| hardsalami | My videocard died, and after switching to my motherboard's on board video my display is extremely off and I can't seem to adjust it using settings -> display, is there something I'm missing? | 02:57 |
|---|---|---|
| Jaded | Hi | 03:03 |
| Jaded | anyone out there? | 03:04 |
| charlie-tca | hardsalami: usually that is a button on the monitor to auto-focus it, but it has to be pushed for each change of OS made | 03:07 |
| charlie-tca | Jaded: If you need help, please ask your question all on one line and a volunteer will attempt to answer if they know. | 03:07 |
| hardsalami | charlie-tca, it's not that exactly, in settings->display, there isn't an option to set it to my monitors resolution | 03:08 |
| charlie-tca | Did you try installing a hardware driver in Settings -> System -> Additional Drivers? | 03:09 |
| hardsalami | Additional Drivers says that there are no proprietary drivers in use on the system, and there are no other options | 03:11 |
| Jaded | I'm just trying to make my duron 1ghz as snappy as possible, and it seems to be sluggish even on XFCE :( | 03:12 |
| Jaded | 512ram | 03:12 |
| Jaded | the only way i was able to make it snappy was to install flushbox :( | 03:14 |
| charlie-tca | Jaded: hm, that might be what you have to do then | 03:15 |
| hardsalami | Install Arch | 03:15 |
| charlie-tca | What about Lubuntu? | 03:15 |
| Jaded | but what about something inbetween? | 03:15 |
| DarkEra | bet it isn't 512 MB RAM, there could be a shared memory for the use of the videocard | 03:15 |
| Jaded | I'm using a geforce 5200 FX - 128MB | 03:16 |
| charlie-tca | hardsalami: we don' t really recommend Arch here, we try to keep it simple as possible | 03:16 |
| charlie-tca | Jaded: Lubuntu is lighter than Xubuntu, but keeps it in the family | 03:16 |
| hardsalami | He asked for snappiness, not simplicity :P | 03:16 |
| charlie-tca | !lubuntu | 03:16 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 03:16 |
| charlie-tca | It does use fewer resources than Xubuntu, so it is snappier on old hardware | 03:17 |
| Jaded | i've already tested LXDE | 03:22 |
| charlie-tca | Is this a fresh Xubuntu installation, or Ubuntu, then Xubuntu? | 03:23 |
| Jaded | fresh xubuntu install, then tried about 5 different windows managers, that could switch between at the login screen | 03:26 |
| charlie-tca | I am out of ideas then | 03:26 |
| Jaded | k thanks anyway | 03:29 |

| jarnos | How do you control parking of hard disk in Xubuntu? | 06:51 |
| jarnos | I think my disk parks too much. | 06:51 |
| jarnos | I have not marked "spin down hard disks" in Xfce4 power manager preferences. | 06:53 |
| cloud_ | Is it possible to disable/remove xfce4-notifyd without removing the whole xfce4-desktop packages? | 09:52 |
| aljona | Hi, I installed Veetle and now when i rebooted my machine i can not login to xfce. When i log in from the terminal i get the message "You do not own that encrypted directory". So clearly Veetle has messed something up. Does anybody know a solution to this? | 11:00 |
| ashmew2 | Hoi , I have a desktop lying around running Windows XP , i want to install Xubuntu on it but the problem is that it has a broken CD Rom and an old BIOS in which i cant figure out how to boot using a pen drive. I also have a laptop currently running Ubuntu 11.04. So is there any way i could install Xubuntu on my Desktop machine ?Like boot ISO from the hard disk or using the laptop to force boot the desktop ? Thanks. | 11:20 |
| Sysi | you could install it to hdd of the desktop on the laptop, but you'd need some adapter for doing that | 11:24 |
| ashmew2 | Sysi what do you mean ? Copy the contents of the .iso or the iso itself ? | 11:24 |
| ashmew2 | oh no, you mean attach HD of the desktop to the laptop and boot it using that and install it and put it back in the Desktop | 11:25 |
| Sysi | no, boot the installer on the laptop and select other hdd as installation media | 11:25 |
| Sysi | yup | 11:25 |
| ashmew2 | Couldnt it be more clean ? | 11:25 |
| Sysi | pxeboot would propably work, if you can set it up | 11:26 |
| Sysi | !pxe | 11:26 |
| Sysi | no :( | 11:26 |
| Sysi | http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/ubuntu_pxe.html | 11:28 |
| Sysi | check URLs on wget-lines to match ubuntu version you want to install | 11:28 |
| ashmew2 | ok ill give it a try | 11:28 |
| ashmew2 | Thanks | 11:28 |
| cloud_ | how could I know which packages out of xubuntu-desktop _require_ xfce4-notifyd? (I want to remove it, but I don't want to remove the whole xubuntu-desktop) | 12:45 |
| tobago | is there an issue known for Xubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron) when connecting the pc on a hdmi display (pc: hdmi out; display HDMI in)? | 12:51 |
| tobago | on my xubuntu 8.04 the letters of the windows are tiny. | 12:52 |
| elros | tobago: I'm using oneiric but see if this helps: you can adjust the size and type of your font to deal with the situation | 13:07 |
| elros | go to settings > settings manager > appearance > fonts | 13:07 |
| Sysi | tobago: you should start preparing to upgrade to current LTS 10.04, but meanwhile, set fonts to be bigger | 13:07 |
| elros | then set the Default font from Sans 10 to what you like | 13:08 |
| Sysi | !hardy | 13:08 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. | 13:08 |
| elros | !lts | 13:08 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 13:08 |
| elros | !oneiric | 13:08 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 13:09 |
| Sysi | !investigation | 13:09 |
| ubottu | Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 13:09 |
| elros | so I should use private messages with ubottu? | 13:09 |
| tobago | Sysi: unfortunately the machine includes an intel gma500 graphiccard which is supported only til hardy heron. that is why i stick on that release. | 13:10 |
| tobago | Sysi: to me the issue more depend on the interface used for the display. the same settings using HDMI-->DVI works fine, but using HDMI-->HDMI there is the issue with resolution. | 13:14 |
| elros | have you looked at mepis antix? | 13:16 |
| plantoschka | anyone can tell me where i have to put a new xfce theme in xubuntu 11.04 ? /usr/share/themes ? | 13:18 |
| plantoschka | ok it was /usr/share/themes :-D figured it out by myself | 13:21 |
| tobago | elros: no. i hear the first time of it. but it guess the current release won't support my graphic card (intel gma500). | 13:21 |
| elros | right | 13:21 |
| tobago | elros: and the issue i got with xfce is the only problem. | 13:24 |
| elros | https://launchpad.net/~gma500/+archive/ppa | 13:27 |
| Sysi | plantoschka: ~/.themes works too | 13:27 |
| plantoschka | ok thanks Sysi | 13:30 |
| elros | tobago: if that PPA works for you, you could upgrade to lucid | 13:31 |
| tobago | elros: poulsbo is not working since hardy heron. | 13:32 |
| Sysi | (i didn't know it *has* worked) but hardy is EOL on desktop :| | 13:34 |
| tobago | Sysi: that's a pity. so i have to migrate to gnome (ubuntu). | 13:37 |
| Sysi | it's desktop too | 13:41 |
| Sysi | (luckily it still gets some security updates, but still) | 13:41 |
| tobago | Sysi: mmh. which linux still supports gma500? | 14:03 |
| Sysi | debian stable or oldstable should have about same kernel as hardy | 14:06 |
| tobago | Sysi: i'm a linux newbee. is it possible to install lucid lynx, install an older kernel (say 2.6.28-11), lock that kernel in grub/menu.lst and install the poulsbo stuff? will it work? inspired by: http://www.bgevolution.com/blog/intel-gma-500-windows-and-linux-drivers/ | 14:24 |
| elros | debian lenny has 2.6.26, hardy has 2.6.24 | 14:34 |
| tobago | elros: what do you mean by introducing debian lenny? | 14:52 |
| plantoschka | anyone know the name of the audiosettings application? | 15:34 |
| plantoschka | my xubuntu seems to have lost it :( | 15:36 |
| charlie-tca | xfce4-mixer? | 15:36 |
| plantoschka | when i clicked on the audio-indicator and audio-settings at the bottom it startet some nice configuration. now it only brings up the controlcenter | 15:37 |
| plantoschka | no it's not xfce4-mixer | 15:38 |
| charlie-tca | sounds like you had gnome-mixer in there, maybe | 15:38 |
| plantoschka | hm no gnome-mixer found | 15:43 |
| plantoschka | sometimes my sound gets really messed up.. pretty weird.. | 15:48 |
| plantoschka | sounds like 8bit :-D | 15:48 |
| charlie-tca | try installing pavucontrol, it might be what you are looking for | 15:49 |
| mosmo | Hello! I'm using Xubuntu for a homeserver, and I'd like to disable the automatic startup of XFCE | 15:54 |
| mosmo | How can I do that? | 15:54 |
| plantoschka | thanks charlie-tca that really looks fine | 15:54 |
| plantoschka | think it's wine or chrome that sometimes messes my sound up ;) next time i figure it out | 15:56 |
| LemonyZ | hello | 16:10 |
| paradgm | morning, evening all depending on where you are located | 16:23 |
| paradgm | i am booted into my Windows 7 box, ugh I know, but I keep it around for times like these | 16:23 |
| plantoschka | hi paradgm | 16:23 |
| paradgm | whenever i login to my account through the Xubuntu start screen, it logs me in, then kicks me right back to the login screen | 16:23 |
| paradgm | is there a corrupt file causing this to occur? | 16:24 |
| charlie-tca | yes, there is | 16:24 |
| charlie-tca | You can try the following, but it will remove some of your settings | 16:25 |
| paradgm | oh excellent. what is the fix that I can try? | 16:25 |
| charlie-tca | Switch to a TTY using Ctrl+Alt+F2, login there. Remove the theme as follows: | 16:25 |
| paradgm | thats fine | 16:25 |
| charlie-tca | rm -r ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml | 16:25 |
| charlie-tca | rm -r ~/.cache | 16:25 |
| charlie-tca | shutdown -r now (which will reboot the system) | 16:25 |
| charlie-tca | When the login screen comes back, you will be able to login. The cause of this issue is Window Manager, Wildbush theme. | 16:26 |
| paradgm | thanks man... ill be back with the report | 16:26 |
| paradgm | hmm that idd not work correctly | 16:38 |
| paradgm | there was no .config directly | 16:38 |
| paradgm | i was able to remove the .cache folder | 16:38 |
| paradgm | think reinstalling xubuntu would resolve the issue? | 16:43 |
| Sysi | if you've ever used that xubuntu, you should have ~/.config/ | 16:43 |
| Sysi | you can try rm -rf ~/.ICEauthority too | 16:44 |
| charlie-tca | That' s the one I forget | 16:44 |
| charlie-tca | reinstalling would only solve the issue if you reformat /home | 16:44 |
| paradgm | only . files i have is Access-Your-Private.Data.desktop | 16:45 |
| paradgm | .ecryptfss | 16:45 |
| paradgm | .gnome | 16:45 |
| paradgm | and .Private | 16:45 |
| paradgm | ,cache was there but was removed | 16:45 |
| paradgm | this was a reinstall of xubuntu.. do you think i should wipe it again? I have nothing ofuse on heree thought i need to save my win7 partition | 16:46 |
| charlie-tca | You should be able to decrypt /home and remove the files | 16:50 |
| paradgm | not sure how to do this | 16:51 |
| charlie-tca | take a look at | 16:53 |
| charlie-tca | http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html | 16:53 |
| plantoschka | should i try ubuntu oneiric separate or can i install the ubuntu-desktop package in xubuntu oneiric? ;) | 17:14 |
| plantoschka | just want to see what they do with unity | 17:14 |
| Sysi | just install the desktop package | 17:16 |
| draioch | hi is there any way to see file sizes in the xubuntu file manager or do i need a different file manager | 17:17 |
| charlie-tca | draioch: view -> detail view | 17:18 |
| draioch | thx charlie-tca already tried that all folders show size of 32kb? | 17:20 |
| charlie-tca | folder sizes are found by looking at properties in thunar | 17:20 |
| draioch | yea thx but would like to see them in a file manager if possible (windows does the same) | 17:22 |
| draioch | so guess ill have to find another file manager u dont know one by chance that has that functionality | 17:23 |
| charlie-tca | um, no, can't say I do. I have used Thunar for about 5 years | 17:30 |
| plantoschka | what do u use charlie-tca ? | 17:47 |
| plantoschka | fileroller? | 17:47 |
| charlie-tca | for? | 17:47 |
| plantoschka | my mystake.. | 17:48 |
| plantoschka | i've read: i don't have used thunar for about 5 years :-D | 17:48 |
| charlie-tca | Oh, heh :) | 17:48 |

| cr0wb4r | Does anyone have experience getting a mac to boot xubuntu off of a external HDD? | 22:56 |
| cr0wb4r | My main HDD died and I would like to use xubuntu via a external hard drive. | 22:57 |
| cr0wb4r | It is already installed to the external hard drive it just won't recognize the it in the boot menu. | 22:58 |
| cr0wb4r | Perhaps I should take my question to ubuntu? | 23:03 |
| GridCube | D: | 23:18 |
| GridCube | something really bad happened | 23:18 |
| GridCube | im afraid of closing my session to see if stuff gets fixed before knowing how stuff broke | 23:19 |
| charlie-tca | cr0wb4r: there is a channel for macs, maybe they will be more helpful - #ubuntu-powerpc | 23:19 |
| GridCube | all the suddend i tried to scrot and scrot said it couldnt save the png into the folder | 23:20 |
| GridCube | and then firefox failed to recognize my [Enter] key | 23:20 |
| GridCube | and then all the folders of marked pages went empty | 23:20 |
| GridCube | and thunar doesnt work | 23:20 |
| GridCube | and when it does it shows all the folders on my home partition whit a lock | 23:21 |

| GridCube | my main system | 23:22 |
| GridCube | i was doing the test install | 23:22 |
| charlie-tca | Try the caps-lock and num-lock keys, see if the lights blink at all | 23:22 |
| GridCube | yes they do | 23:22 |
| charlie-tca | You are running natty or oneiric? | 23:22 |
| GridCube | no | 23:22 |

| GridCube | i mean they blink when i activate them, not all the time | 23:23 |

| cr0wb4r | charlie-tca, thank you but I am on an intel mac not a powerpc. | 23:23 |

| GridCube | ok | 23:24 |

| charlie-tca | Maybe they would know how to make that external drive work? | 23:24 |
| cr0wb4r | Ok, I guess I will go ask there then. | 23:24 |
| GridCube | ok, will try to reboot now | 23:25 |
| charlie-tca | cr0wb4r: no guarantees with them, but I didn' t see anyone here jump up with a response | 23:26 |
