[00:04] <tumi123> can someone walk me through on how to install the latest version of libusb on xubuntu?
[00:05] <knome> by "latest", what do you mean?
[00:05] <tumi123> 1.0.21
[00:05] <knome> is it not available in the repositories?
[00:06] <tumi123> the version that i download from apt-get install libusb-dev is 0.1.12 which is old, i need a newer version specifically 1.0.16 or higher in order to get something that i want working
[00:07] <tumi123> http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/libusb.html i download a package from here
[00:07] <tumi123> but im not sure how to install it
[00:07] <knome> which xubuntu version are you on?
[00:08] <tumi123> 16.10 lts
[00:08] <knome> and what do you need the latest version for?
[00:09] <tumi123> https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=How_to_use_the_Official_GameCube_Controller_Adapter_for_Wii_U_in_Dolphin#Linux im trying to follow this guide in order to use the offical gamecube adapter on a program called Dolphin, which emulates wii and gamecube games
[00:09] <knome> "Linux support requires libusb version 1.0.16 or greater."
[00:10] <tumi123> yep
[00:10] <knome> the libusb version in 16.10 is 1.0.20
[00:10] <knome> so you don't need .21
[00:11] <knome> sudo apt install libusb-1.0.0(-dev)
[00:11] <knome> (-dev if you for some reason need the development version)
[00:12] <tumi123> thank you so much
[00:12] <tumi123> sorry im very new to linux
[00:12] <tumi123> i appreciate it
[00:13] <knome> we all need to start somewhere
[00:13] <knome> when you start seeing stuff like "./configure" and "make", ask yourself if you *really* need that thing
[00:13] <knome> for clarity, those lines mean you'll start building packages by hand, which is in most cases not needed
[02:50] <peeps[lappy]> i want a linux on my keychain.  i got one of these drives: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-128GB-Flash-MUF-128BB-AM/dp/B017DH3O5A  thinking of putting xubuntu on it
[02:52] <peeps[lappy]> i guess I'm wondering how i should partition it, i want to have one partition that I can just use for general storage on any host OS(like usb flash is normally used for), so that would need to be FAT i think, would it matter the order, which partition is the FAT?
[02:53] <krytarik> peeps[lappy]: Nope.
[02:54] <krytarik> !partition
[02:59] <peeps[lappy]> anything in particular to do for a live flash distro, is it going to have problems going between different hardware configurations?
[03:01] <cfhowlett> peeps[lappy], step 1.  boot hardware from USB        step 2.  note any problems.    step 3. ask about actual issues.
[03:02] <peeps[lappy]> cfhowlett, i want something that will be as compatible as possible with various hardware, so i can load it up on any computer.  not just one specific computer
[03:03] <cfhowlett> no guarantees but lubuntu should work on most legacy systems
[03:04] <krytarik> peeps[lappy]: Just put a Live image on it then, with or without persistence.
[03:11] <peeps[lappy]> how do i configure persistence
[03:11] <cfhowlett> !persistence | peeps[lappy]
[03:13] <peeps[lappy]> ok, thanks
[03:14] <cfhowlett> happy2help! peeps[lappy]
[03:17] <krytarik> peeps[lappy]: Some USB burning tools have an option for it - that's a bit long-winded there.
[04:05] <guy> Hello
[04:06] <guy> I have a xubuntu question if anyone isn't afk.
[04:08] <krytarik> guy: Just asking is how IRC works usually.
[04:09] <guy> Alright
[04:10] <guy> I've recently started using xubuntu and notice that the audio mixer doesn't seem to auto switch over volume control to the active output device.
[04:11] <guy> It keeps the volume control on the non-used audio device (internal laptop speakers) instead of sending them over to the active audo device (external speakers.)
[04:20] <peeps[lappy]> krytarik, yeah i'm still kinda mixed up here, do you know if any USB burning tool has option to make a separate partition that I could use with to r/w from windows host?
[04:21] <krytarik> peeps[lappy]: Well, generally you create that separately.
[04:21] <peeps[lappy]> is the casper-rw partition the same parition that holds the OS, or are they 2 different ones.  i think i need 3 total partitions?
[04:22] <peeps[lappy]> OS, persistence, and windows-compatible storage
[04:23] <guy> Found the solution to my own question here. https://askubuntu.com/questions/113704/make-pulseaudio-prefer-external-audio-device
[04:27] <guy> Does anyone know how to set the right click menu to trigger on release of mouse button instead on press?
[05:55] <walrider> there isnt a iso for xubuntu server 14.04.4 :(
[06:02] <walrider> :D
