bunty | how can I add my user bunty.. I tried sudo useradd ... but obviously user guest isn't in the sudo list | 02:02 |
bunty | any suggestions ? | 02:02 |
Unit193 | How did you end up doing that?? Try the recovery mode, see if you can use that. | 02:06 |
pablo_ | hello everyone. Quick question | 02:47 |
pablo_ | I just installed xubuntu alongside win7. I had win7 activated with the extreme loader. Now the dual boot menu presents me the option to boot to Win7 or to Win Vista. Which one should I choose? I don't know hot the loader works | 02:47 |
holstein | if it were me, i would just try both | 02:48 |
pablo_ | couldn't I run the risk of losing Win's activation or something? | 02:49 |
holstein | i have a machine that grub sees "windows 7" and "windows vista loader" ...one is the OS, and one is a recovery partition | 02:49 |
holstein | pablo_: i have no idea | 02:49 |
pablo_ | oh... the vista must be a recovery patition, then | 02:49 |
holstein | pablo_: i wouldnt think so... i would think you would run the risk of seeing a recovery partition startup | 02:49 |
pablo_ | this computer came with win vista and has a recovery disk | 02:49 |
pablo_ | thank you so very much. I'm really new to this | 02:50 |
holstein | problem is, theres no one that can tell you what is what there... maye who ever maintains "exrtreme loader", whatever that is | 02:50 |
holstein | pablo_: OIC.. thats a way of getting around that license? | 02:51 |
holstein | pablo_: i cant help with that.. you should pay for windows | 02:51 |
holstein | cant/wont | 02:51 |
pablo_ | thanks | 02:51 |

josy | hi all | 08:25 |
xwalk | Hello. Is there a way to edit the 50-synaptics.conf file in xorg.conf.d to disable the ClickPad feature of a touchpad device? I'm using awesome and can't seem to find out the right way to do it. | 08:46 |
Sysi | xwalk: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/4282/disabling-touchpad-taptoclick-with-gsynaptics-nb-the-caveat/ | 08:51 |
Sysi | xwalk: there are couple of line in the bottom, create touchpad.sh, set it to be executable and add to autostart | 08:52 |
xwalk | Sysi: Thanks for that. | 08:56 |
Spike29 | -!- Spike29 | 09:01 |
xwalk | Sysi: That definitely worked, but is there any reason why adding the Option "ClickPad" "false" line to the 50-synaptics.conf file wasn't working? | 09:02 |
xwalk | Sysi: It may be ignorance on my part, but it was to my understanding that editing that file would do the trick. | 09:02 |
Sysi | xwalk: IIRC that file was for HAL that isn't used anymore | 09:03 |
Sysi | but I've never wanted to touch anything near xorg.conf and I haven't used synaptics touchpad in a while | 09:04 |
xwalk | Sysi: I see. I think I remember reading something about that while I was in the xorg.conf man page yesterday now. | 09:04 |

Os_Maleus | anybody using here kmail and knowing how to change the "User-Agent"-entry there? | 10:36 |
Os_Maleus | I found a description that says the following: "Select Settings | Configure KMail ... Composer ... Headers tab ... Click on New ... Type the header's name in the Name: field ... To overwrite the "User-Agent:" header, type "User-Agent", for example ... Type the desired value in the Value: field ... Click OK" | 10:36 |
Os_Maleus | but if I follow it, closing the window for the settings over "Apply" and "OK", the changes are in fact not taken over. | 10:37 |
knome | Os_Maleus, is that a kde app? maybe try #kubuntu | 10:37 |
Os_Maleus | knome: thanks! ... actually, You are right. | 10:38 |
knome | not that it's completely offtopic here, but most of us don't know kde apps | 10:38 |

ubottu | A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 15:52 |
xubuntu308 | sorry I am not very familiar with the irc | 15:52 |
pleia2 | xubuntu308: might want to give this a shot https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/ | 15:53 |
GridCube | xubuntu308, :) whats your problem? | 15:55 |
pleia2 | sound isn't working | 15:55 |
xubuntu308 | alsamixer returns "no such file or directory" | 15:56 |
GridCube | xubuntu308, on a terminal write: "als" and then press tab twice | 15:57 |
GridCube | dont write the " | 15:57 |
xubuntu308 | alsa alsactl alsaloop alsamixer alsamixergui alsaucm | 15:57 |
GridCube | then, there is it | 15:57 |
xubuntu308 | yep | 15:57 |
xubuntu308 | but "the mixer can not be opened: No such file or directory" | 15:58 |
xubuntu308 | when I type alsamixer | 15:58 |
GridCube | well thats wrong | 15:59 |
GridCube | do sudo alsamixer | 15:59 |
xubuntu308 | done | 15:59 |
GridCube | and? | 15:59 |
xubuntu308 | result: the mixer can not be opened: No such file or directory | 15:59 |
GridCube | okay | 16:00 |
GridCube | do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get purge alsamixer && sudo apt-get install alsamixer | 16:00 |
xubuntu308 | ok | 16:00 |
xubuntu308 | hmm | 16:02 |
xubuntu308 | currently running step 1 from here | 16:02 |
xubuntu308 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure | 16:02 |
xubuntu308 | it was in background when chatting | 16:02 |
GridCube | oh, then you are installing stuff already | 16:03 |
xubuntu308 | but this may do the same | 16:03 |
xubuntu308 | yes | 16:03 |
xubuntu308 | I am fighting with for 10 hours now | 16:04 |
xubuntu308 | at one moment alsa was working | 16:04 |
xubuntu308 | but no sound | 16:04 |
GridCube | mmhm if that happens you might need to do sudo alsa force-unload && sudo alsa force-reload | 16:05 |
GridCube | that usually fix things up | 16:05 |
xubuntu308 | so the step 1 is done | 16:06 |
xubuntu308 | do I have to reboot? | 16:06 |
GridCube | not really | 16:06 |
GridCube | oh | 16:06 |
GridCube | it says you do | 16:06 |
GridCube | then you have to | 16:06 |
xubuntu308 | no | 16:07 |
xubuntu308 | just because I read that it is often helpful | 16:07 |
GridCube | :) | 16:07 |
xubuntu308 | so I can try to reload alsa | 16:07 |
GridCube | yes, but you just better reboot and all the drivers should boot properly | 16:08 |
xubuntu308 | I have also read that pulse can conflict | 16:09 |
GridCube | i havent had a problem yet | 16:09 |
xubuntu308 | ok | 16:09 |
* GridCube touches wood | 16:09 | |
xubuntu308 | if I reboot I will loose chat id | 16:10 |
GridCube | then you /nick | 16:10 |
GridCube | /nick choosennickname | 16:10 |
xubuntu308 | ok | 16:11 |

xubuntu308_ | speaker-test | 16:16 |
xubuntu308_ | ? | 16:16 |

Lord`Saladin | I just upgraded to Xubuntu 12.04 yesterday and ever since whenever I make a media player go full screen, my panels stay on top of the video. Is there any way to fix this besides setting my panels to auto-hide? | 16:27 |
Mathsterk | Lord`Saladin: tried pressing somewhere else than the panels in fullscreen? | 16:29 |
SandJ | Lord`Saladin - last night I viewed a movie in Xubuntu 12.04 for the first time. I used Parole to watch it full screen. The video was over the panels and they are not set to auto-hide. So what you are getting is not normal behaviour. | 16:30 |
Lord`Saladin | Mathsterk, SandJ: Huh, I just tried again, using Parole and then VLC (which I was using before) and the panels are no longer displaying. Weird. | 16:32 |
Lord`Saladin | Good, but weird. | 16:32 |
Lord`Saladin | Thanks for the help anyway. :) | 16:32 |
xubuntu308_ | concerning my sound issue | 16:32 |
xubuntu308_ | here is the result of alsa-info.sh | 16:33 |
xubuntu308_ | /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory | 16:33 |
GridCube | SandJ, i use smplayer and it works flawlessly | 16:54 |
GridCube | xubuntu308_, check that your user belongs to the "audio" group | 16:54 |
xubuntu308_ | hmm | 16:54 |
xubuntu308_ | how to do that | 16:55 |
xubuntu308_ | ? | 16:55 |
xubuntu308_ | I am using the interated chat | 16:55 |
xubuntu308_ | the webchat from xubuntu site | 16:56 |
GridCube | xubuntu308_, go to system > users and groups | 16:57 |
GridCube | and go to manage groups on you user and see if you belong to audio | 16:57 |
xubuntu308_ | oh | 16:58 |
xubuntu308_ | sorry | 16:58 |
xubuntu308_ | i did not get what you meant | 16:58 |
xubuntu308_ | yes I I am in the group | 16:58 |
GridCube | mmhm | 16:59 |
xubuntu308_ | I am currently trying the AlsaUpgradeScript | 16:59 |
GridCube | :) | 16:59 |
GridCube | ok | 16:59 |
GridCube | xubuntu308_, :) you could go to #ubuntustudio channel | 16:59 |
GridCube | they use xubuntu as their base and they should be more knowledgables on audio stuff | 17:00 |
xubuntu308_ | after reboot alsamixer is still retruning the same | 17:00 |
xubuntu308_ | hmm | 17:00 |
xubuntu308_ | interesting | 17:00 |
xubuntu308_ | I'll give it a try | 17:01 |
xubuntu308_ | thx | 17:01 |
GridCube | no problem, this is out of my league anyway :) they might know better | 17:01 |
xubuntu308_ | ok | 17:01 |
xubuntu308_ | thanks again | 17:01 |
GridCube | :) no problem | 17:01 |

knome | martinphone, please try reading the table again. it's clear enough if you read the whole table | 17:48 |
martinphone | i guess wine's, but I dont see anything that states it | 17:51 |
martinphone | anyhow, it works | 17:51 |
knome | martinphone, the columns are "version", "description", "rating", "wine version", "test results" and "comments". which version do you think "version" means? | 17:52 |
knome | martinphone, please start paying attention to what you are being told. | 17:53 |

Myrtti | Krasus: what do you mean by freezing when system loads? at what point is that? | 21:28 |
Krasus | Myrtti, it s when u get Xubuntu logo | 21:31 |
Krasus | and this short line | 21:32 |
Myrtti | before logging in? | 21:32 |

Krasus | this indicator freezes and nothing there happens | 21:32 |
Krasus | mb i will try to start lubuntu on this laptop | 21:33 |
Myrtti | Krasus: you could try to change the boot options to include i915.modeset=1 | 21:33 |
Krasus | it s where ? | 21:33 |
Unit193 | Also may want to disable the splash, it'll tell you more info. | 21:34 |

GoodbyeEarl | hey fellows, it has been some weeks that i'm facing some troubles with the sound of my xubuntu | 21:37 |
GoodbyeEarl | sometimes it works and some it doesnt | 21:37 |
GoodbyeEarl | I already installed all the packages posibles, i dont why it is happening | 21:37 |
GoodbyeEarl | is it already happen to you? | 21:38 |
Krasus | Myrtti, and then? | 21:38 |
Myrtti | find the line that says splash, remove that and add i915.modeset=1 to the end. Someone should correct me if I'm wrong, I can't check from anywhere now. | 21:40 |
GoodbyeEarl | no one?? | 21:45 |
gridcube_ | care to repeat your problem GoodbyeEarl | 21:46 |
gridcube_ | ? | 21:46 |
GoodbyeEarl | sure, well i have facing some problems with my audio | 21:47 |
GoodbyeEarl | because some times it plays and some times it doesnt | 21:47 |
pleia2 | GoodbyeEarl: are you sure your hardware is working right? (also, might want to ask everyone in the channel, not just the "fellows" - Myrtti and I aren't "fellows") | 21:48 |
gridcube_ | GoodbyeEarl, where you here earlier with another nick | 21:48 |
GoodbyeEarl | no the last time ive here was last month | 21:48 |
GoodbyeEarl | not fellows? didnt understand | 21:49 |
GoodbyeEarl | may i have to install some package? | 21:51 |
pleia2 | if it's working sometimes it sounds like everything is installed which should be installed | 21:51 |
pleia2 | do you find any pattern to when it works and when it doesn't? | 21:52 |
GoodbyeEarl | no, because some times i'm listening to a song then when i change to another it simply stop to work | 21:52 |
pleia2 | you might want to try killing the pulseaudio process and starting it again, see if that helps | 21:53 |
Krasus | Myrtti, with lubuntu it s the same | 21:53 |
Krasus | the system freezes on bootloader | 21:53 |
Krasus | i know that the machine is old | 21:53 |
Krasus | but it s only a install | 21:53 |
Myrtti | Krasus: did you try the bootloader change? | 21:53 |
Krasus | don t know how to do it | 21:53 |
Krasus | got a line called quite splash | 21:53 |
