JebJoya2is it just me that can't get on to #ubuntu?01:00
Stroganoffyes JebJoya201:04
JebJoya2hmm... that's pretty odd...01:06
StroganoffJebJoya2 it seems to be caused by that java irc client you are using01:06
JebJoya2ahh, fair enough01:06
shitstorm...i just tried it01:06
JebJoya2didn't really want to try installing anything on this vista machine :S01:07
StroganoffJebJoya2 you should file a bug there: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc-council01:08
StroganoffX-Chat runs on windows btw01:09
JebJoya2oh, does it? i was just going to use mirc01:09
Stroganoffhttp://www.silverex.org/download/01:10
JebJoya2lovely, got on using mirc, thanks for that Stroganoff, i'll try to file a bug report as well :)01:10
JebJoya2ah, not worth it now i've got this up and running01:11
JebJoya2want to use vista as little as humanly possible!01:11

AggrocragHi there02:11
PsynoKhi0hi02:11
AggrocragGuess I forgot what to add after that.02:11
AggrocragOh yeah, I had a question02:15
AggrocragThe icons on my desktop are invisible, and don't show themselves until I put my mouse over where they are, what can I do about this?02:16
PsynoKhi0first time I've heard this one...02:17
PsynoKhi0what icons are there?02:17
AggrocragCould this be caused by running Conky?02:18
PsynoKhi0as a deamon?02:18
PsynoKhi0daemon*02:18
Aggrocragyeah, i think02:18
Aggrocragit's embedded in my desktop02:18
PsynoKhi0under your icons?02:19
PsynoKhi0are you using Xfce as your desktop manager?02:19
Aggrocragno, i mentioned it because I was thinking it might be covering them up               yes i am02:19
Aggrocragwait02:19
AggrocragI'm running compiz02:20
PsynoKhi0ah02:20
Aggrocragalways get confused with teh compiz02:20
Aggrocragwait a second02:20
Aggrocragno i'm not02:20
AggrocragI used to when i ran Ubuntu, but not now02:20
Aggrocragi forgot i reformatted02:20
AggrocragI just thought I was because the Compositor is on02:21
Aggrocragand I'm running AWN02:22
Aggrocragso nevermind on the compiz02:22
PsynoKhi0hmm what icons are we talking about? standard "Trash", "Home", "File System" ocr do you have more?02:23
AggrocragJust the standard ones and a icon for an external hard drive that i have plugged in,02:23
AggrocragMight have found it on good 'ole google though.  I added 'conky' to my search terms,  I'm gonna check the link02:24
PsynoKhi0you could check your desktop settings (left click on a free area, settings, second tab, check all boxes at the bottom)... did you keep your /home partition while reformatting?02:28
Aggrocragnope, I backed up files on an external drive, but luckily I think I found it in the FAQ's on Conky02:29
Aggrocraghttp://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html02:29
PsynoKhi0ok02:30
AggrocragI'm gonna check it out and get back to you in a few02:30
Aggrocraggot to twiddle the config file02:30
PsynoKhi0thought your theme might have some issues02:30
Aggrocraghopefully the conky fix works02:31
AggrocragIsolated it to Conky.  When I turned conky on manually (instead of turning it on automatically at startup)  I saw the icons dissappear02:41
PsynoKhi0weird02:42
PsynoKhi0well at least you know02:42
AggrocragI think it's my custom config file, because I didn't have this problem with conky before02:42
Aggrocrag(I had a different config file)02:43
PsynoKhi0could be02:43
Aggrocraganyway, I'm gonna log off, thank you for your help02:43
PsynoKhi0np, not like I did much heh02:43
wisema1hey everyone!02:58
=== wisema1 is now known as TheWiseman
TheWisemanI need some help!02:59
PsynoKhi0hi02:59
TheWisemanI just installed Xubuntu on my laptop here.  I was running ubuntu before and ubuntu can read my windows partition fine, but xubuntu doesn't appear to see it.  What can i do to rectify this?03:00
PsynoKhi0hmm03:01
TheWisemanI'd like to continue using xubuntu.  I think I like it better than ubuntu or vista.03:01
PsynoKhi0what kind of windows filesystem is it? NTFS?03:01
TheWisemanyes03:01
PsynoKhi0check that you have ntfs-3g installed03:02
TheWisemanlaptop shipped with vista, vista is NTFS03:02
TheWisemanyep03:02
TheWisemanlike I said03:02
TheWisemanregular ubuntu reads it just fine03:03
PsynoKhi0do you still get the dual boot option?03:03
TheWisemanyep03:04
TheWisemanwell actually triple boot.  Ubuntu 19, ubuntu 16, and vista03:04
PsynoKhi019?03:04
TheWiseman8.04.1903:04
PsynoKhi0ok03:05
TheWisemanbut I use 8.04.16 because the latest one doesn't seem to like my wireless no matter what I do03:05
TheWisemanbut that's a different story03:05
PsynoKhi0what does your fstab look like?03:06
PsynoKhi0(use the pastebin if needed please)03:06
TheWisemanuh....fstab?  pastebin?03:07
PsynoKhi0ah03:07
TheWisemanI've been up on linux for a couple weeks....my linux-fu is very weak still03:07
PsynoKhi0check the file called fstab under /etc03:07
PsynoKhi0one way to do it is to open a terminal and type03:08
PsynoKhi0cat /etc/fstab03:08
PsynoKhi0do NOT plaste the result here03:08
PsynoKhi0paste*03:08
TheWisemanok....what am I looking for now?  I've got it open03:09
PsynoKhi0http://paste.ubuntu.com use this instead03:09
TheWisemanhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/20512/03:10
PsynoKhi0if you can access the root partition of an ubuntu version you know accesses your ntfs drive, you can compare the fstab file there with your xubuntu one03:10
PsynoKhi0fstab = File System TABle03:11
PsynoKhi0tells your gnu/linux box where drives are, what file system to use on them, privileges and so on03:11
TheWisemanso what...I should boot into gnome, copy fstab, paste in xfce?03:11
PsynoKhi0uh...03:12
PsynoKhi0do you have ubuntuand xubuntu? or gnome and xfce on a same core?03:12
TheWisemangnome and xfce in the same core I think03:12
TheWisemanI select "ubuntu 8.04.16" at startup, the login screen comes up, I select XFCE as the desktop I want, bob's your uncle.03:13
PsynoKhi0ok03:13
PsynoKhi0anyway, your fstab doesn't list any ntfs partition so no hcange you can get them automounted03:14
PsynoKhi0no chance*03:14
PsynoKhi0you'll have to edit fstab to do so03:15
TheWisemank03:15
PsynoKhi0first you need to know what the partition vista is on is called03:15
TheWisemank03:16
PsynoKhi0I'd say /dev/sda1 by the look of it03:16
TheWisemanWell on gnome it sees it as a string of letters and numbers03:17
PsynoKhi0yup03:17
* TheWiseman begins to wonder if it's best to leave well enough alone and go back to gnome.....03:17
PsynoKhi0however to get that string manually, you need to know the partiton :)03:18
TheWisemanwhat do you mean?03:18
PsynoKhi0what bugs me is that I don't see how installing a different desktop could mess up your fstab03:18
TheWisemandun dun DUN03:19
TheWisemanbrb, gonna go into gnome03:19
=== wiseman is now known as TheWiseman
TheWisemanBack03:21
TheWisemanWhat was that site where I pasted stuff into?03:21
PsynoKhi0it's in the topic :)03:23
TheWisemanoh hay03:24
TheWisemanhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/20513/03:26
TheWisemanhrm....comparing, there's nothing different at all03:27
PsynoKhi0yet you can acces your vista partition?03:28
PsynoKhi0access*03:29
TheWisemanyep, plain as day03:29
PsynoKhi0icons on your desktop and in the file manager?03:30
TheWisemannot on the desktop immediately, but in the file manager03:31
TheWisemanwhen I open in file manager, the icon appears on the desktop03:31
PsynoKhi0ok03:32
PsynoKhi0but not in xfce03:32
TheWisemannope03:33
TheWisemanxfce shows only linux stuff03:33
PsynoKhi0the file manager in gnome is cheating a bit :P03:33
TheWiseman?03:35
TheWisemancheating is fine if it works03:35
PsynoKhi0yup but that kind of sucks cause that requires a bit more work03:36
TheWisemaneh03:38
TheWisemanI'll stick with gnome for now03:38
TheWisemanI don't feel like getting into it yet03:38
xbj9000anyone used gfloppy?03:53
xbj9000it won't start for me03:53

xbj9000lol03:56
TheWisemansimmer down03:56
TheWisemanbesides, it's only like 7 lines03:57
xbj9000what are you trying to figure out?03:57
TheWisemanwhy xfce doesn't see my windows partition but gnome does03:57
xbj9000hmm, perhaps there's something gnome autoloads that xfce doesn't?03:58
xbj9000sorry I don't really know03:58
TheWisemanxbj9000: makes sense to me03:58
zoredachehave you tried mounting it by hand?03:58
TheWisemann00b here03:59
magic_ninjawhats the name of that disk mounting tool03:59
TheWisemanNobody has told me how to do that03:59

PsynoKhi0that's what I'm trying to make him do now04:00
TheWisemanoh hay04:00
xbj9000no fstab?  how is that possible?04:00
TheWisemanI have fstab04:00
PsynoKhi0so /dev/sda2 is your windows partiton04:00
TheWisemanaparently04:00
PsynoKhi0he has fstab, not ntfs partition line in it04:01
xbj9000ah04:01
PsynoKhi0ok thne:04:01
PsynoKhi0then*04:01
PsynoKhi0sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda204:01
TheWisemanok....let's rock this shit04:02
xbj9000fstab should be something like:04:02
TheWisemanok PsynoKhi004:02
TheWisemannow what04:02
TheWisemanit gave me a string of letters and numbers04:03
xbj9000dev/sda2   /media/windows   ntfs-3g    defaults 0 004:03
PsynoKhi0TheWiseman: backup your fstab with "sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak"04:03
PsynoKhi0ntfs-3g?04:03
TheWisemank, backed up PsynoKhi004:03
xbj9000also you must create your mount folder (/media/windows)04:03
TheWisemanoh hey, hang on a sec04:04
xbj9000yeah unless I forgot something you use ntfs-3g04:04
xbj9000I think ubuntu now reads ntfs the same as ntfs-3g though04:04
TheWisemanhang on, in gnome the drive is located in media.  I never thought to look there.04:04
xbj9000so maybe you can use either, hang on I'll make sure04:04
TheWisemanI was just looking on the main bit.  Hang on.04:05
PsynoKhi0TheWiseman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=67050604:05

PsynoKhi0BAH04:06

shane_help my system is goin crazy,its using 1.9 gig of my 2 gig ram and i cant see whats hoggin. iv got kmess runnin konversation and limewire04:07
xbj9000xfce is being a huge pain about floppies for me04:07
xbj9000it's limewire lol04:07
xbj9000most likely04:07
shane_limewire is usin 2 gig of ram04:07
xbj9000in terminal type top and see what's using the most cpu04:08
xbj9000probably the same program is using the most ram also04:08
shane_49% is goin to java04:08
xbj9000actually top will even tell you what's using a lot of ram04:08
xbj9000%MEM04:08
shane_of cpu04:09
shane_126.7 mem04:09
shane_mb04:09
xbj9000126.7%??04:09
shane_126.7 mib04:09
xbj9000where did you see that, top gives percents04:10
xbj9000sorry04:10
wisemanoh hai04:11
shane_im in system monitor and none are really goin crazy on the mem but java is takin 50%of my cpu04:11
wisemanPsynoKhi0: ok, I'm now in xfce04:11
xbj9000yeah java is bad like that04:11
xbj9000I suggest trying gtk-gnutella, or at least frostwire04:12
xbj9000still it shouldn't be using that much ram04:12
wisemanok, it doesn't see the windows drive in media either.04:12
wisemanso let's continue where we left off04:12
xbj9000ok04:12
shane_well thats no good how can i correct this its a pd 3 gig with 2 gigs ram i only have 3 things runnin and im maxed04:12
xbj9000I'm not sure shane_04:13
xbj9000wiseman, your windows is /dev/sda2 right?04:13
shane_oh wait i see i have 1.6 gig of swap hapanin somehow04:13
PsynoKhi0wiseman: do you still have that link I gave you?04:13
xbj90001.6 used?04:13
wisemanno, it's gone04:14
PsynoKhi0http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=67050604:14
PsynoKhi0there's a fstab line in there that might be of insterest04:14
PsynoKhi0search the page for /dev/sda104:14
wisemanI think I see what you're talking about04:15
wisemanbut the /dev/sda2 isn't in my fstab at all04:15
wisemanshould I add it?04:15
PsynoKhi0yep04:15
xbj9000here's the line from the ubuntu manual04:15
xbj9000<your partition> /media/<mount point> ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 004:15
xbj9000so...04:16
wisemando I put the # in front of it like the other ones have?04:16
xbj9000/dev/sda2   /media/windows  ntfs-3g  defaults,locale-en_US.utf8   0   004:16
xbj9000lines with # are not read by the system, they are notes for your benefit04:17
wisemanok04:17
wisemando I need to put in that string of letters and numbers?04:17
xbj9000you will also have to create the mount point, with a command like sudo mkdir /media/windows04:17
xbj9000the uuid?  no04:17
xbj9000also you can use another name besides /media/windows, that is just my example04:18
wisemanuh....I try to save and it says "cannot open file to write"04:18
xbj9000oh you are editing it as a regular user04:19
xbj9000open a terminal and type sudo nano /etc/fstab04:19
xbj9000add the line at the bottom, then ctrl+O  then ctrl+X04:19
xbj9000if you aren't comfortable with that, use sudo mousepad /etc/fstab04:20
wisemanok, the deed is done04:21
xbj9000now you must reboot04:21
wisemanZOMG REBOOT?!!!!1 BUT THIS IS LINUX04:22
xbj9000lol04:22
xbj9000for it to be read again and take effect, that is..  however04:22
wisemanK04:22
xbj9000to go ahead and mount it by hand04:22
xbj9000type sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/windows04:22
wisemanover the river and through the woods, to grandmother's house we go04:22
shane_is there somethin i can do a terminal comand that will show what is hapaning ive shut down limewire and i have kmess runnin and konversation yet im still ussin 1.8 gigs of ram and only 8% of a 3 gig dual core cpu this isnt makin sense04:23
wisemank xbj9000.04:23
wisemanReboot now?04:23
xbj9000to make sure the fstab is right, yes I would04:23
wisemanOH HAY04:24
wisemanthe windows folder is working now04:24
xbj9000:)04:24
wisemanrestarting just verifies that the fstab file is working correctly, right?04:24
xbj9000yeah when your system starts it reads fstab and mounts partitions accordingly04:24
* wiseman chugs a beer04:24
wisemanHOOOAH04:24
xbj9000I'm sure it's correct though04:25
wisemanthank you all so much!04:26
xbj9000sure04:26
wisemanme using linux is like a bear flying a space shuttle though04:26
xbj9000pretty new?04:27
wisemanvery green I'm afraid04:27
xbj9000it's ok04:27
wisemanI was appalled by the fact that I had to get a computer with 3 gigs of RAM04:27
wisemanstupid vista04:27
xbj9000?04:27
xbj9000lol04:27
xbj9000oh shane_ sorry for forgetting about you04:27
wisemanso I talked to the only people I knew who were nerdier than me, and they reccomended I try out linux04:28
xbj9000I'm not sure how to find out what's hogging ram I'll look around04:28
shane_xbj9000: is there anything in xubuntu that could hog that much ram it stopped on its own whatever it was but thats not normal04:28
xbj9000hmm04:28
xbj9000does it happen regularly?04:28
shane_it almost locked my system complete04:28
shane_no first time tonight and i installed java and lime today04:29
xbj9000it's probably related04:29
xbj9000did you install the real java or one of the open alternatives?04:29
shane_so get rid of them or is java needed by other apps04:29
shane_no with lime it took the real java not a clone04:29
xbj9000limewire is probably the only thing you use java for, but it's sometimes used by websites04:29
xbj900064 bit or 32 bit system?04:30
shane_3204:30
wisemanok, off to watch Machine Girl.  L8rs and thanks again!04:30
xbj9000did you do sudo update-alternatives --configure java04:30
xbj9000sorry04:31
xbj9000--config java I meant04:31
shane_no04:31
xbj9000but you did do sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre?04:31
shane_no when i ran package manager to install limewire it all auto installed04:32
xbj9000ah04:32
xbj9000well do sudo update-alternatives --config java and see if the sun version is the selected default04:32
xbj9000also I really recommend using frostwire instead04:33
shane_it has 2 selections04:33
xbj9000also I have a Tango icon theme I made for limewire / frostwire if you want it  :)04:33
shane_java 6 sun and java 6 open04:33
xbj9000ok type the number for sun and enter04:33
shane_i think its a conflict with the javas04:34
shane_204:34
xbj9000that could be the problem04:34
xbj9000I mean don't tell me the number, select it in the terminal04:34
shane_i think so the 2 where conflicting i never even thought of that today04:34
xbj9000well it uses one or the other04:34
xbj9000it's possible limewire was using the open one and having some issue with it04:35
xbj9000you can leave them both installed but you have to do the command I showed you and select sun04:35
shane_mabey i dunno ill run lime back up now and see what happens i think all good now though04:35
xbj9000frostwire is identical but has no ads04:35
shane_i couldnt get frost to go and i did the dos swap over for there errors04:36
xbj9000and gtk-gnutella does the same things and doesn't use java at all04:36
shane_gtk i didnt like at all04:36
xbj9000yeah it's a little complicated04:37
xbj9000dos swap over?04:37
shane_i had ktorrent and i liked it but last nite i guess the server had probs and i couldnt get it to work good this mornin04:37
xbj9000try deluge for torrents04:37
shane_yah when i install frost it gives icon and no function it doesnt open04:37
xbj9000sudo apt-get install deluge-torrent04:37
xbj9000did you try frostwire after setting the java to sun?04:38
shane_well i guess when the frost team built the program they built it on a win sys so the linux app was made in dos format lol04:38
shane_search it i laughed04:38
xbj9000?04:38
xbj9000did you install some windows version with WINE or something?04:39
shane_http://www.frostwire.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=404:40
shane_read that04:40
shane_thats what i did04:40
shane_i thought it funny04:41
xbj9000that's old04:41
xbj9000direct link to frostwire for ubuntu:04:42
xbj9000http://www.frostwire.com/download/?os=ubuntu&from=04:42
shane_lol well i got the newest version from there site and it was for deb linux04:42
shane_when i searched the prob thats the only thing i could find04:42
shane_yup thats the same one i used04:43
xbj9000weird04:43
shane_either way ill try and install again,will frost and lime conflict also04:43
shane_or should i remove  limewire04:44
xbj9000I don't think they conflict04:44
shane_k ill run it up now and see what i get04:44
shane_i wonder if it was that i didnt have sun in with lime it took it itself but frost didnt do that04:46
xbj9000could be04:46

PsynoKhi0left05:12
PsynoKhi0up up down down A B05:12
PsynoKhi0hey shoot looks like my USB doesn't crash05:13
xbj9000?05:13
PsynoKhi0I've had a long lasting issue with tis computer I'm on right now05:13
PsynoKhi0the onboard USB would crash after a while05:14
xbj9000shane_ to leave it running in taskbar, go to Tools > system tray > shutdown after transfers05:14
shane_ok it says that the skin is out of date05:14
xbj9000?  won't let you use it?05:14
shane_its says to get a more current one and then it doesnt find my web browser05:15
shane_how do i set up my browser as default05:15
xbj9000well there isn't a more current one05:15
xbj9000tools > helper apps05:16
shane_i dunno i said later and then restarted and it hasnt changed05:16
xbj9000bah05:17
shane_its listed but it wont take affect and my default browser is mozilla05:18
PsynoKhi0nopers, crashed again...05:19
xbj9000yeah edit the default browser to whatever you actually use05:19
xbj9000probably firefox05:19
xbj9000I don't get it, I can't use the theme either now05:20
shane_i dunno i changed my browser and it opened a page here so ill check it out i dont think the tango theme will be there if you built it05:21
xbj9000yeah it won't05:21
shane_i wonder if you desighned that on there last version and the new changes wont accept it05:22
xbj9000no, the other themes still say THEME_VERSION=205:24
shane_hmm i dont know then05:27
xbj9000makes no sense05:27
xbj9000:(05:27
xbj9000themes are pretty simple really05:27
shane_i havent gotten into that end of linux atall yet im just getting to know it05:28
PsynoKhi0uh trying to unmount a USB key but I get "An application is using blablabla..." is there a command to check which one it is?05:28
xbj9000that's making me angry I spent hours on it05:29
shane_but i have tryed 7 different versions of linux in the last few weeks05:29
xbj9000which ones?05:29
shane_all 3 buntus arch freespire gos and linspire05:30
xbj9000haven't tried arch05:30
xbj9000didn't like *spire05:30
shane_i liked kubu and xfce xubuntu05:30
shane_it was nice for visual but i didnt like its weight05:30
xbj9000I used to love kde but I stopped05:30
xbj9000I think kde used to be better than gnome but no longer is05:31
shane_well i think i might throw kde4 on one of my systems i have down stairs but i think ill wait a few more weeks05:31
shane_i dunno about that05:31
shane_iv been useing mostly kde in xubu05:31
shane_gnome is preety but heavy05:32
xbj9000why not just use kubuntu then?05:32
PsynoKhi0yeeouch... *buntu and arch? that's like, the almost opposite sides of the spectrum hehe05:32
shane_lol yah a bit05:32
shane_i like xubuntu better but there arent many apps for the xfce05:33
shane_most are for gnome and kde05:33
PsynoKhi0I haven't had any issue mixing yet05:34
shane_no me either05:34
shane_i found that the system does seem a tad faster opening kde than gnome apps though05:34
PsynoKhi0to the point I wonder wtf they mean with gnome and kde apps heh05:34
shane_what is the dif05:36
xbj9000wtf, i figured out the problem05:37
shane_cool what was it05:37
xbj9000well for some reason the Tango_theme folder is created 2 deep05:37
xbj9000there is a Tango_theme folder inside of a Tango_theme folder05:38
xbj9000:/05:38
shane_ok05:38
shane_so i need to remove that and open it up05:38
xbj9000so, if you remove Tango_theme and then copy the one inside back over, it works05:38
xbj9000so that it's only one folder deep05:39
xbj9000I'll have to fix that05:39
shane_ok05:40
xbj9000did you get it?05:41
PsynoKhi0http://paste.ubuntu.com/20530/ fun huh?05:42
shane_not yet05:42
shane_how do i take away the folder and keep the files05:43
PsynoKhi0about those h.264 files, you can check with any decently recent AVI from dattebayo.com05:44
xbj9000you can move the Tango_theme out onto the desktop05:44
xbj9000then open it, and copy the Tango_theme inside, and paste that back into /frostwire/themes05:45
xbj9000or you can wait for me to upload the fix05:45

persihello, what do you think are the specs with which xubuntu speed advantage will be unnoticeable and I should install base gnome version instead?11:18
ablomenpersi, even on my quad core system at home with 2gb of ram i find xfce a lot faster then gnome11:19
ablomenjust more responsive (thunar opens a lot faster then nautilus, even rythmbox seems to start up faster)11:20
persioops :) thanks, I wonder how it was before 4.3, some guy says XFCE became much slower after it11:22
persistartup time actually didnt impress me as it wasnt at all faster than XP11:23
ablomenwell but the thing is that windows xp is actually still booting once your logged in11:25
ablomenwhen you log in in linux everything is booted11:25
persieverything besides gui that is, I think it takes just as long to actually show me desktop11:26
ablomenhmm it does?11:26
ablomendunno, at home xubuntu seems faster, and havnt used windows on this pc :)11:27
persihow much extra disk space do I need approximately if i want to install ubuntu over xubuntu?12:14

jokoonhello, I have bluetooth integrated on my G4 ibook, switched recently from gnome to xfce, and "browse device" is greyed in the tray menu17:16
jokoonalso how can I deactivate the touchpad in xubuntu ?17:16
lordmaynothhey17:19
lordmaynothI've got a weird question17:19
jokoonthats weird17:20
lordmaynothok so when I play games in native resolution (using 8600gts, tried envy drivers) the game keeps playing but its in a window, and I can still see the start bar, but the mouse is frozen even if I alt-tab out17:21
lordmaynothanyone else had anything like this happen in hardy17:21
vinnllordmaynoth, for which games does that happen?17:21
lordmaynothtremulous and saurbraten17:21
lordmaynothany fps17:21
lordmaynothalso if I change the resolution down to 1024 x 768 or less its fine17:22
vinnllordmaynoth, is there a place in their settings where you can configure them to be fullscreen?17:22
vinnlOh that's odd17:22
lordmaynothyeah its making me scratch my head17:22
lordmaynothdidn't happen in gutsy17:22
BalachmarHi, how can I change the screen resolution in xubuntu?19:06
lc2applications -> settings -> settings manager, display19:07
zoredachehow does one change what browser the update-manager uses?  I have epiphany set in the settings/prefered apps... but update-manager is starting firefox19:09
lc2the update manager runs as root, right19:09
zoredacheparts of it do... but I had not provided my password yet19:10
lc2oh19:11
lc2meh, wtf19:11
lc2maybe it's hard-coded19:11
zoredachethe issue is... I have firefox2 install since several extensions not supported in ff3...  Every time I forget and click a link in the update manager ff3 runs and trashes my firefox profile and deletes all my extensions19:12
lc2oh :(19:12
eca17 gigs used on my 80 gig hd, less than 1 gig in my home folder and i dont have that many programs installed. i tried apt-get autoclean, and deleting cached packages with synaptic- i dont think it worked though. what else should i look into?19:12
lc2look in /tmp19:13
lc2is this xubuntu?19:14
ecayes, 5kb in tmp19:14
ecadev is 1.8 gb19:14
lc2!19:14
lc2okay, that's not right19:15
lc2dev is (should be) a bunch of special files that don't really exist as such19:15
lc2mine is 52k19:15
lc2/dev*19:16
lc2although, udev afaik isn't really a filesystem as such, either19:17
lc2so maybe that's irrelevant19:17
ecalin is 1.1 gb19:17
eca*/lib19:18
lc2lin?19:18
lc2oh19:18
lc2makes sense19:18
ecaproc 1.3 gb19:18
ecasys 230mb19:19
lc2proc is a pseudo-filesystem19:19
ecausr is 1.6, var is 300mb. files dont even add up to 17, but thats what it says in thunar19:20
lc2unless thunar is counting it wrong19:21
lc2hm19:22
ecaand partition editor19:22
lc2heh what19:22
ecapartion editor says 17 gb too19:23
ecaused19:23
zoredachewhat is the xfce equivalent of gnome-open?19:23
lc2hmmm19:23
zoredacheeca: try running this perhaps -   du --max-depth=1 -h /19:24
eca2.7g19:25
ecageuss thats what its supposed to say19:26
zoredacheeca: btw have you deleted some large files (perhaps logfiles) without restarting the service that was using them?19:26
ecaprobably19:26
ecai killed a bunch of services19:27
ecaith sys-conf19:27
ecawith19:27
zoredacheif a program has a file open, and you delete the file the blocks will still be allocated until the file handle is closed...  You might try rebooting19:27
ecaive rebooted a bunch19:28
ecagotta go to work bbl19:29
zoredachehrm.... update-manager seems to be using gnome-open instead of exo-open19:34
Balachmarok, I seem to have f***ed up my resolution, and now I cand read the text anymore19:38
BalachmarCan I select a resolution from the commandline?19:38
