userXuserhi pepople, just wanted to ask that AMD C60 cpu with inside vga is fully supported by the kernel of xubuntu?09:54
ochosibest way of finding out is create a live-cd or live-usb-stick and test it without installing09:55

GridCubezmisc, :) im fine, if you dont have an actual problem please join #xubuntu-offtopic and leave this channel free for those who need help :D14:25
zmiscGridCube: I've been a Debian user since 2002 (I've ran stable (ugh!) on my workstations since then, as well as XFCE since 4.0.x) I'd like a selection of more modern software and I haven't run Debian using packages from testing/sid and haven't used any of the apt pinning techniques. I don't really want to abandon Debian and XFCE. But I can't sit on 3 year old software.14:26
xubuntu159My english is bad14:27
zmiscxubuntu159: #ubuntu-ru14:27
GridCubexubuntu159, :) if you want you can go to #ubuntu-ru and asks freely there :D14:27
GridCubezmisc, i don't understand your problem :s14:28
GridCubexubuntu is really stable and has all the apt-sources that ubuntu does, also it uses the same debs than debian has to install something not in the repos14:29
zmiscI'm in a dilemma (I really don't know what choice to make) I know this situation is pretty subjective, but I am really having a difficult time in choosing which route to take.14:29
zmiscSo basically multiverse is the rest of the packages in Debian'14:30
GridCubezmisc, as said, xubuntu will give you a standard paradigm desktop, no unity nor something like that14:30
GridCubezmisc, never actually used debian to know that14:30
zmiscMultiverse is the rest of the Debian packages (from main/contrib/non-free) that aren't present in universe, etc.14:30
GridCubezmisc, the universe on ubuntu is larger and slightly different than the universe on debian, but yes i think its the same14:31
=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se
xubuntu159will xubuntu for a server that is small site?14:31
GridCubeyes xubuntu159 :)14:32
zmiscI'd recommend just using Ubuntu Server, or Debian though14:32
zmiscGridCube: Excellent :) I'm downloading the ISO right now :D14:32
GridCubexubuntu159, http://ubuntovod.ru/instructions/web-server-ubuntu-php-mysql.html14:33
xubuntu159Thank's:)14:33
xubuntu159You from Russia?14:33
zmiscxubuntu159 or I?14:34
GridCubeno, i used google translate :)14:34
xubuntu159GridCube, i too :)14:35
GridCubezmisc, xubuntu uses the whole universe of ubuntu, thats pretty big, it uses a standard paradigm desktop, not unity or anything like that, so you should feel confortable with it14:35
podDoes anyone know how to make a shortcut to open Notes? That is, what command to execute to open Notes14:35
GridCubetheres tons and tons of soft to choose14:35
GridCubepod, notes? or leafpad?14:36
podNotes. the tomboy notes alternative14:36
GridCubeif you press the "windows" key (also know as meta key or super key) and e, you open the text editor14:36
GridCubeoh, bind it to a key combination on >Settings >Keyboard >application shortcuts14:37
poddo you know what command to run to start it?14:38
GridCubei would bet is tomboy14:38
GridCubeyou can open a terminal and try out14:38

livingdaylightanyoone here familiar with OS4 - ubuntu based xfce distro16:57
TheSheeplivingdaylight: this is a support channel for xubuntu17:02
torax#xubuntu-offtopic is for...well offtopic17:05
livingdaylightTheSheep: you hating me? or are you really pedantic?17:08
livingdaylightos4 is xubuntu in a way ;)17:08
bazhangno its not17:08
Sysiwhat makes it different might be what is your problem17:09
livingdaylightbazhang speaks!17:09
bazhanglivingdaylight, lets try to stay on topic please17:09
livingdaylightSysi: you're unto something there. Indeed it /they use a different launcher which is on the side, which I hoped to be able to move17:10
TheSheeplivingdaylight: this is like coming into McDonalds and asking about BurgerKing hamburgers, because they are practically the same thing, no?17:15
TheSheepbut we do encourage you to ry xubuntu, maybe it will solve your problem17:16
livingdaylightTheSheep: really?17:16
TheSheeptr*17:16
TheSheeptry*17:16
livingdaylightTheSheep: for me its all Linux, particularly ubuntu + xfce... Since, it is essentially ubuntu + xfce, which I believe is what xubuntu is, I just wondered whether anyone here might have come across OS4 and knew something  about their interface17:18
TheSheeplivingdaylight: you know what? lets pretend you are using xubuntu, describe your problem, and we will try to answer how you would solve it in xubuntu17:18
livingdaylightI like OS4 because it has been tweaked to make everything work to its optimum including blue-ray dvd... but, I don't like their interface, no17:18
TheSheeplivingdaylight: it might not work on whatever you use, but then you can install xubuntu and apply that fix on it :)17:19
livingdaylightit works. I just don't like the interface and wondered about configuring it.17:19
jboogiehello, just installed xubuntu 12.04, and I'm trying to connect to my home wifi (through a usb adapter) which uses wpa2 and tkip17:44
jboogieI input the password, network manager spins but never actually connects17:45
jboogieMaybe I have to tell it somewhere that I'm usking tkip?17:45
jboogie/etc/network/interfaces maybe? (found someone mentioning it on some forum)17:46
GridCubejboogie, you see the network when using the adapter?17:48
jboogieGridCube: yes17:48
GridCubejboogie, what model is the adapter, you can get it from lsusb17:49
jboogieGridCube: realtek rtl8188cus 802.11n17:49
GridCubethats what lsusb is saying?17:50
jboogieGridCube: not exactly17:50
jboogiebut that's the model info17:51

the_dudez0rHi, I'm creating a new xsession via "sudo xinit /usr/bin/jwm -- :1" in order to play a game there (quake). The problem is, whatever application I launch from that session, is outputting sound through my laptop's speakers rather than through my usb headsets. As a regular user I have the sound configured to go through my headset, but since the new xsession is launched as root, this is not the case. How could I solve this?17:59
the_dudez0rIs it possible to launch a new xsession without sudoing (hence being root)?18:00
jboogiethe_dudez0r: xinit /path/to/wm -- :118:01
jboogie(taken from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X#Virtual_X_session)18:01
the_dudez0rjboogie, X says that the user is not allowed to run a new xsession18:02
GridCubethe_dudez0r, you can make your user able to launch xsessions without root18:02
jboogieor with the sudo method, you could try and tweak /root/.asoundrc (the alsa conf file)18:02
the_dudez0rthat's why I'm using sudo18:02
the_dudez0rGridCube, how can I do that?18:03

xubuntu839Howdy, if I want to create a swap partition after installation of xubuntu, can I use gparted?23:17
xubuntu839Thing is.. I'd really like to use the Hibernate-Function. However I probably messed something up when formatting my linux mint installation and installing xubuntu...23:18
xubuntu839Anyhow.. I have a 2 GB partition..23:18
xubuntu839whenever I click on "Hibernate" I get the "Not enough swap space" error message23:19
xubuntu839Therefore I figured.. well let's create a swap partition..23:19
xubuntu839Ergo I got gparted, formatted the 2 gb leftover partition to a linux-swap23:19
xubuntu839When doing so "free -m" still told me "swap 0 0 0"23:20
xubuntu839so back to gparted, rightclick on the swap-partition23:21
xubuntu839I clicked on "Activate ... memory"23:21
xubuntu839now "free -m" provided me with the correct amount of swap.. well I finally had some23:21
xubuntu839hitting "Hibernate" produced another "No permission" error.. therefore I used "sudo pm-hibernate" from the terminall..23:22
xubuntu839and well it looked like it went to Hibernate...23:22
David-Axubuntu839: good, you can tell it to use a swap partition directly with "swapon /dev/sdXX", or add it to /etc/fstab to be used automatically at boot23:22
xubuntu506Cannot get Xubuntu to boot after installation as sole OS...be gentle, I'm a noob! :-) The last thing I see when it tries to reboot is [ 2270.598869] panic occurred, switching back to text console.23:23
xubuntu839after reboot it seemed to have forgotten about the swap...23:23
xubuntu839David-A: Oky, I'll try the fstab thingy, thx!23:24
xubuntu839David-A: am I right in my assumption, that I need to find out my swap's UUID ?23:26
David-Axubuntu839: you know about saving a copy of the current fstab and have a live-cd ready if things go wrong?23:26
David-Axubuntu839: uuid is optional, you can specify /dev/xxx or uuid or label.23:27
xubuntu839so just /dev/sda5 no options, no pass?23:28
xubuntu839mount point ? type?23:28
David-Axubuntu839: modern people like uuid because /dev/xxx can change if you plug in sata-disks and such. me, i like /dev/xxx and hate external sata disks...23:28
xubuntu839David-A: ;) plus it's shorter23:30
xubuntu839David-A: okay, wish me luck ;)23:32
David-Axubuntu839: the man page explains the fields. i'v read it so you don't have to. mountpoint = none, type = swap23:32
xubuntu839David-A: ah thanks.. well yeah I was wondering whether or not to leave that blank..23:32
David-Axubuntu839: oh, options, dump, and pass for swap isn't in the man page.23:33
xubuntu839David-A: I'm afraid you lost me23:33
xubuntu839David-A: What man page are you talking about?23:33
David-Axubuntu839: blank, as in white space, is separator, i think there must be something in each field23:34
David-Axubuntu839: man fstab23:34
xubuntu839David-A: woah23:35
xubuntu839David-A: okay, I'm gonna read that tomorrow.. thanks for your help :)23:36
David-Axubuntu506: ok, in my fstab dump = 0 and pass = 0, if you cant find any doc about it23:38
David-Axubuntu839: ^23:38
