Bashing-om 2017-01-25 15:47:43
MarkB2: Well, we do have hybrid graphics . But real old card and will losse support from nvicia this year . If ya want we can intall the 304 version proprietary driver ; per http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html .
MarkB2 2017-01-25 15:48:29
Bashing-om: I'll take a look at the Nvidia web page. Would be nice to get both screens running at the same time.
Bashing-om 2017-01-25 15:49:57
MarkB2: Well worth trying to install the proprietary driver .. and then you have nvidia-prime to control the graphics . Only takes a couple of commands and it is a done deal .
MarkB2 2017-01-25 15:50:16
Looking now.. thanks.
Bashing-om 2017-01-25 15:51:17
maddawg2: We want to install - if that is your choice - from the repo with apt ( the package manager ) .

Hello. Anyone know how to automatically run a virus scan at boot up?
mike_602 2017-01-25 15:53:04
more specifically I'm using Sophos antivirus
underd0g 2017-01-25 15:53:33
mike_602: add the program to your startup apps
mike_602 2017-01-25 15:55:38
Wish I could, but it's only a command line program
kruger764 2017-01-25 15:56:22
First time in an IRC Channel... This is interesting...
mike_602 2017-01-25 15:56:33
kruger764, what up :)
underd0g 2017-01-25 15:56:38
mike_602: then make a bash script with terminalname (gnome terminal -e (command)
underd0g 2017-01-25 15:57:06
mike_602: and then you can add the script to your start up scripts
underd0g 2017-01-25 15:57:16
mike_602:
mike_602 2017-01-25 15:57:18
underd0g, how do I make a bash script?
underd0g 2017-01-25 15:57:25
mike_602: or your Xsession
mike_602 2017-01-25 15:58:18
underd0g, can I do via the "startup app pref" and click add, and put the command there? :)
underd0g 2017-01-25 15:58:37
mike_602: open an edit or (geany or gedit or vim) then then type the syntax i just told you, and then go into terminal and chmod 755 the file name
underd0g 2017-01-25 15:59:12
mike_602: im not sure but try it out
mike_602 2017-01-25 15:59:21

underd0g 2017-01-25 15:59:26
mike_602: np
mike_602 2017-01-25 15:59:56

underd0g 2017-01-25 16:00:21
mike_602: check htop or top and see
mike_602 2017-01-25 16:01:23

mike_602 2017-01-25 16:02:25
underd0g, about to do it now brb and I'll let you know if it worked :)
kruger 2017-01-25 16:04:51
What's going on mike_602
kruger 2017-01-25 16:05:41
So not sure why but chrome keeps randomly crashing my pc
kruger 2017-01-25 16:05:52
Even did a fresh install of ubuntu :/
kruger 2017-01-25 16:06:23
ideas anyone?
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 16:06:57
dmesg | tail in a terminal might be worth looking at
kruger 2017-01-25 16:08:41
Just checked that, not seeing anything obvious
kruger 2017-01-25 16:09:08
it's usually when something graphic intensive is going on... such as a video or reddpics
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 16:09:18
kruger, launch chrome from the terminal. keep one eye on the terminal for error messages
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 16:09:46
kruger, that failure mode suggests graphics problems.
kruger 2017-01-25 16:10:23
Yeah, looking into updating nvidia drivers now.
kruger 2017-01-25 16:10:27
Let's see if that helps

Hello, what does 'dobin' mean?
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 16:19:37

Genuine 2017-01-25 16:26:26

underd0g 2017-01-25 16:27:10
Genuine: what about it
Genuine 2017-01-25 16:27:30
i can't change them on my pc i tried to follow a guide but i failed.
mike_602 2017-01-25 16:27:53
underd0g, not sure if that worked for the auto antivirus lol no worries though, I'll just do it manually. Cronjob, is that a way to do it manually?
underd0g 2017-01-25 16:29:01
Genuine: i would check out kali linux for that and look at torsocks
underd0g 2017-01-25 16:29:39
mike_602: did you try that other way you thought of
mike_602 2017-01-25 16:29:55
Did way I thought of. Didn't try your way yet
underd0g 2017-01-25 16:30:14
mike_602: oh okay
Genuine 2017-01-25 16:30:20
underd0g, the website i try to access refuses tor
Genuine 2017-01-25 16:30:34
i will look into kali though, thank you.
underd0g 2017-01-25 16:33:16
Genuine: yeah alot of webpages dont accept socks proxy but its easy and usefull when it works
Genuine 2017-01-25 16:34:02
yap
biocage 2017-01-25 16:35:53
Can anyone help with an issue where Chrome makes window management go wonky?
biocage 2017-01-25 16:36:48
Often, when I have chrome open, I lose the ability to change windows via mouse, or use keyboard shortcuts for Unity (but alt-tab works, switching to console vt and back to X temporarily restores functionality)
underd0g 2017-01-25 16:37:01
Genuine: try hping on ubuntu, its cli
underd0g 2017-01-25 16:38:17
biocage: i have no idea why that would happen, but you can try to update chrome or uninstall it and reinstall it
biocage 2017-01-25 16:38:43
underd0g: I've tried that with no luck.
jnewt_ 2017-01-25 16:41:02
I'm getting a segmentation fault when trying to start firefox, just happened out of the blue. several messages before the segmentation fault, would pastebin, but no firefox :(
Ben64 2017-01-25 16:41:40
see if any firefox is running (ps aux | grep firefox) and kill them
Ben64 2017-01-25 16:42:06
then try starting firefox with a new profile (firefox -P)
jnewt_ 2017-01-25 16:42:15
negative Ben64, no other instances
jnewt_ 2017-01-25 16:42:33
tried firefox -P, same result
Ben64 2017-01-25 16:42:54
do "firefox | nc termbin.com 9999"
jnewt_ 2017-01-25 16:43:52
says "use netcat."
biocage 2017-01-25 16:44:29
huh, termbin's cool.
Ben64 2017-01-25 16:44:35
biocage: indeed
