| effie_jayx | anyone using xubuntu hardy? is it just me or the panels are now grey...? | 00:36 |

| narothepharoh | I am running xubuntu 7.10 dont have any sound | 00:39 |
| ere4si | !sound | narothepharoh | 00:40 |
| ubotu | narothepharoh: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 00:40 |
| narothepharoh | there is no volume control | 00:41 |
| ere4si | in a terminal type alsamixer and see if the controls are turned up | 00:42 |
| narothepharoh | ere4si: all are turned up except some are muted how do i unmute? | 00:51 |
| ere4si | narothepharoh, the right/left arrow selects up/down arows to change | 00:53 |
| siggjen | try man alsamixer, or just type m on the control | 00:53 |
| narothepharoh | this isnt working either all are unmuted but still no sound | 00:56 |
| ere4si | narothepharoh, at the top of alsamixer you're device should be listed - what is it? | 00:57 |

| ere4si | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundcardsWithHardwareSynth - narothepharoh | 01:00 |
| ere4si | narothepharoh, seems the "audigy analog/digital output jack" was on by default so had to uncheck it - was another solution I found | 01:04 |
| sleek | every time i try booting from teh xubuntu cd, i get the menu to "start and install", which i choose... then i see the boot screen for Xubuntu with a progress bar, but it always stops right before it gets to the end... any way to see where this is failing? | 01:25 |
| keb | sleek : try Alt-F2 to switch to the message output console | 01:30 |
| sleek | keb: ok, i'll do that | 01:31 |
| sleek | thanks | 01:31 |
| babalas | can someone tell me how to install themes | 01:55 |
| j1mc | hi babalas | 01:57 |
| j1mc | yes, i can | 01:57 |
| keb | or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227416&highlight=xfce+theme | 01:57 |
| j1mc | do you want your themes to be available to all users, or just yourself? | 01:57 |
| keb | but that looks a bit old | 01:57 |
| babalas | just myself please | 01:57 |
| j1mc | http://doc.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/desktop-themes.html | 01:58 |
| j1mc | that is the draft xubuntu 8.04 documentation | 01:58 |
| babalas | thanks for that link | 01:59 |
| babalas | that's what I needed | 01:59 |
| j1mc | yw. that document will be included by default in the xubuntu 8.04 docs. | 02:00 |
| j1mc | if it's confusing in any way, please let me know | 02:00 |
| babalas | thanks again for that help | 02:12 |
| Gamaliel | aqui no se mueve nada | 02:37 |
| keb | no comprendo | 02:38 |
| Gamaliel | jajaja | 02:40 |
| nathan42100 | so I just deleted some things with the delete key on the keyboard and they aren't in the trash... | 02:45 |
| GEIS | other than ssh how can i control xubuntu with gui? | 02:47 |
| j1mc | GEIS: do you mean without a gui? | 03:08 |
| Stroganoff | GEIS wants to run mldonkey on his new server | 03:09 |
| Stroganoff | but he refuses advice | 03:09 |
| Stroganoff | someone should point him to an commandline tutorial and a good administrative web interface if there is such | 03:10 |
| keb | there is also vnc | 03:16 |
| j1mc | keb: right. :) hardy will have an improved vnc client, too | 03:17 |
| j1mc | gotta run, all. have a good night. | 03:18 |
| keb | cool | 03:18 |
| keb | ni | 03:18 |
| surfacecore | hi | 05:09 |
| surfacecore | I installed xubuntu in a 128mb ram, 1.70mhz celeron machine and it runs really slow, is there a way I can lighten xubuntu a bit? or do I install something else such as DSL or puppy? | 05:11 |
| surfacecore | anybody? | 05:12 |
| ere4si | 128mb should be ok - not great but ok | 05:13 |
| surfacecore | is really slow | 05:15 |
| surfacecore | it takes a min to open up firefox | 05:15 |
| surfacecore | and the OS without any use feels really slow | 05:16 |
| ere4si | can you open a terminal and type free and paste it - it will show the system mem and how it is used | 05:17 |
| surfacecore | i think is too slow | 05:26 |
| surfacecore | im going to puppy linux | 05:27 |
| surfacecore | most of the mem goes to services i dont use | 05:27 |
| surfacecore | i will install puppy and upgrade the kernel | 05:27 |
| surfacecore | or maybe start up with debian and start building my os from there | 05:28 |
| ere4si | there is an app in synaptic - sysv-rc-conf - that will let you turn off services you don't want - just be careful with it | 05:31 |
| ere4si | puppy is good but limited in the apps it has available | 05:32 |
| surfacecore | i know that is why i think in building my own debian | 05:32 |
| ere4si | I use an ubuntu server install with fluxbox as the window manager on a 128mb mem sys and it is pretty good for its' age :) | 05:33 |
| surfacecore | yea fluxbox is lighter, xfce is too heavy | 05:35 |
| surfacecore | the computer is not for me but it needs to run smoothly | 05:35 |
| ere4si | and with the server install less services are running | 05:35 |
| surfacecore | fluxbox or enlighment would probably run just fine | 05:36 |
| ere4si | yep | 05:36 |
| ere4si | and only install the apps you need | 05:36 |
| surfacecore | yea and a lighter browser | 05:39 |
| surfacecore | do you know of any good and light browser? | 05:40 |
| ere4si | epiphany gets recommended for that | 05:40 |
| surfacecore | yea but its on gnome so gnome libs would have to be running too, that would suck up my mem | 05:42 |
| ere4si | dillo is good - old but good | 05:43 |

| narothepharoh | I am running xubuntu 7.10 dont have any sound | 13:33 |
| TheSheep | narothepharoh: how did you check? | 13:33 |
| narothepharoh | TheSheep: I have no volume control and i have tried to play songs and nothing | 13:42 |
| narothepharoh | it has worked with ubuntu just fine | 13:43 |
| TheSheep | narothepharoh: you need to add volume control to the panle yourself | 13:44 |
| TheSheep | narothepharoh: and to play mp3 you need to install additional packages | 13:44 |
| TheSheep | !mp3 | narothepharoh | 13:44 |
| ubotu | narothepharoh: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 13:44 |
| narothepharoh | TheSheep: I have installed all that it works just no sound. How do I ADD TO THE PANEL? | 13:45 |
| TheSheep | narothepharoh: right-click on the panel, select 'add new item', select 'volume control' from the list | 13:46 |
| narothepharoh | The Sheep: that is not working | 13:47 |
| TheSheep | narothepharoh: which step exactly? | 13:47 |
| narothepharoh | TheSheep: The volume control | 13:48 |
| narothepharoh | I right click go to add and it doesnt put it there | 13:49 |
| TheSheep | hmm... there was a bug about it... go to 'keyboard settings', go to 'bindings' tab and remove the two 'aumix' bindings | 13:50 |
| TheSheep | then it should be working | 13:50 |
| TheSheep | you can also run 'alsamixer' in a terminal to get an advanced volume control | 13:50 |
| narothepharoh | there is no bindings tab in my keyboard preferences | 13:51 |
| TheSheep | narothepharoh: I don't have an english version handy, don't remember the exact name, second tab from the left | 13:51 |
| narothepharoh | TheSheep: it wont let me click on anything there | 13:53 |
| TheSheep | narothepharoh: add a new profile on the left | 13:53 |
| TheSheep | narothepharoh: there hsould be a "+" button there | 13:53 |
| TheSheep | narothepharoh: the name doesn't matter | 13:53 |
| narothepharoh | there are 3 aumix bindings. remove all? | 13:54 |
| TheSheep | narothepharoh: yes | 13:55 |
| TheSheep | narothepharoh: the volume control plugin handles them now | 13:55 |
| narothepharoh | TheSheep: I was able to get volume control after that then turned the switch off for the digital output jack and it works. Thanks man I appreciate it. | 13:57 |
| TheSheep | narothepharoh: great | 13:59 |
| narothepharoh | I dealt with this before and noone could help so i installed a different os | 14:00 |
| TheSheep | narothepharoh: any solution is good, as long as it gives the desired results | 14:03 |
| Annirak | The machine which I was running my mysqld had its chipset die. Now I'm getting the message that mysql can't bind to port 3306. What can I do to fix it? | 15:24 |
| TheSheep | Annirak: check what other thing is using that port | 15:26 |
| Annirak | How? | 15:26 |
| TheSheep | Annirak: using netstat | 15:28 |
| Annirak | TheSheep: I can bind the port in python | 15:32 |
| zoredache | so a 'netstat -ntlp' doesn't show anything listening on 3306? | 15:38 |
| ant0n | Hi ! Anyone as can tell me how to install new themes in xubuntu xfce ? | 15:47 |
| TheSheep | ant0n: sure, just unpack them to the .themes directory in your home directory | 15:48 |
| ant0n | Ok, and it should work then ? :) | 15:48 |
| TheSheep | ant0n: yes, they should then appear in the theme selection menu | 15:49 |
| ant0n | I can't find .themes under /home/ant0n I can see "hidden files". | 15:51 |
| siggjen | mkdir /home/ant0n/.themes | 15:53 |
| ant0n | Ok! | 15:54 |
| ant0n | Just go to home/ant0n and create a new dir? | 15:54 |
| siggjen | yes | 15:54 |
| siggjen | or just paste my line into run command or terminal | 15:54 |
| ant0n | Ok, I did it in the terminal | 15:55 |
| ant0n | I'cant find my theme as I extracted to .themes in my theme chooser. | 15:59 |
| TheSheep | ant0n: is it a gtk theme or an xfce theme? | 16:01 |
| ant0n | xfce theme | 16:03 |
| TheSheep | ant0n: then it will be listed in the window manager settings | 16:08 |
| ant0n | I've got something named emerald theme manager, should i look in that prg ? | 16:09 |
| TheSheep | ant0n: that's for emnerald themes, for compiz | 16:11 |
| TheSheep | ant0n: it has separate themes | 16:11 |
| ant0n | Ah, and copmiz don't work for me. | 16:11 |
| ant0n | I've swedish language, so how to find window manager settingd? | 16:12 |
| ant0n | s | 16:12 |
| TheSheep | it's in settings, it has an icon with two windows | 16:13 |
| ant0n | I found it I think | 16:14 |
| ant0n | Yep i found it and it's working, thanks :) | 16:14 |
| ant0n | Is there anything I can do to get my panel look like the "dock" in osx? | 16:15 |
| ant0n | Without using compiz, bcs I've VIA Unichrome grpcard and it's not supported. | 16:17 |
| TheSheep | ant0n: there is this 'awn' thing | 16:18 |
| TheSheep | ant0n: it works with xfce if you have compositing enabled | 16:18 |
| ant0n | compositing, what is that, and can I find that awn thing in synaptic? | 16:19 |
| prc320 | How do I share with ubuntu 7.10 and xubuntu? | 16:19 |
| siggjen | prc320: what do you want to share? | 16:20 |
| prc320 | siggjen some files | 16:20 |
| siggjen | with me? | 16:21 |
| prc320 | no, ooo files | 16:21 |
| siggjen | please tell more about that sharing | 16:22 |
| siggjen | i prefer using nfs between my Linux machines | 16:22 |
| siggjen | samba is more useful to windows machines | 16:22 |
| siggjen | ftp can be used everywhere | 16:23 |
| siggjen | lots of people prefer to share trough some kind of p2p network | 16:23 |
| prc320 | I am in xubuntu and I want to share a file on ubuntu | 16:23 |
| siggjen | the easiest would be to set up nfs then i guess | 16:23 |
| prc320 | then what? | 16:24 |
| siggjen | ask google about sharing files via nfs | 16:24 |
| zoredache | actually it might be even easier (and a whole lot more secure) to use ssh for sharing files | 16:24 |
| prc320 | ok siggjen | 16:25 |
| zoredache | all you have to do is install openssh-server on one side, and use sshfs on the other | 16:25 |
| prc320 | zoredache how do you do that? | 16:26 |
| siggjen | zoredache: true, scp is a nice option, but on local networks i think nfs is better | 16:26 |
| reaper21 | I have a quick question if you don't mind me asking | 16:48 |
| zoredache | just ask, you dont' have to ask to ask | 16:48 |
| reaper21 | I installed Xubuntu 7.10 and for some reason it never loads the desktop. I edited the Xorg and tried loading the vesa driver still no luck. How can I fix it | 16:49 |
| zoredache | what do you mean by it won't load the desktop. Do you mean the xorg never start at all and you get a command line only? | 16:51 |
| julian_ | question: im trying to compile my own kernel and when i use in the kernel config under Processor family: > 3. 586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX (M586) what do i have to set while compiling it? the --arch config set to make-kpkg ??? | 16:58 |
| julian_ | cause i get errors while compiling | 16:58 |
| zoredache | you shouldn't have to set --arch at all | 16:59 |
| reaper21 | zoredache: It will load xorg, but leaves me xterm | 16:59 |
| julian_ | i didnt set it, but i get errors | 17:01 |
| julian_ | so i thought there might be the error | 17:01 |
| zoredache | reaper21: that sounds like you are getting a 'failsafe session'. Are you trying to manually start xorg? You might try stopping it, and then using 'startxfce4' and see if you get a desktop correctly | 17:02 |
| zoredache | julian_: may I ask, why are you trying to build your own kernel? And what version are you trying to build? | 17:03 |
| julian_ | i installed build-essential and linux-headers also the linux-source .. then i unpacked the source and copied the config-<uname -r> from /boot/ to the source folder opened it didnt touch it saved and tried to compile | 17:03 |
| zoredache | when you copied the config file you copied it to '.config'? | 17:04 |
| julian_ | zoredache, sure you may ask :) .. i need oss build in the kernel instead of alsa for a soundtool which i need. and im trying to build 2.6.22 | 17:04 |
| julian_ | zoredach yeah i copied: sudo cp /boot/config-<uname -r> .config (while i was in the source folder) | 17:05 |
| zoredache | what was the error you got? | 17:06 |
| zoredache | pastebin it, if it long | 17:06 |
| julian_ | the error changes everytime | 17:06 |
| julian_ | without changing the conf | 17:06 |
| julian_ | http://pastebin.com/m66510022 is one of them | 17:06 |
| julian_ | at the moment im compiling again and saving everything into a log | 17:07 |
| julian_ | i compile with the command: sudo make-kpkg --initrd --revision test1 binary just for information | 17:07 |
| zoredache | instead of binary I would have used 'kernel_image kernel_headers' | 17:09 |
| zoredache | but I doubt that is your problem | 17:09 |
| julian_ | i tried kernel_image, but after 10 rows or something it said: nothing to do | 17:09 |
| zoredache | are you using a 'make-kpkg clean' before you try to compile it each time? | 17:11 |
| julian_ | yes | 17:11 |
| julian_ | and its a very fresh install of xubuntu | 17:11 |
| julian_ | i just installed xchat nothing else | 17:11 |
| zoredache | and you are getting a different error each time... That is very unusual | 17:11 |
| julian_ | the rest is normal isntallation of the xubuntu live cd | 17:12 |
| julian_ | yeah | 17:12 |
| julian_ | sometimes at the net/atl | 17:12 |
| julian_ | sometimes i stops @ bitmap.o | 17:12 |
| zoredache | the last time I saw something like that, it turned out to be a half-failed stick of RAM | 17:12 |
| julian_ | i tried that also | 17:12 |
| julian_ | i used ram test xubuntu | 17:12 |
| julian_ | didnt fail at all | 17:12 |
| zoredache | julian_: well it seems like you have tried all the obvious things... Which means you are past the point I can help... You might also try asking in #ubuntu or some of the other more generic channels. | 17:18 |
| julian_ | zoredache, i asked there before and didnt get an answer at all ;/ | 17:19 |
| julian_ | maybe you can have a little little look at the log ;) | 17:20 |
| zoredache | do you have another computer with ubuntu or debian on it? You could try compiling from another machine | 17:20 |
| julian_ | i have another one yeah i installed ubuntu on it will try it later | 17:21 |
| julian_ | what to compare then? | 17:21 |
| zoredache | sorry? | 17:21 |
| zoredache | anyway feel free to post your logfile. I don't know how much I can help though... It is made difficult because you seem to be using a language I don't speak on your system | 17:23 |
| julian_ | yeah its german ;/ | 17:23 |
| julian_ | a friend of mine told me not to just copy the old conf | 17:27 |
| julian_ | i should use make oldconfig instead | 17:27 |
| julian_ | there is a huge difference between it | 17:27 |
| julian_ | i hate it it seems that this time (although i didnt expect it at all) is going to compile completely | 17:29 |
| julian_ | without doing anything different as before | 17:29 |
| julian_ | oh no | 17:34 |
| julian_ | this time it had problems with sound | 17:34 |
| slow-motion | hi | 19:04 |
| tech404 | After installing the nvidia driver my resolution settings are to low. I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and that didn't work and some googleing didnt bring up anything. The settings manager wont let me pick anything over 800x600 | 19:10 |
| tech404 | I am using the hardy beta | 19:10 |
| siggjen | tech404: try sudo nvidia-settings | 19:10 |
| tech404 | it wasn't installed... after installing it told me that it didn't look like I was using the nvidia driver... could this be because I am using the legacy driver? | 19:14 |
| tech404 | i double checked and I am using the nvidia driver | 19:14 |
| tech404 | Xorg.0.log says "(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (hsync out of range)" but it is fine for the monitor and was working before I installed the nvidia driver | 19:17 |
| siggjen | maybe you can get it to search for monitor? | 19:19 |
| tech404 | I am unsure on how that would be done.... dpkg-reconfigure doesn't ask many questions anymore and that would have been my first guess | 19:23 |
| zoke | would xubuntu run on a P1 ? | 19:23 |

| fortyforty | Im trying to dual boot xubuntu on an older computer and after i hit "start/install xubuntu" it goes to the loading screen and then dies, it gets all pixelated and just stays taht way, any ideas on whats going on? | 22:17 |
| zoredache | are you using the livecd, or the alternate image? | 22:19 |
| fortyforty | livecd | 22:19 |
| fortyforty | the newest version | 22:19 |
| zoredache | It probably doesn't like your video card or something like that | 22:19 |
| zoredache | the alternete installer cd tends to be a lot better about working with stubborn hardware | 22:20 |
| fortyforty | okay, so give that one a try? | 22:20 |
| fortyforty | ill give it try, thank you for your help. im pretty new at linux | 22:22 |
| wubrgamer | is xubuntu losing its status as an officially supported desktop ? | 22:32 |
| wubrgamer | it's in universe for hardy ? why ? | 22:33 |
| ere4si | afaik xubuntu has never been officially supported - it's community based | 22:34 |
| maxamillion | wubrgamer: its not officially supported by canonical as ubuntu is, but it is an officially recognized child distro | 22:36 |
