[00:02] i suggest reinstaling xubuntu and make sure you follow steps correctly [00:02] are you installing on a different partition? [00:02] xubuntu523: How new a computer? UEFI? [00:03] 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] 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] can i save it? [00:04] or did i just erase it? :( [00:04] u cant install xubuntu on a ntfs partition [00:05] it was unknown it said [00:05] 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] oh [00:06] i don't see my 2nd hard drive right now, only the main one [00:06] and that concerns me [00:07] because i have steam games and stuff on that one [00:14] puff, overheated my laptop with flash player to the point it crashed [00:14] ·$·$%·$%· flash on linux [00:22] so i guess no solution for flash player? [00:25] it will be a pitty to have to go back to xp just coz flash player is not well supported in linux [00:25] there are billions of devices running flash player games correctly [00:26] so use one of them [00:26] i though linux was the best OS [00:27] i will have to go back to windows [00:27] by device runs perfectly flash player with other os but linux [00:27] my* [00:27] If flash games are your primary concern, then yes, I'd go back to windows. [00:28] is coz my syster [00:28] is here primary concern [00:28] her* [00:28] i cant get here use linux if there is not a solution with flash player [00:29] 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] 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] 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] they can decode any software and crack it and copy it but they cant with flash player, i really dont understand it [00:33] gema1: I'd hazard a guess that linux devs don't really care about Faceboot/Flash games, or they would have already. [00:35] Of course are more than welcome to sit down and spend time doing it. [00:35] 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] Hello - Is anybody here ? [00:50] i am [01:11] 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] My motherboard is a Gigabyte H87 HD3 with Radeon R9 graphics [01:13] Any insight would be appreciated [01:53] Is there some way to purge Xubuntu's package system? I can't seem to update it, fetch new packages etc. [01:54] what error are you getting? [01:56] "Reading package lists... Error!" [01:57] sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf [01:57] then sudo apt-get update [04:28] 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] everywhere or just with the default wallpapers? because those suck [04:29] 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] sixdegrees: Different version of Ubuntu? xdpyinfo | grep root [04:30] kRush: They may not fit your needs, but they don't blend badly. [04:31] thx all. It is a different version, I was on ubuntu 12.04, now xubuntu 13.10 [04:31] root window id: 0x63 depth of root window: 15 planes [04:32] sixdegrees: Yeeep, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1173649 [04:32] it's not just on the wallpapers, gimp and photos too [04:32] Ubuntu bug 1173649 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "incorrect color depth - intel graphics card" [Undecided,Opinion] [04:32] It's a driver "feature", I had it and fixed that. [04:35] ah, great feature :) thanks. did you fix it by making an xorg.conf file? [04:35] Yep, but with different content. [04:37] Oh, nope. Looked again, we came out the same. [05:04] 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] Mhmm. [05:11] Thanks heaps for your help [05:12] Sure. [05:12] Something else newer, you're using SNA now which is noticably faster. [05:27] Unit193: interesting [05:41] Hello [05:41] where is the equivalent of the DIR_COLORS file in *buntu? [06:27] delt, LS_COLORS ? === GTB3NW_AWAY is now known as GTB3NW [06:29] ethermonk: nope, cant find it [06:30] oh great. even the manpage for dircolors doesn't say where the default is :/ [06:31] [pts/0][user@laptop]:/etc/profile.d$ grep -i dircolors * [06:31] [pts/0][user@laptop]:/etc/profile.d$ [06:31] :( [06:33] "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] im seeing you can mess with it in the .bashrc file in your home dir [06:35] around line 75 [16:13] Hello [16:14] 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] hello === xubuntu176 is now known as WinterOgChange [18:38] * WinterOgChange Waves to all [18:40] * WinterOgChange nod at xubuntu-pat [18:41] I just installed the "LTS release: 12.04", network is working fine with cable. but how do i install a wifi conection? [18:42] some one here? [18:43] ifconfig to see where it is installed then ifconfig wlan(x) up [18:43] xubuntu-pat: many are here.. [18:43] !wifi | xubuntu-pat [18:43] xubuntu-pat: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:43] you might need to just wire up and install a proprietar driver.. for broadcom or whatever [18:44] cool thanks will read this now [18:44] thanks a lot guys, will see if it works otherwise i will conect here again [18:50] hi, anyone knows something about Linux for NSC Geode GX1-S (300Mhz)? I'm looking for a non-gui build... [19:21] 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] Why did it not open up is my ?. [19:22] wsuuup [19:22] I am a noob [19:23] will this version work with crossover linux? [19:23] so I can have internet explorer and such [19:24] =D [19:24] ? [19:24] anyone? [19:26] ? [19:26] ? [19:40] must be at a 'dev' meeting, no one to help atm, that's cool. [19:43] 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] Hi, all! Is anyone an expert with private key management in Xubuntu? [19:43] starrats: this channel is for xubuntu, our startup screen is blue :) I think you want #ubuntu for help with purple [19:44] I know pleia2, realized afterwards [19:44] but thank you for getting back to me on that [19:45] thought they were almost the same but I guess not [19:57] oh btw pleia2 my xubuntu is working perfect on my VirtualBox. [20:18] Hi, I am sorry for asking... I cannot set higher resolution on an external monitor than my laptop is. Is there any way around ? === GTB3NW is now known as GTB3NW_AWAY [21:03] I just installed Xubuntu and can't get USB drives work at the moment. [21:03] Answers on both Ask Ubuntu and Ubuntu Forums didn't really help. [21:04] gvfs-mount --list shows devices, but none of them gets mounted automatically. [21:05] what filesystem are the drives formatted to? [21:07] Let me find out. [21:08] Sysi: GParted says it doesn't know. [21:08] I dd'ed the drive to Xubuntu's ISO actually. [21:14] okay, create new partition table to that drive with gparted and then add fat32 or ntfs partition, it sholud work after replugging [21:15] Sysi: That's not the only device that doesn't work though. [21:16] well, how are they formatted? do they mount at all with file manager or just not automatically? [21:17] also, are they usb3 ones and what version of xubuntu are you running? [21:17] Sysi: It actually can read NTFS. [21:18] 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] That thing is read only so formatting would obviously not work. [21:19] 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] Also, a friend of mine will be use the PC and I don't want him to deal with command line stuff. [21:19] utku: there probaly is a better way to get the driver if it doesn't work by default [21:19] usually they contain just windows drivers [21:20] did you try just connecting with the networking applet, you might need to manually create new mobile broadband connection in settings [21:20] 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] can you help me? [21:20] 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] alfatau: unlock panels in their settings and drag to desired screen [21:21] Sysi: I was able to mount the USB stick after formatting, thanks for that one. [21:22] utku: actually modems usually work OOTB if you can actually get system to see them as a modem and not storage device [21:23] they use standard protocol, usually problem is that they appear as cd or memsting and not modem [21:24] Sysi: Connecting the device using the applet also worked. [21:24] I have a good wibe today [21:24] One last thing, wlan0 doesn't work because it is "hardware locked" [21:25] Sysi: ok, but it seems always being not primary, because the icons are left on the laptop monitor. any idea? [21:25] rfkill unblock didn't help. [21:25] utku, look for a hardware switch [21:26] knome: The device doesn't have one. [21:26] check from bios [21:26] utku, might also be a setting in the bios [21:59] hi [23:31] hi im a newbie at ubuntu. tried to setup ssh server. but unable to connect to it [23:31] ssh -v localhost - even that command from the local machine returns an error of [23:31] permission denied okease try again [23:32] im using the username and the password that i used to setup ubuntu and login [23:32] also says authentication that can continue public key, password [23:33] could someone please let me know what i am doing wrong [23:58] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH
