[01:08] <ghostnxs> I have some questions on my computer not shutting down or restarting properly
[02:09] <xubuntu84i> anyone up?
[02:09] <xubuntu84i> anyone up?
[07:48] <Success> (Success) I just booted Windows over Ubuntu without a usb or cd fellas. Thanks to the guy who told me it wasnt possible.
[07:50] <cfhowlett> Success, nice.  what method did you use?
[07:53] <Success> Its gonna be tough to recollect but i screenshotted various things that helped from the internet
[07:53] <cfhowlett> Success, enjoy the buntu!
[07:53] <Success> But the main thing i used was Grub4Dos
[07:54] <Success> I love K,X,L,Ubuntu but Windows is simple & easy to use. I like that kinda OS on my pc
[12:54] <xubuntu41w> Good day
[12:55] <GridNet> !hi | xubuntu41w
[12:56] <xubuntu41w> Where can I get update package for offline update my xubuntu 14.04
[12:58] <xubuntu41w> Hello
[13:01] <deshipu> !info apt-zip
[13:46] <gwilherm> hi :)
[17:22] <xvx> Booting Xubuntu; Pae error - http://pbrd.co/1zTT8FO - what to do?
[17:46] <holstein> xvx: booting a live iso? booting to install? booting a previous installation? have you tried the "forcepae" option?
[17:46] <holstein> !pae
[17:47] <xvx> booting to install/try
[17:48] <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
[17:49] <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*
[17:55] <xvx> so I should type both?
[17:56] <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
[17:59] <xvx> I used forcepae and it looks like Xubuntu is working. Had to wait 10 minutes on a black screen
[18:00] <holstein> xvx: seems like an older machine.. you'll likely hit compromises like that
[18:01] <xvx> yes, it's ~11 years old
[18:03] <xvx> Trying to play a CD. Getting "GStreamer back end error - Could not handle CDDA URI"
[18:04] <holstein> xvx: on hardware of that age, i would be testing the actual phyisical hardware
[18:05] <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..
[18:07] <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?
[18:08] <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..
[18:09] <holstein> xvx: you are still in the live environment?
[18:09] <xvx> yes
[18:10] <holstein> xvx: so, you literally just want to play that cd, right now, from the live environment?
[18:10] <xvx> yes
[18:12] <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"
[18:54] <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?
[18:55] <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..
[18:56] <xubuntu41w> Nice, thanks for that.
[19:14] <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)
[19:24] <jigglebells> hello
[19:24] <jigglebells> the installer does not offer me to dual boot
[19:24] <jigglebells> why?
[19:25] <xangua> UEFI system¿
[19:25] <jigglebells> no
[19:27] <jigglebells> there should be an option to install alongside windows
[21:19] <vincentf> hi
[21:20] <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 ?
[21:21] <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 :)
[21:22] <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
[21:23] <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?
[21:26] <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
[21:27] <artag> not that ubuntu can't do it, but the other distribution will be configured ready to go
[21:32] <artag> i don't have direct experience but freenas or openmediavault might be worth a try
[21:42] <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
[21:43] <vincentf> Also, I've read about Freenas...
[21:43] <vincentf> this good old computer does not meet the min. req. for Freenas to run :)
[21:44] <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 :-)
[22:59] <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
[23:00] <artag> is it VIA ? Possible VLI
[23:06] <bekks> Why wasnt it a "good choice"?
[23:10] <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
[23:11] <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
[23:12] <xubuntu15w> advance
[23:12] <punkunity> hello
[23:13] <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
[23:14] <knome> punkunity, do you use PPA's?
[23:14] <punkunity> looks like some 8-bit NES icons lol
[23:14] <punkunity> ya. like webupd8
[23:15] <knome> do they ship (icon) themes or something that not working could cause the problems you are describing?
[23:16] <punkunity> i really doubt it
[23:16] <punkunity> im running apt update now to see if any software sources are bad
[23:17] <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..)
[23:18] <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
[23:19] <punkunity> i know
[23:19] <punkunity> re-running apt-get update
[23:19] <punkunity> im building an android rom atm on this system.
[23:20] <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
[23:21] <xubuntu15w> im trying to get my desktop default background back
[23:21] <punkunity> both xubuntu-icon-theme and xubuntu-artwork are newest versions
[23:23] <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
[23:24] <punkunity> no updates or dist-upgrade, othin
[23:25] <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
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <xubuntu15w> so i go to settings desktop
[23:28] <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
[23:29] <knome> select "other..."
[23:30] <xubuntu15w> o i did that
[23:31] <knome> and navigate to the directory AgAu just pasted here
[23:35] <xubuntu15w> i didnt find that in the search but i found a file called xfce4
[23:36] <knome> did that solve the problem?
[23:36] <xubuntu15w> in there i found som flags thank you Kgnome
[23:36] <knome> ok, enjoy
[23:38] <xubuntu15w> got it back
[23:39] <punkunity> all fixed
[23:40] <knome> good to hear
[23:42] <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:)
