| Nixus | anyone why youtube videos are lagging on my netbook? | 01:28 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | what's your netbook? | 01:29 |
| Nixus | thinkpad x121e | 01:30 |
| Nixus | "decent" | 01:30 |
| Nixus | idk, whenever I bump it up to 720p, it goes to 5 fps | 01:31 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | might be a video driver issue | 01:33 |
| Nixus | hmm | 01:33 |
| drc | Nixus: You have trouble watching video @ 720p anywhere else or just Youtube? | 01:38 |
| Nixus | anything video on the internet | 01:38 |
| drc | Any video anywhere on the 'net? | 01:39 |
| Nixus | yes | 01:39 |
| Nixus | flash player issue? | 01:40 |
| Nixus | I have tried flash games, 1 fps | 01:40 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | use chrome? | 01:40 |
| drc | You said "netbook"...they are notoriously underpowered and Flash is notoriously ravenous... | 01:41 |
| Nixus | http://www.pcworld.com/product/808324/lenovo-thinkpad-x120e-05962ru-notebook.html | 01:42 |
| drc | Probably not :) | 01:43 |
| Nixus | 6410 is OK, though am used to nvidia stuff. I have a 670 4gb on my other machine | 01:44 |
| Nixus | 6310* | 01:44 |
| drc | Try this, run another distro's LiveUSB and see if you have the same problem (SolydX has all codecs OOTB). | 01:44 |
| Nixus | ok, I'll try that out! thanks for the time! | 01:45 |
| drc | Nixus: The one thing you never said anything about was your Net Connection/ISP. Your Up/Down specs fast enough to run video on the net? | 01:46 |
| Nixus | yes | 01:46 |
| drc | OK...best to ask the easy ones first :) | 01:46 |
| Nixus | speed test says 43 down 9 up | 01:47 |
| drc | That'll do donkey...that'll do.... :) | 01:48 |
| Nixus | provider says 100, lol | 01:48 |
| Nixus | maybe on ethernet | 01:48 |
| drc | 100 when pigs fly :) | 01:48 |
| Nixus | :) | 01:49 |

| encxu | hi, i want to install xubuntu on usb with full encryption and also to be able to store data (persistence). is it possible and most important how? | 13:14 |
| ObrienDave | best way is to use the live DVD and install to the USB stick. | 13:15 |
| ObrienDave | I have several of those | 13:15 |
| encxu | ObrienDave: should i make partitions first? | 13:16 |
| ObrienDave | you can use unetbootin or pendrivelinux but the "persistance" is limited for some reason | 13:16 |
| ObrienDave | not on USB stick. let the installer use the whole USB stick | 13:17 |
| encxu | i have used unetbootin but it doesn't give me the choice of full encryption | 13:17 |
| ObrienDave | only from the DVD installer | 13:18 |
| ObrienDave | boot live DVD. from that desktop install to USB stick using entire drive and encryption | 13:19 |
| encxu | how about persistance, when i can do that? | 13:20 |
| encxu | i guess it will do that automatically, as it was a hard disk | 13:21 |
| ObrienDave | you don't need to if you install like i described. only programs like unetbootin, pendrivelinux and yumi give you a persistence option | 13:22 |
| encxu | ok, thanks | 13:22 |
| ObrienDave | the reason is unetbootin, etc. format the stick fat32, where live DVD uses ext4 | 13:23 |
| GeekIrssi | I'm having pretty bad samba configuration issues. Running `sudo apt-get purge samba && sudo apt-get autoremove --purge` didn't actually remove the samba configuration files. What gives? | 15:14 |
| GeekIrssi | a simple `find / | grep samb` returns that key files such as /etc/samba/smb.conf | 15:14 |
| GeekIrssi | still exist | 15:15 |
| GeekIrssi | would it be alright to just delete /etc/samba/smb.conf manually? | 15:26 |
| elfy | maybe better to rename it? sudo mv /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.bak or something | 15:28 |
| GeekIrssi | aha | 15:29 |
| GeekIrssi | I did `mv /etc/samba /etc/samba.bak` then re-installed samba | 15:29 |
| GeekIrssi | and now it appears to be working | 15:29 |
| GeekIrssi | Well, thanks elfy. I've gotta go now | 15:36 |
| elfy | GeekIrssi: gald it helped :) | 15:36 |
| kikero | Hey! | 16:20 |
| kikero | My nm-applet has disappeared from both of my xubuntu laptops some time ago, but I was okay with that as long as it knew to connect to the wifi network I had. | 16:23 |
| kikero | When I changed places, though, it stopped working. | 16:24 |
| kikero | What could I do about it? | 16:26 |
| TimeVirus | where would I find screensaver options in Xubuntu 14.04? | 16:43 |
| drc | TimeVirus: It's been a while (and I don't have 14.04 installed anymore to check), but seeing as how no one else is answering, I'd start here. http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/ | 17:01 |
| TimeVirus | ok thanks drc | 17:03 |
| TimeVirus | third from bottom response seems to favor have a television nearby - lol and not what I was thinking about! | 17:04 |
| TimeVirus | Used to have a very good screensaver that made my monitor look very much like a tropical, saltwater fish tank - did like that one for quite some time | 17:07 |
| drc | Wish I could help more, but 1) It's been awhile; 2) I never used screensavers anyway, just turn them off and 3) IIRC this was in the middle of the Great Screensaver Controversy :) | 17:07 |
| TimeVirus | no worries | 17:07 |
| TimeVirus | not a big deal | 17:07 |
| TimeVirus | I also like the saving of electroons | 17:08 |
| TimeVirus | electrons* | 17:08 |
| drc | Yeah, I hear there's an electron shortage looming on the horizon. | 17:09 |
| TimeVirus | especially when relying on a limited source of said electrons | 17:09 |
| TimeVirus | ie: Li-ion electron storage device | 17:09 |
| drc | Lot's of quarks but an electron shortage :) | 17:10 |
| TimeVirus | indeed | 17:10 |
| nate254 | I'm getting a couple "System program problem detected" messages at boot. Where can I find out which programs are crashing? | 17:14 |
| TimeVirus | logs? | 17:16 |
| elfy | nate254: the crash logs will be in /var/crash if you've not allowed them to be reported | 17:17 |
| elfy | better to let it try to do so, it *should* stop when it's a dupe | 17:17 |
| nate254 | elfy: thanks. what do you mean by a dupe | 17:32 |
| elfy | an already reported bug | 17:34 |
| elfy | it should ask you if you want to 'me too' it | 17:34 |
| elfy | hard to tell for me - not run a released version for about 5 years | 17:34 |
| nate254 | I wasn't aware that you could get prereleases :P | 18:00 |
| elfy | nate254: I'll be running what you'll call 15.10 the day after 15.04 releases, you can do that, you can also contribute to what others get in October ;) http://xubuntu.org/contribute/ | 18:05 |
| nate254 | Yup. Saw that page. Thats why I'm in #xubuntu-devel :P | 18:08 |
| elfy | good ;) | 18:08 |
| nate254 | Where'd you find the "15.10" thing though? How does that work? Is it a rolling release structure? | 18:09 |
| nate254 | Coming from arch and gentoo, I'm not sure if I like the idea of having to upgrade every six months. So that would be awesome lol | 18:09 |
| olamachon | Hey all, Im having an issue with dpkg and am wondering if it is something common. When install Vagrant via deb on 14.10 (kernel 3.17.8), I keep getting 'unable to open x' when unpacking, on different files sometimes. Aside from the kernel upgrade and some dev stuff it's mostly a vanilla install. | 19:35 |
| knome | a kernel upgrade and some dev stuff (if that means different package versions in use) isn't a small thing really.. | 19:35 |
| olamachon | Haha I guess it's not that small, but I only started yesterday | 19:36 |
| olamachon | (Started the install) | 19:40 |
| olamachon | I was planning on downgrading and reinstalling stuff but wanted to see if anyone had any guesses first. I had a bit of ssd troubles a while back, so I don't know | 19:41 |
| olamachon | Nevermind, I figured out it was the AV | 19:44 |
| suncokret | which xubuntu is better to use, 14.04 or 14.10? | 20:29 |
| xangua | 14.04 is LTS, 14.10 is latest | 20:29 |
| suncokret | i know, which you use? | 20:29 |
| knome | it depends completely on your usecase | 20:30 |
| suncokret | i use lubuntu 14.04, maybe i will use xubuntu in future, but i don't know advantages of xubuntu :) | 20:31 |
| suncokret | if i will not lxqt then i will maybe use xfce | 20:32 |
| suncokret | *if i will not like lxqt | 20:32 |
| drc | suncokret: http://xubuntu.org/press/ are some of the reviews about Xubuntu. Asking here will only get you biased answers :) | 20:32 |
| suncokret | is 14.04 have 5 years support? | 20:36 |
| drc | IIRC, 3 years | 20:36 |
| drc | to keep it in line with xfce's support. | 20:36 |
| drc | LTS is 3 years and all other releases are 9 months. | 20:38 |
| suncokret | so new LTS it is plan for 16.04 and also 3 years? | 20:38 |
| drc | Unless things change, yes. | 20:39 |
| === nate254 is now known as saucereyes | ||
| suncokret | i seen that ubuntu lts have 5 years of support, i thought that only lubuntu have 3 years and that xubuntu and kubuntu have 5 years | 20:44 |
| drc | nope | 20:44 |
| drc | xubuntu is 3 | 20:44 |
| xangua | the most efforts are put on the main flavor/unity desktop | 20:44 |
| xangua | and server related packages also have 5 years on LTS | 20:45 |
| === saucereyes is now known as ryclik | ||
| suncokret | i didn't know where to see that, now i find on wikipedia for xubuntu | 20:46 |
| suncokret | i also see for kubuntu, it have 5 years | 20:47 |
| Unit193 | Basically, things in Main are 5 years, and whichever flavors opt-in for 5. Kubuntu (I believe), and the Unity flavors went for 5, Xubuntu and Lubuntu didn't. | 20:47 |
| drc | More folks == more workers :) | 20:47 |
| suncokret | yes, and mint is also 5 | 20:49 |
| drc | TBH, I know very few folks that use xfce that need more than 3 years...server distro's yeah, desktop nope. | 20:51 |
| drc | Sooner or later they start complaining about out of date apps :) | 20:52 |
| suncokret | i don't know, i use lubuntu 14.04 and i plan to use it until it have support :) | 20:54 |
| suncokret | or maybe i will try new version 16.04, and then i will maybe try xubuntu too | 20:54 |
| ObrienDave | you can try xubuntu now. sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 21:19 |
| suncokret | i was try xfce on lubuntu. It is very similar as lxde. | 21:25 |
| suncokret | thanks for help, good night | 22:15 |
| xubuntu39w | I have three computers (two desktops and a really old laptop) running Xubuntu. I wanted to install the same version of Libroffice on all three. The two desktops are 14.10 but the laptop is MUCH older. If I do sudo apt-get install libreoffice in the terminal of the laptop will I still get the latest version of LibreOffice (the same as I'll get from the terminal in the desktops)? | 22:37 |
| knome | if you are running the same version (14.10) and repositories, then yes | 22:38 |
| xubuntu39w | That's what I'm saying, the laptop is MUCH older. (It was asking if I wanted to install 14.04) | 22:39 |
| knome | xubuntu39w, if you are running 12.04 on it, you should upgrade; the support for xubuntu 12.04 ends this month | 22:40 |
| xubuntu39w | I would upgrade but it's so slow. It might take ten hours. What happens if I don't upgrade? | 22:41 |
| knome | then you will have no official support | 22:41 |
| knome | and if bugs arise, they will not be fixed | 22:41 |
| pleia2 | and you can't get new libreoffice on it anyway | 22:42 |
| knome | true | 22:42 |
| xubuntu39w | So what will I get? | 22:42 |
| knome | the latest libreoffice packaged for 12.04 | 22:42 |
| pleia2 | the version that came out in 2012 | 22:43 |
| xubuntu39w | And if I upgrade to Trusty Tahr? | 22:43 |
| pleia2 | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libreoffice | 22:43 |
| pleia2 | shows you the versions of packages per release ^^ | 22:43 |
| pleia2 | 4.2.7 with 14.04, 4.3.3 with 14.10 | 22:44 |
| knome | (and 3.5.7 for 12.04) | 22:44 |
| xubuntu39w | I've got 4.2.3.3 on there now (I had to install it manually) so no point in trying to get anything more. | 22:45 |
| xubuntu39w | I really should get a new laptop. :) | 22:45 |
| xubuntu39w | knome, pleia, thanks very much for your help! | 22:46 |
