How do I fix this? [02:39] 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.

[04:04] i just want to be able to use my computer again >_< [04:06] Guest12528, ask in #ubuntu - I'd guess there's a way to override the resolution, but I don't know how [04:08] it' starting to look like i should just re-install [04:09] Guest12528, it [04:09] it's a setting; probably an xf** setting. wait one [04:11] Guest12528, it'll be the display settings stored by xfconf. nukinng that file will invoke reconfiguration. have you a live cd/usb? [04:12] yeah [04:12] Guest12528, don't quote me on this but ... [04:13] booting the live session and going to your settings folder, killing xfconf means the default will then be able to boot. [04:16] bah. gotta lookup how to fix the ACL not wanting to mount stuff blah blah error from 12.10 [04:18] Guest12528, ok then. best of luck [04:21] hi all. any solution for "resolving host" issue at Version 30.0.1599.114 Ubuntu 12.04 (30.0.1599.114-0ubuntu0.12.04.3)? [04:24] I need more info. not sure exactly what your asking [04:26] booting the live USB in persistant mode somehow broke grub? im just gonna re-install thanks for the help cfhowlett [04:26] Guest12528, good luck. [04:28] http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/_CZhoDepThk [05:18] 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... [05:22] 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. [05:31] 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 [05:34] well that did nothing the xorg.conf files are identical >.< [05:40] Bah. [06:38] 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) [06:39] one oddity is that synapse now has a big black background when I use it which is not a train smash but odd :/ === Punna is now known as Pwnna [07:19] any idea what could be wrong if you loose transparency in Xubuntu? [07:22] Compositor malfunction [07:23] hmm... odd [07:24] Is composting turned off? [07:24] nope, first thing I checked... well it is enabled, if it is actually on or working I don't know [07:25] One way to know is in Panel Preferences. [07:26] In the Appearance tab, if you see sliders to change the Opacity, or the Alpha Channel, it's on for sure. [07:26] Then, adjust to see if the sliders have an effect. [07:27] Ah I can't change it :'( [07:28] Hmm... I wish I knew why. Never saw the composter tank like that. [07:28] so it would seem compositing is not working since I stuffed around with this dual monitor setup :/ [07:29] Oh. :( That's really over my head. I've never done multiple monitors in linux. [07:31] no worries Poisoned_Dragon , thanks for the assistance anyhow... [07:45] 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... [09:05] * 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 >.< [11:20] hello [11:59] hello xubunters dom the world [11:59] from === Doctor is now known as Guest94172 [12:28] 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? [12:29] Guest94172: What do you mean "better" than Ubuntu? What doesn't work on Ubuntu? [12:32] On ubuntu firefox stops/crashes every time I play youtube or open another tab. [12:33] Everything stops and crashes :D [12:33] Trying go to another folder in file manager and window became gray [12:34] Guest94172: Well Xubuntu is more lightweight than Ubuntu and has generally lower memory requirements [12:34] Only Minecraft works fine [12:34] But a lot will depend on how fast your actual flash drive is, too [12:35] 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 [13:16] 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 [13:23] tl;dr - what is the actual question :) [13:30] koegs the question is do I get this to work bro.... [13:32] i think, i have to agree with Web-E :( [13:33] let's keep this in ONE channel, shall we? less confusion all around [13:34] koegs I don't really see how is my reporting not specific enough [13:34] my system breaks down, that's all I know [13:34] the message popping up [13:35] said nothing more than internal system error [13:35] or something of that sort [13:35] ... [13:35] I've done at least 10 different installs [13:35] and each time [13:35] 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] everything just breaks down [13:36] basic rule [13:36] alexbeck, tells us ZERO. psychic hotline tech support is on vacation. [13:37] ok. any idea how do I manage to log in [13:37] cause right now I am on W7 [13:37] if I was able to log in again [13:37] i COULD try being more specific [13:38] 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] !details [13:38] 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] 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] it is not my fault the error message was generic [13:39] please help logging back in, let's start from there [13:39] can you boot a live cd? [13:39] usb? [13:40] yes [13:41] alexbeck, ok, boot that. run check disk integrity. if it checks out, reinstall. [13:41] my hdd is basically brand new, I've changed it a month ago? [13:42] 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] so this has been happening on different hard drives as well [13:42] alexbeck, so it's not a HDD issue then [13:43] wait [13:43] on multiple computers? [13:43] no no, just one the acer aspire, I just changed my hard drive recently and I am still having the same issues [13:45] 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. [13:46] I dropped it while downloading at full speed that's why it broke down [13:46] how should I reinstall [13:46] overwrite it [13:46] you dropped what? [13:46] or format it first [13:46] I dropped the laptop [13:47] you forgot to mention that? [13:48] yeah I guess ;p I didn't know it could be relevant. This has been happenning even before I dropped it [13:48] format the hdd, reinstall windows, reinstall ubuntu. I'm out. good luck. [13:49] alright, tnx.. [14:14] 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?! [14:15] nlsthzn, multiple stream capture? sounds like a JACK task, not ffmpeg. I could be wrong. ask in #ubuntustudio [14:16] 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 === synaptix is now known as thecowmoos === thecowmoos is now known as synaptix [14:35] cfhowlett [14:35] :P [14:35] I reinstalled [14:36] check my bootinfoscript output if you want to http://pastebin.com/2sQHvDYp [14:37] alexbeck, so far the great chinese firewall doesn't want me to see that paste. [14:40] well I dont know what you mean man, but I sure would appreciate any help [14:41] alexbeck: so what info should we get from that output? [14:41] alexbeck, I can't see the post. I'm in china. [14:41] !ch [14:41] The Swiss !LoCo team can be found in #ubuntu-ch (please speak English there) - Deutschsprachiger Ubuntu Support in #ubuntu-de - Aide Ubuntu en français dans #ubuntu-fr - Supporto Ubuntu in Italiano in #ubuntu-it [14:42] no chinese? [14:42] Junka, ... read more post less. I said I'm in CHINA. and for the record, I speak perfect English. But thanks. [14:42] cfhowlett: it shows the grub-config and fstab, nothing else [14:42] cfhowlett, :) [14:43] alexbeck, bring your error report to #ubuntu for more eyes on the issue. [14:43] koegs, well somebody asked me for that so I guessed it might be relevant [14:43] cfhowlett, right now I am not getting anything [14:43] it will break sooner or later. [14:48] 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] 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? [15:21] alexbeck: yes, just right-click and select 'preferences' [15:21] I dont see it as an option [15:21] how is it called [15:22] TheSheep [15:23] alexbeck: it's the very first checkbox, under 'appearance' [15:23] alexbeck: 'show button labels' [15:23] TheSheep, look... http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-11112013-162325.php [15:24] that's preferences for the panel, not for the panel plugin [15:24] if you click on 'items' there and select 'winodow buttons', you can get to the preferences from there too [15:27] aha!! [15:27] nice [15:27] I didn't realize I could double click there [15:27] thanks a bunch TheSheep [15:28] 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 [15:29] what about the clock and date [15:29] again, I can't see the option [15:29] if there is one [15:29] for switching it to horizontal [15:30] no idea [15:33] 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 [15:34] do you know anything about this [15:34] ..:) [17:22] 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? [17:47] anyone know how to select the cups driver for 7820N Brother printer? [17:48] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/MFC-7820N < I tried these directions [17:48] But where do i select the driver? [17:50] xubuntu407, open a new tab on any of your webbrowsers and go to localhost:631 [17:51] GridCube, I did do that and went into "Manage Printers". Where do I select the driver? [17:52] go to administration, then add a printer [17:53] The printer is already added and activated. It has some BRscript driver. [17:54] then go to manage it and change its drivers [17:55] 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] no idea [17:56] ok. I wonder what those commands did in the wiki...it says that it would install the driver, but its not there. [17:58] thanks though [19:41] clear [19:41] Oops, my bad [19:42] lol [19:42] /clear fail [20:36] Hello === darek is now known as Guest70577 [20:37] !hi | xubuntu321 [20:37] xubuntu321: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu!

[20:38] hello, tout a l'heure sous le compte invité j'avais demandé de l'aide et quelqu'un m'a répondu comme quoi mon disfonctionnement provenait de Xauthority. suite à cela j'ai fait ce qu'il m'a dit et ça re-fonctionne correctement sous mon user. je tenais à vous remercier [20:38] !fr [20:38] Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[22:53] How do I fix the volume icon bug in 13.10? I suppose this question is often asked, sorry :D [22:54] all da time. :) [22:54] amari, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1208204 [22:54] Ubuntu bug 1208204 in indicator-sound (Ubuntu) "indicator-sound no longer functions with xfce4-indicator-plugin" [High,Triaged] [22:55] Read comment #5, amari. [22:55] Then logout and log back in. [22:55] (or xfce4-panel -r in the run dialog) [22:56] Or that too [22:56] pick your poison [22:56] Poisoned_Dragon: thanks. But that workaround is from August, there is no official update package for that? [22:56] I'm quite surprised :) [22:56] * Poisoned_Dragon shrugs. I dunno what to tell you. [22:56] You can compile the gtk3 wrapper. [22:57] it's a gtk3 issue? [23:01] Poisoned_Dragon: Well, the newer indicators are gtk3, the panel and xfce panel indicator plugin are gtk2. [23:02] ah, gotcha [23:03] You have to compile it? Tis not a pre-packaged download? :( [23:05] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Saucy/Gtk3Indicators Workin' on that bit. [23:10] So, it'll be a thing in 14.04? [23:11] Would be nice for a ppa or backport, but yes it should be in Trusty for sure. [23:12] Meh, I can wait. [23:13] The wok around is simple enough and does the job.
