[01:07] <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?
[01:13] <craigbass76> Like a config file I can vi or something?
[01:19] <drc> It looks like home/drc/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/pointers.xml is the file you might want to l look at.
[01:20] <drc> s/the/a/
[01:21] <drc> It's the only one I can easily find that appears to deal with input devices.
[04:19] <BrotherMaggot> howdy, how do you install vlc-srpos-plugin in 15.10 ?  it requires libvlccore7.
[04:22] <Unit193> BrotherMaggot: You rebuild it against the libvlccore-dev in 15.04/Vivid.
[04:23] <BrotherMaggot> so compile the vlc source and sneak in an older libvlccore ?
[04:24] <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
[04:37] <BrotherMaggot> woohoo that worked.  just installed libvlc-dev and compiled the srpos source and installed.  it works in vlc now.  Thank You
[04:38] <Unit193> Sure.
[04:39] <BrotherMaggot> good timezone all
[07:04] <liquidsnake> anyone awake
[07:05] <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
[07:06] <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
[07:07] <liquidsnake> it still has regular old DDR  ram in it
[07:08] <liquidsnake> well i was just checking to see whats up. have a good night/morning
[10:39] <KW4HK> newb here.  i'm getting unresolvable dependencies when trying to install wine or steam (linux version) on 15.04
[10:40] <knome> are you using PPA's or something else that is off-center?
[10:41] <KW4HK> nope.  i did have the wine ppa but i unchecked that.
[10:42] <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
[10:43] <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
[10:44] <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
[10:45] <knome> ok
[10:45] <KW4HK> thnx for answering
[16:02] <xubuntu347> hei guys i got a problem with xubuntu installation could i ask here?
[16:02] <drc> yes
[16:03] <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?
[16:04] <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
[16:05] <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?
[16:06] <drc> just out of curiosity, which verson of xubuntu were you using?
[16:07] <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?
[16:08] <xubuntu347> i downloaded like 2 days ago
[16:08] <drc> the beta2, the daily image or what?
[16:09] <xubuntu347> uhm sec
[16:09] <xubuntu347> the iso image: xubuntu 14.04.2-desktop-i386.iso
[16:10] <_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?
[16:11] <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.
[16:12] <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
[16:15] <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.
[16:18] <xubuntu347> 1) md5sum the iso
[16:18] <xubuntu347> can u explain?
[16:19] <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
[16:20] <xubuntu347> boot off means: insert the pendrive and reboot the system?
[16:20] <drc> yes
[16:20] <xubuntu347> ok im doing, sec
[16:21] <xubuntu347> black screen, waiting for loading
[16:21] <xubuntu347> i pressed ESC and selected pendrive
[16:23] <xubuntu347> still black screen, with only a _
[16:23] <xubuntu347> doing nothing
[16:24] <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 :)
[16:25] <xubuntu347> lol
[16:25] <xubuntu347> so, its doing nothing.. still black screen
[16:27] <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.
[16:28] <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
[16:36] <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
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <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
[16:39] <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?
[16:40] <xubuntu347> linux mint u mean? i have it installed on my notebook yes
[16:41] <xubuntu347> a question: the pendrive has to be ntfs, fat32 or what?
[16:42] <drc> with unetbootin?  fat32
[16:42] <xubuntu347> oh maybe its thee problem?
[16:42] <xubuntu347> it was ntfs
[16:43] <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
[16:44] <drc> I have to run now, sorry...hope it works out.
[16:45] <xubuntu347> thanks bye :)
[17:32] <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?
[17:46] <JanusLi> @TimeVirus: on Xubuntu? what are you seeing when you enter the password? is XFWM4 not loading up?
[17:48] <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. ...
[17:49] <TimeVirus> I can tell when its gone wrong because the wallpaper also disappears to black screen and the desktop will not come up.
[17:50] <TimeVirus> weather or not XFWM4 is loading up or not, I don't know
[17:51] <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
[17:52] <TimeVirus> JanusLi, ^
[17:53] <JanusLi> XFWM4 is the actual process for the Xubuntu Window manager
[17:54] <JanusLi> i am assuming you are using a current version of Xubuntu
[17:55] <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
[17:56] <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
[17:57] <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
[17:58] <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
[17:59] <JanusLi> you have 7 TTY's on a default build--the GUI is started normally on 7
[18:00] <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
[18:01] <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
[18:02] <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?"
[18:03] <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
[18:04] <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$
[18:05] <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
[18:06] <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
[18:07] <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
[18:08] <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
[18:09] <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
[18:10] <TimeVirus> got a Latitude E6420 on the way with a decent i5 and 4GB RAM
[18:11] <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
[18:12] <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
[18:13] <TimeVirus> about $75 too iirc
[18:32] <knob> Hey guys... got a screensaver question.
[18:33] <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.
[18:34] <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
[18:35] <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.
[18:36] <knob> I have the tabls General, System, Display and Devices
[18:38] <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
[18:40] <Unit193> knob: There's light-locker-settings, and in newer releases xfpm controls light-locker itself.
[18:43] <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?
[18:44] <Unit193> light-locker is basically the screensaver.
[18:50] <knob> Unit193, doing some tests right now... First one, is all good to go.
[18:51] <knob> And that last explanation now makes sense. Now I get it.
[18:51] <knob> Will report back in 5 minutes... testing now.
[18:57] <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.
[18:58] <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!
[18:59] <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.
