| goatkid | Hi Xubuntu | 00:32 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | hello | 00:32 |
| goatkid | Just wondering why twitter mode is not working on emacs Xubuntu. It is working on os x. | 00:33 |
| knome | you'll want to ask the emacs developers | 00:34 |
| goatkid | fat chance. They're having a love fest. It's supposed to work. Any rumors? | 00:35 |
| knome | i don't use it, and it's not installed by default on xubuntu, so i have no idea | 00:35 |
| goatkid | In other words you don't use emacs? | 00:36 |
| knome | how else would you interpret "i don't use it" ? | 00:36 |
| goatkid | Wow. That's too bad. What do you use for text and such. | 00:37 |
| ochosi | vim, atom, mousepad, gedit, nano | 00:37 |
| goatkid | How you get to twitter? Just go to the browser? Or no twitter. | 00:38 |
| knome | this is getting offtopic for this channel, you can use #xubuntu-offtopic for the general chatter | 00:39 |
| DabvAstur | ¿Quién de aquí habla español? | 00:43 |
| Unit193 | !es | DabvAstur | 00:43 |
| ubottu | DabvAstur: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 00:43 |
| DabvAstur | Thanks very much | 00:43 |
| Unit193 | Sure thing! | 00:44 |
| GeekDude | Any way to get my Xubuntu desktop (ethernet dhcp) to "broadcast" it's name so I can just type "ping media" instead of "ping ip.add.re.ss"? Preferrably without editing the hosts file of every computer on the network. | 01:29 |
| knome | GeekDude, you can do that already. | 01:32 |
| GeekDude | Well, it doesn't seem to be working out of the box | 01:33 |
| Unit193 | GeekDude: try ping name.local | 01:34 |
| GeekDude | "media@media:~$ ping name.local"\n"ping: unknown host name.local" | 01:35 |
| Unit193 | What avahi packages do you have? | 01:36 |
| GeekDude | In the Xubuntu Settings>Network it shows up as media http://i.imgur.com/xFBeQ6b.png | 01:36 |
| GeekDude | AFAIK none, unless they came with Xubuntu Desktop | 01:36 |
| Unit193 | Should have come with it. | 01:36 |
| GeekDude | https://gist.github.com/cbb63f9daeb62eaae620 | 01:37 |
| Unit193 | /etc/host.conf should have hosts,bind iirc. | 01:39 |
| GeekDude | "order hosts,bind" | 01:39 |
| GeekDude | '# The "order" line is only used by old versions of the C library.' | 01:40 |
| GeekDude | Does it help to say that I'm pinging from windows? Ideally this would work cross-platform | 01:40 |
| GeekDude | Though the ping name.local was run on the actual Xubuntu box | 01:40 |
| Unit193 | Ahh, try from that box to somewhere else. | 01:40 |
| Unit193 | I also have 'multi on' | 01:41 |
| GeekDude | ... like, to another named host? | 01:41 |
| GeekDude | It can't ping any of the named hosts I can from my windows machine | 01:41 |
| GeekDude | Unit193: I installed winbinds and now I can ping to the desktop, but not from the desktop | 02:34 |
| GeekDude | my nsswitch.conf now looks like this https://gist.github.com/144b61c2f197b9231109 | 02:35 |
| GeekDude | Unit193: I got it working! | 03:09 |
| Unit193 | Oh hey, there you are! Congrats! Do anything special? | 03:09 |
| GeekDude | Apparently on newer versions of ubuntu (and derivatives) you need to install winbind and libnss-winbind | 03:10 |
| GeekDude | not just winbind | 03:10 |
| GeekDude | I'm going to do some further testing in a clean VM | 03:10 |
| GeekDude | though it's a bit strange that it doesn't work out of the box, and that it isn't written out plainly in the top google results | 03:12 |
| cubed_root | folks - i'm running ubuntu 14.04 and cinnamon 2.4.6; my software-update ppa was out of date so i disabled it in software-properties-gtk and then ran 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lestcape/cinnamon' and 'sudo apt-get update'; should that do it? | 03:15 |
| cubed_root | (i skipped the apt-get install cinnamon because i'm already running it) | 03:15 |
| holstein | well, ppa's are unsupported.. it may be the PPA is dead? or just down.. | 03:16 |
| * xangua didn't see a question | 03:16 | |
| cubed_root | it appears to be dead | 03:16 |
| holstein | i would try http://askubuntu.com/questions/307/how-can-ppas-be-removed | 03:16 |
| cubed_root | well they had a stable version but it moved and someone else is hosting it | 03:16 |
| cubed_root | thanks holstein | 03:17 |
| GeekDude | Unit193: Further investigation shows that just libnss-winbind works great. However, since I already installed the winbind package I think I'll just leave it | 03:22 |
| Unit193 | I likely got those with samba. | 03:22 |
| GeekDude | samba does rely on 'em | 03:25 |
| GeekDude | Would you recommend I install the whole samba suite? | 03:25 |
| Unit193 | Only if you plan on using it or need it. | 03:26 |
| GeekDude | It sounds like it could help with printing. However, I plan to make the linux box the print server, so... | 03:26 |
| * GeekDude googles CUPS configuration | 03:26 | |
| Unit193 | Useful for me to share the printer with her Windows 7. | 03:27 |
| GeekDude | We just got a brand-new old Brother wired network printer. It'd be nice to be able to print from iOS so I'm going to set up the linux box as an AirPrint server | 03:28 |
| holstein | i get those HP's you can email, or, i setup a google cloud print to be able to email.. something where, i can print from everything, like its 2015. | 03:31 |
| GeekDude | We have one of those, but it's an inkjet | 03:40 |
| GeekDude | woohoo, I went to print a test page and got a page printed out "ERROR NAME; undefined"\n"COMMAND; E &16D &k12H &10O &12,"\n"OPERAND STACK;" and about six pages of random ascii | 03:50 |
| GeekDude | Well, it prints now! | 04:03 |
| GeekDude | Not sure about over the network, but I'm starting to annoy the family with loud printer noises at 11PM | 04:03 |

| GeekDude | Unit193: Well, something must've gone wrong in the night because the print server automatically printed 16 pages with "ERROR" on them, and I can no longer ping the desktop by its hostname | 17:32 |
| holstein | i set static ip's and refer to ip, when i want things to be persistent like that | 17:33 |
| lopta | Are there separate ISO images for flash use or something to prepent to the DVD iso before I dd it to a USB flash stick? | 18:17 |
| elfy | lopta: same image | 18:19 |
| lopta | elfy: Thanks, just dd it onto a flash stick then? | 18:20 |
| elfy | if that's how you like to do it :) | 18:22 |
| lopta | elfy: Mostly because I've run out of blank DVDs at the office. | 18:32 |
| elfy | right - well I tend to not use dd very often - then wonder if I have the synatx right, so end up using a gui tool mostly :) | 18:35 |
| elfy | lopta: ^^ | 18:35 |
| lopta | I use dd every day ;-) | 18:36 |
| elfy | however given the choice between using DVD and USB I would use USB every time now :) | 18:36 |
| elfy | lopta: :) | 18:36 |
| lopta | I have to wait for the ISO to download before I can try it though. | 18:36 |
| elfy | yea that can be a pain for some, pretty quick here | 18:37 |
| lopta | elfy: Thanks | 18:50 |
| sergio-br2 | does this already fixed in vivid? --> https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/issues/26 | 20:14 |
| sergio-br2 | "Add blueman-sendto to Send To menu of Thunar file manager" | 20:14 |
| sergio-br2 | cool feature to have out-of-box in the system | 20:14 |
| brainwash | sergio-br2: no | 20:22 |
| sergio-br2 | the work flow to send files with bluetooth is pretty hard... | 20:22 |
| sergio-br2 | you can't send from ristretto, so you have to open blueman, browse to the folder of the file, and find the file | 20:24 |
| sergio-br2 | with pictures, you have to match exactly the same name as it appears in ristretto... and you have dozen of "IMG_0xxx" | 20:24 |
| ochosi | i guess ristretto could use some "sharing" features (stuff like flickr) and also bluetooth | 20:26 |
| ochosi | i'd say feel free to submit patches ;) | 20:26 |
| sergio-br2 | :p | 20:26 |
| astraL | Hello | 20:26 |
| elfy | hello astraL | 20:27 |
| elfy | and evening sergio-br2 ochosi brainwash :) | 20:27 |
| brainwash | ristretto could use some bug fixes first | 20:27 |
| brainwash | hi elfy | 20:27 |
| ochosi | actually a few bugs were fixed recently in git | 20:27 |
| brainwash | that's good news | 20:27 |
| sergio-br2 | good evening | 20:27 |
| ochosi | but yeah, it needs a new maintainer, generally speaking | 20:28 |
| astraL | Iam trying to install xubuntu 14.04 on a partition, i tryed for one week now and i still cant | 20:28 |
| astraL | On the log in screen it freeze after 10 sec, and if i try to push a button on my keyboard it freeze directly | 20:29 |
| astraL | Can do nothing at all, no commads' no terminal''' | 20:29 |
| astraL | And my searchs on google didn,t help me at all | 20:29 |
| astraL | Im desesperate, and this is my last try, after that i give up linux... | 20:30 |
| elfy | astraL: first - what hardware, second - what are you installing from - usb/dvd, third - have you checked that the things you're using to install with are all good? | 20:32 |
| astraL | Any idea what could it be ? | 20:33 |
| astraL | Looks like my computer is just allergic on xubuntu | 20:33 |
| astraL | My install worked on other pc's, the problem is only on mine pc | 20:33 |
| asraL | hi | 20:38 |
| ochosi | elfy: i think you should just repost your question until you get answers :p | 20:39 |
| asraL | im trying to install xubuntu since last week, i managed to install it on many systems before, but on my actual pc it just did't work. | 20:39 |
| ochosi | asraL: try to answer elfy's questions, otherwise we can't really help you | 20:40 |
| asraL | my xubuntu freeze at the login screen after 5-10 secs | 20:40 |
| asraL | if i press any key on my keyboard it freeze immediatly | 20:40 |
| elfy | astraL: first - what hardware, second - what are you installing from - usb/dvd, third - have you checked that the things you're using to install with are all good? | 20:40 |
| asraL | im installing it at the side of my windows 7 | 20:41 |
| asraL | im installing from a live non persistent usb key | 20:41 |
| asraL | and my installation is perfect since it worked on many other comouters | 20:42 |
| elfy | do you mean that the usb has installed properly elsewhere? | 20:42 |
| ochosi | (the *same* usb key) | 20:44 |
| elfy | asraL: try opening a terminal Ctrl+T then run | 20:45 |
| elfy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10097576/ | 20:46 |
| elfy | /exec -o inxi -F | pastebinit | 20:46 |
| elfy | and you can safely ignore my paste :D | 20:46 |
