[00:36] <auscompgeek> cosmo: not a wm/de issue.
[00:37] <auscompgeek> cosmo: you should install the virtualbox guest additions from the ubuntu repos
[00:46] <cosmo> auscompgeek, in the VM or the Host OS? Host OS is Debian if that makes any difference.
[00:47] <auscompgeek> cosmo: in the VM, of course :P
[00:47] <cosmo> thanks!
[00:47] <auscompgeek> installing guest additions in the host … won't do much.
[00:47] <auscompgeek> np
[00:48] <cosmo> yeah, it gets murky
[00:48] <cosmo> to me anyway, still getting used to this. i'd like to have a VM per workspace.
[00:49] <cosmo> but these tiny screens man
[00:49] <cosmo> grumbles
[01:01] <cosmo> yesss it works!
[01:02] <cosmo> McDuh, had to install the broken packages.
[01:02] <cosmo> or reinstall i guess.
[01:09] <cosmo> i tunneled my tunnel, fun
[01:10] <auscompgeek> `apt-get install -f` fixes those :P
[01:11] <cosmo> what is the proper term for those '-f' things? arguments, identifiers
[01:12] <auscompgeek> if an argument starts with '-', it's usually a switch
[01:13] <cosmo> so "call aptitude, install/change packages, that are broken" something like that...
[01:14] <cosmo> operator operator, get me line 2
[01:14] <cosmo> get me outta here morpheus
[01:15] <cosmo> i'm more of a political bent than technical, i'm good with people
[01:15] <cosmo> computers are fun though. i'm trying to learn how to set up a secure-ish system for cryptocurrency use
[02:50] <Brontx> Small question about Thunar: Is there a way to adjust the column justification in the detailed list view? The Size column is right-justified and all the others are left-justified. It's a small thing but it's been annoying me. Thanks.
[05:44] <xubuntu94w> hi there. I am using xubuntu 14.04
[05:44] <xubuntu94w> LTS , and I have no longer support
[05:44] <cfhowlett> 14.04 is still supported.
[05:44] <xubuntu94w> the US and Main servers are not working
[05:44] <ObrienDave> try a different server
[05:45] <xubuntu94w> I used select best server botton and also does not work
[05:45] <ObrienDave> select "other" and try the one closest to you
[05:45] <xubuntu94w> I can have server from all over the world but it is in vain
[05:46] <ObrienDave> how long has this been going on?
[05:46] <xubuntu94w> since the last year
[05:47] <xubuntu94w> 2 years remain
[05:47] <xubuntu94w> the release finishes on 2017
[05:47] <cfhowlett> you're telling us NOW that you haven't had an active repo since LAST YEAR??
[05:47] <ObrienDave> do you have ALL of the standard repos enabled?
[05:48] <xubuntu94w> one week ago I can not have the updates
[05:48] <xubuntu94w> working for one year good
[05:48] <ObrienDave> where do you live?
[05:48] <xubuntu94w> PERU
[05:49] <ObrienDave> have you tried the chile servers?
[05:50] <xubuntu94w> is there anyproblem?
[05:50] <xubuntu94w> not yet
[05:50] <ObrienDave> keep trying servers in neighboring countries
[05:50] <ObrienDave> make sure ALL standard repos are enabled
[05:50] <xubuntu94w> I remembered I install debian to my brother's computer using server from texas and running great
[05:52] <ObrienDave> keep trying servers in neighboring countries
[05:52] <xubuntu94w> just appeared a new message : xubuntu 14.10 is now available but you have 14.04
[05:53] <cfhowlett> xubuntu94w, is LONG TERM SUPPORT. 14.10 is supported for 9 months
[05:53] <ObrienDave> 14.04 is good until 2017
[05:53] <xubuntu94w> yeah, why is not working then?
[05:53] <ObrienDave> but you knew that :)
[05:54] <ObrienDave> i don't know. try asking in #ubuntu. many more people to help there
[05:54] <xubuntu94w> I have tried one server from Chile, it does not work either,
[05:55] <ObrienDave> what happens?
[05:55] <xubuntu94w> but still remain 2
[05:55] <xubuntu94w> message :Failled to download repository information
[05:55] <xubuntu94w> W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/samrog131/ppa/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[05:56] <ObrienDave> it's quite possible there is just a bad connection from your area to the servers. ALL of them seems unlikely
[05:56] <xubuntu94w> the hell is going on?
[05:56] <ObrienDave> ok, that's a PPA issue
[05:56] <cfhowlett> ObrienDave, dns?
[05:56] <ObrienDave> probably
[05:56] <xubuntu94w> I have openDNS to block porno
[05:57] <ObrienDave> what are your DNS addresses?
[05:57] <ObrienDave> try the google addresses. 8.8.8.8    8.8.4.4
[05:57] <xubuntu94w> dns SERVER : 208.67.222.123, 208.67.220.123
[05:58] <ObrienDave> having two addresses the same is not usually a good idea
[05:59] <xubuntu94w> THEy are not the same, look at it well
[05:59] <ObrienDave> oops, i see the difference. sorry
[05:59] <xubuntu94w> should I change them in order to get the upgrade¿
[06:00] <ObrienDave> you can try. then change back after
[06:00] <xubuntu94w> what about the google dns ?
[06:00] <ObrienDave> it's also possible that PPA does not exist anymore
[06:01] <xangua> what PPA¿
[06:01] <ObrienDave> go through your PPA list and disable the one giving you trouble
[06:01] <xubuntu94w> but it is from the U:S: server, how can not exist anymore?
[06:01] <ObrienDave> PPAs are NOT from the same server
[06:01] <xubuntu94w> how can I know the trouble one'?
[06:02] <ObrienDave> https://launchpad.net/~samrog131/+ppa-packages
[06:03] <ObrienDave> look up the address in the error message :)
[06:03] <ObrienDave> if any ONE PPA errors out, you can NOT complete the updates
[06:03] <ObrienDave> you have a PPA issue
[06:04] <cfhowlett> ObrienDave, disable the ppa temporarily
[06:04] <ObrienDave> that's what i'm trying to get him to do :)
[06:04] <xubuntu94w> I have it unchecked now
[06:04] <xubuntu94w> then?
[06:04] <ObrienDave> take over please, i need a potty break
[06:05] <ObrienDave> cfhowlett,
[06:05] <cfhowlett> xubuntu94w, reload/refresh then
[06:06] <xubuntu94w> ubuntu sofwatre center does not show up anymore
[06:06] <xubuntu94w> using the fucking terminal :D
[06:07] <cfhowlett> xubuntu94w, profanity >>> you get added to my /ignore file
[06:08] <xubuntu94w> bad app disabled and server from chile , think is working now, by the moment
[06:09] <xubuntu94w> oh that is great after a terrible week
[06:11] <xubuntu94w> thank you guys :D hope you have a great time :D
[06:11] <ObrienDave> most welcome
[08:48] <slani> hello. after update 15.04 my sound stop working (hp elitebook 8530p). Can someone please help me?
[11:50] <xubuntu37d> test
[12:43] <slani_> 1/wc
[16:31] <nigaa> hi
[16:31] <nigaa> is there anyone
[16:32] <cfhowlett> nigaa, change your nick.
[21:01] <LiverWurst> hello
[21:02] <LiverWurst> xubuntu is essentially the same as ubuntu but the wm correct?
[21:04] <pleia2> no, in addition to coming with a different desktop manager (and window manager), it also ships with different default applications
[21:05] <ObrienDave> but just about anything taht runs un Ubuntu will run in Xubuntu
[21:05] <ObrienDave> *that
[21:05] <pleia2> yeah, pretty much
[21:05] <pleia2> Xubuntu and Ubuntu share software repositories, so everything is installable in both
[21:05] <ObrienDave> dang, fat fingers today ;P
[21:06] <pleia2> a Unity scope probably won't work ;) but LibreOffice will (using it as we speak!)
[21:06] <LiverWurst> thinking about putting it on the laptop and was wondering if i could use the ati drivers that you can download for ubuntu
[21:06] <pleia2> oh yeah, that kind of stuff is all the same
[21:06] <LiverWurst> ok great
[21:06] <ObrienDave> i'm running a laptop with Intel drivers. works fine here
[21:07] <LiverWurst> other than surfing web, netflix and google play, i might try to get STO working on it with wine
[21:07] <LiverWurst> star trek online
[21:08] <ObrienDave> you'll probably be better off going for the dual boot
[21:09] <LiverWurst> nah..im trying to move away from windows
[21:09] <ObrienDave> well, wine will never do as well performance wise,
[21:09] <LiverWurst> running fedora 22 on it right now and i feel like it runs a little clunky
[21:10] <LiverWurst> i know
[21:11] <LiverWurst> the reason im choosing xubuntu is specifically for the ati driver and i dont want unity
[21:11] <ObrienDave> Unity is the reason most of us chose Xubuntu ;P
[21:11] <LiverWurst> heh
[21:11] <knome> ObrienDave, ummm...
[21:12] <LiverWurst> ok dd is done..thanks for the info
[21:12] <ObrienDave> welcome
