[00:04] <tete> after 6 years with gnome 2 i felt in love with xfce and xubuntu, yay!!
[00:32] <paul_> doing a fresh install of xubuntu right now
[00:39] <paul_> welcome
[00:48] <xubuntu919> hello
[00:51] <hezy> Hi
[00:51] <xubuntu919> hello
[00:52] <xubuntu919> what does 'configuring hardware' mean?
[00:52] <holstein> xubuntu919: providing you with hardware support
[00:53] <holstein> the operating system is installing and "configuring the hardware", making it work, when possible... out of the box
[00:55] <xubuntu919> oh ok, it's just been taking a while
[00:55] <holstein> if its not installed after 40 minutes, id start to get concerned
[00:55] <holstein> sometimes, it takes like 10 minutes
[00:56] <tete> hello, is there an alternative to the propietary drivers app?
[00:56] <holstein> tete: you mean, and app to pop up and offer proprietary drivers?
[00:56] <tete> the pop up!
[00:57] <tete> to install propietary drivers!
[00:57] <holstein> tete: i mean, any package manager
[00:58] <holstein> if you are getting drivers from the vedors, they will likely have instructions
[00:58] <tete> i mean, in ubuntu you get an option to install the propietary driver, like it search it for you
[00:58] <tete> i am not sure if have the drivers correctly installed
[01:00] <xubuntu919> what do I do if the 'configuring hardware' step has been going on for an hour? the drop down option says things are still happening though
[01:17] <xubuntu919> what do I do if the 'configuring hardware' step has been going on for an hour? the drop down option says things are still happening though
[04:15] <Thyem> I am trying to install Xubuntu on my desktop from a USB stick. But when I try to start the installer or select "Try Xubuntu" all I get is this: http://hoel.us/photo.JPG , any ideas on what might be wrong?
[07:01] <xubuntu506> test
[07:02] <bazhang> try #test
[07:03] <xubuntu506> Hello people out there, I recently installed Xubuntu on my Intel P4 machine and worked like charm until i started seeing "problem activating swap", after that its never booting only,  Isuspect this has happened because of improper shut down, I do not have a UPS, so whenever electricity supply goes off, my computer terminates  without  proper shutdown
[07:06] <torax> https://www.google.fi/search?q=problem+activating+swap
[07:16] <koegs> is there a way to tell a panel to stay in the background
[07:16] <koegs> so any program is able to overlap
[07:20] <Sysi> koegs: basically no
[07:20] <koegs> ok, so i have to use any dock instead :)
[07:21] <Sysi> yup
[07:21] <TheSheep> xubuntu506: can you boot from a livecd?
[07:21] <TheSheep> xubuntu506: or liveusb?
[07:37] <Glitchd> hey i was wondering if its possibel to install kde and gnome on the same 12.04 installation, arent they just desktop managers and i can switch between them freely
[07:37] <Glitchd> this is for ubuntu also, not xubuntu, sry..
[07:38] <Sysi> you can have all desktops installed, just select what to use on login
[07:38] <Glitchd> yea, thats what i thought..
[07:38] <Glitchd> thnx for the heads up=)
[07:38] <Sysi> np
[07:39] <Glitchd> \adios
[08:44] <Bluesky02> hello
[08:45] <Bluesky02> There is no Xubuntu Facebook Page :(
[08:46] <Bluesky02> I think i have found it, but dunno if its official
[08:48] <koegs> Bluesky02: it is on the front-page... http://xubuntu.org/
[08:48] <koegs> "Xubuntu Users on Facebook"
[08:48] <TheSheep> ugh
[08:49] <TheSheep> Bluesky02: xubuntu is affiliated with facebook in any way, so there can't be an official facebook page
[08:55] <Marzata> facebook, what for?
[08:55] <Marzata> maybe instagram xubuntu page?
[08:55] <Marzata> lol
[09:02] <torax> :D
[11:09] <xubuntu783> hello, how can i set files with MPD extension to open with a wine app called MLCAD ?
[11:13] <recon_lap> xubuntu783: dont know, but have you looked for setting in wine to associate the .MPD files to you preferred app
[11:14] <xubuntu783> they open with linux text editors
[11:15] <xubuntu783> i want it just with mlcad , i got it it opens mlcad but empty without the selected file
[11:16] <xubuntu783> i'm checking other file and programs
[11:18] <xubuntu783> and how i add it to wine in main menu it shows in others only
[11:21] <recon_lap> xubuntu783:  have a look at this file /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
[11:21] <recon_lap>  
[11:22] <xubuntu783> ok
[11:25] <recon_lap> xubuntu783: there is an easier way, if you right click on one of the ..MPD files and select properties
[11:26] <recon_lap> there is a open with setting
[11:26] <xubuntu783> i have xubuntu
[11:27] <xubuntu783> i don't see all options in properties to change file
[11:27] <xubuntu783> i see
[11:27] <xubuntu783> now is selected
[11:29] <xubuntu783> but i think it only does wine pathofprogram program
[11:30] <xubuntu783> and doesn't get the selected file
[11:30] <xubuntu783> the program was installed manually no installed i have to say
[11:34] <recon_lap> xubuntu783: dont know wine, but get the .MPD to open in wine first, then I'd try set the file type in wine so it know what program to use
[11:35] <xubuntu783> i'll see faq of wine then
[11:35] <xubuntu783> wine isn't that alcohol ?
[11:36] <xubuntu783> :D
[11:43] <recon_lap> xubuntu783: also , where you set the open with to "wine" , you can also put "wine <name of windows app> " somthing like "wine mlcad"
[11:46] <xubuntu783> yea i'll try
[12:21] <jewels> good morning...I've compiled the latest version of gcc yesterday, but I still have the latest version of gcc installed on my workstation, how can I do in order to set as default compiler the latest version of gcc? If I do gcc --version it still print me that it is the old one
[12:26] <TheSheep> !alternatives
[12:31] <ikonia> jewels: CC=/path/to/gcc
[12:32] <jewels> I have to put gcc in the bin directory?
[12:33] <jewels> I have removed the old one executable
[12:33] <jewels> The program 'gcc' can be found in the following packages:
[12:33] <jewels>  * gcc
[12:33] <jewels>  * pentium-builder
[12:33] <jewels> Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
[12:34] <jewels> I've tried creating symlink to the executable that were been installed in the /opt/gcc-4.7.2/bin directory
[12:35] <recon_lap> jewels: why not just install the build-essential package ?
[12:36] <jewels> I've just installed it..but I want the latest version of the gcc compiler
[12:36] <jewels> on my xubuntu I have the 4.6 version, now i've installed the 4.7.2
[12:37] <ikonia> jewels: do you have any idea what you are doing ?
[12:37] <ikonia> jewels: why do you need the latest GCC version ?
[12:39] <jewels> I just want to have all the newest package available
[12:41] <jewels> I frequently program in C or C++ so I just want to have all the newest development tools
[12:41] <ikonia> why ?
[12:41] <ikonia> sorry, that's just crazy
[12:41] <jewels> crazy?
[12:42] <jewels> I don't think that compiling gcc is crazy..
[12:42] <ikonia> it is for no reason
[12:42] <ikonia> and changing hte version away from what your whole OS is built on.....
[12:43] <ikonia> and why you are trying to symlink it to /usr/bin I don't know, rather than just run it from /opt
[12:44] <jewels> yes but I just want to do simply from my console
[12:44] <jewels> gcc
[12:44] <jewels> and run the newest version
[12:44] <jewels> nothing more
[12:45] <ikonia> right so change your PATH
[12:45] <ikonia> rather than start creating sylinks that may break other things
[12:45] <ikonia> or use the environment variable CC
[12:45] <jewels> I've changed the PATH editing the .profile file and I've also changed the CC value
[12:45] <ikonia> this seems a silly approach and reason to me, sorry.
[12:45] <ikonia> jewels: right, so you shouldn't need to create symlinks
[12:46] <ikonia> setting the PATH to have /opt/bin as priority should be enough
[12:46] <jewels> I just want to make practice with compiling and other interesting stuff which linux grant to do
[12:46] <jewels> nothing more ikonia :)
[12:46] <ikonia> well, you're going the right way about breaking your box
[12:46] <ikonia> and you're putting the latest version of gcc on your machine inlcluding core libraries for no reason
[12:46] <ikonia> you can practice using the tools ubuntu build, package, test and support
[12:47] <ikonia> or you can drop some crazy hunk of junk you've tried to build onto your machine then make a mess of settig it up for your enviornment
[12:47] <ikonia> I know which one sounds better for sane compiling to me
[12:49] <jewels> ikonia, thank you for your suggestion you're right after all but I think that could be interesting to see how can multiple package could be compiled together in order to make a big and large program like the GCC compiler suite
[12:49] <ikonia> gcc compiler is one package
[12:49] <jewels> yes one package, but it needs other libraries
[12:49] <ikonia> so I don't know where this multi-pacakge stuff making the gcc compiler suite is you're talking about
[12:50] <ikonia> yes, which if you don't know what you are doing - will cause a conflict on your system and break it
[12:50] <ikonia> hence why I'm saying you are going to break your system if you continue with your current approach
[12:52] <jewels> Understood..
[12:52] <jewels> so do you suggest to me to delete it and reinstall correctly gcc?
[12:52] <ikonia> I'm not suggesting anything as I don't know what you've currently done to your machine messing around
[12:54] <jewels> How can I remove the gcc-4.7.2 that I have compiled just right now? I have done make and make install
[12:55] <jewels> now I just want to remove everything I do
[13:21] <JosephCO> holaaaaaa
[15:04] <bonno> hello ..i just installed xubuntu.. how can i remove the quick launcher ? (and can i open it again later?! )  cos i want to install another dock
[15:05] <Sysi> right click on it -> panel -> select panel you want to remove and press the button
[15:05] <Sysi> you can also unlock it and drag it elswhere on the screen
[15:06] <bonno> if i remove it can i put it again back later i i want?
[15:06] <bonno> *if i want
[15:07] <Sysi> you need to add launchers again and edit it's settings
[15:07] <bonno> and how do i do that ?
[15:08] <Sysi> add panel, drah launchers from menu, edit settings
[15:08] <bonno> oh..so its a panel ..no diference.. thank you
[15:10] <Sysi> yup
[18:07] <wiben> Hi, I have a question about changing an icon in xubuntu: Shouldn't it be possible to change icons by right-clicking the file/folder choosing preferences and clicking the icon ?
[18:07] <baizon> it should be :)
[18:08] <wiben> hmm.. any ideas why i cannot click the icon then ?
[18:08] <baizon> wiben: no permission? :)
[18:09] <holstein> wiben: you cant right click on it?.. you dont get a menu?
[18:09] <wiben> yes
[18:09] <holstein> what icon? a launcher? or one in the file manager?
[18:09] <wiben> i can right click on it and go to preferences, but i cannot change the icon.. its a html file
[18:10] <wiben> i tried to use: sudo thunar   <-- don't know if that would give me permission ?
[18:10] <holstein> wiben: what icon.. where is it located? is it an application launcher on the desktop? a location shorcut?
[18:11] <holstein> you would try gksudo thunar
[18:11] <wiben> its in my home folder ~/.local/share/links
[18:13] <wiben> even with gksudo i can't change icons
[18:13] <holstein> wiben: changing an icon in thunar is different though... i would still expect to be able to change it,, but you can search for that more appropriately
[18:14] <holstein> wiben: i see emblems.. i remember someone asking about how to have custom emblems and it not being implemented yet
[18:14] <wiben> I tried to google it but all I found where ways to change icon themes, I only need to change a specific icon
[18:14] <holstein> wiben: the way i think of it.. im using thunar for a reason.. its lighter-weight.. with that comes some "compromises"
[18:16] <wiben> Ok, I guess I can live with that for now.. I love that its light-weight one of the reasons I chose xubuntu on this old comp
[18:17] <holstein> i dont see an easy way to do it from nautilus rigt now though
[18:18] <wiben> ... I wanted to add a link to a specific webpage to "docky" and so i thought i could change the icon before adding it
[18:19] <holstein> im sure you can... it'll just be a mater of digging around and finding the right place to change it
[18:19] <crack> hola
[18:19] <holstein> http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/23776/how-to-change-a-file-type-icon-in-xfce-thunar for example wiben
[18:20] <wiben> @holstein thnx, I will try that..
[18:26] <HackinBl1ck> hellcan any one help me
[18:26] <holstein> !ask
[18:27] <HackinBl1ck> I want to know how to uninstall ubuntu
[18:28] <holstein> HackinBl1ck: you can download the iso images for ubuntu and burn them to a CD or use a USB stick
[18:28] <tsimpson> and install what instead?
[18:28] <HackinBl1ck> windows
[18:28] <holstein> OH.. i see... i thought you said install.. just get a windwos install disk instead
[18:28] <tsimpson> you just put the Windows CD/DVD in, and install
[18:29] <tsimpson> that is, you overwrite Ubuntu with Windows
[18:29] <HackinBl1ck> Alright
[18:29] <holstein> HackinBl1ck: you can ask in a windows channel for more information about how the process works per the windows version you are using
[18:29] <HackinBl1ck> Is there a easy way to dual boot though? with ubuntu installed first
[18:29] <HackinBl1ck> ?
[18:30] <HackinBl1ck> ?
[18:30] <holstein> HackinBl1ck: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub
[18:33] <HackinBl1ck> alright i will look at that
[18:36] <HackinBl1ck> Whats better ubuntu or kubuntu?
[18:37] <Pici> HackinBl1ck: It completely depends on your own preferences
[18:37] <HackinBl1ck> I have ubuntu right now.
[18:38] <HackinBl1ck> may try kubuntu
[18:38] <HackinBl1ck> looking at site right now
[18:48] <Marzata> Xubuntu is the best.
[18:49] <TheSheep> !best | Marzata
[18:49] <Marzata> Don't waste your time with Apple and Windows dream interfaces.
[19:54] <Mathsterk> Marzata: lol
[21:56] <nmizar> hullo
[21:57] <nmizar> I'm trying to install xubuntu 12.04 on a fujitsu/siemens amilo laptop
[21:58] <recon_lap> nmizar: and how is that going for you?
[21:58] <nmizar> but I'm experiencing a bunch of problems
[21:58] <nmizar> first, I dowwnloaded an iso image
[21:59] <nmizar> 'cos I tried unetbooting to no reasonable effect (it didn't install xubuntu, actually)
[22:00] <nmizar> then, I've tried to a) install by booting from the image burnt to a CD and b) trying xubuntu and selecting the install link
[22:00] <Unit193> Downloaded, did you check the MD5 sum?  What are you making the bootable flash from? (Windows, Linux)
[22:00] <nmizar> Linux
[22:00] <nmizar> old ubuntu Maverick already unsupported
[22:01] <nmizar> I wanted to try xubuntu as it seems to be much more lightweight
[22:01] <nmizar> but gives lots of way for setting up my old laptop as I wanted to
[22:01] <recon_lap> nmizar: it's best to boot from the CD to a live desktop before actualy trying the install
[22:01] <Os_Maleus> hi guys!
[22:02] <nmizar> recon_lap, that's the first thing I did
[22:02] <recon_lap> nmizar: and did that work?
[22:02] <nmizar> but, when trying to install, I find plenty of problems
[22:03] <nmizar> for instance, dconf can't proceed because it has no permission to access /root/.cache
[22:03] <Os_Maleus> wanted to let You know that I am running Xubuntu 11.10 on a Lenovo U160. this one works perfectly here. but installing the 12.xx versions are failing massively.
[22:04] <nmizar> then, I su myself, chown and allow it to enter
[22:04] <Unit193> What about trying the alternate installer?
[22:04] <nmizar> Mmmm
[22:04] <nmizar> burning it to another CD?
[22:05] <Os_Maleus> now, I have reinstalled the 11.10 - faster HD. but in contrast to the system before, I don't receive the option for upgrading anymore.
[22:05] <recon_lap> nmizar: I'm wondering why you need to do anything? is it not formating you drive and loading up a default install?
[22:05] <nmizar> I saw the alternate but I thought the Desktop would suit me
[22:05] <Unit193> Or USB, if you can get that.
[22:05] <nmizar> nope
[22:05] <Unit193> Desktop should be working fine, yes.
[22:05] <Os_Maleus> I myself was trying to install from a usb-drive, btw.
[22:05] <nmizar> it desn't look liek it's doing it
[22:06] <recon_lap> nmizar: anything odd about the laptop? is it super old or super new?
[22:06] <nmizar> I changed my partition table to, actually, leaving it as it was: one big / ext4 partition and one swap partition
[22:06] <nmizar> neither recon_lap
[22:07] <Unit193> nmizar: Can you try "Check CD for defects" ?
[22:07] <Unit193> Boot option on the CD.
[22:07] <nmizar> it's one fujitsu/siemens amilo 12xx series dating 5 or 6 yrs, maybe more
[22:08] <nmizar> check CD for defects. OK. Gonna try it out
[22:09] <recon_lap> nmizar: well I'd do the CD check like Unit193 suggested, then I would have a look at the HDD, maybe reset the partitions myself and let the CD do a install
[22:09] <Unit193> Yep, gparted should be on the live CD.
[22:09] <nmizar> yeah, I didn't check the CD but the rest I did
[22:10] <nmizar> ok
[22:10] <recon_lap> Os_Maleus: you getting stuck too?
[22:10] <nmizar> ah, let me tell you that, when installing, there is one option for changing the partition table
[22:10] <nmizar> I've done that in a number of ways
[22:11] <Unit193> Os_Maleus: Bios may not support booting from USB, and you can force an upgrade by opening a terminal and paste do-release-upgrade
[22:11] <nmizar> from leaving it as it was to making a brand new partition table, for instance, one with /, home and swap
[22:12] <nmizar> but to no avail
[22:13] <recon_lap> nmizar: well, I'd suggest just letting the install CD use all the hard-drive in a automatic install
[22:13] <nmizar> yeah
[22:13] <nmizar> good idea but, I am not given the option
[22:13] <Os_Maleus> well, I am wondering why I am receiving the error message "Failed to fetch cdrom://Xubuntu 12.04.1 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release i386 (20120817.3)/dists/precise/main/binary-i386/Packages" when I am checking the updates.
[22:14] <nmizar> the first, say, couple times, I had four options
[22:14] <Unit193> Os_Maleus: Ah!  That's pretty simple as you just have to disable that somewhere in software sources (or it is at the top of /etc/apt/sources.list if you feel good about editing that)
[22:14] <Os_Maleus> the booting from USB worked finally out. but with 11.10 only.
[22:14] <nmizar> from leaving my ubuntu and adding xubuntu to customise my installation through making a fresh install
[22:15] <nmizar> but I cannot reach that point anymore
[22:15] <nmizar> :-(
[22:16] <recon_lap> nmizar: think you select "Install Ubuntu" then default setup
[22:17] <recon_lap> Os_Maleus: have you tried setting nomodeset? http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-to-set-nomodeset-for-installation
[22:17] <nmizar> you mean booting from the CD or from the live distro
[22:17] <recon_lap> nmizar: the CD, but not sure what you mean by live distro
[22:18] <nmizar> ah, I'm sorry: starting the live xubuntu and selecting install
[22:18] <Os_Maleus> indeed, there it was. I was checking that file (of course, just by eyes) and (of course) didn't find the entry.
[22:20] <Os_Maleus> recon_lap: but this nomodest-thing is actually for a system, that is installed already. isn't it?
[22:20] <recon_lap> nmizar: should really be no difference. but something going wrong :)
[22:21] <nmizar> yeah, I thought so
[22:21] <recon_lap> Os_Maleus: no, you can use it on the CD to test a live session without installing. I think :)
[22:21] <nmizar> how can I check the CD?
[22:21] <nmizar> should I burn another image?
[22:22] <recon_lap> nmizar: Have you checked you bios to make sure it booting from the CD first?
[22:22] <nmizar> yes, thanks
[22:22] <nmizar> I changed it to do it so
[22:22] <Os_Maleus> recon_lap: didn't check it until now, to be honest. thanks for the tipp!
[22:23] <recon_lap> nmizar: then boot the CD,  you should see this menu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=804+Live+2+.png , you want to Check CD for defects
[22:24] <nmizar> recon, I don't see that particular splash
[22:24] <nmizar> unfortunately, I won't be able to show you one
[22:24] <recon_lap> nmizar: what ISO did you down load?
[22:24] <nmizar> :-P
[22:25] <nmizar> the non-64 bit, Intel 12.04 desktop one
[22:25] <nmizar> do you want me to locate the actual link?
[22:25] <recon_lap> nmizar: you missing something very basic if thats not the splash screen you seeing, it's not booting a 12.04 desktop CD
[22:26] <Unit193> recon_lap: Sure it is, Xubuntu uses MaybeUbiquity: http://s.techairlines.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Ubuntu-Install-Welcome.jpg  hold shift on booting the CD.
[22:26] <nmizar> I'll try to describe what I see without rebooting again
[22:26] <nmizar> yes
[22:26] <recon_lap> opps my bad :-[
[22:26] <nmizar> it starts with a splash in blue with xubuntu written on it
[22:27] <Unit193> nmizar: Hold shift, esc, or enter.
[22:27] <nmizar> he he
[22:27] <nmizar> ?
[22:27] <nmizar> when booting, unit?
[22:28] <recon_lap> lol, keep forgetting I'm XUbuntu now :)
[22:28] <TheSheep> nmizar: just save a date in the session, and consider the user not logged in when that date is too far in past
[22:28] <TheSheep> nmizar: sorry
[22:28] <TheSheep> nmizar: wrong channel
[22:28] <nmizar> ha ha, don't worry Sheep :-)
[22:29] <Unit193> nmizar: When you boot, you will see a small icon at the bottom and that's it, at that time you should hit shift (IIRC).
[22:30] <nmizar> recon, when passing that step, it asks me for the language, then the time zone, keyboard setup and then it gets to the partition stuff, I guess
[22:30] <nmizar> sorry Unit, ok
[22:30] <nmizar> I'll try
[22:31] <nmizar> when clicking esc, shift or enter, what will it be supposed to happen :-P?
[22:31] <nmizar> 'cos I hadn't noticed the icon :-S
[22:31] <nmizar> was not paying attention, actually
[22:32] <recon_lap> nmizar: just press shift as soon as the BIOS post has finished
[22:32] <nmizar> ok
[22:32] <recon_lap> nmizar: keep tapping it :)

[22:39] <recon_lap> Os_Maleus: can you let me know if nomodeset fixes your issue
[22:39] <nmizar> It's been a pleasure and you've been quite helpful
[22:39] <nmizar> good bye
[22:39] <Unit193> At least one of us has, good luck!
[22:42] <Os_Maleus> well, now, I have installed the older version. hoped/-ing for a possibility to upgrade. but somehow, the update-manager doesn't want to offer that. guess, I have to play a bit around with the settings of the package manager.
[22:43] <Os_Maleus> recon_lap: -î
[22:47] <recon_lap> Os_Maleus: this might help http://xubuntu.org/upgrading/
[22:47] <Unit193> Os_Maleus: Did you also remove the CD source?
[22:48] <Os_Maleus> thanks, recon_lap! yep, I did, Unit193. that helped to eliminate the trouble with the error messages. thanks!
[22:52] <spaceneedle> Just installed Xubuntu 12.10 on a usb stick and it boots up to a black screen on my Dell latitude. Same thing with Ubuntu 12.10 beta 2.
[22:53] <recon_lap> spaceneedle: you ,might want to try this  http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-to-set-nomodeset-for-installation , I'd like to know if it works as well
[22:54] <recon_lap> spaceneedle: opps, not sure about 12.10 , I though they would have fixed it
[22:55] <spaceneedle> Had the same problem with Bodhi too.
[22:56] <Unit193> spaceneedle: Sounds like the computer is a bit odd, would recommend trying some of the boot options and asking in #ubuntu+1
[22:56] <recon_lap> spaceneedle: well, you could try monodeset boot option, that bug does give you a blank screen on certain hardware
[22:58] <spaceneedle> I'll give it a try and report back.
