[00:00] <xubuntu10w> and ubuntu software center closes itself after seconds...not sure why
[00:00] <melodie> you need to first install the sources.list I gave you
[00:00] <melodie> because you don't have a working sources.list file
[00:00] <melodie> this is the first point to solve
[00:00] <xangua> Install the sources list?
[00:00] <xubuntu10w> ok i have the list copied
[00:00] <xangua> xubuntu10w: what ubuntu release do you use?
[00:00] <xubuntu10w> install to /etc/apt correct?
[00:01] <xubuntu10w> 14.04.03 @xangua
[00:01] <melodie> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12226373/plain/
[00:01] <melodie> yes
[00:01] <melodie> xangua it's ok
[00:01] <melodie> xubuntu10w you install it as "sources.list"
[00:01] <melodie> don't mess with the syntax, write the word correctly
[00:02] <xubuntu10w> ok i will paste the new source list to a new folder in /etc/apt
[00:02] <melodie> you need to save it in your home, then from there "sudo cp sources.list /etc/apt"
[00:02] <melodie> you can't do it directly
[00:02] <melodie> because of rights and permissions
[00:02] <melodie> you don't paste it into a new folder in /etc/apt either:
[00:03] <xubuntu10w> ok sorry
[00:03] <melodie> you copy it directly under /etc/apt
[00:03] <melodie> else it would not work
[00:03] <melodie> don't appologize, just focus and do it carefully
[00:05] <melodie> xubuntu10w ping me when you are ready
[00:06] <xubuntu10w> ok one second
[00:08] <xubuntu10w> will not let me add to /etc/apt
[00:08] <xubuntu10w> should i delete old sources/list file?
[00:09] <melodie> well print it and hang it on your wall :D
[00:09] <xubuntu10w> lol please
[00:09] <xubuntu10w> haha
[00:09] <melodie> so you pay attention to your file system ;)
[00:09] <xubuntu10w> i am n00b ik
[00:09] <xubuntu10w> me sorry, i love ubuntu
[00:09] <xubuntu10w> srs how can i transport file to /etc/apt
[00:10] <melodie> if you have copied "sources.list" correctly to /etc/apt the other one no longer exists
[00:10] <melodie> or it may exist as "sources.list.bak" or so
[00:10] <melodie> which is of no importance
[00:10] <melodie> to do that you :
[00:10] <melodie> "sudo cp sources.list /etc/apt"
[00:10] <melodie> without the quotes
[00:11] <melodie> cp means copy (and the command is cp)
[00:11] <melodie> where have you saved it? in your home, or on the desktop ?
[00:11] <xubuntu10w> desktop
[00:12] <xubuntu10w> i entered that command
[00:12] <xubuntu10w> now how do i paste?
[00:12] <melodie> wait
[00:12] <melodie> if it's on the desktop you open the console on the desktop
[00:13] <melodie> where did you enter the command?
[00:13] <xubuntu10w> on terminal
[00:13] <melodie> in a console, right?
[00:13] <melodie> ok
[00:13] <melodie> did you open that terminal from within the desktop?
[00:13] <melodie> I mean on the desktop: did a right-click and opened the terminal?
[00:14] <xubuntu10w> i believe so..will redo that
[00:14] <xubuntu10w> understandable
[00:14] <xubuntu10w> did that.
[00:14] <melodie> Xfce does provide a launcher for the terminal on the desktop, unlike other desktop environments.
[00:15] <melodie> now check the content of /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:15] <melodie> just do:
[00:15] <melodie> as simple user in the console:
[00:15] <melodie> cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:15] <melodie> this will display the content in the console
[00:15] <melodie> console/terminal
[00:15] <xubuntu10w> ok
[00:15] <xubuntu10w> i recieved
[00:15] <melodie> do you have your 3 lines?
[00:15] <xubuntu10w> xubuntu@xubuntu:~/Desktop$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted universe multiverse deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
[00:16] <melodie> ok ok
[00:16] <xubuntu10w> sorry that looks sloppy..
[00:16] <melodie> well we don't paste here
[00:16] <melodie> this is why we use pastebinit
[00:16] <xubuntu10w> i apologize
[00:16] <melodie> now you start Ubuntu Software Center
[00:16] <melodie> does that work?
[00:17] <xubuntu10w> let ,e check
[00:18] <melodie> if that works, use it to install Synaptic
[00:18] <melodie> you will love it instantly
[00:19] <melodie> xubuntu10w ok, I'm out. just do "sudo apt-get update" in console if needed, then install Synaptic
[00:20] <xubuntu10w> ok thank you
[00:20] <melodie> in case of trouble, do "sudo apt-get -f install"
[00:20] <melodie> welcome
[01:04] <xubuntu79w> Anyone using non-default applications? If so what are you using? (WM/File Manager etc)
[07:00] <Senpos> Hello. Do anybody knows why CSD doesn't work in Xubuntu 15.04 / 15.10? (now running 15.10 Beta 1 from USB)
[11:02] <xubuntu069> greatings from sao paulo, brazil
[11:02] <knome> hello
[11:02] <xubuntu069> hi
[11:03] <xubuntu069> does anyone can help in fix the grub boot loader? after installing xubuntu, for dual boot, grub doesn't load, so just windows loads on computer.
[11:04] <knome> !dualboot

[11:05] <xubuntu069> thank you buddy
[20:05] <Slumlord_> hello
[20:05] <Slumlord_> my sound is broken in xubuntu
[20:05] <Slumlord_> i don't recall doing anything to break it
[20:06] <Slumlord_> any ideas how to fix it
[20:06] <Slumlord_> just sound through the tv
[20:06] <Slumlord_> via hdmi
[20:07] <Slumlord_> nothing special
[20:08] <xangua> there you go, that's special
[20:09] <xangua> did you check the sound output is right? Did it worked before? Did you try another HDMI cable? what Ubuntu release? is this an ATI card?
[20:10] <Slumlord_> works on other tv
[20:10] <Slumlord_> some setting must have changed
[20:12] <Slumlord_> ok got it
[20:12] <Slumlord_> something has to be playing for the setting to display
[20:13] <Slumlord_> then you change it as it's playing
[20:14] <Slumlord_> i think maybe the cat pressed something on the keyboard
[20:14] <Slumlord_> as he dances on the keyboard at times
[20:19] <Meerkat> Slumlord_, does yours stare you in the eyes and then stomp one paw on the keyboard hoping to break something?
[20:21] <knome> cat issues at #xubuntu-offtopic
[20:22] <Meerkat> knome, depends, I guess
[20:22] <knome> no, it doesn't depend, cat issues are to be directed at #xubuntu-offtopic
[20:24] <Slumlord_> lol
[20:24] <Slumlord_> whole body on keyboard and pounces off
[20:32] <ScoDal> congratulations you typed 239ujeifwdskmvfxc
