[09:53] <userXuser> hi
[09:54] <userXuser> hi pepople, just wanted to ask that AMD C60 cpu with inside vga is fully supported by the kernel of xubuntu?
[09:55] <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
[11:26] <Frank-man> Hello Guys, is on Xubuntu 12.x any tool to do Expose ?
[11:33] <ochosi> Frank-man: no
[11:34] <Frank-man> only with compiz :( ?
[11:37] <ochosi> Frank-man: theoretically you can try skippy-xd, but i'd rather use compiz personally
[11:39] <Frank-man> ochosi, thx for info ! :-)
[11:39] <ochosi> Frank-man: np

[13:26] <pod> I just love Xubuntu! (none of my friends care so I thought I'll tell you guys instead) I'm using it with Plank dock instead of the panel launcher, skippy-xd for expomode and Verve command line application search.
[13:34] <GridCube> :) congrats pod
[13:34] <GridCube> if you dont have an actual problem please join #xubuntu-offtopic to random chatter :)
[13:35] <pod> right, thanks!
[13:55] <xubuntu601> ciao a tutti
[13:56] <baizon> ciao
[13:57] <GridCube> ciao :)
[13:57] <GridCube> !it
[13:57] <GridCube> :)
[13:58] <xubuntu601> ok grazie scusate
[14:21] <xubuntu159> hi all))
[14:21] <GridCube> !hi
[14:21] <xubuntu159> I'm from Russian
[14:21] <xubuntu159> Russia
[14:21] <zmisc> Any web developers use Xubuntu as their workstation OS?
[14:22] <xubuntu159> one minute
[14:22] <GridCube> !ru | welcome xubuntu159, if you wish:
[14:22] <GridCube> zmisc, probably many
[14:23] <GridCube> actually ill say lot do
[14:23] <zmisc> How are you?
[14:25] <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
[14:26] <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.
[14:27] <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
[14:28] <GridCube> zmisc, i don't understand your problem :s
[14:29] <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.
[14:30] <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.
[14:31] <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] <xubuntu159> will xubuntu for a server that is small site?
[14:32] <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
[14:33] <GridCube> xubuntu159, http://ubuntovod.ru/instructions/web-server-ubuntu-php-mysql.html
[14:33] <xubuntu159> Thank's:)
[14:33] <xubuntu159> You from Russia?
[14:34] <zmisc> xubuntu159 or I?
[14:34] <GridCube> no, i used google translate :)
[14:35] <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
[14:36] <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
[14:37] <GridCube> oh, bind it to a key combination on >Settings >Keyboard >application shortcuts
[14:38] <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
[14:39] <GridCube> xfce4-notes
[14:39] <pod> Ah, thats what i ment! Thanks!
[14:40] <GridCube> no problem :)
[16:56] <livingdaylight> hi
[16:57] <livingdaylight> anyoone here familiar with OS4 - ubuntu based xfce distro
[17:02] <TheSheep> livingdaylight: this is a support channel for xubuntu
[17:05] <torax> #xubuntu-offtopic is for...well offtopic
[17:08] <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
[17:09] <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
[17:10] <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
[17:15] <TheSheep> livingdaylight: this is like coming into McDonalds and asking about BurgerKing hamburgers, because they are practically the same thing, no?
[17:16] <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*
[17:18] <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
[17:19] <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.
[17:44] <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
[17:45] <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?
[17:46] <jboogie> /etc/network/interfaces maybe? (found someone mentioning it on some forum)
[17:48] <GridCube> jboogie, you see the network when using the adapter?
[17:48] <jboogie> GridCube: yes
[17:49] <GridCube> jboogie, what model is the adapter, you can get it from lsusb
[17:49] <jboogie> GridCube: realtek rtl8188cus 802.11n
[17:50] <GridCube> thats what lsusb is saying?
[17:50] <jboogie> GridCube: not exactly
[17:51] <jboogie> but that's the model info
[17:51] <jboogie> can't copy paste unfortunately... I'm on another laptop
[17:51] <GridCube> jboogie, http://www.r-statistics.com/2011/11/edimax-ew-7811un-usb-wireless-connecting-to-a-network-on-ubuntu-11-10/
[17:51] <GridCube> should be the same

[17:59] <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?
[18:00] <the_dudez0r> Is it possible to launch a new xsession without sudoing (hence being root)?
[18:01] <jboogie> the_dudez0r: xinit /path/to/wm -- :1
[18:01] <jboogie> (taken from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X#Virtual_X_session)
[18:02] <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
[18:03] <the_dudez0r> GridCube, how can I do that?
[18:06] <GridCube> sudo dpkg-reconfigure X11-common
[18:06] <GridCube> set to anybody
[20:58] <Rropicana> Good evning ppl

[21:31] <xubuntu701> did install unity but at login i can not choose for Unity
[21:32] <recon_lap> xubuntu701: you should install ubuntu not xubuntu?
[21:33] <TheSheep> Rropicana: looks like 12.04 was replaced with 12.04.1
[21:33] <TheSheep> and the old links don't work anymore
[21:33] <xubuntu701> yes but i am running Xubuntu already
[21:33] <TheSheep> knome: any idea why the 12.04 metalink is deleted?
[21:34] <Rropicana> TheSheep: So i just need to download the install fil again, I mean WUBI.exe?
[21:34] <TheSheep> Rropicana: I would try that
[21:35] <TheSheep> Rropicana: if that doesn't work, then it's a bug on the servers that hold the images, and it should be fixed
[21:36] <Rropicana> TheSheep: That is great! Thx for the awesome support ;)
[21:39] <Rropicana> TheSheep: Just so you know, I have redownload the WUBI file, But still i get the error message

[21:51] <TheSheep> Rropicana: also you can provide more information if you have it

[21:56] <Rropicana> Yeah sure I can do that
[22:02] <Rropicana> I have posted now :)
[23:17] <xubuntu839> Howdy, if I want to create a swap partition after installation of xubuntu, can I use gparted?
[23:18] <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..
[23:19] <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
[23:20] <xubuntu839> When doing so "free -m" still told me "swap 0 0 0"
[23:21] <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
[23:22] <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
[23:23] <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...
[23:24] <xubuntu839> David-A: Oky, I'll try the fstab thingy, thx!
[23:26] <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?
[23:27] <David-A> xubuntu839: uuid is optional, you can specify /dev/xxx or uuid or label.
[23:28] <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...
[23:30] <xubuntu839> David-A: ;) plus it's shorter
[23:32] <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..
[23:33] <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?
[23:34] <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
[23:35] <xubuntu839> David-A: woah
[23:36] <xubuntu839> David-A: okay, I'm gonna read that tomorrow.. thanks for your help :)
[23:38] <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: ^
