[00:36] <Scunizi> I'm revamping an old laptop ridding it of Win XP that has failed.. Installed xubuntu and I'm trying to activate the Nvidia 173 legacy drivers via the GUI.. No dice. After hitting apply and waiting a few secs, it reverts. no download or install. how do I fix this behavoir?
[00:38] <Troller> Anyone knows a channel I can get help with a virus?
[00:39] <Scunizi> on a linux machine?
[00:40] <Troller> im on linux now so Im immune to it but I want to learn about it because I use windows at my school
[00:40] <Troller> and most comptuers there are infected
[00:41] <GeekDude> "so Im immune" Not completely true, just immune to windows and mac infections
[00:41] <GeekDude> If you want help with an infection on a windows machine, you should probably ask a windows support channel
[00:41] <Scunizi> check the #ubuntu channell for building a live cd/usb with virus check on it.  You'll have to boot a machine to the live environment, run the virus check on the windows drive and let it do it's magic.  You could probably Google this info as well on how to create it with a normal live Ubuntu environment.
[00:41] <Troller> all right, thanks
[00:42] <GeekDude> I rather like malwarebytes (chameleon if necessary)
[02:17] <xubuntu981> hello
[02:17] <xubuntu981> i have a question
[02:17] <xubuntu981> anybody here?
[02:18] <xubuntu981> please i really need help
[02:22] <GeekDude> Hi
[02:22] <xubuntu981> hi
[02:22] <bazhang> ask a question
[02:22] <GeekDude> I'd help but I have to sleep. Best of luck!
[02:22] <xubuntu981> ok so i'm trying to install xubuntu on my laptop
[02:22] <xubuntu981> installation works fine
[02:23] <xubuntu981> but when it comes to booting, no bootable device is found
[02:25] <xubuntu981> what can i do about it?
[02:28] <xubuntu981> that's my main pc
[02:29] <xubuntu981_> hi
[02:30] <xubuntu981_> oh you're back
[02:33] <xubuntu981_> please tell me :((
[05:18] <xubuntu73i> this is amazing
[05:18] <xubuntu73i> whoa!
[05:24] <mtyamantau> Hey peeps. What is the proper way to script a particular program in a specific workspace on Xfwm4? I've tried looking online, and all I can find is wmctrl, which I am not satisfied with
[05:24] <mtyamantau> Seems hacky
[05:25] <mtyamantau> *script to open a particular program
[06:33] <RavinduL> Hi! How would I add a launcher that runs the command `thunar "~/Documents"` into the Xubuntu applications view? I created a launcher on the desktop with that command and it worked perfectly, but when I moved it to the ~/.local/share/applications/ directory it gave me error "Error when getting information for file '/home/username/~/Documents': No such file or directory."
[06:34] <RavinduL> Oh wait I just fixed it.
[06:35] <RavinduL> Changed the path of the .desktop file to ~ and changed the exec to `thunar "Documents"`
[06:35] <RavinduL> Yay
[08:23] <GrandCouillon> Hello guys, I am under 15.10 and after the installation of "codeblocks" from standard repo I can't start it : "codeblocks: relocation error: /usr/lib/libcodeblocks.so.0: symbol _ZThn776_N17wxGenericListCtrl31GetSizeAvailableForScrollTargetERK6wxSize, version WXU_3.0 not defined in file libwx_gtk2u_core-3.0.so.0 with link time reference". I have made lots of "cleaning" without success. Does anyone have an idea ?
[08:26] <cfhowlett> GrandCouillon, more eyes in #ubuntu.  ask there.
[08:26] <GrandCouillon> cfhowlett, Ok, thanks
[10:34] <xubuntu15w> hello
[10:34] <xubuntu15w> good day
[10:35] <xubuntu15w> just want to ask
[10:36] <xubuntu15w> does anybody here experiencing a shutdown issue after upgrading to wily werewolf
[10:43] <franco_> hello just want to ask how to resolve a shutdown issue, shutdown becomes reboot after upgrade to wily werewolf
[11:45] <xubuntu681> hi
[11:45] <xubuntu681> can anybody help me?
[11:52] <Meerkat> xubuntu681, please write your question and we'll see what we can do
[11:56] <xubuntu681> okay so i am currently trying to install xubuntu on my laptop
[11:56] <xubuntu681> the installation works fine, but when i try to boot, there's no bootable device
[11:57] <bazhang> the installation was not fine then
[11:57] <Meerkat> xubuntu681, did you manually partition the disk or did you let Xubuntu do that?
[11:58] <xubuntu681> i let xubuntu do that
[11:58] <bazhang> first, md5 the iso, use an appropriate tool to burn the iso to usb
[11:58] <xubuntu681> @bazhang i used uNetbootin
[11:59] <bazhang> md5 the iso first
[11:59] <xubuntu681> how do i do that?
[11:59] <bazhang> !md5
[11:59] <bazhang> see above
[12:00] <xubuntu681> on my main computer is windows running
[12:00] <xubuntu681> oh
[12:00] <xubuntu681> now i see ^^
[12:08] <xubuntu681> wow
[12:08] <xubuntu681> i even fail to navigate to another hard drive
[12:10] <xubuntu681> okay
[12:10] <xubuntu681> it says md5sum: WARNING: 334 of 334 listed files could not be read
[12:10] <Spass> AFAIK unetbootin installs boot loader on a pendrive instead on your drive
[12:11] <xubuntu681> umm i tried to install using an usb stick
[12:11] <Spass> you must manually choose right device on this screen http://i.stack.imgur.com/5JkQX.png
[12:11] <Spass> yep, i've recently had same issue
[12:11] <Spass> with unetbootin
[12:11] <xubuntu681> so what do i have to do exactly?
[12:12] <Spass> well, i don't know any other way than reinstall
[12:12] <Spass> maybe someone knows how to install a boot loader from livecd?
[12:13] <xubuntu681> i dont have a cd drive in the laptop
[12:13] <Spass> there's no need
[12:13] <xubuntu681> oh thats what you mean now i understand it
[12:14] <xubuntu681> ok so the problem is not the installation but the boot? does it even copy the files to the hard drive??
[12:14] <Spass> i think your installation is ok, but you don't have boot loader installed on the right drive
[12:15] <Spass> unetbootin installed it on the pendrive... that's my guess
[12:15] <xubuntu681> what's pendrive?
[12:15] <xubuntu681> the usb stick?
[12:15] <Spass> yes, usb stick
[12:15] <xubuntu681> hmm
[12:16] <xubuntu681> how do i fix this?
[12:16] <Spass> unless you find a way to install boot loader from livecd (or someone here knows how to do it) try to reinstall
[12:16] <xubuntu681> i did
[12:16] <xubuntu681> 4 times or so
[12:17] <Spass> using the same usb stick, but choose to manually partition your drive
[12:17] <xubuntu681> i even tried using debian
[12:17] <xubuntu681> okay
[12:17] <Spass> and choose right device for a boot loader
[12:18] <Spass> drop list under "Device for boot loader installation:" http://i.stack.imgur.com/5JkQX.png
[12:18] <Spass> or... try to install boot loader from live cd
[12:18] <Spass> live usb ;)
[12:19] <Spass> but i don't know how, but google knows i suppose
[12:19] <xubuntu681> you mean start the live OS and then use the link on the desktop to install? i did that
[12:19] <xubuntu681> didn't work aswell
[12:20] <Spass> start live cd and use command line (terminal) to install grub on your drive
[12:20] <Spass> with no need to reinstall then
[12:20] <xubuntu681> ok wait a second i start the live device now
[12:21] <xubuntu681> ok good
[12:21] <xubuntu681> i'm in the terminal
[12:21] <Spass> but like i said, i'm a casual user and i don't know the correct command to do that :)
[12:22] <Spass> i'm googling it
[12:22] <xubuntu681> ok
[12:27] <Spass> sudo blkid
[12:28] <Spass> to find out what drives/partitions you have
[12:28] <xubuntu681> i see
[12:28] <xubuntu681> there
[12:28] <xubuntu681> 's sda1-sda3
[12:28] <Spass> btw, i'm basing in this HowTo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing
[12:28] <Spass> "via the LiveCD terminal" part
[12:29] <Spass> *basing on this
[12:30] <Spass> sda3 is swap i suppose, what are sda1 and sda2 in your case?
[12:31] <xubuntu681> sda1: UUID="C838-7D50" TYPE="vfat"
[12:31] <xubuntu681> sda2: Type ext4
[12:32] <Spass> you have windows on sda1 right?
[12:32] <xubuntu681> no
[12:32] <xubuntu681> i dont
[12:32] <xubuntu681> the computer has absolutely no OS
[12:33] <xubuntu681> oh and there's /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
[12:36] <Spass> well i think it will be easier to just reinstall then :D
[12:36] <Spass> from the shortcut on live cd
[12:37] <Spass> but this time partition your drive manually
[12:41] <Spass> i blame unetbootin for your problems
[12:41] <cfhowlett> strangely enough, unetbootin creates a very different USB than the default ubuntu startupUSBCreator
[12:42] <xubuntu681> okay
[12:42] <Spass> when you create your livecd on windows, consider Win32 Disk Imager, i think it;s much better for liveusb
[12:42] <xubuntu681> i did use it but the stick was not bootable then
[12:42] <xubuntu681> umm should i format the hard drive before reinstalling?
[12:42] <Spass> strange, i never had problems with it
[12:43] <Spass> if you don't have anything important on this drive then yes
[12:43] <xubuntu681> ok good
[12:43] <xubuntu681> as i said the pc is brand new there isn't anything on it
[12:43] <Spass> choose sda for your boot loader device
[12:44] <Spass> on the bottom of the partitioning screen
[12:45] <xubuntu681> 1 second...
[12:46] <xubuntu681> good so there's only one device for the bootloader installation
[12:46] <xubuntu681> and in the upper window there's /dev/dsa and unused storage
[12:47] <xubuntu681> */dev/sda
[12:47] <xubuntu681> which one should i select?
[12:49] <Spass> if you want to use whole drive on linux first i suggest to delete all existing partitions
[12:49] <Spass> and then create 2 main partions on 'unused starage'
[12:49] <xubuntu681> there is only /dev/sda with no memory size and free disk space
[12:50] <Spass> create primary sda1 ext4 for whole system (/) and sda2 as a swap
[12:50] <xubuntu681> how big should those patitions be each?
[12:51] <Spass> how big is your drive? how much ram do you have on this computer?
[12:51] <xubuntu681> 500 107 MB
[12:52] <xubuntu681> 4 GB
[12:54] <Spass> first you should consider one thing - do you need two separate partitions for system files (/) and you user files (/home)
[12:54] <Spass> when you have it separate it can help you in the future when you will want to install other linux distribution
[12:55] <Spass> or... when you just want to install it "windows style" create one big partition
[12:55] <Spass> I personally have all files on one partition
[12:56] <xubuntu681> okay and which file system does it have to be?
[12:56] <cfhowlett> default = ext4
[12:56] <Spass> ext4 is default
[12:56] <Spass> yes
[12:57] <xubuntu681> what about the option below? (don't know how it's called in english) where i can select "/", "/home", "/tmp" etc.
[12:57] <Spass> "/" for whole system on one partition
[12:57] <Spass> default
[12:58] <xubuntu681> well default is empty
[12:58] <Spass> select "/"
[12:58] <xubuntu681> ok
[12:59] <Spass> and swap should be couple of GB i think, maybe 5GB? i don't know today trends
[12:59] <xubuntu681> now there's "/dev/sda" with no space, then 1MB of empty space, then "/dev/sda1", and then another MB
[13:01] <Spass> resize sda1 ext4, you should free some space for swap partition
[13:01] <Meerkat> you dont really need swap these days?
[13:02] <Spass> you don't?
[13:02] <Meerkat> the kernel will kill programs if the computer runs out of RAM. The swap will only make the last few minutes really slow until that runs out too.
[13:03] <Spass> oh, ok
[13:03] <Spass> and how about hibernate function on laptops?
[13:03] <xubuntu681> umm now there's two options for the bootloader installation
[13:04] <Spass> "/dev/sda"
[13:04] <Meerkat> Spass, you'll need the amount of RAM you have on the computer for that. But I haven't run into a situation where those features actually work on Ubuntu.
[13:04] <xubuntu681> okay good
[13:04] <xubuntu681> should i install now?
[13:05] <Spass> go for it :) let's see how it goes
[13:05] <xubuntu681> does it matter which drive i select in the upper windows?
[13:05] <xubuntu681> window*?
[13:05] <xubuntu681> like /dev/sda1?
[13:06] <Spass> what do you mean select? highlight?
[13:06] <xubuntu681> yes
[13:07] <Spass> no, i don't think that's important at this point
[13:07] <xubuntu681> okay
[13:07] <xubuntu681> ok now theres a message
[13:08] <Spass> Meerkat, ok, so i remembered it correctly
[13:10] <xubuntu681> "the partition table format in use on your disks normally requires you to create a separate partition for boot loader code. this partition should be marked as use as an 'EFI boot partition' and should be at least 35 MB in size. Note that this is not the same as a partition moundted on /boot. If you do not go back to the partitioning menu and correct this error, boot loader installation may fail later, although it may still be pos
[13:10] <xubuntu681> a partition."
[13:11] <Spass> looks like you have to create 3 partitions on your system
[13:12] <xubuntu681> so...?
[13:17] <Spass> you could try to: delete all partitions, create sda1 100MB marked as an 'EFI boot partition', sda2 495GB ext4 for "/" and sda3 5GB for swap
[13:17] <Spass> and install boot loader on "/dev/sda1"
[13:18] <xubuntu681> 100 MB?
[13:18] <Spass> but i'm just guessing at this point, i've never before encountered 'EFI'
[13:18] <Spass> yes 100 MB
[13:19] <Spass> it's just for boot loader code
[13:19] <Spass> like in this messege above you pasted
[13:20] <Spass> *message
[13:21] <xubuntu681> okay now there's the partitions and in the bottom i can choose the device for the bootloader installation
[13:21] <xubuntu681> which one should i choose there?
[13:25] <Spass> you marked (somewhere) this 100mb partition as EFI boot partition
[13:25] <xubuntu681> yes
[13:25] <xubuntu681> sda1
[13:25] <Spass> choose "/dev/sda1"
[13:25] <Spass> if possible
[13:25] <xubuntu681> okay
[13:25] <xubuntu681> continue?
[13:25] <xubuntu681> and hope?
[13:26] <Spass> yes :)
[13:26] <Spass> no strange message = good news
[13:27] <xubuntu681> data is copying
[13:31] <Spass> what version are you installing? just curious
[13:33] <xubuntu681> you mean distribution?
[13:34] <Spass> yes, and version
[13:34] <Spass> 15.10?
[13:34] <xubuntu681> i guess the latest one
[13:35] <xubuntu681> oh no it's 14.04
[13:36] <cfhowlett> still supported
[13:37] <xubuntu681> well i will probably update as soon as everything is running smoothely
[13:37] <Spass> 14.04 is a good option for start
[13:38] <Spass> it is stable and have long time support (LTS)
[13:38] <xubuntu681> hm well i actually need the computer for university only so it's not that big of a deal as long as the terminal works fine
[13:38] <cfhowlett> xubuntu681, 14.04 is long term support.  if you really NEED the lastest shiny stuff, OK, but otherwise you might find LTS the sanest option
[13:39] <xubuntu681> ok that's good then
[13:39] <Spass> yes i agree, you should stick with lts versions for stability
[13:40] <Spass> next LTS will be 16.04 so it will be released around april 2016
[13:40] <Spass> then you should upgrade
[13:40]  * cfhowlett upgrades only on the first LTS point release 14.04.1 > 16.04.1
[13:43] <xubuntu681> okay good i'll do that then
[13:43] <xubuntu681> @spass installation still in progress
[13:44] <Spass> fingers crossed
[13:48] <xubuntu681> ok restart or do i have to do something else?
[13:50] <Spass> nope
[13:50] <xubuntu681> ok wish me luck
[13:52] <xubuntu681> can i pull out the usb stick?
[13:52] <Spass> yes, after the reboot
[13:52] <Meerkat> xubuntu681, if the install is done and you have restarted then you can remove it.
[13:53] <xubuntu681> i'm in the bios to set the boot order
[13:53] <xubuntu681> so can i remove it safely?
[13:53] <Meerkat> yes
[13:53] <Spass> yes
[13:53] <Spass> :)
[13:53] <xubuntu681> good
[13:53] <xubuntu681> no bootable device.
[13:53] <Meerkat> now I have a question. Why does patching have to be so darn difficult?! :/
[13:54] <Spass> you can try to find option called 'legacy boot' in the bios
[13:54] <Meerkat> xubuntu681, what is first in your bios boot order?
[13:54] <Spass> or something like that
[13:55] <xubuntu681> hdd
[13:55] <xubuntu681> should i try legacy boot?
[13:56] <Spass> that could help
[13:56] <xubuntu681> nope
[13:56] <xubuntu681> doesn't
[13:59] <Spass> well, i'm really sorry i couldn't help you, i tried my best
[14:01] <xubuntu681> well, sh*t
[14:02] <Spass> the only possibility i can think right know is to leave legacy boot 'on' for the whole process, and try to reinstall once again, but it could be just a waste of time...
[14:03] <xubuntu681> i already tried that
[14:03] <Spass> install on sda1 ext4 "/" 495gb and sda2 swap 5gb and boot device on "/dev/sda" (not sda1) and ignore strange messages and try to boot on legacy mode
[14:04] <Spass> or try to get in touch with some linux guru lurking on this channel
[14:05] <xubuntu681> how do i know who is a linux guru :D
[14:06] <artag> by their beards and sandals
[14:06] <xubuntu681> xDD
[14:06] <Spass> :)
[14:06] <cfhowlett> NECKbeards ...
[14:08] <artag> btw no offence intended. I have a neckbeard, and a selection of far less attractive descriptions of windows geeks
[14:08] <cfhowlett> :)
[14:09] <artag> tbh though, I think what you really want is a BIOS geek. Not sure how to recognise them.
[14:12] <artag> I have a similar problem myself, where I had a perfectly working ubuntu laptop and tried to make it dual-boot win7 and mint, for largely bogus reasons. I find I'm having to change from UEFI for windows to legacy BIOS for Mint, which shouldn't be necessary
[14:12] <artag> If I ever find I actually want to use the win7 part I mihgt have to try harder to fix that
[14:16] <Unit193> You need to install Xubuntu under secureboot then, don't install in legacy mode.
[14:16] <Unit193> Specifically, the 64bit version.
[14:18] <artag> I'll try it again. Ideally I should do that before there's much stuff to backup
[14:19] <xubuntu681> does anybody have any idea for me?
[14:28] <xubuntu681> please?
[14:31] <krytarik> xubuntu681: I didn't follow the whole thing, but did you read Unit193's message? Also, you can try in #ubuntu for that too.
[14:32] <Unit193> krytarik: I didn't either. :3
[14:32] <krytarik> Heh.
[14:32] <xubuntu681> so i have to uefi boot with secure mode turned ON?
[14:36] <xubuntu681> ?
[14:43] <krytarik> xubuntu681: Doesn't Unit193's message imply that?
[14:45] <xubuntu681> krytarik: yes, english = shit :D
[14:55] <krytarik> xubuntu681: Would you rather #ubuntu-de then?
[14:56] <xubuntu681> krytarik it's fine, but i'm sometimes not sure about commands and stuff you guys write :D
[15:02] <Unit193> krytarik: He's in #ubuntu, all good.
[15:06] <xubuntu681> i'm in #ubuntu-de aswell but they don't seem to answer
[15:09] <krytarik> xubuntu681: Just have a bit patience, it's usually pretty active there.
[15:09] <xubuntu681> ok
[15:12] <williangarcia> Hi , Can i fix my restart option , when I will restart my computer screen just hangs, but when I will shutdown my PC work fine...
[15:12] <williangarcia> how can i fix **
[17:20] <kozukumi> how do i edit the grub menu from xubuntu 15.10?
[17:20] <kozukumi> actually i dont even need it, can i make it just boot to linux now?
[17:23] <kozukumi> is there a gksu for xfce that is built in?
[17:35] <krytarik> kozukumi: "pkexec mousepad /etc/default/grub"
[17:36] <kozukumi> krytarik, thanks but i cant seem to figure out everything from /etc/grub.d/ files
[17:38] <krytarik> kozukumi: Huh, aren't you following like this?: http://askubuntu.com/questions/143500/how-can-i-boot-directly-to-ubuntu-after-removing-windows-from-a-dual-boot
[17:43] <kozukumi> how can i stop it detecting the windows partition when it does an update?
[17:50] <krytarik> kozukumi: "GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true" from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Setup#Configuring_GRUB_2
[17:50] <kozukumi> awesome, thank you!
[17:50] <krytarik> Sure.
[17:55] <kozukumi> works perfectly, thanks krytarik
[17:55] <krytarik> Alright. :)
[17:58] <kozukumi> it seems to wait a couple of seconds on a "black" screen tho which is a bit odd, im gonna see if i can get grub to just fire up the default instantly
[18:04] <krytarik> kozukumi: I think that's the time it loads the kernel though.
[18:04] <kozukumi> ah ok
[18:04] <kozukumi> strange because if i have it prompt me and i hit enter right away it boots faster
[18:04] <kozukumi> hmmm
[18:07] <kozukumi> is it possible to disable grub and just have it boot right into linux or do i need to use grub to do that?
[18:15] <krytarik> kozukumi: You need some sort of boot loader, yes - and Grub is the default on Ubuntu.
[18:16] <kozukumi> ok cheers
[18:16] <kozukumi> gonna try and get an image on it now lol
[18:30] <kozukumi> right well everything is almost perfect :)
[18:30] <kozukumi> last thing is to work out how to get window edge for resizing a bit bigger
[18:32] <drc> kozukumi: The only way I know (with deep voodoo) is Settings>Window Manager>Theme=Greybird-accessibility
[18:32] <drc> s/with/without
[18:32] <kozukumi> drc yeah
[18:33] <drc> Which make the windows about 3 pixels too big for the way I do thing :(
[18:33] <kozukumi> sucks
[18:33] <kozukumi> i wish i could set it to 5 pixels or something but without fucking up the theme
[18:34] <krytarik> kozukumi: Just work around it :P - http://xubuntu.org/news/window-resizing-in-xubuntu-and-xfce/
[18:34] <kozukumi> yeah i use alt+rightclick
[18:34] <kozukumi> works ok 90% of the time for my needs
[18:34] <kozukumi> bit of a pain when i am just using the mouse
[20:18] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> Hi
[20:18] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> Does anyone know what happened with the whole wireless-regdb thing in Xubuntu/ubuntu
[20:18] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> I'm on 14.04
[20:18] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> I wanted to make my own regulatory.bin
[20:18] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> but I have no idea where to put it
[20:19] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> What does iw reg get/set rely on?
[20:34] <bekks> wireless-regdb? Never heard of it.
[20:35] <ochosi> J_EDGAR_HOOVER: that doesn't sound like it's xubuntu specific
[20:37] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> It's maybe part of the linux kernel or.. GNU project
[20:37] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> It seems that Xubuntu must have some specific place where the regulatory domain file is
[20:37] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> When you type as su ... <iw reg get> you get your domain location
[20:38] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> if you do <iw reg set NZ> you uncap it a bit.
[20:38] <Unit193> Are you actually asking or is this the same stuff you were going over in ##linux?
[20:38] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> I'm actually asking.
[20:38] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> Like I know as much as I just said.. and that in the past you could compile your own regulatory.bin file, then verify it.
[20:39] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> But now it's like they "obfuscated it" and i'm not sure if that's Xubuntu doing it or the Linux/GNU team
[20:39] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> They probably don't publish much about it because the more they do, the more people will uncap their NIC's tx power and violate the FCC or applicable government regulation body
[20:39] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> So I'll just assume that, until I hear anything else.
[20:39] <Unit193> Perhaps see regulatory.bin(5) and /lib/crda/regulatory.bin
[20:40] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> Oh wow I think it's right there. Thank you so much
[20:40] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> It could be one I put there, but I think that's the location in Xubuntu :D ty
[20:42] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> if anyone's interested following this should allow you to make your own replacement regulatory.bin , but keep in mind you munst make another file too to "verify" it. http://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/set-your-wi-fi-cards-tx-power-higher-than-30-dbm-0149606/
[20:46] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> How do I untar these kinds of files
[20:46] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> crda-latest.tar.bz2               wireless-regdb-2015.10.22.tar.xz
[20:46] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> wireless-regdb-2015.10.22.tar.gz
[20:46] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> Well other than the bz2
[20:46] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> im trying tar xvjf
[20:48] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> nvm ill just open thunar as root
[20:50] <hoodedice> I mapped SuperUser to whisker menu -- it makes it easier to open programs.
[20:51] <hoodedice> The thing is, Mousepad is something I use often, but when I type "Mouse", the selector is on "Mouse and Touchpad"
[20:51] <hoodedice> Is there a way to add an alias to the Mousepad entry in the whisker menu settings so I can type, say, "text" and it will open mousepad?
[20:53] <mrkramps> hoodedice, no and yes
[20:54] <mrkramps> just create a new menu entry
[20:55] <hoodedice> gotcha
[20:55] <hoodedice> thanks
[20:55] <mrkramps> hoodedice, copy /usr/share/applications/mousepad.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/texteditor.desktop
[20:56] <mrkramps> edit the copy and change name to "Text Editor"
[20:56] <mrkramps> optionally, delete all content from this file not required
[20:57] <hoodedice> okay, I'll try it out
[21:24] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> Think I did it...
[21:24] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> root@network:/home/cia/Desktop/WirelessRegNew/crda-1.1.3# make
[21:24] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER>   CHK  /usr/lib/crda/regulatory.bin
[21:24] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> root@network:/home/cia/Desktop/WirelessRegNew/crda-1.1.3# make install
[21:24] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER>  GZIP crda.8
[21:24] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER>  GZIP regdbdump.8
[21:24] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER>   INSTALL  crda
[21:24] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER>   INSTALL  regdbdump
[21:24] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER>   INSTALL  85-regulatory.rules
[21:24] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER>   INSTALL  crda.8.gz
[21:24] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER>   INSTALL  regdbdump.8.gz
[21:24] <hoodedice> uh
[21:28] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> Problem is i'm not sure wher eit put the new regulatory.bin
[21:28] <Unit193> !pastebin | J_EDGAR_HOOVER
[21:28] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> it wants /usr/lib/cdra but in xubuntu its /lib/crda
[21:28] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> crda*
[21:28] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> Ok.
[21:28] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> sorry
[21:30] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> Well I replaced the regulatory.bin
[21:30] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> and got the pubkeys right
[21:30] <J_EDGAR_HOOVER> should be OK on reboot. wish me luck :)
[23:12] <kozukumi> can i remove the lock screen button from the main whisker menu?
[23:14] <kozukumi> ah yes i can :D
[23:39] <xubuntu29w> Hi ! I have a basic question...
[23:40] <drc> xubuntu29w: You're in luck, we are overstocked in Basic Answers...just ask :)
[23:42] <xubuntu29w> I connect my android phone to my laptop with a usb cable and wants to open some pictures but I cannot look at them
[23:42] <xubuntu29w> when I click on them
[23:42] <xubuntu29w> nothing is displayed...
[23:42] <xubuntu29w> any reason?
[23:42] <hoodedice> you need to mount your sd card
[23:43] <xubuntu29w> I have to save them first and after click on them to be abe to look at them...
[23:43] <hoodedice> on your desktop, there should be a greyed out drive
[23:43] <hoodedice> save them?
[23:43] <hoodedice> oh, you already mounted it, missed that, sorry
[23:44] <xubuntu29w> yes already mounted...
[23:44] <xubuntu29w> and yes... I need to save them on my hard drive to look at the pictures..
[23:47] <xubuntu29w> but if I click on a folder the pictures are displayed in the folder andca look at them all as view icons or view as detailed list...
[23:47] <xubuntu29w> but when I click on oe of them in this case it doesnt work. the picture is not displayed
