[05:14] <neonsun> hello there! I am very new with Ubuntu - installing it for the very first time. I need a bit of support about the graphic display - do I have a graphic driver or sth like that as an opportunity? Cause it's quite unuseful right now, during the instalation. Thank you! :)
[05:14] <cfhowlett> neonsun, more details ....
[05:17] <neonsun> the machine is very old one - Gateway. I am helping a friend and dont know the exact age of the chipset. It was under Win XP and running well. Now, still installing Xubuntu, it offered me support via the channel so I'm here.
[05:18] <cfhowlett> !details | neonsun
[05:18] <neonsun> the display is reddish and noisy. I guess it's gonna offer me some opportunity to repair it after it's all over with the settings?
[05:18] <cfhowlett> neonsun, old computer?  desktop?
[05:19] <neonsun> laptop, thank you
[05:19] <cfhowlett> I would bet anything it's not an ubuntu issue, the gpu card is old and failing.
[05:19] <neonsun> i am sure it is not ubuntu :)
[05:20] <neonsun> yes, but would there be any chance to install something additional after it?
[05:20] <cfhowlett> if the CARD is failing, what do you think you're going to install to fix it?
[05:21] <neonsun> cfhowlett i mentioned i never used linux before. i am just hoping and that is my question - if you may supose sth for me to help?
[05:22] <cfhowlett> I propose you go to your local computer salvage shop and buy a replacement card.
[05:22] <cfhowlett> or learn to live with off-center coloring in the display.
[07:48] <medicijnman> how do i disable online help after pressing f1 in xfce-terminal?

[15:08] <noorxbyte> Hellow
[15:08] <noorxbyte> anybody there?
[15:09] <sak> hello
[15:09] <noorxbyte> i'm having some problems
[15:09] <slickymasterWork> !hi | noorxbyte
[15:09] <noorxbyte> i changed my session to xfce and now can't change back to xubuntu session
[15:10] <sak> Are you referring to the login session?
[15:10] <noorxbyte> yes
[15:11] <sak> you don't see the xubuntu session option in the session changer?
[15:11] <noorxbyte> I can't change back. "xubuntu session" is selected in the login screen
[15:11] <noorxbyte> but logins to xfce4
[15:12] <sak> hmmmm, sound like you might have removed the xubuntu-desktop session by accident. Try this #sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, see what happens
[15:12] <noorxbyte> xubuntu-desktop is already the newest version
[15:13] <noorxbyte> help?
[15:14] <sak> one sec
[15:15] <sak> In the mean time, update your initramfs, #sudo update-initramfs -u
[15:16] <noorxbyte> done
[15:16] <noorxbyte> now what?
[15:16] <sak> restart
[15:17] <noorxbyte> ok
[15:17] <noorxbyte> brb
[15:17] <noorxbyte> is logout ok?
[15:21] <noorxbyte> i'm back
[15:21] <noorxbyte> and it did not work
[15:23] <sak> Can you remember what steps you took when you installed xfce4?
[15:25] <noorxbyte> i did not "install"
[15:25] <noorxbyte> tonight i just saw that option in the login screen
[15:27] <sak> Something happened to your system that caused this. That is what we are trying to find out. Nothing appears without action
[15:31] <sak> We may need to check the log files of your display manager. If xubuntu is installed, then perhaps the lightdm manager is not properly loading it.
[15:31] <sak> If anyone else is on this chat feel free to jump in
[15:31] <noorxbyte> so please suggest a fix
[15:32] <sak> First we have to find the problem, otherwise we will be shooting in the dark.
[15:32] <sak> Is this a production system noorxbyte?
[15:33] <noorxbyte> u mean?
[15:33] <flocculant> noorxbyte: does it login to xfce even though you've reset session to xubuntu - or does it just look like xfce
[15:35] <noorxbyte> echo $DESKTOP_SESSION
[15:35] <noorxbyte> this gives me the output "xubuntu"
[15:35] <flocculant> ok - so it just 'looks' odd
[15:36] <noorxbyte> but it does not look like before
[15:36] <flocculant> yep - you can remove the xfce4 folder from config
[15:36] <noorxbyte> config file where
[15:36] <flocculant> but you'll have to do so logged out
[15:36] <flocculant> so logout, got to a vt ctrl+alt+f1 then login there
[15:37] <noorxbyte> i did not understand fully
[15:37] <flocculant> then rm -r .config/xfce4
[15:38] <flocculant> you have to logout of the gui - login to a virtual terminal - then run that
[15:38] <flocculant> then logout of that, then ctrl+alt+f7 and login to the desktop
[15:39] <noorxbyte> lemme try that
[15:40] <sak> flocculant, I see xfce4 in my config folder. I have Xubuntu installed, but I don't see xubuntu, just the xfce. Aren't they the same?
[15:41] <flocculant> seems that logging into xfce overrides xubuntu - never did suss out why
[15:41] <sak> Ok, I see lxsession, openbox and xfce
[15:41] <flocculant> and yes you should have .config/xfce4
[15:42] <sak> And if one removed xfce4?
[15:43] <flocculant> it'll be rebuilt when you login again
[15:43] <drc> sak: When you log back in it will automagically re-constitute itself with the defaults.
[15:43] <flocculant> though as drc alludes - you lose any customisation you've done
[15:43] <sak> And where are these defaults?
[15:44] <flocculant> not sure
[15:44] <Pici> /36/36
[15:44] <drc>  /etc/skel, usually
[15:46] <noorxbyte> ok done
[15:46] <sak> So, when a new ubunt system is installed, the default desktop setup is, "what you see when logged in", stored in the /etc/skel file.
[15:46] <noorxbyte> thanks
[15:46] <drc> basically, yes
[15:46] <sak> noorxbyte, it worked?
[15:47] <noorxbyte> i deleted the xfce4 folder from .config
[15:47] <noorxbyte> and it reset the UI
[15:47] <noorxbyte> what was your suggestion sak?
[15:49] <sak> noorxbyte, if all else failed, I was going to suggested a re-installation of xubuntu, by removing it and reinstalling. Glad I didn't
[15:49] <sak> thanks flocculant and drc
[15:49] <drc> np...enjoy :)
[15:49] <noorxbyte> thanks all
[15:50] <flocculant> noorxbyte: welcome
[15:50] <flocculant> sak: rarely is there any reason to reinstall the OS
[15:51] <sak> Glad that is fact flocculant
[15:51] <drc> But there are times (been there, done that, messed it up real bad)... :(
[15:51] <flocculant> yep
[16:28] <sak> lol
[16:35] <cousteau> what was the package I had to uninstall to have dead_acute + C (or compose ' C) produce a c with acute rather than a ç?
[16:41] <cousteau> it was something about the input method...  someone here or in #xfce told me to remove some useless annoying package and that did the trick
[16:46] <cousteau> hint: it was IBUS-something, I think...
[16:47] <bazhang> !find ibus
[16:51] <cousteau> uninstalled ibus ibus-gtk ibus-gtk3; no luck...
[16:53] <cousteau> Oh, seems that I just need to restart all applications in order to get them worked as intended :)
[16:53] <cousteau> brb
[16:54] <cousteau> yaaay!  it works!  ććććć
[16:54] <cousteau> btw ibus is dumb >:(
[16:55] <bazhang> not for those that need it, really
[17:39] <emnz> hello

[17:40] <GridCube> also try starting a live session
[17:41] <emnz> GridCube: awesome thank you
[17:42] <emnz> my download manager can check the hash, any idea how to find out what it is in windows?
[17:42] <emnz> dont have linux to run terminal with
[17:43] <bazhang> !md5

[18:05] <ozbluenose> Hello.  Is there anybody here?
[18:06] <emnz> maybe
[18:08] <knome> ozbluenose, if you have a support question, just ask it
[18:09] <ozbluenose> Hello emnz.  I'm looking for some help with xubuntu.  An update I just tried to install told me there isn't enough space in the /boot partition.  I'm a novice here.  My drive has only xubuntu on it.  There is over 250 GB of space in the other partitions.  I installed xubuntu recently and let it do its own thing, including partitions.  Any ideas how to solve it?
[18:10] <bazhang> remove some of the older kernels ozbluenose
[18:11] <emnz> https://askubuntu.com/questions/495941/software-updater-needs-more-disk-space
[18:13] <ozbluenose> Thank you emnz and bazhang for that.  I'll go through that now.  Regards.
[18:46] <Player1> hi guys! I'm having an issue where evience isn't respecting my touchpad scroll inversion... any ideas?
[18:47] <Player1> It's really getting to me when I'm in class and my book scrolls the opposite way of everything else on my computer lol
[18:49] <knome> Player1, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=178325
[18:50] <Player1> Allright cool I'm about to try this
[18:50] <Player1> should I leave my horizontal delta alone
[18:50] <Player1> if I want that to be uninverted?
[18:50] <knome> i have no idea.
[18:52] <Player1> Okay and if I don't have an xorg.conf.d is it gonna wreck shit if I make one?
[18:52] <Player1> *stuff
[18:55] <Player1> Another reason I'm hesitant to try that is my scrolling is inverted, just not in the one program.
[18:56] <knome> Player1, please remember that this channel is family-friendly and adjust the language accordingly
[18:56] <Player1> Yeah I corrected my self for that reason, I apologize... Old habits and whatnot. :3
[18:58] <knome> (x)ubuntu doesn't create xorg.conf by default but if you need one, you can create one and if it's sane, it doesn't break anything
[19:00] <genii> !xorgconf
[19:06] <Player1> thanks knome
[19:38] <LolPodOne> Hello
[19:38] <LolPodOne> Version Xubuntu 15.04 ? Release ?
[19:39] <bekks> LolPodOne: Whats your actual question? :)
[19:41] <LolPodOne> My question is Send of the Mail
[19:42] <LolPodOne> bekks: My question is Send of the Mail
[19:42] <bekks> LolPodOne: So can you rephrase it, to actually ask a specific question?
[19:44] <LolPodOne> Send Mail using "mail"
[19:44] <drc> LolPodOne: What's your native language?
[19:44] <LolPodOne> Italian :(
[19:45] <drc> !it | LolPodOne
[19:45] <LolPodOne> Thanks ;)
[19:45] <drc> You're Welcome
[19:46] <LolPodOne> The Italian group is offline:(
[19:47] <bekks> No, there are 49 nicks online in #ubuntu-it
[19:47] <drc> !patience | LolPodOne
[19:47] <LolPodOne> no one answers
[19:48] <LolPodOne> Sorry
[19:48] <drc> We'll try and help here, but you will have to do better at asking your question, appearently no one here understands what you are trying to ask.
[19:55] <drc> And now we'll never know :)
[21:25] <jodanpotasu> hello can i ask u for something?
[21:27] <knome> that's what this channel is for
[21:27] <jodanpotasu> oh cool i have some problem with basics  - cron
[21:28] <jodanpotasu> im trying to set cron every day to echo "ass" :D
[21:28] <knome> ...
[21:28] <jodanpotasu> its not joke
[21:28] <jodanpotasu> im learning
[21:28] <jodanpotasu> im typing in console crontab -e
[21:28] <jodanpotasu> then 19 23 * * * user echo "ass" but it is not works
[21:28] <jodanpotasu> why?
[21:29] <jodanpotasu> it should every day at 23:19
[21:30] <Unit193> You'll need somewhere for it to drop that, so for example you can redirect it to a file or install exim4 and heirloom-mailx
[21:31] <jodanpotasu> ahh i didnt know i cant in that way use it, installing exm4 and second program allow me to do in that way?
[21:31] <Unit193> Where did you really expect to see it?  That'll give you 'system mail', so you can type `mail` and see this message.
[21:33] <jodanpotasu> i really expect to run command "redshift -O" every day but i cant, so i have to put this to some file?
[21:35] <Unit193> Due to a bug in redshift perhaps?  lp 1449421, lp 1480237, lp 1480526 or another: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/redshift
[21:37] <jodanpotasu> oh thank you so much for that links but still i wanna learn cron, is that even possible to run command like mine?
[21:37] <jodanpotasu> or i really have to put them into file?
[21:40] <drc> jodanpotasu: Whay not try someting cron specific...like http://www.unixgeeks.org/security/newbie/unix/cron-1.html or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto or https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cron ?
[21:42] <jodanpotasu> i will thank u so much  ;)
[22:51] <bet0x> Where is located the git repo for the xubuntu project?
[22:54] <knome> there is no single git repo
[22:54] <knome> what are you looking for exactly?
