| gema1 | i suggest reinstaling xubuntu and make sure you follow steps correctly | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| gema1 | are you installing on a different partition? | 00:02 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu523: How new a computer? UEFI? | 00:02 |
| gema1 | on my experience i havent have problems with uefi always you install first windows and then xubuntu or ubuntu on a different partition | 00:03 |
| xubuntu523 | yeah i installed it to another partition, actually what i did was install it to a 2nd hard disk which has music and games on it from my windows installation, and its now missing in windows..that wasn't what i wanted to happen... | 00:03 |
| xubuntu523 | can i save it? | 00:04 |
| xubuntu523 | or did i just erase it? :( | 00:04 |
| gema1 | u cant install xubuntu on a ntfs partition | 00:04 |
| xubuntu523 | it was unknown it said | 00:05 |
| gema1 | i belive you parted you second harddrive to have a partition with your windows data (nfts) and then a second partition for xubuntu (ext4) | 00:05 |
| xubuntu523 | oh | 00:06 |
| xubuntu523 | i don't see my 2nd hard drive right now, only the main one | 00:06 |
| xubuntu523 | and that concerns me | 00:06 |
| xubuntu523 | because i have steam games and stuff on that one | 00:07 |
| gema1 | puff, overheated my laptop with flash player to the point it crashed | 00:14 |
| gema1 | ·$·$%·$%· flash on linux | 00:14 |
| gema1 | so i guess no solution for flash player? | 00:22 |
| gema1 | it will be a pitty to have to go back to xp just coz flash player is not well supported in linux | 00:25 |
| gema1 | there are billions of devices running flash player games correctly | 00:25 |
| drc | so use one of them | 00:26 |
| gema1 | i though linux was the best OS | 00:26 |
| gema1 | i will have to go back to windows | 00:27 |
| gema1 | by device runs perfectly flash player with other os but linux | 00:27 |
| gema1 | my* | 00:27 |
| drc | If flash games are your primary concern, then yes, I'd go back to windows. | 00:27 |
| gema1 | is coz my syster | 00:28 |
| gema1 | is here primary concern | 00:28 |
| gema1 | her* | 00:28 |
| gema1 | i cant get here use linux if there is not a solution with flash player | 00:28 |
| gema1 | she only use the laptop to play those stupid "farm ville" like games | 00:29 |
| * drc remembers having problems with flash and the last Summer Olympics live streams...overheating...confirmed my "I don't give a **** about flash" attitude :) | 00:31 | |
| gema1 | i had an i5 wich i could run those game perfectly under my ubuntu, but i just broke it, so im trying to use my sister laptop but i cant work anymore with windows, so meanwhile i get another laptop i wanted to have xubuntu on my syster laptop | 00:31 |
| gema1 | if being trying to get her to use linux many years but i always came to same problem, i dont understand how such a big linux community havent found the solution allready | 00:32 |
| gema1 | they can decode any software and crack it and copy it but they cant with flash player, i really dont understand it | 00:33 |
| drc | gema1: I'd hazard a guess that linux devs don't really care about Faceboot/Flash games, or they would have already. | 00:33 |
| drc | Of course <you> are more than welcome to sit down and spend <your> time doing it. | 00:35 |
| gema1 | yes i belive so, nevertheless during all this years i have read many tries, even flash alternatives, so i thing or the buildiers of the alternatives have got much money from adobe to stop building competence or they may have being harrased to stop trying to build a software wich can do the same thing on linux that a patented protected software does | 00:35 |
| xubuntu759 | Hello - Is anybody here ? | 00:48 |
| gema1 | i am | 00:50 |
| xubuntu176 | Hello - I am new to linux - I have been trying for five days to get xubunto to install from usb onto another usb - It installs but does not boot from the install | 01:11 |
| xubuntu176 | My motherboard is a Gigabyte H87 HD3 with Radeon R9 graphics | 01:12 |
| xubuntu176 | Any insight would be appreciated | 01:13 |
| ball | Is there some way to purge Xubuntu's package system? I can't seem to update it, fetch new packages etc. | 01:53 |
| ethermonk | what error are you getting? | 01:54 |
| ball | "Reading package lists... Error!" | 01:56 |
| ethermonk | sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf | 01:57 |
| ethermonk | then sudo apt-get update | 01:57 |
| sixdegrees | Just moved from Ubuntu to Xubuntu - loving the speed. Gradients appear banded though, I think it's an issue with the color depth. Is this a common bug? Graphics chip is embedded Intel 82865G | 04:28 |
| kRush | everywhere or just with the default wallpapers? because those suck | 04:29 |
| cfhowlett | sixdegrees, if ubuntu rendered properly then I'd guess it's not your chip. you seem to have a different gpu driver with xubuntu? | 04:29 |
| Unit193 | sixdegrees: Different version of Ubuntu? xdpyinfo | grep root | 04:30 |
| Unit193 | kRush: They may not fit your needs, but they don't blend badly. | 04:30 |
| sixdegrees | thx all. It is a different version, I was on ubuntu 12.04, now xubuntu 13.10 | 04:31 |
| sixdegrees | root window id: 0x63 depth of root window: 15 planes | 04:31 |
| Unit193 | sixdegrees: Yeeep, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1173649 | 04:32 |
| sixdegrees | it's not just on the wallpapers, gimp and photos too | 04:32 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1173649 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "incorrect color depth - intel graphics card" [Undecided,Opinion] | 04:32 |
| Unit193 | It's a driver "feature", I had it and fixed that. | 04:32 |
| sixdegrees | ah, great feature :) thanks. did you fix it by making an xorg.conf file? | 04:35 |
| Unit193 | Yep, but with different content. | 04:35 |
| Unit193 | Oh, nope. Looked again, we came out the same. | 04:37 |
| sixdegrees | Unit193: ubottu: I applied the fix at #51 in the bug (1173649) and all is well. Sure seems like a bug to me. | 05:04 |
| Unit193 | Mhmm. | 05:05 |
| sixdegrees | Thanks heaps for your help | 05:11 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 05:12 |
| Unit193 | Something else newer, you're using SNA now which is noticably faster. | 05:12 |
| sixdegrees | Unit193: interesting | 05:27 |

| delt | "find" is only finding stuff on my slackware partition...... i could hack up something using /etc/profile but i want to know the "proper" way to do it | 06:33 |

| starrats | must be at a 'dev' meeting, no one to help atm, that's cool. | 19:40 |
| pleia2 | xubuntuNoob: a current version of crossover should work fine with xubuntu, if you're worried you can try it on a live session | 19:43 |
| OneWithWaves | Hi, all! Is anyone an expert with private key management in Xubuntu? | 19:43 |
| pleia2 | starrats: this channel is for xubuntu, our startup screen is blue :) I think you want #ubuntu for help with purple | 19:43 |
| starrats | I know pleia2, realized afterwards | 19:44 |
| starrats | but thank you for getting back to me on that | 19:44 |

| utku | I just installed Xubuntu and can't get USB drives work at the moment. | 21:03 |
| utku | Answers on both Ask Ubuntu and Ubuntu Forums didn't really help. | 21:03 |
| utku | gvfs-mount --list shows devices, but none of them gets mounted automatically. | 21:04 |
| Sysi | what filesystem are the drives formatted to? | 21:05 |
| utku | Let me find out. | 21:07 |
| utku | Sysi: GParted says it doesn't know. | 21:08 |
| utku | I dd'ed the drive to Xubuntu's ISO actually. | 21:08 |
| Sysi | okay, create new partition table to that drive with gparted and then add fat32 or ntfs partition, it sholud work after replugging | 21:14 |
| utku | Sysi: That's not the only device that doesn't work though. | 21:15 |
| Sysi | well, how are they formatted? do they mount at all with file manager or just not automatically? | 21:16 |
| Sysi | also, are they usb3 ones and what version of xubuntu are you running? | 21:17 |
| utku | Sysi: It actually can read NTFS. | 21:17 |
| utku | The main issue that I have is that Xubuntu doesn't mount the partiton of my USB modem which has the drivers for the modem. | 21:18 |
| utku | That thing is read only so formatting would obviously not work. | 21:18 |
| alfatau | hello all. i bought a new display to attach to my laptop. i would like to have the laptop on the left and the new monitor on the right. I'd also like the new monitor is the primary monitor. | 21:19 |
| utku | Also, a friend of mine will be use the PC and I don't want him to deal with command line stuff. | 21:19 |
| Sysi | utku: there probaly is a better way to get the driver if it doesn't work by default | 21:19 |
| Sysi | usually they contain just windows drivers | 21:19 |
| Sysi | did you try just connecting with the networking applet, you might need to manually create new mobile broadband connection in settings | 21:20 |
| alfatau | if i set the new monitor at the right of the laptop's one, the upper xfce panel is left on the laptop monitor while the side one appears on the new display. | 21:20 |
| alfatau | can you help me? | 21:20 |
| utku | Sysi: Linux drivers are there, I am sure. (Although it says it needs Qt3 as dependency but I'll deal with it later) | 21:20 |
| Sysi | alfatau: unlock panels in their settings and drag to desired screen | 21:21 |
| utku | Sysi: I was able to mount the USB stick after formatting, thanks for that one. | 21:21 |
| Sysi | utku: actually modems usually work OOTB if you can actually get system to see them as a modem and not storage device | 21:22 |
| Sysi | they use standard protocol, usually problem is that they appear as cd or memsting and not modem | 21:23 |
| utku | Sysi: Connecting the device using the applet also worked. | 21:24 |
| Sysi | I have a good wibe today | 21:24 |
| utku | One last thing, wlan0 doesn't work because it is "hardware locked" | 21:24 |
| alfatau | Sysi: ok, but it seems always being not primary, because the icons are left on the laptop monitor. any idea? | 21:25 |
| utku | rfkill unblock didn't help. | 21:25 |
| knome | utku, look for a hardware switch | 21:25 |
| utku | knome: The device doesn't have one. | 21:26 |
| Sysi | check from bios | 21:26 |
| knome | utku, might also be a setting in the bios | 21:26 |
