| xubuntu33i | Hello! First time using linux and decided to try the latest Xubuntu (install on another HD along Win 7). It's nice, but after playing couple hours yesterday already now i feel i want to simply customize customize customize more :) Well, it's something to begin with. | 04:32 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu33i | I wonder one thing though. I wanted to have one partition that Windows can access aswell (NTFS), and wanted to name that /media, but the installer was bitching about something, so i changed it from the available options to /windows. Is it basically the same thing? | 04:34 |
| xubuntu33i | Now that i'm thinking, maybe /media/*some name instead*... Well, probably something i can change latest. Famous last words perhaps. | 04:37 |

| jean-guy | in xubuntu, is there an equivalent of the ascii table? | 10:36 |
| knome | yes, the character map under accessories | 10:38 |
| jean-guy | okee cool.... yes, i can see it under accessories. thanks knone for your help | 10:40 |
| jean-guy | hi knome, can u explain how use the table ? For example, how to import any character into my topenOffice text editor? | 10:49 |
| knome | openoffice (or libreoffice) has its own tool for picking characters, see insert -> special character | 10:49 |

| jean-guy | good day. In xubuntu, is there an application that will take mp3, and convert them into audio, and then burn the audio music on a CD | 13:50 |
| lderan | convert to mp3 or from mp3? | 13:54 |
| lderan | mp3 is an audio file extension | 13:54 |
| jean-guy | well, when I try to add mp3 in k3b, it refused | 13:54 |
| jean-guy | so I imagine, the mp3 must be converted before it can be burned to a CD as audio | 13:55 |
| lderan | most cd players nowadays can handle mp3, well the ones i've seen at anyrate | 13:55 |
| jean-guy | yes u r rite, however I have an old honda civic 2004, and in my car, it only reads audio files. it don't read mp3 | 13:56 |
| lderan | looks like you need to convert them to .wav files | 13:57 |
| jean-guy | okeeee, yes... u probably rite... so do u know of an application in xubuntu that will do theis conversion from mp3 to .wav ? | 13:57 |
| lderan | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=920345 is a forum that looks to have a bunch of recommendations | 13:58 |
| jean-guy | okee thank you | 13:58 |
| lderan | no problem :) | 13:58 |
| genii | If it only plays standard CDs that is not any kind of file extension whatsoever. | 13:58 |
| jean-guy | my friend has macBook pro, and mac does the necesary conversion i.e. from mp3 to an audio CD that will play in my car | 13:59 |
| jean-guy | but I hate to bother him all the time, so I'd like to find a way to do it by myself | 14:00 |
| genii | Yes, the disc has to be made as CDDA | 14:00 |
| genii | jean-guy: Do you have xubuntu-restricted-extras installed? | 14:00 |
| jean-guy | no, I only have the standard application, + updates off course | 14:01 |
| genii | jean-guy: k3b will use whatever codecs you have already. I would suggest to install the xubuntu-restricted-extras, also libavcodec54 and libavformat-extra-54 and then try to make the CD again | 14:04 |
| jean-guy | ok | 14:05 |
| jean-guy | thank you genii and Ideran for your help | 14:06 |
| jean-guy | hi gnii ... I install SoundConverter from ubuntu software center, and it woks... it converted my mp3 into a file with extention ogg_vorbis | 14:22 |
| jean-guy | and the ogg ext file, can be burned in k3b | 14:23 |
| jean-guy | Now, I still have to do TEST to see if my cd player in my 2004 honda civic will recognize the audio files | 14:24 |
| jean-guy | thanks for your help | 14:24 |
| lderan | hope it works | 14:24 |
| jean-guy | ya Ideran... thanks | 14:27 |

| xubuntu51w | Hi, I a | 19:22 |
| xubuntu51w | I have some troubles after closing the laptop lid and unlocking - the screen stays grey | 19:24 |
| holstein | xubuntu51w: i would simply look for and apply upgrades, and reboot.. and test again.. in a terminal "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 19:24 |
| holstein | if that doesnt work, i would try tty, and see if i can look at a log, or, try *not* locking the screen when going for sleep.. see if there is any effect | 19:25 |
| xubuntu51w | Okay, holstein, I'll try upgrades 1st | 19:26 |
| xubuntu46w | Hi, Holstein, I have a question - when I'm testing and the screen doesn't appear - is there any shortcut I can use to restart dm? | 19:33 |
| holstein | xubuntu46w: maybe.. but, are you able to get to tty? can you ssh into the machine? have you tried disabling the lock? | 19:33 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/215632/restart-xfce-from-tty1 is relevant | 19:34 |
| holstein | maybe simply "sudo restart lightdm" | 19:34 |
| xubuntu79w | Hmm, CTRL+ALT+F* -> no way getting back | 19:39 |
| knome | xubuntu79w, F7 (or F8) is the GUI TTY | 19:40 |
| xubuntu79w | Yeah, I think it is F7.. but I cannot get it back | 19:41 |
| holstein | !tty | 19:41 |
| ubottu | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 19:41 |
| holstein | xubuntu79w: you literally wont hurt anthing jumping around in them.. try it | 19:41 |
| xubuntu79w | holstein: I know, but I cannot go back to the gui ; maybe it's easier when I join irc on a diff PC; brb | 19:42 |
| holstein | xubuntu79w: if you are trying to go back to the GUI, f7 or f8, and its not working,then, thats a data point | 19:43 |
| holstein | could be another issue, rather than, the one you are trying to address | 19:43 |
| holstein | no need to add to your issues, though.. now you have "i cant get my system to resume from standby, and i cant get back to tty7".. | 19:43 |
| knome | it might also take some time, so if you bash through them, it can be possible that you don't see the GUI even if it would work | 19:43 |
| xubuntu79w | ok logged in as jensd | 19:44 |
| jensd | Okay, I'll try cycling through | 19:44 |
| jensd | CTRL+ALT+F1 = black | 19:45 |
| jensd | CTRL+ALT+F2->F6 = nothing happens | 19:47 |
| jensd | CTRL+ALT+F7->grey->black | 19:48 |
| holstein | i would try simply going into the GUI for the screensaver, and disabling screenlocking | 19:49 |
| holstein | then, i would setup ssh server while im there, so i can ssh in, or try to, as the machine is locked, and is "dead" in whatever way its dead | 19:50 |
| holstein | i would also search "ubuntu computer model" or "linux computer model" and "resume from standby" or "sleep" and see if others are having issues with that hardware | 19:50 |
| holstein | you can share any relevant model #'s here, and a volunteer can assist with that.. jensd | 19:50 |
| jensd | screenlocking should be disabled | 19:52 |
| jensd | as far as I know, I don't have any screensaver active | 19:53 |
| holstein | jensd: sure, friend.. and im not saying you do. but, in the screensaver settings i reference, you can diable the locking of the screen, when the machine goes to standby | 19:53 |
| holstein | jensd: and, it *should* be enabled, by default.. so, please, open the screensaver settings, and look for the tickbox i reference, and dsiable locking the screen when going to sleep, and test again.. | 19:54 |
| jensd | Yeah, that the one I disabled | 19:56 |
| holstein | jensd: can you ssh into the machine? after it fails to resume? can you share the model # here? | 19:57 |
| jensd | holstein: hp pavilion dm1 (AMD E-350) | 20:01 |
| holstein | jensd: you have AMD graphics,then? and you are using the proprietary driver? | 20:04 |
| jensd | Yes, I am | 20:05 |
| holstein | jensd: how was it with the open driver? are you using the driver from the repos? | 20:05 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1887128 seems relevant | 20:06 |
| jensd | I'm using fglrx-updates in 3rd party drivers | 20:08 |
| holstein | jensd: cool.. if its me, i try the open drivers, as well, and use them, if they fit my needs, and the hardware supports them better | 20:10 |
| jensd | I'll try post#5 | 20:10 |
| jensd | did not help | 20:15 |
| jensd | holstein: I'll try open ones | 20:16 |
| jensd | okay, I can use ttl again | 20:21 |
| jensd | holstein: Is it possible that HTML canvas test is much slower with open drivers? Or might it have something to do with the chrome update? | 20:23 |
| sleezio | hi, fighting a samba mount, is it possible to use a path with a space in it? i have a share 'media center', but when trying to mount it, the space is causing errors, so i tried media%20center, but that doesn't seem to work either | 20:27 |
| RJ45 | Hi, I'm considering just upgrading to 14.04 instead of re-installing everything like I usually do, this isn't an option I'd usually go with as I have a literal phobia of updates, in-fact since installing 12.04 I disabled updates of any kind, as a user who has thus-far never installed an update, is there anything I should know? a | 23:25 |
| RJ45 | so-far I have read this http://xubuntu.org/news/5-things-to-do-after-upgrading-from-12-04-to-14-04/ | 23:25 |
| Azelphur | RJ45: you disabled security updates? that's stupid | 23:27 |
| RJ45 | Azelphur: I know, but I seriously have a phobia of updates | 23:27 |
| Azelphur | and apparently no phobia of joining a botnet :) | 23:28 |
| RJ45 | har-de-har | 23:28 |
| RJ45 | just don't do anything really stupid, simple | 23:28 |
| RJ45 | maybe I'm ignorant, eh well | 23:29 |
| Azelphur | you mean, like disabling security updates? :) | 23:29 |
| RJ45 | ¬_¬ | 23:29 |
| drc | RJ: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/04/upgrade-ubuntu-14-04-12-04 states "First things first: make sure that you are fully up-to-date". If you have disabled updates, I'm not sure that this will end well for you. | 23:30 |
| RJ45 | okay well I'm going to enable updates for the first time, anything I should expect? maybe some applications breaking? (one of my reasons for just disabling stupid updates) | 23:30 |
| drc | TBH, I'm not sure...12.04 XUBUNTU has EOL'd, but the UBUNTU spects of ot are still supported. I guess you'll just have to try it and see. | 23:32 |
| RJ45 | I'm always hearing horror stories of crap breaking whenever people update, biggest reason for just disabling updates | 23:33 |
| drc | RJ, have <you> ever had a problem, or is this this just stories from the 'net? | 23:33 |
| drc | RJ45: Personally, I'd make sure my backups are good, try the upgrade...and if it doesn't work, do a fresh install of 14.04 | 23:35 |
| RJ45 | drc: I come across stories of stuff breaking after update all the time in Ubuntu/Xubuntu forums | 23:36 |
| RJ45 | I'm gonna make a USB boot of 14.04 just-in-case it all goes to heck | 23:37 |
| drc | Good plan. | 23:39 |
| drc | you do know 14.04.2 is the current iso? | 23:39 |
| RJ45 | yep | 23:40 |
| drc | then...damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead :) | 23:41 |
| RJ45 | one of my reasons for delaying 14.04 was to wait for that last .# to get to a higher number ;) | 23:41 |
| drc | "They" recommend updating LTS's at the .1 release. | 23:42 |
| RJ45 | pfft, I did that for 10.04.1 Ubuntu, it suuucked | 23:43 |
| RJ45 | oh one last thing, I encrypted my /home/ AFTER installation of 12.04, will this be a problem? | 23:44 |
| drc | no idea | 23:44 |
| RJ45 | and I'm also experiencing that 60+ seconds to get to the desktop bug after encrypting it, a bug which doesn't seem to have a fix yet | 23:45 |
