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.

[01:37] <krytarik> v_: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-install-flash.html
[01:57] <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?
[01:58] <krytarik> That's a link, click it.
[02:03] <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?
[02:04] <krytarik> No.
[02:07] <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" »
[02:11] <v_> it asks for click the ubuntu software icon in the launcher. where to find it? this is my first time to use linus.
[02:12] <krytarik> What version of Xubuntu are you on?
[02:13] <v_> how to find that info. thx
[02:15] <krytarik> Well, let's just assume it's "Software" already then: http://docs.xubuntu.org/1610/user/C/managing-applications.html#gnome-software
[02:18] <v_> i just click file manager, it said xubuntu-16.10-desktop-i386.iso, waht does it mean? thx
[02:22] <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
[02:25] <menindorf> anyone here???
[02:26] <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
[02:27] <menindorf> Yes, I followed the instructions on that link ~ as carefully as I could.
[02:28] <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. . .
[02:29] <menindorf> Is there a way to check and see if the system knows my card is there?
[02:29] <krytarik> "lspci", for example.

[02:35] <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
[02:40] <v_> anyone know how to install flash player to linus? thx
[02:42] <krytarik> v_: Yes, you - if you read all the given info.
[02:46] <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.
[02:47] <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.
[02:50] <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~
[02:56] <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
[02:59] <v_> i think i am using xubuntu 8.0-4
[03:00] <krytarik> I think not.
[03:01] <v_> how do i find out what is my ubuntu version? thx
[03:04] <v_> when i open the firefox in linus, it comes up with a page saying welcome to ubuntu 8.04 LTS
[03:05] <v_> where can i find the search bar?
[03:06] <v_> httpsoftware

[03:18] <bazhang> v_ you are trying to install something very new on a very old OS
[03:19] <v_> oh thx for coaching
[03:19] <v_> how to solve the problem.
[03:19] <bazhang> v_ first you need to the very latest LTS, which is 16.04
[03:20] <v_> what is LTS?
[03:20] <bazhang> v_ the one you are using is more than 9 years old
[03:20] <bazhang> v_ long term support
[03:20] <v_> oh, i just downloaded from the ubuntu website so that i can use for as a booting disc./
[03:21] <bazhang> v_ yet you said 8.04
[03:22] <bazhang> v_ you are not giving us the answers we need to help you
[03:22] <bazhang> v_ you are just repeating the question about flash
[03:22] <v_> what is the question
[03:25] <v_> how to get the 16.04 linus?
[03:27] <bazhang> v_ it's linux  , not linus
[03:27] <bazhang> !torrents

[03:28] <v_> ok,
[03:28] <v_> ok it said it needs 4 hours.
[03:28] <bazhang> v_ via the browser? or torrent
[03:28] <v_> torrent
[03:29] <bazhang> v_ did you plan to upgrade this in the very near future
[03:29] <v_>  yes.
[03:30] <bazhang> v_ or did you want an OS you can use for many years with changing the system version
[03:30] <bazhang> without
[03:31] <v_> yes, i want an new os that can work for many yrs
[03:31] <bazhang> then you want 16.04
[03:32] <v_> actually i am using firefox in window xp and the firefox says they no longer support firefox for xp
[03:32] <bazhang> https://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
[03:33] <bazhang> get 16.04 from the torrent there
[03:34] <v_> is flash player cannot be download using firefox? it has to download using chrome?
[03:35] <bazhang> v_ I thought you wanted xubuntu help
[03:36] <v_> where to get xbuntu help. i am in a blue.
[03:36] <bazhang> v_ you want xp help and flash?
[03:36] <v_> i dont understand
[03:37] <v_> where to get that helps
[03:37] <bazhang> v_ do you have xubuntu installed, yes or no
[03:37] <v_> yes... 8.04
[03:37] <v_> booting disc.
[03:37] <v_> so i can use linux or window
[03:37] <bazhang> v_ and that version is not been supported for a long while now
[03:38] <bazhang> v_ so the very first thing you need to do is to get the 16.04
[03:38] <v_> i know nothing...why is it not updated automatically like windows
[03:38] <v_> ok thx
[03:38] <bazhang> v_ I am trying to help you, but you are just not listening
[03:39] <v_> so i don't need window
[03:39] <bazhang> get 16.04
[03:39] <bazhang> that is the very first step
[03:39] <v_> does it mean 8.04 can't have flash player
[03:40] <bazhang> it means we dont support 8.04
[03:40] <bazhang> not for a long time
[03:41] <v_> so will linux has auto update if later it has 16.05
[03:41] <bazhang> no
[03:41] <v_> or we have to check it manuaaly every month
[03:41] <bazhang> there is no 16.05
[03:41] <v_> i mean later after 16.04
[03:42] <bazhang> once you get 16.04, then you will not have to upgrade s ystem for several years
[03:43] <bazhang> v_ so get 16.04, and come back when you have it
[03:43] <v_> thx  and i have to finish my lunch now and rush back to work...thx a lot bazhang..its very nice of you

[08:41] <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
[08:42] <pmjdebruijn> did it work before?
[08:45] <pmjdebruijn> xubuntu17w: did you try to reboot?
[08:49] <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

[14:59] <ddoobb> Hey, new user here. How do I get a Unity style dash or something close? Appfinder isn't good enough.
[15:01] <pmjdebruijn> ddoobb: installing regular ubuntu seems the obvious answer here :)
[15:01] <pmjdebruijn> ddoobb: though whisker menu does allow search for apps too
[15:02] <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
[15:03] <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 (?)
[15:04] <pmjdebruijn> which version of xubuntu are you using?
[15:04] <pmjdebruijn> 16.04?
[15:05] <ddoobb> Oh, wait, I'm running xfce on Ubuntu. Should have mentioned that before.
[15:06] <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
[15:10] <ddoobb> Thanks, whisker menu works
[15:27] <menindorf> Good morning Xubuntu chat. . .  can anyone help me with a multi-display issue I am having?
[15:28] <pmjdebruijn> menindorf: just explain your issue, and stick around for someone to answer
[15:28]  * pmjdebruijn doesn't have any experience with multi display
[15:29] <pmjdebruijn> explain exactly what graphics card/driver/display/resolutions are involved in your setup
[15:29] <menindorf> Thank you~
[15:32] <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] <menindorf> both monitor names come up on the secondary monitor
