|---|---|---|
| xubuntu34w | Ok, Guess I'm here.. First time here. Have Dell Latitude D6xx older laptop. Want to buy Xubuntu cd from somewhere. this machine would be used for music and online movies 99% of the time. I don't know any of the commands in unix/linux Xubuntu etc..... Can Xubuntu show movies. Any idea where I can get tutorials online. would like to read tutorials on other laptop while Xubuntu is on this one after I install it. This computer has no | 02:29 |
| xubuntu34w | burn a a cd | 02:30 |
| StanDarsh | Yeah it can totally do that bud. | 02:30 |
| xubuntu34w | cool | 02:30 |
| ObrienDave | d/l the ISO for free. no need to buy | 02:31 |
| TimeVirus | and what movies are you wanting to watch? | 02:31 |
| TimeVirus | DVDs? | 02:31 |
| TimeVirus | streaming? | 02:32 |
| TimeVirus | youtube? | 02:32 |
| xubuntu34w | Hey, this is a windows xp system. if download iso, don't know how to go about making it run. | 02:32 |
| StanDarsh | Burning to a CD is probably easiest. | 02:32 |
| StanDarsh | or DVD rather. | 02:32 |
| TimeVirus | but then thats streaming too yes but my streaming I meant Netflix or something like that | 02:32 |
| ObrienDave | burn ISO to DVD, boot DVD and try | 02:32 |
| Unit193 | Or, USB. | 02:33 |
| ObrienDave | install if you like it | 02:33 |
| xubuntu34w | youtube and other free site type movies. and i guess tutuorials are at youtube | 02:33 |
| xubuntu34w | i ha netflix | 02:33 |
| TimeVirus | free can be done a few ways | 02:33 |
| xubuntu34w | free ..... keep talking ... am listinening | 02:34 |
| TimeVirus | for netflix you can install Google Chrome and with Ubuntu it will work no problem | 02:34 |
| ObrienDave | free OS, free software. does not get any better | 02:34 |
| TimeVirus | I use a program called smplayer and smtube for watching youtube as I dont like to fire up a browser for that | 02:35 |
| TimeVirus | installing Linux is easy peasy | 02:36 |
| xubuntu34w | thanks, these programs ie... smplayer are downloadable after i get Xubuntu running on this laptop | 02:36 |
| ObrienDave | yes | 02:36 |
| TimeVirus | all you need to do is go to the homepage and read about how to do it | 02:36 |
| TimeVirus | really is easy | 02:36 |
| ObrienDave | it will take a little learning on your part. once you get the hang of it, it's very easy | 02:37 |
| TimeVirus | installing Xubuntu that is all the rest CAN be even easier | 02:37 |
| xubuntu34w | look i have been searching how to download Xubuntu online and get it going that way. because i have no ce or flash drive capability | 02:37 |
| StanDarsh | Well, to play music and online music it's gonna be perfect. Use a DVD dude, USB is easy too but a bit more involved. | 02:38 |
| TimeVirus | no cd drive? | 02:38 |
| xubuntu34w | homepate... ? Xubuntu homepage.... to find out how to install online. is this correct???? | 02:38 |
| TimeVirus | Ubuntu | 02:38 |
| ObrienDave | you'll have to use someone elses computer to do the burning | 02:38 |
| ObrienDave | you can't from XP | 02:39 |
| xubuntu34w | understood. i might as well just buy the cd from some place if it's not possible to download and install it online. | 02:39 |
| xubuntu34w | i can't burn a cd | 02:39 |
| xubuntu34w | can't put a flashdrive in this laptop | 02:39 |
| StanDarsh | Yikes | 02:40 |
| StanDarsh | Locked down pretty good eh? | 02:40 |
| ObrienDave | no USB ports? | 02:40 |
| xubuntu34w | old computer. runninjg window xp sp3 | 02:40 |
| xubuntu34w | the only usb port i inoperative | 02:41 |
| StanDarsh | Tighttt | 02:41 |
| xubuntu34w | cls | 02:41 |
| TimeVirus | yours is NOT as old as mine for I own a D420 and it is running Xubuntu very nicely indeed | 02:41 |
| ObrienDave | go buy a cheap USB add-in card | 02:41 |
| TimeVirus | lol | 02:41 |
| ObrienDave | oh, laptop. dang | 02:42 |
| TimeVirus | that Dell has a pcmcia slot yes? | 02:42 |
| StanDarsh | Can I run fluxbox-type window decorations from withing xfce? | 02:43 |
| StanDarsh | I always find the title bars use too many pixels by default. | 02:43 |
| xubuntu34w | ok, so got accomplished . where to get tutorials (youtube). consider buying a usb add-in card. homepage for any questions i gots about Xubuntu and for support. am i missing anything. ohhh yea, download chrome for movies and music. miss anything??? | 02:43 |
| xubuntu34w | yes, has pcm slot | 02:44 |
| ObrienDave | you did say laptop, yes? | 02:44 |
| xubuntu34w | yes... | 02:44 |
| ObrienDave | forget the add-in card. find one that works off of the pcmcia slot | 02:44 |
| TimeVirus | yes | 02:45 |
| xubuntu34w | i see, thanks , am cooking,,,, got ta go.. thanks everyone | 02:45 |
| TimeVirus | there are pcmcia cards that can give you usb2 or even 3 | 02:45 |
| StanDarsh | cya bud | 02:45 |
| ObrienDave | http://www.frys.com/product/4562347?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG | 02:46 |
| xubuntu34w | thanks for the link | 02:46 |
| StanDarsh | Haven't seen one of those for a long time. | 02:46 |
| StanDarsh | haha | 02:46 |
| ObrienDave | just for an example. you're welcome | 02:46 |
| StanDarsh | So, dudes. Anyone have an internet radio app they like? | 02:47 |
| TimeVirus | I LOVE my old Dell :) | 02:47 |
| TimeVirus | lol | 02:47 |
| TimeVirus | still ticking after 8+ years | 02:48 |
| TimeVirus | a bit tight on RAM but is good to go with Xubuntu and others | 02:48 |
| StanDarsh | RAM-limited machines were how I came to love Linux in general. | 02:49 |
| ObrienDave | not really radio, but i like pithos for pandora client | 02:49 |
| TimeVirus | and comm ports bespeckle it rather nicely | 02:49 |
| StanDarsh | Reviving old PCs. | 02:49 |
| TimeVirus | yeah | 02:49 |
| TimeVirus | this dude even has IR lol | 02:50 |
| TimeVirus | not very useful but fun | 02:50 |
| StanDarsh | I am NOT into the default music player that comes with Xubuntu. | 02:50 |
| TimeVirus | smplayer for me | 02:50 |
| StanDarsh | I wish I could have something like foobar2000 | 02:51 |
| StanDarsh | But with radio functionality. | 02:51 |
| DazPetty | hey can anyone help me with my ftp server? | 04:01 |
| holstein | DazPetty: you'll have to ask, and see if a volunteer can assist.. you can use #ubuntu as well, since its not related to xubuntu or xfce | 04:02 |
| holstein | !ftp | 04:02 |

| xubuntu10w | Hello, I have a problem setting up extended display over 2 external moniters (laptop is in dock) | 08:50 |
| knob | Good morning all! o/ | 12:31 |
| drc | From http://xfce.org/about/tour (of xfce 4.14 which is now in Xubuntu 15.04B2)) "The [Parole] media controls are now contained in a slide-over overlay (with a configurable timeout).". Can't find the config for this feature anywhere in Parole. Someone care to enlighten me? | 15:51 |
| drc | s/4.14/4.12/ | 15:52 |
| * drc would be perfectly happy to be show the blantently obvious config that he looked at a dozen times and just never saw :) | 15:54 | |
| ochosi | drc: it's a hidden setting | 15:57 |
| ochosi | hide-controls-timeout | 15:57 |
| ochosi | i guess we should really document that one | 15:57 |
| drc | Yeah, hiding something and then touting it on the webpage is counterproductive :) | 15:58 |
| drc | Thanks | 15:59 |
| ochosi | drc: oh well, either you overlooked it or i just added it a few seconds ago: http://docs.xfce.org/apps/parole/preferences#hidden_settings | 16:01 |
| drc | Must be these old eyes.... | 16:02 |
| xubuntu35w | ochosi: (drc here). This "hidden" setting is one that must be manually added correct? I don't see it listed (but I am using today's daily on a USB). | 16:25 |
| ochosi | yes | 16:25 |
| ochosi | you have to create the key (integer) | 16:25 |
| xubuntu35w | ochosi: Property = hide-controls-timeout, Type=Int, Value = 3 Will not let me add this (Live USB related?) | 16:29 |
| xubuntu35w | ochosi: wait, I think I see my mistake. | 16:30 |
| xubuntu35w | nope...I was wronog about being wrong :) | 16:31 |
| ochosi | drc: so wait, you got me confused there, it worked fine..? | 17:57 |
| drc | Sorry about that :) | 17:59 |
| ochosi | as long as everything is fine and works as expected, it's fine ;) | 18:00 |
| drc | Yes, I figured it out...not intuitive (you have to place a "/" at the start of the property). | 18:00 |
| drc | Figured it out from looking at the others there. Never did figure out how to make an "empty" one (like audio/volume) | 18:01 |
| drc | But who really cares, it works fine :) | 18:02 |
| drc | Now...to figure out how to make the menu not come back after hiding it and then max'ing the window and back :) | 18:03 |
| ochosi | the menu of parole you mean? | 18:03 |
| drc | yup | 18:04 |
| ochosi | the hiding of the menubar is not remembered for longer than one session | 18:04 |
| ochosi | we considered it, and i was considering adding another hidden option for it | 18:04 |
| ochosi | we didn't want users to be stranded without menubar if they screw up once | 18:04 |
| drc | Even one session would be nice, but my experience is that hiding the menu, maxing (F11) the screen and then back to "normal" size makes the menu come back. | 18:05 |
| drc | But I do understand the caution | 18:06 |
| ochosi | hm, never noticed, lemme try that | 18:06 |
| ochosi | true, that's a bit of a bummer | 18:07 |
| ochosi | i guess i could really add a persistent hidden option | 18:07 |
| drc | yup :) That and the timeout were the only things keeping me from not installing smplayer/vlc (don't really need all the abilities of them) | 18:07 |
| drc | BTW, Parole has gotten much, much better recently :) | 18:08 |
| ochosi | thanks, that's nice to hear | 18:09 |
| ochosi | we still have a few things i'd like to improve | 18:09 |
| ochosi | the plugin installer sucks | 18:09 |
| drc | There's always room for improvement...but just adding things is not always improvement. | 18:10 |
| ochosi | yeah, but the plugin installer is already there | 18:10 |
| drc | Oh, that was a general comment typed (bit not returned) before your plugin comment. | 18:11 |
| ochosi | oh | 18:11 |
| ochosi | agreed in that case | 18:11 |
| ochosi | drc: k, so i added that persistent option, wasn't very hard... | 18:41 |
| drc | It'll come thru the next update? | 18:43 |
| ochosi | well so far i haven't pushed the code yet | 18:44 |
| ochosi | i'm not 100% sure what should happen in some cases | 18:44 |
| ochosi | i guess while i'm at it i should also fix the menubar showing up again after fullscreen | 18:45 |
| drc | Would be nice :0 | 18:45 |
| drc | It's one of those little annoyances that magnifies itself all out of proportion over time. | 18:49 |
| ibouvousaime | hello guys I'm trying to use a nvidia card with blender but blender doesnt seem to see it I get his log when I'm trying to see if the gpu is active http://ur1.ca/k4jsr my driver info is http://ur1.ca/k4jto I already have the nvidia seting manager installed and have libcuda1-346 installed | 19:00 |
| ibouvousaime | more info http://ur1.ca/k4jxn | 19:01 |
| ochosi | ibouvousaime: this seems to be a question for the blender folks | 19:04 |
| ibouvousaime | it think its mora driver problem | 19:04 |
| ibouvousaime | more* | 19:04 |
| knome | ibouvousaime, if it's a driver problem and you are using the proprietary driver, then you need to contact nvidia | 19:05 |
| ibouvousaime | every thing was ok when I had manjaro I wonder what I'm missing | 19:07 |
| ochosi | probably different driver/driver-version | 19:09 |
| elfy | try reinstalling from additional drivers | 19:09 |
| ochosi | drc: http://git.xfce.org/apps/parole/commit/?id=770d977315b2d326dff9a96fd8bb65b9d5093939 (will be released with parole 0.8.1) | 19:09 |
| drc | Sounds good to me...thanks for the work. | 19:11 |
| drc | Parole 0.8.1 to be released about Xubuntu 15.10 time frame? | 19:15 |
| ochosi | i guess | 19:20 |
| xangua | just use vlc | 19:21 |
| drc | don't wanna :) | 19:21 |
| knome | xangua, or... use parole and report bugs so it can be improved. | 19:21 |
| drc | besides, I'd use smpplayer. | 19:21 |
| xangua | knome: last time I uses parole couldn't play half DVD's that play OK on VLC and Totem | 19:22 |
| xangua | only made it until the menu screen, selected play the movie and that's all | 19:22 |
| knome | xangua, i didn't say complaining helps us improve it. | 19:23 |
| xangua | wasn't a complain, it was a comentary | 19:23 |
| xangua | I also like it and it looks cool | 19:24 |
| gary-ruseman | Is Xubuntu available for ARM? I don't see a release | 21:08 |
| gary-ruseman | but I think I saw on /g/ that someone had one | 21:08 |
| knome | there is no official port. | 21:09 |
| gary-ruseman | K, that sucks, thanks | 21:11 |
| knome | gary-ruseman, until you acknowledge how much time it would take to support an official port, i wouldn't say it sucks. | 21:15 |
| knome | gary-ruseman, you can probably get xubuntuish system installed to an ARM device by installing ubuntu for ARM, then installing the xubuntu-desktop metapackage | 21:15 |
| elfy | I did a couple of years ago with armfh or something like that | 21:19 |
| knome | they are gone. | 21:21 |
| elfy | always the way ... | 21:21 |
