[06:14] <joe__994> hey guys
[06:16] <joe__994> can someone help me with my monitor settings?
[06:19] <Unit193> !details | joe__994
[07:14] <joe__994> so i have a problem with my monitor settings. i'm running ubuntu 12.04 lts. my monitor is not detected. it has been detected on debian and mint distros
[07:15] <joe__994> so when i try to change the refresh rate from 60 to 70, it wont let me
[07:15] <mysteriousdarren> joe_994: what kind of graphics card do you have? integrated?
[07:16] <joe__994> nvidia nv17
[07:17] <mysteriousdarren> did you update the driver?
[07:17] <joe__994> NVIDIA Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440] (rev a3) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
[07:18] <joe__994> shouldn't the os do it automaticaly?
[07:19] <mysteriousdarren> nope, it will have some basic drivers, but your gonna have to change from there.
[07:19] <joe__994> oh i see, ok mate, thank you, i'll try to google it, if no luck i'll come back to you :)
[07:20] <Unit193> "Additional Drivers" from the menu, but I have had to generate an xorg.conf before, bad chip for me.
[07:20] <mysteriousdarren> http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-304.43-driver.html
[07:20] <joe__994> wow thanks mysterious, you rock! i'm gonna check it
[07:21] <mysteriousdarren> yup happy to help
[10:21] <n150p> Hi everyone, can you tell me how to disable the guest account login? I'm using Lubuntu 12.04 "out of the box"
[10:23] <bioterror> n150p, edit lightdm.conf
[10:23] <bioterror> and disable it
[10:25] <n150p> i see no option to disable. it's only 4 lines:
[10:25] <n150p> [SeatDefaults]
[10:25] <n150p> greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
[10:25] <n150p> user-session=Lubuntu
[10:25] <n150p> xft-dpi=144
[10:26] <bioterror> allow-guest=false
[10:26] <n150p> but I think now that you told me that I'm using lightdm (which I did not know) ... i could probably google it
[10:26] <n150p> oh, thanks
[10:26] <n150p> i'll try that
[10:27] <n150p> brb
[10:33] <n150p> bioterror, thanks. works perfectly.
[10:34] <bioterror> np
[10:38] <bioterror> hi mariob
[11:27] <faLUCE> hi. is it possible to install (x/k/l)ubuntu on zelig pad 700 ?
[12:22] <faLUCE>  hi. Is it possible to install (k/l/x)ubuntu on a zelig pad 700 ?
[12:23] <smartboyhw> faLUCE: Is that an ARM device?
[12:24] <faLUCE>  smartboyhw arm cortex 1 ghz
[12:25] <smartboyhw> OK, I think Lubuntu just introduced an ARM image
[12:25] <smartboyhw> However it is unstable since it is 12.10 I think
[12:26] <smartboyhw> May be
[12:26] <smartboyhw> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-preinstalled/20120905/quantal-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+ac100.tar.gz
[12:26] <smartboyhw> Download it
[12:26] <faLUCE> smartboyhw: which version is it?
[12:26] <smartboyhw> And then https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OmapNetbook
[12:26] <smartboyhw> faLUCE, 12.10
[12:26] <smartboyhw> Beta 1
[12:27] <faLUCE> smartboyhw: but what about the touchscreen?
[12:29] <smartboyhw> Touchscreen oh
[12:29] <smartboyhw> Then I don't know:)
[12:30] <faLUCE> anyway, thanks for the other tips
[15:52] <lucaaa> ho appena installato lubuntu, al riavvio tutto funziona però ho provato a fare gli aggiornamenti senza riuscirci e al riavvio non funziona più nè il mouse ne la rete wifi
[15:52] <lucaaa> qualcuno può aiutarmi?? :D
[15:53] <kanliot>

[18:00] <joe__462> hey guys
[18:02] <joe__462> after running 'apt-get install nvidia-current', i got my desktop resolution absulutly currepted
[18:03] <joe__462> so i've uninstalled it but i can't get the original lubuntu driver setup going
[18:04] <joe__462> can anyone help me on how to restore my original ubuntu 12.04 video and sound driver settings?
[18:05] <joe__462> oh yeah, for some reason after running the nvidia update, i lost the sound ablilities as weel
[18:06] <silverarrow> sound driver should be easy
[18:07] <silverarrow> I think you can  switch drivers in alsamixedr
[18:07] <silverarrow> alsamixer
[18:08] <silverarrow> joe__462, resolution is usually about config though?
[18:08] <joe__462> yeah, i've played around with alsamixer before to get the sound going but the thing i don't understand is why nvidia update messed up the sound..
[18:08] <silverarrow> not sure either, cause it should not
[18:10] <silverarrow> however the regular procedure for sound is: right click loudspeaker icon on the task bar
[18:10] <joe__462> yeah but it's all gray, i can't use the bars
[18:10] <silverarrow> it should be unmuted
[18:11] <silverarrow> oh
[18:11] <silverarrow> weird
[18:11] <silverarrow> is it a fresh install?
[18:11] <silverarrow> does alsamixer launch in terminal?
[18:12] <joe__462> yeah
[18:12] <silverarrow> and all parameters are on, or high levels ?
[18:12] <joe__462> no it's a gui one thing, donno i've installed all sorts of alsa stuff before to get it going ;)
[18:13] <silverarrow> I have had alsamixer settings suddenly go off for weird reasons though
[18:14] <silverarrow> like update, or package install
[18:14] <joe__462> yeah, i know... but to be honest, i'm more bothered with the display settings at the moment
[18:14] <silverarrow> I`m just suggesting a double check
[18:14] <joe__462> thanks silver
[18:14] <silverarrow> and you have tried monitor settings?
[18:15] <joe__462> monitor settings first does not detect my monitor, and second the max resulution i get is 640x480 60 refresh rate
[18:16] <joe__462> and i'm using 19 inch monitor how bad could it get ;)
[18:16] <silverarrow> unusually low, unless it is a very old computer
[18:16] <silverarrow> you need one of the clever guys
[18:17] <joe__462> it is quite old, but everything seems to work fine before i ran 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current'
[18:17] <joe__462> hehe silver, that's a good one ;)
[18:17] <silverarrow> someone on the Ubuntu channel should be able to help, at least of there is low activity here
[18:17] <silverarrow> hmm, let me check
[18:18] <joe__462> thanks mate, that's very nice of you
[18:19] <silverarrow> what are the graphics packages called?
[18:20] <silverarrow> ASCII ?
[18:20] <joe__462> well my wife and i need to get ready and go to the movies :)
[18:21] <joe__462> we gonna watch 'possession'
[18:21] <joe__462> so i'll be back later
[18:21] <silverarrow> xorg core
[18:21] <joe__462> thank for all the help silver and i'll see you later
[18:21] <silverarrow> not much help though
[18:22] <silverarrow> joe__462, if you post on the ubuntu forum, there is usually every quick replies
[18:22] <silverarrow> withing three minutes
[18:49] <IboS> hello
[18:49] <IboS> here a fact
[18:50] <IboS> i'm connecting with ssh on a lubuntu desktop machine
[18:50] <IboS> this machine is on login screen
[18:50] <IboS> when i want via ssh launch the cmd alsamixer i can't
[18:51] <IboS> is there a way to launch alsa at boot before login ?
[18:51] <IboS> and have sound by the way
[18:58] <silverarrow> not shure
[18:58] <silverarrow> can`t you just launch alsa in terminal like usual ?
[19:01] <IboS> silverarrow: how to do that?
[19:01] <IboS> sudo service alsa start ?
[19:01] <silverarrow> just open terminal and write alsamixer
[19:01] <silverarrow> menu-accessories-LXterminal
[19:02] <silverarrow> it launches alsamixer and it can easily be adjusted
[19:02] <silverarrow> you don`t need sudo or any commands
[19:03] <silverarrow> you maneuver it with arrows sideways and up-down
[19:03] <silverarrow> and F-keys
[19:03] <IboS> well i'm on ssh
[19:03] <IboS> i sshed to the machine
[19:03] <silverarrow> oh,
[19:03] <IboS> the actual state of the machine : login screen
[19:04] <bioterror> alsamixer can be run from ssh session
[19:04] <bioterror> should not be a problem
[19:04] <bioterror> as I have done it too many times on different computers
[19:04] <silverarrow> as long as you get the terminal windows
[19:05] <IboS> well it says can't open no such file or directory i can solve the problem by manually login on the machine but i want it different :)
[19:05] <IboS> on previous version of lubuntu it worked pretty fine
[19:08] <IboS> well
[19:09] <IboS> i learnt that at login a sound device is created
[19:09] <IboS> how to create it before then ?
[19:11] <bioterror> what?
[19:11] <bioterror> alsa is loaded on boot
[19:14] <wxl> i just did grep alsa on every log i have and everything i get is terminations not startups
[19:14] <wxl> it would make sense though that alsa would be started on a per-user basis, i.e. at login, rather that on boot
[19:15] <wxl> honetly this might be a question better answered by #alsa
[19:43] <gomiboy> it's pulseaudio that has a per user daemon, not alsa, just saying...
[21:14] <TheLordOfTime> is Lubuntu better for a low-RAM, low-power HP Mini 110 netbook that is at least 3 years old?
[21:14] <TheLordOfTime> better than Ubuntu or Xubuntu
[21:14] <TheLordOfTime> (Kubuntu's not an option :P)
[21:15] <Unit193> Kubuntu is actually more of an option than Ubuntu is, as far as ram usage and CPU.
[21:15] <Unit193> And depends on the specs.
[21:15] <TheLordOfTime> Unit193:  well, i'm kinda in "Panic" mode atm...
[21:16] <TheLordOfTime> given the fact the main linux fubar'd itself on that system
[21:16] <TheLordOfTime> give me a minute
[21:16] <Unit193> Soo.... Install it and findout then?
[21:16] <TheLordOfTime> *digs around for his specs on that machine*
[21:16] <TheLordOfTime> Unit193:  Bandwidth limits
[21:16] <TheLordOfTime> can't go downloading each version and testing
[21:16] <TheLordOfTime> (Kubuntu's not an option, the netbook can't handle the graphics)
[21:17] <TheLordOfTime> (tried back in Natty)
[21:17] <Unit193> And it can with Unity?  Lubuntu is ligher than Xubuntu, so ther is that.
[21:17] <TheLordOfTime> Unity runs, a tad sluggishly though
[21:17] <TheLordOfTime> i put Ubuntu 11.04 on here because that's the LiveUSB I had around at the time
[21:17] <TheLordOfTime> but now its purge-and-install-new time, so...
[21:18] <TheLordOfTime> but yeah, lemme dig up the specs
[21:18] <TheLordOfTime> they're stored on at least *one* of my fileservers here... :p
[21:20] <Unit193> Right, well it's a tad sluggish on 500MHz, but using 227M of 512 (stuff open)
[21:23] <TheLordOfTime> its got 2008MB RAM, an Intel Atom N270 processor, an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (using shared memory, up to 128MB), and has a 160GB hard drive.
[21:23] <TheLordOfTime> i upgraded the ram from 1GB, apparently it takes some RAM to the graphics)
[21:27] <TheLordOfTime> i'll try Lubuntu, i'm quite tired of Unity :P
[21:27] <TheLordOfTime> of course, i could always to a netinst :P
[21:27] <TheLordOfTime> but that takes longerish
[22:35] <W4sp> eeeeeee
[22:37] <TheLordOfTime> Unit193:  loadtime is SOO MUCH FASTER with Lubuntu on this machine
[22:37] <TheLordOfTime> :P
[22:37] <W4sp> Sorry, that wasn't intended as you may have guessed already.
[22:37] <TheLordOfTime> :P
[22:37] <TheLordOfTime> W4sp:  stuff happens :P
[22:37] <Unit193> W4sp: I had to resist saying "I'm not cleaning that up."
[22:38] <Unit193> TheLordOfTime: As it should be.
[22:38] <W4sp> I didn't fell asleep though.
[22:38] <TheLordOfTime> Unit193:  lol @ resisting.  and it is indeed much faster on this netbook
[22:38] <TheLordOfTime> MUCH MORE RAM IS FREE
[22:38] <TheLordOfTime> whoops caps
[22:39] <TheLordOfTime> Unit193:  guess what else i found when i was looking at the system in the Live environment.  I found the blasphemous Windows XP on the system.
