[00:20] help please installing xubuntu downloaded and extracted.. now what? can't find details on xubuntu page... [00:20] windoz install [00:22] you need either a "live cd" [00:22] or a usb .. install .. you make the ubuntu copy bootable from a cd/dvd or usb drive [00:22] or I think there will be a net install [00:23] what you have downloaded is a file with extension/type ".iso" .. that is a CD image file [00:23] you can burn a cd using a windows utility [00:23] which will be bootable .. it will run xubuntu and also install it. [00:24] yes the net install was what I should have gone for, dl'd the xubuntu iso and extracted instead [00:24] it's nice to have a cd. [00:24] or dvd [00:24] wanted to do a trial for her on this ancient laptop [00:25] nomic thank you.. [00:25] <---hunting for link for net install [00:27] 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] David-A: this machine has no place usb /// so have to [00:28] I guess burn to cd [00:28] no dvd either [00:29] David-A: extracted=opened with unzip to a subdirectory [00:29] but see that is not the right way to go about things [00:30] David-A: whoa, just now see it does have a DVD [00:31] 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] David-A: hey t hanks... so just burn the downloaded .iso to disk image.. then .. [00:31] David-A: run that? [00:32] xubuntu325: many .iso today are too large to fit on a cd, but some versions of xubuntu might. [00:32] David-A: just found out this machine does have a dvd [00:33] 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] so will make a trip and get a blank dvd and burn it to that [00:33] right.. get at the bios, think that's f12... [00:35] David-A: and nomic thank you for assistance.. getting me on track. [00:35] much appreciated [00:51] np === Juvenal_ is now known as Juv1228 === lderan_ is now known as lderan === mnepton is now known as mneptok === bluesabre1 is now known as bluesabre === FreezingAlt is now known as FreezingCold === fibz_ is now known as `Fibz [02:51] hello [02:51] what's an easy way to set the default sound card for alsa (and pulseaudio)? [02:53] whatever i'm trying with config/rc files isn't working :/ [02:54] also tried setting the onboard intel sound chip to index=-2 ...nothing happens [02:54] (oh and rebooted of course) [02:57] my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf now contains: options snd-usb-audio index=-2 [02:57] uh [02:57] the line i added is: options snd-hda-intel index=-2 [03:19] 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] or at least i'm not hearing anything [03:19] oh and snd_hda_intel is listed twice [03:19] uh.... anyone here?? [03:20] 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] i can select it with F6 [03:21] <`Fibz> did that move do anything for ya? [03:21] (default) even seems to be the pci card [03:22] <`Fibz> is onboard the default in BIOS? [03:22] oh, i see why the module is listed twice... once _hdmi and once _pch [03:23] 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] 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] ok, gonna reboot this machine, brb [03:27] there. solved. no more onboard sound card. [03:27] (disabling it in the bios still had it loading in linux) [03:29] ...i just have to remember to do this again if i update my kernel =) [05:24] Hi!! [05:25] hello channel hey what is the default password on the xubunutu live distro [05:26] for root [05:27] how about once i install what is the root passsword for that install that has my user within it [05:27] im a n00b at linux [05:28] !root [05:28] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [05:29] it requested a password for root when i attempted to elevate priviledges to execute gparted. [05:30] i will try again but i figure that root should have a password once i install right? What is that? [05:31] oic i used su [05:31] thanks [06:44] Just wondering if after installing something. If a package is removed automaticley or do i need to do a clean up command? [06:46] what package? [06:47] you know like on windows. you would have to clean out any install packs that was left over [06:47] 'sudo apt-get autoremove' would do that, but you hardly need it after *installing* something [06:48] i have no idea if GUI tools do it for you or not [06:48] Ok thank you [06:48] 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] sudo apt-get autoclean or clean [06:48] also there is a purge command to remove the config files etc [06:49] What about cookie's thats saved for a web browser? [06:49] the web browser controls those [06:49] Ok thanks you guys [06:49] (well, you can remove them from the filesystem, but the browsers offer you the tools to manage them easieR) [06:50] Ok === TheMaster is now known as Unit193 [08:09] привет [08:10] кто-то по samba vj;tn gjvjxm& [08:11] может помочь? * [09:59] forza napoli [09:59] speak italien?

But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [12:21] why doesn't this change my keyboard configuration? http://codepad.org/d3d0ju3d [12:22] i want key 37 to be Super_L, but key 37 is still Control_L [12:22] 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] is there a hack to keep flash fullscreen on a dual monitor setup? [15:44] 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] I am having a little problem after installing xubuntu. Mind if I share? [16:02] !ask|intrelis, [16:02] intrelis,: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [16:02] Ok, sorry. [16:06] 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] 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] intrelis, do you get the grub menu? [16:08] No. [16:08] I shouldn't get it, there is only one OS on each drive, right? [16:08] intrelis, so the boot error is during Power On Self Test ? [16:08] intrelis, no you SHOULD get grub. how else do you expect to choose which OS you boot? [16:09] By selecting from which drive to boot? [16:09] intrelis, anyway; ask this question in #ubuntu = more eyes [16:09] Heh, thanks, I will. [16:17] Hi there. Is there a way to zoom on my screen when needed ? [16:35] simpleuser are your talking about being on a browser or ? [16:36] Nope [16:36] In general. [16:57] 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] grows multiple megs per minute [16:58] the log has nothing in it besides these ip addresses so i have no idea what its logging [17:01] fballs: actually there is [17:18] dcu, what is it? [17:19] oh nm didn't see msg [17:46] woohoo! that worked a treat, thanks dcu [17:47] now if i could just edit settings in the cam/mic dialog... [17:49] 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] 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] nthril: you'd have to write a custom script. that's doable though. [18:12] nthril: probably do some powersave trigger [18:23] 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 [18:23] the log has nothing in it besides these ip addresses so i have no idea what its logging [18:23] grows multiple megs per minute [18:52] So, my graphics are currently messed up after a program crashed while starting and I've no idea how to fix them [18:53] 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] 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] Restarting the program without it crashing, and switching to a ttyl and back had no effect [19:11] Any ideas on how to fix it? [19:20] According to a screenshot, my graphics are rendering as 1024x768 scaled to 1200x900 by the screen [19:53] I know this involves Trusty, but I see no installer in the Beta 2 image... [19:57] Found it (is it in an ideal location?) [19:58] SonikkuAmerica: on the desktop like it normally is? [19:58] elfy: Oh! I'm such a derp! Slap me. [19:58] elfy: I scoured the Whisker Menu for it [19:58] :) [19:59] How would I go about restarting x? [20:00] Wait, would that even do any good? [20:00] elfy: Should it be on the Whisker Menu? [20:06] Hello folks [20:07] Will all current themes that work with 13.10 still work on 14.04 [20:16] 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] 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] i prepared a 4.56 compilation and xfburn tells me there is not space in the blank dvd wich is 4.7gb [20:34] 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] anyone can tell me a dvd burner apps wich will allow me to burn custom size dvd? [20:42] gema: Xfburn won't let you? [20:42] no [20:42] only 4.3gb [20:42] gema: Try Brasero then maybe? [20:42] my dvds are 4.7 [20:43] ok, trying [20:43] thank you [20:47] 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] (and I just realized I never burn full dvds!) [20:48] im new on linux, i dont know how to submit a bug, also my english is not good [20:49] gema: oh! another person has your same nickname, got you mixed up with her :) [20:49] 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] oh, i change nickname, np [20:49] brb [20:51] im back [20:51] new nickname [20:52] y installed brasero and k3b, xubuntu ask me for a reestart, brb [20:55] last time i tried, installing both brasero and k3b was a recipe for disaster, ymmv. [20:57] yes, brasero detects i have a blank 4.7gb [20:57] not xfburn though [20:57] thank you [20:57] i will check k3b [21:00] 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] 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] 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] 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] if u tell me how, i can copy and paste that i wrote an open a bug [21:05] gema2xubuntu: thanks for the feedback [21:05] you are very welcome, thank you for recomend brasero [21:06] gema2xubuntu: if you are interested, you can open a terminal and type: ubuntu-bug xfburn [21:06] it will walk you through submitting the bug :) [21:06] ok, i will try and so i learn some about linux and help the comunity [21:06] thank you!
