[03:39] <kj5t> Anyone else having issues with Flash on xUbuntu 13.04
[03:40] <kj5t> Installed it with the Ubuntu Software Center, it appears to have installed cleanly, but Firefox isn't detecting it
[03:43] <ObrienDave> kj5t,  have you tried to load a webpage and see if it works?
[03:43] <kj5t> Yes -- flash websites do not work.
[03:46] <ObrienDave> kj5t,  was that flashplugin-installer? or a different package?
[03:47] <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
[03:49] <ObrienDave> have you tried the firefox add-in method?
[03:49] <ObrienDave> *add-on
[03:50] <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
[03:51] <kj5t> That seems to have done the trick
[03:52] <ObrienDave> cool
[03:52] <kj5t> ...and now bed time
[03:52] <ObrienDave> nighters
[10:30] <xubuntu323> hello
[10:30] <xubuntu323> I have a quick questionon the xubuntu installation
[10:32] <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?
[10:34] <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?
[10:35] <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
[10:36] <ObrienDave> oic, well then you need to add a swap partition.
[10:37] <ObrienDave> if you choose the "install along side windows" option it's automatic
[10:38] <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"
[10:39] <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
[10:40] <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
[10:41] <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
[10:42] <xubuntu323> thanks. I'll try that
[10:42] <ObrienDave> let us know how it goes :)
[10:43] <xubuntu323> uhmm..no gparted pre-installed?
[10:43] <knome> nope
[10:44] <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
[10:45] <xubuntu323> and I can update/upgrade then?
[10:45] <ObrienDave> yes
[10:46] <xubuntu323> wtf...gparted is installed but not in the list for programs
[10:46] <knome> !language | xubuntu323
[10:46] <xubuntu323> okay :/
[10:50] <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
[10:51] <knome> i would imagine there will be as much swap as there is ram
[10:53] <xubuntu323> well..there is only one way to find out :D
[10:54] <ObrienDave> no point in having more swap than RAM
[10:56] <xubuntu323> how so? as long as it helps against the lags :o
[10:58] <ObrienDave> only eats up drive space if larger than RAM
[11:23] <xubuntu323> it worked \o/
[11:23] <ObrienDave> yay!
[11:23] <xubuntu323> I'm not totally convinced :o
[11:23] <ObrienDave> how so?
[11:24] <xubuntu323> there was constant random noise from the speakers while I was at the login screen
[11:24] <ObrienDave> was or is?
[11:25] <xubuntu323> was.now it's fine but I still want to try the audio
[11:25] <ObrienDave> ok, the default is ALSA
[11:26] <xubuntu323> oh..I was just trying youtube ^^"
[11:27] <ObrienDave> does it work?
[11:27] <xubuntu323> it is
[11:27] <ObrienDave> very cool. welcome to Xubuntu!
[11:27] <xubuntu323> thanks ^_^
[11:28] <ObrienDave> i've tried a dozen or so flavors of Linux. keep coming baxk to Xubuntu every time LOL
[11:28] <ObrienDave> *back
[11:29] <xubuntu323> I'm impressed an *buntu is actually working on my eee. the others just crashed. even mint with xfce was really really slow
[11:30] <ObrienDave> I'm an old DOS guy, I actually remember windows 1.0 this new fancy stuff does not impress me at all
[11:31] <ObrienDave> i want an OS to WORK. forgat the eyecandy
[11:31] <ObrienDave> *forget
[11:32] <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.
[11:34] <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 :/
[11:35] <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
[11:36] <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
[11:37] <xubuntu323> altough: it's chaging now to chrome -.-
[11:37] <ObrienDave> *their
[11:40] <xubuntu323> I can't install opera :/
[11:40] <ObrienDave> hang on a sec
[11:41] <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
[11:42] <cfhowlett> xubuntu323, so ... if you KNOW it's the wrong architecture ...
[11:42] <ObrienDave> back in a minute or so
[11:44] <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
[11:45] <knome> or use a PPA: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/opera (or another browser)
[11:46] <xubuntu323> thanks ObrienDave. I come to the same download page (with the same titel) but get a different download ^_^
[11:47] <ObrienDave> you should have gotten the 386 d/l
[11:47] <ObrienDave> page
[11:47] <xubuntu323> right
[11:48] <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
[11:50] <xubuntu323> dont worry. my xubuntu knows better and keeps ignoring my install requests :o
[11:51] <xubuntu323> interesting way to keep the computer safe
[11:51] <xubuntu323> closing and opening the software center worked \o/
[11:56] <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
[11:57] <xubuntu323> cool...even skype. is it stable (yet)?
[11:58] <ObrienDave> i use it. works for me
[11:59] <xubuntu323> and most of the time I just need to do the commands listed in every entry to get them?
[12:00] <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
[12:03] <ObrienDave> going through official repos makes sure that all dependencies are met before installing
[12:15] <xubuntu323> there is no checking on the dependencies first?
[12:17] <ObrienDave> yes, if you go through the official repos
[12:45] <xubuntu323> zomg ponies notifications doesnt have as much ponys as I expected :/
[12:46] <ObrienDave> ponies???
[12:46] <XRS1> not enuff ponies
[12:46] <ObrienDave> okay, new one on me
[12:47] <xubuntu323> notification design
[12:47] <XRS1> xubuntu323,  http://imgur.com/yYt85N1
[12:47] <XRS1> you have options
[12:48] <xubuntu323> If I have a stalker I want this to be his desktop <3
[12:48] <ObrienDave> TMI ;)
[12:49] <xubuntu323> http://twitpic.com/6gzfuw
[12:50] <ObrienDave> okaaaaay, way too much info ;)

[13:01] <xubuntu548> hey every one

[13:02] <xubuntu548> I tried a lot of things but it won't work
[13:02] <ObrienDave> make and model, please?
[13:03] <xubuntu548> BTO Intel Dual band ac 7260
[13:03] <ObrienDave> do you need a custom driver?
[13:04] <xubuntu548> normally not
[13:04] <xubuntu548> Intel made one
[13:05] <ObrienDave> so, i have to assume your wi-fi is not working?
[13:06] <xubuntu323> make a new connection?
[13:06] <xubuntu548> no i  just plugged my ethernet cable in my pc
[13:07] <xubuntu323> and what makes you think it's not working?
[13:07] <ObrienDave> have you toggled the wi-fi switch? if it has one
[13:08] <xubuntu548> He hasn't one
[13:09] <ObrienDave> ok do you see the Ethernet connection on the taskbar?
[13:10] <xubuntu548> Yes I see
[13:10] <ObrienDave> right click on that and see if wi-fi is checked
[13:11] <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
[13:12] <xubuntu548> I tried something like that but it didn't work
[13:14] <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
[13:15] <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
[13:16] <ObrienDave> ok, let's ADD a wi-fi connection
[13:16] <xubuntu548> ok
[13:16] <xubuntu548> done
[13:17] <ObrienDave> ok, you need to fill out the form for SSID, security, etc.
[13:17] <ObrienDave> and anything else your router requires
[13:19] <ObrienDave> brb
[13:24] <ObrienDave> k, b
[13:29] <xubuntu511> ok sorry now I'm back but it won't work the wifi
[13:30] <ObrienDave> are the settings correct?
[13:31] <xubuntu511> Yes i verified with another laptop ( windows )
[13:32] <ObrienDave> is this a dual boot machine?
[13:32] <xubuntu511> not yet
[13:33] <xubuntu511> For university i 'm going to run windows 7 and linux
[13:33] <xubuntu511> I prefer linux but sometimes i need windows :(
[13:33] <ObrienDave> did you overwrite windows already?
[13:34] <xubuntu511> Yes I did
[13:34] <xubuntu511> First install windows and then xubunut is that an option?
[13:35] <xubuntu511> xubuntu *
[13:36] <ObrienDave> yes, it's better to install windows first
[13:37] <xubuntu511> ok I 'll do it
[13:49] <ObrienDave> my apologies but I need some sleep. l8r
[14:43] <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
[14:44] <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?
[14:45] <yeyeman> where can I find those settings?
[14:46] <Sysi> settings manager
[14:46] <yeyeman> I found it
[14:47] <yeyeman> it's weird that this would have become enabled without my consent
[14:48] <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] <knome> yet you said "i have disabled screen saver"
[14:49] <yeyeman> I did it after installing xubuntu, two months ago
[15:21] <xubuntu785> !!!
[15:21] <xubuntu785> help

[15:23] <Pici> okay then.
[15:35] <xubuntu323> uhm...how can I put pidgin into the tray bar?
[15:36] <xubuntu323> ah
[16:17] <tenc> What is the difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu? Are the differences isolated to desktop and prepackaged software? Are there core differences beyond that?
[16:17] <Pici> Yes, no.
[16:17] <Pici> !flavors
[16:18] <tenc> Perfect. Thanks Pici. ^^
[16:42] <yeyeman> where is the setting to change the position of the desktop panel?

[20:24] <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
[20:25] <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] <memosto> ok thank,
[20:26] <memosto> but you have an option for install xubuntu widthout graphics
[20:27] <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)
[20:30] <elfy> it does
[20:31] <knome> other options are using lubuntu, or the minimal ISO
[21:00] <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.
[21:27] <xubuntu323> uhmm
[21:27] <xubuntu323> I'm a bit suprised with the file names
[21:28] <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] <xubuntu323> a number counting upwards..every copied folder or file gets a higher number instead of their old names
