[02:14] !server [02:14] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide - Support in #ubuntu-server [03:03] bluesabre, or Unit193 are you available for a second for a question? [03:22] Why not ask a question and see/ [04:23] hey [04:24] I have a problem with sound, it doesn't work [04:59] 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! [05:17] mpmc: Do you have iommu enabled? [05:17] mpmc: In the bios, I mean [05:17] Enkidu_ak: Not sure, but I just tried a dvd and it froze. [05:18] Now I'm getting Magic is broken! [05:18] mpmc: Go into your bios, look for iommu. You should find it with legacy usb and pci bus settings. [05:19] k, I'll take a poke. [05:23] Enkidu_ak: Had a poke about, no iommu settings, however UEFI/Legacy boot is set to UEFI only. [05:24] mpmc: What mb are you using? [05:25] Enkidu_ak: Its a thinkpad laptop [Edge E525 (1200 CTO I think) [05:28] 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!. [05:30] Woot I see a desktop! [05:31] 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] mpmc: I'm still not sure what iommu is exactly. [05:31] I had 14.04 (Lubuntu) on it before with UEFI only & that ran fine. :s [05:56] hi [05:58] hi | linux_unix-10 [05:58] i'm trying to install flash player and have it run in midori but i can't install nspluginwrapper [05:59] it can't find nspluginviewer [05:59] linux_unix-10: there is a linux version of flash [05:59] tried to manually force-install (32-bit) but it got stuck in dependency hell [06:00] linux_unix-10: install the linux version and create a link, that should solve the problem [06:06] linux version installed, but midori can't detect it [06:08] how do i create a link? [06:11] linux_unix-10: ou well i think you need nspluginwrapper [06:11] exactly my problem [06:11] so much dirty work to do [06:11] 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] install the nspluginwrapper [06:13] can't install: The following packages have unmet dependencies: [06:13] nspluginwrapper : Depends: nspluginviewer (= 1.4.4-0ubuntu5) but it is not installable [06:13] E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [06:13] linux_unix-10: https://wiki.xfce.org/midori/faq#flash_doesn_t_work [06:14] linux_unix-10: nspluginviewer is not available for 64 bit version [06:14] linux_unix-10: sudo apt-get install nspluginviewer:i386 [06:15] can't locate package [06:17] linux_unix-10: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nspluginviewer&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all [06:17] pick the right one and download [06:17] then install via dpkg [06:24] no dice [06:24] dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of nspluginviewer: [06:24] nspluginviewer depends on libc6 (>= 2.15). [06:24] nspluginviewer depends on libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1). [06:24] nspluginviewer depends on libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.24.0). [06:24] nspluginviewer depends on libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.24.0). [06:24] nspluginviewer depends on libx11-6. [06:24] nspluginviewer depends on libxt6. [06:25] linux_unix-10: sudo apt-get install -f [06:25] that should fix it [06:26] nothing [12:22] alien [12:23] is there anyone? [12:24] I need help to let my epson scanner work with Xubuntu [12:24] !info simple-scan [12:24] 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 [12:25] try that ^ xubuntu06o [12:26] I have tried but it recognizes the scanner but it does not work properly [12:27] what do you mean 'properly' [12:28] Seems to start then it immediately stops [12:29] with Windows Xp it worked well until yesterday [12:31] when I launch preview it blocks on it [12:31] it started [12:32] I just canceled the value for pre-heating [12:32] thanks [12:32] it works now? [14:03] when I uninstall light-locker, does the screen not get locked anymore? [14:03] how can I prevent the screen from being locked automatically? The light-locker-settings app doesn't seem to channge anything. [14:14] phrek there is another screensaver which is still affexting [14:14] xset -display :0 s off [14:14] xset -display :0 -dpms [14:14] xset -display :0 s noblank [14:14] 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 [14:15] nomic, xscreensaver has been known to conflict with lightlocker according to xfce.org [14:15] 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] ie. its affects everyone - and has not been fixed -- light locker has caused problems [14:15] it does [14:16] you must issue those xset commands to disable the x screen saver [14:16] screen saver / linux - screensaver is like a trojan imo [14:16] the problem is not that the screen blanks but the locking [14:16] the locking also [14:16] is because of your power manager [14:16] which you cannot turn off [14:16] without [14:17] so dpms controls screen locking too? [14:17] and I can't disable automatic locking at all? [14:17] wtf is this sh...? [14:17] the admin isn't good it isn't fixed [14:17] this hasn't been addressed imo [14:17] there are multiple fixes [14:18] some genius decided to create this "light locker" which is not addressing anything [14:18] sounds cood - great name "light locker" [14:18] nomic, please. [14:18] things worked, before [14:18] so how do I fix this asap? [14:18] 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) [14:19] both through the command line [14:19] phre4k, please remember that this is a family friendly channel and your language should match that. [14:19] ask the experts there may be some here [14:19] did I swear? [14:19] no. [14:19] nomic: he meant me [14:19] im out of here I tried to help .. bbl [14:21] so to prevent the screen from locking, I'd do xset -dpms, disable it in light-locker-settings and xfce4-power-manager? [14:21] Or are there any other steps? [14:21] that turns off your power manager I think -dpms [14:21] if you don't need screen locking, why not simply uninstall light-locker? [14:21] it locks when [14:22] i'd certainly do that [14:22] (uninstall light locker) [14:22] other people have defeated the issue by uninstalling power manager [14:23] this is drastic surgery .. cut cut - throw organs out [14:23] maybe not needed [14:23] stops immediate problem [14:23] btw. when was a screen saver needed, -- it must have been last needed in 1982 [14:23] brainvvash_: that was what I asked [14:24] nomic, i've sent you a PM and i expect you to have read it. [14:24] when I uninstall light-locker, does the screen not get locked anymore? [14:24] I will now try to uninstall light-locker and look if this solves the problem. [14:53] would the pushbullet indicator work in xfce? (I have xfce 4.12 installed on top of ubuntu 14.04) [14:53] since now there's a desktop indicator I've read (and not just a browser extension) [14:57] from atareo-team I believe [14:59] you would have to ask the developers of that indicator [15:00] (or maybe just try if it works...) [15:00] ok :) [15:00] so there isn't some general rule, that all ubuntu indicators work also in xfce? [15:02] general rules are general, not always applying to a specific case (which is what you are asking) [15:02] cool, tnx [17:55] 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] what am I missing? [17:56] pl, settings manager > window manager [17:57] also try resizing with alt+right mouse button [17:57] easier anyway imho === azeam_afk is now known as azeam [18:08] brainvvash_, thanks [18:09] pl, if you want to invest some time, take a look at http://sevkeifert.blogspot.de/2014/12/increase-window-border-size-in-xubuntu.html [18:10] brainvvash_, I will, thanks [18:47] 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 [18:48] anyone? [19:17] maybe try removing xubuntu-defaults and reinstalling it? [19:17] not sure [19:17] sorry its xubuntu-default-settings [19:20] he's gone ages ago, and no, that's not going to overwrite the personal settings done by the user [19:21] rm ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu should do the trick [19:22] and removing the custom .desktop files, if any [19:22] ah [19:22] good to know [19:22] from ~/.local/share/applications/ [19:29] Is there a way to autolock the session on xubuntu 15.10? [19:31] there is no such version [19:31] sorry [19:31] 15.04 [19:31] ask in #ubuntu+1 [19:32] but I think it's xfce-related [19:33] then try the xfce channel, vivid is the above channel [19:38] bazhang: Xubuntu post beta is supported here too. [19:38] pl: Xubuntu ships with light-locker, which is used to lock the session. [19:38] Hi Unit193 :) [19:38] Unit193, ok apologies [19:38] Heya! [19:39] bazhang: No problem, I know it differes from usual. [19:39] 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 [19:42] pl: You can add the "Action Buttons" to the panel, which will allow you to select to switch user/lock screen. [19:43] Or even create a launcher with menulibre or in whisker itself for `xflock4` === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [20:01] 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. [20:10] scrapcode, do you? [20:11] scrapcode, or in other words, can you do other things that require the sudo access? [20:24] 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] 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 [20:25] I really wouldn't mind if I could just get the "You have new updates" window to stop displaying and be done with it [21:13] Could some-one please tell me where I might find a xfwm theme that has wide grab resize corners? I wish to copy the bottom-left-active.xpm ...etc files into the Bluebird them . [21:13] Could some-one please tell me where I might find a xfwm theme that has wide grab resize corners? I wish to copy the bottom-left-active.xpm ...etc files into the Bluebird them . [21:16] howdy [21:17] hi [21:17] Is there a link with the official wallpaper for 15.04? I'd rather not download and boot it just to get a wallpaper. [21:19] you can download the xubuntu-artwork package for 15.40 [21:19] *15.04 [21:20] you could also download its source package and extract it [21:20] well, xubuntu-wallpapers really [21:20] that exactly [21:21] CountryfiedLinux, http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/xubuntu-wallpapers [21:23] cool thanks mrkramps [21:23] is "snappy" different than "ubuntu core"? :) [21:23] or are those two names for the same thing? [21:24] msev, https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/ [21:25] so same thing :) [21:25] nope [21:25] dang [21:25] ok now I atleast know the answer [21:25] :D [21:25] it is some kind of optimized image for this so called internet of things [21:26] so "snappy" is sort of an alternative to "apt-get"? [21:27] yes [21:28] thanks [22:43] hey guys, [22:43] I am about to install xubuntu [22:43] I am running a dual boot [22:43] I allready have Manjaro linux installed, but it is corrupted [22:44] I am just going to erase it's partition [22:44] and install xubuntu [22:44] will it reinstall grub? [22:44] and everything will be fine? [22:45] yes, you just have to select the appropiate drive to overwrite your old grub installation [22:48] mrkramps, where is grub installed? [22:48] in my windows partition? [22:49] can I just get Xubuntu to overright my manjaro on install? [22:50] i have no idea where you installed grub, but i guess it it on your primary drive [22:50] You can write whatever you want over whatever you want to DazPetty [22:50] I'm just watching this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcbTgMKpVHQ [22:50] a new install will overwrite everything else in the selected partition [22:51] ye cool [22:51] I thought as much [22:51] I just want to be careful [22:51] I will backup as much as I can first [22:51] ~ A new install will reinstall grub though wont it (which is good) [22:52] mrkramps, it wouldn't install grub on the windows partition (or would it?) [22:52] you can select the drive in the installer [22:53] windows partitions are NTFS [22:56] 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 [22:57] ok thanks, I'm going to go give it a try [22:58] just take care of a backup and you are always good to go [23:43] hey guys [23:43] I am installing xubuntu right now [23:43] i have a swap drive from an old manjaro installation [23:43] 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. [23:45] Enkidu_ak, minimal iso? [23:45] knome: Minimal comes with mdadm? [23:46] i have 24gb of ram [23:46] should i do a 50gb swap partition? [23:46] or will 16 gb do it? [23:47] and I was going to give my root 140gb [23:47] my home 800gb [23:47] where does xubuntu install stuff? and steam install? [23:52] dazdaryl, do you make use of swap? [23:53] in terms of suspend to disk e.g. [23:54] root will unlikely require more than 20 GB, even with many packages installed and steam installs games in /home [23:56] probably not mrcraps [23:56] *mrkramps [23:56] ~ on my old arch setup i had 80gb and it ran out [23:56] 80GB /root?! [23:56] because i pretty much installed every other bloody thing from the respository [23:57] yeah because arch's default location to install things was .opt [23:57] well, true [23:57] I'm a game developer [23:57] I went back to windows for a year to use some windows only tools :( [23:57] now unreal engine 4 is working on linux :) [23:57] so i'm going back [23:58] ~ the software repositories aren't that recent [23:58] so someone has suggested i build straight from git [23:58] which also can be done in /home [23:59] yep [23:59] but anyways, you have quite some space on your drive - if you feel better with 140GB /root it is nothing wring about [23:59] yeah its a 2tb disk [23:59] got 1tb for windows [23:59] 1 tb for linux
