[00:27] <Logan85> Can anyone help me get a Logitech Unifying Receiver mouse working on Xubuntu 14.04?
[00:34] <nitero> hey 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...
[00:36] <Logan85> Got my mouse working.

[05:25] <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?)
[05:27] <nicklas> fibz_, it works yes, it looks ok. root cause? i want the correct driver so i can use the card fully
[05:28] <fibz_> dont fix it if it aint broke
[05:30] <nicklas> fibz_, depends, if you have a ati or nvidia card, and want too use it fully, for 3d programs or gaming, you need the driver
[05:31] <fibz_> depends on the card and the use.   i usually just end up having more problems with the ati/nvidia drivers
[05:35] <Gambitmen> Всем привет
[05:35] <nicklas> fibz_, how can i check what driver is in use? and how do i check performance? dont remember

[09:28] <xubuntu533> Hello
[09:30] <xubuntu533> I'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-manager
[09:31] <xubuntu533> Can anyone help me with this problem, please?
[09:48] <baizon> xubuntu533: check if it is detected by the kernel
[10:13] <xubuntu533> yes it is, my problem is, that b43 driver is installed, function key is working (checked with rfkill list) but no icon and no networks visible
[10:21] <baizon> xubuntu533: try wicd
[10:33] <xubuntu533> what is wicd?
[10:36] <elfy> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD
[11:07] <xubuntu533> o.k. I posted my problem in detail under: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2212987&p=12966300#post12966300
[14:06] <Hedgework> Hey, 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 a
[14:06] <Hedgework> list 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.
[14:07] <Hedgework> Pointers 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.
[14:43] <koegs> Hedgework: why not use NetworkManager?
[14:49] <Hedgework> koegs: 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] <Hedgework> koegs: web search is being unhelpful, as mentioned.
[14:53] <koegs> Hedgework: i am using awesome-wm and i use the standard way with network-manager/nm-applet
[14:54] <xubuntu359> hi, can anyone help me regarding installation?>
[14:54] <koegs> or you use wicd
[14:54] <Hedgework> xubuntu359: Please ask a specific question, that was too vague to answer.
[14:55] <xubuntu359> I downloaded the torrent and opened the folder using winrar. but not sure how to continue from there.
[14:56] <Hedgework> xubuntu359: 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] <xubuntu359> dd to USB?
[14:56] <Kekai> Dodgey DVD
[14:57] <xubuntu359> sorry i never used linux before. am given one week to dl by my tutor
[14:57] <Poisoned_Dragon> Afaik, Windows doesn't burn isos.
[14:57] <Poisoned_Dragon> just use imgburn.
[14:57] <xubuntu359> i read some forum but am too confuse about the instructions
[14:57] <xubuntu359> download imgburn?
[14:58] <Poisoned_Dragon> imgburn is DVD/CD burning software.
[14:58] <elfy> xubuntu359: you can install unetbootin and use a usb to install from - there is a windows version
[14:58] <koegs> xubuntu359: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows OR http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-windows
[14:58] <elfy> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbootin-windows-latest.exe
[15:00] <xubuntu359> so after dl into the usb it will be in the usb?
[15:00] <elfy> well - you don't download it into the usb - unetbootin will create a bootable usb with xubuntu on it
[15:00] <koegs> no, you need to download it to your hard drive and then put it to the usb-stick with a tool like unetbootin
[15:01] <elfy> though unetbootin will download for you - never actually done that
[15:01] <xubuntu359> ok let me try
[15:01] <Poisoned_Dragon> It's a handy feature, if you haven't already gotten the iso
[15:02] <Poisoned_Dragon> But, I don't use unetbootin anymore.
[15:13] <chaslinux> Is there an alt ISO of xubuntu 14.04 yet or a ftp server where I can pull for pxe installing 14.04?
[15:15] <elfy> there will not be an alternate for 14.04 - but you should be able to use the net.iso
[15:16] <xubuntu359> the installation is only 3% now. I clicked distribution: Live x64. not sure if i clicked the right thing
[15:16] <xubuntu359> i wanted to use the iso image that i alrdy downloaded but not sure what is the file
[15:16] <elfy> chaslinux: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2211498
[15:17] <xubuntu359> ?
[15:18] <chaslinux> Great thanks elfy
[15:37] <chaslinux> Thanks elfy
[15:38] <elfy> chaslinux: welcome - hope it helps you
[15:39] <chaslinux> It does - I'm working from someone else's work on a tftp server. Think I can figure it out now, that helped a lot.
[17:36] <chaslinux> quit
[17:36] <chaslinux> oops sorry
[17:42] <elfy> that's ok - you're allowed to leave the channel ...
[18:14] <mapp> hi
[18:14] <mapp> when my net went down earlier xubuntu hasnt reconnected.how can i force this manually
[18:15] <mapp> so if i lose network connection it doesnt reconnect..if router reboots etc
[18:30] <holstein> mapp: not here.. but, that can also matter on the server side
[18:30] <holstein> mapp: i would not reboot the router.. unless, you are willing to reconnect
[18:30] <holstein> mapp: 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..
[19:19] <mapp> holstein but isnt there a way to have it auto reconnect like windows
[19:19] <mapp> its set to static atm
[19:58] <holstein> mapp: in my experiece, windows didnt either
[19:58] <mapp> oh
[19:58] <holstein> i just dont stop my router, unless im ready to reset everything
[19:58] <holstein> some things reconnect, some dont
[21:07] <xubuntu921> hi everyone
[21:23] <Beryl> why does thunar use a service for thumbnailing but some other FMs don't, like dolphin, hmm
[21:24] <knome> Beryl, if something is thumbnailed, it has to be done somewhere in the code
[21:24] <knome> Beryl, doing it outside thunar isn't necessarily a bad thing, and tumblr does provide the service for any other app as well
[23:51] <glitchd> hello all
[23:52] <glitchd> just trying to figure out what this icon next to my power icon is..
[23:52] <Beryl> I'm running xubuntu with gdm instead of lightdm and openbox isntead of xfwm lol
[23:52] <Beryl> the social media crap?
[23:52] <glitchd> im not sure..
[23:53] <glitchd> when i right click it, it gives the same options that the battery icon does
[23:54] <glitchd> im using xubuntu 13.10, and im in a xfce session instead of a xubuntu session.
[23:54] <glitchd> any other ideas Beryl?
[23:55] <glitchd> any other ideas Beryl ?
