| Wizard | Hello there. | 12:53 |
| xubuntu071 | I think I made a huge error | 13:09 |
| xubuntu071 | I installed xubuntu as my main OS, overwriting windows XP | 13:09 |
| Wizard | Seems reasonable :) | 13:10 |
| xubuntu071 | My wife didn't like xubuntu so I just started my computer with my recovery disc which includes windows | 13:10 |
| xubuntu071 | so the computer reformatted the hard drive and was ready to load with windows | 13:11 |
| xubuntu071 | I got the infamous "grub rescue" screen | 13:12 |
| xubuntu071 | So, I then tried to just start my computer again to install xubuntu again | 13:13 |
| xubuntu071 | xubuntu seemed to load fine, but as I use it and try to load things I had on my original xubuntu I get tons of errors or "already installed by other ..." | 13:14 |
| Wizard | I'm lost :| | 13:15 |
| xubuntu071 | So, after this long winded post, my question is how do completely erase my hard drive in order to reinstall xubuntu cleanly...or is that even necessary? | 13:15 |
| xubuntu906 | greetings | 13:15 |
| Wizard | It isn't necessary. | 13:15 |
| Wizard | But if you wish to dual boot you have to manually split your disk at some point. | 13:16 |
| xubuntu071 | ok, so how do clean or check my hard drive for errors...or do i just reinstall xubuntu with usb | 13:16 |
| xubuntu906 | I have a tricky question ... i want to set up irc from my homepc , the one iam using now. I already found out that it is a difficult process. Does anyone hjave a link or a suggestion where i can find info about, but info which isn't fragmented | 13:17 |
| xubuntu071 | No reason to duel boot as my windows xp seems to be lost in "grub rescue" land | 13:17 |
| xubuntu906 | how should i start m what do i need to learn first | 13:17 |
| xubuntu071 | How do I fix all of these errors? | 13:18 |
| xubuntu906 | its should be able to handle a max. of 10 users | 13:18 |
| Wizard | xubuntu071: You haven't specified any details. | 13:18 |
| xubuntu071 | I don't reallly know the details...it's just when I added things through the terminal I got messages like "already used by another person" | 13:19 |
| xubuntu071 | something like that | 13:20 |
| xubuntu071 | will reinstalling xubuntu give me a clean hard drive with only xubuntu or will I have remnants of my previous errors | 13:21 |
| xubuntu071 | another example is "cairo-dock" is not functioning properly | 13:22 |
| Wizard | Oh.. | 13:22 |
| xubuntu071 | plus I contuously get the little exclamation point at the top of my screen saying that something had to stop because or internal errors | 13:24 |
| Wizard | xubuntu071: I really can't tell you anything because I still don't know what you have done. | 13:25 |
| Wizard | I can only onswer your question: cleans install means clean install, so it will give you clean, fresh operating system. | 13:25 |
| xubuntu071 | ok, that sounds great to me | 13:26 |
| Wizard | But I can't take any responsibility for any data loss. | 13:26 |
| xubuntu071 | what kind of loss data could I possibly experience | 13:26 |
| xubuntu071 | I have all photos and documents on external hard drives | 13:27 |
| Wizard | Dunno, If you have any documents on this computer or music or stuff? | 13:27 |
| xubuntu071 | when you say clean install, that means starting the computer with xubuntu and installing over my hard drive? | 13:28 |
| xubuntu071 | I don't need to do anything before, like gparted? | 13:28 |
| Wizard | Yes. And using "take whole diske space" or manually creating partitions. | 13:28 |
| xubuntu071 | ok | 13:28 |
| Wizard | Depends what you want at the end, it is your PC. | 13:29 |
| xubuntu071 | I'm fine with having xubuntu as my only OS as my pc has only 1GB ram | 13:29 |
| Wizard | Should be enough.. | 13:30 |
| Wizard | BTW, which XFCE does Xubuntu 12.10 run? 4.10? | 13:30 |
| xubuntu071 | don't know...how would I find that info, please? | 13:30 |
| koegs | 12.10 runs 4.10, 12.04 runs 4.8 | 13:31 |
| Wizard | Thanks koegs. | 13:31 |
| Wizard | xubuntu071: There is "About XFCE" item in main menu :P | 13:31 |
| Wizard | 4.10 is awesome ;) | 13:31 |
| koegs | there is also an 4.10 PPA für 12.04 and a XFCE 4.12 PPA :) | 13:32 |
| Wizard | für :P | 13:32 |
| Wizard | Is 4.12 out? | 13:32 |
| Wizard | Did I miss something? | 13:32 |
| Wizard | Nope, seems it isn't. | 13:33 |
| koegs | it's for testing | 13:33 |
| xubuntu071 | would I be better off installing xubuntu 12.10 instead? | 13:33 |
| Wizard | Mÿ göd, thïs xübüntũ dównłoad wïll nêver énd. | 13:34 |
| Wizard | koegs: Yoü inspired më :) | 13:34 |
| Wizard | xubuntu071: Ðepedns what you need. | 13:34 |
| Wizard | I also need a clean install. Enough of playing with strange Linux distros :) | 13:36 |
| Wizard | I hope he won't make his computer explode ;P | 13:46 |
| xubuntu523 | hi there, does anyone have expiriences with setting up irc server from homepc ? | 14:15 |
| sonkey4 | played with irc servers on vps's for learning years ago, don't remember much, home pc is not really suitable | 14:17 |
| xubuntu523 | it wouldnt have more then 5 users | 14:17 |
| xubuntu523 | and one channel | 14:17 |
| sonkey4 | why not just use an existing network | 14:18 |
| xubuntu523 | ... well ... its an strange reason but because iam paranoid :) | 14:18 |
| xubuntu523 | and because i would learn a lot in the process | 14:19 |
| xubuntu523 | hmm, thanks anyway | 14:20 |
| Wizard | Done ;) | 14:23 |

| xubuntu775 | I read that cheese 3.7.91 is out. I dont finde it in the software updater. there is still 3.6. Will it be updatet ? | 15:48 |
| TheSheep | sure, at the next release of xubuntu | 15:49 |
| xubuntu775 | Shud it not be in the software center now like other programs ? | 15:51 |
| xubuntu775 | 3.6 is crashing. | 15:52 |

| ronalds | xfce + nautilus ir right now the best choise, if don't use dash a lot | 15:54 |
| ronalds | multitasks and does faster a lot of things | 15:55 |
| Wizard | Thunar is nice too, ronalds. | 16:02 |
| xubuntu583 | A user tell me the new cheese wil come with the next releaes of xubuntu but that is wrong. It is not includet but shud be in the software center. | 16:03 |
| ronalds | desktop managing in gnome approach allows bigger and smaller icons | 16:03 |
| knome | xubuntu583, the next release is released in april. | 16:03 |
| knome | xubuntu583, it's not supposed to be in the software center yet. | 16:04 |
| ronalds | cheese is from xfce project? | 16:04 |
| xubuntu583 | I dont know.. maybe it is not stable yet. i am not sure. | 16:05 |
| koegs | cheese is in the standard repo, so you can install it with "sudo apt-get install cheese" | 16:05 |
| Wizard | Cheese is part of gnome. | 16:05 |
| xubuntu583 | Gnome projects. | 16:06 |
| Wizard | But nobody prevents you from installing cheese on xubuntu. | 16:06 |
| knome | that's not the question. | 16:07 |
| Wizard | What's the question? | 16:07 |
| xubuntu583 | version 3.6 crash so i wait for the new version. | 16:07 |
| knome | ..and that's been answered to twice already | 16:07 |
| Wizard | Ah, sorry :< | 16:08 |
| knome | xubuntu583, if english is not your nativa language, there are channels in other languages well. what's your native language? | 16:08 |
| knome | *native | 16:08 |
| Wizard | Naive :) | 16:09 |
| xubuntu583 | Then next cheese wil be on april or do you meen xubuntu ? | 16:11 |
| Wizard | Xubuntu. | 16:11 |
| knome | xubuntu583, the next xubuntu release is on april, and the new cheese will be available in it when you have upgraded. | 16:12 |
| xubuntu583 | ok.. thank you. | 16:13 |
| xubuntu583 | Will the new xubuntu have the same system requirements like 12.10 ? I have 512 MB Ram and will that be ok ? | 16:15 |
| ronalds | use older kernels | 16:15 |
| ronalds | kernel in 12.04 is better for older hardware | 16:15 |
| ronalds | maybe | 16:15 |
| knome | xubuntu583, the requirements should be approximately the same. | 16:16 |
| xubuntu583 | Ronald why is 12.04 better ? Do you meen it run faster ? 12.10 is good on my netbook. My SSD is slow down my system here. | 16:17 |
| ronalds | because kernel is older | 16:28 |
| Sir_Leto | i was wondering, why do we still have to manually edit config files to get bluetooth aduio working/ | 16:29 |
| ronalds | give this idea in ubuntu sytes | 16:30 |
| knome | Sir_Leto, is there a launchpad bug reported about it? | 16:31 |
| Sir_Leto | not sure, i'll check. | 16:31 |
| Sir_Leto | i don't see one. | 16:32 |
| Sir_Leto | so no one suggested it/ | 16:32 |
| knome | Sir_Leto, that would be a good starting point, then developers could look into it | 16:32 |
| Sir_Leto | my shift key needs to be fixed. | 16:32 |
| knome | it's possibly mentione before, but if a bug doesn't exist, it's hard to start working on it | 16:33 |
| knome | +d | 16:33 |
| knome | my *fingers* need to be fixed. | 16:33 |
| knome | i got to go now. anyway, if you file a bug, feel free to paste/ping me with the url, and i see what i can do to get work on it started | 16:33 |
| knome | see you later and good luck | 16:34 |
| Sir_Leto | my shift is actually stuck on this keyboard... | 16:34 |
| Sir_Leto | okay, thanks | 16:34 |

| knome | --> | 16:34 |
| Sir_Leto | I have to remember what email address i used 5 years ago. >.< | 16:35 |
| Sir_Leto | last time I used launchpad was in 2010. | 16:39 |

| xubuntu522 | Hi. I'm attempting to d/l Xubuntu 12.04 alternate amd64. I've tried mirror and torrent, but each ISO burns a faulty disk and won't mount in Mac Finder, "no mountable file systems". Passes SHA1 checksum. What gives? | 18:58 |
| bazhang | from where | 18:59 |
| xubuntu522 | Xubuntu.org | 18:59 |
| bazhang | why do you need to mount the iso in Mac | 19:00 |
| xubuntu522 | I don't, but it's an indication of why the ISOs might not be burning. I've tried 4 unique downloads of the same ISO, 3 different optical drives and three different Macs, and i still can't produce a working CD. | 19:02 |
| bazhang | using what to burn, and what about a usb stick | 19:02 |
| xubuntu522 | I've used Disk Utility and Toast Titanium 9. CDs from the same batch have burned successfully. | 19:03 |
| xubuntu522 | A USB stick may be the way to go, but no point trying it if there's an indication the ISOs aren't working. | 19:04 |
| bazhang | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx | 19:05 |
| bazhang | and what about the regular iso | 19:05 |
| xubuntu522 | I haven't tried, but then burning it would be unhelpful as I need the alternate. | 19:06 |
| bazhang | whats the special need for the alternate, if I may inquire | 19:06 |
| xubuntu522 | AFAIK you need it installing using FDE. | 19:06 |
| xubuntu522 | ^for installing^ | 19:07 |
| bazhang | FDE being full desktop environment? | 19:07 |
| xubuntu522 | Oh, no. "Full Disk Encryption" | 19:08 |
| xubuntu522 | It's only on the alternate for 12.04. Didn't go standard till 12.10 | 19:08 |
| xubuntu522 | And I want the LTS. | 19:08 |
| xubuntu522 | Yeah, I'm stumped too… | 19:13 |
| bazhang | still looking | 19:17 |
| xubuntu522 | I'm close to my bandwidth cap, else I'd download a few more copies from different locations | 19:17 |
| bazhang | not tried from a Mac, so have to search a bit | 19:17 |
| xubuntu522 | Creating a Flash drive doesn't help either - I get the same error message! What on earth is going on here? | 19:24 |
| xubuntu522 | bazhang: I'm going to have to log. Appreciated the help :) Ciao. | 19:30 |
