xubuntu78winstalled already xubuntu-restricted-extras, using a windows PC I can see the files, my xubuntu is a standard 14.0400:01
xubuntu78wAs a workaround, I rip the files on a windows computer, put them on memory stick and continue to process them in xubuntu, but why can xubuntu not read the cd?00:09
xubuntu78wcan't read windows audio cd (windows cd with files), it opens in windows 7 and I can see the files, but it does not open in ubuntu, thunar does not show files00:18
brainwashxubuntu78w: media players are not able to play the audio cd?00:23
brainwashI am not sure if you should be able to see files in a file manager, because audio cds contain data, not files00:24

xubuntu72wwhen using web21:40
holsteinfrom there you can "sudo reboot", xubuntu72w , and see what is causing the issue21:40
holsteinxubuntu72w: when using the "web", or flash? if its flash, try the pepperflash for chrome21:40
xubuntu29wi am trying to get my 40gb data partition to be read/write but i have somehow made it disappear21:41
xubuntu72wholstein how many time i reboot21:41
xubuntu72wand yes i added flas21:41
xubuntu03wits mot in the add new items21:41

holsteinxubuntu72w: pepperflash is what you will need, if flash is causing you issues21:41
holsteinxubuntu72w: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/21:41
xubuntu72wok i will check it, are u sure21:42
holsteinxubuntu03w: what i usually suggest is, fire up the guest account, and just add *all* the items and see what they do21:42
xubuntu72wi think there is bug21:42
holsteinxubuntu72w: no.. im not sure, since, you have not stated for me the answer to, is it the "web" or flash? if its flash, try the newer version, and you'll find out for yourself.. you can use http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ to see, factually, what version you are using21:42
xubuntu72wi downloaded it by xubuntu software center21:43
holsteinxubuntu72w: its not a bug, if, flash is not working for you, if you are using the older version. adobe doesnt provide the latest version for you for linux.. you can try the pepperflash from chrome21:43
xubuntu72wok thanks21:43
holsteinxubuntu72w: sure.. so, as you will see when you visit http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ , you are not using the latest version from adobe.. if its flash causing you issues, try the latest version21:43
xubuntu72wGREAT SUPPORT FROM XUBUNTU21:44
xubuntu72wbye21:44
xubuntu29wis anyone else having the ext4 partition problem not mounting automatically, and when you do mount it is read only?21:45
holsteinxubuntu29w: its read only by design21:45
xubuntu29wwhy?!21:45
holsteinxubuntu29w: you would need to "chown" the new partition21:45
holsteinxubuntu29w: permissions.. its not your users, and its for security and easy to change permissions, if thats what you want21:46
xubuntu29wwhat does chown do?21:46
xubuntu29wnow i cant even see the partition anymore, it disappeared21:46
holsteinxubuntu29w: like i mention in the sentence above, its gives you the permission you are wanting21:46
xubuntu29wi see21:46
holsteinxubuntu29w: you could have broken the partition or drive, though21:47
xubuntu29woh shit really?21:47
holsteinxubuntu29w: i would start by, identifying what the device is, and if its removable, make sure you plug it back in, and its showing up in the file manager. then, its a lot like this..21:47
xubuntu29wi was taking advice from the ubuntu forums and did what they said21:47
holsteinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive#Create_A_Mount_Point21:47
holsteinxubuntu29w: i dont know what you are doing. im just commenting the possibilities of "now the partition has disapeared"21:48
xubuntu29wi amended the sudo nano /etc/fstab file then saved and rebooted. gone21:49
holsteinxubuntu29w: fstab is a completly different thing21:49
xubuntu29whuh?21:50
holsteinxubuntu29w: thats for the partiton/drive to automount.. is that what you want?21:50
holsteinxubuntu29w: you are stating, some partition (location, device not specified) is not showing up anymore after being automounted read only21:50
xubuntu29wyes, when i boot the computer i want my partition to work! thought this would be a no brainer after a clean install following all the steps21:50
holsteinxubuntu29w: what partition?21:50
xubuntu29wa 40gb data logical partition on the same internal sata drive as my windows 721:51
holsteinxubuntu29w: its not a "no brainer" at all.. its not trivial, but, the guide i linked is actually the guide i follow for that21:51
xubuntu29wshouldnt a hard drive just work?21:51
holsteinxubuntu29w: i would undo *everything* you have done, and refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive21:51
holsteinxubuntu29w: they do, friend. thats not the issue..21:51
xubuntu29wwhy would i need my partition i just created for data be read only?21:52
holsteinxubuntu29w: it did work, and as designed, where, your user for security reasons, didnt have permission.. you are addressing both that, and the automount21:52
holsteinxubuntu29w: root created the partition21:52
xubuntu29wsorry, frustrated never had to do this with previous ubuntu21:52
holsteinxubuntu29w: regardless, try seperating these steps up.. do fstab, if thats what you want, and then address the partitions21:53
holsteinxubuntu29w: xubuntu *is* ubuntu.. its the same in ubuntu21:53
xubuntu29wwell it all started with trying to install a game on steam. i tried to tell steam to install to my new partition and it said read only21:53
holsteinxubuntu29w: again, you can chown for that21:54
holsteinbut, now, you have a broken fstab to address..21:54
xubuntu29wwell i dont know what any  of this means, sorry. like i said never had to go to these lengths with ubuntu. everything just worked.21:54
holsteinxubuntu29w: this *is* ubuntu21:55
holsteinxubuntu29w: it will not work any differently in ubuntu.. the permissions are the same that way21:55
xubuntu29wi know it is21:55
xubuntu29wbut its definitely not!21:55
holsteinxubuntu29w: please just undo what you did to fstab, and then decide what you want, and address the permission with chown21:55
xubuntu29wthis is a huge pain in the ass, may just go back to microsoft21:55
holsteinxubuntu29w: ?21:55
holsteinxubuntu29w: we are just volunteers here.. i understand you are frustrated, but, this is a normal issue for operating systems..21:56
xubuntu29wnot windows!21:56
holsteinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive outlines all the issues you are having, and how to deal with them21:56
holsteinxubuntu29w: sure, and if you prefer windows, just use windows.. no need for threats.. we all hope you are happy with your computer21:57
holsteinxubuntu29w: you want to add a partition, i get that.. but, the permissions are all you need to address.. not fstab..21:57
xubuntu29wi understand i appreciate your help, i do. thats not what they told me in the forums to do. im getting two different suggestions here21:57
xubuntu29wi did what they told me and it disappeared!21:58
holsteinxubuntu29w: i am only giving the one answer. no suggestions..21:58
holsteinxubuntu29w: the issus *is* permission.. chown will address that21:58
holsteinxubuntu29w: i already suggested undoing what you did.. im sure the volunteers there mis-understood your query21:58
holsteinthey are volunteers as well..21:58
xubuntu29wi realize that21:59
xubuntu29wi just find it unusual that i have to give my own partition that i created permission21:59
holsteinxubuntu29w: at least, you have no data on the new partition.. you can literally revert your fstab, delete the partition, and start fresh refering to the guide..21:59
xubuntu29wok ill look at the guide thanks again22:00
holsteinxubuntu29w: yes, its unusual, when coming from a mis-managed windows system.. but, even in windows, that is not the case any longer22:00
holsteinxubuntu29w: in windows, one is now suggested to have an admin user. so, when new drives and partitions, and software show up, the "admin" gives permission.. or you grant the user rights. chown is how you do that in linux22:01
zak_is there a config file of sorts for ifconfig / iwconfig settings for wlan0?22:01
xubuntu29wok got it. i have installed several drives into my windows system and didnt have to do anything. at least that i can remember22:02
holsteinxubuntu29w: sure, and it may be, that your system is setup like that.. you are *welcome* to read about, and setup a linux system like that, but, its not recommended, or by default that way22:02

zak_holstein, my rt61pci wlan card seems to need two settings added to keep a stable connection with the latest kernel, forcing the correct country code set for the wlan driver, and a custom mtu size.22:18
holsteinxubuntu24w: make sure you are using http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/22:18
holsteinxubuntu24w: see that you have the current flash..22:18
xubuntu24wsystem specification or what22:18
holsteinzak_: if its just with the "latest" kernel, i would probably just file a bug, and use the older one, personally.. work with someone and try and get it "fixed"..22:19
xubuntu24wIt is saying you have correct version installed22:19
holsteinxubuntu24w: there is no "correct" version.. just the #'s.. what # is it stating you are using?22:19
zak_using xubuntu 14.10 32bit, kernel 3.16.0-28-generic. Recurring problem that goes back at least a couple of years, and several kernel versions22:20
holsteinzak_: ok.. still, i would file the bug report, if there is not one.. i know, i'll use the LTS versions even when there is not a compelling hardware issue like that22:21
zak_workaround for now is having to enter two commands after each reboot22:21
holsteinzak_: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-mtu-maximum-transmission-unit-of-network-interface-in-ubuntu-linux.html is what i would use22:21
holsteinzak_: set the commands to autorun..22:21
zak_enter the commands in /etc/rc.local, then22:22
holsteinzak_: i would enter them where ever it takes to do the system specific edits i need to make my hardware work22:22

geekstayHi everyone. I tried to modify, and create my own live-CD with the tutorial on ubuntu.fr. When I did it, and rebuilt squashfs, and if I want to install this distribution on a computer, does it install my own live-cd, or the default ?22:23
holsteinxubuntu24w: what makes you think its *just* when you are browsing the internet that your cursor locks up? how and when and why does it lockup?22:23
xubuntu24wchrome hangs up and crusor stops but i can open things without crursor22:24
xubuntu24wthere is a old threa22:25
holsteinxubuntu24w: chrome? or chromium? you stated chromium earlier? one what content? what page?22:25
zak_holstein, my question is where would that be? Normally id use interfaces, but NetworkManager keeps its settings somewhere else :/22:25
holsteinxubuntu24w: i dont need a "thread", i need *details* from your personal experience22:25
xubuntu24whttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=200050722:25
holsteinzak_: i would just add them to autostart.. since, there really isnt a place to deal with that..22:26
xubuntu24wThat issue is same as mine22:26
holsteinxubuntu24w: what is causing your particular machine to lock up? or is it just the cursor? can you still tty?22:26
xubuntu24wsorry for bad english22:26
holsteinxubuntu24w: broad stroke your *exact* case here, in the channel, so that the volunteers here and myself dont have to read that link, if they dont want22:26
holsteinxubuntu24w: what language do you prefer?22:27
xubuntu24wyes it is just cursor22:27
holsteinxubuntu24w: how to you know its just the cursor? can you get to tty as i asked?22:27
xubuntu24wI can speak URDU or ENglish22:28
holsteinxubuntu24w: im asking what you would prefer speaking, since, there are *many* ubuntu channels22:28

xubuntu24wno it is desktop22:30
xubuntu24wIntel core 2 duo with 1 GB RAM22:31
holsteinxubuntu24w: i know, i would rule out the connection to the TV, i would plug a local known-good monitor in,a nd test, and share with this channel what causes what to lock, and for how long, and what i do when its locked to get the cursor back.. etc22:31
xubuntu24wwhen i lock pc it hangs22:32
xubuntu24wwhat pc do you have22:32

xubuntu24wok i will try with moniter but this does not make sense that tv make cursor to hang22:36
holsteinxubuntu24w: is it the cursor hanging? or the session?22:36
xubuntu24wand when i was using windows 7 everything was great but slow22:36

Nixushey23:49
Nixusanyone know why a program is smaller when I remove it than when I install it?23:49
knomeif i understand the intention of your question correctly, that's because packages that the application package depends on are not counted on removal23:50
knomeyou'll have a possibility to remove those unneeded packages later though23:50
Nixusis there a way to delete the dependencies too?23:52
knomewhat are you using to remove the application package itself? apt-get?23:52
Nixusapt-get purge name of application23:52
Nixusor apt-get remove23:52
knomeapt-get (--purge) autoremove removes unneeded packages23:53
Nixuswhat do you mean by the parenthesis23:54
knomeif you want to purge, you can add the parameter; if not, you can leave it out23:54
Nixusok23:54
