[02:36] xubuntu945: maybe you should stop being rude and read what was said [02:36] I wasnt being rude ok? [02:37] xubuntu945, there's no root account [02:37] im just pissed because i cant do nothing on my pc without root access the admin account cant be logged into just the guest [02:37] xubuntu945, unless you explicitly enable it [02:37] the account that has sudo doesnt work and on the guest i type sudo i have no perm [02:38] !work | xubuntu945 [02:38] xubuntu945: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [02:38] i said why it doesnt work [02:39] why not [02:39] how would i know why it doesnt work i told you what it does thats why i came here for support and how to fix it [02:39] xubuntu945: is this a fresh install? did you do something that caused the issue?

[03:49] hey xubuntu037 [03:49] Can anyone help a first time user install xubuntu? [03:49] !install|xubuntu037, [03:49] xubuntu037,: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - See also !automate [03:51] xubuntu037: what are you thinkng of installing it on? [03:51] 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] it's pretty straightforward on a pc, mac's are pretty tough [03:51] i think those are just minor updates [03:52] the version (eg 12.03) doesn't change i believe [03:52] im on 13.10 [03:52] ... until there's a major update [03:52] yea, i think it will be 13.10 for a few months [03:52] if i'm wrong someone please chime in but i think new releases are every 6 months? [03:53] so, each time I click suofware updater, its a new package that's downloading? [03:53] software [03:53] 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] that popup that says it has some updates? (i usually see firefox and a few other apps in there) [03:53] cubed_root, correctomundo - but you COULD just choose the Long Term Support version for 5 years of support [03:53] thanks cfhowlett [03:54] sorry for the dumb question, i think its just updating more stuff. Thanks for the input! [03:55] xubuntu037: *you* are updating "stuff", using the update tool [03:56] well, technically its doing it but hey semantics... [03:56] xubuntu037: i had the same question 3 weeks ago [03:56] xubuntu037: that was a technical rephrasing.. you have instigated the upate [03:56] update* [03:57] yo comprendo. I was just poking you. Im just thankful for someone to answer my questions [04:04] are there any particularly active linux rooms out there? [04:05] 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] 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] cubed_root: the offtopic channels might be more active for just chatting.. like #xubuntu-offtopic or the #ubuntu-offtopic one [04:11] thanks holstein [04:11] will check 'em out [04:54] 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] i would think that if its installed, that it wouldn't want to update it again [04:56] xubuntu037, I suspect you did NOT in fact install the first time ... unless you did some strange kind of reinstall updates command [05:04] 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] check for updates again and same things are there to install [05:05] xubuntu037, are you installed to the HDD or what? [05:06] I've just installed from a 16gb thumb drive, configured as an install disk [05:06] I have another 16gb thumb drive as well [05:06] xubuntu037, and you're now booting from the HDD - NOT the thumb? [05:13] I used Unetbootin on one USB drive as installation disk to install on second usb drive.

[14:14] I have a relatively high CPU load [14:15] although it's all good on Youtube === casual_boot_ is now known as casual_boot [14:38] henrylinux: it is because twitch is using flash [14:39] flash droped linux support, so no acceleration [14:39] and if you watch commercials its like watching 3 youtube video on 1080p, so it lags :( [14:39] twitch in general often doesn't seem to work very well [14:39] baizon, I have gpu support installed [14:40] henrylinux: but flash doesnt support it [14:40] via... http://www.webupd8.org/2013/09/adobe-flash-player-hardware.html [14:40] so no gpu will be used [14:40] oh... ok?

[20:12] cryptsetup in the initramfs? [20:12] Unit193, will it automatically create crypttab etc? [20:13] "Prepared by myself" before getting to the installer? The installer supports creating encrypted LVMs. [20:14] Unit193, okay, but I'd like to have one partition more than xUbuntu on my LVM [20:14] ano no swap [20:16] OK, well you can do custom partitions in the installer, should be able to do custom+LUKS.

[21:34] Bah.. [21:35] lol [21:43] Hello [21:44] 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] when i go to other installation type, the partiton doesn't show up [21:45] it only shows "/dev/sda" [21:46] how do i fix this? [21:46] There should be an option to install "Along side" of windows, or hit up "Manual partitioning" if not. [21:47] there's only the option to "Erase disk and install xubuntu" and "Something else" [21:47] i clicked something else, but the separate partitions aren't appearing [21:47] it only shows the whole hard drive [21:48] the '+', '-' and "Change" buttons don't do anything wither [21:48] either* [21:48] even when i have the hard drive selected [21:49] Everything was showing up and working normally before i made the partition [21:49] Maybe there's something wrong with the partition? [21:50] It seemed ok when i opened it in windows though [21:50] Open up gparted from the Settings Manager. [21:51] i don't have gparted installed on xubuntu [21:52] I was using AOMEI [21:52] on windows 7 [21:53] wait... [21:53] nevermind [21:53] * iam was searching for it, but it was in setting manager [21:53] like you said :P [21:53] Unit193, now what? [21:54] it's showing my whole hard drive as "unallocated" [21:54] Well... [21:54] There's the problem. :P [21:54] hmm... [21:55] * iam wonders if this problem is fixable [21:56] brb, dinner time === iam is now known as iam[A] === iam[A] is now known as iam [22:11] back [22:15] Unit193, do you know how do fix this? [22:16] :/ [22:16] Windows detects it fine or no? [22:17] Windows detects it fine [22:17] hmm... [22:17] * iam boots windows [22:17] maybe i can fix the problem from there, [22:20] hmmmmmm [22:21] it says there are 4 hard drive disks [22:21] local disk C: Recovery D: Local Disk :E and Local disk G: [22:22] Local Disk C: is 148GB and has 1.3GB left, and Local Disk G: is 73GB and has 73gb free [22:22] could the space left on local disk C: be affecting xubuntu? [22:23] effecting* [22:23] did you (accidentally) convert your disc to dynamic disk or gpt? [22:24] i'm not sure, how do i check? [22:24] windows disk utility should tell [22:25] it says it's NTFS [22:25] the partition is also NTFS [22:25] the disk, not partition [22:25] everything is NTFS >_> [22:25] oh [22:25] it's mbr, gpt(guid) or dynamic [22:26] i have no idea how to check it [22:26] right now i'm in Computer management -> Disk management [22:28] under "Disc 0" does it say "Basic"? [22:28] Yes [22:28] Basic/232GB/Online [22:29] if you right-click, is there an option like convert to something? [22:29] there's "Offline/Properties/Help [22:29] " [22:30] Under partition style it says "MBR" [22:30] it should be fine then [22:30] weird [22:30] it isn't fine though :/ [22:33] in AOMEI, it's showing another partition called * [22:33] which is 200MB [22:33] and it's status is "System" [22:33] C: is "Boot" [22:33] and all the other ones are "None" [22:35] i'll try installing again [22:38] On windows it says "Could not connect to network drives" [22:38] does this mean anything? [22:38] is this the reason nothing is working <_< [22:40] * iam blames windows [22:43] 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] it didn't work [22:45] noooooooo [22:45] * iam jumps out windows [22:57] Hi guys, I have an asus laptop with uefi running xubuntu 13.10, but my fan control is always on high [22:58] I think it might have something to do with uefi, pwmconfig wont work [23:00] imcnanie: uefi has nothing to do with the fan control.
