[00:05] greeting! trying to determine which version to download for a netbook.... any help would be appreciated asus 1015px [00:07] xubuntu655, xubuntu 12.10 amd64 is my recommendation, you could use netboot to install it if it has not much ram [00:12] xubuntu655, it will work fine, just google what to do to help the ssd in ubuntu [00:12] excellent! thanks for the support.. off to install new SSD and boot 12.10 from SD or USB and see how it goes.... [01:07] I entered a command in terminal, startx-- -nolisten tcp and now when I try to login, I see a black screen saying something about the X window system and then get logged out [01:07] I never actually login, I just see the screen, then get back to the login screen. how can I fix this? [01:09] I've got a problem, when the screensaver starts when I'm in full screen mode (for example watching a movie), then when I move the mouse, the computer freezes with the whole screen in grey [01:09] every time it happens I've to restart the pc [04:21] Does anyone here know how to step by step set up the google android sdk? All I need are the google android drivers [04:24] donnie: i would eleborate on "all i need" but i would just follow a guide [04:25] Holstein. Tried the guides. The only thing I need from the sdk is the google drivers for usb. I do not need to write or code android programs [04:25] donnie: i just plug my phone in, and it works [04:26] holstein. Mines not that nice to play.. I have the ZTE Avail.. It doesn't come with usb support [04:30] donnie: what are you trying to do? it should show as a USB devic [04:30] e [04:31] holstein. It should do a lot of things but this phone does not. I have it connected right now. I have usb debugging turned on. Nothing shows up [04:32] donnie: it should show up as a hard drive or something.. look in the options [04:33] holstein. It does not show up as anything. It does nothing. Therefore I think I need to install the google android usb drivers [04:33] donnie: you shouldnt have to.. what about in lsusb ? [04:33] holstein. No idea. How would I check [04:34] donnie: i would open a terminal and type 'lsusb'.... feel free to pastebin that [04:34] I just found out howto root it. with the keypad... [04:36] donnie: i would try the android support channels for info on rooting your phone [04:36] holstein. I just rooted it I found out how. Now I have to find out if I can install aps from download to sd card since I'm between carriers [04:38] donnie: i would just pop into a proper support channel.. otherwise we could talk about it in the OT channel [04:38] holstein. I'm gonna. Thank you though for trying to help [05:07] I seem to have lots of [694827.656051] usb 1-5: reset high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd in the output of dmesg.

[10:19] huh question well i am installing xubuntu 12.10 i think and am trying to download the latest flashplayer which I assume is in chromium? [10:23] leexu: if you want to have built-in flash, you have to use "google chrome", not "chromium-browser" [10:23] ah thank you good to know [10:24] or you just install "flashplugin-installer" [10:24] i don't think i am up to installs yet [10:25] i have installed chrome before 'by the menu' but that's about it [10:27] i'm sort of a old hater of microsoft ;-) [10:27] chrome has flash built in, chromium doesn't [10:28] that's what i said :) [10:28] excellent information i will install as soon as xubuntu installs [10:29] completely [10:32] how do i delete the wine shortcut in >applications>wine [10:34] computer: it's in .local/share/applications/wine === crondd is now known as crond [10:43] i will just install wine again then delete shortcut then remove wine [10:43] becaused its not listed in that location === crondd is now known as crond [13:30] como funciona isso aqui [13:30] ?

[13:41] xubuntu853: right-click > add to archive [13:42] I don't see add to archive [13:43] If I don't see add to achive what is the problem? [13:46] I don't see add to achieve when i right click [13:47] how ca i fix that? === Catbuntu is now known as Neshemah === john__ is now known as __john__ === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [15:40] Hello [15:40] Can anyone name examples of how Xubuntu is more user-friendly than Debian with Xfce? [15:42] antithesis, what do you mean. [15:44] Well, what are the differences between the two in general? [15:44] Isn't a major feature of Ubuntu that it's out-of-the-box? [15:45] not really [15:45] antithesis: the only difference is in what applications are installed by default and what desktop environment is used [15:45] debian and ubuntu both have ways of adding propietary codecs to play mp3, movies, etc [15:46] antithesis: xubuntu uses xfce4, which seem to be well liked by people who are accustomed to "traditional" interfaces [15:46] Are there no differences in supported hardware, for example? [15:46] antithesis: no, under the hood they are exactly the same [15:47] antithesis: it's the same base system with a different set of default apps [15:48] So if Ubuntu can run Steam, so can Debian? [15:48] Between (X)Ubuntu and Debian there are different kernel patches though. [15:48] ask in #debian about running steam [15:49] It was just an example [15:50] If they're really the same under the hood, what do these mean?: http://i.imgur.com/zXARw.png [15:52] What is that? [15:53] A dialog you see when you try to download Ubuntu [15:53] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/questions?distro=desktop&bits=32&release=latest [15:54] Like I said, we may provide kernel patches that Debian does not.. or work to write kernel patches. [15:54] I think TheSheep was speaking about the difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu [15:55] Well, could you give an example of those kernel patches? What does the end user notice? [15:55] Pici: ah, right, I missed the beginning and just assumed it was that [15:55] antithesis: sorry [15:55] Does it make a big difference [15:55] TheSheep np [15:56] still, all the patches that Ubuntu has are free for taking, just Debian doesn't incorporate some of them because of ideological reasons [15:56] Because of reasons? [15:57] antithesis: Debian has a very strict set of rules about what gets included [15:57] Lol I'm kidding [15:57] What I meant was that that's a pleonasm [15:57] antithesis: for example, they didn't want Firefox because its logo is a registered trademark [15:58] antithesis: you have to excuse me, English is not my native language and I don't know how to better say that the resons are ideological [15:58] reasons* [15:59] ofc [15:59] But nobody has an example of a patch Ubuntu has that Debian doesn't? [17:24] hello all, who is best software for unzip .zip files ? [18:03] I wonder if there will be an xubuntu powered phone now ;) [18:06] sure, why not [18:06] P: === Guest30155 is now known as |Slacker| === rslacke is now known as |Slacker| === HD_AUDIO is now known as danmackay === shawnz is now known as Konigsberg7 [21:15] Im trying to use the calender [21:15] the one named Orange [21:16] I tried to import a file to it .ICS [21:16] still doesnt work [21:16] it is freazing [21:16] is it normal? [21:18] obviously not [21:18] you might have found a bug [21:18] congratulations! [21:18] but it doesn't do anything [21:18] maybe becouse my file is too big [21:18] !bugs [21:18] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [21:19] (btw, the name of the calendar app is "orage", without the "n") [21:19] does it work fine for u? [21:19] now it work [21:19] s [21:19] I can't tell, because I uninstalled it. [21:19] what do you have [21:20] just google calendar through the browser [21:20] I use the default one on gnome 3.4 before [21:20] in fedora [21:20] now I moved to sfce [21:20] x [21:20] I will make keyboardshorcut to see the orage [22:58] On my xubuntu 12.10 desktop, I want to: 1. use smaller desktop ions, 2. change the menu structure. Can anyone show me where this is explained? [23:02] Guest77791: [23:02] http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/preferences [23:03] Guest77791: http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.com/2012/06/how-to-graphically-edit-xfcexubuntu.html [23:07] :) Thanks, holstein. Also, I have installed a Ruby Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and the Bluefish HTML editor. The latter appears in the 'Development' sub-menu, which was created when I installed Bluefish, but the former is not to be found there or anywhere else? Does anyone know why this might be? [23:08] Guest77791: i didnt think that was a GUI [23:08] Guest77791: i think that is command line [23:09] Guest77791: i could be wrong.. you'd need to elaborate as wo what ruby ide you speak of and where you got it [23:11] My "Ubuntu Software Centre" graphical interface, used instead of apt-get, ... on this occasion, calls it "Interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby (default version)". I can't find a shorter name. [23:12] Guest77791: its not a GUI afaik [23:14] The rfuby ide is not a GUI so therefore does not appear on any menu? So I need to open a terminal? [23:14] Guest77791: if you want to use the tooll you downloaded that doesnt have a GUI nor a menu entry, thats where i would start [23:15] you might want something like http://arcadia.rubyforge.org/ which im sure there is something in the repos... [23:20] :) I was at a dead-end only half an hour ago and now have a large number of promising paths to choose from. Thank you, again, holstein. (A good touch typing tutor may help here I have Klavaro). [23:22] Guest77791: enjoy! [23:23] I'll let u know how it goes. [23:43] The tabbed icon form at main_menu->settings_manager->desktop allowed me to reduce the desktop icon size from 32px to 24px. (I could have reduced it to 8px. Now I have to find how to also reduce the text font size -- right now not as easy to find as I had expected.) [23:47] There's a "Use custom size" field, only active if the check-box in front of it is checked. I reduced the font to 6px :) [23:51] On another topic, can anyone show me how to 1. create a desktop background with a paint program like gimp? Install it? What I want is a desktop that has multiple faint images of a QWERTY keyboard. [23:53] ... I meant: show me where to find the information. I can start search in through the gimp online manual myself, unless anyone can point directly to what I want.
