| Chaiwalla | Problem: When I boot up Xubuntu, it shows my desktop pictures, and desktop icons (Home, Recycle Bin etc.) for a few seconds, then it HIDES THE DESKTOP BACKGROUND and the ICONS. and shows me a plain BROWN background. How do I fix this? | 06:12 |
| moetunes | Chaiwalla: if you can open a terminal check if the desktop manager is running with ps aux | grep xfdesktop | 06:21 |
| Chaiwalla | hmm | 06:25 |
| Chaiwalla | ok I'll try that in a minute, its doing an update | 06:25 |
| Chaiwalla | what exactly does that command do "ps aux | grep xfdesktop" | 06:25 |
| moetunes | it checks all running processes for a match to xfdesktop | 06:27 |
| moetunes | and returns a match or nothing | 06:27 |
| Chaiwalla | ok I typed it | 06:27 |
| Chaiwalla | it gave a bunch of numbers and then says xfdesktop in read | 06:28 |
| Chaiwalla | red | 06:28 |
| Chaiwalla | what do I do? | 06:30 |
| moetunes | I would try in terminal killall -v xfdesktop && xfdesktop & and see if it returns errors or gets the wallpaper and icons back | 06:30 |
| Chaiwalla | "killall -v xfdesktop && xfdesktop &" | 06:30 |
| Chaiwalla | type that? | 06:30 |
| moetunes | yep | 06:31 |
| moetunes | no quotes tho | 06:31 |
| Chaiwalla | yeah | 06:31 |
| moetunes | :] | 06:31 |
| Chaiwalla | ok lemme try that | 06:33 |
| Chaiwalla | moetunes | 06:45 |
| Chaiwalla | I typed it | 06:45 |
| moetunes | and? | 06:45 |
| Chaiwalla | and xfcedesktop: no process found | 06:45 |
| moetunes | it is xfdesktop not xfcedesktop | 06:46 |
| Chaiwalla | I mean xfdesktop: no processfound | 06:46 |
| Chaiwalla | I types it correctly | 06:46 |
| moetunes | so try xfdesktop & - we are trying to see if it gives errors | 06:47 |
| Chaiwalla | what do I type? put it in quotes so I don't mess up | 06:48 |
| Chaiwalla | I just typed "xfdesktop" and pressed enter to see what happened | 06:48 |
| Chaiwalla | and it made my desktop come back :-) | 06:49 |
| moetunes | that's fne | 06:49 |
| Chaiwalla | how can I make sure it stays that way? | 06:49 |
| Chaiwalla | maybe I'll try rebooting and see what happens | 06:49 |
| moetunes | I would | 06:49 |
| jrmy | the desktop? | 06:52 |
| jrmy | as in x? | 06:52 |
| jrmy | sounds like fail | 06:52 |
| moetunes | <Chaiwalla> Problem: When I boot up Xubuntu, it shows my desktop pictures, and desktop icons (Home, Recycle Bin etc.) for a few seconds, then it HIDES THE DESKTOP BACKGROUND and the ICONS. and shows me a plain BROWN background. How do I fix this? | 06:52 |
| moetunes | xfdesktop starts then fails | 06:53 |
| Chaiwalla | I'm rebooting now | 06:53 |
| Chaiwalla | and I clicked to save session | 06:53 |
| moetunes | luck | 06:53 |
| moetunes | good idea | 06:53 |
| jrmy | i remember when i had a problem with gnome.. the panels wouldnt show up | 06:54 |
| jrmy | it was a nightmare | 06:54 |
| Chaiwalla | question | 07:12 |
| Chaiwalla | can I have a slide show in Ristretto? | 07:12 |
| jrmy | why do i have to pay for shipping when getting a free xubuntu cd/dvd? | 07:41 |
| jrmy | what is the command for play, next, last, and stop for keystrokes pertaining to music playing? | 08:25 |
| moetunes | depends on what you use to play 'em | 08:26 |
| jrmy | well if im using rhythm box does it use the system keys? | 08:27 |
| jrmy | er whatever | 08:27 |
| moetunes | I don't use it but I'm sure in terminal man rhythmbox will tell - or there will be something in the menu | 08:28 |
| jrmy | well i setup volume keys | 08:29 |
| jrmy | i would think there would be commands for those as well | 08:30 |
| jrmy | well anyone know the commands for play, stop, next, and previous? | 08:41 |
| jrmy | bummer | 09:02 |
| jrmy | to bad ubuntu isnt lightweight. it was much easier setting up shortcut keys for system commands | 09:03 |
| moetunes | I did sugeest looking at rhythmboxs' menu | 09:03 |
| moetunes | suggest even | 09:03 |
| jrmy | i can already use the shortcuts provided i just want to setup the system command ones | 09:04 |
| jrmy | nvm these dont work outside of the program | 09:05 |
| moetunes | I don't know what you mean by "system command ones" - I've made bash scripts to use amixer to change the volume using keyboard shortcuts | 09:06 |
| jrmy | and furthermore there doesnt seem to be a way to find what it is you suggested otherwise | 09:06 |
| jrmy | one sec | 09:06 |
| jrmy | aumix -v0, aumix -v10, aumix +10.. will control volume | 09:08 |
| jrmy | first is mute second volume down 10 and volume up 10 | 09:08 |
| jrmy | these are commands | 09:08 |
| moetunes | I use amixer -qc 0 set Headphone 5%+ to turn it up here | 09:09 |
| jrmy | well what would make it stop, play, next and previous? | 09:09 |
| jrmy | v is volume obviously | 09:09 |
| moetunes | again man rhythmbox will give a clue on that | 09:10 |
| moetunes | or ask again in a bit when more folk are awake | 09:11 |
| jrmy | ah.. its late anyways | 09:11 |
| sinichiro | hello | 14:24 |
| knome | !hi | sinichiro | 14:28 |
| ubottu | sinichiro: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 14:28 |
| sinichiro | Okay. I have internet coming into my xubuntu with a lan cable and I've been trying to get that laptop to transmit the internet over wifi to my xp laptop with no success. | 15:51 |
| Sysi | click icon in panel "create new wireless" ? | 15:52 |
| sinichiro | Did that. The wifi network even shows up on xp. | 15:52 |
| sinichiro | Alas xp can't get a single byte from the internet. | 15:53 |
| Sysi | it should just work.. | 15:53 |
| sinichiro | So they say. | 15:53 |
| Sysi | what wireless card? | 15:54 |
| Sysi | can you check it's not in xp machine? | 15:54 |
| sinichiro | Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller in xubuntu laptop | 15:56 |
| Sysi | propietary driver? | 15:57 |
| sinichiro | Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG in xp laptop | 15:57 |
| sinichiro | Yup, proprietary as usual for Broadcom. | 15:59 |
| sinichiro | When I tried to do it from xp's side - as in plug the lan into xp and share wifi to xubuntu - the wifi network didn't show up on xubuntu's wifi llist. | 16:00 |
| sinichiro | Both laptops can connect to regular wifi networks floating around here, so whatever is wrong is wrong with the adhoc I'm trying to create. | 16:02 |
