| ball | Is Xubuntu available for PowerPC macs? | 00:18 |
|---|---|---|
| chelz | ball: why yes it is | 00:19 |
| ball | chelz: Great! I've just been given one. :-) | 00:19 |
| ball | ...and I would rather run Xubuntu than MacOS X | 00:20 |
| ochosi | +1 | 00:21 |
| Unit193 | You'll have to build from the mini.iso though. | 00:22 |
| chelz | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/precise/ | 00:24 |
| ball | Unit193: Is there no .iso image readily available then? | 00:24 |
| chelz | goes to http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/precise/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/ | 00:24 |
| chelz | ball: there is, the mini.iso there | 00:24 |
| chelz | ball: though you have to install xubuntu-desktop yourself after the install | 00:25 |
| Unit193 | But not of Xubuntu fully installed, didn't have enough people testing it to know if it worked or not. | 00:25 |
| ball | Oh. | 00:25 |
| ball | I suppose I could try Ubuntu. | 00:25 |
| chelz | one thing is those netboot isos aren't gpg signed ;/ | 00:25 |
| chelz | i remember they weren't and i raised it in some ubuntu channel | 00:26 |
| chelz | ball: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads | 00:27 |
| chelz | there is 12.04 for Lubuntu, which has LXDE | 00:27 |
| chelz | latest desktop ISOs for PowerPC are for 10.04, which is supported until April 2013 | 00:28 |
| ball | That's what my sister-in-law has on her i386 desktop | 00:29 |
| chelz | i mean that April 2013 thing for Xubuntu btw, not Lubuntu | 00:32 |
| ball | I understand | 00:33 |
| ball | I just grabbed the .torrent for the 10.04 Xubuntu | 00:33 |
| ball | We'll see if I can make that work. | 00:33 |
| Unit193 | Would be far better off using the mini and installing xubuntu-desktop. | 00:35 |
| ball | If I can make 10.04 work, then I may try using this mini disk. | 00:39 |

| vn | hi, im trying to install xubuntu, but it doesn't list my devices/partitions, what can I do? if I go to ctrl+alt+f1 and into cfdisk, I can manage them... | 01:16 |
| cythes | vn, Are you on a laptop? | 01:18 |
| vn | cythes: at the moment yes, but I am installing on a desktop | 01:18 |
| cythes | Oh I was going to say sometimes I know it sounds silly but the HDD becomes unattached from the computer and I have to slide it back into place (But that is because I am constantly flip flopping drives) Sorry mate thought I could help. | 01:20 |

| Vani | I downloaded avast on Ubuntu, and upon scanning it told me it found a decompression bomb, but it won't let me delete it or move it to chest, what should I do about this? | 03:45 |
| Unit193 | Where is it? | 03:46 |
| Unit193 | !antivirus | 03:46 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 03:46 |
| Vani | Does that mean a decompression bomb would be harmless on a linux? It's in mozilla's cache.... :/ | 03:47 |
| Unit193 | May as well delete it though, if it's just in the cache. | 03:48 |
| Vani | Well, Avast won't let me delete it... so would i have to go into my cache? | 03:48 |
| Unit193 | Firefox > Edit > Preferences > (one of the tabs) > Clear cache. | 03:49 |
| Vani | (one of the tabs) lol, there's a tab called "Tabs" ... it's not that one though | 03:49 |
| Unit193 | Advanced | 03:50 |
| drc | Advanced>Network | 03:52 |
| Vani | :/ if antivirus isn't need on a linux, then how was there a decompression bomb? | 03:53 |
| Vani | oh... that was a bot... | 03:57 |
| Unit193 | It is a virus, but really only a problem on windows. Changing systems doesn't turn it into a non-virus, just doesn't affect the system, | 03:58 |
| Vani | oh... well I wanted to install Avast, cause while I heard Linux is really safe, certain programs can let viruses or hackers in.. like flash | 04:00 |
| Vani | okay, this isn't really an Ubuntu question, but does each web browser have it's own cache? so you have to individually clear them? | 04:04 |
| Unit193 | Yep, though some may use /tmp a little. | 04:04 |
| drc | Vani: Usually, yes... | 04:04 |
| vn | hmm I'm just done installing xubuntu and I cannot click like 10% of links and buttons...any ideas? | 04:50 |
| vn | maybe because my mouse is a rat7? | 04:50 |

| martinphone | does any of you know any compilation of french radio stations ready to be added to rhythmbox, radiotray and the like? | 15:22 |
| drc | martinphone: you can start here...right click on the one(s) you want and save link as (pls), then add to the player of your choice. | 15:25 |
| drc | http://www.shoutcast.com/Internet-Radio/french | 15:25 |
| drc | I know for a fact that they work in RB and RT :) | 15:25 |
| martinphone | drc, omg | 15:26 |
| drc | whay? | 15:26 |
| drc | what? | 15:26 |
| martinphone | 45 minutes of saving as? | 15:26 |
| drc | It's a start.... | 15:26 |
| drc | I know of nothing that is a "one click adds everything to a player"...although there may be. | 15:27 |

| blackgatonegro12 | doing a fresh install of Xubuntu 12.04 right now, any advice? | 15:49 |
| martinphone | backup | 15:49 |
| GridCube | backup | 15:49 |
| drc | and then backup | 15:49 |
| GridCube | mmhm, oh and dont forget to backup | 15:50 |
| blackgatonegro12 | by fresh install, I mean I whited the entire disk, is not an upgrade | 15:50 |
| * drc is seeing atren here | 15:50 | |
| blackgatonegro12 | *whiped | 15:50 |
| GridCube | :D tho nothing bad should happen | 15:50 |
| GridCube | :D then go ahead, if i have a recomendation is having a dedicated partition for /home | 15:50 |
| GridCube | but thats me | 15:50 |
| drc | You've got to have <some> data you want to backup...I also do what GridCube said, then boot the livecd and wipe all the .$CONFIG files , install and its as good as a totally fresh format/install | 15:52 |
| blackgatonegro12 | Well, I had problems after an upgrade, so I decided to to it from zero | 15:52 |
| drc | I also backup the .$CONFIG files and restore those I know I want to use. | 15:53 |
| blackgatonegro12 | I have all the valuable data in a second hard disk, so far that has proven to be the best idea I had in years | 15:53 |
| drc | That works also | 15:53 |
| GridCube | mmhm, but having a dedicated /home its nice because you can simply install clean, delete .$CONFIG files, adn vuala! clean system, except for those tiny configs you like, like for example allyour bookmarks on firefox, all the servers and channels in xchat, etc, etc | 15:56 |
| drc | ok, ok...$CONFIG files <and> folders. | 15:57 |
| blackgatonegro12 | I noticed some config files do seem to have a few problems after upgrading, anyway, having a second hard disk is wise and nowadays kind of cheap. Having a second particion is not such a good idea, there is always the risk of the disk getting dameg and that. | 15:59 |
| GridCube | :) | 15:59 |
| GridCube | mmhm yes | 16:00 |
| blackgatonegro12 | been using ubuntu sistems since version 6, it has improved a lot, but a install from zero is still the best option | 16:00 |
| blackgatonegro12 | anyway, gotta reboot now | 16:00 |
| blackgatonegro12 | bye | 16:00 |
| drc | bye | 16:00 |

| blackgatocatnegr | Xubuntu 12.04 installed an updated, any sugestions? | 17:22 |
| pleia2 | have fun? :) | 17:23 |
| GridCube | :) be happy | 17:23 |
| GridCube | XD | 17:24 |
| blackgatocatnegr | any recommended program? I mean I know libreoffice replaced open office but besides that.... | 17:25 |
| GridCube | blackgatocatnegr, install your driver, gksu jockey-gtk, update programs, install libreoffice if you want | 17:25 |
| GridCube | check that xubuntu-restricted-extras is intalled, check that gmusicbrowers its a media player that you would like to use, i know i dont like it, but hey its tastes | 17:26 |
| blackgatocatnegr | is fresh install from zero, so besides the default programs it has little else | 17:26 |
| GridCube | :) | 17:26 |
| GridCube | check that you have flash installed on firefox | 17:27 |
| blackgatocatnegr | ah yes medibuntu, gotta install that | 17:27 |
| GridCube | if you listen to internet radios you could install vlc or xine to have its plugins, etc, etc. its all tastes | 17:28 |
| blackgatocatnegr | vlc, k3b (I prefer it) what else... audacity.... | 17:28 |
| GridCube | mmhm :) what ever you want, its just an apt-get away from you | 17:28 |
| blackgatocatnegr | actually totem works better for internet radio streams than vlc, at least on linux, but then this is vlc 2.xx, maybe it got better | 17:29 |
| GridCube | don't know | 17:29 |
| GridCube | i just use xine | 17:29 |
| blackgatocatnegr | well, many radios updated in a way that you can only listem to them if you have windows or listem to them using firefox | 17:30 |
| blackgatocatnegr | some even inist in you using winamp | 17:30 |
| GridCube | lol | 17:31 |
| blackgatocatnegr | yes, is sad | 17:31 |
| GridCube | :) blackgatocatnegr this are not support questions, it would be better if you join #xubuntu-offtopic :) | 17:32 |
| blackgatocatnegr | funny, when they still used rm you could listem them in linux thanks to vlc native rm audio suport or something | 17:32 |
| blackgatocatnegr | ok, sorry, any bug besides the usual "Flash is screwed without propitary video driver" I should know about? | 17:32 |
| GridCube | flash is screwed with popietary drivers | 17:34 |
| GridCube | flash is just plain bad | 17:34 |
| blackgatocatnegr | trrue, but until youtube fully moves to html 5, I will have to use it. | 17:35 |
| GridCube | though with all honesty, lately it has been working pretty well, with or without propietary drivers | 17:35 |
| GridCube | i cant complain from the last months | 17:35 |
| GridCube | since 12.04 it hasnt crashed once | 17:35 |
| blackgatocatnegr | Gridcube, all the questions I got about "I upgraded ubuntu, now flash works bad" prove otherwise | 17:35 |
| GridCube | :P well i talk from my experience | 17:36 |
| blackgatocatnegr | but thats just the usual "Forgot to update video driver" stuff | 17:36 |

| xubuntu264 | you are quite right. Main menu | 18:58 |

| GridCube | moreno, check your sources on the software origins settings | 21:45 |
| moreno | GridCube, where? | 21:45 |
| GridCube | mmm in the menus, search for Software Origins, it might be something like "Origenes de Software" | 21:46 |
| moreno | GridCube, didnt find it. :\ | 21:48 |
| GridCube | in synaptic in the configuration menu | 21:48 |
| moreno | GridCube, in configuration i have: preferences, repository, filters, define internal option and tools bar. | 21:51 |
| GridCube | keep seraching the menus, in one there is it | 21:52 |
| moreno | GridCube, dont have it. and they keep saying that i HOLD the broken packages | 21:54 |
| moreno | but it didnt do it | 21:55 |
| GridCube | moreno, you can not "not have it" | 21:55 |
| moreno | GridCube, so ... i dont know | 21:55 |
| moreno | GridCube, :) inportugueses thats nothing like software origins.. | 21:56 |
| moreno | do i have to searcj something in synaptic? | 21:56 |
| moreno | before software origins? | 21:56 |
| GridCube | no you have to see that you have all the origins activated | 21:58 |
