| Daz_1234 | Hi I am new to xubuntu but I have a problem with my laptop touchpad. | 12:55 |
| lostson | Daz_1234: which is ? | 12:56 |
| Daz_1234 | The laptop is a Fujitsu S6120. The touchpad itself works, but the problem is scrolling | 12:56 |
| Daz_1234 | There is a rocker switch which rocks up to scroll up and down to scroll down | 12:56 |
| Daz_1234 | the down one acts like a middle mouse button and the up direction does othing | 12:57 |
| Daz_1234 | nothing, even | 12:57 |
| Daz_1234 | In the mouse settings I see a "Virtual ore XTEST pointer" and "PS/2 Generic Mouse". I have read about a touchpad tab but I do not have one | 12:58 |
| Daz_1234 | Thanks for listening | 12:59 |
| lostson | Daz_1234: try checking up on synclient settings | 13:05 |
| Daz_1234 | I'm afraid I really am *very* new to linux - this is my first foray in fact. What does that mean? | 13:05 |
| lostson | the touchpad tab your reading about is in gnome unless there are new touchpad settings in xfce4.8 that i am not aware of | 13:06 |
| lostson | Daz_1234: synclient is a daemon that can control certain options of your touchpad | 13:06 |
| Daz_1234 | How do I see the synclient settings? | 13:06 |
| lostson | for instance on my laptop i use a command in my autostart to set my options | 13:07 |
| lostson | Daz_1234: here is the man page for synclient http://linux.die.net/man/1/synclient | 13:08 |
| Daz_1234 | Ok. So how do I check if I have that on my installation? | 13:09 |
| lostson | you should but if you want to check in a terminal do a "type synclient" | 13:10 |
| lostson | and if its there it should report /usr/bin/synclient | 13:10 |
| Daz_1234 | Yes it does:@ | 13:11 |
| Daz_1234 | synclient is hashed (/usr/bin/synclient) | 13:11 |
| lostson | then i guess the best bet would be to do some googling with your laptop model and see if anyone else has figured out how to get it working correctly | 13:12 |
| Daz_1234 | I tried synclient -l and got "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?" | 13:12 |
| lostson | baby is awake i have to run sorry bbl | 13:12 |
| Daz_1234 | I've googled around a lot and got nothing on my model. | 13:12 |
| Daz_1234 | Ok thanks. | 13:12 |
| Daz_1234 | ==> lostson - I've raised a bug report on launchpad now: Bug #734323 | 13:45 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 734323 in Ubuntu "Scroll not working on Fujitsu S6120 using builtin scroll buttons under the touchpad [xubuntu 10.10]" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/734323 | 13:45 |
| Daz_1234 | I've just raised that one because I've found no other information. | 13:45 |
| Daz_1234 | Thanks again, bye. | 13:47 |
| _suiauthon_ | why has the button at the end of my top panel gone from being the power icon to a person? | 14:01 |
| charlie-tca | Your icon theme changed | 14:02 |
| _suiauthon_ | i dont remember doing that, must be that last update lol | 14:02 |
| macbangalore | hp 2710p ubuntu 10.10 touch screen not working help needed | 15:25 |
| jook | I unchecked the box to install mp3 support and stuff during install, because I was having trouble with my computer. How do I make that work now that xubuntu is up and going? | 16:04 |
| drc | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats might help | 16:05 |
| charlie-tca | install xubuntu-restriced-extras and any other package needed specifically for mp3 | 16:05 |
| jook | That looks like it. Thank you :) | 16:05 |
| Noblesse | Hello | 16:10 |
| charlie-tca | !hi | Noblesse | 16:11 |
| ubottu | Noblesse: 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! | 16:11 |
| Noblesse | I have just a quick question. :) | 16:11 |
| jook | Shoot. | 16:11 |
| Noblesse | Do I pronounce Xubuntu as "Zubuntu" or as "X Ubuntu"? | 16:11 |
| drc | Zoobuntu | 16:12 |
| jook | I go with the first one, personally. | 16:12 |
| Noblesse | Alright. Zubuntu it is. Thanks. | 16:12 |
| drc | Xubuntu (pronounced /zuːˈbuːntuː/ "zoo-BOON-too") From the fount of all knowledge...Wikipedia "_ | 16:14 |
| jook | Okay, so I was just scrolling through window themes, and then my computer went to a console display showing a couple lines, and then logged out. Now it does the same thing every time I try to log in, but it goes too quick for me to see clearly what it's saying... | 16:35 |
| Sysi | press ctrl alt F1 and log in to console | 16:36 |
| jook | Alright. What can I do from there? | 16:37 |
| Sysi | you could first try to spot something from output of "cat .xsession-errors" or "cat .xsession-errors.old" | 16:37 |
| jook | I did the first. A whole bunch of stuff scrolled by, mostly things about faled to contact configuration server over and over. That message scrolled anything different that was before it right off the screen. | 16:39 |
| jook | oh, at the end theres "the application 'nm-applet' lost it's connection to the display," and something about x-server shut down or killed | 16:40 |
| jook | um... couldnt display a gtk warning, system-config-printer-applet had a problem, and then failure" module initialization failed | 16:40 |
| Sysi | sounds like pretty much problems.. | 16:41 |
| Sysi | you could try reset all settings, rm -rf .config/ | 16:41 |
| jook | i dont know what most of it means. Some of those could also be the same thing on multiple lines, but i wasn't reading it right | 16:42 |
| jook | alright | 16:42 |
| Sysi | and rm -rf .cache/sessions/ | 16:42 |
| jook | Done. | 16:42 |
| jook | I don't know how to get out of the console session. | 16:42 |
| Sysi | ctrl alt F7 | 16:43 |
| jook | Ooh, when I did that, it went to the same screen that was showing when I couldn't log in. It says, "Speech-dispatcher disabled" and some stuff, "saved ALS mixer settings detected" "puleseaudio configured for per-user sessions" "saned desabled" and "checking battery state." | 16:45 |
| jook | ALSA mixer* | 16:45 |
| charlie-tca | try Alt+F8 | 16:45 |
| jook | it's waiting for me to press enter. But those are the same messages as when it broke. | 16:45 |
| charlie-tca | or a restart, since it failed to start Xserver | 16:46 |
| jook | I rebooted before I came here. I can do it again. I was just able to login successfully, though. Seems like clearing the stuff Sysi said worked. | 16:46 |
| charlie-tca | no need to restart if you logged in | 16:47 |
| jook | Alright | 16:47 |
| jook | Thanks Sysi and charlie-tca | 16:47 |
| jook | Ha. Same thing just happened. The window manager theme that is broken is the second-to-last one, right above xfce. | 16:56 |
| jook | And clearing the settings fixed it again. | 16:57 |
| jook | It's called "wildbush" | 16:58 |
| drc | jook: Wildbush? works for me, what Appearence Style are you using? | 16:58 |
| jook | I was on NOX. | 16:59 |
| drc | jook: Works for me Wildbush & NOX :) | 16:59 |
| jook | drc: Huh. Strange. Well, at least if I know what's causing problems, I can just stay away from it. | 17:00 |
| drc | yup | 17:00 |
| jook | What does linux call the windows key? Super? meta? Something like that... | 17:03 |
| charlie-tca | super | 17:03 |
| drc | devil key | 17:03 |
| jook | lol drc | 17:04 |
| jook | thanks charlie-tca | 17:04 |
| charlie-tca | wildbush was fixed in xfce 4.8 | 17:04 |
| jook | charlie-tca: How do I check? I jsut downloaded and installed yesterday, but I got updates too. | 17:04 |
| jook | Oh, I see. I have 4.6.2 | 17:07 |
| jook | sudo apt-get update? | 17:07 |
| charlie-tca | no, 4.8 is part of Natty | 17:07 |
| jook | Oh | 17:07 |
| charlie-tca | It will be released as final release about April 29 | 17:08 |
| jook | Alright. I'll just stay away from that theme then. Some of the others are decent. I can live with not knowing what wildbush looks like. | 17:09 |
| jook | I would like to change the colors. Is that possible? Everything is blue, but I want green. | 17:10 |
| charlie-tca | theme colors? | 17:10 |
| jook | Yeah | 17:10 |
| _suiauthon_ | how can I kill a defunct process? | 17:10 |
| charlie-tca | Select a different theme to change the colors | 17:10 |
| charlie-tca | _suiauthon_: task monitor in Applications -> system | 17:11 |
| jook | lol yeah charlie-tca, but almost all of them are blue. ;) There's no customization options like that? | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | no | 17:11 |
| jook | Alright | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | blue / blue-gray is the Xfce color choice, however, almost any gtk theme should work | 17:12 |
| charlie-tca | !themes | 17:12 |
| ubottu | Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 17:12 |
| jook | Yeah, I was noticing that trend. Thanks for the links, I'll take a look. | 17:12 |
| _suiauthon_ | no diece, transmission keeps comming back from the dead and stealing my cpu | 17:13 |
| jook | zombie torrents! | 17:13 |
| jook | you have to download a shotgun. | 17:13 |
| charlie-tca | heh, think you must first kill the download, to kill transmission | 17:14 |
| charlie-tca | Is there a wget task running too? | 17:14 |
| _suiauthon_ | no wget no | 17:14 |
| _suiauthon_ | i dunno what finally did it, but its died dead. ty | 17:15 |
| jook | I guess I've got things going how I like. Thanks for the help folks. | 17:18 |
| jook | Ooh, here's one... So my xubuntu mox is a laptop, but I really hate tap-to-click on the trackpad. I don't see a way to turn it off in the mouse settings, though. | 17:22 |
| jook | mox --> box | 17:22 |
| jook | Oh, nevermind. Got it. :) | 17:26 |
| WRStone | Question: Xubuntu Natty will NOT use Unity Desktop, correct? I've been advising users to switch to Ubuntu for about a year, but Unity is so unusable that I'll have to stop. I'd like to suggest Xubuntu instead, but I can't without knowing that I won't be sending them into the weeds. | 20:12 |
| TheSheep | WRStone: xubuntu will keep using xfce | 20:13 |
| WRStone | Awesome. That's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure. Thank you. | 20:13 |
