[02:14] <kj4> hello all
[02:15] <kj4> just wanted to say thanks to xubuntu devs- i keep coming back to this distro
[02:32] <eldergeek> good evening all.
[02:37] <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.
[02:54] <eldergeek> quit
[02:54] <eldergeek> exit

[12:59] <xubuntu938> hello what utility should i use to put xubuntu on usb?
[13:21] <frogman1984> xubuntu938, http://www.linuxliveusb.com/          use LiveCD iso
[13:53] <xubuntu601> hello.  i've had to revert to 3.2.0-32-generic from 3.2.0-33-generic due to crashes.  anyone else having this issue on 12.04?
[13:54] <kevin89> xubuntu601: Nope
[13:56] <xubuntu601> probably my ancient hardware then.  I'll look into it.
[16:38] <xubuntu274> do i ask my question now?
[16:40] <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
[16:41] <xubuntu274> issue is i cannot play mp3's etc. or dvd's and cannot install flash
[16:41] <xubuntu274> am a rank amateur
[16:45] <bazhang> install xubuntu-restricted-extras xubuntu274
[16:47] <xubuntu274> so i type "install xubuntu-restricted-extras"?
[16:48] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install packagename
[16:50] <xubuntu274> do i know what "packagename" is, or is that standing in for a name i should know?
[16:51] <bazhang> xubuntu-restricted-extras
[16:52] <xubuntu274> so, "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras"?
[16:52] <bazhang> correct
[16:53] <xubuntu274> okay. it's doing something.
[17:01] <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
[17:02] <xubuntu274> i press "enter" for "ok" but nothing happens
[17:07] <bazhang> xubuntu274, tab to it
[17:08] <bazhang> ie hit the <tab> key
[17:08] <xubuntu274> LOL! thanks.
[17:08] <bazhang> :)
[17:15] <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.
[17:16] <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
[17:20] <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
[17:22] <xubuntu274> you mean "sudo apt-get" etc or "run this action now"?
[17:22] <bazhang> sudo apt-get
[17:24] <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"?
[17:25] <bazhang> yes
[17:26] <xubuntu274> okay ... so is that simply "apt-get autoremove" or do i include the packagename(s), eg., linux-headers-3.2.0-29-generic
[17:27] <bazhang> simply that
[17:27] <xubuntu274> sudo  apt-get autoremove?
[17:27] <bazhang> yes
[17:29] <xubuntu274> okay. final test should be try to play some music and video.
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <xubuntu274> thanks for all your help, bazhang. all seems well.
[17:33] <xubuntu274> i'll definitely bookmark this page.
[17:33] <bazhang> np
[17:33] <bazhang> try a dvd now
[17:34] <xubuntu274> oh yeah. good idea. una momenta.
[17:38] <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."
[17:40] <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?
[17:42] <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
[17:43] <bazhang> http://packages.medibuntu.org/precise/libdvdcss2.html  <---- xubuntu274
[17:44] <quant> i did but i had to sudo thunar to delete the files
[17:44] <bazhang> quant, thats never the way to remove packages
[17:45] <quant> there was no other way to remove them that I could see
[17:45] <bazhang> with the package manager
[17:46] <bazhang> randomly removing packages like you did is incredibly bad
[17:47] <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
[17:48] <bazhang> quant, they take up next to zero space. why not leave them be in the first place
[17:49] <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?
[17:50] <bazhang> xubuntu274, are you on 64bit or 32bit
[17:50] <quant> more to the ponit how would you remove them?
[17:51] <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.
[17:52] <bazhang> xubuntu274, what does uname -a say in the terminal
[17:53] <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
[17:54] <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
[17:55] <xubuntu274> sorry, i want to be sure here: click on the i386?
[17:55] <bazhang> yep
[17:56] <xubuntu274> save file or open with ??
[17:57] <bazhang> open with
[17:57] <xubuntu274> open with what? or just okay, open?
[17:58] <bazhang> does it not offer something to open with?
[17:59] <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
[18:00] <bazhang> ok. so save to Desktop, or somewhere in your home folder that you can easily find it
[18:01] <xubuntu274> done.
[18:02] <bazhang> now go to that deb, and right click, does it offer something to open it with?
[18:04] <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
[18:06] <xubuntu274> installing ...
[18:07] <xubuntu274> installed. try playing the DVD?
[18:07] <bazhang> close mplayer or the like?
[18:08] <xubuntu274> yes, i've closed parole.
[18:08] <bazhang> ok
[18:08] <bazhang> so try !
[18:08] <xubuntu274> trying ...
[18:09] <xubuntu274> you have incredible patience, bazhang. all is well. kudos.
[18:10] <bazhang> xubuntu274, what about flash in firefox or other browser
[18:10] <xubuntu274> yes. flash. i'm on it.
[18:14] <mrfree> hi all. 12.10 livecd works like a charm but when installed xubuntu 12.10 doesn't start on my Latitude (intel video card)
[18:15] <mrfree> splash doesn't appear and... only a black screen
[18:15] <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.
[18:16] <bazhang> xubuntu274, so all good?
[18:16] <bazhang> mp3, dvd, flash?
[18:17] <xubuntu274> all good. thanks a mill! all. mp3,4, dvd, flash. anything  else i haven't tried doesn't work? i know where to go. this in itself is priceless. thx again.
[18:18] <bazhang> hehe
[18:18] <xubuntu274> sayonara and down the road motors, as they say in new mexico
[18:18] <bazhang> :)
[18:54] <quant> bazhang: u still there?
[18:58] <quant> tools > Add-Ons > Languages > More --> points to http://translate.org.za/content/view/15/31/lang,en/ <--Unable to connect
[18:59] <holstein> quant: are you online with that machine?
[18:59] <quant> yes
[18:59] <holstein> quant: that link doesnt do anything
[18:59] <holstein> quant: what are you trying to do?
[19:00] <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
[19:00] <bazhang> mine doesnt
[19:00] <holstein> misconfiguration? bad iso download? interrupted upate? bug...
[19:01] <quant> i'm AU
[19:01] <Unit193> Could have just misdetected where you lived.
[19:01] <quant> always loads be default
[19:02] <bazhang> its not default on my firefox
[19:02] <quant> has been that way since 10.10
[19:02] <bazhang> odd
[19:03] <bazhang> those are always removed when the installation finishes up here
[19:03] <bazhang> ie the excess language packs
[19:05] <Unit193> quant: You can remove it, but where does http://geoip.ubuntu.com/lookup say you are?
[19:05] <quant> and the only way i have been able to remove is sudo thunar delete /usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions/langpack-en-ZA@firefox.mozilla.org.xpi or /usr/lib/firefox/distribution/searchplugins/locale/en-ZA

[19:18] <quant> Settings Manager > Language Support > Install/Remove Language... Does not uninstall
[19:23] <Overand> (I'm a fairly advanced user - ubuntu, debian, arch, RHEL, etc.)  I'm looking to have an *ubuntu system with XFCE, Gnome, and possibly KDE and LXDE.  Which version should I install first?  Should I start with ubuntu, then install the xubuntu-desktop package or whatever's current, or vice-versa, or what?
[19:26] <holstein> Overand: i might look at http://www.hybryde.org/ ,though its not offically supported of course
[19:27] <holstein> Overand: i started with ubuntu, though i have started with xubuntu... you just need to be careful with the *buntu-desktop packages as they might want to remove the other ones
[19:28] <SkippersBoss> holstein, only when autoremove has been added
[19:28] <quant> holstein: Any ideas?
[19:29] <holstein> SkippersBoss: we'll see.. i have had them try removing each other
[19:29] <SkippersBoss> They will suggest it. That cannot be helped
[19:29] <holstein> quant: i would just try and localize it as you need
[19:30] <holstein> SkippersBoss: it wasnt a loose suggestion. it was more like "ubuntu-desktop gnome...etc are going to be removed", and were
[19:30] <quant> have allready dun that from the start
[19:30] <holstein> i only mention as something to be aware of Overand .. just read the list of what is going to be changed
[19:30] <holstein> quant: that?
[19:31] <quant> set up my locale
[19:31] <holstein> quant: so you are trying to emplement a language change in firefox? have you taken your .config file out of the equation? maybe remove it, or try as a new user
[19:32] <quant> mmm  tnks.
[19:45] <xubuntu623> hi there
[19:45] <xubuntu623> ;d
[19:45] <xubuntu623> how to get involved to xfce ?
[19:45] <xubuntu623> oh Im dumb
[19:45] <xubuntu623> :D
[20:17] <Guest28145> I'm testing voyager on live-usb
[20:18] <Guest28145> when i go to software center it doesn't let me dl and install anything.
[20:18] <TheSheep> what is voyager?
[20:19] <TheSheep> what is "dl"?
[20:19] <Guest28145> voyager is xubuntu
[20:19] <Guest28145> dl=dwonload
[20:19] <TheSheep> Guest28145: what?
[20:19] <holstein> i dont think voyager is xubuntu
[20:19] <holstein> i find sometimes you can install with live systems and sometimes maybe there isnt enough room
[20:20] <holstein> if its a kernel or something that requires a reboot, of course you cant
[20:20] <Guest28145> http://voyager.legtux.org/
[20:20] <knome> Guest28145, voyager isn't xubuntu
[20:20] <TheSheep> Guest28145: if voyager is another distribution based on xubuntu, then maybe go to *their* channel and ask *them* what they broke in it
[20:20] <Guest28145> yes, voyager is xubuntu
[20:21] <TheSheep> we don't support it here
[20:21] <knome> Guest28145, no, it's not, and you're arguing with the wrong people :)
[20:21] <holstein> Guest28145: voyager could be using XFCE
[20:21] <knome> holstein, what TheSheep said ^
[20:21] <Guest28145> no, voyager is definitely xubuntu - look at the link
[20:22] <knome> Guest28145, i'm the xubuntu project lead and i know we didn't create voyager.
[20:22] <knome> Guest28145, voyager is not supported.
[20:22] <Guest28145> its just someones personalized xubuntu, i.e. xubuntu+favourite apps/themes
[20:22] <holstein> its based on xubuntu.. xubuntu is xubuntu
[20:23] <Guest28145> why do you say its based on xubuntu? It is xubuntu just different default setup in terms of apps and themes
 found it I think /etc/menu-methods/ lang.h
[20:23] <TheSheep> Guest28145: on xubuntu there is no such problem as the one you describe, so it must be something that they changed, you just have to ask them, we have no idea what it might be
[20:27] <quant> would you look please, tnks
[20:30] <quant> do i need to add au to:  function sections_translations()="ar:ast:be: etc.
[20:31] <quant> in  /etc/menu-methods/ lang.h
[20:32] <holstein> quant: have you seen http://askubuntu.com/questions/63724/how-do-i-start-firefox-in-another-language-than-the-default ?
[20:34] <quant> I don't want to start firefox in another language, I want to start ff in the langiage that I installed xubuntu in
[20:35] <quant> do you understand
[20:35] <holstein> quant: sure.. i would change it though, if its incorrect.. just change it to the one you want
[20:36] <quant> and how would YOU remove the other lang that the xubuntu install script keeps Incorrectly installing?
[20:38] <quant> as the only way i was able to remove it was: sudo thunar delete /usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions/langpack-en-ZA@firefox.mozilla.org.xpi and /usr/lib/firefox/distribution/searchplugins/locale/en-ZA
[20:39] <quant> which every one tells me is the wroungway
[20:40] <quant> If you don't know then just say so OK?
[20:41] <quant> I have been waiting since about 4:30am for a promised answer, now 6:41am
[20:42] <TheSheep> quant: who are you talking to?
 quant, are you in a rush? I will try , once I have seen to xubuntu274 's issue
[20:43] <quant> I was hopeing to get some xubuntu support
[20:45] <quant> So, no support?
[20:46] <TheSheep> !patience
[20:47] <quant> have searched
[20:47] <TheSheep> quant: we are all just other users, like you, we are not all-knowing and we don't keep the information from you maliciously
[20:48] <quant> been waiting for hours
[20:48] <TheSheep> quant: also, nobody will tell you "we don't know", because nobody knows if someone else on the channel knows
[20:48] <quant> thank you and good night!
[21:30] <partycola> hey people, does anyone know how to show labels only on windows buttons?
