User12: hello guys! I'm pretty new to xubuntu. I'm having trouble with the command prompt when you disable X. When I enter it via alt+ctrl+f3 it just spams something about edid and unknown nouveau l2c 48 port, something similar. I've been trying to install Nvidia driver for my laptop but the spamming renders the terminal useless
User5: have you tried a different terminal?
User12: how?
User5: alt+ctrl+f1?
User12: it does the same
User5: ahh
User12: I have googled around a bit and i seems these errors are usually caused by graphics ports or drivers
User12: I think it might have to do with my screen being 3d
User8: Has anyone found a frequency scaling application that has a graphic notification

User21: Why is the Xubuntu 12.04.1 32bit ISO of 715MB when in download it shows to be of 682MB?
User21: I am unable to write it on a CS :(
User21: CD*
User21: Wanted to install it on a persons laptop that doesn't support booting from USB and only has cd rom drive
User21: Any help?
User22: have you tried it?
User20: I had a similar issue with xubuntu for ppc, I found a forum post telling you how to trim some stuff from the iso to make it fit, but it work for me but it might work for you.. I'll look for it for you..
User20: also you can set your burner to 'overburn' but your software / hardware has to support it..
User20: I found this.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1870829 there are links that may help you

User18: holstein, http://clip2net.com/s/2gHI8
User23: User18 sometimes, i just pull them out... unfortunately, those messages can also mean the device is going bad
User18: holstein, that's bad news.
User23: User18 i would try unmounting... then i would move on to forcefully removing it, maybe even after shutting down the machine
User23: i would then try right when the stick gets pushed in... not mounting it, just going on to formatting
User18: it gets mounted automatically, though?
User23: User18 shouldnt.. they "show up" automatically by default
User23: if you dont click or mount, it should just be sitting there ready for gparted to mount it
User23: i would try plugging the USB, then the very next thing would be the formatting step... not clicking or mounting
User18: usually, use unetbootin to put bootable isos on in. But was told unetbootin doesn't work with hybrids and used the dd if=isopath.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=M1 command
User18: since then this has become an issue
User23: User18 unet will work
User23: User18 its a hybrid iso
User18: what is a hybrid iso?
User23: User18 you can directly copy it over to a stick, and it'll "work"
User23: User18 you dd copy it over and its a live USB stick
User18: dd?
User23: its also still the type of iso that unet should work with
User18: what is the type of iso that unet should work with?
User23: User18 when you said "i used the dd if..." thats dd
User18: oh, the dd command ok
User23: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
User23: User18 the hybrid iso can be used directly copied over, in addition to the way it used to work.. burning it to CD.. using unet.. .whatever
User23: User18 if you want to use unet just as you always have, use it.. i do
User18: it doesn't work with all isos. Hybrid isos don't work with unetbootin I was told
User23: User18 you can try it.. it literally wont hurt, and its worked for me
User18: which is why i used the dd command and then it did work, but now experiencing issues with usb
User23: User18 i wasnt told that.. i just fired up unet and made a USB stick
User18: holstein, you're not listening
User23: User18 i am.. you "heard" the hybrid isos dont work with unet.. and i have used hybrid iso's both ways
User23: User18 if you are experiencing an issue using dd, just do it the way you are used to doing it
User18: it is my experience that this particular hybrid iso did not work with unetbootin, so, no need to keep encouraging me to go ahead. I already did and failed. When I was shown to use the dd command it worked. Great, just now I have usb issues, due to it going or what, I don't know
User23: User18 cool.. you can elaborate about your issues.. the one above looks like you are trying to access the disk with gparted while its "busy"
User23: i would expect it to work this way... you dd copy the iso to a clean USB stick, and reboot using it... what was the issue at that point?
User18: I've had a few iso not work with unetbootin so, now I have a conceptual background to understanding why that might be, coz I've just been using unetbootin all this time on all isos. Clearly, however, unetbootin doesn't work universally
User18: i would expect it to work this way... you dd copy the iso to a clean USB stick, and reboot using it... what was the issue at that point? No issue at this point the live usb worked
User23: User18 cool.. then where did the issue happen? after you tried to format it in gparted?
User18: you can elaborate about your issues.. the one above looks like you are trying to access the disk with gparted while its "busy" <-- after getting it to work and testing live-usb I try to dd another iso to the usb but its no longer working. I used gparted to delete and reformat the usb with the intention of trying it with unetbootin this time but that is when the issue arose of not being able to create a clean usb s
User18: tick
User23: User18 i would try from a clean insert like i had suggested.. and also, try the stick on other machines.. it could be that the USB is failing
User18: cool.. then where did the issue happen? after you tried to format it in gparted? <--- essentially, yes. After I was finished with the live-usb
User18: yea, already tried on both the laptop and Desktop, i.e. two machines with same frustration
User18: no point trying a command-line approach to deleting usb using 'rm' command or purge or something? if gparted isn't doing it then its not happening is it?
User23: User18 you can try it.. i would try, as i suggested, right when you plug the stick in.. not mounting or clicking
User23: User18 it literally wont hurt to try in the CLI, and you might see more helpful output
User18: can you please tell me how to do it in the command line?
User18: cd to /dev/sdc ?
User18: sudo rm contents?
User18: sudo rm -rf?
User23: User18 this is what i would reference... http://www.webupd8.org/2009/10/linux-format-your-usb-drive-via-command.html
User18: k, thx holstein
User24: Hi, i have a bug with my mouse in xubuntu when i move a window selecting the title bar
User23: User18 i woudnt bother rm'ing anything.. that could be the step that is hanging up on you
User23: User18 could be the stick is failing.. unet should have worked fine... there are no non-hybrid live isos AFAIK, so the ones unet downloads will be hybrid
User23: the fact that unet didnt work supports the theory that the stick is failing
User23: User24 whats the bug id?
User24: the window moves herself to the extremity of the screen
User18: well, that is the explanation I got for mageia not booting up in my live-usb created using Unetbootin
User23: User18 i do not use mageia.. maybe that iso doesnt work
User18: holstein, well, now you know of one hybrid iso that doesn't work using Unetbootin
User23: User18 in my searching, and actual findings "Hybrid ISOs are still compatible with Unetbootin"
User23: User18 either that one doesnt work, or it failed due to the stick failing
User18: holstein, had they [mageia crowd] told me it should have worked with Unetbootin I might have also begun thinking that the issue lies therefore with my usb stick
User23: User18 doesnt really matter.. you'll need to determine if your stick is failing, and try formatting it... good luck!
User24: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29970 this bug
User25: I get this issue in xubuntu, but not ubuntu: Every so often (maybe 1/4 of the time?), suspend no longer works - if I close my laptop lid (the only way I ever suspend), it doesn't do anything - *maybe* it logs me out, sometimes, which is also very annoying (I assume that it's X crashing). At that point, even clicking on the 'suspend' option in the menu doesn't do anything and my 'I'm suspending' light flashes but goes nowhere.
User23: User24 have you found of made an ubuntu bug?
User25: the weirdest thing to me is that this only happens when I'm using xubuntu-desktop, not ubuntu-desktop
User24: this bug exist on xubuntu, i use it
User23: User24 and you have filed or found the bug on launchpad?
User24: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1908474
User23: User24 im sure that would be helpful.. if you just wanted to get a proper report going and follow up on it
User23: User24 you could bring up that patch in the bugreport... have you tried the patch?
User24: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir2IDxFKBFA this bug in movie

User7: Launchpad bug 1001936 in xfwm4 (Ubuntu Quantal) "GTK3 Grab/Move Triggered on Mouse Click" [High,Fix released]
User23: User24 i would just upgrade and try using that patch, and follow up there on that report if it doesnt help resolve the issue for you
User23: User25 i would look at what powermanagment unity is using, and what XFCE is using.. i know you can use gnome services in XFCE, and im not sure how much of the same parts you will need that unity is using
User24: i need to patch source to fix this bug, not an easy solution
User26: hello, i've just installed xubuntu 12.04 and i chose to encrypt the home folder. when the installation was done, a notification(?) popped up, saying something about a passphrase, encryption, and the home folder. i ignored it at the time and i'm worried it's something important. i don't know where to find what it said again. any ideas?
User18: installed gnome-format but its not launching?
User18: I thought I made progress by deleting and reformatting usb, but now I'm getting error that usb is not mounted, even though Thunar said it was when I inserted the usb device - http://clip2net.com/s/2gIie
User23: User18 you can try launching from the terminal and see the error output
User18: launching how?
User23: it = gnome-format
User23: though, gparted is the tool i would use
User18: no, I just used gparted - its reformatted now
User23: User18 unet has requirements like that.. that the drive be mounted for the transfer
User26: i think it was one of those 'run this action now' windows
User18: I'm getting the its not mounted message from Unetbootin, although THunar has messaged that its mounted
User23: User18 i would just mount it again.. i sometimes physically pull the stick out, like i suggested earlier
User18: I've already pulled it out and reinserted it twice
User18: twiece thnar says its mounted; twice unetbootin says it can't see it
User23: User18 you should also consider that the drive could be failing.. if it were me, i would try the stick on a couple different machines, and i would try a few different sticks on that machine
User18: mount /dev/sdc is returning mount: can't find /dev/sdc in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
User23: User18 thats the kind of odd "behavior" i have seen with failing sticks
User18: yup, maybe its failing and Thunar reads it but Unetbootin doesn't
User23: if its failing, anything can read it, or lose it.. or drop it halfway through a transfer.. or dd would be alowed to bit copy to it
User18: would 'mount /dev/device' be the usual way to physically mount it using Terminal?
User23: User26 seems like that is the encryption passphrase entry, though i forget when that comes in the steps
User23: User26 if you are getting in, i would maybe just look around the wiki's and try and confirm the system is encrypted as you expect
User23: !mount
User7: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount
User26: User23 i think it might be that part where you enter your passphrase and you get back a long sequence of characters. the home folder is encrypted
User23: User26 might be.. you should be able to confirm that it is encrypted, and do it again if you choose
User26: User23 looking at the wiki, it might be the mount passphrase
User27: i am using 12.04 and when i log in i get a different window manager i dont get the usual stock Ubuntu GDM. I see something different. the default DM is still set to lightdm

User1: mips1911, reinstall the driver from jockey-gtk
User28: GridCube, Jockey does not see the new drivers, only the old ones in the official repos by the looks of things
User1: mmkay
User1: let me see
User1: mips1911, care to try a ppa?
User1: you can always remove it using ppa-purge later
User28: GridCube, I just installed from the X-Swat PPA. I have limited bandwidth available to me though so not so keen
User1: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/ubuntu-x-swat
User1: welp thats the one i was going to propose to you
User28: GridCube, thats where I install from
User1: you could try this one then: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/xorg-edgers
User28: no thanks, more bleeding and I need to conserve bandwidth this side
User1: you could try to get the specific glx package then?
User28: I would if I knew which one it was
User1: search glx on synaptic and you get a bunch of them
User28: I tried that but can't see what I'm missing
User1: mips1911, i know this might sound silly, but have you tried rebooting?
User28: Not having much luck on the forums either. usually when I post somehting I never get a response
User28: GridCube, yes. I'm getting tired of my plymouth splash :)
User1: :P
User1: mips1911, try this, uninstall the nvidia drivers, reboot to generic drivers, reboot again and install nvidias, and reboot
User28: GridCube, ok, I'll try that quickly. be back shortly
User1: my logic here is this, rebooting using the generic drivers will save generic states to the system somewhere, and then magic will happen
User28: busy uninstalling via synaptic. My apt is also borked somehow, when I try install via apt-get it cannot find any packages but synaptic works fine though. Oh well 12.10 will be here soon...
User28: oh bollocks, i just uninstalled apt, now i can't reinstall it.
User1: D:
User1: what?!
User1: how would you go and do that?
User28: apt is a core component
User28: oh god, my entire apt cache is also gone.
User1: D:
User28: rebooting now would be total suicide. let me backup whatever I can, reinstall 12.10 from a minimal cd and start from scratch.
User28: Lol, at least my GLX issues are no more :D
User1: dont
User28: dont what?
User1: dont reboot
User1: let me find out how to restore your apt-get
User28: trust me, I have no intention of rebooting
User28: GridCube, I don't think restoring apt is gonna help me much as it removed ubuntu-minimal and the entire package cache is gone so it will have to pull all those packages from the repos again as they were deleted. Not feeling like doing data recovery.
User1: mips1911, you can download apt from here http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/apt
User1: use dpkg to install it
User1: oh, well, :/

User31: i know with debian you can just pass desktop=FOO to the installer ...
User32: Are you using the mini-iso?
User32: I think sudo tasksel might help you get Xubuntu
User32: Or maybe sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
User17: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop is the recommended way from the mini.iso.
User31: User32 no, full on network boot
User31: anyone know how to network install xubuntu? i've already got standard ubuntu network installs set up, but i don't immediately see what to configure to tell it to install xubuntu ...https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet
User31: oops
User31: the url
User31: need something that works with preseeding...
User32: I don't have any experience with a full on network boot
User31: i guess i can just preseed: tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, xubuntu-desktop
User17: I've setup PXE before, wasn't as easy with *ubuntu as others.
User31: i know how to set up PXE, i just need to know what's different between standard ubuntu and xubuntu
User31: how does the installer know the difference?
User31: in an automated way...
 * vagrantc tries preseeding
User17: That page linked to http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/example-preseed.txt, and close to the bottom you have ### Package selection   and that uses tasksel.
User17: xubuntu-desktop is of course the name of the installed system, and xubuntu-live for liveCD.
User31: yeah, that's what i'll try
User31: thanks folks
User17: Sorry I couldn't help more.
User31: hopefully it's as simple  as that :)
User28: vagrantc I'm busy with that at the moment. My net install bomb towards the end though so I'm gonna try chrooting to fix it. If you use the net installer you have to select a command-line system and then you have to install xubuntu-desktop after the base install has completed
User31: that's... unfortunate
User28: what?
User31: i need an automated install process, and it's unfortunate that that sounds so badly broken :(
User28: i'm sure there is a way to do it with a script or something like netboot etc but that goes beyond what I know
User33: does anyone here know why my aspire 5536 with xubuntu 12.04 keeps having the fans always on?? cpu and ram seems ok
User5: my fan is always on too
User33: i dont think it's normal, i have never had with the 10.4
User23: User33 i would look at the graphics driver
User33: User23 i have a well known bug with the proprietary drive (i am on ubuntu 12.04) so i had to use the opensource ones
User33: but with both the fans are always on
User23: User33 i have a via chip thats like that
User33: this 12.04 seems good but untill i fix this problem it's a problem using it, i dont want to fry my pc
User23: nah.. you wont "fry" it.. try the vesa driver
User31: so network install of xubuntu by just preseeding tasksel to install xubuntu-desktop instead of ubuntu-desktop basically worked
User31: although the installer doesn't support non-pae systems...
