| dr_chaos | Hello there. I just setted up xubuntu 13.10 and it didnot show me the drive partition dialog, so I have just one logcal HDD. I need two. I downloaded gparted but It is not available to do anithing | 07:46 |
| elfy | to work with partitions they need to be unmounted - boot the usb or whatever you used to install with and use that | 07:46 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, oh thanx! i forgot I have the livecd | 07:47 |
| elfy | gparted is in settings manager there - you'll likely have to swapoff as well - right click on swap partition - swapoff | 07:47 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, thank you, I've got it | 07:48 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, whatis lvm? | 07:49 |
| elfy | logical volume management - and that's as much as I've bothered to know about it I'm afraid :) | 07:50 |
| elfy | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm | 07:50 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, I checked box "lvm" before installation. I hoped it will allow me to part drives | 07:51 |
| elfy | mmm - I thought so too | 07:51 |
| elfy | might be better to hang in the channel and see if someone else see's | 07:51 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, okay | 07:51 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, i ll better ereboot and try gparted) | 07:52 |
| elfy | dr_chaos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuDesktopLVM as well | 07:52 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, oh by the way, how to set default browser here? | 07:53 |
| elfy | exo-preferred-applications | 07:53 |
| elfy | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1537569 | 07:53 |
| elfy | all a bit confusing - "resizing the root (/) volume is tricky since you need to unmount the volume to do file system checks, and that is impossible if you are using it" | 07:54 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, me too | 07:54 |
| elfy | I'll shut up now - likely to just confuse the issue :) | 07:55 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, maybe better reinstall without lvm? | 07:55 |
| elfy | well - if I had time I might play with it - but ... | 07:55 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, I mean myself | 07:56 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, I just installed xbutu | 07:56 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, maybe I ll better reinstall it? | 07:56 |
| elfy | I know what you meant :) | 07:57 |
| well_laid_lawn | ↓ | 07:57 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, sry I am not english as well | 07:57 |
| elfy | if you've just installed and want to reinstall - now's the time to do it | 07:57 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, fck yeah!) | 07:57 |
| elfy | I used to set up partitions prior to running install - and then use the somethign else option to install where I want to | 07:58 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, as I understand I have to create swap part first? | 07:59 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, i installed 12.04 yesterday and have done smth wrong wit partitions and didnot see any of it after installation | 08:00 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, how to do it the most right way? | 08:01 |
| elfy | dr_chaos: well - I usually create a primary then an extended - then create logicals in the extended | 08:01 |
| elfy | leaving the primary for 'just in case' | 08:01 |
| elfy | but gpt has changed all that | 08:01 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, what about swap? | 08:02 |
| elfy | in a logical | 08:02 |
| elfy | but not sure why you'd want/need to create it first | 08:02 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, I have (dont laugh) 80 Gb hdd. how many gb give to primary? | 08:03 |
| elfy | some will tell you to have a seperate /home - I don't do that - but symlink to other partitions | 08:03 |
| elfy | right - if all you're doing is playing with xubuntu on it and have no need for anything else then just use the 'Use whole drive' option and it will create a suitable swap and the rest will be available for you | 08:04 |
| elfy | but I've got to go - work soon - good luck | 08:05 |
| dr_chaos | elfy, thank you, good luck | 08:05 |

| alainus | what can I expect by installing 14.04 daily build? | 18:29 |
| alainus | will it work? | 18:29 |
| audrey | alainus: that's a good question | 18:31 |
| audrey | install it and find out, it's called a daily for a reason | 18:31 |
| alainus | I want to install xubuntu on a vaio pro 11, but I'm overwhelmed by the amount of problems people is having with linux on this pc | 18:37 |
| alainus | I don't know if I should wait or go ahead. | 18:37 |
| Unit193 | alainus: Not recommended on a production computer, vbox or testing computer. | 18:37 |
| alainus | apparently, linux 3.12 has patches for this hardware | 18:38 |
| audrey | alainus: use a stable build | 18:38 |

| audrey | xubuntu361: no | 18:53 |
| xubuntu361 | Hello. I need help first in backing up all my linux files, I think before I back up all my windows files on the other side of a 40/60 partition on my laptop. The windows vista is defunct and has a jammed up antivirus program that failed to update and also cannot be removed. I want to save all my files efficiently from both O.S.'s and then de-partition my hard drive to reinstall an updated version of Linux. I am running an out | 18:59 |
| xubuntu361 | My current version of xubuntu is faulty and can no longer update. I need some advice. I think I could benefit from some backup software that can save my files to a flash drive. | 19:02 |

| drc | oh...the instructions say "gksudo", doesn't work (iirc), just use sudo. | 20:01 |
| audrey | masterofpants: | 20:01 |
| audrey | have you tried alsamixer or pavucontrol | 20:02 |
| masterofpants | Poisoned_Dragon, Gracias | 20:04 |
| masterofpants | drc, Thanks | 20:04 |
| masterofpants | audrey, Thank YOU | 20:04 |

| masterofpants | drc, I did what the link said | 20:05 |
| drc | and ? | 20:05 |
| audrey | np masterofpants :3 | 20:05 |
| audrey | 9/10 times when sound fucks up i check pavucontrol and the wrong card is selected | 20:05 |

| newb | oh shit i'm installing for the first time oh shit oh shit wish me luck | 20:10 |
| newb | also how come the installer has a skip button | 20:11 |
| newb | how does that even work | 20:11 |
| audrey | newb: the installer is easy | 20:12 |
| Unit193 | newb: TBH I don't know, could be that it comes and asks the question later or lets you set it up after. | 20:13 |
| newb | yeah, i know | 20:13 |
| newb | i hope i didn't screw my partitions up | 20:13 |
| audrey | newb: did you partition automatic or manually | 20:13 |
| newb | manually | 20:14 |
| newb | ok, time to reboot | 20:30 |
| newb | i'll be back, hopefully | 20:31 |

| n3glv | hi guys, can someone tell me where the list that the software updater reads is? can I hand remove an app that can't be updated?? | 21:12 |
| n3glv | (flashplugin-installer) | 21:12 |
| cowbacon | n3glv: apt-get remove flashplugin-installer | 21:18 |
| n3glv | and will that remove my flash plugin cowbacon? | 21:18 |
| n3glv | I need function, don't need PESTERED DAILY | 21:19 |
| cowbacon | i dont know | 21:19 |
| n3glv | I think it will go away.... | 21:19 |
| n3glv | not a fix | 21:19 |
| cowbacon | if its just installer the plugin shouldnt be removed | 21:19 |
| cowbacon | and even if it gets removed just reinstall it | 21:19 |
| n3glv | and renew the pestering.. | 21:23 |
| n3glv | trying that now | 21:25 |
| cowbacon | you should also clear your apt logs and stuff | 21:26 |
| Unit193 | n3glv: Why can't it be updated? If you remove the package, the plugin is gone, yes. | 21:27 |
| n3glv | how is thad done? | 21:27 |
| n3glv | that done (apt logs) | 21:27 |
| cowbacon | the easiest is do just do rm -rf /var/log but then you'll lose all your logs. if you never read or care about logs you wont notice the loss | 21:32 |
| cowbacon | or move them to ~ | 21:32 |
| Unit193 | cowbacon: Um, why? | 21:32 |

| Rochvellon | hi, is it normal that thunar only will show smb resources if the package "samba" is installed? | 22:06 |
| bosnjak | Rochvellon: doesn't that seam reasonable? | 22:07 |
| Rochvellon | what's about smbclient? wouldn't that just enough? | 22:08 |
| Unit193 | I'd think gvfs-backends would be enough (that and fuse, but pretty sure you can't install it without fuse) | 22:09 |
| Rochvellon | well, gvfs-backends is installed but yesterday i was surprised that i couldn't see the smb resources from the VM-windows and after installing the paket samba i could browse these resources | 22:14 |
| Rochvellon | well, I'm using thunar 1.6.2 (13.04) | 22:15 |
| bosnjak | Rochvellon: could be that you were just missing a package that was installed when you installed samba. Like samba-common which is a smbclient dependency | 22:18 |
| bosnjak | just fishing here tbh | 22:18 |
| Rochvellon | bosnjak> only tdb-tools was installed with samba | 22:19 |
| bosnjak | Rochvellon: smbclient depends on libtdb1, which is provided by samba-common-bin. And that is provided by samba. | 22:24 |
| bosnjak | Rochvellon: i am not 100%, i just analysed dependencies on the fly | 22:24 |
| Rochvellon | bosnjak> ah, ok, thx :) | 22:30 |
| bosnjak | Rochvellon: the question remains why it was removed in the first place, but i would leave that one unanswered :D | 22:35 |
