HectiquinI need help01:44
HectiquinI installed xubuntu on a macbook 1.1 works fine.I chose to encrypt the hard drive. did not know it was goint to ask me for the password of encryption everytime, can i remove this?01:45
xanguaencrypt the whole drive¿01:47
Hectiquini did, I just dont want to put the password everytime i log in01:48
xanguawell then anyone could acces your data01:48
xanguathat's the point of encrypting a drive, I just encrypt my home01:48
xanguaaccess01:49
Hectiquincan I undo it or I have to reinstall?01:49
xanguareinstall won't decrypt your drive01:49
HectiquinI know, I mean delete everything and start overagain01:50
Hectiquinif I just encrypt the home directory, I wont be asked for he password at log in?01:50
xanguayou will have a password, but your user password will trigger your encrypt home password01:54
HectiquinSo I would only have to put the user password?01:54
brasileirohi guys, there's a problem that's bugging me for a while now... my fan keeps activating in waves, each 10s more or less.. during its activation my ubuntu (14.04) lags, this is more frequent when I'm watching a movie... it seems that after the installation of the bumblebee (nvidia) the lags are less powerful... I was wondering if anyone would have ANY idea for me to start searching about this problem...02:29
poeticrpmbrasileiro, use htop or some process manager to see if anything is hogging CPU03:19
brasileiropoeticrpm, nop, everything OK03:29
Guido1hello, i upgraded from xubuntu 12.04 to 14.04. the starmenu stayed the same wheras i have a different one if i do a fresh instal. how can i decide between the menues?05:54
xanguayou can add the whishker menu05:56
Guido1xangua: how? I thought it should come with the update and therefore I just have to change a setting06:01
xanguaright click-add06:02
xanguawhatever is done in the xfce panel06:02
Guido1xangua: where should i do the right click? in the old menu there is no free space06:03
Guido1m from 12.04?06:15
Guido1And what happand with the program menu in the bottom from 12.04?06:15

xubuntu001ok maybe someone can help me in here, i am trying to create symlinks and I keep getting command 'ln' not found06:26
deshipuxubuntu001: more details please06:27
xubuntu001this is what it gives me No command 'ln‭' found, did you mean:  Command 'ln' from package 'coreutils' (main) ln‭: command not found06:28
elfyGuido1: the app menu plugin in 12.04 is replaced by the whiskermenu plugin in 14.0406:29
deshipuxubuntu001: do you have coreutils uinstalled and if not, why?06:29
Guido1elfy: ah, i see. thanks. Is there a way toswitch between the two menues?06:30
xubuntu001this system is a new install and nothing has been removed06:30
elfyGuido1: you can replace them if that's what you mean06:30
deshipuxubuntu001: what does 'apt-cache policy coreutils' say?06:30
xubuntu001coreutils:   Installed: 8.21-1ubuntu5   Candidate: 8.21-1ubuntu5   Version table:  *** 8.21-1ubuntu5 0         500 http://jp.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status06:31
deshipuxubuntu001: did you copy-paste that "ln" from somewhere?06:31
Guido1elfy: maybe. I will get a new laptop and both menues seam nice. so I would like t try both and than be able to decide which one i want to keep06:31
elfyGuido1: there's nothing that would stop you having both in your panel :)06:32
Guido1elfy: how can i do that?06:32
elfyGuido1: I don't often use either tbh, but when I do I prefer using whiskermenu as I've set it so I mouseover to change categories rather than click06:33
xubuntu001deshipu that was it,  i manual typed it in and it went through06:33
deshipuxubuntu001: that probably wasn't a real l or n06:34
deshipuxubuntu001: but some unicode characters that look like them06:34
Guido1elfy: (in the cas that i upgraded and in the case that i have a frech 14.04 install)06:34
Guido1yea, than it is better, but iset it to click as it otherwise opens windows i don't want be open.06:34
elfyGuido1: if you are going it install 14.04 then just add applications menu to the panel and you'll have both06:34
deshipuxubuntu001: or there was an invisible unicode character between or after them06:34
Guido1elfy: how do i install it? a special file for the software center, a special name or the command? (and what if i want to have it in the upgraded version? it shows the old menu)06:35
elfyGuido1: if you upgrade then I think you will still have the old menu and would have to add whiskermenu06:35
Guido1elfy: yes06:36
elfyright click on the panel - add new items - look for whiskermenu and add06:36
elfythey are both just panel plugins06:36
Guido1right click opens a program or folder06:37
elfyon an empty part of the panel06:37
elfyor just about anywhere on the panel and look for panel in the menu you get06:38
elfysame as adding any panel plugin06:38
Guido1than i get to the main menu setup06:38
elfyI have no idea what you are doing then06:39
Guido1elfy: ah, found it. how can i get the old ones in the new version? (application and the one in the bottom)06:43
elfyold what?06:44
Guido1elfy: applicationmenu and the menu bare in the bottam with the "quickstarters"06:44
elfythey are all just plugins - add them the same way :)06:45
Guido1so they should come with a new install06:45
elfythey come with it - but the panel is set up differently - just add and take away things as you see fit :)06:46
Guido1elfy: thanks :-) and you sayed that the sub menues open automatoicly by the wiskerker if you are above them. can that be set up in the menu or is it related to the mous?06:47
elfyit's a whiskermenu setting06:47
Guido1okee, where can i find it?06:48
Guido1ah, found06:48
Guido1thanks :-)06:49

brasileirohi everyone, I've got a problem mounting an external HDD... if someone could help me, I've posted it in here: http://superuser.com/questions/775164/cant-mount-external-hdd-device-listed-at-lsusb-but-doesnt-appear-at-deV17:32
meek_geekhas xubuntu updated anything in last 2 days ?17:33
meek_geekI don't see updates coming17:34
xanguado you have a security issue¿18:37
meek_geekwho me ?18:38
meek_geekI cannot see any updates since last two days I believe their is some issue in my setup18:38
xanguamost updates are security fixes, you won't get new major release software except maybe firefox/thunderbird18:39
knomemeek_geek, if it ain't broken, don't fix it18:40
meek_geekxangua, i don't have thunderbird i purged it18:40
meek_geekknome, ai'ght18:40
xanguameek_geek: do you expect security/normal updates every day?18:40
meek_geekI have a question about security ; does xubuntu install any non-free package by default except for non-free blobs in the kernel ?18:41
meek_geekxangua, no but i had many updates last week18:42
deshipumeek_geek: depends whether you check the checkbox in the installer18:45
c0de_hey there18:46
meek_geekdeshipu, which Checkbox ? That its ok to install mp3 etc ?18:47
deshipuyes18:47
deshipuI believe so18:48
elfymeek_geek: unless you have changed something in the time between now and the last updates, or your internet connection has failed - then nothing has changed at your end - if you're not getting any updates then that's because there is nothing for you to update :)18:49
koegsif "sudo apt-get update" does not throw an error, there should not be a problem, i would say :)18:55
elfykoegs: I agree - as long as none of the repos have been disabled :)19:05
koegselfy: good point19:08
