| fantasai | hi! Iḿ having trouble with my keyboard layout. I tried changing the setting in the settings manager, and that worked if I changed it to something else and changed it back again. But then it stops working when I reboot | 00:58 |
| fantasai | I also then tried to reconfigure through dpkg, but that also didn't last the reboot | 00:58 |
| xubuntu062 | gr8 b8 m8 8/8 IGN | 00:58 |
| fantasai | It was working fine before I dropped the computer | 00:59 |
| fantasai | but I'm pretty confused how dropping the computer would change the keyboard layout... | 00:59 |
| fantasai | esp. to something that's not en-US | 00:59 |
| fantasai | (Itś been set to US- International with dead keys) | 00:59 |
| fantasai | Is there something else I should try? | 00:59 |
| xubuntu062 | Try running the live cd | 00:59 |
| xubuntu062 | And setting up the keyboard | 01:00 |
| fantasai | in the live cd environment? How would that persist on my computer? | 01:00 |
| xubuntu062 | Because the installation may save the configs as default | 01:01 |
| fantasai | oh, you want me to reinstall it | 01:01 |
| xubuntu062 | I'm the best quickscoper m8 | 01:01 |
| fantasai | not just to run the livecd and change it in there | 01:01 |
| xubuntu062 | Not really | 01:01 |
| xubuntu062 | You can try both | 01:01 |

| fantasai | The correct file was /etc/default/keyboard, it needed manual editing because it wasn't set correctly. | 01:08 |
| SuperSumo | Can anyone help me get whiskermenu installed in 13.10? | 01:13 |
| SuperSumo | It seems the PPA has been disabled for 13.10 | 01:14 |
| krytarik | !13.10 | SuperSumo | 01:15 |
| ubottu | SuperSumo: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) was the 19th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on July 17th, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/saucy | 01:15 |
| SuperSumo | I tried to upgrade today to 14.10 but there were problems with my mousewheel in games so I downgraded again and now whiskermenu is gone. | 01:15 |
| SuperSumo | Yeah I know it's no longer supported, but I had whiskermenu installed at one point | 01:15 |
| SuperSumo | There is an extremely annoying bug in Xorg with 14.04+ which makes the mousewheel bind to the same mouse buttons as the side buttons in certain games. | 01:16 |

| SuperSumo | Yeah, that one | 01:18 |
| SuperSumo | I'm guessing everyone that's spoken to me so far is a bot. :( | 01:27 |
| krytarik | Nope. | 01:27 |
| SuperSumo | oh | 01:33 |
| SuperSumo | So no dice then? There isn't some deb file somewhere I can install from? I had it installed just 3 days ago. | 01:34 |

| matthew__ | hi, I googled how to fill zeros to my hard drive and found this command, "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda". I added sudo to the front because it said i didn't have permission. | 04:56 |
| matthew__ | it finished in a few minutes, i think because my hard drive was orginally encrypted and there were multiple partitions and I was wiping the first partition which was very small? so i deleted all the partitions so everything was unallocated and looked up on GParted to make sure it was all one block of unallocated space. did I get it right this second try? | 04:57 |
| matthew__ | i real green when it comes to the terminal | 04:57 |
| Unit193 | 'hda' is the entire drive, or should be. Also, lsblk will tell you which drive is the one you're looking for. | 04:58 |
| matthew__ | lsblk is saying ''sda'', not hda. should that concern me? | 05:00 |
| matthew__ | thanks i always had trouble finding my optical drive and it seems to have that listed too | 05:00 |
| Unit193 | matthew__: Only if you want to hit the right drive. You should be able to use cryptsetup to mount the encrypted volume, fwiw. | 05:01 |
| Unit193 | Sometimes you'll get a cdrom/dvdrom or such link to it in /dev/ | 05:01 |
| matthew__ | thank you for the help | 05:02 |
| Unit193 | See also, dban. | 05:02 |
| Unit193 | And sure. | 05:02 |
| matthew__ | okay. | 05:02 |

| craigbass76 | I threw kubuntu desktop on a machine to try something out, and I can't see any more packages related to KDE in synaptics; I think I erased them all. But the xfce on this machine doesn't look the same as on my own machines. Icons are different, color schemes are weird. I reinstalled xubuntu-desktop, but it didn't seem to matter. | 11:51 |
| GridNet | craigbass76, delete the ~/.config/xfce4 directory and relog | 12:20 |

| craigbass76 | GridNet, well, I hadn't gotten there yet, but just noticed that after a reboot things look normal. My nexst problem, which may have gone away with updates, is the mouse pointer randomly being gone after a wakeup. I can still see that the pointer is working (stuff under it lights up) but can't see the pointer itself. Ever heard of that? | 12:44 |
| GridNet | know issue | 12:45 |

| GridNet | you can go to a tty and back to recover the pointer | 12:46 |
| craigbass76 | That doesn't seem to be the same issue. I can see the screen fine, just no mouse pointer. I've got light locker off. I actually haven't had it happen to me since last night, so like I said, I wonder if an update fixed it. | 12:48 |
| craigbass76 | But that issue sounds like my laptop -- can't see anything when I crack the lid back open. I just type my pass and hit enter and I'm in. For whatever reason, the lock screen is there, just not visible. And it's inconsistent. :) | 12:50 |
| GridNet | craigbass76, yes, they are related | 12:51 |
| GridNet | its the same issue | 12:51 |
| craigbass76 | Does light locker seem to be the culprit | 12:51 |

| puff | Good afternoon. | 17:49 |
| puff | I just rebuilt this ancient laptop for a friend, dell inspiron 6000, 1.3Ghz, 1GB RAM, 52GB of disk... about 30-35GB space free. Winxp is slow as molasses on it, and unsupported by MS to boot, but I don't want to throw them into the deep end. I want to install a dual boot linux on it so they can try it, but can fall back to windows instead of bugging me for tech support :-) | 17:50 |
| puff | Somebody recommended lubuntu because it's super light weight. I run xubuntu myself, so I'm inclined to install the same so I know exactly what they're looking at when they call me with questions. | 17:51 |
| puff | Anybody have an idea what the relative performace of lubuntu vs. xubuntu is? | 17:51 |
| xangua | lubuntu is just a lighter desktop, performance depends on your computer and the programs you use | 17:52 |
| puff | xangua: How much lighter though? | 17:52 |
| puff | xangua: My understanding is that xubuntu is not just a lighter desktop (xfce) but also a selection of lighter default GUI apps (thunar instead of nautilus for file explorer, etc). | 17:52 |
| puff | Also, recently flash in xubuntu has stopped working, gives me a warning that it needs to be upgraded, which isn't going to happen because there is no upgrade for linux flash. Is there any distro that side steps this? | 17:53 |
| puff | Hm: https://www.wikivs.com/wiki/Lubuntu_vs_Xubuntu | 17:54 |
| puff | I guess my real question is, is the difference between lubuntu and xubuntu enough (on the stated hardware, 1.3Ghz/1GB/35GB of HD) to make a significant difference? | 17:57 |
| bazhang | yes | 18:03 |
| puff | bazhang: Thanks. | 18:05 |

| melodie | hi | 23:47 |
| melodie | can someone tell me how come there is no grub-efi in the Xubuntu 14.04.2 live? (well it seems, when invoking apt-cache policy against grub-efi) | 23:51 |
| melodie | can someone lighten me? | 23:51 |
| melodie | ie: is it installed at the end when needed? | 23:51 |
| melodie | then it would mean if there isn't and internet connection, it could not be possible to get it? | 23:52 |
| melodie | how does that work, for gpt tables with uefi/efi boot? | 23:52 |
| melodie | I might come back tomorrow to ask again if I don't get an info here right on | 23:53 |
| Unit193 | AMD64 images? Because the 32bit ones wouldn't have them. Also, check in /pool on the image. | 23:55 |
