jamiet74having trouble getting skype to work00:07
joe_shadingHi guys .. I am not sure if I am using  the Saucy Release of Xubuntu or not ... http://imgur.com/f6z7rc6 Am I ??00:07
David-Ajamiet74: more precisely, what problem?00:09
jamiet74 says audio playback not working00:10
Unit193joe_shading: That'd be a no, and  lsb_release -a00:12
David-Ajamiet74: and when you make a test-call, you do not hear anything?00:12
Unit193joe_shading: do-release-upgrade to upgrade.00:12
jamiet74wont go thru stops itself00:12
joe_shadingUnit193: So that command is : sudo apt-get release-upgrade  , Right ?00:13
Unit193joe_shading: ...No, `do-release-upgrade`00:14
jamiet74i can play music from pandora and sound files00:14
joe_shadingUnit193: Looks like saucy's doing it's business now , thank-you.00:17
Unit193joe_shading: Sure.00:22
David-Ajamiet74: in the settings dialog of skype, there should be a tab for sound or audio settings, where one can choose sound system or device.00:28

slash0megais a standard xubuntu instalation supposed to use a network mounted filesystem? i just installed xubuntu and it is crashing during bootup when starting then stopping that02:36
holsteinslash0mega: was this a case where a machine was failing? and you wanted to install linux on it? if so, it could be you are seeing errors relating to a hardware failure02:42
holsteinslash0mega: can the live CD boot up on the hardware?02:42
Poisoned_DragonJust for clarification, is 12.04 the last distro with non-pae kernels?03:01
holsteinPoisoned_Dragon: iirc, 12.04 has non PAE, but there nonPAE options for others03:08
Unit193Other distros, yes.  Upstream kernel removed it too.03:09
Poisoned_Dragongotcha. Just checking. Had to install 12.04 today. It's a capable pentium M but, they never bothered to give it a pae flag.03:11
Poisoned_DragonSo, PAE kernels look at it like it's unclean.03:11

noobkidhi there !07:24
cfhowlettnoobkid, greetings07:25
noobkidSorry to bother all of you here , I need help on repartitioning my C: drive which is my default boot disk . I am on Windows right now . This partition is for my Xubuntu . Should I create the unallocated space before or after ?  http://puu.sh/5h06c.png07:31
nv_im a little lost as to what your doing07:38
nv_can you be exactly concise about your intentions so we dont lose any data or give advise for the wrong intent07:39
noobkidi wanted to dual boot xubuntu alongside windows07:45
nv_then you dont need to do what you are doing07:47
noobkidbut i need a new partition ?07:50
nv_boot the xubuntu install disk, during the install, it will ask if you want to install alongside Windows, Erase and install just xubuntu or Something Else, you want to choose "Something Else". this will bring you to Xubuntu's partition manager where you will select which partition you want to install to. this tool is exactly like the Partition Manager tool you are using now, except setup for installing Xubuntu.07:50
nv_you will need unallocated space to create a "/" partition (like C:\ in windows)07:53
nv_you can resize, move and create new partitions as nessesary07:54
nv_you can also be in here and get help at the time just like you are doing now07:54
elfywhy not just use the install alongside option - then the install will create the / and swap for the install07:55
nv_because i still have no idea what hes doing07:59
cfhowlettnv_, and he's already left so ...07:59
CHUD_Warriorelfy: That's what I do. I install Windows on a fresh HD and then install Ubuntu using the "install alongside of..." option. The installer will recognise where Windows is and help me to make an informed decision on partitions.07:59
elfyCHUD_Warrior: personally I've always done partitioning prior to installing, but the guided thing should be the easiest thing.08:01
ovrflw0xwhy is (x)ubuntu font rendering better than opensuse KDE?09:17

cephyr_hi, i have a problem with xubuntu 13.10, every login it restores a old session, how to disable the restore of a session and just boot up with a fresh desktop?12:28
ObrienDaveunder Settings, sessions and startup, you will find that12:37
cephyr_there is no option for starting a clean session every login12:48
cephyr_obriendave12:48
xubuntu709Hi all. Is there any default system restore function in ubuntu similar to that of windows systems? My Xubuntu stopped loading itsels after recent system update and nothing helps me to get into graphical user interface, it hangs itself on boot screen with rotating ring segment forever (no errors or fails in console)?12:54
xubuntu709Choosing previous kernel in GRUB does not help either.12:55
ObrienDavecephyr_, turn off "save session on logout"13:08
ObrienDavethen make a "clean" session by closing all active windows, then "save current session"13:11
ObrienDavethat will give you a "clean" session on startup13:11
cephyr_obriendave, okay thank you i will give it a try13:12
Sysiit's better to remove old sessions13:12
cephyr_sysi, i already tried to remove old sessions and i already unticked the option save session on logout13:12

Mitizaroi thought they used different types of packages18:39
Mitizarofor the apps/programs18:39
baizonMitizaro: no, only DE, Ubuntu uses Unity, xubuntu xfce18:39
baizonMitizaro: both are based on debian and uses the deb format18:39
Mitizarowhich meaaans...? :D18:39
Mitizaroahaaa18:39
Mitizaroi see18:39
Mitizarowow18:39
Mitizaroi think my vector linux is deb based as well18:39
Mitizaroit requires .rpm  packages for its installations18:40
baizonMitizaro: no, it's based on slackware (according to wikipedia)18:40
Mitizaroi see18:40
Mitizaroi'm still quite new to the linux18:41
baizon.rpm is the Red Hat packaging format18:41
Mitizaroi have  2,4ghrz AMD (clocked ++ some hz, no voltage so = 2,6ghrz);  1,3gb ram,  nvidia geforce 5900zt     -- i was wondering exactly 3 things:   1st - is there point in installing UBUNTU/XUBUNTU;    2nd -- Could i play HON?      and finally 3rd question --  i have some problems because of the old processor (other people have the black screen on the game too)    -- and that would require some newer drivers and etc.   - XUBUNTU i suppose has it all?18:42

Mitizaroi have nothing but to test18:44
Mitizarothe thing is18:44
baizon1. i would recommend xubuntu (because we are on #xubuntu), 2. yes and no. 3. xubuntu uses the latest drivers18:44
Mitizaroi've already been through.... 10-12 linuxes here18:44
Mitizaroi have all the puppies, have 3 lubuntu versions, 2 ubuntu, 4 mint, 1 mandriva, vector, legos4 etc.18:44
baizonMitizaro: but you will have a HoN related problemm, because it need 1.5GB Ram18:45
Mitizaroreally?18:45
Mitizaroi think it wants 1gb at minimum18:45
baizonMitizaro: no sorry, i was wrong. It's ok :)18:45
Mitizaroyeah18:45
baizonyes you're right 1GB Ram. Some other site told me 1.5GB18:45

LiquidedgeIs that the dot file you're talking about?22:18

LiquidedgeOkay.  Do you have suggestions on which ones?22:19
