| xenol | hello | 02:18 |
|---|---|---|
| xenol | i am interested in how does xubuntu deal with displaying battery state notifications | 02:18 |
| xenol | is there any patch for xfce4-power-manager? | 02:19 |
| cody-somerville | xenol, you just need to be running a libnotify compatible notification daemon I think | 02:33 |
| xenol | cody-somerville: when i insert battery or AC it sends notification. tho i am looking for something similar to this | 02:35 |
| xenol | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Specifications/Karmic/NotifyOsd?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=notify-osd-powerinfo-example.png | 02:35 |
| cody-somerville | that wasn't implemented | 02:36 |
| xenol | any patch? | 02:36 |
| xenol | cody-somerville: any patch for it which will implement that feature? | 02:42 |
| cody-somerville | not as far as i know | 02:43 |
| xenol | it works only in crappy ubuntu? | 02:43 |
| xenol | pardon my language though :) | 02:43 |
| sanubuntu | armageddon09: ok, i think i found what you're talking about, looks like the right thing .. i'll have to log out to the other user and try it | 03:22 |
| sanubuntu | thanks | 03:22 |
| pHro | hi | 03:24 |

| antonio_ | it's my screen resolution | 08:08 |
| antonio_ | it's only 800x600 but under win its more than that | 08:08 |
| antonio_ | how can change it | 08:08 |

| antonio_ | j'ai un dell latitude c6OO et je n'arrive pas a changer la resolution de mon ecran | 08:14 |
| antonio_ | a l'aide svp! | 08:14 |
| antonio_ | je suis toujours a l'ecoute hein! | 08:16 |
| Besogon | You use xfce4-display-settings for changing resolution don't you? So If your system has driver for graphics card and you are interested in another resolution you should make xorg.conf | 08:16 |
| antonio_ | the pb is that my xorg.conf file is empty | 08:17 |
| antonio_ | and when i change it | 08:17 |
| antonio_ | it bugs | 08:18 |
| antonio_ | when i restart | 08:18 |
| Besogon | antonio_, xorg.conf is easy to change. | 08:20 |
| antonio_ | i know it is | 08:21 |
| Besogon | !paste | 08:22 |

| antonio_ | and i 've even a file on a forum | 08:23 |
| antonio_ | i copied it and pasted in my xorg.conf file | 08:23 |
| antonio_ | but still nada | 08:23 |
| antonio_ | :( | 08:23 |
| Besogon | This is mine http://paste.ubuntu.com/316685/ | 08:24 |
| Besogon | modelines should be only your own. | 08:25 |
| Besogon | !xorg.conf | 08:26 |

| antonio_ | thbaks a lot | 08:30 |
| antonio_ | i will check and tell you later guys | 08:30 |
| antonio_ | sorry for being so slow my computer is a bit slow i got to add some memory ;D | 08:34 |
| Besogon | What graphic card you have got? (nvidia, ati, intel) | 08:35 |
| antonio_ | intel i think | 08:39 |
| antonio_ | but am not sure | 08:40 |
| antonio_ | how do i check? | 08:40 |
| antonio_ | VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02) | 08:41 |
| antonio_ | isn't the graphic card line? | 08:41 |
| antonio_ | so its NTI and not intel | 08:42 |
| Besogon | !ati | 08:43 |

| messiah | hello, which are the packages i need to install from the terminal in order to listen mp3 and watch youtube videos? i mean the exact name | 12:46 |
| antonio_ | you can download vlc | 12:49 |
| antonio_ | it has all the codecs required | 12:49 |
| antonio_ | i think it sudo apt-get install vlc-nox | 12:50 |
| antonio_ | try this | 12:50 |
| antonio_ | go on the site of VLC u will have the exact command | 12:51 |
| antonio_ | my connexion is very baaaaaaaaaad!!!! | 12:58 |
| _YeahRight | messiah: the codecs are in xubuntu extras package or something | 13:27 |
| wrgb | messiah: the package you need in Synaptic package manager is xubuntu-restricted-extras , this will install mp3 and flash support | 14:33 |
| Carabas | I have the following issue: I set xubuntu to boot into commandline. Now when I start X using the "startx"-command I have no sound in X. When I swich to a tty I can hear what is being played back under X. - Stange. | 15:11 |
| Carabas | Strange. | 15:11 |
| Carabas | Does anyone know how the sound is started in Karmic? I.e.: What scripts, what loads the driver (pulse)? | 15:50 |
| vinnl | Xubuntu doesn't come with PulseAudio | 15:54 |
| vinnl | It uses Alsa I believe | 15:54 |
| Carabas | "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart" results in "command not found". I guess it's pulse. | 16:10 |
| vinnl | Probably because Upstart is used instead of init | 16:11 |
| Carabas | Nevertheless; How do I start it manually? | 16:11 |
| vinnl | And: sorry, don't know yet :( | 16:11 |
| Carabas | jop | 16:11 |
| Carabas | I'd like to read in detail about upstart. | 16:12 |
| vinnl | !upstart | 16:12 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 16:12 |
| cody-somerville | there is no daemon afaik for sound like there is with pulseaudio | 16:12 |
| cody-somerville | you can't "stop and start" sound | 16:12 |
| Carabas | Ah, o.k. | 16:13 |
| Carabas | Thanks ubottu | 16:14 |
| vinnl | He's a bot :) | 16:15 |
| vinnl | !ubottu | 16:15 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #xubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 16:15 |
| vinnl | Anyway, I'm off, bye :) | 16:16 |
| petsounds | hi.. i need help, java applet won't run. http://imagebin.org/71446 :( | 17:46 |
| stevensj | Hi, has anyone used the xserver-xorg-video-openchrome package? Any advice? | 17:47 |
| genii | The advice would be to avoid getting a system with some Via Chrome card in it to begin with | 17:58 |
| rtX_mancer42 | ?? | 18:27 |
| dan_ | Hey there. Can anyone help with my xubuntu laptop screen resolution problem? Resolution is smaller than screen so I have a big black border. | 19:11 |
| dan_ | Only options in display properties are 800x600 and below | 19:11 |
| dan_ | Apparently there's no xorg.conf anymore...? | 19:12 |
| TheSheep | you can still create it and it will be used | 19:15 |
| dan_ | How can I auto generate a new one? tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but nothing happens | 19:17 |
| genii | You don't need a complete one. If you have some stanza set which includes whatever you want to specify for settings you can use just that excerpt | 19:17 |
| dan_ | I need to figure that bit out yet. Really old laptop, intel graphics, not sure of exact model. :\ | 19:19 |
| genii | lspci | grep VGA should tell the model | 19:31 |
| maddonline4352 | hello together.. I'm a xubuntu newbe and i have troubles installing my usb wlan driver... can someone probably help me? | 19:38 |
| _Techie_ | what usb wifi module is it? | 19:40 |
| maddonline4352 | http://www.sitecom.com/support-product/productid/710#drivers | 19:41 |
| maddonline4352 | alternatively i have got a pcmcia card from us robotics USR5411 .. but i think this one is more difficult to install i suppose | 19:42 |
| maddonline4352 | so the first module is WL-608 BL - Wireless USB Adapter 54g by sitecom | 19:43 |
| _Techie_ | have you tried ndiswrapper? | 19:44 |
| madddd223 | but as i am linux newbe... i am not sure if id did everything right | 19:45 |
| madddd223 | :/ | 19:45 |
| _Techie_ | what steps have you tried so far? | 19:46 |
| madddd223 | well i successfully installed the ndiswrapper | 19:46 |
| madddd223 | windows wlan support | 19:46 |
| madddd223 | then i loaded the .inf file | 19:47 |
| madddd223 | which was successful | 19:47 |
| madddd223 | but | 19:47 |
| madddd223 | the device wasn't found | 19:47 |
| _Techie_ | have you removed and re inserted the device? | 19:47 |
| madddd223 | yes! | 19:47 |
| madddd223 | and i also rebooted twice | 19:48 |
| _Techie_ | that answers that question | 19:48 |
| madddd223 | why? | 19:48 |
| _Techie_ | i was about to ask if yuou had tried rebooting | 19:48 |
| madddd223 | ah ok =) | 19:49 |
| madddd223 | well first of all thank you for responding to my issue!! | 19:49 |
| _Techie_ | no problem, unfortunately i cant really help too much as i have had no experience with ndiswrapper, i anything i suggest is just a stab | 19:50 |
| _Techie_ | so* | 19:50 |
| madddd223 | yepp thank u anyways... u are certainlky more experienced than me. as it is the first time i try a linux os | 19:50 |
| _Techie_ | the other alternative is to install the chipset drivers | 19:51 |
| madddd223 | difficult? | 19:51 |
| _Techie_ | there should be guides | 19:51 |
| madddd223 | ok. i just ask u directly, is there any chance of similar linux OS, that could find the wifi drivers automatically? | 19:52 |
| _Pete_ | madddd223: sure, do your own distribution | 19:53 |
| madddd223 | :D | 19:53 |
| _Techie_ | madddd223, http://www.ralinktech.com/license_us.php?n=2&p=0&t=U0wyRnpjMlYwY3k4eU1EQTVMekE0THpJMEwyUnZkMjVzYjJGa01ERTFPVGs0TmpRMk1DNWllakk5UFQweU1EQTVYekE0TWpCZlVsUXlPRGN3WDB4cGJuVjRYMU5VUVY5V01pNHlMakF1TUM1MFlYST1D | 19:53 |
| madddd223 | ok thank u so far... what will be further proceeding? | 19:56 |
| _Techie_ | not sure, i havent bothered to go past that page | 19:56 |
| madddd223 | i just downloaded "2009_0820_RT2870_Linux_STA_V2.2.0.0.tar.bz2" | 19:58 |
| _Techie_ | you will want to unpack that file | 20:00 |
| madddd223 | sure. but is it the right chipset? | 20:01 |
| madddd223 | or should i just give it a try | 20:01 |
| _Techie_ | it should be, i would normally check a lspci but i already know that sitecom have masked the chipset name | 20:01 |
| _Techie_ | lsusb* | 20:01 |
| _Techie_ | anyone wanna buy me one of these? http://www.einfo.co.nz/shop/product_info.php?products_id=10240 | 20:02 |
| marten_ | Is there a way to revert my computer to the state it was, say, yesterday? I cant find anything about it anywhere, strangely enough | 20:02 |
| _Techie_ | marten_, as far as i know, *buntu doesnt have any time machine software or system restore | 20:03 |
| marten_ | How sad | 20:03 |
| marten_ | The update to 9.10 didn't go as smoothly as I hoped | 20:04 |
| _Techie_ | haha, join the club | 20:04 |
| madddd223 | techie.. thank you so far... i will give it a try | 20:04 |
| marten_ | My laptop isn't a laptop anymore, since I need to use an external mouse. No sound either, for that matter | 20:05 |
| marten_ | I could of course use Vista, but i rather not | 20:05 |
| _Techie_ | marten_, sounds more like a brick | 20:06 |
| _Techie_ | marten_, and if you install vista it will become a cement truck | 20:06 |
| marten_ | I dualboot, so its already there | 20:06 |
| _Techie_ | why not dualboot XP | 20:07 |
| marten_ | The updater said something about a partial installation of upgrades. Is there any way to see if I got everything intended? | 20:07 |
| marten_ | Great, the colors are wrong playing videos | 20:08 |
| marten_ | I dont have XP on disc, unfortunately | 20:10 |
| marten_ | Otherwise, is there a way to run the 9.10-update again? | 20:15 |
| _Techie_ | marten_, im not entirely sure but perhaps sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade might do the trick | 20:17 |
| marten_ | Will try | 20:17 |
| marten_ | No | 20:18 |
| marten_ | It seems to think that everything is there | 20:18 |
| marten_ | I will have to fix this another day | 20:18 |
| marten_ | Thanks for everything | 20:18 |
| Balsaq | _Techie_wauup | 20:48 |
| Balsaq | wassup i meant | 20:48 |
| alienkid10 | I followed the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch but I don't get a boot menu like on the offical liveCD how can I get a boot menu not a prompt? | 20:49 |
| Balsaq | same here! | 20:50 |
| Balsaq | i think we have to go into bios and change the boot order? | 20:50 |
| alienkid10 | no | 20:50 |
| alienkid10 | I can get the disc to boot | 20:50 |
| Balsaq | i cannot | 20:50 |
| alienkid10 | but can't get a menu | 20:50 |
| alienkid10 | then yes | 20:50 |
| alienkid10 | you have to go to BIOS | 20:50 |
| alienkid10 | I test in Vbox | 20:50 |
| Balsaq | hmmmm...didnt want to mess around in there, this particular computer has a nice xp install on it | 20:51 |
| Balsaq | when i go in, it tap f2 a lot to get a menu? | 20:52 |
| alienkid10 | then boot off CD | 20:52 |
| Balsaq | can i boot off cd without messin round in bios? | 20:53 |
| alienkid10 | depends | 20:53 |
| Balsaq | do i start by tapping f2 or f12 | 20:53 |
| alienkid10 | just change the boot order | 20:53 |
| alienkid10 | I use Vbox to test CD before burn | 20:53 |
| alienkid10 | depends | 20:53 |
| Balsaq | i already burned it so i got what i got now | 20:53 |
| alienkid10 | I don't know your BIOS/computer so I can't help with BIOS specific problems | 20:54 |
| Balsaq | weel i have a few of these and they all booted ubuntu stuff before no prob | 20:55 |
| Balsaq | but they were clean before i booted buntu..the hd had been wiped clean | 20:55 |
| Balsaq | this has xp on it | 20:55 |
| alienkid10 | wait | 20:56 |
| alienkid10 | what exactly is your problem? | 20:56 |
| Balsaq | i put cd in trey (one i just made of xubuntu) and am trying to run xubuntu fro the cd...in my xp computer and have not been able to get it going as of yet | 20:57 |
| Balsaq | want to run a live cd as they say without touching-harming xp | 20:57 |
| _Techie_ | alienkid10, try re installing grub, i have had similar problems in persistant USB installs where grub defaults to its command line | 20:57 |
| alienkid10 | how? | 20:57 |
| alienkid10 | on the CD? | 20:58 |
| _Techie_ | yeah | 20:58 |
| alienkid10 | (.iso) | 20:58 |
| _Techie_ | there should be a command grub-install | 20:58 |
| Guest20454 | !it | 20:58 |
| ubottu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 20:58 |
| alienkid10 | in a chroot? | 20:58 |
| Guest20454 | bene!! | 20:58 |
| _Techie_ | Balsaq, run the wubi installer, install it inside of windows then you can remove it at your will | 20:59 |
| Balsaq | oh ok...thought i could just toss it in t here and run it | 21:00 |
| _Techie_ | yeah you can, but the wubi install will give a faster system than a livecd | 21:00 |
| Balsaq | just wanted too see if i burned it correctly...made it for my sister | 21:00 |
| Balsaq | already have a nice xubu set up in the basement | 21:01 |
| Balsaq | when i burned it i chose ISO image and set my burn speed to 8x | 21:01 |
| Balsaq | so hopefully thats correct | 21:02 |
| alienkid10 | I ran grub-install in chroot now resquash and iso? | 21:02 |
| alienkid10 | _Techie_? | 21:12 |
| _Techie_ | huh | 21:12 |
| alienkid10 | I ran grub-install in chroot now resquash and iso? | 21:12 |
| _Techie_ | i would think so | 21:12 |
| _Techie_ | the other alternative is syslinux | 21:12 |
| alienkid10 | whoops | 21:13 |
| _Techie_ | http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/The_Syslinux_Project | 21:13 |
| alienkid10 | I think I am using isolinux | 21:13 |
| _Techie_ | then read up on this | 21:14 |
| _Techie_ | http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/ISOLINUX | 21:14 |
| alienkid10 | y tree is: casper install and isolinux | 21:14 |
| alienkid10 | so yeah | 21:14 |
| alienkid10 | where do I get isolinux.bin and .cfg? | 21:15 |
| _Techie_ | no clue, never worked with isolinux other than booting livecd's | 21:16 |
| _Techie_ | you might want to look for some more help in #syslinux | 21:16 |
| alienkid10 | ok | 21:17 |
