=== mike_ is now known as Guest46289 [00:52] Greetings! [00:52] Anyone know how to get event sounds working in 11.04 Natty? [00:53] I've checked the box in the settings manager under the appearance tab... [00:53] no luck === elektronisch is now known as elek [01:41] running 10.04 .....just connected the bluetooth dongle .....lsusb shows that it is connected ...but no icon appears in sys tray [02:01] running 10.04 .....just connected the bluetooth dongle .....lsusb shows that it is connected ...but no icon appears in sys tray [02:03] hello [02:04] i have muted sound at startup, but unmuting changes nothing, there's no sound regardless of levels [02:04] i'm keep getting a gray screen when i restart. any suggestions? [02:04] using 10.10 [02:07] johnnybs: is it just sitting at a gray screen? flashing one? do you get to your desktop? [02:08] its gray with white and multicolored lines. no desktop [02:08] sounds like video errors [02:08] are you running different drivers other than nouveau [02:10] hmmm lemme check. i don't know as much as i should about my computer hahaha [02:10] new to linux as well [02:10] that's fine, did you install any drivers on your own? If not, it should be running nouveau [02:11] i didn't [02:13] 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] 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] feyd: ok. how do i check? [02:15] excellent question [02:15] lemme find out [02:15] open up a terminal and type lspci [02:15] then hit enter [02:17] intel corporation mobile express graphics controller [02:18] ah [02:19] yeah. it's a piece of crap dell, and was low-end even when i bought it in '06 hahaha [02:20] 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] lemme see what I can find out [02:20] really appreciate it [02:25] 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] cool. i just came across a post on the ubuntu forums that may be helpful. we'll see [02:29] 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] DarkEra: ok, I didn't know. [02:31] ok thanks. i think this may be my answer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=368009 [02:32] johnnybs: that does look good, I was looking in the wrong place. best of luck to you [02:33] thanks for the assistance. [02:35] johnnybs: didn't do much, but you're welcome [02:35] johnnybs: its likely related to drivers, so if what youre doing doesnt work out, keep on that [02:35] johnnybs: theres some restricted drivers in the repositories that may prove help, and fallback drivers too [02:36] wouldn't have looked into drivers otherwise. i was just googling "grey screen ubuntu" hahaha [02:36] cool. i'm hoping this one works out... [02:36] helo === wolfy is now known as Guest50649 [02:37] i run in terminal '' compiz replace '' but now I do not have X and minimize on windwos [02:38] how can be restored? [03:50] will vim-gnome work in xubuntu and if not does anyone know of an alternative? [03:50] yes, it will. [03:51] excellent, is that a general thing? [03:52] yes [03:53] cool, are they both based on X? is that why? [03:59] 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] and thunderbird as default is the right move. [04:22] desperately seeking help on startup problems with xfce4-panel, pulse audio, and compiz [04:26] so many idles :( [06:36] #freenode Can someone help #android deal with an abusive user: chachin [06:37] q_a_z_steve: wrong channel, I think [06:38] he's done it in half a dozen simultaneously [06:39] wrong command then [06:45] sorry, misunderstood what /amsg would do, won't happen again. All my channels are blue about it. [11:44] Hello! [11:58] I just installed 11.04 and can't figure out how to change mouse sensitivity. Any hints? [11:59] Menu>Settings>Settings Manager>Mouse [12:00] drc: It seems I can only set acceleration and threshold thereof with that. [12:01] I don't want any acceleration so I set that to the minimum. Now I want less sensitivity as well. [12:02] 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] That seems to be for touchpads only but it's still an interesting direction of inquiry. Thanks. [12:05] 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] Okay, setting it in the xorg.conf.d directory works. \o/ [12:25] drc: Thanks! [12:27] Yeah, that was going to be my next suggestion :) [12:28] Wasn't that your last suggestion as well? O_o [12:29] Now that I'm half way thru my first cup of tea, I can actually think...almost. [12:48] 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] Man all this subpixel rendering, smoothing, antialiasing and hinting is driving me crazy. [12:56] All I want is for things to look nice. :) [12:59] Mine does :) [13:00] Mine does now. Must have been some sort of glitch. [13:01] One man's nice is another man's glitch [13:01] lol [13:02] hrhr [13:03] I suppose it must strongly depend on how well you see. :) [13:04] 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] And your eyes, yes. [13:04] Mine are old and tired. [13:05] 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] Hm. I have an external monitor on my notebook. It looks good on the notebook but bad on the external. :) [13:06] cYmen: See, I was right :) [13:06] Please tell my wife! [13:07] drc's wife: he was right! [13:08] 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] mbn_18: I have no knowledge of how to do that, but have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization ? [13:14] drc: thanks, will check [13:15] mbn_18: Still having trouble with the English-Hebrew thing? [13:16] Yep, I wonder if 'Input method switcher' is related [13:16] and there is also 'keyboard input methods' [13:17] 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 :) === gnap_ is now known as gnap [14:48] Is it possible to remove the title bar from terminal windows? [14:50] always or just when you need it? [14:52] there's tap in settings, "show borders for new windows", you could try that [15:04] Sysi: Where do I find that? [15:05] cYmen: Terminal Preferences>Opening New Windows [15:07] er... Terminal Preferences>Appearence>Opening.... [15:09] ah..I'm using xterm. :) [15:09] But I suppose I could give this terminal a try... [19:05] 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] mmm [19:07] it still black= [19:08] it is still black?* [19:08] can't you place the cd again and see if it restarts? [19:08] are you sure it ended the installation? including grub? [19:09] hang on... [19:10] i put the cd back on and it's still at 95%. it's been at that amount for 15 minutes. [19:10] what's grub? [19:11] sorry...i'm a bit new to debian-based linux installations. :-( [19:12] grub is the boot manager [19:12] Thank you. [19:13] whitout it the system wont boot [19:13] Only one window is up and it's titled "installing system.." i downloaded the iso image and burned it to cd. [19:13] xubuntu-installe, it might be at 95% because its downloading stuff frem the internet [19:13] no internet connection. [19:13] oh [19:16] should i just start the installation from step one? [19:16] that's what i'm thinking i should do... [19:17] sure you could try [19:18] thank you for your help. man--it's hot and humid out here (chicago) [19:18] XD [19:18] here is cold and humid (buenos aires) [19:18] estas latino? [19:18] su ingles es muy bien!!! [19:22] i can't even translate "estas latino" to english XD [19:26] Soupermanito: That's easy...it tanslates to: Soupermanito is going to send drc a sixpack of Cervecería y Maltería Quilmes :) [19:27] XD [19:28] off to the hospital again...back later [19:28] :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] :D good luck drc === magic_ninja is now known as sparkie === Soupermanito is now known as Souperior === Souperior is now known as Souperman === Souperman is now known as Soupermanito [21:22] Hello [21:22] My system froze up earlier today [21:22] and now the swap isn't mounted at boot even if /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is still in /etc/fstab [21:24] mmm [21:24] cant you swapon? [21:26] may I still refer to "swapon /dev/sdb3" as it was during the installation? [21:26] or will I have to take into account the /dev/mapper/cryptswap1? [21:28] sudo swapon /dev/sdb3 -> swapon: /dev/sdb3: stat failed: No such file or directory [21:30] how do I perform a check on the partition? [21:36] How can I repair or check the swap partition [21:37] sorry [21:37] i dont know [21:38] smarter people might [21:58] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/790898 [21:58] Ubuntu bug 790898 in thunar (Ubuntu) "Thunar lags and prompts error on first opening" [Undecided,New] [21:58] oh [21:58] um, we are talking about you in the other channel === Soupermanito is now known as GridCube [22:14] I've edited /etc/crypttab to reflect /dev/sdc3 [22:15] 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] have you tried seen if gparted says something about that partition? [22:16] you could reformat it? [22:16] got it [22:16] the correct format was sudo cryptdisks_start cryptswap1 [22:16] :) [22:17] I ran the testdisk utility to "locate" the sdc3 partition [22:17] Feels good, man [22:18] I think I'll reward myself with some cola [22:29] :D [23:54] ok so just installed xubuntu the other day: why are non of my apt-packages authenticated? [23:54] WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! [23:54] libncurses5-dev libreadline5-dev [23:54] Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y [23:55] sounds like the key is missing [23:55] hey charlie-tca (thanks for helping me last night) where do I get the public key? [23:55] Have you run sudo apt-get update? [23:55] let me try [23:56] 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] How can I enable restarting the X server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace? [23:58] I don't know. I use Alt+printscrn+k [23:58] it works [23:58] !control [23:58] !controls [23:58] Starting in Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.
