[11:23] <pinglix_> volevo installare l'ultima versione 14.10 di xubuntu ma quando parte il PC dalla chiavetta mi dà il messaggio /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod not found. ISO appena scaricata.
[11:24] <pinglix_> I would like to install last version of xubuntu 14.10. Last ISO downloaded. When pc starts from USB gives the error /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod not found
[11:59] <xubuntu89w> hi
[11:59] <xubuntu89w> i downloaded xubuntu ISO, burnt it to a DVD
[11:59] <xubuntu89w> tried installing it ona  pc rtunning XP, but it gives an error when booting from the dvd
[12:01] <elfy> did you run the check on the dvd before starting it - hit a key when it starts, then there is a menu with an option to check
[12:01] <xubuntu89w> see thats the thing, it doesent give that option
[12:01] <xubuntu89w> wait, i'll mention the exact error
[12:10] <xubuntu89w> no LABEL keywords found
[12:10] <xubuntu89w> error reeading cfg file
[12:12] <elfy> xubuntu89w: I would first check the download -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[12:13] <elfy> make sure that you are burning it properly ->https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto and then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck
[12:16] <xubuntu89w> the md5 is same
[12:16] <xubuntu89w> ac7829d1b274f4d8b6ac106ec5985c9f
[12:17] <xubuntu89w> xubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
[13:26] <userubuntu> my screen autimatically turns of while watching youtube i have power managamenet all disabled but this happens any idea? I am using xubuntu 14.04. Thanks
[13:58] <wgetME> hi, We want to buy two new PC for Office use, printing/scanning/word/excel/web, we want to know what is the potential of Ubuntu 14.04 in our use case also what kinda hardware would be best for a 5 yrs of use from now?
[13:58] <deshipu> the potential is huge, the hardware is offtopic
[14:00] <brainwash> xubuntu is free, so you can download, install and test it easily
[14:12] <Azelphur> wgetME: most hardware works now. Web is great, Printers you'll need to be somewhat careful in selection, word/excel/web can be done through libreoffice, but I would suggest you familiarise yourself with it before you switch to make sure it does everything you want.
[14:13] <wgetME> Azelphur: I am a techie, I am their boss, I would teach/admin/help them but I am just wondering if i3-4130/8 GB RAM/7200rpm HDD would be good enough for 5 yrs of use ?
[14:13] <wgetME> or should I consider buying i5 ?
[14:13] <Azelphur> wgetME: I'd be tempted to go for the i5 honestly, better to be safe than sorry.
[14:14] <wgetME> Azelphur: ya
[14:14] <wgetME> I was thinking about it
[14:16] <GridNet> wgetME, even oldeer hardware should last for more than 5 years, but xubuntu's LTS is just 3
[14:17] <wgetME> GridNet: i3-4130 enough ?
[14:17] <Azelphur> GridNet: thing is he's probably gonna want to upgrade it, newer versions of LibreOffice and such. Browsers are heavy now days, open a few tabs and you can easily use >2GB RAM, Flash is a resource whore too. It all adds up quick.
[14:17] <GridNet> wgetME, it sure is
[14:18] <Azelphur> that said, the i3s are pretty good, it'd probably be ok, I'm known to be overly cautious on my future proofing :)
[14:18] <wgetME> Azelphur: but I have 8 GB Ram
[14:18] <Azelphur> yea
[14:18] <wgetME> so should I order i3 ?
[14:18] <wgetME> or i5 ?
[14:18] <wgetME> I want to order two PC
[14:19] <GridNet> again, it depends on the kind of usage you will give them, if you want to constantly edit video and work with tons of social media feeds and pictures and so forth, maybe it will get old, but for most office usages, sure, the probability is high you wont be having problems
[14:19] <Azelphur> I mean I have an i7 950 @ 4.2ghz in my machine, firefox is currently using like 50% CPU with ~20 tabs open, plugin-container is pulling 25% (Watching a video on youtube) and Xorg is using 15% (I'm running X at 10240x1440)
[14:19] <GridNet> nothing is never 100% assured
[14:19] <Azelphur> yea, I agree with GridNet on that :)
[14:20] <deshipu> wgetME: I don't think that basic your purchasing decisions on what some random people on the Internat say is a good strategy
[14:20] <deshipu> s/basic/basing
[14:20] <GridNet> also that
[14:20] <GridNet> you should test yourself and see
[14:20] <wgetME> i5-4590 Processor (Quad Core, 6MB, 3.30GHz w/HD4600 Graphics)
[14:20] <wgetME> buying this with 8 gigs of ram
[14:21] <Azelphur> deshipu: always works great for me, when buying a machine I usually ask a few people, gather opinions/recommendations, then come to my own conclusions.
[14:22] <Azelphur> wgetME: be sure to check compatibility on your printer/scanner, some of them don't work well (brother ones I hear are bad) and try out Libreoffice if you haven't already.
[14:25] <wgetME> Azelphur: there are some problems with libreoffice in 2 days of trial
[14:26] <wgetME> 1) it do not recognise the page margins of .doc / .docx at all
[14:26] <wgetME> 2) when you paste more than one pictures they would paste one over the other and not like MS word
[14:27] <Azelphur> wgetME: are those acceptable problems? remember you can't really use MS Word easily on Ubuntu
[14:28] <wgetME> Azelphur: I know those are not problems but still these are the only two problems people are facing in my office
[14:29] <Azelphur> :)
[15:17] <SonikkuAmerica> Yo
[17:10] <tyrog> Hi is it safe to install Xubuntu in a btrfs partition or should stick with Ext4 for now? Thanks
[17:45] <GridCube> for all i know, you shouldnt have any problem
[17:45] <GridCube> but then i don't have empiral evidence
[17:50] <sleezio> hello, can someone recommend a dvdripper that works with the latest xubuntu? i've tried both acidrip and handbrake so far, both see the dvd but fail to show tracks
[19:48] <timvisher-xubunt> org-mode in emacs expects M-RET for a particular function i use often. is there any way to get xfce4-terminal to send that when i press Alt-Enter?
[20:20] <Pwnna> does anyone here install with luks?
[20:21] <Pwnna> i'm getting stuck on choose a security key
[20:25] <Pwnna> it looks like it's getting stuck when i create a crypto partition
[20:26] <Pwnna> device /dev/sda5 not found in os-prober output
[21:04] <head|tail> How do I add syntax highlight sets to Mousepad?
[21:05] <deshipu> head|tail: I think it uses gtkcodeview
[21:06] <deshipu> head|tail: so put them in ~/local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/styles/
[21:06] <deshipu> gtksourceview*]
[21:09] <flux242> there are syntax highlight for mousepad?
[21:10] <knome> yes
[21:11] <flux242> would never have thought so
[21:13] <head|tail> it was added a while ago
[21:13] <head|tail> but is missing a lot of lang support like vim and kate
[21:13] <knome> as said, it uses gtksourceview, so anything that supports, mousepad can support
[21:14] <knome> and anything it doesn't, mousepad will not either..
[21:14] <deshipu> head|tail: just look for syntax files for gedit
[21:15] <deshipu> head|tail: it's the same thing
[21:15] <head|tail> deshipu: ahh, helps knowing a palce to get the files :P
[22:15] <avoider> anyone having issues with the wifi cutting out off and on with 14.04
[22:15] <avoider> ?
[22:16] <knome> avoider, please ask the real question
[22:17] <avoider> How was that not a real question?
[22:17] <knome> avoider, i'm pretty sure you are not interested if others are having issues, i'm pretty sure you want to fix your own issues with wifi
[22:18] <avoider> knome: you need to be a prick, was just curious.
[22:18] <knome> but if you are interested if others have problems, then no, i'm not having problems
[22:19] <knome> avoider, i was trying to help you; asking that question and getting the answers isn't going to help with your issue
[22:22] <avoider> Might be just my Wifi extender adapter then
[22:23] <avoider> After a period of time i have to disable the wifi and re enable it
[22:23] <avoider> But only happens on ubuntu
[22:23] <avoider> windows 8 stays connected
[22:23] <knome> do you have to use ndiswrapper or are you using a native driver?
[22:24] <avoider> It auto detected it when i installed
[22:24] <avoider> so i didnt need to do anything.
[22:24] <knome> what's the adapter model?
[22:25] <avoider> realtek
[22:25] <avoider> 200
[22:25] <avoider> 2000*
[22:25] <knome> have you checked the forums, askubuntu or other places if others with the same adapter have had issues?
[22:26] <avoider> no
[22:27] <avoider> Realtek 2000 mw   wifisky
[22:27] <knome> i would browse around a bit to see if it's a common issue
[22:27] <avoider> ok
[22:27] <knome> you can also search with that and "ubuntu", because the same drivers and core are used by ubuntu and xubuntu
[22:28] <avoider> Ok thanks
[22:28] <knome> no problem, and good luck
[23:14] <xubuntu12w> Hello, I just booted my netboot, wich runs Xubuntu 14.04 and I believe there is something wrong with the desktop, because all the windows only start at the left superior corner and lost all the window buttons
[23:14] <likemindead____> Trying to copy a 4.6 GB .mkv file from my laptop to a brand new 16 GB jump drive. It fails at 4.3 GB each time I've tried & says "file too big." Halp?
[23:14] <bazhang> thats a fat limitation
[23:15] <likemindead____> Talking to me, bazhang ?
[23:15] <bazhang> yep
[23:16] <likemindead____> Should I format the jump drive to something else? My laptop's hdd is ext4.
[23:16] <bazhang> is this for playing? storage or what
[23:16] <xubuntu12w> Has anyone experienced something like ths? -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/ks0fla7an0zwspq/Screenshot%20-%2023-11-2014%20-%2021%3A09%3A17.png?dl=0
[23:17] <xubuntu12w> How can I fix it?
[23:17] <likemindead____> It's an .mkv video file, Star Wars IV DeSpecialized. :D
[23:17] <likemindead____> Want to watch in the living room via our Roku.
[23:17] <bazhang> does the roku accept that fs
[23:19] <likemindead____> Not sure what formats it will accept. :-\
[23:19] <likemindead____> Doubt it will take ext4, but who knows? It's supposed to be Linux-based.
[23:19] <bazhang> why not find out
[23:20] <likemindead____> Worth a try.
[23:20] <bazhang> indeed
[23:20] <bazhang> ntfs has no issue with that file size either
[23:20] <likemindead____> This is the only info Roku has. http://support.roku.com/entries/423946-What-media-file-types-does-the-Roku-Media-Player-channel-support-
[23:32] <likemindead____> Worked like a charm. Thanks, bazhang !
[23:32] <bazhang> welcome
