[00:24] WHY IS #xubuntu always dead -_-" [00:25] iToast: not having been there in about 50,000 hears, no idea XD [00:25] lol [00:25] uh s/hears/years/ [00:25] Look what I just got [00:25] !patience | iToast [00:25] iToast: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:26] iToast, and? it doesn't warrant being impatient [00:26] again, i can't offer you help with other people, though perhaps i could refer you to your local buddhist temple or something. :) [00:26] !patience | iToast [00:26] iToast: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:27] I'm downloading lubuntu. [00:27] you go girl [00:27] but [00:27] not for the xbmc right? [00:27] im a guy [00:27] >:o [00:27] wxl, for xbmc [00:27] i didn't mean to imply that you weren't but trying to use a colloquialism [00:27] nevermind [00:27] anywho [00:27] oh, someone already did that :P [00:27] iToast: should be pretty simple, add xbmc to startup applications and turn on auto login [00:27] i'm still not convinced xbmc NEEDS x [00:27] it does [00:27] ok, i believe you [00:28] "could not connect to x serv"... [00:28] then i would suggest doing the mini install [00:28] I had xorg installed with lightdm [00:28] just install lubuntu-core [00:28] you won't get all the extra apps and crap [00:28] I have to wait for lubuntu to download [00:28] so for now im trying xubuntu [00:31] Hopefully I wont have to jump to lubuntu (no offence) [00:31] because I really dont want to sue all my dvds... [00:31] This machine claims to have USB booting but I doubt it... [00:31] you need dvdrws [00:31] no. [00:31] I gave RW's a try, they are the devils child. [00:31] :) [00:31] I burned some dvds with DO NOT FINALIZE ON! [00:31] WHat happened? [00:31] Didnt say it but [00:32] "Finalizing" [00:32] Go to erase, "Can not erase finalized disk". [00:32] That developer oves me $5. [00:32] >:C [00:32] My comment about how it scerwed me out of a rw disk got removed from the blog [00:32] His software got replaced with infrarecorder. [00:41] wxl, xbmc can be run as "wm" [00:41] so it does need X11, but it doesnt need a WM [05:06] evening [05:07] curious if anyone has seen issue with quantal after updating last night. i'm now getting a black screen after the splash screen. kernel 3.5.0-15 [05:08] i can boot to console, but not sure what to do next [05:08] i ran fsck and all the drives appear fine. [05:12] foolinsd, from console: sudo service lightdm start [05:22] okay let me try [05:28] bioterror, i just get a flashing _ at the upper left corner of the screen [05:30] i'm going to try running apt-get update/upgrade via console [05:31] pls post any suggestions, i'll try them after the the update. be back in 15m [05:40] bioterror, btw after starting lightdm, i can switch back to vt1 via ctrl+alt+F1 [05:48] that's good [05:49] what if you instead of starting lxdm [05:49] you say [05:49] wait a sec [05:50] xinit /usr/bin/startlubuntu [05:50] if I remember right [05:50] which startlubuntu [05:50] if it wasnt correct [05:51] I was away becouse I took my daughter to a day care club or something [05:51] as a true hipster, I locked her bike to light pole with u-luck as she had lost her key during our move to new flat [05:54] okay will give that atry [06:08] sign looks like updating hosed the dpkg datebase [06:08] i'm booting to a "callback trace" [06:08] looks like a dump [06:08] will try reinstalling quantal [06:08] thanks for your suggestions bioterror [06:14] reinstalling is cheating with the developement releases! [06:19] smack head [06:19] i'm open to suggestions [06:26] bioterror, i tried xinit /usr/bin/startlubuntu [06:26] it gave a fatal server error [06:26] no screen found [08:44] I'm trying to modify things so that when I click on an audio/video file, the console version of mplayer will be invoked to open the file instead of the gnome-mplayer. [08:44] The problem is that when an audio/video file contains spaces or non-english characters, the console mplayer just closes and does nothing. [08:44] More details at http://pastebin.com/TQxanMUC [08:47] I don't know if this problem also applies to ubuntu? [08:51] hmmm [08:51] when press mouse button #2 on a video file [08:51] and you choose properties [08:52] you should be able to change gnome-mplayer to just plain mplayer [08:53] http://ricecows.org/mplayer.desktop that's how my mplayer.desktop looks like [09:01] is there a way for the F12 button to work as it should? it should eject cd on this laptop [09:01] are you talking to your self bioterror ? [09:02] silverarrow, you can bind it to eject if youw ant [09:02] bind F12 with "eject" command [09:02] great, [09:02] I just need to figure out how [09:02] bioterror: i changed my mplayer parameter from %U to %F and it works. Thanks [09:03] bzb, you're welcome [09:03] I have this odd issue with brassero, it will not eject cd after iso burn [09:03] another satisfied customer! [09:04] it`s nice when things work [09:04] ;-) [09:04] silverarrow, I've mostly used "xfburn" [09:04] diskutility or reboot is the only thing that allows to eject cd [09:04] xfburn crashes instantly here [09:05] luckily brassero behaves [09:36] at the moment F12 does the same as a double finger click [09:36] it should eject cd [13:51] hi [13:54] howdy [13:58] hi [13:59] do you know how to set up F12 function on an iBook ? [13:59] it should eject cd/dvd [13:59] and the command eject does not work? [14:00] I haven`t tired it from terminal [14:00] * silverarrow launches terminal [14:00] * bioterror rolls eyes [14:00] sorry lol [14:01] it ejects [14:01] Fri12:02 silverarrow, you can bind it to eject if youw ant [14:01] Fri12:02 bind F12 with "eject" command [14:01] I said that 5 hours ago [14:01] exactly 5 hours [14:01] I use eject from disk utility, but a bit cumbersome [14:02] ? :D [14:03] hmmm [14:03] yeah, after burning iso in brasero regualar eject from file manager doesn`t work [14:03] it ejects [14:03] but I never thought of using the command in terminal [14:04] no, there is an eject function in brasero, but it sort of locks up [14:04] probably [14:04] but now my Openbox ejects from F12 [14:05] and cd does not show in filemanager either then [14:05] I could bind alt+f12 to close the tray [14:05] cool [14:05] on the ibook keyboard that is the reguala cd eject function [14:06] in OS X [14:06] true [14:06] and keyboard icon [14:06] I've owned a mac [14:06] it is nice to set it up to work, [14:07] yeah, macbook pros still are like that [14:08] cd/dvd insert is only a slim slot, and not a case to open [14:08] even on the old ppc [14:09] my super drive was a regular DVD-RW ;) [14:10] rw functions are dvd rom specific or software run? [15:31] hi [15:32] hi [15:32] Howto use bluetooth headset ? [15:34] hmm, you might have to activate buletooth [15:34] let me check [15:35] I think it should be there by default [15:36] ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) BT-503 headset [15:36] it doesn`t detect at all? [15:36] device paired [15:36] a usb unit ? [15:37] audiosinc is enabled. i hear ssound beep [15:37] I think the manager is called blueman [15:37] but can't moved sound to headset [15:38] I don`t have bluetooth on my lubuntu laptop unfortunately [15:39] stick around I`m sure someone can help [15:39] http://postimage.org/image/gzexlbzb5/ [15:39] you could also try ubuntu channel if activity is slow here [15:40] yes there it is [15:40] in ubuntu it must work with pulseaudio. ilubuntu does not pulse [15:40] I actually have a buletooth device some where [15:41] settings in alsamixer should not affect bluetooth ? [15:41] but it is contact with headset which is main issue [15:43] found my bluetooth device [15:43] light blinking [15:44] nothing happens [15:46] blueman does not launch from terminal either [15:46] JohnDoe_71Rus, did you install blueman manually? [15:46] lubuntu12.04 i start from menu [15:46] it should be there by default I think [15:47] I`m on 12.04 too [15:47] maybe some ppc weirdness [15:47] I`m on an old iBook [15:50] sorry, I`m no help to you [15:50] may be some one [20:27] is there a way for me to check which graphics drivers I have in 12.04?
