[00:42] Can someone help me install the D-Link DWA-171 USB dongle on my new 13.04 installation? [01:03] fatmandown: maybe.. do you have it plugged in? any lights on the dlink? have you used it on a machine with supported drivers before? are you certain the hardware is functioning properly? [01:18] holstein, it's plugged in, no lights [01:21] fatmandown: i would make certain the device works. having no lights could mean that it is broken [01:22] otherwise, plug it in, run "lspci" and "lsusb" and see if you see it.. run "ifconfig" and see it you see it [01:23] it's up on lsusb but not lspci [01:23] fatmandown: what is? the dlink? listed as what? where? use pastebin if you like [01:24] !paste [01:24] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [01:24] unfortunately I can't use pastebin because it's from a computer with no internet access [01:25] fatmandown: what is the output? the chipset? [01:26] lsusb just gives the USB ID and "D-Link Corp" [01:26] fatmandown: the chipset.. [01:26] for example 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) [01:29] lspci doesn't output anything related to the usb chip [01:29] fatmandown: with wif chipset [01:29] wifi* [01:30] fatmandown: we can google the model #, but that really is not reliable. dlink can change those under the same model number [01:30] realtek I believe but hold on [01:30] fatmandown: what would i do? just return it and get something that "just work".. otherwise, we can just keep digging for the chipset [01:31] returning it is my failsafe but i'd like to see if it'll work [01:31] i've tried compiling the drivers, but they hang at the make step [01:33] fatmandown: compiing what drivers? [01:33] fatmandown: you shouldnt have to compile any drivers.. they are in the kernel, typically [01:33] linux drivers for this particular model [01:33] fatmandown: from where? [01:33] http://wikidevi.com/wiki/D-Link_DWA-171_rev_A1 [01:34] you can try the windows driver with ndisgtk [01:35] is it worth getting ndisgtk on a USB flash drive and transferring it over manually? [01:36] fatmandown: personally, as i said, i would return it.. [01:36] fatmandown: they should just work [01:36] it's a somewhat older desktop [01:37] fatmandown: doesnt matter.. the drivers are just baked into the kernel for most devices like that [01:37] either you have faulty hardware ( the dlink, motherboard, or usb) or a lack of driver support [01:37] most of the ones they sell at microcenter/bestbuy probably aren't linux-compatible [01:37] damnit [01:38] fatmandown: nothing typically says "linux compatible" on the box, but, most dongles are plug and play now [01:40] sonovabitch. I guess I'll go back tomorrow === Mapley is now known as letmechangemynic === letmechangemynic is now known as Mapley === CodeUplink is now known as Krisit === Krisit is now known as Kristi === Kristi is now known as Kristi_L [04:15] Is there anyone here. [04:15] That is slick with Xubuntu [04:48] can anyone tell me if this card would be compatible with a dell dimension 2400? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130773 [04:49] the dell specs are on or around pg. 28 of the manual: ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_dimension_desktops/dimension-2400_service%20manual_en-us.pdf [04:49] i'm not overly knowledgeable on hardware specs so any help would be appreciated [05:01] DevZero, one moment [05:02] Noskcaj10: thank you [05:03] DevZero, It should work, it's PCI [05:03] Why do you need it? [05:05] i'm giving the computer to an older person who just surfs a few websites and watches the occasional youtube video...checks e-mail, etc. the onboard graphics chip has always be buggy under linux...X problems...flash looks horrible...the devs don't care to fix these problems...simply easier to stick a card in there and forget about it [05:12] Is the onboard a VIA? [05:12] Poisoned_Dragon: not sure what you mean [05:13] Does VIA make the video chip on the motherboard. [05:13] Because Via chips like Unichrome are pretty crappy. [05:13] no it's intel 845G [05:13] Even in windows [05:13] Oh.... It's just that old. :( [05:14] yeah...very old [05:14] 845s seem to be having alot of problems, lately [05:14] but apart from the graphics chip linux likes everything else and it's still peppy [05:14] So, you're trying to use Xubuntu on it? [05:15] it will be perfect for this other person once the graphics problem is handled [05:15] haven't decided...xubuntu or something similar [05:15] If so, you could try making sure that composting is disabled. [05:15] yeah, i probably will [05:15] Intel 845s are terrible at composting effects, like shadows and transparency. [05:16] Worst case scenario, there's always Lubuntu. [05:16] well i'm not going to stay with the onboard chipset, that's why i was asking about the card in the link above [05:16] Can't get more bare bones than that, unless you live in the terminal [05:16] Poisoned_Dragon: what about peppermint? [05:16] I wasn't here for the link [05:17] What DE does peppermint use? [05:17] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130773 [05:17] lxde [05:17] I would stay away from Gnome, KDE, and Cinnamon [05:17] agreed [05:17] Well, if peppermint has that, and has a good out of box experience, give it a try. [05:18] I personally am not a fan of lxde as a casual use DE. But, it's great for a workhorse or server pc. [05:18] yeah...i liked their website and it seems a good fit for the person i'd be giving the computer too...like "here, just click this icon for internet and check your gmail and watch a youtube video" lol [05:19] yeah lxde is nothing special, but for simple, special use purposes like this, it works [05:20] It honestly amazes me what chips are still being made in the pci/agp interface. [05:20] running cairo dock without gl on even works...then i can kill that boring lxde panel [05:20] A geforce 6 can handle a pretty DE just fine. [05:20] I use Plank [05:20] Docky seems cool too. [05:20] i'll have to look into those [05:21] Hell, A GeForce6 is win7 compatible. So. it'll work wonders on any linux DE. [05:21] hello! I've got a mouse size/theme problem - the size/theme changes, depending on what program it's hovering over. [05:21] yeah...i think i'm sold on it [05:22] thanks for your advice [05:22] Google has shown many people with the problem, and some solutions, but none are working so far. Anyone here seen this, and have a solution, by chance? thanks! [05:22] whoa, it's ony 22 dollars?! Not bad if you want to resurrect something. [05:22] i know...you can't really beat that price [05:22] Could you imagine a P4 with that card? lol [05:23] yeah [08:32] by mistake i connected a filetype to a wrong programm - now everytime i start this filetype there is an error message. how to change the connection again? [11:18] hi there [11:18] when i lock my screen i see primal Xscreensaver unlocker [11:19] how to replace it to something current with gtk look? [11:19] easiest option id to wait until 14.04 [11:19] *is [11:20] and the next option? [11:27] install gnome-screensaver or something that does the job and remove xscreensaver [11:59] Sysi, gnome-screensaver gnome to install? [11:59] seems no [12:02] now i dont have screensaver settings in control panel [12:02] and it locks screen like gnome3 [12:03] how to enable locker looks like login screen? [12:05] http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/lightdm-session-locker-light-locker.html [12:31] where can i found additional panel items? [12:32] xperement, eh? like what? [12:33] xperement: Try: apt-cache search xfce4 | grep panel [12:35] thanks [12:37] this distro eats less then my android 4 on the phone [12:37] xperement: Here's a better way to see the same info: http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/start [12:43] I gots a problem with xubuntu 13.10 after an update I did [12:44] it's small but that cool new wallpaper that came with the new release has disappeared and I can't seam to get it back [12:45] disappeared? [12:45] search xubuntu-wallpaper.prg [12:45] yup replaced by a grey background, [12:46] search google or the file system? [12:46] file system [12:46] did you right click the desktop and select Desktop Settings, to see if the pic shows up in the backdrop list? [12:46] yes first thing I tried [12:47] What was the background? [12:47] the search app brought back no files found [12:47] what manages mounting of my partitions? Some of them are not in fstab but i see them in Thunar, and when i click them, they mount.... What is doing this exactly? [12:48] gvfs-mount [12:48] it was the new blue wall paper that came with xubuntu 13.10 the one will little square patterns towards the bottom [12:49] better question does anyone know where the system wallpapers are stored? [12:49] MtDewFella: http://docs.xubuntu.org/1304/guide-desktop.html [12:49] Poisoned_Dragon: how do i mount a partition under a different name? [12:50] /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops [12:50] A different name? [12:50] Please elaborate. [12:52] thanks that did it [12:52] Poisoned_Dragon: the label of the partition is "Data" but its location mount is: /media/user/35395d04-4025-4db3-9449-eed1fafa4a9f/ -> how do i change this to something more human friendly? [12:53] Is that the UUID? [12:53] My drives don't mount with the UUID as the name. How strange. [12:55] Poisoned_Dragon: yes, that seems to be uuid [12:55] Poisoned_Dragon: i am confused now with gvfs-mount vs mount vs fstab [12:56] Well, gvfs-mount is actually stupid simple. It does the heavy work for you, in regards to making folders and mounting drives to them. [12:57] So, if you wanted to mount a usb drive that you just attached you would type: gvfs-mount -d /dev/sdc1 [12:57] -d tells it to mount by device, sdc1 is the first partition of the usb. [12:57] It'll make the folder in /media/user and mount it. [12:58] Usually by name of the volume. But, it's using the UUID as if the label doesn't exist. [12:59] If you want to unmount it's: gvfs-mount -u /media/user/mounted_folder. [12:59] Poof! the volume is unmounted [12:59] It's so awesome. :) [12:59] I setup public/private key auth on my SSH server [12:59] how do I use Thunar to connect? [13:00] DJJeff: http://askubuntu.com/questions/70423/how-do-i-connect-to-a-server-with-thunar-in-xubuntu [13:00] Poisoned_Dragon: thanks for the explanation [13:01] np, point is, that's what thunar is doing. [13:01] baizon, that does not work I am not using password auth on my SSH [13:01] hello, [13:01] Poisoned_Dragon: i see, thats why it automatically shows my partition in the Devices section on the left [13:01] Maybe you should relabel it while it's mounted. Then the label might take [13:01] Oh wait... [13:01] I am facing an issue when launching sypder [13:02] spyder [13:02] Not while it's mounted.... I use gparted to unmount and alter labels. [13:02] Poisoned_Dragon: I have created a label but it didn't change anything until i unmount/mount again. Now the folders are named by the labels [13:02] Poisoned_Dragon: yes, it shouldn't be done while mounter [13:02] anybody tried to launch Spyder on xubuntu13.10 ? [13:03] So, everything good now, bosnjak? [13:03] Poisoned_Dragon: yes :) thank you for quick and clear clarification :) [13:04] No problem [13:06] when is PULSEAUDIO gonna be fixed for skype in ubuntu [13:06] typing $ PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 skype [13:06] DJJeff, no deadline has been stated [13:06] is getting lame [13:07] DJJeff, patches are welcome [13:08] screw patches lol [13:08] DJJeff, ok, first, watch your language, and second, getting lame you're not sending a patch [13:08] I have no probs with skype and pulse audio [13:08] it worked just fine before pulseaudio updated [13:09] after pulseaudio updated had todo $ PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 skype [13:09] Poisoned_Dragon, you are of the lucky few [13:09] No, I used a fix [13:10] why did you use a fix [13:10] upload your fix to the upstream [13:10] so we can all be fixed [13:10] Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa using your favorite text editor [13:10] Poisoned_Dragon, so logical! [13:11] At the end of this line "load-module module-udev-detect use_ucm=0" add "tsched=0" [13:11] then reboot [13:11] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype [13:11] Or, if you're savvy, restart alsa [13:11] add the fix to the repo [13:11] I would just reboot [13:11] DJJeff, please. [13:12] DJJeff, if it's so important to you, why don't you do that yourself? [13:12] Even if it was something to add, it's not skype's fault. [13:12] cause it will break each time pulseaudio is updated [13:12] It was pulseaudio writing over default.pa [13:12] Just add tsched=0 back to it [13:13] That's what I did after upgrading 13.04 to 13.10. [13:17] after microsoft bought skype [13:18] it turned to crap anyways [13:18] DJJeff, last warning; watch the attitude. [13:18] Then, don't use skype. :P [13:18] !skype|DJJeff, [13:18] DJJeff,: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [13:19] DJJeff, for real. use it, don't use, use an alternative. rants/complaints are not the goal here. [13:19] if skype is not broken its pulseaudio fault if pulseaudio is not broken its skype fault [13:19] they cant make up their mind [13:19] Hell, you don't even need the skype client if you have a Live/Hotmail/Outlook account. [13:20] Outlook.com integrated skype contacts. [13:20] You can even make skype calls. [13:20] All in your browser [13:20] Poisoned_Dragon, you must work for microsoft [13:20] if you <3 it so much [13:20] No, I just do't come here and complain about things I don't fully understand. :P [13:21] DJJeff, ok now you're just being petulant. Do you have an actual support question? if not: #ubuntu-offtopic. Please. [13:21] getting mixed messages from both pulseaudio and skype [13:22] Ooo...Petulant is a nifty word [13:22] :) thesaurus is not a dinosaur ... [13:22] tee hee [13:25] hmph, [13:26] oh boy and i thought, i would become an op :D [13:26] :) [13:27] hehe [13:27] lol [13:27] I wouldn't have the patience. My inner Samuel L. Jackson is only JUST restrained as it is. [13:31] For some reason my laptop (plugged into my monitor over HDMI) has the monitor set as the default audio output. How can I go about disabling the HDMI audio completely and having the laptop speakers be the default audio? [13:32] You shouln't need to disable hdmi. Just select the onboard sound as the default, in the pulse audio mixer. [13:33] click on the speaker icon, then "Sound Settings" [13:33] Yep, I'm in Volume Control. Just looking for how to make it the primary. [13:34] Click on the check mark next to the sound device you want to use [13:34] Under the tab, "Output Devices" [13:35] Yep, I have it checked on the speakers... But I don't hear audio. [13:35] is it muted? [13:35] Nope, let me screenshot it [13:36] cool [13:36] Sounds like audio works in some places, but it's not working within Chrome [13:37] juken, while you play a stream, you go to pavucontrol and choose to wich output you want that particular stream to go [13:37] close and reload chrome. for fun and profit [13:37] Poisoned_Dragon: tried that :) [13:37] GridCube: I'll try [13:38] GridCube: that did it [13:38] you can choose to have different programs at the same time one streaming sound to hdmi and th other to analog [13:38] Thanks guys [13:38] no prob [13:38] Thanks, GridCube. [13:38] :) [13:38] I actually didn't know that, myself. I thought it would just migrate on it's own. [13:38] no [13:39] it shouldnt [14:29] hi [14:30] * Poisoned_Dragon waves violently. [14:30] I just upgraded to 13.10 64 bits and I cannot play any sound. Alsamixer shows everything right, but the regular sound icon doesnt work [14:30] any tips are welcomed [14:30] so how's your pulseaudio doing then? [14:31] hold on, I got ya [14:31] alsamixer isn't the only thing between you hearing sound and the computer attempting to make the sound [14:31] Myrtti, is that command line?

[21:25] i think there might be something wrong with the checksums on the newest 12.04 alternate... other than the integrity check it all works [21:25] haven: it might [21:26] Makdaam: well, report an issue then [21:26] TheSheep: let me finish the installation first :P [21:26] Makdaam: no, report it now, quickly, before it's too late! ;) [21:27] ok, is there a commandline tool to report problems with Xubuntu? [21:27] sure! [21:27] because the website looks terrible in w3m [21:27] !bugs [21:27] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [21:29] apport... nope, I'll wait [21:29] and the install failed :) [21:29] so the integrity check is fine [21:34] !mirrors [21:34] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Saucy, and help keeping the servers' load low! [21:35] TheSheep: where can I find archival releases? like 12.04 instead of 12.04.3? [21:36] Makdaam: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ [21:36] nope [21:36] that's a symlink to 12.04.3 [21:37] then I have no idea [21:37] wait [21:37] there is a link right there [21:37] "unsupported ubuntu images" [21:37] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ [21:37] http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/xubuntu/releases/12.04.0/release/ looks ok too :) [21:38] see, a little reading can get you a long way! [21:39] googling [21:39] tl;dr just googled it :) [21:40] the link is right there, seriously [21:46] only if you read text above the file listing :) [21:46] not if you click on 12.04 right away because you've been downloading invalid images for the last 2hours from various mirrors [22:28]
