| grauhat | Ok, thx | 00:00 |
| knome | np | 00:00 |
| grauhat | :) | 00:00 |
| xubuntu98w | looks like sudo apt-get --purge autoremove removed some old kernels | 00:05 |
| knome | likely so | 00:05 |
| xubuntu98w | can I purge the autoclean command as well | 00:06 |
| knome | no, there is no purge parameter for that; gone is gone | 00:06 |
| xubuntu98w | ok | 00:06 |
| pencilandpaper | One thing about 14.04 is that you know that its stable right now. 16.04 is still updating on the regular so, it hasn't really "settled" down yet. | 00:08 |
| pencilandpaper | It depends on what you prefer using I guess. :) | 00:09 |
| pencilandpaper | I don't mind 14.04. Its a decent release..I like it. | 00:09 |
| pencilandpaper | How it dropped with debian 8 jessie is awesome. | 00:09 |
| knome | pencilandpaper, it's released and signed off, and it's much more likely that bugs on it will be fixed. | 00:09 |
| pencilandpaper | I understand knome . | 00:10 |
| pencilandpaper | But just like some hang out on precise, I was just mentioning that for those that prefer to use 14.04 its there to use. | 00:11 |
| xubuntu98w | what's Transmission's package name? Says not installed (but it is) | 00:11 |
| pencilandpaper | Its called transmission-gtk xubuntu98w . | 00:11 |
| xubuntu98w | ok thanks | 00:11 |
| pencilandpaper | Yw. | 00:12 |
| xubuntu98w | Why do applications remain listed in the installed section of gnome software after removal via the terminal? | 00:17 |
| xubuntu98w | also, just realized that I removed pidgin without first deleting my account (i didn't auth to services though). does this mean the account was removed or do I need to contact pidgin to remove it? | 00:19 |
| knome | what account exactly? | 00:19 |
| ax562 | xubuntu98w I found installing synaptic helped with the headache software was giving me. | 00:20 |
| xubuntu98w | an IRC account | 00:20 |
| ax562 | really buggy imho | 00:20 |
| xubuntu98w | I used Pidgin to connect to one IRC server | 00:20 |
| knome | xubuntu98w, there's no account created | 00:21 |
| xubuntu98w | in order to do that, I needed to create an account | 00:21 |
| knome | it's just user configuration | 00:21 |
| xubuntu98w | Ok | 00:21 |
| xubuntu98w | Wasn't sure if I actually registered information to be saved in their system | 00:21 |
| knome | there is no pidgin "system" that tracks any data, it's all on your computer. | 00:22 |
| xubuntu98w | is that the case with xchat too? | 00:22 |
| knome | yes | 00:22 |
| xubuntu98w | nice | 00:22 |
| xubuntu98w | yeah I don't normally use IRC, but it's become an essential tool for me more recently to connect with a certain online community | 00:23 |
| xubuntu98w | anyone else have "ImageMagick" installed on their system? | 00:25 |
| xubuntu98w | I never installed this myself, so I'm thinking it must have been bundled with the 3rd party apps that you can choose to include during the OS install | 00:26 |
| knome | everybody has it; it's a bug/issue that it is showing on the menu. | 00:26 |
| xubuntu98w | According to the gnome software user reviews, others are having difficulty uninstalling it | 00:27 |
| xubuntu98w | is it a bug with 16.04? | 00:27 |
| knome | yes. | 00:27 |
| xubuntu98w | i see | 00:27 |

| xubuntu56w | how to set up a static ip in 16.04? | 03:09 |
| xubuntu42i | ahhh | 03:47 |
| xubuntu42i | silence | 03:47 |
| cmcmanis | xubuntu56w you just set it in /etc/net/interfaces | 05:09 |
| archmonkey | hi, how do I auto-mount an internal hdd that usually starts unmounted on boot? | 09:07 |
| ollehar | hi! | 13:26 |
| ollehar | slight problem with apt-get/dpkg | 13:26 |
| ollehar | wanted to install wine, had to abort it, now it's stuck on downloading flashplugin-installer | 13:27 |
| ollehar | can I abort that somehow? everytime I do `dpkg --configure -a` it starts over downloading it. | 13:27 |
| evgeny-tr | Hi there! Does anyone has a problem with the Application Manager that won't start up on Xubuntu 16.04 | 14:02 |
| GeekDudeXu | I'm having a rather odd issue with my desktop icons. The text of the icon is left-aligned, and the shadow is center-aligned | 15:03 |
| GeekDudeXu | It looks really bizarre, any idea how I might fix it? | 15:04 |
| GeekDudeXu | This is with the latest 16.04 LTS | 15:05 |
| GeekDudeXu | Just installed this morning | 15:05 |

| asianMike | hello, got a general question about choosing 32 vs. 64. i have an old machine (Thinkpad T60p) and its ram is limited to 3gb (intel 945gm chipset). the processor is t7200, 64bit capable. | 20:14 |
| Unit193 | asianMike: I'd go with 64bit then. | 20:14 |
| asianMike | since it is an old machine, would it be better to install the 32bit version? | 20:14 |
| knome | no | 20:15 |
| asianMike | okay sounds good | 20:15 |
| knome | (the 32-bit version is for 32-bit machines, not for old machines...) | 20:15 |
| asianMike | i only ask because in windows 7, it runs horribly in my machine if i use 64 bit varient over the 32 bit | 20:16 |
| asianMike | knome: thanks for that clarification. that makes the decision easy. | 20:16 |
| knome | :) | 20:17 |
| Unit193 | https://bryanquigley.com/memory-usage/ubuntu-16-04-livecd-memory-usage-compared that might be handy. | 20:18 |
| asianMike | Unit193: thanks very much. great info | 20:20 |
| Unit193 | asianMike: Hope it helps some. Then you only have diskspace in regards to using multiarch stuff. But as a general rule, Ubuntu is trying to move people off of 32bit so that's mainly why it'd be a good idea to use 64 (as well as some applications like chrome only ship for 64 nowdays.) | 20:21 |
| ax562 | asianMike you might have to enable each core manually on win7 to get better performance on the 64 bit OS | 20:22 |
| asianMike | ax562: yeah, the original laptop shipped with windows xp 32bit (and then last of its kind was shipped with vista business 64bit). i'm hoping xubunutu will be a better home for it | 20:25 |
| ax562 | for the most part it will be but you should throw windows 8.1 on it as well. 8.1 is really efficient and you can have the best of both worlds. | 20:26 |
| ax562 | if you do though install 8.1 first the xubuntu | 20:27 |
| asianMike | Unit193: that's good to know and it's something i didn't consider. on my other partition, i have windows xp installed and chrome has stopped supporting it altogether. good idea to just do 64bit | 20:27 |
| asianMike | ax562: you read my mind because my next question was going to be about dual booting. so install windows OS first and then xubuntu | 20:27 |
| ax562 | yeah in that order so you can dual boot | 20:28 |
| asianMike | thanks! | 20:29 |
| ax562 | np | 20:29 |
| Unit193 | asianMike: Does your computer support UEFI/Secure boot? | 20:31 |
| asianMike | Unit193: let me check that | 20:35 |
| asianMike | Unit193: i don't think so. don't see any options in bios for secure boot menu | 20:42 |
| asianMike | Unit193: i also checked the latest BIOS readme file from lenovo's website and it has no mention of UEFI/secure book. so im guessing not... | 20:44 |
| mladen-online | Dear all, I have installed on xubuntu a windows executable using wine. The program doesn't work and I'd like to uninstall | 20:48 |
| mladen-online | any idea how it works ? | 20:48 |
| knome | if the app has a built-in uninstall script, use that | 20:49 |
| knome | (as you would in windows) | 20:49 |
| mladen-online | that worked. Sorry for my lack of imagination. I'm a newbie on xubuntu | 20:51 |
| knome | actually i think your imagination was flying way too high. :) | 20:52 |
| mladen-online | How do I get the COM port number of a UDB device from terminal ? | 21:08 |
| Rayne | lsusb | 21:09 |
| mladen-online | thx | 21:10 |
| xubuntu872 | hi, my name is Anne, i'm trying to install xubuntu but i got an error saying filesystem ext4 creation failed on partition n°1SCSI1(0,0,0) (sda). Does it mean my HDD is dead ? | 22:13 |
| knome | xubuntu872, i guess that's at least one of the possibilities... | 22:16 |
| asianMike | xubuntu872: look here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/356522/filesystem-creation-fails-when-trying-to-install-ubuntu-over-windows | 22:18 |
| xubuntu872 | ok, thanks knome and AsianMike ! | 22:18 |
| w1nky | hi guys | 22:18 |
| w1nky | can anybody help with xubuntu 16.04 lts and gimp 2.8.16 ? | 22:19 |
| knome | w1nky, maybe, if you tell us what your problem is.. | 22:19 |
| w1nky | i'm looking for the "file > create > from webpage"-feature, but can't find any information | 22:19 |
| w1nky | i was using it a lot with xubuntu 14.04 lts but in 16.04 lts it's gone | 22:20 |
| w1nky | the gimp-version is in both cases 2.8.16 | 22:20 |
| knome | have you enabled a PPA to get that gimp version in 14.04 then? | 22:21 |
| w1nky | that's a good question, brb | 22:21 |
| knome | because http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/gimp says the default version in 14.04 is 2.8.10 | 22:22 |
| w1nky | ah damn it | 22:22 |
| w1nky | thank you very much ^^ | 22:23 |
| knome | np | 22:23 |
