[01:07] <lgc> Hi. For some reason my system goes mute all by itself. I need to fumble with controls in order to make it sound. What could be happening?
[01:10] <SunStar> anything plugged in?
[01:10] <w30> I keep having that problem also. My box keeps picking a Nvidia sound card instead of Intel (the correct one). If I switch it it works for a couple of reboots and then it picks Nvidia again , dammit
[01:10] <SunStar> does the headphone jack function correctly? (if this is a laptop)
[01:11] <lgc> SunStar: are you asking me?
[01:11] <SunStar> yeah
[01:11] <lgc> SunStar: No, nothing plugged.
[01:11] <lgc> I need to go to Volume control and unmute it.
[01:12] <SunStar>  lgc  what kind of sound hardware you got?
[01:12] <lgc> SunStar: How do I find out?
[01:13] <SunStar> do you have more than 1 sound processor? go to a terminal emulator and type lspci
[01:15] <lgc> SunStar: Intel HD Audio Controller (rev 03) .
[01:21] <lgc> SunStar: http://linuxg.net/how-to-fix-the-mute-problem-on-xubuntu-13-04-12-10-12-04/
[01:24] <SunStar> lgc, in the terminal type: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0
[01:24] <SunStar> what does it say for the very first line (codec)
[01:25] <lgc> SunStar: Realtek ALC272X
[01:29] <SunStar> try this: gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[01:30] <SunStar> then add to the very end of the file: options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
[01:31] <lgc> SunStar: The file doesn't seem to exist.
[01:33] <lgc> There's an alsa-base.conf, though, SunStar.
[01:33] <SunStar> gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[01:34] <SunStar> yeah
[01:35] <SunStar> then restart
[01:36] <SunStar> after adding options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
[01:38] <lgc> OK, I'll try the reboot, SunStar.
[01:49] <lgc> SunStar: It didn't work. :( .
[01:51] <SunStar> well then i'd suggest posting on the forums with information about the computer including what version you are running, Intel HD Audio Controller (rev 03), Realtek ALC272X codec
[01:52] <lgc> SunStar: OK, I'll do that. Thanks a lot!
[01:54] <SunStar> might want to remove that option from /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base  seeing as how it didnt fix the issue
[01:54] <lgc> SunStar: I'll do that.
[01:54] <SunStar> if there are multiple instances, leave the first
[01:55] <lgc> Multiple instances?
[01:56] <SunStar> if you see "options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1" in more than one place in the file
[01:56] <SunStar> just remove the one you added
[01:57] <lgc> It was the only one, SunStar .
[01:57] <SunStar> well then good luck
[01:59] <lgc> Thanks!
[04:08] <Viva_Nero> I can't seem to take a screenshot.
[04:09] <Viva_Nero> I press print src, but it never prompts me asking where and in what format to save.
[04:10] <bazhang> png is the default
[04:10] <holstein> Viva_Nero: i find them in the /home or /home/pics or whatever
[04:10] <bazhang> the save location is in home
[04:11] <Viva_Nero> I never get that far though, it doesn't show the preview or ask what name and location for the save
[04:12] <holstein> Viva_Nero: i never see that either.. i just find the shots in /home
[04:12] <holstein> Viva_Nero: i dont get a filetype prompt.. just a .png in /home
[04:12] <Viva_Nero> hmm..
[04:12] <Viva_Nero> How do I make it start asking again?
[04:13] <holstein> Viva_Nero: try looking in your /home..
[04:13] <holstein> Viva_Nero: you can try another screenshot application
[04:13] <Viva_Nero> I take it the default program for it changed since karmic?
[04:14] <holstein> Viva_Nero: TBH, i dont ponder screenshots that much, friend..
[04:14] <Viva_Nero> I looked in my /home and /home/pictures, it didn't even save anything
[04:15] <holstein> Viva_Nero: maybe you are not hitting the correct keys.. sometimes you need "function" or "alt"
[04:15] <holstein> or shift
[04:15] <holstein> Viva_Nero: you dont have to use the keyboard.. try accessing it in the menu
[04:16] <Viva_Nero> none of those had any effect
[04:17] <holstein> Viva_Nero: "those".. define what *exactly* you did
[04:17] <holstein> Viva_Nero: you went to "take a screenshot" in the menu? and did what?
[04:17] <Viva_Nero> the 4 key combos you listed with print src
[04:17] <holstein> Viva_Nero: i have *no* idea what your keyboard will take
[04:17] <holstein> Viva_Nero: try the menu item, please
[04:18] <Viva_Nero> Menu item?
[04:18] <holstein> Viva_Nero: screenshot, from the menu
[04:18] <Viva_Nero> I'm in a java applet
[04:19] <holstein> Viva_Nero: please elaborate
[04:19] <Viva_Nero> nothing screenshot related is listed in the right click menu anywhere, or the applications menu
[04:20] <holstein> !screenshot
[04:20] <holstein> Viva_Nero: what would i do? open a package manager, and search "screenshot".. i would read and install one or 2, and try them, and use the one that i can use and that works ofr me
[04:20] <holstein> for*
[04:21] <Viva_Nero> Wait, is a screenshot program no longer isntalled by default?
[04:21] <holstein> Viva_Nero: it is/was for me.. but i have no idea what you are running or what you have changed.. or what your keyboard is like, or why you dont see "screenshot" in the menu
[04:22] <holstein> Viva_Nero: fact: you can install a screenshot applciation that prompts you.. and that you might like better anyways
[04:22] <Viva_Nero> Running quantal, never touched anything screenshot related in synaptic
[04:23] <holstein> Viva_Nero: ok
[04:25] <holstein> !info xfce4-screenshooter
[04:25] <holstein> Viva_Nero: ^ that is where i would start
[04:39] <lataku> there was 4 updates on update manager, kernel related files, it showed that it would be 3.8.29 kernel, but when I check uname -r it still shows .27
[04:39] <lataku> also it did not tell me to reboot as usually
[04:39] <lataku> xubuntu 13.04 here
[04:40] <lataku> what is the latest kernel?
[04:40] <lataku> 3.8.0.27 I meant
[04:40] <lataku> and the update said about 3.8.0.29
[04:49] <lataku> interesting, rest of the kernel files show in synaptic, but werent on updatemanager list :O

[08:32] <xubuntu372> Hello :-)
[08:32] <XATRIX> koegs: http://pastie.org/8255953
[08:35] <koegs> i think you need "wins support=yes" and "local master = yes" and "preferred master = yes"
[08:37] <XATRIX> koegs: i need to add it to my smb.conf ?
[08:37] <XATRIX> can i do it from the GUI configurator ?
[08:38] <koegs> which "gui configurator"?
[08:39] <koegs> XATRIX: just tried, the options work for me, my windows xp sees the server
[08:39] <XATRIX> ok
[08:52] <XATRIX> koegs: I've seen my netbook in Network explorer of a windows box, but i can't open it
[08:52] <XATRIX> Network path not found
[08:53] <XATRIX> currently i have the following added to smb.conf:
[08:53] <XATRIX>    wins support = yes
[08:53] <XATRIX>    domain master = auto
[09:18] <xubuntu695> the new kernel 3.8.0-29 seems broken when trying to boot a full disk encrypted disk.
[09:18] <xubuntu695> 3.8.0-19 still works.
[09:18] <xubuntu695> I don't get to the passphrase prompt.
[09:19] <xubuntu695> Instead, after ca. 3 minutes, it drops into a busybox.
[09:25] <Noskcaj> xubuntu695, May i suggest you file a bug?
[09:32] <xubuntu695> O.K. I'll do that
[09:52] <Kharec> xubuntu695: my disk is fully encrypted
[09:52] <Kharec> My kernel is 3.8.0-29
[09:53] <Kharec> and I can boot it after the update
[09:53] <Kharec> uname: Linux bakura 3.8.0-29-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 13 23:12:18 UTC 2013 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux
[10:28] <xubuntu555> Hi xubuntu installed on 32bit AMD Athlon XP 1800+ cpu with ATI Radeon 9000 graphics card. Flash not playing any browsers (firefox, chromium or chrome). Uninstalled browsers and plugins and reinstalled and still no video or sound. Lost as to where to go now. Please help
[10:29] <xubuntu555> Should have also said this version 12.04
[10:30] <knome> xubuntu555, have you installed xubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[10:30] <koegs> how did you install flash?
[10:31] <xubuntu555> I have
[10:33] <xubuntu555> I have installed xubuntu-restricted-extras and Adobe Flash plug-in. Ive also tried Gnash SWF viewer and that didn't work. I've removed that one again.
[10:33] <knome> xubuntu555, you can't have multiple flash versions, that'll break it
[10:34] <xubuntu555> Sorry I removed the flash-plugin first then installed Gnash one however when that didn't work removed the Gnash one and reinstalled the Adobe one. I never had both installed at the same time and the software centre is showing only the Adobe one as currently installed.
[10:37] <xubuntu555> I also seen somewhere that I should remove or rename the libflashplayer.so so that Chrome would use it's own version however that didn't work either so renamed it back again.
[11:55] <Arpad2> hello
[11:55] <cfhowlett> Arpad2, greetings
[11:56] <Arpad2> I am getting 'omittoing directory' message when I want to copy one directory
[11:56] <koegs> Arpad2: try "cp -r"
[11:57] <Arpad2> that give invalid argument
[11:57] <Arpad2> I would like to copy some mp3 files onto my phone
[11:57] <koegs> Arpad2: what command did you use?
[11:58] <Arpad2> from the notebook's harddrive
[11:58] <cub> Arpad2: what kind of phone is it?
[11:58] <Arpad2> motorola atrix2 android 4.0.4
[11:59] <cfhowlett> Arpad2, airdroid
[11:59] <Arpad2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6010045/
[12:00] <cfhowlett> Arpad2, android app: airdroid
[12:01] <Arpad2> ok
[12:02] <koegs> Arpad2: try typing "cp -r Hand<tab><tab>" it will give you the correct syntax for a folder with a space in it
[12:03] <Arpad2> you mean to press the TAB button twice
[12:03] <Arpad2> ?
[12:03] <koegs> yes
[12:03] <Arpad2> ok
[12:04] <koegs> i think you will end up with "cp -r Handel\:\ Messiah /media/blablabla
[12:05] <Arpad2> indeed:)
[12:05] <koegs> you have to escape special characters and spaces with \
[12:06] <koegs> but Tabulator will do that for you also :)
[12:11] <Arpad2> I have got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/6010062/
[13:22] <xubuntu687> is it ok to uninstall all default applications you dont like and install the ones you want on xubuntu? or can you install xubuntu with no apps?
[13:39] <TheSheep> xubuntu687: yes
[14:18] <xubuntu874> I was on earlier as I'm having problems with flash however nobody was able to help at that time. I've since reinstalled xubuntu from scratch and I still face the same problems. Each time I try to load a flash based site (youtube) I get a crash report in firefox about a plugin-container and in Chromium. The only things that I have done since the reinstall are do an update and upgrade, restart, and then install xubuntu-restricted-e
[14:20] <xubuntu874> The system is old. It's an Abit NF7-S2G mobo with a AMD Athlon XP 1800+ cpu and ATI Radeon 9000 gx card.
[14:20] <xubuntu874> And 1GB ram
[16:00] <WindowsPro> helo
[16:00] <WindowsPro> anybody
[16:00] <WindowsPro> anybody
[16:00] <WindowsPro> hello i need help
[16:03] <aranya> @windowspro : Just ask your question, if somebody knows, will answer ...
[17:58] <eph3meral> so I've been having lots of borderline random difficult to reproduce but consistent (several times per day) crashes under XFCE on Ubuntu 13.04 64bit, I have googled for a while now but haven't found anything to solve this, has anyone else been experiencing this?
[17:59] <eph3meral> sorry for xpost, don't know where this is most appropriate or what the root problem is
[20:19] <darkbliss> greetings
[20:19] <darkbliss> iv just instaled xubuntu and i have a issue that im not sure how to resolve can someone help me
[20:20] <bgardner> darkbliss: Ask your question, we can try
[20:20] <darkbliss> well in trying to run a bukkit minecraft server but i keep getting an error on the terminal when i try to run it
[20:22] <bgardner> darkbliss: That's not really a Xubuntu support question.  What is the error message you are getting?
[20:22] <darkbliss> fail to execute process home/mc-server/Área" (file or directory doenst exist)
[20:24] <bgardner> darkbliss: You should probably try asking over in #minecraft
[23:38] <hinterplayer> Woo! Just installed Xubuntu on my non-PAE laptop.
