[01:04] <cjae> Hi, is 500 mhz to slow with xubuntu 10.04?
[01:04] <G33shooter> has anyone experienced crashes after updating the Broadcom driver?
[01:05] <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.)
[01:06] <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.)
[01:08] <G33shooter> currently running Xubuntu 9.04
[01:08] <G33shooter> any tips/advice?
[03:30] <roygbiv> hi i'm trying build my own version of tk but i need the X11 header files. anyone know which package contains those?
[03:59] <noil> hi, I have install xubuntu 10.04 yesterday. some problems appeared after update, something with video driver, after reboot my PC loaded in low mode, I have reinstall videodriver (nvidia) system is ok now, but boot screen still loaded in low mod, what I have 2 do?
[05:14] <sean-laptop> hello anyone awake? lol
[05:14]  * likemindead is.
[05:15] <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
[05:16] <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
[05:17] <sean-laptop> likemindead,  by the way i just installed on an HP Pavillion DV6915NC
[05:17] <likemindead> Hardware? Chipset? Graphics?
[05:18] <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?
[05:21] <sean-laptop> likemindead, i didnt select a driver
[05:21] <likemindead> I'd install the restricted driver.
[05:22] <likemindead> sean-laptop: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[05:23] <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
[05:24] <likemindead> Just go to Applications>System>Hardware Drivers
[05:24] <sean-laptop> likemindead, thinkpad t20 lol
[05:25] <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
[05:26] <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
[05:27] <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.
[05:28] <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
[05:29] <sean-laptop> the install screen on taht one is fine.. but its the text based blue screen
[05:29] <likemindead> Hmm...
[05:30] <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
[05:31] <likemindead> Hmm...
[05:33] <sean-laptop> yeah
[05:35] <likemindead> I'd try a Live CD or Live USB to see what's up.
[05:40] <likemindead> Also, can you try any other monitors?
[05:41] <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
[05:43] <likemindead> Sounds like you've got hardware issues to me.
[05:44] <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!~
[06:22] <visitor1> hmm xfdesktop keeps crashing at least once a day, is there a log where one could get a clue why it crashes?
[06:23] <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
[06:36] <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] <visitor1> daniel@daniel-desktop:~$
[06:43] <cha0s> Hey, has anyone ever figured out how to keep flash fullscreen on one monitor while working on the other monitor?
[06:44] <cha0s> Apparently on Windows you can hex edit it to work... but I can't find anything for Linux
[09:01] <maxfourestier> hello, need help with network-manager on xubuntu 10.04
[15:24] <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
[15:27] <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
[15:28] <Sysi> what do you have on list?
[15:29] <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
[15:31] <Sysi> even bot don't have very goon information or i just can't find..
[15:31] <Sysi> *good
[15:32]  * 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
[15:33] <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) ?
[15:34] <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
[15:35] <Sysi> (it delets my alsa settings on every boot)
[15:35] <Sysi> !pulseaudio
[15:35] <likemindead> Just to regular Ubuntu, Pres-Gas.
[15:36] <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?
[15:37] <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
[15:38] <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?
[15:39] <Sysi> doesn't it seem so?
[15:41] <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.
[15:43] <ruien> anyway, thanks for the explanation.
[15:43] <Sysi> you should have in playback also settings for capture
[15:45] <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.
[15:46] <Sysi> pulse somehow mixes with alsa
[15:47] <ruien> okay, i think i understand it a little better now then. Thanks a lot :)
[16:49] <likemindead> Dear Exaile, thanks for being awesome. Rhythmbox can suck it.
[18:03] <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.
[18:05] <xubuntu066> Привет
[18:07] <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?
[18:08] <Guest20823> Old Sun Java Runtime 6 was fine.
[18:08] <Sysi> !java
[18:10] <Guest20823> Ok. I have been trying to use the open version, but so far to no avail.
[18:12] <Guest20823> I will try using the information. Thanks, Patrick
[18:12] <slow-motion> hi
[18:20] <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?
[18:24] <Guest20823> I wish they would have kept the old sun java in the new version. What a headache.
[18:25] <TheSheep> you can install the sun's java
[18:25] <Guest20823> I would have to uninstall the openjdk first I assume.
[18:26] <TheSheep> I think they can coexist
[18:28] <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.
[18:39] <Guest20823> I tried to install the right sun-java6 file file, but to no avail. To many dependency issues. Hmmm
[18:41] <TheSheep> Guest20823: you can choose which one to use with update-alternatives
[18:41] <charlie-tca> he left
[18:42] <TheSheep> aww
[18:58] <maddy83> hi guys
[18:59] <maddy83> my sound stopped working when I upgraded to xubuntu 10.04, anyone got any tips?
[18:59] <ochosi> !pulse-audio
[19:00] <ochosi> !pulse
[19:00] <Sysi> !sound
[19:04] <maddy83> no help so far
[19:09] <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
[19:12] <maddy83> which link?
[19:13] <maddy83> I did read them pretty good
[19:16] <TheSheep> the very first sentence of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio tells you what pulseaudio is
[19:17] <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?
[19:18] <maddy83> it's talking about Flash, I have no sound with any programs
[19:20] <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)
[19:22] <maddy83> yes
[19:25] <maddy83> I had no idea linux had that kind of handy random number generator either
[19:34] <maddy83> so any ideas?
[19:34] <maddy83> my sound driver is Hda Intel I just checked
[19:42] <TheSheep> maddy83: how do you check your sound?
[19:42] <TheSheep> maddy83: sorry for the delays
[19:54] <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
[19:59] <TheSheep> maddy83: maybe try running 'alsamixer' in terminal and unmuting all channels
[19:59] <TheSheep> also oving the volume up on them
[20:02] <maddy83> already tried alsamixer, all channels have high volume and are unmuted
[20:02] <Iglotentje> hi..
[20:04] <maddy83> TheSheep nevermind, some channels were muted, thanks very much for help
[22:43] <slow-motion> n8
[23:10] <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?
[23:11] <likemindead> ubottu, networking
[23:12] <likemindead> http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=network+computers+xubuntu&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
[23:14] <charlie-tca> or if using 10.04, go to Applciations -> System -> Gigolo
[23:15] <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
[23:29] <steve__> charlie-tca, ok but what I type for a location ????
[23:30] <charlie-tca> Now that I do not know. Mine does not ask for a location
[23:41] <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?
[23:43] <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..
[23:50] <likemindead> Are you dual-booting with anything else, hookworm24?
