[00:56] hello [00:59] 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? [01:51] wickedares you said yourself. 1TB is mounted on /home [06:02] /part [06:38] What's the command to restart audio in xubuntu? [06:41] "restart audio"? [06:41] do you mean pulseaudio [06:47] pmjdebruijn, i assume so [06:48] pulseaudio -k [06:50] sysi, even with sudo, that doesn't work. i don't know why [06:51] Noskcaj sudo service pulseaudio restart [06:52] and why do you want to restart pulseaudio? do you have any problems? [06:52] nerdtron, i'm not getting any sound [06:53] completely or when you insert a headphone? [06:53] Noskcaj you want to adjust setting in alsamixer [06:53] do you have right output selected in pavucontrol, has it worked before? [06:54] in the terminal run alsamixer and see if there are any mute settings [06:55] pavucontrol should work [06:57] I'll restart my PC [07:01] Part of the problem seems to be the indicator icon. which no longer does anything when i click it [07:02] Noskcaj: is this 13.10? [07:03] elfy, yep [07:03] btw, afternoon elfy [07:04] there's a workaround for the indicator issue - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1208204 [07:04] Launchpad bug 1208204 in indicator-sound (Ubuntu) "indicator-sound no longer functions with xfce4-indicator-plugin" [Low,Triaged] [07:04] (guessing elfy soon tells something that explains why pre-releases aren't supported on this channel) [07:04] but it won't do anymore than using pavucontrol [07:04] and as sysi says - this isn't the channel for dev issues ;) [07:05] I keep forgetting that i'm not on a stable release. [08:22] 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? [08:23] do you really need those drivers? [08:24] depending on your device type, the open drivers might work reasonably well [08:24] I think ati 9k series is old, might be too old for fglrx [08:24] 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] heh [08:25] It did not do this prior to trying to install and then having to remove fglrx.. [08:25] anyhow proprietary drivers tend to be a PITA [08:26] 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 [08:40] 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 === mnepton is now known as mneptok === lderan_ is now known as lderan [11:33] Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeej xubuntu people [11:34] peyam, greetams [11:34] *greetings* [11:34] cfhowlett, Hiiiii! [11:34] peyam, ease of the keyboard ... [11:34] cfhowlett, got a mechanical.. works like a charm [11:35] !offtopic | peyam, cfhowlett [11:35] 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] knome, offtopic channels are usually dead [11:36] peyam, that doesn't warrant offtopic chatter on the support channel [11:36] knome, sorrrrry [11:36] peyam, besides, it's not. it might be quiet at times, but it's definitely not dead. [11:38] 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] i have no idea [11:38] it is something to think about to do in xfce [11:38] I have a better idea [11:39] 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] feel free to propose for the xfce developers [11:40] patches are always welcome (though not always integrated) [11:41] knome, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2137916 [11:41] people like it [11:42] peyam, i see one reply saying they like it, so i wouldn't count on the xfce developers jumping on it. [11:43] 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] knome, is it a good idea? [11:44] 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] any tips for first time xubuntu (first time linux) user? [11:45] yes but most of xfce user has old or cheap computers and screens. for saving screens you would have the indicators there [11:45] Bywa, do you have anything specific in mind? [11:45] nothing special, browsing interwebs and playing DotA 2 [11:45] peyam, if you already have a panel, the indicators do not really eat any screen estate [11:45] Bywa, install vlc, pinta, bleachbit [11:45] Bywa, you should be good as it is [11:45] OK [11:46] knome, ofcours it takes place.. [11:47] 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(?) [11:49] Bywa, it should detect it... is it formatted in NTFS? [11:50] yes [11:50] Bywa, if it a separate HDD? [11:50] yes [11:50] or it is a partition? [11:50] I have one 500 gb partitioned (detected both partitions) and another 50 gb which it didn't detect [11:51] I'll eventually come back with more info when it finally installs :) [11:52] Bywa, it might be detected and automounted - check the icons on your desktop when you boot into the installed desktop [11:52] will do [12:48] Is it normal that screen looks less sharp on xubuntu than on windows? [12:48] 1280x1024 resolution [12:49] Bywa, is that your screens native resolution? [12:49] no, but make sure that your resolution matches the native resolution of your screen [12:49] I think he might be referring to font rendering? [12:49] hm... [12:49] also, you might wnat to tweak the font rendering [12:50] though I must say, that once gotten used too, I now prefer how fonts are rendered on linux by a long shot [12:55] when I go back to 1024x768 it looks luch sharper but evrything's so huge :( [12:55] much* [12:55] Bywa, play with your appearance / display settings [12:57] will do [12:59] Bywa: are you using a VGA cable by any chance? [13:00] yes [13:00] pmjdebruijn yes [13:00] well, that might be related :) [13:01] I see, then it's time to buy new monitor :D [13:01] maybe [13:01] "sharpness" is a rather hard topic to discuss, as the term is misused mostly [13:01] typically the screen never becomes sharper at a lower resolution [13:01] at least not on a LCD [13:02] at least with DVI/HDMI you know the transmission isn't the issue [13:09] OK, is there any way to format my HDDs? [13:10] gparted [13:11] what do you mean? [13:12] Bywa, boot your ubuntu disk. gparted is there [13:12] format away [13:49] I'M LOOKING FOR HELP ABOUT XBUNTU [13:49] I'M BEGINER [13:50] is there anyone that help me? [13:51] just ask [13:54] hi itry to install xubunt on asus l3500to [13:55] but i'm not programmer [13:55] install on asus 3500tp [13:56] is it correct?? [13:57] hi matt, hi torax [13:58] And what happens when you try? [13:59] i lost more time and in particular [14:04] thank bywA, BUT i'm very beginner [14:04] i try to install xbunt 13.04 [14:05] is it correct?

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [14:06] xubuntu086: (just in case that would be more convenient to you) [14:08] What's the "extended" partition and why can't I change it? [14:11] 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] Bywa: and they did [14:12] 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 [14:13] 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] Bywa: and so now we have "primary" and "extended" paritions [14:14] Bywa: so, to change an extended partition, you would need to delete all the paritions from inside it [14:23] OK, I'd like to reinstall xubuntu with wiping out my HDD, any help? [19:23] I can turn my volume up and down with keys, but is there some applet I can stick on a panel? [20:04] 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")... [20:05] it might be nvidia related... === hobgoblin is now known as elfy [20:42] I need help setting my screen resolution.
