Panikhey i got a question, I've installed xubuntu on a lower end netbook, its using a atheros 242x wireless card, and I'm running into issues with it keeping connected and or connecting to the network itself, is there anybody who could help me?02:11
Panikaha, I found ubuntu drivers for my model on its manu website, I shall try now and see how it goes02:32
quantibilitypanik, when it comes to wifi, you gotta make sure your in the scope of the device, for instance, if you tyring to use WIRELESS N on a G only wifi its gonna cause problems02:36
quantibilityi had the same problems for a while untill i figured that out02:36
xubuntu698will xubuntu support ralink rt5360 in 14.04?03:23
holsteinxubuntu698: a better question would be, will ralink support ubuntu 14.04.. since it will ultimately up to them.. i would try a live CD on the hardware and see03:27
vigooshow can i get ralink rt5360 working on xubuntu 14.04LTS?03:35
holsteinvigoos: ideally, ralink would provide you with a driver, as they do for windows.. but, where i would start is with a live CD and see if the device just works03:35
holstein!wifi | vigoos03:35
ubottuvigoos: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs03:35
vigoosthanks.03:36
holsteinvigoos: just plug the device in, or turn it on while running a live CD and see if it works03:36

xubuntu067hello I am wanting a program that provides system restore like capability, I hear timeshift is the best option but hasn't been updated since 2013, I didn't know if there were better options?13:42
holsteinxubuntu067: backing up like that is always a matter of needs and what one is willling to maintain.. i say, if timeshift is meeting your needs, the update schedule wouldnt bother me13:52
holsteini mean, is there any security concerns? where a security patch is needed? not on a local machine like that likely.. if it has all the features you need, then, you dont need anything else13:53
holsteinif the "backups" or restore points in that case are on the same hard drive, then, *when* that single hard drive fails, you lose your backups13:53

m8thello, can i find a netboot install for xubuntu?18:00
Unit193!mini18:00
ubottuThe Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want.  The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD18:00
Unit193Of course, use the Xubuntu Desktop task.18:01
m8tnot the same as a netboot actually, i need kernel+initrd image, like these http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/18:01
Unit193Ah, you mean real netboot, pxe style.18:02
m8tmmh, i'm actually a preseed file, i guess all i need is to set the right task inside it, will look at this18:02
m8tyep :)18:02
m8ttasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, ubuntu-desktop18:05
m8twell, thanks :)18:05
Unit193Sure, though I did nothing.  I normally use the squashfs and PXE the live system.18:06
m8tlooks interesting18:09
m8ti use to boot on chrooted nfsroot, makes things easier to update the live system18:10

Psil0Cybinnyone up for helping mem make an encrypted swap for 14.04 xubuntu so my laptop wont freeze when i put in hiberate :(?19:35
SonikkuAmericaPsil0Cybin: How is encrypted swap space going to help you as opposed to non-encrypted swap space?19:39
Psil0CybinSonikkuAmerica, well not encrypting it would ruin the whole point of my LVM encrypted installation that the Installation menu offers, so i guess id ideally want encrypted swap space if thats not possible then i guess any swap space because i am using a 1gb laptop19:41
Psil0Cybinthat dies often when i use programs19:41
SonikkuAmericaPsil0Cybin: I'd shrink a partition and add a swap-space partition, but LVM is just a pain so I don't use it19:42
elfyPsil0Cybin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnableHibernateWithEncryptedSwap might help you, bit old afaik19:42
Psil0Cybinhmmm so its just better to remove LVM perhaps?19:43
Psil0Cybinand start over...19:43
Psil0Cybinblast why does ubuntu taunt me with these options in the install menu :P19:43
SonikkuAmericaI tried LVM once. Never again. It screws around with your /boot partition, making [ sudo update-grub ] impossible to invoke because it runs out of space19:44

zacwallsi have xubuntu. i want to change to ubuntu. i burnt the iso onto a dvd-r. it burned the contents. i have no idea how to boot it.20:37
zacwallsi did a md5sum and got good results20:37
bazhangzacwalls, burned how20:38
zacwallsas contents20:39
bazhangburned using what tool zacwalls20:39
bazhangso you burned as data, and not as an image20:40
zacwallsim not sure what the script is called.20:40
bazhangzacwalls, then please find out20:41
geniiI'm not sure why you didn't just install ubuntu-desktop20:41
zacwallshow20:41
zacwallsit runs wubi20:41
zacwallsor whatever20:41
geniiGah, wubi.20:42
* genii runs away20:42
zacwallsikr20:42
zacwallsi hate it too\20:42
bazhangzacwalls, a wubi install is from within windows, not as you are describing it20:42
zacwallsi know. but the iso contains wubi20:43
ObrienDaveall of the ISOs have wubi. you DON'T have to run it20:43
zacwallsgood20:43
zacwallshow do i boot20:44
knomezacwalls, put the DVD in your drive and reboot the computer.20:44
zacwallsthen what?20:44
zacwallsi have done that20:44
knomethat's how you boot the DVD. if it didn't boot, check your BIOS settings for boot priority to make sure it tries to boot from the DVD:20:45
knomeif that's set up correctly, and the DVD is not booted, then the DVD is burnt wrong.20:46
zacwallshttp://imgur.com/nPqAo4O20:48
zacwallswhere in bios do i go. boot. and from there where do i go. what do i do.20:49
knomejust try booting your computer with the DVD in first.20:49
zacwallsagain?20:50
knomeyou didn't tell us if you did that or not. i am not a telepathic.20:50
zacwallsi did say that.20:51
knomei don't know what your BIOS is like exactly, but look for boot order/priority.20:51
zacwallsoh never mind sorry20:51
zacwallsokay20:51
zacwallsbrb20:52
zacwallsthe priority is dvd-rom drive and when i boot ub it says "dvd-rom boot type 1 or 2" and then it gives me an option for 1 or 2 and ether way it is xubuntu that boots20:57
ObrienDaveso the DVD does not boot at all?20:58
zacwallsno20:58

zacwallsi did. i just have alot of time and want ubuntu20:59
ObrienDaveyou have it20:59
zacwallsyes20:59
ObrienDaveok, i'm confused, if you have a running Ubuntu, why are you trying to install it?21:00
zacwallsit is xubuntu with ubuntu desktop21:01
knomezacwalls, no, it's ubuntu with both xubuntu and ubuntu desktops.21:01
ObrienDaveso? it is still the same core system. no difference21:01

secondhello. which of these entires to i select to boot? http://imgur.com/0y2vyC221:41
ObrienDavemove the third line to the top to default to xubuntu boot21:42
ObrienDavedon't forget to save before exiting21:43
secondty. so what is the difference between one marked just Ubuntu then?21:43
ObrienDavethat should be the same as the third line, however, i can't get that one to update with the kernel. i manually edit the Ubuntu entry21:44
seconddifference between Ubuntu and 3.13.0 generic21:45
secondokay ty21:45
secondwhy it not says 14.04?21:45
ObrienDavebecause the kernel is 3.13.0-3421:45
secondty ObrienDave21:46
ObrienDaveyw21:46
secondhello. where is the restart button for Xubuntu LTS? I upgraded and I cant find it23:25
ObrienDaveclick your name at the top23:26
secondjust shows logout or shutdown23:26
ObrienDaveunder logout23:26
secondthen it logs me out and then i can choose restart. is there no faster way?23:26
Unit193'Logout' doesn't just log you out, it gives you options.  Try the one in the menu to see.23:26
secondit does take me to login screen yes where restart is option, but i wouldlike to know if this is intentional23:27
ObrienDaveyes it is23:27
secondi think there used to be a dedicated restart button23:27
secondok ty ObrienDave23:27
secondwhat is the sudo command to restart if its same thing?23:28
ObrienDavesudo reboot23:29
ObrienDaveiirc23:29
ObrienDaveyou can also hold Alt-SysRq B for reboot23:30
ObrienDavew/e23:30
bekksObrienDave: BY default, sysrq is disabled in Ubuntu, afaik.23:31
