| xubuntu28w | Is it needed to defrag HDD in lunux ? | 07:53 |
| xubuntu28w | Linux | 07:53 |
| baizon | xubuntu28w: no, it will defrag itself | 08:21 |
| baizon | xubuntu28w: ofc if you mean hdd and not sdd | 08:21 |
| baizon | *ssd | 08:21 |
| baizon | xubuntu28w: also http://www.howtogeek.com/115229/htg-explains-why-linux-doesnt-need-defragmenting/ | 08:22 |
| xubuntu28w | I meen hdd. But if i use ssd is the a trim function in Linux ? | 08:42 |
| cfhowlett | !trim | xubuntu28w | 08:43 |
| ubottu | xubuntu28w: Many Solid State Drives support TRIM, which allows the drive to do garbage collection and improves performance. Ubuntu 14.04 activates it by default. For older versions, see http://askubuntu.com/a/19480 for information on activating it. | 08:43 |
| Soelen | hello everyone, I have a problem with my nvidia drivers atm | 09:07 |
| Soelen | I tried to switch drivers because blender refused once again to render something with the gpu | 09:07 |
| Soelen | and now when I try to play a game I get framerates of 10fps | 09:07 |
| xubuntu298 | buenos días | 09:50 |
| cfhowlett | !es | xubuntu298 | 09:50 |
| ubottu | xubuntu298: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 09:50 |
| xubuntu298 | Thanks | 09:51 |
| Linnak | Hi, I use a Xubuntu based distro, I installed my language but language selector doesn't see it so I can't choose it. What's the solution? | 10:34 |
| knome | Linnak, ask the question from your distros support channels | 10:34 |
| Linnak | There is no channel | 10:35 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, if it's not canonical, it's not supported | 10:35 |
| cfhowlett | !flavors | 10:35 |
| ubottu | !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. | 10:35 |
| Linnak | So that means you won't help even if you could? | 10:35 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, we only support canonical products. | 10:35 |
| Linnak | Okay I'm using Xubuntu | 10:36 |
| Linnak | same problem | 10:36 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, no, you're not. | 10:36 |
| Linnak | yes I have a Xubuntu as well in my virtualbox | 10:36 |
| cfhowlett | sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 10:36 |
| Linnak | is that for me | 10:42 |
| Linnak | cfhowlett: | 10:43 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, if your distro offers no support, rethink your distro choices. when you install a proper *buntu, come back for support. | 10:43 |
| Linnak | 3.13.0-43-generic #72-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 8 19:35:44 UTC 2014 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux | 10:44 |
| knome | Linnak, that is no proof, all the derivatives use a ubuntu kernel as well | 10:45 |
| Linnak | what's the proof? | 10:45 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, cat etc/issue | pastebinit | 10:45 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, cat /etc/issue | pastebinit | 10:46 |
| Linnak | ok i restart | 10:46 |
| knome | Linnak, there is no proof... the trust is based on what you tell us, and since you told us you are using a derivative... | 10:46 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, and then you told you weren't so ... broken trust. | 10:47 |
| knome | Linnak, please understand that we can't support any/all derivatives; that would mean we would have to be ready to fix any issues that sourced from any changes the derivative maintainers made | 10:47 |
| Linnak | yes and I told you (i have 6 virtualmachines) thatz I have also a xubuntu one as well with the same problem | 10:47 |
| Linnak | okay fuck off | 10:47 |
| cfhowlett | well ... that escalated quickly | 10:47 |

| ubottu | MrZ__: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 15:24 |

| MrZ__ | well... it's not working | 15:29 |
| cfhowlett_ | MrZ__, then you're doing it wrong. | 15:30 |
| MrZ__ | is the bootloader the blue starting screen with xubuntu's symbol? | 15:32 |

| GeeSeeBee | Stop me if you've heard this one before, but I don't have any sound | 18:37 |

| DoomBoom | jbouron, maybe you need to set the theme in both the Window Manager configuration menu and the Appearance configuration menu? | 18:49 |
| DoomBoom | I remember that being a problem I walked into when I was changing themes | 18:49 |
| potless | Sorry for the idiots post but why doesn't my password work when trying to use SU in terminal? | 19:08 |

| GeeSeeBee | I have no sound and I need help! | 19:29 |
| deshipu | !sound | GeeSeeBee | 19:37 |
| ubottu | GeeSeeBee: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

| eatyourguitar | does anyone have a way to fix the youtube fullscreen bug that happens with dual monitors? | 21:42 |
| eatyourguitar | I installed the latest distros with updates | 21:42 |
| eatyourguitar | I read something in google that this is an old bug with xfce | 21:43 |
| Luyin | eatyourguitar: what bug is that? I don't have anything here | 21:46 |
| eatyourguitar | if you have two monitors your screen size is x1 + x2 | 21:50 |
| eatyourguitar | it puts massive black bars on the youtube video on the sides | 21:51 |
| eatyourguitar | cause screen size is 3000 x 1080 | 21:51 |
| eatyourguitar | then stretches to fit the 1900x1080 | 21:52 |
| eatyourguitar | this is only a problem with xubuntu flash | 21:52 |
| eatyourguitar | I had ubuntu with a additional desktop environment yesterday fxce was working good | 21:53 |
| Luyin | eatyourguitar: tried to switch to HTML5? perhaps that fixes the prob for the videos which support html5. at least I have that set and I don't seem to have this problem | 21:53 |
| eatyourguitar | there was some fix online but I wanted to check if there was an official fix or script | 21:54 |
| eatyourguitar | and how do I set youtube to HTML 5? | 21:54 |
| eatyourguitar | in youtube settings? | 21:54 |
| eatyourguitar | or do I disable flash in firefox | 21:54 |
| knome | yes, http://youtube.com/html5 | 21:54 |
| eatyourguitar | thanks | 21:55 |
| eatyourguitar | will it revert if I delete cookies? | 21:55 |
| knome | i don't know, but you can go to the same URL again and opt-out of HTML5 | 21:55 |
| eatyourguitar | right | 21:56 |
| eatyourguitar | I think my aspect ratio may be incorrect for my desktop environment can I change it? | 21:57 |
| eatyourguitar | all I can do is change to a resolution that looks better | 21:57 |
| eatyourguitar | 1920x1080 is perfect aspect ratio for my monitor | 21:58 |
| eatyourguitar | 1600x1200 stretches horizontally | 21:58 |
| eatyourguitar | I know most operating systems have a setting to do this if it is not done automatically | 21:59 |
| eatyourguitar | like 10 years ago nvidia had tools to do it when the OS did not have that feature | 22:00 |
| knome | they still have a settings panel for the proprietary drivers | 22:00 |
| eatyourguitar | addititional drivers? | 22:01 |
| knome | yes | 22:01 |
| eatyourguitar | its scanning now | 22:01 |
| knome | well i didn't say you necessarily need them... | 22:01 |
| knome | it's a completely different thing | 22:01 |
| knome | if nothing else, you can add other modes with a xorg.conf file | 22:02 |
| knome | !xorg | 22:02 |
| ubottu | X.Org is an implementation of the X Windows System, and is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart it on an Ubuntu system, type 'sudo service lightdm restart'. To fix screen resolution or other X.Org problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution . See also !xorgconf | 22:02 |
| knome | hmm... | 22:02 |
| knome | !xorgconf | 22:02 |
| ubottu | The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. See `man xorg.conf` for file structure and syntax. | Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf | ATI proprietary driver specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd | Nvidia proprietary driver specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia | 22:02 |
| knome | that's a better one | 22:02 |
| eatyourguitar | it gives me 3 options | 22:02 |
| eatyourguitar | says the open source xserver is recomended | 22:02 |
| eatyourguitar | do I need to restart? | 22:03 |
| knome | if you changed the driver, a restart is required, yes | 22:03 |
| eatyourguitar | ok brb | 22:03 |
| knome | but i'm not sure you are understanding exactly what you are doing | 22:03 |
| knome | but... you are free to do so | 22:03 |
| AgAu | and away he goes! | 22:06 |
| octetcloud | !syslog | 23:41 |
| octetcloud | What's the ! notation, what does it access? | 23:41 |
| knome | octetcloud, factoids. | 23:42 |
