[05:44] <zruty> I can get my bluetooth to pair and connect but how do I get the sound to play through it to my bluetooth headset?
[06:10] <abahkaiyisah> goodafternoon
[06:23] <zruty> Good afternoon
[06:23] <zruty> In ubuntu, after pairing, a new hardware output choice shows up in sound preferences, but in xubuntu, this new hardware never shows up as a sound output choice.
[07:23] <escoloader> hi xubuntians
[09:19] <Sysi> zruty: install pavucontrol
[09:19] <Ycarene> Is there a way to completely remove pulse without the installer trying to force you to remove everything else?
[09:20] <Sysi> it should remove just couple of dependencies
[09:21] <Sysi> what you're using, synaptic?
[09:21] <Ycarene> Yeah
[09:21] <Sysi> try sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio
[11:14] <oobiloz> hello?
[11:14] <Sysi> !hi
[12:02] <zruty> Sysi: Okay... and then...?
[12:27] <Sysi> zruty: ten you'll have same sound settings as in gnome
[12:29] <oobiloz> is it common to have problems iwth adobe-flashplugin in xubuntu 10.10?
[12:30] <Sysi> kind of
[12:30] <Sysi> crashy youtube?
[12:31] <oobiloz> no youtube at all
[12:32] <oobiloz> i have tried removing it from synaptic and reinstalling
[12:32] <oobiloz> i even tried the addon in firefox
[12:32] <oobiloz> nothing
[12:32] <Sysi> do you have gnash installed?
[12:32] <oobiloz> no, i tried searching for it in synaptic, it says it's not there
[12:34] <oobiloz> it loads everything in youtube but the vid
[12:35] <oobiloz> anything else i can try?
[12:53] <knome> oobiloz, flashplugin-nonfree is the name. you also want to remove gnash, if it's installed
[13:09] <oobiloz> i did that
[13:09] <oobiloz> no joy
[13:09] <oobiloz> i tried getting the restricted packages, it wouldn't isntall in synaptic, i had to use terminal
[13:09] <oobiloz> that didn't work either
[13:11] <oobiloz> ohohh
[13:11] <oobiloz> knome
[13:11] <oobiloz> i got it
[13:11] <oobiloz> :)
[13:11] <knome> good
[13:11] <oobiloz> wanna hear how?
[13:11] <knome> yeah, if you didn't get to install the normal way
[13:11] <oobiloz> well i got the restricted packages
[13:12] <knome> and it works?
[13:12] <oobiloz> restricted extras, installed via terminal using aptitude
[13:12] <knome> yeah
[13:12] <oobiloz> hell no
[13:12] <oobiloz> then i did sudo updatedb, which did nothing
[13:12] <oobiloz> then i looked itup in forum and did
[13:12] <oobiloz> locate libflashplayer.so
[13:12] <oobiloz> as it turns out i had double
[13:12] <oobiloz> i did
[13:13] <knome> 'sudo updatedb' updates the filed database so 'locate' will work. it doesn't appear to do anything, and still it does.
[13:13] <knome> s/filed/files/
[13:13] <oobiloz> rm /home/oobiloz/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[13:13] <oobiloz> ah
[13:13] <oobiloz> okay
[13:13] <oobiloz> so it did work
[13:13] <oobiloz> when i removed that it worked
[13:13] <knome> yeah
[13:13] <oobiloz> and i've never been so happy listening to maroon 5
[13:13] <oobiloz> mweheheeh
[13:14] <knome> had you copied that file there yourself?
[13:14] <oobiloz> i doubt it, i've just been unisntalling, reinstalling, and all that
[13:14] <knome> right... good to know then
[13:14] <oobiloz> ehehe
[13:15] <oobiloz> :)
[13:15] <oobiloz> if somebody asked me this, i wouldn't remember how to do it
[13:15] <knome> i do
[13:16] <oobiloz> thank god
[13:16] <knome> check if you have multiple copies of libflashplayer.so and remove the extra ones
[13:16] <oobiloz> i will probably end up asking *you* again next time
[13:16] <knome> ;)
[13:16] <knome> no problem
[13:16] <oobiloz> i will be coming on here regularly
[13:16] <oobiloz> and now, to install skype...
[13:16] <knome> ;]
[13:17] <knome> that should be pretty straightforward
[13:17] <oobiloz> i have terrible memory :(
[14:19] <oobiloz> great
[14:19] <oobiloz> nwo i'm having trouble with skype
[14:19] <oobiloz> anyone here have had sound problems?
[15:12] <Arpad2> hello
[15:14] <Arpad2> how to enable 3D graphics with proprietary nvidia driver?
[15:15] <Sysi> if you have it installed and used you have 3D
[15:16] <Arpad2> it is installed
[15:16] <Arpad2> but screensaver isnt working nor any of  3d games
[15:17] <Sysi> what graphics card / driver version?
[15:17] <Sysi> you rebooted?
[15:17] <Arpad2> rebooted yes
[15:18] <Sysi> check the drivers-dialog and see if it's used
[15:20] <Arpad2> under additional driver it sais current is in use
[15:21] <Sysi> lspci | grep VGA says what?
[15:22] <Arpad2> arpad@arpad-desktop:~/Desktop$ lspci | grep VGA
[15:22] <Arpad2> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GT] (rev a1)
[15:22] <Arpad2> arpad@arpad-desktop:~/Desktop$
[15:22] <Sysi> should just work..
[15:23] <Arpad2> bad luck I guess
[15:47] <Adam_> hello
[15:48] <Adam_> query
[15:48] <Adam_> goodbye
[16:21] <IdleOne> is there an archive of old xubuntu releases like old-releases.ubuntu.com?
[16:24] <Arpad2> Sysi: driver now works fine :)
[16:25] <Arpad2> Sysi: Ive got help, xorg.conf wasnt set good
[16:25] <IdleOne> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/ found it
[16:30] <nicofs> What is the correct command to start a xubuntu-session from CLI? i set up a vncserver but all i get is an empty xfce-session, so i guess i neet to tell the start script to start xubuntu...
[16:30] <Sysi> what are you doing now?
[16:31] <nicofs> accessing my pc via tightvnc...
[16:32] <Sysi> you start xfce with startxfce4
[16:32] <nicofs> does that load normal xfce4 or a xubuntu session?
[16:32] <Sysi> what should be the difference?
[16:33] <nicofs> appearance
[16:36] <nicofs> during the login screen, there is a diference between "start xubuntu session" and "start xfce4 session"...
[16:37] <Sysi> i never noticed
[16:39] <nicofs> well, a plain xfce4 session doesn't look like xubuntu - other icons, other themes (i guess it's just that) - i thought someone might know how to invoke xubuntu - or where to look for the command...
[16:39] <Sysi> both just take your personal xfce settings
[16:40] <Sysi> set it to look like you want
[16:40] <nicofs> hmm... i think, that's a problem for later... atm i can'T even get xfce4 to work...
[16:42] <nicofs> all i get after connecting is a blank grey screen with a black x as cursor...
[18:07] <xubuntu217> having a problem logging on, hit my user name the screen flashes and the boot screen reappear, no chance to enter password, last session  had..
[18:08] <xubuntu217> a hardware reboot due to nevernote screen capture not working hit esc and enter but would not capture ^X and ^C didn't work either..so now dea
[18:08] <xubuntu217> ..dead
[19:07] <Regi> Hey, is there where I can get a little bit of advice?
[19:07] <Sysi> yes
[19:09] <Regi> Xunbuntu just finished installing, it restarts the computer, I think it attempts to boot from the hard disk and it just sits there with a flashing _
[19:52] <jrtayloriv> Is there a way to find out which menu file xfce is using? I'm not using xubuntu, but I installed xfce4 package from a minimal Ubuntu install
[20:23] <jrtayloriv> /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop doesn't exist
[22:18] <ubuntu> how can i install flash?
[22:19] <Sysi> install flashplugin-nonfree with your favourite package manager
[22:26] <ubuntu> how can i install flash in ubuntu from terminal?
[22:26] <TheSheep> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[22:32] <Thermi> gn8
[22:48] <Stupendoussteve> Hmm. Where would one report a typo in a link on the xubuntu site?
[22:49] <Stupendoussteve> Never mind, think I found it
[23:10] <just_some_dude> hi. anyone know how to turn off "thumbnailing" (saving thumbnails to .thumbnails) in xubuntu 10.04. i can only find instructions for how to do it using nautilus.
[23:12] <ochosi> just_some_dude: uninstall "thunar-thumbnailers"?
[23:13] <just_some_dude> that seems way too easy and obvious, but i'll try it.
[23:13] <just_some_dude> thanks
[23:14] <ochosi> why "too easy"? :)
[23:16] <just_some_dude> because it seems like a pain to do from what i've been reading
[23:17] <just_some_dude> someone even said to do something like this: "chmod a-rwX ~/.thumbnails/"
[23:17] <ochosi> ah, that's just hacky
[23:18] <ochosi> so, have you tried to uninstall the thumbnailers and look in a newly created dir with imgs or other stuff?
[23:18] <just_some_dude> hang on
[23:18] <just_some_dude> i'm hoping i don't have to restart
[23:18] <ochosi> no, you don't have to
[23:19] <ochosi> well, in fact the thumbnailer might still be running
[23:19] <ochosi> let me quickly check
[23:19] <ochosi> hm no i think it should be ok
[23:19] <ochosi> and anyway, restarting your session should suffice
[23:20] <just_some_dude> nope, didn't work.
[23:20] <just_some_dude> i guess gimp makes thumbnails too
[23:20] <ochosi> no, not for thunar
[23:20] <ochosi> re-login
[23:21] <ochosi> the already created thumbnails will not be gone btw
[23:21] <ochosi> unless you rm -r the thumbnails-folder
[23:21] <just_some_dude> i deleted all the thumbs after uninstalling
[23:21] <just_some_dude> then ran gimp, and new thumbs showed up
[23:21] <ochosi> why gimp? i thought you were talking about thunar?
[23:21] <just_some_dude> i just don't want any thumbnails
[23:21] <ochosi> gimp only uses a file-chooser dialog that is gtk, not thunar
[23:22] <just_some_dude> i'd rather have thumbs generated each time than waste disk space on cached thumbs
[23:23] <Sysi> they're eating *megabytes* of precious hdd?
[23:23] <ochosi> disk space is cheap, cpu power is usually less cheap. anyway, i don't really feel like arguing about that
[23:23] <ochosi> the point is that at least for thunar you might have to restart your session
[23:23] <ochosi> or restart thunar
[23:23] <ochosi> restarting your session means: logout, login
[23:23] <Sysi> thunar has option in settings to not show thumbnails
[23:24] <ochosi> restarting thunar means: Thunar -q, Thunar
[23:24] <just_some_dude> i just decided to say "screw it," and delete the directory from time to time
[23:24] <Sysi> you could symlink it to /dev/null :P
[23:24] <just_some_dude> hacky
[23:24] <just_some_dude> heh
[23:25] <ochosi> well, you could run a script on login that does that
[23:25] <just_some_dude> now, i do have a "real" issue
[23:25] <ochosi> but i still think it's a pretty bad decision :)
[23:25] <just_some_dude> it's about hdaps
[23:25] <just_some_dude> i'm not going to worry about it
[23:26] <just_some_dude> there is no gui for hdaps, and i need to know if i set it up correctly.
[23:26] <just_some_dude> it does work, but the xfce4-hdaps thing says "hdaps is off"
[23:27] <just_some_dude> i type "sudo hdapsd -d sda -s 15 -a -v -y", and that spits out a continuous stream of data that changes when i move my computer around
[23:28] <just_some_dude> it also stops if i hit my computer too hard
[23:28] <just_some_dude> but, i'm running it without really knowing what it is doing.
[23:36] <just_some_dude> if the hdaps thing is too involved, i have one more issue
[23:36] <just_some_dude> full screen flash video will freeze after a few minutes, but the audio keeps playing
[23:37] <just_some_dude> if i leave full screen, the video goes back to playing normally
