[00:03] <NSP>  im installing the system-config-samba package, thanks anyway
[00:04] <NSP> im new in xubuntu, i was using slackware for some years ... somethings are a little different :)
[00:04] <GridCube> :D thats to be expected
[00:17] <xubuntu260> HI
[00:17] <xubuntu260> ?
[02:38] <CellTech> Ok. I maxed out the ram for my system. It is an older system. It's now at 1gb and my xubuntu is still slow and lagging. wth could be the issue now?
[02:39] <likemindead> Slow all the time or just certain tasks?
[02:44] <CellTech> Slow all the time
[02:44] <CellTech> Sorry had to take a phone call
[02:44] <likemindead> Processor?
[02:49] <CellTech> 2.4
[02:50] <CellTech> intel 2.4gb, 120gb harddrive, 1gb ram
[02:57] <likemindead> I've got Xubuntu 11.10 running great on just such machines, CellTech.
[03:10] <xubuntu880> necesito ayuda
[03:12] <xubuntu880> hello
[03:17] <jgmdev> hola
[03:17] <jgmdev> creo que deberias usar el canal de xubuntu-es
[03:19] <jgmdev> xubuntu880, aunque por otra parte ese canal esta casi vacio
[03:25] <orangeninja> how can i tell if my /swap partition is mounted? It show 0 of 5105MB used in a panel item right now.
[03:26] <jgmdev> free -m -t
[03:26] <xubuntu880> so i can speak english
[03:27] <xubuntu880> i have a problem with efi in xubuntu
[03:27] <xubuntu880> dont boot
[03:29] <orangeninja> yep, swap: 5105 total, 0 used, 5106 free
[03:29] <orangeninja> so how do I mount it?
[03:30] <jgmdev> well linux doesnt uses swap unless it is really necessary so dont worry if it reads 0 used
[03:31] <jgmdev> in any case the command to mount a swap partition is swapon /dev/to_mount
[03:31] <jgmdev> but it seems you already have it mounted
[03:32] <orangeninja> that might be the case, I am using 4gb ram in this laptop. but I have noticed hangs here and there with mozilla on youtube sometimes so that's what made me think about it.
[03:32] <jgmdev> thats mostly due to flash player
[03:33] <jgmdev> 4gigs is a lot so dont expect the swap to be used if you are doing light work on that laptop
[03:33] <orangeninja> ok, just overzelouse I guess.
[03:33] <jgmdev> maybe the video card drivers are the cause of crashes
[03:34] <orangeninja> yeah, so far pretty light just 4 or 5 tabs open at a time.
[03:34] <orangeninja> no crash, just a few seconds stutter.
[03:35] <orangeninja> what is the nvidia package I need to check? I am using one of there mobile cards 800m I think'
[03:35] <jgmdev> I have tested intel, nvidia and ati and so far intel has the most compatible drivers, then ati and nvidia in my experience with flash player and videos
[03:44] <jgmdev> there are about 3 nvidia packages nvidia-96 for older hardware, nvidia-173 fore newer and nvidia-current I think nvidia-current should work for you but I'm not sure
[03:45] <jgmdev> usually the additional drivers application should assist you on that
[03:46] <jgmdev> System Menu -> Settings -> Additional Drivers
[03:56] <orangeninja> laptop is abot 4 years old. hp dv6775us
[04:02] <jgmdev> the best bet is to use Additional Drivers application since it automatically checks on a database a installs the correct propietary binary driver
[04:03] <jgmdev> you can also go to nvidia.com and download the driver to install manually but kernel upgrade will break it forcing you to reinstall the driver from the terminal
[04:15] <xuserx> hi
[04:16] <xuserx> will xubuntu 12.04 use xfce4.10?
[04:16] <xuserx> :-D
[04:17] <xuserx> xfce 4.10 will be release on April 28th, 2012.
[04:25] <Artemis3> xuserx, i don't think so, but there is a ppa around...
[04:25] <xuserx> ok
[04:31] <ball> Is there any way to get more information about what Xubuntu is doing while it displays the knight-rider/cylon thing on ths splash screen?  I have some data I'd like to rescue and it doesn't look as though it's ever going to get past that.
[04:34] <Artemis3> i would remove "splash" from the grub line, then you could also remove "quiet".
[04:34] <Artemis3> else use the recovery option
[04:35] <Artemis3> just chose boot normaly when the menu appears, it happens to not use splash/quiet
[04:38] <ball> Artemis3: I've no idea how to get to that. I tried hot-keying to a text console, but they're not responding to keystrokes.
[04:38] <ball> :-(
[04:39] <Artemis3> reboot and hold SHIFT, you should see the grub menu, choose the recovery option
[04:39] <Artemis3> after that will come a menu, pick the first choice (iirc) recume normally or something to those lines
[04:40] <orangeninja> thank for the help guys and jgmdev ! have a good one.
[04:40] <jgmdev> bye :)
[04:41] <ball> I never got to the grub menu, but I hit the reset button on the PC and it's now back at the Xubuntu desktop
[04:42] <ball> Next thing I should do is backup the photos I uploaded from a camera this morning.
[04:42] <ball> Thanks for the help Artemis3
[04:42] <Artemis3> when you reboot the machine, you should press shift and keep it pressed until you see the grub menu
[04:43] <Artemis3> pick recovery, when the menu comes, there is an option for fsck all disks, maybe you should do that...
[04:44] <ball> I tried holding down shift, but didn't get the menu. That may be because of my keyboard though.
[04:44] <ball> It's a USB keyboard from an old CRT iMac
[04:44] <Artemis3> ball, in the future dont use reset, try ctrl alt del first (and wait a while), in emergency, push alt sysrq (print screen) keep pushing those 2 keys and type reisub (slowly)
[04:45] <Artemis3> it might be left shift
[04:45] <ball> I tried Ctrl+Alt+Del before resorting to reset
[04:45] <Artemis3> i think there is another one let me check
[05:22] <xubuntu038> Is everyone asleep?
[05:26] <Wizard> hi
[05:48] <tnk1> hi peoples, question... when I lock the screen, the screen goes blank/black as it should, but one section of the screen where there was a youtube video in chrome still SHOWS THE YOUTUBE VIDEO FRAME (nothing else of the chrome page), in the otherwise black/locked monitor! what in the world???
[05:50] <tnk1> that window of chrome isn't even maximized on the desktop or the active tab in that window of chrome!
[05:57] <Wizard> tnk1, do you use OpenGL screensaver?
[05:58] <Wizard> does it happen in other browsers too?
[05:58] <Wizard> s/in/with/
[06:12] <tnk1> Wizard: I have compizconfig up.. how do I tell?
[06:13] <tnk1> Wizard: I actually just went to unclick/disable opengl in compizconfig settings manager, and that whole settings mgr prog crashed.. hm..
[06:13] <tnk1> should I uninstall opengl or compizconfig or something?
[06:13] <Wizard> what has compizconfig to do with screensaver?
[06:13] <Wizard> I didn't say anything like this
[06:13] <tnk1> I don't know. how do I tell if I am using opengl screensaver?
[06:14] <Wizard> 1. which screensaver do you use, 2. does this happen with other browsers?
[06:14] <tnk1> what else screensaver would I be using?
[06:14] <Wizard> check in settings :)
[06:14] <tnk1> where in settings
[06:14] <Wizard> opengl screensavers are named glsomething
[06:14] <Wizard> in screensaver settings
[06:15] <tnk1> I'm literally just using "blank screen only"
[06:16] <Wizard> hmm
[06:17] <Wizard> do you have ati gfx card?
[06:19] <Wizard> since I have no idea why such things happen :)
[06:19] <Wizard> the only thing which I have in mind is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_overlay
[06:20] <tnk1> no. nvidia card. it works fine in previous iterations of xubuntu and kernel.. i updated things today.. fuuh
[06:20] <tnk1> is there a better screensaver program to use instead of xfscreensaver or wahtever xfce naturally uses?
[06:22] <Wizard> gnome screensaver, but I bet problem lies deeper :(
[06:23] <Wizard> if you use blank screen only, than go to xscreensaver settings
[06:24] <Wizard> go to "advanced" tab and select "Quick power-off in blank only mode"
[06:27] <Wizard> dirty workarround :S
[06:27] <tnk1> Wizard: can xfce be made to use the gnome-screensaver once I uninstall xscreensaver?
[06:28] <Wizard> sure, but first try my workarround, this should "help"
[06:28] <tnk1> that's not a viable solutin
[06:28] <tnk1> solution
[06:28] <Wizard> at least video won't be visible
[06:28] <tnk1> that just shuts off the screen saver
[06:28] <tnk1> and monitor
[06:28] <tnk1> yeah, that's not going to work
[06:28] <tnk1> i dont want to be flicking the backlight on it so much
[06:29] <Wizard> ok, than you may try gnome-screensaver, but I don't expect it to work any better
[06:29] <Wizard> hmm
[06:29] <tnk1> how do I get gnome-screensaver to come on automatically wheni n xfce session?
[06:31] <Wizard> hmm
[06:31] <Wizard> good question
[06:37] <Wizard> hmm.. I did it once, just by installing gnome-screensaver and removing xscreensaver
[06:37] <Wizard> btw, they share some packages, so watch out :)
[07:31] <Wizard> tnk1, does it work now?
[08:30] <projekt26> is there a way to upgrade to the 12.04 beta from my 11.10 install?
[08:36] <Wizard> yes, alt+f2, update-manager -d
[08:37] <Wizard> are you willing to help with bugreporting?
[08:38] <projekt26> no I just want to be a hipster using 12.04 before all my friends do :)
[08:38] <projekt26> thanks btw
[08:39] <Wizard> your welcome ;)
[08:40] <Wizard> remember to backup essential files before you start
[08:41] <projekt26> will do
[08:41] <Wizard> knome, is that any better? :>
[08:41] <knome> Wizard, :P
[08:41] <knome> sure
[08:42] <Wizard> I'm so angry, that I'm calm
[08:42] <Wizard> int overflowed
[08:50] <azeam> will 12.04 (well, thunar) have support for ubuntu one?
[08:52] <knome> no
[08:52] <azeam> ok, thanks
[10:24] <Kaapa> hello
[10:24] <Kaapa> is there a way to change the timezone without logging out / in?
[10:40] <Wizard> sure
[10:41] <Wizard> http://mylinuxnotebook.blogspot.com/2008/07/changing-ubuntu-time-zone.html
[10:41] <Wizard> here you are, Kaapa
[10:42] <Wizard> hmm
[10:44] <Kaapa> Wizard: lemme try - I just don't want to relogin
[10:45] <Kaapa> nah, I've done that
[10:45] <Kaapa> actually
[10:45] <Wizard> and what, nothing?
[10:45] <Wizard> so, what does date say now?
[10:46] <Kaapa> same
[10:48] <Kaapa> doesnm change
[10:48] <Kaapa> bah
[10:57] <Wizard> hmm
[11:37] <xubuntu278> i have hardware of P-IV 2.0 and 512 MB ram
[11:37] <xubuntu278> will xubuntu work well on it
[11:40] <Wizard> it should
[11:40] <Wizard> oop
[16:12] <xubuntu5> when playing back a full 1080p video i see motion blur like horizontal lines going up and down ever so slightly during high impact scenes
[16:39] <bepebe> hello, my scrolling seems to be very fast in all aspects of windows that can scroll. I have a tweak for Firefox that slows it down, but browsing folders, or other applications results in very erratic scrolling if the slightest move on the scroll wheel
[17:16] <bepebe> Hello, I am trying to delete folders from a NTFS permission, and I am getting a "Unable to find or create wastebasket directory" error - http://i40.tinypic.com/2637evp.png can anybody help ?
[17:19] <baizon> bepebe: try shift+del
[17:21] <bepebe> baizon, thanks, does that mean they do not go to the wastebasket at all? do I need to set permissions on the wastebasket to allows the NTFS partition to write to it ?>
[17:23] <baizon> there seems to be a problem with your trash
[17:23] <baizon> check if the directory is there
[17:24] <baizon> http://wiki.xfce.org/faq
[17:24] <baizon> there you got it
[17:25] <bepebe> yeah folder is there
[17:25] <baizon> there? ~/.local/share/Trash/files
[17:25] <bepebe> yeah
[17:27] <baizon> so, the sollution for your problem is...
[17:27] <bepebe> delete it and re-create it ?
[17:27] <baizon> Step 1:open thunar as root
[17:27] <baizon> Step 2:go to home/.local/share
[17:27] <baizon> Step 3:change permissions on Thrash folder (and all folders inside,of course)
[17:28] <baizon> damn battlefield finishd loading
[17:28] <baizon> bepebe: or
[17:29] <bepebe> changed the permissions and still the same
[17:29] <baizon> bepebe: then this sollution is right
[17:29] <baizon> Make a directory in the root of the NTFS drive with the name  .Trash-[your user id number].  Typically, that would be '.Trash-1000'  but you can type 'id' in a terminal to check.
[17:29] <baizon> In the terminal:  sudo chown -R [your user name]:users  .Trash-[your user id number]
[17:29] <baizon> par example:
[17:29] <baizon> mkdir .Trash-1000
[17:29] <baizon> sudo chown -R admin:users .Trash-1000
[17:29] <f11f12> how can I disable the automount "feature"?
[17:30] <baizon> f11f12: settings
[17:31] <f11f12> not the file manager popup, I really want to stop if from mounting
[17:31] <baizon> why that?
[17:32] <f11f12> because I'd like to have raw access (I have a udev rule that calls a script)
[17:32] <baizon> f11f12: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB
[17:32] <baizon> this?
[17:32] <f11f12> well this disables only the file viewer to open...
[17:33] <f11f12> it still gets mounted on /media/...
[17:33] <bepebe> baizon, the latter fixes the error, but does a permanent delete (like a shift+delete) I'd ideally like the option to restore if possible..
[17:35] <baizon> bepebe: i think its a bug
[17:35] <baizon> but im not sure
[17:35] <baizon> workd with xfce 4.6
[17:35] <bepebe> as far as I am aware, I'm on 4.6 - I appreciate your help nonetheless
[17:36] <baizon> f11f12: http://superuser.com/questions/69155/disable-automounting-in-ubuntu
[17:36] <baizon> that?
[17:36] <baizon> bepebe: sorry not using mixed ntfs that much
[17:37] <f11f12> baizon: I gave up, my rules file now unmounts it :-)
[17:39] <baizon> hehe ok
[17:39] <Wizard> hi
[18:09] <Ahix> Hi everyone. I got a question: I'm using pidgin on a xubuntu-like desktop but i have no idea how to use the webcam and microphone in it... help ?
[18:09] <Xubuntu> Hey... I screwed up my x.conf somehow and now I can't get the my xubuntu system to boot. So, try to log in to recovery to copy the backup file but the system tells me that it's a read only file syste... "su cp x.conf.back x.conf"?
[18:10] <Wizard> Ahix, xubuntu-like?
[18:10] <Wizard> Xubuntu, sudo cp...
[18:11] <Wizard> btw, why do you need xorg.conf?
[18:11] <Ahix> Wizard, yeah i'm running "voyager 11.10"
[18:11] <Artemis3> Ahix, sounds like a job for... #pidgin? ;)
[18:11] <Wizard> voyager? :D
[18:11] <Artemis3> the final frontier...
[18:11] <Ahix> Artemis3, didn't knew that chann' exist :D
[18:12] <baizon> xubuntu: boot from livecd than mount and change it
[18:12] <Xubuntu> because the x system won't start and it's log file tells me something about the x.conf file is broken (I'm booted to windows now 'cuz I needed to get some work done so I don't remember exactly what the problem was)
[18:13] <baizon> Ahix: http://www.ehow.com/how_8624219_detect-webcam-xubuntu.html
[18:13] <baizon> and check dmesg for errors or something like that
[18:15] <Artemis3> i would try the camera with cheese first, and if it works then comes the part of making it work with pidgin
[18:15] <baizon> Artemis3: yes the same thing is on the link i posted :D
[18:15] <Ahix> baizon, Tanks i'll check this out
[18:16] <baizon> i just was to lazy to write it :D
[18:16] <baizon> np
[18:58] <hhbjjhb> how do I share files and folders with a windows pc without manually editing samba config?
[19:00] <hhbjjhb> Settings -> Personal File Sharing  says "this feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system". what is required besides the samba package?
[19:01] <dahm> Hi everyone! I have just installed Xubuntu 11.10 on an old laptop and can't get Flash to work on Firefox although I've tried every possible installation with Flash-aid. Can you help? Be aware that I'm a newbie in the linux world ;-) Thx
[19:02] <hhbjjhb> nevermind
[19:06] <Wizard> dahm, installing flashplugin-installer package usually helps
[19:06] <Wizard> ;)
[19:08] <dahm> Wizard, via Synaptic package manager ?
[19:08] <baizon> dahm: yes or terminal
[19:09] <dahm> remember i'm a newbie ;-) i'll try the manager first unless you have a command I can copy
[19:09] <baizon> dahm: ok, so type in the terminal... sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[19:09] <baizon> then enter your password :)
[19:11] <dahm> thx, I got 2 errors messages but it's in french so that won't help you. how can i switch to the english interface?
[19:13] <Pici> dahm: LANG=C sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[19:13] <dahm> no that's ok, it was because i had left the manager open, it's running now
[19:17] <dahm> ok, installation flashplugin-installer worked fine but still no flash in firefox
[19:20] <baizon> dahm: is something present in the plugins / addons tab?
[19:20] <dahm> which tab? in firefox?
[19:21] <baizon> yes
[19:21] <baizon> extras
[19:21] <baizon> addons
[19:21] <baizon> then plugins
[19:21] <baizon> dahm: which version of xubuntu do you got 32 or 64?
[19:22] <dahm> baizon : 32 bits
[19:23] <dahm> baizon: i don't have the same menus in french but i found a screen to manage plugins : it says more or less "plugin currently being used : shockwave flash adobe flash player (installer)"
[19:24] <baizon> so flash is installed
[19:24] <dahm> if i look at all plugins there's also a futuresplash player adobe flash player not currently used
[19:25] <baizon> so enable it
[19:26] <baizon> type in the adress bar about:plugins
[19:26] <baizon> and check for flash
[19:26] <baizon> http://nxadm.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/about_plugins.png
[19:26] <baizon> like this
[19:29] <dahm> ok, i got the screen. the info is very similar to your screenshot. do you need to know the differences?
[19:29] <baizon> yes
[19:29] <baizon> upload it :D
[19:29] <Wizard> :)
[19:30] <mcdonc_> i know gnome 3 is meant to have a screen recorder built into it.. it doesnt appear that it works under gnome session in 12.04 though, is there any trick to enable it?
[19:30] <baizon> mcdonc_: wrong channel ^^
[19:31] <Wizard> seem so ^^
[19:31] <baizon> 1. no gnome 3 support here, 2. no ubuntu support
[19:31] <Guest69790> Hello! Anybody speak Russian?
[19:31] <baizon> no
[19:31] <dahm> i'm chatting on a different pc ;-) differences: file says only libflashplayer.so, shockwave flash 11.2r202 and no "enabled" column
[19:32] <bazhang> !ru
[19:32]  * Wizard a bit
[19:32] <bazhang> Guest69790, ^
[19:32] <baizon> dahm: indeed
[19:32] <baizon> so check addons for enabled
[19:33] <dahm> how do i dpo that?
[19:33] <mcdonc_> baizon: sure enough, sorry!
[19:33] <baizon> mcdonc_: no problem :)
[19:33] <baizon> http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mHqAnkQGhkE/S9wvuKmBzJI/AAAAAAAAHaw/GiCn0tOZf7s/s1600/screenshot_025.png
[19:34] <baizon> this window (or in this case it will be a tab) you need
[19:34] <baizon> there will be a enable / disable button. check it
[19:36] <dahm> ok, in this screen  i find only 2 add-ons : icedtea-web plugin and shockwave flash, no futureSplash, do i disable Shockwave?
[19:36] <baizon> no
[19:36] <baizon> are they enabled
[19:36] <Wizard> hmm
[19:36] <dahm> yes, i suppose since the only button is "diable"
[19:37] <dahm> disable
[19:37] <baizon> so flash is installed :)
[19:37] <baizon> it should work
[19:37] <Wizard> hmm
[19:37] <dahm> fine, i'm happy to know it :-D
[19:37] <baizon> check with youtube
[19:38] <dahm> yes, it's how i tested it from the beginning but always black screen in youtube
[19:38] <Unit193> Additionally, you can use the HTML5 trial of youtube. http://youtube.com/html5
[19:39] <baizon> yeah im using it
[19:39] <baizon> love html5 :)
[19:40] <dahm> no change with html5
[19:40] <dahm> ah no, it works
[19:40] <baizon> very good
[19:40] <baizon> job done
[19:44] <dahm> thanks! but it's working for some videos and not others! maybe it's a question of performance: when it works, the video is not smooth
[19:44] <baizon> dahm: disable HD
[19:44] <baizon> flash for linux is just crap
[19:45] <dahm> how do i do that? fyi my laptop is old, that's why i installed xubuntu
[19:46] <baizon> dahm: dont use it or on youtube use max 480p
[19:46] <baizon> i got performance problems with my dual-core cpu with 720p
[19:47] <dahm> :-( first thing first, how do i disable HD?
[19:48] <baizon> like i said, on youtube it is the lower right corner
[19:48] <baizon> there you can change it
[19:48] <baizon> in some cases you cant change it
[19:49] <dahm> yes, i've seen in other instances, on other pcs, but not here
[19:49] <baizon> it has to be there
[19:51] <dahm> i have four buttons in the lower right corner : parameters, clock, small player, big player, full screen
[19:51] <ThePendulum1> Greetings
[19:52] <dahm> and only on videos that work (with bad performances) on those with black screen it's really black, nothing, no button. Should I disable html?
[19:52] <ThePendulum1> I have a 'Videos' directory, filled with subdirectories and videos. Now... I need to add the proper extension to each file. Is there a way to bulk-do this?
[19:52] <dahm> sorry, html5?
[19:55] <dahm> i've changed screen resolution to 640x480, no change for those youtube videos which don't even start loading
[19:55] <baizon> dahm: you can do that :)
[19:57] <bepebe> is there a xfce gui menu editor ?
[19:57] <baizon> bepebe: yes
[19:57] <ThePendulum1> baizon: It isn't any good, now is it?
[19:58] <baizon> bepebe: alacarte
[19:58] <baizon> bepebe: but it only works with >= xubuntu 12.04
[19:58] <knome> s/works/works perfectly/
[19:58] <bepebe> baizon, have to wait couple of days then, thanks once again..
[19:59] <dahm> works better with html5 ;-)
[19:59] <baizon> np
[20:00] <dahm> "np"? what does it mean?
[20:00] <knome> "no problem"
[20:00] <baizon> np = no problem
[20:00] <dahm> :-)
[20:00] <baizon> too lazy to write the whole words :P
[20:00] <xubuntu992> HI guys
[20:01] <knome> hullo
[20:01] <dahm> well, we've established my flash player was a performance problem... No other idea to improve the performance? change of browser?
[20:02] <knome> dahm, well yeah, firefox takes quite a lot of memory, so you could try that
[20:02] <baizon> ThePendulum1: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/working-with-files-and-folders
[20:03] <baizon> dahm: that wont help
[20:03] <baizon> flash is just bad
[20:03] <baizon> when you have weak hardware
[20:03] <baizon> but you can try chromium
[20:04] <xubuntu992> I'll install the today build (23/04), if I use this, no seria necesario por que actualizar con la iso de la version final, ¿verdad?
[20:04] <knome> baizon, well firefox easily takes 500MB...
[20:04] <knome> xubuntu992, english please
[20:04] <baizon> yes indeed
[20:04] <xubuntu992> I'll install the today build (23/04), if I use this, would not be necessary because the iso update the final version, right?
[20:04] <dahm> but flash is everywhere :-( that's a major setback for me to switch to linux :-( my lapto has 512MB
[20:04] <baizon> xubuntu992: no
[20:04] <baizon> you will be fine
[20:05] <baizon> it will update to the final
[20:05] <xubuntu992> yes, sorry knome
[20:05] <ThePendulum1> baizon: Kudos for understanding that
[20:05] <xubuntu992> thanks baizon
[20:05] <knome> xubuntu992, no problem
[20:05] <baizon> dahm: yes but if you install windows xp then flash wont work either
[20:06] <ThePendulum1> baizon: Thanks, but I can't really find a way to solve the issue
[20:06] <baizon> "open with..."?
[20:06] <xubuntu992> leave it installed version today, so I avoid the collapse of the servers
[20:06] <baizon> then it will be default for all files
[20:07] <xubuntu992> thanks !
[20:07] <baizon> xubuntu992: np
[20:07] <ThePendulum1> baizon: That won't add the proper extension I'm afraid. I am using a program that can't recognize the files if there's no visual extension
[20:07] <knome> ThePendulum1, i suppose it'll take some bash scripting
[20:07] <dahm> ok, thanks for everything baizon and the others
[20:12] <baizon> ok next attempt to run my game :P
[20:12] <baizon> ups wrong chan, sorry
[20:13] <jo___> Hi. I have a question. Will Xubuntu 12.04 x86_64 recognize quad core cpu, and 8 GB ram memory???
[20:13] <baizon> jo___: yes
[20:14] <jo___> baizon_,Thanks. Are you sure?
[20:14] <bepebe> what would you people say is better on personal preference, xubuntu or lubuntu ?
[20:14] <knome> bepebe, depends what you want
[20:14] <Unit193> It's all in the user.
[20:15] <Unit193> And the hardware as well I suppose.
[20:15] <knome> jo___, be assured, it will be recognized
[20:15] <dekkz_laptop> only used xubuntu so cant say
[20:15] <bepebe> well I have very decent hardware quad core and 4 gb of ram
[20:15] <knome> bepebe, xubuntu is more user-friendly
[20:15] <bepebe> I'm liking Xubuntu, and have tried Mint LXDE (but didn't like that much - seemed buggy)
[20:16] <knome> bepebe, lubuntu will work on less resources, but you probably wouldn't notice the difference with that HW
[20:16] <Unit193> Simple, make a live and see what you like.
[20:16] <baizon> bepebe: xubuntu
[20:16] <dahm> bye
[20:16] <ThePendulum1> bepebe: With an X4 and 4GB of RAM, Xubuntu.
[20:16] <Unit193> (Also, remember you're asking in #xubuntu, more will say Xubuntu)
[20:17] <knome> so true.
[20:17] <bepebe> ;) thanks all
[20:18] <bepebe> and if i have 12.04 beta 2 installed, i can just run update manager on the day and be up to date like i just installed fresh from the iso on the "official release day" ?
[20:19] <baizon> bepebe: yes
[20:19] <baizon> like jo_____ asked
[20:19] <bepebe> thanks
[20:19] <baizon> np
[20:19] <jo___> baizon_,i'm sorry,what have you  wrote last,my internet has dropped out suddenly
[20:20] <baizon> jo___: <knome> jo___, be assured, it will be recognized
[20:21] <baizon> and +1 for me with that statement
[20:21] <jo___> baizon_,Thanks again, that's all i'm been interested in
[20:22] <baizon> ok, np :)
[20:22] <dekkz_laptop> any ubuntu based distro is usually good at handling newer hardware
[20:22] <baizon> indeed
[20:24] <dekkz_laptop> personally i'm running xubuntu desktop on what was originally ubuntu 11.10
[20:24] <dekkz_laptop> its better ui and uses less resources
[20:25] <baizon> thats why i switchd
[20:25] <baizon> like the simple ui
[20:25] <dekkz_laptop> reminds me of motif in someways
[20:26] <baizon> hmm
[20:26] <dekkz_laptop> finger trouble?
[20:27] <baizon> no no
[20:27] <baizon> just wonderinf why +f
[20:27] <knome> toe?
[20:28] <baizon> and forwarding to xubuntu-unregged
[20:28] <bepebe> see you in a bit chaps, installing 12.04
[20:28] <Pici> baizon: there are no other modes that trigger that forward though.
[20:29] <baizon> Pici: +F
[20:29] <baizon> +f (forward on uninvited)
[20:29] <baizon> +F (enable forwarding)
[20:30] <dekkz_laptop> hmm so hows xubuntu 12.04 beta 2 treating people?
[20:30] <Pici> baizon: er, no. see /quote help cmode, and there is no +i or +r or whatever to have the +f actually trigger, its there to save time when we do have to make those mode changes.
[20:31] <Unit193> +f - (Forward uninvited.) - Forwards users who cannot join because of +i, +j, +l or +r.  None of those are set, but if there is an attack, makes it nicer.
[20:32] <baizon> ok
[20:32] <baizon> now i understand
[20:32] <knome> maybe take to -ops if you want to continue :)
[20:36] <dekkz_laptop> thats killed convo
[20:38] <dekkz_laptop> does 12.04 use more resource than 11.10
[20:39] <baizon> not really
[20:40] <dekkz_laptop> good
[20:40] <dekkz_laptop> guess ill be hitting the updater -d next week
[20:41] <baizon> do that :)
[20:41] <knome> won't do anything
[20:41] <knome> -d is just for development versions
[20:41] <knome> in a week precise is not dev
[20:41] <dekkz_laptop> ahh
[20:42] <dekkz_laptop> so update will automatically offer precise as update
[20:43] <knome> yup
[20:43] <baizon> if your settings are configured for "any new release" and not LTS
[20:43] <baizon> ou damn
[20:43] <knome> should do that in any case
[20:43] <baizon> it is a LTS. So it will update
[20:44] <dekkz_laptop> isnt precise a lts
[20:44] <knome> if you are in 11.10 or 10.04
[20:44] <baizon> sorry i forgot :D
[20:44] <dekkz_laptop> 11.10 here
[20:47] <martinphone> how do I get information about the mobo?
[20:48] <knome> lshw
[20:51] <xubuntu5> how can i fix hdmi tearing issue when i hook it up to my 60"?

[21:08] <xubuntu5> i tried parole too
[21:08] <xubuntu5> does mplayer have a gui?
[21:08] <baizon> xubuntu5: yes
[21:08] <GridCube> many
[21:08] <baizon> gnome-mplayer

[21:09] <xubuntu5> thanks gridcube
[21:09] <Guest94086> when booting my laptop I get to the login screen and can't login to my usual username, but can boot into a guest account. The guest account does not have access to my home directory files (stored on a seperate partition). When I try to boot into my username I get a message about "mountall: plymouth command failed". Any help would be appreciated.
[21:09] <dekkz_laptop> try diff player to see if u get same tearing
[21:09] <xubuntu5> thanks guys
[21:10] <GridCube> xubuntu5, you could try xine as well
[21:10] <xubuntu5> xine hmm
[21:10] <xubuntu5> ok
[21:10] <xubuntu5> thanks!
[21:10] <GridCube> no problem
[21:10] <GridCube> Guest94086, go to a tty, press ctrl-alt-F1, log in with your main user account
[21:11] <GridCube> then delete this files: rm .Xauthority   and this one: rm .Xdefaults
[21:12] <GridCube> then go to the lightdm log in screen, press ctrl-alt-F7 and try to log in again
[21:12] <Guest94086> ok that will boot me off this session.. I can log back in here from another machine shortly to let you know how it works... Thank you gridcube.
[21:14] <xubuntu5> maybe even try changing lightdm.conf to allow automatic login
[21:16] <xubuntu5> GridCube, smplayer supports mkv m2ts all that good stuff?
[21:16] <GridCube> should do, its an mplayer frontend
[21:17] <xubuntu5> got it!
[21:18] <GridCube> >MPlayer is a movie player which runs on many systems (see the documentation). It plays most MPEG/VOB, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, RealMedia, Matroska, NUT, NuppelVideo, FLI, YUV4MPEG, FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5, WMV and even H.264 movies.
[21:18] <dekkz_laptop> does h264 mean blueray
[21:18] <GridCube> http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/info.html
[21:20] <GridCube> see the "news" section for bluray info dekkz_laptop
[21:21] <dekkz_laptop> hmmm
[21:22] <dekkz_laptop> guess thats a no then
[21:22] <dekkz_laptop> no matter as i dont own any
[21:25] <xubuntu5> h.264 is a compression of blu-ray
[21:25] <xubuntu5> with very little loss of quality and used in a variety of applications
[21:26] <xubuntu5> deekz_laptop
[21:26] <xubuntu5> smplayer still some tearing but i think it might be slightly better
[21:27] <dekkz_laptop> cables ok?
[21:27] <xubuntu5> ya hdmi cables are good
[21:27] <xubuntu5> monoprice cables
[21:27] <dekkz_laptop> swapped around?
[21:27] <xubuntu5> the ends?
[21:28] <dekkz_laptop> no have u more than 1
[21:28] <xubuntu5> oh ya i got a bunch
[21:28] <xubuntu5> i could try others
[21:28] <xubuntu5> i can try
[21:28] <dekkz_laptop> start wi simple stuff
[21:31] <dekkz_laptop> then check u have latest vid drivers, does it support hd400
[21:32] <dekkz_laptop> hd4000
[21:33] <xubuntu5> have latest driver i think
[21:33] <xubuntu5> how do i check hd400?
[21:35] <dekkz_laptop> what chipset is it? should say on lappys webpage
[21:37] <dekkz_laptop> hmm series 4 isnt hd series integrated graphics
[21:44] <grifo74> hello i have one pc witl intel graphic card. how i install 3d drivers or opengl supertuxcar dont work?
[21:46] <xubuntu5> how do i disable all desktop effects?
[21:47] <dekkz_laptop> like window transparency?
[22:08] <GridCube> xubuntu5, >settings manager >Window manager settings, its the one with the magic wand icon
[22:54] <craigbass1976> Is there a way to tell xfce that when I hit Shift+numpad1 (on a laptop keyboard) that I want it to be doing Shift+End and not 1 ?
[23:31] <GridCube> craigbass1976, this might lead you somewhere http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/howto/edit_keyboard_shortcuts
[23:35] <chrstphrhrt> hey, anyone know if the boot splash changed with the new branding?
[23:36] <GridCube> a bit, yes
[23:37] <GridCube> not much
[23:37] <GridCube> new branding and stuff
[23:37] <chrstphrhrt> cool
[23:37] <xubuntu5> what is the hotkey for fullscreen on smplayer
[23:37] <chrstphrhrt> i love the new branding/logo
[23:37] <chrstphrhrt> never was so hot on the forest graphics
[23:37] <GridCube> f
[23:38] <xubuntu5> gridcube i turned off the compositor in the magic wand and it seems to fix the issues of tearing! and i'm using smplayer now!
[23:38] <xubuntu5> just f?
[23:38] <GridCube> yep
[23:38] <xubuntu5> wow it is just f
[23:38] <xubuntu5> i was doing f11 f12 alt enter ctrl enter and it's just f thanks!
[23:39] <GridCube> :P you can edit it
[23:39] <xubuntu5> heh true
[23:39] <xubuntu5> thanks again!
[23:40] <xubuntu5> it was the xfce compositor causing the tearing!
[23:40] <GridCube> :D
[23:40] <GridCube> it happens
[23:41] <GridCube> video drivers for linux arent that good
[23:41] <GridCube> :/ sadly
[23:42] <CellTech> Any other xubuntu volume control? This one sucks and I KNOW my speakers are louder than this :)
[23:43] <GridCube> CellTech, pavucontrol
[23:44] <CellTech> What about ubuntu's control? I liked that one a lot
[23:44] <GridCube> dunno
[23:45] <CellTech> I'll find out. thank you
