[00:00] <usr13> ssarah: What is your question?
[00:01] <usr13> ssarah: Do you have some sort of objection to samba?
[00:01] <ssarah> just that i dont know how to use it?
[00:01] <ssarah> and it's not well integrated, but i guess google again?
[01:28] <danikar> Is there a way to see what gtk themes I have installed?
[03:00] <N1ch0> Hi guys gnite!
[03:00] <N1ch0> could anyone give me a hand with a strange wireless issue with 14.04 and a x200 thinkpad?
[03:02] <ObrienDave> what's the issue? speak up
[03:02] <N1ch0> oh sry was waiting for reply
[03:02] <N1ch0> all of a sudden down n up activity stops
[03:02] <N1ch0> randomly
[03:02] <N1ch0> using wpa, wpa2, wep, doesnt matter, and after 10 secs it comes back
[03:03] <ObrienDave> which adapter? drivers current?
[03:03] <N1ch0> same connection with others OSs works just fine
[03:03] <N1ch0> Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300
[03:04] <N1ch0> system should be up to date yeh
[03:04] <N1ch0> im thinking it might be the wifi manager and/or power manager
[03:04] <holstein> N1ch0: you mean, same wifi NIC and router on the same machine with a differnt os? like windows? one that the hardware manufacturer supports? all is well?
[03:05] <N1ch0> yeah on dual boot, Win 7 works just fine with this connection
[03:05] <N1ch0> odd thing is, connection doesnt drop it just stops
[03:05] <holstein> N1ch0: what does that mean? with "this connection" ? you mean, all the same hardware? or connection type?
[03:06] <N1ch0> same computer with other OS
[03:06] <holstein> N1ch0: regardless, i would wire up and "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and see if any updates "repair" the driver support there.. then, i would look into other drivers for the device.. .
[03:07] <N1ch0> aright holstein, thx for the help ill give it a go
[03:08] <holstein> i would also consider ndiswrapper with the windows driver.. or, getting other hardware that supports linux better.. i typically just pull out chips that are problematic in linux these days.. hardware is so cheap..
[04:34] <N1ch0> Hello
[04:35] <N1ch0> hi Holstein, i did what u adviced, still no dice on the wifi intermittent connection. What actually fixed the issue was disabling N support. I guess N support isnt really polished yet
[04:35] <N1ch0> thanks for the help tho guys, awesome as always  ^^
[05:18] <xubuntu498> is there any way to have the num lock on on boot?
[05:19] <deshipu> xubuntu498: settings->keyboard->restore numlock state on startup
[05:20] <xubuntu498> thanks
[08:15] <xubuntu751> Hey
[08:15] <xubuntu751> Anyone up at this hour?
[08:16] <ObrienDave> never
[08:16] <xubuntu751> Ive got an issue :(
[08:16] <ObrienDave> !ask
[08:16] <xubuntu751> I am using an external monitor and every time I close my laptop lid it goes into suspend.
[08:17] <ObrienDave> it's set that way
[08:17] <xubuntu751> I have already switched it not to be that way under power options
[08:18] <xubuntu751> Also -- I went in and switched /etc/systemd/logind.conf to HandleLidSwitch=ignore
[08:18] <ObrienDave> do you have windows installed?
[08:18] <xubuntu751> No.
[08:18] <ObrienDave> any other OS besides Xubuntu?
[08:18] <xubuntu751> That's all I know to do. Xfce power settings says it shouldnt lock the screen and my logind.conf handlelidswitch is set to ignore.
[08:19] <xubuntu751> dmesg | grep -i lid sees the 'lid'
[08:19] <xubuntu751> I have no idea what else would be causing my laptop lid to suspend the system if I've already taken the measures which I have tried to solve-- any ideas?
[08:21] <ObrienDave> sorry, no. ask in main channel #ubuntu
[08:23] <xubuntu751> Eh
[08:23] <xubuntu751> I solved it by killing lightlocker.
[08:23] <xubuntu751> thnx
[08:40] <KbdProblem> Hi, I'm having problems getting the keyboard to work on an MSI Wind U100 netbook. It works fine in grub and when booting into Windows, but is dead when I arrive at the log in screen of Xubuntu. After searching around a bit, I've played with some i8042. settings (.nomux, .dumbkbd and .reset) without any luck. I can use an external keyboard. Any suggestions?
[08:42] <ObrienDave> make sure your keyboard is set properly for Xubuntu or find a driver for your keyboard
[08:45] <KbdProblem> MSI doesn't seem to provide any linux drivers - how would I go about setting the keyboard properly for Xubuntu?
[08:47] <ObrienDave> hmm, not sure. when you installed Xubuntu you had a choice of configuring your keyboard. did you go through this step?
[08:50] <KbdProblem> Yes, at install I chose the locale/layout of the keyboard, but using a mouse, since the keyboard wasn't functional
[08:51] <ObrienDave> then it's not set properly. see is MSI has 'codepage' info on keyboard
[08:51] <ObrienDave> *see if
[08:53] <ObrienDave> more than likely, you need to set the proper code page. if that does not work, i suspect a dead keyboard, even if brand new
[08:54] <ObrienDave> oops, you said, It works fine in grub and when booting into Windows, my apologies
[08:54] <ObrienDave> more than likely, you need to set the proper code page.
[08:55] <KbdProblem> yeah, it's not completely dead - it must be some setting. I'll look into the code page setting - thanks!
[08:55] <ObrienDave> welcome
[09:32] <T60> I cannot get Xubuntu to restart the system properly. When I click restart the system will shutdown reboot then lead me to a black screen. I then am forced to do a hard shut down, but I have to do it twice until the black screen goes away. I had this problem previously, I just reformatted my hard drive. This is a fresh installation.
[09:33] <ObrienDave> T60, try adding, nomodeset to grub. not sure where to add it
[09:34] <T60> ObrienDave:I have done that before, but doing that leads me to an even more complex problem.
[09:35] <ObrienDave> T60, do you have TimeShift installed, perhaps?
[09:36] <T60> ObrienDave, this is a completely fresh install of Xubuntu, I did not download any packages yet, I only updated it.
[09:37] <ObrienDave> T60, i'm hoping someone will drop in with an answer for you. i'm out of ideas, sorry
[09:37] <T60> ObrienDave, it's alright, thanks.
[13:14] <nagev> How does one change the user avatar on the login screen?
[13:17] <knome> nagev, use mugshot
[13:19] <nagev> knome, thanks, was just looking at that. It seems it puts the profile image in ~/.face but that would be inaccessible before login as my homedir is encrypted :/  maybe the image gets cached somewhere else, will give it a go.
[13:19] <knome> nagev, if it doesn't seem to work, file a bug
[13:19] <knome> it's possible it's not going to work with an encrypted home directory as is
[13:20] <nagev> knome, yup, thanks
[13:41] <brainwash> nagev: did you actually test it?
[13:42] <nagev> brainwash, setting the pic with mugshot works when i lock the screen, haven't tested it while logged out yet though
[13:43] <brainwash> nagev: mugshot saves the profile pic as ~/.face and tells accountsservice to update the user pic
[13:44] <brainwash> the second method works fine with encrypted home dir
[13:46] <nagev> brainwash, cool, thanks.
[14:17] <xubuntu134> I have an isssue with a lenovo T500 trying to use the Fn controles to turn the touch pad on and off. I can do so in the settings manager but the keyboard controles don't work for the touchpad. I have other computers where this function works fine but the lenovo t500 has this issue with xubuntu but works fine with streight ubuntu.
[15:22] <Hedgework> xubuntu134: it's working fine on a t500 in vanilla ubuntu, or some other machine?
[15:29] <xubuntu134> Hedgework I have to say yes, I have this issue with 2 OS's XFCE Ubuntu and PC linux KDE but that is another issue When I use Mint, Ubuntu even Zorin I don't have this issue but I like Xubuntu because of the ability I have to configur it to do just about anything I want. If I can't resolve this I will contiinue to Use Xubuntu I will just put up with the inconvience of having to open the settings and turn on and off the touch pad wh
[15:30] <Hedgework> xubuntu134: work is calling, but I'll think on it andh ping when I resurface
[15:33] <starrats> xubuntu134, just curious does your cursor freeze up to with your touchpad?
[15:33] <xubuntu134> Hedgework: thanks been working this myself for about 3 months and have got nowhere on my own, figured I would look for some help.
[15:37] <xubuntu134> starrats: no in fact the touch pad function works just fine but at my desk I don't use it I only use the touch pad when I go mobil the lenovo has extra buttons for the touch pad that never work except in windows with special Lenovo drivers but that was the first thing I did when I got this box was to remove all MS products.
[15:37] <starrats> ah okay xubuntu134
[15:39] <starrats> Mt touchpad/cursor was freezing up on me until I go help from a friend and added a line into the grub to stop the freezing, this was now over 2 months ago and i have had zero problems, btw my laptop is a toshiba satellite
[15:46] <edmael> Hi everyone!
[15:46] <xubuntu348> A family member hs asked me to install Xubuntu on an older computer.  I have only downloded and installed DVD sized images.  The old computer will boot from a USB drive, but I cannot find instructions for creating the bootable image on the USB stick.  Would someone point me in the right direction please.  Thanks
[15:47] <cookieburra> just a sec :)
[15:47] <xubuntu134> starrats: what is funny is that all the other Fn controles work just fine it is just the touchpad on/off.
[15:47] <xangua> !usb | xubuntu134
[15:47] <xangua> if it's 'old' can it boot from usb¿
[15:48] <xangua> see above xubuntu348
[15:49] <starrats> ah okay xubuntu134
[15:54] <xubuntu348> Thanks ubottu, and yes, it will boot from USB memory.
[20:52] <Guido1> Hello, I would like to design covers for DVDs and CDs. Is there a small program which allows syncronisation with the DVD / CD content and writing own teksts? (i have XFburn)
[20:53] <Guido1> and maybe export to pdf, odf or doc

[22:37] <ObrienDave> longbonglungfish, see if "lock screen before sleep" is checked. session and startup, advanced tab. iirc
[22:39] <longbonglungfish> yup ObrienDave, that's checked.
[22:39] <ObrienDave> try clearing and resaving current session
[22:40] <longbonglungfish> got it. will be right back then.
[23:03] <longbonglungfish> hey again ObrienDave, your last piece of advice did not work.
[23:04] <longbonglungfish> I also have lock screen when going for suspend/hibernate checked in xfce power manager.
[23:04] <ObrienDave> hmm, sorry, someone should be able to help you with this shortly
[23:05] <longbonglungfish> thanks!
