[00:47] <ElderDryas> Well, 11.10b2 (via update-manager -d) is looking nice, just a bit different in the menus.
[07:53] <cousin_luigi> hello
[07:54] <knome> hello
[07:54] <cousin_luigi> Is it possible to have a "Computer" icon on the desktop à la gnome 2.x?
[07:54] <cousin_luigi> with the volume list, that is
[07:55] <knome> cousin_luigi, i don't know how it's implemented in gnome, but see the desktop settings from settings manager (or right-click desktop and select desktop settings), in the tab "icons"
[07:57] <cousin_luigi> knome: that will make all volume icons appear directly on the desktop
[07:58] <cousin_luigi> knome: http://sitepointstatic.com/graphics/computerwindow.png <- something like this
[08:05] <knome> don't know. maybe you should add them as bookmarks in thunar, and they'd be on the sidebar.
[08:09] <cousin_luigi> knome: Thanks, I'm aware of that option, but I think I saw that icon on an xfce desktop once.
[08:10] <cousin_luigi> But maybe I'm wrong.
[08:10] <knome> maybe somebody else knows, if you stick around
[08:13] <cousin_luigi> ok
[11:36] <philippe> Hi all
[11:36] <philippe> I need some help with something
[11:37] <philippe> Have recently upgraded to xubuntu 11.04 and plugged in my 19inch monitor, but i can't get the right resolution for it
[11:37] <philippe> Stuck at 1024x768 when it's native resolution is 1280x1024
[11:37] <philippe> cant go higher than 768 in display under settings
[11:38] <philippe> Any idea?
[11:38] <well_laid_lawn> what does it say in the X log about it?
[11:38] <philippe> How would I check that?
[11:39] <philippe> I checked xrandr and it shows maximum as 768
[11:39] <well_laid_lawn> the log is /var/log/Xorg.0.log and around the middle of it it mentions the resolutions
[11:39] <madnick> have you checked for restricted drivers for your graphics card?
[11:39] <philippe> Checked that madnick None available
[11:39] <philippe> Well none turned up
[11:39] <madnick> ok just wanted to check
[11:40] <well_laid_lawn> if it's onboard  video it could be short of memory so check the virtual screen size in the log
[11:41] <philippe> am in the xorg.0.log
[11:41] <philippe> Lots of stuff in there
[11:41] <philippe> Dunno what I am looking for exactly
[11:42] <well_laid_lawn> might be easier to paste it
[11:42] <well_laid_lawn> !paste
[11:44] <philippe> ok I pasted it
[11:44] <philippe> http://paste.ubuntu.com/699679/
[11:44] <well_laid_lawn> you need to give us the url
[11:44] <well_laid_lawn> cheers
[11:45] <philippe> I have a radeon mobility 7500 (on an old t30)
[11:45] <philippe> Not sure if 16mb or 32mb
[11:45] <philippe> But i was able to get this resolution on xubuntu 10.10
[11:48] <well_laid_lawn> seems it is using the same resolutions for both the laptops screen and the monitor you plugged in
[11:49] <philippe> How do I check what driver I am using?
[11:49] <philippe> for the radeon card
[11:51] <well_laid_lawn> what do you want to check?
[11:51] <philippe> whether vesa, intel, ati or radeon is loaded
[11:52] <well_laid_lawn> line 127 in that paste says your using the radeon driver
[11:52] <philippe> ah ok
[11:53] <well_laid_lawn> try adding a modeline - http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 section III.5 near the middle of the page
[11:53] <well_laid_lawn> to get your 1280x1024
[11:55] <well_laid_lawn> test it with   $ xrandr --newmode <ModeLine>
[11:57] <philippe> I dunno what to put :S
[11:57] <philippe> xrandr --newmode 1280x1024
[11:57] <philippe> ?
[11:58] <well_laid_lawn> that web page says how to make a new modeline
[11:59] <philippe> ok
[11:59] <philippe> Thanks for the help
[11:59] <well_laid_lawn> try   gtf 1280 1024 75   with the 75 being the refresh rate if that works with your monitor
[11:59] <philippe> I try it and let you know
[11:59] <well_laid_lawn> luck
[11:59] <philippe> gtf?
[11:59] <well_laid_lawn> yep
[12:00] <well_laid_lawn> in a terminal
[12:00] <well_laid_lawn> check out   man gtf
[12:01] <philippe> It did something
[12:01] <philippe> How do I test it?
[12:01] <philippe> Think it wrote something to a file
[12:03] <philippe> I usually do this:
[12:03] <philippe> xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024
[12:03] <philippe> But says it cant find that mode :S
[12:04] <well_laid_lawn> xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00"  108.88  1280 1360 1496 1712  1024 1025 1028 1060  -HSync +Vsync   <- something like
[12:05] <philippe> ok
[12:06] <philippe> Cannot find mode :(
[12:07] <focalt> hey guys
[12:08] <focalt> after last update (today) my external usb audio card stopped beign recognized by qjackctl
[12:08] <well_laid_lawn> philippe: you have to run the gtf command yourself and get the modeline
[12:09] <focalt> and i'm unable to run din (dinisnoise.org) with a segmentation fault...I guess from the video drivers
[12:09] <focalt> what can I do to solve this?
[13:58] <jamesd256> hi
[13:58] <jamesd256> anyone awake?
[14:04] <madnick> barley ;)
[14:04] <philippe_> Hi
[14:04] <madnick> hi
[14:04] <philippe_> is that guy person here who was helping me earlier with my resolution problem?
[14:05] <philippe_> I think it was well_laid_lawn
[14:05] <philippe_> Just wanted to say thanks for the help
[14:06] <philippe_> I was a bit rushed earlier
[14:06] <well_laid_lawn> philippe_: it's working now?
[14:06] <philippe_> Managed to fix it now
[14:06] <philippe_> Yeah
[14:06] <philippe_> many thanks!
[14:06] <well_laid_lawn> cheers :)
[14:06] <philippe_> I added mode line and executed it after getting the resolution settings with CRT
[14:07] <philippe_> Thank you!
[14:07] <philippe_> I best get back to work
[14:07] <philippe_> Take care
[14:07] <well_laid_lawn> your welcome
[14:07] <philippe_> Bye
[14:07] <well_laid_lawn> see ya
[14:08] <jamesd256> hi again
[14:08] <jamesd256> how is everyone?
[14:49] <pteague> is there a way to refresh my display changes via the settings editor without having to completely restart gdm?
[14:52] <Sysi> you can do on-the-go display config with at least arandr/grandr and nvidia tool, possibly with ati one too
[14:54] <pteague> problem is i have a crappy intel video card on this laptop
[14:54] <Sysi> if you make xorg.conf changes, only way is to restart xorg
[14:59] <pteague> weird... arandr gives me an assertionerror on startup... at least grandr worked... thanks, that should keep me somewhat sane :)
[15:14] <ElderDryas> I have an xubuntu specific issue re: 11.10b2, shall I ask it here or take it to +1?
[15:15] <charlie-tca> ElderDryas: +1 for oneiric
[15:15] <ElderDryas> danke
[15:45] <ashhab> hello room
[17:17] <Leet> hello, bitches
[17:20] <charlie-tca> !language
[18:00] <chirag_d_gr8> while installing linux ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu, i saw boot time error Bad LUN bad Numbers which surely had something to do with my bios settings. anyone has any idea?
[20:35] <skutr3> hey
[20:36] <skutr3> I am installing Xubuntu 11.04 now
[20:36] <skutr3> it looks very nice
[20:37] <skutr3> and is definitely going to be better on my graphics card than Unity
[20:37] <charlie-tca> :)
[20:40] <skutr3> and definitely a lot more stable than the Ubuntu 11.10 beta
[20:41] <skutr3> is anyone by chance running Java 7 on Xubuntu?
[20:41] <skutr3> and if so, how did you install it?
[20:53] <ColloquyUser> Hi there how do i use the USB personal hotspot from iPhone 4 with xubuntu?
[20:58] <ColloquyUser> Anyone?
[20:59] <skutr3> you get an adroid
[20:59] <skutr3> haha
[20:59] <skutr3> just kidding
[21:00] <skutr3> ColloquyUser: not sure
[21:00] <ColloquyUser> Lol
[21:00] <ColloquyUser> I guess
[21:01] <Sysi> I wonder what is "USB personal hotspot"
[21:01] <GridCube> a hub?
[21:02] <ColloquyUser> iPhone 4 can tether through USB
[21:03] <skutr3> The status of the install says: "Purging files for use-setup"
[21:03] <skutr3> is that normal?
[21:03] <skutr3> it looks as if it's removing everything....
[21:03] <Sysi> ColloquyUser: usb tethering should be standard, same on all phones
[21:04] <Sysi> ColloquyUser: open networkmanager, choose to edit connections, mobile networks tab, create new
[21:05] <jonny_> does anyone know how to change the font for the login screen?
[21:06] <GridCube> skutr3, i can't say i've ever heard about that
[21:06] <charlie-tca> skutr3: installing or upgrading?
[21:07] <focalt> yo
[21:07] <jonny_> hey
[21:09] <skutr3> charlie-tca: fresh install
[21:09] <focalt> i'm trying to build a software with cmake
[21:09] <focalt> but i'm getting this output
[21:09] <focalt> http://pastebin.com/cxGLe1pL
[21:09] <focalt> I dunno what's wrong
[21:09] <focalt> can anyone helpme?
[21:10] <skutr3> currently downloading language packs
[21:10] <skutr3> seems to be running all right
[21:11] <skutr3> I'll be back in a few minutes
[21:13] <GridCube> focalt, that warning says that you dont own a file, check that you own it
[21:14] <ColloquyUser> Sysi: Mobie networks is for 3G I think
[21:15] <ColloquyUser> Where do I find the USB connections?
[21:17] <GridCube> ?
[21:17] <GridCube> i don't understand your question
[21:19] <Sysi> ColloquyUser: same thing
[21:22] <charlie-tca> skutr3's stuff is normal
[21:23] <charlie-tca> ColloquyUser: 3g and mobile are not any different in network manager
[21:23] <charlie-tca> 3g is simply faster mobile
[21:23] <charlie-tca> than non-3g
[21:27] <genii-around> ColloquyUser_: I'm pretty sure if you just sudo modprobe ipheth   and then plug the phone into the computer it will see it.
[21:28] <ColloquyUser> I installed the ipheth-utils pkg and worked
[21:29] <DanielSenat> I seem to have problem with hibernate, it works but when i wake it up the screen is black.. forever
[21:54] <GridCube> !touchpad
[22:22] <shawn_> Can anyone help me?. has anyone in here ran ubuntu 10.04?
[22:22] <charlie-tca> Most of us in #xubuntu have used Xubuntu. But you could ask your real question and see if anyone has an answer.
[22:23] <GridCube> !touchscreen
[22:31] <shawn_> kk this is my question..  When either i play mp3 files.. or go on you tube.. there is a file called "Plugin Container" i believe that - fllash.. because i got rid of npviewer on ubuntu 10.04.. and when i play utube or mp3 files it eats my cpu
[22:32] <shawn_> Like  my cpu usage skii highs because of that... and im on a i7 ... quad core.. and my load averages are like 2.00 2.00 1.00 when i run utube or listen to any music
[22:35] <charlie-tca> do you have a swap file or swap partition?
[22:56] <GridCube> oookay, so i avoided to log into the gnome keyring earlier today, and now i try to use empathy and it doesnt ask me for the gnome keyring and i can't log in
[22:58] <GridCube> is asking me to create accounts!
[22:58] <GridCube> D:
[23:02]  * charlie-tca shrugs. he doesn't know enough about empathy or keyring to help
[23:04] <GridCube> i think is more a gnome-keyring thing
[23:05] <desaiu> How do you edit the bootsplash?
[23:05] <desaiu> Does xubuntu use xplash?
[23:06] <desaiu> xsplash
[23:06] <charlie-tca> depends on which version
[23:06] <charlie-tca> open a terminal and type    apt-cache policy plymouth
[23:06] <charlie-tca> if it doesn't give an installed version for plymouth, it is using xsplash
[23:07] <desaiu> It gives installed version
[23:07] <charlie-tca> Then that release is not using xsplash
[23:07] <charlie-tca> xsplash and plymouth are not compatible, and they do much the same for the user
[23:20] <desaiu> Am I seeing this correct, does the xubuntu logo slowly light up and dim, light up, dim, repeat?
[23:21] <desaiu> upon boot
[23:21] <desaiu> I'm curious how that works
[23:35] <DanielSenat> do i have a swap? http://pastebin.com/TK0gLnVb
[23:36] <GridCube> DanielSenat, it doesnt seems like
[23:36] <GridCube> install gparted and use it to create one, it can take like 5 minutes
[23:37] <GridCube> oh wait
[23:37] <GridCube> DanielSenat, do >  more /etc/fstab
[23:37] <GridCube> and it should tell you
[23:39] <DanielSenat> GridCube, http://pastebin.com/0Y2hTW3V
[23:39] <GridCube> :D see there!
[23:40] <GridCube> you have swap
[23:41] <GridCube> and 82 is swap now that i remember
[23:42] <DanielSenat> Aha, cool
[23:42] <DanielSenat> I thought I didn't have one
[23:42] <DanielSenat> # swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation" but i don't have sda5 anymore...
[23:43] <GridCube> the ubuntu installers force you to do so
[23:43] <DanielSenat> doesn't matter?
[23:43] <DanielSenat> Ok, good
[23:43] <GridCube> DanielSenat, it shows that sda5 now is called by its uuid
[23:43] <GridCube> and you do have one, check your previous pastebin
[23:44] <DanielSenat> I see now!
[23:44] <DanielSenat> Great
[23:44] <GridCube> :)
[23:45] <GridCube> you can always make it bigger using gparted :P
[23:45] <DanielSenat> Just now I have been trying to get a swap file because a guy in #ubuntu-se said i didn't hve a swap part..
[23:45] <GridCube> oh
[23:45] <DanielSenat> Is it difficult?
[23:45] <GridCube> nope
[23:45] <GridCube> and it will be more visual
[23:45] <GridCube> but be aware that playing whit partitions might cause you LOSING ALL YOUR DATA
[23:46] <GridCube> in ALL CAPS because its IMPORTANT
[23:46] <DanielSenat> ok, i have a backup!
[23:46] <DanielSenat> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq is this the way to do it?
[23:46] <GridCube> !swap
[23:46] <GridCube> yes
[23:46] <GridCube> :D
[23:48] <GridCube> but i would simply install gparted and edit the partitions from it, its pretty explainatory
[23:48] <GridCube> !gparted
[23:48] <DanielSenat> Yes, it seems messy that way, i will install gparted instead
[23:49] <DanielSenat> Thank's!
[23:49] <lorienor> Hi, I am kindly asking for technical support about Xubuntu 11.04. After having installed it from Microsoft Windows 7 using "Wubi", finishing the installation from Xubuntu, installing NVidia drivers from my graphic card and updated my Xubuntu software base. I rebooted as prompted and was face, after the boot choice of Xubuntu (vs Windows 7) with a Grub Minimal-Bash shell[sic], and unable to
[23:49] <lorienor> boot my Xubuntu 11.04 Operating system. Is someone knowledgeable about this issue and can teach me how to solve it ?
[23:49] <GridCube> DanielSenat, I repeat, be extremely careful when editing partitions!
[23:50] <DanielSenat> I will, and if i don't know I will ask first!
[23:50] <GridCube> !grub | lorienor
[23:51] <lorienor> ubottu, thank you very much I am checking right now.
[23:51] <GridCube> lorienor, it can be a huge lots of things
[23:55] <GridCube> also, lorienor, sadly the xubuntu community isn't very big, so most of us are xubuntu users and do not have much experience whit wubi, you might get better help from the #ubuntu community, but please don't think we don't want you asking here
[23:58] <DanielSenat> GridCube, I can only make it smaller, not bigger
[23:58] <GridCube> oh
[23:59] <GridCube> you need to make the adjacent one smaller first :P
[23:59] <DanielSenat> Then I need to boot the cd I guess
