[00:18] does someone know the best way to install guest additions for virtual box on lunbuntu 14.04.04 [00:18] ? [00:19] virtualbox-guest-dkms? === IdleOne is now known as Guest18511 === petersaints_ is now known as petersaints === dzho_ is now known as dzho|split === dzho|split is now known as dzho === Metacity|uh-oh is now known as Metacity === daker_ is now known as daker [00:37] Unit193, didnt work [00:38] whatever i do the screen stays the same [00:38] size [00:38] Jakey2: you mean, you are trying to adjust the screen in a guest? [01:12] yes i fixed it now [01:13] i needed to run [01:13] sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core [01:13] in the guest? [01:13] yes [01:13] http://askubuntu.com/questions/98416/error-kernel-headers-not-found-but-they-are-in-place [01:14] ok thanks anyhow [17:04] is it possible to get the media keys to work in lubuntu, specifcially the volume and mute keys? [17:04] i checked xev and they are in fact registering to the correct XF86Audio keys [17:12] christo_m, xbindkeys [17:13] bioterror: ok.. then what [17:13] i have it installed and created a default xbindkeysrc in home [17:15] http://pastebin.com/kxJFCmhV [17:15] something like that [17:18] bioterror: do i have to restart xserver or something or? [17:18] just load the xbindkeys and add that command to your openbox's startup [17:18] bioterror: well i put that in .xbindkeysrc [17:18] how do i add it to openbox startup? [17:23] does the ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart still exist? [17:23] bioterror: oh yes its there [17:24] christo_m, LXSession configuration tool. with a GUI :) [17:24] Preferences > Default applications for LXSession [17:24] oh im fine with appending a console command to this file. [17:24] im not that much of a pleb [17:24] i just dont know what said command is. [17:24] :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] i actually find it more difficult and cumbersome to drill through GUI menus ( [17:25] :(* [17:25] that's the good thing of Linux, you can do whatever you want :) [17:27] bioterror: ? [17:27] what? [17:27] bioterror: what am i adding to that file [17:29] "xbindkeys &" if I recall right [17:29] or did it require & [17:29] http://www.perfectlyrandom.org/2014/03/30/making-programsscripts-start-automatically-in-lubuntu-13-10/ [17:29] says it doesnt? [17:30] i just ran xbindkeys manually in terminal [17:30] and tried the shortcuts.. didnt work [17:30] well, then you have different keys for that [17:30] just a second [17:31] xbindkeys -k [17:31] that command tells you the correct information [17:33] bioterror: i just hit mute for example. [17:33] its exactly like yours , character code 121.. [17:33] bioterror: lower and raise is the same also.. [17:34] christo_m: you migght want to use xev to be sure that's the character code that key is passing [17:36] wxl: ive used xev to check as well [17:36] the character codes are correct [17:40] bioterror, wxl any ideas? [17:42] actually no, becouse that's how I fixed that on few laptops with i3-wm [17:46] uhh [17:46] ok , gg i guess [19:23] so how do I get the mixer setting for the sound controls in lubuntu? [19:23] when i right click and hit sound options, it just opens up a blank terminal [19:26] CooloutAC, argh that is a bug I reported [19:26] I think you could make a desktop shortcut to open alsamixer [19:26] from the menu [19:26] does lubuntu use puluseaudio? [19:26] or use a drop down terminal with alsamixer [19:26] not out of the box [19:26] you can install it if you want [19:26] ok [19:26] or stuff might pull it in [19:26] i kind of like it only cause it lets me change volume for diff running apps [19:27] if you install pavucontrol it will use that as mixer from applet [19:27] ok [19:27] on the oldest of the old machines it can cause more overhead I have heard [19:27] well I think fedora lxde had it installed by default it was ok [19:28] i also wanted options cause usually you can make volume go past 100% and make it louder [19:28] but so far it hasn't been a huge issue [19:29] i'll wait till if i absolutely must have it [19:29] where can i go and post about your bug? [19:30] 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] ianorlin: yes exactly [19:30] bug 1434774 [19:30] bug 1434774 in lxpanel (Ubuntu) "lxpanel volume applet settings opens empty terminal window" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1434774 [19:30] 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] ok posted [20:06] Hello everyone ! I recently installed lubuntu 14.04 and have video - firefox tearing with its 8400m gt graphics card [20:07] can anyone help me ? I have tried compton , several nvidia drivers , x.org drivers , triple buffer enabled , but nothing really works [20:07] fennesz: nice nick. :) have you updated all your packages? [20:07] wxl yes I did [20:07] ty [20:08] fennesz: only in firefox? [20:08] it is most seen in firefox [20:08] chromium runs better [20:08] fennesz: so you DO see in in chromium? [20:09] the video quality on hd movies is also a bit off.. [20:09] fennesz: in any other software? [20:10] desktop tears when I drag windows too [20:10] ok so it's universal [20:10] that being said, i don't have the same hardware [20:10] so i'm not going to be of much help [20:10] i doubt that any other desktop environment would help [20:10] hmmm [20:10] you can try regular ubuntu and see if it behaves better [20:11] yes I could . the laptop is a bit old though and I think it will not work [20:11] I will give it a try though [20:11] does mint run faster then ubuntu maybe? [20:11] 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] mint essentially is ubuntu with some tweaks :/ [20:12] correct [20:12] my guess is, though, that you'll have the problems regardless [20:12] ok I will try that and post back [20:12] which will point you back at the graphics drivers [20:12] welcome to linux [20:12] in which case, i would actually go to to #ubuntu and ask if they can be of any assistance [20:12] is there any benchmarks I can try ? [20:12] i have to use compiz in gnome, and on kde it has the option to force repaint in the settings [20:12] to find out if I get the correct results? [20:13] fennesz: not that i'm aware of off hand [20:13] I have read about kde , but right now I am on lubuntu... [20:13] i've tried various hacks on lxde, but they never worked for me [20:13] I see [20:13] you have the same graphics card, CooloutAC ? [20:13] you can turn off mouse scrolling in the browser [20:14] and download videos and watch them in vlc [20:14] CooloutAC: what graphics card do you have? [20:14] i mean smooth scrolling [20:14] on my desktoip i have an nvidia, on laptop some intel thing [20:14] what video output should I use in vlc? [20:14] i use default [20:15] what nvidia card do you have and what drivers are there installed? [20:15] i don't run lxde on the nvidia comp [20:15] ok [20:15] i use default drivers for the integrated intel w/e it is [20:15] what gpu do you have? [20:16] you don't use nvdia at all? [20:16] 8400m gt [20:16] no integrated intel [20:16] go to the additional drivers menu see if anything is there for your gpu you can try [20:16] yes I have tried all of them . except 173 which lubuntu for some reason can't finish install [20:17] oh dam [20:17] ye would like to test them too [20:17] 173? [20:17] yes, its an option on additional drivers [20:18] and what install error is there? [20:18] so compton didn't help? [20:18] cant really recall [20:18] I did lots of stuff , I am bit confused right now [20:18] fennesz: find that out. may be able to help. stick it in a pastebin or something. [20:18] always keep track of things you're working on! [20:18] !nvidia [20:18] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [20:19] wxl , yes you re correct [20:19] so you have prop nvidia drivers installed now? [20:19] there is a vsync setting in there [20:19] you should look at that link and follow all the nvidia ones fennesz ↑ [20:19] Ok will do this [20:20] yes I have vsync enabled [20:20] well apparently this is the specific one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [20:20] what about enable tripple buffering maybe? [20:20] did that too , no luck [20:21] ok first of all let me try the easiest part . I will boot with linux mint and give you feedback [20:21] video cards, especially old ones, can be problematic [20:22] Are you guys regular on this channel ? Have to say you re very helpful :) [20:22] * wxl is [20:22] but there's several others that are quite helpful, too, fennesz [20:22] yes i guess ;) [20:22] also my nick is always here, but i'm not always at the keyboard :) [20:22] ok let me boot to mint . I will propably login tomorrow [20:22] so i discourage you seeking me out specifically [20:23] It is a bit late right now.... [20:23] okie dokie [20:23] yes ok no problem with that ! [20:23] thank you very much appreciate it ! [20:23] no problem. take care!
