[00:29] <rdp1976> hello
[00:29] <rdp1976> can anyone here tell me how to configure a ViewSonic HDMI 1920x1080 external monitor in Xubuntu?
[00:30] <rdp1976> I've spent about 20 hours over the past 3 weeks trying to get this working and I'm at the point now where I'm ready to abandon Xubuntu completely because of something as dumb as my external screen resolution
[00:30] <xubuntu358> WOW, i am amazed by how good the media experience is with 13.04 !!!
[00:30] <rdp1976> right now the HIGHEST I can set it is 1024x768... which is both ugly and annoying
[00:31] <xubuntu358> I'm really making this my main OS!
[00:31] <rdp1976> last chance for me before I go back to windows
[00:31] <rdp1976> anyone???
[00:31] <xubuntu358> This is soooooooo good.
[00:31] <rdp1976> Not for me it isn't
[00:31] <xubuntu358> Why, what happened?
[00:32] <rdp1976> it's more annoying than someone shoving a fork into my eyeball
[00:32] <rdp1976> my external screen max resolution is 1024x768
[00:32] <rdp1976> i need it to be 1920x1080
[00:32] <rdp1976> I've posted a million posts in 2 different forums, and nobody can tell me how to sort it out
[00:32] <rdp1976> its almost laughable
[00:32] <xubuntu358> External screen for what kind of device? Laptop?
[00:32] <rdp1976> this is why people like shit like Windows
[00:33] <rdp1976> it took windows no time at all to figure out the max resolution of my external screen
[00:33] <rdp1976> Xubuntu has no idea
[00:33] <rdp1976> and Xubuntu users don't seem to be able to help me
[00:33] <xubuntu358> Try downloading Linix drivers for your graphics card?
[00:33] <rdp1976> yes, Dell XPS 13 (2013) Ultrabook
[00:34] <rdp1976> its not a graphics card problem
[00:34] <xubuntu358> It may be..
[00:34] <rdp1976> if it was, the resolution on the laptop screen wouldn't be 1920x1080
[00:34] <rdp1976> and it is
[00:34] <rdp1976> CMN 13" screen (laptop) resolution = 1920x1080 ... looks great
[00:35] <rdp1976> External ViewSonic HDMI monitor is connected to minidisplay port DP1
[00:35] <rdp1976> max resolution 1024x768 .... massive and annoying
[00:37] <rdp1976> ok, goodbye Xubuntu! back to windows 8
[00:37] <rdp1976> disappointed in the Linux community
[00:37] <knome> rdp1976, i'm sorry for your 8 minutes of misery in this channel
[00:38] <xubuntu358> Dude, if you're an enthusiast and are really interested in making it work, you won't quit for such a short time.
[00:38] <xubuntu358> Yes, Linux could be messed up sometimes, but there are countless benefits, compared to Windows...
[04:18] <xubuntu952> quit
[04:18] <xubuntu952> exit
[04:19] <xubuntu952> how do I get out
[04:20] <Unit193> /quit
[04:20] <xubuntu952> OK don't really want to quit just wanted to know how
[04:21] <xubuntu952> total newbie here
[04:21] <xubuntu952> I need to learn how to use this chat
[04:22] <xubuntu952> I want to put xubuntu on a Dell already running Ubuntu 8.04
[04:22] <Unit193> OK, though it is webchat, you could use Xchat if you prefer.  Best thing to do would be trying it live, see how it goes.
[04:22] <xubuntu952> apparently it isn't powerful enough for latest version of Ubuntu
[04:23] <xubuntu952> what is Xchat?
[04:23] <Unit193> Makes sense.
[04:24] <xubuntu952> I guess I need to get a USB thumb drive and download Xubuntu to it first -- need the latest version , I already downloaded the latest
[04:25] <xubuntu952> LTS version which is 12.?
[04:25] <xubuntu952> I guess I could just transfer that to the thumb drive -- easy enough
[04:25] <xubuntu952> just don't know what to do next
[04:26] <Unit193> LTS is 12.04, yes.  Well, you use unetbootin or dd to copy it over, check your BIOS is setup to boot from a USB device, and try it out.
[04:26] <Unit193> !usb
[04:27] <xubuntu952> I want to install it to the HD
[04:27] <xubuntu952> just replace Ubuntu with Xubuntu
[04:28] <xubuntu952> keep that old Dell running
[04:28] <xubuntu952> I also have a somewhat newer Dell which may support Ubuntu's latest version, but have to get it set up first
[04:29] <xubuntu952> right now it only has one drive with just Windows XP on it
[04:29] <xubuntu952> I want to put in another drive, install Ubuntu on it, and then sort out a boot manager
[04:34] <SunStar> if you have windows, the simplest way to make a USB installer for xubuntu is Linux Live USB Creator: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
[04:34] <Unit193> Indeed, +3 at least. :P
[10:25] <ducktool> hi, i want to get my wifi to work from a live cd under a macbook pro. Can someone help me?
[10:27] <TheSheep> ducktool: what's the problem exactly?
[10:28] <ducktool> that i cannot get wifi to work
[10:28] <TheSheep> !doesn't work
[10:28] <TheSheep> what are you doing exactly and what errors are you getting?
[10:29] <ducktool> i click in the corner, add the ssid with password and then it won't connect
[10:30] <ducktool> the icons for wifi stay grey too
[10:31] <TheSheep> if you do 'ifconfig -a' in the terminal, does it list your wifi interface?
[10:32] <TheSheep> also, which version of ubuntu?
[10:33] <ducktool> xubuntu 13.04
[10:33] <ducktool> it does list something, but not the wifi interface i think
[10:34] <ducktool> what should be there for text?
[10:37] <ducktool> i see link, inet addr, inet6 addr, UP loopback, RX packets, TX packets, collisions, RX bytes and TX bytes.
[10:42] <TheSheep> ducktool: it should list 'lo' and somthing like 'wlan0' or 'eth0'
[10:42] <TheSheep> ducktool: if you have a wired network interface, it should be there too
[10:43] <ducktool> no, not a single one of them
[10:44] <TheSheep> ducktool: just lo?
[10:44] <ducktool> there is not cat cable option, because i have a ultra book
[10:44] <TheSheep> ducktool: how about 'iwconfig'?
[10:45] <ducktool> no lo, only wit ifconfig -s
[10:45] <ducktool> lo  no wireless connection
[10:45] <ducktool> extensions, sorry
[10:46] <ducktool> lo no wireless extensions
[10:46] <TheSheep> ok, so your kernel doesn't see the wireless device
[10:46] <TheSheep> by the way, I assume you already checked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook ?
[10:46] <Sysi> I'd start with getting apple usb ethernet adapter
[10:47] <TheSheep> Sysi: he wants wireless
[10:47] <Sysi> gonna be messy with apt-offline even if you can get the wlan chip to work with ndiswrapper or something
[10:50] <ducktool> never heard of a USB adapter for internet
[10:50] <ducktool> my pc is not listen in that help link
[10:50] <Sysi> http://store.apple.com/us_smb_78313/product/MC704ZM/A/apple-usb-ethernet-adapter
[10:51] <ducktool> i have MacBookPro10,1
[10:52] <Sysi> try if »lspci | grep -i wireless« lists your wlan chip
[10:52] <ducktool> hmmm, that would be easier does it
[10:54] <ducktool> no, no output with lspci
[10:58] <ducktool> lspci without options does list something like Broadcom, does that help?
[10:59] <ducktool> should i write those down?
[11:04] <bekks> ducktool: lspci -nn | grep -iA2 net | pastebinit
[11:04] <bekks> !pastebinit ducktool
[11:05] <bekks> !pastebinit | ducktool
[11:05] <Sysi> pastebinit is not gonna help on machine that lacks internet connection
[11:08] <ducktool> Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:16a3] (rev 10)                               and....
[11:11] <ducktool> SD Host controller  [0805] Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM57765 Memory card reader {14e4:16bc) (rev 0)                                          and....
[11:13] <ducktool> Netwerk controler [0280]: Broadcom corporation BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4331] (rev 02)
[11:13] <ducktool> thatś all
[11:17] <Sysi> huh, 4331 should work with ubuntu, I ran 12.10 with that chip without issues
[11:18] <ducktool> let me check on a typo
[11:19] <ducktool> no no typo
[11:20] <Sysi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1966236 maybe you should try this, but you need to download packages manually or get internet some other way (like tether from phone)
[11:20] <Sysi> !offline

[22:56] <filaz> Hello
[22:58] <knome> !hi | filaz
[23:03] <filaz> Sorry it's the first time for me in this irc, some body can help me to know about ubuntu,something that explains the structure of ubuntu, which is stored in system folders and understand
[23:03] <holstein> filaz: i suggest getting a live CD and look around in the filesystem
[23:04] <knome> filaz, do you have a specific question in mind?
[23:08] <filaz> just want to know about the strcture of the system, because sometimes necessary for troubleshooting,and not exactly accurate that stores each folder and would like to know a little more about it
[23:08] <knome> !filaz | filesystem
[23:09] <knome> umh
[23:09] <knome> !filesystem | filaz
[23:11] <filaz> thanks I'll read, I look for something like abc allow me to understand the structure of the system and know in order to be able to solve problems
[23:13] <knome> filaz, generally, touching files when you're not sure what you're doing is not recommended - understanding the filesystem structure might help a bit in that, but it's far from waterproof
[23:17] <filaz> esa es la idea, conocer un poco para saber que estoy haciendo o que riesgos puede haber, a veces hay muchos tutoriales pero no explican la razón de algunas cosas
[23:17] <filaz> that's the idea, learn a little to know I'm doing or what risks may be, sometimes there are many tutorials but do not explain the reason for some things
[23:18] <filaz> thanks for your recommendation, have a good day
[23:19] <filaz> knome and ubottu thanks
[23:19] <knome> np.
