[00:20] Hola [00:20] necesito algo de soporte [00:21] Hi, I need some support [00:22] can somebody help me? [00:23] hello? [00:23] Not using ESP, mine stinks. Aka, you have to ask a question before someone can help. [00:26] it happends, is the videos don't shows the correct colors, what is green looks purple, bodies of people looks blue etc. [00:28] i installed some codecs and it continues equal [00:28] * binaryhermit wonders if CBenD is accidentally surfing smurftube instead of youtube [00:29] * binaryhermit doesn't have a solution to CBenD's problem [00:30] i don't using nothing but only the browser [00:31] but at download the video and play it on my pc it looks like I said [00:32] it doesn't happend on internet videos [00:33] nor youtube or anothers [00:35] only on locals plays [00:35] when I download the video [00:35] can somebody help me? [00:37] should I to use smurftube? [00:39] That was a joke. You're using what version and graphics? [00:40] well very old [00:40] an integrated [00:41] and it is for desktop pc === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:42] is there the problem? [00:45] well anyway thanks guys [00:47] see you later === alexandros_c is now known as Linux4Tomorrow === Linux4Tomorrow is now known as alexandros_c [09:14] hi people, I have 2 monitors connected to my pc and as an os i have xubuntu 15.04 installed on it. during the installation xubuntu was able to boot off the cd and put the 2 monitors in mirror mode. After the installation I get on both screens a white background and a mouse as a login screen. Only when I boot off my pc with only 1 monitor attached to it I get the xubuntu login screen. After logging in I can attach my 2nd monitor to my pc witho [11:32] hi, I just did a `tasksel install xubuntu-desktop` and `tasksel remove kubuntu-desktop` I might have borked gtk themes but I'm using the default one and it's showing no errors anywhere else but LibreOffice is looking like this: https://i.imgur.com/2atJPll.png https://i.imgur.com/DS7IBLb.png . What's going on? [11:32] I have libreoffice-gtk install. It's looking fine when it's uninstalled. [11:32] +ed [12:19] no ideas? [12:20] tried #libreoffice yet? [12:22] ewet, can you confirm which gtk theme you are using, and also, what do you mean by "i might have borked gtk themes" ? [12:25] I'm using Greybird and all the other Xubuntu defaults. However, I'm seeing some themes that don't usually belong (Clearlooks-Phenix, QT-Curve) or don't work (Unity looks like Clearlooks for example) [12:26] but LibreOffice looks largely (the black) the same no matter which theme I choose [12:29] and which xubuntu version are you using? [12:31] Ubuntu 15.04 - Linux kubuntu-pc 3.19.0-28-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 15:52:51 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [12:32] I have no themes in either $(Home)/themes or /user/local [12:32] try the following: [12:32] install qt4-qtconfig (if not installed) [12:33] then run qtconfig-qt4 [12:33] and make sure the "GUI style" dropdown box says "GTK+" [12:33] then close the qt config tool, save settings and restart libreoffice [12:41] Nope, that wasn't it. But I found it: I had to disable `Options: View: Use OpenGL for all rendering`. [12:42] glad you found it [12:44] strange, though ... [12:45] thanks for you help :) [12:45] np [12:45] enjoy xubuntu [13:03] I'll enjoy it more than the recent Kubuntu incarnation, I tell you that for a fact ... [13:35] when I add a Xubuntu system to the domain I have issues with the user and groups tool [13:35] with Ubuntu this issue doesn't exist [13:38] can I install the user control tool in Ubuntu on Xubuntu? [13:39] zethroo I've never tried but in theory it should work. [13:39] ok [13:39] I am experiencing this same issue with Lubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu MATE [13:40] seems to be something in the way these distro's handle user management [13:43] zetheroo: I don't do much with users currently so I can only be some much help [13:44] ok ;) [16:33] hi [16:33] I would like to know if it's possible to keep the icons placed on the desktop from one session to another, with xubuntu trusty? [16:33] sorry : I mean on the same places [16:33] malinux_: that should be happening [16:34] hi holstein, here is melodie, I am doing a version for the Mali and only this detail fails to work [16:34] Hello all, i just installed on my legacy machine xubuntu, but it is working pretty slow, though winXP is flying on this computer, please help me to configure it and make it flying as winXP [16:34] I was asked to arrange the desktop so that the icons would be grouped [16:35] and restored at each session at their same place incase the kids in schools would mess it up [16:35] malinux_: oh, so, you want to *not* be able to move them? [16:35] this works for the first user created, but the other users created after have the same icons, just not staying at the expacted place on the desktop [16:35] Alina-M: well, unfortunately, that can be the case, since, the hardware was likely created with windows support in mind.. [16:35] holstein, it does not matter if they move, but they should be restored identical at each session [16:36] identically placed especially [16:36] holstein, :-/ what can i do? [16:36] Alina-M: i would look at the graphics drivers, and have reaslistic expecations.. this would be more like comparing windows 8 or windows 10 with current xubuntu.. which, as you know, likely dont run on the hardware [16:36] holstein, and it is due for this evening, I have to upload the final iso [16:37] because we install this week-end to more than 30 machines [16:37] Alina-M: well, idealy, the creators of the hardware would support linux, for you.. but, since they likely dont.. try looking at your GPU drivers, and see if there is a proprietary one available.. [16:37] holstein, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV28 [GeForce4 Ti 4200 AGP 8x] (rev a1) [16:38] Alina-M: right.. so, there will be a proprietary driver.. "legacy" one.. ideally. look in the GUI for additional drivers, and try it [16:38] I copied the files from .config/xfce4|xfce4-session|Thunar and .local/share/applications to /etc/skel from where they are again copied to the homes of the users [16:38] holstein, i looked there, but its empty no drivers in that list :( [16:38] Alina-M: and, there may not be any [16:38] I don't know what else can be missing [16:39] Alina-M: if nvidia is not providing support for that hardware any longer for any OS.. then, it may be, the open drivers are doing the best they can [16:39] in the home of the first user it all works, I can mess the icons around, remove them, they are restored the right way. [16:39] Alina-M: what are the specs of the machine? what is lagging how? [16:39] malinux_: well, lets say, they are "restored the way you intend".. [16:39] is it possible that there might be a bug ? [16:39] "possible" sure. [16:39] holstein, I created two more users, and the result is the same [16:39] well its working laging on every aspect, from moving window from one corner to another, to launching browser, and trying to scroll mouse down, it is happening with lags, everything happening with lags :-/ [16:40] ok never mind... :/ [16:40] next time I'll do Malinux on top of Bento Openbox [16:40] Alina-M: sure.. but, what are the specs of the machine? and, what OS are you trying? xubuntu 14.04? 15.04? [16:40] 15.04 [16:41] Alina-M: i might try something closer to the era of the machine [16:41] Alina-M: what are the specs of the machine, again? i wouldnt expect newer linux kernels to support it "better".. [16:44] holstein, http://pastebin.com/6FdFxxJf [16:46] Alina-M: i mean, how much ram? what CPU? etc.. you may just have unrealistic expecations.. [16:46] !nvidia [16:46] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [16:46] 2GB [16:47] i always refer to that ^ and the model of my specific card.. *before* installing, i try a lot of different kernel version live [16:47] i try the vesa driver.. etc.. [16:48] leaving, good evenin g [16:58] Alina-M: you can search "linux *the exact model of the PC*" and see if there are others using that machine and linux, and see what they say [16:59] Alina-M: if you'd like to share details, id be more than happy to help you search.. [16:59] hmmmmm [17:00] Alina-M: searching GeForce4 Ti 4200 AGP 8x ubuntu turns up lots of old posts [17:00] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia older drivers, that, im just not sure work with modern kernels. you will have to just try it. or, simply try the vesa driver, and see if the GPU driver is lagging the desktop [17:01] how to try this vesa? [17:01] i never did that before [17:01] I had similar card a long time back - might be better supported in 14.04 [17:01] !vesa [17:01] vesa is the default video driver if X can't find a better one. Also see !x [17:01] i would try 14.04 on the hardware, for sure [17:01] so i download 14.04 and reinstall it now? [17:01] as i said, you wont get better support from newer kernels.. if anything, it will phase support out for the older stuff [17:02] Alina-M: there is not a quick-fix answer for this. the hardware creators promised you support for windows.. and, you'll be responsible for implementing other operating systems on it [17:02] Hello room. [17:02] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2208523 [17:03] Alina-M: not looking good post 12.04 [17:03] but, the vesa driver may be just fine, for most of your needs.. [17:03] well, i dont know the command for this vesa driver anyways [17:03] you may also have luck with a debian stable based OS.. something more from that era [17:03] Quick question for ya. Can any of you activate the Power Menu in LightDM with any keyboard shortcut? (It's supposed to be F12) [17:04] Alina-M: there is no command for it.. its a configuration to use the vesa driver, and its not a fix. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270209 [17:04] Alina-M: i will use "safe graphics mode" from boot [17:05] i will work with live iso's as much as possible, til i learn what drivers the hardware supports best.. [17:06] xubuntu63w: isn't supposed to be alt+F12¿ [17:06] i will try an xorg.conf forcing vesa, knowing how to undo that from tty.. not worrying about the desktop geometry, and other settings.. [17:07] So, anyone successful with the keyboard shortcut for the Power Menu in LightDM? [17:08] Accroding to this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/04/lightdm-gtk-greeter-1-8-4 it's supposed to be F12. [17:09] I've tried every combination of Ctrl, Alt, Shift & F12, and nuthin'. No joy for me. [17:09] wondering if other see the same thing I do. [17:10] If so, this might be a (minor) bug. If not, then it's gotta be my setup, methinks. [17:10] Although, I'm on a recently installed, stock Xubuntu 15.04 with a US keyboard & layout. [17:11] And Alt+F4 does bring up the "Shut Down" dialog. [17:12] xubuntu63w: possibly a regression - that's gone through some changes since then [17:13] flocculant & xangua: Thank you for your responses. I'll look more into it later. Gotta run now. Thanks again. === SonikkuAmerica is now known as Guest6294 === littlebunnyfufu is now known as SonikkuAmerica [17:36] hi [17:38] I have a 32bit Xubuntu 14.04 that's become slow as molasses at e.g. reading the local apt package database, unpacking with tar [17:39] i usually test hardware at that point, if its something that just happens, all of a sudden, and not a kernel upgrade, etc [17:41] the changes since the last know good states are that I installed the vivid kernel, virt-manager and 16GB extra RAM (I started with 8GB, so I expect the PAE kernel to be installed from the start), the issues do not happen on a 64bit installation I dual boot on the same HDD [17:42] i would just try loading my last known good kernel [17:46] holstein, good point [17:46] br [17:46] b [19:06] Hello [19:06] I'm a new user, having trouble in the terminal. [19:07] I just removed a decent amount of pre-installed software and so I'd like to run this command to remove all config files dpkg -l | grep '^rc' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs dpkg --purge [19:08] I receive the following message after doing so "dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege" [19:08] However, I used the sudo command to run it in terminal. [19:08] So, using sudo, shouldn't I have superuser privileges? [19:10] xubuntu22w: dpkg -l | grep '^rc' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs sudo dpkg --purge [19:11] I'll try that [19:12] So I had typed sudo in the wrong spot? [19:12] Yep. [19:13] Okay, thank you [19:13] Worked [19:30] is there a quick way to install broadcom bcm4322 wifi driver without internet connection? [19:30] *on the machine where the driver is needed [19:30] !broadcom [19:30] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [19:31] you'll just have to get the packages somehow.. i typically just go take the machine and wire it up.. [19:31] ok, thanks guys [19:32] i have followed the "no internet connection" instructions, though, and it worked.. [19:40] anyone else having problem with keyboards getting disabled in Xubuntu? Every keyboard I try stops working after a few minutes. [19:40] usb keyboards [19:41] the weird thing is they stay disabled during reboot so I can't even get into bios [19:41] bohu_: no.. i might look at my hardware, at that point.. make sure a USB stick stays connected.. if im using a HUB, bypass it.. if i have another machine, test the USB keyboard there [19:42] thanx holstein [19:43] tried keyboard on a friend's machine so I know it works [19:43] google suggested enabling legacy usb support in bios. That didn't help [19:44] likely not google making that suggestion.. but, at least thats a decent test for if the hardware works.. is it *all* usb keyboards? any other usb devices work in unexpected ways? [19:44] Are you suggesting I may have a flaky usb port? I'll investigate that. [19:44] bohu_: im suggesting, the motherboard could be failing.. the USB ports.. simply the USB hardware/motherboard not supporting linux well.. [19:45] only usb keyboards giving problems. But they were all plugged into same port [19:45] so, its just that one port, then? [19:45] is it a "blue" one? usb 3.0? [19:45] don't know. Once the keyboard stops working, moving it to another port does not re-enable the keyboard [19:46] could Parole have something to do with it? Each time a keyboard failed I was watching a movie in Parole. [19:46] well, think of it this way.. its like a detective job.. and, sure.. something with VGA or who knows could crash something that breaks it.. [19:47] hmmm.... [19:47] is that the case? only when you watch a video? it happens? [19:47] yes [19:47] so.. what type of codec? is it just the one codec? etc.. [19:48] mkv and mp4. haven't tried others. [19:48] maybe parole wants to manage the keyboard for some reason? [19:49] bohu_: test the item playing in *another* player. find the trigger [19:50] is it the codec? is it the player? etc.. [19:50] this keyboard has lasted 30 minutes so far but haven't started Parole. [19:50] well, its not an issue of time, then? is it? [19:50] Gonna wait another hour with no video play just to be sure, then try VLC, Gnome-mplayer and then Parole to see what happens [19:51] its not "lasting". its that, you havent used the trigger, which, is either the player, or the codec? or something crashing an element.. etc.. [19:51] the other keyboards only lasted a few minutes [19:51] bohu_: i dont know about different keyboards [19:51] bohu_: i say, dont do all of them at the same time [19:52] choose one, that you can make trigger.. be prepared to reboot, and try live isos. and tail logs.. etc [19:53] that reminds me.. once a keyboard fails, it stays that way. Even if I boot from the Xubuntu liveDVD. But the keyboard will work on another computer. [19:53] That's what confuses the snot out of me... [19:54] is it the bios, the motherboard or something with usb ports or the media player. This might take a while to solve [19:55] gonna google the computer's model number and see what turns up. Be back in a bit. [21:55] hi [21:56] hello [21:56] I need help [21:57] what's wrong? [21:57] * binaryhermit will help if he can [21:57] I am trying to install ffmpeg [21:58] and enable libmp3lame [21:58] but I don't know how [21:59] how are you trying to install ffmpeg then? [21:59] or more exactly, what is it you are actually trying to achieve? [22:00] I want to be able to record screen with x264 and libmp3lame [22:01] installing the packages ffmpeg and libmp3lame0 should get you the packages you want [22:02] yes but appa [22:02] taparently I can't install ffmpeg from terminal [22:02] or just lame [22:02] ok, why? [22:04] I found a website that explains how to compile libmp3lame [22:04] but I get errors [22:04] ookay, and why would you like to compile it? [22:05] why don't you use the packages available in the repositories? [22:05] do you know at all what you are doing? [22:05] no I'm newbie [22:05] I just followed instructions [22:05] tfrom that website [22:05] ok, then you should stick with what is available from the repositories [22:06] do you specifically need to use those encoders to record your screen, or would anything go? [22:06] I preffer to use those encoders [22:06] ok, so which application is it you want to use? [22:07] i assume you have one in mind since you have followed some instructions [22:07] firefox, gaming cube 2 [22:07] no, i'm referring to the application you want to *record with* [22:07] ahh ok [22:08] directly from ffmpeg [22:08] ok... then you likely only need to install ffmpeg and lame [22:08] if you want to do that from the terminal: [22:08] sudo apt-get install ffmpeg lame [22:09] there are GUI options for recording your screen too, but if you insist on doing that from the CLI, it's your choice [22:10] how to remove ffmpeg [22:10] t? [22:10] excuse me? didn't you want to install it? [22:11] I did a ./configure to a file [22:11] ok [22:11] that's fine, doing that won't install anything yet. [22:11] and I also did a "make" [22:11] that's fine as well. [22:12] and an "Install" [22:12] ok... [22:12] but I got errors [22:12] first of all, do you still have the files you used to build and install ffmpeg? [22:12] don't delete them if you do. [22:13] next, what kind of errors were they? [22:13] you can use a pastebin to send them to the channel [22:13] !pastebin | sOlar_eClips-E [22:13] sOlar_eClips-E: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [22:15] ok Im going to repeat the process to see which are the errors [22:16] don't - if you don't know what it is, don't do it [22:16] ok [22:16] can you post the url to the instructions you used? [22:16] sure [22:16] that will help us debug what you need to do to uninstall ffmpeg cleanly... is possible [22:17] https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/How%20to%20quickly%20compile%20FFmpeg%20with%20mp3,%20aac%2B%20and%20x264 [22:19] sOlar_eClips-E, ok, while i figure that out, let me remind you: [22:19] sOlar_eClips-E, the best way to install software is via the pacakge manager(s) [22:19] ok [22:19] sOlar_eClips-E, there aren't many situations when you can't do that, or the packages from the repositories do not work for you [22:20] ok [22:20] sOlar_eClips-E, furthermore, to keep your computer safe, never do anything you don't understand [22:20] especially if it involves sudo [22:21] -.- [22:21] ok [22:22] sOlar_eClips-E, ok, in the directory where you ran "make" etc [22:22] sOlar_eClips-E, run "sudo make uninstall" [22:22] ok [22:26] tell me when you are done [22:27] sorry my I got electriciti problem [22:27] no problem [22:28] I got get some errors while uninstalling [22:28] ok, please pastebin them [22:28] !pastebin | sOlar_eClips-E1 [22:28] sOlar_eClips-E1: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [22:30] a@ea-enki:~/programas/lame$ sudo make uninstall [22:30] [sudo] password for a: [22:30] Making uninstall in mpglib [22:30] make[1]: Entering directory '/home/a/programas/lame/mpglib' [22:30] make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'uninstall'. [22:30] fail [22:31] maybe they also didn't read the first time and didn't run the install command with sudo. [22:31] ok [22:31] sOlar_eClips-E, ok, in the future, please pay attention to what people are telling you [22:32] sOlar_eClips-E, i told you *twice* to use a pastebin [22:32] what is a pastebin? [22:32] !pastebin | sOlar_eClips-E, pay attention to this line [22:32] sOlar_eClips-E, pay attention to this line: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [22:32] see? [22:33] ok [22:33] sOlar_eClips-E, reading from your paste (the part what i could see), it looks like you didn't follow the instructions properly the first time either [22:33] sOlar_eClips-E, but in this case, it seems like it's good luck... i don't believe you have "installed" the make you compiled. [22:34] so what am I going to do now? [22:34] sOlar_eClips-E, you can delete the directory from within you ran "make" etc [22:34] ok [22:34] sOlar_eClips-E, now if you want to install ffmpeg and lame from the command line, run: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg lame [22:35] should I run "sudo apt-get remove --purge ffmpeg?" [22:35] no need to - that wouldn't remove the ffmpeg you compiled anyway [22:35] ok [22:36] compiling and installing software with "make install" is an unsupported way to install packages since it can't be tracked by the package managers [22:36] they simply don't know anything about the software, it's just some untracked files to them [22:36] ok [22:37] I will try sudo apt-get install ffmpeg lame x264 [22:38] that sounds much better than compiling ffmpeg yourself without knowing what you are doing. [22:38] must I type a command to enable x264 and libmp3lame to be used? [22:39] like --enablelibmp3lame? [22:39] that's a compile time option. [22:39] oh I see [22:39] i would think you would have to give ffmpeg some options when you start recording the video [22:40] but i haven't done that enough to know much about it [22:40] ok [22:41] let me see if it works [22:47] it works [22:47] thanks alot [22:47] you're welcome [22:47] just remember... don't run anything you don't understand [22:47] it saves you a lot of trouble [22:48] do you now how to enhance encoding quality for minimum video bitrate and maximum videoquality? [22:48] nope. [22:50] ok [22:51] thanks
