[00:00] <knome> (or use google or another search engine, the download pages aren't really hidden)
[00:00] <grauhat> Ok, thx
[00:00] <knome> np
[00:00] <grauhat> :)
[00:05] <xubuntu98w> looks like sudo apt-get --purge autoremove removed some old kernels
[00:05] <knome> likely so
[00:06] <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
[00:08] <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.
[00:09] <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.
[00:10] <pencilandpaper> I understand knome .
[00:11] <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
[00:12] <pencilandpaper> Yw.
[00:17] <xubuntu98w> Why do applications remain listed in the installed section of gnome software after removal via the terminal?
[00:19] <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?
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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
[00:22] <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
[00:23] <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
[00:25] <xubuntu98w> anyone else have "ImageMagick" installed on their system?
[00:26] <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.
[00:27] <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
[03:09] <xubuntu56w> how to set up a static ip in 16.04?
[03:47] <xubuntu42i> ahhh
[03:47] <xubuntu42i> silence
[05:09] <cmcmanis> xubuntu56w you just set it in /etc/net/interfaces
[09:07] <archmonkey> hi, how do I auto-mount an internal hdd that usually starts unmounted on boot?
[13:26] <ollehar> hi!
[13:26] <ollehar> slight problem with apt-get/dpkg
[13:27] <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.
[14:02] <evgeny-tr> Hi there! Does anyone has a problem with the Application Manager that won't start up on Xubuntu 16.04
[15:03] <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
[15:04] <GeekDudeXu> It looks really bizarre, any idea how I might fix it?
[15:05] <GeekDudeXu> This is with the latest 16.04 LTS
[15:05] <GeekDudeXu> Just installed this morning
[20:14] <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?
[20:15] <knome> no
[20:15] <asianMike> okay sounds good
[20:15] <knome> (the 32-bit version is for 32-bit machines, not for old machines...)
[20:16] <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.
[20:17] <knome> :)
[20:18] <Unit193> https://bryanquigley.com/memory-usage/ubuntu-16-04-livecd-memory-usage-compared that might be handy.
[20:20] <asianMike> Unit193: thanks very much. great info
[20:21] <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.)
[20:22] <ax562> asianMike you might have to enable each core manually on win7 to get better performance on the 64 bit OS
[20:25] <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
[20:26] <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.
[20:27] <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
[20:28] <ax562> yeah in that order so you can dual boot
[20:29] <asianMike> thanks!
[20:29] <ax562> np
[20:31] <Unit193> asianMike: Does your computer support UEFI/Secure boot?
[20:35] <asianMike> Unit193: let me check that
[20:42] <asianMike> Unit193: i don't think so. don't see any options in bios for secure boot menu
[20:44] <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...
[20:48] <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 ?
[20:49] <knome> if the app has a built-in uninstall script, use that
[20:49] <knome> (as you would in windows)
[20:51] <mladen-online> that worked. Sorry for my lack of imagination. I'm a newbie on xubuntu
[20:52] <knome> actually i think your imagination was flying way too high. :)
[21:08] <mladen-online> How do I get the COM port number of a UDB device from terminal ?
[21:09] <Rayne> lsusb
[21:10] <mladen-online> thx
[22:13] <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 ?
[22:16] <knome> xubuntu872, i guess that's at least one of the possibilities...
[22:18] <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
[22:19] <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
[22:20] <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
[22:21] <knome> have you enabled a PPA to get that gimp version in 14.04 then?
[22:21] <w1nky> that's a good question, brb
[22:22] <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
[22:23] <w1nky> thank you very much ^^
[22:23] <knome> np
[22:36] <xubuntu98i> join
[22:36] <xubuntu98i> ?
