| kenetik | Hello Folks! | 04:38 |
| kenetik | Quick question, I put Xubuntu 13.04 64-bit on a jumpdrive using "Universal USB Installer" from ubuntu, using persistence. / I successfully launched it from a computer at work with no hard drive, and configured everything to preference, then logged out and shutdown. // When I came home and trying to run it, I was unable to boot into the setting that I created, it only gave me the options to Install or Try Xubuntu, even when running Tr | 04:43 |
| kenetik | was brand new settings with xubuntu-session-user as opposed to the users I created. // Any feedback? | 04:43 |
| kenetik | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2173307&p=12783319 | 04:49 |
| XRS1 | what i normally do if i intend to actually run like that is either install linux onto the thumbdrive and run it, or delete the casper file and create a new partition for its persistence. label this partition casper-rw | 04:56 |
| XRS1 | it needs to be formatted in ext2 | 04:57 |
| XRS1 | so youd need 2 thunbdrives for either method | 04:57 |
| XRS1 | but out of the box it should just plain work. what i'd suggest is make it again, but this time use Linux Live USB Creator: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ | 04:59 |
| kenetik | so I will always need two thumb drives? or only for the initial config | 04:59 |
| XRS1 | i find Linux Live to be the most reliable, easiest to use, and looks the best | 04:59 |
| kenetik | I wanted to use that, although I do not have a windows box | 05:00 |
| XRS1 | to set it up in either of those 2 methods your would A) need a thumbdive to run the xubuntu live and a second to install to, or B) a xubuntu live USB to delete the casper file and create an ext2 partition called casper-rw | 05:01 |
| XRS1 | or you could do it the easy way and make a live disk on windows using http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ | 05:01 |
| kenetik | alright ill use these notes and see what I can accomplish | 05:01 |
| kenetik | unfortunately i do not have nor have access to a windows box, not to mention it makes me cringe to imagine have to use windows to make a proper unix live usb =/ | 05:02 |
| XRS1 | weird huh? | 05:02 |
| kenetik | got a screenshot coming, gimme 1 sec | 05:04 |
| kenetik | http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-09092013-120350am.php | 05:07 |
| XRS1 | yup. if you delete that file and create a new EXT2 partition labeled casper-rw it will automatically figure it out and use the casper partition to save information across boots | 05:12 |
| XRS1 | but just installing to a USB drive would give you MUCH faster performance | 05:12 |
| XRS1 | if you use the i386 architecture, you can then plug that thumbdrive into any PC that boots from USB and run a fully functional xubuntu | 05:13 |
| XRS1 | javascripts wont work well when running from USB. the system will lock up a lot and give errors warning the scripts arent responding | 05:14 |
| kenetik | I know for a fact that all 4 pc's I use are 64 bit, would it still benefit me to use 32bit? | 05:15 |
| XRS1 | no then go ahead with 64bit | 05:16 |
| XRS1 | 32bit is a lil faster when running from USB, but theres a lot of stuff you might miss out on not having 64bit support | 05:16 |
| yap | fellas, after an update a month ago or so my keyboard layout properties (like key shortcuts) are not remembered from session to session. Anything I can do to fix that? | 05:17 |
| kenetik | XRS1: thank you for your help. | 05:17 |
| XRS1 | yup | 05:17 |
| yap | anyone has this problem as well? | 05:27 |
| kenetik | XRS1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2173307&p=12783339#post12783339 | 05:29 |
| kenetik | What do you advise I use? GNUparted? for the partition? | 05:38 |
| XRS1 | gparted | 05:40 |
| XRS1 | you can make the partition whatever size you want. there are no restrictions, only when casper is a file | 05:40 |
| XRS1 | only when casper is a file are you limited to 4GB | 05:41 |
| XRS1 | * | 05:41 |
| kenetik | I currently have the following: /dev/sda1 fat32 /boot/efi 190MB (flag boot) | /dev/sda2 ext2 /boot 244MB | unallocated (the rest) | 05:50 |
| kenetik | woah* nvm | 05:50 |
| kenetik | http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-09092013-125451am.php | 05:56 |
| kenetik | look right? | 05:56 |
| XRS1 | that should work | 05:57 |
| yap | sry to once again pop with my question, does anyone know where keyboard layout settings are saved anyway - in a file? | 06:01 |
| XRS1 | All possible keysyms can be found in /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB or /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB. To ensure that the .Xmodmap file is loaded when you start Xfce add /usr/bin/xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap to your .xinitrc or .xprofile file. | 06:27 |
| XRS1 | according to: http://wiki.xfce.org/faq | 06:27 |
| XRS1 | looks like its /usr/share/X11/xkb/ maybe? | 06:30 |
| kenetik | XRS1: decided to try USB > USB install, taking... forever... | 06:59 |
| kenetik | "ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed." | 07:05 |
| xubuntu329 | hi | 08:22 |
| xubuntu329 | i have a proxy settings problem | 08:22 |
| xubuntu329 | someone can help me? | 08:22 |
| tra23874 | Hi, wondering if anyone can help, in the middle of a Xubuntu install but it seems to be hanging | 08:26 |
| pmjdebruijn | please elaborate on the problem, if someone knows, they will respond, please be patient | 08:26 |
| tra23874 | I got past the step where you repartition the drive and now I see a black screen with a lot of text and it seems to be hanging | 08:26 |
| tra23874 | thanks | 08:26 |
| tra23874 | I'm installing it alongside Windows 7 | 08:27 |
| pmjdebruijn | you might want to make a "screenshot" of that black screen with text, using your mobile phone or whatever, and upload it somewhere so we can take a look | 08:27 |
| tra23874 | OK, here it is | 08:30 |
| tra23874 | http://s1260.photobucket.com/user/krem1234/media/Xubunu_zpsf4bd0eb2.jpg.html | 08:31 |
| tra23874 | Also, it's an SSD if that makes a difference | 08:46 |
| pmjdebruijn | that's a rash | 08:48 |
| pmjdebruijn | crash* | 08:48 |
| tra23874 | the install crashed? | 08:49 |
| tra23874 | any ideas on what went wrong? | 08:49 |
| pmjdebruijn | tra23874: well, I'm not entirely sure | 08:50 |
| pmjdebruijn | sortof looks like the memory allocator | 08:50 |
| pmjdebruijn | so how much RAM does your system have? | 08:50 |
| tra23874 | thanks for looking into it though | 08:50 |
| tra23874 | 8 GB | 08:50 |
| pmjdebruijn | that should be quite fine | 08:50 |
| tra23874 | I tried the liveCD earlier and it loaded fine which seems a little strange | 08:50 |
| pmjdebruijn | 64bit xubuntu? | 08:50 |
| tra23874 | Yes | 08:50 |
| pmjdebruijn | well, you could try running memtest from the live cd, so checkif the memory isn't broken | 08:51 |
| pmjdebruijn | just to make sure | 08:51 |
| tra23874 | hmm yeah I'll check that | 08:51 |
| pmjdebruijn | it's available from the menu before xubuntu boots | 08:51 |
| pmjdebruijn | it'll need to run for a few hours though | 08:51 |
| tra23874 | sure, thanks again | 08:51 |
| pmjdebruijn | again I'm not sure if that's the issue, but at least if you've run memtest, you can be reasonably sure, your memory is fine | 08:52 |
| tra23874 | right | 08:52 |
| pmjdebruijn | other than that, you might want to stick around here, maybe someone else has an idea later on | 08:52 |
| tra23874 | Actually I just rebooted, and got "Some of the partitions you created are too small. Please make the following partitions at least this large: / 2.8 GB" though what I have specified was 52.8 GB (Windows) and 10.1 GB (Xubuntu) | 08:54 |
| tra23874 | hmm, now I just got past that screen | 08:55 |
| pmjdebruijn | I'm afraid I have little experience with dual boot / shared disk installs | 08:55 |
| Coterabeth | Haldo | 08:56 |
| XRS1 | kenetik, when installing, make sure grub is installing to the correct drive. ubiquity sometimes guesses wrong. | 09:08 |
| === addison is now known as Coterabeth | ||
| tra23874 | hey, happy ending, got it installed | 09:35 |
| tra23874 | just needed to change the partition sizes | 09:35 |
| tra23874 | looks like with smaller HDDs, the default size for the root partition is too small | 09:36 |
| foobarski | hi all. How to set the default window manager to be xfwm4 instead of metacity? | 09:57 |

| bullgard4 | [Xubuntu 12.04.2] Is there a keyboard shortcut to pressing Applications menu > Log Out > Suspend? | 11:35 |
| cfhowlett | bullgard4, see settings/keyboard/application shortcuts | 11:38 |
| bullgard4 | cfhowlett: I had a look at Setting > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts. This list does not mention the Suspend command. | 11:41 |
| cfhowlett | bullgard4, then it doesn't exist. Create your own shortcut and save it. | 11:46 |

| nl278 | GridCube: if i understend zram uses ram instead swap, but there is only 7 MB free ram in this pc | 15:22 |
| GridCube | nl278, it makes usage of ram more efficient for low ram settings | 15:26 |
| GridCube | in theory a whole lot more efficient | 15:26 |
