| ntzrmtthihu777 | hallo :D working on a little screencasting script, hope you av wizards could give me a hand :D | 05:06 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | I have currently a script that runs mplayer in tv mode with a stream from my webcam, and runs on top of that my screencapture python script. | 05:07 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | what I'm hoping to learn, is if I can specify an x,y coordinate for the location of the face-cam window. | 05:08 |

| thompa | hello. I have ubuntustudio on a couple machines but would like to go back to plain ubuntu. can anyone help. I do not want to reinstall | 21:22 |
| holstein | thompa: i would think it would be as simple as.. | 21:28 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get remove ubuntustudio-deskop && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 21:28 |
| holstein | then maybe apt-get autoremove if you want | 21:28 |
| holstein | thompa: you can just install ubuntu-desktop or unity.. and have basic ubuntu... ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu | 21:29 |
| thompa | i would too, i tried the faq site | 21:29 |
| thompa | i mean i tried that and a couple other things, i get the low graphic mode option but that does not work. | 21:29 |
| holstein | thompa: you'll get whatever unity supports | 21:30 |
| thompa | i have had unity on this laptop before | 21:30 |
| holstein | thompa: if you have no 3d, you'll get a low graphic mode from unity.. | 21:30 |
| thompa | too many files to move to start over | 21:30 |
| holstein | thompa: you should have your data backed up regardless.. that hard drive *will* fail | 21:31 |
| thompa | i get the low graphic mode wrning then black screen | 21:31 |
| holstein | thompa: what do i think is going on? | 21:31 |
| holstein | i think you are switching to unity, which requires 3d.. and you dont have a proper 3d driver for likely an ati or nvidia GPU | 21:31 |
| holstein | !ati | 21:31 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 21:31 |
| holstein | thompa: there is a graphics recovery option in the recovery kernel | 21:32 |
| thompa | holstein: like i said i have run unity before | 21:32 |
| thompa | tried that | 21:32 |
| holstein | thompa: the, it *will* be the same | 21:32 |
| thompa | or i would not be here | 21:32 |
| holstein | thompa: keep in mind, you *have* unity.. you *have* ubuntu | 21:32 |
| holstein | you have a graphics issue | 21:32 |
| thompa | no i dont | 21:32 |
| holstein | there is no other "ubuntu-graphics" package | 21:32 |
| holstein | thompa: then, get ubuntu.. install the ubuntu-desktop package | 21:33 |
| holstein | have you done that? | 21:33 |
| thompa | yes | 21:33 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? | 21:33 |
| thompa | i followed ubuntustudio faq and | 21:33 |
| holstein | thompa: ok.. and you have purged XFCE? and ubuntustudio-desktop? | 21:33 |
| thompa | yes yes | 21:33 |
| holstein | thompa: ok... what graphics chip do you have? | 21:33 |
| thompa | its a dell xps laptop intel . it always worked before | 21:34 |
| holstein | thompa: it *will* work | 21:34 |
| thompa | somehow i removed an essential package | 21:34 |
| holstein | thompa: what graphics chip do you have? | 21:34 |
| holstein | thompa: relax | 21:34 |
| holstein | thompa: you also could be using a different version of ubuntu | 21:34 |
| thompa | maybe | 21:34 |
| holstein | if you had ubuntu with unity in 12.04, and this is ubuntustudio 12.10.. that could be the issue | 21:34 |
| holstein | thompa: what grahpics chip do you have? | 21:35 |
| thompa | Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller | 21:39 |
| holstein | so, its not a 3d driver issue | 21:39 |
| thompa | so not recognized | 21:39 |
| holstein | have you tried logging in as another user? | 21:39 |
| thompa | that why it works on live cd | 21:39 |
| holstein | thompa: have you tried as another user? make a new user and try logging in please | 21:40 |
| thompa | i could try that | 21:41 |
| holstein | thompa: you should be able to try that in a few seconds... and it will remove your current user config from the equation | 21:41 |
| holstein | thompa: do you have a custom xorg.conf in place? | 21:42 |
| thompa | no | 21:43 |
| holstein | thompa: and, as the new user? | 21:43 |
| thompa | why would that matter? | 21:44 |
| holstein | thompa: the new user? | 21:44 |
| thompa | yes | 21:44 |
| holstein | thompa: the new user, as i said, will remove your current user config from the equation | 21:44 |
| holstein | thompa: it will matter by creating a new user with a default user config scenario | 21:44 |
| holstein | thompa: it should also take less than 2 minutes to test, and remove your current users config from the equation.. would you please create a new user and try logging in? | 21:45 |
| thompa | user login is after boot. i get problems booting too. no background | 21:45 |
| holstein | let me know if you dont want to, and i'll just keep quiet and let you wait on another volunteer | 21:45 |
| holstein | thompa: so, you want to just wait then? | 21:46 |
| thompa | let me ask another question while your here. is the kernel different for unity and ubuntustudio? | 21:47 |
| thompa | im trying to pull settings up to make a user | 21:47 |
| holstein | thompa: you can install the normal kernel if you like | 21:47 |
| holstein | we ship with a lowlatency kernel, that was supporting your hardware | 21:47 |
| holstein | main ubuntu ships with the generic pae kernel | 21:47 |
| thompa | so if i go back to unity its still low latency? | 21:48 |
| holstein | thompa: if you go back to unity, you can use whatever kernel you want.. correct | 21:48 |
| holstein | you can install and use the generic pae kernel.. or the lowlatency one you installed with stock ubuntustudio | 21:48 |
| thompa | sure i can, but do i get the kernel if i purge studio? | 21:48 |
| holstein | thompa: you get what you want | 21:49 |
| holstein | thompa: if you didnt remove the kernel, it should still be there | 21:49 |
| holstein | thompa: if you want, install the generic pae kernel, and boot with that kernel and test | 21:49 |
| holstein | that wont hurt, and should also take a few minutes to test | 21:49 |
| thompa | that could be a problem. so the commands to go back to vanilla ubuntu do not give you everything | 21:50 |
| holstein | thompa: i have not tested that.. but what i would do, before assuming that the kernel *is* the issue, is test that it is or not | 21:50 |
| holstein | then, report.. and we will deal with the documentation if needed | 21:51 |
| thompa | ok | 21:51 |
| holstein | as i said, it should take a few minutes.. just tap shift at boot if grub is hiding from you so you can choose the proper kernel | 21:51 |
| thompa | i see poepl just reinstalling from the web help | 21:51 |
| holstein | thompa: you should have your data backedup | 21:52 |
| thompa | i shouldnt have to do that for debian | 21:52 |
| holstein | if you are "afraid" to reinstall, you probably dont have proper backups | 21:52 |
| holstein | you *can* recover from this though.. | 21:52 |
| thompa | backup is not an issue | 21:52 |
| holstein | thompa: ubuntustudio nor ubuntu are debian | 21:52 |
| thompa | my backups of docs is fine | 21:52 |
| thompa | just a lot of extra music files i have them elsewehre | 21:53 |
| holstein | thompa: hows that kernel working? | 21:53 |
| thompa | you go off topic | 21:53 |
| thompa | nevermind | 21:53 |
| DarkEra | O_o | 21:54 |
| holstein | another satisfied ubuntustudio user ;) | 21:54 |
| DarkEra | looks like it... lol | 21:55 |
| holstein | it would be nice to know if that kernel is the issue.. | 21:56 |
| holstein | i still think it could be 3d related with unity, but i dont know what version of ubuntu that was.. or what kernel.. | 21:57 |
| holstein | seemed to be no interest in troubleshooting things that i feel comfortable troubleshooting | 21:57 |
| DarkEra | it's sometimes easier if they could provide info about what version they run. Most users forget to mention that | 22:12 |
