[03:29] <ahh_> Hi, I can't seem to get audio to work on my ancient Toshiba Portege 3440CT. any ideas?
[03:29] <ahh_> aplay -l gives me this:
[03:29] <ahh_> **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
[03:29] <ahh_> card 0: I440MX [Intel 440MX], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel 440MX]
[03:29] <ahh_>   Subdevices: 1/1
[03:29] <ahh_>   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[03:34] <bioterror> check the volumes with alsamixer
[03:38] <ahh_> cheers
[03:38] <ahh_> pcm out was disabled
[03:40] <bioterror> np ;)
[03:44] <ahh_> there is one strange problem though which I didn't have with vanilla Ubuntu 10.10 (this is Lubuntu 10.10) The audio is output through the laptop speakers and my stereo at the same time. I'd prefer to have it play on my stereo only when I plug in the mini jack.
[03:44] <ahh_> any idea why that might be?
[03:46] <bioterror> that's weird
[03:46] <bioterror> my lubuntu doesnt do that
[03:49] <ahh_> my setup is a bit different I guess. the audio jack is on the attached docking station
[03:49] <bioterror> hmmm
[03:49] <bioterror> that should not change anything
[03:49] <ahh_> just tried plugging in the mini jack to the actual laptop and that silenced the laptop speakers
[03:50] <bioterror> technically that's a bug
[03:50] <bioterror> can someone confirm?
[03:50] <bioterror> I've not seen my laptops ultrabay for a ½ year :D
[03:50] <bioterror> I cant check it
[03:53] <ahh_> :D
[03:53] <ahh_> thanks anyway for your help. At least I've got audio now ;)
[03:58] <ahh_> thanks again. gn
[09:13] <jussi> How does one set a user to autologin on lubuntu?
[09:24] <bioterror> are you a finn?

[11:59] <kosaidpo> hello guys
[11:59] <kosaidpo> anynoe here
[12:00] <hungtran> hello
[12:00] <kosaidpo> i have xls files and iwanna cut off a part of it n  put in a text file i do this  cut -d , -f 1 "promotion immobiliere.xls" > test.txt  but i cant read the that file
[12:01] <kosaidpo> hungtran: hello can you help please
[12:01] <hyperair> kosaidpo: xls isn't a plain-text format. cut only works on a plain-text format. you'll have to dump it out into a .csv file first.
[12:02] <hyperair> kosaidpo: both excel and openoffice calc have that feature.
[12:02] <hyperair> after that you can run that command, replacing xls with csv
[12:02] <kosaidpo> hyperair: i have Gnumeric  in lubuntu
[12:13] <kosaidpo> guys i cant find where ican export files to csv
[12:13] <kosaidpo> anyone can help
[12:15] <phillw> gilir: (12:09:58) JoeMaverickSett: lxpanel segmentation fault on lubuntu natty alpha. :|
[12:15] <phillw> (12:10:29) phillw: JoeMaverickSett: maybe report it on lubuntu?
[12:15] <phillw> (12:10:44) phillw: our developers do not use this channel :D
[12:15] <phillw> (12:10:56) JoeMaverickSett: phillw: i can't my lan isn't auto connecting. how do i do that from terminal?
[12:15] <phillw> (12:11:00) JoeMaverickSett: eth0
[12:16] <JoeMaverickSett> :D thanks phillw :P
[12:18] <phillw> kosaidpo: does gnumeric not have a "Save As" button?
[12:19] <kosaidpo> phillw: tied that but still like .xls
[12:20] <phillw> kosaidpo: when you "Save As" it should give the option to save as csv, but you do need to choose that, else it will just use the default .xls
[12:21] <kosaidpo> yehh i modified that name and it gives a gedit icon but when i open it it does with gnumeic well
[12:21] <kosaidpo> ill try with cmmd n see if it ll wok tho
[12:23] <kosaidpo> it doesnt work :P
[12:23] <phillw> kosaidpo: I'm installing Gnumeric now, it will take a few minutes.
[12:23] <kosaidpo> okies thanks phillw
[12:32] <kosaidpo> phillw: uhn you find any ?
[12:33] <kosaidpo> i guess i need this thingy called druid
[12:33] <phillw> kosaidpo: It's only just installed
[12:33] <kosaidpo> text import
[12:33] <kosaidpo> here http://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/doc/file-format-csv.shtml phillw
[12:33] <phillw> kosaidpo: remember that I am on a usb 3G device, so my download speed is not high.
[12:35] <kosaidpo> phillw: ihih sure me too :D we ae in the same boat no worries mine its written on it up to  3.6 Mbps
[12:35] <kosaidpo> but if ask the constructor they ll say its in theory only  lamers
[12:36] <phillw> kosaidpo: saving as csv works perfectly for me.
[12:37] <kosaidpo> ohhh please then try to cut that file or open it with gedit
[12:37] <phillw> I have a spreadsheet open in gedit
[12:37] <kosaidpo> yeh it does to me too but icant get from it wht iwant ( which is get only few row )
[12:37] <phillw> via csv saving
[12:37] <kosaidpo> :P
[12:38] <phillw> the file name, when you save it should have .csv at the end of it
[12:38] <kosaidpo> yehh in its extention
[12:38] <kosaidpo> i kno
[12:39] <kosaidpo> but i cant open it with gedit
[12:41] <kosaidpo> phillw: ill go pay first okies thanks for your time : D
[12:41]  * kosaidpo goin to pray brb
[12:41] <phillw> kosaidpo: I have no idea why it is not working for you. try asking on #ubuntu-beginners. Else if you email me the file I will have a look at it for you.
[13:48] <Yorvyk> OK, who killed Natty! Anybody else having problems with the panel go berserk and flickering on and of
[14:11] <Mossyfunk> boo
[14:11]  * szczur almost got scared :)
[14:11] <Mossyfunk> =P
[14:13] <Mossyfunk> K so I got my windows 7 gaming machine connected to our wireless router, hoiwever my lubuntu box only has a wired LAN. I have the 2 computers connected via the onboard ethernet ports. My question is, how3 can I share my windows internet connection with my lubuntu box? I don't need to share files or anything just use the net
[14:16] <Yorvyk> Doesn’t Win7 have an Internet sharing option?
[14:17] <szczur> Mossyfunk, http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Using-ICS-Internet-Connection-Sharing
[14:20] <Mossyfunk> ahhh screw it i'll just use a router =P
[14:20] <szczur> Mossyfunk, or version with screenshots > http://www.windowsreference.com/windows-vista/step-by-step-internet-connection-sharing-ics-setup-in-vista/
[14:21] <szczur> it should be the same in W7
[14:23] <Mossyfunk> thanks man i'm having a look now
[14:28] <JoeMaverickSett> my lxpanel is flickering, so i killed it, and when i start it, it says segmentation fault.
[14:28] <bioterror> natty?
[14:29] <JoeMaverickSett> yup.
[14:29] <bioterror> niiice
[14:29] <Yorvyk> Ditto
[14:29] <bioterror> maybe I'm not going to upgrade
[14:29] <bioterror> JoeMaverickSett, dpkg-reconfigure lxpanel
[14:29] <Yorvyk> I wouldn’t for the mo
[14:29] <bioterror> logout and login
[14:30] <bioterror> if that's not solving the problem
[14:30] <JoeMaverickSett> bioterror: i think it's more of my 11year old pc than the fault of lubuntu
[14:30] <JoeMaverickSett> :D
[14:30] <bioterror> maybe rm -rf .config/lxpanel
[14:31] <JoeMaverickSett> hold on, stuck at black log out screen :D
[14:32] <bioterror> :D
[14:33] <JoeMaverickSett> bioterror: no go.
[14:34] <bioterror> hmmm
[14:34] <Yorvyk> I’ve tried those no difference
[14:34] <bioterror> I should go to some shopping center
[14:34] <JoeMaverickSett> WHAT?

[14:34] <JoeMaverickSett> bioterror: what's that gotta do with having the same problem? and going to shopping center? O_o?

[15:19] <kosaidpo> ahh well iwanna cut the email pat phillw the email row obv hihi thats is all abt
[15:19] <kosaidpo> and thankssssssssssssss phillw
[15:20] <phillw> stlsaint: as it is universe, it should work with Lubuntu.
[15:21] <phillw> stlsaint: else I can our MOTU's to investigate.
[15:22] <phillw> *dan get our*
[15:22] <phillw> grrrr
[15:22] <JoeMaverickSett> can get our
[15:22] <phillw> *can get our*
[15:22] <JoeMaverickSett> :D
[15:22] <JoeMaverickSett> sup stlsaint?
[15:22] <stlsaint> phillw: the package "touchfreeze" is not in repos for lubuntu
[15:24] <phillw> stlsaint: it is in Universe. As Universe is a listed repo for Lubuntu, I can only think there is a gremlin somewhere.
[15:24] <stlsaint> JoeMaverickSett: hey man how you doing
[15:24] <stlsaint> ChanServ:
[15:24] <stlsaint> opps
[15:25] <phillw> gilir: / hyperair can you have look as to why http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/touchfreeze is in Universe but not available in Lubuntu please. Thanks
[15:25] <phillw> stlsaint: you have to love those MOTU's :D
[15:26] <stlsaint> aye\
[15:33] <hyperair> phillw: define "not available in lubuntu"
[15:34] <phillw> stlsaint: you know those dreaded MOTU's... one wants to have a chat with you.
[15:35] <phillw> hyperair: it is stlsaint, one of the UBT guys who is also a lubuntueer now who is having the problem.
[15:35] <hyperair> phillw: is it available on your lubuntu lucid machine?
[15:37] <phillw> hyperair: I'm still running ubuntu 9.10 (not updated) as my usb 3G device will not work with later kernels.... I've no idea where stlsaint has hidden.
[15:37] <hyperair> heh
[15:37] <hyperair> phillw: well, ask to see his /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:38] <hyperair> if it's in lucid universe, then as long as he has universe sources, it'll be available
[15:38] <phillw> hyperair: thanks, boss. I'll let him know
[15:39] <stlsaint> sup?
[15:39] <phillw> hyperair: speak of the devil, here he is :)
[15:39] <hyperair> heh
[15:40] <hyperair> stlsaint: what's the issue with touchfreeze?
[15:40] <hyperair> hmm it seems to not be there in maverick
[15:40] <stlsaint> wait
[15:40] <stlsaint> oh yea
[15:40] <stlsaint> hyperair: im on maverick
[15:41] <hyperair> yeah, so there you go
[15:41] <hyperair> the package must have been removed for some reason or other
[15:41] <stlsaint> yep yep
[16:07] <keakster> I want my external hard drives to show up on my desktop like they did in Ubuntu, is this possible/how? thanks!
[16:13] <phillw> keakster: it is not possible at the moment. But it is on the wish-list of functionallity. Lubuntu has to run too such a tight resource usage we cannot add everything on, else we would be Ubuntu.
[16:14] <keakster> thanks for an answer, I still like Lubuntu better!
[17:17] <gilir> phillw, the reason why touchfreeze is not in Ubuntu and Debian anymore :  http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg798322.html
[17:17] <phillw> gilir: thanks, I will let stlsaint know.
[17:19] <phillw> gilir: if were not fact he was a UBT mentor and new lubunteer I would not have pinged you and hyper
[17:21] <phillw> but as MOTU's you two guys are the best to ask :)
[17:21] <gilir> phillw, no problem, I'll not answer if it's annoy me :p
[17:21] <JoeMaverickSett> :D
[19:21] <Mossyfunk> bloody gparted keeps crashing everytime i try and start the installer
[19:21] <Mossyfunk> >_<
[19:21] <bioterror> :D
[19:21] <bioterror> take the miniiso
[19:21] <bioterror> or alternative
[19:26] <Yorvyk> Mossyfunk, what hardware. I’ve only had that problem with some Intel based stuff.
[19:50] <Mossyfunk> its an old acer aspire
[19:50] <Mossyfunk> it worked before
[19:50] <Mossyfunk> whats an alternative to unetbootin?
[20:38] <Guest46333> hello guys fom freenode : D

[20:55] <Yorvyk> _kosaidpo, Neither from the few benchmarks I’ve done.
[20:57] <_kosaidpo> Yorvyk: for ex this word bechmarks even i read it a lot  i feel so lazy to go to the dic but i guess its link bugs to fix in the next release or sumthin  (see i told you ) :P
[20:59] <Yorvyk> _kosaidpo, Benchmarks, in computing, are test of how fast things run.
[21:00] <_kosaidpo> Yorvyk: okies thanks for the exp i really do read everytime but never bother to kno
