[00:26] Hey guys, I have a question about xubuntu, so when i set it up from a usb how do i make it install to my hdd instead of flash drive [00:29] hello? [01:18] during the install it will ask where and how you want to setup ubuntu [01:22] jakesyl, as fibz_ said, when installing, choose to select where to install yourself, there you can choose whatever disk or partition you want [01:29] okay, i'll try this once i finish downloading ubuntu [01:29] 'i was using xubuntu before [01:31] for future refrence, you dont have to download a whole new ISO, you can convert your *buntu into any version of *buntu from software center or from terminal [01:31] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [02:58] how do i play a blueray dvd [03:05] hello guys, does xubuntu have a kyosk mode or user lockdown, trying to setup one in a LTSP environment. [03:20] PhoenixSTF: i read that it did.. i personally havent found a workable environment for that since gnome2 [03:20] PhoenixSTF: im sure its something im just not doing properly.. [03:22] holstein, I heard about pessulus but I do not knwo if it will work on xfce [03:23] cant you just create a limited account, remove the panels, remove keyboard shortcuts and use a whitelist for URLs? [03:25] urls are not the issue [03:25] what are we trying to lock down? [03:25] the issue is several groups and not all can open alll the programs [03:26] ie, software center, programming IDE, math programs, etc [03:26] so you can have students [03:26] and teachers [03:26] and investigators [03:26] and just normal working personnel [03:28] i ended up trying readonly file systems [03:28] something like this? http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/36845/the-beginners-guide-to-managing-users-and-groups-in-linux/ [03:30] its not like pessulus was though [03:30] well it is something [03:30] i mean, you can do it.. its alll open [03:31] kiosk mode? [03:31] pessulus was only for gnome, and sure you can do it, or even fabricate a program to fill your needs [03:31] I wonder if greek schools have something [03:32] i say bundle app permissions to individual groups and create a custom menu file for each user type (student, teacher, investigator) [03:32] greek schools have nanny [03:35] anyway it is for a LTSP setup, I will figure something out [03:35] thanks guys [06:13] what is the min requirements for Xubuntu, a P4? [06:15] a Pentium Pro with at least 256RAM (the more RAM, the better) [06:16] you can get away with less RAM but i wouldnt recommend it [06:17] can you use it for daily usage with that low of a cpu? [06:18] or is it just installing for the sake of installing it [06:19] sure if it's daily use is something simple [06:20] but a P4 would of coarse be preferable [06:20] over a P1 [06:20] is it true that Firefox need a min P4 now-a-days? [06:21] i have it running on a P3 and a Duron right now [06:21] 900mhz [06:21] oh [06:21] I'd not go less than 1G of ram, personally. [06:21] ^ [06:23] duron is running fine with 640MB, but flash and javascript bog it down pretty good [06:28] it says P4 for windows [06:28] http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/27.0.1/system-requirements/ [06:28] but nothing for linux, why is that? [06:30] I'd not do FF on 256, I'd use a smaller browser (personally like xombrero.) === kRush_ is now known as kRush === IdleOne- is now known as IdleOne [13:19] Does anyone have first hand knowledge of whether or not Xubuntu will work well with an AMD A10 APU in crossfire mode? [13:21] lokote_jones, thats a rather specific question and i very much doubt anyone would [13:21] lokote_jones, I would try to test a live session on it [13:22] GridCube: Sorry. I was just planning on upgrading to a new PC and have my eyes on the AMD APU as a potential kit; but no access to the hardware locally. Thank you though. I might try a web forum or reddit. I'm just worried about the driver compatability since it isn't "Nividdya" [13:23] lokote_jones, maybe this will guide you to some relevant information http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTYxNjM [13:23] GridCube: Thank you. === Ninja is now known as Guest75806 === phunyguy_ is now known as phunyguy [16:09] how should i check and install wifi driver? [16:10] saurabhGupta: depends on many things [16:10] !wifi [16:10] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [16:10] Using the Additional Drivers tool in the Settings Manager if you have a LAN connection, or checking the chipset and looking up (or saying here) what you have. [16:11] lspci, that is, to look up the device. [16:13] Unit193, I have LAN connection. Running lspci gave me Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) wifi card. [16:14] Unit193, Additional Drivers not showing anything. [16:14] Really? That makes me sad now. [16:14] !bcm [16:14] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [16:15] there is a lp-phy one [16:16] !info firmware-b43-lpphy-installer [16:16] Package firmware-b43-lpphy-installer does not exist in saucy [16:16] well, thats what i think it was called, at least.. you can search a package manager for "lp-phy" and see what is available [17:20] hi [17:20] any one can help me with my 3D acceleration ? please [17:21] orp: it'll be driver related likely.. are you using any proprietary optional drivers if available? if not, try them [17:22] yes [17:22] orp: did you try the open driver as well? [17:22] yes [17:22] it don't work [17:23] i would confirm you are loading the module you think you are and elaborate about how you are determining its "not working" [17:23] this one is working [17:23] orp: ? [17:23] orp: so, whats the issue? [17:23] but the resulotion don't have all options [17:23] GeForce 8200M G/integrated/SSE2 [17:23] orp: it may not.. i use a custom xorg.conf on an nvidia card i have [17:24] ok [17:24] you can also try arandr [17:24] no [17:25] but the one on xfce should work ? [17:25] orp: you should try arandr, and consider a custom xorg.conf [17:26] ok [17:26] how can i get info to do that ? [17:27] i used knoppix live, configured, and grabbed the xorg.conf from there [17:27] !xorg [17:27] The X Window system is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[17:28] good day. I have an AMD 64 3800+ PC. this is a CPU that was releaced in 2006. Should i run the 64bit or 32bit XUBUNTU 12.0.4 LTS os? A while back, 32bit was always recomended as more compatable. is that still true? [17:29] ok [17:31] my laptop is this one [17:31] http://www.msi.com/product/nb/CR700.html#?div=Specification [17:31] is really a pain to config [17:32] i start with nomodset [17:36] orp: it can be challenging, for sure [17:36] yes [17:36] xubuntu775: how much ram? [17:36] I wil do it [17:36] 4Gb [17:36] I am runing 64bit [17:37] and the driver is nvidia-319 [17:38] orp: ideally, nvidia would be helping you with this... since its their driver [17:38] i have 2gb ram [17:38] orp: you can try adding the ppa that steam suggesti [17:38] !steam [17:38] Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. [17:38] old PC i am giving to father. [17:38] xubuntu775: i would do 32bit with 2 gigs of ram [17:38] ok, thats what i installed. [17:41] do you know if now that 64bit CPUs have been out for several years, is the software for 64bit still buggy mor so than the 32bit software? [17:43] yes [17:43] i just trying [17:43] xubuntu775: no.. its not more buggy [17:43] xubuntu775: its a matter of the ram that i make the decision [17:43] but there are many software just to 64bit [17:43] im just asking because at some point down the road, i may upgrade the PC to 4GB ram so maybe installing 54bit now is better so i don't ahve to rebuild PC later. [17:43] xubuntu775: its a non-issue [17:44] i am aware of the 4GB ram limit on 32bit os. [17:44] xubuntu775: do which ever you like [17:44] ok, thanks [17:44] If your CPU is 64bit, install 64bit. [17:44] xubuntu775: there is a pae kernel to address the 4gb limit [17:44] And using PAE, there is no 4GB RAM limit. [17:44] you can run 32bit software in 64bit [17:44] 64bit is stable, and works great [17:44] oh. i wasn't aware of that one. [17:45] if i had 32bit installed, depending on what i was doing, i may not bother reinstalling 64bit if i wanted it [17:45] that is, i didn't know of the PAE. [17:46] !pae [17:46] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [17:46] i just did the install on 32bit yesterday and it seems to be working fine for a CPU from 2006. [17:46] not the fastest but stable [17:46] sure.. both work fine.. neither make the hardware faster [17:48] yeah, not thinking the hardware would work faster -- just wondering if i am limiting some resources from the CPU that could be used later but more than likely not. The PC will be used mostly for Pogo.com :-) [17:50] i am following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization, and once i chroot to the "new build" and run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, or try apt-get purge whoopsie, whoopsie breaks down the whole build, and i can't do anything further.... cant find /etc/init.d/whoopsie === saurabh is now known as Guest86943 [18:10] Doing my first Xubuntu install. Any suggestions on what to do upon first boot? Is running "sudo apt-get update" from terminal a good start? [18:12] when i go to the display settings i want to change the resolution to 1280 x 800 (16:10) when i select that resolution the rotation options change from 180 degress counterclockwise and clockwise and normal to just clockwise and counterclockwise [18:13] basketball, I'm assuming that you're unable to just select the standard rotation? [18:14] @xubuntu141 - I also just did my first install. If you have internet access it should check for updates right away. I had 167 updates on 12.0.4 LTS. [18:15] thanks 775 [18:15] xubuntu775: First boot? After install or what are we talking about? [18:16] did you use sudo apt-get update? [18:16] nope. It just didt it automaticly. There was an update icon by the clock. [18:16] Yes, first boot after clean install. [18:17] Awesome. [18:17] xubuntu141: Yeah, I'd do so, after that apt-get dist-upgrade too. [18:17] Hope mine does too!1 lol [18:17] if you want to force it, click the gear in the upper right corner and there is an option to update. [18:17] Thanks Unit193! [18:18] (There are several ways to do it, xubuntu775 just has another optional way, just using the GUI rather than CLI.) [18:18] kids remember to always install the restricted extras P: [18:18] xubuntu141, that doesnt show up [18:19] yeah. I am a gui guy. I installed 13.10 on my mail PC to get used to cli way of doing things. [18:19] Yes, that too, what GridCube said. And check drivers. [18:20] xubuntu775: And clearly I'm a CLI person that forgets about the GUI, always good to have someone to remind me, or help others with it. :) [18:25] that totally came out wrong... I installed 13.10 on my MAIN pc is what i meant to say!! anyway thanks for the tip on the restricted extras. i totaly forgot to do this and was about to hand of the pc. [18:26] If $whoever does DVDs, don't forget libdvdcss. [18:30] ok question about the restricted extras, now that i have it accepted (EULA) and installed, how is it updated? is this automatic or do i need to check from time to time? [18:30] its automatic [18:30] all the updates end up in the update manager [18:30] ok cool [18:31] you have to accept and apply any update, but as long as you use the USC to install things, you will recieve the updates there [18:31] if you download and install something outside of the USC then ofcourse you wont recieve any update [18:33] hmmm... on my xunbutu box i ran "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras" was there another way to install this? [18:33] You could use USC. [18:34] xubuntu775, that is basically the same as using the USC xubuntu775 just not graphically [18:34] ok, now that i already ran this, how do i correct this so that my father can do the installs on his own? [18:34] ok, so still get the update notice than? [18:35] then? [18:35] xubuntu775, if there is an update there will be an icon next to the clock that says "there are updates for x amount of programs" and he can click apply [18:36] it wont ask for password [18:36] it will ask for password to apply kernel updates tho [18:36] great. === ` is now known as Guest58232 === azeam_afk is now known as azeam [19:49] hi [19:49] Hdmi is not working [19:49] how do I fix it?
