| cjae | Hi, is 500 mhz to slow with xubuntu 10.04? | 01:04 |

| G33shooter | has anyone experienced crashes after updating the Broadcom driver? | 01:04 |
| G33shooter | I had Ubuntu 10.04 and OS X installed on a powerbook G4--everything worked fine. Once I updated the B45?43? broadcom driver and restarted, I get Ubuntu 10.04 in text then a black screen (sometimes with sound.) | 01:05 |
| G33shooter | Now I am running Xubuntu and it's working great...kinda | 01:06 |
| G33shooter | sound doesn't work | 01:06 |
| G33shooter | and it wants me to update the broadcom driver again | 01:06 |
| G33shooter | (I haven't out of fear of it crashing after restart.) | 01:06 |
| G33shooter | currently running Xubuntu 9.04 | 01:08 |
| G33shooter | any tips/advice? | 01:08 |

| sean-laptop | hello anyone awake? lol | 05:14 |
| * likemindead is. | 05:14 | |
| sean-laptop | i would like some help if anyone is willing to listen | 05:15 |
| likemindead | Shoot. | 05:15 |
| sean-laptop | ok.. just installed 10.04 | 05:15 |
| * likemindead has just switched back to Xubuntu (from Ubuntu) & couldn't be happier. :D | 05:15 | |
| sean-laptop | and used the alternate desktop disc | 05:16 |
| likemindead | Xubuntu? | 05:16 |
| likemindead | Or Ubuntu? | 05:16 |
| sean-laptop | booted and the login screen is all weird | 05:16 |
| sean-laptop | likemindead, yes | 05:16 |
| likemindead | What's your hardware, especially graphics? | 05:16 |
| sean-laptop | likemindead, the screen is odd.. its too big and overlapping in areas | 05:16 |
| sean-laptop | like the res is off | 05:16 |
| sean-laptop | likemindead, by the way i just installed on an HP Pavillion DV6915NC | 05:17 |
| likemindead | Hardware? Chipset? Graphics? | 05:17 |
| sean-laptop | likemindead, its an NVIDIA setup | 05:18 |
| sean-laptop | one sec i can get some specs for you | 05:18 |
| likemindead | Did you install one of the "restricted" drivers? | 05:18 |
| sean-laptop | likemindead, i didnt select a driver | 05:21 |
| likemindead | I'd install the restricted driver. | 05:21 |
| likemindead | sean-laptop: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual | 05:22 |
| sean-laptop | ok thank you | 05:23 |
| sean-laptop | likemindead, thank you | 05:23 |
| sean-laptop | likemindead, i have i running fine on an older laptop | 05:23 |
| likemindead | Just go to Applications>System>Hardware Drivers | 05:24 |
| sean-laptop | likemindead, thinkpad t20 lol | 05:24 |
| sean-laptop | likemindead, does this mean i have to compile? | 05:25 |
| sean-laptop | likemindead, can i put in a default res command to et the screen right? | 05:25 |
| likemindead | NO! Not at all. | 05:25 |
| sean-laptop | i used other distros and they worked fine :P | 05:25 |
| likemindead | Yes. The NVIDIA tool will let you customize a ton. | 05:26 |
| likemindead | After you install the driver. | 05:26 |
| likemindead | It's very easy. | 05:26 |
| likemindead | sean-laptop: Applications>System>Hardware Drivers | 05:26 |
| sean-laptop | i cant get into that | 05:27 |
| sean-laptop | i am on the first boot | 05:27 |
| sean-laptop | i cant getr past the log in screen | 05:27 |
| sean-laptop | the res is totally off | 05:27 |
| likemindead | That is odd indeed. | 05:27 |
| likemindead | Did you check the disc after burning it? There's an option before you choose to install. | 05:28 |
| sean-laptop | this one only gives install no try without installing.. its the alternate install disc | 05:28 |
| sean-laptop | the install screen on taht one is fine.. but its the text based blue screen | 05:29 |
| likemindead | Hmm... | 05:29 |
| likemindead | You can verify the disc this way: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 05:30 |
| sean-laptop | checksum was ok on it | 05:30 |
| sean-laptop | it installed on another computer fine | 05:30 |
| likemindead | Hmm... | 05:31 |
| sean-laptop | yeah | 05:33 |
| likemindead | I'd try a Live CD or Live USB to see what's up. | 05:35 |
| likemindead | Also, can you try any other monitors? | 05:40 |
| sean-laptop | i tried a live cd before.. kept saying it was low on memory | 05:41 |
| sean-laptop | i ahve 3 gigs in it and it runs fine | 05:41 |
| sean-laptop | had vista on it | 05:41 |
| likemindead | Sounds like you've got hardware issues to me. | 05:43 |
| likemindead | I'm turning in for the night. Hope you get it figured out. Peace. | 05:44 |
| sean-laptop | meh i will figure something out | 05:44 |
| sean-laptop | later!~ | 05:44 |
| visitor1 | hmm xfdesktop keeps crashing at least once a day, is there a log where one could get a clue why it crashes? | 06:22 |
| visitor1 | luckily i can restart it in terminal but its rather annoying | 06:23 |
| Sysi | does it gine any output when starting in terminal? | 06:23 |
| Sysi | *give | 06:23 |
| visitor1 | no, seems normal? | 06:36 |
| visitor1 | daniel@daniel-desktop:~$ xfdesktop& | 06:36 |
| visitor1 | [1] 14548 | 06:36 |
| visitor1 | daniel@daniel-desktop:~$ xfdesktop[14548]: starting up | 06:36 |

| cha0s | Hey, has anyone ever figured out how to keep flash fullscreen on one monitor while working on the other monitor? | 06:43 |
| cha0s | Apparently on Windows you can hex edit it to work... but I can't find anything for Linux | 06:44 |
| maxfourestier | hello, need help with network-manager on xubuntu 10.04 | 09:01 |
| ruien | hello there. Can anyone point me to documentation on xubuntu sound? I see an option to select between 3 sound cards, choice for "mixer track", the ability to edit options for sound cards not even selected when I right-click the volume app.. and i don't see any docs on this stuff. | 15:24 |
| Sysi | !sound | 15:24 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 15:24 |
| ruien | Sysi: that links to documentation on gnome, and we are using xfce. Furthermore it is all "How to do X". I don't want to know how to do X; I want to understand what all of the options in xfce-mixer mean | 15:27 |
| Sysi | what do you have on list? | 15:28 |
| Sysi | propably there are just different mixers | 15:29 |
| ruien | right, three mixers. What is a "mixer"? | 15:29 |
| ruien | these seem like stupid questions, but there is no documentation from what I have found | 15:29 |
| Sysi | even bot don't have very goon information or i just can't find.. | 15:31 |
| Sysi | *good | 15:31 |
| * likemindead feels right being back in Xubuntu & missed it dearly. | 15:32 | |
| Sysi | you can put out sound and configure volume and different outputs with mixer | 15:32 |
| ruien | okay. I only have one physical sound card in the computer, but the xfce-mixer list shows 3 I can choose from. Are they all active at once? Do I need to reboot to change "sound cards"? Why are there 3?(Alsa, OSS, PulseAudio) ? | 15:33 |
| Sysi | if every of them work, great | 15:34 |
| Pres-Gas | Where did you go, likemindead? | 15:34 |
| ruien | yes, they all work.. that is why I am confused. | 15:34 |
| Sysi | pulseaudio is propably what you want to configure | 15:34 |
| Sysi | (it delets my alsa settings on every boot) | 15:35 |
| Sysi | !pulseaudio | 15:35 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 15:35 |
| likemindead | Just to regular Ubuntu, Pres-Gas. | 15:35 |
| ruien | hmm, okay. So if I right-click the volumeapp, and then choose PulseAudio as the sound card.. Then i load xfce-mixer and change a setting for, say, OSS, that change should have no effect. But it does. (?) | 15:36 |
| Sysi | volumeapp in panel? | 15:36 |
| ruien | right. I can right-click, which allows me to set "sound card" and "mixer track", or i can left-click to run xfce-mixer | 15:37 |
| Sysi | i think it's not how you think it to be | 15:37 |
| Sysi | i can be wrong | 15:37 |
| ruien | I am sure you are right. I don't understand it. | 15:37 |
| Sysi | but for me it changes the thing i control by scrolling on it | 15:37 |
| ruien | oh, so the "choose sound card" option in the right-click menu is sort of redundant? | 15:38 |
| ruien | because choosing the sound card in the xfce4-mixer does the same thing? | 15:38 |
| Sysi | doesn't it seem so? | 15:39 |
| ruien | yes, but it doesn't really seem to work every time, because I have a "sound card" for "pulseaudo capture" and another for "playback". So if that is true, then it implies I can only play audio or record audio one at a time, and that is not intuitive. | 15:41 |
| ruien | anyway, thanks for the explanation. | 15:43 |
| Sysi | you should have in playback also settings for capture | 15:43 |
| ruien | odd. No, i only have "Master" for all of "Playback" and both "Capture" options... For example, I can turn on my microphone in "Alsa", and then if I change to Pulseaudio, I cannot turn it off. And even though I chose Pulseaudio, it stays on. Then I can change back to "Alsa" and turn it off, and the changes persist in Pulseaudio. So it is very weird. | 15:45 |
| Sysi | pulse somehow mixes with alsa | 15:46 |
| ruien | okay, i think i understand it a little better now then. Thanks a lot :) | 15:47 |
| likemindead | Dear Exaile, thanks for being awesome. Rhythmbox can suck it. | 16:49 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest20823 | ||
| Guest20823 | Can anyone tell me how you use IcedTea to run a java runtime program. I haven't got any Java programs to work since updating to 10.4 and the open jre. | 18:03 |
| xubuntu066 | Привет | 18:05 |
| Guest20823 | Anyone have any luck with running java programs with new Open JRE. I can't seem to get IcedTea plugin to execute any java based programs? | 18:07 |
| Guest20823 | Old Sun Java Runtime 6 was fine. | 18:08 |
| Sysi | !java | 18:08 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java products search for sun-java6 -packages from the !Multiverse repository (!partner repository in Lucid) | 18:08 |
| Guest20823 | Ok. I have been trying to use the open version, but so far to no avail. | 18:10 |
| Guest20823 | I will try using the information. Thanks, Patrick | 18:12 |
| slow-motion | hi | 18:12 |
| Guest20823 | Followed instructions and the java file won't run. Maybe there is a way I can access the icedtea plugin itself to execute a program? | 18:20 |
| Guest20823 | I wish they would have kept the old sun java in the new version. What a headache. | 18:24 |
| TheSheep | you can install the sun's java | 18:25 |
| Guest20823 | I would have to uninstall the openjdk first I assume. | 18:25 |
| TheSheep | I think they can coexist | 18:26 |
| Guest20823 | What I'm confused by is I right click and choose a program to execute. The only options is the Open JDK. However, JDK didn't open my programs in the the past. It was sun-java6-runtime. I'm told IcedTea is the equivalent. I'm trying to make sure I'm using the right file to execute the program within java. | 18:28 |
| Guest20823 | I tried to install the right sun-java6 file file, but to no avail. To many dependency issues. Hmmm | 18:39 |
| TheSheep | Guest20823: you can choose which one to use with update-alternatives | 18:41 |
| charlie-tca | he left | 18:41 |
| TheSheep | aww | 18:42 |
| maddy83 | hi guys | 18:58 |
| maddy83 | my sound stopped working when I upgraded to xubuntu 10.04, anyone got any tips? | 18:59 |
| ochosi | !pulse-audio | 18:59 |
| ochosi | !pulse | 19:00 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 19:00 |
| Sysi | !sound | 19:00 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 19:00 |
| maddy83 | no help so far | 19:04 |
| maddy83 | what's the pulse audio thing? | 19:09 |
| maddy83 | do I really need that? | 19:09 |
| TheSheep | you have a link with explanation right there | 19:09 |
| TheSheep | you can read it, really | 19:09 |
| maddy83 | which link? | 19:12 |
| maddy83 | I did read them pretty good | 19:13 |
| TheSheep | the very first sentence of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio tells you what pulseaudio is | 19:16 |
| maddy83 | "It allows you to do advanced operations on your sound data as it passes between your application and your hardware." how does this help me to fix my sound? | 19:17 |
| maddy83 | it's talking about Flash, I have no sound with any programs | 19:18 |
| TheSheep | do you get sound if you type 'cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp' in terminal (careful, it's loud noise, press ctrl+c to close it) | 19:20 |
| maddy83 | yes | 19:22 |
| maddy83 | I had no idea linux had that kind of handy random number generator either | 19:25 |
| maddy83 | so any ideas? | 19:34 |
| maddy83 | my sound driver is Hda Intel I just checked | 19:34 |
| TheSheep | maddy83: how do you check your sound? | 19:42 |
| TheSheep | maddy83: sorry for the delays | 19:42 |
| maddy83 | TheSheep by playing sound files with vlc and aplay | 19:54 |
| TheSheep | maddy83: what kind of sound files? | 19:54 |
| maddy83 | aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav | 19:54 |
| TheSheep | maddy83: maybe try running 'alsamixer' in terminal and unmuting all channels | 19:59 |
| TheSheep | also oving the volume up on them | 19:59 |
| maddy83 | already tried alsamixer, all channels have high volume and are unmuted | 20:02 |
| Iglotentje | hi.. | 20:02 |
| maddy83 | TheSheep nevermind, some channels were muted, thanks very much for help | 20:04 |

| steve__ | Hi, I would like to connect to one of my shared computers on my network but when I click on "Places" , I do not have a icon called "Shared folders" or "Network places", why? And how can I connect to my network computers? | 23:10 |
| likemindead | ubottu, networking | 23:11 |
| likemindead | http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=network+computers+xubuntu&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= | 23:12 |
| charlie-tca | or if using 10.04, go to Applciations -> System -> Gigolo | 23:14 |
| likemindead | Huh. I was wondering what Gigolo was. Haven't looked at it yet. | 23:15 |
| charlie-tca | steve__: Xubuntu uses Xfce instead of Gnome. The items you are looking for are part of Nautilus or Gnome | 23:15 |
| charlie-tca | Gigolo for 10.04, remote systems or similar for 9.10 and earlier | 23:15 |
| steve__ | charlie-tca, ok but what I type for a location ???? | 23:29 |
| charlie-tca | Now that I do not know. Mine does not ask for a location | 23:30 |
| hookworm24 | Help. Just upgraded from karmic to 10.04 and the operating system will not load. I see the xubuntu logo for half a second and the the computer hangs and becomes unresponsive. This is on a dell latitude d400. can anyone shed some light? where do i go from here? | 23:41 |
| likemindead | Sorry, hookworm24, I've never done an upgrade. I always go for a fresh install. I'd use a Live CD to get all the data you want and go for a fresh install. | 23:43 |
| knome | uh.. | 23:43 |
| likemindead | Are you dual-booting with anything else, hookworm24? | 23:50 |
