| Shawn|i7-720QM | oh, I have to launch nautilus or pcmanfm under sudo | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| bazhang | what is cod1 Shawn|i7-720QM | 00:36 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | idk, what is that? | 00:36 |
| bazhang | Shawn|i7-720QM> why do I keep getting an error on c0d1?? | 00:37 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | oh, I had it mounted at the same time I tried viewing it in gparted | 00:37 |
| bazhang | what is it | 00:37 |
| bazhang | Shawn|i7-720QM, why are you crossposting multiple ubuntu channels your issues | 00:39 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | I changed all to shawn and create and delete files | 00:40 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | bazhang, well, before it was busier | 00:42 |
| bazhang | Shawn|i7-720QM, well it's not a well accepted practice, the same supporters are in the same multiple channels, please desist | 00:42 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | ah | 00:43 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | bazhang, from someone in ubuntu I was told to talk in xubuntu since this channel is likely to have more xfce experienced users | 00:43 |
| bazhang | Shawn|i7-720QM, so cod1 is some steam or wine game, or what | 00:44 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | c0d1 is a disk | 00:44 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | /dev/cciss/c0d1 is the 2nd logical drive in the scsi array | 00:44 |
| bazhang | what is on the disk, what are you trying to do | 00:45 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | I changed the permissions via nautilus, and it works | 00:45 |
| bazhang | changed how, by what commands, so what's the problem you are posting about here and now | 00:45 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | bazhang, someone hours ago also said my questions were still valid in ubuntu, and were helping me | 00:46 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | bazhang by right clicking the drive, and going to permissions, changing all from root to shawn | 00:46 |
| bazhang | 'it all works' | 00:47 |
| bazhang | so what's the problem | 00:47 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | well, the problem is solved | 00:51 |
| bazhang | so what are you posting to #ubuntu and here for the last hour or so | 00:52 |
| es1 | bazhang, are you op here too? | 00:59 |
| bazhang | es1, lets keep the offtopic chatter to #xubuntu-offtopic please | 01:00 |
| es1 | Dear God | 01:00 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | bazhang, I silenced myself after ben64's arrogance set me off | 01:00 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | no problems now | 01:00 |
| bazhang | Shawn|i7-720QM, he's a volunteer, same as the rest of us | 01:01 |
| Shawn|i7-720QM | I understand that | 01:01 |
| es1 | What kernel version comes with xubuntu? | 01:01 |
| bazhang | Shawn|i7-720QM, there is no set off, just choose to not type a response | 01:01 |
| * Shawn|i7-720QM facepalms | 01:02 | |
| bazhang | es1 /msg ubottu info linux-image-generic | 01:02 |
| es1 | Thanks | 01:02 |
| bazhang | es1 thats the latest, if you want trusty, then /msg ubottu linux-image-generic trusty | 01:03 |
| es1 | Ok | 01:03 |
| es1 | I was choosing between lubuntu and xubuntu | 01:04 |
| knome | both have the same kernel | 01:04 |
| es1 | Yes I see now | 01:04 |
| es1 | I installed lubuntu since they do list the kernel in their site | 01:04 |
| bazhang | it's ubuntu everywhere under the hood | 01:04 |
| bazhang | just the window dressings and some apps differ | 01:04 |
| es1 | And both should have same performance for low-end machines right? | 01:05 |
| bazhang | xfce and lubuntu? | 01:06 |
| es1 | yeah | 01:06 |
| bazhang | nopers | 01:06 |
| bazhang | lubuntu is quite the lightest | 01:06 |
| es1 | Oh | 01:06 |
| bazhang | es1 distrowatch.com has a listing at what all package version numbers, kernels, etc each and every distro uses | 01:07 |
| es1 | Then I'm glad I installed lubuntu :} | 01:07 |
| es1 | Right, I completely forgot about that site | 01:07 |
| bazhang | es1 they have a support channel here on freenode: #lubuntu | 01:07 |
| es1 | thx | 01:08 |
| bazhang | npx | 01:08 |
| knome | the kernel version number isn't meaningful for most people who install xubuntu so it makes no sense to list it on the website | 01:08 |
| es1 | I have an issue where my laptop won't shutdown completely, I experienced this with several linux distros | 01:09 |
| es1 | So I was hoping the latest kernel would fix that | 01:09 |
| es1 | But it does not | 01:09 |
| bazhang | knome well the distrowatch site never promised sense | 01:09 |
| knome | bazhang, indeed... and i don't have admin rights there, but i might have some for the xubuntu website ;) | 01:10 |
| es1 | It's like, OS shuts down but PC is still on and I have to force it manually | 01:10 |
| bazhang | hehe | 01:10 |
| es1 | Kali, xubuntu, mint, lubuntu, all the same | 01:10 |
| es1 | Best I can do is go with the fastest distro | 01:11 |
| knome | or the one that provides the features and user-friendliness you need... | 01:13 |
| knome | but that's obviously subjective | 01:13 |
| es1 | Since when is linux user friendly :p | 01:14 |
| bazhang | since a decade ago | 01:14 |
| es1 | I just want to be able to shutdown my laptop like a normal decent person | 01:14 |
| bazhang | !warty | 01:14 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) was the first release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30, 2006. See !eol for more details. | 01:14 |
| bazhang | es1 did the laptop advertise as being linux friendly? | 01:15 |
| bazhang | es1 did you shop with being linux capable in mind? | 01:15 |
| es1 | no | 01:16 |
| bazhang | well thats the laptop makers issue | 01:16 |
| es1 | I shopped looking for certain hardware | 01:16 |
| es1 | and small design | 01:17 |
| es1 | Sure | 01:17 |
| bazhang | intel is pretty much the most linux friendly, in term of NIC, graphics and so on | 01:17 |
| bazhang | many thinkpads, for example are almost all intel | 01:18 |
| es1 | Celeron N2840 | 01:18 |
| bazhang | thats incredibly slow | 01:18 |
| es1 | It did also had the NIC I was looking for :p | 01:18 |
| bazhang | no OS is going to go fast on that one | 01:18 |
| es1 | CPU speed is not an issue for me | 01:19 |
| es1 | I just want to be able to shutdown my laptop remember x) | 01:19 |
| bazhang | I mean all around performance | 01:19 |
| es1 | I did upgrade to 8GB RAM and SSD | 01:20 |
| bazhang | so figure out what is causing the shutdown issue instead of kernel chasing | 01:20 |
| es1 | "kernel chasing" you make it sound nasty x) | 01:21 |
| bazhang | jave you tried shutting down from the command line | 01:22 |
| es1 | Yeah | 01:22 |
| bazhang | and what is the exact error message you get | 01:22 |
| es1 | I don't get any error, laptop starts shutting down, I see OS logging of, services being killed etc. | 01:23 |
| es1 | everything normal | 01:23 |
| es1 | screen goes black like normal but the device is still on | 01:23 |
| bazhang | es1 if you are logging off in cli, what screen going black are you speaking of | 01:24 |
| es1 | screen black like when your laptop shutdown | 01:24 |
| es1 | If it weren't for the power led you wouldn't notice it is still on | 01:25 |
| bazhang | es1, how are you getting into the cli, and what command do you use to shutdown | 01:25 |
| es1 | It's been a while | 01:26 |
| bazhang | es1, those are the kinds of things we need to troubleshoot | 01:27 |
| es1 | I stopped trying those solutions after they all failed in Kali, Mint, Xubuntu, etc | 01:27 |
| es1 | Yeah | 01:27 |
| bazhang | es1 to reproduce errors, and get messages that we can then figure out the issue | 01:27 |
| bazhang | 'all failed' wont get any help | 01:28 |
| es1 | I'm just not doing that troubleshoot right now | 01:28 |
| es1 | Since I'm not using it right now | 01:28 |
| es1 | Maybe I'll do it next week | 01:28 |
| bazhang | be sure to give us the exact details | 01:29 |
| es1 | Will do | 01:29 |

| xubuntu52d | Hello | 18:49 |
| diogenes_ | hi | 18:50 |
| xubuntu22d | Hello | 18:50 |
| xubuntu22d | Is this a group chat? | 18:50 |
| diogenes_ | aha | 18:50 |
| xubuntu22d | I am new to this. | 18:51 |
| diogenes_ | aha | 18:51 |
| xubuntu22d | There? | 18:51 |
| xubuntu22d | Hello?? | 18:53 |
| diogenes_ | hello | 18:53 |
| xubuntu22d | How does this work? | 18:54 |
| xubuntu22d | Am I supposed to ask questions here? | 18:54 |
| knome | xubuntu22d, if you have a support question, type it and press enter. if somebody knows the answer, they are likely to answer. | 18:54 |
| xubuntu22d | The notifications are screwed up on my Xubuntu machine. I will give two examples. | 18:56 |
| xubuntu22d | When I increase or decrease brightness by scrolling on the battery icon, it works but I do not get any indicator notifications. | 18:57 |
| xubuntu22d | Moreover, when I increase or decrease the volume by scrolling, I do not get any popping sound notifications. | 18:57 |
| xubuntu22d | Is this a bug? | 18:58 |
| xubuntu22d | More information here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/911924/volume-mixer-notifcation-sound-on-volume-change-xubuntu | 18:58 |
| xubuntu22d | And here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/928508/notifications-alert-sound-on-xubuntu-16-04 | 18:58 |
| ubernets | How can I get the xfce brightness plugin to the panel in 16.04. I already installed xfce4-power-manager and xfce4-power-manager-plugins, but still no brightness plugin in "Panel > Add New Items". | 20:09 |
| ubernets | I just noticed the Power Manager Plugin is grayed out in "Add New Items". What may be the issue? | 20:17 |
| xubuntu22d | Then it is already there. Do you have a battery icon? | 20:36 |
| ubernets | xubuntu22d, yes yu are right. I found it now. It looks different than on 14.04 | 20:38 |
