| emma | how is xubuntu looking these days? | 02:19 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | emma: check it out live.. load it up | 02:26 |
| jparr | emma: great on a thinkpad t430s here | 02:45 |
| Pwnna | some how i lost the ability to resize my window with SHIFT + rightclick? | 03:10 |
| Pwnna | how do i get that back? | 03:10 |
| holstein | Pwnna: i suppose you could always reset the .config files for it.. is it not in the window manager settings? | 03:36 |
| Pwnna | holstein: i have a lot of other settings | 03:40 |
| Pwnna | holstein: idk. | 03:40 |
| Pwnna | i don't know what i'm looking for | 03:40 |
| Pwnna | there's a short cut for resizing window | 03:40 |
| Pwnna | but that's not SHIFT + right click | 03:41 |
| redderhs | emma: i'm running 13.04 on a Lenovo Y500 coming from Windows 7, I love it. | 03:46 |
| redderhs | very polished.. | 03:47 |

| slash0mega | hello, dose the xubuntu iso fit on a cd? | 04:59 |
| Unit193 | Nope. | 04:59 |
| slash0mega | ok, thank you for the quick answer :) | 04:59 |
| Unit193 | Problem with that? | 04:59 |
| Unit193 | If the BIOS doesn't support it booting off USB, could see if a BIOS update would fix it. | 05:00 |
| slash0mega | thanks, but i think ill just pick up some dvd's tomorow | 05:01 |

| cousteau | can I set the sound output to mono? one of my earbuds doesn't work | 09:29 |
| cousteau | (tried to do this on another PC with Windows 7 and it can't be done; I mostly want to do this to make my Windows friend envious) | 09:30 |
| cousteau | doesn't seem to be possible graphically | 09:32 |
| Unit193 | http://askubuntu.com/questions/17791/can-i-downmix-stereo-audio-to-mono looks fun in PA. :P | 09:33 |
| cousteau | so seems to be possible but not GUI-ly | 09:34 |
| cousteau | re: my one-eared earphones I'll just store them carefully in the garbage bin and get another ones | 09:40 |

| eva_ | hi upgraded my mothers laptop to 13.10 and her keyboard stopped functioning, its ok in BIOS so its not hardware fault. What can i do? | 11:40 |
| bgardner | eva_: Do you have an external keyboard that you can use to diagnose with? | 11:42 |
| eva_ | bgardner, im using it right now | 11:42 |
| eva_ | external keyboard that it | 11:42 |
| eva_ | Some Tech guy tried to fix it stupid. Now SuperKey does not work on external either.. i have no idea what he done | 11:43 |
| eva_ | i dont want to reinstall the whole os but will if i must | 11:44 |
| bgardner | eva_: I'd start with dmesg if I were you, then - see if any notes in there about the keyboard. | 11:44 |
| bgardner | eva_: Go ahead and pastebin it if you would like me to review it with you. | 11:44 |
| eva_ | bgardner, he messed up shortcuts.. ctrl+alt+T opens another window in xchat instead of terminall..gaaah | 11:45 |
| bgardner | eva_: Yuck. Okay, separate issues though - we'll start with the keyboard. | 11:45 |
| eva_ | cant copy the text lol | 11:46 |
| eva_ | i get ^C in terminal instead while i ctrl+C | 11:46 |
| eva_ | GAHD | 11:46 |
| bgardner | In a terminal, use Ctrl-Shift-C | 11:46 |
| bgardner | Or use the pastebinit command, like this: dmesg | pastebinit | 11:47 |
| bgardner | Ctrl-C has a different meaning in a terminal, that's not broken. | 11:47 |
| eva_ | alt+tab is also broken | 11:48 |
| eva_ | he returned her laptop and said" nooop could not fix it but here is an external keyboard" lol | 11:48 |
| bekks | alt+tab doesnt work in terminal. | 11:48 |
| eva_ | no but switching between windows should | 11:48 |
| eva_ | bgardner, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6381614/ | 11:49 |
| bgardner | eva_: What is the make/model of your laptop? | 11:53 |

| eva_ | lg p1 express dual | 11:54 |
| eva_ | must reboot brb | 11:55 |
| eva_ | bgardner, there | 11:58 |
| bgardner | eva_: There what? | 11:58 |
| eva_ | http://stevesubuntutweaks.blogspot.se/2013/10/laptop-keyboard-stopped-working-after.html bgardner , will try this | 12:00 |
| bgardner | eva_: Found a similar thread on ubuntuforums, here is the link for your reference: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2041483 | 12:01 |
| bgardner | eva_: Definitely sounds like you found the solution in that first link, though. | 12:02 |
| eva_ | bgardner, hey, i solved it with the link i sent | 12:34 |
| eva_ | I want my mother to try xfce instead of unity since Unity is a little demaning on her old laptop.. is installing xfce or xubuntu-desktop the best approach? | 12:35 |
| eva_ | approach | 12:35 |
| eva_ | what do you recommend | 12:35 |
| cfhowlett | eva_, to try xfce just install xfce4. to give her the full meal deal, xubuntu-desktop | 12:36 |
| koegs | xfce is plain xfce, xubuntu-desktop ist xfce with all shiny apps and themes | 12:36 |
| eva_ | cfhowlett, yeah. but will i have double of everything or can my ubuntu install co-exist with xubuntu-desktop fine? | 12:37 |
| cfhowlett | eva_, no doubling and they'll co-exist | 12:38 |
| eva_ | BUT.. won't a lot of unity stuff show up in xubuntu when chose that session? | 12:38 |
| eva_ | Like indicators etc packages installed | 12:38 |
| cfhowlett | eva_, I did this earlier tonight on the company machine. unity in only the interface. the apps will run | 12:39 |
| eva_ | cfhowlett, ah ok! you installed xubuntu-desktop? | 12:39 |
| cfhowlett | and the non-xfce/xubuntu indicators just won't appear | 12:39 |
| eva_ | awesome | 12:39 |
| cfhowlett | eva_, no only xfce | 12:39 |
| eva_ | Ah ok... | 12:39 |
| eva_ | Just tell me what to do i can't make up my mind cfhowlett | 12:40 |
| eva_ | lol | 12:40 |
| cfhowlett | eva_, install xfce4, logout, choose xfce login. OR skip all that | 12:41 |
| cfhowlett | logout, choose the openbox? option and log back in. no unity | 12:41 |
| eva_ | wut | 12:41 |
| koegs | if you install xfce, it will not look like the screenshot at xubuntu.org, you will have a plain xfce but with all apps coming with ubuntu | 12:41 |
| eva_ | koegs, yes, but if i install xubuntu-desktop will i have two update-managers etc? two network managers runnin etc? | 12:42 |
| koegs | nope | 12:42 |
| koegs | both use the same packages, they wont be installed or used twice | 12:42 |
| eva_ | Ah ok.. old issue perhaps i remember i screwed my old system that way | 12:42 |
| eva_ | lots of errors where given | 12:42 |
| eva_ | koegs, so you recommend me to install xubuntu-desktop instead of xfce4? ;) | 12:43 |
| cfhowlett | eva_, that's one reason I suggest ONLY the DE and not the desktop install | 12:43 |
| koegs | if you want the full xubuntu-like experience, yes | 12:43 |
| eva_ | cfhowlett, so it could happen? | 12:44 |
| brainwash | I've installed every single desktop environment on my test system and the xfce and xubuntu sessions run just fine | 12:44 |
| cfhowlett | eva_, nope, pretty sure as koegs said. | 12:44 |
| eva_ | brainwash, wow.. everyone? | 12:44 |
| eva_ | I will install xubuntu-desktop now. i hope she is not mad by me.. i just want to show her how speedy stuff goes | 12:44 |
| brainwash | eva_: yes, unity, kde, gnome, lxde, e17, razor-qt,.. | 12:44 |
| eva_ | but perhaps i should check out xfce4 first | 12:44 |
| eva_ | brainwash, cool | 12:44 |
| eva_ | see if it runs much smoother | 12:45 |
| eva_ | xfce package is not even in ubuntu software center | 12:46 |
| cfhowlett | eva_, sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 12:46 |
| eva_ | thanks | 12:46 |
| eva_ | comeonnnnn | 12:49 |
| eva_ | oh sorry tought i was in another window | 12:49 |
| cfhowlett | eva_, might also want to peek at lubuntu/lxde. same command sequence | 12:50 |
| eva_ | thanks | 12:51 |
| eva_ | sudo apt-get install lxde | 12:51 |

| jax23 | hi genii | 19:04 |
| jax23 | i solved the problem | 19:05 |
| jax23 | i reinstalled the o.s. | 19:05 |
| jax23 | *sigh* | 19:06 |
| jax23 | :-( | 19:06 |
| genii | jax23: Yes, I figured that was probably the only way, as their support page indicated. | 19:07 |
| jax23 | thanks for your interest | 19:07 |
| jax23 | i think so | 19:07 |
| jax23 | bye bye | 19:08 |
| genii | jax23: You know where I am if you need assistance another time :) | 19:13 |
| Nate_ | Hello. Could someone please help me with a sound issue? | 20:04 |
| Nate_ | I have recently installed Xubuntu 13;10 and am having the non-functioning sound indicator issue | 20:05 |
| Nate_ | I have tried the fixes listed here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/360806/volume-indicator-issue-after-xubuntu-13-10-upgrade | 20:05 |
| Nate_ | and here: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/xubuntu-1310-sound-indicator-fix.html | 20:05 |
| Nate_ | but neither seems to have worked. | 20:05 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Nate_, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1208204 | 20:06 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1208204 in indicator-sound (Ubuntu) "indicator-sound no longer functions with xfce4-indicator-plugin" [High,Triaged] | 20:06 |
| ljunggren | i deleted it from the panel | 20:06 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Read comment 5 | 20:06 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | then log out and log back in. | 20:07 |
| Nate_ | I tried the fix listed there | 20:07 |
| Nate_ | and I have logged out and back in | 20:07 |
| Nate_ | but it does not work | 20:07 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Then it should be working, unless you have hardware issues. | 20:07 |
| Nate_ | It worked perfectly fine running Ubuntu 13.04 | 20:07 |
| Nate_ | as recently as two hours ago | 20:07 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I use Ubuntu Studio 13.10 | 20:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Fix works fine. | 20:08 |
| Nate_ | Now, I will mention that logging out and back in seems to be saving my session, despite leaving the check box unchecked | 20:08 |
| Nate_ | So I am wondering if it is not reloading the settings in the way it is supposed to | 20:08 |
| ljunggren | have you rebooted | 20:08 |
| ljunggren | just to be sure | 20:08 |
| Nate_ | I have | 20:08 |
| Nate_ | I have ever peformed a complete shutdown | 20:09 |
| Nate_ | *even | 20:09 |
| ljunggren | a ok | 20:09 |
| Nate_ | It is still saving my session | 20:09 |
| Nate_ | and the sound still is not workin | 20:09 |
| Nate_ | *working | 20:09 |
| ljunggren | wait | 20:09 |
| ljunggren | sound is not working? | 20:09 |
| Nate_ | Not at all | 20:09 |
| ljunggren | at all? | 20:09 |
| ljunggren | Ah then its another issue | 20:09 |
| Nate_ | I see | 20:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Yeah, the fix only fixes the indicator. | 20:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | If you're having hardware issues, you must resolve them first. | 20:10 |
| ljunggren | lol | 20:10 |
| ljunggren | i can't even log out? | 20:10 |
| ljunggren | press logout and nothing happens | 20:10 |
| ljunggren | what just happened... | 20:10 |
| ljunggren | is there a command for loging out | 20:11 |
| Nate_ | OK I'll bite. I don't see a proprietary driver that I might have missed. What else could be causing my sound issue? | 20:15 |
| Junka | when will xubuntu will official fix the sound indicator? | 20:18 |
| Nate_ | Ah. Got it. | 20:21 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | What was it? | 20:21 |
| Nate_ | Needed to remove and re-install alsa-pulseaudio apparently | 20:21 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Oh... weird. | 20:21 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | But, as long as you're at full speed | 20:21 |
| Nate_ | sed the first alternate method on this page: http://itsfoss.com/fix-sound-ubuntu-1304-quick-tip/ | 20:21 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | so be it | 20:22 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | cool | 20:23 |
| Nate_ | OK, new problem. I am an idiot and removed the indicator icon, and now can't seem to re-add it. It doesn't appear under "add new items" for the panel | 20:24 |
| Nate_ | The volume CAN be changed with the hardware keys | 20:24 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | the sound indicator isn't a plugin on it's own. | 20:24 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | It's appears in the indicator plugin | 20:25 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | If the indicator plugin is in the panel, it's not the fault of the plugin | 20:25 |
| Nate_ | I restored the indicator, and it brought back network status but not the sound controls | 20:26 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | might need to log out and in again, since you uninstalled/reinstalled that package. | 20:28 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Oh... wait | 20:29 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | did you reload alsa? | 20:29 |
| Nate_ | yes | 20:29 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | sudo alsa force-reload? | 20:29 |
| Nate_ | yes | 20:30 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Hmm... Then I dunno. | 20:30 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Short of rebooting. | 20:30 |
| Nate_ | is there an alternate volume control I can use? | 20:30 |
| Nate_ | well, I can try rebooting. I'm not chatting on the machine I'm working on | 20:31 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Oh, do that then. | 20:31 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Tell us what happens. | 20:31 |
| Nate_ | will do. | 20:31 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I gotta get me some headache pills. | 20:31 |
| Nate_ | Soft reboot or all the way off to all the way back on? | 20:31 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Try logging out first. | 20:33 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Then worry about going all the way. | 20:33 |
| Nate_ | logging out didn't work | 20:34 |
| Nate_ | Trying a complete power off | 20:34 |
| Nate_ | that didn't work either. | 20:35 |
| Nate_ | Is there an alternate volume control I can try instead? | 20:35 |
| Nate_ | I know it can be changed. The hardware keys for it work fine. | 20:35 |
| Nate_ | OK, I was able to re-inable it in the startup panel | 20:41 |
| Nate_ | the only odd problem is that the icon is black instead of white | 20:41 |
| Nate_ | Also, there is no sound option in settings manager. | 20:43 |
| Nate_ | Close enough for now I guess. Thanks for the help. | 20:45 |
| ljunggren | It's so boring i get bad UI performance with fgrlx drivers but bad performance in game with opensource drivers | 21:04 |
