[02:10] My BT headset connects but never shows up in Sound Prefs, so how to route sound to it? [02:18] nice distro :) [02:18] good for my toshiba tecra .. [03:06] No networks show up under wireless networks can anyone help? [03:08] Is the wireless switched on? [03:08] Sometimes there is a switch somewhere [03:09] Yea the light is on but if I do iwconfig it doesn't have a wlan0 [03:10] Any ideas? [03:11] moment... [03:11] Okay. [03:11] Is it a USB or a PCI thing? [03:12] PCI it is a hp ze5000 and it is built it [03:12] you can do sudo lspci in a terminal window [03:12] And see if it is in there [03:13] there is a network controller and a ethernet controller [03:13] Intersil Corportation Prism 2.5 Wavelan Chipset [03:14] How do I know which one it is? [03:19] Good question... [03:19] Ethernet is wired [03:19] So it must be the other one [03:19] right [03:20] What with ifconfig? [03:21] Doesn't show any wlan0 [03:21] iwconfig? [03:21] I tried installing the driver but I don't know if I have the right one and it is hard to find [03:21] It doesn't show up there either [03:21] I am starting my xubuntu lapdog... [03:21] Yes, I have never heard of intersil [03:22] I guess I just need to try to find the right driver [03:22] It is an HP ZE5000 and there is no drivers on the HP website and I can't really find out what wireless card it has... [03:23] 11b minipci AMB is what is says on the sticker on the card [03:24] ok... [03:24] sudo lsmod | more [03:25] Do you see any module that looks like it may be the wireless? [03:25] No not really I am searching for the driver now though... [03:26] The only driver files I can find are freaking .exe files [03:27] ndiswrapper...? [03:28] When I google Intersil Corportation Prism 2.5 Wavelan and Ubuntu I see a few posts for ubuntu forum come up [03:28] ndiswrapper is a .. tool... that you can use the Windows driver under linux [03:28] Works 99% of the time, used it myself a long time ago.. [03:29] I know but the problem is I can't just find the drivers, there is only .exe files [03:31] I might of found it hold on... [03:33] Yes, I too have an old network controller for which no specific linux driver exists. No choice but to use ndiswrapper. [03:34] OR, since yours is also old, buy a newer network controller. [03:34] N is the standard now, people are ridding themselves of (A/B/)G cards. [05:48] Anyone on that can help me with a wireless problem? === david is now known as Guest17690 [05:49] Has anyone delt with installing drivers for Prism 2.5 wavelan wireless card? I have tried everything and can't get it to work. === v__v is now known as V01 === Bofh is now known as Guest5890 === Guest5890 is now known as Bofhzilla [08:51] don't suppose anyone's active who's good with xserver related stuff? [08:51] Might as well ask... [08:51] 's a silly problem really [08:52] can't get the option for 1280x1024 [08:52] Did you configure X? [08:52] all advice i can turn up via google is " edit xorg.conf" ( doesn't exist) or dpkg-reconfigure ( does nothing) [08:52] !x [08:52] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [08:53] * Bofhzilla clicks [08:54] !gnome [08:54] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [08:54] what graphics card? [08:55] !kde [08:55] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [08:55] radeon mobility 9250 [08:55] *9000 [08:55] muddled up with old desktop card for a sec, sorry [08:58] does output of 'xrandr' show you that option? [09:01] bofh@Thundera:~$ xrandr [09:01] Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096 [09:01] VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) [09:01] DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) [09:01] LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm [09:01] below that it lists from 640x480 to 1024x768 [09:02] but i was kinda figuring if i can run 1280x1024 in xp, it should be capable [09:03] CRT? [09:04] laptop [09:04] neg @ crt [09:08] then you'll just need the xorg.conf [09:56] Anyone in here? === thermi is now known as Thermi [13:11] is there a harddisk load monitor applet for xubuntu? [13:13] iotop? [13:14] oh, applet [13:14] ljsoftnet, you can use xfapplet to use a gnome panel applet if there is one for gnome :) [13:15] is used it, but it goes back to its default setting after reboot [13:15] knome is used it, but it goes back to its default setting after reboot [13:16] ljsoftnet, when logging out, do you select 'save session' ? [13:17] knome didn't know that [13:17] try that, and see if the applet is working after reboot/-login :) [13:18] knome ok, rebooting [13:24] knome what does save sessions do? [13:24] ljsoftnet, umm, save the session :)) [13:25] knome it saves the session of xfce's panels? [13:25] ljsoftnet, should save that too, and any applications running [13:26] knome ok thanks [13:26] no problem. did it work? [13:27] knome yes it worked [13:27] okay, great [13:28] knome what about system loader, what does "swap" monitor, is it the harddisk? [13:29] ljsoftnet, yes and no - swap is an area in the hard disk that is used like ram when/if you run out of ram [13:30] knome ah ok [13:30] ljsoftnet, say, if you have 1GB of ram, the system starts using the swap partition (a bit before) when 1GB ram is used [13:30] knome ah thanks man === v__v is now known as V01 === v__v is now known as V01 === matthew is now known as Guest62952 [20:14] guys I need help. I was in the window manager settings playing around with window borders, and then I scrolled all the way to the bottom and a black screen flashed with some kind of error text I couldn't see and then I went back to the login screen. It does it every time I log in unless I go to the recovery console === Guest62952 is now known as mister_m [20:15] does anyone know what could be going on? or perhaps where I could view the error message? [20:15] log in to console and "rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4" it will destroy your settings [20:16] it's propably the one known bug with one wm theme [20:16] Sysi: ah :( [20:17] Sysi: I'll try that and get back to you === matthew_ is now known as mister_m [20:25] Sysi: that worked. [20:25] Sysi: thank you [20:26] np (now you can scroll through all settings again!) [20:28] Sysi: I'll make back ups of my settings [20:28] before I start doing that [20:28] this is a fresh install though [20:36] I had I think two task bars before, gotta figure out what happened with that === Thermi is now known as thermi [22:43] sup everyone [22:45] i install xubuntu on my laptop earlier it already had ubuntu/kubuntu on it, i installed it threw "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" everything went fine [22:46] it installed with kde as default gui... i liked it so i downloaded the xubuntu cd an installed it on my desktop an it installed with gnome as default [22:47] it didn't ask me witch one i wanted so y the differance? [22:47] xubuntu does not use kde [22:47] it uses Xfce with some of gnome [22:47] neither does it use gnome [22:48] hmm [22:48] when i installed it on my laptop it the gui looked like a kde themed gui, with the menu in the bottom left an so on [22:49] now on my desktop it looks like a gnome gui with the applications/places menu at the top [22:49] so why would it install differant [22:50] sounds like you ran a kde session before [22:50] instead of the xubuntu session [22:50] and sorry about my confusion of the gui's i am still a beginner to linux [22:50] no it was xubuntu [22:51] when it loaded it had a tips menu pop up talking about xubuntu and had the mouse background an so on [22:52] would it make a differance in the versions? 10.04long term or 10.10? [22:52] on the gui that it uses i mean? [22:53] xubuntu has never put the menu in the bottom left [22:53] then what am i seeing? [22:54] Shyster, take a screenshot and upload it to imagebin and we'll see [22:54] ok [22:55] i think its because of my laptop has 10.10 on it [22:55] an my desktop i put 10.04 [22:55] but i will upload a screen shot now [23:01] http://imagebin.org/145783 [23:01] theres the screen shot [23:01] from my laptop [23:03] and this is the one of my desktop http://imagebin.org/145784 [23:03] mmhmm, that's definitely xubuntu, but it might be the xfce session (instead of xubuntu session) [23:04] yea, an i really like it. [23:04] which one? [23:05] laptop gui [23:05] right, well you can always change the panels to be as in the laptop screenshot [23:07] like i said i just switched to linux from windows. i had some classes over linux in college but never really used to much. so i been searching for a flavour i like to stick with [23:07] mm-hmm [23:09] another question real quick i have a 20" LCD display on my desktop an xunbuntu detects it as a crt monitor and cuts off some of the right side of the screen [23:09] i have tryed changing the resolution but doesn't help [23:10] what graphics card? [23:10] umm its a nvidia [23:10] let me check what kind [23:10] have you tried nvidia-settings? [23:10] that's a pretty powerful tool [23:11] yea i have [23:12] thats what detects my monitor as a ctr o.O [23:12] well, you really should be able to sort it with that [23:12] doesn't really matter :) [23:12] you only want to change the monitor layout [23:13] but it doesn't give me any wide screen resolutions as a crt :( [23:13] hmm [23:18] any ideas? [23:56] Hello Everyone, i am using ubuntu 10.10 that works real slow on my system. I want to switch over to xubuntu. Will installing the xubuntu-desktop package make my system work fine ? [23:57] jayant, that might bring some help. how much ram do you have? [23:58] knome: 256MB RAM [23:58] okay. the pc won't be lightning fast with xubuntu either, then, i'm afraid. [23:58] however, good application choices can ease the situation [23:58] knome: then what else can i try to make it work fast ? [23:59] there is lubuntu, which is even lighter than xubuntu [23:59] though i really suggest a reinstall anyway
