| xubuntu100 | I have tried to do the sudo command and it keeps telling me to check my internet connection | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu100 | please help | 00:01 |
| secret_ninja | ill try to help. | 00:02 |
| secret_ninja | have you tried to sudo su and run the command manually? | 00:02 |
| holstein | xubuntu100: just remember, nothing is preventing netflix from allowing you to run netflix on ubuntu | 00:13 |
| holstein | there are ways to use it.. | 00:13 |
| holstein | as Unit193 gave you.. | 00:13 |
| holstein | !netflix | 00:13 |
| ubottu | If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop | 00:13 |
| xubuntu100 | i have tried to sudo command and it tells me to checfk my internet connection | 00:14 |
| holstein | xubuntu100: its a work around.. it doesnt have to work | 00:15 |
| Unit193 | Did you try checking it from the command line? dig google.com ping google.com, etc? | 00:16 |
| xubuntu100 | what do you mean it | 00:16 |
| holstein | xubuntu100: what do i do? i just have a roku box | 00:16 |
| holstein | xubuntu100: i also run it on an android device.. | 00:16 |
| holstein | xubuntu100: i would use netflix where they say you can, and its supported.. otherwise, its going to be a work around getting it running on somehting that its not supported on | 00:17 |
| xubuntu100 | i tried yesterday to do it but it was asking for the persons code who installed it my computer he told me to re install on computer and it today its saying in the to check my internet | 00:20 |
| xubuntu100 | on the command | 00:20 |
| holstein | xubuntu100: again, its not supported, so you'll need to just fiddle with it til it works | 00:20 |
| xubuntu100 | im new to this | 00:21 |
| holstein | i would just search and see what there is | 00:21 |
| holstein | http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/how-to-get-netflix-streaming-on-ubuntu-1210/4019 | 00:21 |
| holstein | xubuntu100: i understand, and what you are trying to do is not only not trivial, or easy for a newcomer, but totally unsupported | 00:21 |
| holstein | xubuntu100: make sure you let netlix know that you would appreciate them supporting the operating system you are using, and try remvoving all your settings and configs, and redo the setup | 00:22 |
| th3pr0ph3t | ah... Netflix. I use a virtualbox instead of the compholio wine version because I get black screen all the time. | 00:28 |
| th3pr0ph3t | And I don't reboot on windows because in windows only 2 of the 5.1 speakers have sound :/ | 00:28 |
| th3pr0ph3t | So, it works better on linux even with emulation ;) | 00:29 |

| croppa | my volume control button has gone missing off the top panel. How can I get it back? | 06:54 |
| croppa | I am using 13.04 | 06:55 |
| Deepfriedice | croppa, If you're still here: | 07:52 |
| Deepfriedice | Volume control is provided by the deamon "xfce4-volumed" and shown on the "Indicator Plugin". | 07:52 |
| Deepfriedice | To add "Indicator Plugin" right click on the top panel > Panel > Panel Preferences > Items. Now check if there is a "Indicator Plugin" If not, click the plus icon, then select "Indicator Plugin" and click add. | 07:52 |
| Deepfriedice | You can check if "xfce4-volumed" is running in the task manager, To restart it, press alt+F2 then enter "xfce4-volumed" without the quotes and hit run. | 07:52 |
| croppa | Deepfriedice: Thank you very much. That worked . Somehow I must have deleted the indicator plugin. | 07:55 |
| Deepfriedice | No problem, sorry for not checking earlier. | 07:56 |
| croppa | Thats OK You are a great help | 07:56 |
| croppa | That is one of the many things I like about the Linux community | 07:58 |

| dixoncidre | hello | 09:15 |
| dixoncidre | I have a question related to ubuntu 13.04 which i can't seem to get it working right on my machine because it fails to install the graphic drivers. Ill create a post for this soon just thought someone may be able to help me on the spot because he might have had the same problem | 09:17 |
| dixoncidre | i have an old ati radeon x700 pro grafik card.. okay thats very old but i never had any problems with it and windows7 run very smooth with it now | 09:18 |
| dixoncidre | i have converted to ubuntu 13.04 version but it is sooo lagging and slow it really isn't an enjoyable experience for me really so i checked an there are no graphic driver installed for my grafic card and by browsing this forum I believe this is the reason why Ubuntu is not working correctly. Well I sure went through any thread here about thsi problem and the wiki and tried really anything to get it to work manuall installation | 09:20 |
| dixoncidre | hat the amd homepage (linux version) fails to install because 'its not compatible' ?? | 09:20 |
| Deepfriedice | Yeah, Old ATI graphics cards are basicaly a "no-go" on Linux. | 09:21 |
| dixoncidre | the repositories install well it downloads and installs the drivers but.. when i try to set the xorg.conf file (which was non existant to begin with) it says there are no suitebal adapters to be found | 09:22 |
| Deepfriedice | yeah. | 09:22 |
| dixoncidre | and when i reebot well i can login normally but all i get is a blank screen | 09:22 |
| dixoncidre | ouch.. is that so ? | 09:22 |
| dixoncidre | dammit | 09:23 |
| Deepfriedice | If you make a post on the fourum someone might be able to help you to some degree, but I would have high expectations. | 09:23 |
| dixoncidre | i dont want to be stuck with windows | 09:23 |
| Deepfriedice | Sorry. | 09:23 |
| dixoncidre | ahww okay thank you deepfrieedice | 09:23 |
| dixoncidre | just out of curiosity why is it that the 12.04 installation wont even load ? | 09:23 |
| dixoncidre | ohh and maybe i have a grapics chip on my mainboard.. it's nvidia you think i might have more succes trying that one ? | 09:24 |
| Deepfriedice | Yes, that sounds better. But first look at this, it sounds a bit more hopeful: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsAti | 09:24 |
| dixoncidre | ive already been to that site | 09:25 |
| dixoncidre | if X server does not start with driver "Ati" (first boot) change it to "vesa" and then follow the instructions on BinaryDriverHowto. On some manufacturer's cards (I think Abit, a red card) openGL doesn't work, gdb says crash happens in the driver. | 09:25 |
| dixoncidre | well my card is red.. soo still how to i change it to vesa ? | 09:26 |
| dixoncidre | plus i followed the tutorial on binarydriverhowto | 09:26 |
| dixoncidre | didnt work but maybe because i didnt change it to vesa first *fingerscrossed* ? | 09:26 |
| Deepfriedice | I have no idea. Sorry that I can't help more. | 09:27 |
| dixoncidre | no no dont worry you already helped me out more than i could actually hope for thank you so much !! | 09:28 |
| dixoncidre | you really gave me new perspective on how it might work if i switch to my crappy nvidea chip :P | 09:29 |
| dixoncidre | just for the future if i were to get a new system.. which grafic card works better with linux because i actually like ATI | 09:30 |
| Deepfriedice | New AMD("ATI") is fine, but Nvidia is a better bet under Linux. | 09:37 |
| Deepfriedice | Intel Graphics will work flawlessly though. | 09:38 |

| neorosbob | HI all, I'm stuck with a static route issue on a bonded interface. Can anyone see what I am missing here? http://pastebin.com/EZJtWwtY | 16:03 |
| holstein | neorosbob: i would seek help in other potentially more busy/helpful venues.. that issue is not xubuntu specific | 16:05 |
| secret_ninja | neorosbob: whats the problem? | 16:10 |
| secret_ninja | lemme look | 16:10 |
| secret_ninja | just saw link | 16:10 |
| secret_ninja | way past me | 16:14 |
| holstein | its more a question for a server channel.. #ubuntu-server, though its slow in there.. its not something typical for a desktop operating system.. its not XFCE or xubuntu specific | 16:18 |
| timbermaniac | secret_ninja: I'm going to ask a dumb question, but in the first configuration, you're not able to reach .82 or .83? | 16:23 |
| timbermaniac | I mean neorosbob | 16:24 |
| luk01 | I managed to boot Xubuntu 12.10 from a btrfs-converted ext4 root filesystem, I can give you info, if you wish. | 17:02 |
| holstein | luk01: who info on what? | 17:02 |
| luk01 | I thought if anyone wants to do the same, I can help. | 17:02 |
| bekks | luk01: Then submit your knowledge in a wiki article please :) | 17:30 |
| luk01 | bekks: I'd like to add a section in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs but at the top I see that I cannot edit the page | 17:40 |
| luk01 | thanks for the idea though | 17:40 |
| luk01 | I'll definitely apply it to other things that I learn | 17:40 |
| holstein | luk01: do you see "login to edit"? or are you having login issues? | 17:41 |
| luk01 | I just registered and logged in | 17:41 |
| holstein | luk01: do you see "edit" when logged in? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UserDocumentation ? | 17:43 |
| luk01 | I see "Pagina non alterabile" which means "Non-alterable page" | 17:45 |
| luk01 | Next to it, I see Page History and Allegati (attachments) | 17:46 |
| holstein | luk01: you can read here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide ..or ask upstream, or ask someone else to edit it.. i can edit it | 17:46 |
| luk01 | Ok, I am writing | 17:58 |
| bekks | luk01: you could create another article. | 18:07 |
| luk01 | holstein: would you be so kind to edit it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5723753/ Thanks! | 18:26 |
| luk01 | bekks: I'm not allowed to create a page | 18:26 |
| bekks | luk01: You can create one in the community area I guess :) | 18:27 |
| luk01 | No, it says "Non è consentito modificare questa pagina." which means that | 18:28 |
| holstein | luk01: where do you want that to go? | 18:32 |
| holstein | luk01: under "managing" ? | 18:32 |
| holstein | what is it called? | 18:32 |
| holstein | converting to btrfs from ext4 ? | 18:33 |
| luk01 | in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs in a new section called Converting Ubuntu 12.10 ext4 root filesystem | 18:33 |
| luk01 | I haven't tested it on other versions | 18:33 |
| holstein | luk01: what do you want me to add? where? | 18:34 |
| holstein | luk01: i'll do it, but you must understand, i know only what i know about btrfs.. which is, it hasnt worked for me in testing, so i dont use it | 18:34 |
| holstein | luk01: try and give me specifics about where you want it to be | 18:35 |
| holstein | and what you want it to be called | 18:35 |
| holstein | i'll call it "Converting Ubuntu 12.10 ext4 root filesystem" | 18:35 |
| holstein | and put it under? a new heading? | 18:35 |
| luk01 | Sure, I understand it. | 18:35 |
| luk01 | Under a new heading, between current points 4 and 5 | 18:36 |
| luk01 | It would be new point 5 | 18:36 |
| luk01 | at the same level as "Install as Root on earlier versions" and "Managing Btrfs" | 18:37 |
| holstein | luk01: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs | 18:44 |
| holstein | luk01: we go to #ot channel to discuss, if necessary | 18:45 |
| luk01 | holstein: thank you! Yes, please join #ot | 18:48 |
| luk01 | I'll ask here: please, make consecutive lines appear as separate lines | 18:51 |
| luk01 | for example, "# # Check the filesystem for errors. # fsck.ext4 /dev/sda1" this is made up of 2 lines in the original, please separate them | 18:51 |
| luk01 | thanks | 18:51 |
| luk01 | I do not know the wiki markup syntax, so I thought a single newline would have been sufficient | 18:52 |
| luk01 | :p | 18:52 |
| luk01 | holstein: ^^ | 18:55 |
| holstein | luk01: sure.. but, now im looking at commands, and determing what is what.. and i dont know *anything* about btrfs | 18:59 |
| holstein | so, i'll just edit it. and you /join #xubuntu-offtopic ..not #ot | 19:00 |
| luk01 | holstein: I do, feel free to ask me everything | 19:00 |
| _Dirk_ | anyone home? | 19:46 |
| knome | !anyone | _Dirk_ | 19:47 |
| ubottu | _Dirk_: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 19:47 |
| _Dirk_ | lol | 19:47 |
| _Dirk_ | ok so i just put xubuntu on my machine thru ubuntu via the terminal tasksel... and everything worked fine... now i'm trying to install the auido editing suite and it's giving me xserver-xorginstall tasksel: aptitude failed (100) | 19:48 |
| _Dirk_ | can i run sudo apt-get Audio recording and editing suite | 19:51 |
| _Dirk_ | instead? | 19:52 |
| _Dirk_ | this room is a graveyard | 19:53 |
| knome | !patience | _Dirk_ | 19:53 |
| ubottu | _Dirk_: 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/ | 19:53 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: there is no application by that name | 19:53 |
| _Dirk_ | are you both bots? | 19:54 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: there are ubuntutsudio meta packages.. open a package manager and search for ubuntustudio, or search for just the applications you want | 19:54 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: sudo apt-get install audacity for exmaple | 19:54 |
| knome | _Dirk_, guess. | 19:54 |
| holstein | !volunteers | _Dirk_ | 19:54 |
| ubottu | _Dirk_: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 19:54 |
| _Dirk_ | id ask in #ubuntu where ive been getting quick reliable responses but, i know someone will just say "xubuntu isnt the platform for this room go to the #Xubuntu rooms" | 19:56 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: what are you searching for? | 19:56 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: here is a quick and reliable answer from a volunteer who is a member of the ubuntustudio team | 19:56 |
| _Dirk_ | well i'm not being rude, sorry if i'm coming accrosed that way;.... i'm just hyper today | 19:57 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: search for "ubuntustudio" in a package manager, and read carefully the information about the meta packages | 19:57 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: what are you looking for? | 19:57 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: as an audio professional using linux, and a member of the ubuntustudio team, i suggest insatlling audacity and starting there | 19:58 |
| holstein | most of the applications in the larger ubuntustudio metapackges use and require JACK audio.. and JACK is not trivial to setup.. nor necessary for most casual audio tasks | 19:59 |
| _Dirk_ | im want to try this audio suite that ubuntu offers... i don't really like audacity but if it comes down to it i'll just find something on the software center. i just want to explore this audio suite distro | 19:59 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: to specifically answer your question .. the command "sudo apt-get Audio recording and editing suite" is not a command.. its a mistake.. it will not do anything | 19:59 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: you can use the ubuntustudio live CD and explore all you want.. otherwise, eleborate as to what you want/need, or search for "ubuntustudio" in a package manager and decide for yourself.. | 20:00 |
| holstein | i suggest using the live CD to see what JACK is like, and if you want/need it.. or all the applications in the suite of audio applications | 20:02 |
| _Dirk_ | i was going to try the dynebolic-3.0.0- distro does anyone anything about it? | 20:02 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: i have used it.. its ot in this channel.. its out of date.. the software in ubuntustudio live will be quite similar, just up to date version of it | 20:03 |
| knome | _Dirk_, this isn't really the channel to ask about that. | 20:03 |
| holstein | versions* | 20:03 |
| holstein | also, if has the JACK requirement.. which again, you likely dont need.. | 20:04 |
| _Dirk_ | well i put xubuntu on my machine because video is lagging in ubuntu so i was hopeing that a lighter distro would solve that problem, but unfortanatly it hasn't... my pci video card stopped working and my the video card on the motherboard is super old | 20:05 |
| holstein | !nomodeset | _Dirk_ | 20:06 |
| ubottu | _Dirk_: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 20:06 |
| _Dirk_ | what exactly is jack. and what are the system requirements? | 20:06 |
| holstein | or, force the vesa driver.. might be a nice option.. | 20:06 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: supported hardware.. bascially is the requirement | 20:07 |
| holstein | !info jack | 20:07 |
| ubottu | jack (source: jack): Rip and encode CDs with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1.1+cvs20050801-29 (raring), package size 105 kB, installed size 458 kB | 20:07 |
| holstein | hmmm. thats not it | 20:07 |
| holstein | !proaudio | 20:07 |
| ubottu | For information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro | 20:07 |
| _Dirk_ | what is vesa driver? | 20:08 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: a driver that would be more approprieat for the hardware you mentioned above that you are having trouble with.. the older grahpics card | 20:08 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/63264/unsupported-video-chipset-how-do-i-force-low-graphics-mode | 20:09 |
| _Dirk_ | should i google it or can i get it thru terminal, or ? | 20:09 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: you have it.. its a matter of configuring... and the link above is an option.. or the one above that | 20:09 |
| _Dirk_ | ok well i opened all those links in different tabs..... so i'll come back after i read up on this stuff | 20:12 |
| _Dirk_ | by the way, thanx for the help guys | 20:12 |
