kingplusplusplease how do i fix the audio of my Xubuntu, i wasn't able to edit the volume so i typed alsamixer and increased all options is there a way to make it better because now i am get a tone coming up if the volume is 50% high00:59
fibz_internal sound cards absorb a lot of RFI/EMI, also check your cabling, loosing connections or old/bad cables will cause this as well. also clean up your cabling, interferences jumps between cables. use terminators to help absolrb some of the noise. also if you have a pre-amp control in your alsamixer, turn that down, pre-amp shouldnt be set too high01:34

fibz_broke my tab key binding. Tab works for Alt+Tab switching, but all other functions provided by tab (cycling through cells and input boxes, autocomplete, indenting text and so on) any idea how to fix this?03:07
fibz_problem started after i changed the keyboard shortcut for window resize (changed to alt+1)03:07
holsteinfibz_: you can always blow out your user config and get "default"03:09
fibz_where is it located?03:09
holsteinfibz_: it depends on what you want to remove.. or reset03:10
holsteinfibz_: somewhere in your /home should be all you are looking for03:10
fibz_i dont know what i broke. i am in ./config and not sure where to go from here03:10
holsteinfibz_: then, move the entire thing03:11
holsteinfibz_: test.. then, put back what you want/need03:11
fibz_k03:11
fibz_deleted /home/user/.config/xfce4/ and that fixed it03:27
fibz_thanks holstein03:27
holsteinfibz_: cheers!03:27
Psil0CybinAnyone know how I can diagnose a xfce4-power-manager issue? I cannot get the dim setting to work on my laptop Lenovo G70005:31
NoskcajPsil0Cybin, while not actually diagnosing it, ubuntu-bug xfce4-power-manager would help track down this issue05:35
Psil0CybinNoskcaj, I am kinda new to the process of filing bugs how would I go about doing this?05:39
Psil0Cybinnvm Noskcaj I am doing that now05:40
Noskcajalso, what version of xubuntu do you have?05:43
NoskcajPsil0Cybin, I think it's a bug i fixed in xubuntu 14.0405:45
Psil0CybinNoskcaj, I am using Xubuntu 12.04 LTS.http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2208549 is my thread on the forums05:46
NoskcajIt's bug 1067749 that you have i think05:48
ubottubug 1067749 in xfce4-power-manager (Debian) "Screen refuses to dim on battery" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/106774905:48
NoskcajPsil0Cybin, If you're able to, upgrade to 14.04 (we just released beta 1). If not, i can try and make the patch work in precise if you really need it.05:56
Psil0CybinI do not "really" need it, but I would love to learn how to fix this issue and perhaps patch it without adding a PPA? Or doing it manually?06:00
Psil0CybinIs this a difficult task? I am fairly new, but hate adding PPA's as they cause problems later on06:00
Noskcajwell patching it is doing it manually06:00
Noskcajbut you could make the .deb yourself fairly easily.06:01
tsaavikanyone having font issues since the last xubuntu chrome/nvidia/gtk upgrade?06:02
Noskcajtsaavik, That's a lot of different options. Maybe try looking at bug reports for the various packages you mentioned?06:04
tsaavikYeah, been stalking around, no luck so far06:09
tsaavikI pushed the upgrade button and rebooted and WHAM, helvicta is BOLD and almost unreadable :(06:09
tsaavikeven tried hacking up a custom.css to remap helvetica in chrome, but no dice06:10
tsaavikMaybe I can hold out another month for 14.04 :\06:10
Noskcajtsaavik, It's fairly safe to upgrade to 14.04 now06:11
tsaavikAh cool, i'll keep that as an option :D06:16
AussieUpOverTrying to install drivers for my Brother HL-3150CDN on xubuntu 14.04, it seems to list a wide range of Brother printer drivers in xubuntu but misses out the one I need (Which is just typical for me). On the Brother Linux Drivers page now & it seems the drivers from there won't install. Got any tips?08:13

CrypticByteQuestion guys when I run wow64 bit the mouse cursor looks fine but game crashes before it opens, if I run wow 32 bit game works perfectly but the mouse is gray.  What could be causing this?08:21
AussieUpOverNot running it in windows that's what. I can't get it going either.08:23
CrypticByteWorks perfectly using Ubuntu with Unity, OpenSUSE, just cant seem to get it running right with any buntu distro that doesn't use Unity08:24

xubuntu631Hi there. I am really impressed of the Beta 14.04 Xubuntu, and I am wondering, if I install the Beta 1, will this be updated all the way to final? Or should I make a new install after final is released?08:44

xubuntu631elfy: ....it will be.... updated until final? :-)08:48

xubuntu329Greetings all. In need of some urgent help. After I login, I get no response. Luckily, synapse still functions so I was able to pull up the browser. Otherwise, I have either a grey screen or a nlank wallpaper. Non of the basic desktop loads, not even the toolbar up top.11:00
xubuntu329blank*11:00
xubuntu329I was sticking to 13.04 for this concern. But decided to uprgrade since its always bugging me about it, and, many 13.04 packages are no longer updated, etc.11:03
xubuntu392Slve a TUTTI11:10
xubuntu392qualcuno parla italiano11:11
fibz__delete you /home/user/.config11:11
v1adimiro.011:12
xubuntu392Italian11:12
xubuntu392?11:12
xubuntu329I'll try it...11:13
v1adimirapt-get install -f maybe, to begin with11:14
v1adimirhttp://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies11:15
xubuntu329hmm...nope...seems to have no effect11:16
xubuntu329 Was literally functioning fine 10 minutes ago11:17
xubuntu329Now, I'm completely "greyed out". If I minimize a window, its gone. considering trying fibz___ suggestion11:18
v1adimirif a new user might help, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto11:20
v1adimirbut, this is doubtful..:)11:20
xubuntu329This is a new problem, that is for certain. First time for everything as they say.11:21
v1adimiryeah xD11:23
xubuntu329Can't even access folders...this is nuts11:24
v1adimirxubuntu329: but, did you sudo apt-get autoclean ; sudo apt-get autoremove ; sudo apt-get clean b4 trying to apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade11:24
v1adimir.. and check if old sources are disabled.11:24
v1adimirmaybe it's just something simple :-f11:25
xubuntu329I din't run any terminal commands after install. No clue as to what this issue is. I've seen the no wallpaper hissy fits..but I can't even use my machine. Thanks to synapse, I am able to workaround some.11:26
xubuntu329going to reboot...fingers crossed. Thanks for the assistance.11:29
xubuntu152Rebooted to same predicament11:33
xubuntu152Think I should just wipe the HDD and fresh install 13.04?11:34
meeseeki thought light-locker is replacing xscreensaver, but latest trusty still uses it for locking13:25

TheSheepit's not ready yet13:26

cubed_rooti tried install gnome using sudo apt-get install gnome-shell, the installation seemed to run successfully, but after logout and restart i'm not seeing the gnome options in the login window15:47
holsteincubed_root: under the session selection15:50
cubed_rooti think that's what i'm talking about:  after install i just see xubuntu and xfce15:51
holsteinhttp://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/12/upgrade-gnome-3-10-ubuntu-13-10 should be relevant.. though, you may not want the PPA's15:51
cubed_rootthanks15:52
holsteinubuntu-gnome-desktop is what they suggest. but, i havent tried it15:53
holsteinyou should be able to just add gnome, and select it15:53
cubed_rootwhat are ppa's again?15:53

holsteini can say, i have installed gnome, and experienced issues15:54
cubed_rooti might leave it alone for now as this is a laptop i use alot15:55
holsteincubed_root: you can always try it in virtualbox, or a live CD :)15:55
cubed_rootactually i've installed it on an older laptop and like it, but i want to try using it for a couple hours to see if i like enough to switch15:56
cubed_root...i want to try doing work on it15:57
holsteincubed_root: you can.. the PPA is probably a good idea at that point15:58
