| craigbass76 | Is there a way to do the equivalent of check and uncheck the "enable this device" in the mouse and trackpad settings window from a command line? | 01:07 |
|---|---|---|
| craigbass76 | Like a config file I can vi or something? | 01:13 |
| drc | It looks like home/drc/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/pointers.xml is the file you might want to l look at. | 01:19 |
| drc | s/the/a/ | 01:20 |
| drc | It's the only one I can easily find that appears to deal with input devices. | 01:21 |
| BrotherMaggot | howdy, how do you install vlc-srpos-plugin in 15.10 ? it requires libvlccore7. | 04:19 |
| Unit193 | BrotherMaggot: You rebuild it against the libvlccore-dev in 15.04/Vivid. | 04:22 |
| BrotherMaggot | so compile the vlc source and sneak in an older libvlccore ? | 04:23 |
| Unit193 | No... Recompile vlc-srpos-plugin, ask whereever you're trying to get it to update it, or ask them for support. | 04:24 |
| BrotherMaggot | ah. okay . thnx | 04:24 |
| BrotherMaggot | hmm | 04:24 |
| BrotherMaggot | woohoo that worked. just installed libvlc-dev and compiled the srpos source and installed. it works in vlc now. Thank You | 04:37 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 04:38 |
| BrotherMaggot | good timezone all | 04:39 |
| liquidsnake | anyone awake | 07:04 |
| elfy | yes - but whether they can answer an eventual question is a different thing altogether | 07:05 |
| liquidsnake | Ahh ok. i didn't think it would work but i got xubuntu running on this old Dell like a dream | 07:05 |
| liquidsnake | so far i'm luvin this distro | 07:06 |
| liquidsnake | only problems i havehad was with some gaming graphics issues but i think its due to the fact that this machine doesn't support 3d graphics | 07:06 |
| liquidsnake | it still has regular old DDR ram in it | 07:07 |
| liquidsnake | well i was just checking to see whats up. have a good night/morning | 07:08 |
| KW4HK | newb here. i'm getting unresolvable dependencies when trying to install wine or steam (linux version) on 15.04 | 10:39 |
| knome | are you using PPA's or something else that is off-center? | 10:40 |
| KW4HK | nope. i did have the wine ppa but i unchecked that. | 10:41 |
| knome | it's possible that vivid is in a state where those happen and there is nothing you can do about it (it's still not released...) | 10:42 |
| KW4HK | when is the release? | 10:42 |
| knome | thursday | 10:42 |
| KW4HK | mkay | 10:42 |
| knome | you can pasetebin the exact error messages for additional debugging | 10:43 |
| knome | though it's also possible it is something to do with steam | 10:43 |
| KW4HK | it said something about having to install steam:i386, but i'm 64bit | 10:44 |
| KW4HK | i guess i'll wait till thursday and reinstall | 10:44 |
| knome | ok | 10:45 |
| KW4HK | thnx for answering | 10:45 |
| xubuntu347 | hei guys i got a problem with xubuntu installation could i ask here? | 16:02 |
| drc | yes | 16:02 |
| xubuntu347 | so, i have a netbook and i have installed lubuntu. now i want to switch to xubuntu. i used unetbootin to create a bootable version of xubuntu into my pen drive but i cant install it in my pc | 16:03 |
| xubuntu347 | because it says that there is no bootloader or something like that | 16:03 |
| xubuntu347 | how can i solve this problem? | 16:03 |
| drc | xubuntu347: how did you create the "bootable" usb? | 16:03 |
| drc | sorry. eyes just missed the unetbootin part | 16:04 |
| xubuntu347 | yes m8 i did this a lot of times, also to install mint on my notebook and it worked. this time not | 16:04 |
| xubuntu347 | i tried on unetbootin windows 7 but also from lubuntu | 16:05 |
| _1_humpty2 | hi fnds | 16:05 |
| xubuntu347 | so how can i solve my problem? | 16:05 |
| drc | just out of curiosity, which verson of xubuntu were you using? | 16:06 |
| xubuntu347 | i downloaded the latest version of xubuntu | 16:07 |
| xubuntu347 | but maybe u wanted to know lubuntu not xubuntu | 16:07 |
| drc | the daily from today? | 16:07 |
| xubuntu347 | i downloaded like 2 days ago | 16:08 |
| drc | the beta2, the daily image or what? | 16:08 |
| xubuntu347 | uhm sec | 16:09 |
| xubuntu347 | the iso image: xubuntu 14.04.2-desktop-i386.iso | 16:09 |
| _1_humpty2 | hi | 16:10 |
| drc | FYI, that is not even close to being the "latest version of xubuntu" | 16:10 |
| drc | That's the LTS. | 16:10 |
| xubuntu347 | oh, i downloaded from here http://www.ubuntu-it.org/download/derivate | 16:10 |
| xubuntu347 | its the wrong version and it could be the problem? | 16:10 |
| xubuntu347 | just tell me what version do i have to download and i'll try :) | 16:11 |
| drc | xubuntu347: I doubt it, but it's not "the latest", it's the L(ong) T(erm) S(support) version. I should be good. | 16:11 |
| xubuntu347 | ok.. so what is the problem? maybe not xubuntu but lubuntu? dont know.. | 16:12 |
| xubuntu347 | i already installed xubuntu on this pc, mint also.. never had problems | 16:12 |
| xubuntu347 | and with the same pendrive | 16:12 |
| drc | 1) md5sum the iso; 2) reburn to the usb; 3) boot and Test the Media (or words to that effect) in the initial boot media. | 16:15 |
| drc | http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/#lts | 16:15 |
| drc | if you want to re dl'l the iso. | 16:15 |
| xubuntu347 | 1) md5sum the iso | 16:18 |
| xubuntu347 | can u explain? | 16:18 |
| xubuntu347 | i installed xubuntu on my usb right now with unetbootin | 16:19 |
| xubuntu347 | what i have to do now? | 16:19 |
| drc | forget the md5sum for now | 16:19 |
| drc | boot off the usb | 16:19 |
| xubuntu347 | boot off means: insert the pendrive and reboot the system? | 16:20 |
| drc | yes | 16:20 |
| xubuntu347 | ok im doing, sec | 16:20 |
| xubuntu347 | black screen, waiting for loading | 16:21 |
| xubuntu347 | i pressed ESC and selected pendrive | 16:21 |
| xubuntu347 | still black screen, with only a _ | 16:23 |
| xubuntu347 | doing nothing | 16:23 |
| drc | You have 2 machines: the one you are typing on and the netboook, correct? | 16:24 |
| xubuntu347 | sure | 16:24 |
| xubuntu347 | im on windows here | 16:24 |
| drc | ok, that stops what I was going to suggest :) | 16:24 |
| xubuntu347 | lol | 16:25 |
| xubuntu347 | so, its doing nothing.. still black screen | 16:25 |
| drc | ok, try this...take the pendrive and try to boot it on the machine you are typing on...if it doesn't work that will eliminate any pendrive>netbook>xubuntu problems. If it works then we go from there. | 16:27 |
| drc | I realize it's a pain, but I like to eliminate the easy things | 16:28 |
| xubuntu347 | just give me a sec. i try on my notebook, in which i have windows 8 - mint dual boot. soo i can contnue typing here | 16:28 |
| xubuntu347 | im back. im trying on another pc but it still on black screen | 16:36 |
| drc | OK :( | 16:36 |
| xubuntu347 | so what is the problem? the pen drive? or other | 16:36 |
| drc | I have to leave in about 5 minutes, but I'll work until then | 16:36 |
| xubuntu347 | thanks :) | 16:37 |
| drc | The problem looks like 1) the pen drive, 2) the iso, or 3) the burn of the iso to the USB | 16:37 |
| xubuntu347 | 3) dont think this cause i tried to do it a lot of times.. :( | 16:38 |
| drc | Then I'd start at the beginning :) | 16:38 |
| xubuntu347 | i can try on my other pendrive 16gb usb 3.0 | 16:38 |
| drc | re dl the iso from another site, md5sum to check the iso, burn the iso and see | 16:39 |
| drc | wait | 16:39 |
| drc | you have a functioning mint box? | 16:39 |
| xubuntu347 | linux mint u mean? i have it installed on my notebook yes | 16:40 |
| xubuntu347 | a question: the pendrive has to be ntfs, fat32 or what? | 16:41 |
| drc | with unetbootin? fat32 | 16:42 |
| xubuntu347 | oh maybe its thee problem? | 16:42 |
| xubuntu347 | it was ntfs | 16:42 |
| drc | Not sure, I don;t think unetbootin will allow the burn to a non-fat32 usb | 16:43 |
| xubuntu347 | it does :D | 16:43 |
| xubuntu347 | cause im sure it was ntfs.. btw im doing again | 16:43 |
| drc | interesting...make the pendrive a fat32, re burn and see. | 16:43 |
| xubuntu347 | yes doing | 16:43 |
| drc | I have to run now, sorry...hope it works out. | 16:44 |
| xubuntu347 | thanks bye :) | 16:45 |
| TimeVirus | many times when I lock the screen, go away for a bit and come back, I enter the psw and it fails to get to the desktop. How do troubleshoot this? | 17:32 |
| JanusLi | @TimeVirus: on Xubuntu? what are you seeing when you enter the password? is XFWM4 not loading up? | 17:46 |
| TimeVirus | ON Xubuntu yes when I enter the psw if all is going well, the rectangular psw box will disappear and I'm on the desktop ready to go. ... | 17:48 |
| TimeVirus | I can tell when its gone wrong because the wallpaper also disappears to black screen and the desktop will not come up. | 17:49 |
| TimeVirus | weather or not XFWM4 is loading up or not, I don't know | 17:50 |
| TimeVirus | also happens some times when resuming from suspend but I feel like it has something to do with Xfce - just a hunch | 17:51 |
| TimeVirus | I dont know what XFWM4 is | 17:51 |
| TimeVirus | JanusLi, ^ | 17:52 |
| JanusLi | XFWM4 is the actual process for the Xubuntu Window manager | 17:53 |
| JanusLi | i am assuming you are using a current version of Xubuntu | 17:54 |
| TimeVirus | 14.04 | 17:55 |
| JanusLi | next time it happens, try using Ctrl + ALT +F1-F6. which F-Key you use doesn't really matter, you just want to get to a terminal console other than TTY7. | 17:55 |
| TimeVirus | How would I be able to tell if XFWM4 has started? also I now remember another bit | 17:55 |
| JanusLi | then run top or htop. I like htop better, because you can sort the processes by what is going on | 17:55 |
| JanusLi | if you were in the GUI, then XWFM4 has been started | 17:56 |
| TimeVirus | I start a tty3 cli and many times it doesnt take my credentials so that I can reboot | 17:56 |
| TimeVirus | ok | 17:56 |
| JanusLi | but I have had a problem similar to what you describe, and it was because there was an error in it resuming | 17:57 |
| TimeVirus | hmmm | 17:57 |
| TimeVirus | and a couple times even crtl + alt + F3 fails to get me a terminal | 17:58 |
| JanusLi | granted, it is NOT a proper fix for what is going wrong, but often I would see xfwm4 in a paused or standby state, so i would sudo killall xfwm4, and then restart it in a new TTY | 17:58 |
| TimeVirus | ok | 17:58 |
| JanusLi | you have 7 TTY's on a default build--the GUI is started normally on 7 | 17:59 |
| TimeVirus | I was real pleased when I first tried pm-hibernate that it worked flawlessly on Xubuntu too | 18:00 |
| JanusLi | but I will often run processes in other terminals, and so, like having 4 desktops, I will often use different TTY's for different functions | 18:00 |
| TimeVirus | yes I know of tty7 | 18:00 |
| JanusLi | like, I like to keep htop running on TTY1 | 18:00 |
| TimeVirus | I see | 18:00 |
| TimeVirus | lol | 18:00 |
| TimeVirus | nice | 18:00 |
| JanusLi | I will use TTY6 for basic command line functions, TTY5 for man-pages and lynx/elinks, and TTY4 for vim | 18:01 |
| TimeVirus | cool | 18:01 |
| JanusLi | it really freaked some kids out in my college classes--they thought i was trying to be Neo hacking into the matrix or some shit like that | 18:02 |
| TimeVirus | lol | 18:02 |
| JanusLi | "but but, where do you click to start up shit?" | 18:02 |
| JanusLi | lol, clicky-click-clicky | 18:03 |
| TimeVirus | noobs | 18:03 |
| TimeVirus | lol | 18:03 |
| JanusLi | The problems I had with it i think turned out to be related to the PM setting sin my BIOS | 18:03 |
| TimeVirus | xfwm4 = xf window manager 4 then, yes? | 18:04 |
| JanusLi | absolutely | 18:04 |
| TimeVirus | will remember that | 18:04 |
| JanusLi | lol, it isn't hard--part of why i love linux so much | 18:04 |
| TimeVirus | yes | 18:04 |
| JanusLi | it makes SOOOOO much more sense than M$ | 18:04 |
| TimeVirus | which I never got into since XP came out - it just ran too good and I spiraled into dumbness :) | 18:05 |
| brainwash_ | TimeVirus: if the problem is caused by screen locking, replace light-locker (default in 14.04 and up) with xscreensaver and try to reproduce the issue | 18:05 |
| brainwash_ | and remember | 18:05 |
| brainwash_ | !ot | 18:05 |
| ubottu | #xubuntu is the Xubuntu support channel, #xubuntu-devel for discussion regarding development of Xubuntu, and #xubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 18:05 |
| TimeVirus | ok will do brainwash_ | 18:06 |
| JanusLi | brainwash_ has a good solution, that seems to work for most | 18:06 |
| TimeVirus | rgr | 18:06 |
| JanusLi | mine was a BIOS setting | 18:06 |
| TimeVirus | I'll look at the BIOS too then see what I see | 18:07 |
| brainwash_ | also, I recommend reading http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/ | 18:07 |
| TimeVirus | kk | 18:07 |
| TimeVirus | Xubuntu that was able to hibernate from the git-go too so I've stuck with it | 18:08 |
| TimeVirus | woe that got mixed up | 18:08 |
| TimeVirus | english enough? | 18:08 |
| TimeVirus | lol | 18:08 |
| JanusLi | for me, I had to change the P1(POS)/P3 in the BIOS PM page | 18:08 |
| TimeVirus | kk | 18:08 |
| JanusLi | but I was using a Dell Core2 laptop | 18:09 |
| JanusLi | not sure what you're running | 18:09 |
| TimeVirus | same here Core2Duo U2500 Latitude D420 | 18:09 |
| TimeVirus | A-06 BIOS | 18:09 |
| TimeVirus | got a Latitude E6420 on the way with a decent i5 and 4GB RAM | 18:10 |
| TimeVirus | probably going to take that to 8 GB right away | 18:11 |
| TimeVirus | planning on Xen and GNS machine | 18:11 |
| TimeVirus | GNS3 | 18:11 |
| JanusLi | last machine I bought was a System76 laptop i5, 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD (now 256GB) | 18:11 |
| TimeVirus | well to carry around anyway | 18:11 |
| JanusLi | Xubuntu Studio 14.04.2 | 18:11 |
| JanusLi | & Slackware | 18:12 |
| TimeVirus | nice but I"m going with a dual HD | 18:12 |
| JanusLi | I need an optical to burn CD/DVD's for clients | 18:12 |
| TimeVirus | 1 TB hd + 120 ssd in one WD black | 18:12 |
| TimeVirus | yes that will allow me to keep the optical | 18:12 |
| JanusLi | damn, nice | 18:12 |
| TimeVirus | about $75 too iirc | 18:13 |
| knob | Hey guys... got a screensaver question. | 18:32 |
| knob | Or... well, not screensaver. I am not interested in a screensaver. I would be happy with having a blank screen after 5 minutes, and then have the screen turn off after 10 minutes. | 18:33 |
| knob | I tried with xscreensaver... yet it would not lock the screen. | 18:33 |
| knob | Can I achieve this with light-locker? And then have the Xfce Power Manager put the screen blank? | 18:34 |
| Unit193 | xscreensaver-command -prefs > Display Modes > Lock Screen After | 18:34 |
| knob | Or am I jumping to the wrong step? | 18:34 |
| knob | Unit193, on my way to check that out | 18:34 |
| Unit193 | You can use light-locker to lock the screen, yes. :P | 18:34 |
| knob | Ok... that side of light-locker is good to go. Yet when I open Xfce Power Manager.... I don't find the screensaver settings nowhere. | 18:35 |
| knob | I have the tabls General, System, Display and Devices | 18:36 |
| knob | The thing is, I think I a missing where... light-locker says that iw will automatically lock the session when the screensaver is activated. Yet a "screensaver" is not activated... it's Xfce Power Manager | 18:38 |
| Unit193 | knob: There's light-locker-settings, and in newer releases xfpm controls light-locker itself. | 18:40 |
| knob | Unit193, thanks for the help! Very much appreciated. Yet I am missing something basic. light-locker will lock the screen when the screensaver activates. Ok, cool. Yet xfpm does not have a screensaver. | 18:43 |
| knob | Or am I wrong with this? | 18:43 |
| Unit193 | light-locker is basically the screensaver. | 18:44 |
| knob | Unit193, doing some tests right now... First one, is all good to go. | 18:50 |
| knob | And that last explanation now makes sense. Now I get it. | 18:51 |
| knob | Will report back in 5 minutes... testing now. | 18:51 |
| knob | Unit193, working perfectly. Thank you. I asked because I had gone back and forth about 6 times... and still no dice. | 18:57 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 18:57 |
| knob | Well crap. Now I know why I switched to xscreensaver again. After unlocking the screen, chrome crashes. | 18:58 |
| Unit193 | \o/ | 18:58 |
| Unit193 | Err, I mean. That's terrible! | 18:58 |
| knob | https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=392777 | 18:59 |
| knob | that's the bug thingy... not sure what to do with it. | 18:59 |
