| ubottu | Hi! I'm #xubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 07:38 |
| bazhang | nikolam, is a PRIV MSG with the bot "in-house" enough for You? | 07:38 |

| bazhang | ubottu, shaddap! | 07:41 |
| nikolam | bazhang, it is very nice. but I need to point people to the solution fast. And using google on help.ubuntu.com goes against everyone's privacy. | 07:41 |
| nikolam | i'll try ubottu | 07:41 |
| bazhang | nikolam, its the very best. and there is nothing faster. | 07:41 |
| ObrienDave | bazhang, lmao :)) | 07:42 |
| aziz | Hi everyone! Does somebody here own an MSI notebook from the GP60 series? How is your experience with it and Linux? | 09:40 |
| floyy | hello | 10:52 |
| floyy | I have problems with my sound | 10:52 |
| floyy | what should I check.. | 10:53 |
| floyy | it's little bit quiet when I volume it up | 10:53 |
| ngomes | hello, brainwash , u there ? | 10:55 |
| ngomes | got a bug to report | 10:55 |
| ngomes | well, i think it is | 10:55 |
| knome | ngomes, then report it on launchpad | 10:56 |
| ngomes | update-manager told me i had 79 upgrades to make , i did ... "computer is up to date" appear ... 1 minute later it tells me i have more 3 updates to make but i cant update by network manager it always tell me "computer is up to date". running apt-get upgrade showed me the 3 upgrades i had | 10:57 |
| ngomes | knome, launchpad is an aplication or a website ? | 10:58 |
| xubuntu232 | Hi | 10:58 |
| baizon | ngomes: website | 10:59 |
| ngomes | ok | 10:59 |
| knome | ngomes, bug 1224784 | 11:00 |
| ubottu | bug 1223321 in update-notifier (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1224784 update-notifier notifies of phased-updates for which you may not be eligible" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1223321 | 11:00 |
| xubuntu232 | I still have a few questions | 11:01 |
| knome | !ask | xubuntu232 | 11:02 |
| ubottu | xubuntu232: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 11:02 |
| xubuntu232 | I know what a meta question is...just wanted to be nice and good instead of just shooting out my noob questions :/ | 11:02 |
| knome | xubuntu232, no problem, but feel free to jusk ask | 11:03 |
| ngomes | knome, so its known , i dont need to report , right | 11:04 |
| knome | ngomes, that's right | 11:05 |
| ngomes | but mine is a little different | 11:05 |
| ngomes | it updates X then tells me there's more Y | 11:05 |
| knome | in what way? | 11:05 |
| xubuntu232 | 1. I was wondering what the desktop thingy is called which is like a task manager and shows you your cpu power and temperature. the one which is embedded into the wallpaper | 11:05 |
| ngomes | but fails to update Y , but with apt-get upgrade , it does | 11:05 |
| knome | xubuntu232, conky | 11:06 |
| xubuntu232 | which is working on xfce? | 11:06 |
| knome | xubuntu232, it's an additional package | 11:06 |
| ngomes | conky ? | 11:06 |
| knome | ngomes, which version are you running? | 11:07 |
| ngomes | 13.04 | 11:07 |
| knome | ngomes, i think what you're having is that bug, the rest of it is normal | 11:07 |
| ngomes | ok fine | 11:08 |
| ngomes | thanks for your help | 11:08 |
| knome | no problem | 11:08 |
| xubuntu232 | 2. transmission is just a torrent client? I need something for easy sharing with other ppl. I dont have dropbox or so. any suggestions? small ftp? | 11:08 |
| knome | xubuntu232, yes, transmission is just a torrent client. | 11:08 |
| ngomes | xubuntu232, share with lan or share with internet ? | 11:09 |
| xubuntu232 | over the internet unfortunately | 11:09 |
| ngomes | yeah ftp or sftp will do | 11:09 |
| knome | dropbox or other similar services might be better, depending how much and how often you need to share files | 11:10 |
| knome | (or how big) | 11:10 |
| xubuntu232 | but that's not rocket science to configure a sftp server? I always need port forwarding in my router? | 11:10 |
| ngomes | xubuntu232, few days ago i saw a tutorial how to make an ftp server with openssh , does it interest you ? | 11:10 |
| knome | it's not the most trivial of tasks, but there are tutorials. and yes, you'll need port forwarding | 11:11 |
| xubuntu232 | they are not that big or not that often but friends use trillian or icq and I have pidgin -> no file transfer possible -.- | 11:11 |
| knome | xubuntu232, how's email? | 11:11 |
| xubuntu232 | not everybody has a good provider which allows bigger attachment | 11:11 |
| knome | i imagine dropbox or such services might be good fit for you then | 11:12 |
| ngomes | xubuntu232, here's the tutorial i saw -> http://xmodulo.com/2013/06/how-to-set-up-secure-sftp-server-in-linux.html | 11:12 |
| knome | (s)ftp server might be a bit overkill, but that's of course up to you | 11:12 |
| xubuntu232 | I dont like having my stuff on the internet. especially when it's an american company | 11:13 |
| ngomes | yeah , can be ftp with vsftp daemon | 11:13 |
| knome | xubuntu232, then you probably should set up an sftp server. as i said, it's up to your needs | 11:13 |
| xubuntu232 | well..my friends are not really into computers so as long as they can access (s)ftp over their browser and use a guest login ..that would be enough | 11:13 |
| ngomes | i dont know about the browser ... but they can use filezilla , an ftp client ... ? | 11:14 |
| ngomes | this filezilla client available on windows and linux | 11:14 |
| xubuntu232 | uhm..every major browser can handle ftp (afair) | 11:15 |
| ngomes | he told (s)ftp | 11:15 |
| ngomes | ops | 11:16 |
| ngomes | yes | 11:16 |
| ngomes | correct , every major browser can handle ftp | 11:16 |
| ngomes | well , gotta go , good work with it | 11:17 |
| xubuntu232 | thanks _^ | 11:17 |
| xubuntu232 | ^_^ | 11:17 |
| xubuntu232 | uhm...where is my conky :/ | 11:26 |
| xubuntu232 | conky is installed. Do I need to get into my desktop settings? | 11:28 |
| xubuntu232 | ah..just start it in the terminal | 11:30 |
| xubuntu232 | conkey's manpage feels like never ending story :D | 11:36 |
| bullgard4 | xubuntu232: You better claim that to the mailing list so it can be dealt with in due time. | 11:48 |
| bullgard4 | Or even better to Launchpad. | 11:49 |
| xubuntu232 | bullgard4: oh no.maybe it's a bit big for starters but it gives you so many options. I just need to find the one I need | 11:49 |
| knome | bullgard4, the conky man page? it's not installed by default and it's not essential, so no action will be taken regarding that anyway | 11:49 |
| bullgard4 | knome: A manpage is an essential part of any Linux program. | 11:50 |
| knome | bullgard4, yes, and an exhaustive one exists for conky. | 11:51 |
| knome | bullgard4, i don't think it would make much sense if the manpage didn't list all the options | 11:51 |
| bullgard4 | Right. - No worries. | 11:52 |

| linux_newbie | Hello guys! | 15:47 |
| linux_newbie | Please, I need help ... | 15:47 |
| linux_newbie | I downloaded the lasted version xbuntu ... | 15:47 |
| linux_newbie | but, I can change the screen resolution ... | 15:47 |
| linux_newbie | I can't* | 15:47 |
| linux_newbie | Where are the configuration file of X in the Xbuntu? | 15:48 |
| linux_newbie | How I can add a new screen resolution mode? | 15:48 |
| linux_newbie | Hello guys | 15:53 |
| bgardner | linux_newbie: Have you tried Settings->Display? | 15:54 |
| linux_newbie | bgardner: yes | 15:58 |
| linux_newbie | but I don't have the option to change ... | 15:58 |
| linux_newbie | I've just 1024x768 ... but my screen monitor is 1900x1200 | 15:59 |
| linux_newbie | I'm in the directory: /etc/X11 ... | 16:00 |
| bgardner | linux_newbie: What is your video card? Are you 100% certain it can output at the full resolution that the monitor can accept? | 16:00 |
| linux_newbie | is a Virtual Machine ... | 16:02 |
| bgardner | linux_newbie: Probably should have led with that. | 16:02 |
| bgardner | linux_newbie: So you installed Xubuntu 13.04 in a VM and now you want to increase the display resolution, is that correct? | 16:03 |
| linux_newbie | VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter | 16:03 |
| linux_newbie | yes, correct | 16:03 |
| linux_newbie | can I create a new xorg.conf and move to /etc/X11 ? | 16:04 |
| bgardner | linux_newbie: I'm afraid I don't have any experience with a Linux guest on a VM, only as a host. Perhaps others here can assist. | 16:05 |
| bgardner | linux_newbie: You can, but that's not to say that you should. | 16:05 |
| linux_newbie | bgardner, ok | 16:05 |
| linux_newbie | thank you for your help | 16:05 |
| bgardner | linux_newbie: Certainly, good luck. Sorry I can't do more for you. | 16:06 |
| linux_newbie | bgardener: no problem, thanks any way ... | 16:06 |
| elfy | linux_newbie: you'll need to install Guest Additions | 16:08 |
| elfy | then you'll be able to get other resolutions | 16:08 |
| elfy | http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html | 16:09 |
| GridCube | linux_newbie, you need to install the vbox addons | 16:10 |
| bufalo1973 | hello | 16:22 |
| bgardner | !hi | bufalo1973 | 16:23 |
| ubottu | bufalo1973: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 16:23 |
| Pwnna | is it possible to map something like awesome wm into CTRL+ALT+F8 while having the xfce default still in CTRL+ALT+F7 | 16:59 |
| bgardner | Pwnna: Yes... although not sure why you would want to. | 17:02 |
| Pwnna | well i want my regular window manager | 17:02 |
| Pwnna | right now what i'm doing is i'm coding in tty1 | 17:03 |
| Pwnna | but i need to switch back occasionally | 17:03 |
| Pwnna | as i like my regular window manager. for non-coding i would not really want to use something like awesome, or tty1 | 17:03 |
| bgardner | Pwnna: Well, whatever your reasons you can start a new X instance on display :1 and set it up on vtty8 or whatever. Let me see if I can find you a HOWTO for that. | 17:05 |
| Pwnna | yeah. idk where that is | 17:07 |
| Pwnna | the tutorials/docs | 17:07 |
| bgardner | Pwnna: http://askubuntu.com/questions/14873/how-to-run-multiple-user-x-sessions-on-the-same-computer-at-the-same-time#14874 | 17:07 |
| Pwnna | that's what i'm trying | 17:07 |
| Pwnna | is there a way to reload the window managers installed? | 17:07 |
| Pwnna | i don't want to reboot as i'm compiling.. | 17:07 |
| bgardner | Pwnna: No idea. You are pretty far off topic from the standard #xubuntu info you can expect, I'm afraid. | 17:08 |
| Pwnna | yeah. probably | 17:09 |
| Pwnna | well thanks, bgardner | 17:13 |
| bgardner | Pwnna: Certainly, good luck | 17:13 |

| xubuntu669 | Ciao a tutti | 18:21 |
| bgardner | !it | xubuntu669 | 18:21 |
| ubottu | xubuntu669: 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) | 18:22 |
| xubuntu669 | sorry! | 18:22 |
| GridCube | xubuntu669, :) don't worry | 18:23 |
| xubuntu669 | Hello, in italian chat nobody answer my question... can you help me? | 18:27 |
| bgardner | xubuntu669: We can sure try | 18:28 |
| xubuntu669 | i need a suggest | 18:28 |
| xubuntu669 | i've a very old notebook with 480 mb ram and Celeron M Processor 1.4 (Acer Travel Mate 2312) | 18:29 |
| xubuntu669 | i need to install Xubuntu o Lubuntu? | 18:29 |
| xubuntu669 | i think lubuntu is too minimal, isn't it? | 18:30 |
| bgardner | xubuntu669: Honestly, 480Mb is below the minimum recommended RAM for both Xubuntu and Lubuntu. | 18:31 |
| bgardner | xubuntu669: What do you intend to use this machine for? | 18:32 |
| xubuntu669 | office application, internet | 18:33 |
| xubuntu669 | my friends suggest me vector light....is more light than xubuntu? | 18:34 |
| bazhang | I doubt office apps will run in that | 18:34 |
| xubuntu669 | libre office? | 18:35 |
| bgardner | xubuntu669: I agree with bazhang - it likely doesn't matter which you run (Xubuntu, Lubuntu, etc) when Libreoffice is going to struggle in that amount of RAM. | 18:35 |
| bazhang | and a browser? a command line could work | 18:35 |
| bazhang | I doubt it will even open | 18:35 |
| bazhang | the actual distro makes no difference; no modern day browser/office suite will run on that amount of ram | 18:36 |
| xubuntu669 | actually i use this notebook with win xp ice version with office 2003...firefox | 18:37 |
| bazhang | what is "ice version" | 18:38 |
| xubuntu669 | a light version of win xp | 18:38 |
| bekks | xubuntu669: Thats not an official version. | 18:38 |
| bazhang | thats very hard to believe | 18:38 |
| xubuntu669 | i'm chatting with u now | 18:39 |
| bazhang | office is not exactly lean on the ram usage | 18:39 |
| bazhang | sure, irssi and screen with links or other cli browser would be doable | 18:39 |
| bekks | xubuntu669: Doesnt matter - "win xp ice" is not an official XP version. | 18:40 |
| Unit193 | Abiword and gnumeric are default, not as heavy as libreoffice. | 18:40 |
| xubuntu669 | but are compatible with office suite? | 18:40 |
| bazhang | sure, but even then it would be for all intents and purposes unusable | 18:40 |
| Unit193 | Some try that little ram with Lubuntu, but I'd personally use antix or plain ol' Debian. You can try the mini.iso for the same effect, though. | 18:41 |
| bazhang | unless you enjoy very slow "mono-tasking" | 18:41 |
| bekks | xubuntu669: Ask Microsoft, if some unofficial XP release is compatible with their software. | 18:41 |
| xubuntu669 | and? | 18:41 |
| bazhang | I doubt any gui browser would even launch successfully | 18:42 |
| xubuntu669 | ok thank's | 18:42 |
| Unit193 | bazhang: Firefox and chromium wouldn't, but midori or xombrero have higher luck. | 18:43 |
| bazhang | Unit193, very good point | 18:44 |
| bazhang | an office suite though? thats what I doubt seriously | 18:44 |
| Unit193 | Well, libreoffice and openoffice are more compatible, but abi and 'meric are much less resource intensive, still not sure how well it'd go though. | 18:45 |
| bekks | abiword and gnumeric arent compatible with everything else, nor that capable. | 18:46 |
| Unit193 | Quite true. | 18:47 |
| bekks | So I'd not us'em. | 18:47 |
| bazhang | heh he quit | 18:48 |
