[07:06] <xubuntu904> Hi, when I start ubuntu (xubuntu) on laptop screen on my laptop becomes much darker. This effect is permanent – to bring the light back I must reset BIOS settings to default – can someone help me how to solve this problem, pls?
[07:07] <xubuntu904> This effect started straight away in installation process
[07:15] <baizon> xubuntu904: what hardware specs do you have?
[07:32] <xubuntu904> sry, problem fixed - that was GRUB problem
[07:32] <baizon> :)
[07:32] <xubuntu904> sudo sed "s/\(GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=\)\"\"/\1\"acpi_­osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor\"/" /etc/default/grub -i
[07:33] <xubuntu904> that worked
[07:33] <cfhowlett> xubuntu904, nicely done
[08:06] <cowbacon> Hi, I just wanted to say 'Thank you' to all the developers of Xubuntu. I recently tried Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu minimal install + download XFCE manually and I just gotta say "WoW". You guys did one awesome job. I love Xubuntu
[11:46] <earl2> I'd like to code a get-rich-quick web app with subscribers with someone (on the lean startup model, i.e. with a small lean startup company behind it).  I do code.
[11:49] <lderan> earl2: this is a support channel :)
[11:51] <earl2> lderan - I thought it was just general-interest chat channel on IRC :)
[11:52] <lderan> there is #xubuntu-offtopic for non-support related matters, but i don't know how successful you will be in getting interest
[14:20] <supernoob> Hello. I need to know if a cpu frequency can be easily set automatically at every bootup. I want it to always run at lowest possible step. I know cpufrequtils works and sets it, but can that be easily automated by adding a line of code somewhere. Can I make it run very early during boot.. Also, I cant find the question mark, lol. Thanks in advance!
[14:22] <koegs> supernoob: i think /etc/rc.local would be a good place for hat
[14:22] <koegs> *that
[14:23] <GridCube> supernoob: wont your bios have a clock setting?
[14:23] <GridCube> some have
[14:28] <supernoob> Thank you both. As I understand, simply putting the command in /etc/rc.local will be as if I went to Terminal and typed it manually at every bootup (questionmark) And the bios setting is very relevant to me since the bios seems to have jump between the actual MHz of each core and 2x that. Which means overheating. And I cant edit it (thats hp) and flashes have not solved it. So I need an in-OS workaround. If /etc/rc.local does it, 
[14:30] <xubuntu119> hello?
[14:31] <baizon> hi xubuntu119
[15:14] <craigbass1976> I've got some weird packet issues.  I'm only having problems with one PC, using different NICs, switch ports, and cables.  Same stuff on other boxes has no trouble.  A livecd in this box also has no trouble -- I'm on Xubuntu 12.04
[17:27] <xubuntu083> Hello, I installed Xubuntu 12.10 as a VM under Hyper-V in windows 8 pro 64. The installation works fine the only problem being I have no wifi internet access. I didn't try direct cable connection but I really want wifi. I created the external virtual switch. My other windows VM easily connect to internet but when I repeat the same steps with Ubuntu, I have no luck. It is my first time using linux, may be I missed something obvio
[17:29] <GridCube> that would be a hyper-v problem wouldnt it?
[17:30] <bekks> xubuntu083: You cant directly use wifi in Hyper-V.
[17:30] <bekks> xubuntu083: You can present a virtualized (cabled) interface to the vm, which in fact uses the host wifi connection.
[17:34] <xubuntu083> That's what I do to get wifi internet from windows VM in Hyper-V (external virtual switch) and I do connect the xubuntu VM to that switch but it won't see internet unlike my windows VM... :(
[17:37] <Sysi> reboot the guest adn if possible the host too
[17:44] <xubuntu083> Yes I did reboot more than once...
[17:46] <GridCube> xubuntu083: maybe change the virtual network adapter in hyper-v
[17:48] <bekks> xubuntu083: Are the network settings correct, in the guest?
[18:05] <xubuntu083> The guest only sees a wired network connection with automatic IPv4 and IPv6 detection
[18:07] <bekks> xubuntu083: Yes. Just like I told you initially.
[18:08] <xubuntu083> But it still won't access internet
[18:09] <bekks> xubuntu083: Did you check the IP settings in the guest?
[18:11] <xubuntu083> IPv4: automatic (DHCP) and IPv6: automatic
[18:11] <GridCube> that should be
[18:11] <GridCube> xubuntu083: try changing the virtual adapter on the hyper-v setting for that virtual machine
[18:12] <bekks> xubuntu083: So which IP does the guest have?
[18:12] <bekks> xubuntu083: Thats what I mean by "check the address settings".
[18:14] <xubuntu083> it has no IPv4 address and the IPv6 address is 2002:b8a0:9b24:0:1077:d413:49f7:c1c6/64
[18:16] <xubuntu083> there is only one possible virtual adapter on Hyper-V as far as I can see...
[18:17] <bekks> xubuntu083: So there is no configured IP address. Fix it, and you will reach the internet.
[18:30] <xubuntu083> OK, I manualy entered the ipv4 address, netmask, gateway, and DNS server. It seems to accept what I enter cause I can see those values in connection information but I still cannot connect with firefox.
[18:34] <bekks> "it accepts it" does not mean it makes any sense.
[18:34] <bekks> Which IP/netmask/gateway did you enter?
[18:34] <bekks> And which networking mode do you use for the interface in the settings of hyper-v?
[18:35] <xubuntu083> the one I found with ipconfig /all
[18:35] <bekks> The same IP?
[18:36] <bekks> Ten it cant work, since its a duplicate IP address then.
[18:36] <xubuntu083> networking mode??? external
[18:36] <bekks> So finally tell us the settings.
[18:36] <xubuntu083> I'm suppose to make up an IPv4 address?
[18:37] <bekks> Of course.
[18:37] <bekks> How do you expect networking to be working? :)
[18:38] <xubuntu083> Sorry, rooky in this side... I thought it used the host address since it was accessing internet through it.
[18:38] <bekks> Thats a duplicate IP and will inhibit internet access from the host, too. :)
[18:48] <xubuntu274> Sorry for leaving like that, I restarted my xubuntu VM and I got a bleu screen in windows when trying internet in the VM
[18:50] <bekks> xubuntu274: Then you have an issue for ##windows
[18:50] <xubuntu274> never ends...
[19:03] <xubuntu274> I changed the IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.10.1. Same for the gateway. It is still not working but I least, firefox take a lot more time to tell me...
[19:06] <bekks> xubuntu274: And which IP and which gateway does your host have?
[19:07] <bekks> You cant randomly select addresses. :)
[19:11] <xubuntu274> Oh wait... from the website whatismyip I get 184.160.155.36 but it is nowhere to be found in ipconfig which gives me IPv4:192.168.1.1 for the Ethernet card.. I think I'm confused now...
[19:15] <xubuntu274> oups IPv4:192.168.1.106
[19:18] <bekks> Dont mix external WAN IP and internal LAN IP.
[19:18] <bekks> Please answer my question above.
[19:21] <xubuntu274> Host: IPv4 192.168.1.106 and Gateway 192.168.1.1
[19:22] <bekks> So 192.168.10.... will never work in your guest.
[19:22] <bekks> Assign an IP from the 192.168.1.0 network.
[19:27] <xubuntu274> I take 192.168.1.0 for both IPv4 and gateway or only IPv4?
[19:27] <bekks> No.
[19:27] <bekks> 192.168.1.0 is a network address. Dont use it as IP address for host/guest
[19:28] <bekks> 192.168.1.1 is your gateway, .106 is your host. Choose another.
[19:28] <bekks> Ansd set the same gateway as on your host.
[19:28] <xubuntu274> OK then on the VM I used IPv4 192.168.1.0 et Gateway 192.168.1.1 but firefox cannot connect to server... may be I should reboot...
[19:28] <bekks> No.
[19:28] <bekks> Set a correct IP address. Do not use 192.168.1.0
[19:31] <xubuntu274> Ok then I don't know how to assign an IP from the 192.168.1.0 network... not sure what it means...
[19:32] <bekks> Choose from these: 192.168.1.2-105 and 192.168.107-254
[19:34] <Sysi> if xubuntu says it's connected you have address correctly, I'd try dhcp and then ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
[19:35] <xubuntu274> My god!!! is works now!!!! on the vm IPv4 192.168.1.11 and gateway 192.168.1.1..... I don't know how to thank you!
[19:35] <Sysi> (reading more backlog, dhcp failed)
[19:36] <bekks> Sysi: ack.
[20:03] <rconway> hello
[20:08] <TDO|Aquina> hy
[20:09] <xubuntu274> Well bekks... Live long and prosper! you made my day!
[20:10] <bekks> xubuntu274: You're welcome, earthling ;)
[21:02] <bkerensa> Does Xubuntu not use lightdm?
[21:02] <knome> uses
[21:19] <bkerensa> knome: hmm the login looks significantly different from the lightdm login Ubuntu has
[21:19] <Sysi> it's called theming ;)
[21:20] <knome> bkerensa, that ^
[21:32] <bkerensa> knome: how come on Ubuntu if one installs xubuntu-desktop the lightdm theming then looks Xubuntu + Awesomesauce but not when just a clean install of Xubuntu alone?
[21:33] <knome> i'm not sure i follow
[21:34] <Sysi> awesomesauce is opinion dependant (I don't know what you mean it looks/works like)
[21:34] <Unit193> knome: Basically, "I don't like the default theme."
[21:34] <Sysi> in lightdm you can change the greeter and the background image, separately
[21:35] <Sysi> in gtk-greeter you can also change the theme it uses
[21:35] <Unit193> bkerensa: Install unity-greeter and you'll be fine.
[21:36] <bkerensa> Unit193: why can there not be xubuntu-greeter
[21:36] <bkerensa> ;p
[21:36] <knome> bkerensa, patches are welcome.
[21:36] <bkerensa> heh
[21:36] <bkerensa> :)
[21:36] <bkerensa> I love that phrase
[21:37] <Sysi> unity greeter has some downsides, for example it's unusable if same machine has 300 users
[21:38] <bkerensa> Unit193: hah unity-greeter also installs every scope and webapps
[21:39] <bkerensa> pfft
[21:39] <Unit193> Part of the reason it's junk.
[21:46] <SonikkuAmerica> Junk for Xubuntu users anyway :)
[21:47] <SonikkuAmerica> Who needs unity-greeter when there's lightdm-gtk-greeter?
[21:49] <Sysi> I wouldn't need lightdm if tty autologin wasn't such a mess without sysv
[21:51] <Sysi> (truth be told it was a mess with centos 6 and sysv)
