[03:49] <xubuntu037> hello.
[03:49] <cubed_root> hey xubuntu037
[03:49] <xubuntu037> Can anyone help a first time user install xubuntu?
[03:49] <cfhowlett> !install|xubuntu037,
[03:51] <cubed_root> xubuntu037: what are you thinkng of installing it on?
[03:51] <xubuntu037> I've used a USB drive to install. Xubuntu is up and running, however when I update the software, it downloads, "installs" but when I reboot, I'm on the same version
[03:51] <cubed_root> it's pretty straightforward on a pc, mac's are pretty tough
[03:51] <cubed_root> i think those are just minor updates
[03:52] <cubed_root> the version (eg 12.03) doesn't change i believe
[03:52] <xubuntu037> im on 13.10
[03:52] <cubed_root> ... until there's a major update
[03:52] <cubed_root> yea, i think it will be 13.10 for a few months
[03:52] <cubed_root> if i'm wrong someone please chime in but i think new releases are every 6 months?
[03:53] <xubuntu037> so, each time I click suofware updater, its a new package that's downloading?
[03:53] <xubuntu037> software
[03:53] <holstein> xubuntu037: you dont get a new version that way.. thats just updates to your current packages.. and not necessarily the most recent versions available
[03:53] <cubed_root> that popup that says it has some updates? (i usually see firefox and a few other apps in there)
[03:53] <cfhowlett> cubed_root, correctomundo - but you COULD just choose the Long Term Support version for 5 years of support
[03:53] <cubed_root> thanks cfhowlett
[03:54] <xubuntu037> sorry for the dumb question, i think its just updating more stuff. Thanks for the input!
[03:55] <holstein> xubuntu037: *you* are updating "stuff", using the update tool
[03:56] <xubuntu037> well, technically its doing it but hey semantics...
[03:56] <cubed_root> xubuntu037: i had the same question 3 weeks ago
[03:56] <holstein> xubuntu037: that was a technical rephrasing.. you have instigated the upate
[03:56] <holstein> update*
[03:57] <xubuntu037> yo comprendo. I was just poking you. Im just thankful for someone to answer my questions
[04:04] <cubed_root> are there any particularly active linux rooms out there?
[04:05] <holstein> cubed_root: xubuntu is using the linux kernel.. so, this channel comes to mind.. #ubuntu would be more active.. there are a few more general linux channels on freenode and other servers
[04:07] <cubed_root> thanks holstein, yea this room is pretty active, but it sometimes goes quiet for awhile.  maybe it's considered pretty active in comparison.  it's a lot better than some of the other rooms i've been in.
[04:08] <holstein> cubed_root: the offtopic channels might be more active for just chatting.. like #xubuntu-offtopic or the #ubuntu-offtopic one
[04:11] <cubed_root> thanks holstein
[04:11] <cubed_root> will check 'em out
[04:54] <xubuntu037> So, I've downloaded updates twice now... they've been exactly the same size. the items "installed" are all the same items. Ideas?
[04:55] <xubuntu037> i would think that if its installed, that it wouldn't want to update it again
[04:56] <cfhowlett> xubuntu037, I suspect you did NOT in fact install the first time ... unless you did some strange kind of reinstall updates command
[05:04] <xubuntu037> Well, I clicked the install now... it takes over from there, then asks for reboot (button doesn't work so I sudo reboot)
[05:04] <xubuntu037> check for updates again and same things are there to install
[05:05] <cfhowlett> xubuntu037, are you installed to the HDD or what?
[05:06] <xubuntu037> I've just installed from a 16gb thumb drive, configured as an install disk
[05:06] <xubuntu037> I have another 16gb thumb drive as well
[05:06] <cfhowlett> xubuntu037, and you're now booting from the HDD - NOT the thumb?
[05:13] <xubuntu037> I used Unetbootin on one USB drive as installation disk to install on second usb drive. That drive is now booting the system
[05:15] <cfhowlett> !persistence|xubuntu037,
[05:16] <cfhowlett> xubuntu037, when you boot the USB, you're running a live cd session.  permanent updates are not possible.   you need to install with the persistence option as per the link above
[05:17] <xubuntu037> I love this chat room. Thank you for the help!!!
[05:18] <cfhowlett> xubuntu037, best of luck to you
[05:47] <pubme> hey all, having issues installing xubuntu 13.10 on an old hp pavilion dv6000 notebook. the installation screens are showing basically the top-left 25% of the graphics, and they're repeating over each other 4x... it's hard to describe. machine has intel GMA x3100. any ideas?
[06:46] <ezrhino> hello. Will disabling Nvidia X Server Settings from startup have any negative effects ?
[07:00] <xubuntu037> Would anyone know why adding two GPUs would make xubuntu boot to black screen?
[07:00] <xubuntu950kg> I am trying to install xubuntu on old Dell Inspiron 510m. It gets as far as NetWorkManager... stage 4 of 5 *IPv6 Configure Timeout) complete.  BUt then just says xubuntu CRON[12345]: (root) CMD ( cd /&& run-parts --reports / etc/cron.hourly) and does this every hour.  THis has gone on for around 8 hours
[09:43] <casual_boot> I would like to exclude 2 memory ranges, when booting system, but only one range is excluded when memmap= option is used on grub2 menu entry
[11:45] <xubuntu821> hi! Yesterday I installed Xubuntu 12 with start password (lightdm), later changed the start in autostart without Password! after reboot the greeter-Screen is already therem, but i can't get in, and there is no way to type the password!
[11:49] <akki2200> I m trying to update my xubuntu for kde development
[11:50] <akki2200> But when i include the debian repository it removes a lot of files  and even the xubuntu desktop
[11:51] <bekks> akki2200: thats what may happen when you include non-ubuntu repos.
[11:51] <akki2200> So what should i do?
[11:51] <bekks> Donz use debian repos.
[11:52] <Leoneof> debian repo at xubuntu(ubuntu), ummm you are messing
[11:52] <akki2200> So which one should i choose?  M newbie
[11:52] <Leoneof> akki2200: you should use ubuntu respo
[11:52] <Leoneof> repo*
[11:53] <akki2200> There isnt any on kde site like ubuntu repo
[11:53] <bekks> akki2200: then search for kde repos on launchpad.net
[11:56] <Leoneof> akki2200: just curious question, which kde-program you want to develop? :)
[11:59] <akki2200> I havent thought of it right know first i wil see how all  this works the code and all
[12:00] <akki2200> After tht i will select an app which i like
[12:01] <xubuntu821> have to solve this problem!
[12:02] <knome> xubuntu821, xubuntu 12.what?

[14:14] <henrylinux> hi, does anyone  *not* have a problem when watching anything on Twitch?
[14:14] <henrylinux> I have a relatively high CPU load
[14:15] <henrylinux> although it's all good on Youtube
[14:38] <baizon> henrylinux: it is because twitch is using flash
[14:39] <baizon> flash droped linux support, so no acceleration
[14:39] <baizon> and if you watch commercials its like watching 3 youtube video on 1080p, so it lags :(
[14:39] <Sysi> twitch in general often doesn't seem to work very well
[14:39] <henrylinux> baizon, I have gpu support installed
[14:40] <baizon> henrylinux: but flash doesnt support it
[14:40] <henrylinux> via... http://www.webupd8.org/2013/09/adobe-flash-player-hardware.html
[14:40] <baizon> so no gpu will be used
[14:40] <henrylinux> oh... ok? I don#t  fully understand but ok
[14:40] <baizon> henrylinux: well that didnt work for me
[14:41] <henrylinux> youtube shows me those intel "stats for nerds"
[14:41] <baizon> it worked for mplayer, but not flash sites
[14:41] <henrylinux> but Twitch does not
[14:42] <henrylinux> baizon, are you saying Twitch might be offering only the newer, unsupported, flash version?
[14:42] <Sysi> you could try on google chrome
[14:43] <henrylinux> it's equally bad, sort of: http://askubuntu.com/questions/413993/how-can-i-improve-the-cpu-performance-when-i-watch-something-on-twitch-in-firefo
[14:44] <baizon> henrylinux: you can try this... http://livestreamer.tanuki.se/en/latest/index.html
[14:44] <henrylinux> hm, interesting...
[14:45] <baizon> henrylinux: this will direct the stream into your video player, so hardware acceleration will work then
[14:50] <henrylinux> baizon, thanks I'll check it out
[14:53] <kRush> holy cow, that's just frickin' brilliant. cheers baizon
[15:00] <xubuntu137> hello I need urgent help, I was fiddling with my xubuntu .10 and changed the drivers (nvidia) not every time the pc goes to the xubuntu logo it freezes and a blank screen appears
[15:00] <bekks> xubuntu137: Which .10?
[15:00] <xubuntu137> 13
[15:00] <xubuntu137> i am using live cd right now
[15:01] <bekks> And what does "changed the driver (nvidia)" mean?
[15:01] <baizon> np henrylinux kRush
[15:01] <xubuntu137> you know in the software update section
[15:02] <xubuntu137> you can select multiple drivers, one of them being noveau
[15:02] <xubuntu137> I switced from I believe 304 driver to the earlier one...
[15:02] <bekks> To which earlier one?
[15:02] <bekks> !details | xubuntu137
[15:03] <henrylinux> after I pasted something into the terminal via ctrl + shift + v, how can I delete that, except with backspace?
[15:03] <bekks> henrylinux: ctrl+u
[15:04] <xubuntu137> I have no idea how I can explain any better than I Did, I switch on my pc... it does its post and boot thing, goes to the xubuntu logo.. stays for a sec and te screen goes blank, neither numlock or caps locks can be activated
[15:13] <cubed_root> xubuntu137: do you have another os on that laptop?
[15:13] <xubuntu137> no
[15:14] <xubuntu137> just using a live cd
[15:14] <xubuntu137> can I use the live cd to change my linux settings?
[15:15] <henrylinux> what's a "linux setting"?
[15:15] <cubed_root> it sounds like you might have changed a laptop/firmware setting possibly? do you have another os you can boot into?
[15:15] <cubed_root> like a live cd of another version of linux
[15:16] <bekks> xubuntu137: Which nvidia version did you install?
[15:27] <msev_> emm when I compiled the experimental code I got a few different .hex's, and I'd like to know which one is the right one is it baseflight_NAZE.hex or baseflight.hex
[15:27] <msev_> oooops wrong channel
[15:27] <msev_> sorry
[15:46] <xubuntu475> Hi guys
[16:12] <xubuntu882> hi all
[16:12] <xubuntu882> I install Xubuntu in this moment ...as I speak
[17:09] <henrylinux> Does anyone have any problems seeing content on unix.stackexchange.com by any chance?
[17:10] <bekks> Works fine here.
[17:10] <henrylinux> Any other Stack Exchange site I tested works fine  but on that particular site, I do not see any content
[17:10] <henrylinux> unless I log out
[17:10] <henrylinux> wth??
[17:10] <henrylinux> bekks, Good to know. Which browser? Do you use noscript?
[17:11] <bekks> henrylinux: firefox, chrome, IE; yes, no, no.
[17:11] <henrylinux> ok, same here
[17:12] <henrylinux> except for IE
[17:12] <henrylinux> no idea what is happening.
[17:12] <henrylinux> Ahhh no it's normal again. Nvm. Mystery solved.
[17:13] <henrylinux> *w
[17:46] <henrylinux> baizon, btw there's a guide on livestreamer on linux.com even... and it's from yesterday! http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/759951
[18:14] <nobody08> my xubuntu with Xfce Windows... operating in complete silence. no sound on starting up or shutting down.  Though the on board sound system is functioning fine, I can play video with sound. Please help..
[19:57] <xubuntu197> Hi guys
[19:57] <xubuntu197> I need some help
[19:58] <xubuntu197> just upgrade to 13.10 from 13.4
[19:58] <knome> xubuntu197, just ask, and if somebody is able to help, they most probably will
[19:59] <xubuntu197> seems something is runnig but after login I got stuck with a blue screen (not M$)
[20:00] <xubuntu197> loggin in with terminal i erase the .cache /sessions
[20:01] <xubuntu197> as suggested in some forum
[20:01] <xubuntu197> did not help
[20:01] <xubuntu197> any idea ?
[20:11] <Aleksander> I'd like to install Ubuntu 13.10 on a LUKS/LVM prepared by myself, is there a simple way to configure newly-installed kernel to decrypt the root partition during boot?
[20:12] <Unit193> cryptsetup in the initramfs?
[20:12] <Aleksander> Unit193, will it automatically create crypttab etc?
[20:13] <Unit193> "Prepared by myself" before getting to the installer?  The installer supports creating encrypted LVMs.
[20:14] <Aleksander> Unit193, okay, but I'd like to have one partition more than xUbuntu on my LVM
[20:14] <Aleksander> ano no swap
[20:16] <Unit193> OK, well you can do custom partitions in the installer, should be able to do custom+LUKS.  I've not any with custom partitions and cryptsetup myself, but I don't see why not.
[21:30] <xubuntu076> Could anyone provide a link on how to make a bootable usb for xubuntu? Haven't been able to find installation instructions for it. Any help would be much appreciated :)
[21:32] <pod> Don't have a link. But you can use this program: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[21:33] <pod> I think you can download xubuntu through the program otherwise you can download the xubuntu image file from xubuntu.org
[21:33] <Unit193> !usb
[21:33] <xubuntu076> Yum
[21:33] <xubuntu076> thanks for the info :D
[21:34] <Unit193> !yum | ;
[21:34] <Unit193> Bah..
[21:35] <xubuntu076> lol
[21:43] <iam> Hello
[21:44] <iam> i am currently trying to install xubuntu 13.10 on my netbook. I already have windows, so i made a partition on my hard drive to install xubuntu on
[21:44] <iam> when i go to other installation type, the partiton doesn't show up
[21:45] <iam> it only shows "/dev/sda"
[21:46] <iam> how do i fix this?
[21:46] <Unit193> There should be an option to install "Along side" of windows, or hit up "Manual partitioning" if not.
[21:47] <iam> there's only the option to "Erase disk and install xubuntu" and "Something else"
[21:47] <iam> i clicked something else, but the separate partitions aren't appearing
[21:47] <iam> it only shows the whole hard drive
[21:48] <iam> the '+', '-' and "Change" buttons don't do anything wither
[21:48] <iam> either*
[21:48] <iam> even when i have the hard drive selected
[21:49] <iam> Everything was showing up and working normally before i made the partition
[21:49] <iam> Maybe there's something wrong with the partition?
[21:50] <iam> It seemed ok when i opened it in windows though
[21:50] <Unit193> Open up gparted from the Settings Manager.
[21:51] <iam> i don't have gparted installed on xubuntu
[21:52] <iam> I was using AOMEI
[21:52] <iam> on windows 7
[21:53] <iam> wait...
[21:53] <iam> nevermind
[21:53]  * iam was searching for it, but it was in setting manager
[21:53] <iam> like you said :P
[21:53] <iam> Unit193, now what?
[21:54] <iam> it's showing my whole hard drive as "unallocated"
[21:54] <Unit193> Well...
[21:54] <Unit193> There's the problem. :P
[21:54] <iam> hmm...
[21:55]  * iam wonders if this problem is fixable
[21:56] <iam> brb, dinner time
[22:11] <iam> back
[22:15] <iam> Unit193, do you know how do fix this?
[22:16] <iam> :/
[22:16] <Unit193> Windows detects it fine or no?
[22:17] <iam> Windows detects it fine
[22:17] <iam> hmm...
[22:17]  * iam boots windows
[22:17] <iam> maybe i can fix the problem from there,
[22:20] <iam> hmmmmmm
[22:21] <iam> it says there are 4 hard drive disks
[22:21] <iam> local disk C: Recovery D: Local Disk :E and Local disk G:
[22:22] <iam> Local Disk C: is 148GB and has 1.3GB left, and Local Disk G: is 73GB and has 73gb free
[22:22] <iam> could the space left on local disk C: be affecting xubuntu?
[22:23] <iam> effecting*
[22:23] <Sysi> did you (accidentally) convert your disc to dynamic disk or gpt?
[22:24] <iam> i'm not sure, how do i check?
[22:24] <Sysi> windows disk utility should tell
[22:25] <iam> it says it's NTFS
[22:25] <iam> the partition is also NTFS
[22:25] <Sysi> the disk, not partition
[22:25] <iam> everything is NTFS >_>
[22:25] <iam> oh
[22:25] <Sysi> it's mbr, gpt(guid) or dynamic
[22:26] <iam> i have no idea how to check it
[22:26] <iam> right now i'm in Computer management -> Disk management
[22:28] <Sysi> under "Disc 0" does it say "Basic"?
[22:28] <iam> Yes
[22:28] <iam> Basic/232GB/Online
[22:29] <Sysi> if you right-click, is there an option like convert to something?
[22:29] <iam> there's "Offline/Properties/Help
[22:29] <iam> "
[22:30] <iam> Under partition style it says "MBR"
[22:30] <Sysi> it should be fine then
[22:30] <iam> weird
[22:30] <iam> it isn't fine though :/
[22:33] <iam> in AOMEI, it's showing another partition called *
[22:33] <iam> which is 200MB
[22:33] <iam> and it's status is "System"
[22:33] <iam> C: is "Boot"
[22:33] <iam> and all the other ones are "None"
[22:35] <iam> i'll try installing again
[22:38] <iam> On windows it says "Could not connect to network drives"
[22:38] <iam> does this mean anything?
[22:38] <iam> is this the reason nothing is working <_<
[22:40]  * iam blames windows
[22:43] <iam> xubuntu is taking longer to boot up than before
[22:44]  * iam crosses fingers
[22:44]  * iam stares at Sysi and tells him to cross his fingers too
[22:45] <iam> it didn't work
[22:45] <iam> noooooooo
[22:45]  * iam jumps out windows
[22:57] <imcnanie> Hi guys, I have an asus laptop with uefi running xubuntu 13.10, but my fan control is always on high
[22:58] <imcnanie> I think it might have something to do with uefi, pwmconfig wont work
[23:00] <bekks> imcnanie: uefi has nothing to do with the fan control.
[23:01] <imcnanie> okay, but pwmconfig is saying there are no fan-capable sensor modules installed
[23:01] <imcnanie> even after running fancontrol
[23:03] <jarkko> can kwin or similar capture keyboard that it cant be used on fullscreen game?
[23:05] <imcnanie> bekks: how can I get pwmconfig to recognize my fans?
[23:05] <bekks> imcnanie: I never used pwmconfig, sorry.
[23:06] <imcnanie> bekks: are there any other ways to get the fan to work?
[23:06] <bekks> imcnanie: I dont know, since my fans always worked fine.
[23:07] <imcnanie> okay
[23:22] <synek> hi
[23:23] <synek> ive just installed xubuntu on virtual box. allocated 8GB disk size, 4GB RAM
[23:24] <synek> ive ran out of disk space very fast
[23:24] <synek> and i see /run/shm eating 2GB of space
[23:24] <synek> how can i disable it?
[23:26] <brainwash_> synek: in use?
[23:27] <synek> almost 0
[23:27] <brainwash_> so it's fine
[23:27] <synek> ive read around the web i shoud not be aware of it
[23:27] <synek> but when i df -h
[23:27] <synek> i see / is max 3.9GB
[23:27] <synek> and when i sum up everything
[23:28] <synek> it makes 8GB
[23:28] <synek> where / is 3.9 GB
[23:28] <synek> and /dev another 2
[23:28] <synek> and /run/shm 2
[23:29] <brainwash_> those are temporary file systems located in your RAM
[23:30] <brainwash_> the in use size should be minimal
[23:30] <brainwash_> max size is related to your RAM size
[23:32] <synek> i see but

[23:41] <bazhang> patience ineedhelp
[23:41] <ineedhelp> its truw
[23:41] <ineedhelp> its true
[23:41] <brainwash_> ineedhelp: login via console does work, right? press ctrl + alt + f1 to switch to the console (tty1)
[23:41] <ineedhelp> idk i tried but what is my username
[23:42] <ineedhelp> if it is my name that it says when i log on no it says error wrong something
[23:42] <brainwash_> well, only you know that
[23:43] <knome> ineedhelp, it's not the "real name" that's shown; you have set the username when installing xubuntu
[23:43] <knome> Navz, what's your problem?
[23:43] <ineedhelp> hm how can i tell
[23:43] <gry> Navz, hi.
[23:43] <gry> Navz, 2 physical monitors?
[23:43] <ineedhelp> can i look?
[23:43] <Navz> yeah
[23:43] <ineedhelp> in like my folders and tell?
[23:44] <Navz> i want the one on my netbook to be the main one
[23:44] <knome> ineedhelp, every user has a directory under /home
[23:44] <gry> ineedhelp: what knome said but I don't think you can easily see without logging in
[23:44] <Navz> but when i connect the second one, it makes the second one the main screen
[23:44] <gry> ineedhelp: (or taking out the hdd out and looking at it from a thing, such as live cd)
[23:44] <ineedhelp> THE problem is i cant to NOTHING becuase i dont have root accsess to anything
[23:45] <ineedhelp> i cant reinstall anything like xubuntu
[23:45] <ineedhelp> or windows
[23:45] <ineedhelp> im on the guest account
[23:45] <brainwash_> you could boot the live cd and start the live mode to inspect the filesystem
[23:45] <ineedhelp> i cant download or put anything on a disc
[23:45] <ineedhelp> becuase im guest account
[23:45] <Navz> i want to keep the netbook the main screen but extend the desktop to the second screen
[23:45] <ineedhelp> hit fn f4
[23:45] <gry> ineedhelp: you installed the system from something no? and guest accounts can download
[23:46] <ineedhelp> or just f4
[23:46] <brainwash_> ineedhelp: but you can open the file manager and navigate to /home, or?
[23:46] <ineedhelp> navz^
[23:46] <Navz> yo
[23:46] <ineedhelp> no i cant it says no perm
[23:47] <ineedhelp> could i make myself root on this account
[23:47] <ineedhelp> i think its my drivers
[23:47] <knome> ineedhelp, it sounds like you are confused
[23:47] <ineedhelp> see
[23:47] <ineedhelp>  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  fglrx-amdcccle-updates: Depends: fglrx-updates but it is not installed fglrx-updates-dev: Depends: fglrx-updates but it is not installed
[23:47] <brainwash_> when did you install xubuntu?
[23:48] <ineedhelp> a weekago  but it was fine until amd messed it up
[23:48] <gry> Navz: hm
[23:48] <ineedhelp> i fallowed the directions on amd
[23:48] <ineedhelp> and boom blackscreen
[23:48] <iam> I am having problems installing xubuntu 12.04 to a partition i made http://imgur.com/a/haWX7 any idea on how to fix?
[23:48] <brainwash_> and you already don't remember your username? :)
[23:48] <gry> Navz: when you plug in the second monitor, what happens? menu > settings > monitors, does it see it?
[23:49] <ineedhelp> would it be my name on the drop down menu???
[23:49] <ineedhelp> ^
[23:49] <brainwash_> in most cases no
[23:49] <ineedhelp> when login in
[23:49] <ineedhelp> dang
[23:49] <brainwash_> it shows your full name
[23:49] <ineedhelp> i think its cyberpowerpc
[23:49] <ineedhelp> lmc
[23:49] <ineedhelp> im going to log out and try that
[23:50] <gry> Navz: hi
[23:50] <gry> Navz: please don't disappear
[23:51] <gry> hm, wonder what fn+f4 did to him
[23:51] <knome> iam, it looks like you don't have any partitions, or even a partition table, created
[23:51] <iam> knome, looks can be deceiving ;)
[23:51] <iam> it senses everything on windows 7
[23:52] <knome> iam, you created an NTFS parition for your linux operating system?
[23:53] <iam> knome, i assumed i could format it later
[23:53] <iam> it was easier at the time
[23:54] <knome> it's possible the installer doesn't recognise that partition
[23:54] <iam> hmm... so the partition is the whole problem?
[23:55] <knome> it is possible. do you have any data on the disk that needs saving?
[23:55] <iam> i have windows 7 on it, so yes
[23:55] <iam> i'm going to boot to windows 7 now and look around
[23:56] <knome> iam, have you tried installing via the "try xubuntu" -mode?
[23:57] <iam> knome, yes. in Gparted it shows my entire hard drive as unallocated
[23:57] <knome> iam, i've no idea if it's installed by default, but you could make sure to install the package ntfs-3g if that had *any* effect on showing the partitions
[23:58] <iam> knome, first i'll try re-joining the partition with my main partition
[23:58] <iam> i think it was working before i partitioned it
