[00:00] I need help. When my mouse is inactive, after 5 sec my display dims down and after 20 the display shuts down. in settings manager I specified it not to do that - but it still does. [00:01] how can i get the tv out to work properly [00:01] nicofs, you turned it off in power settings, it might be a bios setting instead of software. [00:01] Cael, you probably have to set up /etc/xorg.conf file to tell it what to do [00:02] charlie-tca: it wasn't there before, and apart from boot order, I didn't change a thing... [00:02] The file does not exist, but if created it is used [00:03] charlie-tca: I'll quickly check my modem anyway... hang on... [00:03] charlie-tca: sorry... bios... it's late... [00:06] charlie-tca: fool-proof bios. can't change anything apart from boot order... [00:07] hm, check all the tabs in power management then. [00:08] I did. I deactivated everything. no dimming down, no switching off... [00:08] oh, yeah, check the advanced tab in screensaver, too [00:08] display power management. That overrides power management in xfce [00:10] charlie-tca: nope. nothing... [00:10] Anyone else? I am out of knowledge now [00:12] I think I'll go to bed anyway... [00:22] Is there an easier way to get icons in the top panel than creating them from scratch? I'd just like some of the same ones in the applications menu [00:23] gn8 [00:24] fructose, creating the launchers? [00:24] charlie-tca: Right [00:24] I do them from scratch using the /usr/share/applications files for the information [00:25] You can even copy/paste the information for everything but the icon [00:25] charlie-tca, im connected at the linux pc. [00:25] now what did i need to do again in the xorg.conf? [00:26] You need to create it [00:26] /etc/X11/ or? [00:26] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:27] ok can you give me an idea how it should look like/ [00:27] it has an Geforce FX 5200 PCI video card [00:27] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/dexconf.1.html [00:29] ughh i hate this pare mouse it doesnt right click. how can i in xchat? [00:29] this might help, too - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/MonitorDetection [00:30] center button sometimes pastes [00:31] (its an old Mac "Hocky puck" USB Mouse) [00:31] oh-oh [00:31] don't know what to do with that one [00:31] ok i just got greeted by hardware drivers for the vid card [00:32] rev 96 or 173? [00:32] In xchat, can't you left click to open the link in the browser? [00:32] My guess is 173 [00:32] in Ychat (xchat for windows) i always had to right click [00:33] You are right. left-click hilites it [00:33] then ctrl+c will copy it [00:34] then ctrl+v will paste it [00:35] ok [00:37] After you create that file, you log out and log in to activate it [00:41] I have to go now. Good luck. [01:05] moetunes, hmm, ok, never occured to me that I could get ride of the desktop? [01:07] Where can I find the running applications? They do not seem to be anywhere... === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [04:31] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZSAZ_2dKWijGqFsmobCF4ZRxJFf_PgBz5cYoSBVzBRc/edit?authkey=CKCy784L# [04:32] eem questionaire about programms form xubuntu users [04:39] * psycho_oreos blinks [05:56] so, how does one make all windows transparent in xfce? xD [05:59] hmmm maybe look into running compiz [06:18] i guess i'll have to do that xD [09:07] My energy saving settings are wrong and I can't change them. Power Manager has no effect. if my mouse is idle my display dims instantly and shuts off after 20 seconds. [09:07] Need to change my power settings too [09:08] have you checked you don't have gnome-power-manager running [09:08] Sysi: purged that as a first step... [09:10] Sysi: only xfce4-power-manager and xscreensaver are running. and I configured them (GUI)... [09:13] Sysi: what would be the bash command to stop and restart xfce4-power-manager? [09:17] killall xfce4-power-manager [09:19] Sysi: the problem still persists... so it's not coming from power manager... [09:20] ps -e | grep power [09:20] nothing [09:20] kill the screensaver [09:21] TheSheep: done already, right after manager... [09:21] and still? [09:23] and still. [09:23] at least you know now that it's neither of them [09:24] TheSheep: ... [09:24] nicofs: just a thought, does it also happen if you switch to text console? [09:25] TheSheep: you're thinking in terms of bios settings? [09:25] nicofs: I'm thinking alt+ctrl+f1 (alt+f7 to go back) [09:26] TheSheep: I know how to change to console... and there it dims as well... I meant "Do you suspect it could be a bios setting?" [09:26] nicofs: I was suspecting it may be the graphics driver, but if it happens in text mode then it can' [09:26] t [09:27] so either bios or hardware [09:27] tried other distros? [09:27] TheSheep: ah... I see... For all I know, it might be BIOS, but if it was BIOS I couldn't do anything about it. mine is fool-proof. I can't change anything apart from boot order... [09:28] why couldn't it be graphics driver if it happens on text console? [09:28] TheSheep: had Lubuntu from USB key yesterday. no dimming [09:28] Sysi: it could, but it would be less likely [09:28] nicofs: actually you could stop gdm and see [09:31] TheSheep: I only have gdm-binary, gdm-simple-slav and gdm-session-wor, according to ps -e | grep gdm [09:32] nicofs: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [09:32] nicofs: in text console [09:33] oh, gui irc clint [09:33] clent [09:35] dims even without gdm... [09:35] :( === Thermi_ is now known as Thermi [09:36] are the energy settings written down somewhere? [09:42] if I just purge power manager and install again? [10:03] I think, all my settings are overruled by something else. even if I hit the power button in the panel (set to "ask what to do"), it simply logs out. it's completely wrong. [10:05] you could try logging out and removing all settings from text console [10:05] where are they stored? [10:05] rm -rf .config/xfce4 [10:07] Sysi: isn't it a bit risky to remove all that? [10:07] it just makes it to load default settings [10:08] ok... just log out or stop the xfce session? [10:08] works better then [10:09] ok... back in a moment... [10:17] no change... [12:02] hi [12:03] got a problem instal to hp2133mini notebook [12:03] display problem [12:03] i got now run ubuntu 10.10 [15:57] good morning [17:56] how do i persistently change my screen resolution using xorg.conf? i don't understand "man xorg.conf" or the tutorials i found...
