[00:26] I kind of need the info as Im about to start the install over Ubuntu server [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/ [00:26] as ubuntu server does not pay friendly with xorg [00:26] 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] make sure to turn auto login during the install process [00:35] so i killed pulseaudio the other day, to fix an issue i was having with videos fastforwarding when i watch them, i had mangler up and once i killed it, i was suddenly transmiting really loud static, restarted but to no avail, i have no clue what to do [00:36] anyone know what to do? [00:36] Audio playback works flawlessly [00:36] but when i try to use the mic in any program [00:37] im getting some serious static [00:37] anyone :(? [00:41] hello? [00:41] oxygen_, have you tried changing the outputs in pavucontrol? [00:42] no i haven't [00:42] i've only tried to change settings within mangler [00:42] but it seems to not be a problem specific to mangler anymore [00:42] i don't know what mangler is [00:42] linux ventrillo client [00:42] ncould you tell me how to do that pavucontrol thing? [00:43] right. anyway, check the channels and output in pavucontrol [00:43] is there any file in particular i should use for storing xinput settings to autoload them on relogging? [00:43] if you don't have it installed; sudo apt-ge tinstall pavucontrol [00:43] then alt+f2 and pavucontrol [00:44] yea... [00:44] i've done this [00:44] i only have on input device [00:44] that's where the trouble lies [00:46] did you used to have several? [00:46] no [00:46] it's just this laptop [00:46] with builtin analog audio [00:46] i'd check the outputs too [00:46] the mic is just [00:47] well theres only one output [00:47] analog stereo [00:47] ok... [00:47] i mean the mic is just [00:47] got it's levels maxed [00:47] its sounds like have a fan right up next to it [00:47] which i dont [00:48] im on a couch in a quiet room [00:48] all this started when i killed pulseaudio [00:48] in top [00:49] i just killed it again [00:49] i'm out of ideas... [00:49] watched the damn thing refresh [00:49] mic is still blasting [00:49] anyone else here? [00:50] oxygen_, remember to have patience and that we're all volunteers - and good luck [00:50] yea..

Following http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/SystemWide the groups it lists are already present. it also says to make a home for pulse user. is there any issue with this and if so how can i revert the changes on failure [03:00] |Anthony|: wonder if you could get by with testing on a live CD... [03:00] <|Anthony|> it wouldn't be a proper test in my use case tbh [03:00] <|Anthony|> i'm working on multiseat if you remember [03:01] <|Anthony|> which would of course require some xorg and lightdm configs that wouldn't persist after a reboot [03:01] <|Anthony|> nor could they go into effect without one [03:01] <|Anthony|> catch 22 hehe [03:01] <|Anthony|> and a vm wouldn't suffice either i think [03:02] hmmmm... you could ask in #opensourcemusicians in case anyone there has done anything like that.. most folk there do alsa only though [03:03] looks like that would be challenging to "undo" at a quick glance [03:03] <|Anthony|> so many chans out there... hard to keep track [03:03] <|Anthony|> adduser --system --ingroup pulse --home /var/run/pulse pulse [03:03] <|Anthony|> that is my only concern really [03:05] <|Anthony|> really, the whole project is above my pay grade, but i'm looking to promote myself [03:06] <|Anthony|> this is a summary of my efforts with pulse: http://pastebin.com/AsAjQTcy [03:07] i wouldnt be scrared of alsa only if it helps.. though pulse should be capable [03:08] <|Anthony|> i'm gonna give it a go [03:08] <|Anthony|> what's the worst that could happen [03:08] <|Anthony|> hehe [03:08] :) [03:09] <|Anthony|> so close [03:09] <|Anthony|> the audio is the only thing in the way [03:09] <|Anthony|> both seats work fine. hotplugging works as expected [03:10] <|Anthony|> system is stable [03:10] I generally run off to the archwiki for their alsa and pulseaudio section, been quite handy. [03:10] <|Anthony|> arch and gentoo have great wikis [03:11] <|Anthony|> but *buntu has better packages [03:11] <|Anthony|> and apt (imo) is far better than other package systems [03:12] Hello [03:12] anyone can help me?? [03:12] <|Anthony|> ask and ye shall receive [03:13] |Anthony|: Heh, was just saying you can use their wiki with Ubuntu, just a little translate from arch to Ubuntu style. [03:13] I have problems with some files I have on my removable disk [03:14] anyone can help me? [03:14] <|Anthony|> i knew what you meant Unit193 [03:14] <|Anthony|> xubuntu340, state your question/problem [03:14] I have problems with some files I have on my removable disk [03:15] <|Anthony|> just rm -R / [03:15] <|Anthony|> and all your problems will go away [03:15] <|Anthony|> kidding don't do that [03:15] I can not change folder permissions anthony [03:16] <|Anthony|> there is a problem [03:16] ? [03:18] you understand ? [03:18] <|Anthony|> yes [03:18] !chown [03:18] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [03:19] I need to change the permissions of my folders [03:19] ah oks [03:19] tnks [03:19] <|Anthony|> files folders [03:19] <|Anthony|> it's all a file [03:20] xubuntu340: you should be able to right click and see what the options are. you can also run a file manager as root, though its not advised to do without care [03:21] all my files contained removable disk with the name of ROOT [03:21] xubuntu340: you'll be able to chown what you need [03:22] <|Anthony|> chown is the way to go [03:22] the root filemanager i mentioned will have access to those files as well, though chown is the way to go [03:22] <|Anthony|> using the dialog boxes from gksudo nautilus usually fails for subfolders and files [03:23] <|Anthony|> in my experience [03:24] ok [03:24] tnks [03:25] I test now [03:25] Can I remove thunar and install Nautilus?

[03:31] I do not understand holstein [03:31] xubuntu340: im asking, if you typo-d the commands? [03:31] xubuntu340: its sudo, not somu [03:32] sudo [03:33] if, as root (sudo) you change the permissions of a directory, then you will give permissions to whatever user you specified [03:33] you likely need to read the part about applying the settings to the files under that directory [03:34] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770375 [03:35] xubuntu340: note *recipe for disaster* there [03:36] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/red-hat-31/chown-chgrp-an-entire-directoy-and-contents-347763/ [03:36] oks [03:36] xubuntu340: the -R flag is what you want [03:36] I'm looking [03:37] Wait a second please [03:38] sure... you'll need to elaborate anyways... i still dont know if thats the issue [05:42] hello! I'm having trouble with the xfce4-power-manager [05:43] it just doesn't start up with XFCE, I don't see a battery icon in the menu bar, and when i close my laptop lid it doesn't suspend like it should [05:47] its just one of those days [05:47] has anyone had luck installing a lexmark pro700 series printer [05:47] i managed to a while ago [05:48] but i can't get it to work after this re install [05:49] protip, every time i get something to work or try to get something to work I write notes [05:50] yea [05:50] regretting that right now [05:50] i remember it being really simple [05:50] but i cant really figure it our [05:50] out [05:50] it'sa network printer [05:51] and the drivers lexmark gives [05:51] are all .deb [05:51] and all the "fixes" are for .tar.gz files [05:52] If you get it to work, make how-to an publish it online, blog for example [05:57] hmm [05:57] so sudo dpkg -i [05:57] installs deb files [05:57] but i get errors.. [05:57] wtf is going on [05:59] hard to tell from here [05:59] ;-) [06:02] whayts the default root password? [06:03] nm [06:03] sudo that shit [08:44] what a great S.O. [09:09] say, have any of you folks out there a good solution for setting proxies based on e.g. ESSID? [09:09] (and i'm not talking about scipting nm-applet's dispatcher) === Anona is now known as Strinteger [12:21] Hi everyone, I got the following problem: I am using Ubuntu 12.10 (don't redirect me to #ubuntu+1 please since this problem existed in 12.04 as well) with XFCE - and whenever I type ALT+F2 it takes ages (10-30 s) to load the application launcher - even starting a terminal is faster (and in fact, I often do that) [12:23] Gamoder_: dont think xubuntu even has a application launcher [12:24] it has. Type ALT+F2 [12:24] well [12:24] press the keys [12:24] and then wait a bit [12:26] Gamoder_: but the problem is probably in unity. but I have no ideas so i'll shut up [12:27] It pops up instantly with me [12:27] well - I do not use unity [12:27] I just use XFCE [12:28] well - strangely unity-files-daemon and unity-music-daemon is startet [12:30] Gamoder_: how did you setup xface? a clean install? [12:30] Gamoder_: how did you setup you computers, a clean install of xubuntu? [12:32] recon_tv: no, an install of ubuntu, then I installed xubuntu-desktop [12:32] Gamoder_: I would think thats the cause then [12:34] yeah, but it shouldn't make the application launcher start that slowly [12:34] I am able to afford some MB of Ram for a not-that-clean-install [12:35] Gamoder_: why would more ram help? anyway, why stick with a fraken install? [12:40] recon_tv: oh - no, I mean: I got enough Ram for some senseless daemons; and - maybe because I want both unity and xfce? [12:41] unity looks good so it is nice if some other person comes and I use it for "showing" that linux can be beautiful. On the other hand, I like xfce more for doing real work [12:42] Gamoder_: well maybe some else here might know the details, afraid I don't :( [14:32] hi there [14:33] anyone using intel graphics, screen resolution 1366x768 [14:33] i am having screen resolution problems [15:25] intresting, attempt to remove plymouth causes practically entire system to be wiped [15:37] hi, anyone with screen resolution problems with intel vga card [15:39] https://launchpad.net/bugs/989658 [15:39] Launchpad bug 989658 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "Resolution not detected correctly on Intel Mobile 4 series" [Undecided,Confirmed] [15:44] The usual tactic seems to be using either nomodeset or vga as a boot option, or setting some obscure option like noapic/nolapic/acpi= [16:21] Does anyone have a nice wiki page or tool I can use to edit the xfce menu, I wish to add a program entry.
