| johnnybs | hello | 02:03 |
| feyd | i have muted sound at startup, but unmuting changes nothing, there's no sound regardless of levels | 02:04 |
| johnnybs | i'm keep getting a gray screen when i restart. any suggestions? | 02:04 |
| johnnybs | using 10.10 | 02:04 |
| feyd | johnnybs: is it just sitting at a gray screen? flashing one? do you get to your desktop? | 02:07 |
| johnnybs | its gray with white and multicolored lines. no desktop | 02:08 |
| feyd | sounds like video errors | 02:08 |
| feyd | are you running different drivers other than nouveau | 02:08 |
| johnnybs | hmmm lemme check. i don't know as much as i should about my computer hahaha | 02:10 |
| johnnybs | new to linux as well | 02:10 |
| feyd | that's fine, did you install any drivers on your own? If not, it should be running nouveau | 02:10 |
| johnnybs | i didn't | 02:11 |
| johnnybs | i was having the same issue on 10.04, which i'd been running for a few weeks, so i upgraded with the hope that the newer version would work out the bug | 02:13 |
| feyd | johnnybs: ok, then lets find out what driver you could be using other than nouveau, I had issues KIND of similar to yours, but mine happened while on the desktop, got random artifacting and multicolored line errors | 02:13 |
| johnnybs | feyd: ok. how do i check? | 02:14 |
| feyd | excellent question | 02:15 |
| feyd | lemme find out | 02:15 |
| feyd | open up a terminal and type lspci | 02:15 |
| feyd | then hit enter | 02:15 |
| johnnybs | intel corporation mobile express graphics controller | 02:17 |
| feyd | ah | 02:18 |
| johnnybs | yeah. it's a piece of crap dell, and was low-end even when i bought it in '06 hahaha | 02:19 |
| feyd | well that's ok, I've not dealt with intel on linux, so I dont know if nouveau is your best bet or not | 02:20 |
| feyd | lemme see what I can find out | 02:20 |
| johnnybs | really appreciate it | 02:20 |
| feyd | johnnybs: no prob, sorry for any delays, in #ubuntu too trying to fix my sound problems as well, so i'm hopping around | 02:25 |
| johnnybs | cool. i just came across a post on the ubuntu forums that may be helpful. we'll see | 02:27 |
| DarkEra | Nouveau is a opensource driver for nVidia cards if i'm not mistaken, it shouldn't have anything to do with Intel cards as far as i know | 02:29 |
| feyd | DarkEra: ok, I didn't know. | 02:31 |
| johnnybs | ok thanks. i think this may be my answer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=368009 | 02:31 |
| feyd | johnnybs: that does look good, I was looking in the wrong place. best of luck to you | 02:32 |
| johnnybs | thanks for the assistance. | 02:33 |
| feyd | johnnybs: didn't do much, but you're welcome | 02:35 |
| feyd | johnnybs: its likely related to drivers, so if what youre doing doesnt work out, keep on that | 02:35 |
| feyd | johnnybs: theres some restricted drivers in the repositories that may prove help, and fallback drivers too | 02:35 |
| johnnybs | wouldn't have looked into drivers otherwise. i was just googling "grey screen ubuntu" hahaha | 02:36 |
| johnnybs | cool. i'm hoping this one works out... | 02:36 |

| ilyaZ | will vim-gnome work in xubuntu and if not does anyone know of an alternative? | 03:50 |
| charlie-tca | yes, it will. | 03:50 |
| ilyaZ | excellent, is that a general thing? | 03:51 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 03:52 |
| ilyaZ | cool, are they both based on X? is that why? | 03:53 |
| ilyaZ | in either case. Xubuntu is effin awesome!!!!! I updated to ubunutu 11.04 and it totally slowed down to a crawl. Then I installed fluxbox and fell in love with minimalism. Then I shopped around for a distro and Xubuntu is the perfect mix, since I like nice ubunutu things without gnome bs. | 03:59 |

| cYmen | Hello! | 11:44 |
| cYmen | I just installed 11.04 and can't figure out how to change mouse sensitivity. Any hints? | 11:58 |
| drc | Menu>Settings>Settings Manager>Mouse | 11:59 |
| cYmen | drc: It seems I can only set acceleration and threshold thereof with that. | 12:00 |
| cYmen | I don't want any acceleration so I set that to the minimum. Now I want less sensitivity as well. | 12:01 |
| drc | As far as I know that's it for a GUI. Anything more than that you will have to edit the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf | 12:02 |
| cYmen | That seems to be for touchpads only but it's still an interesting direction of inquiry. Thanks. | 12:04 |
| drc | cYmen: Sorry, I on;y have a laptop and think in terms of a touchpad. Also I just woke up, and have not had my first cuppa :) | 12:05 |
| * drc intends to remedy that right now...off to the kitchen. | 12:08 | |
| cYmen | Okay, setting it in the xorg.conf.d directory works. \o/ | 12:25 |
| cYmen | drc: Thanks! | 12:25 |
| drc | Yeah, that was going to be my next suggestion :) | 12:27 |
| cYmen | Wasn't that your last suggestion as well? O_o | 12:28 |
| drc | Now that I'm half way thru my first cup of tea, I can actually think...almost. | 12:29 |
| drc | cYmen: I think that the more traditional metod of configuring the mouse is with/etc/x11/xorg.conf. I'm not really a X11 type of guy so I'm not real sure of the exact settings, but google is your friend. http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html might be a good place to start. | 12:48 |
| cYmen | Man all this subpixel rendering, smoothing, antialiasing and hinting is driving me crazy. | 12:56 |
| cYmen | All I want is for things to look nice. :) | 12:56 |
| drc | Mine does :) | 12:59 |
| cYmen | Mine does now. Must have been some sort of glitch. | 13:00 |
| drc | One man's nice is another man's glitch | 13:01 |
| DarkEra | lol | 13:01 |
| cYmen | hrhr | 13:02 |
| cYmen | I suppose it must strongly depend on how well you see. :) | 13:03 |
| drc | It really depends on the monitor, video card/driver and settings. The exact same settings I use on a friend's computer look "glitchy". | 13:04 |
| drc | And your eyes, yes. | 13:04 |
| drc | Mine are old and tired. | 13:04 |
| DarkEra | Well, up to now i'm very pleased with the newly install of Xubuntu 11.04. I don't regret the switch from Ubuntu 11.04 on the laptop | 13:05 |
| cYmen | Hm. I have an external monitor on my notebook. It looks good on the notebook but bad on the external. :) | 13:05 |
| drc | cYmen: See, I was right :) | 13:06 |
| drc | Please tell my wife! | 13:06 |
| DarkEra | drc's wife: he was right! | 13:07 |
| mbn_18 | Hi, I added a second language to the keyboard layout but I cant switch between them. I work on the live image. Any idea what I need to do so I can switch languages? | 13:08 |
| drc | mbn_18: I have no knowledge of how to do that, but have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization ? | 13:14 |
| mbn_18 | drc: thanks, will check | 13:14 |
| drc | mbn_18: Still having trouble with the English-Hebrew thing? | 13:15 |
| mbn_18 | Yep, I wonder if 'Input method switcher' is related | 13:16 |
| mbn_18 | and there is also 'keyboard input methods' | 13:16 |
| drc | I don't deal with different locales/languages (to misquote the movie, I speal only 2 languages: English and bad English) so I have no idea.But some here will, sometime :) | 13:17 |

| xubuntu-installe | i have a brief question. i'm installing xubuntu 10,04,2 and it's 95% done. it's running dpkg. i'm installing it on a cd. i didn't realise my monitor went to power save mode and i just assumed that it shut down and finished. i popped out the cd and it's been on hang for a minute now. does that mean that i need to reinstall it due to this error? | 19:05 |
| Soupermanito | mmm | 19:07 |
| Soupermanito | it still black= | 19:07 |
| Soupermanito | it is still black?* | 19:08 |
| Soupermanito | can't you place the cd again and see if it restarts? | 19:08 |
| Soupermanito | are you sure it ended the installation? including grub? | 19:08 |
| xubuntu-installe | hang on... | 19:09 |
| xubuntu-installe | i put the cd back on and it's still at 95%. it's been at that amount for 15 minutes. | 19:10 |
| xubuntu-installe | what's grub? | 19:10 |
| xubuntu-installe | sorry...i'm a bit new to debian-based linux installations. :-( | 19:11 |
| Soupermanito | grub is the boot manager | 19:12 |
| xubuntu-installe | Thank you. | 19:12 |
| Soupermanito | whitout it the system wont boot | 19:13 |
| xubuntu-installe | Only one window is up and it's titled "installing system.." i downloaded the iso image and burned it to cd. | 19:13 |
| Soupermanito | xubuntu-installe, it might be at 95% because its downloading stuff frem the internet | 19:13 |
| xubuntu-installe | no internet connection. | 19:13 |
| Soupermanito | oh | 19:13 |
| xubuntu-installe | should i just start the installation from step one? | 19:16 |
| xubuntu-installe | that's what i'm thinking i should do... | 19:16 |
| Soupermanito | sure you could try | 19:17 |
| xubuntu-installe | thank you for your help. man--it's hot and humid out here (chicago) | 19:18 |

| TedyBear | Hello | 21:22 |
| TedyBear | My system froze up earlier today | 21:22 |
| TedyBear | and now the swap isn't mounted at boot even if /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is still in /etc/fstab | 21:22 |
| Soupermanito | mmm | 21:24 |
| Soupermanito | cant you swapon? | 21:24 |
| TedyBear | may I still refer to "swapon /dev/sdb3" as it was during the installation? | 21:26 |
| TedyBear | or will I have to take into account the /dev/mapper/cryptswap1? | 21:26 |
| TedyBear | sudo swapon /dev/sdb3 -> swapon: /dev/sdb3: stat failed: No such file or directory | 21:28 |
| TedyBear | how do I perform a check on the partition? | 21:30 |

| TedyBear | I've edited /etc/crypttab to reflect /dev/sdc3 | 22:14 |
| TedyBear | sudo swapon doesn't do the trick, I try to run sudo cryptdisks_start /dev/sdc3 but that gives the error message "/dev/sdc3 is not in crypttab" | 22:15 |
| GridCube | have you tried seen if gparted says something about that partition? | 22:16 |
| GridCube | you could reformat it? | 22:16 |
| TedyBear | got it | 22:16 |
| TedyBear | the correct format was sudo cryptdisks_start cryptswap1 | 22:16 |
