| soreau | Hello | 01:09 |
| soreau | I am having a problem with setting keybindings for xfwm4. When I go to the keyboard settings and try to add a new command, I type in the command, type a key binding but the new binding does not show up in the list there. Isn't it supposed to? Is this a known bug? | 01:10 |
| eein | can someone help me with xfce keybindings particulary xfrun4 <alt>F2 is not working | 01:12 |
| eein | <alt>F4 still works to close programs but not xfrun4 | 01:12 |
| soreau | eein: What is the output of 'ps ax|grep xfwm4'? | 01:14 |
| eein | 4937 ? Ss 0:00 /bin/sh -c xfwm4 --replace 4938 ? S 0:02 xfwm4 --replace | 01:16 |
| eein | hmm that doesnt seem right | 01:16 |
| soreau | Sure it does | 01:16 |
| soreau | eein: Well if it makes you feel any better, it's broken here too | 01:20 |
| soreau | and now I can't even get Keyboard prefs to open via xfce settings | 01:21 |
| soreau | but I see why and it's not xfce's fault | 01:22 |
| eein | how is that | 01:22 |
| soreau | anyway, I think xfce keybindings are broken | 01:23 |
| webbb82 | can i use compz in xfce | 04:13 |
| durt | webbb82, yes you can. | 04:23 |
| arthurjohnson | webbb82: The easiest way: Applications - Settings - Session and Startup - Application Autostart. Add the command "compiz --replace" | 04:25 |
| arthurjohnson | webbb82: There is another way (some would argue better way) but I've always just done the --replace method. | 04:25 |

| lucijan | hi | 13:06 |
| lucijan | i downloaded the 8.04 image and now that i try to install it booting from cd fails with the message could not find kernal image: linux | 13:06 |
| lucijan | is there a way to see the list of available images? | 13:06 |
| likemindead | Did you check the disc for errors/defects? | 13:07 |
| lucijan | likemindead: you mean after burning checksum verification or something as like? | 13:07 |
| likemindead | Yes. When you boot a Ubuntu Live CD, there is a "Check Disc For Defects" (or something similar) option. Run that. It only takes a couple of minutes. | 13:08 |
| lucijan | likemindead: i can | 13:08 |
| lucijan | 't see a menu just a prompt "boot:" | 13:09 |
| likemindead | That doesn't sound good. | 13:09 |
| lucijan | nope | 13:10 |
| lucijan | must say it's old machines | 13:10 |
| likemindead | Processor? RAM? | 13:10 |
| lucijan | and i bought the cd-r on a bazar in a small village in ukraine | 13:10 |
| lucijan | pentium III 866 mhz with 512 mb | 13:11 |
| Sysi | that should be ok | 13:11 |
| likemindead | Yep. I'm on a similar machine right now! | 13:12 |
| likemindead | Are you trying Ubuntu or Xubuntu, lucijan? | 13:12 |
| lucijan | xubuntu | 13:13 |
| likemindead | Is the image you have the desktop Live Cd or the alternative Live CD? | 13:13 |
| lucijan | likemindead: alternate | 13:14 |
| lucijan | no worlds about live tough | 13:14 |
| lucijan | tested the same cd on a different machine same problem | 13:14 |
| likemindead | Yeah, that's an install only image. No Live Desktop environment. | 13:15 |
| lucijan | i burned the iso with mac's disk utillities but that should be good normally | 13:15 |
| lucijan | likemindead: installation is what i have in mind | 13:15 |
| lucijan | isolinux is not lilo, is it? | 13:16 |
| likemindead | Ah. | 13:16 |
| lucijan | you think it's worth a try downloading 9.04 and testing again? | 13:16 |
| lucijan | it's just a bad internet connection so 500mb take about 4 hours to download | 13:17 |
| likemindead | I'd go for 9.10 at this point. | 13:17 |
| lucijan | is that stable? i will set up an internet cafe here in a culture club and there is no one really good with computers so i think it's good to have something stable, because i will leave in maybe 3 weeks or a month | 13:18 |
| lucijan | also i wonder if it is possible to create one setup (i will need some scripts etc.) and have that setup on some master disk | 13:19 |
| lucijan | likemindead: should i go for alternate or desktop? | 13:19 |
| likemindead | I always go with Desktop. | 13:20 |
| likemindead | That way you can test the Live CD before you install. | 13:20 |
| likemindead | And yes, 9.10 is quite stable. It is RC now and final release in three days. | 13:20 |
| pjammer | greetings and salivations | 13:46 |
| likemindead | !hi | pjammer | 13:46 |
| ubottu | pjammer: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 13:46 |
| pjammer | just downloaded xubuntu to hopefully ROCK my old compaq circa 2000 | 13:47 |
| pjammer | 186mb of ram... should be fun! | 13:47 |
| likemindead | I'd get on eBay and get some cheap RAM, as much as that old machine can handle. Makes a world of difference. | 13:48 |
| likemindead | I'm on a PIII laptop circa 2002, but I upped the RAM from 128MB to 1GB. :-) It flies! | 13:48 |
| pjammer | damn u left | 13:57 |
| pjammer | if a machine says it can only handle 256.. is that really it? without mod-ing it? | 13:57 |
| pjammer | by that i mean is it only a suggested limit, or that's all that little guy can handle. | 13:58 |
| MoonTiger | is this where i can ask about karmic rc? | 14:33 |
| Sysi | about ubuntu karmic or xubuntu karmic? | 14:35 |
| MoonTiger | xubuntu :) | 14:35 |
| Sysi | hmm, there is #ubuntu+1 but you can try :) | 14:36 |
| MoonTiger | ok ... i don't want to ask in the wrong place and all but its a sound issue ... always starts muted | 14:37 |
| Sysi | same problem has existed also in jaunty | 14:38 |
| MoonTiger | didnt for me | 14:38 |
| MoonTiger | *sigh* | 14:39 |
| MoonTiger | is there a solution? | 14:40 |
| Sysi | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/450652 | 14:40 |
| MoonTiger | awesome ... so basically they are saying if pulse audio doesn't start quit the init script ... genius | 14:41 |
| MoonTiger | :) | 14:41 |
| Sysi | i dunno, works for me | 14:42 |
| MoonTiger | did you apply the patch? | 14:42 |
| Sysi | or i'm not sure, i don't reboot often | 14:42 |
| MoonTiger | hehe | 14:42 |
| MoonTiger | i have to reboot in windoze for coding stuff so i reboot often | 14:43 |

| ron_o | this is weird. I'm using Opera and I know my mouse was on a legitimate website without any ads, that I know of, and then all of a sudden a new page popped up with one of those "Google, work from home" scams. | 18:03 |
| ron_o | the question is how? | 18:03 |
| pjammer | js? timers? | 18:05 |
| ron_o | javascript ? and what's a timer? | 18:06 |
| Pres-Gas | Hey, all. I cannot edit files in the RC of Xubu. I have a file in my home and can "less" it to a terminal, but when I issue "vi" on the file, it comes up as a new file | 18:09 |
| Pres-Gas | I have an encrypted home directory | 18:09 |
| pjammer | ron_o: i meant maybe they programmed the javascript to open after 10 seconds or something | 18:13 |
| pjammer | dunno. i try to avoid dodgy sites | 18:13 |
| pjammer | :-) | 18:13 |
| ron_o | that's just it. I was here: http://www.bartleby.com/73/1593.html | 18:14 |
| ron_o | not dodgy at all. | 18:15 |
| ron_o | and I had other video open, now closed, but it was sitting there idling for some time. | 18:15 |
| ron_o | thanks. I'll figure it out. I was way too used to browser hijackers in windows. Don't want a repeat, you know. | 18:16 |
| ron_o | :/ | 18:16 |
| ron_o | pretty obvious it wasn't legit. Some people! | 18:17 |
| Brian_ | i need a litle help i was messing with the desktop effects and somehow there are no window borders as in to close or move a window how do i get it back. in gnome i could do compiz --replace but what do i do in xfce | 18:21 |
| TheSheep | Brian_: alt+f2 and then type 'xfwm4' | 18:25 |
| Brian_ | ya i got it thanks | 18:25 |
| likemindead | I always had better luck with Emerald (rather than Compiz) for a window manager, Brian_. | 18:27 |
| Brian_ | can you use emerald in xfce? | 18:28 |
| Sysi | of course | 18:28 |
| Sysi | i didn't manage to get compiz work with xfwm | 18:28 |
| Sysi | at the end i decided that xfce composion was better :P | 18:29 |
| Brian_ | so how do i get and use emerald in xf | 18:29 |
| Sysi | install it | 18:30 |
| Sysi | and set to compiz-settings | 18:30 |
| likemindead | !emerald | 18:30 |
| ubottu | emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 18:30 |
| likemindead | Hmm... :-\ | 18:31 |
| Brian_ | whats the deal with http://goodies.xfce.org/start#xfce-goodies-project is it a repo i can add | 18:31 |
| pjammer | i saw this cat on youtube run compiz on a similar old laptop... i'm stoked if it will work ! | 18:39 |
| zo | hi | 18:58 |
| Penguino | Hi | 19:00 |
| Brian_ | what terminal does xfce use | 19:01 |
| zo | I'm a xubuntu user and I need help. My cd player does not work, i think that xubuntu did not identify it. Is there a command in order to resolve this problem? | 19:03 |
| zo | (beginning of the previous message) : I'm a xubuntu user and I need help. My cd player does not work (...) | 19:04 |
| pjammer | lspci doesn't have it. i think that is the command. | 19:09 |
| Penguino | Brian_: xfce4-terminal | 19:11 |
| craigbass1976 | What's the best GUI way to browse windows shares in xubuntu? | 19:15 |
| Penguino | I use Nautilus | 19:16 |
| Penguino | I'd like to use Nautilus as default file manager but I don't know how :( | 19:16 |
| Penguino | Thunar is pretty fast but I need some Nautilus features | 19:16 |
| craigbass1976 | Penguino, Isn't installing nautilus going to bring a bunch of GNOME stuff too? | 19:17 |
| Penguino | craigbass1976: Yup | 19:18 |
| Penguino | But it's the only way I know for doing that | 19:19 |
| craigbass1976 | Penguino, mmm, that's what I wanted to avoid | 19:19 |
| Penguino | Oh | 19:19 |
| Penguino | I try to keep a free-qt desktop but I can't | 19:20 |
| Penguino | Damn VirtualBox lol | 19:20 |
| kaeser | HOw do I disable screen lock when lid is close or when inactive? | 19:20 |
| craigbass1976 | kaeser, settings -> screensaver | 19:21 |
| craigbass1976 | ? | 19:21 |
| kaeser | Apparently there is something else that is messing with it. | 19:22 |
| kaeser | Cous I did disable those things over there. | 19:22 |
| Penguino | I'll wait for final Karmic | 19:22 |
| Penguino | Having a clean install is the answer for everything :P | 19:22 |
| pjammer | xubuntu is loading up but the screen is dark..... hmm. | 19:33 |
| MichielL | Hi all, since Abiword is the default wordprocessor for Xubuntu I thought I'd notify you that a new major release is out - version 2.8.0 | 19:39 |
| MichielL | In case anybody wants to package it, the URI is http://abisource.com/downloads/abiword/2.8.0/source/ | 19:39 |
| charlie-tca | Thank you. It will probably make it into the next release. | 19:39 |
| charlie-tca | 9.10 will be released on Thursday, which is a little late to put that in. | 19:40 |
| MichielL | I understand. Well, thought you should have it anyway ASAP. It'll be out officially soon. | 19:41 |
| Penguino | I uninstalled Abiword and installed OpenOffice :D | 19:43 |
| charlie-tca | Thanks. It may be a candidate for SRU | 19:43 |
| MichielL | I think indeed SDU would be in order - it is a major release and especially ODF interoperability has been improved a lot. Also, it has some nifty real time collaboration stuff which is really impressive. | 19:46 |
| charlie-tca | I can try to do that after the sync next month. They just turn them down if we do it now | 19:47 |
| MichielL | Great. I'm sure the users will be very happy about their - the office suite is so central to the way people think, and especially in interoperability the last 18 months have made a huge difference. | 19:49 |
| MichielL | Well, thanks for the help. Look forward to seeing it apt-gotten on my machine. | 19:50 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome. Thanks for bringing it up | 19:55 |
| RhysTM | Hi all, newbie question... What differences are there between ubuntu and xubuntu apart from the window manager? | 21:33 |
| Sysi | some programs | 21:33 |
| TheSheep | the programs that are installed by default | 21:34 |
| RhysTM | i have been using ubuntu for a few years so apart from programs there is no difference in functionality | 21:34 |
| RhysTM | and i take it these can be retrospectively installed from the repo | 21:34 |
| TheSheep | there is difference in that xubuntu doesn't have all the gui stuff that ubuntu does, but yes, you can install anything from ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu, etc. | 21:36 |
| Sysi | it's mostly what you like the most | 21:36 |
| Sysi | there are other things that window manager actually | 21:37 |
| RhysTM | functionality over aesthetics for me | 21:37 |
| Sysi | whole UI is bit different | 21:37 |
| Sysi | it's about what you like mostly | 21:37 |
| Sysi | xubuntu runs with less ram but not big difference | 21:38 |
| RhysTM | OK thanks, i guess i'll install it tomorrow and see how it is. | 21:39 |
| Sysi | and you van insall all UI:s | 21:39 |
| TheSheep | I always end up with something in between ubuntu. xubuntu and completely custom | 21:39 |
| Sysi | i have them | 21:39 |
| Sysi | i get xubuntu, try others and use xubuntu | 21:40 |
| RhysTM | I am using mint at the moment on a dodgy laptop that locks up periodically | 21:40 |
| Guest2906 | hello, can anyone recommend a virtual machine for installing linux on a windows XP pc? i already tried VMware player but i had troubles connecting to the interwebz. | 21:46 |
| RhysTM | vmware workstation? | 21:48 |
| Guest2906 | hmm i think that since its from the same company the networking thingies will be handled the same way :-| | 21:49 |
| Guest2906 | i guess i try virtualbox | 21:49 |
| charlie-tca | VirtualBox from Sun | 21:49 |
| Guest2906 | Yes, thanks :-] | 21:50 |
| pjammer | a #protip... when installing xubuntu on a POS laptop, make sure you get the alternate install. | 23:23 |
| pjammer | 58% oooo! | 23:58 |
| pjammer | beer time | 23:58 |
| Penguino | 58% for what? | 23:59 |
