k_szeHow do I completely wipe a HDD in Xubuntu?04:36
k_szeI don't mean having to zero or scramble the data. I only mean to delete partitions and maybe even the partition table.04:37
k_szeSo that it appears (logically) as a clean slate to any disk utility.04:37

well_laid_lawn256mB will make things like web browsers slow in any os, xubuntu would be better than ubuntu with that tho10:16
Killuacbaim trying to install xubuntu whit the wubi but i guess is the last release and is very slowly the install (sory for my bad english, im from argentina)10:18
well_laid_lawnit will be slow because you don't have much memory I guess10:19
Killuacbaim thinking to download an older release... but i dunno if that will have sense... (be more fast ) or just wait to the install finish...10:21

xubuntu810hello, what's the "approved" method of exporting xfce desktop settings across different computers (e.g. panel settings etc.) ?13:38
ruienI'm not sure if there's a better method, but the ~/.config directory doesn't seem to contain much absolute-path or user-specific information, and I've migrated it successfully in the path. You can grep for $HOME and $USER to see13:39

Alanyou know what comes to mind right now? that awesome error page reddit has, with the "F5 hammer"13:46
ruienxubuntu810: yeah, between the same versions of xfce the main files should be portable, but you have to see where the theme and icon files are being pulled from and be sure they're present too. If there was a more official way to migrate, I'd be interested in that as well.13:46
ruienAlan: how much space does your apt-mirror take up? I have been considering that since downloads are slow from china, but I wasn't sure what sort of space requirements I'd run into13:47

Alanxubuntu405: 5 years on server, 3 on desktop13:49
AlanIIRC13:49
Alanor did ubuntu bump desktop support to 5 years?13:49
pod3 years is still very good i think13:49
ruienubuntu bumpted desktop support to 5 years for 12.04, although I personally don't see the point (for server it certainly makes sense)13:49
astraljavapod: So right-click on touchpad only worked once?13:50
mimoidruien: why don't you see the point? XP has been supported for a decade or so and people still use it. A lot of desktop users have Scientific Linux or CentOS for long term usae13:50
astraljavamimoid: Yes, community-supported projects vary. It happens.13:51
xubuntu405If I install Ubuntu 12.04 and then xfce-desktop package, will xfce-desktop -packebe be supported for 5 years?13:51
podyeah, or for a while at least. even the holding down leftclick with one finger and draging a file with another finger worked for a while.13:51
ruienhmm, I guess because the "core" which need the security patches would usually be available on the server edition anyway. If sshd needs an update, you'll still get it.13:51
mimoidI'm wondering what xubuntu405 is saying13:51
astraljavapod: Are you planning to upgrade to precise anytime soon?13:51
podto precies? i will upgrade to 12.04 as soon as i can :)13:52
astraljavaxubuntu405: No, it's not Canonical-supported.13:52
astraljavapod: Yes, 12.04 is code-named precise pangolin. Ok, then I won't try to triage your touchpad problem. Please report back after the upgrade.13:53
Alanruien: my apt-mirror is 182GB - that is {release}, {release}-updates and {release}-security for amd64 only, for every release from lucid to precise13:54
podAh, right. Thanks!13:54
xubuntu405I wish Xubuntu 12.04 LTS desktop support would be 5 years... 3 years is not enough for me :=)13:54
Alanpfft13:54
Alan6 months is too long :p13:54
ruienThanks Alan - my current "solution" is a shell script I threw together http://download.ryansanden.com/axel-get.sh13:54
pleia2xubuntu405: we could always use more volunteers to make 14.04 be an LTS :) (xubuntu is all volunteers)13:54
pleia2err, a 5 year LTS13:54
Alanruien: interesting13:55
Alanand yeah, a 5-year support cycle is great... if you want a half-decade-old desktop that competes with CentOS13:55
ruienfrom china a single update can literally go at 5k/sec, but with axel you can still get an acceptable 100k or so13:56
Alanbut having used CentOS, it's completely worthless as a desktop environment because everything is so unbelievably old13:56
Supp3rMarioI like the LMDE idea :)13:56
Alanruien: that doesn't sound fun...13:56
Alanruien: what is axel?13:56
ruiensort of a command-line download accelerator13:56
ruienworks well when you have high TCP latency but not high packet loss13:57
dekkz5 year support is good for bug fixes but can understand xubuntu position13:57
dekkzill just run xfce desktop package on top of ubuntu 12.0413:58
xubuntu056http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/12.04/release/ final iso images13:59
Alanruien: that sounds annoying to have to deal with13:59
donavan01how do I upgrade from beta to full LTS13:59
astraljavadonavan01: Nothing special, as you update your system any other day.14:00
=== flaxo is now known as flaxoffline
ruienAlan: yeah, the Internet in general is fine but maybe the china mirrors are just overloaded. Unfortunately there aren't any good command-line tools that I know of to help choose the best mirror. You have to use the GUI and I often run server edition14:00
donavan01didnt look like it updated ... how can I check to see if im still on beta?14:00
Alanruien: why not hit a different mirror? or is going through the Great Firewall even slower?14:01
astraljavadonavan01: You could try `lsb_release -a`, I think it may have said "Development release" or something while it was still non-final.14:01
ruienGreat Firewall doesn't hurt anything at all. I will experiement with different mirrors for 12.04. Usually I just use my shell script and everything is fine, so that's been my solution for the last 2 years14:01
astraljavadonavan01: But don't count on that. If you have up-to-date system today, it's final, no fear.14:01
ruienthis time I'll probably do an apt-mirror though. 182GB is big but not too bad14:02
ruieni could throw that on one of my singapore servers14:02
Alanruien: you don't need anywhere close to that amount14:02
astraljavaruien: Alan: Could you take that to -offtopic, please? Support questions will pick up now as people start installing from the final images. Thanks.14:02
ruienkk14:02
Alanruien: like i said, 182GB is spread across 5 releases14:02
donavan01yep looks like im updated ... yay!!!14:03
astraljavaYep. :)14:03
Alanmost packages i'll have 5 separate versions of because of that14:03
Alanastraljava: what final images? :P14:03

astraljavaYeah, please be patient. Half the world is waiting for these images. It'll take some time until everyone's served.14:06
Shayancan i download it14:07
Shayan?14:07
Shayani talked to the devs but they said it is not synced yet14:07
astraljavaYes, so if you see them there, they're there. If not, then wait a little bit more.14:07
Shayanhey astraljava you were on the dev channel too14:09
=== sagaci_ is now known as sagaci
donavan01im have a really weird issue I asked in the ubuntu forms and also on #ubuntu channel and no one seems to be able to track down this issue, aside from maybe it might have something to do with the fact that I am on DSL and the packet shaping is wrong or some craziness... when I try to go to certain sites I get the web browser (firefox and chrome)  timing out or saying the server reset the connection or some such Internet issue 14:10
astraljavadonavan01: It happens occasionally. How often is this occurring on your system?14:11
dekkzthats the website hosting don, i get that too14:11
dekkztheir caching setup14:11
Alan0.5MB/s? disgracefully slow! :P14:13
Shayanpretty fast for me14:13
donavan01astraljava ... constantly for some sites almost never for other sites ... pastebin.com for instance I can go to the site but as soon as I hit the submit button it looks like its doing something then craps out ... other sites load up quickly with no issue... facebook is about 50/50 sometimes it works partway other times it craps out all together14:13
Alanon a good day it would take me a minute to download the image14:13
Alanunfortunately i'm inside a network where i can't torrent right now :(14:13
dekkzdo u get it on all diff websites or just off the big popular ones14:13
donavan01alan... I remember geting 5kbps and thinking I was screaming fast14:13
bepebeAlan: yeah bloody work!14:13
Shayanalan:i have the top speed of 400kbps14:14
Alani'm actually wondering if it would be faster to install deluge on my webserver, torrent the image, nand then download from there14:14
Alanyeah, i'm wondering if it's limited per-client14:14
Alanwhich would be awesome if it is14:14
Alanstop people like me killing the mirrors :P14:14
Shayanmine right now is 90 kbps14:14
astraljavaAlan: Again, please take that talk to -offtopic or somewhere else, the support discussion is drowning into release chat which does not belong here.14:15
ruieni limited my download speed to 50k/sec and I'll just let it run overnight.14:15
Shayanok14:15
Alanastraljava: sorry :(14:15
donavan01dekkz if you were talking to me it depends I have noticed to be pretty random I just noticed it mostly on those two sites because I use them alot14:15
bepebe1.0MB/s a here ^_^14:15
astraljavadonavan01: Okay, let me come back to that a little later, I've gotta go do some laundry, so I'll be back within the next 2 hours or so. Will you have time until that?14:16
donavan01I may I will try to say on im at work so just ping me if you see me I will answer14:16
Shayanhow do i insert smileys(or sadies)14:17
dekkzdon: i only see it on big sites like bbc facebook the ones that use the big caching sites, techs said it happens sometimes when the caching systems are under heavy load14:17
donavan01dekkz ... I could go with that except I can go two feet away and pull the same site up on my windows machine and it works flawlessly14:18
Shayangtg gonna buy some empty CDs14:19
bepebehi guys, I want to install it on a work laptop behind a proxy, i use export http_proxy "url:port" and am able to ping externally, but cannot access anything on the web browser, and package manager doesn't work ?14:19
ruienbepebe: easy, what OS are you on? do you have access to an SSH server?14:20
dekkzdon: then its not same as me, i can rep across 3 machines/win + linux, mind u never come across an example like yours14:20
Sysibepebe: you need to have that export in ~/.xinitrc or something14:21
bepebebe using 12.04, but same would apply for 11.1014:21
Sysimaybe ~/.xsession14:22
bepebeso I'll edit that on the livecd, and that should install any package update, restricted extras (mp3 etc) on the install14:23
bepeberuien: i'll be installing from the livecd, no ssh server access14:24
ruieni'll pm you.14:24
dekkzlotsa support requests ;014:32
Sysiwell, reason for this channel to exist14:33
drcJe pense donc je suis....14:34
dekkzprolly pick up once the early adopters get their upgrades/DL's done14:37
drcnah, the real early adopters grabbed the daily from yesterday and just did a daily upgrade :)14:38
dekkz mean beta monkeys ;)14:39
dekkzis updatemanager usually slow to pick up the new version on lauch day?14:44
dekkzlaunch14:44
holsteindekkz: ater you having an issue? the answer to your current question depends on several factors.. maybe we can just skip to what you need? you want to upgrade?14:45
holsteinare you*14:45
dekkzim in no hurry was just wondering14:46
dekkzsomeone asked me on msn so i thought i would ask here14:47
holsteinif the update manager is not configured to "take" version upgrades, it'll never "pick up the new version"14:48
dekkzill get them to check14:48
holsteinmaybe http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2010/02/dist-upgrade-misnomer-confusion.html will help14:50
dekkzset to check for lts upgrades only but ive forwarded that link14:51
holsteindekkz: 10.10 wont go to 12.04... 11.04 wouldnt either.. AFAIK, you'd need to go one by one til you get to 12.04...14:51
dekkztheyre on 11.1014:52
dekkztold em to change to every release14:53
holsteindekkz: the command line upgrade command will work... other thatn that, we need screen shots, or we need to speculate about what is going on in some GUI... i say, link the command line commands14:53
holsteinor wait, and do it for them14:53
holsteinOR, just suggest that they not upgrade...14:53
dekkzyeah will prob go and do it myself at weekend hands on14:54
holsteinbest case scenario, they go through a long process to get improvments they wont notice or care about... its the "if it aint broke" approach14:55

ububuntuim new to xubuntu , do i need separat partition for boot ?17:10
GridCubeif you wish so17:11

ububuntuwhat /home or boot ?17:12
SysiGridCube: I prefer partition for just data17:12
Sysiold settings mess up stuff17:13
knomeububuntu, you only need one partition if you are installing xubuntu only (no dual-boot or so)17:13
GridCube:P i have a partition for / and one for /home so when i reinstall my /home is safe17:13
ububuntuif i put / on sdb1 ,boot on sda1 and /home and swap on sda2 & 317:13
GridCubeububuntu, that should work :)17:13
knomeububuntu, no, you don't need another partition for /boot17:14

satch5150i'm fairly certain I'm having hardware issues but not sure where to ask this question so here goes - My computer seems to lock up with my soundcard in it, which is an x-fi elite pro pci (not pcie) card, my mobo is an asus sabertooth with uefi bios and my cpu is an zambezi am3+ ..... im using xubuntu 12.04 bets 2 (ok, yea, I didnt think of it before asking but that could be the problem), but assuming the beta is not the prob, what coul18:12
satch5150d it be ?18:12
satch5150any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ..... I would like to not buy additional hardware, at least not without some reasonable assurance that its going to work and i'm not going to get the same problems18:15
=== myrtti is now known as Myrtti
astraljavasatch5150: IRQ conflicts came to mind, but I am not sure whether they could completely lock up a whole computer.18:16
satch5150it actually doesn't technically lock up, when booting up in recovery mode, first thing it says is that cpu #n (it is different ones at different times) is stuck, something about a soft lockup, then it keeps repeating messages about udevd and trying to shutdown udisk process after it trys to modprobe some long pci hex address18:18
satch5150I can't really cut and paste the errors or I would18:18
f0xand amd64 2?18:20
satch5150yes18:20
satch5150its an 8core am3+ cpu18:21
satch5150and yes the xubuntu is the amd64 version18:21
satch5150other than those repeating messages the computer does appear to be unresponsive18:22
Artemis3satch5150, if you take out that sound card, everything works?18:23
satch5150that's with the x-fi in, take it and yes, it appears to be fine18:23
Artemis3satch5150, can you try this card in another machine? with a livecd perhaps?18:23
astraljavaArtemis3: Or another PCI card slot?18:24
astraljavaSorry, meant for satch5150 of course.18:24
Artemis3i doubt that would help much but it doesnt hurt trying18:24
Artemis3another machine would be better18:24
Artemis3eg with intel chipset, to discard faulty hardware18:24
Artemis3if it works it could be compatibility issue, which "might" be solved with a bios setting or update18:25
satch5150Artemis, no, unfortunately I dont have access to anything else to try it in at the moment18:25
Artemis3satch5150, there is a chance the card is bad... would be good if you can test it somewhere18:26
Artemis3unless it works perfecly in another os... then is a software issue18:27
satch5150well, I had it on a differnet board, it went bad (or so I thought, in retrospect, wonder now if it could have been the card) - but this was just like a month ago before I started having issues with the board18:28
satch5150I thought the card was working, but the symptoms were similar to what's going now18:29
satch5150so in retrospect, yea, bad soundcard maybe :)18:29

tnorriswhat's the cmd line option to upgrade to 12.04?19:13
mneptoktnorris: from what release?19:14
tnorris11.1019:14
mneptoktnorris: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo do-release-upgrade19:14
tnorrishrm... do-release-upgrade says there's nothing to upgrade19:15
knomemneptok, dist-upgrade isn't needed19:15
mneptokknome: can't hurt.19:15
knomemneptok, and actually, it might install unity and such :(19:15
knomemneptok, well, can, in xubuntu19:15
mneptokknome: i dist-upgrade every single day.19:16
Unit193Same.19:16
knomewell, that might pull in unity, but i don't care if it does on your machine ;]19:16
mneptokknome: that's the only way to get new kernels.19:16
knometnorris, try 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d' then19:16
tnorrisknome: same - "No new release found"19:17
tnorris(and I did update)19:17
knomedid you do upgrade too?19:17

r3dl0cI'm having a problem since upgrading to 12.04. xfdesktop, Thunar, and compiz will not run on users that authenticate through winbind.  Any ideas?19:25
tnorrisknome: might have an idea why. if the release hasn't been pushed to the US mirror yet, then it probably wouldn't show up if my sources were pointing to it, would it?19:28
donavan01I was wondering if someone knew how to fix this issue... I use mutiple networks and for one of the networks I have to manually set the MTU to 1492 rather than auto.... the other networks seem to work fine with the auto setting... I can use the network manager to do this as it doesnt seem to actually change the MTU if I do a sudo ifconfig wlan0 mtu 1492 then it changes ... but if im not mistaken doesnt this change it for all c19:32

pleia2if you're uncertain, you can compare the hash you get from one mirror with another19:39

magarwalhi i downdloaded the 64bit version of 12.04 and tried to install but the installer itself failed after 15-20 mins20:36
magarwali tried with the alternate install CD but same result.. (this time it went a little further)20:36
drcWFM (tm) :)20:36
knomemagarwal, any more information on the failures?20:36
magarwalin the alternate install version it failed at the Install software step (before the isntall grub loader)20:37
magarwali tried to bypass the install software to install grub loader but got the same error!20:37
drcCould you possibly tell us the error or must we play 20 questions?20:39
magarwaldrc, i am installing it again, and will tell the error once i see it again20:40
Max_whoops! was going to complain about not finding any download links to 12.04 (the banner thing still says coming soon)20:41
knomemagarwal, also, just to make sure, do you have a 64-bit processor?20:41
Max_guess I was wrong!20:41
knomeMax_, must be some caching somewhere along the way20:41
nmittalknome, yes.. (this is magarwal)20:41
knomenmittal, good20:42
nmittalknome, its a 65-bit machine that has been running Ubuntu 10.10 65-bit for more than 6 months no problem20:42
Max_Im really limited on net - can anyway tell me the size of the ISO?20:42
nmittalknome, 64-bit i mean :-p20:42
knomeMax_, it's about 700MB20:42
Max_sweet! Should fit on CD just fine!20:43
knomeMax_, yes, that's the idea... :)20:43
knomeMax_, any xubuntu image should fit a 700MB CD20:43
Max_right! Just that, y'know , what with Ubuntu moving on with Unity and I think I read someplace that Xubuntu was trying to get Unity compatible with this version - thought I'd ask20:44
P0baileygreat job guys!!!!!!!20:44
Max_since Unity is a monster on my poor p420:44
Max_last question before I'm out of your hair - is there a way to get this thing booting off of USB? An instruction page perhaps for Xubuntu?20:45
nmittalknome.. the weird thing is that even "try ubuntu20:45
nmittaldidnt work20:45
drcMax_: Booting as in installing or booting as in running off the USB?20:46
knomeP0bailey, thanks :)20:46
knomenmittal, weird. which version have you been using then?20:46
nmittali had ubuntu 10.10 64 bit before i dicided to wipe out my machine and install 12.04 Xubuntu :(20:47
Max_drc, bootinas in running off the USB? (well having the option to install would be sweet too - is that possible? like an Ubuntu LiveCD except off of a USB?)20:47
Max_*booting20:47
Max_sorry it's been a long day20:47
drcMax_: Yes it's possible, that's how I installed it20:48
knomenmittal, yeah, i'm afraid there might have been some driver changes meanwhile... maybe check what your graphics card + ubuntu says in google or so, and see if other people have had problems too and solved them20:49
nmittalknome.. i thought so too (bcoz i remember installing 10.10 wasnt easy either).. but alternate install is not graphical to start with ..rt?20:49
knomenmittal, yeah, alternate install avoids graphical installer, but it's not a good sign that you can't even use the live cd :/20:50
nmittalknome live cd would use the noveau driver.. rt?20:51
knomenmittal, i think that's it...20:51
nmittalyeah that wont work with my nvidia card20:52
nmittalknome, but again thats why i am doing alternate install20:52
knomenmittal, yeah. once you get to the error (or, let's hope you don't!), just tell us what it is and we can try to troubleshoot20:52
nmittalknome thanks will appreciate that20:53
knomenp20:53
nmittalknome, although looks like its gone further this time20:53
knomeyeah, let's hope it installs20:53
nmittalknome the only difference is that i manually partitioned this time20:53
knomemmh, sounds weird though that it would make the system installable20:54
nmittalknome, it installed !!!!20:54
knomegreat :) have fun20:55
nmittalknome, now how do I install my propreitory NVIDIA driver?20:55
knomenmittal, use jockey20:55
nmittalknome, before i reboot?20:55
knomenmittal, or after20:55
knomenmittal, jockey-text if you only get to console at all20:56
nmittalknome, whats jockey20:56
knomenmittal, otherwise i think it should give you a notification to start the jockey GUI20:56
nmittalknome, i am at the last installation screen rt now.. "Installation complete" what should i do now20:56
knomenmittal, jockey is the tool to install propietary drivers in ubuntu20:56
knomenmittal, try to boot and see what happens - even if the GPU driver fails, you should be able to get to console :)20:57
nmittalknome, but the nvidia driver requires that X is not running20:57
knomenmittal, jockey will be able to install it, you just need to reboot after that20:57
nmittali see20:58
nmittalknome, in absence of nvidia driver all i get is a blinking curser at the top left corner of the screen20:58
nmittaland it stays there forever20:58
knomenmittal, well, you can of course try to run jockey now, if you can.20:59
knomenmittal, when the cursor blinks, try to get to other tty's (ctrl+alt+f2 for example)20:59
nmittalknome.. after reboot... its not even loading grub.. sitting at the last step after bios21:00
knome:/21:00

Unit193Was grub for sure installed?21:12
tioperewhat's wrong?21:12
nmittalUnit193, tiopere so the xubuntu 12.04 installation went fine (including installing the grub boot loader) but when i reboot.. i am stuck at the computer start screen and grub is not starting21:14
nmittalknome, the bios update i got from Dell is an .exe file!!!21:15
knomenmittal, mmh. i think the bios update i used was something similar, just had to "install" that to an usb drive or something..21:15

tiopereAm I getting into a mess?21:18
tioperewith that version?21:18
panzon_do you know how can I uninstall my invidia driver?21:19
knomepanzon_, if you used the nvidia-settings too, it will have created Xorg.conf, you should be able to change the driver name there21:19
panzon_yes but I don't know the name of the last driver21:19
knometiopere, most installations/upgrades go well21:19
panzon_...21:19
panzon_actually I also make an upgrade21:20
knomepanzon_, iirc, that's nv21:20
panzon_I thought that maybe an upgrade should resolve my problem21:20
panzon_do you know if exist a form to reinstall all xcfe21:21
panzon_or my problem is other?21:21
tiopereI hope so, I can not wait to try it21:21
knomepanzon_, as i said, edit Xorg.conf21:22
panzon_but what do I have to write there?21:25
knomechange the driver to "nv"21:25
nmittalknome, Unit193 ,tiopere... so i have manged to get a live session going.. is there a way i can now fix GRUB?21:27
panzon_now I have "nvidia"21:28
knomepanzon_, yeah, that's the propietary driver. nv is the basic 2d driver, nouveau is the 3d open source driver with some acceleration.21:29
panzon_and then I should reboot?21:29
knomepanzon_, yeah21:30
