[02:57] 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? === IdleOne is now known as io [11:51] hi. I cant display 1920 1080 resolution. I have an acer 23" monitor. How do i make it display that resolution? [11:52] it says cant get gamma output [11:56] hello? [11:58] problem with bluetooth manager > file browser. It wants to use "thunar" but I want to use pcmanfm. How to make it? [11:59] Error:Failed to launch "thunar" [11:59] "You can enter an alternate browser in service settings" [11:59] Where are the "service settings" so I can enter pcmanfm? [12:08] i also tried testing res dynamically: [12:08] xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1920x1080 [12:08] xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default [12:08] warning: output LVDS not found; ignoring [12:08] the same error occured using VGA1 [12:10] user92223: do you use desktop ? [12:10] delldim, yes, LXDE [12:10] ok me too [12:10] i have an acer mon 23 " [12:11] WiFi, SDcard, Video, Audio, Flash, Java, and bluetooth all work fine. Just tweaking the bluetooth file browser. [12:14] ok awesome. I'm using Lubuntu to browse files on my Android smart phone via bluetooth wireless. [12:15] I installed "Thunar". Fixed the bluetooth problem. Works now. :- ) [12:16] ahh [12:16] so not using a desktop [12:16] i have a desktop dell dimension 9200 [12:16] sorry, I thought you meant desktop as in LXDE or KDE [12:16] ok;) [12:17] delldim... monitor isn't working? [12:18] the 1920 1080 diaply is not appearing as an option [12:18] display [12:19] xrandr output gives me: [12:19] xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default [12:19] Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 [12:19] default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm [12:20] 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] i use nvidia gt 630 :) [12:23] 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] thnx) [12:23] :) [12:23] let me check [12:24] not sure if it works or not. worth a try. [12:30] hmm im not sure what to put in device - in the example it says hdmi but that doesnt appear on my output [12:31] it just says connected to default and i dont know what my default is [12:31] it doesnt say vga or hdmi on device [12:31] in my output [12:32] are you using hdmi? [12:32] i'd say enter whatever device you used before. [12:32] but i am connected to a hdmi cable [12:32] should be hdmi then [12:33] if i remember correctly it says that when im using xrandr on my other linux distros [12:34] ok i saved the xorg.conf file in the leafpad editor [12:35] so now i will restart to check then [12:36] ill be back;) [12:44] im back [12:44] ;) [12:45] thank goodness. For a moment I thought you had the black screen of death [12:45] i got a black screen probably cos i didnt enter the devices correctly [12:45] i did get the black screen [12:45] im on centos now lol [12:45] my xrandr output from centos is: [12:46] Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 [12:46] DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) [12:46] DVI-I-2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm [12:46] but im not sure how to enter it into the device section [12:47] ah... looks like the device is DVI-I-2 [12:47] it is [12:47] i thought i had hdmi but apprantly not;9 [12:48] so do i just enter DVI-I-1 or DVI-I-2 ? [12:49] i would enter with DVI-I-2 exactly like that. [12:50] 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] thnx:) allright, and why not DVI-I-1 ? [12:50] trial and error really. [12:50] thnx i will install them too;) [12:50] yes trial and error;) [12:51] i had to reconfigure with mint linux too but it was another way to edit the xorg file and add resolution ;) [12:51] centos and fedora went automatically [12:52] did u fix your problem? [12:53] yes. All working fine here. [12:53] good for you [12:53] what other distros have you tested out? [12:54] Fedora, Puppy Linux, OpenBSD, Minix, Suse & others [12:55] I prefer Lubuntu for my pcs now. [12:57] 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] i see;) [12:57] im using windows 7 alongside lubuntu and centos [12:58] next i will test out dragonflybsd and gentoo [13:00] ah..i have used dragonfly bsd a long time ago. BSD is OK but lacks the packages that ubuntu has. [13:01] ya iwant to try it cos its something appealing with a minimalistic Linux OS [13:02] you learn more about how to configure your system [13:02] that's true, if you're up for a challenge :- ) [13:04] i built openBSD from commandline into a desktop system that resembled puppy linux. Took a while and learned a LOT about BSD. [13:05] Keep a lot of notes. Still have my bsd notes lying around on my table. [13:06] yes;) [13:06] maybe when i try out dragonfly i will ask you about that too, im sure i will run into some problems along the way [13:07] no worries. [13:07] thnx;) [13:08] 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] how to get past the black screen by the way when re editing the xorg.conf file? [13:10] oh thnx for that tip. For BSD cant you just download gparted manually and unpack it thne install it? [13:11] 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] aha [13:11] wow bsd is really minimalistic then;) [13:12] also bsd kernel lacks a video frame buffer. But most people wouldn't need to use that though. [13:13] ya:) bsd is for programmers and those who want to dive into the OS code and so on;) [13:13] don't think bsd supports nvidia proprietary drivers either. [13:13] or was that ati? One or the other. [13:13] so how do i solve the video driver prpblem in case it doesnt boot at all? [13:14] may have to boot into text mode or possibly force a vesa boot.. If i can remember how.. [13:14] ya i tried netbsd the other day but i cant get passed the login after the first boot actually [13:15] i set the passwd and i know i typed it correctly [13:15] but it just says incorrect and terminal refused it [13:15] i used the entire disk for it also [13:16] login is the name of the disk i assume and then the password which says incorrect [13:16] i think login is your username isn't it? [13:17] ya but username is name of the disk which u get to enter [13:17] i dont get a dialog where it says enter username [13:18] hmm not sure. [13:19] let me know if you try it and see what happens [13:20] and i install my distros directly to my hdd not using VM Ware [13:21] by the way how do i get passed the black screen? [13:22] just a moment i'm rebooting lubuntu on my other pc [13:22] ok;) [13:25] delldim: Do you have dual boot with grub menu? [13:25] yes [13:25] centos, win7 and lubuntu [13:26] i got win7 on a 2nd disk [13:26] and linux distros on my main hdd [13:27] there is a recovery mode but i'm not familiar with that. [13:27] ya i saw that earlier [13:27] I know you can boot into text mode and re-edit your xorg.conf file on command line. [13:28] can i edit from here [13:28] ok..that would be easiest then. [13:28] just use your other distro to access it. [13:28] yes;) [13:28] using dolhin to access the lubuntu distro [13:29] and some editor tool to edit the file [13:29] try "DVI-I-2" as the device perhaps. [13:30] but im not sure how to actually access the lubuntu disk cos it doesnt show up using dolphin [13:32] what does "df -l" say? [13:33] dev/sdb1 20158332 5023876 14929680 26% / [13:33] tmpfs 1928100 524 1927576 1% /dev/shm [13:33] /dev/sr0 714028 714028 0 100% /media/Lubuntu 12.04 amd64 [13:33] and last [13:33] /dev/sdb5 17300888 2728444 13693596 17% /media/disk [13:34] what's on /media/disk ? [13:35] either lubuntu or centos im not sure [13:35] if it has /usr/share/lubuntu than that's it. [13:35] /media/disk/usr/share/lubuntu [13:37] ok i press media directory from dolphin disk utility [13:37] then i got lubuntu 12.04 amd and when i press clicked here it was empty [13:38] ah well it's probably not mounted. [13:39] ya can i mount it from here [13:39] need to find which partition contains lubuntu. Try this: sudo fdisk -l [13:40] ya my sudo doesnt work in cent os so i have to use su [13:40] it says im not a sudoer ;) [13:40] ok [13:41] this is what i have: [13:41] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [13:41] /dev/sdb1 * 1 2550 20480000 83 Linux [13:41] /dev/sdb2 2550 3634 8704000 82 Linux swap / Solaris [13:41] then [13:41] /dev/sdb3 3634 5822 17576961 5 Extended [13:41] /dev/sdb5 3634 5822 17576960 83 Linux [13:43] looks like /dev/sdb3 [13:43] ok [13:44] since you already have /dev/sdb5 mounted on /media/disk and it's empty (you say). [13:44] ya it was empy when i clicked on the lubuntu 12.04 directory [13:45] strange becuse it says /dev/sdb5 is 17% full. [13:45] ahh it says cant enter folder [13:45] so it's either sdb3 or sdb5 [13:46] media/disk/Lubuntu 12.04 [13:46] you would need to mount them and explore the directories. [13:46] ya how do i mount them? [13:46] try this: ls -a /media/disk/Lu* [13:47] ok says no such file or directory [13:47] and cannot access it [13:47] ls: cannot access /media/disk/Lu*: No such file or directory [13:48] is that Lubuntu or lubuntu (lower case?) [13:49] the directory is titled Lubuntu 12.04 amd64 so Uppercase on L [13:52] in my sda disk i get this error message Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. [13:52] i dont know if that affects this [13:53] sda is where i have win7 [13:55] i'm thinking: Mount sdb3 and see what's there. Not sure why you can't access sdb5 on /media/disk/Lubuntu* [13:55] ok [13:55] how do i mount it? [13:56] mkdir /media/disk2 [13:56] mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb3 /media/disk2 [13:57] cd /media/disk2 [13:57] ls [13:57] i got this error: [13:57] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb3, [13:57] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [13:57] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [13:57] ah. thought so.. change ext4 to whatever filesystem you have such as ext3 or whatever. [13:58] yes but i have ext4 [13:58] did you put a space between ext4 and /dev/sdb3 ? [13:59] and use your su command [13:59] yes i copied it [13:59] yes im in root [14:00] mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb3 /media/disk [14:01] actually: /media/disk2 [14:01] mkdir worked [14:02] oh so how exactly do i do it? [14:02] mount -t ext4 /media/disk [14:02] ? [14:02] mount -t ext4 /media/disk2 [14:02] yes. [14:03] mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb3 /media/disk2 [14:03] that "should" mount it. [14:03] Usage: mount -V : print version [14:03] mount -h : print this help [14:03] mount : list mounted filesystems [14:03] then i got this [14:04] lastly: [14:04] A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom, [14:04] or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid . [14:04] Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd]. [14:06] it's probably NOT sdb3 then..Looks like a blank extended partition. [14:06] Go back to sdb5. [14:07] ok try the same only replacing it with sdb5 ? [14:07] first unmount it [14:07] umount /dev/sdb3 [14:07] then try again. [14:08] ya except it was never mounted [14:08] mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb5 /media/disk2 [14:08] i got not mounted now when i tried to unmount using umount /dev/sdb3 [14:09] ok. Mount it like i said above. [14:09] ok nothign happened [14:09] just a new # promtp [14:09] means it was mounted i guess [14:09] cd /media/disk2 [14:10] try to enter the filesystem now. [14:10] ok im in disk2 now [14:10] i did an ls -l and the usual filesystem was listed, boot,usr and os on [14:11] ok..now you got to find your xorg config file. [14:11] using locate? [14:11] result: [14:11] /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d [14:11] /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d [14:12] know how to use a cli text editor? [14:12] or use your gui text editor. [14:12] leafpad usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.confd [14:12] (change leafpad to whatever editor you have) [14:13] i usually use nano [14:13] for low level editing [14:13] nano usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.confd [14:14] file is empty [14:14] was that the same file you edited before? [14:15] the file where you added hdmi as the default? [14:16] no it cant file the 10 monitor file [14:16] it only locates two xorg.conf.d files [14:17] u forgot the . in confd [14:17] but i tried nano usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf.d aswell and still just an empty file [14:18] i did save the file cos i checked it before i rebooted [14:18] What files are listed here? ls -a /media/disk2/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d ?? [14:18] (don't add the ??) [14:19] this is what i found using locate: [14:19] [root@localhost ~]# locate *.conf.d [14:19] /etc/dracut.conf.d [14:19] /etc/ld.so.conf.d [14:19] /etc/oddjobd.conf.d [14:19] /etc/prelink.conf.d [14:19] /etc/reader.conf.d [14:19] /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d [14:19] /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d [14:19] /etc/polkit-1/nullbackend.conf.d [14:19] /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d [14:19] /usr/share/doc/oddjob-0.30/sample/etc/oddjobd.conf.d [14:20] err...you're looking into CentOS's filesystem. [14:20] ok [14:20] you need to look into /media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d [14:20] so we mounted my current OS [14:21] show me what files are in that directory above. [14:22] in X11 is : [14:22] drwxr-xr-x. 62 root root 4096 Apr 23 2012 locale [14:22] lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 Jan 9 22:36 rgb.txt -> /etc/X11/rgb.txt [14:22] -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 41495 Mar 2 2012 XErrorDB [14:22] drwxr-xr-x. 10 root root 4096 Jan 10 12:21 xkb [14:22] -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 8305 Mar 7 2012 xman.help [14:22] drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Jan 10 13:34 xorg.conf.d [14:22] what's in xorg.conf.d ?

I can only suggest restoring that file back to it's default. [14:36] however it was when you booted in last. (if you can remember). [14:37] well there must be something i mistyped [14:37] i could try accesing it again [14:37] what was the device before you edited it. [14:37] mounting it [14:37] it was empty or said i think [14:38] i think we created that file..so just delete it i'd say [14:38] ya but its not there now [14:39] it found 0 files when i re entered the xorg.conf.d directory [14:39] cd /media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d [14:40] then delete 10-monitor.conf [14:40] yes except is empty in that directory [14:41] sure the /dev/sdb3 is mounted? [14:41] sorry sdb5 [14:41] when you reboot it probably unmounted sdb5 [14:42] you must be very frustrated by now ;- ) [14:42] oh the joys of linux.. [14:42] lol [14:43] mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb5 /media/disk2 [14:43] ok just checked again and its empty [14:43] so i need to remount it [14:43] yes [14:43] mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb5 /media/disk2 [14:44] [root@localhost xorg.conf.d]# ls -l [14:44] total 0 [14:44] [root@localhost xorg.conf.d] [14:44] still nothing [14:44] i mounted it when i was in xorg.conf.d dir [14:45] shouldn't matter. Do this: [14:45] ls -a /media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d [14:46] [root@localhost xorg.conf.d]# ls -a [14:46] . .. [14:46] [root@localhost xorg.conf.d]# [14:47] 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] i have to manually cd to the directory [14:47] sorry i made a mistake. do this: [14:47] i have to use / to get to some dir and just cd on others [14:48] ls -a /media/disk2/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d [14:48] root@localhost ~]# ls -a /media/disk2/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d [14:48] . 10-evdev.conf 11-evdev-quirks.conf 50-synaptics.conf 50-wacom.conf [14:48] .. 10-monitor.conf 11-evdev-trackpoint.conf 50-vmmouse.conf 51-synaptics-quirks.conf [14:48] so that one worked [14:49] i also see the file there [14:49] but how do i access it [14:50] rm s -a /media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf [14:50] sorry..don't do that. [14:50] ok i didnt;) [14:50] correction: rm /media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf [14:51] That should delete the problem file. [14:51] [root@localhost ~]# rm /media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf [14:51] rm: cannot remove `/media/disk/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf': No such file or directory [14:51] rm /media/disk2/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf [14:51] try that. [14:51] ok that worked [14:52] i wrote yes [14:52] good. that file should be deleted and can reboot. [14:52] thnx;) [14:52] i would install the nvidia proprietary drivers after reboot. [14:52] i just dont understand what i mistyped [14:52] yes i will do that [14:52] me either..wierd.. Need an xorg expert [14:54] yes [14:54] ok so reeboting and installing additional drivers [14:55] All the best. Hope it works this time. [14:55] without editing the xorg file right+ [14:55] ? [14:55] just the drivers? [14:55] yeah...you can install nvidia proprietary from the menu (if your driver is available). [14:55] k;) [14:57] ok back in lubuntu [14:57] so where do i find the drivers [14:58] menu > preferences > additional drivers [14:58] ok thnx [15:00] dialog box appeared and it says no prop drivers are in use on this system [15:00] what's your nvidia card? [15:00] below are three options [15:00] gt 630 [15:00] what options are displayed? [15:00] first is post release, second is beta and third is also betas [15:01] first beta is 304 second 310 [15:01] 310 is the latest probably [15:02] They're your drivers id say. [15:02] the 310 ? [15:02] i'm just checking [15:02] but i'm guessing....Yes. [15:02]
