bazhang!ask | xubuntu17603:11
ubottuxubuntu176: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience03:11
xubuntu176Sorry. My question is, why is it that, when I'm watching videos on youtube, blue appears orange, and light skin appears blue?03:12
drctry http://askubuntu.com/questions/117127/flash-video-appears-blue  for a start03:13
xubuntu176Could this have to do with my video/graphics card? I've NVIDIA. I downloaded and installed the driver software.03:13
xubuntu176OK--will check it out. Thank you.03:14
bazhangfull screen the flash, then disable hardware acceleration03:14
drcand that is easier (and the way I did it :)03:14

xubuntu813i have an hp mini... no cd drive... how do i install? i assume download... then do i do a usb back up? do i need to have usb inserted for each reboot? what happens to files?12:44
stratokayeah, write the image to an usb12:45
xubuntu813so start by downloading that penguin path install to usb, and that's it? just keep it inserted?12:46
xubuntu813keep in mind i've never used ubuntu12:46
stratokaare you running windows now?12:46
xubuntu813yes12:46
xubuntu813i'm stoked to do it but i don't want to screw it up or have a poor experience due to inexperience12:47
stratokawww.pendrivelinux.com12:47
stratokadownload universalusbinstaller12:48
stratokaare you trying to install Ubuntu or Xubuntu?12:48
xubuntu813ha, didn't know of a difference12:48
stratokaI suggest to install Ubunt if you dont have linux experience12:49
xubuntu813will i miss out?12:49
DiceI might recommend unetbootin over that pendrivelinux thingy12:49
Dicemain ubuntu has more guides online and bigger support community, but if xubuntu feels better, welcome12:50
xubuntu813do i miss out on ubuntu? interesting12:51
xubuntu813vs. xub12:51
Diceinteresting to set question that way around.. depends what you want and need12:53
xubuntu813i would need a flash with enough memory to keep OS and new files right?  what happens on old files with old OS windows? they just sit there with the old system, not useable with xu or ub?12:54
xubuntu813i was hoping to utilize the good free programs like for dvd burning, and just looking forward to no bs freezing, no updates on windows12:55
=== unrar is now known as unraroFF
xubuntu813i have mac too but software expensive. i wanted to get linuxized but then wondered if the cost of that would equal a purchase of mac software and mac burner upgrade12:56

PrivateReesehey guys i got a broken installation and want to restore or reinstall all packets from the original xubuntu installation can somebody help me?16:35
bazhangbroken how16:36
PrivateReesei am know working with an almost normal system but some packets after the base system where broken and not installed so i had to install xubuntu-desktop myself and now it doesnt really lock like the standard16:38
bazhangwhat are the exact error messages.  paste.ubuntu.com if more than a single line16:40
PrivateReesethere are no errors i am just chatting with you on this system right now but i want the system to look like the standard installation one and also that it is installing standard packets which might have been lost during the installation16:41
PrivateReesepackets like libc-dev make and xfce4 or xubuntu-desktop were missing so i expect the system to run but with a lot of standard and maybe also drivers missing16:42
PrivateReeseand i am sorry but i cannot restore the error message during installation something like "critical error maybe the system has not been installed correctly"16:43
PrivateReesei know from other distribution or some other linux that you can overwrite some config files with the packet supporter ones16:44
PrivateReeseif it is called like this in english in german its "Packetbetreuer"16:45
bazhangthe package manager?16:45
PrivateReeseyeah could be16:45
bazhangPrivateReese, were you installing things from 3rd party sources, such as PPA?16:46
PrivateReeseonly a graphics driver from nvidia16:46
PrivateReesevia sgfxi script16:46
bazhangthe script was in a PPA?16:47
PrivateReeseother things were just installed with xfce4 and xubuntu-desktop  parameters in apt-get install16:47
PrivateReeseisnt there some command like "install and compare packets from cdrom" ?16:49
bazhangwell , you never answered if you used PPA16:51
PrivateReeseor just are there some special repos for xubuntu i only got the ubuntu .com/12.4/16:51
PrivateReeseyou mean if i used external sources?16:51
PrivateReeseor just the normal update process?16:51
bazhangand given you have no specific errors to share, it's 100% guesswork in troubleshooting16:52
bazhangproblems with libc are not encouraging16:52
PrivateReeseyeah how to say it was quite strange to me too16:53
bazhangsounds like you were editing system files, adding suspect packages and the like16:53
bazhanga single nvidia driver script would be hard put to explain the numerous errors you mention16:54
PrivateReesei didnt configure something just installed the missing GUi packets like xfce4 and xubuntu-desktop and i was also installing graphics driver via script.16:55
PrivateReeseand i did not use any personal packet archives16:55
PrivateReeseand as i know all my GUi problems would be solved if i can get config files for the default installation from the packet manager16:56
PrivateReeseif i would knew if its possible16:56
PrivateReeseso bazhang for instance i want my desktop look like this: http://xubuntu.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/precise_01-600x450.png how do i do this?16:58
PrivateReesetheres a package called xubuntu default settings17:02
PrivateReesemaybe this will do it17:02
PrivateReeseyust testing it ;-)17:05

craigbass1976http://pastebin.com/0jtNsX29  This is my current setup.  If I'm on a windows box somewhere on the network, I'm fine.  If I'm on a linux box with something in /etc/fstab like this: //192.168.2.107/moulton-files   /home/craig/share  cifs umask=777,uid=1000,gid=1000   0 0  I create directories that are 775 (others can't write, user and group are good) and then I can not stick things in said directories.  If I create a new FILE, it's18:37

Unit193could use file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 or something close to it, it has worked for me at least.18:39

Unit193Now I'm wondering if it worked.20:03
sambagirlgood evening. i was just re-inforcing my understanding of something. i think that i may possibly successfully upgrade from 10.10 ubumntu 64 to xubuntu and have an interface that i can resolve. am i right?20:56
Unit193Well.... You'd have to go 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04 to be current as 10.10 is EOL.20:58
Unit193!purexfce |Otherwise there is this20:58
ubottuOtherwise there is this: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce »20:58
sambagirlbut see that is why i am getting away from ubuntu  because i like gnome and i am familiar with the layout and stuff. i can use gnome in xubuntu yes?21:18
GridCubeno21:21
GridCube[X]ubuntu the X is for XFCE21:21
GridCubeif you use another window manager then you are not using xfce21:21

tyche_I recently created a LiveUSB key of Xubuntu 12.04 and tried it on my desktop (HP Pavilion HPE) and later on my Dell Inspiron 910 (Early netbook).  In both cases there was a crash report - something about colord, if I remember correctly.  I'd be interested in knowing what it was.22:05
tyche_PS:  I have since installed it on the Dell, and it doesn't happen from the installation.22:06
Unit193It's a daemon to  manage device colour profiles.22:08
sambagirlok so if i recall elive used xfkc correct? sorry i was in another world listening to john luc ponte on headphones and forgot i was online doing this..22:09
tyche_Interesting.  Thanks.  And as I have no known color profiles (Disclaimer:  I'm a perpetual n00bie), it had no effect on the rest of the LiveUSB test.22:09
sambagirli just want to have the menus at the top so i can navigate like i have forever. that's all i want.22:10
pleia2xubuntu has that22:10
Unit193By default at least.22:10
sambagirli can not figure out ubuntu navigation anymore.22:11
sambagirlthat is why i still use 10.1022:11
tyche_Morning pleia2.  I think there's a way through properties to add Applications, too.22:11
=== dbdii407 is now known as Guest40624
pleia2you can add application menus all over the place ;)22:12
sambagirli personally think that microsoft or apple people have infiltrated the ubuntu dev group and are messing it up. well that is my thought. i saw this verhy thing with reactos. same behaviour.22:13
tyche_Otherwise, just click the XFCE icon in the left corner of the bar.22:13
pleia2sambagirl: you might want to try #xubuntu-offtopic ;)22:13
sambagirli thinkj i will just try to go to sleep22:15
Unit193sambagirl: Maybe try a current liveCD of Xubuntu 12.04...22:16
sambagirlok i will try it tomorrow i am to messed up fight now to try that. thanks.22:34
