| Novice | Hello | 10:45 |
| Novice | Does anybody know whether any non-free proprietary software can be removed from Xubuntu? My hardware isn't dependent on proprietary, closed source firmware, drivers or binary blobs. | 10:47 |
| Novice | I want to use Xubuntu but I am slightly confused on whether or not it's a "free as in freedom distribution", I know the FSF doesn't recommend Ubuntu, I am just wondering if this is because the distribution allows you to download closed source proprietary software or if it's because Ubuntu comes with closed source proprietary software. | 10:49 |
| bekks | Novice: Mr. Stallman just doesnt know how to uninstall unwanted lenses in Unity. And Ubuntu is free. | 10:50 |
| Novice | Free as in gratis or free as in libre? | 10:50 |
| bekks | Novice: Free as in free recipes on how to brew your own free beer. :) | 10:51 |
| Novice | I'm going to be using Xubuntu, I am slightly confused on whether or not Xubuntu has non-free proprietary software pre-installed and or if it's removable | 10:51 |
| Novice | I am sorry if I sound like a nut | 10:51 |
| Novice | I want to support the FSF but their recommended distributions are for elitists. | 10:52 |
| bekks | Novice: Ubuntu has no closed-source applications preinstalled. You can install them if you like (like graphics drivers), and of course you can remove unwanted software. | 10:52 |
| Novice | I see, so like Debian Ubuntu is free by default? | 10:52 |
| Novice | Is the only reason Ubuntu isn't recommended due to the ability to install non-free proprietary software, firmware e.t.c? | 10:53 |
| Novice | Sorry if I am not understanding you | 10:55 |
| Novice | I am new to GNU + Linux and the ideology of gratis, libre open-source software | 10:56 |
| bekks | Novice: Mr. Stallmann does not recommend Ubuntu because he thinks it is too hard to uninstall unwanted software. He is more like the gnome devs: "dont even give the user the chance to use unwanted software..." - and he just forgets the fact that there are users actually wanting software which others dont want. | 10:57 |
| bluesabre | please see https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html for a summary of the FSF's stances on Ubuntu | 10:58 |
| bluesabre | but basically, making it easier for users to install Linux on their hardware and have it work correctly seems to be frowned upon | 10:58 |
| Novice | Okay thankyou, I think I understand. | 10:59 |
| Novice | I can un-install all non-free software | 10:59 |
| Novice | My hardware isn't not dependent on NDISWrapper, binary blobs, or proprietary drivers-firmware, does this mean NDISWrappers, binary blobs, or proprietary drivers-firmware will be installed by default or not? Does Ubuntu only install necessary firmware tailored to my hardware? (Like Debian) | 11:02 |
| bekks | Novice: "Ubuntu has no closed-source applications preinstalled." | 11:02 |
| bekks | Novice: That still applies, even if I already said it. | 11:03 |
| Novice | I understand, thank you for all your help | 11:03 |
| Novice | THank you and goodbye | 11:03 |
| Novice | :-[ | 11:04 |
| Novice | Hello? | 11:06 |
| Novice | Sorry I just have one more question | 11:06 |
| Novice | Is Unity only affected by the Amazon data tracking? If I went and installed Xubuntu would I still face amazon data tracking? | 11:07 |
| bekks | There is a so called "shopping lense" which displays Amazon shop data matching the search term you entered in the dash. That was what enraged Mr. Stallman. He denied to see the fact, that it a) can be disabled and b) can be uninstalled. | 11:09 |
| Novice | But is the "shopping lense" installed in Xubuntu? | 11:12 |
| cfhowlett | Novice no. | 11:13 |
| bekks | No. It is part of Unity | 11:13 |
| cfhowlett | !flavors|Novice | 11:13 |
| ubottu | Novice: !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. | 11:13 |
| cfhowlett | Novice you can remove unity or use one of the other flavors of ubuntu | 11:14 |

| bosnjak | Compiz has this, but I don't use it | 13:42 |
| bosnjak | any idea? | 13:42 |
| holstein | bosnjak: are you talking about cursor visual feedback when the mouse button is clicked? thats not really for screencasting, though, i imagine that is what you are after? maybe just a simple cursor theme that changes when clicked? | 14:06 |
| bosnjak | holstein: yes, i am trying to get this for screencasting. Why do you think this is not a good idea? | 14:08 |
| holstein | bosnjak: i didnt say it wasnt | 14:08 |
| holstein | bosnjak: i just think you are likely searching for it for screencasting, and that is beside the point.. you only want visual feedback for when you click the moust button | 14:09 |
| holstein | mouse* | 14:09 |
| bosnjak | holstein: ah i see, i misunderstood you. A cursor is not a bad idea... | 14:09 |

| Cameron__ | ok | 19:24 |
| Cameron__ | I had to switch my monitor out, after I had loaded a bad program. The Program was a Delux Gem Drop game. I feel certain that because it was not compatible with Ubuntu it has keep me from accessing my rightful user when I start up. I do not see my regular desktop most of the screen is dark, I do see my user name in the corner and the top bar but when I am able to find the drop down on the right and click I see nothing | 19:27 |
| Cameron__ | Is there a way to remove that program, the Gem Drop Game? from another user? | 19:29 |
| mzr | so, you're saying you downloaded malware of sorts? | 19:29 |
| mzr | I would think so, so long as you know the root password | 19:29 |
| Cameron__ | no, when my computer was set up it had the other drives from all my older pc's | 19:29 |
| Cameron__ | it had a few games, when I was tooling around I came across it and tried to start it up,. The problem with the monitor previous to starting it up was just an annoying line down the middle, When I started the game it went to tunnel vision and I could not exit the game. | 19:31 |
| mzr | hmm... | 19:31 |
| mzr | so...you're trying to uninstall the game now? | 19:32 |
| mzr | and that's it? | 19:32 |
| Cameron__ | II can log in to my normal user but I see nothing but the very top line. | 19:32 |
| Cameron__ | well, I am not sure what to do. I think if I get rid of it completly it would help. | 19:32 |
| Cameron__ | but I am not sure. | 19:32 |
| mzr | well, do you have any files you need? | 19:33 |
| Cameron__ | what kind of files, music and documents yes. | 19:33 |
| Cameron__ | I do not wish to do something as dramatic as downloading ubuntu all over again | 19:34 |
| mzr | you're in #xubuntu, do you have xubuntu, or ubuntu? xubuntu doesn't have the dock on the right | 19:35 |
| mzr | *left | 19:35 |
| Cameron__ | I do not know the difference between the two. I have had it on this puter about 3 yeaers ...how do I tell which I have? | 19:36 |
| mzr | wha's on the lefthand side of your screen? | 19:36 |
| Cameron__ | at the very top is a left is a drop down application. | 19:37 |
| mzr | is it a blue mouse looking logo? | 19:38 |
| Cameron__ | it is blue and very small it more looks like a bird | 19:38 |
| Cameron__ | might be a mouse | 19:38 |
| mzr | in the drop down does it have anything that says xubuntu? | 19:39 |
| Cameron__ | yes there is an icon labled Xubuntu Website and a Contribute to Xubuntu | 19:41 |
| mzr | so yeah it's xu | 19:42 |
| mzr | and from what I understand you're trying to just uninstall that game? | 19:42 |
| Cameron__ | good. at one point when the Game was stuck on and I could not get out of it, I hit several things most of which Control & Alt and F7 although I did try all the F buttons that way. | 19:44 |
| Cameron__ | I hope it is not hitting those buttons that have caused my main user to not function correctly, I believe it is that game and yes I wish it off my computer all together | 19:45 |
| mzr | have you tried to unistall it via the ubuntu software center? | 19:45 |
| Cameron__ | either way. | 19:45 |
| mzr | so you have or you have't? :) | 19:46 |
| Cameron__ | no. I have not, it was already on one of my old drives which was integrated into the computer, I just should not have loaded it, that was my mistake. It was not a new download | 19:46 |
| Cameron__ | it was from a time when I had windows running | 19:47 |
| Cameron__ | so I feel that because it was not compatable with ubuntu it has messed things up. | 19:47 |
| Cameron__ | no I have not tried to uninstall it via ubutu software. | 19:48 |
| Cameron__ | sorry | 19:48 |
| mzr | is it a windows or ubuntu app? | 19:49 |
| Cameron__ | it was a windows app game, yes. I just was not thinking, I have been using ubuntu for a few years and had been looking for something in one of the drives and came across it | 19:50 |
| Cameron__ | and without thinking started it up. | 19:51 |

| holstein | nikola_: i usually test with another user, or the guest account, to see if the issue is in my user's config | 20:03 |
| holstein | xubuntu551: you can search for it.. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/20140410/ for example, but keep in mind, 14.04 is not officially released yet, nor supported here yet | 20:04 |
| xubuntu551 | ok thx | 20:05 |
| xubuntu141 | hello everyone | 20:52 |
| xubuntu141 | im looking for some help with xubuntu ...just installed it on my dell studio 1555 and its overheating... | 20:53 |
| xubuntu177 | i need help to clone my Xubuntu stick drive | 21:15 |
| holstein | xubuntu551: dd copy.. or clonezilla is nice, using simple tools on the backend | 21:16 |
| xubuntu177 | i tried dd but messsage says it is not installed on my system | 21:16 |
| holstein | xubuntu551: what says what? | 21:17 |
| holstein | xubuntu177: ^ | 21:17 |
| holstein | xubuntu177: try using the full live clonezilla cloning linux distribution | 21:17 |
| xubuntu177 | when I type dd lf=/dev/disk2 of=/dev/disk1. message comes back on the screen saying dd not an installed command | 21:18 |
| xubuntu177 | all i want to do is clone my 8gb drive to a new 8gb drive so I can boot and run another identical computer. | 21:20 |
| xubuntu177 | I have the new drive mounted and was told to unmount both drives | 21:21 |
| xubuntu177 | ok thank you. | 21:22 |
| mzr | hey guys - is there a way to switch to the daily release without reinstalling? | 21:48 |
| holstein | mzr: you do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and you are up to date, with the updates through today | 21:56 |
| mzr | thank you! | 21:56 |
| holstein | mzr: not sure ir you are on 13.10, or on 14.04, or wanting to update from 13.10 to 14.04 or what | 21:56 |
| holstein | mzr: that command will update whatever you are running to current.. 13.10 to current 13.10.. 14.04 to current 14.04.. | 21:57 |
| mzr | yeah, should've mentioned, hat looking to make the 13-14 jump, won't that just give me the newest 13? | 21:57 |
| mzr | yeah... | 21:57 |
| mzr | so, can I switch without a clean install? | 21:57 |
| holstein | mzr: sure.. i suggest you backup your data either way | 21:57 |
| mzr | don't have anything that important, it's a vm | 21:58 |
| holstein | mzr: you update *all* the data you want to keep | 21:58 |
| holstein | mzr: anything important on any level. .if its not "that" important, a fresh install is much faster | 21:59 |
| mzr | okay, so just grab the iso and mount it? | 21:59 |
| holstein | mzr: i mean, you'll have to install using an installer.. mounting an iso just mounts an iso | 22:00 |
| mzr | would a new vm be easier, lol? | 22:00 |
| holstein | mzr: the live iso allows for installation | 22:00 |
| mzr | holstein, so what should I do? | 22:01 |
| holstein | mzr: i suggested, and still suggest backing up any data before doing either an upgrade or fresh install | 22:27 |
| holstein | mzr: 14.04 is not released yet, so not offically supported.. so, if you want to upgrade to it earily, you'll find how to do that easily | 22:27 |
| mzr | holstein - no data, seriously | 22:27 |
| holstein | mzr: or, just download a daily iso and install | 22:27 |
| holstein | mzr: then, skip that step, friend | 22:27 |
| holstein | mzr: it *is* what i say you should do.. you dont have to.. | 22:28 |
| mzr | fine, new vm for Xubuntu 14.04 then... | 22:28 |
| mzr | thanks holstein, have a good night | 22:28 |
| ordonezalex | Has anyone here installed Xubuntu 13.10 as a second OS on a machine with UEFI/SecureBoot? | 22:28 |
| holstein | !uefi | ordonezalex | 22:29 |
| ubottu | ordonezalex: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 22:29 |
| mzr | I've done it on a usb stick and it still works | 22:29 |
| mzr | wouldn't imagine a partition would be all that harder | 22:30 |
| skribblezatcha | whats up peoples. | 22:59 |
