[00:00] shit. I've uninstalld something from ubuntu software center -> and my desktop disappeared. I've installed xfdesktop4 and got desktop back. But now ther is no sound -> what package to install to get soun and sound indicator back? [00:01] !language > ddsss [00:01] ddsss, please see my private message [00:01] The flip, tried to drag & drop Antichamber.sh installer for a game into another folder, it took me to a wrong folder & I couldn't push esc to cancel putting it in there, I then deleted the file thinking it would of copied it there but no it moved it, now I can't find the file in the rubbish bin. Can I get it back somehow? [00:01] @ubuttu -> I hate you [00:01] ddsss: i would install pavucontrol, and just run that and see whats going on [00:02] ddsss: please use the #xubuntu-offtopic channel for chat [00:02] AussieDownUnder: just search for the file [00:02] holstein, kewl. thanks. let me try that. [00:07] holstein, it's not in its original location, it's obviously not in the folder I deleted it from & it ain't in the waste bin [00:08] AussieDownUnder: sure.. just search the entire drive for it.. no one here is going to know where you happened to have accidentally lost it [00:08] AussieDownUnder: otherwise, just re-obtain, and excercise caution [00:12] holstein, just reinstall xubunu-desktop fixed all my problems. all good:) [00:13] ddsss: cheers [00:13] man. so glad I got an ssd - frigging xubuntu boots in 5 seconds. [00:14] sounds cool [00:14] You probably don't even see the plymouth splash screens. [00:14] plymouth - what's plymouth.lol [00:15] Poisoned_Dragon, but no - very very fast. [00:15] XD [00:25] Hey guys, anyone remember me from yesterday? Was doing my first install and joined #xubuntu from the handy IRC client in the installer. Anyway I tried to get my graphics cards setup for a while but called it a night and decided to come back later to it. I have a GTX 560 Ti and a GT610.. The 560Ti powers 2 1080p monitors and the 610 powers a single 1080p screen. I'm trying to get the nvidia drivers working but kept running into [00:25] problems on subsequent boots and have to fix it back to working on the open source driver again.... [00:26] I thought about foregoing the settings panel and getting the driver off the nvidia site and giving that a go. [00:27] Does anyone have experience with setting up a multi screen setup on more than 1 card ? [00:27] sure [00:27] but, unless you talk to someone with your hardware setup, you can have a much different experience [00:28] do you think i'm better off pulling the 610 and going down to 2 screens? [00:28] i just use arandr to setup dual head [00:28] for the time being [00:28] ^ [00:28] Algalon: what operating system are you coming from? [00:29] * Algalon prepares for the wave of hate [00:29] 8.1 [00:29] Algalon: think about how long you used windows before doing any multi screens. and consider just taking it easy for a bit [00:29] Algalon: im talking about, what you are used to.. set me down in front of win8 and i sure i might have a hard time setting up multiple monitors.. [00:30] true... i've run multiscreen at work & home since ~2001-2002.. 3 since '06 heh [00:30] Algalon: i would just troubleshoot each device and make sure the linux support is there... and use arandr to configure what need.. [00:30] kk [00:31] Algalon: sure.. but, you likely didnt start on 2+ screens.. you likely used one for years [00:31] i think i am going to start by pu lling the 610 and seeing if i can get the proprietary running [00:31] To be honest, I don't think I had much issues using multi-monitor in windows. [00:31] But, I don't do multi-monitor, anymore. I just don't need it. [00:31] yeah, but 12 years old technology .... [00:31] i mean i have 3 screens working [00:31] but on the slow driver [00:31] problem is switching to the proprietary [00:31] sure.. and the hardware doesnt promise you linux support [00:32] indeed [00:32] Algalon: you may not get "better" results from the proprietary one [00:32] unless the open source one has caught up recently for steam the proprietary one is faster than windows in some source benchmarks [00:33] opengl instead of directx but still great performance [00:33] Algalon: im just being realistic.. it depends on your specific hardare [00:33] hardware* [00:34] and i havent run nvidia since the debut of the FX line [03:10] pulled the 610 and did a clean install, switch to the binary driver and now it's running great. down to 2 monitors.. may look for a 3 digital output video card.. [03:25] Hello World! [04:49] I'm trying to get xfce4-terminal showing 256 colors, but there's no terminfo entry for xterm-256color. Where can I go to get one? [04:53] jxf, see xfce.org there may an entry/support channel listing there [04:53] !info xfce [04:53] Package xfce does not exist in saucy [04:53] !info xfce4 [04:53] xfce4 (source: xfce4): Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment.

[05:14] how can i enter in GUI?? [05:44] recently made switch from windows to xubuntu on an old laptop (nonPAE), installed 12.04, can I now update to latest on my nonPAE laptop or will that still not work for me? [05:50] Sport, it does not seem so ref: http://askubuntu.com/questions/117744/how-can-i-install-on-a-non-pae-cpu-error-kernel-requires-features-not-present [05:53] Thanks kindebuhds - I had read conflicting articles on the possibility of installing 12.04 (nonPAE) and then once installed updating to 13.10. It' an old Pentium M laptop. [05:58] i see what you mean also found http://zo0ok.com/techfindings/archives/1098 say he went from 13.04 with fakepae and upgrade successfuly [06:05] Thanks for that article, reading it now. One of the few I missed apparently. Cheers.

I'm trying to install xubuntu in my new laptop follwing the instructions in the UEFI page of helpUbuntu. When I try to "try xubuntu without installing" (step 3). It stops booting with the last message shown being: starting configure virtual network devices. [14:01] Anyone can help me out? [14:13] TonyTate, let me see [14:15] mmm internet doesnt show me any reason why it should fail [14:15] I think I have to boot with nomodeset and noapic [14:15] but at this level the issue is hardly on the xubuntu's part of the forest, you probably will get better answers asking on #ubuntu [14:15] Yeah, thanks. [14:16] you can still wait here if you want, im sure eventually someone will be able to help you TonyTate [14:17] Yeah, I'm googling hard to see if I can work it out. [14:56] Is it possible to use Desktop Cube effects on Xubuntu ?1 [15:00] Dead peoples ! -_- [15:00] Ooo !la la la o...oo oo o o la la ! Im in the zombie land ! [15:00] @_@ [15:01] HELLO !? Ding Dong ! nybody home ??! [15:01] !patience [15:01] Where are the friggin peoples ?!!

[15:01] Capprentice, compiz is not actually fully supported anymore [15:02] if you want to use compiz you will have to find your own way to use it [15:02] Thats why Im looking for some one to ask about KWIN ! Is it possible to use KWIN in XFCE ? [15:02] I know I should have chosen KDE :\ [15:02] Capprentice, ! ask the xfce channel! or look at www.xfce.org! [15:03] Whoa ! You are here too ! cfhowlett [15:03] Capprentice, we are not here to serve you, if you change your attitude and ask properly we might know how to help you [15:03] @_@ [15:03] else i don't see why anyone would bother [15:03] ^^^^ agreed. [15:03] I was just kidding...no hard feelings ... [15:03] :) [15:04] Capprentice, wasn't funny earlier today, still not funny now. [15:04] Getting bored...so thought do some stupid things...I respect you all. [15:04] Capprentice, then ask a proper question, explain what you want todo, what you did, what you expect to happen, and why you think is not happening [15:06] Okay I have tried to use Compiz Destop Cube thing reading this guide from here - [15:06] http://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Compiz_and_Emerald [15:06] But that resulted in system crash. [15:07] I always kicked out of the GUI to tty konsole [15:08] Is there a need for x64 bit system or more than 2GB ram to run Compiz ? [15:09] Capprentice, more graphics and eye candy means more demand on ram - and 2 gigs is pretty minimal already. [15:09] I could not find the link now, but I have watched some videos on this as well. Can any one point me to a guide which can exlpain every step on how to do! what to do..and [15:09] my xubuntu is using 900 Mb on idle [15:09] its too much but free ram is wasted ram [15:10] Mine uses 800 MB ! [15:10] now 1.35 [15:10] just becouse im writing [15:10] haha [15:10] I have 2 GB on my Laptop where I run Xubuntu and some others and On Dektop I have 4 GB (Windows , Ubuntu and Fedora :P) [15:10] I gues it has something to do with video driver.. it uses ram [15:11] I have 8 on my desktop [15:11] running like a rocket [15:11] No Idea. though I like to keep my Lubuntu clean, but effects like Desktop Cude, Wooby Windows would be nice to have [15:11] btw.
