[00:14] <xubuntu31w> Hello. I just wanted to know whether there is any settings in Xubuntu that will allow me to adjust the volume for watching horror movies. For example, the 'normal' volume in Insidious is very low compared to the huge spike in volume the movie uses to scare people. Not really great when watching horror films at night and not wanting to disturb others. Any comments?
[00:17] <holstein> xubuntu31w: volume leveling
[00:18] <xubuntu31w> thanks, how do I access that, please?
[00:18] <holstein> oh, its not a settings, for sure
[00:18] <holstein> xubuntu31w: im looking to see how it may be "easy" to do that..
[00:19] <xubuntu31w> Oh.. thanks :)
[00:20] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/31580/is-there-a-way-of-leveling-compressing-the-sound-system-wide seems like a round about high-maintenance way to do it
[00:23] <xubuntu31w> wow... thanks. I will have to work through that carefully.
[00:24] <holstein> i might consider something at the TV, if thats where it is
[00:24] <holstein> some have levelling on them..
[00:24] <xubuntu31w> actually, I am connected to a tv!
[00:24] <xubuntu31w> What is the function called on the TV?
[00:24] <holstein> id say, you'll piddle with that, hopefully, not break your audio, and after about an hour or so, be moderately impressed with the outcome
[00:25] <holstein> i mean, i use those tools from that link, but, they are not "magic".. they require some config
[00:25] <holstein> xubuntu31w: i would google "my tv brand avl" or volume leveling..
[00:26] <xubuntu31w> ok. That's great. Thank you so much for your help!
[00:26] <holstein> xubuntu31w: sure.. let me know how it goes.. i may find something more friendly for a pulseaudio plugin, or something like that
[00:27] <xubuntu31w> Will do ;)
[05:48] <otter_> Hi
[09:03] <Akusari> good morning :)
[09:46] <Akusari> elfy: hi, one question: yesterday, could you help (give support) to the google chrome case ?
[10:31] <Akusari> I have a question about ubuntu package naming syntax. Basicly i know names like foo-1.0.0-<debian number>-ubuntu<ubuntu number>.<sometimes minor>
[10:32] <Akusari> but what's this ? foo-1.0.0-0ubuntu1~14.04
[10:32] <Akusari>  i mean this "~" the rest is clear. why is it used?
[10:51] <arpad2> hello, I have problems how to connect xubuntu to a hp wi-fi printer
[12:12] <xubuntu44w> anybody clued up on usb audio module?
[12:17] <xubuntu44w> any takers?
[13:45] <jost> Hi! In my Thunar, I have accidentially removed the menu bar. How do I get it back? I removed it by unchecking one item in the "view" menu, but without menu bar, I cannot check this item again...
[13:51] <brainvvash> jost, you can toggle the menu bar with ctrl + m
[13:51] <jost> brainvvash: nice, thanks
[13:51] <jost> that bothered me for weeks...
[13:52] <jost> Also just found another way: Edit ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/thunar.xml
[13:52] <jost> then re-login
[13:53] <brainvvash> that's bug 1261369
[16:03] <dalebert> I'm looking for helping changing the default cursor back from a right slanted one to a left slanted one. I had my mouse on the left side and downloaded and install an alternative cursor and it has worked well. Well things have changed and I can't find where to change it back. I backed up the file before changing it. I've looked in /usr/share/icons but don't find it. I've played  with the them but that only affects the cursor in
[16:03] <dalebert> applications, not on the desktop, panel or menus
[17:44] <GeekDude> I'm not actually running xubuntu atm, but can someone help me configure samba on this debian armel system?
[17:44] <GeekDude> I've gotten it to where I can see a share I've made, but I can't seem to write to it
[17:45] <GeekDude> This is what smb.conf looks like http://ahk.us.to/?p=58e990
[17:45] <GeekDude> sorry for the weird pastebin, I use that one reflexively
[17:45] <GeekDude> Here's a gist https://gist.github.com/36c69f74f8df14758503
[19:03] <sleezio> hello, what is the best(easiest) way to make a copy of a dvd? i don't want to rip, but just make a mirrror image from dvd to a blank dvd..i've seen articles on acidrip, handbrake, etc, but i *think* those are all rippers
[19:05] <holstein> sleezio: you could rip to iso, and burn that iso..
[19:05] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/147800/ripping-dvd-to-iso-accurately
[19:06] <sleezio> thanks, i'll give that a try
[19:06] <holstein> could likely just find the copy function in the menu of brasero does what you like.. "copy" using DVD as source and destiation.. making the image it needs during the process on the hard drive temporarily
[19:06] <holstein> thats where i would start ^
[20:30] <shamurai> Got to love the intel "tear free" option. No more compton or compiz for me
[23:06] <TugaPower> any one for help ?
[23:12] <knome> TugaPower, ask your question and find out


[00:08] <tsimonq2> Wat
[00:08] <tsimonq2> !tsimonq2-#kubuntu-devel
[00:08] <tsimonq2> Look what wxl did ^^^^^^^^^^^
[00:09]  * tsimonq2 goes off to do other things
[00:11] <elky> wxl: seriously?
[00:12] <wxl> elky: i know. i'm terrible.
[00:12] <elky> can you remove it please?
[00:12] <wxl> aw jeez you're no fun.
[00:12] <wxl> you'd be surprised what we in #kubuntu-devel have to put up with from him :)
[00:12] <elky> this is not the way to deal with problem helpers
[00:13] <wxl> i'm mostly joking. he has his moments, but mostly joking.
[00:13] <wxl> and he knows it!
[00:13] <wxl> he's just using his tattle-tale powers
[00:13] <wxl> but yes i'll remove it
[00:13] <bazhang> botabuse to insult is not funny imo
[00:13] <wxl> once i remember how to again :O
[00:13] <elky> thank you
[00:14] <dax> (!forget tsimonq2-#kubuntu-devel)
[00:14] <wxl> that's it
[00:14] <wxl> why can't it be delete?
[00:14] <wxl> sigh
[00:14] <wxl> !forget tsimonq2-#kubuntu-devel
[00:14] <dax> because it's not deleted :3
[00:14] <wxl> touché
[00:15] <Unit193> You can see the deleted ones on the factoid page, and they still show up in searches.
[00:15] <Unit193> "deleted"
[00:15] <wxl> all the better
[00:15]  * dax snerks
[00:15] <dax> !unforget tsimonq2-#kubuntu-devel
[00:16] <dax> !no, tsimonq2-#kubuntu-devel is <reply> fnord
[00:16] <wxl> um
[00:16] <dax> !forget tsimonq2-#kubuntu-devel
[00:16] <wxl> awwww
[00:16]  * wxl sheds a tear
[00:16]  * dax pours one out for the factoid
[00:16] <wxl> welll that's about all the fun i have in me for the rest of the month
[00:16] <wxl> thanks guys :)
[00:17] <hggdh> that was not cool
[00:18] <wxl> it was, seriously, a joke and i'm quite sure he knws it. mea culpa.
[00:18] <Unit193> By all appearances, he doesn't.
[00:18] <bazhang> why would he come here to complain if that were so
[00:19] <dax> was that a rhetorical question
[00:19] <wxl> feel free to ask him
[00:19] <ahoneybun> that was funny tho
[00:19] <bazhang> more like put a thinking cap on before stepping in those waters
[00:19] <ahoneybun> professional - no, funny - yes
[00:20] <Unit193> ahoneybun: That's a resource which he can neither edit, remove, or "make jabs back" with.  It's also meant more as a resource, not for jabs.
[00:21]  * dax pours one out for half of the *-#ubuntu-offtopic factoids too
[00:21] <dax> (the deleted ones)
[00:21] <ahoneybun> Unit193: I stick by what I said though
[00:22] <tsimonq2> And I'm fine by the way. I wasn't that offended, I've known wxl for a while and it's fine.
[00:22] <tsimonq2> I iust wanted someone to unset it.
[00:22] <elky> that is already done
[00:22] <Unit193> tsimonq2: This is not the place for making jokes like that then.  Please remember the story of the boy that cried wolf.
[00:22] <tsimonq2> Unit193: Apologies
[00:23] <wxl> Unit193: to be fair, i made the initial joke. it's not his fault.
[00:23] <bazhang> !jabber
[00:23]  * tsimonq2 exits the channel
[00:24] <ahoneybun> jabber still lives?
[00:25] <elky> well it's xmpp, it's in plenty of places
[00:25] <elky> just not always called jabber
[00:25] <Unit193> > Google chat
[00:25] <dax> Google Chat still lives?
[00:26] <bazhang> I always confuse xmms and xmpp
[00:26] <dax> one of them's obsolete and nobody uses it because better things came out since
[00:26] <dax> the other is a music player
[00:27] <bazhang> I thought audacicous took over from xmms
[00:27]  * Unit193 questions what is better than xmpp.
[00:27] <bazhang> xmpp is voip?
[00:28] <dax> there's a thing
[00:28] <dax> ZRTP?
[00:28] <dax> or is that the encryption thing for it
[00:29] <dax> idk, anyway, there are a bunch of xmpp clients that can do voice but i don't know that the actual voice goes over xmpp
[00:29] <dax> i think it's just used for negotiation like with DCC

[14:23] <Iamthehuman1> I figured out how to make my 'xset dpms force suspend'-script work ... started working as expected when a 'sleep 1' was added before that command to turn off the displays
[14:24] <Iamthehuman1> apparently it would pick up keyboard press from the hotkey combo, unless the invoked script first sleeps for a second
[14:56] <OvenWerks> that makes sense
[15:00] <Iamthehuman1> I have the script even on my cell phone's KDE Connect, so I can shut down the displays even when I'm not at the keyboard. Now I wish I could figure out how to /disconnect in Konversation with a textual command, so I could do a script that disconnects from irc before putting the computer to sleep
[17:30] <Iamthehuman1> Anyone have any idea why autostarting Ardour6 does not work. Other software autostarts fine... Could maybe be some timing thing
[17:32] <Iamthehuman1> ok.. got it. changing the autostart command from '/usr/bin/ardour %f' to just '/usr/bin/ardour' could help. Logging out to verify
[17:35] <Iamthehuman1> nope, still Ardour6 won't autostart. There is prlly a log file to look at

[20:12] <OlneyPyne[m]> My Issue is this: I have Ubuntu Studio 21.04, I have installed my Focusrite Audio Card and It worked properly several times, I always plug the USB Cable in to the computer, use the programs to play sound and record, then unplug the USB cable without issues, but the issue is this: One day, when I plugged it to the USB input on my laptop and rebooted my system with my card been connected to USB port, when it started up the sound did not
[20:12] <OlneyPyne[m]> work. When I opened firefox or a Daw, seems that it is working properly, showing output signals ok. No issues reported when I use Jack also, but still no Audio sound. It also happens with Ubuntu studio 20.04 and 21.04, on the 19.04 version this issue doesn't happen. The scarlet 18i8 works properly when ubuntu is installed from the scratch, only issue is when system reboots with the card pluged in. I appreciate if you can help me with
[20:12] <OlneyPyne[m]> this issue. Thanks.
[21:20] <Eickmeyer> OlneyPyne[m]: Seeing as how you've been waiting an hour, the honest truth is you might not get answers here. You might also try #opensourcemusicians:libera.chat and/or #lau:libera.chat.


[08:18] <Guest83078> hello, I just installed xubuntu 17.04. Why is the Software Centre so slow?
[08:18] <Guest83078> it is really too slow.
[08:20] <Chetan> anyone :/
[08:20] <Chetan> :( :( :( :( :(
[08:21] <Guest83078> Chetan, you have any clue?
[08:21] <Guest83078> which place are you from?
[08:22] <Chetan> I am from India

[08:22] <Guest83078> ok
[08:22] <Chetan> I need some help regarding xubuntu =(
[08:22] <Guest83078> I also.
[08:22] <Chetan> :( :(
[08:22] <Guest83078> Just installed xubuntu 17.04
[08:23] <Guest83078> software centre is pathetically slow.
[08:23] <Chetan> I installed xubuntu but my internet (wired) is not being detected.
[08:23] <Chetan> I installed xubuntu 16.04
[08:23] <Guest83078> i had to install all the packages through synaptic package manager.
[08:23] <Guest83078> I am new to linux.
[08:23] <Chetan> yes but I can't do it because my internet is not working in xubuntu
[08:24] <Guest83078> ok
[08:24] <Chetan> where r u from?
[08:24] <Guest83078> I don't have any clue, since I to am new here.
[08:24] <Chetan> I am also new here
[08:29] <Guest83078> ok
[08:29] <Guest83078> which other operating system are you using now?
[08:59] <redblade7> i dont even bother with software center
[08:59] <redblade7> i always use synaptic
[10:16] <linux_explore> hello, why does Xubuntu 17.04 stop responding frequently?
[10:17] <linux_explore> I am forced to manually reset my laptop.
[10:19] <linux_explore> is this not an appropriate channel for xubuntu support?
[13:05] <BlackBit017> Hello everyone! I've got a newbie question ;) Does anybody know how much disk space xubuntu-core requires? Thinking of installing it on a ThinClient with only 2GB of SSD disk space.
[13:31] <BlackBit017> Figured it out by installing on a VM. Takes about 2.5 GB of space, with just a few necessary programs. Thanks anyways and have a nice day everyone.
[19:23] <foca_> I'm using xubuntu 16.04 and I was checking in logs application is getting this error "Lightdm" "PAM adding faulty module: pam_kwallet5.so". Anyone could help me solve this ? thanks.
[20:56] <Irrelium> Which packages should I remove from xubuntu to completely disable networking support?
[20:59] <well_laid_lawn> Irrelium:  you can blacklist the kernel modules for your network devices
[20:59] <Irrelium> That's a good idea
[23:57] <adrian_1908> If I want to report issues in the 17.10 preview, where would I best do this? The regular Ubuntu bugs launchpad, or some place more specific?


 Can anyone tell me how much disk space lubuntu installation consumes?
[09:51] <arraybolt3> broken: Wrong channel, try #lubuntu
[09:59] <kc2bez> !support | @broken
 Just noticed that if scaling up via session manager, the resolution of wallpaper would be cut down, I currently workaround by disable Desktop service and use feh instead
 This looks like a Qt problem, or the realization methods in pcmanfm, I'll dig further
 Thanks for the information and for hunting it down.
 Just out of curiosity, u guys don't scale up under screen larger than 1080p?🤔🤣
 I have a 27 inch 2k monitor but I don't scale it. It seems appropriate to me.
 I once thought that "okay... 1080p is pixel-lized under 2K, that is expected, fine" and do the Video2x soft upscale to the origami-logo PNG, and booked, wtf!!! Then I thought lxqt doesn't instantly update cache😂not the fact
 Me too, just, I'm bad sighted (re @kc2bez: I have a 27 inch 2k monitor but I don't scale it. It seems appropriate to me.)
 :D
 There are some scaling options coming in the newer versions of LXQt but they will be very basic at first.
 Under 1.1.0 fyi.
 It is currently primitive as just export the GDK and QT env var
 right
 But I think it is good, related to kde or gnome that, you don't see changes by the cars, because they overrider it with some other mechanisms

[18:04] <pleia2> thanks :)
[18:04] <pleia2> Cheri703: you again, Competition news? :)
[18:04] <pleia2> I added some more questions to our private questions key, so I think we have enough
[18:04] <Cheri703> questions are finally sorted! so next step is creating the form for submission
[18:05] <Cheri703> then choosing a start date and advertising the heck out of it
[18:05] <pleia2> I'm thinking Monday
[18:05] <pleia2> that will give us the weekend to get the form sorted and blog posts prepped
[18:06] <Cheri703> do we want to advertise in advance of start date or?
[18:06] <pleia2> not sure, we also have the survey going out this week (we'll get to that in a moment)
[18:07] <pleia2> maybe we send out a teaser tweet/fb/g+ on Friday?
[18:07] <IdleOne> I think it is better to have everything in place before advertising, just in case of any snags
[18:07] <pleia2> #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/ScavengerHunt
[18:08] <pleia2> that will also need to be reviewed and updated as needed with dates
[18:10] <Cheri703> agree with IdleOne
[18:10] <Cheri703> (sorry, someone came to the door)
[18:10] <Cheri703> Original thought had been to start it on like a friday and then run til a monday, so 2 weekends in the contest time frame
[18:10] <Cheri703> so if we start posting about it monday, then we could start it next friday?
[18:11] <pleia2> sure
[18:11] <Cheri703> and that gives us the rest of this week/most of next to get it finalized/ready
[18:11] <pleia2> that will also give us nice spacing between survey announcement and competition
[18:11] <Cheri703> yeah

[18:13] <pleia2> I can proof read/help as needed :)
[18:14] <Cheri703> ok cool
[18:14] <pleia2> ok, survey!
[18:15] <pleia2> so I worked with AlanBell to come up with survey questions, and the survey is now up :) http://goo.gl/CXem63
[18:15] <pleia2> pretty basic, I figure we can refine in follow-up surveys as needed
[18:15] <pleia2> this is our first survey so I wanted it to be pretty broad and general
[18:16] <pleia2> I haven't shared the link yet, so this is the debut, if anyone has any comments or changes they wish to see, now's your chance :)
[18:18] <pleia2> good, bad, indifferent? :)
[18:18] <Cheri703> good! :)
[18:18] <IdleOne> looks good here
[18:18] <pleia2> ok cool
[18:19] <pleia2> looks like that's it for blueprint items
[18:19] <pleia2> #topic Tips on how to get involved with the various skills that each of us have, either in the community of Ubuntu/Ubuntu-Women/FOSS or in the IT field with FOSS being the focus, and how does the non-FOSS IT world sees the FOSS world in IT field
[18:20] <pleia2> looks like belkinsa isn't here
[18:20] <pleia2> but what I gathered from the thread that inspired this topic is that our "how to get involved" resources aren't obvious enough on our site
[18:21] <pleia2> it's true, http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/ needs some work
[18:21] <pleia2> so I'm thinking I'll follow-up on list and suggest they schedule a meeting specificially to talk about this and see what we can do to improve it :)
[18:21] <IdleOne> maybe move the link up just under the About link?
[18:22] <IdleOne> your idea is better I think :)
[18:22] <pleia2> IdleOne: I think it's more involved than that and we'll find that even our getting involved page, once found, is not sufficient
[18:22] <pleia2> it's kind of "here are some links, have fun!"

[18:23] <meetingology> ACTION: pleia2 to follow up on list with improvements for getting involved & what people are doing docs
[18:24] <pleia2> #topic Any other business (AOB)
[18:24] <IdleOne> well it is a wiki, everybody is welcome to improve it :)
[18:24] <IdleOne> err maybe not
[18:24] <pleia2> IdleOne: only admins can edit the front page
[18:24] <pleia2> (we've had vandalism)
[18:24] <IdleOne> yeah just remembered that
[18:25] <pleia2> and the folks asking for improvements are the ones who are trying to get involved, so they can't really rewrite it ;)
[18:25] <pleia2> feedback from them is essential though
[18:25] <IdleOne> indeed
[18:26] <pleia2> ok, so any other things folks wish to discuss?
[18:26] <IdleOne> nope :)
[18:28] <Cheri703> I'm good
[18:31] <pleia2> ok, thanks everyone!
