[01:06] 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] HELP !! [01:29] with what [03:23] 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] xubuntu78d: uname -a [03:29] thanks. does i686 mean it is 32 bit? [03:32] Yes [03:34] 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] ! Terminal [03:36] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. In Unity or GNOME, search the dash for "terminal" and press ENTER. Other desktops: Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal (MATE), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:39] well, I have been using the CLI (terminal). just wondering how to easily learn the commands. XUbuntu 16.04.1 [03:39] will look thru that guide, thanks heaps for your helpfulness === yazdmich is now known as BytesAndCoffee === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [12:10] Hello there! [12:11] Is there any way to use my pc with an S3 Trio grapics card with Xubuntu? [12:14] Is anybody here? [12:15] no, we're all lurking. [12:15] oops, i spoiled our cover. [12:15] :-) [12:15] anyway, you can try the live DVD to see if xubuntu works with your computer [12:16] the graphics card is hardly ever the showstopper... [12:16] It doesn't. One half of the screen is dark, and the image on the upper half is also distorted. [12:18] My previous motherboard has died. The actual one doesn't have any AGP ports in. [12:21] Ok, thans. Happy new year! [12:21] nomodeset from the bootup F6 menu *might* help to boot [12:22] s3 trio's are really old, right? [12:22] iirc [12:22] so might be something else affecting this stuff as well [12:24] flocculant, would you please explain what to do? [12:28] Bagira79: look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [12:29] lunch time here - not really about - that said it might not help anyway [12:32] If I try to boot, grub is ok, but after a few mins comes a blank screen with some strange characters. [12:32] Good appetite! [12:36] I do have vaague recollection of s3trio being deprecated a while back - drivers seem to be available for 14.04 last === SmartCat is now known as SuperCat [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] Morning everyone, I've used both Xubuntu and Lubuntu in this old laptop, but I can't suspend [17:02] Well I can suspend, but when trying to resume the screen will stay black [18:08] help to shutdown xubuntu 16.04 [18:09] shutdown -h now [18:10] oh he's gone [18:17] shutdown at wall then :p [18:21] hellas [20:19] Can this be used for tablet? [20:32] urmygoogle, xubuntu? no. [20:33] well, i guess you *can* if you insist, but not really. [20:33] Why knome [20:33] because we don't have any builds suitable for tablets [20:33] Which are other option [20:33] other options for what? [20:33] For Linux on tablet [20:34] i haven't got the answer for that, i don't own a tablet or have been looking for alternatives [20:34] Xubuntu supports touch? [20:34] more like, is your touch device supported? [20:35] Tablet is touch [20:35] if touching the screen essentially produces a mouse click, yes [20:35] Yes [20:35] yes try that first [20:35] 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] ok then its a matter of adding a helper add for gestures etc [20:35] app [20:35] Xubuntu supports drivers internally? [20:35] some programs like chrome already have gestures out of the box [20:36] What's gestures? [20:36] urmygoogle, despite your nick, we are NOT your google [20:36] Never tried on Google chrome [20:36] lol xD [20:36] knome: only you have clarified [20:36] touchegg is one i think, to add gestures to other apps [20:37] I just need touch and click action [20:37] Nothing fancy [20:37] perhaps other desktops are better suited for touch screens, but i guess you can make xfce usable by tweaking a few things [20:38] Xubuntu is desktop? [21:01] 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] Screen stays black [21:03] 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 [21:03] Launchpad bug 1303736 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "[SRU] Black screen after wakeup from suspending by closing the laptop lid" [High,Fix released] [22:38] 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] nvm ,managed it myself [23:35] 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 ? [23:57] brb
