[00:06] <xubuntu119> hello all.
[00:07] <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.
[00:08] <xubuntu119> I have already disabled the cheap software fake-raid emulation in the BIOS, to no avail.
[00:08] <xubuntu119> Any ideas?
[00:09] <GridCube> xubuntu119, check your ide/sata cables are well connected
[00:09] <GridCube> change the ports they are at
[00:10] <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.
[00:11] <xubuntu119> Is there a way to launch the text-based alternate installer from the desktop livecd?
[00:13] <xubuntu119> ...gonna reboot...
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <xubuntu747> k and that should solve the problem?
[00:16] <GridCube> maybe
[00:18] <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
[00:19] <GridCube> stuff you dont need
[00:19] <xubuntu747> Alright, thanks i'll try that out.
[01:41] <al-pal> Hi there guys
[01:42] <al-pal> has anybody had any experience installing Nvidia Optimus Drivers
[01:43] <al-pal> I just installed the bumbell bee driver but not sure what to do from there
[02:51] <sonia> hey all, I have a slightly irrelevant question if anyone's around :)
[02:53] <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
[02:54] <well_laid_lawn> so shoot
[02:55] <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
[02:56] <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
[02:57] <well_laid_lawn> !find cisco
[02:58] <lotato> hello!
[03:00] <Unit193> sonia: Another good thing would be to find a program that does the same thing, but that's just another option.
[03:01] <sonia> Unit193, I'll try - that'd probably help, yes. S'just I need this particular one for class.
[03:02] <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/
[03:03] <Unit193> Ah, understandable.
[03:05] <lotato> How do I access input/output devices on xubuntu? My internal microphone on my laptop doesn't work :<
[03:06] <sonia> thanks all! :)
[03:09] <well_laid_lawn> lotato: have you tried pavucontrol?
[03:09] <well_laid_lawn> !info pavucontrol
[03:09] <sonia> ^ that's neat, I use it
[03:12] <lotato> Here is a screenshot of the input menu
[03:12] <lotato> http://storage1.static.itmages.com/i/12/0626/h_1340680335_8812198_4912692eca.png
[03:13] <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
[03:18] <well_laid_lawn> lotato: in a terminal run   alsamixer   press F4 for capture and make sure the mic is selected and unmuted
[03:21] <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
[03:22] <well_laid_lawn> lotato: you need to press F4 to be in the capture device screen
[03:24] <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
[03:26] <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
[03:27] <lotato> Thank you so much well_laid_lawn; it appears that my microphone is working perfectly now!
[03:28] <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?
[03:29] <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
[03:30] <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!
[05:18] <xubuntu867> hello
[05:18] <xubuntu867> hunter2
[05:37] <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?
[05:38] <baizon> xubuntu949: dpkg --reconfigure gnome-power-manager
[05:38] <baizon> ups
[05:38] <baizon> wrong
[05:38] <baizon> sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-power-manager
[05:39] <baizon> or try sudo apt-get install -f
[05:40] <xubuntu949> am I able to do that if I can't log in?
[05:41] <baizon> no
[05:41] <baizon> so when you see the login window
[05:42] <baizon> press ctrl+alt+F1
[05:42] <baizon> then log in and do that
[05:46] <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
[06:04] <xubuntu949> Can anyone help me out?
[06:08] <v1adimir> I would, if I could. :)
[06:10] <v1adimir> uh btw., xubuntu = xfce power manager
[06:19] <baizon> !ask | xubuntu949
[06:22] <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
[06:23] <well_laid_lawn> well you should do your username then password
[06:25] <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?
[06:26] <well_laid_lawn> try sudo apt-get install -f
[06:27] <well_laid_lawn> what's wrong with the xfce4 power manager?
[06:28] <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..
[06:31] <xubuntu949> Do you have any idea why this happened?
[06:32] <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 ...
[06:33] <xubuntu949> oh no, I have rebooted.
[06:36] <xubuntu949> well thanks for the help, I appreciate it. If this does not work then I will come back on
[06:40] <kth> Hi! I just purchased a Toshiba NB520 and xubuntu can't identify the screen. Poor screen resolution. Can someone help?
[06:42] <v1adimir> kth: specs say it's: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD so maybe that can help some
[06:44] <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?
[06:45] <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
[06:46] <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?
[06:47] <kth> Det skulle hjälpa :)
[06:47] <selinuxa> no, se for Security Enhanced ;P
[06:47] <kth> OK.. English then :)
[06:47] <selinuxa> hehe
[06:48] <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
[06:49] <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
[06:50] <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
[06:51]  * 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.
[06:52] <selinuxa> thanks for tip, Unit193
[06:54] <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...
[06:58] <v1adimir> kth: are you running the latest update 3.2.0-25-generic kernel? in terminal: uname -r
[06:59] <v1adimir> *stable for Precise
[06:59] <kth> 3.2.0-25-generic
[06:59] <kth> Yes
[07:00] <v1adimir> heh ok
[07:04] <kth> So... What do I do with arandr????
[07:05] <well_laid_lawn> arandr should the choice in resolutions you have
[07:06] <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
[07:07] <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
[07:08] <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?
[07:09] <selinuxa> you can generate one
[07:09] <selinuxa> with sudo Xorg -configure
[07:09] <well_laid_lawn> !xrandr
[07:09] <selinuxa> no, shouldn't be.
[07:09] <v1adimir> selinuxa: nividia-settings generated one for me, so prolly not there by default
[07:10] <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
[07:11] <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
[07:12] <kth> What log?
[07:13] <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
[07:14] <kth> wait...
[07:17] <well_laid_lawn> your three dots are nearly up...
[07:18] <well_laid_lawn> !pastebinit
[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
[07:19] <kth> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060312/
[07:19] <well_laid_lawn> k
[07:19] <kth> Is that correct pasted?
[07:20] <well_laid_lawn> yep
[07:21] <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
[07:22] <kth> I mean... I'm to stupid to fix it with out help :)
[07:22] <kth> How do I sort out the video driver?
[07:23] <well_laid_lawn> we have to find out what chip you have first so in a terminal do   lspci | grep -i vga
[07:25] <kth> How do I type a standing line?
[07:26] <well_laid_lawn> normally shift+\ so hold down shift and hit the \
[07:26] <kth> swedish keybord... wait
[07:27] <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> :)
[07:28] <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
[07:29] <well_laid_lawn> s/44//
[07:29] <well_laid_lawn> k
[07:31] <kth> I will change comp so I can copy / paste
[07:32] <kth_> Back now. Please repeat
[07:32] <well_laid_lawn>   lspci | grep -i vga
[07:33] <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 :)
[07:34] <v1adimir> I had the link on how to handle it the other day, but someone else is gonna have to do it now :f
[07:35] <well_laid_lawn> seems it needs this solution - https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+faq/1901
[07:36] <well_laid_lawn> make the xorg.conf in your home directory then use    sudo mv -v
[07:37] <kth_> I will try.
[07:39] <v1adimir> oic the intel gma is one and the same on that computer, sry about that
[07:43] <well_laid_lawn> kth_: I can't find any horizsync in your log file so I'd try the values the solution uses
[08:16] <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?
[08:17] <well_laid_lawn> you know this is #xubuntu ?
[08:18] <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 :))
[08:22] <trotsky> sorry
[08:23] <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..
[08:24] <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
[08:25] <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
[08:26] <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
[08:27] <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" ?
[08:28] <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?
[08:29] <Sysi> !info apport
[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?
[08:30] <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
[08:33] <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.
[08:34] <v1adimir> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport/PackageHooks < so stuff can be excluded?
[08:34] <Unit193> Per application too.
[08:34] <v1adimir> cool
[08:39] <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
[08:54] <Kingsy> Sysi: you still around?
[08:56] <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
[08:58] <Unit193> The network manager says it can handle it.
[08:59] <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?
[09:05] <Sysi> Kingsy: you want to stream music from your home machine? I'd use vlc or icecast
[09:06] <Kingsy> hmm never thought about those solutions..
[09:07] <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
[09:08] <Sysi> pulseaudio has some in-built streaming but I don't really know about that
[09:12] <Kingsy> Sysi: how does icecast work? http ?
[09:13] <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?
[09:14] <Sysi> it's a stream, server end decides what to play
[09:14] <Kingsy> hmm thats not really what I want then :P
[09:15] <Kingsy> I might try daap over a vpn
[09:15] <Kingsy> it means I can use banshee
[10:14] <kth> I'm back
[10:15] <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
[10:16] <kth> Like xubuntu better than fedora
[10:21] <kth> anyone? Kernel update?
[10:29] <astraljava> kth: There are some newer kernels packaged for precise on LP, but we cannot recommend using them, they have no support. Warranty void. :)
[10:30] <Myrtti> "warranty" even
[10:30] <kth> got it
[10:31] <kth> thanks anyway
[10:41] <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?
[10:58] <astraljava> Myrtti: I'll remember that.
[11:33] <Marzata> is it possible to install a lxde session in xubuntu?
[13:03] <Kingsy> guys, how do you restart the samba process on xubuntu?
[13:03] <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"

[13:09] <baizon> sudo service smbd restart <- that?
[13:09] <baizon> or this? sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart
[13:14] <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

[13:16] <Kingsy> baizon: have you ever used openvpn with samba?

[13:18] <baizon> you have to google it :)
[13:50] <martinphone> i need to write french oeuf, but with 3 letters: "oe" u and f, I have found æ, but not "oe"
[13:50] <martinphone> can you help me out?
[13:54] <ochosi> martinphone: where were you looking?
[13:54] <martinphone> ochosi, my keyboard, now googling
[13:55] <ochosi> martinphone: accessories > character map?
[13:57] <ochosi> martinphone: œ
[13:57] <ochosi> martinphone: or actually: œuf
[13:57] <Marceilango> My usb modem is not working in Xubuntu. Can anyone please help me fix it?
[13:58] <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
[13:59] <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] <martinphone> ochosi, U+0153?
[13:59] <ochosi> yes
[14:01] <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] <martinphone> œ
[14:01] <martinphone> wow
[14:01] <ochosi> (luckily i know you're german so i know what you mean with "aso" :) )
[14:02] <martinphone> thx
[14:02] <ochosi> np
[14:02] <martinphone> lol
[14:02] <Pici> unicode
[14:02] <martinphone> aint there an easier way? I can get an æ just with altgr+a
[14:03] <ochosi> martinphone: depends on your kb-layout
[14:03] <martinphone> 0153
[14:03] <martinphone> ok
[14:03] <ochosi> you can also change that to french with a kb-shortcut (if you know where œ is there)
[14:03] <martinphone> œ
[14:03] <martinphone> ok
[14:04] <Marceilango> My usb modem is not working in Xubuntu. Can anyone please help me fix it?
[14:04] <sdasdasdas> I'm trying to install the global menu in Xubuntu. Can someone help?
[14:05] <ochosi> sdasdasdas: that's currently not really supported by xfce4-indicator-plugin. it'll most likely result in a buggy interface
[14:06] <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.
[14:07] <sdasdasdas> And i would fix them if I knew how to. That's what I need help with.
[14:07]  * astraljava wanders away thinking 'What's a global menu?'
[14:08] <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
[14:11] <ochosi> smilyy: you should be able to get to recovery-mode via grub
[14:13] <smilyy> i do not even see the grub loader
[14:13] <smilyy> just after it the xubuntu loading screen
[14:15] <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] <sdasdasdas>                         Recommends: appmenu-gtk2 but it is not installable
[14:15] <sdasdasdas> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[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?
[14:17] <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 ;)
[14:18] <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
[14:19] <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 :) )
[14:20] <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
[14:21] <cousteau> why the computer decides to interpret that as a C with cedilla instead of a C with acute is out of my comprehension
[14:22] <cousteau> my netbook interprets them as a c with acute (lubuntu 10.04)
[14:25] <smilyy> ochosi, thx for this
[14:25] <ochosi> smilyy: np. and good luck!
[14:31] <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
[14:34] <cousteau> (and I do never use it)
[14:42] <smilyy> funny thing: after booting with nomodeset or xforcevesa or xdriver=vesa, nothing worked, text parameter was the solution... i could slap myself ;)
[14:44] <smilyy> next time i make a minimal install and install fglrx first, thx for your help :)
[14:48] <ochosi> smilyy: good you managed :) many people don't get past graphical errors
[14:49] <xubuntu387> hey guys I can't get my sound to work in xubuntu 12.04 can you help me out?
[15:09] <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.
[15:17] <xubuntu387> I don't have any options for headphones
[15:17] <xubuntu387> I change all my outputs but nothing seems to change anything
[15:24] <smilyy> you are not alone my sound is also not working after a fresh install :s
[15:29] <ochosi> smilyy, xubuntu387: if you find out how to fix your sound, please don't forget to submit a bugreport on launchpad about it!
[15:34] <smilyy> ochosi: just realized its just some gstreamer problem
[15:34] <smilyy> with vlc i get proper output
[15:59] <smilyy> some weird bug, gstreamer cant handle files from manual mounted devices + missing codecs, both problems are well known.
[16:00] <holstein> interesting.. so the sound is working? if you move the files to an internal drive?
[16:01] <smilyy> the device where the files are on have to be auto-mounted
[16:02] <holstein> smilyy: how was that confirmed?
[16:02] <Sysi> try gvfs-mount instead of sudo mount?
[16:02] <holstein> did you find an existing bug report?
[16:03] <smilyy> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gmusicbrowser/+bug/892333
[16:04] <smilyy> missing codecs was just related to my stupidnes ;)
[16:45] <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?
[16:50] <baizon> have you done the partitioning ?
[16:51] <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.
[16:52] <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
[16:53] <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.
[16:54] <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.
[16:56] <yondering> unless you mean selecting the live cd session from the grub menu on the cd.. it's not giving me the option.
[17:00] <yondering> ah well, guess I've got to stick with sabayon.. thanks for the suggestions, all :)
[17:01] <superuser> thanks baizon,
[17:31] <baizon> np np
[19:00] <warhell> hello, i have a question on custom compiling kernel i already done, but for some reason i can add reposoitores anymore it crashes and errors ot.
[19:00] <warhell> out.
[19:03] <xubuntu529> Hi. I am unable to log in due to the configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Would it be better for me to try sudo apt-get install -f or do a sudo apt-get autoclean?
[19:03] <xubuntu529> Would doing one of theses delete any of my files?
[19:04] <xubuntu529> I installed all the software nearly a year ago and it has been working fine, up until yesterday.
[19:17] <warhell> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1061339/
[19:17] <warhell> this is the error im recieving after i compiled and made my kernel and even in your kernel it says this.
[19:17] <warhell> so im kinda clueless on how to fix it.
[19:39] <xubuntu529> after I have done a sudo apt-get install -f, how can I go back to the log in screen to see if it has worked?
[20:08] <pjotter> Hello everybody. I am trying to change the default file manager from Thunar to Xfe. I tried selecting xfe in the preferred applications, but this doesn't seem to work. Whatever I choose in preferred applications, the default is always thunar. Help would be appriciated.
[20:14] <pjotter> anyone?
[20:37] <pjotter> Hi all. I have a question about the default file manager in Xubuntu 12.04.
[20:38] <Sysi> in what case wrong fm opens?
[20:39] <Sysi> you may need to fiddle with update-alternatives but I've never used that
[20:42] <pjotter> Does anybody know how to change the default file manager in Xubuntu 12.04. I would like to change it from Thunar to Xfe. But for some reason, changing it in settingsmanager doesn't do anything. The default seems to be stuck on thunar.
[20:52] <pjotter> How can I change the default file manager to something else than Thunar?
[20:55] <metals> hi
[20:55] <metals> anybody knows how to install google chrome on Xubuntu?
[20:58] <metals> anybody knows how to install google chrome on Xubuntu?
[21:00] <Sysi> do you need the pdf-thingy or will chromium do?
[21:00] <Sysi> !info chromium-browser
[21:01] <metals> chromium doesn't load photos
[21:01] <metals> cuz of that, Chrome I guess
[21:01] <Sysi> download -deb and use sudo dpkg -i or maybe synaptic
[21:02] <metals> don't know how
[21:02] <metals> software center doesn't have it?
