| RollingD34th | ok, been going all over the place for the past hour trying to get my sound card to work | 03:08 |
| RollingD34th | sound blaster pro, didn't have net when i did the xubuntu install | 03:08 |
| RollingD34th | is there anyone in here? | 03:25 |
| favro | . | 03:25 |
| RollingD34th | any idea how to install sound cards? | 03:26 |
| favro | if you install and reboot it should be shown in lspci - then right click your volume control and select the new card - generally is the way | 03:27 |
| RollingD34th | lspci doen't show it | 03:28 |
| RollingD34th | i have no volume control to right click on | 03:29 |
| favro | do you no what model card it is? | 03:29 |
| RollingD34th | i'm preety sure it's a soundplaster pro | 03:30 |
| RollingD34th | either that or a sound blaster 16 | 03:30 |
| favro | if you right click the panel you can add a vol control | 03:31 |
| RollingD34th | trying that | 03:31 |
| favro | do you have onboard sound? | 03:33 |
| RollingD34th | i gives me the button on the task panel, but i can;t click on volume control when i right click, it's greyed out | 03:33 |
| RollingD34th | yes i do | 03:33 |
| favro | try lspci | grep audio to see what the system sees | 03:34 |
| RollingD34th | i get nothing | 03:35 |
| favro | try sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart | 03:36 |
| favro | lspci | grep audio | 03:37 |
| RollingD34th | i don't have a dir "alsa | 03:37 |
| RollingD34th | i do have alsa utils tho | 03:37 |
| RollingD34th | asla-utlis* | 03:38 |
| RollingD34th | utils( | 03:38 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Hey Favro | 03:38 |
| favro | hi! | 03:38 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | I need ur help again | 03:38 |
| favro | RollingD34th: what does ls /etc/ini.d | grep alsa say | 03:39 |
| favro | shoot | 03:39 |
| RollingD34th | used /ect/init.d/asla-utils restart then lspci | grep audio | 03:39 |
| RollingD34th | got nothing | 03:39 |
| RollingD34th | i'll try that | 03:39 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | So I ran that memtest last night all night and my computer passed all the tests. | 03:39 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: did you try the other vid card? | 03:40 |
| RollingD34th | i get /etc/ini.d: no such file ot directory | 03:40 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Ya, and I still can't seem to boot up right but I just booted up with recovery kernal and I noticed that the only thing linux doesnt want to load is my hardware drivers....it cant seem to do it.... | 03:41 |
| RollingD34th | forgot the "ls" | 03:42 |
| RollingD34th | i get nothing with that either | 03:42 |
| favro | RollingD34th: you can copy and paste by highlighting the text in chat then middle clicking in terminal - saves spelling mistakes :) | 03:42 |
| RollingD34th | working on two comps | 03:42 |
| favro | k | 03:42 |
| RollingD34th | the linux one has 100meg of ram and is too slow trying to diag and chat | 03:42 |
| favro | hehe | 03:42 |
| RollingD34th | i double check everything, i just didn't see the "ls" when i looked | 03:43 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: did you use the acpi=force command at grub? | 03:43 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Favro: is there any way to figure out what the kernal is not wanting to load when it loads the hardware drivers? | 03:43 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | no | 03:43 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | I will | 03:43 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: you need to remember | 03:43 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | So at Grub bootup I press e then select kernal then e again? | 03:45 |
| favro | yep | 03:45 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | sweet | 03:46 |
| favro | RollingD34th: any luck? | 03:46 |
| RollingD34th | nope | 03:46 |
| RollingD34th | i get nothing | 03:46 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: we can make it so you don't have to do that every boot | 03:46 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | really | 03:46 |
| favro | RollingD34th: can you install from the net on that comp? | 03:47 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: yep | 03:47 |
| RollingD34th | yeah | 03:47 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | well I already added the parameter acpi=force to the kernal, so now do I press enter? | 03:47 |
| favro | RollingD34th: sudo apt-get install alsa | 03:47 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: enter then b | 03:47 |
| RollingD34th | alsa-base is already the newest version | 03:48 |
| favro | RollingD34th: funny you have no cards showing then - the soundblasters should be supported by default | 03:49 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | ok, so now its loading with the Ubuntu loading screen gui....I and suprizingly it ran through that like bread and butter! | 03:49 |
| RollingD34th | i dunno, it worked under winblows ME | 03:49 |
| favro | RollingD34th: can you disable the onboard in bios? | 03:49 |
| RollingD34th | yeah, but it | 03:50 |
| RollingD34th | it's enabled | 03:50 |
| favro | disable the onboard in bios? | 03:50 |
| RollingD34th | i can, do you want me to? | 03:50 |
| favro | RollingD34th: yep - it's not happening as it is | 03:50 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Favro: it ran through the gui but after the loading screen loads up all the way, I get a blank screen and it seems like my computer is not loading anything... | 03:50 |
| * RollingD34th reboots, this may take a while | 03:51 | |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: is that with other vid card? | 03:51 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | ya.... | 03:51 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | but at least it runs way faster | 03:51 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | it ran through that loader really fast | 03:51 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Favro: do I need to run xconfigure again? | 03:52 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | It seems, yet again I'm having a problem with the videocard -- linux seems to not be able to detect it | 03:52 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | I'll try another video card | 03:53 |
| RollingD34th | ok, disabled via bios, now starting up | 03:53 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: if you put in a new card the config file will be wrong for it | 03:53 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | thats tru | 03:54 |
| favro | so yo will have to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again | 03:54 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | awwww....damn | 03:54 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: it's not hard :) | 03:55 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Favro: would a sis 6326 vid card work do ya think ? :) | 03:55 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: sis will work but not well - not good linux support for them - didn't you have a nvidia there doing nothing? | 03:56 |
| RollingD34th | ok, logged in, waiting to load | 03:57 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Let me find my vid cards....I have a lot of old ones.... | 03:57 |

| favro | RollingD34th: all good then ? | 03:58 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Favro: How bout a VOODOO videocard? | 03:59 |
| RollingD34th | no, the pc speaker only beeps | 03:59 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: you have to use a diff kernel for them - they are old | 03:59 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | ok how bout a trident..... | 03:59 |
| favro | RollingD34th: try right click vol control | 03:59 |
| RollingD34th | i did, Volume control is still greyed out | 04:00 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: might be the same - I'll have a quick check | 04:00 |
| favro | RollingD34th: try the lspci | grep audio again | 04:01 |
| RollingD34th | ok | 04:02 |
| RollingD34th | still does nothing | 04:02 |
| RollingD34th | i tired "alsa reload mixer" that tells me i have no modules loaded | 04:03 |
| favro | RollingD34th: finding the module name atm | 04:04 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Here is the videocards I have to work with: Nvidia Velocity 128, Diamond Monster 3d II, Voodoo v32316, and trident 3dimage 9750 | 04:04 |
| RollingD34th | k | 04:04 |
| favro | RollingD34th: alsamixer in terminal and turn all up | 04:04 |
| RollingD34th | alsamixer: finction snd+ctrl_open failed for defualt: No such file or directory | 04:05 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Favro: how do I xconfigure again? I'll write it down so I wont have to ask again...? | 04:05 |
| favro | RollingD34th: sudo modprobe snd-sb16 | 04:05 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again | 04:06 |
| RollingD34th | nothing | 04:06 |
| RollingD34th | just goes to another line | 04:06 |
| favro | RollingD34th: alsamixer again | 04:06 |
| RollingD34th | same error | 04:06 |
| favro | RollingD34th: does it show in sudo lshw | 04:07 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Favro: Do I have to be at the Unix login command prompt to run the sudo command? | 04:07 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: there or a terminal | 04:07 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: after you have logged in | 04:08 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | ok.....umm....how am I suppose to log in when my system cant even boot up? Sorry for being stupid | 04:08 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: and tridents seem to not be well supported either | 04:08 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: you said it booted before? | 04:09 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Well it ran the boot screen dealio but after it was blank...and last night you got me to the login screen... | 04:10 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: that was with the acpi=force command at grub | 04:10 |
| RollingD34th | what heading should it be under? | 04:10 |
| favro | RollingD34th: pci I beleive | 04:11 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Ya but I thought you had me do a key combination to get to the login prompt..... | 04:11 |
| favro | ohh BiNaRyCoDe ctrl+alt+bksp | 04:11 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | was that when I was loading the kernal or when I was at the grub boot loader? | 04:12 |
| RollingD34th | I have PCI with ISA and PCMCIA 0 and 1 under it | 04:12 |
| RollingD34th | both PCMCIA are cardbus bridges | 04:13 |
| RollingD34th | the ISA is isa bridge, FireStar Plus | 04:13 |
| favro | RollingD34th: try sudo lshw | grep sound | 04:14 |
| RollingD34th | it's searching this time | 04:14 |
| favro | BiNaRyCoDe: when it wouldn't paint the desktop | 04:14 |
| RollingD34th | i got nothing | 04:14 |
| RollingD34th | new line | 04:14 |
| favro | RollingD34th: has the card been in the system long or is it a recent addition? | 04:15 |
| RollingD34th | factory | 04:15 |
| RollingD34th | so very long | 04:15 |
| favro | RollingD34th: since the system can't find it I would open the box - remove the card - reinsert card - see if new contacts help | 04:16 |
| RollingD34th | intregrated to the mother board | 04:16 |
| favro | RollingD34th: sorry my bad - the onboard is your soundblaster? | 04:17 |
| mortuis99 | i have installed xubuntu on a laptop and am trying to configure wireless to work on it. can someone help me with this? | 04:17 |

| RollingD34th | or the fm i/o and mpu i/o address? | 04:21 |
| favro | RollingD34th: to find out I need the comp brand/model | 04:23 |

| RollingD34th | found a guide in the full version of the thread tho | 04:32 |
| RollingD34th | gonna try that | 04:32 |
| RollingD34th | looking at the full version i can actually understand that we's saying | 04:36 |
| RollingD34th | how do i add a line to /etc/modules | 04:37 |
| RollingD34th | actually, i don't have a /ect/modules... | 04:37 |
| jwishnie | RollingD34th: What are you trying to do? | 04:38 |
| RollingD34th | his third post | 04:38 |
| qwerty121 | hello. i just installed xubuntu. can someone please tell me how to install themes? | 04:39 |
| jwishnie | RollingD34th: if you are trying to force the load of a kernel module, you do want to put it in /etc/modules | 04:40 |
| RollingD34th | yeah, i just realize modules is a file, not a dir | 04:41 |
| jwishnie | qwerty121: go to Applications->System->Synaptic Package manager, from there you can install many different software packages including themes | 04:41 |
| jwishnie | RollingD34th: Yeah, /etc/modules is a file where you can list kernel modules to be loaded. /etc/modprobe.d/ is a directory where you can add files containing configuration settings for any loadable modules | 04:42 |
| RollingD34th | ok, how do i add to /etc/modules? | 04:43 |
| favro | RollingD34th: gksu mousepad /etc/modules | 04:43 |
| qwerty121 | jwishnie: i have donwloaded a theme from xfce-look.org...how can i install that one? | 04:43 |
| jwishnie | qwerty121: I've never done it that way. On an Ubuntu/Debian based system it's best to use DEB package files to install software | 04:44 |
| favro | !theme | 04:44 |
| jwishnie | qwerty121: what theme did you download | 04:44 |
| jwishnie | ? | 04:44 |
| RollingD34th | ok, tried that, now rebooting | 04:47 |
| favro | luck | 04:47 |
| * RollingD34th crosses his fingers | 04:50 | |
| favro | RollingD34th: did you make the file /etc/modprobe.d/sound with options snd-es18xx isapnp=0 port=0x220 irq=9 as the line in it? | 04:51 |
| RollingD34th | yes | 04:51 |
| favro | :) | 04:51 |
| RollingD34th | then went in to setup and changed the sound irq to irq9 | 04:51 |
| favro | top job then | 04:51 |
| RollingD34th | we'll see if it work | 04:52 |
| RollingD34th | if i does, i'm having an issue with grub | 04:52 |
| RollingD34th | where can i find a sound file? | 04:56 |
| jwishnie | RollingD34th: /usr/share/sounds | 05:00 |

| RollingD34th | Amen Hallelujah Peanut Butter | 05:07 |

| RollingD34th | thanks favro | 05:07 |
| RollingD34th | heh, if i do anything while the song is playing, it stops playing | 05:09 |
| RollingD34th | then it has to buffer | 05:09 |
| RollingD34th | should be good enough as a mp3 player until i get some ram for it | 05:09 |

| TheSheep | !oem | 09:35 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 09:35 |
| TheSheep | g00se: basically it asks for username and password at first boot | 09:35 |
| favro | afaik the alternate installer is the debian installer - it's not live - so maybe somewhere debian - wiki or #debian maybe | 09:35 |
| favro | ok ubuntu has that covered then | 09:36 |
| === whaletales is now known as aptanet | ||

| backwaters | can anyone help me? | 12:53 |
| backwaters | hi anyone here? | 12:53 |
| Niksoni | Im here | 12:57 |
| Niksoni | Hmm...let me think | 12:57 |
| Niksoni | Are you using a laptop or a computer?And what version of Xubuntu do you have? | 12:58 |
| backwaters | Niksoni, sorry for the late reply | 13:05 |
| backwaters | Niksoni, Im using a laptop | 13:06 |
| Niksoni | Hmm... | 13:06 |
| omar | hello world ! | 13:06 |
| backwaters | the version is hardy heron | 13:06 |
| Niksoni | System.out.println "(hello world !)" | 13:07 |
| Niksoni | Did you turn on your volume? | 13:07 |
| backwaters | Niksoni, I have done many google search. but no result | 13:07 |
| backwaters | yes the volume is max | 13:07 |
| TheSheep | backwaters: check it alsamixer that all channels are enabled | 13:07 |
| TheSheep | backwaters: type 'alsamixer' in terminal to start it | 13:07 |
| backwaters | TheSheep, checked. all are at the max. | 13:08 |
| TheSheep | backwaters: and none is 'muted'? | 13:08 |
| Niksoni | Yes,it might be muted | 13:08 |
| TheSheep | backwaters: type in terminal 'cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp', do you hear noise? | 13:08 |
| omar | i got some weird problem | 13:09 |
| backwaters | TheSheep, how to check if one is muted? | 13:09 |
| Niksoni | Omar: Yes? | 13:09 |
| TheSheep | backwaters: look whether the letters under the volume bar in alsamixer are green or red, 'm' switches them | 13:09 |
| omar | on the logon screen and on xfce interface text is written in big characters ( 72 pt or sthg like that ) | 13:09 |
| backwaters | TheSheep, ok checking | 13:10 |
| Niksoni | Omar: uhhh...i never had that problem,let me think... | 13:11 |
| omar | on the logon screen and on xfce interface text is written in big characters ( 72 pt or sthg like that ) | 13:11 |
| omar | Niksoni: It's just on my laptop | 13:11 |
| omar | Niksoni: Gnome's working fine | 13:12 |
| Niksoni | Oh,yeah i have this question,why is it called Xubuntu when it's using Gnome? | 13:13 |
| Niksoni | Shouldn't it use the XFCE Environment? | 13:13 |
| backwaters | TheSheep, they are not muted. I cannot hear any sound when typed in the command you have said. | 13:13 |
| Niksoni | backwaters: try to restart your computer,maybe that will help | 13:13 |
| TheSheep | Niksoni: it's not using gnome | 13:14 |
| TheSheep | backwaters: and no error? | 13:14 |
| backwaters | Niksoni, i have restarted many times. no difference. there is no errors either | 13:14 |
| Niksoni | TheSheep: i know,but the interface looks like Gnome | 13:14 |
| backwaters | dmesg | grep sound retuns nothing | 13:15 |
| TheSheep | backwaters: try grep snd | 13:15 |
| backwaters | TheSheep, same | 13:15 |
| backwaters | TheSheep, but lsmod | grep snd gives a lot of lines. | 13:16 |

| TheSheep | backwaters: yeah | 13:16 |
| TheSheep | backwaters: maybe search for your soundcard on the forums | 13:17 |
| TheSheep | backwaters: and maybe on the bugtracker too | 13:17 |
| omar | I tried the xubuntu live CD and also installed xubuntu-desktop on ubuntu but always the same problem | 13:17 |
| backwaters | TheSheep, did lots of search. but it seems no one got it working. not too much discussion on this card either | 13:18 |
| TheSheep | :( | 13:18 |
| backwaters | TheSheep, I chose alsa as my sound sys but there are many modules with the name oss loaded. is this normal? | 13:19 |
| TheSheep | backwaters: yes, alsa emulates oss | 13:19 |
| backwaters | oh ok | 13:19 |
| favro | backwaters: what is the brand/model of the laptop? | 13:20 |
| backwaters | favro, Compaq, Presario, B1900 | 13:20 |
| Niksoni | try running a virtual system | 13:22 |
| Niksoni | Then install any other Linux distributions (i recommend ubuntu) and see if it works there | 13:22 |
| favro | that's not a common laptop backwaters | 13:22 |
| Niksoni | I have to be honest here,i never heard about that types of Laptops,still i recommend you try a virtual system | 13:23 |
| omar | Niksoni sorry i wasn't here | 13:23 |
| omar | Niksoni : I'm using Gnome on Ubuntu, but i tried xfce desktop for better performances | 13:24 |
| backwaters | favro, not? I didn't know that. it is 2 years old. every other problems has been fixed the only problem remaining is the sound. | 13:24 |
| omar | Niksoni : And i did use xubuntu's live cd on this laptop to check it before installing xfce | 13:24 |
| backwaters | Niksoni, I tried Ubuntu and Knoppix. both doesn't give me sound | 13:24 |
| favro | I just googled "compaq presario 81900" - less than 10 reults... | 13:25 |
| backwaters | favro, here is url: http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/notebooks/0,39050488,39269560p,00.htm | 13:25 |
| backwaters | i got a fw pages of google result! | 13:26 |
| favro | backwaters: does sudo lshw give it another name? | 13:26 |
| backwaters | favro, it is B9100 not 81900 | 13:26 |
| backwaters | favro, let me check | 13:26 |
| favro | ahh | 13:26 |
| backwaters | favro, here is what that command says: product: Presario B1900 (RF455PA#UUF) | 13:27 |
| favro | k | 13:27 |
| favro | so it is 81900 then... | 13:28 |
| backwaters | favro, no it starts with B : product: Presario B1900 (RF455PA#UUF) | 13:29 |
| favro | ohhh | 13:30 |

| DarkTan | how do i access the other computers on my network? | 13:41 |
| favro | applications-settings-system settings-sound? | 13:41 |
| favro | DarkTan: that was for backwaters - you need samba | 13:42 |
| favro | !samba | 13:42 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 13:42 |

| backwaters | favro, the page is about Re: laptop suspend not working | 14:26 |
| backwaters | it says laptop support is big for ubuntu and must file a bug for the above mentioned problem | 14:26 |
| favro | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616845 | 14:27 |
| favro | backwaters: sorry... | 14:27 |

| backwaters | favro, is this ok? shall i follow the steps for Realtek from that forum? | 14:35 |

| omar | anybody know how to reduce text size in xfce desktop ? | 14:45 |
| favro | omar: tried in applications-settings-system settings? | 14:55 |
| omar | favro since text is really big i can't work with the interface | 14:56 |
| omar | favro, on xfce interface and logon screen on ubuntu, and everywhere in xubuntu text is written in a very big character size (72 pt or sthg like that ) | 14:57 |
| favro | omar: if it can help you can hold down the alt key and use the mouse to drag the desktop up | 14:58 |
| favro | but.. | 14:58 |
| omar | i'll give it a try | 14:58 |
| omar | erm thinking about it i dont think its the solution | 14:59 |
| favro | omar: if you are at login hit ctrl+alt+F2 then login | 14:59 |
| favro | omar: it is a console | 15:00 |
| omar | favro, not really | 15:00 |
| omar | favro, on logon screen only the menu down the screen are big | 15:00 |
| omar | favro, when clicking over they cover all the screen | 15:01 |
| omar | favro, same probleme with xfce and xubuntu ( even on live CD ) | 15:01 |
| favro | omar: if you are at login hit ctrl+alt+F2 then login - wee'll fix it from console hopefully :) | 15:01 |
| omar | favro, ok but can you tell me the procedure now ? i got the problem on this laptop and i cannot launch IRC from console | 15:02 |
| favro | omar: in ~/.config/xfwm there is a config file for your fonts - which one I can't check atm | 15:05 |
| omar | ok i'll check it from gnome | 15:06 |
| favro | omar: if I knew you had gnome... - sorry | 15:08 |
| omar | favro, no problem | 15:09 |
| favro | omar: omar it's all ok in gnome yes? | 15:09 |
| omar | yeah | 15:10 |
| omar | favro, i cant find that config folder | 15:21 |
| favro | omar: can you paste ls ~/.config/xfwm ? | 15:23 |
| favro | !paste | 15:23 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 15:23 |
| omar | ok wait | 15:24 |
| omar | there is no need to paste, it says taht it cannot access this folder because it do not exists | 15:24 |
| favro | omar: well then - ls ~/.config | 15:25 |
| omar | ok | 15:25 |
| omar | i think i found it | 15:26 |
| omar | its named xfce4 | 15:26 |
| favro | omar: great - is there an xfwm in there? | 15:27 |
| omar | favro, so do i paste ls ~/.config/xfce4 or xfce4-session ? | 15:28 |
| favro | omar: tell me if xfwm is in xfce4 :) | 15:28 |
| omar | wait | 15:28 |
| omar | favro, yes xfwm4 | 15:29 |
| favro | omar: and in there ? | 15:29 |
| omar | favro, nothing, i think the folder's empty | 15:30 |
| favro | omar: how did you install xfce4/xubuntu? | 15:30 |
| omar | favro, apt-get xubuntu-desktop on ubuntu | 15:31 |
| omar | favro, and i used live cd version of xubuntu ( same probleme ) | 15:31 |
| omar | brb | 15:31 |
| favro | k | 15:31 |
| omar | back | 15:37 |
| favro | k | 15:37 |
| favro | omar: in terminal do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xubuntu-desktop | 15:38 |
| omar | favro, i think that this is not specific to xfce or xubuntu because i had this problem on ubuntu logon screen even before installing xubuntu-desktop | 15:39 |
| favro | omar: k - prob vid card driver or font install then maybe | 15:39 |
| omar | ok | 15:44 |
| omar | but if it was that case why gnome's working fine ? | 15:46 |
| omar | i still have the same problem | 15:48 |
| Odd-rationale | what's the issue? (sorry i cam in late...) wrong resolution in gdm and xfce4-session? | 15:48 |
| omar | not really | 15:49 |
| omar | on logon screen and xfce/xubuntu text is written in 72 pt characters | 15:50 |
| Odd-rationale | omar: but not in gnome? | 15:50 |
| omar | i cannot use xubuntu or ubuntu under xfce due to that size | 15:51 |
| omar | Odd-rationale, gnome is working fine | 15:51 |
| omar | is there a way to take a screenshot on logon screen ? | 15:51 |
| Odd-rationale | omar: screenshot? you can use http://imagebin.ca/ | 15:52 |
| Odd-rationale | omar: a screen shot a xfce will be fine... | 15:52 |
| omar | Odd-rationale, hosting aint the problem :-) | 15:53 |
| omar | Odd-rationale, but how ? the upper desktop bar takes half my screen and once i click on applications the whole screen is covered by two or three application names | 15:54 |
| Odd-rationale | hmm... | 15:54 |
| ushimitsudoki | i have a small script with 3 lines. the last line is "xfdesktop -reload". if i run this script myself it works, but if i run it through a cron job it does not execute this last line? what am i doing wrong? | 15:56 |
| omar | Odd-rationale, any idea how i can take a screenshot without using menus ? | 15:57 |
| Odd-rationale | omar: maybe try the printscreen key on your keyboard? | 15:58 |
| omar | Odd-rationale, lol i did but there was nothing happening :D | 16:11 |
| omar | brb | 16:12 |
| Odd-rationale | k | 16:12 |
| omar | back | 16:23 |
| Odd-rationale | omar: this seems like a very strange problem. can from the login screen, can you select to log into a failsafe terminal? does the problem occer there as well? | 16:25 |
