hurdorbsdI installed Xubuntu with Encrypted Disk and it ask me to choose a passphrase .. I have to enter it everytime I login05:28
hurdorbsdBut it also asked me to save a auto generated passphrase .. and print and save it ..05:29
hurdorbsdWhat is that for?05:29
Rochvellonhurdorbsd> it ist for accessing the harddisk with your data in case your system is corrupted und you cannot start it any more. then you can take a live system and backup your data e.g.05:34
hurdorbsdOk I get it .. so Do I have to print and save it??05:35
hurdorbsdor update it same online safely?05:35
hurdorbsdPrint and save is way better right?05:35
Rochvelloni think so05:35
hurdorbsdOk05:35
hurdorbsdHow can I test my FGLRX graphics ... see I am using Opensource graphics right now .. I can play 720p without any flaw .. but when I play 1080p it is problematic .. I installed fglrx-updates driver from hardware driver option but again same problem .. but it was not the case in Windows05:37
hurdorbsdWhen I use an external HDD I get Error when getting information for file '/media/bud/New Volume/xubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64.iso': Input/output error.05:41
Rochvellonhurdorbsd> it could be a failure of the harddisk. what's about the smart status?05:49

NuSueywell, anyone with a problem with skype (latest) on xbuntu (13.10) - I don't get any output from the caller, I hear the "login" sound of skype, but not the caller.. tried to change sound output in the pulseaudio-prefs, nothing.. restarted skype, nothing, killed pulsaudio and restarted it.. nothing :o07:55
NuSueyI guess it's just some general skype issue.. should probably use Hangouts instead08:00
NuSueyeverybody sleeping .. I guess08:09

sventonhi all.  I try to follow the instructions here: http://javahacker.com/how-to-setup-ubuntu-under-macos-x-on-a-macbook-with-swedish-keyboard-svenskt-tangentbord-using-virtualbox/  but the guide is writen for gnome and i am not able to find this menu in xf4. Do I need to install gnome to change this settings ?20:42
sventonIn gnome you can select "System->Preferences->Keyboard" and then "key bord model"20:43
Sh1G3rUsventon, settings -> keyboard -> layout20:45
sventonSh1G3rU: oh, I run lubuntu, maybe the xfce have a diffrent layout compared with xbuntu ?  I have no settings -> keyboard -> layout option20:48
pleia2sventon: lubuntu is lxde, not xfce, you probably want to ask in #lubuntu20:50
sventonpleia2: sorry, did not know about the #lubuntu room , thanks20:52
