|---|---|---|
| kRush | I'm watching a flash video and everything just runs on fricking maximum clocks >:( | 03:31 |
| knuckleball | If you are a dev in here, thanks! I brought this laptop back to life with xubuntu! | 04:35 |
| shaggy | i has a question about xubuntu as im a first time user | 05:46 |
| shaggy | can xbuntu boot and run without a monitor? | 05:47 |
| shaggy | it seems that ubuntu freaks out about it | 05:47 |
| Unit193 | It's not a normal use case, but AFAIK it can just fine. Try it live? | 05:47 |
| shaggy | see with windows i konw you can. i would have thought linux was them same ? | 05:49 |
| shaggy | *know | 05:49 |
| holstein | shaggy: i do it often.. "headless".. xubuntu *is* ubuntu, and both should be able to do it | 05:49 |
| holstein | shaggy: how does it work from a live CD as Unit193 suggested? | 05:49 |
| shaggy | see im runing desktop and when i have tryed it i get a message about screen issues | 05:50 |
| shaggy | im still downloading my copy as i type | 05:50 |
| holstein | shaggy: how? what message? if its a bios screen, thast pre-os | 05:50 |
| holstein | shaggy: i literally unplug the monitor, and just run them headless.. occasionally i have to mess about with the bios | 05:51 |
| Unit193 | And if it's complaining about DISPLAY not set, then you can get that with a monitor hookedup. | 05:51 |
| shaggy | what happens is that ubuntu loads up then you get a low graphics card error and it wont go pas thta if you dont have a monitor plugged in | 05:51 |
| holstein | shaggy: you can just force the vesa driver.. i have just put xorg.conf files in place forcing the vesa driver | 05:52 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270209 for example | 05:53 |
| shaggy | Unit193: i dont whant to have a monitor that is the whole point and i dont want to have to plug one in and out. i have my PC set to trun on after say a blackout so i dont whant to plug a monitor in and out after that | 05:53 |
| holstein | i would want something like xfce that doesnt require 3d like unity does. but, maing ubuntu will do it | 05:53 |
| holstein | shaggy: what the issue is, is, you will have the same issue you are having with or without a monitor plugged in | 05:54 |
| shaggy | holstein: i have tried the VESA driver as i run teamviewer so i can try and tell if it has booted and after chaneing xorg it hangs | 05:54 |
| shaggy | holstein: works with vesa drivers if monitor is pluged in | 05:55 |
| holstein | shaggy: with the vesa driver, after booting, at it "fails", and you plug a monitor back in, whats going on? | 05:55 |
| shaggy | i shall do it now | 05:56 |
| shaggy | with u guys here | 05:56 |
| shaggy | 2 x pcs | 05:57 |
| holstein | shaggy: while you are rebooting, check the bios for "stop during" whatever options | 05:57 |
| shaggy | holstein: bios is fine as i was doing this with windows before | 05:57 |
| holstein | shaggy: if you dont mind, check it, ok? | 05:58 |
| shaggy | holstein: pc has been booted brb kettle | 05:58 |
| shaggy | ok will do | 05:58 |
| shaggy | holstein: bios is set to halt on no errors | 06:01 |
| shaggy | so bios wont halt. pc should have booted by now but nothing | 06:02 |
| holstein | shaggy: OK.. so, plug a monitor in,a nd see what it says, if anything.. and consider setting up ssh on the machine so you can go in right now and look | 06:02 |
| shaggy | and moitor is blank | 06:03 |
| holstein | teamviewer is not going to help much in this case | 06:03 |
| holstein | shaggy: try tty | 06:03 |
| shaggy | lol i guessed that | 06:03 |
| shaggy | i shall setup ssh | 06:04 |
| shaggy | sudo apt-get install ssh ?? | 06:05 |
| holstein | !ssh | 06:05 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 06:05 |

| shaggy | i have putty up on windows now | 06:05 |
| holstein | ^ sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 06:05 |
| Unit193 | dropbear if you want one in your initramfs. | 06:06 |
| holstein | shaggy: you can always try a mini iso, or the server version.. its always "just worked" for me, though, i have had some issues settled in the bios or with the vesa driver | 06:06 |
| Unit193 | I've booted headless no problems. :/ | 06:06 |
| Unit193 | shaggy: How do you know it's not up? | 06:07 |
| holstein | shaggy: i must sleep.. good luck | 06:07 |
| Unit193 | sleep well, holstein. | 06:07 |
| shaggy | chher for help thus far | 06:08 |
| shaggy | Unit193: do u plug a monitor in then once booted unplug ? | 06:09 |
| Unit193 | Normally it's in all the time, but I have in the past booted without one entirely. I'm wondering at what point is it stopping though. | 06:09 |
| shaggy | ssh is installed now so i will reboot and see | 06:10 |
| shaggy | Unit193:: its not even getting to a point where i can ssh into it | 06:13 |
| shaggy | will try xubuntu live | 06:15 |
| shaggy | ok live is booting up now | 06:21 |
| sisyphus | hello...does anyone here have any experience with the wolfram CDFplayer? I have the desktop version that is available for linux and it is installed properly. Now I am wondering how I download an embedded cdf file from a webpage so that I can view it in the desktop player. any advice would be helpful. google just tells me how to install it. | 06:30 |
| sisyphus | judging by the silence I can only deduce that I either asked a stupid question or asked it on the wrong channel. | 06:37 |
| elfy | or no-one is about who's got an answer :) | 06:39 |
| Unit193 | sisyphus: First time hearing about whatever that is. Can you look at the page source and see the embed link? Would dwhelper (firefox addon) spot it? | 06:39 |
| Unit193 | (General questions, I don't know) | 06:39 |
| xubuntu904 | maybee this way might work | 06:40 |
| xubuntu904 | live booted up ok | 06:40 |
| Unit193 | \o/ | 06:44 |
| sisyphus | hmmm. it appears that the file is not present in the source if the browser detects a lack of plugin. unfortunately the browser plugin only exists for windows and macOS. | 06:46 |
| braden_ | Question - I have multiple workspaces enabled and whenever I try to drag a window to the side of the screen to "snap" it to half of the screen it wraps around to the next workspace. Is there any way to disable this behavior? | 07:17 |
| braden_ | Ah, never mind, I got it. The setting is handled by the window manager. | 07:19 |
| xubuntu460 | ciao | 07:22 |
| xubuntu460 | posso fare una domanda?? | 07:23 |
| xubuntu460 | there is a person that can help me?? | 07:23 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu904, is English please | 07:24 |
| cfhowlett | !it | 07:24 |

| Shudorshon | hi | 07:33 |
| Shudorshon | having problem with hotot | 07:33 |
| Shaggy-89 | hey all | 09:34 |
| Shaggy-89 | how many people know hot to make xubuntu run with no monitor ? | 09:39 |
| baizon | Shaggy-89: for what purpose? | 09:49 |
| baizon | and what do you mean by "with no monitor"? | 09:50 |
| baizon | you can run xubuntu as a server for example | 09:50 |
| cfhowlett | Shaggy-89, sounds like a "headless server" thing - ask in #ubuntu-server | 09:50 |
| HarryRsole | Hi | 14:00 |
| HarryRsole | I'm having an issue with you tube videos not working, ie. green and pink picture. | 14:02 |
| HarryRsole | I tried the solutions that I found online but nothing seemed to work. | 14:02 |
| Sysi | HarryRsole: what did those solutions include? | 14:22 |
| Sysi | did you try right-cligking on video and disabling hardware acceleration in settings? | 14:22 |
| HarryRsole | Yeah, I was just about to say that. | 14:23 |
| HarryRsole | when I actually right clicked on the video itself I could barely make out the selection to disable hardware acceleration | 14:24 |
| HarryRsole | In chromium i disabled it in settings | 14:24 |
| Sysi | if you're using chromium you can try this http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/install-pepper-flash-player-for.html | 14:27 |
| xubuntu253 | hi! why gentoo is so hard and ubuntu so nice? | 15:33 |
| uflaig | hello everyone, having a problem with autostart! | 15:59 |
| uflaig | I'm using synergy, and I see one entry for synergy in ~/.config/autostart for synergy, yet it autostarts 3 times | 16:00 |
| uflaig | I tried the awesome window manager and switched back to xfce, since then it starts like I said before 3 times | 16:01 |
| uflaig | does anyone have any ideas where I might find more autostart entries? | 16:02 |
| Sysi | try emptying ~/.cache/sessions | 16:04 |
| uflaig | Sysi: alright, rm ~/.cache/sessions | 16:05 |
| uflaig | I mean rm ~/.cache/sessions/* | 16:06 |
| uflaig | anyhow, need to restart to test it, brb! | 16:06 |
| bingo | hello. What is command to install xubuntu please? | 16:08 |
| uflaig | Sysi: I'm back, and I have to tell it worked, thanks a lot Sysi! | 16:08 |
| Sysi | uflaig: you're welcome | 16:10 |
| uflaig | : ) | 16:10 |
| Sysi | bingo: on top of ubuntu? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 16:10 |
| bingo | okay ubuntu is fully updated. so i can just do the second? | 16:12 |
| Sysi | yup | 16:14 |

| Shudorshon | does anyone know voyager linux official channel? | 18:29 |
| holstein | !voyager | 18:29 |
| holstein | hmm.. i thought we had one of those | 18:30 |
| Shudorshon | name? | 18:30 |
| holstein | Shudorshon: yes.. i'll just open a seach browser and find it... and give it to you.. please wait.. thanks | 18:30 |
| Shudorshon | ok kimusabi | 18:30 |
| * Shudorshon is waiting... | 18:31 | |
| holstein | Shudorshon: http://voyager.legtux.org/index.php/a-propos-2/ | 18:33 |
| Shudorshon | holstein, is it their irc channel address? | 18:34 |
| holstein | Shudorshon: you can ask them at the above contact link.. | 18:34 |
| holstein | Shudorshon: they may not have an irc channel.. and it may not be on freenode if they do.. | 18:34 |
| Shudorshon | yeah i think they have no channel in freenode | 18:35 |
| elfy | dont forget we have a irc channel on freenode irc.freenode.net #voyage | 18:35 |
| elfy | http://list.voyage.hk/pipermail/voyage-linux/2012-January/021727.html | 18:35 |
| elfy | whether it's live or not is another question | 18:35 |
| Shudorshon | the voyage is not voyager os room, kimusabi | 18:35 |
| elfy | oh well :) | 18:36 |
| holstein | Shudorshon: you can use tab to autocomplete nicknames | 18:36 |
| Shudorshon | kimusabi means brother | 18:36 |
| Shudorshon | i hope u r a guy | 18:37 |
| holstein | Shudorshon: you can refer to volunteers by nick, and have no issues where hope is a concern | 18:37 |
| * Shudorshon smiles | 18:38 | |
| * Shudorshon also wonders | 18:38 | |
| Shudorshon | holstein, do u know about hotot? | 18:39 |
| holstein | Shudorshon: you can also use the #xubuntu-offtopic channel for chat | 18:39 |
| Shudorshon | u dont know? | 18:40 |
| verdes | somebody has tried installing xubuntu wiht floppies? | 18:41 |
| holstein | Shudorshon: i have not used it | 18:41 |
| Shudorshon | holstein, ok, im having a problem, can i ask u about it | 18:42 |
| Shudorshon | :) | 18:42 |
| holstein | verdes: not in many years.. nothing is preventing that, though, i would rather plug in external media or do a net install | 18:42 |
| holstein | !mini | verdes these iso's are smaller | 18:42 |
| ubottu | verdes these iso's are smaller: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 18:42 |
| holstein | Shudorshon: you just ask, generally.. and a volunteer in the channel may be able to help | 18:43 |
| Shudorshon | Shudorshon, should i ask them mentioning their nick | 18:43 |
| Shudorshon | as u said | 18:43 |
| verdes | holstein: pc doesn't have cd reader and can't boot using usb; how to do net install? | 18:44 |
| holstein | verdes: i would take the hard drive to another machine, install, and move it back | 18:45 |
| holstein | !ask | Shudorshon | 18:45 |
| ubottu | Shudorshon: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 18:45 |
| Shudorshon | ok | 18:46 |
| Shudorshon | in one sentence ! | 18:46 |
| verdes | holstein: great advice, but I have actually an old laptop :) | 18:47 |
| Shudorshon | holstein, but u know its hard to ask about a question in only one sentence | 18:47 |
| bazhang | Shudorshon, did you have an actual xubuntu support question | 18:48 |
| Shudorshon | yes | 18:48 |
| Shudorshon | voyager is running on xubuntu so i think i should ask in xubuntu channel | 18:48 |
| bazhang | you are running voyager OS | 18:48 |
| bazhang | thats not supported | 18:49 |
| Shudorshon | but it says voyager os 12.04 is lts | 18:49 |
| bazhang | not supported | 18:49 |
| Shudorshon | why not | 18:49 |
| holstein | Shudorshon: you will ask at the link i provided.. the support link at the site.. | 18:49 |
| Shudorshon | ohh ok | 18:50 |
| holstein | Shudorshon: this is the xubuntu support channel, and voyager, though based on xubuntu, is not xubuntu | 18:50 |
| bazhang | it's not xubuntu, it's a derivative | 18:50 |
| Shudorshon | so this channel is only for pure xubuntu right? | 18:50 |
| bazhang | correct | 18:50 |
| starrats | yes | 18:50 |
| Shudorshon | omg | 18:50 |
| Shudorshon | ok then i should stop asking | 18:50 |
| holstein | verdes: doenst matter what it is, if you can move the hard drive to other hardware, that would be one of the easier ways to address that.. | 18:50 |
| Shudorshon | ok then i think i should leave the channel | 18:51 |
| starrats | I mistakenly found out that yesterday, I now know this channel is nothing but xubuntu support! | 18:51 |
| Sysi | vouager has problems vanilla xubuntu doesn't, that's why I'd recommend setting up xubuntu with vouager themes and such if desired | 18:51 |
| holstein | Shudorshon: the #xubuntu-offtopic channel i referenced ealier is more "open", and somewhere you can hang out in and chat | 18:51 |
| Shudorshon | holstein, r u there? | 18:52 |
| Shudorshon | Sysi, u there | 19:17 |
| Yahto | I hope that i can get a bit of help here. i am having problems with my hotkeys/ fn + f1-12 the problem is that they are really slow they work but slow. if i turn volume up it takes about 10 sec to react to it | 21:31 |
| linus | i 'm trying to follow thus tutorial http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ ,but when i come to step 3 i double click the file but i don't get the listed optiond but instead the file is opened in gedit as text file.what went wrong? | 23:31 |
| adrenaline_ | Is it an ISO File? | 23:32 |
| adrenaline_ | wait I am looking at your link | 23:33 |
| holstein | linus: i use unetbootin | 23:37 |
| linus | adrenaline_, ok,thanx.i had to open it in terminal using ./file.it's running noe | 23:38 |
| linus | holstein, is it any better? | 23:39 |
| holstein | linus: "better" is a matter of opinion and use case.. it works for me.. | 23:39 |
| linus | ok,i may try it in case this one fails | 23:41 |
| holstein | ok.. i thought you were here due to failure... | 23:42 |
| holstein | !info unetbootin | 23:42 |

| linus | but it's not used for multi boot .is it? | 23:46 |
| holstein | yumi is what i used for that.. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/ i did it once years ago and it was kind of "meh".. so i dont bother anymore.. but, it worked as advertised | 23:47 |
| linus | i tried it yesterday .it didn't work | 23:48 |
| holstein | linus: you'll just need to ask the maintainers of the tools that arent working | 23:50 |
| linus | it didn't work under Debian but may be it will for ubuntu | 23:51 |
