[00:21] <xubuntu776> Hello ALL! I'm a noob t Linux/Xubuntu, and a bit of help. I've been automatically using qBittorrent. Machine borked...reinstalled Xubuntu. NowTransmissionhas taken over as Only Torrent app! I prefer qBittorrent. A lot. How does one set qBit as default torrent app?
[00:23] <Unit193> For one, you can remove transmission, but normally you can right click > open with other application and make it default there.
[00:26] <brainwash> starting with xfce 4.10 there is also the mime type editor to assign a default application to a file type
[00:27] <brainwash> xfce4-mime-settings
[00:28] <xubuntu776> Thanx Unit193...been wrestling with that for a coupla hours ^_^ In Settings Manager the on app choices/select options are about Mail and Browsers. OPen with doesn't work.
[00:28] <xubuntu776> Only.
[00:30] <GridCube> xubuntu776, uninstall transmission, leave qbittorrent as your only torrent manager
[00:31] <xubuntu776> Brainwash thank you too.  do you mean to type "xfce4 - mime - settings " into the terminal?
[00:31] <brainwash> it's "xfce4-mime-settings"
[00:32] <brainwash> from terminal or appfinder (alt+f2)
[00:32] <Unit193> Menu > Settings Manager  has it too of course.
[00:32] <brainwash> or via click in settings manager :)
[00:32] <xubuntu776> Gridcube...now that sounds like something that'll work.
[00:33] <xubuntu776> Hold on Hold on I tryin' now!
[00:35] <xubuntu776> I'm looking for an easy uninstall move now. Somewhere in Ubuntu Software Center?
[00:36] <GridCube> yes, or simply do sudo apt-get purge transmission-gtk
[00:38] <xubuntu776> I've gotta say toothat I played with Linux Live cds for years.Finally XP crashed and burned a month ago. Wiped drive, full install Xubuntu. I REALLY likin' it. Shoulda done this years ago! Just sayin'
[00:40] <brainwash> my XP machine is still runing.. since 2002 :)
[00:41] <xubuntu776> Thank you Everyone. Also I'll probably become a visitor here on irc chat. I've mostly been a lurker, not a participant. Again thanx.
[00:42] <xubuntu776> Brainwash. Since '02!? Tremendous.
[00:43] <brainwash> it used to be my gaming system
[00:45] <brainwash> it's pretty impressive, nowadays everyone seems to reinstall ubuntu-based systems on a daily base :D
[00:46] <xubuntu776> I've used my Windows boxes as media aquisition, listening/veiwing machines. You get used to stuff. I think I'm enjoying this Linux thing ;>)
[00:47] <brainwash> yea, there is so much to discover, so much to learn
[00:48] <brainwash> so many possibilities.. and a great community :)
[00:49] <brainwash> and finally even some (more) games -> steam
[00:49] <xubuntu776> I'd kinda gotten my Xubuntu setup ...ok. Then...WTF. Start over. Next move is learn more about cloning my primary partition/drive. I be around leaning on the expertise here!
[00:49] <xubuntu776> I'm seeing...a great community!
[05:16] <seronis> Q:   SettingsManager -> WindowManager -> Advanced -> WindowAction   seems to be getting ignored.  I have it set to maximize windows but when double clicking a titlebar the window just blinks and remains unchanged
[05:17] <seronis> any suggestions on what might cause that ?
[06:43] <bullgard4> seronis: I have no idea about the cause. But please read ~/.xsession-errors for a clue.

[08:27] <xubuntu422> After installing an AMD driver for my video card(Trying) and then rebooting my computer my comuter will no longer boot, it will only bring up a shell prompt, how do I get into linux?
[08:28] <acerimmer_> !nomodeset|xubuntu422,
[08:28] <ubottu> xubuntu422,: 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
[08:29] <well_laid_lawn> sounds like there's no xorg.conf for the ati driver to read - you can log into the tty and check the X log
[08:30] <xubuntu422> How do I create or download the xlog?
[08:31] <xubuntu422> xorg?
[08:32] <xubuntu422> with !nomodeset I get "event not found"
[08:32] <well_laid_lawn> there should be an app called   ati-config   you can run from the tty

[16:31] <nicetrynsa_> I'm having trouble installing xubuntu on my HDD.  I've got some unallocated space on a second HDD which is not showing up in the installer.  Any idea on how to get it to do so?
[16:32] <holstein> i would test the hardware, and see that the bios sees it
[16:32] <nicetrynsa_> It does
[16:32] <nicetrynsa_> The HDD shows up, but unallocated space doesn't to Xubuntu
[16:33] <holstein> nicetrynsa_: you see it in the terminal if you run "sudo fdisk -l" ?
[16:34] <nicetrynsa_> This is the output I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5755388/
[16:35] <holstein> nicetrynsa_: i see 3 devices there.. is the hard drive in question one of those?
[16:36] <nicetrynsa_> I'm assuming.  I'm running it (right not) off a USB stick, I have two hard drives (one with Win8, the other is the one in question)
[16:37] <holstein> nicetrynsa_: i would do whatever you need to make sure you are *not* assuming anything.. but if you see the hard drive there, then xubuntu *is* seeing it
[16:37] <nicetrynsa_> But not the unallocated space
[16:37] <nicetrynsa_> It sees the drive as a whole, when I know that there is ~127gb unallocated
[16:38] <holstein> nicetrynsa_: i would go on a partition.. make an ext4 partition and swap and just use them
[16:41] <gits1225> Which is the xfce version in xubuntu 12.04 LTS?
[16:42] <nicetrynsa_> The installer isn't letting me do anything to the drive
[16:42] <holstein> nicetrynsa_: sure.. i would manually create the partitions i need before using the installer
[16:42] <nicetrynsa_> Using fdisk?
[16:42] <holstein> nicetrynsa_: i use gparted
[16:43] <holstein> !info xfce
[16:43] <ubottu> Package xfce does not exist in raring
[16:43] <TheSheep> xfce4
[16:44] <holstein> TheSheep: do you know what version?
[16:44] <TheSheep> !info xfce4
[16:44] <ubottu> xfce4 (source: xfce4): Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.10.0 (raring), package size 4 kB, installed size 31 kB
[16:44] <nicetrynsa_> gparted isn't allowing any operations http://i.imgur.com/wDT8YBx.png
[16:45] <holstein> gits1225: i see xfce4 4.8.0.3 in my ubuntu 12.04 installation
[16:45] <gits1225> ty holstein
[16:46] <holstein> nicetrynsa_: i would test and wipe that drive, and repartition it for an installation, then run the partitioner
[16:46] <holstein> nicetrynsa_: xubuntu *is* seeing it.. so is gparted..
[16:47] <gits1225> nicetrynsa_, did you start gparted with super user permissions?
[16:47] <nicetrynsa_> yes
[16:47] <gits1225> When you try to delete the partition, what does it say?
[16:47] <holstein> nicetrynsa_: i would be using gparted from a live CD
[16:47] <nicetrynsa_> I am on a live usb
[16:48] <holstein> nicetrynsa_: share the error message that gits1225 is seeking
[16:48] <nicetrynsa_> not getting any error message when I try to delete it
[16:48] <holstein> nicetrynsa_: what is happening then?
[16:49] <nicetrynsa_> I have absolutely no clue
[16:49] <gits1225> Can you show a screenshot after you try to delete a partition?
[16:49] <nicetrynsa_> yeah, 1 sec
[16:54] <gits1225> Something went wrong I guess

[18:23] <Guest55375> hello, has anybody tried to install instalation cd of xubuntu 13.04 on usb? I tried with unetbootin, but system want to start from usb. When i tried ver 12.10 , no problems..
[18:27] <holstein> Guest55375: whats the issue?
[18:28] <Guest55375> notebook want to boot , when i make bootable usb from iso image xubuntu 13.04
[18:29] <Guest55375> but , when i make bootable usb from 12.10 iso,  no problem to boot live cd..
[18:30] <holstein> Guest55375: i have booted 13.04 using a live CD usb stick make with unetbootin.. whats the issue?
[18:30] <Guest55375> which version of unetbootin?
[18:31] <Guest55375> i think, that is problem in iso, which i downloaded, where can i fing md5 sum?
[18:31] <holstein> Guest55375: various versions.. the stock one in the 12.04 repos as of recent.. what is the issue for you? what fails? how? what error messages? are you able to boot to the live CD?
[18:31] <holstein> !md5
[18:31] <ubottu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[18:35] <Guest55375> ok , i tried  md5sum.exe, it writes FAILED open or read
[18:36] <Guest55375> to many files, it means, that iso was wrong downloaded?
[18:36] <holstein> Guest55375: no
[18:36] <holstein> Guest55375: it means just what it said.. "failed to open or read"
[18:37] <holstein> Guest55375: i usually just generate an md5 of the iso, and compare to the one on the site
[18:37] <Guest55375> C:\Users\asus\Downloads>md5sum.exe -c xubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.iso md5sum.exe:     101 restricted/binary-i386/Release: No such file or directory     101 restricted/binary-i386/Release: FAILED open or read md5sum.exe:    1524 restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz: No such file or director y
[18:38] <Guest55375> and in the end "md5sum.exe: WARNING: 65 of 65 listed files could not be read"
[18:38] <holstein> Guest55375: you'll need to install an md5 sum generator.. you'll point it to the iso file, it'll give you a sum.. you compare that sum
[18:39] <holstein> Guest55375: you are talkming about the md5sum.exe file though
[18:39] <holstein> Guest55375: you are not doing it correctly.. you'll install an md5 sum generator.. for windows, since i assume you are in windows
[18:42] <Guest55375> md5 checksums are different :D
[18:42] <Guest55375> how is it posible, i downloaded via torrent..
[18:42] <Guest55375> ?
[18:42] <holstein> Guest55375: so, thats a great place to start.. i would re download the iso, and go from there
[18:43] <Guest55375> i can download alternate iso, what is it?
[18:44] <well_laid_lawn> !alternate
[18:44] <ubottu> The alternate CD has been discontinued for the main Ubuntu distro, please use and report any bugs in the !LiveCD

[20:16] <WeberEInc> Hello - Am I correct in understanding that the current version of Xubuntu no longer fits on a CD-ROM?  I was hoping to use it as a replacement for older machines which still work but may not have a DVD player....
[20:16] <Sysi> you can use newest LTS 12.04
[20:16] <Sysi> if they won't boot from USB
[20:17] <WeberEInc> Sysi: Yes, they won't boot from USB, but moving forward from 12.04, will they always be bigger than a CD from now on?
[20:18] <holstein> WeberEInc: the current one says its bigger.. i wouldnt imagine it getting smaller
[20:18] <holstein> !minimal | WeberEInc
[20:18] <ubottu> WeberEInc: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want.  The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[20:18] <holstein> you can always use that and add what you like.. or roll your own live CD's
[20:18] <Sysi> the issues that make the CD big should disappear at some point though
