OnkelTemI have no Sound Preferences. How to install it?07:16
OnkelTemI don't understand how volume control works. I see gray speaker icon in the tray, and when I right-click on it a menu pop-ups, and to top menu item reads:07:49
OnkelTemVolume Control Settings07:50
OnkelTembut when I click on it, instead of opening any control settings, a new black speaker icon appears in the trat07:50
OnkelTemso now I have 2 icons there: smaller and gray, and bigger and black07:50
OnkelTemwth?07:51
Unit193Open terminal, type  alsamixer07:51
OnkelTemwut? :)07:52
OnkelTemI try to understand LXDE07:52
Unit193Menu > Accessories > LXterminal07:53
OnkelTemUnit193: of course, thank you for trying to help, but this is inappropriate07:55
OnkelTemits like switching channels in sattelite instead of a receiver07:55
OnkelTemWhat about pulseaudio and pavucontrol at least?07:55
Unit193Lubuntu has alsa by default, but if you have more than a basic setup you may be better off with it, yeah.07:56
OnkelTemUnit193: I have LXDE desktop. And my question is about how can I configure sound settings here07:57
Unit193Yes.07:58
OnkelTemI see a gray speaker icon in the tray, where "Volume control" menu item breeds one more black speaker icon07:59
OnkelTemif I open that menu again and click Volume control item one more time...07:59
OnkelTemnothing happens08:00
OnkelTemNow if I right click that new black speaker icon, I see another menu with two items:08:00
OnkelTemMute, Sound prefrences08:01
OnkelTemClicking the sound preferences opens up a new window, similar to Gnome/Unity System Settings08:01
OnkelTemBut instead of tens of icons in there, I see only few: Lanugage Support, Printers, Software & Updates08:02
OnkelTemand no Sound Settings08:02
OnkelTemHow can I disable showing ScreeSaver lock scree when switching to another user which session is already running?10:18
OnkelTemDoes  Lubuntu support configuring xrandr to use Dual Monitors?10:37
OnkelTemCurrently I have same image on both monitors10:37
OnkelTemHellooooo11:14
phillwOnkelTem: I *think* you need grandr or arandr for that12:51
OnkelTemphillw: thanks, arandr did the job! Does it save changes between sessions?13:56
phillwOnkelTem: i believe it does.13:58
phillwI've only ever used lxrandr as I've only had to link to  a projector. I do know that arandr is more 'powerful', but it also uses more resources :)13:59
* OnkelTem is thinking about purchasing Sublime Text14:01
OnkelTemphillw: but for it work I need to place arandr into autostart?14:04
phillwdo you want arandr to autostart?14:17
phillwif so, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1984904 has a discussion on that.14:17
OnkelTemI want the effect of applying arandr to be persistant _14:17
OnkelTem:)14:17
faLUCEhello. how can I enable hdmi audio on a cedar trail mobo with (l)ubuntu 12.04 ?16:05
faLUCEhello. how can I enable hdmi audio on a cedar trail mobo with (l)ubuntu 12.04 ? I can see the HDMI device with aplay -l but I don't see it with alsamixer16:12
phillwfaLUCE: I think you need the pulseaudio / pavucontrol duo for hdmi sound16:18
faLUCEi launched pavucontrol, but I don't see hdmi in the combo16:18
phillwhave you installed pulseaudio?16:19
faLUCEphillw: yes16:19
faLUCEand it's running16:19
phillwfaLUCE: it seems you can use alsa for hdmi sound.. http://askubuntu.com/questions/285624/ubuntu-13-04-not-detect-the-hdmi-sound-output16:20
phillwfaLUCE: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147651 has a decent discussion on the subject. I don't use hdmi sound, so can only point you to where to get information.16:22
faLUCEphillw: thanks, all solved16:22
phillwusing alsa or pulseaudio ?16:23

csc`hmm18:13
ianorlinwhat?18:14
csc`Trying to configure extended dual displays18:17
csc`with a resolution difference18:17
csc`but my primary no longer has lxpanel18:17
csc`so im guessing I can't have one display resolution larger than the other, they both have to be the same for lxpanel to work :(18:19
ianorlinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/MultiDisplay this is really all I can find searcihng online for the subject18:22
csc`it's just disorientating is all18:24
csc`ive got it working but you know how typically if you setup dual displays on winblows, your second extended monitor has no taskbar...its just another workspace really?18:24
csc`this is the first time i've bothered trying it in linux-based, so i wasn't expecting the whole taskbar to be stretched across18:24
csc`ianorlin, i've already pretty much used a similar document18:26
ianorlinmaybe try putting pannel alignment to center in panel settings18:27
csc`nope18:31
ianorlinwhat is the width set to?18:31
csc`i already changed that before you said something but it still has the gap below the window for the panel18:32
csc`curse you linux18:32
ianorlinhit f11 can make it fullscreen18:32
csc`hide panel when not in use is a better solution >_>18:33
csc`or actually..hmm18:33
phillwcsc`:  >> I grabbed the liveCD and booted it up. I installed arandr and got dual head via a gui. I set lxpanel to 50% and selected the really wide desperado wallpaper. Not bad... not bad at all. 18:33
phillw-Hinto <<18:33
csc`phillw, that's not the problem18:33
phillwfound that on a forum area18:33
csc`the original issue was how I could have two separate resolutions18:34
csc`without lxpanel messing up18:34
phillwarandr should allow that?18:34
csc`...arandr isn't the problem.18:34
csc`lxpanel is.18:34
m_vixHi18:35
phillwyou initially said the task bar was stretched across both screens?18:35
csc`when i set the resolution to the other monitor above 1024x768, it decides to not show lxpanel at all on the main screen18:35
csc`phillw, that was just a nitpick complaint, the real issue is the one above18:35
csc`what's happening is lxpanel is still displaying and is taking priority on the higher resolution18:37
csc`since this is a laptop, using the secondary monitor for the taskbar is very disorientating18:37
csc`there we go18:38
csc`only way to remedy it is to have the panel on the top of the screen instead of the bottom18:40
phillwI've only used xrandr for mirroring to a projector, so I've no experience with what you're attempting... sorry.18:41
csc`you don't even need that to mirror18:43
csc`mirroring is plug and play18:43
phillwI turned it on using lxrandr, the slimmed down version of arandr that ships with lubuntu.18:44
csc`There was no tool to extend displays out of the box in lubuntu that i could see18:45
phillwcsc`: correct, lxrandr just does mirroring, you need arandr for using a  second monitor as extended display area.18:46
csc`heh the way i've got it setup at the moment, if I decide to unplug this monitor i have no lxpanel =318:48
