[01:21] I am having trouble with the live USB === HoloIRCUser is now known as KJK === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:23] For whatever reason it is asking for a username / password. I have tried "ubuntu" and "xubuntu" [01:23] Any ideas? [01:25] Is nobody here ;_; [01:50] KJK: should be asked for a password.. what are you doing? what are you seeing? [01:52] It is a live USB installed. It never let me set a name/pass, it just asks for it in the normal login screen. I just made the USB a few hours ago. [01:52] KJK: ? [01:52] KJK: there is no such thing as a "live USB installed" [01:52] KJK: what do you have? a live USB? or an installed system? [01:52] Mobile typo. A live USB. Not installed [01:52] Sorry [01:53] KJK: how did you make it? [01:53] I torrented it from the torrent.Ubuntu website, and made it with unetbootin [01:57] KJK: consider confirming your iso.. [01:57] !md5 | KJK [01:57] KJK: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:57] KJK: and dd copy the iso to the USB stick [01:58] Okay. Will do. Thanks! [02:40] Anyone by any chance running a theme on their xfce4 terminal? Looking at installing this one, but the instructions are not to clear: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-xfce4-terminal [02:51] holstein: That worked! Thanks! Unetbootin must have some problems [02:53] Anyone by any chance running a theme on their xfce4 terminal? Looking at installing this one, but the instructions are not to clear: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-xfce4-terminal [02:53] Anyone by any chance running a theme on their xfce4 terminal? Looking at installing this one, but the instructions are not to clear: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-xfce4-terminal [02:54] ^^ sorry for repeat. [02:55] js_doode: Should be able to drop a theme file in ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/colorschemes/ [02:56] Unit193: so if I create directory "colorschemes" and dropt that file from the link provided ^^, I should be fine? [02:56] *drop [02:56] Ah, terminalrc files, so you can just overwrite .config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc [02:58] Unit193: Well the default terminalrc file in ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc has some content like [Configuration] blah blah, but this terminalrc file provided on the link, anyone really, is more like an html file. [02:59] Unit193: So, I'm just confused whether to blank out the default terminalrc file and just paste that info in, or paste below the default [Configuration] stuff. :/ [03:00] Unit193: nvm, I just read your message. [03:00] js_doode: Just overwrite the dupe lines. [03:00] Unit193: I will try. [03:00] js_doode: If you want to keep other defaults, I recommend you leave them there. As seen in the installation instructions: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-xfce4-terminal/blob/master/README.md [03:01] Unit193: Ok. I first created a backup of that terminalrc, so if anything goes wonky, I'll just revert back. But I guess it makes sense what you're saying. Maybe I was just reading those instructions wrong. [03:02] js_doode: Also, the Xubuntu default one is /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc [03:03] js_doode: good to know. thanks. [03:03] :) [03:04] Unit193: Xubuntu 14.04 rocks. I'm running it on a Thinkpad A30, ancient hardware. [03:05] Heh, glad you like it. [03:05] Unit193: Any chance or anyone here, have a good terminal color scheme that plays well with tmux? [03:06] I just use the stock old Xfce one. [03:10] Unit193: I'm such a dufas. I had wget the file, rather than clicking on it via that github link. :( [03:10] Hah, nice. Yeah, there will be a 'raw' link you can wget. [03:12] * js_doode <3's xubuntu 14.04 [03:14] Very clean-looking. Kudos to all the Xubuntu Devs. here here! [03:21] What would be the most effective way for me to install a newer version of Firefox in Xubuntu 14.04? [03:22] js_doode: you shouldnt have to. ff gets updates.. there is a ppa [03:22] holstein: oh? [03:23] holstein: I'm pretty much setting my environment of for web dev. [03:23] *up for [03:23] js_doode: ok.. enjoy [03:24] holstein: No, I didn't mean as in right now :), just wanted to mention that. [03:25] holstein: Current ff version I'm running is 28.0 but I know there's a 29, I don't know much about ppa, any idea where I can find more info on this? [03:26] js_doode: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-next for example [03:26] js_doode: you can check that you are up to date with upgrades.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade , in a terminal [03:27] Firefox is kept up to date in the repos. [03:27] !info firefox [03:27] firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 29.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.2 (trusty), package size 28361 kB, installed size 74674 kB [03:27] holstein: ^^ In terms of firefox? [03:27] js_doode: thats what i was saying [03:28] js_doode: ff is kept updated. you shouldnt need to do anything to get the most current [03:28] js_doode: try and update your system. you can do that with the command i gave [03:28] js_doode: if you find you want a different version for some reason, read about the ppa from mozilla [03:29] holstein: I've done the sudo apt-get update, just not the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --> assuming the last one is to update distro. [03:29] js_doode: no, its not [03:29] js_doode: its to do, precisely, what i said it would do [03:29] holstein: Ok. [03:29] holstein: I too will read up on the ppa from mozilla. Thanks :) [03:29] js_doode: it will, as well as with other packages, upgrade them.. so, for example, you will get firefox upgraded to the most recent available in the rpos [03:30] js_doode: you will get newer kernels.. newer whatever is available to the current version you are using.. 14.04, i assume [03:30] js_doode: yes 14.04 [03:31] holstein: yes 14.04 [03:31] :) [03:31] What about Google Chrome up to date, is that doable? [03:32] js_doode: chrome is not in the repos.. you install the .deb from chrome, and the sources are added.. basically, it adds its own ppa, or source.. so, then, when you run the command i gave, you again, get the most recent updated versions of *everything* that is avialable [03:32] Google Chrome comes from their own repo, which is up to them to keep updated. [03:32] and, they usually do fine with keeping it up to date [03:33] Unit193: So I wouldn't install it from ppa right? [03:33] js_doode: correct.. you wouldnt. you would install if from the .deb i referenced above [03:33] holstein: Gotcha. [03:33] js_doode: https://www.google.com/intl/en-US/chrome/browser/ [03:33] js_doode: Something it can do that chromium doesn't? [03:34] Unit193: Not really. Chromium is cool. Is that installed by default? [03:34] Nope, but it's in default repos. [03:34] Unit193: Ok.

Until this laptop croaks. Thinkpad a30 --> really milking it till it goes kaput! ^-^ [07:13] Looking to launch an application from the launcher that I manually installed. Looking at these 1-yr old instructions: http://tutorialforlinux.com/2013/05/13/linux-xubuntu-howto-create-app-launcher-on-main-menu/ Is this still a viable way? Running Xubuntu 14.04 [07:39] js_doode: links not loading for me. You installed an application manually as in ./configure make make install? [07:57] poeticrpm: I followed this post:http://www.libre-software.net/how-to-install-firefox-on-ubuntu-linux-mint [07:58] js_doode: simplest way is just to go to /opt and look for the firefox folder [07:59] when you type: "firefox" in the terminal for example, you are really executing /usr/bin/firefox [07:59] in the case of Arch which im on right now, /usr/bin/firefox is actually just a symlink to /usr/lib/firefox/firefox, but I digress. [07:59] poeticrpm: I know. I would just not rather run it from terminal. Just my preference. [08:00] js_doode: it works the same for a launcher. Where you put in the "command" option, just type the full path. so: /opt/firefox/firefox for example [08:01] * js_doode poeticrpm: Arch pretty tough? [08:01] js_doode: Arch requires you to be informed, but it isnt hard. Im an average dude and I get along with it fine [08:02] Xubuntu is mindlessly easy, and that has its benefits too [08:02] poeticrpm: I put the symlink path when I ran the create new gui launcher, but now I pres the new "Firefox29" and it still takes me to version 28. :/ [08:02] I have Xubuntu 14.04 installed as a recovery system on an external hard drive, and run Debian testing and Arch on my ssd. anyways [08:03] js_doode: ok, what happens if you type it into the terminal? [08:03] just as a test [08:03] poeticrpm: let me try... [08:05] js_doode: might I ask why you are installing 28? [08:05] if youre like me, you prolly hate the new changes in 29 [08:05] im running 28 myself [08:05] 2 things to consider: does Xubuntu have firefox-esr? [08:06] and have you ever heard of apt-pinning? [08:08] poeticrpm: I don't know about Xubuntu having firefox-esr and no, I haven't heard of apt-pinning. I am wanting to run 29, to see how website differ, since I do website design and dev. [08:09] firefox-esr is version 24 until late july [08:09] apt-pinning allows you to freeze a package and apt will ignore upgrading it [08:09] but if you want 29, why install 28? [08:12] poeticrpm: Xubuntu 14.04 came with version 28 by default, I want to install Firefox version 29. And I don't want to upgrade via PPA, because that goes up to beta which is 30. [08:14] js_doode: My Xubuntu 14.04 has 29 installed right now straight from the repos. I didnt bother to stay with 28 there [08:14] js_doode sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will get it [08:14] Maybe you just need to upgrade? [08:14] js_doode as well as all other upgradeable packages [08:14] cfhowlett: Ok. Thank you. [08:14] indeed- simply upgrading will get you 29 [08:15] poeticrpm: I think that's what I was told earlier. I'm just hard-headed. [08:15] cfhowlett, poeticrpm, thanks :) [08:15] js_doode happy to help [08:17] js_doode: no problem [08:19] cfhowlett: mind if I ask how I can remove the gui launcher I created for my supposed install of firefox29 before I run the upgrade? [08:20] js_doode right-click, delete IINM [08:22] cfhowlett: let me specify running 14.04, I did not add it to the browser group nor did I make it the default browser icon. I created an icon "firefox29" and the only way I find it is through typing it in the launcher search bar. [08:22] cfhowlett: I right-cick and don't see "delete IINM" [08:23] js_doode IINM = If I'm Not Mistaken. [08:24] When I'm right-clicking, all I see is"Add to favorites" "Add to Desktop" "Add to Panel" [08:24] cfhowlett: Ok. Totally missed that acronym. ^-^ [08:24] js_doode go into Nautilus or thunar, navigate to your launcher and delete. [08:24] :) [08:24] cfhowlett: ^^but this is xfce4 [08:25] js_doode same same [08:25] cfhowlett: sorry. thunar == file manager. gotcha.

[14:18] nicklas_ around 8 GB each. install one, then install the alternate desktop environment to see what it looks/feels like [14:19] cfhowlett: i have a ultrabook, with 24 gb ssd and 700ich gb hdd, dont want the os to be too big, so i can fit it on the ssd, plus some games, and use the hdd as /home [14:21] nicklas_ 24 gig is plenty - even vanilla ubuntu runs only around 12 gigs without /home/data ... [14:24] cfhowlett: are you talking about xubuntu or kubuntu now? [14:24] nicklas_ no ubuntu with unity is a bit heavier [14:26] cfhowlett: i did have xubuntu installed, but first there was this bug with software properties, and it did not want to show installable drivers in software tab, a bug that has been reported already, i did the manual fix (change the config manually), but then it updated the config, and the bug was back, and it borked nvidia settings too, so i threw xubuntu in the trash [14:27] nicklas_ try lubuntu also quite light [14:27] think it was issues with some gtk stuff, so thought id give kubuntu (qt) instead to avoid that gtk bug [14:27] cfhowlett: thats too lightweight for me, then i might as well go openbox or fluxbox, been using them in the past [14:27] nicklas_ you've got enough space on the 24 gigs to install any ubuntu flavor - so long as you put /home elsewhere [14:28] cfhowlett: yeah [14:28] 6gb is enough to install any base of any 'buntu [14:28] including home [14:28] cfhowlett: but kde has some stuff i find annoying, plus most apps i use are gtk, docky or cairo-.dock, gufw and others [14:29] nicklas_ options and choices ... :) [14:30] yeah, but then if i want to install all the oss shooters, plus some other games maybe, then i want to be sure i have enough space, thats why i went with xubuntu instead of kubuntu on it, but if xubuntu takes almost as much space, then whats the point, plus i can avoid those annoying bugs [14:31] nicklas_ you'd have to install a ton of games to eat up 12 gigs [14:31] ya know GridCube and cfhowlett ;-) [14:32] yeah maybe, oss games dont take so much space, the steam games install on /home anyway so [14:32] but regular ubuntu isnt an option for me [14:33] i want a desktop, not a shell [14:34] anyone knows if that bug with the additional drivers tab crashing because of a typo in the config file for software properties have been solved? [14:38] this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1268134 is fixed?

[14:48] nicklas_: i would expect them to be different sizes [15:57] Just want to say thanks! Xubuntu 14.04 is perfect, upgraded from 12.04 the other day and have no complaints! Everyone involved in Xubuntu is awesome, thanks for not changing things like every other distro. Thanks to every upstream project that makes this distro possible! [15:57] yay [15:57] nicklas_ : apps with kde tend to be heavier on resource use than xubuntu's default stuff, I think. Lots of extra dependencies. [16:40] is there no way to make the damn ui in firefox have less padding in xubuntu [16:41] the only browser with significantly smaller url+bookmarks+menu is chromium but webgl doesn't work with it [16:41] it's mainly the humongous tabs that are in the way, and bookmark padding [17:33] I've upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10, and keyboard input is too slow, missing letters.

(e.g. terminal or text editor?) have you verified with system monitor that the system is not under heavy load? [23:27] David-A:When i am writing here, yes, terminal too, and browser bar too. I've ran "top" command, and i don't see any significant processes, which are "heavy" and block the system. [23:28] David-A:I've seen people turning off "slow keys" function under Ubuntu, but i can't find it here.
