[01:56] <michael_> Can someone help me? I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux overall and only my speakers work but my headphones aren't and I looked through a lot of forums but didn't found a solution.
[01:58] <pavlos> right click on the sound prefs and select the headphones
[02:00] <michael_> The problem is that it doesn't show me headphones
[02:01] <michael_> It only shows built in audio analog which is the speakers and HD audio controller Surround 7.1
[02:01] <michael_> Which should be the headphones but it doesn't work
[02:03] <pavlos> if you plug in headphones, lsusb should list them as a device. Does it?
[02:04] <michael_> I have 3 different headphones and none of them showed up
[02:04] <michael_> I would ask my dad cause he works in Canonical but he is sleeping right now
[02:05] <pavlos> I just plugged in my headphones and lsusb gives me Bus 001 Device 003: ID 047f:c01f Plantronics, Inc.
[02:06] <pavlos> right click on the speaker (top right), Sound Prefs, Hardware it lists the headphones
[02:07] <michael_> It only lists Built in audio and GM204 for me
[02:07] <michael_> Is there a chance that I'm missing a driver?
[02:08] <pavlos> do you know the headphone model#
[02:09] <michael_> I only know the headphone model of my razer kraken
[02:09] <michael_> But I read that Razer doesn't support linux
[02:11] <pavlos> sorry dont know what razer kraken is

[06:45] <johnc4510> couple of yrs, but i used gnome exclusively before that
[06:45] <francis> i see me just now
[06:45] <johnc4510> ubuntu mate lts is really really nice
[06:46] <francis> Im trying to use it to retrieve my crash hard drive
[06:46] <johnc4510> ah...what fun
[06:46] <johnc4510> lol
[06:46] <francis> using testdisk and ddrescue but still no luck
[06:46] <francis> ahaha
[06:46] <francis> yup its nice to installing it on raspberry pi 3
[06:46] <johnc4510> hmm
[06:48] <francis> it is also nice to have this kind of chat room
[06:48] <johnc4510> sure...i'm kind of use to #ubuntu and #freenode....very lively
[06:49] <johnc4510> i've been using ubuntu for about 10 yrs now
[06:49] <francis> wow
[06:50] <francis> have you also use this chat room ?
[06:50] <francis> before?
[06:50] <johnc4510> nope...first time
[06:50] <gordonjcp> johnc4510: I'm tempted to fire up as many of the old releases as I can in a VM
[06:51] <gordonjcp> francis: IRC channel, rather than "chat room" :-)
[06:51] <johnc4510> gordonjcp: that sounds interesting
[06:51] <gordonjcp> johnc4510: I think the first Ubuntu I used was probably 6.06, so right enough about ten years ago :-)
[06:51] <francis> Hi gordon
[06:51] <johnc4510> yep...probably for me too
[06:51] <francis> hehe sorry
[06:51] <francis> IRC
[06:52] <gordonjcp> francis: handy hint, when you want to address someone directly, start typing their nickname and hit "TAB" to autocomplete it :-)
[06:52] <johnc4510> francis: yep
[06:52] <gordonjcp> johnc4510: mostly I'd used slackware before that, and Debian and RedHat at work
[06:52] <francis> I see thanks for sharing
[06:53] <johnc4510> yeah i've tried a lot of the distros over the yrs...love to keep an extra hd working...hee hee

[07:01]  * gordonjcp -> work
[07:01] <gordonjcp> eep, 8am
[08:02] <michael_> Is there any way to play SWTOR on Ubuntu?
[08:09] <alkisg> michael_: install playonlinux and select to install it from its menu
[08:11] <michael_> Thanks, also what's the keyboard shortcut to switch language in linux like Shift+alt in Windows
[08:12] <alkisg> It can be Alt+Shift, it depends on your language
[08:13] <alkisg> What's the output of this? setxkbmap -query
[08:13] <alkisg> (if you run that on a terminal)
[08:13] <michael_> The language I want to switch to is hebrew
[08:14] <alkisg> OK, paste the output here
[08:15] <michael_> This is the output?
[08:15] <michael_> rules:      evdev
[08:15] <michael_> model:      pc105
[08:15] <michael_> layout:     us,il
[08:15] <michael_> variant:    ,
[08:16] <alkisg> layout:     us,gr
[08:16] <alkisg> options:    grp:alt_shift_toggle
[08:16] <alkisg> This is mine
[08:16] <alkisg> I have the "alt_shift_toggle" option, to be able to switch with alt+shift
[08:16] <alkisg> Did you install in english, or in hebrew?
[08:17] <michael_> English
[08:17] <alkisg> That's why you didn't get the proper settings
[08:17] <alkisg> It would be better to install in Hebrew, and then select english on login
[08:17] <michael_> And later installed hebrew in the language support
[08:17] <alkisg> Now try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
[08:17] <alkisg> And select the correct settings there, then reboot
[08:20] <michael_> It tells me the keyboard configuration isn't installed
[08:20] <alkisg> Are you using ubuntu-mate?
[08:21] <alkisg> Maybe you typed something wrong?
[08:22] <michael_> Yes I'm using mate
[08:23] <alkisg> You probably typed something wrong then, try copy/pasting the command
[08:31] <michael_> I finally found it, It was in the Control center in keyboard
[08:32] <michael_> There were a few options like Shift+alt and ctrl+alt, Thanks anyways
[08:35] <alkisg> michael_: that's a per user option for the graphics environment only, while what I said is the correct system-wide approach
[08:35] <alkisg> But whatever you want
[09:15] <francis> anyone here experience retrieving unallocated hard disk? and its not even can initialize
[10:17] <asdfgpio> Hello!
[10:18] <alkisg> Hello
[10:18] <asdfgpio> I'm running from a live CD.
[10:26] <telanus> :D
[13:15] <DarkPsydeLord> Hi
[13:15] <alkisg> Hello
[13:20] <DarkPsydeLord> :)
[18:19] <hackstink> hi
[18:55] <Abdull> hello
[18:56] <Abdull> welcome SCHAAP137
[18:57] <Abdull> welcome stooj
[18:57] <Abdull> Hello
[18:57] <DarkPsydeLord> hello
[18:58] <Abdull> can i get simple help?
[18:58] <Abdull> im noob
[18:58] <Abdull> but i cant change time from 24 to 12
[18:58] <Abdull> that function is not there
[18:58] <Abdull> mission
[18:59] <Abdull> my clock show 21:59
[18:59] <Abdull> any help please?
[19:01] <Akuli> https://www.google.com/search?q=mate+12+hour+time+format
[19:03] <Akuli> dconf write /org/mate/panel/objects/clock/prefs/format "'12-hour'"
[19:04] <Akuli> should work
[19:04] <DarkPsydeLord> thats simple
[19:04] <DarkPsydeLord> o lol
[19:04] <DarkPsydeLord> too slow
[19:04] <Akuli> the askubuntu answer has screwed up with quotes
[19:04] <Akuli> '"12-hour'"
[19:04] <Akuli> lol
[19:06] <DarkPsydeLord> dconf write /org/mate/panel/objects/clock/prefs/format "'12-hour"' <---
[19:06] <DarkPsydeLord> response to fast to spell check
[19:06] <DarkPsydeLord> XD
[19:06] <Akuli> yep
[19:06] <Akuli> i'm pretty sure it should be "'12-hour'"
[19:06] <Akuli> or maybe its '"12-hour"'
[19:07] <DarkPsydeLord> first one is correct
[19:08] <SCHAAP137> hi Abdull
[19:09] <rahtgaz> It should be any in fact, no? I mean, there's no variable expansion. Just the need for a quoted string
[19:10] <Akuli> '"12-hour"' will be unquoted to "12-hour"
[19:10] <rahtgaz> yup
[19:10] <Akuli> and "'12-hour'" will be unquoted to '12-hour'
[19:10] <Abdull> i will test it now
[19:10] <Abdull> thanks all for your help
[19:10] <Akuli> i think dconf will care about which it gets
[19:10] <Akuli> or maybe not
[19:11] <rahtgaz> precisely. it shouldn't matter. Unless there was a shell special character there, like $ or *. In that case, the first form wouldn't work
[19:11] <Abdull> i think i need to reboot to change take affect right
[19:11] <Akuli> no
[19:11] <Akuli> log out and log back in
[19:11] <rahtgaz> well, maybe it does... dconf is so picky sometimes
[19:11] <Akuli> dconf settings are user-wide
[19:11] <Abdull> its now show 22:11
[19:11] <Akuli> so logging in again is enough
[19:12] <Abdull> no buttun for logout and login in mate
[19:12] <Abdull> its my first day in ubuntu mate
[19:12] <rahtgaz> It's on the System menu
[19:12] <Abdull> i will try reboot and will be back
[19:12] <DarkPsydeLord> sometimes chars need to be scaped
[19:12] <Abdull> thanks for help me
[19:13] <rahtgaz> Hope he didn't reboot :)
[19:13] <rahtgaz> it was on the system menu
[19:13] <DarkPsydeLord> he did XD
[19:13] <rahtgaz> hehe
[19:15] <abdull> hi
[19:15] <rahtgaz> wb
[19:15] <abdull> too bad its not work
[19:16] <rahtgaz> you mean the clock on the panel (top right)?
[19:16] <abdull> i think its show in left side becoz im arab
[19:16] <abdull> in our lang is right to left
[19:17] <abdull> i think it shuld be there a function for change time from 24hour to 12 but i dont think its display like a bug or something
[19:17] <rahtgaz> if you right-click it and select Preferences, you can change the hour sformat
[19:17] <rahtgaz> /sformat/format
[19:18] <abdull> can you write the full dirctaroty
[19:18] <abdull> for that file
[19:19] <abdull> abdullah@Abdullah-HP:~$ /sformat/format
[19:19] <abdull> bash: /sformat/format: No such file or directory
[19:19] <abdull> abdullah@Abdullah-HP:~$ /sformat/format
[19:19] <abdull> bash: /sformat/format: No such file or directory
[19:19] <abdull> abdullah@Abdullah-HP:~$ /sformat/format

[19:19] <abdull> abdullah@Abdullah-HP:~$ /sformat/format
[19:19] <abdull> bash: /sformat/format: No such file or directory
[19:19] <abdull> ops
[19:19] <abdull> sorry
[19:20] <abdull> https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/how-to-customize-panel-date-time-display-at-ubuntu-mate/8243
[19:20] <abdull> i think its bug
[19:20] <rahtgaz> abdull: wait. Take a deep breath and follow me here :)
[19:20] <rahtgaz> are you listening?
[19:20] <abdull> ok sure
[19:20] <abdull> yes im with you
[19:20] <rahtgaz> right.
[19:21] <rahtgaz> so are you talking about the clock that is at the top right of your screen?
[19:21] <abdull> yes
[19:21] <abdull> its built in with mate
[19:21] <abdull> its fresh install
[19:21] <rahtgaz> click it with the right button of your mouse
[19:21] <rahtgaz> and select the Preferences option from the menu that drops down
[19:22] <abdull> yes keep goin
[19:22] <rahtgaz> ]in the window that is now showing, do you see a 12 hour and 24 hour time format that you can choose?
[19:22] <abdull> no
[19:23] <abdull> its there
[19:23] <rahtgaz> :/
[19:23] <abdull> i mean its there by default for ubuntu mate
[19:23] <abdull> but its not appar in my system
[19:23] <rahtgaz> what do you want to do?
[19:23] <rahtgaz> oh I see
[19:24] <abdull> As far as I know the date time display in the panel follows the language settings from "Language Support" => "Regional Formats".
[19:24] <abdull> i think that what happend to me
[19:24] <rahtgaz> no. That's got nothing to do with it. I think you have a different version of Ubuntu-MATE
[19:24] <abdull> its lts version
[19:24] <abdull> amd64
[19:25] <abdull> Linux Abdullah-HP 4.4.0-34-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 27 16:06:39 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[19:25] <rahtgaz> open a terminal window
[19:26] <rahtgaz> and type the following
[19:26] <abdull> ok sure
[19:26] <rahtgaz> lsb_release -a
[19:26] <rahtgaz> paste it here
[19:26] <abdull> abdullah@Abdullah-HP:~$ lsb_release -a
[19:26] <abdull> No LSB modules are available.
[19:26] <abdull> Distributor ID: Ubuntu

[19:26] <abdull> Release: 16.04
[19:26] <abdull> Codename: xenial
[19:27] <rahtgaz> I have to see this with my own eyes... do you mean to say that on the time preferences window you opened when you chose preferences there was no 12/24 hour format? Can you post a screenshot of that window?
[19:28] <abdull> im so sure there is no 12/24 in abdullah@Abdullah-HP:~$ lsb_release -a
[19:28] <abdull> No LSB modules are available.
[19:28] <abdull> Distributor ID: Ubuntu
[19:28] <abdull> Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
[19:28] <abdull> Release: 16.04
[19:28] <abdull> Codename: xenial
[19:28] <abdull> im so sure there is no 12/24 in  preferences
[19:28] <abdull> wait i can send you pic
[19:28] <rahtgaz> please do
[19:28] <abdull> i think its becoz the mate version is arabic
[19:28] <rahtgaz> hmmm
[19:28] <abdull> and its think i only have 24 format
[19:29] <rahtgaz> that could be it indeed. I don't know though. That's a great question for the Ubuntu-MATE forums, even if you find the answer here or elsewhere
[19:30] <abdull> https://help.gnome.org/users/clock/stable/clock-settings.html.en
[19:31] <abdull> see this line
[19:31] <abdull> This option is not shown if your session language does not use the 12 hour clock.
[19:32] <rahtgaz> you folks don't use that format over there?
[19:32] <abdull> no
[19:32]  * rahtgaz nods
[19:32] <abdull> i never in my life use that time format
[19:33] <rahtgaz> I think I understand the problem then.
[19:33] <rahtgaz> so what you want to do exactly?
[19:33] <abdull> i need help to make it 12 clock
[19:35] <rahtgaz> The previous option in which you used dconf didn't work. But it should. So it's likely more involving than that and it's got to do something with the regional settings just like you suspected
[19:35] <pavlos> the clock prefs should look like this http://imgur.com/a/GX3OC
[19:35] <abdull> this is the pic https://i.gyazo.com/cd90e8a392715456898a44122dcc155f.png
[19:35] <rahtgaz> So I would advise you to go to the #ubuntu channel. There ask if there is any ubuntu arabic channel because you need help changing your regional settings
[19:36] <rahtgaz> pavlos: he's not seeing the clock format options there.
[19:37] <abdull> in ubuntu and linux mint and xubuntu its work fine
[19:37] <rahtgaz> abdull: with any luck there may even be some arabic users there than will be able to help you straight away
[19:37] <abdull> maybe its the new 16.04 lts ubuntu?
[19:37] <rahtgaz> I don't know, I'm sorry :(
[19:38] <pavlos> rahtgaz, the only thing I found is to edit his .profile and export LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
[19:38] <abdull> i will do that now
[19:38] <rahtgaz> pavlos that's a good idea!
[19:38] <pavlos> then logout/login
[19:38] <abdull> nano .profile
[19:39] <abdull> and add this line "export LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8" to the last line?
[19:39] <abdull> and save?
[19:39] <abdull> is that currect
[19:39] <abdull> abdullah@Abdullah-HP:~$ nano .profile
[19:39] <abdull> abdullah@Abdullah-HP:~$ export LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
[19:39] <abdull> abdullah@Abdullah-HP:~$
[19:39] <abdull> i do both
[19:42] <abdull> its work thanks
[19:42] <abdull> thankss
[19:42] <rahtgaz> woohoo!
