[00:20] <xubuntu325> help please installing xubuntu downloaded and extracted.. now what? can't find details on xubuntu page...
[00:20] <xubuntu325> windoz install
[00:22] <nomic> you need either a "live cd"
[00:22] <nomic> or a usb .. install .. you make the ubuntu copy bootable from a cd/dvd or usb drive
[00:22] <nomic> or I think there will be a net install
[00:23] <nomic> what you have downloaded is a file with extension/type ".iso" .. that is a CD image file
[00:23] <nomic> you can burn a cd using a windows utility
[00:23] <nomic> which will be bootable .. it will run xubuntu and also install it.
[00:24] <xubuntu325> yes the net install was what I should have gone for, dl'd the xubuntu iso and extracted  instead
[00:24] <nomic> it's nice to have a cd.
[00:24] <nomic> or dvd
[00:24] <xubuntu325> wanted to do a trial for her on this ancient laptop
[00:25] <xubuntu325> nomic thank you..
[00:25] <xubuntu325> <---hunting for link for net install
[00:27] <David-A> xubuntu325: what do you mean "extracted"? if you download an .iso you either burn that, as a diskimage, to a cd or dvd, or use a tool to create a bootable usb-stick from it.
[00:28] <xubuntu325> David-A: this machine has no place usb /// so have to
[00:28] <xubuntu325> I guess burn to cd
[00:28] <xubuntu325> no dvd either
[00:29] <xubuntu325> David-A: extracted=opened with unzip to a subdirectory
[00:29] <xubuntu325> but see that is not the right way to go about things
[00:30] <xubuntu325> David-A: whoa, just now see it does have a DVD
[00:31] <David-A> xubuntu325: just burn the .iso file to a cd, but make sure you burn it as a "disk image" and not a "data file".
[00:31] <xubuntu325> David-A: hey t hanks... so just burn the downloaded .iso to disk image.. then ..
[00:31] <xubuntu325> David-A: run that?
[00:32] <David-A> xubuntu325: many .iso today are too large to fit on a cd, but some versions of xubuntu might.
[00:32] <xubuntu325> David-A: just found out this machine does have a dvd
[00:33] <David-A> xubuntu325: then put the cd into a computer, start the computer and make sure it boots off the cd and not off the harddrive.
[00:33] <xubuntu325> so will make a trip and get a blank dvd and burn it to that
[00:33] <xubuntu325> right.. get at the bios, think that's f12...
[00:35] <xubuntu325> David-A: and nomic thank you for assistance.. getting me on track.
[00:35] <xubuntu325> much appreciated

[02:51] <delt> hello
[02:51] <delt> what's an easy way to set the default sound card for alsa (and pulseaudio)?
[02:53] <delt> whatever i'm trying with config/rc files isn't working :/
[02:54] <delt> also tried setting the onboard intel sound chip to index=-2 ...nothing happens
[02:54] <delt> (oh and rebooted of course)
[02:57] <delt> my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf now contains: options snd-usb-audio index=-2
[02:57] <delt> uh
[02:57] <delt> the line i added is: options snd-hda-intel index=-2
[03:19] <delt> that's weird... in /proc/asound/modules the correct soundcard is listed first, but most stuff eg. mplayer, firefox/swf, etc... don't use it
[03:19] <delt> or at least i'm not hearing anything
[03:19] <delt> oh and snd_hda_intel is listed twice
[03:19] <delt> uh.... anyone here??
[03:20] <delt> bah fck this, my solution: mv /lib/modules/3.13.0-20-lowlatency/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko /lib/modules/3.13.0-20-lowlatency/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko_
[03:20] <`Fibz> can you change the card in alsamixer?
[03:21] <delt> i can select it with F6
[03:21] <`Fibz> did that move do anything for ya?
[03:21] <delt> (default) even seems to be the pci card
[03:22] <`Fibz> is onboard the default in BIOS?
[03:22] <delt> oh, i see why the module is listed twice... once _hdmi and once _pch
[03:23] <delt> still, my pci card (which i want to use by default) is listed right after (default), and the module is listed first in /proc/asound/modules
[03:24] <delt> so i'd pretty much bet it's set as default. now why are apps not using it? ...except those where i can explicitly select it
[03:25] <delt> ok, gonna reboot this machine, brb
[03:27] <delt> there. solved. no more onboard sound card.
[03:27] <delt> (disabling it in the bios still had it loading in linux)
[03:29] <delt> ...i just have to remember to do this again if i update my kernel =)
[05:24] <xubuntu541> Hi!!
[05:25] <xubuntu171> hello channel hey what is the default password on the xubunutu live distro
[05:26] <xubuntu171> for root
[05:27] <xubuntu171> how about once i install what is the root passsword for that install that has my user within it
[05:27] <xubuntu171> im a n00b at linux
[05:28] <cfhowlett> !root
[05:29] <xubuntu171> it requested a password for root when i attempted to elevate priviledges to execute gparted.
[05:30] <xubuntu171> i will try again but i figure that root should have a password once i install right? What is that?
[05:31] <xubuntu171> oic i used su
[05:31] <xubuntu171> thanks
[06:44] <TheX> Just wondering if after installing something. If a package is removed automaticley or do i need to do a clean up command?
[06:46] <knome> what package?
[06:47] <TheX> you know like on windows. you would have to clean out any install packs that was left over
[06:47] <knome> 'sudo apt-get autoremove' would do that, but you hardly need it after *installing* something
[06:48] <knome> i have no idea if GUI tools do it for you or not
[06:48] <TheX> Ok thank you
[06:48] <cfhowlett> TheX, you can always run sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get purge     for springcleaning
[06:48] <elfy> sudo apt-get autoclean or clean
[06:48] <baizon> also there is a purge command to remove the config files etc
[06:49] <TheX> What about cookie's thats saved for a web browser?
[06:49] <knome> the web browser controls those
[06:49] <TheX> Ok thanks you guys
[06:49] <knome> (well, you can remove them from the filesystem, but the browsers offer you the tools to manage them easieR)
[06:50] <TheX> Ok

[12:21] <TheMahmoud> why doesn't this change my keyboard configuration? http://codepad.org/d3d0ju3d

[12:22] <Argafal_> Hi, I notice that all applications started from the desktop use / as the working directory now. Why is that and how can i change it to $HOME again?
[15:43] <fballs> is there a hack to keep flash fullscreen on a dual monitor setup?
[15:44] <fballs> if i have a video in fullscreen on one monitor, as soon as i give anything else focus on the other monitor, the video jumps out of fullscreen mode
[16:01] <intrelis> I am having a little problem after installing xubuntu. Mind if I share?
[16:02] <cfhowlett> !ask|intrelis,
[16:02] <intrelis> Ok, sorry.
[16:06] <intrelis> So I have two IDE PATA drives, drive A set as master, drive B as slave. I had WinXP installed on drive B and I installed Xubuntu on drive A overwriting another distro. By default it booted into drive A, currently Xubuntu, and worked well. But after changing the boot order from A to B, all I get is a single error message "Press any key to reboot". If I do, it reboots and displays the same. All the WinXP files are in the drive, I looked. Is it possible t
[16:06] <intrelis> hat the boot loader was damaged during Xubuntu installation? What if I set drive B to master instead, would that make any difference?
[16:07] <cfhowlett> intrelis, do you get the grub menu?
[16:08] <intrelis> No.
[16:08] <intrelis> I shouldn't get it, there is only one OS on each drive, right?
[16:08] <cfhowlett> intrelis, so the boot error is during Power On Self Test ?
[16:08] <cfhowlett> intrelis, no you SHOULD get grub.  how else do you expect to choose which OS you boot?
[16:09] <intrelis> By selecting from which drive to boot?
[16:09] <cfhowlett> intrelis, anyway; ask this question in #ubuntu = more eyes
[16:09] <intrelis> Heh, thanks, I will.
[16:17] <simpleuser> Hi there. Is there a way to zoom on my screen when needed ?
[16:35] <starrats> simpleuser are your talking about being on a browser or ?
[16:36] <simpleuser> Nope
[16:36] <simpleuser> In general.
[16:57] <grout> Im having a really strange problem.  startxfce4.log in ~/.cache/upstart is growing rapidly with nothing but ip addresses inside and filling up the disk
[16:57] <grout> grows multiple megs per minute
[16:58] <grout> the log has nothing in it besides these ip addresses so i have no idea what its logging
[17:01] <dcu> fballs: actually there is
[17:18] <fballs> dcu, what is it?
[17:19] <fballs> oh nm didn't see msg
[17:46] <fballs> woohoo! that worked a treat, thanks dcu
[17:47] <fballs> now if i could just edit settings in the cam/mic dialog...
[17:49] <nthril> The google results for this aren't proving very useful - anyone know if it's possible to disable the keyboard completely when the screen on a laptop is closed?
[17:49] <nthril> My function keys get pressed by the lid right now - random things like a hundred screenshot windows, or a bunch of new workspaces sometimes greet me upon reopening.
[18:12] <arrith> nthril: you'd have to write a custom script. that's doable though.
[18:12] <arrith> nthril: probably do some powersave trigger

[18:52] <Wayward_Vagabond> So, my graphics are currently messed up after a program crashed while starting and I've no idea how to fix them
[18:53] <Wayward_Vagabond> there's a low resolution 4:3 image scaled up to fit the height of my screen, with black boxes on either side
[18:54] <Wayward_Vagabond> Going to the nividia settings and forcing the resolution back to 1600x900 just shows the top corner of the mage in the same area
[18:55] <Wayward_Vagabond> Restarting the program without it crashing, and switching to a ttyl and back had no effect
[19:11] <Wayward_Vagabond> Any ideas on how to fix it?
[19:20] <Wayward_Vagabond> According to a screenshot, my graphics are rendering as 1024x768 scaled to 1200x900 by the screen
[19:53] <SonikkuAmerica> I know this involves Trusty, but I see no installer in the Beta 2 image...
[19:57] <SonikkuAmerica> Found it (is it in an ideal location?)
[19:58] <elfy> SonikkuAmerica: on the desktop like it normally is?
[19:58] <SonikkuAmerica> elfy: Oh! I'm such a derp! Slap me.
[19:58] <SonikkuAmerica> elfy: I scoured the Whisker Menu for it
[19:58] <elfy> :)
[19:59] <Wayward_Vagabond> How would I go about restarting x?
[20:00] <Wayward_Vagabond> Wait, would that even do any good?
[20:00] <SonikkuAmerica> elfy: Should it be on the Whisker Menu?
[20:06] <kupo_> Hello folks
[20:07] <kupo_> Will all current themes that work with 13.10 still work on 14.04
[20:16] <SonikkuAmerica> Trying to install from grml-rescueboot won't let me because it claims the partition on which the ISO is hosted is "in use"!
[20:33] <gema> hello, my xubuntu installation comes with xfburn to burn my dvd. I have a small problem with it. It only let me burn 4.3gb dvds but my dvd is 4.7. Any other program i can use to burn 4.7gb dvds? I could not find a preference in xfburn to set my dvds to 4.7gb
[20:33] <gema> i prepared a 4.56 compilation and xfburn tells me there is not space in the blank dvd wich is 4.7gb
[20:34] <SonikkuAmerica> So I heard that apt-offline will be used as an apt helper going forward... can someone tell me a little more about that?
[20:42] <gema> anyone can tell me a dvd burner apps wich will allow me to burn custom size dvd?
[20:42] <SonikkuAmerica> gema: Xfburn won't let you?
[20:42] <gema> no
[20:42] <gema> only 4.3gb
[20:42] <SonikkuAmerica> gema: Try Brasero then maybe?
[20:42] <gema> my dvds are 4.7
[20:43] <gema> ok, trying
[20:43] <gema> thank you
[20:47] <pleia2> gema: I can't find a similar bug on either https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfburn or https://bugzilla.xfce.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=xfburn - can you submit one?
[20:47] <pleia2> (and I just realized I never burn full dvds!)
[20:48] <gema> im new on linux, i dont know how to submit a bug, also my english is not good
[20:49] <pleia2> gema: oh! another person has your same nickname, got you mixed up with her :)
[20:49] <gema> but any of you have xubuntu open xfburn and you can see not posible to burn other than 4.3 or 7.9gb dvd
[20:49] <gema> oh, i change nickname, np
[20:49] <gema> brb
[20:51] <gema2xubuntu> im back
[20:51] <gema2xubuntu> new nickname
[20:52] <gema2xubuntu> y installed brasero and k3b, xubuntu ask me for a reestart, brb
[20:55] <Artemis3> last time i tried, installing both brasero and k3b was a recipe for disaster, ymmv.
[20:57] <gema2xubuntu> yes, brasero detects i have a blank 4.7gb
[20:57] <gema2xubuntu> not xfburn though
[20:57] <gema2xubuntu> thank you
[20:57] <gema2xubuntu> i will check k3b
[21:00] <gema2xubuntu> k3b also not good, shows a free 4.4gb on a 4.7gbdisk (maybe is not cheking the disk and it is a default like xfburn), nevertheless, k3b has an "overburning" option
[21:00] <gema2xubuntu> so i could burn 4.7 with k3b though is not correctly detecting the disk. I will keep brasero and delete the others
[21:02] <gema2xubuntu> just in case you want to open bug, i tried to open and close tray in k3b and available size change, on open tray a default 700mb cd, on close tray with a dvd 4.7, detects 4.4 available space, so it is checking the disk but doing it wrong
[21:04] <gema2xubuntu> only brasero detects the correct size of the dvd from those 3 programs (xfburn the worse-does not detect correct size, does not let you choose 4.7gb and does not let you overburn- k3b does not correctly measure the available size but lets you overburn and brasero detects the correct size of the disk)
[21:05] <gema2xubuntu> if u tell me how, i can copy and paste that i wrote an open a bug
[21:05] <pleia2> gema2xubuntu: thanks for the feedback
[21:05] <gema2xubuntu> you are very welcome, thank you for recomend brasero
[21:06] <pleia2> gema2xubuntu: if you are interested, you can open a terminal and type: ubuntu-bug xfburn
[21:06] <pleia2> it will walk you through submitting the bug :)
[21:06] <gema2xubuntu> ok, i will try and so i learn some about linux and help the comunity
