| homebrewcider | cam someone help me please, I have xubuntu 11.04 installed, but mp3 files won't play on vlc, kaffeine, parole.....I thought I had all codecs installed | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| beardygnome | homebrewcider: have you installed gstreamer-plugins-ugly? | 00:11 |
| beardygnome | (i think that's what it's called) | 00:11 |
| madnick | vlc should pull everything relevant | 00:11 |
| beardygnome | or xubuntu-restricted-extras | 00:11 |
| homebrewcider | vlc pulled nothing, I have the restricted extras | 00:16 |
| homebrewcider | and beardy as for the "ugly" thing, said no such package | 00:20 |
| GridCube | homebrewcider, run alsa-mixer and see that you have everithing unmutted | 00:21 |
| homebrewcider | ok but what does that have to do with it? | 00:22 |
| GridCube | that you might be playing and you just don't hear | 00:22 |
| homebrewcider | no, i get an error message | 00:23 |
| homebrewcider | The format of 'file:///home/mal/Music/file.mp3' cannot be detected. Have a look at the log for details. | 00:24 |
| homebrewcider | log? | 00:24 |
| homebrewcider | I can't find a log | 00:24 |
| beardygnome | on my 11.10 system it's gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly | 00:28 |
| beardygnome | just posting mine | 00:29 |
| beardygnome | the bottom panel autohides and has a (virtually) transparent background | 00:30 |
| beardygnome | sorry, wrong chat window | 00:30 |
| policecopfed | i've been looking around for the file where i can change "in the workspace switcher, can i change the contrast between active and inactive windows?" but can't find it. | 00:32 |
| policecopfed | anyone know where i should be looking? | 00:32 |
| beardygnome | menu -> settings -> settings manager -> window manager tweaks -> compositor | 00:34 |
| beardygnome | ? | 00:35 |
| policecopfed | i don't have window manager tweaks :( | 00:39 |
| beardygnome | oh | 00:39 |
| beardygnome | what xubuntu are you running? | 00:40 |
| policecopfed | 4.8? | 00:41 |
| policecopfed | sorry, that's the xfce version | 00:43 |
| policecopfed | Linux version 3.0.0-12-generic (buildd@crested) (gcc version 4.6.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3) ) #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 | 00:43 |

| beardygnome | so you have the latest version.... | 00:44 |
| beardygnome | what make of graphics card are you using?] | 00:44 |
| policecopfed | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 00:45 |
| beardygnome | i'd have thought that intel graphics should be able to handle the effects | 00:46 |
| beardygnome | i'm not sure what else to suggest, as far as i can tell, the window manager tweaks should be present by default | 00:49 |
| Artemis3 | try lspci -v | 00:49 |

| Artemis3 | and its not working? | 00:53 |
| policecopfed | apparently not, but i can live with that | 00:54 |
| policecopfed | the main issue is the colours on the workspace switcher | 00:54 |
| policecopfed | is there a more direct way to modify them? | 00:54 |
| Artemis3 | so the compositor doesnt work? | 00:55 |
| Artemis3 | not like it matters | 00:56 |
| policecopfed | it does, it's a bit annoying when you have 20 terminals open in each workspace to take the time to figure out which is which | 00:57 |
| policecopfed | i have to move my face 10cm from my monitor to tell a difference between the colours | 00:57 |
| Artemis3 | mine shows a blueish thing | 00:57 |
| policecopfed | so i just end up randomly switching | 00:57 |
| Artemis3 | but i think it depends on the theme | 00:57 |
| atruno- | how do you use samba with xubuntu 11.10 ? | 03:06 |
| holstein | atruno-: depends on what you want to do, but its going to be the same as with ubuntu pretty much | 03:30 |
| holstein | maybe https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComprehensiveSambaGuide would be a good read for you? | 03:31 |
| HoserHead | Has someone had an issue where if they plug in a webcam, the wireless connection drops out? | 03:54 |
| HoserHead | I have a USB wireless dongle and a USB webcam, and it seems to be one or the other, but not both | 03:54 |
| HoserHead | *USB dongle for wireless and USB webcam | 03:55 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| holstein | HoserHead: that could be a hardware problem, but you could check the bios and see if you can give different IRQ settings to different usb ports | 03:59 |
| holstein | i find they are typically on the same one | 03:59 |
| HoserHead | that's something I haven't thought of | 04:01 |
| HoserHead | I'll give it a shot, brb | 04:02 |
| holstein | HoserHead: | 04:02 |
| holstein | you can run cat /proc/interrupts in a terminal | 04:02 |
| HoserHead | k, I just did but I'm not sure what I'm reading in the output | 04:04 |
| holstein | 23: 88802 975 IO-APIC-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb1, uhci_hcd:usb2 | 04:05 |
| holstein | for example... thats 2 USB ports or devices sharing an IRQ | 04:05 |
| HoserHead | Here are the lines that mention usb: | 04:06 |
| holstein | its challening to tell what is what | 04:06 |
| HoserHead | 20: 17122 IO-APIC-fasteoi ohci_hcd:usb3 | 04:06 |
| HoserHead | 21: 10299 IO-APIC-fasteoi ohci_hcd:usb2, NVidia nForce2 | 04:06 |
| HoserHead | 22: 952514 IO-APIC-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb1, eth0 | 04:06 |
| holstein | not much easier in the bios | 04:06 |
| holstein | hmmm | 04:06 |
| HoserHead | the NVidia one is kinda funny | 04:06 |
| HoserHead | eth0 I get, its a USB wireless dongle | 04:06 |
| HoserHead | but all I have plugegd into USB are the keyboard, Mouse and dongle | 04:07 |
| holstein | HoserHead: thats plausible... and you can check the bios | 04:07 |
| HoserHead | is there a way to check the BIOS without rebooting? | 04:07 |
| holstein | HoserHead: that pretty much tells you whats what | 04:08 |
| GridCube | this is happenign a lot lately http://imagebin.org/183738 | 04:13 |
| GridCube | the grey boxes | 04:13 |
| GridCube | they wont go away until i restart xfwm4 | 04:13 |
| w30 | any one besides me have their desktop icons playing musical chairs on every reboot? | 04:16 |
| GridCube | ? | 04:16 |
| w30 | GridCube, they are still their even after the desktop redraws? like moving a window over the gray boxes | 04:20 |
| w30 | there | 04:21 |
| GridCube | yes | 04:21 |
| w30 | GridCube, ouch... | 04:21 |
| GridCube | they are the shadows under name tags and stuff | 04:22 |
| wereyoda | good morning! | 04:24 |
| GridCube | http://imagebin.org/183741 | 04:24 |
| w30 | GridCube, was something there at one time that profiled that silhouette? | 04:25 |
| GridCube | and its also on top of other windows | 04:25 |
| wereyoda | ere I set X-default mouse pointer size? | 04:25 |
| wereyoda | where.. | 04:26 |
| GridCube | https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HyhsMPDyyN-mRWRujfZX3JuKX9aWFQPWsxMEiJX99gQ/edit?hl=es&pli=1 | 04:28 |
| GridCube | question 8 wereyoda | 04:28 |
| wereyoda | thanks | 04:29 |
| GridCube | w30, yes as said its the shadow of a nametag | 04:40 |
| w30 | GridCube, nothing I have had any experience with helps me understand what's going on. | 04:47 |
| GridCube | i blame me usin the stylus on a touchscreen | 04:48 |
| w30 | GridCube, like it should have text in it and fade away in a second or so. | 04:49 |
| GridCube | im guessing xfwm4 doesnt recognizes that i've moved the pointer | 04:49 |
| GridCube | and still thinks it has to draw a shadow there | 04:50 |
| w30 | GridCube, can you opt for a real mouse and double check that? | 04:51 |
| w30 | GridCube, whatever it is it's crazy | 04:52 |
| GridCube | i could use the touchpad yes, but the event is random and i dont see how to force it to happen | 04:52 |
| w30 | GridCube, great, just plain great. | 04:53 |
| GridCube | ja | 04:54 |
| GridCube | yes! | 04:55 |
| GridCube | i made it happen using the stylus | 04:55 |
| w30 | GridCube, "plain" substitutes for the "bad word" | 04:56 |
| GridCube | ja | 04:56 |
| GridCube | XD | 04:56 |
| GridCube | okay so apparently is firefox fault | 04:56 |
| w30 | GridCube, maybe look for bug reports where ever | 04:58 |
| GridCube | i should | 04:58 |
| w30 | GridCube, although any bug I ever have there is never an answer until 2 years later | 04:59 |
| GridCube | that be bugzilla? | 05:00 |
| GridCube | i have "connections" on launchpad tho, and by "connections" i mean i will bother people to answer me | 05:01 |
| GridCube | well time to sleep i guess | 05:02 |
| GridCube | its 2 o'clock | 05:02 |
| GridCube | :D | 05:02 |
| GridCube | have a good day people | 05:02 |
| wereyoda | still mouse pointer is same | 05:06 |
| wereyoda | sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme | 05:10 |
| wereyoda | that command do the trick but I need size to change too | 05:10 |
| w30 | any one besides me have their desktop icons playing musical chairs on every reboot? | 05:10 |
| w30 | how do you nail them down? | 05:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | tried saving the session? | 05:15 |

| Pob | Hi, I have installed xubuntu 11.10 on my old laptop for my 3 year old son to play with. | 09:35 |
| Pob | Works great with Tux Paint, but some games like SuperTux2 will not run properly with constant freezes. | 09:35 |
| Pob | The freezes also happen when coming out of screensaver and last for around 10-20 seconds including the mouse curser. | 09:35 |
| Pob | The PC is an Arima W720-K7 with 1G RAM and an ATI Radeon IGP-320M Chipset. | 09:35 |

| shadow193 | Hi all I have a problem with my microphone. Im running the newest xubuntu amd64 platform on laptop : lenovo g570. Skype doesnt discover my integrated mic...there is only : Pulseaudio server(local) in capture options...can someone help? | 09:38 |
| Sysi | rohn: uh, you need to create and edit xorg.conf | 09:38 |
| rohn | can yo tell me the procedure Sysi | 09:39 |
| Pob | Would someone be able to give me a few pointers sorting this and confirming OpenGL is functioning properly? | 09:40 |
| Sysi | rohn: log out, press Ctrl Alt F6 and login to that terminal, run 'sudo service gdm stop' and 'sudo Xorg -configure' and then 'sudo reboot' and see what happens | 09:40 |
| ball | I'm starting to wonder whether X.org hate us. | 09:40 |
| Sysi | Pob: first check 'less ~/.xsesion-errors" | 09:41 |
| Pob | Or is the PC just too under spec'ed? Seems to run fine with ~20% RAM usage normally and CPU not loaded up too much. | 09:41 |
| Sysi | oh typo, "less ~/.xsession-errors" | 09:42 |
| Pob | Thank's Sysi spotted that. File is a couple of pages, anything in particular I am looking for? A lot of info messages, will have a better look. | 09:50 |
| Pob | Error: No running window found | 09:51 |
| Pob | (xfce4-terminal:1546): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_window_get_window_type: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed | 09:51 |

| Sysi | warnings? | 09:55 |

| Pob | (xfce4-indicator-plugin:1319): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `(null)' to `GtkWidget' | 09:56 |
| Sysi | those few errors maybe indicate something being wrong with graphics driver | 09:57 |
| Pob | IRC is pretty new to me, not real familiar with paste bin. Did I need to filter dmesg for anything in particular? | 09:59 |
| Sysi | do you see errors or warnings? | 10:00 |
| Sysi | it could also be that GPU just isn't enough, expecially if drivers aren't very good | 10:00 |
| Pob | Sysi: I don't see anything obvious in dmesg. KMS seems to load the correct driver (RS100) for the GPU | 10:08 |
| Pob | I will paste bin if you can guide me | 10:10 |
| Sysi | I guess opengl/gpu just isn't powerful enough | 10:11 |
| Pob | Okay, I didn't think I was asking too much from it. | 10:12 |
| Pob | Sysi: Thanks for your help | 10:15 |
| ball | Sysi: What are you trying to do? | 10:26 |
| Sysi | math homework | 10:26 |

| stephan_ | but if i go to the keyboard shortcuts i can't define Fn-F4 | 17:38 |
| stephan_ | any suggestions? | 17:38 |
| TheSheep | stephan_: why not? | 17:44 |
| TheSheep | stephan_: there shouldn't be any problem with that | 17:44 |
| stephan_ | ah stupid me... seems that i pushed ctrl + f4 :) | 17:44 |
| stephan_ | tia | 17:44 |
| TheSheep | stephan_: you can also use that, you just need to redefine the functions that are bound to those keys already in window manager settings | 17:44 |
| stephan_ | works like a charm. | 17:46 |

| GridCube | nlsthzn, ochosi should know | 18:54 |

| GridCube | :D | 19:02 |
| GridCube | turbokumbi, :o | 19:02 |
| GridCube | sorry bro | 19:02 |
| GridCube | im afraid there is no much more i can do | 19:02 |
| nlsthzn | turbokumbi: have you tried changing from which server you are updating your repos... | 19:03 |
| GridCube | turbokumbi, what does alsa-mixer says? you might have mutted the sound? | 19:04 |
| turbokumbi | i've already checked alsamixer | 19:04 |
| turbokumbi | it's on 100% | 19:04 |
| turbokumbi | so no, it is definitely not muted :D | 19:04 |
| GridCube | and the pulse audio one? | 19:05 |
| turbokumbi | pulseaudio has stuff like that? :o | 19:06 |
| GridCube | yes | 19:06 |
| GridCube | ah | 19:06 |
| GridCube | its mmm, its... | 19:06 |
| GridCube | !pulseaudio | 19:07 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 19:07 |
| GridCube | pavucontrol! | 19:07 |
| GridCube | :D | 19:07 |
| turbokumbi | okay | 19:14 |
| turbokumbi | i suffered a mild heart attack because of the volume levels | 19:14 |
| turbokumbi | :P | 19:14 |
| turbokumbi | but it works, thanks | 19:14 |
| GridCube | :D | 19:18 |
| GridCube | turbokumbi, it was muted then? | 19:18 |
| turbokumbi | apparently.. | 19:20 |
| turbokumbi | or i had to set it as fallback device | 19:20 |
| turbokumbi | guess we'll never know the truth now.. :D | 19:20 |
| GridCube | :D | 19:20 |
| * GridCube gives himself a cockie | 19:21 | |
| turbokumbi | thanks for everything | 19:21 |
| turbokumbi | is there a way to change the appearance of the cursor / make terminal open up in a specified size (say, 132*43) ? | 19:23 |
| turbokumbi | by cursor i mean the one in the terminal.. | 19:24 |
| GridCube | don't really know | 19:24 |
| GridCube | i don't think so tho | 19:24 |

| mrhankeybelieve | /part | 22:03 |
| wooo | will xubuntu be much faster on an SSD? | 22:09 |
| Bukowskii | any OS will be faster at loading things on a SSD but not neccissarily faster at running them, unless your systems bottle neck was its HD | 22:11 |
| wooo | makes sense thank you | 22:12 |
| wooo | and i feel as though my installer is hanging right now | 22:12 |
| wooo | it has not moved in 20 minutes | 22:12 |
| wooo | will reboot and try to install again | 22:14 |
| mongy | Does anyone have the same problem as me in xubuntu 11.10 with right clicking properties on more than 1 file/folder? Properties is ghosted and not selectable | 22:43 |
| GridCube | mongy, i thing thats a feature more than a problem | 22:45 |
| mongy | eh? | 22:46 |
| mongy | I just wanna see how big x amount of files/folders are | 22:46 |
| madnick | just select them :) | 22:47 |
| madnick | thunar will tell you | 22:47 |
| mongy | madnick: it doesn't | 22:47 |
| madnick | What do you mean? It says the size in the status bar | 22:47 |
| mongy | madnick: '4.0k folder' means nothing to me when there is 15gb inside it | 22:47 |
| mongy | would pcmanfm have the this problem as well? I have used it a little before, seemed ok | 22:49 |
| madnick | technically it is correct, but i understand your concern, and there is plenty of addons or and alternative file managers | 22:49 |
| mongy | I need an addon to see how big my selected files/folders are? do you know what it's called? | 22:51 |
| madnick | I don't know, I can't really think of any file manager that doesnt use the actual file sizee | 22:53 |
| madnick | But there ought to be one :) | 22:53 |
| mongy | Just tried pcmanfm and it does what I need. | 22:54 |
| gry | How do I set xfce4-notifyd as the default instead of NotifyODS? | 23:00 |
| gry | OSD, even | 23:01 |
| ochosi | nlsthzn: hmyeah, that's not really easily fixable. there was/is a bugreport about that on launchpad, but you can't have rounded scrollbars and scrollbars touching the window-edge. so in the end i decided to go for rounded scrollbars... | 23:06 |
| ochosi | gry: uninstall notify-osd and install xfce4-notifyd? | 23:06 |
| nlsthzn | ochosi: k, thanks... I have gotten a work-around in a thread on the ubuntu forums I want to try out... cheers for the help :) | 23:07 |
| ochosi | nlsthzn: so what's the workaround? | 23:07 |
| nlsthzn | ochosi: not had a good look at it but it seems like modifying the theme - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859187 | 23:08 |
| ochosi | nlsthzn: thanks, i'll have a look | 23:10 |
| ochosi | nlsthzn: yeah, well that workaround is exactly what i was talking about. you'll get broken scrollbars (in terms of looks) | 23:14 |
| nlsthzn | ochosi: :( k... thanks (saves me the hassle) | 23:15 |
| ochosi | nlsthzn: also: you'll still have a 1px line from the window-manager on the outer right, so grabbing the scrollbar still won't work | 23:15 |
| nlsthzn | I guess there will always be somrthing no matter the distro :) | 23:15 |
| ochosi | furthermore: apps like gedit are gtk3 in oneiric, so the workaround for them would (need to) be different | 23:15 |
| ochosi | it's not distro-related, in this case it's window-manager-related i guess | 23:15 |
| ochosi | at least as far as i can see now | 23:16 |
| nlsthzn | k, I guess you understand what I mean :p | 23:17 |
| ochosi | you can try installing the overlay-scrollbars, maybe they work better for you | 23:17 |
| ochosi | (but they won't work in ff obviously) | 23:17 |
| nlsthzn | :) not to worry... I will survive as is | 23:19 |
| ochosi | good to hear ;) | 23:20 |
| ochosi | nlsthzn: in fact you can also use a theme like MurrinaBlue, its scrollbars work for your usecase (but it doesn't have a gtk3 theme, so it won't work for gtk3 apps) | 23:23 |
| Bukowskii | is there any easy way to edit the app menu | 23:25 |
| nlsthzn | ochosi: thanks... for now I will keep it looking good and only slightly annoyng :p | 23:26 |
| ochosi | Bukowskii: you can install an editor like alacarte (be sure not to install all recommended packages), then you should be able to easily edit it | 23:26 |
| Bukowskii | now would i use synaptic pkg manager or software center? | 23:27 |
| Bukowskii | or does it matter | 23:28 |
| ochosi | it doesn't really matter. but one thing i'd personally advise you to do is uncheck in synaptic > preferences > "consider recommended packages as dependencies" | 23:30 |
| ochosi | otherwise you'll install a lot of gnome-stuff with alacarte that you won't really need | 23:30 |
| ochosi | anyway, g2g now, byw | 23:30 |
| Bukowskii | thanks, have a good one | 23:30 |
| garret | Hello, is there someone who can help me with the install of NVIDIA 310M drivers in xubuntu 11.10. I have been working at this for a bit and followed all of the on-line help I can find with no success. | 23:42 |

| istok | last time it was something to do with the alsa mixer, but i set it up how i thought it was and no luck. | 23:54 |
