FusionXI don't know what happened but I can no longer boot into ubuntu and booting into recovery console says "whiptail command not found" and now most of the commands don't work (like sudo).00:50
FusionXusing normal boot, the screen goes blank00:50
FusionXIs it possible to repair or restore xubuntu as in Windows (follow-up to previous question)?00:53
knomewhat were you trying to do?00:54
FusionXI don't know. After closing the laptop's lid, it went to suspended mode and after that it showed up some weird (looking, never seen before in previous versions) xscreensaver log-in dialog00:56
FusionXand after that things started behaving oddly00:56
FusionXtext in some of the sites that were open vanished00:56
FusionXduring shutdown, pop-up dialogs had weird fonts00:56
FusionXand it didn't even shutdown itself properly00:56
FusionXI did alt+f2 and tried "sudo shutdown -r now" and it said sudo command is not recognized00:57
FusionX(while still in bash)00:57
knomedid you hard boot?00:57
FusionXyup00:57
FusionXshould I just reinstall, or can I recover it?00:58
knomei'm not sure. there's no one easy way to recover00:59
knomereinstalling is probably easier, but it would be nice to know why the system went to that state00:59
FusionXyeah00:59
FusionXI was installing a lot of softwares, but none that could interfere with the system. it went weird particularly after waking up from suspended state01:00
knomei suppose you could google "ubuntu" and your pc model01:06
knomeerr, and maybe "suspend" :)01:07
xubuntuTHEBESThello im new in linux and after a day of trying diferent distros on my laptop (debian<-didbt worked :/, ubuntu,kubuntu and a few more) i can say that xubuntu was the best option!01:17

broglingdm has suddenly stopped showing the login screen and I am presented with a broken xfce4 desktop (no window manager). how can i fix that? I'm on natty12:36
TheSheep"suddenly"?12:37
TheSheepwhat did you do just before that happened?12:37
broglinapt-get update && apt-get upgrade12:38
broglinbut i think that only changed the display driver :S12:38
TheSheepbroglin: what driver exactly?12:39
broglinTheSheep: i don't remember. something about intel chipset12:40
broglinoddly, when i run DISPLAY=:0.0 xfwm4, the login screen appears. but when i log in, the window manager exits and things are broken again12:40
broglinTheSheep: ok, it was xserver-xorg-video-intel:i38612:42
broglinare there alternatives to gdm that I could try?12:45
chaudhryhello guys i have two audio chips in my pc one built in(dont work) and one is riptide and i have set it up but still cant hear any sound14:23
chaudhryi have 2 options for every thing alsa and pulse audio mixer14:24
tkennedyis it possible to auto resize windows in Xubuntu 11.10 like they do with Unity?14:30
ragnarokThe kmess package in ubuntu is buggy. It has a disconnection bug which was fixed in a recent version of Kmess. Please update it.15:32
Myrttihave you filed a needs-packaging bug?15:33
Myrttialso, crossposting isn't polite15:33
ragnarokno15:34
ragnaroki have no account15:34
ragnaroki just inform you15:34
Myrttiwell informing it here will do squat15:34
ragnarokthis is an old bug15:34
PiciOkay? Our channels aren't a replacement for logging bugs. Its very quick to create a launchpad account to log the necessary information.15:35
ragnaroki am lazy15:36
ragnaroki will just use amsn15:36
ragnarokwho cares15:36
ragnaroki never liked ubuntu15:36
Myrttieh15:37
Myrttiyou know what, why would I raise a finger for something that I don't even know what it's used for. it doesn't come preinstalled in either Ubuntu or Xubuntu. if you want it fixed, in the words of all mighty Wikipedia, file the necessary bugs yourself.15:38
ragnaroknah15:38
ragnarokarchlinux ftw15:38
PiciHow rude.15:40
genii-aroundPici: I already told them in #k to ubuntu-bug kmess15:41

chaudhryhello i have 2 audio chips and i cant hear any sound on any player or in any service.my mobo integrated dont works but riptide card do works fine on ubuntu but not xubuntu :(18:33
chaudhryany body18:33
baizoncheck your audio settings18:34
chaudhrychecked it there were two mixers alsa and pulse audio tried both but of no use.18:34
baizonare all audio channels enabled?18:35
baizonmute is off?18:35
chaudhryyes18:35
chaudhrya guy had same prob he said actually xubuntu detects both and uses both at same time something like that18:38
chaudhrybut he forgot solution18:38
Sysichaudhry: install pacucontrol18:39
Sysi*pavucontrol18:39
akoviai am looking for a way to make a shortcut to switch my audio output device under sound preferences but not sure where to start18:40
hobgoblinchaudhry: I've had to turn off the integrated in BIOS in the past - but I had no need for both cards18:40
chaudhryhttps://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/17609118:40
chaudhryheres the link for guy who had same prob18:40
akoviatyvm, checking it out18:41
chaudhryi also dont need both cards cox one dont work18:41
chaudhrysysi i installed it before but what now?18:42
Sysiset correct sound card with it18:42
chaudhryhow to open it?i mean where is its menu?18:42
akoviaok, not exactly what i need. I'm using both cards in my system. one is for digital out for my home theater, the other the internal SC for headphones18:42
Sysi"pulseaudio settings"18:43
akoviai do it manually now by just selecting the appropriate SC output under sound preferences and just want to find the command line alternative for the same action18:44
Sysiakovia: sound preferences being xfce4-mixer or pavucontrol?18:44
chaudhrysysi i am sorry i am newbie cant find it still i tried emulator but it said too many arguments18:45
akoviahmm18:45
akoviai think both are present on my taskbar but not sure how to distinguish18:46
Sysichaudhry: menu -> sound&video, shouldn't be that much items18:46
akoviai have 2 speaker icons on my taskbar, the one i use gives the sound preferences or mute when i r-click18:47
Sysido you switch device from drop-down menu?18:48
akoviathe other has mixer, and some xfce panel options so i'm guessing that is the xfce-mixer one18:48
akoviai click the sound prefernces and there is a tabbed interface with...18:48
akoviasnd fx, input, output, hdw, applications18:49
akoviai go to output and select the one i want18:49
chaudhrythanks sysi i got it configured.now should i uninstall alsa mixer?18:49
Sysisounds like pavucontrol18:49
akoviacool18:50
akoviathat's a start18:50
akoviano man page =/18:50
=== phunyguy_ is now known as phunyguy_work
Sysichaudhry: you can set panel applet to launch pavucontrol if you want, you can't remove alsa if you want any sound and you don't need/should remove xfce4-mixer18:51
Sysiakovia: "man pulseaudio"18:51
chaudhrykindly tell me how to set panel applet to launch pavucontrol18:52
Sysiif you have sound applet in panel, you can choose what to launch in it's preferences18:53
akoviaok, i scanned the man page but nothing is standing out as to how to send a command to switch the output device. If you have an idea that would be much appreciated but I don't mind getting help from the pulseaudio ppl if not18:55
chaudhrythanks man.....its why i am in love with linux.God bless you all18:57
Sysiakovia: yeah, I don't really know (it's probably done with pacmd)18:57
akoviai think i found what i needed now on the ubuntu forums. thanks so much for getting me in the right direction!18:58
phunyguy_workCan anyone tell me where in libvirt you would set the dns suffix for guest VMs?19:00
sidneyOn my system i have a drive to store cd's and video what fs is good19:32
sidneyit NTFS @ present but no need to share with Ms19:32
Sysishouldn't be problems with NTFS, if you want to be really linux, ext419:33
sidneythanks19:35
phunyguy_workI say FAT1619:36
phunyguy_workok sorry, I'm done trolling.19:36
SysiI wish exfat worked on linux19:37
CiPiSysi, why? Xubuntu sees all the partitions, regardless of filesystem. :)19:40
CiPiBut is best to use Ext4 for the Linux partition.19:41
CiPiAnd is bettor to use an Ext4 separate partition, don`t use it side by side windows in the same partition.19:41
genii-aroundSysi: https://launchpad.net/~relan/+archive/exfat19:41
TheSheepCiPi: why not?19:42
CiPiTheSheep, I see is working a bit better in ext4. i don`t know why.19:42
TheSheepCiPi: what do you mean by better exactly?19:42
CiPiSpeed is one.19:43
Sysigenii-around: oh cool19:43
TheSheepCiPi: what's the difference in your measurments?19:43
Sysintfs-3g shouldn't be very slow but ext4 is faster, though that doesn't matter so much on data storage19:44
CiPiI didn`t make tests on SSD, now i have a SSD, on this one I don`t see the difference, but on an HDD was ext4 with a fiew MB better.19:45
TheSheepCiPi: MB/s? on what operations? copying? large or small files?19:45
* TheSheep is curious on how one would compare that19:46
SysiTheSheep: probably everything, I guess it's most visible with big files in basic usage19:46
CiPiLarge and small files. And the OS was slow on NTFS, on ext4 was quicker.19:46
Sysihow do you install linux on ntfs, wubi?19:47
CiPiOn stability I didn`t see a difference.19:47
CiPiBut on speed it is.19:47
Sysiwubi has some own overhead that is't actually because of ntfs19:47
CiPiAnyway, I`m using a separate partition with dual boot. The Linux partition is Ext4 and Win is NTFS.19:50
Sysiand he asked about data storage partition19:50
CiPiData storage I`m using NTFS because of windows.19:51
CiPiWindows dozn`t recognize ext4, so...19:51
TheSheepCiPi: there are drivers for windows that let it read and even write ext filesystems19:51
TheSheepCiPi: not sure if they support the ext4 extensions19:52
pteague_workis there a way to figure out what i386 packages i have installed? i'm getting sick of architecture dependency issues i can't seem to solve19:52
CiPiYes, but is no need to put all the things inside. With Xfce i`m using more Linux than Windows.19:52
prouterHi, i wonder can anyone help?  I installed xubuntu but the fonts are HUGE - I'm sure there's an easy fix?19:52
CiPiprouter, Settings/settings manager/apparences/fonts19:55
prouterCiPi: I only have settings/settings editor - no settings manager?19:57
prouterand there's no appearance/fonts in settings editor :S19:57
CiPiYou using Xubuntu or what?19:57
CiPiYou don`t have apparence ?19:57
prouterYes, I installed xubuntu-desktop from unity19:58
prouterno appearance19:58
CiPiDo here on irc.19:58
CiPi/exec -o xfce4-appearance-settings19:58
prouterhold, wait found appearance19:58
prouteryes, that's it fixed Cipi thanks19:59
CiPiUr welcome.19:59
CiPipteague_work, I don`t get what you want to say.20:04
CiPiI think is this...20:04
CiPiOpen terminal and writhe - dpkg --get-selections20:05
CiPidpkg --get-selections20:05
CiPiWhis you want to see, or ?20:05
CiPiThis...20:06
pteague_workCiPi, thanks, that seems to be it... i think these were all added due to the *-restricted-extras wanting to install 32bit packages for adobe flash when the 64bit is already available >.<20:07
CiPiNice.20:08
CiPiTo see somthing specific try:20:08
CiPidpkg --get-selections | grep core20:09
CiPiOr | grep what you want.20:09
CiPidpkg --get-selections | grep flash20:10
CiPi:)20:10
pteague_workjust did `apt-get purge $( dpkg --get-selections | /bin/grep i386 | awk -F' ' '{print $1}' )`20:11
CiPiI didn`t know that trick. :))20:11
pteague_worki'm too lazy to cut & paste sometimes ;o)20:12
CiPiNu pot fara ala.20:16

akoviai made a simple script to switch between pulseaudio output devices and it seems to work as it switches the radio buttons in the gui, but the actual audio doesn't switch without using the gui implicitly.22:17
akoviahere is the cmd: pacmd set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1e.2.analog-stereo22:17
akoviajust wondering if there is a difference in the way the gui issues the command22:19
