| marco__ | can someone tell me what does it mean this log? http://pastebin.com/8zFiHNti it's from jockey i get it after xubuntu 12.04 fails to install the updates of my driver (proprietary) | 00:52 |
|---|---|---|
| Mahmoud | any windows installer, like ubuntu's but for xubuntu? | 00:55 |
| bazhang | wubi? | 00:55 |
| Mahmoud | yeah, works for xubuntu? | 00:56 |
| bazhang | never tried it. | 00:56 |
| Mahmoud | does it exist for xubuntu at all? | 00:56 |
| unheeding | wubi has an option to install xubuntu, i believe | 00:58 |
| Mahmoud | neat | 00:59 |
| marco__ | why is xubuntu supported for 3 years while ubuntu for 5?? | 01:11 |
| bazhang | 12.04? | 01:12 |
| marco__ | yes | 01:12 |
| bazhang | !lts | 01:12 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 01:12 |
| bazhang | it's not | 01:12 |
| marco__ | it says 3 years | 01:12 |
| marco__ | (i am talking about the desktop) | 01:12 |
| knome | xubuntu is supported for 3 years, that's true | 01:12 |
| marco__ | why so? | 01:13 |
| bazhang | 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. | 01:13 |
| knome | bazhang, the factoid is incorrect | 01:13 |
| knome | marco__, no workforce to maintain current packages for 5 years | 01:13 |
| marco__ | oh i see | 01:14 |
| knome | !lts | 01:16 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Xubuntu will be supported for 3 years. The current LTS version is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 01:16 |
| knome | bazhang, ^ updated :) | 01:16 |
| marco__ | does anyone know if it's possible to "reduce" the windows on the panel at the bottom and not on the panel on the top? | 01:17 |
| marco__ | it's so uncomfortable having them on the top | 01:18 |

| caboose1911 | Hello everyone | 05:14 |
| doug_carmichael | I have Xubuntu installed in a VM, and when I select 'Xfce Session' (vs 'Xubuntu session'), the Xfce window appearance stays even when I select Xubuntu session. | 05:28 |
| doug_carmichael | Is there any way I can bring back the Xubuntu appearance? | 05:28 |
| the | hello | 06:49 |
| the | can someone please help me with problems with flash player? | 06:50 |
| the | I'm new, just installed xubuntu on my old laptop. adobe flash player is not installed. i want to use firefox. | 06:51 |
| Unit193 | the: Enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin | 06:52 |
| Unit193 | !partner | 06:52 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 06:52 |
| the | flash player version 11 does not work properly, so i want to install version 10 but don't know how. | 06:53 |
| Unit193 | What's wrong with it? | 06:54 |
| the | it crashed several times, i could not watch a youtube video, and now it works but the picture is not fluent it s borderline unwatchable. | 06:58 |
| the | looking up the system requirements for adobe flash player, the problem could be that my laptop has only one GHz, so i figured i'd try version 10, i downloaded it from the adobe archive (for developpers) but i don't understand how to install it (in the terminal). also i am not sure after installing and uninstalling several times if i have the flashplayer on my computer currently, how can i see that? | 07:02 |
| Unit193 | If you used the package manager, you can check that. dpkg -l|grep flash would tell you. | 07:03 |
| the | what is this partner repo you mentioned? should i install it? | 07:03 |
| the | sorry i'm really at a loss... | 07:04 |
| Unit193 | It'll still have flash 11, but you could try apt-pinning at version 10 I'd guess. | 07:04 |
| the | what'S apt-pinning? | 07:04 |
| bazhang | !pinning > the | 07:07 |
| ubottu | the, please see my private message | 07:07 |
| atom_ | Hi, is there anyone ? | 07:12 |
| bazhang | yes | 07:12 |
| atom_ | And is there anyone who can eventually help me ? :D | 07:12 |
| bazhang | atom_, ask the channel and see | 07:13 |
| atom_ | Ok :) | 07:13 |
| atom_ | I'm running Xubuntu 12.01.1 and I would like to set my screen's brightness. I can't from xcfe4 power manager. | 07:14 |
| bazhang | 12.04.1? | 07:14 |
| atom_ | Of course, I press the other arrow by mistake :) | 07:15 |
| atom_ | No-one can help me ? :( | 07:18 |
| the | so I typed the two lines in the terminal (installed the partner repo and checked for flash) and it says: ii adobe-flash-properties-gtk 11.2.202.238-0precise1 GTK+ control panel for Adobe Flash Player plugin version 11 ii adobe-flashplugin 11.2.202.238-0precise1 Adobe Flash Player plugin version 11 rc flashplugin-installer 11.2.202.238ubuntu0.12.04.1 | 07:22 |
| the | so i guess i got adobe flash player. | 07:22 |
| the | plugin | 07:22 |
| the | ? | 07:23 |
| Unit193 | Yep, but did you endup also installing manually? | 07:23 |
| the | would you recommend me to uninstall version 11 and install another one (10?)? how do i uninstall it? | 07:24 |
| Unit193 | the: sudo apt-get purge adobe-flashplugin, then you would do a little apt pinning, I think. | 07:31 |
| the | <unit193> thanks | 07:43 |
| the | the program did that (amongst other things): Removing adobe-flash-properties-gtk ... Removing adobe-flashplugin ... | 07:44 |
| the | so now i install adobe flash player 10 ? (i downloaded it) pinning? | 07:45 |
| the | in the readme from the downloaded adobe flash player it says (among other things): "The following files are available for your use: Release Players: Flash Player 10,3,183,23" ...." Linux: ------ - Plugin: flashplayer_10_3r183_23_linux.tar.gz - Standalone: flashplayer_10_3r183_23_linux_sa.tar.gz" how do install that? | 07:51 |
| the | i guess i need only the plugin not the standalone? | 07:51 |
| Unit193 | Normally you would pin it at version 10 so it installs that, another not great option would be to get a deb off launchpad. Everything you need for manual install should be in an INSTALL file or README. | 07:52 |
| Unit193 | Also, I need to go at this time. | 07:52 |
| the | okay, thanks for your help Unit193!!! | 07:56 |
| the | how do I pin it at version 10. do i have to install it first, no? | 07:58 |
| PedroHLC | Sorry, can anyone help me? What can I do for Xubuntu sessions mount any connected USB devs(without specifying them) on start like Ubuntu sessions do? | 14:00 |

| pAt_ | hmm, try it without padsp -m | 14:58 |
| Guest69098 | opps should be capital M | 14:58 |

| doug_carmichael | I tried installing the XFCE 4.10 PPAs, but after I installed them, I wasn't able to log in successfully. (The login process worked OK, but it just dumped me back to the login screen.) | 15:49 |
| doug_carmichael | What could cause this problem | 15:49 |
| doug_carmichael | ?? | 15:49 |
| doug_carmichael | I can log in on a guest account, but not on my account. | 15:51 |
| David-A | doug_carmichael: maybe a problem with a dot-file. move away one dot-file at a time, try login, if no improvement, move dot-file back and move away the next dot-file. (chuck norris would just remove all dot-files, but thats too harsh) | 16:22 |
| atom_ | Does anyone know an alternative in Xubuntu to the Scale plugin of Compiz ? | 16:58 |
| conspiritech | not me. | 17:01 |
| conspiritech | just wondering what the diffs between regular and alternate iso are | 17:01 |
| atom_ | alternate permit you to install in command line. | 17:02 |

| xubuntu596 | hi | 17:26 |
| nikolaj_basher | Hi, is there someone who has experience with duel screen? | 17:36 |
| Unit193 | I don't, but I know xubuntu.org has a faq with setup info. | 17:37 |
| v1adimir | nikolaj_basher: xubuntu 12.04 for the first time worked by default for me on nvidia 450 gts with 2 different screens | 17:39 |
| nikolaj_basher | v1adimir, I glad to hear that, because I can't get it to work | 17:40 |
| v1adimir | :( | 17:41 |
| v1adimir | nikolaj_basher: I didn't use the xswat repo btw | 17:42 |
| v1adimir | (perhaps it can 'fix' it for you) | 17:42 |
| v1adimir | nikolaj_basher: are you on 12.04.1 supposedly it does fix graphics for nvidia afaik | 17:43 |
| aicasn | is there any way to get ddrescue --fill=+ to ignore write errors? i'm trying to zero out the remaining good sectors of an RMA'd drive | 19:54 |
| David-A | aicasn: i dont know, look if there are other tools. dd and badblocks can write to sequenses of blocks. you'd have to parse the ddrescue log and maybe compute a bit to pass the right args to them. (dont know if any of them can be told to ignore write errors either.) | 20:13 |
| unheeding | when I click on a link in irssi, it opens in chrome (i want this) but then gives me an error saying "failed to execute default web browser" "input/output error." when i put x-www-browser into a terminal, it opens opera, how can i change this to chrome? | 20:31 |
| rensoski | apps prefers ? | 20:33 |
| unheeding | i've set that to chrome | 20:33 |
| unheeding | running x-www-browser still opens opera | 20:34 |

| unheeding | (although it does open up in chrome) | 20:37 |
| rensoski | www.google.com let me see | 20:37 |
| unheeding | you want a screenshot? | 20:38 |
| rensoski | no | 20:38 |
| rensoski | after use update alternatives, use chrome, it ask for default browser, put yes, then click a link in here, and xchat ask you again for default browser | 20:40 |
| rensoski | www.google.com | 20:41 |
| unheeding | opens in chrome, then EXO HELPER 1 message pops up, with the same error | 20:42 |
| unheeding | Failed to execute default Web Browser. | 20:42 |
| rensoski | i try it again, and works | 20:42 |
| unheeding | (but it didn't fail!) | 20:42 |
| unheeding | i'm going to try logging off and on | 20:43 |
| rensoski | ok | 20:43 |
| unheeding | www.google.com | 20:45 |
| unheeding | huh | 20:46 |
| unheeding | it worked without error on opening the browser | 20:46 |
| unheeding | but when i click the link and the browser is already going, i get the error again | 20:46 |
| rensoski | have chromiun ? try if can | 20:49 |
| unheeding | this looks like it's just an issue with chrome | 20:51 |
| unheeding | works with firefox and chromium | 20:51 |

| oelsen | hi | 22:27 |
| oelsen | i wanted to remove samba but somehow despite having delete the init scripts, it still runs | 22:28 |
| oelsen | what program or part of xubuntu needs samba to run and is there a way to stop the system of using those to services? | 22:28 |
| aicasn | you want to remove samba or you want to disable samba on startup? | 22:29 |
| oelsen | not remove, if possible, only that it doesn't run | 22:30 |
| oelsen | on startup or any time when the system is running | 22:30 |
| aicasn | which version of xubuntu are you running? | 22:31 |
| oelsen | oh, dammit, how do I look that up | 22:31 |
| oelsen | uname isn't for that, right? | 22:31 |
| aicasn | lsb_release -a | 22:31 |
| aicasn | the Release line | 22:31 |
| oelsen | 10.04 | 22:32 |
| oelsen | Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS | 22:32 |
| aicasn | hmm.. i don't have a 10.04 anymore.... on 12.04 you could mkdir /etc/init.d-disabled then mv /etc/init.d/{nmbd,smbd,winbind} /etc/init.d-disabled/ | 22:35 |
| oelsen | huh | 22:36 |
| oelsen | pkill doesn't work | 22:36 |
| oelsen | basically "steal" the scripts | 22:37 |
| oelsen | well, that is interesting. I did mv the files but they still run. after a reboot. | 22:40 |
| oelsen | that isn't remotely funny | 22:48 |
| oelsen | smbd did log any devices that advised its name | 22:48 |
| oelsen | I didn't make that | 22:48 |
| oelsen | why is this standard configuration? | 22:48 |
| knome | because that's what most people want when using samba? | 22:49 |
| oelsen | but I didn't use samba at any time | 22:49 |
| oelsen | why is this feature turned on in a standard installation? | 22:49 |
| oelsen | well now those two daemons can't run and the system boots two seconds faster. I hope I don't crash it :D | 22:53 |
| unheeding | does anyone know how to change the style of window decorations without losing the inverted top menu bar? | 23:51 |
| knome | "inverted top menu bar" ? | 23:53 |
| v1adimir | if anyone should care, I've managed to get spelling on hexchat.... [01:32] <v1adimir> TingPing, bviktor: for xubuntu 12.04, it's libenchant-dev that was needed for the spell-checker to work: http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-09032012-013035am.php | 23:53 |
| unheeding | knome: its black with white text, the window decorations are greybird | 23:54 |
| unheeding | if i change the theme the top panel switches to grey and there's no way to get it back | 23:58 |
