[03:16] <itai_michaelson> hi, i can connect to my vpn with the terminal ,but when i try to use xubuntu's built in GUI (network manager) it gives up after 30 seconds (cannot establish connection) , is there a way i can change network manager's settings to wait longer ?
[03:28] <holstein> itai_michaelson: is that the issue? it needs to wait longer?
[03:34] <itai_michaelson> holstein, yes, the terminal waits for about 2 minutes , the gui gives up after 30 sec
[03:34] <holstein> i would probably just connect with the terminal.. thats not do-able?
[03:34] <itai_michaelson> not for my wife,,,,
[03:35] <itai_michaelson> if there's another GUI i can use , which allows tweaking its settings..
[03:36] <holstein> itai_michaelson: i would probably launch the GUI from the command line.. see if i could learn how to change it
[03:36] <holstein> i might just make a shortcut for the wife that runs the command that is working in the terminal
[03:37] <itai_michaelson> i can do that ,
[03:37] <itai_michaelson> but does that mean that i can't change the settings for 'network monitor ' (or whatever they call it)?
[03:38] <holstein> itai_michaelson: its all open, so in theory, you can do anything
[03:39] <genii-around> If it connects every time to the vpn, might want to just do a post-up directive in the interfaces
[03:40] <itai_michaelson> genii-around, you see , i'm in china and i have a list of servers, china usually blocks some of them , so i need an easy tool to switch between servers, the GUI is ideal ,except that it gives up too early, i wonder if anyone can point me to some config files or something where i can change these parameters
[03:45] <itai_michaelson> just a quick question - the network monitor in xubuntu is the same as ubuntu?
[04:43] <chromeprob> i installed the latest chrome  Version 23.0.1271.64 on 12.04 and the macromedia flash does not appear in plugins! what gives?
[04:52] <genii-around> http://askubuntu.com/questions/129534/flash-player-not-present-in-chrome
[04:56] <genii-around> chromeprob: ^
[05:04] <chromeprob> it is not the solution for  a 32 bit system. moreover, 11.2 is the latest version for gnu/linux  from adobe. chrome comes with version 11.5  built-in which is what i need for livemocha

[05:18] <c2tarun> Hi friends, I am not able to set chromium as my default browser for Xubuntu, I tried from Settings and also from inside of chromium settings. But whenever I click any link anywhere it gets open in Firefox :( can anyone please help?
[05:54] <ruien> hello all, can someone point me to documentation on how xfce handles alsa and pulseaudio, or explain a bit? I'm pretty much lost: I've noticed that 'audacity' has a lot of input options for microphone and one of them works ("HD Audio Generic ALC887-VD Analog: Rear Mic:1"). There's also a "default: Rear Mic 1" that does not work, which makes me think that the default isn't set correctly. I've also noticed that "arecord -d 5 test.wav" doesn't do anything..
[06:26] <ruien> okay, for future reference, fixed by setting "PlaybackBuiltinAudioAnalogStereoPulseAudioMixer" for '/active-card' key in xfce Settings Editor. Anyone know where that name "PlaybackBuiltinAudioAnalogStereoPulseAudioMixer" would have been listed?
[06:51] <raytray> Under available sound cards afaik

[09:48] <marosh> Hi @ all. I have problems to activate the TV out without using the nvidia-current driver. Is anyone around who might help me there?
[09:55] <marosh> To be more precise, there is no TV-1 or similar in the xrandr output list
[09:58] <marosh> anyone?
[09:58] <well_laid_lawn> marosh: paste the xrandr output
[09:58] <well_laid_lawn> !paste
[10:00] <well_laid_lawn> you can check if nouveau supports tv out on your card here - http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix
[10:01] <marosh> well_laid_lawn: Thank you. Okay, in that listing TV out is marked as TODO
[10:02] <marosh> xrandr output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1381595/
[10:02] <well_laid_lawn> so it seems you'll need nvidia's driver then
[10:02] <marosh> …Unfortunately. Thanks for your help!
[10:02] <well_laid_lawn> cheers
[10:20] <xubuntu972> anyone here?
[10:36] <xubuntu016> hi all
[10:36] <xubuntu016> any russian where?
[10:38] <Unit193> !ru | xubuntu016
[10:38] <xubuntu016> У меня grub не ставится :(
[10:38] <xubuntu016> thanks)
[10:39] <Unit193> Sure.
[10:42] <Inoki> Hi lads. Is there a way to associate everything web related to Chrome instead of FF in Ubuntu Studio 12.10? When I e.g. use Kupfer to open a link to a website it always opens Firefox instead of Chrome.
[10:49] <Unit193> update-alternatives --config x-www-browser  and   update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser   and set it through that.
[10:49] <Unit193> Also check "Preferred Applications" in settings manager.
[10:57] <Inoki> Unit193: I've checked via galternatives and Chrome's priority is set to 200 and Firefox's 40 under both commands.
[10:58] <Inoki> Unit193: You think it'd be good to erase FF's config via Galternatives and re-add it if necessary?
[10:59] <Unit193> Does kupfer have a browser setting?
[11:02] <Inoki> Unit193: nope.
[11:03] <Inoki> Unit193: too bad there ain't an option in settings manager to bulk edit file options and how files are open. I see a lot of files still being attached to FF.
[11:06] <Unit193> Inoki: Did you happen to check the minetype editor?
[11:07] <Inoki> Unit193: nope. I'm trying to edit files in settings manager to be opened with Chrome instead of FF.
[11:17] <Inoki> Unit193: I've changed every file in the settings manager to be opened with Chrome instead of Firefox and still nothing.
[11:20] <Unit193> Then other than hacks, I do not know.
[17:09] <juan__> hi. a got a xubuntu 11.04. how can i change him to 11.10?  is it difficult?
[17:09] <baizon> juan__: run update-manager
[17:09] <baizon> and it should show you that an update is avaiable
[17:10] <baizon> *available
[17:11] <juan__> said that is no update to do
[17:12] <baizon> then update-manager -d
[17:12] <juan__> baizon, happens the same thing. but its okay
[17:46] <xubuntu859> looking for help please... installed xubuntu 12.10 earlier today and have messed up lost panels. any ideas how to restore to default please? many thanks.
[18:01] <TheSheep> xubuntu859: you can try renaming the directory .config/xfce4/panel/
[18:01] <TheSheep> xubuntu859: and reloging
[18:01] <xubuntu859> thx will try that
[19:15] <subman> Does xubuntu support opengl?
[19:16] <raytray> Should
[19:16] <subman> hmmmm
[19:17] <subman> Trying to get flightgear to work and cannot.  Also, the default screen savers run very, very, very slowly.  makes me think something is wrong
[19:18] <subman> Is there some kind of test?
[19:19] <subman> glxgears show 2.3 fps
[19:21] <AndreeeCZ> hi. Can someone help me install a soundMAX integrated sound card on xubuntu12.10? It is not even present in lspci. Thank you :)
[19:24] <raytray> subman, see if you have the latest drivers/etc.
[19:31] <subman> raytray, I have no idea how to do that
[19:35] <subman> Anyone know how to check to see if I have the latest NVidia drivers?
[19:36] <subman> My current driver is 304.51
[19:36] <TheSheep> subman: just install nvidia-current?
[19:37] <subman> TheSheep, won't that mess the system up if already installed?
[19:37] <TheSheep> subman: how did you install it originally?
[19:37] <subman> TheSheep, I don't recall
[19:38] <TheSheep> subman: if you installed it from the ubuntu repository, then it won't break
[19:38] <subman> TheSheep, should it not be updated automatically?
[19:39] <TheSheep> that's why it's the recommended way -- you get automatic updates and all
[19:39] <TheSheep> yes
[19:39] <TheSheep> actually, you can check
[19:39] <TheSheep> do 'dpkg -l | grep nvidia'
[19:39] <TheSheep> that will show you what packages with 'nvidia' in name you have installed
[19:40] <TheSheep> if you already have nvidia-current, then you are good
[19:41] <subman> nvidia-current is installed.  But why the crazy slow framerate?
[19:41] <TheSheep> check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if it actually gets loaded
[19:48] <subman> Well here it is:  http://pastebin.com/TGFknjpJ
[19:52] <TheSheep> subman: looks good
[19:53] <TheSheep> as far as I can tell, at least
[19:53] <subman> I assume then that this card is just not supported?
[19:54] <TheSheep> no, why, it loads the glx extension and all
[19:58] <subman> right but the frame rate is insanely slow
[19:58] <subman> 2 fps in glxgears
[20:00] <TheSheep> did you look for your card's name on the forums?
[20:00] <TheSheep> you are probably not the first person to have this problem
[20:01] <subman> No, tons of problems it seems
[20:02] <subman> It seems the latest nvidia drivers and 64 bit is broken
[20:03] <TheSheep> gotta love binary drivers
[20:03] <subman> AMD was no better
[20:04] <subman> I've never had any luck on my machines with opengl and linux
[20:15] <TheSheep> I can't complain about my intel
[20:21] <subman> Is there an 'additional drivers' gui program for xubuntu like there is in Ubuntu?
[20:22] <TheSheep> should be in 'system'
[20:22] <TheSheep> it's the same as in ubuntu
[20:22] <TheSheep> !info jockey
[20:22] <TheSheep> :/
[20:23] <TheSheep> !info jockey-gtk
[20:23] <subman> They are making things very difficult
[20:23] <TheSheep> hm, why is it optional? :(
[20:24] <Unit193> Check in software sources, iirc.
[20:24] <subman> I seem to be having more and more problems with Ubuntu ever since 10.04
[20:27] <nyRednek> subman: clean install or upgrades?
[20:27] <subman> Both
[20:28] <subman> It is not a single machine issue
[20:30] <subman> I think this is the related bug:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/982485
[20:34] <knome> TheSheep, transitional
[20:34] <knome> "jockey" should be under "software sources" in quantal
[20:47] <subman> hmmm, I have jockey-gtk installed but cannot run it.  When I try it says that it is not installed
[20:55] <TheSheep> subman: see what knome said
[20:58] <subman> I don't understand what 'software sources' is
[21:00] <subman> Ah, I see now!
[21:35] <subman> There, open source driver seems to be working much better than the nvidia ones
