=== GTB3NW is now known as GTB3NW_AWAY
Akarin-desuI'm having issues with install Xubuntu. The  computer keeps rebooting before it even gets out of the Q/A phase of the installation.01:54
glenrocki'd like to create a script to maximize my volume.    in debian I would use this command:   amixer set PCM 100%02:11
glenrockany idea what i would use in xubuntu 13.10?02:11
glenrockdisregard, found something that works for me:   amixer set Master 100%02:12
Unit193glenrock: Could set both, just to make sure.  I know muteing master will also mute PCM, and unmuting will not unmute PCM so I have to unmute both.02:13
glenrockthanks Unit193.  i'll test that now02:13
Unit193-e02:13
glenrockUnit193: yep, that does the trick.  Thanks!    All this to make sure my alarm clock wakes me up ;)02:14
Unit193Heh, that's important.  I've got mine to mute at night and unmute in the morning so any sounds that happen will not awake anyone.  I'd guess that you have it set to unmute and set to 100%?02:17
glenrockexactly02:18
glenrockand then i set up a cron job to run the script every day in the early morning02:18
tabeauxI have installed 13.04 and added a couple launchers to the desktop but they keep disappearing. Any idea how to make the launchers stay put?02:52
BosiHello everyone, What should I do to prevent my monitor to automatically black out after inactivity? It is kind of annoying when I'm watching a movie and suddently the screen blacks out for "inactivity"04:46
SonikkuAmericaHead into the Settings Manager and pick "Screensaver" or "Brightness and Lock" (or something similar)04:47
Bosion screen saver there is nothing checked04:48
BosiI can't find Brightness and Lock (in my case it is in Portuguese, so I couldn't find a similar word for that)04:49
SonikkuAmerica"Brilho e Lock"?04:53
SonikkuAmericaOr even "Opções de Energia?"04:54
BosiWell, in "Gerenciador de Energia" which would be something like "Power Management"04:55
Bosiboth options of inactivity and power down the monitor are settled to "never"04:56
BosiBUT, I noticed my XFCE has a lot of bugs. Session and Startup functions for example doesn't respond even with a lot of workarounds...04:57
BosiI wonder if it is the same in this case.04:57
SonikkuAmericaIt could be... But you made sure that in "Screensaver" that it was set to "No Screen Saver" instead of "Only 1" or "Random" or "Blank Screen Only"?04:59
BosiNo screen saver.04:59
BosiOther options that I'v had trouble it are, even though it is marked to when I close the laptop to Hibernate (and yes, I activated it) it doesn't respond to this action.05:00
Bosiall these problems appeared when I upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10...05:01
SonikkuAmericaHm. I just rang up a couple of guys in another channel, maybe they could help if they're anywhere near their machines..05:02
BosiYeah... I'm kind of giving up on 13.10.... guess I'll just wait a few more months and do a fresh install for 14.04 instead of upgrading it from 13.10-14.04.05:03
BosiWhen I did the upgrade was when everything went downhill.05:03
SonikkuAmericaAre you sure you didn't touch anything during the upgrade...?05:04
Bosianything.05:04
SonikkuAmericaJust making sure.05:04
Bosihaha it is ok... I mean, people warned me that the best thing is always to do was a fresh install.05:05
SonikkuAmericaDid you make sure the power settings were the same for all the power configurations? (AC Power, Battery)05:05
Bosiyup.05:05
SonikkuAmericaAnd you're completely updated?05:06
BosiIf every option that I checked on XCFE was working properly, it would be beautiful haha05:07
Bosiyes05:07
SonikkuAmericaYou might try just a fresh install of 13.10 from a Live image (selecting "Reinstall" at the prompt)05:07
dougbbdoes anyone know off hand if the 13.10 bug where gtk windows grow every time you re-open them is fixed in the latest update?05:08
SonikkuAmericaCan't say... Never had a problem with that using Xubutu05:09
SonikkuAmerica*Xubuntu05:09
BosiSonikkuAmerica, will I have to do a backup and lose all my configurations? If that's the case I might just wait a few months until 14.04.05:09
SonikkuAmericaYep.05:10
dougbbI've had a lot of wacky problems with 13.10, my 13.04 was great, on a clean install but same /home05:10
BosiI might do that then! Thanks!05:10
dougbbanyone else experiencing that growing window problem?05:12
xubuntu273Just upgraded to 13.10 and would like to contribute to the development bug reporting. Don't know how to edit the wiki page with my config info...06:42
xubuntu273OK then, guess I'll look somewhere else.06:52
Jumpiehey guys06:53
Jumpiebeen having a bear of a time getting ubuntu 13.10 to handle my ati drivers correctly, so i reinstalled xubuntu 12.10, supposedly more stable, but whats wierd is, both times with ubuntu 13 my lan drivers were detected immediatley upon install, asrock motherboard with standard atheros chipset...with xubuntu 12.10 it says no network connection, lspci shows the device and lshw shows network06:54
Jumpieunclaimed...device is not blacklisted06:54
Jumpieis there any possible way to try to kick start this thing or assign a geneeric driver without the hassle of trying to find a driver and put it on a usb drive06:54

pdizzle_Installing thunarx-python-0.3.0 on Xubuntu 13.10 - how do I know if thunar was built into a non-standard prefix?11:12
pdizzle_./configure complains thunarx-1 is not found but I have the dependencies installed. It suggests adjusting PKG_CONFIG_PATH env var (which isn't set)11:14
bekkspdizzle_: Just look where the contents of the thunarx-python-0.3.0 package are installed.11:15
pdizzle_thunarx-python-0.3.0 isn't installed yet. It's distributed as an archive then you have to build it11:17
ObrienDaveyou mean THIS .deb file? http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/webupd8/precise/main/base/thunarx-python11:18
pdizzle_Probably. I ended up at http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/bindings/thunarx-python11:19
pdizzle_If it's in the precise main repository shouldn't synaptic find it?11:21
bekkspdizzle_: apt-cache search thunarx11:22
bekkspdizzle_: And if it isnt in the standard repos, it can be found in a PPA like the one mentioned above.11:22
ObrienDavethat came from the webupd8 ppa11:22
pdizzle_OK great. Thank you11:23

junKahow can i learn the default installed packages of lets say lubuntu from web?16:30
SonikkuAmericaYou could investigate by running [ sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop ], reading what goes in, and selecting NO when it asks you to continue.16:34
junKagood thinking16:35
SonikkuAmericaAlso, if LXDE is all you want, you could just install the lxde package.16:36
junKai wanna use gnome3 but i got a low resolution16:37
junKaand windows are bigger than my screen16:38

junKa60016:38
junKaactually16:38
junKa1024x60016:38
SonikkuAmericaWell, Xubuntu uses XFCE, is that what you're using now?16:38
bekksjunKa: Thats the resolution of your display, isnt it - you have a netbook?16:39
SonikkuAmericaOh OK16:39
junKaon xubuntu its fine i can move across the boarder16:39
junKabut gnome 3 top panel is solid for some reason16:39
junKabekks: yes indeed16:39
SonikkuAmericaWhat graphics do you have?16:39
junKaintel gma4500mhd16:40
bekksjunKa: gnome3 isnt optimized for thos low resolutions I guess.16:40
junKaa con for sure16:40
