xubuntu452Hello Sir08:17
gryHi.08:18
xubuntu452I want help about ubuntu antivirus and firewall support08:18
xubuntu452Ubuntu is the Greate Operating System but there is something is missing08:18
xubuntu452it is antivirus and firewall support08:19
xubuntu452because business man people want max security08:19
xubuntu452any soloution?08:20
xubuntu452like Vipre antivirus and macfee internet security and pc cline08:20
Unit193iptables/ufw is pretty much the firewall, and linux generally doesn't really get viruses, so antivirus is generally used on mailservers or when networked in a windows env.08:21
Unit193!antivirus08:21
ubottuAntivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus08:21

SuperEngineerhmmm - now that was unexpected: installing xubuntu on old Acer netbook & I think think it just installed grub onto the SD card... could be good [security] or could be bad [not recognised] - about to find out15:26
SuperEngineerho hum, what a surprise - it went straight for the hard disk... time to put boot repair cd in external drive15:29
SuperEngineergood ol' Boot-Repair-Disk... luvit15:51
SuperEngineererrrmmm... having installed xubuntu, & having installed ubuntu1 on it - how the heck am I supposed to find it... it's not showing anywhere!16:49

ubottuPlease 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 !patience17:19
largiMy dad has a laptop Dell d840 latitue processor pentium 4 2.4 ghz, 512 SDRAM, graphics, geforce 4 440 go. 32 mb, when you install xubuntu at the time when the installed kernel computer just turns off;/ know what could be the reason for this behavior is not that the installation was complete, I used a translator so I'm sorry for the mistakes. English I have a very weak17:19

xubuntu304I am new to ubuntu. I have kubuntu installed and right now I download the xubuntu for my old laptop. I don't know how to burn it (Cd? dvd?) so that I can install it on the old laptop I mentioned.19:20
Unit1931. Does you laptop have a DVD drive?  2. Does it have the ability to boot off of flash drives/USB devices?19:21
xubuntu3041. Yes19:22
xubuntu3042. Yes19:22
Unit193I'd recommend the second.19:22
ui_Do you need to have a separate installation? You can install xubuntu on the same system as kubuntu, and switch the desktop environment at login.19:22
Unit193!usb19:22
ubottuFor information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent19:22
Unit193xubuntu304: I read that as Kubuntu on one computer and Xubuntu on another, am I wrong?19:22
xubuntu304Kubuntu is on my pc. I download xubuntu for my old laptop because its an old centrino with 1GB RAM. It's another system, not the same. My pc has kubuntu (fine) and my laptop has Windows XP (not fine, I want xubuntu on it).19:24
Unit193(I kind of skipped making sure on that, bad me...)19:24
ui_ah ok, I assumed that kubuntu was on the laptop, sorry.19:24
Unit193ui_: Thanks for asking him, though!19:25
xubuntu304But I'm totally new to kubuntu. I don't know what to do with the file I download right now and how i get it on dvd19:26
Unit193xubuntu304: If you're on XP, I'd highly recommend LinuxLiveUSB, and if on Kubuntu, there's other tools listed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick19:27
xubuntu304I kinda don't form it right for you people. Wait...19:27
elfyxubuntu304: k3b is the tool you need to use in kubuntu - make sure to burn it as an image19:30
xubuntu304Right now, I'm on my desktop computer. There is kubuntu installed and I'm a newbie. I managed to download a version of xubuntu, because my old laptop which has windows xp on it which not working right now, and I thought to install xubuntu. I allready have downloaded the file through torrent. Now I have xubuntu here on download folders on kubuntu and I don't know how to burn a DVD!19:30
elfyuse the app I told you above19:31
xubuntu304ok thank you very much. I'll try to figure it out.19:31
elfypoint it at the download - burn as image - slow speed19:32
xubuntu304ok, I think I found it... thank you very much. Take care people...19:35
xubuntu428I came back, because I need your help. I was here 5 minutres before. So, here is the case: My old laptop is a centrino with 1 GB Ram and 120GB HDD. First I tried to install kubuntu 13.04 on it and a message came out. Then I searched and found out that xubuntu should be better on old systems. I downloaded it and with your help I burn a DVD with it. I put it in and try to boot and install it and the same message comes up:19:42
xubuntu428"This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae    Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU. Please help.19:43
xubuntu428Which version of linux would be appropriate for my CPU...19:44
ui_xubuntu428: try xubuntu 12.04, which is non-PAE19:47
Unit193Debian or a more closely based Debian deriv with linux-image-486 kernel.19:47
Unit193...Or the LTS, yes.19:47
ui_(the i386 version)19:48
xubuntu428ok... Is there any kubuntu distribution which is non pae? I would like to have the same environment on pc and on laptop. It will be easier for me to go away from windows :)19:49
elfyI'd guess lts - but #kubuntu would be the place to check :)19:52
xubuntu428ty19:53
xubuntu428bye19:53
Unit193Think you'd have to go minimal first, think their 12.04 shipped PAE.19:54

shuptonI can't get .flv or mp4 video to consistently play. Once in  a while it will work but eventually the video is gone and all I get is audio. I use VLC and Gnome Mplayer.  If I use Puppy linux on the same computer it has no problem playing the video.20:10
bazhangthe download helper plugin can transcode them on the fly20:14
bazhangfirefox20:15
shuptonI'm trying to play videos I downloaded using the download helper.20:16
shuptonThey are .flv and .mp4 files stored on the hard drive.20:16
bazhangright, it will change the flv to mp4 as it downloads. you could go further with handbrake I suppose20:17
