[00:32] Hi Xubuntu [00:32] hello [00:33] Just wondering why twitter mode is not working on emacs Xubuntu. It is working on os x. [00:34] you'll want to ask the emacs developers [00:35] fat chance. They're having a love fest. It's supposed to work. Any rumors? [00:35] i don't use it, and it's not installed by default on xubuntu, so i have no idea [00:36] In other words you don't use emacs? [00:36] how else would you interpret "i don't use it" ? [00:37] Wow. That's too bad. What do you use for text and such. [00:37] vim, atom, mousepad, gedit, nano [00:38] How you get to twitter? Just go to the browser? Or no twitter. [00:39] this is getting offtopic for this channel, you can use #xubuntu-offtopic for the general chatter [00:43] ¿Quién de aquí habla español? [00:43] !es | DabvAstur [00:43] 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] Thanks very much [00:44] Sure thing! [01:29] 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] GeekDude, you can do that already. [01:33] Well, it doesn't seem to be working out of the box [01:34] GeekDude: try ping name.local [01:35] "media@media:~$ ping name.local"\n"ping: unknown host name.local" [01:36] What avahi packages do you have? [01:36] In the Xubuntu Settings>Network it shows up as media http://i.imgur.com/xFBeQ6b.png [01:36] AFAIK none, unless they came with Xubuntu Desktop [01:36] Should have come with it. [01:37] https://gist.github.com/cbb63f9daeb62eaae620 [01:39] /etc/host.conf should have hosts,bind iirc. [01:39] "order hosts,bind" [01:40] '# The "order" line is only used by old versions of the C library.' [01:40] Does it help to say that I'm pinging from windows? Ideally this would work cross-platform [01:40] Though the ping name.local was run on the actual Xubuntu box [01:40] Ahh, try from that box to somewhere else. [01:41] I also have 'multi on' [01:41] ... like, to another named host? [01:41] It can't ping any of the named hosts I can from my windows machine [02:34] Unit193: I installed winbinds and now I can ping to the desktop, but not from the desktop [02:35] my nsswitch.conf now looks like this https://gist.github.com/144b61c2f197b9231109 [03:09] Unit193: I got it working! [03:09] Oh hey, there you are! Congrats! Do anything special? [03:10] Apparently on newer versions of ubuntu (and derivatives) you need to install winbind and libnss-winbind [03:10] not just winbind [03:10] I'm going to do some further testing in a clean VM [03:12] 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] 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] (i skipped the apt-get install cinnamon because i'm already running it) [03:16] 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] it appears to be dead [03:16] i would try http://askubuntu.com/questions/307/how-can-ppas-be-removed [03:16] well they had a stable version but it moved and someone else is hosting it [03:17] thanks holstein [03:22] 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] I likely got those with samba. [03:25] samba does rely on 'em [03:25] Would you recommend I install the whole samba suite? [03:26] Only if you plan on using it or need it. [03:26] 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] Useful for me to share the printer with her Windows 7. [03:28] 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] 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] We have one of those, but it's an inkjet [03:50] 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] Well, it prints now! [04:03] Not sure about over the network, but I'm starting to annoy the family with loud printer noises at 11PM === max_ is now known as Guest62691 === max12345 is now known as Guest783 === Guest62691 is now known as max12345 [10:14] Hello.

I want to report bug. [13:50] if you're on the desktop, open a terminal and ubuntu-bug ubiquity [13:51] Ok, ty. [14:03] 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] Hello everybody [14:13] i have a quick question [14:14] do someone know the terminal command to restart xfce ? [14:14] it should be something like : xfcew --replace [14:14] the panel? [14:14] no i mean to replace it [14:14] !panels [14:14] Did your panels disappear? Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel | See also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels | Want to theme your panels? See http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/howto-set-a-background-image-for-your-panel/ [14:15] xfce4-panelit seems to have crashed on my computer, [14:15] sorry [14:16] in fact my interface dosent work [14:16] i think i need to do a --replace [14:16] to kick out compiz [14:17] Ow its okay i found, i just had to do a compiz --replace, sorry guys and thanks for your help === koegs_ is now known as koegs === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash === PaulW2U_ is now known as PaulW2U [17:32] 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] i set static ip's and refer to ip, when i want things to be persistent like that [18:17] 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] lopta: same image [18:20] elfy: Thanks, just dd it onto a flash stick then? [18:22] if that's how you like to do it :) [18:32] elfy: Mostly because I've run out of blank DVDs at the office. [18:35] 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] lopta: ^^ [18:36] I use dd every day ;-) [18:36] however given the choice between using DVD and USB I would use USB every time now :) [18:36] lopta: :) [18:36] I have to wait for the ISO to download before I can try it though. [18:37] yea that can be a pain for some, pretty quick here [18:50] elfy: Thanks [20:14] does this already fixed in vivid? --> https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/issues/26 [20:14] "Add blueman-sendto to Send To menu of Thunar file manager" [20:14] cool feature to have out-of-box in the system [20:22] sergio-br2: no [20:22] the work flow to send files with bluetooth is pretty hard... [20:24] 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] with pictures, you have to match exactly the same name as it appears in ristretto... and you have dozen of "IMG_0xxx" [20:26] i guess ristretto could use some "sharing" features (stuff like flickr) and also bluetooth [20:26] i'd say feel free to submit patches ;) [20:26] :p [20:26] Hello [20:27] hello astraL [20:27] and evening sergio-br2 ochosi brainwash :) [20:27] ristretto could use some bug fixes first [20:27] hi elfy [20:27] actually a few bugs were fixed recently in git [20:27] that's good news [20:27] good evening [20:28] but yeah, it needs a new maintainer, generally speaking [20:28] Iam trying to install xubuntu 14.04 on a partition, i tryed for one week now and i still cant [20:29] 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] Can do nothing at all, no commads' no terminal''' [20:29] And my searchs on google didn,t help me at all [20:30] Im desesperate, and this is my last try, after that i give up linux... [20:32] 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] Any idea what could it be ? [20:33] Looks like my computer is just allergic on xubuntu [20:33] My install worked on other pc's, the problem is only on mine pc [20:38] hi [20:39] elfy: i think you should just repost your question until you get answers :p [20:39] 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] asraL: try to answer elfy's questions, otherwise we can't really help you [20:40] my xubuntu freeze at the login screen after 5-10 secs [20:40] if i press any key on my keyboard it freeze immediatly [20:40] 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] im installing it at the side of my windows 7 [20:41] im installing from a live non persistent usb key [20:42] and my installation is perfect since it worked on many other comouters [20:42] do you mean that the usb has installed properly elsewhere? [20:44] (the *same* usb key) [20:45] asraL: try opening a terminal Ctrl+T then run [20:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10097576/ [20:46] /exec -o inxi -F | pastebinit [20:46] and you can safely ignore my paste :D
