[01:12] What's the link for xubuntu's drivers? [01:16] Depends what device. [01:16] It's a Dell Latitude D520 [01:17] By device, I mean video card, or wifi, or fingerprint reader, or so on [01:17] Oh. Um...Broadcom I think is the thing you're asking for lol [01:18] Because we have factoids like !intelhda !broadcom !nvidia and so on... [01:18] !broadcom [01:18] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [01:19] Okay. I'll be back if I can't figure it out from there [02:13] anyone have time to help me get system-config-samba working on a fresh xubuntu install? [02:55] What's the most xfce-friendly way of logging in as another user in a window? [04:38] If I have some RAM still in my SWAP, can I free it? [04:38] ie: 680MB / 999MB === zz_VorVZakone is now known as XeBlackWater [05:29] tsun, swapoff -a && swapon -a ? [05:29] will force all swapped memory to be loaded into RAM again [05:29] but why would you want to do that ? === Rochvellon is now known as Guest30175 [06:16] tdec__: Oh sorry I was afk, [06:16] I don't want to push it to RAM, I want it to clear it out. Is that possible? [06:17] not with a command that I know of, but it will clear out eventually [06:17] hmm [06:17] what is the reason for wanting to clear out your swap ? [06:17] I donno, lemme check htop [06:18] your swap space is allocated anyway, regardless of whether there's stuff in there or not [06:18] oh hmm === andrewhuntley is now known as rickhuntley === XeBlackWater is now known as zz_XeBlackWater === Hund^ is now known as Hund [12:28] hi [12:29] hi [12:30] I am installing Xubunt [12:30] how to stop downloading language packs [12:30] as it takes lot of time [12:32] is anybody there?

[20:13] !av [20:13] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [20:14] xubuntu37w: Windows I believe, to protect other Windows computers on the network. Not sure how up to date the install method or technologies used are. [20:15] Unit193: then it's pointless to have it if I have an av on my windows (parition) ? [20:16] For you it may well be, sure. [20:16] If you do decide to look into it, keep in mind 'clamav' too. [20:17] clamav they are too many false alerts (or perhabs i configured it wrong) [20:19] i make a lot of mouvements OS - / I also run some windows apps on linux that's why I'm asking for an antivirus on linux [20:20] xubuntu37w: the windows apps in linux dont need protection like that either [20:23] I see I'll try and if it's not needed i will remove [20:23] xubuntu37w: its *not* needed.. not for running applications in wine [20:25] I see thanks [20:25] holstein I got an error message : GPG error when i apt-get update [20:26] I added videolan repo and when I try too update the list it's give me this message [20:26] xubuntu37w: i suggest *not* adding ppa's. but, if you need them, you need them.. you can look at the ppa pages for the GPG key [20:26] or, just purge the vlc ppa, since you dont need it [20:26] I searched but I didn't find [20:27] i try keyserver it gives nothing [20:27] xubuntu37w: we dont maintain those sources,but the key will be with the ppa.. what ppa did you add? [20:27] xubuntu37w: or, just give the entire error..

[20:28] !ppapurge [20:28] 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 [20:29] otherwise, you can use http://askubuntu.com/questions/127326/how-to-fix-missing-gpg-keys to chase it around [20:29] but if i purge i can't get the updates from the current ppa (even if it doesn't work now) no ?

[20:31] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/stable-daily [20:32] i would purge or undo what you did, get "sudo apt-get update" to complete without error, then use ^^ [20:39] holstein i want to understand how all this works [20:39] can you look at this link : http://download.videolan.org/debian/stable/stable/ there a realase.gpg can i do something with it ? === Pici is now known as Guest74903 === zoktar_ is now known as zoktar === JeZxLee_ is now known as JeZxLee === Poisoned_Dragon_ is now known as Poisoned_Dragon === holstein_ is now known as holstein [22:07] hello [22:08] Anyone here to give some tech support? [22:10] asdfg: just ask, and a volunteer may try to assist [22:15] I have a problem with finding distro that would work well on my old pc. Only one distro working well seems to be ubuntu 10.04 and 11.04. After trying so many distros I would guess it can be because of the kernel version. in Ubuntu 10 and 11 it is 2.6.something. In newer it is always 3.2.something [22:15] The thing is support is ending for 10 [22:15] asdfg: nothing about the newer distros/kernels is preventin that machine from working [22:16] asdfg: i say, try 14.04 live [22:16] they run yes, but very very laggy [22:16] asdfg: otherwise, you may have to support 10.04 yourself.. or get new hardware [22:16] while 10.4 is as fast as it can get on this old pc [22:16] 10.04* [22:16] 10.04 indeed [22:17] asdfg: its not that is "faster" or "better". its that, as you say, its likely the hardware is supporting 10.04 "better" than the newer versions [22:17] asdfg: what would i do? try 14.04 live, and try different graphics drivers.. the vesa driver, for example [22:18] how can I find vesa? [22:18] asdfg: you were not promiesd *any* linux support for that device, so it can be challenging.. and, running 14.04 with the vesa driver may be a nice compromise [22:18] Also can it be PAE NON/PAE issue? I am not sure which one this pc is [22:18] asdfg: not anymore.. [22:19] asdfg: with the "pae" issue", it'll either work, or it wont [22:19] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270209 [22:19] I see... [22:19] you wont have sluggish performance with pae problems.. [22:20] anyways, i would install 14.04.. if i need, i would use the mini iso, or alternate text based. but, if the "normal" live iso works, i would use it.. then, i would use the xorg.conf i linked to force the vesa driver, and see if its less "sluggish" [22:20] i would take the opportunity to check the ram and hard drives [22:21] ok, thank you very much for help, I will try that [22:22] knowing what graphics hardware you have can help a volunteer assist you better, as well [22:24] geforce 6200 turbocache [22:25] and cpu celeron d 2.9 ghz [22:25] ram 1gb hdd 300gb [22:29] 1gb ram but 2.9 ghz cpu?

I've been known to do crazy stuff with undermarket hardware. [22:36] will do, ill ping [22:38] what i am running [22:38] on crazy bad old comp [22:38] is i installed cli only ubuntu iso [22:38] then installed xfce but removed xfm [22:38] and installed xmonad [22:39] and configured them both together [22:39] and its runnin real nice === therealnanotube is now known as nanotube
