| krytarik | v_: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-install-flash.html | 01:37 |
| v_ | thx. but on that link, it said make sure that the canonical partner repository is activated. waht is it? can i skip that and click install adobe-flashplugin package straight away? | 01:57 |
| krytarik | That's a link, click it. | 01:58 |
| v_ | thx. when i click the repository link it said i have not enough space. can i ignore it and click install flash player directly? | 02:03 |
| krytarik | No. | 02:04 |
| krytarik | To recite that page though: "To enable the repository, follow the steps above to open the Other Software tab in Software & Updates. If you see the Canonical Partners repository in the list, make sure it is checked then close the Software & Updates window." | 02:07 |
| krytarik | !partner | 02:07 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 02:07 |
| v_ | it asks for click the ubuntu software icon in the launcher. where to find it? this is my first time to use linus. | 02:11 |
| krytarik | What version of Xubuntu are you on? | 02:12 |
| v_ | how to find that info. thx | 02:13 |
| krytarik | Well, let's just assume it's "Software" already then: http://docs.xubuntu.org/1610/user/C/managing-applications.html#gnome-software | 02:15 |
| v_ | i just click file manager, it said xubuntu-16.10-desktop-i386.iso, waht does it mean? thx | 02:18 |
| menindorf | Hello, I am having trouble getting a Raedon RX 480 card to be recognized. I am fairly newb to linux/ubuntu. . . can anyone help? I have already installed amdgpu-pro | 02:22 |
| menindorf | anyone here??? | 02:25 |
| krytarik | Yes, just looking at: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Radeon-GPU-PRO-Linux-Beta-Driver%E2%80%93Release-Notes.aspx | 02:26 |
| menindorf | Yes, I followed the instructions on that link ~ as carefully as I could. | 02:27 |
| krytarik | And by not recognized you mean what exactly? | 02:28 |
| menindorf | I am also using a 1x to 16x pcie riser. . . I don't know if this could be effecting the issue. Xubuntu does not seem to "see" that anything is there at all. . . | 02:28 |
| menindorf | Is there a way to check and see if the system knows my card is there? | 02:29 |
| krytarik | "lspci", for example. | 02:29 |
| menindorf | 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 06) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) 00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Controller 00:16.0 Communication | 02:29 |
| menindorf | Oooo - that doesn't format very nicely in the chat :/ | 02:30 |
| menindorf | 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev d0) | 02:30 |

| krytarik | But I guess that's redundant by now. | 02:31 |
| menindorf | http://paste.ubuntu.com/24192798/ | 02:32 |
| menindorf | I tried using a jumper wire as in this link: http://www.gobitgo.com/articles/1001/How-To-Correctly-Use-and-Install-PCI-E-Riser-Cables/ | 02:35 |
| v_ | hi whenever i click the downloaded chrome amd64.deb file in the downloaded box. It said this link needs to be opened with an application sen to:ubiquity-gtkui.desktop. After i click ok, it comes back to the downloaded box with no installing happened. Why | 02:35 |
| menindorf | but I'm not certain I used the correct type of wire | 02:35 |
| v_ | anyone know how to install flash player to linus? thx | 02:40 |
| krytarik | v_: Yes, you - if you read all the given info. | 02:42 |
| menindorf | Am I correct here that the system is not recognizing my graphics card at all? http://paste.ubuntu.com/24192798/ | 02:46 |
| krytarik | Yes. | 02:46 |
| menindorf | fans on the graphics card are spinning, but the Gigabyte lights do not light up. . . | 02:47 |
| menindorf | Any thoughts about what I might try? | 02:47 |
| krytarik | Definitely sounds like hardware then. | 02:47 |
| menindorf | Thank you for your help~ I am using a custom case, and the GPU does not fit. But perhaps I can physically modify it so I can plug it directly into the motherboard without the 1x riser~ | 02:50 |
| v_ | i've follow your flash.html web address and it ask me to install other repositories by click the ubuntu software icon in the launcher, or search for software in the search bar. i don,t know where to find the launcher or the search bar because i only have floppy drive , trash, home, file system and install icon in my ubuntu desktop. thx | 02:56 |
| v_ | i think i am using xubuntu 8.0-4 | 02:59 |
| krytarik | I think not. | 03:00 |
| v_ | how do i find out what is my ubuntu version? thx | 03:01 |
| v_ | when i open the firefox in linus, it comes up with a page saying welcome to ubuntu 8.04 LTS | 03:04 |

| xubuntu17w | Help! I live in Toronto & I know nothing about this system that my son-in-law installed. It is now "humming" loudly! Also I cannot no longer view youTube,all videos are "black screen" & will not open! Can anyone help me here in Toronto? PLEASE | 08:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | did it work before? | 08:42 |
| pmjdebruijn | xubuntu17w: did you try to reboot? | 08:45 |
| pmjdebruijn | xubuntu17w: since your son-in-law installed it, he'd probably also be the best person to help you | 08:49 |
| pmjdebruijn | since he know how the install was done exactly | 08:49 |

| ddoobb | Hey, new user here. How do I get a Unity style dash or something close? Appfinder isn't good enough. | 14:59 |
| pmjdebruijn | ddoobb: installing regular ubuntu seems the obvious answer here :) | 15:01 |
| pmjdebruijn | ddoobb: though whisker menu does allow search for apps too | 15:01 |
| pmjdebruijn | or are you looking to search through your files? | 15:02 |
| digbychicken | ddoobb: CTRL-ESC will bring up the whisker menu and let you search for apps. | 15:02 |
| ddoobb | pmjdebruijn: Nope, just app search would be enough | 15:02 |
| pmjdebruijn | the default whisker menu allows that by default | 15:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | https://xubuntu.org/screenshots/1604_whisker/ | 15:03 |
| ddoobb | Hmmm, ctrl+esc just brings up the desktop context menu. THere's no app search there (?) | 15:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | which version of xubuntu are you using? | 15:04 |
| pmjdebruijn | 16.04? | 15:04 |
| ddoobb | Oh, wait, I'm running xfce on Ubuntu. Should have mentioned that before. | 15:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | that means you're not running xubuntu at all..... but sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 15:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | not sure how that will affect an already initliazed profile | 15:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | since you logged in with xfce's defaults, not xubuntu's defaults | 15:06 |
| ddoobb | Thanks, whisker menu works | 15:10 |
| menindorf | Good morning Xubuntu chat. . . can anyone help me with a multi-display issue I am having? | 15:27 |
| pmjdebruijn | menindorf: just explain your issue, and stick around for someone to answer | 15:28 |
| * pmjdebruijn doesn't have any experience with multi display | 15:28 | |
| pmjdebruijn | explain exactly what graphics card/driver/display/resolutions are involved in your setup | 15:29 |
| menindorf | Thank you~ | 15:29 |
| menindorf | I am trying to run an AMD RX 480 graphics card in a PCIe 16x slot. I am hoping this card will power a second (non-primary) display. I would like to use the on-board graphics driver for the primary display. Currently I have visual on the secondary monitor, but the primary is getting a blank feed. (Not zero feed, as it is not in power-save mode, but just a black screen.) In settings/display -- both monitors show up, but when I | 15:32 |
