Prisoner_I found out why my Xubuntu box wasn't burning ISO CDs today03:32
Prisoner_I was using xfburn, switched to K3B and it worked03:32
PuMpErNiCkLeCool.03:33
Prisoner_it was a funny thing, xfburn will burn data CDs, but acts funny when I try to burn a CD from an ISO file03:33
Prisoner_spent most of this afternoon working in Xubuntu, had fun with it03:36
Prisoner_gathering info on my main machine so I'll have what I need to install it03:37
Prisoner_I have 2 cd drives in my machine, one is a CD-R/RW/DVD Reader, the other is a CDR/RW/DVD writer, one is AOpen, one is Sony03:38
Prisoner_when I try to copy an uncopyprotected DVD, I get an error message, wonder if that'll happen in Xubuntu03:39
PuMpErNiCkLeDepends on the error.03:40
Prisoner_can't remember the exact error message, it's cryptic.  I use Nero under Windows03:42

adam_Hi. How do I change screen resolution? I have an iBook (1024) but I'm getting 800x600, I think03:03
gabkdllyadam_: check out Applications->Settings->Display Settings03:05
adam_Doesn't appear there: 1024 is not enabled.03:05
adam_In Ubuntu there is a command line thing that will do it, but "gedit" is not recognized.03:06
adam_Is there a 'gedit' for Xubuntu?03:07
adam_(When I type it, it says "command not found"03:07
gabkdllygedit is not included in a default xubuntu install. you could use mousepad instead.03:08
gabkdllyor, you could install gedit03:08
adam_I'd prefer to use the mouse :)03:08
adam_I'm a GUI kind of guy.03:08
gabkdllyor, you could install and use any other editor of your liking ;)03:08
gabkdlly!xorg03:08
ubotuThe X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto03:08
adam_Excellent. I'll start there and come back when I'm in tears.03:09
adam_OK. That didn't work. I opened terminal and entered "sudo nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf"03:20
adam_It said at the bottom "New File"03:21
adam_I think, from what the page says, that I should be seeing the file, not creating a new one.03:21
adam_But let's be clear: I have NO IDEA what I'm doing.03:21
grazieadam_: you didn't get the name quite right. I'd advise reading http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto...the link that gabkdlly gave you03:24
adam_Alas, I did. The autodetect section didn't work--but it looked like it wasn't supposed to.03:25
adam_Then I tried to edit the file, as the page says to. What didn't I get right in the name? I tried several times. Here's what the page says: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf03:26
adam_I entered it, I think, just like that.03:26
adam_I'll try again, just to be triple sure.03:27
adam_Is the trouble that the page seems most concerned with Ubuntu, not Xubuntu?03:28
adam_Triple-checked: I'm still getting a new file, not the display file.03:29
adam_Anyone?03:36
PuMpErNiCkLeIt's case-sensitive.03:37
adam_I see. I'll try again, then. Thanks pumpernickle.03:37

graziegeo:- http://xfce-look.org/04:38
geo-how do you install them though?04:38

grazies/theme/them/04:40
geo-ok, thanks04:41
graziegeo-: not certain about that directory though...have a look on your machine first04:42
geo-might it be /usr/share/themes? cause there isn't a themes folder in the home dir04:42

grazienoname: engage (part of e17) is very nice05:13

graziemaxamillion: dunno...not worth worrying about :)05:14

maxamillion!engage05:14
ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about engage - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi05:14
=== maxamillion slaps ubotu
grazienoname: it's another dock and comes from e17 project05:15
grazie!e1705:15
ubotuEnlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version.05:15
maxamillioni thought it would be a separate package ... guess i assumed e17 to be as modular as xfce05:16
graziemaxamillion: yes it is separate05:16
maxamillionif e17 EVER goes stable, i will give it a shot ... because it really is very eye pleasing and capable for how light it is on the system but its been in development for far too long and i keep getting the idea that the project is going nowhere05:17
graziedreamlinux uses it to good effect with xfce (I think)05:17
maxamilliongrazie: oh ... maybe its just not packaged in the repos then05:17
nonamehm. isnt there anything called enlighenment 16 also=05:17
noname?*05:17
maxamillionyeah, dreamlinux has a very good implementation of engage+xfce05:17
grazienoname: yes that's quite stable..but not pretty05:18
maxamillionnoname: yes, enlightenment16 is the stable release ... enlightenment17 is the development version (that has been in development for almost a decade now)05:18

nonameworth to try?05:19
maxamilliongrazie: yeah ... i know, i can understand what they are doing but even the debian team doesn't take that long to stablize an entire operating system and there isn't anything on the planet that is more stable then debian stable branch ;)05:20
maxamillionnoname: stable, yes ... goodlooking, it can be ... but it has little annoyances that i don't like about it ... i would prefer to use fluxbox over e16 (but that is just my opinion)05:20
graziemaxamillion: yeah, but noone is getting paid though05:21
maxamilliongrazie: up until 6 months to a year ago, nobody on the debian devel team was getting paid either05:21
grazieI'd much rather use xfce than e1605:21
nonamei just installed beryl. and then the kiba-dock started to work like it should :S strange. to bad that beryl doesnt work good on my computer =/05:21
graziemaxamillion: but they are a big team05:22
maxamillionoh yeah ... xfce in my opinion is the perfect balance of features to performance and i think it has a very clean professional look to it05:22
maxamilliongrazie: true, but they work on an entire operating system05:22
nonamebut is it able to not to use any of the animations and the 3d deskop in beryl? to inactivate them?05:22
graziemaxamillion: true05:22
maxamillionnoname: i dunno to be honest .... i wouldn't think you can, 3d is kinda the only reason beryl exists05:23
nonamehm yeah i know =/05:23
graziemaxamillion: but enlightenment looks at things very differently to all that's gone before05:23
maxamilliongrazie: yeah, i think its a complete rewrite from e16 so i do understand their lengthy development cycle05:24
grazienoname: if your interested in e16/e17 give elive a try05:24
nonamegrazie: I dont know if Im really intrested. well im intrested in tryng new things :)05:25
nonamegrazie: I dont really know what enlightenment is. is it a windowmanager?:S05:26
maxamillionyes, elive is a very good representation of e16/e17 and actually has e16 customized to be very eye pleasing and useful ... more so than any other configuration of e16 i have ever seen05:26
graziee17 too05:26
maxamillionbut i actually am on a personal boycott of eLive because the lead developer won't let you download the image at any faster than like 10k/s unless you donate money, which really annoys me05:26
maxamillionkinda defeats the purpose05:27
graziemaxamillion: it's on the linux torrents site05:27
maxamillionoh ... didn't know that, it didn't used to be and i actually got into an arguement with one of the developers of the project in their irc channel once about it ... it was bad :(05:28

maxamillionor that08:15

TheSheepagrei1: what do you need apache for actually?08:15
maxamillionagrei1: what shortcomings does 2.0 have that you need from 2.2?08:16
agrei1I dont know exactly, but I want to use mod_python with it. Unfortunately mod_python inthe repositories ist outdated too (3.2.8) the latest stable is 3.2.1008:17
agrei1In production we have 2.208:18
maxamillionif you are just doing development, anything that will run on apache 2.0 with mod_python 3.2.8 will run on apache 2.2 with mod_python 3.2.10 .... so there wouldn't be any compatibility issues and i honestly couldn't tell you what the feature list is that makes them different08:19

maxamillionthat is valid in 2.5, it _should_ be an error08:24

TheSheepnonlocal: it's application-specific (in windows too)08:28

TheSheepnonlocal: you can enable it in firefox and it's enabled by default in the pdf viewer, I think08:28
