[02:01] <bunty> hey guysanyone up ?
[02:02] <bunty> just installed 12.04 and it didn't create my user "bunty" for me. At login I used "guest" to login
[02:02] <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 ?
[02:06] <Unit193> How did you end up doing that??  Try the recovery mode, see if you can use that.
[02:47] <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
[02:48] <holstein> if it were me, i would just try both
[02:49] <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
[02:50] <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
[02:51] <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
[05:07] <asterismo> any chance to substitute thunar with nautilus bu default?
[05:07] <asterismo> by*
[05:07] <Unit193> Not really.
[05:08] <asterismo> so, somethings i cannot really understand
[05:08] <asterismo> Unit193, and why is that?
[05:09] <Unit193> Heavy depends, takes over, thunar is part of the Xfce project, etc.

[08:25] <josy> hi all
[08:46] <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.
[08:51] <Sysi> xwalk: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/4282/disabling-touchpad-taptoclick-with-gsynaptics-nb-the-caveat/
[08:52] <Sysi> xwalk: there are couple of line in the bottom, create touchpad.sh, set it to be executable and add to autostart
[08:56] <xwalk> Sysi: Thanks for that.
[09:01] <Spike29> -!- Spike29
[09:02] <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.
[09:03] <Sysi> xwalk: IIRC that file was for HAL that isn't used anymore
[09:04] <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.
[10:36] <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"
[10:37] <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
[10:38] <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
[10:42] <Os_Maleus> knome: thanks for Your advise!

[15:38] <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?
[15:42] <xubuntu308> hi all
[15:43] <xubuntu308> I recentcly changed my mother mother board, since then I don't have any sound
[15:47] <xubuntu308> the mother board is an  nVidia-nForce
[15:47] <xubuntu308> I use the integrated sound card
[15:51] <xubuntu308> is anybody willing to help me?
[15:52] <GridCube> !anyone
[15:52] <xubuntu308> sorry I am not very familiar with the irc
[15:53] <pleia2> xubuntu308: might want to give this a shot https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/
[15:55] <GridCube> xubuntu308, :) whats your problem?
[15:55] <pleia2> sound isn't working
[15:56] <xubuntu308> alsamixer returns "no such file or directory"
[15:57] <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
[15:58] <xubuntu308> but "the mixer can not be opened: No such file or directory"
[15:58] <xubuntu308> when I type alsamixer
[15:59] <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
[16:00] <GridCube> okay
[16:00] <GridCube> do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get purge alsamixer && sudo apt-get install alsamixer
[16:00] <xubuntu308> ok
[16:02] <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
[16:03] <GridCube> oh, then you are installing stuff already
[16:03] <xubuntu308> but this may do the same
[16:03] <xubuntu308> yes
[16:04] <xubuntu308> I am fighting with for 10 hours now
[16:04] <xubuntu308> at one moment alsa was working
[16:04] <xubuntu308> but no sound
[16:05] <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
[16:06] <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
[16:07] <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
[16:08] <GridCube> yes, but you just better reboot and all the drivers should boot properly
[16:09] <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
[16:10] <xubuntu308> if I reboot I will loose chat id
[16:10] <GridCube> then you /nick
[16:10] <GridCube> /nick choosennickname
[16:11] <xubuntu308> ok
[16:11] <GridCube> try it now :)
[16:11] <xubuntu308> :)
[16:15] <xubuntu308_> so I here am ..
[16:15] <xubuntu308_> back
[16:15] <GridCube> :)
[16:15] <xubuntu308_> so what is the simpliest way to check sound
[16:16] <xubuntu308_> speaker-test
[16:16] <xubuntu308_> ?
[16:16] <GridCube> or play some musics
[16:16] <xubuntu308_> yep
[16:16] <xubuntu308_> using my player?
[16:17] <GridCube> sure
[16:17] <xubuntu308_> (foobnix which I like very much)
[16:17] <xubuntu308_> :)
[16:17] <GridCube> :)
[16:17] <GridCube> i have to go for a while
[16:17] <xubuntu308_> ok
[16:18] <xubuntu308_> I will continue to follow the SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
[16:19] <xubuntu308_> not working :(
[16:26] <xubuntu308_> ok so if anyone is still able to help me
[16:27] <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?
[16:29] <Mathsterk> Lord`Saladin: tried pressing somewhere else than the panels in fullscreen?
[16:30] <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.
[16:32] <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
[16:33] <xubuntu308_> here is the result of alsa-info.sh
[16:33] <xubuntu308_>  /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <xubuntu308_> how to do that
[16:55] <xubuntu308_> ?
[16:55] <xubuntu308_> I am using the interated chat
[16:56] <xubuntu308_> the webchat from xubuntu site
[16:57] <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
[16:58] <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
[16:59] <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
[17:00] <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
[17:01] <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
[17:34] <martinphone> I need help to play simcity2000 with xubuntu. I have the extracted.rar file and I see the setup.exe file, what do I do now?
[17:34] <martinphone> wine?
[17:35] <Unit193> I remember bringing this up for you before: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=504
[17:40] <martinphone> i dont, but thanks
[17:41] <Unit193> Hope you have one of the older versions...
[17:45] <martinphone> version means sim city's or wine's?
[17:45] <martinphone> I have wine 1.4
[17:48] <knome> martinphone, please try reading the table again. it's clear enough if you read the whole table
[17:51] <martinphone> i guess wine's, but I dont see anything that states it
[17:51] <martinphone> anyhow, it works
[17:52] <knome> martinphone, the columns are "version", "description", "rating", "wine version", "test results" and "comments". which version do you think "version" means?
[17:53] <knome> martinphone, please start paying attention to what you are being told.

[21:27] <Unit193> !pl
[21:27] <Myrtti> lright, let me look it up a bit
[21:28] <Myrtti> Krasus: what do you mean by freezing when system loads? at what point is that?
[21:31] <Krasus> Myrtti, it s when u get Xubuntu logo
[21:32] <Krasus> and this short line
[21:32] <Myrtti> before logging in?
[21:32] <Krasus> with white indicator going from left to rught
[21:32] <Krasus> y
[21:32] <Krasus> this indicator freezes and nothing there happens
[21:33] <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 ?
[21:34] <Unit193> Also may want to disable the splash, it'll tell you more info.
[21:34] <Krasus> trying to boot lubuntu 12.04 now
[21:34] <Krasus> to see if it freezes to
[21:36] <Krasus> it s the same it freezes or restart
[21:36] <Krasus> the mashine
[21:36] <Myrtti> Krasus: when you reboot the machine, press shift key to get to the Grub loader, then, if I remember correctly you press e to get to edit it
[21:36] <GoodbyeEarl> good evening
[21:36] <Unit193> Howdy GoodbyeEarl.
[21:36] <Unit193> e does edit the line, yes.
[21:37] <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
[21:38] <GoodbyeEarl> is it already happen to you?
[21:38] <Krasus> Myrtti, and then?
[21:40] <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.
[21:45] <GoodbyeEarl> no one??
[21:46] <gridcube_> care to repeat your problem GoodbyeEarl
[21:46] <gridcube_> ?
[21:47] <GoodbyeEarl> sure, well i have facing some problems with my audio
[21:47] <GoodbyeEarl> because some times it plays and some times it doesnt
[21:48] <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
[21:49] <GoodbyeEarl> not fellows? didnt understand
[21:51] <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
[21:52] <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
[21:53] <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
[21:54] <Myrtti> you removed splash, and added i915.modeset=1 and saved?
[21:54] <Krasus> i will try it now
[21:54] <GoodbyeEarl> is it sudo killall pulseaudio?
[21:57] <Unit193> Did you try pulseaudio -k  ?
[22:00] <GoodbyeEarl> ?
[23:03] <m00se> ...
