[01:06] <Pelo1968> evening folks, new to xubuntu but not to linux,  trying like heck to get the correct keyboard layout after the install but not getting anywhere
[01:06] <Pelo1968> HELP !!
[01:29] <bazhang> with what
[03:23] <xubuntu78d> hiyas xubuntu folks.  gnubee here.  trying to figure out how to tell whether my xubuntu install is 64 bit or 32 bit.  any suggestions?
[03:27] <gr1dl0ck> xubuntu78d: uname -a
[03:29] <xubuntu78d> thanks.  does i686 mean it is 32 bit?
[03:32] <xangua> Yes
[03:34] <xubuntu78d> is there some list of terminal commands somewhere on the net? or do I just need to invest in a book?  appreciate your assistance
[03:36] <xangua> ! Terminal
[03:39] <xubuntu78d> well, I have been using the CLI (terminal).  just wondering how to easily learn the commands.  XUbuntu 16.04.1
[03:39] <xubuntu78d> will look thru that guide, thanks heaps for your helpfulness
[12:10] <Bagira79> Hello there!
[12:11] <Bagira79> Is there any way to use my pc with an S3 Trio grapics card with Xubuntu?
[12:14] <Bagira79> Is anybody here?
[12:15] <knome> no, we're all lurking.
[12:15] <knome> oops, i spoiled our cover.
[12:15] <Bagira79> :-)
[12:15] <knome> anyway, you can try the live DVD to see if xubuntu works with your computer
[12:16] <knome> the graphics card is hardly ever the showstopper...
[12:16] <Bagira79> It doesn't. One half of the screen is dark, and the image on the upper half is also distorted.
[12:18] <Bagira79> My previous motherboard has died. The actual one doesn't have any AGP ports in.
[12:21] <Bagira79> Ok, thans. Happy new year!
[12:21] <flocculant> nomodeset from the bootup F6 menu *might* help to boot
[12:22] <knome> s3 trio's are really old, right?
[12:22] <flocculant> iirc
[12:22] <knome> so might be something else affecting this stuff as well
[12:24] <Bagira79> flocculant, would you please explain what to do?
[12:28] <flocculant> Bagira79: look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[12:29] <flocculant> lunch time here - not really about - that said it might not help anyway
[12:32] <Bagira79> If I try to boot, grub is ok, but after a few mins comes a blank screen with some strange characters.
[12:32] <Bagira79> Good appetite!
[12:36] <flocculant> I do have vaague recollection of s3trio being deprecated a while back - drivers seem to be available for 14.04 last
[13:54] <_maddy> problem with parole/xfburn on mp3 file: "Could not initialise Xv output", I guess I am missing some package?
[13:55] <_maddy> some suggestions on google say to install gstreamer 0.10 plugins (I have gstreamer 1.0 plugins installed)
[13:58] <_maddy> or to do "parole --xv false", but that doesn't work
[17:02] <xangua> Morning everyone, I've used both Xubuntu and Lubuntu in this old laptop, but I can't suspend
[17:02] <xangua> Well I can suspend, but when trying to resume the screen will stay black
[18:08] <xubuntu01i> help to shutdown xubuntu 16.04
[18:09] <gr1dl0ck> shutdown -h now
[18:10] <gr1dl0ck> oh he's gone
[18:17] <flocculant> shutdown at wall then :p
[18:21] <xubuntu91i> hellas
[20:19] <urmygoogle> Can this be used for tablet?
[20:32] <knome> urmygoogle, xubuntu? no.
[20:33] <knome> well, i guess you *can* if you insist, but not really.
[20:33] <urmygoogle> Why knome
[20:33] <knome> because we don't have any builds suitable for tablets
[20:33] <urmygoogle> Which are other option
[20:33] <knome> other options for what?
[20:33] <urmygoogle> For Linux on tablet
[20:34] <knome> i haven't got the answer for that, i don't own a tablet or have been looking for alternatives
[20:34] <urmygoogle> Xubuntu supports touch?
[20:34] <Artemis3> more like, is your touch device supported?
[20:35] <urmygoogle> Tablet is touch
[20:35] <knome> if touching the screen essentially produces a mouse click, yes
[20:35] <urmygoogle> Yes
[20:35] <Artemis3> yes try that first
[20:35] <knome> urmygoogle, if you have to ask this many questions, then practically the answer is that you can't get xubuntu in your tablet
[20:35] <Artemis3> ok then its a matter of adding a helper add for gestures etc
[20:35] <Artemis3> app
[20:35] <urmygoogle> Xubuntu supports drivers internally?
[20:35] <Artemis3> some programs like chrome already have gestures out of the box
[20:36] <urmygoogle> What's gestures?
[20:36] <knome> urmygoogle, despite your nick, we are NOT your google
[20:36] <urmygoogle> Never tried on Google chrome
[20:36] <Artemis3> lol xD
[20:36] <urmygoogle> knome:  only you have clarified
[20:36] <Artemis3> touchegg is one i think, to add gestures to other apps
[20:37] <urmygoogle> I just need touch and click action
[20:37] <urmygoogle> Nothing fancy
[20:37] <Artemis3> perhaps other desktops are better suited for touch screens, but i guess you can make xfce usable by tweaking a few things
[20:38] <urmygoogle> Xubuntu is desktop?
[21:01] <xangua> So  using Lubuntu, but I've tried Xubuntu and I can't get suspend to work... Well actually works but when trying to resume the stern
[21:01] <xangua> Screen stays black
[21:03] <xangua> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1303736 I've tried some "fixes" mentioned the but they are only temporal, next time I reboot I can't resume from suspend
[22:38] <Pelo1968> evening folks, and new xubuntu user , just switched over from ubuntu and I'M having difficulties setting up a samba share so I can connect with my phone,  can anyone help ?
[22:50] <Pelo1968> nvm ,managed it myself
[23:35] <Pelo1968> trying to launch at startup but no work,  the command line I use works in the terminal but not in a launcher or in alt-f2,   any suggestions ?
