| Guest44823 | hello | 03:59 |
|---|---|---|
| SkpS | Hi | 04:00 |
| xubuntu732 | hello, I need some help finding the appropriate drivers for my notebook. is there anyone here that could help me with this issue? I have the specs on this notebook and I am positive that both the audio and video are not working properly since I have updated my computer, installed pepper-flash and updated the codecs as well. | 04:24 |
| xubuntu732 | both audio and video are choppy in every program | 04:25 |
| holstein | so, is it audio? or just flash? try and isolate the web streaming from local playback.. | 04:26 |
| holstein | !audio | 04:26 |
| 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. | 04:26 |
| xubuntu732 | thanks i'll give it a try. | 04:27 |
| xubuntu732 | Okay i'm not sure what it means when you reference with the explanation poione like this example- "For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3." | 05:15 |
| xubuntu732 | sorry-- explanation point | 05:15 |
| xubuntu732 | Also, I think I have identified the chipset but I can't be positive that I have Alsa support for the card. Linux is showing me card and sound modules are in place but the read is hard determining what linux, alsa, and intel have to say. | 05:20 |
| xubuntu732 | linux says:"Audio device: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) HD Audio Controller (rev 07)" IS this an ICH 7? | 05:22 |
| xubuntu732 | And, if so, to which southbridge? | 05:23 |
| xubuntu732 | Intel says I have a Intel® System Controller Hub US15W Chipset with an Atom Processor and that is not listed as such on the Alsa website | 05:24 |
| xubuntu732 | Ok, so I'm a little lost trying to interpret the data. I need to line up two pieces of data. First, if you go to http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Intel then could you help me see if my card lines up with the data. I;m thinking my card may not be supported and I might have to try a different approach. Thans | 05:30 |
| xubuntu732 | Thanks | 05:30 |
| xubuntu732 | I just need to figure out if my card Does anyone know how to use the terminal to pull up results simular to those on http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Intel?? | 05:41 |

| xubuntu732 | 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) HD Audio Controller [8086:811b] (rev 07) MEAN anything to you? | 05:45 |
| xubuntu732 | Alsa gives me three options. | 05:46 |
| xubuntu732 | #1 ICH southbridge AC97 audio | 05:47 |
| cfhowlett | then it would seem to be supported. hey, bring this to #ubuntu more eyes | 05:47 |
| xubuntu732 | #2I CH southbridge AC97 modem | 05:47 |
| xubuntu732 | #3 ICH southbridge HD-audio and modem | 05:48 |
| xubuntu732 | I will goto ubuntu tommorow. Its late... thought I'd give you guys a try. | 05:48 |

| xubuntu732 | What is the usage... #ubuntu or see !players and !mp3 | 05:50 |

| Trinity | i have 3 monitors and i was able to set up the panel to be on the middle of the screen but how do I get my icons to go to the center screen as well? | 06:53 |
| baizon | Trinity: which xfce version? | 06:54 |
| Trinity | 4.12 | 06:56 |
| Trinity | i tried 4.10 and upgraded to 4.12 when i saw a feature called primary monitor but it's not working | 06:56 |
| baizon | Trinity: have you tried xrandr primary? | 06:57 |
| Trinity | baizon, yup | 06:57 |
| Trinity | xrandr and then appending --primary right? | 06:58 |
| Trinity | baizon, sorry had to restart to test | 07:01 |
| baizon | Trinity: np, that was the command i meant xrandr --output LVDS1 --primary | 07:01 |
| Trinity | hmm, any ideas what the issue could be? seems trivial enough that it should work without additional fixes ;/ | 07:02 |
| hmnhf | Hi, Is there a way to disable internet connection checking before login? Everytime I restart xubuntu, it waits looking for an internet connection. | 09:18 |

| Agent_Smith1 | having trouble setting the hotkey to drop down the terminal | 13:38 |
| Agent_Smith1 | says command xfce4-terminal --dropdown does not exist | 13:38 |
| pmjdebruijn | what should "dropdown" do? | 13:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | http://www.linuxcertif.com/man/1/xfce4-terminal/en/ | 13:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | are you sure that's a valid parameter? | 13:42 |
| pmjdebruijn | (maybe it's only recently been added) | 13:42 |
| Agent_Smith1 | trying to make it similar to guake | 13:43 |
| pmjdebruijn | how do you figure that's valid parameter? | 13:43 |
| Agent_Smith1 | what would you suggest a valid parameter is | 13:43 |
| Agent_Smith1 | i'll just use guake | 13:45 |
| brainvvash | Agent_Smith1, it's --drop-down | 13:46 |
| pmjdebruijn | ah :) | 13:47 |
| Agent_Smith1 | i still get Failed to execute child process "xfce4-terminal" (No such file or directory) | 13:48 |
| Agent_Smith1 | i don't see it in the commands folder | 13:48 |
| pmjdebruijn | commands folder? | 13:51 |
| brainvvash | does it work if run from a terminal window or via Alt + F2? | 13:53 |
| Agent_Smith1 | it doesn't | 13:55 |
| Agent_Smith1 | but i'll just use guake so it's of no consequence | 13:55 |
| brainvvash | ok then | 13:56 |
| Agent_Smith1 | it is kind of weird | 13:56 |
| brainvvash | of course it is | 13:57 |
| brainvvash | it should work just fine | 13:57 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | I am having a little problem. My network samsung multifunctional printer can print over the network but I cannot do scan and it says no scanner is found. Should I infer that the scanner is broken?? Any help????? | 14:10 |
| bazhang | try simple scan yet | 14:14 |
| pmjdebruijn | Sohail-Ahmed: not all printers have complimentary scanner drivers on linux | 14:15 |
| pmjdebruijn | and/or support network scanning | 14:15 |
| bazhang | !info simple-scan | 14:15 |
| ubottu | simple-scan (source: simple-scan): Simple Scanning Utility. In component main, is optional. Version 3.14.0-0ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 143 kB, installed size 684 kB | 14:15 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | bazhang: sorry for being late, I was tracking my supposedly lost package and had to call CSR. any way simple scan isn't working. I tried it first. | 14:29 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | pmjdebruijn: I have not understood your point, I have installed the driver provided by the manufacturer and the driver description clearly says that its a printer and scanner driver. Moreover I was successfully printer over the network without even this particular driver. | 14:31 |
| bazhang | multifunction are hit and miss | 14:31 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | sorry hit and miss? | 14:31 |
| bazhang | some work out of the box, some never work | 14:32 |
| brainvvash | maybe someone in #ubuntu knows how to address your problem | 14:33 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | I tried their but no body responded. | 14:34 |
| brainvvash | it's a specific issue (hardware/driver), maybe you'll need to contact the manufacturer directly | 14:35 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | bazhang: any final advice to confirm scanner being broken. | 14:36 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | good idea brainvvash, thanks!! | 14:36 |
| brainvvash | I assume that you have already used google and co to search for a solution, right? | 14:37 |
| brainvvash | there are places like askubuntu, ubuntuforums, launchpad,.. it's possible that someone else has encountered the same problem and has documented how to solve it | 14:38 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | yes. The ubuntu doc center have some words for my samsung series, especially multifunctional printers that they require super user privileges to work. I even tried that. | 14:38 |
| pmjdebruijn | Sohail-Ahmed: manufacturer tend to support linux rather poorly | 14:39 |
| pmjdebruijn | and scanner on multifunctionals are particularly poorly supported generally speaking | 14:40 |
| * pmjdebruijn has no experience with samsung particularly | 14:40 | |
| pmjdebruijn | Sohail-Ahmed: sometimes the scanning function only works via usb, not via network | 14:40 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | pmjdebruijn: but its manufacturer dependent. Some do release information to let peolple make open source drivers.Yea I noticed that today, when I connected a standalone hp sccaner and its working while my window colleage had to do a bunch of installation to make it working. | 14:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | yes it is, that's exactly our point | 14:42 |
| pmjdebruijn | scanning over network might not be supported at all | 14:42 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | pmjdebruijn: I tried usb-sscaaning and same problem | 14:42 |
| pmjdebruijn | does the mfc support scanning via webinterface | 14:43 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | sorry? | 14:43 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | ok | 14:43 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | I have not isntalled their smart panel on my ubunutu machine but my gamming machine/window have their smart panel and it does not support scanning through web. Actually It does not support printing though that panel. | 14:45 |
| pmjdebruijn | it doesn't scan via a webservice? that's uncommon | 14:50 |
| pmjdebruijn | no clue then | 14:50 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | pmjdebruijn: brainvvash, bazhang: Finally I have managed to use my scanner via usb-connection. Its working now but not over network. But thats not a problem. the manual did suggest to install the driver as a super user which I initially comply by using sudo ./install and that did not work. but when I executed after becomming super user by sudo -s it worked. does using a command with sudo or as root user is different???? | 15:15 |
| bazhang | yes | 15:16 |
| bazhang | dont enable the root account | 15:16 |
| bazhang | sudo -i for a root shell, if you must | 15:17 |
| bazhang | glad you got it working, to a degree | 15:17 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | yea I have switched back. But any link to see the difference. Thankyou all for your help and time!!!! | 15:17 |
| bazhang | :) | 15:18 |

| derpingit1 | hi guys | 18:20 |
| derpingit1 | i'm trying to create a generation 2 vm on hyperv and install xubuntu, but i am unable to boot to the iso. can someone enlighten me ? | 18:21 |
| derpingit1 | it is my understanding that ubuntu (regular ed) can be setup using gen 2 | 18:21 |
| derpingit1 | is this an xubuntu thing? | 18:21 |
| holstein | derpingit1: not sure.. *if* "regular" ubuntu is working, you can convert to xubuntu.. also, there are mini isos | 18:23 |
| holstein | !mini | 18:23 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 18:23 |
| holstein | you can use them to more quickly/easily see if you can get an installation, and then add what is needed post install | 18:23 |
| derpingit1 | well i'm not getting that far.. the vm doesn't boot at all | 18:23 |
| derpingit1 | from cd. that is | 18:24 |
| holstein | cool.. the mini iso is a *different*, very small image you can try | 18:24 |
| holstein | from cd or whatever you are using.. | 18:24 |
| holstein | its like 30 mb's.. AFAIK | 18:24 |
| derpingit1 | well holstein .. when you;re right, you're right | 18:33 |
| derpingit1 | mini works :) | 18:33 |
| holstein | cool.. i know its no "elegant", but, you can use that iso as the base, and add what you need afterwards.. | 18:34 |
| holstein | xfce4 or xubuntu-desktop for example | 18:34 |
| holstein | xubuntu-desktop really should pull in all you need | 18:34 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop ..though, you may want something lighter.. | 18:35 |
| derpingit1 | lighter than xubuntu ? | 18:35 |
| holstein | right.. i dont know what your needs are.. | 18:36 |
| derpingit1 | yeah mang. i'm a super novice. i actually just want to try linux for the first time. thnanks for the heads up :) | 18:36 |
| bazhang | lubuntu-desktop for lighter | 18:36 |
| holstein | or, just the parts you need/want.. like openbox, or whatever | 18:36 |
| derpingit1 | it's gonna be a vm for browsing the web and such. just need audio/video plugins flash, and i'm set | 18:37 |
| derpingit1 | oh yeah, and openvpn for sure | 18:37 |
| derpingit1 | :D | 18:37 |
| holstein | !vpn | 18:37 |
| ubottu | For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN | 18:37 |
| holstein | !flash | 18:37 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 18:37 |
| derpingit1 | great | 18:37 |
| holstein | !restricted | 18:37 |

| holstein | somewhere in there ^ | 18:37 |
| derpingit1 | i want the desktop to look kinda nice tho.. not super stripped down. | 18:38 |
| derpingit1 | thanks, holstein | 18:38 |
| holstein | "nice" is always a matter of opinion.. | 18:38 |
| holstein | xubuntu-desktop will get you xubuntu.. | 18:38 |

| z_beeblebrox | Hi Guys, does anyone know if there is an Xubuntu version suitable for running a server from? | 19:21 |
| Skald_9_ | every | 19:21 |
| pmjdebruijn | z_beeblebrox: that's an odd questions, typically on a server there's no GUI to begin with | 19:22 |
| pmjdebruijn | so all the ubuntu flavors don't make much sense | 19:22 |
| Skald_9_ | depends on the kind of server | 19:23 |
| pmjdebruijn | well | 19:23 |
| Skald_9_ | media servers usually have a DE | 19:23 |
| pmjdebruijn | urgh | 19:23 |
| Skald_9_ | home media servers | 19:23 |
| pmjdebruijn | sounds dubious | 19:24 |
| Skald_9_ | well al depends on the user | 19:24 |
| Skald_9_ | and yes I was talking about a GUI DE in one form or another | 19:26 |
| pmjdebruijn | I guess very unskilled users might run a DE on a server | 19:27 |
| derpingit1 | ok . so i ran into a problem... i cannot set my screen resolution to 1920x1200 | 19:44 |
| derpingit1 | tried modifying grub, but the highest i can go is 1680x1050 | 19:46 |
| derpingit1 | should i call it a win and let it go? | 19:51 |
| pmjdebruijn | derpingit1: VGA? DVI? HDMI? | 19:51 |
| derpingit1 | running on a hyper-v vm | 19:52 |
| derpingit1 | monitor is dvi | 19:52 |
| pmjdebruijn | hyperv? | 19:52 |
| pmjdebruijn | heh | 19:52 |
| derpingit1 | i know :) | 19:52 |
| pmjdebruijn | derpingit1: anyhow, presumably video memory might be limiting the resolution | 19:53 |
| derpingit1 | ah ok .. maybe i'll take a look at the bios | 19:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | you might need to change that in the VM config | 19:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | not sure about the particulars of HyperV | 19:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | which xorg driver is being used? vesa? | 19:53 |
| derpingit1 | how do i check that | 19:54 |
| derpingit1 | (noob here) | 19:54 |
| derpingit1 | i did have to change grub in order to get this far tho, so i can do some work if required | 19:54 |
| pmjdebruijn | cat /var/log/Xorg.log | 19:54 |
| pmjdebruijn | I guess | 19:54 |
| htqp | yes, look for LoadModule. Alternatively issue inxi -G | 19:55 |
| pmjdebruijn | https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/19f32070-46c7-4dec-8824-9942f7fc5a2c/hyperv-and-display-resolution | 19:56 |
| pmjdebruijn | that would suggest HyperV can't increase video mem | 19:56 |
| pmjdebruijn | why doesn't that surprise me | 19:56 |
| pmjdebruijn | presumably HyperV isn't intended as a workstation product in the first place | 19:57 |
| derpingit1 | ok i'll let it go. this works well enough | 19:57 |
| derpingit1 | thanks, | 19:57 |
| derpingit1 | :D | 19:57 |
| pmjdebruijn | I read HyperV also misses audio | 19:58 |
| derpingit1 | ah man. that's a deal breaker :/ | 19:59 |
| pmjdebruijn | I guess you need to use proper virtualization, not HyperV | 20:00 |
| derpingit1 | i gotta work with what i have :/ | 20:00 |
| derpingit1 | thanks :) | 20:00 |
| pmjdebruijn | huh? | 20:00 |
| pmjdebruijn | VirtualBox is free, and has it's fair share of fanboys | 20:00 |
| * pmjdebruijn hasn't used that in years though | 20:01 | |
| derpingit1 | what i mean is, i have a server with hyper-v role installed. this si were i'm running this linux box from . | 20:01 |
| derpingit1 | that server runs a lot of other things, so i gotta make it work with what i have | 20:01 |
| pmjdebruijn | heh | 20:02 |
| pmjdebruijn | ok | 20:02 |
| derpingit1 | brb | 20:02 |

| Morrog | Everything alright here? | 20:57 |
| genii | GeekDude: Cool. | 20:58 |
| Morrog | I've been fiddling with starting xubuntu (14.04) through startxfce4. I've noticed that it then loads the xfce session, and not the xubuntu one. I can get over the fact that some theme-related things are different. But the settings manager has way fewer items in it in the xfce session than in the xubuntu one. | 21:00 |
| Morrog | Why are there two? Why can't I start the xubuntu session from CLI? | 21:01 |
| eikon81g | How come there is an error when you try to install NTP support in the time settings? Just wondering, I was going to do it but it shot me to a bug report prompt | 21:07 |
| drc | eikon81g: Whatever it was (and it's been there for a long time), it's fixed in 15.04. | 21:09 |
| eikon81g | gotcha.. Idk if I am ready to jump to 15.04.. are you running it? Thanks btw :P | 21:09 |
| drc | yes, for now :) | 21:10 |
| drc | BTW, you can install ntp thru USC and all is forgiven. | 21:10 |
| eikon81g | cool any notable changes (that a noob would notice) lol | 21:10 |
| drc | yeah, ntp is installed thru the Date/Time :) | 21:11 |
| eikon81g | I was thinking about going that route but my time stays correct from what I can tell so whatev. LOLLL nice drc | 21:11 |
| drc | Not much visual change (that I see)...updated apps and bug fixes. | 21:11 |
| eikon81g | do you run cairo or docky? | 21:13 |
| drc | nope | 21:13 |
| eikon81g | Ok i had a small bug with docky that was fixed with a config change.. or some such. I found something about others having a similar issue and followed their fix.. it was happening on sleep / wake the program was not re-launching. | 21:14 |
| eikon81g | well your assistance is greatly appreciated :) I have to get to some other junk here at the house.. ttyl | 21:15 |
| derpingit | hi guys | 21:17 |
| xubuntu35w | Hi there, need help fort my 1st time with Xubuntu. I've installed v14.10 32b on a USB key with linux live USB creator (Lili) ans enabled persistance. Now, i'm trying to login but I can't figure out thé needed username ans password.... any idea? | 21:42 |
| eikon81g | did you set one up during the install? | 21:44 |
| eikon81g | I was prompted in the installer to set one.. | 21:45 |
| eikon81g | are you running live off the usb? or did you physically install it? | 21:45 |
| xubuntu35w | no install, running live, the for your help. | 21:46 |
| eikon81g | yea, np.. | 21:47 |
| eikon81g | humm running live I don't recall if I had a username set up I thought it logged straight in.. | 21:47 |
| eikon81g | can you just hit like "login" or whatever? | 21:47 |
| xubuntu35w | that's what I expected as well | 21:48 |
| eikon81g | I doubt the u/n: root would log you in without a password, you would have to set that p/w from a sudo command first | 21:48 |
| xubuntu35w | I have tried all the obvious login ... | 21:49 |
| eikon81g | man I wish I had more info on that.. the live usb I used had no login / pw from what I remember.. | 21:49 |
| xubuntu35w | I have tried Ctrl ALT f2 but I can't do anything there (no sudo) | 21:50 |
| eikon81g | if it were me, I'd re-run the liveub install to the usb drive with a fresh iso and see if the same thing happens.. | 21:50 |
| drc | I've never used the app you used, but using dd and/or unetbootin I've never had to set a password (or been asked for one booting the LiveUSB) | 21:50 |
| eikon81g | ^^ he's much more knowledgeable than me.. lol go with his tips.. !! | 21:50 |
| eikon81g | thanks drc | 21:50 |
| drc | But then I very seldom make a persistence mode, but the times I did, I don't remember ever being asled for one. | 21:51 |
| xubuntu35w | took me 3 hours to DL the I so and the hash looked correct. | 21:51 |
| eikon81g | same here.. | 21:51 |
| drc | And if I'm "much more knowledgeable" we're all in big trouble. | 21:51 |
| eikon81g | I used a windows program to make my bootable usb, maybe just start with a diff. usb creator.. | 21:51 |
| eikon81g | LOL drc.. :P | 21:52 |
| eikon81g | well I gotta roll guys I'll bbl, thanks again drc | 21:52 |
| drc | xubuntu35w: I've never had to use a windows app, so maybe it need it...but 3 hours? that sounds like a very low DL. | 21:54 |
| xubuntu35w | hmmm, I'll first give a try w/o persistence. | 21:54 |
| xubuntu35w | yes very long, was much faster when I DL lubuntu. | 21:55 |
| xubuntu35w | thx for the advices. | 21:56 |
| qqqpq | Hello. I uninstall xfce/xubuntu, but I still get some sort of graphical login manager / dm? (I thought lightdm was an example of this type). How do I get rid of that and go straight into a terminal? | 22:02 |
| holstein | !text | 22:02 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 22:02 |
| qqqpq | You know your question is a good one when its answered with a macro | 22:03 |
| qqqpq | Thanks for the response and really good answer, I will implement this, but I am also interested in what exactly that login manager is, and how I might remove it or modify it. | 22:04 |
| WolfpupL | im still trying to get x11vnc server to work on a fresh install of XUbuntu and i can not seen to get it to autostart even with everything i have been trying | 22:06 |
| WolfpupL | n/m the last thing i just tried did the trick | 22:08 |
| WolfpupL | i hope | 22:08 |
| msev_ | why do I get a "blocked attempt" warning from Google when I try to update mail with xfce mail plugin? | 22:12 |
| msev_ | brb | 22:12 |
| xubuntu35w | pb solved after reinstall w/o persistence... | 22:14 |
| qqqpq | Hola. Anyone know why my Xubunut w/ i3wm has no problem playing sound in different applications, but Kerbal Space Program has no sound when launched? it works under xfce / xubuntu desktop | 22:56 |
| qqqpq | xubunut | 22:56 |
| qqqpq | I spent some time on this problem in Ubuntu and switched over, where it was fixed for a bit. Uninstalling xfce seemed to cause the game to not pick up the audio device any more, but other apps are fine. It's odd. | 22:58 |
| qqqpq | Pavucontrol seems to see my device well, but Alsamixer incorrectly reports it S/PDIF instead of HDMI and has no sliding action. | 23:05 |
| qqqpq | Hello. | 23:23 |
| ObrienDave | Greetings & Welcome | 23:25 |
| qqqpq | I'm having an audio issue. It's great :) | 23:25 |
| ObrienDave | okay, what kind of audio issue? | 23:30 |
| qqqpq | When I remove whatever desktop interface Xubuntu/Ubuntu comes with, like xfce/unity then my games suddenly stop picking up my HDMI device when launched for audio. | 23:31 |

| qqqpq | I'm on it | 23:36 |
