[02:49] i enable them from the menu but i se no sign of my wirelesscard elsewhere [02:49] xubuntu247: What chipset? [02:50] bcom [02:50] !b43 [02:50] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [02:51] let'ss ee thanks [02:56] 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? [02:58] I can't get the cursor in front of the line. I can't paste the #. There has to be a way. [03:08] xubuntu82w: just use arrow keys to move the cursor around... [03:08] nano, thx. I have a new issue now though. (I figured out how to put the # in). [03:09] My new issue is... [03:09] ...my instructions were to put in the # and then just "Save and exit nano by ctrl-o and then ctrl-x." [03:11] 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] hit enter when it gives you filename [03:12] Well, it gave me that line I just put there: File Name to Write: /etc/apt/sources.list [03:12] So I should just hit enter? [03:12] yes [03:12] I'll try it. [03:12] it's basically asking you where to write changes. and the default is the file that you are editing [03:12] (you can put in something else if you wanted to save a copy somewhere else) [03:13] when I hit enter I got this: Error writing /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied [03:13] ah... yes. you should have used sudo to edit as administrator [03:14] So what do I do? LOL [03:14] so you should exit and try again. hit ctl-x, type 'n' to not save changes [03:14] then, run nano again, using sudo. type: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [03:14] and it'll ask you for your password before proceeding. [03:15] so i just hit Ctl-x first and then type n ? [03:15] right, hit ctl-x. it'll ask you whether to save, type n [03:16] ill try it [03:16] ok, it worked. Thanks! You going to be around for a few minutes? Walk me thru the sudo bit? [03:17] sure [03:17] but... i already did :) [03:17] just put 'sudo ' in front of your previous command [03:17] LOL Just be there to hold my hand if I panic! [03:18] hehe ok [03:19] http://top-science-fiction-novels.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/dontpanic_1024.jpeg [03:19] LOL [03:23] 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] at the bottom it says [wrote 56 lines] [03:23] good, now hit ctl-x should exit [03:24] you should have done ctl-o, enter, ctl-x. :) not ctl-x before enter. but no harm done, just hit ctl-x again [03:25] I did. It worked. So I did the sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list thing correctly? [03:25] so it seems :) [03:26] Okay. Phew! I'm good then. THANKS SO VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!! [03:26] no problem :) [03:26] Have a good night. [03:26] you as well! [03:26] Thx! [07:40] 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? [07:46] stfn_: reinstall lightdm? [07:50] 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. [07:51] indeed [07:51] But should I even have this package when I'm using a Nvidia card? [07:55] ah, apparently I have switchable graphics in the form of an Intel HD Graphics 3000 as well [07:55] stfn_: only if you have an hybrid laptop [07:55] with an intel cpu/gpu [08:11] 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] stfn_: np =) [08:16] 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. [08:17] stfn_: try clearing .cache/session [08:26] baizon: no luck [08:52] changing the owner of .Xauthority and .ICEauthority allowed me to log in. some residual issues but nothing severe [09:07] Hello, any help why isnt my xubuntu connecting to WLAN networks with Webauth [09:09] It just keeps rolling to connecting icon but doesnt open the login screen on browser [09:12] Well runned out of time [13:28] restated my xubuntu system and then it boots up to login screen and then just returns there after entering login info [13:31] what did you do before restarting? [13:31] i think i changed the icon of the menu on the desktop [13:32] any other configuration changes between the last and penultimate restarts? [13:33] nope [13:36] maybe you need to change the owner of .Xauthority and .ICEauthority (common issue if one messes around with sudo) [16:25] can someone explain to me what /usr/bin/X -core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch" means? [16:26] its using almost 40% of my cpu constantly [16:26] http://i.imgur.com/MmhESEd.png [16:31] guys, does anyone has a tutorial that really works to make the dropbox icon appears in tray? [16:32] 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.. [16:34] holstein i'm going to try [16:41] dropbox doesn't havbe a thunar plugin (¿) === repsol_ is now known as adrenaline === ubott2 is now known as ubottu === paolo_ is now known as paolo [22:28] just wondering, what's the lastest version of xfce supported by 10.04? [22:28] also, any instructions on updating? [22:28] tried various but the repositories seem dead [22:28] that's because 10.04 itself isn't supported any more [22:29] yeah unfortunately, it's what my VPS service provides [22:29] is there any way to update, even if it's not an official source? [22:29] you should be in touch with them an notice them about it.. [22:30] there's only a way to upgrade out from that release, not packages within that release [22:30] so I'd need to update to a newer version of xubuntu [22:31] yes [22:31] !eol | kalkal [22:31] 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] the last link covers those upgrades [22:32] 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] 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] i'd just be in touch with your VPS service to make an update to their services... [22:32] 14.04 is four years (!) newer than 10.04 [22:33] talk about time to update :) [22:33] they still seem to be writing new install scripts and stuff specifically for 10.04 [22:33] it's mainly for media streaming anyway, I guess from their perspective, the UI isn't all that important [22:34] although I know there will be many other improvlents, notwithstanding secruity updates and such [22:34] sorta scratching my head as to why they want to stick with 10.04 [22:34] well, the ubuntu 10.04 core is still supported for 4 months for server... after which they will run out of all updates whatsoever [22:35] sorry, 3 months... [22:35] will ask them if an update is on the agenda, for all I know, they're just prepping for 12.04 [22:35] 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] fwiw, it would probably be wiser to migrate straight to 14.04 [22:36] good point, well thanks for the info. I'll enquire about their upgrade plans and see what happens [22:36] no problem [22:36] bye [22:36] and good luck :) [22:36] :)
