[00:04] part [01:07] hello [01:08] is this channel engish or spanish [01:08] anybody here [01:08] Hello, arturorene . this is an english channel. [01:08] !es [01:08] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [01:08] You can use whichever one you want to. [01:10] I will try english [01:10] okay [01:10] ok, I have a problem [01:11] I have a mini-netbook [01:11] with windows CE [01:11] I need a linux OS for that [01:11] I am even not sure about the capacity [01:12] Sounds like a good candidate for either the Ubuntu Netbook edition or Xubuntu. [01:12] I think is less than 1g [01:12] xubuntu might be too much, though [01:13] that mini came from china, so maybe could be a fake [01:13] Netbook edition is made for those small machines. It tries to keep the display down for them, too. [01:13] http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/daily-live/current/ [01:13] hmm, could be a fake. [01:14] I mean, maybe only have 500 mb [01:14] but I am not sure [01:15] Xubuntu will work, I think. but I think the netbook edition is better, because of the screen size [01:15] the only access I have is trough windows CE and I don't trust in what it say [01:16] heh, I don't run windows at all, myself [01:17] because that mini don't have bios. Do you know where can I find any idea on how to install ubuntu? [01:18] let me look [01:20] this version of ubuntu run on any procesor? [01:21] any intel processor [01:21] !netbook [01:22] my is ARM [01:23] Take a look at - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes/es [01:23] I think there is a special version for ARM [01:26] ok [01:26] That should help you to at least find the right version. [01:27] thank you so much charlie for all your support and help [01:27] you are welcome. Good luck with that mini. [01:27] thank you again [04:30] hello? [04:31] i just switched from ubuntu to xubuntu (fresh install), and I dont seem to have permissions on my own computer. [04:31] i'm just trying to adjust swappiness and add themes, but it's not working. anyone know why? [04:33] are you using sudo ? [04:34] yes [04:34] well no, gksudo [04:36] are you trying to edit a file - gksudo mousepad /path/to/file [04:38] i'm typing gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf [04:38] it's not opening with that command though. when i navigate to the /etc folder manually i can open the config file, but it won't let me save any changes. [04:38] gedit doesn't come with xubuntu by default - use mousepad instead :] [04:38] let me try that... [04:39] ah, i'm retarded. thanks buddy! [04:40] np :] [04:41] last question....I need to make sure I DO NOT put a # before vm.swappiness=10. correct? [04:42] correct in a file like that # is a comment [04:42] which means the line will be ignored [04:43] done. thanks friend. #xubuntu is much more gentlemanly than #ubuntu. bit of a madhouse on that side. [04:43] have a good night. i'm off. [04:43] bye [06:07] is there a place where programms log? my mathemtica doesnt start anymore, i can see a process in top and it starts in terminal but not the usual way [06:12] maybe something hidden in your home folder or /var/log/ [06:15] cant find, in var log are a lot of different logs [06:23] the dew lay heavy upon the remote rainforest canopy known as...xubuntu! [06:26] tried booting with the last kernel, doesnt start still [06:26] strange stuff [09:48] Sysi, morning [09:48] and any other around [09:49] need advice! the top and bottom panels disappeared in the night - how to replace them?

I've tried sox, ffmpeg, soundconverter, all fail. I've added the medibuntu repositories, and installed lame. === Ileden_ is now known as Ileden [12:28] sound converter failed? [12:29] I think you need the gstreamer-something [12:29] !mp3 [12:29] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [13:13] bazhang: soundconverter said "lame" element not found, disabling MP3 [13:13] Ileden, tried installing lame? [13:14] yes, same message [13:14] but I'll read through the RestrictedFormats... funny i never encountered that with my googling [13:14] libmp3lame0 that installed ? [13:16] why my xubuntu did not update to 10.10? :c thought it ask me if i want to? [13:17] (support in german prefered) [13:17] :> [13:17] !de [13:17] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [13:17] ty [13:17] check to make sure it does not check for LTS only [13:18] if your current system works, i recommend staying in it [13:18] it hang up after a few min viewing a video [13:19] :( [13:19] first time i use linux [13:19] wow, thats pretty bad. and unusual [13:20] that hanging or that i use linux but now [13:20] bazhang: i'll try installing the whole set from xubuntu-restricted-extras, see if that does the job [13:20] evtl: hanging :) [13:20] ^^ [13:21] where i can check the options for LTS? [13:21] update-manager? [13:22] evtl: system->update manager [13:23] think i found it [13:24] evtl: did that fix the issue? does your system now ask if you want to upgrade to 10.10? [13:25] had to restart [13:25] :( [13:27] yeah found it [13:29] should i install a antivirusprogram? if yes, which? [13:29] evtl, no need [13:30] but i heard of more virus? [13:30] :x [13:30] no [13:31] k [13:32] you basically *can't* get your linux broken/unsafe if you don't browse internet logged in as root and install random software from internet [13:41] nobody cares to write linux viruses. The platform is more secure so it's harder, and it has minimal amount of users. Compare this to the wide open world of silly windows users who click through any security warning - its just so much worth the effort [13:41] i'm almost eagerly waiting for first osx-viruses [13:42] ^^ [13:42] this is my windows 7 pc :x [13:42] i have 7 installed but i forgot it often, never using it [13:42] Nothing (technically) wrong with Windows 7, as long as you know what you're doing. [13:43] but usability.. [13:43] all in all i like win7 [13:43] and DRM.. [13:43] like, not open random attachments, and install whatever programs you encounter from the net [13:43] much more than vista [13:43] and xp [13:43] bazhang: yes, that's more of an ethical than technical problem. [13:43] i could use 7, i don't want to [13:44] Ileden: it can be technical problem [13:45] the main reason for me is, that iam not so ambitious to make alle programs i need run on linux^^ [13:45] Sysi: well, it of course could be if implemented wrong. but as long as it does what's intended, its an ethical problem to me [13:46] probably the best "security" feature of linux is that software is installed from verified packages via unified package management. [13:46] i wish DRM worked always as it should [13:46] Sysi: well, i don't think it's very broken in Win7... thouhg not really an expert on that [13:47] not very badly i think [13:47] TheSheep: Hey! thanks for the restrictedformats link, ffmpeg started to work! [13:48] bazhang: could be what i was missing was the library you suggested, which probably was includedn in the restricteformats package. [13:48] Ileden, could be [14:41] hi [14:42] what is the minimal ram requested to instalel xubuntu ? [14:42] my laptop has 500 [14:42] mb [14:42] 256? [14:42] and let it work - 256MB for one app at a time [14:43] how would it work with 256? [14:43] ok [14:43] slow [14:43] thanks [15:27] Hello === willie_ is now known as Guest43297 [15:28] Hello [15:31] facepalm.png [15:42] my system crashes after nearly 2min of viewing a video, and idea why? [15:43] evtl, how much ram? [15:43] ~500 [15:43] and is it your system or the video play that crashes? [15:43] the system [15:44] freezed screen [15:44] does the data dump tell you anything?

[15:59] ummm.... [16:00] spikes are when the usage jumps high [16:00] are [16:00] a [16:00] ahh [16:00] ^^ [16:00] now it works [16:00] hmm [16:03] were you watching in fullscreen b4? [16:04] no [16:04] i'll do it if iam able to see the whole film now [16:04] to test [16:07] then its the "tech phenomenon" ....

[16:09] the system freezes [16:09] cant move the mouse [16:09] it could be a bad file [16:09] the video? [16:10] right [16:10] i watched different videos [16:10] and on this computer inwatched them [16:10] and it worked [16:11] so on this system, no issues...and on the problem machine all videos freeze?

[16:25] ? [16:25] coz im stupid or dunnoi how to help me with the problem? [16:25] dunno what to do to fix issue [16:26] ^^ [16:26] maybe another linux version? [16:26] they "it works" system...what OS is on it? [16:26] win7^^ [16:27] ok [16:27] so it probably is a plugin issue [16:27] with avi & mpg [16:27] ? [16:27] i dont know how to install the plugins for the video players you use.... [16:28] ^^ [16:28] i use gxine and libxine plugins and have no problems [16:28] but "standard" *buntu use gstreamer plugins [16:28] i searched for gxine but found no exe :x [16:28] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gxine [16:28] ?

I installed gnome-shell and I'd basically like to be able to choose between a "gnome-shell session" and an xfce session [16:30] I want to use gnome-shell as my window manager but I'd like to keep using thunar and my existing program [16:30] sorry, mistyped [16:30] does anyone have any advice? [16:31] "sudo apt-get install gxine" [16:33] and "sudo apt-get install libxine1-all-plugins [16:34] evtl, you may need to add universe and multiverse sources [16:35] evtl, as an aside...windows OS's dont play most video codex out-of-the-box either [16:42] so [16:42] now gxine [16:43] :( [16:43] freezing [16:44] evtl, now im REALLY at a loss [16:45] "you may need to add universe and multiverse sources" [16:45] i didnt do it [16:45] maybe it helps? [16:45] no.... [16:45] hm :/ [16:45] maybe i should try another distribution? [16:45] those sources are for getting applications not in the "main" repos [16:46] evtl, im suspecting the files may be at cause [16:46] you can try another distribution, but i suspect you will have the same issues [16:46] in a what way it freezes, what graphics card?

[20:05] !anyone [20:05] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [20:06] all of us. [20:07] ok I can not get the log in and log out sound to work on my Dell laptop can you tell me where I go to enable log in sounds? I already have gone to the log in screen properties and ticked the box that says enable log in sounds but still it is silent when I start up xubuntu [20:10] Also can you tell me where I would go to find where you can select even sounds like the error wave or any other wave or ogg sound event files? [20:17] guess not === MichealH is now known as Guest7335 === Guest7335 is now known as MichealH [21:23] i verified a problem with 10.10 in #ubuntu, the wireless driver ath9k for atheros wireless pci is somewhat faulty [21:23] anyone else recognized this problem ? [23:02] I have a problem: My computer has onboard intel video and I want to use a pci nvidia card -- problem is bios doesn't let you disable onboard, but lets you set the priority of PCI card to be higher - this results in a kernel panic crash when I try to boot any kind of linux because it sees both cards. How can I make it only see my PCI card and not my onboard? [23:06] maybe if you blacklisted intel driver(s) [23:07] Sysi so my understanding is install Xubuntu with onboard, blacklist intel?, put in new video card, switch bios to make video card higher priority and boot up with monitor connected to new card? [23:07] do I need to install any nvidia drivers before I put in the card? [23:07] and what module do I blacklist, I tried intel_agp and that didn't seem todo it [23:09] nvidia should work somewhat well by default [23:10] you could maybe somehow see from livecd what driver is used [23:10]
