[01:55] <scape> hey
[01:55] <scape> could u help me out a little?
[01:55] <krytarik> scape: Just ask.
[01:57] <scape> I am trying to boot from a live xubuntu usb on my old acer aspire one, however when I select try xubuntu it keeps flickering some sort of bootup screen
[01:58] <scape> It seems like the down arrow key is being mashed
[01:58] <scape> Im at a loss on what to do frankly
[02:08] <krytarik> scape: Try the "nomodeset" boot parameter perhaps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[02:15] <scape> no luck
[02:15] <scape> it's beginning to seem more like a hardware problem
[02:17] <scape> wait
[02:17] <scape> could it be
[02:17] <scape> it works!
[02:18] <scape> thanks krytarik
[02:18] <krytarik> Yay. :D
[02:19] <scape> i cant wait
[02:19] <scape> the pain of using windows 7 is unbearable
[03:19] <xubuntu39w> my computer keeps going to sleep while watching videos
[03:19] <xubuntu39w> im fairly new to xubuntu
[07:23] <glitchd> hello all
[07:24] <glitchd> trying to figure our why recently apps have started to take a long time to open once ive clicked them, any way i can get them to launch faster like when it was a fresh insstall?
[07:25] <glitchd> anyone?
[08:11] <sim642> Is it somehow possible to refresh wifi networks list from the tray network manager?
[10:29] <gratefulfrog> hi there, I'm running xubuntu 15.10 and cannot mount my usb DVD drive, any suggestions?
[17:38] <vuk_> Hello
[17:38] <vuk_> I am trying to boot my Thinkpad L420 from USB with Xubuntu 15.10 in it, but it will not boot up on this laptop. It boots up fine in my other Thinkpad. Any idea why?
[17:38] <vuk_> I get to the screen with the options "Install, Test without installing, etc", I select one of them, it splashes once, then it gets stuck there!
[17:38] <vuk_> Any help is appreciated.
[17:45] <genii> vuk_: Are both machines the same model?
[17:45] <vuk_> genii: No, other is different Thinkpad model
[17:47] <vuk_> So annoying, I need to get done installing it by tonight.
[17:47] <genii> !nomodeset | vuk_ Did you try this yet?
[17:47] <genii> I'm back and forth from trying to eat my lunch, so please tolerate some lag between questions and replies :)
[17:49] <vuk_> Checking into that, thanks. I am reading the guide on the thread, seems a bit outdated in terms of where and how.
[17:50] <vuk_> How do I do this when booting from 15.10 Xubuntu live USB?
[17:50] <vuk_> I pressed TAB on my keyboard, where exactly do I add that command?
[17:51] <genii> I believe the F6 method works for all flavours, then the boot options appear at the bottom, where you append to those
[17:52] <vuk_> Dont get anything when I prefer F6 while I am at the  menu.
[17:52] <vuk_> press*
[17:53] <krytarik> vuk_: Ftm, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[18:32] <vuk_> Managed to boot up and currently installing the fresh Xubuntu :) Thanks
[18:32] <vuk_> I am having a problem with the battery applet. It will not show up, same as with Kubuntu 15.10. Any idea how to track this bug and fix it? I really need the battery applet to show up.
[18:33] <vuk_> The Power Manager Plugin is disabled when I try to add it!
[19:06] <krytarik> vuk_: Reg. the latter, that's because it's already added to the panel by default.  Reg. the first, it'd appear UPower doesn't detect your laptop's battery for some reason - is ACPI enabled, for example?  ( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upower/+bugs )
[21:32] <xubuntu50w> hello! i'm having trouble setting up an openvpn connection in xubuntu
[21:33] <xubuntu50w> it says that it connects fine but i cant even ping other computers
[21:33] <xubuntu50w> i think maybe something is wrong with the routes that are added after the connection is made
[21:34] <xubuntu50w> i can use the openvpn application with the same files (certificates, keys, config) and everything works fine, so no errors there
[21:34] <xubuntu50w> the problem only appears when using the built-in vpn connection tool
[21:38] <xubuntu50w> http://pastebin.com/WsW9EAiU here i've pasted what route -vn reports
[21:38] <xubuntu50w> for each case (no vpn, openvpn application, built-in)
[21:38] <xubuntu50w> can you give me a hint what to look for to fix this problem?
[21:39] <xubuntu50w> the most obvious difference is that when im using the built-in functionality there is an extra route added, which i do not fully understand
[22:47] <xubuntu32d> can anyone help me where to find Hardware profile
[22:47] <xubuntu32d> ?
[22:49] <SlidingHorn> xubuntu32d: what exactly are you looking for?
[22:51] <xubuntu32d> I want to make Tracker ISO QA
[22:52] <xubuntu32d> and I see "write URL" of Hardware profile
[22:52] <xubuntu32d> "URL to the hardware profile"
[22:53] <SlidingHorn> xubuntu32d: Here you go: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Hardware
[22:54] <xubuntu32d> thank you very much
[23:01] <xubuntu32d> SlidinHorn the commands not work?
[23:02] <SlidingHorn> xubuntu32d: "not work" doesn't tell us much.  What didn't work, how did it respond, and what error message(s) did you receive?
[23:03] <xubuntu32d> I cant install tools with this commands
[23:04] <xubuntu32d> I see this "Unable to locate package"
[23:07] <SlidingHorn> xubuntu32d:  which tool(s) - please be as specific as possible when requesting support so everyone can try to accurately diagnose the problem
[23:08] <xubuntu32d> hardinfo - Gets the information.  gist - Sends the information to Gist.  clipit - Reports back the link.
[23:08] <xubuntu32d> hardinfo, gist, clipit
[23:10] <SlidingHorn> did you install them using the line provided on that page?  sudo apt-get install hardinfo gist clipit ?
[23:10] <xubuntu32d> yes
[23:10] <xubuntu32d> but this isnt working
[23:10] <SlidingHorn> and what, exactly, was the output?  (post it to a http://paste.ubuntu.com)
[23:10] <SlidingHorn> and give us the link
[23:11] <xubuntu32d> Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package hardinfo E: Unable to locate package gist E: Unable to locate package clipit
[23:11] <SlidingHorn> what version of xubuntu are you running?      cat /etc/issue
[23:12] <xubuntu32d> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13946210/
[23:12] <bazhang> !info hwinfo
[23:14] <SlidingHorn> bazhang: They're trying to walk through the steps here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Hardware  <~  It specifically wanted hardinfo instead of hwinfo...I just want to make sure their report is exactly as it's supposed to be for this particular purpose
