[13:14] <homebrewcider> I've lost my application button from my kicker panel/start menu. Can someone do me a favour please, right click on applications, go to properties, and where it says "icons" "button icon" click on the folder to the right, and tell me the path where the default icon is please. I can't find mine. thank you
[13:18] <mari> My screen resolution is set to default 1920x1440 everytime i relog, same with boot up screen. I want it to be 1280x800. but it resets every time, and it's driving me nuts trying to fix it for weeks now :c
[13:32] <homebrewcider> is there anyone that can take 2 seconds of their time to help me with the problem described above
[13:33] <SiDi> Do you mind repeating it ?
[13:34] <homebrewcider> I've lost my application button from my kicker panel/start menu. Can someone do me a favour please, right click on applications, go to properties, and where it says "icons" "button icon" click on the folder to the right, and tell me the path where the default icon is please.

[13:34] <homebrewcider> there
[13:36] <gabkdlly> homebrewcider: /usr/share/pixmaps/xubuntu-logo.png
[13:37] <SiDi> I actually didnt know the default one either :/
[13:38] <homebrewcider> thank you gabkdlly
[13:39] <homebrewcider> spent ages looking for it, wasn't far away either......
[13:40] <SiDi> all icons are in /usr/share/pixmaps or /usr/share/icons though
[13:40] <SiDi> you can also use "locate xubuntu | grep svg" or "grep png" to find icons which path contains the word xubuntu
[13:41] <homebrewcider> thank you
[15:00] <handjob> Hi all.How does 'mv' input should look like to move 2+ files at once to the same directory?
[16:44] <Ben_Cs> hello
[17:17] <flinx> Firefox - about:plugins is saying that I have flash installed, but I'm not able to reach my flashchat login.
[17:17] <flinx> about : plugins page
[17:18] <vinnl> Can you view other Flash elements? (You could try e.g. zombo.com :)
[17:19] <flinx> yes
[17:19] <flinx> http://www.hollowdreams.org/chat/flashchat.php this is the login page.
[17:19] <vinnl> What do you see?
[17:20] <flinx> I only see a white page
[17:20] <flinx> but other pages, like zombo.com are working fine
[17:20] <flinx> its really confusing XD
[17:21] <vinnl> Ah. Then I suppose the problem lies in the webpage... Only, it displays fine for me :S
[17:21] <vinnl> Do you happen to have AdBlock, FlashBlock or something installed?
[17:21] <flinx> weird.
[17:21] <flinx> I don't think so.
[17:21] <flinx> This is a pretty vanilla install of Xubuntu
[17:22] <vinnl> Right. And how did you install Flash?
[17:22] <vinnl> (And which version of Xubuntu are you using?)
[17:22] <flinx> Jaunty - 9.04
[17:22] <flinx> I used synaptic
[17:22] <vinnl> Hmm, strange :S
[17:22] <flinx> I know ><
[17:23] <flinx> the page works fine on windows
[17:23] <vinnl> On the same machine?
[17:23] <flinx> no
[17:24] <flinx> I'm on a laptop right now. But it works on my dekstop at home and work.
[17:24] <flinx> as well as countless other users
[17:25] <vinnl> Perhaps in a different browser?
[17:25] <vinnl> (I don't really expect that to help though :P)
[17:25] <flinx> worth a shot XD
[17:29] <flinx> got a recommended browser to try?
[17:29] <vinnl> Ehm, let me see

[17:29] <vinnl> You could try that, if it doesn't crash
[17:29] <flinx> does it support flash?
[17:30] <vinnl> It should
[17:30] <vinnl> Otherwise Epiphany but I suppose that has a few more dependencies
[17:30] <vinnl> !info epiphany-browser

[17:30] <flinx> ahh yes, I remeber epiphany now
[17:30] <flinx> remember
[17:36] <flinx> yeah nothing XD

[17:45] <vinnl> !mount
[17:45] <ubottu> mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount
[17:46] <handjob> i would love to mount it manualy but i don't knew the name of device
[17:50] <Besogon> did you see xfce4-gvfs-mount?
[17:50] <Besogon> sorry
[17:51] <handjob> no i am quite new to xfce so i am using terminal mostly
[17:55] <Besogon> I saw something for mount flash drivers yesterday in xfce, but now Im in gnome... I can't fing it
[17:55] <vinnl> !info Gigolo

[18:00] <Besogon> !gigolo
[18:00] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gigolo
[18:00] <Besogon> !gigolo
[18:01] <Besogon> I found it
[18:03] <Besogon> Still I didn't fing menu editor after I had upgraded from ubuntu8.10 to ubuntu 9.04
[18:04] <TheSheep> Besogon: there is none yet
[18:05] <Besogon> amfull. Why doesn't they use standart menu?
[18:06] <vinnl> What is "the standard menu"?
[18:07] <Besogon> standart menu for gnome
[18:07] <TheSheep> Besogon: xfce uses the freedesktop standard for the menus
[18:08] <TheSheep> Besogon: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/menu-spec
[18:08] <vinnl> Because that is a GNOME Panel applet, which doesn't work in the Xfce panel
[18:09] <vinnl> They do want to fully support the specification TheSheep  linked to, but that just took too much time to be finished for this release. Once they do support it, you should be able to use GNOME's menu editor
[18:10] <TheSheep> vinnl: I thought they do suport it, just didn't write the editor yet
[18:11] <vinnl> TheSheep, they do, only not menu merging or something like that, which Alacarte needs
[18:12] <TheSheep> yeah, you can't edit without merging
[18:16] <vinnl> Anyway, I'm off for dinner, bye :)
[18:23] <Besogon> TheSheep, My old menu that I did myself dont work now. What is the reason?
[18:24] <Besogon> !menu
[18:24] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about menu
[18:25] <Besogon> !xfcemenu
[18:25] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xfcemenu
[18:25] <Besogon> hm..
[18:28] <Besogon> xml menu dont work now

[20:03] <seevee> hi.
[20:03] <seevee> I have a quick question that I couldn't find in documentation.
[20:04] <knome> !ask | seevee
[20:04] <ubottu> seevee: 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. :-)
[20:04] <forces> go on
[20:04] <seevee> I used unetbootin to set up a livecd on a usb with 8.4. It boots, but the font is grossly out of proportion to the point of being unusable.
[20:04] <seevee> What can I do?
[20:05] <data`> hi everyone
[20:05] <data`> i came here to ask for some advice
[20:06] <data`> i have an old compaw armada 7400 laptop - pentium II 333mhz with 192mb ram...
[20:06] <data`> i installed xp on the machine.. it was running ok with all firefox, and even some movies... well i tought id make it faster, since it is used just as a music player, and go with xubuntu
[20:07] <data`> well, now xubuntu runs incresdibly slow.. like reeeeeally slow
[20:07] <forces> seevee, try with 9.04
[20:08] <forces> data`, http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090504
[20:08] <forces> minimalist xubuntu
[20:08] <data`> howcome xp runs faster than xubuntu, debian variation with xcfe as desktop...
[20:08] <forces> :P
[20:08] <data`> thank you, ill look into it
[20:09] <seevee> Is there something else I can try while I wait for the download?
[20:11] <data`> if i replace the xfce with icewm, how much faster will it be?
[20:22] <forces> data`, its better install ubuntu base
[20:22] <forces> then install icewm
[20:23] <seevee> forces, I'm downloading 9.04 to try, but isn't there a way to correct it in 8.x?
[20:28] <forces> the same way
[20:29] <forces> install ubuntu base, then icewm
[20:36] <S0210> is there a "not fast" user switching available?

[22:13] <seevee> Can I copy files from a mounted iso image to perform a thumb drive install?
[22:15] <seevee> I have the iso image saved to /home/me. Without burning a cd or using unetbootin (I don't want to switch to Windows), can I make the install?
[22:15] <seevee> For example mount -o /home/me/iso-image /mnt/iso and then copy the files over?
[22:16] <vidd> seevee, yes...you can....
[22:16] <vidd> not 100% on the how
[22:17] <vidd> but you basically mount the iso as a cd, and install from there
[22:17] <seevee> My big question would be on the bootloader? How would I set up the bootloader after I copy the files over?
[22:19] <seevee> mmm. Can you point to a How-to for Xubutu on this one?
[22:19] <vidd> once you have iso loaded, follow the instructions

[22:31] <knome> rallEy4, it does not exist in 4.6.

[22:36] <rallEy4> I also have an issue with workspaces. Both of the default workspaces are named "Workspace 1" and "Workspace 2". When a new one is created, it calls it "Desk 3". Is there any way to change this behavior, or simply rename it?
