| z0man | Silly noob question.... Where is menu.lst in a | 16:09 |
| z0man | ... in karmic version of xubuntu | 16:09 |
| z0man | It does not appear to be in the usual place /boot | 16:09 |
| Sysi | !grub2 | 16:15 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 16:15 |
| Sysi | see that, z0man | 16:15 |
| z0man | Thx Sysi | 16:19 |
| JaymesKeller | Hi, I have a minor sound problem. I'm using a Microsoft LiveChat LX-3000 headset. I'm not getting any sound from it. What could be wrong? | 16:55 |
| TheSheep | JaymesKeller: is it bluetooth? | 16:58 |
| JaymesKeller | TheSheep: No, USB. | 16:59 |
| TheSheep | JaymesKeller: lsusb shows it? | 17:01 |
| JaymesKeller | TheSheep: It picks it up as Microsoft Corp. | 17:02 |
| TheSheep | ok, let's move up | 17:02 |
| JaymesKeller | Okay | 17:02 |
| TheSheep | try 'alsamixer' and see if it's there | 17:05 |
| TheSheep | maybe it's just muted | 17:05 |
| JaymesKeller | TheSheep: It seems to be picking my soundcard, can't see a way to look at the alsa settings of the headset | 17:07 |
| TheSheep | try alsmaixer -c 1 | 17:10 |
| TheSheep | alsamixer | 17:10 |
| JaymesKeller | TheSheep: Got it. The control for "Speaker" has 00 underneath it. | 17:11 |
| TheSheep | :) | 17:11 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu sometimes defaults to muted after startup, for some reason | 17:12 |
| JaymesKeller | TheSheep: So, 00 means muted? | 17:12 |
| JaymesKeller | Ah, no. MM means muted, not OO. | 17:13 |
| TheSheep | ah, it was OO | 17:14 |
| TheSheep | then that's not it | 17:14 |
| TheSheep | !usb | 17:15 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 17:15 |
| TheSheep | hmm | 17:15 |
| TheSheep | !audio | 17:15 |
| ubottu | 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 | 17:15 |
| JaymesKeller | Okay. | 17:19 |
| JaymesKeller | Just had a thought. What sound server comes with Xubuntu by default? | 17:21 |
| JaymesKeller | And it seems to work with the PCI soundcard, not with my headset. | 17:22 |

| EagleScreen | how much disk space uses a fresh xubuntu installation? | 20:41 |
| Sysi | i've had xubuntu installed in 4gb | 20:42 |
| Sysi | but that's bit thight | 20:42 |
| EagleScreen | my laptop only has 4 GB od disk space | 20:43 |
| hyperhacker | hey, how can I get the GRUB prompt in x86 9.10? I only see "GRUB loading" and then it boots | 21:03 |
| TheSheep | hyperhacker: comment out the HIDDEN_ variables in /etc/defaults/grub and run sudo update-grun | 21:04 |
| TheSheep | sudo update-grub | 21:04 |
| hyperhacker | I don't seem to have an /etc/defaults/grub file | 21:05 |
| ochosi | without the "s" | 21:06 |
| ochosi | it's actually /etc/default/grub | 21:06 |
| hyperhacker | ok, thanks | 21:07 |
| ochosi | np | 21:07 |
| Eaaaa | hello | 21:08 |
| Eaaaa | anyone know how much disk space uses a default Xubuntu installation? | 21:09 |
| Sysi | you just asked? | 21:10 |
| hyperhacker | mine is using 2.6GB after installing a few things, so probably around 2.3, 2.4 | 21:10 |
| Sysi | well, different nick | 21:10 |
| Eaaaa | yes | 21:10 |
| hyperhacker | if I get my other box to boot I'll check | 21:10 |
| TheSheep | if you ask enough times, someone is going to eventually give you the answer you like, although it might be untrue :) | 21:10 |
| bbhatt | hey, new to ubuntu, trying to get external monitor to work with my laptop | 21:11 |
| bbhatt | I've been messing around with xorg.conf with little success | 21:11 |
| Eaaaa | bbhatt: use xrandr | 21:11 |
| bbhatt | tried xrandr, couldn't get it to work | 21:12 |
| hyperhacker | bbhatt, you've probably tried this already, but some laptops don't like to use external monitors unless you reboot with it plugged in | 21:13 |
| bbhatt | I've rebooted with it plugged in | 21:15 |
| bbhatt | right now I have gotten rid of the xorg.conf file | 21:15 |
| bbhatt | letting the it decide what to do by itsel | 21:15 |
| bbhatt | f | 21:15 |
| bbhatt | and I can only use my external display | 21:15 |
| bbhatt | when I go to display I see screen 1 at 1920x1080 | 21:16 |
| bbhatt | if I make the resolution smaller than that of my laptop I see the desktop mirrored on both displays | 21:17 |
| bbhatt | any ideas? | 21:17 |
| TheSheep | 'xrandr --auto' ? | 21:17 |
| bbhatt | wow. | 21:18 |
| bbhatt | that kinda worked | 21:18 |
| TheSheep | I always have it bound to some key | 21:19 |
| bbhatt | I'm seeing the 1920x1080 mirrored in both | 21:19 |
| TheSheep | what graphics card do you use? | 21:20 |
| bbhatt | it's a dell inspiron 1545, so whatever is onbard | 21:20 |
| bbhatt | onboard | 21:20 |
| Sysi | you should be able to do it wih --above | 21:20 |
| Sysi | *with | 21:20 |
| TheSheep | lspci | grep VGA | 21:20 |
| Sysi | !xrandr | 21:20 |
| ubottu | XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 21:20 |
| bbhatt | lspci | grep VGA : 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) | 21:21 |
| TheSheep | ugh, why does it always have to be intel? :( | 21:22 |
| Sysi | merely intel than ati | 21:22 |
| bbhatt | hah it's a really cheap machine | 21:22 |
| HeaVenGh0st | hi... can anyone tell me how to edit xorg.conf in command prompt at ubuntu | 21:22 |
| TheSheep | could have bin sis ;) | 21:22 |
| hyperhacker | HeaVenGh0st, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:22 |
| Sysi | xrandr --output VGA --abowe-of LVDS | 21:22 |
| HeaVenGh0st | i messed up with that file and could load my ubuntu now | 21:23 |
| Sysi | i'm not sure about that | 21:23 |
| HeaVenGh0st | couldn't | 21:23 |
| Sysi | but something like that should work, bbhatt | 21:23 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: I tried that and it does nothing | 21:23 |
| HeaVenGh0st | how to save after editing | 21:25 |
| HeaVenGh0st | ? | 21:25 |
| HeaVenGh0st | hyperhacker? | 21:25 |
| bbhatt | Sysi: I've been playing around with the --left-of and --right-of | 21:25 |
| bbhatt | no luck so far | 21:25 |
| hyperhacker | HeaVenGh0st, Ctrl+O is save, Ctrl+X is save and exit | 21:25 |
| bbhatt | xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS just returns the xrandr options | 21:26 |
| TheSheep | bbhatt: it seems like you have to configure a virtual screen large enough to fit both screens in it first | 21:26 |
| HeaVenGh0st | and how to restart the system ? | 21:26 |
| hyperhacker | HeaVenGh0st, sudo reboot | 21:26 |
| HeaVenGh0st | hyperhacker: you are a star! top man | 21:26 |
| bbhatt | TheSheep: in xorg.conf? | 21:26 |
| HeaVenGh0st | thanks | 21:27 |

| HeaVenGh0st | mouse is not working but keyboard does | 21:29 |
| HeaVenGh0st | anybody? | 21:30 |
| HeaVenGh0st | hyperhacker? | 21:30 |
| hyperhacker | you can see the login screen? | 21:31 |
| HeaVenGh0st | yes.. it asked me for login first and then password.. but after password nothing happens | 21:31 |
| hyperhacker | then probably the issue is not with Xorg as it's displaying OK | 21:32 |
| HeaVenGh0st | my mouse is not working at all | 21:32 |
| HeaVenGh0st | but it works fine in winxp | 21:32 |
| HeaVenGh0st | hyperhacker: could you please help | 21:33 |
| hyperhacker | did the mouse work when you booted Xubuntu the first time? | 21:33 |
| HeaVenGh0st | yes | 21:33 |
| hyperhacker | go to the terminal and try renaming the file, like sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/_xorg.conf | 21:34 |
| HeaVenGh0st | ok | 21:35 |
| HeaVenGh0st | but i m stuck at login screen | 21:35 |
| HeaVenGh0st | how to go at teminal from there? | 21:35 |
| hyperhacker | Ctrl+Alt+F1 | 21:35 |
| HeaVenGh0st | yes done | 21:36 |

| Quadrescence | Can I refresh the xfce panels in any way? Some of the panel items seem to have disappeared as a result of memory consumption (which is now okay). I prefer not to have to restart X entirely or close any of my applications. | 23:24 |
| TheSheep | just add them back | 23:29 |
| TheSheep | xfce4-panel -r might help too | 23:29 |
| TheSheep | from alt+f2 | 23:29 |
