tatertots 2017-01-31 06:54:46
super_nugget: yeah
arooni 2017-01-31 06:55:14
for ubuntu 16.04; is there a better option than gnome-do ? it seems pretty buggy and crashes often. looking for a stable, alfred like replacement
super_nugget 2017-01-31 06:55:27
tatertots: hey =)
super_nugget 2017-01-31 06:56:07
tatertots: got the log file?
tatertots 2017-01-31 06:56:17
super_nugget: => Windows 7/8/2012 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda.
tatertots 2017-01-31 06:56:17
=> Syslinux MBR (4.04 and higher) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb.
super_nugget 2017-01-31 06:57:03
ermm..i didnt get you...
Guest60998 2017-01-31 06:57:13
hi, i'm trying to install the latest vlc version as per the guide at the end of this comment. i added the ppa, updated ,then used apt-get. i'm getting a conflict where apt is trying to install the ubuntu-repository version of vlc-nox rather than the new ppa's version. running ubuntu 16.10. how can i install vlc 3.0? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/06/install-vlc-3-0-ubuntu
super_nugget 2017-01-31 06:57:20
so i should install to /dev/sdb next time?
tatertots 2017-01-31 06:57:42
super_nugget: the highest priority MBR that is seen first by the computer is on /dev/sda, you might know it as the 750gB
super_nugget 2017-01-31 06:57:55
but /dev/sdb was the stick itself...
super_nugget 2017-01-31 06:58:13
yes true..
tatertots 2017-01-31 06:58:18
super_nugget: the highest priority MBR that is seen first by the computer is on /dev/sda, you might know it as the 750gB so it is expected that you would boot into windows
linux_user 2017-01-31 06:58:20
I installed ubuntu GNOME and then the three ubuntustudio meta packages for audio and jackd does not start up gives some barrage of errors telling me a file is missing but no filename!?! where can I get help with this? whence I fired up qjackctl (before even clicking 'start') I got all this: http://pastebin.com/mstEHEUw
super_nugget 2017-01-31 07:00:12
tatertots:didnt know there was a highest priority mbr..what is it?
super_nugget 2017-01-31 07:01:05
so even if i install the bootloader in /dev/sda it still wouldn't be read by the boot manager as a secondary bootloader entry?
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:03:38
Can anyone with plain ubuntu 16.04.1 please pastebin their greeter startup script in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/ ? My original one got overwritten by installing lubuntu on top of an existing ubuntu install...
DarkHorse1 2017-01-31 07:03:42
how i can do something like if i open a image a music will play. sorry for english
tatertots 2017-01-31 07:03:42
super_nugget: did you create empty space to install linux prior to your installation attempt? yes or no
DarkHorse1 2017-01-31 07:03:59

Lorcatar 2017-01-31 07:04:36
Like a thumbnail for a mp3 file DarkHorse1?
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:04:37
DarkHorse1, I am not an expert but I think an mp4 can have audio with a still image
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:04:42
Darkhorse, you want to play an ISO image containing CDA-formatted music?
Lorcatar 2017-01-31 07:05:26
Can you browse the ubuntu software center offline? Not to download but just to browse the metadata?
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:05:27
CDA as in CD Audio format/ a.k.a RedBook ?
DarkHorse1 2017-01-31 07:05:37
thanks but i want something that music is hidden behind the image or user will able to see only image file
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:05:59
I think you want an mp4 DarkHorse1

jorlin 2017-01-31 07:08:30
linux_user, it looks like the process you are trying to start expects a running jackd daemon, but that daemon is not started, though it is detected as being "available"
DarkHorse1 2017-01-31 07:08:54
i want to combine a script with photo so if i click on photo script will run
tatertots 2017-01-31 07:09:41
super_nugget: boot the installation media
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:09:48
oh
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:09:59
let me check that then, jackd is a service I must start?
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:10:23
linux_user, probably, yes. I'm no expert on jackd though, it may need parameters
DarkHorse1 2017-01-31 07:11:01
i want to combine a script with photo so if i click on photo script will run
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:11:15
but that 'start' button on qjackctl isnt that to start jackd?
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:11:27
such as an ALSA_sink for input or output, but that is a long time ago for me. Probably 5 years or so, so I'm doubtful if that principle is still valid.
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:11:45
A WHAT?
DarkHorse1 2017-01-31 07:11:55
i want to combine a script with photo so if i click on photo script will run how i can do that
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:12:12
DarkHorse1: that is different, now that you said 'script'!!
super_nugget 2017-01-31 07:12:14
tatertots: could we pm..?=)
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:12:46
a script to start audio playing in the background with '&' while displaying a photo is easy to do
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:13:11
linux_user, last time I used Jack, I had to define ALSA sinks for Jack to connect to as IN/ OUTputs
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:13:12
Yeah well the UbuntuStudio groups are frigging useless
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:13:25
and that can cause jackd to not start up you mean?
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:13:32
or to be broken as it is?
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:13:52
I think trying to uninstall XFCE and put GNOME onto UBUNTU STUDIO will be easier
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:14:03
linux_user, hey, hey, have some respect... Those guys created an awesome multimedia environment.
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:14:11
wait a second
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:14:25
if Install the packages and they don't start, where I am wrong to say something is not working or broken?
therayox 2017-01-31 07:14:26
hi
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:14:42
if you install software that is supposed to be fully configured and its not, and there are no instructions
linux_user 2017-01-31 07:14:45
give me a break
therayox 2017-01-31 07:15:10
hi
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:15:12
linux_user, did you install the complete Desktop Environment on top of an existing Ubuntu install?
DarkHorse1 2017-01-31 07:15:45
oh i m sorry basically friend of mine didn't told me
therayox 2017-01-31 07:16:11
ok
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:16:36
linux, did you try running it in a VM, or as a Live ISO to check if your hardware plays nice with the distro?
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:16:46
linux_user, , did you try running it in a VM, or as a Live ISO to check if your hardware plays nice with the distro?
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:17:45
linux, did you disable Pulseaudio first before starting the app that required Jack?
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:19:25
Darkhorse, you could create a desktop launcher having a certain icon associated with it that resembles the photo. Would that be something in the right direction?
EmberCrest 2017-01-31 07:19:48
Noob here, back again. I undershot the amount of space I'd need for Ubuntu. Got 20gb unallocated free space, so how do I extend my 10gb ubuntu partition to 30gb?
Guest60998 2017-01-31 07:19:53
Guest
tatertots 2017-01-31 07:20:32
super_nugget: sure did you boot the install media
EmberCrest 2017-01-31 07:20:49
The unallocated space and the main disk are next to each other, respectfully.
DarkHorse1 2017-01-31 07:20:52
yesh jorlin
DarkHorse1 2017-01-31 07:20:59
*yes
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:21:00
EmberCrest, first of all, backup all your personal data, if any, than start a Live ISO, and grow the partition in gparted.
EmberCrest 2017-01-31 07:21:52
Sigh ok. Ill just have to wait until i get home if I gotta start a live ISO..
EmberCrest 2017-01-31 07:22:23
I got Windows on the other half of my disk, if there's a gparted equivelant?
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:24:43
EmberCrest, yes, that would be Disk Manager, but is is quite dangerous to mess with that on a mounted Disk Volume, if it even lets you do that. However that is outside the scope of this channel. You might have better luck in ##windows
EmberCrest 2017-01-31 07:25:22
jorlin: Can I not just unmount the ubuntu volume?
rajivmars 2017-01-31 07:25:47
i have just installed ubuntumate 16.04. but i can't see the plumouth logo during the boot. how do i get my plumouth screen logo back?
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:26:24
EmberCrest, yes, but only if you are running a Live ISO environment.
EmberCrest 2017-01-31 07:26:58
jorlin: So I can't unmount the partition from Windows, basically
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:28:08
EmberCrest, sure you can, but I would not trust Disk Manager to resize a Linux File System.
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:28:50
As always, if you want to experiment, make a BACKUP first of anything that is remotely important to you.
EmberCrest 2017-01-31 07:29:35
jorlin: mhm, agreed. I'll take care.
rajivmars 2017-01-31 07:29:43
anybody plz answer.
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:30:13

ubottu 2017-01-31 07:30:13
rajivmars: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/
rajivmars 2017-01-31 07:31:05
ok. thats fine:)
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:33:07
EmberCrest, I woiuld resize a Linux partition from within a Live ISO, there is a way to create a Windows Live DVD, I believe it was called Windows PE or something, if you need to resize an NTFS volume. But that is outside the scope of #ubuntu
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:33:23
EmberCrest, wouild => would
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:35:41
rajivmars, actually, I'm trying to achieve something similar myself. When installing one complete *buntu desktop over another, the last installed desktop seems to overwrite defaults of the previous system when it comes to appearance.
Mrokii 2017-01-31 07:36:16
Hello. I have a problem in bash that is quite puzzling to me. I tried to create three different "ls"-aliases. "ls" for showing all files, "lsv" for showing only visble files and "lsi" for only showing invisible files. "ls" and "lsi" works as intended but "lsv" still shows all files. It does work hoewever when I alias it to "/bin/ls" instead of just "ls". Does that make sense to anybody?
energizer 2017-01-31 07:36:28
If I run a command like sudo service mongod start, which user is going to be running the mongod process?
BluesKaj 2017-01-31 07:36:47
jorlin, each desktop comes with it's own default theme instaled
rajivmars 2017-01-31 07:36:55
jorlin, ok. then what to do know?
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:37:41
BluesKaj, so I have noticed, but is their a way to restore the original theme (boot, greeter and all?)
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:37:55
their -> there
lakshay 2017-01-31 07:37:57

energizer 2017-01-31 07:38:02
I have ubuntu 14.04, I don't understand how services work, where can I read about them?
BluesKaj 2017-01-31 07:38:15
which original theme etc, jorlin?
lakshay 2017-01-31 07:38:20
i have 16.04
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:39:24
BluesKaj, I started out with plain Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, but I installed kubuntu, lubuntu and xubuntu over it. It seems that the Xubuntu theme has won for now ...:-)
BluesKaj 2017-01-31 07:40:16
wow
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:40:45
BluesKaj, since that is the title of the "boot" screen I see now, along with the diamond theme of the lightdm greeter.
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:42:03
BluesKaj, I wanted to show my father the different desktop environments in their most complete form, so that he can choose for himself, which DE has his fancy.
BluesKaj 2017-01-31 07:42:21
jorlin, I stay with KDE/Plasma...the others aren't my style at all
genii 2017-01-31 07:42:59
jorlin: If you have multiple dm installed, just use: sudo dpkg-reconfigure ..with the name of one you have. Like: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
Lorcatar 2017-01-31 07:43:07
XFCE is the best looking but setting caps to control is a pain
Lorcatar 2017-01-31 07:43:20
Or other customizations
jorlin 2017-01-31 07:43:21
BluesKaj, I tend to switch between LXDE, Unity and awesome, depending on what task I have at hand.
Lorcatar 2017-01-31 07:43:57
I mean LXDE is the best looking etc etc
lakshay 2017-01-31 07:44:42
any one up?
