[03:08] <RollingD34th> sound blaster pro, didn't have net when i did the xubuntu install
[03:25] <RollingD34th> is there anyone in here?
[03:25] <favro> .
[03:26] <RollingD34th> any idea how to install sound cards?
[03:27] <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
[03:28] <RollingD34th> lspci doen't show it
[03:29] <RollingD34th> i have no volume control to right click on
[03:29] <favro> do you no what model card it is?
[03:30] <RollingD34th> i'm preety sure it's a soundplaster pro
[03:30] <RollingD34th> either that or a sound blaster 16
[03:31] <favro> if you right click the panel you can add a vol control
[03:31] <RollingD34th> trying that
[03:33] <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
[03:34] <favro> try   lspci | grep audio   to see what the system sees
[03:35] <RollingD34th> i get nothing
[03:36] <favro> try   sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart
[03:37] <favro>  lspci | grep audio
[03:37] <RollingD34th> i don't have a dir "alsa
[03:37] <RollingD34th> i do have alsa utils tho
[03:38] <RollingD34th> asla-utlis*
[03:38] <RollingD34th> utils(
[03:38] <BiNaRyCoDe> Hey Favro
[03:38] <favro> hi!
[03:38] <BiNaRyCoDe> I need ur help again
[03:39] <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.
[03:40] <favro> BiNaRyCoDe: did you try the other vid card?
[03:40] <RollingD34th> i get /etc/ini.d: no such file ot directory
[03:41] <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....
[03:42] <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
[03:43] <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
[03:45] <BiNaRyCoDe> So at Grub bootup I press e then select kernal then e again?
[03:45] <favro> yep
[03:46] <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
[03:47] <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
[03:48] <RollingD34th> alsa-base is already the newest version
[03:49] <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?
[03:50] <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...
[03:51]  * 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
[03:52] <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
[03:53] <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
[03:54] <BiNaRyCoDe> thats tru
[03:54] <favro> so yo will have to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again
[03:54] <BiNaRyCoDe> awwww....damn
[03:55] <favro> BiNaRyCoDe: it's not hard :)
[03:55] <BiNaRyCoDe> Favro: would a sis 6326 vid card work do ya think ? :)
[03:56] <favro> BiNaRyCoDe: sis will work but not well - not good linux support for them - didn't you have a nvidia there doing nothing?
[03:57] <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] <RollingD34th> pc speaker works....[monoton voice] yay [/voice]
[03:58] <favro> RollingD34th: all good then ?
[03:59] <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
[04:00] <RollingD34th> i did, Volume control is still greyed out
[04:00] <favro> BiNaRyCoDe: might be the same - I'll have a quick check
[04:01] <favro> RollingD34th: try the  lspci | grep audio  again
[04:02] <RollingD34th> ok
[04:02] <RollingD34th> still does nothing
[04:03] <RollingD34th> i tired "alsa reload mixer" that tells me i have no modules loaded
[04:04] <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
[04:05] <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
[04:06] <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
[04:07] <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
[04:08] <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
[04:09] <favro> BiNaRyCoDe: you said it booted before?
[04:10] <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?
[04:11] <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
[04:12] <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
[04:13] <RollingD34th> both PCMCIA are cardbus bridges
[04:13] <RollingD34th> the ISA is isa bridge, FireStar Plus
[04:14] <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
[04:15] <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
[04:16] <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
[04:17] <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> yeah, it's an old laptop, came with it
[04:17] <favro> !wireless
[04:17] <mortuis99> !wireless
[04:17] <RollingD34th> ndiswrapper is the best thing ever for that
[04:18] <mortuis99> but how can i install itr without a net connect?
[04:18] <favro> RollingD34th: oops - you'll have to enable it in the bios - I thought you had two cards for some reason...
[04:18] <RollingD34th> d/l to usb drive
[04:18] <mortuis99> and which encryptoion does it support?
[04:18] <RollingD34th> favro, ok, rebooting

[04:19] <RollingD34th> i think it support them all depening on the driver you use
[04:19] <favro> BiNaRyCoDe: :)
[04:20] <RollingD34th> should i worry about the dma or irq settings?
[04:21] <RollingD34th> or the fm i/o and mpu i/o address?
[04:23] <favro> RollingD34th: to find out I need the comp brand/model
[04:23] <RollingD34th> compaq 1255
[04:24] <RollingD34th> presario
[04:24] <RollingD34th> it's from before HP bought out compaq
[04:25] <favro> k
[04:28] <RollingD34th> ok, back up

[04:30] <RollingD34th> neither does the other website he mentions
[04:30] <favro> k
[04:32] <RollingD34th> found a guide in the full version of the thread tho
[04:32] <RollingD34th> gonna try that
[04:36] <RollingD34th> looking at the full version i can actually understand that we's saying
[04:37] <RollingD34th> how do i add a line to /etc/modules
[04:37] <RollingD34th> actually, i don't have a /ect/modules...
[04:38] <jwishnie> RollingD34th: What are you trying to do?
[04:38] <RollingD34th> his third post
[04:39] <qwerty121> hello. i just installed xubuntu. can someone please tell me how to install themes?
[04:40] <jwishnie> RollingD34th: if you are trying to force the load of a kernel module, you do want to put it in /etc/modules
[04:41] <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
[04:42] <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
[04:43] <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?
[04:44] <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> ?
[04:47] <RollingD34th> ok, tried that, now rebooting
[04:47] <favro> luck
[04:50]  * RollingD34th crosses his fingers
[04:51] <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
[04:52] <RollingD34th> we'll see if it work
[04:52] <RollingD34th> if i does, i'm having an issue with grub
[04:56] <RollingD34th> where can i find a sound file?
[05:00] <jwishnie> RollingD34th: /usr/share/sounds
[05:06] <RollingD34th> slow computer is slow
[05:07] <RollingD34th> Amen Hallelujah Peanut Butter
[05:07]  * RollingD34th has sound
[05:07] <RollingD34th> thanks favro
[05:09] <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
[05:13] <RollingD34th> how do i view windows comps on my network?

[09:34] <g00se> The alternate installer claims to aid "pre-configured OEM systems". Where can i get more details?
[09:35] <TheSheep> !oem
[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
[09:36] <favro> ok ubuntu has that covered then
[10:22] <g00se> I'll look thanks
[10:24] <g00se> favro: "afaik the alternate installer is the debian installer". Yes there was mention of that. wols: are you there? ;-)

[12:52] <backwaters> I have the following card: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 SMBus Controller (rev 83)
[12:52] <backwaters> the sound doesnt work eventhough the card is detected
[12:53] <backwaters> can anyone help me?
[12:53] <backwaters> hi anyone here?
[12:57] <Niksoni> Im here
[12:57] <Niksoni> Hmm...let me think
[12:58] <Niksoni> Are you using a laptop or a computer?And what version of Xubuntu do you have?
[13:05] <backwaters> Niksoni, sorry for the late reply
[13:06] <backwaters> Niksoni, Im using a laptop
[13:06] <Niksoni> Hmm...
[13:06] <omar> hello world !
[13:06] <backwaters> the version is hardy heron
[13:07] <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
[13:08] <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?
[13:09] <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 )
[13:10] <backwaters> TheSheep, ok checking
[13:11] <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
[13:12] <omar> Niksoni: Gnome's working fine
[13:13] <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
[13:14] <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
[13:15] <backwaters> dmesg | grep sound retuns nothing
[13:15] <TheSheep> backwaters: try grep snd
[13:15] <backwaters> TheSheep, same
[13:16] <backwaters> TheSheep, but lsmod | grep snd gives a lot of lines.
[13:16] <backwaters> about 10 lines
[13:16] <TheSheep> backwaters: yeah
[13:17] <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
[13:18] <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> :(
[13:19] <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
[13:20] <favro> backwaters: what is the brand/model of the laptop?
[13:20] <backwaters> favro, Compaq, Presario, B1900
[13:22] <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
[13:23] <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
[13:24] <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
[13:25] <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
[13:26] <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

[13:27] <favro> k
[13:28] <favro> so it is 81900 then...
[13:29] <backwaters> favro, no it starts with B : product: Presario B1900 (RF455PA#UUF)

[14:24] <favro> backwaters: was that the solution - doing a couple diff things here ?
[14:26] <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
[14:27] <favro> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616845
[14:27] <favro> backwaters: sorry...
[14:30] <backwaters> favro, thanks. im checking it
[14:35] <backwaters> favro, it looks promising. but when i type cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec I have two lines. 1 for Realtek and another one for Conexant
[14:35] <backwaters> favro, is this ok? shall i follow the steps for Realtek from that forum?
[14:36] <favro> backwaters: backwaters I would look in sudo lshw - is there only one card?
[14:39] <backwaters> favro, yup there is only one for audio
[14:39] <favro> backwaters: go with the realtek

[14:39] <favro> k
[14:45] <omar> anybody know how to reduce text size in xfce desktop ?
[14:55] <favro> omar: tried in applications-settings-system settings?
[14:56] <omar> favro since text is really big i can't work with the interface
[14:57] <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 )
[14:58] <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
[14:59] <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
[15:00] <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
[15:01] <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 :)
[15:02] <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
[15:05] <favro> omar: in ~/.config/xfwm there is a config file for your fonts  - which one I can't check atm
[15:06] <omar> ok i'll check it from gnome
[15:08] <favro> omar: if I knew you had gnome... - sorry
[15:09] <omar> favro, no problem
[15:09] <favro> omar: omar it's all ok in gnome yes?
[15:10] <omar> yeah
[15:21] <omar> favro, i cant find that config folder
[15:23] <favro> omar: can you paste   ls ~/.config/xfwm   ?
[15:23] <favro> !paste
[15:24] <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
[15:25] <favro> omar: well then - ls ~/.config
[15:25] <omar> ok
[15:26] <omar> i think i found it
[15:26] <omar> its named xfce4
[15:27] <favro> omar: great - is there an xfwm in there?
[15:28] <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
[15:29] <omar> favro, yes xfwm4
[15:29] <favro> omar: and in there ?
[15:30] <omar> favro, nothing, i think the folder's empty
[15:30] <favro> omar: how did you install xfce4/xubuntu?
[15:31] <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
[15:37] <omar> back
[15:37] <favro> k
[15:38] <favro> omar: in terminal do   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xubuntu-desktop
[15:39] <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
[15:44] <omar> ok
[15:46] <omar> but if it was that case why gnome's working fine ?
[15:48] <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?
[15:49] <omar> not really
[15:50] <omar> on logon screen and xfce/xubuntu text is written in 72 pt characters
[15:50] <Odd-rationale> omar: but not in gnome?
[15:51] <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 ?
[15:52] <Odd-rationale> omar: screenshot? you can use http://imagebin.ca/
[15:52] <Odd-rationale> omar: a screen shot a xfce will be fine...
[15:53] <omar> Odd-rationale, hosting aint the problem :-)
[15:54] <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...
[15:56] <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?
[15:57] <omar> Odd-rationale, any idea how i can take a screenshot without using menus ?
[15:58] <Odd-rationale> omar: maybe try the printscreen key on your keyboard?
[16:11] <omar> Odd-rationale, lol i did but there was nothing happening :D
[16:12] <omar> brb
[16:12] <Odd-rationale> k
[16:23] <omar> back
[16:25] <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?
[16:26] <Niksoni> change the resolution?
[16:34] <Niksoni> Did it work?

[16:44] <Niksoni> doke: Did you try google.com or yahoo.com to search for answer?

[16:45] <doke> thanks for the help.
[16:46] <Niksoni> oh,ok.Good luck :)
[16:50] <Odd-rationale> doke: you can boot into recovery mode, and select, drop into root shell
[16:50] <Odd-rationale> doke: then change you passord by typing: passwd <usename>
[16:50] <Odd-rationale> !password
[16:53] <Niksoni> !username
