[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
[10:27] <ubottu> gufw (source: gui-ufw): Configure system firewall. In component universe, is optional. Version 10.10.1-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 225 kB, installed size 1296 kB
[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

[14:33] <mezin> hello?
[14:34] <charlie-tca> !hi | mezin
[14:34] <ubottu> mezin: 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!
[14:35] <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] <ubottu> alsa-utils (source: alsa-utils): Utilities for configuring and using ALSA. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.23-2ubuntu3.4 (maverick), package size 1063 kB, installed size 1948 kB (Only available for alpha amd64 arm armeb armel avr32 hppa i386 ia64 m32r m68k mips mipsel powerpc powerpcspe ppc64 s390 s390x sh3 sh3eb sh4 sh4eb sparc sparc64)
[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] <ubottu> Did 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 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
=== Evixion` is now known as Evixion
[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
