[02:13] <superdump> do any of the xubuntu artwork devs hang out here?
[02:13] <superdump> if not, where might they be found?
[03:13] <FelpsJ> Hi. Anyone here uses DropBox?
[03:15] <FelpsJ> Hi. Anyone here uses DropBox?
[03:21] <FelpsJ> Where is the option "Places\Conect to server..." that exists in Ubuntu?
[05:02] <SineDeviance> hi. how do i install gdm themes in xfce
[05:02] <SineDeviance> ahh nevermind, found it on google the second try :D thanks
[05:41] <ingenioushax> How am I able to play .SWF files in Xubuntu?
[05:41] <ingenioushax> I know I can run them through Firefox, but was curious if there was a player of some sort without using FF?
[07:27] <homebrewcider> hey there, using Xubuntu. Don't know what's happened, but for some reason my taskbar icons are all gone, where would the config for that be kept please?
[09:59] <KittyKatt> I would really love to use my USB controller as a mouse. Anyone know how I can go about doing that?
[11:15] <homebrewcider> hey there, on every restart, my taskbar settings are gone, and I have to redo them, then they get lost again, it seems like my config file disappears or something, can anyone help please?
[14:16] <basajaun> why are the ubuntu jaunty lxde repos never updated?
[14:18] <knome> the xubuntu team is not responsible for updating lxde in the ubuntu repositories. we don't know. you should ask the one who is packaging lxde for ubuntu.
[14:18] <Sysi> ubuntu/debian filosophy is that only secirity stuff is updated
[14:20] <knome> as jaunty is (still) the newest, there might be some other properly rationalised updates
[14:20] <knome> but anyway it's not something the xubuntu team does or administrates.
[14:21] <basajaun> ok thanks knome
[14:21] <knome> np
[15:05] <charding> I found the upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 seamless, except that the upgrade didn't save my synaptics touchpad changes and trying to fix my double taps, tap and move and a few other things impossible to fix.. This is so annoying..
[15:06] <knome> charding, what do you mean with impossible?
[15:07] <charding> Well, using synclient and going back and forth between 10 different settings that change the touchpad settings, I find really frustrating. I tried gsynaptics, but it doesn't cover a lot of the fine features. I upgraded yesterday afternoon and I've been mucking with the settings ever since..
[15:08] <charding> I've been trying to find a 'typical settings' synclient settings to work with..
[15:14] <charding> Plus, I can double click and highlight a word in xterm but trying to double click a buddy in my Pidgin buddy list doesn't work. It does not open the chat window, I have to click the buddy atleast three times.
[15:15] <knome> hmm
[15:16] <charding> Actually I'm finding that in firefox also..
[15:16] <charding> I can't highlight a word by double clicking it.. If I click three times, it quickly highlights the word and then unhighlights it, as it should.. But I can't just double click a word to highlight it
[15:16] <charding> but xterm, no problem
[15:17] <charding> Do you think this has something to do with hal?
[15:17] <knome> no idea
[15:17] <knome> you might ask #ubuntu, as i'm relatively sure this isn't a xubuntu-specific problem
[15:17] <knome> or you can wait for somebody who knows, comes around
[15:18] <knome> or search the forums, if you haven't done so already
[15:21] <charding> Yeah, some people are hard coding the options into their hal/policy file and rrestarting hal or Xserver, but you can also do it on synclient.. I'm just wondering if hal sends out some kind of info to other programs once it has applied the changes.
[19:27] <jarnos> I used UNetbootin to install Xubuntu (9.04) as my laptop does not have CD-drive. I did not find Xubuntu Alternate CD equivalent in the distribution list. Is it possible to use such by USB boot? I suppose it is possible to set encrypted home folder in installation only by the Alternate method as I did not see such an option when I installed?
[19:28] <jarnos> ^9.10
[19:32] <Sysi> you don't need to download with unetbootin
[19:32] <Sysi> jus get .iso and transfer to stick with unetbootin
[19:33] <Sysi> but i can't remember if it's not possible with alternate
[19:43] <mowhawko> I just installed 512mb of ram (2x256) in an older P3 box - BIOS recognizes all 512, as does lshw -C memory. However, xubuntu system monitor and top both display only half of the installed amount. what gives?
[21:50] <Quirkly> aight folks, anyone around able to help me with a simple problem?
[21:50] <goldrake> hi
[21:51] <Quirkly> hi
[21:59] <Quirkly> any life?
[21:59] <goldrake> yes
[21:59] <goldrake> all in tv for inter-barcelona
[22:00] <Quirkly> I need some minor tech support
[22:01] <goldrake> Quirkly, if i know
[22:01] <Sysi> just ask.
[22:01] <Quirkly> how do I make my display settings stick
[22:01] <Quirkly> so that I don't have to change it on every reboot/login
[22:02] <Quirkly> I googled a bit of info on it, but nothing seemed to be able to help me
[22:11] <jarnos> Quirkly, you could set it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or run xrandr with proper arguments as a startup script. Anyway, I think settings made by the display settings dialog should remain after logout-login. If not, file a bug report in launchpad.net.
[22:12] <Quirkly> from what I read, a lot of people were having that issue
[22:12] <Quirkly> and that xorg.conf file is empty, so I thought there was another config somewhere I had to adjust
[22:18] <jarnos> Quirkly, e.g. command "xrandr --output default --mode 1400x1050" may do; you may have to change output name and resolution
[22:19] <Quirkly> that will change the resolution to the specified size? I kinda just checked the man page for it and found that out loool
[22:19] <jarnos> try it in command line
[22:19] <Quirkly> where's the best place to put it so it runs as a startup script? that's not an area I've tinkered with too much
[22:20] <jarnos> what version of xu you are using?
[22:20] <Quirkly> newest? 9.04?
[22:20] <Quirkly> just installed last week
[22:20] <Quirkly> hrm, that command not do much, in fact did nothing at all
[22:21] <jarnos> look at settings -> startup or something
[22:21] <jarnos> you could use grandr to find out output name
[22:21] <Quirkly> yeah I'm just trying to find that
[22:23] <Quirkly> w00t, xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1600x1200 works for me :)
[22:23] <Quirkly> now, to just put it in a good spot, and I guess I could be ok
[22:27] <InvisibleMan> I installed Xubuntu using the Jaunty Ubuntu network boot.  It installed without any problems, however it won't boot.  The first time I tried, it lagged for 10 minutes at 15%, then again at 75%, and finally stopped completely after going to a black screen where it mentioned a lot of segmentation faults and a few other errors.  Any ideas on how I could fix this?
[22:31] <Quirkly> get a new computer? ;p
[22:32] <yag-kosha> hi there
[22:32] <yag-kosha> anyone know how to remove a dead link in the applications menu?
[22:32] <Quirkly> there's a menu editor somewhere
[22:33] <Quirkly> settings ->main menu
[22:33] <yag-kosha> let me see...
[22:34] <yag-kosha> dont see that, sorry
[22:34] <Quirkly> umm, what?
[22:34] <Quirkly> what is in your settings menu then?
[22:35] <Quirkly> in the menu it's between keyboard and moues
[22:35] <Quirkly> mouse*
[22:35] <yag-kosha> well, its actually in catalan
[22:35] <Quirkly> uhhh...
[22:36] <Quirkly> lemme see if i can find a commandline wya to get to it
[22:36] <yag-kosha> would help, thanks
[22:36] <Quirkly> alacarte
[22:36] <Quirkly> that's the program that should bring up the menu editor
[22:37] <yag-kosha> how can i run it?
[22:37] <Quirkly> from a command line?
[22:37] <Quirkly> terminal window?
[22:37] <yag-kosha> sorry, lil rookie here...
[22:37] <InvisibleMan> That computer is for chat programs only.  Upgrading it would be a waste
[22:37] <Quirkly> well, it's that or find it by guess and check in the settings menu, cause it's there by default
[22:39] <yag-kosha> i type "alacarte" in terminal, and tells me its not installed...
[22:39] <InvisibleMan> I ran memtest, and it reported that the memory is fine.  I also ran a disk check and it didn't report any errors.  I reinstalled once already, but that didn't solve the problem.  The computerhas 128MB RAM, 6GB HDD, 355MHz PII CPU
[22:39] <InvisibleMan> *computer has
[22:40] <Quirkly> well yag-kosha that would explain the issue lol
[22:41] <Quirkly> you could install it, then easily edit the menu
[22:41] <Quirkly> eithre use synaptic to install, or from the command line apt-get alacarte
[22:41] <Quirkly> 128MB ram? thta's gonna be slow as molasses at any rate, I did an install on a similar machine, barely had it running lol
[22:41] <yag-kosha> thanks a lot Quirkly, i will try
[22:42] <InvisibleMan> I only need it to run IRSSI
[22:42] <InvisibleMan> And Synergy
[22:44] <Quirkly> so you'd be running a command prompt install?
[22:45] <InvisibleMan> Synergy needs whatever the GUI thing is
[22:45] <Quirkly> ah, so you'd need a desktop install for simplest install results
[22:45] <InvisibleMan> Otherwise I would just stick with a command prompt :/
[22:45] <Quirkly> what is synergy? I'm too lazy to look it up
[22:45] <InvisibleMan> It allows you to share one mouse and keyboard between multiple networked computers
[22:46] <Quirkly> mmmmk, no command line alternative? not that it solves your problem, but the less you install the more likely things are to work
[22:46] <InvisibleMan> By the way, I just attempted booting and it is stuck at "* Loading manual drivers..."  It doesn't go past this point
[22:46] <Quirkly> did you try redoing with fresh install disk? could be the install itself is corrupt
[22:46] <InvisibleMan> Erm, I don't know of any other program that would do this
[22:47] <InvisibleMan> I reinstalled and the problem wasn't fixed.
[22:47] <InvisibleMan> I am installing over the network; it is downloading the OS every time I install
[22:47] <Quirkly> I meant is synergy totally gui, or simply a pretty frontend for a service that could be run from the commandline?
[22:47] <InvisibleMan> There is no GUI for synergy, but I think it needs the GUI thing for handling the mouse
[22:49] <InvisibleMan> "System Requirements:  Unix: X Windows version 11 revision 4 or up, XTEST extension"
[22:49] <Quirkly> I understand what you're saying, it needs the X server to manage the mouse
[22:49] <Quirkly> I'd just drop kick the machine, reinstall, and it would work fine, but that's just me and my theory that violence fixes everything
[22:50] <Quirkly> it's got a pretty good track record in my books
[22:50] <InvisibleMan> Heh
[22:50] <Quirkly> honestly I'm not sure, if all the tests say that the hard drive and memory is fine, I'd see if there's any more thorough tests you can do, that like, stress test the stuff
[22:51] <goldrake> good night
[22:53] <InvisibleMan> Hmmm...  Well when I am installing, I am given the option to install various packages (Xubuntu, Ubuntu Desktop, Samba Server...) and it also gives me the option to select packages myself.  Would doing the latter help at all?
[22:54] <Quirkly> more likely to miss something if you do the packages manually
[22:54] <Quirkly> xubuntu I find is the best on a low end system obviously lol....but dunno what else could work
[22:56] <InvisibleMan> Alright :S
[22:57] <InvisibleMan> Should I ask in the #ubuntu channel?
[22:57] <Quirkly> might be worth a shot
[22:58] <Quirkly> it does sound like a hardware issue, of some kind, maybe an entirely different distro would help Idunno
[22:58] <InvisibleMan> Is there one you would recommend?
[22:58] <InvisibleMan> I had PuppyLinux installed previously, but found out is isn't really that great
[22:58] <Quirkly> well, I like gentoo, a lot more manual installing of things, but I find it starts out barebones and you only get what you need
[22:58] <InvisibleMan> *it
[22:59] <InvisibleMan> Eh, well I don't have much time to spend learning how to operating a Linux machine :S
[22:59] <Quirkly> well, yeha, the install might be better these days, it's been a LONG time since I've used anything other than a ubuntu install of some kind
[23:00] <InvisibleMan> Ok, well thanks for the help.  If #ubuntu can't solve the problem, I'll either just ask later or try and find another distro
[23:02] <Quirkly> and yeah, a more thorough hardware test, that puts more stress than a basic scan
[23:02] <Quirkly> if that even exists
