| Demon_Jester | Hey guys I am back, This hasn't bothered me but I am in search of a solution. Yesterday I tried sudo reboot, and sudo shutdown -r, and both just boot my pc with flashing _ and the only solution I have to turn off the pc complete and turn it back on, is there a command that does same thing? | 02:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Nixus | flashing? | 02:03 |
| Demon_Jester | yeah when it boots back up there is black background with flashing cursor "_" in the quotes. | 02:05 |
| Demon_Jester | I could be wrong I will try again. | 02:05 |

| dane111 | anyone able to help me install xubuntu and answer a few questions please? | 11:16 |
| klopsi-u3 | i am here to help but dont know much | 11:17 |
| dane111 | more then me hopefully | 11:17 |
| dane111 | i've got an empty drive that i want to install on, if I just choose that drive to install to, will whatever partitions I need be created automatically or do I need to do it myself? | 11:18 |
| klopsi-u3 | google says "you can make a new partition" | 11:19 |
| klopsi-u3 | do you want to dual boot windows and xubuntu? | 11:19 |
| dane111 | ok, and do you know if more is involved if im installing on a uefi system instead of bios? | 11:20 |
| dane111 | well i've windows installed already, but i'm on going through bios setup and then change boot order when I want to use xubuntu, as i won't be using it that often | 11:21 |
| dane111 | but im planning on* | 11:21 |
| klopsi-u3 | ah so xubuntu gets its own drive? | 11:21 |
| dane111 | yes, but i'd also like to make partitions on that drive, to store system independent files. ie music videos etc. | 11:22 |
| dane111 | so i could access a music library etc no matter what os Im in. | 11:22 |
| klopsi-u3 | yes good plan, unfortunately i have no efi experience (running with compatibility module here) | 11:23 |
| dane111 | ok, | 11:23 |
| dane111 | think i'll just dive in and give it a shot ;) | 11:23 |
| dane111 | disconnect windows drives, so worst case I just wipe the linux hard drive and start again. and again.. ad nauseum | 11:24 |
| dane111 | but yeah I wasn't sure if xubuntu makes its own partitions for boot, /, swap etc or whether ill have to do it manually? but i guess ill find out. | 11:25 |
| klopsi-u3 | i would select in the installer to manually partition the disk so you can set up your data drive | 11:26 |
| klopsi-u3 | possibly also make two identical partitions for xubuntu | 11:26 |
| klopsi-u3 | so you can use dd to make a backup | 11:26 |
| dane111 | dd? | 11:26 |
| klopsi-u3 | dd lets you make a byte-for-byte copy of one partition to another | 11:27 |
| klopsi-u3 | or one partition to a file | 11:27 |
| dane111 | ok. | 11:27 |
| dane111 | is dd a linux command or how do I use that. or what is that? | 11:27 |
| klopsi-u3 | it is a linux shell command | 11:27 |
| dane111 | ok, so three partitions, two for linux, and one for data, and then i can 'dd' from one partition to the other. is that right? | 11:28 |
| klopsi-u3 | yeah i like to do it that way | 11:28 |
| klopsi-u3 | http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/linux-and-open-source/drive-and-partition-backups-with-dd/ | 11:29 |
| dane111 | instead of re-installing, bit quicker? | 11:29 |
| klopsi-u3 | well it lets me experiment more with less worry about breaking things | 11:29 |
| klopsi-u3 | yes | 11:29 |
| dane111 | ok. thanks for the link and help :) | 11:30 |
| natus | When I shutdown my computer and when I restart it, I have always crash messages. Not because there are bugs, because Xubuntu shutdowns to quickly and maybe it doesn't wait that the applications are closed. How can I resolve my problem? | 12:23 |
| natus | On Windows, we can modify the reg to change the shutdown session time. In Xubuntu, is like "Shutdown" and immediately it's done and it crashes softwares that give me messages after the restart. | 12:25 |
| klopsi-u3 | not familiar with that issue | 12:26 |
| natus | I thought about doing a script that deletes the crash folder after the restart but I want to understand the problem here and find a better solution. | 12:26 |
| klopsi-u3 | not finding anything in google | 12:28 |
| Bwithmore19 | hello guys how can i install xfce 4.12 on xubuntu 14.04 lts | 12:28 |
| natus | klopsi-u3: I searched already, I sended the same message on the ubuntu irc to see if there is a solution. | 12:28 |
| ochosi | just give it some time | 12:29 |
| ochosi | 4.12 was only released a few hours ago | 12:29 |
| ochosi | after almost three years, i guess you can wait a few more hours/days ;) | 12:29 |
| Bwithmore19 | it will go to xubuntu main repo or not ? | 12:30 |
| Bwithmore19 | or i will just use ppa ? | 12:30 |
| natus | Bwithmore19: you can use ppa look here https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/xfce-4.12 | 12:34 |
| ochosi | Bwithmore19: this answers your question: https://twitter.com/bluesabredavis/status/570387123024433152 | 12:34 |
| natus | but it is not the stable version xubuntu devs said | 12:35 |
| elfy | natus: ochosi IS one of them :) | 12:35 |
| natus | elfy: haha :D | 12:35 |
| elfy | Bwithmore19: give people a chance to get anything that will turn up in 14.04 there | 12:36 |
| elfy | and if things need testing with 14.04 - wait a while longer as it is a long haul actually getting anyone to do so | 12:37 |
| Bwithmore19 | ok man i will | 12:37 |
| Bwithmore19 | wait and see if will go to xubuntu 14.04 main repository | 12:37 |
| jatt | is there a official ppa to upgrade to the latest xfce 4.12? | 12:41 |
| elfy | https://twitter.com/bluesabredavis/status/570387123024433152 | 12:42 |
| elfy | DalePayman: https://twitter.com/bluesabredavis/status/570387123024433152 | 13:47 |
| DalePayman | Hey All! What's the best way to upgrade to Xfce 4.12 on my Xubuntu 14.04? Thx in advance! | 13:47 |
| elfy | ^^ | 13:47 |
| DalePayman | so i have to wait :-| | 13:50 |
| elfy | yep - and it appears patience is foreign | 13:57 |

| xubuntu288 | I already installed xubuntu, but UEFI woes made me rethink going dual boot. What is the best way to wipe windows and install xubuntu as my sole operating system? | 16:58 |
| Alftand | i have an idea | 16:59 |
| Alftand | once i installed xubuntu on a UEFI computer | 16:59 |
| Alftand | what i did was that i went into bios settings and set it to CSM boot | 16:59 |
| Alftand | like compatibility mode | 16:59 |
| Alftand | then i installed it | 16:59 |
| Alftand | although windows wont boot when u set it to CSM | 17:00 |
| Alftand | keep it on UEFI | 17:00 |
| Alftand | when u imaged the xfce install disc | 17:00 |
| xubuntu288 | Gotcha. It does not offer "Wipe Windows" as it did the first round. The previous install involved manual partitioning. It seems grubx64 did not find a place in the ESP partition | 17:00 |
| Alftand | set the PC to CSM then boot the install disc | 17:00 |
| Alftand | all i say is change it from UEFI to CSM | 17:01 |
| Alftand | it will work like a dream and install normally | 17:01 |
| xubuntu288 | Esentially, I can see the xxx.efi's in the firmware control. Yeah, completely avoiding EFI would be nice, especially since am at the point where I could care less about Windows. | 17:02 |
| xubuntu288 | Oh, to complete the first sentence... but they dont show up as an option upon boot... Yup, CSM it is. | 17:03 |
| xubuntu288 | Thanks | 17:04 |
| Alftand | (wow, im only 13 and im already helping other linux users) | 17:05 |
| Azelphur | Alftand: age doesn't dictate what you can and cannot do, when I was 13 I was already well into programming and was building my own computers, etc. Another guy I know is 14 and manages a lot of Mozillas UK online presence | 17:25 |
| drc | Installed 15.04B1...where are we talking about it (not necessarily bug/reports, but) questions to see if it is a local/regional/global problem, observations and things like that? Here, -devel, +1 ? | 17:45 |
| holstein | !15.05 | 17:45 |
| holstein | !15.04 | 17:45 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) will be the 22nd release of Ubuntu due for release in April 2015. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. For more info see the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1425 | 17:45 |
| drc | thanks | 17:45 |
| holstein | though, likely also relevant in the #xubuntu-devel channel for xubuntu specific discussion, drc | 17:45 |
| drc | what if it is a purely XFCE/Xbuntu problem, such a panel oddities? | 17:45 |
| drc | Read my mind :) | 17:46 |
| holstein | drc: as far as "observations", that might be more like a wishlist bug.. im not sure where the "complaints department" is, these days ;) | 17:46 |
| drc | bitbucket? :) | 17:46 |
| holstein | you can always go upstream to the xfce project its self | 17:46 |
| drc | thanks | 17:47 |

| CrossPope16 | hello | 18:44 |
| klopsi-u3 | hi CrossPope16 | 18:45 |
| CrossPope16 | is Thunderbird always this buggy or is it like that only on xubuntu? | 18:45 |
| elfy | well - works fine for me and I'm using Xubuntu | 18:46 |
| CrossPope16 | yeah well, I guess it's okay | 18:46 |
| CrossPope16 | but you see, I have like 8000 emails on my yahoo acount | 18:46 |
| elfy | why not just say what the problem is :) | 18:47 |
| CrossPope16 | I ticked the option to "Synchronize the most recent 30 days" emails | 18:47 |
| CrossPope16 | it still downloads all 8000 of them :/ | 18:47 |
| CrossPope16 | oh bloody hell now it's downloading 13 thousand message headers | 18:48 |
| elfy | mmm no idea about that I'm afraid, but if no-one else can help in here, try #ubuntu as tbird is the same regardless | 18:48 |
| CrossPope16 | tho I like Xubuntu so far | 18:51 |
| CrossPope16 | but I think there's a bug for the desktop can you guys test it? | 18:51 |
| elfy | CrossPope16: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=2674517 | 18:52 |
| CrossPope16 | thanks elfy, I think I found the fix! | 18:55 |
| CrossPope16 | do you know whether I will still receive email if I close Thunderbird? | 18:58 |

| supsup | hi i just installed ubuntu, in sound settings it lists my sound card and it acts like it is playing music, but no sound is coming out | 21:01 |
| klopsi-u3 | supsup what are you using to play sounds? | 21:11 |
| klopsi-u3 | ?what do you mean it is acting like it is playing music? | 21:12 |
| supsup | klopsi-u3 i figured it out thanks! i use using digital profile vs analog | 21:23 |
| klopsi-u3 | ah good deal | 21:24 |
| spk_ | *testtest* | 22:05 |
| klopsi-u3 | test successful | 22:05 |
| spk_ | Woo! | 22:06 |
| spk_ | I have just installed Xubuntu in an old comp I built and have strange video issues that I haven't seen described anywhere else | 22:07 |
| klopsi-u3 | maybe you have bad video ram | 22:07 |

| bcowan | err where in settings | 22:14 |
| drc | Desktop...Appearence...Default Icons. | 22:15 |

| bcowan | hmm did that and home and trash disapeared too | 22:17 |
| bcowan | oh well | 22:17 |
| majorgrub | Hi all | 22:17 |
| bcowan | thanks | 22:18 |
| majorgrub | I kind of have an issue with the sleep mode configuration... | 22:18 |
| drc | bcowan: The re-click the Home and Trash and NOT the removable Devices. | 22:18 |
| majorgrub | I configured my xubuntu so that it never goes to sleep nor turn off the screen but it doesn't seem to be working | 22:18 |
| majorgrub | When I'm watching a movie, it goes to sleep after like 15minutes | 22:19 |
| bcowan | drc, thanks | 22:19 |
| majorgrub | Maybe it's because I didn't turn off "light locker" | 22:20 |
| majorgrub | hmm... | 22:20 |
| majorgrub | I just did, will see if it changes something | 22:20 |

| supsup | hey guys I just installed this today, quick question: How do I make my monitor changes done in ARandR persist per session? | 23:11 |
| supsup | when i log out they revert back | 23:11 |
| crond | Question: Can I cp -a /usr, /home, and /opt to new partitions on a drive, edit /etc/fstab with the UUID's for those partitions and the mountpoints, and then reboot to effectively migrate without reinstalling? | 23:13 |
| pleia2 | crond: and /boot and /etc and /lib and /var... you'd need to copy almost everything and install grub | 23:15 |
| crond | pleia2, no, I only want to move those directories actually | 23:17 |
| crond | I have 16gb SSD, and I've added a 1TB HDD, so I just want to move the big stuff | 23:18 |
| crond | pleia2, so is that the right way to do it? | 23:18 |
| pleia2 | crond: oh, I see, you aren't reinstalling the whole disk | 23:18 |
| pleia2 | crond: yeah, that should work ok | 23:18 |
| supsup_ | i logged out so unsure if anyone said something about how to make ARandR settings not reset per session | 23:19 |
| pleia2 | you don't really need to reboot though, just mount the new ones over the old | 23:19 |
| pleia2 | I suppose you might want to reboot to test that fstab is working properly, but there's no actual need to do so | 23:19 |
| crond | pleia2, okay, awesome, thanks | 23:20 |
| supsup_ | pleia2 do you use two screens? | 23:20 |
| pleia2 | supsup_: nope, sorry | 23:20 |
