[00:56] How do I turn off lid close settings on my laptop? I want to close it turning off my screen? [02:29] 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 [02:30] burn a a cd [02:30] Yeah it can totally do that bud. [02:30] cool [02:31] d/l the ISO for free. no need to buy [02:31] and what movies are you wanting to watch? [02:31] DVDs? [02:32] streaming? [02:32] youtube? [02:32] Hey, this is a windows xp system. if download iso, don't know how to go about making it run. [02:32] Burning to a CD is probably easiest. [02:32] or DVD rather. [02:32] but then thats streaming too yes but my streaming I meant Netflix or something like that [02:32] burn ISO to DVD, boot DVD and try [02:33] Or, USB. [02:33] install if you like it [02:33] youtube and other free site type movies. and i guess tutuorials are at youtube [02:33] i ha netflix [02:33] free can be done a few ways [02:34] free ..... keep talking ... am listinening [02:34] for netflix you can install Google Chrome and with Ubuntu it will work no problem [02:34] free OS, free software. does not get any better [02:35] I use a program called smplayer and smtube for watching youtube as I dont like to fire up a browser for that [02:36] installing Linux is easy peasy [02:36] thanks, these programs ie... smplayer are downloadable after i get Xubuntu running on this laptop [02:36] yes [02:36] all you need to do is go to the homepage and read about how to do it [02:36] really is easy [02:37] it will take a little learning on your part. once you get the hang of it, it's very easy [02:37] installing Xubuntu that is all the rest CAN be even easier [02:37] 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 [02:38] 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] no cd drive? [02:38] homepate... ? Xubuntu homepage.... to find out how to install online. is this correct???? [02:38] Ubuntu [02:38] you'll have to use someone elses computer to do the burning [02:39] you can't from XP [02:39] 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] i can't burn a cd [02:39] can't put a flashdrive in this laptop [02:40] Yikes [02:40] Locked down pretty good eh? [02:40] no USB ports? [02:40] old computer. runninjg window xp sp3 [02:41] the only usb port i inoperative [02:41] Tighttt [02:41] cls [02:41] yours is NOT as old as mine for I own a D420 and it is running Xubuntu very nicely indeed [02:41] go buy a cheap USB add-in card [02:41] lol [02:42] oh, laptop. dang [02:42] that Dell has a pcmcia slot yes? [02:43] Can I run fluxbox-type window decorations from withing xfce? [02:43] I always find the title bars use too many pixels by default. [02:43] 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???

[02:44] forget the add-in card. find one that works off of the pcmcia slot [02:45] yes [02:45] i see, thanks , am cooking,,,, got ta go.. thanks everyone [02:45] there are pcmcia cards that can give you usb2 or even 3 [02:45] cya bud [02:46] http://www.frys.com/product/4562347?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG [02:46] thanks for the link [02:46] Haven't seen one of those for a long time. [02:46] haha [02:46] just for an example. you're welcome [02:47] So, dudes. Anyone have an internet radio app they like? [02:47] I LOVE my old Dell :) [02:47] lol [02:48] still ticking after 8+ years [02:48] a bit tight on RAM but is good to go with Xubuntu and others [02:49] RAM-limited machines were how I came to love Linux in general. [02:49] not really radio, but i like pithos for pandora client [02:49] and comm ports bespeckle it rather nicely [02:49] Reviving old PCs. [02:49] yeah [02:50] this dude even has IR lol [02:50] not very useful but fun [02:50] I am NOT into the default music player that comes with Xubuntu. [02:50] smplayer for me [02:51] I wish I could have something like foobar2000 [02:51] But with radio functionality. [04:01] hey can anyone help me with my ftp server? [04:02] 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] !ftp [04:02] FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [04:03] ok holstein [06:43] Does anyone have probem with ejecting usb hdd in Xubuntu? Can you have a look at this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1434766 and confirm it [06:43] Launchpad bug 1434766 in thunar (Ubuntu) "No eject option in thunar after plugging in a usb hdd" [Undecided,New] [08:36] How to change default terminal when I click ctrl+alt+t ? [08:50] Hello, I have a problem setting up extended display over 2 external moniters (laptop is in dock) [12:31] Good morning all! o/ [15:51] 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? [15:52] s/4.14/4.12/ [15:54] * drc would be perfectly happy to be show the blantently obvious config that he looked at a dozen times and just never saw :) [15:57] drc: it's a hidden setting [15:57] hide-controls-timeout [15:57] i guess we should really document that one [15:58] Yeah, hiding something and then touting it on the webpage is counterproductive :) [15:59] Thanks [16:01] 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 [16:02] Must be these old eyes.... [16:25] 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] yes [16:25] you have to create the key (integer) [16:29] ochosi: Property = hide-controls-timeout, Type=Int, Value = 3 Will not let me add this (Live USB related?) [16:30] ochosi: wait, I think I see my mistake. [16:31] nope...I was wronog about being wrong :) [17:57] drc: so wait, you got me confused there, it worked fine..? [17:59] Sorry about that :) [18:00] as long as everything is fine and works as expected, it's fine ;) [18:00] Yes, I figured it out...not intuitive (you have to place a "/" at the start of the property). [18:01] Figured it out from looking at the others there. Never did figure out how to make an "empty" one (like audio/volume) [18:02] But who really cares, it works fine :) [18:03] 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] the menu of parole you mean? [18:04] yup [18:04] the hiding of the menubar is not remembered for longer than one session [18:04] we considered it, and i was considering adding another hidden option for it [18:04] we didn't want users to be stranded without menubar if they screw up once [18:05] 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. [18:06] But I do understand the caution [18:06] hm, never noticed, lemme try that [18:07] true, that's a bit of a bummer [18:07] i guess i could really add a persistent hidden option [18:07] 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) [18:08] BTW, Parole has gotten much, much better recently :) [18:09] thanks, that's nice to hear [18:09] we still have a few things i'd like to improve [18:09] the plugin installer sucks [18:10] There's always room for improvement...but just adding things is not always improvement. [18:10] yeah, but the plugin installer is already there [18:11] Oh, that was a general comment typed (bit not returned) before your plugin comment. [18:11] oh [18:11] agreed in that case [18:41] drc: k, so i added that persistent option, wasn't very hard... [18:43] It'll come thru the next update? [18:44] well so far i haven't pushed the code yet [18:44] i'm not 100% sure what should happen in some cases [18:45] i guess while i'm at it i should also fix the menubar showing up again after fullscreen [18:45] Would be nice :0 [18:49] It's one of those little annoyances that magnifies itself all out of proportion over time. [19:00] 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 [19:01] more info http://ur1.ca/k4jxn [19:04] ibouvousaime: this seems to be a question for the blender folks [19:04] it think its mora driver problem [19:04] more* [19:05] ibouvousaime, if it's a driver problem and you are using the proprietary driver, then you need to contact nvidia [19:07] every thing was ok when I had manjaro I wonder what I'm missing [19:09] probably different driver/driver-version [19:09] try reinstalling from additional drivers [19:09] drc: http://git.xfce.org/apps/parole/commit/?id=770d977315b2d326dff9a96fd8bb65b9d5093939 (will be released with parole 0.8.1) [19:11] Sounds good to me...thanks for the work. [19:15] Parole 0.8.1 to be released about Xubuntu 15.10 time frame? [19:20] i guess [19:21] just use vlc [19:21] don't wanna :) [19:21] xangua, or... use parole and report bugs so it can be improved. [19:21] besides, I'd use smpplayer. [19:22] knome: last time I uses parole couldn't play half DVD's that play OK on VLC and Totem [19:22] only made it until the menu screen, selected play the movie and that's all [19:23] xangua, i didn't say complaining helps us improve it. [19:23] wasn't a complain, it was a comentary [19:24] I also like it and it looks cool [21:08] Is Xubuntu available for ARM? I don't see a release [21:08] but I think I saw on /g/ that someone had one [21:09] there is no official port. [21:11] K, that sucks, thanks [21:15] gary-ruseman, until you acknowledge how much time it would take to support an official port, i wouldn't say it sucks. [21:15] gary-ruseman, you can probably get xubuntuish system installed to an ARM device by installing ubuntu for ARM, then installing the xubuntu-desktop metapackage [21:19] I did a couple of years ago with armfh or something like that [21:21] they are gone.
