ghkrfthello ppl11:42
ghkrftgreetings11:42
knomehello11:42
ghkrftI installed Xubuntu 14.04.1 and updated to the latest kernel and installed Synaptics and found Ubuntu Software Center is gone, any fix?11:43
knomeno reason why it would be gone11:44
ghkrftI searched Ubuntu Software Center on the menu bar but nothing show up. I downloaded a deb package and double click it, the archive manager shows up.11:45
ghkrftIt would be Ubuntu Software Center, now it is gone.11:45
ghkrftI updated to Kernel version 3.17.0-031700-generic11:45
knomewhat does 'apt-cache policy software-center' in terminal say11:46

knome^ for the future11:47
ghkrftOK11:47
ghkrft my mistake11:47
knomein terminal, run 'sudo apt-get install software-center'11:47
knomeand see what that says11:47
ghkrftMy first time using IRC11:47
knomeultimately, it should simply reinstall software center11:47
ghkrftIs this caused by installing Synaptic package manager that  deleted software center?11:50
knomeghkrft, no, afaik they shouldn't conflict.11:50
ghkrftThanks man it is back.11:50
knomeghkrft, if they do, the last command will say that synaptic would be removed11:50
knomebut i see no reason why it would11:50
knomeno problem, enjoy11:50
ghkrftI only installed Synaptic package manager and updated the kernel. I don`t remember removing the software center.11:51
knomehaven't heard of a similar problem before, and if many people do not start reporting that, then *shrug* :)11:52
ghkrftAnd one more issue. I got low sound from the Headphone which has a EAPD node.11:52
knomebut of course good that you have USC back11:52
knomeevery output device basically has its own volume level11:54
knomemeaning, when you plug headphones in, the volume level is reverted to what it was the last time you used them11:54
knomeso maybe as the first thing check what pavucontrol (pulseaudio volume control) says about the volume level when you have those plugged in11:54
ghkrftNo it is extremely low despite I slide to the max volume.11:55
knomethen i don't know very much about the issue11:55
ghkrftCheck here. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/135772411:56
ubottuUbuntu bug 1357724 in alsa-driver (Ubuntu) "Extremely low volume from HP, also skipping and distorted voice" [Undecided,New]11:56
ghkrftI was told to try this patch below, but I dunno how to apply it.https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=148981&action=diff#a/sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c_sec211:57
ghkrftShould I download a kernel source and add the lines?11:57
ghkrftAnd then compile and install?11:58
knomesomehing along the lines, but aiui, you'd "only" have to build one module11:58
ghkrftYes, there two options11:59
knomeif you are comfortable doing that, then do it, otherwise, wait for another answer from the developer(s)12:00
ghkrftI was told to try them.12:00
ghkrftNo more response from the bug I submitted.12:00
ghkrftIs that possible to apply the patch directly to the kernel?12:01
knomeyou can post a follow-up to the bug, i think it's fair after a month of silence12:01
knomeno, i don't think so12:01
ghkrftDo I have to download from source and apply the patch?12:02
knomethat's how i understand it12:02
ghkrftOk then thanks.12:05
knomegood luck12:06
xubuntu85oI think I know the answer to my question but I want to double-check. I am running Xubuntu 12.04 and I'm notified that Ubuntu 14.04 is available. If I run the update, will I get Xubuntu 14.04 or Ubuntu 14.04? I think the answer is Xubuntu 14.04. The labeling is kind of confusing. Thanks13:35
slickymasterWorkdid you installed Xubuntu 12.04 originally xubuntu85o? or did you installed the xubuntu destop package on top of Ubuntu 12.04?13:37
xubuntu85oXubuntu 12.04 was what I installed originally. I've been happy with it and I like the LTS factor too.13:38
slickymasterWorkbeing that xubuntu85o, you'll get Xubuntu 14.04 when you upgrade13:40
xubuntu85oOk, I'll let it rip. I'm studying for my LPIC certification so I've been working on it a lot. Thanks for the quick response.13:41

recon_lapgot a question, compiling pcb2gcode and I'm missing libgtkmm , as this is a gnome lib should I just install it and continue or try something else?15:16
nomicgot 14.04 out of the box here -- installed ubuntu-restricted extras  & no sound - video plays too fast in youtube (?)  any ideas?15:20
nomicnever seen anything like that .. video is skipping ahead jumping seconds15:20
holsteinnomic: youtube uses flash.. make sure you are using the latest version of flash that is *only* available to linux from the chrome browser.. or, opt into html5..15:21
holsteinhttp://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/15:21
recon_lapok, libgtkmm appears to be the wrong package (No package 'gdkmm-2.4' found)15:21
holsteinif that is how you are testing the audio, i would try different flash for that as well..15:22
holsteinthe restricted extras version of flash is behind on what youtube officially supports..15:23
nomici just went to flash plugin check page and it says up to date15:24
holsteinnomic: sure.. its "up to date" with what is available to linux15:24
holsteinnomic: which, if you reference http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ , you will see is behind current15:25
nomicso I should abandon installing "restricted extras"15:25
nomicand install flash manually15:25
holsteinnomic: you will note, main linux gets 11.2.. and chrome gets 1515:25
holsteinnomic: there is no "should" friend.. adobe and youtube *should* support linux.. but, they are not15:26
holsteinnomic: if you are experiencing issues with flash content, try the latest version of flash15:26

holsteinyou can either install chrome (not chromium) from the google site, which comes with current flash, or you can install pepperflashplugin-nonfree, which sill get that *same* flash version and make it available to the chromium browser15:28
holsteinnomic: or, you can opt into htlm5 https://www.youtube.com/html5 and try that as well15:29
nomicim instlling chrome15:29
nomicstill no sound15:31
holsteinnomic: do you have sound at all? please dont troubleshoot too many things at once.. close the web browser, and test your audio with a simple known good audio file locally15:32
holstein!audio15:32
ubottuIf 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 !mp3.15:32

holsteinnomic: so, do you have *any* sound?15:33
nomicNO15:33
holsteinnomic: please, no caps.. it can be mis-interpreted and impatience15:34
nomicwas a mistake15:34
nomicI apologise for using caps once15:34
holsteinnomic: i would run, in a terminal, "lspci" and see that i see my audio hardware.. then, i would run "aplay -l" and "arecord -l".. you can paste those if you need help parsing the data15:35

nomicwhy not just use pastebin15:39
nomicnot here15:39
nomicok there you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/8533646/15:40
nomicno audio15:40
holsteinnomic: looks like only your hdmi audio is showing up..15:40
nomicwhat does that mean15:41
nomicplease15:41
holsteinnomic: do you have other hardware? did you disable the non-hdmi audio (if there is any) in the bios?15:41
nomicI reset the bios to factory15:41
nomicmaybe I should look @ the bios15:41
holsteinnomic: hdmi is the little "usb looking" video connector.. it carries both audio and video. or is capable of carrying both15:41
nomici've got the sound plugged into the earphone plug15:42
holsteinnomic: you can see from the command "aplay -l" that *only* hdmi audio is showing up there..15:42
nomicok15:42
nomicso hdmi is the _ connector15:42
nomicI've never used anythin other than the earphoen jack15:42
holsteinhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI15:42
holsteinnomic: the "earphone jack" you are referring to is not being presented to you to use by alsa15:43
nomicwhy not -- maybe its disabled in the bios?15:43
holsteinnomic: thats one option yes.. the other, its broken, phyisically.. the device doesnt support linux.. its misconfigured.. etc..15:43
* nomic screams15:43
holsteini start with hardware, since software wont fix that15:44
holsteinif the hardware is broken, for example, you can just waste time trying to address it in software.. so, check the bios, then, try it in whatever operating sysystem the manufacturer promised you they would support.. likely windows.. if it works in windows, then its not physically broken15:45
nomicit worked in windows15:45
nomicheard it15:45
holsteinok.. so, as long as that "it worked in windows" is not so far past-tense that its still relevant, then you can assume the device is not physically broken15:45
nomicyeah it was bios 'integrated audio' --- 'disabled'15:45
nomiccool thanks15:46
holsteinnomic: so, thats what i would look at first.. if you are trying to use the inegrated audio, and have it disabled.. enable it, and the audio should "just work"...15:46
nomicprolly fixed it15:46
nomici reboot15:46
holsteinnomic: nothing was broken to fix.. but, that should enable it, yes15:46
nomic'fixed' in setup15:47
nomicwhy don't you like pastebin15:47
holsteinnomic: i never said, nor meant to imply that. use whatever paste you want..15:47
holsteinnomic: but, ubuntu paste is up here..15:48
nomicstill obscure problem .. going to resinstall with the mp3 thing etc .. sound is going thru but not out15:51
nomicspeaker15:51
holsteinnomic: ok.. please seperate out your issues15:52
holsteinnomic: if you hear audio, you have sound working.. so, thats not a codec issue at all15:52
holsteinnomic: reinstalling the "mp3 thing" will only effect that mp3 codec.. the restricted extras package will have all the support you need for mp3 and other codecs..15:52
holstein!restricted15:52

nomicthats it15:53
nomicstill need restricted extras15:53
nomicdidn't install it15:53
holsteinnomic: you can search the repos for "Fluendo" and install the fluendo mp3 codec if you want..15:53
nomicok15:53
nomicif I need it15:53
holsteinnomic: you need to add *something* to allow mp3 playback15:53
holsteinnomic: mp3's dont support xubuntu out of the box15:54
nomicis 'fluendo' in synaptic15:54
holsteinnomic: there will be packages available when you search "fluendo".. synaptic is a package manager..15:54

baptism_whats the problem?16:46
Alftandhow do i assign a different icon to a desktop file16:46
Alftandin this instance minecraft.jar16:46
Alftandi wanna assign the minecraft logo icon to it16:47
Alftandbut i dont know how16:47
Alftandim too new to xfce16:47
Alftandhello?16:48
baptism_honestly, i don't know16:48
Alftandanyone else know16:48
Alftand...tumbleweed rolls by...16:48
baptism_might be easiest just to create a launcher and link to the jar16:49
baptism_put minecraft in a folder somwhere, right click on your desktop and create launcher16:50
baptism_theres an icon option in the creator dialog16:51
Alftandhow do i link the launcher to the application?16:52
Alftand#16:53
Alftand...16:53
baptism_click on the browse icon and locate the executable16:55
GridCubeAlftand, go to >new element >launcher >add, new launcher is created at the end of the panel. right clic the new launcher and go to properties >clic the white sheet with a green plus> in name type Minecraft, in command type java -jar /path/to/Minecraft.jar >clic no icon, go to "image files", search your icon, save everything16:56
Alftandthx16:57
Alftandlegend16:57
Alftand:-)16:57
Alftandthats going on my mousepad "list of useful commands to know" :-)16:57
GridCube:/ i can't right clic on my desktop and its no showing stuff that should be there http://i.imgur.com/lEUjtSr.png16:59
Alftandit sounds like a basic solution but you could try a reboot17:01
Alftandor using task manager to kill xfdesktop17:02
GridCubeD: running xfdesktop fixed things17:02
Alftandall better17:02
GridCubewhy is not xfdesktop running by default... what did id id17:02
GridCubedid17:02
Alftandyou could put a launcher in the taskbar with the command: xfdesktop17:03
Alftandso whenever you boot you can just click it17:04
Alftandand the desktop will work17:04
AlftandGridCube, i hope this helps, if not, just let me know :-)17:05
elfyAlftand: just as a fyi here - if you have something that you want to run each boot - you can add those in Session & Startup - Application Autostart17:06
Alftandoh17:07
Alftandkk17:07
Alftandim new to the supporting thing17:07
elfythought I'd let you know is all :)17:07
Alftandthx17:07
Alftandi just been helpin GridCube at the moment17:07
elfyyep - saw :)17:08
harryadams26__there17:09
=== harryadams26__ is now known as Alftand
Alftandim back17:09
Alftandi was switching to hexchat17:09
GridCubeAlftand, that service should be run by default, and its listed as it runs by default and restarts itself, but did not17:10
Alftandim not the most adept at all of this17:12
Alftandmy best suggestion is to add a launcher in the taskbar17:13
Alftandwith the command xfdesktop17:13
GridCubenah17:13
elfyAlftand: was - now you know another method - that's how everyone learns :)17:13
GridCubethats not the proper way to do this17:13
elfybut things like xfdesktop should just start17:14
Alftandik17:14
Alftandbut he said that xfdesktop is already on the startup list17:15
elfyyep - things go awry sometimes17:15
GridCubewell, now it works17:16
elfy:)17:16
Alftandi said at first that a reboot might do it17:19
