| mikubuntu | don't know what the problem could be. i tried removing pulseaudio and installing esound, but then i got no sound in any configuration i tried, so i reinstalled pulseaudio ... | 02:33 |

| psycho_oreos | is this a dist-upgrade? | 07:29 |
| xsebsx | howdo you mean? no i simply reboot | 07:30 |
| xsebsx | and my panels were gone | 07:30 |
| psycho_oreos | and what did you do last? | 07:31 |
| xsebsx | here, i jsut opened and terminal and here's the output | 07:32 |
| xsebsx | http://pastebin.ca/1546801 | 07:32 |
| xsebsx | i'm pretty sure that if i close the terminal though the panels will be gone and they won't be nback if i reboot | 07:32 |
| psycho_oreos | you didn't answer my question | 07:33 |
| xsebsx | i had rebooted | 07:33 |
| xsebsx | that's hwat i had done last | 07:33 |
| xsebsx | i'm trying this | 07:34 |
| xsebsx | http://www.anujpathania.blogspot.com/2008/06/xubuntu-panels-disappear.html | 07:34 |
| psycho_oreos | you rebooted without doing anything.. right | 07:34 |
| xsebsx | if it doesn't work i'll get back | 07:34 |
| xsebsx | brb | 07:34 |
| xsebsx | i think so | 07:34 |
| psycho_oreos | you think | 07:34 |
| xsebsx | why? | 07:34 |
| xsebsx | what did i do? | 07:34 |
| xsebsx | i don't remember having seen any dialogue that asked me if i wanted the panel to be removed | 07:34 |
| psycho_oreos | you're not admitting what you did last, you just proposed a problem, ignoring the rest of the details which may contribute to the cause | 07:35 |
| xsebsx | i closed the programs | 07:35 |
| psycho_oreos | no | 07:35 |
| xsebsx | ok, well then it escapes me | 07:35 |
| xsebsx | i guess i wasn't paying attention but simply trying to reboot | 07:35 |
| psycho_oreos | meh *shrugs* and if the guide doesn't work, reinstall | 07:35 |
| xsebsx | brb | 07:36 |
| xsebsx | psycho_oreos, did you see the output from the terminal i pasted? | 07:38 |
| psycho_oreos | yes and its pointless | 07:39 |
| xsebsx | why? | 07:39 |
| xsebsx | it doesn't show anything? | 07:39 |
| psycho_oreos | I've given your answer, reinstall | 07:40 |
| xsebsx | what if i go to system settings and check that xfce-panel is on the startup apps? | 07:41 |
| xsebsx | psycho_oreos, i don't want to reinstall | 07:49 |
| xsebsx | i want to fix it | 07:50 |
| xsebsx | in what folder in the system are the applications supposed to be? | 07:50 |
| xsebsx | i need to find the panel's directory | 07:50 |
| xsebsx | in order to add it to the autostartup apps | 07:50 |
| xsebsx | how cani find where the xfce4-panel is located? | 07:53 |
| xsebsx | ok brb | 07:55 |
| xsebsx | fixed | 07:56 |
| xsebsx | windows fan | 07:57 |

| titan_ark | Hey, I have just got a new HP notebook and i wanted to install the 64 bit version, needed some help with that | 10:42 |
| titan_ark | No one around at this hour I guess :( | 10:44 |
| durt | people around from all over the world, you just need to ask a question, not too many will agree to long term hand holding | 10:48 |
| titan_ark | hey durt, i tried searching but could not figure out how if the CD i recieved is a 64 bit one | 10:49 |
| durt | it's identified in the file name. | 10:50 |
| titan_ark | hmm oki, thx il need to chk, never used vista and this notebook ships with it! its irritating! | 10:51 |
| durt | i386 is 32 bit, amd64 is 64 bit (both amd and intel). | 10:52 |
| titan_ark | oh oki | 10:52 |
| titan_ark | this seems to be an i386 | 10:52 |
| titan_ark | il prolly need to DL the 64 bit one and figure out where to get a blank CDs | 10:53 |
| titan_ark | thx a ton :) | 10:53 |
| maoshe | hi | 14:18 |
| maoshe | anybody here, who knows how to config a vnc server on ubuntu server, running with xfce | 14:18 |
| Araneidae | Accidentially broke my xfce4-panel config, lost the menus! How do I get them back?! | 14:39 |
| Araneidae | Doesn't seem to be an entry on "Add New Items..." | 14:41 |
| Laibsch | Does anybody else see the problem of the GTK2 theme getting changed after logging in to Gnome and then back in to XFCE? | 15:05 |
| Laibsch | What's worse, I can't get it back now to its original setting. XFCE-Menu-Settings-Appearance does not seem to have any effect | 15:10 |
| JoeZiehmer | I have an iMac 500 running Xubuntu 9.04 and I need help getting the colors away from 256 color mode | 17:14 |
| JoeZiehmer | Xubuntu 9.04 iMac 500 with 784 of RAM it runs great just want to get the colors right. | 17:15 |
| JoeZiehmer | Can someone help me before I plant a hatchet in it? | 17:16 |
| LittleItaly | hello all, xorg.conf is supposed to be blank right? | 18:19 |
| LittleItaly | asking because i have a 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02), and i cannt get higher res than 800x600 | 18:20 |
| LittleItaly | and the solutions online say to edit xorg.conf | 18:20 |
| LittleItaly | but mine is blank, but i also read that it is supposed to be blank now, so i dont know what to do | 18:20 |
| LittleItaly | there is a driver for ati on dells website for fedora 7, but im not sure if i can use that and if i can, how to install it | 18:22 |
| Besogon | LittleItaly, don't you have jockey-gtk? | 18:34 |
| LittleItaly | i dont know, what is that? | 18:35 |
| Besogon | manager pro drivers... in Ubuntu at least. | 18:35 |
| LittleItaly | do you get that in packet manager? | 18:36 |
| Besogon | I hve got ubuntu and xubuntu on one computer | 18:37 |
| LittleItaly | yeah, but do you get jockey-gtk in the synaptic packet manager? | 18:39 |
| LittleItaly | and what does it do? | 18:39 |
| Besogon | jockey-gtk is a tool that is installed in gnome by default. (What graphics card do you have exactly?) | 18:41 |
| SiDi | LittleItaly: jockey-gtk is the application that allows you to enable and disable drivers for your hardware | 18:41 |
| LittleItaly | ohh well in xubuntu it doesnt use gnome | 18:41 |
| LittleItaly | ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02) | 18:42 |
| SiDi | You can enable/disable most GPU / wifi drivers via jockey-gtk, and if you run 'jockey-gtk -- check 60', it'll check for new hardware every minute | 18:42 |
| LittleItaly | so i shouldnt have it since i have XFCE desktop right? | 18:43 |
| LittleItaly | oh i do, i have tryed that cause i found it on my menu but it always says there are no drivers | 18:45 |
| SiDi | LittleItaly: you should have it | 18:47 |
| SiDi | it's not a gnome app | 18:47 |
| SiDi | it's a gtk+ application | 18:47 |
| raidfail | hello, i'm fairly new to linux (but not to computers) and ran the xubuntu live cd to check it out. but when i tried to go back to my windows vista installation, i was unable because one of the drives in my RAID0 somehow lost its member status. it worked perfectly prior to running the live cd | 18:47 |
| LittleItaly | yeah i have it, but it returns nothing | 18:47 |
| SiDi | (so its not designed specifically for gnome) | 18:47 |
| raidfail | am i screwed? | 18:47 |
| SiDi | LittleItaly: it's meant to run in the background till it finds new hardware | 18:47 |
| LittleItaly | but its not finding any new hardware | 18:48 |
| SiDi | raidfail: running the liveCD doesnt cause anything to be written to your drives or your drives config to change unless you _install_ xubuntu | 18:48 |
| SiDi | raidfail: didnt you change something in your bios prior to booting on the live CD ? | 18:48 |
| SiDi | LittleItaly: then it most likely means it cant find proper drivers for the harware you just plugged in | 18:49 |
| SiDi | Which wouldnt be surprising at all for an ATI Rage... ATI's support for old hardware is terribly bad | 18:49 |
| LittleItaly | i didnt plug in anything. this is a graphics card | 18:49 |
| SiDi | you perfectly understood what i meant :P | 18:49 |
| raidfail | SiDi: i only changed the boot order, placing my cd-drive as primary | 18:50 |
| LittleItaly | so i cannt get higher than 800x600? | 18:50 |
| SiDi | raidfail: did you try to change it back ? :P | 18:50 |
| LittleItaly | there is a driver on dell for it for fedora, can i install it on my xubuntu? | 18:50 |
| SiDi | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=533926 LittleItaly | 18:50 |
| raidfail | SiDi: yes lol i did, just one of the drives suddenly reads as non-member disk in my RAID bios | 18:51 |
| SiDi | (when did ATI begin to rename their cards Rage ? T_T My last Rage is 12+ years old) | 18:51 |
| SiDi | raidfail: i think it comes from your bios :/ | 18:51 |
| LittleItaly | its an inspirion 4000 laptop, its old | 18:52 |
| Besogon | LittleItaly, http://support.amd.com/us/psearch/Pages/psearch.aspx?type=2.4.2&contentType=GPU%20Download%20Detail I cant find out you model.. | 18:52 |
| LittleItaly | yeah cause its really old lol, ive checked there | 18:53 |
| LittleItaly | SiDi, your post refers to radeon cards | 18:53 |
| raidfail | SiDi: damn, its funny, now that xubuntu is the only os working on my pc now via live-cd i really have to test it out. *attempting to look positively* i'm obviously going to have do a reinstall, but is there anyway to save data i.e. my documents from my windows install? | 18:54 |
| LittleItaly | so can i some how use the dell driver for fedora and install it on xubuntu? | 18:54 |
| LittleItaly | raidfail, use your live cd to explore your hdd directories | 18:55 |
| LittleItaly | get a usb drive and save everything to it | 18:55 |
| raidfail | SiDi: how would i go about mounting them? i didn't see them when poking around filesystem | 18:56 |
| LittleItaly | how can i use the dell driver for fedora and install it on xubuntu? | 19:08 |
| LittleItaly | are the different types of linux like the different windows where you can not use drivers for xp on windows vista | 19:09 |
| LittleItaly | lol, once again, is xorg.conf supposed to be empty? | 19:13 |
| Besogon | LittleItaly, fedora uses RPM-packages. It's bad idea | 19:16 |
| LittleItaly | ok, well the solution i keep seeing is to edit etc/x11/xorg.conf file, but it is empty | 19:17 |
| LittleItaly | is it supposed to be empty? | 19:17 |
| Besogon | LittleItaly, yes. It may be emptly. | 19:17 |
| genii | Uppercase X on the pathname X11 part | 19:18 |
| LittleItaly | yeah | 19:18 |
| LittleItaly | so that solution wont work for me then | 19:18 |
| Besogon | Type xrandr in console and you will see your resolutions | 19:18 |
| LittleItaly | max is 800x600 | 19:19 |
| Besogon | So it seems that you are using VGA driver. What is call cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver | 19:21 |
| LittleItaly | that command didnt do anything | 19:23 |
| LittleItaly | because xorg.conf is blank | 19:23 |
| SiDi | raidfail: i dont know how to mount failing hardware raid filesystems :P | 19:24 |
| SiDi | you may wanna ask in channels w/ more people or who know more about raid setups | 19:24 |
| SiDi | or even in #windows | 19:24 |
| SiDi | LittleItaly: its empty but if you write stuff inside it, Xorg will read that stuff | 19:25 |
| LittleItaly | so if i copy and paste the stuff on the websites it will work? | 19:25 |
| raidfail | yeah i've been attempting to but its not working | 19:25 |
| raidfail | thanks for the help though! | 19:25 |
| LittleItaly | http://wiki.zenwalk.org/index.php?title=ATI_Rage_Mobility_M3_AGP_2x | 19:25 |
| LittleItaly | thats the possible solution | 19:25 |
| Besogon | LittleItaly, sudo lshw can tell you which driver is used for your ATI now. | 19:27 |
| Besogon | Saving sinking people is deal of themselves. | 19:30 |
| Besogon | Saving sinking people is deal of sinking people. | 19:31 |
| LittleItaly | it says alot of stuff, i dont see driver listed | 19:31 |
| SiDi | lshw tells about the hardware, not driver, Besogon | 19:32 |
| SiDi | LittleItaly: the problem is that ATI probably never released drivers for your GPU that are compatible with the new X.Org version | 19:33 |
| SiDi | so either you'll have to use older versions (that will get unsupported in 1year and a half max), or you mess with xorg.conf, or you get a new shiny GPU :/ | 19:33 |
| === _PlaYStatiON is now known as PlaYStatiON | ||
| LittleItaly | by messing with my blank xorg.conf, pasting in those sections off this site http://wiki.zenwalk.org/index.php?title=ATI_Rage_Mobility_M3_AGP_2x will make it read right? | 19:34 |
| SiDi | you'd probably need more stuff in | 19:35 |
| SiDi | There is a command to reconfigure xorg that should generate a default xorg.conf | 19:35 |
| SiDi | but i forgot that command :| | 19:35 |
| LittleItaly | would it be sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 19:36 |
| SiDi | yeh :p | 19:37 |
| SiDi | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg --phigh | 19:37 |
| SiDi | i think it's that | 19:37 |
| SiDi | Then you should hopefully have a default xorg.conf on which you can write your changes, then reboot X and see if it works | 19:37 |
| LittleItaly | whats the difference between the command i posted and your command | 19:38 |
| Besogon | SiDi, yes. But if you were readed the hardware information, you would see that there is finger up information about drivers for hardware | 19:38 |
| Besogon | too | 19:39 |
| Besogon | LittleItaly, Do you make your card to work? | 19:45 |
| LittleItaly | no, i didnt try. i wanted to know the difference between the command he posted and the command i posted to make a default xorg.conf file | 19:45 |
| Besogon | make that you know | 19:48 |
| LittleItaly | make that you know? | 19:49 |
| SiDi | LittleItaly: dpkg-reconfigure is an interactive utility | 19:49 |
| SiDi | it asks a lot of questions | 19:49 |
| SiDi | -phigh stands for --priority high | 19:49 |
| SiDi | it will only list the 'important' questions | 19:50 |
| SiDi | so that you're done much faster :P | 19:50 |
| LittleItaly | ohh ok lol. then ill do the phigh | 19:50 |
| Besogon | Is r128 driver actually exist in system? may be it built in kernel? | 19:53 |
| Besogon | ha ha ha man r128 | 19:54 |
| Besogon | ) | 19:54 |
| LittleItaly | so how do i use it? | 19:57 |
| Besogon | dpkg -l *r128* said me that I had been installed this driver too | 19:57 |
| LittleItaly | so how do i make it use the driver | 19:58 |
| SiDi | sudo modprobe r128 | 19:59 |
| LittleItaly | it did it with a warning | 20:00 |
| Besogon | no. How can he use both driver (VGA and r128) at the time? It's impossible. LittleItaly you should make xorg.conf | 20:01 |
| LittleItaly | ok | 20:02 |
| Besogon | then make sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 20:02 |
| Besogon | !xorg.conf | 20:03 |

| Besogon | LittleItaly, Look at "Setting resolution changes in xorg.conf" paragraph. You need something like that. | 20:06 |
| LittleItaly | ok | 20:06 |
| Besogon | Or just try to change option Driver to "Driver r128" and reboot. may be it will enaugh for you | 20:12 |

| _Trinity_ | say is Xubuntu plug i and play as ubuntu was when it supported ppc? | 21:46 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: xubuntu pretty much *is* ubuntu with a different UI, and very little of the dark magic is handled by the UI | 21:47 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: so yeah if ubuntu worked fine for you on your hardware, then xubuntu will too | 21:47 |
| _Trinity_ | so itl load right into xfce | 21:49 |
| _Trinity_ | great | 21:49 |
| lc2 | yes | 21:50 |
| lc2 | i've installed it on three (admittedly kinda old) boxen and it just worked | 21:50 |
| lc2 | nice how everything works so quickly on a 2.8ghz pentium 4 :) | 21:50 |
| _Trinity_ | anything like a 400Mhz? | 21:50 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: no the slowest was a 1.4 athlon | 21:51 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: you might want to try a different window manager if you want to install it on something that slow | 21:51 |
| _Trinity_ | I hope I can wath streamed videos on my iMac DV but that may be asking for too much | 21:51 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: back when the dinosaurs ruled the earth, i was on a 233mhz pentium MMX and used windowmaker | 21:51 |
| _Trinity_ | lol | 21:51 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: and there's not so much different about linux that means that ubuntu + windowmaker will be significantly slower than red hat 6.2 + windowmaker was back then | 21:52 |
| _Trinity_ | sure, Il look around and see if any of my old window managers are still being developed | 21:52 |
| lc2 | so yeah, give it a shot | 21:52 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: fvwm and windowmaker still are | 21:52 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: i almost switched to fvwm a little while ago, but sadly, the fvwm menu command line tools don't support ubuntu menus :< | 21:53 |
| _Trinity_ | fvwm?? isn that loaded by default with X11? | 21:53 |
| lc2 | or rather, whatever application menu system ubuntu uses | 21:53 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: no, you might be thinking twm, fvwm has always been separate | 21:53 |
| _Trinity_ | bare minimum of a wm | 21:53 |
| _Trinity_ | oh | 21:54 |
| _Trinity_ | fluxbox seemed interesting years ago | 21:54 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: heh yes | 21:54 |
| === PlaYStatiON is now known as PLaYSTatiON | ||
| lc2 | _Trinity_: all those neat customisable window managers/environments were fun to me a few years ago | 21:54 |
| lc2 | then i realised i just don't have the time for that | 21:54 |
| _Trinity_ | well, once I get Xubuntu instaled Il see what around in the repositories | 21:55 |
| lc2 | gone are the days when i would spend days on a custom fvwm setup, and fight off dinosaurs while listening to that hip new artist "beethoven" etc | 21:55 |
| _Trinity_ | same here, and that why I thought about xfce on Xubuntu, but wel see how it performs | 21:55 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: i dare say somewhere between "bag of shit" and "slower than molasses" | 21:56 |
| _Trinity_ | LOL! | 21:56 |
| lc2 | but another desktop environment won't hurt that at all | 21:56 |
| lc2 | windowmaker will do just fine for a slow system | 21:56 |
| _Trinity_ | there was a fluxbox bsaed verssion of ubuntu but lst i checked it didn go anywhere | 21:57 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: not to worry, you can always install fluxbox and make it your window manager | 21:57 |
| _Trinity_ | how about E17? Enlightenment? | 21:58 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: yeah probably | 21:58 |
| lc2 | wow, i just about remember enlightenment lol | 21:58 |
| lc2 | how long have you been using linux _Trinity_? | 22:00 |
| _Trinity_ | I used to use it back in university | 22:01 |
| _Trinity_ | used it for about 5 years | 22:01 |
| lc2 | like what year did you start? | 22:01 |
| lc2 | you remember enlightenment so it's been a while lol | 22:01 |
| _Trinity_ | I started sometime after ubuntu started | 22:01 |
| _Trinity_ | warty? | 22:02 |
| _Trinity_ | and hoary? | 22:02 |
| _Trinity_ | I ws around about then | 22:02 |
| _Trinity_ | always used the ppc ports | 22:02 |
| lc2 | oh okay | 22:02 |
| * lc2 has been using linux since about 1998 | 22:02 | |
| _Trinity_ | but I wasn t using ubuntu or any sort of linux when ppc got dropped | 22:03 |
| lc2 | full-time since 2001 | 22:03 |
| _Trinity_ | so thats my issue | 22:03 |
| lc2 | i switched to freebsd for a few years then came back around the time of hardy | 22:03 |
| _Trinity_ | I used debian before and fiddled around with mandrake, as it ws called | 22:03 |
| lc2 | wow, lol | 22:04 |
| _Trinity_ | and yellowdog but those were not even close to my taste | 22:04 |
| lc2 | mandrake | 22:04 |
| lc2 | old times, lol | 22:04 |
| _Trinity_ | and mandrake also dropped oficial support for ppc | 22:04 |
| _Trinity_ | and that was really felt when running it | 22:04 |
| lc2 | mm :< | 22:04 |
| _Trinity_ | so I have worries about ppc ubuntu going the same way and ruining my user experience | 22:05 |
| _Trinity_ | on this iMac, since it became my main computer now that my laptop is on the fritz | 22:05 |
| lc2 | wow that sucks :/ | 22:06 |
| lc2 | like one of those big CRT-based imacs? | 22:06 |
| _Trinity_ | yeah | 22:06 |
| _Trinity_ | everything looks dark | 22:06 |
| _Trinity_ | especially pics | 22:07 |
| lc2 | nice | 22:07 |
| lc2 | haha | 22:07 |
| _Trinity_ | its more reliaable than the yonah based macbook pros that cost me a bundle of $$. Apple is shit now | 22:08 |
| _Trinity_ | excuse my language | 22:08 |
| lc2 | forgiven | 22:08 |
| lc2 | i've sometimes wanted a mac | 22:08 |
| lc2 | but i don't think i could change how i work that easily | 22:09 |
| _Trinity_ | yeah, I got used t them in university and always ran both OS X and Linux side by side, dual boots | 22:10 |
| lc2 | i also couldn't do without a fast native version of gimp, even if photoshop exists and might be superior | 22:10 |
| _Trinity_ | I bought one window based once and swore t never buy another pc. So I got turned off of pcs because of windows | 22:11 |
| lc2 | although gimp 2.8 is going to suck so much that i might have to find something else :/ | 22:11 |
| _Trinity_ | really the yonah processor is an intel processor | 22:11 |
| _Trinity_ | so really I got burned by buying a pc again | 22:12 |
| lc2 | eh, for almost as long as i've had my own computer i've been running linux, so i'm not really burned by PCs | 22:12 |
| _Trinity_ | well, thank for ansering my questions. I got to move on. I expect to install Xubuntu later today. | 22:13 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: okay :) | 22:14 |
| lc2 | i'm not sure if i even answered your questions but that's okay, hahaha | 22:14 |
| lc2 | have a good day :) | 22:15 |
| LittleItaly | Hello, i dont know why, but after configuring my xorg.conf i have no sound. the only soundi get is beeping when xubuntu boots and turns off | 22:18 |
| TheSheep | !sound | LittleItaly | 22:21 |
| ubottu | LittleItaly: 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/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 22:21 |
| jarmenda | Got a question if I may. Using Xubuntu 9.04. All works well but if I reboot the box I lose the settings for my display refresh rate. Tried using settings/settings editor but can't seem to lock it down. Seems to be a bit more of an XFCE issue. Any general help in the right direction would be great! | 22:25 |
| LittleItaly | what volume control is it talking about TheSheep? | 22:27 |
| TheSheep | LittleItaly: right-click on the panel, select 'add item', scroll down to 'volume control' and drag it onto the panel | 22:44 |
| LittleItaly | i had that and it doesnt show alsa mixer | 22:47 |
| lc2 | jarmenda: hmmm | 22:47 |
| LittleItaly | how did changing my xorg.conf file mess with my sound? | 22:48 |
| lc2 | jarmenda: are you using a CRT | 22:48 |
| lc2 | LittleItaly: it didn't, xorg.conf has nothing to do with sound | 22:48 |
| LittleItaly | is there a command or something to restore default sound settings? cause it was working | 22:48 |
| LittleItaly | or do you think installing the closest alsa driver to my sound card will work | 22:49 |
| lc2 | make sure whatever program you are using is using the proper output driver | 22:52 |
| lc2 | program being music/whatever else program | 22:52 |
| lc2 | that's not directly related to changing your xorg.conf, since X has nothing at all to do with sound | 22:52 |
| _Trinity_ | lc2: say what's the difference between installing the alternate Xubuntu and alternate Ubuntu CD? | 22:54 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: your default window manager | 22:54 |
| LittleItaly | well, i can see that in my sound mixer the output of my ess 1983 is not there anymore | 22:54 |
| _Trinity_ | but doesn't the alternate CD just install a server type install without X? | 22:55 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: i believe so | 22:55 |
| _Trinity_ | so there woul probably be little difference | 22:55 |
| lc2 | _Trinity_: yes | 22:55 |
| _Trinity_ | because that might be my best option for my iMac, a server install and then manuall install a wm over | 22:55 |
| lc2 | LittleItaly: sorry, you'll have to wait around for someone more experienced than me with ubuntu, i don't know how editing your xorg.conf could cause that | 22:56 |
| _Trinity_ | back to my debian days | 22:56 |
| LittleItaly | trying to install alsa, but the make file is not working | 23:53 |
| LittleItaly | and then make install does not work | 23:53 |
| LittleItaly | ./configure works and does its thing | 23:54 |
| psycho_oreos | alsa already comes with xubuntu | 23:54 |
