| derek-g_ | how to disable Ctrl+F1 -> Ctrl+F6 shortcuts that switch between virtual desktops? | 00:24 |
| David-A | derek-g_: xmodmap -pke shows XF86_Switch_VT_<X> for the functions keys. maybe you can try remap them using xmodmap (not tested) | 00:50 |
| derek-g_ | David-A, but I thought Iw as able to unmap those previously from Settings menu -> keyboard? | 00:51 |

| xubuntu505 | Hi | 06:58 |
| baizon | hi xubuntu505 | 06:58 |
| xubuntu505 | I tried to install Xubuntu last version on Samsung R55 with Centrino Duo T2300 and Nvidia Geforce Go 7600 | 06:58 |
| xubuntu505 | Works fine, but I cannot change resolution to higher than 1024x768? Do I need another driver? Where to get from? | 06:59 |
| baizon | xubuntu505: you need the nvidia drivers, sec ill post a link | 06:59 |
| baizon | xubuntu505: ok, open software center | 07:00 |
| baizon | and search for nvidia 331 | 07:01 |
| baizon | then install it | 07:01 |
| baizon | or nvidia-current | 07:01 |
| baizon | then you will get the latest one | 07:01 |
| xubuntu505 | Thanks- software center is part of xubuntu, II suppose? | 07:01 |
| baizon | yes it is | 07:02 |
| xubuntu505 | Thank you very much, baizon! Have a nice day! | 07:02 |
| baizon | you too | 07:03 |
| ali1234 | that's not how you're actually supposed to install it | 07:12 |
| baizon | ali1234: i dont have an nvidia card :( i thought thats the easiest solution | 07:13 |
| elfy | it is | 07:13 |
| ali1234 | you're supposed to open the settings and click additional drivers | 07:13 |
| elfy | oh yea - no it isn't :p | 07:13 |
| baizon | hehe | 07:13 |
| elfy | sorry ali1234 :) | 07:13 |
| baizon | forgot about that :D | 07:13 |
| ali1234 | will probably be fine though | 07:13 |
| ali1234 | it just installs a dkms package | 07:14 |
| baizon | ist both doing the same? | 07:14 |
| ali1234 | i don't know 100% | 07:14 |
| baizon | isnt* | 07:14 |
| xubuntu505 | getting confused...;-) | 07:14 |
| xubuntu505 | http://www.binarytides.com/install-nvidia-drivers-ubuntu-14-04/ | 07:14 |
| xubuntu505 | might that be a way? | 07:14 |
| ali1234 | NO DO NOT DO THAT | 07:14 |
| xubuntu505 | I found that I need 304.88 following the NVIDIA website and downloaded the Linux 32bit packkage | 07:15 |
| ali1234 | that will break your install sooner or later | 07:15 |
| ali1234 | what graphics card do you have? | 07:15 |
| baizon | indeed | 07:15 |
| baizon | nvidia 7600 | 07:15 |
| baizon | nvidia go 7600 | 07:15 |
| xubuntu505 | NVIDIA go 7600 | 07:15 |
| ali1234 | it needs the legacy driver? | 07:16 |
| ali1234 | i would install nvidia-304-updates from synaptic and then you should be able to select it in the additional drivers screen | 07:16 |
| ali1234 | no need for edgers ppa | 07:17 |
| xubuntu505 | well, I went to the NVIDIA site, searched for it and downloaded the Linux driver 32bit. Should be the right one as it is directly from NVIDIA, right? | 07:17 |
| ali1234 | but the rest of the steps are the same | 07:17 |
| ali1234 | no, do not install the one form nvidia, that will also mess up your system eventually | 07:17 |
| Segger | hm | 07:17 |
| ali1234 | the one in the repos is packaged and tested and able to be updated | 07:17 |
| baizon | xubuntu505: listen to ali1234 | 07:17 |
| Segger | speaking of nvidia drivers, I've been having a problem with my desktop where the nvidia driver doesn't seem to take up the entire display | 07:18 |
| xubuntu505 | ok, seems to be the more comfortable way than edgers ppa, thank you, I will try that | 07:18 |
| baizon | i did something like this with my amd card, it broke everything | 07:18 |
| baizon | Segger: http://askubuntu.com/questions/125575/edges-of-screen-cut-off-in-ubuntu-12-04 | 07:18 |
| Segger | still applies to 14.04? | 07:19 |
| baizon | Segger: yes | 07:19 |
| Segger | weeee | 07:19 |
| ali1234 | Segger: i've seen that happen but only with nouveau on very new hardware | 07:19 |
| ali1234 | but it could be caused by many things | 07:19 |
| Segger | Oh snap there's overscan compensation in the settings? Why haven't I noticed that ): | 07:19 |
| ali1234 | are you using a CRT? | 07:20 |
| Segger | I've got a spiffy new asus monitor | 07:20 |
| Segger | 27" 1080p | 07:20 |
| ali1234 | then you should not need overscan compensation. something else is wrong | 07:20 |
| Segger | oh okay | 07:20 |
| Segger | Yeah, it's running at the correct resolution, but kinda shrunken overall. | 07:20 |
| ali1234 | try pressing the "auto" button on the monitor | 07:20 |
| baizon | Segger: yeah had that bug once, wasted 2h to find a solution :/ | 07:20 |
| baizon | at least this bug applied to me | 07:21 |
| Segger | My desktop as well as a miniITX media center i've been messing with has the same problem on that monitor | 07:21 |
| ali1234 | also, what type of monitor connection? | 07:21 |
| Segger | HDMI | 07:21 |
| xubuntu505 | by, folks! | 07:21 |
| Segger | bye | 07:21 |
| ali1234 | hmm... well, look for that auto config button. most monitors have one | 07:21 |
| Segger | The media center thing uses fglrx and the desktop is the newer nvidia stuff | 07:21 |
| Segger | Probably so, would be a real pain if I had to use it every time I switched between windows and xubuntu though | 07:22 |
| Segger | another thing is that I have to unplug then re-plug my mouse in order for it to work correctly. | 07:22 |
| ali1234 | you could check the monitor menus in windows and linux to get the exact modes it is using | 07:23 |
| ali1234 | they are probably different, causing the problem | 07:23 |
| Segger | it's really weird, I can kinda right-click on the desktop and then it'll let me click on panels and stuff. | 07:23 |
| Segger | Yeah, maybe | 07:23 |
| Segger | I mean, they should just be running it at 1080p @ 60hz | 07:23 |
| Segger | I dunno if there's some other mode or whatever associated with it | 07:24 |
| ali1234 | on HDMI the monitor should tell the OS what it wants | 07:24 |
| Segger | Yeah I'll have to mess around with it some more | 07:25 |
| Segger | 3am here, and i've got work tomorrow so i guess i'll screw with it tomorrow night | 07:25 |
| Segger | thanks for the help, though | 07:28 |
| Segger | Gonna pass out for now | 07:28 |
| Segger | night | 07:28 |
| peyam | elfy, Are you there? | 12:29 |
| peyam | elfy, you had a solution for the issue of black screen efter resuming from suspend. I can't find it. Do you possibly have any link to that? | 12:29 |

| wilsonjl3 | is there a way to put xubuntu 14.04 onto a usb? | 20:06 |
| wilsonjl3 | and then install it onto the comp.? | 20:06 |
| ObrienDave | unetbootin | 20:06 |
| ObrienDave | tuxboot | 20:07 |
| ObrienDave | startup disk creator | 20:07 |
| ObrienDave | i've had better luck burning ISO to DVD | 20:07 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok but how do i put it onto the usb from windows 7? i tried the dvd but kept getting an error message | 20:08 |
| esph | dd :D | 20:08 |
| esph | Oh, from Windows | 20:08 |
| esph | unetbootin runs on Windows | 20:08 |
| ObrienDave | you did NOT ask about Windows programs ;P | 20:08 |
| wilsonjl3 | ahaha sorry | 20:08 |
| wilsonjl3 | i have infraburner | 20:09 |
| wilsonjl3 | would that work? | 20:09 |
| ObrienDave | for DVD, yes | 20:09 |
| ObrienDave | not sure about USB | 20:09 |
| wilsonjl3 | how big does the dvd need to be? | 20:09 |
| wilsonjl3 | would 4.5 gb work? | 20:09 |
| esph | wilsonjl3: I'd just go with USB, personally. | 20:10 |
| ObrienDave | yes, the ISO is less than 1GB at the moment | 20:10 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok awesome | 20:10 |
| wilsonjl3 | idk how to put it on a usb Esph | 20:11 |
| ObrienDave | unetbootin for WINDOWS ;P | 20:12 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh | 20:12 |
| ObrienDave | snarky windows reference there :) | 20:13 |
| wilsonjl3 | heh i noticed :P | 20:13 |
| wilsonjl3 | is it easy to put it onto a usb using that or should i stay and ask for help here? :3 | 20:13 |
| ObrienDave | it's easy. very easy. install unetbootin, run, at bottom select ISO file and USB drive. very easy | 20:14 |
| Unit193 | I tend to like Linux Live USB creator for Windows, tends to do a better job than unetbookin. | 20:14 |
| ObrienDave | oh, ADD persistance so the USB can be used as a stand-alone-system also | 20:15 |
| wilsonjl3 | do i check the diskimage option? | 20:15 |
| ObrienDave | yes, you don't need to D/L the ISO twice :) | 20:15 |
| ObrienDave | and Unit193 has another option for you | 20:16 |
| wilsonjl3 | how do i add persistance? | 20:16 |
| ObrienDave | at the bottom of the unetbootin screen | 20:17 |
| wilsonjl3 | and thanks unit but i already downloaded this one :P will it screw up if i use unetbootin? | 20:17 |
| ObrienDave | i've had trouble with unetbootin on occasion | 20:17 |
| wilsonjl3 | do i add 1 mb or how much? its a 4gb usb | 20:17 |
| Unit193 | Shouldn't, just personal preference as to which tool to use. | 20:18 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay | 20:18 |
| ObrienDave | i think the unet limit is 1GB | 20:18 |
| wilsonjl3 | so. 1 gb for the preserving thing? | 20:19 |
| ObrienDave | if you like, yes | 20:19 |
| wilsonjl3 | thats 1000 mb right? | 20:19 |
| ObrienDave | yes | 20:19 |
| wilsonjl3 | sorry for all the questions :3 | 20:20 |
| wilsonjl3 | is there a place to check if i did it right? | 20:20 |
| wilsonjl3 | or do i just throw it in the comp and see if it screws up? | 20:20 |
| ObrienDave | persistance retains settings, documents, etc... makes the USB stand-alone. | 20:21 |
| ObrienDave | umm, your BIOS will boot a USB drive, yes? | 20:21 |
| wilsonjl3 | (btw the comp is completely cleared, no OS or anything on it, thats why im checking) | 20:21 |
| wilsonjl3 | yes it will | 20:21 |
| wilsonjl3 | do i use bios or legacy setting? | 20:21 |
| ObrienDave | depends on your comp. | 20:22 |
| wilsonjl3 | acer aspire | 20:22 |
| wilsonjl3 | bought last august new | 20:22 |
| ObrienDave | i wouldn't know about that comp, sorry | 20:23 |
| wilsonjl3 | aha no problem, cant harm it if it dosnt work, right? | 20:23 |
| ObrienDave | nope, since there's nothing on the HDD, no worries | 20:23 |
| wilsonjl3 | awesome :) | 20:24 |
| wilsonjl3 | thanks for all the help guys | 20:24 |
| wilsonjl3 | im just waiting for it to download right now | 20:24 |
| ObrienDave | the installer gives you the option to "try" or "install". just try it for now | 20:25 |
| ObrienDave | you can install from the desktop after it gets going | 20:25 |
| kristin | hi! I've installed xubuntu few days ago, after trying ubuntu 14.04 and lubuntu 14.04 and in these instalations including xubuntu now, I have same problem. When loading I get a message on top of the screen saying "Support for cores revisions 0x17 and 0X18 disabled by module paron allsupport=0. Try allsupport=1. Does anyone know what it can be related to and what can be done? | 20:25 |
| ObrienDave | brb | 20:26 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok Dave i will | 20:26 |
| knome | kristin, sounds like a kernel parameter | 20:27 |
| ObrienDave | wilsonjl3, that makes sure the USB works before you install to your HDD | 20:34 |
| wilsonjl3 | ohh okay | 20:34 |
| wilsonjl3 | makes sense | 20:35 |
| kristin | <knome> what should I do with this kernel parameter?:) I'm quite slow with this.. | 20:43 |
| kristin | knome are you still there? | 20:45 |
| ObrienDave | wow, main channel having a spam fest LOL | 20:47 |

| wilsonjl3 | so i selected xubuntu on that drop down thing. what do i pick for the second one? 14.04 live, 14.04 hd media(x64), or 14.04 net install(x64) | 20:51 |
| wilsonjl3 | in UNetbootin | 20:51 |
| === ponpon is now known as ponbiki | ||
| knome | kristin, http://askubuntu.com/questions/19486/how-do-i-add-a-kernel-boot-parameter goes through it | 20:56 |
| kristin | someone suggested its kernel parameter. What can I do about it? | 20:56 |
| kristin | oh, thank you | 20:57 |
| kristin | ! | 20:57 |
| kristin | i'll try that, knome | 20:58 |
| wilsonjl3 | is there a way to see if the files are all good before putting it on the usb? | 21:00 |
| ObrienDave | just check the ISO with the MD5 hash. if it matches, all is good | 21:01 |
| wilsonjl3 | how do i do that | 21:02 |
| ObrienDave | no sure under windows ;P | 21:02 |
| ObrienDave | *not | 21:02 |
| wilsonjl3 | idk what md5 hash is :P | 21:02 |
| elfy | 2 secs I'll grab link | 21:02 |
| wilsonjl3 | aha ok | 21:02 |
| ObrienDave | it's a checksum for the ISO data | 21:02 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh, thanks elfy :D | 21:02 |
| elfy | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 21:03 |
| elfy | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM_on_Windows | 21:03 |
| ObrienDave | which iso did you d/l? | 21:04 |
| wilsonjl3 | xubuntu 14.04 | 21:04 |
| wilsonjl3 | a torrent someone here gave me the link too(cant remember who) | 21:04 |
| ObrienDave | i386? x64? | 21:05 |
| wilsonjl3 | x64 i think | 21:05 |
| ObrienDave | makes a difference | 21:05 |
| wilsonjl3 | ya 64 | 21:05 |
| ObrienDave | k, sec | 21:05 |
| ObrienDave | ae446659057ee49e57773bf446398856 xubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 21:06 |
| ObrienDave | your checksum MUST match this value | 21:07 |
| wilsonjl3 | checksum? | 21:07 |
| ObrienDave | md5 checksum | 21:07 |
| wilsonjl3 | aha its still downloading | 21:07 |
| wilsonjl3 | slow internet here | 21:07 |
| ObrienDave | that number is known as a checksum or MD5 hash | 21:07 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay, is there a way to check it without downloading that program elfy sent me the link too? | 21:08 |
| ObrienDave | not in windows ;P | 21:08 |
| wilsonjl3 | aha okay | 21:08 |
| ObrienDave | that i know of | 21:09 |
| wilsonjl3 | can i put a system recovery tools iso onto the same flash drive with it or would that mess stuff up? | 21:10 |
| wilsonjl3 | actually nevermind | 21:11 |
| ObrienDave | i would not recommend doing that | 21:11 |
| wilsonjl3 | yeah | 21:11 |
| ObrienDave | you can but that involves dual booting on the USB with GRUB or something along that line | 21:11 |
| wilsonjl3 | yeah too complicated, ill stick with this | 21:12 |
| ObrienDave | it's much easier to have several USBs for various utilities. i have a few for Parted Magic, TAILS, Xubuntu, and so on | 21:15 |
| kristin | so you think I should add this 'foo=bar' parameter? | 21:15 |
| wilsonjl3 | parted magic? | 21:16 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh nvm | 21:16 |
| wilsonjl3 | thats for partitioning and stuff like that, isnt it? | 21:16 |
| ObrienDave | http://partedmagic.com/ yes and simple recovery | 21:16 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay | 21:16 |
| wilsonjl3 | so is tails used with another system or is it its own system all together | 21:18 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: if you download the .iso using bittorren, the torren itself has checksums in it. so the file will be correct PROVIDED you got the torrent from a legal place. | 21:20 |
| wilsonjl3 | someone here suggested it so i think it probably is | 21:21 |
| wilsonjl3 | maybe | 21:21 |
| knomt | Trying quasseldroid on m'y Android tablet, running quassel-core on xubuntu. It's great being able to do irc on the go and not worry about de/reconnections... | 21:25 |
| wilsonjl3 | can teamviewer be used on xubuntu? | 21:26 |
| knomt | If it's me you're asking, I have no idea, but I just looked it up and I'd also be interested to know. | 21:29 |
| wilsonjl3 | i use it quite a bit, its an awesome software/app | 21:29 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: the web site says so, have not tried it: http://www.teamviewer.com/sv/download/linux.aspx | 21:30 |
| wilsonjl3 | awesome, thnks david :) | 21:31 |
| wilsonjl3 | you speak swedish? | 21:31 |
| knomt | But I bet it consumes a lot of bandwidth, so if you wanna do catch up on irc using mobile data, running a quassel core seems way more efficient | 21:31 |
| esph | kristin: since no one seems to be answering you, 'foo' and 'bar' are words used as dummy/example parameters in the unix world. Looks like you need to add 'allsupport=1' in the same manner that that article says to add 'foo=bar', if you see what I mean. | 21:32 |
| wilsonjl3 | yeah but i use teamviewer to help people with a MUD game i like to play | 21:32 |
| wilsonjl3 | :P | 21:32 |
| knomt | Well in that case.. ;) | 21:32 |
| wilsonjl3 | hehe yep | 21:32 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: there are Vinagre and Remmina remote desktop programs in the software repository (software center), and probably others | 21:33 |
| wilsonjl3 | do the people im helping need to have the programs too? | 21:34 |
| wilsonjl3 | cuz most of them use windows and mac | 21:34 |
| esph | While we're listing programs that allow screen sharing, skype also does screen sharing if you have that. | 21:35 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: they must have a program using the same protocol, not necessarely the same program. in the programs you can choose what protocol to use. | 21:36 |
| wilsonjl3 | aha yes i do, i used skype once, but i cant made changes to their desktop in skype ;) | 21:36 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh okay | 21:37 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: if they have X11 (linux or unix) you dont need any fancy program, except ssh, to run programs on their computer but with their gui on your computer. | 21:37 |
| wilsonjl3 | yeah, but most people that use linux-based OS already know how to do their own coding and stuff so they dont need me to help them with the stuff they are trying to do in the game | 21:38 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: (ssh) (then it is not "collaboration" because you are the only user of that gui.) | 21:39 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay | 21:40 |
| Segger | I'm actually using X11 forwarding from my server to run xchat on my windows machine | 21:41 |
| Segger | When I get back to work im probably gonna remote into my desktop using LogMeIn Rescue | 21:41 |
| Segger | *is on break* | 21:41 |
| wilsonjl3 | i just use teamviewer to do that :P it has a mobile app too hehe | 21:42 |
| Segger | my job requires me to login to customer computers with logmein rescue so might as well use it for me | 21:44 |
| wilsonjl3 | what do you do? | 21:45 |
| wilsonjl3 | on UNetbootin do i check the distribution option? | 21:48 |
| ObrienDave | no, at the bottom you can select which ISO to use | 21:49 |
| wilsonjl3 | ah okay | 21:49 |
| wilsonjl3 | extracting and copying now :) | 21:49 |
| ObrienDave | cool | 21:50 |
| wilsonjl3 | i rly hope this works, comp has been down for 3 or 4 days and it sucks | 21:52 |
| ObrienDave | it should, we'll get it working. | 21:52 |
| wilsonjl3 | :) thank you for all the help | 21:52 |
| ObrienDave | most welcome | 21:53 |
| wilsonjl3 | does anyone here know anything about samsung galaxy tab 3 tablets? :3 i just got one and it keeps updating, its on update 4 or 5 now | 21:54 |
| ObrienDave | i have a samsung galaxy S4. there have been several updates since i bought mine. not 100% sure about the tab3 | 21:57 |
| ObrienDave | check with xda-developers | 21:57 |
| ObrienDave | http://www.xda-developers.com/ | 21:57 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay, it just keeps updtating one after the other, i'll do that though, thank you (probably just needs all the updates hehe | 21:57 |
| ObrienDave | probably | 21:58 |
| wilsonjl3 | i think that was the last one, actualy | 21:59 |
| wilsonjl3 | yep it was, im gonna go try the usb now, back in a bit | 22:00 |
| ObrienDave | ok | 22:00 |
| arpad2 | hello | 22:02 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok i think it worked | 22:03 |
| arpad2 | xubuntu can't find the wi fi printer , is there any idea what to do ? thank you ! http://paste.ubuntu.com/7805860/ | 22:03 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok so i think it worked | 22:03 |
| wilsonjl3 | should i try installing? | 22:03 |
| ObrienDave | cool, you should have a Xubuntu desktop | 22:03 |
| wilsonjl3 | yeah | 22:04 |
| wilsonjl3 | there is an install xubuntu thing to do | 22:04 |
| ObrienDave | ok, go ahead and install from the desktop icon | 22:04 |
| wilsonjl3 | do i need to get an antivirus for it? | 22:04 |
| wilsonjl3 | and ok | 22:04 |
| ObrienDave | not yet on the AV | 22:05 |
| wilsonjl3 | av? | 22:05 |
| ObrienDave | Anti Virus ;P | 22:05 |
| wilsonjl3 | ohh aha ok | 22:05 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: normally you do not install antivirus and firewall | 22:05 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: just have fun | 22:05 |
| ObrienDave | don;t worry about things yet. let's get you through the install first ;) | 22:06 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: later, if you install servers, for ftp or http or ssh, you may configure a firewall to feel a little more safe. | 22:07 |
| ObrienDave | when it asks you for input, ask here BEFORE doing anything please | 22:07 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok im at the wireless internet screen, its not letting me put the password in though, says it dosnt need one then wont let me hit continue when i get it in | 22:08 |
| ObrienDave | do you have a hard wire connection? | 22:09 |
| wilsonjl3 | i could go try one, would that be better? | 22:09 |
| ObrienDave | can you connect cable to router? | 22:09 |
| wilsonjl3 | yes i can | 22:09 |
| ObrienDave | please do | 22:09 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok one sec, modem is downstairs | 22:09 |
| ObrienDave | k | 22:09 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok done | 22:11 |
| ObrienDave | ok, get that connection working and continue | 22:11 |
| wilsonjl3 | should i check the "download updates while installing" and the "install this third party software" options? | 22:11 |
| wilsonjl3 | ya i did | 22:11 |
| ObrienDave | ok, you can do both, i like to wait on the updates until later | 22:12 |
| ObrienDave | yes, do install third party | 22:12 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay :) | 22:12 |
| wilsonjl3 | so if im just using this for FB and mud games and that stuff i dont need an AV? | 22:13 |
| wilsonjl3 | (its loading the next step right now) | 22:13 |
| ObrienDave | we'll get to that later ;P | 22:13 |
| esph | How can I diagnose the problem a laptop internal microphone not working at all? In pavucontrol, the little monitor bar under the mic in question shows zero response to clapping, snapping, etc. | 22:13 |
| wilsonjl3 | aha okay :3 | 22:13 |
| esph | the problem of* | 22:13 |
| ObrienDave | esph, make sure mic level is not off or muted first | 22:14 |
| esph | ObrienDave: in alsamixer? I tried putting up the mic levels and mic boost levels, but no response. | 22:14 |
| ObrienDave | what does alsamixer show for the mic numbers? | 22:15 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok, erase disk and install xubuntu, encrypt new xubuntu for security, use lvm with new xubuntu installation and then there is a line to seperate this from the other ones: something else | 22:16 |
| esph | mic numbers? | 22:16 |
| ObrienDave | esph, 0, 100, etc | 22:16 |
| ObrienDave | wilsonjl3, erase and install, encrypt if you like, i don't recommend it | 22:17 |
| wilsonjl3 | what about lvm? | 22:17 |
| ObrienDave | not sure, anyone? | 22:17 |
| esph | ObrienDave: you mean the mic levels? Like I said, I tried putting them up (so like 100). It made zero difference. | 22:17 |
| wilsonjl3 | it says it allows taking snapshots and easier partition resizing | 22:18 |
| ObrienDave | how big is your drive? | 22:18 |
| wilsonjl3 | mine? | 22:18 |
| ObrienDave | yes | 22:18 |
| wilsonjl3 | i have a bit over 600 gb, maybe more(cant remember exactly) | 22:18 |
| ObrienDave | esph, something is preventing it from working, not sure | 22:19 |
| ObrienDave | wilsonjl3, ok, lvm if you like | 22:19 |
| wilsonjl3 | esph maybe it overheated and a mic wire got unsoldered? | 22:19 |
| esph | wilsonjl3: nah, new computer. | 22:20 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay :) | 22:20 |
| wilsonjl3 | do you have the software for the mic installed? | 22:20 |
| wilsonjl3 | nvm, its a new comp. should come with it | 22:20 |
| esph | wilsonjl3: remember, this is linux :) | 22:21 |
| esph | Like I said, it's the internal mic as well. | 22:21 |
| wilsonjl3 | lol i never used linux before today, im used to windows stuffs :3 | 22:21 |
| ObrienDave | esph, have you tried an external mic? | 22:22 |
| esph | ObrienDave: no, but I'll do that now. | 22:22 |
| esph | ObrienDave: my USB mic works fine, but then again it is its own soundcard. | 22:23 |
| esph | don't have another to test with. | 22:23 |
| ObrienDave | you can plug headphones into the mic jack and they will work as very UNsensitive microphones | 22:24 |
| wilsonjl3 | dave, im at a keyboard layout thing, it says language, has a list of languages and a detect keyboard layout button | 22:24 |
| wilsonjl3 | do i hit the button? | 22:24 |

| ObrienDave | yes to both | 22:27 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok, whats the default browser? | 22:28 |
| ObrienDave | firefox | 22:28 |
| wilsonjl3 | ew | 22:28 |
| esph | firefox >> chrome, but only due to plugins. | 22:28 |
| wilsonjl3 | haha can i download chrome without it affecting the install | 22:28 |
| wilsonjl3 | i prefer chrome, alot more idiot(me!) proof :P | 22:28 |

| wilsonjl3Laptop | aha thanks | 22:54 |
| wilsonjl3Laptop | ok so its downloading packages now | 22:54 |
| wilsonjl3Laptop | almost done | 22:54 |
| ObrienDave | ok, next step is to reboot into your new system, make sure you remove USB first ;P | 22:55 |
| wilsonjl3Laptop | ok its still downloading | 22:55 |
| ObrienDave | not a problem | 22:55 |
| wilsonjl3Laptop | how do i make windows smaller? | 22:55 |
| wilsonjl3Laptop | nvm, top right corner, | 22:56 |
| wilsonjl3Laptop | aha this is gonna take some getting used too | 22:56 |
| ObrienDave | just like windows, look for the window icons top right | 22:56 |
| ObrienDave | naw, easy peasy | 22:56 |
| ObrienDave | for now, keep it like it is. you can customize it later | 22:57 |
| Windbag | Hey guys, I've enabled accessibility options, I get some text under it telling me I need to log out, nothing loads, I get the same message - Am I missing packages? | 22:57 |
| ObrienDave | not sure on that | 22:57 |
| wilsonjl3Laptop | lol i had windows customized, i had the bar thats normally along the bottom moved to the left side and it would be hidden unless i moved my mouse over it and a buncha other stuff like that :P | 22:57 |
| Windbag | I've even rebooted :p | 22:58 |
| ObrienDave | wilsonjl3Laptop, not sure about left or right but you can do top/bottom and auto hide | 22:58 |
| wilsonjl3Laptop | nah, in windows its alot bigger, 2 or 3x the size, thats why i hid it | 22:59 |
| wilsonjl3Laptop | is photoshop cc compatible with Xubuntu? | 22:59 |
| knome | no | 22:59 |
| ObrienDave | not that i know of | 22:59 |

| wilsonjl3 | :P | 23:06 |
| David-A | you don't say? | 23:06 |
| wilsonjl3 | ahahaha | 23:06 |
| ObrienDave | MOST important to do things one step at a time ;P yes WE noticed LOL | 23:06 |
| wilsonjl3 | hehe okay ill wait | 23:06 |
| wilsonjl3 | any useful linux-android apps i should have on my phone? :3 | 23:07 |
| xangua | when did #xubuntu become #android¿ | 23:11 |
| wilsonjl3 | is there a #android? | 23:11 |
| ali1234 | yes | 23:15 |
| ali1234 | they aren't very helpful though | 23:16 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh | 23:16 |
| wilsonjl3 | is it possible to take xubuntu off of the usb drive now? | 23:18 |
| ObrienDave | yes, just format the drive | 23:21 |
| ObrienDave | make sure you select the USB drive and not your HD lol | 23:22 |
| wilsonjl3 | ahaha i would cry | 23:23 |
| wilsonjl3 | having to do all that again | 23:23 |
| wilsonjl3 | its about 1/3 of the way done these updates though | 23:23 |
| ObrienDave | 2nd time is easier ;P | 23:23 |
| wilsonjl3 | and just as fun as the first time :P | 23:24 |
| === alarum is now known as Fall | ||
| ObrienDave | wait until you bork it and have to redo everything LOL | 23:24 |
| wilsonjl3 | bork? | 23:24 |
| wilsonjl3 | wouldnt let me skip the firefox update :P | 23:25 |
| ObrienDave | nope, not to worry, you have plenty of HD space, we'll get there | 23:25 |
| wilsonjl3 | ya its actualy 800 gb :3 | 23:26 |
| wilsonjl3 | not 600 | 23:26 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: (if you have several usb sticks, keep the live system on this one, for maintenance and rescue operations, if you want.) (or to demonstrate xubuntu to so called friends on their computers) | 23:27 |
| * ObrienDave has 1.5TB in lappy ;P | 23:27 | |
| wilsonjl3 | so called friends? | 23:27 |
| wilsonjl3 | and aha nice! | 23:27 |
| wilsonjl3 | and the only reason i have to take it of is cuz i didnt have an extra one so i borrowed it | 23:27 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: yes, depending on their computer interest, demonstrating linux can change where on the friendness scale you are | 23:29 |
| ObrienDave | rofl so true | 23:29 |
| wilsonjl3 | and when i accidentaly fry their data cuz idk what im doing it will drop me off it, right? :P | 23:29 |
| David-A | :) | 23:30 |
| ObrienDave | pretty much, yes :P | 23:30 |
| wilsonjl3 | aha thought so | 23:30 |
| wilsonjl3 | but i know how to do it now, so thats good | 23:30 |
| ObrienDave | but that's why you keep the USB, it is self-contained | 23:30 |
| ObrienDave | you could remove their HD and still run from the USB | 23:31 |
| wilsonjl3 | my uncle dual-boots with xubuntu. i just remembered that, and yeah, im gonna get a new usb and make a cop, the one im using right now is an angry birds green pig :P | 23:31 |
| wilsonjl3 | copy, also | 23:31 |
| ObrienDave | cute | 23:31 |
| wilsonjl3 | ya till you realize the usb part goes into the pig's butt when its not being used :P | 23:32 |
| ObrienDave | don't show my wife, she'll steal it | 23:32 |
| wilsonjl3 | aha dont think i have to worry about that | 23:33 |
| ObrienDave | you don't know my wife LOL | 23:34 |
| ObrienDave | my wife could sell ice to an eskimo inside of an igloo during a blizzard | 23:36 |
| wilsonjl3 | ahaha | 23:36 |
| wilsonjl3 | well the ice is for fresh water of course | 23:37 |
| ObrienDave | salt water does not freeze | 23:37 |
| ObrienDave | icebergs are fresh water ;P | 23:37 |
| wilsonjl3 | aha they dont know that | 23:38 |
| wilsonjl3 | ;P | 23:38 |
| wilsonjl3 | or she could convince them it isnt | 23:39 |
| ObrienDave | she can argue either way then turn it it around and convince them the other is correct | 23:40 |
| ObrienDave | she give me a headache all of the time ;P | 23:40 |
| wilsonjl3 | ahaha mine is just stubborn | 23:42 |
