[00:32] <goatkid> Hi Xubuntu
[00:32] <knome> hello
[00:33] <goatkid> Just wondering why twitter mode is not working on emacs Xubuntu.  It is working on os x.
[00:34] <knome> you'll want to ask the emacs developers
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <goatkid> In other words you don't use emacs?
[00:36] <knome> how else would you interpret "i don't use it" ?
[00:37] <goatkid> Wow.  That's too bad.  What do you use for text and such.
[00:37] <ochosi> vim, atom, mousepad, gedit, nano
[00:38] <goatkid> How you get to twitter?  Just go to the browser?  Or no twitter.
[00:39] <knome> this is getting offtopic for this channel, you can use #xubuntu-offtopic for the general chatter
[00:43] <DabvAstur> ¿Quién de aquí habla español?
[00:43] <Unit193> !es | DabvAstur
[00:43] <DabvAstur> Thanks very much
[00:44] <Unit193> Sure thing!
[01:29] <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.
[01:32] <knome> GeekDude, you can do that already.
[01:33] <GeekDude> Well, it doesn't seem to be working out of the box
[01:34] <Unit193> GeekDude: try ping name.local
[01:35] <GeekDude> "media@media:~$ ping name.local"\n"ping: unknown host name.local"
[01:36] <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.
[01:37] <GeekDude> https://gist.github.com/cbb63f9daeb62eaae620
[01:39] <Unit193> /etc/host.conf should have hosts,bind iirc.
[01:39] <GeekDude> "order hosts,bind"
[01:40] <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.
[01:41] <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
[02:34] <GeekDude> Unit193: I installed winbinds and now I can ping to the desktop, but not from the desktop
[02:35] <GeekDude> my nsswitch.conf now looks like this https://gist.github.com/144b61c2f197b9231109
[03:09] <GeekDude> Unit193: I got it working!
[03:09] <Unit193> Oh hey, there you are!  Congrats!  Do anything special?
[03:10] <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
[03:12] <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
[03:15] <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)
[03:16] <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
[03:17] <cubed_root> thanks holstein
[03:22] <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.
[03:25] <GeekDude> samba does rely on 'em
[03:25] <GeekDude> Would you recommend I install the whole samba suite?
[03:26] <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 
[03:27] <Unit193> Useful for me to share the printer with her Windows 7.
[03:28] <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
[03:31] <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.
[03:40] <GeekDude> We have one of those, but it's an inkjet
[03:50] <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
[04:03] <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
[10:14] <LeMike> Hello. Does someone have Skype and is able to see others screens? All my sessions with an OSX user are not capable of sharing a screen. He enables it but I get nothing.
[10:48] <ryanmm> hi all, may I ask some issues?
[10:49] <ryanmm> My xubuntu windows screens is not fit
[10:49] <ryanmm> I looked for in Google but not get any solution yet
[11:37] <xubuntu13w> hi, i just installed the 14.10 version of xubuntu but im missing the quick start panel at the bottom, what am i missing ?
[11:37] <xubuntu13w> thx
[11:44] <elfy> xubuntu13w: you're missing reading that we changed to a single panel in 14.04
[11:44] <elfy> what you have is normal
[11:45] <xubuntu13w> okay thx, ill read the docs
[11:46] <elfy> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes/Xubuntu
[11:48] <xubuntu13w> in other words i dont have any quickstarters for some apps ? and need to use alwasy the search ?
[11:48] <elfy> as default - you can of course add a new panel and launchers yourself
[11:48] <xubuntu13w> okay thx alot!
[11:49] <elfy> my single panel looks nothing like the default one.
[11:49] <elfy> xubuntu13w: no problem :)
[11:49] <xubuntu13w> last question ^. can i acces the search via a key ?
[11:49] <elfy> I don't know what you mean?
[11:50] <xubuntu13w> i dont want to always click on the button
[11:50] <xubuntu13w> dont like to use the mouse ^
[11:50] <elfy> Ctrl+esc opens whiskermenu and you're in the search box by default
[11:51] <xubuntu13w> k thats really n1, thx and have a n1 day
[11:51] <elfy> is that what you mean?
[11:51] <xubuntu13w> yes
[11:51] <elfy> cool - yea you too :)
[13:48] <sasa> Hallo. First time in my life i cant install Xubuntu beta. How to get and dump diagnose data of ubiquity? I want to report bug.
[13:50] <elfy> if you're on the desktop, open a terminal and ubuntu-bug ubiquity
[13:51] <sasa> Ok, ty.
[14:03] <xubuntu60w> Hi, copying files to USB drives is very slow in 64bit compared to 32bit Xubuntu 14.0.1, file copying freezes when almost done and stays there for a couple minutes then finishes successfully. what could be the problem?
[14:13] <Eston> Hello everybody
[14:13] <Eston> i have a quick question
[14:14] <Eston> do someone know the terminal command to restart xfce ?
[14:14] <Eston> it should be something like : xfcew --replace
[14:14] <bazhang> the panel?
[14:14] <Eston> no i mean to replace it
[14:14] <bazhang> !panels
[14:15] <Eston> xfce4-panelit seems to have crashed on my computer,
[14:15] <Eston> sorry
[14:16] <Eston> in fact my interface dosent work
[14:16] <Eston> i think i need to do a --replace
[14:16] <Eston> to kick out compiz
[14:17] <Eston> Ow its okay i found, i just had to do a compiz --replace, sorry guys and thanks for your help
[17:32] <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
[17:33] <holstein> i set static ip's and refer to ip, when i want things to be persistent like that
[18:17] <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?
[18:19] <elfy> lopta: same image
[18:20] <lopta> elfy: Thanks, just dd it onto a flash stick then?
[18:22] <elfy> if that's how you like to do it :)
[18:32] <lopta> elfy: Mostly because I've run out of blank DVDs at the office.
[18:35] <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: ^^
[18:36] <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.
[18:37] <elfy> yea that can be a pain for some, pretty quick here
[18:50] <lopta> elfy: Thanks
[20:14] <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
[20:22] <brainwash> sergio-br2: no
[20:22] <sergio-br2> the work flow to send files with bluetooth is pretty hard...
[20:24] <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"
[20:26] <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
[20:27] <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
[20:28] <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
[20:29] <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
[20:30] <astraL> Im desesperate, and this is my last try, after that i give up linux...
[20:32] <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?
[20:33] <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
[20:38] <asraL> hi
[20:39] <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.
[20:40] <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?
[20:41] <asraL> im installing it at the side of my windows 7
[20:41] <asraL> im installing from a live non persistent usb key
[20:42] <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?
[20:44] <ochosi> (the *same* usb key)
[20:45] <elfy> asraL: try opening a terminal Ctrl+T then run
[20:46] <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
