| mariano | Is it possible to install the newest stable versions of kde apps (i.e. okular) on xubuntu 14.04? | 07:32 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | mariano, everything that is in the 14.04 repositories is available for you | 07:38 |
| mariano | So the newer versions of okular for example are out of the question? | 07:39 |
| knome | if they are in a PPA, or if you want to build them, then sure, you can do that; but then you are officially without support for packages affected | 07:40 |
| knome | you might want to ask #kubuntu since this has more to do with kde packages and the ubuntu base than xubuntu | 07:41 |
| mariano | Sorry I'm still learning about linux, so every time I install a package that is not in the software center, I'm officially without support for the packages affected? | 07:42 |
| knome | pretty much so, yes. | 07:42 |
| mariano | ah ok | 07:42 |
| mariano | thxs | 07:42 |
| knome | of course there might be support for those packages from other sources than the ubuntu community support channels, like individuals | 07:43 |
| knome | and individuals in the ubuntu community are free to support those too | 07:43 |
| mariano | Cool, makes sense. | 07:44 |

| GeekDude | Can I just dd/WindowsEquivalent the xubuntu 15.04 iso to my flash drive and have it be bootable, or do I need to use a tool such as unetbootin? | 16:07 |
| GeekDude | well, time to find out | 16:22 |
| vista | Hey, I am having some trouble with the panel theme ever since I upgraded to 15.04 | 17:13 |
| vista | I have been using Bluebird as my theme | 17:14 |
| vista | ever since I updated, the panel indicator buttons look like this: http://puu.sh/jLKqV/f8d3e35a85.png | 17:15 |
| vista | I have checked some other themes, some do exhibit this problem as well, some don't. | 17:15 |
| vista | (Orion and Bluebird and Raleigh have the problem, Adwaita, Greybird, High Contrast don't) | 17:16 |

| wub_wub | Hi guys, does anyone have tips on how to try and solve xubuntu failing to suspend automatically - I'm getting this: http://i.imgur.com/Kq8eONi.png (15.04) I've tried few solutions I found online, but nothing worked so far. | 18:59 |
| xubuntu62w | I need help installing xubuntu onto a usb | 19:49 |
| ObrienDave | run live DVD, install to USB | 19:50 |
| ObrienDave | i have several ;P | 19:50 |
| xubuntu62w | I have installed through live CD and partitioned properly. However when i boot up all i get is black screen. If i hold shift for GRUB menu all i get is GRUB loading | 19:51 |
| ObrienDave | booting from HD or USB stick? | 19:52 |
| xubuntu62w | USB | 19:52 |
| ObrienDave | probably bad USB stick, try another | 19:52 |
| xubuntu62w | Brand New San Disk Cruzer 16gb...No good? | 19:53 |
| ObrienDave | should work | 19:53 |
| xubuntu62w | its having a problem booting up not sure why i cant load GRUB menu | 19:55 |
| xubuntu62w | Where am i going wrong here? | 19:55 |
| xubuntu62w | Any help? been troubleshooting for days and can't seem to figure it out | 20:00 |
| ObrienDave | !nomodeset | 20:02 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 20:02 |
| flocculant | xubuntu62w: did you install grub to the USB when you installed? you would have needed to use the something else option at partition stage | 20:05 |
| xubuntu62w | I used the something else option when installing and i believed i partitioned correctly but what do you mean by installing GRUB? | 20:09 |
| ObrienDave | you have to install GURB to the USB in order for it to boot | 20:09 |
| xubuntu62w | How would i go about that? | 20:10 |
| xubuntu62w | GRUB isn't installed during the xubuntu installation? | 20:10 |
| ObrienDave | it's an option when you run the installer | 20:10 |
| ObrienDave | it asks where you want to install GURB | 20:11 |
| flocculant | well not quite - it assumes sda - you need to specify if somewhere else | 20:11 |
| ObrienDave | still an option where to install ;P | 20:11 |
| flocculant | regardless of that wording - it does NOT ask you where to install | 20:12 |
| ObrienDave | *blinks* | 20:12 |
| xubuntu62w | Is GRUB the same as location for device boot loader? | 20:13 |
| ObrienDave | yes | 20:13 |
| flocculant | xubuntu62w: yes - but it needs to be the usb - otherwise it will install it to whatever hardrive is in the machine | 20:13 |
| xubuntu62w | ok then i believe i correctly selected my entire USB | 20:14 |
| ObrienDave | GRUB = Grand Rational Uniform (Unified) Bootloader | 20:14 |
| xubuntu62w | not just a specific partition, as xubuntu suggested | 20:14 |
| xubuntu62w | http://askubuntu.com/questions/343268/how-to-use-manual-partitioning-during-installation | 20:15 |
| xubuntu62w | Maybe I am messing up on installation as once again when i boot up USB all i get is blank screen and if i press shift I am stuck on the "GRUB loading" black screen | 20:17 |
| ObrienDave | i would suggest a reinstall to USB | 20:18 |
| xubuntu62w | I have several times and partitioned properly however; maybe you could suggest a better way to partition and install (16gb Sandisk) | 20:19 |
| flocculant | have you tried reinstalling grub to the usb? | 20:19 |
| flocculant | as ObrienDave says - the stick is probably fine - it's certainly big enough | 20:20 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu62w, are you using EFI bootmanagement? | 20:20 |
| flocculant | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_the_LiveCD_terminal | 20:20 |
| ObrienDave | i would boot a live ISO, using that, install to USB using entire stick and bootloader to USB | 20:21 |
| flocculant | mrkramps: good point | 20:21 |
| xubuntu62w | how would i reinstall grub if i cant access Grub menu to boot nomodeset for terminal? | 20:22 |
| xubuntu62w | Not quit sure @mrkramps yes i am new to ubuntu i apologize | 20:22 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu62w, that'S nothing about linux but just depends on the bios used | 20:23 |
| mrkramps | newer devices do not use the old CMOS anymore, but UEFI | 20:23 |
| ObrienDave | CMOS is the chip, they don't use BIOS anymore ;P | 20:24 |
| mrkramps | ObrienDave, so many technical terms =D | 20:25 |
| ObrienDave | so i've been called on ROFL :) | 20:25 |
| mrkramps | but yeah, you're right of course | 20:25 |
| xubuntu62w | Believe i have a live ISO....So reinstall to USB using entire stick and then "bootloader to USB"? | 20:26 |
| flocculant | xubuntu62w: what sort of machine are you trying to boot this on? and what OS on the machine? | 20:26 |
| flocculant | yea - hang fire on that for the moment - let's get to the bottom of the uefi thing first :) | 20:27 |
| ObrienDave | yes, you b=need to know the device ID, sdb, sdc, etc... | 20:27 |
| ObrienDave | *need | 20:27 |
| ObrienDave | sda will be your HD. don;t use that one | 20:27 |
| paperboy58 | So I have been hopping from one distro to another and landed Here on Xubuntu ..I even have two of the kids using it | 20:40 |
| ObrienDave | welcome to Xubuntu | 20:41 |
| xubuntu62w | Host OS is Windows 7 | 20:48 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu62w, you device is not older than 3 years? | 20:49 |
| mrkramps | or yould you tell us the exact model of your pc/notebook? | 20:51 |
| xubuntu62w | Alienware 14 ALW14-1250sLV 14-Inch Gaming Laptop (i5-4200M, 8GB Memory, 750GB Hard Drive, 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M, DVD+/-RW, Bluetooth, Windows 7 Home 64-bit) | 20:53 |
| mrkramps | ok, that's pretty sure UEFI | 20:54 |
| mrkramps | an when you select "something" else in the installer for manual paritioning you have to consider adding an additional EFI parition | 20:54 |
| mrkramps | otherwise boot fails | 20:54 |
| mrkramps | first partition therefore should be about 200 MB fat32 für the EFI boot manager | 20:56 |
| mrkramps | personally i like 256MB for remembering me of good old times when this was plenty of ram :) | 20:57 |
| xubuntu62w | how should i exactly partition my 16gb drive | 20:59 |
| xubuntu62w | just want to get this right | 20:59 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu62w, for what exactly do you want to use this stick | 21:00 |
| Faryshta_ | how can I know the chip of a card on alsamixer? I get "Intel Haswell HDMI" but i don't know if thats correct | 21:22 |
| mrkramps | Faryshta_:$ lspci | grep Audio | 21:24 |
| mrkramps | and HDMI always indicates what is says, HDMI audio | 21:25 |
| Faryshta_ | mrkramps: http://pastie.org/10371169 this is what I get | 21:40 |
| xangua | How could I hide the clipman icon from the panel? Either the notification or plugin? Xubuntu 15.04 | 21:41 |
| xubuntu62w | mrkramps, im looking to create a live usb OS without touching my Host HD | 21:50 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu62w, live? or persistent installation? | 21:51 |
| xubuntu62w | how should i partition exactly? (16gb) | 21:51 |
| xubuntu62w | whats the difference? | 21:51 |
| mrkramps | live is like a dvd w/o the possibility to change things permanently | 21:51 |
| xubuntu62w | Want to save all files to USB and make that the OS hardrive | 21:52 |
| xubuntu62w | then in that case persistent | 21:52 |
| ObrienDave | boot live DVD, install to USB | 21:52 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu62w, is there any reason for manual paritioning? | 21:52 |
| ObrienDave | i would boot a live ISO, using that, install to USB using entire stick and bootloader to USB | 21:53 |
| ObrienDave | like i told you 2 hours ago | 21:53 |
| xubuntu62w | No it doesnt matter all i want to do is completely run and save all files to USB without touching my host | 21:53 |
| xubuntu62w | @0brienDave i have been doing that for the past 2 hours and it does not boot up. | 21:53 |
| mrkramps | if you "use entire disk" the installer will automatically create all paritions (EFI, root, swap) you need | 21:53 |
| ObrienDave | xubuntu62w, try enabling 'legacy USB' in uefi bios | 21:54 |
| ObrienDave | or turn off 'safeboot' mode | 21:55 |
| mariano | I get a white screen for about thirty seconds before I get the login screen. Is this normal on xubuntu 15.04? I updated from 14.04 to 14.10, then to 15.04. | 22:37 |
| pcworld | Would like to fully install xubuntu to USB (persistent) how can i achieve this? would someone like to thouroughly explain how.. Thanks | 22:49 |
| xangua | !usb | 22:50 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 22:50 |
| pcworld | Recomendations for partitioning a live USB? | 23:47 |
| pcworld | Installing xubuntu to my USB (persistent), how should i partition properly? | 23:48 |
| pcworld | ? | 23:55 |
| ObrienDave | i would boot a live ISO, using that, install to USB using entire stick and bootloader to USB | 23:56 |
