| somerville32 | Nah | 04:35 |
| somerville32 | I'm just being silly. | 04:35 |

| cheeseboy | my period key doesnt work how i set to a different key? | 04:40 |
| Jester45 | xmodmap might help | 04:40 |
| mindframe | i cant get my panel to show up properly after messing around with dual display configuration... im using my laptop without another monitor and it wont show my panel. how do i get it back? | 04:40 |
| Jester45 | mindframe, check the process manager to make sure its not running | 04:41 |
| cheeseboy | Jester45, whats that? | 04:41 |
| mindframe | to make sure whats not running? | 04:41 |
| Jester45 | cheeseboy, it can map your keys | 04:41 |
| Jester45 | mindframe, the panel the process will be xfce4-panel | 04:41 |
| Jester45 | if its runnning then you need to config the panel if not thne you will first have to start it | 04:42 |
| mindframe | ah, its not running. why wouldnt it have started? | 04:42 |
| cheeseboy | Jester45, how i map my period key to right alt key? | 04:42 |
| Jester45 | cheeseboy, check google it should know be more help than me or try man xmodmap | 04:43 |
| cheeseboy | whys this so complicated | 04:43 |
| Ghostvirus | i have a cosmetic problem at the moment: for some reason, my mouse cursors don't show up. I get the default old Apple-like mouse cursor | 04:44 |
| Jester45 | mindframe, sometimes it just happens im not sure why, press alt+F2 then run xfce4-panel | 04:44 |
| mindframe | Jester45, if i saved the session while it was not running and logged out would it do that? | 04:44 |
| Jester45 | cheeseboy, because normal keyboards dont have a broken button | 04:44 |
| Jester45 | mindframe, yes | 04:44 |
| mindframe | im not fond of xfce's session saving feature | 04:44 |

| mindframe | got it, thanks Jester45 | 04:46 |
| mindframe | i guess its enabled by default and it saved some ancient session | 04:46 |
| Jester45 | mindframe, menu -> settings -> session and startup -> uncheck automatically save session on logout | 04:46 |
| cheeseboy | all i find is app settings keybord but its not there | 04:47 |

| kalikiana_ | Ghostvirus, known, common issue. Tried to restart/ reboot? | 04:47 |
| Jester45 | Ghostvirus, maybe a broken theme? or in compatible one | 04:47 |
| Ghostvirus | the themes themselves are fine. doesn't matter what theme i choose. i've tried restarting xfce, rebooting, etc. nothing works | 04:48 |
| Jester45 | mindframe, you can have the session chooser and make diffrent sessions. like a beryl one or non beryl one or somthing else | 04:49 |

| Ghostvirus | to me it feels like xubuntu doesn't get the same amount of attention that ubuntu/kubuntu get when it comes to polish | 05:50 |
| Jester45 | ubuntu has more updates because gnome gets more updates | 05:50 |

| Ghostvirus | i'm curious if it would perform better or worse than a regular xubuntu install | 05:52 |

| Jester45 | its was soming thing with sheep art | 06:15 |
| Jester45 | Ghostvirus, have you tried gimpshop? | 06:16 |
| Jester45 | it makes the gimp more like photoshop | 06:16 |
| Ghostvirus | i tried gimpshop, but it's really just gimp with the menus rearranged and all that | 06:16 |
| Jester45 | yes, to be more like photoshop | 06:17 |
| Jester45 | its a good way to transition | 06:17 |
| Jester45 | so you can first learn the tools, then layout | 06:17 |
| Ghostvirus | maybe, but photoshop has too many features that gimp doesn't have for me to switch over | 06:17 |
| Ghostvirus | like bundling layers, for one | 06:18 |
| Ghostvirus | trust me, if i could drop photoshop for something else, i would | 06:18 |
| Jester45 | grouping them? | 06:18 |
| Ghostvirus | yeah, i could figure out a way to group layers | 06:19 |
| Ghostvirus | *couldn't | 06:19 |
| Jester45 | im not sure if you can | 06:19 |
| === Jester45 likes xpaint better | ||
| Ghostvirus | pixel was pretty much a photoshop clone for various OSes, but development seems to have ground to a halt | 06:20 |
| === Metatron is now known as Chikubu | ||
| Chikubu | anyone use xara? | 06:24 |
| Ghostvirus | no, how is it? | 06:25 |
| Chikubu | lol i was wondering the same, im downloading now, i have another faster system im still configuring to try it on | 06:29 |
| Chikubu | the open source version is still .70 beta or thereabouts, was hoping for input | 06:30 |
| Chikubu | be nice to find a good illustrator replacement | 06:30 |
| Chikubu | claims to be MUCH faster | 06:30 |
| Ghostvirus | yeah i don't do any vector graphics work, but i've seen some amazing stuff done with inkscape | 06:31 |
| Ghostvirus | alright folks, bed time for me | 06:38 |

| Jester45 | could anyone suggest a version of xubuntu for me to set up for someone that doesnt do much other than mail and some web browsing. i dont want to have him upgrading to a new version so i was thinking dapper, but then i tought when it does loose support its going to be really outdated so i figured he could get feisty and i could upgrade it every other version. | 03:37 |
| pleia2 | if they're just doing mail and some web browsing, does the out-datedness of dapper matter that much? | 03:38 |
| case__ | i would suggest the last release available (so, feisty) | 03:39 |
| Jester45 | i guess not, but this is the first of linux he will have and i would like to show him what i like best. the auto updates and easy upgrades to the new version | 03:40 |
| pleia2 | probably want to use feisty then | 03:41 |
| case__ | there is a real gap in the features compared to dapper, the upgrade to a new version is a non issue thanks to apt... for anybody with less than 100 box to manage, i would suggest the last available. always. | 03:41 |
| case__ | but if it's a first linux experience, why xubuntu? | 03:41 |
| Jester45 | well... i need to burn a live cd and make sure hi hardware is supported. I dont feel like troubleshooting it for him | 03:41 |
| case__ | (i'm not trolling) | 03:41 |
| === Chikubu [n=Chikubu@205.163.99.237] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Jester45 | case__, first, i like xubuntu and i know it. second, it was my first experience and i cant seem to use any other for a long time with out coming back to xubuntu | 03:43 |
| case__ | from my point of view (and experience with average joe), xubuntu is fine for people who were using old school unix window manager and what to keep that kind of look and feel in a modern environnement. but for people comming from windows or mac, i will go with ubuntu, if the hardware allow it. | 03:45 |
| Jester45 | im not to sure of his hardware, but i can guess that it will be a but sluggish on ubuntu | 03:45 |
| case__ | that's a point. | 03:46 |
| Jester45 | i *think* he is running winME | 03:46 |
| Jester45 | i know it has the classic look. and its not xp | 03:46 |
| case__ | you know that even with xubuntu you need 256MB of ram to go with the live CD installation... | 03:47 |
| Jester45 | he wants me to try to speed it up some because its gotten slow. so i need to make some discspace and defrag it. | 03:47 |
| Jester45 | so i thought i would ask him if he would go with linux | 03:48 |
| Jester45 | yea... i want to test with live cd and install with alternative. (im much faster in alt than live cd) | 03:48 |
| case__ | ok | 03:48 |
| Jester45 | i think he has 256 or somewhere arong that | 03:48 |
| Jester45 | i dont think it has 512 because its not that new and im pretty sure he didnt upgrade it | 03:49 |
| case__ | but if he use winME, he may have 128 as well... | 03:50 |
| Jester45 | i dont think it does just from using it but i will have to look | 03:51 |
| === ryan__ [n=ryan@dsl-194-158.jax.centurytel.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| ryan__ | feisty has better hardware support than dapper right | 03:52 |
| ryan__ | im Jester45 | 03:52 |
| ryan__ | lost connection | 03:53 |
| case__ | and if i recall right, there were some uge performance improvements in gtk/pango/etc... after the dapper release, so feisty should go faster even on old hardware | 03:54 |
| ryan__ | i have to disagree | 03:55 |
| ryan__ | i think xubuntu was faster on dapper | 03:55 |
| ryan__ | hehe #ubuntu has more people than #debian in it | 03:56 |
| ryan__ | and gentoo but... thats a totaly diffrent distro | 03:56 |
| case__ | ok, i haven't tried the dapper version of xubuntu | 03:56 |

| ruks | type the whole file name?cuz its really long lol | 04:23 |
| ruks | with or without spaces? | 04:23 |
| case__ | i think you can drag and drop the file to the terminal and it will write the full path by itself | 04:24 |
| case__ | by the way, yes you need the full path | 04:25 |
| case__ | or you can right click in the directerory of the file and choose "open a terminal here" | 04:26 |
| ruks | its not workin :( | 04:29 |
| case__ | you're not doing it right :) | 04:30 |
| ruks | lol sorry kinda new to all this | 04:30 |
| ruks | i cant drag it in there,and i cant right cick and get a terminal option | 04:31 |
| case__ | move it to your desktop if it heps | 04:31 |
| case__ | helps | 04:31 |
| somerville32 | Whats up? | 04:31 |
| ryan__ | you can use tab completion | 04:33 |
| Jester45 | so /path/to/bin/fillealdsjfgneriugnlfgknfglafdgafg.bin you can just use tab to finish the path | 04:34 |
| ruks | ok case ur way it says empty after i put in the file name andhit enter and put my password in | 04:35 |
| ruks | it says :empty after the file name | 04:35 |
| ruks | so whats that mean? | 04:39 |
| case__ | why have you typed so it asked you your password??? | 04:48 |
| case__ | (this sentence means nothing :))) | 04:48 |
| ruks | i type sudo file then the file name | 04:48 |
| case__ | you don't need to use sudo | 04:49 |
| ruks | oh | 04:49 |
| case__ | $ file "/path/to/file withe spaces.bin" | 04:49 |

| illu45 | http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/feisty/release/ for Feisty | 07:40 |
| illu45 | Just download the torrent file | 07:40 |
| aquo | no, i search the garminate input. | 07:41 |

| aquo | the seeds. | 07:42 |
| laserbeak43 | the seeds? | 07:42 |
| laserbeak43 | torrent seeds? | 07:43 |
| laserbeak43 | i think the torrent client will show you the seeds | 07:43 |
| laserbeak43 | not sure what you mean tho | 07:43 |
| laserbeak43 | sorry | 07:43 |
| aquo | no, the rule files you need for generating package lists for remastering the install cds | 07:43 |
| === musiq [n=musiq@d54C3A40C.access.telenet.be] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| laserbeak43 | oh i don't know anything about that sorry :) | 07:44 |
| musiq | Which program (which fits on a boot disk) should i use to format my entire hard disk, and than create partitions for ubuntu? | 07:44 |
| aquo | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeedManagement | 07:44 |
| illu45 | musiq, the ubuntu LiveCD comes with gparted, which should allow you to format your disk and create partitions | 07:45 |
| illu45 | ...I think the Xubuntu LiveCD does too, but I'm not entirely certain, actually. | 07:46 |
| laserbeak43 | i installed from the livecd | 07:46 |
| illu45 | Does the Xubuntu liveCD have gparted as well, or does it use something else? | 07:47 |
| laserbeak43 | aquo: so you found it? | 07:47 |
| musiq | And does the Xubuntu alternate-cd have gparted as well? (that(s rhe one i have) | 07:47 |
| aquo | no, thats for ubuntu | 07:47 |
| laserbeak43 | illu45: i don't know what it is but it's dead easy to make a dual boot with it | 07:47 |
| laserbeak43 | even imported my xp files | 07:47 |
| === luisbg [n=d33p@156.145.217.87.dynamic.jazztel.es] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| aquo | there must be some seeds for xubuntu too, but i am not too sure. | 07:48 |
| laserbeak43 | aquo: i think the packages are the same, the only diff is the window manage AFAIK | 07:48 |
| aquo | laserbeak43: the repository is the same, but the content of the install-cds differ | 07:48 |
| aquo | i want to remaster ubuntu cds with my own package set. | 07:49 |
| laserbeak43 | oh i see your point | 07:49 |
| aquo | but documentation is cruel | 07:49 |
| laserbeak43 | hehe | 07:49 |
| aquo | is there something like an xubuntu developer channel? | 07:50 |
| aquo | -n | 07:50 |
| laserbeak43 | no idea | 07:51 |

| kalikiana | laserbeak43, You're possibly one of the people who don't notice frequencies that much. I think not everyone is sensible about 10Hz changes like me. :/ | 08:03 |
| laserbeak43 | i notice them sometimes | 08:03 |
| laserbeak43 | a lot lately actualy | 08:03 |
| laserbeak43 | but my eyes are really bad anyway | 08:03 |
| kalikiana | My eyes hurt with anything < 75 Hz, 85 Hz is about okay. | 08:04 |

| Jester45 | or somthing close to 5 mins | 08:48 |
| laserbeak43 | cause i'm tyring to install something with sh and it eventualy asks me for my password but when i put it itn it's wrong for some reason | 08:49 |

| laserbeak43 | and the password works for everything else | 08:51 |

| kali|c | laserbeak43, You *could* configure gksu to ask for a root pass. :P | 08:54 |
| laserbeak43 | how would i do that? | 08:55 |
| kali|c | laserbeak43, You should read the manpage of gksu or something, I don't know that by heart. ;) | 09:00 |
