| christo_m | is it possible to get the media keys to work in lubuntu, specifcially the volume and mute keys? | 17:04 |
| christo_m | i checked xev and they are in fact registering to the correct XF86Audio keys | 17:04 |
| bioterror | christo_m, xbindkeys | 17:12 |
| christo_m | bioterror: ok.. then what | 17:13 |
| christo_m | i have it installed and created a default xbindkeysrc in home | 17:13 |
| bioterror | http://pastebin.com/kxJFCmhV | 17:15 |
| bioterror | something like that | 17:15 |
| christo_m | bioterror: do i have to restart xserver or something or? | 17:18 |
| bioterror | just load the xbindkeys and add that command to your openbox's startup | 17:18 |
| christo_m | bioterror: well i put that in .xbindkeysrc | 17:18 |
| christo_m | how do i add it to openbox startup? | 17:18 |
| bioterror | does the ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart still exist? | 17:23 |
| christo_m | bioterror: oh yes its there | 17:23 |
| vikingredwolf | christo_m, LXSession configuration tool. with a GUI :) | 17:24 |
| vikingredwolf | Preferences > Default applications for LXSession | 17:24 |
| christo_m | oh im fine with appending a console command to this file. | 17:24 |
| christo_m | im not that much of a pleb | 17:24 |
| christo_m | i just dont know what said command is. | 17:24 |
| vikingredwolf | :D I'm lazy, so I use it: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l2wvHOAKmJw/U1E_OSLuuNI/AAAAAAAASXo/mJZ7guQyMAU/s1600/lubuntu-add-nmapplet-startup.png | 17:24 |
| christo_m | i actually find it more difficult and cumbersome to drill through GUI menus ( | 17:25 |
| christo_m | :(* | 17:25 |
| vikingredwolf | that's the good thing of Linux, you can do whatever you want :) | 17:25 |
| christo_m | bioterror: ? | 17:27 |
| bioterror | what? | 17:27 |
| christo_m | bioterror: what am i adding to that file | 17:27 |
| bioterror | "xbindkeys &" if I recall right | 17:29 |
| bioterror | or did it require & | 17:29 |
| bioterror | http://www.perfectlyrandom.org/2014/03/30/making-programsscripts-start-automatically-in-lubuntu-13-10/ | 17:29 |
| bioterror | says it doesnt? | 17:29 |
| christo_m | i just ran xbindkeys manually in terminal | 17:30 |
| christo_m | and tried the shortcuts.. didnt work | 17:30 |
| bioterror | well, then you have different keys for that | 17:30 |
| bioterror | just a second | 17:30 |
| bioterror | xbindkeys -k | 17:31 |
| bioterror | that command tells you the correct information | 17:31 |
| christo_m | bioterror: i just hit mute for example. | 17:33 |
| christo_m | its exactly like yours , character code 121.. | 17:33 |
| christo_m | bioterror: lower and raise is the same also.. | 17:33 |
| wxl | christo_m: you migght want to use xev to be sure that's the character code that key is passing | 17:34 |
| christo_m | wxl: ive used xev to check as well | 17:36 |
| christo_m | the character codes are correct | 17:36 |
| christo_m | bioterror, wxl any ideas? | 17:40 |
| bioterror | actually no, becouse that's how I fixed that on few laptops with i3-wm | 17:42 |
| christo_m | uhh | 17:46 |
| christo_m | ok , gg i guess | 17:46 |
| CooloutAC | so how do I get the mixer setting for the sound controls in lubuntu? | 19:23 |
| CooloutAC | when i right click and hit sound options, it just opens up a blank terminal | 19:23 |
| ianorlin | CooloutAC, argh that is a bug I reported | 19:26 |
| ianorlin | I think you could make a desktop shortcut to open alsamixer | 19:26 |
| ianorlin | from the menu | 19:26 |
| CooloutAC | does lubuntu use puluseaudio? | 19:26 |
| ianorlin | or use a drop down terminal with alsamixer | 19:26 |
| ianorlin | not out of the box | 19:26 |
| ianorlin | you can install it if you want | 19:26 |
| CooloutAC | ok | 19:26 |
| ianorlin | or stuff might pull it in | 19:26 |
| CooloutAC | i kind of like it only cause it lets me change volume for diff running apps | 19:26 |
| ianorlin | if you install pavucontrol it will use that as mixer from applet | 19:27 |
| CooloutAC | ok | 19:27 |
| ianorlin | on the oldest of the old machines it can cause more overhead I have heard | 19:27 |
| CooloutAC | well I think fedora lxde had it installed by default it was ok | 19:27 |
| CooloutAC | i also wanted options cause usually you can make volume go past 100% and make it louder | 19:28 |
| CooloutAC | but so far it hasn't been a huge issue | 19:28 |
| CooloutAC | i'll wait till if i absolutely must have it | 19:29 |
| CooloutAC | where can i go and post about your bug? | 19:29 |
| ianorlin | CooloutAC, or watching videos from tech confrences on youtube where the sounds is so quiet it is hard hear what they are saying | 19:30 |
| CooloutAC | ianorlin: yes exactly | 19:30 |
| ianorlin | bug 1434774 | 19:30 |
| ubottu | bug 1434774 in lxpanel (Ubuntu) "lxpanel volume applet settings opens empty terminal window" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1434774 | 19:30 |
| CooloutAC | those are two reasons i wanted it, one is to control volume of diff apps running at same time, the other is to make volume go pats 100% louder | 19:30 |
| CooloutAC | ok posted | 19:33 |
| fennesz | Hello everyone ! I recently installed lubuntu 14.04 and have video - firefox tearing with its 8400m gt graphics card | 20:06 |
| fennesz | can anyone help me ? I have tried compton , several nvidia drivers , x.org drivers , triple buffer enabled , but nothing really works | 20:07 |
| wxl | fennesz: nice nick. :) have you updated all your packages? | 20:07 |
| fennesz | wxl yes I did | 20:07 |
| fennesz | ty | 20:07 |
| wxl | fennesz: only in firefox? | 20:08 |
| fennesz | it is most seen in firefox | 20:08 |
| fennesz | chromium runs better | 20:08 |
| wxl | fennesz: so you DO see in in chromium? | 20:08 |
| fennesz | the video quality on hd movies is also a bit off.. | 20:09 |
| wxl | fennesz: in any other software? | 20:09 |
| fennesz | desktop tears when I drag windows too | 20:10 |
| wxl | ok so it's universal | 20:10 |
| wxl | that being said, i don't have the same hardware | 20:10 |
| wxl | so i'm not going to be of much help | 20:10 |
| wxl | i doubt that any other desktop environment would help | 20:10 |
| fennesz | hmmm | 20:10 |
| wxl | you can try regular ubuntu and see if it behaves better | 20:10 |
| fennesz | yes I could . the laptop is a bit old though and I think it will not work | 20:11 |
| fennesz | I will give it a try though | 20:11 |
| fennesz | does mint run faster then ubuntu maybe? | 20:11 |
| wxl | well even if it runs slow, if you can confirm the graphics are good then it's definitely a problem with the desktop environment | 20:11 |
| wxl | mint essentially is ubuntu with some tweaks :/ | 20:12 |
| fennesz | correct | 20:12 |
| wxl | my guess is, though, that you'll have the problems regardless | 20:12 |
| fennesz | ok I will try that and post back | 20:12 |
| wxl | which will point you back at the graphics drivers | 20:12 |
| CooloutAC | welcome to linux | 20:12 |
| wxl | in which case, i would actually go to to #ubuntu and ask if they can be of any assistance | 20:12 |
| fennesz | is there any benchmarks I can try ? | 20:12 |
| CooloutAC | i have to use compiz in gnome, and on kde it has the option to force repaint in the settings | 20:12 |
| fennesz | to find out if I get the correct results? | 20:12 |
| wxl | fennesz: not that i'm aware of off hand | 20:13 |
| fennesz | I have read about kde , but right now I am on lubuntu... | 20:13 |
| CooloutAC | i've tried various hacks on lxde, but they never worked for me | 20:13 |
| fennesz | I see | 20:13 |
| wxl | you have the same graphics card, CooloutAC ? | 20:13 |
| CooloutAC | you can turn off mouse scrolling in the browser | 20:13 |
| CooloutAC | and download videos and watch them in vlc | 20:14 |
| fennesz | CooloutAC: what graphics card do you have? | 20:14 |
| CooloutAC | i mean smooth scrolling | 20:14 |
| CooloutAC | on my desktoip i have an nvidia, on laptop some intel thing | 20:14 |
| fennesz | what video output should I use in vlc? | 20:14 |
| CooloutAC | i use default | 20:14 |
| fennesz | what nvidia card do you have and what drivers are there installed? | 20:15 |
| CooloutAC | i don't run lxde on the nvidia comp | 20:15 |
| fennesz | ok | 20:15 |
| CooloutAC | i use default drivers for the integrated intel w/e it is | 20:15 |
| CooloutAC | what gpu do you have? | 20:15 |
| fennesz | you don't use nvdia at all? | 20:16 |
| fennesz | 8400m gt | 20:16 |
| fennesz | no integrated intel | 20:16 |
| CooloutAC | go to the additional drivers menu see if anything is there for your gpu you can try | 20:16 |
| fennesz | yes I have tried all of them . except 173 which lubuntu for some reason can't finish install | 20:16 |
| CooloutAC | oh dam | 20:17 |
| fennesz | ye would like to test them too | 20:17 |
| wxl | 173? | 20:17 |
| fennesz | yes, its an option on additional drivers | 20:17 |
| wxl | and what install error is there? | 20:18 |
| CooloutAC | so compton didn't help? | 20:18 |
| fennesz | cant really recall | 20:18 |
| fennesz | I did lots of stuff , I am bit confused right now | 20:18 |
| wxl | fennesz: find that out. may be able to help. stick it in a pastebin or something. | 20:18 |
| wxl | always keep track of things you're working on! | 20:18 |
| wxl | !nvidia | 20:18 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 20:18 |
| fennesz | wxl , yes you re correct | 20:19 |
| CooloutAC | so you have prop nvidia drivers installed now? | 20:19 |
| CooloutAC | there is a vsync setting in there | 20:19 |
| wxl | you should look at that link and follow all the nvidia ones fennesz ↑ | 20:19 |
| fennesz | Ok will do this | 20:19 |
| fennesz | yes I have vsync enabled | 20:20 |
| wxl | well apparently this is the specific one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 20:20 |
| CooloutAC | what about enable tripple buffering maybe? | 20:20 |
| fennesz | did that too , no luck | 20:20 |
| fennesz | ok first of all let me try the easiest part . I will boot with linux mint and give you feedback | 20:21 |
| wxl | video cards, especially old ones, can be problematic | 20:21 |
| fennesz | Are you guys regular on this channel ? Have to say you re very helpful :) | 20:22 |
| * wxl is | 20:22 | |
| wxl | but there's several others that are quite helpful, too, fennesz | 20:22 |
| fennesz | yes i guess ;) | 20:22 |
| wxl | also my nick is always here, but i'm not always at the keyboard :) | 20:22 |
| fennesz | ok let me boot to mint . I will propably login tomorrow | 20:22 |
| wxl | so i discourage you seeking me out specifically | 20:22 |
| fennesz | It is a bit late right now.... | 20:23 |
| wxl | okie dokie | 20:23 |
| fennesz | yes ok no problem with that ! | 20:23 |
| fennesz | thank you very much appreciate it ! | 20:23 |
| wxl | no problem. take care! | 20:23 |
| fennesz | cheers | 20:23 |
