| kj5t | Anyone else having issues with Flash on xUbuntu 13.04 | 03:39 |
|---|---|---|
| kj5t | Installed it with the Ubuntu Software Center, it appears to have installed cleanly, but Firefox isn't detecting it | 03:40 |
| ObrienDave | kj5t, have you tried to load a webpage and see if it works? | 03:43 |
| kj5t | Yes -- flash websites do not work. | 03:43 |
| ObrienDave | kj5t, was that flashplugin-installer? or a different package? | 03:46 |
| kj5t | flashplugin-install -- first I installed it with Ubuntu Software Center, I then removed it after it didn't work and added it with apt-get --- I see the libflashplayer.so is in /usr/bin/flashplayer-installer so it looks like it installed okay | 03:47 |
| ObrienDave | have you tried the firefox add-in method? | 03:49 |
| ObrienDave | *add-on | 03:49 |
| kj5t | For grins I am updated firefox, still have version 23 | 03:50 |
| kj5t | updating* | 03:50 |
| ObrienDave | ok, let's see how that goes first | 03:50 |
| kj5t | That seems to have done the trick | 03:51 |
| ObrienDave | cool | 03:52 |
| kj5t | ...and now bed time | 03:52 |
| ObrienDave | nighters | 03:52 |
| xubuntu323 | hello | 10:30 |
| xubuntu323 | I have a quick questionon the xubuntu installation | 10:30 |
| xubuntu323 | I'm at the part for the partitions and I want do encrypt the /home area. Do I need to set up 3 different partitions ( /, swap and /home) or how is the encryption working on /home? | 10:32 |
| ObrienDave | no, it will only encrypt the home directory | 10:34 |
| ObrienDave | swap and home will be 2 different partitions | 10:34 |
| xubuntu323 | So no need for a special partition for /home? | 10:34 |
| ObrienDave | nope, the install will make the partitions automatically | 10:35 |
| xubuntu323 | I'm doing them manually because I still have a win xp on the netbook | 10:35 |
| ObrienDave | oic, well then you need to add a swap partition. | 10:36 |
| ObrienDave | if you choose the "install along side windows" option it's automatic | 10:37 |
| xubuntu323 | there is no option for that | 10:38 |
| ObrienDave | should be one, try the back button at the bottom | 10:38 |
| xubuntu323 | "swap windows with xubuntu", "encrypt your ubuntu installation", "install a LVM for your ubuntu installation" and " do something different" | 10:38 |
| ObrienDave | you running 13.10? | 10:39 |
| knome | maybe there isn't enough space on the hard disk to install alongside, which is why it's not suggested | 10:39 |
| xubuntu323 | Latest release: 13.04, Raring Ringtail | 10:39 |
| ObrienDave | this is true. how large is the free space under your XP partition? | 10:40 |
| xubuntu323 | knome: exactly my next point. I dont have any space left since I have a completely encrypted crunch bang linux install on the rest of the hdd | 10:40 |
| xubuntu323 | so if I run xubuntu live, use gparted then and delete crunch bang and then I start the installation wizard again it should work automatically? | 10:41 |
| knome | i would assume so | 10:41 |
| ObrienDave | i would think so. no guarantees | 10:41 |
| xubuntu323 | thanks. I'll try that | 10:42 |
| ObrienDave | let us know how it goes :) | 10:42 |
| xubuntu323 | uhmm..no gparted pre-installed? | 10:43 |
| knome | nope | 10:43 |
| xubuntu323 | ubuntu software center says gnome and kde editions of gparted are installed | 10:44 |
| xubuntu323 | btw I'm using Latest release: 13.04, Raring Ringtail | 10:44 |
| xubuntu323 | which isn't the latest one anymore, right? | 10:44 |
| knome | then run gparted from the terminal or with alt+f2 | 10:44 |
| knome | it is, 13.10 will be released in october | 10:44 |
| xubuntu323 | and I can update/upgrade then? | 10:45 |
| ObrienDave | yes | 10:45 |
| xubuntu323 | wtf...gparted is installed but not in the list for programs | 10:46 |
| knome | !language | xubuntu323 | 10:46 |
| ubottu | xubuntu323: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 10:46 |
| xubuntu323 | okay :/ | 10:46 |
| xubuntu323 | ok, it seems to work. but..uhmm...how much swap will there be? Can I go with the automatic settings? I just have 1gb ram | 10:50 |
| knome | i would imagine there will be as much swap as there is ram | 10:51 |
| xubuntu323 | well..there is only one way to find out :D | 10:53 |
| ObrienDave | no point in having more swap than RAM | 10:54 |
| xubuntu323 | how so? as long as it helps against the lags :o | 10:56 |
| ObrienDave | only eats up drive space if larger than RAM | 10:58 |
| xubuntu323 | it worked \o/ | 11:23 |
| ObrienDave | yay! | 11:23 |
| xubuntu323 | I'm not totally convinced :o | 11:23 |
| ObrienDave | how so? | 11:23 |
| xubuntu323 | there was constant random noise from the speakers while I was at the login screen | 11:24 |
| ObrienDave | was or is? | 11:24 |
| xubuntu323 | was.now it's fine but I still want to try the audio | 11:25 |
| ObrienDave | ok, the default is ALSA | 11:25 |
| xubuntu323 | oh..I was just trying youtube ^^" | 11:26 |
| ObrienDave | does it work? | 11:27 |
| xubuntu323 | it is | 11:27 |
| ObrienDave | very cool. welcome to Xubuntu! | 11:27 |
| xubuntu323 | thanks ^_^ | 11:27 |
| ObrienDave | i've tried a dozen or so flavors of Linux. keep coming baxk to Xubuntu every time LOL | 11:28 |
| ObrienDave | *back | 11:28 |
| xubuntu323 | I'm impressed an *buntu is actually working on my eee. the others just crashed. even mint with xfce was really really slow | 11:29 |
| ObrienDave | I'm an old DOS guy, I actually remember windows 1.0 this new fancy stuff does not impress me at all | 11:30 |
| ObrienDave | i want an OS to WORK. forgat the eyecandy | 11:31 |
| ObrienDave | *forget | 11:31 |
| xubuntu323 | I dont care about the eyecandy. but the funny thing is: I never had a linux on that eee which was atleast as fast as the xp on that. | 11:32 |
| ObrienDave | well, the only *buntu lighter than this is Lubuntu. it's way to minimal for me | 11:34 |
| xubuntu323 | and I thought xubuntu is the light version :/ | 11:34 |
| ObrienDave | Xubuntu is a nice balance of performance and usability | 11:35 |
| knome | if you want to chatter more about *buntu* generally, i'd suggest #xubuntu-offtopic | 11:35 |
| knome | thansk! | 11:35 |
| knome | thanks too... | 11:35 |
| xubuntu323 | I'm just hoping I can get opera installed | 11:35 |
| ObrienDave | why? try chrome | 11:36 |
| xubuntu323 | I dont like chrome or ff | 11:36 |
| xubuntu323 | I've been an opera user for the past decade | 11:36 |
| ObrienDave | that's cool. to each theie own | 11:36 |
| xubuntu323 | altough: it's chaging now to chrome -.- | 11:37 |
| ObrienDave | *their | 11:37 |
| xubuntu323 | I can't install opera :/ | 11:40 |
| ObrienDave | hang on a sec | 11:40 |
| xubuntu323 | it's not in the repos so I go to opera.com and choose ubuntu and stuff...but it says wrong architecture then. which is true since opera.com is giving me a amd64.deb on my x86 system | 11:41 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu323, so ... if you KNOW it's the wrong architecture ... | 11:42 |
| ObrienDave | back in a minute or so | 11:42 |
| xubuntu323 | cfhowlett: it's the only thing the download page is giving me ..O__o | 11:44 |
| ObrienDave | try this page? | 11:44 |
| ObrienDave | http://www.opera.com/download/guide/?os=linux-i386&list=all | 11:44 |
| knome | or use a PPA: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/opera (or another browser) | 11:45 |
| xubuntu323 | thanks ObrienDave. I come to the same download page (with the same titel) but get a different download ^_^ | 11:46 |
| ObrienDave | you should have gotten the 386 d/l | 11:47 |
| ObrienDave | page | 11:47 |
| xubuntu323 | right | 11:47 |
| xubuntu323 | shouldn't I get a new PPA now? | 11:48 |
| ObrienDave | you can if you like | 11:48 |
| Maple__ | As with all PPAs, be cautious. :o | 11:48 |
| xubuntu323 | dont worry. my xubuntu knows better and keeps ignoring my install requests :o | 11:50 |
| xubuntu323 | interesting way to keep the computer safe | 11:51 |
| xubuntu323 | closing and opening the software center worked \o/ | 11:51 |
| ObrienDave | here is a good PPA page for you | 11:56 |
| ObrienDave | http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas | 11:56 |
| knome | basically, you never should use PPA's if you can get the software from the ubuntu repositories, which is usually the case | 11:56 |
| xubuntu323 | cool...even skype. is it stable (yet)? | 11:57 |
| ObrienDave | i use it. works for me | 11:58 |
| xubuntu323 | and most of the time I just need to do the commands listed in every entry to get them? | 11:59 |
| knome | you can get skype from the canonical partner repositorye | 12:00 |
| knome | -e | 12:00 |
| ObrienDave | it is best to add the PPA to your software sources list. but, generally, yes | 12:00 |
| ObrienDave | going through official repos makes sure that all dependencies are met before installing | 12:03 |
| xubuntu323 | there is no checking on the dependencies first? | 12:15 |
| ObrienDave | yes, if you go through the official repos | 12:17 |
| xubuntu323 | zomg ponies notifications doesnt have as much ponys as I expected :/ | 12:45 |
| ObrienDave | ponies??? | 12:46 |

| ObrienDave | do you need a custom driver? | 13:03 |
| xubuntu548 | normally not | 13:04 |
| xubuntu548 | Intel made one | 13:04 |
| ObrienDave | so, i have to assume your wi-fi is not working? | 13:05 |
| xubuntu323 | make a new connection? | 13:06 |
| xubuntu548 | no i just plugged my ethernet cable in my pc | 13:06 |
| xubuntu323 | and what makes you think it's not working? | 13:07 |
| ObrienDave | have you toggled the wi-fi switch? if it has one | 13:07 |
| xubuntu548 | He hasn't one | 13:08 |
| ObrienDave | ok do you see the Ethernet connection on the taskbar? | 13:09 |
| xubuntu548 | Yes I see | 13:10 |
| ObrienDave | right click on that and see if wi-fi is checked | 13:10 |
| ObrienDave | if not, click it | 13:11 |
| xubuntu548 | He just say i can replace it but nothing else | 13:11 |
| koegs | http://askubuntu.com/questions/322511/no-wireless-with-intel-centrino-advanced-n-7260 | 13:11 |
| koegs | not looking good | 13:11 |
| xubuntu548 | I tried something like that but it didn't work | 13:12 |
| ObrienDave | ok, try right ckick on connection icon, click edit connections | 13:14 |
| xubuntu548 | He just finds the bluetooth module not the wifi module | 13:14 |
| ObrienDave | *click | 13:14 |
| ObrienDave | thats the wrong icon | 13:14 |
| xubuntu548 | ok done it | 13:14 |
| ObrienDave | do you see a wi-fi connection? | 13:15 |
| xubuntu548 | no it was an answer to koegs | 13:15 |
| ObrienDave | ok, sorry | 13:15 |
| xubuntu548 | np | 13:15 |
| xubuntu548 | no only a wired network is shown | 13:15 |
| ObrienDave | ok, let's ADD a wi-fi connection | 13:16 |
| xubuntu548 | ok | 13:16 |
| xubuntu548 | done | 13:16 |
| ObrienDave | ok, you need to fill out the form for SSID, security, etc. | 13:17 |
| ObrienDave | and anything else your router requires | 13:17 |
| ObrienDave | brb | 13:19 |

| yeyeman | I have disabled screen saver, but the screen still seems to go black | 14:43 |
| yeyeman | after ~20 min | 14:43 |
| yeyeman | this behavior started today | 14:43 |
| yeyeman | the only change I can think of was a firefox update | 14:44 |
| Sysi | see power manager settings | 14:44 |
| knome | yeyeman, are you sure that's just not the power saving feature? | 14:44 |
| yeyeman | where can I find those settings? | 14:45 |
| Sysi | settings manager | 14:46 |
| yeyeman | I found it | 14:46 |
| yeyeman | it's weird that this would have become enabled without my consent | 14:47 |
| knome | it's probably always have been enabled, you just didn't know because you had screensaver enabled | 14:48 |
| yeyeman | I never had screen saver enabled | 14:48 |
| yeyeman | and this was not enabled either, until today | 14:48 |

| memosto | hi a littel question I have an older pc. i try to install xubuntu , i need an option in booting for install without the live session | 20:24 |
| memosto | only install from booting option is possible? | 20:24 |
| memosto | (hi) and sorry for my very bad english | 20:24 |
| memosto | is possible lunch a non-graphic installer | 20:25 |
| knome | memosto, what's your native language? | 20:25 |
| memosto | in xubuntu for install it? | 20:25 |
| memosto | italian | 20:25 |
| knome | !it | memosto | 20:25 |
| ubottu | memosto: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 20:25 |
| memosto | ok thank, | 20:25 |
| memosto | but you have an option for install xubuntu widthout graphics | 20:26 |
| David-A | memosto: xubuntu 12.04 has an "Alternate CD" with a less graphical installation interface and without a live session (if I recall correctly) | 20:27 |
| elfy | it does | 20:30 |
| knome | other options are using lubuntu, or the minimal ISO | 20:31 |
| zukeprime | Anyone here using Numix theme and Numix icon set with xfce? My notification icons are "dark" where they should be "light" for a dark background. No issues with unity on a different box. | 21:00 |

| xubuntu323 | I'm a bit suprised with the file names | 21:27 |
| xubuntu323 | I got my android plugged in via usb and use smt or so and everytime I copy something from that device to the computer the filename change to numbers | 21:28 |
