[00:50] <budser> Is there anyone here who might be able to help me with my display settings?
[00:51] <budser> I tried to set up advanced desktop effects and now my windows have no close/minimize/maximize buttons!
[00:52] <budser> I guess you're all watching the game :^/
[00:54] <budser> if there were a way to restore the default settings I would be happy
[00:56] <skarface> budser: run ccsm
[00:57] <skarface> do you have emerald?
[01:00] <budser> I did set up emerald
[01:01] <budser> I followed the instructions closely at http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/
[01:01] <budser> but I guess I don't have the right hardware to use advanced desktop settings
[01:01] <budser> compiz, or whatever

[09:24] <giac123> hi just installed Xubuntu: fonts are microscopic
[09:24] <giac123> smaller than you can imagine
[09:24] <giac123> note: I didn't change any setting
[09:27] <giac123> hi?
[09:29] <giac123> is there anybody out there?
[09:30] <TheSheep> giac123: set your dpi in the /etc/xorg.conf in the display section
[09:30] <TheSheep> giac123: xubuntu tries to detect how large your monitor is and scale the fonts accordingly, but it fails with some drivers and/or monitors
[09:31] <giac123> thanks
[09:32] <TheSheep> giac123: more details: http://scanline.ca/dpi/
[09:45] <white_eagle> how to make xfwm to be my default compositing manager? I terminated compiz.real but xfce doesn't let me run window manager settings or window manager tweaks saying that I have another compositing manager running!?
[10:09] <TheSheep> white_eagle: just run xfwm4
[11:50] <RaskahRat> Hello =)
[11:52] <RaskahRat> I want to run world of warcraft under wine but i seem to get crap performance. My computer is not that great (P4 3ghz, 512mb ram, radeon 9250) but i am wondering if it is worth getting new driver from the ATI website instead of the driver installed with gutsy.
[11:54] <TheSheep> RaskahRat: just use the restricted drivers manager
[11:56] <RaskahRat> TheSheep, When i open it it tells me that i dont need restricted drivers for my hardware, but when i search people say to get drivers from ATI for games because of better performance.
[11:57] <TheSheep> !ati
[11:57] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:57] <RaskahRat> I realise that it will be not6 as good as running it nativly running it in wine but in winblows i get 45fps and under wine i get around 8fps
[11:58] <TheSheep> maybe some settings in wine itself then?
[11:58] <TheSheep> !wine
[11:58] <ubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[11:58] <TheSheep> or maybe you should get cedega?
[11:58] <RaskahRat> hmmm yeah i'm poor lol
[11:59] <TheSheep> well, there is a cvs version of cedega you can build yourself for free
[11:59] <RaskahRat> just nervous cause i'm new to linux
[11:59] <RaskahRat> oh really?
[11:59] <TheSheep> thre is even a script that does it, I think
[11:59] <TheSheep> but I'm not usre about it all, it might be old information
[11:59] <TheSheep> I don't play windows games
[12:01] <RaskahRat> Ok damn..... for some reason Xchat runs full screen over my menu's and all and i can't figure out how to fix it. I cant even run commands with ALT-F2
[12:02] <TheSheep> press alt+f11
[12:02] <RaskahRat> no0thing
[12:02] <TheSheep> double-click on the window title
[12:02] <RaskahRat> nope
[12:03] <TheSheep> f11 alone?
[12:03] <RaskahRat> nothing
[12:03] <TheSheep> just drag the window's edge with the mouse?
[12:03] <RaskahRat> nope
[12:04]  * TheSheep <-- out of ideas
[12:04] <RaskahRat> its annoying the hell out of me lol
[12:04] <TheSheep> but there are window titles and borders?
[12:05] <RaskahRat> no... thats the problem sorry. But everything else does.
[12:05] <TheSheep> looks like he window manager is not running
[12:05] <TheSheep> the
[12:05] <TheSheep> you played with compiz?
[12:06] <RaskahRat> i'm using compiz and emerald. But this only happens with xchat... if i quit everything else works fine.
[12:06] <TheSheep> I guess that's a problem with compiz and/or its interaction with xchat
[12:07] <TheSheep> I'm glad compiz doesn't ship with xubuntu by default :)
[12:07] <RaskahRat> yeah its a little buggy
[12:07] <RaskahRat> i do like the shuiny  cube though /sigh
[12:08] <TheSheep> try 3ddesktop
[12:08] <TheSheep> it does the cube without compiz
[12:08] <TheSheep> but it's a hack
[12:11] <RaskahRat> hmmm
[12:13] <RaskahRat> in the binary driver howto, in the prerequisites, it says if "You need hardware-accelerated 3D support, or display refresh rates higher than 60 Hz. The open source drivers are fine for all other areas." but then it also says thjat the fglrx drivers dont support cards earlier than the radeon 9500
[12:16] <TheSheep> RaskahRat: I really don't know, you might try asking on #ubuntu, #wine or even #compiz-fusion
[12:16]  * TheSheep <-- uses nvidia
[12:18] <RaskahRat> TheSheep, ok thanks anyway
[12:28] <PsynoKhi0> greetings, should hdparm be selected in the list of services, on a laptop?
[12:29] <TheSheep> PsynoKhi0: not necessarily, if you didin't change anything in /etc/hdparm
[12:29] <TheSheep> PsynoKhi0: most people don't need to tweak their hard disk drive parameters
[12:31] <PsynoKhi0> TheSheep: ok, I was wondering if I could get rid of that intermitent HDD ticking
[12:34] <PsynoKhi0> when the computer is idle, I mean... I have checked whether laptop mode was enabled and it isn't, though still kinda wondering if that can affect HDD life span (rather old lappy I was given away, and first one I own so...)
[13:53] <newermind> hello there. I currently run Xubuntu 7.10 and I have a question regarding thunar: is
[13:53] <newermind> is it possible to show file transfers between folders?
[14:09] <deanecro> hello
[15:43] <RaskahRat> Hello all =)
[15:44] <RaskahRat> does anyone here have experience with ati drivers on 7.10?
[16:06] <CapsAdmin> I'm trying to install xubuntu on my computer, but it doesn't seem to go any further than:
[16:06] <CapsAdmin> * Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)
[16:06] <CapsAdmin> Is this normal? Or is the CD defect or something
[16:06] <CapsAdmin> I checked it, but it told me it was alright
[16:10] <beetai> CapsAdmin: Did you do an md5sum check?
[16:13] <CapsAdmin> ?
[16:13] <CapsAdmin> I don'T
[16:13] <CapsAdmin> ?
[16:14] <CapsAdmin> I don't know, I chose the check cd option*
[16:17] <CapsAdmin> brb
[16:21] <CapsAdmin> back
[16:37] <beetai> CapsAdmin: What model of computer?
[16:40] <beetai> CapsAdmin: Some computers won't boot all the way without disabling ACPI or other kernel options
[16:58] <CapsAdmin> I have a p5ad2e- premium motherboard
[16:58] <CapsAdmin> HDD is in raid 0 mode
[16:58] <CapsAdmin> I want to dual boot xubuntu and vista
[16:59] <CapsAdmin> I did splitt my hdd for xubuntu
[16:59] <CapsAdmin> split*
[17:00] <CapsAdmin> beetai: 4gb ram and x850xt pe. I don't think that matters, but still
[17:02] <beetai> CapsAdmin: From what I can see p5ad2e should work just fine.  From what you are saying you are not able to boot the xubuntu live install cd?
[17:03] <CapsAdmin> When I choose start or install from the menu, it stops at what I said earlier
[17:03] <CapsAdmin> I can't remember what that was, but it stops there
[17:04] <CapsAdmin> Nothing happens after that
[17:08] <CapsAdmin> beetai: It does boot, and I can choose what to do in the menu
[17:20] <Breakage> !irssi
[17:20] <ubotu> Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help.
[17:21] <PsynoKhi0> Ermm I'm trying to compile catfish 0.3 but when making I get an error mesage about msgfmt not found, though I have the gettext-base package, do I need the "gettext" one too?
[17:51] <beetai> CapsAdmin: I would download and burn a small linux like Damm Small Linux or Puppy Linux. Those are both 50 meg downloads. And see if I can boot off of those. If I could get a good boot from a small linux CD. I would then check the MD5sum on the xubuntu CD I had downloaded.
[18:18] <jono> hi all
[18:18] <jono> anyone know who is working on the EEE port?
[18:32] <maxamillion> jono: i have no idea, but i find it to be a very interesting concept .... would actually give me a reason to buy an EEE
[18:32]  * maxamillion should find that out
[18:36] <maxamillion> jono: it appears that the project isn't actually part of the official xubuntu development team or cycle ... but that of the eeeuser.com community --> http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:home
[21:14] <speedcore> Randyboy:  Is it a PCI or PCI-e card..  and what kind of mobo, one with pci-e or pci?
