| nuub | hello. am i correct that this is the channel for xubuntu support? It's a fresh guest install in virtual box if that matters as far as the correct channel for my question? | 01:20 |
| holstein | nuub: ask and we'll see if a volunteer can help | 01:21 |
| nuub | cool. so, i've installed xubuntu 12.04 lts guest in virtualbox on a ubuntu 12.04lts host. i am able to update through update manager and sudo apt-get. Ran sudo apt-get upgrade. installed dkms as recommended on vbox website. finally installed vbox guest additions and when I try to run firefox it can't connect to the internet even though host os can browse and everything normally through normal connection and vpn so my question is why n | 01:29 |
| nuub | works? | 01:29 |
| nuub | works? | 01:29 |
| nuub | wired connection also. | 01:30 |
| knome | nuub, in network manager, edit the wired connection: | 01:33 |
| knome | nuub, make the connection type dhcp (addresses only) and in search domains, type "7.7.7.7, 8.8.8.8" | 01:33 |
| knome | and try reconnecting to that network | 01:33 |
| Unit193 | Might want DNS server, not search domain. | 01:35 |
| nuub | ok i'll try | 01:36 |
| knome | right, that | 01:36 |
| nuub | type both just seperate with comma? | 01:36 |
| * knome didn't check the facts :) | 01:36 | |
| knome | nuub, yup | 01:36 |
| nuub | lol | 01:36 |
| nuub | brb | 01:36 |
| nuub | worked! perfect, thx knome and unit193 very appreciated | 01:38 |
| shape | I have been trying to slove this problem all day. I installed nvidia drivers from a different ppa (x-swat) and with a kernel update the system wouldn't load the load screen. I have purged all nvidia, deleted xorg.conf, reinstalled nouveau and xserver-xorg and then I tried to reinstall nvidia-current and it does the same thing. Doesn't load the login screen (something about etc/default/saned) | 05:37 |
| shape | if someone could help me out would be much appreciated because I don't know what to do anymore and I really don't want to noob it out and not learn anything by reinstalling | 05:37 |
| XATRIX | Hi guys, i have no sound on my Aspire One netbook. " Audio device: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)" = Intel HD audio | 07:42 |
| XATRIX | If i open alsamixer in console i see controls and the sound device is detectable, but my pulseaudio seem like doesn't want to detect it | 07:42 |
| XATRIX | while i play sound - there's no sound at all | 07:42 |
| XATRIX | All i have in volume control applet, is Dummy Output | 07:43 |
| laite | XATRIX: is pulseaudio started? you could try 'pulseaudio --start' in terminal | 07:54 |
| XATRIX | Yeap , it's running | 07:54 |
| laite | hm | 07:54 |

| maob | hi, I have no audio output in ubuntu 12.10 minimal xfce DE. With packard bell easynote v7900 | 14:44 |
| maob | on pavucontrol I have output dummy I don't know what to do | 14:46 |
| len-1304 | That means pulseaudio (and probably ALSA) have not seen your audio interface | 14:47 |
| len-1304 | maob, Is ALSA installed? | 14:48 |
| maob | I think so but how can I check it? | 14:49 |
| len-1304 | When you say ubuntu with minimal xfce, how did you install? | 14:50 |
| len-1304 | Is this from the minimal ISO? | 14:50 |
| maob | yexs | 14:50 |
| maob | yes | 14:50 |
| len-1304 | OK | 14:50 |
| len-1304 | sudo apt-get install alsa-base | 14:51 |
| len-1304 | Just to make sure | 14:51 |
| maob | yes there is | 14:52 |
| len-1304 | Have you rebooted since installing? | 14:52 |
| len-1304 | For internal devices the modules are loaded at boot time | 14:53 |
| maob | sure | 14:53 |
| len-1304 | aplay -l | 14:54 |
| len-1304 | That should list what alsa sees | 14:54 |
| maob | fine | 14:54 |
| maob | no audio device | 14:54 |
| maob | sorry no audio device find | 14:54 |
| len-1304 | lsmod | 14:55 |
| len-1304 | does that show any snd_ modules? | 14:56 |
| maob | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5652485/ | 14:57 |
| len-1304 | That looks like a pretty standard list of modules. | 14:59 |
| maob | len-1304, what can I do? | 15:03 |
| len-1304 | I'm not sure :) I wold at least try rebooting, but if you have done that more than once... | 15:04 |
| len-1304 | does alsamixer run? | 15:04 |
| maob | no | 15:04 |
| maob | it doesn't run | 15:05 |
| len-1304 | sudo apt-get install alsa-utils | 15:05 |
| maob | already installed | 15:06 |
| maob | to run alsamixer? | 15:06 |
| len-1304 | Ya I guess if you had aplay. | 15:06 |
| len-1304 | That is the package alsamixer comes from | 15:07 |
| len-1304 | does the terminal tell you why alsamixer doesn't run? | 15:07 |
| maob | it says file or directory doesn't exist | 15:09 |
| len-1304 | It looks like the package is not properly installed then | 15:10 |
| maob | oh | 15:11 |
| len-1304 | sudo apt-get --reinstall install alsa-base alsa-utils | 15:13 |
| len-1304 | Look for errors while installing. | 15:13 |
| maob | ok reboot | 15:14 |
| genii-around | Might want to do something like sudo apt-get -f install first | 15:15 |
| len-1304 | genii-around, Thanks | 15:16 |
| len-1304 | I have installed sound from a mini.iso before without problems, so I am not sure what happened | 15:17 |
| maob | again alsamixer doesn't run | 15:20 |
| len-1304 | is it missing curses? | 15:20 |
| len-1304 | (what files is missing?) | 15:21 |
| maob | I don't know | 15:21 |
| maob | :( | 15:21 |
| Pici | What happens instead? Do you get an error? | 15:21 |
| maob | no | 15:22 |
| len-1304 | try which alsamixer | 15:22 |
| maob | maybe I'll do it again and I'll paste you the result | 15:23 |
| len-1304 | ( should give /usr/bin/alsamixer) | 15:23 |
| maob | ? | 15:23 |
| len-1304 | type: which alsamixer | 15:23 |
| maob | yes | 15:24 |
| len-1304 | No output? | 15:24 |
| maob | (/usr/bin/alsamixer | 15:25 |
| len-1304 | so alsa-mixer is there, the missing file is something it is looking for | 15:26 |
| maob | ok | 15:27 |
| len-1304 | ls /dev/snd/ | 15:27 |
| maob | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5652560/ | 15:29 |
| len-1304 | Is libasound2 installed? | 15:31 |
| len-1304 | sudo apt-get install libasound2 | 15:32 |
| xubuntu149 | hi don't know if this is the right forum, have a question - does steam work on xubuntu? | 15:32 |
| len-1304 | maob, is linux-sound-base installed? | 15:34 |
| len-1304 | maob, linux-sound-base should be installed as alsa-base requires it. | 15:37 |
| maob | len-1304 both already installed | 15:40 |
| len-1304 | Ya, they are both depends of stuff you already have | 15:40 |
| len-1304 | play -l still shows no devices? I am not sure where to go from here. This is not xfce related though, but general ubuntu | 15:41 |
| len-1304 | You may find more people in the #ubuntu channel | 15:42 |
| len-1304 | audio shold work with no DE at all. I have installed audio on headless systems. | 15:43 |
| maob | ok | 15:43 |
| maob | thank you anyway | 15:44 |
| len-1304 | there is also an #alsa channel | 15:45 |

| ironi | hi all, trying to install xubuntu 12.10 onan old laptop, have trouble with the desktop loading with a black screen | 16:53 |
| ironi | ie there is some blu eon top and bottom | 16:53 |
| ironi | but I cant do much, except switch toa terminal with alt-f1 etc | 16:53 |
| ironi | any tips? | 16:54 |
| bazhang | try nomodeset | 16:58 |
| bazhang | !nomodeset | 16:58 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 16:58 |
| ironi | thanks a lot | 16:59 |
| ironi | didn't help, unfortunately... | 17:06 |
| bazhang | what video card ironi | 17:06 |
| ironi | Most of the screen is black, thesre is some blue on the top and bottom (the black area is widescreen format, basically) and there is blue on top and bottom | 17:07 |
| xubuntu625 | hi I am looking for some info on Xubuntu os | 17:08 |
| bazhang | lspci in a terminal will show it | 17:08 |
| xubuntu625 | I have a compaq cq-62 laptop and am looking for linux os that is compatible any ideas? | 17:09 |
| n-iCe | xubntu | 17:09 |
| n-iCe | xubuntu | 17:09 |
| ironi | bazhang: ATI Radeon® Xpress 200M (Acer TravelMate 2450) | 17:10 |
| bazhang | that seems to be quite an old card | 17:10 |
| bazhang | which driver do you have installed for it | 17:10 |
| ironi | bazhang: I am just trying to run the 12.10 live cd, to install xubuntu | 17:11 |
| bazhang | could be the iso is corrupt then. try to md5 the iso | 17:11 |
| bazhang | !md5 | 17:12 |
| ubottu | To 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_Windows | 17:12 |
| ironi | bazhang: can I run the "check disc for defects" on the cd? | 17:13 |
| bazhang | sure ironi . I'd do that subsequent to md5 the iso though | 17:14 |
| xubuntu625 | if I put the xubuntu os on a dvd and then run w/out install that should be minimal intrusion?? | 17:15 |
| len-1304 | Just boot and reboot | 17:15 |
| len-1304 | It doesn't touch the hard drive | 17:15 |
| len-1304 | (doesn't write to unless you manually mount it) | 17:16 |
| xubuntu625 | ok that sounds pretty good | 17:16 |
| ironi | bazhang: doesn't match :/ | 17:16 |
| bazhang | ironi, that would be the issue then | 17:17 |
| len-1304 | ironi, I would use zsync to correct it if you are downloading with linux | 17:17 |
| len-1304 | (I don't know if there is a windows tool for that) | 17:17 |
| ironi | len-1304: im running mac actually | 17:17 |
| len-1304 | ironi, I have run linux for so long I have pretty much no experience with anything else. | 17:18 |
| ironi | should be able to install zsync, lets see | 17:18 |
| ironi | ok, got zsync | 17:18 |
| ironi | len-1304: how do I correct it? | 17:19 |
| xubuntu625 | thanks for the info and I hope to be seeing you again if all goes well :) | 17:19 |
| len-1304 | Just point zsync at the image.zsync file in the download directory | 17:19 |
| ironi | but I have no .zsync file? | 17:19 |
| ironi | just an iso file | 17:19 |
| len-1304 | ok you have 12.10 so... | 17:20 |
| len-1304 | let me check. | 17:20 |
| ironi | len-1304: I could download it again I suppose | 17:20 |
| ironi | len-1304: oh now I see, there is one to download on the server | 17:21 |
| len-1304 | It is much quicker to just download the *.zsync file. | 17:21 |
| ironi | got it, running it now | 17:21 |
| len-1304 | zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/quantal/release/xubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso.zsync | 17:23 |
| len-1304 | in the same dir as your iso. (or use the 64bit one) | 17:23 |
| len-1304 | Oh looks like you got it. | 17:23 |
| Unit193 | zsync -i oldfile.iso link-to-new.iso if you want to "continue" from something with a different name. | 17:25 |
| === bipolar_ is now known as bipolar | ||
| ironi | len-1304: yep, and the md5 on my iso file is now correct, will try to burn it again | 17:27 |
| ironi | or actually put it on an usb drive :) | 17:28 |

| nothere_ | hi all | 19:52 |
| nothere_ | I just have switched from kde to xfce without fresh install. Every thing is fine except that some settings are reset when a session is loaded at loging | 19:54 |
| GridCube | nothere_, what is your question | 19:54 |
| nothere_ | amongst others the mouse is allways set to right handed eventhough i have an xinput directive in ~/.xsessionrc swapping the settings similar with the key bindings they are reset again | 19:55 |
| GridCube | nothere_, setting it to left handed on the mouse settings doesnt work? | 19:55 |
| nothere_ | my questions is now which files either in /etc /var or elsewhere i do have to check if there is some likely residual or default setting which forces mouse and others to be reset | 19:55 |
| GridCube | !purexfce | 19:56 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 19:56 |
| GridCube | nothere_, maybe you will get some hints there ^^^ | 19:56 |
| nothere_ | it works, but i do have to set it after every login anew and for this i have to select lefthanded, righthanded and again lefthanded on the mouse settings dialog before it is switched to lefthanded. | 19:58 |
| nothere_ | I'll check the link | 19:58 |
| === march_notebook is now known as march | ||
| xubuntu400 | good evening | 20:40 |
| === G4MBY is now known as PaulW2U | ||
| nothere_ | @GridCube @ubottu didn't help at least as i allready have installed xubuntu-desktop id did not do the full effect. apt-get install --reinstall xubutu-desktop did not do much | 20:45 |
| nothere_ | I still do have to flip the mous on every login and .xsessionrc is overridden by some program or other settings mechanism when session is loaded. | 20:47 |
| GridCube | nothere_, first, ubottu its a bot :P, second the idea was most about removing unwanted packages, in any case, why dont you try making a new user, in order to do this tests of permanency of your settings, if they continue to fail then | 20:48 |
| nothere_ | ah hm didn't think of that | 20:49 |
| GridCube | nothere_, thats weird, maybe you need to set up a xorg.conf file? stating how you want the mouse to behave? | 20:49 |
| nothere_ | I do have a xorg.conf file and there it says that the pointers are now handled by hal and not to be configured anymore in xorg | 20:52 |
| GridCube | yes, thats to be expected | 20:54 |
| nothere_ | @gridCube you were right with the new user it works | 20:59 |
| GridCube | :D eggcelent | 20:59 |
| nothere_ | so where to look for the broken session settings file or the nasty autostrated program or applet which forces mouse back to right handed and does many other strange things. | 20:59 |
| nothere_ | where to start systematic search | 20:59 |
| GridCube | you should now just erradicate all the configs you dont "need" from your standard user, i usually nuke all of them except for the xchat logs :P | 21:00 |
| GridCube | all of .local and .config | 21:00 |
| nothere_ | you mean ~/.conf what else ? | 21:00 |
| GridCube | probably ~/.local | 21:01 |
| GridCube | ~/.config has the settings for xfce4 | 21:02 |
| abderraouf | hi | 21:07 |
| abderraouf | how replay for a topic on the maillist? | 21:07 |
| GridCube | respond to the mail directly, clic the "respond" icon | 21:08 |
| GridCube | and :) hi abderraouf | 21:08 |
| GridCube | i've read all of your recommendations, there where... interesting | 21:09 |
| GridCube | abderraouf, care to join #xubuntu-devel please :) | 21:09 |
| nothere_ | GridCube_ that did it now everything is as it should | 21:09 |
| GridCube | :D nothere_ excellent im very happy for you | 21:10 |
| abderraouf | no one on #xubuntu-devel ^_^ | 21:10 |
| nothere_ | I did not radically clean ~/.conf ~/.local i left configs for evolution and program i have used allready before and continue to use. | 21:10 |

| ubottu | charlieigg: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 22:39 |
| charlieigg | I want to know if there are any performance limitations when using Xubuntu installed via 'wubi' compared to a normal usb/cd install | 22:40 |
| knome | i don't think there are performance limitations as is, but other limitations, yes | 22:41 |
| knome | also please note that the latest xubuntu releases do not support wubi | 22:41 |
| Myrtti | charlieigg: it's not really meant for prolonged use anyway | 22:52 |
