| daykiller | hi | 00:46 |
| daykiller | Is there a way to back up xubuntu ? | 00:47 |
| bazhang | !sbackup | daykiller | 00:55 |
| ubottu | daykiller: sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe | 00:56 |
| daykiller | thank guys , it looks like it will do the job. :) | 01:03 |
| daykiller | how is everyone | 02:20 |
| holstein | daykiller: why dont you /join #xubuntu-offtopic and we can discuss our personal states of being there :) | 02:27 |
| namreeb | is there something special i need to do to enable vmware's "unity mode" with xubuntu/ | 02:41 |
| === mnepton is now known as mneptok | ||
| xangua | unity mode¿ never heard of it namreeb | 03:01 |
| holstein | AFAIK, its like the integrated mode in virtualbox.. | 03:01 |
| namreeb | yeah | 03:02 |
| bynarie | its like making the windows part of your desktop from the VM | 03:05 |
| namreeb | yeah | 03:05 |
| bynarie | pretty cool feature | 03:05 |
| bynarie | i keep getting this dam software updates screen - https://bynarie.com/update.png but there is NOTHING to install. i keep hitting install and it just goes back to the screen again | 03:06 |
| bynarie | of course i have also used update &&upgrade from shell | 03:07 |
| bynarie | but this bitch keeps poppin up getting on my last nerve | 03:07 |
| holstein | i close that, and open a terminal, and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and address any errors | 03:07 |
| bynarie | anyone ever seen this before or know how to maybe remedy? | 03:07 |
| holstein | if i have 3rd party sources that are causing issues, for example | 03:07 |
| bynarie | holstein, done that several times | 03:07 |
| bynarie | ive cleaned, updated upgraded dist-upgraded autoremove clean etc etc | 03:08 |
| holstein | bynarie: cool.. its working here, so, i cant really tell whats up without looking first hand.. i would see if i could replicate the issue as another user | 03:08 |
| bynarie | i guess im not sure what could be causing the problem.. holstein when u say 3rd party, do you mean like PPAs ive added? | 03:08 |
| cfhowlett | bynarie, run it from terminal for more details: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 03:09 |
| holstein | i would look for a bug, and join.. or stat a new ont | 03:09 |
| holstein | !bug | 03:09 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 03:09 |
| holstein | bynarie: yes.. PPA's are unsupported, so, they can cause issues like that | 03:09 |
| bynarie | oh ok... i wasnt aware they were technically unsupported | 03:09 |
| holstein | !ppa | 03:09 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 03:09 |
| bynarie | i guess i could go through and disable one by one and see if it changes | 03:09 |
| bynarie | !addppa | 03:10 |
| ubottu | A !ppa can be added using a single command « sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name » See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding%20PPAs for more details | 03:10 |
| bynarie | ah, yea | 03:10 |
| holstein | disabling wont likely address it.. since, the packages will still be there from the sources | 03:10 |
| holstein | and, im not saying thats the issue.. just something to be aware of, if we are playing "one of these things is not like the other".. | 03:10 |
| bynarie | one thing to mention.. for a specific package i did put a version lock on it, do you think that could possibly be the culprit (hexchat specefically) | 03:11 |
| bynarie | thanks holstein and cfhowlett | 03:11 |
| cfhowlett | bynarie, best of luck. | 03:11 |
| bynarie | thanks much | 03:11 |
| bynarie | one more thing, anyone had any problems in the last couple of days with the official repos? specifically when using ipv6.. ? | 03:12 |
| holstein | no | 03:12 |
| bynarie | hm ok | 03:13 |
| bynarie | could be my provider messing up | 03:13 |
| holstein | im updating now, and they are working as expected.. | 03:13 |
| bynarie | ok thanks fellas | 03:13 |
| daykiller_ | How long will there be support and updates for xubuntu ? | 03:20 |
| holstein | daykiller: depends on the version you have | 03:20 |
| holstein | !15.04 | 03:20 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/15.04/ - Read the release notes at http://ubottu.com/y/vivid | 03:20 |
| holstein | !14.04 | 03:20 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) was the 20th release of Ubuntu and is the latest !LTS version. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ - CHECK FOR POINT RELEASES at http://releases.ubuntu.com - Release Info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes | 03:20 |
| holstein | the 14.04 LTS's repos are "up" for 5 years. with 3 years promised support for xubuntu.. otherwise, 9 months for the "normal" releases | 03:21 |
| cfhowlett | daykiller, YMMV but I've found that using LTS only has resulted in a whole lot less stress and install angst. | 03:21 |
| daykiller_ | where can i find out what version i am using ? | 03:23 |
| cfhowlett | daykiller, open a terminal: lsb_release -a | 03:24 |
| daykiller_ | cfhowlett thanks . 15.04 | 03:26 |
| holstein | so, you get updates for 9 months.. and the 15, in 15.04, is the year.. so, 2015.. and the 04 is the month.. april.. its the latest release.. | 03:27 |
| cfhowlett | daykiller, right. so you are not using LTS. 15.04 is supported for 9 months. My suggestion: upgrade to 15.10 in a few months then 16.04 LTS. After that, LTS only | 03:27 |
| cfhowlett | OR install 14.04 LTS now then move to 16.04 | 03:27 |
| daykiller_ | cfhowlett , i am download 14.04 . i am Going try on usb first then i like in install it . | 03:33 |
| cfhowlett | daykiller, sounds like a plan :) | 03:33 |
| holstein | its quite similar.. | 03:35 |
| daykiller_ | Is there way to keep my setting ? | 03:39 |
| cfhowlett | daykiller, do not format your /home partition. settings should stay. | 03:40 |
| cfhowlett | or restore from the backup you ARE going to do. | 03:40 |
| daykiller_ | ok | 03:42 |
| daykiller_ | thanks | 03:42 |
| bynarie | silly question but what is the package name of Software Updater? | 03:45 |
| bynarie | n/m | 03:47 |

| Rrjj | Is it really necessary to install a firewall for Xubuntu? | 09:33 |
| Rrjj | I'm currently using the LTS version. | 09:33 |

| Rrjj | Anyone using QuiteRSS? | 11:13 |
| bekks | Rrjj: What if? | 11:16 |
| Rrjj | Where does its data stored? From our main drive? | 11:17 |
| Rrjj | Like when I paste the rss feed from websites and it displays the articles from that site. | 11:18 |
| Rrjj | So are those data fetch from websites are store from local drive? | 11:18 |
| knome | Rrjj, most likely, but you would have to ask the developer for details | 11:20 |
| Rrjj | Fair enough. Thank you. | 11:21 |
| Rrjj | Why I can't play Facebook videos but videos on YouTUbe plays normally. | 11:25 |

| Rrjj | My splash screen messed up after installing nvidia driver | 11:54 |
| onlymrleo | Hello, I have some problems with ttf-mscorefonts-installer EULA on console, when I press <Tab> key or some direction key, the button OK is not selected. | 11:59 |
| knome | onlymrleo, i don't remember what the installer is like, but have you tried pressing the arrow keys (or in other words, how do you deduce it is tab that should work?) | 12:00 |
| knome | Rrjj, have you installed xubuntu-restricted-extras? | 12:01 |
| Rrjj | nope. I have not. | 12:03 |
| Rrjj | Should I install it? | 12:03 |
| knome | ok, try installing that and see if the facebook videos work after that | 12:03 |
| Rrjj | OKay. | 12:03 |
| Rrjj | Also, my splash screen was gone after install nvidia driver | 12:04 |
| knome | that's known, we can't fix problems in the proprietary drivers | 12:04 |
| knome | some users have reported there are workarounds for that, but i haven't tried them personally, so i don't know if they work | 12:05 |
| knome | or how they should work, or what the exact steps to achieve the workaround are | 12:05 |
| onlymrleo | knome, I'm trying to install wine, in some part of this process, the console show a message for agree EULA Terms | 12:05 |
| Rrjj | I see.. hmmm | 12:06 |
| Rrjj | The xubuntu splash screen is nicer than the big nvidia logo. | 12:06 |
| Rrjj | I'll try to search instead. | 12:06 |
| knome | onlymrleo, i understand what you are talking about, but i'm not sure if tab is supposed to work - have you tried something else? | 12:08 |
| onlymrleo | knome, yes, I tried pressing intro, tab, the arrow keys any key in my keyboard, but nothing works, not even Ctrl+C | 12:13 |
| onlymrleo | knome, I have the same problem accepting the terms of use for Popcorn-time | 12:13 |
| knome | onlymrleo, which xubuntu version? | 12:18 |
| knome | onlymrleo, do you have some very uncommon hardware? | 12:18 |
| onlymrleo | knome, I'm using xubuntu 14.04 fully updated and my hardware is normal, some old (processor AMD Athlon X2 64 bits, graphics NVIDIA GeForce 6 Series, USB ports 2.0, nothing unusual) | 12:22 |
| onlymrleo | knome, thanks, It's worked using the ubuntu software center to install this package. | 12:35 |
| xubuntu60i | hello | 15:47 |
| Cypi | Hy. I have a slight problem on a fresh Xubuntu 15.04 installation on a laptop: if I lock the screen (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and then close the lid, then when I try to unlock it, everything just freezes (I get the password input, but I cannot input anything). What could I do? | 16:07 |
| Cypi | Hi* | 16:07 |
| Cypi | Also, might be related or not: the tty are very...fuzzy. By that I mean that they blink around the screen very rapidly. | 16:10 |
| ibouvousaime | Ive tried to boot from an ISO file and I got "Error 60: File for drive emulation must be in one contiguous disk area". as an error any idea to fix it ? | 17:49 |
| nomic | if thats a ripped cd (iso) then there is a serious problem | 18:24 |
| nomic | "from an iso file" | 18:24 |
| nomic | its obviously more complex than an iso "drive emulation" | 18:24 |
| nomic | you are booting this from a PC reboot | 18:24 |
| nomic | a cd or what | 18:24 |
| nomic | "from an iso file" | 18:24 |

| daykiller | Can xubuntu get viruses ? | 20:46 |
| xangua | !virus | 20:52 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using Samba). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 20:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Wellllllllllllll... that's only because all 6 of us who use Linux all write for Linux | 20:56 |
