| xubuntu119 | hello all. | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu119 | I'm trying to install xubuntu on this new AMD-based machine, but the installer does not see the hard drive. | 00:07 |
| xubuntu119 | I can mount the partitions from teh desktop and from the console, as well as edit them with gparted. | 00:07 |
| xubuntu119 | I have already disabled the cheap software fake-raid emulation in the BIOS, to no avail. | 00:08 |
| xubuntu119 | Any ideas? | 00:08 |
| GridCube | xubuntu119, check your ide/sata cables are well connected | 00:09 |
| GridCube | change the ports they are at | 00:09 |
| GridCube | probably some silly misconnection | 00:10 |
| xubuntu119 | I can mount and edit the drive using other tools | 00:10 |
| xubuntu119 | The installer seems to be malfunctioning or misconfigured. | 00:10 |
| xubuntu119 | Is there a way to launch the text-based alternate installer from the desktop livecd? | 00:11 |
| xubuntu119 | ...gonna reboot... | 00:13 |
| xubuntu747 | I had a question...I just turned on my desktop computer and it is saying that GNOME Power Manager has not been installed correctly. I installed all the software almost a year ago now. I officially can't log in. Can someone please help me? | 00:14 |
| GridCube | go to a tty and do a sudo apt-get autoclean | 00:14 |
| xubuntu747 | k and that should solve the problem? | 00:15 |
| GridCube | maybe | 00:16 |
| xubuntu747 | I know that there is no more room left on my device and I was just about to delete some files. Would this stall me from doing the sudo apt-get autoclean? | 00:18 |
| GridCube | no | 00:18 |
| GridCube | it should uninstall stuff | 00:18 |
| GridCube | stuff you dont need | 00:19 |
| xubuntu747 | Alright, thanks i'll try that out. | 00:19 |
| al-pal | Hi there guys | 01:41 |
| al-pal | has anybody had any experience installing Nvidia Optimus Drivers | 01:42 |
| al-pal | I just installed the bumbell bee driver but not sure what to do from there | 01:43 |
| sonia | hey all, I have a slightly irrelevant question if anyone's around :) | 02:51 |
| well_laid_lawn | the answer could be just as irrelevant.. ;P | 02:53 |
| sonia | heh, willing to take that chance. really new to using anything other than windows :p | 02:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | so shoot | 02:54 |
| sonia | I have xubuntu 12.04. the latest version of a program I need is for ubuntu 7.10. (where the windows version is made for 7, sigh...) will it work? | 02:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | depends on what other apps it depends on | 02:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | the easiest way to find out is try | 02:55 |
| sonia | heh, okay, I'll see. It's Cisco Packet Tracer, if that helps. | 02:56 |
| * sonia blinks, download page says "Use Firefox to download the Linux.bin files as Internet Explorer doesn't load them correctly." | 02:56 | |
| sonia | ...why would you- never mind | 02:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | !find cisco | 02:57 |
| ubottu | Found: libnet-telnet-cisco-perl, quantum-plugin-cisco | 02:57 |
| lotato | hello! | 02:58 |
| Unit193 | sonia: Another good thing would be to find a program that does the same thing, but that's just another option. | 03:00 |
| sonia | Unit193, I'll try - that'd probably help, yes. S'just I need this particular one for class. | 03:01 |
| sonia | incidentally, while I'm here - is there a reason this OS is so ridiculously fast? It's impressive. | 03:02 |
| well_laid_lawn | sonia: http://kaslnetwork.com/articles/installing-cisco-packettracer-5-3-2-on-64-bit-ubuntu-or-debian/ | 03:02 |
| Unit193 | Ah, understandable. | 03:03 |
| lotato | How do I access input/output devices on xubuntu? My internal microphone on my laptop doesn't work :< | 03:05 |
| sonia | thanks all! :) | 03:06 |
| well_laid_lawn | lotato: have you tried pavucontrol? | 03:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | !info pavucontrol | 03:09 |
| ubottu | pavucontrol (source: pavucontrol): PulseAudio Volume Control. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.99.2-1build1 (precise), package size 140 kB, installed size 949 kB | 03:09 |
| sonia | ^ that's neat, I use it | 03:09 |
| lotato | Here is a screenshot of the input menu | 03:12 |

| lotato | I'm assuming the blue bar is for detecting the amount of sound | 03:13 |
| lotato | showing the amount of detected sound, that is | 03:13 |
| lotato | but it does not move from that position | 03:13 |

| well_laid_lawn | lotato: in a terminal run alsamixer press F4 for capture and make sure the mic is selected and unmuted | 03:18 |
| lotato | Oh dear I'm quite confused; does any of this look right? | 03:21 |
| lotato | http://storage5.static.itmages.com/i/12/0626/h_1340680893_2342962_5fbbc87fa7.png | 03:21 |
| well_laid_lawn | lotato: you need to press F4 to be in the capture device screen | 03:22 |
| well_laid_lawn | looks like the mic is turned down to zero anyway | 03:24 |
| lotato | I believe this is the right menu now | 03:24 |
| lotato | http://storage6.static.itmages.com/i/12/0626/h_1340681061_3235951_80c60a5edd.png | 03:24 |
| lotato | Would turning up the mic column resolve the issue? | 03:26 |
| well_laid_lawn | yep. hit the up arrow to turn the mics volume up | 03:26 |
| well_laid_lawn | It "should" help | 03:26 |
| lotato | Thank you so much well_laid_lawn; it appears that my microphone is working perfectly now! | 03:27 |
| well_laid_lawn | woot that was easy :) | 03:28 |
| lotato | I tested it via skype and everything seems to be in order | 03:28 |
| lotato | I truly appreciate your help | 03:28 |
| well_laid_lawn | cheers | 03:28 |
| lotato | One more quick question, maybe you'll know as well :) Will this most likely resolve my issue with the mic in virtual machines? | 03:28 |
| lotato | I have XP in a virtual machine to use rosetta stone, and the mic would not work (just as xubuntu) my guess would be that it would work now as well | 03:29 |
| lotato | unfortunately I can't boot virtualbox at the moment | 03:29 |
| well_laid_lawn | I have no experience with mics in vm's | 03:29 |
| well_laid_lawn | someone in #vbox might know | 03:30 |
| well_laid_lawn | but give it a try when you can | 03:30 |
| lotato | ah ok; I'll have to test it myself later on :) Once again, thanks for your help | 03:30 |
| well_laid_lawn | cheers | 03:30 |
| lotato | I would be incredibly lost without that lol | 03:30 |
| lotato | have a great night! | 03:30 |

| xubuntu867 | hello | 05:18 |
| xubuntu867 | hunter2 | 05:18 |
| xubuntu949 | Hi. When I try to log in, there is a message stating that the configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager has not been installed correctly. I am not able to log in. I believe I have to go to a tty and do a sudo apt-get autoclean. Can someone please walk me through how I can do this please? | 05:37 |
| baizon | xubuntu949: dpkg --reconfigure gnome-power-manager | 05:38 |
| baizon | ups | 05:38 |
| baizon | wrong | 05:38 |
| baizon | sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-power-manager | 05:38 |
| baizon | or try sudo apt-get install -f | 05:39 |
| xubuntu949 | am I able to do that if I can't log in? | 05:40 |
| baizon | no | 05:41 |
| baizon | so when you see the login window | 05:41 |
| baizon | press ctrl+alt+F1 | 05:42 |
| baizon | then log in and do that | 05:42 |
| xubuntu949 | when i log in do i just do username and password right after? I can't remember how to do a sudo apt-get install -f. Can you possibly walk me through the steps | 05:46 |
| xubuntu949 | Can anyone help me out? | 06:04 |
| v1adimir | I would, if I could. :) | 06:08 |
| v1adimir | uh btw., xubuntu = xfce power manager | 06:10 |
| baizon | !ask | xubuntu949 | 06:19 |
| ubottu | xubuntu949: 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 | 06:19 |
| xubuntu949 | K, my apologies...when I went to the page after ctrl+alt+F1 and it asks for my login are they asking for my password only? | 06:22 |
| well_laid_lawn | yes | 06:22 |
| well_laid_lawn | well you should do your username then password | 06:23 |
| xubuntu949 | k and then what should I do after that if it is saying that the configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager has not been installed correctly? | 06:25 |
| well_laid_lawn | try sudo apt-get install -f | 06:26 |
| well_laid_lawn | what's wrong with the xfce4 power manager? | 06:27 |
| xubuntu949 | I am not sure. I installed all the software a year ago and this just happened today when I shut down my desktop and turned it back on.. | 06:28 |
| xubuntu949 | Do you have any idea why this happened? | 06:31 |
| v1adimir | You haven't rebooted in a year? | 06:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | I could only guess. An os update, a session saved wrong, a ... | 06:32 |
| xubuntu949 | oh no, I have rebooted. | 06:33 |
| xubuntu949 | well thanks for the help, I appreciate it. If this does not work then I will come back on | 06:36 |
| kth | Hi! I just purchased a Toshiba NB520 and xubuntu can't identify the screen. Poor screen resolution. Can someone help? | 06:40 |
| v1adimir | kth: specs say it's: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD so maybe that can help some | 06:42 |
| v1adimir | http://www.toshiba-india.com/laptop/netbook-nb520.html | 06:44 |
| selinuxa | 10.1 inch WXGA | 06:44 |
| kth | Yes, but how does that help me? | 06:44 |
| selinuxa | wxga is 1280x720 | 06:45 |
| selinuxa | *768 | 06:45 |
| kth | Really... I thourght it was 1024x600 for this one | 06:45 |
| selinuxa | nah, that's WSVGA | 06:45 |
| kth | I think it can have higher resolution but only for external screens, but I'm not sure | 06:46 |
| kth | selinuxa... se for sweden? | 06:46 |
| kth | Det skulle hjälpa :) | 06:47 |
| selinuxa | no, se for Security Enhanced ;P | 06:47 |
| kth | OK.. English then :) | 06:47 |
| selinuxa | hehe | 06:47 |
| kth | So... any suggestions on how I should proceed. I have been searching for xorg.config but it seems to have disapeared in 12.04 | 06:48 |
| selinuxa | the gma 3150 has a max output resolution of 1400x1050 | 06:48 |
| selinuxa | with an external VGA monitor. | 06:49 |
| kth | with external yes, but I don't get the "internal" to work | 06:49 |
| kth | Only got 800 x 600 | 06:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 06:49 |
| kth | Nope | 06:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | should say what's up with the monitor | 06:50 |
| v1adimir | maybe this can be somewhat relevant in terms of hw support http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1953734&highlight=intel+gma+3650&page=3 | 06:50 |
| * selinuxa was thinking of using xrandr | 06:51 | |
| selinuxa | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html | 06:51 |
| Unit193 | You can use arandr for a GUI version. | 06:51 |
| selinuxa | thanks for tip, Unit193 | 06:52 |
| kth | Did not really find what I need in that thread | 06:54 |
| kth | I have never done anything with xrandr | 06:54 |
| kth | Checking... | 06:54 |
| v1adimir | kth: are you running the latest update 3.2.0-25-generic kernel? in terminal: uname -r | 06:58 |
| v1adimir | *stable for Precise | 06:59 |
| kth | 3.2.0-25-generic | 06:59 |
| kth | Yes | 06:59 |
| v1adimir | heh ok | 07:00 |
| kth | So... What do I do with arandr???? | 07:04 |
| well_laid_lawn | arandr should the choice in resolutions you have | 07:05 |
| kth | I only have one choice... 800 x 600 | 07:06 |
| kth | That's the problem | 07:06 |
| baizon | kth: so the detection is wrong | 07:06 |
| well_laid_lawn | that's why I suggested reading the X log - to find out why | 07:06 |
| kth | Yes... | 07:06 |
| selinuxa | If you want to add a mode with resolution 1024X768, you can enter the following command: (The output is shown following.) | 07:06 |
| selinuxa | $ cvt 1024 768 | 07:06 |
| baizon | detection -> drivers | 07:06 |
| selinuxa | you can force a mode with xrandr | 07:06 |
| baizon | and pray that it work :D | 07:06 |
| kth | lol | 07:06 |
| baizon | for me it never workd :D | 07:07 |
| selinuxa | eh | 07:07 |
| baizon | just joking :D | 07:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | it could be using the vesa driver | 07:07 |
| kth | For what I understand I must change the xorg.config to make it work, but in 12.04 I can't even find it | 07:08 |
| well_laid_lawn | just make it | 07:08 |
| selinuxa | not in/etc/x11/xorg.conf? | 07:08 |
| kth | Wait... is it hidden? | 07:08 |
| selinuxa | you can generate one | 07:09 |
| selinuxa | with sudo Xorg -configure | 07:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | !xrandr | 07:09 |
| ubottu | XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 07:09 |
| selinuxa | no, shouldn't be. | 07:09 |
| v1adimir | selinuxa: nividia-settings generated one for me, so prolly not there by default | 07:09 |
| kth | Can't find it there | 07:10 |
| selinuxa | interesting, when i installed xserver-xorg on a headless server so as to VNC in, a sample xorg.conf was provided | 07:10 |
| selinuxa | then sudo Xorg -configure, kth | 07:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | xorg.conf doesn't get made by default - files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ are used instead | 07:10 |
| selinuxa | Ah | 07:11 |
| kth | Should never have bourgt a Toshiba :( But it was limegreen...Could not resist :) | 07:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | you just have to learn how to find out what's going on in linux | 07:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | read the log | 07:11 |
| kth | What log? | 07:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | like I said - have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 07:13 |
| well_laid_lawn | you can paste it | 07:13 |
| well_laid_lawn | !paste | 07:13 |

| kth | wait... | 07:14 |
| well_laid_lawn | your three dots are nearly up... | 07:17 |
| well_laid_lawn | !pastebinit | 07:18 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 07:18 |
| kth | So... | 07:18 |
| kth | Paste it... | 07:18 |
| well_laid_lawn | heh | 07:18 |
| kth | Not just to paste here? | 07:18 |
| well_laid_lawn | not more than three lines no | 07:18 |
| well_laid_lawn | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | 07:18 |
| kth | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060312/ | 07:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | k | 07:19 |
| kth | Is that correct pasted? | 07:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | yep | 07:20 |
| well_laid_lawn | line 1722 says you are using the vesa driver - so you need to sort out the vid driver first | 07:21 |
| kth | How... A this above my knowlede of Linux | 07:21 |
| kth | I mean... I'm to stupid to fix it with out help :) | 07:22 |
| kth | How do I sort out the video driver? | 07:22 |
| well_laid_lawn | we have to find out what chip you have first so in a terminal do lspci | grep -i vga | 07:23 |
| kth | How do I type a standing line? | 07:25 |
| well_laid_lawn | normally shift+\ so hold down shift and hit the \ | 07:26 |
| kth | swedish keybord... wait | 07:26 |
| v1adimir | just copy paste, ctrl+shift+v to paste in terminal | 07:27 |
| Sysi | try altGr < for | | 07:27 |
| v1adimir | oh nvm :s | 07:27 |
| well_laid_lawn | you don't have to keep saying wait, I'm here for a while tho I might do other things for a min or two | 07:27 |
| kth | :) | 07:27 |
| well_laid_lawn | you can drag the mouse across txt to hightlight it and middle click in the terminal too44 | 07:28 |
| kth | Not online with the comp that I'm trying to fix | 07:28 |
| well_laid_lawn | s/44// | 07:29 |
| well_laid_lawn | k | 07:29 |
| kth | I will change comp so I can copy / paste | 07:31 |
| kth_ | Back now. Please repeat | 07:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | lspci | grep -i vga | 07:32 |
| kth_ | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) | 07:33 |
| v1adimir | so the on-chip controller is being loaded instead of the graphics adapter | 07:33 |
| kth_ | If you say so :) | 07:33 |
| v1adimir | I had the link on how to handle it the other day, but someone else is gonna have to do it now :f | 07:34 |
| well_laid_lawn | seems it needs this solution - https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+faq/1901 | 07:35 |

| trotsky | hello there, i have an acer aspire 7720 which gives an error when booting from usb (bios version 1.43) when i try to boot from dvd which latest ubuntu .iso burned to it the cursor just blinks in upper left corner. What can i do to get ubuntu 12.04? | 08:16 |
| well_laid_lawn | you know this is #xubuntu ? | 08:17 |
| well_laid_lawn | I'd look for a safe graphics option in the boot menu | 08:18 |
| v1adimir | trotsky: i was unable to install from DVD, but liveCD worked for me (uefi bios, never bothered to check why :)) | 08:18 |
| trotsky | sorry | 08:22 |
| Kingsy | is anyone else getting frustrated with the new version of xubuntu? | 08:23 |
| Unit193 | Not really, works fine here. | 08:23 |
| Kingsy | no it works fine.. for sure.. | 08:23 |
| Kingsy | but is it not reminding you more nad more of windows? | 08:24 |
| Kingsy | it says things like | 08:24 |
| Kingsy | "this program is not responding.. terminate now?" <-- well not exactly but that kinda thing | 08:24 |
| Kingsy | it also has "crash reports" send this error to stop it happening further etc etc.. I consider those things "windowsy" heh | 08:25 |
| Kingsy | now thats a word :P | 08:25 |
| Sysi | you can just remove apps responsible of those | 08:25 |
| Kingsy | it also seems to crash a little more than it used to.. just randomly stops.. | 08:26 |
| Kingsy | for example banshee crashed yesterday.. randomly stopped worked | 08:26 |
| astraljava | Kingsy: By 'new', are you referring to the latest stable? | 08:26 |
| Kingsy | yeah 12.04 | 08:26 |
| Sysi | I like that "not responding" thingy, way nicer than killall | 08:26 |
| astraljava | Kingsy: For me, 12.04 hasn't done anything wrong thus far. Ok, I use Studio as the desktop, but it's so much based on Xubuntu it's practically the same. | 08:27 |
| astraljava | I think I had the same install from two weeks before the first beta. | 08:27 |
| Kingsy | well I guess I will just hang in there.. what stupid application is responsible for sending those "crash reports" ? | 08:27 |
| Kingsy | I hate those | 08:28 |
| Sysi | you know, if you ever made one it could be fixed :P | 08:28 |
| astraljava | Kingsy: That'd be apport. | 08:28 |
| Unit193 | apport? | 08:28 |
| Sysi | !info apport | 08:29 |
| ubottu | apport (source: apport): automatically generate crash reports for debugging. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 (precise), package size 138 kB, installed size 956 kB | 08:29 |
| v1adimir | hey i'm happy to send crash reports to *nix developers, no matter how stupid they make me look..;) :) | 08:29 |
| v1adimir | *as opposed to sending them to m$ | 08:29 |
| astraljava | Why'd they make _you_ look stupid? | 08:29 |
| v1adimir | why wouldn't he want to send them? ;p | 08:30 |
| astraljava | Well, I gave up on that one. :) | 08:30 |
| v1adimir | :$ | 08:30 |
| Sysi | I think I stopped after five similar about blueman on my wubi-xubuntu on macbook | 08:30 |
| astraljava | Right, I am not dissing wubi nor its developers, but I wouldn't have cared even about the first one. | 08:33 |
| astraljava | But then again, I wouldn't be using it in the first place, either. | 08:33 |
| v1adimir | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport/PackageHooks < so stuff can be excluded? | 08:34 |
| Unit193 | Per application too. | 08:34 |
| v1adimir | cool | 08:34 |
| Kingsy | question, not ubuntu specific. when you apt-get purge a package.. I am assuming by purge it means "totally remove" how come the size that is purged is always less than the size that is installed? | 08:39 |
| Kingsy | I have always wondered that | 08:39 |
| Kingsy | Sysi: you still around? | 08:54 |
| Kingsy | or anyone? I am looking to get a vpn working so I can setup daap to stream music.. or something along those lines.. | 08:56 |
| Kingsy | was wondering what the easiest vpn solution is with xubuntu | 08:56 |
| Unit193 | The network manager says it can handle it. | 08:58 |
| Kingsy | Unit193: yeah, I was looking at that.. but I am using a vnc server to control my pc at the moment (I am not at home) and for some reason when you try to create a vpn connection its just all greyed out.. | 08:59 |
| Kingsy | why would that be? | 08:59 |
| Sysi | Kingsy: you want to stream music from your home machine? I'd use vlc or icecast | 09:05 |
| Kingsy | hmm never thought about those solutions.. | 09:06 |
| Kingsy | is icecast any good? | 09:07 |
| Sysi | the most used streaming afaik | 09:07 |
| Sysi | though can be a bit complex to set up | 09:07 |
| Sysi | pulseaudio has some in-built streaming but I don't really know about that | 09:08 |
| Kingsy | Sysi: how does icecast work? http ? | 09:12 |
| Sysi | I've only been on client-side, might be | 09:13 |
| Kingsy | Sysi: and what was the client side like? were you able to choose songs etc? | 09:13 |
| Sysi | it's a stream, server end decides what to play | 09:14 |
| Kingsy | hmm thats not really what I want then :P | 09:14 |
| Kingsy | I might try daap over a vpn | 09:15 |
| Kingsy | it means I can use banshee | 09:15 |

| kth | Hello well_laid_lawn. With kernel 3.3 the problem is solved. I have installed fedora 17 and it works fine. Kan I make a kenel update in xubuntu | 10:15 |
| kth | Like xubuntu better than fedora | 10:16 |
| kth | anyone? Kernel update? | 10:21 |
| astraljava | kth: There are some newer kernels packaged for precise on LP, but we cannot recommend using them, they have no support. Warranty void. :) | 10:29 |
| Myrtti | "warranty" even | 10:30 |
| kth | got it | 10:30 |

| untaken | I have gedit open, but I can't find where it is in my workspaces. I can see it running, and when I open a gedit on the file again,it says its already open. ps aux lists it to, but can't see it my workspaces. Any ideas? | 10:41 |
| untaken | I could kill it off... but I wonder if there is a way to get it to show up? | 10:41 |

| Kingsy | that is such a dumb question I know.. but I just cant find it in /etc/init.d/ restart doesnt see it.. and neither does "service" | 13:03 |
| baizon | Kingsy: try sudo initctl restart smbd | 13:08 |
| baizon | This doesnt work? /etc/init.d/samba restart | 13:08 |

| baizon | sudo service smbd restart <- that? | 13:09 |
| baizon | or this? sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart | 13:09 |
| Kingsy | baizon: how the hell did this happen.. it wasnt installed.. | 13:14 |
| Kingsy | ubuntu must have missed it?? haha | 13:14 |
| Kingsy | anyway it works now | 13:14 |
| baizon | ehh =) | 13:14 |
| Kingsy | baizon: have you ever used openvpn with samba? | 13:16 |

| martinphone | yes, ochosi but im looking for a fast way of writting it be it in chat or libreoffice, and I dont find it | 13:58 |
| martinphone | found it in that list though | 13:58 |
| ochosi | that list also contains the unicode numbers for each char | 13:59 |
| ochosi | so you can easily insert the chars into other apps if you remember the number :) | 13:59 |

| ochosi | yes | 13:59 |
| ochosi | martinphone: hit ctrl+shift+u and then enter the number | 14:01 |
| martinphone | noob here: i only get to write large strings of uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu folowed by those numbers, what does that u stand for? | 14:01 |
| ochosi | then hit enter and you get the character | 14:01 |
| martinphone | aso | 14:01 |

| sdasdasdas | Ah, come on, there has to be a way. I've been trying to do it via OMG! Ubuntu but there is not 12.04 guide as there are a lot of dependency issues. | 14:06 |

| smilyy | Hi, gfxcard radeon 3870, installed default system, after boot black/blue screen = hangs, booted with nomodeset xdriver=vesa got same result | 14:08 |
| smilyy | how can i boot into non graphical mode, since nomodeset is not working for me? | 14:08 |
| smilyy | so i could install fglrx driver manual | 14:08 |
| ochosi | smilyy: you should be able to get to recovery-mode via grub | 14:11 |
| smilyy | i do not even see the grub loader | 14:13 |
| smilyy | just after it the xubuntu loading screen | 14:13 |
| sdasdasdas | How do I fix this? The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 14:15 |
| sdasdasdas | xfce4-appmenu-plugin : Depends: libindicator6 (>= 0.3.90) but it is not installable | 14:15 |

| cousteau | when I press a dead acute followed by a C, I get a Ç (C with cedilla) rather than Ć (C with acute). IIRC this doesn't happen on Ubuntu 10.10. Is this because of XFCE or because somehing has changed in *buntu keyboard configs? | 14:15 |
| ochosi | cousteau: probably you're using a different keyboard-layout? there are quite a few different french kb-layouts | 14:17 |
| cousteau | I think the result of keyboard combinations is not layout-dependant | 14:17 |
| ochosi | cousteau: think again ;) | 14:17 |
| cousteau | (also, this is a spanish keyboard; anyway there's already a ç as a standalone key) | 14:18 |
| cousteau | ochosi, I mean, dead key combinations | 14:18 |
| ochosi | cousteau: yes, i know. and yes, they depend on kb-layout | 14:18 |
| cousteau | cool, that means someone has done something, and I can blame him on his own language | 14:18 |
| ochosi | smilyy: you have to hold "alt" while booting, then you'll get to grub's menu | 14:19 |
| ochosi | smilyy: (start right after bios has finished loading – or shortly before that :) ) | 14:19 |
| ochosi | cousteau: or you can blame the keycodes your keyboard sends | 14:20 |
| cousteau | nope | 14:20 |
| cousteau | my keyboard sends a keycode for an acute, and then a keycode for a C | 14:20 |
| cousteau | why the computer decides to interpret that as a C with cedilla instead of a C with acute is out of my comprehension | 14:21 |
| cousteau | my netbook interprets them as a c with acute (lubuntu 10.04) | 14:22 |
| smilyy | ochosi, thx for this | 14:25 |
| ochosi | smilyy: np. and good luck! | 14:25 |
| cousteau | seems that the files /usr/share/X11/locale/iso8859-{1,15}/Compose associate <dead_acute> <c> to ç | 14:31 |
| cousteau | however ubuntu and lubuntu seem to override this behavior | 14:31 |
| cousteau | which is good since I _already_ have a ç | 14:31 |
| cousteau | (and I do never use it) | 14:34 |
| smilyy | funny thing: after booting with nomodeset or xforcevesa or xdriver=vesa, nothing worked, text parameter was the solution... i could slap myself ;) | 14:42 |
| smilyy | next time i make a minimal install and install fglrx first, thx for your help :) | 14:44 |
| ochosi | smilyy: good you managed :) many people don't get past graphical errors | 14:48 |

| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| Simooon | xubuntu387, My sound stopped working not that long ago, i tried turning master headphone and speaker on and off in different sequences a couple of times using alsamixer and suddenly it worked again, not really a good solution, but it worked for me, perhaps it is worth a shot. | 15:09 |
| xubuntu387 | I don't have any options for headphones | 15:17 |
| xubuntu387 | I change all my outputs but nothing seems to change anything | 15:17 |
| smilyy | you are not alone my sound is also not working after a fresh install :s | 15:24 |
| ochosi | smilyy, xubuntu387: if you find out how to fix your sound, please don't forget to submit a bugreport on launchpad about it! | 15:29 |
| smilyy | ochosi: just realized its just some gstreamer problem | 15:34 |
| smilyy | with vlc i get proper output | 15:34 |
| smilyy | some weird bug, gstreamer cant handle files from manual mounted devices + missing codecs, both problems are well known. | 15:59 |
| holstein | interesting.. so the sound is working? if you move the files to an internal drive? | 16:00 |
| smilyy | the device where the files are on have to be auto-mounted | 16:01 |
| holstein | smilyy: how was that confirmed? | 16:02 |
| Sysi | try gvfs-mount instead of sudo mount? | 16:02 |

| yondering | hi, got a question.. I'm trying to install xubuntu 12.04 x64 from a cd... I've verified the hash and I can install in a VM without issue using the iso itself.. but trying to boot the live cd on the pc itself seems to hang on the "install" screen with no options available. | 16:45 |
| yondering | Any ideas? | 16:45 |
| baizon | have you done the partitioning ? | 16:50 |
| superuser | is there a way to have easy access to my windows shares in xubunu? | 16:51 |
| yondering | It doesn't give me the option to do any partitioning.. this is the first "install" screen that appears. | 16:51 |
| yondering | by memory, I believe this is the screen that should be asking me to select a language. ;) | 16:52 |
| baizon | yondering: have you tried boot into the system? | 16:52 |
| genii-around | Possibly it can't deduce your hard drive controller chipset or you may be using some software raid under MS | 16:52 |
| baizon | superuser: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently | 16:53 |
| yondering | I'm using the standard sata controller on an asus pfq pro mobo.. no raid. | 16:53 |
| yondering | er, p5q pro, rather. | 16:53 |
| yondering | baizon, I've been able to install previous versions of ubuntu without issue, and I was able to install sabayon 9 x64 the other day on the same box. I'm lazy, however, and I'd prefer to just use xubuntu. | 16:54 |
| yondering | unless you mean selecting the live cd session from the grub menu on the cd.. it's not giving me the option. | 16:56 |
| yondering | ah well, guess I've got to stick with sabayon.. thanks for the suggestions, all :) | 17:00 |
