[09:55] best way of finding out is create a live-cd or live-usb-stick and test it without installing [09:55] if the live-system works, the installed one will too === TheSheep_ is now known as TheSheep [11:26] Hello Guys, is on Xubuntu 12.x any tool to do Expose ? [11:33] Frank-man: no [11:34] only with compiz :( ? [11:37] Frank-man: theoretically you can try skippy-xd, but i'd rather use compiz personally [11:39] ochosi, thx for info ! :-) [11:39] Frank-man: np [12:07] Is it possible to set mouse scrolling speed in xubuntu [12:21] hello [12:24] !hi [12:24] Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! [13:26] 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] :) congrats pod [13:34] if you dont have an actual problem please join #xubuntu-offtopic to random chatter :) [13:35] right, thanks!

Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! [14:21] I'm from Russian [14:21] Russia [14:21] Any web developers use Xubuntu as their workstation OS? [14:22] one minute [14:22] !ru | welcome xubuntu159, if you wish: [14:22] welcome xubuntu159, if you wish:: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [14:22] zmisc, probably many [14:23] actually ill say lot do [14:23] How are you? [14:25] 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] 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] My english is bad [14:27] xubuntu159: #ubuntu-ru [14:27] xubuntu159, :) if you want you can go to #ubuntu-ru and asks freely there :D [14:28] zmisc, i don't understand your problem :s [14:29] 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] 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] So basically multiverse is the rest of the packages in Debian' [14:30] zmisc, as said, xubuntu will give you a standard paradigm desktop, no unity nor something like that [14:30] zmisc, never actually used debian to know that [14:30] Multiverse is the rest of the Debian packages (from main/contrib/non-free) that aren't present in universe, etc. [14:31] zmisc, the universe on ubuntu is larger and slightly different than the universe on debian, but yes i think its the same === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [14:31] will xubuntu for a server that is small site? [14:32] yes xubuntu159 :) [14:32] I'd recommend just using Ubuntu Server, or Debian though [14:32] GridCube: Excellent :) I'm downloading the ISO right now :D [14:33] xubuntu159, http://ubuntovod.ru/instructions/web-server-ubuntu-php-mysql.html [14:33] Thank's:) [14:33] You from Russia? [14:34] xubuntu159 or I? [14:34] no, i used google translate :) [14:35] GridCube, i too :) [14:35] 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] Does anyone know how to make a shortcut to open Notes? That is, what command to execute to open Notes [14:35] theres tons and tons of soft to choose [14:36] pod, notes? or leafpad? [14:36] Notes. the tomboy notes alternative [14:36] if you press the "windows" key (also know as meta key or super key) and e, you open the text editor [14:37] oh, bind it to a key combination on >Settings >Keyboard >application shortcuts [14:38] do you know what command to run to start it? [14:38] i would bet is tomboy [14:38] you can open a terminal and try out [14:39] xfce4-notes [14:39] Ah, thats what i ment! Thanks! [14:40] no problem :) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [16:56] hi [16:57] anyoone here familiar with OS4 - ubuntu based xfce distro [17:02] livingdaylight: this is a support channel for xubuntu [17:05] #xubuntu-offtopic is for...well offtopic [17:08] TheSheep: you hating me? or are you really pedantic? [17:08] os4 is xubuntu in a way ;) [17:08] no its not [17:09] what makes it different might be what is your problem [17:09] bazhang speaks! [17:09] livingdaylight, lets try to stay on topic please [17:10] 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] livingdaylight: this is like coming into McDonalds and asking about BurgerKing hamburgers, because they are practically the same thing, no? [17:16] but we do encourage you to ry xubuntu, maybe it will solve your problem [17:16] TheSheep: really? [17:16] tr* [17:16] try* [17:18] 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] 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] 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] livingdaylight: it might not work on whatever you use, but then you can install xubuntu and apply that fix on it :) [17:19] it works. I just don't like the interface and wondered about configuring it. [17:44] 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] I input the password, network manager spins but never actually connects [17:45] Maybe I have to tell it somewhere that I'm usking tkip? [17:46] /etc/network/interfaces maybe? (found someone mentioning it on some forum) [17:48] jboogie, you see the network when using the adapter? [17:48] GridCube: yes [17:49] jboogie, what model is the adapter, you can get it from lsusb [17:49] GridCube: realtek rtl8188cus 802.11n [17:50] thats what lsusb is saying? [17:50] GridCube: not exactly [17:51] but that's the model info [17:51] can't copy paste unfortunately... I'm on another laptop [17:51] jboogie, http://www.r-statistics.com/2011/11/edimax-ew-7811un-usb-wireless-connecting-to-a-network-on-ubuntu-11-10/ [17:51] should be the same [17:51] s/should/might/ [17:59] 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] Is it possible to launch a new xsession without sudoing (hence being root)? [18:01] the_dudez0r: xinit /path/to/wm -- :1 [18:01] (taken from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X#Virtual_X_session) [18:02] jboogie, X says that the user is not allowed to run a new xsession [18:02] the_dudez0r, you can make your user able to launch xsessions without root [18:02] or with the sudo method, you could try and tweak /root/.asoundrc (the alsa conf file) [18:02] that's why I'm using sudo [18:03] GridCube, how can I do that? [18:06] sudo dpkg-reconfigure X11-common [18:06] set to anybody [20:58] Good evning ppl [21:00] Can anyone tell me why i cant install Xubuntu from WUBI? [21:01] Rropicana: I give up, why? [21:03] hue? Well when i choose Xubuntu in the drop down meny it starts the downloading bur gets an error at some fil and the install get canceled [21:05] Rropicana: what error? [21:07] TheSheep: Cant download the metalink and there before the ISO [21:07] TheSheep: The fils name is wubi-12.04-rev269.log [21:08] Rropicana: I don't understand [21:09] Rropicana: can you pastebin the error that you are getting? [21:11] pastebin? [21:11] Rropicana: http://paste.ubuntu.com [21:13] aha, you mean like sending a support message? or what is that? [21:14] Using http://pastebin.com [21:19] Rropicana: this is a place where you can copy-and-paste the exact error message, and paste the link here, so that we can see it [21:21] aha, okey, but im not sure what title i should put on it [21:28] Rropicana: it doesnt really matter [21:29] TheSheep: I have now posted it [21:29] torax: ok [21:29] Hi there [21:30] Rropicana: what is the url for it? [21:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1275721/ [21:30] i would like to use Unity in Xubuntu 12.10, how can i get that to work? [21:31] did install unity but at login i can not choose for Unity [21:32] xubuntu701: you should install ubuntu not xubuntu? [21:33] Rropicana: looks like 12.04 was replaced with 12.04.1 [21:33] and the old links don't work anymore [21:33] yes but i am running Xubuntu already [21:33] knome: any idea why the 12.04 metalink is deleted? [21:34] TheSheep: So i just need to download the install fil again, I mean WUBI.exe? [21:34] Rropicana: I would try that [21:35] 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] TheSheep: That is great! Thx for the awesome support ;) [21:39] TheSheep: Just so you know, I have redownload the WUBI file, But still i get the error message [21:40] So i hope they/you will fix the bug at the server sonn :) [21:46] Rropicana: I will report a bug [21:47] TheSheep: Thats awesome! So then i will be able to download/install it next week? [21:48] Rropicana: no idea, I'm actually just a user like you [21:48] aha, but a user will alot of knowlig :) [21:50] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-meta/+bug/1066150 [21:50] Launchpad bug 1066150 in xubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "WUBI fails to install xubuntu 12.04 because only 12.04.1 metalink file exists" [Undecided,New] [21:51] Rropicana: you can follow what happens with that bug under that address [21:51] Great! Thx! [21:51] Rropicana: also you can provide more information if you have it [21:52] Well i dont think i have more info:) [21:56] Rropicana: just select that this bug affects you too [21:56] for that you need to register and log in [21:56] Yeah sure I can do that [22:02] I have posted now :) [23:17] Howdy, if I want to create a swap partition after installation of xubuntu, can I use gparted? [23:18] 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] Anyhow.. I have a 2 GB partition.. [23:19] whenever I click on "Hibernate" I get the "Not enough swap space" error message [23:19] Therefore I figured.. well let's create a swap partition.. [23:19] Ergo I got gparted, formatted the 2 gb leftover partition to a linux-swap [23:20] When doing so "free -m" still told me "swap 0 0 0" [23:21] so back to gparted, rightclick on the swap-partition [23:21] I clicked on "Activate ... memory" [23:21] now "free -m" provided me with the correct amount of swap.. well I finally had some [23:22] hitting "Hibernate" produced another "No permission" error.. therefore I used "sudo pm-hibernate" from the terminall.. [23:22] and well it looked like it went to Hibernate... [23:22] 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] 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] after reboot it seemed to have forgotten about the swap... [23:24] David-A: Oky, I'll try the fstab thingy, thx! [23:26] David-A: am I right in my assumption, that I need to find out my swap's UUID ? [23:26] xubuntu839: you know about saving a copy of the current fstab and have a live-cd ready if things go wrong? [23:27] xubuntu839: uuid is optional, you can specify /dev/xxx or uuid or label. [23:28] so just /dev/sda5 no options, no pass? [23:28] mount point ? type? [23:28] 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] David-A: ;) plus it's shorter [23:32] David-A: okay, wish me luck ;) [23:32] xubuntu839: the man page explains the fields. i'v read it so you don't have to. mountpoint = none, type = swap [23:32] David-A: ah thanks.. well yeah I was wondering whether or not to leave that blank.. [23:33] xubuntu839: oh, options, dump, and pass for swap isn't in the man page. [23:33] David-A: I'm afraid you lost me [23:33] David-A: What man page are you talking about? [23:34] xubuntu839: blank, as in white space, is separator, i think there must be something in each field [23:34] xubuntu839: man fstab [23:35] David-A: woah [23:36] David-A: okay, I'm gonna read that tomorrow.. thanks for your help :) [23:38] xubuntu506: ok, in my fstab dump = 0 and pass = 0, if you cant find any doc about it [23:38] xubuntu839: ^
