[00:00] <assos> Hi, I've got a computer with intel 82801DB-ICH4 integrated sound, that I'm trying to get working with xubuntu - everything works, except the sound - it seems to be detected, but I get no output can anyone help me?
[00:11] <ochosi> assos, tried alsamixer in terminal and there unmute every channel?
[00:11] <assos> yup
[00:13] <ochosi> assos, tried upgrading alsa by hand? looked in the alsa bugtracker for your card?
[01:01] <ochosi> my background list in xubuntu forgets newly added items upon restart (apart from the active wallpaper), does this work for anyone here?
[01:02] <ochosi> this is a bug i already noticed in karmic
[01:02] <ochosi> and i was wondering whether i'm the only one
[10:37] <ochosi> my background list in xubuntu forgets newly added items upon restart (apart from the active wallpaper), does this work for anyone here?
[10:37] <ochosi> this is a bug i already noticed in karmic
[10:40] <TheSheep> same here
[10:41] <ochosi> this can't be the desired behavior, can it?
[10:43] <ochosi> guess i'll check whether this is an issue upstream too
[11:55] <_L30_> hello i have a issue with virtualbox guest additions
[11:57] <_L30_> they seem to not work
[11:58] <drizzt_> _L30_, try 3.2
[11:58] <_L30_> yes Im with that
[11:58] <drizzt_> _L30_, had you any compile errors?
[11:58] <_L30_> are you able to get a good mouse interface
[11:59] <drizzt_> _L30_, yes it seamless
[11:59] <_L30_> drizzt_: yes unable to build kernel modules
[11:59] <_L30_> some error like that
[11:59] <drizzt_> _L30_, then you should check build log
[11:59] <_L30_> but later installation proceeds
[11:59] <_L30_> log of virtual box?
[12:00] <_L30_> there is no error listed there aswell
[12:00] <drizzt_> _L30_, no, when you're running additions installer it writes log
[12:01] <drizzt_> check for it in /var/log on guest system
[12:01] <_L30_> yea error : unable to find your linux kernel sources
[12:02] <_L30_> how do i fix that
[12:03] <drizzt_> _L30_, install linux-headers-<digits as your current kernel is>
[12:03] <_L30_> ya i ran the update and linux kernel headers got installed
[12:03] <_L30_> even then the problem persists
[12:04] <drizzt_> _L30_, do you have compiler installed?
[12:05] <_L30_> yes drizzt_ every update installed
[12:05] <_L30_> sudo apt-get update
[12:05] <_L30_> i ran that and installed them
[12:05] <_L30_> and some installation went on for some 30mins
[12:05] <drizzt_> _L30_, strange, it should work :(
[12:05] <_L30_> ubuntu is working fine
[12:05] <_L30_> problem is just with xubuntu
[12:06] <_L30_> i am working to make a virtual appliance ...without this guest additions its a tough job :(
[12:16] <_L30_> drizzt_: shall i go with installing 2.6.32-22
[12:16] <_L30_> manually?
[12:17] <drizzt_> _L30_, it's a current kernel, you should have it and headers already installed
[12:19] <_L30_> ahh gkms issue :P
[12:19] <_L30_> dkms*
[12:26] <_L30_> drizzt_: wierd thing they werent installed :P
[12:35] <_L30_> drizzt_: fixed thanks for your help :
[14:11] <stoffus> hi
[14:12] <stoffus> i just tried to install xubuntu but after picking "install ubuntu" in the bootscreen the graphics for the installation are somehow broken. I can only see vertical stripes with different colors and can't recognize anything...does maybe anyone know what i can do? =)
[14:16] <TheSheep> safe graphics mode comes to mind
[14:19] <stoffus> how do i call it??
[14:19] <stoffus> or can i somehow start a console/text version of the installation?
[14:22] <Pres-Gas> stoffus, you could use the alternate CD.
[16:32] <midoubleko> anyone know how to enable 3rd level keys in xubuntu? the hash key is usualy alt-3 and euro sign alt-2 but they don't seem to work
[16:34] <schlaftier> midoubleko: Alt or AltGr?
[16:34] <midoubleko> what is AltGr?
[16:35] <schlaftier> midoubleko: the key on the right hand side of the space bar
[16:35] <schlaftier> the left is Alt, right is AltGr
[16:35] <midoubleko> no the left hand alt
[16:35] <schlaftier> Are you on a Mac? Because usually only AltGr is used for these IIRC
[16:36] <midoubleko> yeah its a mac
[16:36] <midoubleko> altgr doesn't work either
[16:37] <schlaftier> it did for me, well... are you sure you are using the right keyboard layout? I enabled a Mac keyboard layout during installation
[16:37] <schlaftier> Actually, that shouldn't be an issue, though
[16:37] <midoubleko> yeah it's a mac gb keyboard layout
[16:37] <schlaftier> best is probably if you open a terminal, type xev and press Alt key to see what the computer thinks it is
[16:37] <midoubleko> and it was an install from ubuntu
[16:38] <midoubleko> ok
[16:39] <midoubleko> it says its Alt_L and the right one is super g or something
[16:39] <schlaftier> okay
[16:40] <schlaftier> what you can do is create a file .Xmodmap in your home directory
[16:40] <midoubleko> ok
[16:40] <midoubleko> where can i find what syntax to use
[16:41] <midoubleko> i suppose i should just google it
[16:41] <schlaftier> I think this will suffice: add mod5 = Alt_L
[16:41] <schlaftier> then log out and in again and try
[16:41] <midoubleko> ok
[16:41] <schlaftier> btw.
[16:42] <schlaftier> Shift-Alt should work too
[16:42] <midoubleko> thanks
[16:43] <midoubleko> logging out will see if this works
[16:46] <midoubleko> no didn't work
[16:47] <schlaftier> midoubleko: okay, maybe you have to source the file manually
[16:47] <schlaftier> try in a terminal: xmodmap .Xmodap
[16:47] <schlaftier> try in a terminal: xmodmap .Xmodmap
[16:47] <schlaftier> and see what happens
[16:47] <midoubleko> ok
[16:48] <Sysi> by default xfce overruns xmodmap
[16:48] <Sysi> see keyboard settings
[16:48] <midoubleko> mikko@mikko-desktop:~$ xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
[16:48] <midoubleko> X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[16:48] <midoubleko>   Major opcode of failed request:  118 (X_SetModifierMapping)
[16:48] <schlaftier> Ah, suppose my keyboard settings say "use whatever X uses"
[16:48] <midoubleko>   Value in failed request:  0x17
[16:48] <midoubleko>   Serial number of failed request:  11
[16:48] <midoubleko>   Current serial number in output stream:  11
[16:48] <schlaftier> oh
[16:49] <schlaftier> is there an integer in your .Xmodmap at all?
[16:50] <midoubleko> mod5
[16:50] <midoubleko> like you said
[16:51] <schlaftier> Maybe it's because of what Sysi said... see the Xfce keyboard settings
[16:51] <midoubleko> i played around in there but can't find settings for third level keys
[17:16] <Gabbriel> what's up people?
[17:38] <mil_arg> Hi! help me, please
[17:38] <Sysi> what's up
[17:38] <mil_arg> i have Xubuntu in my notebook, 9.04
[17:39] <mil_arg> i want upgrade to 10.4
[17:39] <mil_arg> but CD-ROM not found
[17:39] <mil_arg> and USB dont boot
[17:40] <mil_arg> from my xubuntu i cant install new xubuntu 10.4?
[17:40] <charlie-tca> you can't install directly from the installed desktop, no
[17:41] <charlie-tca> you could run update-manager and upgrade to 9.10, then upgrade to 10.04, though
[17:41] <mil_arg> ohhh! no!
[17:42] <charlie-tca> there is no direct upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04
[17:43] <mil_arg> then, with my iso 10.4 from xubuntu 9.04 running nothing to do
[17:43] <charlie-tca> correct, the only way to go direct from 9.04 to 10.04 is a new installation of 10.04
[17:44] <mil_arg> ok, but CD-Rom is broken and my notebook dont boot from USB... How?
[17:46] <charlie-tca> In that case, you would do the upgrades
[17:47] <mil_arg> from internet?
[17:52] <charlie-tca> yes, using update-manager
[17:54] <mil_arg> ok, thanks charlie-tca!
[17:55] <charlie-tca> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Upgrading
[18:23] <_L30_> hey when i run synaptic i get a error unable to run xauthorization
[19:14] <renata> hello, I have a problem, I cannot boot lucid liveCD. I've tried to install with alternate, but it wont boot after install. Please help
[19:18] <charlie-tca> renata: the liveCD failed to run for your system, so you installed with the alternate cd and the installation fails, now. Where it the boot stop?
[19:19] <renata> charlie-tca, that's correct, I hangs after ugly splash
[19:20] <charlie-tca> what kind of video card?
[19:21] <renata> no idea, I've never used any propety drivers on that laptop, it ran like miracle with karmic
[19:21] <charlie-tca> hit right-shift to get the grub menu, then try editing the menu to remove "quiet splash" for a one time boot. It should show you errors messages that will help.
[19:22] <_L30_> hey i liked to previous boot screen of xubuntu
[19:22] <_L30_> any way to get it back?
[19:22] <_L30_> i mean the xsplash of 9.10
[19:22] <charlie-tca> not that I know of
[19:23] <charlie-tca> xsplash was replaced by plymouth in 10.04
[19:23] <_L30_> ooh :(
[19:23] <_L30_> i cant get it back ?
[19:24] <charlie-tca> You could try google and see if someone knows how.
[19:24] <_L30_> no help there
[19:24] <_L30_> so crept in here :)
[19:25] <charlie-tca> They are not compatible, so it probably is not possible at this time
[19:25] <_L30_> hmm
[19:25] <_L30_> burg can help?
[19:25] <renata> charlie-tca, I cannot get to grub menu,
[19:26] <charlie-tca> renata: tried switching screens with Ctrl+Alt+F1 or F4?
[19:26] <charlie-tca> I think your video card may have been obsoleted. Thus when the liveCD would not work, neither will the install, normally
[19:27] <charlie-tca> _L30_: burg ?? I don't this word
[19:27] <_L30_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Burg
[19:28] <renata> charlie-tca, it was all fine before reinstall... well not really, but at least it worked
[19:28] <charlie-tca> Probably have to go back to 9.10, then
[19:29] <renata> charlie-tca, thanks, I'll try that. Pitty I cannot get 10.04 working
[19:29] <_L30_> renata: even you can check that
[19:29] <charlie-tca> agreed. This might help ?? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution
[19:29] <_L30_> might help you
[19:30] <charlie-tca> _L30_: seems highly experimental
[19:30] <renata> charlie-tca, I do not understat a thing :)
[19:30] <_L30_> charlie-tca: i worked it out earlier
[19:31] <_L30_> i had my own welcome screen and grub loader with that
[19:31] <charlie-tca> still seems experimental. You are replacing Grub2 with something else
[19:34] <renata> So what is your best suggestion? Run karmic again?
[19:36] <_L30_> my work customizing xubuntu to the very extent that it looks my way :)
[19:36] <renata> can I boot the lucid liveCD with, let's say, xvesa, or sth?
[19:37] <charlie-tca> renata: you could try hitting F6 on the livecd and adding 'nomodeset' to the line.
[19:38] <charlie-tca> That is the equivalent to 'vesa' mode now
[19:39] <charlie-tca> If it works, you can use the livecd to modify the /etc/default/grub file to include that line on the installation
[19:39] <_L30_> charlie-tca: is of good help here ; i must say :)
[19:39] <charlie-tca> some days I can even do someone some good
[19:39] <renata> charlie-tca, this fails for though
[19:39] <_L30_> you are the one to reply me always :)
[19:39] <renata> charlie-tca, it still hangs after splash
[19:40] <charlie-tca> renata: I am out of ideas then. Only suggestion left is go back to karmic. Sorry
[19:41] <charlie-tca> you didn't remove quiet splash from the line?
[19:41] <renata> no, not really
[19:41] <charlie-tca> try it. remove them and add 'nomodeset'
[19:47] <renata> charlie-tca, no luck, just a buch of errors
[19:47] <charlie-tca> what kind of errors?
[19:48] <charlie-tca> are they pretty much the same or many different ones?
[19:48] <_L30_> renata: did you check the checksum?
[19:50] <renata> charlie-tca, many different one, I even cannot write them down. It seems the CD tries to load, but skips many things
[19:50] <renata> _L30_, no, I did not do that
[19:50] <charlie-tca> bad burn or bad download
[19:50] <_L30_> that can be issues many times
[19:50] <_L30_> just check that
[19:51] <renata> md5sum give me nothing on that iso
[19:51] <charlie-tca> Might want to try downloading from a different site, too. The mirror could be scrambled
[19:56] <renata> do I need any extra package to check md5sum?
[19:57] <charlie-tca> !md5
[20:01] <renata> I still cannot get my md5sum check, I get nothing after md5sum [iso]
[20:05] <charlie-tca> That would be 'not too good' type thing
[20:07] <renata> please, is there any package to check md5? I cannot get it checked
[20:11] <charlie-tca> this line fails to give anything? md5sum xubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso
[20:11] <charlie-tca> you do have to cd to the download directory
[20:12] <renata> charlie-tca, that's right, it does not give anything, terminal hangs
[20:14] <charlie-tca> It does take it about 2 minutes to return the checksum
[20:14] <renata> charlie-tca, ok, ill wait then :)
[20:15] <charlie-tca> and that's on a fast system
[20:16] <charlie-tca> you get a very long freeze, because it is calculating the md5sum for the cd, it just seems frozen
[20:18] <renata> charlie-tca, thanks, this was not mentioned on tutorial, it does seem as if md5sum command leads nowhere. Thanks
[20:18] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[20:18] <charlie-tca> My 64bit cd is taking more than 3 minutes
[20:19] <charlie-tca> cd
[20:21] <renata> charlie-tca, the md5sum is correct, that for a CD image that I got from another mirror, I'll try burning that and see it burns. I'll take some 10 mins. If that fails, I get to karmic again
[20:21] <charlie-tca> good luck
[20:31] <renata> charlie-tca, no luck
[20:31] <renata> charlie-tca, is there anyway get my laptop (which is not that old) boot lucid?
[20:31] <charlie-tca> I guess it is back to karmic, then. Keep an eye open, they may find a fix
[20:32] <charlie-tca> Tried everything that I know to try
[20:33] <charlie-tca> Is there still a 'safe graphics' mode on the livecd?
[20:33] <renata> charlie-tca, karmic ran fine, but one day my sister (who is using that laptop) got to me saying "nothing is working". The setting were set to default, programs crashed and so. no idea what happed. Thats why i went to reinstall
[20:33] <charlie-tca> Used to be hit F4, cursor to 'safe graphics', hit enter, hit escape, hit enter to install
[20:34] <charlie-tca> Almost sounds like it could be a hard drive failure. Try the karmic install and see if it will work.
[20:35] <charlie-tca> There is also the 'install karmic (9.10), then upgrade using 'update-manager' to 10.04
[20:35] <renata> charlie-tca, i've managed to save the data though
[20:35] <charlie-tca> sometimes that works when everything else fails
[20:35] <renata> thanks
[20:40] <renata> stdin: error 0
[20:40] <renata> this is what I get after pressing f4 on slash
[20:40] <renata> it's the same
[20:41] <renata> sorry, when I press esc on splash
[20:41] <renata> charlie-tca, 'shadow passwords are now on"
[20:42] <charlie-tca> Can you turn them off?
[20:43] <charlie-tca> shouldn't really make any difference
[20:45] <renata> charlie-tca, as Ive mentioned before, it seems as if CD wants to load but nothing happens
