| Bosi | Hello everyone. I have a netbook with an ATOM N450 1.6ghz on it. I only have 2Gb of RAM in it though. Would you install Xubuntu 32 or 64 bit? Why? | 00:59 |
|---|---|---|
| genii | Bosi: I have an Acer Aspire D260 with same chip, I put 64 bit on without problems. | 01:01 |
| Bosi | genii, Yeah, I asked a few people they have mixed opinions about it. Some say it will suck up my RAM, some say I should put my processor to work at its full potencial... what do you think the upsides and downsides are? | 01:03 |
| genii | Since i never had 32bit on it, can't really make a comparison for you there. All I can say is that it works well under 64bit and i have no issues. | 01:04 |
| Bosi | any other opinions? | 01:05 |
| wllrt | I'm running xubuntu 14.04 on a thinkpad A30 and looking to not use the ctrl-key as to avoid Emacs pinky. Some suggest using the Caps Lock, others the space bar. Any emacs users here, I'd definitely appreciate orienting me in the right direction. | 01:30 |
| ObrienDave | Emacs pinky | 01:30 |
| ObrienDave | ?. | 01:30 |
| ObrienDave | LOL fat fingers ;P | 01:31 |
| wllrt | ObrienDave: To avoid repititive stress injury, since the ctrl+key makes you (at least in this keyboard) stretch your pinky. | 01:32 |
| wllrt | My left pinky is the strongest, and I feel it straining. | 01:32 |
| wllrt | So far, this looks promising: http://emacsredux.com/blog/2013/11/12/a-crazy-productivity-boost-remap-return-to-control/ | 01:39 |

| pjotter | Hello Everybody. In order for me to upgrade to the latest LTS release, I first have to upgrade my graphics card. Right now I am using an onboard ATI Radeon HD 3200. What would be a good brand/model for me to look for? I'm not really into gaming and don't need a very expansive card. Just one that works well with Xubuntu. | 16:01 |
| brainwash | pjotter: how do you know that your current one won't work well with xubuntu 14.04? | 16:03 |
| pjotter | I've tried. It has something to do with the new kernel. The model I use isn't supported any more. | 16:03 |
| pjotter | There are no proprietary drivers available for the new kernel. | 16:04 |
| brainwash | right, it's not supported by the restricted graphics driver anymore, but the open source driver has been improved a lot and is now in good shape | 16:04 |
| pjotter | Ok | 16:04 |
| brainwash | so, I recommend that you get the 14.04 iso and boot into live mode to test it | 16:05 |
| brainwash | the open source driver is loaded automatically | 16:05 |
| pjotter | Up until now, I have always noticed a big difference between using the standard driver and the proprietary driver. The latter being much much faster and supporting all kinds of functionality. | 16:06 |
| brainwash | it's still true, kinda, but the difference is small nowadays | 16:07 |
| brainwash | even proper power management is supported now | 16:08 |
| pjotter | Does the standard driver have settings I can change? Wait for vertical refresh and that kind of thing? | 16:08 |
| brainwash | that's possible, but not via a GUI I think | 16:09 |
| pjotter | ok | 16:09 |
| pjotter | But there would be no major problems if I just went out and bought one of the latest ATI graphics cards and use that one instead of the onboard card? | 16:10 |
| brainwash | latest graphics cards are known to cause trouble | 16:13 |
| pjotter | ok :) | 16:13 |
| brainwash | you could buy one which is a bit older and has good reviews | 16:13 |
| pjotter | Any particular brand/model I should avoid? | 16:14 |
| brainwash | hard to tell | 16:17 |
| brainwash | you can check http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=category&item=Graphics%20Cards | 16:19 |
| pjotter | Thanks! I'll have a look | 16:20 |
| pumkash | Question. How do I add Kali tools to Xubuntu distro? | 16:28 |
| xubuntu494 | How do I derermine whether I am running a 32 bit or 64 bit version of xubuntu | 16:36 |
| elfy | arch | 16:40 |
| xubuntu494 | Does i686 mean 64 bit? | 16:43 |
| elfy | x86_64 is 64 bit - i686 is 32bit | 16:43 |
| xubuntu494 | Thank you | 16:44 |

| ShinuSha_ | hey there to all users | 18:03 |
| ShinuSha_ | I would need help with xubuntu 14.04. Tried solving the problem for 2 days now without any solution. Its a problem with downloading packages, selecting another mirror,... Could someone help me? Best way would be a private chat or something else. | 18:07 |
| ObrienDave | ok, selecting another mirror is easy | 18:09 |
| ShinuSha_ | The problem is that it doesnt show any other and bz clicking select best it throws an error too | 18:10 |
| ShinuSha_ | *by | 18:10 |
| zeracca | mirrors are in /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:10 |
| ShinuSha_ | tried playing around with them too. Is it allowed to post the full error? | 18:11 |
| ObrienDave | if it's one line, yes. more than one, please use pastebin | 18:12 |
| ShinuSha_ | how do i use that? | 18:13 |
| ObrienDave | do you have pastebinit installed? | 18:14 |
| ObrienDave | sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 18:14 |
| ObrienDave | or copy and paste the error to pastebin.com and submit the link here | 18:15 |
| ShinuSha_ | ok, ill get it in one line either so -> by selecting other in ubuntu software center it displays an empty window and by clicking select best it displays No suitable download server was found, Please check your internet connection | 18:17 |
| ObrienDave | so, it's saying that you have no access to any mirrors? | 18:18 |
| ShinuSha_ | correct. The internet connection works im writing right now from it | 18:19 |
| ObrienDave | yes, that's a new one on me. please try asking in main channel. #ubuntu | 18:21 |
| ShinuSha_ | ok thanks for your help anyway. Do zou know how i install play on linux? Error-> http://pastebin.com/r5rAt0jJ | 18:23 |
| ObrienDave | just through the normal PPA | 18:24 |
| ShinuSha_ | could you explain it step by step? Im really sad that nothing had worked for me so far. | 18:25 |
| voidwalkr | was anyone successful in running ms office 2010 through wine without problems or glitches? is there a mac office that you can run directly maybe from linux? | 18:25 |
| ObrienDave | ShinuSha_, http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/playonlinux | 18:26 |
| ObrienDave | voidwalkr, why do that?, install LibreOffice | 18:26 |
| voidwalkr | i can't work on that it's very ugly | 18:27 |
| voidwalkr | it's monstrous | 18:27 |
| ObrienDave | it works | 18:28 |
| voidwalkr | i don't care, its a creative inspiration killer | 18:28 |
| voidwalkr | i need to be inspired when i write | 18:28 |
| voidwalkr | need eye candy | 18:28 |
| ObrienDave | ok fine | 18:28 |
| voidwalkr | was anyone ever able to get office 2010 working properly on linux or no? | 18:29 |
| voidwalkr | from the videos i see on youtube, it's very glitchy | 18:29 |
| voidwalkr | it's horrible | 18:29 |
| voidwalkr | i love linux, but i ain't switching permanently until there is good office suite for it | 18:30 |
| ShinuSha_ | i tried it ObrienDave Result -> http://pastebin.com/itUS8KhS | 18:30 |
| voidwalkr | i wonder if PearOS supports mac office | 18:30 |
| ObrienDave | ShinuSha_, run "sudo apt-get -f install" | 18:32 |
| ShinuSha_ | Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 18:33 |
| ObrienDave | ok, sec | 18:33 |
| ObrienDave | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa | 18:34 |
| ObrienDave | sudo apt-get update | 18:35 |
| ObrienDave | sudo apt-get install wine1.7 | 18:35 |
| ShinuSha_ | same output -> Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) | 18:36 |
| ObrienDave | sounds like your sources.list file is corrupted. sec | 18:37 |
| ObrienDave | look here http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php | 18:37 |
| ObrienDave | i do not know how to overwrite the file | 18:38 |
| ObrienDave | biab | 18:41 |
| ShinuSha_ | per terminal | 18:41 |
| ShinuSha_ | sources.list should be ok now. i will try it again | 18:44 |
| ObrienDave | ok | 18:45 |
| ShinuSha_ | no it stays the same (but finally it is searching for it on DE mirrors by default) | 18:48 |
| zeracca | have you tried purging the ppa? | 18:52 |
| ShinuSha_ | how do i do that? Im programmer but im relative new to linux | 18:54 |
| zeracca | by googling it says sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:whatever/ppa | 18:55 |
| Pici | !ppapurge | 18:59 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 18:59 |
| ShinuSha_ | It adds it but it doesnt change anything could the errors occur cause of an arm based cpu? | 18:59 |
| Pici | at least in trusty, wine is only available for amd64 and i386. | 19:01 |
| zeracca | ^ | 19:02 |
| ObrienDave | dang, never thought to ask what cpu :/ | 19:02 |
| zeracca | how could you know anyway :) | 19:02 |
| ShinuSha_ | so i cannot download it though? | 19:03 |
| zeracca | To be honest, I don't know, but it seems like it doesnt work for you | 19:05 |
| ShinuSha_ | but iwanted to plaz wot with it x( | 19:06 |
| ShinuSha_ | bye | 19:07 |
| yoLo_ | notebook doesn't come out of sleep mode | 22:31 |
| yoLo_ | can anybody fix this / | 22:31 |
| yoLo_ | ? | 22:31 |
| Travis | I am having the same issue. | 22:32 |
| Travis | 12.04 never did this. | 22:33 |
| yoLo_ | this is driving me crazy.. | 22:34 |
| yoLo_ | at certain times it works, most of the time it doesn't work | 22:34 |
| yoLo_ | previous versions never did this.. | 22:35 |
| yoLo_ | i should probably go back to xubuntu 13.10 | 22:35 |
| Travis | 13.10 does it too | 22:35 |
| yoLo_ | it never did it for me | 22:35 |
| Travis | According to the website, 12.04 is supported until April 2015 | 22:36 |
| Travis | Unless that's wrong. | 22:36 |
| Travis | I may go back to 12.04, just for that reason. | 22:36 |
| yoLo_ | i never had the intention to upgrade to 14.04 until lastweek when my OS was installing updates and my laptop hibernated due to low battery | 22:37 |
| Travis | I know that 12.04 doesn't do it for one reason. CHIRP (a popular ham radio program) has a live CD that uses 12.04 | 22:38 |
| yoLo_ | guess 14.04 not stable after all | 22:38 |
| Travis | nope | 22:38 |
| yoLo_ | are there people in here that can help ? | 22:39 |
| Travis | You have to wait around. | 22:39 |
| yoLo_ | or this channel is just a hang ut ? | 22:39 |
| yoLo_ | i'm assuming ikonia is the genius here | 22:39 |
| Travis | This is one reason I love to test it. I have a Panasonic Toughbook CF-29. I can run 14.04 just fine, until I want to close my laptop lid. | 22:40 |
| Travis | My gf hates it when I use Mr. Satan on her network. | 22:40 |
| yoLo_ | :| | 22:40 |
