| recon_lap | Arizona: you could just add the line and give it a try, probably work, but might not | 00:34 |
| Arizona | I did add the line | 00:34 |
| Arizona | :( | 00:34 |
| Arizona | It didnt work | 00:35 |
| recon_lap | Arizona: you could ask on the ubuntu channel , there are a lot more people there and grub will be the same | 00:35 |

| ceria | oh hellop | 05:50 |

| ceria | was away for a second | 05:50 |
| ceria | when xfdesktop is placed in the mode where it lists minimized programs | 05:51 |
| ceria | and i move a panel , | 05:51 |
| ceria | it forces xfdesktop to redraw or something, and sometimes it crashes completely | 05:51 |

| ceria | my video card driver is the current-updates | 06:06 |

| xuser1 | im back | 15:05 |
| recon_lap | I have no idea | 15:05 |
| xuser1 | is any diference between xubuntu iso image and torrent? | 15:07 |
| recon_lap | maybe torrent has check bits and stuff that makes it larger, and the torrent files size includes these | 15:07 |
| recon_lap | xuser1: short answer is no, I assume that the sizes listed are actual bits downloaded and the .iso files are exactly the same | 15:08 |
| holstein | xuser1: there shoudnt be... maybe they are labeled wrong, or just not correct.. i typically just get the iso's from the main site | 15:09 |
| xuser1 | ok | 15:09 |
| xuser1 | i will download the iso image from site | 15:09 |
| recon_lap | xuser1: and the md5sums are there so you can make sure you're getting the correct iso file with no modifications | 15:10 |

| apm1 | ^to apply the changes , or will only editing take care of it ? | 18:00 |
| uzver | apm1, after editing - no | 18:00 |
| apm1 | uzver, are these steps correct ? | 18:01 |
| apm1 | 1) write commands to be executed in script.sh | 18:01 |
| apm1 | 2) chmod +x script.sh | 18:01 |
| apm1 | 3)edit script.sh in a text editor and add more commands | 18:02 |
| apm1 | 4) run chmod +x script.sh again | 18:02 |
| apm1 | i did these steps , did i screw up ? | 18:02 |
| uzver | double chmod +x not needed | 18:02 |
| uzver | but never mind | 18:03 |

| joeeeee | i got the new version of xubuntu but now sound in speakers it's work fine with headphone | 19:50 |
| holstein | joeeeee: i would install pavucontrol and check there.. i would run "alsamixer" in the terminal and trust no labels.. and tweak everything there | 19:50 |
| holstein | !sound | 19:51 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 19:51 |
| joeeeee | sound works fine with headphone port | 19:51 |
| joeeeee | the issue is speakers port | 19:52 |
| Wizard | Have you checked what holstein gave you? :) | 19:53 |
| holstein | joeeeee: i have found that on a few machine, i found a fader in "alsamixer" that controlled the speakers independent of the headphones.. i have also seen these separated on pavucontrol | 19:53 |
| holstein | joeeeee: if you feel it is a hardware support issue, you might consider trying a different kernel or alsa version.. personally, i would just run the 12.04 LTS version | 19:54 |
| joeeeee | it was work fine on 10.4 | 19:54 |
| joeeeee | 12.4* | 19:55 |
| holstein | joeeeee: correct.. so we can assume a kernel upgrade or alsa upgrade is breaking functionality, or there is something in the settings somewhere that you havent found yet | 19:55 |
| holstein | i typically open the terminal and type "alsamixer" and tweak everything there... i also would have no issues runing 12.04 instead of 12.10 | 19:56 |
| joeeeee | i cheek d alsamixer | 19:57 |
| holstein | joeeeee: and pavucontrol? | 19:57 |
| joeeeee | yes | 19:57 |
| recon_lap | I had interesting behavior with sound on a laptop, if i boot with headphone in the speakers would not work, but if i booted without earphones they worked, but would not shut off when I plugged in earphones | 19:57 |
| holstein | joeeeee: ok.. sounds like you have a hardware support issue with alsa or the kernel... i would look for a bug report and consider a workaround temporarily or go back to 12.04 | 19:58 |
| joeeeee | ok thnx | 19:58 |
| holstein | i would run "aplay -l" in the terminal and use that output to search for a bug | 19:59 |
