[00:56] <wickedares> hello
[00:59] <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?
[01:51] <nerdtron> wickedares you said yourself. 1TB is mounted on /home
[06:02] <w30>  /part
[06:38] <Noskcaj> What's the command to restart audio in xubuntu?
[06:41] <pmjdebruijn> "restart audio"?
[06:41] <pmjdebruijn> do you mean pulseaudio
[06:47] <Noskcaj> pmjdebruijn, i assume so
[06:48] <Sysi> pulseaudio -k
[06:50] <Noskcaj> sysi, even with sudo, that doesn't work. i don't know why
[06:51] <nerdtron> Noskcaj sudo service pulseaudio restart
[06:52] <nerdtron> and why do you want to restart pulseaudio? do you have any problems?
[06:52] <Noskcaj> nerdtron, i'm not getting any sound
[06:53] <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?
[06:54] <nerdtron> in the terminal run alsamixer and see if there are any mute settings
[06:55] <Sysi> pavucontrol should work
[06:57] <Noskcaj> I'll restart my PC
[07:01] <Noskcaj> Part of the problem seems to be the indicator icon. which no longer does anything when i click it
[07:02] <elfy> Noskcaj: is this 13.10?
[07:03] <Noskcaj> elfy, yep
[07:03] <Noskcaj> btw, afternoon elfy
[07:04] <elfy> there's a workaround for the indicator issue - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1208204
[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 ;)
[07:05] <Noskcaj> I keep forgetting that i'm not on a stable release.
[08:22] <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?
[08:23] <pmjdebruijn> do you really need those drivers?
[08:24] <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
[08:25] <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
[08:26] <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
[08:40] <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
[11:33] <peyam> Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeej xubuntu people
[11:34] <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
[11:35] <knome> !offtopic | peyam, cfhowlett
[11:35] <peyam> knome, offtopic channels are usually dead
[11:36] <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.
[11:38] <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
[11:39] <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
[11:40] <knome> patches are always welcome (though not always integrated)
[11:41] <peyam> knome, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2137916
[11:41] <peyam> people like it
[11:42] <knome> peyam, i see one reply saying they like it, so i wouldn't count on the xfce developers jumping on it.
[11:43] <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?
[11:44] <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?
[11:45] <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
[11:46] <peyam> knome, ofcours it takes place..
[11:47] <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(?)
[11:49] <knome> Bywa, it should detect it... is it formatted in NTFS?
[11:50] <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
[11:51] <Bywa> I'll eventually come back with more info when it finally installs :)
[11:52] <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
[12:48] <Bywa> Is it normal that screen looks less sharp on xubuntu than on windows?
[12:48] <Bywa> 1280x1024 resolution
[12:49] <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
[12:50] <pmjdebruijn> though I must say, that once gotten used too, I now prefer how fonts are rendered on linux by a long shot
[12:55] <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
[12:57] <Bywa> will do
[12:59] <pmjdebruijn> Bywa: are you using a VGA cable by any chance?
[13:00] <Bywa> yes
[13:00] <Bywa> pmjdebruijn yes
[13:00] <pmjdebruijn> well, that might be related :)
[13:01] <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
[13:02] <pmjdebruijn> at least with DVI/HDMI you know the transmission isn't the issue
[13:09] <Bywa> OK, is there any way to format my HDDs?
[13:10] <TheSheep> gparted
[13:11] <Bywa> what do you mean?
[13:12] <cfhowlett> Bywa, boot your ubuntu disk.  gparted is there
[13:12] <cfhowlett> format away
[13:49] <xubuntu086> I'M LOOKING FOR HELP ABOUT XBUNTU
[13:49] <xubuntu086> I'M BEGINER
[13:50] <xubuntu086> is there anyone that help me?
[13:51] <torax> just ask
[13:54] <xubuntu086> hi itry to install xubunt on asus l3500to
[13:55] <xubuntu086> but i'm not 	 	 programmer 	
[13:55] <xubuntu086> install on  asus 3500tp
[13:56] <xubuntu086> is it correct??
[13:57] <xubuntu086> hi matt, hi torax
[13:58] <Pici> And what happens when you try?
[13:59] <xubuntu086> i lost more time and in particular
[14:04] <xubuntu086> thank bywA, BUT i'm very beginner
[14:04] <xubuntu086> i try to install xbunt 13.04
[14:05] <xubuntu086> is it correct?
[14:05] <TheSheep> !it | xubuntu086
[14:06] <TheSheep> xubuntu086: (just in case that would be more convenient to you)
[14:08] <Bywa> What's the "extended" partition and why can't I change it?
[14:11] <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
[14:12] <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
[14:13] <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
[14:14] <TheSheep> Bywa: so, to change an extended partition, you would need to delete all the paritions from inside it
[14:23] <Bywa> OK, I'd like to reinstall xubuntu with wiping out my HDD, any help?
[19:23] <dawne> I can turn my volume up and down with keys, but is there some applet I can stick on a panel?
[20:04] <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")...
[20:05] <nicofs> it might be nvidia related...
[20:42] <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")... I'm using nvidia drivers...
[20:43] <Sysi> use nvidia settings dialog
[20:45] <nicofs> Sysi, I'd love to - but the resolution i need is not there.
[21:27] <hylian> hello all
