| xubuntu811 | hello | 02:17 |
|---|---|---|
| skribblezatcha | whats up xubuntu811. how are you doing? | 02:19 |
| xubuntu811 | I tried the Nvidia drivers which were in the settings area and I cant seem to get my xorg.conf back to the original after reverting back to the open source driver. | 02:20 |
| xubuntu811 | is there something I can run to reset or reconfigure X? | 02:21 |
| xubuntu811 | xfce? | 02:21 |
| Unit193 | By default, /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't exist. Otherwise, stop Xorg, then run Xorg -configure | 02:22 |
| skribblezatcha | did you go to additional drivers or something xubuntu811? | 02:23 |
| xubuntu811 | thats the place, yes | 02:23 |
| skribblezatcha | and there was a nvidia driver in there that you could install xubuntu811? | 02:23 |
| xubuntu811 | correct | 02:24 |
| skribblezatcha | because i just went there and there are no drivers available for me to install. thats why i was asking. | 02:24 |
| skribblezatcha | ok, so when you went back to the opensource driver, are you having problems at all, or is everything working ok? | 02:24 |
| xubuntu811 | I had to wait a few mins for those to show up. I went back to the opensource one yes and only 640x480 is available now. | 02:26 |
| skribblezatcha | ok, now i feel you. | 02:26 |
| skribblezatcha | as Unit193 said, by default /etc/X11/xorg.conf isnt there, i just went and looked. is it there for you now xubuntu811? | 02:28 |
| xubuntu811 | Iam currently booted to eh recovery mode and its at 800x600 but if I go boot to normal its only smaller. I will check. | 02:28 |
| skribblezatcha | ok, have you thought about deleting it, and seeing if that helps at all? i dont know if thats a good idea or not, but maybe it will go back to default on restart? | 02:29 |
| xubuntu811 | in /etc/X11 there are xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup and xorg.nvidia.fubar.conf | 02:31 |
| xubuntu811 | I can try to delete it and reboot. You think thats a good path to go down? | 02:33 |
| skribblezatcha | delete those and go and restart and see what happens man. | 02:33 |
| skribblezatcha | i would go for it, and hope for the best. | 02:33 |
| xubuntu811 | ok. I will do that. | 02:33 |
| skribblezatcha | since they arent there by default and were created once you installed the driver, i would uninstall the driver and then get rid of those three files, and go and restart. | 02:33 |
| delt | Hello | 03:11 |
| kupo_ | any possible way to change font color of clock and time without having to change theme? | 03:15 |
| GridCube | kupo_, use the orage clock | 03:16 |
| kupo_ | ah i dunno. i'll check it out | 03:16 |
| GridCube | kupo_, its basically the same clock but with more options on its settings | 03:17 |
| kupo_ | do you have to minimize it to get it to panel? | 03:18 |
| GridCube | ? | 03:18 |
| kupo_ | i see like a box and when i put it near top planel it doesnt let me | 03:18 |
| GridCube | no, add the applet called orage clock, right clic on a panel, go to panel -> add new elements, search orage clock | 03:18 |
| kupo_ | ohh. it's an applet. gotcha. thought was just random app | 03:19 |
| GridCube | on its settings you can tell it not to show any borders or menu | 03:19 |
| kupo_ | trying it out now | 03:19 |
| GridCube | with alt-clic-drag you can move it around like any window, it will remember where you leave it and when you clic the cloc in the panel it will pop on and off | 03:20 |
| kupo_ | still not changing colors hmm | 03:21 |
| kupo_ | maybe i need to log out> | 03:21 |
| GridCube | no | 03:21 |
| GridCube | do you see the color settings? | 03:21 |
| kupo_ | non of the chnages seem to work. yeas. after i set i go to close and same thing. width not changing either | 03:21 |
| kupo_ | nevermind. witdh is | 03:22 |
| GridCube | weird | 03:22 |
| GridCube | ? | 03:22 |
| kupo_ | Okay. now it is working strange | 03:22 |
| kupo_ | closed it a few times. thanks. i opened oracle once and thought it was ugly. didn't notice it was an applet | 03:23 |
| kupo_ | my ubuntu fact of day | 03:23 |
| GridCube | orage is the best clock/calendar/alarm P: | 03:24 |
| kupo_ | did find another bug for 14.04 though. right click on weather applet crashes | 03:24 |
| kupo_ | yeah. liking it so far. I just thought it was an appy that stayed open other places heh | 03:24 |
| kupo_ | ah. love linux. changed the weather font color applet too. all is well | 03:27 |
| xubuntu182 | hello | 04:25 |
| skribblezatcha | hi xubuntu182. | 04:25 |
| xubuntu182 | I'm switching from lubuntu to xubuntu | 04:25 |
| xubuntu182 | anything i should know? | 04:25 |
| skribblezatcha | thats cool. | 04:25 |
| skribblezatcha | well its a different DE, so there are different features as well as themes. other than that, you will get used to i think. | 04:26 |
| xubuntu182 | is there any command thats similar to the super+w in ubuntu? | 04:26 |
| xubuntu182 | you know the window spread thing | 04:26 |
| skribblezatcha | i dont know, i have never used that command before. i use window snapping, if thats what you mean? | 04:27 |
| xubuntu182 | kind of like expose on mac | 04:27 |
| xubuntu182 | how would you use window snapping? | 04:28 |
| skribblezatcha | i dont know about that to be honest..someone else may know though. | 04:28 |
| skribblezatcha | window snapping is pretty easy, but you have to make sure that your settings are set up to use it. do you have xubuntu installed, or are you running it live? | 04:28 |
| xubuntu182 | i'm running it live while its installing | 04:29 |
| pleia2 | xubuntu182: not by default, no | 04:29 |
| pleia2 | if you replace the window manager with compiz you might be able to do something, but it's not hugely stable from my experience these days and you're kind of on your own | 04:30 |
| xubuntu182 | so what do you suggest? | 04:30 |
| pleia2 | living without it :) | 04:30 |
| Unit193 | Windows attaching to others? That only happens for the edges of the screen. | 04:31 |
| skribblezatcha | ok cool xubuntu182. want to see what window snapping is? | 04:31 |
| xubuntu182 | mkay i guess | 04:32 |
| xubuntu182 | but what is the window snapping? | 04:32 |
| skribblezatcha | lol ok cool, go to menu, and search settings manager and open it and tell me when you are there xubuntu182. | 04:32 |
| skribblezatcha | i will show you, thats the best way to know. | 04:32 |
| xubuntu182 | there | 04:33 |
| skribblezatcha | ok cool, now go to window manager and tell me when you are there please xubuntu182. | 04:34 |
| ball | Unit193: I think that's configurable. | 04:34 |
| xubuntu182 | ok i see what you're talking about now | 04:34 |
| xubuntu182 | does anyone know of a way to get the mac expose functionality out of xubuntu? | 04:34 |
| skribblezatcha | if you snap it the top and then to a side, you can a corner sized window..i snap windows all of the time. | 04:35 |
| ball | xubuntu182: What does Expose do on a Mac? | 04:36 |
| pleia2 | it gives you thumbnails of all applications running so you can pick through them | 04:36 |
| pleia2 | but as I said, the only way is compiz and that's a mess | 04:36 |
| ball | Sounds hideous. | 04:36 |
| skribblezatcha | could you get that in lxde xubuntu182? | 04:37 |
| skribblezatcha | i dont think so right? | 04:37 |
| xubuntu182 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRMCs1ertG4 skip to 1:00 | 04:37 |
| pleia2 | Ubuntu has a feature to do it, but I tend to agree about hideousness :) people who like it really like it though | 04:37 |
| skribblezatcha | i think that you can get that with gnome though. | 04:37 |
| skribblezatcha | gnome 3. | 04:37 |
| ball | Gnome Shell? | 04:38 |
| ball | Hmm... I don't seem to have any sound. | 04:38 |
| skribblezatcha | http://ubuntugnome.org/ | 04:38 |
| skribblezatcha | check that out ball. | 04:39 |
| skribblezatcha | check that out as well xubuntu182, and see if that is what you are referring to. | 04:39 |
| ball | I've just installed Xubuntu 13.10 amd64 on my daughter's PC. | 04:39 |
| ball | Seems to work alright but I have no sound. | 04:39 |
| xubuntu182 | i also cant install flash for some reason | 04:40 |
| xubuntu182 | it says plugin not founs | 04:40 |
| xubuntu182 | found* | 04:40 |
| pleia2 | !sound | 04:40 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 04:40 |
| ball | I'm not fussed about Flash | 04:40 |
| pleia2 | ^^ lots of debugging pages :) | 04:41 |
| skribblezatcha | ball, go to the volume icon and click on it and then go to sound settings and tell me when you are there please. | 04:41 |
| ball | I click the wee speaker that's top right and get nothing. | 04:41 |
| skribblezatcha | you can get flash too ball. | 04:41 |
| xubuntu182 | thanks guy | 04:42 |
| skribblezatcha | ok, right click on it ball, and tell me what you see please. (the volume icon) | 04:42 |
| xubuntu182 | install done gonna restart | 04:42 |
| skribblezatcha | yw xubuntu182. | 04:42 |
| ball | If I right (left-) click on it, I get a pop-up menu that says "Move", "Remove" and "Panel" | 04:43 |
| skribblezatcha | ok, lol let me show you something real quick ball, and how i have mine setup ok? i like a traditional style desktop. so this is how mine is setup..one sec. | 04:45 |
| ball | skribblezatcha: This is a brand new install. | 04:45 |
| skribblezatcha | http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_-_04032014_-_12_45_32_AM-eQvYmKuS.png | 04:46 |
| skribblezatcha | i also possibly have a different menu than you, that allows for me to search for things. the reason that i mentioned that is because i was going to suggest that you go to menu.. | 04:47 |
| skribblezatcha | and then search for audio mixer and click on that ball. | 04:47 |
| ball | I have Pulseaudio Volume Control, if that counts. | 04:49 |
| ball | Oh good, now I have sound. | 04:49 |
| skribblezatcha | no, its a bit different. | 04:49 |
| skribblezatcha | well good then, that works. | 04:49 |
| skribblezatcha | brb. | 04:50 |
| ball | Don't know what's up with the top one but I can live without that. | 04:50 |
| skribblezatcha | once you get things ok ball, you should be able to use the top one. | 04:50 |
| skribblezatcha | was it muted or something? | 04:50 |
| ball | No, the one in the top menu bar thing just doesn't work. | 04:51 |
| skribblezatcha | it wont turn the volume up or down? | 04:52 |
| ball | There's no slider there. | 04:52 |
| ball | Just a little speaker with "---" next to it. | 04:52 |
| ball | I click (with either mouse button) and don't get a slider. | 04:52 |
| skribblezatcha | i see. right click on it ball, and go to remove. then right click on the panel and go to panel/add new items..then find the audio mixer plugin and click on it and then go to add. | 04:54 |
| skribblezatcha | see if that helps at all. | 04:54 |
| ball | I don't see an audio mixer in the 'Add New Items' list. | 04:55 |
| === jackson is now known as Guest50945 | ||
| skribblezatcha | ok, then go to terminal ball, and enter this command please: sudo apt-get install xfce4-goodies | 04:58 |
| skribblezatcha | once that installs for you ball, you will have that plugin to install..as well as all of the others that are of value too. | 04:58 |
| * ball tries it. | 04:59 | |
| skribblezatcha | nice.:) | 04:59 |
| ball | Hmm... that seems to have installed everything /but/ a volume control | 05:03 |
| ball | Anyway, it's not a show stopper. | 05:05 |
| skribblezatcha | thats impossible, unless that packages has changed ball. are you sure, did you close that window, and then go back to add items and see if you can find the mixer plugin? | 05:05 |
| ball | skribblezatcha: I'm sure. | 05:06 |
| Unit193 | ball: What's the problem real quick? | 05:06 |
| ball | Unit193: No volume slider on the menu bar at the top, right of the screen. | 05:07 |
| skribblezatcha | ok enter this in to terminal ball...sudo apt-get install xfce4-mixer | 05:07 |
| Unit193 | ball: If you're using pulseaudio, indicator-sound, if you're using alsa, volumeicon. | 05:07 |
| ball | Unit193: Can I add those by manually typing the name? | 05:08 |
| Unit193 | Those are packages, indicator-sound uses xfce4-indicator-plugin though. | 05:08 |
| * ball tries installing them. | 05:09 | |
| Unit193 | Err, volumeicon is the application, -alsa is the package. | 05:09 |
| ball | "indicator-sound is already the newest version." | 05:09 |
| * ball shrugs | 05:09 | |
| Unit193 | /usr/lib/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service should then be running. | 05:10 |
| Unit193 | Also make sure indicators have been added to the panel. | 05:10 |
| ball | 'bash: /usr/lib/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service: No such file or directory' | 05:12 |
| * Unit193 is using volumeicon because pulse was acting badly. | 05:12 | |
| Unit193 | Hrm, I have an old version, so perhaps it's changed. | 05:12 |
| ball | Oooh, I wonder whether I should try 'suspend' and resume. | 05:14 |
| ball | brb | 05:15 |
| ball | Well that works! | 05:16 |
| ball | The speaker's not a big deal. At least the audio works. | 05:18 |
| ball | Goodnight everyone! | 05:18 |
| Unit193 | G'night. | 05:18 |
| skribblezatcha | goodnight ball. | 05:18 |
| ArahkasNes | hi, I need some help. I take direction well and if anyone is willing to help I would be most grateful. | 06:20 |
| cfhowlett | !ask|ArahkasNes | 06:20 |
| ubottu | ArahkasNes: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 06:20 |
| ArahkasNes | kk | 06:25 |
| ArahkasNes | so a few days ago, I started up an old should not have started it up program, a gem drop game, at the same time my monitor decided at that time to go on the fritz it got tunnel vision | 06:27 |
| ArahkasNes | so I could not see how to exit the game | 06:27 |
| ArahkasNes | I believe that game program is the problem, I tried to hit a few Control Alt and F's and since when I did the control alt and F7 which is to take me back to the desk top I tried a bunch of others. I had hopped to not turn off the puter when I switched out the monitor, but when I tipped over the tower to put in the cord to the new monitor it turned off. | 06:30 |
| ArahkasNes | now I can not get back to my old settings at all, I am actually logged in as a different user because all except my name comes up when I log in as usual as me as the user | 06:31 |
| ArahkasNes | when I log in as me most of the time I can not use my mouse. | 06:32 |
| ArahkasNes | and once I did see my old screen but it quickly went back to this mess and I could not use the mouse | 06:34 |
| ArahkasNes | worse is I can not get into Admin the password I have written down does not work. | 06:36 |
| ArahkasNes | nor anything else I try. | 06:36 |
| cfhowlett | !password | 06:36 |
| ubottu | Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 06:36 |
| ArahkasNes | It is a strong one. | 06:36 |
| ArahkasNes | it is not my password or the user that I am in now that is not working it is the Admin one that is not working | 06:40 |

| === pinkfloyd is now known as pinkfloydFR | ||
| cfhowlett | xubuntu513 oh. proceed. | 11:08 |
| pinkfloydFR | so all started by putting xbmc in autostart, working well | 11:08 |
| pinkfloydFR | but one day need to go to desktop for doing something, and, surprise, nothing, only the mouse cursor | 11:08 |
| pinkfloydFR | and can't launch a command line, but no after lot of search and test i have a commande line and trying launch then reinstall xfdesktop | 11:09 |
| pinkfloydFR | now my desktop is back, but it's not the previous one ( no menu, no shortcut ) | 11:10 |
| pinkfloydFR | how can i get it back ? | 11:10 |
| cfhowlett | pinkfloydFR I'm guessing you went back to default settings. have to rebuild the xfce4 configuration. save it to a backup site | 11:11 |
| pinkfloydFR | yes is what i want to do ^^ | 11:12 |
| pinkfloydFR | nothing to loose with my old configuration, need a new one ^^ | 11:12 |
| cfhowlett | pinkfloydFR so you have to manually recreate and rebuild the desktop shortcuts, etc ... | 11:12 |
| pinkfloydFR | no problem with this, it's a media center only, not a lot of work | 11:13 |
| pinkfloydFR | the problem is actually i have ony the wallpaper and 3 shortcut, no menu, no "quick start" bar at the bottom of screen | 11:13 |
| pinkfloydFR | quick launch* | 11:14 |
| cfhowlett | pinkfloydFR that would be "panel" | 11:14 |
| pinkfloydFR | there is no way to have the default profil back ? | 11:14 |
| pinkfloydFR | or at less the menu bar on top screen ? | 11:15 |
| cfhowlett | pinkfloydFR new or guest account and copy the panel settings to a piece of paper for recreation | 11:15 |
| pinkfloydFR | where is the xcfe conf file/profile ? | 11:17 |
| cfhowlett | pinkfloydFR wait - gotta look | 11:17 |
| pinkfloydFR | find it ! | 11:17 |
| pinkfloydFR | .config/xfce4 | 11:17 |
| cfhowlett | yep | 11:17 |
| pinkfloydFR | doesn't understand, all my conf is here ( dates 2013 ) | 11:18 |
| pinkfloydFR | arf can't apt-get xfce4-panel :( | 11:23 |
| cfhowlett | pinkfloydFR nothing to apt-get! that's for installing and you don't NEED to install it. you need to copy it! | 11:24 |
| pinkfloydFR | it's missing to !!!! | 11:24 |
| cfhowlett | pinkfloydFR I thought you said you found them? | 11:24 |
| pinkfloydFR | ok apt-get install passed, and menu bar is back ! | 11:24 |
| pinkfloydFR | it's like all my xfce paquage was uninstall | 11:25 |
| cfhowlett | pinkfloydFR good job! | 11:25 |
| cfhowlett | ... | 11:25 |
| pinkfloydFR | thanks a lot ! | 11:25 |
| cfhowlett | oh. | 11:25 |
| cfhowlett | package! | 11:25 |

| jvoisin | Hello, I just updated from 13.10 to 14.04, and my systray is gone :< | 13:51 |
| cfhowlett | jvoisin until it's actually released, support for 14.04 = #ubuntu+1 | 13:51 |
| jvoisin | my bad. Thank you :) | 13:52 |
| GridCube | cfhowlett, :) it would be useful if you point them toward -devel before than +1 :) | 14:01 |
| cfhowlett | GridCube wilco | 14:01 |
| GridCube | :) | 14:01 |
| Pici | devel isn't a support channel | 14:01 |
| recon_lap | I'm looking forward to the next LTR :) | 14:02 |
| cfhowlett | Pici ... true. my understanding was ALL "support" went to +1 ... | 14:02 |
| GridCube | Pici, no, but things regarding our betas we need to know | 14:02 |
| GridCube | even if we then derive them to +1 | 14:03 |
| Pici | -devel would be unusable for developers if we funneled people with issues there | 14:03 |
| GridCube | problems related to betas should go to devel | 14:04 |
| GridCube | more on on weeks previous release date | 14:04 |
| cfhowlett | so the channel policy should be changed then. of course ALL the early adopters are going to flood -devel with beta questions | 14:04 |
| GridCube | its not for general support | 14:04 |
| Pici | that has never been the policy | 14:04 |
| GridCube | alright | 14:05 |
| recon_lap | probably with 3 weeks to release the devs would be getting a bit nervous about bugs . | 14:05 |

| xubuntu960 | hello, I have a small question. The company I work with is planning to migrate everything from windows to linux (finally haha). I would like to install first xubuntu 14.04 since it is coming out soon. If I install the latest version, do I need to re-install the system or just update the required packages once the release candidate would be released? | 17:04 |
| GridCube | updates should be fine | 17:06 |
| GridCube | xubuntu960, remember that 14.04 is still in beta and errors are bound to happen, its not meant for production yet | 17:07 |
| xubuntu960 | thanks a lot GridCube | 17:07 |
| xubuntu960 | I was planning for testing but since we need to modify it alot, i really dont want to reinstall everything | 17:08 |
| GridCube | if you install now try to keep updating constantly | 17:08 |
| xubuntu960 | of course.....thanks a lot...I will download the distro today. | 17:08 |

| darkMatter | ok, thank you, but i was wondering because it was running until yesterday. | 17:15 |
| GridCube | read the topic named "Indicators may fail to load" | 17:16 |
| darkMatter | yes i already read it. but nevertheless i was wondering. but it's still in development. | 17:20 |
| delt | *sigh* that damn bug again.... my TAB key isn't acting normally in term windows | 18:26 |
| delt | also another bug: i map ctrl+alt+shift+left/right to move current window to prev/next desktop, but when i log back in, they don't work... | 18:28 |
| delt | even though they're still listed in the window manager settings -> keyboard section | 18:28 |
| delt | i have to reset them by double clicking the entry and pressing the key combo again | 18:29 |
| delt | then it works until i logout/restart | 18:29 |
| koegs | delt: had something similar with the maximize-option | 18:29 |
| koegs | workaround was to double-delete the old key-assignments | 18:30 |
| delt | what do you mean by "double-delete"? | 18:30 |
| koegs | "maximize window" was already assigned, deleted the assignment and immediately a second key-assignment appeared | 18:31 |
| koegs | deleted that too and then i was able to permanently assign my own keys | 18:31 |
| delt | ah ok, i'll try that. thanks | 18:31 |
| delt | koegs: works!! :D thanks! | 18:33 |
| adrenaline_ | like | 18:35 |
| delt | uh.. i just noticed that there's no Xorg.conf ??? | 18:44 |
| Unit193 | delt: That's normal. | 18:44 |
| delt | ah i see xorg.conf.d in /usr/share/x11 | 18:46 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | yeah, unless you need an xorg.conf for ati/nvidia drivers, that's the best place to add options. | 18:46 |
| delt | ....so which file should i modify if i want to change global options like ctrl+alt+backspace to kill the server, etc.? | 18:47 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | just make a specified conf file and put specific options related to what you're trying to accomplish. | 18:47 |
| delt | oh yeah, i'm using the nvidia proprieteary drivers | 18:47 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | No need to write a whole xorg.conf file. | 18:47 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Oh... Then you need an xorg.conf file. | 18:47 |
| delt | i installed it via the packages in the repo | 18:47 |
| delt | ...so it created a xorg.conf file somewhere? | 18:48 |
| delt | i see this which seems nvidia/opengl related: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Apr 1 14:48 glamoregl.conf -> /etc/alternatives/glamor_conf | 18:48 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I thought it would only make one if you ran nvidia-settings in terminal | 18:48 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | No, wait. | 18:48 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | That's wrong. | 18:48 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | one sec | 18:48 |
| delt | my 3d card is working perfectly, but i don't see a Xorg.conf anywhere in /etc | 18:49 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | nvidia-xconfig | 18:50 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | that's the one. | 18:50 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | sudo nvidia-xconfig | 18:50 |
| delt | nvidia-xconfig - manipulate X configuration files for the NVIDIA driver | 18:50 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | http://askubuntu.com/questions/217758/how-to-make-an-xorg-conf-file | 18:51 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | That has some advice. | 18:51 |

| elfy | this is a support channel not a chat one - xubuntu-offtopic if you want to chat | 18:54 |
| xubuntu024 | ok I will go there . but before I go I have one question on support | 18:54 |
| xubuntu024 | Why dose XBMC not work on xfce ? | 18:54 |
| delt | hmm.... not working :/ | 19:00 |
| delt | my /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows it's using the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, and this file now contains the ServerFlags section with Option "DontZap" "false".... no go :( | 19:01 |
| delt | alt+printscr+k isn't working either.. | 19:02 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | :( | 19:03 |
| skribblezatcha | brb. | 19:03 |
| delt | ahhh, now this works: setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp | 19:07 |
| skribblezatcha | :D | 19:12 |
| notwist | Can I ask about 14.04 here? | 20:15 |
| junka | notwist, #ubuntu+1 | 20:29 |
| elfy | or if it's quick - pop into #xubuntu-devel | 20:33 |
| xubuntu889 | hello | 22:21 |
| xubuntu173 | Hey guys, I'm looking for some help. I accidentally broke my xubuntu gui. I was in the settings editor inside settings manager and changed the resolution to something I thought my monitor supported. Now I boot into a black screen and I don't know how to change it back. I can SSH into it, but VNC leads me to a black screen as well. | 23:21 |
| xubuntu173 | I've tried xrandr but it just says "can't find display" | 23:22 |
| gridcube_ | xubuntu173, if you can get to a tty do sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old | 23:29 |
| gridcube_ | and restart, that should make it so you use the default settings | 23:30 |
| xubuntu173 | Ok. I was looking for the xorg.conf file earlier but I couldn't even find one. I'm not using any proprietary drivers it's an intel onboard video card | 23:31 |
| gridcube_ | if you dont have an xorg.conf then you are using the default drivers and settings | 23:31 |
| xubuntu173 | Ok so maybe since I manually edited the settings editor it didn't create a xorg.conf? What other method can I change the resolution? Why would VNC be a black screen as well? | 23:33 |
