|---|---|---|
| Christoffer | Good morning | 05:48 |
| allstarsnorks2 | Hey there | 05:48 |
| Christoffer | When I try to boot into xubuntu with two new displays I get no output to the screens, it's dual full-hd. | 05:49 |
| Christoffer | the loading screen and decryption of /home I can see | 05:49 |
| Christoffer | but I think it is the greeter that fails this high resolution | 05:49 |
| Christoffer | is it lightdm in xubuntu 14.04? | 05:49 |
| allstarsnorks2 | How do I install GTK 3.12 on Xubuntu 14.04? | 05:57 |
| Unit193 | Christoffer: Right, lightdm with lightdm-gtk-greeter. | 06:00 |
| allstarsnorks2 | Is there a way to update GTK 3.10 to GTK 3.12 in Xubuntu | 06:03 |

| dudebro | hey guys, what is the best way to add a startup scripts in xfce4? | 14:54 |
| dudebro | i have been trying to run some xinput commands to start on my session but cant get it to work | 14:54 |
| Sumitabha | I'm running Xubuntu 14.04 | 15:04 |
| Sumitabha | And my OS is running really slow. It's freezing my PC, and making things run really slow | 15:05 |
| Sumitabha | Everything is loading really slow | 15:05 |
| Sumitabha | Is there a way to run a diagnostic test using my Xubuntu 14.04 live CD? | 15:07 |
| elfy | Sumitabha: open a terminal and run top - see what's going on there to start with | 15:13 |
| Sumitabha | Run top? | 15:14 |
| Sumitabha | Elfy, could you give me a command to run top? | 15:14 |
| elfy | open the terminal, type top and then press enter :) | 15:15 |
| Sumitabha | ok | 15:15 |
| Sumitabha | what am I looking for? | 15:15 |
| Sumitabha | 140 tasks | 15:16 |
| Sumitabha | 138 sleeping | 15:16 |
| elfy | down - below the top 4 or 5 lines | 15:17 |
| xubuntu27w | I am having a problem with my archive manager. After each time of downloading software i.e AVG, musicloader, the message pops up after opening the file "error. archive manager can not load" How do I fix the archive manager? | 15:17 |
| Sumitabha | PID 4955 | 15:18 |
| Sumitabha | I'm running a live CD, so things should be normal, right? | 15:18 |
| elfy | oh | 15:18 |
| Alexfrench | maybe a bad source location ?? | 15:18 |
| Sumitabha | the computer is not freezing and loading slow, like when I was running from the hard drive | 15:19 |
| Sumitabha | the problems started with Chromium | 15:19 |
| elfy | Sumitabha: you need to be looking in the install rather than the livecd - but just for now, ram? cpu? graphics card? | 15:20 |
| Sumitabha | 1.4 GB of RAM | 15:20 |
| Sumitabha | I think the capacity is 2 GB, though | 15:20 |
| Sumitabha | I'm pretty sure the problem is software related | 15:20 |
| elfy | Sumitabha: actually what version of Xubuntu is it? | 15:20 |
| Sumitabha | 14.04 | 15:21 |
| elfy | ok | 15:21 |
| Sumitabha | Because when I had closed Chromium the short constant wines stopped and everything speeded up | 15:21 |
| Sumitabha | But the problems returned when I ran updates and was installing them | 15:21 |
| elfy | mmm | 15:22 |
| Sumitabha | And when I shut off the PC, it took like over 5 min to shut off | 15:22 |
| Sumitabha | It took over 5 min to boot up | 15:22 |
| Sumitabha | actually more like 10 min | 15:22 |
| elfy | possibly issues with the hard drive | 15:22 |
| Sumitabha | never had any hardware issues before | 15:23 |
| AgAu | well you don't till you do :P | 15:23 |
| Sumitabha | I tested the hard drive a couple months ago and it looked really good | 15:23 |
| Sumitabha | the hard drive is working fine now | 15:23 |
| elfy | Sumitabha: ok - boot into it again - then we can have a look in the logs to see if there's anything there | 15:23 |
| Sumitabha | But I had problems with Google Chrome, and had to uninstall it. google chrome had crashed | 15:24 |
| Sumitabha | so did Chromium | 15:24 |
| Sumitabha | It will take a long time to boot into my regular OS and I don't have an IRC account | 15:25 |
| Sumitabha | I'm using xChat now | 15:26 |
| Sumitabha | I think I'll have to do this on my own | 15:26 |
| elfy | yea - well just access us via the webchat link in http://xubuntu.org/help/ | 15:26 |
| Sumitabha | ok, I'll try | 15:27 |
| elfy | doesn't matter how long it takes to boot - people will be about in here still :) | 15:27 |
| Sumitabha | Oh, you want to see the Ubuntu crash logs? | 15:29 |
| elfy | yes | 15:29 |
| elfy | sort of anyway - you could pastebin them from livecd | 15:29 |
| Sumitabha | I had already pastebined them | 15:29 |
| elfy | Sumitabha: where? | 15:40 |
| Sumitabha | I need to paste them again | 15:41 |
| elfy | if it was fairly recent the urls will be good still | 15:42 |
| xubuntu27w | I have xubuntu 14.04 and after I have downloaded software and open the file the same message appears "error. there was a problem loading with the archive manager" How do I fix this? | 15:56 |
| xubuntu27w | I have attempted to download from several different sources with the same result | 15:56 |
| knome | xubuntu27w, what is it you are trying to download? is that not available in the repositories? | 15:57 |
| Sumitabha | I found the crash logs from the first crash | 16:03 |
| Sumitabha | the Chrome crash | 16:03 |
| Sumitabha | But I can't find the crash logs from the second crash | 16:03 |
| Sumitabha | the most recent crash with Chromium | 16:03 |
| Sumitabha | http://imgur.com/a/9ZA41 | 16:05 |
| Sumitabha | those logs are from the first crash | 16:05 |
| Sumitabha | elfy? | 16:20 |
| Sumitabha | I posted the crash logs from my second crash | 16:20 |
| Sumitabha | http://imgur.com/a/EKJdB | 16:20 |
| Sumitabha | Oh yeah, I should say Elfy | 16:21 |
| Sumitabha | elfy I mean | 16:21 |
| Sumitabha | I'm running a fully updated Xubuntu 14.04 OS on my HP dx5150 SFF desktop PC | 16:23 |
| Sumitabha | Everything was working pretty well for the last 6 months, and I was running Firefox and Google Chrome browsers without any problems. Until Google Chrome recently crashed | 16:25 |
| Sumitabha | I got help uninstalling Google Chrome and then installed Chromium browser recently. Afterwards, Chromium appeared to be working fine | 16:27 |
| Akusari | On my thinkpad, well, i had some chrome issues too (crashes and window heat drawing bugs) but since xserver-lts-utopic everything runs fine | 16:32 |
| Sumitabha | But later, I went to the BBC.com news website and it was working until I tried to play a video link. None of the video links were working. They all said “Download Flash Player now” in the video boxes. | 16:33 |
| Sumitabha | So, I realized I probably didn't have any plugins installed. So I went browsing for Silverlight, and tried to install it, but I couldn't seem to install it. Then I read that Silverlight is not supported by Chromium. | 16:33 |
| Sumitabha | So, then I installed Adobe Flash. And right after I installed it, my computer really slowed down and almost froze. | 16:33 |
| elfy | Sumitabha: sorry - was afk | 16:33 |
| Sumitabha | that's ok | 16:34 |
| Sumitabha | So, I checked all my Chromium plugins and realized that Silverlight was installed, and Flash was also installed, and they were both active at the same time. Did that cause the crash? | 16:34 |
| Sumitabha | I think something more serious is troubling my OS | 16:34 |
| elfy | Sumitabha: to see what might be causing slow boot. we'll need to some logs from /var/log/ - dmesg and syslog would be a good start | 16:35 |
| Sumitabha | I can do that from the live CD? | 16:35 |
| Sumitabha | You want me to mount the hard drive, or is that asking for trouble when using a live CD? | 16:36 |
| elfy | should be ok | 16:37 |
| elfy | mount it somewhere then you can pastebin them | 16:37 |
| Akusari | sumitabha: do you have such error messages like this in /var/log/kern* ? : Homer-Mobil kernel: [24347.052181] Watchdog[2961]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f18fbb58756 sp 00007f18eb106770 error 6 in chrome[7f18f7e69000+510c000] | 16:38 |
| elfy | Sumitabha: I'm likely to go quiet - right in the middle of trusty .2 release stuff for one | 16:38 |
| Sumitabha | for how long? | 16:39 |
| elfy | anyone should be able to help you decipher what's hanging | 16:39 |
| Sumitabha | ok, thanks | 16:39 |
| Sumitabha | what is the command to open that directory? | 16:41 |
| Akusari | cat /var/log/kern.log |grep -i chrom | 16:42 |
| Sumitabha | Note I'm running a live CD | 16:43 |
| Sumitabha | I ran that command, and it just gave me back the command prompt | 16:44 |
| Akusari | ohhh, well you need to mount filesystem anyway | 16:44 |
| Sumitabha | I mounted the hard drive | 16:44 |
| Sumitabha | How do I mount the file system? | 16:45 |
| Sumitabha | My hard drive is located at media/xubuntu | 16:47 |
| Sumitabha | sorry, no, that's my external drive | 16:48 |
| Akusari | we need the kernel devices first | 16:49 |
| Akusari | like /dev/sda or so | 16:49 |
| Akusari | may try this to list them: dmesg |egrep -i '(sda|sdb|sdc)' | 16:50 |
| Sumitabha | Permission ddenied | 16:50 |
| Sumitabha | Sudo....command not found | 16:50 |
| Akusari | dmesg |egrep -i '(sda|sdb|sdc)' | 16:50 |
| Akusari | no need for sudo in this case | 16:51 |
| Sumitabha | oh, it worked | 16:51 |
| Akusari | if you know your root/var partition we can do a mount | 16:52 |
| Sumitabha | there is no evidence of the error hallmarks you showed above | 16:53 |
| Sumitabha | I know my root home, I think | 16:54 |
| elfy | Sumitabha: cat /path/to/instal/var/log/dmesg |pastebinit | 16:55 |
| elfy | then the same for syslog | 16:55 |
| elfy | then give people the url's - then give people time to look | 16:55 |
| Sumitabha | paste what my console shows? | 16:56 |
| Sumitabha | path? | 16:56 |
| Sumitabha | is path the actual word I should write? | 16:56 |
| elfy | no | 16:57 |
| Sumitabha | ok, I see | 16:57 |
| elfy | path will be wherever you mounted it | 16:57 |
| Sumitabha | its mounted at media/xubuntu | 16:58 |
| Sumitabha | but my root directory used my name when I was running it off the hard drive | 16:58 |
| elfy | then cat /media/xubuntu/var/log/dmesg | pastebinit | 16:58 |
| Sumitabha | ok | 16:58 |
| Sumitabha | No such file or directory | 16:59 |
| Sumitabha | You are trying to send an empty doc, exiting | 16:59 |
| Akusari | try this command and copy the output in this chat: | 17:02 |
| Akusari | mount |grep -i media | 17:02 |
| Sumitabha | /dev/sdb1 on /media/xubuntu/VANTEC500 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) | 17:04 |
| Sumitabha | /dev/sda1 on /media/xubuntu/1f7a558d-8937-4f2f-9305-5f136e7713ac type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2) | 17:04 |
| Sumitabha | xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ | 17:04 |
| Sumitabha | Vantec is the external drive | 17:04 |
| Sumitabha | sda1 is the big 500 GB hard drive with my OS on it | 17:04 |
| Sumitabha | sdb1 is Vantec500 | 17:05 |
| Sumitabha | both drives are 500 GB | 17:05 |
| Akusari | so i guess elfy want the os data | 17:06 |
| Sumitabha | Give me a command for the OS data you want, if you please | 17:06 |
| Akusari | that would be: cat /media/xubuntu/1f7a558d-8937-4f2f-9305-5f136e7713ac/var/log/dmesg | pastebinit | 17:07 |
| Sumitabha | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10310749/ | 17:09 |
| Akusari | yeah, so it's elfy time :-) | 17:10 |
| Sumitabha | wow, that's a lot of info | 17:12 |
| Akusari | I need more experince to evaluate this kind of data | 17:12 |
| Sumitabha | elfy must be an expert | 17:13 |
| Akusari | Maybe i could, but elfy is better for sure :-) | 17:13 |
| Sumitabha | Is your name Japanese? | 17:15 |
| Akusari | I'm pretty new here, i have no glue | 17:15 |
| Akusari | oops, you mean myself | 17:15 |
| Akusari | yes | 17:15 |
| Sumitabha | that's cool. I love Japan animes | 17:16 |
| Akusari | yeah, that the background behind it :) | 17:16 |
| Sumitabha | the name of the director? | 17:17 |
| Akusari | no, i think this name is created by myself. This name comes in my mind while i'm wachting hikaru no go | 17:17 |
| Sumitabha | I don't have plugins installed here, so can't search that, I think | 17:18 |
| Sumitabha | I just installed HTML5 | 17:20 |
| Sumitabha | oh, damn | 17:22 |
| Sumitabha | I should not be doing that, because I mounted my hard drive | 17:23 |
| Sumitabha | the installation went to the wrong place? | 17:24 |
| Sumitabha | After I installed HTML5 the plugin did not show up in my Firefox Browser | 17:24 |
| Sumitabha | oh crap, my external drive is overheating | 17:26 |
| Sumitabha | I had to turn it off | 17:26 |
| Sumitabha | it's 28 C in here | 17:27 |
| Sumitabha | and the hard drive felt like about 75 C | 17:27 |
| Akusari | i'm sorry, but i must leave now. i'm still not at home ;-) I think elfy or someone else will help you anyway :-) | 17:27 |
| Sumitabha | thanks Akusari | 17:27 |
| Sumitabha | have a good day | 17:28 |
| Sumitabha | elfy ? | 17:42 |
| elfy | Sumitabha: hi - as I said, I'm tied up with lots of things currently - constant pinging me is not helping | 17:43 |
| Sumitabha | sorry | 17:43 |
| elfy | your slow boot issue could also be looked at in #ubuntu - many many more people looking, perhaps try there - you have the pastebin output | 17:44 |
| Sumitabha | ok | 17:44 |
| Sumitabha | thanks for your help | 17:45 |
| elfy | but - quickly it looks like usb slowing boot at line 623,631,639 etc | 17:46 |
| Sumitabha | My USB stick is not even hooked up to my PC | 17:49 |
| Sumitabha | Which error log is that from? From the Chrome or the Chromium crash? | 17:50 |
| elfy | it's the dmesg output - you can see in there where the time halts are | 17:51 |
| elfy | anyway as I said - try #ubuntu - more people - good luck | 17:51 |
| Sumitabha | oh, this could be related to my external drive overheating? | 17:51 |
| Sumitabha | ok | 17:51 |

| argoneus | hello | 20:18 |
| argoneus | does anyone here virtualize xubuntu using virtualbox? | 20:18 |
| argoneus | I'm wondering if it's normal to have a slight input lag, and choppy movement when moving windows, etc, I already installed guest additions | 20:18 |
| holstein | argoneus: i would expect that with virtualization in general | 20:19 |
| Akusari | well, i'm using vmware for my virtual tasks :-) | 20:42 |

| holstein | xubuntu35w: i would look into my GPU.. i would see if i can get the desktop looking "right" with the live iso. i would research proprietary drivers | 23:40 |

| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 23:40 |
| xubuntu35w | Ok thanks for your help I will try those | 23:41 |
