| Unit193 | Well, more correctly flash doesn't support the browsers, though you can either extract pepperflash from chrome and use it in chromium, or use chrome. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | Can't use a nicer browser like xombrero or firefox. ;) | 00:00 |
| Unit193 | I'd recommend a better service if you can, but guessing you'll have to use one of the solutions already stated. | 00:01 |
| xubunet | OK, I don;t know what that last bit means. Is it something I could probably look up online and be able to do while following instructions? Oh like I said above I *am* using firefox. I just tried chrome when firefox failed at SOundcloud. | 00:02 |
| xubunet | I'll try xombrero, thanks! | 00:02 |
| xubunet | Cheers unit - fingers crossed! Bye now. | 00:02 |
| Unit193 | xubunet: Xombrero won't work. | 00:03 |
| xubunet | hmmm ok :( | 00:03 |
| Unit193 | http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/how-to-make-chromium-use-flash-player.html not quite how I would do it, but works. | 00:04 |
| pretzell | hi people, i have a question regarding installing xubuntu, when i try to do so i always get an error with the GRUB booter, it says it cant install package grub-efi-amd64-signed | 00:55 |
| pretzell | anyone knows how i can fix this? | 00:56 |
| holstein | !uefi | 00:57 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 00:57 |
| holstein | that might help.. | 00:57 |
| pretzell | thanks a lot | 00:57 |
| xubuntu932 | Remember windows logo key on the keyboard? How can I program it in Xubuntu to un-hide the Panel-1 (the bottom panel that autohides) ? Don't reply all at once please (LOL). | 01:07 |
| holstein | xubuntu932: not sure. but you can sometimes see that called the "super key" | 01:07 |
| holstein | xubuntu932: this should get you heading in the right way http://askubuntu.com/questions/244466/can-i-unhide-the-panel-in-xfce-4-10-using-a-key-press-rather-than-using-mouse-cu | 01:08 |
| xubuntu932 | Yea . . called <super> key . . . Hmmmm | 01:08 |
| xubuntu932 | OK Thanks again . . .Bye! | 01:08 |
| xubuntu661 | Hey . . . Its me again on the unhide Panel-1 using <super> key. I was so excited, I forgot to click you link into another tab in this browser Im using. Display again please ? ? ? | 01:12 |
| holstein | xubuntu661: you mean this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/244466/can-i-unhide-the-panel-in-xfce-4-10-using-a-key-press-rather-than-using-mouse-cu | 01:12 |
| xubuntu661 | Yes Thanks ... Think I'll keep this comm open for a few more minutes, should I have further questions. Are you the Lenux support paid to help world-wide? Or a contributor/programmer? Just want to know how long you will be logged in here . .. | 01:14 |
| holstein | xubuntu661: we are just volunteers.. you can ask anytime | 01:15 |
| well_laid_lawn | most linux irc channels just have end users helping out | 01:15 |
| xubuntu661 | Got ya. You helped me before. I remember the name <holstein>. Someday, I want to contribute in a major way. I'll go read your link for a while. | 01:16 |
| xubuntu661 | YES on the | 02:11 |
| xubuntu661 | Super key | 02:11 |
| xubuntu661 | Usd the toggle option as follows . . ..xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-1/autohide -T | 02:11 |
| xubuntu661 | And super-L is just one press, so I only have use one finger. I do wish it would behave like window logo key did, and not stay unhidden. Thanks , @holstein | 02:13 |
| holstein | xubuntu661: it *is* the window logo key.. you want it to behave like some other operating system? in what way? | 02:14 |

| zierka | hi! I used this tutorial (https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html) to enable hibernation on my xubuntu, but even after restart, the hibernate menu option is still greyed out. Hibernation works fine with pm-hibernate. Can you help me enabling it? | 12:27 |
| ObrienDave | zierka, new instructions for 13.10, works good | 12:28 |
| ObrienDave | sec | 12:28 |
| ObrienDave | i used this: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/10/enable-hibernation-ubuntu-13-10/ | 12:29 |
| zierka | thanks! Let's see if it works with login1 | 12:34 |
| ObrienDave | ok | 12:34 |
| zierka_ | thanks! Hibernation is now clickable. | 12:38 |
| ObrienDave | cool, you're welcome | 12:40 |
| zierka_ | It's funny that the official documentation regarding the enable hibernation is wrong, and there is a bugreport about this dated 2013-09-29 with the solution, and the documentation is not updated 2 months after that. | 12:54 |
| ObrienDave | hibernate is, by default, not enabled. too many problems | 12:55 |
| Tuls | hi everyone | 13:02 |
| ObrienDave | greetings and welcome | 13:03 |
| Tuls | thx | 13:03 |
| barlefante | hello | 13:39 |
| barlefante | I have a little problem with my resolution | 13:39 |
| barlefante | I can only set resolution in root | 13:40 |
| barlefante | anyone know how to correct this? | 13:40 |
| GridCube | barlefante, in a terminal execute "xrandr" and see the results | 13:40 |
| GridCube | pastebin them here if you want | 13:40 |
| barlefante | I see all 3 resolution modes | 13:42 |
| barlefante | but only because I booted in recovery mode, opened a root terminal, exited and resumed boot | 13:42 |
| barlefante | if I boot normally, resolution stays at 640x480 without further options | 13:43 |
| barlefante | GridCube in other words I don't think it's a driver problem, more to do with settings and permission | 13:44 |
| barlefante | I have only one account | 13:44 |
| barlefante | Intel Extreme Graphics | 13:47 |
| barlefante | can you help or should I come back later? | 13:49 |
| cfhowlett | barlefante, ask in #ubuntu ... more eyes | 13:49 |
| barlefante | ok thanks | 13:49 |
| GridCube | barlefante, so what the terminal says when you do xrandr -s #x# | 13:49 |
| GridCube | ? | 13:50 |
| barlefante | umm, it just asks for more options | 13:51 |
| barlefante | the problem is that it won't save the current resolution | 13:51 |
| barlefante | at the moment I have all options open | 13:51 |
| barlefante | I just need to save this configuration to work correctly next time I boot normally | 13:52 |
| GridCube | barlefante, change #x# for your desired resolution | 13:52 |
| barlefante | ahh | 13:52 |
| barlefante | no output produced... | 13:53 |
| GridCube | hmmm | 13:53 |
| GridCube | barlefante, do as cfhowlett suggested you and ask in #ubuntu maybe more knowledge people can help you there | 13:54 |
| barlefante | I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but nothing happened | 13:54 |
| barlefante | thanks m8 I'll do that | 13:55 |
| barlefante | it's like I'm invisible in ubuntu channel | 14:12 |
| barlefante | no-one answers me | 14:12 |
| GridCube | :/ | 14:12 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | maybe you're wearing stealth camouflage. | 14:13 |
| GridCube | barlefante, do you have arandr installed? | 14:13 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I do it all the time. | 14:13 |
| barlefante | it would appear not | 14:14 |
| GridCube | barlefante, arandr is a gui for xrandr | 14:14 |
| barlefante | installing now | 14:14 |
| GridCube | it lets you do the same as xrandr but graphically | 14:14 |
| GridCube | if you find a setting you like using arandr you can save it as an script | 14:15 |
| GridCube | and then add that scritp to your autolaunch of applications | 14:15 |
| GridCube | so your settings get forced everytime you boot | 14:15 |
| barlefante | ok | 14:15 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | using multi-monitor, barlefante? | 14:16 |
| barlefante | no | 14:17 |
| barlefante | only laptop LCD | 14:17 |
| barlefante | I never heard of the make: EiSYSTEM | 14:18 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | ah, so it's just not setting the preffered resolution? | 14:18 |
| barlefante | ok I saved the script in documents | 14:18 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | preferred* | 14:18 |
| barlefante | it only sets the max.res if I boot in Recovery, open shell in root, exit, then resume booting | 14:18 |
| barlefante | otherwise gets stuck on 640x480 | 14:19 |
| barlefante | and can't change it | 14:19 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | :( | 14:20 |
| ObrienDave | have you tried system settings/display? | 14:20 |
| barlefante | yes | 14:21 |
| barlefante | if I try to set lower res. now, it just goes black | 14:21 |
| barlefante | however, hopefully with that script that GridCube told me about, it will work | 14:22 |
| GridCube | barlefante, did arandr let you change the res? | 14:22 |
| barlefante | it's weird that each resolution has a different refresh rate | 14:22 |
| GridCube | if you could change the resolution using arandr then the script should work | 14:23 |
| slickymaster | hi GridCube | 14:23 |
| GridCube | sup slickymaster :) | 14:23 |
| barlefante | GridCube I didn't dare try in case my screen goes blak | 14:23 |
| barlefante | at the moment it's fine | 14:23 |
| barlefante | I jusst need it to be that way when I next boot up | 14:24 |
| barlefante | so I saved the script and added it to startup items | 14:24 |
| barlefante | many thanks for that suggestion | 14:24 |
| GridCube | don't worry, i hope it works as you want :) | 14:24 |
| barlefante | new to me - I have installed Xubuntu on other laptops and not had this problem | 14:25 |
| barlefante | thanks, I'll try it now | 14:25 |
| barlefante | I'll let you know if it worked :) | 14:25 |
| barlefante | GridCube I'm back with bad news | 14:35 |
| GridCube | :( | 14:36 |
| barlefante | first boot ended up on blak screen | 14:36 |
| barlefante | had to restart | 14:36 |
| GridCube | :( | 14:36 |
| barlefante | am now on this horrible resolution inside a box on the screen | 14:36 |
| barlefante | arandr won't give me any other choices | 14:36 |
| GridCube | barlefante, remove the script and reboot? also check your /etc/X11 and make sure that you DONT have a xorg.conf. if you do have it rename it or remove it | 14:37 |
| barlefante | I even sudoed it | 14:37 |
| GridCube | barlefante, that wont change things | 14:37 |
| GridCube | sudo has little to do in this case | 14:38 |
| barlefante | there is no xorg.conf file | 14:39 |
| barlefante | so what next? rebooting will just give me the current layout, unless I use recovery mode | 14:41 |
| barlefante | and the only difference is that I start and close a root shell | 14:41 |
| barlefante | if I could automat that process, would be fine :) | 14:42 |
| GridCube | sorry, i don't know | 14:45 |
| GridCube | barlefante, maybe you do need a xorg.conf? | 14:45 |
| GridCube | if you kill all your xorg sessions you can run xorg -configure | 14:46 |
| barlefante | hmmm | 14:46 |
| barlefante | how do I do that? | 14:47 |
| barlefante | in root terminal before login? | 14:47 |
| GridCube | yes | 14:47 |
| GridCube | that should work | 14:47 |
| barlefante | cheers m8 | 14:47 |
| charles720 | hi | 15:20 |
| barlefante | GridCube I have finally sorted this | 15:20 |
| barlefante | :D | 15:21 |
| GridCube | :D | 15:21 |
| GridCube | how so? | 15:21 |
| charles720 | can someone tell me pls how i enter shell while booting so the whole process of getting stuck at boot is prevented after clean install ? | 15:22 |
| barlefante | umm, I had to boot in recovery mode | 15:22 |
| GridCube | charles720, you can press ctrl-alt-f1 to go to the first tty | 15:22 |
| barlefante | then sstarted root shell | 15:23 |
| barlefante | then sstarted root shell | 15:23 |
| barlefante | and instead of continuing boot sequence I forced a restart to save the settings | 15:24 |
| barlefante | I used shutdown -r 0 | 15:24 |
| charles720 | i tried the ctrl-alt-f1 thing but it goes to login and just continues to boot right through even though i got auto login disabled | 15:25 |
| charles720 | i had the recovery screen showin once.. but out of mere chance or accident | 15:25 |
| barlefante | that was the only command I needed :p | 15:26 |
| charles720 | recovery screen would be nice to enter | 15:26 |
| charles720 | cause i think the prob is x.org | 15:26 |
| barlefante | it's easy - just hold left Shift to access grub options | 15:26 |
| xubuntu775 | Getting a flashing curser after 13.10 install from USB. Any ideas? loads fine from USB | 15:26 |
| charles720 | while rebooting ? | 15:26 |
| barlefante | yes when booting up | 15:26 |
| barlefante | before login screen | 15:27 |
| charles720 | gonna try that after reinstall is finished | 15:27 |
| charles720 | thx in advance. later | 15:27 |
| barlefante | charles what is your problem? | 15:27 |
| xubuntu775 | installed 13,10. getting flashing curser upper left on bootup | 15:27 |
| barlefante | ahh | 15:28 |
| xubuntu775 | no problems booting from usb | 15:28 |
| barlefante | ok so recovery mode should give you some good options then | 15:28 |
| barlefante | you can go back to the previous kernel also | 15:29 |
| xubuntu775 | hmmm.. so try to reinstall from usb? | 15:29 |
| xubuntu775 | nope... reformated hard drive ;P | 15:29 |
| barlefante | no need - GRUB lists all versions ever installed | 15:29 |
| barlefante | a bit like Windows system restore | 15:30 |
| GridCube | if the kernels are still there | 15:30 |
| xubuntu775 | hmm ok. how do i get to them? | 15:30 |
| barlefante | yes if you didn't clean them out already | 15:30 |
| GridCube | press shift wile booting to access the grub menu | 15:30 |
| GridCube | choose previous linux versions | 15:30 |
| GridCube | and boot an older kernel, or boot in recovery mode | 15:30 |
| GridCube | depends on what you need | 15:31 |
| barlefante | hold left shift button | 15:31 |
| xubuntu775 | in process | 15:31 |
| xubuntu775 | ok... holding left shift held the bios bootup sceen, but as soon as I released, screen goes to curser | 15:32 |
| barlefante | avoid the bios screen | 15:36 |
| barlefante | hold it after the BIOS details go away | 15:36 |
| vespakoen | Hey guys, has anyone been able to install 13.10 in a Virtualbox VM ? I get an error saying that the installation has failed at the very end, and am unable to boot anything afterwards | 15:37 |
| barlefante | haven't tried - I normally stick to LTS versions | 15:38 |
| mucus | hi im install xubuntu as a secondary os with win7 already installed. | 15:39 |
| mucus | i am at the installation type screen. | 15:40 |
| xubuntu775 | Still not getting the grub menu, only flashing curser and balnk screen | 15:40 |
| mucus | how can i install this so that it doesnt format my data, and so i can manually add xubuntu to my win7 bootlist? | 15:40 |
| mucus | win7 is at /dev /sda2. i have a lot of empty space at /dev/sda3, i think i should install xubuntu here. and i think i should install the bootloader to /dev/sda3. am i correct? | 15:42 |
| GridCube | mucus, choose "install xubuntu along windows" it SHOULD not delete your data but a BACKCUP is HIGLY RECOMMENDED | 15:42 |
| GridCube | i havent had any problems with the installer in a long time tho, it just does things right, but you never know | 15:43 |
| GridCube | mucus, the bootloader will install in the first drive | 15:44 |
| GridCube | regardless of partition | 15:44 |
| mucus | https://www.dropbox.com/s/9snba1390uz037k/IMG_20131203_104332.jpg | 15:44 |
| mucus | is this coreect? | 15:44 |
| mucus | correct | 15:44 |
| mucus | or should i make a new partitio table for xubu? | 15:45 |
| mucus | oh huhm.... i dont think i want to do that | 15:46 |
| GridCube | mucus, if you do that it will format sd3, if you want you can create a new partition for it using sd3, size it down and use the free space for an sd4 | 15:47 |
| GridCube | or you can go back and let the installer do all of this automagically | 15:47 |
| mucus | should i boot into windows and shrink the olume? | 15:47 |
| GridCube | you can do it right there | 15:48 |
| GridCube | in the screen you are now | 15:48 |
| GridCube | remember that you need to create a small partition for swap too | 15:48 |
| GridCube | the usual recommendation is that the swap partition should be twice as much as your ram | 15:49 |
| krytarik | mucus: Yes, because your Windows 7 is there, in '/dev/sda3', rather than '/dev/sda2' as you think! | 15:49 |
| GridCube | ^ | 15:49 |
| GridCube | also this | 15:49 |
| GridCube | windows wont let you resize the partition it lives on | 15:50 |
| mucus | ok lets pretend im a real dummy. | 15:50 |
| mucus | what do i press on this screen? | 15:50 |
| GridCube | mucus, "change" | 15:50 |
| mucus | from sda3? | 15:50 |
| xubuntu775 | any ideas for a 13.10 install that is going straight to a flashing curser after the bios loadup? | 15:50 |
| GridCube | yes | 15:50 |
| mucus | edit partition.... shrink this i assume? | 15:51 |
| GridCube | take like 50 gb at the end of thepartition | 15:51 |
| krytarik | mucus: Well, at least use Windows tools, rather than just Gparted. | 15:51 |
| GridCube | yes | 15:51 |
| mucus | 50gb in mb? | 15:51 |
| GridCube | 5000 | 15:51 |
| mucus | mb != 1024? | 15:51 |
| GridCube | MiB = 1024 | 15:52 |
| GridCube | MB = 1000 | 15:52 |
| mucus | do i really need 50? | 15:52 |
| GridCube | no | 15:52 |
| mucus | cant i get away with 15? | 15:52 |
| GridCube | you can use 6gb | 15:52 |
| GridCube | yes | 15:52 |
| mucus | 6? | 15:52 |
| krytarik | *s/Gparted/the Xubuntu installer/ | 15:52 |
| mucus | and itll have enough space? | 15:52 |
| GridCube | 6 is the minimum im confortable | 15:53 |
| GridCube | i0ve used 4 but thats a bit too little | 15:53 |
| GridCube | 16 is fair enoug | 15:53 |
| GridCube | remember that some space you need to give to swap | 15:53 |
| mucus | how much does swap need? | 15:53 |
| GridCube | so make it 18, then give 16 to / and 2 to swap | 15:54 |
| GridCube | 2gb of swap is pretty good | 15:54 |
| mucus | can i install thia to my 8gb sd card then? | 15:54 |
| GridCube | yes | 15:54 |
| GridCube | !unetbootin | 15:54 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 15:54 |
| mucus | ill have to use thia pc and this sd to make xubu boot.... yes? | 15:54 |
| msev | guys is there any way to individually resize certain desktop icons in xfce, for example if I would want to have 1 icon bigger than the others? | 15:55 |
| mucus | hmmmmm thanks | 15:55 |
| GridCube | mucus, then you could use the sd card in any computer basically | 15:55 |
| mucus | i didnt think of just using unetbootin | 15:55 |
| mucus | but thats really what i think ill do | 15:55 |
| GridCube | read the presistent live wiki | 15:55 |
| mucus | lemme quit this install.... | 15:55 |
| GridCube | also you can actually "Install" to the sdcard | 15:55 |
| koegs | i would install it to the sd-card, not using live+persistent | 15:55 |
| mucus | oh | 15:55 |
| GridCube | not just use a live session | 15:55 |
| GridCube | thats actually better | 15:56 |
| GridCube | because it would not use ram to work | 15:56 |
| mucus | right cool | 15:56 |
| mucus | device for bootloader? same sd? | 15:56 |
| GridCube | you need another usb to install to the sdcard | 15:56 |
| GridCube | you can not install to itself as it contains the installer | 15:56 |
| mucus | i have a cd in the tower | 15:56 |
| mucus | well dvd | 15:56 |
| koegs | so you install ubuntu to the sd-card, put grub on the sd-card and then choose the boot medium while starting the pc/notebook | 15:57 |
| GridCube | :) that will do | 15:57 |
| GridCube | as koegs say | 15:57 |
| notmypudding | Hello, I just installed Xubuntu to my aging computer. It seemed to install properly, but it freezes once it hits the logo screen whenever I boot up. How do I go about troubleshooting this problem? I'm not sure where to begin. | 15:58 |
| mucus | https://www.dropbox.com/s/sqtw0q4yo9i2uoj/IMG_20131203_105842.jpg | 15:59 |
| mucus | like this tyen? | 15:59 |
| mucus | then... | 15:59 |
| GridCube | mucus, yep, that sounds doable :) | 16:00 |
| mucus | thank you so much | 16:00 |
| GridCube | remember that you need to install grub to the card | 16:00 |
| mucus | you made this easy, and probably saved my bacon.... | 16:00 |
| mucus | cant i just raise the boot priority of the sd in bios? | 16:00 |
| GridCube | if grub was not installed to it, it wont matter | 16:01 |
| GridCube | if grub got installed to you hd then you will be able to boot the sd card only on your pc | 16:02 |
| mucus | .... | 16:02 |
| mucus | wait | 16:02 |
| mucus | this sd will be able to boot on any pc?! | 16:02 |
| mucus | ::stunned:: | 16:02 |
| GridCube | if it has grub on it yes | 16:02 |
| mucus | so after i finish install i should apt-get grub or something? | 16:03 |
| GridCube | i would use something more friendly as boot-repair | 16:03 |
| mucus | got a link? | 16:03 |
| GridCube | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 16:03 |
| mucus | perfect | 16:04 |
| krytarik | mucus: You should choose 'ext4' for the system partition, rather than 'ext2', what you have now. | 16:04 |
| GridCube | for just 6gb there is no real difference | 16:04 |
| mucus | ext2 = journaling off? | 16:05 |
| mucus | yeah? | 16:05 |
| krytarik | mucus: Also, to answer your question on how much swap is recommended, please see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How_much_swap_do_I_need.3F | 16:05 |
| mucus | that means less read/write cycles | 16:06 |
| mucus | ie: longer sd lifr | 16:06 |
| mucus | am i thinking of that properly? | 16:06 |
| koegs | you wont really notice the difference in lifetime, but you loose integrity of files :) | 16:06 |
| mucus | if i get a catastrophic shut down | 16:06 |
| mucus | ie: power fails and my ups fails. | 16:07 |
| mucus | but proper boot/ shut down should retain integrtiy | 16:07 |
| mucus | i think. | 16:07 |
| mucus | yes? no? | 16:09 |
| notmypudding | I can get to the boot screen & I see the logo but it ends up freezing like this http://i.imgur.com/tF9fIrA.jpg | 16:11 |
| krytarik | mucus: 'ext4' has many advantages over its predecessors, and you can always turn journaling off if you really wish so. | 16:12 |
| mucus | kry basically by the time we started the convo it was too late ;) | 16:14 |
| krytarik | mucus: LOL | 16:14 |
| krytarik | Oh well. :P | 16:14 |
| mucus | i can redo the install....? would that be worth while? | 16:15 |
| notmypudding | Is there a way to boot where I can see what's causing it to freeze? | 16:15 |
| krytarik | mucus: I do think so, yes. | 16:15 |
| mucus | ho huhm gotta let this finish | 16:15 |
| krytarik | notmypudding: You can boot into recovery mode, and then check the previous boot's logs. | 16:17 |
| notmypudding | krytarik: How do I go about that? | 16:22 |
| krytarik | notmypudding: Press 'Shift' on boot-up to get the Grub menu, choose the "recovery mode" of your current kernel, and then after hopefully getting to the console, check "/var/log/syslog" and older for the previous boot's log entries. | 16:30 |
| mucus | should swap be primary or logical? | 16:33 |
| ObrienDave | logical | 16:34 |
| krytarik | mucus: Doesn't really matter. | 16:36 |
| Sysi | it matters, depending about your setup | 16:37 |
| slickymaster | mucus: for your reference http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/requirements.html | 16:37 |
| krytarik | Sysi, mucus: Well, if you -can- create it, it doesn't. :P | 16:38 |
| Sysi | krytarik: if you want to create or move partitions afterwards it does | 16:38 |
| krytarik | Sysi: Yeah, sure, that too. :) | 16:39 |
| krytarik | Sysi: But anyway, we are talking about this SD card atm :P - https://www.dropbox.com/s/sqtw0q4yo9i2uoj/IMG_20131203_105842.jpg | 16:40 |

| mucus | okay | 17:15 |
| mucus | so i have xubu installed and it boots | 17:15 |
| mucus | how can i get wireless networking going on it? | 17:15 |
| mucus | i have a wifi usb thinger but xubu doesn't seem to have built in drivers for it | 17:16 |
| mucus | the manufacturer doesn't have linux drivers for the adapter either | 17:16 |
| krytarik | !wifi | mucus | 17:17 |

| charles720 | hi again | 17:40 |
| charles720 | after clean reinstall 13.10 via usb still stuck on boot | 17:40 |
| charles720 | i figure its something with the graphicscard | 17:41 |
| charles720 | had trouble with it booting on dsl distro aswell | 17:41 |
| charles720 | but it booted once the correct parameters were set | 17:41 |
| charles720 | so i thought editing xorg.conf would do | 17:41 |
| charles720 | turns out xorg.conf is empty | 17:42 |
| charles720 | so, i am new to xubuntu, does xubuntu not use xorg? | 17:42 |
| charles720 | what does it use and where where do i find it | 17:42 |
| krytarik | !xorg.conf | charles720 | 17:43 |
| ubottu | charles720: The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. | 17:43 |
| charles720 | k | 17:44 |
| mucus | if i could get my tower online i could dl the drivers for my adapter | 17:44 |
| charles720 | i found a driver package for the specific graphic chip i am using | 17:44 |
| mucus | but i can't get online because i don't have the drivers for my adapter | 17:44 |
| GridCube | cable it | 17:45 |
| mucus | i don't have any 100ft cables | 17:45 |
| GridCube | use apt-offline | 17:46 |
| mucus | elaborate. | 17:46 |
| GridCube | !apt-offline | 17:46 |
| GridCube | agh | 17:46 |
| mucus | okay i googled it | 17:46 |
| mucus | anyhow, what am i doing with that? | 17:46 |
| GridCube | !info apt-offline | 17:47 |
| ubottu | apt-offline (source: apt-offline): offline APT package manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.1 (saucy), package size 77 kB, installed size 404 kB | 17:47 |
| GridCube | driver packages and install them | 17:47 |
| GridCube | ? | 17:47 |
| mucus | how can it do that? | 17:47 |
| mucus | my mind is boggled. | 17:47 |
| GridCube | find out what drivers you need and get them? | 17:48 |
| mucus | wouldn't it have to be a huge thing? | 17:48 |
| mucus | how can it get drivers if it isn't online? | 17:48 |
| GridCube | get them in a different computer / OS, and install them later using apt-offline | 17:48 |
| mucus | ah right | 17:49 |
| mucus | actually, i dunno if there are drivers available for this adapter | 17:50 |
| e-v-o | Hi all, is it possible to install an older version of ATI drivers in Xubuntu? When I try to install 12.8 drivers it complains that there are tools missing. I have installed the linux-headers and can't figure out what tools it's refering to! | 20:19 |
| e-v-o | I have looked all over the web for the past couple of days and can't find a way of installing older ATI graphics drivers. | 20:22 |
| krytarik | e-v-o: It sounds like you are trying to install the driver off their website, right? | 20:25 |
| e-v-o | that's right | 20:25 |
| e-v-o | how else can I install older drivers? | 20:25 |
| krytarik | Maybe just try installing the one offered by the Additional Drivers tool. | 20:25 |
| e-v-o | that's the one I have installed at the moment but it doesn't work properly with some software I'm using | 20:26 |
| e-v-o | cgminer in specific | 20:26 |
| krytarik | e-v-o: What exact error message do you get there then? | 20:28 |
| e-v-o | no message, it simply doesn't display the user interface | 20:28 |
| e-v-o | in th eweb it says it's due to the graphics drivers | 20:28 |
| krytarik | I mean when trying to install the driver manually. | 20:29 |
| e-v-o | oh right, something along the lines of the system doesn't have the required tools to install the drivers | 20:30 |
| e-v-o | when I google the error it says to install the linux-headers | 20:30 |
| e-v-o | which I did to no avail | 20:30 |
| krytarik | Well, we need it a 'little' more specific here. :P | 20:30 |
| krytarik | Oh, right, so you've googled the error message and it's referring to the kernel headers eventually? Then I don't know either. | 20:31 |
| e-v-o | ok... well for what is worth the exact error message is "One or more tools required for the installation cannoot be found on the system. | 20:32 |
| e-v-o | Install the required tools before installing the fglrx driver." | 20:32 |
| krytarik | Yeah, that's not exactly very specific indeed. :P | 20:33 |
| endika | hello | 20:34 |
| e-v-o | No, it's a crap error message which leads me nowhere! | 20:35 |
| e-v-o | : ( | 20:35 |
| krytarik | e-v-o: So you installed the package "linux-headers-generic"? | 20:35 |
| e-v-o | that's right | 20:36 |
| e-v-o | and during a second attempt I also installed the ones with the version of my kernel | 20:36 |
| krytarik | Yeah, that's being pulled as a matter of dependency. | 20:37 |
| e-v-o | It's a shame because after trying a bunch of distros I'm really digging the Xubuntu experience. | 20:37 |
| e-v-o | alright | 20:37 |
| krytarik | e-v-o: Did CGMiner ever work with the proprietary AMD/ATI driver before then? | 20:41 |
| e-v-o | no | 20:42 |
| e-v-o | I did a clean install | 20:42 |
| e-v-o | then installed the ATI driver from the Addicional Drivers Tool | 20:42 |
| krytarik | I mean on any other distro you've tried? | 20:42 |
| e-v-o | and saw issue and been trying to fix it since the weekend | 20:43 |
| e-v-o | oh yes, it was fine on Mint | 20:43 |
| e-v-o | And I was using the latest driver on Mint... | 20:44 |
| krytarik | The one off their website? | 20:44 |
| e-v-o | yes, I tried different ones | 20:45 |
| e-v-o | I mean different versions of the driver | 20:45 |
| krytarik | e-v-o: What version of Xubuntu are you using then? | 20:58 |
| e-v-o | latest 13.10 | 21:15 |
| krytarik | e-v-o: Well, you could try upgrading to the latest driver version available here: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa | 21:19 |
