[01:04] Hi, is 500 mhz to slow with xubuntu 10.04? [01:04] has anyone experienced crashes after updating the Broadcom driver? [01:05] 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] Now I am running Xubuntu and it's working great...kinda [01:06] sound doesn't work [01:06] and it wants me to update the broadcom driver again [01:06] (I haven't out of fear of it crashing after restart.) [01:08] currently running Xubuntu 9.04 [01:08] any tips/advice? [03:30] 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] 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] hello anyone awake? lol [05:14] * likemindead is. [05:15] i would like some help if anyone is willing to listen [05:15] Shoot. [05:15] ok.. just installed 10.04 [05:15] * likemindead has just switched back to Xubuntu (from Ubuntu) & couldn't be happier. :D [05:16] and used the alternate desktop disc [05:16] Xubuntu? [05:16] Or Ubuntu? [05:16] booted and the login screen is all weird [05:16] likemindead, yes [05:16] What's your hardware, especially graphics? [05:16] likemindead, the screen is odd.. its too big and overlapping in areas [05:16] like the res is off [05:17] likemindead, by the way i just installed on an HP Pavillion DV6915NC [05:17] Hardware? Chipset? Graphics? [05:18] likemindead, its an NVIDIA setup [05:18] one sec i can get some specs for you [05:18] Did you install one of the "restricted" drivers? [05:21] likemindead, i didnt select a driver [05:21] I'd install the restricted driver. [05:22] sean-laptop: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [05:23] ok thank you [05:23] likemindead, thank you [05:23] likemindead, i have i running fine on an older laptop [05:24] Just go to Applications>System>Hardware Drivers [05:24] likemindead, thinkpad t20 lol [05:25] likemindead, does this mean i have to compile? [05:25] likemindead, can i put in a default res command to et the screen right? [05:25] NO! Not at all. [05:25] i used other distros and they worked fine :P [05:26] Yes. The NVIDIA tool will let you customize a ton. [05:26] After you install the driver. [05:26] It's very easy. [05:26] sean-laptop: Applications>System>Hardware Drivers [05:27] i cant get into that [05:27] i am on the first boot [05:27] i cant getr past the log in screen [05:27] the res is totally off [05:27] That is odd indeed. [05:28] Did you check the disc after burning it? There's an option before you choose to install. [05:28] this one only gives install no try without installing.. its the alternate install disc [05:29] the install screen on taht one is fine.. but its the text based blue screen [05:29] Hmm... [05:30] You can verify the disc this way: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [05:30] checksum was ok on it [05:30] it installed on another computer fine [05:31] Hmm... [05:33] yeah [05:35] I'd try a Live CD or Live USB to see what's up. [05:40] Also, can you try any other monitors? [05:41] i tried a live cd before.. kept saying it was low on memory [05:41] i ahve 3 gigs in it and it runs fine [05:41] had vista on it [05:43] Sounds like you've got hardware issues to me. [05:44] I'm turning in for the night. Hope you get it figured out. Peace. [05:44] meh i will figure something out [05:44] later!~ [06:22] hmm xfdesktop keeps crashing at least once a day, is there a log where one could get a clue why it crashes? [06:23] luckily i can restart it in terminal but its rather annoying [06:23] does it gine any output when starting in terminal? [06:23] *give [06:36] no, seems normal? [06:36] daniel@daniel-desktop:~$ xfdesktop& [06:36] [1] 14548 [06:36] daniel@daniel-desktop:~$ xfdesktop[14548]: starting up [06:36] daniel@daniel-desktop:~$ [06:43] Hey, has anyone ever figured out how to keep flash fullscreen on one monitor while working on the other monitor? [06:44] Apparently on Windows you can hex edit it to work... but I can't find anything for Linux [09:01] hello, need help with network-manager on xubuntu 10.04 [15:24] 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] !sound [15:24] 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. [15:27] 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] what do you have on list? [15:29] propably there are just different mixers [15:29] right, three mixers. What is a "mixer"? [15:29] these seem like stupid questions, but there is no documentation from what I have found [15:31] even bot don't have very goon information or i just can't find.. [15:31] *good [15:32] * likemindead feels right being back in Xubuntu & missed it dearly. [15:32] you can put out sound and configure volume and different outputs with mixer [15:33] 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] if every of them work, great [15:34] Where did you go, likemindead? [15:34] yes, they all work.. that is why I am confused. [15:34] pulseaudio is propably what you want to configure [15:35] (it delets my alsa settings on every boot) [15:35] !pulseaudio [15:35] 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] Just to regular Ubuntu, Pres-Gas. [15:36] 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] volumeapp in panel? [15:37] 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] i think it's not how you think it to be [15:37] i can be wrong [15:37] I am sure you are right. I don't understand it. [15:37] but for me it changes the thing i control by scrolling on it [15:38] oh, so the "choose sound card" option in the right-click menu is sort of redundant? [15:38] because choosing the sound card in the xfce4-mixer does the same thing? [15:39] doesn't it seem so? [15:41] 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] anyway, thanks for the explanation. [15:43] you should have in playback also settings for capture [15:45] 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] pulse somehow mixes with alsa [15:47] okay, i think i understand it a little better now then. Thanks a lot :) [16:49] Dear Exaile, thanks for being awesome. Rhythmbox can suck it. === patrick is now known as Guest20823 [18:03] 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] Привет [18:07] 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] Old Sun Java Runtime 6 was fine. [18:08] !java [18:08] 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) [18:10] Ok. I have been trying to use the open version, but so far to no avail. [18:12] I will try using the information. Thanks, Patrick [18:12] hi [18:20] 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] I wish they would have kept the old sun java in the new version. What a headache. [18:25] you can install the sun's java [18:25] I would have to uninstall the openjdk first I assume. [18:26] I think they can coexist [18:28] 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] I tried to install the right sun-java6 file file, but to no avail. To many dependency issues. Hmmm [18:41] Guest20823: you can choose which one to use with update-alternatives [18:41] he left [18:42] aww [18:58] hi guys [18:59] my sound stopped working when I upgraded to xubuntu 10.04, anyone got any tips? [18:59] !pulse-audio [19:00] !pulse [19:00] 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] !sound [19:00] 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. [19:04] no help so far [19:09] what's the pulse audio thing? [19:09] do I really need that? [19:09] you have a link with explanation right there [19:09] you can read it, really [19:12] which link? [19:13] I did read them pretty good [19:16] the very first sentence of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio tells you what pulseaudio is [19:17] "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] it's talking about Flash, I have no sound with any programs [19:20] 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] yes [19:25] I had no idea linux had that kind of handy random number generator either [19:34] so any ideas? [19:34] my sound driver is Hda Intel I just checked [19:42] maddy83: how do you check your sound? [19:42] maddy83: sorry for the delays [19:54] TheSheep by playing sound files with vlc and aplay [19:54] maddy83: what kind of sound files? [19:54] aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav [19:59] maddy83: maybe try running 'alsamixer' in terminal and unmuting all channels [19:59] also oving the volume up on them [20:02] already tried alsamixer, all channels have high volume and are unmuted [20:02] hi.. [20:04] TheSheep nevermind, some channels were muted, thanks very much for help [22:43] n8 [23:10] 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] ubottu, networking [23:12] http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=network+computers+xubuntu&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= [23:14] or if using 10.04, go to Applciations -> System -> Gigolo [23:15] Huh. I was wondering what Gigolo was. Haven't looked at it yet. [23:15] steve__: Xubuntu uses Xfce instead of Gnome. The items you are looking for are part of Nautilus or Gnome [23:15] Gigolo for 10.04, remote systems or similar for 9.10 and earlier [23:29] charlie-tca, ok but what I type for a location ???? [23:30] Now that I do not know. Mine does not ask for a location [23:41] 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] 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] uh.. [23:50] Are you dual-booting with anything else, hookworm24?
