[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
[08:36] <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
[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
