| eldergeek | good evening all. | 02:32 |
| eldergeek | I've a video problem with a Dell Dimension C600/C500. Xubuntu 12.04 LTS installed well enough but the video seems to be split horizontally and overlapped with distortion in the overlap region. xrandr seems to have become obsolete and there is no xorg.conf file. Have I any options? Google has been singularly unhelpful. | 02:37 |

| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| xubuntu274 | running xubuntu and new to it, lsb_release -a yields Distributor ID:Ubuntu Description:Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Release:12.04 Codename:precise | 16:40 |
| xubuntu274 | issue is i cannot play mp3's etc. or dvd's and cannot install flash | 16:41 |
| xubuntu274 | am a rank amateur | 16:41 |
| bazhang | install xubuntu-restricted-extras xubuntu274 | 16:45 |
| xubuntu274 | so i type "install xubuntu-restricted-extras"? | 16:47 |
| bazhang | sudo apt-get install packagename | 16:48 |
| xubuntu274 | do i know what "packagename" is, or is that standing in for a name i should know? | 16:50 |
| bazhang | xubuntu-restricted-extras | 16:51 |
| xubuntu274 | so, "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras"? | 16:52 |
| bazhang | correct | 16:52 |
| xubuntu274 | okay. it's doing something. | 16:53 |
| xubuntu274 | so now i have a message in a box asking me to agree to the terms of its EULA and i want to but i don't see how to | 17:01 |
| xubuntu274 | i press "enter" for "ok" but nothing happens | 17:02 |
| bazhang | xubuntu274, tab to it | 17:07 |
| bazhang | ie hit the <tab> key | 17:08 |
| xubuntu274 | LOL! thanks. | 17:08 |
| bazhang | :) | 17:08 |
| xubuntu274 | okay. so now i've been returned to the command line prompt. it appears to be done but then i get the white exclamation point in the blue circle telling me to click it and i get this message: Failure to download extra data files The following packages requested additional data downloads after package installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could not be processed. ttf-mscorefonts-installer The download will be atte | 17:15 |
| xubuntu274 | download again now. Running this command requires an active Internet connection. | 17:15 |
| xubuntu274 | there are two buttons. one says "run this action now" and the other says "close". i'm guessing "run this action now"? | 17:16 |
| bazhang | yep | 17:16 |
| xubuntu274 | that opened another terminal which has now closed, can i assume it's finished? that i can close the info dialogue box and the other terminal? | 17:20 |
| bazhang | try installing it again | 17:20 |
| xubuntu274 | you mean "sudo apt-get" etc or "run this action now"? | 17:22 |
| bazhang | sudo apt-get | 17:22 |
| xubuntu274 | that yields "Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done xubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version. The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: linux-headers-3.2.0-29-generic linux-headers-3.2.0-29 Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." | 17:24 |
| bazhang | bravo | 17:24 |
| xubuntu274 | should i do "apt-get autoremove"? | 17:24 |
| bazhang | yes | 17:25 |
| xubuntu274 | okay ... so is that simply "apt-get autoremove" or do i include the packagename(s), eg., linux-headers-3.2.0-29-generic | 17:26 |
| bazhang | simply that | 17:27 |
| xubuntu274 | sudo apt-get autoremove? | 17:27 |
| bazhang | yes | 17:27 |
| xubuntu274 | okay. final test should be try to play some music and video. | 17:29 |
| Xifanie | I'm on xubuntu 12.04 and I think my mount function broke or something... I get an error with automount on startup, I can't mount anything manually anymore as it asks me to specify the filesystem type, but won't accept any x_x | 17:31 |
| quant | Q. why dose firefox (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.10.1) have [english (south africa) language pack 16.0.2] installed | 17:31 |
| xubuntu274 | thanks for all your help, bazhang. all seems well. | 17:32 |
| xubuntu274 | i'll definitely bookmark this page. | 17:33 |
| bazhang | np | 17:33 |
| bazhang | try a dvd now | 17:33 |
| xubuntu274 | oh yeah. good idea. una momenta. | 17:34 |
| xubuntu274 | good call, bazhang. i cannot view the DVD i inserted. parole opened but then informed me "Could not read DVD. This may be because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed." | 17:38 |
| bazhang | xubuntu274, ok | 17:40 |
| bazhang | go to medibuntu.org and get the libdvdcss2 deb for your version of xubuntu | 17:40 |
| bazhang | 12.10 was it? | 17:40 |
| quant | Q. why does xubuntu 12.10 firefox (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.10.1) have [english (south africa) language pack 16.0.2] installed by default | 17:42 |
| xubuntu274 | 12.04.1 | 17:42 |
| bazhang | quant, why not remove it if you dont want it there | 17:42 |
| bazhang | http://packages.medibuntu.org/precise/libdvdcss2.html <---- xubuntu274 | 17:43 |
| quant | i did but i had to sudo thunar to delete the files | 17:44 |
| bazhang | quant, thats never the way to remove packages | 17:44 |
| quant | there was no other way to remove them that I could see | 17:45 |
| bazhang | with the package manager | 17:45 |
| bazhang | randomly removing packages like you did is incredibly bad | 17:46 |
| quant | Ubuntu Software Centre could not find /usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions/langpack-en-ZA@firefox.mozilla.org.xpi or /usr/lib/firefox/distribution/searchplugins/locale/en-ZA | 17:47 |
| bazhang | quant, they take up next to zero space. why not leave them be in the first place | 17:48 |
| xubuntu274 | following your weblink, i'm uncertain which link to then follow. do i enable Medibuntu first and then "click here" or ?? and/or how do i ascertain whether to click on i386 or amd64? | 17:49 |
| quant | why do i need them installed, if i don't use them? | 17:49 |
| bazhang | xubuntu274, are you on 64bit or 32bit | 17:50 |
| quant | more to the ponit how would you remove them? | 17:50 |
| bazhang | quant, are you in a rush? I will try , once I have seen to xubuntu274 's issue | 17:51 |
| xubuntu274 | i should know whether i'm which but i don | 17:51 |
| xubuntu274 | don't know. | 17:51 |
| bazhang | xubuntu274, what does uname -a say in the terminal | 17:52 |
| quant | no rush | 17:53 |
| xubuntu274 | Linux keepitsimple-ME051 3.2.0-33-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 18 16:19:45 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux | 17:53 |
| quant | tnks | 17:53 |
| xubuntu274 | so do i simply download the i386 or must i enable medibuntu first? | 17:54 |
| bazhang | xubuntu274, see the i686 and i386? | 17:54 |
| bazhang | thats 32bit | 17:54 |
| xubuntu274 | yes | 17:54 |
| bazhang | just click on the deb | 17:54 |
| xubuntu274 | sorry, i want to be sure here: click on the i386? | 17:55 |
| bazhang | yep | 17:55 |
| xubuntu274 | save file or open with ?? | 17:56 |
| bazhang | open with | 17:57 |
| xubuntu274 | open with what? or just okay, open? | 17:57 |
| bazhang | does it not offer something to open with? | 17:58 |
| xubuntu274 | it says "choose helper application" and just takes me to a "recently used" dialogue box listing recent files | 17:59 |
| xubuntu274 | no application offered | 17:59 |
| bazhang | ok. so save to Desktop, or somewhere in your home folder that you can easily find it | 18:00 |
| xubuntu274 | done. | 18:01 |
| bazhang | now go to that deb, and right click, does it offer something to open it with? | 18:02 |
| xubuntu274 | archive manager, with an alternative to browse for a different application. clicking on the alternatives, the recommended's are the archive manager but also the ubuntu software center. | 18:04 |
| bazhang | the software centre | 18:04 |
| xubuntu274 | installing ... | 18:06 |
| xubuntu274 | installed. try playing the DVD? | 18:07 |
| bazhang | close mplayer or the like? | 18:07 |
| xubuntu274 | yes, i've closed parole. | 18:08 |
| bazhang | ok | 18:08 |
| bazhang | so try ! | 18:08 |
| xubuntu274 | trying ... | 18:08 |
| xubuntu274 | you have incredible patience, bazhang. all is well. kudos. | 18:09 |
| bazhang | xubuntu274, what about flash in firefox or other browser | 18:10 |
| xubuntu274 | yes. flash. i'm on it. | 18:10 |

| mrfree | if I boot the livecd splash works and so on | 18:15 |
| mrfree | any idea? | 18:15 |
| mrfree | I've the same problem with ubuntu 12.10 | 18:15 |
| xubuntu274 | bazhang, flash works. | 18:15 |
| bazhang | xubuntu274, so all good? | 18:16 |
