| Guest12528 | My screen resolution is set too high. Once lightdm loads I lose picture. How do I fix this? | 02:19 |
|---|---|---|
| Guest12528 | the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution for XFCE is blank. no info on what to do if you screen res is too high. | 02:39 |

| Guest12528 | ? | 04:04 |
| Guest12528 | i just want to be able to use my computer again >_< | 04:04 |
| cfhowlett | Guest12528, ask in #ubuntu - I'd guess there's a way to override the resolution, but I don't know how | 04:06 |
| Guest12528 | it' starting to look like i should just re-install | 04:08 |
| cfhowlett | Guest12528, it | 04:09 |
| cfhowlett | it's a setting; probably an xf** setting. wait one | 04:09 |
| cfhowlett | Guest12528, it'll be the display settings stored by xfconf. nukinng that file will invoke reconfiguration. have you a live cd/usb? | 04:11 |
| Guest12528 | yeah | 04:12 |
| cfhowlett | Guest12528, don't quote me on this but ... | 04:12 |
| cfhowlett | booting the live session and going to your settings folder, killing xfconf means the default will then be able to boot. | 04:13 |
| Guest12528 | bah. gotta lookup how to fix the ACL not wanting to mount stuff blah blah error from 12.10 | 04:16 |
| cfhowlett | Guest12528, ok then. best of luck | 04:18 |

| Guest12528 | I need more info. not sure exactly what your asking | 04:24 |
| Guest12528 | booting the live USB in persistant mode somehow broke grub? im just gonna re-install thanks for the help cfhowlett | 04:26 |

| nlsthzn | morning all, I am currently running xubuntu 13.10 and I am trying to run dual monitors on a nvidia 8800GT card using the proprietary nvidia driver. Main screen uses a custom edid file to force native resolution of 1920x1080 but my second screen I am only able to get 640x480 and nothing more... any suggestions / assistance would be appreciated... | 05:18 |
| Unit193 | Heya. Before when I've had res issues, xorg -configure from a tty when not running X has worked, another computer uses xrandr to add and switch to it, but not as pretty. | 05:22 |
| nlsthzn | tried xrandr but getting an error when I try to add the new resolution :/ Was just thinking that I haven't re-tried running the nvidia configure command since adding the second screen... going to give that a try too | 05:31 |
| nlsthzn | well that did nothing the xorg.conf files are identical >.< | 05:34 |
| Unit193 | Bah. | 05:40 |
| nlsthzn | well good news is I know have both screens on native resolution... bad news is I have no idea how and why it worked (I basically stuffed up xorg.conf a few times playing with nvidia settings and now it works) | 06:38 |
| nlsthzn | one oddity is that synapse now has a big black background when I use it which is not a train smash but odd :/ | 06:39 |
| === Punna is now known as Pwnna | ||
| nlsthzn | any idea what could be wrong if you loose transparency in Xubuntu? | 07:19 |
| RobertJDohnert | Compositor malfunction | 07:22 |
| nlsthzn | hmm... odd | 07:23 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Is composting turned off? | 07:24 |
| nlsthzn | nope, first thing I checked... well it is enabled, if it is actually on or working I don't know | 07:24 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | One way to know is in Panel Preferences. | 07:25 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | In the Appearance tab, if you see sliders to change the Opacity, or the Alpha Channel, it's on for sure. | 07:26 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Then, adjust to see if the sliders have an effect. | 07:26 |
| nlsthzn | Ah I can't change it :'( | 07:27 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Hmm... I wish I knew why. Never saw the composter tank like that. | 07:28 |
| nlsthzn | so it would seem compositing is not working since I stuffed around with this dual monitor setup :/ | 07:28 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Oh. :( That's really over my head. I've never done multiple monitors in linux. | 07:29 |
| nlsthzn | no worries Poisoned_Dragon , thanks for the assistance anyhow... | 07:31 |
| nlsthzn | seems that Composite extensions for X Server may now be off (and I have no idea how to check this or to enable them now) ... hmm... | 07:45 |
| * nlsthzn is such a noob, was busy making a forum post about compositing not working after stuffing up xorg.conf and I copied/pasted the info to the thread and only then noticed the last bit of the file was "disabling" "compositing" ... so guess who's composting is now working again >.< | 09:05 | |

| Guest94172 | Hello, now my computer motherboard is not working proper, so HDD doesn't work. I want to ask does xubuntu works better in usb memory drive(old verbatim 16gb) than ubuntu? | 12:28 |
| Rory | Guest94172: What do you mean "better" than Ubuntu? What doesn't work on Ubuntu? | 12:29 |
| Guest94172 | On ubuntu firefox stops/crashes every time I play youtube or open another tab. | 12:32 |
| Guest94172 | Everything stops and crashes :D | 12:33 |
| Guest94172 | Trying go to another folder in file manager and window became gray | 12:33 |
| Rory | Guest94172: Well Xubuntu is more lightweight than Ubuntu and has generally lower memory requirements | 12:34 |
| Guest94172 | Only Minecraft works fine | 12:34 |
| Rory | But a lot will depend on how fast your actual flash drive is, too | 12:34 |
| Guest94172 | my computer has 4gb RAM, Q8200 processor (2.33 ghz*4), 512 mb video card. So yeah my old usb memory drive is too slow for that. But now I don't have moeny for new motherboard and HDD | 12:35 |
| alexbeck | Hi everyone. I am having nasty issues with latest ubuntu on Acer Aspire. Could someone look into my situation, described here http://askubuntu.com/questions/375413/been-trying-to-switch-to-linux-for-10-years-help-with-acer-aspire-issues-please | 13:16 |
| koegs | tl;dr - what is the actual question :) | 13:23 |
| alexbeck | koegs the question is do I get this to work bro.... | 13:30 |
| koegs | i think, i have to agree with Web-E :( | 13:32 |
| cfhowlett | let's keep this in ONE channel, shall we? less confusion all around | 13:33 |
| alexbeck | koegs I don't really see how is my reporting not specific enough | 13:34 |
| alexbeck | my system breaks down, that's all I know | 13:34 |
| alexbeck | the message popping up | 13:34 |
| alexbeck | said nothing more than internal system error | 13:35 |
| alexbeck | or something of that sort | 13:35 |
| alexbeck | ... | 13:35 |
| alexbeck | I've done at least 10 different installs | 13:35 |
| alexbeck | and each time | 13:35 |
| koegs | ask a specific question on a specific problem and people will try to help you, post a long text and everybody will ignore it | 13:35 |
| alexbeck | everything just breaks down | 13:35 |
| koegs | basic rule | 13:36 |
| cfhowlett | alexbeck, tells us ZERO. psychic hotline tech support is on vacation. | 13:36 |
| alexbeck | ok. any idea how do I manage to log in | 13:37 |
| alexbeck | cause right now I am on W7 | 13:37 |
| alexbeck | if I was able to log in again | 13:37 |
| alexbeck | i COULD try being more specific | 13:37 |
| cfhowlett | alexbeck, no error messages = nothing to diagnose. if you can't READ and report error messages, no one is going to be able to magically fix it | 13:38 |
| cfhowlett | !details | 13:38 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 13:38 |
| alexbeck | cfhowlett aight man got cha, as I said if there was something specific in that error box I would have put it down | 13:38 |
| alexbeck | it is not my fault the error message was generic | 13:38 |
| alexbeck | please help logging back in, let's start from there | 13:39 |
| cfhowlett | can you boot a live cd? | 13:39 |
| cfhowlett | usb? | 13:39 |
| alexbeck | yes | 13:40 |
| cfhowlett | alexbeck, ok, boot that. run check disk integrity. if it checks out, reinstall. | 13:41 |
| alexbeck | my hdd is basically brand new, I've changed it a month ago? | 13:41 |
| cfhowlett | and? as I said, you've given us nothing to work with, so reinstall is the one thing I know should work. but THIS time, note any error messages you get | 13:42 |
| alexbeck | so this has been happening on different hard drives as well | 13:42 |
| cfhowlett | alexbeck, so it's not a HDD issue then | 13:42 |
| cfhowlett | wait | 13:43 |
| cfhowlett | on multiple computers? | 13:43 |
| alexbeck | no no, just one the acer aspire, I just changed my hard drive recently and I am still having the same issues | 13:43 |
| cfhowlett | alexbeck, multiple hdd fails? Id' suspect your acer is incompatible or malfunctioning. could be a mobo issue ... but if you MUST have ubuntu, install virtualbox to windows. download 32 bit ubuntu. put it in the virtualbox. | 13:45 |
| alexbeck | I dropped it while downloading at full speed that's why it broke down | 13:46 |
| alexbeck | how should I reinstall | 13:46 |
| alexbeck | overwrite it | 13:46 |
| cfhowlett | you dropped what? | 13:46 |
| alexbeck | or format it first | 13:46 |
| alexbeck | I dropped the laptop | 13:46 |
| cfhowlett | you forgot to mention that? | 13:47 |
| alexbeck | yeah I guess ;p I didn't know it could be relevant. This has been happenning even before I dropped it | 13:48 |
| cfhowlett | format the hdd, reinstall windows, reinstall ubuntu. I'm out. good luck. | 13:48 |
| alexbeck | alright, tnx.. | 13:49 |
| nlsthzn | anybody have an idea how I can capture voice via a mic as well as game sounds/music when using ffmpeg? In my audio set-up I can choose Analogue Stereo Output that gives me game/music but no voice, or Analogue Stereo Duplex that gives voice but nothing else?! | 14:14 |
| cfhowlett | nlsthzn, multiple stream capture? sounds like a JACK task, not ffmpeg. I could be wrong. ask in #ubuntustudio | 14:15 |
| nlsthzn | it should also be possible with PulseAudio (I actually got it to work once :p then without changing anything it stopped)... but thanks for the tip cfhowlett | 14:16 |

| Junka | cfhowlett, :) | 14:42 |
| cfhowlett | alexbeck, bring your error report to #ubuntu for more eyes on the issue. | 14:43 |
| alexbeck | koegs, well somebody asked me for that so I guessed it might be relevant | 14:43 |
| alexbeck | cfhowlett, right now I am not getting anything | 14:43 |
| alexbeck | it will break sooner or later. | 14:43 |

| alexbeck | is there a way to remove the labels of the running programs on the task bar. I want to move the taskbar to the side vertically and only have the icons? | 15:15 |
| TheSheep | alexbeck: yes, just right-click and select 'preferences' | 15:21 |
| alexbeck | I dont see it as an option | 15:21 |
| alexbeck | how is it called | 15:21 |
| alexbeck | TheSheep | 15:22 |
| TheSheep | alexbeck: it's the very first checkbox, under 'appearance' | 15:23 |
| TheSheep | alexbeck: 'show button labels' | 15:23 |
| alexbeck | TheSheep, look... http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-11112013-162325.php | 15:23 |
| TheSheep | that's preferences for the panel, not for the panel plugin | 15:24 |
| TheSheep | if you click on 'items' there and select 'winodow buttons', you can get to the preferences from there too | 15:24 |
| alexbeck | aha!! | 15:27 |
| alexbeck | nice | 15:27 |
| alexbeck | I didn't realize I could double click there | 15:27 |
| alexbeck | thanks a bunch TheSheep | 15:27 |
| TheSheep | normally you can get there also by clicking on the panel plugin itself, but some plugins have their own right-click menu, which makes it harder | 15:28 |
| alexbeck | what about the clock and date | 15:29 |
| alexbeck | again, I can't see the option | 15:29 |
| alexbeck | if there is one | 15:29 |
| alexbeck | for switching it to horizontal | 15:29 |
| TheSheep | no idea | 15:30 |
| alexbeck | TheSheep, if you could check my screen shot again, my volume control bundle is not working as well, the only way I control my sound is FN + Arrow up/down | 15:33 |
| alexbeck | do you know anything about this | 15:34 |
| alexbeck | ..:) | 15:34 |
| oal | Hi. I've just switched to Xubuntu from Ubuntu. I miss the "super" shortcut to open applications in the dash. What "launcher" do you recommend for Xfce? | 17:22 |
| xubuntu407 | anyone know how to select the cups driver for 7820N Brother printer? | 17:47 |
| xubuntu407 | http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/MFC-7820N < I tried these directions | 17:48 |
| xubuntu407 | But where do i select the driver? | 17:48 |
| GridCube | xubuntu407, open a new tab on any of your webbrowsers and go to localhost:631 | 17:50 |
| xubuntu407 | GridCube, I did do that and went into "Manage Printers". Where do I select the driver? | 17:51 |
| GridCube | go to administration, then add a printer | 17:52 |
| xubuntu407 | The printer is already added and activated. It has some BRscript driver. | 17:53 |
| GridCube | then go to manage it and change its drivers | 17:54 |
| xubuntu407 | But all I see is the BRscript and the Foomatic driver there. What is the cups driver called? I don't see it there. | 17:55 |
| GridCube | no idea | 17:55 |
| xubuntu407 | ok. I wonder what those commands did in the wiki...it says that it would install the driver, but its not there. | 17:56 |
| xubuntu407 | thanks though | 17:58 |

| * Poisoned_Dragon shrugs. I dunno what to tell you. | 22:56 | |
| Unit193 | You can compile the gtk3 wrapper. | 22:56 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | it's a gtk3 issue? | 22:57 |
