[01:40] <DazPetty> hey, if I delete my /proc/ directory, will my computer still boot?
[01:41] <DazPetty> I'm just wondering because I heard it is full of  generated files
[01:45] <ryclik> I don't think you'll be able to
[01:46] <ryclik> They aren't "files" as you would think of them. They aren't on disk. It just a directory full of pretend files that the kernel creates to give/receive information.
[01:47] <ryclik> So theoretically, if you were able to delete any of them, the kernel would recreate them upon the next boot.
[01:58] <DazPetty> ah
[01:58] <DazPetty> thanks ryclik
[01:59] <ryclik> No problem
[02:12] <DazPetty> I might just fire up ubuntu in a VM and start destroying it for practice
[02:12] <DazPetty> like killing important files and recover them or something
[02:28] <ryclik> DazPetty: running rm -rf * is pretty fun in a vm
[02:29] <ryclik> as its running try to use the system normally as it disintegrates. The only things left after it's done are the processes which were lucky enough to be loaded into RAM
[02:29] <DazPetty> haha cool idea
[02:30] <ryclik> create snapshots so you don't need to worry about reinstalling while you're experimenting
[02:30] <DazPetty> ahh good idea
[02:31] <ryclik> I do this whenever I decide to install a new distro. Just nuke the old one and watch it die lol
[03:00] <drc>

[19:08] <Davor1> hi! anybody here?
[19:08] <holstein> yes
[19:09] <Davor1> please how i may change "select file" manager or set "sort folders before files" in existing? Thanks
[19:10] <mrkramps> what do you mean by "select file manager"?
[19:11] <elhe> can you tell me how do I check my ubuntu version via terminal
[19:11] <mrkramps> for the other one check Edit → Preferences [Display] in thunar
[19:11] <mrkramps> elhe, lsb_release -a
[19:11] <elhe> thanks
[19:11] <holstein> Davor1: try http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/preferences and search the page for "sort folders" and see if that works for you
[19:12] <Davor1> when i open file from bluefish it open "select file" conversation. In it is mixed files and folders by name. I wist folders in the top and files below
[19:13] <Davor1> *wish
[19:13] <holstein> Davor1: the link i gave should explain how to sort folders before files in thunar
[19:15] <Davor1> I use pcmanfm. It is ok. But for "select files" i think it is Nautilus. I may configure nautilus but it have no efect when i have "selest files# manager
[19:16] <mrkramps> oO
[19:16] <holstein> i would try upstream in #ubuntu or nautilus specific support
[19:18] <mrkramps> and maybe #lubuntu for pcmanfm specific issues
[19:19] <Davor1> Ok! Thank You!
[20:07] <CountryfiedLinux> howdy
[20:07] <CountryfiedLinux> How do I fix screen tearing?
[20:08] <mrkramps> CountryfiedLinux, depends on your gfx card and driver used
[20:08] <CountryfiedLinux> mrkramps, Intel
[20:09] <Unit193> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics#Tear-free_video
[20:12] <CountryfiedLinux> mrkramps, It looks like that folder doesn't exist on my system.
[20:12] <CountryfiedLinux> I meant Unit193 sorry mrkramps
[20:12] <xubuntu71w> hey there, I'm new to linux. just installed xubuntu 14.04 on old pc. I'm trying to get Skype. I'm installing it, but it just won't start. I looked at many forums, tried different ways, but it just won't start. Terminal says aborted (core dumped). It'd be really glad if someone could help. Thanks
[20:12] <holstein> !skype
[20:12] <holstein> xubuntu71w: i try different versions.. i'll get the .deb from the site
[20:13] <Unit193> CountryfiedLinux: You can create it.
[20:13] <mrkramps> CountryfiedLinux, create folder and file
[20:13] <mrkramps> sudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
[20:13] <CountryfiedLinux> ok thanks
[20:13] <holstein> create the file.. you are likely looking for x11, and not X11
[20:14] <holstein> X11 should be there..
[20:14] <CountryfiedLinux> the wiki says X11
[20:14] <Unit193> holstein: /etc/X11/
[20:14] <holstein> CountryfiedLinux: it *is* X11.. but, you should have X11.. that "folder" should exist..
[20:14] <mrkramps> had been so forever i guess
[20:15] <holstein> im gussing you are searching /etc/x11.. but, no need to guess.. the command mrkramps gave will work.. ^
[20:15] <mrkramps> CountryfiedLinux, btw. what model of intel card you have?
[20:16] <CountryfiedLinux> oops
[20:16] <CountryfiedLinux> It's xorg.conf that isn't there. I'll create it.
[20:16] <mrkramps> CountryfiedLinux, xorg.conf is deprecated
[20:16] <CountryfiedLinux> that's what the wiki says to do
[20:17] <mrkramps> ist says xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
[20:18] <CountryfiedLinux> I don't have any kind of xorg folder in etc/X11
[20:18] <CountryfiedLinux> but I can create it.
[20:18] <mrkramps> CountryfiedLinux, and you still have to create it, see above
[20:22] <CountryfiedLinux> ok thank you
[20:25] <CountryfiedLinux> I'm trying to open that directory with Pluma and it's popped up saying /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf is a directory. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again.
[20:26] <CountryfiedLinux> I know it's a directory because I just made it.
[20:27] <mrkramps> 20-intel.conf should be a file, _not_ a directory
[20:28] <CountryfiedLinux> oh ok thanks.
[20:28] <CountryfiedLinux> I'll try again.
[20:31] <CountryfiedLinux> OK do I reboot for changes to take effect or just logout?
[20:32] <mrkramps> just logout
[20:32] <CountryfiedLinux> ok thanks
[21:48] <netstar> I am running Kubuntu 15.04. How can I add the Xubuntu 15.04 repositories to use Xfce with "ubuntu"#?
[21:50] <knome> netstar, the repositories are the same.
[21:51] <netstar> they are??? ok...I am trying to use xfce 4.12 but only 4.10 is listed
[21:51] <mrkramps> netstar, you are not running kubuntu 15.04 then
[21:51] <netstar> oh I am
[21:53] <netstar> Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch) \n \l
[21:53] <netstar> Linux Workstation 3.19.0-12-generic #12-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 3 04:03:26 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[21:54] <CountryfiedLinux> howdy
[21:54] <CountryfiedLinux> I found out how to fix screen tearing with Compton :D
[21:54] <CountryfiedLinux> Now how do I upgrade my wallpapers only?
[21:54] <mrkramps> netstar, ah … the xfce4 package is still listed with 4.10
[21:54] <netstar> oh i see
[21:55] <netstar> so just install that?
[21:55] <mrkramps> netstar, depends on what you want … bare desktop environment only or xubuntu
[21:55] <CountryfiedLinux> Oh I just found it.
[21:56] <netstar> okay :)
[21:56] <netstar> thanks people
[22:31] <gayle> I'm wanting to install xubuntu on a desktop coputer. As I look for an ISO, I see xubuntu-14.04 But what I do not see are any "point-releases"
[22:31] <gayle> Does xubuntu not have point-releases?
[22:31] <mrkramps> gayle, it has
[22:32] <gayle> mrkramps: Do not see them, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[22:32] <mrkramps> oO 14.04.2
[22:32] <gayle> mrkramps: Ok I see now...
[22:33] <gayle> is 14.04.2 the latest?
[22:33] <mrkramps> yes
[22:33] <gayle> Ok thank you.
[22:33] <Unit193> The hashes are also on the same server as the isos.
[22:33] <mrkramps> gayle, but it already has HWE enabled
