| JainAmber | Hello | 00:26 |
| JainAmber | How long are Xubuntu normal (e.g. 12.10) and LTS (e.g. 12.04) releases supported? | 00:34 |
| JainAmber | Ok, Xubuntu LTS releases are supported for 3 years (source: wikipedia) | 00:37 |
| JainAmber | and 12.10 will be supported for 18 months... | 00:38 |
| JainAmber | Nevermind my OP now. Thanks! | 00:38 |

| zgnuu | How can I install fonts in Xubuntu? | 04:45 |
| holstein | zgnuu: i just put them over in the /fonts directory.. /usr/share/fonts | 04:46 |
| zgnuu | drag and drop? | 04:46 |
| holstein | zgnuu: if you want to run a filemanger as sudo, you can drag and drop | 04:47 |
| holstein | i open a terminal and sudo mv or sudo cp them | 04:47 |
| zgnuu | how can I run filemanager as sudo? | 04:47 |
| zgnuu | sudo filemanager? | 04:47 |
| holstein | zgnuu: you should be *very* careful as root.. if you want to do say "gksudo thunar" | 04:47 |
| holstein | you can really do some damage like that | 04:48 |
| holstein | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts | 04:49 |
| zgnuu | so I dragged and drop terminus into usr/share/fonts | 04:49 |
| zgnuu | but when I went into settings > fonts, Icouldn't find it there | 04:49 |
| holstein | zgnuu: if you put a font in there that can be used, it will be used | 04:49 |
| holstein | zgnuu: i would expect to restart at least the application you are looking for the fonts from | 04:50 |
| Chad__ | To make the system aware of the new fonts, type "fc-cache -f -v" | 04:50 |
| holstein | zgnuu: there at links to fonts that will certainly work at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts | 04:50 |
| zgnuu | still nothing after fc-cache -f -v | 04:51 |
| zgnuu | terminus is a bitmap font and I've used it before in ubuntu 12.04 | 04:51 |
| holstein | zgnuu: i would try with the known good ones.. xubuntu *is* ubuntu, so when you get a font that can be used, it'll be used | 04:52 |
| zgnuu | nvm apt-get install xfonts-terminus worked | 04:55 |
| zgnuu | thank you both | 04:58 |
| holstein | cheers! | 05:00 |
| zgnuu | is it possible to enable font smoothing in xubuntu? | 05:08 |
| holstein | zgnuu: its all open, so in theory, everything is possible.. are you talking about on the screen? | 05:09 |
| zgnuu | errr, i'm not sure, but maybe through a graphical interface? | 05:10 |
| holstein | zgnuu: what fonts? the ones you see in general on the screen? printed out? in a certain app? on the desktop? | 05:13 |
| zgnuu | throughout xubuntu | 05:13 |
| zgnuu | everything | 05:13 |
| holstein | me and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1899016 suggest Settings->Settings Manager->Appearance->Fonts or somewhere like that... | 05:14 |
| zgnuu | there's no option for font smoothing there | 05:16 |
| holstein | zgnuu: i would play around with the options that are there, and dont assume to see the term "smoothing" | 05:17 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/115645/how-to-change-default-fonts-in-xubuntu should look something like that... anti aliasing for example | 05:19 |

| zgnuu | where would I add themes for the window manager? | 05:53 |
| zgnuu | and would they be called XFCE themes or GTK themes? | 05:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | !themes | 05:58 |
| ubottu | To change your theme in Xubuntu, go to Settings Manager » Appearance (GTK+ theme) or Settings Manager » Window Manager (xfwm4 theme) to change the theme - find more themes at http://xfce-look.org/ or http://gnome-look.org/ (for GTK+ themes) | 05:58 |
| zgnuu | if I wanted to add more xfwm4 themes, would I put them in usr/share/xfwm4 ? | 06:04 |
| zgnuu | assuming that archey says that my window manager is xfwm? | 06:04 |
| well_laid_lawn | zgnuu: there or in ~/.themes | 06:10 |
| zgnuu | I've added the theme that I want, but I don't see them when I right click > applications > settings > settings manager > window manager | 06:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | where did you add it? | 06:13 |
| zgnuu | both ~/.themes | 06:13 |
| zgnuu | and user/share/xfwm4 | 06:14 |
| well_laid_lawn | did you unpack it? | 06:14 |
| zgnuu | like "unrar" it? | 06:14 |
| zgnuu | err extract I mena | 06:14 |
| well_laid_lawn | yep | 06:14 |
| zgnuu | yeah | 06:14 |
| zgnuu | i mean | 06:15 |
| zgnuu | when I go into .themes, I see only 1 folder: coldsteel | 06:15 |
| zgnuu | when I go into that folder, it's mostl all xpm files | 06:15 |
| well_laid_lawn | see if this helps - http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/install_new_themes | 06:18 |
| well_laid_lawn | I hardly mess with themes | 06:18 |
| zgnuu | ooh I got it | 06:21 |

| metap0d | Hi everyone, is there a guide for Xubuntu to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers? On Ubuntu there is a restricted drivers dialog but I don't see that with Xubuntu | 11:40 |
| metap0d | I tried googling and surprisingly found no tutorial or resource | 11:41 |
| baizon | metap0d: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 11:43 |
| metap0d | baizon, I visited this page previously ... I don't have the additional drivers dialog in Xubuntu to follow with | 11:44 |
| knome | metap0d, which xubuntu version? | 11:45 |
| metap0d | Xubuntu 12.10, 64 bit | 11:45 |
| knome | metap0d, the additional drivers -dialog is under "software sources" from 12.10 | 11:46 |
| metap0d | I've found a 'current driver' binary package in the software centre, | 11:46 |
| metap0d | ah | 11:46 |

| iFire | Is it anyone here who can help me? GRUB won | 18:33 |
| iFire | 't show on startup, ASUS k55vm is my pc <3 | 18:34 |
| Unit193 | iFire: Did it used to in this install, or is this something other than pressing "Shift" while booting? | 18:35 |
| iFire | I can reinstall it, and try to hold shift :) | 18:35 |
| iFire | I used a liveCD, and installed it in a unlocated partition | 18:35 |
| iFire | And made a 1GB partition to swift, and 1GB to bootloader.. Do you think it'll boot if I hold shift? | 18:36 |
| kgb | meh could've just fixed his apt-get | 18:36 |
| kgb | oops | 18:36 |
| zgnuu | Is it possible to make the XFCE panel stop showing the icons in the window buttons panel? | 18:37 |
| iFire | (It doesn't boot when xubuntu say: Restart to use xubuntu") | 18:37 |
| zgnuu | so just the text... | 18:37 |
| kgb | probably | 18:37 |
| iFire | what? No icons, like the firefox icon? | 18:37 |
| zgnuu | ye | 18:37 |
| iFire | hmmm, i dunno, I may look out for the answer! | 18:38 |
| iFire | Brb, I'll resinstall xubuntu for the 5th time :( | 18:38 |
| Zelouille | iFire: do you have another OS on the disk ? | 18:39 |
| kgb | (had absolutely no problems using auto-partitioning in the empty space dualboot win, 1 of the reasons i stuck with (x)ubuntu) | 18:42 |
| kgb | if other distros can't even make their installer to the right thing.. what's the use for them. ;) | 18:42 |
| kgb | s/to/do | 18:43 |
| qasim | hi | 18:50 |
| qasim | i want to uninstall skype beta 2.0 and reinstall latest version of skype..help please | 18:52 |
| kgb | qasim: from the skype website.. if you want the newest version - there's a .deb | 18:52 |
| Unit193 | Why not just get it from the partner repo? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype | 18:53 |
| qasim | i need termianl command to install second how to uninstall previous version? | 18:53 |
| qasim | you guys are talking something beyond my comprehension level... im new to linx :( | 18:54 |
| kgb | just check that link, it's simple | 18:55 |
| qasim | okay | 18:55 |
| kgb | 'After this operation, 149 MB of additional disk space will be used.' so it might take a while :) | 18:55 |
| kgb | qasim: 2 commands, where it says 'Installing Skype' | 18:56 |
| qasim | that link contains info about installing skype..but there isn't anything about ininstallation process | 18:57 |
| qasim | uninstallation* | 18:57 |
| kgb | sudo apt-get purge skype, or from the software center | 18:57 |
| qasim | okay | 18:57 |
| qasim | let me see | 18:57 |
| kgb | err qasim don't purge if you have settings already | 18:57 |
| kgb | just uninstall from the software center | 18:58 |
| qasim | erm | 18:58 |
| kgb | sry about that :S | 18:58 |
| qasim | i have older version of skype...i can't really do voice chat through it so im trying newest version | 18:58 |
| kgb | but you should be able to just upgrade it I THINK | 18:58 |
| qasim | whats the difference b/w purging and uninstalling through software centre? | 18:59 |
| kgb | after adding the partner repo, second command: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 18:59 |
| kgb | purging should remove everything related to that package | 19:00 |
| qasim | oh rite | 19:00 |
| kgb | settings included | 19:00 |
| qasim | i think purging would be fin e then | 19:00 |
| kgb | :) yeah, maybe better | 19:00 |
| qasim | because with my present settings i am unable to voice chat | 19:00 |
| qasim | ok let me try | 19:00 |
| kgb | kk | 19:01 |
| kgb | qasim: if you want, | 19:01 |
| qasim | purged | 19:02 |
| kgb | check if it's in settings manager, session and startup and remove any skype from there; then alt+f4 logout to end your session and reboot | 19:02 |
| kgb | ah ok :) | 19:02 |
| qasim | now how to add partner repos? | 19:02 |
| kgb | sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" like in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype | 19:02 |
| qasim | ty | 19:03 |
| kgb | then just sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype | 19:03 |
| jondot1 | hey guys. im thinking about replacing my default ubuntu with xubuntu. my machine is mainly used for development - can anyone tell me if this is wise? | 19:05 |
| qasim | while its being installed, would i require anything else to configure its setting or something? | 19:05 |
| kgb | should be ok just installing from the repo | 19:06 |
| kgb | iirc | 19:06 |
| qasim | iirc? | 19:06 |
| kgb | if i recall correctly :) | 19:07 |
| qasim | oh kool | 19:07 |
| qasim | uptill now..the commands you told me are working well... so im sure yhou recalled correctly:) | 19:08 |
| kgb | well i mean for voice calls | 19:08 |
| kgb | :s | 19:08 |
| qasim | oh ok lol | 19:09 |
| kgb | could be something weird with your sound and you didn't need the new ver at all.. that sort of thing :f | 19:10 |
| qasim | recording goes well with sound recorder..so its seemingly the skype issue | 19:11 |
| kgb | hopefully | 19:11 |
| kgb | :) | 19:11 |
| kgb | jondot1: it's about 50% imo, xfce than gnome/unity and all that bloat :$ | 19:12 |

| iFire | How to fic it? | 19:34 |

| Unit193 | Did you get the 64bit version of Xubuntu? | 19:36 |
| Unit193 | !uefi | 19:36 |

For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 19:36 |
| iFire | hmmh, maybe it's the "ASUS" logo at startup that is the UEFI? It's a normal BIOS menu.. But how to fix? (It's the 64bit, yeah) | 19:38 |
| iFire | I can't get the grub bootloader :0¨ | 19:38 |

| qasim | yeah a gui for writing codes | 20:36 |
| holstein | qasim: im no developer, but a compiler is just that... not a GUI | 20:36 |
| holstein | qasim: "writing codes" doesnt require a GUI | 20:36 |
| qasim | yeah but its always good to write codes through a gui | 20:37 |
| holstein | qasim: good is a matter of opinion | 20:38 |
| holstein | qasim: what are you trying to do? | 20:38 |
| qasim | i have c++ as my subj as well...so i have to write codes and submit..therefore i need a compiler that works fine with xubuntu plus a GUI | 20:39 |
| holstein | qasim: build essentials is a compiler.. gedit is a GUI | 20:40 |

| BrainPaid | hello mans, I need some help about PuTTY SSH Client | 21:10 |
| holstein | qasim: open a termina... i new one.. copy this without the quotes... "sudo apt-get update" and paste that in there... press the enter key and use pastebin to show me that output | 21:17 |
| qasim | ok | 21:17 |
| qasim | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1455681/ | 21:20 |
| qasim | holstein, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1455681/ | 21:20 |
| holstein | qasim: i dont see any errors there.. i might go ahead and run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 21:20 |
| qasim | okay | 21:21 |
| holstein | then, you can try to install build-essential from whatever package manger you choose | 21:21 |
| qasim | terminal says | 21:22 |
| qasim | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 21:22 |
| holstein | qasim: ok.. so try installing build-essential | 21:22 |
| qasim | okay | 21:22 |
| qasim | holstein, same old error is still there | 21:23 |
| holstein | qasim: i used to see that message in 10.04 | 21:23 |
| qasim | hmm | 21:23 |
| holstein | qasim: you are not really looking for build essential anyway.. | 21:23 |
| qasim | yeah | 21:23 |
| holstein | qasim: go ahead and try one of the GUI's i linked above.. | 21:23 |
| qasim | okay | 21:24 |
| holstein | at some point, you will need to pull in build-essential though | 21:24 |
| qasim | maybe, if i couldnt find any substitute | 21:25 |
| holstein | qasim: there a *so* many.. just look in the package manager of your choice and start randomly testing them | 21:26 |
| qasim | hmm right | 21:26 |
| holstein | qasim: i fired up kdevelop once.. the others were codeblocks and semething else, but there a lots of them | 21:26 |
| qasim | hmm yeah | 21:27 |
| holstein | you can always use something online like a more robust version of http://codepad.org/ | 21:27 |
| holstein | or try using the software you are familiar with in WINE.. or in windows in VM | 21:28 |
| qasim | holstein, will i be able to run dev compiler through wine? | 21:33 |
| holstein | qasim: i dont maintain either, so i cant say.. i can say, theres nothing about linux or wine that prevents dev compiler from being written to run on either | 21:34 |
| qasim | well | 21:34 |
| holstein | qasim: looks good at wineHQ http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1178 | 21:34 |
| qasim | wine was unable to run office when i tried last time..thats why i asked.... | 21:35 |
| holstein | sure.. office is the same | 21:35 |
| qasim | ms office i meant* | 21:35 |
| holstein | qasim: nothing prevents MS from creating office for either linux or to be wine compatible.. but i digress | 21:39 |
| holstein | qasim: try the software you know in wine, since it gets such a great rating.. i gotta run.. good luck | 21:40 |
| qasim | hope so | 21:40 |
