[00:47] <opdop> Salve
[00:47] <opdop> hello
[00:48] <opdop> can someone help me about rf-kill and hard blocking of wireless device?
[00:53] <teward> opdop: hard blocking usually indicates something else is blocking
[00:53] <teward> either a driver incompatibility or a hardware switch
[00:54] <opdop> it happens that the wireless device is turned off at startup
[00:55] <opdop> i have to turn on via its button everytime
[00:55] <opdop> i would like to know if I can get it on at startup in some way

[02:15] <t43tg3hh4> how do i add something to start up
[02:27] <t43tg3hh4> so does anyone know
[02:28] <Unit193> Dropping a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/ or depending on what you need there's other ways too.
[02:32] <t43tg3hh4> i did this... sudo leafpad /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart
[02:33] <Unit193> Not what I'm talking about, http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Autostart
[02:33] <t43tg3hh4> then added this... @python2.7 /home/supersexystudmuffin/ssokolow-quicktile-8335c0b/quicktile.py -d
[02:34] <t43tg3hh4> the first way is too difficult
[02:36] <t43tg3hh4> but my way didn't work lol

[10:11] <t43tg3hh4> there is a bug in Lubuntu, when uninstalling Transmission from the lubuntu software center it just uninstalls the gtk version and installs QT-transmission
[10:12] <t43tg3hh4> and if you uninstall QT- transmission in just reinstalls the regular Transmission
[10:26] <t43tg3hh4> if i have multiple grouped windows on the task bar how do i close all the windows at once with right clicking?
[10:32] <Thunder2> my laptop freezes durung shutdown :(
[10:32] <Thunder2> what can i do
[10:32] <t43tg3hh4> when did it start freezing
[10:34] <Thunder2> when the lubuntu logo appears
[10:34] <t43tg3hh4> omg the LXpanel in the newest Lubuntu release is outdated by about 4 years
[10:34] <Thunder2> 2 loading dots
[10:34] <t43tg3hh4> did it freeze before?
[10:35] <Thunder2> now shut down worked
[10:35] <Thunder2> very strange
[10:35] <t43tg3hh4> i did my magic :)
[10:36] <Thunder2> there are many bugs releated to this shutdownproblem
[10:36] <Thunder2> :/
[10:36] <Thunder2> hopefully now it will work better
[10:38] <t43tg3hh4> Lubuntu needs to update the LXDE version it is giving LXDE a bad reputation
[10:45] <t43tg3hh4> closing multiple grouped windows on the task bar at once when right clicking is something you can do in Windows95
[10:45] <t43tg3hh4> please just make an official update the LXpanel to the newest version

[17:48] <wxl> lubuntu testing needed today https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lubuntu-users/2014-December/009100.html
[17:52] <teward> wxl: no issues if this is run via VM?  (I don't have any hardware lying around, but I"m bored)
[17:52] <wxl> teward: that's how most of us do it, so yes
[17:52] <holstein> vm testing *is* a test..
[17:52] <teward> s/hardware/spare hardware/
[17:52] <wxl> teward: in fact the notice specially mentions it
[17:52] <holstein> it would be nice to do some on metal, but vm works
[17:52] <teward> wxl: i'll poke entire disk install for you, lemme provision a VM up, duping my Trusty VM specs.
[17:53] <teward> others probably have faster ISO download speeds though >.>
[17:53] <wxl> teward: just rename some other iso and use zsync
[17:54] <wxl> that's what i do :)
[17:54] <wxl> p.s. teward bored? you release a new nginx ppa and suddenly you're bored? :)
[17:55] <teward> wxl: well, i have an nginx merge sitting in the sponsoring queue... waiting for xnox and the DMB to apply my nginx PPU rights so I can upload it myself...
[17:55] <wxl> ahhhh that kind of bored
[17:55] <teward> and i'm waiting on Debian to respond on the nginx BREACH not-mitigated issue
[17:58] <teward> 15 minutes until downloaded apparently
[18:00] <Pici> a/36
[18:01] <teward> wxl: and yes, that kind of "Stuck waiting for things to get done" bored
[18:01] <teward> at least, until 1:45.
[18:01] <wxl> hehehe
[18:01] <teward> then i'm off for my poli sci exam
[18:01] <wxl> oh FUN
[18:02] <teward> wxl: incoming link to a GIF set that shows you what i'm thinking in response to having the exam, over PM if you don't mind (not public-IRC-sane)
[18:03] <teward> it's relatively SFW... but meh
[18:03]  * teward yawns
[18:03] <teward> 49% done
[18:08] <Erkan_Yilmaz> oh, you guys are late :-( started before a 32bit desktop install of 14.10 ...
[18:08] <wxl> hm?
[18:08] <teward> well i'm working amd64
[18:08] <teward> and ISO testing isnt usually on my radar, bug triage being my primary
[18:09] <teward> i'm just bored from the hold on my current tasks/assignments/projects :)
[18:09] <wxl> hehe
[18:09] <teward> WORK FASTER ZSYNC
[18:09] <wxl> it's only too bad i can't coerce you to play bug triage for lubuntu teward :)
[18:09] <teward> wxl: server's my focus, right now, especially nginx because upload-rights-in-progress
[18:09] <wxl> i know, i know
[18:09] <teward> :)
[18:10] <teward> FINALLY ITS DONED
[18:10] <wxl> just expressing my appreciation for you and my deep sadness that i can't have you XD
[18:11] <teward> :P
[18:11] <teward> wxl: hehehe
[18:11] <teward> i betcha balloons wanted me to assist with ISO testing in ubuntu too, but meh.
[18:11] <teward> lubuntu actually loads better in the VMs :)
[18:12] <wxl> yeah don't tell him nothing
[18:12] <teward> and bug triage is a bugsquad / bugcontrol shared duty :)
[18:12] <wxl> i'm on both teams myself
[18:12] <wxl> of course wait you know that :)
[18:12] <wxl> i need to find more time to do it
[18:12] <wxl> which is why i'm looking for an assistant
[18:17] <teward> :P
[18:24] <teward> wxl: amd64 Desktop full disk installation completed without major errors - minor issues noticed have been recorded in comments
[18:24] <teward> now i'm going to go beat myself with a hammer, yell at Windows for an hour, throw /dev/urandom at xnox, and go find some coffee
[18:24] <wxl> teward: thx!
[18:25] <teward> wxl: in the comments section, i went into detail about the enviornment and the 'take note of..." items in the testcase as well
[18:25] <teward> DETAILS ARE IMPORTANT!
[18:25] <teward> :P
[18:26] <teward> (and yes I love details)
[18:27] <teward> wxl: i saw you got a laugh from the gifset :)
[18:32] <wxl> hmmmm?
[18:39] <teward> wxl: your response in PM on the gifset :)
[18:39] <teward> grrrrr, now i have to go for exams
[18:39] <wxl> OHH that one yes :)
[18:39] <teward> <--- exuding extreme evil hatred for exams right now
[18:39] <teward> back later
[18:39] <wxl> have fun
[18:40] <teward> when i get back i'll throw my VM at the i386 environment
[18:40] <teward> s/environment/test/
[18:40] <teward> and poke xnox on other issues :P
[19:01] <ianorlin> oh wow I think I may have found something wierd is trying to run an autoresize on a system installed with btrfs it doesn't give the install side by side option :(
[19:03] <ianorlin> it worked with ext4 yesterday
[19:04] <holstein> interesting..
[19:04] <wxl> yeah well btrfs is a bit funky afaik
[19:05] <ianorlin> lubuntu installed with btrfs fine and I got it to boot
[19:05] <wxl> don't knwo what to say
[19:05] <wxl> but i would suggest that's certainly an edge case
[19:25] <ianorlin> yeah I can understand if traigers mark this as low
[19:42] <wxl> triagers
[19:42] <wxl> we don't have many!
[19:47] <ianorlin> ok I found a way to manually get it to work but what should I mark the auto resize testcase
[19:47] <ianorlin> It is insatlling manually now
[19:47] <wxl> yeah i think so
[19:48] <ianorlin> if I mark it fail I should note that I can get it to manually install
[19:55] <Unit193>  /wii teward
[19:55] <Unit193> Well.
[19:57] <teward> Unit193: ?
[19:58] <Unit193> teward: Extra space, sorry.  Was seeing what channels we share to find another one.  Poking you about a bug if someone else doesn't have the right permissions.
[20:05] <teward> Unit193: ack
[20:05] <teward> wxl: so far I have yet to have a failed install in my VM environments... is this unusual?
[20:05] <teward> (everything including sound works)
[20:05] <Unit193> (Bug 1302963, trying to get it tagged for trusty.)
[20:05] <ubottu> bug 1302963 in parsedatetime (Ubuntu) "Calendar() class can not be initialized" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1302963
[20:07] <teward> Unit193: well, its already 'fix released', if the issue is in Trusty you should update the bug description saying it's replicated there, and get it ready with an SRU template - might want to coordinate with Noskcaj on that one
[20:07]  * teward throws /dev/urandom at Noskcaj in the mean time, unendingly
[20:08]  * Noskcaj waves
[20:09] <teward> Noskcaj: Unit193 needs you to work with him on LP #1302963 - looking to tag it as Trusty
[20:09] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1302963 in parsedatetime (Ubuntu) "Calendar() class can not be initialized" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1302963
[20:09]  * teward can only nominate for Trusty, can't confirm that nomination
[20:09] <Unit193> I *think* that's all I'm looking for.
[20:10] <teward> Noskcaj: looks like it'll need an sru possibly
[20:10] <teward> (nominated for Trusty in the interim)
[20:10]  * teward goes back to stabbing the VM
[20:11] <teward> wxl: check: is it supposed to ask you to hit Enter or something to reboot after removing the install disk?
[20:11] <teward> (previous ones gave me that prompt, daily isn't, not sure where to report that against)
[20:16] <teward> (good news: i386 desktop install in the VM environment succeeded without bugs)

[21:07] <mikhail_> hello
[21:08] <holstein> o/
[21:10] <mikhail_>  i've got a question to make
[21:11] <mikhail_>  does anyone know why qbittorrent doesn't work properly on lubuntu?
[21:11] <joppe_> mine does
[21:11] <holstein> mikhail_: no, but, share some details.. so, you *can* run qbittorrent on your machine in other desktops?
[21:11] <holstein> its only under lxde/lubuntu that you cant use the software?
[21:12] <mikhail_> it's under lxde in 12.04
[21:12] <mikhail_> I mean it runs but when I am downloading multiple torrents it crashes
[21:12] <holstein> mikhail_: so, it works in other desktop environments? then?
[21:12] <holstein> !bug
[21:12] <ubottu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.
[21:13] <mikhail_> it's via ppa qbittorrent stable
[21:13] <joppe_> switch to 14.04 or 14.10
[21:14] <joppe_> my 14.10 qb is working fine
[21:14] <mikhail_> yeah but I got the impression that qbittorrent uses qt libraries and lxde uses gtk
[21:14] <mikhail_> python in exact
[21:14] <mikhail_> right
[21:14] <mikhail_> ?
[21:15] <mikhail_> maybe even it's 12.04 maybe there are some outdated libtorrent-rasterbar libraries right?
[21:17] <joppe_> well im using 14.10 and everything is running fine
=== XeBlackWater is now known as zz_XeBlackWater
[21:20] <mikhail_> ok thanks for the info maybe I will upgrade or install 14.04 as in favor for an lts release
[21:23] <ianorlin> wxl do you know what happens when somone comments on a bug affecting them but doesn't mark it as confirmed?
[21:23] <holstein> very little..
[21:30] <wxl> ianorlin: yeah it should be automatically marked as confirmed after 2-3 people mark it as affecting them
[21:31] <wxl> teward: no not unusual that the dailies work :)
[22:08] <teward> wxl: looks like some of the dailies are throwing issues, judging by the iso tracker
[22:08] <wxl> teward: papercuts on edge cases, it seems.
[22:09] <wxl> and i assume s/dailies/alpha1s/ ?
[22:10] <teward> wxl: yes
[22:10]  * teward misspoke :)
[22:10]  * teward yawns
[22:10] <teward> wxl: my brain is nuked by exams :/
[22:11] <wxl> had to be suer :)
[22:11] <Unit193> Sure*
[22:16]  * wxl slaps Unit193 
[23:30]  * teward throws wxl into /dev/null for no apparent reason...
[23:39]  * wxl removes teward from crontab
[23:40]  * teward removes wxl from sudoers
[23:41] <teward> (lol not sorry!  *runs*)
[23:41] <wxl> ooooooh
[23:41]  * wxl su's his way to root and forcibly removes teward from /etc/passwd
[23:42] <wxl> :þ
[23:43]  * teward uses the serial console to access `root`, accesses the account, resets the password to a string only he knows, remounts the drive as read-only, and laughs
[23:45]  * wxl installs windows, which naturally formats the entire drive
[23:45] <wxl> >:Þ
[23:45] <Unit193> Right, well #lubuntu-offtopic exists for a reason, if you'd like to continue to out do one another there, that'd be great.
[23:45] <wxl> oh jeez, Unit193. such a party pooper. and we helped you with your bug!
[23:46] <wxl> besides, i won. ;)
