[02:08] <lotus> hey, my power button on my tower does nothing.  I want it to suspend.  I've tried going to settings -> power manager and setting the action to suspend, but it doesn't work?
[02:11] <charlie-tca> lotus: will it suspend with Ctrl+Alt+Del?
[02:11] <lotus> charlie-tca: looks like that activates my screensaver
[02:12] <charlie-tca> hm, what about clicking quit? Is there an option there for suspend?
[02:12] <lotus> charlie-tca: yes, that option works well and is what I've been using.
[02:12] <charlie-tca> (you can click cancel if there isn't one)
[02:13] <charlie-tca> Not all the towers have suspend connected to the power button
[02:13] <lotus> charlie-tca: If I set it to shutdown or ask
[02:13] <lotus> it still does nothing
[02:13] <charlie-tca> MIght be a bios option, too.
[02:13] <charlie-tca> If you hold the power button 8 seconds, it still doesn't shutdown?
[02:14] <lotus> charlie-tca: no, that works fine.
[02:15] <charlie-tca> It may not be able to suspend with the power button. I have had machines that would not do anything but shutdown, and when I changed the motherboard, I found out there was no terminals for suspend on the board.
[02:15] <lotus> charlie-tca: though, if I change the power-manager options to be shutdown, the power button still does nothing if I press it.
[02:16] <lotus> I don't want to do hard shutdown by holding the button in
[02:16] <charlie-tca> That might be a bios setting. My compaq motherboards have a bios option, shutdown or suspend when power button is pressed. Not both
[02:17] <charlie-tca> If it is a bios option, the software can not be forced to override it
[02:17] <lotus> It's strange, though.  In Ubuntu 9.10 it was working fine.
[02:19] <charlie-tca> Sounds like we broke that, then. File a bug using        ubuntu-bug linux        in a terminal, and state in the description that it did work in 9.10
[02:20] <lotus> charlie-tca: alright, though it works fine on my netbook.  Thanks
[02:24] <redcode> Hi people
[02:25] <redcode> How do I install a theme which came in an archive with .config, .theme and .launchy folders?
[04:20] <chase_> Anyone else running the pre-release of xfce 4.8?
[04:24] <guero> Hey!
[04:24] <guero> I've got a question regarding Flash on my Xubuntu laptop.
[04:26] <guero> I just installed Flash on my laptop, and I can't get sound to work.
[04:27] <guero> I can watch Youtube videos, for example.  However, the sound doesn't work.
[04:27] <guero> Yes, I know my sound card works.  No, my computer is not muted right now.
[04:28] <moetunes> guero:  you could try pavucontrol
[04:28] <moetunes> !info pavucontrol
[04:31] <guero> !info pavucontrol isn't working for me.
[04:31] <guero> I just installed pavucontrol in Synaptic
[04:31] <guero> Do I need to reboot my system and try again?
[04:32] <moetunes> run the app in terminal and check out your options
[04:33] <moetunes> the !info pavucontrol bit just tells about the package that is available
[04:33] <guero> @moetunes Sorry, I'm a complete newbie to Xubuntu.
[04:34] <guero> Could you please type out the command I'm supposed to run?
[04:34] <moetunes> np :)
[04:34] <moetunes> guero:  in a terminal type   pavucontrol
[04:34] <moetunes> or type   pav   and hit the tab key twice
[04:35] <moetunes> !tab
[04:35] <guero> moetunes: Thank you! :)
[04:35] <moetunes> yw
[04:35] <guero> Okay...
[04:36] <guero> I've just opened pavucontrol...
[04:36] <guero> What do I  need to look for?
[04:36] <moetunes> I've never needed to use it so I know nothing about it except it gets recommanded for issues like yours
[04:39] <guero> It's working!!
[04:39] <guero> Thanks so much!!
[04:39] <guero> :D
[04:39] <moetunes> woot!
[04:39] <guero> Hehe!! :D
[04:39] <guero> Thanks again!
[04:39] <guero> See you later!
[04:39] <moetunes> np :)
[04:39] <moetunes> bye
[08:31] <nicofs> My network manager applet in the task bar just disappeared - and with it my network connection... what can i do? (restart didn't fix it)
[08:31] <leoquant> !panels
[08:37] <nicofs> leoquant, the panel is still there
[08:38] <leoquant> is it a notification area problem?
[08:39] <leoquant> i am running gnome at the moment.....
[08:39] <nicofs> leoquant, notification area is still there aswell - only without the network-manager applet
[08:40] <nicofs> service network-manager is running, iwlist shows available networks - so the device is working...
[08:40] <leoquant> your not running xubuntu natty?
[08:41] <nicofs> leoquant, no, 10.10, albeit on kernel 2.6.29-arm
[08:42] <leoquant> and it happened after an update?
[08:43] <nicofs> no - just like that. i was downloading something and the download stalled because the connection was lost (happens quite often with this network) - normally i just disconnect and then reconnect. but right after hitting "disconnect" the whole applet vanished.
[08:43] <leoquant> try: sudo nm-applet
[08:44] <nicofs> command not found
[08:46] <leoquant> try this thread: http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=448952
[08:47] <leoquant> or try to find it via thunar: /usr/bin/nm-applet
[08:47] <leoquant> maybe it really "disappeared"
[08:51] <nicofs> there is no /usr/bin/nm-applet...
[08:52] <nicofs> how would i get it back?
[08:53] <knome> sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[08:53] <nicofs> without internet connection?
[09:03] <nicofs> ok, several forums have suggested to install wicd... how can i download wicd on this machine and install it on the one without internet? (this pc: x86 - target: ARMv7)
[10:16] <xubuntu418> как перейти на русский чат?
[10:18] <xubuntu418> it is russian chat?
[10:19] <ablomen> !ru
[10:20] <xubuntu418> yes, ru. give me , please, channel...
[10:21] <xubuntu418> oh...
[10:22] <xubuntu418> spasibo
[15:51] <jarnos> How do you switch to use nv driver instead of nouveau in 10.10?
[17:59] <tcentral> hey all, anyone around?
[18:00] <tcentral> I'm trying to figure out how to get 'wonder bar' (wbar) or something better to work in xubuntu.. anyone have any suggestions?
[18:02] <B-r00t> do you have wbar installed?
[18:02] <tcentral> yes
[18:03] <B-r00t> in /usr/share/wbar is a config file
[18:03] <tcentral> I found something relating to my ~/.config/autostart/ folder, but that didn't work..
[18:03] <tcentral> yes dot.wbar
[18:03] <B-r00t> try to run wbar -bpress -pos right -isize 38.0
[18:03] <B-r00t> from terminal
[18:05] <tcentral> well, it says it's running but I don't see it..
[18:05] <B-r00t> try to reinstall wbar
[18:05] <B-r00t> sudo apt-get install -reinstall wbar
[18:06] <B-r00t> sudo apt-get install --reinstall wbar
[18:06] <tcentral> if I add -above-desk it seems to show up..
[18:06] <tcentral> :/
[18:08] <tcentral> B-r00t: do you have another 'osx launcher like' app?
[18:09] <B-r00t> cairo dock
[18:12] <tcentral> B-r00t: whos better than you?  I don't care what they say about you when you aren't here.. they are wrong..
[18:12] <tcentral> ;)
[18:13] <B-r00t> xD
