| kingbeowolf | anyone using xorg edgers with a 7xxx series AMD card can speak to the quality of the experience? | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| kingbeowolf | namely https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa | 00:10 |
| holstein | kingbeowolf: i dont, but its pretty easy to try the ppa vs the supported version.. ppa's are not officially supported | 00:12 |
| kingbeowolf | holstein: what do you mean by "its pretty easy" | 00:29 |
| holstein | kingbeowolf: to add a ppa, and test the drivers you are asking about | 00:30 |
| kingbeowolf | holstein: it could screw things up though no? | 00:32 |
| holstein | kingbeowolf: what do i do? i have an install, that i literally try all the drivers on. i *always* have *all* my data backed up.. i expect that something might get screwed up using unsupported software on proprietary hardware | 00:33 |
| holstein | kingbeowolf: i test all the drivers, and config until im comfortable, then i usually do a fresh install | 00:33 |
| kingbeowolf | i have backups but i think it would take forever to reinstall and I only save my home directory not all my install software and stuff | 00:35 |
| kingbeowolf | what do you use ? | 00:35 |
| holstein | kingbeowolf: generally, i use what works | 00:36 |
| holstein | kingbeowolf: whats the issue? are you thinking of trying the PPA due to some performance issue? | 00:36 |
| kingbeowolf | holstein: yeah i think the newer AMD drivers will help solve some issues and hopefully give some extra support towards crossfire on the 7950 | 00:39 |
| holstein | kingbeowolf: you should be able to read if that is true or not | 00:39 |
| holstein | kingbeowolf: you can add the ppa, and use ppa-purge to purge the drivers | 00:39 |
| holstein | !info ppa-purge | 00:40 |
| ubottu | ppa-purge (source: ppa-purge): disables a PPA and reverts to official packages. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.8+bzr57 (saucy), package size 5 kB, installed size 44 kB | 00:40 |
| kingbeowolf | ill give it a shot thanks | 00:51 |
| autif | It seems like power manager does not respect settings in 13.10. For example, I chose "ask" for power button and "Nothing" for laptop lid is closed for both AC and Battery, but neither of these are respected. The computer sleeps when I put the lid down and powers off when I hit the power button. Has anyone heard of this? | 00:57 |
| holstein | autif: sometimes, its as simple as setting those in the place for the power adapter to be plugged, and its on batter, or vice versa | 01:12 |
| autif | holstein: yup - i have the same setting for both AC and battery - "Nothing" when lid is closed. Still no joy! | 01:13 |

| KombuchaKip | holstein: Thanks for pointing that out. Enjoy the site. | 01:36 |

| uflaig | good day! Is there a possibility to put a wine application into the context menu? | 03:09 |
| holstein | uflaig: just add the application in general, with the command to start it | 03:13 |

| KanoWins | hey guys | 05:13 |
| KanoWins | does anyone know anything about video flash problems with the browser? | 05:13 |
| Unit193 | Got details? | 05:16 |
| KanoWins | well basically, youtube, for instance, starts a video and stops after a couple of seconds | 05:16 |
| KanoWins | this is with adobe flash player | 05:16 |
| KanoWins | this is in chromium and firefox | 05:18 |
| KanoWins | doesn't really have quite that problem with other distros, for example my backbox seems to play things fine | 05:19 |
| KanoWins | okay it starts with no sound, hiccups for a moment and then the generic error comes up | 05:22 |
| Unit193 | Have you tried pepperflash? And isn't Backbox based on Xubuntu anyway? | 05:25 |
| KanoWins | i was going to ask u what alternative there would be, i'll try pepperflash | 05:25 |
| KanoWins | i don't know about backbox being xubuntu based, only that they both use xfce | 05:25 |
| KanoWins | if i open the flash console in the video window, it kinda freezes | 05:26 |
| KanoWins | i wonder if it's a user issue, adobe flash probably only works with root login only | 05:27 |
| KanoWins | can't find pepperflash - is there a repository that it'll show up in? | 05:29 |
| Unit193 | "adobe flash probably only works with root login only" Umm, no, just, no. | 05:43 |

| dreamer | hi all. anybode experience with x2go? I'm trying to use it with our xubuntu image at work, but all I can get is a message with 'unable to load failsafe session' and some yadayada. | 13:25 |
| dreamer | I've tried to start the session with this: https://gist.github.com/redecs/5136841 < | 13:25 |
| dreamer | < but same result | 13:25 |
| dreamer | (aarg, typo-tuesday -_-) | 13:25 |
| cfhowlett | dreamer, no idea what that is, but there are more people in #ubuntu. Might want to ask there. | 13:28 |
| dreamer | it's a bug with xubuntu, not ubuntu | 13:30 |
| dreamer | x2go is an implentation of nx | 13:30 |
| cfhowlett | dreamer, OK. over my head, though. sorry. perhaps contacting the xubunt developers | 13:31 |
| dreamer | and here I thought that this was the xubuntu support channel .. | 13:32 |
| cfhowlett | tis. but we're volunteers and users like you for the most part. developers don't hang out here much | 13:32 |
| dreamer | I'll go to #xubuntu-devel then | 13:33 |
| cfhowlett | :) | 13:33 |
| cfhowlett | good luck | 13:33 |
| knome | dreamer, please don't. | 13:33 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | have you read the x2go docs? | 13:33 |
| dreamer | yes | 13:33 |
| knome | dreamer, it looks like you need to specifically tell x2go to start xfce | 13:33 |
| dreamer | I have | 13:33 |
| dreamer | and also tried xubuntu/xfce specific startup scripts | 13:34 |
| knome | have you asked their creators why they don't work? | 13:34 |
| dreamer | it works fine with other desktops. only xfce/xubuntu fails | 13:34 |
| dreamer | yes, they say it should work with xfce. the latest x2goclient has xfce as an option as well | 13:35 |
| dreamer | thus it seems xubuntu specific why it doesn't work | 13:35 |
| knome | yes... they say it "should work" | 13:35 |
| dreamer | but mostly I wanted to know if anyone here has experience | 13:35 |
| knome | have you tested it with other xfce-based distros? | 13:35 |
| xubuntu449 | anyone here? | 14:50 |

| niggardly | i need help, how do I format a new HDD? | 19:57 |
| niggardly | ext4 | 19:57 |
| niggardly | gparted iirc | 19:58 |
| elfy | niggardly: I tend to do it with gparted | 19:59 |
| elfy | you can do it from command line if you want to | 20:00 |
| niggardly | elfy, i just created a msdos partition table, is this the way to go? | 20:00 |
| niggardly | now to create an ext4 partition for the whole table? | 20:00 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | the whole drive | 20:00 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | if that is your aim | 20:00 |
| elfy | if oyu only want one partition | 20:00 |
| niggardly | yes, whole drive, but do I have to have a partition? a msdos partition? | 20:01 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | no | 20:01 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | partitions are just that. the table is what stores the partitions. | 20:02 |
| niggardly | whats the difference between primary partition and extended partition? | 20:02 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | for example, in a win8 laptop, the table is not msdos/mbr. it's GPT. | 20:02 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Exactly what the name implies. You can only have about 3 primary partitions on a drive. If you want to cut up the drive more, you make an extended partition to store logical partitions. | 20:04 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | iirc | 20:04 |
| elfy | 4 primaries - extended at least counts as a primary, and you can have 1 of those | 20:04 |
| elfy | there is a limit to how many logicals you can have in an extended iirc - but can't remember how many | 20:05 |
| maico | depends on disc size | 20:06 |
| maico | according to the VDm (virtual disc manager) you can put 1 primary and 4 logicals on a 750 gig disc | 20:07 |
| elfy | I've had way more than that on smaller drives | 20:08 |
| niggardly | I cannot copy anything onto the new HDD; its all owned by root | 20:08 |
| niggardly | tips? | 20:09 |
| niggardly | i forgot how to change permissions | 20:09 |
| niggardly | nautilus comes to mind... | 20:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | should only have easy access to your home directory. | 20:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I just use sudo to launch apps I need to edit files outside of /home | 20:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | But, it depends on your needs | 20:11 |
| fartboner | niggardly: chmod | 20:15 |
| elfy | I - create mount point/ mount partition/ chown it | 20:19 |
| niggardly | id really appreciate instrucxtions on the noob level | 20:20 |
| niggardly | chmod and then what? | 20:21 |
