| xubuntu82w | Hey everybody. Someone in LQ is helping me and all I have to do in the nano editor is put a # in front of a line and I can't figure out how to do it. Can somebody please tell me how? | 02:56 |
| xubuntu82w | I can't get the cursor in front of the line. I can't paste the #. There has to be a way. | 02:58 |
| nanotube | xubuntu82w: just use arrow keys to move the cursor around... | 03:08 |
| xubuntu82w | nano, thx. I have a new issue now though. (I figured out how to put the # in). | 03:08 |
| xubuntu82w | My new issue is... | 03:09 |
| xubuntu82w | ...my instructions were to put in the # and then just "Save and exit nano by ctrl-o and then ctrl-x." | 03:09 |
| xubuntu82w | But when I did Ctrl-0 and ctrl-x I didn't exit Nano. It gives me this: File Name to Write: /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:11 |
| nanotube | hit enter when it gives you filename | 03:11 |
| xubuntu82w | Well, it gave me that line I just put there: File Name to Write: /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:12 |
| xubuntu82w | So I should just hit enter? | 03:12 |
| nanotube | yes | 03:12 |
| xubuntu82w | I'll try it. | 03:12 |
| nanotube | it's basically asking you where to write changes. and the default is the file that you are editing | 03:12 |
| nanotube | (you can put in something else if you wanted to save a copy somewhere else) | 03:12 |
| xubuntu82w | when I hit enter I got this: Error writing /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied | 03:13 |
| nanotube | ah... yes. you should have used sudo to edit as administrator | 03:13 |
| xubuntu82w | So what do I do? LOL | 03:14 |
| nanotube | so you should exit and try again. hit ctl-x, type 'n' to not save changes | 03:14 |
| nanotube | then, run nano again, using sudo. type: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:14 |
| nanotube | and it'll ask you for your password before proceeding. | 03:14 |
| xubuntu82w | so i just hit Ctl-x first and then type n ? | 03:15 |
| nanotube | right, hit ctl-x. it'll ask you whether to save, type n | 03:15 |
| xubuntu82w | ill try it | 03:16 |
| xubuntu82w | ok, it worked. Thanks! You going to be around for a few minutes? Walk me thru the sudo bit? | 03:16 |
| nanotube | sure | 03:17 |
| nanotube | but... i already did :) | 03:17 |
| nanotube | just put 'sudo ' in front of your previous command | 03:17 |
| xubuntu82w | LOL Just be there to hold my hand if I panic! | 03:17 |
| nanotube | hehe ok | 03:18 |
| nanotube | http://top-science-fiction-novels.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/dontpanic_1024.jpeg | 03:19 |
| xubuntu82w | LOL | 03:19 |
| xubuntu82w | ok I did the sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list command. I made added the # i needed to. I hit Ctrl-o then Ctrl X. then I hit enter. But the nano editor is still there. | 03:23 |
| xubuntu82w | at the bottom it says [wrote 56 lines] | 03:23 |
| nanotube | good, now hit ctl-x should exit | 03:23 |
| nanotube | you should have done ctl-o, enter, ctl-x. :) not ctl-x before enter. but no harm done, just hit ctl-x again | 03:24 |
| xubuntu82w | I did. It worked. So I did the sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list thing correctly? | 03:25 |
| nanotube | so it seems :) | 03:25 |
| xubuntu82w | Okay. Phew! I'm good then. THANKS SO VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!! | 03:26 |
| nanotube | no problem :) | 03:26 |
| xubuntu82w | Have a good night. | 03:26 |
| nanotube | you as well! | 03:26 |
| xubuntu82w | Thx! | 03:26 |
| stfn_ | so, running xubuntu 14.04 I made a standard upgrade yesterday, nothing fancy, but when I tried to boot this morning there is the splash screen, but instead of the login screen it goes blank. ctrl-alt-f1, ctrl-alt-f2 still work, so that's a positive, but really don't know where to start to try and solve this. any suggestions? | 07:40 |
| baizon | stfn_: reinstall lightdm? | 07:46 |
| stfn_ | baizon: that's one thing I could try. I looked through the dpkg log and found that one of the packages upgraded yesterday was xserver-xorg-video-intel:amd64, so that seems like a likely culprit. | 07:50 |
| baizon | indeed | 07:51 |
| stfn_ | But should I even have this package when I'm using a Nvidia card? | 07:51 |
| stfn_ | ah, apparently I have switchable graphics in the form of an Intel HD Graphics 3000 as well | 07:55 |
| baizon | stfn_: only if you have an hybrid laptop | 07:55 |
| baizon | with an intel cpu/gpu | 07:55 |
| stfn_ | baizon: yeah, that was it. the new version was a rather suspicious looking '2:2.99.917+git201526.64e9c790-0ubuntu0sarvatt~trusty', so I downgraded to the previous '2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1.3' and it all works fine and dandy again. Thanks for your assistance. | 08:11 |
| baizon | stfn_: np =) | 08:11 |
| stfn_ | baizon: well, maybe not _all_ fine and dandy. I get the login screen now, but am stuck in a login loop. ah well, the quest goes on. | 08:16 |
| baizon | stfn_: try clearing .cache/session | 08:17 |
| stfn_ | baizon: no luck | 08:26 |
| stfn_ | changing the owner of .Xauthority and .ICEauthority allowed me to log in. some residual issues but nothing severe | 08:52 |
| ICTstudent | Hello, any help why isnt my xubuntu connecting to WLAN networks with Webauth | 09:07 |
| ICTstudent | It just keeps rolling to connecting icon but doesnt open the login screen on browser | 09:09 |
| ICTstudent | Well runned out of time | 09:12 |
| xubuntu32w | restated my xubuntu system and then it boots up to login screen and then just returns there after entering login info | 13:28 |
| knome | what did you do before restarting? | 13:31 |
| xubuntu32w | i think i changed the icon of the menu on the desktop | 13:31 |
| knome | any other configuration changes between the last and penultimate restarts? | 13:32 |
| xubuntu32w | nope | 13:33 |
| brainwash | maybe you need to change the owner of .Xauthority and .ICEauthority (common issue if one messes around with sudo) | 13:36 |
| GridCube | can someone explain to me what /usr/bin/X -core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch" means? | 16:25 |
| GridCube | its using almost 40% of my cpu constantly | 16:26 |

| alcides | guys, does anyone has a tutorial that really works to make the dropbox icon appears in tray? | 16:31 |
| holstein | alcides: check out http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/how-to-install-dropbox-in-xubuntu-and.html and see if its still relevant for your needs.. | 16:32 |
| alcides | holstein i'm going to try | 16:34 |
| xangua | dropbox doesn't havbe a thunar plugin (¿) | 16:41 |

| kalkal | just wondering, what's the lastest version of xfce supported by 10.04? | 22:28 |
| kalkal | also, any instructions on updating? | 22:28 |
| kalkal | tried various but the repositories seem dead | 22:28 |
| knome | that's because 10.04 itself isn't supported any more | 22:28 |
| kalkal | yeah unfortunately, it's what my VPS service provides | 22:29 |
| kalkal | is there any way to update, even if it's not an official source? | 22:29 |
| knome | you should be in touch with them an notice them about it.. | 22:29 |
| knome | there's only a way to upgrade out from that release, not packages within that release | 22:30 |
| kalkal | so I'd need to update to a newer version of xubuntu | 22:30 |
| knome | yes | 22:31 |
| knome | !eol | kalkal | 22:31 |
| ubottu | kalkal: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 22:31 |
| knome | the last link covers those upgrades | 22:31 |
| kalkal | apparently, that breaks however they've set up their service. Oh well, I'll just have to be stuck with ye olde xfce | 22:32 |
| knome | you can upgrade to 12.04... which is supported for three more months, after which you will need to upgrade to 14.04 | 22:32 |
| knome | i'd just be in touch with your VPS service to make an update to their services... | 22:32 |
| knome | 14.04 is four years (!) newer than 10.04 | 22:32 |
| knome | talk about time to update :) | 22:33 |
| kalkal | they still seem to be writing new install scripts and stuff specifically for 10.04 | 22:33 |
| kalkal | it's mainly for media streaming anyway, I guess from their perspective, the UI isn't all that important | 22:33 |
| kalkal | although I know there will be many other improvlents, notwithstanding secruity updates and such | 22:34 |
| kalkal | sorta scratching my head as to why they want to stick with 10.04 | 22:34 |
| knome | well, the ubuntu 10.04 core is still supported for 4 months for server... after which they will run out of all updates whatsoever | 22:34 |
| knome | sorry, 3 months... | 22:35 |
| kalkal | will ask them if an update is on the agenda, for all I know, they're just prepping for 12.04 | 22:35 |
| knome | so either they will upgrade, or run an unsupported release, which is likely to be bad for their reputation in the long run | 22:35 |
| knome | fwiw, it would probably be wiser to migrate straight to 14.04 | 22:35 |
| kalkal | good point, well thanks for the info. I'll enquire about their upgrade plans and see what happens | 22:36 |
| knome | no problem | 22:36 |
| kalkal | bye | 22:36 |
| knome | and good luck :) | 22:36 |
| kalkal | :) | 22:36 |
