| wickedares | hello | 00:56 |
|---|---|---|
| wickedares | so i have a computer that i use as a server i have one 40gb hdd i set up for the xbuntu hdd 2 is a 1tb hdd i set up as a ex4 journaling mounted at /home and i have a 3rd hdd that is a 2 tb that i left as a ntfs from windows. my question is where did my 1tb hdd mounted under /home end up in the file system and is that the best way to do extra storage? | 00:59 |
| nerdtron | wickedares you said yourself. 1TB is mounted on /home | 01:51 |

| Noskcaj | What's the command to restart audio in xubuntu? | 06:38 |
| pmjdebruijn | "restart audio"? | 06:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | do you mean pulseaudio | 06:41 |
| Noskcaj | pmjdebruijn, i assume so | 06:47 |
| Sysi | pulseaudio -k | 06:48 |
| Noskcaj | sysi, even with sudo, that doesn't work. i don't know why | 06:50 |
| nerdtron | Noskcaj sudo service pulseaudio restart | 06:51 |
| nerdtron | and why do you want to restart pulseaudio? do you have any problems? | 06:52 |
| Noskcaj | nerdtron, i'm not getting any sound | 06:52 |
| nerdtron | completely or when you insert a headphone? | 06:53 |
| nerdtron | Noskcaj you want to adjust setting in alsamixer | 06:53 |
| Sysi | do you have right output selected in pavucontrol, has it worked before? | 06:53 |
| nerdtron | in the terminal run alsamixer and see if there are any mute settings | 06:54 |
| Sysi | pavucontrol should work | 06:55 |
| Noskcaj | I'll restart my PC | 06:57 |
| Noskcaj | Part of the problem seems to be the indicator icon. which no longer does anything when i click it | 07:01 |
| elfy | Noskcaj: is this 13.10? | 07:02 |
| Noskcaj | elfy, yep | 07:03 |
| Noskcaj | btw, afternoon elfy | 07:03 |
| elfy | there's a workaround for the indicator issue - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1208204 | 07:04 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1208204 in indicator-sound (Ubuntu) "indicator-sound no longer functions with xfce4-indicator-plugin" [Low,Triaged] | 07:04 |
| Sysi | (guessing elfy soon tells something that explains why pre-releases aren't supported on this channel) | 07:04 |
| elfy | but it won't do anymore than using pavucontrol | 07:04 |
| elfy | and as sysi says - this isn't the channel for dev issues ;) | 07:04 |
| Noskcaj | I keep forgetting that i'm not on a stable release. | 07:05 |
| sargennto | Hello all. I am having problems installing proprietary video drivers. If I run lspci command it tells me I have 'ATI Device 9900'. So I should be able to use the fgrlx drivers correct? When I reboot it tells me a screen cannot be found and Xserver will not start? Any clue? | 08:22 |
| pmjdebruijn | do you really need those drivers? | 08:23 |
| pmjdebruijn | depending on your device type, the open drivers might work reasonably well | 08:24 |
| Sysi | I think ati 9k series is old, might be too old for fglrx | 08:24 |
| sargennto | Im using them now and when trying to play Guild Wars 2 via wine it tells me I don't meet system requirements | 08:24 |
| pmjdebruijn | heh | 08:24 |
| sargennto | It did not do this prior to trying to install and then having to remove fglrx.. | 08:25 |
| pmjdebruijn | anyhow proprietary drivers tend to be a PITA | 08:25 |
| sargennto | Sysi: and that would really suck because I only bought this laptop 6 months ago. Also I believe I have a different video card than the 9900 series.. But thats what lspci shows | 08:26 |
| sargennto | Sysi: I was just looking at my laptop documentation and I indeed have a different video card than that.. I have a AMD Radeon HD 7660G | 08:40 |

| peyam | Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeej xubuntu people | 11:33 |
| cfhowlett | peyam, greetams | 11:34 |
| cfhowlett | *greetings* | 11:34 |
| peyam | cfhowlett, Hiiiii! | 11:34 |
| cfhowlett | peyam, ease of the keyboard ... | 11:34 |
| peyam | cfhowlett, got a mechanical.. works like a charm | 11:34 |
| knome | !offtopic | peyam, cfhowlett | 11:35 |
| ubottu | peyam, cfhowlett: #xubuntu is the Xubuntu support channel, #xubuntu-devel for discussion regarding development of Xubuntu, and #xubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 11:35 |
| peyam | knome, offtopic channels are usually dead | 11:35 |
| knome | peyam, that doesn't warrant offtopic chatter on the support channel | 11:36 |
| peyam | knome, sorrrrry | 11:36 |
| knome | peyam, besides, it's not. it might be quiet at times, but it's definitely not dead. | 11:36 |
| peyam | knome, okeeej. If I want to see all the windows open by pointing the mouse to the corner like in Gnome. how do I do it in xfce? | 11:38 |
| knome | i have no idea | 11:38 |
| peyam | it is something to think about to do in xfce | 11:38 |
| peyam | I have a better idea | 11:38 |
| peyam | why not havving the indicator plugin and notification area inside the menu? i know they are two different applet but it would be awesome | 11:39 |
| knome | feel free to propose for the xfce developers | 11:39 |
| knome | patches are always welcome (though not always integrated) | 11:40 |
| peyam | knome, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2137916 | 11:41 |
| peyam | people like it | 11:41 |
| knome | peyam, i see one reply saying they like it, so i wouldn't count on the xfce developers jumping on it. | 11:42 |
| knome | i don't think whisker menu does that, but your idea sounds like something fitting more to that project than the xfce core. | 11:43 |
| peyam | knome, is it a good idea? | 11:43 |
| knome | well, fwiw, i think that indicators are ultimately only useful if they are visible at all times - that's the point of indicators | 11:44 |
| Bywa | any tips for first time xubuntu (first time linux) user? | 11:44 |
| peyam | yes but most of xfce user has old or cheap computers and screens. for saving screens you would have the indicators there | 11:45 |
| knome | Bywa, do you have anything specific in mind? | 11:45 |
| Bywa | nothing special, browsing interwebs and playing DotA 2 | 11:45 |
| knome | peyam, if you already have a panel, the indicators do not really eat any screen estate | 11:45 |
| peyam | Bywa, install vlc, pinta, bleachbit | 11:45 |
| knome | Bywa, you should be good as it is | 11:45 |
| Bywa | OK | 11:45 |
| peyam | knome, ofcours it takes place.. | 11:46 |
| Bywa | btw. at the installation, it didn't detect my second (50 gb only) HDD, is that normal? it is quite old so I guess that's the reason(?) | 11:47 |
| knome | Bywa, it should detect it... is it formatted in NTFS? | 11:49 |
| Bywa | yes | 11:50 |
| peyam | Bywa, if it a separate HDD? | 11:50 |
| Bywa | yes | 11:50 |
| peyam | or it is a partition? | 11:50 |
| Bywa | I have one 500 gb partitioned (detected both partitions) and another 50 gb which it didn't detect | 11:50 |
| Bywa | I'll eventually come back with more info when it finally installs :) | 11:51 |
| knome | Bywa, it might be detected and automounted - check the icons on your desktop when you boot into the installed desktop | 11:52 |
| Bywa | will do | 11:52 |
| Bywa | Is it normal that screen looks less sharp on xubuntu than on windows? | 12:48 |
| Bywa | 1280x1024 resolution | 12:48 |
| cfhowlett | Bywa, is that your screens native resolution? | 12:49 |
| TheSheep | no, but make sure that your resolution matches the native resolution of your screen | 12:49 |
| pmjdebruijn | I think he might be referring to font rendering? | 12:49 |
| Bywa | hm... | 12:49 |
| TheSheep | also, you might wnat to tweak the font rendering | 12:49 |
| pmjdebruijn | though I must say, that once gotten used too, I now prefer how fonts are rendered on linux by a long shot | 12:50 |
| Bywa | when I go back to 1024x768 it looks luch sharper but evrything's so huge :( | 12:55 |
| Bywa | much* | 12:55 |
| cfhowlett | Bywa, play with your appearance / display settings | 12:55 |
| Bywa | will do | 12:57 |
| pmjdebruijn | Bywa: are you using a VGA cable by any chance? | 12:59 |
| Bywa | yes | 13:00 |
| Bywa | pmjdebruijn yes | 13:00 |
| pmjdebruijn | well, that might be related :) | 13:00 |
| Bywa | I see, then it's time to buy new monitor :D | 13:01 |
| pmjdebruijn | maybe | 13:01 |
| pmjdebruijn | "sharpness" is a rather hard topic to discuss, as the term is misused mostly | 13:01 |
| pmjdebruijn | typically the screen never becomes sharper at a lower resolution | 13:01 |
| pmjdebruijn | at least not on a LCD | 13:01 |
| pmjdebruijn | at least with DVI/HDMI you know the transmission isn't the issue | 13:02 |
| Bywa | OK, is there any way to format my HDDs? | 13:09 |
| TheSheep | gparted | 13:10 |
| Bywa | what do you mean? | 13:11 |
| cfhowlett | Bywa, boot your ubuntu disk. gparted is there | 13:12 |
| cfhowlett | format away | 13:12 |
| xubuntu086 | I'M LOOKING FOR HELP ABOUT XBUNTU | 13:49 |
| xubuntu086 | I'M BEGINER | 13:49 |
| xubuntu086 | is there anyone that help me? | 13:50 |
| torax | just ask | 13:51 |
| xubuntu086 | hi itry to install xubunt on asus l3500to | 13:54 |
| xubuntu086 | but i'm not programmer | 13:55 |
| xubuntu086 | install on asus 3500tp | 13:55 |
| xubuntu086 | is it correct?? | 13:56 |
| xubuntu086 | hi matt, hi torax | 13:57 |
| Pici | And what happens when you try? | 13:58 |
| xubuntu086 | i lost more time and in particular | 13:59 |
| xubuntu086 | thank bywA, BUT i'm very beginner | 14:04 |
| xubuntu086 | i try to install xbunt 13.04 | 14:04 |
| xubuntu086 | is it correct? | 14:05 |
| TheSheep | !it | xubuntu086 | 14:05 |
| ubottu | xubuntu086: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 14:05 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu086: (just in case that would be more convenient to you) | 14:06 |
| Bywa | What's the "extended" partition and why can't I change it? | 14:08 |
| TheSheep | Bywa: back in the old days of DOS people though "four partitions should be enough for everyone, let's just make room for 4 parition tables at the beginning of hard disk drives!" | 14:11 |
| TheSheep | Bywa: and they did | 14:11 |
| TheSheep | Bywa: but later, as the systems became more complex and hard disk drives larger, people began to want more partiions, but there was no room for more partition tables | 14:12 |
| TheSheep | Bywa: so they said: let's take one of those 4 paritions, and make it an "extended partition", and put more partitions inside it, with their partition tables at the beginning of that extended partition | 14:13 |
| TheSheep | Bywa: and so now we have "primary" and "extended" paritions | 14:13 |
| TheSheep | Bywa: so, to change an extended partition, you would need to delete all the paritions from inside it | 14:14 |
| Bywa | OK, I'd like to reinstall xubuntu with wiping out my HDD, any help? | 14:23 |
| dawne | I can turn my volume up and down with keys, but is there some applet I can stick on a panel? | 19:23 |
| nicofs | I need help setting my screen resolution. I need 1280*720 - but it's not there and I can't add it via xrandr ("X Error of failed request: BadMatch")... | 20:04 |
| nicofs | it might be nvidia related... | 20:05 |
