SonikkuAmericanintet: Have you checked Additional Drivers?02:30
nintetis that in the "Software Center" ?02:32
nagevyes it should be02:33
nintetok, sais no proprietary drivers on this system02:33
tych0nintet: try sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon if you want an open source driver for your card02:34
tych0i think as long as you're not trying to do any 3d work it should be fine02:34
nintetxserver-xorg-video-radeon is already the newest version.02:34
tych0oh :-(02:35
Unit193Software Sources > Additional Drivers  if you want closed source.02:35
tych0yeah, you'll probably want the closed source driver then02:35
nagevyeh i would think thats is used by default.  maybe you could try installing the proprietary one. try: sudo apt-get install fglrx02:35

nintetare you on a phone?02:38
nintetok, the install finished, do i just reboot to try it ?02:38
nagevyeah reboot and cross your fingers!  i think if you have issues you need to run: aticonfig --initial02:40
tych0aticonfig --initial --all maybe?02:40
tych0or i guess that's if you have more than one card02:40
SuperLagI have a ThinkPad connected to a docking station. When I boot undocked, the theme and fonts look fine when the desktop loads.06:22
SuperLagHowever, if I reboot while docked, the theme is hosed, and so are the fonts. You guys heard of any issue like that?06:22
SuperLaga pair of external monitors connected to the docking station06:22
dskflhi, in xubuntu 13 i can't have a custom keyboard map automatically run at boot. I need to run xmodmap .Xmodmap in a terminal each time restart the pc09:39
brainwashdskfl: navigate to  settings manager -> session and startup -> application autostart  and add the command09:45
koegsnormally you will be asked once(!) if you want to load .Xmodmap on every startup09:46
dskfli did not receive that question09:47
dskfland it's a recent install so i should remember09:47
koegsplease check with gconf-editor if "desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/general" has an entry ".Xmodmap" in known_file_list09:47
dskfli believe i found once that the init scripts look for such a custom .Xmodmap in the users home dir and it tries to load it if found, but it never *worked* for me09:48
dskfli'll just try the session thing and see at the next reboot09:48
dskflwell found it again, /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc line 8809:51
dskflactually if i copy paste that line in the terminal it sets the kb map. Maybe this script is not run at startup as it should dunno09:52
koegsdskfl: you are right, tested it in 13.04 and no such questions appear09:56
koegs*appears09:56
koegslast time i have used .Xmodmap was wit 10.0409:57
dskflmaybe should fill in a bug09:57
koegsdskfl: would be the best idea... as workaround you can use the instruction from brainwash09:57
dskflok09:58
dskflanyway this is a minor inconvenient compared to using unity09:59
koegs[x] true :)09:59
dskfli would happily set xmodmap 3 times a day than use that09:59
nasirhi i am new to xubuntu. my vlc crashes when i put it in fullscreen10:03
dskflwhat video driver do you have installed10:04
nasiri dont know10:05
dskflmaybe you could try and install a proprietary driver after finding out what video card and driver you currently have. But i never had problems with a default install, in my case i have nvidia and the default nouveau driver10:06
nasirthanks dskfl i am checking10:08
dskfldon't count on it to fix the issue though.. but i would try it10:09
nasirok10:10
Aienadskfl: I noticed that proprietary drivers seem to perform better when it comes to nvidia also they are better for CG. But yes the nouveau driver works very well too.10:35
dskfli actually prefer nouveau over the proprietary driver10:37
dskfli remember the days when it was a pain to set up X .. and multiple monitors and all that10:38
dskflnow is just install .. go to settings and Display10:38
dskflthat's it10:38
dskfldon't remember the last time i opened xorg.conf and i guess that's the way it should be10:39
AienaWell I noticed atleast for me when it comes to blender etc. the proprietary driver has support for more things but I think the npuveau driver is probably more stable.10:42

Carlinhosis it possible to have indicator messages back in 13.04? i miss it greatly.22:18
Unit193No supported way, no.22:19
=== duelle is now known as due11e
Carlinhoswhat would an unsupported way be like?22:19
due11eHi there, when I booted my machine (Xubuntu 12.04) all window borders were gone and I couldn't enter any text in gui elements from the OS (Terminal: no, Firefox: yes)22:20
due11eIs there any way to get the borders back? I cant remember having done some stuff that could have led to something like that ..22:21
holsteindue11e: i would try as another user. if things are OK as the new user, the issue is in the /home of the user that wont boot properly22:21
Belial`anyone using compton as a compositor notice xfce-terminal has a weird redraw when minimizing when using fade options?22:22
Unit193Carlinhos: None supported here, but I've heard of some that try packages from quantal or precise.22:22
Carlinhosso i can just grab a .deb from quantal and install it?22:23
holsteinCarlinhos: that is the unsupported scenario22:23
due11eholstein: seems to work with another user .. Are there any files that I could copy over (or change) to fix that?22:24
Sysidue11e: rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions on the broken user, select to not not save session after selecting "log out" from main menu22:24
Unit193Carlinhos: http://paste.openstack.org/show/mtg1YMxyGGYcwrIZcdI1 and libindicator7_0.5.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb for example may work... >_>22:25
Carlinhosi'll give it a try, thank you22:25
holsteindue11e: what i usually do is, move all config files out of the /home.. reboot and test.. then i put back what i need.. they are hidden.. .mozilla for example, if i wanted to keep my firefix config22:26
holsteindue11e: but, Sysi 's suggestion will likely do the trick. i didnt see that above ^^22:26
due11eholstein: Sysi: I just cleared the .cache and now it works fine again ;). Thank you two!22:28
