| bsdestroyer | hello. there is by default no Xorg config file? | 10:34 |
| psycho_oreos | yup | 10:36 |
| bsdestroyer | my X sets up by default 16bpp for my screen | 10:36 |
| bsdestroyer | I'd like to try to change that to 24 | 10:36 |
| psycho_oreos | you could get xorg to dump the config file for you to hack away | 10:36 |
| bsdestroyer | how do you do that? | 10:37 |
| psycho_oreos | Xorg -configure | 10:40 |
| bsdestroyer | ok. other question: could what I just mentionned (being in 16bpp) be responsible for problems I experience with wine? namely, crashing on any app start. (even wine configuration tool causes X to reboot) | 10:42 |
| psycho_oreos | its a little hard to say when you're dealing with wine, have you asked in their support channels yet? | 10:50 |
| bazhang | !appdb | bsdestroyer | 11:58 |
| ubottu | bsdestroyer: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 11:58 |
| bazhang | bsdestroyer, /join #winehq | 11:58 |
| bsdestroyer | ok so.. it appears i have a prob with /dev/fb0 too, anyway, cannot get into any VT to run the Xorg -configure command | 12:06 |
| bsdestroyer | ideas? | 12:09 |
| bsdestroyer | hello? | 12:27 |
| bazhang | bsdestroyer, better to explain exactly what you are trying to do | 12:37 |
| bsdestroyer | i want to set up 24bpp instead of 16bpp for my screen | 12:43 |
| bsdestroyer | someone suggested to generaate Xorg's config file with Xorg -configure so I could hack it manually | 12:43 |
| bsdestroyer | but, I cannot run that command, or any command outside of X | 12:43 |
| bsdestroyer | X is all that works on this laptop it seems, virtual terminal F1-F6 are not functionnal, I suspect because of broken/missing framebuffer stuff | 12:43 |
| bsdestroyer | so i'm stuck | 12:43 |
| bsdestroyer | that would be 2 problems so. fix Xorg, and fix virtual terminals | 12:43 |
| bsdestroyer | running Xorg -configure while X is running, doesn't work also | 12:43 |
| bsdestroyer | bazhang: there that is my prob :P | 12:43 |
| bsdestroyer | did my messages make it through? | 12:45 |
| bazhang | bsdestroyer, change the framebuffer? | 12:46 |
| bsdestroyer | i'm not familiar with this stuff.. there are different framebuffers? how do you mean? | 12:46 |
| bazhang | bsdestroyer, not sure how that is connected to your screen resolution; you cannot get to a tty? is this in virtualbox or the like? | 12:47 |
| bsdestroyer | i got default xubuntu 10.10 install on this old laptop with poor gpu (savage driver iirc) | 12:47 |
| bsdestroyer | no, its on the actual hardware | 12:48 |
| bsdestroyer | not VM | 12:48 |
| bsdestroyer | pressing ctrl-alt-F1 doesnt bring me to a terminal as it hsould, but to garbled screen | 12:49 |
| bsdestroyer | going back to F7 would also cause Xorg crash/reboot | 12:52 |
| bsdestroyer | erm.. whats the new location for /etc/inittab!?? | 12:52 |
| bazhang | !upstart | 12:53 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 12:53 |
| bsdestroyer | bazhang: you have more info about changing the framebuffer? i dont even know what it means | 12:53 |

| histo | does 11.04 have xfce 4.8 | 14:06 |
| bazhang | histo, #ubuntu+1 for natty please | 14:06 |
| histo | Trying to figure something out with 4.8. If you browse to a samba share and gvfs mounts it. Thunar doesn't show it as a mount. It's not put on the desktop etc... | 14:06 |
| histo | bazhang: the guys in #ubuntu+1 don't use xfce | 14:07 |
| bazhang | histo, sure they do. its all natty related question, lxde kde4 xfce4 etc | 14:07 |
| Guest17533 | I got a problem with the network manager. Basicly i got no nm-appalet (xbuntu 10.4) | 14:18 |
| bsdestroyer | it seems I messed my X even more, which is weird because I did not edit any file | 14:55 |
| bsdestroyer | all I did was go to tty, stop gdm, and run startx with different bitdepth | 15:00 |
| bsdestroyer | now, after reboot, I can't login as usual in gdm, it causes X to reboot instantly | 15:00 |
| bsdestroyer | this happens since i tried the different bitdepth | 15:01 |
| bsdestroyer | also now, the startx thing is said above fails too for that user | 15:03 |
| bsdestroyer | but works for other user (root) | 15:04 |

| epdv | Hello! I want to install Xubuntu 10.10 alternate, but couldn't find any installation instructions. :-( | 15:12 |
| bsdestroyer | first time i hear about it. | 15:13 |
| bsdestroyer | what is it? | 15:13 |
| epdv | Especially, should support LVM and other special features. | 15:15 |
| Sysi | text-based installer | 15:15 |
| Sysi | it's pretty simple | 15:15 |
| Sysi | basic debian installer afaik | 15:15 |
| epdv | Are there any instructions available? | 15:16 |
| bsdestroyer | I always hated X | 15:17 |
| epdv | It's funny to have a link for bug reporting but none for installing ... probably I first should report about missing docs? | 15:18 |
| Sysi | basic installation is about just pressing enter | 15:19 |
| Sysi | i guess there's different docs for LVM and such | 15:19 |
| Sysi | https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/index.html | 15:23 |
| epdv | Hm, I wanted what to do before installing, not to ask when I've probably already made some bad things. | 15:23 |
| Sysi | see url above | 15:24 |
| epdv | Thank You, that's at least a starting point (which I couldn't find using google - too many unrelated docs). | 15:26 |
| epdv | BTW, You're too quick for me - I'm still thinking how to tell You sth. while You're already answering, sorry. | 15:26 |
| epdv | Thank You very much, going to read :-) | 15:27 |
| Sysi | nice exception i could say | 15:28 |
| bigbrovar | hi guys I am considering xfce as a desktop enviroment. just need to ask some questions about it. does xubuntu ship pulse audio by default? and is it possible to use the msg indicator on xubuntu? | 16:26 |
| Sysi | pulseaudio is shipped but pavucontrol isn't, dunno about "social media", somebody other maybe does | 16:27 |
| bigbrovar | sysi the msg indicator is not a social media app. its an applet on ubuntu which agregated incoming msges from IM and email clients agregating them into one notifier | 16:31 |
| bigbrovar | its also available on kubuntu | 16:32 |
| Sysi | gnome panel plugins work with xfapplet, it it works on systray it will also | 16:32 |
| bigbrovar | sysi thanks. But are there any over head of running gnome applets in xfce? do I loose integeration? | 16:37 |
| Sysi | i'd guess not very much | 16:37 |
| bigbrovar | Has anyone tried running xfce 4.8 on Xubuntu using the packages made available for 10.10 | 17:13 |
| bigbrovar | how smooth was the upgrade? | 17:14 |
| charlie-tca | where did you find 10.10 packages for xfce 4.8? | 17:14 |
| charlie-tca | AFAIK, to upgrade 10.10 to Xfce4.8, you have to compile the packages yourself | 17:18 |
| bigbrovar | charlie-tca: funny there are packages for 10.04 weird | 17:58 |
| Sysi | LTS | 17:59 |
| charlie-tca | bigbrovar: where did you find them? | 18:04 |
| bigbrovar | charlie-tca: https://launchpad.net/~alexx2000/+archive/xfce | 18:06 |
| charlie-tca | It's unofficial ppa. | 18:06 |
| charlie-tca | apparently, alexx2000 really wanted to use xfce4.8 in 10.04 | 18:06 |
| bigbrovar | charlie-tca: yeah it is | 18:06 |
| bigbrovar | doubt there would be official packages anytime soon | 18:07 |
| bigbrovar | guess so | 18:07 |
