| xubuntu073 | is there an install guide for a complete linux noob that someone can link me to | 00:39 |
|---|---|---|
| David-A | xubuntu073: there isn't any obvious install guide at http://docs.xubuntu.org/ as far as I can see, but the install process is very much the same for Xubuntu as for Ubuntu. you should be able to find websites explaining it. | 00:51 |
| xubuntu073 | thanks | 00:52 |
| David-A | xubuntu073: or you can ask specific questions you want explained here, and we'll see what we can do | 00:52 |
| xubuntu073 | well what i think you're supposed to do is put the download on a disk or usb and boot from there | 00:52 |
| xubuntu073 | correct?\ | 00:52 |
| well_laid_lawn | yep | 00:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | have an idea of how you want to partition the hdd | 00:53 |
| David-A | xubuntu073: exactly, thats the first step for 2 of the 3 of 4 options to install | 00:53 |
| David-A | *or | 00:54 |
| kj4 | hello xubards | 00:54 |
| xubuntu073 | alright, thanks. i'll look up the steps from there. | 00:55 |
| David-A | xubuntu073: you need to burn the .iso as an image and not as a file, if burning to cd/dvd, or you use a program like unetbootin to create an usb-stick from the .iso file. | 00:55 |
| xubuntu073 | so i need to mount the .iso on my usb? | 00:57 |
| David-A | xubuntu073: it is not called "mount". unetbootin copies the .iso in a special way (rips the iso9660 filesystem apart and recreates the same thing in fat filesystem, I think) | 01:00 |
| xubuntu073 | so regardless of whether or not i'm using a USB or CD i should use unetbootin | 01:01 |
| David-A | xubuntu073: no, unetbootin (or other similar program) for usb, cd-burning-program for cd/dvd | 01:02 |
| David-A | xubuntu073: you go for usb or cd? (usb if computer have no cd/dvd drive) (cd/dvd if computer cannot boot from usb) (lost if neither) | 01:04 |
| xubuntu073 | got it. i | 01:12 |
| xubuntu073 | i'll probably do Usb | 01:12 |
| xubuntu073 | so unetbootin it is | 01:12 |
| xubuntu073 | thanks | 01:12 |
| David-A | xubuntu073: iirc unetbootin will offer to select a linux-distro and download an .iso for you, if you already have downloaded and don't want to again, make sure to point it to the existing .iso | 01:18 |
| adnanh | David-A, PXE if he has an ethernet port and another computer :) | 01:20 |
| xubuntu073 | PXE? | 01:20 |
| === kj4 is now known as kj5 | ||
| adnanh | basically you have your other computer feed the first one installation files over ethernet | 01:22 |
| xubuntu073 | that sounds pretty cool | 01:22 |
| xubuntu073 | but this is my first time | 01:22 |
| adnanh | ah | 01:22 |
| xubuntu073 | so i think i'll probably just usb boot | 01:22 |
| adnanh | well usb boot works for you | 01:22 |
| adnanh | i thought you were stuck with no usb and no cd rom | 01:22 |
| xubuntu073 | nah i got a usb. does it need to be clean except for the ISO though, because mine has other stuff on it as well | 01:23 |
| adnanh | my advice is to back your stuff from usb anyway | 01:23 |
| xubuntu073 | i already did, but can i use the iso alongside the other stuff or hsould i delete it | 01:24 |
| adnanh | see what the unetbootin says | 01:24 |
| xubuntu073 | kk will do, thanks | 01:25 |
| adnanh | good luck :) | 01:26 |
| xubuntu073 | oh one last question | 01:26 |
| xubuntu073 | when i boot from the usb and install it and all that crap, will it delete the old os for me | 01:26 |
| David-A | xubuntu073: another precaution, I've seen someone select C: instead of the usb drive in unetbootin and caused a slight amount of trouble | 01:26 |
| adnanh | xubuntu073, depends what you choose in the partitioning part of the setup | 01:26 |
| adnanh | iirc, you will be given option of replacing your current OS | 01:27 |
| adnanh | installing alongside | 01:27 |
| xubuntu073 | got it | 01:27 |
| adnanh | and something else which when chosen gives you ability to make custom partition setup | 01:27 |
| xubuntu073 | thanks everyone :) | 01:27 |
| adnanh | try booting into live cd first so you can join us online during the install :D | 01:27 |
| xubuntu073 | i have two computers so that wont be a problem | 01:28 |
| adnanh | ah :) | 01:28 |
| xubuntu073 | question is do i do it tonight... | 01:29 |
| adnanh | do you need it tonight? are you tired? :D | 01:29 |
| xubuntu073 | no and kind of but i'm also really excited xD | 01:29 |
| adnanh | did you install any other OS before? :) | 01:30 |
| xubuntu073 | the computer i'm going to install xubuntu on is currently running OSX, my other computer (desktop) is dual booting osx and windows 7 | 01:31 |
| adnanh | so you're familiar with the concept of partitions | 01:31 |
| xubuntu073 | but no i've never installed linux | 01:31 |
| xubuntu073 | yes | 01:31 |
| adnanh | you won't have any problems then :) | 01:31 |
| adnanh | installation is really simple and it's guided with wizard | 01:32 |
| xubuntu073 | well i actually don't play on partitioning; i'm just going to wipe OSX because it stinks! but yeah i heard xubuntu was great for beginners so here i am | 01:32 |
| adnanh | you should do it then :) | 01:33 |
| xubuntu073 | i guess i will then. i'm at a friends house but as soon as i get home i'll hop back on here and start it up | 01:33 |
| adnanh | :) | 01:33 |
| xubuntu073 | appreciate the help | 01:33 |
| David-A | if you not going to keep anything on the disk, it does not matter if you are tired when doing it. if thrashed, just take a coffie and try again | 01:34 |
| adnanh | glad you're trying xubuntu :) hope you'll stay with us haha | 01:34 |
| adnanh | :) | 01:34 |
| adnanh | I reckon even a potato could install xubuntu without messing anyting up :))) | 01:35 |
| xubuntu073 | i'm sure i will - and will probably have a crapload of questions later haha | 01:35 |
| adnanh | I'm off for tonight, good luck with your installation :) | 01:37 |
| David-A | xubuntu073: mac hw may not have bios and mac disk may have non-msdos partition-table. things should work, but check that partitioning tools works alright, or create new partition-table | 01:37 |
| xubuntu073 | gnight | 01:37 |
| xubuntu073 | and david i won't be partitioning so will that still be an issue? | 01:37 |
| adnanh | I'm pretty sure disks share the same standard | 01:38 |
| David-A | xubuntu073: i've seen that some partitioning tools have problem. it may matter if you use advice from random blogs to solve disk problems in the future | 01:39 |
| adnanh | :) | 01:39 |
| adnanh | anyway, I hope everything goes well, and if you don't like xubuntu from the beginning, don't give up just yet | 01:40 |
| xubuntu073 | thanks :D and david, so you're saying that it won't matter for the start up but in the future i should keep that in mind?\ | 01:40 |
| David-A | xubuntu073: yes, that is what I think. (I don't have mac hw myself, so I don't know what can happen.) | 01:41 |
| xubuntu073 | gocha. well if i have problems i always have a second computer to get a new distro or whatever it is that i might need, so i'm not worried | 01:42 |
| adnanh | xubuntu073, do you know the model | 01:42 |
| xubuntu073 | it's a 2009 white macbook 13", 2.26 ghz, 2 gb ram. not sure what the actual model name/number is | 01:43 |
| adnanh | I'm pretty sure you'll be able to pull this off :) | 01:46 |
| xubuntu073 | yay! | 01:46 |
| adnanh | and since you said it doesn't really matter if you trash the current os installation | 01:47 |
| adnanh | there's nothing wrong in trying :D | 01:47 |
| xubuntu073 | true that. i'll be home in 10 and then i'll start it up | 01:47 |
| adnanh | good luck, I'm off for now :) | 01:49 |
| adnanh | bye | 01:49 |
| viszu | I wanna set terminal cursor (block shape) to gray color and invert the color of the character underneath, so it is always visible, is that possible ? | 02:35 |
| v1adimir | maybe ~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc ? http://askubuntu.com/questions/151403/xubuntu-how-to-restore-default-terminal-text-coloring | 02:36 |
| v1adimir | though it doesn't sound right | 02:40 |
| viszu | I know how to change color, but the cursor don't invert the character underneath, so for example gray letter is not visible when gray cursor is on it | 02:42 |
| v1adimir | found this old bug (?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-terminal/+bug/673489 | 02:45 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 673489 in xfce4-terminal (Ubuntu) "xfce4-terminal cursor opaque / not inverting" [Low,Triaged] | 02:45 |
| viszu | yea that's it :< | 02:48 |
| viszu | it worries me that this bug is at least 2 years old and they still didn't fixed it | 02:49 |
| v1adimir | heh never even noticed it :s | 02:50 |
| Tavas | will messaging indicator eventually be available on xubuntu again? Is there an alternative applet? | 03:40 |
| holstein | for what app? what messages? | 03:41 |
| Tavas | pidgin and mail notifications | 03:41 |
| holstein | what mail? thrunderbird? | 03:42 |
| holstein | thunderbird* | 03:42 |
| Tavas | i used to have a notification app which integrated in the messaging indicator | 03:42 |
| Tavas | thought that was on gnome | 03:42 |
| holstein | Tavas: i thought i still did | 03:42 |
| holstein | Tavas: i remember removing it recently, because i want quite the opposiste | 03:43 |
| holstein | opposite* | 03:43 |
| holstein | Tavas: i would look for "notification area" and try adding it | 03:43 |
| holstein | see if that gets you want you want.. sometimes i make a "test panel" and just add things til i figure out what they do | 03:44 |
| Tavas | it was this one -- https://launchpad.net/gm-notify/0.x/0.7 | 03:45 |
| Tavas | not on xubuntu right now so i can't test it now | 03:45 |
| holstein | Tavas: when you get on xfce and want to solve it, let us know :) | 03:46 |
| holstein | http://gmnotify.sourceforge.net/ | 03:46 |
| holstein | "GmNotify is a tray applet that notifies you of new messages from Gmail and provides an easy mechanism to get to them. It was designed for Linux/*NIX to run in Gnome, KDE, and XFCE" | 03:46 |
| Tavas | holstein: thanks! as for my first question, will the indicator be back eventually? | 03:47 |
| holstein | Tavas: i have an indicator | 03:48 |
| holstein | if you removed it, just put it back.. and it'll be back | 03:48 |
| Tavas | release notes says it's not available on 12.10? | 03:48 |
| Tavas | http://xubuntu.org/news/12-10-release/ | 03:49 |
| holstein | Tavas: i did a 12.04 install, and removed a think with an evelope on it | 03:49 |
| holstein | Tavas: i want quite the opposite, so im not sure.. i never tested it | 03:49 |
| Tavas | so it is available on 12.04 but not on 12.10 i guess | 03:49 |
| Tavas | holstein: which xfce version does 12.04 use? | 03:50 |
| holstein | Tavas: we dont need to guess.. just fire it up and look for yourself | 03:50 |
| holstein | Tavas: if you dont have what you want, just ask for it | 03:50 |
| holstein | Tavas: if you dont know its missing, then we dont need to address its missing yet | 03:50 |
| holstein | 4.10 i though | 03:51 |
| holstein | thought* | 03:51 |
| holstein | Tavas: i use the 12.04, since its lts... there will be some changes going from gtk2 to gtk3 im sure | 03:51 |

| xubuntu_user | the computer won't load xubuntu without a usb stick | 03:53 |
| xubuntu_user | I need to change this | 03:53 |
| xubuntu_user | some have noted it might be in the grub list | 03:53 |
| xubuntu_user | but no grub list loads | 03:53 |
| xubuntu_user | I tried bootloader from software area and sudo install commands in terminal | 03:54 |
| xubuntu_user | neither work | 03:54 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: i would refer to the documentation above... also i might suggest a trick, assuming you havent broken anything yet | 03:54 |
| holstein | reboot the system with the USB stick if that is necessary | 03:54 |
| holstein | unmount and remove the stick... and run in a terminal 'sudo update-grub' | 03:55 |
| holstein | if that doesnt work, i would just follow the "restore grub from live CD" info that i linked earlier | 03:55 |
| xubuntu_user | this is taking a lot of time, why does xubuntu make USB stick necessary by default? | 03:57 |
| xubuntu_user | I didn't do any advanced settings or anything | 03:58 |
| xubuntu_user | I just installed Xubuntu out of the box | 03:58 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: well, to be fair, you made the stick necessary by the way you installed | 03:58 |
| xubuntu_user | but it said available space | 03:58 |
| xubuntu_user | 80gb | 03:58 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: its taking a lot of time because you are new to grub | 03:58 |
| xubuntu_user | my USB stick is only 8gb | 03:58 |
| xubuntu_user | I am just talking common sense | 03:59 |
| xubuntu_user | not experience | 03:59 |
| xubuntu_user | specifically | 03:59 |
| xubuntu_user | the unexperienced should be able to install on hard drive | 03:59 |
| xubuntu_user | and then have it work from the hard driver | 03:59 |
| xubuntu_user | hard drive | 03:59 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: sure.. but you are also asking the machine to share that common sense, and it wont.. its just a machine | 03:59 |
| xubuntu_user | a human is at the other end | 03:59 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: all i can share is facts about how grub works, and what i think would be the easiest way to get what you need | 04:00 |
| xubuntu_user | the computer is in between | 04:00 |
| xubuntu_user | I can't imagine linux programmers know how to do all the other stuff, but they can't by default have the operating system load from the hard drive | 04:00 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: i do have that, and you can.. its not a big deal.. its a misconfiguration that can be addressed several ways | 04:01 |
| xubuntu_user | if you want it to load from the USB then it should be in the advanced settings | 04:01 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows is an easy way | 04:02 |
| xubuntu_user | it should automatically load from hard drive by default | 04:02 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: if you want to load "it", being the usb installer? | 04:02 |
| xubuntu_user | bio | 04:02 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: what should what? | 04:02 |
| xubuntu_user | no | 04:02 |
| xubuntu_user | the computer | 04:02 |
| xubuntu_user | I turn computer on | 04:02 |
| xubuntu_user | it loads | 04:02 |
| xubuntu_user | no USB stick necessary | 04:02 |
| holstein | if you did an install, and had a stick in, grub will want that stick around to boot.. im assuming thats what you are talking about | 04:03 |
| xubuntu_user | yes | 04:03 |
| xubuntu_user | but why does it default to that? | 04:03 |
| xubuntu_user | why can't it default to hard drive regardkess | 04:03 |
| xubuntu_user | you can't install ubuntu from the hard drive | 04:04 |
| xubuntu_user | you have to have the CD or USB stick | 04:04 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: you are free to look at grub, and/or ubuntu or xubuntu and rewite any of that | 04:04 |
| holstein | the fact is... you can restore grub, and pretty quick and have what you want | 04:04 |
| xubuntu_user | how do I look at it if it doesn't load? | 04:04 |
| xubuntu_user | I am trying to find how tto do tha | 04:04 |
| xubuntu_user | I have been trying other methods until now | 04:04 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows is what i would suggest | 04:04 |
| holstein | BUT, you might be able to boot the machine, and remove the stick and run 'sudo update-grub' | 04:05 |
| xubuntu_user | that is too confusing | 04:05 |
| xubuntu_user | it has XXX | 04:05 |
| xubuntu_user | what do I put for XXX? | 04:05 |
| holstein | it? | 04:05 |
| xubuntu_user | the site | 04:05 |
| xubuntu_user | you sent me to a retore stire | 04:05 |
| xubuntu_user | I am tire | 04:05 |
| xubuntu_user | there | 04:05 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: im sure you are | 04:05 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: you can also just reinstall | 04:05 |
| xubuntu_user | it will do the same if I reinstall | 04:06 |
| holstein | if you literlaly just installed.. and have no data, just reinstall.. it takes like 8 minutes | 04:06 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: just dont put that stick in | 04:06 |
| xubuntu_user | but it will do the same | 04:06 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: have only the hard drive in when you install | 04:06 |
| xubuntu_user | how do you reinstall without putting the stick in? | 04:06 |
| xubuntu_user | you need the USB to install it | 04:06 |
| xubuntu_user | or a CD | 04:06 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: that is a different issue | 04:06 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: im not sure that you have installed it | 04:06 |
| xubuntu_user | lol | 04:06 |
| xubuntu_user | it is installed | 04:07 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: burn a cd if its easier | 04:07 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: what would i do? | 04:07 |
| xubuntu_user | I don't have cds | 04:07 |
| xubuntu_user | and I don't have a cd player | 04:07 |
| holstein | i would just reinstall... making sure that grub is going where you want it to go | 04:07 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: i routinely install with USB sticks, and grub works fine | 04:07 |
| xubuntu_user | it doesn't ask about grub | 04:08 |
| xubuntu_user | you just telll it to install | 04:08 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: im not sure how or why grub is either installed to the usb stick, or miconfigured, or expecting the usb stick | 04:08 |
| xubuntu_user | I only set the time | 04:08 |
| xubuntu_user | keyboard layout | 04:08 |
| xubuntu_user | and space | 04:08 |
| xubuntu_user | then it does everything else | 04:08 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: sure.. you can use an alternate iso if you'd like | 04:08 |
| xubuntu_user | it doesn't stout the grubhp to ask me abo | 04:08 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: but, i literally do as you do and that is not the outcome | 04:08 |
| xubuntu_user | what does that mean? | 04:08 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: is there more than one partition on the usb stick? | 04:09 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: you can also just follow the link i gave, and restore grub | 04:09 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 04:09 |
| holstein | /dev/sda is likely where you want it to go | 04:10 |
| holstein | you can look in the terminal by running 'sudo fdisk -l' and see all your partitions | 04:10 |
| holstein | OR follow "where XXX is the device of your Ubuntu install. (eg: grub-install /dev/sdb). Hint: You can also use /dev/disk/by-label/ if the partition you installed on has a label. You can determine the /dev node for such a device by running" | 04:10 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: OR, use any other boot manager | 04:11 |
| holstein | http://gag.sourceforge.net/ | 04:11 |
| xubuntu_user | I don't understand what that is | 04:11 |
| xubuntu_user | this is too confusing | 04:11 |
| xubuntu_user | I just want to click install and have it install to my hard drive | 04:11 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: i would just reinstall | 04:11 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: i do | 04:11 |
| xubuntu_user | I can't | 04:11 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: it does | 04:11 |
| xubuntu_user | it will do the same thing | 04:11 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: im not sure what you are doing incorrectly | 04:12 |
| xubuntu_user | If I reinstall, then in 30 minutes I will have t he same problem | 04:12 |
| xubuntu_user | I have already done it several times | 04:12 |
| xubuntu_user | I put USB stick in | 04:12 |
| xubuntu_user | it asks for time | 04:12 |
| xubuntu_user | time zone | 04:12 |
| xubuntu_user | it asks for keyboard layout | 04:12 |
| xubuntu_user | it asks for available space | 04:12 |
| xubuntu_user | and then it installs | 04:12 |
| xubuntu_user | It doesn't ask me about grub settings | 04:12 |
| xubuntu_user | it doesn;t ask me to load using USB stick or hard drive | 04:12 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: i download an iso.. i format the entire drive with gparted to fat32... i use unetbootin to make the stick.. i install answering the questions you typed and it just works | 04:13 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: the alternate iso asks.. the line one doesnt | 04:13 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: the live one is a bit more automated and usually just works | 04:13 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: is there more than one partition on the installer usb stick? | 04:13 |
| xubuntu_user | the partition is on my hard drive | 04:14 |
| xubuntu_user | but it is using all of the hard drive | 04:14 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: the usb stick you are using as the installation media | 04:14 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: is there more than one partition on it? | 04:14 |
| xubuntu_user | it is just a usb stip | 04:15 |
| xubuntu_user | stick | 04:15 |
| xubuntu_user | 8gb | 04:15 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: correct | 04:15 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: is there just one partition on it? | 04:15 |
| xubuntu_user | yes | 04:15 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: fat32? what did you make the installer with? | 04:15 |
| holstein | unetbootin? | 04:15 |
| xubuntu_user | it is not letting me unmount the USB stick | 04:15 |
| xubuntu_user | no | 04:15 |
| xubuntu_user | the other one | 04:15 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: what is "it" | 04:15 |
| xubuntu_user | the computer | 04:15 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: so, you have not installed? | 04:15 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: the stick is not working fo the installation? | 04:16 |
| xubuntu_user | installed what? | 04:16 |
| xubuntu_user | installation of what? | 04:16 |
| xubuntu_user | I already told you | 04:16 |
| xubuntu_user | I installed Xubuntu | 04:16 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: whatever is on the usb stick.. im assuming xubuntu 12.10? | 04:16 |
| xubuntu_user | but it won't load unless I use a usb stick | 04:16 |
| xubuntu_user | yes | 04:16 |
| xubuntu_user | I already told you a thousand times | 04:16 |
| xubuntu_user | it installed xubuntu | 04:16 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: simpler answers please | 04:16 |
| xubuntu_user | but it will not load | 04:16 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: relax please | 04:16 |
| xubuntu_user | unless I use a usb stick | 04:17 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: i realise you are frustrated.. but we are volunteers | 04:17 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: im going to ask you a few questions and i want yes or no.. ok? | 04:17 |
| xubuntu_user | if I could just get it to install to the hard drive then I can do what I need to do on it | 04:17 |
| xubuntu_user | it is wasting my week trying to figure this out | 04:17 |
| xubuntu_user | the programmers of linux can do all the other stuff | 04:17 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: and i understand you are frustrated | 04:17 |
| xubuntu_user | but they can;t make it install to hard drive by default? | 04:18 |
| xubuntu_user | I can't believe that | 04:18 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: but what you need to understand is, you have a configuration issue | 04:18 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: i routinely install from USB in 8 minutes | 04:18 |
| holstein | and i will show you how... will you answer yes or no? | 04:18 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: you need to let go of your frustration now.. i didnt code any of this | 04:18 |
| xubuntu_user | type out the steps | 04:19 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: its not tech support.. im not getting paid.. im just a friendly face in a channel trying to help? ok? | 04:19 |
| xubuntu_user | I will try others online | 04:19 |
| xubuntu_user | ok | 04:19 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: will you answer yes or no? | 04:19 |
| xubuntu_user | stop with the mumbo jumbo | 04:19 |
| xubuntu_user | yes or no to what? | 04:19 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: i assure you this is not mumbo jumbo | 04:19 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: i would like to ask you questions.. and you say yes or no... ok? | 04:19 |
| holstein | to help determine the cause of the issue you are experiencing | 04:20 |
| holstein | well, i'll start. you downloaded the live xubuntu 12.10 iso, correct? | 04:21 |
| holstein | you can answer yes or no... | 04:21 |
| holstein | if your answer is "i dont know", thats fine.. we'll determine what you downloaded | 04:21 |
| xubuntu_user | I got 12.04 to usb | 04:24 |
| xubuntu_user | it shows a grub on this netbook | 04:25 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: you downloaded the xubuntu 12.04 live iso? correct? | 04:25 |
| xubuntu_user | but not on the desktop I have problems with | 04:25 |
| xubuntu_user | yes, if that is the one you get for a usb | 04:25 |
| xubuntu_user | usb install | 04:25 |
| xubuntu_user | i followed the directions from the ubuntu site | 04:26 |
| xubuntu_user | just as it is listed | 04:26 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: you can install 12.04, 12.10, or any *buntu from USB.. check and see what iso you downloaded | 04:26 |
| holstein | it'll say in the label... 12.10, or 12.04 | 04:27 |
| xubuntu_user | that is irrelevant info | 04:27 |
| xubuntu_user | I already told you | 04:27 |
| xubuntu_user | I got 12.04 | 04:27 |
| xubuntu_user | the issue at hand is the grub | 04:27 |
| xubuntu_user | and usb stick being needed to load | 04:27 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: you actually said "if that is the one you get for a usb", and its not | 04:28 |
| xubuntu_user | ok | 04:28 |
| xubuntu_user | then I didn't get it | 04:28 |
| xubuntu_user | so what? | 04:28 |
| xubuntu_user | the point is I got something | 04:28 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: didnt get what? | 04:28 |
| xubuntu_user | or else xubuntu wouldn't have loaded at all | 04:28 |
| xubuntu_user | I already told you | 04:28 |
| xubuntu_user | are you stupid? | 04:28 |
| xubuntu_user | are you a bot? | 04:28 |
| xubuntu_user | is this a robot reply? | 04:28 |
| holstein | xubuntu_user: im just trying to determine what media you used to install from and what operating system you are using | 04:28 |
| xubuntu_user | or am I communicating with a human? | 04:29 |
| xubuntu_user | that was fast typing | 04:29 |
| xubuntu_user | so I surmise you are not a human on the other end | 04:29 |

| nikolam | it is strange how whole system waits to bring up network interface and meanwhile I can not use text consoles | 07:48 |
| nikolam | I had one install where it waited forever actually | 07:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | static ip address can speed things up some | 07:49 |
| Marzathah | is there a way to open Xfce Notes with the keyboard? | 07:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | Marzathah: you can set a keyboard shortcut for that | 07:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | I don't think it comes standard | 07:56 |
| Marzathah | dunno how to do it, esp. when once the app is started and it is the panel | 07:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | I've never used notes but there's some blogs about it | 07:58 |
| well_laid_lawn | Marzathah: this might help - http://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce/2011-October/029257.html | 07:59 |
| nikolam | I set up static network on a machine upon basic install without GUI. Now when I installed xubuntu-desktop, Network can not be configured in GUI. | 08:00 |
| nikolam | e.g. interface got some 169* adress range from DHCP I don't know where he got it from. | 08:02 |
| nikolam | maybe that't ISP private | 08:02 |
| nikolam | also ifup/ifdown and ifconfig <interface> up/down seems that have no effect when changing /etc/network/interfaces manually, until restart ... | 08:06 |
| well_laid_lawn | <nikolam> I set up static network on a machine upon basic install without GUI. | 08:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | what does that entail? | 08:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | you edited /etc/network/interfaces? | 08:07 |
| nikolam | well_laid_lawn, I suppose ubuntu-minimal, it was from alternate 12.04 install with deselected xubuntu-desktop | 08:08 |
| nikolam | yes, I edited it to be able to have network upon install. and added route and resolv.conf | 08:08 |
| well_laid_lawn | k | 08:08 |
| nikolam | since dhcp never works upon fresh install.. | 08:09 |
| nikolam | and after adding GUI I have no network with DHCP again | 08:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | are those files the same or has something overwritten them ? | 08:09 |
| nikolam | well_laid_lawn, please restate your question | 08:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | nikolam: have those network files changed since you installed the gui ? | 08:10 |
| nikolam | I am changing them right now to be able to have a network working | 08:10 |
| nikolam | yes I also changed them upon GUI install to make DHCP work and deselected static setup in interfaces | 08:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | is networkmanager running? | 08:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | ps aux | grep -i net | 08:11 |
| nikolam | you think that bricked GUI? | 08:11 |
| nikolam | I now already set up static again manually. | 08:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | something changed the network settings | 08:12 |
| nikolam | and yes, again no ip interface up on reboot... | 08:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | sounds like something to manage the network is started | 08:13 |
| nikolam | well I changed them and it only works when I set up all the bits manually. Remember, NO network working upon minimal install . nicht | 08:13 |
| nikolam | i don't know what that would be on wresh minimal install with no gui | 08:14 |
| nikolam | I can only guess it is by design for ubuntu in general for minimal install, not to have working dhcp upon reboot | 08:15 |
| nikolam | upon fresh install | 08:15 |
| well_laid_lawn | can you paste your /etc/network/interfaces file ? | 08:18 |
| well_laid_lawn | !paste | 08:18 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 08:18 |
| nikolam | well_laid_lawn, I just adied it. It owrked for net upon fresh install | 08:18 |
| nikolam | edited it. | 08:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | so it's all good then ? | 08:20 |
| well_laid_lawn | ok then :) | 08:20 |
| nikolam | yes and answer to your question for ps aux | grep -i net , is that I only have network monitor started in panel that I added (since also it did not see second wlan0 interface untill reboot, too.) | 08:22 |
| well_laid_lawn | cheers | 08:24 |
| nikolam | I guess Ubuntu assign 169* address range to unconfigured interfaces. ... I see wlan even have static route added I did not put there | 08:26 |
| nikolam | and now to re-test all installed packages... | 08:28 |
| well_laid_lawn | heh luck | 08:28 |
| well_laid_lawn | ;) | 08:28 |
| nikolam | Maybe xubuntu-desktop does not have dependency on network manager, or any changes to interfaces stop it from working? | 08:29 |
| nikolam | hm network-manager IS installed.. | 08:33 |
| nikolam | and nm-applet IS runnign, just not displaying itself... | 08:34 |
| well_laid_lawn | I thought there was something else setting the network | 08:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | you sound like you know what you're doing | 08:45 |
| nikolam | how do you think it would be a good way to re-check all installed packages and their files for checksums? I used debsums -acl and it found binutils and miscfiles that I did aptitude reinstall. | 09:07 |
| xubuntu576 | Hello all is there a way to get better support with AMD drivers? | 10:42 |
| xubuntu576 | My windows lags when i drag them any ideas for preformence | 10:43 |
| v1adimir | settings manager - window manager - advanced - hide contents when resizing would be my suggestion | 10:44 |
| xubuntu576 | ook i am installing right now | 10:45 |
| v1adimir | avoids a lot of not needed stress :) | 10:45 |
| v1adimir | xubuntu576: there's nothing to install, should be there | 10:45 |
| v1adimir | *already | 10:45 |
| xubuntu576 | when i am done ill pop back on here also I feel that AMD drivers dont do a whole lot | 10:45 |
| xubuntu576 | I am installing Zubuntu 12.10 right now | 10:46 |
| xubuntu576 | xubuntu | 10:46 |
| xubuntu576 | sorry | 10:46 |
| v1adimir | upgrading? | 10:46 |
| xubuntu576 | nope | 10:46 |
| xubuntu576 | full | 10:46 |
| v1adimir | but have you had 12.04 before? | 10:46 |
| xubuntu576 | i donwloaded it and burned it from scratch | 10:46 |
| xubuntu576 | yes | 10:46 |
| xubuntu576 | but very laggy | 10:46 |
| v1adimir | you might not like 12.10, just a friendly warning :S | 10:46 |
| xubuntu576 | I am hoping this will fix it | 10:47 |
| xubuntu576 | so fare i ahve had bad luck with every distro | 10:47 |
| v1adimir | it will preform the same as the livecd | 10:47 |
| xubuntu576 | well is there any tweaks | 10:47 |
| xubuntu576 | like there has to be somthing | 10:47 |
| xubuntu576 | i have tried alow of distros and nothing is preforming right | 10:48 |
| v1adimir | there's the new(er) kernel and a bunch of stuff, but many things are broken | 10:48 |
| xubuntu576 | all lag | 10:48 |
| xubuntu576 | whats broken | 10:48 |
| xubuntu576 | Lubuntu has issues as well | 10:48 |
| xubuntu576 | I have noticed all the new 12.10 releases are bad | 10:48 |
| v1adimir | it's just not LTS that's why probably | 10:49 |
| xubuntu576 | whats LTS have to do with you Ubuntu make quality Distro | 10:49 |
| xubuntu576 | i mean ubuntu not you sorry | 10:50 |
| v1adimir | if I knew exactly, I wouldn't have said probably :D | 10:50 |
| xubuntu576 | Well quality should not change the way the site shows how good it is looks like I would be sold on installing now from what you said makes me not wanna run it now lol | 10:51 |
| v1adimir | it's the 2 notable issues from http://xubuntu.org/news/12-10-release/ | 10:51 |
| xubuntu576 | casue i had issues from Lubuntu and that was upgrading | 10:51 |
| v1adimir | and then there will be stuff not installed by default that was there in 12.04 on fresh install (even on upgrade) | 10:52 |
| xubuntu576 | The messaging indicator is not available for 12.10 Duplicated partitions might be shown at Thunar sidebar and the desktop | 10:52 |
| xubuntu576 | thats what you mean | 10:52 |
| xubuntu576 | right | 10:52 |
| v1adimir | yeah, but everything is reflected on the livecd/usb - if you still have / don't have problems when running it - your system, once installed, should be equal to it almost exactly | 10:53 |
| v1adimir | i mean except for boot time if using the cd for example | 10:54 |
| xubuntu576 | so what ya saying is if i have issues with preformence then no pont in running it | 10:54 |
| v1adimir | if the livecd gives you grief, it is what it is :( | 10:54 |
| xubuntu576 | all i have is laggy windows since 12.04 | 10:54 |
| xubuntu576 | thats what it is for all ditros right | 10:55 |
| v1adimir | unless you're really missing something, like if you have older hardware and you need a particular driver | 10:55 |
| xubuntu576 | so LTS or not still a problem | 10:55 |
| xubuntu576 | i have HD5770 | 10:55 |
| v1adimir | so what do you mean by lagging, just choppy edges when moving? | 10:55 |
| xubuntu576 | but AMD Drivers make my system lag more | 10:56 |
| xubuntu576 | and laggy what I mean is the windows jitter across my screen and seems like its teleporting | 10:56 |
| xubuntu576 | the windows lags when moving it | 10:57 |
| v1adimir | not sure if it's so severe for me, but on the GTS 450 i get a lot of that | 10:57 |
| xubuntu576 | whats casuing this | 10:57 |
| xubuntu576 | this happens on every distro | 10:57 |
| xubuntu576 | dont matter what desktop | 10:58 |
| v1adimir | no idea, it's syncing from the X server | 10:58 |
| xubuntu576 | thas why I stoped 12.04 | 10:58 |
| v1adimir | but i just hide the contents when moving and don't worry about putting compiz or doing anything like that | 10:58 |
| v1adimir | and it's fine :) | 10:58 |
| xubuntu576 | XFCE was the best untill it started messing up and lagging | 10:58 |
| xubuntu576 | what you mean hide contents | 10:59 |
| xubuntu576 | ill brb need to restart | 10:59 |
| xubuntu576 | this is a fresh install | 10:59 |
| v1adimir | the setting in window manager | 10:59 |
| xubuntu576 | will you be here when i get back | 10:59 |
| v1adimir | gotta run :( | 10:59 |
| xubuntu576 | what setting is it | 11:00 |
| xubuntu576 | before you go | 11:00 |
| v1adimir | settings manager - window manager - advanced tab towards the bottom | 11:00 |
| xubuntu576 | ok | 11:00 |
| kidx | thanks | 11:06 |
| xubuntu432 | hello baby | 13:17 |
| xubuntu432 | i ave yur wolf | 13:17 |
| xubuntu432 | shuck shuck | 13:18 |
| v1adimir | xubuntu303: managed to install? | 13:35 |
| xubuntu303 | hey there.. a smb-thunar pro out here? *g | 13:35 |
| xubuntu303 | and a littelbit of configuration so far :) | 13:35 |
| v1adimir | any difference? | 13:36 |
| xubuntu303 | well, i run a win/mac single hd "wannabe nas" here, two pc's with xubuntu - if i access a nas folder from one of those xubuntu pcs with thunar, the network-tab of thunar disapears - i can mount the other paths of the nas with gigolo.. | 13:39 |
| xubuntu303 | (disapears at the other pc) | 13:39 |
| xubuntu303 | thinks because using the same username..? | 13:39 |
| v1adimir | hm | 13:40 |
| v1adimir | no idea :)) | 13:41 |
| xubuntu303 | kinda strange that the whole network tab in thunar disapers.. dunno | 13:41 |
| xubuntu669 | interessant tout cela | 13:52 |
| v1adimir | xubuntu669: what's your online connection, xDSL maybe?.. have you noticed that: sudo apt-get update needs the keys added manually now? | 13:53 |
| v1adimir | *for any PPAs that you might have | 13:53 |
| v1adimir | if you come across it, it's simple: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/809-debian-apt-get-no-pubkey-gpg-error && they key(s) are listed on the PPA | 13:54 |
| v1adimir | oops :s | 13:54 |

| Guest40870 | Because Nothing still changed! | 16:15 |
| TheSheep | no | 16:15 |
| TheSheep | works for me | 16:16 |
| Guest40870 | when I rollover something clickable the black cursor shows. | 16:16 |
| Guest40870 | but in the default state it's still white! | 16:16 |
| TheSheep | Guest40870:the applications that are running laready might still display old mouse cursor | 16:17 |

| Guest94966 | any idea how to fix that? | 18:12 |
| GridCube | Guest94966, care to share a screenshot? | 18:13 |
| Guest94966 | I'm sorry I | 18:13 |
| Guest94966 | I'm a newbite to IRC stuff | 18:13 |
| Guest94966 | how to post images here? | 18:13 |
| GridCube | !imagebin | 18:13 |
| ubottu | Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. | 18:13 |
| Guest94966 | Ok. | 18:14 |
| Guest94966 | I took the screenshot with prt scr. How to paste and save it to a file! | 18:21 |
| Guest94966 | I don't have but gThumb graphics application | 18:21 |
| Guest94966 | GridCube | 18:21 |
| GridCube | Guest94966, when you press prt scr a pop up opens that asks you where to save the picture | 18:22 |
| Guest94966 | GridCube, that didn't happen! | 18:22 |
| GridCube | you can open the screen shot program from the menu applications > Accesories > screenshot utility | 18:22 |
| GridCube | Guest94966, did you had a menu clicked while pressing prntscrn? | 18:23 |
| Guest94966 | GridCube, oh yes the Applications Menu where the icon is located | 18:24 |
| Guest94966 | it's true it shows the pop up when not clicked | 18:25 |
| GridCube | yep, thats a desing flaw | 18:25 |
| GridCube | not a bug though | 18:26 |
| Guest94966 | GridCube, do you know where can I change this icon size. It's annoying :D | 18:26 |
| GridCube | Guest94966, i dont understand your problem, thats why im asking for a screenshot :) | 18:27 |
| GridCube | you can use the program from the menu, give it a delay of a few seconds and go to the place in the menus you need to show us | 18:27 |
| Guest94966 | I'll just add it to the desktop panel | 18:27 |
| Guest94966 | GridCube, there you go http://imagebin.org/235367 | 18:36 |
| GridCube | oh... wooow | 18:36 |
| GridCube | D: | 18:36 |
| Guest94966 | :D | 18:36 |
| GridCube | thats a huge icon | 18:36 |
| Guest94966 | that's the tooltip though | 18:37 |
| Guest94966 | but the icon is still huge :)\ | 18:37 |
| GridCube | yeah, i understand the picture | 18:37 |
| GridCube | thats a standard xfce panel correct? the one that cames with standard xubuntu, and you just changed the apps in it | 18:37 |
| Guest94966 | yeah | 18:38 |
| GridCube | so you can go al rigth clic the icon, go to Configurations > Pencil Icon > clic on the ICON next to the word Icon | 18:38 |
| GridCube | and choose any other icon you wish | 18:38 |
| GridCube | you can get a png from google images | 18:39 |
| Guest94966 | GridCube, does this gThumb allow image resizing? | 18:41 |
| GridCube | this one for example http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/franksouza183/fs/512/Apps-eclipse-icon.png | 18:41 |
| GridCube | Guest94966, if you open an image on gThumb on the side at the top, there is a Pallet icon | 18:42 |
| GridCube | there you have a lot of edition tools | 18:43 |
| GridCube | Guest94966, http://i.imgur.com/BPTwX.png | 18:44 |
| Guest94966 | GridCube, thanks man I'm bothering you with just trivial stuff :) | 18:46 |
| GridCube | :) dont worry | 18:48 |
| Guest94966 | one last question, After resizing when I try to save, "Could not find a suitable module to save the image as "image/x-xpixmap" appears | 18:49 |
| GridCube | have you added the .png at the end of the file name? | 18:50 |
| Guest94966 | GridCube, xpm yes. | 18:54 |
| GridCube | xpm? | 18:54 |
| GridCube | dunno about xpm | 18:54 |
| GridCube | let me check | 18:54 |
| GridCube | i dont see xpm among the supported filetypes | 18:55 |
| GridCube | see at the bottom of the save dialog? it says to you the formats it knows how to save to | 18:56 |
| GridCube | tiff, tga, png and jpg only | 18:56 |
| Guest94966 | also Error opening file '/opt/eclipse/icon.png': Permission denied | 18:57 |
| GridCube | because you cant save to that location | 18:59 |
| GridCube | its not own by your user, its own by root | 18:59 |
| GridCube | save it to your Images folder | 18:59 |
| Guest94966 | and then copy it to the /opt folder? | 19:01 |
| GridCube | why for? | 19:01 |
| GridCube | you just want to use it on that icon | 19:02 |
| GridCube | you could do that if you really wanted to, i dont see a reason though | 19:02 |
| Guest94966 | I mean the configs of eclipse uses the icon from this specific place | 19:02 |
| Guest94966 | so I wanted to replace the new resized image with the old one | 19:03 |
| GridCube | i always have a folder in my ~/Images named DockIcons, and i take my icons from there | 19:03 |
| Guest94966 | aha but that won't fix the icon in the Applications Menu :) | 19:03 |
| Guest94966 | just the desktop panel | 19:03 |
| GridCube | no... you can edit the menu aswel | 19:04 |
| GridCube | and if you update the program your fix will be overwrited | 19:04 |

| Guest94966 | GridCube, thanks a lot :) | 19:08 |
| GridCube | dont worry :) | 19:09 |

| deebo | something i can do to fix this? currently its only showing a part of the icon | 19:17 |
| Guest69892 | Guys I'm having an issue with the mouse pointer. I changed it to DMZ (black) | 19:23 |
| Guest69892 | but whenever I reboot it's turned back to white | 19:23 |
| Guest69892 | though it's black in the settings | 19:23 |
| GridCube | deebo, care to pass a screenshot? | 19:34 |

| GridCube | ok | 19:47 |
| GridCube | thanks | 19:47 |
| GridCube | ochosi, ping | 19:47 |
| GridCube | deebo, you could choose an smaller icon for it, choose one from google images | 19:47 |
| deebo | GridCube: not really a solution :) | 19:49 |
| GridCube | deebo, i know, but you are not the first today to come with this issue | 19:49 |
| deebo | when i hover over the launcher, the tooltip also has a 128x128 icon instead of a scaled one :P | 19:49 |
| GridCube | http://imagebin.org/235367 see, this one was earlier today | 19:50 |
| deebo | GridCube: the file manager icon seems properly scaled tho, wonder if its about the format or some weeeeeird bug | 19:50 |
| deebo | yeah heh, thats even the same program more or less | 19:50 |
| GridCube | deebo, i would not know, please check if that icon is in xpm format? | 19:50 |
| deebo | yeah its xpm | 19:50 |
| GridCube | mmmhm... same format | 19:50 |
| GridCube | could you please make a bug report? | 19:51 |
| deebo | sure, wheres the tracker | 19:51 |
| GridCube | deebo, from any terminal write ubuntu-bug xfce4-panel | 19:52 |
| deebo | oh cool | 19:52 |
| GridCube | and it will create a bug report for it and send it to launchpad, you need a launchapd account though | 19:52 |
