| mushrooman | Hi | 02:54 |
| mushrooman | Why does Xubuntu lag so much? | 03:01 |
| mushrooman | I removed Nouveau and the lag is gone, but I'm stuck at 800x600 | 03:02 |
| ruien | I run nvidia drivers on dual-monitor setup, 1920x1080 & 1600x900, I'm using "nvidia-319-updates" package on xubuntu 13.10 -- no lag whatsoever | 03:05 |
| mushrooman | It's not as bad a unity Ubuntu, but there's pretty horrific draw bugs and software manager lags just animating icons | 03:06 |
| ruien | that sounds like a driver incompatibility. Which driver are you using, and is it compatible with your video card? | 03:07 |
| mushrooman | It's Nouveau | 03:09 |
| xub350 | mushrooman: what video card do you have? | 03:09 |
| mushrooman | Geforce 4 MX 440 | 03:09 |
| xub350 | that's the problem | 03:10 |
| xub350 | you need the drivers version 96.xx | 03:10 |
| ruien | those, i think, are for the 2.6.32* kernel series (circa xubuntu 10.04) - is that right? | 03:11 |
| xub350 | give me one sec... all he needs to do is add new PPA.. i just don't remeber wish ones | 03:12 |
| mushrooman | I looked in "additional drivers" and there's nothing | 03:21 |
| holstein | mushrooman: i would try the vesa driver | 03:49 |
| holstein | mushrooman: maybe the xswat ppa is what xub350 was referring to | 03:50 |
| glenrock | how do i add a picture for my account so it shows up in the login screen? | 04:26 |
| holstein | glenrock: http://askubuntu.com/questions/47186/is-there-a-way-to-change-user-picture-in-xubuntu-and-actually-display-it-on-log suggests "Create a 96x72 png (PNG) and renamed it as ~/.face" | 04:29 |

| glenrock | worked :) | 04:37 |
| xubuntu400 | hola | 04:57 |
| xubuntu400 | i can someone help with my auidio card? i just installed Xubuntu 12.04 but i got no audio | 04:58 |

| xubuntu207 | i have a problem getting a wireless usb modem to work in xubuntu..... and I'm a newbie | 06:34 |

| xubuntu207 | anyone? | 06:35 |
| ruien | run into a similar issue myself with a different usb modem (G3), only has windows drivers, never got it to work | 06:39 |
| ruien | is this similar, or does yours actually have a linux driver | 06:40 |
| xubuntu207 | nope although it is supposed to use ath9k_htc | 06:43 |
| xubuntu207 | when I checked using dmesg in the CLI it showed that it couldn't retrieve the firmweare | 06:44 |
| xubuntu207 | er, typo! firmware | 06:45 |
| Unit193 | sudo modprobe -v ath9k_htc gives what? | 06:45 |
| xubuntu207 | got a bit of a problem, I just dicovered that i messed up with the root password so I can't use SU | 06:46 |
| xubuntu207 | forgotten my root password, jees will i have to reinstall xubuntu | 06:47 |
| xubuntu207 | ? | 06:47 |
| ruien | does your user have sudo access? If you do, you enter your own password, not root's password, and you can log in with root using "sudo su -" | 06:47 |
| Unit193 | sudo -i | 06:47 |
| xubuntu207 | ok, i'll try that now | 06:48 |
| xubuntu207 | worked! | 06:48 |
| xubuntu207 | modprobe givessudo modprobe -v ath9k_htc nothing | 06:49 |

| xubuntu207 | i mean running that command in the terminal results in nothing | 06:52 |
| xubuntu207 | ehm, the wireless adpater works, I just tried it on Windows 7 on another machine.... and on openSUSE 13.1 too | 06:54 |
| xubuntu207 | but I would like to get it working on xubuntu to use with this machine | 06:54 |
| Unit193 | It's in the kernel, don't know why it shouldn't work, but then again never used the device. | 06:57 |
| Unit193 | You could try posting on the forums or askubuntu. | 06:58 |
| xubuntu207 | OK unit193, you're probably right...... It doesn't seem to work on kernels above 3.10... I just updated openSUSE with linux kernel 3.12 and it won't work there either | 07:05 |

| xubuntu257 | Hello everyone, I have a problem with xubuntu. I am not an expert, just an former windows user. When I start xubuntu, it stops and there is a message in the screen "out of range" I tried to search a solution in google but I couldnt... | 10:37 |
| TheSheep | the message is displayed by your monitor screen, not by ubuntu itself | 10:37 |
| TheSheep | it means that the resolution that your xubuntu is set too is too hight for your monitor to display | 10:38 |
| TheSheep | try running it in the safe mode and changing to the right resolution for your screen | 10:38 |
| xubuntu257 | Ok, I try that way I have to check internet to know how.. Now i start xubuntu from usb and it works, I try from here. Thanks for you answer. | 10:41 |
| TheSheep | I think if you press esc at the boot, it should show you a menu where you can choose to boot in rescue mode | 10:41 |
| xubuntu257 | Ok, I try. Thank you. I'm very lost on this issues... | 10:43 |
| Junka | esc? I thought the menu is brought up by holding shift or something | 10:48 |

| ovrflw0x | or will updating fix this issue? elfy | 11:15 |

| Junka | hope it will be fixed soon | 11:19 |
| ovrflw0x | elfy, what if fix arrives, will i have to change back "Exec" line to what it was before? | 11:20 |
| elfy | ovrflw0x: using that fix any update to it will change the file as required | 11:20 |
| ovrflw0x | so no need to worry right? | 11:21 |
| elfy | should be ok - but if an update to it occurs which breaks it redo the fix, though I don't think it's likely | 11:22 |
| ovrflw0x | how will i know if update breaks it? | 11:23 |
| nlsthzn | this issue is thus far the only thing that has effected my 13.10 install... at least the fix is easy :) | 11:23 |

| Bosi | Hello guys. I have a problem here: The software update window appears here saying that there are 68,5MB to be downloaded, but when I click to install it, it says that I don't have permission. What should I do? | 15:26 |
| zukeprime | open terminal, run these commands: | 15:33 |
| zukeprime | sudo apt-get update | 15:33 |
| zukeprime | sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:33 |
| zukeprime | close the software update window...you don't need it | 15:33 |
| Bosi | well... here is the thing, I've done that. | 15:34 |
| zukeprime | try this: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 15:34 |
| Bosi | but this window keeps popping up saying that there are the 68,5MB to be installed. but when I go through terminal, says that nothing was installed and 4 were not updated. | 15:35 |
| zukeprime | did you try the dist-upgrade command? | 15:36 |
| Bosi | just did, seems to have worked. | 15:36 |
| zukeprime | I feel your pain. I like the software update window to review updates, etc...but on 13.10 it seems to have been borked | 15:36 |
| Bosi | zukeprime, can you explain me what does this command line dist-upgrade means? | 15:37 |
| Bosi | zukeprime, yeah, since I upgraded I've had a lot of issues so far. | 15:37 |
| zukeprime | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto | 15:39 |
| Bosi | zukeprime, and thanks for your help by the way. | 15:39 |
| zukeprime | dist-upgrade is not distribution upgrade...it basically is a smarter conflict resolution scheme | 15:39 |
| zukeprime | so when conflicts are encountered in a regular upgrade, the dist-upgrade prioritizes so to speak | 15:40 |
| zukeprime | np | 15:40 |
| Bosi | haha yeah, the name got me confused. | 15:40 |
| Bosi | thanks, have a good day! | 15:40 |

| elfy | wrongOS: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexubuntuprecise | 16:38 |

I already unmarked the options in "Session and Startup" and clicked to clean sessions saved. And already used the command rm -rfv ~/.cache/sessions/ ... What else am I missing? It is so fuckin annoying to have all my applications left open re-opening on startup. | 16:39 |
| elfy | wrongOS: if you copy paste the command to remove ubuntu it alos includes the one to install xubuntu-desktop | 16:41 |
| wrongOS | ah, rad. thank you very much, have a good one | 16:41 |

| Travis | are you kidding me? | 17:13 |
| Bosi | baizon: by clicking "restart"? is there any specific way to do it? | 17:14 |
| zukeprime | bosi. have you looked at settings-->session and startup-->session tab-->clear saved sessions | 17:15 |
| zukeprime | then save a clean session | 17:15 |

| baizon | Bosi: http://linux.die.net/man/1/xfce4-session-logout | 17:16 |
| baizon | Bosi: i've a script which does restart with the "--fast" parameter. This solved my problem | 17:17 |
| baizon | Bosi: something like "xfce4-session-logout --reboot --fast" | 17:17 |
| Bosi | I mean, when I did all those things, when I restart, it doesn't reopen the applications. BUT, on the next time I restart, it reopens everything I left opened in that session. | 17:19 |
| Bosi | baizon, I'll give it a try. | 17:19 |
| baizon | Bosi: yes had the same issue, this command fixed it for me | 17:20 |
| Bosi | baizon, great, just finishing a download here, in 5 minutes I'll try it and see if it worked. | 17:20 |
| zukeprime | Bosi quick check. When you log out or restart the logout dialogue pops up. On it is a check box to save sessions. Have you checked that | 17:21 |
| Bosi | thanks to all for the help, I really appreciate it. | 17:21 |

| Travis | I don't think so | 17:28 |

| knome | Travis, can you answer the question i asked you so i can help you debug the problem? | 17:29 |
| knome | Travis, what did you remove the application with? | 17:30 |
| Travis | I responded | 17:30 |
| Travis | read up | 17:30 |
| Travis | It appears there's an icon somewhere that was created that I can't find. | 17:30 |
| knome | Travis, yes, sounds like that; but how did you remove the applications? | 17:31 |
| knome | -s | 17:31 |
| Travis | I don't do command line stuff. | 17:31 |
| Travis | I don't remember how. | 17:31 |
| knome | did you remove it with synaptic package manager? ubuntu software center? | 17:31 |
| === azeam is now known as azeam_afk | ||
| Travis | What I am saying is that I may have created a shortcut that I can't find to remove. It looks like an uninstall gone wrong. | 17:32 |
| knome | ok then, what's the application? | 17:33 |
| Travis | PlayOnLinux | 17:33 |
| knome | try finding a .desktop file for that with catfish | 17:34 |
| Travis | I have it installed & want it kept that way, but want the shortcut created to disappear. I already have one that I like. | 17:34 |
| Travis | Did that | 17:34 |
| Travis | It's active. | 17:34 |
| Travis | am looking right at it. | 17:34 |
| Bosi | baizon, so, I might have missed something | 17:35 |
| Bosi | baizon, I restarted that way, it worked.... but do I always have to restart that way to make it work? Like, I clicked "restart" with a couple of applications oppened, and they were re-opened on the next session. | 17:35 |
| knome | adding a row that says "NotShowIn=XFCE" should make that icon disappear from xubuntu's menus | 17:36 |
| knome | Travis, ^ | 17:36 |
| Travis | That means it's still there | 17:36 |
| Travis | I can't alter that | 17:36 |
| baizon | Bosi: well, you can create a menu entry with a custom .desktop file. There you can put it and name it "reboot" for example | 17:36 |
| Travis | It's for an active program. | 17:36 |
| Travis | I will have to erase the entire OS and start over. | 17:36 |
| knome | Travis, no. | 17:37 |
| knome | Travis, adding that line will mean the icon won't show up in xubuntu's menus. | 17:37 |
| Travis | That means it's still there, just hidden. | 17:37 |
| Bosi | baizon, bottom line... this is a really annoying bug, right? | 17:37 |
| Travis | I want it completely removed. | 17:37 |
| knome | Travis, then delete the file | 17:38 |
| baizon | Bosi: yes :) | 17:38 |
| knome | Travis, but if it's a .desktop file for an installed application, the next update will probably just bring it back. | 17:38 |
| Bosi | baizon, haha thanks! | 17:39 |
| Travis | The only way to fix my problem is a total re-install | 17:40 |
| Travis | SOmething's that screwed up | 17:40 |
| knome | Travis, nope, that's wrong. but if you think that's the easiest way for you, feel free to do that. | 17:41 |
| Travis | You aren't understanding the issue. | 17:41 |
| Travis | There is no .desktop file for this shortcut. | 17:41 |
| knome | you just said there is and you have it open. | 17:42 |
| knome | you aren't being logical | 17:42 |
| Travis | I think you're the one not being logical | 17:42 |
| Travis | There IS a .desktop file for PlayOnLinux that works. | 17:42 |
| Travis | Yet, it won't show up in the menu | 17:42 |
| Travis | The menu shortcut for it has failed and can't be altered via the "Main Menu" in "Menu Settings" for some reason. | 17:43 |
| Travis | THus, I have to reformat. | 17:43 |
| knome | if you insist. | 17:43 |
