| AussieDownUnder | The flip, tried to drag & drop Antichamber.sh installer for a game into another folder, it took me to a wrong folder & I couldn't push esc to cancel putting it in there, I then deleted the file thinking it would of copied it there but no it moved it, now I can't find the file in the rubbish bin. Can I get it back somehow? | 00:01 |
| ddsss | @ubuttu -> I hate you | 00:01 |
| holstein | ddsss: i would install pavucontrol, and just run that and see whats going on | 00:01 |
| holstein | ddsss: please use the #xubuntu-offtopic channel for chat | 00:02 |
| holstein | AussieDownUnder: just search for the file | 00:02 |
| ddsss | holstein, kewl. thanks. let me try that. | 00:02 |
| AussieDownUnder | holstein, it's not in its original location, it's obviously not in the folder I deleted it from & it ain't in the waste bin | 00:07 |
| holstein | AussieDownUnder: sure.. just search the entire drive for it.. no one here is going to know where you happened to have accidentally lost it | 00:08 |
| holstein | AussieDownUnder: otherwise, just re-obtain, and excercise caution | 00:08 |
| ddsss | holstein, just reinstall xubunu-desktop fixed all my problems. all good:) | 00:12 |
| holstein | ddsss: cheers | 00:13 |
| ddsss | man. so glad I got an ssd - frigging xubuntu boots in 5 seconds. | 00:13 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | sounds cool | 00:14 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | You probably don't even see the plymouth splash screens. | 00:14 |
| ddsss | plymouth - what's plymouth.lol | 00:14 |
| ddsss | Poisoned_Dragon, but no - very very fast. | 00:15 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | XD | 00:15 |
| Algalon | Hey guys, anyone remember me from yesterday? Was doing my first install and joined #xubuntu from the handy IRC client in the installer. Anyway I tried to get my graphics cards setup for a while but called it a night and decided to come back later to it. I have a GTX 560 Ti and a GT610.. The 560Ti powers 2 1080p monitors and the 610 powers a single 1080p screen. I'm trying to get the nvidia drivers working but kept running into | 00:25 |
| Algalon | problems on subsequent boots and have to fix it back to working on the open source driver again.... | 00:25 |
| Algalon | I thought about foregoing the settings panel and getting the driver off the nvidia site and giving that a go. | 00:26 |
| Algalon | Does anyone have experience with setting up a multi screen setup on more than 1 card ? | 00:27 |
| holstein | sure | 00:27 |
| holstein | but, unless you talk to someone with your hardware setup, you can have a much different experience | 00:27 |
| Algalon | do you think i'm better off pulling the 610 and going down to 2 screens? | 00:28 |
| holstein | i just use arandr to setup dual head | 00:28 |
| Algalon | for the time being | 00:28 |
| fibz_ | ^ | 00:28 |
| holstein | Algalon: what operating system are you coming from? | 00:28 |
| * Algalon prepares for the wave of hate | 00:29 | |
| Algalon | 8.1 | 00:29 |
| holstein | Algalon: think about how long you used windows before doing any multi screens. and consider just taking it easy for a bit | 00:29 |
| holstein | Algalon: im talking about, what you are used to.. set me down in front of win8 and i sure i might have a hard time setting up multiple monitors.. | 00:29 |
| Algalon | true... i've run multiscreen at work & home since ~2001-2002.. 3 since '06 heh | 00:30 |
| holstein | Algalon: i would just troubleshoot each device and make sure the linux support is there... and use arandr to configure what need.. | 00:30 |
| Algalon | kk | 00:30 |
| holstein | Algalon: sure.. but, you likely didnt start on 2+ screens.. you likely used one for years | 00:31 |
| Algalon | i think i am going to start by pu lling the 610 and seeing if i can get the proprietary running | 00:31 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | To be honest, I don't think I had much issues using multi-monitor in windows. | 00:31 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | But, I don't do multi-monitor, anymore. I just don't need it. | 00:31 |
| Algalon | yeah, but 12 years old technology .... | 00:31 |
| Algalon | i mean i have 3 screens working | 00:31 |
| Algalon | but on the slow driver | 00:31 |
| Algalon | problem is switching to the proprietary | 00:31 |
| holstein | sure.. and the hardware doesnt promise you linux support | 00:31 |
| Algalon | indeed | 00:32 |
| holstein | Algalon: you may not get "better" results from the proprietary one | 00:32 |
| Algalon | unless the open source one has caught up recently for steam the proprietary one is faster than windows in some source benchmarks | 00:32 |
| Algalon | opengl instead of directx but still great performance | 00:33 |
| holstein | Algalon: im just being realistic.. it depends on your specific hardare | 00:33 |
| holstein | hardware* | 00:33 |
| fibz_ | and i havent run nvidia since the debut of the FX line | 00:34 |
| Algalon | pulled the 610 and did a clean install, switch to the binary driver and now it's running great. down to 2 monitors.. may look for a 3 digital output video card.. | 03:10 |

| Sport | recently made switch from windows to xubuntu on an old laptop (nonPAE), installed 12.04, can I now update to latest on my nonPAE laptop or will that still not work for me? | 05:44 |
| kindebuhds | Sport, it does not seem so ref: http://askubuntu.com/questions/117744/how-can-i-install-on-a-non-pae-cpu-error-kernel-requires-features-not-present | 05:50 |
| Sport | Thanks kindebuhds - I had read conflicting articles on the possibility of installing 12.04 (nonPAE) and then once installed updating to 13.10. It' an old Pentium M laptop. | 05:53 |
| kindebuhds | i see what you mean also found http://zo0ok.com/techfindings/archives/1098 say he went from 13.04 with fakepae and upgrade successfuly | 05:58 |
| Sport | Thanks for that article, reading it now. One of the few I missed apparently. Cheers. | 06:05 |

| TonyTate | Hello Guys. I'm trying to install xubuntu in my new laptop follwing the instructions in the UEFI page of helpUbuntu. When I try to "try xubuntu without installing" (step 3). It stops booting with the last message shown being: starting configure virtual network devices. | 14:01 |
| TonyTate | Anyone can help me out? | 14:01 |
| GridCube | TonyTate, let me see | 14:13 |
| GridCube | mmm internet doesnt show me any reason why it should fail | 14:15 |
| TonyTate | I think I have to boot with nomodeset and noapic | 14:15 |
| GridCube | but at this level the issue is hardly on the xubuntu's part of the forest, you probably will get better answers asking on #ubuntu | 14:15 |
| TonyTate | Yeah, thanks. | 14:15 |
| GridCube | you can still wait here if you want, im sure eventually someone will be able to help you TonyTate | 14:16 |
| TonyTate | Yeah, I'm googling hard to see if I can work it out. | 14:17 |
| Capprentice | Is it possible to use Desktop Cube effects on Xubuntu ?1 | 14:56 |

| GridCube | !patience | 15:01 |
| Capprentice | Where are the friggin peoples ?!! | 15:01 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 15:01 |
| GridCube | !compiz | 15:01 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 15:01 |
| Capprentice | Im out of Patience ! | 15:01 |
| GridCube | Capprentice, compiz is not actually fully supported anymore | 15:01 |
| GridCube | if you want to use compiz you will have to find your own way to use it | 15:02 |
| Capprentice | Thats why Im looking for some one to ask about KWIN ! Is it possible to use KWIN in XFCE ? | 15:02 |
| Capprentice | I know I should have chosen KDE :\ | 15:02 |
| cfhowlett | Capprentice, ! ask the xfce channel! or look at www.xfce.org! | 15:02 |
| Capprentice | Whoa ! You are here too ! cfhowlett | 15:03 |
| GridCube | Capprentice, we are not here to serve you, if you change your attitude and ask properly we might know how to help you | 15:03 |
| Capprentice | @_@ | 15:03 |
| GridCube | else i don't see why anyone would bother | 15:03 |
| cfhowlett | ^^^^ agreed. | 15:03 |
| Capprentice | I was just kidding...no hard feelings ... | 15:03 |
| Capprentice | :) | 15:03 |
| cfhowlett | Capprentice, wasn't funny earlier today, still not funny now. | 15:04 |
| Capprentice | Getting bored...so thought do some stupid things...I respect you all. | 15:04 |
| GridCube | Capprentice, then ask a proper question, explain what you want todo, what you did, what you expect to happen, and why you think is not happening | 15:04 |
| Capprentice | Okay I have tried to use Compiz Destop Cube thing reading this guide from here - | 15:06 |
| Capprentice | http://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Compiz_and_Emerald | 15:06 |
| Capprentice | But that resulted in system crash. | 15:06 |
| Capprentice | I always kicked out of the GUI to tty konsole | 15:07 |
| Capprentice | Is there a need for x64 bit system or more than 2GB ram to run Compiz ? | 15:08 |
| cfhowlett | Capprentice, more graphics and eye candy means more demand on ram - and 2 gigs is pretty minimal already. | 15:09 |
| Capprentice | I could not find the link now, but I have watched some videos on this as well. Can any one point me to a guide which can exlpain every step on how to do! what to do..and | 15:09 |
| peyam | my xubuntu is using 900 Mb on idle | 15:09 |

| Capprentice | I have 2 GB on my Laptop where I run Xubuntu and some others and On Dektop I have 4 GB (Windows , Ubuntu and Fedora :P) | 15:10 |
| peyam | I gues it has something to do with video driver.. it uses ram | 15:10 |
| peyam | I have 8 on my desktop | 15:11 |
| peyam | running like a rocket | 15:11 |
| Capprentice | No Idea. though I like to keep my Lubuntu clean, but effects like Desktop Cude, Wooby Windows would be nice to have | 15:11 |
| peyam | btw. I found a solution for installing menulibre in 13.10 | 15:11 |

| peyam | koegs, what window decoration? go in to setting manager > windows tweak manager | 15:20 |
| koegs | peyam: mostly the "titlebar" which you can grap to move a window | 15:21 |
| === SirLagz_ is now known as SirLagz | ||
| peyam | I dodnt know. look at window manager! or use a minimalistic theme like prelunde-drf-0.5 | 15:21 |
| peyam | in xfce-look | 15:21 |
| peyam | and out the font size to 0 | 15:22 |
