[01:43] <glitchd> hello  everyone
[01:43] <glitchd> im using xubuntu 13.10 and im getting really bad sound quality thru my headphones and thru the laptop speakers
[01:43] <glitchd> this is a brand new hp probook 4540s
[01:44] <glitchd> wondering if anyone could possibly give me some insight on why or in finding out why
[01:47] <glitchd> ...?
[01:47] <glitchd> cool thx for not responding everyone.
[01:57] <FuuqUmiist> which uses less resources Xubuntu or Linux Mint XFCE?
[01:57] <holstein> FuuqUmiist: try them and see
[01:57] <holstein> FuuqUmiist: should be very similar.. both are free and easy to try on your specific hardware
[01:58] <holstein> both are xfce.. both are ubuntu base.. both should be able to be setup to be quite similar to the other.. mint is not supported here
[02:42] <melt7777> i would say the closer to the master distro the more reliability
[03:33] <DoctorOW> Hello...
[03:47] <DoctorOW> Anyone on?
[04:58] <lestus> anyone know of a good screen capture software that will work in-game?
[04:59] <lestus> or screencasting/webcasting
[05:09] <FuuqUmiist> idk, maybe try the app called RecordMyDesktop
[05:10] <lestus> yea it bugs out
[05:10] <lestus> hence the 'good' part
[05:14] <lestus> recon there is a channel where i can ask?
[05:15] <FuuqUmiist> maybe VLC can webcast and stuff
[05:15] <FuuqUmiist> and record even, i'm not sure
[05:15] <FuuqUmiist> but only elite gamers record their stuff :P
[05:16] <lestus> mhm, haven't looked into it beyond using as player, so not sure what else it's capable of
[05:16] <lestus> lol
[05:16] <lestus> well
[05:16] <lestus> thats not for me to decide :P
[05:18] <lestus> plenty of elite games on lin steam now, like dota 2 :)
[06:01] <lestus> can anyone link an alpha iso of xubuntu 14.04 ?
[06:02] <Unit193> Daily or beta?
[06:02] <Unit193> !daily
[06:02] <lestus> ty
[06:25] <glitchd> hello everyone
[06:25] <glitchd> what could make the sound quality horrible in xubuntu 13.10
[06:26] <glitchd> i remember everything sounded great before but now everything sounds tinny and hollow and horrible
[06:43] <glitchd> anyone awake?
[06:58] <Lestat748> Is there away to make it where the "Num Lock" key come on when Xubuntu starts up?
[08:42] <mapps> Ìû
[09:31] <serranellus> hi everybody, could anyone help me? I have no video playback support at all! Flash videos work fine in Firefox but no video files work with Parole or any other media players. I am sure it is a graphic drivers problem. My card is a Via Unichrome Pro.
[16:09] <logan85> I have a question about 14.04 Beta, it installed fine but the dock style panel at the bottom of the screen is missing. Is this a bug or intentional?
[16:11] <baizon> logan85: intentional
[16:11] <baizon> logan85: you can create one by yourself :)
[16:12] <logan85> alright thanks for letting me know it's supposed to be that way. . . do you know if there are plans for a different kind of dock or what?
[16:17] <GridCube> logan85, no, the new menu launcher has already built a favourites section
[16:17] <GridCube> a panel for those would be redundant
[16:18] <GridCube> again, as baizon said, you can just make your own panel if you feel like you need to have them there :)
[16:18] <brainwash> -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Trusty/Whiskermenu
[16:19] <GridCube> logan85, please remember to report your test of the iso in the tracker
[16:20] <logan85> Thanks! I do like the new menu, I just almost miss the dock panel, but not enough to re-implement it in it's old form.
[16:20] <logan85> I have no idea how to report my test of the iso
[16:21] <GridCube> :) logan85 http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/
[16:21] <GridCube> log in into the iso tracker and report any test you do against the daily isos (the reports for the beta1 are already closed)
[16:22] <GridCube> if you do tests regularly agains the daily isos you will be helping xubuntu a lot
[16:23] <GridCube> in that page you will find detailed information about how and what to test, any questio you should have you can ask on #xubuntu-devel if you want
[16:48] <craigbass1976> I'm on 12.04.  Any trick to get sketchup running?  I can start it, but it's kind of locked up whenever I do.  It seems to have fired up in a new firefox window, but nothing is responding, like buttons and menus.
[16:49] <TheSheep> no it doesn't work on linux :(
[16:50] <craigbass1976> Oh, I thought folks were getting it going in wine.
[16:51] <craigbass1976> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpijaUCNHwg  ?
[16:51] <GridCube> craigbass1976, checked appdb?
[16:51] <craigbass1976> GridCube, never heard of it. checking...
[16:52] <GridCube> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1815
[16:52] <GridCube> craigbass1976, ^
[17:00] <craigbass1976> GridCube, Phaw... I quit.  I think I'm going to give SweetHome 3d a try.  This kitchen app I run now is sucking worse and worse with every new version...
[17:00] <GridCube> why not use online tools?
[17:01] <craigbass1976> GridCube, I don't know that there are any for kitchen design.
[17:04] <craigbass1976> There's a program called 2020, and the've kind of got the market cornered.  I'm trying to avoid turning the last couple of XP machines here at the lumber yard into 7 boxes when XP gets EOL.  More Linux boxes here would be great, but kitchens is the last Windows dependent application.
[17:05] <GridCube> craigbass1976, i used this a while ago and it was not bad for free http://www.floorplanner.com/
[17:06] <craigbass1976> GridCube, will it give me a list of cabinets when I'm done?  B36, W1230, etc?
[17:06] <GridCube> no idea
[17:07] <GridCube> craigbass1976, if you have your old xp licences you can still run the apps on a virtual enviroment if they are so important, and have that enviroment set to just use that, like never connect to the internet or anything
[17:08] <GridCube> so they will be safe of infection and will run your apps
[17:09] <craigbass1976> I just want to pop a bottle of Pino Grigio and have a "burn the stickers" party.
[17:09] <craigbass1976> If I can find Linux apps, all the better.  I think I can do it with Sweet Home 3d, but it will take a bit to learn the program.
[17:11] <GridCube> craigbass1976, there are paid linux programs like this http://cad.arcad.de/products_architecture.php
[17:23] <craigbass1976> GridCube, Thanks for those.
[18:01] <DutchPUA> hi!
[18:01] <DutchPUA> So, I have a small problem. The ISO is 800mb, my CDs are 700mb
[18:01] <DutchPUA> what should I do
[18:03] <starrats> buy some dvd's lol
[18:03] <DutchPUA> ;_;
[18:04] <starrats> or as other folks say 'live cd's'
[18:07] <elfy> DutchPUA: dvd's or usb's for xubuntu now
[18:18] <DutchPUA> I'll just get the 12.04 release
[19:37] <mapps> hey
[19:37] <mapps> how can i make grub boot up without requiring a key press
[19:37] <mapps> it just sits there until i press a ket
[19:39] <elfy> mapps: no errors - just sits there?
[20:28] <mapps> hey elfy
[20:28] <mapps> yea just sits there mate
[20:28] <mapps> i checked /etc/default/grub and timeout is set to 10
[20:28] <elfy> mapps: can you pastebin it please
[20:29] <mapps> yep
[20:29] <mapps> 2sec
[20:29] <mapps> would it work to cat it then | pastebinit ?
[20:29] <elfy> I've had it do that to me - but only when there is an issue with a previous boot
[20:29] <elfy> yep
[20:29] <mapps> hmm
[20:30] <mapps> did it show any errors
 mapps: can you pastebin it please
[20:34] <mapps> ah
[20:34] <elfy> in my experience an error at boot - that stops it booting, when you come back to grub it will just sit there
[20:34] <mapps> sorry
[20:34] <mapps> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7069800/
[20:35] <elfy> mapps: comment the #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 line and update-grub
[20:40] <mapps> hang on why? im sure i read i needed that
[20:42] <mapps> ok done
[20:42] <mapps> rebooting now
[20:43] <elfy> what I'd be expecting with your grub is not to see it - and for it to take 11 seconds
[20:43] <elfy> mmm
[20:43] <elfy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7069862/
[20:44] <mapps> rebooted and its just stuck there again:D
[20:44] <elfy> mine - shows menu and I have 3 seconds to select something else
[20:44] <Unit193> elfy: Can always `diff -u /usr/share/grub/default/grub /etc/default/grub`
[20:44] <mapps> hmm
[20:44] <elfy> mapps: I have GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true yours is false
[20:45] <mapps> ok lets see
 it should only stop booting if it can't complete safely
 GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=10
 that value is how many seconds to wait if it thinks boot failed. default is infinite
 evening all
[20:48] <mapps> you see that elfy ?
[20:49] <elfy> see ^^
[20:49] <elfy> ?
[20:49] <mapps> the GRUB_RECORDFAIL
[20:49] <mapps> i couldnt see it in your paste nor mine
[20:50] <elfy> yea sawa that - I don't have that line set - hence it will just sit there patiently
[20:51] <mapps> http://askubuntu.com/questions/55551/how-can-i-force-ubuntu-to-boot-on-a-stuck-boot-menu
[20:51] <mapps> lets see if that works:)
[20:55] <juan__> good night, I upgraded from ubuntu, but my configurations changed all but the most important and always ask for help is to change the monitor, mine has 1440 * 900 but not shown here, how do I restore to this setting? can someone help? thank you!
[20:57] <mapps> it worked
[20:57] <elfy> mapps: the recordfail line?
[20:57] <mapps> yep
[20:57] <mapps> did you see that askubuntu url? can edit the script in grub.d but adding the RECORDFAIL line is easier
[20:57] <elfy> I'd wonder if you commented it now whether grub would halt
[20:58] <mapps> hmm
[20:58] <elfy> yea I did look
[20:58] <mapps> shall i see?
[20:58] <elfy> it would do my curiosity a world of good :p
[21:00] <mapps> lletssee
[21:02] <mapps> rebooting
[21:03] <mapps> annnnd
[21:03] <mapps> its hanging there
[21:03] <mapps> O_
[21:03] <Travis> Hello.
[21:03] <elfy> odd
[21:03] <mapps> where would it log the error elfy ?
[21:03] <elfy> mapps: well thanks for satisfying the curiousity :)
[21:04] <mapps> i ran reboot should i run shutdown and try again..dunno why its doung this
[21:04] <mapps> aha :)
[21:04] <elfy> not sure that it would log it

[21:07] <mapps> and it didnt take affect until i rebooted..even tho i restarted sshd
[21:07] <elfy> no idea
[21:07] <mapps> ok
[21:08] <mapps> thanks :D
[22:20] <Wilbert> I'm new here. Is it acceptable for me to ask for help getting xubuntu to properly recognize my display here? If not, is there another place I can go for help?
[22:24] <krytarik> Wilbert: Of course, this is Xubuntu support. :)
[22:25] <wilbert_> sorry, had to reboot after reinstalling xubuntu
[22:25] <GridCube> !ask | wilbert_
[23:03] <wilbert> I just installed Xubuntu on an AMD Sempron 3000+ machine with 1G ram alongside Windows XP. Connected is a Samsung SyncMaster 204BM LCD monitor with an optimum resolution of 1600x1200 at 60Hz. When I first installed Xubuntu it was using the screen, but at 1024x768 instead of the optimal resolution. I tried adding a .conf file to the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folder with settings I got using the gtf and xrandr commands. This led to me being
[23:03] <wilbert> able to select the 1600x1200 option. But using that option led to noise on the screen. Perhaps somewhat stubbornly I selected the option anyway and rebooted. The problem persisted, so I deleted the .conf file I added using the terminal, and rebooted again. This time after rebooting I had a weird black-and-white image without anything recognizable. I wasn't able to fix this so I reinstalled Xubuntu. This time around Xubuntu is using 800x600 a
[23:03] <wilbert> s a resolution. It doesn't seem to be detecting my graphics card properly, as it only detects one screen (previously it also saw the S-Video output). The jitter is gone though. No additional drivers were available for me on the first install, and none are available now. What's my next step in getting my monitor to work properly at a higher resolution? Thanks in advance for any and all responses, and sorry for the wall of text.
[23:39] <melt7777> hey guys, i customized my plymouth theme, and it works great on shutdown but still shows the default on boot.... i changed /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth to my themes plymouth file.... any ideas?
