[11:11] <ubikite> hi, i'm trying to prevent monitor from sleeping. i've tried inserting a bash script with set of xset commands inside ~/.config/autostart/filename.desktop file; no changes when execute xset q command. i'm declaring my DISPLAY variable properly. i've tried removing xfce4-power-manager package and still the monitor goes to sleep. any suggestions? ideas?
[11:20] <ubikite> ok, seems i've solved it. you have execute parameters in just one command like /usr/bin/xset -display ":0.0" -dpms s noblank
[13:19] <xubuntu150> h
[13:19] <xubuntu150> hi
[16:02] <rauldipeas> Hey guys, anyone can help me with Compton on Xubuntu 15.04?
[16:03] <GeekDude> 15.10 has been interesting. I put it on a spare desktop that had graphical issues with previous versions requiring me to use nomodeset to get to the desktop. In 15.10 it just works :)
[16:04] <GeekDude> However, WINE 1.7 does not appear to be "just work"ing. I installed a missing package using a deb from wily and it installed, but it refuses to draw the program to the screen. Other programs such as winecfg seem to work, however
[16:05] <GeekDude> I'm tempted to blame the graphics card
[16:07] <GeekDude> card/chipset
[16:29] <GeekDude> Huh, who would've guessed. Works in the officially supported wine1.6 build from the repos
[16:33] <GeekDude> Not perfectly, but it does work
[16:48] <taza79> Hello, how can i install xubuntu without touching the mbr and windows boatloader?
[16:49] <ikonia> same way I told you in #ubuntu
[16:49] <Luyin> :D
[16:50] <taza79> i'm asking everywhere maybe some guy will give me the perfect solution :D
[16:50] <ikonia> there isnt one
[16:50] <ikonia> as I've just told you in #ubuntu
[16:50] <ikonia> but the overhead makes it easier to just manage the MBR cleanly
[16:50] <ikonia> it's possible, sure
[16:50] <taza79> i asked because i once saw a youtube video and the guy was showing how to do it
[16:51] <ikonia> then why are you asking how to do it ?
[16:51] <ikonia> just use his guide
[16:51] <ikonia> but it will hit the same problems I explained in #ubuntu
[16:51] <taza79> because i can't find the video it was a long time ago
[16:52] <ikonia> something has to live on the MBR
[16:52] <ikonia> it can be whatever you want, but whatever you use must be able to point at the play you put grub to be able to boot ubuntu
[16:52] <taza79> the noboot option in grub install is it a solution for me?
[16:53] <taza79> noinstallboot or something like that
[16:53] <ikonia> no
[16:53] <ikonia> because then there will be nothing to boot ubuntu
[16:54] <taza79> two mbr is impossible?
[16:54] <ikonia> yes
[16:54] <ikonia> a disk can only have 1 mbr
[16:54] <ikonia> hence "master" boot record
[16:55] <taza79> easybcd works with windows 10 and new ubuntu?
[16:56] <ikonia> why would you use that ?
[16:56] <ikonia> that is just going to put easyboot on the MBR
[16:56] <taza79> http://askubuntu.com/questions/561254/install-ubuntu-14-04-1-lts-without-losing-windows-7-bootloader
[16:56] <ikonia> which if you're going to do that, just put grub on the MBR and make it simpler
[16:56] <ikonia> you still lose it
[16:56] <ikonia> as whatever you use to control the boot - will live on the MBR
[16:59] <taza79> i understand i'm just trying to do an impossible thing
[16:59] <ikonia> then stop
[16:59] <ikonia> and confirm to the real world
[16:59] <ikonia> conform
[16:59] <taza79> yes
[17:00] <taza79> the thing is i'm tring to avoid dvd repair things
[17:00] <taza79> easybcd is it better for me since i want to avoid dvd repair?
[17:00] <ikonia> no
[17:00] <taza79> like restoring the mbr with easycd and then remove ubuntu
[17:00] <ikonia> you could simpley take a backup of the windows boot sector before you install ubuntu and restore it if you ever want to delete ubuntu
[17:02] <taza79> do you have a good tutorial on how to backup windows boot sector?
[17:03] <ikonia> dd if=/dev/sda of=/where/you/want/to/put/it.bin bs=512k count=1
[17:05] <taza79> thanks for your replies
[17:09] <genii> I might use .mbr extension instead
[17:14] <ikonia> call it whatever you're happy with
[20:06] <xubuntu46i> Hey
[20:06] <xubuntu46i> I am new to Xubuntu
[20:06] <knome> hello
[20:12] <GeekDude> ...
[20:12] <GeekDude> his enthusiasm is overwhelming
[21:19] <xubuntu59w> hello is there any body ??
[21:20] <flocculant> I've got one
[21:22] <xubuntu59w> if i upgrade from 12.04 to 14.. i m not going to lose my sys? bc im a non pae
[21:23] <SlidingHorn> !upgrade | xubuntu59w
[21:23] <xubuntu59w> my machine is a ibm t42 ..
[21:24] <xubuntu59w> so you say no fear to upgrade to 14..
[21:24] <flocculant> xubuntu59w: hang on
[21:24] <flocculant> those pages don't make any reference to pae that I can see
[21:25] <xubuntu59w> i love my xubuntu and dont want to use another one ..
[21:26] <flocculant> xubuntu59w: do you know what processor it has?
[21:27] <xubuntu59w> intel 1.8
[21:27] <xubuntu59w> ram 1 gb
[21:28] <function9x> if it's working well, I'd leave it as it is
[21:28] <function9x> until you upgrade your pc
[21:30] <xubuntu59w> function9x you mean buy a new one... this ibm is very expensive i bought it 6 years ago.
[21:31] <xubuntu59w> i will follow on what you say but what can i do with message upgrade from my sys
[21:31] <flocculant> and you're sure it's not got pae?
[21:31] <knome> function9x, except that 12.04 is EOL and there is no support for it.
[21:33] <xubuntu59w> thnaks flocculant.
[21:33] <function9x> knome: what's the minimum specs requirement for 14?
[21:34] <flocculant> xubuntu59w: just a quick check of the processor for a t42 appears to show it's pae
[21:35] <xubuntu59w> flocculant where did you get that info or how can i know is that ok?
[21:36] <flocculant> xubuntu59w: try running this in a terminal grep pae /proc/cpuinfo
[21:36] <flocculant> does it show up?
[21:37] <xubuntu59w> i got Permission denied
[21:38] <flocculant> grep pae /proc/cpuinfo
[21:38] <flocculant> for that?
[21:40] <xubuntu59w> do not show anything
[21:40] <function9x> bbl
[21:40] <flocculant> xubuntu59w: ok - just making sure
[21:41] <xubuntu59w> dont worry and thanks
[21:41] <flocculant> given that I would not try and upgrade, it might be possible, but I don't know for usre
[21:41] <flocculant> but you are now unsupported so you need to deal with that somehow
[21:43] <xubuntu59w> ################### PC INFORMATION  -  cpu ##################### ################### Press CTRL + C to exit #####################  CPU:       Single core Intel Pentium M (-UP-) cache: 2048 KB            speed/max: 1000/1800 MHz grep pae /proc/cpuinfo
[21:44] <flocculant> what's that?
[21:44] <xubuntu59w> thats what i got from my sys ans
[21:44] <flocculant> grep pae /proc/cpuinfo |pastebinit
[21:44] <xubuntu59w> and no info from grep
[21:45] <flocculant> ok
[21:45] <SlidingHorn> xubuntu59w, run this and give us the link:  grep pae /proc/info | pastebinit
[21:45] <flocculant> might not have pastebinit installed though
[21:45] <xubuntu59w> uhmm.
[21:47] <flocculant> uhmm what?
[21:49] <xubuntu59w> i going to chk it. thanks for your help,
[21:51] <xubuntu59w> good luck..
