[00:00] and i needed quotes because directory has a space in it. [00:02] very nice, icon was easy to find [00:02] now i have a shortcut directly to the virtualbox [04:14] Hey guys, I'm having trouble setting up sound via HDMI [04:15] I just installed Xubuntu 15.04 and I have my laptop connected to a display via HDMI. During the live session (while I was installing the OS) sound worked fine, but after installing Xubuntu and rebooting the laptop, sound didn't work anymore in my display. [04:15] This is the output of aplay -l: [04:16] **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC3234 Analog [ALC3234 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [04:16] no sound? or, sound from HDMI doesnt work? [04:18] The sound works through my laptop speakers [04:18] But not in my HDMI monitor [04:19] the difference, as i read, is that you took updates during the install, and an update could be breaking the hdmi audio out [04:19] i would install pavucontrol, and check routing manually [04:19] make sure soemthing you *know* is playing in the laptop speakers is routed to hdmi [04:20] I didn't select the option to install updates during install, and the HDMI monitor does not show up in pavucontrol [04:21] tetamusha: if you didnt, then i may go the other way with it, and see that you *do* have all updates applied, and reboot [04:22] alright, gimme a few minutes then [04:25] estou instalando o xubuntu em uma maquina antiga e com uma internet ruim e a instalação parou na seguinte mensagem a cerga de 3 minutos e nao sai dai [04:25] !es | xubuntu738 [04:25] xubuntu738: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[04:26] ok tanks [04:47] I am installing xubuntu in an old PC and a slow internet. at a certain point on the screen inatalação stopped in the following process : xubuntu dhclient : bound to 192.168.42.130 - renewal in 1638 secunds [04:47] xubuntu565, install without the internet connection then reboot [04:48] yeah.. i dont connect when im installing.. i do updates *after* the install [04:51] thanks for the help guys [04:51] :) [05:06] Hey, I'm back. [05:07] Just updated everything, but I still can't see my HDMI display in pavucontrol or `aplay -l` [06:20] if I run to change the theme for root [06:20] root@xubuntu:~# xfce4-appearance-settings [06:21] click on any theme it wont change [06:22] using this seems to work [06:22] root@xubuntu:~# gtk-theme-switch2 [06:23] clicking apply in gtk-theme-switch2 the screen flashs all the apps reset and get an error [06:24] its /usr/bin/xfwm4 has crashed [06:26] the theme does switch using this method [06:26] crashing some open apps in the process [06:58] can someone help me play DVDs clearly i am an idiot [06:58] vlc media player? [06:58] works best [06:58] or install the restricted extras package [06:59] I forget the exact name [07:00] i have done these things [07:00] oh wait maybe I haven't installed vlc [07:00] lol [07:00] vlc <3 [07:00] !dvd [07:00] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:01] I mean, shouldn't it work on Totem or xine? [07:01] just install vlc it plays near everything [07:01] k [07:01] and whats more vlc is awesome [07:01] Yes, sir [07:02] I know it as the Traffic Cone player [07:02] yes [07:02] thats the one [07:02] I like traffic cones [07:02] videolan.org [07:02] so we're on the right track [07:02] they even have a channel on freenode /join #videolan [07:03] ubottu is an amusing name. [07:03] ornj: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:03] More than some people, ubottu [07:04] I'm sure Watson could give you a run for your money, though [07:05] danger dear Watson [07:05] trouble is a foot [07:05] we must move quickly [07:05] OK [07:05] I did my due diligence [07:05] VLC doesn't work, either. [07:05] installed vlc? [07:06] wait what? [07:06] does not open or play your dvd? [07:06] does not open your install is broken [07:06] play your dvd check the logs? [07:07] !dvd [07:07] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:07] press CTRL-M to open the log file [07:07] for vlc [07:07] Does not play DVD. [07:07] also xangua no need to repeat that [07:07] Gave me same thing that, now, I remember xine and Totem did (I gave up on this project a couple wks back before coming back to it) [07:08] where it would, like, spin up the disk, start to play, then stop; counter would go blank [07:08] try a seperate dvd ? [07:08] and IIRC it would bring up the first frame of the disc for a split second in one of those other players. [07:08] Yes; regardless of title. [07:08] Which logs? [07:08] as xangua has reposted you may need to install the restricted extras package [07:09] using software center or apt-get install [07:09] sight... [07:10] Also verified regionset, which had been suggested to me before [07:10] So merely installing libdvdread4 isn't enough? [07:10] now if xangua has a ! command to fix my issue [07:10] how about both you take some time to read what the bot actually suggest¿ [07:11] would start singing and dancing [07:11] ornj: yes, it's not enought. Did you run the script? [07:11] but oh no its never a good idea to run apps as root let alone theme them [07:11] Thank you, xangua, but if you'd read me, you'd know that the first thing I'd said was that I've already been to the wiki and read it over, several times. [07:12] ornj: did you run the script after installing libdvdread4¿ [07:12] ornj: this sounds like a lot of work [07:13] ornj: on a fresh clean install of xubuntu 14.04 I could play dvd with vlc [07:13] And what if I do not want e.g. Microsoft fonts? [07:13] no, you can't [07:14] worked for me [07:14] And, yes, I have run the script. [07:15] Ah - restarted VLC - seems to be working [07:15] oh [07:15] Thank you, xangua <3 [07:15] good [07:16] any changes you make you need to restart vlc [07:16] I should be more awake when I troubleshoot this stuff :7 [07:16] Yes [07:16] its vlc 101 [07:16] That was obvious, but hadn't occurred to me. [07:16] 3:16am for me [07:16] That is why I prefaced everything by warning I'm an idiot. [07:16] I am wide awake [07:16] Yeah [07:16] well, I was wide awake at 3:16 am last night, too [07:17] and then I was woke up at like 9 something [07:17] with 12 of my terminal windows broken [07:17] after being up much later than that [07:17] and so I am kind of wrecked. [07:17] Sorry to hear that, mate. [07:17] because I tried to change the theme for the root user [07:17] root@xubuntu:~# gtk-theme-switch2 [07:17] OOOH :7 [07:17] It's root's job to be boring [07:17] hitting apply caused xfwm4 to crash [07:17] that's what root is [07:17] Bossome [07:18] Note to self: Don't do that [07:18] and 1/2 my windows to break [07:18] like the title bar still shows [07:18] but the window content is all white [07:18] NICE [07:18] Snow Crash [07:18] ya [07:18] .\m/ [07:19] Xubuntu = xfce but 1/2 my apps are gnome [07:19] and use gtk2 gtk3 [07:19] gnome was awesome until they went derp [07:19] with unity [07:19] so I removed unity and install xfce [07:20] been a nightmare ever since [07:20] DJJeff, of course. unity is very well integrated in ubuntu. don't like, install xubuntu instead. removing unity = break ubuntu [07:20] Xubuntu is just ubuntu with Xfce [07:21] already know this [07:21] DJJeff, I KNOW that. but removing unity from ubuntu will break things. [07:21] (Good to know, cfh, thanks) [07:22] even gtk related things? [07:22] like themes? [07:22] which was my issue [07:22] *shrugs* [07:22] there were this pureubuntu, purexubuntu, purekubuntu post but they are outdated [07:23] xangua, very much outdated. also: to my knowledge no one has written a definitive (remove unity) tutorial that doesn't break things. [07:24] lol [07:29] Thanks again, xangua. :) [07:30] lol [07:30] yes I did not help at all [07:30] suggesting vlc and all [07:31] * DJJeff gives ornj the finger [07:31] next time you can focus on the problem instead of suggesting your favorite software ;) [07:31] internet doesnt' work¿ install google chrome! :P [07:33] why chrome [07:33] why not firefox [07:34] lol [07:34] chrome is not even open source [07:34] chromuim is [07:53] I just bought a 500GB SSD I have ubuntu + xfce on my 1TB HDD [07:53] trying to decide how I should install and setup my SSD [08:07] oh I get it now [08:07] changing the theme for root [08:07] caused root xfwm4 to crash [08:07] which is why the few terminal windows running as root are all messed [08:08] odd that zenmap and wireshark did not mess up [08:08] I could not really reproduce this issue in a fresh copy in a VM [08:10] oh wait yes I can [08:11] even changing the theme for a normal user using gtk-theme-switch2 causes xfwm4 to crash [12:51] I have problem with light-locker and dm-tool. If I don't enable light-locker, I can not use dm-tool to run guest session safely. If I use light-locker, command "xflock4 && xfce4-session-logout -s" fails sometimes, as the latter command requires authorization sometimes. This is in ubuntu-studio 14.04. [14:59] https://i.imgur.com/t6NSFzr.png [15:00] Is anyone else getting this issue with Google Chrome's window icon? [15:13] oiu: everyone who is using chrome 43 [15:13] should be fixed in 44 [15:13] brainwash: I see. Thanks. [18:02] oiu, yes I am too [19:15] ... [19:16] hello [19:16] hello [19:18] i just reinstalled ubuntu 14 and installed then xubuntu but this time it looks strangly old. with that black curvy mouse instead the triangle one. I can not find a solution online why that is [19:19] did you run the xubuntu session, not the xfce one? [19:20] yes [19:20] how did you install xubuntu? [19:20] from dvd, erase full harddrive [19:21] so you didn't install ubuntu and then xubuntu on top of it, but just xubuntu? [19:22] ah sorry, mistake. no. i installed ubuntu 14 fresh and new and installed i(or on top) xubuntu by terminal [19:22] how? [19:22] (btw, there is no "ubuntu 14", it's either 14.04 or 14.10) [19:22] .04 [19:23] with this command: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [19:26] then restart and I got that ugly old looking xubuntu. do not know why I not have the new nice look [19:27] change the theme¿ [19:28] how do i do that? [19:28] .... strange is, that I installed it the same way a half year ago and got a totally different result [19:29] please upload a screenshot, so that we know what you are talking about [19:29] with a very unfunctional whiskers menu ... [19:29] alright [19:29] open your xfce settings¿ [19:33] it looks like this: [19:33] https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3xSTr2gkxtqMUVvZkY2N3FYVEE/view?usp=sharing [19:34] but should look like this: [19:34] http://distrowatch.com/images/cgfjoewdlbc/xubuntu.png [19:34] so make it look like that [19:35] there comes the problem. i do not know how. last time it was already like that [19:35] xubuntu40w, that looks like you are running the xfce session [19:36] but it is the xubuntu session [19:36] i tired both [19:36] if you create a new user and run the xubuntu session, what happens? [19:37] right clic, add whisker menu [19:37] you have to remove ~/.config/xfce4 and then relog into the xubuntu session [19:39] ok, I try that [19:39] should i remove the whole folder? [19:40] or just add the whisker menu... [19:40] yes, renaming it works too [19:41] or play with it and configure it as you like [19:41] xangua: no, the wants the default xubuntu panel/desktop/etc setup [19:41] xangua, that isn't the complete solution [19:41] he wants [19:41] obviously reseting the config...on a 14.04 install...won't bring the 15.04 settings [19:42] xangua, nobody said anything about 15.04 settings [19:42] i'm confused where you picked that one up [19:42] come one, he showed us a picture....of the default 15.04 appearence and he just wants to make it look like that [19:43] that images comes close to what I had before. or does only 15.04 looks like that? [19:43] xubuntu40w, which xubuntu version were you running before? [19:43] you can make it look like that, you can make it look like you want [19:45] i ran on ubuntu 14.04 sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop the first time and got the desired appearance. did the same now with a different result [19:45] xubuntu40w, then do what brainwash_ suggested [19:45] :/ [19:45] or you can do what xangua suggested, but it's a lot more work [19:45] oh come one [19:46] and might not easily give you the results you actually want [19:46] alright, I try that and might, but hopefully not, come back here. [19:46] big thanks already for your help [19:46] xangua, the default settings are more than just the panel configuration [19:47] 14.04 came with a second tiny panel, 15.04 came with whisker menu and just one panel, 10.04 came looking just like gnome did with two wide panels [19:48] xangua, ...and a lot more configuration [19:48] aggg [19:48] xangua: For that matter: http://xubuntu.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1404_whisker.png [19:50] hi, can 15.04 get noexec set for automounted vfat drives? 12.04 was fine, now my text files are executable when take from a flash. [19:52] that was it. now I got the desired look. big thanks for your help [19:54] that was it. deleting the folder brought me the desired look. big thanks to you guys [19:55] xubuntu60w, great to hear; enjoy [21:28] hello [21:28] i want to join a french irc chat [21:28] about xubuntu [21:29] can you tell me wich irc chat i can connect ? [21:29] thank you [21:29] !fr | xubuntu65w [21:29] xubuntu65w: Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [21:29] ok, thx [21:29] (there is no specific french xubuntu channel, but they should be able to help with xubuntu too) [21:30] ok. [23:04] I have a question regarding xscreensaver, a standard package on this distribution. [23:05] yup.. ask, and a volunteer may assist.. [23:05] !info light-locker [23:05] light-locker (source: light-locker): simple screen locker for lightDM display manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.0-0ubuntu2 (vivid), package size 65 kB, installed size 1024 kB [23:06] I'd use that instead j_charron [23:06] Well, I had hoped to use the bsod screensaver. Unfortunately, it's not selectable. It's listed there, and I'm kind of confused as to why I can't actually use it. [23:06] I'll check that one out [23:15] so if I download the source off his website and extract the shizzle [23:16] j_charron, then you should ask for support from the author [23:17] they may provide a simple .deb file or offer a PPA already for ubuntu [23:19] how does someone compile a c file? [23:19] makepkg? [23:19] makefile? [23:19] gah this is all so new [23:19] sounds like you are taking on a huge task just to get... a new screensaver [23:20] the answer is: depends on the build system the author is using [23:31] oiu, Chrome Version 43.0.2357.81 (64-bit) [23:31] oiu, the icon is back [23:56] solution found! [23:56] apparently it is a readily available package. xscreensaver-screensaver-bsod
