[00:47] Well, 11.10b2 (via update-manager -d) is looking nice, just a bit different in the menus. === IdleOne is now known as Guest13541 [07:53] hello [07:54] hello [07:54] Is it possible to have a "Computer" icon on the desktop à la gnome 2.x? [07:54] with the volume list, that is [07:55] 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] knome: that will make all volume icons appear directly on the desktop [07:58] knome: http://sitepointstatic.com/graphics/computerwindow.png <- something like this [08:05] don't know. maybe you should add them as bookmarks in thunar, and they'd be on the sidebar. [08:09] knome: Thanks, I'm aware of that option, but I think I saw that icon on an xfce desktop once. [08:10] But maybe I'm wrong. [08:10] maybe somebody else knows, if you stick around [08:13] ok === ubott2 is now known as ubottu === ochosi_ is now known as ochosi === psycho_oreos is now known as Guest75691 === Guest75691 is now known as psycho_oreos === SaaMmY1 is now known as SaaMmY [11:36] Hi all [11:36] I need some help with something [11:37] 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] Stuck at 1024x768 when it's native resolution is 1280x1024 [11:37] cant go higher than 768 in display under settings [11:38] Any idea? [11:38] what does it say in the X log about it? [11:38] How would I check that? [11:39] I checked xrandr and it shows maximum as 768 [11:39] the log is /var/log/Xorg.0.log and around the middle of it it mentions the resolutions [11:39] have you checked for restricted drivers for your graphics card? [11:39] Checked that madnick None available [11:39] Well none turned up [11:39] ok just wanted to check [11:40] if it's onboard video it could be short of memory so check the virtual screen size in the log [11:41] am in the xorg.0.log [11:41] Lots of stuff in there [11:41] Dunno what I am looking for exactly [11:42] might be easier to paste it [11:42] !paste [11:42] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[11:49] for the radeon card [11:51] what do you want to check? [11:51] whether vesa, intel, ati or radeon is loaded [11:52] line 127 in that paste says your using the radeon driver [11:52] ah ok [11:53] try adding a modeline - http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 section III.5 near the middle of the page [11:53] to get your 1280x1024 [11:55] test it with $ xrandr --newmode [11:57] I dunno what to put :S [11:57] xrandr --newmode 1280x1024 [11:57] ? [11:58] that web page says how to make a new modeline [11:59] ok [11:59] Thanks for the help [11:59] try gtf 1280 1024 75 with the 75 being the refresh rate if that works with your monitor [11:59] I try it and let you know [11:59] luck [11:59] gtf? [11:59] yep [12:00] in a terminal [12:00] check out man gtf [12:01] It did something [12:01] How do I test it? [12:01] Think it wrote something to a file [12:03] I usually do this: [12:03] xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024 [12:03] But says it cant find that mode :S [12:04] xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00" 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1060 -HSync +Vsync <- something like [12:05] ok [12:06] Cannot find mode :( [12:07] hey guys [12:08] after last update (today) my external usb audio card stopped beign recognized by qjackctl [12:08] philippe: you have to run the gtf command yourself and get the modeline [12:09] and i'm unable to run din (dinisnoise.org) with a segmentation fault...I guess from the video drivers [12:09] what can I do to solve this? [13:58] hi [13:58] anyone awake? [14:04] barley ;) [14:04] Hi [14:04] hi [14:04] is that guy person here who was helping me earlier with my resolution problem? [14:05] I think it was well_laid_lawn [14:05] Just wanted to say thanks for the help [14:06] I was a bit rushed earlier [14:06] philippe_: it's working now? [14:06] Managed to fix it now [14:06] Yeah [14:06] many thanks! [14:06] cheers :) [14:06] I added mode line and executed it after getting the resolution settings with CRT [14:07] Thank you! [14:07] I best get back to work [14:07] Take care [14:07] your welcome [14:07] Bye [14:07] see ya [14:08] hi again [14:08] how is everyone? [14:49] is there a way to refresh my display changes via the settings editor without having to completely restart gdm? [14:52] you can do on-the-go display config with at least arandr/grandr and nvidia tool, possibly with ati one too [14:54] problem is i have a crappy intel video card on this laptop [14:54] if you make xorg.conf changes, only way is to restart xorg [14:59] weird... arandr gives me an assertionerror on startup... at least grandr worked... thanks, that should keep me somewhat sane :) [15:14] I have an xubuntu specific issue re: 11.10b2, shall I ask it here or take it to +1? [15:15] ElderDryas: +1 for oneiric [15:15] danke [15:45] hello room [17:17] hello, bitches === Leet is now known as Guest81183 [17:20] !language [17:20] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [18:00] 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] hey [20:36] I am installing Xubuntu 11.04 now [20:36] it looks very nice [20:37] and is definitely going to be better on my graphics card than Unity [20:37] :) [20:40] and definitely a lot more stable than the Ubuntu 11.10 beta [20:41] is anyone by chance running Java 7 on Xubuntu? [20:41] and if so, how did you install it? [20:53] Hi there how do i use the USB personal hotspot from iPhone 4 with xubuntu? [20:58] Anyone? [20:59] you get an adroid [20:59] haha [20:59] just kidding [21:00] ColloquyUser: not sure [21:00] Lol [21:00] I guess [21:01] I wonder what is "USB personal hotspot" [21:01] a hub? [21:02] iPhone 4 can tether through USB [21:03] The status of the install says: "Purging files for use-setup" [21:03] is that normal? [21:03] it looks as if it's removing everything.... [21:03] ColloquyUser: usb tethering should be standard, same on all phones [21:04] ColloquyUser: open networkmanager, choose to edit connections, mobile networks tab, create new [21:05] does anyone know how to change the font for the login screen? [21:06] skutr3, i can't say i've ever heard about that [21:06] skutr3: installing or upgrading? [21:07] yo [21:07] hey [21:09] charlie-tca: fresh install [21:09] i'm trying to build a software with cmake [21:09] but i'm getting this output [21:09] http://pastebin.com/cxGLe1pL [21:09] I dunno what's wrong [21:09] can anyone helpme? [21:10] currently downloading language packs [21:10] seems to be running all right [21:11] I'll be back in a few minutes [21:13] focalt, that warning says that you dont own a file, check that you own it [21:14] Sysi: Mobie networks is for 3G I think [21:15] Where do I find the USB connections? [21:17] ? [21:17] i don't understand your question [21:19] ColloquyUser: same thing [21:22] skutr3's stuff is normal [21:23] ColloquyUser: 3g and mobile are not any different in network manager [21:23] 3g is simply faster mobile [21:23] than non-3g [21:27] ColloquyUser_: I'm pretty sure if you just sudo modprobe ipheth and then plug the phone into the computer it will see it. === ColloquyUser_ is now known as ColloquyUser [21:28] I installed the ipheth-utils pkg and worked [21:29] I seem to have problem with hibernate, it works but when i wake it up the screen is black.. forever [21:54] !touchpad [21:54] For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [22:22] Can anyone help me?. has anyone in here ran ubuntu 10.04? [22:22] Most of us in #xubuntu have used Xubuntu. But you could ask your real question and see if anyone has an answer. [22:23] !touchscreen [22:31] 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] 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] do you have a swap file or swap partition? [22:56] 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] is asking me to create accounts! [22:58] D: [23:02] * charlie-tca shrugs. he doesn't know enough about empathy or keyring to help [23:04] i think is more a gnome-keyring thing [23:05] How do you edit the bootsplash? [23:05] Does xubuntu use xplash? [23:06] xsplash [23:06] depends on which version [23:06] open a terminal and type apt-cache policy plymouth [23:06] if it doesn't give an installed version for plymouth, it is using xsplash [23:07] It gives installed version [23:07] Then that release is not using xsplash [23:07] xsplash and plymouth are not compatible, and they do much the same for the user === XubuntuKris is now known as OvalOfficeKris === OvalOfficeKris is now known as XubuntuKris [23:20] Am I seeing this correct, does the xubuntu logo slowly light up and dim, light up, dim, repeat? [23:21] upon boot [23:21] I'm curious how that works === XubuntuKris is now known as PizzaHutKris [23:35] do i have a swap? http://pastebin.com/TK0gLnVb [23:36] DanielSenat, it doesnt seems like [23:36] install gparted and use it to create one, it can take like 5 minutes [23:37] oh wait [23:37] DanielSenat, do > more /etc/fstab [23:37] and it should tell you [23:39] GridCube, http://pastebin.com/0Y2hTW3V [23:39] :D see there! [23:40] you have swap [23:41] and 82 is swap now that i remember [23:42] Aha, cool [23:42] I thought I didn't have one [23:42] # swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation" but i don't have sda5 anymore... [23:43] the ubuntu installers force you to do so [23:43] doesn't matter? [23:43] Ok, good [23:43] DanielSenat, it shows that sda5 now is called by its uuid [23:43] and you do have one, check your previous pastebin [23:44] I see now! [23:44] Great [23:44] :) [23:45] you can always make it bigger using gparted :P [23:45] 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] oh [23:45] Is it difficult? [23:45] nope [23:45] and it will be more visual [23:45] but be aware that playing whit partitions might cause you LOSING ALL YOUR DATA [23:46] in ALL CAPS because its IMPORTANT [23:46] ok, i have a backup! [23:46] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq is this the way to do it? [23:46] !swap [23:46] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [23:46] yes [23:46] :D [23:48] but i would simply install gparted and edit the partitions from it, its pretty explainatory [23:48] !gparted [23:48] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [23:48] Yes, it seems messy that way, i will install gparted instead [23:49] Thank's! [23:49] 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] boot my Xubuntu 11.04 Operating system. Is someone knowledgeable about this issue and can teach me how to solve it ? [23:49] DanielSenat, I repeat, be extremely careful when editing partitions! [23:50] I will, and if i don't know I will ask first! [23:50] !grub | lorienor [23:50] lorienor: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[23:51] lorienor: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:51] lorienor, it can be a huge lots of things [23:55] 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] GridCube, I can only make it smaller, not bigger [23:58] oh [23:59] you need to make the adjacent one smaller first :P [23:59] Then I need to boot the cd I guess
