Logan85Can anyone help me get a Logitech Unifying Receiver mouse working on Xubuntu 14.04?00:27
niterohey guys.  having a problem with my native volume control in xubuntu.  only levels 0-2 are working, and the other 30 or so are the same as volume level 2.  i've been trying to figure it out for a while with the ubuntu channels.  wondering if anyone could help?  or could maybe tell me where the issue is - such as Pulse Audio, or ALSA?  i don't really know how to install OSS to replace ALSA / or how I would switch back if I had to...00:34
Logan85Got my mouse working.00:36

fibz_nicklas, are you able to set the screen resolution to the correct size? (what is the root cause for asking the nvidia driver question?)05:25
nicklasfibz_, it works yes, it looks ok. root cause? i want the correct driver so i can use the card fully05:27
fibz_dont fix it if it aint broke05:28
nicklasfibz_, depends, if you have a ati or nvidia card, and want too use it fully, for 3d programs or gaming, you need the driver05:30
fibz_depends on the card and the use.   i usually just end up having more problems with the ati/nvidia drivers05:31
GambitmenВсем привет05:35

xubuntu533Hello09:28
xubuntu533I've got some problems getting my Dell Latitude D600 working with Xubuntu 12.04.4 - WLAN doesn't work. I installed the b43 driver, but not even the wireless icon is vissible nor do I get any wireless networks viewn by network-manager09:30
xubuntu533Can anyone help me with this problem, please?09:31
baizonxubuntu533: check if it is detected by the kernel09:48
xubuntu533yes it is, my problem is, that b43 driver is installed, function key is working (checked with rfkill list) but no icon and no networks visible10:13
baizonxubuntu533: try wicd10:21
xubuntu533what is wicd?10:33
elfyhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD10:36
xubuntu533o.k. I posted my problem in detail under: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2212987&p=12966300#post1296630011:07
HedgeworkHey, all.  Quick question...I'm not as familiar with *buntu's networking stack as I used to be -- my other machines use wicd -- and I'm trying to figure out a not-annoying way to manage what I'm connected to when using Xubuntu with a different WM (namely i3).  I'm finding that something's changed since last I tried to do this, most importantly that "iwconfig <interface name> scanning" no longer returns a14:06
Hedgeworklist of available APs, and if my wifi chipset gets turned off while I'm not in Xfce4, I am not able to cycle it back on using ifconfig.  I'll suffer a GUI (preferably a lightweight one) if needed, but I'd like things running smoothly in i3.14:06
HedgeworkPointers to relevant docs appreciated -- I hate to ask for hand-holding of any kind but web searches keep turning up instructions on using the gui via the Xfce4 applet, which isn't terribly helpful in this context.14:07
koegsHedgework: why not use NetworkManager?14:43
Hedgeworkkoegs: that's be fine if I could find documentation on an interface that doesn't kill my workflow.  The man pages for ifconfig and iwconfig don't specify alternate methods for the things I mentioned, and they don't work any more.14:49
Hedgeworkkoegs: web search is being unhelpful, as mentioned.14:49
koegsHedgework: i am using awesome-wm and i use the standard way with network-manager/nm-applet14:53
xubuntu359hi, can anyone help me regarding installation?>14:54
koegsor you use wicd14:54
Hedgeworkxubuntu359: Please ask a specific question, that was too vague to answer.14:54
xubuntu359I downloaded the torrent and opened the folder using winrar. but not sure how to continue from there.14:55
Hedgeworkxubuntu359: I would assume (hope) that Windows comes with some way to burn an ISO image to disk or dd-equivalent it onto a USB stick...however not having used Windows since 2000-ish, I'm afraid I can't be more help than that. :(14:56
Hedgework(Unless you want me to mail you a DVD :P)14:56
xubuntu359dd to USB?14:56
KekaiDodgey DVD14:56
xubuntu359sorry i never used linux before. am given one week to dl by my tutor14:57
Poisoned_DragonAfaik, Windows doesn't burn isos.14:57
Poisoned_Dragonjust use imgburn.14:57
xubuntu359i read some forum but am too confuse about the instructions14:57
xubuntu359download imgburn?14:57
Poisoned_Dragonimgburn is DVD/CD burning software.14:58
elfyxubuntu359: you can install unetbootin and use a usb to install from - there is a windows version14:58
koegsxubuntu359: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows OR http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-windows14:58
elfyhttp://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbootin-windows-latest.exe14:58
xubuntu359so after dl into the usb it will be in the usb?15:00
elfywell - you don't download it into the usb - unetbootin will create a bootable usb with xubuntu on it15:00
koegsno, you need to download it to your hard drive and then put it to the usb-stick with a tool like unetbootin15:00
elfythough unetbootin will download for you - never actually done that15:01
xubuntu359ok let me try15:01
Poisoned_DragonIt's a handy feature, if you haven't already gotten the iso15:01
Poisoned_DragonBut, I don't use unetbootin anymore.15:02
chaslinuxIs there an alt ISO of xubuntu 14.04 yet or a ftp server where I can pull for pxe installing 14.04?15:13
elfythere will not be an alternate for 14.04 - but you should be able to use the net.iso15:15
xubuntu359the installation is only 3% now. I clicked distribution: Live x64. not sure if i clicked the right thing15:16
xubuntu359i wanted to use the iso image that i alrdy downloaded but not sure what is the file15:16

mapphi18:14
mappwhen my net went down earlier xubuntu hasnt reconnected.how can i force this manually18:14
mappso if i lose network connection it doesnt reconnect..if router reboots etc18:15
holsteinmapp: not here.. but, that can also matter on the server side18:30
holsteinmapp: i would not reboot the router.. unless, you are willing to reconnect18:30
holsteinmapp: you can also set the clients to use static IP's outside the DHCP range, all of which is likely more suited for a networking channel..18:30
mappholstein but isnt there a way to have it auto reconnect like windows19:19
mappits set to static atm19:19
holsteinmapp: in my experiece, windows didnt either19:58
mappoh19:58
holsteini just dont stop my router, unless im ready to reset everything19:58

xubuntu921hi everyone21:07
Berylwhy does thunar use a service for thumbnailing but some other FMs don't, like dolphin, hmm21:23
knomeBeryl, if something is thumbnailed, it has to be done somewhere in the code21:24
knomeBeryl, doing it outside thunar isn't necessarily a bad thing, and tumblr does provide the service for any other app as well21:24
