[19:04] <frem> Hello. I'm trying to use two monitors to display my desktop, but I only see "Screen 1" in the XFCE display settings.
[19:05] <Sysi> have you logged out and back in?
[19:05] <frem> Several times.
[19:05] <Sysi> what video card?
[19:05] <frem> Intel X3100 GMA
[19:07] <frem> I set different desktop wallpaper on each screen (the wallpaper manager sees both of them), and if I log in with my external monitor unplugged, I get the wallpaper for my laptop's screen. If I log in with the external monitor plugged in, it defaults to using the max resolution and wallpaper of the external monitor on both screens.
[19:08] <frem> I don't have an xorg.conf file, either. X.org is apparently running on autopilot.
[19:09] <frem> (...and I should probably mention that I'm using 9.10 beta. But I had this issue with 9.04 as well.)
[19:21] <Besogon> What is the decision to resolve problem "Sound turn off with boot".  I have found that my autostart had string like Exec=pactl load-module module-x11-xsmp, but my ubunntu haven't that module. Command "alsactl init" helps, but I think If it right way?
[20:20] <furyinsane> need help: my system doesn't display "network" when i click "places". why?
[21:32] <jarnos> Where can I get list of packages included in Xubuntu default installation?
[22:32] <adri_> The screen brightness control in "Power management" does not work. I'm using an ASUS Laptop (M70sa)
[23:34] <adri_> I'm new to ubuntu so I do not know what part of Xubuntu takes care of this. What controls the screen brightness?
[23:35] <masterfu> how do i enable desktop effects with compiz
[23:35] <ochosi> masterfu, install the compiz packages, go to the terminal and enter "compiz --replace"
[23:37] <masterfu> and how do i upgrade to xubuntu 9.04 with 4gb of hard disk space?
[23:38] <ochosi> masterfu, reformulate your question. what exactly is the problem with 4gb of hdd space?
[23:39] <masterfu> i have 8.10 now, upgraded from 8.04 before
[23:39] <masterfu> but now i want go to 9.04
[23:39] <masterfu> but it wont upgrade because the update manager says i have not enought space
[23:40] <masterfu> 1.15gb space left and xubuntu needs 1.5 gb space i think
[23:40] <ochosi> right, so you have a total of 4gb but only 1.15 of it is free?
[23:40] <masterfu> yep
[23:41] <masterfu> my laptop total hard disk space is 40 gb
[23:41] <masterfu> but i give 32 gb to windows
[23:41] <masterfu> and i give xubuntu 4gb
[23:41] <ochosi> so is there no way you could release 500mb for the upgrade? (like: temporarily move stuff to external media)
[23:41] <masterfu> today i upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04, and now i tried to go to 9.04
[23:42] <masterfu> i dont know how i m new to this OS
[23:43] <ochosi> well if you haven't made many changes to the system you could just as well do a fresh install of 9.04
[23:43] <masterfu> that means i have to backup stuff in my windows partition right?
[23:44] <masterfu> cause the best way to duel boot windows and xubuntu is reformat my whole harddisk
[23:44] <ochosi> no, you can just do a fresh install of xubuntu 9.04 on that partition where 8.10 resides now. the rest wouldn't be touched
[23:44] <ochosi> why would you reformat your whole harddisk?
[23:45] <masterfu> i tried to just install xubuntu on my ex3 partition
[23:45] <masterfu> but i want to keep all my data fom the old install
[23:46] <masterfu> also my harddisk seems to have problems when i clean out the ex3 paritition
[23:47] <ochosi> sry, you have to be more specific ("problems" - what problems? etc)
[23:47] <masterfu> its a laptop i brought in 2006
[23:47] <masterfu> and my hard disk seems to be corrupted for unknown reasons
[23:48] <ochosi> well, you can always back up your data and reformat the whole drive
[23:48] <ochosi> maybe that helps with the corruption issues
[23:48] <masterfu> when i reformat the ex3 partition, it cleans the xubuntu installation and wont let me install a new system again
[23:49] <ochosi> but anyways i gotta go now, hopefully there's someone else here who can help you
[23:49] <masterfu> ok thx
[23:49] <masterfu> bye
[23:49] <ochosi> bye
