| knome | added some things in the xubuntu team calendar | 03:00 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | if anything weird pops up (like finnish events), let me know | 03:00 |
| knome | i'm trying out lightning with thunderbird for calendar stuff | 03:00 |
| knome | elfy, pling | 10:58 |
| knome | elfy, 12.04.5? | 10:58 |
| elfy | bah | 11:01 |
| elfy | don't see the point personally - would prefer to get people moved to 14.04 :) | 11:01 |
| knome | well some people can't (no PAE support) | 11:01 |
| elfy | then they really need to be thinking seriously - and a few months of extra support is probably a cushion they shouldn't rely on having | 11:03 |
| knome | well it's not even extra support really | 11:03 |
| knome | and it doesn't really affect existing installations | 11:03 |
| knome | .5 is just an updated installation media | 11:04 |
| knome | (basically) | 11:04 |
| knome | the updates will pretty much land in 12.04 anyway for users why have a system installed | 11:04 |
| elfy | that they'd have anyway by updating? | 11:04 |
| knome | (unless they don't update their systems, which isn't really a good idea either) | 11:04 |
| elfy | because if that's the case I really don't see the point in 3 or 4 people running round to test a point release for that | 11:05 |
| elfy | if people don't update their systems then ... | 11:05 |
| knome | that's a fair point of view | 11:05 |
| knome | the other fair one is that by that time, 14.04 is out | 11:05 |
| knome | so there's no reason to choose the other LTS unless you 1) don't have PAE support 2) you have a really old machine with so low specs that it can only run 12.04 but not 14.04 | 11:06 |
| elfy | posted to the list again | 11:06 |
| * elfy is writing a thing for the blog | 11:12 | |
| knome | goodie | 11:12 |
| elfy | you haven't read the draft yet :p | 11:13 |
| knome | hah | 11:13 |
| elfy | "That QA guy KEEPS telling us to report things" | 11:18 |
| elfy | knome - any reason why the http://xubuntu.org/contribute/ link to this channel trys to do so with Mibbit? wouldn't freenode chat be better? | 11:49 |
| elfy | knome: have a look when you've got 10 minutes | 12:14 |
| Mudkitty | Hi New Ubuntu user here. Wish I had started using it long ago! | 13:22 |
| Mudkitty | I have been programming for some time now but in VB6, VB.NET along with other Microshaft apps | 13:24 |
| damiank | guys i'm a bit desperate: i just lost my job. If any of you needs a web designer/php coder please send me a private msg. I can work remotely. Thanks! Here situation is really bad... | 13:24 |
| damiank | elfy: i just downloaded iso, will try later today | 13:25 |
| Mudkitty | Damiank, I am in south Florida. Will keep my eyes and ears open down here for you and I wish you best of luck! | 13:26 |
| damiank | Mudkitty thanks! i'm in Argentina, but i can work remotely | 13:28 |
| knome | elfy, well they are irc:// links | 13:28 |
| Mudkitty | www.indeed.com/q-Web-Developer-l-Florida-jobs.html‎ is a good site to check out | 13:31 |
| damiank | Mudkitty thanks! | 13:32 |
| elfy | knome: yea - but is freenode allowing mibbit now? not looked for an age - at one point it didn't work | 13:34 |
| schproodle | Trusty Daily appears to be unchanged from yesterday. Any point in testing? | 14:06 |
| schproodle | According to zsync anyway | 14:06 |
| schproodle | and looking inside the iso -- date o7 | 14:08 |
| schproodle | 07 February for version 20140208 | 14:09 |
| schproodle | RE Trusty Daily above -- My error -- need to use 'current' instead of 'Version' in zsync command | 15:38 |
| schproodle | That is version number e.g., 20140208 | 15:39 |
| schproodle | Is there a way to get a larger display resolution for xubuntu in vbox -- rebooting the vm after installation seems to default to 640.480 | 17:16 |
| knome | schproodle, install the guest additions | 17:18 |
| schproodle | knome, this one? guest additions iso image for VirtualBox from synaptic ? | 17:22 |
| knome | schproodle, check the media menu. | 17:23 |
| schproodle | knome, a 'media menu' in vbox? | 17:25 |
| knome | schproodle, when you are running the virtual machine, you have the menu to attach/remove media, like cd-roms | 17:27 |
| knome | schproodle, check that menu, it has an item to install the guest additions | 17:27 |
| schproodle | knome, the package available from repository: virtualbox-guest-additions.iso N.B. "The guest | 17:27 |
| schproodle | systems then can mount the iso and install the guest additions from there." | 17:27 |
| knome | schproodle, that's one option, but vbox can make one more step automatically. | 17:27 |
| schproodle | knome, while running, OK | 17:28 |
| knome | you are free to do it either way, but will end up with the same result | 17:28 |
| schproodle | knome, under Devices it has "Install guest additions" Host-d | 17:31 |
| knome | that's it,. | 17:31 |
| schproodle | knome. dont need the package? | 17:31 |
| knome | schproodle, no. | 17:31 |
| schproodle | okeeleedokeelee :) ... | 17:32 |
| schproodle | knome, vbox has its own world eh | 17:32 |
| schproodle | knome, does that need to be done for each vm? | 17:34 |
| knome | yep. | 17:34 |
| knome | schproodle, though it will only need to fetch the ISO once. | 17:34 |
| schproodle | knome, Forgive me. What does it do? Still have low resolution. | 17:37 |
| knome | schproodle, once you've downloaded the iso, mount it and run the VBoxLinuxAdditions.run file from the media | 17:37 |
| schproodle | knome, voxaddtion cd is on the desktop | 17:37 |
| schproodle | knome, Done. What needs to done next to increaser resolution. I have rebooted the vm. | 17:46 |
| knome | schproodle, whatever you'd usually do to increase the resolution. | 17:48 |
| schproodle | knome, xubuntu settings manager for display is fixed at 640x480. Must I do something in vbox? | 17:50 |
| schproodle | knome, I gave the vm for video memory. | 17:51 |
| knome | sorry, but i need to focus on something else. try asking in #vbox | 17:52 |
| schproodle | knome, Thanks | 17:54 |
| elfy | dashing in and out but, schproodle - you should just be able to resize the vbox window and it will autoresize now | 18:04 |
| elfy | if it doesn't then it's not installed properly | 18:04 |
| schproodle | elfy, the compilation fo the guest stuff seems to have failed -- no kernel headers | 18:12 |
| schproodle | elfy, auto resize is greyed out on the vm view menu | 18:13 |
| schproodle | elfy, I will try to install kernel headers eh | 18:13 |
| schproodle | elfy, headers are already installed on vm running 14.04 | 18:15 |
| schproodle | elfy, I suppose installation of guest additions might not be working for 14.04 | 18:21 |
| elfy | schproodle: I get the same error about headers, it still works for me in 1404, I tend to install them from /media | 18:42 |
| elfy | not really here | 18:42 |
| knome | bbl -> | 18:52 |
| * pmjdebruijn had the whiskermenu icon going black bug | 19:00 | |
| schproodle | elfy, Ate some lunch. Now it works eh. ;) | 19:15 |
| brainwash | pmjdebruijn: you should bump the upstream bug report :) | 19:18 |
| schproodle | elfy, not autoresize but bigger default. | 19:20 |
| Unit193 | knome: You can also install from jockey. | 21:18 |

| brainwash | "Xubuntu Developers does not use Launchpad." | 22:51 |
| knome | ;) | 22:51 |
| knome | that's not really the right team | 22:51 |
| brainwash | so is this a valid package maintainer? | 22:51 |
| knome | -dev is. | 22:51 |
| brainwash | see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-terminal | 22:52 |
| brainwash | just noticed that | 22:52 |
| knome | sure. | 22:52 |
| knome | just a mistake probably. | 22:52 |
| knome | should be xubuntu-dev | 22:52 |
| brainwash | should it be changed? :D | 22:53 |
| knome | probably | 22:54 |
| Unit193 | knome: It's because of the email, merge it into something else if you can. | 22:55 |
| knome | seems i can't | 22:56 |
