pedorhi, I'm thinking to move to xubuntu and I have some questions: is it possible to install nvidia drivers?00:27
David-Apedor: yes00:27
David-Apedor: the normal way to install proprietary drivers, if you don't want the open source drivers, is to use the "additional drivers" tool.00:28
pedorDavid-A: so, it's the same as others *buntus. and qt applications?00:29
David-Apedor: exactly the same. the difference is what desktop is initially installed (xfce) and some of the default programs.00:30
jpmhhow do I change the image that shows while the system is on its way up00:30
knobydobsHello, I have a perixx gaming mouse which is basically 2 HID keyboards and an HID raw input, unfortunately, none of these inputs are recognized by going to the device file in /Dev/inputs and using sudo cat. I have already edited HID.d in an attempt to let the mouse be recognized but to no avail00:31
pedorDavid-A: just looking to xfce roadmap, they skipped 4.11?00:31
pedorDavid-A: is there a irc installed by default? if it doesn't what is the best option?00:32

Cheri703knobydobs: what is the relevant result of "xinput list"02:13
Cheri703?02:13
knobydobsI'll take a look ^_^02:14
Cheri703disclaimer: I'm coming at this as someone who had to do a fair bit of work to get mouse working, so I'm not familiar with your mouse, but I'll help as much as I can. I have no experience on the topic beyond my own journey to get mine working :)02:15
Cheri703(also: evoluent vertical mouse is awesome, if labor intensive to set up)02:16
knobydobsAny help is appreciated ^_^02:16
knobydobsEvoluent?02:17
Cheri703http://www.evoluent.com/02:17
Cheri703awww, they have a bluetooth one now. I wanted a bt mouse when I was ordering. probably good that I didn't get it though, because I have issues getting more than one bt device to connect at a time. probably my adapter though02:18
Cheri703the bt is new :) though the regular one does work with mac, probably just not as fancy mapping though.02:19
knobydobsIn that list, I have HID 04f3:010302:23
knobydobsWhich is the mouse02:23
Cheri703ok, when you mentioned that it is actually multiple devices, is that saying it SHOULD be recognized as multiple or it behaves like multiple?02:23
knobydobsBehaves like multiple02:24
Cheri703ok, so the next step02:24
knobydobsUhuh02:24
Cheri703did it give a name or just HID whatever?02:24
knobydobsJust that and a list of slaves02:25
Cheri703hmm...ok02:25
knobydobsIn that list of slaves is the Holtek USB Gaming Mouse02:26
Cheri703so the method I used asks for the name, because mine identified as "Evoluent VerticalMouse 4"02:26
Cheri703perfect02:26
Cheri703ok02:26
Cheri703so try this: xinput query-state "Holtek USB Gaming Mouse"02:26
Cheri703it will tell you what buttons are being pressed down02:26
Cheri703like a number02:26
Cheri703so if 1 is left click, if you hold left click and run that command, it should return 102:27
Cheri703and you can map it02:27
Cheri703write it down as you map it02:28
Cheri703(if that works)02:28
knobydobsOk ^^02:28
knobydobsNo changes - I get a list of 247 keys all saying up, no matter what button I click...02:30
Cheri703are you holding it down when you run the command?02:30
Cheri703like hold left button and then press enter02:30
Cheri703you will have to do this with EVERY BUTTON02:31
Cheri703if you want to map it02:31
Cheri703might check if mapping exists somewhere online?02:32
Cheri703(also 247 keys ?!?!)02:33
knobydobs It's only an 11 button mouse02:33
Cheri703ah, multiple combinations then?02:33
Cheri703like 1&3 = 3702:34
knobydobsAnd I'm doing exactly what you said and no results :(02:34
Cheri703so when I run the command (because I'm testing this at the same time) I press and hold the left mouse button, hit enter, then release it and it shows "1=down" if I do the right button and do the same thing, it'll show 2=down02:35
Cheri703it isn't doing that for yours?02:35
Cheri703do you have another mouse plugged in? could it be reading the wrong one?02:35
knobydobsIt's not reading the wrong one, I definitely have the right mouse, there's just no input being recognized at all...02:38
Cheri703if you click on things it works?02:38
knobydobsNo, I can't even move the cursor02:41
Cheri703ahhh, ok02:43
Cheri703uhm...I have no idea >_<02:43
Cheri703have you tried rebooting with it plugged in and see if it moves or anything?02:43
knobydobsUhuh - nothing - I'm adding sharkoon support now to see if that helps ^^02:47
Cheri703I have no idea what that is, but...good luck?02:47
Cheri703is it wireless or wired?02:48
knobydobsA recompiled kernel to add support for some gaming mice02:48
knobydobsWired02:48
Cheri703one person (different mouse) said that it was behaving similarly and if they suspend and unsuspend, then it works O_o02:49
knobydobsI'll give that a go in a second ^^02:50
knobydobsNow I gotta compile a kernel on 3 cores :/02:54

xubuntu181Hi14:35
xubuntu181How are you all?14:35
xubuntu181I am trying to install Xubuntu LTSP Quantal Alternate14:35
xubuntu181and facing firmware issue14:36
xubuntu181iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode14:36
xubuntu181I have downloaded the same and provided through USB in FAT format14:36
xubuntu181Can some one help why I could not pass this hard stop error14:37
holsteinxubuntu181: i usually try the live iso's and see what issues im going to have hardware-wise.. i would just install the OS and see if there is support for your device14:37
holstein!wifi14:37
ubottuWireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs14:37
xubuntu181If I bypass this firmware issue, I could not install xubunutu successfully14:40
xubuntu181I am getting the error at "Select and Install Software"14:41
holsteinxubuntu181: that sounds like a bad iso14:41
holstein!md514:41
ubottuTo verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows14:41
holsteinxubuntu181: what would i do? load up a live CD and try and find support for my hardware before installing (if possible.. its not always possible from the live CD)14:42
holsteini would run "lspci" and search "ubuntu hardware ID" and see if there are bugs or known issues, or just a lack of support from the vendor14:43
holsteinxubuntu181: i need to run, but i dont think you have issues that are relating to one another14:45
holsteinxubuntu181: you should be able to bypass the wifi firmware during the install.. i would check the integrity of the download and disc and go from there.. maybe make a live CD so you can see it boot14:45
gearaholicwould xubuntu be a good os for a grandparents pc (currently running winXP) I run ubuntu on my linux pc, but his pc is kinda old 2008 and wasnt great to begin with14:49
gearaholicall he needs is a web browser14:49
baizongearaholic: you can try xubuntu or lubuntu14:53
baizonthen choose :)14:53
xubuntu181I have made a live cd14:53
baizonLubuntu is more windows xp -like, xubuntu is more gnome3-like14:53
baizonxubuntu181: yes, and try both14:53
gearaholicok, just donwloaded xubuntu will try out lubuntu14:54
baizonxubuntu181: ups sorry, didnt ment you14:54
xubuntu181But the install is still failing at firmware14:54
gearaholic12.10 a safe bet?14:54
gearaholicof lts14:54
gearaholicor^14:55
xubuntu181I have tried both Qunatal Alternate as well as 12.04.214:55
xubuntu181firmware problem still persists14:55
xubuntu181I am new to Linux14:56
xubuntu181Can you guide me how to get Xubuntu Loaded with LTSP14:56
xubuntu181Thanks for your inputs. I will join some time later. Thanks.15:00

ubottuMalsasa_: apt-offline (source: apt-offline): offline APT package manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2 (quantal), package size 78 kB, installed size 404 kB16:47
Malsasa_GridCube: thank you, but can you mention yes/no: is it can copy exactly complete 1 application from my cache? I have complete cache for (say) 8 application but all dependencies are mixed in one cache folder. Thank you.16:53
GridCubeMalsasa_, no idea, sorry :(16:54
Malsasa_GridCube: thank you16:54
GridCubeMalsasa_, what do you need to do?16:55
Malsasa_GridCube: I wanna help my friends in Indonesia. I wanna copy one application only that I have downloaded from internet into my computer. In Indonesia, internet is very expensive so downloading is a problem.17:00
Malsasa_GridCube: thank you so much for attentions.17:00
xubuntu234TheSheep, I was the one earlier who couldn't get an internet connection. I reinstalled and it's working great now17:01

ubottuIf you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD17:03
GridCubeMalsasa_, ^ see that17:03
Malsasa_GridCube: yes I know Synaptic script, I have used. But it is not answer my problem. I know also Keryx and Aptoncd.17:03
Malsasa_GridCube: thank you. But what I want, is using my cache, my downloaded one, move them into another computers, and sudo dpkg -i *.deb17:04
GridCubemmm sorry then, i don't know what else you can do, you could get all the debs from http://packages.ubuntu.com/17:04
Malsasa_:D17:04
Malsasa_GridCube: yes, I know that also. But that is not solve my problem. I have downloaded necessary packages. The problem, I dont know how to distinguish them between so many deb in cache :)17:05
Malsasa_GridCube: thank you s much for helping me. Your effort is valuable.17:06
GridCubeMalsasa_, that cache folder you talk about, has .debs that are not for the apps you need?17:07
GridCubeif so what happens if you do an apt-get autoclean and apt-get autoremove?17:07
GridCubewouldnt then the cache get cleaned and only the ones for your apps be there?17:07
GridCube(probably after you download them again)17:08
Malsasa_GridCube: my cache contains all deb applications i have installed, complete with dependencies. But I need to move only one application, not all.17:08
GridCubeah, ok17:08
Malsasa_GridCube: if i do autoclean/autoremove, all debs will gone.17:08
Malsasa_GridCube: it is interesting you can be so patient in helping newbie like me17:09
Malsasa_:)17:09
GridCube:D im a librarian, its what we do17:09
Malsasa_GridCube: librarian? Librarian in meaning you create software library?17:09
GridCubeMalsasa_, what if you get a list of dependecies using apt-cache rdepends17:10
GridCubeMalsasa_, no, a librarian like someone who helps people to find the information they need regardless of the medium used to store it :)17:10
GridCubelike, in the era previous to the internet where mostly books :P17:11
Malsasa_GridCube: thank you, but I have used that. It cannot do dependency tarcking in cacahe, in other words, it cannot make list if a the app is installed on system. So, I stop using that :)17:11
Malsasa_GridCube: oh, librarian like that? Okay.17:11
GridCube:)17:11
Malsasa_:)17:11
GridCubeMalsasa_, but you just need the depends of your 8 apps?17:11
Malsasa_*tracking i mean17:11
Malsasa_GridCube: yes, yes. You are right.17:12
Malsasa_GridCube: 8 is only an example. The most important thing is: how to track 1 only application dependencies completely from cache. Thats it :)17:12
GridCubewell, maybe apt-cache showpkg17:13
Malsasa_GridCube: yup, showpkg i have try. But it shows me crowded information. Not a list.17:15
Malsasa_GridCube: ah, this is my complete question:      http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=212360217:15
GridCubeit is a lit17:16
GridCubelist17:16
Malsasa_GridCube: yes, horizontal. But I wanna list tidily in point per point.17:17
GridCubebrake it17:17
GridCubeMalsasa_, use some find magic17:17
Malsasa_GridCube: if can, i wanna simply command to download from my cache. Just download from my cache into another folder :) So, i can use usb stick into another computers :)17:18
Malsasa_GridCube: if you can help me in this, you can help so many users in Indonesia :) But thank you so much until this ;)17:18
GridCubeMalsasa_, if apt-cache showpkg shows you the deps, and it can be used to search for a file, say it says it depends on libpng12, you search for libpng12 and copy that deb17:21
GridCubeif there is no deb, then no copy is needed17:21
Malsasa_GridCube: yes, absolutely. I think also like that.17:21
GridCubeits not so complex then17:21
GridCubei dont know the find magic, but its not that complex17:21
GridCubeif you can make a list of dependencies then you can do the find string17:22
GridCubeplease ask on #bash, they really know how to use it17:22
Malsasa_GridCube: but apt is advanced. Is there a command way to just simply apt to copy? It should apt that do copying, not manually by me. But it is not possible, nah, it is my time to check and copy one by one :)17:22
Malsasa_GridCube: yup, you are right in scripting :) I think also like that :D17:23
Malsasa_GridCube: okay, I will go there.17:23
Malsasa_GridCube: but in conclusion, apt cannot simply download from my local cache into my specified folder?17:24
=== bazhang_ is now known as bazhang
GridCubei don't know about that, you might need to use a tool like apt-offline for that17:24
GridCubesomething that takes all the debs and place them in one simple place17:25
Malsasa_GridCube: apt-offline is still need internet, right? I really avoid that for saving my money :) But thank you.17:26
GridCubeMalsasa_, well, i would think that it uses internet to download the files first, but once you have the packages it shouldnt need it anymore17:27
Malsasa_GridCube: yes, same like what i thought.17:28
Malsasa_GridCube: it is advanced, truly.17:28
GridCube:) its what you needed to use in the first place :P17:29
Malsasa_GridCube: but if i have download all, apt should can do simple copying for me from cache. Okay, thank you.17:29

n-iCebottom bar23:02
ochosin-iCe: you mean the xfce-panel?23:02
ochosiAknot: depending on what version of xubuntu you're using, you might have to open the settings-editor (app-menu > settings > settings-manager > settings editor) and go to xfce4-mixer23:03
n-iCedunno the osx look like bar23:03
ochosiAknot: then change both "active-card" and "sound-card" to this: "PlaybackInternalAudioAnalogStereoPulseAudioMixer"23:03
