| TekknoDraykko | Good evening from North Carolina. Is there anyone home? | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| TekknoDraykko | Looks like a full house. | 00:13 |
| azzenovic_ | yo | 00:13 |
| TekknoDraykko | I'm a novice Xubuntu user and I have a question about changing the permissions on a file | 00:13 |
| TekknoDraykko | It seems that whenever I try to use chmod +x <filename> the permission doesn't change | 00:14 |
| knome | TekknoDraykko, in what sense? | 00:15 |
| azzenovic_ | how exactly? | 00:15 |
| TekknoDraykko | I've tried logging in using sudo -i but the result is that the executable permission does not get set | 00:15 |
| knome | how do you determine it doesn't? | 00:15 |
| TekknoDraykko | When I type: "ls -l" on the file name, the permission isn't set | 00:16 |
| knome | ok, so which xubuntu version are you using? | 00:16 |
| TekknoDraykko | Hold on, let me check... | 00:17 |
| TekknoDraykko | Xubuntu 14.04 | 00:19 |
| knome | using any PPAs? | 00:19 |
| TekknoDraykko | What's a PPA? | 00:20 |
| knome | then likely not... | 00:20 |
| TekknoDraykko | LOL! yep...that's a safe bet (unless it's something that's installed automatically with Xubuntu) | 00:21 |
| knome | nope. | 00:21 |
| knome | soo.. what's the file you are trying to make executable? | 00:21 |
| TekknoDraykko | Netbeans installation | 00:21 |
| TekknoDraykko | hold on let me get the filename | 00:22 |
| bazhang | !info netbeans | 00:22 |
| ubottu | Package netbeans does not exist in vivid | 00:22 |
| TekknoDraykko | I think I might have an idea...if it doesn't work, I'll be back. | 00:24 |

| vista__ | Hey, I am wondering, for how long is 14.04 still supported? | 08:04 |
| vista__ | I am thinking of downgrading | 08:04 |
| cfhowlett | vista__, 3 years | 08:05 |
| vista__ | haven't really had any problems in 14.10, but 15.04 so far has been a huge disappointment | 08:05 |
| === sorinello_ is now known as sorinello | ||
| brainwash | vista__: why? | 08:41 |
| brainwash | if there are problems, then you should consider filing bug reports. maybe even test the current development release (15.10 beta) | 08:42 |
| brainwash | to make sure that things get resolved | 08:42 |
| vista__ | oh hey brainwash, didn't see your message there | 09:42 |
| vista__ | well, my biggest problem is that I am unable to connect an external monitor after waking my laptop from sleep | 09:43 |
| brainwash | vista__: did you file a bug report (or search for an existing one)? | 09:58 |

| edufmass | hello..why #xubuntu-es is like private (invite only) ? | 15:09 |
| cfhowlett | edufmass, false. #xubuntu-es opens #ubuntu-es | 15:10 |
| edufmass | I can't join.. #xubuntu-es unable to join channel (invite only) | 15:11 |
| Unit193 | edufmass: That's because you're already in #ubuntu-es | 15:44 |
| edufmass | but if I leave #ubuntu-es and I do /join #xubuntu-es I get into #ubuntu-es and receive that msg | 15:57 |
| knome | edufmass, that's simply a redirect. there is no #xubuntu-es | 15:59 |

| melodie | hi | 18:03 |
| two_jays | welcome :) | 18:04 |
| melodie | I am about to perform an exercice to contribute to a NFO who brings computers to Africa once a year, with Xubuntu arranged for teachers in high schools. The aim for me is to make it work right the way they did last time with 12.04, but adapted to 14.04 | 18:05 |
| melodie | hi two_jays thanks | 18:05 |
| melodie | I need a little information | 18:05 |
| melodie | without having to seek for myself in the system if I can: | 18:05 |
| melodie | once the icons arranged the way we like on the desktop, in which Xfce config file is it located in the .config/xfce4 folder? | 18:06 |
| melodie | well never mind | 18:08 |
| melodie | I found | 18:08 |
| melodie | I thought it would be more difficult than that to find out | 18:08 |
| two_jays | well thats good! | 18:08 |
| two_jays | i really couldnt tell it anyway ;) | 18:08 |
| melodie | I installed mc and with F3 or F4 it's easy to look fast into the content of several files and folders | 18:13 |
| melodie | well files F4 or F3 and browser folders | 18:13 |
| two_jays | thats sounds interesting | 18:14 |
| melodie | I could not do most of the tasks I do in the computer without mc | 18:17 |
| melodie | it's the swiss knife so light and handy in the console | 18:17 |
| melodie | can be used as user or as root too, without any damage for the user sessions | 18:17 |
| === L0cust is now known as Guest80859 | ||
| melodie | can someone give me the output for "ls -l .config/xfce*" ? | 19:36 |
| melodie | without the quotes of course :) | 19:37 |

| melodie | this is not a sources.list | 23:51 |
| melodie | I don't even know what it is | 23:51 |
| xubuntu10w | that is what i recieve | 23:51 |
| xubuntu10w | when i put in: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list | 23:52 |
| melodie | sorry, you have messed up your system | 23:52 |
| melodie | any idea how you have done that? what commands did you use with "sudo" ? | 23:52 |
| xubuntu10w | not quite sure how i messed up my system | 23:52 |
| xubuntu10w | freshly installed did not change much | 23:53 |
| melodie | is your system recent? | 23:53 |
| xubuntu10w | yes, im just looking to install openvpn, however i cant read packages....any other way? | 23:53 |

| xubuntu10w | ok thank you so much. | 23:54 |
| melodie | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12226373/ | 23:55 |
| melodie | this is one from a new install | 23:55 |
| xubuntu10w | how can i go about this now | 23:55 |
| melodie | so if you need to add more sources, do it using Synaptic | 23:55 |
| xubuntu10w | new user sorry | 23:56 |
| melodie | from the menu Settings > Repository | 23:56 |
| melodie | sure, no problem, that's what chans are made for | 23:56 |
| melodie | asking help | 23:56 |
| melodie | among other things | 23:56 |
| xubuntu10w | cannot find repository | 23:57 |
| xubuntu10w | even when i search | 23:57 |
| melodie | so now you need to save the content of that page to "sources.list" and copy it to /etc/apt using sudo | 23:57 |
| melodie | xubuntu10w in Synaptic | 23:57 |
| melodie | xubuntu10w in Synaptic in the menus > | 23:57 |
| melodie | xubuntu10w in Synaptic in the menus > Settings | 23:57 |
| melodie | but first | 23:57 |
| melodie | you need to copy the sources.list to /etc/apt | 23:58 |
| melodie | then reload | 23:58 |
| melodie | avoid using "sudo apt-get" for a while, just use Synaptic | 23:58 |
| melodie | button "reload" and the other buttons next to it | 23:58 |
| melodie | sorry I have to go, I'm very tired now | 23:59 |
| xubuntu10w | im sorry i am a little confused | 23:59 |
| xubuntu10w | synaptic? | 23:59 |
| melodie | Synaptic : if you don't have it, install it | 23:59 |
| melodie | last sudo: | 23:59 |
| xubuntu10w | im sorry for taking ur time | 23:59 |
| melodie | "sudo apt-get install synaptic" | 23:59 |
| melodie | wonderful tool | 23:59 |
| melodie | you can also install it using the Ubuntu Software Center | 23:59 |
| melodie | that works too | 23:59 |
| xubuntu10w | E: Package 'synaptic' has no installation candidate | 23:59 |
