[00:52] <Guest46289> Greetings!
[00:52] <Guest46289> Anyone know how to get event sounds working in  11.04 Natty?
[00:53] <Guest46289> I've checked the box in the settings manager under the appearance tab...
[00:53] <Guest46289> no luck
[01:41] <john_rambo> running 10.04 .....just connected the bluetooth dongle .....lsusb  shows that it is connected ...but no icon appears in sys tray
[02:01] <john_rambo> running 10.04 .....just connected the bluetooth dongle .....lsusb  shows that it is connected ...but no icon appears in sys tray
[02:03] <johnnybs> hello
[02:04] <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
[02:07] <feyd> johnnybs: is it just sitting at a gray screen? flashing one? do you get to your desktop?
[02:08] <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
[02:10] <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
[02:11] <johnnybs> i didn't
[02:13] <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
[02:14] <johnnybs> feyd: ok. how do i check?
[02:15] <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
[02:17] <johnnybs> intel corporation mobile express graphics controller
[02:18] <feyd> ah
[02:19] <johnnybs> yeah. it's a piece of crap dell, and was low-end even when i bought it in '06 hahaha
[02:20] <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
[02:25] <feyd> johnnybs: no prob, sorry for any delays, in #ubuntu too trying to fix my sound problems as well, so i'm hopping around
[02:27] <johnnybs> cool. i just came across a post on the ubuntu forums that may be helpful. we'll see
[02:29] <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
[02:31] <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
[02:32] <feyd> johnnybs: that does look good, I was looking in the wrong place. best of luck to you
[02:33] <johnnybs> thanks for the assistance.
[02:35] <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
[02:36] <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] <wolfy> helo
[02:37] <Guest50649> i run in terminal '' compiz replace '' but now I do not have X and minimize on windwos
[02:38] <Guest50649> how can be restored?
[03:50] <ilyaZ> will vim-gnome work in xubuntu and if not does anyone know of an alternative?
[03:50] <charlie-tca> yes, it will.
[03:51] <ilyaZ> excellent, is that a general thing?
[03:52] <charlie-tca> yes
[03:53] <ilyaZ> cool, are they both based on X? is that why?
[03:59] <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.
[04:00] <ilyaZ> and thunderbird as default is the right move.
[04:22] <feyd> desperately seeking help on startup problems with xfce4-panel, pulse audio, and compiz
[04:26] <feyd> so many idles :(
[06:36] <q_a_z_steve> #freenode Can someone help #android deal with an abusive user: chachin
[06:37] <TheSheep> q_a_z_steve: wrong channel, I think
[06:38] <bazhang> he's done it in half a dozen simultaneously
[06:39] <TheSheep> wrong command then
[06:45] <q_a_z_steve> sorry, misunderstood what /amsg would do, won't happen again. All my channels are blue about it.
[11:44] <cYmen> Hello!
[11:58] <cYmen> I just installed 11.04 and can't figure out how to change mouse sensitivity. Any hints?
[11:59] <drc> Menu>Settings>Settings Manager>Mouse
[12:00] <cYmen> drc: It seems I can only set acceleration and threshold thereof with that.
[12:01] <cYmen> I don't want any acceleration so I set that to the minimum. Now I want less sensitivity as well.
[12:02] <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
[12:04] <cYmen> That seems to be for touchpads only but it's still an interesting direction of inquiry. Thanks.
[12:05] <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 :)
[12:08]  * drc intends to remedy that right now...off to the kitchen.
[12:25] <cYmen> Okay, setting it in the xorg.conf.d directory works. \o/
[12:25] <cYmen> drc: Thanks!
[12:27] <drc> Yeah, that was going to be my next suggestion :)
[12:28] <cYmen> Wasn't that your last suggestion as well? O_o
[12:29] <drc> Now that I'm half way thru my first cup of tea, I can actually think...almost.
[12:48] <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.
[12:56] <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. :)
[12:59] <drc> Mine does :)
[13:00] <cYmen> Mine does now. Must have been some sort of glitch.
[13:01] <drc> One man's nice is another man's glitch
[13:01] <DarkEra> lol
[13:02] <cYmen> hrhr
[13:03] <cYmen> I suppose it must strongly depend on how well you see. :)
[13:04] <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.
[13:05] <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. :)
[13:06] <drc> cYmen: See, I was right :)
[13:06] <drc> Please tell my wife!
[13:07] <DarkEra> drc's wife: he was right!
[13:08] <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?
[13:14] <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
[13:15] <drc> mbn_18: Still having trouble with the English-Hebrew thing?
[13:16] <mbn_18> Yep, I wonder if 'Input method switcher' is related
[13:16] <mbn_18> and there is also 'keyboard input methods'
[13:17] <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 :)
[14:48] <cYmen> Is it possible to remove the title bar from terminal windows?
[14:50] <Sysi> always or just when you need it?
[14:52] <Sysi> there's tap in settings, "show borders for new windows", you could try that
[15:04] <cYmen> Sysi: Where do I find that?
[15:05] <drc> cYmen: Terminal Preferences>Opening New Windows
[15:07] <drc> er... Terminal Preferences>Appearence>Opening....
[15:09] <cYmen> ah..I'm using xterm. :)
[15:09] <cYmen> But I suppose I could give this terminal a try...
[19:05] <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?
[19:07] <Soupermanito> mmm
[19:07] <Soupermanito> it still black=
[19:08] <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?
[19:09] <xubuntu-installe> hang on...
[19:10] <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?
[19:11] <xubuntu-installe> sorry...i'm a bit new to debian-based linux installations.  :-(
[19:12] <Soupermanito> grub is the boot manager
[19:12] <xubuntu-installe> Thank you.
[19:13] <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
[19:16] <xubuntu-installe> should i just start the installation from step one?
[19:16] <xubuntu-installe> that's what i'm thinking i should do...
[19:17] <Soupermanito> sure you could try
[19:18] <xubuntu-installe> thank you for your help.  man--it's  hot and humid out here (chicago)
[19:18] <Soupermanito> XD
[19:18] <Soupermanito> here is cold and humid (buenos aires)
[19:18] <xubuntu-installe> estas latino?
[19:18] <xubuntu-installe> su ingles es muy bien!!!
[19:22] <Soupermanito> i can't even translate "estas latino" to english XD
[19:26] <drc> Soupermanito: That's easy...it tanslates to: Soupermanito is going to send drc a sixpack of Cervecería y Maltería Quilmes :)
[19:27] <Soupermanito> XD
[19:28] <drc> off to the hospital again...back later
[19:28] <Soupermanito> :P i have a box of 12 one litter bottles of that beer on the backyard since like christmass XD i never drink beer
[19:28] <Soupermanito> :D good luck drc
[21:22] <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
[21:24] <Soupermanito> mmm
[21:24] <Soupermanito> cant you swapon?
[21:26] <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?
[21:28] <TedyBear> sudo swapon /dev/sdb3 -> swapon: /dev/sdb3: stat failed: No such file or directory
[21:30] <TedyBear> how do I perform a check on the partition?
[21:36] <TedyBear> How can I repair or check the swap partition
[21:37] <Soupermanito> sorry
[21:37] <Soupermanito> i dont know
[21:38] <Soupermanito> smarter people might
[21:58] <Soup|irssi> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/790898
[21:58] <Soupermanito> oh
[21:58] <charlie-tca> um, we are talking about you in the other channel
[22:14] <TedyBear> I've edited /etc/crypttab to reflect /dev/sdc3
[22:15] <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"
[22:16] <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] <GridCube> :)
[22:17] <TedyBear> I ran the testdisk utility to "locate" the sdc3 partition
[22:17] <TedyBear> Feels good, man
[22:18] <TedyBear> I think I'll reward myself with some cola
[22:29] <GridCube> :D

[23:55] <charlie-tca> sounds like the key is missing
[23:55] <ilyaZ> hey charlie-tca (thanks for helping me last night) where do I get the public key?
[23:55] <charlie-tca> Have you run sudo apt-get update?
[23:55] <ilyaZ> let me try
[23:56] <charlie-tca> if the key is missing, it will give you an error with a bunch of numbers. We can get the key from them
[23:57] <Penguiniator> How can I enable restarting the X server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace?
[23:58] <charlie-tca> I don't know. I use Alt+printscrn+k
[23:58] <charlie-tca> it works
[23:58] <charlie-tca> !control
[23:58] <charlie-tca> !controls
[23:58] <charlie-tca> nope
[23:59] <charlie-tca> !restart
[23:59] <charlie-tca> hm, it hates me
