* DarthRevan is sweating buckets.05:33
DarthRevananyone here?05:34
gr8m8you need to just tell what your issue is in here and be patient DarthRevan but yes05:35
DarthRevandoes mailutils & postfix and the like have a gui module yet?10:08
DarthRevanI dont think I have voice10:12
bazhangapt-cache search postfix10:14
DarthRevan???10:18
bazhangor /msg alis list *postfix*10:19
bazhangnot sure how those questions relate to ubuntu/xubuntu/et al10:19
DarthRevanbazhang you are kind of right about that. haha I take for granted I mostly use xubuntu10:20
DarthRevanwhats the best ids?10:23
bazhangide?10:23
DarthRevansorry intrusion detection system. my bad.10:23
DarthRevanIt is probably a rediculous question.10:25
bazhangcheck apt-cache search package  or packages.ubuntu.com  ; no idea at all, really10:26
DarthRevanokay thats cool.  At least it is a start.  Firestarter seems to work good so far.10:27
bazhangthere's ufw and gufw as well10:27
bazhang!info gufw10:27
ubottugufw (source: gui-ufw): Configure system firewall. In component universe, is optional. Version 10.10.1-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 225 kB, installed size 1296 kB10:27
DarthRevanIll have to try gufw10:29
DarthRevanokay one more question10:32
DarthRevanI installed xubuntu on a 16gb usb stick and need it to have support for multiprocessor machines... does it already have that? Or do I need to install something to support that?  One of the netbooks I use it on only has one core.10:33
Sysihas support for multiple processors, cores and hyperthreading10:34
DarthRevansysi thank you cool.10:35
Sysidid you make "installation" with usb-creator or actual installation?10:36
DarthRevanI unpluged my sata drive and did the live install10:37
DarthRevanfrom cd10:37
DarthRevanSome years ago I tried it with the Windows harddrive plugged in and it installed grub.  So ever since then when I do a linux installation I always unplug the windows drive.10:40
DarthRevanI think back then I lost ntldr and something else and had to do a recovery haha10:40
Sysiyou can choose where to install grub but it shouldn't show usb devices if hdd is plugged in10:42
DarthRevanthat sounds right10:44
DarthRevanI think back then circa 8.04 I think I had to manually mount sda10:45
DarthRevanfstab stuff10:48
DarthRevanoh wait i see what you are saying.  Install to the master boot record.  I think it installed to all the drives hdd and sda10:50

mezinhello?14:33
charlie-tca!hi | mezin14:34
ubottumezin: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay!14:34
mezini have low sound14:35
mezini tried adding a line to alsa-base.conf14:35
mezinand stuff14:35
mezinbut wont help14:35
mezinits not that i cant hear, but its bad quality14:36
mezinand kind of low14:36
charlie-tcaopen the mixer in the panel, add pcm and turn its volume up all the way14:36
mezini did14:36
mezinthats the first thing i did, play around with the mixer14:36
mezinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto14:38
mezin"Read all of them and try to find the one which is more similar to your sound card, for example if you have a laptop, you can choose "acer". "14:38
mezinhow similair must it be?14:38
mezini got a ALC883 and added alc883-6stack-dig14:40
charlie-tcadid you find anything that said acer?14:40
charlie-tcaif not, it is not similar enough to call it an Acer14:40
mezinwell i have an asus p5k pro14:41
mezinthere are none there14:41
charlie-tcaAccording to that example, all those listed were found to have the ALC26014:43
charlie-tcaIt is not a single brand computer that uses it.14:43
charlie-tcaSo, something mentions hp, it might be information about the ALC260, since the wiki is written by users, they might not have titled the doc page ALC26014:44
charlie-tcaYou need any pages refering to the ALC883 instead14:45
mezinhmmm, how to check what version of alsa i have?14:45
charlie-tcaopen a terminal and type14:46
charlie-tcaapt-cache policy alsa-utils14:46
charlie-tcathe numbers after installed are the version14:46
mezin1.0.23-2ubuntu3.414:46
mezinis that the latest?14:46
charlie-tca!info alsa-utils14:47
ubottualsa-utils (source: alsa-utils): Utilities for configuring and using ALSA. In component main, is optional.

charlie-tcayes14:47
mezinhmmm14:48
Sysiyou could install pavucontrol and see pulseaudio settings in addition to alsa14:50
mezin;o14:50
charlie-tcasound is hard to debug properly. You can file a bug about the low sound issue using    ubuntu-bug alsa-base    in a terminal14:50
Sysifor quality issues usually helps just setting master under 100%14:51
mezinpulseaudio volume control?14:51
Sysii guess it's that in menu14:51
mezini played around with pulse audio VC14:55
mezinhelped14:55
mezinty14:56
Sysii still think we should include pavucontrol to default setup if we're not gonna remove pulseaudio (if we can get enough space)14:57

alex_hello... is there a way to restore xubuntu panel as default? i deleted the top panel by mistake... ( ps: i deleted the contents of .xonfig and .cache and it restored the top panel but w/o the applications that it had on it )16:57
alex_ .config*16:57
charlie-tcaIf you deleted .config, the panel will default to the original panel, any changes were lost16:58
Sysiexept that you need to do that when not logged to xfce16:59
alex_i was interested in the shorcuts that it had... clock..etc.. so i`ll have to add them manualy?16:59
charlie-tcathose should be defaults, they should be in the panel automatically. Maybe try logout/login, to reset things17:00
charlie-tcaactually, you do not need to be logged out of xfce. see !panels17:01
charlie-tca!panel17:01
ubottuDid you panels disappear? Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel | See also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels | Want to theme your panels? See http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/howto-set-a-background-image-for-your-panel/17:01
alex_as Sysi  said... i don`t have to log in xfce? maybe that`s the problem... brb.. let me try that again17:01
charlie-tcaThat explains fully how to restore panels, while logged in to the desktop17:01
alex_well.. as i said.. i restored them but w/o the application shorcuts and items..17:01
charlie-tcadid you copy the default configuration like it said to?17:02
Sysicharlie-tca: doesn't xfce rewrite configs in logout?17:03
alex_copy the default from where to where? sorry.. but i don`t think have have more than one week on linux :>17:03
charlie-tcaIt saves them if you tell it to. It can write them anytime17:03
charlie-tcaGo to the page referenced above, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels17:03
charlie-tcaIt explains it in detail17:04
alex_relog17:05
alex_brb17:05
lassewhere can I find guide to enable tv-out?17:08
alex_well.. thx for the help.. but as far as i see it only restores the pannels w/o the stuff it had on it so i`ll have to do it manualy..17:09
Jdogg420is there anyway to get sound themes to work on xubuntu?17:45
lassehow to enable s-video?17:51
PaulW2U1Jdogg420, there are dozens of threads on Google. But none have helped me! I also had no sound in Xubuntu17:52

=== Evixion` is now known as Evixion
Jdogg420what about a way to show previews of the programs running on my panel like kde does when i run the mouse over the prog17:54
lasseI know how to config it with ubuntu, but I dont know where to find egual file to xorg.conf to make the changes in xubuntu..18:02
charlie-tcalasse: same place18:05
charlie-tcaXubuntu uses exactly the same xorg.conf as Ubuntu18:06
charlie-tcaJdogg420: as far as I know, that does not exist18:06
Jdogg420ok thanx18:06
lasseokey18:07
