larry5on the subject of inputs; I am using a trackball which is about to fold... will soon need a replacement but before I buy, want to know if I'll be able to reconfigure its buttons to work under xubuntu.  Is there an app or a kernel module I'll need to use for that?00:36
GuyIncognitodoes anyone know which version of XFCE comes with 16.04 by default?00:43
j09hey guys, I'm trying to install wine on Xubuntu 15.10 and I get this error http://pastebin.com/L9HsSVNC01:39

xangua! Xenial08:17

czeslawHello, It's very important. How to ugrade usb-modeswitch to 2.2.1 in ubuntu/xubuntu 14.0408:20
Enkidu_akczeslaw: It's 2.2.5 in the repo already. At least in wily09:02
Enkidu_akczeslaw: Are you using Wily?09:02
Enkidu_akOh, I missed wher eyou mentioned 14.0409:03
czeslawyes 14.0409:05
czeslawany ideas?09:05
Enkidu_akczeslaw: Here is the Wily package. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/wily/+source/usb-modeswitch09:06
Enkidu_akczeslaw: Download and install it. Check the deps09:06
czeslawbut how to install it09:06
Enkidu_akI use gdebi09:06
Enkidu_akYou can use dpkg09:06
czeslawi did but some package is missing09:07
czeslawlibjim0debian209:07
Enkidu_akYou will need to resolve those manually. It's a Wiley package, after all.09:07
Enkidu_akczeslaw: So find out what is missing, track down that package, rinse and repeat09:07
czeslawi couldnt find it :/09:08
Enkidu_akLooks like that package wasn't carried over into Wiley.09:13
Enkidu_akYou can grab usb-modeswitch from source and try to compile it, but you might consider upgrading to 15.04. It's the new LTS09:15
czeslaw16.04?09:16
czeslaw15.04 is not stable09:16
czeslawim downloading09:16
czeslawcause I CAN'T upgrade :/09:16
czeslawneed to install again09:16
Enkidu_akczeslaw: What do yo mean by not stable? 15.04 is the current LTS, it's been out for awhile now. I haven't heard of any stability issues.09:17
flocculantEnkidu_ak: wrong09:17
flocculant15.04 is NOT lts - in fact 15.04 is no longer supported at all09:18
xangua! 15.04 | Enkidu_ak09:18
ubottuEnkidu_ak: Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) was the 22nd release of Ubuntu. Support ended on February 4, 2016. See !eol, !eolupgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/vivid09:18
Enkidu_akOh, my mistake. I stand corrected.09:18
Enkidu_akI still haven't heard of any stability issues with it, but I still recommend upgrading ot the current LTS, even if I don't know what that is currently :)09:19
flocculantczeslaw: I assume you've seen the release notes with 14.04 to 16.04 upgrade currently broken - it does work via image - but I would not recommend doing it for a machine you must have working09:19
czeslawso what now :/09:20
czeslawi need to instal usbmode switch newer09:20
czeslawbut cant find any help09:20

knomeczeslaw, 15.04 is EOL, so not supported.11:21
moldorCan someone point me to a relatively foolproof way of getting the nVidia drivers to work - the laptop has an Intel 4600 and an nVidia GTX765M11:24
knomemoldor, the intel/nvidia hybrid combination isn't always trivial to get to work, so there likely isn't a very "foolproof" way11:27
moldoryes, this I have discovered... I wish I'd gone for an ATI chipset instead11:27
moldorThere seems to me the sgfxi script(s) - which don't work, for me at least, and then the "debian way", which has its' own issues.11:28
moldorknome, I could always disable the Nvidia chipset, but the performance is better with it that without. Unfortunately it's using their Optimus technology which I don't believe Bumblebee has fully worked out yet.11:32
knomei haven't got a very deep insight with optimus/bumblebee because i haven't used it myself11:33
moldorI'm beginning to regret this particular laptop purchase - next time ATI all the way (even if this one does have 32Gb RAM !!)11:34
knomeunfortunately indeed, you are limited in hardware choices if you want to be sure something works with linux11:36
knome(that said, i'm sure your laptop will work much better in a year or two)11:36
moldoryes - well, it *does* run "that other OS" quite nicely, but that would be somewhat heretical. I actually wanted a Lenovo X1 Carbon, but they don't make them with enough RAM.11:40
Guest4672Ok, I've got this. You got to disable light-locker.11:57
xubuntu94dwhat means Launch Iron with parameter: ./iron --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=21.0.0.197??12:15

WangDangCan I just dd an installation iso to a usb key the same as in debian, or does xubuntu do it differently?15:17
mrkrampsWangDang, yes … no difference, debian and ubuntu both use hybrid images15:19
WangDangMrkramps: thanks.  I was seeing alot of pages talking about Startup disk Creator in ubuntu so I wasn't sure15:20
mrkrampsWangDang, this tool was intended to avoid using teminal … mostly interesting for beginners15:21

genii*buntu has had multiarch for a long time now. You must either be using a really old *buntu or else only have 64 bit arch enabled17:40
WangDangIt's xubuntu 14.04,  how do I enable multiarch^17:41
WangDangbut I'm working of a live cd if that matters17:41

recon_dskright, anyone able to help me get LCD backlight plugin working?20:27
recon_dskfound lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar 28 22:08 /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0 and managed to change brightness, nothing happened so I think it the wrong video device21:25
well_laid_lawnrecon_dsk:  I edit /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness to change the brightness22:11
recon_dskwell_laid_lawn: I've only got /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness and when I modified it, it changed but the backlight did not.22:15
well_laid_lawnrecon_dsk:  what sortof video card is it ?22:16
recon_dskGTX 98022:16
well_laid_lawnnvidia might work differently22:16
recon_dskthink the os is changing the motherboard video card and not the dedicated one22:16
recon_dskhmm, nice directory loop in there as well22:18
well_laid_lawnyou could try using xrandr http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/254517/screen-brightness-100-with-proprietary-nvidia-driver22:26
