[01:45] <kubast2> I see tons of offtopic out here :P
[01:46] <bcgrown> My PC hangs during boot (after grub menu) with a blinking cursor. Same thing happens if I try to boot from a live  CD. what happened?? It was working fine yesterday...
[01:46] <kubast2> Oh
[01:46] <bcgrown> Xubuntu 14.04
[01:47] <kubast2> through I was on xubuntu-offtopic[it might look sarcastic] ,I dunno men ,if it doesn't work on live cd
[01:50] <kubast2> For how long it stays like that ,did you tried to redownload and reburn the cd/liveusb
[01:50] <kubast2> Can you make an mem test for awhile and then reboot pc
[01:51] <bcgrown> This livecd has worked before. It stays like that forever. Running memtest now
[02:00] <kubast2> Btw memtest does multiplay passes and it mightbe done by now
[02:00] <knome> not really... you should run memtest for some *hours*
[02:01] <bcgrown> Ya it's been running for 10 min and no errors
[02:01] <knome> it might not hit the errors on the first full run
[02:15] <bcgrown> That seems like an unlikely cause though...
[02:15] <knome> agreed
[02:19] <bcgrown> Tried booting again and it hangs when attempting to mount the root filesystem. I suspect the livecd hangs because it's also trying to do that
[03:38] <Linxcat> is there a gui in xubuntu for display resolution edits?
[03:39] <Linxcat> nevermind, just found it
[04:01] <mini_> hi
[04:02] <mini_> how to install skype on xubuntu 14.04 LTS?
[04:09] <ray_> hi all I am using xubuntu 14.04.01 64 bit, I use dconf-editor to blacklist vlc from the sound indicator but every time I launch vlc it reappears???? anyone have any ideas what might be the issue? this happens to any media player I install or use. I can blacklist them in dconf-editor but as soon as I launch them they reappear?

[05:41] <seronis> i have 1000s of files that i extracted from an old windows *.zip.  all of the filenmes came out as    path\to\blah\realname.ext  instead of  putting the files into directories.  is there a command i can type that will rename/move them all in one batch ?
[05:44] <nomic> maybe you need to extract it on windows to then deal with it seronis
[05:44] <nomic> your zip file has been made & made to extract on windows filing system
[05:44] <seronis> it extracted.. just odd names
[05:45] <seronis> how to rename a batch of files like that into directories wil be useful to know either way
[05:45] <nomic> determines on the filing /directory structure that it was archived on
[05:45] <nomic> would use python
[05:45] <nomic> write a script
[05:45] <nomic> now
[05:47] <seronis> how can i use the mv command to turn    "blah\file.txt"  into    "file.txt"  then ?
[05:47] <seronis> putting filename in quotes and escaping the backslash doesnt work
[05:48] <nomic> you want all your files in 1 directory?
[05:48] <seronis> yup..  if the name matches
[05:48] <seronis> theres dozens of directories.. but i can type a couple dozen commands.  better than a couple thousand
[05:48] <nomic> they are extracted to bla\file?
[05:49] <seronis> they are extraced AS   "blah\file.zip"
[05:49] <seronis> thats a filename.. they are not in subdirectories
[05:49] <nomic> you're going to have to get into scripting
[05:49] <seronis> the backslash is part of the name.
[05:49] <nomic> directory walking
[05:49] <nomic> os.listdir
[05:49] <nomic> then recurse over directories
[05:49] <nomic> scirpting
[05:49] <seronis> i dont need to walk directories.. they are all already in one directory
[05:49] <nomic> ah.. the names
[05:49] <nomic> just the names
[05:49] <nomic> are full path
[05:50] <seronis> yup
[05:50] <seronis> the filename itself  (not the path)  includes the slashes
[05:50] <nomic> you could have duplicate filenames
[05:51] <nomic> htought ouf that?
[05:51] <nomic> thought
[05:51] <seronis> not an issue.. i just need to know how to do        mv     foo\bar.ext  to  bar.ext
[05:51] <seronis> there are no name clashes
[05:52] <nomic> you need a script
[05:52] <seronis> no way to use wildcards in the mv command ?
[05:52] <nomic> you are asking to reprocess the file name/location/definition
[05:52] <nomic> maybe ask in '#ubuntu
[05:53] <nomic> its geeky+ ie. linux command line if its possible
[05:53] <seronis> ok thanks for trying.  appreciate it
[05:53] <nomic> MORE STRAIGHTFORWARD ALWAYS TO JUST WRITE A SCRIPT.
[05:53] <nomic> imo.
[05:53] <nomic> rather than getting into the nightmare world of esoteric command line manipulation
[05:53] <nomic> its fine, its efficient - its 1 off -- but why not just write a script
[05:53]  * nomic sighs
[05:54] <nomic> scripting is the whole swiss army knife .. awk .. also regex .. are 1 blade
[05:54] <nomic> ugly .. extremely primitive IMO ugly
[05:54] <nomic> 1 little tool to do 1 little job in 1 little limited way once
[05:54] <nomic> & the tool is no good for anything else
[05:55] <nomic> learn to script
[05:55] <nomic> far easier than looking into 19thc bash
[05:55] <seronis> now now.. its stil 20thc  =-)
[05:56] <seronis> the accurate insult is bad enough
[05:56] <nomic> find a neckbeard
[05:56] <nomic> bbl
[05:57] <seronis> i am a neckbeard.  i could write up a program in C/C++/Java/LUA to do it in a few minutes.  I just dont know any shell scripting yet
[06:09] <xubuntu41w> Good day. Please help. xrandr gives vga-1-2 and can not turn it off. What to do?

[06:15] <xubuntu41w> Hey! There is somebody able to help with the problem?
[06:16] <roo79x> hi all I have a dell latitude e5410 running xubuntu 14.04 64bit I have an issue with the alpsPS/2 Alps dualpoint touchpad, if I tap on the touchpad it "right clicks" instead of left clicks?
[06:31] <nomic> if ur a 'nedkbeerd'
[06:31] <nomic> how come you can't change a filename
[06:38] <roo79x> hi all I have a dell latitude e5410 running xubuntu 14.04 64bit I have an issue with the alpsPS/2 Alps dualpoint touchpad, if I tap on the touchpad it "right clicks" instead of left clicks?
[06:39] <consolidated> roo79x: weird... that usually happens when im lazy and resting my thumb on the pad already
[06:40] <consolidated> if you two finger click is it a "left" click?
[06:41] <roo79x> consolidated, no it right clicks as well
[06:42] <consolidated> settings -> mouse and touchpad all looks good?
[06:43] <roo79x> yes all looks as it should I think, this is the first dell I have ever owned
[06:53] <roo79x> my settings -> mouse and touchpad http://i57.tinypic.com/33cmzh5.png
[06:56] <consolidated> weird. probably a driver issue but i don't know enough to help, sorry
[06:57] <consolidated> some interesting googling about fixes with alps and dells though, if you feel like researching and trying it.
[06:59] <roo79x> I have been googling but everything I try does not seem to help? I'll keep at it, thank you
[09:45] <xubuntu616> Hello all,
[09:49] <xubuntu616> I am installing xubuntu 12.04 on my old computer (p3, 512ram, 20gb hd). Someone told me to use lubuntu as it supports older hardware. Any thoughts?
[09:50] <cfhowlett_> xubuntu616, lubuntu is optimized for legacy hardware.  xubuntu may also work.  with those specs; eithor/or
[09:51] <xubuntu616> wow the install worked. I need to reboot now. how do I get back to this irc/channel ?
[09:51] <xubuntu616> It was an option to connect during the install. haha
[09:52] <cfhowlett_> xubuntu616, install hexchat.  join #freenode > #xubuntu
[09:55] <xubuntu616> install hexchat join #freenode > #xubuntu ---- ok, ty
[09:55] <xubuntu616> how do I install hexchat? I am noob
[09:56] <cfhowlett_> xubuntu616, ubuntu software center
[09:56] <xubuntu616> ok, ty I will reboot now.
[10:42] <knome> cfhowlett_, or the really easy way... go to http://xubuntu.org/irc/
[10:42] <cfhowlett_> knome, nice!  do all the releases have that?
[10:43] <knome> that's the web :P
[10:43] <knome> but re: the installer slideshow, newer releases have a link from that to IRC
[10:44] <cfhowlett_> knome, right.  goog reminder.
[10:44] <cfhowlett_> *good*
[10:44] <knome> :)
[11:33] <edman747> well the 14.04 upgrade is running. cross fingers.
[11:53] <edman747> fetching file 326 of 1510. hmm this could take days
[12:56] <edman747> the 14.04 upgrade goes on .. downloading file 505 of 1510
[12:56] <edman747> check back later in the week.

[15:34] <GridCube> all the sound streams in my box are reproducing sound at a very high speed
[15:37] <GridCube> everything is in hight pitch too
[15:37] <GridCube> i've tried to unload and reload alsa
[15:37] <GridCube> but it has done nothing
[15:39] <GridCube> maybe i just need to reboot
[15:42] <GridCube> yep
[15:42] <GridCube> that did it
[17:41] <Hund> :D
[18:06] <xubuntu93w> I have a wireless headphones don't work on xubuntu but on windows, can we do something?
[22:22] <esphera> good evening
[22:22] <slickymaster> !hi | esphera
[22:23] <esphera> i have this setup: Caminho do hardware  Dispositivo  Classe      Descrição [22:23] <esphera> ok... i have to pastebin it, forgot sorry.
[22:25] <esphera> i have this setup: http://pastebin.com/ybyab2Qn
[22:25] <esphera> but im noticing that the system is very slow, and there are some graphic glitches
[22:25] <esphera> can someone help me solving this please?
[22:26] <esphera> appreciated
[22:34] <brainwash> esphera: that's an ancient system, especially the geforce4 mx
[22:35] <brainwash> esphera: you should disable the compositor (settings manager > window manager tweaks > last tab)
[22:37] <esphera> hey brainwash
[22:37] <esphera> shall i reboot?
[22:38] <brainwash> no
[22:38] <brainwash> so, there is no performance gain after disabling the compositor?
[22:38] <esphera> not much...
[22:39] <esphera> specially media on the browser
[22:39] <esphera> i can even view a youtube video on facebook
[22:39] <esphera> cant*
[22:39] <brainwash> don't expect any miracles
[22:40] <brainwash> did it work better at some point?
[22:42] <esphera> hum... probably before web 2.0
[22:43] <esphera> so you mean i just have to bare with it
[22:44] <brainwash> you could test a different distribution
[22:44] <brainwash> one that targets low end hardware
[22:45] <esphera> what would you suggest?
[22:45] <brainwash> but still.. software can't fix the problem if the hardware is just too old/slow
[22:46] <esphera> i just want to give this machine a chance... give it some purpose
[22:46] <brainwash> you could try Lubuntu
[22:46] <brainwash> or http://crunchbang.org/ (based on debian)
[22:47] <brainwash> which is very lightweight
[22:47] <brainwash> oh, but that's offtopic
[22:47] <brainwash> !ot
[22:47] <esphera> sure
[22:48] <esphera> thank you for your help :)
[22:48] <brainwash> you're welcome :)
[22:48] <esphera> will try
