[07:35] <nikolam> I don't like my every search on help.ubuntu.com going to the google's hands :(
[07:35] <nikolam> It should be avoided and use somethin in-house.
[07:37] <bazhang> nikolam, so learn to use the bot in /msg
[07:38] <ObrienDave> !ubottu
[07:38] <bazhang> nikolam, is  a PRIV MSG with the bot "in-house" enough for You?
[07:40] <ObrienDave> !42
[07:41] <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.
[07:42] <ObrienDave> bazhang, lmao :))
[09:40] <aziz> Hi everyone! Does somebody here own an MSI notebook from the GP60 series? How is your experience with it and Linux?
[10:52] <floyy> hello
[10:52] <floyy> I have problems with my sound
[10:53] <floyy> what should I check..
[10:53] <floyy> it's little bit quiet when I volume it up
[10:55] <ngomes> hello, brainwash , u there ?
[10:55] <ngomes> got a bug to report
[10:55] <ngomes> well, i think it is
[10:56] <knome> ngomes, then report it on launchpad
[10:57] <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
[10:58] <ngomes> knome, launchpad is an aplication or a website ?
[10:58] <xubuntu232> Hi
[10:59] <baizon> ngomes: website
[10:59] <ngomes> ok
[11:00] <knome> ngomes, bug 1224784
[11:01] <xubuntu232> I still have a few questions
[11:02] <knome> !ask | xubuntu232
[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 :/
[11:03] <knome> xubuntu232, no problem, but feel free to jusk ask
[11:04] <ngomes> knome, so its known , i dont need to report , right
[11:05] <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
[11:06] <knome> xubuntu232, conky
[11:06] <xubuntu232> which is working on xfce?
[11:06] <knome> xubuntu232, it's an additional package
[11:06] <ngomes> conky ?
[11:07] <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
[11:08] <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.
[11:09] <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
[11:10] <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 ?
[11:11] <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
[11:12] <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
[11:13] <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
[11:14] <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
[11:15] <xubuntu232> uhm..every major browser can handle ftp (afair)
[11:15] <ngomes> he told (s)ftp
[11:16] <ngomes> ops
[11:16] <ngomes> yes
[11:16] <ngomes> correct , every major browser can handle ftp
[11:17] <ngomes> well , gotta go , good work with it
[11:17] <xubuntu232> thanks _^
[11:17] <xubuntu232> ^_^
[11:26] <xubuntu232> uhm...where is my conky :/
[11:28] <xubuntu232> conky is installed. Do I need to get into my desktop settings?
[11:30] <xubuntu232> ah..just start it in the terminal
[11:36] <xubuntu232> conkey's manpage feels like never ending story :D
[11:48] <bullgard4> xubuntu232: You better claim that to the mailing list so it can be dealt with in due time.
[11:49] <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
[11:50] <bullgard4> knome: A manpage is an essential part of any Linux program.
[11:51] <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
[11:52] <bullgard4> Right. - No worries.
[15:47] <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*
[15:48] <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?
[15:53] <linux_newbie> Hello guys
[15:54] <bgardner> linux_newbie: Have you tried Settings->Display?
[15:58] <linux_newbie> bgardner: yes
[15:58] <linux_newbie> but I don't have the option to change ...
[15:59] <linux_newbie> I've just 1024x768 ... but my screen monitor is 1900x1200
[16:00] <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?
[16:02] <linux_newbie> is a Virtual Machine ...
[16:02] <bgardner> linux_newbie: Probably should have led with that.
[16:03] <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
[16:04] <linux_newbie> can I create a new xorg.conf and move to /etc/X11 ?
[16:05] <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
[16:06] <bgardner> linux_newbie: Certainly, good luck.  Sorry I can't do more for you.
[16:06] <linux_newbie> bgardener: no problem, thanks any way ...
[16:08] <elfy> linux_newbie: you'll need to install Guest Additions
[16:08] <elfy> then you'll be able to get other resolutions
[16:09] <elfy> http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html
[16:10] <GridCube> linux_newbie, you need to install the vbox addons
[16:22] <bufalo1973> hello
[16:23] <bgardner> !hi | bufalo1973
[16:59] <Pwnna> is it possible to map something like awesome wm into CTRL+ALT+F8 while having the xfce default still in CTRL+ALT+F7
[17:02] <bgardner> Pwnna: Yes... although not sure why you would want to.
[17:02] <Pwnna> well i want my regular window manager
[17:03] <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
[17:05] <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.
[17:07] <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..
[17:08] <bgardner> Pwnna: No idea.  You are pretty far off topic from the standard #xubuntu info you can expect, I'm afraid.
[17:09] <Pwnna> yeah. probably
[17:13] <Pwnna> well thanks, bgardner
[17:13] <bgardner> Pwnna: Certainly, good luck
[18:21] <xubuntu669> Ciao a tutti
[18:21] <bgardner> !it | xubuntu669
[18:22] <xubuntu669> sorry!
[18:23] <GridCube> xubuntu669, :) don't worry
[18:27] <xubuntu669> Hello, in italian chat nobody answer my question... can you help me?
[18:28] <bgardner> xubuntu669: We can sure try
[18:28] <xubuntu669> i need a suggest
[18:29] <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?
[18:30] <xubuntu669> i think lubuntu is too minimal, isn't it?
[18:31] <bgardner> xubuntu669: Honestly, 480Mb is below the minimum recommended RAM for both Xubuntu and Lubuntu.
[18:32] <bgardner> xubuntu669: What do you intend to use this machine for?
[18:33] <xubuntu669> office application, internet
[18:34] <xubuntu669> my friends suggest me vector light....is more light than xubuntu?
[18:34] <bazhang> I doubt office apps will run in that
[18:35] <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
[18:36] <bazhang> the actual distro makes no difference; no modern day browser/office suite will run on that amount of ram
[18:37] <xubuntu669> actually i use this notebook with win xp ice version with office 2003...firefox
[18:38] <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
[18:39] <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
[18:40] <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
[18:41] <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?
[18:42] <bazhang> I doubt any gui browser would even launch successfully
[18:42] <xubuntu669> ok thank's
[18:43] <Unit193> bazhang: Firefox and chromium wouldn't, but midori or xombrero have higher luck.
[18:44] <bazhang> Unit193, very good point
[18:44] <bazhang> an office suite though? thats what I doubt seriously
[18:45] <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.
[18:46] <bekks> abiword and gnumeric arent compatible with everything else, nor that capable.
[18:47] <Unit193> Quite true.
[18:47] <bekks> So I'd not us'em.
[18:48] <bazhang> heh he quit
