[15:44] Wh1te, i dont think so [15:44] k, thats good news [15:45] no, it is not true [15:45] kool, i just had to make sure before i even thought about trying to use new icons [15:46] i dont use the stock icons though [15:46] It might depend on the icon set. Not every set is complete and not every set works. They are written by separate people. [16:07] How do i see other ubuntu computers on my network? [16:10] Install pyneighborhood or samba, I think. [16:10] Are they windows computers? [16:10] "ubuntu computers" [16:10] I tried both, but nthey aren't working exactly right. [16:11] no :( [16:11] I don't know what "exactly right" means.

[19:25] do it in a term [19:26] d/l and install 9.04 [19:26] well is it stable? [19:27] It feels stable for me. However, if you'd prefer to hold back until 23 Apr. do so [19:28] It also comes with OOo 3 [19:29] is the interface changed? [19:29] not much [19:30] looks a bit brighter and a little sharper [19:30] all right [19:30] hi [19:30] well i'll try it, hope it works [19:30] u use Xubuntu 9.04 beta.

[19:37] kas have a look at -> multimedia -> mixer [19:37] lets say my wlan driver doesn't work in 9.04 Ruadh, do you know how i change back to 8.10? [19:37] I use a vired lan [19:37] wired [19:38] well is it possible to restore back to 8.10 if it doesn't work? [19:38] I can change volume by mixer. [19:38] Slonkie, if you think youd have probs don't install [19:39] but keys on keyboard don't work.

[19:56] no. but I can use my wheel mouse in other apps [19:56] eg xchat [19:56] thats great [19:56] im able too [19:57] I have no need for vim [19:57] but won't you try to test is this a bug? [19:57] not necessary vim [19:57] man affected too for me [19:58] or you have no need of man? [19:58] i love GPU benches [19:58] they always say "no dx 10.1" as a downside for nvidia cards [19:58] i wonder when they'll write "no physx, cuda, opengl" for ati cards [20:01] lukinfore, I am able to use my wheel mouse in Term [20:02] when man running? [20:02] or htop?

[20:07] emails etc? [20:08] Slonkie, yes [20:08] good [20:08] Ruadh, k, thanks [20:09] Make sure you save you files first [20:09] lukinfore, ok, sorry [20:12] how can i get desktop icons AND minimized app icons to show up on the desktop [20:12] this is quite puzzling to me that they would separate the two options [20:41] wow 9.04 looks so good [20:44] :) [20:44] btw knome , i love the gtk theme :P [20:44] Do we have a new GTK theme? :) [20:44] firefox doesnt look fresh, but apart from that, the theme is quite beautiful, its a nice improvement [20:44] Yeh [20:44] \o/ [20:44] And the Usplash? Still the same? [20:46] I think it's still the same, yeh :( [20:46] but there's a new gdm too :D [20:46] Yeah I know, I'm already using that on 8.10 ;-) [20:48] http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/3541/newgtk.png [20:48] Ignore the bugs on the panel [20:48] its not been refreshed :P [20:48] Isen't that ubuntu? [20:48] Yeah I already have the GTK theme, I just didn't know it was already default :) [20:49] Oh, but I didn't see the new xfwm4 theme though [20:49] Which one is it? [20:49] where do i change theme, i can't find it? Lol [20:49] Appearance in the Settings Manager [20:51] vinnl, its my own xfwm :P [20:51] search for "Dusty 2" in xfce-look.org [20:52] Ah :) [20:52] its designed for Dust Burnt [20:52] Well it fits the theme nicely :) [20:52] Slonkie, There is GNOME ubuntu [20:52] yeh xD [20:53] i know Ruadh. [20:55] can i ask what theme your using, SiDi ? [20:55] Slonkie, its the new Xubuntu theme ;P [20:56] i'm usually using miu/human reprise/dust/elegant brit/machiatto [20:56] sounds advanced lol [20:56] i made flexible xfwm versions for EB, dust and Miu [20:57] they're ubuntu community themes for the 3 first, and the 2 latter are famous themes in gnome-look.org [21:03] Openoffice.org 3 looks good too [21:04] What's xfwm? :/ [21:04] !xfwm [21:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about xfwm [21:04] !xfwm4 [21:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about xfwm4 [21:04] Hmm... Anyway, it's Xfce's window manager [21:04] Slonkie, A small window manager [21:04] Or: the thing that positions the windows on screen and draws the window borders and such [21:04] All right [21:04] light weight [21:04] And which can also provide desktop effects :) [21:04] and feature-full :) [21:05] xfwm is one of the main reasons why i use xfce instead of gnome [21:09] hi [21:09] would anybody be able to help me with an xubuntu problem? [21:09] !ask [21:09] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:09] :) [21:10] I'm stuck on step 4 of 7 of installation, I'm not sure where to go from there [21:10] Step 4 = partitions ? [21:10] it's for prepare partitions, and it just shows a blank box and the buttons aren't able to be clicked [21:11] It *sounds* like a bug :D [21:11] What hard drive disk do you have ? [21:11] Yeah it does. Which version of Xubuntu are you using> [21:11] *? [21:11] hmm anyone able of helping me install "dust" theme from xfce-look.org ? [21:11] It's 8.10 version [21:11] and I'm trying to use c:/ [21:11] I don't know how to load the theme. [21:12] Slonkie, take the folder in the .tar.gz and put it it .themes [21:12] First extract it [21:12] Ragor, what do you mean when it says "it shows a blank box" ? [21:12] in ~/ ? [21:12] and, are you using a very exotic disk ? [21:12] Slonkie, yes [21:12] I can upload a picture of it to imageshack, hold on a second... [21:12] there is no .themes in home [21:13] Slonkie, yeh, put the folder that contains gtk-2.0 (it shall be named Dust) in ~/.themes/ [21:13] Create it, Slonkie [21:13] Slonkie, you can create it [21:13] Slonkie, I wrote a guide on this: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/02/10/design-your-own-desktop-with-xfce-44/ [21:13] and if you ever want to add icons, its ~/.icons :P [21:13] Scroll down to GTK theme [21:13] btw, does anyone know if xfce4.6 has features for installing themes such as GNOME's ? [21:13] Thanks, vinnl. :) [21:13] and SiDi! [21:14] You're welcome Slonkie :p and test my xfwm with Dust Burnt <3 [21:14] SiDi, you mean Metacity themes? [21:14] where do i get your xfwm, sidi? [21:14] vinnl, i mean having an "install" button :P [21:14] SiDi, ah :P [21:14] Slonkie, sec, gonna get you the link [21:14] http://www.xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Dusty+mod?content=97752 [21:14] Cool [21:14] thanks [21:14] It might be, I believe the Appearance dialog was renewed (besides being renamed :P) [21:15] nite all [21:15] my wallpaper really rockks with this theme [21:15] Night [21:15] night, Ruadh [21:15] This is what it shows http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/2977/img3727y.jpg [21:16] Ragor, your hard drive disk is not recognised [21:16] i'm REALLY curious about knowing what it is [21:16] What is in the HDD, right now ? A windows fresh install ? [21:16] It's just an old desktop computer with just a c:\ drive [21:16] Do you mean you need to know hardware? [21:16] yeh [21:17] any modern hdd, including exotic ones such as SSD cards, etc, are recognised by ubuntu [21:17] There is no "Interface settings", vinnl ? [21:17] only old exotic disks use to cause trouble [21:17] Would I be able to find that out from the computer info or do I have to take my computer apart to find out? [21:17] Slonkie, you're using 8.10, right? [21:17] Ragor, could you please open a console and type "sudo fdisk -l", and also "sudo lshw" ? [21:17] 9.04 [21:17] Slonkie, ah, then it's Appearance [21:18] Tell us if the first command returns anything at all, and about the second one, search for something that looks like an HDD name [21:18] so i add the folder called gtk-2.0 to .themes and rename it to dust [21:18] um...how would I do that? Sorry I'm a noob [21:18] is that right? or the whole dust folder? [21:18] Ragor, lshw stands for "list hardware" [21:18] Slonkie, the whole Dust folder [21:18] Ragor, Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal [21:18] Ragor, we cant say you're having a lucky start :) [21:19] cool [21:19] Slonkie, you add the folder containing gtk-2.0, actually [21:19] Slonkie, i recommand you also download Dust Burnt, its much sexier with thunar [21:19] for sdo 1shw it says command not found [21:19] "sudo lshw", its L S H W [21:20] And sUdo :) [21:20] sudo fdisk -l is also a L [21:20] ok it says...a lot umm what part should I rewrite here? [21:20] Dust burnt.. is that at xfce-look.org too? [21:20] Anything that looks like "seagate, maxtor", or whatever is the name of your hard drive disk's constructor [21:21] for fdisk -l it says cannot open /dev/sda [21:21] if you don't know what hardware you have, give me the exact name of your pc (for instance acer v29483xfeE3) and i'll google it [21:21] ok, then this confirms your hard drive disk is not recognised [21:21] so xubuntu is unable to work on my computer completely? [21:22] SiDi can you link me to dust burnt? i can't find it :( [21:22] Slonkie, sec [21:23] Ragor, there may be ways to make your hardware be recognised [21:23] eMachines T1220 desktop is the computer I'm using [21:23] https://code.launchpad.net/dusttheme/0.3/0.3.3 Slonkie take extras [21:24] Ok Ragor , let me browse a little and see if someone found a way to make it work :) [21:24] ok thanks [21:25] (and i *personnaly* recommand you to avoid acer/packard bell/hp/toshiba/asus in the future, samsung and dell pcs have much less exotic hardware) [21:25] ok, this is an old desktop, I'm just hoping the new os will make it faster [21:25] does anyone else here run ltsp on Xubuntu? [21:26] Memfis, not me ;) [21:26] :) [21:26] Ragor, my Pentium 2 and my old Athlon XP 1500+ run linux quite well :D [21:27] how do i know if i loaded your xwfm (i hope thats the right word) SiDi ? i really diden't see any change when i loaded it [21:27] Ragor, there are people running linux on your hardware, so its possible [21:28] Slonkie, add it to Dust/ folder in .themes, and you can change it via the appearence menu ;) [21:28] how? =s [21:28] Ragor, you should try older liveCDs, such as 8.04 (or lets be crazy, 6.06 :D), they may have drivers for older hardware that have now been given up [21:29] ok [21:29] i'm gonna keep googling a little [21:30] your disk is an IDE, right ? [21:30] allright. is it possible to change the colours in a theme? I don't like the brown colour in burnt [21:31] (btw, it seems to have a lot of hardware trouble with windows, too, according to google :p) [21:31] Slonkie, in GNOME it's uber easy, in XFCE it isnt :D [21:31] Slonkie, open the gtkrc file in gtk-2.0, usually the colors are on the top of the file [21:31] all right :( [21:31] I dont know if its IDE [21:32] (In GNOME, you have a color picker that enables modifying the colors on the fly ;p) [21:32] where can I find old versions of xubuntu? [21:32] Sec, Ragor :) [21:32] nvm SiDi, i think i'll get used to this theme [21:33] Which country, Ragor ? [21:33] US [21:33] http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Xubuntu/8.04.1/release/ here for Xubuntu 8.04 [21:33] its a long term support version, so you'll have security updates for a few years, and major software updates every 6 months [21:34] ok that's good [21:34] http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Xubuntu/6.06.1/release/ and this one, which is running out of support soon, though [21:35] You could also try KNOPPIX, its a linux distro with awesome hardware compatibility. i've often heard people recommanding it to check if hardware was recognised. [21:39] ok, thanks [21:39] I'll have to wait a few hours to get blank cds, then I'll try it out [21:43] ew [21:44] i'll sleep in a few hours, btw ^^ === danopia` is now known as danopia [21:46] Anyone know how i add icons/shortcuts to where the firefox and "help" are in the tray? [21:47] Slonkie, right click, Add to Panel, Launcher [21:47] You can then drag applications from Applications->Accessories->Appfinder to the white area on the left [21:49] This doesn't add them where firefox is [21:49] Where does it? All the way to the right? You can right click it and select Move [21:49] (And no, it's not ideal, the code to use drag 'n drop instead of this tiresome method already exists, I believe, for Xfce 4.8) [21:50] i think theres a bug, when i press it it removes both the upper and lower tray for like 1 sec and then it turns them back on without giving me possibilty of moving [21:51] Tray? [21:51] What would you call it? [21:51] Oh, perhaps the "Add to panel" thingy is still open [21:51] Well, I don't know what you're referring to, I'm guessing the panel :P [21:52] yep the panel [21:52] well panels that would be [21:52] Well, you might want to close the Add to Panel dialog :) [21:52] it was closed. [21:54] Hmm [21:54] So when you minimise every window you see nothing? [21:54] seems that it's only with the launcher it's a problem [21:54] hmm let me just try agian [21:54] (Sorry Slonkie but it looks like you had an epic failure ;p no offense) [21:55] well there is nothing when i minimize everything. [21:56] Then I'm puzzled, probably a bug I suppose [21:56] Are the panels greyed out ? [21:56] i think so since i'm able to move all my other objects [21:56] What if you reopen and close the "Add to panel" window ? [21:57] anyone using Jaunty? [21:57] yep plenty [21:57] * vinnl wishes he were [21:58] any bad bugs or is it usable? [21:58] that did it SiDi ! [21:58] that's great, thanks :P [21:58] Ragamufin, still under going lots of updates. [21:58] Ragamufin, but sure, it's usable. [21:59] durt, i can deal with some breakage [21:59] then knock yourself out, and speak up on #ubuntu+1 if you find anything amiss. [22:00] lol now the panels closed for real [22:00] how do i "restart" them? :P [22:00] Slonkie, Alt+F2, run "xfce4-panel" [22:02] Ragamufin, jaunty with GNOME is, but for me with XFCE it isnt [22:02] but i suspect my install is broken [22:03] (i installed during the alpha 3, not during the beta :p) [22:03] ok SiDi i will see what happens when i do the upgrade [22:03] Slonkie, "xfce4-panel --restart &" (but i'm too late :o) [22:03] Ragamufin, wait for the stable before you upgrade :P [22:03] but you can try the beta apart from there [22:03] i restarted my PC :P [22:04] now i were able to move them without any trouble [22:04] Waiting for stable in order to move your actual install is a good idea because it wont break your current config. There are intrepid -> jaunty migration scripts that will be launched on dist-upgrade, apparently, and there might still be a few package conflicts, since we're on beta [22:05] SiDi, noted, thankfully if my system gets hosed i can reinstall intrepid pretty fast [22:06] or Debian for that matter [22:06] meeeh :( [22:06] just dont break your system (and stick with xubuntu ;P) [22:08] SiDi, i like debian as well as xubuntu, prolly even more at times [22:08] but xubuntu atm is running well [22:10] I don't really mind, actually :p Debian folks are some kind of cousins :P [22:11] hah [22:13] Well, I'm off again, 'night [22:13] goodnight vinnl and thanks [22:13] bah too slow :P [22:14] Anyone using wine here and having the problem that wine doesn't shut down the apps when you close them? and maybe got a solution? [22:16] It does shut them down [22:16] but some apps crash when you wanna stop them ^^ [22:16] if you run them in a virtual desktop, then closing the virtual desktop will always close the apps inside it [22:18] no it doesn't shut them down, when i check top in terminal i see wineserver + the exe name and in there i kill them [22:18] i have a minor issue to whoever might know the fix, i always get a window open on boot that says my battery is charged to 49% and is probably broken, however the battery is fine under the evil OS [22:24] Slonkie, what about notepad ? [22:25] Ragamufin, cant help, never had that [22:26] notepad does get shut down [22:26] It's the app that crashes when you close it then ;P [22:26] seems like it's a problem with the application i'm using [22:27] That sucks. [22:27] Wish there were made Danish->English and English->Danish dictionaries for linux. would make it all alot easier :P [22:33] right... [22:33] i suppose there is some [22:35] i don't think so, knome. atleast i chouldn't find anything on google. [22:36] Want me to be a dictionnary ? [22:36] I know at least 5 danish words \o/ [22:37] lol [22:37] There's online alternatives i know. but the internet at my school sucks so i need one on my computer :( [22:42] ping knome [22:43] knome, i've got a problem with the new gtk and transmission. see : http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/3729/transmission.png [22:44] SiDi, i actually didn't know we changed the gtk theme [22:44] can i ask how i made xchat invinsible, SiDi ? [22:44] knome, isnt it you who packaged it ? :P [22:45] SiDi, nope. [22:45] damn, something's gone wrong on my brain [22:45] SiDi, mr_pouit has done the artwork packaging [22:45] its MurrinaXubuntu0.2 for jaunty [22:45] oh, i'm gonna mail xubuntu-devel then [22:45]
