| AstronomyDomine | Hello, I'm having a bit of a problem with gstreamer and Exaile!, I've installed the ugly plugins and mp3 output works fine on my main account but does not work on the other user account I created. Am I forgetting to do something? | 12:41 |

| Arkh | sudo apt-get install openoffice.org | 03:38 |
| LM1 | well I have since found debs | 03:38 |

| Chili | I've searched around for a while now but no one else seems to have the problem....Certain sites with white backgrounds render the text also in white...leaving it invisible...any way to solve this, other than highlighting it? | 05:19 |
| Chili | Its not a coding problem on the site's end, it renders correctly in windows. | 05:19 |
| Pumpernickel | What site, and what version of what browser? | 05:23 |
| Chili | gorillamask.net, and 2.0.0.3 of firefox | 05:28 |
| Chili | also, it seems like nothingtoxic.com's videos won't play because I'm missing a codec...I can't seem to figure out what codec it is....any ideas? | 05:28 |
| rici | "it renders correctly in windows" does not imply that it's not a coding error on the site | 05:31 |
| rici | a lot of bad html renders correctly on some idiosyncratic browser or other | 05:32 |

| Chili | Hmmm. | 05:33 |
| rici | so today's question is: I have a Terminal window open. I need it's window-id. $WINDOWID is the child window of the window i need. how do i get the actual window-id other than parsing the output of xwininfo -children ? | 05:33 |
| Pumpernickel | The videos - e.g, the one on the front page about the motorcycles, now - are in wmv, so you'll need that codec. | 05:33 |
| rici | *without using a mouse or keyboard* | 05:33 |
| rici | i.e. in a script | 05:33 |
| Pumpernickel | As for the white-on-white, I don't have that issue, so I'm afraid I can't help there. | 05:33 |
| Chili | Hmm, think it might have something to do with my theme? | 05:34 |
| Chili | An all black theme could maybe make the text render differently? | 05:34 |
| Pumpernickel | If it applies a stylesheet to rendered pages, yes. | 05:34 |
| Pumpernickel | If it's only menu/button theme, unlikely. | 05:34 |
| Chili | Yeah, it was my theme....I loved that theme....lol | 05:37 |
| Pumpernickel | If you send an email the theme maintainer, s/he might fix it. | 05:38 |

| kbrooks | hi. | 01:21 |
| kbrooks | i installed xubuntu-desktop | 01:21 |
| kbrooks | for once it looks much better than uhm the older xfces | 01:21 |
| Grey_Loki | XFCE 4.4 is rather nice. | 01:24 |
| Grey_Loki | Erm, 4.3 actually, i think. | 01:24 |
| Arkh | 4.3.99 | 01:25 |
| grazie | 4.3? | 01:25 |
| Arkh | :p | 01:25 |
| h3sp4wn | xubuntu-desktop brings in all sorts of junk | 01:26 |
| kbrooks | h3sp4wn, oh w/e like i care | 01:26 |
| grazie | one mans junk in another mans gold :) | 01:26 |
| grazie | is* | 01:26 |
| h3sp4wn | waste's bandwidth though no point to install something you will never use (if you know in advance you will not) | 01:27 |
| Arkh | h3sp4wn, install gentoo then :p | 01:27 |
| Arkh | or you can install xubuntu-desktop and then remove the things you don't need | 01:28 |
| h3sp4wn | don't install it to start with is the only option | 01:28 |
| Arkh | Description: Xubuntu desktop system | 01:28 |
| Arkh | This package depends on all of the packages in the Xubuntu desktop system | 01:28 |
| Arkh | . | 01:28 |
| Arkh | It is safe to remove this package if some of the desktop system packages are | 01:28 |
| Arkh | not desired. | 01:28 |
| grazie | oy use debian or slackware or ... | 01:28 |
| h3sp4wn | there is no reason there shouldn't be something like {k,x,u}desktop-minimal | 01:29 |
| Arkh | alternate cd? | 01:30 |
| grazie | fluxbuntu? | 01:30 |
| pleia2 | h3sp4wn: you can just install xfce4 and all the components by themselves, that's what I did with my laptop | 01:30 |
| h3sp4wn | pleia2: Thats what I did | 01:30 |
| pleia2 | very easy | 01:30 |
| h3sp4wn | And then rebuilt the parts that xubuntu trashed up (trying to make it look like gnome) | 01:31 |
| === surge [n=highvolt@dsl-240-121-135.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| pleia2 | I wouldn't say "trashed up" - they modified it to fit with Ubuntu | 01:31 |
| pleia2 | but I change it back to traditional XFCE too | 01:31 |
| Arkh | I like this xfce :) | 01:31 |
| h3sp4wn | No point in imitation | 01:31 |
| === pleia2 shrugs | ||
| pleia2 | you are quite opinionated :) | 01:31 |
| grazie | the thing is, most linux don't know what they want until they've been using it a while and even then laziness comes into it | 01:32 |
| === Grey_Loki considers a complete reinstallation of Xubuntu, so that it'll be nicer now he knows what he's doing | ||
| grazie | linux users* | 01:32 |
| h3sp4wn | pleia2: possibly but my opinions are based on what I have experienced | 01:33 |
| h3sp4wn | Arkh: I have a box with gentoo and the xfce fonts look alot better (still haven't got to the bottom of that) | 01:34 |
| pleia2 | not much experience with people who are new to linux then I guess | 01:34 |
| h3sp4wn | more than you might expect (from #ubuntu+1 and #kubuntu) | 01:35 |

| hyper_ch | TheSheep: btw, someone asked how you can browse the network in xfce? Does thunar have that capability? | 04:40 |
| Maximilian1st | no it does not have that yet. | 04:40 |
| Maximilian1st | Some use pyNeighborhood | 04:41 |

| TheSheep | Arkh_: it's a file manager and not a do-everything-I-need application -- they want to keep it simple | 04:42 |
| TheSheep | hyper_ch: fuse is probably the way to go | 04:43 |
| Arkh_ | oh I see :p | 04:43 |
| Maximilian1st | I use pyNeighborhood here and it is ok | 04:43 |

| mark007 | Thanks mrsno :) | 04:51 |
| mrsno | no prob :) | 04:52 |
| mark007 | Does much development usually happen during this last week? | 04:52 |
| mark007 | I've only been around for this one release cycle :-) | 04:52 |

| mark007 | Yeah, does much change past the release candidate? | 04:53 |
| mrsno | im not current with it all mark007 but i believe yesterdays iso had a problem and thats why we are waiting again | 04:54 |
| mrsno | but i believe kernel freeze happens before the release candidate | 04:54 |

| rici | when the install finished, all my firevixen disappeared | 06:26 |
| rici | and when i started them up again, there was this wierd thingy in the middle of the screen, | 06:26 |
| rici | and it gave me an error on an svg i had open from before when it re-opened the session. | 06:26 |
| rici | odd | 06:27 |

| qiuhou | ok | 08:11 |
| Grey_Loki | Sorry, that was for me :P | 08:11 |
| Grey_Loki | I don't know. | 08:11 |
| Arkh | qiuhou, it is a bit hard :p | 08:11 |
| Arkh | you have to edit the .xml file :p | 08:11 |
| qiuhou | ok, which one? | 08:11 |
| jlist | Arkh: thunar crashes quite a bit | 08:16 |
| Arkh | qiuhou, ~/.config/desktop/menu.xml | 08:16 |
| Arkh | jlist, it never crashed on my pc | 08:17 |
| jlist | hmm. ok | 08:17 |
| Grey_Loki | If I want decrease the load time of apps, aside from swapping out the processor, adding more RAM to my system would provide a noticeable increase, right? | 08:17 |
| jlist | just hope windows explorer is available on linux... | 08:18 |
| h3sp4wn | Grey_Loki: prelinking could help depending on what apps you want to make load faster | 08:18 |
| qiuhou | Arkh: yes, that's the main menu. Now there's a reference called <include type='system'...> | 08:18 |
| h3sp4wn | Grey_Loki: (if its kde apps and kde is prelinked then you don't have to load kdeinit) | 08:18 |
| Arkh | do you want to edit the things inside system qiuhou ? | 08:18 |
| qiuhou | which refers to another menu. That I want to change | 08:18 |
| Grey_Loki | h3sp4wn, Opera, firefox and terminal. | 08:19 |
| qiuhou | I'm missing some entries so I thought abount adding them | 08:19 |
| Grey_Loki | *the terminal | 08:19 |
| h3sp4wn | Grey_Loki: If you use something like urxvt the load time will be faster | 08:19 |
| Grey_Loki | I don't load the KDE...compatability thing (?) at boot anyways - just the gnome one. | 08:19 |
| Arkh | qiuhou, cd /usr/share/applications | 08:19 |
| h3sp4wn | Grey_Loki: I don't bother loading that | 08:20 |
| qiuhou | a lot of .desktop files | 08:20 |
| Arkh | some of them have NoDisplay=True | 08:21 |
| qiuhou | ok | 08:21 |
| Arkh | remove that | 08:21 |
| Grey_Loki | Hmm. | 08:21 |
| Arkh | there you can choose where the app should be located in the menu | 08:21 |
| Grey_Loki | If I don't load it, does that mean I can't use gnome apps | 08:21 |
| Grey_Loki | ? | 08:21 |
| qiuhou | I see | 08:21 |

| snarfer | Why would gcc not have executable funcitons? | 09:25 |

| rici | are you on a 64-bit platform? | 09:27 |
| rici | what are you trying to compile? | 09:27 |
| rici | that error is produced when the automake script cannot produce the simplest possible executable with the configured c compiler, which usually means the configuration is wrong. | 09:28 |
