| LjmChannel | Anyone else having sound issues on Xubuntu 11.04? Also, does anyone know how to fix not having any sound? | 03:17 |
| gry1 | ... | 03:28 |
| holstein | LjmChannel: i can really just help troubleshoot it... if you havent applied all upgrades, do that first | 04:16 |
| holstein | then, you can try a kernel or alsa version one way or the other | 04:16 |
| LjmChannel | which upgrades? | 04:32 |
| LjmChannel | the updates for Xubuntu or other upgrades? | 04:33 |
| holstein | LjmChannel: the OS in general | 04:33 |
| holstein | the system upgrades... whatever they are... sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade for example | 04:34 |
| LjmChannel | the sudo apt-get update I have tried, I'll try sudo apt-get upgrade right now | 04:34 |
| LjmChannel | 0 new 0 updated | 04:35 |
| holstein | LjmChannel: you dont have to do it that way, you can use the gui, or synaptic, or whatever, but you need to run both parts | 04:36 |
| LjmChannel | so run update and upgrade? | 04:36 |
| LjmChannel | still no sound | 04:40 |
| holstein | LjmChannel: it wont be a 'magic command' that just works.. you'll have to troubleshoot, and *maybe* get sound going | 04:41 |
| LjmChannel | yeah, I figured on that. | 04:41 |
| holstein | for me, i usually just try a few live CD's... such as the last LTS (10.04) and the upcoming one | 04:42 |
| holstein | that at least gives me some information about what will work | 04:42 |
| LjmChannel | do you know the command for the list that has your sound card on it? I had it earlier and forgot to save it. | 04:43 |
| holstein | LjmChannel: lspci, or lsusb | 04:44 |
| holstein | however... the ones you want are... | 04:44 |
| holstein | aplay -l | 04:44 |
| holstein | arecord -l | 04:44 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 04:45 |
| LjmChannel | I have that one bookmarked. I found it just before I had to run to the store, hence why I didn't reply sooner. lol | 04:46 |
| LjmChannel | Live [SB Live! Value [CT4871]], device 2: emu10k1 <<<< That's what it says I have so it is reading it. Just no sound. lol | 04:47 |
| holstein | if you see something in... | 04:48 |
| holstein | aplay -l | 04:48 |
| holstein | then, you are *very* likely to get sound | 04:48 |
| holstein | do you? | 04:48 |
| LjmChannel | no sound | 04:50 |
| LjmChannel | what I posted above is what I see in there but there's no sound coming from my speakers. | 04:51 |
| holstein | LjmChannel: open a terminal and run this command | 04:51 |
| holstein | aplay -l | 04:51 |
| holstein | does it list *anything* ? | 04:51 |
| holstein | you see sb live? | 04:52 |
| holstein | that line you posted? | 04:52 |
| LjmChannel | yes | 04:52 |
| holstein | if so... open a terminal, and run | 04:52 |
| holstein | alsamixer | 04:52 |
| holstein | gently tweak *everything* | 04:52 |
| holstein | dont trust the labels | 04:52 |
| holstein | you can hit the F5 key to show all settings | 04:52 |
| holstein | meke sure you have the speakers hooked up and all that | 04:53 |
| LjmChannel | open alsamixer and it shows this.. Card: Intel 82801BA-ICH2 | 04:54 |
| LjmChannel | could be the issue | 04:54 |
| LjmChannel | I'm going to try something really quick. I will be back in a minute. Thank you for your help holstein | 05:15 |
| vithos | how do i change the graphical login screen's resolution? | 06:44 |
| vithos | nm i finally found it | 06:51 |
| _Pete_ | where and how? | 06:53 |
| vithos | http://askubuntu.com/questions/73804/wrong-login-screen-resolution | 06:59 |
| _Pete_ | ok thx | 06:59 |
| vithos | tested working. unfortunately the background image gets tiled instead of stretched but i'm not going to bother correcting that | 06:59 |
| pacy__ | nice thanks vithos | 07:03 |

| Kurdistan | I know it is possible to create one. | 10:43 |
| Kurdistan | but is it possible to move one down? | 10:43 |
| tosmo | hi, where can i put a permanent modeline for my monitor? i know how to do it ad-hoc with xrandr, but i want to have it permanent (for some reason the monitor doesn't correctly report its native resolution) | 10:49 |
| tosmo | back in the good old times there would have been a monitor section in XF86Config... | 10:49 |
| tosmo | ;) | 10:49 |
| TheSheep | Kurdistan: yes, just unlock it and drag it by the handles | 10:54 |
| TheSheep | tosmo: xorg.conf still works if you create it | 10:54 |
| Kurdistan | TheSheep, thx. it was so simple. haha. :P | 10:55 |
| tosmo | do i then have to roll the whole series of monitor, device, screen, input section? | 10:55 |
| tosmo | or is there a way that i just "augment" what xorg recognizes automatically | 10:56 |
| TheSheep | !xorg.conf | 11:01 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 11:01 |
| TheSheep | tosmo: it will generate it for you | 11:01 |
| TheSheep | tosmo: also, you only put in there the sections that you want overriden | 11:02 |
| tosmo | TheSheep: problem seems to be that the monitor isn't recognized at all. see first lines in http://pastebin.com/vxFB0qQW | 11:15 |
| tosmo | is there a point in defining a Monitor section "<default monitor>" or wouldn't that be read (would somehow make sense for "default") | 11:16 |

| pitlimit | Can anyone tell me how I might solve this problem? | 17:05 |
| pitlimit | I know I can use xfce, but... it's not as nice looking | 17:05 |
| musa | hi, i'm trying to install xubuntu 11.10 in a laptop with a graphic card "Silicon Motion LynxEM+ SM712" but after booting livecd i get blanl screen. I have used in boot vga=791 | 17:09 |
| musa | Which option must i enter for my graphic card? | 17:09 |
| mongy | try 'xforcevesa' | 17:12 |
| mongy | pitlimit, if you want themes and wallpapers look at xfce-look.org and also gnome-look.org, you can use gtk2/3 themes as far as the appearance goes, but the window manager uses xfwm, unless you install metacity or compiz/emerald | 17:14 |
| pitlimit | i've decided to go back to unity | 17:14 |
| pitlimit | it just ... works | 17:14 |
| pitlimit | as much as i hate it :) | 17:14 |
| mongy | xubuntu 'just works' | 17:15 |
| pitlimit | mongy not for me | 17:15 |
| pitlimit | i like the look and feel of xubuntu a LOT | 17:15 |
| pitlimit | but it keeps freezing | 17:15 |
| mongy | pitlimit, maybe we can resolve it. | 17:15 |
| pitlimit | i would love that | 17:15 |
| pitlimit | when i right click on the desktop nothing happens | 17:15 |
| mongy | it was unity freezing that pushed me to xfce :) | 17:15 |
| pitlimit | and then everything freezes | 17:15 |
| pitlimit | i hate unity but i also don't want to deal with compatibility issues | 17:16 |
| mongy | does middle clcking desktop work? | 17:16 |
| pitlimit | what is a middle click? | 17:16 |
| mongy | scrollwheel button | 17:16 |
| pitlimit | Oh, I don't have that on my laptop | 17:16 |
| pitlimit | When I try to open home, I get failed to open directory | 17:17 |
| mongy | how did you install it | 17:17 |
| pitlimit | repository | 17:17 |
| mongy | after installing unity? so its not a fresh install ? | 17:18 |
| pitlimit | no I've had ubuntu for a while now | 17:18 |
| pitlimit | apparently upon an upgrade unity was just... there | 17:18 |
| mongy | I avoid upgrades at all costs.. but not everyone will/can I guess. | 17:19 |
| pitlimit | eh I should have opted for the LTS version | 17:19 |
| pitlimit | too late | 17:19 |
| mongy | use the xubuntu livecd and try it out see if it freezes. | 17:19 |
| pitlimit | hm | 17:19 |
| pitlimit | my laptop took some ... very special modifications to make ubuntu to work properly | 17:20 |
| pitlimit | I'm thinking I won't go the livecd route | 17:20 |
| pitlimit | it's not freezing now | 17:20 |
| pitlimit | the only thing not seeming to work properly is the Home folder | 17:21 |
| pitlimit | it won't open my home | 17:21 |
| mongy | from a run prompt or shell, run exo-open --launch FileManager %u | 17:23 |
| pitlimit | xubuntu has the look / feel i want :) | 17:24 |
| pitlimit | Okay, I'll try thatg | 17:24 |
| pitlimit | what is the %u | 17:25 |
| mongy | user variable | 17:26 |
| mongy | means, you | 17:26 |
| pitlimit | i typed this exactly: "exo-open --launch FileManager %u" | 17:26 |
| pitlimit | I got: | 17:26 |
| pitlimit | Failed to open "%u". Error stating file "...." No such file or directory | 17:26 |
| pitlimit | .... is my home dir concatenated with /%u | 17:26 |
| mongy | just type 'thunar' then | 17:26 |
| pitlimit | k | 17:27 |
| pitlimit | it pulled up my home | 17:27 |
| pitlimit | directory | 17:27 |
| pitlimit | but now everything is sluggish again | 17:27 |
| xubuntu784 | hi ! | 17:28 |
| mongy | so, from your app menu - accessories, left click hold File Manager and drag to desktop, then right click it and edit launcher, and replace exo-open etc with thunar | 17:28 |
| mongy | I really don't see what could be making it sluggish, xubuntu is a lot lighter on resources than unity. | 17:28 |
| pitlimit | shoudl I mark run in terminal | 17:30 |
| pitlimit | aw yay that fixed it! | 17:30 |
| mongy | you could run it from a terminal to see any error messages | 17:30 |
| pitlimit | I think that was why it was sluggish | 17:30 |
| pitlimit | It was searching | 17:30 |
| pitlimit | Where can I find my keyboard shortcuts? | 17:30 |
| pitlimit | I've been looking forever | 17:31 |
| mongy | its not a terminal program, I dont see how that would fix it, but if it did .. hmm ok | 17:31 |
| pitlimit | No, that did not | 17:31 |
| pitlimit | changing it to thunar did | 17:31 |
| Sysi | pitlimit: settings -> keyboard and settings -> window manager | 17:31 |
| pitlimit | I don't have keyboard and settings | 17:31 |
| pitlimit | I do have Keyboard Input Methods | 17:32 |
| pitlimit | nm | 17:32 |
| pitlimit | If I go to settings after settings, we're good | 17:32 |
| pitlimit | I'm very happy with what I've seen so far | 17:32 |
| pitlimit | The clean interface and non-bulky feel ... are great | 17:33 |
| pitlimit | Gnome without Unity was very bulky | 17:33 |
| pitlimit | Plus, Unity was messing things up even when you logged in with classic on 11.04 | 17:33 |
| pitlimit | oops 11.10 | 17:34 |
| pitlimit | I want to create a shortcut to terminal... is the program xfterm4? | 17:37 |
| pitlimit | I also see xterm and x-terminal-emulator | 17:37 |
| Sysi | xfce4-terminal if you got it installed | 17:39 |
| pitlimit | Wait... I need to install terminal? | 17:39 |
| pitlimit | sorry - I've always just used gnome | 17:39 |
| pitlimit | I don't really understand all of this stuff | 17:39 |
| mongy | pitlimit, shortcut is in accessories | 17:39 |
| pitlimit | mongy: Yes, I found it | 17:40 |
| pitlimit | but I need to enter a Command and I'm not sure which one is correct | 17:40 |
| pitlimit | Is it xfterm4? | 17:40 |
| mongy | as sysi said | 17:40 |
| pitlimit | k | 17:41 |

| joseph^ | is there a button i can presss? | 21:10 |
| holstein | joseph^: not sure actually | 21:10 |
| joseph^ | ok | 21:10 |
| holstein | im leaning towards it being something im just not used to | 21:10 |

| holstein | but its quite un-natural | 21:10 |
| joseph^ | hopefully there will be a button to switch focus i guess | 21:10 |
| joseph^ | im not sure if its new or what, thanks for understanding | 21:10 |
| mongy | middle button titlebar brings up windows behind current, if that helps? | 21:15 |

| LjmChannel | holstein, still no luck with my SB Live sound on Xubuntu. Now running Xubuntu 11.10 | 23:34 |
| holstein | LjmChannel: ? | 23:36 |
| holstein | like, its working in 11.10? | 23:36 |
| holstein | and wasnt before? | 23:36 |
| LjmChannel | no, it's not working in 11.10 and it wasn't working before in 11.04 | 23:36 |
| holstein | anyways.. i would try ubuntu 10.04 live, and also ubuntu 12.04, as well as some other live CD's and see what kernel/alsa version works | 23:36 |
| holstein | you can try the 11.04 version live | 23:37 |
| holstein | you can try other avenues too, since this is not xubuntu related specifically | 23:37 |
| holstein | you should run aplay -l and google around for a bug relating to that hardware and 11.10 | 23:37 |
| LjmChannel | it wasn't working in 11.04 either and I still had no sound when I was running 10.04 before upgrading. | 23:38 |
| holstein | LjmChannel: OK, so you can search for a bug relating to your hardware and *any* version of ubuntu | 23:38 |
| holstein | i usually have a knoppix live CD around for this kind of thing | 23:39 |
| holstein | i would reference http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Creative_Labs as well | 23:50 |
| holstein | if its a desktop, just get a sound card that works... its just too easy now to find cheap/free audio cards | 23:51 |
| holstein | and nothing about *any* SB card would make me lose any sleep over disabling or removing it | 23:51 |
