| Pika | G'day Xubuntu community! | 09:32 |
| Pika | Is anyone available to help me with my problem? | 09:33 |
| moetunes | welcome to another aussie Pika :] | 09:33 |
| moetunes | just state your issue in here mate | 09:34 |
| Pika | It seems that Xubuntu always randomize my PC's internal clock when I shut it down or restart ect. Why? | 09:35 |
| moetunes | I had that issue - you need to use local time not utc and check the time in the bios | 09:35 |
| Pika | Local Time? I'm using the correct time of my area. I'm kinda new though, so what's "utc"? | 09:37 |
| Pika | Yeah, I checked the BIOS time and realize the time got randomized. | 09:37 |
| moetunes | !utc | 09:38 |
| Pika | Oh! It's the universal time standard. | 09:38 |
| moetunes | yep | 09:39 |
| Pika | What you're saying is, I need to adjust my PC's BIOS Time to local time right? | 09:39 |
| moetunes | yep - but during install you would have had the option of local or utc right? | 09:40 |
| Pika | oh actually, I'm using it from my usb. | 09:41 |
| Pika | sorry about that | 09:41 |
| moetunes | it works like a normal install doesn't it? | 09:41 |
| moetunes | it should... | 09:42 |
| Pika | yes | 09:42 |
| Pika | I normally use the Live, but with Casper RW | 09:42 |
| Pika | Is that why Xubuntu wasn't meant for a Portable OS? | 09:43 |
| moetunes | it might have to do with the way you set it up - unetbootin is the preferred way of setting up a usb install | 09:44 |
| moetunes | xubuntu should be fine on a usb stick | 09:44 |
| Pika | does Unetbootin support persistence? | 09:45 |
| moetunes | that's the point of it - how did you set it up - follow pendrivelinux or similar? | 09:46 |
| moetunes | !unetbootin | 09:46 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 09:46 |
| Pika | whoa! u got it! it's pendrivelinux alright | 09:46 |
| moetunes | k | 09:46 |
| Pika | i'll have a look at your links, ubottus | 09:47 |
| bazhang | !usb | 09:47 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 09:47 |
| moetunes | check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent to see if you missed something | 09:47 |
| bazhang | check the above for persistence | 09:47 |
| bazhang | whoops | 09:47 |
| moetunes | hehe bazhang :] | 09:48 |
| bazhang | moetunes, :) | 09:48 |
| Pika | http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ <<would this one be better? guys? | 09:54 |
| bazhang | I'd check the ubuntu wiki first, then pendrivelinux.com | 09:54 |
| moetunes | check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 09:55 |
| Pika | i followed pendrivelinux's tut | 09:55 |
| Pika | btw, i'm using windows | 09:56 |
| bazhang | you need persistence to boot it from windows machines? | 09:56 |
| moetunes | I thought you were booting to the usb xubuntu install | 09:57 |
| moetunes | is it wubi? | 09:57 |
| bazhang | unetbootin.sourceforge.net has a windows version | 09:57 |
| Pika | here's wat i did. I followed the tut here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-xubuntu-9-10-flash-drive-using-windows/ | 09:57 |
| bazhang | so what's the problem | 09:58 |
| Pika | it always randomized my pc's internal clock | 09:59 |
| bazhang | but otherwise works well? | 09:59 |
| Pika | yeah | 09:59 |
| bazhang | sounds like its not persistent | 09:59 |
| moetunes | or a bug in the way it does the install - it is a new app | 10:00 |
| === ubott2 is now known as ubottu | ||
| bazhang | unetbootin has been around for a while | 10:01 |
| moetunes | +1 unetbootin | 10:01 |
| Pika | yea. i've been wondering. is pendrivelinux managed by one person? | 10:01 |
| bazhang | sometimes take a couple of tries to get it right though | 10:01 |
| moetunes | sometimes the usb stick is borked as well | 10:02 |
| bazhang | it'll hang at 5 percent for a really long time, then be at 60 percent | 10:02 |
| bazhang | Pika, why do you need it to be portable | 10:03 |
| bazhang | as opposed to dual booting or other options | 10:03 |
| Pika | i'm turning 15. i plan to use it at school, library etc | 10:03 |
| moetunes | Pika: I am sure the pendrivelinux app uses utc so on diff comps the time ets borked | 10:05 |
| moetunes | s/ets/gets | 10:05 |
| Pika | i dunno...so far i only tried it on 1 pc | 10:06 |
| moetunes | k | 10:06 |
| Pika | anyway, i going for a restart to test it out again. see ya guys thanks for your help and all that. | 10:06 |
| bazhang | yw :) | 10:06 |
| Pika | G'day Xubuntu Users! | 10:26 |
| bazhang | hi | 10:26 |
| Pika | about this site: http://www.linuxliveusb.com when running the installer, what does it mean by "Enable Launching Linux Live in Windows"? | 10:28 |
| Pika | oh dunno worry. it's only virtualizing option | 10:32 |
| Pika | *don | 10:32 |
| Tesssa | anyone downloaded or upgraded to 10.4 release candidate | 11:30 |
| bazhang | sure, they are in #ubuntu+1 | 11:30 |
| Tesssa | thanks | 11:31 |
| Tesssa | just seen the RC is ready | 11:31 |
| bazhang | yep :) | 11:31 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | Hello I'm looking at this page right now (http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/xubuntu/all ) | 12:06 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | what does "netboot" mean? | 12:07 |
| _Techie_ | !netboot | 12:08 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 12:08 |
| psycho_oreos | booting off network, or installing off network | 12:08 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | ah I'm thinking about downloading the image of the RC but there are like 5 bug symbols behind the image... | 12:12 |

| ooze | Im trying to build a custom xubuntu desktop with vmbuilder.. it works great. However I cant figure out where xubuntu is pulling its desktop icon defaults from... IE when I boot the VM for the first time it allways shows home/trash/file system icons.. | 15:26 |
| ooze | they are not stored in /etc/skel I found that I can remove them from ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen0.rc , which removes them from the desktop.. so I tried created a custom file with my icon set and copying to that file during the vm build. However xubuntu on first boot seems to append its icons(filesystem, home, trash) to the end of my file | 15:29 |
| ooze | if anyone has knowledge as to how the xubuntu handles the first login of a user it would be greatly appreciated | 15:36 |
| psycho_oreos | how do you mean? | 15:41 |

| ooze | Im greping the filesystem now ;) to see if I can get any clues | 15:46 |
| psycho_oreos | tried asking in #xfce as well? | 15:46 |
| ooze | no, Ill ask there. cheers | 15:46 |
