[00:43] xubuntu 12.04.2 amd64 desk does not seem to fit on a 700 MB CD [00:43] did I miss something? [00:44] Do I burn it to a DVD? === Lump|AFK is now known as Lumpy [00:45] yeah your gonna have to use USB [00:45] Will a DVD work? I don't have a spare USB [00:46] Any way to put the ISO on an NTFS partition and run a smaller CD to start it? [00:46] maybe [00:46] yeah use the same apps u would use for making a bootable USB but point to that [00:47] I don't have a spare thumb drive. Will a DVD work? [00:47] yes [00:47] usually not as its the wrong format. but you can use a hard drive partition [00:48] I need an entire partition? [00:48] what? [00:48] i guess it depends on the burning app. mine spits the DVD out teling me to replace with a CD [00:48] DMCA, what? why would you say that? [00:48] edinny: are you sure about not fitting 700MB ? [00:48] that is what Baserio says [00:48] you can burn it to a dvd edinny [00:50] Brasero does not like burning it to a dvd. Do I have to use CDrecord from the command line? [00:50] how large is the file? [00:50] oops...does cdrecord even exist anymore? [00:50] edinny, it should work from brasero [00:50] 741.3mb [00:50] if you dont have a USB and your burning app wont let u burn to DVD, you can make a 3GB partition and "burn" the ISO to that [00:50] called wodim now [00:50] i know i've done it [00:50] edinny: ok, I see now, it says 707MB, it is not likely to fit a normal 700MB cd [00:50] xfburn too [00:51] it's a cd image, it should fit [00:51] edinny, what iso you want to use? [00:51] well it doesnt [00:51] xubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso [00:51] they havent been good about making the ISO conform to the 700MB max size [00:52] edinny: (the xubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso was 697MB, so it is growing on all of us) [00:53] Downloading "alternate", but I was hoping to make a live CD to carry around, too [00:53] use wodim -overburn [00:53] it should fit then [00:53] can I find 12.04.1? [00:53] Who cares about updates [00:54] Dr_Fets: are you sure -overburn will help if the max capacity of the cd is e.g. 703MB ? [00:54] there should be 10 more at least [00:54] I would try it [00:55] sudo wodim -overburn dev=/dev/xxx image.iso [00:55] every cd has a bit spare space [00:56] uh you cant count on that. not all CDs have more than an extra 2MB [00:56] and you can damage the drive if it doesnt [00:56] never heard of that [00:56] anyway, can you just use a dvd? [00:57] braserio spits it out telling you to use a CD [00:57] it says to replace the dvd with a supported cd or dvd [00:57] try xfburn [00:57] or just use command line wodim [00:58] Dr_Fets: I have had cds where the limit seemed to be around 703-704MiB (binary mega) which would be around 738MB (decimal mega) [00:59] I wonder why they release such a big image [00:59] and name it cd image [00:59] cuz for some reason ppl are against actually burning to a CD [00:59] I burned 730mb once on a 700mb cd [01:00] Dr_Fets: good question. a bug fix that takes several megabytes between .1 and .2 [01:00] ? [01:00] DVD seems to be writing with woburn [01:00] nope, woburn will not do it with a dvd [01:00] hmmm [01:00] maybe something is wrong with your dvd? [01:01] try to format it [01:05] wodim seems to write with overburn... [01:07] I hope it works [01:08] wodim: Make sure that you are root, enable DMA and check your HW/OS set up. [01:08] oh well [01:10] I don't know why they replaced cdrecord with wodim [01:10] cdrecord has more features === Lumpy is now known as Lump|AFK [02:02] hi all, does anyone how i can lock or remove the anthy bar that floats for the desktop while i use it?(anthy is used to type in japanese) thanks [02:34] Pizza90, could you share a screenshot? [02:34] GridCube: i gave up for tonight [02:35] ok :) [02:35] GridCube: basically anthy looks buggy on xubuntu 12.04 i can turn it off and on once then i see like a keyboard icon transparent (not in the dock) [02:35] and it's unusable <.< [05:09] To install xubuntu, can I use OSX's Disk Utility to burn the iso to a 700MB CD? [08:14] Good morning. === azeam_afk is now known as azeam === azeam is now known as azeam_afk [11:41] hi guys...is there a program similar to archbey that i can install on xubuntu/ubuntu? [11:41] what is archbey [11:44] on archbang/archlinux whenever you open a terminal archbey prints out the archlinux logo in ascii art along with some other useful info such as kernel version etc etc [11:46] gmg85: i recommend to look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/byobu.html [11:46] or you can write your own script [13:06] gmg85: Why won't you just install archbey on Xubuntu? :) [13:29] Wizard, let me try that....though it would be nice if archbey will print the xubuntu logo [13:29] will it? [13:29] I doubt. [13:29] :D [13:29] unless you modify the app/a certain file, it most probably won't [13:47] hi all [13:47] Hi Raucherzimmer. [13:57] mmm where are params defined? In the model? @user.personal_info = params["personal_info"] [13:58] VinceThePrince? [13:58] knome, yes [13:59] could you elaborate on the context - what are you trying to do? [13:59] knome, I think I found it I need to add an extra field to the model personal_ info :) [14:00] knome, so I can fill it up to transfer data from the view to the controller [14:00] i still don't know what you are talking about [14:00] ^ [14:00] hehe [14:00] looks like ruby^ [14:00] yes... this is not the ruby support channel. [14:01] ^^ [14:01] :D [14:01] ooh lol [14:01] wrong channel [14:01] FML Right [14:08] I cannot run Xubuntu from my bootable USB, it gets stuck on that menu. [14:10] Anyone? Advise? [14:10] !patience | userUbu0804 [14:10] userUbu0804: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [14:15] patience word is not in my dictionary [14:15] thank you knome, [15:17] Is there a way to find out why the system hung? [15:18] I'm pretty certain it's the GPU (screen glitched weirdly and everything hung), but would like to make sure.. [15:20] GermainZ: Check logs. [15:21] can't seem to run matlab 2012 version [15:21] shows that jre is in some folder [15:23] Well Xorg didn't crash [15:23] Which logs should I be checking exactly? [15:24] Look at /var/log/messages.. If it exists on Ubuntu. [15:24] I am looking at logs in /var/log but there's no "messages", if that's what you meant. === zAo^_ is now known as zAo^ [16:54] any 1 know how to change the style of the panel at the bottom in xfce [16:54] like how? [16:54] Skogsmull3n: right click and panel settings [16:54] its that what you mean? [16:55] size / color position would be right click -> panel -> panel settings [16:55] you can choose another gtk theme too, or choose an image as its background and make it transparent, and... [16:55] ye the last 1 [16:55] gtk theme [16:55] thats all in panel 1 prefrences [16:56] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/give-your-linux-desktop-new-hope-with-this-gtk3-theme i mean the bottom 1 [16:58] Skogsmull3n, thats a dock, probably docky [16:59] oh :o [17:00] Definitely docky [17:00] it could be avant, but i havent used any for too long :P xfce panels are pretty enough [17:01] I use cairo-dock but tried docky recently and that's exactly how it looks. :) [17:01] I like eye candy. [17:02] If one of us xubuntu'ers wants to try out Unity, we only need to install ubuntu-desktop. Right? or...? [17:02] It'll come with bloat [17:03] I would suggest you backup the last line of apt's log file, after you're done. [17:03] That way you can easily uninstall everything that came with it. [17:04] Uninstalling ubuntu-desktop probably won't do anything, as I'm guessing it's just a package [17:04] (someone might want to correct me about the actual term "package", not sure :) ) [17:04] !ubuntu-desktop [17:04] k/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [17:04] meta package GermainZ [17:04] Thank you, metapackage :) [17:05] (I'm trying to advise an adventurous new user that I've steered onto xubuntu. She thinks she wants to try Unity and see what it's like.) [17:06] vbox [17:06] !vbox [17:06] Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [17:06] She has plenty of horsepower, so.... [17:06] P: for testing there is nothing better [17:06] aaahhh Yea. That's a good idea. She can install Ubuntu in VirtualBox. [17:06] yes [17:07] Thank you. That's what I'll tell her to do. (Or actually, I may just do it for her.) [17:07] that way she can learn a little bit more about computers too [17:07] Yep. === alcides is now known as Guest82825 [18:02] guys, how can I use btrfs and encrypt all my /home? I wish to find a releable tutorial for it. [18:04] How can I troubleshoot boot hangs after making a choice from the menu?

[18:05] Yes the memory is fine. And I run a differnt distro on the box just fine. [18:06] Ubuntu 12.04.2 runs very well only having an issue with the HP SMART Array 6400 every once and a while. [18:06] Locks the process to D on I/O [18:07] I don't know much about troubleshooting the boot process at this level. When I hit escape I get a boot: prompt but don't really know what to do in order to trace down the exact problem. [18:13] donde esta el raton?

Will remember now :> [18:40] baizon, sometimes you need to remove ~/.config and *that's* important to backup. ~/.cache is just temporary files and does not carry any settings or anything you'd want to keep [18:40] ok [18:41] <_raven> baizon ok tnx that solved the problem [18:42] np [19:19] hey there guys, may I ask for piece of advice? :) I'm running xubuntu 12.10 with dual monitors and flash videos seems to be little bugged.. sometimes their fullscreen is buggy.. I've tried google solution, but without success.. :< [19:57] пвттрерап [19:57] sabayonuser: Hi. [19:58] What does "pwttrerap" mean?

[20:02] would be the correct response [20:02] But it wasn't even a word. [20:03] it was an abbreviation of several [20:03] And half of slavic word uses cyrrylics. how would I know if it wasn't for example bulgarian or macedonian? :P [20:03] s/eord/world/ [20:05] Question. [20:06] Answer. [20:06] 42. [20:07] Xubuntu 10.04, I want to have two keyboard layouts available, pl and ru with phonetic variant. Problem is, that "pl" has to be altered: ISO level 3 shift has to be moved from right alt to super key. [20:07] Can't you change that in the Keyboard layout option? [20:07] I'm trying to construct setxkbmap command. [20:08] Keyboard layout options don't allow moving iso lvl 3 shift. [20:08] Oh, okay. [20:09] Hmm. [20:09] XFCE had "two state launcher" once. [20:09] That would be handy. [20:42] hello, I just compiled linux kernel 3.8.2 for x86_64 everything looks ok, except that I close the lid (6730b hp notebook) the computer suspends, after I lift the lid back and turn on, the notebook fan turns on at high speed and doesn't stop. What can be the problem? [20:44] I'm not sure if custom kernels are supported here.. Answering your question, I have no idea. maybe thermal module gets crazy? [20:48] :S the temp shows bellow 44º [20:48] I'm trying to place a option I missed in ACPI menu [20:48] to see if that's is what's missing [20:48] if anything is really missing [20:48] brb [20:56] Why doesnt the effin flashplayer work as it should? -.- [21:02] smurk: How it should? [21:04] Wizard: I run dual monitor.. And most of flash videos are shrinked.. Either they are shrinked to the size of the smaller monitor, or they are weirdly shrinked vertically only.. [21:09] smurk: Strange indeed.. [21:10] Wizard: http://i.imgur.com/ndY0xCK.jpg here's screen of what it looks like.. [21:11] Flash is that game? or what? [21:12] its stream [21:13] http://imgur.com/q8no7xS and here what it looks like on youtube for example [21:15] o_O [21:15] Seems like it isn't calcualting screen res properly :| [21:15] But sometimes it works correctly [21:16] but just only sometimes.. [21:17] Hmm, does it work ok when you run it on primary display? [21:18] Primary display you mean the bigger one or the one with task bar, etc? [21:19] Yes. [21:20] well if I run on the smaller display, it works correctly.. if I turn off the smaller display and run it only on the larger one, then it works correctly too [21:24] :( [21:25] Do other multimedia (or fullscreen) appliactions behave like that too? [21:25] nope, just flash videos.. [21:25] It's known bug.. But solutions I found online does not work.. [21:26] Solution would be if Adobe stopped sucking at coding. [21:26] You can fill a bug report, but I bet they will ignore it. [21:27] BTW, do you use nvidia's twinview or normal XRandr for dual head? [21:28] I do have ATI graphic card.. And I used xrandr at first, and know just whatever it is default in xubuntus's settings [21:28] XRandr. [21:29] well, then xrandr it is :) [21:29] I meant XRandr as a protocol, not as console tool :) [21:29] Hmm, than I'm 99% sure it's a bug in flash. [21:29] And I can't help you. Maybe somebody else here will. [21:30] There are not any more sources where can I download flash plugin, apart from Adobe site and Software Center, right? [21:31] * Wizard nods. [21:31] You can pull the one from Chrome and use it in chromium... [21:32] Well I may try first, if it works in Chromium properly.. [21:36] yea, it is buggy in chromium too.. :( [21:37] Sure it is, it is flash after all. Did you change h/w accel options? And are you using pepperflash in chromium? Doesn't matter as much if you are using the same version of flash. [21:49] I didn't change anything.. I'm using whatever is preinstalled in chromium and firefox.. [22:16] Hi, what virtual keyboards do you recommend? [22:18] I tried xvkbd [22:18] onboard is pretty decent [22:20] pleia2: Ok, thanks! I'll check it out
