| xubuntu47w | Hi all! | 07:16 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu47w | Looking for a solution for thunar crashes when cut and paste files. Any help? | 07:17 |
| flocculant | xubuntu47w: assuming you're up to date, then it's a known issue which isn't fixed yet | 07:23 |
| xubuntu47w | It's a nasty bug, i am desperate | 07:28 |
| flocculant | yes - we know that, yes - I understand | 07:36 |
| flocculant | you could always try a different file manager see if that helps you, something like pcmanfm perhaps | 07:39 |
| xubuntu47w | Thanks flocculant, I thinking to try Caja from Mate Desktop to remember the old-good nautilus | 07:47 |
| Aavar_ | Hi. I am hoping someone can help me with the installation of Xubuntu. I have started the installation, and I am unsure if it is installing or not. I see the terminal window in the botom of the screen and it is listing warning messages and it has been doing so for a few hours. Is this normal? | 09:19 |
| flocculant | Aavar_: no - it's not | 09:36 |

| Aavar_ | flocculant: Do you know what I can do about it? It says "detecting file systems". The only other (maybe related) issue I had was that it cant unmount /cdrom (probably because I don't actually have a cd-drive and is booting from a partition on a different harddrive. | 10:11 |
| olspookishmagus | hello, every time I open a new roxterm window it creates a 112x84 window which is really small, how do I tamper with this? | 10:14 |
| knome | Aavar_, the /cdrom issue you mention should not block the installation | 10:43 |
| olspookishmagus | answer: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=821357 | 10:44 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 821357 in roxterm "roxterm: starts at completely useless size" [Important,Fixed] | 10:44 |
| Aavar_ | knome flocculant: Could this be related to the partitions? | 10:45 |
| flocculant | Aavar_: what are you doing? installing from iso on a different partition? | 10:46 |
| Aavar_ | flocculant: Yes I am installing from a partition on to another (on the same disk). | 10:46 |
| knome | Aavar_, did you select to use a custom partition setup when installing? | 10:47 |
| flocculant | Aavar_: not sure then tbh - I've only ever used grub to boot the iso | 10:47 |
| Aavar_ | knome: Yes I did. | 10:47 |
| knome | i've done that once or twice, but it's years ago, so i totally don't remember the details | 10:48 |
| knome | do you have any possibility to just dumping the ISO on a USB disk or something? | 10:48 |
| knome | bbabl | 10:48 |
| Aavar_ | knome: The reason why I am booting from a partition on the harddrive is that this computer does not like to boot from usb-drives (old Macbook) | 10:49 |
| * mladen-online is new to xubuntu and to IRC. What a day ! | 11:26 | |
| knome | congratulations | 11:28 |
| mladen-online | thanks knome. I really can't use facebook. | 11:33 |
| mladen-online | sorry guys but I just can't remember the name of the application the displays your system details on the desktop. Can help ? | 11:48 |
| bazhang | conky | 11:48 |
| mladen-online | eureka ! Thx | 11:49 |
| bazhang | ubuntuforums has a superb guide for this | 11:49 |
| bazhang | 'conky beginners guide' <--- first hit | 11:49 |
| mladen-online | what's ubuntu forums ? a irc hannel ? | 11:50 |
| bazhang | an online help forum | 11:50 |
| mladen-online | ok | 11:50 |
| knome | !conky | bazhang | 12:11 |
| ubottu | bazhang: Conky is an application that can show system information (and more) on your desktop. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpConky for more details and a beginners guide. | 12:11 |
| knome | bazhang, just added the factoid for future use | 12:11 |
| bazhang | great call knome thanks | 12:13 |
| mladen-online | thanks ubottu. I was exactly looking for this. I just installed conky via terminal and the default aspect looks so bad, it nearly made me blind | 12:14 |
| bazhang | thats a bot | 12:15 |
| mladen-online | really ? wouaw | 12:15 |
| mladen-online | does the bot understand what i say ? | 12:15 |
| bazhang | sure hope not | 12:16 |
| mladen-online | how do i distinguish bots from humans ? | 12:16 |
| mladen-online | maybe by their speach that sound like google ? lol | 12:18 |
| knome | mladen-online, uBOTtu | 12:30 |
| knome | basically bots should only respond to specific calls, eg. in this case, the line starting with "!conky" (without the quotes) | 12:31 |
| knome | bbl | 12:32 |
| mladen-online | okay | 12:32 |
| mladen-online | !ubottu hi | 12:33 |
| mladen-online | :'(not polite | 12:34 |
| mladen-online | ah my syntax is incorrect | 12:35 |
| mladen-online | !hi | 12:35 |
| ubottu | Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 12:35 |
| mladen-online | :)polite ! | 12:35 |
| mladen-online | okay. I am installing some helpful applications and updates on my new xubuntu install. But before going further I would like to create a LVM picture of my PC. Do you know how to do that ? | 12:37 |
| mladen-online | have to go. bye :) | 12:43 |
| Aavar_ | I managed to install XUbuntu to the drive, but it won't boot when I select it at boot time. As mentioned earlier this is a Mac. How can I fix this? | 13:41 |
| choki | sorry i dont know, maybe you ask in #ubuntu | 13:41 |
| choki | did you choose the mac iso? | 13:42 |
| flocculant | Aavar_: might help to know exactly what 'happens' | 13:42 |
| Aavar_ | flocculant: of cource... my bad. It shows an error. "Non-system disk. Press any key to reboot" | 13:46 |
| === Executioner is now known as Exec | ||
| === Exec is now known as Execthts | ||
| flocculant | Aavar_: sorry - was afk there. Not going to be of much help, with *my* experience that is - troubleshooting apple issues is not something I am much use with | 14:34 |
| flocculant | have some (more) patience and see who else pops up | 14:34 |
| === aziz_ is now known as aziz | ||
| Aavar_ | flocculant: okey. Thank you anyway :) | 15:16 |
| flocculant | Aavar_: you might want to ask 'question' periodically, this being irc ... | 16:21 |
| ax562 | hello hello hello | 18:44 |
| Sandeira | Anyone see my Question in #Xubuntu-offtopic ? | 20:35 |
| MR-DOS | what was your question | 20:37 |
| tmsbrg | what input system does Xubuntu 16.04 use? The kind of software like ibus, except it's not ibus | 21:14 |
| * mladen-online is back on hexchat | 21:20 | |
| mladen-online | the graphics are a little sad, but new interresting functionalities | 21:21 |
| mladen-online | so, as said before, first day on IRC. Also first day on xubuntu. Which is nice btw | 21:22 |
| tmsbrg | Xubuntu really is nice | 21:23 |
| mladen-online | I'm looking for a software that allows me to flash a microcontroller | 21:24 |
| mladen-online | I used to have flash magic, but that's only for windows or mac | 21:24 |
| mladen-online | and I'd like to avoid vine | 21:24 |
| mladen-online | any idea ? | 21:24 |
| mladen-online | bang ! tough question for a first day ! | 21:25 |
| tmsbrg | sorry, i don't flash microcontrollers every day. Actually I never do | 21:27 |
| tmsbrg | what I do every day however is type " on top of letters which I'm now unable to due to what seems like an input system bug | 21:27 |
| mladen-online | yeah. that's not a funny thing to do. That's understandable | 21:27 |
| mladen-online | actually I'm trying to fix a keyboard (for music) : M-audio Axiom Pro 61 keys, that doesn't boot | 21:29 |
| mladen-online | Maybe you have ever heard about a small program written in python, called : miniterm.py | 21:33 |
| mladen-online | ? | 21:33 |
| mladen-online | Does that ring your bell ? | 21:33 |
| mladen-online | I saw a guy on youtube, using this to talk to his microcontroller from a linux OS | 21:35 |
| mladen-online | but not really user friendly. That's why I ask on this channel if any of you know a software to program microcontrollers from linux | 21:36 |
| tmsbrg | the answer to my question apparently was XIM | 21:44 |
| tmsbrg | and installing ibus fixed my bug of not being able to type things like ï with the altgr dead keys input method | 21:46 |
| Unit193 | tmsbrg: It used to be shipped by default, but there was some big problems with it. | 21:48 |
| tmsbrg | there were? I know it used to be, because I used to always use it. Never had problems with ibus myself though | 21:48 |
| tmsbrg | well except https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1138159 but I solved that | 21:49 |
| ubottu | Mozilla bug 1138159 in Widget: Gtk "selecting text with ibus pinyin input method on Xubuntu immediately deletes it" [Normal,New] | 21:49 |
| tmsbrg | maybe I should report this, but I just installed Xubuntu, and in the install menu I picked US international AltGr dead keys (the best keyboard layout for international programmers), tested it and it worked fine (press altgr+" and then i to get ï, press " to get regular ", no dead key); but then when Xubuntu was installed it broke. Pressing altgr+" wasn't a dead key anymore (and neither was regular "), so I couldn't type ï etc. | 21:52 |
| tmsbrg | just installed 16.04 that is | 21:52 |
