| xubuntu399 | disk integity is good | 02:46 |
| holstein | xubuntu399: you checked from the menu at boot? | 02:46 |
| xubuntu399 | no. how? | 02:47 |
| holstein | xubuntu399: at boot, there is a disk check... | 02:48 |
| gratefulj | hardware says its present in the windows wireless drivers app | 02:48 |
| holstein | gratefulj: thats good... you dont see the wifi icon? the network icon? | 02:48 |
| gratefulj | no | 02:48 |
| gratefulj | and in the panel it just has enable networking, no notion of wireless | 02:49 |
| holstein | gratefulj: output lsusb in | 02:49 |
| holstein | !paste | gratefulj | 02:49 |

| xubuntu399 | what does it look like? | 02:50 |
| holstein | xubuntu399: its a menu item ... tap shift, should say "confirm iso" or "check disk" | 02:50 |
| gratefulj | looks like i need to install yagiuda | 02:50 |
| holstein | gratefulj: for?..you can just open a terminald and type that and paste it in. no yagiuda needed | 02:51 |
| gratefulj | when i type output says command not found | 02:51 |
| gratefulj | suggested i installed that | 02:51 |
| holstein | gratefulj: lsusb ? | 02:52 |
| gratefulj | ouput | 02:52 |
| gratefulj | output | 02:52 |
| gratefulj | but each command says i need a -option | 02:53 |
| gratefulj | your command you posted didn't work | 02:55 |
| holstein | gratefulj: share all the ouput | 02:55 |
| holstein | gratefulj: you can paste it in a pastebin | 02:55 |

| xubuntu399 | not on this system | 02:56 |
| xubuntu399 | I am in the BIOS and cant get the system to boot from the DVD drive | 02:57 |
| xubuntu399 | it is that or the disk is the problem | 02:57 |
| holstein | xubuntu399: all of those are different... i would try ruling that out.. maybe try booting the DVD in another machine.. boot another DVD in that machine | 02:58 |
| holstein | gratefulj: OK | 02:58 |
| holstein | open a terminal and type this | 02:58 |
| holstein | lsusb | 02:58 |
| holstein | then hit enter and past that output | 02:58 |
| xubuntu399 | I think I ruled it out. I know there are several versions of the software. How do I decide which one to use. IE how do I figure out 32 vs 64 bit | 02:59 |
| holstein | xubuntu399: 32 will typically always work | 02:59 |
| holstein | xubuntu399: i would google the hardware if i didnt see anything anywhere on the unit | 03:00 |
| gratefulj | i see it | 03:00 |
| gratefulj | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1199847/ | 03:01 |
| holstein | gratefulj: i would refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx and see if you even need ndis | 03:03 |
| holstein | i would just try installing the b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer packages | 03:03 |
| gratefulj | then what? | 03:06 |
| holstein | gratefulj: i would reboot or reload as the page suggests and see if the device works.. | 03:06 |
| gratefulj | hmm | 03:08 |
| gratefulj | i think you fixed my internal wireless | 03:08 |
| gratefulj | but the usb one i bought still doesn't connect | 03:08 |
| gratefulj | interesting | 03:08 |
| gratefulj | thank you | 03:10 |
| gratefulj | i wonder how much better my usb wireless is | 03:10 |
| gratefulj | worth the hassle to get it working or not | 03:10 |
| gratefulj | i'd assume so, comp 5+ years usb brand new | 03:11 |
| holstein | gratefulj: if you have the reciept, i would just return it and enjoy the functional one | 03:11 |
| holstein | i dont have an N router though | 03:11 |
| holstein | you might be able to disable the internal one and get the USB one to work easier | 03:12 |
| gratefulj | thank you | 03:20 |
| CQN | what directories do i delete to rest xfce settings? i think i have config files from a previous version of xubuntu left over. i tried deleting ~/.config/xfce, but that had no effect after rebooting | 04:33 |
| mrdoctorwho | Hello. After last update all Qt-apps that have tray icon placed in Xfce4-indicator-plugin. Is there any way to remove it from indicator and replace to tray? | 06:05 |
| ochosi | mrdoctorwho: there might be a package that supports indicators in qt | 06:47 |
| ochosi | mrdoctorwho: but if you don't find that, you can either remove the indicator-plugin from the panel or uninstall the indicator-application package | 06:48 |
| mrdoctorwho | ochosi: without it nm-applet and volume applet don't work correctly | 06:54 |
| mrdoctorwho | And with it Qt-apps don't show popup-menu correctly | 06:55 |
| pappawagner | Hi. Any tips on how to purge my system from old files after updates? | 07:55 |
| TheSheep | sudo apt-get autoremove --purge && sudo apt-get autoclean | 08:02 |
| pappawagner | What will the commands do, just remove old ones ore more? | 08:02 |
| tsimpson | you should be able to do something like: dpkg --purge $(dpkg -l | grep '^rc' | awk '{print $2}') | 08:04 |
| TheSheep | the first one will uninstall all the packages that are dependencies of no longer installed packages | 08:04 |
| TheSheep | the second one deletes the downloaded files | 08:04 |
| tsimpson | which will get a list of packages which are removed with only config files remaining, then pass that list back to dpkg for purging | 08:04 |
| pappawagner | Thanks - I'm running the first at the moment :-D | 08:06 |
| pimperle | i cannot shut down a fresh 12.04 xubuntu installation. i did not change anything, but after logging in, logging out again, i cannot perform a shutdown/reboot from the login screen. Confirming the dialog brings me back to the screen immediately. | 10:25 |

| xubuntu206 | But questions about xubuntu,not ubuntu? | 18:44 |
| Mathias | the core is the same, but the user interface/window manager is different | 18:45 |
| Mathias | so kind of both i think :P | 18:45 |
| Sysi | loco:s should handle other flavours too | 18:45 |
| xubuntu206 | so, it means , that i can ask on ru channel, and they help me? or just kick/ban,because of lame? =( | 18:46 |
| xubuntu206 | "should"... | 18:46 |
| Pici | xubuntu206: No one should be kicking you for being new. | 18:46 |
| xubuntu206 | I'm gonna give it aa try. Thanks guys. | 18:47 |
| xubuntu206 | Err, they just ignoring. | 18:55 |
| xubuntu206 | here's the question:When system boots up,and user selecting menu appears,there's a submenu, called"Enviroment" r somethin. if i clik, some menu appears, with Xfce and other lines. Whit is it? | 18:59 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu206: the default settings and desktop environment to use | 19:06 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu206: you see, you can have ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, etc. installed at the same time and select them there | 19:06 |
| xubuntu206 | Wow. And, it will be different OS or SAME, with only GUI changed? | 19:07 |
| xubuntu206 | I mean, if i install some apps in Xfce, then they will not work in others, right? | 19:07 |
| David-A | xubuntu206: In xubuntu there is the alternatives "Xfce session" and "Xubuntu session". different backgrund and menu structure. try both and use what you like best. | 19:08 |
| Mathias | they will work in others afaik | 19:08 |
| Mathias | the core is the same, it's just the display manager that's different | 19:08 |
| David-A | xubuntu206: most programs work in both Xfce, Gnome/Unity and KDE. | 19:08 |
| xubuntu206 | What is this - display manager? | 19:09 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu206: the program that draws your window borders, decides where to put the windows, which windows should have the focus, etc. -- is the window manager | 19:10 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu206: there there are other parts, like the program that displays the dekstop, the program that displays the panels, etc. | 19:10 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu206: together they make a desktop environment | 19:11 |
| Sysi | David-A: though after first time loggin in settings are saved and shouldn't change | 19:11 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu206: and ubuntu has several of such sets to choose from | 19:11 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu206: standard ubuntu uses gnome3 and unity | 19:11 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu206: kubuntu uses kde | 19:11 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu206: and xubuntu uses xfce4 | 19:11 |
| xubuntu206 | So simple explanation,miracle) | 19:12 |
| TheSheep | it does get complicated | 19:13 |
| TheSheep | for example, different applicatiosn will use different widget toolkits, which make them look differently -- so the kde applications may look out of place in unity | 19:14 |
| TheSheep | but they will work just fine | 19:14 |
| TheSheep | just look inconsistent | 19:14 |
| craigbass1976 | I'm running the ppc version of 12.04, and a wireless network in range isn't showing up. This works fine at my house. | 19:15 |
| TheSheep | craigbass1976: you might check #ubuntu-ppc, because here not many people have experience with it | 19:16 |
| craigbass1976 | TheSheep, Maybe it's not ppc related. I get the "wireless networks available" message, then nothing shows up in the list. Have you ever seen this happen? | 19:33 |
| Mathias | i've seen that happen a couple of times | 19:33 |
| TheSheep | nope, sorry | 19:33 |
| Mathias | just need to turn the wireless off and then on again | 19:33 |
| Mathias | and sometimes need to disable all networking for a couple of minutes | 19:34 |
| craigbass1976 | Weird. I set it up manually and crossed my fingers, and voila! Now, I need to take this to a school board meeting tonight and wonder if it will hook up there... | 19:39 |
| Mathias | :P | 19:43 |
