[00:02] <sirriffsalot> I'd like to have the latest and previous version of PHASEX working on the same machine.. Is this possible? As some of my presets don't work with the newest phasex any longer..
[01:08] <OmarA> Hi can someone help me install Java 1.7.0_170 for Xubuntu 12.04?
[02:57] <zetufu2u> Evening all
[02:58] <SunStar> hi
[02:59] <zetufu2u> Hi SunStar
[05:06] <ntzrmtthihu777> hallo :D working on a little screencasting script, hope you av wizards could give me a hand :D
[05:07] <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.
[05:08] <ntzrmtthihu777> what I'm hoping to learn, is if I can specify an x,y coordinate for the location of the face-cam window.

[12:52] <DarkEra> i expected a youtube link by now: Timelords - Doctorin' the Tardis :D
[13:02] <DarkEra> by the way... Space with Magic Fly was that got me into music when i was about 4 years old back in 1977
[21:22] <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
[21:28] <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
[21:29] <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.
[21:30] <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
[21:31] <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
[21:32] <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
[21:33] <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?
[21:34] <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
[21:35] <holstein> thompa: what grahpics chip do you have?
[21:39] <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
[21:40] <holstein> thompa: have you tried as another user? make a new user and try logging in please
[21:41] <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
[21:42] <holstein> thompa: do you have a custom xorg.conf in place?
[21:43] <thompa> no
[21:43] <holstein> thompa: and, as the new user?
[21:44] <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
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <holstein> thompa: so, you want to just wait then?
[21:47] <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
[21:48] <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?
[21:49] <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
[21:50] <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
[21:51] <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
[21:52] <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
[21:53] <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
[21:54] <DarkEra> O_o
[21:54] <holstein> another satisfied ubuntustudio user ;)
[21:55] <DarkEra> looks like it... lol
[21:56] <holstein> it would be nice to know if that kernel is the issue..
[21:57] <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
[22:12] <DarkEra> it's sometimes easier if they could provide info about what version they run. Most users forget to mention that
