But these applications always running in background drain my laptop's battery. I want to schedule tasks that sometime on weekends (when I am safely at home's wi-fi) dropbox and ubuntu one automatically starts and do the necessary syncing. Can anyone please point me in the right direction from where to start? [02:18] bored === phunyguy_ is now known as phunyguy [03:35] hi all - if I look at `uname -a` and see the kernal version.. and I do `dpkg-query --show` and I see a few other linux-image packages installed with other version numbers. is it safe to remove those other packages? [03:36] is it what I think it might be.. just other kernals sitting there? I am not facile with this, as you can tell [03:36] I assume dpkg-query --show is listing things that are installed... [03:37] Hi, how can I configure my laptop so it goes into suspend mode when I close the lid? [04:06] darkblue_b: i like to leave the last known good kernel [04:07] darkblue_b: also, look and see what size the kernels actually are.. to see if its worth bothering removing them [07:21] good morning [07:21] http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-M9mrg-_oNl8/UH-qDsulHZI/AAAAAAAAK_4/xEge8znDB1w/s1600/xubuntu12.10-login-screen.png - which login manager use xubuntu? [07:22] i use xubuntu on my netbook and i want install this LM to my Arch on desktop [07:26] Lightdm. [07:26] Unit193: thx :) [07:28] maybe anyone know which greeter uses xubuntu to lightdm? [07:29] gtk [07:29] and greybird(-lightdm) theme [07:29] Sysi: thx :) [07:30] best LM ever :) [07:30] they're generally called DM (display manager) [07:30] oh, ok, best DM ever :) [07:36] lightdm-gtk-greeter and Greybird theme, yep. shimmer-themes in AUR, IIRC. [07:46] Goodday to all. [07:47] Since I have installed Xubuntu on my Eee pc, which is at home.. [07:47] I like to know, what next is to do. [07:48] I am kown with linux, unix even AIX and 2 oter kinds. [07:49] All know at the dutch site of ubuntu... [07:51] I will take the tour!

[12:10] qwertz_: well i encrypt using encfs [12:10] only some folders [12:10] will disk encryption in some way bind the SSD to the specific BIOS/laptop it's configured on? [12:11] baizon, samsung pro SSDs have some hardware level encryption [12:11] i hope it's fully transparent to any software (including the OS) [12:11] qwertz_: not really, because /boot wont be encrypted [12:11] baizon, are you sure? [12:12] qwertz_: you mean the hardware specific encryption? [12:12] as far as i understand (so far), anything on the disk is encrypted [12:12] baizon, yes [12:12] I think most new ssd:s have low level encryption, but encrypted filesystem is different [12:13] i just want the guy who'll steal my laptop in the future not to be able to extract any data from my SSD [12:13] http://vxlabs.com/2012/12/22/ssds-with-usable-built-in-hardware-based-full-disk-encryption/ [12:14] Sysi, yep, already read that [12:14] the SSD in question is Samsung's 840 pro [12:15] Sysi, even with that link, i do not understand on which level the encryption takes place [12:16] i want to hardware to take care of everything. i want to be able to plug the disk into another machine, use the same password and get access to my data. [12:16] i don't want speed penalties due to encryption [12:16] and i don't want to take care of anything besides setting a password i'm asked whenever i boot [12:17] qwertz_: Encryption takes processing power, you sacrifice at least some speed no matter what. [12:17] qwertz_: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/samsung-ssd-encryption-work-39204.html [12:17] that article says only intel has properly working low-level encryption, in any case crypto will mean performance decrease [12:19] baizon, thanks for that link! that seems to be the resource i needed [12:19] np === moondoggie is now known as moondog [12:20] still leaves some questions unanswered [12:20] hm. will my SSD be tied to my laptop?

Many thanks bekks, clampin & bazhang. [21:15] <[JJ]Albert> I have question about the proprietary catalyst drivers. [21:16] <[JJ]Albert> At the moment, the latest drivers for FGLRX in the (X)ubuntu repository is at Catalyst 13.1. [21:16] <[JJ]Albert> But the latest Catalyst drivers for Linux is 13.4 [21:17] <[JJ]Albert> I've not installed it for fear of messing up my xorg settings, but trying to build the installer for my system (Xubuntu 13.04, AMD x86_64) [21:18] <[JJ]Albert> -- It hasn't worked. [21:18] <[JJ]Albert> The only installer for 13.4 I've found is only being made for the next Ubuntu/Xubuntu version. [21:18] <[JJ]Albert> And that won't work, probably. [21:19] <[JJ]Albert> So I want to know if there's an alternate for Raring that I could use to get the latest stable Catalyst drivers. [21:19] <[JJ]Albert> FGLRX/Catalyst/AMD. === azeam_afk is now known as azeam [21:40] [JJ]Albert: Why cantyou use the drivers shipped by your release? [21:40] <[JJ]Albert> I can use those [21:41] <[JJ]Albert> The problem is more with performance of drivers, and the fact that (And I've used Linux for longer even if I suck at it still, so don't assume I just came over for--) Steam on linux wont use 13.1 for big picture mode. [21:41] <[JJ]Albert> But mainly performance. [21:45] Can someone point me in the direction of how to get flash working with Firefox? I've tried grabbing it via the addons feature but it doesnt seem to work/install properly. [21:46] !flash player [21:47] <[JJ]Albert> I thought Flash Player came with Xubuntu by default? [21:50] nope, licencing issues [21:50] !restricted [21:50] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/media.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [21:51] <[JJ]Albert> Oh, it must be because one opts for restricted extras at installation time. [21:51] if you just want flash, install package flashplugin-installer [21:52] <[JJ]Albert> I'm guessing by now that I should just wait for 13.10 instead of trying to install 13.4? [21:52] <[JJ]Albert> Catalyst 13.4 that is. [21:54] Smashing, worked a treat.
