enrico_Hi guys, my netbook keeps shutting down (-->lost connection, etc) when I close the screen even though I set my Energy settings to "Do nothing" when it happens01:42
bekksIt may be a BIOS setting, too.01:42
enrico_Before xubuntu it didn't happen (win7)01:43
enrico_still a possibility?01:44
bekksJust take a look at your BIOS.01:44
enrico_Nothing in the bios01:56
enrico_I also tried editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf and setting to ignore01:57

alexandros_cgood I have a question, what is the difference between a xubuntu session and a xfce session?02:12
David-Aalexandros_c: I dont know the official answer, but what I have noticed, besides different default themes, is that the program menu is structured differently.02:17
alexandros_cThanks David-A for your response, I noticed the theme but as I am using whisker menu there is no difference in menu structure02:19

hurdorbsdhi guys08:14
hurdorbsdI am going to install 13.10 now ..08:14
hurdorbsdI am switching from Debian 7.2 Gnome08:14
bazhangany support questions?08:15
hurdorbsdCan I switch from Kernel 3.11 to 3.12 ??08:17
bazhang!info linux saucy08:17
ubottulinux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component main, is optional. Version 3.11.0.13.14 (saucy), package size 1 kB, installed size 33 kB08:17
bazhangwhy would you need to?08:17
hurdorbsd??08:18
bazhang<hurdorbsd> Can I switch from Kernel 3.11 to 3.12 ??   <bazhang> why would you need to?08:19
hurdorbsdjust to try the latest stable08:20
bazhangthats not stable08:20
hurdorbsdand learn how to install linux kernel08:20
hurdorbsdkernel.org says 3.12.1 is stable08:20
bazhangthat does not mean its stable within ubuntu, with all the patches08:21
hurdorbsdoh08:21
hurdorbsdI see .. so 14.04 is going to be stable with latest kernel in ubuntu08:22
hurdorbsdSo we can't just install a kernel in any linux .. we need to go with the distributor of the linux08:22
bazhangwell, sure; but that's not until April 2014 release08:22
bazhangyou can do whatever you want; you said you wanted stable08:23
bazhangif you want the very newest of every package, thats not going to be a stable system08:24
hurdorbsdYou mistook me ... I thought when I say stable I mean Stable Kernel (Generally) I didn't know .. it has to be stable within the distro08:24
hurdorbsdI was just asking ... ok I get it now08:24
bazhangno, I got it the first time08:24
hurdorbsdok08:24
hurdorbsdSo latest stable kernel isn't stable for Ubuntu yet08:25
bazhangkernel.org stable != withing ubuntu stable08:25
bazhangit's not stable anywhere08:25
hurdorbsdArch is using08:26
bazhangarch is rolling release, so it's an *option*08:26
hurdorbsdohk08:26
hurdorbsdI see08:26
bazhangbut not all arch users do that08:26
hurdorbsdbut I love xfce with Debian or Debian based Ubuntu08:26
hurdorbsdokay08:27
bazhangdebian/debian based are a ton more stable08:27
hurdorbsdbecause it uses 3.2.5-1 as their kernel08:27
hurdorbsdwhich has to be stable after all these months08:28

XubuntinThanks. Is there any reason going for 13.10 instead of LTS? Subjective opinions speaking.09:29
elfyXubuntin: time and people resources09:29
XubuntinAha09:30
MatthewHHello, I am setting up an older machine with linux and I am wondering what is the best choice as a lightweight OS. I am deciding which is more lightweight Xubantu or Archlinux thanks09:30
XubuntinLubuntu :P09:31
elfyXubuntin: subjectively I'd wait - but then again I might have tried getting the gtk3 indicators into 13.10 as well if I'd been just using it, as it is I DID install gtk3 indicators into 13.10 - but that was for testing, I have them also in 14.04 now too09:31
MatthewHwhat desktop environment does Lubuntu use?09:31
elfyXubuntin: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Saucy/Gtk3Indicators welcome to try but support if it goes wrong will be patchy09:32
XubuntinLXDE09:32
XubuntinOkay, thanks. Good input.09:32
XubuntinLubuntu is very lightweight, and for being that lightweight it really looks good imo.09:33
MatthewHIs Arch more resource heavy?09:33
elfyMatthewH: without knowing what this older machine has in the way of hardware/specs it's hard to tell - is it 2 years old, 20 years old - does it have RAM measure in Kb/Mb/Gb09:33
elfydoes it have a starting handle?09:33
elfyrun on steam?09:34
elfy:)09:34
MatthewHceleron 1.3ghz 512mb ram, 8 years old09:34
xubuntu193Thanks for the mei_me info. Als found dat on HP models: Instead of pressing F10 for entering the BIOS setup, you can press Ctrl+P for entering the Management Extension BIOS. Password would be admin. One can disable logging there, wil try that first.....09:34
elfyMatthewH: might be better of with lubuntu - or you could go with a minimal iso and build it up from there with what you need09:35
XubuntinDo you know how to install Arch Linux Matthew?09:36
MatthewHYes I do09:36
XubuntinAh, nice09:36
MatthewHI do like to get dirty in the terminal, is that weird haha?09:36
XubuntinPeppermint OS is also lightweight, and LXDE09:36
XubuntinHaha no09:36
XubuntinIt is built on Lubuntu09:37
SuperEngineerMatthewH:  fwiw... I run Xubuntu on an old Acer Aspire netbook [similar spec].. no probs.  Added gnome-do and I love it.09:37
XubuntinOr derived I guess09:37
XubuntinHow do you use Gnome Do to get it working effectively? Give it a shortcut or just leave it in the taskbar?09:38
MatthewHWhich version of lubuntu would benefit me better? newest release 13.1009:38
MatthewHYes I do know how to use Gnome09:38
XubuntinNewest release requires 128MB RAm09:38
XubuntinSo it is more lightweight than last one, I think09:38
XubuntinBut that is a minimum with bad performance I guess09:39
MatthewHI think ill go with lubuntu then :)09:39
SuperEngineerXubuntin: I use super+space shortcut09:39
MatthewHi dont expect decent performance from my doorstopper of a laptop ha09:39
XubuntinIs that by default SuperEngineer?09:39
SuperEngineeryes09:39
XubuntinOh, thanks man09:39
elfyXubuntin: I should point out I have ulterior motives for telling people about things we might want testing though09:42
MatthewHI tried to install mint 13 as the machine doesnt have pae. The thing choked trying to open the Install Linux Mint button09:42
MatthewHXubuntin: should I get minimal install lubuntu or do you think regular is ok?09:45
Xubuntin   If you have space for a regular, I think that would be okay. And just uninstall what you dont need. Then you have most stuff ready to go.09:46
MatthewHThanks man, big help. Really appriciate it :)09:47
XubuntinYou are welcome. Hope you like the distro. You might not find LXDE that appealing, dont know :P09:47
MatthewHI dont, but it doesnt matter too much. Its only something for the little one to bash the keyboard with09:48
XubuntinI see. You also have Peppermint OS, that is a bit more ruff in the looks. Darker look. And you can tweak it a bit and make it look pretty nice.09:49
XubuntinHow can I restart the taskbar in terminal on Xubuntu? Like force quitting explorer.exe in Windows I mean, and starting it up again.09:55

hello4? so what should i do?12:45
cfhowlettchoose ext4?12:46
hello4well, yes12:46
hello4anotherone needed?12:46
hello4there is btrfs, exfat, ext2-4,fat16,fat32, hfs, hfs+, jfs, linux-swap,ntfs, reiser4, reiserfs, ufs,xfs12:50
hello4so?13:01
hello4which one should i choose?13:01
nikolamhello4, I would vote for btrfs (since you can make snapshots and therefore rollback to previous system state if needed after updates. And also make snapshots of your data. Ot use ZFS, too for external storage on non-system disks13:01
nikolamhfs/+ is only there for mac comaptibility, ext2,3,4 are evolutions (upgradeable in-place to Btrfs), jfs is if you use many small files, xfs is a robust old style file system for large storage, reiser4 also (as zfs) does not have nor require chkdsk on boot...13:04
nikolamufs is for BSD/unix compatibility.13:04
nikolamSo you are safe with choosing ext4, (upgreadable to Btrfs), Btrfs is a modern answer to system disk, reiser4 is a nice ext alternative if there is no Btrfs and ZFS is rock-solid FS for your data and cross platform dependable storage.13:06
nikolamI think that's all hello413:06
hello4thx13:11
hello4so how do i check if the hard disc is ok? i try it with the same programm GParted "Check and Repair" but it takes so short time that i dont think it'll work13:12
nikolamaha, before partitioning, you can use live DVD to boot and use badblocks command to check disk surface13:14
nikolamit is also goof to mention that Btrfs have included software RAID, so yiu can use multiple disks to store your system and data on more then one disk (also for ZFS)13:15
nikolamif one wants the same with ext4 and other, he should aether use hardware raid, or use mdadmin (md) software raid and make FS on top of it.13:16
nikolamOne can start with one disk and Btrfs and add second disk(s) later for safer environment with data automatically migrating and have block-level checksums. Zfs also always serve righ data and repair it during work, due to checksum checking.13:17
hello4well its still checking ;)13:21
hello4now it stopped but i didnt get any message if it was successfull or not13:25
hello4its choosing automaticly ext4 while installing13:29

Dan_DAh, ok21:36
Dan_DThanks21:36
Poisoned_DragonAlthough, you do have to use chmod -x if you execute the jar in your file manager, and it complains that it can't execute it. But, jars would also have to be associated with the installed java for that to be a feature.21:39
