[00:43] <ubuntu> hi
[04:36] <Unit193> I'm having issues with the Scroll Lock light not coming on when I hit the Scroll Lock key (Scroll Lock is turned on though) any ideas?
[05:15] <DarthRevan> hi
[05:33] <DarthRevan> (o.O')
[05:33]  * DarthRevan is sweating buckets.
[05:34] <DarthRevan> anyone here?
[05:35] <gr8m8> you need to just tell what your issue is in here and be patient DarthRevan but yes
[10:08] <DarthRevan> does mailutils & postfix and the like have a gui module yet?
[10:12] <DarthRevan> I dont think I have voice
[10:14] <bazhang> apt-cache search postfix
[10:18] <DarthRevan> ???
[10:19] <bazhang> or /msg alis list *postfix*
[10:19] <bazhang> not sure how those questions relate to ubuntu/xubuntu/et al
[10:20] <DarthRevan> bazhang you are kind of right about that. haha I take for granted I mostly use xubuntu
[10:23] <DarthRevan> whats the best ids?
[10:23] <bazhang> ide?
[10:23] <DarthRevan> sorry intrusion detection system. my bad.
[10:25] <DarthRevan> It is probably a rediculous question.
[10:26] <bazhang> check apt-cache search package  or packages.ubuntu.com  ; no idea at all, really
[10:27] <DarthRevan> okay thats cool.  At least it is a start.  Firestarter seems to work good so far.
[10:27] <bazhang> there's ufw and gufw as well
[10:27] <bazhang> !info gufw
[10:29] <DarthRevan> Ill have to try gufw
[10:32] <DarthRevan> okay one more question
[10:33] <DarthRevan> I 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.
[10:34] <Sysi> has support for multiple processors, cores and hyperthreading
[10:35] <DarthRevan> sysi thank you cool.
[10:36] <Sysi> did you make "installation" with usb-creator or actual installation?
[10:37] <DarthRevan> I unpluged my sata drive and did the live install
[10:37] <DarthRevan> from cd
[10:40] <DarthRevan> Some 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] <DarthRevan> I think back then I lost ntldr and something else and had to do a recovery haha
[10:42] <Sysi> you can choose where to install grub but it shouldn't show usb devices if hdd is plugged in
[10:44] <DarthRevan> that sounds right
[10:45] <DarthRevan> I think back then circa 8.04 I think I had to manually mount sda
[10:48] <DarthRevan> fstab stuff
[10:50] <DarthRevan> oh wait i see what you are saying.  Install to the master boot record.  I think it installed to all the drives hdd and sda
[11:46] <xubuntu915> ciao
[12:43] <corey> hey?
[12:48] <HelpPlease> i cant boot xubuntu without adding acpi=off to the grub bootloader, and i need to know my battery life when i use my laptop, any help?
[12:55] <HelpPlease> heh, brb i guess, gonna try updating everything although i doubt it will work
[13:01] <corey_> still not working D:
[14:33] <mezin> hello?
[14:34] <charlie-tca> !hi | mezin
[14:35] <mezin> i have low sound
[14:35] <mezin> i tried adding a line to alsa-base.conf
[14:35] <mezin> and stuff
[14:35] <mezin> but wont help
[14:36] <mezin> its not that i cant hear, but its bad quality
[14:36] <mezin> and kind of low
[14:36] <charlie-tca> open the mixer in the panel, add pcm and turn its volume up all the way
[14:36] <mezin> i did
[14:36] <mezin> thats the first thing i did, play around with the mixer
[14:38] <mezin> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[14:38] <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] <mezin> how similair must it be?
[14:40] <mezin> i got a ALC883 and added alc883-6stack-dig
[14:40] <charlie-tca> did you find anything that said acer?
[14:40] <charlie-tca> if not, it is not similar enough to call it an Acer
[14:41] <mezin> well i have an asus p5k pro
[14:41] <mezin> there are none there
[14:43] <charlie-tca> According to that example, all those listed were found to have the ALC260
[14:43] <charlie-tca> It is not a single brand computer that uses it.
[14:44] <charlie-tca> So, 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 ALC260
[14:45] <charlie-tca> You need any pages refering to the ALC883 instead
[14:45] <mezin> hmmm, how to check what version of alsa i have?
[14:46] <charlie-tca> open a terminal and type
[14:46] <charlie-tca> apt-cache policy alsa-utils
[14:46] <charlie-tca> the numbers after installed are the version
[14:46] <mezin> 1.0.23-2ubuntu3.4
[14:46] <mezin> is that the latest?
[14:47] <charlie-tca> !info alsa-utils
[14:47] <charlie-tca> yes
[14:48] <mezin> hmmm
[14:50] <Sysi> you could install pavucontrol and see pulseaudio settings in addition to alsa
[14:50] <mezin> ;o
[14:50] <charlie-tca> sound is hard to debug properly. You can file a bug about the low sound issue using    ubuntu-bug alsa-base    in a terminal
[14:51] <Sysi> for quality issues usually helps just setting master under 100%
[14:51] <mezin> pulseaudio volume control?
[14:51] <Sysi> i guess it's that in menu
[14:55] <mezin> i played around with pulse audio VC
[14:55] <mezin> helped
[14:56] <mezin> ty
[14:57] <Sysi> i still think we should include pavucontrol to default setup if we're not gonna remove pulseaudio (if we can get enough space)
[16:57] <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*
[16:58] <charlie-tca> If you deleted .config, the panel will default to the original panel, any changes were lost
[16:59] <Sysi> exept that you need to do that when not logged to xfce
[16:59] <alex_> i was interested in the shorcuts that it had... clock..etc.. so i`ll have to add them manualy?
[17:00] <charlie-tca> those should be defaults, they should be in the panel automatically. Maybe try logout/login, to reset things
[17:01] <charlie-tca> actually, you do not need to be logged out of xfce. see !panels
[17:01] <charlie-tca> !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 again
[17:01] <charlie-tca> That explains fully how to restore panels, while logged in to the desktop
[17:01] <alex_> well.. as i said.. i restored them but w/o the application shorcuts and items..
[17:02] <charlie-tca> did you copy the default configuration like it said to?
[17:03] <Sysi> charlie-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-tca> It saves them if you tell it to. It can write them anytime
[17:03] <charlie-tca> Go to the page referenced above, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels
[17:04] <charlie-tca> It explains it in detail
[17:05] <alex_> relog
[17:05] <alex_> brb
[17:08] <lasse> where can I find guide to enable tv-out?
[17:09] <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..
[17:45] <Jdogg420> is there anyway to get sound themes to work on xubuntu?
[17:51] <lasse> how to enable s-video?
[17:52] <PaulW2U1> Jdogg420, there are dozens of threads on Google. But none have helped me! I also had no sound in Xubuntu
[17:53] <Jdogg420> ok
[17:54] <Jdogg420> what about a way to show previews of the programs running on my panel like kde does when i run the mouse over the prog
[18:02] <lasse> I 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..
[18:05] <charlie-tca> lasse: same place
[18:06] <charlie-tca> Xubuntu uses exactly the same xorg.conf as Ubuntu
[18:06] <charlie-tca> Jdogg420: as far as I know, that does not exist
[18:06] <Jdogg420> ok thanx
[18:07] <lasse> okey
[18:24] <Jdogg420>  so i see there is a xubuntu 11.04 out is that wat i have since mine is all up to date?
[18:25] <Sysi> 11.04 is alpha, it is not out
[18:25] <Jdogg420> ok
[21:43] <intok> Old Dells worry me, anyone got Xubuntu on an Optiplex GX240? 1.4Ghz P4, 1Gb SD133, ATI Rage 128
[22:37] <Sysi> intok: should be well enough for xubuntu, propable older hardware is well-compliant too
