userXuser | hi | 09:53 |
userXuser | hi pepople, just wanted to ask that AMD C60 cpu with inside vga is fully supported by the kernel of xubuntu? | 09:54 |
ochosi | best way of finding out is create a live-cd or live-usb-stick and test it without installing | 09:55 |
ochosi | if the live-system works, the installed one will too | 09:55 |

GridCube | :) congrats pod | 13:34 |
GridCube | if you dont have an actual problem please join #xubuntu-offtopic to random chatter :) | 13:34 |

GridCube | zmisc, probably many | 14:22 |
GridCube | actually ill say lot do | 14:23 |
zmisc | How are you? | 14:23 |
GridCube | zmisc, :) im fine, if you dont have an actual problem please join #xubuntu-offtopic and leave this channel free for those who need help :D | 14:25 |
zmisc | GridCube: 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 |
xubuntu159 | My english is bad | 14:27 |
zmisc | xubuntu159: #ubuntu-ru | 14:27 |
GridCube | xubuntu159, :) if you want you can go to #ubuntu-ru and asks freely there :D | 14:27 |
GridCube | zmisc, i don't understand your problem :s | 14:28 |
GridCube | xubuntu 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 repos | 14:29 |
zmisc | I'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 |
zmisc | So basically multiverse is the rest of the packages in Debian' | 14:30 |
GridCube | zmisc, as said, xubuntu will give you a standard paradigm desktop, no unity nor something like that | 14:30 |
GridCube | zmisc, never actually used debian to know that | 14:30 |
zmisc | Multiverse is the rest of the Debian packages (from main/contrib/non-free) that aren't present in universe, etc. | 14:30 |
GridCube | zmisc, the universe on ubuntu is larger and slightly different than the universe on debian, but yes i think its the same | 14:31 |
=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
xubuntu159 | will xubuntu for a server that is small site? | 14:31 |
GridCube | yes xubuntu159 :) | 14:32 |
zmisc | I'd recommend just using Ubuntu Server, or Debian though | 14:32 |
zmisc | GridCube: Excellent :) I'm downloading the ISO right now :D | 14:32 |
GridCube | xubuntu159, http://ubuntovod.ru/instructions/web-server-ubuntu-php-mysql.html | 14:33 |
xubuntu159 | Thank's:) | 14:33 |
xubuntu159 | You from Russia? | 14:33 |
zmisc | xubuntu159 or I? | 14:34 |
GridCube | no, i used google translate :) | 14:34 |
xubuntu159 | GridCube, i too :) | 14:35 |
GridCube | zmisc, 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 it | 14:35 |
pod | Does anyone know how to make a shortcut to open Notes? That is, what command to execute to open Notes | 14:35 |
GridCube | theres tons and tons of soft to choose | 14:35 |
GridCube | pod, notes? or leafpad? | 14:36 |
pod | Notes. the tomboy notes alternative | 14:36 |
GridCube | if you press the "windows" key (also know as meta key or super key) and e, you open the text editor | 14:36 |
GridCube | oh, bind it to a key combination on >Settings >Keyboard >application shortcuts | 14:37 |
pod | do you know what command to run to start it? | 14:38 |
GridCube | i would bet is tomboy | 14:38 |
GridCube | you can open a terminal and try out | 14:38 |
GridCube | xfce4-notes | 14:39 |
pod | Ah, thats what i ment! Thanks! | 14:39 |
GridCube | no problem :) | 14:40 |

livingdaylight | hi | 16:56 |
livingdaylight | anyoone here familiar with OS4 - ubuntu based xfce distro | 16:57 |
TheSheep | livingdaylight: this is a support channel for xubuntu | 17:02 |
torax | #xubuntu-offtopic is for...well offtopic | 17:05 |
livingdaylight | TheSheep: you hating me? or are you really pedantic? | 17:08 |
livingdaylight | os4 is xubuntu in a way ;) | 17:08 |
bazhang | no its not | 17:08 |
Sysi | what makes it different might be what is your problem | 17:09 |
livingdaylight | bazhang speaks! | 17:09 |
bazhang | livingdaylight, lets try to stay on topic please | 17:09 |
livingdaylight | Sysi: you're unto something there. Indeed it /they use a different launcher which is on the side, which I hoped to be able to move | 17:10 |
TheSheep | livingdaylight: this is like coming into McDonalds and asking about BurgerKing hamburgers, because they are practically the same thing, no? | 17:15 |
TheSheep | but we do encourage you to ry xubuntu, maybe it will solve your problem | 17:16 |
livingdaylight | TheSheep: really? | 17:16 |
TheSheep | tr* | 17:16 |
TheSheep | try* | 17:16 |
livingdaylight | TheSheep: 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 interface | 17:18 |
TheSheep | livingdaylight: you know what? lets pretend you are using xubuntu, describe your problem, and we will try to answer how you would solve it in xubuntu | 17:18 |
livingdaylight | I 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, no | 17:18 |
TheSheep | livingdaylight: it might not work on whatever you use, but then you can install xubuntu and apply that fix on it :) | 17:19 |
livingdaylight | it works. I just don't like the interface and wondered about configuring it. | 17:19 |
jboogie | hello, just installed xubuntu 12.04, and I'm trying to connect to my home wifi (through a usb adapter) which uses wpa2 and tkip | 17:44 |
jboogie | I input the password, network manager spins but never actually connects | 17:45 |
jboogie | Maybe 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 |
GridCube | jboogie, you see the network when using the adapter? | 17:48 |
jboogie | GridCube: yes | 17:48 |
GridCube | jboogie, what model is the adapter, you can get it from lsusb | 17:49 |
jboogie | GridCube: realtek rtl8188cus 802.11n | 17:49 |
GridCube | thats what lsusb is saying? | 17:50 |
jboogie | GridCube: not exactly | 17:50 |
jboogie | but that's the model info | 17:51 |
jboogie | can't copy paste unfortunately... I'm on another laptop | 17:51 |

the_dudez0r | Hi, 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_dudez0r | Is it possible to launch a new xsession without sudoing (hence being root)? | 18:00 |
jboogie | the_dudez0r: xinit /path/to/wm -- :1 | 18:01 |
jboogie | (taken from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X#Virtual_X_session) | 18:01 |
the_dudez0r | jboogie, X says that the user is not allowed to run a new xsession | 18:02 |
GridCube | the_dudez0r, you can make your user able to launch xsessions without root | 18:02 |
jboogie | or with the sudo method, you could try and tweak /root/.asoundrc (the alsa conf file) | 18:02 |
the_dudez0r | that's why I'm using sudo | 18:02 |
the_dudez0r | GridCube, how can I do that? | 18:03 |
GridCube | sudo dpkg-reconfigure X11-common | 18:06 |
GridCube | set to anybody | 18:06 |

xubuntu839 | Howdy, if I want to create a swap partition after installation of xubuntu, can I use gparted? | 23:17 |
xubuntu839 | Thing 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 |
xubuntu839 | Anyhow.. I have a 2 GB partition.. | 23:18 |
xubuntu839 | whenever I click on "Hibernate" I get the "Not enough swap space" error message | 23:19 |
xubuntu839 | Therefore I figured.. well let's create a swap partition.. | 23:19 |
xubuntu839 | Ergo I got gparted, formatted the 2 gb leftover partition to a linux-swap | 23:19 |
xubuntu839 | When doing so "free -m" still told me "swap 0 0 0" | 23:20 |
xubuntu839 | so back to gparted, rightclick on the swap-partition | 23:21 |
xubuntu839 | I clicked on "Activate ... memory" | 23:21 |
xubuntu839 | now "free -m" provided me with the correct amount of swap.. well I finally had some | 23:21 |
xubuntu839 | hitting "Hibernate" produced another "No permission" error.. therefore I used "sudo pm-hibernate" from the terminall.. | 23:22 |
xubuntu839 | and well it looked like it went to Hibernate... | 23:22 |
David-A | xubuntu839: 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 boot | 23:22 |
xubuntu506 | Cannot 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 |
xubuntu839 | after reboot it seemed to have forgotten about the swap... | 23:23 |
xubuntu839 | David-A: Oky, I'll try the fstab thingy, thx! | 23:24 |
xubuntu839 | David-A: am I right in my assumption, that I need to find out my swap's UUID ? | 23:26 |
David-A | xubuntu839: you know about saving a copy of the current fstab and have a live-cd ready if things go wrong? | 23:26 |
David-A | xubuntu839: uuid is optional, you can specify /dev/xxx or uuid or label. | 23:27 |
xubuntu839 | so just /dev/sda5 no options, no pass? | 23:28 |
xubuntu839 | mount point ? type? | 23:28 |
David-A | xubuntu839: 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 |
xubuntu839 | David-A: ;) plus it's shorter | 23:30 |
xubuntu839 | David-A: okay, wish me luck ;) | 23:32 |
David-A | xubuntu839: the man page explains the fields. i'v read it so you don't have to. mountpoint = none, type = swap | 23:32 |
xubuntu839 | David-A: ah thanks.. well yeah I was wondering whether or not to leave that blank.. | 23:32 |
David-A | xubuntu839: oh, options, dump, and pass for swap isn't in the man page. | 23:33 |
xubuntu839 | David-A: I'm afraid you lost me | 23:33 |
xubuntu839 | David-A: What man page are you talking about? | 23:33 |
David-A | xubuntu839: blank, as in white space, is separator, i think there must be something in each field | 23:34 |
David-A | xubuntu839: man fstab | 23:34 |
xubuntu839 | David-A: woah | 23:35 |
xubuntu839 | David-A: okay, I'm gonna read that tomorrow.. thanks for your help :) | 23:36 |
David-A | xubuntu506: ok, in my fstab dump = 0 and pass = 0, if you cant find any doc about it | 23:38 |
David-A | xubuntu839: ^ | 23:38 |
