[02:45] <Demon_Jester> Hey guys was wondering if someone can help me out. I am running xubuntu as a temporary home server, and when I go to reboot it via SSH, it reboots but it leaves it at a blinking _ symbol at boot. Was wanting to know if there is a way around that with a different command?
[02:48] <knome> well, it might help if you told which command you are using now...
[03:13] <genii> try shutdown -r now
[03:48] <Demon_Jester> knome sorry I fell asleep, and realize I forgot to provide which command I used.
[04:10] <sergio-br2> heya
[04:10] <sergio-br2> weird behavior in guest session, after some time it locks, so if I enter again, it opens a new guest session
[04:11] <sergio-br2> first of all, why guest session locks?
[04:12] <sergio-br2> I borrowed my laptop to my family for 3 days, and when I returned it had dozen of guest sessions locked
[04:14] <sergio-br2> using 14.04
[04:18] <cfhowlett> sergio-br2, boot into your admin account and kill them
[04:19] <sergio-br2> I only want to know why you don't return to the previous guest section
[04:19] <sergio-br2> *you can't
[04:19] <sergio-br2> or, why lock screen is enabled by default in the guest section
[04:20] <sergio-br2> IHMO, it's wrong design
[04:21] <sergio-br2> I know how to enter in the admin account, other peoples don't (they even have the sudo password)
[04:22] <cfhowlett> sergio-br2, does seem weird.
[04:24] <sergio-br2> cfhowlett, it does not happen to you? What happens if you enter guest session and go to bathroom?
[04:25] <cfhowlett> sergio-br2, actually, I've disabled guest sessions.
[04:25] <cfhowlett> :)
[04:25] <cfhowlett> but I agree, that design might be implemented better
[04:28] <sergio-br2> I'm surprise that nobody noticed it, in a LTS version after 1 year of the release
[04:28] <sergio-br2> or someone noticed it, but it's hard to fix?
[04:29] <cfhowlett> sergio-br2, file a bug report on it?
[04:29] <holstein> !bug
[04:29] <sergio-br2> yeah, I know
[04:29] <sergio-br2> too lazy right now :p
[04:30] <holstein> i dont think its all that bad.. its still sanitizing the session.. and not granting sudo or anything
[04:30] <holstein> its strange that it cant just wake back up..
[04:31] <cfhowlett> holstein, and they survived a reboot ... scary
[04:31] <holstein> anyways, step one for me would be, a fresh install, and test.. then, get someone else to verify..
[04:32] <sergio-br2> I Ctrl+Alt+Fxx and I managed to see firefox and other programs open in many guest sections, for a short period of time
[04:32] <sergio-br2> cfhowlett, they didn't survived to reboot
[04:33] <cfhowlett> sergio-br2, AH!  good.
[04:33] <sergio-br2> my family has a habit of use suspend
[04:34] <sergio-br2> *use the suspend
[04:34] <holstein> sure.. maybe the suspend is what is breaking the session?
[04:35] <sergio-br2> I have a fresh install in other machine, will see it
[04:35] <holstein> shoud be a way to address that as well ,regardless
[04:35] <sergio-br2> nope, if you go to the bathroom, it'll lock the section
[04:35] <sergio-br2> suspend will lock as well
[04:36] <holstein> well, the session is set to lock
[04:36] <holstein> its not your bathroom habits that make that happen ;)
[04:36] <sergio-br2> :p
[04:36] <sergio-br2> you can go to kitchen too
[04:36] <sergio-br2> heh
[04:53] <sergio-br2> need to go
[04:53] <sergio-br2> thanks
[06:31] <wonky> HI all, I just installed Xubuntu-14.04.02-desktop-amd64, went well, updated then went to install GCC and it all went ugly, am having issues similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/1426069, what is the likely cause?
[06:32] <holstein> wonky: can you get your exact error message?

[09:53] <htqp> balance: I can save here on xubuntu 14.04
[09:54] <htqp> balance: ... using the 'nano filename' command in the terminal. what command are you using in the terminal?
[09:54] <balance> htqp, nothing just started it

[10:23] <intherye> Hi, since Firefox 36 links from external applications (e.g. clicking a link in Thunderbird) opens a new Firefox window, with my homepages, but not the desired link, instead of opening the URL in a new tab. Cause seems to be that the --remote option has been removed from Firefox 36. Is there any workaround or fix to get back the old behaviour?
[10:24] <elfy> intherye: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1425972
[10:27] <intherye> Thanks elfy! That was what I was searching for, but I was looking the bugs for Firefox package.
[10:27] <elfy> :)
[10:27] <elfy> two line edit fix
[10:38] <intherye> .. and works :-)
[10:38] <elfy> I know :p
[11:21] <xubuntu45w> hi
[11:22] <xubuntu45w> Xubuntu website has no - NOT ONE WORD - about color profiles.
[11:22] <xubuntu45w> There seem to be NO program installed to set color profiles.
[11:23] <xubuntu45w> I find diverse source in the internetz about this issue, but I would like to have one canonical source for this kind of information.
[11:24] <htqp> xubuntu45w: looking for this? https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/color-whatisprofile.html
[11:24] <xubuntu45w> Where do you see on this specific page any information that helps you setting up a color profile?
[11:25] <xubuntu45w> And where do you see the settings > color dialgo in XUBUNTU ???
[11:26] <xubuntu45w> You did not seem to get the problem here - "color profile" is not existing in xubuntu.
[11:27] <htqp> man, this is unpaid support from volunteers - first of all be polite and check your tone
[11:28] <xubuntu45w> sorry if you feel me being unpolite, I did not offend anybody, i asked questions.
[11:29] <xubuntu45w> on that page there is zero information about color profile in xubuntu
[11:29] <xubuntu45w> and the general problem is that color profile seems to be completely forgotten in xubuntu
[11:29] <xubuntu45w> I just checked on this and could not believe it. There are zero tools for color profile in xubuntu. like xubuntu devs have never heard of color profile anywhere.
[11:35] <bazhang> http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.tw/2014/03/how-to-set-display-color-profile-in.html
[11:35] <bazhang> ach quit
[11:36] <elfy> bazhang: yea - I'd just found that too
[11:37] <bazhang> elfy, seems pretty simple from what I read
[11:37] <elfy> yep
[11:37] <bazhang> even a pretty easy google
[11:37] <elfy> though I don't think they'd have been happy - still not on xubuntu.org :)
[11:39] <bazhang> hehe
[11:48] <user__> hello
[11:49] <user__> anyone can possibly help me solve this: can not use a usb inside virtualbox,i have extension pack installed and enabled the usb 2.0 in the settings
[11:51] <htqp> user__: ask in channel #virtualbox
[11:52] <htqp> user__: make sure the extension pack is same version as virtualobx
[11:52] <user__> it is same version and will do as you suggested on #virtualbox thank you htqp
[11:52] <bazhang> its #vbox
[11:54] <user__> thanks bazhang
[11:55] <htqp> oh yea thanks
[15:31] <user933> hello,what distro is considered most secure for linux? considering xubuntu vs mint vs debian
[15:31] <koegs> user933: asking this in the xubuntu support-channel...
[15:32] <htqp> they are equivalent, they share the same package base
[15:32] <koegs> user933: for a more general discussion #xubuntu-offtopic would suit better
[15:32] <user933> well still can get objective opinion but where would you suggest asking this htqp
[15:32] <user933> ok
[15:32] <user933> thanks
[17:05] <irgendwer4711> hi, how to put paramter in start menu entries for a program?
[19:28] <sohail-ahmed> My question is not related to xubuntu, therefore I am sorry if this offends somebody. how can I connect to oftc irc network, actually I have to use TOR channel
[19:28] <holstein> sohail-ahmed: http://www.oftc.net/
[19:32] <sohail-ahmed> hoisten,  I am sorry to say that I am coming from this website and all I have understood is that their IRC channel is on oftc network. What I have understood that at present I am writing in #xubuntu which is over freenode network.
[19:33] <holstein> sohail-ahmed: sure.. the link i gave shows the server and settings
[19:33] <holstein> sohail-ahmed: you can add the settings into your client.. for irssi, i would use /connect to connect to the server listed
[19:35] <sohail-ahmed> hoistein, again sorry for being a noob, though I can see the Connection Details section but have no idea what it is talking about or how to use those addresses to access them.
[19:36] <holstein> sohail-ahmed: what irc client are you using? i suggest something simple like xchat. use the GUI to connect to the server you want to connect to
[19:36] <sohail-ahmed> pidgin
[19:38] <craigbass76> I had to shut off lightlocker (unless someone knows a workaround for the "asks for a password then goes black" problem on laptops when waking from shutting the lid) and now I'm wondering how to lock the screen with a shortcut.  What's the command to lock the screen?
[19:38] <bazhang> ask in #pidgin sohail-ahmed
[19:39] <sohail-ahmed> bazhang, holstein, thanks for your time. I guess my problem is more of a client usage.
[19:42] <brainwash> craigbass76: xflock4
[19:42] <holstein> sohail-ahmed: try a simpler client.. try xchat
[19:42] <holstein> sohail-ahmed: you dont have to close pidgin..
[19:43] <brainwash> craigbass76: you have to install some screen locker though (like xscreensaver), xflock4 is only a wrapper script
[19:44] <sohail-ahmed> holstein: I already have invested time to understand pidgin and its really embrassing to use xchat merely for another network.
[19:45] <holstein> sohail-ahmed: sure.. as i said, dont close it, and stop using it
[19:45] <holstein> sohail-ahmed: i think, you will find, that in the menu of xchat, you will simply find the connection.. then, you will learn, from that experience, how to connect to other irc servers in pidgin
[19:46] <sohail-ahmed> holstein: ok. I am installing it.
[19:46] <craigbass76> brainwash, so I've got xscreensaver installed, and hit Ctrl Alt Del (because that's already setup)?  Not happening, but I'm wondering if I've got to get out of the desktop and come back in.
[19:47] <brainwash> craigbass76: a relog may be needed, there should be an autostart entry for xscreensaver
[19:48] <brainwash> craigbass76: or you start it manually
[20:04] <sohail-ahmed> holstein, thankyou very much, with the help of people at #pidgin I have a managed to connect to oftc channels. The key was to create another account/username.
[20:10] <Orioa> can someone help me i wanna disable graphical log in
[20:10] <bazhang> !nox

[21:04] <arun_> guys, is xfce 4.12 depends upon gio 3 or 2 ?
[21:24] <xubuntu36w> hi
[21:25] <xubuntu36w> is anyone here?
[21:25] <knome> we're definitely all hiding
[21:27] <xubuntu36w> well ive problem with my ethernet connection (now using wireless), im using xubuntu, my network card is Realtek 8168, done everything written here: https://unixblogger.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/the-pain-of-an-realtek-rtl8111rtl8168-ethernet-card/ but it still dont work
[21:27] <xubuntu36w> i dont know how to debug on what step sth goes wrong. can anyone tell me, please?
[21:30] <holstein> xubuntu36w: in those cases, i'll try and test the NIC with a known good live iso, and/or a supported operating system.. it could be, the NIC broke, and its being assumed a linux support issue
[21:30] <holstein> i personally like to rule that out.. if its easy to do so..
[21:31] <xubuntu36w> i have 2 os on my pc, on windows it works perfectly
[21:31] <holstein> so, what i would do is, see if applying updates helps.. i would note what made it "break", and try an ealier kernel if i have one still installed
[21:32] <xubuntu36w> well i've done some sh!t, trying to reboot
[21:33] <holstein> sure.. and you can use a live iso to isolate out the things you are doing, that you are not really sure about what the commands do
[22:11] <phre4k> I wanted to install Xubuntu, error "(initramfs) unable to find medium containing live file system" – tried all the boot options, still doesnt work
[22:43] <ricksebak> does anyone know if xfce 4.12 (released today) will be coming to the xubuntu 14.04 repositories?
[22:43] <bekks> Most likely it wont.
[22:44] <knome> security update will, not much else
[22:44] <knome> well, potential security updates
[23:23] <wiso> hi
[23:23] <wiso> i have an isssue

[23:24] <knome> xubuntu 10.04 is not supported any more
[23:24] <wiso> smplayer cant play youtube online
[23:26] <wiso> ok excuse me i mean 14.04
[23:27] <knome> umm.. why should i believe you now?
