knob | Guys... I have a problem that's becoming a nuisance. Something happened on my Xubuntu 15.x laptop. Everytime I boot her up, she goes into the command line and I have to type systemctl default for her to go into the Window Manager (X?) | 12:53 |
knob | Any idea how to fix it? | 12:53 |

Lovich | Would it be worth switching to xubuntu for someone who is running ubuntu with xfce desktop? | 14:11 |
cfhowlett | Lovich, wouldn't be much different | 14:12 |
Lovich | That was my thinking as well | 14:12 |
GridCube | you would get support on this channel P: | 14:13 |
Lovich | Heheheh | 14:13 |
GridCube | and default theming and stuff like that that is pretty cool | 14:13 |
Lovich | Yeah been playing around with different environments this morning and xfce is pretty solidly my favorite | 14:14 |
GridCube | sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop :D | 14:15 |
pigeon- | good morning to all ! I have no problem to watch movies with VLC from the external hard drive. These are divX which I have downloaded (torrent). However, I can not play an original DVD. any suggestion? | 14:35 |
pigeon- | I have the xubuntu-restricted-extras installed, as well as libdvdread4 and libdvdnav4 | 14:39 |
GridCube | pigeon-: how do you "play" the dvds? | 14:41 |
GridCube | if i remember correctly, theres a different "open" on vlc just for disks | 14:41 |
pigeon- | I've tried two ways to lauch the DVD. First by double-clic on film, and I also try to lauch the VLC media player first, then go to media - open file, and select the movie | 14:42 |
pigeon- | yes, u are rite, thee is in fact 'open' in media, to open the movie | 14:42 |
GridCube | yeah, but inst there like "media > open disk" or something like that | 14:42 |
GridCube | :) try that option | 14:43 |
pigeon- | okee, will try it now,,,,,, | 14:43 |
pigeon- | hi GridCube | 15:18 |
GridCube | oi pigeon- | 15:19 |
pigeon- | okee, the way you suggested is the RIGHT way to do it | 15:19 |
pigeon- | however, | 15:19 |
pigeon- | I've tried 6 different DVD (original ones) | 15:19 |
pigeon- | and some work fine, however, some don't want to play | 15:20 |
GridCube | region issues? | 15:20 |
pigeon- | hummm | 15:20 |
pigeon- | all my DVD are North American | 15:20 |
GridCube | no idea anyway | 15:20 |
GridCube | i have only played a dvd once | 15:20 |
pigeon- | okee, thanks for your help | 15:21 |
GridCube | maybe the dvds are scratched? | 15:21 |
pigeon- | open disc is the proper way to go | 15:21 |
GridCube | or the reader is not clean? | 15:21 |
GridCube | or maybe the format is unusual? or maybe vlc cant properly reproduce it? | 15:21 |
GridCube | no idea | 15:21 |
pigeon- | ok | 15:21 |
pigeon- | thanks | 15:22 |
GridCube | have you tried xine? | 15:22 |
pigeon- | is xine a media player? | 15:22 |
cfhowlett | if VCL isn't reading it, you might be SOL | 15:22 |
knome | i would run vlc from the command line and see what the output says | 15:22 |
knome | "$x doesn't play dvd's" doesn't help at all with debugging | 15:23 |
GridCube | !info xine | pigeon- | 15:23 |
ubottu | pigeon-: Package xine does not exist in vivid | 15:23 |
GridCube | o: | 15:23 |
GridCube | it doesnt exists | 15:23 |
GridCube | !info gxine | 15:24 |
ubottu | gxine (source: gxine): the xine video player, GTK+/Gnome user interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.908-3.1ubuntu1 (vivid), package size 366 kB, installed size 1435 kB | 15:24 |
GridCube | but as knome said, try to figure out whats wrong first | 15:25 |
knome | pigeon-, what's the command line output for vlc when you insert a dvd and try to play it? | 15:25 |
pigeon- | I see that xine video player is availabe from the ubuntu-software-center | 15:25 |
pigeon- | hi knome.... i did not try to lauch VLC from the terminal... When I first inserted the DVD in dvdrum, the parole media player tried to play the dvd, but many times, parole media player is not good, so I simply x out | 15:28 |
pigeon- | then i lauch VLC | 15:28 |
knome | pigeon-, then try to launch vlc from the terminal, please | 15:28 |
knome | "$player doesn't play dvd's" is unhelpful | 15:28 |
pigeon- | okeee, can u tell me what is the COMMAND to lauch vlc from terminal? | 15:28 |
knome | vlc | 15:29 |
pigeon- | ok, minute plz | 15:29 |

pigeon- | no, but i can try it again. plz wait | 15:48 |
pigeon- | got some messages in my terminal, which I will poste in http://paste.ubuntu.com for you to check out.... plz wait | 15:51 |
pigeon- | here is the url link | 15:52 |
pigeon- | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11773973/ | 15:52 |
knome | ok, so you don't actually have the encrypted DVD support installed, as you can see | 15:53 |
knome | run: | 15:53 |
knome | sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 15:53 |
pigeon- | yes, thank will try to install that | 15:54 |
pigeon- | okee, it:s installed.... now I will do the same test to see if Vlc will play the dvd | 15:56 |
pigeon- | okee, knome... my DVD is working now, however that was lots of stuff appearing in my terminal. Should you have a look at this? | 15:58 |
knome | pigeon-, nope, that's normal | 16:00 |
knome | pigeon-, you don't need to open vlc from the terminal, that was just for debugging purposes | 16:00 |
pigeon- | okee, I will do the same TESTS with three other original DVD that did not work before | 16:00 |
pigeon- | Thank you for your help; much appreciated | 16:00 |
knome | you're welcome | 16:01 |
pigeon- | somebody else, I think it was GridCube suggested something about xine media player.... Do you see any advantage for me to install it now? It is available on ubuntu-software-center | 16:04 |
knome | pigeon-, no; you don't need to install xine | 16:04 |
pigeon- | ok thanks | 16:04 |
knome | and fwiw, parole should be able to play the DVDs now as well | 16:04 |

knome | again, you're welcome | 16:09 |
GridCube | how would i launch a secondary xserver from a tty? xstart -- :1 is not doing it :/ | 18:23 |
genii | GridCube: Use something like xephyr or xnest | 18:52 |
GridCube | genii: that wound not open a second xserver on a different F# | 18:53 |
GridCube | /s/wound/would | 18:53 |
genii | GridCube: You can't launch another Xsession which uses the same monitors from another console. They are in use by the existing X session. | 18:58 |
GridCube | thats new | 18:58 |
GridCube | so | 18:58 |
genii | GridCube: Sorry, actually use something like: sudo startx -- :1 vt1 (space between -- and : also vt# is the console to try running it on ) . | 19:07 |
GridCube | nope | 19:11 |
GridCube | nevermind | 19:11 |
GridCube | i'll figure later | 19:11 |

Jesuwope | If I download an .apt file (such as with current versions of adobe flash), how would I go about installing that in Xubuntu? Do I type sudo apt install filename, sudo install filename, or what | 22:41 |
knome | have you tried installin the adobe flash player from the software repositories? | 22:41 |
Jesuwope | I don't know where they are | 22:41 |
Jesuwope | I just installed Xubuntu yesterday | 22:41 |
knome | open ubuntu software center from the menu | 22:42 |
drc | Jesuwope: "that graphical Xubuntu software install app" knows where to find them. | 22:42 |
knome | Jesuwope, http://docs.xubuntu.org/1504/C/managing-applications.html | 22:42 |
Jesuwope | ok | 22:42 |
Jesuwope | I must say... I have used many distros over the years but I like Ubuntu the best | 22:44 |
Jesuwope | It is really elite | 22:44 |
Jesuwope | In addition... I was having a lot of trouble with this acer aspire computer in CentOS and Fedora, it wasn't working with my networking card | 22:44 |
Jesuwope | I think it's the XFCE that works | 22:45 |
Jesuwope | I had tried Manjaro | 22:45 |
knome | xfce doesn't make hardware work or break, but i'm glad to hear xubuntu works for you | 22:45 |
Jesuwope | It worked with my internet chipset but it had strange problems and it kept losing boot ability and would say "could not find login/splash screen"... was no good | 22:45 |
Jesuwope | well I don't know if it was gnome or not | 22:45 |
Jesuwope | that was doing it | 22:45 |
Jesuwope | because there were alot of windowing problems too | 22:46 |
Jesuwope | with gnome and connecting | 22:46 |
Jesuwope | if it ISN'T the XFCE, then kudos again to Xubuntu | 22:46 |
Jesuwope | thanks for the help | 22:46 |
Jesuwope | I'm out | 22:46 |
Jesuwope | have a nice day | 22:46 |
Guido2 | Hee, I have a problem with my WiFi settings. In one Netwwork the acces paswoord has to be changed from time to time on my laptop. If I open the settings of the network i can change it, but for some reason i can not save the changes. how can i solve this problem? | 22:50 |
Jesuwope | I am having trouble with my power management settings. I set all the variables to "Never", so that the screen won't blank and so that there wouldn't be any sleep or hibernate unless I close the computer lid and yet it still acts the same. Can anyone help me to know why? | 23:59 |
