[02:33] <Lyca> im trying to update xubuntu but it still says "waiting" after 20 minutes, what gives?
[07:04] <JoeR1> Hello folks, Gnome 2 still supported custom login themes correct?
[07:14] <covidiu> Hello. Does anyone have problems with Xorg after the latest updates? Mine climbs to about 30% CPU every 8 seconds or so, and the screen flashes twice. Then it goes back to normal. The computer freezes while this happens. I have a GeForce 9400 GT. :(
[08:13] <Sysi> covidiu: what driver are you using?
[08:13] <covidiu> nouveau
[08:13] <covidiu> But it's actually starting to look more like a hardware problem.
[08:14] <covidiu> I booted from an older USB drive and I have the same problem.
[10:17] <grifo74> hello it´s possible update bios in xubuntu , exist software?
[10:24] <Sysi> grifo74: depends about bios, everything else than acer should be updatable outside OS
[10:26] <grifo74> i have a acer
[10:26] <Sysi> too bad, only possible with windows then
[10:27] <grifo74> lool
[10:28] <grifo74> isn´t importantat, windows no.
[10:53] <paul_uk> hey all, i've got a set of usb headphones.  im having trouble getting ubuntu to use them as the default device.  how do i do that?
[11:00] <paul_uk> I've noticed I don't have Settings -> Settings Manager -> Sound <--
[11:00] <paul_uk> Or maybe it's been moved.  I'm looking at docs from 2008 and 2009 sigh
[11:10] <paul_uk> anyone?
[11:19] <paul_uk> sorted, had to install PulseAudio Device Chooser utility from Synaptic and choose the device.  except now controls on the headphones don't work :(
[20:00] <Arthur_D> when resuming my computer from hibernation, I get trouble with gaming performance. If I do a reboot, it works perfectly fine. Any clue on where to search for such bugs, or report a new one?
[20:00] <Sysi> what graphics card?
[20:01] <Arthur_D> NVIDIA Geforce 250 GTS
[20:01] <Arthur_D> I've tried several other distros, and all appear to have the same problem
[20:01] <Sysi> you propably have nvidia-driver and nouveau both loaded, there might is bug about this
[20:02] <Arthur_D> ok, so I should try uninstalling the nouveau driver?
[20:04] <Sysi> add 'options nouveau modeset=0' to /etc/modprobe.d/something.conf
[20:04] <Sysi> for a start, reboot and see if that still happens
[20:04] <Arthur_D> thanks a lot, will try that :)
[20:19] <Arthur_D> Sysi, it seems to have helped somewhat, but still, framerates can drop from 60 to 10 in an instant, for a few seconds
[20:20] <Sysi> what xubuntu version?
[20:20] <Arthur_D> 11.04
[20:21] <Arthur_D> should I turn off compositing?
[20:21] <Sysi> you can try
[20:22] <Arthur_D> xubuntu doesn't use compiz, right?
[20:22] <charlie-tca> right, but it does have it xfwm compositing built in
[20:22] <Arthur_D> apparently, compositing is already turned off
[20:24] <Sysi> what if you relogin, not reboot?
[20:25] <Arthur_D> can try that. Will just do another test first
[20:35] <Arthur_D> still no luck
[20:36] <Arthur_D> logging out and in again didn't do anything
[20:41] <Arthur_D> could it be an ACPI issue?
[23:25] <slarty> hello
[23:27] <slarty> I have reinstalled xubuntu 10.10 and am having problems with locale settings (en_NZ) and keyboard keys sometimes require two presses to register a character. This may also be the reason I can seem to log on to either gmail or yahoo as the username/password aren accepted. Any suggestions, eg articles to assist here? tx
[23:52] <lukinfore> some launchpad triagers here? charlie-tca, are you still the one of?
[23:52] <lukinfore> can you tell me what's wrong in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-plugins/+bug/672837 ?
[23:53] <charlie-tca> looking
[23:53] <lukinfore> hello
[23:55] <charlie-tca> I am not good with audio bugs, but I think they want you to try it the way Luke suggested in comment #5 and tell them the results
[23:55] <lukinfore> well
[23:56] <lukinfore> i thought i've told enough to understand - that way is works
[23:57] <lukinfore> and have no meaning in using alsa-pulse plugin
[23:57] <charlie-tca> Then you have to be specific. Those guys are the top people on audio stuff, and if they can pin it down, they will.
[23:58] <lukinfore> uhm
[23:58] <lukinfore> what do you mean - specific?
[23:59] <charlie-tca> "tested it using pulseaudio ??? and it works/fails to work"
[23:59] <charlie-tca> "Can not test it that way because ???"
