| genii | !nomodeset | 00:15 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 00:15 |
| xubuntu613 | hello ¡¡¡ i,m help | 00:16 |
| xubuntu508 | <ubottu> thank you | 00:17 |

| xubuntu613 | alguien da soporte en español? | 00:24 |
| knome | !es | xubuntu613 | 00:24 |
| ubottu | xubuntu613: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 00:24 |

| knome | xubuntu508, please, don't paste in the channel | 00:27 |
| xubuntu508 | sorry :( | 00:28 |
| knome | xubuntu508, did you ask for help in #ubuntu-ru? | 00:28 |
| xubuntu508 | <knome> I do not trust them :D | 00:29 |
| knome | xubuntu508, they are just as knowledgeable as we are | 00:30 |
| xubuntu508 | my example with menuentry will work? grub.cfg <knome> | 00:31 |
| knome | xubuntu508, that's not my area expertise; i don't know | 00:31 |
| `Fibz` | okay, i added nomodeset to /etc/default/grub and ran sudo update-grub and restarted, but i still have no bootsplash or the XFCE splash. its just a blank screen untill the system is fully booted and logged in (auto-login enabled) | 00:34 |
| xubuntu508 | <knome> but still thanks for the link to the Russian channel | 00:34 |
| xubuntu508 | I love ubuntu, enjoyed two years with no problems, the version of Ubuntu 11.10, but I decided to put everything collapsed and 13.10 <xubuntu508> <knome> | 00:37 |
| xubuntu508 | I am very upset. 5 days have passed, but the problem is not solved | 00:40 |
| knome | !patience | xubuntu508 | 00:41 |
| ubottu | xubuntu508: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 00:41 |
| `Fibz` | i missed the issue, but if it's really that bad, you can go back to 13.04 or 12.04 | 00:41 |
| xubuntu508 | I'm sorry for your persistence. 'm going to bang your head on the keyboard. I hope my problem will be solved (Russian humor) <knome> | 00:43 |
| knome | xubuntu508, good luck | 00:44 |

| dmitryshm | Hi people! | 02:44 |
| dmitryshm | Have a question if you don't mind. | 02:44 |
| dmitryshm | How can I enable llvmpipe in my XUbuntu 12.04? I have read lots of articles with environment vars settings but it doesn't enable llvmpipe. Only simple software rendering. | 02:46 |
| zsoc | alsamixer is showing my audio is fine, i can f6 and poke around and change volume etc. xubuntu 13.10 - but I have no audio, and on the taskbar, the audio thing is blank: ie no soundcard. I'm assuming pulseaudio is not working properly? How to troubleshoot | 04:20 |
| indeego | Hello to everybody! Does anyone know how to start common desktop environment on xubuntu 13.10 with latest kernel (ending with *.11) ? The problem is I have clean Xubuntu installation with no old kernel so I can not choose kernel 3.8 in GRUB, I have to boot with new kernel and I get black blank screen after logging on. Consoles work OK, so I managed to get here to ask some help. Thanks in advance. | 04:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | indeego: is your graphics card from amd ? | 05:00 |
| indeego | Sorry for long reply, no Intel integrated in Core i3 GFX, and consoles work ok | 05:12 |
| indeego | Does anybody know what is the root cause of black screen on kernel 3.11 | 05:15 |
| Unit193 | You try nomodeset? | 05:16 |
| cfhowlett | indeego, I don't know, but if the earlier kernel worked, use that ... | 05:16 |
| indeego | How do I install old kernel from console? | 05:17 |
| zsoc | You can wget/dpkg the deb of whatever kernel version from kernel.ubuntu.com | 05:18 |
| cfhowlett | indeego, reboot. when grub comes back, use "older version of ubuntu" | 05:19 |
| zsoc | Or follow that extremely simple advice ^^ | 05:19 |
| cfhowlett | indeego, assuming you've upgraded your kernel, the older kernels are still there. | 05:19 |
| indeego | Thanks, guys, but it was CLEAN installation an everything worked OK till today, there are no kernels except 3.11 | 05:23 |
| indeego | I'll go try nomodeset first, thanks to Unit193 and all of you | 05:28 |
| zsoc | I clean installation where everything works except all of a sudden, and he instablames the kernel... | 05:35 |
| xubuntu116 | hello | 05:42 |
| xubuntu116 | i have a question if you dont mind me asking | 05:42 |
| zsoc | Is there an !asktoask trigger in this channel? heh | 05:43 |
| well_laid_lawn | !ask | 05:56 |
| ubottu | 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 | 05:56 |
| xubuntu196 | is may someone help me ? what is root pass in xubuntu 13.04 | 06:30 |
| cfhowlett | !root|xubuntu196, | 06:30 |
| ubottu | xubuntu196,: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 06:30 |
| xubuntu196 | tnks | 06:31 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | LOL... A unique spin of a movie quote. | 06:33 |
| cfhowlett | I think most readers fail to make the link ... or am I just an old fart? | 06:36 |

| neongas | Why is the default interface language not English in Xubuntu 13.10? | 16:06 |
| knome | neongas, it is not. | 16:06 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | it's not? | 16:07 |
| knome | it is not non-english | 16:07 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | oh lol | 16:07 |
| neongas | menu options and labels are in some weird language that I don't understand. | 16:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Technically, it's whatever you configure it to be at install | 16:08 |
| neongas | Poisoned_Dragon, I am talking about default of xubuntu Saucy liveCD. | 16:08 |
| knome | neongas, where did you download that livecd from? | 16:09 |
| neongas | releases.ubuntu.com | 16:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | neongas, you pick the language at boot | 16:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | maybe you picked the wrong language. | 16:09 |
| neongas | Poisoned_Dragon, It never asked me to pick a language. I directly landed in the desktop. | 16:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Can you copy and paste a sample, or screen cap and paste? | 16:10 |
| neongas | http://i.imgur.com/kbWOBFG.png | 16:11 |
| neongas | The language looks like some Indian language | 16:11 |
| neongas | I am in India, but still default should be English. | 16:12 |
| neongas | The language changed when I connected to internet. | 16:14 |
| neongas | Some program in the backgrounded might have tried to find my location based on my IP address? | 16:14 |
| neongas | IP address-to-location is still not at all accurate here in India. So do not rely on it to guess what language I might be speaking. | 16:15 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | It actually looks closer to Bengali | 16:15 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | You mean to tell me that your language changed when you connected to the internet? | 16:16 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | That's not even a listed feature. | 16:17 |
| neongas | Poisoned_Dragon, yes | 16:17 |
| GridCube | neongas, log off, and in the login screen change the language option for the interface | 16:17 |
| neongas | ok brb | 16:17 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | wait! | 16:17 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | awwww | 16:17 |
| GridCube | oh, wait, this is the livecd | 16:17 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | he was in a live session | 16:17 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | LOL | 16:17 |
| GridCube | thats peculiar | 16:18 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I'm literally laughing. | 16:18 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Well, accidents happen | 16:18 |
| GridCube | i though it was a live install | 16:18 |
| GridCube | i mean a real install | 16:18 |
| GridCube | he might have choosen a different lang at the first stage of the livecd session | 16:18 |
| GridCube | in this step http://i1.wp.com/desktoplinuxreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Xubuntu-13.10-Try-or-Install.jpg | 16:19 |
| neongas | the language selected in the drop down language menu on login screen was "Bangla - Bangladesh" | 16:20 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Heh! I was right | 16:20 |
| neongas | I'll try to restart my machine and boot back into livecd | 16:20 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Well, at least it worked out | 16:21 |
| neongas | back into liveCD. I did't get any screen asking me whether I want to begin the installation right away or try out the LiveCD. | 16:26 |
| neongas | waiting for the language to change spontaneously again.... | 16:27 |
| neongas | Got it. The problem is if you log in from the display manger login screen you get the "Bangla - Bangladesh" language by default. | 16:31 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | huh, interesting | 16:31 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | But, you can change it on the fly | 16:31 |
| GridCube | neongas, can you repeat the issue? tell me and ill try here | 16:31 |
| neongas | nothing to do with internet. | 16:31 |
| neongas | GridCube, start the machine, select LiveCD from BIOS boot option. You'll directly land into the Xfce desktop. (You won't be prompted whether you want to install or try the Live experience). Now log out. Type xubuntu as username, leave password field blank and log in. You'll get "Bangla" language. | 16:34 |
| GridCube | neongas, i386 or amd64? | 16:35 |
| neongas | i386 | 16:35 |
| GridCube | oh well, i dont have that iso at the moment | 16:35 |
| GridCube | ill test it later then | 16:35 |
| GridCube | please fill a bug report against ubiquity neongas | 16:36 |
| neongas | GridCube, or should file against lightdm? the login/display manager selects the wrong language by default for users logging in. | 16:37 |
| GridCube | mmhm | 16:37 |
| GridCube | probably thats better | 16:37 |
| GridCube | but you should be able to select the language even before the lightdm takes session | 16:38 |
| GridCube | in this step http://i1.wp.com/desktoplinuxreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Xubuntu-13.10-Try-or-Install.jpg | 16:38 |
| GridCube | its before lightdm | 16:38 |
| neongas | GridCube, I don't even get prompted with that window. | 16:39 |
| knome | not sure there is anything to report against ubiquity; it's not used | 16:39 |
| GridCube | then thats a bug in ubiquity | 16:39 |

| cousteau | I just got a multimedia keyboard. It comes with a volume wheel thingy. However, when I open the sound preferences, I see that there are 2 output options: HDMI and analog internal stereo audio. The one I use (and is marked with a green checkmark) is the analog internal audio. Scrolling on the volume icon on the panel affects this control. However, turning the volume wheel affects the HDMI one. Why? | 18:00 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I'm surprised the volume wheel works at all | 18:02 |
| cousteau | shouldn't it affect whatever audio output is set as default? | 18:02 |
| cousteau | well, I don't see why not, it's just a regular XF86 key | 18:03 |
| phoo | http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=xubuntu+configure+keyboard+volume+wheel | 18:04 |
| phoo | leads you to http://askubuntu.com/questions/199742/volume-control-via-media-keys-in-xubuntu | 18:04 |
| phoo | "In short: Settings -> Settings Editor Find the section xfce4-mixer. Set the value of property active-card to the same as the value of sound-card." :) | 18:04 |
| cousteau | phoo, ok, thanks | 18:06 |
| cousteau | I don't have a "sound-card" entry... I'll have to figure it out (or maybe keep reading) | 18:06 |
| cousteau | anyway, shouldn't it be the same as the volume icon? | 18:06 |
| cousteau | or have some generic way to configure it? | 18:06 |
| cousteau | and who translated "Line in" as "Online" in the Spanish locale? | 18:07 |
| GridCube | che cousteau que modelo de teclado es? | 18:09 |
| cousteau | dell | 18:10 |
| GridCube | ups ah.. sorry 'bout that | 18:10 |
| GridCube | cousteau, no the model, see the label in its back | 18:10 |
| cousteau | so as Poisoned_Dragon suggested, it's surprising that the wheel works at all | 18:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Well, doesn't mean it shouldn't. I just didn't know it was a thing. | 18:10 |
| cousteau | SK-8135 | 18:11 |
| cousteau | Poisoned_Dragon, I said that because of my experience with Dell mice and scrollwheels | 18:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I'm use to the idea that not all custom kb buttons can work. Especially when manufacturers have been know to use non-standard key codes. | 18:11 |
| cousteau | Poisoned_Dragon, there's some standardization apparently | 18:11 |
| GridCube | cousteau, http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=21539 | 18:12 |
| GridCube | in the keyboards i've used it always worked the media keys | 18:12 |
| cousteau | yeah, but I have 2 outputs: headphones and HDMI | 18:14 |
| GridCube | yep | 18:14 |
| cousteau | the speaker icon controls the default one (the headphones), but the kbd controls the first one instead (which happens to be the HDMI one) | 18:14 |
| cousteau | followed the instructions at http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=21539 and resetted the property. Instead of being reset it got deleted m( | 18:16 |
| cousteau | duh, it was auto-regenerated... but to the same value | 18:17 |
| knome | cousteau, just checking: are you running xubuntu and not crunchbang? | 18:19 |
| leif_ | back | 18:19 |
| cousteau | knome, yeah, xubuntu | 18:20 |
| cousteau | I just followed a link GridCube gave me | 18:20 |
| knome | cousteau, ok, sure, continue. :) | 18:20 |
| * cousteau reveals that he actually uses crunchbang and starts trolling about how it's better than xubuntu | 18:21 | |
| cousteau | not really | 18:21 |
| * knome puts his finger on "the" button | 18:21 | |
| cousteau | I've had this problem with Mint users claiming that it's "the same as Ubuntu" before; it can get really annoying | 18:21 |
| knome | yep, i was just checking | 18:22 |
| cousteau | so I'm using Xubuntu (I've never used crunchbang)... could someone tell me what the property says? | 18:22 |
| cousteau | xfce4-mixer /active-card | 18:22 |
| cousteau | ...or how can I just disable the HDMI output? | 18:23 |
| cousteau | ...wait, I didn't have xfce4-mixer installed :| | 18:24 |
| knome | that depends on the card, for me it's SBAudigy2UnknownAlsamixer, if you think that helps.. | 18:25 |
| knome | (looking at xfce4-settings-editor) | 18:25 |
| knome | don't know if changing that value helps with your problem, but you can always try... | 18:25 |
| cousteau | yeah, problem was that I didn't have xfce4-mixer installed | 18:26 |
| knome | does it work now? | 18:26 |
| cousteau | it's HDAIntelPCHAlsamixer for me | 18:26 |
| cousteau | aaand there we go! | 18:28 |
| cousteau | (I uninstalled xfce4-mixer once I didn't need it anymore) | 18:28 |
| cousteau | ...only, when I mute it I cannot ummute it; it gets stuck in mute until I click the volume icon and change it manually | 18:29 |
| cousteau | but that's a minor issue | 18:29 |
| cousteau | ok, thanks for the help! going home, bye! | 18:31 |

| xubuntu453 | my friend usually solved all my ubuntu problems | 22:08 |
| xubuntu453 | my disk space WAS low | 22:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | You know, you could always boot off a livecd and do some house keeping. | 22:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | In livecd, you are root | 22:09 |
| bekks | Open a terminal and type "df -h". The column "Use%" tell you how much % of your disk(s) are used. | 22:09 |
| bekks | Poisoned_Dragon: You dont need to use live cd for housekeeping. | 22:10 |
| xubuntu453 | is there any way to get a remote Teamviewer support person to check this out? | 22:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Well, if you mean he can login with tty, I suppose. | 22:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | but the livecd would give him a graphical way to do it | 22:10 |
| xubuntu453 | yes but he would be logging in as Guest as I have | 22:11 |
| xubuntu453 | how am i supposed to retrieve my files? | 22:11 |
| xubuntu453 | what is a livecd? | 22:12 |
| xubuntu453 | im sorry I dont know anything | 22:12 |
| xubuntu453 | i need to access some remote help | 22:12 |
| xubuntu453 | Chinese people dont use Ubuntu, I tried taking it in today and they were baffled | 22:13 |
| knome | xubuntu453, ok, first, calm down | 22:13 |
| knome | xubuntu453, you have been given good advice; what about following that, and if you still do not understand, ask for more instructions? | 22:13 |
| xubuntu453 | i have not yet been given good advice | 22:14 |
| xubuntu453 | for this issue | 22:14 |
| xubuntu453 | i am seeking advice | 22:14 |
| knome | xubuntu453, yes you have | 22:15 |
| knome | xubuntu453, 00:09 bekks: Open a terminal and type "df -h". The column "Use%" tell you how much % of your disk(s) are used. | 22:15 |
| xubuntu453 | ok illl try that | 22:15 |
| xubuntu453 | Accessories>Terminal Emulator.. I typed in df-h and it said 'command not found" Here's a copy: | 22:17 |
| xubuntu453 | guest-suSs0T@Janis-Notebook:~$ df-h df-h: command not found guest-suSs0T@Janis-Notebook:~$ | 22:17 |
| bekks | "df-h" isnt "df -h" | 22:17 |
| bekks | Note the whitespace. | 22:17 |
| dont-panic | xubuntu453: try sudo df -h | 22:17 |
| dont-panic | bekks: good catch | 22:18 |
| bekks | dont-panic: No sudo needed, a whitespace is needed. | 22:18 |
| xubuntu453 | OK | 22:18 |
| xubuntu453 | Here's a copy with whitespace: | 22:18 |
| xubuntu453 | guest-suSs0T@Janis-Notebook:~$ df-h df-h: command not found guest-suSs0T@Janis-Notebook:~$ df- h No command 'df-' found, did you mean: Command 'df' from package 'coreutils' (main) Command 'dfo' from package 'dfo' (universe) Command 'dff' from package 'dff' (universe) df-: command not found guest-suSs0T@Janis-Notebook:~$ | 22:18 |
| bekks | "df- h" isnt "df -h" | 22:18 |
| dont-panic | xubuntu453: df -h | 22:18 |
| knome | xubuntu453, please pay attention. | 22:19 |
| dont-panic | if that's too hard just stick to df | 22:19 |
| xubuntu453 | i typed df- h...what am i doing wrong then | 22:19 |
| knome | xubuntu453, df -h | 22:19 |
| xubuntu453 | yes that's what i entered | 22:20 |
| bekks | No. You entered "df- h". We told you to enter "df -h". | 22:20 |
| knome | xubuntu453, please note the order of the letters and whitespace | 22:20 |
| dont-panic | xubuntu453: so 'df' is a command and '-h' is an argument to make it human readable, together you get 'df -h' | 22:20 |
| knome | xubuntu453, stop lying and start paying attention. | 22:20 |
| xubuntu453 | Ok thank you . this time it worked | 22:21 |
| xubuntu453 | i am fairly worked up and tired | 22:21 |

| dont-panic | xubuntu453: don't panic lol | 22:22 |
| xubuntu453 | lol thanks trying | 22:22 |
| bekks | xubuntu453: As I suspected your /home is entirely filled up so you cant log in anymore. | 22:22 |
| xubuntu453 | wish i could smoke in my room | 22:22 |
| xubuntu453 | ah is this fixable? | 22:22 |
| xubuntu453 | i assume it is | 22:22 |
| dont-panic | xubuntu453: yeah | 22:23 |
| xubuntu453 | can you help me or should i access some other support | 22:23 |
| knome | xubuntu453, we can; stay calm and follow our instructions | 22:24 |
| xubuntu453 | k | 22:24 |
| bekks | Yes, it is. Try logging in from a terminal, press ctrl+alt+f1, login, delete some unused files in your home directory. when finished, press ctrl+alt+f7 to come back here :) | 22:24 |
| xubuntu453 | promise i will | 22:24 |
| xubuntu453 | to the best of my ability that is | 22:24 |
| * dont-panic thinks someone should ask for bash in a nutshell for christmas | 22:25 | |
| knome | !chat | dont-panic | 22:25 |
| ubottu | dont-panic: #xubuntu is the Xubuntu support channel, for all Xubuntu-related support questions. Please use #xubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 22:25 |
| dont-panic | meh, these are really #bash questions | 22:26 |
| xubuntu453 | hey they're just trying to calm the newbie down | 22:26 |
| xubuntu453 | i will try the terminal login now | 22:26 |
| knome | dont-panic, it's completely on-topic for xubuntu support | 22:26 |
| dont-panic | xubuntu453: I queried you, ping me back if you want a walk through | 22:26 |
| xubuntu453 | thanks, got you, sent msg | 22:28 |
| xubuntu871 | Hello | 22:42 |
| knome | !hello | xubuntu871 | 22:44 |

| ubottu | xubuntu871: 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! | 22:44 |
| xubuntu871 | I cant boot from usb, any ideas? | 22:44 |
| knome | xubuntu871, what can't you boot from usb, does your bios support and has enabled booting from usb? | 22:45 |
| xubuntu871 | I've done it before, its only with xubuntu | 22:45 |
| xubuntu871 | it just boots straight into kubuntu (main partition) | 22:46 |
| dro | hi everybody | 22:47 |
| knome | !hello | dro | 22:47 |
| ubottu | dro: 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! | 22:47 |
| dro | i'm blocking on an issue right now... I have an ATI graphic card, HD6870. Everytimes that I try to install it with the official AMD drivers, after reboot + logon, my desktop shows only the wallpaper. I actually have two screens plugged on this card, DVI both. I also have the DVI out from the intel graphic integrated into my i5 processor, maybe a conflict ? | 22:50 |
| dro | :) | 22:50 |
| dro | since 3 months, I reinstall again and again xubuntu. Every two weeks, I try. | 22:51 |
| dro | I tried a lot of different solutions found over the web, but it never works :'( | 22:51 |
| dro | if I try the proprietary drivers via the updates, then black screen... | 22:52 |
| dro | That's all, feel free to ask me for more precisions ;) | 22:52 |
| knome | what's wrong with the open source drivers? :) | 22:53 |
| dro | haha, nice question | 22:53 |
| dro | I forgot to say that fan noise is TERRIBLE ! | 22:53 |
| dro | don't have this problem with proprietary drivers on windows | 22:54 |
| dro | actually, this is my only problem with XFCE, so frustrating | 22:54 |
| dro | xubuntu, apologize | 22:54 |
| xubuntu871 | omfg, this is stupid, why wont it boot | 22:55 |
| knome | xubuntu871, calm down and watch the language | 22:55 |
| xubuntu871 | sorry | 22:55 |
| knome | dro, what version are you on? | 22:55 |
| knome | xubuntu871, have you checked if the ISO checksum is OK? | 22:56 |
| dro | 13.10, and I also tried 13.04 more than 20 times on clean install | 22:56 |
| dro | still the same problem on 13.10 | 22:56 |
| xubuntu871 | yes | 22:56 |
| dro | maybe a conflict with my other graphic processor :'( | 22:58 |
| dro | but I don't want to disable it, because I use it to watch movies on TV | 22:58 |
| dro | I mean the third DVI port on my mother board | 22:59 |
| dro | really frustrating, I love xubuntu | 22:59 |
| knome | dro, unfortunately, tehre isn't much we can do about proprietary drivers.. | 23:00 |
| knome | there* | 23:00 |
| dro | of course, I more trying to find some people that experience the same issue | 23:01 |
| dro | but anyway, thank you for your time :) | 23:01 |
| knome | no problem | 23:01 |
| dro | i'll come back another time ! Good night/day everybody | 23:03 |
| knome | good night and good luck | 23:03 |
| dro | thanks man | 23:04 |
| dro | ++++ | 23:04 |
| xubuntu871 | the mirror downloads, are thye 32 or 64 bit~? | 23:14 |
| knome | xubuntu871, the mirrors have both versions. | 23:17 |
| xubuntu871 | kk | 23:17 |
| xubuntu871 | Ok, so the pendrive works with just the standard ubuntu live disk | 23:20 |
| dont-panic | well that was fun | 23:30 |
| xubuntu361 | \JanShanghai | 23:51 |
