[00:00] <recon_lap> not sure if anyone is interested but manages to get xubuntu installed, seems I had two issues, motherboard shorting onto the case and conflicts between SATA hdd and ATA DVD drive
[00:01] <function9x> yikes, hope the mobo is not damaged after that short
[00:02] <recon_lap> well, short was stopping it from turning on
[00:03] <recon_lap> the hdd conflict was evil though, it just caused random lockups.
[02:08] <rritoch> Hi, I just upgraded to wily werewolf and I'm having a problem starting KDE (Plasma). Half way through the initialization the X server stops functioning.  To make a long story short I can't debug the problem because I can't get the X server to stop. How do I shutdown the X server so I can launch everything manually? Before the update I could just 'service sddm stop' to launch manually and debug
[02:08] <rritoch> Now SDDM autorestarts, as does X
[02:10] <rritoch> For whatever reason, XFCE works, I just can't get the X server to stop so I can launch startkde & X manually.
[02:13] <rritoch> Ok, I think I found it, there's a "new" file, /etc/X11/Xsession.options which I needed to comment out the "allow-failsafe"
[02:16] <rritoch> Well, that was a complete waste of time. Manually it starts fine, it's just the sddm startup that's broken
[03:45] <rritoch> I'm going to try to re-install the intel graphics drivers, since the screen is blacking out it must be a driver issue, I just don't know how the bug only exists when logging in from sddm, and not when starting startkde manually.
[03:49] <rritoch> Well, I'm at a complete loss
[03:51] <rritoch> Re-installing the video drivers had no effect. As far as I know sddm launches kde by running X and then startkde (per the configurations) yet it doesn't work and blacks out durring the initialization. When I stop sddm and launch X and startkde manually it works.
[03:53] <rritoch> Since this "forum" is so responsive I'm just going to report it as a bug.
[03:55] <rritoch> Yeah, it must be a bug, dmesg is reporting segfaults
[04:10] <rritoch> Well, I narrowed down the problem slightly, kde will only run as root :(
[09:49] <melodie> hi
[09:49] <melodie> does Xubuntu have several icon themes by default, brought by depends in a mandatory way? such as gnome-icon-theme, adwaita, ubuntu-mono?
[09:50] <melodie> this is why I am asking the question:
[09:50] <melodie> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/1510709
[09:57] <function9x> melodie: yes adwaita looks broken
[09:57] <melodie> hi function9x
[09:58] <melodie> no it's not broken, it's mandatory instead of being compulsory
[09:58] <melodie> and it's not about adwaita, it's about libgtk-3-common which all of a sudden in Debian Jessie has adwaita-icon-theme as a mandatory dependency
[09:59] <melodie> can you read in the bug report? not just part of it?
[10:07] <function9x> melodie: you don't think it's broken? http://imgur.com/ydvLUzG
[10:07] <function9x> bbl
[10:07] <melodie> I look at your link
[10:08] <melodie> function9x I think it should not be a mandatory depend to that libgtk 3 common, for a start
[10:28] <melodie> function9x I just saw
[10:29] <melodie> could you add a comment on my bug report, and include the direct link to your image? http://i.imgur.com/ydvLUzG.png
[10:29] <melodie> this is very interesting
[10:29] <melodie> not only bloating the Ubuntu editions (brings in ubuntu-mono which everyone does not need either)
[10:29] <melodie> but also useless? that's fun
[10:29] <melodie> (not so fun actually)
[13:04] <xubuntu75w> I've just installed VLC on my Xubuntu 14.04 PC, but when I try to run the application it just doesn't start.
[13:05] <cfhowlett> xubuntu75w, open it from terminal
[13:05] <xubuntu75w> yes
[13:06] <cfhowlett> did it start?
[13:06] <xubuntu75w> not run
[13:07] <xubuntu75w> its not open
[13:08] <cfhowlett> error messages??
[13:08] <xubuntu75w> no
[13:08] <xubuntu75w> its not any display
[13:09] <cfhowlett> ah!  try this: drag and drop a media file to follow vlc:
[13:10] <cfhowlett> vlc '/home/acerimmer/Music/Calloway, Cab/Best Of The Big Bands/01 Minnie The Moocher (Theme Song.mp3'
[13:11] <cfhowlett> vlc is invisible if started from clvc
[13:11] <cfhowlett> cvlc
[13:12] <xubuntu75w> vlc not open
[13:12] <cfhowlett> did it play your file?
[13:12] <xubuntu75w> can i run it??
[13:12] <xubuntu75w> its not run
[13:13] <xubuntu75w> its not open
[13:13] <xubuntu75w> i just install it from software centre
[13:14] <xubuntu75w> and when i double click vlc logo its not open,its not any message to me.
[13:15] <flocculant> xubuntu75w: cfhowlett is trying to get you to open vlc AND one of your files from a terminal
[13:15] <cfhowlett> not enough information to guess.  ask in #uubntu
[13:15] <flocculant> you'll need to put your own media file info in
[13:19] <xubuntu75w> windows is better for me.
[13:19] <xubuntu75w> BYe Bye Xubuntu
[13:25] <Ashik> Please help me
[13:26] <Ashik> Vlc not Run
[13:27] <cfhowlett> Ashik, you said no more xubuntu
[14:05] <melodie> salut Nairwolf
[14:07] <Nairwolf> salut melodie ;)
[14:08] <melodie> Nairwolf did you see my pm?
[14:08] <Nairwolf> yes
[17:32] <WaynesKaffe> Hello folks! my cpu-indicator (unity indicator) has stop scaling the cpu. It's on powersave mode all time since 2 days ago.
[17:32] <WaynesKaffe> Any with similar issues?
[17:32] <WaynesKaffe> I can't play games more, its lagging as hell
[17:48] <WaynesKaffe> guys?anyone?
[17:56] <flocculant> WaynesKaffe: hi
[17:56] <flocculant> so - when it stopped working - was that after some updates for something else?
[17:57] <flocculant> and do you mean xfce4-cpufreq-plugin ?
[17:57] <flocculant> or do you have some unity one installed for some reason?
[17:58] <flocculant> WaynesKaffe: I've not been able to find any report of that issue, nor any change recently
[18:01] <WaynesKaffe> flocculant: I've used indicator-cpufreq in xubuntu untils now.
[18:01] <WaynesKaffe> Its a unity plugin.
[18:03] <flocculant> that's got just as little in the way of recent changes
[18:03] <flocculant> so - what else happened at about the time it stopped working?
[18:05] <WaynesKaffe> I did notice it when I played League of Legends..the game was laggins as hell.
[18:05] <WaynesKaffe> I did an update && upgrade before it.
[18:05] <flocculant> tried it with an older kernel?
[18:06] <flocculant> and if it is the ubuntu thing - might be people in #ubuntu who've heard about issues
[18:06] <WaynesKaffe> Is it possible to pick older kernel at start with grub? I have that alternative in my Ubuntu install.
[18:09] <flocculant> should be unless you've just got one install, in which case press shift after bios and you should see the menu
[18:09] <WaynesKaffe> Thnx m8 =) I will give it a try.
