| origamifreak | hello | 04:16 |
| origamifreak | anyone here? | 04:17 |
| origamifreak | hello? | 04:36 |
| Unit193 | !anybody | 04:41 |
| 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. | 04:41 |
| origamifreak | ok, just seeing if anyone was there to answer | 04:46 |
| origamifreak | I'm tryilng to get lubuntu to use the correct aspect ratio and a decent resolution on an external monitor. The external monitor is a 1080 HD tv and I'm running lubuntu off of an Asus 1000 he netbook. I know I'm probably not going to get 1080 hd resolution but non of the default values are the correct aspect ratio and a decent resolution. | 04:50 |
| origamifreak | I tried using the terminal and xrandr, but no luck | 04:51 |
| Unit193 | Did you try and see if generating an xorg.conf file helped? Or maybe arandr? I know mine supports more than it's pretending too so I just add what I want manually with xrandr. | 04:52 |
| origamifreak | I tried adding a couple different configurations using the terminal and xrandr but the screen just turned black when I applied the changes | 04:53 |
| origamifreak | I haven't tried arandr, Does it allow you to add different resolutions other than the default? | 04:54 |
| Unit193 | !fixres | 04:55 |
| Unit193 | !xorgconf | 04:55 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 04:55 |
| ubottu | The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. | 04:55 |
| Unit193 | It's just a GUI to xrandr, so I'd say not a ton of help. | 04:55 |
| origamifreak | ok thanks, ubottu and Unit193, I might try making an xorg.conf file. I'm still kind of new to Linux, so it may take a little study/ trial and error. | 04:58 |
| origamifreak | I've also tried other distros based off of Ubuntu that gave me a better resolution/ aspect ratio options, but lubuntu seems to be doing the best so far when it comes to speed | 05:00 |
| Unit193 | You could try and see what may differ. | 05:08 |
| origamifreak | Since it's a netbook (and several years old) I was looking for a really minimal linux distrobution. So far I've tried joli os, bodhi linux, crunchbang linux, and lubuntu. | 05:14 |
| origamifreak | lubuntu and joli os seem to work the best, Joli os is just a little slower and doesn't support some of the applets I want to install, but Lubuntu has this aspect ratio problem which makes everything look a little squished | 05:16 |
| holstein | the aspect ratio problem? | 05:25 |
| holstein | sometimes i fire up knoppix, and steal the xorg.conf from it | 05:26 |
| holstein | if it looks like you want on some other distro of linux, then you *can* make it look that way in lubuntu... it might be challenging though | 05:26 |
| Unit193 | I hear puppy gives good xorgs too, you seen it? | 05:44 |
| holstein | Unit193: your right... that would be better | 05:50 |
| holstein | you have that nice config at the startup | 05:50 |
| holstein | origamifreak: ^^ | 05:51 |
| origamifreak | hey, sorry, I was checking some stuff on my tv and computer | 06:15 |
| origamifreak | it turns out that the TV has a mode to display in 4x3 which is the correct aspect ratio | 06:15 |
| origamifreak | although I still might try and get an xorg.conf file or make my own | 06:17 |

| jarnos | I can not umount an usb stick. Umount anyway does not work for it in pcmanfm 0.9.9. | 08:37 |
| jarnos | Neither does sudo umount -f | 08:37 |
| jarnos | Oh, later it worked by pcmanfm. BTW, I could not umount the stick by Windows XP earlier today. | 08:40 |

| BMS1 | Hello wizards, does lubuntu not load the .config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml file by default? | 15:25 |
| BMS1 | I suppose not, since the lubuntu-rc.xml encourages copying it, but it would be nice to have several files loaded so I can segregate some stuff out into smaller, more manageable files. | 15:32 |
| sb1980 | hi! i've got a weird behaviour: when running mpd (via sonata) i can't view flash videos. i have to stop sonata (sometimes even disconnect) to view. anyone know what to do? | 17:09 |
| holstein | these days, i usually try the chrome browser (not chromium) since its got its own flash in there | 17:10 |
| leszek | which has nothing to do with the described problem holstein :P | 17:15 |
| holstein | its a suggestion for troubleshooting the current version of flash being used | 17:15 |
| leszek | sb1980: what is the output audio plugin you use for mpd ? It should be alsa not oss otherwise your soundcard is blocked and therefore flash does not play any audio | 17:15 |
| holstein | also, trying a different browser... feel free and suggest anything you'd like though | 17:16 |
| leszek | holstein: I highly doubt it has to do with the used browser or flashplayer | 17:16 |
| holstein | sure.. and i bet you are right.. flash *is* problematic in linux though | 17:18 |
| sb1980 | the problem occurs in firefox as well as chrome. | 17:30 |
| sb1980 | leszek: audio_output { type: "alsa": } | 17:30 |
| sb1980 | could this be overwritten somewhere? | 17:30 |
| sb1980 | also (maybe related) as soon as i mute my alsa master once, i can't get the sound back | 17:31 |
| leszek | sb1980: but playback of audio works like say for example mplayer when you are playing a song in sonata ? | 17:51 |
| sb1980 | lesczek: as now its muted anyway i can' check, but i think other players might have been blocked too. | 17:52 |
| leszek | thats a strange problem then. Seems that dmix is broken I guess. What soundcard do you have ? | 17:52 |
| === Ex is now known as Exio4 | ||
| sb1980 | i've got a RealTek alc892 onboard. and i've got a nvidia gpu which is listed in my sound devices?! | 18:06 |
| sb1980 | b/c of hdmi i guess | 18:06 |
| sb1980 | wait, i'll reboot to verify the problem with another audio player instead of flash player | 18:07 |
| sb1980 | rhythmbox: no sound at all, nomatter whats happening in sonata | 18:15 |
| sb1980 | but now mpd tells me: output: Failed to open "My ALSA Device" [alsa]: Failed to open ALSA device "hw:0,0": Device or resource busy | 18:17 |
| sb1980 | it looks like the sound is being distributed on my different output options . now rhythmbox was playing on "left" | 18:20 |
