| xubuntu41w | Good day | 12:54 |
| GridNet | !hi | xubuntu41w | 12:55 |
| ubottu | xubuntu41w: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 12:55 |
| xubuntu41w | Where can I get update package for offline update my xubuntu 14.04 | 12:56 |
| xubuntu41w | Hello | 12:58 |
| deshipu | !info apt-zip | 13:01 |
| ubottu | apt-zip (source: apt-zip): Update a non-networked computer using apt and removable media. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.18 (utopic), package size 20 kB, installed size 128 kB | 13:01 |
| gwilherm | hi :) | 13:46 |
| xvx | Booting Xubuntu; Pae error - http://pbrd.co/1zTT8FO - what to do? | 17:22 |
| holstein | xvx: booting a live iso? booting to install? booting a previous installation? have you tried the "forcepae" option? | 17:46 |
| holstein | !pae | 17:46 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 17:46 |
| xvx | booting to install/try | 17:47 |
| xvx | The machine doesn't have 3GB RAM | 17:48 |
| holstein | xvx: assuming you are trying to install, you should be able to select the forcepae option from the installer menu | 17:48 |
| holstein | xvx: that link discussing the ram only explains some facts about pae i thought would be helpful | 17:48 |
| holstein | xvx: you can try the forcepae option, or upgrade the hardware | 17:48 |
| holstein | xvx: http://zo0ok.com/techfindings/archives/1546 outlines exactly how i would deal with it | 17:49 |
| xvx | Trying forcepae but it's frozen, seeing if it'll work though | 17:49 |
| holstein | xvx: you may need multiple comproimses.. forcepae and nomodeset.. | 17:49 |
| holstein | compromises* | 17:49 |
| xvx | so I should type both? | 17:55 |
| holstein | xvx: there really is no "should".. just what compromises you'll need to do to (hopefully) make xubuntu work on a machine that you were not promised linux support for | 17:56 |
| holstein | xvx: i'll do exactly what you are doing, and just *make* the live iso work on the hardware, before installing.. in some cases, i'll find it easier to use the mini iso, and get a working install to them build from | 17:56 |
| holstein | !mini | 17:56 |
| ubottu | The 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/MinimalCD | 17:56 |
| xvx | I used forcepae and it looks like Xubuntu is working. Had to wait 10 minutes on a black screen | 17:59 |
| holstein | xvx: seems like an older machine.. you'll likely hit compromises like that | 18:00 |
| xvx | yes, it's ~11 years old | 18:01 |
| xvx | Trying to play a CD. Getting "GStreamer back end error - Could not handle CDDA URI" | 18:03 |
| holstein | xvx: on hardware of that age, i would be testing the actual phyisical hardware | 18:04 |
| holstein | xvx: could be a bad optical drive, could be a lack of codec support.. could be a bad disc | 18:05 |
| holstein | xvx: what is the goal here? if it is to install xubuntu 14.04, and use that machine as good as new, you may need to re-evaluate your intentions.. | 18:05 |
| xvx | I want to install Xubuntu but the priority is to be able to play the CD | 18:07 |
| holstein | xvx: sure.. but, have you *ever* plade "the CD" on a other cd player? or computer? has the computer optical drive been tested in any way recently? | 18:07 |
| xvx | Yes, I played the music on the CD on another computer today | 18:08 |
| holstein | xvx: i typically get "known good" cd's.. and test with them, or, extract the audio and play it locally.. | 18:08 |
| holstein | xvx: you are still in the live environment? | 18:09 |
| xvx | yes | 18:09 |
| holstein | xvx: so, you literally just want to play that cd, right now, from the live environment? | 18:10 |
| xvx | yes | 18:10 |
| holstein | xvx: i would try installing vlc, which may be the shortest path to a "Fix" for you.. | 18:12 |
| xvx | I'll try it | 18:12 |
| holstein | xvx: in a terminal, assuming you are online, "suco apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc" | 18:12 |
| xubuntu41w | what is the command via terminal to view all partition on my computer? | 18:54 |
| xubuntu41w | Does anyone know that off the top of their head? | 18:54 |
| holstein | xubuntu41w: http://askubuntu.com/questions/182446/how-do-i-view-all-available-hdds-partitions | 18:55 |
| holstein | lsblk ..though, i'll use fdisk -l as well.. | 18:55 |
| xubuntu41w | Nice, thanks for that. | 18:56 |

| pleia2 | hm, I recall there was once a setting to show window geometry when resizing a window, anyone know where that setting is? (or if I just imagined it) | 19:14 |
| jigglebells | hello | 19:24 |
| jigglebells | the installer does not offer me to dual boot | 19:24 |
| jigglebells | why? | 19:24 |
| xangua | UEFI system¿ | 19:25 |
| jigglebells | no | 19:25 |
| jigglebells | there should be an option to install alongside windows | 19:27 |

| vincentf | hi | 21:19 |
| vincentf | first of all, I'm a complete newbie | 21:20 |
| vincentf | so if I ask stupid questions... my bad | 21:20 |
| vincentf | is there a good how-to-start out there that I can read ? | 21:20 |
| vincentf | Just installed a xubutu on my 10 year old AMD computer that I want to use as a home made NAS | 21:21 |
| vincentf | But been working with Windows and OS X the last years. | 21:21 |
| vincentf | So this is a complete culture shock to me :) | 21:21 |
| vincentf | I installed a programma called Tonido | 21:22 |
| vincentf | Copied files to the hard drives, and that worked fine | 21:22 |
| vincentf | But it works true the internet | 21:22 |
| vincentf | It should be easy to make a network folder share somehow | 21:23 |
| vincentf | Just can't figure out how to do this | 21:23 |
| vincentf | Any suggestions? | 21:23 |
| artag | if you mean something that windows machines can access, Samba is the thing that does that | 21:26 |
| artag | however, you might be better off using a distribution specifically for a NAS rather than ubuntu | 21:26 |
| artag | not that ubuntu can't do it, but the other distribution will be configured ready to go | 21:27 |
| artag | i don't have direct experience but freenas or openmediavault might be worth a try | 21:32 |
| vincentf | Hi artag | 21:42 |
| vincentf | thank you... but no windows here, just a OS X machine at the moment | 21:42 |
| vincentf | I've read that Samba is not the best choice | 21:42 |
| vincentf | Also, I've read about Freenas... | 21:43 |
| vincentf | this good old computer does not meet the min. req. for Freenas to run :) | 21:43 |
| vincentf | Its just me playing around for the holidays trying to understand how the h*ll this thing works | 21:44 |
| vincentf | After the holidays I think i'm buying a QNAP :-) | 21:44 |
| artag | what's a good usb3 card for linux ? I've just fitted one and am having problems, it seems VIA was not a good choice | 22:59 |
| artag | is it VIA ? Possible VLI | 23:00 |
| bekks | Why wasnt it a "good choice"? | 23:06 |
| artag | googling suggests it may have had problems. there seems to have been a change to stop it setting up streams, because it doesn't do them well | 23:10 |
| artag | I wanted it to use with a Saleae logic analyser, which very probably uses streams | 23:10 |
| xubuntu15w | i have a toshiba satellite lap top running utopic unicorn xubuntu 14.10 i opened the music player sellected a photo and it proceded to put that photo on the icon and the desktop backgreound since then i cant find out how to get the defalut bacgrounds back thanks in adcvsnce | 23:11 |
| xubuntu15w | advance | 23:12 |
| punkunity | hello | 23:12 |
| aliensbrah | hi | 23:13 |
| knome | xubuntu15w, what is it that you are trying to do? | 23:13 |
| bekks | artag: So do you experience any problems with your USB3 devices? | 23:13 |
| punkunity | all my icons went all ghetto after i updated to 14.10 from 14.04 | 23:13 |
| knome | punkunity, meaning...? | 23:13 |
| punkunity | i tried Appearance under settings but nothing happens when I select a different look of windows or icons | 23:13 |
| knome | punkunity, do you use PPA's? | 23:14 |
| punkunity | looks like some 8-bit NES icons lol | 23:14 |
| punkunity | ya. like webupd8 | 23:14 |
| knome | do they ship (icon) themes or something that not working could cause the problems you are describing? | 23:15 |
| punkunity | i really doubt it | 23:16 |
| punkunity | im running apt update now to see if any software sources are bad | 23:16 |
| punkunity | aha. videolan and getdeb are bad | 23:17 |
| knome | punkunity, check if they do that, then make sure you have xubuntu-icon-theme installed | 23:17 |
| knome | (or tbh, xubuntu-artwork..) | 23:17 |
| punkunity | ok, ill check those out | 23:18 |
| punkunity | i mean i have restricted-extras installed | 23:18 |
| punkunity | but i always get that | 23:18 |
| knome | that's unrelated | 23:18 |
| punkunity | i know | 23:19 |
| punkunity | re-running apt-get update | 23:19 |
| punkunity | im building an android rom atm on this system. | 23:19 |
| punkunity | so its using most my threads. a tad slow atm... thanks for the help | 23:20 |
| punkunity | ok. my system seems better. I'll look for those programs and also upgrade | 23:20 |
| xubuntu15w | im trying to get my desktop default background back | 23:21 |
| punkunity | both xubuntu-icon-theme and xubuntu-artwork are newest versions | 23:21 |
| punkunity | download an all black wallpaper | 23:23 |
| knome | xubuntu15w, go to the settings manager -> desktop and pick the default wallpaper | 23:23 |
| punkunity | xubuntu15w, and get it in oyur monitors resolution too | 23:23 |
| punkunity | no updates or dist-upgrade, othin | 23:24 |
| knome | punkunity, if they wanted a *black* background, they wouldn't need an image... but they want the wallpaper *back* | 23:25 |
| punkunity | maybe just a reboot | 23:25 |
| punkunity | ty knome | 23:25 |
| knome | punkunity, if that doesn't help, try logging in with the guest account | 23:25 |
| knome | and see if the problem is persistent there | 23:25 |
| xubuntu15w | well thats the thing when i go there there isnt anything there since i was in the music player and tried to add photos to some songs and they went on the desktop back ground and sort of took it over i guess | 23:25 |
| knome | if not, then it's a user configuration problem | 23:25 |
| knome | xubuntu15w, which xubuntu version are you using? | 23:26 |
| AgAu | /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops/ | 23:26 |
| AgAu | that's the location of the default wallpapers | 23:26 |
| xubuntu15w | unicorn | 23:26 |
| xubuntu15w | utopic | 23:26 |
| knome | xubuntu15w, ^ that's what you need to go to in the "folder" dropdown | 23:26 |
| xubuntu15w | 14.10 | 23:26 |
| xubuntu15w | so i go to settings desktop | 23:27 |
| knome | that's correct | 23:28 |
| xubuntu15w | and it shows nthe drop down with a little gold star where the different choises used to be but are no longer there | 23:28 |
| knome | select "other..." | 23:29 |
| xubuntu15w | o i did that | 23:30 |
| knome | and navigate to the directory AgAu just pasted here | 23:31 |
| xubuntu15w | i didnt find that in the search but i found a file called xfce4 | 23:35 |
| knome | did that solve the problem? | 23:36 |
| xubuntu15w | in there i found som flags thank you Kgnome | 23:36 |
| knome | ok, enjoy | 23:36 |
| xubuntu15w | got it back | 23:38 |
| punkunity | all fixed | 23:39 |
| knome | good to hear | 23:40 |
| punkunity | reboot fixed being able to change icons and window settings. then found out everything highlights in pink by default in 14.10 | 23:42 |
| punkunity | intended...so i went into theme manager to fix that | 23:42 |
| knome | O:) | 23:42 |
