| holstein | vagrantc: ubuntu has the pae kernel as default now, is that the issue? | 00:00 |

| vagrantc | is there an "alternate installer" for xubuntu? | 00:00 |
| vagrantc | holstein: yes, that's the issue. | 00:01 |
| holstein | cdimages.ubuntu.com is not loading for me.. i would search "xubuntu 12.04 alterate download" and check back if its not loading for you | 00:04 |
| vagrantc | looks like there's a variant of the installer for non-pae systems, i'll just grab that. | 00:06 |

| pleia2 | isacking: instead of repeating your question, perhaps post to ubuntuforums.org or askubuntu.com ? I don't know if anyone here even has a kinect :) there are lots more people using those other resources so your posting will be seen by more folks who can help | 05:09 |
| isacking | pleia2: Ok, thank you | 05:11 |

| olbi | hello, need some help: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1186942/ | 08:29 |
| olbi | this bug is from yesterday on 1 of my computers | 08:29 |
| olbi | I have checked in another clean instalation with same software and there wasn't any similar | 08:30 |
| TheSheep | olbi: how is that a bug? | 08:33 |
| TheSheep | olbi: use apt-get | 08:34 |
| olbi | I try :) | 08:35 |
| olbi | omg, aptitude caused problems, apt-get fixed it, grrrr, zzzzz | 08:42 |
| olbi | problems was with LibreOffice PPA :/ | 08:48 |
| olbi | but I want LO 3.5x, no 3.4.4 :P Have to try again install it | 08:48 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Afdal | ||
| Afdal | Hello | 09:53 |
| Afdal | I'm using an on-board RAID0 partition and I'm having trouble booting Xubuntu | 09:54 |
| Afdal | Every time I get past the step "Starting printing spool/server [OK]" | 09:54 |
| Afdal | The boot just stalls | 09:54 |
| Afdal | It doesn't freeze but it doesn't do anything else | 09:55 |
| Afdal | I can hear my computer fan slow down too like it's stopped trying to process anything | 09:55 |
| Afdal | Erm, "Stating CUPS printing spooler/server [OK]" | 09:57 |
| Mathias | can i install xubuntu on a harddrive on one machine and then just transfer the content to another machine? | 12:54 |
| TheSheep | Mathias: "transfer"? | 12:57 |
| Mathias | TheSheep: clone the disk | 12:57 |
| TheSheep | I don't know what you mean by "clone" | 12:58 |
| TheSheep | if you copy the whole disk with dd, it will work | 12:59 |
| Mathias | even if it's another machine? | 12:59 |
| olbi | clonning disk is very easy if another this have same size | 13:12 |
| olbi | I use for it Parted Magic with CloneZilla | 13:12 |
| Mathias | olbi: i know how i clone disks | 13:13 |
| olbi | so You want copy configs and files only? | 13:13 |
| Mathias | but what i actually asked was "can i just move an xubuntu installation to a different computer?" | 13:13 |
| olbi | you want install it with PXE? | 13:14 |
| Mathias | no... | 13:14 |
| olbi | or what? cause I dont understand you now :P | 13:14 |
| olbi | move you mean clone or what? | 13:14 |
| Mathias | moving and cloning should'nt matteR :P | 13:15 |
| Mathias | or* | 13:15 |
| GridCube | Mathias, i | 13:15 |
| GridCube | t should not matter | 13:15 |
| Mathias | GridCube: ok | 13:15 |
| Mathias | finally a clear answer :P | 13:16 |
| GridCube | you can install the system on a disk, remove it and place it on another computer | 13:16 |
| Mathias | ok | 13:16 |
| Mathias | makes installing it on new computers way faster :P | 13:17 |
| GridCube | Mathias, but theres a catch if you do this by, and i quote "cloning" | 13:17 |
| GridCube | the fstab points to UUID's if you use different disks the uuids are different | 13:18 |
| GridCube | you need to change the uuids from fstab, and from grub2 | 13:18 |
| Mathias | that should'nt be too difficult :P | 13:19 |
| GridCube | :) | 13:19 |
| GridCube | everything else its like a livecd | 13:19 |
| GridCube | it should autodetect your stuff | 13:19 |
| GridCube | Mathias, if you change the uuid to relative paths (/dev/sda#) it should be safer | 13:20 |
| GridCube | dont know about grub | 13:20 |
| Mathias | first thing i'm going to do is just installing it on one system, then just switch the disk between a laptop and a desktop | 13:21 |
| Mathias | makes having a synced system much faster :P | 13:21 |
| Afdal | Anyone know what it means when a fresh install hangs at "Starting CUPS printing spooler/server [OK]" when trying to boot? | 13:37 |
| Mathias | isn't that just the cups-shit? | 13:53 |
| Mathias | Afdal: printing and stuff over networks | 13:53 |
| recon69_lap | got some junk in my repository list , but looking in /etc/apt/sources.list I can seem to find the entries , should i look else where? | 13:54 |
| recon69_lap | for example Err http://ppa.launchpad.net precise/main i386 Packages 404 Not Found | 13:55 |
| === recon69_lap is now known as recon_lap | ||
| === mnepton is now known as mneptok | ||
| Afdal | How can I fix it Mathias? | 14:09 |
| xubuntu773 | my xubuntu start very slow, what can i do | 14:09 |
| recon_lap | xubuntu get a faster computer? ;) | 14:10 |
| xubuntu773 | jup 16gb ram | 14:10 |
| xubuntu773 | is in my pc | 14:11 |
| ochosi | xubuntu773: how often have you re-booted? | 14:11 |
| xubuntu773 | after the login, i wait 2minutes | 14:11 |
| ochosi | oh, that's odd | 14:11 |
| ochosi | what version and did you do a clean install? | 14:12 |
| recon_lap | xubuntu773, first tell us how long slow is? then have a look in the bootlog to see if any software is failing | 14:12 |
| xubuntu773 | ubuntu server to xubuntu -> apt-get install xubunut-desktop | 14:12 |
| Mathias | xubuntu773: do a clean install | 14:13 |
| xubuntu773 | where is the bootlog | 14:13 |
| recon_lap | cat /var/log/boot.log | 14:13 |
| xubuntu773 | thank you | 14:13 |
| Mathias | the server package has loads of servers/daemons to start up | 14:14 |
| recon_lap | xubuntu773: true, servers are not really meant to be rebooted often | 14:14 |
| ochosi | xubuntu773: you can also try to have a look at ~/.xsession-errosr | 14:14 |
| xubuntu773 | ok | 14:15 |
| xubuntu773 | oh shit, the error list is very long | 14:17 |
| Mathias | mmm, errors | 14:18 |
| Mathias | feed us | 14:18 |
| xubuntu773 | cannot connect to brltty at :0 | 14:18 |
| recon_lap | is installing the GUI on top of a server ever going to give you a stable/fast UI | 14:18 |
| xubuntu773 | ok | 14:19 |
| Mathias | recon_lap: hopefully, no | 14:19 |
| xubuntu773 | reinstall? | 14:19 |
| recon_lap | so maybe a fresh install using the desktop ISO probably the quickest way to fix login speed | 14:20 |
| recon_lap | ? | 14:20 |
| Mathias | xubuntu773: yup | 14:20 |
| xubuntu773 | ok and the desktop or the alternative cd? | 14:21 |
| xubuntu773 | what is better | 14:21 |
| Mathias | just go for the desktop | 14:21 |
| xubuntu773 | thank you | 14:21 |
| recon_lap | xubuntu773: well sound like you computer is hi-spec, so the desktop , main differ is alternative uses text based installer for low spec mechines | 14:22 |
| xubuntu773 | it is a hi-spec maschine | 14:22 |
| xubuntu773 | thank you for all :) | 14:23 |
| G__81 | I am running xubuntu 12.04 but for some reason the terminal maximize shortcut (Alt + F7) gets broken after i save it also. It works immediately after i save it but then once i reboot it gets lost | 15:07 |
| G__81 | anyone facing this ? | 15:07 |
| GridCube | not really | 15:09 |
| GridCube | alt-f7? | 15:09 |
| GridCube | i know of alt-f5 and f6 | 15:10 |
| GridCube | but not of f7 :/ | 15:10 |
| G__81 | yeah the Alt+F7 is what the options say | 15:12 |
| G__81 | i set it and it works the first time | 15:12 |
| G__81 | then it fails again | 15:12 |
| mips1911 | I can't save my nvidia-settings and keep on getting "Unable to open X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' for writing. Can't save it to my /home either | 15:12 |
| Sysi | G__81: other shortcuts still work? | 15:12 |
| G__81 | Sysi, the others work fine | 15:13 |
| G__81 | i have now set it to Alt+F3. I ll see if it works | 15:14 |
| G__81 | Sysi, WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-XmmRTc/pkcs11: No such file or directory | 15:14 |
| G__81 | The other problem is that when i do git pull from any website i get this warning | 15:14 |
| G__81 | WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-XmmRTc/pkcs11: No such file or directory | 15:14 |
| G__81 | how do i get rid off this ? | 15:14 |
| G__81 | this is a bug. The shortcut for maximize does not work | 15:44 |
| xubuntu975 | hello | 15:45 |
| xubuntu975 | i've got a problem on xubuntu with the graphic driver | 15:46 |
| mips1911 | ? | 15:46 |
| xubuntu975 | i've got a eeepc 1025c | 15:47 |
| xubuntu975 | and xubuntu works good, but in 800x600 | 15:47 |
| xubuntu975 | and when i install the driver, i've got a black screen, and xubuntu can't restart | 15:48 |
| mips1911 | I can't save my nvidia-settings xorg output and if I save it manualy (copy & paste) it's not applied at reboot | 15:48 |
| mips1911 | http://ompldr.org/vZmRnbQ/nv.png | 15:48 |
| xubuntu975 | i reboot, it tell me: "could not write bytes, broken pipes" | 15:48 |
| mips1911 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1187423/ | 15:48 |
| xubuntu975 | no one can help me ? | 15:49 |
| GridCube | !patience | xubuntu975 | 15:51 |
| ubottu | xubuntu975: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 15:51 |
| xubuntu975 | it'es my fourth installation, it's boring, but i want to stay with linux, please if someone got a solution, tell me | 15:51 |
| GridCube | xubuntu975, does your computer have nvidia graphics? what does your lspci says about VGA? (do: lspci | grep "VGA" to find out) | 15:53 |
| xubuntu975 | sorry, reboot | 15:57 |

| akovia | looking for help with a one-liner to launch my xbmc on the correct monitor. I need to use 3 commands and the first 2 go fine, but the third never executes | 16:48 |
| akovia | xdotool mousemove 2500 0 && xbmc & devilspie -a | 16:49 |
| akovia | if I execute devilspie -a on a separate terminal, all is well. | 16:50 |
| TheSheep | akovia: you want && not & | 16:54 |
| TheSheep | & just makes it go into background | 16:55 |
| akovia | tried that, apparently && will only execute the third command if the second has an exit status of 1, which I don't want it to exit | 16:56 |
| akovia | either way, it doesn't work. Also tried || | 16:56 |
| TheSheep | ah, then just use ; | 16:57 |
| akovia | same =\, wondering if I need some wait command or something as i can execute the third command in a new terminal and it works fine | 16:58 |
| Mathias | akovia: try firing it up into a background(?) screen | 16:58 |
| akovia | how? | 16:58 |
| Mathias | let me look through man :P | 16:59 |
| Mathias | was it the 2nd command? | 16:59 |
| akovia | third not firing | 17:00 |
| Mathias | xdotool mousemove 2500 0; screen -d xbmc; devilspie -a | 17:00 |
| akovia | xdotool mousemove 2500 0 && xbmc works fine | 17:00 |
| Mathias | i think that should do the trick | 17:00 |
| akovia | need to install screen...sec | 17:01 |
| Mathias | screen should be preinstalled :P | 17:01 |
| akovia | $ xdotool mousemove 2500 0; screen -d xbmc; devilspie -a | 17:02 |
| akovia | The program 'screen' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 17:02 |
| akovia | sudo apt-get install screen | 17:02 |
| akovia | bah..There is no screen to be detached matching xbmc | 17:02 |
| Mathias | hmm, need more reading in man then :P | 17:03 |
| akovia | btw, this is a nvidia Twinview setup | 17:03 |
| akovia | hence, the reason I can't just $DISPLAY:0.1 xbmc | 17:03 |
| Mathias | xdotool mousemove 2500 0; screen -d -m xbmc; devilspie -a | 17:05 |
| Mathias | i think that should do the trick :) | 17:06 |
| akovia | well.. it did launch, but it still didn't accept the last command, it may indeed need some sort of wait command | 17:07 |
| Mathias | xdotool mousemove 2500 0; screen -d -m xbmc; sleep 5s; devilspie -a | 17:07 |
| akovia | SLEEP! | 17:08 |
| Mathias | is 5 seconds enough? | 17:08 |
| akovia | i was looking at the mans for wait and time lol | 17:08 |
| Mathias | :P | 17:08 |
| akovia | I LOVE YOU!!, err I mean TYVM | 17:08 |
| akovia | Finally! | 17:09 |
| Mathias | time just times how long a command took :P | 17:09 |
| Mathias | no problem | 17:09 |
| akovia | omg, this has taken all morning | 17:09 |
| Mathias | been there :P | 17:10 |
| Mathias | you fight with something just to discover that there is a really easy way :P | 17:10 |
| akovia | lol, at least it was a one liner instead of some cobbled script | 17:11 |
| akovia | well off to the next tweak to bend this thing to my will, once again, many thanks | 17:13 |
| Mathias | i just had to do that :P | 17:18 |
| xubuntu478 | hello, i can't install xubuntu, my graphic card nvidia geforce gtx 550 ti don't show the install manager | 18:13 |
| holstein | xubuntu478: you can try "nomodeset".. its down at the bottom of the menu if you tap shift booting the live CD | 18:17 |
| xubuntu478 | i can't see the menu | 18:18 |
| holstein | xubuntu478: i would reboot the installer.. start tapping shift right after the bios. you should see f6 at the bottom | 18:18 |
| xubuntu478 | only a black screen and a blinking cursor | 18:18 |
| Mathias | xubuntu478: then you did something wrong :P | 18:19 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu478: do you have more than one graphics card in there? | 18:19 |
| holstein | xubuntu478: you can always try installing with the alternate install disc and using a custom xorg.conf | 18:19 |
| xubuntu478 | only one graphic card | 18:20 |
| xubuntu089 | Hola a todos... ¿alguien habla español? | 18:21 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it is what i expect to see xubuntu478 | 18:21 |
| Mathias | xubuntu478: #xubuntu.es or something | 18:21 |
| holstein | !es | xubuntu089 | 18:21 |
| ubottu | xubuntu089: 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. | 18:21 |
| xubuntu478 | the alternate install is successfully but after grub is the black screen back | 18:22 |
| xubuntu089 | In fact I speak a little of English but I was checking this channel, thank you very much XD | 18:23 |
| holstein | xubuntu478: you can try http://alexcovac.hubpages.com/hub/How-to-configure-Xorg-in-Ubuntu | 18:23 |
| holstein | however method you want to use to try the vesa driver is what i suggest | 18:24 |
| xubuntu478 | Thank you very much | 18:24 |
| someone235 | hi, how can I set my mouse sensitivity? | 18:26 |
| holstein | someone235: you looked in xfce4-settings ? | 18:27 |

| someone235 | it says somesing in pixels | 18:29 |
| holstein | someone235: i usually just play with those settings.. you can always fire up a live CD and test without worrying about breaking anything... or make a new user, or try the guest account | 18:29 |
| someone235 | holstein, my problem is that when I click just a short click with the middle button on a link, three new tabs get opened | 18:33 |
| someone235 | or when I click "x" on one window, the window that behind it is closing too | 18:34 |
| someone235 | because it gets two clicks... | 18:34 |
