| oitofelix | Hello. I'm using lubuntu 12.10 and I installed Tunapie 2 to listen to audio streams. But unfortunately when I run Tunapie it just hangs when downloading the radio list. Is there anyone successfully running Tunapie 2 right now? | 02:57 |

| delldim | hello? | 11:56 |
| user92223 | problem with bluetooth manager > file browser. It wants to use "thunar" but I want to use pcmanfm. How to make it? | 11:58 |
| user92223 | Error:Failed to launch "thunar" | 11:59 |
| user92223 | "You can enter an alternate browser in service settings" | 11:59 |
| user92223 | Where are the "service settings" so I can enter pcmanfm? | 11:59 |
| delldim | i also tried testing res dynamically: | 12:08 |
| delldim | xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1920x1080 | 12:08 |
| delldim | xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default | 12:08 |
| delldim | warning: output LVDS not found; ignoring | 12:08 |
| delldim | the same error occured using VGA1 | 12:08 |
| delldim | user92223: do you use desktop ? | 12:10 |
| user92223 | delldim, yes, LXDE | 12:10 |
| delldim | ok me too | 12:10 |
| delldim | i have an acer mon 23 " | 12:10 |
| user92223 | <using Lenovo Thinkpad Laptop. Must admit Lubuntu works great. | 12:11 |
| user92223 | WiFi, SDcard, Video, Audio, Flash, Java, and bluetooth all work fine. Just tweaking the bluetooth file browser. | 12:12 |
| user92223 | ok awesome. I'm using Lubuntu to browse files on my Android smart phone via bluetooth wireless. | 12:14 |
| user92223 | I installed "Thunar". Fixed the bluetooth problem. Works now. :- ) | 12:15 |
| delldim | ahh | 12:16 |
| delldim | so not using a desktop | 12:16 |
| delldim | i have a desktop dell dimension 9200 | 12:16 |
| user92223 | sorry, I thought you meant desktop as in LXDE or KDE | 12:16 |
| delldim | ok;) | 12:16 |
| user92223 | delldim... monitor isn't working? | 12:17 |
| delldim | the 1920 1080 diaply is not appearing as an option | 12:18 |
| delldim | display | 12:18 |
| delldim | xrandr output gives me: | 12:19 |
| delldim | xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default | 12:19 |
| delldim | Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 | 12:19 |
| delldim | default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm | 12:19 |
| delldim | and i do have a monitor and a nvidia card to display it cos it works in windows 7, centos, fedora, mint linux and os on | 12:20 |
| delldim | i use nvidia gt 630 :) | 12:20 |
| user92223 | delldim. I found a tutorial how to fix it. http://samuelmartin.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/enabling-resolutions-in-ubuntu-12-04-lubuntu-12-04/ | 12:23 |
| delldim | thnx) | 12:23 |
| delldim | :) | 12:23 |
| delldim | let me check | 12:23 |
| user92223 | not sure if it works or not. worth a try. | 12:24 |
| delldim | hmm im not sure what to put in device - in the example it says hdmi but that doesnt appear on my output | 12:30 |
| delldim | it just says connected to default and i dont know what my default is | 12:31 |
| delldim | it doesnt say vga or hdmi on device | 12:31 |
| delldim | in my output | 12:31 |
| user92223 | are you using hdmi? | 12:32 |
| user92223 | i'd say enter whatever device you used before. | 12:32 |
| delldim | but i am connected to a hdmi cable | 12:32 |
| user92223 | should be hdmi then | 12:32 |
| delldim | if i remember correctly it says that when im using xrandr on my other linux distros | 12:33 |
| delldim | ok i saved the xorg.conf file in the leafpad editor | 12:34 |
| delldim | so now i will restart to check then | 12:35 |
| delldim | ill be back;) | 12:36 |
| delldim | im back | 12:44 |
| delldim | ;) | 12:44 |
| user92223 | thank goodness. For a moment I thought you had the black screen of death | 12:45 |
| delldim | i got a black screen probably cos i didnt enter the devices correctly | 12:45 |
| delldim | i did get the black screen | 12:45 |
| delldim | im on centos now lol | 12:45 |
| delldim | my xrandr output from centos is: | 12:45 |
| delldim | Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 | 12:46 |
| delldim | DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | 12:46 |
| delldim | DVI-I-2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm | 12:46 |
| delldim | but im not sure how to enter it into the device section | 12:46 |
| user92223 | ah... looks like the device is DVI-I-2 | 12:47 |
| delldim | it is | 12:47 |
| delldim | i thought i had hdmi but apprantly not;9 | 12:47 |
| delldim | so do i just enter DVI-I-1 or DVI-I-2 ? | 12:48 |
| user92223 | i would enter with DVI-I-2 exactly like that. | 12:49 |
| user92223 | I also had another idea: To install the Nvidia Proprietary driver in Preferences >> "additional drivers". (if you are using Nvidia and can't get the default driver working). | 12:50 |
| delldim | thnx:) allright, and why not DVI-I-1 ? | 12:50 |
| user92223 | trial and error really. | 12:50 |
| delldim | thnx i will install them too;) | 12:50 |
| delldim | yes trial and error;) | 12:50 |
| delldim | i had to reconfigure with mint linux too but it was another way to edit the xorg file and add resolution ;) | 12:51 |
| delldim | centos and fedora went automatically | 12:51 |
| delldim | did u fix your problem? | 12:52 |
| user92223 | yes. All working fine here. | 12:53 |
| delldim | good for you | 12:53 |
| delldim | what other distros have you tested out? | 12:53 |
| user92223 | Fedora, Puppy Linux, OpenBSD, Minix, Suse & others | 12:54 |
| user92223 | I prefer Lubuntu for my pcs now. | 12:55 |
| user92223 | actually I just deleted Windows Vista and installed Lubuntu. Bought a PC with an unregistered Vista that expired in 4 days so i deleted it. | 12:57 |
| delldim | i see;) | 12:57 |
| delldim | im using windows 7 alongside lubuntu and centos | 12:57 |
| delldim | next i will test out dragonflybsd and gentoo | 12:58 |
| user92223 | ah..i have used dragonfly bsd a long time ago. BSD is OK but lacks the packages that ubuntu has. | 13:00 |
| delldim | ya iwant to try it cos its something appealing with a minimalistic Linux OS | 13:01 |
| delldim | you learn more about how to configure your system | 13:02 |
| user92223 | that's true, if you're up for a challenge :- ) | 13:02 |
| user92223 | i built openBSD from commandline into a desktop system that resembled puppy linux. Took a while and learned a LOT about BSD. | 13:04 |
| user92223 | Keep a lot of notes. Still have my bsd notes lying around on my table. | 13:05 |
| delldim | yes;) | 13:06 |
| delldim | maybe when i try out dragonfly i will ask you about that too, im sure i will run into some problems along the way | 13:06 |
| user92223 | no worries. | 13:07 |
| delldim | thnx;) | 13:07 |
| user92223 | You will find that BSD lacks packages for example, gparted and no flashplayer. But there is a linux compatibility system to run linux apps if you know how. | 13:08 |
| delldim | how to get past the black screen by the way when re editing the xorg.conf file? | 13:08 |
| delldim | oh thnx for that tip. For BSD cant you just download gparted manually and unpack it thne install it? | 13:10 |
| user92223 | no, gparted doesnt exist for bsd. It might work in compatibility mode but i never tried it. You'll have to format disks using command line. | 13:11 |
| delldim | aha | 13:11 |
| delldim | wow bsd is really minimalistic then;) | 13:11 |
| user92223 | also bsd kernel lacks a video frame buffer. But most people wouldn't need to use that though. | 13:12 |
| delldim | ya:) bsd is for programmers and those who want to dive into the OS code and so on;) | 13:13 |
| user92223 | don't think bsd supports nvidia proprietary drivers either. | 13:13 |
| user92223 | or was that ati? One or the other. | 13:13 |
| delldim | so how do i solve the video driver prpblem in case it doesnt boot at all? | 13:13 |
| user92223 | may have to boot into text mode or possibly force a vesa boot.. If i can remember how.. | 13:14 |
| delldim | ya i tried netbsd the other day but i cant get passed the login after the first boot actually | 13:14 |
| delldim | i set the passwd and i know i typed it correctly | 13:15 |
| delldim | but it just says incorrect and terminal refused it | 13:15 |
| delldim | i used the entire disk for it also | 13:15 |
| delldim | login is the name of the disk i assume and then the password which says incorrect | 13:16 |
| user92223 | i think login is your username isn't it? | 13:16 |
| delldim | ya but username is name of the disk which u get to enter | 13:17 |
| delldim | i dont get a dialog where it says enter username | 13:17 |
| user92223 | hmm not sure. | 13:18 |
| delldim | let me know if you try it and see what happens | 13:19 |
| delldim | and i install my distros directly to my hdd not using VM Ware | 13:20 |
| delldim | by the way how do i get passed the black screen? | 13:21 |
| user92223 | just a moment i'm rebooting lubuntu on my other pc | 13:22 |
| delldim | ok;) | 13:22 |
| user92223 | delldim: Do you have dual boot with grub menu? | 13:25 |
| delldim | yes | 13:25 |
| delldim | centos, win7 and lubuntu | 13:25 |
| delldim | i got win7 on a 2nd disk | 13:26 |
| delldim | and linux distros on my main hdd | 13:26 |
| user92223 | there is a recovery mode but i'm not familiar with that. | 13:27 |
| delldim | ya i saw that earlier | 13:27 |
| user92223 | I know you can boot into text mode and re-edit your xorg.conf file on command line. | 13:27 |
| delldim | can i edit from here | 13:28 |
| user92223 | ok..that would be easiest then. | 13:28 |
| user92223 | just use your other distro to access it. | 13:28 |
| delldim | yes;) | 13:28 |
| delldim | using dolhin to access the lubuntu distro | 13:28 |
| delldim | and some editor tool to edit the file | 13:29 |
| user92223 | try "DVI-I-2" as the device perhaps. | 13:29 |
| delldim | but im not sure how to actually access the lubuntu disk cos it doesnt show up using dolphin | 13:30 |
| user92223 | what does "df -l" say? | 13:32 |
| delldim | dev/sdb1 20158332 5023876 14929680 26% / | 13:33 |
| delldim | tmpfs 1928100 524 1927576 1% /dev/shm | 13:33 |
| delldim | /dev/sr0 714028 714028 0 100% /media/Lubuntu 12.04 amd64 | 13:33 |
| delldim | and last | 13:33 |
| delldim | /dev/sdb5 17300888 2728444 13693596 17% /media/disk | 13:33 |
| user92223 | what's on /media/disk ? | 13:34 |
| delldim | either lubuntu or centos im not sure | 13:35 |
| user92223 | if it has /usr/share/lubuntu than that's it. | 13:35 |
| user92223 | /media/disk/usr/share/lubuntu | 13:35 |
| delldim | ok i press media directory from dolphin disk utility | 13:37 |
| delldim | then i got lubuntu 12.04 amd and when i press clicked here it was empty | 13:37 |
| user92223 | ah well it's probably not mounted. | 13:38 |
| delldim | ya can i mount it from here | 13:39 |
| user92223 | need to find which partition contains lubuntu. Try this: sudo fdisk -l | 13:39 |
| delldim | ya my sudo doesnt work in cent os so i have to use su | 13:40 |
| delldim | it says im not a sudoer ;) | 13:40 |
| user92223 | ok | 13:40 |
| delldim | this is what i have: | 13:41 |
| delldim | Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System | 13:41 |
| delldim | /dev/sdb1 * 1 2550 20480000 83 Linux | 13:41 |
| delldim | /dev/sdb2 2550 3634 8704000 82 Linux swap / Solaris | 13:41 |
| delldim | then | 13:41 |
| delldim | /dev/sdb3 3634 5822 17576961 5 Extended | 13:41 |
| delldim | /dev/sdb5 3634 5822 17576960 83 Linux | 13:41 |
| user92223 | looks like /dev/sdb3 | 13:43 |
| delldim | ok | 13:43 |
| user92223 | since you already have /dev/sdb5 mounted on /media/disk and it's empty (you say). | 13:44 |
| delldim | ya it was empy when i clicked on the lubuntu 12.04 directory | 13:44 |
| user92223 | strange becuse it says /dev/sdb5 is 17% full. | 13:45 |
| delldim | ahh it says cant enter folder | 13:45 |
| user92223 | so it's either sdb3 or sdb5 | 13:45 |
| delldim | media/disk/Lubuntu 12.04 | 13:46 |
| user92223 | you would need to mount them and explore the directories. | 13:46 |
| delldim | ya how do i mount them? | 13:46 |
| user92223 | try this: ls -a /media/disk/Lu* | 13:46 |
| delldim | ok says no such file or directory | 13:47 |
| delldim | and cannot access it | 13:47 |
| delldim | ls: cannot access /media/disk/Lu*: No such file or directory | 13:47 |
| user92223 | is that Lubuntu or lubuntu (lower case?) | 13:48 |
| delldim | the directory is titled Lubuntu 12.04 amd64 so Uppercase on L | 13:49 |
| delldim | in my sda disk i get this error message Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. | 13:52 |
| delldim | i dont know if that affects this | 13:52 |
| delldim | sda is where i have win7 | 13:53 |
| user92223 | i'm thinking: Mount sdb3 and see what's there. Not sure why you can't access sdb5 on /media/disk/Lubuntu* | 13:55 |
| delldim | ok | 13:55 |
| delldim | how do i mount it? | 13:55 |
| user92223 | mkdir /media/disk2 | 13:56 |
| user92223 | mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb3 /media/disk2 | 13:56 |
| user92223 | cd /media/disk2 | 13:57 |
| user92223 | ls | 13:57 |
| delldim | i got this error: | 13:57 |
| delldim | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb3, | 13:57 |
| delldim | missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 13:57 |
| delldim | In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try | 13:57 |
| user92223 | ah. thought so.. change ext4 to whatever filesystem you have such as ext3 or whatever. | 13:57 |
| delldim | yes but i have ext4 | 13:58 |
| user92223 | did you put a space between ext4 and /dev/sdb3 ? | 13:58 |
| user92223 | and use your su command | 13:59 |
| delldim | yes i copied it | 13:59 |
| delldim | yes im in root | 13:59 |
| delldim | mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb3 /media/disk | 14:00 |
| user92223 | actually: /media/disk2 | 14:01 |
| delldim | mkdir worked | 14:01 |
| delldim | oh so how exactly do i do it? | 14:02 |
| delldim | mount -t ext4 /media/disk | 14:02 |
| delldim | ? | 14:02 |
| delldim | mount -t ext4 /media/disk2 | 14:02 |
| user92223 | yes. | 14:02 |
| user92223 | mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb3 /media/disk2 | 14:03 |
| user92223 | that "should" mount it. | 14:03 |
| delldim | Usage: mount -V : print version | 14:03 |
| delldim | mount -h : print this help | 14:03 |
| delldim | mount : list mounted filesystems | 14:03 |
| delldim | then i got this | 14:03 |
| delldim | lastly: | 14:04 |
| delldim | A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom, | 14:04 |
| delldim | or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid . | 14:04 |
| delldim | Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd]. | 14:04 |
| user92223 | it's probably NOT sdb3 then..Looks like a blank extended partition. | 14:06 |
| user92223 | Go back to sdb5. | 14:06 |
| delldim | ok try the same only replacing it with sdb5 ? | 14:07 |
| user92223 | first unmount it | 14:07 |
| user92223 | umount /dev/sdb3 | 14:07 |
| user92223 | then try again. | 14:07 |
| delldim | ya except it was never mounted | 14:08 |
| user92223 | mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb5 /media/disk2 | 14:08 |
| delldim | i got not mounted now when i tried to unmount using umount /dev/sdb3 | 14:08 |
| user92223 | ok. Mount it like i said above. | 14:09 |
| delldim | ok nothign happened | 14:09 |
| delldim | just a new # promtp | 14:09 |
| delldim | means it was mounted i guess | 14:09 |
| user92223 | cd /media/disk2 | 14:09 |
| user92223 | try to enter the filesystem now. | 14:10 |
| delldim | ok im in disk2 now | 14:10 |
| delldim | i did an ls -l and the usual filesystem was listed, boot,usr and os on | 14:10 |
| user92223 | ok..now you got to find your xorg config file. | 14:11 |
| delldim | using locate? | 14:11 |
| delldim | result: | 14:11 |
| delldim | /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d | 14:11 |
| delldim | /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 14:11 |
| user92223 | know how to use a cli text editor? | 14:12 |
| user92223 | or use your gui text editor. | 14:12 |
| user92223 | leafpad usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.confd | 14:12 |
| user92223 | (change leafpad to whatever editor you have) | 14:12 |
| delldim | i usually use nano | 14:13 |
| delldim | for low level editing | 14:13 |
| user92223 | nano usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.confd | 14:13 |
| delldim | file is empty | 14:14 |
| user92223 | was that the same file you edited before? | 14:14 |
| user92223 | the file where you added hdmi as the default? | 14:15 |
| delldim | no it cant file the 10 monitor file | 14:16 |
| delldim | it only locates two xorg.conf.d files | 14:16 |
| delldim | u forgot the . in confd | 14:17 |
| delldim | but i tried nano usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf.d aswell and still just an empty file | 14:17 |
| delldim | i did save the file cos i checked it before i rebooted | 14:18 |
| user92223 | What files are listed here? ls -a /media/disk2/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d ?? | 14:18 |
| user92223 | (don't add the ??) | 14:18 |
| delldim | this is what i found using locate: | 14:19 |
| delldim | [root@localhost ~]# locate *.conf.d | 14:19 |
| delldim | /etc/dracut.conf.d | 14:19 |
| delldim | /etc/ld.so.conf.d | 14:19 |

| delldim | /etc/polkit-1/nullbackend.conf.d | 14:19 |
| delldim | /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 14:19 |
| delldim | /usr/share/doc/oddjob-0.30/sample/etc/oddjobd.conf.d | 14:19 |
| user92223 | err...you're looking into CentOS's filesystem. | 14:20 |
| delldim | ok | 14:20 |
| user92223 | you need to look into /media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 14:20 |
| delldim | so we mounted my current OS | 14:20 |
| user92223 | show me what files are in that directory above. | 14:21 |
| delldim | in X11 is : | 14:22 |

| delldim | ahh there | 14:23 |
| delldim | i saw it | 14:23 |
| user92223 | see 10-monitor.conf | 14:23 |
| user92223 | Do this: | 14:23 |
| delldim | im in the file now | 14:23 |
| delldim | with nano | 14:23 |
| user92223 | nano /media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf | 14:23 |
| delldim | ya im in already;) | 14:24 |
| delldim | i changed it to DVI-I-2 | 14:24 |
| delldim | in device | 14:24 |
| user92223 | cool..don't forget to save ;- ) | 14:24 |
| delldim | ya it makes sence using DVI-I-2 cos it says connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510 | 14:26 |
| user92223 | hope it works | 14:26 |
| delldim | it looks like its this that is used for connection | 14:26 |
| delldim | thnx ok i will reboot and let you know | 14:26 |
| user92223 | ok | 14:26 |
| delldim | and not recovery but the regualr one | 14:27 |
| delldim | i also have to edit the grub file to set nomodeset so i dont have to change in each time in the grub menu;) | 14:27 |
| delldim | otherwise i get a freeze and some color stripes | 14:27 |
| delldim | probably to do with the hardware graphics card not supprting quite splash | 14:28 |
| delldim | still black screen | 14:33 |
| delldim | u there;) | 14:35 |
| user92223 | ok..that's no good. I can only suggest restoring that file back to it's default. | 14:35 |
| user92223 | however it was when you booted in last. (if you can remember). | 14:36 |
| delldim | well there must be something i mistyped | 14:37 |
| delldim | i could try accesing it again | 14:37 |
| user92223 | what was the device before you edited it. | 14:37 |
| delldim | mounting it | 14:37 |
| delldim | it was empty or said <put your device name here> i think | 14:37 |
| user92223 | i think we created that file..so just delete it i'd say | 14:38 |
| delldim | ya but its not there now | 14:38 |
| delldim | it found 0 files when i re entered the xorg.conf.d directory | 14:39 |
| user92223 | cd /media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 14:39 |
| user92223 | then delete 10-monitor.conf | 14:40 |
| delldim | yes except is empty in that directory | 14:40 |
| user92223 | sure the /dev/sdb3 is mounted? | 14:41 |
| user92223 | sorry sdb5 | 14:41 |
| user92223 | when you reboot it probably unmounted sdb5 | 14:41 |
| user92223 | you must be very frustrated by now ;- ) | 14:42 |
| user92223 | oh the joys of linux.. | 14:42 |
| delldim | lol | 14:42 |
| user92223 | mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb5 /media/disk2 | 14:43 |
| delldim | ok just checked again and its empty | 14:43 |
| delldim | so i need to remount it | 14:43 |
| user92223 | yes | 14:43 |
| delldim | mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb5 /media/disk2 | 14:43 |
| delldim | [root@localhost xorg.conf.d]# ls -l | 14:44 |
| delldim | total 0 | 14:44 |
| delldim | [root@localhost xorg.conf.d] | 14:44 |
| delldim | still nothing | 14:44 |
| delldim | i mounted it when i was in xorg.conf.d dir | 14:44 |
| user92223 | shouldn't matter. Do this: | 14:45 |
| user92223 | ls -a /media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 14:45 |
| delldim | [root@localhost xorg.conf.d]# ls -a | 14:46 |
| delldim | . .. | 14:46 |
| delldim | [root@localhost xorg.conf.d]# | 14:46 |
| delldim | if i do the entire ls -a /media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d or la -l /media... i get no such file or directory | 14:47 |
| delldim | i have to manually cd to the directory | 14:47 |
| user92223 | sorry i made a mistake. do this: | 14:47 |
| delldim | i have to use / to get to some dir and just cd on others | 14:47 |
| user92223 | ls -a /media/disk2/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 14:48 |
| delldim | root@localhost ~]# ls -a /media/disk2/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 14:48 |
| delldim | . 10-evdev.conf 11-evdev-quirks.conf 50-synaptics.conf 50-wacom.conf | 14:48 |
| delldim | .. 10-monitor.conf 11-evdev-trackpoint.conf 50-vmmouse.conf 51-synaptics-quirks.conf | 14:48 |
| delldim | so that one worked | 14:48 |
| delldim | i also see the file there | 14:49 |
| delldim | but how do i access it | 14:49 |
| user92223 | rm s -a /media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf | 14:50 |
| user92223 | sorry..don't do that. | 14:50 |
| delldim | ok i didnt;) | 14:50 |
| user92223 | correction: rm /media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf | 14:50 |
| user92223 | That should delete the problem file. | 14:51 |
| delldim | [root@localhost ~]# rm /media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf | 14:51 |
| delldim | rm: cannot remove `/media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf': No such file or directory | 14:51 |
| user92223 | rm /media/disk2/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf | 14:51 |
| user92223 | try that. | 14:51 |
| delldim | ok that worked | 14:51 |
| delldim | i wrote yes | 14:52 |
| user92223 | good. that file should be deleted and can reboot. | 14:52 |
| delldim | thnx;) | 14:52 |
| user92223 | i would install the nvidia proprietary drivers after reboot. | 14:52 |
| delldim | i just dont understand what i mistyped | 14:52 |
| delldim | yes i will do that | 14:52 |
| user92223 | me either..wierd.. Need an xorg expert | 14:52 |
| delldim | yes | 14:54 |
| delldim | ok so reeboting and installing additional drivers | 14:54 |
| user92223 | All the best. Hope it works this time. | 14:55 |
| delldim | without editing the xorg file right+ | 14:55 |
| delldim | ? | 14:55 |
| delldim | just the drivers? | 14:55 |
| user92223 | yeah...you can install nvidia proprietary from the menu (if your driver is available). | 14:55 |
| delldim | k;) | 14:55 |
| delldim | ok back in lubuntu | 14:57 |
| delldim | so where do i find the drivers | 14:57 |
| user92223 | menu > preferences > additional drivers | 14:58 |
| delldim | ok thnx | 14:58 |
| delldim | dialog box appeared and it says no prop drivers are in use on this system | 15:00 |
| user92223 | what's your nvidia card? | 15:00 |
| delldim | below are three options | 15:00 |
| delldim | gt 630 | 15:00 |
| user92223 | what options are displayed? | 15:00 |
| delldim | first is post release, second is beta and third is also betas | 15:00 |
| delldim | first beta is 304 second 310 | 15:01 |
| delldim | 310 is the latest probably | 15:01 |
| user92223 | They're your drivers id say. | 15:02 |
| delldim | the 310 ? | 15:02 |
| user92223 | i'm just checking | 15:02 |
| user92223 | but i'm guessing....Yes. | 15:02 |
| delldim | ok so i select that one and activate driver by clicking radio button where it says driver is not activated? | 15:02 |
| user92223 | yes. | 15:03 |
| delldim | ok i chose 310 and its downloading | 15:03 |
| delldim | and installing | 15:04 |
| delldim | thats the one for windows 7 also | 15:04 |
| delldim | its their newest | 15:05 |
| user92223 | well that would be it. | 15:05 |
| user92223 | hopefully it will support all your resolutions. | 15:06 |
| delldim | ok i need to restart | 15:06 |
| delldim | to get it to work;) | 15:07 |
| delldim | so back in a bit;) | 15:07 |
| user92223 | k | 15:07 |
| delldim | it worked! | 15:09 |
| delldim | thanks:) | 15:09 |
| user92223 | good. | 15:09 |
| delldim | well this was different;) | 15:09 |
| delldim | a new lubuntu world | 15:09 |
| user92223 | how's the resolutions? | 15:09 |
| delldim | delldim@delldim-Dell-DXP061:~$ xrandr | 15:09 |
| delldim | Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384 | 15:09 |
| delldim | DVI-I-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | 15:09 |
| delldim | DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | 15:09 |
| delldim | DVI-I-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | 15:09 |
| delldim | HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | 15:09 |
| delldim | DVI-I-3 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510 | 15:09 |
| user92223 | interesting...DVI-I-3. | 15:10 |
| delldim | so now that is fixed the things left are the mysterious netbsd | 15:10 |
| delldim | and testing dragonflybsd | 15:10 |
| delldim | ;) | 15:11 |
| delldim | yes it connected to a new DVi | 15:11 |
| user92223 | so it's DVI-I-3. Not HDMI-I-2 | 15:11 |
| user92223 | the device. | 15:12 |
| delldim | yes | 15:12 |
| delldim | i use dvi and not hdmi so i need to get a hold of a hdmi cable | 15:12 |
| user92223 | that would explain why hdmi wasn't showing | 15:12 |
| delldim | yep | 15:12 |
| delldim | but i doubt there is a difference between them;) | 15:12 |
| delldim | do i get sharper contrast with hdmi ? | 15:13 |
| user92223 | don't know. never used hdmi. | 15:13 |
| user92223 | I'm an old school vga guy. | 15:13 |
| delldim | lol | 15:14 |
| delldim | hehe | 15:14 |
| delldim | a little detail there | 15:14 |
| delldim | well i have to say that i do get sharp contrast using my dvi | 15:15 |
| delldim | but would be fun to test hdmi of course;) | 15:15 |
| delldim | to compare | 15:15 |
| user92223 | yes.. My laptop has hdmi but my monitors are vga. ( i buy them cheap) | 15:15 |
| delldim | oh so how does that work when one got a hmdi laptop and hdmi cabel versus a hdmi cabel and vga laptop | 15:16 |
| delldim | i mean vga monitor | 15:16 |
| delldim | i thought u had to have the same vga to vga and hdmi to hdmi | 15:17 |
| user92223 | you can get a hdmi to vga adapter. But my laptop has vga output also so I use that. | 15:17 |
| delldim | ok;) | 15:17 |
| delldim | the best result is a hdmi output from the monitor and a hdmi cable ? | 15:17 |
| user92223 | yeah, i'd say so. | 15:18 |
| delldim | ok;) | 15:18 |
| user92223 | hdmi output from pc to hdmi monitor. | 15:19 |
| user92223 | So that's a success story. Time for me to shutdown. Past midnight here. Bye. | 15:19 |
| delldim | hehe | 15:20 |
| delldim | back now | 15:20 |
| delldim | i had to get food | 15:20 |
| delldim | ok so see you later then | 15:20 |
| delldim | ;) | 15:20 |
| delldim | thanks for your help | 15:21 |
| tramm | This is getting strange, the translation site http://pootle.lxde.bsnet.se/ is down for ages already | 15:49 |
| tramm | Is LXDE alive at all? http://wiki.lxde.org/en/How_to_translate_LXDE_components gives no other directions how to translate... | 15:49 |
| holstein | tramm: this is not an lxde channel.. its lubuntu, which uses LXDE | 15:49 |
| holstein | tramm: i find LXDE has issues like any other small un-funded community run project.. maybe not being able to pay bills, or secure URL's | 15:50 |
| holstein | tramm: lubuntu is alive.. LXDE is alive.. its open, and its an open community project, so LXDE is as alive as we make it | 15:51 |
| tramm | holstein, thanks for replying, but I'm trying to translate Lubuntu and I have already asked in LXDE channels for weeks. | 15:51 |
| holstein | tramm: LXDE is not lubuntu | 15:51 |
| holstein | tramm: maybe this will help.. they are 2 different projects.. if you want to help with translation on lubuntu, this is a good start | 15:52 |
| holstein | LXDE is a different project | 15:52 |
| tramm | holstein, why do you keep repeating that? | 15:52 |
| tramm | Lubuntu translation page refers to LXDE translations | 15:52 |
| holstein | tramm: because you stated "i have been trying to translate for lubuntu and asking in LXDE support channels" | 15:52 |
| tramm | holstein, I still don't get your point | 15:52 |
| holstein | tramm: LXDE support channels dont have anything to do with lubuntu | 15:53 |
| holstein | tramm: lubuntu just uses LXDE | 15:53 |
| tramm | Lubuntu uses LXDE and refers to LXDE translation instructions for translating Lubuntu | 15:53 |
| holstein | tramm: sure, but we dont share those development resources | 15:54 |
| tramm | holstein, are you suggesting that Lubuntu uses LXDE but doesn't care about it? | 15:54 |
| holstein | tramm: if you want to translate for lubuntu, then this is the place.. otherwise asking at LXDE is not going to work | 15:54 |
| holstein | tramm: its not that they dont care about it,.. its a different project | 15:54 |
| tramm | holstein, ok, let's do it this way... Yes, I want to translate Lubuntu very much! Help me! | 15:54 |
| holstein | tramm: ok.. stop asking in LXDE channels | 15:55 |
| holstein | tramm: /join #lubuntu-offtopic | 15:55 |
| holstein | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Translations | 15:56 |
| holstein | and ignore, or report the ones that are not working.. such as the LXDE specific ones | 15:56 |
| holstein | http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Category:Translations is a nice list of upstream dev's | 15:57 |
| greenwolf | was there a #lubuntu community meeting today in IRC? | 17:18 |
| holstein | greenwolf: xubuntu | 17:20 |
| greenwolf | i see so it was xubuntu that was having the community meeting not lubuntu? | 17:28 |
| greenwolf | well thanks for clearing that up form e | 17:28 |
| holstein | greenwolf: i saw the xubuntu meeting.. and i didnt see a lubuntu meeting.. if there were a lubuntu meeting, i would expect it in #lubuntu-offtopic | 17:29 |
| greenwolf | okthanks | 17:34 |
| greenwolf | i just got a copy of the log | 17:34 |

| holstein | !paste | 19:15 |

| holstein | you dont need to install pastebinit, though you can if you'd like | 19:22 |

| ioria | in this way ? | 19:30 |
| holstein | looks good | 19:30 |
| ioria | yep.... so ? my pc is very old ... | 19:31 |
| ioria | pentium 3 e ram pc133 | 19:31 |
| holstein | http://code.google.com/p/clementine-player/issues/detail?id=2991 | 19:31 |
| holstein | ioria: are you up to date with upgrades? | 19:32 |
| ioria | sure ... i installed yesterday | 19:32 |
| holstein | ioria: are you upgraded though? | 19:32 |
| ioria | with netinstall from a mini iso | 19:32 |
| holstein | ioria: did you search for and apply upgrades? | 19:32 |
| ioria | yes | 19:32 |
| holstein | ioria: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? or something like that? | 19:33 |
| ioria | come again, please ? | 19:33 |
| ioria | oh.... yes | 19:33 |
| holstein | where did you get clementine? the default repos? | 19:33 |
| ioria | sholud upgrade to 12.10 ? | 19:33 |
| ioria | yes | 19:33 |
| ioria | apt-get i add medibuntu repo | 19:34 |
| holstein | ioria: i wouldnt upgrade due to one piece of software.. with this little troubleshooting | 19:34 |
| ioria | i agree | 19:34 |
| Unit193 | And if it is a P3, I'd bet not PAE. | 19:34 |
| ioria | when i touch the progressibe bar of clementine i heard something | 19:34 |
| holstein | i would use VLC on that hardware | 19:35 |
| Unit193 | ioria: type grep pae /proc/cpuinfo and see if you have any output real quick. | 19:35 |
| holstein | or cvlc | 19:35 |
| ioria | flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 mtrr pge mca cmov pse36 mmx fxsr sse up | 19:35 |
| ioria | Unit193: | 19:36 |
| holstein | i get clementine : Depends: libchromaprint0 (>= 0.2) but it is not going to be installed | 19:36 |
| ioria | well... gnome-mplayer is good but i had to remove mplayer2 and add mplayer | 19:37 |
| Unit193 | Wow. So your hardware is actually compatible with the next version. | 19:37 |
| ioria | sure :------------------) | 19:37 |
| ioria | and it's great ... do you want my lspci ? | 19:37 |
| holstein | Unit193: can you install clementine in 12.04? | 19:37 |
| Unit193 | holstein: The simulation works. | 19:38 |
| holstein | Unit193: whats the sim flag again? | 19:39 |
| Unit193 | holstein: -s | 19:39 |
| holstein | "that was easy" | 19:39 |
| Unit193 | Never used clementine, and not on 12.04 either. I'd check volume, and see if pulse is installed. | 19:41 |
| holstein | Unit193: the sim worked for me too | 19:42 |
| holstein | now its working.. i think i had issue on my end... | 19:42 |
| holstein | i'll have to come back to it though.. im running late.. | 19:43 |
