[00:25] I have a virus Exe here with me anyone knows a way to read what the virus does? [00:32] Troller, no. [00:34] =( [01:05] hello [01:06] how do you do? [01:07] I was trying to make it work under xubuntu 15.10 [01:48] How do I enable adobe flash on mozilla so I can video chat? [01:49] Which website are you using? [01:50] teledoc [01:50] teladoc [01:51] xubuntu162, Ok. [01:52] xubuntu162, have you tried using html5 options? [01:53] (Those are preferable.) [01:54] I'm afraid I am super new to Linux and don't know much [01:54] sry [01:54] html5? [01:54] Hey, at least you are here! [01:54] :-) [01:55] 5th version of HTML [01:55] yeah, trying to learn [01:55] How do I check my version? [01:55] Just a min. Have to take care of something. (You don't have to check your version.) [01:56] ah... k. Thanks for helping [02:00] tried to get adobe download but I can't remember how to get stuff. I need practice :/ [02:00] xubuntu162, I'm back. [02:01] oh hey [02:01] Long time no chat, huh? [02:01] ;-P [02:01] Oh, you have no idea [02:02] I haven't IRC chatted since the 90's [02:02] Was a Windows guy all the way up until 2 months ago [02:02] had a buddy at work install Linux on this laptop [02:03] Cool! [02:03] Ok, this should get you started. http://www.webupd8.org/2014/05/install-fresh-player-plugin-in-ubuntu.html [02:03] still trying to remember how to download stuff/make stuff work [02:04] I did this, but I don't use Flash for 98% of what I do. [02:05] got it... I am only trying to use it this once for a doctor consult [02:05] in 40 min [02:06] This should only take 10 min max. [02:06] xubuntu162, what step are you on? [02:07] Just reading where it says it won't work for Firefox users [02:07] ??? [02:07] Ah, but it does. ;-) [02:08] fresh player is a wrapper for pepperflash. [02:09] In Ubuntu wily+, browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash+adobe-flashplugin [02:09] xubuntu162, just scroll down to "1.

[02:14] xubuntu162, Um, just use "sudo apt-get remove freshplayerplugin" [02:15] Then, "sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8" [02:15] And then, "sudo apt update" [02:16] unable to locate package freshplayer [02:16] and finally, "sudo apt install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash" [02:18] xubuntu162, I have to go... mom says.

Bye Johnny [03:33] Unit193, did xubuntu162 get help? [03:40] JohnnyComeL8ly: He quit shortly after you did. [03:40] Oh, bummer. === Ofloo_ is now known as Ofloo [07:14] Hmm, seems like pulseaudio , init and indicator-sound does not die after user logout (Was logged in via Teamviewer) [07:15] aptitud eupdate says: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [07:15] E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ [07:16] aand there is apt-get having a lock on /var/lib/apt/lists/lock [07:17] I can only guess apt=get got frozen because user was doing standby instead of shutting down [07:17] That machine has problems shutting down [07:18] Or cron'd apt-get update. [07:18] it wasn't doing anythin gon top [07:20] hmm, aptitude update says.. connecting to archive.ubuntu.com .. and stays there... [07:21] same with apt-get update, it says connecting to archive.ubuntu.com , finds IP and just holds there... [07:23] it continued now [07:23] low speed but.. [07:24] Use a local mirror? [07:24] I sort of remember setting main server intensionally [07:24] local mirror used to be not in sync in previous years and that caused problems [07:25] now holding again on aptitude update on archive.ubutu.com... [07:28] I use us.archive.ubuntu.com for example. [07:29] I use main - which is about 80 miles from me - it's slow as molasses today [07:29] I know I change it to main, because local mirror kept not being in sync in previous years for some reason [07:29] so it *might* well just be slow atm [07:29] ofc [07:30] nikolam: Ah, wasn't sure if you meant the Canonical or public mirror. [07:31] I am not sure if regional/national mirrors ara managed by canonical, I think they are not [07:33] The ones that have *.archive.ubuntu.com certainly are, for example the us one is: AS41231 Canonical Ltd in Boston. [07:45] I used to have bad experiences with amny users with locals Serbian mirror in years before, people used to end up in weird and broken package states so I started recommending uing main one [07:45] worth checking out on LoCo etc [07:47] There's also local mirrors: http://mirrors.ubuntu.com/ and status info: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors [07:59] yeah, there seems to be no national mirror Atm, it points to Brasil mirror [08:35] Huh interesting , it does not want to shutdown with sudo shutdown -P now [08:38] it just doesnt shuts down.. [10:12] Hey can anyone help me understand whats going on wih my laptop. I've have been using xubuntu 15.10 on my laptop for a week or so. But after a update nothing worked. Drivers for wifi was gone usb did not work. My GPU drivers was gone but removeing the linux kernel 4.2.0.17 and going back to 3.19 fixed all of this. Any idea what the problem might be? [11:02] declow, sounds like either the drivers or your hardware do not work with the newer kernel - just use the old one [11:21] Okay it's kinda strange I have never had a problem like this before. But whatever I will just keep using 3.19 then === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [12:48] hi! I have a problem, and hope that it can be helped. In XFCE power manager, I have set the system to ask me what to do when I press the power button. It works, but there's an ugly exception: if my screen is locked when I press the button, the system just shuts down. Is there a way to disable this misbehavior? [12:54] I recently upgraded form xfce 4.10 to 4.12 in 14.04. But now some applications (especially the dialogs) seem to have some kind of weird black and white theme. Does anyone know what is up with that? [12:54] pjotter, try a different theme; [12:54] I already did. The black and white theme stays the same. [12:55] I observe this behaviour in mousepad for instance. If I open the open dialog, all icons are suddenly black and white. [12:57] screenshots are welcome :) [13:22] RQ: where can I upload the screenshot? === dreamon__ is now known as dreamon [15:02] hello [15:02] i need help with something [15:02] i have a 20GB space [15:03] i'm trying to install ubuntu but i get a No root file system is defined [15:04] the space was 120GB and i allocated 20GB for ubuntu which is now marked as free space [16:40] I use SUPER key (windows key) to pop up the whisker menu. However, when I use SUPER + F it will also open thunar and the whisker menu at the same time. It would be better to open just thunar. [16:41] Is there a way to fix that behavior? [16:41] evandrojr: perhaps do what I do - I have whisker open with Super Right [16:43] That is a nice workaround, but is not the ideal solution :( [16:44] possibly not - not sure how you're going to tell the system that Super is only Super if you don't use another key - or the reverse of that [16:44] wait and see if someone else can tell you how to do that [16:44] Thanks flocculant! [16:45] welcome - ftr - I scratched my head with that for a while :) [16:48] I will save my brain and use your workaround [16:50] heh [16:51] I developed a ruby script that monitors a directory for mkv avi and mp4 files. When a new file arrives it will download the subtitles in ANY different languages for that movie and make a symlink for your favorite language. [16:53] The only thing is that it does not work when I add it to session / start programs . I will have to add it to my rc.local [16:54] Does anyone has a clue it does not work when I set it at session / start programs? [16:55] Does it log somewhere? === dkessel_ is now known as dkessel [18:28] So help me out with some confirmation bias here guys. I've been tasked by work to setup a bunch of old computers with GNU/Linux for a charity. The machines are of varying age and performance but most are from the Vista/early win7 days. They should preferably have the same distro on them so the people using them only need to learn 1 system. They must be easy to maintain for years since no one with much GNU/Linux experiance can be [18:28] expected to help them out (often). So far I'm think Xubuntu might be a good fit since it should be a solid base with an LTS release and still fit the more light weight machines. [18:29] about what level of resources the machines have? [18:30] 1-2GB RAM, Atoms, Pentiums (from the core 2 era), Core 2 Duos and one Core i5 that I belive is from the sandybridge generation (havent had time to look over that machine yet) [18:30] So quite a wide range of hardware. One of them is the original ASUS EeePC I think [18:31] some of the eeepc's at least would struggle with xubuntu [18:31] There are some others I havent had time to look over as well but in that range [18:32] or at least, wouldn't be very comfortable to use [18:32] knome: Well thats the bottom of the spectrum, everything else should be faster so if one of them is a big slow I think people can live with it [18:32] is a bit* [18:32] if you have 1GB+ RAM, then it should be pretty good [18:32] Its probably more important to have a unified experiance [18:32] I think they all do [18:32] yeah, i agree, i've just used an eeepc with xubuntu, and that wasn't fun [18:33] when are you about to set them up? [18:34] Pretty much whenever I get a free timeslot at work or if I feel like doing it at my free time (its a fun project and work is not charging them for it anyway). I took a few of them home with me to look over today and get started so hopefully right now [18:34] if you are about to use xubuntu, then i'd wait until 16.04 is out if possible [18:34] that's in 5 months [18:34] knome: Yeah I figured :P [18:34] i understand that might be a bit too much... [18:35] 14.04 is only supported until 2017, so you have about 1,5 years with it [18:35] knome: And yeah I was sort of hoping to have a fresh LTS to work with but thats not going to happen I think. They need the machines sort of soon at least [18:35] right... [18:36] Also I've noticed a problematic behavior on earlier machines I've setup with Xubuntu in the past. Old kernels are not removed if the machine is set to auto-update which tends to fill their /boot and make them unable to install or upgrade anything. Thats a real usability problem [18:36] Thats not really inspiring confidence in setting them up for extended periods without someone familiar with the system to fix that [18:36] Dezponia, you may setup a cron job for handling this issue [18:37] mrkramps: Yeah I can, just seems to be such an obvious oversight. I've never seen any other distro do that except Ubuntu :P [18:38] but you're right, they should finally provide a solution for old kernels [18:40] http://askubuntu.com/questions/345588/what-is-the-safest-way-to-clean-up-boot-partition/430944#430944 <- at the end of that comment, see the part about unattended upgrades and the apt config [18:41] knome: The tip at the bottom there looks to be what I'm after for this scenario. Thanks! [18:43] of course, as always, note that this might introduce other problems... [18:43] knome: Whats the worse that can happen? :P [18:44] knome: Nah but i know. At least this COULD cause problems while the /boot 100% issue WILL happen without it [18:44] So pick your poison I guess :) [18:48] Dezponia: the /boot issue only affects if you use encrypted iirc - not sure if you're doing that [18:48] it uses an ext2 partition for /boot [18:50] flocculant: I dont encrypt. Still happening [18:51] perhaps it's lvm that does it then [18:54] flocculant: Whats supposed to happen? I just using the auto partioning for those installs [18:56] ok - so it's not the /boot with encrypt and/or lvm then :) [18:56] that's where /boot is set to ~260Mb [18:57] Dezponia, i don't know; if i knew, then that could be probably be avoided and we didn't need disclaimers like this :) [19:23] hello team [19:23] happy diwali [19:23] need a small help [19:23] with Xubuntu on Virtual machine [19:23] VirtualBox is the tool i am using [19:23] and i am not able to connect my USB external disk [19:24] getting error verr_PDM_NO_USB_PORTS [19:24] please advise [19:24] thank you [19:24] usb access enabled in vbox? [19:24] yes, [19:24] i have added the virtual box addons [19:24] is it usb 3.0? [19:24] and there are 3 options, USB 1.1, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 [19:24] i selected 2.0 [19:24] as my laptop doesn't have 3.0 ports [19:25] guest additions installed? [19:25] i followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xoHpIMPbIc [19:25] if that's what u are reffering to. [19:26] exactly [19:26] how many usb devices are connected? [19:26] well [19:26] if i go to my VM -> Devices -> USB -> there are 4 which are shown [19:27] 2 unknown devices, 1 External disk and 1 2.4G wireless mouse receiver [19:28] is there anymore information required, please advise and i will do my best to get it [19:28] hm, strange … the error message is about no finding a free usb port, but afaik the limit is greater than 4 (8? 12? or something) [19:29] usb hub in use? [19:29] i need some guidence to find this info :( [19:30] a usb hub is just a simple device to attach multiple devices to one usb port … like a switch [19:30] so i guess, you're not using one ^^ [19:31] well no [19:31] i like to keep things simple, :D [19:34] Sid__, but your host system is recognizing the usb disk? [19:35] yes, but once i select VM -> Devices -> USB -> external disk [19:35] it doesn't show in my computer [19:35] screen [19:36] what kind of host system - in terms of operating system - are you running? [19:38] windows 7 64 bit [19:39] Guest Xubuntu wily version [19:40] Sid__, have you tested other usb devices? like a storage stick? [19:41] hmm [19:41] let me check and get back @ you [19:41] right now the guest OS is switched off. [19:41] is there some setting u want me to change? [19:41] actually not [19:41] you boot the guest an try if it recognize other usb devices [19:42] doing that [19:42] will advise shortly [19:44] USB pen drive worked [19:44] USB external Hard disk didn't :( [19:45] ok, so it is not a general issue [19:45] enable the usb 3.0 support, reboot guest and connect the external drive [19:46] ok [19:46] Also i realized 2 other issues... 1) screen resolution isn't 1366*768 [19:46] 2) no sound [19:47] let me complete this usb issue [19:48] GOD BLESS UR SOUL!!! IT worked [19:49] i realized the case was USB 3.0 [19:49] hence the issue [19:49] USB is working [19:49] Yay!!!! [19:49] :D [19:49] now the other 2 issues.. screen resolution and No sound [19:49] :( [19:49] Sid__, i'm rejoicing with you, but please do not use enter as punctuation [19:49] Understood.. [19:50] I am using IRC first time in my life. so sorry for any trouble caused. will remember this. [19:50] no problem [19:50] did you install the guest additions? after you did that, you can change your resolution to what you wish [19:51] i did install the guest addition tools.. by following the steps in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xoHpIMPbIc [19:51] I am seeing all the resolutions except 1366*768 [19:54] why do you need that exact resolution? [19:55] full screen according to my laptop resolution [19:55] why don't you just maximise the virtualbox window? [19:58] it isn't the full screen. Maximizing has 2 grey vertical bars [19:58] maximizing the virtualbox i mean [19:58] then go into the full screen mode [20:00] Sid__, how much video memory is assigned for the guest os? [20:01] 128 MB [20:01] full [20:02] ok, should be enough then [20:06] hmm.. i am trying re-install the guest additions [20:06] maybe i might have missed a step or two [20:06] Sid__, reinstall from command and check for errors [20:06] sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-x11 [20:07] sudo apt-get install --reinstall virtualbox-guest-x11 [20:07] sry [20:09] first command let me know that it is already the newest version [20:10] second command gave a warning. warning message - start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults [20:10] but the second command reinstalled the package? [20:11] it unpacked the package, processed some triggers and then gave me the aforementioned warning.. [20:12] and waiting for me to give commands [20:16] my VM has come with a guest Additions ISO file. which i can mount. is there any thing i can do to use that to install guest additions on my Xubuntu [20:16] Sid__, reboot guest os and check if there's any improvement [20:16] ok, mrkramps [20:17] then you may either try the guest additions from the iso file or try to add a custom resolution [20:17] hmm [20:20] i noticed that when i am starting my Guest os (Xubuntu) i am getting error "VBoxClient : Failed to connect to the virtualBox kernel service, rc=VERR_ACCESS_DENIED' [20:21] could this be the cause? [20:29] hello [20:29] o [20:29] Sid__, probably you could try running the virtualbox client on windows host as administrator [20:29] hmm.. let me try that [20:31] Sid__, otherwise try https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#idp47384986692304 [20:31] and always reboot the guest os to apply the changes [20:32] i always power off the guest OS [20:32] anyways logining as admin didn't help [20:33] as it is showing the same issues [20:33] how to connect to this IRC channel via Pidgin? What's server name? [20:33] however, i am seeing a CD icon on my xubuntu desktop [20:33] and i am hoping this will solve the guest additions installation problem [20:34] dragon76: chat.freenode.net, but be warned, pidgin is not a good irc client. [20:34] only thing i am not understanding is how to execute the installtion from that CD.. [20:34] dragon76, the name of the server you want to connect to [20:35] dragon76, use irc.freenode.net to connect to this netwerk we are currently on [20:35] thanks! [20:36] Sid__, afaik you have to start cd installation of guest additions from the command line [20:38] well [20:38] i managed to get it executing. i will update u guys..thank you [20:38] ok [20:38] Thanks, mrkramps [20:38] it's work [20:39] it seems i was in the wrong directory... [20:39] I like xubuntu much more and more :) [20:40] i want to learn more about it :) and I hope i will be able enough to contribute to this community [20:41] Sid__, concerning your sound card you may also try another virtual hardware from the audio settings [20:41] Yes, now the issue of resolution is done..

[20:50] you'Re welcome! [20:52] hello. while trying to install trillian in xubuntu 15.10, I have these unmet dependencies. http://pastebin.com/xCWkyuCm it worked in 15.04, should I just wait for it to be updated or something? [20:52] BTW a quick question, u know how to remove the gmusicbrowser from the sound icon? like when i click it. it is present there [20:55] Sid__: Do you just want to remove GMB from the menu, or do you not use it/use something else? [20:56] can i play dota 2 on xubuntu ? [20:56] remove it completely [20:56] and from the menu [20:57] Sid__: Un-installing it should remove it from the menu (did on my machine) [20:58] r00d, yes [20:59] hmm.. I did uninstall but it is still present. may be a reboot will work :) let me check and advise [21:00] maybe just a logout? [21:00] too late :P ... i am almost finished the restart process [21:01] AH! now the GMP is not there [21:01] thank you [21:01] np, enjoy [21:02] Noskcaj : what i need wine for that ? [21:02] r00d, no, dota will run on windows, linux, or OSX === azeam_afk is now known as azeam [21:05] Noskcaj : wow its great i can play dota again :) thanks [21:30] hello? [21:52] How is multimedia support in xubuntu out of the box (with the extra "fluendo mp3" box ticked during install). Anything more that should be added post-install to give it "complete" multimedia support? [21:54] Dezponia: I haven't found anything I wanted to play (audio or video) that I need anything extra. No saying there aren't, I just never needed anything else. [21:55] But if you don't want to do it that way you could just wait until after and install xubuntu restricted extras, that works also. [21:57] drc: Cursory glance at the installed gstreamer packages suggests the support is pretty fully fledged [21:58] Now I just need to load these machines up with a decent selection of free kid friendly games from the repos [22:07] Sounds like a plan. [22:08] secret maryo chronicles [22:31] i was wondering if anyone could tell why i have an issue [22:32] the problem is when i disable my onboard monitor i get a funky box near wereever my mouse is
