[01:20] <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?
[01:21] <holstein> nuub: ask and we'll see if a volunteer can help
[01:29] <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?
[01:30] <nuub> wired connection also.
[01:33] <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
[01:35] <Unit193> Might want DNS server, not search domain.
[01:36] <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
[01:38] <nuub> worked! perfect, thx  knome and unit193 very appreciated
[05:37] <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
[07:42] <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
[07:43] <XATRIX> All i have in volume control applet, is Dummy Output
[07:54] <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] <XATRIX> I also restarted it

[13:42] <xubuntu682> hola
[13:42] <GridCube> !es | xubuntu682
[13:42] <GridCube> :) hola
[13:43] <xubuntu682> hello
[13:43] <xubuntu682> from?
[14:44] <maob> hi, I have no audio output in ubuntu 12.10 minimal xfce DE. With packard bell easynote  v7900
[14:46] <maob> on pavucontrol I have output dummy I don't know what to do
[14:47] <len-1304> That means pulseaudio (and probably ALSA) have not seen your audio interface
[14:48] <len-1304> maob, Is ALSA installed?
[14:49] <maob> I think so but how can I check it?
[14:50] <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
[14:51] <len-1304> sudo apt-get install alsa-base
[14:51] <len-1304> Just to make sure
[14:52] <maob> yes there is
[14:52] <len-1304> Have you rebooted since installing?
[14:53] <len-1304> For internal devices the modules are loaded at boot time
[14:53] <maob> sure
[14:54] <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
[14:55] <len-1304> lsmod
[14:56] <len-1304>  does that show any snd_ modules?
[14:57] <maob> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5652485/
[14:59] <len-1304> That looks like a pretty standard list of  modules.
[15:03] <maob> len-1304, what can I do?
[15:04] <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
[15:05] <maob> it doesn't run
[15:05] <len-1304> sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
[15:06] <maob> already installed
[15:06] <maob> to run alsamixer?
[15:06] <len-1304> Ya I guess if you had aplay.
[15:07] <len-1304> That is the package alsamixer comes from
[15:07] <len-1304> does the terminal tell you why alsamixer doesn't run?
[15:09] <maob> it says file or directory doesn't exist
[15:10] <len-1304> It looks like the package is not properly installed then
[15:11] <maob> oh
[15:13] <len-1304> sudo apt-get --reinstall install alsa-base alsa-utils
[15:13] <len-1304> Look for errors while installing.
[15:14] <maob> ok reboot
[15:15] <genii-around> Might want to do something like sudo apt-get -f install first
[15:16] <len-1304> genii-around, Thanks
[15:17] <len-1304> I have installed sound from a mini.iso before without problems, so I am not sure what happened
[15:20] <maob> again alsamixer doesn't run
[15:20] <len-1304> is it missing curses?
[15:21] <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?
[15:22] <maob> no
[15:22] <len-1304> try which alsamixer
[15:23] <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
[15:24] <maob> yes
[15:24] <len-1304> No output?
[15:25] <maob> (/usr/bin/alsamixer
[15:26] <len-1304> so alsa-mixer is there, the missing file is something it is looking for
[15:27] <maob> ok
[15:27] <len-1304> ls /dev/snd/
[15:29] <maob> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5652560/
[15:31] <len-1304> Is libasound2 installed?
[15:32] <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?
[15:34] <len-1304> maob, is linux-sound-base installed?
[15:37] <len-1304> maob, linux-sound-base should be installed as alsa-base requires it.
[15:40] <maob> len-1304 both already installed
[15:40] <len-1304> Ya, they are both depends of stuff you already have
[15:41] <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
[15:42] <len-1304> You may find more people in the #ubuntu channel
[15:43] <len-1304> audio shold work with no DE at all. I have installed audio on headless systems.
[15:43] <maob> ok
[15:44] <maob> thank you anyway
[15:45] <len-1304> there is also an #alsa channel
[15:45] <len-1304> maob, ^^
[16:53] <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
[16:54] <ironi> any tips?
[16:58] <bazhang> try nomodeset
[16:58] <bazhang> !nomodeset
[16:59] <ironi> thanks a lot
[17:06] <ironi> didn't help, unfortunately...
[17:06] <bazhang> what video card ironi
[17:07] <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
[17:08] <xubuntu625> hi I am looking for some info on Xubuntu os
[17:08] <bazhang> lspci in a terminal will show it
[17:09] <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
[17:10] <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
[17:11] <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
[17:12] <bazhang> !md5
[17:13] <ironi> bazhang: can I run the "check disc for defects" on the cd?
[17:14] <bazhang> sure ironi . I'd do that subsequent to md5 the iso though
[17:15] <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
[17:16] <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 :/
[17:17] <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
[17:18] <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
[17:19] <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
[17:20] <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
[17:21] <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
[17:23] <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.
[17:25] <Unit193> zsync -i oldfile.iso link-to-new.iso   if you want to "continue" from something with a different name.
[17:27] <ironi> len-1304: yep, and the md5 on my iso file is now correct, will try to burn it again
[17:28] <ironi> or actually put it on an usb drive :)

[19:11] <abderraouf> and now i sey what if you remove it
[19:11] <knome> there was also a reason why it isn't possible to remove it
[19:11] <abderraouf> *_*
[19:11] <abderraouf> ?
[19:12] <knome> please read the mail again. it saves both our and your time if you take the time to read the mails answering your questions properly
[19:12] <Unit193> apt-cache depends firefox > Recommends: firefox-globalmenu  Xubuntu builds with recommends enabled, otherwise there would be a "issues."

[19:52] <nothere_> hi all
[19:54] <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
[19:55] <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
[19:56] <GridCube> !purexfce
[19:56] <GridCube> nothere_, maybe you will get some hints there ^^^
[19:58] <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
[20:40] <xubuntu400> good evening
[20:45] <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
[20:47] <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.
[20:48] <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
[20:49] <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?
[20:52] <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
[20:54] <GridCube> yes, thats to be expected
[20:59] <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
[21:00] <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 ?
[21:01] <GridCube> probably ~/.local
[21:02] <GridCube> ~/.config has the settings for xfce4
[21:07] <abderraouf> hi
[21:07] <abderraouf> how replay for a topic on the maillist?
[21:08] <GridCube> respond to the mail directly, clic the "respond" icon
[21:08] <GridCube> and :) hi abderraouf
[21:09] <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
[21:10] <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.
[21:11] <GridCube> P: you just talk, when someone can answer you they wil abderraouf :)
[22:38] <charlieigg> Hello! I have a question regarding wubi install of Xubuntu. Can anybody assisst me here?
[22:39] <knome> !anybody | charlieigg
[22:40] <charlieigg> I want to know if there are any performance limitations when using Xubuntu installed via 'wubi' compared to a normal usb/cd install
[22:41] <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
[22:52] <Myrtti> charlieigg: it's not really meant for prolonged use anyway
