| jjlava | Hi all, question for you experts about wireless USB N adapters that plug and play with Xubuntu Trusty Tahr | 00:25 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | jjlava: well, nothing about ubuntu/xubuntu/linux will prevent anything from working on it.. i say, try your best to research the chipset.. and, save the reciepts.. | 00:26 |
| holstein | these days, most should "just work", but, if they dont promise linux support, it can be challening.. and the companies can change the chipsets, or versions, and they dont have to release that info.. just windows drivers for all chipsets.. | 00:27 |
| jjlava | holstein, thanks... understood. I've Googled and found at least a couple that seem to work well from TP-Link and Panda, but the referenced articles were from a couple years ago | 00:27 |
| holstein | well, the chipset is the issue | 00:28 |
| jjlava | Is there any particular USB adapter with a chipset that works out of the box with Xubuntu right now that you are aware of? | 00:29 |
| bazhang | !hcl | jjlava have a check | 00:34 |
| ubottu | jjlava have a check: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 00:34 |
| jjlava | Thank you bazhang and ubottu. I will do that | 00:35 |

| axsk | hi | 13:02 |
| axsk | I cant find any option to customize my xfce clock ? i want it to show date, day, week, month etc? | 13:02 |
| axsk | in lxde I used strftime | 13:02 |
| axsk | 15.04 | 13:02 |
| knome | "xfce clock"? the clock in the panel? | 13:04 |
| knome | try right-clicking and selecting options | 13:04 |
| axsk | yes that clock | 13:04 |
| cfhowlett | my default is the orage clock, not xfce. | 13:04 |
| axsk | i tried right clickingg to find option. | 13:05 |
| knome | with orage, you have the customization options available immediately, with the clock applet, go to format -> custom format | 13:05 |
| axsk | thats what i have mentioned above | 13:05 |
| axsk | when I right click on it it gives me indicator plugin options | 13:06 |
| axsk | not clock options | 13:06 |
| knome | right-click -> properties is available for both applets | 13:06 |
| axsk | those properties are not of clock but indicator panel | 13:06 |
| knome | i don't know which clock you have in the indicator area, but that's not the one used by default in xubuntu | 13:07 |
| knome | try adding the clock or orage clock applet to your panel. | 13:07 |
| axsk | i did apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and then i magically have a clock | 13:07 |
| axsk | i did not added removed anything | 13:07 |
| axsk | i can show youu screenshot if want | 13:07 |
| knome | maybe you had something installed before you installed xubuntu-desktop | 13:08 |
| axsk | lubuntu | 13:08 |
| knome | that's of no use really - just add the clock or orage clock applet | 13:08 |
| axsk | hows that suuppose to break xubuntu? | 13:08 |
| knome | lubuntu might have installed some package that added the clock in the indicator area | 13:08 |
| knome | i don't say that's breaking at all | 13:08 |
| knome | it's just different | 13:08 |
| axsk | ok | 13:09 |
| axsk | orage give me everything | 13:09 |
| knome | you can likely hide the clock from the indicator area by going to the indicator area settings | 13:09 |
| axsk | thanks kno | 13:10 |
| axsk | thanks knome | 13:10 |
| axsk | knome = kde + gnome? :-p | 13:10 |
| knome | nope. | 13:10 |
| axsk | ok | 13:11 |

| ubottu | skn: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 17:42 |
| skn | ok, thanks | 17:43 |
