[08:56] <Vatinas> Hi there :)
[09:31] <winsux> does someone have experience with pci passthrough in qemu + kvm?
[09:40] <winsux> 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] <nickmh> Is it possible for ssh to use ./ssh/authorized_keys from /sdb/.ssh/authorized_keys ?  Load '
[11:10] <nickmh> load from a usb stick?
[12:15] <xubuntu56i> registration
[12:16] <knome> hmm?
[12:16] <xubuntu56i> man
[12:16] <xubuntu56i> k c u later
[12:21] <bekks> registration gone wrong ;)
[15:25] <w30> bluetooth is a radio technology, right? What's NFC ? Radio also?
[15:45] <nomic> z.z.
[16:54] <SKY_Line_> is a 1.8GB USB drive enough to make a bootable drive for Xubuntu 14.04?
[16:55] <holstein> SKY_Line_: should be fine.. the iso is under a gig http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/15.04/release/
[16:56] <SKY_Line_> holstein: thats good, thanks
[19:45] <zlooo> hey all
[19:46] <zlooo> any body live?
[19:46] <holstein> yes
[19:47] <genii> zlooo: Better to ask the channel your actual question you need help with and see if anyone knows the answer
[20:24] <xubuntu00w> 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] <xubuntu00w> for xubuntu'
[20:25] <xubuntu00w> ??
[20:26] <knome> xubuntu00w, that's one of the options, yes
[20:26] <knome> xubuntu00w, that way you'll be able to wipe out / but keep your personal files on /home
[20:27] <knome> 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] <xubuntu00w> @knome... ok !  and about the swap partition.. do I need to create another one if I already have one with Ubuntu??
[20:29] <knome> no, but you should make sure the installer uses that as swap space
[20:29] <knome> the question remains: why do you want to have a separate xubuntu installation?
[20:30] <knome> you could just install the xubuntu-desktop metapackage and run it from the ubuntu partitions
[20:30] <xubuntu00w> @knome.. and how to do it to make sure the installer uses it as swap space for xubuntu either?
[20:31] <xubuntu00w> i want to try the both... ubuntu and xubuntu and will decide later which one I will use !!
[20:31] <knome> i don't remember the exact steps, but when you go to the advanced partitioning tool, you'll notice it
[20:31] <knome> xubuntu00w, you can try them both from the same partitions
[20:32] <knome> xubuntu00w, just install the xubuntu-desktop metapackage and from the login screen, select the "xubuntu" session
[20:34] <xubuntu00w> 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] <knome> no.
[20:35] <knome> software from the repositories is installed at most once
[20:36] <knome> if you create new partitions, THEN you will have many packages in doubles between the partitions (and double the maintenance burden)
[20:36] <xubuntu00w> or gnumeric...
[20:39] <knome> you can remove software you do not want/need
[20:42] <xubuntu00w> @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] <xubuntu00w> the partitio should be ext4 and logical?
[20:43] <knome> if you are looking to do that, i would simply just install the metapackage
[20:44] <knome> there isn't much reason to overcomplicate this, especially if you just want to "try it out"
[20:45] <knome> if you need to read the partition with windows, then you'll likely want fat
[20:45] <xubuntu00w> @knome   maybe you are right... and after i decided which distro I want to use I can remove the other one..
[20:45] <knome> xubuntu00w, yes, or at that point, reinstall if you feel like you've gathered too much clutter
[20:46] <knome> xubuntu uses the ubuntu core, so there is a LOT of overlap
[20:47] <xubuntu00w> ok
[20:47] <xubuntu00w> I will try your solution...
[20:47] <xubuntu00w> @knome... any experience about encryption??
[20:47] <xubuntu00w> full encryption?
[20:48] <knome> xubuntu00w, whatever you fancy
[20:48] <xubuntu00w> :)
[20:49] <xubuntu00w> 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] <knome> 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] <xubuntu00w> @knome.. which means i cannot have a full encryption (windows+ubuntu) on my laptop?
[20:55] <knome> windows handles its own encryption
[20:56] <xubuntu00w> ok
[20:57] <xubuntu00w> not as simple as I was thinking...  :(
[20:59] <koegs> "if" you have a modern ssd which can handle encryption itself, you are good to go :)
[21:02] <xubuntu00w> @koegs.. no I don't have SSD for the moment...
[21:12] <xubuntu00w> @knome... thanks a lot for the informations..
[21:55] <BuddyButterfly> seems like xubuntu is not running correctly in kvm with spice.
[21:55] <BuddyButterfly> enabling spice scrambles desktop fonts and removed buttons.
[21:56] <BuddyButterfly> have tried it with xubuntu 15.04. Kubuntu 15.04 works, though.
