[03:11] <Dracari> i've had this issues with runing SimTower under the latest dev of wine where on the AppDV it has a platnium rating w/ sound issues and installer issues http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=8232 atm i cant get my xubuntu lucid lynix to let wine compile
[03:11] <Dracari> as io was suggested to regression test this
[03:12] <Dracari> atm on 1.2 DEVEL wine. second you launch SimTower Winevdm.exe crashes
[03:13] <Dracari> this Game is old... and i Mean old like Windows 3.11 Old
[04:19] <loki00> Installing xubuntu on my Dwll Mini 10 (1010) Want to dual boot and preserve the Dell Restore partition. I have a turtorial but need a bit of advice.
[04:19] <loki00> wow my spelling is questionable in the first post -Sorry
[04:34] <rosalind> ok so I installed Xubuntu 9.10 on this brand new computer, and the sound doesnt work
[04:34] <rosalind> I removed pusle audio,
[04:35] <rosalind> the mixer shows my sound card, and I turned up all the controls but no luck
[04:37] <rosalind> alsamixergui says its a Intel G45 DEVIBX
[04:40] <David-A> rosalind: removed pulseaudio? didnt that remove a lot of other programs depending on it? if really not removed, see in mixer settings if pulsaudio exists and if it is muted there?
[04:43] <rosalind> David-A, yeah I removed it, sound wasn't working before I removed it, and I've fixed the sound on computer w/ Ubuntu before by removing pulse-audio
[04:43] <rosalind> so I thought I would remove it
[04:49] <rosalind> yeah strange
[04:49] <rosalind> can't get the sound to work
[04:50] <rosalind> Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
[04:50] <rosalind> that is what lspci gives me
[04:50] <rosalind> I have tried turning up alsa, master, pcs, pulse audio
[04:53] <David-A> rosalind: in the mixer settings, in the sound system dropdown box, has "pulseaudo" disappeared there? if not, if you select it, and maybe select a control for master or similar, is it muted? (it often on my eeepc)
[05:47] <Balsaq> Citizens of Xubuntu, Its a long way to the top if you wanna rock-n-roll.
[07:35] <s73v3r> So I had an install of Xubuntu 8.04, that I've upgraded using the tool to 9.10. Now, I'm unable to use mplayer to convert ac3 audio to wav
[07:35] <s73v3r> I've enabled the medibuntu repositories, and downloaded a new ffmpeg from there, but still no dice
[07:35] <s73v3r> I keep getting a "could not connect to socket" error
[08:33] <xnub> gah, need help... I totally busted my xubuntu install, and not sure how to fix it.
[08:34] <moetunes> xnub: what do you call busted?
[08:34] <xnub> I booted up an old out-of-date xubuntu vbox, 8.10, I saw a bunch of updates were available, on the update manager I saw a new version was ready to go... so I hit the upgrade button
[08:34] <xnub> Now I can't get xfce to start
[08:34] <xnub> I can get it to start as root
[08:34] <xnub> killing X
[08:34] <xnub> logging in as root
[08:35] <xnub> startx
[08:35] <xnub> works fine
[08:35] <xnub> if I try to log in as my normal user all normal like... I get errors galore
[08:35] <moetunes> why do you have a root account?
[08:35] <moetunes> !root
[08:35] <ubottu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[08:36] <xnub> No Exec line in the session file: xfce4 Running the GNOME failsafe session instead
[08:36] <xnub> That is what I get
[08:36] <xnub> then i click ok
[08:37] <xnub> "Could not fine GNOME installation, will try running the "failsafe xterm" session."
[08:38] <moetunes> xnub: instead of trying to log in through gdm - do ctrl+alt+f2 and log in then do startxfce4 and see if it lets you in then
[08:38] <xnub> well, I need a root account, cause I forget my password all the time :p
[08:38] <moetunes> heh
[08:38] <xnub> I use sudo all the time, only switch to root in times of need
[08:39] <xnub> I'm sure it will let me in
[08:39] <xnub> but do I want to do that every time?
[08:39] <xnub> Heck no
[08:39] <xnub> How can I fix this?
[08:40] <moetunes> is there a .xinit file in your home folder?
[08:42] <xnub> np
[08:42] <xnub> no
[08:43] <moetunes> oops is there a .xinitrc file in your home folder?
[08:45] <xnub> .xauthority .xchat2 .xscreensaver-getimage.cache .xsession-errors
[08:45] <xnub> the only .x files
[08:46] <moetunes> k
[08:46] <moetunes> one min
[08:50] <s73v3r> did something happen in 9.10 with regards to ac3 support and mplayer?
[08:51] <s73v3r> I'm trying to convert an ac3 file to an m4a file, and mplayer apparently won't read it
[08:51] <moetunes> xnub: seems there might be an issue with /usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop - is there a line in there that goes   Exec=startxfce4   ?
[08:51] <xnub> I use VLC
[08:51] <s73v3r> I'm converting an mkv file so I can play it on my xbox360
[08:52] <s73v3r> normally I can do the audio with mplayer and neroAacEnc
[08:52] <xnub> moetunes: yes there is a line that says that
[08:52] <s73v3r> but I upgraded to 9.10 last night, and now it broke
[08:52] <moetunes> xnub: is that file executable?
[08:52] <xnub> how would I go about checking? :P
[08:53] <moetunes> xnub: right click it and see if execute is an option
[08:54] <xnub> I am in command line at the moment
[08:54] <xnub> I cannot get into a GUI
[08:54] <moetunes> xnub: ls -l /usr/share/xsession
[08:54] <moetunes> rwx should be there for that file
[08:55] <xnub> -rw-r--r--
[08:56] <moetunes> xnub: k - I get that here nevermind - at the gdm login select xfce4 session not the last on - can you try that?
[08:56] <moetunes> s/on/one
[08:57] <xnub> rebooting
[08:57] <moetunes> k
[08:57]  * moetunes is making coffee
[08:58] <xnub> I don't even get that far
[08:58] <xnub> after the xubuntu loading bar
[08:58] <xnub> it takes me to the error: "No Exec line in the session file: xfce4 Running the GNOME failsafe session instead"
[08:59] <xnub> damn it how do I kill X again?
[09:00] <moetunes> ctrl+alt+bkspace or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
=== IlmariL_ is now known as IlmariL
[09:03] <xnub> I did the gdm stop thing
[09:03] <xnub> now all I have is a black screen with a cursor, not even a prompt
[09:05] <moetunes> try tty2 - ctrl+alt+f2
[09:05] <xnub> yeah I did that, but I can't use startx or startxfce4
[09:05] <xnub> says there's a server already
[09:05] <moetunes> pkill X
[09:05] <psycho_oreos> probably running on tty7
[09:06] <psycho_oreos> or init 3
[09:06] <psycho_oreos> you might need sudo for either of those :p
[09:09] <xnub> Ok I manged to get it
[09:09] <xnub> I let it load into xterm
[09:09] <xnub> then did exit
[09:10] <psycho_oreos> sounds like you got in via startx instead of startxfce
[09:10] <xnub> actually, when I did exit on xterm
[09:10] <xnub> the normal login thing for 9.04 appeared
[09:10] <xnub> so I was able to change default session
[09:11] <xnub> rebooting now to see if everything is fixed
[09:11] <moetunes> luck
[09:15] <xnub> appears everything is in order now
[09:15] <moetunes> needed to choosea diff session - that's great :)
[09:17] <xnub> cept that :(
[09:17] <xnub> my screen resolutions won't stay put
[09:17] <xnub> through reboots
[09:18] <xnub> and virtualbox guest additions don't appear to be working
[09:18] <moetunes> have you made an xorg.conf?
[09:18] <_Techie_> moetunes, xorg.conf is no longer used
[09:19] <moetunes> _Techie_: it can be made and would then be used
[09:19] <moetunes> Xorg -configure
[09:33] <xnub> guess only thing I can do is take all of my sourcecode I was writing on there and back it up
[09:33] <xnub> start fresh with the latest version
[09:34] <xnub> virtualbox guest additions refuse to work
[09:34] <moetunes> bummer... - is it an old vbox version?
[09:36] <xnub> naw I just updated it before I went to use it.
[09:36] <xnub> I had some code I wanted to try out using arbitrary integer size
[09:37] <xnub> I don't quite understand what the BIONIC collatz conjecture project is actually doing... but if it it simply fiding out how many steps to solve a big number.... I just whooped their grid computing
[09:40] <xnub> anywho
[09:40] <xnub> gonna go to sleep, deal with this tomarrow
[09:40] <xnub> thanks for the assistance moetunes

[23:57] <systrik> ubuntu 9.10
[23:57] <systrik> with gnome
[23:57] <systrik> I removed it and installed xubuntu
[23:58] <hezy> removed? did you format the disk?
[23:58] <systrik> I deleted it in the installation of xubuntu
[23:58] <systrik> when selecting partitions
[23:59] <hezy> are you using the liveCD now?
