| VicariousToast | Hi, could someone please tell me how to uninstall Xubuntu? I want to do a complete reinstallation of Xubuntu and Windows XP. | 01:44 |
|---|---|---|
| cfhowlett | VicariousToast, dual booting or wubi? | 01:45 |
| VicariousToast | Dual Booting | 01:45 |
| cfhowlett | VicariousToast, best way is not reinstall XP (!) then do ubuntu. Format the whole disk in windows and get that done then do the buntu | 01:46 |
| VicariousToast | I'm not sure I understand. I guess reinstalling Windows XP was the wrong phrase, I will be using the recovery disc that came with the laptop. So do I boot from that and let it wipe the hard drive? In other words, I simply have to let the recovery disc wipe the hard drive, correct? | 01:49 |
| cfhowlett | VicariousToast, yes. you are aware that XP will finally reach end of life quite soon? | 01:50 |
| VicariousToast | Yeah, I will be getting a newer computer sometime within the next year or so. I just have to save up the money first. | 01:51 |
| VicariousToast | Also, thank you for the help :D | 01:51 |
| cfhowlett | VicariousToast, I'm guessing that you're running and older system? you might find that lubuntu or xubuntu give you more pep in your step than ubuntu does. | 01:51 |
| VicariousToast | Yeah, it's a Toshiba Satellite M45-S331. It's gotta be at least 9 years old now. I got it for $50 though, so for the price I think it was a pretty decent deal. | 01:52 |
| cfhowlett | VicariousToast, agreed. and take a good look at xubuntu and lubuntu. They're optimized for older/lower specification machines such as yours. Ubuntu is not. | 01:53 |
| VicariousToast | Oh, and I meant to say Xubuntu earlier, not Ubuntu. Xubuntu is what I am currently using. | 01:53 |
| cfhowlett | VicariousToast, nice. I suggest you go with the LTS release ... 12.04 | 01:53 |
| VicariousToast | Yeah, I think that's the version I have on a CD-R Disc | 01:54 |
| cfhowlett | VicariousToast, verrrry nice. have fun. | 01:54 |
| VicariousToast | Thanks again :) | 01:55 |
| cfhowlett | VicariousToast, have fun and be safe. | 01:55 |
| BoF | anyone can help me for install a proxy on my xubuntu? | 02:03 |

| Unit193 | I've used polipo with tor, but there are other options too like squid, privoxy (not the right name, close), etc. | 02:04 |

| bibi_ | or do I have to do more? | 05:13 |
| BoF | yep its all | 05:14 |

| braulio | Hello guys, I use Xubuntu 13.04 and I'm trying to configure on my international keyboard the ABNT keyboard. I read a tutorial that said that I should edit the file "~/.bashrc" and add to the last line "setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us_intl". Which worked great. The only thing that I notice is that everytime I reboot the system it goes back to the ABNT for a Portuguese keyboard (not international), and I have to open the terminal and close it in order to | 14:34 |
| braulio | make it work again (I don't even have to do anything, just open and close). Is there any way to "fix" this? | 14:34 |
| knome | braulio, did you try using the languages tool in settings manager to change the layout? | 14:41 |
| braulio | knome: Hey man, I tried a different model of keyboard here. Rebooted and now it seems to work just fine. thanks. | 14:52 |
| knome | okay | 14:53 |
| knome | have fun | 14:53 |
| braulio | also, why everytime I start the computer Xubuntu asks me for a password to unlock some "default" thing? | 14:55 |
| SunStar | that could be the screen saver. try disabling it in launcher -> settings -> settings manager -> session and start up | 15:38 |
| no_esc | Hi I question about xmodmap in xubuntu | 16:42 |
| no_esc | *have a | 16:49 |
| knome | !ask | no_esc | 16:50 |
| ubottu | no_esc: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 16:50 |
| no_esc | Thanks, I tried to swao the esc and caps_lock key and it works but when i try to do it at startup it doesn't work. I have googled endlessly and non of the solutions seem to work. | 16:53 |

| livingdaylight | hi | 19:04 |
| livingdaylight | My system has been crashing unexplainably of late | 19:04 |
| === azeam_afk is now known as azeam | ||
| livingdaylight | is there a way of identifying how/why? | 19:04 |
| Pres-Gas | livingdaylight, I would start in /var/log/syslog first | 19:05 |
| livingdaylight | I suddenly find myself at the login page having to re-enter password and all applications are closed except it will launch virtualbox regardless of whether it was previously open or not | 19:05 |
| === azeam is now known as azeam_afk | ||
| livingdaylight | Pres-Gas, what do I look for there? | 19:12 |
| knome | livingdaylight, might be something in your session... just in case, remove ~/.cache | 19:13 |
| Pres-Gas | I'd follow knome's advice first | 19:14 |
| livingdaylight | knome, thx | 19:16 |
| livingdaylight | so, go into ~/.cache and remove everything? | 19:16 |
| livingdaylight | lets see | 19:17 |
| knome | livingdaylight, you can just remove the whole directory | 19:18 |
| livingdaylight | knome, are you suggesting removing all of this? http://clip2net.com/s/5sahQH | 19:18 |
| knome | livingdaylight, if that doesn't help, the next thing i'd look is sessions and startup under the settings manager | 19:18 |
| knome | yes, it's cache - so just temporary files | 19:18 |
| livingdaylight | i see, ok. | 19:19 |

| knome | xubuntu015, have you tried to ask the spanish community at #ubuntu-es ? | 21:05 |
| xubuntu015 | no | 21:05 |
| bgardner | xubuntu015: Please try that first, tech support is much easier in your native language. | 21:05 |
| knome | xubuntu015, maybe that would be easier... type "/join #ubuntu-es" (without the quotes) to join the spanish channel | 21:06 |
