| xubuntu880 | necesito ayuda | 03:10 |
| xubuntu880 | hello | 03:12 |
| jgmdev | hola | 03:17 |
| jgmdev | creo que deberias usar el canal de xubuntu-es | 03:17 |
| jgmdev | xubuntu880, aunque por otra parte ese canal esta casi vacio | 03:19 |
| orangeninja | how can i tell if my /swap partition is mounted? It show 0 of 5105MB used in a panel item right now. | 03:25 |
| jgmdev | free -m -t | 03:26 |
| xubuntu880 | so i can speak english | 03:26 |
| xubuntu880 | i have a problem with efi in xubuntu | 03:27 |
| xubuntu880 | dont boot | 03:27 |
| orangeninja | yep, swap: 5105 total, 0 used, 5106 free | 03:29 |
| orangeninja | so how do I mount it? | 03:29 |
| jgmdev | well linux doesnt uses swap unless it is really necessary so dont worry if it reads 0 used | 03:30 |
| jgmdev | in any case the command to mount a swap partition is swapon /dev/to_mount | 03:31 |
| jgmdev | but it seems you already have it mounted | 03:31 |
| orangeninja | that might be the case, I am using 4gb ram in this laptop. but I have noticed hangs here and there with mozilla on youtube sometimes so that's what made me think about it. | 03:32 |
| jgmdev | thats mostly due to flash player | 03:32 |
| jgmdev | 4gigs is a lot so dont expect the swap to be used if you are doing light work on that laptop | 03:33 |
| orangeninja | ok, just overzelouse I guess. | 03:33 |
| jgmdev | maybe the video card drivers are the cause of crashes | 03:33 |
| orangeninja | yeah, so far pretty light just 4 or 5 tabs open at a time. | 03:34 |
| orangeninja | no crash, just a few seconds stutter. | 03:34 |
| orangeninja | what is the nvidia package I need to check? I am using one of there mobile cards 800m I think' | 03:35 |
| jgmdev | I have tested intel, nvidia and ati and so far intel has the most compatible drivers, then ati and nvidia in my experience with flash player and videos | 03:35 |
| jgmdev | there are about 3 nvidia packages nvidia-96 for older hardware, nvidia-173 fore newer and nvidia-current I think nvidia-current should work for you but I'm not sure | 03:44 |
| jgmdev | usually the additional drivers application should assist you on that | 03:45 |
| jgmdev | System Menu -> Settings -> Additional Drivers | 03:46 |
| orangeninja | laptop is abot 4 years old. hp dv6775us | 03:56 |
| jgmdev | the best bet is to use Additional Drivers application since it automatically checks on a database a installs the correct propietary binary driver | 04:02 |
| jgmdev | you can also go to nvidia.com and download the driver to install manually but kernel upgrade will break it forcing you to reinstall the driver from the terminal | 04:03 |
| xuserx | hi | 04:15 |
| xuserx | will xubuntu 12.04 use xfce4.10? | 04:16 |
| xuserx | :-D | 04:16 |
| xuserx | xfce 4.10 will be release on April 28th, 2012. | 04:17 |
| Artemis3 | xuserx, i don't think so, but there is a ppa around... | 04:25 |
| xuserx | ok | 04:25 |
| ball | Is there any way to get more information about what Xubuntu is doing while it displays the knight-rider/cylon thing on ths splash screen? I have some data I'd like to rescue and it doesn't look as though it's ever going to get past that. | 04:31 |
| Artemis3 | i would remove "splash" from the grub line, then you could also remove "quiet". | 04:34 |
| Artemis3 | else use the recovery option | 04:34 |
| Artemis3 | just chose boot normaly when the menu appears, it happens to not use splash/quiet | 04:35 |
| ball | Artemis3: I've no idea how to get to that. I tried hot-keying to a text console, but they're not responding to keystrokes. | 04:38 |
| ball | :-( | 04:38 |
| Artemis3 | reboot and hold SHIFT, you should see the grub menu, choose the recovery option | 04:39 |
| Artemis3 | after that will come a menu, pick the first choice (iirc) recume normally or something to those lines | 04:39 |
| orangeninja | thank for the help guys and jgmdev ! have a good one. | 04:40 |
| jgmdev | bye :) | 04:40 |
| ball | I never got to the grub menu, but I hit the reset button on the PC and it's now back at the Xubuntu desktop | 04:41 |
| ball | Next thing I should do is backup the photos I uploaded from a camera this morning. | 04:42 |
| ball | Thanks for the help Artemis3 | 04:42 |
| Artemis3 | when you reboot the machine, you should press shift and keep it pressed until you see the grub menu | 04:42 |
| Artemis3 | pick recovery, when the menu comes, there is an option for fsck all disks, maybe you should do that... | 04:43 |
| ball | I tried holding down shift, but didn't get the menu. That may be because of my keyboard though. | 04:44 |
| ball | It's a USB keyboard from an old CRT iMac | 04:44 |
| Artemis3 | ball, in the future dont use reset, try ctrl alt del first (and wait a while), in emergency, push alt sysrq (print screen) keep pushing those 2 keys and type reisub (slowly) | 04:44 |
| Artemis3 | it might be left shift | 04:45 |
| ball | I tried Ctrl+Alt+Del before resorting to reset | 04:45 |
| Artemis3 | i think there is another one let me check | 04:45 |

| Wizard | hi | 05:26 |
| tnk1 | hi peoples, question... when I lock the screen, the screen goes blank/black as it should, but one section of the screen where there was a youtube video in chrome still SHOWS THE YOUTUBE VIDEO FRAME (nothing else of the chrome page), in the otherwise black/locked monitor! what in the world??? | 05:48 |
| tnk1 | that window of chrome isn't even maximized on the desktop or the active tab in that window of chrome! | 05:50 |
| Wizard | tnk1, do you use OpenGL screensaver? | 05:57 |
| Wizard | does it happen in other browsers too? | 05:58 |
| Wizard | s/in/with/ | 05:58 |
| tnk1 | Wizard: I have compizconfig up.. how do I tell? | 06:12 |
| tnk1 | Wizard: I actually just went to unclick/disable opengl in compizconfig settings manager, and that whole settings mgr prog crashed.. hm.. | 06:13 |
| tnk1 | should I uninstall opengl or compizconfig or something? | 06:13 |
| Wizard | what has compizconfig to do with screensaver? | 06:13 |
| Wizard | I didn't say anything like this | 06:13 |
| tnk1 | I don't know. how do I tell if I am using opengl screensaver? | 06:13 |
| Wizard | 1. which screensaver do you use, 2. does this happen with other browsers? | 06:14 |
| tnk1 | what else screensaver would I be using? | 06:14 |
| Wizard | check in settings :) | 06:14 |
| tnk1 | where in settings | 06:14 |
| Wizard | opengl screensavers are named glsomething | 06:14 |
| Wizard | in screensaver settings | 06:14 |
| tnk1 | I'm literally just using "blank screen only" | 06:15 |
| Wizard | hmm | 06:16 |
| Wizard | do you have ati gfx card? | 06:17 |
| Wizard | since I have no idea why such things happen :) | 06:19 |
| Wizard | the only thing which I have in mind is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_overlay | 06:19 |
| tnk1 | no. nvidia card. it works fine in previous iterations of xubuntu and kernel.. i updated things today.. fuuh | 06:20 |
| tnk1 | is there a better screensaver program to use instead of xfscreensaver or wahtever xfce naturally uses? | 06:20 |
| Wizard | gnome screensaver, but I bet problem lies deeper :( | 06:22 |
| Wizard | if you use blank screen only, than go to xscreensaver settings | 06:23 |
| Wizard | go to "advanced" tab and select "Quick power-off in blank only mode" | 06:24 |
| Wizard | dirty workarround :S | 06:27 |
| tnk1 | Wizard: can xfce be made to use the gnome-screensaver once I uninstall xscreensaver? | 06:27 |
| Wizard | sure, but first try my workarround, this should "help" | 06:28 |
| tnk1 | that's not a viable solutin | 06:28 |
| tnk1 | solution | 06:28 |
| Wizard | at least video won't be visible | 06:28 |
| tnk1 | that just shuts off the screen saver | 06:28 |
| tnk1 | and monitor | 06:28 |
| tnk1 | yeah, that's not going to work | 06:28 |
| tnk1 | i dont want to be flicking the backlight on it so much | 06:28 |
| Wizard | ok, than you may try gnome-screensaver, but I don't expect it to work any better | 06:29 |
| Wizard | hmm | 06:29 |
| tnk1 | how do I get gnome-screensaver to come on automatically wheni n xfce session? | 06:29 |
| Wizard | hmm | 06:31 |
| Wizard | good question | 06:31 |
| Wizard | hmm.. I did it once, just by installing gnome-screensaver and removing xscreensaver | 06:37 |
| Wizard | btw, they share some packages, so watch out :) | 06:37 |

| bepebe | Hello, I am trying to delete folders from a NTFS permission, and I am getting a "Unable to find or create wastebasket directory" error - http://i40.tinypic.com/2637evp.png can anybody help ? | 17:16 |
| baizon | bepebe: try shift+del | 17:19 |
| bepebe | baizon, thanks, does that mean they do not go to the wastebasket at all? do I need to set permissions on the wastebasket to allows the NTFS partition to write to it ?> | 17:21 |
| baizon | there seems to be a problem with your trash | 17:23 |
| baizon | check if the directory is there | 17:23 |
| baizon | http://wiki.xfce.org/faq | 17:24 |
| baizon | there you got it | 17:24 |
| bepebe | yeah folder is there | 17:25 |
| baizon | there? ~/.local/share/Trash/files | 17:25 |
| bepebe | yeah | 17:25 |
| baizon | so, the sollution for your problem is... | 17:27 |
| bepebe | delete it and re-create it ? | 17:27 |
| baizon | Step 1:open thunar as root | 17:27 |
| baizon | Step 2:go to home/.local/share | 17:27 |
| baizon | Step 3:change permissions on Thrash folder (and all folders inside,of course) | 17:27 |
| baizon | damn battlefield finishd loading | 17:28 |
| baizon | bepebe: or | 17:28 |
| bepebe | changed the permissions and still the same | 17:29 |
| baizon | bepebe: then this sollution is right | 17:29 |
| baizon | Make a directory in the root of the NTFS drive with the name .Trash-[your user id number]. Typically, that would be '.Trash-1000' but you can type 'id' in a terminal to check. | 17:29 |
| baizon | In the terminal: sudo chown -R [your user name]:users .Trash-[your user id number] | 17:29 |
| baizon | par example: | 17:29 |
| baizon | mkdir .Trash-1000 | 17:29 |
| baizon | sudo chown -R admin:users .Trash-1000 | 17:29 |
| f11f12 | how can I disable the automount "feature"? | 17:29 |
| baizon | f11f12: settings | 17:30 |
| f11f12 | not the file manager popup, I really want to stop if from mounting | 17:31 |
| baizon | why that? | 17:31 |
| f11f12 | because I'd like to have raw access (I have a udev rule that calls a script) | 17:32 |
| baizon | f11f12: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB | 17:32 |
| baizon | this? | 17:32 |
| f11f12 | well this disables only the file viewer to open... | 17:32 |
| f11f12 | it still gets mounted on /media/... | 17:33 |
| bepebe | baizon, the latter fixes the error, but does a permanent delete (like a shift+delete) I'd ideally like the option to restore if possible.. | 17:33 |
| baizon | bepebe: i think its a bug | 17:35 |
| baizon | but im not sure | 17:35 |
| baizon | workd with xfce 4.6 | 17:35 |
| bepebe | as far as I am aware, I'm on 4.6 - I appreciate your help nonetheless | 17:35 |

| Xubuntu | Hey... I screwed up my x.conf somehow and now I can't get the my xubuntu system to boot. So, try to log in to recovery to copy the backup file but the system tells me that it's a read only file syste... "su cp x.conf.back x.conf"? | 18:09 |
| Wizard | Ahix, xubuntu-like? | 18:10 |
| Wizard | Xubuntu, sudo cp... | 18:10 |

| Artemis3 | the final frontier... | 18:11 |
| Ahix | Artemis3, didn't knew that chann' exist :D | 18:11 |
| baizon | xubuntu: boot from livecd than mount and change it | 18:12 |
| Xubuntu | because the x system won't start and it's log file tells me something about the x.conf file is broken (I'm booted to windows now 'cuz I needed to get some work done so I don't remember exactly what the problem was) | 18:12 |
| baizon | Ahix: http://www.ehow.com/how_8624219_detect-webcam-xubuntu.html | 18:13 |
| baizon | and check dmesg for errors or something like that | 18:13 |
| Artemis3 | i would try the camera with cheese first, and if it works then comes the part of making it work with pidgin | 18:15 |
| baizon | Artemis3: yes the same thing is on the link i posted :D | 18:15 |

| hhbjjhb | nevermind | 19:02 |
| Wizard | dahm, installing flashplugin-installer package usually helps | 19:06 |
| Wizard | ;) | 19:06 |
| dahm | Wizard, via Synaptic package manager ? | 19:08 |
| baizon | dahm: yes or terminal | 19:08 |
| dahm | remember i'm a newbie ;-) i'll try the manager first unless you have a command I can copy | 19:09 |
| baizon | dahm: ok, so type in the terminal... sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 19:09 |
| baizon | then enter your password :) | 19:09 |
| dahm | thx, I got 2 errors messages but it's in french so that won't help you. how can i switch to the english interface? | 19:11 |
| Pici | dahm: LANG=C sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 19:13 |
| dahm | no that's ok, it was because i had left the manager open, it's running now | 19:13 |
| dahm | ok, installation flashplugin-installer worked fine but still no flash in firefox | 19:17 |
| baizon | dahm: is something present in the plugins / addons tab? | 19:20 |
| dahm | which tab? in firefox? | 19:20 |

| baizon | i got performance problems with my dual-core cpu with 720p | 19:46 |
| dahm | :-( first thing first, how do i disable HD? | 19:47 |
| baizon | like i said, on youtube it is the lower right corner | 19:48 |
| baizon | there you can change it | 19:48 |
| baizon | in some cases you cant change it | 19:48 |
| dahm | yes, i've seen in other instances, on other pcs, but not here | 19:49 |
| baizon | it has to be there | 19:49 |
| dahm | i have four buttons in the lower right corner : parameters, clock, small player, big player, full screen | 19:51 |
| ThePendulum1 | Greetings | 19:51 |
| dahm | and only on videos that work (with bad performances) on those with black screen it's really black, nothing, no button. Should I disable html? | 19:52 |
| ThePendulum1 | I have a 'Videos' directory, filled with subdirectories and videos. Now... I need to add the proper extension to each file. Is there a way to bulk-do this? | 19:52 |
| dahm | sorry, html5? | 19:52 |
| === quantal is now known as pangolin | ||
| dahm | i've changed screen resolution to 640x480, no change for those youtube videos which don't even start loading | 19:55 |
| baizon | dahm: you can do that :) | 19:55 |
| bepebe | is there a xfce gui menu editor ? | 19:57 |
| baizon | bepebe: yes | 19:57 |
| ThePendulum1 | baizon: It isn't any good, now is it? | 19:57 |
| baizon | bepebe: alacarte | 19:58 |
| baizon | bepebe: but it only works with >= xubuntu 12.04 | 19:58 |
| knome | s/works/works perfectly/ | 19:58 |
| bepebe | baizon, have to wait couple of days then, thanks once again.. | 19:58 |
| dahm | works better with html5 ;-) | 19:59 |
| baizon | np | 19:59 |
| dahm | "np"? what does it mean? | 20:00 |
| knome | "no problem" | 20:00 |
| baizon | np = no problem | 20:00 |
| dahm | :-) | 20:00 |
| baizon | too lazy to write the whole words :P | 20:00 |
| xubuntu992 | HI guys | 20:00 |
| knome | hullo | 20:01 |
| dahm | well, we've established my flash player was a performance problem... No other idea to improve the performance? change of browser? | 20:01 |
| knome | dahm, well yeah, firefox takes quite a lot of memory, so you could try that | 20:02 |
| baizon | ThePendulum1: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/working-with-files-and-folders | 20:02 |
| baizon | dahm: that wont help | 20:03 |
| baizon | flash is just bad | 20:03 |
| baizon | when you have weak hardware | 20:03 |
| baizon | but you can try chromium | 20:03 |
| xubuntu992 | I'll install the today build (23/04), if I use this, no seria necesario por que actualizar con la iso de la version final, ¿verdad? | 20:04 |
| knome | baizon, well firefox easily takes 500MB... | 20:04 |
| knome | xubuntu992, english please | 20:04 |
| baizon | yes indeed | 20:04 |
| xubuntu992 | I'll install the today build (23/04), if I use this, would not be necessary because the iso update the final version, right? | 20:04 |
| dahm | but flash is everywhere :-( that's a major setback for me to switch to linux :-( my lapto has 512MB | 20:04 |
| baizon | xubuntu992: no | 20:04 |
| baizon | you will be fine | 20:04 |
| baizon | it will update to the final | 20:05 |
| xubuntu992 | yes, sorry knome | 20:05 |
| ThePendulum1 | baizon: Kudos for understanding that | 20:05 |
| xubuntu992 | thanks baizon | 20:05 |
| knome | xubuntu992, no problem | 20:05 |
| baizon | dahm: yes but if you install windows xp then flash wont work either | 20:05 |
| ThePendulum1 | baizon: Thanks, but I can't really find a way to solve the issue | 20:06 |
| baizon | "open with..."? | 20:06 |
| xubuntu992 | leave it installed version today, so I avoid the collapse of the servers | 20:06 |
| baizon | then it will be default for all files | 20:06 |
| xubuntu992 | thanks ! | 20:07 |
| baizon | xubuntu992: np | 20:07 |
| ThePendulum1 | baizon: That won't add the proper extension I'm afraid. I am using a program that can't recognize the files if there's no visual extension | 20:07 |
| knome | ThePendulum1, i suppose it'll take some bash scripting | 20:07 |
| dahm | ok, thanks for everything baizon and the others | 20:07 |
| === dekkz is now known as dekkz_laptop | ||
| baizon | ok next attempt to run my game :P | 20:12 |
| baizon | ups wrong chan, sorry | 20:12 |
| jo___ | Hi. I have a question. Will Xubuntu 12.04 x86_64 recognize quad core cpu, and 8 GB ram memory??? | 20:13 |
| baizon | jo___: yes | 20:13 |
| jo___ | baizon_,Thanks. Are you sure? | 20:14 |
| bepebe | what would you people say is better on personal preference, xubuntu or lubuntu ? | 20:14 |
| knome | bepebe, depends what you want | 20:14 |
| Unit193 | It's all in the user. | 20:14 |
| Unit193 | And the hardware as well I suppose. | 20:15 |
| knome | jo___, be assured, it will be recognized | 20:15 |
| dekkz_laptop | only used xubuntu so cant say | 20:15 |
| bepebe | well I have very decent hardware quad core and 4 gb of ram | 20:15 |
| knome | bepebe, xubuntu is more user-friendly | 20:15 |
| bepebe | I'm liking Xubuntu, and have tried Mint LXDE (but didn't like that much - seemed buggy) | 20:15 |
| knome | bepebe, lubuntu will work on less resources, but you probably wouldn't notice the difference with that HW | 20:16 |
| Unit193 | Simple, make a live and see what you like. | 20:16 |
| baizon | bepebe: xubuntu | 20:16 |
| dahm | bye | 20:16 |
| ThePendulum1 | bepebe: With an X4 and 4GB of RAM, Xubuntu. | 20:16 |
| Unit193 | (Also, remember you're asking in #xubuntu, more will say Xubuntu) | 20:16 |
| knome | so true. | 20:17 |
| bepebe | ;) thanks all | 20:17 |
| bepebe | and if i have 12.04 beta 2 installed, i can just run update manager on the day and be up to date like i just installed fresh from the iso on the "official release day" ? | 20:18 |
| baizon | bepebe: yes | 20:19 |
| baizon | like jo_____ asked | 20:19 |
| bepebe | thanks | 20:19 |
| baizon | np | 20:19 |
| jo___ | baizon_,i'm sorry,what have you wrote last,my internet has dropped out suddenly | 20:19 |
| baizon | jo___: <knome> jo___, be assured, it will be recognized | 20:20 |
| baizon | and +1 for me with that statement | 20:21 |
| jo___ | baizon_,Thanks again, that's all i'm been interested in | 20:21 |
| baizon | ok, np :) | 20:22 |
| dekkz_laptop | any ubuntu based distro is usually good at handling newer hardware | 20:22 |
| baizon | indeed | 20:22 |
| dekkz_laptop | personally i'm running xubuntu desktop on what was originally ubuntu 11.10 | 20:24 |
| dekkz_laptop | its better ui and uses less resources | 20:24 |
| baizon | thats why i switchd | 20:25 |
| baizon | like the simple ui | 20:25 |
| dekkz_laptop | reminds me of motif in someways | 20:25 |
| baizon | hmm | 20:26 |
| dekkz_laptop | finger trouble? | 20:26 |
| baizon | no no | 20:27 |
| baizon | just wonderinf why +f | 20:27 |
| knome | toe? | 20:27 |
| baizon | and forwarding to xubuntu-unregged | 20:28 |
| bepebe | see you in a bit chaps, installing 12.04 | 20:28 |
| Pici | baizon: there are no other modes that trigger that forward though. | 20:28 |
| baizon | Pici: +F | 20:29 |
| baizon | +f (forward on uninvited) | 20:29 |
| baizon | +F (enable forwarding) | 20:29 |
| dekkz_laptop | hmm so hows xubuntu 12.04 beta 2 treating people? | 20:30 |
| Pici | baizon: er, no. see /quote help cmode, and there is no +i or +r or whatever to have the +f actually trigger, its there to save time when we do have to make those mode changes. | 20:30 |
| Unit193 | +f - (Forward uninvited.) - Forwards users who cannot join because of +i, +j, +l or +r. None of those are set, but if there is an attack, makes it nicer. | 20:31 |
| baizon | ok | 20:32 |
| baizon | now i understand | 20:32 |
| knome | maybe take to -ops if you want to continue :) | 20:32 |
| dekkz_laptop | thats killed convo | 20:36 |
| dekkz_laptop | does 12.04 use more resource than 11.10 | 20:38 |
| baizon | not really | 20:39 |
| dekkz_laptop | good | 20:40 |
| dekkz_laptop | guess ill be hitting the updater -d next week | 20:40 |
| baizon | do that :) | 20:41 |
| knome | won't do anything | 20:41 |
| knome | -d is just for development versions | 20:41 |
| knome | in a week precise is not dev | 20:41 |
| dekkz_laptop | ahh | 20:41 |
| dekkz_laptop | so update will automatically offer precise as update | 20:42 |
| knome | yup | 20:43 |
| baizon | if your settings are configured for "any new release" and not LTS | 20:43 |
| baizon | ou damn | 20:43 |
| knome | should do that in any case | 20:43 |
| baizon | it is a LTS. So it will update | 20:43 |
| dekkz_laptop | isnt precise a lts | 20:44 |
| knome | if you are in 11.10 or 10.04 | 20:44 |
| baizon | sorry i forgot :D | 20:44 |
| dekkz_laptop | 11.10 here | 20:44 |
| martinphone | how do I get information about the mobo? | 20:47 |

| GridCube | !ask | 21:06 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 21:06 |
| xubuntu5 | GridCube any idea why it might be giving me tearing issues? refresh rate xrandr reasons? vlc issues? | 21:06 |

| xubuntu5 | thanks gridcube | 21:09 |
| Guest94086 | when booting my laptop I get to the login screen and can't login to my usual username, but can boot into a guest account. The guest account does not have access to my home directory files (stored on a seperate partition). When I try to boot into my username I get a message about "mountall: plymouth command failed". Any help would be appreciated. | 21:09 |
| dekkz_laptop | try diff player to see if u get same tearing | 21:09 |
| xubuntu5 | thanks guys | 21:09 |
| GridCube | xubuntu5, you could try xine as well | 21:10 |
| xubuntu5 | xine hmm | 21:10 |
| xubuntu5 | ok | 21:10 |
| xubuntu5 | thanks! | 21:10 |

| Guest94086 | ok that will boot me off this session.. I can log back in here from another machine shortly to let you know how it works... Thank you gridcube. | 21:12 |
| xubuntu5 | maybe even try changing lightdm.conf to allow automatic login | 21:14 |
| xubuntu5 | GridCube, smplayer supports mkv m2ts all that good stuff? | 21:16 |
| GridCube | should do, its an mplayer frontend | 21:16 |
| xubuntu5 | got it! | 21:17 |
| GridCube | >MPlayer is a movie player which runs on many systems (see the documentation). It plays most MPEG/VOB, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, RealMedia, Matroska, NUT, NuppelVideo, FLI, YUV4MPEG, FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5, WMV and even H.264 movies. | 21:18 |
| dekkz_laptop | does h264 mean blueray | 21:18 |
| GridCube | http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/info.html | 21:18 |
| GridCube | see the "news" section for bluray info dekkz_laptop | 21:20 |
| dekkz_laptop | hmmm | 21:21 |
| dekkz_laptop | guess thats a no then | 21:22 |
| dekkz_laptop | no matter as i dont own any | 21:22 |
| xubuntu5 | h.264 is a compression of blu-ray | 21:25 |
| xubuntu5 | with very little loss of quality and used in a variety of applications | 21:25 |
| xubuntu5 | deekz_laptop | 21:26 |
| xubuntu5 | smplayer still some tearing but i think it might be slightly better | 21:26 |
| dekkz_laptop | cables ok? | 21:27 |
| xubuntu5 | ya hdmi cables are good | 21:27 |
| xubuntu5 | monoprice cables | 21:27 |

| dekkz_laptop | then check u have latest vid drivers, does it support hd400 | 21:31 |
| dekkz_laptop | hd4000 | 21:32 |
| xubuntu5 | have latest driver i think | 21:33 |
| xubuntu5 | how do i check hd400? | 21:33 |
| dekkz_laptop | what chipset is it? should say on lappys webpage | 21:35 |
| dekkz_laptop | hmm series 4 isnt hd series integrated graphics | 21:37 |
| grifo74 | hello i have one pc witl intel graphic card. how i install 3d drivers or opengl supertuxcar dont work? | 21:44 |

| GridCube | xubuntu5, >settings manager >Window manager settings, its the one with the magic wand icon | 22:08 |
| craigbass1976 | Is there a way to tell xfce that when I hit Shift+numpad1 (on a laptop keyboard) that I want it to be doing Shift+End and not 1 ? | 22:54 |
| GridCube | craigbass1976, this might lead you somewhere http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/howto/edit_keyboard_shortcuts | 23:31 |
| chrstphrhrt | hey, anyone know if the boot splash changed with the new branding? | 23:35 |
| GridCube | a bit, yes | 23:36 |
| GridCube | not much | 23:37 |
| GridCube | new branding and stuff | 23:37 |
| chrstphrhrt | cool | 23:37 |
| xubuntu5 | what is the hotkey for fullscreen on smplayer | 23:37 |
| chrstphrhrt | i love the new branding/logo | 23:37 |
| chrstphrhrt | never was so hot on the forest graphics | 23:37 |
| GridCube | f | 23:37 |
| xubuntu5 | gridcube i turned off the compositor in the magic wand and it seems to fix the issues of tearing! and i'm using smplayer now! | 23:38 |
| xubuntu5 | just f? | 23:38 |
| GridCube | yep | 23:38 |
| xubuntu5 | wow it is just f | 23:38 |
| xubuntu5 | i was doing f11 f12 alt enter ctrl enter and it's just f thanks! | 23:38 |
| GridCube | :P you can edit it | 23:39 |
| xubuntu5 | heh true | 23:39 |
| xubuntu5 | thanks again! | 23:39 |
| xubuntu5 | it was the xfce compositor causing the tearing! | 23:40 |
| GridCube | :D | 23:40 |
| GridCube | it happens | 23:40 |
| GridCube | video drivers for linux arent that good | 23:41 |
| GridCube | :/ sadly | 23:41 |
| CellTech | Any other xubuntu volume control? This one sucks and I KNOW my speakers are louder than this :) | 23:42 |
| GridCube | CellTech, pavucontrol | 23:43 |
| CellTech | What about ubuntu's control? I liked that one a lot | 23:44 |
| GridCube | dunno | 23:44 |
| CellTech | I'll find out. thank you | 23:45 |
