[00:00] <holstein> vagrantc: ubuntu has the pae kernel as default now, is that the issue?
[00:00] <vagrantc> is there an "alternate installer" for xubuntu?
[00:01] <vagrantc> holstein: yes, that's the issue.
[00:04] <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
[00:06] <vagrantc> looks like there's a variant of the installer for non-pae systems, i'll just grab that.

[00:50] <Crumson> woo first time installing xubuntu
[01:19] <Guest59943> I think I just stopped Thunderbird from crashing.  Anyone else had trouble with extensions geared toward Unity?

[04:12] <isacking> 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] <isacking> 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] <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
[05:11] <isacking> pleia2: Ok, thank you
[05:11] <pleia2> sure, good luck
[06:24] <isacking> Does anyone know how to set the themes of login window in xubuntu 12.04?
[08:29] <olbi> hello, need some help: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1186942/
[08:29] <olbi> this bug is from yesterday on 1 of my computers
[08:30] <olbi> I have checked in another clean instalation with same software and there wasn't any similar
[08:33] <TheSheep> olbi: how is that a bug?
[08:34] <TheSheep> olbi: use apt-get
[08:35] <olbi> I try :)
[08:42] <olbi> omg, aptitude caused problems, apt-get fixed it, grrrr, zzzzz
[08:48] <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
[09:53] <Afdal> Hello
[09:54] <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
[09:55] <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
[09:57] <Afdal> Erm, "Stating CUPS printing spooler/server     [OK]"
[12:54] <Mathias> can i install xubuntu on a harddrive on one machine and then just transfer the content to another machine?
[12:57] <TheSheep> Mathias: "transfer"?
[12:57] <Mathias> TheSheep: clone the disk
[12:58] <TheSheep> I don't know what you mean by "clone"
[12:59] <TheSheep> if you copy the whole disk with dd, it will work
[12:59] <Mathias> even if it's another machine?
[13:12] <olbi> clonning disk is very easy if another this have same size
[13:12] <olbi> I use for it Parted Magic with CloneZilla
[13:13] <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?"
[13:14] <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?
[13:15] <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
[13:16] <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
[13:17] <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"
[13:18] <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
[13:19] <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
[13:20] <GridCube> Mathias, if you change the uuid to relative paths (/dev/sda#) it should be safer
[13:20] <GridCube> dont know about grub
[13:21] <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
[13:37] <Afdal> Anyone know what it means when a fresh install hangs at "Starting CUPS printing spooler/server     [OK]" when trying to boot?
[13:53] <Mathias> isn't that just the cups-shit?
[13:53] <Mathias> Afdal: printing and stuff over networks
[13:54] <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?
[13:55] <recon69_lap> for example Err http://ppa.launchpad.net precise/main i386 Packages                     404  Not Found
[14:09] <Afdal> How can I fix it Mathias?
[14:09] <xubuntu773> my xubuntu start very slow, what can i do
[14:10] <recon_lap> xubuntu get a faster computer? ;)
[14:10] <xubuntu773> jup 16gb ram
[14:11] <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
[14:12] <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
[14:13] <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
[14:14] <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
[14:15] <xubuntu773> ok
[14:17] <xubuntu773> oh shit, the error list is very long
[14:18] <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
[14:19] <xubuntu773> ok
[14:19] <Mathias> recon_lap: hopefully, no
[14:19] <xubuntu773> reinstall?
[14:20] <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
[14:21] <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
[14:22] <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
[14:23] <xubuntu773> thank you for all :)
[15:07] <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 ?
[15:09] <GridCube> not really
[15:09] <GridCube> alt-f7?
[15:10] <GridCube> i know of alt-f5 and f6
[15:10] <GridCube> but not of f7 :/
[15:12] <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?
[15:13] <G__81> Sysi, the others work fine
[15:14] <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 ?
[15:44] <G__81> this is a bug. The shortcut for maximize does not work
[15:45] <xubuntu975> hello
[15:46] <xubuntu975> i've got a problem on xubuntu with the graphic driver
[15:46] <mips1911> ?
[15:47] <xubuntu975> i've got a eeepc 1025c
[15:47] <xubuntu975> and xubuntu works good, but in 800x600
[15:48] <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/
[15:49] <xubuntu975> no one can help me ?
[15:51] <GridCube> !patience | xubuntu975
[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
[15:53] <GridCube> xubuntu975, does your computer have nvidia graphics? what does your lspci says about VGA? (do: lspci | grep "VGA"   to find out)
[15:57] <xubuntu975> sorry, reboot
[15:58] <xubuntu975> i have a intel cedarview graphic card
[15:59] <xubuntu975> Intel GMA3600/3650
[16:48] <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
[16:49] <akovia> xdotool mousemove 2500 0 && xbmc & devilspie -a
[16:50] <akovia> if I execute devilspie -a on a separate terminal, all is well.
[16:54] <TheSheep> akovia: you want && not &
[16:55] <TheSheep> & just makes it go into background
[16:56] <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 ||
[16:57] <TheSheep> ah, then just use ;
[16:58] <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?
[16:59] <Mathias> let me look through man :P
[16:59] <Mathias> was it the 2nd command?
[17:00] <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
[17:01] <akovia> need to install screen...sec
[17:01] <Mathias> screen should be preinstalled :P
[17:02] <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
[17:03] <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
[17:05] <Mathias> xdotool mousemove 2500 0; screen -d -m xbmc; devilspie -a
[17:06] <Mathias> i think that should do the trick :)
[17:07] <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
[17:08] <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
[17:09] <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
[17:10] <Mathias> been there :P
[17:10] <Mathias> you fight with something just to discover that there is a really easy way :P
[17:11] <akovia> lol, at least it was a one liner instead of some cobbled script
[17:13] <akovia> well off to the next tweak to bend this thing to my will, once again, many thanks
[17:18] <Mathias> i just had to do that :P
[18:13] <xubuntu478> hello, i can't install xubuntu, my graphic card nvidia geforce gtx 550 ti don't show the install manager
[18:17] <holstein> xubuntu478: you can try "nomodeset".. its down at the bottom of the menu if you tap shift booting the live CD
[18:18] <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
[18:19] <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
[18:20] <xubuntu478> only one graphic card
[18:21] <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
[18:22] <xubuntu478> the alternate install is  successfully but after grub is the black screen back
[18:23] <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
[18:24] <holstein> however method you want to use to try the vesa driver is what i suggest
[18:24] <xubuntu478> Thank you very much
[18:26] <someone235> hi, how can I set my mouse sensitivity?
[18:27] <holstein> someone235: you looked in xfce4-settings ?
[18:28] <someone235> holstein, I've got there Sensitivity and Accelartion, what does it mean?
[18:29] <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
[18:33] <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
[18:34] <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...
[18:51] <davidvj> 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] <davidvj> On investigation I find that there are colies of the X11 subfolder replicated at multiple levels ... at least 12 levels.
[18:55] <davidvj> I have 244060 items contained in the /usr folder totalling 3.6 GB
[18:56] <davidvj> copies ..not colies ;=))

[19:17] <paloma> davidvj, i dont see any list of all the wifi connections around my area
[19:34] <RedDragon> Hi evryone :)
[20:10] <xubuntu469> why xubuntu uses only gimp 2.6 and not 2.8
[20:11] <knome> gimp 2.8 was not released early enough to be included in 12.04
[20:11] <xubuntu469> ok
[20:13] <xubuntu469> can I install through the software management
[20:14] <knome> not from the official repositories
[20:15] <xubuntu469> have you got a link to this repository
[20:15] <knome> no
[20:16] <xubuntu469> shame
