[09:40] just to be sure, if your cpu does not support vt-d but does support vt-x is it still possible to do vga pci passthrough with kvm or do i need to use xen? [11:09] Is it possible for ssh to use ./ssh/authorized_keys from /sdb/.ssh/authorized_keys ? Load ' [11:10] load from a usb stick? [12:15] registration [12:16] hmm? [12:16] man [12:16] k c u later [12:21] registration gone wrong ;) === ubott2 is now known as ubottu [15:25] bluetooth is a radio technology, right? What's NFC ? Radio also? [15:45] z.z. [16:54] is a 1.8GB USB drive enough to make a bootable drive for Xubuntu 14.04? [16:55] SKY_Line_: should be fine.. the iso is under a gig http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/15.04/release/ [16:56] holstein: thats good, thanks [19:45] hey all [19:46] any body live? [19:46] yes [19:47] zlooo: Better to ask the channel your actual question you need help with and see if anyone knows the answer [20:24] Hi ! I have a questions about installing Xubuntu... I have a laptop with windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.14 LTS... I will like to install alongside Xubuntu... do I need to create a /, /home and a swap partition ?? [20:25] for xubuntu' [20:25] ?? [20:26] xubuntu00w, that's one of the options, yes [20:26] xubuntu00w, that way you'll be able to wipe out / but keep your personal files on /home [20:27] alternatively, if you don't mind wiping out personal data if you for some reason want to reinstall the system, you can create / and swap (in that case /home is stored under the / partition) [20:28] @knome... ok ! and about the swap partition.. do I need to create another one if I already have one with Ubuntu?? [20:29] no, but you should make sure the installer uses that as swap space [20:29] the question remains: why do you want to have a separate xubuntu installation? [20:30] you could just install the xubuntu-desktop metapackage and run it from the ubuntu partitions [20:30] @knome.. and how to do it to make sure the installer uses it as swap space for xubuntu either? [20:31] i want to try the both... ubuntu and xubuntu and will decide later which one I will use !! [20:31] i don't remember the exact steps, but when you go to the advanced partitioning tool, you'll notice it [20:31] xubuntu00w, you can try them both from the same partitions [20:32] xubuntu00w, just install the xubuntu-desktop metapackage and from the login screen, select the "xubuntu" session [20:34] if I dont make any mistake, if I install teh xubuntu-desktop metapackage I will also have sometimes 2 times the same softwares/applications or a software I dont want to use like abiword for example.. [20:35] no. [20:35] software from the repositories is installed at most once [20:36] if you create new partitions, THEN you will have many packages in doubles between the partitions (and double the maintenance burden) [20:36] or gnumeric... [20:39] you can remove software you do not want/need [20:42] @knome.. last question.. I want to create a common partition to save some files that I will be be able to use with windows, ubuntu and xubuntu.. [20:43] the partitio should be ext4 and logical? [20:43] if you are looking to do that, i would simply just install the metapackage [20:44] there isn't much reason to overcomplicate this, especially if you just want to "try it out" [20:45] if you need to read the partition with windows, then you'll likely want fat [20:45] @knome maybe you are right... and after i decided which distro I want to use I can remove the other one.. [20:45] xubuntu00w, yes, or at that point, reinstall if you feel like you've gathered too much clutter [20:46] xubuntu uses the ubuntu core, so there is a LOT of overlap [20:47] ok [20:47] I will try your solution... [20:47] @knome... any experience about encryption?? [20:47] full encryption? [20:48] xubuntu00w, whatever you fancy [20:48] :) [20:49] If I want a full encryption of my hard drive... and knowing I have windows 8.1 alongside ubuntu... any tips or things not to do to know? [20:50] ubuntu installation will only encrypt ubuntu parititions... that said, i believe the partitions that you want to read with windows should be unencrypted, unless you have some software to unencrypt them in windows [20:54] @knome.. which means i cannot have a full encryption (windows+ubuntu) on my laptop? [20:55] windows handles its own encryption [20:56] ok [20:57] not as simple as I was thinking... :( [20:59] "if" you have a modern ssd which can handle encryption itself, you are good to go :) [21:02] @koegs.. no I don't have SSD for the moment... [21:12] @knome... thanks a lot for the informations.. [21:55] seems like xubuntu is not running correctly in kvm with spice. [21:55] enabling spice scrambles desktop fonts and removed buttons. [21:56] have tried it with xubuntu 15.04. Kubuntu 15.04 works, though.
