[08:31] <AntiSol> hi everybody!
[08:31] <xubuntu843> Hello. Do you have any help with installation?
[08:32] <AntiSol> not installing, my problem is really weird
[08:32] <AntiSol> I have a weird problem I'm hoping somebody can help me with. I've tried several searches but TBH I'm not sure what I should be searching for. please see this screenshot: http://ibin.co/1usyqRDeRrB0 - note that the zero character seems corrupted when it's dislayed in color. It displays properly in my command and when i use --color=never, but with color enabled it gives this weird character. If I change the font of my termina
[08:32] <AntiSol> l it displays fine, this is only happening when I have the "Monospace" font. If anybody has any ideas I'd be very appreciative :)
[08:33] <xubuntu843> I removed Pidgin, Games and Thnderbird, together with another email program that I don't use in xubuntu 14.04 and now it boots to a grey scren. Can't even CTRL-ALT-T.
[08:34] <AntiSol> that's strange
[08:34] <xubuntu843> I've reinstalled basic to another drive and I'm gonna use the basic installation to pull off my media files and reinstall. What a ball-ache!!
[08:35] <AntiSol> what is ctrl-alt-t supposed to do? I haven't heard of that one before
[08:35] <xubuntu843> Gonna reboot and copy my media over. See ya later!
[08:58] <xubuntu63w> The computer will not longer boot from Xubuntu USB installer. I have try unitbootin and universal usb installer. Enabled f12 boot menu. What can be wrong ?
[19:41] <GeekDude> Can I dual boot 32 bit windows and 64 bit xubuntu?
[19:42] <Unit193> Of course.
[19:42] <GeekDude> just double checking
[19:42] <GeekDude> first I need to make sure I can even boot 64 bit xubuntu
[19:42] <GeekDude> until about an hour ago I thought my computer was 32 bit only
[19:43] <Infant> well u would need to repartition hdd. free up some space with windows disk manager and than make partitions when installing xubuntu
[19:48] <bekks> GeekDude: Boot a 64bit livecd :)
[19:50] <GeekDude> I was gonna do liveusb
[19:52] <GeekDude> Infant: Can the xubuntu not resize the windows parition? Or can it, but windows wouldn't like that
[19:56] <Infant> GeekDude: internet suggest to do resizing for windows, coz there could be some unmoovable bits (which can be moved after omse work) and other tools might not respect that
[20:09] <xubuntu23w> Suddenly, Audacity won't recognize streaming audio.  It has worked flawlessy for recording from the net until now.  It seems the ALSA recording device isn't picking up the streaming audio from the net. I have reloaded Audacity and attempted to update the audio device drivers but don't know what I am doing.   An understnading of the problem and a solution to get Audacity (or other equally useful audio recorder/format converter) w
[20:48] <testo9>  I tried rowhammer test and I really don't understand if I'm concerned or not. If someone can just help me abot this, I don't understand the results of the test.
[20:49] <bekks> What is that "rowhammer test" all about?
[20:49] <testo9> bekks: if you can look this for a sec please https://github.com/google/rowhammer-test
[20:50] <bekks> testo9: Thanks. So whats the result for you?
[20:52] <testo9> bekks: "Iteration" running forever.. I don't if this means there are not bit flips or something
[20:52] <testo9> *know
[20:53] <bekks> "The test allocates a large block of memory. It repeatedly picks >2 random addresses within the block, hammers them, and then checks the block for bit flips. If it sees a bit flip, it exits. If it never sees a bit flip, it will run forever."
[20:53] <bekks> That answers your question, doesnt it? :)
[20:53] <testo9> bekks: yes I was just doubting because of my bad english thank you
[22:18] <DMRadford> Hello everybody. I'm in need of some assistance, possibly paid. I need to set up a basic server running redmine and subversion (integrated). Anybody know of a turnkey solution?
[22:48] <okapiden> Hello. I'm one of apparently a billion people whohave problems with their backlight, and I don't know wat to do anymore.
[22:49] <okapiden> ls /sys/class/backlight returns acpi_video0 intel_backlight
[22:49] <okapiden> editing grub with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor" didn't help either
[22:58] <ObrienDave> well, since you have not stated what your backlight issue is, it is next to impossible for anyone to actually offer you appropriate help and advice
[23:02] <okapiden> Here it is: http://itsfoss.com/fix-brightness-ubuntu-1310/
[23:03] <okapiden> except that it's not working. At least not for me. It being the fix on the site.
[23:03] <okapiden> I can't change the brightness of my backlight at all.
[23:04] <ObrienDave> hmm, i don
[23:05] <okapiden> Neither with the function keys, nor with the mouse and the plugin for the task-bar
[23:05] <ObrienDave> hmm, i don't know anything about that issue. you can try asking in #ubuntu. more people there to help
[23:06] <okapiden> hmm ok, thanks!
