| Astro-nut | Hi. In Xubuntu 12.04, is it possible to run several log-in screens, each on its own VT? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Astro-nut | Anyone??? | 00:01 |
| GridCube | Astro-nut, yup | 00:05 |
| GridCube | the same way that with any linux | 00:05 |
| Astro-nut | I tried but couldn't. In the past I used this HOWTO: http://hex1a4.net/xubuntu/howto/03/ but now Xubuntu doesn't use GDM | 00:07 |
| Astro-nut | Is there a HOWTO on how to do it. My Google-fu must not be so good because I couldn't find anything. | 00:09 |
| Unit193 | Lightdm is what Xubuntu is using. | 00:10 |
| GridCube | !xinit | 00:10 |
| ochosi | Astro-nut: the key would be to start multiple X11 sessions, you don't need to do that with the desktop-manager (like gdm) | 00:10 |
| GridCube | asterismo, use xinit | 00:10 |
| ochosi | Astro-nut: what might also help your google-fu: xubuntu now uses lightdm (like ubuntu) | 00:10 |
| GridCube | xinit -- :1 | 00:10 |
| Astro-nut | I should mention that I need three X displays on VTs 5-7 and that they should load on boot. Is this possible with xinit? | 00:12 |
| GridCube | ok, was startx | 00:14 |
| GridCube | :P | 00:14 |
| GridCube | ok, but that launches | 00:16 |
| GridCube | root | 00:16 |

| linuxjones | hello all, im using synergy to connect to a computer connected to my tv, and i have it all set up so that it starts when i log in, the only problem is i would like to be able to use it to log in! or maybe not have to log in at all since its being used as a media server of sorts, but i cant find a "automatically log in as _____ user " in options anywhere, any help? | 02:32 |
| Unit193 | Yep, just edit /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf | 02:33 |

| linuxshine | what is the default sound driver used in xubuntu is it alsa? | 04:43 |
| Unit193 | Pulse. | 04:44 |
| linuxshine | is there anything that normalizes audio system wide? | 04:56 |
| Unit193 | You can install pavaucontrol to set sound. | 04:59 |
| linuxshine | what is the default Volume Control in xubuntu I see no about buttons | 05:58 |
| hobgoblin | indicator-sound is probably what you are looking at | 05:59 |
| linuxshine | thanks | 06:00 |
| linuxshine | Is indicator-sound capable of handling ladspa plugins | 06:08 |
| ochosi | linuxshine: indicator-sound is (as the name suggests) only an indicator for your volume and sound | 06:52 |
| ochosi | linuxshine: the question you should be asking is: http://askubuntu.com/questions/43950/how-can-i-apply-a-ladspa-plugin-to-a-pulseaudio-stream | 06:53 |
| linuxshine | it was pavucontrol :) thanks | 06:55 |
| linuxshine | and thanks for that link ochosi | 06:56 |

| qwentin | I need help with compiz, I do not have decoration and that kind of sucks because I would like to have a close minimize and fullscreen button, any help? | 08:38 |
| qwentin | oh mouse died, I'll ask again tomorrow after my batteries charge. | 08:44 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| xubuntu081 | I just installed Xubuntu 12.04 and I am running 2 monitors. I can not figure out a way to get a window to move to the other monitor. | 08:59 |
| knome | xubuntu081, drag it | 09:03 |
| hobgoblin | I'd suspect you need to set it up as 'one' monitor | 09:03 |
| knome | xubuntu081, note that the layout might be not what the physical layout is; eg. the monitor physically on the left might be virtually on the right | 09:03 |
| knome | xubuntu081, (in that case you need to configure more, but dragging should work) | 09:03 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| xubuntu081 | I can't just drag the windows... my mouse cursor will change just fine, but when i drag a window with it the window gets stuck as if there were no other monitor | 09:09 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| hobgoblin | xubuntu081: I 'think' you can set them up in Settings - Settings Manager - Display | 09:10 |
| hobgoblin | but I installed arandr and used that | 09:10 |
| xubuntu081 | arandr will only show me one monitor as well | 09:11 |
| xubuntu081 | and display settings will not open | 09:11 |
| xubuntu081 | the only place i can actually make any changes is in nvidia | 09:11 |
| hobgoblin | ok - well make them there then - I did the same after I'd installed the nvidia driver | 09:12 |
| xubuntu081 | i think i need the "twin view" setting working, but I can't get it to work | 09:13 |
| xubuntu081 | everytime i save the change and reset x it goes back to the settings i have now | 09:13 |
| hobgoblin | is it saving the changes to xorg.conf? | 09:15 |
| xubuntu081 | I tell it to | 09:16 |
| hobgoblin | you don't need to reset ... make the changes - save to X Conf file, then quit and reboot or logout | 09:16 |
| xubuntu081 | k, i'll give that try, thanks | 09:16 |
| xubuntu599 | hobgoblin - I got the nvidia to save the twin view. It is not botting up my panels right now, is there a way to force that or do i need to reboot? | 09:20 |
| hobgoblin | xubuntu599: try Alt+F2 xfce4-panel | 09:25 |
| Jonne_ | so this morning i booted xubuntu and found the wallpaper isn't rendering, compiz now uses whatever was on the screen before as a wallpaper (like when you finished a game of patience in windows) | 09:26 |
| Jonne_ | anyone else had this issue yet? | 09:26 |
| xubuntu599 | it tells me that the panel is running already | 09:27 |
| hobgoblin | xubuntu599: are your screens both the same resolution - mine aren't and I lost one with twin view - had to fiddle to get it back | 09:29 |
| hobgoblin | Jonne_: not using compiz | 09:29 |
| Jonne_ | http://i.imgur.com/gZHPB.png | 09:30 |
| Jonne_ | screenshot | 09:30 |
| xubuntu599 | i just figured it out in panel settings, they were still set to a screen that no longer exists | 09:30 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 09:30 |
| xubuntu599 | everything is working well now, thank you so much! | 09:31 |
| xubuntu599 | windows are dragging and everything | 09:31 |
| hobgoblin | cool | 09:31 |
| xubuntu599 | thanks again! | 09:31 |
| hobgoblin | welcome xubuntu599 | 09:32 |
| Jonne_ | guess i should ask this in #compiz | 09:33 |
| hobgoblin | I'd not know sorry - not used compiz for years | 09:34 |
| hobgoblin | I just know it's not default in xubuntu | 09:34 |
| Jonne_ | yeah | 09:34 |
| Jonne_ | but it worked fine last week | 09:35 |
| Jonne_ | so i guess an update must've screwed something up | 09:35 |
| hobgoblin | I'd assume so | 09:35 |
| Jonne_ | nothing related to xfce or compiz got updated | 09:36 |
| Jonne_ | just some virtualbox stuff, apt stuff | 09:36 |
| Jonne_ | nautilus | 09:36 |
| Jonne_ | gir1.2 | 09:37 |
| Jonne_ | i'll try rebooting again | 09:37 |
| hobgoblin | so a bunch of stuff not in a default xubuntu got updated and don't work now | 09:37 |
| hobgoblin | oh - gone | 09:38 |
| Jonne_ | don't have this issue with gnome fallback + compiz | 09:54 |
| Jonne_ | although it still loads the xfce panels | 09:54 |
| * Jonne_ tries gnome3 | 09:54 | |
| Jonne_ | seems like none of my desktops work properly now | 10:06 |
| Jonne_ | gnome-fallback works but looks a bit weird | 10:07 |
| hobgoblin | that's not much fun :( | 10:07 |
| Jonne_ | yeah, i guess you sort of have to pick one desktop and make sure to not install others | 10:11 |
| Jonne_ | mixing always gets a bit weird | 10:11 |
| hobgoblin | to be honest I stopped doing that a long time ago - either real partitions or vbox here now when I want to look | 10:11 |
| Jonne_ | well, the reason i'm on xubuntu is because gnome3 won't play nice with dual screen and my radeon drivers | 10:12 |
| Jonne_ | at least xubuntu still wants to be a real desktop without trying to cater for touch | 10:13 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 10:13 |
| hobgoblin | no need for compiz here though ;) | 10:13 |
| Jonne_ | yeah, might just turn off compiz | 10:14 |
| Jonne_ | for some reason netbeans has huge fonts everywhere in gnome | 10:15 |
| Jonne_ | can't work like that | 10:15 |
| Jonne_ | edited xfce4-session.xml so it would load xfwm4 by default, and this magically fixed everything | 10:20 |
| Jonne_ | i even still have compiz | 10:20 |
| Jonne_ | and notifications are properly rendered again | 10:21 |
| Jonne_ | so i guess compiz was running twice for some reason | 10:22 |
| DG_Firleigh | Is it possible to permanently mount MS Windows Shares in Xubuntu? | 10:34 |
| Jonne_ | in /etc/fstab, yeah | 10:34 |
| DG_Firleigh | Are there any prerquisites? I presume I will at least need to have installed sambafs. | 10:35 |
| Jonne_ | http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/configure-a-system-to-automount-a-samba-share-with-etcfstab/ something like this | 10:35 |
| Jonne_ | there are many guides, just google cifs and fstab | 10:35 |
| DG_Firleigh | I'll get on the case and give it a go. Thanks! | 10:36 |
| astraljava | Jonne_: Thanks for helping out! You started out great, but then regressed a bit. :) We try not to give 'google it' as a support answer. Direct links to instructions are better, OTOH. | 10:36 |
| DG_Firleigh | Looked at the link - looks straightforward but pride comes before a fall! | 10:39 |
| Jonne_ | astraljava, it's just that i couldn't find the guide i used, so i gave him some keywords to use in case that one failed him | 11:02 |
| astraljava | Jonne_: I understand. Of course it's better than nothing. And anyway, you gave a direct link in the first place, so a job well done nonetheless. :) | 11:03 |
| Jonne_ | i agree that "just google it" isn't a great answer, but sometimes the right keywords are what someone needs | 11:04 |
| astraljava | Yeah, but there's the chance of finding the not-so-great tutorials, resulting in even greater problems. :) | 11:09 |
| Jonne_ | the problem with the one i linked is that the password is in /etc/fstab | 11:09 |
| Jonne_ | the better guides use a seperate file to store the password | 11:09 |
| astraljava | Yeah ok. | 11:10 |
| Jonne_ | i wish there was a better way of doing this in general, because if your smb server goes down, you'll get all sorts of weirdness and sometimes you can only recover from it by rebooting | 11:10 |
| Sysi | put mount to crontab with @reboot ? | 11:17 |
| Sysi | or maybe gvfs-command in user's autostart | 11:18 |
| Sysi | I don't know if those prevent problems, I can't get windows shares to work with two windows boxes | 11:19 |
| Tegal | Hi folks, complete Xubuntu newbie here, but looking forward to getting to grips with it. I just bought a new mobo & CPU (Asus M5A78L-M LX V2, AMD Athlon II X3 460, 8GB RAM) and I've installed Xubuntu Desktop x64. On the system I also have a DeLock IDE PCI card, but Xubuntu doesn't seem to be picking up drivers for this hardware. Any suggestions what I can do? The mobo only has SATA connections and I was hoping that the DeLock woul | 11:38 |
| Tegal | Apart from that Xubuntu seems to run very nicely | 11:39 |
| Sysi | Tegal: you can't see disks connected to that pci-card even with gparted? | 11:40 |
| Tegal | correct, i think i need drivers | 11:42 |
| Sysi | probably | 11:43 |
| Tegal | i was hoping that the IDE card would allow me to access DVD drives even in the BIOS, but no such luck. had to create a bootable USB key with xubuntu and got the OS installed that way | 11:43 |
| Tegal | this is the hardware http://www.delock.de/produkte/G_70098/merkmale.html | 11:44 |
| Sysi | what's the name for that device in the output of "lspci"? | 11:46 |
| Tegal | hmm, unfortunately I | 11:47 |
| Tegal | I'm at work right now and not on the system | 11:47 |
| Tegal | was hoping for some general instructions I could try at home tonight | 11:48 |
| Tegal | but maybe I should log on from the machine this evening | 11:50 |
| Sysi | basic instruction is to google with "<device name> ubuntu" but I couldn't find any info | 11:51 |
| xubuntu004 | Hi. I want to know if I can install xubuntu with a athlon xp 1700 +, and 256 MB memory PC133? | 11:52 |
| Sysi | xubuntu004: that RAM is quite little, if you want to use webbrowser or something | 11:53 |
| Sysi | if you wanna try, lubuntu would be better | 11:53 |
| xubuntu004 | may it run with 256 MB Ram ? | 11:53 |
| Sysi | should run, can't say how well | 11:54 |
| xubuntu004 | I´m using a lite XP and its toooooooooooooo slow. | 11:55 |
| xubuntu004 | I´ll try it out | 11:56 |
| Tegal | thanks sysi, maybe I'll log on again tonight when i can access info on the system itself | 12:00 |
| Sysi | that would be better | 12:00 |
| Ayazen | good evening | 12:11 |
| SandJ | xubuntu004, I installed Xubuntu 11.04 on a 400MHz PC with 256 MB RAM. Yes, it loaded, but I couldn't do anything useful with it. | 14:06 |
| SandJ | (Oops, NOW I spot their 'quit' notice) | 14:07 |
| qwentin | can I get help with compiz, I do not have decorations and Im pretty sure that I need that in order to have minimize fullscreen and close buttons on my windows, to can I somehow get these? | 14:41 |
| holstein | qwentin: check out http://askubuntu.com/questions/8270/how-do-i-install-compiz-in-xubuntu ...especially the "do you really want compiz in xubuntu" ;) | 14:42 |
