ochosinikolam: sounds like you should report a bug against vlc? (or was there another hidden question in your statement? :))08:38
nikolamochosi, yup, why life sucks so much? and what have I did to deserve this horrible faith with untested VLC in LTS? :D08:43

mario___i will restart my pc and enter in recovery mode to try12:49
mario___thanks for help bgardner :)12:50
bgardnermario___: You can try installing gnome-session, but I've been avoiding that because it will install a ton of packages.12:50
bgardnermario___: All right, good luck.12:50
cfhowlettbgardner, gnome on xubuntu just seems ... wrong.12:50
bgardnercfhowlett: I hear you, but I don't understand the error message.12:51
bgardnercfhowlett: Been forever since I burrowed into X this way.12:51
xubuntu897Hi all I hope you can help me. I installed xubuntu 13.04 on my pc and it runs quite a lot slower than mint 15 xfce. Is there something I can do to fix this?13:12
cfhowlettxubuntu897, turn off unnecessary eye candy: shimmers, glimmers and jumpers13:15
xubuntu897straight installation nothting installed13:15
xubuntu897on both xubuntu and mint13:16
cfhowlettxubuntu897, I'm referring to desktop/display effects13:16
xubuntu897no desktop effects active13:16
xubuntu897mint had cairo dock installed and it still outperformed xubuntu13:17
xubuntu897i tried installing the new kernel 3.11.1 and using the open source amd diskplay driver as the closed source driver trashed the os13:18
xubuntu897I am talking about slow to start up firefox etc13:19
cfhowlettxubuntu897, ONLY ff?13:20
mario__how i can start grub to start xubuntu in recovery mode ?13:22
xubuntu897cfhowlett what do you mean by xubuntu897, ONLY ff? sorry I do not know linux that well13:22
mario__when i restart pc i dont see the grub13:22
mario__automaticaly start xubuntu13:22
mario__but xubuntu is broken :@13:22
cfhowlettxubuntu897, are you saying it's slow ONLY when running FFOX?13:23
xubuntu897slow when opening up applications like firefox google chrome etc13:24
cfhowlettmario__, if you ONLY have xubuntu, you don't normally see grub, but it'll boot straight to ubuntu.13:24
xubuntu897<cfhowlett> when downloading files in fire fox the window to display to open or save takes a while13:25
xubuntu897<cfhowlett> any ideas other than installing mint13:46
xubuntu897Hi all on a clean install of xubuntu 13.04 why would xubuntu be slower to open up aplications and run applications compared to Mint 15 xfce13:49

knomenot many people joined since you asked; maybe try those other methods13:50
xubuntu897ubottu I have tried searching and the only thing I can come up with is preling13:50
ubottuxubuntu897: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)13:50

xubuntu749I am stuck at the install screen with (ubiquity:4773): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_window_resize: assertion 'width > 0' failed what do i do?20:52
argoneusHello22:37
argoneusI think I have done something wrong22:37
knomethe chair for confessions is at #xubuntu-offtopic22:37
argoneushttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6121524/22:38
argoneusI tried dualbooting xubuntu/windows22:38
argoneusbut looking at this it didn't really go well, did it?22:38
argoneuspartition 3 is not aligned according to align-check opt22:38
knomethat looks fine22:38
argoneusknome: it does? >.>22:39
knomeargoneus, yep22:44
glitchdhello all22:44
glitchdgot an easy question for anyone willing to help real quick22:45
argoneusknome: so I shouldn't worry about p3 not being aligned?22:45
glitchdwell, 2 questions really..22:45
knomeargoneus, it's extended, so it's basically 4+522:45
argoneusOh22:45
Maple__glitchd, just ask22:45
Maple__:p22:45
glitchdtrying to figure out how to 1) change where usb's are mounted to when inserted, and 2) trying to figure out how to rename said usb.22:46
glitchdMaple__, thx i was typing already..lol22:46
Maple__glitchd, do you mean changing the label for the partition?22:46
Maple__As for the first, you can disable Thunar's daemon.22:47
glitchdi believe so22:47
Maple__...and mount it manually via the terminal22:47
glitchdchange what name is displayed when the drive is inserted22:47
Maple__lemme check22:47
Maple__Uh, not sure about that.22:47
glitchdi dont mind the auto mount feature22:47
glitchdits just that, when inserted its mounted to /media/username instead of /media/usb22:48
knomeglitchd, gparted (from repositories) helps you change the label22:48
glitchdand sincee i originally installed with the usb, its named xubuntu 13.0422:48
glitchdi have gparted but keep running into an error, ill get the text from the error, 1 sec.22:48
glitchdok so first off, the usb is being mounted in /dev/sdc1 instead of /deb/sdb1, i know its not a problems but id rather have it in sdb122:49
glitchdlol it worked, i promise it wouldnt work earlier.22:50
glitchdbut thx none the less22:50
glitchdproblem solved22:50
glitchdwell half the problem anyways..22:51
knomethere's no way to control the dev name22:51
glitchdnow i have to figure out how to get it to mount in sdb1 and not sdc122:51
glitchdwompwomp22:51
glitchdoh well, ill just have to get used to it then i guess22:51
glitchdthx again=)22:51
knomeyou can add the stick to fstab by its UUID22:51
knome(and not automount)22:52
knomethat way you don't have to worry about the dev name22:52
glitchdbut i like the automount..22:52
knomewell you can set up automount with fstab as well22:52
glitchdi guess my problem really isnt a problem.22:52
knomeand you can control the mount directory22:52
glitchdjust a mild annoyance22:52
knomeno, doesn't sound like one :)22:52
glitchdall from fstab?22:53
knomeyep.22:53
knome!fstab22:53
ubottuThe /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions22:53
glitchdi have used fstab before to automount partitions, just not usb's22:54
glitchdill look at that info22:54
glitchdthank you22:54
knomeit's the same for usb devices, just make sure you use the UUID to catch the right device :)22:56
glitchdrightright, thankyou.22:57
argoneushonestly22:57
