[00:00] vagrantc: ubuntu has the pae kernel as default now, is that the issue? [00:00] is there an "alternate installer" for xubuntu? [00:01] holstein: yes, that's the issue. [00:04] 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 [00:06] looks like there's a variant of the installer for non-pae systems, i'll just grab that. [00:07] http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/non-pae/ [00:50] woo first time installing xubuntu [01:19] I think I just stopped Thunderbird from crashing. Anyone else had trouble with extensions geared toward Unity? [02:56] hola [04:12] Hello, I works on xubuntu 12.04. After connecting Kinect and running glview, I get "Number of devices found: 0". Does anyone know why? [05:08] Hello, I works on xubuntu 12.04. After connecting Kinect and running glview, I get "Number of devices found: 0". Does anyone know why? [05:09] 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 [05:11] pleia2: Ok, thank you [05:11] sure, good luck === em is now known as em_ === em_ is now known as em [06:24] Does anyone know how to set the themes of login window in xubuntu 12.04? [08:29] hello, need some help: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1186942/ [08:29] this bug is from yesterday on 1 of my computers [08:30] I have checked in another clean instalation with same software and there wasn't any similar [08:33] olbi: how is that a bug? [08:34] olbi: use apt-get [08:35] I try :) [08:42] omg, aptitude caused problems, apt-get fixed it, grrrr, zzzzz [08:48] problems was with LibreOffice PPA :/ [08:48] but I want LO 3.5x, no 3.4.4 :P Have to try again install it === ubuntu is now known as Afdal [09:53] Hello [09:54] I'm using an on-board RAID0 partition and I'm having trouble booting Xubuntu [09:54] Every time I get past the step "Starting printing spool/server [OK]" [09:54] The boot just stalls [09:55] It doesn't freeze but it doesn't do anything else [09:55] I can hear my computer fan slow down too like it's stopped trying to process anything [09:57] Erm, "Stating CUPS printing spooler/server [OK]" [12:54] can i install xubuntu on a harddrive on one machine and then just transfer the content to another machine? [12:57] Mathias: "transfer"? [12:57] TheSheep: clone the disk [12:58] I don't know what you mean by "clone" [12:59] if you copy the whole disk with dd, it will work [12:59] even if it's another machine? [13:12] clonning disk is very easy if another this have same size [13:12] I use for it Parted Magic with CloneZilla [13:13] olbi: i know how i clone disks [13:13] so You want copy configs and files only? [13:13] but what i actually asked was "can i just move an xubuntu installation to a different computer?" [13:14] you want install it with PXE? [13:14] no... [13:14] or what? cause I dont understand you now :P [13:14] move you mean clone or what? [13:15] moving and cloning should'nt matteR :P [13:15] or* [13:15] Mathias, i [13:15] t should not matter [13:15] GridCube: ok [13:16] finally a clear answer :P [13:16] you can install the system on a disk, remove it and place it on another computer [13:16] ok [13:17] makes installing it on new computers way faster :P [13:17] Mathias, but theres a catch if you do this by, and i quote "cloning" [13:18] the fstab points to UUID's if you use different disks the uuids are different [13:18] you need to change the uuids from fstab, and from grub2 [13:19] that should'nt be too difficult :P [13:19] :) [13:19] everything else its like a livecd [13:19] it should autodetect your stuff [13:20] Mathias, if you change the uuid to relative paths (/dev/sda#) it should be safer [13:20] dont know about grub [13:21] 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] makes having a synced system much faster :P [13:37] Anyone know what it means when a fresh install hangs at "Starting CUPS printing spooler/server [OK]" when trying to boot? [13:53] isn't that just the cups-shit? [13:53] Afdal: printing and stuff over networks [13:54] 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? [13:55] for example Err http://ppa.launchpad.net precise/main i386 Packages 404 Not Found === recon69_lap is now known as recon_lap === mnepton is now known as mneptok [14:09] How can I fix it Mathias? [14:09] my xubuntu start very slow, what can i do [14:10] xubuntu get a faster computer? ;) [14:10] jup 16gb ram [14:11] is in my pc [14:11] xubuntu773: how often have you re-booted? [14:11] after the login, i wait 2minutes [14:11] oh, that's odd [14:12] what version and did you do a clean install? [14:12] xubuntu773, first tell us how long slow is? then have a look in the bootlog to see if any software is failing [14:12] ubuntu server to xubuntu -> apt-get install xubunut-desktop [14:13] xubuntu773: do a clean install [14:13] where is the bootlog [14:13] cat /var/log/boot.log [14:13] thank you [14:14] the server package has loads of servers/daemons to start up [14:14] xubuntu773: true, servers are not really meant to be rebooted often [14:14] xubuntu773: you can also try to have a look at ~/.xsession-errosr [14:15] ok [14:17] oh shit, the error list is very long [14:18] mmm, errors [14:18] feed us [14:18] cannot connect to brltty at :0 [14:18] is installing the GUI on top of a server ever going to give you a stable/fast UI [14:19] ok [14:19] recon_lap: hopefully, no [14:19] reinstall? [14:20] so maybe a fresh install using the desktop ISO probably the quickest way to fix login speed [14:20] ? [14:20] xubuntu773: yup [14:21] ok and the desktop or the alternative cd? [14:21] what is better [14:21] just go for the desktop [14:21] thank you [14:22] 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] it is a hi-spec maschine [14:23] thank you for all :) [15:07] 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] anyone facing this ? [15:09] not really [15:09] alt-f7? [15:10] i know of alt-f5 and f6 [15:10] but not of f7 :/ [15:12] yeah the Alt+F7 is what the options say [15:12] i set it and it works the first time [15:12] then it fails again [15:12] 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] G__81: other shortcuts still work? [15:13] Sysi, the others work fine [15:14] i have now set it to Alt+F3. I ll see if it works [15:14] Sysi, WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-XmmRTc/pkcs11: No such file or directory [15:14] The other problem is that when i do git pull from any website i get this warning [15:14] WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-XmmRTc/pkcs11: No such file or directory [15:14] how do i get rid off this ? [15:44] this is a bug. The shortcut for maximize does not work [15:45] hello [15:46] i've got a problem on xubuntu with the graphic driver [15:46] ? [15:47] i've got a eeepc 1025c [15:47] and xubuntu works good, but in 800x600 [15:48] and when i install the driver, i've got a black screen, and xubuntu can't restart [15:48] 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] http://ompldr.org/vZmRnbQ/nv.png [15:48] i reboot, it tell me: "could not write bytes, broken pipes" [15:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1187423/ [15:49] no one can help me ? [15:51] !patience | xubuntu975 [15:51] 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] it'es my fourth installation, it's boring, but i want to stay with linux, please if someone got a solution, tell me [15:53] xubuntu975, does your computer have nvidia graphics? what does your lspci says about VGA? (do: lspci | grep "VGA" to find out) [15:57] sorry, reboot [15:58] i have a intel cedarview graphic card [15:59] Intel GMA3600/3650 [16:48] 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 [16:49] xdotool mousemove 2500 0 && xbmc & devilspie -a [16:50] if I execute devilspie -a on a separate terminal, all is well. [16:54] akovia: you want && not & [16:55] & just makes it go into background [16:56] 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] either way, it doesn't work. Also tried || [16:57] ah, then just use ; [16:58] 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] akovia: try firing it up into a background(?) screen [16:58] how? [16:59] let me look through man :P [16:59] was it the 2nd command? [17:00] third not firing [17:00] xdotool mousemove 2500 0; screen -d xbmc; devilspie -a [17:00] xdotool mousemove 2500 0 && xbmc works fine [17:00] i think that should do the trick [17:01] need to install screen...sec [17:01] screen should be preinstalled :P [17:02] $ xdotool mousemove 2500 0; screen -d xbmc; devilspie -a [17:02] The program 'screen' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [17:02] sudo apt-get install screen [17:02] bah..There is no screen to be detached matching xbmc [17:03] hmm, need more reading in man then :P [17:03] btw, this is a nvidia Twinview setup [17:03] hence, the reason I can't just $DISPLAY:0.1 xbmc [17:05] xdotool mousemove 2500 0; screen -d -m xbmc; devilspie -a [17:06] i think that should do the trick :) [17:07] well.. it did launch, but it still didn't accept the last command, it may indeed need some sort of wait command [17:07] xdotool mousemove 2500 0; screen -d -m xbmc; sleep 5s; devilspie -a [17:08] SLEEP! [17:08] is 5 seconds enough? [17:08] i was looking at the mans for wait and time lol [17:08] :P [17:08] I LOVE YOU!!, err I mean TYVM [17:09] Finally! [17:09] time just times how long a command took :P [17:09] no problem [17:09] omg, this has taken all morning [17:10] been there :P [17:10] you fight with something just to discover that there is a really easy way :P [17:11] lol, at least it was a one liner instead of some cobbled script [17:13] well off to the next tweak to bend this thing to my will, once again, many thanks [17:18] i just had to do that :P [18:13] hello, i can't install xubuntu, my graphic card nvidia geforce gtx 550 ti don't show the install manager [18:17] xubuntu478: you can try "nomodeset".. its down at the bottom of the menu if you tap shift booting the live CD [18:18] i can't see the menu [18:18] xubuntu478: i would reboot the installer.. start tapping shift right after the bios. you should see f6 at the bottom [18:18] only a black screen and a blinking cursor [18:19] xubuntu478: then you did something wrong :P [18:19] xubuntu478: do you have more than one graphics card in there? [18:19] xubuntu478: you can always try installing with the alternate install disc and using a custom xorg.conf [18:20] only one graphic card [18:21] Hola a todos... ¿alguien habla español? [18:21] 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] xubuntu478: #xubuntu.es or something [18:21] !es | xubuntu089 [18:21] xubuntu089: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[18:51] I am having a problem with a 'laggy' system and notice that a /usr/bin/X11 task is very active in the task manager [18:52] On investigation I find that there are colies of the X11 subfolder replicated at multiple levels ... at least 12 levels.
