[00:35] Yo people! [00:35] Anyone here? [00:36] Anyones here? [00:36] Got a ps3 question >_> [01:09] Hello [01:10] 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? [01:12] can someone help me with xfce keybindings particulary xfrun4 F2 is not working [01:12] F4 still works to close programs but not xfrun4 [01:14] eein: What is the output of 'ps ax|grep xfwm4'? [01:16] 4937 ? Ss 0:00 /bin/sh -c xfwm4 --replace 4938 ? S 0:02 xfwm4 --replace [01:16] hmm that doesnt seem right [01:16] Sure it does [01:20] eein: Well if it makes you feel any better, it's broken here too [01:21] and now I can't even get Keyboard prefs to open via xfce settings [01:22] but I see why and it's not xfce's fault [01:22] how is that [01:23] anyway, I think xfce keybindings are broken [04:13] can i use compz in xfce [04:23] webbb82, yes you can. [04:25] webbb82: The easiest way: Applications - Settings - Session and Startup - Application Autostart. Add the command "compiz --replace" [04:25] webbb82: There is another way (some would argue better way) but I've always just done the --replace method. === __Techie_ is now known as _Techie_ [05:25] hola ahorita estoy usando xubuntu pero al momento de ver un video se traba o el reproductor se cierra (vlc totem xfmedia) pero segun yo solo me pasa con aquellos en donde las escenas transcurren muy rapido o el video va rapido, no son todos los videos solo algunos. alguien me puede ayudar aqui repito que ahorita estoy usando xubuntu [05:25] los videos de youtube por ejemplo se ven bien y la musica tambien [05:25] <_Techie_> !es raffles [05:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about es raffles [05:25] <_Techie_> !es [05:25] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [05:25] <_Techie_> ?? [05:26] excume thank you [05:33] need some help with sound not working [12:54] knome? [13:06] hi [13:06] 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] is there a way to see the list of available images? [13:07] Did you check the disc for errors/defects? [13:07] likemindead: you mean after burning checksum verification or something as like? [13:08] 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] likemindead: i can [13:09] 't see a menu just a prompt "boot:" [13:09] That doesn't sound good. [13:10] nope [13:10] must say it's old machines [13:10] Processor? RAM? [13:10] and i bought the cd-r on a bazar in a small village in ukraine [13:11] pentium III 866 mhz with 512 mb [13:11] that should be ok [13:12] Yep. I'm on a similar machine right now! [13:12] Are you trying Ubuntu or Xubuntu, lucijan? [13:13] xubuntu [13:13] Is the image you have the desktop Live Cd or the alternative Live CD? [13:14] likemindead: alternate [13:14] no worlds about live tough [13:14] tested the same cd on a different machine same problem [13:15] Yeah, that's an install only image. No Live Desktop environment. [13:15] i burned the iso with mac's disk utillities but that should be good normally [13:15] likemindead: installation is what i have in mind [13:16] isolinux is not lilo, is it? [13:16] Ah. [13:16] you think it's worth a try downloading 9.04 and testing again? [13:17] it's just a bad internet connection so 500mb take about 4 hours to download [13:17] I'd go for 9.10 at this point. [13:18] 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 [13:19] 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] likemindead: should i go for alternate or desktop? [13:20] I always go with Desktop. [13:20] That way you can test the Live CD before you install. [13:20] And yes, 9.10 is quite stable. It is RC now and final release in three days. [13:46] greetings and salivations [13:46] !hi | pjammer [13:46] 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! [13:47] just downloaded xubuntu to hopefully ROCK my old compaq circa 2000 [13:47] 186mb of ram... should be fun! [13:48] 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] I'm on a PIII laptop circa 2002, but I upped the RAM from 128MB to 1GB. :-) It flies! [13:57] damn u left [13:57] if a machine says it can only handle 256.. is that really it? without mod-ing it? [13:58] by that i mean is it only a suggested limit, or that's all that little guy can handle. [14:33] is this where i can ask about karmic rc? [14:35] about ubuntu karmic or xubuntu karmic? [14:35] xubuntu :) [14:36] hmm, there is #ubuntu+1 but you can try :) [14:37] ok ... i don't want to ask in the wrong place and all but its a sound issue ... always starts muted [14:38] same problem has existed also in jaunty [14:38] didnt for me [14:39] *sigh* [14:40] is there a solution? [14:40] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/450652 [14:41] awesome ... so basically they are saying if pulse audio doesn't start quit the init script ... genius [14:41] :) [14:42] i dunno, works for me [14:42] did you apply the patch? [14:42] or i'm not sure, i don't reboot often [14:42] hehe [14:43] i have to reboot in windoze for coding stuff so i reboot often === lucijan_ is now known as lucijan [18:03] 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] the question is how? [18:05] js? timers? [18:06] javascript ? and what's a timer? [18:09] 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] I have an encrypted home directory [18:13] ron_o: i meant maybe they programmed the javascript to open after 10 seconds or something [18:13] dunno. i try to avoid dodgy sites [18:13] :-) [18:14] that's just it. I was here: http://www.bartleby.com/73/1593.html [18:15] not dodgy at all. [18:15] and I had other video open, now closed, but it was sitting there idling for some time. [18:16] 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] :/ [18:17] pretty obvious it wasn't legit. Some people! [18:21] 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 [18:25] Brian_: alt+f2 and then type 'xfwm4' [18:25] ya i got it thanks [18:27] I always had better luck with Emerald (rather than Compiz) for a window manager, Brian_. [18:28] can you use emerald in xfce? [18:28] of course [18:28] i didn't manage to get compiz work with xfwm [18:29] at the end i decided that xfce composion was better :P [18:29] so how do i get and use emerald in xf [18:30] install it [18:30] and set to compiz-settings [18:30] !emerald [18:30] 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. [18:31] Hmm... :-\ [18:31] whats the deal with http://goodies.xfce.org/start#xfce-goodies-project is it a repo i can add [18:39] i saw this cat on youtube run compiz on a similar old laptop... i'm stoked if it will work ! [18:58] hi [19:00] Hi [19:01] what terminal does xfce use [19:03] 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? [19:04] (beginning of the previous message) : I'm a xubuntu user and I need help. My cd player does not work (...) [19:09] lspci doesn't have it. i think that is the command. [19:11] Brian_: xfce4-terminal [19:15] What's the best GUI way to browse windows shares in xubuntu? [19:16] I use Nautilus [19:16] I'd like to use Nautilus as default file manager but I don't know how :( [19:16] Thunar is pretty fast but I need some Nautilus features [19:17] Penguino, Isn't installing nautilus going to bring a bunch of GNOME stuff too? [19:18] craigbass1976: Yup [19:19] But it's the only way I know for doing that [19:19] Penguino, mmm, that's what I wanted to avoid [19:19] Oh [19:20] I try to keep a free-qt desktop but I can't [19:20] Damn VirtualBox lol [19:20] HOw do I disable screen lock when lid is close or when inactive? [19:21] kaeser, settings -> screensaver [19:21] ? [19:22] Apparently there is something else that is messing with it. [19:22] Cous I did disable those things over there. [19:22] I'll wait for final Karmic [19:22] Having a clean install is the answer for everything :P [19:33] xubuntu is loading up but the screen is dark..... hmm. [19:39] 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] In case anybody wants to package it, the URI is http://abisource.com/downloads/abiword/2.8.0/source/ [19:39] Thank you. It will probably make it into the next release. [19:40] 9.10 will be released on Thursday, which is a little late to put that in. [19:41] I understand. Well, thought you should have it anyway ASAP. It'll be out officially soon. [19:43] I uninstalled Abiword and installed OpenOffice :D [19:43] Thanks. It may be a candidate for SRU [19:46] 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. [19:47] I can try to do that after the sync next month. They just turn them down if we do it now [19:49] 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. [19:50] Well, thanks for the help. Look forward to seeing it apt-gotten on my machine. [19:55] You are welcome. Thanks for bringing it up [21:33] Hi all, newbie question... What differences are there between ubuntu and xubuntu apart from the window manager? [21:33] some programs [21:34] the programs that are installed by default [21:34] i have been using ubuntu for a few years so apart from programs there is no difference in functionality [21:34] and i take it these can be retrospectively installed from the repo [21:36] 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] it's mostly what you like the most [21:37] there are other things that window manager actually [21:37] functionality over aesthetics for me [21:37] whole UI is bit different [21:37] it's about what you like mostly [21:38] xubuntu runs with less ram but not big difference [21:39] OK thanks, i guess i'll install it tomorrow and see how it is. [21:39] and you van insall all UI:s [21:39] I always end up with something in between ubuntu. xubuntu and completely custom [21:39] i have them [21:40] i get xubuntu, try others and use xubuntu [21:40] I am using mint at the moment on a dodgy laptop that locks up periodically [21:46] 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. [21:48] vmware workstation? [21:49] hmm i think that since its from the same company the networking thingies will be handled the same way :-| [21:49] i guess i try virtualbox [21:49] VirtualBox from Sun [21:50] Yes, thanks :-] [23:23] a #protip... when installing xubuntu on a POS laptop, make sure you get the alternate install. [23:58] 58% oooo! [23:58] beer time [23:59] 58% for what?
