[02:37] xubuntu105, try your own password [04:38] Hello Folks! [04:43] 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] was brand new settings with xubuntu-session-user as opposed to the users I created. // Any feedback? [04:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2173307&p=12783319 [04:56] 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] it needs to be formatted in ext2 [04:57] so youd need 2 thunbdrives for either method [04:59] 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] so I will always need two thumb drives? or only for the initial config [04:59] i find Linux Live to be the most reliable, easiest to use, and looks the best [05:00] I wanted to use that, although I do not have a windows box [05:01] 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] or you could do it the easy way and make a live disk on windows using http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ [05:01] alright ill use these notes and see what I can accomplish [05:02] 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] weird huh? [05:04] got a screenshot coming, gimme 1 sec [05:07] http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-09092013-120350am.php [05:12] 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] but just installing to a USB drive would give you MUCH faster performance [05:13] 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] 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] 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] no then go ahead with 64bit [05:16] 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] 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] XRS1: thank you for your help. [05:17] yup [05:27] anyone has this problem as well? [05:29] XRS1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2173307&p=12783339#post12783339 [05:38] What do you advise I use? GNUparted? for the partition? [05:40] gparted [05:40] you can make the partition whatever size you want. there are no restrictions, only when casper is a file [05:41] only when casper is a file are you limited to 4GB [05:41] * [05:50] I currently have the following: /dev/sda1 fat32 /boot/efi 190MB (flag boot) | /dev/sda2 ext2 /boot 244MB | unallocated (the rest) [05:50] woah* nvm [05:56] http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-09092013-125451am.php [05:56] look right? [05:57] that should work [06:01] sry to once again pop with my question, does anyone know where keyboard layout settings are saved anyway - in a file? [06:27] 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] according to: http://wiki.xfce.org/faq [06:30] looks like its /usr/share/X11/xkb/ maybe? [06:59] XRS1: decided to try USB > USB install, taking... forever... [07:05] "ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed." [08:22] hi [08:22] i have a proxy settings problem [08:22] someone can help me? [08:26] Hi, wondering if anyone can help, in the middle of a Xubuntu install but it seems to be hanging [08:26] please elaborate on the problem, if someone knows, they will respond, please be patient [08:26] 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] thanks [08:27] I'm installing it alongside Windows 7 [08:27] 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] OK, here it is [08:31] http://s1260.photobucket.com/user/krem1234/media/Xubunu_zpsf4bd0eb2.jpg.html [08:46] Also, it's an SSD if that makes a difference [08:48] that's a rash [08:48] crash* [08:49] the install crashed? [08:49] any ideas on what went wrong? [08:50] tra23874: well, I'm not entirely sure [08:50] sortof looks like the memory allocator [08:50] so how much RAM does your system have? [08:50] thanks for looking into it though [08:50] 8 GB [08:50] that should be quite fine [08:50] I tried the liveCD earlier and it loaded fine which seems a little strange [08:50] 64bit xubuntu? [08:50] Yes [08:51] well, you could try running memtest from the live cd, so checkif the memory isn't broken [08:51] just to make sure [08:51] hmm yeah I'll check that [08:51] it's available from the menu before xubuntu boots [08:51] it'll need to run for a few hours though [08:51] sure, thanks again [08:52] 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] right [08:52] other than that, you might want to stick around here, maybe someone else has an idea later on [08:54] 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] hmm, now I just got past that screen [08:55] I'm afraid I have little experience with dual boot / shared disk installs [08:56] Haldo [09:08] kenetik, when installing, make sure grub is installing to the correct drive. ubiquity sometimes guesses wrong. === addison is now known as Coterabeth [09:35] hey, happy ending, got it installed [09:35] just needed to change the partition sizes [09:36] looks like with smaller HDDs, the default size for the root partition is too small [09:57] hi all. How to set the default window manager to be xfwm4 instead of metacity? [10:08] foobarski: are you using xubuntu? [10:09] generally speaking, you might have to modify the session file [10:29] i have a problem with xscreensaver, don't authenticate even with correct password [10:30] caps-lock? wrong keyboard-layout? [10:48] ochosi, no [11:35] [Xubuntu 12.04.2] Is there a keyboard shortcut to pressing Applications menu > Log Out > Suspend? [11:38] bullgard4, see settings/keyboard/application shortcuts [11:41] cfhowlett: I had a look at Setting > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts. This list does not mention the Suspend command. [11:46] bullgard4, then it doesn't exist. Create your own shortcut and save it. [12:55] cfhowlett: What command-line command is entered if I press Applications menu > Log Out > Suspend? [12:57] bullgard4: xfce4-session --help [12:57] bullgard4: sorry i was wrong [12:57] bullgard4: this will give the answer... http://linux.die.net/man/1/xfce4-session-logout [13:09] baizon: No. '~$ xfce4-xsession-logout --suspend' works all right. -- Thank you very much for your help. [13:38] Can't find how to make the Enter key in a pressed state to act like a Control key [15:10] i have 306MB and everything working ok on xubuntu [15:10] ram [15:13] excellent [15:15] Version: Pentium III, Max Speed: 800 MHz, Current Speed: 450 MHz [15:16] after upgrade i try run firefox [15:19] nl278, you should try to install zram on your computer [15:22] GridCube: if i understend zram uses ram instead swap, but there is only 7 MB free ram in this pc [15:26] nl278, it makes usage of ram more efficient for low ram settings [15:26] in theory a whole lot more efficient [15:27] Hi all [15:27] GridCube: interesting, will install that [15:27] !hi | ice_kernel [15:27] ice_kernel: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu!
