[00:27] uh, I'm trying xubuntu at virtualbox [00:28] the last daily has to mousepad icons... [00:28] one in top of another [00:28] sergio-br2: only stable releases supported here [00:28] ok, never mind [00:31] If you want Xenial support please join #Ubuntu+1 [00:32] nvm [01:54] hello all...can anyone guide me on how to manually install software from a disc with linux? [02:16] hello? [03:13] ratnot: what do you want to install exactly? [03:43] UPDATE MANAGER - how do I stop it offering me stuff I DON'T WANT .... permenantly ? ..... [05:56] How do I make xubuntu ask for a password to login instead of just logging in automatically? [06:32] Okay, I cannot get xubuntu to ask me for a password when I login. I have tried to go to /etc/lightdm/ ... but there is no lightdm.conf file there to edit....I went to users and groups but that isn't helping either...any help? [06:36] MasterSultan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Configuration [06:40] krytarik, I am sure that would help most people, but I can't make heads or tails of what it is trying to tell me to do. [06:44] I guess I just wont have a system that asks for a password on login. [06:44] fuck it [10:55] I wonder why chromium-browser's location bar does not follow the dpi setting made in Xfce's Appearance settings; also text is very small in browser window. google-chrome does after restarting. [10:55] chromium also starts much slower than chrome. This is in 15.10. [11:00] I wonder, if google-chrome's security updates will be installed, if you setup automatic installation of security updates? [11:00] Is XFCE good for HiDPI monitors? [11:01] jarnos: besides chromium, does XFCE work well with HiDPI? [11:01] Linus_, it could be better. you can not set different dpi for different monitors in multimonitor setup. [11:02] jarnos: oh, that sucks, -- what if you connect external monitor, and shut off the internal monitor? [11:02] Linus_, but the dpi setting I wrote above seems to work nice with most apps. [11:02] it wont automatically adjust to the 1080p TV? [11:04] Linus_, well, the DPI setting remains. [11:08] Linus_, oh I am not sure, if you do not use the custom setting. [11:09] hmmmm, any other problems? i am thinking about buying hidpi laptop [11:26] Linus_, not that I know of. I think objects should remain in same size no matter, if I change display resolution. I wonder, if there is a DE that does that. [11:26] jarnos: unity and gnome are pretty good with HiDPI, but i like xfce better :) [12:23] I work at a public school and we have been running xubuntu on older equipment for about 1 year. Now that Chrome 32-bit will no longer receive security updates on linux 32-bit, I'm thinking about using the x64 xubuntu on the older machines. [12:25] My question is, if the computer is x64 capable, what is the minimum system requirement (Ram/Chip) and will xubuntu run okay with 1 gb of ram on these older machines. TIA [13:05] xubuntu90w, it's nothing exact (whether you are fine with the speed with your setup is subjective), but 1GB is the least recommended RAM (even if xubuntu can run with less) [13:06] xubuntu90w, and for when it comes to the difference between 32/64-bit, there is no (significant) difference [13:13] Thank you for for the help! I'm going to go ahead and begin to install the x64 version of xubuntu on these computers. [13:14] good luck :) [13:14] (and have fun) [13:15] Xubuntu has been a great find for our district, we have been able to repurpose our old equipment into student labs. Thank you! [13:16] xubuntu90w, btw, if you are interested... we run this article series: http://wiki.xubuntu.org/doku.php?id=marketing:projects:xubuntuat [13:16] xubuntu90w, basically, we write about organizations that use xubuntu (etc) [13:16] xubuntu90w, if you want to get involved, i can get you started [13:19] Let me clear it with my tech director and I will get back to you. [13:19] sure [13:21] xubuntu90w, basically, you can either give us an email address for a person/persons who are able to answer the questions, and we'll be in touch with you :) [13:21] OR you can come to #xubuntu-devel and we can organize the thing there [13:22] but it'll still likely go through email in a way or another [13:27] Is there any way to beat display into submission? Bloody thing keeps mucking around with the config for the laptop (closed lid) and two external monitors and it's driving me bonkers. [13:50] how to start xfce4-notifyd? [13:52] can anyone tell me why xubuntu want update drivers properly? [13:57] Afdla: maybe via Super + R > Session and Startup > Application Autostart? [13:59] asmodai: it's not there [13:59] but it seems I can send notifications with "notify-send" [13:59] which is weird as I'm not running the xfce4-notifyd [14:00] ps -ef | grep notify [14:00] doesn't list it [14:01] I wonder if it's because I actually have ubuntu but I just removed unity and installed xfce [14:09] Afdla: Ah, seems it's a system daemon. Running Xubuntu and it is running. [14:09] I just found out I'm running notify-osd [14:09] is it somehow blocking xfce4-notifyd because the settings for xfce4-notifyd aren't working [14:10] when I change theme the preview is broken [15:37] help [15:37] ive recently installed ubuntu [15:38] is there any way to change /home toc; [15:38] C; [15:38] No [15:56] Ok, that question was just weird. [16:04] asmodai: I've seen the same question in different incarnations quite a few times actually [17:24] what the heck is the question supposed to mean? [17:34] Luyin: Mostly it's people wanting all the things that used to appear on the desktop of their Windows to show up on their *buntu desktop [17:35] genii: I don't know anything about the english/international ubuntu help pages, but the german ubuntu wiki is very good for learners.. I'd send them there [18:20] ##ubuntu was not helpful, so here goes: what is the best way to upgrade the gcc toolchain in xubuntu 14.04? test ppa? [18:22] The recommended is to use packages from the official Ubuntu repository [18:22] Anything else you're on your own [18:25] 14.04 is on 4.8, which lacks decent C11 support. there is some half-baked 4.9 gcc-base in there but no C frontend. i believe only go was supported. i understand that using soemthing else will be unsupported, but i was trying to gather feedback about the best way of disabling current gcc and getting a newer one as default [18:26] search the ppa if you wish or compile jalt [18:27] i what what the ppa is, i wanted to know if there was another suggested alternative, which i guess there isn't :) [18:28] !ppa [18:28] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [18:28] see above jalt [18:28] *i know what, oops [18:28] thanks still [18:28] jalt: it's up to you to decide, if you want stability our latest software, if you wanted latest then why did you install 14.04? [18:29] Stability or* latest software [18:29] !find gcc xenial [18:29] Found: gcc, gcc-4.7, gcc-4.7-base, gcc-4.7-doc, gcc-4.7-plugin-dev, gcc-4.9, gcc-4.9-base, gcc-4.9-doc, gcc-4.9-multilib, gcc-4.9-plugin-dev (and 308 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gcc&searchon=names&suite=xenial§ion=all [18:29] !info gcc xenial [18:29] gcc (source: gcc-defaults (1.149ubuntu2)): GNU C compiler.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [20:02] Was trying to help a friend install Xubuntu on his win8 PC. Award Bios is giving me a hard time.
