[00:47] <titan_ark> can anyone help me set up mic settings in alsa?
[00:47] <titan_ark> i have done it before but cant seem to get it to work now after a fresh ubuntu install
[00:49] <gottto> are you using   alsamixer   in terminal?
[00:49] <titan_ark> yes
[00:50] <titan_ark> gottto, I noticed that in the capture it should show something like "CAPTURE" and below it "L R" but its not like that now
[00:52] <gottto> what does   amixer   say about the card?
[00:54] <titan_ark> gottto, :) ah got it to work
[00:54] <titan_ark> thanks anyway :)
[00:54] <gottto> k

[00:55] <gottto> hehe luck :)
[00:55] <titan_ark> hehe :) thanks
[02:10] <hexdump_> Achtung!  I'm running into a problem with scribd trying to view pdf files.  When I try to read them, they show up nothing but white.
[02:11] <hexdump_> If anybody has encountered a similar issue please message me when you get a chance.  thanks
[02:11] <gottto> hexdump_: Achtung!  using Achtung won't help much :)
[02:12] <hexdump_> gottto:  just was playin around
[02:12] <hexdump_> got your attention didn't it.
[02:12] <gottto> and lost it too...
[02:12] <hexdump_> lol
[02:12] <hexdump_> nice
[02:13] <hexdump_> you actually haven't ran into that problem though I take it.
[02:16] <hexdump_> gotto:  do have any ideas what it might be?  It says javascript void when I try to download the file but that could be a couple things.
 got your attention didn't it.
 and lost it too...
[02:17] <hexdump_> gottto:  ok but really do you have any thoughts regarding the issue I'm having?
[02:17] <hexdump_> gottto:  you don't have to elaborate too much, just figured you might have somewhat of an idea.
[02:21] <hexdump_> gottto:  must be fun being rude.  Here is an example of what normal people do.  "Sorry man I wish I could help but I really haven't run into that problem before"
[02:42] <Aquina> Well that's true somehow, but this is IRC and people are free to idle an answer only at random.
[02:42] <Aquina> hexdump why don't you try a diffrent viewer like evince or KGhostView?
[02:54] <hexdump_> Aquina:  sorry I didn't reply swiftly I was trying to help someone out real quick.  you say try KGhostView
[02:54] <hexdump_> Aquina:  won't conflict with current firefox plugins?
[02:57] <hexdump_> Aquina:  thanks for the info :)
[03:03] <Aquina> Aehm. I don't think so.
[03:05] <Aquina> Try:
[03:05] <Aquina> sudo apt-cache depends kghostview
[03:05] <Aquina> sudo dpkg -L kghostview
[03:06] <Aquina> Remeber that KGhostview is for KDE and you need to install some KDE libraries and stuff. Evince was written for GNOME and probably requires less dependencies to be satisfied resulting in less installed packets and thus less drive space required.
[03:06] <Aquina> :-)
[03:06] <Aquina> good night!
[03:09] <hexdump_> ah aquinia ghost script was already installed
[06:06] <Balsaq> good morning.
[09:20] <homebrewcider> if I was trying to loin and that was failing and taking me back to the login screen, where wouuld a log of that be please?
[09:21] <gottto>  /var/log/Xorg.0.log homebrewcider
[09:22] <homebrewcider> checking thanks
[09:24] <homebrewcider> how can I tell what part has failed? any clues?
[09:24] <gottto> homebrewcider: look for lines that start with   WW
[09:25] <homebrewcider> aha
[09:25] <gottto> they were a terrible band...
[09:26] <homebrewcider> yes they were
[09:26] <homebrewcider> I'll have dinner and then check it out, thanks
[09:26] <gottto> np
[09:50] <homebrewcider> if I pastebin, can you check something out for me please?
[09:50] <_Techie_> !ask
[09:51] <gottto> homebrewcider: sure
[09:51] <homebrewcider> http://pastebin.com/R6QagVfM      that is teh section of the log containing WW errors
[09:53] <gottto> homebrewcider: nothing there to suggest why it fails
[09:54] <gottto> can you paste it all?
[09:55] <homebrewcider> http://pastebin.com/zquPy6mf
[09:55] <homebrewcider> that's all of it
[09:55] <gottto> k
[09:57] <gottto> homebrewcider: that all seems ok - I don't use a *dm but there should be a gdm log - any errors in that?
[09:58] <homebrewcider> just a question first, I took a number of tries before successfully getting in, the log I pasted, does that include the failed attempts or just the successful one?
[09:59] <gottto> homebrewcider: it showed no signs of a failure
[10:00] <gottto> maybe Xorg.1.log shows the failure
[10:01] <homebrewcider> http://pastebin.com/YSiW2Knd
[10:03] <gottto> homebrewcider: line 200 - EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! Please ensure
[10:04] <gottto> it couldn't find the module for some reason
[10:04] <homebrewcider> hmmm
[10:04] <homebrewcider> but it found it now obviously
[10:05] <gottto> homebrewcider: you say you keep trying to log in and eventually it works?
[10:05] <gottto> yes
[10:05] <homebrewcider> sometimes, yesterday I had about 30 goes at it and just gave up and logged in as root, but i don't want to have the do that all the time
[10:07] <gottto> homebrewcider: seems odd - my first thought is ailing hd
[10:07] <gottto> or mb or cable or...
[10:08] <gottto> homebrewcider: is it the propriety driver?
[10:09] <homebrewcider> http://pastebin.com/CDemXASF this bit has intrigued me....generic lcd display... then further down....CRT
[10:10] <homebrewcider> 185.18.36-0ubuntu9 driver nvidia
[10:10] <gottto> that's ok - happens some times - I have a lcd that the log calls a crt
[10:10] <homebrewcider> the recommended one
[10:12] <gottto> I would try moving xorg.conf to xorg.conf.backup and logging in to see what X works out for itself
[10:15] <homebrewcider> that would be something like mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup wouldn't it?
[10:15] <gottto> yep
[10:16] <gottto> with sudo
[10:17] <homebrewcider> ok here foes
[10:17] <homebrewcider> goes
[10:18] <gottto> luck
[10:26] <homebrewcider> took about 12 tries
[10:27] <gottto> check the .1 log for the same error then
[10:28] <gottto> homebrewcider: have you changed permissions on anything in X perhaps?
[10:28] <homebrewcider> same
[10:28] <homebrewcider> no that I'm aware of
[10:28] <homebrewcider> I'd have to say no
[10:28] <homebrewcider> i got in this time with lower res
[10:28] <gottto> I'm out of software ideas then sorry
[10:29] <homebrewcider> ok, i'm trying something, back in a mo
[10:42] <homebrewcider> thanx for your help gotto, I'll keep an eye onit, maybe I'll ask in nvidia
[10:42] <gottto> ther's not an onboard graphics card that hasn't been disabled in the bios matbe?
[10:42] <gottto> or maybe even
[10:42] <homebrewcider> no
[10:43] <gottto> k
[10:43] <homebrewcider> thanks again
[10:44] <homebrewcider> have a good one
[10:44] <gottto> you too
[15:15] <slow-motion> hi
[15:16] <gottto> hello slow-motion
[15:17] <slow-motion> hi gottto
[17:24] <S0210> The font size of the top menu labels in my Firefox is bigger than in any other application (Opera, Thunderbird, Abiword, etc.) I have no idea why? Any suggestion what to check?
[17:26] <S0210> I mean the "File, Edit, ..." menu labels.
[17:53] <TheSheep> S0210: that's because firefox doesn't really use gtk, it draws them by itself
[17:53] <TheSheep> S0210: I think you can set them in about:config somewhere
[19:10] <slow-motion> bye
[20:03] <Decco> Anyone here available to help for sound issues on xubuntu 9.10?
[20:03] <Sysi> what's up
[20:03]  * Aquina using 8.04
[20:04] <Sysi> hmm, i only have 10.04
[20:04] <Decco> Well, I just installed xubuntu 9.10 on a partition and i can't seem to get the sound working at all. I installed the software package to listen to mp3s and still not sound
[20:04] <Decco> I  know my speakers work because i was using them with xp about an hour ago
[20:04] <Aquina> Did you follow the help delivered with xubuntu?
[20:04] <Sysi> hane you checked everything unmuten?
[20:05] <Decco> Yes, everything appears to be unmuted from the pannel at the top right
[20:06] <Decco> I was looking through the help that was delivered with xubuntu but it seems to refer me here and or ubuntu official forums. Would the official ubuntu make a huge difference from xubntu problems such as sound related ones?
[20:07] <Sysi> no, it's all same on that level
[20:07] <Decco> Search on google regarding this issues tells me to go to system/preferences/sound... I can not find this on xubuntu. Any suggestions?
[20:08] <charlie-tca> double click the speaker
[20:08] <charlie-tca> set the controls you want, then make sure nothing is muted.
[20:08] <charlie-tca> then right click the speaker, left click properties, set the master volume control
[20:11] <Decco> ok did that umuted that wasnt already muted and still no sound
[20:12] <Sysi> pcm and master unmuted?
[20:12] <Decco> correct
[20:12] <charlie-tca> more help is available in #ubuntu-audio-help, which is where crimsun and the audio gang hang out
[20:13] <Decco> thank you
[20:13] <Sysi> there is endless number buntu channels..
[20:14] <charlie-tca> yup
[20:14] <charlie-tca> and an even greater number that are not ubuntu specific
[20:22] <Aquina> :-)
[20:29] <deluxo> Hi. Compiz + emerald in Xubuntu works not properly with 2.6.31-20 kernel. Please help me, thanks in advance
[20:30] <deluxo> Hi. Compiz + emerald in Xubuntu works not properly with 2.6.31-20 kernel. Please help me, thanks in advance
[20:30] <charlie-tca> Isn't that Xubuntu 9.10?
[20:31] <deluxo> yep
[20:31] <charlie-tca> I think it don't work, does it?
[20:32] <deluxo> well, xubuntu works fine but decorations missing
[20:32] <Sysi> see compiz settings
[20:32] <deluxo> in kernel ...31-14 decorations works perfectly
[20:32] <Sysi> that's weird
[20:33] <deluxo> thats why i came here...
[20:33] <Sysi> i had to start it twice always on jaunty
[20:33] <deluxo> compiz??
[20:33] <Sysi> compiz --replace twice
[20:34] <deluxo> doesnt do a thing...
[20:34] <deluxo> tried already
[20:34] <Sysi> do you have compiz settingsmanager?
[20:34] <deluxo> ye
[20:37] <deluxo> have no clue right?
[20:49] <deluxo> am... guys?
[20:50] <deluxo> if its too hard to help then dont bother, maybe i'll make it out...
[20:53] <charlie-tca> yeah, I think insulting the individual tryin to help you was not so good.
[20:54] <deluxo> did i? then sorry, havent noticed it myself, realy honestly sorry
 have no clue right?
[20:56] <deluxo> ye.. it may sound not quite friendly.... I Apologize
[21:01] <deluxo> I guess no tek help today for me... :(
[21:05] <knome> deluxo, you might try running (alt+f2) xfwm4
[21:06] <deluxo> that shoud bring me back to xfwm4 compositions?
[21:07] <knome> so you are with compiz?
[21:08] <deluxo> now - yes, because i use 31-14 kernel
[21:08] <deluxo> but in kernel 31-20 emerald wont decorate windows
[21:09] <knome> deluxo, so it's because of a kernel change?
[21:09] <deluxo> think so..
[21:09] <deluxo> in 31-14 no bugs at all...
[21:09] <knome> deluxo, i'd advise to boot with the older kernel and wait for the next update :)
[21:10] <deluxo> ye... i thought so too
[21:10] <knome> probably the easiest, and it sounds like it's going to be fixed in the next kernel. if not, then come back again
[21:10] <deluxo> ok! Thanks for help guys
[21:11] <knome> deluxo, you're welcome. enjoy xubuntu
[21:11] <deluxo> i do :)
[21:12] <deluxo> xfce a lot faster than gnome
[21:12] <knome> it is
[21:13] <deluxo> gotta go.. thanks for help n Bye!
