[05:56] <phunyguy> Hey folks, I am on the xubuntu livecd... I thought at one time there was an envelope for online account notifications in this distro?
[08:07] <Name141> Hello, I'm using a live Xubuntu after I got 'disk read error' while trying to boot to the hard drive.. It shows up in BIOS and SATA (well most of the time, sometimes it doesn't even show there).  And it's not showing in the live OS with fdisk -l , and when I go to the installer it doesn't show up.. I guess the drive is toasted? is there any other tests I might try using the living OS ?
[08:07] <Name141> er live os
[08:09] <Name141> ..I guess this might not actually be a xubuntu question
[08:10] <Unit193> Try the boot tool of the hard drive maker, I know seagate has seatools.
[08:10] <Name141> Western digital's tools are probably windows only
[08:11] <Name141> the funny thing is it did this last week, and I fixed the boot.. and it ran till the power went out (breaker blew)
[08:11] <Name141> now it did it again, but now it wont let me fix the boot
[08:11] <Name141> or show up in installs
[08:11] <Name141> I think it probably was going out, then went out ?
[10:10] <webmind> trying to install xubuntu, but I keep getting errors like file X is corrupt
[10:10] <webmind> usb stick is fine
[10:10] <webmind> no errors
[10:10] <webmind> I've tried re-installing the usbstick, no problem
[10:10] <webmind> well, the problem remains
[10:11] <baizon> webmind: what FS is installed there?
[10:11] <frogman1984> very extrange... I did it 3 days ago and no problems
[10:11] <frogman1984> i used usb live
[10:12] <frogman1984> Linux live usb creator
[10:12] <webmind> baizon, vfat
[10:12] <baizon> webmind: try FAT32
[10:12] <webmind> frogman1984, I use usb-creator-gtk
[10:13] <webmind> baizon, that is fat32
[10:14] <baizon> your right
[10:15] <webmind> I'll try reformating and creating once more...
[10:15] <webmind> already did the alternative install, couldn't get the normal one to boot
[10:16] <gokk> cant get dvd working...
[10:17] <gokk> followed this guide http://www.anthonynotes.com/2012/05/04/anthonys-xubuntu-12-04-post-installation-guide/
[10:19] <gokk> xubuntu doesnt even detect that  there is anything in the dvd tray at all...
[10:19] <gokk> what to do?
[10:25] <gokk> others seem to have had same problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/76860/cd-dvd-drive-not-mounted-when-inserted-with-disc-of-any-kind
[10:38] <gokk> How to get dvd tray working?
[10:44] <webmind> ok, now it works...
[10:44] <webmind> wow
[10:45] <webmind> the moment I pressed enter, the installation failed...
[10:45] <webmind> retry...
[10:47] <webmind> it fails to get xubuntu-docs from the "cd"
[10:47] <webmind> hash sum mismatch
[10:48] <webmind> to be honest, I couldn't care less about that package
[10:48] <webmind> and it should be able to get it from the internet
[10:48] <webmind> it has an internet connection
[10:48] <koegs> webmind: 1. after download check the md5sum, 2. do a memtest on your pc
[10:48] <webmind> memtest was fine
[10:49] <webmind> but each time I reinstall the usb stick, the error is at a different location
[10:49] <koegs> how long did it run? is the usb-stick ok?
[10:49] <webmind> 4b5df913769f11a1800d927ae8081c59  xubuntu-12.04.1-alternate-i386.iso
[10:49] <webmind> usb stick gives no error
[10:49] <webmind> I've checked it 3 times
[10:51] <koegs> try a different one
[10:52] <webmind> yeah, I'm running out of usb sticks
[10:52] <webmind> I'm now trying to fix it by hand
[10:52] <webmind> gave it an online repo
[10:52] <koegs> still i think something with the hardware of your PC is wrong :)
[10:52] <webmind> instead of usb
[10:52] <webmind> could be
[10:59] <gokk> maybe waltinator on that ask ubuntu thing will find a solution eventually
[11:22] <webmind> ok, installed.
[11:30] <webmind> maybe an idea though, to fall back on installation from the internet
[11:53] <Ankhwatcher> Is there a vnc client in Xubuntu by default? If not, any suggestions?
[12:51] <xubuntu405> Hello.  i'm curious.  When did Skype begin updating through the repositories?
[14:41] <c2tarun> Hi friends, I have a question I looked over google but didn't get any satisfactory answer. Is XFCE derived from KDE?
[14:42] <TheSheep> c2tarun: it is not
[14:42] <TheSheep> c2tarun: it's based on gtk2, which is the same gui toolkit that gnome 2 was based on
[14:42] <GridCube> how do i set up a cups printer on wine, their site says: Configuring printers with Wine is as simple as making sure your CUPS configuration works
[14:43] <GridCube> what does that mean?
[14:43] <c2tarun> TheSheep, ohh... so development in Xubuntu is more similar to Ubuntu then Kubuntu :) thanks
[14:43] <TheSheep> c2tarun: I don't think it affects development process that much
[14:43] <GridCube> !info cups-pdf
[14:44] <GridCube> mmmkay
[14:44] <c2tarun> TheSheep, yeah, it wont affect backend but slight difference will be in GUI coding. am I right?
[14:49] <c2tarun> anyone using flux on Xubuntu?
[14:49] <c2tarun> sorry F.lux

[14:59] <veronika> Hi there. I've noticed that my boot time is significlyy longer that with any other system, including windows7, So I've checked a few logs and I found some interesting stuff: I've checked for fail and error with dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1379604/ As you can see there is omething terribly wrong, and this is my boot.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1379606/
[14:59] <c2tarun> LuisFonseca, http://askubuntu.com/questions/124292/what-is-the-correct-way-to-install-ati-catalyst-video-drivers-fglrx/126513#126513
[14:59] <veronika> Could the reason for a LONG boot be that it checks a disk each time I start computer? In that case how do I fix this?
[14:59] <c2tarun> LuisFonseca, I am also using ATI HD 5000 graphic card, try the link I posted, might work in your case.
[15:00] <LuisFonseca> thanks
[15:00] <LuisFonseca> :)
[15:00] <LuisFonseca> ever say anything if it does not you?

[15:01] <baizon> LuisFonseca: sudo?
[15:01] <c2tarun> LuisFonseca, dont worry
[15:02] <c2tarun> LuisFonseca, I think sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx* will also do
[15:02] <LuisFonseca> luis@luis-P5Q-E:~$ sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh  sh: 0: Can't open /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh

[15:09] <c2tarun> LuisFonseca, did you executed what I wrote above?
[15:10] <LuisFonseca> yes
[15:10] <LuisFonseca> :)
[15:10] <c2tarun> now you can run sudo apt-get autoremove
[15:10] <veronika> baizon: in Xfce where is this?
[15:10] <veronika> baizon: panel?
[15:10] <baizon> veronika: there is no dash for xfce
[15:10] <c2tarun> baizon, yeh, where is dash in Xubuntu?
[15:10] <veronika> so I can ditch this
[15:11] <baizon> but other programms may use it
[15:11] <baizon> yeah if your not using it
[15:11] <LuisFonseca> error
[15:11] <baizon> i use synapse, so i need it :)

[15:11] <baizon> veronika: cant say
[15:11] <veronika> hm ok. I'll jsut test it and see what happens
[15:11] <baizon> veronika: look at dependencies when you uninstall it
[15:11] <veronika> baizon: ok tnx.
[15:11] <baizon> np
[15:12] <veronika> Hm what about checking disks each time I power up computer?
[15:12] <c2tarun> veronika, each time O_O
[15:12] <LuisFonseca> is already making then?
[15:12] <veronika> there  has to be something wwrong with this, the pastebinit link of log/boot.log
[15:12] <veronika> c2tarun: yes..
[15:13] <veronika> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1379634/
[15:13] <veronika> first two lines
[15:13] <c2tarun> LuisFonseca, did it work?
[15:13] <veronika> every time I check this boot.log I see those two lines inthere
[15:13] <LuisFonseca> already removed and now what?
[15:13] <LuisFonseca> yes
[15:13] <veronika> and I *think* this file is replaced every time computer boots? Correct me if I'm wrong
[15:13] <c2tarun> LuisFonseca, follow the page ;)
[15:14] <c2tarun> veronika, I dont think so, file must get appended, replacing it doesn't make much sense.
[15:15] <veronika> I guess I'll have to digg into fsck man page then
[15:15] <veronika> to see when was the last time cleaned
[15:15] <veronika> I love man ..not
[15:20] <veronika> can someone please checkc dumpe2fs -h /dev/diskname ? when I do it for my / I get this: Maximum mount count:      -1
[15:22] <veronika> Ok it didn't check today but still this output is interesting: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1379663/
[15:22] <veronika> Can someone please paste his/her dumpe2fs -h /dev/diskname here?
[15:23] <veronika> Ubuntu will run fsck if mount count is equal or greater than maximum mount count, or if "next check after" is passed.
[15:23] <veronika> In my case, maximum moint count is -1
[15:23] <veronika> so this is extremely odd..

[15:54] <baizon> and update to the newest kernel please :)
[15:54] <LuisFonseca> as seen this friend?
[15:55] <LuisFonseca> how to do this friend?
[15:55] <baizon> open synaptic
[15:56] <LuisFonseca> yes
[15:56] <baizon> no, first run the update manager
[15:56] <baizon> and upgrade
[15:56] <LuisFonseca> ok
[15:57] <LuisFonseca> already now what?
[15:58] <baizon> check for updates
[15:58] <baizon> and install them
[15:58] <baizon> there should be a kernel update
[15:59] <LuisFonseca> already upgraded and now what?
[16:00] <baizon> check if the kernel headers are installed
[16:01] <LuisFonseca> how do I check this?
[16:02] <baizon> dpkg --get-selections | grep linux
[16:02] <baizon> and check for "headers"
[16:03] <LuisFonseca> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1379789/
[16:03] <baizon> ok, now go to software sources
[16:04] <baizon> there go to additional drivers
[16:04] <baizon> and check what is activated
[16:04] <LuisFonseca> where is it?
[16:04] <baizon> settings i think
[16:04] <baizon> or in the terminal run software-sources-gtk
[16:05] <LuisFonseca> luis @ luis-P5Q-E: ~ $ software-sources-gtk software-sources-gtk: command not found luis @ luis-P5Q-E: ~ $ sudo software-sources-gtk sudo: software-sources-gtk: command not found
[16:07] <baizon> LuisFonseca: you have to use more often "tab" ;)
[16:08] <baizon> sorry my bad, it is software-properties-gtk
[16:08] <LuisFonseca> im sorry
[16:09] <LuisFonseca> ok already now what?
[16:10] <baizon> go to the tab with drivers
[16:11] <LuisFonseca> yes
[16:11] <LuisFonseca> and now?
[16:11] <baizon> what is checked?
[16:11] <baizon> X.org or fglrx?
[16:12] <LuisFonseca> fglrx
[16:12] <baizon> hmm, well
[16:12] <baizon> then it should be installed
[16:13] <baizon> what does fglrxinfo gives back?
[16:13] <LuisFonseca> is installed?

[16:21] <LuisFonseca> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1379835/
[16:23] <baizon> LuisFonseca: go back to software-properties-gtk and change it to x.org
[16:23] <baizon> restart your pc
[16:23] <baizon> then check fglrx again
[16:24] <baizon> not fglrx-updates

[17:24] <pgib> ugh.. since upgrading to 12.10 my internet has been really slow.  Seems like it is DNS queries. There are two dnsmasq processes, one running as 'nobody' the other as 'dnsmasq' and they each take up around 80% CPU :-/
[18:40] <rokin>  hi everyone  is there a good tool to setup a Multi-Monitor , i'm using now ARandR but i'm not happy with the results
[18:43] <xubuntu921> hello all
[18:43] <xubuntu921> first install of xubuntu
[18:44] <tomatopotato> congrats
[18:44] <xubuntu921> does the video mode normally go all odd? or is that an issue with me?
[18:44] <tomatopotato> define odd
[18:44] <xubuntu921> basically the refresh has completely gone.
[18:45] <xubuntu921> so moving the installer window around has now made it all go grey.
[18:45] <tomatopotato> so.. you are still installing?
[18:45] <xubuntu921> its downloading updates during the install
[18:45] <xubuntu921> yup
[18:45] <tomatopotato> well
[18:45] <tomatopotato> might get better after install
[18:45] <tomatopotato> what gfx?
[18:45] <xubuntu921> I guess the installer is quite demanding.
[18:45] <xubuntu921> nvidia 6600 gt
[18:46] <tomatopotato> shouldnt be a problem
[18:46] <xubuntu921> amd 3800 64 processor
[18:46] <tomatopotato> what acpu and ram?
[18:46] <xubuntu921> 4gb ram
[18:46] <tomatopotato> should be more then sufficient
[18:46] <xubuntu921> if it continues then there might be something odd with the hardware.
[18:46] <tomatopotato> wait untill its finished and you restart
[18:46] <tomatopotato> doesnt have to be
[18:47] <tomatopotato> can be a driver issue
[18:47] <xubuntu921> true.
[18:47] <tomatopotato> for the gfx card
[18:47] <tomatopotato> but could be fixed also after the installation is finished
[18:47] <tomatopotato> of course after reboot to :)
[18:47] <xubuntu921> the motherboard has a USB issue in windows.
[18:48] <xubuntu921> I'm hoping its not in xubuntu too
[18:48] <tomatopotato> what kinda issue
[18:48] <xubuntu921> i.e. I can't plug my big HDD in as it causes a reboot
[18:48] <xubuntu921> not ideal
[18:48] <xubuntu921> its like it gets overwhelmed :(
[18:48] <tomatopotato> but saves the mouse movement lol
[18:48] <xubuntu921> silly bitch motherboard.
[18:49] <xubuntu921> yeh I can have tons of other USB things working.
[18:49] <xubuntu921> but as soon as it needs a bit more juice, pop
[18:49] <tomatopotato> juice huh
[18:49] <tomatopotato> maybe a self powered usb hub could have fixed your probs with windows
[18:49] <xubuntu921> have exactly that.
[18:50] <tomatopotato> ok...
[18:50] <xubuntu921> I have a hard drive caddy, then from that a USB to the big HDD
[18:50] <tomatopotato> then maybe it is couseing the problems
[18:50] <tomatopotato> that could be to
[18:50] <tomatopotato> anyway
[18:50] <xubuntu921> I could try one at a time to see which is worse.
[18:50] <tomatopotato> let it install
[18:50] <tomatopotato> and then reboot
[18:50] <tomatopotato>  and see what happens
[18:50] <xubuntu921> lets see if xu likes it :)
[18:50] <xubuntu921> I'm much happier in linux tbh
[18:51] <tomatopotato> who isnt
[18:51] <xubuntu921> bill gates
[18:51] <tomatopotato> just gaming is an issue
[18:51] <xubuntu921> steam linux soon here ;)
[18:51] <tomatopotato> since most games are mostly windows exclusive
[18:51] <tomatopotato> yeah well
[18:51] <xubuntu921> and tons of games are going to end up being browser based.
[18:51] <Azelphur> steam linux is already here, unofficially
[18:51] <xubuntu921> yeh
[18:51] <tomatopotato> we will see about that
[18:51] <Azelphur> you can use the beta
[18:52] <xubuntu921> can anyone sign up Azelphur ?
[18:52] <xubuntu921> or is it closed?
[18:52] <Azelphur> xubuntu921: it's closed beta with a bug so you can use it without an invite
[18:52] <tomatopotato> i think it was  close
[18:52] <xubuntu921> thought as much
[18:52] <xubuntu921> I was late to that partyy.
[18:52] <Azelphur> so, anyone can use it
[18:52] <xubuntu921> OH I re-read that
[18:52] <Azelphur> http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb
[18:52] <tomatopotato> whats the bug?
[18:53] <Azelphur> start it up as normal, it will tell you it's unauthorised, click ok so that steam closes
[18:53] <Azelphur> now in terminal run "steam steam://friends/"
[18:53] <Azelphur> it'll open up again bypassing the message, enjoy.
[18:53] <xubuntu921> sweet!
[18:53] <tomatopotato> aha
[18:53] <xubuntu921> I'm getting that going asap :)
[18:53] <xubuntu921> gah error
[18:53] <tomatopotato> hold the horses meanwhile lol
[18:54] <tomatopotato> what error?
[18:54] <xubuntu921> dependency is not satisfiable: multiarch-support
[18:54] <xubuntu921> although yeah I should probably actually install an OS first :P
[18:54] <tomatopotato> interesting
[18:54] <tomatopotato> was that a installer error?
[18:55] <tomatopotato> form the os installation?
[18:55] <xubuntu921> I got an error with steam :) not OS.
[18:55] <tomatopotato> ah
[18:55] <xubuntu921> :)
[18:55] <tomatopotato> thats why
[18:55] <xubuntu921> yeh :)
[18:55] <tomatopotato> like i said
[18:55] <xubuntu921> holding
[18:55] <xubuntu921> my
[18:55] <tomatopotato> hold the horses
[18:55] <xubuntu921> horses
[18:55] <xubuntu921> neiiigghhhh
[19:21] <fedcab> Hello, my laptop running xubuntu (which worked well when I installed it) now refuses to use the displays native resolution of 1280x800 pixel. randr also doesn't show the correct resolution. Xorg.0.log showed the resolution. Where can I get a little support on how to fix it?
[19:23] <baizon> fedcab: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[19:23] <GridCube> fedcab, you installed your drivers?
[19:24] <GridCube> if you want to go back to your default state, just go to /ext/X11 and delete the xorg.conf file, things should be fixed after a reboot
[19:25] <fedcab> @GridCube: honestly, I don't know. On my other machines I use ubuntu, where I usually find everything. Xubuntu is a little unfamiliar to me.
[19:26] <GridCube> fedcab, are you using 12.10?
[19:27] <fedcab> @gridcube: yes, and it doesn't work since I changed.
[19:28] <fedcab> @baizon: the first thing mentioned in your reference shows the use of xrandr which does not show the correct resolution.
[19:28] <GridCube> fedcab, go to the ubuntu software center and in the tab "additional drivers" check wich drivers are you using
[19:28] <baizon> fedcab: then your drivers are broken
[19:29] <baizon> you can try to reset the configuration, but like GridCube said check drivers first
[19:32] <mengine> good evening. so who is up and running with xubuntu 12.10 and actually has a nvidia gfx-card?
[19:36] <mengine> can anyone explain me how to get the current graphic card driver that is used? something like lshw -C display ?
[19:39] <fedcab> @GridCube: I don't even find tabs in the software center. I'm feeling pretty stupid now.
[19:39] <baizon> mengine: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/alt-nvidia-current-settings.1.html
[19:40] <baizon> fedcab: you need to open software-properties-gtk
[19:41] <mengine> baizon, installed it already with nvidia-current. tells me that x is not running with nvidia. then i ran nvidia-xconfig that was not able to find a xorg.conf. what?!
[19:42] <baizon> mengine: so check what package is installed, it will tell you the version
[19:42] <fedcab> @ Gridcube Btw: I'm using it in german. There are only drop downs named "all applications", "installed" ...
[19:43] <baizon> fedcab: open terminal and type "software-properties-gtk"
[19:43] <knome> mengine, xorg.conf is not used by default
[19:43] <baizon> then wait a few sec
[19:44] <mengine> knome, so how to get to the right drivers then?
[19:45] <mengine> knome, when i run lshw -C display i see output of driver=nvidia
[19:46] <mengine> baizon, should that nvidia-settings manager work actually?
[19:46] <mengine> damn how i hate that nvidia shit...
[19:47] <knome> mengine, can you check your attitude/language? thanks.
[19:48] <GridCube> mengine, do this: alt-f2 > gksu thunar >> go to /etc/X11/ and delete/rename xorg.conf, then reboot
[19:49] <fedcab> @baizon: there is only one additional driver there - for the wireless LAN.
[19:49] <mengine> knome, thanks for the advice... very helpful!
[19:50] <baizon> fedcab: what graphics card are you using?
[19:50] <mengine> GridCube, sure. will try. thank you!
[19:51] <GridCube> oh, i meant fedcab :/
[19:51] <GridCube> mengine, but that should give you generic drivers aswell
[19:51] <mengine> GridCube, should not speed up my opengl applications as well.
[19:52] <GridCube> it will send you back to generic drivers
[19:53] <fedcab> @baizon: how can I find out which driver is currently in use?
[19:53] <GridCube> fedcab, if you are using 12.10 it should be on the additional drivers tab of usc
[19:54] <mengine> fedcab, lshw -C display
[19:54] <knome> mengine, you're welcome. and i guarantee it's useful if you want to stay in the channel
[19:55] <fedcab> @GridCube, it isn't
[19:56] <mengine> knome, sure. like a boss! got any useful tips for the real problem i joined for? if it leads to a result, i left in no time... i promise!
[20:01] <fedcab> baizon, there is something called settings editor (edit xfconf settings) which shows two displays: default and the LVDS. The display settings (in the system settings) only show one display; unfortunately the wrong one. Is it possible that the xserver tries to apply the same settings to the internal display and the (unused) external VGA connection?
[20:04] <fedcab> baizon, how can I find out which driver is currently in use, lshw shows the graphics hardware (Radeon HD 3200)
[20:06] <baizon> fedcab: fglrxinfo
[20:07] <XxXNightstalkerX> Hello
[20:07] <XxXNightstalkerX> I have a problem
[20:07] <XxXNightstalkerX> anybody up to help?
[20:08] <fedcab> baizon, returns a BadRequest X error
[20:08] <baizon> fedcab: so your using the open source drivers
[20:10] <XxXNightstalkerX> Xubuntu only starts every second time.
[20:11] <baizon> XxXNightstalkerX: try that -> http://askubuntu.com/questions/128128/how-to-boot-without-nomodeset
[20:11] <XxXNightstalkerX> Sure. But what exactly does this do?
[20:11] <baizon> XxXNightstalkerX: your driver dont goes up
[20:11] <baizon> thats why it stays on black screen
[20:11] <baizon> this disables the drivers and the system will boot
[20:12] <XxXNightstalkerX> Will my drivers come back on?
[20:12] <baizon> XxXNightstalkerX: http://askubuntu.com/questions/207175/what-does-nomodeset-do
[20:13] <XxXNightstalkerX> Ah
[20:13] <XxXNightstalkerX> thanks.
[20:14] <baizon> np
[20:21] <XxXNightstalkerX> alright it starts now, but everything looks weird
[20:22] <baizon> XxXNightstalkerX: well your resolution is broken then :)
[20:23] <XxXNightstalkerX> The highest resolution it is giving me now is 1280 x 720
[20:23] <XxXNightstalkerX> My monitor is 1920 x 1080
[20:24] <baizon> XxXNightstalkerX: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12278210&postcount=5
[20:25] <baizon> if this doesnt work, disable the whole gfxmode and use terminal
[20:30] <fedcab> baizon, obviously, I did something to prevent the system from using non-free software. Now, I can't activate the installed AMD/ATI drivers. So I will probably have to reinstall....
[20:30] <baizon> fedcab: yes try it
[20:48] <XxXNightstalkerX> Yea, It doesnt work
[20:48] <baizon> then change it to console mode
[20:48] <XxXNightstalkerX> I'm going to take nomodeset off
[20:54] <XxXNightstalkerX> It isnt going back now
[20:55] <baizon> XxXNightstalkerX: sudo update-grub?
[20:55] <XxXNightstalkerX> Oh yea. derp.
[20:55] <XxXNightstalkerX> and how can I stop it from checking disc everytime I boot?
[21:06] <baizon> welcome back XxXNightstalkerX :)
[21:07] <XxXNightstalkerX> Thanks :P
[21:08] <XxXNightstalkerX> Still trying to figure it out
[21:13] <bynw> i have fresh install of xubuntu 12.04 LTS and the splash screen on boot does not display. also i dont get a grub menu on boot up either. my monitor gives me an error that it cannot display this video mode. in past versions and in others OSs i do get the splash screens on bootup
[21:13] <bynw> i would like to get them again
[21:26] <samer> I have an Acer Aspire One with AMD Dual Core 1.33 GHz processor
[21:27] <samer> is xubuntu my best bet?
[21:27] <samer> or should I choose a different distro?
[21:27] <knome> !best
[21:27] <samer> heh
[21:27] <knome> well, that's to say
[21:28] <knome> do you care more about being fast or user-friendly? and what exactly do you think that is "fast", "slow", "user-friendly" or "not user-friendly"
[21:30] <samer> I see how thats a difficult question to answer... I'm giving this laptop to my friend who is not very "techy" so user-friendliness is important..
[21:30] <knome> then you might want to try xubuntu for example and see if it feels smooth enough
[21:31] <knome> if you need something faster, you might want to test somethings like lubuntu
[21:32] <samer> interesting
[21:32] <samer> never heard of lubuntu
[21:32] <samer> thanks knome, thats the answer I was looking for
[21:33] <knome> no problem
[21:33] <knome> enjoy
[21:43] <Cordel^> i need help
[21:43] <Cordel^> technical and psychological
[21:43] <knome> !ask | Cordel^, for the first one:
[21:43] <knome> for the psychological help, you might want to contact a local professional
[21:43] <Cordel^> lol
[21:44] <Cordel^> are you guys robots
[21:44] <knome> the one with "bot" in her nick is, but i'm not
[21:44] <knome> ...even if some might say so
[21:45] <Cordel^> my unbuntu crahed
[21:45] <Cordel^> crashed
[21:46] <knome> if you need help with ubuntu, please ask #ubuntu
[21:47] <knome> this is the support channel for xubuntu
[21:47] <Cordel^> i am sure there is a difference
[21:47] <Cordel^> alwthough my education lacks
[21:48] <knome> there is major differences
[21:48] <Cordel^> what is the INITRAMFS prompt and how do i boot out of it?
[21:49] <well_laid_lawn> that's busybox and just ctrl+alt+del to reboot
[21:49] <Cordel^> but evertime i reboot
[21:49] <Cordel^> it goes to that prompt
[21:51] <well_laid_lawn> you'll have an error something like "can't find root device"
[21:51] <Cordel^> yes
[21:51] <well_laid_lawn> how you fix it depends on the actual error
[21:52] <well_laid_lawn> do you have an oldesr kernel to boot into?
[22:09] <bluesky> If I install xbuntu from a LiveCD into a USB flash drive, will the installation change my hard drive bootloader? My concern is that my system will try to boot from USB flash drive and not hard drive.
[22:10] <knome> bluesky, at the partitioning step, you can select where you install grub (the bootloader)
[22:10] <knome> bluesky, to be sure that's asked, use the "manual"/"other" option
[22:12] <bluesky> thanks Knome
[22:12] <knome> np
[22:20] <matthewh3> how do I find out how much disk space is left?
[22:21] <knome> matthewh3, in terminal, df -h
[22:21] <knome> or open thunar and look at the statusbar.
