[03:19] <Mestre-Splinter> Hey guys, im having some problem with my wifi. Im on xubuntu 13.04. Im always disconnected when downloading something. Steam, torents and even downloading files trhogh the browser. My chip set is RLT8187
[03:19] <Mestre-Splinter> I tried to look on the foruns of ubuntu but it is offline
[05:40] <soman> Has anyone problem with keyboard layout? preferences ctrl + shift often resets to default after skype. Xubuntu 12.04 x86  3.2.0-50-generic #76-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 9 19:04:57 UTC 2013 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[05:42] <[0gb_us]> Hmm. I don't use Skype, so I haven't been exposed to that issue.
[08:07]  * [0gb_us] is away: 0gb.us, away!
[09:37] <HypothesisFrog> hey I bought a CD from the UK, and it has a second partition with a "data track" on it.
[09:38] <HypothesisFrog> not really the right tab for this, sorry.
[09:39] <elfy> I did wonder ;)
[12:03] <kothz> Quick question: when I try to modify the date/time through settings > date & time, I get a message: "Error accessing system permissions: Error initializing authority: Could not connect: No such file or directory" ... all of the other settings interfaces work.
[12:03] <kothz> A quick hop, skip and a jump through Google didn't produce anything immediately obvious
[12:05] <bgardner> kothz: Run 'time-admin' from a terminal and see if you get more informative output
[12:06] <kothz> bgardner: first .config/ibus/bus wasn't owned by root.  fixed that.  now: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
[12:08] <kothz> bgardner: now that one google seems to recognize... bbs
[12:08] <bgardner> kothz: Ok
[12:09] <flipper88_fl> Are the xubunbtu/ubuntu forums open to the public as of yet?
[12:10] <elfy> no
[12:10] <bgardner> flipper88_fl: Not yet.  Try ubuntu-discourse.org in the meantime.
[12:10] <elfy> hoping for later today
[12:12] <flipper88_fl> thanks elfy  btw are you a forum moderator?
[12:13] <elfy> admin
[12:14] <flipper88_fl> elfy: Please pm me as i would likea specific user name and a possible moderator spot on ubuntu forums?
[12:14] <elfy> you'll get up to date information either in ubuntu.discourse.org or #ubuntuforums
[12:14] <elfy> flipper88_fl: take that to #ubuntuforums - but the answer is likely to not be what you want
[12:15] <elfy> it's offtopic for here anyway
[12:16] <flipper88_fl> I was thinking about providing payper isnstace techncal support throur the xubuntu/ubuntu channels on irc or the ubuntu forumes
[12:25] <xubuntu325> hi
[12:25] <xubuntu325> i want to convert some old Dell pcs t
[12:26] <xubuntu325> I want to convert tham to thin client and connect to Windows RDP
[12:26] <xubuntu325> Is there a small version of Ubuntu with just the features I need for thios
[12:27] <knome> !minimal | xubuntu325
[12:27] <knome> xubuntu325, you can use that and install only the packages you need
[12:28] <xubuntu325> Which is the best verion to use
[12:28] <knome> xubuntu325, i just answered you
[12:29] <Sysi> for just running RDP. probably LTS
[12:29] <knome> right, "version".
[12:29]  * knome is still tired
[12:29] <xubuntu325> sorry, when I click the link there are various versions, 10.10, 11.04,12.10 etc
[12:29] <knome> LTS, so 12.04
[12:29] <xubuntu325> Many thanks guys :)
[12:51] <xubuntu325> while installing 12.04 Minimal I get a "Bad achive Mirror messge".  Previous to this step the network is detected however I am wondering if I am used an incorrect adress for the proxy?
[12:52] <xubuntu325> I am using http://administrator:password@10.1.10.5:8080/
[13:00] <adamus2> I asked this 12 hours ago but nobody answered, hope it's not fearsomely bad netiquette to ask again: anybody out there know what could be the problem with video and dvd playback after upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04? I fixed it in vlc by selecting the option "x11" video, but banshee, parole etc are still foobarred
[13:03] <bgardner> adamus2: Foobarred in what way, exactly?
[13:03] <adamus2> both banshee and parole cannot survive an attempt to play a video. they crash.
[13:04] <bgardner> adamus2: Try running either from a terminal and see if you get more informative output.
[13:05] <adamus2> The program 'Banshee' received an X Window System error.     This probably reflects a bug in the program.     The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.       (Details: serial 44 error_code 11 request_code 149 minor_code 19)
[13:06] <adamus2> Either someone just stole some of my RAM chips or that's not true...
[13:07] <adamus2> I googled it and that's where I got the solution for vlc from. But I can't find a way to tell Banshee and Parole to do what vlc is doing when I choose x11 video forit
[13:10] <bgardner> adamus2: Bear with me, that's kind of a generic error so my research is slow.
[13:11] <adamus2> no hurry. it's been killing me for days.
[13:11] <bgardner> adamus2: Does Parole crash with the same error if run from a terminal?
[13:12] <adamus2> let me see.
[13:15] <GridCube> adamus2: what video drivers are you using?
[13:16] <GridCube> adamus2: can you login using the guest account and see if your playing videos fails the same?
[13:16] <adamus2> bgardner: yes, parole gives same message
[13:17] <adamus2> gridcube: re guest account - not done that before - re video drivers - tried to work that out yesterday, didn't succeed
[13:17] <adamus2> sorry, a bit lame. where in xubuntu do you tell?
[13:17] <GridCube> adamus2: what do you mean bu didn't succeed?
[13:18] <GridCube> adamus2: to see what drivers you are using you open the Software Sources manager, from the ubuntu software center or standalone from the settings manager and go to the last tab thats "aditional drivers"
[13:19] <GridCube> there you will see the list of available drivers for your computer
[13:20] <GridCube> http://techhamlet.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/software-sources-550x401.jpg
[13:22] <adamus2> GridCube: I don't have such an option in my settings manager. obviously not got it installed if that's possible. is there a cli command for it
[13:22] <adamus2> no software sources manager, i mean
[13:22] <GridCube> adamus2: if you are using xubuntu 13.04 you do
[13:23] <GridCube> you can access it from the ubuntu software center then
[13:23] <GridCube> im pretty sure it is on the settings manager but i cant recall now to test it
[13:24] <adamus2> can you upgrade ubuntu without upgrading xubuntu? if not, then I'm on xubuntu 13.04 and I don't have a 'software sources' manager in my settings manager. i'll look into it though - sounds important :S
[13:25] <GridCube> adamus2: its called "software & updates" on the settings manager
[13:27] <GridCube> http://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers_years/2013_1/xubuntu-ringtail-nvidia-settings.jpg adamus2 see
[13:27] <adamus2> GridCube: aha. Then my Additional Drivers panel is empty. Nothing listed for video drivers or anything.
[13:28] <GridCube> ok then
[13:28] <GridCube> on a terminal run: lspci | grep "VGA"
[13:28] <GridCube> and paste that line here
[13:29] <adamus2> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[13:30] <GridCube> ok then generic drivers should be good
[13:32] <GridCube> now check that you are trully using generic drivers, go to /etc/X11/ and see that there is NOT a file named xorg.conf
[13:32] <GridCube> if there is an xorg.conf file thats wrong, you dont want one for generic drivers
[13:32] <Sysi> adamus2: do you have gstreamer0.10-vaapi installed?
[13:33] <adamus2> I don't have an xorg.conf in my /etc dir
[13:34] <adamus2> and I haven't got gstreamer0.10-vaapi either
[13:35] <adamus2> is it good or bad?
[13:35] <Sysi> try installing that and i965-va-driver
[13:35] <Sysi> then you may need to reboot
[13:38] <adamus2> I've got xserver-xorg-video-intel - not specific enough?
[13:39] <Sysi> va-api is for video playback hardware acceleration
[13:40] <GridCube> the i965 driver seems to be the one you need adamus2 http://h-node.org/videocards/view/es/106/Intel-Corporation-Mobile-4-Series-Chipset-Integrated-Graphics-Controller--rev-07-
[13:40] <Sysi> (on intel gpu:s)
[13:44] <adamus2> GridCube: probably a stupid question, but that page says "i915" not i965
[13:45] <GridCube> oh yeah i retyped what Sysi said, the page use a different one, search what the page says in the software center
[13:45] <GridCube> i915
[13:46] <GridCube> you can also add the x-swat ppa for ultra updated drivers https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[13:47] <Sysi> I don't think it's driver issue (might still be)
[13:47] <Sysi> xorg/gstreamer/application problem would be more likely
[13:48] <GridCube> maybe
[13:48] <GridCube> adamus2: have you installed the xubuntu-restricted-extras right?
[13:48] <bgardner> adamus2: Just to clarify one item, GridCube asked you to check that you didn't have a file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and you said you had no file at /etc/xorg.conf - which is not the same.
[13:48] <adamus2> let me check
[13:48] <adamus2> let me check that too
[13:49] <adamus2> no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11
[13:49] <GridCube> :) thats good
[13:49] <GridCube> you have generic drivers then
[13:49] <adamus2> got that restricted extras pkg too
[13:50] <GridCube> ok
[13:50] <adamus2> i'm adding that x-swat ppa
[13:51] <GridCube> adamus2: could you try to log in as guest and try a video, it could be, it sometimes is, that you dragged a wrong config file from the upgrade and its the one messing things around
[13:51] <GridCube> it could be as simple as that
[13:52] <adamus2> ok. let me install that x-swat ppa first then i'll reboot. what should the type/location/components for that url be in a ppa config line? deb https://launchpad....../... raring ???
[13:53] <GridCube> adamus2: clic on "read about installing"
[14:32] <adamus2> the video's working again in banshee and parole
[14:32] <adamus2> that's great.
[14:32] <GridCube> what did you did?
[14:36] <adamus2> was a combination or one of adding the gstreamer0.10-vaapi pkg, the i965-va-driver, adding that ubuntu-x-swat ppa and rebooting. but something caused my window manager to lose the window frames... or even just to lose the window manager?
[14:37] <adamus2> my windows are not controllable.
[14:37] <bgardner> adamus2: Sounds like your WM died, yes.
[14:38] <bgardner> adamus2: If you can get to a terminal, do sudo service lightdm start
[14:38] <adamus2> i am using xfce and starting x from the cli - it's in a config file, right?
[14:38] <bgardner> adamus2: Oh, startx?
[14:38] <adamus2> yep
[14:39] <bgardner> adamus2: Hmm, I haven't done that in ages - not sure if what I said before is still appropriate for a startx'ed session.
[14:40] <adamus2> ok, i'm only doing that because i have done it since i can remember.
[14:40] <adamus2> i guess i should set up the system to go straight into x - do you know the place to set that up?
[14:41] <bgardner> adamus2: What's your /etc/issue contents?
[14:41] <adamus2> Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l
[14:42] <bgardner> adamus2: Dumb question next - how did you first turn off GUI booting after install?  Or did you install server and add X later?
[14:44] <adamus2> hmmm, i have no recollection. sorry. my memory is shot by chronic sleep deprivation.
[14:44] <bgardner> adamus2: Okay, one moment.
[14:46] <bgardner> adamus2: Okay, what output do you get from this command: cat /etc/default/grub | grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
[14:47] <adamus2> cat /etc/default/grub | grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
[14:47] <adamus2> oops.
[14:48] <bgardner> adamus2: :D
[14:48] <adamus2> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"
[14:49] <bgardner> adamus2: Okay, I believe you want to change that to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[14:50] <bgardner> adamus2: Then do: sudo update-grub
[14:50] <Sysi> adamus2: remove /cache/sessions (and run xfwm4 --replace)
[14:51] <adamus2> ok. allow me to leave the chat temporarily.....
[14:51] <bgardner> adamus2: Ok
[14:52] <GridCube> adamus2: you might need a different dm, why dont you try installing gdm?
[14:52] <GridCube> sudo apt-get install gdm
[14:52] <adamus2> ok
[14:52] <GridCube> then you can simply start the dm using the service, sudo service gdm start
[15:15] <xubuntu830> hello.ols,can anyone tall me,how to format the usb driver in xubuntu? tnx
[16:04] <adamus> just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me isolate my video problem.

[19:25] <MrHotsauce> Hey everyone i was wondering if someone could help me out. Ever since i updated to 13.04 i have problems with my usb headset. Every so often it just stops putting sound through the microphone. I can useally fix this by going into the volume control and disabling and re-enabling it. This didnt happen in 12.10 any ideas on how to fix it?
