| n2diy | what plugin do I need to watch youtube in chromium? | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| elsuco | n2diy, "sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin" should do the job... | 00:12 |
| holstein | n2diy: flash... you can try chrome which comes with its own flash | 00:12 |
| n2diy | ok thanks, now youtube is working, but videos in facebook won't play. | 00:19 |
| holstein | might need to reload the browser | 00:19 |
| holstein | if its not flash, flash wont help you play them | 00:20 |
| viper117x123 | Would anyone be able to help me install xubuntu from a USB? | 00:45 |
| holstein | i would try downloading the LIVE iso viper117x123 , and use unetbootin to create a bootable USB stick | 00:46 |
| viper117x123 | I've already created the bootable USB stick, however it doesn't seem to be booting correctly | 00:46 |
| holstein | viper117x123: i would confirm the iso either from the installer menu, or.. | 00:47 |
| holstein | !md5 | viper117x123 | 00:47 |
| ubottu | viper117x123: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 00:47 |
| holstein | then, i would format the stick and make it again fresh | 00:47 |
| holstein | i would try the stick in another machine... i would try another stick with the same machine | 00:47 |
| viper117x123 | I've downloaded the ISO and created the bootable from multiple PCs | 00:48 |
| viper117x123 | And multiple ISO files | 00:48 |
| viper117x123 | Have also formated the USB and tried again | 00:49 |
| holstein | viper117x123: cool... you can just confirm it once, then you'llknow | 00:49 |
| holstein | viper117x123: if you are sure all is well, then, i would try hitting shift when you see the first thing popup on the screen | 00:50 |
| holstein | i would then go to the F6 menu, and try 'nomodeset' | 00:50 |
| holstein | you can try other options there as well... or elaborate on how the stick is failing | 00:50 |
| viper117x123 | When I try and boot in the screen will go black | 00:50 |
| Barnabas | hold it | 00:50 |
| viper117x123 | I use to get what looked like an accessibility icon and keyboard | 00:51 |

| === mnepton is now known as mneptok | ||
| holstein | i would wnat to see it live, i would choose "dont install" i would try it live... and i would try nomodeset first | 00:51 |
| viper117x123 | I can't get to a point to try it as a live usb | 00:51 |
| holstein | viper117x123: where can you get? | 00:52 |
| holstein | can you hit shift and get to the menu with F6 at the bottom? | 00:52 |
| viper117x123 | No | 00:52 |
| viper117x123 | I don't think so | 00:52 |
| holstein | viper117x123: try hitting shift, then you'll know | 00:52 |
| viper117x123 | ... I 'll try, but I've had to do some "fixes" to solve a "xubuntu 12.04 unknow keyword in configuration file" error | 00:53 |
| viper117x123 | Will format the USB and remount the ISO to it | 00:53 |
| holstein | so, you got it to instal? | 00:53 |
| viper117x123 | No | 00:53 |
| holstein | im not following then.. not sure what an unknown keyword error is, but i was thinking that would be after install | 00:54 |
| holstein | anyways, sometimes there are unsupported graphics cards that need nomodeset ...this is like safe graphics mode AFAIK | 00:54 |
| viper117x123 | That sounds promising | 00:55 |
| holstein | this has working for me viper117x123 on several machine that just go to a black screen, which is what i thought you were having | 00:55 |
| viper117x123 | I am going to try what you've suggested holding shift while I boot? | 00:56 |
| viper117x123 | Then Press F6 | 00:56 |
| viper117x123 | And select nomodeset? | 00:57 |
| holstein | viper117x123: i would just hit shift.. when you first see something thats not bios related | 00:57 |
| viper117x123 | Okay | 00:57 |
| viper117x123 | Thanks a lot for the help | 00:57 |
| viper117x123 | I'll try it now! | 00:57 |

| holstein | n2diy: i would not run that... | 01:02 |
| holstein | n2diy: sounds phishy to me ;) | 01:02 |
| n2diy | holstein, why not? | 01:02 |
| Viper117x123_ | Right | 01:03 |
| holstein | n2diy: the flash plugin has your permission to run, if its installed, and your user is runing the web browser and flash plugin | 01:03 |
| n2diy | holstein, ok, some other videos say missing plugin, but I installed all the video plugins I could find in the software center? | 01:03 |
| Viper117x123_ | So doing it in windows I ran the winMd5sum software | 01:03 |

| Viper117x123_ | Okay | 01:05 |
| holstein | Viper117x123_: you can always use the main ubuntu one, and convert to xubuntu | 01:05 |
| holstein | Viper117x123_: or download some minimal iso | 01:05 |

| holstein | ive never needed to fix them... i know i used to get them with dsl, and i just went and bought cds, but that was years ago | 01:10 |
| Viper117x123_ | I've been reading through them thanks ^_^ | 01:11 |
| Viper117x123_ | OKay.. so with the Ubuntu 12.04 I'm getting the same syslinux 3.63 error that I was getting before.. | 01:12 |
| holstein | same internet downloaded them, so i would confirm the sum.. i would try the sticks on any other machine | 01:12 |
| Viper117x123_ | Maybe the boot usb program isn't working properly | 01:13 |
| holstein | maybe.. trying them on any other machine will confirm that | 01:13 |
| Viper117x123_ | It is running on ubuntu 9.04 cos that was the only disc I had lying around.. | 01:13 |
| holstein | it? | 01:14 |
| Viper117x123_ | The laptop I'm trying to install xubuntu on | 01:14 |
| holstein | "it" shouldnt matter | 01:14 |
| n2diy | holstein, I just tried running the local weather radar video, and was told the plugin needs my permission to run, that is a trusted website I've used before. | 01:19 |
| holstein | n2diy: did you give it permission? | 01:20 |
| holstein | n2diy: i would try chrome, it has its own verion of flash that is up to date | 01:20 |
| n2diy | holstein, how, where, which plugin, it doesn't tell me anything else? | 01:21 |
| holstein | n2diy: it?.. you mean chromium? i dont know what you are looking at | 01:22 |
| holstein | n2diy: im suggesting trying the chrome browser, as maybe there is something needing a new version of flash | 01:22 |
| holstein | othewise, take a screenshot if you'd like, and we'll look at what you are seeing | 01:23 |
| holstein | if you havent logged out since installing the flash plugin, that wouldnt hurt to try | 01:23 |
| n2diy | holstein, sorry, yes, it is chromium, new install of Xu 12.04 | 01:24 |
| holstein | adobe doesnt support flash in linux anymore... google supports flash in chrome for linux | 01:24 |
| n2diy | holstein, ok, I reloaded the page, and was prompted to give permission for shockwave to play on that website. When I do, a box reports shockwave has crashed. | 01:28 |
| holstein | n2diy: AFAIK, you dont have shockwave | 01:28 |
| holstein | you only installed flash | 01:29 |
| holstein | i would just load up actual chrome and see | 01:29 |
| n2diy | holstein, ok, I went back to the software center, and now there is a newer version of adobe flash. I'll give that a try. | 01:34 |

| james123 | Hello, I've got a problem when I boot up only being about to use nomodeset, is anyone able to help? | 03:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | james123: why is using nomodeset a problem? | 03:52 |
| james123 | Is it not one? It seems like the resolution is lower than it was before I installed xubuntu | 03:53 |
| james123 | I assumed that was because I was using nomodeset, before when I booted up the screen was completely blank | 03:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | nomodeset only affects the console afaik - what does xubuntu say the available resolutions are? | 03:54 |
| james123 | Also every time I turn on the laptop I have to hold shift to load into grub, edit the launch command | 03:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | it's easy enough to permanantly add it to the kernel line in grub | 03:55 |

| james123 | This is a fresh install, the original problem was that when I booted I'd just get a black screen | 10:47 |
| james123 | Only way to get in was holding shift and changing the boot command to have nomodeset | 10:48 |
| baizon | well then add it to your grub.conf | 10:48 |
| james123 | But the resolution is wrong | 10:49 |
| james123 | It isn't using the intel drivers | 10:49 |
| james123 | It's using VESA drivers I think | 10:49 |
| baizon | ok | 10:49 |
| james123 | I'm not sure how to change it | 10:50 |
| baizon | james123: http://askubuntu.com/questions/60579/intel-gma-4500m-screen-resolution-problem | 10:50 |
| james123 | I currently have added to the grub acpi_osi= i915.modeset=0 | 10:50 |
| baizon | last answer should solve your problem | 10:51 |
| james123 | I've tried that | 10:52 |
| james123 | So it should read | 10:52 |
| james123 | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=" | 10:52 |
| james123 | ? | 10:52 |
| baizon | acpi_osi=Linux | 10:53 |

| fusk | Anyone know how to add a new button in a menu ? | 17:12 |
| Mathsterk | fusk: yes | 17:12 |
| Mathsterk | i don't | 17:13 |
| Mathsterk | but someone do | 17:13 |
| Azazel | fusk: do you mean add a new menu or change an icon in the menu? | 17:16 |
| fusk | Add a new option in a dropdown menu | 17:17 |
| Azazel | easiest way would be: Menu > Settings > Main Menu > Add | 17:18 |
| fusk | it's in the dropdown menu for when laptop is closed in powermanagement | 17:20 |
| Azazel | ahh nvm then, thought you meant the main menu. :P | 17:20 |
| fusk | Azazel, nah, it's because the sleep function is broken in ubuntu and all it's siblings, want to use a diffrent one and add that as an option. | 17:23 |

| MReaper-17 | hello | 17:46 |
| MReaper-17 | hola | 17:52 |
| bazhang | !es | MReaper-17 | 17:57 |
| ubottu | MReaper-17: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #xubuntu-es; escriba "/join #xubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. Si nadie responde, puedes intentar preguntando en #ubuntu-es. | 17:57 |
| BankZ | any tips on how to make xubuntu look cool? | 18:40 |
| bazhang | !themes | BankZ | 18:45 |
| ubottu | BankZ: To change your theme in Xubuntu, go to Settings Manager » Appearance (GTK+ theme) or Settings Manager » Window Manager (xfwm4 theme) to change the theme - find more themes at http://xfce-look.org/ or http://gnome-look.org/ (for GTK+ themes) | 18:45 |
| Unit193 | Best bet with themes is going with Shimmer themes, or that other one I can't remember as most don't support GTK2 and GTK3 well. | 18:46 |
| Mathsterk | anything fun i can do while reinstalling my system? :P | 18:47 |
| BankZ | Shimmer themes? | 18:50 |
| Unit193 | http://shimmerproject.org | 18:51 |
| BankZ | meh. make little difference | 18:53 |
| BankZ | ohh, well, I will slum it | 18:54 |
| BankZ | I see this and it looks cool: | 18:56 |
| BankZ | https://twitter.com/#!/xoomdev/media/slideshow?url=pic.twitter.com%2FXxnkzfMB | 18:56 |
| Mathsterk | isn't that fedora? | 18:57 |
| pleia2 | "cool" is very subjective, maybe ask them what themes they are using? | 18:57 |
| Unit193 | That is KDE. | 18:57 |
| BankZ | ok, maybe I will try KDE | 18:58 |
| Mathsterk | i saw the little "f" in the bottom left corner :P | 18:58 |
| BankZ | is it easy to install kde on xubuntu? | 18:59 |
| pleia2 | probably just search the software center for kde | 18:59 |
| aquix | think the package is called kde-standard | 19:00 |
| Mathsterk | !kde | 19:00 |
| ubottu | KDE (http://kde.org) is an open community that creates and maintains software including the Plasma desktop. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. | 19:00 |
| BankZ | ok, lets see if this make linux more usable | 19:02 |
| BankZ | do you guys run windows at all? | 19:03 |
| BankZ | like in a VM? | 19:03 |
| Mathsterk | i run it on my toilet | 19:03 |
| pleia2 | BankZ: for non-support questions you probably want #xubuntu-offtopic :) | 19:04 |
| BankZ | sorry, im a n00b | 19:04 |
| b00010111 | Hey folks, I have a question regarding busybox. I followed this guide http://blog.markloiseau.com/2012/05/ubuntu-aes-xts-plain64/ to setup full disk encryption. BUT I do not want a password, I want a keyfile. So I changes cryptsetup parameter. Everything works fine: encryption and decryption. While I' am trying to boot the new system I drop to a busybox shell. So far everything fine. I mount the usb stick with the keyfile, encrypt the device /sda3 | 19:09 |
| b00010111 | I tried to move (mount --move) /proc /sys and /dev to the mounted & encryped device (sda3) | 19:10 |
| b00010111 | works | 19:10 |
| b00010111 | then I try to switch_root /new_root | 19:10 |
| b00010111 | but which init script to I need and with params? | 19:10 |
| b00010111 | i tried init script that is located in /boot with the parameters in proc/cmdline | 19:11 |
| b00010111 | but I still get the same error /dev/mapper/crypt (encrypted device sda3) missing | 19:12 |
| b00010111 | anyone successfully implemented xubuntu with fulldisk encryption and key-file? | 19:13 |
| b00010111 | any help is much appreciated | 19:13 |
| b00010111 | links to guides also welcome | 19:15 |
| Unit193 | All I can say is I know truecrypt does keyfiles, and does drive encryption, but don't remember if it does both. | 19:15 |
| Mathsterk | Unit193: it does both | 19:15 |
| Unit193 | Mathsterk: Thank you. | 19:15 |
| b00010111 | but truecrypt is not able to encrypt folders and files | 19:16 |
| Mathsterk | i've played enough with truecrypt to remember that :P | 19:16 |
| b00010111 | as I know it is not able to create a true fulldisk encryption with preboot auth | 19:16 |
| Unit193 | I did the windows encryption a long time ago, and I have done keyfiles too, even have it installed here. | 19:16 |
| b00010111 | I have a windows system with truecrypt and preboot auth as well | 19:17 |
| b00010111 | but I don't see this on unix systems | 19:17 |
| b00010111 | I think is is not possible | 19:17 |
| Unit193 | The alternate installer offers LVM with enctyption in the partitioning screen. | 19:18 |
| b00010111 | I know, but as far a I know only with password | 19:18 |
| b00010111 | no option for keyfiles | 19:18 |
| b00010111 | I really like to have a bin keyfile, like a .jpg, cause you can hide it on an sd-card with hundreds of other pictures | 19:27 |
| b00010111 | that's why I' am not happy with a password ;) | 19:27 |
| Mathsterk | hide the password with other passwords | 19:28 |
| b00010111 | that is not the same. A SD card with pictures is quit normal and will not raise attention | 19:30 |
| b00010111 | a list of random strings will raise attention | 19:30 |
| b00010111 | It is a bit paranoid I know. | 19:31 |
| b00010111 | but it must be possible to get this setup working | 19:31 |

| ps2aux | does anybody know if i can use the alternate installer cd to install xubuntu 12.04 without going into X? | 21:40 |
| holstein | ps2aux: thats what it should do... should work great with lower ram | 21:41 |
| ps2aux | Every time i start with the install cd in, it goes into x and wants to install from there, and proceeds to die. | 21:41 |
| ps2aux | i remember i had an older ubuntu alternate install disk, and it had a command line installer which worked great, so i was hoping there may be something similar here | 21:42 |
| holstein | ps2aux: its the alternate installer | 21:44 |
| holstein | you'll see it here ps2aux http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/precise/release/ | 21:44 |
| holstein | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/precise/release/xubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso for example | 21:44 |
| ps2aux | i could have sworn that's what i have, but i'll double check! it won't be the first time i've let something semi-obvious slip by me. thanks | 21:45 |
| holstein | ps2aux: no worries... let us know | 21:46 |
| ps2aux | will do | 21:46 |
| greasegum | this is annoying me in xfce-panel: when I click the icon of a focused window to minimize it, I can't click again to bring it back immediately. I have to focus another window first, then I can click to restore. anyone not have this problem? | 21:48 |
| Mathsterk | greasegum: not afaik | 21:54 |
| greasegum | Mathsterk:: ok, hmmm. I wonder how I might go about changing this behavior. Any thoughts? | 22:00 |
| Mathsterk | check menu > settings > settings manager > window manager | 22:01 |
| Mathsterk | must be something there | 22:01 |
| ps2aux | I just wanted to thank you for your help earlier... If you would believe this, I had both installation CDs in my machine... so I wasn't crazy in thinking that I had the alternate installer, just crazy in not noticing that both my drives were loaded | 22:12 |

| xubuntu911 | Hello. I dual-booted Xubuntu for the first time onto my Dell Latitude D610 laptop via a DVD. Unfortunately, I am unable to connect to my verizon wireless network; due to the error: "Wireless Networks: device not ready (firmware missing)" . Nothing I found on the internet seems to be able to help. Any advice? | 23:59 |
