[01:07] <korrigan1> any wireless gurus around?
[01:07] <knome> why not ask the real question and find out?
[01:07] <korrigan1> I'm facing a issue with my wireless card in my xubuntu
[01:08] <korrigan1> I can have a functional wired connection but not wireless
[01:09] <korrigan1> here's my specs http://paste.ubuntu.com/10179683/
[01:09] <holstein> !wifi
[01:09] <korrigan1> already saw those holstein
[01:09] <holstein> i follow that, and i use lspci, lsusb, ifconfig to see what exactly my hardware is doing
[01:10] <holstein> korrigan1: sure.. and?
[01:10] <holstein> for me, i follow this.. i test, in a known good, and known supported operating system, to make sure the hardware is capable of working.. then, i move on to seeing if it supports linux
[01:10] <korrigan1> following the wiki info I installed the firmware/b43/installer
[01:10] <holstein> !broadcom
[01:11] <korrigan1> yes, saw that one also
[01:11] <holstein> personally, i'll just pull those out, if i have issues with them, and replace them
[01:11] <holstein> depending on the model, they can be problematic when trying to use them with linux
[01:12] <holstein> theres no "magic bullet", though.. no linux wifi guru that can write you a driver for it.. sometimes, things dont support linux
[01:12] <korrigan1> currently this is what I have:
[01:12] <korrigan1> lsmod | grep -e b43 -e wl b43                   398950  0  bcma                   46583  1 b43 mac80211              580709  1 b43 wl                   6148792  0  cfg80211              433826  3 wl,b43,mac80211 ssb                    55983  2 b43,ssb_hcd
[01:12] <korrigan1> bad format
[01:13] <holstein> for me, i'll grab different live iso's, different kernel versions, etc.. and if i can make it work, i'll note the kernel version and modules in use, and other relevant information
[01:13] <holstein> korrigan1: are you sure the device is working? if so, how? it works in windows? or an officially supported OS?
[01:13] <holstein> otherwise, you may just think you have a driver issue, when, in fact the hardware could be broken
[01:14] <korrigan1> yers, it's working
[01:14] <holstein> also, i would try 14.04 ..not 15.05
[01:14] <korrigan1> in windos
[01:14] <holstein> 15.04*
[01:14] <korrigan1> the kernel is 3.18.0-13-generic
[01:14] <holstein> try the 14.04 live iso.. add what is suggested at the wiki for your device
[01:14] <korrigan1> ok I'll try it
[01:15] <korrigan1> thanks for the suggestion
[01:30] <NEI4U2K> hi, i purged unity last night and installed xfce last night. It works fine for first time booting. but it goes into black screen after lid-close suspend and login.
[01:30] <NEI4U2K> how do i fix this?
[01:34] <holstein> but, it was fine in main ubuntu?
[01:34] <holstein> NEI4U2K: are you using xubuntu now? or did you literally just install xfce4?
[02:16] <dunpeal> Hi. I somehow got into a weird state on my Xubuntu box, that the GUI is "zoomed in": I can only see a part of the entire screen, which changes as I move my mouse. How do I revert it?
[03:16] <bluesabre> somebody could have answered that one
[03:16] <holstein> bluesabre: ?
[03:16] <holstein> bluesabre: i didnt see you post a question...
[03:16] <bluesabre> oh, not mine
[03:16] <bluesabre> :)
[03:16] <bluesabre> [21:16:46] <dunpeal> Hi. I somehow got into a weird state on my Xubuntu box, that the GUI is "zoomed in": I can only see a part of the entire screen, which changes as I move my mouse. How do I revert it?
[03:16] <bluesabre> alt+scroll-wheel for the curious
[03:17] <holstein> go for it
[03:17] <Unit193> bluesabre: Er, yeah.. Missed it.  I'd snagged one before.
[03:17]  * bluesabre wasn't paying attention either
[03:17] <bluesabre> I got excited when I saw an easy one, then sad when I saw he already left
[09:25] <XATRIX> Hi, how can i lock the screen ?
[09:25] <XATRIX> I have no xlock app here
[09:26] <XATRIX> Also, CTRL+ALT+DEL  - it's too long operation
[10:20] <xubuntu51f> hey everyone
[10:21] <xubuntu51f> as I understand Xubuntu 15.04 won't have network manager applet
[10:21] <xubuntu51f> can anyone explain me what will be replacing it?
[10:21] <cfhowlett> !vivid | xubuntu51f
[10:22] <xubuntu51f> cfhowlett, does that mean that I should ask something about xubuntu in a ubuntu channel?
[10:22] <cfhowlett> xubuntu51f, your question referenced 15.04.  NOT supported here as not released.  ask in #ubuntu+1
[10:23] <xubuntu51f> cfhowlett, so is it fair to assume that ubuntu will also be replacing their network manager?
[10:24] <cfhowlett> xubuntu51f, your question referenced 15.04.  NOT supported here as not released.  ask in #ubuntu+1
[10:25] <xubuntu51f> ok, cfhowlett. Can you at least tell me if ubuntu always has used the some network manager as xubuntu (at least until 14.04)?
[10:26] <cfhowlett> always?  no, it changed but I can't tell you what version.  sorry.
[10:26] <xubuntu51f> ok, thank you anyway
[12:05] <Cold_Inz> Greetings, I was wondering if I could receive some tips and info about XFCE4 on laptops. I'm intermedium(?) in use of Linux and ubuntu. The problem is that the system seems to sometimes hang, lag abit, and when not used in a while, programs take some time to startup, no matter how light they are(I set down the use of swap from 60 to 10, since I have 1024ram), and it helped, but still not desirable. Also running pipelight on firefox, wich runs
[12:05] <Cold_Inz>  "quite" nice, but slight stutter in fullscreen. The laptop is a Dell Latitude D620. Anyone got any tips?
[12:06] <Cold_Inz> I've run KDE earlier, but it hogged alot of resources. In XFCE4, I can't really see anything hogging resources, other than pipelight when it's running, it's taking all the cpu(can this be fixed?)
[12:09] <knome> there's nothing xubuntu can do about pipelight using all your resources
[12:09] <Cold_Inz> Yeah, I thought so, figured I'd ask anyways
[13:18] <bam_> Hi, I have a question regarding installation of mrouted on Xubuntu 14 on ARM
[13:19] <bam_> Just looking for "mrouted" in Ubuntu Software Center gets me no results.
[13:20] <bam_> Do I have to add more repositories (other, or older)?
[13:20] <bam_> I surely wouldn't have to compile from source, would I?
[13:21] <elfy> bam_: if it's not in the repos then yes - unless there happens to be a ppa
[13:22] <bam_> I don't know too much about repos... through google I find some 'index' pages from which it seems that it must be out there somewhere.
[13:22] <bam_> example:
[13:22] <bam_> http://archive.debian.net/potato/arm/mrouted/filelist
[13:23] <bam_> or: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/m/mrouted/
[13:24] <elfy> yes - no idea about the debian, but that ubuntu is unsupported
[13:24] <elfy> https://www.openhub.net/p/mrouted/
[13:24] <elfy> seems to be there
[13:24] <cfhowlett> elfy, 2004 ...
[13:24] <elfy> https://github.com/troglobit/mrouted/releases
[13:25] <elfy> cfhowlett: fairly dated then ...
[13:25] <elfy> bam_: those openhub links look better - but where you'd get support I don't know
[13:26] <bam_> thanks elfy for your reactions. You mean that I should take the source from there, and then compile on my target machine?
[13:27] <elfy> there is a deb at the second link for 64bit - other than I would guess so - best I can do I'm afraid :)
[13:27] <elfy> good luck
[13:28] <bam_> OK, I'll give it a try. Thanks
[13:32] <spierce> don't believe this is specifically xubuntu, but my left ALT key is mapped somehow squirrelly and won't cycle apps or responded to shortcuts like the right alt key does?  I believe it is somehow mapped to the compose key but nothing I've done has been able to get it to respond as a normal ol' left alt key.
[13:54] <bam_> elfy, thanks for your help. Compiling from source gave an error because yacc wasn't installed. Also this was not in Ubuntu Software Center, but "apt-get install byacc flex" did the job. I've now got a working mrouted.
[14:19] <elfy> bam_: nice - and you're welcome
[14:48] <lopta> I'm debating whether to use Xubuntu for my new work desktop.
[14:48] <lopta> Has its bash been patched?
[14:48] <Pici> patched?
[14:49] <cfhowlett> bash?
[14:49] <lopta> I know that's one of the questions the IT people will ask me.
[14:49] <cfhowlett> what's wrong with bash?
[14:49] <lopta> cfhowlett: If it doesn't ship with bash, that's great. :-)
[14:50] <Pici> Yes, bash is the default shell.
[14:50] <lopta> Ah, ok.
[14:50] <Pici> Are you asking about a patch for a specific CVE?
[14:51]  * lopta checks his email
[14:52] <lopta> Something called "ShellShock", apparently. It mentions CVE-2014-6271, 7169, 7186, 7187, 6277 and 6278
[14:52] <lopta> Thanks ubottu
[15:01] <Pici> lopta: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2380-1/
[15:02] <lopta> Pici: That looks encouraging. Thanks!
[17:26] <timvisher> is there any way to lock the screen with a hot corner in xfce4?
[17:26] <timvisher> i don't even know if that's the right question. i'm usually on a mac
[17:26] <holstein> there are many ways to lock the screen.. you want to just hover in a corner and lock it?
[17:27] <timvisher> yes. preferably if i move the mouse into any of the 4 corners the screen should lock
[17:27] <ochosi> timvisher: i guess you could try with something like "brightside
[17:28] <ochosi> ehm, "brightside". ideally it'll be available in your distro's software repositories
[17:28] <timvisher> i thought brightside had gnome deps
[17:28] <ochosi> i haven't used it personally though
[17:29] <ochosi> just some gnome2 librarie
[17:29] <ochosi> s
[17:30] <holstein> gnome and xfce are gtk..
[17:30] <holstein> if you want *only* xfce, just use xfce "as-is"... if you seek to add functionality, you'll need to add software
[17:48] <timvisher> holstein: i don't have any philosophical issue with gnome, i just thought that it and xfce didn't like to share the same sandbox
[17:49] <holstein> timvisher: you should be able to add repo applications with no issues
[17:50] <holstein> timvisher: in many cases, i will either load up a live iso, or an installation in VM, or on another machine, and try applying and testing settings and applications
[17:50] <timvisher> holstein: makes sense. i'll look into doing that
[17:50] <holstein> no doubt, you can implent that hot-cornering you want..  but, its not something that will be a simple "click and do" in xfce
[17:51] <timvisher> cool. that's what i wanted to know
[17:53] <holstein> timvisher: i would start here.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2218063
[17:53] <holstein> i would read the entire thread. there is good explanations for the risks, and a few different ideas
[18:53] <voodoox> hi guys
[19:57] <Nixus> hey
[20:12] <ObrienDave> Greetings & Welcome
[20:17] <ankan_> Hi guys! I'm on a ASUS UX302LG and looking to get things started with Xubuntu. Is anyone running Xubuntu on a zenbook?
[20:19] <xangua> you would first need to download xubuntu and try it yourself
[20:20] <ochosi> ankan_: you could also google around a bit
[20:20] <ankan_> yeah well I've found alot of stuff concercing ubuntu, can the same methods/information be applied with Xubuntu?
[20:21] <ochosi> depends a bit, but in general yes
[20:22] <ankan_> I'm soft of paranoid since this is a brand new laptop.. Trying to convince myself I can handle it lol
[20:22] <ankan_> sort of*
[20:25] <ochosi> i think really breaking it would mean dropping it on the floor
[20:29] <ankan_> well hopefully thats not gonna happen, although I've never really explored my BIOS so really anything is possible
[20:45] <Nixus> hola
[20:46] <Nixus> cualquiera
[20:49] <knome> Nixus, english only please.
[20:50] <Nixus> aquieria?
[20:50] <elfy> !es | Nixus
[20:52] <Nixus> okay
[21:21] <ankan_> ok so now I created a live USB with Xubuntu on it, edited some in the BIOS and got the menu where I could choose "Try Xubunt, Install Xubunt.. and so on"
[21:22] <ankan_> but when I clicked "Try Xubuntu without installing" my screen was just black with some dim light at the bottom for a minute..
