| lnostdal | is there a known problem with the notification / indicator icons ..? .. mine are showing up wrong in more ways than one .. perhaps i should get rid of all old settings for my user? | 00:15 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | lnostdal, if you're using 13.10, i'd suggest reading the release ntoes. | 00:16 |
| lnostdal | i heard about the volume indicator or something, but thought that was the only one with problems .. but i'll check the notes again | 00:16 |
| knome | well basically, there are problems with many indicators (the panel only supports gtk2 indicators, and we don't have them all ported to gtk3, and some that are aren't working) | 00:17 |
| lnostdal | ok | 00:17 |
| lnostdal | i got 2 pidgin icons, 3 battery indicator icons .. 1 wlan icon .. heh .. i have to click them all - one by one, to see what's what x) | 00:20 |
| lnostdal | ohwell, thanks | 00:20 |
| Danato | hey can anybody tell what script is loaded right after loading X? something similar to /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup | 00:20 |
| Danato | on xfce | 00:21 |
| knome | lnostdal, check if you have both the indicator area and the messaging area (or whatever they are called) | 00:22 |

| Peyam | Hi | 07:14 |
| Peyam | I wanted to install ubuntu 13.10 and I didnt like it, I decided to reinstall xubuntu 13.04 and when I install it after reboot it gives me " reboot and select proper boot device" I never had this problem before. What do I do? | 07:15 |
| nv_ | sounds like it didnt install the boot loader to the correct dive. boot from live disk and install boot-repair, then run boot-repair. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 07:52 |

| bekks | I dont know which graohics hardware you have. | 11:50 |
| cenal_ | I'm having a lot of difficulty finding documentation on Xubuntu and it's Macbook Pro support. | 11:52 |
| cenal_ | There is a lot of documentation out there for vanilla Ubunut, but it seems to be based around a custom distribution of that release. | 11:53 |
| cenal_ | Does anyone know if Xubuntu supports Apple hardware? | 11:53 |
| bekks | cenal_: It does, the same as Ubuntu. | 11:53 |
| cenal_ | bekks: I'm not having luck finding an ISO purpose built for Mac like I did with Ubuntu, is there a link you can share? | 11:54 |
| bekks | cenal_: just install ubuntu, and xubuntu-desktop afterwards. | 11:54 |
| Sysi- | AFAIK xubuntu should boot from CD on mac | 11:55 |
| bekks | It does, the same as Ubuntu. | 11:55 |
| cenal_ | bekks: I've been trying to build a USB installer following the instructions from the Ubuntu website because the CD drive is busted on this Macbook Pro 3,1 (2007 Santa Rosa) model Macbook Pro. | 11:55 |
| cenal_ | It gets to the efi loader screen and says it will take a few minutes to boot, but it never does. | 11:56 |
| cenal_ | I'm using a Linux friendly EFI enhancement tool called refind (http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/) | 11:56 |
| Sysi- | I'd get a usb cd/dvd drive | 11:59 |
| cenal_ | From what I've read only an Apple Superdrive is bootable by the EFI loader on a Macbook Pro | 12:00 |
| bekks | cenal_: That may apply, yes. | 12:01 |
| cenal_ | It's too old to sink any money into. | 12:01 |
| Sysi- | apple firmware has bios emulation, but I don't know how does it apply for usb optical drives | 12:02 |
| debasis | Sorry...i think this xubuntu is not suit for me...i have to change to ubuntu again | 12:03 |
| cenal_ | Have you ever used a USB install for xubuntu on a Macbook Pro before? | 12:03 |
| bekks | debasis: On Ubuntu, you have to install a graphics drivver as well. | 12:04 |
| debasis | no bekks...i already told u...i have ubuntu before....and there i was getting the full screen desktop | 12:04 |
| bekks | debasis: Your keyboard is broken. It repeats the . key 3 to 4 times everytime you press it once. | 12:05 |
| debasis | i didnt used any hardware extra there...i hard used Linux mint also...there also i didnt face any problem | 12:05 |
| bekks | debasis: Please stop using "..." instead proper punctuation. | 12:06 |
| debasis | Sorry. | 12:06 |

| bazhang | debasis, several have already been made, try some | 12:10 |
| cenal_ | Not sure if I got disconnected momentarily so this might be a repost to an answered question but here goes: has anyone on here successfully created a USB bootable disk of Xubuntu that works on a Macbook Pro? | 12:10 |
| debasis | xrandr? | 12:11 |
| bazhang | debasis, or arandr if you need a gui | 12:16 |
| debasis | ok.i am trying in xrandr | 12:17 |
| debasis | actually i dont know what are these | 12:17 |

| Donnie_Darko21 | hello ppl i m in /usr/lib/ and now i see firefox ,firefox addons ,flashplugin instaler and mozilla i want to copy and paste flashplugin so where to paste ? | 15:21 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | anyone ? | 15:26 |
| elfy | !patience | Donnie_Darko21 | 15:26 |
| ubottu | Donnie_Darko21: 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/ | 15:26 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | yeah ok :) sorry | 15:27 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | just want to complete this beautiful os flash,java | 15:28 |
| isosceles | Is Xubuntu substantially faster than Ubuntu? The Xubuntu page doesn't make much of a sales pitch this OS. | 15:46 |
| elfy | it can be - it is for me :) | 15:47 |
| isosceles | That's good to hear. Does it bootup faster? | 15:47 |
| elfy | not especially so - but I'm generally in the kitchen waiting for the kettle then ;) | 15:48 |
| isosceles | Anybody else think this OS is or is not faster than Ubuntu? | 15:49 |
| isosceles | Also I'm interested to know if it can be run as live everytime, like puppy. Puppy is just too limited for me. | 15:50 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | xubuntu it is faster ram speed etc and is for low pc the new ubuntu need at least 2 gb ram | 15:50 |
| elfy | you can run it live - persistence you want | 15:50 |
| isosceles | i have 8 gb ram so not problem there. i just notice that applications opened from puppy open very immediately. from ubunutu, not so much. | 15:51 |
| elfy | I'd suspect you'd see them open much quicker in xubuntu | 15:52 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | lol u got 8gb ram i got 2gb ram and i used ubuntu 12.04 for a long time was fast but not so fast :) | 15:52 |
| isosceles | i might be a little impatient and obsessed with speed | 15:53 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | damn i hate this flash ... when i try to ./install_plugin i got some error Installing from local file cp: cannot stat ‘’: No such file or directory | 15:54 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | what the fuc is wrong with flash how do you install flash omg | 15:55 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | omg | 16:02 |
| brainwash | sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 16:02 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | you have version 11,2,202,327 installed | 16:02 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | and why is telling be that my adoble flash is vulnerable ? | 16:03 |
| brainwash | who's telling you that? | 16:03 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | addons | 16:03 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | Linux Mozilla, Firefox, SeaMonkey (Flash Player 11.2 is the last supported Flash Player version for Linux. Adobe will continue to provide security updates.) 11.2.202.327 | 16:04 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | i got 327 now | 16:04 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | but why is still red | 16:04 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | i want to be green :) | 16:04 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | whats wrong ? | 16:04 |
| brainwash | ask the mozilla guys | 16:04 |
| brainwash | or install chrome and enjoy the latest flash player evrsion | 16:05 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | cant understand | 16:05 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | but its says 327 is the latest version | 16:06 |
| brainwash | you should ask the developers of firefox about this issue | 16:06 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | i got installed latest version | 16:06 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | i installed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 16:06 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | and got 2 files now the libflashplayer.so | 16:07 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | and the flashplugin-alternative | 16:07 |
| brainwash | yes right, but we don't know why firefox flags this version as being vulnerable | 16:07 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | did adobe have irc ? | 16:08 |
| brainwash | adobe does not care, you will have to ask the mozilla devs | 16:08 |
| brainwash | they provide the update check | 16:08 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | oh they are on freenode > | 16:09 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | ? | 16:09 |
| brainwash | https://wiki.mozilla.org/IRC | 16:09 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | thanks | 16:10 |
| brainwash | just checked, #firefox does exist on this server | 16:10 |
| brainwash | so try to ask there first | 16:10 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | lol some guy who use windows telling me to install from apt | 16:29 |
| brainwash | Donnie_Darko21: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2176235 | 16:37 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | :) | 16:39 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | i will paste to firefox bc they making me to go to ubuntu | 16:39 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | take care ppl adobe its not important to linux or firefox | 16:57 |

| nlsthzn | ? | 17:51 |
| nlsthzn | perhaps change sources to a few releases earlier | 17:51 |
| nlsthzn | or use the one packaged for 13.10 | 17:51 |
| nlsthzn | from the main repo? | 17:51 |
| brauleinchen | after the upgrade, I just changed the nickname of the 13.04 release for saucy | 17:51 |
| nlsthzn | perhaps it isn't updated yet | 17:52 |
| nlsthzn | that is how it seems | 17:52 |
