[00:27] <RobW> I think I may have a firewall issue
[00:27] <RobW> Trying to figure out how.. I've completely somewhat *disabled* iptables
[00:27] <RobW> by allowing all connections to try and troubleshoot it..
[00:28] <RobW> I have a ventrilo server running in daemon mode on 3784, in vent I can see the server is available, yet when I try to connect it hangs on 'contacting server'
[00:29] <RobW> If anyone has any ideas it'd be appreciated
[00:33] <RobW> nvm
[00:33] <RobW> forgot to set it up as TCP not UDP :>
[01:03] <Appetite> how can i empty the trash bin as root? a few files in there require root access to delete, and i dont know the mount point of trash :p
[01:05] <psycho_oreos> hmm I can only think of a nasty hack, using gksu and thunar
[01:05] <Appetite> any way that works :p
[01:05] <psycho_oreos> think that idea would work :p you just get a lovely message saying that running as root is dangerous, yadda yadda yadda
[01:06] <Appetite> yeah.
[01:06] <Appetite> either trash via root isn't working, or it still hasn't loaded yet..
[01:06] <Appetite> yeah its not working
[01:06] <Appetite> no loading icon/mouse and  says 0 items in trash
[01:07] <psycho_oreos> no loading icon/mouse?
[01:07] <Appetite> i mean there is  no loading icon, and the mouse doesn't having the loading icon thing attached
[01:08] <Appetite> basically i mean its done loading, yet its empty
[01:09] <psycho_oreos> lol dunno, I hardly use trash bin to be honest.. and like you said before there's no exact location mentioned where is trash.. the other way is to check via lsof and trace to the possible location
[01:09] <psycho_oreos> other than that I dunno why you delete stuff that belongs to root :)
[01:10] <psycho_oreos> s/location/locations
[01:10] <Appetite> it didn't belong to root, it was just in /usr/local/ and i hadn't changed permissions properly before deleting
[01:10] <psycho_oreos> and so you can't move the data out of the trash bin?
[01:11] <Appetite> hm i can try
[01:11] <Appetite> is there a way to disable trash bin? i.e. - delete immidiately?
[01:11] <psycho_oreos> use CLI like I do lol
[01:11] <psycho_oreos> rm
[01:12] <Appetite> k
[01:15] <Appetite> seems i can't move them either
[01:16] <Appetite> theres no documentation as to the mount point of trash? O,o
[01:20] <psycho_oreos> not that I'm aware of but nothing that lsof can't resolve for this instance
[01:21] <Appetite> lsof?
[01:21] <psycho_oreos> its a CLI tool
[01:21] <Appetite>  see that, but how do i use it ?
[01:22] <psycho_oreos> I'd probably have thunar open/running and have it displaying Trash contents (not root's trash but whatever the one you have stuff you want to delete) and then make lsof grep the various open files by thunar
[01:23] <psycho_oreos> then there's another option I just thought of as well, strace
[01:23] <Appetite> lsof | grep 'trash'
[01:23] <Appetite> or
[01:23] <Appetite> lsof | grep 'some item in trash' ?
[01:23] <psycho_oreos> in case grep thunar would probably be more appropriate
[01:24] <Appetite> hm k its running, sec
[01:26] <Appetite> all points returned are /usr/lib/thunar*
[01:26] <Appetite> thunar* is thunar then something
[01:27] <psycho_oreos> probably need to do strace then
[01:27] <Appetite> k
[01:27] <Appetite> same type thing? or different usage?
[01:28] <psycho_oreos> there's a way to make strace point to the pid of the program and in which case thunar
[01:28] <Appetite> ah k
[01:29] <Appetite> hm how can i find the pid of thunar?
[01:29] <Appetite> pgrep 'thunar' is returning nothing
[01:29] <psycho_oreos> it might be listed as Thunar instead of thunar
[01:30] <Appetite> ay. lol
[01:30] <Appetite> /home/user/.local/share/Trash/files
[01:31] <Appetite> is the trash mount point :p
[01:32] <psycho_oreos> well there you go
[01:32] <Appetite> hm. well
[01:33] <Appetite>  /home/user/.local/share/Trash/info/ contains .trashinfo files
[01:33] <Appetite> yet when i delete them
[01:33] <Appetite> they reapper
[01:33] <psycho_oreos> you probably need root perms
[01:33] <psycho_oreos> err
[01:33] <Appetite> :p
[01:34] <psycho_oreos> .trashinfo is probably autocreated by xfce :p
[01:34] <Appetite> woops well they're gone now
[01:34] <Appetite> lol
[02:50] <PingJocky> can anyone confirm that there is no mono in xubuntu?
[03:32] <m1ke_l> ciao!
[03:32] <m1ke_l> how can i replace xfwm with compiz?
[03:32] <m1ke_l> i've replaced xfwm -daemon in xinitrc with compiz --repalce but each boot loads xfwm instead
[04:17] <problematicsad> hello,  the list given to me is network / multimedia / games etc -  But i know some installed programs are in other sections like "education" which doesnt appear  on "start menu of xubuntu"
[04:17] <problematicsad> what am i supposed to do to manipulate this default list, i have been trying to find how for 40 mins and i have no clue
[04:19] <problematicsad> any help will be appreciated.
[04:52] <RobW> renice -20 is a higher priority than renice 20, right
[04:57] <gottto> from the man page you need a + value e.g renice +1 etc
[04:57] <RobW> right
[04:57] <RobW> question
[04:58] <RobW> In 'top' is there a way to view if a process is running on both CPUs or just a single?
[04:58] <RobW> I looked @ taskset, its affinity mask is at 3
[04:59] <gottto> afaik top doesn't show how apps are threaded
[04:59] <RobW> Hm
[04:59] <RobW> so 0x00000003 = proc 0/1
[04:59] <RobW> I guess I can just use that then
[05:06] <Balsaq> good morning Lords of the Qode...
[07:12] <Marie> hi all
[07:12] <Marie> can anyone help me to install xbuntu-desktop on genome 9.10
[07:13] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[07:13] <Marie> doesn't work
[07:13] <bazhang> sure it does
[07:14] <bazhang> check for typos
[07:14] <Marie> just a minute
[07:14] <Marie> thak you bazhang
[07:14] <Marie> it works
[07:14] <bazhang> you're welcome
[07:16] <psycho_oreos> any of you have random hangs with pidgin?
[07:17] <bazhang> use xchat for irc
[07:17] <psycho_oreos> every so often I see pidgin lagging (this doesn't happen frequently, like maybe 1 per day) the CPU usage is high and I had to kill it
[07:17] <psycho_oreos> yeah I'm actually using pidgin for msn mainly
[07:17] <Marie> which one is the best display manger
[07:17] <Marie> suggestion guys
[07:17] <psycho_oreos> Marie, that's kinda like asking which car is the best
[07:18] <Marie> i have got kde and now xubuntu
[07:18] <Marie> i want to try if anything is best than these
[07:18] <bazhang> Marie, try one of the -offtopic channels, or #ubuntu-bots
[07:18] <psycho_oreos> there is no `best', each one is built for different people
[07:19] <Marie> thank you
[08:27] <Robert__> what will the new xubuntu theme look like?
[09:57] <lucas_> hello guys
[09:57] <lucas_> i need help again :P

[10:04] <_Techie_> can you be more precise, have you tried anything?
[10:04] <lucas_> no
[10:04] <lucas_> i only tried lshw -C sound
[10:05] <_Techie_> have you checked in your sound options to see if your soundcard is being detected?
[10:06] <lucas_> wait ill check
[10:06] <_Techie_> also check that its not muted
[10:07] <lucas_> yes its recognized
[10:07] <lucas_> as an oss mixer
[10:08] <lucas_> but not muted
[10:08] <_Techie_> have you chhecked its not muted?
[10:08] <lucas_> no, its not muted...
[10:08] <lucas_> wait i have two choice of sound card
[10:08] <lucas_> ill pick the other one...
[10:08] <_Techie_> in a terminal can you please run the command alsamixer and check that PCM is un muted
[10:09] <Sysi> isn't xfce-mixer frontend for alsamixer?
[10:09] <lucas_> no nothing is muted
[10:10] <lucas_> master=100
[10:11] <lucas_> hello sysi :D

[10:21] <lucas_> reboot without ANYTHIING connected to your computer ^^
[10:21] <lucas_> strange, but working
[10:37] <_Techie_> Sysi, in response to your earlier question about xfce-mixer being a frontend to alsamixer, yes it is but i believe there may be some options that dont exist in xfce-mixer
[10:47] <Sysi> could be
[10:51] <_Techie_> anyway, im gonna head to bed... cant be bothered figuring out whats causing the memory where my cursor is cached to play up
[10:51] <_Techie_> night Sysi
[13:42] <mnemoc> hi, anyone experiencing problems with thunar's file browser in 10.04? in just opened one can select files and open the context menu on them just fine, but if you select another directory the files list becomes untouchable
[13:44] <bazhang> mnemoc, #ubuntu+1 for lucid support
[13:44] <mnemoc> but that's for gnome users
[13:44] <bazhang> no its for everyone, kubuntu xubuntu etc
[13:44] <mnemoc> and there is no xubuntu+1 channel :(
[13:44] <mnemoc> ok
[13:45] <mnemoc> going to ask there, thanks

[15:13] <Jengist> Hello
[15:16] <bazhang> hi
[15:16] <Jengist> How you doing?
[15:17] <Jengist> Many people on here or is it better to look for help on #ubuntu?
[15:19] <Sysi> always worth a try, depending a bit about problem
[15:22] <Jengist> super low level stuff really. not xubuntu specific. video stuff
[15:22] <bazhang> transcoding?
[15:22] <Jengist> I'm just using Xubunu and #Ubuntu is so busy
[15:22] <charlie-tca> !question
[15:22] <Jengist> not transcoding
[15:23] <bazhang> here is a bit more quiet
[15:23] <Jengist> sorry man. anyway, just did an install and after selecting an OS in the grub screen, the display fades through a bunch of different colours
[15:24] <Jengist> but doesn't actually boot
[15:25] <charlie-tca> Try editing the line in the grub menu, removing splash and quiet
[15:25] <Jengist> I'll give at a go right now
[15:25] <charlie-tca> Then you can see if there are any error messages showing up
[15:27] <Jengist> so, delete all of "set quiet=1"?
[15:27] <Jengist> or set it to 0?
[15:27] <charlie-tca> where is that?
[15:28] <charlie-tca> In the grub screen, select the os, then hit 'e' to edit
[15:28] <Jengist> it's what comes up when I hit "e" to edit commands in the grub screen
[15:28] <charlie-tca> should be the second or third line, hilight it, at the end of the line should be "quiet splash"
[15:28] <Jengist> shit! now I see. sorry man. gimme a sec
[15:28] <charlie-tca> remove them
[15:29] <charlie-tca> then read the lines at the bottom that tell how to boot, some are hit enter, some are Ctrl+b,
[15:30] <Jengist> how do I save the edit?
[15:31] <charlie-tca> what's it say at the bottom?
[15:31] <charlie-tca> something to boot
[15:31] <charlie-tca> this is a one time edit, for this boot. If it works, you will edit grub in the default install
[15:35] <Jengist> some stuff flashed by while I was looking at the IRC and now the screen is slowly fading through purple.
[15:35] <charlie-tca> okay, good
[15:35] <Jengist> it's settled on a split screen. purple on the left and black on the right
[15:35] <Jengist> good???
[15:35] <charlie-tca> that is usually bad, at that point
[15:36] <Jengist> yep. looks bad
[15:36] <charlie-tca> Try switching to a TTy, first try try Ctrl+Alt+F7
[15:36] <charlie-tca> then try Ctrl+Alt+F2, then Alt+F7
[15:37] <charlie-tca> Then try Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+k
[15:37] <Jengist> The fits one started some fan activity. the others did nothing
[15:37] <charlie-tca> might be not ready to show gdm yet. The boots are a bit slower in lucid
[15:38] <charlie-tca> Other menu items do boot?
[15:39] <Jengist> didn't try memtest. should I?
[15:39] <charlie-tca> Do you have any other os in the menu?
[15:39] <Jengist> nope. just a plain xubuntu install
[15:39] <charlie-tca> You could try recovery menu, then continue
[15:40] <Jengist> just gave it a go
[15:40] <charlie-tca> Or, better yet, recovery menu, select "fix broken packages", then continue
[15:40] <Jengist> same thing again. green takes over the screen slowly then fades to purple
[15:41] <charlie-tca> that's normal
[15:41] <charlie-tca> that is part of plymouth or xsplash
[15:41] <Jengist> OK so back to grub, recovery mode right?
[15:41] <charlie-tca> yup
[15:42] <charlie-tca> Is this an NVidia video ?
[15:43] <Jengist> no idea what the video is. ahould I find out before proceeding?
[15:43] <charlie-tca> nope
[15:43] <Jengist> well, I'm in the command edit area for recovery mode
[15:44] <charlie-tca> should be a menu there?
[15:44] <charlie-tca> select fix broken packages
[15:44] <Jengist> hang on… I selected recovery mode and hit "e". no menu after that
[15:45] <charlie-tca> no, there won't be. for recovery menu, you just let it boot
[15:46] <charlie-tca> You have two systems there, right?
[15:46] <Jengist> but when I try to boot in recovery, the screen just fades though some colours and then everything stops
[15:46] <Jengist> 2 systems. yep
[15:46] <charlie-tca> If the recovery menu doesn't come up, then start again. remove quiet splash from the first entry
[15:46] <charlie-tca> Then ssh in and see if the system is working
[15:47] <Jengist> remove quiet splash from the non-recovery mode OS right? recovery mode doesn't have those commands
[15:47] <charlie-tca> right
[15:48] <Jengist> OK
[15:49] <Jengist> nah. no good. so how do I ssh in?
[15:50] <charlie-tca> in a terminal, ssh USER_NAME@IP of broken system
[15:50] <charlie-tca> or ssh USER_NAME_IN_BROKEN_SYSTEM@hostname of broken system
[15:51] <Jengist> well, both machines are plugged into the one router here so same IP right?
[15:51] <running_rabbit07> no
[15:51] <Jengist> crap
[15:52] <Jengist> how do I get the IP?
[15:52] <running_rabbit07> are you using 192168.1.0?
[15:52] <running_rabbit07> ifconfig in a terminal
[15:52] <running_rabbit07> or netstat -r
[15:52] <charlie-tca> running_rabbit07: can't boot the machine
[15:53] <running_rabbit07> what about the one you are on
[15:53] <charlie-tca> well, actually, can't get to gdm in the broken system
[15:53] <charlie-tca> Jengist: running_rabbit07 is right, netstart -r should tell you something
[15:55] <running_rabbit07> once you find what ip the system you are on is, we can find the network address and then the IP of the other machine
[15:55] <Jengist> <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:55] <Jengist> OK
[15:55] <running_rabbit07> turn on the other machine and run nmap <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:56] <running_rabbit07> run the command from the working machine
[15:56] <Jengist> Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-03-28 00:56 JST
[15:56] <Jengist> Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -PN
[15:56] <Jengist> Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 0.73 seconds
[15:57] <running_rabbit07> did you turn the power on to the other machine first? If so it isn't booting far enough to use ssh
[15:58] <Jengist> I never turned it off
[15:58] <running_rabbit07> it isn't booting far enough then
[15:58] <Jengist> yeah, just some fan noise right now
[15:59] <running_rabbit07> can you boot a LiveCD on it?
[15:59] <Jengist> Yep
[16:00] <running_rabbit07> I just signed to see you were trying to ssh, I missed what was said before then, what happened?
[16:00] <running_rabbit07> to get where you are now?
[16:01] <Jengist> back now. hey man.
[16:01] <Jengist> just did a plain xubuntu install
[16:01] <running_rabbit07> dual boot?
[16:02] <Jengist> gets to the grub menu but after selecting an OS, display just fades through a bunch of colours
[16:02] <Jengist> no. just linux
[16:02] <running_rabbit07> which version Karmic or Lucid?
[16:02] <Jengist> karmic
[16:03] <running_rabbit07> the install didn't show any errors?
[16:03] <Jengist> nope
[16:03] <running_rabbit07> have you tried testing the CD when you first booted it?
[16:04] <Jengist> yes and the CD tested good
[16:06] <running_rabbit07> I don't know what else to try other than reatempting an install, anyone else have any ideas?
[16:07] <charlie-tca> boot the live cd, get the debugging/bug report information from the broken system, and file a bug
[16:07] <Jengist> a reinstall would have been my next step IF anything at all had seemed to go wrong with the installation process. I'll give it another go though
[16:07] <Jengist> OK charlie
[16:07] <charlie-tca> Might try another install using the alternate cd, if you are up to it
[16:08] <Jengist> I AM using the alternate CD
[16:08] <charlie-tca> oh, sorry
[16:08] <Jengist> I'm up for it though
[16:09] <charlie-tca> Just most people do with the desktop cd, and it screws the installs up, on some systems
[16:09] <Jengist> dude, I was expecting the headaches to be coming later. when I get it working, I want to try and switch the system to Japanese
[16:10] <Planetary> If i edit a file in xubuntu what do I do? I did: sudo mousepad, edit teh text, save, then do I need to reboot? I didn't notice a change, but I didnt reboot. I changed my ati driver from vesa to radeon.
[16:11] <charlie-tca> yup, Planetary. You must reboot to change the video driver
[16:11] <charlie-tca> but just changing it in mousepad won't really do it
[16:11] <Jengist> gonna go with charlie's idea of grabbing the debug info using the liveCD. thanks guys. spot ya later.
[16:11] <charlie-tca> I don't think, anyway. Maybe it will
[16:12] <charlie-tca> good luck, Jengist
[16:12] <Jengist> cheers mate
[16:12] <Planetary> charlie-tca: why? I need to change a printer file and a driver file. I am helping someone. editing files is something im not familiar with. any help?
[16:13] <charlie-tca> Normally, you install the hardware driver using Applications -> System -> Hardware Drivers
[16:14] <charlie-tca> but you will need to restart to change the driver, either way
[16:25] <Planetary> yeah, this is an old ati radeon 7500. I dont want 3d just a fast 2d driver. hardware driver I dont think finds any. way back in 7.04 there was an easy graphic to change it. I wonder if i can install that frontend to change the driver like in 7.04
[18:05] <Planetary> I am running off of the live cd (9.04). it has windows xp on there only. Where can I find the 'my documents folder'. /media has nothing
[18:06] <charlie-tca> you will need to mount the windows folders
[18:09] <Planetary> its been a while where do i go to do that
[18:09] <Planetary> im searching also
[18:10] <Planetary> is this it  http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mounting-windows-partition-onto-ubuntu-linux/
[18:22] <charlie-tca> looks right
[19:28] <lucas_> hey sysi
[19:28] <Sysi> hi
[19:28] <lucas_> how are you
[19:28] <lucas_> ?
[19:29] <Sysi> pretty well
[19:29] <lucas_> i finally had my sound working
[19:29] <Sysi> that's great
[19:30] <lucas_> the thing is you have to reboot without  nothing connected


[00:10] <DumbAss120> Hello, I was wantting to put linux xubuntu on my tablet but all i have id 250 MB of internal storage i have a SD card slot could I run it off there if i rooted it or should i say stay with android:( ?
[00:13] <DumbAss120> nothing?!?!
[00:13] <DumbAss120> hello are we all dead
[00:13] <DumbAss120> ok Peace
[04:58] <maoranma> So, on the topic of LibreOffice's resizing corruption, is this a known bug that's been reported? Is there any kind of workaround?
[05:01] <Artemis3> what video card?
[05:04] <maoranma> Nvidia
[05:04] <Artemis3> model?
[05:04] <maoranma> 140M NVS Quadro to be specific
[05:04] <Artemis3> oh
[05:04] <Artemis3> interesting, where do you see this? writer?
[05:05] <Artemis3> do you have compositing enabled or disabled?
[05:05] <maoranma> Writer. I haven't actually checked the other ones
[05:05] <maoranma> Disabled.
[05:05] <Artemis3> tried enabling it?
[05:05] <maoranma> Yes, same issue.
[05:05] <Artemis3> also, you are using the nvidia driver correct?
[05:06] <maoranma> Yes
[05:06] <maoranma> And same issue in Calc as well
[05:06] <Artemis3> what do you do, just resize?
[05:07] <maoranma> Yea, resize in any form, except by hitting maximize button at the top, and the window corrupts oddly
[05:07] <Artemis3> nvidia settings shows driver version 280.13?
[05:08] <maoranma> If I maximize, it redraws and looks fine, and if I unmax, it redraws and looks fine again, until I try to resize. I have double clicking the title bar set to "fill", and that corrupts too
[05:08] <maoranma> Uh, sec
[05:08] <maoranma> What's the way to check that again? >_<
[05:08] <Artemis3> system menu
[05:09] <Artemis3> NVIDIA X Server Settings
[05:09] <maoranma> Oh, right, just check the nvidia app
[05:09] <maoranma> 295.40
[05:09] <Artemis3> ah nvm, you are using precise...
[05:09] <maoranma> On 12.04, right
[05:09] <Artemis3> i wonder what gpu is that
[05:11] <maoranma> Quadro NVS 140M. On Thinkpad t61
[05:11] <Artemis3> G86M... hmmm
[05:11] <Artemis3> can you run glxgears and check framerate?
[05:11] <maoranma> I don't recall having the issue under Ubuntu 11.10 with Xfce desktop
[05:11] <maoranma> Sure
[05:12] <Artemis3> there is a bug with 295.40 but its supposedly affecting only g80 or less
[05:12] <Artemis3> some people have been able to revert the problem by using an older driver
[05:13] <maoranma> Installing mesa-utils, sec
[05:14] <maoranma> ~3700-4000FPS
[05:14] <Artemis3> seems fine
[05:14] <maoranma> yea, it's strange.
[05:18] <Artemis3> i think you could try using 295.33
[05:23] <maoranma> Hmm, jocky-gtk shows (version current), which is the active one, and (post-release updates) (version current-update).
[07:53] <xubuntu740> Привет
[07:55] <psycho_oreos> !ru | xubuntu740
[07:55] <xubuntu740> thanks
[07:55] <psycho_oreos> no problems
[08:01] <xubuntu740> Maybe you and I can help. Need a driver for the WiFi xubuntu 11.10 at asus eeepc 1015bx
[08:03] <psycho_oreos> I can probably help but I don't speak Russian
[08:03] <psycho_oreos> pastebin (not paste) your lspci -nnk output
  You can not help in Russian) need a valid driver who will normally transfer the card into "monitor mode"
[08:34] <psycho_oreos> xubuntu740, normally its: iwconfig <interface> mode monitor ... but it all depends, such as:　1) Are you using ndiswrapper driver? 2) Are you using some proprietary wireless driver? 3) Do you have any other network managing programs such as network-manager/wicd running in the background which may interfere the process?
[08:44] <xubuntu740> 1) no, 2)no. 3)runing network-manager
[08:51] <psycho_oreos> xubuntu740, so that command that I just wrote should work but you should set your network-manager to not manage wireless when you're using monitor mode or else it would interfere
[08:51] <psycho_oreos> and if you get permission denied, you simply need to run that command with `sudo' in front of it
[08:53] <xubuntu740> thx
[11:42] <WhereIsMySpoon> Hi - I just booted up into an xfce session and i cant alt-tab, alt-f4 and all the windows are stuck to the top of the screen with the title bar being on the top of the screen like unity :S
[11:42] <WhereIsMySpoon> it wasnt like this yesterday
[11:43] <Sysi> alt F2 "xfwm4 --replace"
[11:43] <WhereIsMySpoon> ah!!!
[11:43] <WhereIsMySpoon> :D:D:D:D:D
[11:43] <Sysi> since it's probably caused by corrupted session, rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions in terminal
[11:43] <WhereIsMySpoon> rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions
[11:43] <WhereIsMySpoon> oops
[11:43] <WhereIsMySpoon> xD
[11:44] <WhereIsMySpoon> thanks :D
[11:44] <WhereIsMySpoon> that was quick and easy ^^
[11:49] <Os_Maleus> WhereIsMySpoon: You can hold the ALT bottom pushed and use Your mouse to pull down the window as well.
[11:49] <malv> http://biebian.sourceforge.net/
[12:02] <Wizard> good afternoon o/
[12:04] <Wizard> why leafpad replaced mousepad?
[12:05] <knome> mousepad was originally forked from leafpad and is not maintained anymore
[12:05] <Wizard> sounds reasonable :)
[12:05] <Wizard> so now xfce and lxde share editor? good
[12:15] <MeanEYE> A friend of mine has a problem where after he logs in, black screen flashes and he's logged out again. Xubuntu 11.10 is in question.
[12:15] <MeanEYE> Any known issues about this?
[12:16] <Sysi> loggin in to tty Ctrl Alt F6 and rm -rf ~/.ICEauthority may help
[12:16] <MeanEYE> Thanks. I'll try
[12:16] <Sysi> or need to delete everything in ~/.config and ~/.cache
[12:17] <MeanEYE> Tried with ~/.config/
[12:17] <MeanEYE> Didn't play with ~/.cache
[12:19] <Wizard> removing .config is rather radical move
[12:20] <MeanEYE> Not the whole ~/.config... just ~/.config/xfce*
[12:20] <Wizard> wise :)
[12:20] <MeanEYE> Sane :)
[12:23] <Wizard> MeanEYE, have you checked .xsession-errors?
[12:23] <MeanEYE> No.
[12:23] <Wizard> check.
[12:23] <Wizard> also, ckeck .dmrc
[12:23] <MeanEYE> I don't have direct access to that machine. I know, pointless kind of, but we'll see if ICEauthority removal helped.
[12:23] <Wizard> k
[12:24] <MeanEYE> If not, I am going to resort to checking error logs. Because guy on the other of our chay is typing everything to me.
[12:24] <MeanEYE> :D Log's are not easily pasted :P through fingers.
[12:24] <Wizard> ah, right
[12:24] <Wizard> http://wklej.org has some console tool
[12:25] <MeanEYE> ICEauthority worked. Thanks folks!
[12:25] <Wizard> that was Sysi
[12:25] <Sysi> I'm folk too
[12:25] <MeanEYE> :)
[12:25] <WhereIsMySpoon> malv - lol what, bieber linux
[12:25] <WhereIsMySpoon> D:
[12:26] <WhereIsMySpoon> anyone here tried archlinux?
[12:26] <knome> WhereIsMySpoon, #xubuntu-offtopic please
[12:26] <MeanEYE> I did on few ocasions, for few hours ;P
[12:26] <Sysi> if you really like fiddling with things, arch is for you
[12:26] <WhereIsMySpoon> knome, sorreh
[12:28] <knome> re: pasting from terminal: check pastebinit
[12:44] <Wizard> knome, thanks
[12:45] <Wizard> hmm, seems it's being installed by default
[12:48] <knome> Wizard, exactly
[12:48] <Wizard> good to know
[15:17] <lighta> hmm little mysql issue, would I be able to reconfigure it via dkpf --reconfigure ? start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.50" (uid=1000 pid=10047 comm="start mysql ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")
[15:20] <Wizard> lighta, don't you try running it as ordinary user?
[15:21] <lighta> hmm ah that may be so
[15:24] <lighta> right that was so I feel dumb thx Wizard
[15:25] <Wizard> lighta, no problem ;]
[16:24] <tcossey> join /#ubuntu

[16:25] <baizon> )(
[16:25] <baizon> =)
[16:28] <Wizard> :)
[16:29] <Wizard> do you think I should report this as a bug: http://wstaw.org/w/1452/linki/ ?
[16:29] <Wizard> application icons are inconsistent
[16:30] <baizon> no they are not =)
[16:30] <baizon> "web browser" is a shortcut for launch exo ...
[16:30] <baizon> you can change the icons by urself :)
[16:31] <Wizard> yes, I can, of course
[16:31] <Wizard> and for me it is not a big deal, it is just funny
[16:31] <Wizard> and in my opinion such details *do* matter
[17:02] <Guest74459> howdy just made the jump from kde :-)
[17:03] <Wizard> Guest74459, hi
[17:03] <Wizard> from kde to what? to xfce?
[17:03] <Guest74459> yes
[17:04] <Guest74459> will take some getting use to i think
[17:04] <Guest74459> but i like it
[17:05] <Wizard> Guest74459, I like it too
[17:07] <Guest74459> a lot faster for sure
[17:08] <Wizard> and less ram hungry
[17:08] <Wizard> I also find gtk themes more pleasing
[17:08] <Guest74459> miss a few kde apps at the moment so will spend some time looking for replacements
[17:09] <Guest74459> yes, i use gnucash a lot & in kde it is not as good
[17:10] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to hear what's plugged into my mic jack (on a laptop)  I feel like there's something stupid I'm missing.  Is there some trick?
[17:10] <Guest74459> i was spoilt with k3b it's a good app but have learned how to burn video dvds from terminal using growisofs
[17:12] <Wizard> :D
[17:12] <Wizard> Guest74459, brasero is ok
[17:13] <Guest74459> craigbass, use mixer
[17:13] <Wizard> :D
[17:14] <Wizard> Guest74459, you can also use xfburn!
[17:14] <Guest74459> xfburn will not burn video dvds i don't think?
[17:14] <Wizard> I'm not sure
[17:15] <holstein> craigbass1976: try installing pavucontrol
[17:15] <Guest74459> i'm sure it won't burn discs playable in a dvd player
[17:16] <holstein> Guest74459: i have used brasero to burn DVD's that i have played in a DVD player
[17:16] <craigbass1976> Hitting M on the proper channel in alsamixer does it.    I did the same thing a couple months ago with this laptop and Fedora...
[17:16] <Guest74459> $ growisofs -dvd-video -udf -Z /dev/dvd ~/MOVIE_NAME works just fine :-)
[17:17] <Guest74459> thanks holstein, i have used brasero before, a few years ago when i used gnome
[17:17] <Guest74459> yes it does do dvd discs
[17:17] <Guest74459> i was referring to xfburn, sorry
[17:17] <knome> all this reminds me, should master a dvd...
[17:18] <knome> or actually, a few
[17:18] <Guest74459> :) sorry if i've reminded you have work to do
[17:18] <knome> nah, it's okay. it's nothing with a deadline
[17:20] <Guest74459> i was wondering, how reliable is the upgrade between xubuntu versions when there's a new release? I already read how to do it, just wondered how reliable it was?
[17:21] <knome> Guest74459, usually, it works fine, but please take backups
[17:21] <Guest74459> i've used linux for a while, just not ubuntu
[17:21] <martinphone> 4 days to go, right?
[17:21] <martinphone> official release
[17:22] <Guest74459> yes, backups always !
[17:22] <Guest74459> thanks
[17:22] <Guest74459> 4 days? really?
[17:22] <Guest74459> not long to find out then
[17:23] <knome> martinphone, yes.
[17:24] <Guest74459> i will give it a few days to see if there are any issues before upgrading os, i learned that the hard way
[17:24] <martinphone> a... ok
[17:24] <Wizard> I found having /home on separate partition
[17:24] <knome> Guest74459, if you're not in a rush, wait for 12.04.1 :)
[17:24] <Wizard> :D
[17:24] <Guest74459> debian lenny to squeeze did not go well for me
[17:25] <Guest74459> :) i tend to give it a few days that's all
[17:25] <martinphone> the limits for ram GB depend on software alone or are there hardware limitations too?
[17:26] <Guest74459> i just moved from a rolling release, i am not scared when things go wrong, i just have less time to fix them now, hence xubuntu
[17:27] <Guest74459> no hardware limitations here
[17:29] <craigbass1976> holstein, pavucontrol is already installed, and it doesn't affect sound at all.  Now that I've gone in and moved faders in alsamixer, the GUI mixers don't work.  Mhe?
[17:31] <Guest74459> gotta go folks, cya
[18:15] <martinphone> why cant chromium launch proxy settings with xubuntu 12.04?
[18:15] <martinphone> proxy settings for all the machine, not just for a particular web browser

[18:38] <snaky90> HI
[18:39] <Wizard> hi snaky90
[18:40] <snaky90> Hi Wizard
[18:44] <snaky90> I have a question about xubuntu (xfce)
[18:45] <snaky90> How I can do that all applications are minimized in the tray?
[18:45] <knome> snaky90, you can add the "show desktop" applet in the panel
[18:46] <snaky90> Thanks, but I do not mean that
[18:46] <snaky90> I mean, are minimized with a small icon in the notification area
[18:47] <knome> i don't think that's possible
[18:47] <snaky90> For example, pidgin
[18:47] <snaky90> ok knome
[18:48] <snaky90> thanks
[18:48] <knome> np
[18:51] <snaky90> I find an app "alltray"
[18:51] <snaky90> now
[18:51] <snaky90> It seems that what is to minimize apps in the notification area
[18:51] <snaky90> I'll try it
[18:52] <knome> good luck
[18:57] <mongy> been playin around with cairo dock, and I'm impressed with the ability to completely ditch the panel once and for all.  thing is, how do I remove the 1 and only panel I have?  apart from making transparent which is not a solution in my book
[18:59] <knome> mongy, don't run xfce4-panel ;)
[19:00] <xubuntu867> hello
[19:00] <knome> hullo
[19:01] <xubuntu867> my first time using xubuntu.... can I set "focus follows mouse" ?
[19:01] <xubuntu867> googling implies that it is available - but there's no option in my Window Manager Tweaks
[19:02] <xubuntu867> i'm using 12.04 beta 2
[19:02] <mongy> knome: where do I set it not to run?
[19:03] <knome> xubuntu867, see the "Window Manager" -section in settings manager, tab "Focus"
[19:03] <knome> mongy, see the "Session and Startup" -section, tab "Session"
[19:03] <knome> mongy, you should be able to change "Restart style" to "Never"
[19:04] <knome> mongy, and then probably quit program and save session...
[19:04] <xubuntu867> knome: thanks! I was looking at the wrong config app (Tweaks, instead of "Window Manager" - doh!)
[19:04] <knome> np
[19:07] <mongy> knome: ah.  a section I never really looked at before. nice
[19:13] <Wizard> hmm.. seems xfce settings need some redesign
[19:13] <Wizard> I'll wait for 4.10 release
[19:15] <GridCube> knome, youre in fire today :D
[19:15] <Wizard> :]
[19:15] <xubuntu867> does anyone know how to disable the user list in gdm? i used to be able to do this:
[19:15] <knome> GridCube, always ;)
[19:16] <xubuntu867> udo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type bool --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true
[19:16] <xubuntu867> but it doesn't seem to work any more
[19:16] <GridCube> xubuntu867, thats because we dont use gdm anymore
[19:16] <GridCube> we use lightdm
[19:16] <xubuntu867> aha!
[19:16] <GridCube> if you dont want to see the user list you need to edit a file
[19:16] <GridCube> let me find it
[19:17] <xubuntu867> is this it? http://www.puppychau.com/archives/130
[19:18] <GridCube> nope
[19:18] <GridCube> http://askubuntu.com/questions/51086/how-do-i-enable-auto-login-in-lightdm
[19:18] <GridCube> this
[19:18] <GridCube> the second answer the one about editing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[19:19] <xubuntu867> GridCube: thanks! (actually, I don't want to autologin - just to disable the user list and require the username to be typed - but you've put me on the right path!)
[19:20] <GridCube> oh okay :)
[19:31] <bepebe> hey, I am really struggling to get any sound output from my speakers. Can anybody help me?
[19:33] <GridCube> bepebe, try configuring your output with pavucontrol
[19:34] <bepebe> Thanks GridCube, I have been using PulseAudio Mixer with no such joy, will give that a try instead though.
[19:35] <bepebe> GridCube, turns out my sound output needed to be set as fallback? Not sure, but it is working now, thanks!
[19:36] <GridCube> np
[19:51] <xubuntu565> Hello Xubuntu IRC :D
[19:52] <knome> hullo
[19:53] <xubuntu565> I have login problems with the login session in my Xubuntu
[19:53] <xubuntu565> could you guys please help out a newbie?
[19:53] <xrandr_laptop> xubuntu565: what seems to be the issue?
[19:53] <xubuntu565> whenever I try to login, the login sesion would black screen for a while
[19:54] <xubuntu565> could barely read what error it was (seems like some kind of error)
[19:54] <xubuntu565> then return to the login screen
[19:54] <xubuntu565> Guest account is fine though
[19:54] <xubuntu565> just my own account
[19:54] <xrandr_laptop> xubuntu565: have you checked /var/log/messages ?
[19:54] <xubuntu565> which is passworded too
[19:54] <martinphone> where do I find proxy controls in xubuntu?
[19:54] <martinphone> they are not in network
[19:55] <xubuntu565> hmm......let me try if I remember the commands in terminal
[19:55] <xrandr_laptop> xubuntu565: tail -f /var/log/messages
[19:56] <xrandr_laptop> xubuntu565: you might also try backing up your files, deleting the user account, then readding it
[19:58] <xubuntu565> no such file or directory
[20:00] <xubuntu565> if I were to back up my files, is there a way to access it easily, as it is passworded?
[20:02] <xrandr_laptop> xubuntu565: i would sudo su -   in terminal, back up the files (Unless they're encrypted), then delete the user account and re-add. Put the backed up files into the new user's home dir and chown <newuser> <backup files>
[20:04] <xubuntu565> and if the files to be backed-up are encrypted?
[20:05] <xrandr_laptop> xubuntu565: not sure what to do there
[20:06] <mongy> depends how you encrypted them
[20:06] <mongy> you should know if they are encrypted, you made the account.
[20:13] <xubuntu565> mongy: it is encrypted, and I think I might have made a stupid mistake of forgetting to put the recovery code somewhere else
[20:19] <mongy> xubuntu565: if it's encrypted with ecryptfs then you can recover it using root/sudo
[20:19] <mongy> man ecryptfs-recover-private
[20:20] <xubuntu565> I'll give that one a try now
[20:20] <mongy> xubuntu565: it mounts it to /tmp I think
[20:57] <xubuntu565> thanks for the help, although I still haven't figured out how to move out my data
[22:03] <|Dove|> Hi
[22:03] <|Dove|> Xubuntu or Kubuntu :?
[22:03] <|Dove|> I tried both
[22:21] <knome> |Dove|, use what fits you better
[23:53] <NSP> there is other way in xubuntu to sharefolders without configuring smb.conf  manual ?


[00:47] <ubuntu-mate> Hello all
[00:50] <ubuntu-mate> Ive seem to have a problem with Ubuntu Mate 1604, When i am using the live version on a usb stick theres no problem, but when I reboot i get the black screan with a flashing curser or dash
[00:52] <ouroumov> hi ubuntu-mate
[00:52] <ubuntu-mate> Hello
[00:53] <ubuntu-mate> how are you?
[00:53] <ouroumov> Doing good, are you using the live now ubuntu-mate ?
[00:54] <ubuntu-mate> yes I formated my hard drive
[00:54] <ubuntu-mate> havnt installed yet
[00:54] <ubuntu-mate> was worried i would get a bl;ack screen again
[00:55] <ouroumov> ubuntu-mate, but you had installed it once before right?
[00:55] <ubuntu-mate> yes earlier today
[00:56] <ouroumov> ubuntu-mate, maybe we can help you out of the black screen business, but the OS needs to be installed first.
[00:56] <ubuntu-mate> but when i install it...and reboot it goes black
[00:56] <ubuntu-mate> how can I do anything to it?
[00:57] <ouroumov> There are ways. First you can try setting a kernel boot parameter when you boot up using the bootloader interface.
[00:58] <ubuntu-mate> whaaaa not sure what that is at all
[00:58] <ubuntu-mate> sorry
[00:58] <ouroumov> You can also switch to a text terminal using the keys CTRL+ALT+F1, log in, and make the parameter permanent
[00:59] <ubuntu-mate> I have used linux before but am not command savy at all
[00:59] <ouroumov> hang on ubuntu-mate I'm gonna reboot a machine cause I don't remember the sequence
[00:59] <ubuntu-mate> ok
[01:00] <ouroumov> aw crap by grub was unresponsive
[01:00] <ouroumov> gonna try again
[01:00] <ubuntu-mate> sorry
[01:00] <ubuntu-mate> ok
[01:03] <ouroumov> Yeah it's not working for me so I can't be sure of the steps but basically it should be like that:
[01:04] <ouroumov> You install the OS to the drive, then you reboot. When the machine is booting again, hold the shift key down to access the grub menu
[01:04] <ubuntu-mate> ok
[01:04] <ouroumov> Then I think you've gotta type "e" for the edit options, and find the "nomodeset" parameter
[01:04] <ubuntu-mate> ok
[01:05] <ouroumov> If you don't find it, or your grub is like mine and does not work, you're gonna have to go to your black screen, then type CTRL+ALT+F1
[01:05] <ouroumov> That'll bring you to a text-only interface
[01:05] <ouroumov> you type your username, and then your password
[01:05] <ubuntu-mate> ok
[01:05] <ouroumov> When you type your password your characters won't be echoed back to you as star, but keep typing them and then type enter.
[01:06] <ubuntu-mate> ok cool
[01:06] <ouroumov> Once you've successfully logged in, you'll see a prompt like "username@machine:~/$"
[01:06] <ubuntu-mate> yes
[01:06] <ouroumov> you'll need to type the command to open a text editor: sudo nano /etc/default/grub
[01:07] <ubuntu-mate> ok
[01:07] <ouroumov> navigate to the line that says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[01:07] <ubuntu-mate> ok
[01:07] <ouroumov> and add in the parameter "nomodeset" so it becomes: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
[01:07] <ouroumov> then, save your changes by typing CTRL+X, then "y" then enter
[01:08] <ubuntu-mate> gotchya
[01:08] <ouroumov> Next, back at your prompt, type the command: sudo update-grub
[01:08] <ouroumov> then sudo reboot
[01:08] <ubuntu-mate> ok
[01:08] <ouroumov> and hopefully, you'll have corrected the black screen issue
[01:09] <ubuntu-mate> I did try something like that earlier...but i might have typed it in wrong
[01:09] <ouroumov> You can always come back here using the live cd or using another machine and the web client on the Ubuntu MATE website
[01:09] <ubuntu-mate> ok
[01:09] <ubuntu-mate> can i print all the instructions from here?
[01:09] <ubuntu-mate> that you gave me
[01:11] <ouroumov> ubuntu-mate, you can note this url: https://paste.ubuntu.com/16470116/
[01:12] <ubuntu-mate> oh wow cool thanks
[01:12] <ouroumov> yw
[01:12] <ubuntu-mate> ok Im off to try and install again
[01:12] <ouroumov> good luck
[01:12] <ubuntu-mate> thank you very much for your help, you have a great evening
[01:13] <ouroumov> thanks, it's 3AM here xD
[01:14] <ubuntu-mate> good thing your a night owel or Id be up the creek with no paddle...lmao...are you in the UK?
[01:14] <ouroumov> France
[01:14] <ubuntu-mate> same time zone right?
[01:14] <ouroumov> yes
[01:15] <ubuntu-mate> Im just outside Toronto Canada....Ill be in London UK in a month
[01:15] <ouroumov> I thought I detected a hint of politeness there. xD
[01:16] <ubuntu-mate> hahahahah you should have heard the swear words earlier when this sys went black lmao
[01:16] <ouroumov> ^^
[01:17] <ubuntu-mate> ok well I wont hold you up too late....thank you very much again and salute
[01:17] <ouroumov> bye
[02:18] <Gallomimia> ah yes, the troubling re-installs
[02:18] <Gallomimia> i had that problem a few times...
[02:20] <ouroumov> hm
[02:38] <fifty-sevenC> I've heard some filesystems have issues if they aren't wiped before a reinstall.
[02:40] <TheMarius> hmmm ... volume control bug seem to happen when i launch an app like VLC
[02:40] <TheMarius> then volume control go into mongo mode... nothing works
[02:40] <fifty-sevenC> What volume control bug?
[02:40] <TheMarius> one ive had since i installed ubuntu mate
[02:41] <fifty-sevenC> Tell me what it is
[02:41] <TheMarius> its in indicator miniprogram 1.12.1
[02:42] <fifty-sevenC> That does not tell me the problem. What is mongo mode?
[02:42] <TheMarius> as in, it stops working ... closed apps are still there
[02:42] <TheMarius> but click anything in the list, nothing happens
[02:44] <fifty-sevenC> ok one minute
[02:44] <ouroumov> Not seeing it in the bug list: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate/
[02:44] <TheMarius> right
[02:44] <TheMarius> so do any of you notice this problem?
[02:44] <fifty-sevenC> I'm looking for the indicator app
[02:45] <TheMarius> i got issues running steam games too but thats obiosly since i have an ATI 5870 card.. not related to this
[02:46] <fifty-sevenC> mate-indicator-applet ?
[02:47] <TheMarius> guess thats it.. i use .no ubuntu
[02:47] <ouroumov> TheMarius, sorry I can't reproduce, I think it's because I upgraded my distro from 16.04 Beta2 that some stuff are locked on my machine
[02:47] <ouroumov> hang on, I found a way around
[02:47] <TheMarius> hmm
[02:48] <ouroumov> So TheMarius, I've got the applet sound menu now, what do I do?
[02:48] <TheMarius> fire up a few apps... idk.. spotify etc
[02:48] <ouroumov> I can apparently stop VLC playing music using that menu
[02:48] <TheMarius> something that plays
[02:48] <fifty-sevenC> So, do youmean the little popups that tell you what track is playing?
[02:48] <TheMarius> works?
[02:48] <ouroumov> I've got VLC, clementine and SMPlayer referenced in the menu
[02:48] <TheMarius> let it run for a while then
[02:49] <ouroumov> okay
[02:49] <TheMarius> see if it stops
[02:49] <TheMarius> it does here
[02:49] <fifty-sevenC> Oh you mean you want music to stop when you close an audio program?
[02:49] <TheMarius> works for a day or two
[02:49] <TheMarius> no
[02:49] <TheMarius> the indicator app stops working.. only works again if i remove it from the panel and reboot
[02:49] <fifty-sevenC> try opening a terminal
[02:50] <TheMarius> yep
[02:50] <fifty-sevenC> pkill mate-panel -signal 11
[02:50] <fifty-sevenC> that should restart mate-panel without needing tgo reboot
[02:50] <fifty-sevenC> ussually*
[02:50] <fifty-sevenC> sometimes it won't restart
[02:51] <fifty-sevenC> if it doesn't sudo restart
[02:51] <TheMarius> invalid session id: ignal <-- ?
[02:51] <fifty-sevenC> pkill mate-panel --signal 11
[02:52] <TheMarius> k... but didnt fix it
[02:52] <fifty-sevenC> Did the panel restart?
[02:52] <TheMarius> yeah but problem is still there
[02:52] <ouroumov> Still playing here
[02:53] <TheMarius> way i did it was remove the indicator app from the panel.. readded it.. run your command .. now its a "dead square" there instead of volume control
[02:53] <ouroumov> Still reactive too from the menu
[02:53] <TheMarius> same as i get if i just remove indicator app from panel and readd it
[02:53] <ouroumov> You're using 16.04 TheMarius ?
[02:53] <TheMarius> dead square is the volume control.. all other apps in the indicator panel works
[02:53] <TheMarius> yep
[02:54] <fifty-sevenC> Hmm
[02:54] <ouroumov> TheMarius, you can post about it on the forums or file a bug report, but I'm not sure what exact package would be responsible for that
[02:54] <fifty-sevenC> I'm pretty sure mate-panel is what runs the indicators
[02:54] <fifty-sevenC> lets see if reinstalling the packages helps
[02:55] <TheMarius> just got a crash
[02:55] <TheMarius> in /usr/bin/mate-panel
[02:55] <fifty-sevenC> The crash is just the reporter seeing in the log mate-panel was restarted. Don't worry about it.
[02:55] <TheMarius> ok
[02:56] <fifty-sevenC> Anytime you restart a desktop service it will think it crashed
[02:56] <TheMarius> interesting
[02:56] <TheMarius> variety doesnt work either now
[02:56] <TheMarius> havent had that before
[02:59] <fifty-sevenC> sudo apt-get install --reinstall mate-panel mate-indicator-applet mate-indicator-applet-common
[02:59] <fifty-sevenC> That might fix it, you will need to reboot after doing that
[02:59] <fifty-sevenC> But I never heard of the problem you're having.
[03:00] <TheMarius> ok .. one more bug .. it wont reboot
[03:00] <TheMarius> it shuts off the themes
[03:00] <TheMarius> but no reboot .. when i choose reboot from the panel
[03:00] <TheMarius> ran it... ill do a reboot now
[03:00] <TheMarius> brb!
[03:03] <TheMarius> back
[03:03] <fifty-sevenC> That is the theme manager being stupid. A known bug. It will reboot just takes a minute. To reboot faster just open a terminal and sudo reboot
[03:03] <TheMarius> ahh ok
[03:04] <fifty-sevenC> just fyi, if you sudo reboot it will come down immediately so it won't try to be friendsly with your apps and save your work or anything.
[03:04] <TheMarius> heh
[03:04] <TheMarius> well .. indicator seems fine now
[03:05] <fifty-sevenC> Well then, it might have just been a corrupted file somewhere. :)
[03:05] <TheMarius> but i did the same as i usually do to fix it.. reboot
[03:05] <TheMarius> so i wont know until ive been running it a while
[03:05] <TheMarius> maybe ..  ill keep you updated
[03:05] <fifty-sevenC> Alright
[03:06] <fifty-sevenC> You said you were having trouble with steam games?
[03:06] <TheMarius> yep
[03:06] <TheMarius> dota 2 etc wont start
[03:06] <TheMarius> team fortress 2 starts fine though
[03:06] <fifty-sevenC> any error output?
[03:06] <TheMarius> no
[03:06] <TheMarius> but when i launch steam i get a terminal message that i need to install latest version, press enter
[03:07] <Gallomimia> steam game? ask steam to verify the integrity of game cache
[03:07] <fifty-sevenC> Everytime?
[03:07] <Gallomimia> TheMarius: i been getting that too. it's nearly every time
[03:07] <TheMarius> i start it and nothing happens.. in some games i get a startup screen and it just freeze up, and if im lucky ill have it as a shadow on my desktop that wont go away
[03:07] <fifty-sevenC> I've noticed a lot of games that advertise support for linux are really "Here you go, no promises if it works"
[03:07] <Gallomimia> really??
[03:07] <Gallomimia> i haven't had a single problem
[03:08] <Gallomimia> er, except with payday2
[03:08] <TheMarius> everytime on dota 2.. others are steam etc.. just no reaction at all when i try to start it
[03:08] <TheMarius> but as i said, i have an ATI card
[03:08] <fifty-sevenC> Anything made with Unity that advertises linux support is "Fire and forget" and the devs have no idea how to troubleshoot it.
[03:08] <TheMarius> 5870 .. old one
[03:08] <Gallomimia> oh yeah
[03:08] <fifty-sevenC> Ok, steam has a little bug
[03:08] <Gallomimia> ati + linux = linux plus graphics card in the garbage
[03:08] <Gallomimia> so, yeah. just linux
[03:08] <TheMarius> we'll see.. new driver coming later this summer they say
[03:09] <fifty-sevenC> Wait a minute
[03:09] <Gallomimia> i threw mine out. seriously
[03:09] <fifty-sevenC> I am looking for the doc on the steam bug
[03:09] <fifty-sevenC> http://askubuntu.com/questions/689598/steam-wont-open-in-ubuntu-15-10
[03:09] <fifty-sevenC> Everytime steam updates I have to run the commands listed on that article.
[03:09] <fifty-sevenC> Then steam works fine
[03:10] <Gallomimia> you run 15-10?
[03:10] <TheMarius> either way, nvidia gtx 1080 out soon ... which means a bunch of kids will sell theyre old nvidia graphics card, so i might get a bargain on a better used one
[03:10] <fifty-sevenC> 16.04
[03:10] <Gallomimia> yeah that'd be cool
[03:10] <fifty-sevenC> But it has been a known problem for years
[03:10] <fifty-sevenC> Steam only targets SteamOS. It working on Ubuntu is incidental
[03:10] <TheMarius> if i had known this when i bought this card back in 2010 or so, i doubt id go ATI
[03:10] <TheMarius> they should indeed be boycotted
[03:11] <TheMarius> until they make descent linux drivers
[03:11] <fifty-sevenC> I have an HD4670 1GB and it works fine. Just old and no current driver support
[03:12] <ouroumov> TheMarius, it's the plan for them
[03:12] <fifty-sevenC> The problem is since there is no new driver support we are stuck with drivers that don't get any benefit from the current range of hacks that make AMD cards run well on Linux
[03:12] <TheMarius> well being able to game is some of the fun having a computer... idk what works well with an old 955 x4 3.2ghz amd processor but i wont waste $600 on a nvidia 1080 for sure on this rig
[03:12] <TheMarius> cpu would be too much of a bottleneck
[03:12] <ouroumov> AMD are going full on the open source route
[03:12] <TheMarius> but getting a cheaper nvidia used is an idea
[03:12] <fifty-sevenC> I wouldn't trust Nvidia much either
[03:13] <fifty-sevenC> A new currently supported card I think AMD is likely to work better.
[03:13] <ouroumov> nvidia prices for good mid-range hardware are sure to take a nosedive with the upcoming 1080 launch
[03:13] <TheMarius> thing is this old computer works fine .. think i bought it in 2008 and it does what i need
[03:13] <fifty-sevenC> Anyways, I am trying to sell my desktop with Win10 on it so I can build the exact same thing again but with VT-d/IOMMU support
[03:13] <TheMarius> speed is more than enough for anything i want to do except edit 4k video and play new games
[03:14] <TheMarius> but until 4k is the standard i doubt ill bother doing anything with this setuop
[03:14] <TheMarius> setup
[03:14] <ouroumov> hey TheMarius, my indicator applet just crashed
[03:14] <TheMarius> and thats still a few years ahead
[03:14] <TheMarius> ouroumov, same problem i have?
[03:14] <ouroumov> Not exactly
[03:15] <TheMarius> why didnt you have it by default btw?
[03:15] <ouroumov> As in, it relaunched fine and I can use it to stop playback again
[03:15] <TheMarius> ok
[03:15] <ouroumov> TheMarius, because I don't need it, I'm not a fine of programs not dying when I tell them to close
[03:15] <ouroumov> a fan *
[03:15] <fifty-sevenC> With VT-D/IOMMU support you can run Windows in a VM and give it direct hardware access. So you can play all the games at full speed but still have the main OS be linux.
[03:16] <TheMarius> thats sweet
[03:16] <TheMarius> linux should be main os
[03:17] <TheMarius> so you have a secure base
[03:17] <fifty-sevenC> Yeah the indicator confused the crap out of me too way back when.
[03:17] <fifty-sevenC> Start playing a mp3, get tired of it and close the app but it kept playing.
[03:17] <ouroumov> yeah
[03:17] <ouroumov> It's awful.
[03:17] <TheMarius> so its normal its buggy?
[03:18] <ouroumov> TheMarius, no
[03:18] <ouroumov> You should report your problem on the forum or on launchpad
[03:18] <TheMarius> im going to wait and see if reinstall solved it
[03:18] <fifty-sevenC> Wierd
[03:19] <fifty-sevenC> I never noticed I didn't have the right volume indicator
[03:19] <ouroumov> fifty-sevenC, it's not the default one I think
[03:19] <Gallomimia> i run linux so i can have a secure/stable base, but with my ati card, if any program made the wrong call to the gpu, it crashed X
[03:20] <Gallomimia> all programs started after i type my password were terminated.
[03:20] <Gallomimia> so, that had to go :/
[03:20] <fifty-sevenC> ouroumov, that is even worse then if the default indicator doesn't support playing in the background but the other indicator does
[03:22] <Gallomimia> here's hoping new drivers make it better. mine was a factory overclocked older model gpu on a newer card, so it had a bunch of manufacturer added stuff and needed proprietary drivers from the card maker, not ati. which were windows only of course
[03:23] <ouroumov> I don't think so fifty-sevenC
[03:23] <TheMarius> Gallomimia, that sucks, i guess thats why youre having problems
[03:23] <ouroumov> I'm quite content with the default indicator doing just the obvious: indicate, and control global volume
[03:23] <fifty-sevenC> Well music plays in the background with no way to stop it without reopening the app or having the other volume indicator
[03:24] <Gallomimia> TheMarius: not anymore. i gave that card away, and picked up an nvidia
[03:24] <TheMarius> ok
[03:24] <fifty-sevenC> My windows 10 box has Bestcrypt on it. You can't trust the built in windows full disk encryption since they admittted to having backdoors for police years ago
[03:24] <fifty-sevenC> So my Windows is secure, but using it is way to annoying
[03:24] <ouroumov> bestcrypt?
[03:25] <fifty-sevenC> besycrypt is made by a Finnish company called Jetico
[03:25] <ouroumov> if it's something running in windows it can't be secure
[03:25] <fifty-sevenC> $100 per year
[03:25] <fifty-sevenC> My most favorite thing ever is playing CS:GO and windows being like "Hey we scheduled a time for a reboot being RIGHT NOW because it looks like you're not using your computer"
[03:25] <fifty-sevenC> and get a timeout penalty for being forced to abandon a competitive match
[03:26] <ouroumov> haha
[03:26] <ouroumov> You sound like that dude on twitch the other day
[03:26] <ouroumov> At the end of a 9Hours long match
[03:26] <fifty-sevenC> It has happened to everyone.
[03:26] <fifty-sevenC> Happened to me multiple times actually. Not just in games but also lose my work
[03:27] <fifty-sevenC> I wish I never upgraded from windows 8.1 on my desktop. WIndows 10 is a a total CF.
[03:27] <TheMarius> lol my ati 5870 is still up there with nvidia gtx 660 ti etc
[03:27] <TheMarius> and people sell those still for a fair ammount of cash
[03:28] <TheMarius> actually beats it in most areas
[03:28] <fifty-sevenC> You would be surprised how many cards are just rebadges.
[03:28] <TheMarius> seems like things kind of haulted around 2010 or so
[03:28] <TheMarius> havent happened much since then
[03:28] <fifty-sevenC> the 5870 has been rebadged a few times. But even though they still sell them under a different name they don't support them in drivers anymore.
[03:28] <TheMarius> a 8 year old computer used to be a fossil back in the days... mine is still hanging on there
[03:29] <fifty-sevenC> But the 5870 is still fast because it doesn't support all the new features since then
[03:29] <TheMarius> wonder if this new driver applies to it
[03:29] <TheMarius> from amd
[03:29] <fifty-sevenC> http://www.jetico.com/products/personal-privacy/bestcrypt-volume-encryption
[03:30] <fifty-sevenC> There is the product I use. The only one I ever seen support secureboot and EUFI
[03:30] <TheMarius> veracrypt should do the trick
[03:30] <TheMarius> and its free
[03:30] <fifty-sevenC> Veracrypt does not support EUFI or secureboot
[03:30] <TheMarius> k
[03:31] <fifty-sevenC> trust me, I researched veracrypt before shelling out $100 for a 1 year license. lol
[03:31] <TheMarius> i dont bother encrypting anything
[03:32] <TheMarius> nothing i have worth stealing
[03:33] <fifty-sevenC> Anyways Bestcrypt promises no backdoors ever, and they have been security audited by the US Government to get their contracts. So I trust it. I don't thin kveracrypt has ever been audited.
[03:34] <fifty-sevenC> ie, US Government doesn't trust MS full disk encryption but does trust Jetico. :)
[03:35] <TheMarius> http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-kills-off-support-for-pre-gcn-line/ <- ha i knew it ... guess im moving over to nvidia when 1080 ti comes out full force and prices on older cards plunge
[03:35] <ouroumov> I can't wait for the EU lawsuit against MS over the W10 bullshit
[03:37] <Gallomimia> crypto is a topic i want to talk about
[03:38] <Gallomimia> oh. pay-for encryption? as in.... not open source?
[03:38] <Gallomimia> terrible
[03:39] <fifty-sevenC> Open source doesn't matter if no one looks at it
[03:40] <TheMarius> i do
[03:40] <TheMarius> but thanks to software piracy few bother
[03:40] <fifty-sevenC> There have been a lot of terrible open source crypto libraries and apps
[03:41] <fifty-sevenC> http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5938
[03:42] <alan_> Hola
[03:42] <fifty-sevenC> So yeah, you get the source when buy it
[03:42] <fifty-sevenC> http://www.jetico.com/download
[03:42] <fifty-sevenC> click encryption -> linux
[03:42] <fifty-sevenC> Gives you a tar file
[03:42] <fifty-sevenC> Hi alan
[03:45] <fifty-sevenC> Anyways, I remember when AMD said they were dropping support for my 4670. Said they were just making updates twice a year instead of every month. Then immediately made no updates ever.
[03:45] <Gallomimia> of course open source can be terrible. but you always have the problem of needing to find out from other software devs how well the software work
[03:46] <fifty-sevenC> Gallomimia, the problem isn't of software devs but actual cryptographers looking at it. Which the US government has a lot of.
[03:46] <Gallomimia> a subject i want to know much more about yes
[03:47] <fifty-sevenC> Well hit up your local bookstore and get some books on codebreaking
[03:47] <ouroumov> 57c, for how long though? US Gov is in full on war-on-crypto mode nowadays
[03:47] <Gallomimia> yep
[03:48] <fifty-sevenC> ouroumov, that is just the FBI being retarded.  SO the FBI can't and won't ever get its way. These things go in cycles.
[03:49] <ouroumov> No crypto = no internet
[03:49] <ouroumov> Sysadmins everywhere use SSH to administer the infrastructure
[03:49] <fifty-sevenC> The FBI will go "Think of the children!", be told where to mail itself and in 20 years be at it again after everyone had retired from the last fiasco
[03:51] <fifty-sevenC> ouroumov, think of all the servers that could be thrown away due to lack of need for them. Can't have user logins, stores, etc. Just static web pages. We could fit the whole internet on one server then! lol
[03:51] <fifty-sevenC> Who needs SSH then? lol
[03:52] <ouroumov> sure
[03:52] <fifty-sevenC> 1999 era internet again.
[03:52] <ouroumov> actually, all the US part of the internet :)
[03:53] <ouroumov> Other countries won't follow suit. US would shoot itself in the foot.
[03:53] <fifty-sevenC> The US part also controls the global naming system and the vast majority of the base of the trust chains
[03:54] <fifty-sevenC> no chain of trust to resolve too == no encryption.
[03:55] <ouroumov> Yeah but once the US is as relevant as a small farmer's village, this will be a minor problem for the other countries to solve
[04:01] <fifty-sevenC> I'm not saying new chains of trust couldn't be made, but that it would be an immediate world wide impact affecting the entire internet and making new cains of trust takes time.
[04:01] <qumbaala> r_L to open menu...any suggestions?
[04:01] <ouroumov> hi qumbaala
[04:01] <fifty-sevenC> r_l what?
[04:01] <qumbaala> Hey, I cant seem to get Super_L to open menu, any suggestions/
[04:01] <ouroumov> qumbaala, please be more verbose in the way you describe your issue
[04:01] <ouroumov> okay
[04:02] <qumbaala> Sorry, first half of the message got cut off :D
[04:02] <ouroumov> Was Super+L always a thing?
[04:02] <ouroumov> It's not a shortcut I have
[04:02] <fifty-sevenC> Yeah that isn't a thing by default
[04:03] <grey__> hi where can I uninstall firefox
[04:03] <ouroumov> qumbaala, what menu are you talking about, the global menu?
[04:03] <fifty-sevenC> You can add the shortcut yourself in the Keyboard Shortcuts menu
[04:03] <ouroumov> hi grey__
[04:03] <qumbaala> No, its not!  Yes the global menu.
[04:03] <qumbaala> I've tried changing it to Super_L

[04:03] <ouroumov> Yeah
[04:03] <ouroumov> the windows key
[04:04] <ouroumov> grey__, open a terminal and type in: sudo apt remove firefox
[04:04] <grey__> software boutique support uninstall right?
[04:04] <grey__> oh so I have to do it in terminal
[04:04] <ouroumov> It will tell you to remove mate-desktop or whatever but according to the forum it's just meta-packages that are safe to remove grey__
[04:04] <ouroumov> grey__, well I don't think firefox, being a core application, is listed in the boutique
[04:04] <ouroumov> I could be wrong
[04:05] <grey__> oh my bad. thank you ouroumov
[04:05] <ouroumov> yw
[04:08] <fifty-sevenC> I leave firefox installed. You never know if you might need it
[04:08] <fifty-sevenC> and it is a trivial amount of disk space
[04:09] <ouroumov> fifty-sevenC, yes but it's often updated and that's not a trivial amount of bandwidth
[04:09] <ouroumov> (for some people)
[04:09] <grey__> I dont use firefox, yeah a good browser but I love chrome
[04:13] <Nosophorus> hello, guys
[04:13] <ouroumov> sup Nosophorus
[04:14] <HetroErectus> <- themarius back on windows machine
[04:16] <fifty-sevenC> Hi
[04:18] <HetroErectus> my trusty old surface pro 3
[04:20] <HetroErectus> looking at benchmarks
[04:20] <HetroErectus> i was right reg my cpu ... 955 x4 3.2ghz amd is still a descent processor
[04:20] <HetroErectus> 8 years after i bought it
[04:20] <HetroErectus> LOL
[04:21] <HetroErectus> performance like i3 and some of the lower end i5s
[04:21] <HetroErectus> id have to go i7 to enter into new territory regarding cpu use.. such as 4k video editing etc
[04:21] <HetroErectus> so makes sense to wait with upgrading anything to 4k is standard
[04:22] <fifty-sevenC> My desktop has an i3 with hyperthreading in it
[04:22] <HetroErectus> however.. here in farmville we still have 3mbit line so that'll wait to fiber gets here
[04:23] <HetroErectus> yeah it works fine
[04:24] <HetroErectus> and i have a playstation 4 to run battlefield so
[04:24] <HetroErectus> upgrading is still out..i was considering it but nope
[04:27] <fifty-sevenC> I am hoping to build a really cheap server soon to build a docker swarm on
[04:31] <fifty-sevenC> That would be so much fun.
[04:40] <gemini__> hi
[04:41] <ouroumov> hi gemini__

[07:09] <YankDownUnder> ouroumov, Evening (or morning)...have earlier this afternoon found "mate-panel" consuming 86% of my available memory...quite interesting that...(have a screenshot of the window if required)
[07:12] <ouroumov_> Hey YankDownUnder
[07:12] <YankDownUnder> ouroumov_, G'day
[07:12] <ouroumov_> Gday to you
[07:13] <ouroumov_> YankDownUnder, so have you filed a bug report yet?
[07:14] <YankDownUnder> ouroumov_, I shall do that after the "better half" is finished telling me what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and in what fashion to do it. I defer to her judgement in life. Makes things easier.
[07:15] <ouroumov_> So what's she telling you to do right now?
[07:16] <YankDownUnder> SHE is telling me heaps other things as she regards anything to do with IT as an alien universe - if it's outside of FB and chatting, it doesn't truly exist (and email)
[07:25] <ouroumov_> Well this is chatting, of a sort
[07:31] <YankDownUnder> ouroumov_, It's still alien. IRC, regardless of it's age and tenure, does not actually exist in the missus' world...it's a frivolous imagined thing. Like fixing computers. Or "operating systems other than Windows".
[07:32] <ouroumov_> Well
[07:32] <ouroumov_> I know your pain.
[07:33] <ouroumov_> Hang in there.
[07:33] <ouroumov_> I'm off to fetch a cup of joe.
[08:21] <flexiondotorg> Morning
[08:22] <alkisg> Good morning flexiondotorg
[08:26] <flexiondotorg> alkisg, o/
[08:26] <flexiondotorg> Just finishing off some IRC stuff :-)
[08:27] <alkisg> :)
[08:27] <alkisg> flexiondotorg: you may also put the irclogs in the /topic if you like
[08:27] <alkisg> E.g. "channel logs available at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/"
[08:30] <alkisg> !ask
[08:30] <alkisg> Nice, ubottu is working :)
[08:50] <flexiondotorg> alkisg, Turns out my bounder lost some of its configuration :-(
[08:51]  * alkisg was looking at starting to use znc, but was too lazy to configure it :D
[09:24] <BlackPanx> hey guys... i've set LTS in my /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades, currently i run 15.10 version of ubuntu mate, yet do-release-upgrade doesn't show latest 16.04 LTS release to me... anything i can do ?
[09:25] <alkisg> BlackPanx: put "normal" there
[09:25] <alkisg> lts will be "activated" with 16.04.1
[09:25] <BlackPanx> oh
[09:26] <BlackPanx> any eta on that ?
[09:26] <alkisg> There's a wiki page, google for "xenial release schedule"
[09:26] <BlackPanx> i'll check it
[09:26] <BlackPanx> thanks
[09:26] <alkisg>  39     July 21st      PointRelease  Ubuntu 16.04.1
[09:27] <BlackPanx> ouch
[09:27] <BlackPanx> 2 months still
[09:27] <BlackPanx> okay
[09:28] <ouroumov_> uh, arstechnica is down
[09:29] <BlackPanx> thanks for info alksig i'll just update to 16.04 now
[09:36] <nicola> ciao
[09:37] <ouroumov_> hi nicola
[10:13] <ouroumov_> Damn so the channel is publicly logged now
[10:14] <ouroumov_> I'm gonna have to watch my language
[10:15] <flexiondotorg> ouroumov, :-)
[10:37] <ricotz> flexiondotorg, hi
[10:38] <ricotz> flexiondotorg, I assume you are running xenial on a pi2 yourself, did you ran network trouble with systemd 229-4ubuntu5?
[10:39] <flexiondotorg> ricotz, Pi3 currently, with Ubuntu MATE 16.04. No issues other than the recently fixed Network Manager.
[10:40] <ricotz> flexiondotorg, with -proposed pocket?
[10:40] <flexiondotorg> No, without proposed.
[10:40] <ricotz> hmm, I see
[10:40] <ricotz> with 4.4.10?
[10:41] <flexiondotorg> 4.4.10 of what?
[10:41] <ricotz> the kernel
[10:42] <flexiondotorg> No, 4.1.19.
[10:43] <flexiondotorg> The Ubuntu MATE build of 16.04 for the Pi 2/3 use the Raspberry Pi Foundation kernel.
[10:43] <ricotz> oh, this seems quite outdated and vulnerable
[10:44] <ricotz> yeah, and this 4.4.10 is the official build from rpi-update
[10:44] <flexiondotorg> ricotz, Yeah, you can use rpi-update to get the latest.
[10:45] <flexiondotorg> I've not tested that one much though.
[10:45] <flexiondotorg> Mirroring what Raspbian ships.
[10:45] <ricotz> alright, I keep systemd pinned for a bit longer then
[10:46] <ricotz> I would assume raspbian ships something newer by now ;)
[10:47] <ricotz> * Updated firmware and kernel (https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/commit/cc6d7bf8b4c03a2a660ff9fdf4083fc165620866)
[11:47] <mate|21500> hi.i have a question about fan working in ubuntu mate 16.04 with amd gpu.both in windows and ubuntu almost system temp are similar but fan working in ubuntu is more than windows! is it normally?
[11:50] <mate|21500> any answer?
[12:31] <petrolhead_neel> Hi all
[12:31] <petrolhead_neel> Anyone using MATE 16.04 on RPI2?
[12:37] <flexiondotorg> petrolhead_neel, Yes.
[12:37] <petrolhead_neel> @flexiondotorg, which browser are you using?
[12:38] <flexiondotorg> Firefox.
[12:38] <petrolhead_neel> Does it lag on websites like Facebook?
[12:40] <flexiondotorg> Yes, it lags on complex sites, but that is kind of to be expected.
[12:42] <petrolhead_neel> Agreed
[12:42] <flexiondotorg> petrolhead_neel, You might want to install "webbrowser-app oxideqt-codecs-extra"
[12:42] <flexiondotorg> That is the Ubuntu browser for Ubuntu Touch.
[12:42] <flexiondotorg> I've not tested it on the Pi yet, but it is based on Chromium and stripped down.
[12:43] <flexiondotorg> Might be good.
[12:43] <flexiondotorg> Would be interested to hear your thoughts.
[12:43] <petrolhead_neel> BTW, I have  a CM Storm Devastator keyboard anmd whenever I plug in more than one USB drive, that backlight goes off. Power issues, I guess
[12:45] <petrolhead_neel_> I am using 5v Samsung adapter
[12:51] <tv_> hi
[12:51] <tv_> i have problem with fresh player on firefox
[12:51] <tv_> i need some help =)

[15:19] <tv_> i install him with welcome of ubuntu mate
[15:19] <ouroumov_> Sorry but no, I don't have a rpi either so I can't test that for myself

[15:37] <mate|29517> Good morning.  I am looking for information on how to place icons where I want them on the desktop.  I am trying to manage a group of thin clients with puppet and want them all to be placed in the same spot.  Is there a file I can change somewhere?  Thanks.
[15:40] <Akuli> mate|29517, i doubt they're in a single file, see your dconf editor
[15:46] <mate|29517> Thank you Akuli, I have been through there quite extensively, without finding any reference to my particular files.  Even a search turns up nothing for their names.
[15:47] <Akuli> Right, dconf and gsettings are used for a lot of little things like this
[15:47] <Akuli> not single files, that'd be a lot more work than a good setting manager for everyone :)
[17:08] <mohamed_> mohamed ahmed
[17:10] <ouroumov> hi
[20:30] <frankmate> y there
[20:30] <frankmate> hey there
[20:47] <Fluxxuate> greetings and salutations everyone...
[20:48] <festerB> Fluxxuate: hello.... c?
[20:49] <Fluxxuate> I am curious about the UbuntuMate Raspberry Pi version running on a stock raspberry pi 3 and the software in the software boutique
[20:50] <festerB> Fluxxuate: someone else pls, don't know about the pie...
[20:51] <Fluxxuate> Whenever i attempt to install the software it indicates that it is successfully installed (ie. Chromium and Gparted) but GParted does not show in my accessories menu and chromium launches and crashes before it displays a single web page. Am I doing something wrong?
[20:52] <Fluxxuate> That's okay festerB, I trust that I'll be confused enough about something on my 64bit UbuntuMate build down the line...lol
[20:52] <gordonjcp> Fluxxuate: try running Chromium from a terminal and see if it shows any error messages
[20:55] <Fluxxuate> gordonjcp: I am a total neophyte with the terminal, what do I enter to proceed as you suggested?
[20:57] <gordonjcp> open a terminal and type "chromium-browser"
[20:57] <gordonjcp> or maybe even just "chro<tab>"
[20:58] <Fluxxuate> Here is my error message:
[20:58] <Fluxxuate> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[20:58] <Fluxxuate> ccagle@cdcrp-desktop:~$ [3287:3287:0517/155740:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(334)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process
[20:59] <gordonjcp> doesn't tell me anything, but maybe you can submit a bug on launchpad
[20:59] <gordonjcp> Fluxxuate: try googling for the error message
[20:59] <gordonjcp> maybe leave off the numbers
[21:02] <festerB> maybe disable hw acceleration if possible, both ff and chrome somethimes go for that
[21:03] <Fluxxuate> wow...apparently i am not a "special snowflake" afterall. There is a huge amount of information on this issue. Thank you for the suggestion to find errors by using the terminal. Really appreciated.
[21:05] <Fluxxuate> festerB: hmmmm...it is such a "simple but complex" device I would not think that somewhat "hobbling" in further would be prudent. Still I am willing to try...perhaps it will help or be useful for others.
[21:07] <gordonjcp> Fluxxuate: one thing that seems to crop up is downgrading to an older build
[21:14] <Fluxxuate> All Interested: I downgraded following the instructions from this post I found: http://ubuntu-mate.community/t/chromium-crashes-when-starting-segfaults/4578/12 and it works perfectly now!
[21:16] <Fluxxuate> However, now I am curious what I could do to help make the most recent version work properly. I am by no means a strong coder; I have a limited but favorable experience with C and Java. I am better at diagnostic and analytical tasks but is there any way to contribute to FLOSS project with such a limited skillset? I would think I would be of the most service by staying out of the way and letting the proficient
[21:16] <Fluxxuate> handle the situation?
[21:28] <daniel_> Hello, I'm running Ubuntu Mate in VirtualBox, is there anyway to get this to display in 1080p?
[21:29] <randall> daniel_,  do you have guest editions installed?
[21:32] <daniel_> Does it come with VirtuaBox?
[21:33] <randall> installs separately
[21:33] <pavlos> daniel_, you can d/l them from the vb site
[21:34] <nomic> install guest additiions is an option on virtualbox menu
[21:34] <cheaser> hello. so i have just installed chronium web browser thru the ubuntu software store. Whenever i try to open the application it will close down before it even opens up. What might the problem be?
[21:37] <daniel_> where is it at on the VB menu?
[21:40] <pavlos> daniel_, after you start your VM, look at Devices, insert Guest Additions CD ... (make sure you have it d/l it from the VB site)
[21:41] <tiox> Huh? How can there bs a person named WIMPy who isn't Martin Wimpress?
[21:41] <tiox> Anyway, forun auth for google is broken.
[21:44] <daniel_> Alright, thank you. I'll give it a try. I'll have to log out of this but I'll come back if I have any more issues.
[21:54] <daniel_> Okay I've downloaded the Guest Additions iso and have it set to run in Mate, it shows up on my desktop.
[21:56] <daniel_> Should I run it in Ubuntu now or should I extract and run it on my main PC
[22:01] <nomic> once guest additions installed in virtualbox -- fullscreen should be available
[22:01] <nomic> just install it
[23:20] <Guest88813> hi?
[23:20] <nomic> hi
[23:20] <Guest88813> i was you?
[23:21] <nomic> do you need help with ubuntu
[23:21] <nomic> mate
[23:23] <Guest88813> ok  by
[23:23] <Guest88813> bye
[23:30] <fifty-sevenC> Hi
[23:33] <nomic> hi
[23:34] <nomic> do you have a problem or a question about ubuntu mate
[23:34] <fifty-sevenC> no
[23:37] <TheMarius> hey guys ... the volum control has crashed again
[23:37] <TheMarius> time to file bug report i guess
[23:39] <fifty-sevenC> yup
[23:41] <fifty-sevenC> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mate-indicator-applet
[23:41] <fifty-sevenC> click "Report a bug"
[23:43] <nomic> "the volume control has crashed again" 1. what 'volume control' are you talking about .. 2. nature of crash  3. "again"?  why do you say "again" - there have been no reports of volume control "crashing" .. things don't "crash"
[23:44] <nomic> there are many options for volume control
[23:44] <nomic> many different ways
[23:44] <fifty-sevenC> It is mate-indicator-applet crashing
[23:44] <fifty-sevenC> Crashed on mine when I used it
[23:45] <fifty-sevenC> last night
[23:45] <nomic> there are other applets for volume control
[23:45] <nomic> what do you mean "crashed"
[23:45] <fifty-sevenC> Pretty sure it crashed on ouroumov's system too
[23:45] <nomic> you have @ the very least "alsamixer" .. use it in bash
[23:46] <nomic> this is vague information -- if you really have an issue post a topic on the forum site (ubuntu forums)
[23:46] <fifty-sevenC> Not the volume applet
[23:46] <fifty-sevenC> the mate-indicator-applet

[10:35] <chrisccoulson> right, this KDE patch in firefox has to go
[10:35] <chrisccoulson> i'm sick of it now
[10:35] <FernandoMiguel> LOL
[10:36] <FernandoMiguel> chrisccoulson: let micha know... ppa is still at 15
[11:56] <chrisccoulson> joelesko, there's a bug for you if you have time - bug 877925 :)
[11:56] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 877925 in seamonkey "seamonkey 2.4+ should depend on libstartup-notification0" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/877925
[11:56] <chrisccoulson> that's a simple fix
[13:30] <joelesko> chrisccoulson: that bug brings up a good question. In the control.in file, there is a variable misc:Depends. Where does it get set?
[13:33] <joelesko> It was in the new thunderbird package you started me with.
[13:35] <joelesko> chrisccoulson: you can assign that bug to me. I think there are a bunch more depends that need to be taken care of as well.
[18:31] <micahg> chrisccoulson: did you see my question about xz debs?


[00:07] <krytarik> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue589#Canonical_Design_Team:_The_10_new_rules_of_open_source_infrastructure - so I see you all decided to not just drop this one in the Canonical News section as per usual, but feature it in the Planet section (while of course, I'd think it wasn't actually on the Planet).
[00:18] <Bashing-om> krytarik: I am semi-innocent. However the guidelines: " This section includes articles published by Ubuntu Members on their personal blogs. It can only go up in the sections -> Stephan Fabel is part of Canonical's Product Strategy team and responsible for cloud products, including OpenStack, Kubernetes and MAAS. So did guiverc make the right choice ?
[00:28] <krytarik> Well, the only question (besides content) that we've got to ask ourselves on including articles in the Planet section is: Is the article on the Planet?
[00:56] <Wild_Man> Thanks Bashing-om guiverc
[00:57] <guiverc> Thanks to you too Wild_Man, krytarik and Bashing-om
[01:01] <Bashing-om> krytarik: In that respect: respectfully see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/LinkSuggestions under the Planet section. Where the planet is to include member's blogs - are we to re-write the guidelines ?
[01:10] <krytarik> Bashing-om: Apart from that the sites featured on planet.ubuntu.com aren't only from Ubuntu Members but rather regularly also from Ubuntu flavors and maybe more, the primary precondition for including any articles in the Planet section of the UWN is of course still that they are featured on planet.ubuntu.com in the first place, and not if they are from Ubuntu Members.
