[00:02] <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?
[00:03] <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...
[00:04] <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
[00:05] <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)
[00:06] <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
[00:07] <xubuntu523> because i have steam games and stuff on that one
[00:14] <gema1> puff, overheated my laptop with flash player to the point it crashed
[00:14] <gema1> ·$·$%·$%· flash on linux
[00:22] <gema1> so i guess no solution for flash player?
[00:25] <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
[00:26] <drc> so use one of them
[00:26] <gema1> i though linux was the best OS
[00:27] <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.
[00:28] <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
[00:29] <gema1> she only use the laptop to play those stupid "farm ville" like games
[00:31]  * 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
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <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.
[00:35] <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
[00:48] <xubuntu759> Hello - Is anybody here ?
[00:50] <gema1> i am
[01:11] <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
[01:12] <xubuntu176> My motherboard is a Gigabyte H87 HD3 with Radeon R9 graphics
[01:13] <xubuntu176> Any insight would be appreciated
[01:53] <ball> Is there some way to purge Xubuntu's package system? I can't seem to update it, fetch new packages etc.
[01:54] <ethermonk> what error are you getting?
[01:56] <ball> "Reading package lists... Error!"
[01:57] <ethermonk> sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
[01:57] <ethermonk> then sudo apt-get update
[04:28] <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
[04:29] <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?
[04:30] <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.
[04:31] <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
[04:32] <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] <Unit193> It's a driver "feature", I had it and fixed that.
[04:35] <sixdegrees> ah, great feature :) thanks. did you fix it by making an xorg.conf file?
[04:35] <Unit193> Yep, but with different content.
[04:37] <Unit193> Oh, nope.  Looked again, we came out the same.
[05:04] <sixdegrees> Unit193: ubottu: I applied the fix at #51 in the bug (1173649) and all is well. Sure seems like a bug to me.
[05:05] <Unit193> Mhmm.
[05:11] <sixdegrees> Thanks heaps for your help
[05:12] <Unit193> Sure.
[05:12] <Unit193> Something else newer, you're using SNA now which is noticably faster.
[05:27] <sixdegrees> Unit193: interesting
[05:41] <delt> Hello
[05:41] <delt> where is the equivalent of the DIR_COLORS file in *buntu?
[06:27] <ethermonk> delt,  LS_COLORS ?
[06:29] <delt> ethermonk: nope, cant find it
[06:30] <delt> oh great. even the manpage for dircolors doesn't say where the default is :/
[06:31] <delt> [pts/0][user@laptop]:/etc/profile.d$ grep -i dircolors *
[06:31] <delt> [pts/0][user@laptop]:/etc/profile.d$
[06:31] <delt> :(
[06:33] <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
[06:34] <ethermonk> im seeing you can mess with it in the .bashrc file in your home dir
[06:35] <ethermonk> around line 75
[16:13] <xubuntu494> Hello
[16:14] <xubuntu494> I'm in the middle of downloading Xubuntu and it has been stuck on Configuring the bcmwl-kernal-source for almost an hour, maybe more
[16:25] <xubuntu085> hello
[18:38]  * WinterOgChange Waves to all
[18:40]  * WinterOgChange nod at xubuntu-pat
[18:41] <xubuntu-pat> I just installed the "LTS release: 12.04", network is working fine with cable. but how do i install a wifi conection?
[18:42] <xubuntu-pat> some one here?
[18:43] <WinterOgChange> ifconfig to see where it is installed then ifconfig wlan(x) up
[18:43] <holstein> xubuntu-pat: many are here..
[18:43] <holstein> !wifi | xubuntu-pat
[18:43] <holstein> you might need to just wire up and install a proprietar driver.. for broadcom or whatever
[18:44] <xubuntu-pat> cool thanks will read this now
[18:44] <xubuntu-pat> thanks a lot guys, will see if it works otherwise i will conect here again
[18:50] <ToolsDevler> hi, anyone knows something about Linux for NSC Geode GX1-S (300Mhz)? I'm looking for a non-gui build...
[19:21] <starrats> HELP please!  This AM burned a good copy of ubuntu  and had the partitions perfect with the help of my winbox7 and I restarted and clicked on the ubuntu partition and it went to loading on the desktop with it's purple background and 4 or 5 little red dots going back and forth and then nothing happened.  It w ouldjust bounce between the black and the purple with the cursor arrrow.
[19:21] <starrats> Why did it not open up is my ?.
[19:22] <xubuntuNoob> wsuuup
[19:22] <xubuntuNoob> I am a noob
[19:23] <xubuntuNoob> will this version work with crossover linux?
[19:23] <xubuntuNoob> so I can have internet explorer and such
[19:24] <kRush> =D
[19:24] <xubuntuNoob> ?
[19:24] <xubuntuNoob> anyone?
[19:26] <xubuntuNoob> ?
[19:26] <xubuntuNoob> ?
[19:40] <starrats> must be at a 'dev' meeting, no one to help atm, that's cool.
[19:43] <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
[19:44] <starrats> I know pleia2, realized afterwards
[19:44] <starrats> but thank you for getting back to me on that
[19:45] <starrats> thought they were almost the same but I guess not
[19:57] <starrats> oh btw pleia2 my xubuntu is working perfect on my VirtualBox.
[20:18] <xubuntu437> Hi, I am sorry for asking...  I cannot set higher  resolution on an external monitor than my laptop is. Is there any way around ?
[21:03] <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.
[21:04] <utku> gvfs-mount --list shows devices, but none of them gets mounted automatically.
[21:05] <Sysi> what filesystem are the drives formatted to?
[21:07] <utku> Let me find out.
[21:08] <utku> Sysi: GParted says it doesn't know.
[21:08] <utku> I dd'ed the drive to Xubuntu's ISO actually.
[21:14] <Sysi> okay, create new partition table to that drive with gparted and then add fat32 or ntfs partition, it sholud work after replugging
[21:15] <utku> Sysi: That's not the only device that doesn't work though.
[21:16] <Sysi> well, how are they formatted? do they mount at all with file manager or just not automatically?
[21:17] <Sysi> also, are they usb3 ones and what version of xubuntu are you running?
[21:17] <utku> Sysi: It actually can read NTFS.
[21:18] <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.
[21:19] <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
[21:20] <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)
[21:21] <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.
[21:22] <Sysi> utku: actually modems usually work OOTB if you can actually get system to see them as a modem and not storage device
[21:23] <Sysi> they use standard protocol, usually problem is that they appear as cd or memsting and not modem
[21:24] <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"
[21:25] <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
[21:26] <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
