| tetsuo9 | hello | 02:29 |
| tetsuo9 | i am having a hell of a time trying to set up sound in Xubuntu | 02:29 |
| tetsuo9 | google turned up some resources on this topic, but they all seem to mention messing with "System > Preferences > Sound", and I don't even know where 'System' is (nothing appropriate in the Applications menu, or on any toolbar). | 02:31 |
| tetsuo9 | does anyone know any other good resources that might help me? | 02:31 |
| charlie-tca | Use alsamixer to unmute and turn up volumes | 02:31 |
| charlie-tca | If it is not installed, install using synaptic | 02:32 |
| tetsuo9 | thank you. i will try that | 02:34 |
| charlie-tca | Hope it works. :-) | 02:35 |
| tetsuo9 | would it be wise to turn the volume up on all channels to 100%? | 02:36 |
| charlie-tca | I did, then I could control it with the panel volume control. | 02:36 |
| tetsuo9 | i have no volume control on any panel. | 02:37 |
| charlie-tca | Right click on a blank spot, Add New Item, Volume Control. It works after you set up with alsamixer | 02:38 |
| tetsuo9 | thank you again : ) | 02:42 |
| tetsuo9 | it all works! wonderful! | 02:45 |
| tetsuo9 | thank you! and good night | 02:45 |

| Metatron | the xubuntu live cd saw my wireless network...installed to hard drive and now it doesnt see it...whats up? | 04:13 |
| === ronn_o is now known as ron_o | ||
| Edgar | hello everyone | 04:51 |
| Edgar | I have ubuntu with gnome by default | 04:51 |
| Edgar | and I installed kde by typing kde-core in the terminal | 04:52 |
| Edgar | what I have to type for download the Xfce's core | 04:52 |
| Edgar | ?? | 04:52 |
| Edgar | now, I'm downloading the Xfce, by the command apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 04:53 |
| Metatron | been kinda quiet in here edgar | 04:53 |
| Edgar | yes I have noticed it | 04:54 |
| Metatron | ive been out of loop too long to help, im stuck with a wifi problem, xubuntu live cd boot should wireless, after install to hard drive no wireless...pain in the router | 04:54 |
| Metatron | showed that is, not should | 04:54 |
| Edgar | it seems that there is no community support at these hours | 04:55 |
| Metatron | u trying to downgrade xubuntu to something lighter? | 04:56 |
| Metatron | downgrade isn right word | 04:56 |
| Edgar | I'm not downgrading | 04:56 |
| Edgar | I'm just want to download the core to test it | 04:57 |
| Metatron | i c | 04:57 |
| Edgar | for download the kde core I just type kde-core | 04:57 |
| Metatron | cant u find xfce in symantic | 04:57 |
| Edgar | mmmm it should, I just wanted to type the command | 04:58 |
| Edgar | anyway, I don't find it in symantic | 04:59 |
| Metatron | trying to think | 05:00 |
| Metatron | im in xp atm | 05:00 |
| Edgar | hehe | 05:00 |
| Edgar | ok, yea, sometimes I need to use xp too | 05:00 |
| Metatron | sudo apt-cache search xfce | 05:00 |
| Metatron | should list packages with xfce in it | 05:02 |
| Edgar | ok | 05:02 |
| Metatron | i think hehe | 05:02 |
| Metatron | i dont think xubuntu is gonna do it for me on target box, its OLD | 05:02 |
| Edgar | well that should work, but it's ok now I have already downloaded the xubuntu-desktop | 05:03 |
| Metatron | but im trying to revive its ANCIENT tv tuner card, no luck in other distro's, but xubuntu is gonna be too slow, back to puppy, tinyme or zenwalk | 05:03 |
| Edgar | so you don't like the xubuntu? | 05:03 |
| Metatron | its ok, i just have a realy old box | 05:03 |
| Metatron | not up to it | 05:03 |
| Metatron | the biggest plus on all ubuntu flavors is the repository, best selection of stuff, best dependancy checking | 05:06 |
| Metatron | i once installed ubuntu as a text/console only and tried icewm fluxbox xfce rox-filer anb ran fast on old box, just too hard to configure | 05:07 |
| Edgar | xfce looks like a copy of gnome | 05:10 |
| Edgar | it's almost the same but...gnome it's kinda of superior | 05:11 |
| Metatron | its much faster, gnome has alot more guts to it | 05:11 |
| Metatron | realy its the panels that make it loot the same | 05:12 |
| Metatron | look | 05:12 |
| Edgar | well yes it's faster but gnome looks better I mean smoother | 05:12 |
| Metatron | gnome has more shading and transparecy stuff | 05:12 |
| Edgar | yes, that's what I mean | 05:13 |
| Metatron | i like the xfce file manager over thunar or whatever its called nowadays, its like explore in xp sorta | 05:13 |
| Edgar | what advantages has xfce over gnome? besides the performance | 05:14 |
| Metatron | performance | 05:15 |
| Metatron | about it | 05:15 |
| Edgar | something else? | 05:16 |
| Metatron | xfce might be easier to tweak | 05:16 |
| Metatron | customize i mean, but u got a learning curve | 05:16 |
| Metatron | right click menus are more customizable in xfce if i remember correctly | 05:17 |
| Edgar | so for you, which is better for u gnome or xfce? | 05:19 |
| Metatron | gnome if i got horsepower, xfce on slower box | 05:19 |
| Edgar | ok | 05:19 |
| Edgar | do u like the kde? | 05:19 |
| Metatron | abit better at performance than gnome, some nice apps forit | 05:20 |
| Metatron | gnome is used more thus there is alot of infor availble for it, lots of ppl banging on it | 05:20 |
| Edgar | ok | 05:20 |
| Metatron | if performance isnt an isssue gnome is fine, if performace is an isssue, fluxbox, icewm, rox-filer, jwm or some combination there of | 05:21 |
| Edgar | ok | 05:23 |
| Edgar | well, it's cool that xfce have a theme similar to the gnome human theme | 05:28 |
| Edgar | it seems that xfce is kinda of abandoned, becouse the last version was released in 2007 :s | 05:39 |
| Edgar | :-/ | 05:39 |
| Metatron | not abandoned, just slower develeopment | 05:40 |
| Metatron | alot less ppl working on it | 05:40 |
| Edgar | why is that? | 05:40 |
| Metatron | gnome is used in oodles of distro's | 05:40 |
| Metatron | more ppl in the community to work on it | 05:40 |
| Edgar | ook | 05:41 |
| Edgar | but the people that develop gnome or xfce, does they make money? | 05:41 |
| Edgar | I mean the softwares is free | 05:42 |
| Edgar | I guess that people who works in free software doesn't live of making free software | 05:43 |
| Metatron | yup | 05:43 |
| Metatron | though some of the distro's that use gnome do have commercial interests | 05:43 |
| Metatron | even ubuntu has a commercial sponser | 05:44 |
| Metatron | thus more support for gnome | 05:44 |
| Edgar | with the free software, people can make money with commercial support or sponsored services | 05:47 |
| Metatron | yeah | 05:47 |
| Edgar | with the services can make money, but with the product can't | 05:48 |

| dnyy | It lets me edit other hidden files, so I have no idea why it wouldn't on that one. :/ | 06:35 |
| knome | i suppose it has such permissions you can edit it only with root/sudo | 06:36 |
| zoredache | dnyy: Perhaps you don't have rights to edit the file because it owned by seomeone else | 06:36 |
| dnyy | Err, yeah. For some reason it's owned by root. | 06:37 |

So what config files are involved here? | 12:17 |
| emkeyen | hello | 12:55 |
| emkeyen | i have a problem | 12:55 |
| emkeyen | i'm running xubuntu 8.10 on a hp omnibook 6100 | 12:55 |
| emkeyen | but it does not mount my floppy disk | 12:56 |
| emkeyen | can i do it manually? | 12:56 |
| emkeyen | sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy/ -t vfat | 13:02 |
| emkeyen | mount: special device /dev/fd0 does not exist | 13:02 |
| emkeyen | and | 13:02 |
| emkeyen | $ sudo mount /dev/fd/0 /media/floppy/ -t vfat | 13:03 |
| emkeyen | mount: /dev/pts/0 is not a block device | 13:03 |
| emkeyen | ??? | 13:03 |
| j_xinudsb | emkeyen: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy | 13:03 |
| emkeyen | j_xinudsb: doesnt work. see error message above. | 13:04 |
| emkeyen | when i hot swap to cdrom it works | 13:06 |
| vidd | emkeyen, what exactly are you trying to do? | 13:07 |
| j_xinudsb | emkeyen: yeah ubuntu does not set /dev/fd0 as a automuntable device so it must be u-mounted before removing | 13:07 |
| emkeyen | aha | 13:08 |
| j_xinudsb | emkeyen: try /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 in your fstab | 13:10 |
| j_xinudsb | note auto | 13:11 |
| emkeyen | mount /dev/fd0 | 13:14 |
| emkeyen | mount: special device /dev/fd0 does not exist | 13:14 |
| vidd | emkeyen, is this a usb floppy, or a standard floppy? | 13:15 |
| emkeyen | hotswappable standard floppy on laptop | 13:15 |
| vidd | emkeyen, then it will not mount as /dev/fd0 | 13:16 |
| vidd | check your thunar under /dev/ to see what devises are listed | 13:17 |
| vidd | ie what is the cdrom mounted as? | 13:17 |
| emkeyen | when i look at fstab i see cdrom listed as /dev/scd0 | 13:17 |
| vidd | emkeyen, then when you hotswap the floppy, see if you can mount /dev/scd0 as /media/floppy | 13:18 |
| vidd | you might also try scd1 | 13:19 |
| emkeyen | hmm. weird. now i have no /dev/scd0 | 13:20 |
| vidd | the devices listed in thunar with an "X" icon are devices not connected..... | 13:20 |
| vidd | items with no "X" icon are found devices | 13:21 |
| j_xinudsb | or create a floppy device in dev/ to point to the cd drive as ln -s scd0 floppy0 | 13:21 |
| j_xinudsb | ln -s scd0 fd0 | 13:22 |
| vidd | emkeyen, when you boot with the floppy in, your bios does detect it....right? | 13:23 |
| emkeyen | yes | 13:23 |
| emkeyen | it tries to boot from floppy | 13:23 |
| vidd | try booting with the floppy device in, and review the list of devices in /dev | 13:23 |
| emkeyen | ok | 13:24 |
| emkeyen | now it does not mount cdrom any more either | 13:24 |
| vidd | this will let you know what linux is seeing the device as | 13:24 |
| emkeyen | ok | 13:24 |
| emkeyen | thanks | 13:24 |
| emkeyen | i'll try and bbl | 13:24 |
| vidd | do you still have that /dev/fd0 in your fstab? | 13:24 |
| emkeyen | commented it out. should i have it? | 13:25 |
| j_xinudsb | ahh yes otherwise ubuntu does not know how to and where to mount fd0 | 13:50 |
| RurouniJones | Howdy all, is there anything that the alternate xubuntu install CD has that recommends it over the standard liv/install CD? | 14:09 |
| gabkdlly | smaller footprint | 14:11 |
| RurouniJones | Don't suppose it has a utility to resize windows partitions on it? | 14:12 |
| vidd | RurouniJones, of course it does | 14:13 |
| RurouniJones | On the live CD as well as the alternate? | 14:15 |
| RurouniJones | Non-destructively resize windows partitions that is ;) | 14:15 |
| j_xinudsb | use Debian if you need a smaller footprint | 14:18 |
| j_xinudsb | and just dont install | 14:19 |
| RurouniJones | footprint isn't that important. lightweight GUI is the main one | 14:19 |
| RurouniJones | This is going to be a Granny OS installation | 14:19 |
| j_xinudsb | i use dream linux for small gui footprint | 14:20 |
| j_xinudsb | it is based on Debian too | 14:21 |
| j_xinudsb | but i think xubuntu is light enough for most cases | 14:22 |

| Shaba1 | and a good user forum | 22:40 |
| cody-somerville | Shaba1, we have ubuntuforums.com | 22:50 |
| cody-somerville | * http://ubuntuforums.org/ | 22:50 |
| Shaba1 | that is for ubuntu | 22:51 |
| Shaba1 | not xubuntu | 22:51 |
| cody-somerville | No | 22:51 |
| cody-somerville | It is for both | 22:51 |
| Shaba1 | My point is that there is enough difference that there needs to be a specific forum for xubuntu | 22:52 |
| cody-somerville | No, no there doesn't | 22:53 |
| Shaba1 | ok your opinion cody-somerville | 22:53 |
| Shaba1 | sheesh | 22:53 |
| cody-somerville | There is only like 66 packages different between Ubuntu and Xubuntu | 22:53 |
| Shaba1 | the whole interface is differnt | 22:54 |
| Shaba1 | you go into the ubuntu room and ask about something | 22:54 |
| Shaba1 | and someone tells you to click here and choose this menu item | 22:54 |
| cody-somerville | Sure | 22:54 |

| Shaba1 | well that does not exist in xubuntu and you are totally lost | 22:54 |
| cody-somerville | but we don't need a separate forums | 22:54 |
