[05:21] Using Lubuntu 12.04 (yeah i know it's alpha, but i don't thikn this is related)... when i add custom sound events in xchat settings, they work fine, until I restart my laptop. At that point, the sound settings, and sound settings only, are gone. My other settings (auto join channels, auto hidding the userlist) are all intact [05:23] If you quit with xchat>quit or ctrl+q does it save it? [05:23] And that'd explain your cycleing. ;) [05:27] hold on [05:27] lemme try that, brb [05:29] weird, thats what it was [05:30] Bug #851104 [05:30] Launchpad bug 851104 in xchat (Ubuntu) "Xchat fails to save sound preference Beep."

I tried to modify *.menu file and created *.direcotry file, but it didn't work... [15:40] hey. pardon the question, but how do I enable automount or equalivent? [15:41] how do I make something happen when I insert removable media? [15:41] (btw, I fixed my problem from yesterday) [15:43] smkatz, automount would be handled by fstab [15:43] what are you trying to automount? [15:43] I'm giving this computer to a novice user [15:43] ok, but.. that doesn't tell me what you're trying to automount [15:43] I'm relatively novice myself, but not as novice as she [15:44] at the moment, cds and dvds [15:44] cd's and DVD's should automount [15:44] so.. where are they? [15:44] (i don't use much of either, but i'm pretty sure they do) [15:44] insert cd/open up FileManager, look on the left [15:44] ok [15:44] sorry, I assumed they didn't [15:45] it's ok, they just don't show up on the desktop [15:46] to unmount... simply open filemanager, right click the item, and choose "remove" [15:46] there might be a way you can get removable items to show on the desktopp, hang on [15:47] hmm, maybe not.. i thought there was.. [15:47] must be thinking of xfce [15:52] we have another problem first [15:52] ok.. [15:52] it's not actually mounting [15:52] but, it may be something funky with the drive [15:52] I thought I needed to reinstall the other day [15:52] thats likely (or the disk) [15:52] and out of the several isos I burned [15:52] does it mount a USB? [15:52] only one worked in terms of booting [15:53] yeah, sounds like your drive might be going fubar [15:53] that's really weird because it installed ok [15:53] ok [15:53] I'll try usb. thanks [15:53] well.. hardware can be very strange, and intermittent failures very difficult to diagnose [15:54] are USB drives automounting? [15:54] what file systems can it read? [15:54] ntfs ok? [15:54] yes [15:54] ntfs has been pretty well supported by Linux for several years [15:58] hi :) [15:58] o/ [15:59] how are you? ;) [16:00] yes it mounted [16:00] gave me a nice prompt asking me what to do [16:00] I did have a broken package system yesterday [16:00] I did fix it [16:00] but given that it can't boot off of cd either [16:00] ... [16:01] smile4ever, livin the dream. :) [16:01] smkatz, yeah, i think your cd drive is fubar, but thats my opinion [16:01] KM0201: your life dream? :) [16:01] can the cd boot on another machine [16:03] I'll test that. I know it can see it in another machine (the machine that burned it) [16:03] I also have a disk containing photos, it can't read that either [16:03] well, if the other machien boots it without issue, (or maybe try an unreladed 3rd machine if possible) [16:03] does the photo disk read on the other PC? [16:04] yes, it's a mac [16:04] but it reads it fine [16:04] then i'd say that pretty well narrows it down, the drive on the problem machine is fubar. [16:04] if it's a desktop, you can replace it for a song [16:05] man, skype works so well with 12.04 [16:05] i think a lot of it is this new laptop, the hardware jsut seems to be very linux compatible [16:05] other than the friggin wireless, which doesn;'t work in 11.10, but works great in 12.04 [16:05] btw, I have the ubuntu software center on lubuntu. is that going to be ok? [16:05] yeah, I really like usb wireless dongles [16:06] they work great [16:06] but if it works in 12.04, the patch will eventually get into a stable release [16:09] yeah, it should. [16:09] but i'm a gamer and live on the edge, so i'm just using 12.04 [16:09] lol [16:09] ubuntu software center should be fine on Lubuntu, why you'd want it, i don't know, but it should be ok. [16:10] for what it's worth, there's a far less bloated version on Lubuntu 12.04. [16:12] smkatz, http://imagebin.org/201217 [16:12] well lubuntu's software center was in ppa [16:12] which was defined as cutting edge [16:12] I was having trouble with the package system [16:12] so I was worried about third-party sources [16:12] it's installed by default on 12.04 (or at least right now it is, i can't imagine that changing) [16:12] I'm trying to set it up for a novice user [16:13] apt-get or synaptic is fine for me [16:13] right... i actually find synaptic pretty easy... but it's really easy when you know what you're looking for [16:13] when you don't, it can be a little daunting (that's what makes software center appealing, it simply shows available software, rather than every single package available [16:17] If I were to dual boot a system, would it see the ntfs drive in the file manager (the partition)? [16:17] yes [16:18] then you could do one of two things [16:18] simply click it and mount it (and thus access it) [16:18] or, edit fstab, and mount it automatically [16:18] can you recommend any good resources to learn linux? [16:19] editing the fstab for instance [16:19] smkatz: not to be a smart aleck, but just google.. ubuntu has a bazillion tutorials out there for different things.... for insance, google "editing fstab ubuntu" and the first link is an official ubuntu doc (thats what i used to learn how to do it) [16:20] sorry [16:20] rtfm [16:20] the open source community is so kind [16:20] I'm used to having to read books on things [16:20] :-) [16:20] no no, don't misunderstand, not saying RTFM.. [16:20] just saying, thats the best way to learn about this. [16:20] !manual [16:20] The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [16:20] or you can use that [16:21] it's based on 10.04, but a lot of it will still apply to 11.04 [16:22] smkatz: here's an example of an fstab entry to automount an NTFS partitoin http://paste.ubuntu.com/860699/ line 13 [16:26] I don't mind rtfm [16:26] smkatz: i never do..lol [16:27] smkatz: i just remember going into slackware/debian channels, and jackasses constantly saying RTFM! i think it's rude to tell people that... help them, or point them to the section of the manual that deals w/ their problem [16:28] right [16:29] or just sit on your hands [16:29] lol [16:29] debian is the worst...lol, those guys take jackass to a whole new level..lol [16:30] slackware can be pretty bad as well. [16:30] smkatz: you can also try the forums ubuntuforums.org which generally has very friendly folks there [16:30] and there's also linuxquestions.org/forums === smile4ever is now known as Guest81673 === smile4ever_ is now known as smile4ever [17:06] hi lads, I've got a second monitor, and trying to get it work with Lubuntu. Anyone has experience with this? As using the nvidia-settings doesn't really work well :( [17:07] The monitor is on, and I can get my mouse in the screne, but when I access the screen, the cursor becomes a black X, so it's not functioning properly :( [17:20] Timo_: how do you have nvidia-settings configured? I've not used a multi-monitor lubuntu system, but there's loads of options in the nvidia settings [17:31] Sentynel: 2 monitors, both on 'Seperate X screen' [17:32] Timo_: you almost certainly want the TwinView option, not separate x screens [17:32] Enable Xinerama is turned off, when I turn it on, it act really weird [17:32] mm okay [17:32] aaah oops :D [17:38] Sentynel: I got it to work now, thanks a lot! :D [17:38] Timo_: great [17:39] Timo_, what you did? [18:19] valdur55: use TwinView, instead of Seperate X Screen [18:22] Timo_, ok! [19:46] I just upgraded to lubuntu 11.10, and I got some strange errors [20:47] hello [20:48] howdy izzaboo [20:48] * izzaboo reading through FAQ real quick before asking my Q [20:49] not seeing it. anybody here have any suggestions for good GUI for altering CPU speed gov? [20:49] (in Lubuntu, of course) [20:51] well there's an lxpanel plugin to monitor it but not for altering afaik [21:38] Hi. Just reinstalled lubuntu. When I boot my laptop I see the lubuntu login screen, then I enter username and password, the screen turns black for half a second and then I see the login screen again. You know how I can fix this problem_ [21:39] What session do you select? Also, did you have caps/right pass? [21:40] I tried every session. before reinstallation I selected lxde and it worked, now not anymore. username and pass is correct [21:40] If I use false username or pass the login screen doesnt disappear for this half second [21:41] Do you see a "Lubuntu" session? [21:42] yes [21:42] tried it and it doesnt work....i tried every session [21:43] Right, drop to a TTY, login, and look at the logs in /var/log/ [21:43] user_: can you boot to a terminal? [21:43] I also reinstalled lubuntu again. but still same problem [21:43] how can I log in to terminal? [21:43] !tty [21:43] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [21:44] okay, see ya === _h4ckm3 is now known as h4ckm3 [22:03] re [22:04] So. Just updated and upgraded the system, even got the new linux image. still the same problem. logfile says [22:06] lxdm-binary pam_succeed_if(xdm:auth):requirement "user ingroup nopasswod login" not met by user "matt" [22:06] session opened for user matt [22:06] session closed for user matt [22:06] thats pretty much everything [22:09] I think I know... [22:16] me again, still doesnt work [22:19] user--: take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10522180&postcount=4 which points to your install media having as little as one byte of place [22:19] see if have an error in you log file. [22:23] sry, live distribution crashed [22:23] could it be, because I changed partitions before I reinstalled lubuntu? [22:23] I changed also the partition of /home [22:25] it should not know out things. as it is the only meaningful mention of your error I can find I'd be tempted to have a look in .xessions-errors to see if you also have a syntax error reported. [22:26] where is the file .xessions-errors? [22:26] I am assuming you did test the integrity of the installation media you are using [22:26] hmm, nope [22:26] should be in your home directory. [22:27] user433: then, when in the land of funny and wierd errors, that's always a good place to start :) [22:27] !md5 [22:27] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [22:27] .xessions-errors is emptz [22:27] if you have the live cd, boot with that and ask it to test itself. [22:28] * KM0201 never verifies md5 [22:28] .xinitrc: exec startxfce4 [22:28] is this right? does lubuntu use xfce4? [22:29] KM0201: some people never clean the led laser on their burners and wonder why they suddenly have problems. [22:29] lol, i never do that either [22:29] user433: yeah, parts of xfce4 are used, such as power management. [22:29] i don't think i've ever had a bad Ubuntu burn in the 6yrs I've used Ubuntu [22:30] KM0201: not have I - I always use CD-RW - forces the beast to burn at X1 speed :P [22:31] Oh. soz, yeah - once - when it burned at CD at X8 [22:31] i usually set my app to burn at the slowest speed possible, usually use cdr [22:31] hence me only ever using CD-RW for image burning. [22:31] usually i end up burning at 4x on most linux apps. [22:31] KM0201: there was a bug in 9.10 that didn't allow you to burn 'slow' and it was not the newest laptop in the world :) [22:32] hmm, don't really remembeer that far back [22:32] i was testing ubuntu a lot, but was really using pure debian by then [22:33] I've had to get some DVD-RW's for the CentoOS and Scientific Linux images. [22:33] well yeah, but.. when an image is over 700mb, that is to be expected [22:33] but, we digress. this is a chat for -offtopic :) [22:36] (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0) [22:36] problem_ [22:37] problem? [22:40] oh gosh...i definitely need the fucking laptop tomorrow [22:40] will reinstall once again [22:42] lol, poor fella [22:42] i don't do ATI, so i'm no help [22:45] KM0201: until he has confirmed his install media is okay - there is precious little anyone can do.... [22:45] phillw: affirmative [22:46] and using swear words on an official channel will earn him a warning and possible ban :( [22:47] i kinda dig the new software center in lubuntu 12.04 [22:47] i hate the one in Ubuntu, it's to slow and very very bloated [22:48] like everything lxde, Lubuntu's has a sexy simplicity to it. [22:48] KM0201: it is just a stripped down DE, no bloat. [22:48] yeah, but i'm referring more to it's software center, vs Ubuntu's. [22:49] i never used Ubuntu's, because it was so freaking slow/bloated, it was easier to use Synaptic [22:49] it is the rule for lubuntu :) [22:49] i was gonna remove it from Lubuntu 12.04 w/o trying it, figuring it was just the ubuntu package, but i decided to try it, and was pleasantly surprised. [22:50] hi, anybody can help me installing my soundchip? would be very happy [22:50] wumuckl: installing your sound chip... ? what is your "sound chip" or do you know? [22:51] apt has even less bloat ;) [22:51] wxl: i won't argue that... but i do like the software center for newbs [22:51] KM0201: agreed [22:52] with all the new unhappiness and bloat of unity, it would be one more thing to help steer people to Lubuntu [22:52] KM0201: its an ati ac 97 soundchip [22:52] wumuckl: pastebin the output of lspci [22:53] or just `lspci | grep -i audio` [22:53] lspci is fine, either one [22:54] 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 9100 IGP Host Bridge 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 9100 IGP PCI/AGP Bridge 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 4367 (rev 01) 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 4368 (rev 01) 00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 4365 (rev 01) 00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc SMBus (rev 03) 00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc D [22:54] ..

[22:57] um [22:58] lxde is the desktop environment, openbox is the window manager [22:58] technically you're welcome to change the default window manager but that's another story… [22:58] phillw: aw now see, the apps basket isn't working in the new software center [22:59] KM0201: stephan still has time to fix little bugs before beta2 :) [22:59] yeah.,, it's minor.
