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