[04:16] <origamifreak> hello
[04:17] <origamifreak> anyone here?
[04:36] <origamifreak> hello?
[04:41] <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.
[04:46] <origamifreak> ok, just seeing if anyone was there to answer
[04:50] <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.
[04:51] <origamifreak> I tried using the terminal and xrandr, but no luck
[04:52] <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.
[04:53] <origamifreak> I tried adding a couple different configurations using the terminal and xrandr but the screen just turned black when I applied the changes
[04:54] <origamifreak> I haven't tried arandr, Does it allow you to add different resolutions other than the default?
[04:55] <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.
[04:58] <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.
[05:00] <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
[05:08] <Unit193> You could try and see what may differ.
[05:14] <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.
[05:16] <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
[05:25] <holstein> the aspect ratio problem?
[05:26] <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
[05:44] <Unit193> I hear puppy gives good xorgs too, you seen it?
[05:50] <holstein> Unit193: your right... that would be better
[05:50] <holstein> you have that nice config at the startup
[05:51] <holstein> origamifreak: ^^
[06:15] <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
[06:17] <origamifreak> although I still might try and get an xorg.conf file or make my own

[08:37] <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
[08:40] <jarnos> Oh, later it worked by pcmanfm. BTW, I could not umount the stick by Windows XP earlier today.
[09:23] <bkm> hello, how can i alter the autocompleted items in `lxpanelctl run` or add a command to `lxpanel menu` ?

[15:25] <BMS1> Hello wizards, does lubuntu not load the .config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml file by default?
[15:32] <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.
[17:09] <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?
[17:10] <holstein> these days, i usually try the chrome browser (not chromium) since its got its own flash in there
[17:15] <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
[17:16] <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
[17:18] <holstein> sure.. and i bet you are right.. flash *is* problematic in linux though
[17:30] <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?
[17:31] <sb1980> also (maybe related) as soon as i mute my alsa master once, i can't get the sound back
[17:51] <leszek> sb1980: but playback of audio works like say for example mplayer when you are playing a song in sonata ?
[17:52] <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 ?
=== Ex is now known as Exio4
[18:06] <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
[18:07] <sb1980> wait, i'll reboot to verify the problem with another audio player instead of flash player
[18:15] <sb1980> rhythmbox: no sound at all, nomatter whats happening in sonata
[18:17] <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
[18:20] <sb1980> it looks like the sound is being distributed on my different output options . now rhythmbox was playing on "left"
