[00:31] <Alderin> Hi All. I used the Ubuntu 16.04 Mini CD and installed Xubuntu, but there are no options in Settings for Printers. I wanted a very light install, but I've now installed the Ubuntu Software Center, and I still can't find what to add to get a Printers icon in Settings. I hope someone can help, thanks in advance!
[00:32] <Alderin> @stormchaser3000 I've never had an nvidia card not show up in a system unless it was disabled in BIOS.
[00:32] <Alderin> or DOA.
[00:33] <stormchaser3000_> Alderin: how do i enable it?
[00:33] <stormchaser3000_> (that is another thing i was wondering about)
[00:33] <stormchaser3000_> i know how to access the bios
[00:33] <stormchaser3000_> but i couldn't find and setting for it
[00:33] <Alderin> That varies greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer, and I don't go in there too often.
[00:34] <Alderin> Typically, there is a mention of "Onboard Video" that you can enable or disable.
[00:35] <Alderin> Sometimes, the BIOS will refused to allow another video card to run if Onboard is enabled.
[00:35] <Alderin> Though I haven't had issues with that myself in years.
[00:35] <Alderin> s/refused/refuse/
[00:41] <krytarik> !info system-config-printer-gnome | Alderin
[00:46] <Alderin> Thanks, I'll try that. Since I was using Xfce, I tried system-config-printer-common, but that didn't do it.
[00:48] <Alderin> Yup, that worked. Thanks!
[11:16] <xubuntu22w> Hey, I'm just testing this out.
[11:16] <xubuntu22w> Just switched from 12.04 to 16.04, and I've never used the IRC before
[11:17] <walkfar60> Hi folks! I have a minor problem when I am connected to ethernet cable in which every now 30 mins or so I am asked to enter my wifi password?
[11:18] <xubuntu22w> And... now I have. So bye, everybody.
[11:20] <walkfar60> My only solution to this is by disabling wifi when wired.
[14:25] <nikolam> wow, xubuntu 14.04 LTS 32bit as guest in Virtualbox (Openindiana hipster is host) and when I open Terminal, and select text line to copy.. then line ABOVE it is selected...

[15:14] <studentneedhelp> hi - can anyone point me to a good step-by-step tutorial for installing apache/mysql/PHP on Xubuntu 16.04?
[15:21] <akxwi-dave> studentneedhelp, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP its an oldie but a goodie
[15:26] <studentneedhelp> thanks akxwi-dave - I have to install each component separately for an assignment - already installed apache2 - will see if I can complete it following that link
[15:37] <root_____> hi guys
[15:38] <root_____> --help
[15:38] <root_____> help
[16:02] <flocculant> must have sorted it out
[18:58] <Morrog> Good morning (UGT)
[18:59] <Morrog> Whenever I log out on 16.04, I see a black screen with a message similar to '/dev/sda3: clean, 131838/991232 files, 1193255/3933482 blocks'
[18:59] <Morrog> Is it possible to hide this message? I think I shouldn't be seeing it after a simple logout
[19:05] <Pici> Morrog: you mean it briefly shows up when you logout before showing the login manager again?
[19:05] <Morrog> yes, exactly
[19:05] <Pici> Morrog: I'd think it might actually be showing up when you boot, but since logging out does things to xwindows, it falls back to that.
[19:05] <Morrog> probably
[19:06] <Morrog> it also isn't a big issue, obviously. but i'd rather not see it :)
[19:18] <Morrog> Pici, any clue how I could make that message disappear?
[19:54] <Art_> Hi, Im using xubuntu 16.04, and trying to move the panel backup from one installation to another. When I click 'apply' however, the panel looks nothing like it should....not even remotely. Any idea what I might be doing wrong???
[20:41] <alb> still having problems transitioning to another system using the panel backup file (both systems arexubuntu 16.04). I can import the file to the new install, but when I click 'apply', the changes made to the panel don't look like they should. The new panel is almost unusable. Any ideas?
[20:46] <flocculant> alb: and what's different? in the wrong place? launchers not set up properly? all we've got is it's not right :)
[20:47] <alb> flocculant, ok, some of the panel entries are on the left, some are on the right, many panel entries missing. It's just not right.
[20:48] <alb> I think the backup and restore function is broken.
[20:49] <flocculant> well - it might have a bug with your setup - but it works ok for me - and I started using it in development - and still am
[20:50] <flocculant> unless something has changed since yak started dev of course
[20:50] <alb> flocculant,  I can post pictures.
[20:51] <alb> flocculant, both installs are fairly new, but there were no errors during the install.
[20:51] <flocculant> yep
[20:51] <flocculant> alb: did you export?
[20:52] <alb> ok, it will take me awhile...yes, export went fine, import went fine.
[20:53] <alb> flocculant,  I also tried manually moving thebackup file to the new computer and it appeared on the backup screen as being 'available'....but when I click'apply' its a disaster.
[20:54] <flocculant> alb: ok - after importing - then select - then apply config
[20:55] <alb> flocculant, yes, correct. I moved the cursor to the new configuration file, then clicked 'apply'.
[20:55] <flocculant> and it failed then
[20:56] <alb> flocculant, yes, the results of the 'apply' command were much different then they should have been. I suppose it could be an export problem.
[20:58] <alb> flocculant, my new system has an ssd, which is why I want to transition to it.....but, have used both systems enough to know there isn't a system problem or corrupted drive.
[20:59] <flocculant> yup
[20:59] <flocculant> I'm not saying that the issue is local - just that I've not been able to confirm it :)
[20:59] <alb> flocculant,   I'll go take some screen captures and post them, it will take awhile::>
[20:59] <flocculant> alb: hang on a mo
[21:00] <alb> flocculant,   Maybe I could sned you the backup file and you could try it??
[21:00] <flocculant> was what I was thinking
[21:00] <alb> flocculant, hanging.
[21:00] <flocculant> alb: no need - took the words out of my mouth
[21:01] <alb> flocculant, I have no idea how to send a file on IRC though, but if I post it you can download it.
[21:01] <alb> back in a while.....
[21:01] <flocculant> alb: ok do that
[21:02] <flocculant> but I'm not about for much longer tonight
[21:13] <xubuntu01w> So many peoples say linux is so good compare to windows. I use Xubuntu and lubuntu. It is allway so many errors. Now it is frozen after i install the updates.
[21:14] <xubuntu01w> The aplication closed unexpectly and so on.. I gues i have to reinstall. I am tired of it.
[21:15] <knome> why would you need to reinstall?
[21:15] <knome> which application closed unexpectedly?
[21:15] <knome> how is your system frozen?
[21:15] <knome> and for debugging, which xubuntu version are you using?
[21:17] <xubuntu01w> If it crash and not will work.. I dont know.. the update program is frozen.
[21:18] <knome> open a terminal and run "lsb_release -a" without the quotes to find out your version
[21:18] <xubuntu01w> I found software in the taskmanager. Shud i use stop, kill or terminate ?
[21:19] <xubuntu01w> what is the diferents ?
[21:20] <knome> please answer the questions i am asking you so i can help
[21:20] <xubuntu01w> I am using 16.04
[21:20] <xubuntu01w> 64 bit
[21:20] <knome> ok, so is it only the updater that is frozen, not the whole system?
[21:21] <xubuntu01w> I tought all was frozen.. but it is only the updater.
[21:22] <knome> okay
[21:22] <knome> so which application was it that closed unexpectedly, in case it would be connected to this issue?
[21:23] <xubuntu01w> I dont know.. It was a box showing up when the updates was running. It say a aplication was closing unexpectly.  I shoose to leave the aplication closed.
[21:24] <knome> ok, so if you click on the close button on the updater, does it ask if you want to terminate the process?
[21:25] <xubuntu01w> It is the quit button. It is frozen blue.
[21:27] <xangua> Did you add any repositories recently?
[21:27] <xubuntu01w> no
[21:33] <alb> I cant post on paste.ubuntu.com....they dont allow png and zip files.
[21:33] <knome> xubuntu01w, can you get the updater to close?
[21:33] <knome> !imagebin | alb
[21:33] <xubuntu01w> I think so.. But in the taskmanager there is diferents commands. kill ? terminate ?
[21:34] <xubuntu01w> I will not make it worse.
[21:34] <knome> they should be similar in function but try kill first.
[21:36] <alb> flocculant, and knome  http://imgur.com/a/GiTxu shows both screens.
[21:37] <xubuntu01w> It is closed now. I am not sure the updates is correct after this. It was many of them. Shud i restart and let i look for updtates again ?
[21:37] <knome> xubuntu01w, don't restart
[21:37] <knome> xubuntu01w, run the following in a terminal
[21:37] <knome> xubuntu01w, sudo apt-get update
[21:37] <knome> xubuntu01w, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:37] <xubuntu01w> ok
[21:38] <knome> the first one will make sure your repositories are updated, the second one does all updates
[21:38] <knome> take note of any error messages potentially popping up
[21:40] <alb> flocculant,    I dont know where to upload the configuration file, imgur.com only accepts pictures!!! argh.
[21:40] <xubuntu01w> It is done.
[21:40] <xubuntu01w> There was nothing new installed.
[21:41] <knome> xubuntu01w, then you should be good to go.
[21:42] <knome> alb, sometimes problems arise if you haven't got all panel plugins that are used in the backup installed
[21:42] <knome> eg. if you used a non-default panel plugin in the configuration you are importing to a fresh system, make sure that's installed first
[21:42] <xubuntu01w> The maybe all is ok..but after all updtaes libre office and many things maybe i shud restart ?
[21:43] <knome> xubuntu01w, generally you don't need to restart after updates, but it might be useful or in some cases required to restart the apps themself
[21:44] <xubuntu01w> mostly after new kernel i have seen.
[21:44] <alb> the panel backup fileis at http://pastebin.com/detfTdFj
[21:44] <knome> xubuntu01w, yes, then the reboot is required if you want to start using the new kernel
[21:45] <knome> alb, that didn't work out...
[21:45] <xubuntu01w> knoem.. Anyway thank you for the help. I will try this and hope it will works like normal.
[21:45] <knome> xubuntu01w, have fun with xubuntu
[21:45] <xubuntu01w> knome i meen.
[21:46] <alb> knome, both are fairly new installs and both updated. How do I check to see if plugiuns are present???
[21:47] <knome> alb, at the moment the only way to do that is manually; just see which plugins are used and make sure they are installed in both systems
[21:48] <alb> knome, I did notice that the donor system won't let me export now....I click onthe button to save and nothing happens.
[21:49] <alb> knome, is this work in progress...still in development??? Or did I do something wrong??
[21:49] <knome> everything is always work in progress, but generally, it should work
[21:50] <knome> it doesn't mean you are necessarily doing anything wrong either
[21:50] <knome> maybe you have hit some bug that is unseen for now
[21:50] <alb> manual setting up is a big pain.....I sure wish the restore would work.
[21:51] <alb> knome, ok, were you able to download the backup file??
[21:51] <knome> alb, no. the pastebin you showed us only contains the local filename
[21:51] <alb> argh....ok. Let me see if I can figure itout.
[21:53] <alb> ok,pastebinsays only textfiles are allowed::>
[21:54] <knome> if you open the compressed file, you'll notice a file called config.txt inside; pastebining that might be enough
[21:54] <knome> i mean, i'm not sure if it helps that we see what's inside the configuration...
[21:58] <alb> knome still looking for awebsiteto paste the wholefilein.
[21:59] <knome> i don't think it would be sensible to accept compressed files
[21:59] <knome> google drive or some other cloud service if you have an account
[22:00] <squinty> !paste
[22:00] <knome> squinty, he's trying to paste a compressed .tar.bz2 file, those won't help
[22:02] <squinty> knome, yes understood... he said he was searching for a site to paste and you told him to extract config.txt (or whatever is relevant)..presumably he will do that first. :-)
[22:03] <alb> !paste
[22:05] <knome> squinty, indeed, but he's pasted stuff to pastebins already...
[22:14] <alb> I still cant find a place to post the panel backup file!!! aaarrrgghhhh, I give up.
[22:21] <alb> knome, OK, I extracted the archive and there are only 3 launchers in the panel backup!!! That can't be right!!!! There should be at least 10! I will post the text file (config.txt)........
[22:23] <alb> knome, ok, text at https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8875687
[22:24] <knome> alb, as you see yourself, only three launchers are mentioned in the file
[22:24] <knome> so either something is going wrong or you have export the wrong file
[22:25] <knome> exported too
[22:26] <alb> yes, thanks knome, I need to look at the exporting process I think!!!! Sure with there was a way to manually make the configuration...say from a command line::>
[22:26] <knome> you can make manually everything... even write a shakespeare novel
[22:26] <knome> whether it's sensible or faster than another way is a different thing
[22:28] <alb> yes, I'll stop blaming the recipient system, the problem is likely in the donor system!!!! thanks so much for your assistance!!!
[22:28] <knome> np, goood luck
[22:29] <alb> Maybe I should just copy the entire home folder into the new install!!!!!!
[22:29] <knome> btw, you don't need to shout (!!!!!!)
[22:29] <alb> i get excited:>
[22:30] <alb> so sorry, not intended to be malicious:<>
[22:30] <knome> just hold your horses :P
[22:30] <alb> holding
[22:31] <alb> im looking at the config.txt, it seems pretty simple. Maybe I could just roll my own:>
[22:31] <knome> well...
[22:32] <knome> feel free to
[22:33] <alb> copying the entire home folder from one install to the other is looking like a more practical solution too.
[22:34] <knome> that's one way to do it
[22:37] <alb> Not sure what to do, but sure would like to get the SSD system running!!!!! The SSDflies!
[22:37] <alb> flies
[22:38] <alb> take care and again, thanks.
