Not sure if anyone here has an idea i hav
[03:57] <Lawilm> e not yet tried maybe..
[04:03] <DrCool> a google search says maybe the video drivers.
[04:03] <DrCool> are you using the proprietary drivers or the default ones?
[04:17] <Lawilm> default ones
[04:17] <Lawilm> DrCool,
[04:18] <Lawilm> sorry I zoned out on my problem and didn't even see your chat

[05:44] <xubuntu860> hey guys! just migrated from lmint is there a licky sticky corners in xubuntu 14.4?
[05:48] <Unit193> xubuntu860: There's window snapping.
[05:49] <xubuntu860> drag window to corner edege-y window resized to corner/edge?
[05:49] <xubuntu860> how?
[05:51] <Unit193> Check in Window Manager Settings to change the settings on it.
[05:52] <xubuntu860> what point? general or tweaks?
[05:52] <Unit193> General.
[05:52] <xubuntu860> what section, what point?
[05:53] <Unit193> Pardon?
[05:53] <xubuntu860> found windows snapping
[05:54] <xubuntu860> its allready enabled to screen boarders
[05:55] <xubuntu860> and the only thing happening if i try to do it is i move to another workspace
[08:39] <nikolam> Anyone knows if screen command for multiple remote terminals, can allow viewing terminal buffer (like with mouse scroll on terminal window, but inside screen console)
[09:03] <eoli3n> hi

[12:16] <xubuntu79i> anyone
[12:16] <xubuntu79i> hello
[12:19] <xubuntu79i> I'm installing Xubuntu and it's stuck on creating Ext4 file system for /boot.. Does it take that long?
[12:26] <pZombie> hi, does Xubuntu come with some default partition manager?
[12:27] <pZombie> 14.04 LTS version that is

[14:00] <glumpy> Hello
[14:02] <glumpy> Is there a reasonable/automatic way to handle screensaver+listening to music+not entering a sleep mode?
[14:59] <xubuntu52w> is this the proper place to ask about install issues?
[15:00] <knome> yes
[15:04] <xubuntu52w> I just installed xubuntu 15.10 and encountered bug 798414 .  my boot partition was only 100 meg so i increased it to 1024 meg and 15.10 installed just fine.   Was the boot sector filling up the correct assumption and making it bigger the correct solution?
[15:05] <xubuntu52w> i want to make sure I am not assuming a solution.
[15:12] <knome> xubuntu52w, likely so
[15:12] <knome> you don't explicitly even need a separate /boot partition though
[15:13] <xubuntu432> xu 14.04 3 issues: 1.openGL GLX extension not supported by display - when starting steam 2.Sticky corners&edges configuration? 3.When booting i get "Searching for disk drivers to cancel press C" which ends in a black screen
[15:14] <xubuntu432> knowns fixes?
[15:14] <xubuntu52w> knome, thanks, I didn't realize it wasnt needed.
[15:15] <knome> xubuntu52w, as long as you clean up old kernels, you should be fine with 1G
[15:15] <xubuntu52w> knome: I am bad at that :)
[15:16] <xubuntu52w> knome: I am planning on having 2 distros running
[15:17] <xubuntu52w> the hard drive is huge, whats a couple GB amongst friends. :)
[15:17] <knome> xubuntu52w, if you are still in the early intallation stage, you could also reinstall without a separate /boot
[15:18] <knome> everything that doesn't have a specific partition uses the space in the / partition
[15:19] <xubuntu52w> i just finished.
[15:19] <xubuntu52w> i'll leave it but keep it in my notes for next time.
[15:20] <xubuntu52w> i suppose I could disable it and let it default to /
[15:21] <knome> not sure if that would work after installing though
[15:21] <xubuntu52w> good to know.  I'll leave well enough alone. :)
[15:21] <knome> but you could run a live-cd, then copy stuff from the /boot partition to the / partition, then disable and boot back to the installation
[15:21] <knome> that *should* work
[15:22] <xubuntu52w> thank you for your help
[15:22] <knome> np
[15:22] <knome> enjoy xubuntu
[15:22] <xubuntu52w> i very much do
[15:22] <xubuntu52w> I switched to it a couple years ago
[15:22] <xubuntu52w> but this is the first time I custom set up the drive partitions
[15:49] <Noneatme> I'm planning to switch my main rig to xubuntu
[15:50] <Noneatme> how is the multi monitor support with xfce?
[15:50] <knome> no problems.
[15:50] <Noneatme> I tried out KDE for a while, but I managed to crash the panels 10 times in a row
[16:04] <whelin> I turned on auto login and my disk is encrypted and now I can't log in--it still asks me for a login password but mine doesn't work. How do I fix this?
[16:04] <whelin> v 14.04
[17:55] <glumpy> how do I add my user to the group cdrom?
[19:11] <dkessel> glumpy: you should be able to do that in the system settings, in Users & Groups
[19:36] <glumpy> dkessel, Could it be that my user is already in the cdrom group? Because I see that under users and groups, under advanced, user privileges - use of cdrom drives is ticked.
[19:38] <dkessel> glumpy: that sure sounds so. Why do you want to add the user to the group? Maybe you're on the wrong track
[19:41] <glumpy> I'm using foobar2000 under wine. It works great, but can't burn cds (I think it doesn't recognize the cdrom). I read here: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12359#c12 that someone advised people to add their user to the cdrom group in order to be able to give wine access to the cdrom
[19:41] <glumpy> dkessel, Are you using wine?
[19:44] <dkessel> glumpy: yes, but for burning media, i'd always rather use native applications
[19:47] <glumpy> xfburn and brasero fails too much, and I fear k3b will ruin xubuntu (cause it's xfce <> kde)
[20:43] <glumpy> dkessel, Can you recommend something better than xfburn/brasero that can burn audio cds from various formats (mp3/flac/m4a..)
[21:19] <namespace> Um.
[21:19] <namespace> Am I supposed to be able to use su on a default xubuntu install? O_o
[21:19] <namespace> Kind of defeats the point of having a sudoers file.
[21:20] <namespace> (In particular, my totally unprivileged default user can use su, log into the privileged user and then sudo for root.)
[21:22] <knome> namespace, if the user has the password for a privileged user, why shouldn't they be able to use the privileges?
[21:27] <namespace> knome: Well, for one thing you're assuming that we're talking about a human at the console.
[21:27] <namespace> Which in the world of computer security is a real stupid assumption. I'm imagining a brute force program that runs su for a very long time until it gets in.
[21:27] <namespace> There's no penalty for doing so, so why wouldn't it?
[21:29] <namespace> Unless you have a cron job checking for somebody constantly running su/etc, there's no real chance of detection.
[21:29] <namespace> So you could feasibly have a payload for some exploit that just goes brute forcing for two months until it gets in.
[21:31] <namespace> It also defeats the point of having a separate user and admin account, which is considered best practice.
[21:31] <namespace> Since the user account can just su into the admin account, etc.
[21:44] <xubuntu16w> extend file system
[21:44] <xubuntu16w> how exend file system
[22:42] <nostart> hey, i'm totally out of options here, can't start the OS to install it at all
[22:42] <nostart> can anyone throw out ideas of what it might be?
[22:43] <nostart> it gets to grub, so i can pass grub flags, but it freezes if i start it
[22:44] <nostart> i've tried passing nomodeset and removing quiet splash to account for my nvidia gfx card but it still freezes
[23:54] <Logos01> I apologize if this comes across as trolling but I was informed a few moments ago that someone gave advice to use the "su" binary to handle privilege escalations via an intermediary nonprivileged account which then has sudo rights.
[23:54] <Logos01> Just wanted to drop this note so people could be informed:
[23:54] <Logos01> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32455684/difference-between-real-user-id-effective-user-id-and-saved-user-id
[23:55] <Logos01> Basically, system audits can keep track of how account/privilege escalation is done via sudo, but cannot do so via "su". If you're going to allow account changes, using "sudo -iu ${nonroot_account}" is *much* better than "su - ${nonroot_account}".
[23:55] <Logos01> I apologize for this interruption.
