skyrid3rmeh00:23
skyrid3rAnyone experienced with a "line" issue when eg, scrolling down a webpage.00:24
flocculantskyrid3r: depends which card you have ...00:24
mrkrampstaering?00:24
skyrid3rnvidia.00:24
skyrid3rWhich card exactly, I'd have to look it up :p00:24
skyrid3rTearing? Possibly.. when I scroll down I see a tin line breaking up the page a bit.00:25
mrkrampswhich driver in use?00:25
skyrid3r*checks*00:25
skyrid3rnvidia binary driver 352.63 / proprietary, tested.00:26
skyrid3rSame issue on open source though.00:26
flocculantskyrid3r: inxi -G00:26
skyrid3rNVIDIA GF104 [GeForce GTX 460]00:27
flocculantskyrid3r: should be something like 361.28 in additional drivers - in settings00:29
skyrid3rNot on the additional driver list though.00:30
flocculantskyrid3r: ok - so what is :)00:30
skyrid3rQuite a few :p. open source, 352.63, 340.96, 304.131 and 340.9600:31
flocculantskyrid3r: ok so I am using 340.96 updates with a 200 series card - at the nv site - that driver *should* work for the 400 series00:32
mrkrampsactually not00:33
skyrid3rok:?00:33
mrkrampsrecommended for 400 series is 346 or later00:33
flocculantmrkramps: which they don't see00:34
flocculantmight be recommended - but if they only see 352 and 340 - 340 does appear to support the 400 series cards00:35
mrkrampsstrange 346 is in the repository00:36
skyrid3rinteresting.. when I attempt to run sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings, it wants to remove libcuda1-352 nvidia-352 nvidia-opencl-icd-352 and install libcuda1-304 nvidia-304 nvidia-current nvidia-opencl-icd-30400:36
flocculantskyrid3r: try doing it from Additonal Drivers in settings00:37
flocculantmrkramps: if you look at packages.ubuntu for nvidia 346 it shows as 352 it seems00:38
flocculantskyrid3r: instead of second guessing - try what Add Drivers shows00:39
mrkrampsexactly00:39
skyrid3r.. ?00:40
mrkrampsi guess i'll have to check a wiki for accuracy00:40
flocculantmrkramps: so that's a bit odd - but I have to say - stuff just works here - I don't have to fiddle00:40
flocculantskyrid3r: sorry - I guess we went off on a tangent there :)00:40
skyrid3rd/led NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run from the website.00:41
flocculantdo Additional Driver - what does that say? maybe revert to nouveau - reboot and look again00:41
flocculantskyrid3r: yup - thought so - doesn't always work out well :)00:41
skyrid3rno idea how to open it, lol00:42

C1t1Z3nhello02:06
C1t1Z3nhow i register02:06
C1t1Z3non freenode02:06
C1t1Z3nor wich chan to go to get help about that02:06
flocculant/join #freenode02:09
flocculantC1t1Z3n: though most info is on the web02:10
C1t1Z3nyup they helped02:10
C1t1Z3nit's good thx02:10
arsixso i'm messing around with using a non-xfwm session in xubuntu but i notice that when i switch to a different wm (spectrwm in this case), fonts look quite a bit worse02:33
arsixwhy is that?02:33
C1t1Z3ni absolutly don't know02:35
flocculantarsix: xubuntu applies various configs - it's part of what makes Xubuntu Xubuntu02:36
arsixyeah, i figured it was something like that, some xfce things i'm forgoing when i select spectrwm02:37
flocculantarsix: if you happen to login to xfce instead of xubuntu I would expect you'd see similar02:37
arsixoh yeah, i guess i always log in to xubuntu and not xfce02:38
C1t1Z3nyou have 2 option xfce an xubuntu02:39
arsixC1t1Z3n: well i have three because i have spectrwm installed02:39
arsixbut yeah02:39
C1t1Z3ni also have 3 i have openbox installed02:41
arsixdoes openbox do the same thing for you? fonts don't look as nice?02:41
C1t1Z3nfont look good02:41
C1t1Z3nit's openbox minimalist at the maximum level02:41
C1t1Z3nif you need speed you need openbox02:43
arsixsure02:43
arsixi was just asking about fonts, though02:43
C1t1Z3nlol02:43
C1t1Z3nsry02:43
arsixoh, one other question02:45
arsixi'm not sure exactly when this happened but my notifications look a lot worse now02:45
arsixlike it's just plain text that says stuff like "Volume is muted"02:45
C1t1Z3ni hate the notification02:45
arsixor "Volume is at 75%"02:46
arsixany clue how i can reset them to the default xubuntu look?02:46
C1t1Z3nyou lost the eye candy stuff02:46
arsixyeah02:46
C1t1Z3nin the theme parameter02:46
arsixnot sure what i did to make that happen02:46
C1t1Z3nyou also have a notification parameter02:46
C1t1Z3nmaybe there02:47

Raku I'm having a problem getting xubuntu installed, both the install and liveboot option give this screen http://puu.sh/nwnI0/32b902561c.jpg (errors then kicked in to ash)03:25
flocculantRaku: building the install medium in Windows?03:26
flocculantwhat you using usb/cd? did you torrent the image? or just download it?03:27
RakuTorrented it, verified the md503:27
flocculantusb or cd?03:27
RakuUsed DD to put on SD card03:27
RakuSo usb03:27
flocculantok - just to make sure - boot - then when you get the silly kb/human icons - hit any key, then in the menu check the 'whatever the option is'03:28
RakuYep03:29
flocculantif you got busybox then something is wrong there imo03:29
RakuI tried live CD, install, and check CD for errors03:29
flocculantyep03:29
RakuThis is the second one SD I put the ISO on, already verified md503:29
RakuDo I need to change a grub option or something?03:31
flocculantRaku: installing to what?03:31
RakuLike, in the menu of options, there's install xubuntu, try without installing, etc03:31
RakuBoth of those give me that screen03:31
flocculantRaku: I mean what are you trying to install this to? what's the target?03:32
RakuHard drive03:32
flocculantRaku: you could try some of the boot options - hit the key at the kdb/human thing - then F603:34
flocculantbut if you are getting that screen all the time - then it would *appear* to be an install media issue03:35
RakuI would agree if I hadn't used this card with a diff ISO and it worked and it wasn't the second one I've tried03:36
RakuWhich boot option would you suggest?03:36
flocculantRaku: mmm - not sure tbh - not had a not booting medium for years :)03:37
flocculanthttp://bit.ly/1VZxEBs03:37
flocculanttry that - ends up at google03:37
flocculanttry second link - au one03:38
RakuGot the first half of the errors to stop03:40
RakuNeed acpi=off and nomodeset03:41
flocculantRaku: then just try nomodeset03:41
RakuMight be causw it's on a 3.0 porr03:42
RakuPort03:42
RakuCan't say I haven't had issues with them before, I should rulled that out earlier03:43
RakuI'm going to feel mighty stupid if that was the issue03:43
flocculantRaku: I did an install recently with uefi on usb303:44
flocculantnot with a sd card though :)03:44
flocculanttry nomodeset03:44
RakuGiving a similar error03:44
RakuYa I have that03:44
flocculantI tried to get others to come by03:44
RakuNow I have the nongui boot screen thing03:45
RakuXubuntu with the 4 pulsing dots under it03:45
flocculantRaku: also - #xubuntu is good for xubuntu specific things - for things this basic #ubuntu will have loads more eyes - and you should get a lot more help there03:46
flocculantinstall is install03:46
RakuAlright03:46
flocculantif you get there and installed - I'd love to know - please come back :)03:46
RakuSo in boot options I have the USB and then it has it listed again with UEFI: prefixed03:46
flocculantI had to use UEFI03:47
Raku I'm on here from my server so we can talk the whole way through :P03:47
flocculant:)03:47
flocculantwell I have bouncer - so you can go to #ubuntu and get help and tell me :)03:48
flocculantit's almost 4am here ...03:48
RakuWhere should I be putting the nomodeset in the gryb edit screen?03:48
RakuAnywhere specific or does it not matter!03:49
Rakus/!/?03:50
RakuThat came out a lot more aggressive than I intended x.x03:50
flocculantoh sorry03:52
flocculantRaku: boot the image - hit any key03:52
RakuYa I'm in the grub editor right now03:52
flocculantthen when you're at the menu - F603:52
flocculantoh ok03:52
RakuI've done it before I just forgot03:52
flocculantfind the linux ... line03:53
RakuAdd it to the boot= options?03:53
flocculantends in quiet splash03:53
RakuYa and then ---03:53
flocculantadd nomodeset03:53
flocculantor you could replace quiet splash with it03:53
RakuHooooooooly jesua that is a wall of errors03:54
flocculantmmm03:54
RakuThat was comical to see03:54
flocculanthah03:54
RakuHey I booted :S03:54
Raku:S03:54
Rakugah03:54
Raku:D*03:54
flocculantRaku: actually - if you replaced quiet splash with nomodeset - that's not errors - that's just being told what's going on :)03:55
RakuI didn't03:55
flocculantok hard to tell what you saw :)03:56
flocculantbut if it's booted - install now03:56
RakuHmmm, it's noting I'm in UEFI mode03:56
RakuI'm installing over Linux mint should it matter!03:57
Raku?*03:57
flocculantno idea tbh03:57
flocculantas long as the partition is right then yea03:57
RakuMy plan was to take these two other 500 gig HDDs and raid them to 1tb, got any knowledge on that?03:59
flocculantnone at all03:59
RakuAlright04:00
RakuWell thanks for the help :>04:00

john123456hi, i installed compiz on xubuntu 15.10 and trying to change the theme but i can't, dconf and gnome-tweak-tool dont work. Is there any solution to this?13:15
heoyeaemerald14:00
john123456hi again, i think there is bug in compiz that i can't easily explain. I have only one panel at the bottom of the screen and when i maximize a window i can't move it from the very top pixels, see the screenshot, the red line i draw are the "dead" pixels16:16
john123456http://i.imgur.com/jl0i3B9.png16:16
john123456Can anyone else reproduce this?16:16
knomejohn123456, compiz isn't officially supported on xubuntu; i would ask the compiz support channel for ideas to fix your issue16:17
GeekDudeMy laptop won't connect to a specific SSID. Other devices (such as my android phone) connect fine, though. It tries to connect, but eventually times out.16:29
GeekDudeHow should I go about troubleshooting this? Most of what I find online just shows how to troubleshoot when you can't even see any networks16:30
mrkrampsGeekDude, laptop connects to other SSIDs?16:30
GeekDudeYes16:30
mrkrampsname of the SSID?16:30
GeekDude"Network Unavailable"16:30
GeekDudeThat's actually the SSID, not a status16:30
mrkrampswhich router?16:32
GeekDudeMy previous laptop had problems connecting as well, until I tried an Edimax external usb wifi dongle16:32
GeekDudeI'll have a model number in a minute16:34
GeekDudeThe admin page for the router says C3000-100NAS16:37
GeekDudeusing WPA2-PSK [AES] for auth16:38

GeekDudemrkramps: https://paste.ubuntu.com/15309439/17:01
GeekDudemrkramps: Is there anything else I can provide?18:10
mrkrampsGeekDude, notebook model?18:12
GeekDudeLenovo Thinkpad E55018:13
mrkrampsGeekDude, is your router using dual wifi (2,4 and 5 Ghz)?18:14
mrkrampsubuntu and kernel version might help as well18:16
GeekDudemrkramps: 2.4GHz exclusively best I can tell. Xubuntu 15.10. `uname -r gives '4.2.0-30-generic'18:22
mrkrampsGeekDude, from what i read on the internet there seems to be a stability regression with this wifi chip sice kernel 3.1918:23
mrkrampsor probably since the corresponding firmware version18:23
GeekDudeThe other laptop I had trouble connecting to wifi with was a ThinkPad X61 also running Xubuntu 15.10, if that's relevant at all.18:25
mrkrampsdunno, i guess the X61 is probably also using intel wifi18:26
mrkrampsGeekDude, for example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/143791318:27

GeekDudemrkramps: Hmm, seems I can't connect with my edimax dongle either actually. I can connect using my TP-Link dongle, though the driver must be a bit funky because all the connections show up has having 0% wifi strength18:43
mrkrampsGeekDude, do you have any usb devices attached to your router?18:44
GeekDudeNo, just coax, power, and 1 ethernet cable leading out18:46

xubuntu66wI have a problem in xubuntu my window bars seemed to have turned blue, and I want them like their normal grey21:25
pjotterYou mean the taskbars?21:26
xubuntu66wYeah21:26
pjotterrightclick taskbar, choose 'taskbar'->properties, second tab under Background choose another color or system default.21:27
xubuntu66wwhen I right-click the taskbar there is no taskbar properties21:28
pjotterIt's supposed to be the bottom option in the right click menu21:29
pjotterHow did they get blue in the first place?21:30
xubuntu66wI'm in xubuntu 14.04 and when I right-click the taskbar all that is there at the bottom is "Close" and "Move to another workspce"21:31
xubuntu66wThey changed when I started using chromium21:32
pjotterThat's wierd. I'm on 14.04 too. When I rightclick the taskbar, anywhere, the bottom option is something like "Taskbars" with an arrow next to it. That brings up another popup with the Taskbar properties.21:33
mrkrampsPanel → Panel Properties …21:33
pjotterThanks mrkramps. I have localised language settings. So I'm notr sure what it says in English.21:35
