| === orngjce223 is now known as Anyone | ||
| Derpadong | Its been dead every time I come in here | 01:18 |
| Anyone | Oh, hi. | 01:18 |
| GridCube | XD | 01:18 |
| === Anyone is now known as orngjce223 | ||
| Derpadong | Lol | 01:18 |
| Derpadong | Where is the default themes file? | 01:18 |
| knome | /usr/share/themes/greybird, if you are using the latest xubuntu | 01:19 |
| orngjce223 | /usr/share/themes/ (stuff) mostly | 01:19 |
| Derpadong | Thank you. | 01:21 |
| Guest82019 | how do I play WMV files? | 01:25 |
| GridCube | install gstreamer | 01:25 |
| === Guest82019 is now known as Hurray | ||
| Hurray | just google that and install? or how? | 01:25 |
| GridCube | no use the software center | 01:26 |
| GridCube | or synaptic | 01:26 |
| knome | sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:26 |
| GridCube | you dont need google | 01:26 |
| GridCube | what knome said | 01:26 |
| Hurray | cool, Im Dling now thanks | 01:28 |
| Hurray | I'm really new to linux, why do you all use xubuntu? | 01:29 |
| knome | it's quite light, it's pretty conservative with xfce, and easily configurable | 01:29 |
| Hurray | what is xfce? | 01:30 |
| knome | xfce is the desktop environment in xubuntu | 01:30 |
| Hurray | interesting | 01:30 |
| Hurray | and do you use this as your main OS? | 01:31 |
| knome | yes, exclusively | 01:31 |
| Hurray | cool | 01:31 |
| Hurray | you ever get a virus? | 01:31 |
| knome | no, there is pretty much no viruses in linux, and even those will need you to do something sub-optimal, that is, inserting your root/sudo password in a wrong spot | 01:32 |
| Hurray | is there any way to check your system for viruses? | 01:35 |
| knome | !info clamav | 01:35 |
| ubottu | clamav (source: clamav): anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface. In component main, is optional. Version 0.97+dfsg-2ubuntu1 (natty), package size 123 kB, installed size 592 kB | 01:35 |
| Hurray | !tahnks for all the info and help | 01:36 |
| ubottu | Hurray: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:36 |
| knome | no problem, have fun with xubuntu | 01:37 |
| Hurray | hhm, when I go to a website....and clcik a wmv link/file it doesn't open, what do I do? | 01:38 |
| GridCube | it should play using the totem plugin | 01:39 |
| GridCube | you do need the restricted extras to be installed | 01:39 |
| knome | or if not, use the mozilla-mplayer package | 01:39 |
| Hurray | sudo apt-install totem? | 01:39 |
| GridCube | (as a last option you could try the vlc plugin, but i don't really know if thats a good idea) | 01:40 |
| GridCube | Hurray, totem should be already installed on your system | 01:40 |
| Hurray | so how do i make totem work? | 01:41 |
| GridCube | you just need to end installing the restricted extras as knome said to you earlier | 01:41 |
| GridCube | open a termina and write: | 01:41 |
| GridCube | sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:41 |
| GridCube | then put your password | 01:42 |
| Hurray | I did that | 01:42 |
| Hurray | installed it | 01:42 |
| Hurray | agreed to EULA | 01:42 |
| Hurray | hmm this is the last thing in terminal | 01:43 |
| Hurray | Setting up icedtea6-plugin (6b21.1~20110420-0ubuntu1.1) ... | 01:43 |
| Hurray | Processing triggers for libc-bin ... | 01:43 |
| Hurray | ldconfig deferred processing now taking place | 01:43 |
| knome | Hurray, did you try restarting your browser? | 01:43 |
| Hurray | yes | 01:45 |
| Hurray | should i try gstreamer? | 01:48 |
| Hurray | hmm looks like its already installed | 01:49 |
| knome | yeah, it should work. | 01:51 |
| knome | which browser are you using? | 01:52 |
| Hurray | firfox | 01:52 |
| knome | i'm out of ideas for now and it's also already 5am... :) | 01:53 |
| Hurray | thx | 01:54 |
| Hurray | peace | 01:54 |
| knome | if you hang out long enough, i'm sure someone who can help you will come online | 01:55 |
| knome | good luck and have fun | 01:56 |

| Derpadong | How do you add a theme to xfce and use it? | 03:10 |
| orngjce223 | You download the theme folder and stick it in /usr/share/themes | 03:20 |
| Derpadong | and then? | 03:23 |
| orngjce223 | Then it shows up in Appearance properties and you can add it | 03:24 |
| orngjce223 | the theme has to be properly formed of course | 03:24 |
| orngjce223 | But it works | 03:24 |
| David-A | orngjce223: alternatively you can place the theme folder in /home/[username]/.themes/ (does not require sysprivileges and remains after a reinstall) | 03:29 |
| orngjce223 | Ah | 03:30 |
| orngjce223 | 's cool | 03:30 |
| orngjce223 | That's where I put it when I didn't have /home/[username] to work with though | 03:30 |
| David-A | * orngjce223, i mean Derpadong | 03:30 |
| orngjce223 | (which is, making a Remastersys-based distro via /etc/skel) | 03:30 |
| orngjce223 | Heh | 03:31 |
| orngjce223 | 's fine | 03:31 |
| Derpadong | So which one will show it in themes? | 03:33 |
| David-A | orngjce223: ok, thats just different ways of maintaining a config over reinstalls. I tend to do have as much adaptions as possible in /home, and let the system be as much distro default as possiple (plus installed packages). | 03:35 |
| orngjce223 | Mmhm | 03:35 |
| orngjce223 | Derpadong, either will work | 03:35 |
| orngjce223 | .themes is if you back up /home, scattering your own files across the filesystem is rather less maintainable but I do it. | 03:36 |

| JumbiShrimp | Anyone any good at configuring display drivers in xubuntu? | 03:48 |
| David-A | Used to be, not any more, but shot, whats the problem? | 03:51 |
| David-A | !ask | 03:51 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 03:51 |
| JumbiShrimp | I have a Dell inspiron 2600 laptop.. 128 meg of ram and i'm trying to run a low resource intensive GUI. But I cannot get it to display video.. I have tried following instructions that deal with the I810 chipset | 03:53 |
| David-A | JumbiShrimp: When playing video, do you get a blank window, or an error message? Sound? What instructions did you use? (Web-address?) | 04:00 |
| JumbiShrimp | David: It will just give me a white screen with no output.. Audio works but i cannot see what i'm doing... http://life-of-brian.com/2009/12/installing-ubuntu-linux-on-a-dell-inspiron-2600/ | 04:03 |
| David-A | Will you get a consol (full screen terminal) if you press Control+Alt+F1? From there you can login and look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log if X had trouble initiating? Especially when loading driver "i810" or "intel". (Just a hunch, I dont really know what the problem is) | 04:12 |
| JumbiShrimp | Well it ends in "Fatal server error: no screens found" | 04:20 |
| David-A | JumbiShrimp: can you find the log lines where it loads drivers (intel or i810) if a driver is missing? | 04:23 |
| JumbiShrimp | This is what i found "(II) LoadModule: "intel" | 04:29 |
| JumbiShrimp | (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so | 04:29 |
| JumbiShrimp | dlopen: libpciaccess.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 04:29 |
| JumbiShrimp | (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so | 04:29 |
| JumbiShrimp | (II) UnloadModule: "intel" | 04:29 |
| JumbiShrimp | " | 04:29 |
| David-A | for xubuntu 10.04 "intel_drv.so" is in package "xserver-xorg-video-intel", have you installed that package? | 04:34 |
| JumbiShrimp | Let me download that | 04:36 |
| David-A | JumbiShrimp: download? no, install! (you know apt-get, synaptic, or software center) | 04:38 |
| JumbiShrimp | sorry thats what i meant | 04:39 |
| David-A | David-A: good :) i'm a bit jumpy, will soon go to sleep | 04:41 |
| David-A | and talking to my self | 04:41 |
| David-A | again | 04:41 |
| JumbiShrimp | lol, well it seems that it has made no differance.. same problem same thing in the log file | 04:46 |
| JumbiShrimp | Thanks for all the help.. I must be off to bed | 04:52 |

| ushills | hi how can I change the screesaver that xubuntu uses, I've installed gnome-screensaver but can't see how to activate it | 09:07 |
| ushills | anyone? | 09:34 |
| carcinogen75 | you must not use gnome utils if you using XFCE | 09:39 |
| carcinogen75 | go to XFCE control panel. there is a screensaver icon | 09:39 |
| carcinogen75 | use it to configure | 09:40 |
| knome | gone already | 09:41 |
| carcinogen75 | ouh =( | 09:41 |

| tdignan | So in the regular ubuntu distro, a utility is included that allows you to exceed 100% volume with pulseaudio (increasing the amplitude) | 17:11 |
| tdignan | but I cannot find that tool in xubuntu.. I don't really care whether I have it, but I need to amplify the volume, it's way too quiet | 17:11 |
| tdignan | how can I adjust the pulseaudio master above 100%? | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | That tool could be installed, but have to find out the name and install it yourself. | 17:14 |
| charlie-tca | I do not know what it is. | 17:14 |
| tdignan | yeah, I know how to install packages :( my problem is the same as yours. | 17:15 |
| tdignan | No idea what it's called. | 17:15 |
| charlie-tca | Try pavucontrol, but I don't think that is the same tool | 17:15 |
| tdignan | yeah, I am installing it | 17:16 |
| tdignan | thanks man. | 17:16 |
| tdignan | won't let me exceed 100%... | 17:17 |
| tdignan | hmm | 17:17 |
| GridCube | tdignan: try the gnome sound thing | 17:35 |
| tdignan | GridCube: what is it called? | 17:56 |
| tdignan | I don't want to pull in all of gnome. | 17:56 |
| tdignan | That's why I'm using xubuntu :/ | 17:56 |
| tdignan | I don't like unity ,or gnome 3. | 17:57 |
| GridCube | no its the gnome sound configuration | 17:57 |
| tdignan | well, except for on my netbook ;) | 17:57 |
| GridCube | i can't recall its name :( | 17:57 |
| tdignan | i'll check on my netbook later. | 17:57 |
| orngjce223 | The way I would solve that problem is by installing a software amp and then using JACK to send everything through it, but /that/ is not a solution since it requires extensive configuration and real-time kernel. | 17:58 |
| tdignan | i think i'm going to buy some better headphones/speakers ;) | 17:58 |
| tdignan | cross-platform solution | 17:58 |
| orngjce223 | Hehe | 17:58 |
| orngjce223 | Yes, or a hardware amp | 17:59 |
| orngjce223 | But again, not a solution since I work with "semi pro" audio and you probably won't | 17:59 |
| GridCube | tdignan: try gnome-volume-control | 18:00 |

| philipballew | whats the package i need to uninstall to have my desktop boot into the cli and i login that way and type startx for xface to go to town | 21:30 |
| charlie-tca | um, probably lightdm | 21:34 |
| charlie-tca | or gdm | 21:34 |
| philipballew | alright. seemes easy enough | 21:36 |
| charlie-tca | good luck with startx, usually with Xfce, you want to use startxfce4 to get all the pieces starting | 21:37 |
| philipballew | oh, i can type that. haha | 21:44 |
| charlie-tca | anything, yup | 22:42 |
