[02:38] <Nixus> have a strange issue, and I need some help. when I press the power button on my laptop, it does a instant power off, then restarts again. it is very annoying as the only way to shut it down is to hold it for 8 seconds. please, any help is appreciated. thank you.
[03:37] <holstein> Nixus: i would be careful about forcing shutdown like that.. i would expect it to break the hard drive at some point.. i would check the hardware.. on cases like, i'll pull the hard drive so i dont break it, and use a live iso via USB or sd card or cd to test
[04:00] <Nixus> I have an SSD
[04:00] <Nixus> do you have an idea on what to do?
[04:01] <holstein> Nixus: again, be careful..
[04:01] <Nixus> but what else to do?
[04:01] <holstein> Nixus: i would test, and isolate, and not assume that powering down the SSD is ok, either..
[04:01] <holstein> Nixus: test.. isolate
[04:02] <holstein> try with a live iso.. see if the behavior is still the same..
[04:02] <Nixus> same issue with both version of xubuntu (14.10 and 14.04
[04:02] <holstein> try with the supported operating system if avialable.. if, for example, windows is officially supported and the issue happens in windows, with all the supported drivers, then, its a hardware issue, likely
[04:03] <holstein> could be something with the hardware specific to linux.. what would i do? just not press the button.. i would workaround as needed
[04:03] <holstein> since, im not promised linux support
[04:03] <Nixus> worked with windows as I recall
[04:04] <holstein> Nixus: sure.. it "worked" with windows, but, if you dont have it, to confirm, you cant assume its not a hardware issue
[04:04] <Nixus> it worked in windows -_-
[04:04] <Nixus> trust me
[04:05] <holstein> Nixus: sure.. "worked".. but, if you dont have it to test, you cant assume its still working
[04:05] <holstein> could be not working with windows anymore.. i would search "ubuntu hardware model" and see if i see any other information about ubuntu on that hardware, or linux in general
[04:05] <Nixus> it was working in 14.10, but now it's not
[04:05] <Nixus> TRUST ME
[04:05] <holstein> Nixus: ok.. so, why not now?
[04:05] <Nixus> if I reinstall, it works for some time
[04:05] <holstein> Nixus: it *is* possible, that the hardware broke
[04:06] <holstein> Nixus: could be, you update the kernel, and a newer kernel breaks support..
[04:06] <holstein> test and isolate.. i'll use live iso's for that, and not kernel versions and any modules in use
[04:07] <mattwj2002> hi all
[04:07] <mattwj2002> :)
[07:57] <dman79> dont know if this is the right place to ask.. i'm running xubuntu and I can't get parole player to work.. i did google for a solution and tried the "parole --xv false" fix
[07:58] <cfhowlett> dman79, more info: turn parole from the terminal and provide error messages
[07:58] <dman79> but no luck.. gstreamer0.10-plugin-base is installed dunno what else might be needed
[07:58] <nomic> why on xubuntu 14.04 does screen saver blanking kick in -- even though xset has it disabled even though light locker is disabled
[07:58] <dman79> ok
[07:58] <nomic> since they "fixed" the "screen saver" with "light locker"
[07:58] <nomic> everyone has this problem.
[07:59] <cfhowlett> nomic, xscreensaver and lightlocker conflict.  choose one or the other.
[07:59] <nomic> i have REMOVED light locker
[07:59] <dman79> Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
[07:59] <dman79> Cannot connect to server request channel
[07:59] <dman79> jack server is not running or cannot be started
[07:59] <nomic> i have xsxreensvaer siabled
[07:59] <nomic> it still blkanks
[07:59] <dman79> thats what i got.. when playing the file
[08:00] <cfhowlett> dman79, check your power settings
[08:00] <dman79> k thanks
[09:49] <howdystranger> Hello
[09:50] <knome> hello
[09:50] <howdystranger> can anyone explain to me the rationale behind shipping Abiword by default over Libre Office? Is Abi Word better?
[09:51] <knome> it is lighter and it serves the same purpose for a regular user
[09:51] <knome> you can install libreoffice from the repositories
[09:51] <howdystranger> yeah it's always the first thing I do when I install Xubuntu haha
[09:52] <howdystranger> "lighter" is a fair enough rationale I guess :-)
[10:29] <xubuntu13w> hallo i'm massimo from Italy and i want know to install jdivelog 2.18.jar on Xubuntu or if there're other programm for read my dive computer scubapro Aladin that use Smart trak

[10:31] <xubuntu13w> ok grazie
[11:41] <bluesabre> 13w might have appreciated http://subsurface-divelog.org/
[11:42] <knome> looked like -it was a good channel for him though
[11:43] <bluesabre> agreed
[18:27] <Kekai> Hello, I appear to be having issues with Google chrome as of late.
[18:28] <Kekai> I run Xubuntu 14.04 LTS on a Lenovo S10 Netbook.
[18:28] <Kekai> Other programs run really smooth
[18:28] <Kekai> its only Google chrome that loads weirdly.
[18:29] <Kekai> It loads the page and broswer but only partially.
[18:29] <Kekai> I need to hover over icons to get them to appear
[18:30] <Kekai> Its not only at first loading, its also at anytime I switch from applications to the browser or desktop
[18:35] <skinoku> buonasera a tutti!
[18:35] <knome> Kekai, ask the chrome support channels
[18:35] <knome> !it | skinoku
[18:36] <skinoku> ok, sorry
