| xubuntu62w | hey | 04:23 |
| xubuntu62w | I have a problem with sound, it doesn't work | 04:24 |
| mpmc | Morning folks, trying to boot a daily build 15.04 iso via a usb stick on my thinkpad and it begins to load but then I get "unable to find a medium containing a live file system". I'm going to burn it to a dvd and try it that way, very odd! | 04:59 |
| Enkidu_ak | mpmc: Do you have iommu enabled? | 05:17 |
| Enkidu_ak | mpmc: In the bios, I mean | 05:17 |
| mpmc | Enkidu_ak: Not sure, but I just tried a dvd and it froze. | 05:17 |
| mpmc | Now I'm getting Magic is broken! | 05:18 |
| Enkidu_ak | mpmc: Go into your bios, look for iommu. You should find it with legacy usb and pci bus settings. | 05:18 |
| mpmc | k, I'll take a poke. | 05:19 |
| mpmc | Enkidu_ak: Had a poke about, no iommu settings, however UEFI/Legacy boot is set to UEFI only. | 05:23 |
| Enkidu_ak | mpmc: What mb are you using? | 05:24 |
| mpmc | Enkidu_ak: Its a thinkpad laptop [Edge E525 (1200 CTO I think) | 05:25 |
| mpmc | Changing UEFI/LB to both looks like it may have done the trick! well it still loading from the CD but it hasn't borked yet! Fingers crossed!. | 05:28 |
| mpmc | Woot I see a desktop! | 05:30 |
| Enkidu_ak | mpmc: Ah. I had a similar issue and discovered that iommu had to be enabled for kernel 3 to play nice with usb 3 and some ethernet chipsets. Glad that it was less complicated :) | 05:31 |
| Enkidu_ak | mpmc: I'm still not sure what iommu is exactly. | 05:31 |
| mpmc | I had 14.04 (Lubuntu) on it before with UEFI only & that ran fine. :s | 05:31 |
| linux_unix-10 | hi | 05:56 |
| baizon | hi | linux_unix-10 | 05:58 |
| linux_unix-10 | i'm trying to install flash player and have it run in midori but i can't install nspluginwrapper | 05:58 |
| linux_unix-10 | it can't find nspluginviewer | 05:59 |
| baizon | linux_unix-10: there is a linux version of flash | 05:59 |
| linux_unix-10 | tried to manually force-install (32-bit) but it got stuck in dependency hell | 05:59 |
| baizon | linux_unix-10: install the linux version and create a link, that should solve the problem | 06:00 |
| linux_unix-10 | linux version installed, but midori can't detect it | 06:06 |
| linux_unix-10 | how do i create a link? | 06:08 |
| baizon | linux_unix-10: ou well i think you need nspluginwrapper | 06:11 |
| linux_unix-10 | exactly my problem | 06:11 |
| baizon | so much dirty work to do | 06:11 |
| Unit193 | export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins" or for me since I have adobe-flashplugin, export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/" | 06:11 |
| baizon | install the nspluginwrapper | 06:11 |
| linux_unix-10 | can't install: The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 06:13 |
| linux_unix-10 | nspluginwrapper : Depends: nspluginviewer (= 1.4.4-0ubuntu5) but it is not installable | 06:13 |

| baizon | linux_unix-10: https://wiki.xfce.org/midori/faq#flash_doesn_t_work | 06:13 |
| baizon | linux_unix-10: nspluginviewer is not available for 64 bit version | 06:14 |
| baizon | linux_unix-10: sudo apt-get install nspluginviewer:i386 | 06:14 |
| linux_unix-10 | can't locate package | 06:15 |
| baizon | linux_unix-10: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nspluginviewer&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all | 06:17 |
| baizon | pick the right one and download | 06:17 |
| baizon | then install via dpkg | 06:17 |
| linux_unix-10 | no dice | 06:24 |
| linux_unix-10 | dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of nspluginviewer: | 06:24 |
| linux_unix-10 | nspluginviewer depends on libc6 (>= 2.15). | 06:24 |
| linux_unix-10 | nspluginviewer depends on libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1). | 06:24 |

| linux_unix-10 | nspluginviewer depends on libx11-6. | 06:24 |
| linux_unix-10 | nspluginviewer depends on libxt6. | 06:24 |
| baizon | linux_unix-10: sudo apt-get install -f | 06:25 |
| baizon | that should fix it | 06:25 |
| linux_unix-10 | nothing | 06:26 |
| xubuntu06o | alien | 12:22 |
| xubuntu06o | is there anyone? | 12:23 |
| xubuntu06o | I need help to let my epson scanner work with Xubuntu | 12:24 |
| bazhang | !info simple-scan | 12:24 |
| ubottu | simple-scan (source: simple-scan): Simple Scanning Utility. In component main, is optional. Version 3.14.0-0ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 143 kB, installed size 684 kB | 12:24 |
| bazhang | try that ^ xubuntu06o | 12:25 |
| xubuntu06o | I have tried but it recognizes the scanner but it does not work properly | 12:26 |
| bazhang | what do you mean 'properly' | 12:27 |
| xubuntu06o | Seems to start then it immediately stops | 12:28 |
| xubuntu06o | with Windows Xp it worked well until yesterday | 12:29 |
| xubuntu06o | when I launch preview it blocks on it | 12:31 |
| xubuntu06o | it started | 12:31 |
| xubuntu06o | I just canceled the value for pre-heating | 12:32 |
| xubuntu06o | thanks | 12:32 |
| bazhang | it works now? | 12:32 |
| phre4k | when I uninstall light-locker, does the screen not get locked anymore? | 14:03 |
| phre4k | how can I prevent the screen from being locked automatically? The light-locker-settings app doesn't seem to channge anything. | 14:03 |
| nomic | phrek there is another screensaver which is still affexting | 14:14 |
| nomic | xset -display :0 s off | 14:14 |
| nomic | xset -display :0 -dpms | 14:14 |
| nomic | xset -display :0 s noblank | 14:14 |
| nomic | put those commands into your .bashrc or autorun, as a script to kill the x screensaver xset q will show you that it is active | 14:14 |
| cfhowlett | nomic, xscreensaver has been known to conflict with lightlocker according to xfce.org | 14:15 |
| nomic | the facility of light locker has over-ridden the old screen saver admin (which was working) - it does not stop the xset screensaver from blanking your screen - this is a problem | 14:15 |
| nomic | ie. its affects everyone - and has not been fixed -- light locker has caused problems | 14:15 |
| nomic | it does | 14:15 |
| nomic | you must issue those xset commands to disable the x screen saver | 14:16 |
| nomic | screen saver / linux - screensaver is like a trojan imo | 14:16 |
| phre4k | the problem is not that the screen blanks but the locking | 14:16 |
| nomic | the locking also | 14:16 |
| nomic | is because of your power manager | 14:16 |
| nomic | which you cannot turn off | 14:16 |
| nomic | without | 14:16 |
| phre4k | so dpms controls screen locking too? | 14:17 |
| phre4k | and I can't disable automatic locking at all? | 14:17 |
| phre4k | wtf is this sh...? | 14:17 |
| nomic | the admin isn't good it isn't fixed | 14:17 |
| nomic | this hasn't been addressed imo | 14:17 |
| nomic | there are multiple fixes | 14:17 |
| nomic | some genius decided to create this "light locker" which is not addressing anything | 14:18 |
| nomic | sounds cood - great name "light locker" | 14:18 |
| knome | nomic, please. | 14:18 |
| nomic | things worked, before | 14:18 |
| phre4k | so how do I fix this asap? | 14:18 |
| nomic | well anyway - I stopped the screensaver kicking in with those xset settings - to stop the power manager locking my screen when the lid is closed, I had to do something else fiddly (i forget) | 14:18 |
| nomic | both through the command line | 14:19 |
| knome | phre4k, please remember that this is a family friendly channel and your language should match that. | 14:19 |
| nomic | ask the experts there may be some here | 14:19 |
| nomic | did I swear? | 14:19 |
| nomic | no. | 14:19 |
| phre4k | nomic: he meant me | 14:19 |
| nomic | im out of here I tried to help .. bbl | 14:19 |
| phre4k | so to prevent the screen from locking, I'd do xset -dpms, disable it in light-locker-settings and xfce4-power-manager? | 14:21 |
| phre4k | Or are there any other steps? | 14:21 |
| nomic | that turns off your power manager I think -dpms | 14:21 |
| brainvvash_ | if you don't need screen locking, why not simply uninstall light-locker? | 14:21 |
| nomic | it locks when | 14:21 |
| nomic | i'd certainly do that | 14:22 |
| nomic | (uninstall light locker) | 14:22 |
| nomic | other people have defeated the issue by uninstalling power manager | 14:22 |
| nomic | this is drastic surgery .. cut cut - throw organs out | 14:23 |
| nomic | maybe not needed | 14:23 |
| nomic | stops immediate problem | 14:23 |
| nomic | btw. when was a screen saver needed, -- it must have been last needed in 1982 | 14:23 |
| phre4k | brainvvash_: that was what I asked | 14:23 |
| knome | nomic, i've sent you a PM and i expect you to have read it. | 14:24 |
| phre4k | <phre4k> when I uninstall light-locker, does the screen not get locked anymore? | 14:24 |
| phre4k | I will now try to uninstall light-locker and look if this solves the problem. | 14:24 |
| msev | would the pushbullet indicator work in xfce? (I have xfce 4.12 installed on top of ubuntu 14.04) | 14:53 |
| msev | since now there's a desktop indicator I've read (and not just a browser extension) | 14:53 |
| msev | from atareo-team I believe | 14:57 |
| knome | you would have to ask the developers of that indicator | 14:59 |
| knome | (or maybe just try if it works...) | 15:00 |
| msev | ok :) | 15:00 |
| msev | so there isn't some general rule, that all ubuntu indicators work also in xfce? | 15:00 |
| knome | general rules are general, not always applying to a specific case (which is what you are asking) | 15:02 |
| msev | cool, tnx | 15:02 |
| pl | Hi. I'm trying xubuntu 15.04. There is something I don't get: the resize grips of windows is too small (1px), it's unusable. I read that I should set a theme with a bigger grip. I installed xfwm4-themes, but no new theme shows up in the Appearance settings window. | 17:55 |
| pl | what am I missing? | 17:55 |
| brainvvash_ | pl, settings manager > window manager | 17:56 |
| elfy | also try resizing with alt+right mouse button | 17:57 |
| elfy | easier anyway imho | 17:57 |

| KM0201 | so i'm dealing w/ soemone who hosed their menu trying to edit it... is there a way to return it to default, and start over? xubuntu 14.04 | 18:47 |
| KM0201 | anyone? | 18:48 |
| bynarie | maybe try removing xubuntu-defaults and reinstalling it? | 19:17 |
| bynarie | not sure | 19:17 |
| bynarie | sorry its xubuntu-default-settings | 19:17 |
| knome | he's gone ages ago, and no, that's not going to overwrite the personal settings done by the user | 19:20 |
| mrkramps | rm ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu should do the trick | 19:21 |
| knome | and removing the custom .desktop files, if any | 19:22 |
| bynarie | ah | 19:22 |
| bynarie | good to know | 19:22 |
| knome | from ~/.local/share/applications/ | 19:22 |
| pl | Is there a way to autolock the session on xubuntu 15.10? | 19:29 |
| bazhang | there is no such version | 19:31 |
| pl | sorry | 19:31 |
| pl | 15.04 | 19:31 |
| bazhang | ask in #ubuntu+1 | 19:31 |
| pl | but I think it's xfce-related | 19:32 |
| bazhang | then try the xfce channel, vivid is the above channel | 19:33 |
| Unit193 | bazhang: Xubuntu post beta is supported here too. | 19:38 |
| Unit193 | pl: Xubuntu ships with light-locker, which is used to lock the session. | 19:38 |
| pl | Hi Unit193 :) | 19:38 |
| bazhang | Unit193, ok apologies | 19:38 |
| Unit193 | Heya! | 19:38 |
| Unit193 | bazhang: No problem, I know it differes from usual. | 19:39 |
| pl | Unit193, indeed it's what I use with lightdm, but I was looking for an easy menu setting, as the computer I'm configuring is not for me | 19:39 |
| Unit193 | pl: You can add the "Action Buttons" to the panel, which will allow you to select to switch user/lock screen. | 19:42 |
| Unit193 | Or even create a launcher with menulibre or in whisker itself for `xflock4` | 19:43 |

| scrapcode | my software updater window shakes when I try to install the new updates. I've caught it via screenshot and it says I don't have the permissions. | 20:01 |
| knome | scrapcode, do you? | 20:10 |
| knome | scrapcode, or in other words, can you do other things that require the sudo access? | 20:11 |
| scrapcode | knome: No... but I don't understand why anything has changed? It shakes and closes immediately. I can gksu the software center just fine | 20:24 |
| scrapcode | I found something on stackexchg last week about a config file to check that had perms but I can't find it now. However, that all looked like it should according to the resource that I was following | 20:24 |
| scrapcode | I really wouldn't mind if I could just get the "You have new updates" window to stop displaying and be done with it | 20:25 |

| CountryfiedLinux | howdy | 21:16 |
| gjgarza | hi | 21:17 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Is there a link with the official wallpaper for 15.04? I'd rather not download and boot it just to get a wallpaper. | 21:17 |
| knome | you can download the xubuntu-artwork package for 15.40 | 21:19 |
| knome | *15.04 | 21:19 |
| mrkramps | you could also download its source package and extract it | 21:20 |
| knome | well, xubuntu-wallpapers really | 21:20 |
| knome | that exactly | 21:20 |
| mrkramps | CountryfiedLinux, http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/xubuntu-wallpapers | 21:21 |
| CountryfiedLinux | cool thanks mrkramps | 21:23 |
| msev | is "snappy" different than "ubuntu core"? :) | 21:23 |
| msev | or are those two names for the same thing? | 21:23 |
| mrkramps | msev, https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/ | 21:24 |
| msev | so same thing :) | 21:25 |
| mrkramps | nope | 21:25 |
| msev | dang | 21:25 |
| msev | ok now I atleast know the answer | 21:25 |
| msev | :D | 21:25 |
| mrkramps | it is some kind of optimized image for this so called internet of things | 21:25 |
| msev | so "snappy" is sort of an alternative to "apt-get"? | 21:26 |
| mrkramps | yes | 21:27 |
| msev | thanks | 21:28 |
| DazPetty | hey guys, | 22:43 |
| DazPetty | I am about to install xubuntu | 22:43 |
| DazPetty | I am running a dual boot | 22:43 |
| DazPetty | I allready have Manjaro linux installed, but it is corrupted | 22:43 |
| DazPetty | I am just going to erase it's partition | 22:44 |
| DazPetty | and install xubuntu | 22:44 |
| DazPetty | will it reinstall grub? | 22:44 |
| DazPetty | and everything will be fine? | 22:44 |
| mrkramps | yes, you just have to select the appropiate drive to overwrite your old grub installation | 22:45 |
| DazPetty | mrkramps, where is grub installed? | 22:48 |
| DazPetty | in my windows partition? | 22:48 |
| DazPetty | can I just get Xubuntu to overright my manjaro on install? | 22:49 |
| mrkramps | i have no idea where you installed grub, but i guess it it on your primary drive | 22:50 |
| CountryfiedLinux | You can write whatever you want over whatever you want to DazPetty | 22:50 |
| DazPetty | I'm just watching this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcbTgMKpVHQ | 22:50 |
| mrkramps | a new install will overwrite everything else in the selected partition | 22:50 |
| DazPetty | ye cool | 22:51 |
| DazPetty | I thought as much | 22:51 |
| DazPetty | I just want to be careful | 22:51 |
| DazPetty | I will backup as much as I can first | 22:51 |
| DazPetty | ~ A new install will reinstall grub though wont it (which is good) | 22:51 |
| DazPetty | mrkramps, it wouldn't install grub on the windows partition (or would it?) | 22:52 |
| mrkramps | you can select the drive in the installer | 22:52 |
| DazPetty | windows partitions are NTFS | 22:53 |
| mrkramps | and the grub bootloader will be installed in the master boot record … does not matter which file system the partitions on this drive will use | 22:56 |
| DazPetty | ok thanks, I'm going to go give it a try | 22:57 |
| mrkramps | just take care of a backup and you are always good to go | 22:58 |
| dazdaryl | hey guys | 23:43 |
| dazdaryl | I am installing xubuntu right now | 23:43 |
| dazdaryl | i have a swap drive from an old manjaro installation | 23:43 |
| Enkidu_ak | I'm trying to figure out how to install vivid onto a raid0 without resorting to Ubuntu server. The array is already configured, but mdadm won't be present on a standard installation, so the array won't be assembled at boot. I was thinking that after installation I would boot from a live image, chroot to the assembled array and install mdaadm manually. | 23:43 |
| knome | Enkidu_ak, minimal iso? | 23:45 |
| Enkidu_ak | knome: Minimal comes with mdadm? | 23:45 |
| dazdaryl | i have 24gb of ram | 23:46 |
| dazdaryl | should i do a 50gb swap partition? | 23:46 |
| dazdaryl | or will 16 gb do it? | 23:46 |
| dazdaryl | and I was going to give my root 140gb | 23:47 |
| dazdaryl | my home 800gb | 23:47 |
| dazdaryl | where does xubuntu install stuff? and steam install? | 23:47 |
| mrkramps | dazdaryl, do you make use of swap? | 23:52 |
| mrkramps | in terms of suspend to disk e.g. | 23:53 |
| mrkramps | root will unlikely require more than 20 GB, even with many packages installed and steam installs games in /home | 23:54 |
| dazdaryl | probably not mrcraps | 23:56 |
| dazdaryl | *mrkramps | 23:56 |
| dazdaryl | ~ on my old arch setup i had 80gb and it ran out | 23:56 |
| mrkramps | 80GB /root?! | 23:56 |
| dazdaryl | because i pretty much installed every other bloody thing from the respository | 23:56 |
| dazdaryl | yeah because arch's default location to install things was .opt | 23:57 |
| mrkramps | well, true | 23:57 |
| dazdaryl | I'm a game developer | 23:57 |
| dazdaryl | I went back to windows for a year to use some windows only tools :( | 23:57 |
| dazdaryl | now unreal engine 4 is working on linux :) | 23:57 |
| dazdaryl | so i'm going back | 23:57 |
| dazdaryl | ~ the software repositories aren't that recent | 23:58 |
| dazdaryl | so someone has suggested i build straight from git | 23:58 |
| mrkramps | which also can be done in /home | 23:58 |
| dazdaryl | yep | 23:59 |
| mrkramps | but anyways, you have quite some space on your drive - if you feel better with 140GB /root it is nothing wring about | 23:59 |
| dazdaryl | yeah its a 2tb disk | 23:59 |
| dazdaryl | got 1tb for windows | 23:59 |
| dazdaryl | 1 tb for linux | 23:59 |
