[00:11] Anybody there and know why mixer is borked? [00:18] pulseaudio volume control doesn't see any of my sound hardware either, only 'dummy output' [00:19] Question for anyone out there: I'd like to make a bootable DVD with a browser and not much else on it to run on a few of my school's old laptops. Is remastersys the best way to go for creating that image or is there another software that works? [00:20] Live DVD of xubuntu have too much stuff on it? [00:22] Well, I think there is too much junk on there myself, they had to abandon cd's [00:22] a little... I'd like them to boot it without getting an install prompt... [00:22] software center, bleh :P === Silver_A1row is now known as Silver_Arrow [00:23] Derpy client, I just noticed that [00:23] and the terminal is root so they could /hypothetically/ install stuff to any existing writable medium [00:24] Is there a live dvd that doesn't install that I just missed when looking over the Xubuntu webpage? [00:24] Doubt it [00:25] I guess I'll use remastersys unless there's a better option... [00:25] the only live cd I know of off the top of my head that doesn't install anything is g-parted live, and it wipes entire hard disks [00:25] oh, make sure you take g-parted off of the live dvd too [00:26] Will do... though the HD in the laptops will be wiped anyway so there's not much they could do with it [00:27] at least nothing I couldn't undo by runing G-parted :-) [00:27] lemme guess, shipped with windows 8? :3 [00:28] Nope... these are old.. .shipped with XP or in some cases Vista [00:28] just trying to breathe new life into them [00:28] ah, I have an older laptop with xp pro I made into a dual boot [00:29] give our students basic internet access, nothing more... Basically make a Chromebook out of old hardware gathering dust in the closet [00:29] when I tried using the xp much I had to upgrade the ram in it [00:29] Is it possible for a kernel to have a memmory leak? [00:40] <[0gb_us]> Do I need any extra software for a game controller to work in Xubuntu? [01:19] <[0gb_us]> Never mind. It seems the controller wasn't working due to some issue in some of the games I tested it in. Also, if anyone out there is considering getting a game controller, I'd recommend one with a joystick. Many of these games assume there is a joystick, and won't allow movement by arrow buttons. [02:07] hello [02:08] Hey folks, I have a couple questions regarding my graphics on xubuntu 13.04. I have sandy bridge. when I do lspci -v and look under the VGA controller for the Intel GPU, it's listed and it says the kernel driver in use is the i915. When I do lsmod, I see for video, it has two modules loaded -- i915, nouveau. Same thing goes for drm, two modules - i915 and nouveau. Is this normal? [03:05] I need help! [03:05] Help someone? [03:47] xubuntu790 what help do you need? [05:14] Hello, I'm running xubuntu 13.04 on my computer, but I've faced a problem about this program: http://lovebizhi.com/linux_deb [05:14] 桌面环境：XFCE [05:14] 桌面环境：XFCE [05:14] qrc:/UI/image.qml:143: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: myimage [05:14] qrc:/UI/image.qml:119: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: myimage [05:14] qrc:/UI/DetailForm.qml:88: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: tagsmodel [05:14] qrc:/UI/DetailForm.qml:56: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: kvmodel [05:14] qrc:/UI/DetailForm.qml:39: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: detailtitle [05:14] qrc:/UI/imagelist.qml:10: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: datamodel [05:14] 1280 [05:14] Segmentation fault [05:18] Contact the author, and please put pastes in pastebin.com [05:26] I dont [05:27] I don't know what the different between 13.04 and 12.04, because I can successfully run it on 12.04, so I'm asking here~ [05:29] Anyway, thanks for your reply~ [05:50] hello xubundu friends [05:51] can someone help me how to connect my xubundu machine on a domain controller network on windows server 2003? [05:52] the best help for me will be a guide for noods (if there is any) [06:08] can someone help me how to connect my xubundu machine on a domain controller network on windows server 2003? [06:10] Well, I think you can use centrifydc, no? It's in the partner repos. [06:10] !ad [06:10] You can learn more about ActiveDirectory intergration at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto [06:12] i give a try to this link [06:12] thank you ubottu [06:12] what is partner repos? [06:13] Unit193 i suppose centrifydc is a program for xubundu? [06:13] Yeah, more or less. [06:13] !partner [06:13] Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [06:13] i forgot to tell you that i'm noob [06:14] oh , i see.... every thing on terminal! :P [06:14] i'll give a try on that too [06:14] thank you [06:14] You can also open software sources, but so much easier to tell you to copy and paste. :P [06:15] so i'll copy-paste this on my terminal and .... ? [06:28] thank you guys for your help [08:32] Hello. Using my phone to ask questions... I installed 12.04 and could not use qualcomm 3g modem. Please help.

My network manager (connection info) shows the correct DNS server entries, yet whenever I run dig or even try to resolve in Firefox, it's not using these servers. Looks to only be using root servers. Any clue? [10:53] Hello. Anyone familiar with 3g quallcom usb modem? Does not work. Thanks [11:38] How can i use a new memorycard ? I think i need to format it in linux some way but how ? i get a message the media is read only. [11:40] xubuntu265: there is a switch on the side of the card [11:40] xubuntu265: switch it [11:52] it is me with the memory card. can not copy and paste anything. [11:53] and the stupid mousepad stoping sometimes so i need to restart to use it. [11:54] install powertop and disable power management for the touchpad [11:54] that should help [11:55] why is it not possible to copy or paste anything ? [11:56] and even with the switch turend of it is read only on the memorycard. [11:59] xubuntu610: what does dmesg say? [12:01] first of all i can not paste it dont working. when i try send to i get this: Error while copying to "9016-4EF8". [12:01] this message i cud copy and paste. [12:01] it should have some details below it [12:02] The destination is read-only. [12:02] that is all [12:03] well, is the card switched to read-only? [12:04] i have try both positions. [12:05] any relevant messages in dmesg? [12:06] it is mounted but read only. [12:08] do i need to format it some ways ? [12:09] how can i format it ? [12:09] xubuntu610: Please read the support questions - TheSheep has twice asked you about dmesg, that should be your next step. [12:09] dmesg ? [12:09] i dont know what dmesg is. [12:10] xubuntu610: Open a terminal and type 'dmesg | pastebinit' and give us the URL it hands back to you. [13:55] Xubuntu said it could "auto install" my OS. Well, it installed a MBR on my media hard drive and now I can't get my files. I am about to pay $40 to get some software to recover my files. No real question here; just bitching because I want my blood pressure to go down. =( Also, my head phones aren't working in Xubuntu after a reboot. [13:56] lokote_jones, cool off and we'll tell you how to fix it. [13:56] lokote_jones: did you read the part where it told you to backup everything? [13:58] * cfhowlett thinks ... "faq? README? We don't read no stinking README!" [13:58] TheSheep: I had backed up the drive about 35 gigs ago (which is relatively short for me)... so I thought "well; this will be fine... I have installed debian millions of timeswith no problem" [13:58] lokote_jones: just teasing, sorry [13:58] But now I want my 35 gigs back. =( cfhowlett: I tried TestDisk, Fdisk, Chkdsk. [13:59] TheSheep: It's ok. I'm just suffering from kilo-tons of butthurt right now. =( [13:59] lokote_jones, if those files were overwritten for formatting they're gone ... or so I understand. [14:01] It appears Xubuntu thought it was helping by taking my entire 1tb NTFS partition and turning it into a MBR. The files are safe and sound; just have to use this disk recovery software I have to pay for cuz the open source stuff didn't work. But I did the free trial; got some test files back; and now I get to go from there. [14:02] I'm going to write up a blog post on it when all is said and done. TestDisk took 4 hours and 30 minutes to "analyze" the drive. Then it came back and said "Nope; I dunno what to do." lol.... [14:03] lokote_jones, something doesn't make sense to me... the MBR isn't really a partition. Did Xubuntu format and mount a /boot partition there? [14:04] bipolar: I'm not sure. Let me type up exactly what occurred --- [14:05] 1. I used a usb drive to boot into a install ISO for Xubuntu. It said that it recognized that I had Lubuntu and asked if it could just replace it. I agreed. The installation began. After the installion was completed the computer wouldn't boot. I moved to BIOS, changed the "boot drive" from my SSD to my media drive. The computer booted. I tried to mount my media drive. It refused to mount. At some point one of these tools said my entire media drive wa [14:06] 2. I reinsted the drive into the xubuntu machine. ran all the different ubuntu recovery tools. none worked. [14:06] 3. got the drive back out, brought it to work, and tried one of the recovery tools we have here. It got me 3 files and said if i want the rest I can pay 39.99. [14:06] 4. ??? 5. profit? [14:07] That's the whole story give or take all the cussing and such. [14:08] Was the media drive in a lower numbered sata port or something? That's kindof strange. Did you get a grub menu when booting from the ssd? [14:09] your step 1 got cut off... what did it say when you tried to mount it? [14:09] bipolar: I did not. The SSD was marked as /dev/sda and the media drive was /dev/sdb if that helps. [14:09] :\ [14:09] bipolar: I got an error in which it returned a non-zero error of 12. It stated my drive had an issue with the size. [14:10] lokote_jones, working with multiple destinations is definitely an advanced user level task best performed manually and NOT left to the ubuntu installer script. [14:10] Sounds like the partition table got fubar'ed [14:10] All I wanted it to do was install everything to the SSD, like lubuntu did, and not touch my media drive. I have since removed all hard drives from the computer and mounted htem into USB cases. From now on; I wont use linux with more than one Hard drive. [14:11] The SSD is all that will sit in that box from now on. [14:11] lokote_jones, just unplug the extra drives when you do an install. [14:11] I mean internally... disconnect the sata cable. [14:12] Just so I don't sound like I dislike xubuntu, which I really do like, I would like to say that xubuntu did something new I have never seen before. My HDMI video card now pushes sound out of my television. that is super neato. But every thing else is a tremendous anger-factory. [15:01] Can Xubuntu be installed on a computer that uses an ATI radeon hd3200 video card? Still get video acceleration? Any hardware lists for xubuntu? [15:04] !hwl | lokote_jones [15:04] meh [15:04] !hcl [15:04] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [15:04] there! [15:04] dunno how up to date it is though [15:09] Would someone possibly know about any available documentation about modifying the look and feel of the splash screen presenting when entering the passphrase on an out-of-the-box encrypted installation? [15:26] bjr je viens d'installer xubuntu mais j'ai un probleme avec flash player [15:27] guys, I have a problem with (I think) gtk themes [15:27] http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-08272013-040624pm.php [15:27] that's gitg, one of the apps that exibith that behavior [15:27] I have no clue where that black stuff comes from [15:28] how install flash player for firefox please [15:29] manufort: Did you install the restricted extras package? [15:29] how that? [15:31] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras [15:31] thinks [15:33] it's possible to drive xubuntu with my smartphone [15:33] ? [15:35] and for change the resolution ? [16:22] Is there someone of whom I may ask a question about xubuntu? [16:23] !ask [16:23] 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 [16:24] Alrighty, then. I'm using xubuntu, but having some problems with screensavers, suspend and the like. The system locks-up or logs me out with annoying frequency. I've removed xscsreensaver which seemed to be the problem, but it is pretty shaky. Any ideas how to fix this? [16:40] Perhaps it will help if I specify that I'm using xubuntu 15 (Olivia) xfce x64. I've got 8 - 4 Ghz cores and tons of ram. I also run XP Pro in a virtualbox vm. [16:41] No you are not using Xubuntu, you are using Linux Mint [16:42] !mintsupport | xubuntu763 [16:42] xubuntu763: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [16:43] The only alternative distribution that I know of thats based on Xubuntu is OS/4 OpenLinux, http://www.os4online.com [16:43] I got here through the xchat support link on xubuntu and, trust me, that is the os i am running. [16:43] They use the same repos as Xubuntu [16:44] Thats because they base the repositories on Xubuntus, but its not Xubuntu [16:44] i was running Mint, but took it off and reloaded xubuntu. [16:45] There is no Xubuntu 15 though [16:48] Attempting to dual boot install xubuntu and win7 (which is already on, I shrunk a partition already), I was following http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/05/17/how-to-dual-boot-ubuntu-12-04-and-windows-7/2/ as a guide, and was curious if I could just skip the / and /home as separate paritions and just make the / partition [16:49] Yes you can [16:49] Thanks. [16:49] Also, should I really use 4gb swap? That seems a bit excessive when my Linode only has 256MB [16:51] The installer bases the amount of swap on RAM thats availbale to the machine, you can lower it if you want though [16:52] The guide said to use 4gb of swap. I don't know what a good amount to have for it is I use 16GB RAM currently. [16:52] Are there any known problem with screen savers and/or suspend in Xubuntu x64 13.04? [16:53] With 16gb of RAM you really dont need swap [16:54] Alright, thanks for the info. [16:54] Unless you think you will run out of RAM [16:54] I would hope not o.O [17:00] permission denied to create directory 'root/.cache/dconf' dconf will not work properly [17:01] just spammed my installer window, not sure what to do about that [17:01] what you tried to do? [17:02] I was installing xubuntu alongside win7, using the guide above. [17:02] standard aplications should not be able to create folders on /root [17:02] This is during fresh install. [17:02] ok [17:02] Isolol, why dont you just choose "install alongside windows" from the installer? [17:03] I'd rather not have windows and linux fighting over the MBP [17:03] they will [17:03] I created a separate /boot partition for xubuntu [17:03] you have to replace the windows mbr with grub in order to boot one or the other anyway [17:42] how install jockey-gtk [17:45] sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk [17:46] but you dont need it [17:46] no abre che [17:46] its integrated to the last tab of the application sources menu in the ubuntu-software-center, and you can access it in the aditional drivers option on the menu [17:46] a ok [17:47] on the setting menu [17:47] P: 'sup aguitel [17:49] GridCube, tell me a good theme for xfce [17:51] i like greybird, albatross and mediterranean [17:52] need to add ppa or install from normal repos?

[17:54] yep, see my screenshot [17:54] ok gracias [17:54] de nada [17:59] hey guys, is there any commandline way of autostarting XBMC when the X-server starts up? like .xinitrc or .xprofile? I'm coming from arch and that's the way to do it there [18:18] Would it be considered rude or appropriate when making a support request to do so in the ubuntu forums and then post a link to the question here with a short synopsis? [18:31] lokote_jones, if you do that to post most of the information its ok [18:32] but if you get a solution in this channel or any other you should update the forum thread with the solution and mark it solved [18:33] what is not correct is for you to cross post trhough irc channels [18:34] or any communication methods at the same time, without giving people time to respond, really. [18:34] true that [18:34] Hello I'm try to install xubuntu 13 on my usb drive but the installation program only allow me to install on /sda. How can I use another drive ? [18:35] didier, there is no xubuntu 13. i assume you are referring to 13.04 ? [18:35] didier, when choosing how to install go to the manual partitioning and choose a different target fo / [18:35] yes [18:36] GridCube: I just have the /sda [18:36] then your usb is not being properly recognized, i sugest you to retry with the usb drive in a different port [18:37] you can choose to go to a live session previous to try to install and make sure the usb drive is being recognized [18:37] GridCube: But I am on the live session on my usb [18:38] GridCube: Do I need to use 1 usb for the live session and another one to install ? [18:38] yes [18:38] yes [18:38] Ok [18:38] Thanks [18:38] or at least a partition in the usb drive [18:38] i guess [18:39] Thanks I try [18:39] and you need to make sure that grub is installed in the right place [18:40] GridCube: Thanks. And I assumed as much but I am not entirely familiar with IRC standards of behavior. So I thought it was best to find out. I would prefer to do both since it gives a chance for others to google and find the solution if I document it in that manner. Thanks! [18:41] lokote_jones, if you do it here it gets logged at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com [18:41] and is searchable [18:42] GridCube: Did not know that. Thanks for the link! [18:47] Earlier I posted asking if the Radeon HD3200 is supported by Linux... http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/legacy-radeon_linux.aspx That is the link to the driver for that video card. Just incase. [19:40] Can not go online with xubuntu 12.10 [19:55] right, i'm on the xubuntu daily live image. the sound indicator doesn't work, but the keyboard controls do finally... [19:56] ali1234, if you wish to help with xubuntu testing, you should report the results on the ISO tracker, not on this channel [19:57] where's that? [19:57] ali1234, /join #xubuntu-devel and we can chat more about that [19:57] incidentally, it doesn't work on the release either :P [19:57] i'm already there [20:00] how do i let the screensaver show a certain picture only instead of an actual screensaver? [20:06] Cool it works :) [20:42] who is admin of xubuntu.org website? [20:43] olbi_, i am one. what's the issue? [21:28] hi [21:29] is there anyone [21:29] !anyone | xubuntu409 [21:29] xubuntu409: 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. [21:29] I am unable to boot cd [21:31] In Ubuntu there was a program Wubi which starts installation, what file does xubuntu have which starts installation [21:32] xubuntu does not have wubi; you can't start the installation from windows. [21:32] ok, but cd doesn't boot, I thought that installation file is missing [21:32] what is the error you are getting? [21:32] DMI pool checking Data [21:34] did you check the md5 sum for the iso? [21:34] !md5 | xubuntu409 [21:34] xubuntu409: 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 [21:34] it might be your CD is burnt incorrectly because of problems in downloading or something else [21:38] says md5 check somes are different [21:39] in that case the downloaded file is faulty [21:43] MD5 Sum column shows alfa numeric numbers but Compare column is blank, I pressed compare & message popped , md5 check some are different, did I do it right? [21:47] Do I have to download it again? [21:52] yes [21:53] GridCube, he's gone [21:53] lol, ok [21:57] this is great :) [21:57] font rendering is finally fixed :) [21:58] and there are nice themes [22:26] has anyone purchased a wireless adapter recently that was fully supported by linux?
