[01:33] alright, the problem seems to have been with unetbootin. it's installing just fine right now. thanks for steering me in the right direction, madnick. :) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === Unit193_ is now known as Unit193 [03:37] I'm getting freezes in video [03:37] Like when I play videogames, the screen will freeze for 5-10 seconds [03:37] Any clue what's wrong? [04:20] Nope. [04:20] ...Oh hi tiktalik fancy seeing you here [04:31] ...Oh hi orngjce223, didn't see you in the userlist. Somebody in ubuntu attempted to help me, though. [04:31] Oh, cool. [04:32] Also Geekthras idles in #opensourcemusicians so meh === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:33] tiktalik: Wondering, what video card do you have? (Old?) [04:33] Unit193, I'm waiting for a possible fix to finish downloading. === gpc is now known as IdleOne === moxyr|zzz is now known as moxyr === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [12:35] knome: sorry about the awaynick. Didn't know it was prefered to avoid [12:35] aatk: remember the 10 sec. delay between grub and init [12:36] if I add a echo statement at the end of the grub command list [12:36] then the delay is almost completely gone [12:36] how can a echo statement have such an influence? [12:37] * moxyr doesn't like that behavior... [13:15] hi guys, what knowledge should I possess to participate in xubuntu development, languages I current know includes, c/cpp,java [13:18] hey moxyr, that's weird, has anything else changed? [13:19] thauriswulfa: have you read through www.xubuntu.org/devel ? or asked in #xubuntu-devel ? [13:20] asked in #xubuntu-devel still wating for answer [13:26] aatk: nope nothing else changed. With the echo ofcourse I get an echo message on screen, but nothing else changed [13:26] that's odd [13:28] I'm also noticing when I have added the echo and when I don't have the delay [13:29] shutting down and reboot works as normal [13:30] with the delay I get thown back at login screen [13:31] but this is a known bug with xfce: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/711571 [13:31] Ubuntu bug 711571 in xfdesktop4 (Ubuntu Natty) "xfdesktop4 crashes on exit with xorg-server 1.10" [Low,Triaged] [13:34] But how the delay is related to the given bug is a complete mystery to me [14:28] hey anyone around [14:29] i could use some help with monitor stuff [14:33] ryan_: you need to describe your problem [14:33] ryan_: if anyone knows the solution, they will answer [14:33] yeah [14:33] i got two monitors [14:33] and want one desktop [14:34] but it just shows the same desktop on two monitors [14:34] not sure how to fix it [14:34] does your graphic card support xrandr? [14:34] no clue, where would i look that up? [14:35] open a terminal and type 'xrandr' [14:35] if it displays a bunch of information about your modes and such, then it is supported [14:35] ye it does [14:35] do i need to go into xorg.conf? [14:36] ive been googling it but the solutions dont seem consistent to what i see in xorg.conf [14:36] so i dont want to break something [14:36] you can do it all with xrandr [14:36] !xrandr [14:36] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [14:37] ryan_: start with point II [14:37] ok [14:41] hi all [14:42] !hi [14:42] Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! [14:44] im sorry sheep guy maybe im stupid or something but i cant find where it tells you how to unify your desktop accross monitors [14:46] ryan_: you make a virtual screen and then make different displays show different parts of the screen [14:47] ryan_: point II.5. [14:55] yeah [14:55] whats the chmod number if you want to make a file read and writeable [14:55] its like 777 or something idk thats what it was on solaris [14:55] its so i can modify xorg.conf the way they said [14:55] thanks btw [15:04] hello? [15:05] 644 is rw-r--r-- [15:06] so chmod rw-r--r-- ? [15:06] chmod 644 file-name [15:07] ah [15:07] this will make the file read and writeable by owner, readable by group and readable by anyone [15:07] if you want read and write for everyone it's just 'chmod a+rw filename' [15:08] which i guess is 666 if you really want the numbers [15:09] doesn't chmod a+rw reserve the execution setting, while 666 removes execution? [15:11] Hmm, probably [15:18] its ok i got that part to work [15:18] but i still cant get it to listen to me after modifying xorg.conf like the manual the sheep gave me said to [15:18] not sure what i am doing wrong, i just wanted a continous desktop on two screens so i can look at two things at once on seperate sides [15:19] have you restarted X? [15:19] how do i do such a thing [15:19] sorry im new to a lot of this [15:19] :P [15:20] or do i just reboot [15:20] might as well reboot [15:20] kk [15:20] brb [15:21] I hope he hasn't killed X when he turns it back on :/ I thought there was some nice easy way of setting up dual monitors these days? [15:22] I always do it with nvidia-settings. Just point and click to choose your setup... [15:23] Moment of truth... [15:23] keeps giving me the same thing [15:23] not sure what i didnt do [15:24] i went into xorg.conf as root modified it the way the thing said and then tried to run the command and it keeps telling me xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1440x1440 (desired size 2880x900) [15:24] Is there not just a box you can tick the display settings thing? [15:25] what [15:25] if there is i dont know where it is this is what i was told to do to make it so both my monitors function as one desktop not one desktop on 2 monitors [15:26] I'm not at my computer so I can't check right now [15:27] I think it's like Menu>Settings>Display Settings [15:27] Or Menu>System>Display [15:38] well that didnt work either :( [15:38] goddamn it [15:42] Hi @ all [15:42] !hi [15:42] Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! [15:42] anyone modified xorg.conf before [15:42] great :) [15:43] has anyone [15:43] ? [15:43] ryan_: yes, but I'm not at my computer [15:43] I'm just installing and saying hi.... but I might migrate 15 pc's from a Win domain to linux so I may be back soon [15:44] sorry ryan, dual screen / project stuff all happens with nvidia-settings here... have no idea how to pull that off in xorg.conf [15:44] im running ati [15:44] would gnome work better [15:44] i used to run xubuntu on my laptop before it broke [15:45] xubuntu_noob: I hope you'll enjoy the expierence [15:45] Thanks moxyr :) I hope my users will before all...! [15:45] xubuntu_noob: great! [15:45] Yeah, it's an exciting project. [15:46] it says in the guide i was given to write virtual and the screen size and i did that but obviously not in the right spot [15:47] ryan_: you might be able to use xfconf. menu>settings>settings editor then there's a "display" option in there [15:48] I'm sure that's how I've done it before [15:49] anyway, i'm heading home, if you've not fixed it by the time I'm back I'll dig out a monitor and try it on my laptop [15:49] i did that [15:49] theres no extensions [15:49] just flipping it and stuff [15:51] oh [15:51] wait [15:51] i mean im in that [15:51] not sure what to change [15:51] i saw something that said primary that might be it [16:14] brb [17:01] any luck> [17:04] Xubuntu community meeting in #xubuntu-devel at 19:00 UTC today.

I just prefer not to do that every time I log in [19:35] oh, arandr, is that different? [19:36] GUI for xrandr [19:36] this looks like a winner [19:36] thanks! [19:37] you can put the xrandr-script to Settings → sessions and startup → autostart [19:39] perfect, thanks Sysi [21:43] hello is ubuntu netbook version running on the same kernal as the rest of *buntu distros? [21:45] xubuntu doesn't have a netbook version and the netbook version for ubuntu went away with 11.04 [21:45] *xubuntu never was the netbook version [21:46] but about every buntu use the same kernel [21:47] so the netbook version that ubuntu released didnt have a modified kernel? [21:48] no, what version you're talking about? number [21:48] problem with sound or wifi? [21:50] no i dont have any problems with a OS just wondering about the kernel, cuz ive heard that it had a modified kernel [21:51] there are ubuntu-based distroes with modified kernel images but all ubuntu officials have quite the same [21:52] ok so it was just a misunderstanding from my side then [21:53] I think I heard that rumour too, but it was some versions ago [21:54] ok well thanks for the help
