[00:47] <wildboy211> Hi, my laptop no longer connects to the wifi, and all my wifi connections are gone, and it wont allow me to manually create a new one. I can connect to wifi on my phones and other PC's. Im on xubuntu 14.04
[00:47] <wildboy211> iwlist wlan0 reads: Failed to read scan data: Network is down.
[00:49] <wildboy211> If i try to do service networking reload i get "Job is not running: networking", and if i try to do service networking start, i get "Job is already running: networking"
[00:51] <pleia2> when I've seen that it's my wifi card going sideways and I've had to reboot
[00:52] <pleia2> happens on the netbook I got in 2008, I think it's just going bad :\
[00:53] <wildboy211_> ive tried rebooting a few times
[00:54] <wildboy211_> i cannot manually create any connections which is weird
[02:18] <xubuntu17i> hi
[04:13] <datacrata> hello people
[04:13] <xangua> and creatures of the night
[04:14] <datacrata> can anyone tell me is there anything in the repository that will help me get better graphics?
[04:14] <xangua> !details
[04:16] <datacrata> well i want a bit more color, most pages on my browser seem pale...I do not see anywhere in the desktop settings where to adjust color an dpi
[04:20] <datacrata> ok...no one available?
[04:23] <nikolam> hm
[06:29] <MoL0ToV> hi to all! my ubuntu desktop shown only one monitor resolution. howto add all other native resolutions?
[09:11] <itcha2> Oh bother! I just reinstalled Xubuntu, but I didn't format my hard drive. My pulseaudio is still broken, and I still can't login! :'( Please help me fix this crucial dilemma.
[09:28] <itcha2> Oh bother! I just reinstalled Xubuntu, but I didn't format my hard drive. My pulseaudio is still broken, and I still can't login! :'( Please help me fix this crucial problem.
[09:33] <knome> itcha2, how is pulseaudio broken? how can you not login?
[09:33] <knome> details please,
[10:01] <itcha2> pulseaudio won't start, and before, after I logged in, the login prompt would disappear and nothing would happen. since reinstalling Xubuntu, the login prompt just disappears for a second and then comes back. the pulseaudio issues have been happening for some time, but the login thing happened first when I started Xubuntu from grub on a USB.
[10:02] <knome> have you tried creating another user?
[10:03] <itcha2> I might try checking the ownership on my home folder
[10:03] <knome> just try creating another user first
[10:03] <itcha2> ok.
[10:03] <knome> if that fixes the issue, then you can move to debugging what's wrong with your user
[10:05] <itcha2> alright.
[16:00] <recon_lap> wonders if firefox will ever be fixed
[16:04] <vrkalak> recon_lap, try the FF Forums > http://forums.mozillazine.org/
[16:04] <recon_lap> vrkalak: can't get a bloody error message out of it, just crashes with no details
[16:05] <vrkalak> http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38&sid=cd0b1a80b7759ca722541c80ca961955
[16:05] <vrkalak> recon_lap, i don't use FF - sorry
[16:05] <recon_lap> and it's not just firefox, thunderbird has the same behavior, think it's the flash plugin
[16:06] <recon_lap> I've stopped using it to, but every time I bloody click on a link in IRC FF comes up by default :(
[16:07] <recon_lap> like the link you just posted, and FF immediately crashed
[16:58] <smerrlin> how can i change the keyboard layout in the login screen? The language setting in the top right corner does not work apparently
[17:08] <smerrlin> i found a solution for my problem "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" does the trick. Still it's pretty stupid that xubuntu ignores the keyboard setting selected in the login screen
[17:29] <recon_lap> looking into a system for web surfing for a blind person, anyone with knowledge on the subject got recommendations ?
[17:30] <bazhang> as in text to speech apps and so forth?
[17:31] <bynarie> anyone know why i would keep receiving a blank software update screen like so - https://bynarie.com/update.png
[17:31] <recon_lap> yes, but he's pretty blind and not a computer user. was hoping for something that was easy to use.
[17:32] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility
[17:32] <holstein> recon_lap: i had checked out vinux and other pre-builts in the past.. all the tools are in the repos, AFAIK
[17:32] <holstein> this would potentially be a prebuilt setup http://vinuxproject.org/ though, not officially ubuntu
[17:33] <bazhang> thats the ubuntu related one, there s a not supported here thing called 'vinux' no idea if its maintained or anything
[17:33] <recon_lap> just tried emacspeak , it seems to work, but it's got me confused and I can both see and am a computer nerd .
[17:33] <bazhang> jinx
[17:33] <bazhang> emacs and new users, not such a great mix
[17:34] <holstein> i would say, it would be a little work,but, one could look at a few pre-builts like vinux, and implent that into a stock ubuntu setup..
[17:35] <holstein> or, it may be beneficial, *if* there is a community around such a spinoff, for that user to be part of that community, for support.. specific to the work flow
[17:35] <recon_lap> thx, I'll give vinux a go, seems like what I'm after
[17:36] <recon_lap> holstein: as for porting to ubuntu, I'd probably just put the effort into improving vinux
[17:37] <holstein> oh sure. you can choose that route. just depends. im just pointing out, its not in the scope of support here, or any of the official ubuntu channels or avenues.. which, are typically large, and well traveled
[17:42] <recon_lap> maybe, I'll have to spend a bit of time trying out whats there. just have a gut feeling that a blind OS is just so different from the normal that it really should have it's own distro if it ever hopes to be really accessible for blind people.
[17:45] <bazhang> did you read the accessibility link given yet?
[17:45] <bazhang> its not hard at all
[17:54] <recon_lap> well, going to try a few liveUSBs and see whats what, thx for the links
[18:29] <Joito> Since no luck configuring LTPS in Xubuntu. Is there a way to copy user from one pc to another . I dont wish to write the same users in each pc:(
[18:30] <Joito> im I in the wrong chat?
[18:31] <recon_lap> Joito: no, this is xubuntu , maybe you just a bit impatient. this is IRC
[18:31] <Joito> ? not really yesterday i stayed all day and no answer
[18:31] <Joito> just benn honest
[18:32] <Joito> but cool
[18:35] <recon_lap> Joito: probably not a lot of xubuntu people used LTPS, have you tried asking in the main ubuntu channel, lot more people in there
[18:35] <Joito> yes
[19:44] <Voyage_> How to adjust volume in xubuntu and switch between different audio devices?
[19:52] <yoLo_> holstein:
[19:52] <yoLo_> :|
[19:55] <yoLo_> where site at the repository does xubuntu gets its python 2.7.9 packages ?
[19:55] <yoLo_> which site* ?
[20:09] <Voyage_> How to adjust volume in xubuntu and switch between different audio devices?
[20:44] <yoLo_> holstein:
[20:45] <yoLo_> pencilandpaper:  can i get a pastebin of the xubuntu 15.04 repository list /
[23:33] <yoLo_> seriously guys  i need the xubuntu repository source lists
[23:33] <yoLo_> anyone ?
[23:35] <holstein> yoLo_: its the ubuntu one
[23:35] <holstein> http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[23:36] <Unit193> Ehh..
[23:37] <Unit193> All I can find is a sample for 12.04: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/sample/sources.list
[23:38] <knome> i wonder what happened before the sources list was lost.
[23:38] <holstein> or, how it was edited.. yoLo_, depending on what has happened, simply changing sources may not "fix" an issue you are having..
[23:39] <Unit193> There's also sometimes a backup file.
[23:40] <yoLo_> holstein: unfortunately i wasn't able to to use xubuntu for my project
[23:41] <holstein> im unclear why you need the xubuntu repo list then? the sources are the default ubuntu sources that all the official flavors use
[23:41] <yoLo_> 15.04 and Debian 8 developers have changed something in /dev that in doesn't suit my project
[23:42] <knome> and... how do you think using the (x)ubuntu repositories but not a (x)ubuntu install would help you to avoid that?
[23:42] <yoLo_> holstein: i need it to install python 2.7.9 and 3.4.3 without breaking my head in installing it manually
[23:42] <holstein> you will want to install it manually
[23:43] <yoLo_> knome i only require it to install he latest version of python for elementary linux
[23:43] <holstein> you dont want to add the ubuntu sources like that, to debian, or to an older version of ubuntu
[23:43] <holstein> elemetaryOS? they have a distro installer.. also, there should be simpler ppa's for python
[23:44] <yoLo_> holstein: their installations are outdated
[23:45] <knome> yoLo_, you will not get a package from the (x)ubuntu repositories that will "just work" with elementary os which is based on an older ubuntu release
[23:46] <knome> yoLo_, so to save your (and our) time, stop trying to do that
[23:46] <holstein> well, do it if you like, but, its not supported, and will surely break things..
[23:47] <holstein> its a rather bad idea..
[23:47] <knome> elementary os is not supported to begin with (at least on this channel), so...
[23:47] <yoLo_> knome: fine
[23:47] <knome> i don't think it's any easier than to build python manually tbh..
[23:47] <holstein> it would be much more constructive to start at the beginning of the story with what exactly you are trying to accomplish ,in general.. could be, someone has done what you are trying to do, and has a few options for you
[23:48] <yoLo_> i was going through simple instructions to build a device node for serial rfcomm
