[00:12] <TekknoDraykko> Good evening from North Carolina. Is there anyone home?
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <TekknoDraykko> It seems that whenever I try to use chmod +x <filename> the permission doesn't change
[00:15] <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?
[00:16] <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?
[00:17] <TekknoDraykko> Hold on, let me check...
[00:19] <TekknoDraykko> Xubuntu 14.04
[00:19] <knome> using any PPAs?
[00:20] <TekknoDraykko> What's a PPA?
[00:20] <knome> then likely not...
[00:21] <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
[00:22] <TekknoDraykko> hold on let me get the filename
[00:22] <bazhang> !info netbeans
[00:24] <TekknoDraykko> I think I might have an idea...if it doesn't work, I'll be back.
[08:04] <vista__> Hey, I am wondering, for how long is 14.04 still supported?
[08:04] <vista__> I am thinking of downgrading
[08:05] <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
[08:41] <brainwash> vista__: why?
[08:42] <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
[09:42] <vista__> oh hey brainwash, didn't see your message there
[09:43] <vista__> well, my biggest problem is that I am unable to connect an external monitor after waking my laptop from sleep
[09:58] <brainwash> vista__: did you file a bug report (or search for an existing one)?
[12:13] <xubuntu20w> hello
[12:14] <xubuntu20w> I have a problem
[12:14] <xubuntu20w> help!
[12:15] <mrkramps> xubuntu20w, ask a question
[12:28] <xubuntu44d> hello guys
[12:28] <xubuntu20w> hello
[12:28] <xubuntu44d> truying to install xubuntu but getting following error
[12:29] <xubuntu20w> after  system starts I have no lan enabled. I need to click and enable it: 'enable networking'
[12:29] <xubuntu44d> errno input/output error

[12:29] <xubuntu44d> *errrno 5
[12:31] <xubuntu44d> is anobody there?
[12:36] <xubuntu20w> it's ridiculous!
[15:09] <edufmass> hello..why #xubuntu-es is like private (invite only) ?
[15:10] <cfhowlett> edufmass, false.  #xubuntu-es opens #ubuntu-es
[15:11] <edufmass> I can't join.. #xubuntu-es unable to join channel (invite only)
[15:44] <Unit193> edufmass: That's because you're already in #ubuntu-es
[15:57] <edufmass> but if I leave #ubuntu-es and I do /join #xubuntu-es I get into #ubuntu-es and receive that msg
[15:59] <knome> edufmass, that's simply a redirect. there is no #xubuntu-es
[16:26] <edufmass> knome ohh ok, thanks!

[18:03] <melodie> hi
[18:04] <two_jays> welcome :)
[18:05] <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:
[18:06] <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?
[18:08] <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 ;)
[18:13] <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
[18:14] <two_jays> thats sounds interesting
[18:17] <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
[19:36] <melodie> can someone give me the output for "ls -l .config/xfce*" ?
[19:37] <melodie> without the quotes of course :)
[23:38] <xubuntu10w> i am unable to update? sudo apt-get update does not work
[23:39] <xubuntu10w> i recieve: E: Type 'configuration/variant' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list E: The list of sources could not be read.
[23:39] <xubuntu10w> i have a malformed entry in line 1
[23:44] <xubuntu10w> any help?
[23:47] <melodie> hi xubuntu10w
[23:48] <melodie> can you paste the content of your sources.list ?
[23:48] <melodie> ie : "pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[23:48] <melodie> in the console, then send the url here
[23:49] <melodie> I won't be around for long xubuntu10w
[23:49] <melodie> it's late here
[23:49] <xubuntu10w> ok
[23:50] <xubuntu10w> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12226329/
[23:51] <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
[23:52] <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
[23:53] <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] <melodie> yes, you need a new sources.list file
[23:53] <xubuntu10w> how can i fix my system
[23:53] <melodie> just check it, incase you didn't type correctly
[23:54] <melodie> first, which version of Xubuntu do you have?
[23:54] <xubuntu10w> ok i will copy and paste again
[23:54] <melodie> LTS ? or more recent?
[23:54] <xubuntu10w> 14.04.03
[23:54] <melodie> ok
[23:54] <melodie> I'll paste a sources.list for you just give me a minute
[23:54] <xubuntu10w> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12226365/
[23:54] <xubuntu10w> ok thank you so much.
[23:55] <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
[23:56] <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
[23:57] <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
[23:58] <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
[23:59] <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] <xubuntu10w> what i recieve^
