[00:59] 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? [01:01] Bosi: I have an Acer Aspire D260 with same chip, I put 64 bit on without problems. [01:03] 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? [01:04] 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. [01:05] any other opinions? [01:30] 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] Emacs pinky [01:30] ?. [01:31] LOL fat fingers ;P [01:32] ObrienDave: To avoid repititive stress injury, since the ctrl+key makes you (at least in this keyboard) stretch your pinky. [01:32] My left pinky is the strongest, and I feel it straining. [01:39] So far, this looks promising: http://emacsredux.com/blog/2013/11/12/a-crazy-productivity-boost-remap-return-to-control/ === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [07:13] how r u [08:12] Hi.

I canot print, I keep getting this message: there is a missing print filter for printer Stylus-DX4800. What am I missing? === the_bz is now known as bezet === WLM|zzzzz is now known as WLM === WLM is now known as WLM|weg [16:01] 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. [16:03] pjotter: how do you know that your current one won't work well with xubuntu 14.04? [16:03] I've tried. It has something to do with the new kernel. The model I use isn't supported any more. [16:04] There are no proprietary drivers available for the new kernel. [16:04] 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] Ok [16:05] so, I recommend that you get the 14.04 iso and boot into live mode to test it [16:05] the open source driver is loaded automatically [16:06] 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. [16:07] it's still true, kinda, but the difference is small nowadays [16:08] even proper power management is supported now [16:08] Does the standard driver have settings I can change? Wait for vertical refresh and that kind of thing? [16:09] that's possible, but not via a GUI I think [16:09] ok [16:10] 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? [16:13] latest graphics cards are known to cause trouble [16:13] ok :) [16:13] you could buy one which is a bit older and has good reviews [16:14] Any particular brand/model I should avoid? [16:17] hard to tell [16:19] you can check http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=category&item=Graphics%20Cards [16:20] Thanks! I'll have a look [16:28] Question. How do I add Kali tools to Xubuntu distro? [16:36] How do I derermine whether I am running a 32 bit or 64 bit version of xubuntu [16:40] arch [16:43] Does i686 mean 64 bit? [16:43] x86_64 is 64 bit - i686 is 32bit [16:44] Thank you [17:00] Hi there. Is Synaptic installed by default on Xubuntu 14.04? [17:00] no [17:00] kthnx === WLM|weg is now known as WLM [18:03] hey there to all users [18:07] 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. [18:09] ok, selecting another mirror is easy [18:10] The problem is that it doesnt show any other and bz clicking select best it throws an error too [18:10] *by [18:10] mirrors are in /etc/apt/sources.list [18:11] tried playing around with them too. Is it allowed to post the full error? [18:12] if it's one line, yes. more than one, please use pastebin [18:13] how do i use that? [18:14] do you have pastebinit installed? [18:14] sudo apt-get install pastebinit [18:15] or copy and paste the error to pastebin.com and submit the link here [18:17] 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 [18:18] so, it's saying that you have no access to any mirrors? [18:19] correct. The internet connection works im writing right now from it [18:21] yes, that's a new one on me. please try asking in main channel. #ubuntu [18:23] ok thanks for your help anyway. Do zou know how i install play on linux? Error-> http://pastebin.com/r5rAt0jJ [18:24] just through the normal PPA [18:25] could you explain it step by step? Im really sad that nothing had worked for me so far. [18:25] 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? [18:26] ShinuSha_, http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/playonlinux [18:26] voidwalkr, why do that?, install LibreOffice [18:27] i can't work on that it's very ugly [18:27] it's monstrous [18:28] it works [18:28] i don't care, its a creative inspiration killer [18:28] i need to be inspired when i write [18:28] need eye candy [18:28] ok fine [18:29] was anyone ever able to get office 2010 working properly on linux or no? [18:29] from the videos i see on youtube, it's very glitchy [18:29] it's horrible [18:30] i love linux, but i ain't switching permanently until there is good office suite for it [18:30] i tried it ObrienDave Result -> http://pastebin.com/itUS8KhS [18:30] i wonder if PearOS supports mac office [18:32] ShinuSha_, run "sudo apt-get -f install" [18:33] Reading package lists...

[18:54] how do i do that? Im programmer but im relative new to linux [18:55] by googling it says sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:whatever/ppa [18:59] !ppapurge [18:59] 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:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [18:59] It adds it but it doesnt change anything could the errors occur cause of an arm based cpu? [19:01] at least in trusty, wine is only available for amd64 and i386. [19:02] ^ [19:02] dang, never thought to ask what cpu :/ [19:02] how could you know anyway :) [19:03] so i cannot download it though? [19:05] To be honest, I don't know, but it seems like it doesnt work for you [19:06] but iwanted to plaz wot with it x( [19:07] bye [22:31] notebook doesn't come out of sleep mode [22:31] can anybody fix this / [22:31] ? [22:32] I am having the same issue. [22:33] 12.04 never did this. [22:34] this is driving me crazy.. [22:34] at certain times it works, most of the time it doesn't work [22:35] previous versions never did this.. [22:35] i should probably go back to xubuntu 13.10 [22:35] 13.10 does it too [22:35] it never did it for me [22:36] According to the website, 12.04 is supported until April 2015 [22:36] Unless that's wrong. [22:36] I may go back to 12.04, just for that reason. [22:37] 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 [22:38] 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] guess 14.04 not stable after all [22:38] nope [22:39] are there people in here that can help ? [22:39] You have to wait around. [22:39] or this channel is just a hang ut ? [22:39] i'm assuming ikonia is the genius here [22:40] 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] My gf hates it when I use Mr. Satan on her network.
