| peacememories | ah, #ubuntu is too crowded -.- | 00:20 |

| peacememories | maybe someone here can help (sorry to bother you) | 00:21 |
| peacememories | i have a weird problem with my laptop | 00:21 |
| peacememories | it occurs only on linux but on every linux i've tried so far | 00:21 |
| peacememories | the problem, in general is, that whenever i stop moving my mouse, the computer seems to fall asleep | 00:21 |
| peacememories | one example: i try playing a flash-movie (1080p). if i move my mouse during the whole movie, it runs smoothly | 00:22 |
| peacememories | if i stop moving my mouse, the video glitches every few seconds, which makes it unwatchable | 00:22 |
| peacememories | but it's not only flash. if i download something and don't move my mouse for a while, the download just gets stuck. and when i move the mouse again, it displays something like "2kbs" and wont go up again | 00:23 |
| peacememories | the same thing with media playback of any sort | 00:24 |
| peacememories | help? please? *snif* | 00:25 |
| charlie-tca | check the power management settings? It sounds like it is going to sleep or hibernate or something similar | 00:27 |
| peacememories | i disabled the "cpu frequency control" in the power settings so far... unfortunately i don't know much about powersaving-settings on linux | 00:28 |
| charlie-tca | Usually they are set to default about 15 minutes | 00:28 |
| charlie-tca | depends on the distribution. I think in Ubuntu they are under system -> Preferences -> power manager or screensaver | 00:29 |
| peacememories | i have xubuntu 10.10 | 00:29 |
| peacememories | or 9.10 ? | 00:30 |
| peacememories | the current dist, anyway XD | 00:30 |
| charlie-tca | Then they are under Applications -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Power Management | 00:30 |
| peacememories | well, that's exactly the same i get when clicking on the xfce-battery-plugin | 00:31 |
| peacememories | it's set to never suspend the machine | 00:31 |
| peacememories | setting the powermizer-settings to maximum power doesn't help either... | 00:34 |
| peacememories | augh... i can't think of any solution... -.- | 00:39 |

| Balsaq | silence is golden in the cerebral labyrinth known as...Xubuntu!!! | 09:29 |
| akis | is there any possibility for xubuntu to recognize my pcmcia tp-link wl310g wireless card? | 09:35 |
| Balsaq | do u run buntu inside of windows? | 09:39 |
| akis | no i want to clean install xubuntu and i am wondering because wireless card is the most important thing for me because otherwise i dont have internet access | 09:45 |
| knome | akis, try with live cd | 09:45 |
| akis | yep that's the a good idea i am looking already to realize it. please write here the link for it. is it possible to find live cd for older xubuntu versions, because my system has only 256 mb ram and 10.10 must be heavy enough. | 09:47 |
| knome | akis, the desktop iso works as live cd | 09:49 |
| knome | bbl-> | 09:49 |
| Sysi | older than 8.04 if even that are not supported anymore | 09:50 |
| Sysi | newer that that have about same ram usage i think | 09:51 |
| Sysi | !lubuntu | 09:52 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 09:52 |
| Sysi | it's more about prigrams you use, xubuntu should still work on 256, i recommend LTS 10.04 | 09:52 |
| Balsaq | its awful slow on 256 whew | 09:53 |
| akis | u mean that the desktop iso that is available for hd installation runs also as live? | 10:15 |
| Sysi | yes | 10:15 |
| akis | thanks. i have already some older versions of xubuntu. do they also run as live-cd's? | 10:19 |

| nicofs | apart from that I'd be happy with any gui solution... | 14:23 |
| nicofs | why isn't that integrated in xubuntu? just click on the battery/power logo and choose between low/high/ondemand. that's what I have in mind... like in windows/ubuntu... | 14:31 |
| Sysi | like governor panel plugin? | 14:31 |
| nicofs | well, is that what governor does? | 14:32 |
| Sysi | exactly | 14:32 |
| Sysi | add to panel, if not available by default: install xfce-governor-plugin | 14:32 |
| Sysi | not sure about name | 14:32 |
| nicofs | I think I tried that before and it didn't work... but that was pre 10.10 | 14:33 |

| anarsoul | hi there | 19:31 |
| anarsoul | I have a problem with dual screen setup in xubuntu-10.10 | 19:32 |
| anarsoul | I did xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080 --below LVDS1, and got VGA1 enabled | 19:32 |
| anarsoul | so I see wallpaper on it (and on my primary screen - LVDS1) | 19:32 |
| anarsoul | and I can move mouse between them | 19:32 |
| anarsoul | but I can't move window to VGA1, xfwm4 disallows to move it below LVDS1, i.e. it stops moving when window header is near panel | 19:33 |
| anarsoul | I'm sure xfwm4 is guilty, as I checked with openbox and it works OK | 19:34 |
| anarsoul | is it known issue? and is there any workaround/fix? | 19:34 |
| anarsoul | LVDS1 has 1280x800 | 19:35 |
| anarsoul | and I'm using intel gma950 | 19:36 |
| Sysi | move panel to other side of screen | 19:36 |
| anarsoul | Sysi: I want to keep it on LVDS1 | 19:37 |
| anarsoul | :) | 19:37 |
| Sysi | same screen, different position | 19:37 |
| anarsoul | Sysi: will check in ~40 minutes, right now VGA1 is a bit busy :) | 19:39 |
| domi007 | hello | 19:39 |

| anarsoul | Sysi: it works OK when panel is freely moveable | 20:25 |
| anarsoul | but when it's at fixed position it does not work | 20:25 |
| anarsoul | :( | 20:25 |
| anarsoul | well, it even works if panel is at top of LVDS1 | 20:25 |

| MaximumResults | Any Xubuntu gurus here? | 21:16 |
| charlie-tca | !ask | MaximumResults | 21:18 |
| ubottu | MaximumResults: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:18 |
| MaximumResults | OK. Sorry, new here. | 21:18 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, no problem | 21:18 |
| * charlie-tca thinks that was a better answer then "No, we just like the peace and quiet here" :-) | 21:19 | |
| MaximumResults | I'm setting up Xubuntu on a "new" (to me) Dell Inspiron 1150. I installed 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). A few issues I notice. | 21:19 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 21:19 |
| MaximumResults | 1) The power button doesn't do anything at all. | 21:19 |
| MaximumResults | I've tried to set it up to hibernate on the power button in the settings, | 21:19 |
| MaximumResults | but the button doesn't seem to work, except that holding it for 10 seconds or so will do a hard poweroff. | 21:20 |
| charlie-tca | Is it set up in the bios to work as hibernate? | 21:20 |
| MaximumResults | There isn't anything in the BIOS setup for the power button (at least I haven't found anything). | 21:21 |
| MaximumResults | In Windoze, it will trigger the "Turn off" computer window (restart/power off/sleep choices) | 21:21 |
| MaximumResults | But Xubuntu seems to ignore the button entirely. | 21:22 |
| Sysi | press it and type dmesg in terminal | 21:22 |
| MaximumResults | nothing in dmesg after pressing the button | 21:23 |
| Sysi | if kernel don't know that button, not much to do propably | 21:24 |
| MaximumResults | and no changes at all in the /var/log directory when I push the power button. | 21:24 |
| MaximumResults | OK. So it's just broken. I guess I can live with that. | 21:25 |
| MaximumResults | I also can't seem to add a keyboard shortcut. | 21:25 |
| MaximumResults | I go to applications->Settings->XFCE4 settings manager, click the Keyboard icon | 21:26 |
| MaximumResults | and go to the "Application Shortcuts" tab. | 21:26 |
| MaximumResults | There used to be a "Themes" thing on the left and shortcuts on the right. | 21:26 |
| Sysi | for some fn thing in my homemade kernel i can't check if pressing powerbutton does something in dmesg | 21:26 |
| MaximumResults | But in 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, it seems the "Themes" side is gone. | 21:26 |
| charlie-tca | so you hit the "Add" button ? | 21:26 |
| MaximumResults | Yeah, I click add | 21:27 |
| MaximumResults | and I put in a command, but there's no place to select which key to assign it to. | 21:27 |
| charlie-tca | and you type in your command, like "shutdown" | 21:27 |
| charlie-tca | then you click okay | 21:27 |
| MaximumResults | When I click OK, it takes me back to the keyboard shortcuts tab. No changes. | 21:27 |
| MaximumResults | Just the default shortcuts listed. | 21:28 |
| charlie-tca | shut and you get a new box, don't you? | 21:28 |
| MaximumResults | It never asks for which key. | 21:28 |
| charlie-tca | It should have given another box after Okay, states Command shortcut | 21:28 |
| charlie-tca | You hit the key you want assigned that command, and it exits to the shortcuts tab at that point? | 21:29 |
| MaximumResults | It just did this time. | 21:29 |
| MaximumResults | And I hit the key I wanted to assign, and it looks like it worked. | 21:29 |
| charlie-tca | If you don't pay close attention, you probably hit "Cancel" and that second box goes away without any questions | 21:30 |
| MaximumResults | I swear I was paying attention, and that box wasn't coming up. | 21:30 |
| MaximumResults | It does now. | 21:30 |
| MaximumResults | So I'm good. | 21:30 |
| charlie-tca | hey, one out of two isn't too bad | 21:31 |
| MaximumResults | I just assigned a key to /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh So that should give me a way to hibernate from pushing a key combination. | 21:31 |
| MaximumResults | Which is almost as good as using the power switch. | 21:31 |
| MaximumResults | I'm about to try it and see if it works. | 21:31 |
| charlie-tca | Also, be aware, it should ask for your password to come out of hibernate, I think | 21:31 |
| MaximumResults | Ooops. Nothing happened. | 21:32 |
| MaximumResults | $ /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh | 21:32 |
| MaximumResults | This utility may only be run by the root user. | 21:32 |
| MaximumResults | Looks like I'll have to change the shortcut to sudo /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh | 21:33 |
| MaximumResults | Will stuff from a keyboard shortcut run in a terminal? | 21:34 |
| charlie-tca | as far as I know, but I could be wrong | 21:35 |
| MaximumResults | I guess I'll find out. | 21:35 |
| charlie-tca | It should still invoke, I think, since Alt+F2 does | 21:35 |
| MaximumResults | Where does sudo log it's accesses? | 21:38 |
| MaximumResults | It's not doing anything. It doesn't start in a terminal. | 21:39 |
| charlie-tca | I would look in /var/log/syslog | 21:39 |
| MaximumResults | Nothing was happening. Nothing in the logs. | 21:45 |
| MaximumResults | I'm changing it to xterm -e 'sudo /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh' | 21:46 |
| charlie-tca | Do you have a big enough swap partition to hibernate? | 21:47 |
| MaximumResults | that works. It pops up a terminal and asks for the password. | 21:47 |
| MaximumResults | Now if I can remember how to add that command to the sudoers file so that it doesn't ask for password and only works without the password from the localhost (not for someone logged in remotely, not that anyone should be logged in remotely). | 21:48 |
| MaximumResults | Yeah, it can hibernate. | 21:48 |
| MaximumResults | I also notice that I don't get a "Hibernate" button in the shutdown choices when I click on the logout/shutdown button at the upper right. I have to right click the battery (xfce4-power-manager) and select "Hibernate" from that menu. | 21:49 |
| MaximumResults | well, for now I have it where I can hit Ctl-alt-H and hibernate. I might add a "are you sure" prompt. | 21:52 |
| MaximumResults | Thanks for the help. I don't know what I was doing wrong before with the keyboard shortcuts. | 21:53 |
| charlie-tca | If they hit the right combination, they should be sure. | 21:53 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 21:53 |
