[04:26] <nonuby> changing Style in Appearence has no affect, my bar has a light background rather than usual black. struggling to remember how I fcuked this up
[04:27] <kingnick42> This your panel?
[06:24] <xubuntu103> Is there anybody who is able to answer a question concerning a .conf file?
[08:29] <Gooman24> anyone around that could help with an install issue?
[08:32] <baizon> Gooman24: and the issue is?
[08:32] <mike5> Hi, all
[08:33] <mike5> I'm looking into installin xubuntu on a computer which has a CD-rom not DVD. So I'm looking at alternatives to the default ISO
[08:33] <mike5> Network installation or something similar.
[08:33] <Gooman24> I get the live CD booted and click on try and then I get a desktop...
[08:34] <Gooman24> the wifi is not working so I got to the restricted drivers section...
[08:34] <Gooman24> and enable the wifi and then I get what looks like a stack dump?
[08:34] <Gooman24> nothing I can really understand and I am not really a linux noob
[08:35] <Gooman24> So I tried again.... this time I plugged in a network cable and just went right to the install... same thing
[08:35] <Gooman24> not exaclty the same stuff though
[08:35] <Gooman24> honestly I have no idea where to even start looking on this one
[08:35] <baizon> mike5: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[08:36] <baizon> then you can just install xubuntu afterwards
[08:37] <baizon> Gooman24: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures
[08:37] <baizon> Gooman24: check syslog for errors, this will help a lot resolving the issue
[08:38] <Gooman24> there might be something I am missing here but how do I check the syslog if both the live enviroment and the install are crashing?
[08:38] <baizon> Gooman24: you mean at boot?
[08:39] <baizon> you just wrote that you can log in into the livecd environment
[08:39] <Gooman24> I am trying to do an install on a machine... when I start the install it crashes... when I am booted to the live cd and try to turn on the wifi it crashes
[08:39] <Gooman24> the HHD is blank
[08:39] <Gooman24> *HDD
[08:39] <baizon> Gooman24: yes
[08:40] <baizon> open a terminal and write dmesg
[08:40] <baizon> and check what output it gives
[08:40] <mike5> Baizon: So the ide is to install some light-weight ubuntu variant first, then change the location of the repositories and then what?
[08:40] <Gooman24> I am still missing something here.  I am not sure how to open a terminal on a crashed machine
[08:40] <Gooman24> that has no installed OS
[08:40] <mike5> is there a bit better description of the whole procedure?
[08:41] <baizon> mike5: the link i posted gives you a minimal ubuntu installation without any DE
[08:41] <baizon> only terminal
[08:41] <baizon> then you can set up your internet connection and just install the xubuntu desktop for example
[08:41] <baizon> Gooman24: the whole system crashes?
[08:41] <Gooman24> yes
[08:42] <baizon> Gooman24: well then i would recommend to check your memory
[08:42] <baizon> on start there is a option for testing memory
[08:42] <Gooman24> I was looking for that but on the 13.xx DVD I downloaded it doesn't seem to be there
[08:42] <Gooman24> also the live envirment works fine till I try to do anything network related
[08:42] <mike5> install how? I'm not too familiar with over-the netwrok install. usually there is a CD image you can doenload which has everything set up.
[08:43] <mike5> I'll seartch the Internet,
[08:43] <lderan> does anything else cause it to crash or just when you enable networking Gooman24?
[08:43] <Gooman24> just when I enable netowrking
[08:43] <baizon> sorry i'm afk for 15 min
[08:43] <baizon> have to go
[08:44] <lderan> does it give any information out when it crashes?
[08:44] <Gooman24> well basically its all letters and numbers... looks like a kernel panic sorta
[08:44] <Gooman24> only with no discernable errors of any kind
[08:44] <Gooman24> full black screen
[08:45] <lderan> shall look into it for you
[08:46] <Gooman24> if there was even a small straw to grasp I would be on google but I have no idea where to even start
[08:47] <Gooman24> I have spent days in years past toughing out problems but I had some straw to grasp at
[08:47] <lderan> it looks like it could be the bug 1072518
[08:47] <lderan> or something similiar
[08:48] <lderan> have you tried this guide http://bigbrovar.aoizora.org/index.php/2011/04/30/turning-wireless-on-causes-laptop-to-freeze-on-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-my-work-around/ ?
[08:49] <Gooman24> hmm looks interesting... I know it is a broadcom issue
[08:50] <Gooman24> it occurs when ever it tries to load the proprietary drivers
[08:50] <mike5> I see 12.10 installation ISO is under 700MB. I guess upgrae from 12.10 to 13.04 is pretty straight forward?=
[08:51] <lderan> mike5 yup the upgrade is simple, you can try out the live image before if you want to check it out first :)
[08:51] <Gooman24> mike if you use the ubuntu minimal install that was mentioned earlier then you get a basic install with command line
[08:51] <Gooman24> then you basically plug in an ethernet cable that has DHCP
[08:51] <mike5> I have checked it out, thank. Now I want to install it on my mothers PC :)
[08:51] <Gooman24> and the line to get you to xubuntu is something like sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[08:52] <mike5> and see what she thinks :)
[08:52] <mike5> Gooman: That regarding my previous question about how to install xubuntu from minimal-install image?
[08:53] <Gooman24> yes
[08:54] <mike5> and that is available from the configured ubuntu repositories?
[08:54] <Gooman24> you should be able to just plug in an ethernet cable to your avarage home router and the ping google.com or something to see if you are online
[08:54] <Gooman24> then once you are if I recall correctly the xubuntu desktop can be installed with that command or the like
[08:57] <Gooman24> I just googled it... the command I provided was correct
[09:19] <baizon> mike5: xubuntu or lubuntu
[09:19] <baizon> that will do it :)
[09:19] <baizon> lubuntu is more windows-like
[09:42] <mike5> baizon: thanks. I'll check lubuntu as well.
[09:43] <mike5> xubuntu looked a bit more cute from the screenshots.
[10:03] <baizon> mike5: it is imho :)
[10:09] <mike5> But their installation ISO is under 700MB, which is quite important for me at the moment.
[10:10] <mike5> So, maybe something for the packager to consider for the next release....
[10:22] <knome> mike5, i understand, but otoh, feel free to try to it everything on a cd yourself
[12:01] <deleve> bgardner, thank you 4 resolving my problem the other time i visit here!
[12:01] <bgardner> deleve: My pleasure!
[12:07] <A_J> two questions. First i would like to make two programs run on startup (Deluge and Sabnzbd) and ssecond would like to bypass the login screen altogether( i have just one user)
[12:08] <koegs> A_J: autologin http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1204-precise/
[12:09] <koegs> autostart http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.de/2011/12/add-application-to-xfcexubuntu-session.html
[12:11] <A_J> ty koegs the autostart is the same command i would enter on the terminal yes ?
[12:12] <koegs> yes
[12:17] <xubuntu202> hello everyone! I have a little problem installing xubuntu 13.04 via dvd on my old desktop (win2000): in the cabinet I have only a cd reader and if I select the boot from cd it doesn't recognise the dvd. now I have an external usb dvd Reader/writer too. so I tried to boot from the usb (both ZIP and FDD) but still i doesn't get the xubuntu dvd. do you have any suggetions?
[12:18] <A_J> Thank you very much koegs both worked :)
[12:18] <cc_INC> Did you re-arranged the boot order at BIOS xubuntu202?
[12:18] <xubuntu202> yes, many times
[12:19] <cc_INC> Hmm...does you cd-drive work in the current OS you have installed on the box?
[12:19] <xubuntu202> yes
[12:22] <cc_INC> Have you tried booting with acpi = off
[12:23] <cc_INC> Perhaps your systems ACPI is not supported....just thinking out loud..
[12:23] <xubuntu202> I don't know, I must try again! thanks cc_INC
[12:24] <elfy> xubuntu202: if it sees the cd but no the dvd you could try with 12.04 rather than 13.04 - as that fits on a cd
[12:26] <xubuntu202> @cc_INC where may I find this ACPI feature?
[12:27] <elfy> xubuntu202: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Changing_the_CD.27s_Default_Boot_Options
[12:28] <elfy> you want F6
[12:28] <Pici> 70
[12:28] <cc_INC> F6 at boot
[12:28] <elfy> but if it's not seeing the dvd reader and you've only got the cd to use - try 12.04
[12:28] <cc_INC> But try getting 12.04 on a CD
[12:28] <cc_INC> What elfy said
[12:29] <cc_INC> Windows 2000 is on the box. Is it an older machine?
[12:30] <GridCube> if it has w2k it probably is
[12:31]  * cfhowlett ... 2000?!
[12:31] <xubuntu202> yes it is... AMD Athlon 650Mhz with 384 of RAM
[12:32] <xubuntu202> win2000 recognizes the external DVD. I could even make a DVD. the thing is that it doesn't get recognised in the booting system
[12:36] <braulio> Hello everyone. Can anyone give me a help? I'm just starting with Linux and I installed the Xubuntu 13.04 on it. Everything is working perfectly but I have a problem that is already known for the EeePC PXB1001: The internal microphone does not work. Is there a simple way to fix it?
[12:41] <GridCube> xubuntu202: you might have to use PLoP
[12:42] <GridCube> !plop
[12:43] <GridCube> xubuntu202: http://www.plop.at/en/whatisplop.html
[12:44] <GridCube> braulio: if you found out its a known problem, then in the same place there should be a workaround
[12:45] <GridCube> if theres not, then theres probably not a workaround
[12:55] <GridCube> braulio: according to the internet the microphone should work on any kernel past 3
[12:56] <Sysi> check your pulseaudio settings
[12:56] <braulio> GridCube: Hi, I have this exact same problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/689258 apparently one guy fixed it... but since Iḿ just beggining with Linux they are speaking in a language that I'm not familiar with yet.
[12:56] <GridCube> braulio: yes, he is saying he updated his kernel, but you already have a much much newer kernel that the one he is using
[12:57] <GridCube> do check your setting to see if you dont have the microphone mutted
[12:57] <GridCube> see in pavucontrol, or in alsamixer that thats not the case
[12:58] <braulio> well, when I check on the volumes it is not muted, and it doesn't seem like the mic is not installed because it responds when I clap in front of it, but the input is just too weak. I checked the volumes and it is all in the max.
[12:59] <GridCube> braulio: did you check in alsamixer?
[12:59] <braulio> I checked also the "alsamixer" thing, and raised all the volumes. Is there another place where I should check it?
[12:59] <GridCube> pavucontrol
[12:59] <Toa> Hello! I use a version of Xubuntu 13.10 on July 22. I have the following problem: Indicator plugin does not work correctly. Adjusting the sound is not active. Screenshot - http://rghost.ru/47590052/image.png
[13:00] <GridCube> Toa: :) care to report in #xubuntu-devel please?
[13:00] <cfhowlett> Toa, 13.10 is beta.  no support here.
[13:00] <cfhowlett> !saucy|Toa,
[13:01] <GridCube> braulio: do you understand spanish?
[13:01] <GridCube> braulio: http://www.ubuntu-es.org/node/144366
[13:03] <Toa> Thank you all! I'll go to # xubuntu-devel
[13:03] <braulio> GridCube: Hey man, well according to that guy he fixed his audio issues but his mic still don't work... My audio is fine, just the mic that isn't working properly
[13:05] <GridCube> braulio: if you see the first comment he says that he needed to "descompensate" the microphone settings, basically rendering it mono, also see that the last comment says that in later kernel versions he needed to reboot for the workaround to work
[13:08] <braulio> GridCube: wow, definitelly the imput volume changed here, I'm going to make a few tests here to see if that is noise or if it is actually capting something. brb
[13:11] <braulio> GridCube: hey man, The microphone is definitelly working when I just use one channel. But how do I "lock" it so it won't lower the input level? It automatically lower the volume when I try it on Skype for example.
[13:11] <GridCube> i dunno
[13:12] <GridCube> aint there a lock button on pavucontrol?
[13:14] <braulio> there is a button to lock channels together, which is what we don want
[13:15] <braulio> when I use it on skype, it automatically lower the volume levels
[13:15] <braulio> nevermind
[13:15] <GridCube> sorry i dont know
[13:15] <braulio> just found that Skype was doing that by itself
[13:16] <GridCube> i do know that if while you use skype you set pavucontrol setting then it will try to remember the settings for skype
[13:16] <GridCube> not just the globals but the particular
[13:17] <braulio> Yeah, I just looked up here and now it is working great.
[13:18] <braulio> Man, thank you SO much.
[13:18] <braulio> I was getting nervous here because of this problem haha
[13:21] <GridCube> :)
[14:00] <keijo_> i have problem playing cds
[14:02] <keijo_> i see cd on desktop but cant play it

[21:13] <xubuntu576> I need some help on adjusting screen brightness
[21:15] <xubuntu576> I have a Toshiba laptop running Xubuntu 13.04. I need to reduce screen brightness when on battery, however, the shortkey fn+f2 doesn't work
[21:16] <knome> xubuntu576, have you googled if other have had it working?
[21:18] <xubuntu576> I have tried popular solutions of editing grub, dissabling power manager & adding w/ --no daemon
[21:19] <xubuntu576> it seems to have worked on a HP dv6, but not for me.
[21:20] <knome> xubuntu576, toshiba what?
[21:21] <xubuntu576> Toshiba satellite L840
[21:22] <knome> xubuntu576, have you chekced your bios options? (somebody says that could help)
[21:23] <xubuntu576> Yes I have. The option is enabled to use fn key. Works perfectly on Windows (have a dual boot)
[21:24] <knome> okay
[21:24] <knome> i don't know your laptop model, but i'd suggest googling around a bit
[21:25] <xubuntu576> I've searched a lot and tried a lot. Still no luck, that why I'm seeking help....
[21:25] <knome> mhm, good luck with it :)
[21:25] <knome> (you can also ask #ubuntu, since this isn't a xubuntu-specific issue)
[21:26] <xubuntu576> I'll try that. thanks for your efforts
[21:26] <knome> no problem
[21:26] <knome> enjoy xubuntu!
