| c_smith | hello, how to I get the media player related fn keys to work in Xubuntu? | 03:16 |
|---|---|---|
| c_smith | anyone? | 03:27 |
| c_smith | meh, guess I'll try anther DE. | 03:28 |
| c_smith | see if that fixed my problem. | 03:29 |
| GridCube | c_smith, they should work out of the box | 03:33 |
| c_smith | nope, they don't, tried 11.10, and not working, 12.04. same problem. | 03:33 |
| GridCube | if they not then try | 03:34 |
| GridCube | !keytouch | 03:34 |
| ubottu | Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/ - See !Keyboard for changing layouts. A list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity is available at http://ubottu.com/y/shortcuts | 03:34 |
| c_smith | ah, that might work, already familiar with keyboard shortcuts. | 03:34 |
| GridCube | most programs have terminal commands that you can pass while running | 03:35 |
| GridCube | media programs that is | 03:35 |
| c_smith | meh, but I'm looking to get the multimedia keys working for when I'm in a game and I wish to change the song in the background. | 03:36 |
| GridCube | well sleep time | 03:36 |
| c_smith | nn | 03:36 |
| GridCube | try keytouch c_smith | 03:36 |
| c_smith | I am. | 03:36 |
| GridCube | :) | 03:36 |
| c_smith | have a good sleep! :D | 03:36 |
| GridCube | good luck | 03:36 |
| GridCube | thanks | 03:36 |

| jarnos | My desktop (11.04) is corrupted. When I logged in, panel was gone. After starting panel, windows can be moved on top of it. | 08:56 |
| jarnos | Alt-tab does not work | 08:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | jarnos: anything in ~/,xsession-errors ? | 09:01 |
| well_laid_lawn | is xfwm running - ps aux | grep xfwm | 09:02 |
| well_laid_lawn | or xfdesktop ? | 09:02 |
| ouyes | hehe, hi all, I get a bug I am running xubuntu 12.04 under a thinkpad x201, and the temparature of the cpu sometimes will go up to 94, and sometimes overheating and shut down | 09:05 |
| well_laid_lawn | is the fan running? | 09:06 |
| jarnos | well_laid_lawn, there is something there in the errors file; mostly errors for gnome-volume-control-applet | 09:06 |
| well_laid_lawn | jarnos: why is that running? | 09:07 |
| jarnos | well_laid_lawn, I don't know. xfwm is not running | 09:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | jarnos: how are you starting xubuntu? and what's in the autostart? | 09:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | jarnos: nautilus needs the --no-desktop option to run in xfce | 09:11 |
| jarnos | well_laid_lawn, no nautilus running | 09:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | k | 09:12 |
| jarnos | well_laid_lawn, i start the usual way | 09:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | jarnos: in terminal what does xfwm & do ? | 09:14 |
| jarnos | well_laid_lawn, I can not type in terminal, but in virtual console | 09:14 |
| xubuntu730 | hello | 09:15 |
| jarnos | well_laid_lawn, command not found, did you mean xfwm4? | 09:16 |
| xubuntu730 | I'm installing xubuntu 11.10 and it stops, can anyone help me ? | 09:16 |
| jarnos | xubuntu730, maybe it is just slow. | 09:16 |
| jarnos | well_laid_lawn, in virtual console xfwm4 complains it can not open display | 09:17 |
| ouyes | jarnos, the fan is running under 4000 | 09:18 |
| xubuntu730 | 1 hour at the same state ! never see that. it stop at log-output -t ubiquity fontconfig-voodoo --auto --force --quiet | 09:18 |
| ouyes | rpm | 09:18 |
| well_laid_lawn | jarnos: yep it's xfwm4 and X needs to be running for it to work - by terminal I meant an emulator in X | 09:18 |
| well_laid_lawn | ouyes: I only have around 1200 rpm here - in a terminal top will showw if the cpu is working hard | 09:20 |
| xubuntu730 | Thanks Jarnos to answer my question. But i'm sorry, xubuntu install process realy stoped ! Do you think i could clic on "skip" button ? | 09:27 |
| xubuntu730 | Quit | 09:40 |
| jarnos | What is it that xubuntu has and lubuntu does not have, that makes xubuntu's network manager applet shoe mobile broadband devices automatically? | 10:32 |
| Marzatta | jarnos: Lubuntu is very amateurish. It lacks style and a concept. | 10:35 |
| TheSheep | Marzatta: can we stick to actually useful facts? | 10:36 |
| Sysi | jarnos: some networkmanager plugin perhaps, or modem-manager | 10:37 |
| Marzatta | TheSheep: we do exactly this. | 10:37 |
| Sysi | "useful" being non-offtopic | 10:38 |
| Sysi | jarnos: you've asked lubuntu guys? they should know.. | 10:39 |
| jarnos | Sysi, Well, I guess they would have included it in lubuntu, if they knew. | 10:40 |
| jarnos | Sysi, but I will. | 10:40 |
| Sysi | jarnos: two separate installations or desktop enviroment switch? | 10:42 |
| Sysi | they probably had *some* reason to not include whatever it is | 10:42 |
| jarnos | Sysi, well I tested pure Lubuntu 12.04 today and it did not have the feature. Here in 11.04 the feature is present in lubuntu login, but I have also xubuntu-desktop installed. | 10:44 |
| Sysi | beta can lack things or they can just fail | 10:45 |
| jarnos | Sysi, did xubuntu 10.04 have it? lubuntu 11.04 does not have it. | 10:45 |
| Sysi | no idea, not being sure what is "it" | 10:46 |
| Sysi | can be just newer kernel version or change in networkmanager | 10:47 |
| Marzatta | jarnos: Xubuntu shows broadband connections | 10:48 |
| knome | Marzatta, i've warned you before on attacking other derivatives/things. stop it now, we don't need need those comments. | 10:48 |
| Marzatta | knome: was not that political correct, or? | 10:48 |
| Sysi | you can also stop with other useless lines | 10:49 |
| Marzatta | Sysi: let's hope he will hear that | 10:49 |
| knome | Marzatta, it's the general atmosphere in the channel, we don't need sulky or otherwise negative comments | 10:50 |
| Marzatta | knome: real comments have nothing to do with autistic atmosphere and complexes. | 10:51 |
| Sysi | support channel | 10:52 |
| Marzatta | ah! | 10:53 |
| * Marzatta was posting on a wrong channel. | 10:53 | |
| knome | Marzatta, this is not something up for discussion, either here or -offtopic. | 10:55 |
| Marzatta | knome: yes, I agree. | 10:56 |
| knome | Marzatta, thanks. in that case you probably understand there will be consequences if you will keep on posting such comments | 10:57 |
| Marzatta | knome: son, you as a project leader need to be a bit more aggressive and less that political correct. esp. towards Lubuntu, coz it will be nothing for you to lead if things will continue that way in the future. | 11:00 |
| knome | it is not a competition | 11:01 |
| Marzatta | yes, but it does not look good in any cv. | 11:03 |
| rohm1 | On 12.04 beta 2 I was trying the new shortcuts; seems to work fine except Alt+F7 (maximize H+W) that does nothing; in xfce4-settings-editor, xfce4-jeyboard-shortcuts, /xfwm4/custom/<Alt>F7 is correctly set to maximize_window_key though | 11:11 |
| jarnos | Sysi, is anyone aware, if Xubuntu 12.04 can detect mobile broadband networks. Lubuntu 12.04 can not, even if it has the same network-manager-gnome, even if I additionally install network-manager-pptp-gnome | 11:11 |
| rohm1 | (testing in a VM) | 11:11 |
| rohm1 | no ok, it's captured by the main OS, sorry! | 11:13 |
| Sysi | jarnos: when I get a hold of 3G modem I can test, it can also be device specific | 11:15 |
| jarnos | Sysi, I installed xubuntu-desktop on top of lubuntu-desktop, and in 12.04 neither shows mobile broadband connections. | 12:01 |

| meisterluk | Hey guys. I'm having sound problems. Some time (a week?!) ago it worked, but suddenly it stopped... | 13:27 |
| meisterluk | My sound card gets detected, alsamixer channels are unmuted, I purged & reinstalled alsa and pulseaudio and followed instructions at http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Sound_Problembehebung [DE] Any ideas? | 13:28 |
| TheSheep | meisterluk: make sure the pulseaudio channel is unmuted | 13:40 |
| meisterluk | TheSheep: how do I do that? | 13:41 |
| TheSheep | meisterluk: open the mixer, select pulseaudio from the dropdown at the top | 13:43 |
| TheSheep | meisterluk: make sure all the channels are displayed and see if they are unmuted | 13:43 |
| meisterluk | TheSheep: Wow, that sounded like a good idea, but actually all the channel for all PulseAudio Mixers are unmuted... :-/ | 13:45 |
| meisterluk | hum. | 13:46 |
| meisterluk | nope, no way. :-( | 13:46 |
| meisterluk | Is it somehow strange that I don't have a /etc/init.d/alsa-utils daemon? | 13:47 |
| meisterluk | (fyi, alsa-utils is installed and up2date) | 13:49 |

| ubottu | xubuntu407: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 19:12 |
| xubuntu407 | can i upgrade my xubuntu-10.04 to the latest version available now | 19:14 |
| Unit193 | You'll have to wait until 12.04 is released before you can upgrade to it, otherwise you'll have to go 10.04 > 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 | 19:15 |
| xubuntu407 | the best way you say is to do fresh install to the latest version? | 19:17 |
| Sysi | he's not saying that even if it is so.. but you can only upgrade 10.04 to 10.10 or 12.04 | 19:19 |
| xubuntu407 | directly to 12.04? | 19:19 |
| Unit193 | Reinstall is best, but you can upgrade to that once it is released. | 19:20 |
| Sysi | LTS to LTS is supported, though 12.04 is still beta and supported at #ubuntu+1 | 19:21 |
| Sysi | upgrades aren't probably thoroughly tested yet | 19:21 |
| Mormaugus | can i use xubuntu 12.04 like OS right now? i have been tried ubuntu, but didn't work properly | 19:42 |
| GridCube | Mormaugus, as "can" you can, as should, then probably wait a few weeks | 19:43 |
| GridCube | stuff shouldnt massively change in the next few weeks but some might | 19:44 |
| jrgifford | Hey, quick question: Is the Xubuntu 12.04 release date currently set as the same date that "normal" Ubuntu is? (that is, April 26th) | 19:44 |
| GridCube | jrgifford, yes | 19:45 |
| jrgifford | i can't find a official release schedule wikipage or anything like that. | 19:45 |
| jrgifford | GridCube: thanks | 19:45 |
| Unit193 | Should be, maybhe a respin after. | 19:45 |
| Mormaugus | i can't wait, i'm using xubuntu about 1 mouth, it's the distro for me | 19:46 |
| GridCube | jrgifford, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule | 19:46 |
| jrgifford | GridCube: so is that release schedule for all official *buntu's? | 19:47 |
| GridCube | jrgifford, for oficial derivatives, yes | 19:47 |
| jrgifford | GridCube: gotcha, thanks! | 19:47 |
| GridCube | like ubuntu/kubuntu/lubuntu/xubuntu | 19:47 |
| meerkats | can I install k9copy, a kde program under xubuntu? | 20:43 |
| Sysi | of course, if it's in repositories | 20:45 |
| meerkats | Sysi, xubuntu and ubuntu repos are exactly the same, arent they? | 20:46 |
| Unit193 | Yep. | 20:46 |
| mongy | meerkats: means pulling down a lot of dependencies though. | 20:46 |
| meerkats | mongy, as of now im thinkin of dropping ubuntu for xubuntu, due to its low weight... | 20:47 |
| mongy | meerkats: not that it means much to me personally. #justsayin | 20:47 |
| mongy | meerkats: I (still) have problems burning plain data to a disc in brasero (unless I make an iso first) so I tried xfburn, great works ok, tried k3b - works great, tried gnomebaker - works great so decided on gnomebaker due to lightness and functions. | 20:49 |
| meerkats | i mainly use that k9copy to copy dvds onto a HDD | 20:51 |
| mongy | ah yes, k9copy is a nice tool. | 20:52 |
| meerkats | is there a x9copy? | 20:55 |
| mongy | what do you want the output to be ? | 20:56 |
| meerkats | mp4, but I want to choose quality, like 1gb per hour or 1.5gb per hour | 20:58 |
| meerkats | dont need to be 1 on 1 copy | 20:58 |

| sterling_ptech | So if I were to do "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" then install the nvidia driver and start the service again, it wouldn't work? | 21:23 |

| sterling_ptech | lightdm? | 21:23 |
| Sysi | yup | 21:24 |
| sterling_ptech | k | 21:24 |
| Sysi | you should use "Additional drivers" app | 21:24 |
| sterling_ptech | I've enabled the driver through that app and it still doesn't recognize that I have another display. | 21:24 |
| Sysi | what doesn't, nvidia or xfce settings? | 21:25 |
| sterling_ptech | Neither. | 21:25 |
| sterling_ptech | I was considering just modifying the xorg.conf file altogether and seeing if that works. | 21:26 |
| meerkats | how does xubuntu lists apps? classic gnome way or more like unity? | 22:40 |
| meerkats | there are lots of options I only recognize due to the icon and the place where I stored the symlink | 22:40 |
| TheSheep | meerkats: it creates the menu from the .desktop fiels in /usr/share/applications | 22:42 |
| TheSheep | files* | 22:42 |
| meerkats | TheSheep, for the noob: is that like gnome? | 22:43 |
| meerkats | or will I still have to open a dash and type letters? | 22:43 |
| TheSheep | no, you select from a menu | 22:44 |
| meerkats | TheSheep, what is the xubuntu icon? a rabbit? | 22:46 |
| TheSheep | a mouse | 22:47 |
| TheSheep | it's based on the xfce's icon | 22:47 |

| riddlebox | hello all, I have a quick question, can you upgrade xubuntu to new versions like you do with ubuntu itself? or are you supposed to do a fresh install? | 23:52 |
| magerquark | you can upgrade xubuntu | 23:53 |
| riddlebox | sweet | 23:53 |
| magerquark | i would recommend a fresh install nevertheless | 23:53 |
| riddlebox | really my wife has been upgrading her ubuntu laptop for 3 years now and never had a problem | 23:54 |
| magerquark | as long as you only use standard-programs, there should not be any problem | 23:54 |
| meerkats | thats not my case... | 23:55 |
| magerquark | as soon as you start optimising your os, i would recommend a fresh install | 23:55 |
| meerkats | how many times have you been told that xubuntu looks ugly? | 23:55 |
| riddlebox | I have never looked at it why? | 23:56 |
| meerkats | curiosity: 2 persons on other channels said that when I suggested: Im moving to xubuntu | 23:56 |
| riddlebox | magerquark, I really dont do to much customizing or anything my wallpaper usually stays default too | 23:57 |
| magerquark | riddlebox, than go for xubuntu | 23:57 |
| magerquark | but why do you want to change from ubuntu to xubuntu | 23:57 |
| magerquark | ? | 23:57 |
| riddlebox | plus right now I am using xfce on fedora right now | 23:57 |
| meerkats | unity sucks and renderms my craptop unusable, gnome's fallback used by ubuntu sucks (incomplete) | 23:58 |
| meerkats | when ubuntu restarts supporting a new version of gnome i may move back | 23:58 |
| riddlebox | magerquark, I havent used ubuntu since unity came out, I have bounced back and forth from ubuntu,fedora,arch,slackware for years but I do like apt-get | 23:59 |
| meerkats | i dont know arch and slackware | 23:59 |
| riddlebox | meerkats, on my very very fast laptop in unity I click on firefox it takes 10 seconds to open! | 23:59 |
