| GeekDude | Xubuntu (and also ubuntu when that was what was installed) looks really odd on boot and shutdown. Sorry for the blurry shutdown picture, but there was only a second or so that it was showing, which was a bit too fast for my phone's autofocus. http://imgur.com/a/TC5VQ | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| GeekDude | Any way for me to resolve this video issue? | 00:06 |
| ObrienDave | that is weird. are your graphics drivers current? | 00:07 |
| GeekDude | I'm not sure how to check | 00:09 |
| GeekDude | I just installed xubuntu (wiping the drive) today | 00:09 |
| GeekDude | set it to install updates over ethernet while it installed the OS | 00:09 |
| GeekDude | then let it run the post-installation updates | 00:09 |
| ObrienDave | that should get you the latest repo versions | 00:09 |
| ObrienDave | which video card or chipset? | 00:11 |
| GeekDude | not sure | 00:13 |
| * GeekDude checks | 00:13 | |
| GeekDude | according to http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/opti_320techspecs.pdf | 00:14 |
| GeekDude | ATI Radeon® Xpress 1100 Professional Chipset | 00:14 |
| ObrienDave | i would think you need to search for drivers from Dell | 00:18 |
| ObrienDave | or ATI as a last resort. usually the manufacturers drivers are optimized for your computer whereas ATIs are more generic | 00:20 |
| GeekDude | Supposing I found some, would that also increase the performance of pipelight's "hardware acceleration"? | 00:21 |
| ObrienDave | hard to say, i would think so but cant be sure | 00:22 |
| GeekDude | As it is, it runs choppily at standard definition video, and I don't even want to think of high definition | 00:24 |
| GeekDude | seems there hasn't been proprietary support since ubuntu 8.01 | 00:27 |
| ObrienDave | that's possible considering the age of the computer. you might have to locate an ATI driver that works | 00:30 |
| Blue1 | I am trying to get print screen to work in xubuntu 14.04 -- have been schlepping for 45 minutes no ideas | 01:57 |
| David-A | Blue1: what happens when you press the PrintScreen button? | 02:14 |
| David-A | Blue1: do you have this settings: Settings>Keyboard>ApplicationShortcuts? is the Print key associated with a command there? | 02:20 |

| MetaCosm | Got a weird issue... I have keybindings setup for switching desktops (alt-1.. alt-2.. etc), after I set them via settings->window manager->keyboard they work -- but after a reboot they stop working. They still show as properly mapped and if I got into settings are "rebind" them (alt-1 to alt-1 again) ... they start working | 05:58 |

| cousteau | xubuntu 12.04. How can I change the default monospace font? | 08:38 |
| cousteau | right now it's Droid Sans Mono, I think. This font has a different width when bold, so it's not very monospace on code editors. I'd like to change it to DejaVu Sans Mono. | 08:39 |
| cousteau | I often can do this per application, but I'd rather change it system-wide | 08:40 |
| cousteau | (I'd consider this as a "bug" in the font, btw) | 08:58 |
| koegs | cousteau: xfce4-settings-manager -> appearance -> Fonts | 09:14 |
| cousteau | only one font there | 09:15 |
| cousteau | the "default font" (which I guess is what "sans" defaults to). But there's no setting for monospace font there. (at least on my Xubuntu version) | 09:16 |
| cousteau | but thanks anyway :) | 09:16 |
| cousteau | ...yuck, I activated the sub-pixel smoothing; I had forgotten how much I hate it | 09:18 |
| koegs | cousteau: seems that there is no menu for that: http://from-mac-to-xubuntu.tumblr.com/post/37327811400/change-default-monospace-font | 09:28 |
| cousteau | koegs, cool, thanks! | 09:31 |
| * cousteau adds those lines to his .fonts.conf, together with the hack to remove the bitmap font from the Calibri font | 09:32 | |
| xubuntu382 | how can i get lightdm to run an xrandr script on startup? there is no lightdm.conf | 13:36 |
| xubuntu382 | i tried making one and setting display-setup-script as the only option but that didn't work | 13:38 |

| Alpha-Omega | Does anyone know why MPV doesn't show an OSD? | 17:57 |
| Alpha-Omega | Anyone?> | 18:18 |
| elfy | Alpha-Omega: what's MPV? | 18:26 |
| Alpha-Omega | elfy: a video player | 18:27 |
| Alpha-Omega | http://mpv.io/ | 18:27 |
| Alpha-Omega | the link shows the OSD that should show by default, but the Xubuntu repo install doesn't seem to show it. | 18:27 |
| elfy | Alpha-Omega: no idea - get the same here in 14.10 - there is a channel #mpv-player | 18:37 |
| elfy | try there perhaps | 18:37 |
| Alpha-Omega | elfy: I'll try, thanks | 18:37 |
