| RippSteakface | channel's feels kinda dead | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| RippSteakface | what sort of laptop is it | 00:00 |
| OneWithWaves | It's an Acer TravelMate 6292 - I think it's kind of similar to an Eee but don't bet on it. | 00:03 |
| RippSteakface | i'm on an eee at the moment. i actually didn't expect xubuntu to map the keys properly but it did so far - my guess is the keyboard map is slightly off for your specific laptop | 00:04 |
| RippSteakface | is there a Fn button you use to change brightness and bluetooth? | 00:04 |
| OneWithWaves | I can use the Fn key to change brightness in combination with the left/right keys but the BT key is dedicated and has an indicator LED. | 00:05 |
| RippSteakface | sec | 00:09 |
| RippSteakface | can't find a high-enough res image to see the keyboard :( | 00:10 |
| RippSteakface | have you tried asking in #ubuntu ? this channel is super slow | 00:10 |
| RippSteakface | i'm sure it'll come down to how the keyboard is mapped and what "layout" xubuntu is using | 00:11 |
| OneWithWaves | I wasn't sure if it would apply, but I mean if it's a keyboard setting you're right, it wouldn't be that different... | 00:11 |
| OneWithWaves | I like to support individual distros :) | 00:11 |
| RippSteakface | i do too | 00:11 |
| OneWithWaves | I LOVE Xubuntu... | 00:11 |
| RippSteakface | i'm a super noob too, just put xubuntu on here | 00:11 |
| RippSteakface | gotta put my daughter to bed, maybe we'll see what's up later | 00:11 |

| Lachezar | Hey all. After upgrading to 14.04 I found myself lacking a PDF viewer: evince was removed! An upgrade botch, or something by design? | 07:43 |
| Unit193 | Well I can tell you that never happened to me. What happens if you try to install it? | 07:44 |
| Lachezar | evince : Depends: gnome-icon-theme-symbolic but it is not installable | 07:45 |
| Lachezar | Package gnome-icon-theme-symbolic is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 07:46 |
| Unit193 | gnome-icon-theme-symbolic is in main... | 07:48 |
| Unit193 | You do have standard repos? Does sudo apt update make it installable? | 07:49 |
| Lachezar | LC_ALL=C aptitude show gnome-icon-theme-symbolic -> No current or candidate version found for gnome-icon-theme-symbolic | 07:49 |
| Lachezar | Just did an 'apt-get update'… | 07:49 |
| Unit193 | Alright, so what's your /etc/apt/sources.list look like? | 07:50 |
| Lachezar | I have deb http://bg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted | 07:51 |
| Lachezar | Unit193: I could pastebin the whole lot if needed. | 07:51 |
| Unit193 | That should do it, shows up fine http://bg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gnome-icon-theme-symbolic/ :/ | 07:53 |
| Lachezar | Off to #debian to ask for help pin-pointing this out. | 07:54 |
| Unit193 | They aren't going to want to help since it's not a Debian system. | 07:56 |
| Lachezar | There is something weird with this package: 'aptitude show gnome-icon-theme-symbolic' -> 'Replaces: gnome-power-manager (< 3.2), gnome-power-manager (< 3.2)' | 07:56 |
| Unit193 | Not so weird if it ships an icon gnome-power-manager used to. | 08:00 |
| Lachezar | Unit193: #debian helped: it comes down to my attempt to forbid Unity and Zeitgeist installlation with previous upgrade. I had disabled the gnome-icon-theme-symbolic in the apt preferences. | 08:17 |

| abcdef | Can you spare me the website to download xubuntu that can install in Wins 7 ? | 09:07 |
| slickymasterWork | abcdef: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ | 09:08 |
| cfhowlett | abcdef installing in windows is done with wubi. wubi is no longer supported. use virtualbox or do a proper dual boot. | 09:08 |
| abcdef | cfhowlett: virtualbox is an additional file and we can download it ? | 09:11 |
| cfhowlett | abcdef it's an app in the ubuntu repos, so yes. | 09:11 |
| cfhowlett | !vbox | 09:11 |
| ubottu | Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 09:11 |
| abcdef | so ubuntu installed first, and then it transform to xubuntu, right ? | 09:12 |
| Lachezar | abcdef: Xubuntu is an Ubuntu variant. But Xubuntu is an *ALTERNATIVE* to Windoze, not something you install *IN* Windoze. | 09:14 |
| abcdef | Oh | 09:16 |
| cfhowlett | abcdef so you COULD 1. install virtualbox in windows. 2. install xubuntu inside that virtualbox. | 09:17 |
| cfhowlett | or you could install xubuntu in a dual boot next to windows. | 09:17 |
| starrats | good morning everyone! | 09:19 |
| starrats | abcdef it's easier to burn an image on a dvd and install xubuntu 14.04, it will partition the HDD itself, just follow and read each 'panel' of the install | 09:25 |
| hmagoo | if I "lock version" in synaptic will that come in to play later on down the line if I do a dist-upgrade or something. I don't use the packages, but don't want to remove them. | 09:45 |

| nikolam | what you suggest for me to install in xubuntu, to provide easy remote help and suppport (I installed one fresh 14.04 laptop to the friend) | 11:00 |
| slickymasterWork | nikolam, xrdp server ( Remote Desktop Protocol Server). It allows to connect to your ubuntu box from any rdp client. | 11:03 |
| nikolam | aha, so i can use ssh tunneling with that? | 11:04 |
| nikolam | but user needs to tell me he's IP and port needs to be open to connect... | 11:04 |
| Yotson | anyone got an idea how to solve/troubleshoot a complete hanging of xubuntu on starting firefox or thunderbird? Removing .mozilla or .thunderbird helps sometimes but only once. | 11:04 |
| Yotson | google seems to return mostly older info. Not sure if applicable. | 11:05 |
| nikolam | I must then set up something like, listening VNC server, that opens connection to my machine somewhere on the internet... | 11:05 |
| slickymasterWork | nikolam: see this: xrdp setup over ssh (http://askubuntu.com/questions/202011/xrdp-setup-over-ssh) | 11:07 |
| koegs | or just use teamviewer :) | 11:42 |
| nikolam | koegs, yes or.. is there any alternatives to him? | 11:43 |
| koegs | chrome remote desktop | 11:44 |
| koegs | but for occasional user support i prefer teamviewer | 11:44 |
| nikolam | uh, it is available only in chrome, not chromium, right? | 11:52 |
| Yotson | any tips how to troubleshoot a complete hang of xubuntu (hard reset needed) on starting firefox and/or thunderbird? on starting screen is scrambled with horizontal lines. mostly greenish today.. :) | 12:14 |
| Luyin | Yotson: tried booting from a live system? | 12:31 |
| Yotson | Luyin, yup. Originally installed from it. :) | 12:37 |
| Yotson | and nope, cant remember nuking itself than. although i didn't try thunderbird in that situation. | 12:38 |
| Luyin | Yotson: what errors do you get when you start ff/thunderbird? | 12:39 |
| Yotson | impossible to see if there are any. start thunderbird -> horizontal lines on screen | 12:41 |
| Yotson | removing .thunderbird from home folder, starts nicely /once/ | 12:41 |
| Luyin | Yotson: open a terminal and enter "firefox" and paste it | 12:42 |
| Yotson | hangs, as in, not possible to see/copy/... anything. firefox -safe-mode starts fine for the first time, after that -bleh- | 12:43 |
| Yotson | to be clear, the whole os hangs not only the application. No terminal at ctrl-alt-F1 or at least no keyboard input. | 12:44 |
| Yotson | hardware was working fine under windows XP, hence why i tried xubuntu. lol | 12:45 |
| Yotson | but i'm at the point of applying some percussive maintenance... | 12:45 |
| Luyin | Yotson: what's the output of "firefox" in a terminal? | 12:47 |
| Yotson | like i tried to explain, no idea. scrambled screen | 12:47 |
| starrats | Yotson does your touchpad and keyboard lock-up/freeze on start-up and reboot? | 12:47 |
| PotatoHead | Hello world! | 12:48 |
| PotatoHead | Looking for some help with printer installation... It is hanging on install every time I attempt, regardless of USB or Wifi. | 12:49 |
| Yotson | starrats, cant say they do. When i see a cursor, i can move it. | 12:49 |
| starrats | ah okay | 12:49 |
| Yotson | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1176062 describes what i have here the closest. Although i don't see the short period where the mouse/keyboard is un responsive but screen isn't garbled yet. | 12:51 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1176062 in linux (Ubuntu) "System usually crashes when starting Firefox and/or Thunderbird" [High,Expired] | 12:51 |
| Luyin | Yotson: then it's probably something else | 12:52 |
| Luyin | Yotson: I'm still waiting for your report of what exactly your errors are when starting ff or tb. in the terminal, on the gui you won't get anything else than misbehaviour. | 12:53 |
| Yotson | to be very clear. i don't see any errors, be it i start ff/tb from desktop or cli. The moment i hit enter/click on launcher -> scrambled screen. | 12:55 |
| Yotson | so, i would love to give you a error message. no idea how i can get it 'out there' | 12:56 |
| starrats | Potatohead what printer are you trying to install and is this on xubuntu 14.04? | 12:56 |
| PotatoHead | NX515 and correct 14.04 | 12:57 |
| PotatoHead | sorry Epson Stylus NX515 | 12:57 |
| starrats | is it a wifi or hard wired printer ? | 12:58 |
| Luyin | Yotson: when you start ff via terminal, there is no output? | 12:58 |
| Yotson | scrambled screen, thats the only output i can see. | 12:58 |
| Luyin | (process:12144): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed I get when I try to open ff via terminal (ff opens normally anyway) | 12:58 |
| PotatoHead | It auto recognizes the printer and it finds drivers, but when I install, the 'printer install' hangs every time. I have tried installing both wired and wifi. With the wifi, I choose the printer out of the list of recognized devices. | 12:59 |
| PotatoHead | ..As opposed to choosing ipps,https etc.. | 12:59 |
| Yotson | Luyin, cant say i have that here or not. very little time between hitting enter and the garbled screen. | 13:00 |
| Yotson | very little -> too little to notice anything. | 13:01 |
| Luyin | Yotson: you can pipe the output into a text file. then you can see if there is anything interesting later. | 13:01 |
| Luyin | Yotson: perhaps checking the log files of X.org might help, too. | 13:01 |
| PotatoHead | If I turn off/on the printer I get the notification in the top right when it boots back up - "configuring new printer" then "No drivers installed" (not verbatim) | 13:03 |
| starrats | I do not know why it's not installing. If the printer is plugged via usb and is on and the computer is recognizing it and finds the drivers | 13:05 |
| starrats | but it's not installing, | 13:07 |
| PotatoHead | Could I attempt to install via command line and look to see where it is fudging up? | 13:07 |
| starrats | I'm not sure, maybe someone else has that answer. I have a 10 yr old Canon printer usb and Xubuntu captured it and got the drivers and it works just fine, so don't know on an Epson. | 13:08 |
| PotatoHead | I do hate this printer with a passion, so I blame it :). | 13:09 |
| PotatoHead | This guy had no problem with printer - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1524746 | 13:11 |
| Yotson | thanks for your effort. out of time and battery here... | 13:14 |
| starrats | Some printers are not as compatible with Xubuntu as others and they 'almost work' but there's an error somewhewre, I'm surprised that my old printer works with xubuntu. | 13:14 |
| PotatoHead | Interesting. The printer wizard is hanging if I choose 'local driver', instead of bringing me to an explorer to choose the file | 13:15 |

| xubuntu820 | got problem to install driver Nvidia on my Xubuntu 14 | 13:54 |
| Deepfriedice | xubuntu249, Sure. | 13:55 |
| xubuntu820 | I'm a real novice on it | 13:55 |
| xubuntu249 | I have two blank hard drives, both formatted and clean, no OS on either. I would like to dual boot Xubuntu on one hard drive and Windows 7 on the other. Will Xubuntu help me do that? | 13:56 |
| Grub_ | hi | 13:57 |
| Grub_ | I need some help with my xubuntu grub | 13:57 |
| Grub_ | is there anyone who can hel me? | 13:58 |
| koegs | xubuntu249: easiest way is: install windows first, then xubuntu, the installer will help you and grub will be able to boot both | 13:58 |
| Deepfriedice | xubuntu249, Dual-booting should be pretty easy if you have two separate hard drives. | 13:58 |
| Grub_ | thanks, I will explain my problem | 13:58 |
| xubuntu249 | Thanks, so with burning Xubuntu to a DVD and running it after installing Windows 7 to one hard drive, Xubuntu should help me set up the dual boot? | 13:59 |
| Grub_ | I installed Xubuntu in dual boot with windows, obviously I installed win first | 13:59 |
| koegs | xubuntu249: basically: yes | 13:59 |
| Grub_ | the I installe grub customizer | 13:59 |
| Deepfriedice | xubuntu249, It should do, though if you put Xubuntu on the other harddrive there shouldn't be much to set up. | 13:59 |
| xubuntu249 | Ok, I am brand new to Xubuntu, having tried Ubuntu and Mint, so wasn't sure how it would work with two hard drives with windoze on one. | 14:00 |
| Deepfriedice | xubuntu249, Grub should auto detect Windows, and Windows won't complain because you haven't changed anything on it's drive. | 14:00 |
| Grub_ | because I did this for a person who is not expert, I used GC to hide other boot, letting only Win and Ubuntu | 14:01 |
| Grub_ | but because i installed more ram, I wanted to do a memtest | 14:01 |
| xubuntu249 | Good, and thanks for the assurance, I want to have a Linux distro on my desktop and this seems like a good opportunity to install it, with two hard drives available for the two OS. | 14:01 |

| augis420 | any1 up for helping me with this? | 15:01 |
| augis420 | knome? | 15:04 |
| bazhang | did you md5 the iso augis420 | 15:04 |
| augis420 | yes, shure... but also i should mention that ive tryed the wubi instalation way... but i dont think so thats my problem...installation is starting, but on about half completed, laptop hangs... | 15:06 |
| bazhang | whats the graphic card, I doubt thats the issue though | 15:07 |
| bold_ | is there a way to install sgminer with nvidia? | 15:08 |
| augis420 | i realy dont know... but my laptop is pretty old... | 15:08 |
| bazhang | cudaminer is what you would want iirc | 15:09 |
| augis420 | i have packled bell easy note with 480 mb ram, about 16gb free space on hdd and i gues 1.4 yhz proc...thats all i know... | 15:12 |
| augis420 | should boot from dvd will help?or thats a graphical issue? | 15:13 |
| bazhang | thats mighty small amount of ram | 15:13 |
| bazhang | perhaps lubuntu would be a better fit | 15:13 |
| augis420 | but wiki says, that u can run xubuntu even on 64mb ram...thats why i want to try this os...maybe laptop will run more faster thanwinxp | 15:15 |
| ElderDryas | augis420: Did you ever think of checking the Xubuntu site for requirements? "To install and run the Xubuntu 12.04 release, it is strongly recommended to have at least 512 MB of memory. Installing with the alternate or Minimal CD requires you to have only 128 MB of memory" | 15:18 |
| ElderDryas | And as bazhang said, one of the distros speciallizing in low footprints would be a better option (at least less frustrating).. | 15:19 |

| ElderDryas | which reminds me, why does it say 12.04? :) | 15:20 |
| augis420 | ive found the way how to install 14.04 xubuntu with wubi tricking it with lubuntu...may this couse the problem to? | 15:20 |
| bazhang | as the alternate no longer exists, it'd be the mini cd, then build up | 15:20 |
| knome | augis420, yes. | 15:20 |
| bazhang | augis420, dont bother with wubi | 15:20 |
| augis420 | so if i will try dvd xubuntu installation it would bring me better results? | 15:22 |
| bazhang | no | 15:22 |
| augis420 | so lubuntu is what should end my problem with installation? | 15:23 |

| augis420 | hmm... | 15:23 |
| ElderDryas | augis420: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu See "System Requirements" | 15:24 |
| augis420 | cant it be a problem, that im installing double os?winxp and xubuntu? | 15:25 |
| ElderDryas | Not if you're doing it correctly, lots of folks dual boot with no problems. | 15:26 |
| ElderDryas | It's more likely a hardware issue. | 15:27 |
| augis420 | also many folks says that wubi way of installalling xubuntu 14.04 not recomended and may couse issues....cant it be so? | 15:28 |
| bazhang | avoid wubi | 15:28 |
| ElderDryas | like the plague | 15:28 |
| xangua | augis420: wubi has been unmaintained for two years and is incompatible with uefi | 15:29 |
| augis420 | omg...my laptop also sometimes shot downs imediately, maybe its wubi cause this? | 15:29 |
| bazhang | or a completely overmatched old laptop | 15:30 |
| augis420 | ive also tryed unetboot program, but same sh*t...laptop gangs wit very colorfull image.lol | 15:31 |
| ElderDryas | augis420: In all honestly, bazhang's absolutely correct...I'd really suggest trying something like lubuntu, puppy, something with really low system requirements. | 15:33 |
| augis420 | and one more question...ive didnt read anything about lubuntu. but as i understand i can use all the warez like ubuntu ane etc...or it have some limitations? | 15:36 |
| ElderDryas | Here's a starting list (but be careful, I see a couple of distros that I don't consider low system requirements) http://distrowatch.com/search.php?ostype=Linux&category=Old+Computers&origin=All&basedon=All¬basedon=None&desktop=All&architecture=All&status=Active | 15:36 |
| ElderDryas | augis420: "warez" is another problem. Just because you can install a distro and an application is in their repos doesn't mean you can actually use the application easily...i.e., with 480 mb of RAM, I doubt that you could run something like GIMP really well. | 15:40 |
| augis420 | ive found a lmms. can i run it with my laptop?ive tryed with winxp, but...u imagine the result.. | 15:41 |
| ElderDryas | and what is a "lmms" ? | 15:42 |
| bazhang | audacious is what you want not lmms | 15:43 |
| bazhang | !lmms | 15:43 |
| augis420 | *linux music making studio or smth like that | 15:43 |
| bazhang | its much like winamp | 15:43 |
| ElderDryas | ah...winamp...those were the days :) | 15:44 |
| augis420 | no my interest is music making | 15:45 |
| ElderDryas | augis420: http://lmms.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Requirements Looks like "no, not well" | 15:45 |
| ElderDryas | and if your interest is "music making", that laptop is just not going to cut it, no matter what distro you install. | 15:46 |
| bazhang | with that amount of ram, that wont be happening. you could play mp3 | 15:46 |
| augis420 | just 2 more questions and im out...i guess my unknowing realy annoying.ok?(ok thats not 1 of those 2 questions) | 15:46 |
| ElderDryas | that was a statement, not a question :) | 15:47 |
| bazhang | nope , not annoying at all | 15:47 |
| bazhang | we live for this | 15:47 |
| augis420 | u realy friendly ppl. on internet i read that linux users are not friendly...dislike for that! | 15:48 |
| bazhang | thats very nice of you to say augis420 | 15:49 |
| augis420 | what about using windows apps on linux? does emulation uses more ram? | 15:49 |
| ElderDryas | yes | 15:50 |
| augis420 | much? | 15:50 |
| cfhowlett | augis420 if you have to ask ... | 15:51 |
| bazhang | !wine | augis420 | 15:52 |
| ubottu | augis420: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 15:52 |
| augis420 | hm...doesnt matter...my music making will be continued on more effective laptop....my next(last) question is about flash on lubuntu. can i watch movies online with no problem? | 15:53 |
| xubuntu389 | hallo everybody | 15:53 |
| cfhowlett | augis420 sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras for all the required codecs | 15:54 |
| xubuntu389 | i've installed bodhi on my old pc | 15:54 |
| ElderDryas | augis420: You'd be better off asking on #lubuntu, and it depends what what/where you're watching...youtube, no problem, netflix, big problem :) | 15:55 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu389 bodhi is not supported here. sorry | 15:55 |
| xubuntu389 | and now i want to install xubuntu instead of bodhy | 15:55 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu389 OK - your question??? | 15:55 |
| xubuntu389 | and now i want to install xubuntu instead of bodhy | 15:55 |
| xubuntu389 | but there's a problem: i install bodhi with plop, because usb and cd don't work as bios | 15:56 |
| cfhowlett | !install | 15:56 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 15:56 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu389 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux | 15:57 |
| xubuntu389 | thanks very much for this link http://tinyurl.com/3exghs | 15:58 |
| xubuntu389 | if i've problem can i ask in this chat? | 15:58 |

| cfhowlett | augis420 you HAVE looked at ubuntu studio, right? | 15:58 |
| augis420 | no,i dont know ubuntu studio | 15:59 |
| cfhowlett | augis420 www.ubuntustudio.org | 15:59 |
| bazhang | he only has 480mb of ram cfhowlett | 15:59 |
| xubuntu389 | can you give me the link of download of xubuntu no pae? | 16:00 |
| cfhowlett | bazhang d'oh! | 16:00 |
| cfhowlett | augis420 little incentive to start saving up for a computer upgrade ... | 16:00 |
| xubuntu389 | can you tell me a version of xubuntu no pae? | 16:02 |
| ElderDryas | xubuntu389: "Lubuntu and Xubuntu offered a PAE and a non-PAE release up to and including 12.04, but from 12.10 only the PAE releases are maintained" from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE | 16:02 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu389 so 12.04 non-pae is still supported. | 16:03 |
| xubuntu389 | where i download it? | 16:03 |
| ElderDryas | and it's got, what, another year on support? | 16:04 |
| xubuntu389 | if i click on "Download" it redirect me on xubuntu 14.04 | 16:04 |
| cfhowlett | ElderDryas about that - | 16:04 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu389 http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/12.04/release/ | 16:05 |
| ElderDryas | xubuntu389: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/12.04/release/ | 16:05 |
| ElderDryas | cfhowlett: Yes? | 16:05 |
| cfhowlett | ElderDryas yeah I just saw that error. sorry. | 16:06 |
| xubuntu389 | thank you. it isn't pae version, is it? | 16:06 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu389 us the xubuntu link. My auto-complete is incorrect | 16:06 |
| xubuntu389 | ok | 16:07 |
| xubuntu389 | it seems strange, 1 hour! | 16:07 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu389 ??? 1 hour for ... what? | 16:07 |
| xubuntu389 | 1 hour for download | 16:08 |
| ElderDryas | I've found that the archived versions (and dailies, sometimes) can be a bit slow downloading | 16:09 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu389 torrent's are frequently faster ... | 16:09 |
| xubuntu389 | a question: here http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html for xubuntu wich file i have to select | 16:10 |
| xubuntu389 | look at 2) | 16:10 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu389 OLD OLD link | 16:10 |
| xubuntu389 | can you tell me the newest link? | 16:11 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu389 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux | 16:11 |
| xubuntu389 | where i have to look exactly? | 16:13 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu389 that link gives you the exact method. start on the first line ... | 16:13 |
| xubuntu389 | but there a lot a lot a lot of lines... | 16:14 |
| ElderDryas | and here's some more lines... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation | 16:16 |
| xubuntu389 | i have a problem | 16:25 |
| xubuntu389 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux#Procedure_2 look at step 2 | 16:25 |
| xubuntu389 | where i found it? | 16:26 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu389 "it"? | 16:26 |
| xubuntu389 | where i grab initrd.gz | 16:27 |
| ElderDryas | cfhowlett: The instructions he's referring to are OLD (This procedure was used for Hardy. It may be adaptable for Gutsy) he can't find the files they talk about. | 16:28 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu389 ElderDryas I thought this was the most current link. If there's a new one, I don't see it. sorry for any confusion caused. | 16:28 |
| xubuntu389 | one moment. | 16:29 |
| xubuntu389 | i have to read installation "Without CD" | 16:29 |
| ElderDryas | cfhowlett: I think it is...but it's still old :) xubuntu389 the last link I posted has many install methods, take a look. | 16:30 |
| xubuntu389 | or "Procedure 1,2" | 16:30 |

| sleezio | hello, is there an 'active desktop' app for x/ubuntu? for like...using an animated gif for wallpaper? | 17:12 |
| sleezio | ...animated gif from a url...that can update itself every x amount of minutes | 17:12 |
| David-A | sleezio: (non-answer) a long time ago, it was possible to uncheck "let xfce control desktop background" and then run a video as background with e.g. mplayer -rootwin -nosound -noconsolecontrols | 17:16 |
| David-A | sleezio: nowadays, I don't know | 17:16 |
| sleezio | thanks | 17:17 |
| David-A | sleezio: come back. there is a solution e.g here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-331632-start-0.html | 17:26 |
| mynyml | i'm unable to pair a bluetooth keyboard with xubuntu 14.04. the blueman assistant gives me numbers to input from the keyboard but it always fails. i can otherwise connect the device using "proceed without pairing", so i know the connection itself works. | 18:06 |
| mynyml | there is a bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/blueman/+bug/438124) but no workaround has been proposed in the thread. One alternative i've seen mentioned somewhere else is to pair using the bluez-gnome applet but it seems to be unavailable in 14.04 | 18:09 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 438124 in Blueman "Connecting bluetooth keyboard fails at passkey input" [Undecided,Fix committed] | 18:09 |
| mynyml | if anyone has suggestions for a workaround it would be very appreciated. | 18:10 |
| DomiX | hi, how do I made private home directory for my users ? chmod is the only way ? | 19:46 |
| pleia2 | DomiX: if you want to change the default for every new user, you chmod the permissions of the /etc/skel directory to be what you want, ie 600 | 19:49 |
| pleia2 | the /etc/skel directory is what is copied exactly for each new user, including the permissions | 19:49 |
| pleia2 | (of course /etc/skel is owned by root, and users homedirs are owned by them) | 19:49 |
| pleia2 | I'd also recommend editing /etc/skel/.profile so that the umask is correct too | 19:50 |
| DomiX | there is no graphical way ? | 19:51 |
| pleia2 | I don't know | 19:52 |
| DomiX | if I change the default UMASK in login.defs Public will not be visible | 19:55 |
| starrats | breaking the fall colors of orange and yellow in and outs, lol | 23:44 |
