| theater-dreamer | I see Xubuntu 12.10 will no longer have an alternate CD release: Is it going to have the same unified installer as Ubuntu (LVM and FDE as options)? | 00:36 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | Xubuntu has been using Ubiquity, so that'd be good. Otherwise, you can use the !mini and install xubuntu-desktop in 12.10. | 00:37 |
| theater-dreamer | mhm... doesn't sound too bad. | 00:39 |
| theater-dreamer | We'll see how Ubiquity is in creating complex LVM/RAID/FDE configurations like debian-installer could. | 00:40 |

| GridCube | no | 01:37 |

| ronin | I'm getting this kind of graphics errors in xubuntu http://imgur.com/8RRxg . It only comes sometimes in specific windows, and not just wine, but any software. Sometimes some icons on the desktop | 07:54 |
| ronin | does it sound like a software problem? | 07:55 |
| Mathias | topic should start with something like "no answers? please idle here" | 09:03 |
| bazhang | if you have a question, then ask it Mathias | 09:04 |
| Mathias | i don't but i saw ronin's question | 09:05 |
| shpank | normally you don't put such things in the topic | 09:08 |
| shpank | because it's usually the same everywhere | 09:08 |

| pimperle | is there a way to install xubuntu fully encrypted using the xts-plain cipher? the alternate install cd's kernel doesn't seem to support it. | 09:19 |

| longwuyuan | hi. thanks tons to xubuntu, i got fglrx for my dell vostro 3450. but outlook in a vm is gentle on the eyes compared to thunderbird (even with theme & font sizer addon). does anyone have good suggestions for me to try | 09:23 |
| pimperle | longwuyuan: you might try evolution, ubuntus default client | 09:25 |
| ochosi | or claws-mail (although you probably won't like it if you want outlook-style) | 09:25 |
| longwuyuan | nothing to do with style. am having to deal with at least 300-400 emails everyday. so need more real-estate quality on 14" laptop screen | 09:28 |
| longwuyuan | the windows drivers in a vm seem to be able to render outlook more efficiently in a 1280x800 resolution of the vm | 09:29 |
| longwuyuan | native 1366x#### resolution on xubuntu is gret in xterm but painful on thunderbird | 09:30 |
| longwuyuan | i placed both windows one below another and compared real-estate. thunderbird fonts are less crisp :-( and anyone can guess how that feels having to use outlook | 09:31 |
| Sysi | change antialiasing settings in settings -> appearance | 09:32 |

| martian | I just installed nautilus in xubuntu 12.04 and wish to change some advanced settings. I installed gconf-editor, but there is no nautilus node in there. Any suggestions? | 16:15 |
| Pici | martian: check dconf | 16:16 |
| martian | Pici: ahh, moved to xubuntu, or just idling in both channels? | 16:18 |
| martian | check it in what sense? it was not installed either, so upon installing it I should... | 16:19 |
| Pici | hm. | 16:19 |
| Pici | I was under the impression that stuff was being moved from gconf to dconf. | 16:19 |

| DenSeaCaT | Hi guys. Would someone help me in tet-a-tet chat? WinXP + Xubuntu, formatted xubuntu partitions, and now grub not working | 17:55 |
| GridCube | DenSeaCaT, explain further | 17:56 |
| GridCube | do you still have xubuntu installed? how do you formated? why you need grub if there is no xubuntu (in that case)? | 17:56 |
| DenSeaCaT | Ok. 1 Hdd. 2 NTFS partition(C with WInXP \ and Dwith files ) , and 3 linux partitions, ext3 / , ext3 /home , swap | 17:58 |
| DenSeaCaT | formatted all ext 3 and swap | 17:58 |
| DenSeaCaT | and now my Winxp cant boot | 17:58 |
| GridCube | thats something to expect, you delete the /boot area that grub uses | 18:00 |
| DenSeaCaT | I want: WinXP, barter partiton(D) for files, and xubuntu PROPERLY installed | 18:00 |
| DenSeaCaT | I have 2 USB sticks with latest backtrak linux and xubuntu. | 18:00 |
| DenSeaCaT | What should I do now? | 18:01 |
| GridCube | you need a live cd, boot from it, edit your partitions using gparted, if wanted install xubuntu, else install boot-repair from its ppa and use it to create a new grub install | 18:01 |
| DenSeaCaT | Sorry, noob in linux, cant understand | 18:01 |
| DenSeaCaT | I'm now running live usb xubuntu on this notebook. | 18:02 |
| GridCube | open gparted and edit the partitions you want to the way you want them to be | 18:02 |
| DenSeaCaT | can someone guide me step-by-step in PM please? | 18:02 |
| GridCube | its like using partition magic | 18:02 |
| DenSeaCaT | Ok, sec | 18:02 |
| DenSeaCaT | Opened gparted. another question. when i've formatted linux partitions, and re-created them, i've installed xubuntu. but it didn't booted. I've broke somthing or what? | 18:05 |
| DenSeaCaT | just black screen appears, and says: unknown file system, grub rescue | 18:07 |
| DenSeaCaT | Is it means that grub installed on C drive? | 18:08 |
| tsimpson | grub should be installed on the disk itself, not any particular partition | 18:09 |
| GridCube | DenSeaCaT, :) wait a moment | 18:09 |
| GridCube | DenSeaCaT, grub is a boot loader that installs itself and depends on grub config files that are at /boot, you formated the drive that had /boot on it | 18:09 |
| GridCube | so grub cant know whats going on | 18:09 |
| GridCube | you need to a) choose where to place grub b) make such place c) install grub | 18:10 |
| tsimpson | you need to stop using the word "drive" when you mean "partition" ;) | 18:10 |
| DenSeaCaT | tsimpson, it means, that grub installs himself not to one of partitions e.g. c/d/e, but on hided sector of hdd? | 18:10 |
| GridCube | tsimpson, good call | 18:10 |
| tsimpson | DenSeaCaT: yes, it should be on the physical hard drive, rather than one of the partitions on that hard drive | 18:11 |
| DenSeaCaT | wait. Drive - means HDD, right? And partitions means some sector on it? | 18:11 |
| tsimpson | windows like to pretend that partitions and hard-drive-disks are the same thing | 18:12 |
| GridCube | DenSeaCaT, c/d/e are windows names, you need the /dev/paths to them on grub or even the hd(0,0) nubers | 18:12 |
| tsimpson | when you partition your HDD in windows, it shows those as different "drives" with letters | 18:12 |
| DenSeaCaT | C/D/E in windows are sdb/sdc/sde in linux? | 18:13 |
| GridCube | no | 18:13 |
| tsimpson | no, they can be, but usually not | 18:13 |
| GridCube | it depends | 18:13 |
| tsimpson | windows does not distinguish between a physical HDD and partitions on a HDD | 18:14 |
| v1adimir | DenSeaCaT: all you needed was empty space and the installer could've done it | 18:14 |
| DenSeaCaT | Russians O_o? | 18:14 |
| v1adimir | at large :P | 18:15 |
| DenSeaCaT | Private please? | 18:15 |
| v1adimir | uh i'm not really here- sorry! :S | 18:15 |
| DenSeaCaT | What it means? | 18:15 |
| v1adimir | no time, if you wanted to see about the issue, gotta leave the house any minute | 18:16 |
| DenSeaCaT | Oh. k. So. Wht i should do to fix all stuff, that i've broke?(format all HDD,install WinXP and forget about linux is not an option:) ) | 18:17 |
| GridCube | DenSeaCaT, you can install xubuntu again | 18:18 |
| GridCube | that will fix grubn | 18:18 |
| DenSeaCaT | already installed, but wont boot | 18:18 |
| GridCube | or you can install grub-repair and make it install it again | 18:18 |
| GridCube | !boot-repair | 18:18 |
| GridCube | mmm | 18:18 |
| DenSeaCaT | I can google that) | 18:18 |
| tsimpson | "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" usually, assuming your disk is called /dev/sda | 18:19 |
| GridCube | boot on a live cd and install this: https://launchpad.net/~yannubuntu/+archive/boot-repair | 18:19 |
| GridCube | then run sudo boot-repair, fix the boot area, reboot, be happy | 18:19 |
| DenSeaCaT | Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. | 18:20 |
| DenSeaCaT | I'm running live usb xubuntu right now, on this notebook that i've broke | 18:21 |
| GridCube | well, thats because you formated it | 18:21 |
| DenSeaCaT | But i've reinstalled xubuntu? | 18:21 |
| GridCube | apparently you didnt | 18:21 |
| DenSeaCaT | http://i008.radikal.ru/1209/ac/61e184b6b147.png | 18:23 |
| DenSeaCaT | xubuntu on sda7 | 18:24 |
| DenSeaCaT | sudo apt-get install grub-repair won't work | 18:26 |
| GridCube | no | 18:29 |
| GridCube | DenSeaCaT, did you add the ppa? | 18:30 |
| daxis | what's the deal with 12.04.1 not automounting usb drives? is there a quick fix for this? | 18:30 |
| Mathias | is there a quick way to switch between windows and xubuntu? rebooting takes too long time :P | 18:32 |
| daxis | virtualbox? | 18:32 |
| daxis | virtual machines are a bit slower, but they don't take as much time as rebooting | 18:33 |
| DenSeaCaT | GridCube yes | 18:33 |
| Mathias | daxis: playing games in VM's sucks :P | 18:33 |
| DenSeaCaT | terminal says E: Unable to locate package grub-repair | 18:34 |
| GridCube | DenSeaCaT, :( well i dont know then | 18:34 |
| GridCube | !grub | 18:34 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 18:34 |
| GridCube | see the restore grub tutorial DenSeaCaT | 18:34 |
| daxis | Mathis: get two computers and a kvm. one mouse, one keyboard, one monitor (or two), two computers | 18:35 |
| daxis | perfect solution :P | 18:35 |
| Mathias | daxis: that would kind of work | 18:36 |
| daxis | Mathias: what are you needing to do? | 18:36 |
| Mathias | it would though be kind of unpractical to take a screen, a keyboard, a mouse, a kvm switch, two laptops and a generator everywhere :P | 18:36 |
| daxis | oh i was thinking of desktops | 18:37 |
| daxis | nvm then | 18:37 |
| daxis | hmmm | 18:37 |
| Mathias | playing world of tanks in wine doesn't go so well :P, and i don't like any media players in windoze :P | 18:37 |
| Mathias | and i switch a lot | 18:37 |
| daxis | well if you do gaming on windows, why not run linux in the vm? | 18:38 |
| Mathias | i actually haven't tried playing 1080p in xubuntu in a vm | 18:38 |
| Mathias | that could be tomorrows project :P | 18:39 |
| daxis | sounds like a plan! | 18:39 |
| Mathias | :P | 18:39 |
| daxis | well i've got class... i guess i'll be back later | 18:39 |
| Mathias | 13:40? :o | 18:40 |
| DenSeaCaT | i've did sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda1 and on sda2 , but it says Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. | 18:40 |
| daxis | you got it | 18:40 |
| Mathias | 8 hours behind me :S | 18:40 |
| daxis | central time | 18:40 |
| daxis | later all | 18:41 |
| DenSeaCaT | Wow, looks like it works | 18:45 |
| DenSeaCaT | hmm. brb. | 18:46 |
| DenSeaCaT_ | Worked. thanks guys) | 18:49 |
| DenSeaCaT_ | Now i know, how matter usb stick with live xubuntu installed on it :D | 18:50 |
| DenSeaCaT_ | I have some questons. what better for slow notebook(1ggz cpu/ 1gb ram, integrated videocard) xfce/lxde/ or something? because my noebook is SO slow. i want more speed | 18:54 |
| Mathias | lubuntu might be a better option | 18:56 |
| pcroque | After attempting to set some keyboard options, I get an error message everytime I start a terminal: "Illegal map name '(+v)+' in symbols name 'pc+us(+v)+inet(evdev)+compose(ralt)'" Any ideas on how to fix? I've purged xfce4-xkb-plugin already, set xfce4-keyboard-settings to let X manage the keyboard. | 18:57 |
| pcroque | I'm out of ideas. | 18:57 |
| DenSeaCaT_ | I've tried to install it today, but it wont work. installer just showed me bunch of errors | 18:59 |
| DenSeaCaT_ | failed to run partition manager blah blah blah, failed to run something else, blah blah. so i decided to install xubuntu | 19:00 |
| DenSeaCaT_ | Mathias is there any other way to replace my xfce to lxde enviroment? | 19:02 |
| Mathias | don't know, i'm not an expert :P | 19:02 |
| DenSeaCaT_ | tht's sad | 19:02 |
| Mathias | ask me next year :P | 19:02 |
| DenSeaCaT_ | at next year hope i'll gonna know it by myself ;0 | 19:02 |
| DenSeaCaT_ | What name of xubuntu default network manager? ANd can I replace him with Wicd network manager? | 19:12 |
