[13:48] why are there two bluetooth icons in xubuntu 13.04? [13:49] doebi, ... I've only one. [13:51] i have two [13:51] Perhaps you have two devices [13:52] doebi, agree with genii ...

Do I need to upgrade to 12.04.2 or just updating system will be fine? [14:12] c2tarun, just update. [14:12] c2tarun: Updating will bring it to the next version ( dist-upgrade ) [14:13] !dist-upgrade [14:13] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [14:13] Pici: Well, it won't go 12.04-12.10 for sure :) [14:14] genii-around: right, just pointing it out. Your message confused me. [14:14] anyone uses drop and share plug in of cairo dock?knows how i can see the real progress of a upload? [14:14] or cancel it as uploading? [14:16] doebi: Fellow posting at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1987642 seems to have same issue, apparently caused by install of "blueman" [14:18] genii-around: i saw this post. but removing blueman removes the "correct" icon rather than the buggy one [14:21] hello! is there a them to make pidgin like it was msn essentials because got shut down by MS?

[14:39] c2tarun: keep in mind, its really up to the maintainers of chrome to "fix" things for you.. i say that as a chrome user as well [14:40] one of the first things i did was stop using bookmarks so heavily, since the management was a bit uncomfortable for me [14:40] holstein, the issue is that if you click on a bookmark folder , there is kind of a lock, now if you move to any other bookmark folder, it should open automatically, but I have to click to open second folder [14:41] holstein, to understand the problem, open thunar, click to open File menu and then move your pointer to Edit, your edit menu will open automatically [14:41] c2tarun: i dont think thats a "should" scenario... i think thats something that you might prefer.. you should ask the chrome developers to implement that feature [14:42] anyone using drop and share of cairo dock? [14:42] holstein, actually in office I use chrome on Win 7 this feature is there. As far as I remember, this feature was in chrome as well, don't know why it happened. [14:44] c2tarun: have you tried in chromium? and as another user? [14:44] holstein, I don't have chromium, let me try as another user. [14:44] c2tarun: chromium can be installed from the default repos.. im suggesting it as a troubleshooting step, not an alternative browser [14:46] holstein, I think diff user also didn't help, let me try installing chromium [14:47] woww... chromium will take 118 MBs after install, thats pretty big for a browser I guess [14:47] c2tarun: dont install it then [14:47] holstein, its installing :) [14:47] c2tarun: the bookmarks open automatically for me in chrome.. on hovering [14:47] I was just sharing my views [14:50] c2tarun: Version 26.0.1410.63 is the version of chrome i am using.. when i click "about" in the menu.. also, in that same menu area is "report an issue".. thats really where you would need to report issues specific to chrome.. i am on ubuntu 12.04 [14:51] c2tarun: chrome://feedback/?session_id=1&tab_index=3&description=&categoryTag= [14:51] holstein, thanks for confirming :) [14:52] c2tarun: confirming? [14:53] holstein, did I misunderstand what you said. [14:53] I thought that you meant that this is an issue [14:53] c2tarun: not for me.. for me, i hover, and the bookmark folders expand [14:54] holstein, in chrome as well? [14:54] c2tarun: i have *only* tested this in chrome [14:54] hmm... okay [14:54] c2tarun: i use chrome regularly.. it is my main browser.. it is *not* in the default repos, as you know [14:55] holstein, one more thing, do you feel any heating issue when streaming videos on chrome? [14:57] c2tarun: for me, computers get hotter when utilizing extra components.. on *all* OS's [14:57] ok [14:57] c2tarun: when any machine i have starts utilizing the graphics chip, or CPU harder, it gets warmer, and either gets hotter or louder, due to the fans [14:58] if its specific to chrome, it could be one of several things.. keep in mind, chrome has its own flash.. so, it could be the newer version of flash.. could be the itegration of the browser into the OS [14:59] http://www.youtube.com/html5 is something to try.. to use html5 instead of flash, as a troubleshooting step [14:59] holstein, I just tested in chromium and I am facing same problemin chromium as well. [14:59] holstein, any ideas how to fix it? [15:01] c2tarun: well, what im proposing is, nothing is broken.. what would i do? just click in the menu item to expand it.. what did i personally do? i dont use chome to manage bookmarks [15:01] c2tarun: you can troubleshoot as a different user... you *can* start a bug report about chromium and chrome... i would try and get someone else to confirm the "problem" [15:02] when i test, it opens right up... are you on the same version as i am? [15:02] holstein, ok, I'll report a problem in chrome first then after few days in chromium if it persists [15:02] holstein, nope my chrome version is something like 27.something [15:02] c2tarun: share here your *exact* version.. [15:03] c2tarun: and in the bug report.. specifics are important [15:03] holstein, Chrome Version 27.0.1453.93 [15:03] chromium Version 25.0.1364.160 Ubuntu 12.04 (25.0.1364.160-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) [15:05] c2tarun: if you can wait, i will upgrade to your version and test chrome [15:05] holstein, yeah sure [15:15] c2tarun: Version 27.0.1453.93 on ubuntu 12.04 32bit.. i go to my bookmarks toolbar, i hover on folders and they open on hover, automatically (at least after a little lag) [15:15] let me try the lag thing [15:15] not 3 seconds.. its just not immediate either [15:16] nope not opening, even I have to click two times, first time to close the menu, second time to open new folders menu :( [15:16] but, if you have a lot of bookmarks, i could see it taking longer.. [15:16] c2tarun: what would i do? backup the bookmarks, and move them out of the way.. or test as a different user on a simpler setup.. create a simple test case [15:17] actually, what i would personally do is just click on the folder and not worry about it... [15:17] holstein, yeah I think I'll click again :) [15:17] god know, this may solve my bookmarks addiction.

[18:30] !ati [18:30] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [18:30] i wouldnt be worried about running a vesa driver, if its old [18:30] Mobility X700 is not really supported, resume from standby won't work [18:30] occasionally, i just dont standby old hardware.. i just disable it [18:31] @Holstein: you mean no ATI ?! ;-) [18:31] maybe trying older versions of ubuntu/linux [18:31] kuzorra: not sure what you are asking, but i mean, no standby.. if its problematic.. or using the vesa driver with that hardware [18:31] I just upgraded my old laptop to 12.04 LTS, because 11.04 didn't work either [18:32] would vesa work with that card and support standby? [18:32] kuzorra: i dont have that hardware in front of me, but its worth a try, assuming standby is a must.. [18:32] Disabling standby would be an option, but not a solution to my problem [18:33] kuzorra: sure.. just keep in mind its a hardware specific problem that is going to require troubleshooting and likely compromise on your part [18:33] sometimes I want to suspend to RAM - for example when leaving a train - and continue there shortly after that [18:34] sure.. and that might not be an option for you with the current software that is available kuzorra [18:34] could be the older drivers are not compatible with the newer kernels.. [18:34] okay, at the moment I simply don't use standby, but it would be nice to use a standard feature like that [18:34] what would i do? make a custom xorg.conf specifying the vesa driver.. try other live CD's and see if anything sleeps and wakes "as-is" out of the box [18:34] you're right, old drivers don't work [18:36] Will do, but at the moment I'm stuck with a slow connection, so trying different distros is no option [18:36] kuzorra: consider using whatever operating system the hardware ships with and supports [18:36] I got several images at home, but here I just have the 12.04 alternate with me [18:36] Hahaha, that would be Windows XP [18:36] these days, hardware is so reasonably prices, i would just pick up an intel netbook that will meet all your needs out of the box [18:37] kuzorra: XP will sleep and wake up [18:37] I got one, too, but not with me....... [18:37] ......and I like the screen of my old notebook [18:37] if that is a deal breaking feature for that hardware.. otherwise, there is nothing ubuntu/xubunt is doing to prevent you or ati from providing support for that hardware.. but its likely just too old to have a community for it [18:38] Xp works fine, but I switched to Win7 (slow!) and I hardly use it, because I don't need to [18:40] you're right, no community for it, just old threads in several forums [18:40] I hoped to find someone with a nice solution for it [18:40] .....but I didn't try VESA yet [18:41] kuzorra: keep in mind, the ones responsible for supplying a "solution" never did supply one for linux for your hardare.. and dont supply any solutions for any modern OS.. that the vendor of the hardware [18:41] kuzorra: the opensource community would need a reason to maintain it. otherwise, it can slip out of support [18:43] I perfectly understand that, it just cameto my mind that IRC might help (because google couldn't) [18:45] I don't have a Xorg.conf, should I create one and make VESA the default driver, or what would be the right way to do this [18:45] ? [18:46] kuzorra: what do i do? i usually et a knoppix live CD.. if get the graphics set up the way i want.. then i copy that over and use it with ubuntu, changing what needs to be changed [18:47] you can search around, or create one from scratch, or whatever works best for you [18:49] hmmm, will check that out [18:50] kuzorra: i would just do it real quick.. it shouldnt take long (like 4 or 5 minutes) to come up with an xorg.conf and put it in place and test... as long as you know how to remove it using a live CD, you wont break anything permenantly [18:50] also, you can try nomodeset from the live CD, and test sleep [18:50] !nomodeset [18:50] 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 [18:53] thanks, I'll read it..... [18:53] .....I stumbled across "nomodeset", but I read that for others it did not work [18:54] The video boots fine and works well (considering its age), but resume sucks [18:55] kuzorra: sure.. but just grab the live CD and boot with it.. then you'll know for certain if it works for you.. on your sepcific hardware case. unless you read someone using the *exact* hardware, and ubuntu/linux version, you really cant say without trying first hand.. and it takes as long as it takes to boot a live CD to confirm [18:55] kuzorra: try going to tty after resume fails.. [18:56] !tty [18:56] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution [18:58] thanks, I know virtual consoles [18:59] holstein, what do you mean wit !nomodeset and !tty [19:00] kuzorra: They're triggers for our channel bot, ubottu, see the information that it has posted. [19:00] kuzorra: i mean, get the cd you installed ubuntu with.. use it live booting iwth the nomodeset option.. i used !nomodeset to pull up the links on how to do that [19:00] I understand ubottu's link regarding nomodeset in a way that I can try this boot parameter on my kernel, too [19:00] kuzorra: !tty explains to you how to go to , and get back from tty.. if you get the machine to fail to resume, you can try TTY [19:01] kuzorra: oops, sorry. Some people don't understand what a bot is, I'm used to dealing with them. [19:01] cool sh*t, I didn't know that [19:01] kuzorra: i would just boot the live cd and test. then, you can use the nomodeset option without changing your current setup.. but, do what you need [19:01] !nomodeset [19:01] 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 [19:02] this link says 'just try it once by editing your boot parameters without a permanent change [19:02] ' [19:03] this bot is awesome, does this work in all channels or just some? [19:03] So. Will I be able to fit 840MB xubuntu to an regular CD? [19:03] Ubuntu's channels. [19:03] kuzorra: sure.. follow that, or the live CD.. or whatever method you prefer [19:03] Or via pm./ [19:03] Wulong: 840 is larger than all my CDr's..

[19:12] I still have problem with my sound. while camming on skype I cant here anything from youtube and vlc and when I turn these on skype will crash. any suggestion?

[19:33] know* [19:34] nope, couldn't even find anything remotely current with google [19:36] Wulong: i would read the plop page i linked.. i use it like this.. i boot the cd i burned, and i boot the usb sticks i make with unetbootin (for example) [19:36] holstein: already got it bootin and reading from USB. Just have to figure out boot options. I think nomodeset will do it. [19:37] peyam: verify that skype is using pulseaudio [19:37] peyam: i would try pavucontrol ..see if that helps you route [19:38] Wulong: it uses systemdefault. I tried to reinstall puleaudio but still no ppulseautio in skype sound devide option [19:38] pavucontroll isn't it the same as pulseaudio [19:38] i would try teh current skyp from the site.. [19:38] the* [19:38] yes [19:39] it is [19:39] peyam: pavucontrol controls pulseaudio.. think of it as a mixer for it, specifically [19:39] peyam: i would try installing, and checking the routing there with it [19:40] holstein: what exatclcy do you want me to do ? [19:40] 1) install pavucontrol 2) reinstall skype? [19:41] peyam: i have made the sugestion to be sure you have the current version of skype from the site.. also, you might wnt to just remove it from the equation and test.. [19:41] peyam: i would use pavucontrol to test and configure the routing for the applictations in pulse audio [19:42] so first uninstall skype [19:42] and then pavucontrol [19:42] peyam: so.. 1). instal the current version of skype from the site (if you dont have it).. 2. if needed, install pavucontrol (since it is a mixer for pulse audio with more options) [19:43] peyam: we have no control over skype, so personally, i wouldnt break a bunch of the system assuming the issue is with pulse.. assming everything else about the audio is in order [19:44] it worked but since I install the new kernel it happens [19:44] peyam: i would just boot the older kernel then [19:44] I didnt have any problem with 12.10 untill 3.5.0.18 [19:45] holstein: I dont wana get in trubble. I do lot os matlab programming.. I dont know if it will effect it [19:45] peyam: im not suggesting you change *anything* about your system.. you literally boot the last kernel that works for you [19:46] upgrade as normal, and check in each update, and see if support for your hardare/software is back in place for you.. file a bug and keep watch on the progress [19:46] holstein: will it effect other things? [19:46] peyam: sure.. it will make your system work properly [19:47] peyam: what else will it do? i have *no* idea, but you are a reboot away from being right back where you are now [19:47] dont remove the current kernel.. or break anything.. just boot the older kernel [19:47] okej.. very good. I will do the installation of pavucontrol [19:47] and skype [19:49] holstein: When I search for pavucontrol i get the pulseaudio [19:52] !info pavucontrol [19:52] pavucontrol (source: pavucontrol): PulseAudio Volume Control.

How neat. [20:30] hello, fresh install of Xubuntu 13.04, and I seem to have lost my battery icon. The xfce4-power-manager process is running, but I cannot connect to it via xfce4-power-manager-settings, unless I kill the xfce4-power-manager process and restart it from command line with the --no-daemon option [20:30] if I run it as a daemon from command line, the error is reproduced [20:31] ...also I have two bluetooth icones... one smaller and white, the other larger and black. [20:31] icons* [20:32] if the error is more than 3 lines, please use paste.ubuntu.com, if shorter, please post it here [20:33] I cannot produce an actual error. [20:33] phunyguy, open settings, power manager. make sure 'system tray icon' is set to 'always show icon' [20:34] ObrienDave: I cannot open the power manager settings, as stated in my first line. :) [20:34] phunyguy: have you installed updates? [20:34] If I run it from command line, I get no error on screen, process is running, but no icon, and no connection to the daemon via settings applet. If I run with --no-daemon, it functions as advertised. [20:34] Sysi: yes. [20:35] phunyguy, have you tried from the settings menu? [20:35] Have I tried what, exactly, from the settings menu? [20:35] could you put ~/.xsession-errors to pastebin? [20:37] Sysi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5717980/ [20:38] settings menu, power manager [20:38] ObrienDave: for the third time, I get an error that it cannot connect to xfce4-power-manager. [20:39] this may sound dull, but have you rebooted? [20:39] Sysi: yes, unfortunately... :( [20:39] I wish it was that easy. [20:39] it works great as a non-daemon... [20:40] xfce4-power-manager seems to have --debug option, try that [20:41] go to sessions and startup. under application autostart, see if power manager is checked [20:42] ObrienDave: he can't even start it manually [20:42] *shrugs and walks away* [20:43] he's dead jim :p [20:43] hahaaha [20:43] sorry had to step away for a second [20:44] :-/ with --debug, that seems to --non-daemon it as well [20:44] ...so it works. [20:44] thus no error :( [20:50] I have a problem with virtualbox, 13.04 guest doesn't set any driver to ac97 device it sees even if I have installed guest additions [20:51] so I have no sound [20:54] so the plot thickens [20:54] I unchecked the autorun box in startup apps [20:55] ran it manually after a reboot..... it works. [20:56] rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions and set it back to autostart [20:57] * phunyguy crosses fingers [20:58] whoo, switching from linux-virtual to linux-image-generic fixed the sound [20:58] but I have a guess as to what that did... removed a saved session...? [20:58] yeah, possibly corrupted one [20:58] oh looky here... a battery icon! [20:58] thank you sir [20:59] ...or ma'am? [20:59] you're welcome (sir) [21:02] well then, you, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. [21:05] hello, I have a proglem [21:05] b* [21:05] images and videos are in green et violet [21:07] all of them or just some on the web? [21:07] what happens and what are solutions ? [21:08] all [21:08] :( [21:09] all in web or local videos too? [21:09] 2 sec, all in web but locals... [21:10] well anyway, right click on some video, go to settings and disable hardware acceleration [21:10] ok, thanks [21:12] done, it is always in green lines [21:18] hello, I have videos and images in green lines [21:19] !patience | xubuntu440 [21:19] xubuntu440: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [21:40] hello, I have .swf videos in green and violet [21:46] Person that left too soon: Kind of squished too? [21:47] weird that he had the same ip as the previous guest. [21:48] Same question. [22:07] hello [22:07] can anyone tell me why I can't run wine after installing libreoffice? [23:23] Sysi: so I lost my battery icon again.... and again, a rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions + restart fixed it. [23:23] I wonder how many times this is going to happen [23:33] I'm trying to install Xubuntu on a laptop with a bum CD drive. I tried to download it to a USB drive, but I got a torrent file that I can't open or do anything with. What's the secret to using torrent? [23:33] Hi friends, I don't have a sound applet or controller in tray icon, how to get that? [23:36] errr...Get out of my way. I have actual questions. xubuntu268. Are portable apps a possibility. There is a portable app called unetbootin that can help you. format the usb fat 32 (default in windows) c2tarun: is pulse audio installed? Can you hear the boot sound? Have you check in panels? [23:37] xubuntu739, I checked in panels, and sound was coming till last boot. When I opened this morning I am getting no sound, let me check about pulse audio [23:38] checked the syslog? [23:38] likely something is failing? Do you have a backup user to just log into to check defaults? [23:39] xubuntu268: Whatever OS you used to download the torrent file must have some torrent client that was written for it, like BitTorrent or something. This is what you want to use the torrent file with. [23:40] xubuntu268: Try these: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/utorrent_portable, http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/unetbootin-portable. utorrent is terrrible, but it will get you the file and then you can use something better. [23:44] xubuntu268: This is assuming of course that you're running Windows. If you're running another linux you can install something like transmission or bittorrent, if MacOS then the Mac version of utorrent. [23:45] I looked through application finder and I found this http://imagebin.org/259607 The part I circled was muted. I unmuted it. This is the problem I am facing with kind of all distros. Default setting after reboot is muted sound. Earlier in ubuntu it was in tray icon so I simply unmute it as I reboot once a day. But here in xubuntu I am not able to get sound controller in tray icons. [23:50] Hey guys I have two problems: 1. I cannot mount any disks, partitions. 2. I am trying to restart thunderbird but it says it is already running. I checked sys monitor process but it's not listed [23:51] tried killall but said the process not found. Again, when i try to restart it says its running [23:51] c2: Have you tried this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1987209 [23:51] ignore the stupid part. Tons of people do this crap. [23:52] nixnine: check sudo ps aux | grep th [23:52] nixnine: have you checked ls -la /dev/disk/by- whatever. Are the partitions there? [23:53] by whatever I mean by-label, by-uuid, ect [23:53] I keep getting read only file system error [23:54] I have my hd partitioned. it will read the partition i'm not using but no usb, no dvd/cd [23:55] ah. Try gparted on the usb. It scans everything. Make sure you don't f things up, but I am sure you know how dangerous gparted is. As far as dvd/cd, I can't help you sorry. [23:57] when i ls ... by-id it lists everything [23:58] all partitions, usb, dvd [23:59] here is an example listing: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 28 18:26 ata-TOSHIBA_MK2555GSX_99GITEBJT -> ../../sda [23:59] does that mean anything to anyone? [23:59] It means that you have a hard drive
