| Hermenegil | I didn't change anything in xorg.conf, how can I undo ? | 01:30 |
| TheSheep | what did you do exactly? | 01:41 |

| Stroganoff | Woo_: i recommend the gparted livecd to resize your FS | 15:01 |
| Woo_ | Do you think I will encounter many problems doing this? I am NOT a person fammiliar with Linux. | 15:04 |
| Woo_ | I also have a license of Acronis. | 15:04 |

| cirv9 | hey.. anyone who knows why Thunar keeps freezing whenever I choose "View hidden files" in for example /proc? | 15:05 |
| Woo_ | Just for the cloning part | 15:05 |
| charlie-tca | cirv9: Is that the only folder it freezes in? | 15:12 |
| charlie-tca | for example, can you view hidden files in your /home directory? | 15:13 |
| cirv9 | charlie-tca: nope, it's the same in /home | 15:13 |
| cirv9 | I can view them, but it really takes ages to "load" the view | 15:13 |
| cirv9 | its a fresh xubuntu 8.10 btw | 15:14 |
| Stroganoff | http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2502 | 15:14 |
| cirv9 | Stroganoff: that's the problem, thanks. ill try disabling "tree view" then | 15:16 |
| Stroganoff | it seems to have been ugly-fixed recently | 15:17 |

| ubottu | jf812: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 17:38 |
| jf812 | No im not really going to ask a question. I was just seeing if it connected properly | 17:39 |
| charlie-tca | Okay, you are connected. Welcome to #xubuntu | 17:39 |
| jf812 | What kind of computer are people running Xubuntu on? I'm just running it on my home PC | 17:41 |
| charlie-tca | All kinds, from the old to the new, including mac | 17:41 |
| jf812 | I prefer it to Ubuntu because its simpler | 17:42 |
| charlie-tca | I started using it because it ran on my old pc | 17:43 |
| charlie-tca | Now I use it because I like the way it works better. | 17:44 |
| chosig | hrm... my panels dissapeared when i moved a launcher, what's the xfce-way to restart them? | 17:44 |
| chosig | (didn't get a crash report) | 17:44 |
| Odd-rationale | i used to use xubuntu/xfce... now i'm on gnome... | 17:44 |
| TheSheep | chosig: alt+f2 and type 'xfce4-panel' | 17:44 |
| charlie-tca | or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels | 17:45 |
| chosig | TheSheep, thanks | 17:46 |
| chosig | oh... segfault | 17:47 |
| tich | does anyone know if there is a way to take a screen shot when an application is fullscreened? | 17:56 |
| tich | i have the screen shot panel app but i would like to take some screen shots of applications when the panel is ouut of view | 17:58 |
| tich | i read, in the description of the panel app that one could bind it to a key but i can't see how to do it | 17:59 |
| TheSheep | tich: just use gimp and timed snapshot | 18:02 |
| tich | TheSheep, ah yes i read about that but i wanted to be more spontaneous | 18:03 |
| TheSheep | try installing scrot and binding it to your key | 18:03 |
| tich | okay, i will look into that | 18:04 |
| tich | it is in the repos i presume | 18:04 |
| tich | thanks for the advice | 18:04 |
| chosig | hrm... if i tell terminal to open an url (firefox), is it possibleto make firefox stay in the workspace it is and not teleport to the one i "opened the url" from? | 18:27 |

| atgarsis | hello | 19:04 |
| atgarsis | i am using 'evince' document reader, but some pdf documents look a bit 'scruffy', i.e. the fonts are not embedded. any ideas how to cure this problem? | 19:05 |
| atgarsis | does that mean that 'evince' does not support non-embedded fonts? | 19:06 |
| Hermenegil | can someone tell me why "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ask me question about my keyboard but nothing on video/graphic ? | 19:08 |
| charlie-tca | Video is now set automatically through Hal, I think. | 19:10 |
| Hermenegil | can i change the video setting manually ? | 19:15 |
| charlie-tca | You can manually edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, yes | 19:16 |
| Hermenegil | there is almost nothing in my xorg.conf | 19:18 |
| charlie-tca | That is because most items are automatic now. | 19:19 |
| atgarsis | anyone can recommend a pdf viewer which would support non-embedded fonts? | 19:19 |
| Stroganoff | atgarsis: xpdf? | 19:25 |
| atgarsis | does it also support djvu format? | 19:26 |
| Stroganoff | i don't know | 19:26 |
| Stroganoff | there's also acroread from adobe (it's in the medibuntu repos) | 19:26 |
| atgarsis | thanks! | 19:28 |
| Hermenegil | i have this prompt on boot : " Your screen, graphics card, and input device setting could not be detected correctly. You will need to reconfigure these yourself. " i'm now in the (Low-graphic mode), can i restore the video driver without reinstalling, (I'm on Xubuntu 8.10) | 20:02 |
| charlie-tca | Hermenegil: yes, it can be done. You shouldn't need to reinstall. Take a look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 20:04 |
| charlie-tca | You can also boot using recovery option in Grub, and try Xfix option | 20:05 |
| Hermenegil | thanks, i let you know if it work | 20:07 |
| charlie-tca | no problem. | 20:07 |
