User1: i suggest reinstaling xubuntu and make sure you follow steps correctly
User1: are you installing on a different partition?
User2: User3 How new a computer?  UEFI?
User1: on my experience i havent have problems with uefi always you install first windows and then xubuntu or ubuntu on a different partition
User3: yeah i installed it to another partition, actually what i did was install it to a 2nd hard disk which has music and games on it from my windows installation, and its now missing in windows..that wasn't what i wanted to happen...
User3: can i save it?
User3: or did i just erase it? :(
User1: u cant install xubuntu on a ntfs partition
User3: it was unknown it said
User1: i belive you parted you second harddrive to have a partition with your windows data (nfts) and then a second partition for xubuntu (ext4)
User3: oh
User3: i don't see my 2nd hard drive right now, only the main one
User3: and that concerns me
User3: because i have steam games and stuff on that one
User1: puff, overheated my laptop with flash player to the point it crashed
User1: Â·$Â·$%Â·$%Â· flash on linux
User1: so i guess no solution for flash player?
User1: it will be a pitty to have to go back to xp just coz flash player is not well supported in linux
User1: there are billions of devices running flash player games correctly
User4: so use one of them
User1: i though linux was the best OS
User1: i will have to go back to windows
User1: by device runs perfectly flash player with other os but linux
User1: my*
User4: If flash games are your primary concern, then yes, I'd go back to windows.
User1: is coz my syster
User1: is here primary concern
User1: her*
User1: i cant get here use linux if there is not a solution with flash player
User1: she only use the laptop to play those stupid "farm ville" like games
 * drc remembers having problems with flash and the last Summer Olympics live streams...overheating...confirmed my "I don't give a **** about flash" attitude :)
User1: i had an i5 wich i could run those game perfectly under my ubuntu, but i just broke it, so im trying to use my sister laptop but i cant work anymore with windows, so meanwhile i get another laptop i wanted to have xubuntu on my syster laptop
User1: if being trying to get her to use linux many years but i always came to same problem, i dont understand how such a big linux community havent found the solution allready
User1: they can decode any software and crack it and copy it but they cant with flash player, i really dont understand it
User4: User1 I'd hazard a guess that linux devs don't really care about Faceboot/Flash games, or they would have already.
User4: Of course <you> are more than welcome to sit down and spend <your> time doing it.
User1: yes i belive so, nevertheless during all this years i have read many tries, even flash alternatives, so i thing or the buildiers of the alternatives have got much money from adobe to stop building competence or they may have being harrased to stop trying to build a software wich can do the same thing on linux that a patented protected software does
User5: Hello - Is anybody here ?
User1: i am
User6: Hello - I am new to linux - I have been trying for five days to get xubunto to install from usb onto another usb - It installs but does not boot from the install
User6: My motherboard is a Gigabyte H87 HD3 with Radeon R9 graphics
User6: Any insight would be appreciated
User7: Is there some way to purge Xubuntu's package system? I can't seem to update it, fetch new packages etc.
User8: what error are you getting?
User7: "Reading package lists... Error!"
User8: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
User8: then sudo apt-get update
User9: Just moved from Ubuntu to Xubuntu - loving the speed. Gradients appear banded though, I think it's an issue with the color depth. Is this a common bug? Graphics chip is embedded Intel 82865G
User10: everywhere or just with the default wallpapers? because those suck
User11: sixdegrees, if ubuntu rendered properly then I'd guess it's not your chip.  you seem to have a different gpu driver with xubuntu?
User2: User9 Different version of Ubuntu?  xdpyinfo | grep root
User2: User10 They may not fit your needs, but they don't blend badly.
User9: thx all. It is a different version, I was on ubuntu 12.04, now xubuntu 13.10
User9: root window id:    0x63  depth of root window:    15 planes
User2: User9 Yeeep, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1173649
User9: it's not just on the wallpapers, gimp and photos too
User12: Ubuntu bug 1173649 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "incorrect color depth - intel graphics card" [Undecided,Opinion]
User2: It's a driver "feature", I had it and fixed that.
User9: ah, great feature :) thanks. did you fix it by making an xorg.conf file?
User2: Yep, but with different content.
User2: Oh, nope.  Looked again, we came out the same.
User9: User2 User12 I applied the fix at #51 in the bug (1173649) and all is well. Sure seems like a bug to me.
User2: Mhmm.
User9: Thanks heaps for your help
User2: Sure.
User2: Something else newer, you're using SNA now which is noticably faster.
User9: User2 interesting
User13: Hello
User13: where is the equivalent of the DIR_COLORS file in *buntu?
User8: delt,  LS_COLORS ?
User13: User8 nope, cant find it
User13: oh great. even the manpage for dircolors doesn't say where the default is :/
User13: [pts/0][user@laptop]:/etc/profile.d$ grep -i dircolors *
User13: [pts/0][user@laptop]:/etc/profile.d$
User13: :(
User13: "find" is only finding stuff on my slackware partition...... i could hack up something using /etc/profile but i want to know the "proper" way to do it
User8: im seeing you can mess with it in the .bashrc file in your home dir
User8: around line 75

User18: hi, anyone knows something about Linux for NSC Geode GX1-S (300Mhz)? I'm looking for a non-gui build...
User19: HELP please!  This AM burned a good copy of ubuntu  and had the partitions perfect with the help of my winbox7 and I restarted and clicked on the ubuntu partition and it went to loading on the desktop with it's purple background and 4 or 5 little red dots going back and forth and then nothing happened.  It w ouldjust bounce between the black and the purple with the cursor arrrow.
User19: Why did it not open up is my ?.
User20: wsuuup
User20: I am a noob
User20: will this version work with crossover linux?
User20: so I can have internet explorer and such
User10: =D
User20: ?
User20: anyone?
User20: ?
User20: ?
User19: must be at a 'dev' meeting, no one to help atm, that's cool.
User21: User20 a current version of crossover should work fine with xubuntu, if you're worried you can try it on a live session
User22: Hi, all! Is anyone an expert with private key management in Xubuntu?
User21: User19 this channel is for xubuntu, our startup screen is blue :) I think you want #ubuntu for help with purple
User19: I know pleia2, realized afterwards
User19: but thank you for getting back to me on that
User19: thought they were almost the same but I guess not
User19: oh btw pleia2 my xubuntu is working perfect on my VirtualBox.
User23: Hi, I am sorry for asking...  I cannot set higher  resolution on an external monitor than my laptop is. Is there any way around ?
User24: I just installed Xubuntu and can't get USB drives work at the moment.
User24: Answers on both Ask Ubuntu and Ubuntu Forums didn't really help.
User24: gvfs-mount --list shows devices, but none of them gets mounted automatically.
User25: what filesystem are the drives formatted to?
User24: Let me find out.
User24: User25 GParted says it doesn't know.
User24: I dd'ed the drive to Xubuntu's ISO actually.
User25: okay, create new partition table to that drive with gparted and then add fat32 or ntfs partition, it sholud work after replugging
User24: User25 That's not the only device that doesn't work though.
User25: well, how are they formatted? do they mount at all with file manager or just not automatically?
User25: also, are they usb3 ones and what version of xubuntu are you running?
User24: User25 It actually can read NTFS.
User24: The main issue that I have is that Xubuntu doesn't mount the partiton of my USB modem which has the drivers for the modem.
User24: That thing is read only so formatting would obviously not work.
User26: hello all. i bought a new display to attach to my laptop. i would like to have the laptop on the left and the new monitor on the right. I'd also like the new monitor is the primary monitor.
User24: Also, a friend of mine will be use the PC and I don't want him to deal with command line stuff.
User25: User24 there probaly is a better way to get the driver if it doesn't work by default
User25: usually they contain just windows drivers
User25: did you try just connecting with the networking applet, you might need to manually create new mobile broadband connection in settings
User26: if i set the new monitor at the right of the laptop's one, the upper xfce panel is left on the laptop monitor while the side one appears on the new display.
User26: can you help me?
User24: User25 Linux drivers are there, I am sure. (Although it says it needs Qt3 as dependency but I'll deal with it later)
User25: User26 unlock panels in their settings and drag to desired screen
User24: User25 I was able to mount the USB stick after formatting, thanks for that one.
User25: User24 actually modems usually work OOTB if you can actually get system to see them as a modem and not storage device
User25: they use standard protocol, usually problem is that they appear as cd or memsting and not modem
User24: User25 Connecting the device using the applet also worked.
User25: I have a good wibe today
User24: One last thing, wlan0 doesn't work because it is "hardware locked"
User26: User25 ok, but it seems always being not primary, because the icons are left on the laptop monitor. any idea?
User24: rfkill unblock didn't help.
User27: utku, look for a hardware switch
User24: User27 The device doesn't have one.
User25: check from bios
User27: utku, might also be a setting in the bios
User28: hi
