| Potynho | Anyone? | 05:15 |
| holstein | Potynho: its in the menu | 05:16 |
| Potynho | But | 05:16 |
| holstein | Potynho: "install guest additions" ..it'll go and download the iso.. you mount it, and navigate to it.. and run the install.sh or whatever the install is | 05:16 |
| holstein | OR, you can get it from the repos now AFAIK... | 05:16 |
| Potynho | The vbox turn my screen black screen | 05:16 |
| Potynho | on installation | 05:17 |
| holstein | turn your screen black screen? | 05:17 |
| holstein | Potynho: guest additions is for the performance of the guest | 05:17 |
| Potynho | but with this i can turn the real fullscreen | 05:18 |
| holstein | Potynho: what host and guest are you trying to set up? | 05:18 |
| Potynho | the video drive | 05:18 |
| Potynho | host = windows | 05:18 |
| Potynho | guest = Voyager Linux 13.04 | 05:19 |
| holstein | Potynho: ask in a voyager support channel | 05:19 |
| Potynho | but on installation says to me to use this IRC | 05:19 |
| holstein | Potynho: otherwise, any ubuntu version should "just work".. | 05:19 |
| holstein | Potynho: you are not using xubuntu, however | 05:19 |
| Potynho | shit | 05:20 |
| holstein | Potynho: anyway, the instructions should be similar | 05:20 |
| holstein | !language | Potynho | 05:20 |
| ubottu | Potynho: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 05:20 |
| Potynho | Oooh | 05:20 |
| Potynho | sorry | 05:20 |
| holstein | Potynho: http://virtualboxes.org/doc/installing-guest-additions-on-ubuntu/ for example | 05:20 |
| Potynho | i need update the apt | 05:21 |
| Potynho | hmmm | 05:21 |
| holstein | Potynho: you should download xubuntu, and follow the guide | 05:22 |
| holstein | otherwise, as voyager support if the guide desnt work in voyager.. i dont use voyager, and its not supported here | 05:22 |
| Potynho | but my iso are voyagerand says its xubuntu | 05:22 |
| Potynho | LOL | 05:22 |
| holstein | Potynho: its not xubuntu though.. and its not able to be supported here | 05:22 |
| Potynho | ok, thanks | 05:23 |
| holstein | Potynho: you or i can get the xubuntu iso and change it and make our own customized version, as voyager has done.. but its not supported here | 05:23 |
| holstein | the guid i gave should work with *any* debian/ubuntu based | 05:23 |
| holstein | guide* | 05:23 |
| holstein | Potynho: if it doesnt, i literally have no way of knowing, since i dont use voyager.. and this is not a voyager support channel | 05:24 |
| Potynho | Hey, do u know a distro Linux to an PC with 256 MB Ram with Installation Interface? | 05:24 |
| Noskcaj | Potynho, xubuntu might work, lubuntu will work | 05:24 |
| Noskcaj | especially if you can go to lubuntu 13.10, which includes zRAM | 05:24 |
| holstein | !lubuntu | 05:25 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 05:25 |
| Potynho | Thanks holstein | 05:40 |
| Potynho | bye | 05:44 |
| finca_xubuntu | I’m using Xubuntu 12.04, and I’m coming across an issue when I try to use the Screenshot function. In particular, when I try to capture a part of the screen, the desktop becomes practically opaque and I can barely see the area I was trying to select. Is there a way to modify the opacity for this function, to make it more transparent or remove the filter entirely? | 10:34 |

| karen_ | Hi, I was talking to a few people on Ubuntu. I put Xubuntu 12.04, the one that is supported for 5 years on my old PC Pavillion dv6000 about four months ago. It has been working like a champ, but recently, it has had trouble loading up quickly. I don't know if it's the updates that I've been keeping up with, or just a glitch in my computer not wanting to load Xubuntu up. After the bios, it says, "press any key to continue..". I do, but n | 20:10 |
| karen_ | othing works. Finally, after some long seconds, it will load up Xubuntu and the log in page. What does anyone think of this? | 20:10 |
| genii | That sounds more like bios issue like it finding SMART issue with HD, or no mouse/keyboard plugged in, etc | 20:49 |
| karen_ | When I loaded up Xubuntu 12,04 instead of windows on my old pc, it would load right up fast. It has been taking longer to load up to the log in page now, way over a minute. There is also a black screen after the bio load that says on the top left corner, "press any key to continue.." That wasn't there in the beginning. Do you think it is the updates that is doing this, or should I put my burned Xubuntu CD back in and load it up again? I | 21:08 |
| karen_ | t has been running great for about4 months now, but is taking way longer to turn on. What does anyone think? | 21:08 |
| karen_ | Would updates mess with your settings that you did in the beginning to Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flashplayer, or is that just an online thing? | 21:10 |
| bekks | karen_: Its not windows. No need to reinstall after a few months. | 21:12 |
| karen_ | hummm what do you think it is that is making my computer take so long to load up to the log in page? | 21:12 |
| bekks | karen_: A computer with a BIOS needs about 30s after turning it pn to just pass the bios. | 21:13 |
| karen_ | oh.... any other ideas? | 21:13 |
| karen_ | after the bios, it takes a good 30 sec. or more at that page that says, "press any button to continue...". | 21:16 |
| bekks | karen_: Then do not press anything, since thats a filesystem check most likely, which needs to run regularly. | 21:18 |
| bekks | karen_: It will take a few minutes only. | 21:18 |
| karen_ | oh that just started coming up. It never gave me that black screen with that at the top. I had been liking how fast my computer had been turning on until recently. | 21:19 |
| karen_ | Maybe all the updates is been getting? | 21:20 |
| bekks | No. Dont press anything and just let that screen (and the filesystem check) pass. | 21:21 |
| karen_ | o.k. what do you think is the cause for the difference in the starting time? Maybe it decided it needed a file check just recently. | 21:22 |
| bekks | I just told you. Its the filesystem check that needs to be done. | 21:22 |
| bekks | And every filesystem is checked regularly by default. And now its time - so your computer decided to actually do it. | 21:23 |
| karen_ | o.k. I was just saying this is a new thing, the last 10 times of turning it on maybe. | 21:23 |
| David-A | karen_: if it is doing a file system check it will say so, and it is okay. if the "press any key" is in the upper left, there is probably some problem. | 21:23 |
| bekks | The filesystem check happens about every 20-30 boots by default. | 21:23 |
| bekks | So in the last 10 boots, you wont have noticed it. | 21:24 |
| karen_ | It's not saying it's doing a file check. | 21:24 |
| karen_ | After the bio boot, it gives a black screen with "press any key to continue...', but like bekks says, maybe that is a file check even though it doesn't say so?? | 21:25 |
| karen_ | What other problem could it be? | 21:26 |
| bekks | Some grub error. | 21:26 |
| karen_ | Is that not important? | 21:26 |
| David-A | karen_: when you eventually can log in, check the health status of the harddisk (s.m.a.r.t status) | 21:27 |
| bekks | A SMART error will not cause grub to say "press any key...". | 21:28 |
| karen_ | so, I go to the terminal and write in s.m.a.r.t status ? | 21:28 |
| karen_ | I'm new to linux | 21:29 |
| David-A | karen_: DiskUtility in the system menu. or maybe it has a new name now. | 21:29 |
| karen_ | don't see that | 21:30 |
| bekks | !smartctl | 21:31 |
| bekks | hmm. | 21:31 |
| karen_ | so I go to the terminal and write in what ? | 21:32 |
| bekks | karen_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools | 21:32 |
| karen_ | k thanks guys | 21:34 |
| David-A | karen_: you can install and use smartctl in the terminal, but if you can find DiskUtility, it is much easier to use | 21:34 |
| karen_ | where is DiskUtility? | 21:34 |
| karen_ | I look around | 21:35 |
| karen_ | I'm not using a disk. I loaded Xubuntu over windows on my computer. | 21:36 |
| karen_ | does that matter? | 21:36 |
| David-A | karen_: do you mean you installed by Wubi? or running it in a virtual machine on a windows host? | 21:39 |
| David-A | karen_: seems DiskUtility is not installed by default in Xubuntu 12.04. you can easily find it and install it in Software Center. | 21:40 |

| karen_ | I just burned Xubuntu onto a CD from another computer and stuck it into my not working PC that had windows and loaded it over everything. I have loved it so far for about 4 months, but I'm having trouble now with it coming on so slow.. | 21:41 |
| karen_ | oh, I see what you said about installing it from Software Center. So I install it and what then/ | 21:42 |
| karen_ | but I'm not using a disk. does that matter? | 21:42 |
| David-A | karen_: if you installed it on a PC you should be using a disk. what do you mean not using a disk? do you mean ssd (which counts as a disk here, even if it's not)? do you run it in a virtual machine? | 21:54 |
| dbolton | When I Alt+Middle click a window it dismisses/minimizes the window. Is there a way to turn off this behavior? | 22:28 |
| dbolton | I'm using an application that uses the same shortcut | 22:29 |
| dbolton | (Editing automation data in Ardour) | 22:30 |
| dbolton | I only see keyboard shortcuts in the Xfce settings windows. | 22:34 |
