| hpuser2323 | What USB sound cards are known to work with Lubuntu 12.04? | 05:04 |
|---|---|---|
| hpuser2323 | Also my LCD has dimmed and I can't brighten it. Any ideas? | 05:08 |
| hpuser2323 | Looks like creative labs soundblaster is the go. | 05:14 |
| hpuser2323 | in ubuntu anyway. | 05:15 |
| hpuser2323 | later. | 05:15 |
| hpuser4466 | where's the grub menu entry for a full lubuntu install? | 05:54 |
| hpuser4466 | I want to check the kernel line options. | 05:54 |
| Unit193 | You can see some of them in /etc/default/grub | 05:56 |
| Unit193 | You can see more in the generated config file in /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 05:56 |
| hpuser4466 | found /etc/default/grub | 06:00 |
| hpuser4466 | Now, do i add kernel options to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" | 06:00 |
| hpuser4466 | or maybe this line is better: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" | 06:01 |
| hpuser4466 | cause i want to add an acpi power option | 06:02 |
| Unit193 | You edit the file, then rerun update-grub. | 06:03 |
| hpuser4466 | yes, so which line above is best to add a kernel option? | 06:04 |
| Unit193 | I've used both, but since I have one on this computer in default, I'll say that. | 06:05 |
| Unit193 | Don't remember which is technically correct. | 06:05 |
| hpuser4466 | it's OK. I found the answer. | 06:06 |
| hpuser4466 | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" is used for normal and recovery modes. That would be best. | 06:07 |
| hpuser4466 | cause i want to add a power option to force my lcd brighter. Universally. | 06:07 |
| hpuser4466 | And is there is an Xorg file where I can set LCD brightness??? | 06:08 |
| hpuser4466 | Lubuntu 12.04 really shuffled the xorg configurations! | 06:09 |
| Unit193 | !xorg.conf | 06:11 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 06:11 |
| Unit193 | Bah, wrong one... | 06:12 |
| Unit193 | !xorgconf | 06:12 |
| ubottu | The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. | 06:12 |
| Unit193 | Also, default is better since if you mess up, you can fix in recovery. | 06:12 |
| hpuser4466 | where are the default video settings? | 06:14 |
| hpuser4466 | using foss drivers | 06:14 |
| hpuser4466 | or are the settings applied automatically by the system with no user input unless I make an xorg.conf file | 06:15 |
| Unit193 | Generally, it's supposed to auto set things, though you can generate a xorg configuration file and force if something doesn't work. | 06:16 |
| hpuser4466 | OK. I want to force my LCD to bright. | 06:16 |
| hpuser4466 | my Fn+bright buttons are not working. | 06:16 |
| Unit193 | You should be able to do that with a userspace tool. | 06:16 |
| hpuser4466 | i noticed xrandr. xbacklight didn't work. | 06:17 |
| hpuser4466 | Thanks for the tips. I'll try the kernel options first, then X. | 06:19 |
| aoieao | Hello | 07:47 |
| debug_ | Hello, having a problem with live-CD's for the LTE version of Lubuntu (on compaq Evo 600c) and the latest version on Asus EEE1000HD. anyone? | 08:03 |
| debug_ | hmmm | 08:09 |
| geopack | Hi everyone google earth stops on the splash screen, I think it may be related with graphics drivers since glxgears opens a black empty window... | 09:24 |
| geopack | how can I solve this please ? | 09:24 |
| hpuser4466 | Can't get buttons working on IBM thinkpad R40e (volume up/down, Fn+brightness) | 09:59 |
| hpuser4466 | i believe the driver involved is thinkpad_acpi | 10:00 |
| emmjea | I am trying to load lubuntu 12.10 on Sony Vaio Latop, with 40GB HDD, Architecture SiS 648 CPU IntelPentium® 4 processor Processor Speed (Mhz) 2800 L2 Cache (kb) 512 Memory Size (MB) 512 Memory Speed (Mhz) 266 Memory Type DDR - PC2100 (SO-DIMM) have made live CD, have checked it with MD5SUM, all ok, when I boot to this, I go to install lubuntu, select english, then takes 5mins on blue screen, then just goes black, no cursor, error etc | 14:07 |
| emmjea | live CD, get to "where are you" just hangs on this, no error or further activity. Even just selecting "try without installing" results in very slow actions, and if I try to shut down, it also hangs? so do not know what else to try? | 14:09 |
| faflatas | Hello - is there a way of changing the default sound device on the fly ? | 18:14 |
| holstein | faflatas: i usually just install pulse and use pavucontrol | 18:17 |
| holstein | faflatas: you might find running "alsamixer" in the terminal lets you do what you want | 18:18 |
| holstein | !audio | 18:18 |
| 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. | 18:18 |
| faflatas | holstein: alsamixer doesn't control the default device | 18:18 |
| holstein | faflatas: what is it controlling? | 18:18 |
| faflatas | ubottu: Sound works fine with the default device - I am just having trouble with choosing the default device | 18:19 |
| ubottu | faflatas: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:19 |
| holstein | what i had in mind was, you can run "alsamixer" and use F6 to "select sound card" | 18:19 |
| faflatas | holstein: Alsamixer controls sound /microphone volume etc. I've tried it already | 18:19 |
| faflatas | holstein: No. That just let you choose the settings of that sound card | 18:19 |
| faflatas | It does not make it the default | 18:20 |
| holstein | if that is not doing what you want, then that is usually why i just go ahead and install pulse, since advanced routing is one thing pavucontol does | 18:20 |
| faflatas | hmm | 18:20 |
| holstein | faflatas: i asked the bot to give you the audio link so you can browse the wiki's for yourself and see if there is something that fits your needs better | 18:21 |
| faflatas | so pulse is better then alsa right ? | 18:21 |
| holstein | better is a matter of opinion | 18:21 |
| holstein | pavucontrol literally is designed to let you "select devices on the fly" | 18:21 |
| faflatas | hmmm | 18:22 |
| faflatas | so I have to uninstall alsa first | 18:22 |
| faflatas | and install pulse ? | 18:22 |
| holstein | faflatas: pulse runs on alsa | 18:22 |
| holstein | faflatas: i would relax.. do some reading.. fire up a live CD that is running pulse.. see if it works for you.. and make an informed first-hand decision | 18:22 |
| holstein | http://ptspts.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-select-alsa-sound-card-and-have.html | 18:23 |
| faflatas | ok - will do | 18:23 |
| faflatas | thanks ! | 18:23 |
| holstein | if you have an internal device and you want to use a USB device, sometimes you can set that in the specific application preferences | 18:23 |
| holstein | OR, just disable the internal card in the bios | 18:24 |
| holstein | http://alsa.opensrc.org/FAQ026 | 18:24 |
| faflatas | holstein: Just to let you know, I installed pulse, it does exactly what I wanted - thanks!!!!!!!!! | 18:37 |
| holstein | faflatas: cheers!... it does make some things "easier" | 18:37 |
| lxde32 | what it's better ubuntu or lubuntu | 19:47 |
| wxl | lxde32: i don't know. are apples or oranges better? :) | 19:47 |
| lxde32 | i want to say if lubuntu it's faster than ubuntu? | 19:47 |
| wxl | the desktop environment generally requires less resources. | 19:48 |
| Unit193 | It uses a lot less ram, but it's up to you. Best idea is to try both live CDs, and see for yourself. :) | 19:48 |
| wxl | it's more lightweight, at least in design. | 19:48 |
| lxde32 | when can i get a live cd | 19:48 |
| wxl | you can get a live cd any time you want | 19:48 |
| lxde32 | where can i get a live cd? | 19:48 |
| Unit193 | !download | 19:48 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Quantal, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 19:48 |
| lxde32 | thanks | 19:49 |
