Malinussthen I got a problem.. sigh00:00
MalinussI used the unetbootin, and got the newest xubuntu on it. Now when I boot with the USB, it first take ages when it tries to get the DHCP, and then when it finally does (it's connected trough a modem, and the internet works fine under windows), it displays some errors for like a second (I never get to read them), and boots windows...00:02
Malinusssigh...00:02

ZasekAnd do you know where's the problem?00:13

CandlehawkHello, I am having an issue with my headset not being recognized by skype. I am using xubuntu 12.10 64 bit and I am trying to get the Logitech G930 to be my default device.02:08
Candlehawkasarkar: Sneaky bastard :)02:13
Candlehawkasterismo: Perhaps you can help me>02:15
melodieCandlehawk, does the headset have jack connection or usb connection ?02:16
Candlehawkmelodie: USB.02:16
CandlehawkI can hear videos just fine on FF02:16
melodiedid you configure your head set in the pulseaudio gui configuration ?02:17
CandlehawkNo, just how it worked by default.02:17
melodieusb headsets are difficult to get to work, I experienced it and got one with jack connection which works everywhere02:17
CandlehawkIt is only skype that has the issue that it does not find the headset.02:17
melodiewhat configuration menus did you find in skype ?02:18
melodiehave you tried the latest skype for windows with wine ? (never know... )02:18
CandlehawkI went to the options page and under sound devices I can not find anything remotely similar to the headset.02:18
CandlehawkI would rather not use the windows version, due to ads and me not liking the windows layout.02:19
melodieyou know there is nothing much to do when it comes to non free software02:20
melodietry start it from console, and then look at the output, in case something shows out02:20
CandlehawkNever mind, figured it out. The list options were under weird names that had nothing to do with the headset.02:23

knomesebastian_Hope, type "free -mh" in a terminal (without the quotes)14:12
xubuntu972is it possible to install ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa directly from the setup process? I asked help about installing on netbook because no GUI interface14:13
knomexubuntu972, nope, that's not possible afaik14:13

xubuntu972It would be nice if I can add a personal package from the setup to integrate ppa:xorg stuff14:20

There's no way to minimise them, their not even recognised in the top pannel, and the pannels are underneath the open windows.If i open a new application it just superposis on the top of the other's and there's no way getting it out of there. Only closing it. impossible to type whatsoever in terminal too. I guess i shall formatt and 14:24
knomeLuciferis, press alt+f2 and run "xfwm4" (without the quotes). does that help?14:25

daswortwhich problem xubuntu16415:09
xubuntu164impossible to use xub, terminal mode and no gui, sounds because i have cedar trail stuff15:09
xubuntu164Then asked help on forum, someone says I need to do ppa:xorg stuff, but not connected, and now found how to connect with iwconfig wlan0 but says I can't connect...  It would be nice if I can use GUI on xubuntu. Tried to install XUB 386, UB 64, Xub 64, but no gui after iknstall15:11
xubuntu164http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12501354#post1250135415:13
daswortxubuntu164: you could try a dev version of 13.0415:14
xubuntu164Would be happy anything as long I can run on Gui interface... I guess if I can't run gui with this last one, I will use another linux distrib, in my hardest pain because I <3 ubuntu15:16
g16xubuntu164: but can't you do a GUI-less install, then apt-add-repository, then apt-get install xfce4-desktop?15:20
g16You can with either XUbuntu 12.04 alternate CD (you could still upgrade to 12.10 after installation)... or, well, falling back to Debian15:21
g16Offline .deb installation can be done with an offline repository https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal15:23
xubuntu164Tried live cd, doesn't work. Tried to connect through internet with iwconfig, doesn't work... And I guess pasting a partition image will not make any changes15:26
