| jimisrvrox | hey guys im having wireless problems that happen ever so often...do not want to have to reset my router...seems like the route table gets wiped on reboot and even applying a static IP doesnt allow to connect. Seems like the network-nm sees the router but will not connect. Any suggestions? | 03:32 |

| _strog | hi, i have freshly installed xubuntu and was trying out the possible resolution that my laptop can do, and now i have chosen a resolution that i cannot undo | 09:01 |
| _strog | how can i change the resolution from the console? | 09:02 |
| Sysi | how did you change it? | 09:02 |
| Sysi | and why can't undo | 09:03 |
| _strog | Sysi: because with this high resolution i only get either a black screen or with distorted lines | 09:04 |
| nicofs | Is there a way to reinstall xubuntu while keeping most of the files and settings? Is a backup of /home enough? | 09:17 |
| Sysi | there are your personal settings and data, not programs etc of course | 09:23 |
| nicofs | Sysi: I know... personally I don't exactly care about programs - except for thunderbird, as it has all my mail stored... | 09:28 |
| Sysi | they should also be in your home folder | 09:29 |
| nicofs | word order: ..., as it has stored all my mail... | 09:29 |
| Sysi | BTW, i could make a feature request for natty, put pavucontrol to default installation (i'll maybe put this to launchpad too) | 09:30 |
| nicofs | Sysi: do you think, thunderbird will regognise the files if I just put them in the new /home folder prior to installation? | 09:32 |
| nicofs | (installation of thunderbird, that is) | 09:32 |
| _strog | Sysi: well is there a possibility to change the resolution from the console? if so how? | 09:34 |
| Sysi | nicofs: it should afaik | 09:35 |
| Sysi | _strog: strongly depends how did you change it | 09:35 |
| _strog | Sysi: well i went through the Settings-Manager of xfce | 09:38 |
| Sysi | i can't find the config file but it should be possible.. | 09:41 |
| nicofs | What about using xrandr? | 09:42 |
| nicofs | (but that's not permanent...) | 09:42 |
| _strog | ?? | 09:43 |
| Sysi | not possible if can't log in | 09:43 |
| nicofs | oh... I see the problem... sorry. | 09:44 |
| Sysi | have you rebooted, sure xorg didn't just crash | 09:44 |

| Makdaam | hello, I've got a problem with my soundcard, speakers don't work anymore but the headphone jack works ok | 11:16 |
| Makdaam | no upgrades or reconfigurations happened between the "working" and "not working" state | 11:17 |
| Makdaam | running alsamixer and pulling all the controls down and up again + mute/unmute didn't help | 11:18 |
| TheSheep | does it have hardware volume control? | 11:18 |
| Makdaam | nope | 11:19 |
| Makdaam | I mean no potentiometer if you mean that | 11:19 |
| TheSheep | did you drop it or spill something on it? | 11:19 |
| Makdaam | nope | 11:19 |
| TheSheep | did you try it with other distro, or with livecd? | 11:21 |
| Makdaam | not yet | 11:21 |
| TheSheep | if it's broken too it may be a hardware problem | 11:21 |
| Makdaam | ok, brb checking on a different OS | 11:22 |
| Sysi | next guess: pulseaudio | 11:22 |
| Makdaam | TheSheep: I checked, and it's OS persistent, but not a hardware failure (BIOS uses the speakers properly) | 11:44 |
| Makdaam | so I'm guessing a firmware issue with the ICH chip | 11:44 |
| TheSheep | how does bios use them? | 11:45 |
| Makdaam | beep when wrong option/wrong password is entered | 11:45 |
| Makdaam | and I have no separate beeper | 11:45 |
| Makdaam | it's an HP laptop | 11:45 |
| TheSheep | that's pc speaker, usually separate from the soundcard | 11:45 |
| TheSheep | ah | 11:45 |
| TheSheep | but it still may be a separate chip | 11:45 |
| TheSheep | no idea | 11:46 |
| Makdaam | nope, disabling the internal speakers in BIOS turns off BIOS beeping | 11:46 |
| Makdaam | so does disabling the soundcard in BIOS | 11:46 |
| TheSheep | ok | 11:47 |
| TheSheep | I wonder, since quite some time each time I wake up the laptop from sleep all the sound controls are muted. Did somebody come up with a solution to that? | 12:14 |
| Sysi | i blame pulseaudio about everything | 12:15 |
| Sysi | exept that with it i wouldn't have needed to blacklist driver of my other soundcard | 12:16 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: I look for a solution, not for blame | 12:16 |
| Sysi | you could try without pulse | 12:16 |
| TheSheep | no, I like to have mutliple applications using the soundcard at the same time | 12:17 |
| Sysi | it should work with alsa too, on you it don't? | 12:18 |
| Makdaam | you could try a manual alsa mixer load | 12:18 |
| Makdaam | after each wake up | 12:18 |
| TheSheep | Makdaam: I'd rather have the thing that mutes is fixed | 12:19 |
| TheSheep | s/is/it | 12:19 |
| Sysi | anything on dmesg? | 12:19 |
| TheSheep | lots | 12:19 |
| Makdaam | how does pulse handle mixer controls? is it a file like in alsa? can you track which apps open the file/access the API? | 12:20 |

| discharge | hey, anyone have idea why when i click the logout panel button (or menu button) it doesnt show suspend as an option, although i have suspend set as an action to do for power button press and when it works... | 15:45 |
| Sysi | default xubuntu installation, what version? | 15:48 |
| discharge | Linux dischargelap 2.6.35-23-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 11:55:36 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 15:48 |
| discharge | yes, xubuntu install | 15:48 |
| charlie-tca | discharge, lsb_release -a | 15:49 |
| discharge | No LSB modules are available. | 15:50 |

| discharge | Release:10.10 | 15:50 |
| discharge | Codename:maverick | 15:50 |
| charlie-tca | 10.10 no longer shows suspend by default | 15:51 |
| discharge | why is that...? | 15:51 |
| charlie-tca | xfce changes | 15:51 |
| Sysi | what version of xfce 10.10 has? | 15:52 |
| charlie-tca | !info xfce4 | 15:52 |
| ubottu | xfce4 (source: xfce4): Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.6.2 (maverick), package size 7 kB, installed size 40 kB | 15:52 |
| discharge | okay, maybe they removed it for strange reasons, how to get it back? | 15:52 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know how to get it back | 15:55 |
| discharge | okay, not that i use it much but its annoying to not have it where it should be | 15:56 |
| charlie-tca | does ctrl+alt+escape work ? | 15:57 |
| charlie-tca | no, that is to lock the screen | 15:57 |
| discharge | it doesnt nothing for me | 15:58 |
| discharge | i dislike screen locking | 15:58 |
| discharge | for reason its useless when one can restart pc and gain access without pass | 15:58 |
| MrAnthrope | What is xubuntu? | 16:20 |
| sivakumar_ | MrAnthrope, it is channel for ubuntu | 16:21 |
| MrAnthrope | Then what is #Ubuntu for? | 16:24 |
| Sysi | !xubuntu | 16:24 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 16:24 |
| MrAnthrope | Oh I use gnome. I was just told to come in here and wasn't sure why. Now I'm really not sure why lol. | 16:25 |
| charlie-tca | who told you to come here? | 16:25 |
| charlie-tca | and from which channel? | 16:25 |
| MrAnthrope | from #Ubuntu. I can't remember. | 16:26 |
| MrAnthrope | Is xfce4 more lightweight than gnome? For older computers? | 16:26 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 16:27 |
| charlie-tca | on the lightweight. It is not just for older computers, though | 16:27 |
| MrAnthrope | Is Xubuntu recommended for ubuntu newbs? | 16:27 |
| charlie-tca | not really | 16:27 |
| discharge | why, xubuntu is working out of the box too | 16:27 |
| discharge | just its lighter | 16:27 |
| charlie-tca | It is better if you have some experience first, since it is harder to configure things | 16:27 |
| MrAnthrope | Maybe I'll just stick to gnome until I get the hang of all this. :) | 16:28 |
| charlie-tca | discharge, Ubuntu aims directly at the new users. Xubuntu doesn't make it easy for them | 16:34 |
| Sysi | most of howto:s are for gnome | 16:35 |
| Sysi | and there are more gnome users | 16:35 |
| Sysi | i still could recommend xfce for newbie (and i started with it myself) | 16:35 |
| charlie-tca | As long as we are aware that there will be many questions about how to make things work | 16:36 |

| ubuntu | Hey | 20:06 |
| === ubuntu is now known as RightLegRed | ||
| RightLegRed | Could I get some help with installing Ubuntu? | 20:07 |
| charlie-tca | Please ask your question all in one line. All of us are volunteers and will attempt to answer if we know. | 20:08 |
| RightLegRed | Alright, basically. My problem is that I want to install to a partition I made earlier - named arch linux - but it keeps telling me I need a root, I don't know what to do. Could someone assist me with this? | 20:09 |
| charlie-tca | Are you using the desktop or alternate cd? | 20:09 |
| Sysi | set that partitoon to moun point of / | 20:09 |
| Sysi | *partition to mounpoint | 20:10 |
| RightLegRed | charlie-tca: I don't understand the question, sorry. I'm using the installer, I've booted from a CD | 20:10 |
| charlie-tca | solerant-dc|away, you choose manual partition, then you have to choose the size | 20:11 |
| charlie-tca | Then you pick the filesystem, the mountpoint, which is a dropdown, with things like / /home /var etc. | 20:12 |
| charlie-tca | pick / from the list | 20:12 |
| charlie-tca | well, ignore the nick and do the rest | 20:12 |
| charlie-tca | this xchat auto-replaces s o with a nick for some reason | 20:12 |
| charlie-tca | so | 20:13 |
| charlie-tca | So | 20:13 |
| charlie-tca | well, it does something stupid, at least | 20:13 |
| Sysi | how much default xubuntu installation uses disk space? | 20:13 |
| charlie-tca | 1.4 gb or there abouts | 20:14 |
| Sysi | great | 20:14 |
| charlie-tca | I haven't measured it in Natty yet | 20:14 |
| Sysi | i'll need to do usb installation that boots on mac | 20:15 |
| charlie-tca | I'm thinking that should be interesting. Lots of macs have issues booting from usb | 20:15 |
| Sysi | if i make gpt partition table it should work, not sure though | 20:17 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know, myself. I have plugged in a usb thumbdrive and installed to it on non-mac, though | 20:18 |
| jtmoney | Unity will be installed by default in Natty? Time to find a new distro, I'm afraid. | 20:59 |
| jtmoney | Any suggestions? | 20:59 |
| Sysi | it won't be in xubuntu | 21:00 |
| === Pici` is now known as Pici | ||
| Sysi | (so that's suggestion too) | 21:00 |
| Sysi | iirc you can use regular gnome too | 21:00 |
| jtmoney | Sysi, I just installed Natty Alpha 1 and it was installed by default. Or, at least, looked entirely different. | 21:01 |
| Sysi | that doesn't mean you couldn't use regular one | 21:03 |
| jtmoney | How would do I do that? At the login screen? | 21:05 |
| Sysi | idk, this is xfce channel, and for stable versions | 21:05 |
| charlie-tca | jtmoney, instead of unity, you can choose to use "Classic Desktop session" when logging in | 22:03 |
| charlie-tca | Then it will be the gnome session | 22:03 |
| jtmoney | charlie-tca, but I really only want XFCE. | 22:09 |
| jtmoney | I'm installing Debian + XFCE now. :( | 22:09 |
| charlie-tca | Great. Thanks for stopping by then | 22:10 |
| jtmoney | Uhh, is this channel not #xubuntu? | 22:10 |
| jtmoney | Is my question not Xubuntu-related? | 22:11 |
| charlie-tca | Debian + XFCE is not Xubuntu related. | 22:11 |
| charlie-tca | Nor is Ubuntu with unity or gnome | 22:11 |
| jtmoney | Yeah, that's my last ditch effort. | 22:11 |
| jtmoney | I just want regular Xubuntu 11.04 A1... and it comes with Unity as far as I can tell. | 22:12 |
| jtmoney | My question is how to disable that without resulting to drastic measures. | 22:12 |
| jtmoney | Got it? | 22:12 |
| charlie-tca | no,. it doesn | 22:12 |
| charlie-tca | it does not | 22:12 |
| jtmoney | I wonder what the hell I installed then. | 22:12 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu does not have unity. It uses the same wallpaper and gdm background as maverick | 22:12 |
| jtmoney | Must have been ubuntu. | 22:13 |
| charlie-tca | If you got something else, it was not Xubuntu | 22:13 |
| jtmoney | It had some weird bar at the bottom and no labels on the top panel. | 22:13 |
| charlie-tca | That's not unity either | 22:13 |
| jtmoney | Do you know what that is? | 22:14 |
| charlie-tca | Unity is the Ubuntu maverick light wallpaper with a black top panel and a left-side panel in black with 4 launchers on it | 22:14 |
| charlie-tca | no idea what that was | 22:14 |
| jtmoney | Hmm, maybe something strange with 11.04 A 1. | 22:14 |
| jtmoney | Xubuntu that is. | 22:15 |
| charlie-tca | It works right here | 22:15 |
| jtmoney | Okay, I'll try again. | 22:15 |
| jtmoney | You're running Alpha 1? | 22:15 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 22:16 |
| jtmoney | Okay, I'll try again, thanks. | 22:16 |
| jtmoney | Are you running it on a netbook by any chance? | 22:16 |
| charlie-tca | no | 22:16 |
| charlie-tca | Doesn't matter, Xubuntu only has one desktop | 22:17 |
| charlie-tca | Ubuntu has both gnome and unity | 22:17 |
| discharge | hello, anyone can help me with a disappearing sound icon bug? when i killall xfce-panel and respawn it manually, it is there, but when ubuntu starts it doesnt show | 23:07 |
