| alex_____ | hi | 04:20 |
| alex_____ | anybody home_ | 04:20 |
| alex_____ | anybody? | 04:20 |
| well_laid_lawn | probably not | 04:21 |
| alex_____ | heh, funny. | 04:21 |
| well_laid_lawn | I'm at work | 04:21 |
| alex_____ | touché. | 04:21 |
| alex_____ | I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about enabling hibernation and making it work. | 04:21 |
| well_laid_lawn | I don't use hibernation | 04:22 |
| alex_____ | I screwed up when partitioning the drive while installing (set up a 2 MB swap partition). | 04:22 |
| holstein | alex_____: should be working out of the box if it can (easily) | 04:22 |
| alex_____ | Ah. ok. | 04:22 |
| holstein | alex_____: what happens when you enable and try it | 04:22 |
| unheeding | lol 2mb swap | 04:22 |
| alex_____ | I fixed the partitions (set up a swap partition with gparted after resizing the others). | 04:23 |
| alex_____ | then followed the few msgs I found for enabling it on the menu. | 04:23 |
| holstein | alex_____: what happens when you try it?.. | 04:23 |
| alex_____ | When I issue the pm-hibernate command it appears to hibernate, but when I turn on the netbook | 04:23 |
| alex_____ | it's as if I rebooted. | 04:24 |
| holstein | personally dont see the need.. waking from hibernation takes about as long as reboot | 04:24 |
| holstein | i use sleep or i just shutdown | 04:24 |
| holstein | alex_____: it will seem like it reboots | 04:24 |
| alex_____ | I need it because it's a netbook and I need to restart things where I left during my commute and sometimes I don't know how long I will be at my destination, so it saves some battery. | 04:25 |
| holstein | alex_____: thats the point.. its not sleep... the state is saved to the disk and its powered off... not sleeping | 04:25 |
| alex_____ | OK, let me see if we're on the same page: | 04:25 |
| holstein | alex_____: i use sleep on my netbook.. dont see the need in hibernation, but what you are descirbing sounds like hibernation | 04:25 |
| alex_____ | sleep/suspend = a semi-dormant state. | 04:25 |
| holstein | alex_____: it'll look like its booting | 04:25 |
| alex_____ | hibernation = save state to disk and power off. | 04:25 |
| holstein | alex_____: seems correct to me.. what you are stating | 04:26 |
| alex_____ | What I mean is that when I turn the computer back on, it starts from scratch - none of the apps I had running are open anymore. It's as if I did a shut-down instead of hibernate. | 04:26 |
| holstein | alex_____: that doesnt sound like hibernate | 04:27 |
| alex_____ | Precisely. | 04:27 |
| holstein | alex_____: what i sould do is, get hibernate working on some machine.. see if its worth the hassle | 04:27 |
| alex_____ | Before fixing the issue with the swap partition the OS would complain about not enough swap space, but | 04:27 |
| holstein | alex_____: i personally think it takes about the same amount of time.. and i just use sleep because on my commute, i literaly do open the lid and work | 04:28 |
| alex_____ | now it doesn't complain about anything. | 04:28 |
| alex_____ | I have another netbook (an acer; this one's an asus) that worked right out of the box. | 04:28 |
| alex_____ | That's why I'm wondering if I should just wipe the drive and reinstall xubuntu. | 04:28 |
| holstein | alex_____: do what you want.. if its supported, it should be working now | 04:29 |
| alex_____ | I agree. It should, but for some reason, it isn't working. | 04:29 |
| holstein | alex_____: i would say the reason is hardware support | 04:29 |
| holstein | or, configuration | 04:30 |
| alex_____ | I'm going to try the reinstall tomorrow - it shouldn't take long, and I didn't install any software here yet, so it might take care of it. | 04:30 |
| holstein | alex_____: the reinstall is an easy-ish step... otherwise, start posting logs to pastebin | 04:31 |
| alex_____ | If it doesn't then I'll look into hw or config issues. | 04:31 |
| alex_____ | I'm not terribly keen on easy-ish, but when you end up wasting so much time on stupid little things, easy-ish starts looking more and more efficient. | 04:31 |
| holstein | sure.. installing takes 8 minutes... why not.. if its a fresh install anyways | 04:32 |
| holstein | i consider reinstallation a troubleshooting step :) | 04:32 |
| alex_____ | Especially when a typo while setting up partitions ended up costing me the last 2 hours. | 04:32 |
| alex_____ | hahhahahaa! | 04:32 |
| alex_____ | That's a good one. | 04:32 |
| alex_____ | I tried installing from a flash drive. took me about a day to find out that for some reason large flash drives screw up the installation. | 04:33 |
| holstein | ive always had deent luck with unetbootin, regardless of size | 04:34 |
| holstein | decent* | 04:34 |
| alex_____ | One image I got from the xubuntu.org web site would fall flat on its face while installing software and another one, from ubuntu.org started tripping on the ubi-partition step. | 04:34 |
| alex_____ | that's when I read that someone was having the same issue because his computer had several other drives in it. | 04:35 |
| alex_____ | But this only happened on the asus. My wife's acer was up and running in no time. | 04:35 |
| holstein | not sure.. i havent seen those issues.. i would maybe test the media before installing to or from | 04:35 |
| holstein | i have a few asus netbooks... 4 or so.. they all "just work" for the most part | 04:36 |
| alex_____ | I would consider stealing it but my 5 year-old spilled apple juice on it and haven't been able to get the keyboard working again. | 04:36 |
| holstein | nah... i like the asus's better | 04:37 |
| alex_____ | All this was yesterday, while I'm staying at a friend's waiting for my electricity to return after the hurricane. | 04:37 |
| holstein | thats a good use of time... sorry about your power | 04:37 |
| alex_____ | I like this little asus a lot. I had mint with xfce in it, but for some reason it didn't feel nearly as smooth as xubuntu. | 04:37 |
| alex_____ | I've been at this linux thing for 13 months now and most of it is still a mistery to me. | 04:38 |
| alex_____ | thanks for the empathy :-) | 04:38 |
| alex_____ | Her acer with xubuntu felt like a mac while my asus, which is faster and newer felt like windows 3.1 | 04:39 |
| alex_____ | I'm going to call it a day. Thanks for your help! | 04:39 |
| holstein | alex_____: anytime.. good luck with everything! | 04:39 |
| alex_____ | thanks! good night! | 04:39 |

| nikolam | can you please re-test ix xfce weather plugin actually works for you? | 10:48 |
| nikolam | I was thinking it is because of my network timeouts/resolving, but I think not anymore. | 10:48 |
| nikolam | is all alternate CD functionality moved to desktop cd in 12.10 then? Will alternate text install CD continue to be available? | 10:54 |
| koegs | nikolam: there is no alternate-cd *jedi-move* | 10:54 |
| nikolam | koegs, I installed 12.04 from alternate cd as before | 10:55 |
| koegs | but not in 12.10 | 10:55 |
| nikolam | so is it plan that text install and everything will be integrated in desktop cd? | 10:55 |
| nikolam | in the future? | 10:55 |
| knome | nikolam, text installed won't be available, but all the other features will | 10:56 |
| nikolam | knome, because of disk space issues on CD or soemthing else. | 10:56 |
| nikolam | Maybe those wanting text install can use ubuntu text install cd and then add xubuntu-desktop or something to transform it to xubuntu? | 10:57 |
| knome | nikolam, as an implication of something else | 10:57 |
| knome | or they can use the minimal ISO and install xubuntu-desktop | 10:57 |
| nikolam | knome, and they can have basically the same set of packages as xubuntu installed from desktop cd? | 10:58 |
| knome | nikolam, that will be exactly the same set | 10:58 |
| nikolam | I am not sure if ubuntu minimal recognize raid | 10:59 |
| knome | i don't know about that either | 10:59 |
| nikolam | I used alternate install till now, for just that reason. | 10:59 |
| knome | is there some bugs in the desktop installer so you can't use it, or is it about maybe a bit too old hardware? | 11:00 |
| nikolam | but move to btrfs instead of md is also at hand. | 11:00 |
| nikolam | knome, no, I think I used it because of fotware Raid / md support exclusively. | 11:00 |
| knome | nikolam, raid support should be in 13.04 for the desktop installer | 11:00 |
| nikolam | also alternate provides ways of fixing broken install. i think I used that once or twice | 11:01 |
| knome | there will be other alternate ISO's, like lubuntu's | 11:01 |
| nikolam | knome, that is good to know. I installed last time on btrfs, is btrfs an option in Desktop install? | 11:01 |
| knome | nikolam, basically everything that was on alternate should land in desktop before the next lts | 11:02 |
| knome | nikolam, but the xubuntu team is not responsible for it, it's a ubuntu-driven project | 11:02 |
| nikolam | knome, that sounds great then.. wait.. till the next lts? | 11:02 |
| knome | the next lts is 14.04 | 11:02 |
| knome | but i believe most stuff should be in for 13.04 | 11:03 |
| nikolam | so we wait till 2014/04 to have software raid integrated to desktop .iso, by ubuntu | 11:03 |
| nikolam | I believe also. | 11:03 |
| knome | we've been promised that it will land for 13.04, but don't count on it | 11:03 |
| nikolam | Ok, I would just need to check if ubuntu minimal support md raid if someone asks. | 11:04 |
| nikolam | Otherwise, could update from lts | 11:04 |
| nikolam | Unless jumping ship to Btrfs already. | 11:04 |

| madhu | I am new to xubuntu from windows world and struggling to resolve an issue... any help and suggestion welcome->Question: I am having very bad youtube video in xubuntu chrome player. | 20:34 |
| madhu | anyone have similar issue? or anybody who have resolved it successfully? | 20:34 |
| madhu | plese let me know | 20:34 |
| Unit193 | Bad how? If the color is off, it's been said to disable hardware accel. | 20:35 |
| madhu | the video is breaking / lagging | 20:35 |
| madhu | I tried to disable hw accel but not much of difference | 20:36 |
| holstein | you can try disabling compositing.. but i would look at the graphics driver.. i would also try the actual chrome browser.. if this is a 32bit system | 20:37 |
| Unit193 | What flash package do you have? And I'd recommend you enable html5 player at http://youtube.com/html5 | 20:37 |
| Unit193 | Above is very good, and VLC can play YouTube videos as well, if you have that. | 20:38 |
| madhu | I am using chrome browser. Tried disabling flash and enabled html5 - no much difference. | 20:40 |
| madhu | I tried to use VLC but nothing is showing | 20:40 |
| madhu | Unit193, not sure I am doing it right went to VLC and in the "stream" given the youtube link.. nothing happened.. is that wrong? | 20:41 |
| madhu | Trying the above link | 20:42 |
| madhu | for html5 | 20:42 |
| Unit193 | Well, Media > Open Network Stream. May want to install jockey-kde and see if it has any driver for your card. | 20:43 |
| madhu | html5 option didn't work. vlc - was trying the network stream only. think some prob with the driver. | 20:47 |
| madhu | let me check jockey-kde - is there a website | 20:47 |
| Unit193 | !info jockey-kde | 20:50 |
| ubottu | jockey-kde (source: jockey): KDE user interface and desktop integration for driver management. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.7-0ubuntu11 (quantal), package size 9 kB, installed size 112 kB | 20:50 |
| madhu | sorry couldn't understand :( | 20:53 |
| madhu | I am bit newish to xubuntu so ... can you elaborate on how to get jockey-kde | 20:54 |
| Unit193 | Using synaptic or whatever the default package manager is, you can also open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install jockey-kde | 20:57 |
| madhu | trying sudo | 21:00 |
| madhu | hi Unit193... I have installed jockey-kde but it is not appearing anywhere in the menu | 21:18 |
| madhu | am I missing something? | 21:18 |
| holstein | madhu: start it from the terminal | 21:18 |

| madhu | Hi holstein, thanks I am starting jockey-kde from termina | 21:24 |
| knome | madhu, if you're using xubuntu, rather try jockey-gtk | 21:25 |
| madhu | Hi Knome, jockey-kde didnt work it crashed. Let me try -gtk | 21:28 |
| madhu | jockey-kde is just listing out the custom drivers. How do I load other drivers for my graphics card/ | 21:31 |
| Unit193 | knome: GTK is software sources which is reported not to work as well. :P | 21:31 |

| holstein | madhu: what are the errors when starting from terminal | 21:38 |
| madhu | holstein; when starting jockey-gtk from terminal I get the following error | 21:43 |
| madhu | gtk-critical **: gtk_icon_set_render_icon_pixbuf: assertion 'icon_set != NULL' failed | 21:44 |
| holstein | sometimes they still start though.. might need root | 21:44 |
| holstein | gksudo jockey... etc | 21:45 |
| holstein | Unit193: do you know that? | 21:45 |
| madhu | let me try to reboot | 21:45 |
| Unit193 | Can ignore that gtk error. | 21:46 |
| holstein | Unit193: im reading it that its not starting.. maybe im wrong | 21:46 |
| madhu | both unit193 and holstein - Thanks very much (that is if i don't catchup after reboot) appreciated | 21:48 |
| madhu | holstein; after reboot nothing same happening.. when I type jockey-kde i am simply getting a popup window with my current additional drivers, for me it is showing realtek driver which i loaded for wifi | 22:00 |
| madhu | afterthought.. may be nothing wrong with anything my system is very old one Evo N620c - maybe thats the reason the video is lagging | 22:00 |
| holstein | madhu: then, jockey-kde is working.. and thats the best option | 22:06 |
| holstein | madhu: i would have realistic expectations | 22:07 |
| holstein | i would try the chrome browser.. its got its own flash | 22:07 |
| madhu | am I missing something about jockey-kde? it just shows the drivers.. but no option to select any drivers | 22:07 |
| madhu | yes jockey-kde is working fine. no error messages to | 22:07 |
| madhu | *too | 22:08 |
| holstein | madhu: you can take a screenshot it you'd like | 22:09 |
| madhu | holstein: realistic expectation? It was working fine in windows xp | 22:11 |
| madhu | so expected similar youtube videos | 22:11 |
| holstein | madhu: its not fair to compare xp and xubuntu | 22:11 |
| holstein | xp came out 10+ years ago.. and the vendor of your hardware is free to create a nice driver for xubuntu as well | 22:12 |
| madhu | ah I see | 22:12 |
| madhu | agree | 22:12 |
| holstein | madhu: you are talking about driver support and flash.. not great sometimes in linux | 22:12 |
| madhu | got it | 22:12 |
| holstein | though, keep in mind, windows 8 probably wont load on your system and thats a better analog, timeframe wise | 22:12 |
