[01:15] <ryclik> Anyone ever heard of the hdparm command hanging? It won't respond to SIGTERM or SIGKILL
[01:15] <ryclik> With any options. I most recently tried hdparm -I
[02:28] <likemindead> I'm trying to install Xubuntu on an HP Mini 1000 netbook. I've never done so via USB, always installed from CD/DVD-ROM.
[02:29] <likemindead> I tried both the Startup Disk Creator & UNETbootIN.
[02:29] <likemindead> Using a 4GB jump drive in FAT32.
[02:29] <likemindead> The netbook begins to boot from USB each time, then just goes to a black screen. Nothing.
[02:29] <likemindead> Ideas?
[03:07] <mrkramps> likemindead, tried dd already?
[03:10] <likemindead> Eh?
[03:14] <mrkramps> you can write iso with dd to usb stick
[03:15] <mrkramps> which architecture you have downloaded? 32 or 64?
[03:15] <likemindead> 32
[03:15] <likemindead> The 14.04.02 LTS image.
[03:16] <mrkramps> ok, should be fine then
[04:54] <EvanCarroll> anyone else having a problem with headers?
[04:54] <EvanCarroll> Package linux-headers-3.16.0-33-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[04:54] <EvanCarroll> this is on 15.05
[04:54] <EvanCarroll> this is on 15.04
[04:54] <EvanCarroll> finding the linux headers not in the repo
[07:52] <nashant> Hey, is it possible to increase the effective screen resolution? I want to make everything smaller so I can fit more on the screen
[07:56] <knome> depends on your GPU and monitor
[07:58] <nashant> knome: It's a remote xen VM viewing using ThinLinc
[07:59] <nashant> I can essentially do what I want using vnc but it's really slow
[08:00] <knome> then your connection might be the bottleneck
[08:00] <knome> there is some optimization stuff you can do with vnc (please read the manuals), and that might help some
[08:01] <nashant> knome: I'm testing that today. Wiring through to the bedroom
[08:01] <knome> bumping up the resolution regardless of the way you connect is going to mean a lot more to transfer thus slower
[10:46] <shp> Hello all I have problem with my pc turning itself ON/get out of suspend by itself every morning at 05:55 which is quite disturbing...what can i do to stop this? please help
[10:47] <shp> I have completely uninstalled the alarm clock app i used before and wake up on lan is not on
[10:47] <shp> i disconnect the wifi adapter
[10:48] <shp> any help is appreciated
[10:51] <bekks> Check your BIOS settings, and disable autotmatic power-on.
[10:52] <shp> this never happened before i used that alarm clock app, which i already purged last night
[11:17] <nashant> Hey, how can I add an application to startup from the terminal?
[11:39] <elfy> nashant: you could try writing the .desktop file and dropping it into your .config/autostart
[11:39] <elfy> might do the trick

[15:14] <TimeVirus> I installed ktouch a few days ago and there is no menu entry for it.  I can start it from terminal np.  What do I need to do to have a menu entry for it?
[15:15] <TimeVirus> timevirus@timevirus-Latitude-D420:~$ locate ktouch.desktop
[15:16] <TimeVirus>  /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ktouch:kde4__ktouch.desktop
[15:16] <TimeVirus> sup?
[15:16] <TimeVirus> yo
[15:52] <TimeVirus> I installed ktouch a few days ago and there is no menu entry for it.  I can start it from terminal np.  What do I need to do to have a menu entry for it?  /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ktouch:kde4__ktouch.desktop - I'm running Xfce DE
[15:52] <krytarik> TimeVirus: Don't you have a "/usr/share/applications/kde4/ktouch.desktop" too?
[15:54] <TimeVirus> not sure
[15:55] <TimeVirus> looking
[15:56] <krytarik> TimeVirus: Either way, the thing is, you'd need to symlink/copy that to one level above there.
[15:56] <TimeVirus> mmk
[15:59] <TimeVirus> maybe i just skip it and hope i dont forget i have the program...run it from the term...lol ... dont yet know what you mean by 'one level above'
[15:59] <krytarik> TimeVirus: The "/usr/share/applications" directory.
[16:00] <TimeVirus> symlink isnt completely an unknown though
[16:00] <TimeVirus> ah ok
[16:01] <TimeVirus> i
[16:01] <TimeVirus> I'll try harder thanks for the hints krytarik
[16:39] <TimeVirus> krytarik, when I try to copy/paste that file one level up, as you say, I get a permission denied error/response
[16:39] <krytarik> !sudo | TimeVirus
[16:39] <TimeVirus> lol
[16:39] <TimeVirus> didnt know sudo would work on paste
[16:40] <TimeVirus> right click option
[16:40] <TimeVirus> here goes
[16:40] <krytarik> TimeVirus: I'd do it on the command line anyway.
[16:41] <TimeVirus> I'm in the terminal..sec
[16:45] <TimeVirus> krytarik, *.desktop != .desktop?
[16:47] <TimeVirus> timevirus@timevirus-Latitude-D420:/usr/share/applications$ sudo /usr/share/applications/kde4/ktouch.desktop
[16:47] <TimeVirus> [sudo] password for timevirus:
[16:47] <TimeVirus> sudo: /usr/share/applications/kde4/ktouch.desktop: command not found :: btw
[16:48] <TimeVirus> tried it by sudo right click paste = no go
[16:48] <krytarik> TimeVirus: "sudo ln -s /usr/share/applications/kde4/ktouch.desktop /usr/share/applications/"
[16:49] <TimeVirus> ok ln -s then thanks
[16:49] <krytarik> That's for the symlink, btw.
[16:49] <TimeVirus> rgr
[16:50] <TimeVirus> that got it done thanks again krytarik
[16:50] <krytarik> Cool.
[19:13] <EvanCarroll> anyone on 15.04?
[19:14] <EvanCarroll> there is a pretty large problem in that the kernel headers are not in the repository
[19:15] <elfy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10852592/
[19:20] <mrkramps> dunno, you may need to activate the source code repositories?
[19:56] <EvanCarroll> mrkramps: they're active.
[19:56] <EvanCarroll> mrkramps: the headers for the new kernel didn't make it up there.
[19:56] <mrkramps> then you should wait for the synch
[19:57] <mrkramps> 15.04 is not stable yet
[20:30] <EvanCarroll> sure.. but someone pushing up a new kernel without headers is a blooper it has nothing (afaik) to do with stability. I've never seen this, and I've been following beta releases for quite some time.
[20:31] <knome> EvanCarroll, anything can happen before a release
[20:31] <EvanCarroll> I can fix this problem. It's not going to kill me. But, it's super annoying and I wanted to be sure the release manager knew of it. I can just recompile the kernel.
[20:32] <knome> EvanCarroll, i'm completely sure the people who are working on this are aware of the situation.
[23:15] <cognitios> Hey, I just did a fresh install of xubuntu and for some reason after downloading adblock on firefox adblock isn't working. I've had this issue before but i can't remember how i fixed it. Does anyone else know how to fix this?
[23:16] <holstein> cognitios: id say, its not particularly tied to xfce or xubuntu.. maybe try #ubuntu or the mozilla support venues, and elaborate.. more information than "it isnt working".. you can see that you have the most up to date FF,and make sure adblock supports your version
