Q: sleep suspend on ubuntu

Py-serI was following this discussion to find a way to suspend automatically my laptop when I fall asleep. However, it seems that there are some programs that could avoid the accomplishment of the command sleep/suspend. It could be skype and/or streaming websites, or perhaps something else. In other wo...

Problem solved.
 
2:42 AM
@Lucio have you tried 12.04 to support that claim?
 
tried 12.10 and checked on 13.04
 
or trusty?
 
in a week I answer that one
 
apparently is the gvfs package, but you know bug triagers will ask you if you tried 12.04 or 14.04

We have a new solder on the field.
 
2:52 AM
Solder (, ) is a fusible metal alloy used to join together metal workpieces and having a melting point below that of the workpiece(s). Soft solder is typically thought of when solder or soldering is mentioned, with a typical melting range of . It is commonly used in electronics, plumbing, and assembly of sheet metal parts. Manual soldering uses a soldering iron or soldering gun. Alloys that melt between are the most commonly used. Soldering performed using alloys with a melting point above is called 'hard soldering', 'silver soldering', or brazing. For certain proportions an alloy b...

hi some help needed
 
11:37 AM
@cshubhamrao o/ - with what?
 
@fossfreedom Installing Ubuntu 14.04 in lowest time possible to 40 computers with exact same config and apps (for my school)
 
that is what landscape is used for
 
Its too costly :)
 
what is your budget?
 
Cant we install on one pc and then clone the hdds?
 
11:40 AM
is your hardware fairly similar?
 
exactly same
 
you have a server to connect to?
 
10-20 pcs are on network
others aren't
Will cloning work (ready to do manual work)
 
I would take a common clonezilla image across all 40 computers - then for the server connected stuff, just apply manually the set to work required for what ever your server functions you require.
 
This is what we planned, but hostnames and other stuff?
 
Oli
11:43 AM
The only problem with cloning (vs installing) is you'll need to manually change the hostnames. There are probably udev rules that are MAC-address locked too that could do with refreshing.
 
^^^ - that
 
so only manual work will be of changing hostnames. Right?
 
yep - suggest try on just a couple of network PC's - see what interactions - if any you face before rolling out everywhere
 
Oli
I've never done a big clone like that before so I can't say for certain that's the only issue but yeah, give it a go and see how that goes :)
 
lets see, new experience for a 15 yr old boy :)
 
Oli
11:46 AM
I wonder if the UUID of the partitions stays the same when cloning... I think they do but if they don't, that could mean you need to update the fstab file too.
 
Also would Remastersys work?
This answer says that UUID is not a problem askubuntu.com/a/444649/154414
 
you said you wanted the fastest method - imaging is the fastest. If you want to spend time crafting your ultimate PC build - then yes, remastersys and similar methods will work.
 
ok first step is to persuade the school
Its almost done (Had to really show them MS Office 2010 working)
 
eek - why office 2010? why not libreoffice?
 
Showed them LibreOffice, school says that they need some time (abt 2 months) to get familiar with Libre
My next trump card- show educational apps of edubuntu
I successful, I promise writing a Guide for my further reference and for others to follow (esp educational institutes)
Thanks a lot @Oli and @fossfreedom
 
11:56 AM
look forward to reading it :)

A: Installing NVIDIA GEFORCE 750M drivers

Ionică BizăuI fixed the problem by installing the tested NVIDIA drivers for Ubuntu: I can see the following details: So, GeForce GT 750M /PCIe/SSE2 driver is installed. BTW, I switched again on the open source driver. NVIDIA drivers had important issues (overheating and sometimes the entire ...

I think it was the last time when I switched on NVIDIA drivers.
 
12:42 PM
@fossfreedom Hey, do you have a solution for this? I am also interested in selecting terminal text just using keyboard.
 
with just gnome-terminal? no - doesnt support it. With other terminal software - maybe, havent tried though.
 
oh yay! Debian is affected by the bug :)
 
@fossfreedom Then, update your answer and I will vote it up. :-)
 
12:59 PM
and there's a package in sid already, just hold your breath
 
Hey guys, need some assistance regarding multiple language inputs
 
@MadaraUchiha ibus?
 
I have English and Hebrew set up, but very recently (since last night, for some reason), I can no longer switch between the languages
My keyboard shortcut doesn't work, and even when I switch manually from the menu, it switches visually but remains in English at all times.
 
have tried restarting?
 
Yup
No luck.
@MinatoNamikaze How can I tell?
 
1:04 PM
ps ax | grep ibus?
 
@Braiam There's one line
 
--^ That
 
Ah, no. It's the grep :D
 
yep, nope, not ibus, are you using 13.10?
 
1:06 PM
@MadaraUchiha did you try ibus-daemon -d
 
Moving obsolete conffile /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pkla out of the way
 
@MinatoNamikaze I don't have the command
So I'm guessing I'm really not using ibus.
 
Ok
@MadaraUchiha Installed any new packages?
 
@MinatoNamikaze Last I installed was node.js, but that was relatively a long time ago
 
yay, anthy is finaly working as expected in chromium!
 
1:09 PM
@Braiam Japanese input?
 
yup
 
@MadaraUchiha BTW, how's moderation on Anime&Manga?
 
So... any ideas about my language problem?
 
@MadaraUchiha try removing the language and adding it again
 
1:11 PM
@MinatoNamikaze Cool, we're on the graduation queue
 
Removed
Added again
Nope, still the same :(
 
Probably this problem is reported but the ubuntu-bug system cannot trace it. I have upgraded to 12.04 from 11.10 which was a clean install. My keyboard language-settings (in the login screen as well) were norwegian and greek. However when I installed the 12.04 version my keyboard-layout was changed to english but the keyboard layout manager was showing norwegian. On the keyboard-layout settings I put the english(US) layout and I removed greek and norwegian. Typed a bit and then put norwegian and greek and I removed the english (US) again and chose the Alt-Shift combination for changing layouts. What I get is an unchangable english(US) layout. Important note: My keyboard is US-keyboard. I mean the hardware. P.S. The ubuntu-bug system has a serious bug. When I was looking about the bug on Google I could find the launchpad relevant subject. I wanted to use the ubuntu-bug system in order to report my system's details. Then I could not find the subject again through the launchpa
gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
Low / Confirmed
Similar?
 
@MinatoNamikaze that one was fixed and only affects french keyboard (apparenlty)
@MadaraUchiha greek, right?
 
@AvinashRaj I have answered about that askubuntu.com/questions/444939/cannot-find-package-pymol/….
It's right?
@AvinashRaj I want to you help me, and please edit for my answer.
 
1:20 PM
@Braiam Nope, HEbrew and English
 
@AvinashRaj It's OK?

@Braiam Are you a arabian?
 
1:22 PM
@Braiam Yup, that's Hebrew
 
nope
@MadaraUchiha no repro in debian, so it's unity fault
 
@Braiam I don't think that's the case. Since yesterday it worked perfectly fine until the evening, if you had asked me yesterday I'd say "no repro" too.
 
@MinatoNamikaze can you reproduce it?
 
@Braiam Don't have unity at the moment
running kali linux
:P
 
Hey
Guys.
Great guys.
Just I had answered about a question that askubuntu.com/questions/444939/cannot-find-package-pymol/…
I wish you teach me about my answer.
I want to know a right way to write good answer.
 
1:28 PM
@xiaodongjie looks fine to me:)
 
Thank you. Please teach me, good brothers.
 
Alright, I ran apt-get autoremove and one of the removed packages was gir1.2-ibus-1.0
Sounds meaningful?
 
> This package contains the GObject introspection data which are needed for developing the IBus applications in various programming languages with GObject introspection support.
 
Gah, so much annoying!
 
@MadaraUchiha install ibus ;)
 
1:31 PM
Possible
 
@MadaraUchiha done?
 
@MinatoNamikaze On its way
 
@Rinzwind Thanks. I sent you very and many kisses. Great good brother.
 
Alright, done
Let's see
 
@xiaodongjie i want kisses from your avatar.

@AvinashRaj HiHiHi
 
@AvinashRaj So I answered about the question you focused 5minutes ago.
@AvinashRaj My avatar is very beautiful?
 
This is getting akward.

@MinatoNamikaze akward is what?
 
Alright so with iBus it works
Also I noticed another issue
The tooltips/system menus and overall skin appears to be different
I suspect that Unity had some sort of problem
This is the chrome menu, it wasn't like this before.
 
1:50 PM
@MadaraUchiha i'm scared while looking at your avatar. :(

Q: Apps run as root appearing like win 98 style after installation of gnome 3

spannixI installed Gnome 3 using Ricotz's PPA. Then all windows using sudo and gksu is looking like its running under windows 98. System Specs: Intel Core 2 duo Nvidia 6200 Ubuntu 11.04 I also installed the Adwance theme.

@AvinashRaj That's Madara in his 10 tails Jinchuriki form :P
@MadaraUchiha --^ This used to be the solution
@MadaraUchiha I suggest you remove that image if you do not want your email to be public :)
On recent configurations it can happen that the session settings manager try starting before the login screen one exit leading to have no theme set in the session (nor other settings gnome-settings-daemon is applying to the user configuration) The .xsession-errors log contains that error on configuration hitting the issue: "** (gnome-settings-daemon:1941): WARNING **: You can only run one xsettings manager at a time; exiting"

obviously ME
:/
 
meh, our work still uses 2000...
 
Questions about Heartbleed bug are posted on all SE technology sites.
 
4:43 PM
@Seth I am not sure if you get the joke or not. He obviously isn't using ME.
 
@Braiam is that no need to add i386 architecture for installing i386 packages on Ubuntu 13.10?
 
@jokerdino Like I said, I am so confused now. Like others have said, I didn't expect a joke from the StackStatus account.
Never known Nick to have that much sarcasm either.
 
They are messing with you. I mean ME wasn't any lighter than XP.
 
Well sure.
 
@AvinashRaj only if you are using non-i386 installation of Ubuntu
 
4:48 PM
That reminds me. Our Home PC is still on XP pirated version.
 
@jokerdino those systems are fine
 
Really? Whee
 
yeah since those are compromized anyways you do not need to fear getting compromized :=)
 
just don't access your bank, email, or type your password
 
you mean Ubuntu 64 bit
 
4:50 PM
@Rinzwind +1. Never thought of that.
 
@jokerdino :D
 
@Braiam Stack Exchange chat has this neat feature of automatically converting your password to stars when you type it.

@Braiam My dolphin uses it to browse internet. She doesn't bank on that PC though.

and I through I knew everything about chat.se

@MadaraUchiha I've typed my password before, doesn't happen. Dude, April first was so last week ;P
 
@Braiam my bankaccount is not accesible w/o putting my pincode in a calculator thingy
 
@Rinzwind then turn it upside down?
 
4:53 PM
Even if I put my password in here, I doubt people can recognize it as a password.
I mean it will be like 'RichardStallmanisawesome" and people will laugh it off.
 
D:
Dictionary attack!
 
parse all previous conversation of jokerdino
 
With a GNU/Linux dictionary.
 
Good thing I have that 2-factor auth thingie on!
 
@jokerdino Stack Exchange offers that? :o
 
4:54 PM
That isn't foolproof, but it does help.
 
@MadaraUchiha SE uses OpenID (~Google offers 2-factor auth)
 
@jokerdino Yeah, that much I know (and I use)
 
@jokerdino now we know which company he uses ;)
 
@Seth Hm you need to know my password + have my phone
 
@jokerdino That can be arranged.
 
4:55 PM
thinks he revealed too much.
 
Or we can just kidnap you and beat you senseless with a $5 wrench until you give us your stuff.
 
If you give me $2, I can give you the password.
 
@jokerdino No, I just need to say I forgot my password. Nothing beats social engineering ;)
 
hah
 
4:57 PM
@Seth O_o
 
It's been proven too many times man..
Best example: how I lost @n
 
oh those.
 
@terdon How did I know you would answer that :P
 
I don't have Apple account or Amazon or similar-ish.
 
@Seth which?
Ah the timestamp?
 
4:59 PM
@terdon your latest ;)
 
Good morning!
 
@jokerdino Don't necessarily need one. Two factor auth is still good though.
