[00:02] <mrkramps> DUKENUKEM, you should be able to select the specific drive in the next step
[00:03] <DUKENUKEM> god dang it i wish i knew that before
[00:03] <mrkramps> and in case of doubt just unplug /dev/sdb
[00:03] <DUKENUKEM> i just made a 250mb ext2 partition mount point /boot at sda1, and then made LVM crypto partition ext4 mount point /
[00:03] <DUKENUKEM> hopefully thats enough
[00:04] <DUKENUKEM> i didnt use a swap i figured i would add it later as a swap file
[00:04] <DUKENUKEM> since my machine has a lot of ram it should handle the install
[00:04] <mrkramps> good choice
[00:04] <GeekDewd> Yeah, I always disconnect extra drives that I don't want formatted as a precaution
[00:04] <DUKENUKEM> well lets hope i did this rigt
[00:04] <DUKENUKEM> right
[00:04] <DUKENUKEM> because its installing now
[00:04] <DUKENUKEM> lol
[00:04] <DUKENUKEM> im a recent debian convert to xubuntu
[00:04] <DUKENUKEM> im really impressed with it i tried it out at work
[00:04] <mrkramps> DUKENUKEM, EFI boot management?
[00:05] <DUKENUKEM> my box doesnt have efi
[00:05] <mrkramps> ok, then it should work
[00:05] <DUKENUKEM> at least i didnt have efi related partitions on it before
[00:05] <DUKENUKEM> ok great
[00:05] <DUKENUKEM> i think it just finished up
[00:05] <DUKENUKEM> ill see everyone on the other side, hopefully /dev/sdb is still intact
[00:25] <xubuntu29w> Hi all. I've downloaded chrome but when I double-click and open in the software app (I'm on 16.04 - new app) and I click install, nothing happens. Any ideas? Thanks!
[00:34] <GeekDewd> hey xubuntu29w, I was having this issue myself earlier
[00:34] <GeekDewd> I ended up installing it via the terminal. Browse to that directory and run 'dpkg -i google-chrome-deb-name.db'
[00:35] <GeekDewd> After it runs, it'll say to do something with apt-get to fix dependencies
[00:36] <GeekDewd> sudo apt-get -f install
[00:36] <GeekDewd> You'll need sudo on the dpkg command as well
[00:38] <xubuntu29w> Thanks a lot, GeekDewd, I'll give that a try!
[00:38] <krytarik> LP bug 1573206, fwiw.
[00:41] <xubuntu29w> Ah okay, so hopefuly will be sorted soon then?
[00:43]  * GeekDewd marks himself as affected by bug 
[00:44] <GeekDewd> xubuntu29w: I can't see how it wouldn't be fixed soon, it's a very high profile bug
[00:49] <the-erm1> Will the software updater automatically tell me when it's ok to install 16.04?
[00:50] <the-erm1> 16.04 is out, and I'm running 14.04.  Yet nothing is telling me it's time to upgrade.
[00:50] <the-erm1> Perhaps I should also be asking ... do i need to do 15.* then 16.04 ?
[00:51] <krytarik> !ltsupgrade | the-erm1
[00:52] <the-erm1> cool.
[00:52] <the-erm1> I wonder how much stuff is going to break ...
[00:56] <the-erm1> I kinda want to play around with the snap packages :)
[00:58] <xubuntu29w> GeekDewd: I get this error: sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 156054 files and directories currently installed.)

[00:59] <xubuntu29w> is there something obvious i am doing wrong?
[01:01] <WitherSlick> I'm loving 16.04 so far
[01:05] <GeekDewd> xubuntu29w: it's supposed to do that
[01:05] <GeekDewd> The dependency errors are then fixed with apt-get
[01:11] <xubuntu29w> ah nice, thanks!
[01:19] <xubuntu29w> Thanks for all your help - bye!
[01:57] <xubuntu08w> Does anyone know of a simple/light audio converter?
[01:57] <xubuntu08w> I need to convert WAV files to flac
[01:58] <xubuntu08w> Maybe there's a gmusicbrowser plugin?
[01:58] <GeekDewd> You could use ffmpeg from the command line
[01:59] <xubuntu08w> Does that require an install or is it a system command
[02:00] <GeekDewd> A lot of programs depend on it, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's already installed. I'm not sure if it ships with Xubuntu though
[02:01] <GeekDewd> `ffmpeg -i file.wav output.flac` is the way to use it to convert wav to flac
[02:02] <xubuntu08w> Can I convert an entire folder at once?
[02:03] <GeekDewd> You'll have to use a bash for loop, which doesn't necessarily fall under the 'simple' requirement
[02:03] <xubuntu08w> Yeah, I'd likely have difficulty doing that
[02:04] <xubuntu08w> I guess I can do it individually
[02:04] <xubuntu08w> Since I'm converting just a couple albums
[02:04] <GeekDewd> http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/114917
[02:04] <xubuntu08w> How does the software know the location of the file by simply providing the name?
[02:06] <GeekDewd> It works on files in the "current directory" (which is set with the `cd` command)
[02:07] <GeekDewd> Are you familiar with the linux terminal much at all? If you aren't I highly recommend taking a quick class on it (on codecademy for example)
[02:08] <xubuntu08w> Not too familiar. I've been using Xubuntu on a basic level for roughly a year now (after switching from Windows). I've been getting by from using the Wiki for specific commands, but still have a basic knowledge.
[02:10] <GeekDewd> find -name "*.wav" -exec bash -c 'ffmpeg -i "{}" "${0/.wav}.flac"' {} \;
[02:10] <GeekDewd> xubuntu08w: Make sure you have a backup of your files. That line *should* batch convert all wav to flac in all directories recursively
[02:10] <GeekDewd> However, if anything goes wrong it's good to have backups
[02:11] <GeekDewd> You'll want to browse to the folder with your albums in it, then right click in that folder and press 'open terminal here'
[02:11] <xubuntu08w> Gotcha. I do have backups on an external drive.
[02:11] <GeekDewd> then run that command from there
[02:12] <xubuntu08w> Okay, any need to provide additional info within that command?
[02:12] <GeekDewd> It shouldn't delete the original wav files, just generate new flac files from them in the same directories
[02:12] <GeekDewd> No, that should find and convert automatically (provided you're in the right directory) for all files in that directory and sub-folders/sub-directories
[02:12] <xubuntu08w> Thanks
[02:13] <xubuntu08w> Will try that now
[02:13]  * GeekDewd is using the terms folder and directory interchangeably, they are the same thing 
[02:15] <xubuntu08w> First, how do I check if ffmpeg is installed (in the terminal)?
[02:16] <GeekDewd> Just type 'ffmpeg' or 'ffmpeg -h' and see if it comes up with anything, or says not found
[02:17] <GeekDewd> The first one 'ffmpeg' invokes the default action (which should be help), the second one explicitly invokes the help text
[02:17] <xubuntu08w> wasn't installed
[02:17] <xubuntu08w> went ahead and installed it
[02:18] <xubuntu08w> side note: I absolutely love how simple the terminal is (e.g. suggesting whether or not I wish to install the program)
[02:21] <xubuntu08w> Fantastic, it worked
[02:21] <GeekDewd> I'm not actually sure what it is that provides those suggestions. Anyone in here know if it's built into bash, or if it's some kind of separate utility?
[02:21] <xubuntu08w> Thanks GeekDewd
[02:21] <GeekDewd> Glad to hear it worked :)
[02:21] <xubuntu08w> I will save that command and use it in the future
[02:21] <GeekDewd> If you don't mind me asking, why convert from wav to flac in the first place? I like a good story
[02:24] <xubuntu08w> I bought some albums that came with digital downloads (which were offered in either wav or mp3). I prefer lossless audio, so I downloaded them in wav format. However, my digital music library is in flac format because wav takes up significantly more space. Flac files are compressed, but retain the same lossless quality. So, it's just more convenient.
[02:25] <xubuntu08w> For example, the album I just converted was 1.8 gigs in wav format, but is 1.1 gigs in flac format.
[02:25] <GeekDewd> Ah. I thought flac was uncompressed. That makes sense
[02:26] <xubuntu08w> Yep
[02:29] <xubuntu08w> also, if I wanted to convert different audio formats, can I simply replace ".wav" and ".flac" in the command to alter the result?
[02:30] <xubuntu08w> e.g. alac to flac
[02:32] <GeekDewd> yes
[02:32] <GeekDewd> do note that 'wav' is listed twice in that command
[02:32] <xubuntu08w> I see, will keep that in mind
[02:32] <GeekDewd> once to find .wav files, and a second time to change the '.wav' to '.flac'
[02:33] <xubuntu08w> Ok, makes more sense now
[02:37] <krytarik> !info command-not-found
[02:38] <GeekDewd> krytarik: thanks
[02:38] <krytarik> Sure.
[02:43] <xubuntu08w> "guessed channel layout for input stream m#0.0 : stereo" is the only line listed in a different color when I run the command.
[02:43] <xubuntu08w> Should I disregard that
[02:45] <GeekDewd> xubuntu08w: It's just highlighted to bring attention to the fact that it's guessing, and that you specify if it's guessing wrong
[02:45] <GeekDewd> it should be fine to disregard as long as the converted output sounds alright.
[02:45] <xubuntu08w> yeah, sounds fine
[02:47] <GeekDewd> Or if you know that the source audio track is not stereo (e.g. 5.1 surround) you'd want to make sure that's set
[02:54] <xubuntu08w> I will check the physical CD
[04:40] <Maisurando> after suspend the mouse pointer is not visible.
[04:57] <Maisurando> Light Locker Settings in 16.04 are ... where?
[05:31] <zekk> anybody know when/if it will possible to install amd proprietary fglrx driver for 16.04?
[08:50] <rigo88> hi. is an E450 based laptop not enough for the latest linux distros anymore or am i doing something wrong? :)
[08:51] <Maisurando> rigo88: Lenovo?
[08:51] <rigo88> uh huh
[08:52] <rigo88> Maisurando: an S205 with added ram so it's got 4gibs
[08:52] <Maisurando> In chemistry, pyrophosphate is a phosphorus oxyanion. Compounds such as salts and esters are also called pyrophosphates. The group is also called diphosphate or dipolyphosphate, although this should not be confused with two phosphates. As a food additive, diphosphates are known as E450.
[08:52] <rigo88> lol
[08:53] <Maisurando> it looks big enough to me.
[08:54] <rigo88> it's annoyingly slow tbh. but maybe it's just me. i was asking in the win room if the embedded win is faster than the enterprise but it's not.
[08:54] <rigo88> should i try lubuntu? or which is the smallest or how to ask.. fastest?
[08:54] <Maisurando> how much RAM?
[08:54] <rigo88> i'm not playing or doing any hard stuff, writing, some facebook and youtube while
[08:55] <rigo88> 4gibs.
[08:55] <Maisurando> it is more than enough for Xubuntu 16.04 LTS.
[08:56] <Maisurando> how big is the SSD?
[08:56] <rigo88> as i feel it's more like a cpu problem. ram gets not even near full, and as i type the letters appear now after like 3-4 sec..
[08:56] <rigo88> it's a normal 3.5hdd a wd blue 320gb
[08:56] <Maisurando> super! and what is the CPU?
[08:56] <rigo88> E-450
[08:56] <rigo88> :P
[08:58] <rigo88> it gets super hot like 95C but it is slow right after starting up.. check the top command i'll post right away. FF is eating up all the resources i guess
[08:59] <Maisurando> last year I tried one laptop with that crappy AMD cpu.
[08:59] <Maisurando> it was the same with Xubuntu and Lubuntu.
[08:59] <Maisurando> Slow, heat and system halt. Crap.
[09:00] <Maisurando> Sell it to some windows dude and buy some Intel stuff.
[09:00] <rigo88> Maisurando: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15997700/
[09:02] <rigo88> yeah it's about to happen i don't need any extra heating source in my life :) i'm gonna move to the promise land soon anyway. i might get a great offer with an i3 soon. so yeah. trash this and grab a new one...
[09:02] <Maisurando> I have an older Intell with 1/4 of these results.
[09:03] <Maisurando> with 20+ tabs open and not even a fan running.
[09:03] <Maisurando> thinkpad forever.
[09:04] <rigo88> lol that sounds good. thanks :)
[09:04] <Maisurando> buy old thinkpad and have a life.
[09:50] <Maisurando> font rendering is crap in 16.04. esp. non latin fonts.
[09:50] <Maisurando> Droid Sans latin in the menus and window title is ok.
[09:51] <xubuntu40w> hello
[09:51] <Maisurando> all other symbols render crap.
[09:51] <Maisurando> in 14.04 was perfect.
[09:51] <Maisurando> why did you faced it?
[09:51] <xubuntu40w> I have problems with installing epson xp-205 on xubuntu 16.04
[09:51] <xubuntu40w> downloades the deb package from epson, but can not install it
[09:52] <Maisurando> I can't install Chrome. Same crap.
[09:52] <xubuntu40w> any issues with the new software center?
[09:52] <Maisurando> yes, it is crap.
[09:53] <Maisurando> Xubuntu 14.04 was perfect from the beginning.
[09:53] <Maisurando> but the developers tried to improve it.
[09:53] <Maisurando> thanks for all the efforts.
[09:54] <knome> Maisurando, please remember that this is a family-friendly channel
[09:54] <Maisurando> knome: ah, sorry.
[09:55] <Maisurando> knome: probably refugees and gay friendly too?
[09:56] <knome> uhm?
[09:56] <ondondil> I always use gdebi to install deb packages. Software center were always causing trouble for me
[09:56] <knome> this channel is designed for xubuntu support; whoever has a support question can come and ask.
[09:56] <Maisurando> the problem in 16.04 is that is it is not only the sw center.
[09:58] <Maisurando> knome: why didn't you stay on your position.
[09:58] <Maisurando> at least he had a working OS.
[09:59] <Maisurando> xubuntu has not been that bad since 6.06 LTS.
[10:00] <knome> Maisurando, please stop the trolling
[10:06] <xubuntu40w> thx
[10:14] <qpol> hey
[10:15] <qpol> how do you increase the window size in vbox i've frshly installed xubuntu
[10:28] <marcust> hey, any keyboard layout experts here? I just upgraded to xenial and now I lost the ability to use terminator shortcuts like CTRL+ALT+O when I switch the keyboard layout to us english via the keyboard application. German works fine, the keys should be the same though. And it worked in 15.10
[11:25] <OperatingLiberto> Hi all. Love Xubuntu. Just upgraded from 15.10 to 16.04. Along the way, I found that after decrypting the disk during boot, my laptop goes to a black screen on each boot. I have to open up a tty and run startx for x11/xfce. After, menu options and themes look a little messed up (http://i.imgur.com/TLH9HGP.png). Anyone run into the same?
[12:41] <sector_0> hey
[12:42] <sector_0> I think there's a problem with lightlocker but I'm not sure
[12:42] <sector_0> everytime my screen locks, when I attempt to wake the computer, the screen just remains black, and the only way to recover is to restart
[12:43] <sector_0> if I turn off the lightlocker all is well; even if the screen goes to sleep, i can wake it without any troubles
[12:43] <sector_0> but as long as the lightlocker is enabled, i have problems
[12:43] <sector_0> any ideas?
[12:48] <OperatingLiberto> sector_0, I'm having a similar issue (see above). You can pull up a tty when that happens and run `startx`, though you'll be in a new x11 session it appears. I'll try reinstalling `lightdm` and `light-locker`. Already tried to reconfigure nvidia settings, though no change.
[13:06] <sector_0> OperatingLiberto, i just joined the channel, I didn't see what you said
[13:06] <sector_0> and I'm using an ATI GPU though
[13:07] <sector_0> I haven't thought about the tty though, but that's rather inconvenient
[13:09] <OperatingLiberto> sector_0, here's my prior description:

[13:10] <sector_0> oh ok
[13:10] <OperatingLiberto> I reinstalled and reconfigured lightdm, though still experiencing the same.
[13:11] <sector_0> yeah i just read the known issues with 16.04 and it has a coupe bugs
[13:11] <sector_0> couple*
[13:11] <sector_0> http://xubuntu.org/news/xubuntu-16-04-release/
[13:11] <sector_0> see the known issues
[13:12] <sector_0> I had that problem with 14.04LTS though, but it was because of my ati drivers
[13:12] <sector_0> are you using the proprietary drivers for your GPU?
[13:24] <OperatingLiberto> Using "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)"
[13:42] <shugal> Greetings! I'm having problems with Dropbox on 16.04. The indicator applet doesn't work very well, i e no DB pic, no real menu etc.
[14:01] <shugal> Solved it while waiting. Bye!
[14:03] <sector_0> wished I had caught him
[14:04] <sector_0> chances are the fix he used wasn't permanent
[14:04] <sector_0> ...but that aside I won't advise anyone use dropbox
[14:05] <sector_0> OperatingLiberto, do you have a separate GPU, or are you using the integrated graphics on your CPU?
[14:15] <OperatingLiberto> sector_0, using integrated Intel graphics. No separate GPU (ultrabook)
[14:16] <sector_0> oh ok
[14:16] <sector_0> well that is rather strange...usually linux doesn't have issues with integrated graphics
[14:18] <bekks> Depends.
[14:18] <bekks> That had been one ancient Intel integrated graphics chipset which was ... horrible. :)
[14:24] <OperatingLiberto> I've been running Xubuntu on this laptop since 2014, but I've run into this same issue a couple of times directly following a release upgrade. Unfortunately, I don't recall how I've resolved it.
[14:33] <sector_0> bekks, anything ancient works horribly with modern stuff
[14:34] <sector_0> i remember just recently my PSU stopped working and I tried switching it out for an old PSU i had lying around. It seemed to work....until my SSD started to fail :|
[14:46] <Reptilia> Software center or newly called "Software" is not showing any info when opened on 16.04. I am just seeing the menus "All", "Installed" and "Updates" and that's all. Nothing else is shown/working.

[15:18] <xubuntu15d> Hi
[15:43] <sector_0> quite a few people are having issues with 16.04 it seems...is this the case when a new version is first released, or is this localized to 16.04?
[15:43] <sector_0> I don't remember having much issues when I went to 14.04
[15:43] <sector_0> now I'm a lil hesitant to go to 16.04
[15:44] <ta_> I haven't really heard anything, what sort of issues?
[15:46] <Kingrat_> only things ive been affected by are the last network-manager update a few days ago re-breaking vpn importing, and the samba 4.3.8 update which also hit 14.04 due to not being able to backport important security fixes
[15:46] <sector_0> ta_, read above
[15:48] <ta_> sector_0, sorry just joined cant see anything before your comment.
[16:07] <sector_0> ta_, there's one guy complaining about the software center not showing any info
[16:07] <sector_0> and another complained about black screen after startup
[16:08] <sector_0> and one guy said he was having trouble with the dropbox widget
[16:08] <sector_0> ...all of which happened after updating 16.04
[16:08] <sector_0> updating *to* 16.04
[16:24] <ta_> ah okay, yeah now that you mention it did have that issue with the software centre
[18:38] <lnostdal> hi guys, anyone upgrade to Xubuntu 16.04 yet? .. how's it going? everything OK? ..   i'm considering doing a full and fresh reinstall first time in about 6 years .. heh
[18:46] <lnostdal> i guess people are afk'ish :) .....anyway, gonna go for it; backups ready .. \o/
[18:54] <xubuntu82w> I got bugs in fresh xubuntu 16.04 install, can somebody expert help me?
[19:30] <dez> anyone here?
[19:31] <knome> no. we're all bots.
[19:32] <dez> xubuntu is aborting an operation
[19:32] <dez> for no reason at all
[19:40] <dez> nvm
[19:40] <dez> found the reason
[19:56] <lucicam> hey guys, can someone help me with a problem?
[19:56] <lucicam> I'm trying to install xubuntu 16.04 on my pc but It doesn't boot :|
[19:56] <lucicam> I've already tried to reinstall it twice
[19:57] <lucicam> I'll show you in a sec what the problem is ...
[19:59] <lucicam> okay, this is what I get when I try to boot xubuntu 16.04 http://imgur.com/a/uWNqC
[20:00] <lucicam> first image is when I try to boot normally, and the second one is when I try to boot in recovery version or what was it called ... guess it's something with the local-block script huh?
[20:13] <lucicam> so one one can help me solve the problem? :(
[20:51] <polik> hello

[21:45] <chilipalmer> I just installed 16.04LTS. Everything is working great! I do have one question. I don't have a software store in any of my XFCE menus. If I do an applicatino search, I see "Software" which is the gnome-software application. Am I missing something or is this a bug?
[21:54] <pencilandpaper> Search for synaptic and see if that is there chilipalmer .
[21:57] <chilipalmer> Synaptic isn't installed.
[22:03] <chilipalmer> I installed Synaptic and it now appears in my Settings sub-menu.
[22:06] <xangua> chilipalmer: gnome software is the new software store
[22:07] <chilipalmer> Xangua, got it. :) My question is why is doesn't show up in any of my Whisker menus? The application is installed and seems to work properly if I manually start it.

[22:17] <xubuntu32d> 16.04
[22:17] <xubuntu32d> What is the best place to report this issue
[22:18] <xubuntu32d> Device is a Lenovo ThinkPad SL510
[22:18] <xubuntu32d> MD5 passed for the DVD
[22:19] <xubuntu32d> Actually as the GUI loaded it said it crashed, but there was no way to report it because there isn't ethernet/wifi drivers yet
[22:20] <xubuntu32d> after pressing ok, it seems to have dropped down to a blinking underscore
[22:20] <xubuntu32d> on a black screeen
[22:20] <xubuntu32d> *screen
[22:21] <xubuntu32d> ok, well since no one is around, I'll leave this open and check the chat later today
