pleia2Peacimowen: sound issues are always pretty tricky, have you tried searching ubuntuforums.org ?00:00
pleia2Peacimowen: also, maybe pastebin output of aplay -l00:01
PeacimowenI've been googling for a while.00:01
Peacimowenhttp://pastebin.com/WU7dKXC500:03
Peacimowenpleia2: Thing is, I used to have sound, but after I had to reset the computer yesterday, both sound and display (x.org) broke somehow. I fixed X by re-installing the nVidia drivers as bts had suggsted, but sound doesn't look so simple to fix.00:15
PeacimowenSo, plenty of things tell me the sound card is there, but everything that tries to access it tells me it isn't.00:27
Peacimowenoh, sound DOES work as root. Interesting.00:34
pleia2Peacimowen: maybe check mixer levels? (sometimes when I reboot sound comes back muted)00:34
Peacimowenand there ya have it.. restarting fixed it, somehow.00:39

mohadilahow to install bluetooth in xubuntu..02:22
mohadilamy computer cannot detect it02:23
wyclifhi all04:15
Balsaqwelcome wyclif04:16
wyclifit's kind of dead in here04:18
Balsaqthat means xubuntu is performing flawlessly04:18
wyclifBalsaq: hahaha too true04:19
wyclifactually I found out that if you install xubuntu and ask a generic ubuntu question in the #ubuntu channel, they sometimes ask users to come over here04:20
Balsaqyes i have seen quite a few ubuntites here04:20
Balsaqwelcome C00LARR0w04:21
C00LARR0wBalsaq: thanks04:22
wyclifhere's a question: I had a straight up ubuntu karmic install on this IBM t40 laptop I'm using now. Then I tried installing xubuntu Karmic on it because I wanted to go lighter, but now I can't boot from the HDD and I'm now working off the live CD04:22
wycliftechnically, the only difference between those distros is the stuff unique to xubuntu; the were both Karmic, but ubuntu "just worked" whereas xubuntu broke things.04:23
Balsaqdid you want both or only xubuntu04:24
wyclifi like the idea of xubuntu, but I'd really really like to have a working system :D04:24
wyclifjust xubuntu04:24
Balsaqhmmm standby.04:24
wycliffortunately I backed up everything and have my /home directory backed up online04:25
Balsaqdoes it still boot ubuntu from hd?04:31
wyclifno, I wiped the hd by installing xubuntu04:36
wyclifI'm sad, because xfce looks pretty sweet.04:37
wyclifI also am liking Thunar04:38
Balsaqwhat ext is it in04:41
wyclifext404:45
wyclifthat's the default04:45
Balsaqi think 3 or 4 is fine...04:46
Balsaqwhich version?04:46
Balsaqoh i see karmic04:48
Balsaqso 4 is it04:48
wyclifyeah, Karmic, using ext404:48
Balsaqwhat is bios set to boot from?04:49
wyclifwell, I reset the BIOS to boot from the CD when I installed04:49
Balsaqso you say now xubuntu is on the HD04:50
Balsaqand is the only OS04:50
wyclifyes, the install was successful, I just can't boot the system04:50
wyclifyes that's correct04:50
Balsaqwhen it wont boot...do you by chance end up on ablack screen with nothing but a lil whit box blinking in the top left of the screen?04:51
Balsaqwhite*04:51
wyclifno04:51
wyclifI get dumped into the grub menu04:51
Balsaqso grub needs repaired i guess04:51
wyclifwhen I try to boot in recovery mode, I can't do that either, I get an error, then when I press Enter I'm put back at the grub menu again04:52
wyclifI can't boot with any of the options the default grub menu gives me04:52
wyclifwhen I choose either normal boot or recovery boot, I get a "device not found" error.... then Enter and back to the menu again04:53
wyclifthere's also a string there, as in "device 0348102384214eqwripewrqw not found...."04:54
wyclifgonna step out for a smoke, brb thanks04:56

solotimhi, group , can I remove xubuntu-desktop after installed icewm?14:55
knomesolotim, xubuntu-desktop is just a meta package, it won't remove any software14:59
solotimknome: thank you. If I am not going to use xfce utilities any more, which packages I can remove safely?15:00
knomethere's no clear answer to that15:00
knomeyou can get some idea from the list of packages the xubuntu-desktop meta package "depends" on15:01
solotimthank you15:07
knomeno problem15:09
Sysiknome: don't you remember that bot knows everything? :)16:01
