[01:54] <Akarin-desu> I'm having issues with install Xubuntu. The  computer keeps rebooting before it even gets out of the Q/A phase of the installation.
[02:11] <glenrock> i'd like to create a script to maximize my volume.    in debian I would use this command:   amixer set PCM 100%
[02:11] <glenrock> any idea what i would use in xubuntu 13.10?
[02:12] <glenrock> disregard, found something that works for me:   amixer set Master 100%
[02:13] <Unit193> glenrock: 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] <glenrock> thanks Unit193.  i'll test that now
[02:13] <Unit193> -e
[02:14] <glenrock> Unit193: yep, that does the trick.  Thanks!    All this to make sure my alarm clock wakes me up ;)
[02:17] <Unit193> Heh, 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%?
[02:18] <glenrock> exactly
[02:18] <glenrock> and then i set up a cron job to run the script every day in the early morning
[02:52] <tabeaux> I 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?
[04:46] <Bosi> Hello 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"
[04:47] <SonikkuAmerica> Head into the Settings Manager and pick "Screensaver" or "Brightness and Lock" (or something similar)
[04:48] <Bosi> on screen saver there is nothing checked
[04:49] <Bosi> I can't find Brightness and Lock (in my case it is in Portuguese, so I couldn't find a similar word for that)
[04:53] <SonikkuAmerica> "Brilho e Lock"?
[04:54] <SonikkuAmerica> Or even "Opções de Energia?"
[04:55] <Bosi> Well, in "Gerenciador de Energia" which would be something like "Power Management"
[04:56] <Bosi> both options of inactivity and power down the monitor are settled to "never"
[04:57] <Bosi> BUT, 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] <Bosi> I wonder if it is the same in this case.
[04:59] <SonikkuAmerica> It 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] <Bosi> No screen saver.
[05:00] <Bosi> Other 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.
[05:01] <Bosi> all these problems appeared when I upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10...
[05:02] <SonikkuAmerica> Hm. I just rang up a couple of guys in another channel, maybe they could help if they're anywhere near their machines..
[05:03] <Bosi> Yeah... 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] <Bosi> When I did the upgrade was when everything went downhill.
[05:04] <SonikkuAmerica> Are you sure you didn't touch anything during the upgrade...?
[05:04] <Bosi> anything.
[05:04] <SonikkuAmerica> Just making sure.
[05:05] <Bosi> haha it is ok... I mean, people warned me that the best thing is always to do was a fresh install.
[05:05] <SonikkuAmerica> Did you make sure the power settings were the same for all the power configurations? (AC Power, Battery)
[05:05] <Bosi> yup.
[05:06] <SonikkuAmerica> And you're completely updated?
[05:07] <Bosi> If every option that I checked on XCFE was working properly, it would be beautiful haha
[05:07] <Bosi> yes
[05:07] <SonikkuAmerica> You might try just a fresh install of 13.10 from a Live image (selecting "Reinstall" at the prompt)
[05:08] <dougbb> does 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?
[05:09] <SonikkuAmerica> Can't say... Never had a problem with that using Xubutu
[05:09] <SonikkuAmerica> *Xubuntu
[05:09] <Bosi> SonikkuAmerica, 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.
[05:10] <SonikkuAmerica> Yep.
[05:10] <dougbb> I've had a lot of wacky problems with 13.10, my 13.04 was great, on a clean install but same /home
[05:10] <Bosi> I might do that then! Thanks!
[05:12] <dougbb> anyone else experiencing that growing window problem?
[06:42] <xubuntu273> Just 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...
[06:52] <xubuntu273> OK then, guess I'll look somewhere else.
[06:53] <Jumpie> hey guys
[06:54] <Jumpie> been 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 network
[06:54] <Jumpie> unclaimed...device is not blacklisted
[06:54] <Jumpie> is 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 drive
[07:33] <liamf5r> I have problems updating 12.04lts desktop, it will not install or delete packages
[08:01] <xubuntu634> Hello, why is it that alt+space works to bring up my window operations menu on everything but xfce terminal?
[09:07] <xubuntu642> hi there, after installing 13.10 i installed updates now when i log in the screen is blank with no icons?
[09:10] <xubuntu642> hi there, after installing 13.10 i installed updates now when i log in the screen is blank with no icons?
[09:40] <kraut> hoi
[09:40] <kraut> i've got an issue with my windows in xfce on 13.10. some windows arent able to maximaze and f.e. "run" doesn't got any window at all: https://dreamland.netzdeponie.de/~kraut/temp/Bildschirmfoto%20-%2022.12.2013%20-%2010:36:39.png
[09:40] <kraut> could anybody give me please a hint what i could try to fix this?
[10:14] <xubuntu197> hello someone has had problems with their sound preferences on xubuntu?
[10:15] <xubuntu197> I cannot find my sound preferences anywhere?
[10:15] <xubuntu197> this is really weird
[10:18] <xubuntu197> is anyone there?
[10:18] <ObrienDave> nope
[10:19] <xubuntu197> ok, as your replying, it seems your there...
[10:22] <bekks> xubuntu197: Look at "/names"
[10:31] <xubuntu197> ok I will try this
[10:32] <xubuntu197> the terminal cannot find anything
[10:32] <xubuntu197> ???
[10:33] <bekks> Which command are you using?
[10:33] <xubuntu197> the one bekks proposed
[10:33] <xubuntu197> "/names"
[10:33] <xubuntu197> I mean you
[10:33] <bekks> Thats not a terminal command. Thats a command for your irc client to show you all names in this channel.
[10:33] <xubuntu197> ok
[10:33] <xubuntu197> what is a irc client?
[10:34] <xubuntu197> sorry
[10:34] <bekks> xubuntu197: The program you are using to write in here.
[10:34] <xubuntu197> ok
[10:36] <xubuntu197> well I tried to type it in but also nothing
[10:36] <bekks> aDoesnt matter actually.
[10:36] <bekks> The number of attendiees in this channel is irrelevant to your problem.
[10:37] <xubuntu197> your trying to say?
[10:38] <xubuntu197> what else can I try, I am not really a computer nerd, so I am a bit lost
[10:38] <bekks> Forget about "/names" at all. What is the actual issue you are facing using ubuntu?
[10:39] <xubuntu197> the thing is, that since yesterday my microphone stopped working during my skype session
[10:39] <xubuntu197> at first I thougt it was the mic
[10:39] <xubuntu197> but then when I wanted to check the sound preferences I couln't find them in my system
[10:39] <xubuntu197> which is kinda weird
[10:40] <xubuntu197> there is no such Icon
[10:44] <ObrienDave> run alsamixer from terminal. press f4
[10:44] <ObrienDave> what do you see for capture?
[10:45] <xubuntu197> Can you please explain this for a computer idiot
[10:45] <ObrienDave> or digital
[10:45] <xubuntu197> what should I out into terminal
[10:45] <ObrienDave> open terminal
[10:45] <ObrienDave> enter alsamixer
[10:45] <xubuntu197> ok
[10:45] <ObrienDave> press enter key
[10:45] <xubuntu197> done
[10:46] <ObrienDave> press f4
[10:46] <xubuntu197> done
[10:46] <ObrienDave> what do you see for capture and digital?
[10:46] <xubuntu197> capture seems normal
[10:46] <ObrienDave> what is the value?
[10:46] <xubuntu197> but digital is really low
[10:47] <xubuntu197> 95
[10:47] <xubuntu197> digital 24
[10:47] <ObrienDave> what is value of mic boost
[10:47] <xubuntu197> 100
[10:48] <ObrienDave> press f6
[10:48] <xubuntu197> done
[10:48] <xubuntu197> hda intel is 0
[10:49] <ObrienDave> does it list your sound/capture device? what is selected? (dot)
[10:49] <xubuntu197> I think standard
[10:49] <xubuntu197> there is a line marked at "standard"
[10:50] <xubuntu197> and a dot( or zero) at "hda intel"
[10:51] <ObrienDave> ok, when did mic stop working?
[10:51] <xubuntu197> yesterday, during the skype session
[10:51] <xubuntu197> and when I test it you can only hear weird sounds
[10:51] <ObrienDave> have you rebooted since then?
[10:51] <xubuntu197> yes
[10:52] <xubuntu197> I tried it again this morning
[10:52] <ObrienDave> dang, I don't remember how to restart the service
[10:52] <xubuntu197> the other integrated mic also doesn't seems to workd
[10:53] <xubuntu197> weird
[10:53] <ObrienDave> in terminal, type pulseaudio --start
[10:55] <xubuntu197> like with the line?
[10:56] <ObrienDave> should look something like......
[10:56] <ObrienDave> N: [pulseaudio] main.c: User-configured server at {9346ae09060023af215799c55298bfbf}unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native, which appears to be local. Probing deeper.
[10:56] <xubuntu197> when i put pulseaudio the reply is: deamon already runnig
[10:57] <xubuntu197> pulseaudio start: too may arguments
[10:57] <ObrienDave> you say mic boost at 100?
[10:57] <xubuntu197> yes
[10:58] <ObrienDave> run alsamixer again
[10:58] <xubuntu197> ok
[10:58] <ObrienDave> f4
[10:58] <xubuntu197> weird now its 0
[10:58] <ObrienDave> ok, check mic now please
[10:58] <xubuntu197> probably because I disonnected the mic
[10:58] <xubuntu197> ;-(
[10:58] <xubuntu197> sorry
[10:59] <xubuntu197> again
[10:59] <xubuntu197> now 100
[10:59] <ObrienDave> ok, connect mic. if boost at 100 use left/right cursor keys to highlight boost. use up/down keys to set to 0
[11:00] <xubuntu197> mic boost is set to 0
[11:00] <ObrienDave> good. please check mic using something other than skype
[11:00] <xubuntu197> ok
[11:01] <xubuntu197> I try audacity
[11:01] <ObrienDave> good, my favorite
[11:02] <xubuntu197> doesn't seem to work
[11:02] <xubuntu197> no sound recorded
[11:03] <ObrienDave> dang, this is external mic?
[11:03] <xubuntu197> yes
[11:03] <ObrienDave> does it work elsewhere?
[11:03] <xubuntu197> but before (when I disconnected th external mic)
[11:03] <xubuntu197> I tried the internal and with skype it worked
[11:03] <xubuntu197> I can try with audacity
[11:04] <ObrienDave> try internal with audacity
[11:04] <xubuntu197> seems to work
[11:04] <xubuntu197> has to be the headset
[11:05] <xubuntu197> thank you for your help!
[11:05] <ObrienDave> ok. good luck with that
[11:05] <xubuntu197> have a great holiday!
[11:05] <ObrienDave> you 2
[11:05] <xubuntu197> :-)
[11:12] <pdizzle_> Installing thunarx-python-0.3.0 on Xubuntu 13.10 - how do I know if thunar was built into a non-standard prefix?
[11:14] <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)
[11:15] <bekks> pdizzle_: Just look where the contents of the thunarx-python-0.3.0 package are installed.
[11:17] <pdizzle_> thunarx-python-0.3.0 isn't installed yet. It's distributed as an archive then you have to build it
[11:18] <ObrienDave> you mean THIS .deb file? http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/webupd8/precise/main/base/thunarx-python
[11:19] <pdizzle_> Probably. I ended up at http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/bindings/thunarx-python
[11:21] <pdizzle_> If it's in the precise main repository shouldn't synaptic find it?
[11:22] <bekks> pdizzle_: apt-cache search thunarx
[11:22] <bekks> pdizzle_: And if it isnt in the standard repos, it can be found in a PPA like the one mentioned above.
[11:22] <ObrienDave> that came from the webupd8 ppa
[11:23] <pdizzle_> OK great. Thank you

[13:16] <bekks> What?

[13:22] <bekks> fluffybraunmilk: Did you read what I told you? sudo fdisk -l
[13:26] <fluffybraunmilk> bekks,  That doesn't work as I am using the KDE pendrive and Xubuntu 13.10 , to create a ' sdd ' image of Xubuntu 13.10 to restore the files/packages to the original Xubuntu application .

[16:14] <uflaig> hello everyone, I installed and used awesome window manager and went back to xfce, now when I boot up my laptop 3, 4 xterminal windows are autostarting all the time, where do I remove those autostart settings?
[16:15] <uflaig> already checked the session and startup under settings, no entries
[16:17] <elfy> look in .config/autostart - could be there
[16:30] <junKa> how can i learn the default installed packages of lets say lubuntu from web?
[16:34] <SonikkuAmerica> You could investigate by running [ sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop ], reading what goes in, and selecting NO when it asks you to continue.
[16:35] <junKa> good thinking
[16:36] <SonikkuAmerica> Also, if LXDE is all you want, you could just install the lxde package.
[16:37] <junKa> i wanna use gnome3 but i got a low resolution
[16:38] <junKa> and windows are bigger than my screen
[16:38] <SonikkuAmerica> What like 640?
[16:38] <junKa> y
[16:38] <junKa> 600
[16:38] <junKa> actually
[16:38] <junKa> 1024x600
[16:38] <SonikkuAmerica> Well, Xubuntu uses XFCE, is that what you're using now?
[16:39] <bekks> junKa: Thats the resolution of your display, isnt it - you have a netbook?
[16:39] <SonikkuAmerica> Oh OK
[16:39] <junKa> on xubuntu its fine i can move across the boarder
[16:39] <junKa> but gnome 3 top panel is solid for some reason
[16:39] <junKa> bekks: yes indeed
[16:39] <SonikkuAmerica> What graphics do you have?
[16:40] <junKa> intel gma4500mhd
[16:40] <bekks> junKa: gnome3 isnt optimized for thos low resolutions I guess.
[16:40] <junKa> a con for sure
[16:40] <SonikkuAmerica> Good luck with that... Mobile Intel graphics are ancient... LXDE would be good anyway.
[16:41] <junKa> how can i search a package here with the bot
[16:42] <junKa> !package libvdpau-va-gl
[16:42] <SonikkuAmerica> Use !info ... Also please !msgthebot
[16:52] <Slesa1> !msgthebot

[23:33] <frugalthursday> Hi guys .. quick question ...
[23:34] <frugalthursday> I have mounted sda5 which Xubuntu , but how do I change to that partition using the terminal ?
[23:34] <frugalthursday> **which is Xubuntu ...
[23:34] <koegs> frugalthursday: check mountpoint with "mount", cd to directory
[23:35] <frugalthursday> so the command is >$mount cd/sda5 ?
[23:36] <koegs> no, check the directory just with "mount", then "cd /where/is/my/mountpoint"
[23:36] <frugalthursday> ok wilko ..
