[00:30] my nvidi graphics cars won't show up in lspci or the additional drivers menu [00:30] nvidia* [00:30] so i am unable to install the appropriate driver [00:30] anyone available to help? [00:31] 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] @stormchaser3000 I've never had an nvidia card not show up in a system unless it was disabled in BIOS. [00:32] or DOA. [00:33] Alderin: how do i enable it? [00:33] (that is another thing i was wondering about) [00:33] i know how to access the bios [00:33] but i couldn't find and setting for it [00:33] That varies greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer, and I don't go in there too often. [00:34] Typically, there is a mention of "Onboard Video" that you can enable or disable. [00:35] Sometimes, the BIOS will refused to allow another video card to run if Onboard is enabled. [00:35] Though I haven't had issues with that myself in years.

Since I was using Xfce, I tried system-config-printer-common, but that didn't do it. [00:48] Yup, that worked. Thanks! === JeZxLee_ is now known as JeZxLee === alexandr2 is now known as alexandros_c [11:16] Hey, I'm just testing this out. [11:16] Just switched from 12.04 to 16.04, and I've never used the IRC before [11:17] 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] And... now I have. So bye, everybody. [11:20] My only solution to this is by disabling wifi when wired. [14:25] 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... [14:25] (VBox addons installed) [14:25] Can someone reproduce? [14:26] not only line above, but also abouve and 2 characters to the left [15:14] hi - can anyone point me to a good step-by-step tutorial for installing apache/mysql/PHP on Xubuntu 16.04? [15:21] studentneedhelp, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP its an oldie but a goodie [15:26] 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] hi guys [15:38] --help [15:38] help [16:02] must have sorted it out [18:58] Good morning (UGT) [18:59] 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] Is it possible to hide this message? I think I shouldn't be seeing it after a simple logout [19:05] Morrog: you mean it briefly shows up when you logout before showing the login manager again? [19:05] yes, exactly [19:05] 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] probably [19:06] it also isn't a big issue, obviously. but i'd rather not see it :) [19:18] Pici, any clue how I could make that message disappear? === alexandr2 is now known as alexandros_c [19:54] 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] 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] 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] 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] I think the backup and restore function is broken. [20:49] 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] unless something has changed since yak started dev of course [20:50] flocculant, I can post pictures. [20:51] flocculant, both installs are fairly new, but there were no errors during the install. [20:51] yep [20:51] alb: did you export? [20:52] ok, it will take me awhile...yes, export went fine, import went fine. [20:53] 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] alb: ok - after importing - then select - then apply config [20:55] flocculant, yes, correct. I moved the cursor to the new configuration file, then clicked 'apply'. [20:55] and it failed then [20:56] 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] 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] yup [20:59] I'm not saying that the issue is local - just that I've not been able to confirm it :) [20:59] flocculant, I'll go take some screen captures and post them, it will take awhile::> [20:59] alb: hang on a mo [21:00] flocculant, Maybe I could sned you the backup file and you could try it?? [21:00] was what I was thinking [21:00] flocculant, hanging. [21:00] alb: no need - took the words out of my mouth [21:01] flocculant, I have no idea how to send a file on IRC though, but if I post it you can download it. [21:01] back in a while..... [21:01] alb: ok do that [21:02] but I'm not about for much longer tonight [21:13] 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] The aplication closed unexpectly and so on.. I gues i have to reinstall. I am tired of it. [21:15] why would you need to reinstall? [21:15] which application closed unexpectedly? [21:15] how is your system frozen? [21:15] and for debugging, which xubuntu version are you using? [21:17] If it crash and not will work.. I dont know.. the update program is frozen. [21:18] open a terminal and run "lsb_release -a" without the quotes to find out your version [21:18] I found software in the taskmanager. Shud i use stop, kill or terminate ? [21:19] what is the diferents ? [21:20] please answer the questions i am asking you so i can help [21:20] I am using 16.04 [21:20] 64 bit [21:20] ok, so is it only the updater that is frozen, not the whole system? [21:21] I tought all was frozen.. but it is only the updater. [21:22] okay [21:22] so which application was it that closed unexpectedly, in case it would be connected to this issue? [21:23] 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] ok, so if you click on the close button on the updater, does it ask if you want to terminate the process? [21:25] It is the quit button. It is frozen blue. [21:27] Did you add any repositories recently? [21:27] no [21:33] I cant post on paste.ubuntu.com....they dont allow png and zip files. [21:33] xubuntu01w, can you get the updater to close? [21:33] !imagebin | alb [21:33] alb: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imgur.com/ and link the created page here. [21:33] I think so.. But in the taskmanager there is diferents commands. kill ? terminate ? [21:34] I will not make it worse. [21:34] they should be similar in function but try kill first. [21:36] flocculant, and knome http://imgur.com/a/GiTxu shows both screens. [21:37] 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] xubuntu01w, don't restart [21:37] xubuntu01w, run the following in a terminal [21:37] xubuntu01w, sudo apt-get update [21:37] xubuntu01w, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [21:37] ok [21:38] the first one will make sure your repositories are updated, the second one does all updates [21:38] take note of any error messages potentially popping up [21:40] flocculant, I dont know where to upload the configuration file, imgur.com only accepts pictures!!! argh. [21:40] It is done. [21:40] There was nothing new installed. [21:41] xubuntu01w, then you should be good to go. [21:42] alb, sometimes problems arise if you haven't got all panel plugins that are used in the backup installed [21:42] 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] The maybe all is ok..but after all updtaes libre office and many things maybe i shud restart ? [21:43] 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] mostly after new kernel i have seen. [21:44] the panel backup fileis at http://pastebin.com/detfTdFj [21:44] xubuntu01w, yes, then the reboot is required if you want to start using the new kernel [21:45] alb, that didn't work out... [21:45] knoem.. Anyway thank you for the help. I will try this and hope it will works like normal. [21:45] xubuntu01w, have fun with xubuntu [21:45] knome i meen. [21:46] knome, both are fairly new installs and both updated. How do I check to see if plugiuns are present??? [21:47] 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] 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] knome, is this work in progress...still in development??? Or did I do something wrong?? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [21:49] everything is always work in progress, but generally, it should work [21:50] it doesn't mean you are necessarily doing anything wrong either [21:50] maybe you have hit some bug that is unseen for now [21:50] manual setting up is a big pain.....I sure wish the restore would work. [21:51] knome, ok, were you able to download the backup file?? [21:51] alb, no. the pastebin you showed us only contains the local filename [21:51] argh....ok. Let me see if I can figure itout. [21:53] ok,pastebinsays only textfiles are allowed::> [21:54] if you open the compressed file, you'll notice a file called config.txt inside; pastebining that might be enough [21:54] i mean, i'm not sure if it helps that we see what's inside the configuration... [21:58] knome still looking for awebsiteto paste the wholefilein. [21:59] i don't think it would be sensible to accept compressed files [21:59] google drive or some other cloud service if you have an account [22:00] !paste [22:00] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [22:00] squinty, he's trying to paste a compressed .tar.bz2 file, those won't help [22:02] 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] !paste [22:03] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [22:05] squinty, indeed, but he's pasted stuff to pastebins already... [22:14] I still cant find a place to post the panel backup file!!! aaarrrgghhhh, I give up. [22:21] 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] knome, ok, text at https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8875687 [22:24] alb, as you see yourself, only three launchers are mentioned in the file [22:24] so either something is going wrong or you have export the wrong file [22:25] exported too [22:26] 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] you can make manually everything... even write a shakespeare novel [22:26] whether it's sensible or faster than another way is a different thing [22:28] yes, I'll stop blaming the recipient system, the problem is likely in the donor system!!!! thanks so much for your assistance!!! [22:28] np, goood luck [22:29] Maybe I should just copy the entire home folder into the new install!!!!!! [22:29] btw, you don't need to shout (!!!!!!) [22:29] i get excited:> [22:30] so sorry, not intended to be malicious:<> [22:30] just hold your horses :P [22:30] holding [22:31] im looking at the config.txt, it seems pretty simple. Maybe I could just roll my own:> [22:31] well... [22:32] feel free to [22:33] copying the entire home folder from one install to the other is looking like a more practical solution too. [22:34] that's one way to do it [22:37] Not sure what to do, but sure would like to get the SSD system running!!!!! The SSDflies! [22:37] flies [22:38] take care and again, thanks. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang
