=== cleaninstall is now known as phiscribe
rAfitiiixxxhello, does someone knows how to make lubuntu 11.10 recognize my USB Headset automatically? if not i would like to know how to fix it so i can use it. If you need some logs or some .conf files, ask me :)01:20
gnuvinceI installed Lubuntu 64 bit on my laptop, and when I came to install the Skype Ubuntu package, it whined about a bunch of 32 bits libraries missing02:11
gnuvinceIs there an easier way to install Skype?  Maybe a repository I could add to /etc/apt/sources.list?02:12
brother-have you tried adding the ia32-libs package?02:12
gnuvinceI don't know that package, what is it?02:13
brother-I have no idea about how skype works and so on and I hope it does depend on ia32-libs if it is needed02:13
gnuvinceI'll try02:13
gnuvincehang on02:13
brother-it has some libraries and so on. read the package description02:13
phiscribeia32 is involved in betting 32 bit apps to run in 64 bit environment02:16
phiscribein getting that is02:16
* phiscribe just read the time stamp.....02:17
gnuvinceCool, installing ia32-libs did the trick.02:33
gnuvinceThanks for the tip, brother-.02:33
LubuntuPoweredhow do i turn off the notification icon on the taskbar for 11.10?02:50
LubuntuPoweredpermanently02:51
=== cleaninstall is now known as phiscribe
KM0201LubuntuPowered: i was wondering that as well... i *think* (i haven't tried it yet). go to menu/preferences/desktop session settings, and uncheck "notification daemon"03:00
LubuntuPoweredbrilliant03:03
LubuntuPoweredtake the rest of the day off03:04
KM0201:) will do03:06
KM0201(considering i'm going to bed ina bout 15min)03:06
KM0201lol03:06
rAfitiiixxxCan anyone help me with an usb headset not working on lubuntu 11.10?03:09
KM0201hmm..03:14
KM0201hmm03:14
KM0201a usb headset03:14
KM0201what model03:14
rAfitiiixxxKM0201: let me look for it, just a sec...03:17
KM0201rAfitiiixxx: don't worry about it, we can try something03:17
rAfitiiixxxKM0201: can't find the the box where it came :(03:18
KM0201rAfitiiixxx: thats fine03:18
KM0201plug it in03:18
rAfitiiixxxit's pluged :)03:18
KM0201open a terminal and type   lsusb  (LSUSB)   hit enter, and look at the output and see if you can identify your headset03:18
rAfitiiixxxBus 002 Device 004: ID 0d8c:000d C-Media Electronics, Inc. Composite Device03:19
rAfitiiixxx:D03:19
KM0201well thats perfectly cryptic03:19
KM0201lol03:19
KM0201well.. we can try installing pulse audio, see if it picks it up.. if you wanna try that03:19
KM0201or have you tried that?03:19
rAfitiiixxxokey! i will do whatever you suggest,03:19
rAfitiiixxxbut i think i allready did that, let me check03:20
KM0201in a terminalt ype this     sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol03:20
rAfitiiixxxpavucontrol wasn't installed, so i did it03:20
KM0201ok03:20
KM0201let it install03:20
KM0201honestly, having pulse audio installed w/o pavucontrol, is like a car w/o gas03:21
KM0201once pavucontrol is installed, open it under sound and video03:21
KM0201click the "output" tab.03:21
KM0201and see if you can choose your headsets03:21
rAfitiiixxxKM0201: umm, under sound and video? :( where ?03:22
rAfitiiixxxoh never mind!03:22
rAfitiiixxxlol03:22
KM0201yes, under sound and video... "Pulse Audio Volume COntrol"03:22
rAfitiiixxxokey, it seems to be set and ready to use my headsets... i'm gonna try it on a youtube video since it's a fresh install and i don't have any music here :P03:24
KM0201ok03:24
KM0201as long as you know youtube is working w/o the headsets (i'm assuming you know it is)03:25
rAfitiiixxxit seems it isn't working :S03:25
rAfitiiixxxmmm i didn't check on that, let me turn on speakers03:25
rAfitiiixxx:S03:25
KM0201lol03:26
rAfitiiixxxdamn, i think the speakers aren't working too, i'm downloading an mp3 from the web... gonna check with that03:27
KM0201kinda hard to believe you didn't troubleshoot your sound first, rather than immediately moving to your headphones03:28
rAfitiiixxxthe thing is that i hate my speakers since those two suck03:29
rAfitiiixxxi allways use my headset, in every OS, :P03:29
rAfitiiixxxokey, some .mp3 file is playing but i have no sound in both, speakers and headset :S03:29
KM0201well, i understand that, but immediately moving to the USB headset, gives you something far more difficult to troubleshoot, troubleshoot things in order.03:30
KM0201ok, lets drop the headset, unplug it, and set it aside03:30
rAfitiiixxxdone03:30
KM0201now, go back to pulseaudio volume control03:30
rAfitiiixxxi'm on it03:30
KM0201whats your outputdevices say03:30
rAfitiiixxx:S it's on spanish, but i think it's the same as Analog device03:31
KM0201..03:32
rAfitiiixxxi'm also checking if the speakers are well conected, i'm gonna make sure of it03:32
KM0201ok, well i honestly need to go to bed03:32
rAfitiiixxxthe thing is that i can't change it, the Analog output i mean03:32
rAfitiiixxx:(03:32
KM0201i have to be up early...03:32
KM0201you can't change what?03:32
KM0201the output device03:32
KM0201?03:32
rAfitiiixxxi can't03:33
rAfitiiixxx:S it won't let me, but maybe it's because i unplugged the headset03:33
KM0201probably03:33
rAfitiiixxxshall i plug it in again?03:33
KM0201what are your options on the configuration tab03:33
KM0201no03:33
rAfitiiixxxthe options are03:33
rAfitiiixxxinternal audio:03:33
KM0201logic says, if you're not getting sound at your speakers, your sound isn't working.. so sound isn't gonna mysteriously work coming out of the uSB03:33
rAfitiiixxxu're right03:34
rAfitiiixxx:S03:34
KM0201so you have no options under sound?03:34
KM0201sorry, under configuration03:34
rAfitiiixxxi have a bunch of them03:34
rAfitiiixxxmore than i can write!03:34
KM0201whats it set to right now?03:35
rAfitiiixxxStereo digital (IEC958) Output + Analog Stereo Input03:35
KM0201k, just for grins, try changing that to analog stereo duplex03:36
rAfitiiixxxYEIII!!03:37
rAfitiiixxxit's working! on the speakers at least03:37
KM0201ok03:37
KM0201now, plug in your USB03:37
KM0201and adjust the output back to your usb headset03:37
KM0201and see if you have sound03:37
rAfitiiixxxno it's not :(03:39
rAfitiiixxxthe output was the one that was before, right? IEC95803:39
KM0201no.03:39
KM0201leave it on analog03:39
KM0201sorry03:39
KM0201leave it stereo duplex, and change the output tab, to whatever you changed it for usb03:39
KM0201if you leave configuration, on analog stereo duplex, then no the output devices tab, change that to your USB speakers03:41
KM0201one would think, you should have sound from your headset03:41
rAfitiiixxxok03:41
rAfitiiixxxhonestly, i don't get why is that i can't set this headset :(03:43
rAfitiiixxxit's not working03:43
KM0201well, gonna have to work on this another time.. i would go through pavucontrol very carefully, and see if you can figure out... the fact it's seeing the headset... you should be able to get it to work03:43
KM0201it's just a matter of finding the right setting03:44
rAfitiiixxxokey, i'm gonna keep trying diferent combos03:44
rAfitiiixxxhope i get lucky03:44
KM0201hopefully..03:44
rAfitiiixxxthanks for all the help KM0201 :)03:44
KM0201just take this as an abject lesson on how to troubleshoot... don't troubleshoot headsets that aren't working, when you've not even confirmed your sound is working.. :)03:44
KM0201no problem, best of luck03:45
KM0201i won't be on tomorrow, but.. hopefully that gets you on the road to success.03:45

plasticdocI am having trouble at making a couple of apps autostart at user login. This one works as expected:         ln -sf /usr/share/applications/zim.desktop ~/.config/autostart/09:13
plasticdocAnd this one does not work no matter what iI do:          ln -sf /usr/share/applications/claws-mail.desktop ~/.config/autostart/09:13
plasticdoc    Any ideas?09:13
bioterroryes09:20
bioterrorcheck from that preferences thingie09:20
bioterrorthere's those "services"09:20
plasticdocWell... I started by doing that. The corresponding boxes were present and checked and all... but no luck with that.09:22
plasticdocStrange enough Zim (zim.desktop) autostarts, but it is not present in the automatically Started Applications screen.09:24
plasticdocBut Claws Mail is present and checked, but does not autostart.09:25
bioterroredit09:27
bioterror.config/openbox/autostart.sh09:27
bioterror~/09:27
bioterrorand add to the bottom of that file09:27
bioterrorprogram &09:27
bioterrorprogram &09:27
bioterrorand remove those .desktop symlinks09:27
bioterrorand then logout and log backin09:27
plasticdocIn ~/.config/openbox/ I only have lubuntu-rc.xml and lxde-rc.xml, should I create an autostart.sh file?09:31
bioterrorhmmm09:31
bioterroryou could make one then09:31
plasticdocI have tried to execute 'openbox-xdg-autostart --list', but it seems to be absent from the system. Although there are openbox, openbox-lxde, openbox-lubuntu, this is a little confusing.09:35
plasticdocIs there documentation available for the ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh file specs?09:36
bioterroropenbox by default should read autostart.sh09:36
plasticdocWell, I am now browsing /etc/xdg/openbox and starting to get a feeling for it. But, I wonder, where is the line that loads the contents of the files stored in ~/.config/openbox/ ?09:40
bioterrorI dont have lubuntu machine near me atm.09:44
bioterrorso I cannot check that ;)09:44
bioterrorwas it /etc/default/ something09:44
WalravenCould I get a short description abt playing bluray's in bluray-reader under lubuntu10:19
lubuntu20dashHi I upgraded lubuntu to the lastest version and I cant install gnu icecat10:41
lubuntu20dashHi I upgraded lubuntu to the latest version, Lubuntu 11.10 and I cant install gnu icecat the error says "Depends: libnotify1  but it is not installable"10:46
mark76Why isn't it installable?10:48
lubuntu20dashmark76, because Lubuntu 11.10 does not have it in its repositories10:51
mark76Odd10:52
mark76When was it removed from the Ubuntu repos?10:52
lubuntu20dashmark76, Lubuntu 11.10 it seems, I had icecat in ubuntu 11.04 and it worked fine10:53
mark76Yep, it's been deleted.10:55
mark76Replaced by libnotify410:56
lubuntu20dash mark76, any way I can add it back? I really want to use icecat10:56
mark76You could try adding the repositories for natty10:57
mark76But I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not10:57
lubuntu20dashmark76, pastebin the code, I will add them, install libnotify1, then deactivate them10:58
lubuntu20dashmark76, what are the repositories for natty? pastebin them please11:01
mark76I've no idea11:03
mark76And you don't really need to pastebin a single line11:03
lubuntu20dash mark76, I really need  libnotify111:04
l33__deleted U3 with the U3 tools...still Lubuntu Desktop cant refresh or see the actual excisting directory of my usb memory stick...11:04
lubuntu20dashAM) l33__, does the directory show in windows?11:05
mark76Looks like it's not possible lubuntu20dash11:06
l33__dont know...have so start my windows machine11:06
mark76You're going to have to use Firefox11:06
lubuntu20dashmark76, is it, I just need the code to add the repository11:06
l33__i will test that and tell you later11:06
lubuntu20dashmark76, or install it manually, that I have no clue how11:07
mark76Go into your sources list and find/replace oneiric with natty11:07
mark76Keep natty until GNU updates icecat to use libnotify411:08
l33__as leszek told me yesterday, i deleted the U§ from the stick with the command he gave me - this worked without errors...after that i unmounted the stick, formated the MBR with GUID table and then made a volume and formatted it with ext2 not crypted with the lubuntu disc utility11:08
lubuntu20dashmark76, how I edit my sources?11:08
l33__and copying something from or to the stick takes really long time...but copying with the mc is quite fast11:09
lubuntu20dashl33__, in my experience , avoid the U? usb flash drives, if you have one, just sell it away, but now that you have formated it, you are kind of doomed, how big is the stick?11:10
l33__4 gig11:12
l33__i know now hehehe U3 is crap...but it worked for years11:13
lubuntu20dashl33__, my advice is, backup, and format it one of those usb formating tools in FULL, is gonna take a while, so go watch a movie.11:13
l33__many lubuntu/ubuntu unetbootin installs successes11:13
l33__k11:13
l33__and then seeling it?11:13
l33__i formatted it many times11:13
l33__wot do you mean with formatting full?11:13
l33__format the guid?11:14
l33__dont using volumes..just directly formatting it without partitioning ?11:14
lubuntu20dashl33__, deleting the U? thing is generally a bad idea, and I mean one of those tolls made for formating usb flash drives,., not ubuntu formatting tools11:14
l33__okay11:15
mark76Can you see a file called software-sources.list in /etc, lubuntu20dash?11:15
l33__me?11:15
mark76Are you called lubuntu20dash?11:16
l33__sorry, thought lubuntu20dash was a ini file hehehe11:16
lubuntu20dashmark76, I genealy get an error when I try to see files as root, so the answer is no11:16
l33__have 2 go11:16
l33__thank you all11:16
l33__c u later ;)11:16
mark76Why do you get an error?11:17
mark76Bye I33__11:17
l33__;)11:17
lubuntu20dashmark76, nevermind, the error only happens if you try to see the root folder, and about the error, asks the dudes who coded PCManFM 0.9.911:18
mark76Try opening it as the normal user11:19
lubuntu20dashmark76, cant see it sorry11:20
mark76Me neither. It must be deeper down11:20
mark76Hang on11:20
mark76Open a terminal and paste this in11:22
mark76sudo leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list11:22
mark76Replace leafpad with text editor of choice11:23
lubuntu20dashso I just  backup and replace oneiric with natty?11:24
mark76Yeah11:24
mark76Might as well11:24
mark76You ain't getting libnotify1 back any other way11:24
mark76When you're in use the Replace option in the Search menu to replace oneiric with natty11:26
mark76Then send an email to the GNU icecat team requesting that they update the browser to use libnotify411:27
lubuntu20dashcursed leadpad11:27
mark76leafpad.11:27
lubuntu20dashmark76, I was insulting it, hence leadpad11:30
mark76Ah :D11:30

bioterrorhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#How_I_can_autostart_a_program_when_logging_in_to_Desktop19:25
bioterrorurxvtd is just an example19:26
LucMoveyes, I've done that19:26
LucMoveno worky19:26
bioterrorsomeone broke lxde autostart!19:27
LucMoveah, wait19:27
LucMoveit says ~/.config/autostart/19:27
bioterrorthat's right19:28
LucMoveeverything else I found on google says ~/.config/openbox/autostart/19:28
bioterrorthe difference between that and what you've found from google is that I've not written those in google ;)19:28
LucMoveare you a developer, maintainer or directly guilty of anything?19:29
bioterrorI'm just trying to make your life easier19:29
LucMovewell, lemme try that other way...19:29
bioterrordid it work19:40
LucMoveFINALLY. It's working now.19:40
bioterroryou're welcome ;)19:40
LucMoveI was using ~ in the Exec line. It really wanted an explicit path.19:40
LucMoveNot very smart, but meh.19:41
LucMovethank you19:41
goliatDoes anyone know how i can get my power button to work just like when i choose logout, so i can choose shutdown, reboot, etc.?20:24
goliatI forgot to say it is a laptop and i can use the special buttons for brightnesses, volume and battery status.20:29
LucMovetry running xev on a console and pressing keys, they will be identified...20:31
LucMovethen if xev identifies your power button, the rest is easy20:31
LucMovejust press the power button once and quickly, so it won't actually shut down20:32
LucMoveBut that if that doesn't work, why not use another key, like Win-F12, or Alt-Shift-F12. It's what I do.20:33
goliatLucMove: What is xev? Pressing the power button wont make it shutdown, think only force shutdown works atm.20:34
LucMovexev is an application. Run it on the console, so you see the output.20:34
LucMoveA white square window will pop up. Drag it to the side so you can see the output on the terminal window beneath it. But make sure that white square has focus when you press keys. That white square captures the keys, the output is in the terminal window. Get it?20:37
goliatyeah im testing right now20:37
LucMovegreat20:37
LucMoveevery time you press a key, you should see 5 lines or so...20:38
goliatyepp ^20:38
LucMovethe third one contains state 0x0, keycode [something]20:38
goliatpressing a letter will give a return on what letter it should be20:38
LucMovekeycode is what you need20:39
LucMovefor me, keys a,s,d return keycodes 38,39,40 respectively20:39
goliatthe same for me but the power button is a bit tricky for me20:40
LucMovethe power button gives me no keycode20:40
LucMoveSo I can't use the power button the way you suggest. Do you get a keycode?20:41
goliatno me neither20:42
goliatnot*20:42
LucMovewell, there is another thing you can try20:42
LucMoveRight-click the power meter in the system tray and choose Preferences20:43
LucMovein General options, there is this option, "When power button is pressed" [Ask] [Suspend] [Hibernate] [Shutdown]20:44
LucMoveBut that doesn't work for me either.20:44
goliatYeah i have all of thoose on ask20:44
goliatWhen i had fedora with xfce it worked when i changed them20:44
goliatbut sadly not here20:45
LucMoveI guess both our machines do not communicate the power button in a way that the OS can recognize.20:45
LucMoveSo, I recommend using some other key shortcut or combination instead of the power button.20:46
goliatyeah, i blame dell ;)20:46
goliathow can i set that up then?20:46
LucMoveopen this file ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml20:46
LucMovelook for one of the many <keybind sections you have. Each one begins at <keybind and ends at </keybind>. Standard XML, you know.20:48
goliatok20:49
LucMoveClone any one of them, i.e. copy-paste. So you can edit the second one.20:49
LucMoveHere is mine:20:49
LucMove    <keybind key="S-W-F12"><!-- Logout -->20:49

Josh__hello20:49
bioterroror else!20:49
Josh__I need some help20:49
LucMoveah, sorry. Just this once... ;-)20:49
bioterrorJosh__, go ahead20:50
Josh__ok, I try to connect a virtual harddisc20:50
LucMovegoliat: I assume the key sequence is obvious: Shift-Windows key-F12 in my case. But you can use any other combination.20:51
Josh__i saw in the description for ubuntu -> connect to server20:51
goliatLucMove: I can just copy your code and change the keybind right?20:51
Josh__but i cannot find it on lubuntu, does anone  know where it might be?20:51
LucMovegoliat: yes20:52
LucMovewhat is a virtual harddisc? cloud?20:53
goliatLucMove: the "S" and the "W" is Shift and WindowsKey right?20:56
Josh__does anyone speak german, because my english is not so good, so i cannot explan my problem20:56
LucMovegoliat: yes20:56
Josh__virtual disc ist my disc, when I am at the campus20:57
goliatLucMove: Can i make a comment in the file with //?20:57
LucMovegoliat: no. Comments in XML are made with <!-- comment -->20:57
LucMovelooked at what I pasted here, it has a comment20:58
goliatAhh yes i see it thanks :)20:58
LucMoveJosh__: Your English is fine. But I would need a better description of this virtual disc thing.20:59
LucMoveThere are many possible setups for something like this.21:00
goliatLucMove: Is C = Ctrl and A = alt or is there any website where i can see desctriptions21:00
LucMovegoliat: I'm pretty sure there are plenty of Openbox wikis and docs on the Web, but yes, you got that right.21:00
LucMoveS = Shift21:01
LucMoveMaybe M = Meta, but then I'm just over guessing. I've never seen this "meta" key on any machine in my life.21:01
LucMoveand I don't know if meta is supported by openbox21:02
goliatIsnt Meta just the key Mac have instead of Windows key?21:03
LucMoveif you say so... I have no idea. :;-\21:03
goliatMe neither but its a guess :P21:04
LucMoveas good as any21:04
goliatBtw i have changed and saved the file. Do i need to reboot or does it work right away?21:04
LucMovegood question21:05
LucMovewhy not create another keybind entry?21:06
LucMovebut now use this: <command>openbox --reconfigure</command>21:06
LucMoveor you can just run 'openbox --reconfigure' on a terminal21:06
LucMovethat will refresh the entire running configuration, including key shortcuts21:07
goliatit worked :D21:10
