[00:01] <xubuntu220> a little help? I installed xubuntu 13.04 in Eeepc 1005P. But the screen seemed too dark. I've tried power-manage-plugins, but it doesn't work.
[00:03] <xubuntu220> and the keyborad combination Fn+F6 can't switch to the brightest
[00:05] <GridCube> xubuntu220, yeah, that usually doesnt work
[00:05] <GridCube> try using the xgamma program from a terminal
[00:06] <xubuntu220> may i ask how?
[00:06] <GridCube> open a terminal, press meta-t, and type: xgamma -gamma 1.5
[00:07] <xubuntu220> ok, let me try this, thanks
[00:13] <xubuntu220> well, the desktop did seemed brighter now, but it looks strange still.
[00:13] <GridCube> yes, xgamma aint really the best option
[00:13] <GridCube> but i dont know how to get real brigthness
[00:14] <GridCube> maybe check your video card model using lspci | grep "VGA" and google it for others with your same problem
[00:15] <xubuntu220> My laptop is a netbook, vga is builded inside the Intel CPU N450?
[00:19] <GridCube> xubuntu220, run lspci | grep "VGA" on a terminal and you will have the model name :)
[00:21] <xubuntu220> VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Aton processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller
[00:22] <xubuntu220> it showed the information above.
[00:22] <GridCube> :)
[00:22] <GridCube> search that on the interwebs and see if anyone found a solution to brightness
[00:23] <xubuntu220> ok :)

[01:51] <xubuntu526> i can read... it takes me to some kind of page that says index of
[01:52] <bazhang>  xubuntu526: Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" »
[01:52] <bazhang> xubuntu526, See Above
[01:54] <xubuntu526> i have tryed to put that in the terminal it does not work for me
[01:58] <David-A> xubuntu526: "it wont let me call anyone" means you have it installed already i presume. right? the problem may be somewhere in the skype settings.
[01:59] <David-A> oh, come back...
[02:00] <David-A> xubuntu567: are you the same nick as the previous xubuntu526 ? (with the skype problem?)
[02:01] <David-A> oh, you too...
[05:00] <tdignan> So, the latest ubuntu packages for xfce4-session have a segfault bug.
[05:00] <tdignan> I've built and installed from git using checkinstall to fix this.
[05:00] <tdignan> It seems like this has been a problem for at least a month. How does one go about submitting a new package?
[05:01] <tdignan> I did use checkinstall...
[05:02] <tdignan> http://askubuntu.com/questions/292417/xfce4-session-segfault-suspend-and-hibernate-not-working https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10068
[05:02] <tdignan> my system works now, of course
[05:02] <tdignan> but it was crashing a LOT before.
[10:12] <onr> anyone updated chromium package yesterday?
[10:14] <Unit193> Not that I know of, still stale.
[10:14] <onr> IIRC there wasn't window title bar, now there is
[10:14] <Unit193> !info chromium-browser
[10:14] <Unit193> Guess I'm wrong.
[10:15] <onr> if you haven't updated recently, could you tell me if there's a window title bar?
[10:17] <koegs> onr: same here
[10:18] <koegs> seems they have re-enabled the option, just deactivate it in the settings
[10:18] <Unit193> onr: Can't help, not a user.
[10:19] <onr> koegs: ah, didn't notice. thanks
[13:32] <GridCube> hi
[13:44] <cfhowlett> GridCube, hey
[13:45] <GridCube> :) hi cfhowlett
[13:58] <SuperLag> Is there a way to sort of "reset" the UI for Xubuntu? I've got ~ on a separated volume and it's been moved between Ubuntu versions, and a couple other distros as well. This last move... some of the icons on the top panel have a background, for lack of a better word. When I'm expecting to see the icons with the panel menu bar behind it, I see a white background behind the icon instead.
[14:01] <tych0> SuperLag: I suppose you could try to remove ~/.config/xfce4 and see where that gets you
[14:01] <tych0> there's probably some other stuff floating around to, but that would be a start
[14:15] <Sysi> you can't do that while logged in to xfce, you need to press Ctrl Alt F1 and use tty (Ctrl Alt F7 to get back)
[14:15] <Sysi> otherly xfce settings daemon writes everything back on logout
[14:16] <Sysi> *press c-a-f1 on login window
[14:39] <SuperLag> Yep. Stopped lightdm beforehand, as well.
[14:39] <SuperLag> That did the trick. Obviously I have to redo some configs, but I'm okay with that.
[14:54] <slimjimflim> hi, my wifi icon in the task bar has been saying 'wireless is disabled' for a while, so i've been using iwlist iwconfig and dhclient to connect, but every few minutes, i lose my ip and have to run iwconfig and dhclient again.
[14:54] <slimjimflim> does anyone know how to fix this?

[14:55] <slimjimflim> sorry if that was spammy, just got disconnected again
[14:56] <slimjimflim> running 12.04.2
[16:51] <virender> hello
[16:52] <virender> i wanted to know that how to install xubuntu on vista
[16:53] <GridCube> xubuntu and vista are both operative systems
[16:53] <GridCube> you cant install one over the other
[16:54] <GridCube> if you want to install xubuntu alongside vista download the iso, burn it, boot from the cd and while installing choose to install alongside the other OS, if you want to replace vista with xubuntu choose that option, remember to always backup your data
[17:43] <Sysi> well there are virtual machines
[18:48] <LaitEntier> Hello, I have some sound issues with xubuntu 12.04. I have read !sound. My soundcard is recognized. Does anyone have the time to help me out?
[18:50] <torax> Could you tell what kind of issues you are having?
[18:55] <torax> i really need to enable join/quit on this channel
[18:56] <bullgard4> torax:  Try the command '/quit'.
[18:56] <bazhang> bullgard4, thats not helping
[18:56] <bazhang> torax, which client
[19:01] <torax> irssi, ofc ;)
[19:01] <bazhang> !quietirssi
[19:02] <bazhang> so if thats set already, then reverse it; you may wish to ask in #irssi as well
[19:05] <torax> yea, I ignored them because joins and quits usually filled the whole channel
[20:53] <Guest21556> im getting ready to do an installation, hoping to install to a flash drive. so i can boot the flash drive from bios boot options, not from lilo/grub
[20:57] <knome> boot from bios boot options? i'm thinking you're mixing up two different things
[20:58] <Guest21556> no, dont want it for security. i.e. unplug flash drive when i go home, puter useless.
[20:58] <Guest21556> i mean, do want it for security....
[20:59] <knome> right. but bios boot options only let you select the device, you will need grub anyway (though it doesn't need to be visible (for a very long time))
[20:59] <Guest21556> yea, i put grub on sdh
[20:59] <knome> but sure, you can install grub to the usb disk
[20:59] <Guest21556> :)
[21:00] <Guest21556> it's cp'ing filez.. :) fingerz crossed
[21:00] <knome> good luck.
[21:01] <Guest21556> hoping it is faster than from cd/dvd
[21:02] <knome> it should be faster
[21:08] <Guest21556> kewel
