| SirRochefort_ | Krytarik, thanks a lot. Seems I just dragged from the wrong area of it before. | 02:59 |
| blue-thunder | hello | 08:07 |

| bekks | blue-thunder: Whats the output of "lspci"? Pastebin it please, and provide the URL. | 08:08 |
| blue-thunder | http://pastebin.com/amMffeYX | 08:09 |
| bekks | blue-thunder: Line 2 states that you have GPU built into your CPU, and no other GPU. | 08:10 |
| blue-thunder | great time to buy a radeon.... | 08:10 |
| bekks | Really? Better buy a nvidia :) | 08:11 |
| blue-thunder | which has better open source driver support amd radeon or nvidia geforce? | 08:11 |
| bekks | Nvidia. | 08:11 |
| blue-thunder | how can i setup open vpn? (sorry if i sound like a noob) | 08:13 |
| bekks | I guess you want to use a vpn client, like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient | 08:14 |

| xubuntu03w | After a recent update all of my desktop icons moved to the left monitor. I can place them anywhere on the left monitor but I can not move them to the right monitor. | 15:07 |
| Akusari | hello | 15:18 |
| Akusari | I think i have a problem with my trash. If i'm delete a file in my own home directory, a window comes up and ask me if i really want delete this file persistently. The trash is empty of course. | 15:24 |
| Akusari | Probably my trash is disabled somewhere. Where are trash settings in this case ? Or maybe there is a missing trash directory ? unfourtantly i don't know the path | 15:25 |
| Akusari | oh well, using xubuntu 14.04.2 with thunar 1.65 | 15:26 |
| Akusari | ok, found it, my fault (as usual ;-) | 15:39 |
| Weimar1919 | so! thinking of buying a lenovo machine *cringe, i know* ...probably gonna nuke it and reinstall win, dual boot xubuntu...would that be enough to get rid of anything remotely fishy? | 15:51 |
| nomic | run windows inside xubuntu, therefor isolating the nastiness | 15:51 |
| nomic | quaranteening it | 15:51 |
| Akusari | i have a thinkpad and windows runs in a virtual machine if i need it. That's a good solution. :-) | 16:00 |
| nomic | if you need network - set it up with "bridged adapter" - then you get an ip address for the machine .. also you can set it up so it accesses usb ports | 16:00 |
| nomic | easily | 16:01 |
| brownfaux | So I logged on to my xubuntu machine today and the ubuntu software center has just up and vanished... thoughts? | 17:11 |
| georgio | hello everyone | 17:17 |
| knome | hello | 17:17 |
| knome | brownfaux, vanished in what way? | 17:17 |
| brownfaux | like it was in my applications and now it just isnt | 17:20 |
| knome | brownfaux, did you upgrade your system or applications before it disappeared? | 17:20 |
| slickymasterWork | brownfaux, what output do you get if you run in a terminal window: software-center | 17:21 |
| brownfaux | ya know... I do think it auto updated | 17:21 |
| brownfaux | says it isn't currently installed | 17:21 |
| brownfaux | i guess I'll just reinstall it | 17:21 |
| georgio | Hi, I`m having a problem with my sound in Xubuntu 14.10 what happens is that I changed my "Built-in audio profile " in the volume control settings to "Digital stereo (IEC958)" and now my headphone stop work T_T .

| minter | hi all | 18:35 |
| minter | i need help | 18:35 |
| minter | but its not about xubuntu | 18:35 |
| minter | its about linux mint | 18:36 |

| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 18:37 |
| rpp601 | hey guys, i can't specify my ip address because the save button is greyed out | 19:39 |
| rpp601 | xubuntu 14.10 | 19:40 |
| rpp601 | now i've done it. i read you could delete the config file to fix it. | 19:53 |
| rpp601 | which i thought was /etc/interfaces | 19:53 |
| rpp601 | anyone around? | 20:12 |
| nomic | sup rpp601 | 20:46 |
| phunyguy | Hey weird question.... got xubuntu 14.04 installed and pidgin shows up in the messaging menu applet, but it doesn't seem to be functional. there is nothing next to the entry saying it is running, and closing pidgin actually closes it. I remember this working when I tried xubuntu last time.... any ideas? | 21:28 |
| phunyguy | nevermind.... figured it out. I had disabled libnotify popups | 21:35 |
| phunyguy | apparently that disables the messaging menu integration! | 21:35 |
| Unit193 | I had an issue with that once as well. | 21:39 |
| BBLLCC | hi, how do I get a list of all my unauthenticated sources? I cannot install anything | 21:43 |
| holstein | BBLLCC: you mean, ppa's? unsupported sources? | 22:16 |
| holstein | BBLLCC: i'll just use the GUI, and look at the sources.. you can find that in the menu.. though, you can poke around in /etc/apt if you prefer https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine | 22:17 |
| holstein | i'll just run "sudo apt-get update" and troubleshoot messages til that works without error.. then, do the same for "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 22:18 |
| rpp601 | nomic, i screwed up my install... after i'm done re-installing i'll need help getting the static ip address set up. i can't seem to do it right. | 22:28 |
| rpp601 | bbiab :) | 22:28 |
| holstein | rpp601: in the menu, in the network manager. the GUI. thats where i first address it | 22:29 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/7079/how-do-you-configure-desktop-for-a-static-ip-address | 22:29 |
| holstein | shows both.. | 22:29 |
| rpp601 | holstein: the 'save' option is greyed out | 22:31 |
| holstein | rpp601: i dont recall clicking "save".. i just set the settings | 22:31 |
| holstein | rpp601: you'll need to have a user with "permission" to do so | 22:31 |
| rpp601 | holstein: i logged in as root, option still says 'you must athenticate to save' | 22:32 |
| rpp601 | tried editing /etc/networking/interfaces to no avail | 22:32 |
| holstein | System --> Preferences --> Network Connections --> Auto eth0 --> edit --> IPV4 Settings --> Change it to Manual --> add ip, (something like 192.168.1.200 what you reservered above), netmask 255.255.255.0,, and router inside address for default route, (something like 192.168.1.1 what you used to log into it) --> Enter the DNS server addresses you recorded at the bottom of the window | 22:32 |
| holstein | rpp601: you shouldnt be logged in, or able to log in as root | 22:32 |
| holstein | !root | 22:33 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:33 |
| rpp601 | this is for a wireless adapter | 22:33 |
| holstein | sure | 22:33 |
| holstein | rpp601: i do it for the NIC i choose | 22:33 |
| holstein | rpp601: i literally did it twice this week | 22:33 |
| rpp601 | ok, i'll install, try it, and let you know | 22:33 |
| rpp601 | i've done it once this week too, on ubuntu. | 22:33 |
| holstein | rpp601: xubuntu *is* ubuntu | 22:33 |
| rpp601 | i know | 22:34 |
| rpp601 | that's why i'm here, and not there. | 22:34 |
| rpp601 | be back in a bit | 22:34 |
| holstein | rpp601: you are likely comparing different versions of ubuntu bases, like xubuntu 14.10 vs main ubuntu 14.04 | 22:34 |
| holstein | that can be a situation where, folks assume its ubuntu vx xubuntu, but, its typically more like a kernel driver or package change from 14.04 to 14.10.. etc | 22:34 |
| klopsi-u3 | hi, i am trying to install nvidia drivers for a gtx 970 on amd64 xubuntu 14.04 | 22:44 |
| holstein | !nvidia | 22:44 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 22:44 |
| klopsi-u3 | thanks | 22:44 |
| holstein | klopsi-u3: i would try the open ones, then, the supported ones in the repos.. then, i would try the ones nvidia provides, if those dont work, after checking to see if they are newer | 22:45 |
| holstein | klopsi-u3: i'll typically just use whatever the GUI suggests, first.. and see if things are "ok".. and go from there, based on what i find in net searches about linux and the hardware | 22:45 |
| klopsi-u3 | i apt-get installed nvidia-331 but system is still using nouveau. i will read the link provided now | 22:45 |
| holstein | klopsi-u3: there is another step to it, AFAIK.. where, the nvidia config tool makes a config file | 22:46 |
| klopsi-u3 | yeah i made an xorg.conf but now i have 640x480 | 22:46 |
| holstein | klopsi-u3: it can be, that the package doesnt support your hardware.. though, if you are still using the open driver, it shoud be the same as before | 22:47 |
| klopsi-u3 | thanks holstein, i appreciate it | 22:55 |
| klopsi-u3 | holstein: do you know of people running steam on xubuntu? | 22:56 |
| rpp601 | ok, still there? | 23:08 |
| klopsi-u3 | who | 23:11 |
| rpp601 | holstein, you around buddy? | 23:17 |
| holstein | klopsi-u3: yes.. i run steam on xubuntu | 23:17 |
| holstein | klopsi-u3: there are ubuntu packages from steam.. xubuntu *is* ubuntu | 23:18 |
| holstein | rpp601: yes | 23:18 |
| klopsi-u3 | thanks holstein | 23:18 |
| rpp601 | holstein, ok, please paste what you said earlier, my log is gone. i'll follow your isntructions. | 23:18 |
| holstein | rpp601: http://askubuntu.com/questions/7079/how-do-you-configure-desktop-for-a-static-ip-address looks exactly how i would try it.. just in reverse | 23:19 |
| holstein | rpp601: i use the GUI.. i just click through the try icon til i see what i need/want | 23:19 |
| rpp601 | i'm trying to use the gui | 23:19 |
| rpp601 | settings > settings manager > network | 23:20 |
| rpp601 | network connections > click wifi connection > click edit > input my manual ip, subnet, etc ... can't click save | 23:20 |
| holstein | rpp601: what "save"? | 23:21 |
| rpp601 | hang on | 23:21 |
| holstein | rpp601: just input your settings.. | 23:21 |
| holstein | rpp601: i'll put in *all* the settings.. then, i right click, and disable networking, and again, right click and re-enable | 23:21 |
| holstein | then, i ping my gateway.. then, i ping google.com | 23:21 |
| rpp601 | well, it's fixed. but for future reference in case someone comes in and says this again... | 23:23 |
| klopsi-u3 | i bought a new graphics card, but windows wont boot and i need to test the card with some 3d graphics | 23:23 |
| rpp601 | http://imgur.com/k6fNTlt <-- that save button. it says save. | 23:23 |
| rpp601 | network connections > edit > *input* > save... i don't know what you were talking about using or why your installation has no save button but that's it. | 23:24 |
| holstein | rpp601: nothing was broken, though.. | 23:24 |
| rpp601 | not now... because for whatever reason that save button just became un-greyed out | 23:24 |
| holstein | rpp601: ? friend. i dont have it in front of me.. thats all.. i just follow the menu items as necessary, each time | 23:25 |
| === azeam_afk is now known as azeam | ||
| holstein | rpp601: likely, permissions.. since, you stated you logged in as "root", which, should not be possible | 23:25 |
| rpp601 | holstein, i logged in as root because i thought the same thing. that it was a permission based problem. and i understand you don't have it in front of you. | 23:26 |
| holstein | rpp601: you shouldnt have the ability to login as a root user like that.. so, likely, whatever you did to faciliate that is what could have caused your issue | 23:27 |
| rpp601 | doesn't matter anymore, after i re-installed i had the same issue... only when i went to take the screenshot and show you what i was talking about did it suddenly allow me to save those settings. | 23:28 |
| holstein | rpp601: you have to input all the settings required, as required | 23:28 |
| holstein | rpp601: if you have something put in incorrectly, the GUI will not let you apply something that is not going to work | 23:28 |
| holstein | could have been that simple.. anyways.. its over now, you got static IP.. enjoy | 23:29 |
