[13:42] Are Broadcom BCM4401 (100base-TX) or BCM4311 (802.11g) network interfaces supported on Xubuntu? [13:42] !broadcom [13:42] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [13:43] Thanks holstein! [13:43] lopta: personally, i replace broadcom chips when they are problematic, but, it wont hurt to try the available drivers that are not allowed to be shipped [13:44] holstein: We may have a less awkward USB WiFi NIC around. I'll see whether I can locate one. [13:46] lopta: i literally just wire up the machine, and install what broadcom driver is needed, and do a system update.. then, i reboot and test.. [13:47] holstein: The wired interface doesn't work either though. [13:47] well, you can take the hard drive to a machine that has hardware that *does* support linux, and do the work there.. or, you can follow the "no internet connection" suggestions at the link i gave [13:48] i have, in the past, at a LUG meeting, dl'd the driver and software needed to a stick, migrated it to the machine in question, and installed and provided support for a users broadcom chip, without having a connection to the internet [13:48] its quite uncommon to have a wired chip that doenst work.. [13:53] holstein: I was certainly a bit surprised. [14:16] Uhoh my xubuntu doesn't mount my exfat flash drive, how can I fix this? [14:18] ScoDal: I don't find that surprising. [14:18] ScoDal: Can you reformat it as FAT? [14:18] I format it to exfat from an OSX computer so it would work cross platform [14:18] exfat is proprietary, I think. [14:18] sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils [14:18] that fixed me instantly, gained access to it now :) [14:18] Oh good. [14:28] brb [14:29] Okie dokie :) === zoktar_ is now known as zoktar [15:51] is there a way to keep my browser to always open on workspace 1 ? [15:51] it keeps switching workspaces when I open a link from the terminal for example [15:51] phantom1024: Does it currently open on the workspace you're looking at when it launches? [15:51] yes [15:58] phantom, not sure if this is what you are looking for but Settings>Window Manager Tweaks>Focus> switch to window's workspace. When this is selected, opening a URL in, say, IRC/hexchat will open in the browser whereever it's open at (if it's open, if not it will open in the desktop where you are at) [15:58] That's as cose as I can come to an answer for you :) [15:58] s/cose/close [16:02] drc, that is what i'm looking for [16:02] thank you [16:02] np...enjoy :) [16:05] Woohoo! The boss found a little USB 802.11n adaptor that Xubuntu just magically recognised. [16:06] hello [16:07] I am trying to install xubuntu on a laptop and altought I DID choose "French" on the first screen the keyboard STAY in US/Qwerty and this is very dangerous when typing the root password and the encryption passphrase for the HDD. [16:08] is there a way to get to a shell or advanced config to set the keyboard to the right layout ? [16:08] xubuntu44d on *ubuntu, use of a root password is discouraged [16:08] not my point ;) same problem for the user password [16:09] xubuntu44d you might need to install additional language support for french after the installation [16:09] settings > languages and regions [16:09] the problem is that any non US user will instanly lock himself up from the computer simply by typing the password or passphrase [16:09] lock himself out :) [16:09] sorry [16:09] !locale | xubuntu44d [16:09] xubuntu44d: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale/ [16:10] I know this [16:10] I am talking about the installer [16:10] when I don't have access to the whole system ;) [16:10] or maybe I have but I don't know how [16:11] ah. well, probably you need to start a live session and use the installer from there? [16:11] The experience for a "novice" is this one insert the CD/USB, choose "French" (or whatever langage), go on, choose a passphrase for the disk and a password for the user and get locked out at next reboot because the keyboard was in qwerty ;) [16:11] Ok [16:11] maybe not all modules get loaded on the simple installer until after the install is complete [16:11] I'll try with a live session good idea :) [16:12] they change to spanish when i tried, but i havent done an install in a year, so something could have changed :P i just do dist-upgrades [16:13] ok I will try the live install way because it sounds like I will be able to have a proper keyboard setup and I'll confirm [16:15] ok without even rebooting, simply quitting the installer let me in a live session where I was able to go into settings/keyboard and change the layout before relauching the installer [16:15] not really obvious for a linux novice, would be much more user friendly to have the keyboard asked about before going on but at least there is a solution [16:16] I probably should fill a usability bug on the installer :) [16:16] thanks :) [16:18] When I shutdown this laptop (a Dell Latitude D520), I get the Xubuntu splash screen with the spinny thing on it but it doesn't power down. [18:18] How the heck do you disable the click on Title bar and automatically start moving it around feature? [18:19] scodal, please mind the language. [18:22] How the honky tonk piano do you disable the click on Title bar and automatically start moving it around feature? [18:34] Is there no way to turn that off? I'd much prefer it to be click and hold to drag [18:35] scodal: thats how it works, you might have some weird synaptics setup [18:35] It's a thinkpad with UltraNav [18:37] Well good enough I digress about that, thanks yall :) [18:43] Uh, hi everyone [18:43] hello [18:43] Did anyone got fps drops in their games with an update or something? [18:44] Not a powerful gpu or anything but eh it works [18:45] Yesterday when I went to play some cs:go I got some low fps, like ~20 [18:45] I usually got it at ~50 [18:45] asantos3, you don't want to tell us about your system's specs, do you? [18:46] and maybe your xubuntu version … [18:46] that would be way too easy ;P [18:46] Radeon HD 7670M, Xubuntu 15.04 [18:46] i know … no supporter needs information to do the job [18:47] I was about to tell it but I didn't finished writing the 'problem' [18:48] asantos3, fglrx or radeon? [18:49] fglrx is bugged or some stuff in my GPU, so the other [18:49] how much time has passed since you played cs:go last time w/o fps drops? [18:49] Two days ago, I can't remember [18:50] that's why I asked if anyone noticed some drop fps with an update or something [18:50] but here's the weird stuff [18:50] I tested with Ubuntu Mate 15.04 and it ran normal [18:51] asantos3, both systems up-to-date with updated? [18:51] *updates [18:51] So I reinstalled Xubuntu 15.04, mostly because it had loads of junk in it and now i'm here :/ [18:51] yup [18:51] asantos3, you diabled composite extension for xfwm4? [18:52] Like Window Manager Tweaks > Enable display compositing? [18:52] well, disable not enable … but yes [18:53] I did that and tested it but I got the same [18:56] Do you think I should test it with another WM? [18:56] VM? [18:56] Window Manager [18:57] oh [18:57] *hides* [18:58] asantos3, cs:go native or wine? [18:58] native [19:00] asantos3, xubuntu 15.04 and ubuntu mate 15.04 dualboot on the same system? [19:01] Nope, I dualboot with a linux distro and windows [19:01] asantos3, so how did you test ubuntu mate? [19:02] I replaced Xubuntu with Ubuntu Mate and then replaced it Xubuntu [19:03] and you definitely upgraded ubuntu mate? [19:04] I think so yes :/ [19:04] question is because there should have been quite some kernel upgrades lately [19:05] maybe test an older kernel [19:06] perhaps that's it, let me test it [19:17] mrkramps, do I need to do that like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds or is there some third-party GUI like in manjaro where I can do that? [19:17] asantos3, i did not say try a newer kernel [19:18] you may install older kernel-versions from package manager at any time [19:18] oh, I didn't knew that :/ === jast is now known as Guest61742 [20:15] hi again [20:15] Hello. I'm going to install xubuntu. But i need some help. [20:16] So I tried with different kernels and it's the same deal, tried with 3.19.7 and 3.18.19 [20:16] I'm currently using Intel HD Graphic drivers, will this be installed automaticly? Last time i installed ubuntu it got pretty fucked up, it wasn't hd quality. [20:17] Someone? [20:18] Usually the drivers are installed automatically [20:19] Alright, great. [20:19] Thanks for letting me know. I hate windows. I'm going to do dual boot first. [20:19] But then you can go to Software & Updates > Additional Drivers [20:19] asantos3, there are no additional drivers for intel gpus [20:19] Great, looks like a good community as well. [20:19] Thanks for helping me out. [20:20] mrkramps, I know, I was explaning were he could see other drivers [20:21] mrkramps, dunno if I did good but followed this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds#Installing_upstream_kernels [20:21] and it was the same [20:23] I could try Ubuntu Mate 15.04 and Xubuntu 14.04 if that helps [20:24] asantos3, the fps drops you get are a sudden regression which is hard to trace [20:24] i haven't found an according bug report yet [20:28] Well, I will keep trying stuff then [20:29] i was wondering what package is installed so that xubuntu is able to detect a android phone? [20:29] or is it a driver that is in the kernel? [20:30] bluetooth? [20:30] pencilandpaper, wether it is recognized as mass storage device or probalby via mtp [20:31] i dont think that is it asantos3 . [20:31] right well i installed mtp and am using mtp-detect and its seeing the phone kinda..but no icon is showing up so that i can open the phone mrkramps . [20:31] I was asking if you connected via cable or... [20:32] pencilandpaper, mtpfs? [20:32] yes, via cable asantos3 ..and xubuntu detected it and showed a icon for it and everything. [20:32] i am now on another distro and trying to get the same results. [20:32] i have that installed as well mrkramps . [20:33] pencilandpaper, is gvfs-bin, gvfs-fuse and gvfs-backends installed? [20:33] if i get this graphic driver working, ill delete windows [20:33] so i hope it work [20:34] Vazity, what problem do you have with the driver? [20:34] Vazity, except for the most current intel hd chipsets there should be not driver issue [20:34] well, and for everything before intel hd 2000 [20:34] Oh, just remembered something, while installing if you check that box that says "Install updates" doesn't that pull all the updates? [20:35] ok nice mrkramps ..i got it working. thank you so much man..it was mtpfs. :) [20:35] last time i installed archbox i got shitty quality [20:35] you're welcome, glad i could help! [20:35] ill check what driver i got, mrkramps [20:35] hang on [20:36] screen resolution and everything got fucked up [20:37] Intel(R) HD Graphics Family, mrkramps [20:38] Vazity, is it a sandy bridge chipset? [20:38] i dont know, how do i check that? mrkramps [20:38] Xubuntu and Ubuntu Mate are one of the few distros that install the proprietary drivers for the wifi, the open source are fucked so there's that [20:39] asantos3, depends on you chipset [20:39] mrkrapms, if I do this http://pad1.whstatic.com/images/thumb/d/d8/Install-Ubuntu-Linux-Step-5Bullet1.jpg/900px-Install-Ubuntu-Linux-Step-5Bullet1.jpg doesn't that pull all the updates? If so I installed them while installing Ubuntu Mate [20:40] asantos3, iirc no [20:40] or rather depends [20:40] but mrkramps, will it work [20:40] i remember it only working for ethernet connections [20:41] I'm on a ethernet connection [20:41] do i need ethernet connection when i install it? [20:41] Vazity, yes there should be no driver issue from what i can tell. probably it will require some manual configuration when chipset is older than sandy bridge [20:42] is my older mrkramps [20:42] Vazity, no internet connection required [20:42] ok good [20:43] Vazity, we're currently talking about pulling automatic updates at installtion … that's what you will need a connection for. but it can be done later of course [20:43] oh ok [20:43] Vazity, can you tell me your cpu model? [20:44] http://gyazo.com/c18ab89896a0a36c96b2a156eb781b87 [20:44] there you go, mrkramps [20:46] Vazity, it's sandy bridge and the default acceleration method of the intel driver will work [20:46] ok, but when i used archbox the screen resolution and shit got fucked up [20:46] bad quality as well [20:47] archbox? like in virtualbox? [20:47] no dual boot windows [20:47] im going to test xubuntu now first in dual boot [20:47] i do not know archbox, their kernel, mesa, xserver or whatever package version … so it might be just a temporary problem affecting their packages [20:47] if i get this screen and stuff working [20:47] ill remove windows [20:48] and install xubuntu for full [20:49] Vazity, please remember this is a family-friendly channel and steer your language considering that [20:49] ok im sorry knome [20:51] http://askubuntu.com/questions/166224/how-do-i-install-the-intel-graphics-driver-in-my-system do i need to do this, mrkramps? [20:52] Vazity, this Q/A is from 2012 and about 12.04 [20:52] ok [20:54] mrkramps, can i see what ur desktop look like? [20:55] pretty much default [20:56] aight [20:56] just replaced the elemntary-xfce icon theme with faenza [20:56] http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1317877292.jpg [20:56] it is possible to make it like that, right? [20:58] looks like faenza icons, custom background, transparent terminal with custom prompt, conky system monitor and some panel at the bottom i cannot identify [20:59] kk nice [21:01] i have another issue, my touchpad dont work. will my usb mouse work when i install [21:05] Vazity, what's the brand and model? [21:05] wireless optical mouse [21:06] a4tech [21:06] model g7-750 [21:09] ? [21:09] dunno, it's an obscure brand, you could always try without installing [21:10] ok [21:10] but it will work when it is installed right [21:11] probably [21:11] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/try-ubuntu-before-you-install [21:11] ok [21:11] you will get this https://assets.ubuntu.com/sites/ubuntu/latest/u/img/download/desktop/try-ubuntu-before-you-install/image-tryubuntubeforeyouinstall-1.jpg [21:12] then you can choose 'try ubuntu' and you can check it [21:12] ill go ahead and install it soon now [21:12] i will let u know ! [21:12] try before [21:12] xubuntu here i come [21:12] btw [21:13] are you aware of the UEFI problems? [21:13] no [21:13] i will disable it [21:13] uefi and that other thing [21:13] so i can get grub working [21:14] grub can handle UEFI [21:14] yes but some but there's some problems with it [21:14] depends [21:14] ye but i did get grub working last time [21:14] so u say i cant use xubuntu? [21:14] you can [21:15] Vazity, depending on your windows version you may be reliant on efi boot [21:15] ?? [21:15] windows 8.1 [21:16] will require efi afaik [21:16] what is that [21:16] that is, if you will want to keep windows in the side [21:17] and if you have win installed and then install xubuntu in legacy boot mode, you cannot boot windows anymore [21:18] Vazity, you should urgently read about EFI Boot Management [21:18] well i have done dual boot before [21:19] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ui8zgu2kc [21:20] ok now im unsure if i can do it.. [21:20] i though i could just remove uefi from bios [21:20] and that other thing [21:23] It's really easy man [21:24] how [21:24] grub will install automaticaly right [21:24] and if i go in bios and remove uefi all good right? [21:24] i would like to start my process now [21:25] i'm trying to think of a simple way to say it [21:25] will the graphic thing work when i do click test xubuntu [21:25] if so im not going to install it on dual boot [21:25] if it works on that ill just replace windows [21:25] with xubuntu [21:26] yes it will, you can try it [21:26] I will just remove uefi and legacy [21:26] in bios? [21:26] deactivate it [21:26] or what do i need to deactivate in bios [21:26] plz tell me [21:26] Vazity, you really should read about it yourself [21:27] i know, knome [21:27] Vazity, we've told you what you need to do; either you haven't listened or understood [21:27] omg you are so mad, knome [21:27] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [21:27] Vazity, it isn't a good starting point to go ahead and do something you don't understnad [21:27] im wondering what i need to deactiave in bios [21:27] i understand him, knome [21:28] Vazity, i'm not mad; i don't want you to make your system unusable [21:28] its cool i do it all the time [21:28] knome is right, you might f**k all up [21:28] asantos3, please, this is still a family-friendly channel [21:29] Vazity, if it's cool and you do it all the time, what do you need us telling what you need to enable or disable in bios? [21:29] i dont care, knome [21:29] I put the *** things :/ [21:29] asantos3, that doesn't help really, you know it. [21:29] you are fucking moron [21:29] let him help me [21:29] c'mon man :V [21:30] Jesus freenode sucks [21:30] sirnaysayer, excuse me? [21:31] omg rude [21:31] Maybe just these main channels suck [21:31] vazity, do you understand what i said - this is a family-friendly channel [21:31] suck [21:31] vazity, you are free to ask for help as long as you follow the channel guidelines [21:32] ok knome tell me, what do i deactivate in bios [21:32] vazity, it's not that black and white. [21:32] you've been told before [21:32] have you read about UEFI booting? [21:32] is it secure boot and uefi? [21:32] yes [21:32] Vanity: the reason you should try looking up things yourself is so you don't have to deal with self righteous people in IRC. [21:32] do you understand what disabling (U)EFI in bios means for your windows installation? [21:33] i can just activate it again later [21:33] lol [21:34] imma just test it out [21:34] cya [22:08] currently installing it, graphic driver worked great [22:09] hope grub will show up lol [22:09] i removed windows [22:19] Guys, i did it!!!! Wohoo, I'm so proud. [22:44] How do i install skype? [22:51] !info skype-bin partner [22:51] skype-bin (source: skype): client for Skype VOIP and instant messaging service - binary files.
