| Havenstance | If I install a graphics card and reboot would I have to run any commands to make the system see it on xubuntu 12.04? | 00:25 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | Havenstance: depends.. if it were me, i would remove any proprietary drivers for graphics i have installed | 00:26 |
| holstein | Havenstance: the kernel is modular, so, if you are going from open driver to open driver, it "should" just work | 00:27 |
| Havenstance | I'll give it a shot thank you holstein :) | 00:32 |
| Guest3265 | need guidance, upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04, lost volume control applet on task bar =( | 04:04 |
| delt | Guest3265: had the same problem. | 04:05 |
| delt | solved by uninstalling the package and reinstalling it. volume control was back on next reboot | 04:05 |
| Guest3265 | package name? | 04:05 |
| delt | indicator-sound-gtk2 | 04:05 |
| delt | was just looking for it sry =) | 04:05 |
| Guest3265 | thanks. gonna try rq | 04:06 |
| delt | indicator-sound and indicator-sound-gtk2 | 04:06 |
| delt | guest3265: the actual process in the task bar is /usr/lib/indicator-sound-gtk2/indicator-sound-service | 04:06 |
| Guest3265 | trying aptitude reinstall | 04:08 |
| delt | sudo apt-get remove indicator-sound | 04:09 |
| delt | sudo apt-get remove indicator-sound-gtk2 | 04:09 |
| delt | then the 2 same commands again but with "install" instead of "remove" | 04:09 |
| Guest3265 | brb | 04:10 |
| Guest3256 | still no volume icon. tweaked with dbus script a bit per some other posts. | 04:40 |

| bradsguitar | how can i print wirelessly to my epson xp-310? | 14:41 |
| cfhowlett | !cups|bradsguitar | 14:42 |
| ubottu | bradsguitar: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu | 14:42 |
| bradsguitar | i can't find my printer and print settings doesnt show up in settings manager | 14:46 |
| cfhowlett | bradsguitar did you add the printer? | 14:48 |
| bradsguitar | couldn't find it | 14:48 |
| MaxFrames | hello | 14:49 |
| cfhowlett | bradsguitar system > printing > add printers | 14:49 |
| cfhowlett | MaxFrames greetings. ask your ubuntu question | 14:49 |
| bradsguitar | not an option | 14:49 |
| bradsguitar | i'm on a chromebook if that matters | 14:49 |
| cfhowlett | bradsguitar what it the output of cat /etc/issue? | 14:50 |
| cfhowlett | bradsguitar what it the output of cat /etc/issue/ | 14:50 |
| MaxFrames | I currently have ubuntu installed on a sd card on a netbook (dual booting xp from the ssd and ubuntu from the sd card, with grub on the sdcard, so if the sdcard is 1st on the boot sequence grub is invoked, while if the sdd is 1st windows starts right away) | 14:50 |
| MaxFrames | now I need to replace ubuntu with xubuntu | 14:50 |
| bradsguitar | 12.04.4 | 14:50 |
| MaxFrames | do I need to manually wipe grub from the sd card? | 14:50 |
| cfhowlett | MaxFrames nope. | 14:51 |
| MaxFrames | or will the xubuntu installer take care of it? | 14:51 |
| cfhowlett | MaxFrames try this: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 14:51 |
| cfhowlett | MaxFrames sudo-apt get purge ubuntu desktop | 14:51 |
| MaxFrames | I'd want to do a clean install | 14:51 |
| cfhowlett | MaxFrame then select the partition for your install and format to ext4 = "wipe" | 14:52 |
| MaxFrames | ok thanks | 14:52 |
| cfhowlett | bradsguitar how is your epson networked? via a wifi router or directly from the printer? | 14:53 |
| bradsguitar | wifi router | 14:53 |
| MaxFrames | I really should install on the ssd, but I'd want to be able to restore xp just as a safety net if something goes south | 14:53 |
| MaxFrames | maybe I should put clonezilla on a usb stick, clone the ssd, and then wipe it and xubuntu it | 14:54 |
| cfhowlett | MaxFrames if you call an unsupported OS safe ... but OK then | 14:54 |
| MaxFrames | it would just be a safety net... psychological thing :) | 14:54 |
| cfhowlett | MaxFrames OK then | 14:54 |
| MaxFrames | once I've made sure every tool I need works, off goes xp | 14:54 |
| MaxFrames | let's see if I can find a tut about putting clonezilla to a usb stick | 14:55 |
| cfhowlett | MaxFrames guessing this is an older box, so consider lubuntu as well | 14:55 |
| MaxFrames | do you think xubuntu is a good choice for this ancient 1 gb ram/single core atom netbook? | 14:55 |
| MaxFrames | ^^ that | 14:55 |
| cfhowlett | MaxFrames good? sure. lubuntu might be better as it is specifically optimized for older / lower specification hardware | 14:56 |
| MaxFrames | as long as it will run the packages in the *ubuntu repos, it looks like winner | 14:56 |
| cfhowlett | MaxFrames absolutely. lubuntu is an official canonical distro and is fully supported. moreover, 14.04 will be LTS | 14:57 |
| MaxFrames | should I wait for 14.04 then? out this month right? | 14:58 |
| MaxFrames | if it's out this week, I might wait :P | 14:58 |
| cfhowlett | MaxFrames available april 17th | 14:58 |
| MaxFrames | ok, I'll wait :) | 14:58 |
| rapha | Hu! | 14:58 |
| rapha | Hi, I mean :) | 14:59 |
| MaxFrames | meanwhile I'll backup the thingie and prepare it | 14:59 |
| cfhowlett | rapha greetings. ask your question. | 14:59 |
| rapha | Is it feasible to "convert" an already Elementary OS (or other Ubuntu derivative, for that matter) to Xubuntu without reinstalling? | 14:59 |
| cfhowlett | rapha if it's one of the canonical flavors, yes | 15:01 |
| cfhowlett | !flavors | 15:01 |
| ubottu | !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. | 15:01 |
| MaxFrames | so, let's say I install lubuntu on the ssd. at this point I will want to erase the sd card (to use it as additional storage space) and remove grub from it | 15:03 |
| MaxFrames | how would I go about doing that? | 15:03 |
| cfhowlett | MaxFrames gparted, unmount the sd, format it to ext4 | 15:03 |
| rapha | cfhowlett: in that case, I'm not sure. The concrete distro I have to deal with is Elementary OS. It's definitely Ubuntu-based though. It has a software-center and apt-get, it uses the Ubuntu package sources and so on, and so on. | 15:04 |
| MaxFrames | ok so formatting erases the boot sector? | 15:04 |
| cfhowlett | rapha my understanding is NO but twice a year, I'm slightly in error. | 15:05 |
| cfhowlett | MaxFrames no but you can overwrite the MBR | 15:06 |
| rapha | cfhowlett: your confidence hints to a specific reason ... so let me ask the other way around: how would I go about installing a Xubuntu-flavoured XFCE desktop? | 15:06 |
| MaxFrames | and how would I do that? | 15:06 |
| cfhowlett | rapha in ubuntu, sudo apt-get install xfce4 (current version) | 15:07 |
| cfhowlett | rapha that will get the desktop environment - not the default apps | 15:07 |
| === mzr1 is now known as mzr | ||
| MaxFrames | can you tell me how to format a drive and at the same time overwrite the mbr to remove grub? | 15:10 |
| MaxFrames | this? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-clearing-out-master-boot-record-dd-command/ | 15:10 |
| baizon | MaxFrames: use gparted? | 15:10 |
| rapha | cfhowlett: the default apps are not necessarily a problem. but is there no metapackage? | 15:12 |
| bradsguitar | i still can't find printer settings | 15:12 |
| cfhowlett | rapha sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop is the metapackage | 15:12 |
| cfhowlett | bradsguitar no printer installed means no settings to manage. I don't know why your printer doesn't appear. Suggest you boot windows and print the printer properties, then reboot ubuntu and configure the printer | 15:14 |
| bradsguitar | i dont have windows | 15:14 |
| bradsguitar | i am running chromeos and xubuntu side by side | 15:14 |
| bradsguitar | which driver download should i choose? | 15:15 |
| cfhowlett | bradsguitar OK, so chrome. important thing is to capture a record of the printer configuration | 15:15 |
| bradsguitar | there are no drivers in chrome it's cloud print | 15:17 |
| rapha | cfhowlett: thanks! I'll try in a VM first. | 15:17 |
| bradsguitar | wait i got something that has info about my printer | 15:19 |
| bradsguitar | what do you need to know? | 15:19 |
| cfhowlett | bradsguitar connection ip is probably the big thing if you're to configure the printer manually | 15:20 |
| bradsguitar | ip address is 192.168.1.9 | 15:21 |
| cfhowlett | bradsguitar add the printer manually, use the settings | 15:21 |
| bradsguitar | what settings? | 15:21 |
| bradsguitar | i dont show printer settings | 15:22 |
| cfhowlett | bradsguitar start the add printer dialog and you'll see | 15:22 |
| bradsguitar | where is it? | 15:22 |
| cfhowlett | bradsguitar system > printing > add printer | 15:22 |
| bradsguitar | sorry i'm new | 15:23 |
| cfhowlett | bradsguitar not to worry. I only mentally slurred your good name. | 15:23 |
| bradsguitar | there is no printer option in settings | 15:24 |

| TheSheep | nvon: obviously you can, if the installer can do it, but don't ask me about how to do it with an encrypted disk, because I have no idea :( | 23:52 |
| TheSheep | nvon: you could try making a swap file instead | 23:52 |
| nvon | TheSheep: swap file doesn't work for hibernation, afaik | 23:53 |
| TheSheep | I see | 23:53 |
| nvon | the installer has a default auto option that doesn't create a swap file, and another where you choose what to do. but i chose the auto :-/ | 23:54 |
