=== Guest94390 is now known as Wulfe [02:19] how is xubuntu looking these days? [02:26] emma: check it out live.. load it up [02:45] emma: great on a thinkpad t430s here [03:10] some how i lost the ability to resize my window with SHIFT + rightclick? [03:10] how do i get that back? [03:36] Pwnna: i suppose you could always reset the .config files for it.. is it not in the window manager settings? [03:40] holstein: i have a lot of other settings [03:40] holstein: idk. [03:40] i don't know what i'm looking for [03:40] there's a short cut for resizing window [03:41] but that's not SHIFT + right click [03:46] emma: i'm running 13.04 on a Lenovo Y500 coming from Windows 7, I love it. [03:47] very polished.. === pythong is now known as namaustin [04:59] hello, dose the xubuntu iso fit on a cd? [04:59] Nope. [04:59] ok, thank you for the quick answer :) [04:59] Problem with that? [05:00] If the BIOS doesn't support it booting off USB, could see if a BIOS update would fix it. [05:01] thanks, but i think ill just pick up some dvd's tomorow [05:06] hey guys [05:07] greetings, and welcome [05:08] Thank you! === Catie is now known as Guest45190 === map is now known as Guest95696 [09:29] can I set the sound output to mono? one of my earbuds doesn't work [09:30] (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) [09:32] doesn't seem to be possible graphically [09:33] http://askubuntu.com/questions/17791/can-i-downmix-stereo-audio-to-mono looks fun in PA. :P [09:34] so seems to be possible but not GUI-ly [09:40] re: my one-eared earphones I'll just store them carefully in the garbage bin and get another ones === [afk] is now known as Guest76338 [11:40] 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? [11:42] eva_: Do you have an external keyboard that you can use to diagnose with? [11:42] bgardner, im using it right now [11:42] external keyboard that it [11:43] Some Tech guy tried to fix it stupid. Now SuperKey does not work on external either.. i have no idea what he done [11:44] i dont want to reinstall the whole os but will if i must [11:44] eva_: I'd start with dmesg if I were you, then - see if any notes in there about the keyboard. [11:44] eva_: Go ahead and pastebin it if you would like me to review it with you. [11:45] bgardner, he messed up shortcuts.. ctrl+alt+T opens another window in xchat instead of terminall..gaaah [11:45] eva_: Yuck. Okay, separate issues though - we'll start with the keyboard. [11:46] cant copy the text lol [11:46] i get ^C in terminal instead while i ctrl+C [11:46] GAHD [11:46] In a terminal, use Ctrl-Shift-C [11:47] Or use the pastebinit command, like this: dmesg | pastebinit [11:47] Ctrl-C has a different meaning in a terminal, that's not broken. [11:48] alt+tab is also broken [11:48] he returned her laptop and said" nooop could not fix it but here is an external keyboard" lol [11:48] alt+tab doesnt work in terminal. [11:48] no but switching between windows should [11:49] bgardner, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6381614/ [11:53] eva_: What is the make/model of your laptop? === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [11:54] lg p1 express dual [11:55] must reboot brb [11:58] bgardner, there [11:58] eva_: There what? [12:00] http://stevesubuntutweaks.blogspot.se/2013/10/laptop-keyboard-stopped-working-after.html bgardner , will try this [12:01] eva_: Found a similar thread on ubuntuforums, here is the link for your reference: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2041483 [12:02] eva_: Definitely sounds like you found the solution in that first link, though. [12:34] bgardner, hey, i solved it with the link i sent [12:35] 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] approach [12:35] what do you recommend [12:36] eva_, to try xfce just install xfce4. to give her the full meal deal, xubuntu-desktop [12:36] xfce is plain xfce, xubuntu-desktop ist xfce with all shiny apps and themes [12:37] cfhowlett, yeah. but will i have double of everything or can my ubuntu install co-exist with xubuntu-desktop fine? [12:38] eva_, no doubling and they'll co-exist [12:38] BUT.. won't a lot of unity stuff show up in xubuntu when chose that session? [12:38] Like indicators etc packages installed [12:39] eva_, I did this earlier tonight on the company machine. unity in only the interface. the apps will run [12:39] cfhowlett, ah ok! you installed xubuntu-desktop? [12:39] and the non-xfce/xubuntu indicators just won't appear [12:39] awesome [12:39] eva_, no only xfce [12:39] Ah ok... [12:40] Just tell me what to do i can't make up my mind cfhowlett [12:40] lol [12:41] eva_, install xfce4, logout, choose xfce login. OR skip all that [12:41] logout, choose the openbox? option and log back in. no unity [12:41] wut [12:41] 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 [12:42] koegs, yes, but if i install xubuntu-desktop will i have two update-managers etc? two network managers runnin etc? [12:42] nope [12:42] both use the same packages, they wont be installed or used twice [12:42] Ah ok.. old issue perhaps i remember i screwed my old system that way [12:42] lots of errors where given [12:43] koegs, so you recommend me to install xubuntu-desktop instead of xfce4? ;) [12:43] eva_, that's one reason I suggest ONLY the DE and not the desktop install [12:43] if you want the full xubuntu-like experience, yes [12:44] cfhowlett, so it could happen? [12:44] I've installed every single desktop environment on my test system and the xfce and xubuntu sessions run just fine [12:44] eva_, nope, pretty sure as koegs said. [12:44] brainwash, wow.. everyone? [12:44] 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] eva_: yes, unity, kde, gnome, lxde, e17, razor-qt,.. [12:44] but perhaps i should check out xfce4 first [12:44] brainwash, cool [12:45] see if it runs much smoother [12:46] xfce package is not even in ubuntu software center [12:46] eva_, sudo apt-get install xfce4 [12:46] thanks [12:49] comeonnnnn [12:49] oh sorry tought i was in another window [12:50] eva_, might also want to peek at lubuntu/lxde. same command sequence [12:51] thanks [12:51] sudo apt-get install lxde [14:19] hello [14:19] italian chan please [14:19] !it [14:19] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [14:53] Hello World. I am new to ubuntu. I installed XUbuntu on my netbook and i am searching a way to see my HDD's. I am searching for 30min now and i can't find it. [19:04] hi genii [19:05] i solved the problem [19:05] i reinstalled the o.s. [19:06] *sigh* [19:06] :-( [19:07] jax23: Yes, I figured that was probably the only way, as their support page indicated. [19:07] thanks for your interest [19:07] i think so [19:08] bye bye [19:13] jax23: You know where I am if you need assistance another time :) [20:04] Hello. Could someone please help me with a sound issue? [20:05] I have recently installed Xubuntu 13;10 and am having the non-functioning sound indicator issue [20:05] I have tried the fixes listed here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/360806/volume-indicator-issue-after-xubuntu-13-10-upgrade [20:05] and here: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/xubuntu-1310-sound-indicator-fix.html [20:05] but neither seems to have worked. [20:06] Nate_, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1208204 [20:06] Ubuntu bug 1208204 in indicator-sound (Ubuntu) "indicator-sound no longer functions with xfce4-indicator-plugin" [High,Triaged] [20:06] i deleted it from the panel [20:06] Read comment 5 [20:07] then log out and log back in. [20:07] I tried the fix listed there [20:07] and I have logged out and back in [20:07] but it does not work [20:07] Then it should be working, unless you have hardware issues. [20:07] It worked perfectly fine running Ubuntu 13.04 [20:07] as recently as two hours ago [20:08] I use Ubuntu Studio 13.10 [20:08] Fix works fine. [20:08] Now, I will mention that logging out and back in seems to be saving my session, despite leaving the check box unchecked [20:08] So I am wondering if it is not reloading the settings in the way it is supposed to [20:08] have you rebooted [20:08] just to be sure [20:08] I have [20:09] I have ever peformed a complete shutdown [20:09] *even [20:09] a ok [20:09] It is still saving my session [20:09] and the sound still is not workin [20:09] *working [20:09] wait [20:09] sound is not working? [20:09] Not at all [20:09] at all? [20:09] Ah then its another issue [20:09] I see [20:10] Yeah, the fix only fixes the indicator. [20:10] If you're having hardware issues, you must resolve them first. [20:10] lol [20:10] i can't even log out? [20:10] press logout and nothing happens [20:10] what just happened... [20:11] is there a command for loging out [20:15] OK I'll bite. I don't see a proprietary driver that I might have missed. What else could be causing my sound issue? [20:18] when will xubuntu will official fix the sound indicator? [20:21] Ah. Got it. [20:21] What was it? [20:21] Needed to remove and re-install alsa-pulseaudio apparently [20:21] Oh... weird. [20:21] But, as long as you're at full speed [20:21] sed the first alternate method on this page: http://itsfoss.com/fix-sound-ubuntu-1304-quick-tip/ [20:22] so be it [20:23] cool [20:24] 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] The volume CAN be changed with the hardware keys [20:24] the sound indicator isn't a plugin on it's own. [20:25] It's appears in the indicator plugin [20:25] If the indicator plugin is in the panel, it's not the fault of the plugin [20:26] I restored the indicator, and it brought back network status but not the sound controls [20:28] might need to log out and in again, since you uninstalled/reinstalled that package. [20:29] Oh... wait [20:29] did you reload alsa? [20:29] yes [20:29] sudo alsa force-reload? [20:30] yes [20:30] Hmm... Then I dunno. [20:30] Short of rebooting. [20:30] is there an alternate volume control I can use? [20:31] well, I can try rebooting. I'm not chatting on the machine I'm working on [20:31] Oh, do that then. [20:31] Tell us what happens. [20:31] will do. [20:31] I gotta get me some headache pills. [20:31] Soft reboot or all the way off to all the way back on? [20:33] Try logging out first. [20:33] Then worry about going all the way. [20:34] logging out didn't work [20:34] Trying a complete power off [20:35] that didn't work either. [20:35] Is there an alternate volume control I can try instead? [20:35] I know it can be changed. The hardware keys for it work fine. [20:41] OK, I was able to re-inable it in the startup panel [20:41] the only odd problem is that the icon is black instead of white [20:43] Also, there is no sound option in settings manager. [20:45] Close enough for now I guess. Thanks for the help. [21:04] It's so boring i get bad UI performance with fgrlx drivers but bad performance in game with opensource drivers [21:04] dilema [21:04] So play games more often, or dont play them anymore ;) [21:04] yup [21:05] something like that [21:05] actually im in the wrong channel because on xfce i don't have this issue [21:05] lol [21:07] sorry === map is now known as Guest72534 [21:14] what's the recommend way to fix the boot process (plymouth?) after installing the nvidia proprietary drivers? === Guest72534 is now known as mapps [21:15] hey [21:15] how do you guys watch movies without screentearing [21:28] ljunggren: maybe there are settings in the graphics driver you can try? maybe you can try different video output method in the media player? [21:29] ljunggren: come back and tell us what media player you used [21:31] parole [21:40] i dont know what i have done now.. but my UI is really choppy but i get like 3000fps in glxgears..i use to get 800.. [21:41] and when put vsync on in amd ccc settings i get 30fps.. i have 60hz screen [23:11] :) === HiddenDjinn is now known as Guest76993 === Guest76993 is now known as HiddenDjinn === HiddenDjinn is now known as Guest95813 === Guest95813 is now known as HiddenDjinn
