| CoRnJuLiOx | hey, i've got a little problem w/firefox. i just switched themes in xubuntu from whatever the default was to xfce4-dusk, and firefox ended up changing the backgrounds of all the websites i visit to black, and the text to white. now i switched it to another theme and the backgrounds are white, and the text is black, but none of the pages are the color they're supposed to be. any ideas? | 01:20 |

| coldsteal | is there a different way? | 05:36 |

| Catoptromancy | just a box in firefox | 07:10 |

| Pumpernickel | There's a totem one, a vlc one, and I'm not entirely sure what else. | 07:10 |

| anthony_ | Yep, I'll change it. | 08:10 |
| hyper_ch | anthony_: a folder/file starting with a "." in linux is a hidden file/folder | 08:11 |
| TheSheep | anthony_: you can run thunar as root by typing 'gksu Thunar' | 08:11 |

| TheSheep | anthony_: you just need to unpack your themes there, they should appear eitheri n the user interface settings or in window manager settings (depending on the theme kind) | 08:14 |
| TheSheep | anthony_: is this a gtk2 theme or xfce theme? | 08:14 |

| anthony_ | TheSheep xfce | 08:15 |
| hyper_ch | Xzite: that is strange... but for installation I'd rather download the alternate cd and not the desktop one | 08:15 |

| anthony_ | Okay, I see. It shows up differently when I'm running as root. confusing. | 08:30 |
| TheSheep | anthony_: ah, that's because root has his home directory somewhere else | 08:31 |
| TheSheep | anthony_: but you don't need root to copy to your home -- only to /usr/share/themes | 08:31 |

| TheSheep | artabrahao: logical volume management | 08:39 |
| TheSheep | !lvm | 08:39 |
| ubotu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO | 08:39 |
| hyper_ch | TheSheep: no? It was a ship simulation game... you start with some money.. buy some ship... repair it... ship goods around the oceans... avoid storms and icebergs.... | 08:39 |
| hyper_ch | TheSheep: earn money.... buy better ships.... | 08:39 |
| TheSheep | hyper_ch: I played Wolfpack | 08:39 |
| hyper_ch | TheSheep: most money you got from San Francisco to Karachi shippings arms and weapons | 08:40 |
| artabrahao | When I type !lvm appears event not found | 08:40 |
| TheSheep | artabrahao: that's not a command, I just wanted ubotu to show you a link | 08:40 |
| anthony_ | TheSheep the folder that I placed into the .themes directory is named Aqualooks-0.1.0. It contains a bunch of files and a folder named Themes which contains Makefile.am and Makefile.in and 3 folders with the names of three themes. Each of those folders contains a Gtk-2.0 folder with a single file inside. Is that the way it's supposed to be and have I put it in the right place? | 08:41 |
| hyper_ch | TheSheep: the first Amiga Version in 1986 | 08:41 |
| TheSheep | artabrahao: try 'lvm lvs' | 08:42 |
| TheSheep | anthony_: no, you have downloaded some sources, you only want the contents of the 'Themes' directory in your .themes | 08:42 |
| anthony_ | Okay. Thanks. | 08:43 |
| TheSheep | hyper_ch: I was 6 years old then | 08:43 |
| hyper_ch | TheSheep: well, that was when it was released... | 08:43 |
| hyper_ch | TheSheep: but I think I played it a few years later | 08:43 |
| hyper_ch | so, I'm "off" now :) | 08:44 |
| TheSheep | hyper_ch: I think I got the first pc in nineties | 08:44 |
| anthony_ | TheSheep So I should put the contents of the themes directory into .themes, including or not including the two Makefiles? | 08:44 |
| artabrahao | <TheSheep> no volume groups foung | 08:44 |
| artabrahao | <TheSheep> no volume groups found | 08:44 |
| TheSheep | anthony_: the 'gtkrc' files should go to .themes/<name of the theme>/gtkrc | 08:44 |
| TheSheep | anthony_: and all other files accordingly | 08:45 |
| TheSheep | anthony_: ignore any files in directories above that | 08:45 |
| TheSheep | artabrahao: ok, so you're not using lvm | 08:45 |
| artabrahao | <TheSheep> and now? | 08:46 |
| TheSheep | artabrahao: it should appear in the user interface menu | 08:47 |
| TheSheep | hyper_ch: found this: http://jmcpherson.org/screen.html | 08:47 |
| anthony_ | The Sheep Okay, the way the gtkrc files are now is .themes/nameoftheme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. So what I should do is remove the gtkrc file from the gtk-2.0 folder and put it into .themes/name of theme, right or wrong? | 08:48 |
| TheSheep | anthony_: ah, no, it's good now | 08:48 |
| TheSheep | anthony_: sorry, forgot about the gtk-2.0 directory | 08:48 |
| hyper_ch | TheSheep: thx | 08:48 |
| artabrahao | <TheSheep> but I cant install in terminal mode | 08:48 |
| TheSheep | artabrahao: sorry, I confused you with anthony_ :) | 08:49 |

| hyper_ch | leobloom: yeah, should be the same | 09:37 |
| test3r | I'm having CUPS problems =( I added my printer, & it saw it & it was good. Then I tried to print from inkscape and it started to send a 11MB postscript thru the air - LoL so I tried to cancel it from the winblows box? The job wont go away | 09:37 |
| anthony_ | TheSheep, when I rightclick on the deb package, the default application to open it with is "GDebi Package installer." is this correct? | 09:37 |

| anthony_ | hyper_ch, it tells me: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libsdl-image1.2 | 09:38 |
| hyper_ch | anthony_: then you need to install that first | 09:39 |

| hyper_ch | anthony_: download it | 09:40 |
| anthony_ | Will do. | 09:40 |

| hyper_ch | anthony_: get all those: libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libsmpeg0 tuxtype tuxtype-data | 09:41 |
| hyper_ch | test3r: no clue... tried rebooting? | 09:41 |
| hyper_ch | or disable cups and starting it again? | 09:41 |
| anthony_ | hyper_ch sheesh. | 09:41 |
| test3r | there we go ok ok i had to rebot the winblows box it seems. no i was able to cancel the job from the printers box. now lets see if when i send a test page it says its sending it as job 1 or job 4 | 09:42 |
| hyper_ch | anthony_: well... if you had internet on that computer apt-get, aptitude, adept, synpatic would take care of that... | 09:42 |
| anthony_ | Yep. I know. as it is I have to download, transfer to flash drive, eject, plug into other machine, transfer, install. What fun. | 09:43 |
| test3r | it says its job 4. but i hear my printer getting ready. | 09:43 |
| hyper_ch | test3r: dunno... my printer works fine when I tell him to print something | 09:44 |
| hyper_ch | test3r: it's neatly attached to the router :) | 09:44 |
| test3r | its just sitting at 64k | 09:44 |
| test3r | im printing thru SAMBA and winblows shared printer | 09:45 |
| test3r | this is what it did last try- it sent first 64k then it was like - J/K | 09:45 |
| test3r | er, Trying to print. it's not doing much of anything. | 09:46 |
| test3r | maybe my driver neds switch. there is a 1300 and a 1310 and mine is lik the 1325 or something perhaps i try root driver | 09:47 |

| Chikubu | ne1 running xbuntu on SLOOOooower macnhine? | 11:29 |
| Jester45 | yes | 11:31 |
| Jester45 | its 400mhz 256mb ram | 11:32 |
| Jester45 | TheSheep, has a lot slow one running | 11:32 |
| Chikubu | hows it do? i got even older | 11:32 |

| Chikubu | 486 | 11:32 |
| godless | 486 is probably pushing it a bit... maybe damnsmalllinux? | 11:33 |
| Chikubu | i have 192 ram but right now bios sees only 128 | 11:33 |
| somerville32 | 486mhz? | 11:33 |
| godless | i486 | 11:33 |
| Chikubu | 486 chipset 100mhz | 11:33 |
| godless | Chikubu: What do you want to do with the machine? | 11:34 |
| godless | For desktop use, web browsing etc you will find it pretty obsolete I think | 11:34 |
| Chikubu | was gonna try dsl-n but was a hard install, machine has problems dead cd dead floppy | 11:34 |
| Chikubu | was gonna use as wireless print server | 11:34 |
| godless | but you could turn it into a router/server etc... | 11:34 |
| godless | yeah | 11:34 |
| Chikubu | light browsing | 11:34 |
| godless | maybe in lynx :) | 11:35 |
| Chikubu | hopefully run win95/98 windoz stuff | 11:35 |
| Chikubu | it boots 98 now, but is unstable, wanted more stability as print server | 11:35 |
| Chikubu | gonna install linux by putting drive in another machine then transplant | 11:36 |
| Chikubu | wanted xubuntu's install perks, managefree space on partitions ect so i wouldnt have to spend ages getting eveything right | 11:36 |
| godless | http://www.ipt.ntnu.no/~knutb/linux486/linux486.html | 11:36 |
| Chikubu | thnx | 11:37 |
| godless | xubuntu is probably not going to be much good on a 486 without a lot of tweaking, but you do have enough ram... | 11:37 |
| Chikubu | just has to sit there and print | 11:38 |
| Chikubu | look around web some be good | 11:38 |
| Chikubu | run the kids older win9598 games be excellant, but can boot to 98 if have to | 11:38 |
| Chikubu | otherwise im drilling lots of holes and running wire or buying wireless print server | 11:39 |
| Chikubu | printer is wide format printer only place in house for room is in loft | 11:39 |
| Chikubu | ease of install is why i wanna try xbuntu, dsl-n would need loadln or install in another box as cd's floopy is dead | 11:40 |
| Chikubu | loadlin | 11:40 |

| Chikubu | guess ill try, if too slow fight with dsl-n, looked at monkey able to run on 386 but the being made in chez is odd | 11:42 |
| TheSheep | Chikubu: I recently tried archlinux and it's pretty good on weak boxes -- and you can install it from any other runnung linux, including dsl or ubuntu | 11:42 |
| TheSheep | Chikubu: but it requires a linux experience | 11:42 |
| Chikubu | getting the boot manager and partitioning right is the hang up for me, linux uses more than one partition some times, swap files ect | 11:44 |
| TheSheep | Chikubu: well, if you have loads of ram you don't have to use swap | 11:44 |
| Chikubu | maybe ill use xubuntu to get it right and then step down to dsl-n | 11:44 |
| TheSheep | Chikubu: there is a nice guide on partitioning | 11:45 |
| TheSheep | !partition | Chikubu | 11:45 |
| ubotu | Chikubu: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter | 11:45 |
| Chikubu | have problem getting bios to see all the ram right now, ill get around it eventualy | 11:45 |
| Chikubu | mount i can do, just not sure what parts i need, there is a journaling partition too i think? | 11:45 |
| TheSheep | Chikubu: I had a box that used two kinds of slots for the memory, but you could only use one kind at a time -- if yuo inserted ram in both, funny things happened | 11:46 |
| Chikubu | that a chan command? | 11:46 |
| Chikubu | !partition | Chikubu | 11:46 |
| TheSheep | Chikubu: yes | 11:46 |
| TheSheep | !bot | Chikubu | 11:46 |
| ubotu | Chikubu: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 11:46 |
| Chikubu | !partition | 11:46 |
| ubotu | Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter | 11:46 |
| TheSheep | Chikubu: it won;t repeat itself too often though | 11:46 |
| Chikubu | i have a wad of ram to try, i think i had it recognizing all once b4 | 11:47 |
| Chikubu | can only boot to linux from live cd atm | 11:48 |

| ibb | i am getting the error E: (program folder) : unable to connect to `abiword | 12:14 |
| ibb | what does that mean? | 12:14 |
| ibb | that is while trying to install a software package | 12:14 |
| TheSheep | ibb: try 'sudo apt-get install abiword' in the terminal instead | 12:16 |
| ibb | tried but it is already installed, it is saying | 12:16 |
| ibb | abiword-gnome is already installed | 12:16 |
| TheSheep | you don't see it in the menu? | 12:16 |
| ibb | i do | 12:16 |
| ibb | i have a compact flash as the HD | 12:18 |
| TheSheep | ibb: so what's wrong? | 12:19 |
| ibb | it does not allow for upgrades of installs, even though it downloads the stuff | 12:19 |

| Ktron | Is there a way to make the xfce panel ~10 pixels short of full width? (or 1% or whatever) | 12:20 |
| TheSheep | Ktron: no, you only have two options, full width or expenanded to the contents | 12:21 |
| Ktron | TheSheep: hm... that's too bad... I'll have to look at the Task List item some more and see if I can tell it to not group as quickly, maybe that'll work instead | 12:22 |
| TheSheep | Ktron: I think you can force the size of the task list instead | 12:22 |
| TheSheep | Ktron: but not sure, not using it | 12:23 |
| Ktron | TheSheep: just curious, what do you use? | 12:24 |
