[01:17] hi [01:19] I'm curious about the sound configuration in US [01:20] I wrote it in the mailing list, it's a bit lengthy... [01:33] This is what I wrote there http://paste.ubuntu.com/5740608/ [09:06] hey, please tell me how can I check my ubuntu studio release version plz ? [09:09] lsb_release -r [09:10] okay ! it's 12.10 ^^ [09:12] may i redirect to #xubuntu to ask why my laptop is very slow when using chrome .. and many gtk app... I think there is problm between GPU and driver.... [09:15] just using gtktest for some benchs [13:10] Hey, so I got a problem that I'm not too sure how to fix [13:11] Ubuntu Studio was working great last night when I turned it off, and now when I turn it on, I get my wallpaper. No panels, no right click menu to launch terminal [13:12] Half the time when I boot into it I get my bottom panel (it has my window list, show desktop, workspace switcher), but even though the height of it is set to 24px, it spans the entire height of my screen, blocking out any ability to launch any programs [13:12] Luckily when I booted this time it launched chrome automatically [13:13] NickG: Maybe user settings for XFCE are corrupted [13:14] How would I resolve? [13:14] I can Alt-F2 to launch programs [13:15] the files you might want to remove are either in ~/.cache, ~/.config or some place like that [13:15] once you've removed them, logging in will create default onesw [13:15] oh, I should be able to launch nautilus [13:17] its not letting me launch nautilus [13:17] thunar maybe? [13:17] So, if I launch from my USB device and remove everything from ~/.cache and ~/.config it should work? [13:17] oh right [13:17] Yup, I forgot I didnt install nautilus [13:18] So in my cache there are a bunch of folders for like compiz, mozilla, fontconfig, nothing is going to be damaged by me removing them, right? [13:19] look for the xfce folder. [13:19] NickG, they'll reset when you log in again. Damage? no. Lose all preferences/settings? oh, yeah. [13:19] the only thing in there is a folder called xfce4-appfinder, its the thing I used to launch thunar. [13:20] Ok, so I've got that done, now how would I log out from here? [13:21] NickG, sudo reboot [13:21] Also cleared out the .config folder [13:21] ok [13:23] there's also ~/.local [13:25] SUCCESS! [13:25] Thank you, now I just need to reconfigure my panels. [13:25] Why am I still in here? [13:25] hah theres two of me [13:25] it probably has not timed out yet [13:26] there. [13:28] I read somewhere that shutdown is preferrable to reboot, as shutdown does it more correctlyu [13:28] sudo shutdown -r [13:28] sudo shutdown -r now [13:28] ..will reboot the computer [13:29] NickG_, I read the log from yesterday about local installation of Wordpress and apache issue. Maybe now is not a good time though? [13:29] ? [13:30] Regarding when I had apache setup on my computer? [13:30] zequence NickG: I think to begin with, if you just want to play around yourself, maybe you only need a local WP instalation to mess around with the theme 15:49 [13:30] NickG I haven't managed to get apache working correctly. I mean I can set it up and isntall webmin (the control panel) but PHP doesn't work even after I install it. I can't figure that one out. [13:30] Yah [13:31] I've got hosting elsewhere [13:31] I also had problems with LAMP set up and change apache to nginx. Now I run several wp locally for development [13:31] Just in my experience setting up my laptop as a local server, for some reason I could not get PHP running on it [13:31] Ahh [13:32] Problem with Apache? [13:32] or Apache > PHP [13:32] you could try with nginx instead then. Seemed easier to get it working. Now I also have set the site-directory on UbuntuOne so I can continue to work on any of my laptops [13:33] That's an idea. [13:33] I'm not sure exactly where the problem was, but it never worked alright for me. [13:33] so I switched. [13:34] See I develop HTML and PHP, and my HTML page I put in my WWW folder came up when typing my IP in the address bar, but any PHP script just showed up as the code [13:34] and I had linked it to the apache/php5 modules as well as usr/bin/php5 [13:34] neither worked [13:34] Maybe it was a webmin problem for me [13:34] did it work when you put the exact address in as localhost/file.php ? [13:34] no [13:35] ok [13:35] it was a PHP config problem I guess, maybe I missed an install package [13:35] I started a tutorial for setting up LEMP with Wordpress but as usual have not finished it due to time [13:35] time is a funny thing eh [13:36] I've got hosting with Doteasy and actually host my nickgermaine.ca there, I can do a like... ubuntustudio.nickgermaine.ca installation to play around with [13:36] yeah [13:36] I've got the FTP info here somewhere I'll just download the theme and isntall it in that installation [13:36] I need to do most of my "own" work while commuting so I needed local installations [13:37] yah, I thought it would be easier to place things in a local directory rather than FTP in. [13:37] It's not so bad with HTML because you can run HTML locally from any directory, but PHP is server side, hence the problem with testing [13:37] and my intent to setup a local server lol [13:38] I'll see if I can get my tutorial done tomorrow. There's a royal wedding in Sweden tomorrow so I suppose my girlfriend will be occupied elsewhere..:P [13:38] right on, link me up with it. Do you have a blog? [13:38] www.sjolund.se [13:40] Good stuff. I actually wrote a tutorial on installation specs, because I was getting a No Operating System found when booting from USB. Turns out its because my USB was formatted as NTFS instead of FAT32 [13:43] Your site looks a lot like mine, got blog, music, videos, etc. [13:43] Is that your music? [13:43] yes, the plan was to use the site only for music….but I don't do that much music so [13:43] cub: Ah, you're Jimmy [13:44] Nice, I'm listening to one now. [13:44] Aha, perhaps I never made that clear? [13:44] Check out www.nickgermaine.ca I've got some stuff up there [13:44] I'm not very good with names anyhow [13:45] I used to have cub.se for my music but then I company made me an offer I couldn't refuse for the domain [13:46] NickG_, you've made three albums?! [13:46] I've made 6 actually [13:46] look at www.nockoutrecordings.com [13:46] the nickgermaine.ca is still a work in progress [13:46] adding more today [13:46] wow [13:47] nothings streaming on there yet, but www.soundcloud.com/nick-germaine has a lot of them [13:48] cool [13:50] Ooh Hurt…I have an idea about a cover version of that too, but again, no time. [13:50] That's a great song. [13:51] I had an idea for an album that I'm working on solely in Ubuntu Studio, it's going to be the first open source musical project. [13:52] Basically, not only provide all 12-16 tracks for the album, but for each track there will be a compressed archive with each track of that song (drums, strings, guitar, piano, vocals). Mainly to inspire remix artists and give them resources for free [13:55] good idea! [13:55] I couldn't make my sound card work with US until last year, and then I got a baby so it's mostly collecting dust [13:56] Yah. I find I make less music now that I have a family, but its worth it. I'll get to it eventually, but I'm also trying to build a company with my wife. [13:56] Time is stretched these days [13:57] NickG_: to test local stuff you have to look at http://localhost/some/dir/file.ext [13:57] I know [13:57] That's what I had been doing, and it worked, but PHP did not work [13:57] Ya that would be server steup [13:58] time to get going, but I give you a ping if I manage to finish the tutorial this weekend [13:58] I used localhost, my machine name as well as my NAT ip, and they all brought up items from the WWW directory and displayed in my browser, but PHP code was rendering just as PHP code, and not what it was supposed to be doing. [13:59] I'll make another attempt at some point [13:59] Works here, but then I did a ubuntuserver install on an older machine. [13:59] I gotta run too, heading out with the family. Have a good one you guys
