[00:03] <Unit193> It's a ppa, who knows what the owner does, could put some hacked up IE/wine shipment even.
[00:03] <heoyea> do update
[00:03] <SunStar> okay just as long as its not required
[00:04] <SunStar> thats how i found it, i gots a notification sayin updates cant be installed cuz not all repos could be found, did apt-get update and saw those are the problem
[00:04] <SunStar> if i dont need em then to heck with em
[00:07] <Unit193> Could ppa purge it.

[04:29] <Cida> Hey guys. I'm having an issue with Xubuntu 13.04. After installing Xubuntu 13.04, I couldn't get on the Internet via Ethernet nor Wi-Fi. I'm also currently using a Live Session on said laptop, and it's allowing me to access the Internet just fine.
[04:29] <Cida> When I'm in a regular session, it says I have no Networking devices, either
[04:30] <holstein> Cida: a regular session? what does that mean?
[04:35] <holstein> Cida: did you do upgrades during the installation?
[04:35] <holstein> Cida: what im thinking is.. what is the difference between your installation and the live CD?
[04:35] <holstein> the live CD could have an older kernel, if you have applied upgrades
[04:37] <holstein> also, it could be user error with the wifi config.. can you see wifi AP's from the install? im guessing you didnt try the wired net from the live CD before install
[04:40] <Cida> I did use the wired connection when I  installed Xubuntu 13.04.
[04:41] <holstein> and you applied upgrades while installing? so you are indeed using a different kernel on the live CD and your install?
[04:41] <Cida> I guess
[04:41] <Cida> So it's a kernel issue?
[04:41] <holstein> Cida: i would confirm that.. thats a great place to start
[04:42] <holstein> Cida: i have no idea what the issue is.. im just saying, i would look and see if the kernel on the live CD is older than the one in the install.. if so, its easy to get to that kernel version on the install and test
[04:42] <holstein> then, you can look into what about the kernel has broken your networking.. thats suspicious to me though.. that it would be both wireless and wired...
[04:44] <holstein> i would boot the OS, and run in a terminal "uname -a" and do the same from the live CD and compare
[04:46] <Cida> Okay, I'm going to quickly do that.
[04:59] <cida> Okay, so I've gotten the Kernel for the Live Session, and I've gotten the kernel for the Stock Session.
[05:00] <cida> The output for uname -a on the live session is: Linux xubuntu 3.8.0-19-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 17 18:19:42 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
[05:00] <cida> And the output on the Stock Session is: 19-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 1 16:36:13 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
[05:00] <cida> Excuse me, it's: Linux Xubuntu 3.8.0-19-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 1 16:36:13 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
[05:01] <cida> So is there a known issue with the #30-Ubuntu version?
[05:04] <cida> Oh, and if anyone that can help came in after I left earlier, I'm having issues using the internet on a stock session. I can't use an Ethernet connection nor a Wi-Fi connection

[10:09] <ran_> hello
[10:10] <ochosi> !hi
[10:10] <ran_> i need help about sloe boot in 13.04
[10:10] <ran_> slow
[10:12] <ran_> from kern.log: May 12 12:47:29 ran-pc kernel: [   25.565036] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
[10:12] <ran_> May 12 12:48:23 ran-pc kernel: [   79.330194] NVRM: GPU at 0000:01:00: GPU-b03a1015-0ea1-3bcd-767e-11e25bf45b35
[10:13] <ran_> why there is a delay of about 40 seconds?
[10:13] <ran_> i have dual boot system with win 7, and nvidia gpu.
[10:16] <ran_> i use the nvidia driver 310.44, that is tested.
[10:18] <bazhang> 40 seconds seems standard
[10:18] <bazhang> what were you expecting
[10:20] <ran_> in 12.10 the boot was 20-30 seconds, and now it just stops in the middle of the boot for 35-40 seconds without doing nothing, until the user log-in
[10:20] <bazhang> is this a custom kernel?
[10:21] <ran_> no. this is the 3.8.0-19 kernel, updated by xubuntu servers
[10:22] <bazhang> so  a FIVE second difference. that does not seem to be much
[10:23] <bazhang> I'd be more worried about why you have to re-boot so often
[10:23] <ran_> no. this is 30-40 seconds difference.
[10:23] <bekks> 40-20=20 =max and 35-30=5 =min.
[10:24] <bekks> Thats an increase of 5-20 seconds. Not 30-40.
[10:24] <ran_> i tested the RAM with memtest, and its ok
[10:24] <bazhang> 12.10 20-39 seconds, you say; this version 35-40, so yeah five seconds
[10:24] <ran_> i also tested the HD, and its ok too,
[10:25] <bazhang> ran_, why do you have to reboot so often, thats quite worrying
[10:25] <bazhang> ran_, whats your current uptime
[10:27] <ran_> i dont need to reboot often. but when i turn on the computer i need to wait about 100 minute and 20-30 seconds until the user log-in
[10:28] <ran_> 1 minute, sorry
[10:28] <bazhang> 100 minutes?
[10:28] <bekks> ran_: And it was even less with 12.04?
[10:28] <bazhang> oh One
[10:28] <ran_> 1 minute, sorry
[10:29] <bazhang> ran_, give us your uptime please
[10:30] <ran_> in 12.10 it was much faster
[10:30] <ran_> 43 minute uptime
[10:31] <bekks> ran_: And was it even faster in 12.04, that wasmy question.
[10:31] <bazhang> 5 seconds seems to not qualify as "much faster"
[10:31] <ran_> no. 12.04 and 12.10 was similar in boot times, and it was fast
[10:32] <ran_> the problem started when i upgraded to 13.04
[10:33] <bazhang> ran_, are you using a stopwatch on this?
[10:33] <ran_> no
[10:33] <bekks> If you still think 5 seconds win will that war, go back to 12.04 which is supported till 2017.
[10:33] <jooves> hi all. who knows why can't run tuxcmd? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5657571/
[10:34] <bazhang> so it feels a few seconds slower, not really confirmed
[10:34] <elfy> except the 40 second lag between ipv6 and nvidia perhaps
[10:34] <bazhang> I'd be much more concerned about having to reboot so often
[10:34] <ran_> if it was ONLY 5 seconds i was not here. i'm talking about 35-40 seconds.
[10:35] <bazhang> 20-30 vs 35-40, how is that a 40 second time difference
[10:36] <ran_> and i wan to add that there is a problem in shutdown also
[10:36] <ran_> want
[10:38] <ran_> sometimes the shutdown process fails to turn-off the PC, and i need to do it manually
[10:39] <ran_> that was not a problem with 12.04 or 12.10
[10:39] <bekks> Then use 12.04 until 2017.
[10:40] <ran_> how i downgrade?
[10:40] <bekks> Reinstallation.
[10:40] <bazhang> full reinstall
[10:42] <ran_> this is not a bug maybe?
[10:46] <xubuntu683> Hey
[10:46] <xubuntu683> Anyone there?
[10:46] <bazhang> yes
[10:47] <xubuntu683> I'm having some trouble installing Xubuntu
[10:47] <xubuntu683> Wonderin if you can help me
[10:49] <xubuntu683> I guess not
[10:49] <bekks> xubuntu683: You didnt asked a specific question. How do you expect help then?
[10:49] <xubuntu683> I was wondering if you were willing to help me first, before asking.
[10:50] <bekks> Start asking your specific question.
[10:50] <bazhang> no way to know unless theres an actual question xubuntu683
[10:50] <xubuntu683> I'm trying to install Xubuntu alongside Windows 8 on my SSD. But for some reason I cant select it during install and when I quit to the desktop and click on it, I get a message saying its still in hibernation mode or something.
[10:51] <xubuntu683> Unmountable*
[10:54] <xubuntu683> And I have no idea how to fix it since I've tried shutting down win8 properly..
[10:55] <bekks> Thats a ##windows issue :)
[10:59] <xubuntu683> Guess I'll have to find a way to fix it
[11:00] <bekks> xubuntu683: I bet windows has some option to shutdown instead of hibernate. Its just offtopic in here.
[11:00] <xubuntu683> I see
[11:01] <xubuntu683> Windows 8 sucks balls honestly
[11:02] <TheSheep> previous windowses sucked them dishonestly?
[11:02] <bekks> hrhr. :)
[11:02] <xubuntu683> lel
[11:05] <koegs> xubuntu683: if you try to mount it manually, there will be an option to delete the hiberfil.sys
[11:05] <xubuntu683> How do you mount it manually?
[11:08] <koegs> !mount | xubuntu683
[11:08] <xubuntu683> Thanks
[11:43] <nyuszika7h> how can I lock the screen remotely over SSH? xflock4 just exits with code 1.
[14:32] <An_Ony_Moose> the Bluebird style doesn't seem to define all the UI colours it's supposed to. As a result some GNOME apps (such as shotwell) have some rather unsightly visual bugs. Is this a bug in the bluebird theme or beyond its scope (i.e. I should just not be using shotwell in xfce?)
[14:47] <ochosi> An_Ony_Moose: that's a bug in bluebird
[14:47] <ochosi> An_Ony_Moose: best thing would be if you could report a bug on launchpad against shimmer-themes and include a description of your setup and ideally a screenshot of the problem. thanks!
[14:53] <An_Ony_Moose> ochosi: thanks
[15:10] <userr> lts here: chat clients disconnect (after a while) when i switch to another Xorg server (by using ctrl+alt+F8). how does the former Xorg server ("under ctrl+alt+F7") tell that i switched away from it? i need to suppress that.
[16:11] <Symbolix> hi,
[16:11] <Symbolix> may I ask for help?
[16:11] <Symbolix> regarding a boot issue with xubuntu 12.04
[16:11] <th0r> !ask
[16:17] <Symbolix> Thanks: I have a boot problem in xubuntu 12.04, on a macbook pro, even with the "noapic" option in the GRUB loader, the booting hangs at the very beginning where we see the Xubuntu splash (blue image, lake and a bird) with the Xubuntu logo and a progress bar.
[16:18] <Mmike> Hello! What is the difference between xfce-session and xubuntu-session, offered at the login screen?
[16:18] <th0r> Mmike, none as far as I have been able to determine
[16:19] <th0r> Mmike, I think the xubuntu entry is created by the metapackage xubuntu-desktop, and the xfce package is created by the xfce packages (which are part of the xubuntu-desktop
[16:19] <Mmike> th0r, ack, makes sense
[16:41] <Symbolix> Ok another question: How do I disable the fancy splash screen and see all the boot verbose messages? I tried the "nosplash debug --verbose" kind of things but I must be doing something wrong. Any ideas?
[16:43] <baizon> Symbolix: http://askubuntu.com/questions/120898/removing-the-splash-screen-on-shutdown-an-startup-i-want-to-be-able-to-see-the
[16:43] <elfy> I removed quiet splash and enabled GRUB_TERMINAL=console
[16:44] <Symbolix> but I do not have access to the actual OS yet, it crashes just after the GRUB, so I need to change the options on the boot-up
[16:44] <baizon> Symbolix: so run the grub menu
[16:45] <Symbolix> sorry, how do I do that? I already get the GRUB menu, then I hit "e" to go into dynamic mode to edit the start-up line
[16:46] <Symbolix> but then CTRL-x does not seem to be working, but I also have the F10 option, once I edit the line and hit F10, it continues, but non of the changes seems to be active
[16:46] <Symbolix> I still see the blue Xubuntu splash and it just hangs up somewhere there
[16:47] <elfy> have you tried booting to recovery mode then editing the file?
[16:47] <Symbolix> ah no
[16:47] <Symbolix> I can do it right now
[16:47] <Symbolix> I am on my other Linux box
[16:47] <Symbolix> I will try now
[16:48] <elfy> don't forget to update grub as well
[16:48] <Symbolix> can I do that with through the terminal only?
[16:48] <elfy> yep
[16:48] <elfy> nano /etc/default/grub
[16:48] <elfy> update-grub
[16:48] <Symbolix> cool trying right now
[16:49] <Symbolix> ah
[16:49] <Symbolix> this MacBook Pros (10,1)... they do not get the WIFI working striaght away
[16:49] <Symbolix> I am not sure if I get an update
[16:49] <elfy> why would you need wi-fi to edit the file?
[16:49] <Symbolix> no no sorry, for the update
[16:49] <elfy> oh - it's not that sort of update :)
[16:50] <Symbolix> I will need it right?
[16:50] <elfy> no
[16:50] <Symbolix> ah, I see
[16:50] <Symbolix> sorry
[16:50] <elfy> no need to apologise
[16:51] <Symbolix> ok,  I am on my root terminal, I will run the edit
[16:51] <elfy> can't remember how to mount / as read write though
[16:52] <Belial> does anyone have any issues with xfce's native compositor when switching between workspaces? sometimes the other application's window is painted onto another application.
[16:52] <Symbolix> oh, it says read-only file system :)
[16:52] <Belial> in xubuntu 13.04
[16:52] <Belial> seems to only happen when switching workspaces. doesn't happen all the time either.
[16:52] <elfy> Symbolix:  mount -o remount,rw /
[16:54] <Symbolix> elfy: Ah! Worked :)
[16:56] <elfy> Belial: I've not seen that
[16:59] <Symbolix> still no verbose
[16:59] <Symbolix> I have seen a slightly different looking grub
[16:59] <Symbolix> but after that, I still get a blank screen
[17:00] <Symbolix> elfy: going into recovery mode to try once again
[17:01] <Belial> elfy, are you using an intel driver?
[17:01] <Symbolix> yes
[17:01] <Symbolix> elfy: it is an inter MacBook Pro
[17:02] <Symbolix> elfy: I am on a slightly older iMac right now and Xubuntu works just fine
[17:02] <Symbolix> elfy: But with those new MacBook Pro laptops, it is a pain. I will start to try to fix things as soon as I get to see where exactly it hangs at start-up
[17:04] <Symbolix> elfy: so I have GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
[17:05] <Symbolix> elfy: and GRUB_TERMINAL=console enabled
[17:06] <Symbolix> elfy: should I add things like "nosplash" or "debug --verbose"
[17:07] <brainwash> Belial, try switching back to UXA accel method
[17:07] <brainwash> Belial, SNA still triggers some visual glitches
[17:08] <elfy> Symbolix: mine looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/5658688/
[17:08] <Symbolix> elfy: ah thanks, looking at it
[17:08] <elfy> Belial: no I'm not
[17:12] <Symbolix> elfy: Added those as well, GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
[17:12] <elfy> oh - those do something entirely different - using those it will boot what you booted last by default
[17:13] <elfy> it was only really to show you the kernel and terminal lines that work here
[17:17] <Symbolix> elfy: I see, ok, still no verbose, just a blank screen
[17:18] <peyam> what is the issue?
[17:19] <Symbolix> peyam: My issue?
[17:19] <peyam> yeah
[17:20] <Symbolix> peyam: I am trying to get Xubuntu 12.04 running on a dual boot MacBook Pro Retina (10,1)
[17:20] <peyam> so?
[17:20] <elfy> Symbolix: not sure - you could add text to where quiet splash were - but then the boot will stop at a terminal and you should need startx to get gui
[17:20] <peyam> adn the issue is?
[17:20] <Symbolix> peyem: I already have some experience in setting these up as I have been using Xubuntu successfully on an iMac
[17:20] <peyam> good
[17:21] <Symbolix> peyam: It is probably the display drivers or something else
[17:21] <Symbolix> as it hangs on start-up
[17:21] <peyam> i still dont know the problem. doesnt it show anything?
[17:21] <Symbolix> with the "splash" option on, I can see the blue Xubuntu splash and the progress bar
[17:22] <Symbolix> then the progress bar dies and then when I hit the power button the progress bar comes back alive and the computer powers down
[17:22] <Symbolix> so it is alive, but hangs at start up
[17:22] <Symbolix> and then probably kills the process successfully cause I can see the progress bar coming back when I hit the power button
[17:23] <Symbolix> I was trying to get a bit of verbose on start up
[17:23] <Symbolix> and elfy already helped me to change my grub file
[17:23] <Symbolix> now I do not have the splash, but no verbose as well
[17:24] <elfy> Symbolix: you could also  boot recovery mode and then resume from that menu- always verbose for me regardless of grub settings
[17:24] <Symbolix> I can just forget about this and try to disable the GFX just to get a default XWindows
[17:24] <Symbolix> to display
[17:25] <Symbolix> I see, I know it is almost there, but it is not happy about something ...
[17:25] <peyam> redo the instalation
[17:25] <peyam> maybe partition fault
[17:25] <peyam> i duno
[17:25] <Symbolix> hmm, I can mount it
[17:25] <Symbolix> the Linux is there
[17:25] <peyam> well. do you have the drives?
[17:26] <Symbolix> the installation was a success...
[17:26] <Symbolix> not yet
[17:26] <peyam> drivers
[17:26] <peyam> install them?
[17:26] <Symbolix> trying to boot into a default XWindows
[17:26] <peyam> with cd live
[17:26] <peyam> hmm
[17:26] <peyam> okej
[17:26] <Symbolix> any idea about how can I roll-back to a default GFX config
[17:27] <Symbolix> just to get a default XWindows running
[17:28] <elfy> recovery mode has an option I think
[17:30] <Symbolix> elfy: I can see only "resume" "clean" "dpkg" "fsck" "network" "root" "system-summary"
[17:30] <elfy> ok - thought there was one - you could try dropping to root terminal and renaming xorg.conf - or try resume
[17:33] <Symbolix> elfy: ok, I have resumed and logged in as root
[17:34] <Symbolix> elfy: I guess I will start looking into being able to run a default XWindows from here
[17:34] <Symbolix> or install the NVidia drivers through the terminal
[17:37] <Symbolix> is it possible to download the latest compatible NVidia drivers to a USB stick and install them on another computer through the terminal?
[17:38] <elfy> no idea - I never need to use the nvidia drivers anymore
[17:39] <elfy> why have you logged in as root? if you're not in a gui - have you tried startx
[17:40] <Belial> brainwash, thanks
[17:44] <Symbolix> elfy: i have added the "noapic" line to prevent a kernel panic, anyway, the strange thing is no matter what I do, I get some verbose, but I also get the Blue Xubuntu start up splash as well
[17:45] <Lehti> hey, anybody know how and to what extent the new bcache technology affects virtual machine performance under KVM?
[18:00] <elfy> Symbolix: you getting anywhere?
[18:03] <Symbolix> elfy: ah thanks for your help
[18:03] <Symbolix> elfy: unfortunatelly no :(
[18:03] <Symbolix> when I try "startx" command
[18:04] <Symbolix> I get Fatal Server Error: no screens found
[18:04] <elfy> nice - I've had that a couple of times in the past
[18:05] <Symbolix> I looked at the log file
[18:05] <Symbolix> but too much information
[18:05] <Symbolix> I need to get a VESA mode XWindows
[18:05] <Symbolix> running
[18:05] <Symbolix> do you know hoe to change the Xorg file
[18:05] <Symbolix> so I get some kind of a default XWindows
[18:05] <Symbolix> ?
[18:06] <elfy> do you have xorg.conf then? I'd start by removing it
[18:06] <Symbolix> where does it live?
[18:07] <elfy> /etc/X11
[18:07] <elfy> you'd need to do it as root
[18:07] <Symbolix> sure, I am root now
[18:07] <elfy> mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.bak
[18:08] <elfy> should rename the thing - then try rebooting = but I have to say I've never dealt with mac booting issues
[18:08] <elfy> hello leoquant
[18:08] <Symbolix> the file is not there
[18:08] <leoquant> hi elfy
[18:09] <elfy> ok - so the machine is booting with default nvidia
[18:12] <Symbolix> or maybe the other Display driver
[18:12] <elfy> you could try GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"
[18:12] <Symbolix> those new Macs have dual displays
[18:12] <elfy> it should use nouveau
[18:12] <Symbolix> ah
[18:12] <Symbolix> I will try that
[18:12] <Symbolix> what is that for?
[18:12] <elfy> not sure lol
[18:13] <elfy> http://askubuntu.com/questions/207175/what-does-nomodeset-do
[18:13] <elfy> I'm getting a bit concerned that all we're doing is digging a deeper hole tbh
[18:14] <Symbolix> I just need to do the following
[18:14] <Symbolix> 1) Make sure my WIFI is working
[18:14] <Symbolix> 2) Install the latest Nvidia drivers
[18:15] <elfy> you'll not do any of that until you can boot it :)
[18:16] <Symbolix> well, I get the terminal
[18:17] <elfy> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2006475
[18:18] <Symbolix> yeah,
[18:18] <Symbolix> exactly I am reading it
[18:18] <Symbolix> but too much information
[18:18] <Symbolix> thanks though
[18:19] <elfy> have you thought about going for a newer version than 12.04?
[18:24] <Symbolix> well
[18:24] <Symbolix> 12.04 is the LTS
[18:24] <Symbolix> right?
[18:24] <elfy> yep
[18:26] <Belial> is 12.04 running 4.8?
[18:26] <elfy> I believe so - though you can get 4.10 with a PPA I think
[18:27] <baizon> to both question, yes
[18:27] <Belial> i'm running 4.10.2 on 13.04 but i might throw it on some computers that are currently running 12.10 - i won't be around them all the time, so upgrading will be an issue when support ends.
[18:27] <Belial> better to just go with an lts.
[18:28] <Belial> then again xubuntu lts is only three years, right?
[18:29] <Symbolix> I will keep trying 12.04
[18:29] <Symbolix> but I am so f*cked now, I am in terminal
[18:29] <Symbolix> and I cannot do anything
[18:29] <Symbolix> I have found a default xorg.conf file
[18:29] <Symbolix> but I am not typing this
[18:30] <Symbolix> how can I copy it from this linux box to the other linux laptop
[18:30] <Symbolix> using USB stick
[18:30] <Symbolix> I need to list and mount a USB stick
[18:30] <Symbolix> using terminal
[18:30] <Unit193> !xorgconf | Why not generate with sudo xorg -configure ?
[18:34] <Symbolix> X -configure
[18:34] <Symbolix> errors: Number of created screens blah blah
[18:34] <Symbolix> Configuration failed
[18:35] <Symbolix> I cannot beleive that I am stuck at such a stupid problem
[18:35] <Unit193> Bah, you too.
[18:36] <Symbolix> I just need to get some kind of a defualt xorg.conf file
[18:36] <Symbolix> so I can run a default XWindows
[18:36] <Symbolix> VESA mode what ever
[18:38] <elfy> have you tried plugging in the usb? see if it mounts - you could copy from that - but I'm not sure it'll help
[18:39] <nyuszika7h> hi, I've set "Debian Sensible Browser" as my default browser, and Chrome as default in update-alternatives + Chrome itself, but every time I log out and log in again, XFCE4 AND Chrome ask me for default browser setting.
[18:39] <nyuszika7h> any way to fix that?
[18:39] <Symbolix> Xorg -configure worked
[18:39] <mark12> hello
[18:40] <elfy> see if it works then Symbolix :)
[18:40] <Symbolix> This will create the file /root/xorg.conf.new, which you can then copy to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:40] <Symbolix> whcih I did
[18:41] <Unit193> nyuszika7h: You check "Preferred Programs" in settings manager, and just disable it in chrome.
[18:41] <elfy> !hi | mark12
[18:41] <nyuszika7h> Unit193: ok, I'll try
[18:42] <mark12> can someone help when i run virtualbox or vmware player my connection shows multipal connections
[18:46] <Symbolix> I am editing the xorg.conf file now, to get some default stuff working
[18:57] <Symbolix> I think I will give up 12.04
[18:57] <Symbolix> it is rediculously painful
[18:57] <Symbolix> no progress at all
[18:57] <Symbolix> Just a blank screen after GRUB
[19:02] <elfy> sorry I couldn't help
[19:14] <Symbolix> hey elfy, no problem :)
[19:14] <Symbolix> you helped enough
[19:14] <Symbolix> removed 12.04
[19:14] <Symbolix> installing 13/04
[19:15] <Symbolix> 13.04
[19:15] <Symbolix> at least I can see the GUI etc
[19:15] <Symbolix> and just completed the install
[19:15] <Symbolix> I am getting XWindows fine now
[19:20] <elfy> good :)
[19:20] <Symbolix> I still need to make the WIFI work
[19:21] <Symbolix> and install the Nvidia drivers
[19:21] <Symbolix> though
[19:22] <elfy> well good luck
[19:26] <Symbolix> How can I download a install package, but just download it and not install it?
[19:26] <Symbolix> So I can copy it accross to a Linux box with no internet connection
[19:26] <Symbolix> and install it there. Thanks.
[19:27] <[uzver]> Symbolix: apt-get install -d pack..name , package will be in /var/cache/apt/archives
[19:30] <Symbolix> thanks uzver
[19:31] <[uzver]> apt-get --help, read if u want to specify download dir

[21:15] <Unit193> !usb
[21:18] <Emif-> usb-creator-gtk is not running on xubuntu
[21:19] <Unit193> You've still got unetbootin or dd to try.
[21:20] <Emif-> whats dd?
[21:22] <TheSheep> it's all documented under those links
[21:30] <Emif-> how to format a usb on xubuntu?
[21:30] <Emif-> because its saying that some files are read only and cannot be deleted
[21:31] <TheSheep> with the usb-creator
[21:31] <Emif-> the package is called usb-creator?
[21:32] <TheSheep> !info usb-creator-gtk
[21:32] <Emif-> oh that didnt work for me
[21:32] <Emif-> it didnt run well on xubuntu
[21:33] <TheSheep> !bugs
[21:33] <TheSheep> works for me
[21:33] <Emif-> just a sec
[21:33] <TheSheep> and I think it's the official way
[21:36] <TheSheep> I see it has quite a lot bugs reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=usb-creator-gtk&search=Search+Bug+Reports&field.scope=project&field.scope.target=ubuntu

[21:37] <Emif-> sorry
[21:38] <TheSheep> hmm, looks like you have some broken python packages
[21:38] <TheSheep> did you do something funny with python?
[21:39] <Emif-> not at all
[21:39] <Emif-> i dont know what python is lol
[21:39] <TheSheep> a programming language in which usb-creator-gtk is written
[21:43] <TheSheep> it looks like you are missing some files for it
[21:43] <TheSheep> but they all come in the same package, so I can't see how you can miss them
