[16:09] <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
[16:15] <Sysi> !grub2
[16:15] <Sysi> see that, z0man
[16:19] <z0man> Thx Sysi
[16:55] <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?
[16:58] <TheSheep> JaymesKeller: is it bluetooth?
[16:59] <JaymesKeller> TheSheep: No, USB.
[17:01] <TheSheep> JaymesKeller: lsusb shows it?
[17:02] <JaymesKeller> TheSheep: It picks it up as Microsoft Corp.
[17:02] <TheSheep> ok, let's move up
[17:02] <JaymesKeller> Okay
[17:05] <TheSheep> try 'alsamixer' and see if it's there
[17:05] <TheSheep> maybe it's just muted
[17:07] <JaymesKeller> TheSheep: It seems to be picking my soundcard, can't see a way to look at the alsa settings of the headset
[17:10] <TheSheep> try alsmaixer -c 1
[17:10] <TheSheep> alsamixer
[17:11] <JaymesKeller> TheSheep: Got it. The control for "Speaker" has 00 underneath it.
[17:11] <TheSheep> :)
[17:12] <TheSheep> xubuntu sometimes defaults to muted after startup, for some reason
[17:12] <JaymesKeller> TheSheep: So, 00 means muted?
[17:13] <JaymesKeller> Ah, no. MM means muted, not OO.
[17:14] <TheSheep> ah, it was OO
[17:14] <TheSheep> then that's not it
[17:15] <TheSheep> !usb
[17:15] <TheSheep> hmm
[17:15] <TheSheep> !audio
[17:19] <JaymesKeller> Okay.
[17:21] <JaymesKeller> Just had a thought. What sound server comes with Xubuntu by default?
[17:22] <JaymesKeller> And it seems to work with the PCI soundcard, not with my headset.
[20:41] <EagleScreen> how much disk space uses a fresh xubuntu installation?
[20:42] <Sysi> i've had xubuntu installed in 4gb
[20:42] <Sysi> but that's bit thight
[20:43] <EagleScreen> my laptop only has 4 GB od disk space
[21:03] <hyperhacker> hey, how can I get the GRUB prompt in x86 9.10? I only see "GRUB loading" and then it boots
[21:04] <TheSheep> hyperhacker: comment out the HIDDEN_ variables in /etc/defaults/grub and run sudo update-grun
[21:04] <TheSheep> sudo update-grub
[21:05] <hyperhacker> I don't seem to have an /etc/defaults/grub file
[21:06] <ochosi> without the "s"
[21:06] <ochosi> it's actually /etc/default/grub
[21:07] <hyperhacker> ok, thanks
[21:07] <ochosi> np
[21:08] <Eaaaa> hello
[21:09] <Eaaaa> anyone know how much disk space uses a default Xubuntu installation?
[21:10] <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 :)
[21:11] <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
[21:12] <bbhatt> tried xrandr, couldn't get it to work
[21:13] <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
[21:15] <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
[21:16] <bbhatt> when I go to display I see screen 1 at 1920x1080
[21:17] <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' ?
[21:18] <bbhatt> wow.
[21:18] <bbhatt> that kinda worked
[21:19] <TheSheep> I always have it bound to some key
[21:19] <bbhatt> I'm seeing the 1920x1080 mirrored in both
[21:20] <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
[21:21] <bbhatt> lspci | grep VGA : 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[21:22] <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
[21:23] <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
[21:25] <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
[21:26] <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?
[21:27] <HeaVenGh0st> thanks
[21:27] <TheSheep> bbhatt: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12#II.5.Placingoutputsinavirtualscreen

[21:30] <HeaVenGh0st> anybody?
[21:30] <HeaVenGh0st> hyperhacker?
[21:31] <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
[21:32] <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
[21:33] <HeaVenGh0st> hyperhacker: could you please help
[21:33] <hyperhacker> did the mouse work when you booted Xubuntu the first time?
[21:33] <HeaVenGh0st> yes
[21:34] <hyperhacker> go to the terminal and try renaming the file, like sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/_xorg.conf
[21:35] <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
[21:36] <HeaVenGh0st> yes done
[21:36] <HeaVenGh0st> after that
[21:36] <hyperhacker> rename the file and reboot
[21:37] <HeaVenGh0st> ok its getting restarted

[23:24] <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.
[23:29] <TheSheep> just add them back
[23:29] <TheSheep> xfce4-panel -r   might help too
[23:29] <TheSheep> from alt+f2
