[02:37] <nerdtron> xubuntu105, try your own password
[04:38] <kenetik> Hello Folks!
[04:43] <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?
[04:49] <kenetik> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2173307&p=12783319
[04:56] <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
[04:57] <XRS1> it needs to be formatted in ext2
[04:57] <XRS1> so youd need 2 thunbdrives for either method
[04:59] <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
[05:00] <kenetik> I wanted to use that, although I do not have a windows box
[05:01] <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
[05:02] <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?
[05:04] <kenetik> got a screenshot coming, gimme 1 sec
[05:07] <kenetik> http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-09092013-120350am.php
[05:12] <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
[05:13] <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
[05:14] <XRS1> javascripts wont work well when running from USB. the system will lock up a lot and give errors warning the scripts arent responding
[05:15] <kenetik> I know for a fact that all 4 pc's I use are 64 bit, would it still benefit me to use 32bit?
[05:16] <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
[05:17] <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
[05:27] <yap> anyone has this problem as well?
[05:29] <kenetik> XRS1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2173307&p=12783339#post12783339
[05:38] <kenetik> What do you advise I use? GNUparted? for the partition?
[05:40] <XRS1> gparted
[05:40] <XRS1> you can make the partition whatever size you want. there are no restrictions, only when casper is a file
[05:41] <XRS1> only when casper is a file are you limited to 4GB
[05:41] <XRS1> *
[05:50] <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
[05:56] <kenetik> http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-09092013-125451am.php
[05:56] <kenetik> look right?
[05:57] <XRS1> that should work
[06:01] <yap> sry to once again pop with my question, does anyone know where keyboard layout settings are saved anyway - in a file?
[06:27] <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
[06:30] <XRS1> looks like its /usr/share/X11/xkb/  maybe?
[06:59] <kenetik> XRS1: decided to try USB > USB install, taking... forever...
[07:05] <kenetik> "ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed."
[08:22] <xubuntu329> hi
[08:22] <xubuntu329> i have a proxy settings problem
[08:22] <xubuntu329> someone can help me?
[08:26] <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
[08:27] <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
[08:30] <tra23874> OK, here it is
[08:31] <tra23874> http://s1260.photobucket.com/user/krem1234/media/Xubunu_zpsf4bd0eb2.jpg.html
[08:46] <tra23874> Also, it's an SSD if that makes a difference
[08:48] <pmjdebruijn> that's a rash
[08:48] <pmjdebruijn> crash*
[08:49] <tra23874> the install crashed?
[08:49] <tra23874> any ideas on what went wrong?
[08:50] <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
[08:51] <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
[08:52] <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
[08:54] <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)
[08:55] <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
[08:56] <Coterabeth> Haldo
[09:08] <XRS1> kenetik,  when installing, make sure grub is installing to the correct drive. ubiquity sometimes guesses wrong.
[09:35] <tra23874> hey, happy ending, got it installed
[09:35] <tra23874> just needed to change the partition sizes
[09:36] <tra23874> looks like with smaller HDDs, the default size for the root partition is too small
[09:57] <foobarski> hi all. How to set the default window manager to be xfwm4 instead of metacity?
[10:08] <ochosi> foobarski: are you using xubuntu?
[10:09] <ochosi> generally speaking, you might have to modify the session file
[10:29] <MoL0ToV> i have a problem with xscreensaver, don't authenticate even with correct password
[10:30] <ochosi> caps-lock? wrong keyboard-layout?
[10:48] <MoL0ToV> ochosi, no
[11:35] <bullgard4> [Xubuntu 12.04.2] Is there a keyboard shortcut to pressing Applications menu > Log Out > Suspend?
[11:38] <cfhowlett> bullgard4, see settings/keyboard/application shortcuts
[11:41] <bullgard4> cfhowlett: I had a look at Setting > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts. This list does not mention the Suspend command.
[11:46] <cfhowlett> bullgard4, then it doesn't exist.  Create your own shortcut and save it.
[12:55] <bullgard4> cfhowlett: What command-line command is entered if I press Applications menu > Log Out > Suspend?
[12:57] <baizon> bullgard4: xfce4-session --help
[12:57] <baizon> bullgard4: sorry i was wrong
[12:57] <baizon> bullgard4: this will give the answer... http://linux.die.net/man/1/xfce4-session-logout
[13:09] <bullgard4> baizon: No. '~$ xfce4-xsession-logout --suspend' works all right. --  Thank you very much for your help.

[15:13] <elfy> excellent

[15:16] <nl278> after upgrade i try run firefox
[15:19] <GridCube> nl278, you should try to install zram on your computer
[15:22] <nl278> GridCube: if i understend zram uses ram instead swap, but there is only 7 MB free ram in this pc
[15:26] <GridCube> nl278, it makes usage of ram more efficient for low ram settings
[15:26] <GridCube> in theory a whole lot more efficient
[15:27] <ice_kernel> Hi all
[15:27] <nl278> GridCube: interesting, will install that

[15:32] <ice_kernel> Sorry for my english
[15:37] <ice_kernel> any suggestions?
[15:43] <GridCube> mmm
[15:43] <ice_kernel> mmm...
[15:44] <GridCube> ice_kernel, have you read this ? http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu
[15:45] <GridCube> you might be interested in this part http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu#hide_menu_entries
[15:46] <ice_kernel> i can't do it with standart "main menu" util?
[15:46] <ice_kernel> of xfce?
