[00:18] <Jakey2> does someone know the best way to install guest additions for virtual box on lunbuntu 14.04.04
[00:18] <Jakey2> ?
[00:19] <Unit193> virtualbox-guest-dkms?
[00:37] <Jakey2> Unit193, didnt work
[00:38] <Jakey2> whatever i do the screen stays the same
[00:38] <Jakey2> size
[00:38] <holstein> Jakey2: you mean, you are trying to adjust the screen in a guest?
[01:12] <Jakey2> yes i fixed it now
[01:13] <Jakey2> i needed to run
[01:13] <Jakey2> sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core
[01:13] <holstein> in the guest?
[01:13] <Jakey2> yes
[01:13] <Jakey2> http://askubuntu.com/questions/98416/error-kernel-headers-not-found-but-they-are-in-place
[01:14] <Jakey2> ok thanks anyhow
[17:04] <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
[17:12] <bioterror> christo_m, xbindkeys
[17:13] <christo_m> bioterror: ok.. then what
[17:13] <christo_m> i have it installed and created a default xbindkeysrc in home
[17:15] <bioterror> http://pastebin.com/kxJFCmhV
[17:15] <bioterror> something like that
[17:18] <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?
[17:23] <bioterror> does the ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart still exist?
[17:23] <christo_m> bioterror: oh yes its there
[17:24] <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
[17:25] <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 :)
[17:27] <christo_m> bioterror: ?
[17:27] <bioterror> what?
[17:27] <christo_m> bioterror: what am i adding to that file
[17:29] <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?
[17:30] <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
[17:31] <bioterror> xbindkeys -k
[17:31] <bioterror> that command tells you the correct information
[17:33] <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..
[17:34] <wxl> christo_m: you migght want to use xev to be sure that's the character code that key is passing
[17:36] <christo_m> wxl: ive used xev to check as well
[17:36] <christo_m> the character codes are correct
[17:40] <christo_m> bioterror, wxl any ideas?
[17:42] <bioterror> actually no, becouse that's how I fixed that on few laptops with i3-wm
[17:46] <christo_m> uhh
[17:46] <christo_m> ok , gg i guess
[19:23] <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
[19:26] <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
[19:27] <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
[19:28] <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
[19:29] <CooloutAC> i'll wait till if i absolutely must have it
[19:29] <CooloutAC> where can i go and post about your bug?
[19:30] <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] <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
[19:33] <CooloutAC> ok posted
[20:06] <fennesz> Hello everyone ! I recently installed lubuntu 14.04 and have video - firefox tearing with its 8400m gt graphics card
[20:07] <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
[20:08] <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?
[20:09] <fennesz> the video quality on hd movies is also a bit off..
[20:09] <wxl> fennesz: in any other software?
[20:10] <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
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <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?
[20:13] <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
[20:14] <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
[20:15] <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?
[20:16] <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
[20:17] <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
[20:18] <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
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <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
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <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
