| netcrash | hello, can anyone provide me the default groupS for the "admin" user in xubuntu? | 01:52 |
|---|---|---|
| GridCube | i have; gridcube adm cdrom sudo audio dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare vboxusers | 01:59 |
| GridCube | and sudo has root | 02:00 |
| netcrash | thks | 02:00 |
| Unit193 | !admingroup | 02:03 |
| ubottu | Up through Ubuntu 11.10, administrator privileges using sudo was granted to the "admin" Unix group. In Ubuntu 12.04, privileges are granted to the "sudo" group, for consistency with upstream and Debian. For compatibility, the "admin" group will continue to have access in 12.04. | 02:03 |
| netcrash | Unit193: thks for the aditional info | 02:17 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 02:18 |
| xubuntu867 | does anyone know how to change the brightness in xubuntu? | 07:25 |
| xubuntu867 | my current issue is that is that xubuntu recognizes my fn keys | 07:25 |
| xubuntu867 | but i can only adjust the brightness in one increment | 07:26 |
| xubuntu867 | i.e. right now it's at max, and i can only bring it down by one increment | 07:26 |
| xubuntu867 | and then back up again by one increment | 07:26 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu867: xrandr --output NAME-OF-THE-SCREEN --brightness 0.5 | 07:33 |
| TheSheep | you can get the names of your screens by running xrandr without parameters | 07:33 |
| TheSheep | brightness 1.0 is 100%, 0.0 is 0% | 07:33 |
| xubuntu867 | ok so i found out that my screen is called "Screen 0" | 07:37 |
| xubuntu867 | but when i tried | 07:37 |
| xubuntu867 | xrandr --output Screen 0 --brightness 0.5 | 07:37 |
| xubuntu867 | it popped up another screen with a bunch of paramater information | 07:37 |
| xubuntu867 | and no change in brightness | 07:37 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu867: xrandr --output 'Screen 0' --brightness 0.5 | 07:38 |
| xubuntu867 | warning: output Screen 0 not found; ignoring | 07:39 |
| xubuntu867 | xrandr: Need crtc to set gamma on | 07:39 |
| xubuntu867 | -> that's the error i got | 07:39 |
| TheSheep | can you pastebin the output of xrandr? | 07:41 |
| xubuntu867 | yes | 07:41 |
| xubuntu867 | http://pastebin.com/AsPV1Dey | 07:43 |
| TheSheep | no no, the one without parameters | 07:43 |
| TheSheep | sorry, I wasn't clear | 07:43 |
| xubuntu867 | http://pastebin.com/E3DXUw23 | 07:43 |
| TheSheep | ok, so your screen is called LVDS1 | 07:44 |
| TheSheep | your output, I mean | 07:44 |
| xubuntu867 | OMG | 07:44 |
| xubuntu867 | it worked | 07:44 |
| TheSheep | :D | 07:44 |
| xubuntu867 | THANK YOu | 07:44 |
| TheSheep | btw, xrandr has a lot of other useful options :) | 07:45 |
| xubuntu867 | is there no easier way to adjust brightness? | 07:45 |
| TheSheep | well, you could now bind xrandr to keys... | 07:45 |
| xubuntu867 | how would i do that????? | 07:45 |
| TheSheep | in keyboard settings | 07:45 |
| xubuntu867 | application shortcuts? | 07:46 |
| TheSheep | yes | 07:46 |
| xubuntu867 | what would i add for instance | 07:46 |
| TheSheep | what you just typed | 07:46 |
| xubuntu867 | xrandr --output 'LVDS1' --brightness 0.5 | 07:47 |
| xubuntu867 | i could configure that to a global hotkey? | 07:47 |
| TheSheep | yes | 07:47 |
| TheSheep | this is a workaround, of course, I suppose at some point they will fix the normal function keys | 07:48 |
| xubuntu867 | ya | 07:48 |
| xubuntu867 | is this an issue for other people | 07:48 |
| xubuntu867 | with the Fn keys | 07:48 |
| TheSheep | sometimes | 07:48 |
| TheSheep | for me the brightness keys work, for the keyboard backlight keys don't | 07:49 |
| bullgard4 | Is it normal that Xubuntu 12.04.2 Appications > Log Out > (Log out <username>) > shows a "Suspend" button but no »Hibernate« button? | 10:32 |
| knome | bullgard4, yes | 10:43 |
| bullgard4 | knome: Do you know the reason why a "Hibernate" button does not exist? | 10:44 |
| knome | bullgard4, hibernating is disabled by default in xubuntu | 10:46 |
| bullgard4 | knome: Right. -- Thank you for your help. | 10:48 |

| jdr | anybody some advice on accessibility features? I'm working with a class of students. I want to find a way to let them login without a keyboard. | 17:02 |
| jdr | I was thinking about mouse gestures to login, or a method where I can just login for them using my pc, so they get to see the desktop environment directly | 17:03 |
| rantic | jdr: There isa project called voximp which allows you to logon to a desktop with your voice | 17:03 |
| rantic | i'm not sure if that's the kind of thing you're talking about | 17:03 |
| jdr | yes, could be a way, I should take a look at that. Although not all pc's have a mic on them. | 17:04 |
