|---|---|---|
| nomic | controls sound v well .. | 00:11 |
| RJ45 | ObrienDave: I'm really not sure, it's just the default Volume Control settings that come with Xubuntu | 00:15 |
| RJ45 | yeah I think it's alsamixer | 00:15 |
| knome | alsamixer is a terminal app | 00:16 |
| RJ45 | oh right, so it is | 00:16 |
| RJ45 | what's the stock one that comes with Xubuntu? Pulse-something? | 00:16 |
| knome | pavucontrol or pulseaudio volume control | 00:16 |
| RJ45 | probably that, yep | 00:17 |
| RJ45 | any ideas why the sound level indicators aren't working?, should I try downgrading the package? | 00:18 |
| RJ45 | ..sure the application sound level indicators arn't 'essential' to hear sound, but I would like them working, they're useful for troubleshooting sound devices | 00:39 |
| xubuntu35w | Hello all, I was wondering if it's possible under Xubuntu to 'lock' the desktop icons in place? Mine seem to shuffle around between reboots/rearranging them. Its fairly minor but I like to arrange mine in a certain order. | 02:05 |
| xubuntu35w | While I'm at it, I haven't had much success with getting the keyboard backlight and function keys to work on this Asus F550ZE. Is there any resource someone could point out? I've read a few snippets relating to the /sys devices section but I suspect this laptop might not be supported yet. | 02:07 |
| xubuntu86w | hello | 02:11 |
| xubuntu86w | could anybode help me to boot xubuntu only in console mode? | 02:12 |
| xubuntu86w | when I try to boot xubuntu with graphical iunterface it frezees so I want to start xubuntu with console mode only | 02:13 |
| xubuntu35w | you could try using CTRL-ALT-F1 to see if it switches to another virtual console, or add 'single' to the kernel command line via grub? I think the recovery mode option will also boot to only text mode if that is an option | 02:13 |
| xubuntu86w | I prefer from the grub | 02:14 |
| xubuntu86w | can I modify the grub directly? | 02:14 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu86w, of course. | 02:15 |
| xubuntu35w | you can do it as a one-off I believe, or modify /boot/grub/grub.cfg i think | 02:15 |
| cfhowlett | !grub | xubuntu86w | 02:15 |
| ubottu | xubuntu86w: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 02:15 |
| xubuntu86w | I read that I cant add a line editing the grub with ctrl + e | 02:19 |
| xubuntu35w | if you've got a 'live' CD handy of some kind you can use that to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg. | 02:23 |
| xubuntu35w | athough the (e)dit option should work too | 02:24 |
| === SonikkuAmerica is now known as systemd-220 | ||
| xubuntu86w | yes so throught the edit option what I need to modify | 02:35 |
| xubuntu86w | to boot on console mode? | 02:35 |
| xubuntu35w | at the end of the 'kernel' line, add a space then the letter 'S' or 'Single' | 02:37 |
| xubuntu35w | that'll boot into single user mode without X11 and you can fix things up a bit | 02:37 |
| xubuntu86w | thank you | 02:41 |
| xubuntu86w | !!!! | 02:41 |

| Reptilia | How do i make Xubuntu "remember" the brightness level settings i have made? On every new boot i have to reduce the brightness, since it does not remember my setup. Also, i can't find a GUI for setting brightness levels. | 09:06 |
| nomic | i just reduce it | 10:03 |
| nomic | isn't prob. | 10:03 |
| nomic | saw something on web that there is a way to have them set | 10:03 |
| sheldonh | when i press Ctrl-Alt-L to lock screen on xubuntu 15.04, the screen goes white. if i click, i see the expected, beautiful lock screen. how can i make it go straight to the lock screen, skipping the disturbing white screen? | 11:05 |
| sheldonh | ah. my problem with ugly white lock screen is a known issue: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#White_screen_after_upgrading_the_GTK_greeter_to_2.0.0 | 11:47 |

| xubuntu64w | I have a 2006 MacBook Pro that has been running ubuntu for a while. I had to change the video driver to "nomodeset" in grub to get it to boot. All has been fine until the most recent update. Now it won't boot. After the update I had to switch back to the "nomodeset" setting and got video to return but now it pauses on the "ubuntu" screen with the spinning circle (which stopped animating). Any suggestions? Thanks | 13:19 |

| xubuntu80w | Hello is anybody here? | 16:10 |
| genii | xubuntu80w: Better to just ask whatever question you need help with to the channel in general, and then see if someone knows an answer | 16:11 |
| xubuntu80w | When i launch a program there is no notification that program is loading. Spinning circle appears only if i move my mouse over the top xfce panel | 16:12 |
| xubuntu80w | if it's on the desktop or a already open window spinning circle dissapears | 16:12 |
| xubuntu80w | it looks like that it affects only me. I looked on youtube and for others it works fine | 16:13 |
| xubuntu80w | it's a bit annoying because you don't know if you clicked that program or not | 16:13 |
| xubuntu80w | when there is no indication if it's launched | 16:13 |
| ibouvousaime | Hi, | 16:43 |
| ibouvousaime | I was wondering if there is any program for linux that can measure an angle of an image on the desktop such as MB-Ruler for windows. Anybody can help me with this? | 16:43 |
| ibouvousaime | Thanks | 16:43 |

| genii | !info screenruler | 16:53 |
| ubottu | screenruler (source: screenruler): measure objects on screen with a variety of metrics. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.960+bzr41-1.2 (vivid), package size 18 kB, installed size 157 kB | 16:53 |
| genii | That's probably the closest equivalent in *buntu | 16:53 |
| ibouvousaime | can it measure angles too ? | 17:09 |
| genii | No idea, never used it | 17:10 |
| ibouvousaime | it doest seem to have that feature but thanks guys this can still be useful for me | 17:11 |
| RJ45 | After upgrading to 14.04, in the Sound Settings (pavucontrol), none of the sound level indicators are working (blue strips that bounce with sound), how do I fix this? | 18:14 |

| xubuntu13w | Hi ! | 20:38 |
| xubuntu13w | I have a question about Xubuntu | 20:38 |
| xubuntu13w | nd I'm a beginner... | 20:38 |
| xubuntu13w | so sorry if I ask stupid questions.. | 20:38 |
| xubuntu13w | how to set p the workspaces in Xubuntu? | 20:39 |
| xubuntu13w | set up.. | 20:40 |
| xubuntu13w | anybody here?? | 20:50 |
| brainwash_ | yes | 20:51 |
| brainwash_ | try Settings Manager > Workspaces | 20:51 |
| xubuntu13w | i did | 20:52 |
| xubuntu13w | but my problem is that if I put an application in 1 workspace | 20:53 |
| xubuntu13w | when I will click on another workspace the application will be there | 20:53 |
| brainwash_ | then you should describe your problem in more detail | 20:53 |
| xubuntu13w | what I dont want.. | 20:53 |
| xubuntu13w | ok.. sorry... | 20:54 |
| xubuntu13w | so my problem is that an application which is in workspace 1 will also appear if I change the workspace | 20:55 |
| brainwash_ | the application? any or a particular one? | 20:55 |
| xubuntu13w | any applications... | 20:55 |
| xubuntu13w | for example... if I pt thunderbird in workspace (W1) | 20:56 |
| xubuntu13w | and if I click on W2 thunderbird will be in W2 | 20:57 |
| brainwash_ | right click on the title bar and check if the app is set to be visible in all workspaces | 20:58 |
| xubuntu13w | yes it is | 21:00 |
| xubuntu13w | s I should uncheck it I suppose | 21:01 |
| brainwash_ | maybe there is a setting to enable this behavior, it should be disabled by default though | 21:02 |
| brainwash_ | check settings manager > window manager (tweaks) | 21:03 |
| xubuntu13w | ok | 21:03 |
| xubuntu13w | thanks | 21:04 |
| brainwash_ | you're welcome :) | 21:05 |
| xubuntu13w | now I have another problem | 21:08 |
| xubuntu13w | with the workspace | 21:08 |
| xubuntu13w | they dont appear anymore | 21:08 |
| xubuntu13w | :( | 21:08 |
| xubuntu13w | I have the workspace icon on my panel | 21:09 |
| xubuntu13w | and when I click on it nothing happens | 21:10 |
| xubuntu13w | just a window showing me how many workspaces I have | 21:10 |
| xubuntu69w | Hi guys, | 21:45 |
| xubuntu69w | can anybody help me with encryption? | 21:45 |
| xubuntu69w | i will like some informations.. | 21:45 |
| xubuntu69w | I have a laptop with 1 hard drive and 2 partitions... | 21:46 |
| xubuntu69w | 1 partition for windows 8.1 and the other one for Xubuntu | 21:46 |
| xubuntu69w | if I wanted to encrypt the hard drive... how to di it? | 21:47 |
| xubuntu69w | any idea? | 21:47 |
| nomic | there is an option to encrypt the filing system when you install ubuntu | 21:49 |
| nomic | filing system can be either encrypted or unencrypted | 21:49 |
| xubuntu69w | yes and I didnt choose it at the beginning... | 21:49 |
| nomic | all I know is that you can set it up on install - not sure how thereafter | 21:49 |
| xubuntu69w | which solution do I have now? | 21:49 |
| nomic | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto | 21:51 |
| xubuntu69w | If I had chosen the option to encrypt the hard drive when installing xubuntu, it meant only the xubuntu partition would have been encrypted? | 21:51 |
| nomic | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto | 21:51 |
| xubuntu69w | thanks nomic.. | 21:51 |
| nomic | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystems | 21:51 |
| nomic | you are going to have to read up about it - better if you read up on it -- understand yourself | 21:52 |
| nomic | there is also http://ubuntuforums.org/ this place isn't so busy .. if you create an account you can leave messages overnight - they are always attended to .. ensure you post to the correct section of the forum | 21:53 |
| nomic | so if you have a problem that you haven't resolved in the day .. before you retire, post a message asking. | 21:53 |
| xubuntu69w | ok | 21:54 |
| xubuntu69w | I will do it | 21:54 |
| xubuntu69w | I already read these links in the past | 21:54 |
| xubuntu69w | and it is not very clear in the case of a laptop with windows 8.1 alongside Xubuntu installed.. | 21:55 |
| xubuntu69w | thanks a lot guys ! | 21:58 |
