[00:01] anyone know how to drop to a busybox prompt from the "enter passphrase" prompt for an encrypted drive? [00:05] nope [01:20] hello. I'm trying to set up Xubuntu to resume for suspended mode by using the mouse or keyboard instead of using the power button, I couldn't find anything in power settings. [01:31] I've gotten rid of unity with a "sudo apt-get remove unity unity-2d unity-2d-panel unity-2d-spread unity-asset-pool unity-services unity-lens-files unity-lens-music unity-lens-applications gir1.2-unity-5.0 unity-common indicator-sound indicator-power indicator-appmenu libindicator7 indicator-application indicator-datetime indicator-messages libnux-2.0-0 nux-tools libunity-misc4 unity-2d-common" I still a unity-ish looki [01:31] ng login screen. I'm more apt to live with this than with the drum sound at the login. How on earth do I get rid of that? [01:33] dpkg -l |grep ubuntu-sounds see if that comes up with anything. [01:33] Also, the login is "unity-greeter" and Xubuntu uses something else. [01:33] lightdm-gtk-greeter [01:33] Unit193, something didn't make the transition then when I installed xubuntu-desktop [01:36] Did you copy that into a terminal? [01:37] ii ubuntu-sounds [01:37] sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-sounds in a terminal. [01:38] If I ever get hold of that drummer... [01:39] Unit193, thanks; I've got to try it out [01:46] Hello boys. MyXubuntu precise is very heavy on my machine. How I can solve it? My old pc is a atom with 1gb of ram with intel graphics card [01:47] Disable any unwanted or needed services/programs on startup. [01:48] Unit193: give me suggestions. I use bluetooth and I not use screensaver. Can you borrow me ram memory. I live in brazil and can you send for me? [01:49] Gnu community [01:49] shared computer pieces [01:50] hehehe [01:50] Did you disable the screensaver then? [01:50] Also, you could try #ubuntu-es or #xubuntu-es if you'd like support in Spanish better. [01:51] Unit193: I understand better engish [01:52] I think I go back to 10.04. Its have server support yet [01:53] Would still be better to be on current though. [01:58] |Slacker|: Why are you in xubuntu chat? You must support slackware [01:59] <|Slacker|> p-cHAN, I used to use slackware but dropped it for ubuntu/xubuntu [01:59] <|Slacker|> I'm too lazy to register another nick :p [01:59] |Slacker|: Xubuntu is really easy, but, need offline installer from PCBSD [02:01] <|Slacker|> why you say that? the installer seems good to me [02:01] Alternate and desktop installers work for me™ [02:03] |Slacker|: I need puredata extended but I don't know compile. iT is very hard for me [02:03] <|Slacker|> i see === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:37] is there any tool to monitor frequency of cpu and then change it on a fly ... like the one I had on GNOME ubuntu .

[03:18] its got to be at least 3 times bigger [03:19] is there a way to refresh the list of wireless networks without rebooting? [03:21] haha [03:21] the derek xoolander OS for kids who can't compute good? [03:46] I installed xubuntu using the CD, but my computer still always boots into vista [03:46] Though if I boot again with the CD in, it does detect that I had previously installed [03:46] how can I get it to allow me to choose each time I boot [03:47] Try holding left shift as the computer boots, or meybe grub didn't install? [03:47] I'll try the left shift thing [03:48] !grub [03:48] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [03:48] I believe though that grub didn't install [03:48] can you think of any reason why it wouldn't install? [03:49] I just went with the default install options all the way [03:49] thanks for the links though:) [03:49] and I didn't install windows over it, or anything like that [03:50] Not offhand, but there is a easy enough way to fix in one of the links. [03:51] Ok I'll give it a shot, thanks. [03:52] (First one recommends you install boot-repair) [04:04] Ok so I'm trying to use boot repair so I can maybe boot into xubuntu and not just vista, and I encountered something [04:04] it says: [04:04] the sda2 (windows recovery environment) partition is nearly full [04:04] and I should delete files [04:04] however I am hesitant to do so [04:04] what do you recommend? [04:06] It's always nearly full, from what I remember. [04:08] o in that case I guess I'll ignore the error? [04:12] From what I remember. [04:16] i would go look, and if its not full, ignore the error [04:34] Hi, I installed xubuntu (computer also has vista) but it wouldn't boot into xubuntu. After running "boot repair", it does indeed boot into xubuntu, however I have lost the ability to boot into vista. [04:35] I'm thinking of taking my machine to a computer repair shop but if anyone has any other suggestions I'd be open [04:48] what logon manager does xubuntu use? [05:01] hmmmm: Lightdm. [05:01] thanks [05:02] As of 11.10. [05:02] i like it [05:02] wait, how do i find my version of ubuntu? [05:04] xubuntu000 needs to run something like update-grub, or os-prober. [05:05] lsb_release -a [05:05] ah yes, this is 11.10 [05:05] hmm, so i think this lightdm might replace slim on my other systems [05:05] The theme is better in 12.04. ;) [05:06] i am enjyoing xubuntu 12.04 my self, i do want xfce 4.10 tho [05:07] i believe that xubuntu is the closest thing to a unified, standard Linux desktop distribution [05:07] if there is such a thing [05:07] this is the only Linux distro i'd use [05:08] its nice light weight and so forth, tho i used almost all the ubuntu's lubuntu is fast tho. [05:08] but kinda lacks in easier options that xubuntu makes up for. [05:10] hmm [05:11] is this Lightdm something brand new? [05:11] nice [05:11] i found a deb file for it [05:11] hehe [05:11] it seems to be Linux-only at this time [05:11] :( [05:13] i gotta reboot === tyler_ is now known as Fableflame [08:23] Anybody having sound issues with 12.04?

[08:58] Hi Guys [08:58] I need help regarding UEFI mode installation for Ubuntu 11.04 on Dell hardware [08:59] Its not able to get install and proceed after GRUB menu during the installation [09:13] I seem to have lost all sound in Xubuntu 12.04. I was on YouTube with Chromium when it first happened, but I also have no sound in FireFox and Gmusicbrowser. I've tried looking in Alsamixer but everything seems fine there. I also tried looking in PulseAudio Volume Control but couldn't find any problems. [09:52] Fableflame: if it's not a software-problem then it's hard to help... [09:52] ochosi, it has to be a software problem, I didn't have any sound issues until today after installing Xubuntu. [09:54] Fableflame: if all channels are unmuted and you see the progress-bar in pavucontrol jumping up and down while you play back stuff, then i'm not sure i can help [09:54] have you set the port in output-device to the correct output in pavucontrol? [09:55] Right now the port is set to headphones, since I have a set plugged in [09:55] yeah, that should be fine [09:57] Odd, I now have sound again, even though I haven't changed anything. === tsimpson_ is now known as tsimpson === PreciseOne is now known as IdleOne [11:59] Is there no sudo auth needed for package updates any longer through the package manager?

[13:19] first a message saying need tostop or restart xscreensaver and xlockmore [13:19] opened terminal and "sudo killall xscreensaver" [13:20] seemed to work [13:20] but no such process found was the message from "sudo killall xlockmore" [13:20] seems common bug but no fix yet === tyler is now known as Guest50528 [13:21] xxxx8888: no that's fine, no need to kill xlockmore i think [13:21] you think? [13:22] everything is on this machine and the warning says i might affect the login systems [13:22] really dont want to brick it [13:22] but im a gambler so have clicked forward [13:22] anyway [13:22] you can test whether xlockmore is running easily: "ps -A | grep lock" [13:23] if yuo don't get xlockmore there, then it's not running [13:23] so no need/possibility to kill it ;) [13:23] kk will check that [13:24] next im getting this window that is telling me everything using nss needs killing [13:24] i dont know what that is [13:25] !nss [13:25] ubottu also doesn't know anything about it [13:25] ochosi: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:26] have an input box :services to restart GNU libc library upgrade [13:26] xxxx8888: mind to simply post a screenshto? [13:26] i assume its secure sign in libraries [13:27] where would you like me to post said screenshot? [13:27] it's some network security service libraries [13:27] thought so [13:27] e.g. imagebin.org [13:27] have i got a built innscrengrabber on this xubuntu thingammy then [13:27] Hello, how do I change back touchpad two finger tap to middle click [13:27] screengrabber [13:28] (in 11.10 tapping the touchpad with two fingers meant middle click, in 12.04 it changed to right click. I want it back to middle click) [13:29] yes found it [13:29] Gape: have you looked at the mouse settings dialog? [13:30] Yes, it doesn't seem to have any setting related to it. (Hold on, [13:30] I'll check again in a minute, I'm on my desktop computer atm) [13:30] Gape: if not, you might have to install a programme like tpconfig [13:32] Ok, you probably mean settings manager -> Mouse and Touchpad. That has no settings regarding tapping with multiple fingers (only option to disable 'Tap touchpad to click') [13:34] Gape: right, i couldnt test whether that setting exists because i don't have a multi-touch-enabled touchpad [13:34] right then the images are up on imagebin [13:35] latest set "groitswitch" [13:35] one of terminal -one of help/ message thinagmmy [13:38] I just checked tpconfig in ubuntu software center, from the comments it seems it's only command line program to configure other programs, which doesn't seem much use. Do you know if xubuntu uses synaptics touchpad driver? [13:40] was trying to test if xlockmore was running and the command is confusing me [13:40] xxxx8888: i need a link to that image, thousands of people post images on imagebin every day... [13:41] its the first one on the page labelled groitswitch [13:41] but will link it [13:41] Gape: that depends on your touchpad. if it's a synaptics touchpad, then yes (drivers go via kernel and xorg, nothing xubuntu-specific) [13:42] http://imagebin.org/211659 [13:42] and http://imagebin.org/211660 [13:42] second one shows terminal [13:43] xxxx8888: right, but what's the specific problem? are you actively using rsync, cups or cron at the moment? [13:44] absolutely no idea [13:44] wouldnt know what they were if they jumped up and slapped me [13:44] the issue was mainly the xlockmore one [13:44] and i dont understand the check command that was indicated [13:45] ps -A"vertical line" ... [13:45] what is the vertical line [13:46] i am cluelessas far as linux goes [13:47] you are doing very well if i can make it work because im a fucking idiot [13:47] ochosi: Thanks, I was able to change it easily via synclient [command] [13:49] ???? still wouldlike to check whether xlockmore is running tobe sure [13:50] alt win doesnt workas my third evel key chooser [13:50] | [13:50] level [13:50] this is the vertical line [13:51] xxxx8888: | [13:51] yes i can see the key but dont now te third evle key chooser [13:52] on linux [13:52] what is it default in buntu? [13:52] see i am idiot [13:53] can you tell me what are you trying to achieve [13:53] i see you trying to look at the process list [13:54] if you are trying to highlight out one particular process then [13:54] i want to check if xloxkmore is still running- but allcombinations i can remember wont give me the 3rd level key choser [13:54] ps -A | grep [13:54] so i cant type the vertical line thigammy [13:54] xxxx8888: copy-paste? [13:55] it would benice to have it working [13:55] shift+key where it has it [13:55] that would workif copy paste worked in this chat program [13:55] it dont [13:55] ohh 3rd level.. then sorry I dont know [13:55] arse [13:55] not u [13:56] just swearing [13:56] hmm [13:56] !language [13:56] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

[14:03] if it shows up on ps list then its running xxxx8888 [14:03] you can do "top" to check it on real time [14:03] check process list* [14:04] where is that? [14:04] penreturns: or what is xubuntu manager? [14:04] please remember i am idiot [14:04] sorry, meant voyager penreturns [14:04] nicklas__: you can, just install package 'nautilus-dropbox' - despite its name it only suggests nautilus to be installed, not require it [14:05] the suggested command doesnt give me a list it just outputs the above line [14:05] 18 ? 00:00:00 kblockd [14:06] its still xubuntu, maybe it just a theme, complete with all installed apps,.. [14:06] can found it here http://voyager.legtux.org/ [14:06] ho hum [14:06] xxxx8888: if the process shows up on "ps" command then its active [14:07] right then jow do i kill it? [14:07] how [14:07] kill [14:07] just type that? [14:07] laite: you are sure? and the same for kubuntu? [14:08] this is from the upgrade manager that i got here asking... [14:08] not my fault im an idiot [14:08] laite: it doesnt pull nautilus and gnome desktop automatically? [14:08] xxxx8888: yeah just type in that should work [14:09] laite: and it will work? [14:09] nicklas__: don't know for kubuntu, but at least on xubuntu you can install without gnome/nautilus [14:09] works for me :) [14:09] xxxx8888: well am a beginner as well :) got on Xubuntu yesterday itself [14:09] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' [14:09] laite: then it should work in kubuntu though, logically [14:09] yeah, I guess so [14:09] thats what i get from kill [14:10] laite: thank you very much [14:10] nicklas__: np [14:10] xxxx8888: you have to replace with the number ID of the process you want to kill [14:10] laite: well then, how exactly did you install it? you chose the package, and chose not to pull nautilus or what? [14:10] what about a taskmanager gui? where i can just lidst the processes and kill what i want? [14:11] xxxx8888: thats also ther [14:11] thats not what you said [14:11] so the process number is 18? [14:11] Menu>System>System monitor >process tab [14:11] yeah process ID is 18 [14:13] nicklas__: you can install it from synaptic package manager, 'nautilus-dropbox', and for me it installed some python-libraries (total of ~1.5Mb) and that's it - however, dropbox has its own 'installer/setup' you have to run, but xubuntu will inform you about that [14:13] xxxx8888@xxxx8888-Milano:~/Desktop$ kill [14:13] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' [14:13] xxxx8888@xxxx8888-Milano:~/Desktop$ kill <18> [14:13] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `18' [14:13] no [14:13] doesnt work [14:13] xxxx8888: kill 18 [14:13] this is the command [14:14] hy put the box round it [14:14] when its written means replace the "" with your required stuff [14:14] you guys have your own language to identify what your trying to tellme- without the phrasebook [14:14] this is why linux is not taking off [14:15] as it should [14:15] to much inspeak or knowledge of programming rquired [14:15] xxxx8888: well am sorry.These are general conventions . [14:15] xxxx8888: try "kill 18" [14:15] bash: kill: (18) - Operation not permitted [14:16] xxxx8888: "sudo kill 18" [14:16] general conventions in the programming community.... [14:16] seems to have worked [14:17] thanks sorry for the communication issues [14:17] hmm not an issue with that xxxx8888 [14:17] your welcome [14:18] we sahll see when i finish the upgrade- and i amlearning the conventions as i go [14:18] xxxx8888: am suer you will pick them up on the way :) [14:18] sure* [14:18] ty have a good day [14:19] not really an support issue, but where I could get information about what effects to xubuntu (in long run) I should expect for installing newer kernel than official [14:20] Since my graphics gard needed kernel 3.3 for HDMI-audio I installed 3.3.5 from kernel.ubuntu.com [14:25] laite: ok [14:25] ty [14:25] laite: didnt the drivers of the card work ? [14:26] REK_007: proprietary drivers? Not really, they seemed to work really randomly and mostly not at all :/ [14:26] laite: yeah which make you using? [14:26] I have not tested on xubuntu but on ubuntu they used to work fine for me [14:27] REK_007: make? [14:27] ati or nvidia? [14:27] oh, sorry - ATI [14:28] ohh then cant help now .. sold my ATI about a month back :P [14:28] :) [14:29] HDMI audio worked if my TV was on during boot, but not if I switched TV on when xubuntu was already running - unless I took the cable off and put it back in again [14:29] but I thought it was too much of a trouble, and tried a lot of things during couple of days until finally switched to newer kernel [14:29] well from my experience so far on xubuntu .. audio depatment needs serious tweaking [14:30] well I am noob ... so i really cant say how to fix it or tweak it :P [14:31] yeah, I'm not too much of a pro myself =D === holstein_ is now known as holstein [14:47] laite: what model?
