| Camish_ | crimsun: Thanks. Do you know of any program with a gui? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| crimsun | not offhand, perhaps google does. | 00:00 |
| Camish_ | Any suggestion what to search for? | 00:01 |
| XxValetexX | omg | 00:08 |
| XxValetexX | I love xubuntu =~~~~~~ | 00:08 |
| XxValetexX | Its much better then ubuntu and kubuntu | 00:09 |
| XxValetexX | xfce beats gnome and kde I love it =~~~ | 00:09 |
| slow-motion | n8 | 00:17 |
| defendguin | i'm gonna try to install on a 150 mhz processor with 128 mb of ram this should be interesting | 01:01 |
| XxValetexX | hello | 01:14 |
| AzMoo | Hey, I'm trying to install a Xubuntu LTSP server, but on installation it tells me that Building the LTSP chroot has failed. In syslog it gives the message: "Couldn't find package linux-image-386". Any ideas why? | 01:19 |
| AzMoo | oddly enough, I just tried it again and it worked beautifully. No changes, all I did was press OK on the error and selected the menu option again. | 01:27 |
| XwarlokX82 | weird..probably just some random glitch | 01:28 |
| AzMoo | Maybe something to do with LVM? | 01:28 |
| AzMoo | although, seems to be a known issue. | 01:28 |
| XwarlokX82 | maybe so | 01:38 |
| XxValetexX | hello | 01:40 |
| XxValetexX | Can anybody tell me how to increase the size of the fonts in xubuntu? | 01:40 |
| XxValetexX | they are currently very small and hard to read | 01:40 |
| XwarlokX82 | Applications>Settings>User Interface | 01:41 |
| XwarlokX82 | Off to the right of that window there will be a font type and size selector, you can adjust/change it there. | 01:41 |
| XxValetexX | XwarlokX82: I tried that, it chanches the size of some fonts | 01:42 |
| XxValetexX | XwarlokX82: but when I opne firefox or irc, the font of the text remain small | 01:42 |
| XwarlokX82 | XxValetexX, are you talking about the font in irc? | 01:42 |
| XwarlokX82 | if using xchat, go to settings>preferences and you can change it there by clicking on the text box selection. | 01:43 |
| XxValetexX | XwarlokX82: no, the title of the windows increase | 01:43 |
| XxValetexX | XwarlokX82: but the text inside the applications, any applicantion, doesnt | 01:43 |
| XxValetexX | XwarlokX82: I'll try restarting and see if t works | 01:44 |
| XxValetexX | be right back | 01:44 |
| XxValetexX | x_0 | 01:49 |
| XxValetexX | hey people | 02:01 |
| XxValetexX | does anybody else have problems setting font size in xubuntu? | 02:01 |
| XxValetexX | Fraeon: hello | 02:04 |
| Fraeon | So... my internet connection refuses to work at boot and needs an ifup/ifdown to work properly | 02:04 |
| Fraeon | And it's driving me nuts | 02:04 |
| XxValetexX | Fraeon: I think most ppl here are idling x_0 | 02:04 |
| Fraeon | I don't mind | 02:05 |
| Fraeon | It's 4 am and I can do a log search if someone gives me a clue what could be causing this | 02:05 |
| XxValetexX | Fraeon: man I need to get to know commands in terminal and config files | 02:05 |
| XxValetexX | I am completely new to this linux stuff | 02:05 |
| XxValetexX | but so far I had a lot of problems that I think come from DEs | 02:06 |
| XxValetexX | >_> | 02:06 |
| Fraeon | My problem isn't DE related | 02:06 |
| Fraeon | It's network related | 02:06 |
| XxValetexX | Fraeon: its like, when I use KDE theres a set of problems, with Gnome another, and now another with Xfce | 02:06 |
| Fraeon | I think it has to do with the pcnet32 driver | 02:06 |
| XxValetexX | :( | 02:06 |
| XxValetexX | Fraeon: do you use Xubuntu as well? | 02:07 |
| Fraeon | Yup | 02:07 |
| XxValetexX | =} | 02:07 |
| XxValetexX | Fraeon: just by curiiosity, did you have problems with your fonts? | 02:07 |
| Fraeon | What sort of problems are we talking about? | 02:08 |
| XxValetexX | I set the font size in configurations | 02:08 |
| XxValetexX | the size of a few fonts change but | 02:08 |
| XxValetexX | hmm how can I explain it...the size of fonts inside applications remains the same | 02:08 |
| XxValetexX | the menus change etc, but the size of the fonts in irc, firefox etc remains dman small | 02:09 |
| XxValetexX | sans 9 I believe its the default x_x | 02:09 |
| XxValetexX | Fraeon: apparently few ppl use xubuntu :S | 02:10 |
| XxValetexX | so I havent been able tto sort it out on forums etc xD | 02:11 |
| Fraeon | http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2006/12/xubuntu-more-on-fixing-fonts-problems.html | 02:11 |
| Fraeon | http://davyd.livejournal.com/197752.html | 02:11 |
| Fraeon | Requires terminal use but... | 02:12 |
| XxValetexX | Fraeon: oh ty =D | 02:12 |
| Fraeon | Riiiiight, so it has to do with the routing table not being filled properly | 02:19 |
| Fraeon | Really, you could write a book on these problems | 02:19 |
| Groovestix | hey folks! here's an easy question. How can I make Xubuntu not go to sleep (turn off monior automatically) ? | 03:30 |
| soldats | ive been trying to figure this out for a while and i have no clue | 03:43 |
| soldats | its the only thing that pisses me off, i was told to try gnome-power-manager but it didnt work | 03:44 |
| AzMoo | You have to modify xorg.conf and set a few options to 0 | 03:47 |
| AzMoo | Option "blank time" "0", "standby time" "suspend time" and "off time" | 03:47 |
| AzMoo | Under the ServerFlags section | 03:47 |
| soldats | oh man thanks i havent messed with xorg in such a long time i totaly spaced the possibility of it. well i hope it works thanks | 03:48 |
| AzMoo | soldats: no prob. Remember to restart X! | 04:03 |
| soldats | yuh | 04:03 |
| AzMoo | People always forget that one ;) | 04:03 |
| misterblonde2517 | hi, i was wondering if anyone would be able to help me install compiz fusion/emerald | 04:26 |
| TheSheep | !compiz | 04:29 |
| ubotu | Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 04:29 |
| misterblonde2517 | thank you | 04:29 |
| Groovestix | soldats, AzMoo: how do I edit xorg? | 04:36 |
| soldats | Groovestix, sorry i wanted to wait past the default 10 minutes to make sure it worked so now that it has... | 04:51 |
| Groovestix | no prob | 04:51 |
| soldats | you can edit it with gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:51 |
| soldats | or you can type man xorg.conf in a terminal and read all about it and about the warnings | 04:52 |
| soldats | umm but if you man xorg.conf it will tell you that you can do it in two ways as in adding some options to the ServerLayout section or in my case i just made a new section called servertags and added the options to it | 04:55 |
| === Groovestix is now known as portokaosol | ||
| AzMoo | Is there a way to set the apt mirror during installation? It seems that http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ is down, and it's screwing up my installations when it times out. | 05:36 |
| soldats | look in /etc/apt/sources.list and you should be able to change them there | 05:42 |
| misterblonde2517 | does anyone have a good walktrough to help me isntall compiz | 05:54 |
| AzMoo | soldats: Doesn't exist on the boot cd. It's in the "target" directory, but it's only got the CD | 06:07 |
| soldats | are you on a liveCD | 06:11 |
| AzMoo | It's the Xubuntu Alternate | 06:11 |
| AzMoo | Gutsy | 06:11 |
| soldats | ahh i figured if you had the full livecd you maybe able to download apt-mirror and try that, im not sure if it will work | 06:12 |
| mindframe_ | which folder does xfce store configuration information in? | 06:17 |
| mindframe_ | i cant seem to save settings between logins | 06:17 |
| soldats | AzMoo, since your in #ubuntu ask there they might have had the same problem | 06:17 |
| soldats | when you logout did you click save session | 06:18 |
| mindframe_ | soldats no i unchecked it :) | 06:18 |
| mindframe_ | firefox thinks its running when its really not | 06:18 |
| mindframe_ | i told xfce not to automatically save session on logout, yet when i hit the quit button it has the box checked :) | 06:19 |
| soldats | if it says that then do pgrep firefox and see if its in a backround | 06:19 |
| mindframe_ | its not | 06:19 |
| AzMoo | soldats: Yeah, I did but nobody really knew. They just said wait until it's finished then change the mirror, but by then it's stuffed. I'm going to try it without configuring the network interface at all. | 06:20 |
| soldats | that may work | 06:21 |
| groovestix | hey soldats, have you figured out the xorg stuff? | 06:22 |
| soldats | mindframe_, i think most config files are in /usr/share/xfce4 | 06:22 |
| soldats | groovestix, the screen timeout part | 06:23 |
| groovestix | yes! | 06:23 |
| soldats | yea i added a new section and added the options and its fine now | 06:23 |
| * soldats is happy now | 06:23 | |
| groovestix | is it noob-friendly thing to do? | 06:24 |
| groovestix | *a | 06:24 |
| soldats | slightly | 06:24 |
| soldats | if you post your xorg.conf to www.pastebin.com ill add the new lines | 06:25 |
| groovestix | cool, well can you tell me? also this might be a useful thing to immortalize somewhere | 06:25 |
| groovestix | sounds good! | 06:25 |
| soldats | didnt you change your nick and go to ubuntu and now you changed it back | 06:26 |
| soldats | also sorry the other night i ended up having to leave so i never ws able to see if you got everything working right with your innstall | 06:26 |
| groovestix | Yes that was me.. although I didn't do it on purpose | 06:27 |
| soldats | ahh ok | 06:27 |
| groovestix | so no, I don't wear tinfoil hats... | 06:28 |
| groovestix | :) | 06:28 |
| groovestix | http://pastebin.com/d2959e323 | 06:29 |
| AzMoo | soldats: Yup, it worked. Didn't configure the network and stopped the dhcp from picking up and it went straight through without checking for updates. Now I can boot into it and fix up the mirror. | 06:30 |
| soldats | AzMoo, nice im glad | 06:31 |
| soldats | groovestix, ok well i got some strange error so i made a new one http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50471/ the very bottom where it says "Section ServerFlags" is the new stuff you need to add so add the whole section | 06:36 |
| groovestix | wtf happened?! | 06:36 |
| groovestix | I know! I just got it too | 06:36 |
| groovestix | looking good! let me try it | 06:38 |
| soldats | something must have happened to their server | 06:38 |
| groovestix | too many people are switching to Ubuntu!? | 06:39 |
| groovestix | :) | 06:39 |
| soldats | lol but yea add the line 98 through 103 to your file the save and restart X | 06:40 |
| groovestix | okay! I copied pasted everything, but it's safe to go with the lines only so lemme do it again | 06:41 |
| groovestix | very nice... restarting restarting... | 06:43 |
| soldats | i guess youll have to wait about 11 minutes to be sure it worked | 06:44 |
| groovestix | why 11? | 06:44 |
| soldats | the default to turn off screen is 10 minutes so if after 11 minutes of not turning off id assume it works | 06:45 |
| groovestix | alright, that makes sense | 06:45 |
| soldats | :) | 06:45 |
| groovestix | I was gonna ask, do you know some good guide to clean up Xubuntu? | 06:46 |
| groovestix | I only wanna use it for storage, and BOINC machine | 06:46 |
| groovestix | but I couldn't do it with cli because I suck | 06:46 |
| groovestix | on the terminal | 06:46 |
| soldats | well what packages do you not want | 06:46 |
| groovestix | hmmm I don't really know... :( | 06:49 |
| groovestix | oh wait | 06:50 |
| groovestix | I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=addca6e9c0c4d7382bc99f41400f23a5&t=140920 | 06:50 |
| groovestix | seems interesting | 06:50 |
| soldats | probly wont be what you need | 06:51 |
| soldats | im sure your thinking of removing packages you dont need | 06:51 |
| groovestix | I see, junk and packages are different things | 06:52 |
| soldats | yes | 06:52 |
| soldats | removing wrong files can be dangerous | 06:52 |
| groovestix | oh crap! wtf! I opened synaptic and the system froze.. alright, this machine definitely needs a new chipset... hopefully xorg isn't screwed up again | 06:54 |
| soldats | if theres a package you dont want you can use synaptic package manager and remove it or use add/remove to remove them or in a terminal type "sudo apt-get remove <appname>" without quotes or <> | 06:54 |
| soldats | oh damn well try the add/remove program | 06:55 |
| soldats | applications > system > add/remove | 06:55 |
| groovestix | well I cleaned nearly all that I don't use | 06:55 |
| groovestix | (I am booting now) | 06:55 |
| soldats | there are other ways to get around haveing to reboot if it freezes but im sure youll learn eventually | 06:57 |
| soldats | if its something you want to learn that is | 06:57 |
| groovestix | of course I do | 06:58 |
| groovestix | ctrl-alt-F2 ? | 06:58 |
| soldats | well i mean do that and you can pgrep what ever froze to find out the PID and kill it | 07:00 |
| soldats | or run top if you dont know the name of the program | 07:00 |
| groovestix | I see | 07:03 |
| groovestix | well I hope I freeze again, so we could see what's going on... | 07:03 |
| groovestix | i have 192 ram (yes I know it's old) but I get the feeling that I always freeze when I have opened few things at once | 07:04 |
| soldats | yuh thats a big possibility i think xubuntu normally wants at least 256 to run "fairly" smooth, i lag a bunch if i have too much stuff open but i dont think it fully froze before | 07:06 |
| soldats | i has 256mb | 07:06 |
| soldats | my comp is an old POS as well | 07:06 |
| groovestix | I can has ram!? rolfmaooO! | 07:06 |

| soldats | such a good picture though | 07:12 |
| groovestix | :) did you hear about the Lolcat bible? | 07:15 |

| soldats | ha | 07:21 |
| groovestix | hey! | 07:26 |
| * soldats looks up | 07:27 | |
| groovestix | Is there a ctrl-alt del command in Xubuntu? | 07:27 |
| groovestix | :) | 07:27 |
| soldats | i think it shuts down | 07:28 |
| === zoredach1_ is now known as zoredache | ||
| groovestix | yesterday my "System monitor" hanged and I couldn't close it. | 07:29 |
| groovestix | the only way I know to close things like that is exactly through system monitor. :( | 07:29 |
| soldats | well you can type "top" in a terminal and its a cli system monitor, you can use it to "kill" apps by getting the PID | 07:30 |
| groovestix | so the command is sudo kill PID# ? | 07:31 |
| soldats | you dont really need sudo | 07:32 |
| groovestix | oh ok | 07:32 |
| soldats | but for example kill 8987 would kill my firefox | 07:33 |
| groovestix | I see... simple enough | 07:33 |
| selig5 | what is the valid install path for firefox? it seems not to be /usr/lib/mozilla. I am trying to install adobe-flash. | 07:33 |
| soldats | ~./mozilla? | 07:34 |
| groovestix | crap! so it froze again... I tried ctrl-alt-F2 without any results... | 07:34 |
| selig5 | I'll try that... | 07:35 |
| selig5 | Nope, it has to be a directory. | 07:36 |
| soldats | maybe /usr/share/firefox im not sure i havent installed flash in a long time | 07:36 |
| soldats | well ./mozilla is a directory the tilde means your home directory | 07:37 |
| selig5 | ok, I'll try that. of course, it says my browser shouldn't be running when I do the install... | 07:37 |
| soldats | no its fine just restart it when its done | 07:38 |
| selig5 | hmm | 07:39 |
| groovestix | any ideas soldats ? | 07:40 |
| soldats | what maed it freezed | 07:40 |
| groovestix | firefox | 07:41 |
| groovestix | it's really weird | 07:42 |
| soldats | firefox has lots of memory leaks so on a box with little ram to spare id assume it would happen every once in a while, but i wonder why its freezing so much | 07:44 |
| groovestix | it's definitely the chipset... I don't see anything else | 07:46 |
| groovestix | as a problem | 07:46 |
| groovestix | it doesn't overheat, since I run BOINC | 07:46 |
| groovestix | and the ram is intact (I ran memtest) | 07:46 |
| soldats | hmm that may be then, kinda sucks | 07:46 |
| groovestix | I wonder if I can find affordable replacement... usually ebay has lots of stuff floating around | 07:47 |
| soldats | craigslist | 07:48 |
| soldats | yardsales | 07:48 |
| soldats | ive found pretty decent stuff for real cheap | 07:48 |
| groovestix | the cool stuff is that I bought replacement parts for my toshiba laptop that were broken for about $50 | 07:49 |
| groovestix | mostly it was the plastic that holds the monitor and the keyboard, but Toshiba probably would've asked for much more | 07:50 |
| soldats | yuh well 50 doesnt seem too bad | 07:52 |
| groovestix | (shipping handling included) | 07:53 |
| soldats | 0o nice | 07:53 |
| groovestix | :) | 07:54 |
| groovestix | but uh, I better go now, gotta sleep... thanks very much for all the information.. it seems like I can't get enough of it | 07:56 |

| evil_tech | retarded question: whats the command to list the entire contents of all directories and subdirectories? | 20:51 |
| vidd | ls -alr maybe? | 20:56 |
| evil_tech | hmm let me try | 20:56 |
| evil_tech | nope | 20:56 |
| evil_tech | doesnt look in directories | 20:57 |
| vinze | evil_tech, ls -R ? | 20:58 |
| evil_tech | that did it | 20:58 |
| vinze | :) | 20:59 |
| vinze | man ls | 20:59 |
| vidd | i forgot the r is capital! | 20:59 |
| evil_tech | always forget to capitalize | 20:59 |
| vinze | (Though -R is often recursive :) | 20:59 |
| evil_tech | should have remembered that since that is how you rm directories | 21:00 |
| zoredache | of course I kinda prefer using 'find .' I like the format better | 21:12 |
| evil_tech | well i was going to pipe the output of ls -R to find to locate a file | 21:13 |
| zoredache | eh? | 21:13 |
| zoredache | you where going to pipe to find, or pipe to grep? | 21:14 |
| zoredache | find . -iname 'pattern.*' | 21:14 |
| evil_tech | grep | 21:14 |
| evil_tech | if i can figure out how to tell me the full path to what i want | 21:15 |
| zoredache | I think find is what you want. It will show you the entire path | 21:15 |
| zoredache | or you could use locate if the file has been around for a while | 21:16 |
| zoredache | locate filename | 21:16 |
| evil_tech | tried locate said the database was too old | 21:16 |
| zoredache | run 'sudo updatedb' | 21:17 |
| evil_tech | im using the live cd since knoppix wouldnt boot | 21:17 |
| zoredache | oh... a livecd ignore the locate/updatedb then | 21:17 |
| zoredache | what are you looking for anyway? | 21:18 |
| evil_tech | i tried find but it says it cant find the file or directory | 21:18 |
| evil_tech | a .dll on a windows drive | 21:18 |
| evil_tech | its spyware and mucking things up | 21:18 |
| zoredache | so you did something like: find /mountpoint -iname 'filename.dll' | 21:19 |
| evil_tech | i opened a command line in the root of the drive and then tried find | 21:20 |
| zoredache | hrm... | 21:20 |
| evil_tech | i know it exists cause grep finds it | 21:22 |
| zoredache | try just a find . | 21:23 |
| zoredache | and then pipe that into grep | 21:24 |
| evil_tech | ok thats running | 21:25 |
| evil_tech | brb | 21:28 |

| chimp | Hey, is there a way to click a file in the gui and run as root other than opening a root session of Thunar? | 22:16 |
| vinze | chimp, I suppose so | 22:17 |
| chimp | Er, do you know this way? | 22:17 |
| vinze | chimp, perhaps gksudo "exo-open %f" | 22:17 |
| vinze | (Sorry, had to look it up ;-) | 22:17 |
| chimp | what does this command do? | 22:18 |
| vinze | Well, gksudo executes the thing as root (asking for your password) | 22:18 |
| chimp | And what i meant was so that i didnt always need to use the terminal in order to run them as root | 22:18 |
| chimp | no i meant specifically the exo-open | 22:18 |
| vinze | Yeah, just a sec... ;-) | 22:19 |
| vinze | From "man exo-open": exo-open - Open URLs and launch preferred applications | 22:19 |
| zoredache | it is similar to the windows 'start' command if that is any help to you | 22:19 |
| chimp | yeah... i probably should have just used the manual :P | 22:19 |
| zoredache | vinze: is there an easy way to add something to the context menu you get when you right-click on something? | 22:20 |
| chimp | This still relies on using the terminal, while i dont mind using the terminal, sometimes for convience it would be nice to use the gui | 22:20 |
| vinze | zoredache, in Thunar? Edit->Configure Custom Actions | 22:21 |
| vinze | chimp, well, you don't actually get to *see* the terminal ;-) | 22:21 |
| zoredache | see chimp, all you have to do is add that as a custom action | 22:21 |
| chimp | I see, that would work | 22:21 |
| chimp | Not a built in thing though | 22:22 |
| vinze | Yeah well, that's quite logically, as you don't really want to have new users exploring / as root... | 22:22 |
| chimp | Yep, this is true | 22:22 |
| chimp | I figured there might be a hotkey of some sort | 22:23 |
| chimp | Which would prevent that | 22:23 |
| vinze | And people that can be trusted doing that can configure the custom actions :P | 22:23 |
| vinze | chimp, ah yes, that would be reasonable, but perhaps that also exists :P | 22:23 |
| vinze | On the other hand, one might press it accidentally | 22:23 |
| chimp | not if it was multiple keys | 22:23 |
| chimp | ctrl-super-alt s | 22:23 |
| chimp | :P | 22:23 |
| vinze | Haha | 22:24 |
| vinze | Then you have to press a key with your nose :P | 22:24 |
| chimp | safety first :P | 22:24 |
| vinze | Hehe | 22:24 |
| arm_ | help | 22:25 |
| vinze | !ask | arm_ | 22:25 |
| ubotu | arm_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 22:25 |
| reportingsjr | arm_: You need to ask a question | 22:25 |
| arm_ | i'm using xubuntu! | 22:25 |
| vinze | ...and something doesn't work? | 22:26 |
| reportingsjr | hehe | 22:26 |
| chimp | Well i added that command, hmm need something to test it on now | 22:26 |
| vinze | chimp, /usr/share/applications/thunar.desktop? | 22:27 |
| chimp | Was a different puter that I thought to myself, hmm that would have been useful if i coulda right clicked | 22:27 |
| vinze | Or just /usr/bin/thunar | 22:27 |
| chimp | ahh good idea | 22:27 |
| reportingsjr | arm_: You need to actually ask a question if you want help with it. | 22:27 |
| arm_ | i've a problem with the gnome settings menager! it doesent start! so i couldn't change nothing,i proved to starti it from the terminal but noway it doesn't work | 22:27 |
| arm_ | so | 22:27 |
| vinze | arm_, the Gnome settings manager in Xubuntu? | 22:27 |
| arm_ | i installed the kubuntu | 22:27 |
| chimp | lol | 22:27 |
| arm_ | aw | 22:27 |
| arm_ | yeah | 22:28 |
| vinze | arm_, wouldn't you want to use Xubuntu's settings manager? It's in Applications->Settings->Settings Manager | 22:28 |
| arm_ | yea but i've destroyed everything | 22:28 |
| arm_ | in xubuntu | 22:28 |
| arm_ | i've instaled | 22:28 |
| arm_ | lot's of packets | 22:28 |
| arm_ | last day i installed the kubuntu desktop from the xubuntu terminal | 22:29 |
| reportingsjr | .... | 22:29 |
| vinze | !enter | arm_ | 22:29 |
| ubotu | arm_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 22:29 |
| chimp | That worked :) | 22:29 |
| vinze | chimp, yay! :) | 22:29 |
| chimp | Pretty snazzy, can set what file types it operates on | 22:29 |
| arm_ | and it's so messy! could anybody help me how to ripristinate the original xubuntu? | 22:30 |
| vinze | arm_, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce.php might be of help | 22:30 |
| arm_ | Thanks! | 22:31 |
| chimp | Turning it off for folders, dont want to be messing around with root thunar sessions open | 22:31 |
| vinze | chimp, ah, folders is the thing I used it most for :P | 22:31 |
| chimp | yeah i figured actually that | 22:31 |
| chimp | as soon as i said it | 22:31 |
| chimp | :P | 22:31 |
| chimp | The question is, do i trust myself hehe | 22:31 |
| vinze | Yeah, it's a risk to take ;-) | 22:31 |
| vinze | But then again, otherwise you'd have to do it from the terminal, and a typo is quickly made... | 22:32 |
| arm_ | aw.my god! c:( | 22:32 |
| chimp | A mis-click is easier, turned in on anyway, useful | 22:33 |
| vinze | chimp, a mis-click on what? | 22:33 |
| arm_ | Thanks a lot <vinze> | 22:33 |
| arm_ | bye! seya! | 22:33 |
| vinze | arm_, no problem :) | 22:33 |
| vinze | Bye | 22:33 |
| chimp | Dont know about you lot, but when im using mouse for extended periods, my finger twitches, and ill just er click something | 22:34 |
| chimp | or even double click | 22:34 |
| vinze | chimp, oh, that never happens to me :P | 22:34 |
| chimp | Happened earlier today, clicked past about 3 sections of some installation thing heh | 22:34 |
| vinze | Though I must say, that stupid optical mouse twiches by itself sometimes | 22:34 |
| chimp | Other question i have is can an ubuntu installation that has had the xubuntu-desktop installed on it, run as well (for slower puters) as a straight xubuntu install? | 22:36 |
| vinze | chimp, I think so, especially now that Xubuntu loads Gnome services by default | 22:37 |
| vinze | chimp, though in 7.10, xubuntu-desktop conflicts with ubuntu-desktop | 22:37 |
| vinze | (Because Xubuntu uses totem-xine and Ubuntu totem-gstreamer which conflict) | 22:38 |
| chimp | Firefox3 barely works on this laptop | 22:44 |
| vinze | I'm off, bye | 22:49 |
| chimp | bye | 22:49 |
| march | good night :) | 23:16 |
| homebrewcider | can anybody help me get my usb heaset working in Xubuntu please. it shows up in applications>settings>settings manager>sounds, but does not accept changes to the settings | 23:43 |
