[09:16] (homebrewcider/#xubuntu) I had it set up so that it would boot directly to windows, for wife and kids, and i would start linux through the f8 key on boot
[09:16] <aussieman> i upgrade last night - got a new firefox but its a bit unstable - anyon else had issues?
[09:16] (homebrewcider/#xubuntu) ok, I'm following the guide and getting somewheere
[09:17] (MajorPayne/#xubuntu) aussieman: Upgrade to what?
[09:18] <aussieman> apt-get upgarde im usinf fiesty sorry
[09:19] <MajorPayne> Ahh.  Ok.  I thought you were talking about a dist-upgrade.  As for the Firefox issue, I'm not sure.
[09:20] <aussieman> its gone all stuck. tabs close and open very slow
[09:20] <aussieman> i had no prob before ....
[09:20] <aussieman> ill just wait to see if someone fixes it soon and use galeon or ? in the meantime if i get annoyed
[09:21] <MajorPayne> I use Epiphany.  Maybe someone in #ubuntu knows more about it.  That's a general issue.
[09:21] <homebrewcider> hey guys, I'm back I think it went well, guess I'll find out hey?
[09:21] <mkquist> MajorPayne: that a browser?
[09:22] <homebrewcider> epiphany is a browser yes
[09:22] <MajorPayne> mkquist: Yea.  It's the default Gnome browser.
[09:22] <aussieman> yeh ill ask if i get pised off more ... i like galeon more than epiphany it has a couple of little things epi dont have
[09:22] <aussieman> thanks for answering MajorPayne
[09:22] <aussieman> homebrewcider, and you too
[09:22] <MajorPayne> aussieman: I may have answered, but I didn't help you much :-|
[09:22] <homebrewcider> rebooting now, fingers crossed
[09:22] <aussieman> oh answering is half the battle - i mean if we talk we find a way ....
[09:23] <homebrewcider> thanx guys
[09:23] <MajorPayne> homebrewcider: Goodluck.
[09:23] <mkquist> didnt realize that Epiphany was the default... lol
[09:23] <aussieman> yeh but galeon is better :-)
[09:23] <MajorPayne> mkquist: It's the Gnome default, not the Ubuntu default.
[09:23] <mkquist> ic
[09:23] <mkquist> that woruld be the reason then
[09:24] <MajorPayne> I don't know about Galeon, I never tryed it.
[09:24] <MajorPayne> mkquist: It's a bit faster on startup I find.  That's the only reason I use it.
[09:24] <MajorPayne> Sometimes I can sit there for a little while waiting for Firefox.
[09:24] <MajorPayne> But it doesn't have all the features of Firefox.
[09:25] <MajorPayne> But it does use the same rendering engine as Firefox, so it should be able to display all the web pages that work with Firefox.
[09:26] <mkquist> was just reading about it on wiki
[09:26] <mikebarta> wireless question?
[09:27] <mikebarta> looks like xubuntu doesn't install wireless support out of the 'box' yes?
[09:28] <MajorPayne> mikebarta: It does have wireless support.
[09:28] <MajorPayne> Try launching nm-applet.
[09:28] <homebrewcider> hey guys
[09:28] <MajorPayne> If that works for you, add it to your startup applications.
[09:28] <homebrewcider> all good
[09:28] <MajorPayne> homebrewcider: Great!
[09:29] <homebrewcider> can I swear here?
[09:29] <MajorPayne> homebrewcider: No.
[09:29] <homebrewcider> you guys are f****** legends
[09:29] <homebrewcider> cheers
[09:29] <MajorPayne> homebrewcider: At least that is what ubotu says :-P
[09:29] <MajorPayne> !ohmy
[09:29] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[09:29] <MajorPayne> see?

[09:29] <MajorPayne> Yea, I know.
[09:29] <homebrewcider> so as not to offend
[09:29] <homebrewcider> thanks a million guys
[09:30] <homebrewcider> ok, other work to do
[09:30] <homebrewcider> see yas
[09:30] <mkquist> homebrewcider: ood to hear g/l
[09:30] <mikebarta> hmm.wirelrss.opts isn't there maybe detection issue
[09:31] <MajorPayne> mikebarta: Maybe this will help:

[09:31] <mikebarta> thx
[09:36] <MajorPayne> What is the volume control applet used in Gnome called?  I would like to use it in Xubuntu.
[09:47] <mkquist> MajorPayne: ur not talking about alsamixer?
[09:47] <MajorPayne> mkquist: alsamixer is nice, but I don't like to open a terminal every time.
[09:48] <MajorPayne> I am talking about the applet, kinda like nm-applet
[09:48] <mkquist> ic - having probs with this old machine and sound right now myself...  idk that one sorry
[09:49] <MajorPayne> Ok.  I will continue to use alsamixer.  I am sure I will figure it out later.
[12:27] <mrmonday> can you get beryl or compiz fusion on xubuntu?
[02:21] <Pumpernickel> mrmonday: Yes.
[02:21] <mrmonday> thanks
[02:22] <Pumpernickel> MajorPayne: Xubuntu has an almost identical applet - have you had problems with it?
[02:58] <djape> O_o
[03:34] <VladimirMelo> Pumpernickel: do you know if all xfce po files are available in launchpad?
[03:50] <MajorPayne> Pumpernickel: Sorry, I just got back.  I havn't found the Xfce applet.
[04:16] <boarder-winterma> hello
[04:17] <boarder-winterma> my problem is in the top line of each program where the name is in, in the top left corner is a little o which should not be there
[04:17] <boarder-winterma> how to get it away
[04:17] <boarder-winterma> installation 1h old
[04:19] <TheSheep> boarder-winterma: settings->window manager settings
[04:19] <TheSheep> boarder-winterma: drag and drop it
[04:19] <TheSheep> boarder-winterma: in the 'button layout' section
[04:20] <TheSheep> boarder-winterma: I assume you mean the 'stick' button
[04:20] <boarder-winterma> no this is no button
[04:20] <boarder-winterma> simply an o
[04:20] <boarder-winterma> you can't click on it ;)
[04:23] <boarder-winterma> i am going to upload screenshot
[04:29] <boarder-winterma> http://rapidshare.com/files/46737534/snapshot1.png.html
[04:34] <MajorPayne> boarder-winterma: You will have to find a better site to host that.  It says something about meeting the maximum download for free users.
[04:34] <boarder-winterma> oO
[04:35] <boarder-winterma> ok try annother one :)
[04:35] <MajorPayne> boarder-winterma: Not that I would know how to fix your problem.  I am just telling you what happended when I went to that site.
[04:36] <boarder-winterma> omg i thought rapidshare would be good :/
[04:36] <boarder-winterma> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NBIJ8QN0
[04:36] <boarder-winterma> try this one ;)
[04:38] <TheSheep> boarder-winterma: that's a button, just like the 'maximize widnow' and 'close' ones
[04:38] <mrmonday> wheres the "enable desktop effects" option in xubuntu?
[04:38] <TheSheep> boarder-winterma: and you can configure it in the window manager settings
[04:38] <zials> why didn't you use something like imageshack to host the screenshot?
[04:38] <boarder-winterma> don't know :/
[04:56] <npnfun> I am unable to resize the window using the top edge.
[04:56] <npnfun> what should I do to achieve this.
[04:59] <TheSheep> npnfun: xfwm4 doesn't do that
[05:04] <bambam_> hi
[05:05] <bambam_> i'm experiencing problems with avi-files and mplayer on ppc, it's just breakin on illegal instructions
[05:05] <bambam_> anyone familiar with this problem
[05:05] <bambam_> ?
[05:05] <TheSheep> bambam_: you might want to ask on #mplayer
[05:07] <bambam_> TheSheep: the package comes from multiverse
[05:16] <npnfun> TheSheep; any alternatives if xfwm4 does n't support the feature.
[05:17] <TheSheep> npnfun: of course, you can use the gnome's metacity, for example
[05:19] <npnfun> I am using xubuntu for performance and it is working well.  Does metacity will show any impact on this.
[05:20] <TheSheep> npnfun: yes
[05:21] <TheSheep> npnfun: it's fatter than xfwm
[05:21] <npnfun> ok.
[05:21] <npnfun> The quick starter option in openoffice is grayed(disabled).  I am unable to enable it.
[05:22] <npnfun> do you know any thing about it.
[05:22] <npnfun> It is working fine in ubuntu.
[05:40] <maxamillion> TheSheep: metacity is faster than xfwm?
[05:41] <TheSheep> fatter
[05:41] <TheSheep> more fat
[05:41] <TheSheep> obese
[05:46] <maxamillion> ah
[05:56] <godless> Uhm.
[05:57] <godless> I get breaks between mp3's during playback... like two songs that should blend ... don't. I tried different players but that's not it. Any thoughts?
[05:58] <godless> it's not a 2 second break. Just enough so as to be not quite right.
[06:00] <TheSheep> godless: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapless_playback
[08:07] <godless> time for me to get mpd going I guess
[08:07] <godless> even though I'm only rocking one working pc at the moment :)
[08:09] <elbing> rocking all over the world :p
