Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [00:15] I got a problem with my xubuntu , i installed the 12.04 LTS . I got an nvidia geforce 540m gt . Everything works like a charm but there is no opengl [00:15] Additional drivers says there are none to install [00:16] nvidia xserver settings says im not using nvida x driver [00:16] i then changed the xconf but it just broke by changing my screen resolution to 600x600 or something like that [00:17] the edited xconf was made by nvidia-xconfig command [00:17] so now does sb know any solution ?

[00:28] hi, krytarik [00:28] :-) [00:36] I have no sound in my xubuntu. [00:37] I don't know if it's a hardware issue or software. [00:38] is volume up in the mixer? Does the mixer show any input/output devices? [00:41] It's up. [00:42] I can hear with headphones. [00:47] ALSA-MIXER playback.

[00:54] Any idea, zoredache ? === qwerty is now known as Guest33894 [02:03] fun discovery: if you put in the xubuntu live usb, it gives an option to upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to xubuntu 12.10. I chose that. It erased my quassel logs and who knows what else, as well as failing to reinstall software I had. quite annoyed. Did not choose to overwrite, chose to upgrade, and it ate my data [02:03] and yes I know I *should* have backed up, but....when upgrading, one expects it to leave data in place and not completely wipe the partition [02:05] so >1 year of logs and various things I'm sure I'll discover later are now gone. Luckily the majority of my stuff was on the external hard drive. Apparently it only kept my home folder intact, everything else it wiped. I'm going to suggest that quassel rethink its storage location... [02:07] Where does it have them now? [02:07] /var/lib/quassel/ some sqlite file [02:07] and apparently that gets completely wiped during an upgrade through the liveusb [02:16] ok screw it, it's being weird and I can't even open up the samba configuration, I'm just going to do a full wipe and reinstall >_< not what I had planned for the evening [02:16] any way to remotely monitor the installation? [02:16] so I don't have to sit in the other room while it runs? [02:16] I do the ssh in, screen, and do-release-upgrade, but it appears that's not recommended. :P [02:16] it'll be from liveUSB [02:18] You should technically be able to drop to a TTY, install x11vnc and use that, not done this though. [02:18] hmm...ok [02:18] I'll try it, thanks [02:18] I just learned how to use the x11vnc to remote in before login tonight :) [02:18] I'll be off quassel for a while, because that's my server :s I'll get on webchat if I need to [06:21] I have got the directory /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32/Documentation/. How to obtain Documentation for the 3.2.0 kernel? [06:27] bullgard4, do you have that kernel installed then? [06:33] bullgard4: What are you trying to get exactly? [06:34] !info linux-doc [06:34] linux-doc (source: linux): Linux kernel specific documentation for version 3.5.0. In component main, is optional. Version 3.5.0-25.39 (quantal), package size 8187 kB, installed size 26292 kB [07:15] krytarik: Yes sir. And now please answer my question. [07:16] SuperLag: ok, sometimes the problem is simpler that it seems. I was wrong, sorry. [07:17] bullgard4, if you want to find the documentation under a similar path, you'll obviously have to install that kernel's sources too. [07:19] krytarik: In Xubuntu installation goes via DEB program packages.. What DEB program package do you speak about? [07:23] bullgard4, what Ubuntu version are you using then? [07:24] krytarik: Linux 3.2.0-37-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Jan 24 2013 [07:24] i686 GNU/Linux [07:25] Well, that helps too - it's the package "linux-headers-3.2.0-37-generic" then. [07:27] krytarik: No, it is not that package. It's the the package linux-source-3.2.0 which I found out in the mean time. And this package is installed. Still, there is a wrong Documentation installed. [07:31] Well, then have a look at its filelist here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/i386/linux-headers-3.2.0-37-generic/filelist [07:59] Is there a Xubuntu version of the 13.04 beta available? or do you just have to get the standard version and install xubuntu-desktop?

[10:06] also I want to take off the color behind icons used on xfce desktop, and blue color when I drag to select icons [10:06] maybe somebody can help with these tweaks [10:07] ronalds_m: have you checked in the settings manager for language settings? [10:07] yes [10:08] and what happened? - I only have one language... [10:08] it shows that I'm using english [10:08] but it's my native in xfce menu [10:08] for panel and other things [10:09] ask again in a bit and someone that knows might be able to give an answer [10:38] hey there, I just made the jump to linux xubuntu and I opted for not allowing 3rd party during installation [10:38] how do I now install flashplayer for xubuntu please [10:50] xubuntu248: Install the DEB program package »flashplugin-installer«.

I've got a strange issue when I plug in the headphones, they are detected, show up in audio properties but at the same time disables my mouse. All but right click...strange. But when I unplug the headphones everything is back to normal [11:51] i'll be back...logging out of root [11:52] back [11:54] zeroth_: check dmesg [11:54] if anything strange is happening [12:00] not really sure what I'm looking for. But I'm not exactly a linux expert. I'll google around and find some resources on dmesg output and how to read it [12:17] am I allowed to post dmesg output here for help? [12:21] zeroth_: pastebin it [12:21] zeroth_: see the topic for an address for the ubuntu pastebin [12:27] here is the paste if anyone wants to see if anything jumps out at them. I'm still looking around and getting familiar with the output.. http://pastebin.com/AJdeK5Yc [12:35] Maybe the problem is the device is using uhci_hcd? Just a thought [12:38] probably not... === Sefu is now known as Guest26846 [12:51] alright gents how does this work [12:52] where do the noobs go [12:52] !hi | Guest26846 [12:52] Guest26846: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! [12:52] ok let me check that out first and i'll brb [13:14] why am i getting an edd error when installing xubuntu? [13:14] edd? [13:16] enhanced disk drive [13:17] no idea what that is, sorry [13:30] I shall return, thanks [13:31] KOUKOU [13:32] is it an english channel ? [13:33] this is yes [13:34] what is your language bkos ? [13:34] i'm french but no problem about english [13:34] :) [13:34] in any case for your information [13:35] !fr [13:35] Nous sommes désolés, mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [13:35] :D [13:35] but you are very welcome here [13:36] nice ! could be great to improve my english talkin with you guys :p [13:36] bkos: also, there is #xubuntu-offtopic for the informal chat [13:37] ok thanks, the installation 's done, must reboot, see you [14:26] I'm experiencing a behavior where my xfce4 mailwatch and audio volume plugins get wrong (not reflecting the theme) icons upon restart. Latest xubuntu, does anyone know if there is a way of fixing this petty but annoying bug? [14:30] witiko: have you tried to switch to another theme and then back to your old theme? [14:30] I did, these two icons go unaffected [14:30] When I add another mailwatch it respects the theme until another restart [14:31] witiko: have you tried to clear the .cache directory? [14:31] but back it up please [14:33] baizon: I'll give it a go [14:38] Clearing the .cache folder helped. Thanks! [14:40] witiko_: nice to hear :) [14:40] baizon: It must've been due to the update to 12.10 :) [14:40] indeed [14:41] thats often a solution :) (clearing .cache) [14:46] why can't I 200% volume on xfce? [14:47] because that would break your sound card [14:47] right [14:48] I installed xfce on ubuntu, it's working perfectly, but can't make sound louder [14:48] from mixer [14:49] I could do that in gnome/unity part [14:49] ronalds_m, that depends on each program too [14:50] you can get to 150% overall and 150% for each program [14:51] 153 in fact [14:51] yeah, but how to get those controls from standart ubuntu [14:51] you clic on the speaker icon, go to settings...? [14:52] no right clic, just clic [14:52] ... [14:52] I added gnome applet, just for having it in tray [14:52] why? [14:53] right click + sound preferences brings cut down ubuntu settings [14:53] i dont know what that is [14:53] neither understand why you use a gnome applet on xfce [14:56] installing xfce goodies [14:56] no need for that [14:57] its just there on the plugins indicators [14:57] mixer? [14:57] no... just the plugin indicator, it contains the sound indicator [14:58] dafaq [15:00] where I can see sound for individual applications [15:03] I found pulse audio mixer [15:04] when you open pavucontrol [15:04] it shows you the stream for each running application [15:04] it wont show you streams for non running apps [15:05] you still talking what you have [15:05] what is pavucontrol [15:08] whats interesting is that default terminal is terminator [15:08] ronalds_m, http://i.imgur.com/SbKE33w.png?1 [15:08] I don't have plugin indicator [15:08] I'm using xfce session not xubuntu [15:08] what [15:08] why not? [15:09] I have notification area [15:09] if you dont have that you dont have xubuntu pretty much [15:09] I have ubuntu + xfce [15:09] weeeeeeell then you dont have xubuntu ronalds_m [15:09] thats not how it works [15:09] I have xubuntu on my second pc [15:09] that counts? :D [15:10] ronalds_m, there you would have the plugin indicator then [15:10] ronalds_m, do sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and then login using a xubuntu session [15:10] then we will continue to help you, else, it makes no sense [15:10] ok sorry [15:11] I like plain xfce [15:11] I'm using win 2000 type and some xfce smooth theme [15:12] ronalds_m, you can do that on xubuntu [15:12] I'm happy right now [15:12] there is no difference on those points [15:12] right [15:12] well then make a launcher for pavucontrol or something [15:12] i cant help you more sorry [15:12] I made a louncher [15:13] for pulse audio [15:13] mixer [15:13] i dont know if thats the same as pavucontrol, but it might? no idea [15:14] it's interesting how apps lounch instantly on xfce, rather than waiting in unity or kde [15:14] maybe [15:15] ronalds_m, alt-f2 and type pavucontrol [15:15] see if its the same [15:15] yes [15:15] you were right about name [15:16] then there you have a tab named output devices, there you can up to 150% [15:16] I have question about icon moving on desktop [15:16] then each running app will have a stream on the first tab when running [15:16] yes? [15:17] can I make all icons move and stay the same position [15:17] similary to nautilus [15:17] no idea [15:45] Good morning -- Trying to figure out how to mount a smb (or afp) share in xubuntu. I can access it with gigolo, but I don't know how to make it show up in the file manager (like in the mnt folder).. been googling around / trying things to no avail [15:46] its gvfs-backends installed LJSeinfeld [15:46] ? [15:46] yes [15:47] it should just be there then [15:47] I'm not sure to test / check if it's running.. but I did install it in my attempt to figure this out on my own last night [15:47] in /mnt ? [15:48] http://i.imgur.com/iV5kzOi.png [15:50] LJSeinfeld, ^ as show there it should just be smb:/// [15:50] i just right-clicked and clicked "open" and it opened and showed me the path [15:50] holstein, ? [15:51] in gigolo.. i mounted something, and right clicked on it, and the filemanger opened it, showing the path [15:51] let me see here… [15:51] oh right [15:52] in my case the "Red" icon appears there, and i've never even configured a thing [15:53] GridCube -- so in your example, what would be the path to that drive? [15:54] LJSeinfeld: can you right click on the share? in gigolo? and click "open".. do you then see the share open a file manger? [15:54] smb:///WORKGROUP/SharedDirectory [15:54] ? maybe? [15:55] yep -- but I'm trying to have the drive appear as local to the file manager [15:55] aaaaaaa [15:55] thats different [15:55] thats a whole lot different [15:55] im betting.. [15:56] LJSeinfeld: mount it where you like [15:56] I've been trying for hours.. can't seem to get it to work [15:56] !mount [15:56] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [15:56] ^ i would just follow that, and mount it where i want [15:57] or, just use what gigolo is setting up.. or something more permanent [15:57] I would like it to happen at boot, forever [15:58] LJSeinfeld: i would not use gigolo then.. [15:58] maybe just samba... [15:58] I'm pretty new to linux, more so to xubuntu…. so I could use a little help if you guys don't mind [15:59] LJSeinfeld, add it to fstab [15:59] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [15:59] http://askubuntu.com/questions/157128/proper-fstab-entry-to-mount-a-samba-share-on-boot [16:00] LJSeinfeld: the only suggestion i would have is to just wait.. just use gigolo, and wait til you are more comfortable.. think about how long you used windows before you auto mounted any shares at startup [16:01] I have no problem with gigolo - but I need the drive to show up as local to the file system… [16:01] LJSeinfeld: it *is*.. its in the mountpoint that gigolo is putting it [16:02] hmm… well, I can't find it… [16:02] I've looked for a hidden .gvfs folder per various google searches… nothing [16:02] holstein, its a smb:/// conection, not a mounted folder [16:03] LJSeinfeld: you can also mount manually.. or use one of the links above.. i personally dont use windows, and i havent setup samba in a while.. but anything is possible [16:03] GridCube: you can mount that though, correct? [16:03] no [16:03] not without smbfs [16:03] http://askubuntu.com/questions/84494/whats-the-easiest-way-to-mount-windows-share-as-a-local-folder-in-home-director [16:04] LJSeinfeld: smbfs is an option, correct? [16:05] won't install via apt -- says I should use cifs-utils (which I have installed) instead [16:05] LJSeinfeld, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cifs-utils/+bug/1095294 [16:05] Launchpad bug 1095294 in cifs-utils (Ubuntu) "Package smbfs and smbmount missing since cifs-utils-5.5" [Undecided,Confirmed] [16:05] see comment 3 [16:06] this is basically what i've been trying… can't seem to get it to work [16:06] let me try again [16:08] OK, so I created folder MediaRAID in /mnt [16:08] and ran sudo mount -t cifs //plex/mediaraid /mnt/MediaRAID [16:08] and got "error 22 invalid argument" [16:08] porque mount? [16:09] i mean, why mount? [16:09] wouldnt it just be sudo cifs //blah/blah/blha /bleh/bleh? [16:09] i have no idea of this though [16:09] I don't know… I'm trying to follow the example given [16:10] I do need it to show up at a mount point so it's local to the file system [16:10] yeah, and i have no easy way of testing it with an actual windows install present, or i would [16:10] basically, I have a box that is on my LAN that needs to do work on a network share. The programs need a path to the shared folder, so it needs to appear local [16:11] locally [16:11] wait [16:11] try the ip, not just plex [16:12] same error -- but the share does need a username and password [16:12] let me try the other example and see what I get [16:12] i would have an open share, so you arent troubleshooting multiple issues at once [16:13] not sure how to do that on OS X [16:13] (which is where the drive lives) [16:13] osx can do ssh as well, if that is easier [16:14] and have it show up as local mount? [16:14] LJSeinfeld, make an fstab entry like this: [16:14] /servername/sharename /media/windowsshare cifs username=msusername,password=mspassword 0 0 [16:14] and try to mount it by sudo mount /media/windowsshare [16:15] there is an extra / at the begining of that line [16:15] ok .. fstab is in /etc/fstab ? [16:15] http://askubuntu.com/questions/43363/how-to-auto-mount-using-sshfs [16:15] yes [16:16] so just put a line in like: [16:17] weird… that got blanked out… [16:17] yes, you put a / at the begining [16:17] thats an irc command [16:18] ahh.. right [16:18] add a few spaces at the beginig and type again [16:18] or 3 / [16:18] // [16:19] so //plex/mediaraid /mnt/MediaRAID cifs username=plex,password=mypassword 0 0 [16:19] sure [16:19] 2 spaces between //plex/mediaraid and /mnt……. [16:19] in theory, if cifs its installed, that should, maybe work [16:20] spaces are irrelevant, you can use tab or spaces, just no linebreaks [16:20] single spaces are ok too then? [16:20] for all that i know, yes [16:20] i like to use tabs [16:20] ok.. [16:21] I can just append to the end of my fstab [16:21] ? [16:21] i do.. just back it up, and know how to restore using a live CD [16:21] add a new line, put that in, hit enter to add an empty line [16:22] P: well, yes, what holstein said makes sense [16:22] Ok it's in there --- now what? [16:23] now save the file [16:23] did, ran sudo mount /mnt/MediaRAID… got error 22… [16:23] oh boy [16:24] lol… mounted network volumes automagically show up in os x under /Volumes/Blah [16:24] just sayin' :D [16:24] pulling my hair out … [16:25] mount error(22): Invalid argument [16:25] Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) [16:25] ok its a kernel bug [16:25] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=832741 [16:26] bugzilla.redhat.com bug 832741 in kernel "Always get CIFS error "mount error(22): Invalid argument" with kernel 3.4+" [Unspecified,Closed: errata] [16:26] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/995535 [16:26] Launchpad bug 995535 in util-linux (Ubuntu) ".smbcredentials not working" [Medium,Confirmed] [16:28] you need a newer kernel [16:28] or an older cifs [16:28] how do I pull that off… [16:28] just was going to ask how to downgrade cifs [16:29] no idea [16:29] maybe just search cifs in synaptic and step it down.. or try the ssh share [16:29] or try a newer kernel [16:30] (in my opinion your best aproach) [16:30] GridCube: you think mainline? [16:30] !mainline [16:30] The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [16:30] that should do, its in the recommended solutions on lp [16:30] i remember running a mainline kernel for a while, to test something [16:30] even thought that might break other things [16:31] yeah... again, knowing how to boot the current kernel, and recover.. keep the kernel that you have LJSeinfeld [16:32] I'm gonna need a little newb-level help with this [16:32] maybe easier to downgrade cifs? [16:32] at least no chance of not booting then? [16:33] yeah, the problem is, dependecies are a weird topic, if you downgrade something, it might need downgraded deps, that might mean that other apps would fail and so on [16:34] same for moving kernel in another direction, no? [16:34] i would try it... as long as you have a decent idea how to recover.. or just do ssh [16:34] P: but if its ppaed, you can ppa-purge [16:34] http://askubuntu.com/questions/43363/how-to-auto-mount-using-sshfs seems too easy [16:34] !info ppa-purge [16:34] ppa-purge (source: ppa-purge): disables a PPA and reverts to official packages.

[17:26] indeed I have [17:26] and it works fine with headphones [17:26] then it's probably a driver issue. [17:29] where would I get a realtek linux driver then?

[17:32] on notebooks the cable that sends sound to the speakers can sometimes move or cut [17:33] nope not tried any other OS [17:33] going to take a spare laptop speaker and rip this one apart and see if the other has the same issue [17:36] thats under your own responsability [17:37] oh trust me its not the first time I have ripped this thing apart ;) === xGrind-AFK is now known as xGrind [18:35] does anyone know why there is no gnome-screensaver-settings package available ? i just installed gnome-screensaver but can't find a proper settings package so that i can alter any available settings accordings with my needs === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [18:38] nor does gnome-screensaver-preferences [18:41] misterjinx: http://askubuntu.com/questions/59577/replace-xscreensaver-with-gnome-screensaver-xubuntu [18:43] baizon: thanks, but that was the first place to searh for an answer to my question [18:43] i added manually that file, but without gnome-screensaver-preferences it's useless [18:43] there are no gnome-screensaver-preferences package [18:43] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gnome-screensaver&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all [18:44] i've seen that :( [18:44] if it does not exist how one should be able to alter the settings ? [18:45] misterjinx: your answer... http://askubuntu.com/questions/204667/making-gnome-screensaver-auto-lock-in-xfce [18:45] misterjinx: because gnome-screensaver is combined with the gnome 3 power management [18:46] ok, i see. thanks :) [18:46] np [22:17] hi there [23:18] Hello, I wonder where I would make a small donation to Xubuntu?
