[02:23] <G-Kar> Is there a way to turn off the screen saver in 11.04? It keeps locking up the computer forcing a hard reboot
[02:25] <Unit193> G-Kar: Menu > Settings > Settings Manager
[02:28] <G-Kar> thanxs
[02:30] <G-Kar> I've another question. Does v11.04 run on a k6-2 (i486) cpu?
[02:31] <bazhang> G-Kar, doubt any recent distro will
[02:32] <G-Kar> yea; kinda what I thought. Even 10.04 has some problems with it
[02:34] <Unit193> LTS might

[03:25] <autif> I lost my sound, I am not sure why - may be after an upgrade. I executed "bash alsa-info.sh --stdout" as mentioned in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure step 3 (step 1 really). and my versions dont sync - The output I have is - Driver version:     1.0.23, Library version:    1.0.24.1, Utilities version:  1.0.24.2 - So what can I do to get my sound back?

[08:27] <ac001> does anyone know how to disable clicking on a laptop touchpad?
[08:27] <ac001> it's driving me nuts and I can't find a setting in the mouse control panel
[08:34] <knome> ac001, have you tried gsynaptics
[09:04] <MK``> I disabled it via the gnome mouse settings thing, I don't believe the default xfce mouse settings thing has an option for it heh
[11:59] <dmesg> Hi there, I just installed xubuntu but I have no idea how to connect my bluetooth mouse to it, any pointers?
[12:13] <xubuntu502> hi, im just installing the 11.04 Xubuntu and i must say i dont realy like the combined news section in the taskbar. but if i remove it, are there still the volume contro and network manager tools as fallback?
[14:47] <FreeHCK> hi, people!
[14:47] <FreeHCK> can somebody help me?
[14:48] <FreeHCK> i have a problem with system tray on xfce4-panel - it's very small...
[14:48] <FreeHCK> now i have 8 elements there, and ninth element is not visible.
[14:50] <FreeHCK> as a variant, i can make to be smaller icons in tray, but i want tray to be larger...
[14:51] <FreeHCK> hm... sorry, it was bug. now im seeing all 9 elements.
[15:01] <LetsGo67> Hello room!  i used to be a fan of Xubuntu, but then it became bloated.  Why?
[17:43] <gnarlygroundhog> Hi. What is the space requirement for Xubuntu Natty Narwhal?
[17:44] <zenrox> pretty much the same as ubuntu
[17:45] <gnarlygroundhog> Hm. Ok. I had noticed on Xubuntu's get page it listed this: "To install Xubuntu, you need 2.0 GB of free space on your hard disk."
[17:45] <gnarlygroundhog> Ubuntu Natty requires 4.4GB so it confused me..
[17:45] <drc> http://www.xubuntu.org/get
[17:45] <zenrox> ya xubuntu uses a lot from natty as the under the hood stuff
[17:46] <Sysi> gnarlygroundhog: how much do you got?
[18:11] <gnarlygroundhog> Only 3.8GB. Having to use USB drives until my hard drive arrives.

[19:39] <Icanhasnicknamen> Hello, could anyone help me with an issue?
[19:39] <Icanhasnicknamen> hello? anyone online?
[19:40] <Unit193> !ask | Icanhasnicknamen
[19:40] <ubottu> Icanhasnicknamen: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[19:40] <Icanhasnicknamen> Ok, sorry.
[19:41] <Icanhasnicknamen> My audio worked fine, until, well, now. It stopped definitely, and I don't know what else to try. I'm running version 11.04
[19:43] <Unit193> Icanhasnicknamen: What has changed? You checked all the settings in the volume manager?
[19:43] <Icanhasnicknamen> Well, there is only one sound channel (Master), and it is not muted.
[19:43] <Icanhasnicknamen> However, I have absolutely no audio...
[19:44] <Icanhasnicknamen> Btw, I will post lshw info
[19:44] <Icanhasnicknamen> http://paste.ubuntu.com/604186/
[19:46] <Unit193> Have you done any updates?
[19:47] <Icanhasnicknamen> Well, I installed oss4 package yesterday... could it be?
[19:47] <Icanhasnicknamen> I removed it btw, thinking he was the culprit
[19:50] <Unit193> You may have to change it so things are back to using alsa (I'm not really a audio guy) and:
[19:50] <Unit193> !audio
[19:50] <ubottu> If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.
[19:52] <Icanhasnicknamen> That's the problem. I don't know how to restore stuff.
[19:52] <Icanhasnicknamen> My sound card is detected, but cannot work.
[19:53] <Icanhasnicknamen> http://paste.ubuntu.com/604191/
[19:53] <Icanhasnicknamen> Check out, I tried to modprobe him and this happens.
[19:55] <Unit193> In your gurb menu, do you have another kernel option? You could try that... (Or wait for one of the audio people to come back)
[19:56] <Icanhasnicknamen> Ok, I'll give a shot. Thanks for the help anyway =)
[21:40] <bc81> hi there.  my xubuntu installlation doesn't have an option to suspend, all i have is [Log Out] [Restart] [Shutdown].. where do i find the suspend option?
[21:44] <likemindead> Should be the session menu, top right (by default), bc81.
[21:50] <bc81> !panels
[21:50] <ubottu> Did your panels disappear? Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel | See also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels
[21:51] <bc81> thanks, likemindead..i must have messed something up.  is there a command to reset panel to default as like ubuntu?
[21:57] <likemindead> What version of Xubuntu?
[21:59] <likemindead> Try Settings > Panels | Add new session menu?
[22:05] <hotquac> <3 xfce
[22:05] <hotquac> it's so snappy compared to the pig known as KDE
[22:05] <hotquac> and Unity can suck it
[22:06] <Liv-> <3 xfce ^^
[22:06] <hotquac> :D
[22:07] <Sysi> i'm gonna try gnome3, rumours tell it's nice with keyboard
[22:09] <Liv-> I'm still a noob... started with this last january hehe
[22:09] <Liv-> and I'm already loving it
[22:10] <drc> bc81: I <‌think> that RENAMING /home/<WHATEVER>/.config/xfce4/panel and restarting X (or reboot) should work...if it doesn't, just put the original ...../panel back <should> undo the change.
[22:10] <bc81> drc: thanks ill try that..you know how to restart x from the terminal?
[22:10] <drc> bc81: startx should work
[22:10] <bc81> k
[22:23] <Liv-> I can't make monochrome tray icons work. I've installed a few and nothing happened... :/
[22:27] <drc> Liv-: Define  "make monochrome icons work" ?
[22:31] <Liv-> I've installed different ones (like ubuntu-mono-dark and the whole faenza set) but they don't seem to change (the tray icons I mean)
[22:31] <Liv-> I've installed them through synaptic
[22:32] <Liv-> maybe it's just because they don't work? or do I need to do something else...?
[22:32] <drc> Liv-: Are you talkinig about the indicator-plugin or the Notification Area?
[22:33] <Liv-> the notification area, where the clock, volume control, etc icons are
[22:33] <Sysi> relogin
[22:33] <drc> What Sysi said :)
[22:36] <Liv-> mmh... I've tried that before and nothing happened...
[22:36] <Liv-> BUT...
[22:36] <Liv-> I've installed others this afternoon
[22:37] <Liv-> ok, I'll try again
[22:41] <Liv-> oh well
[22:41] <Liv-> nothing happened
[22:42] <Liv-> does not matter
[22:42] <Liv-> thanks you both anyway :)
[22:42] <drc> Liv-: I think the Notification Area Icons are different from normal iconq
[22:42] <drc> icons
[22:43] <Sysi> they're still going with icon theme
[22:43] <Liv-> maybe it's just that some icons won't change, I don't know
[22:43] <drc> The icon set has to have them in the set to show  up, otherwise they use a default icon.
[22:44] <drc> Liv-: What irc client are you using?
[22:45] <Liv-> xchat 2.8.8
[22:45] <drc> Ok
[22:45] <Liv-> the maverick default
[22:45] <Liv-> why?
[22:45] <tilleyrw> Why is my xubuntu desktop dull and boring versus Windows or MacOS which has clear and sharp borders & colors?
[22:45] <tilleyrw> I have the latest nVidia drivers installed.
[22:45] <drc> Liv-:  Try this...choose the elementary icon set...check out the icon (a bubble with the X in it)
[22:46] <tilleyrw> It's not the icon sets.  My screen UI is simply "fuzzy" with indistinct borders and soft fuzzy colors.
[22:47] <drc> Liv-:   The Notification Area icon is an X...Change the icon set to Tango, tie normal icon changes, but the NA icon does not.
[22:47] <Liv-> I had elementary xubuntu dark before and the chat icon is always an orange X that says "chat" in very small white letters
[22:48] <drc> The Same with pidgin, the normal icon is onething, but the notification icon is something else...
[22:48] <Liv-> whatever theme I choose, the chat icon is always the same
[22:48] <tilleyrw> Even my text in chat is fuzzy with indistinct boundaries.
[22:48] <Liv-> same with pidgin but that's another thing...
[22:48] <tilleyrw> I'm searching settings now.
[22:48] <drc> Liv-: in both the menu and the NA?
[22:49] <Liv-> yes, except with the elementary set
[22:49] <Liv-> which shows the white bubble as you said
[22:49] <Liv-> in the menu
[22:50] <tilleyrw> To whom are you chatting, Liv / drc?
[22:50] <tilleyrw> Who here can help me with a video interface issue?  I think the vid drivers aren't precise on my box.
[22:51] <drc> My point is...I <think> the Menu/Desktop and the NA icons are distict entities (may one is 25px and the others are 32...as an example), so if the icon set you change to does not have the NA subset, it will display a default icon.
[22:51] <drc> tilleyrw: not you
[22:51] <Liv-> seems they are different indeed
[22:52] <Liv-> for example if I want to change pidgin's NA icon I need to do something else (which requires root permission I think)
[22:53] <drc> Liv-: It could...I've never been that interested to find out (or am lazy, one or the other)
[22:54] <Liv-> hehe don't worry, I can live with that :)
[22:55] <drc> tilleyrw: As for fonts, have you looked at Menu>Settings>Settings Manager>Appearence>Fonts?
[22:56] <drc> tilleyrw: I use 1) Enable Anti-aliasing, 2) Hinting = Full and 3) Sub-pixel order = RGB, and my fonts are very precise
[22:57] <drc> tilleyrw: You do know it's considered rude to initiate a PM without asking, don't you?
[22:59] <drc> tilleyrw: I also replace the default (Droid?) with DejaVu Sans Book.
[23:01] <drc> tilleyrw: Also, look at Menu>Settings>Settings Manager>Windows Manager Tweaks and turn off Compositor and see if that helps
[23:05] <tilleyrw> Where are Font adjustments?  I don't see a Fonts module.
[23:06] <drc> tilleyrw: Menu>Settins>Settings Manager>Appearence> Fonts
[23:06] <tilleyrw> Thank you kind friend.
[23:06] <drc> np :)
[23:07] <drc> If these Don't help, you might make sure that your running your monitors native resolution (whatever that is)
[23:08] <drc> tilleyrw: You do know it's considered rude to initiate a PM without asking, don't you? Redux.
[23:10] <drc> tilleyrw: Besides, asking question in the channel allows others to follow the converstion and either learn or add their ideas.
[23:10] <Liv-> tilleyrw: have you tried setting the hinting to "none"?
[23:10] <drc> And sometime correct the advisor when then make an error :(
[23:10] <Liv-> if I put "ful" as you said, it looks awful in my monitor
[23:11] <Liv-> *full
[23:12] <drc> Yup...it depends on the card/monitor/eyes :)  YMMV as they say.
[23:13] <drc> Pupply Play Time...back later
[23:15] <tilleyrw> How do I change my maximum screen resolution?  I need 1280x1024.  The largest in the menu is 1024x768.
[23:21] <tilleyrw> How can I change my max screen res if the size isn't listed?  My max says 1024x768 when I need 1280x1024.
[23:21] <Liv-> maybe you can't change it to a larger resolution than that
[23:22] <Liv-> or maybe yes, through the terminal... but I don't know any commands for that
[23:23] <tilleyrw> I'll try editing x.conf.
[23:23] <tilleyrw> It may be a driver thing though.  :(
[23:23] <Liv-> maybe :/
[23:25] <hotquac> it's probably a driver thing
