[00:48] hello all [00:49] how do i get rid of this god-awful coloring and get the "classic" xubuntu look? [00:50] ? [00:50] the panel is black [00:50] yes. [00:50] the menu bar is black [00:50] applications -> settings -> appearance [00:50] this is ugly [00:51] what was 9.04? [00:52] murrinastormcloud maybe [00:53] the coloring is MUCH better [00:55] ty [00:55] np [01:11] Hi! I'm a first time xubuntu/linux user [01:12] Can anyone help me with the fonts on firefox? I don't like the way they are displayed [01:12] How can I make them look more like firefox in Windows? [05:12] Hi. How do I disable the annoying buzz sound in console and firefox? [05:12] i tried to disable by using sound alerts setting in sound mixer preference, but this has no effect. [05:13] The error sound sounds like the old style PC beeps, but more annoying.. [06:11] i am using xubuntu 9.10 set to automatic login but now and again it starts up with the login window and i have try several times typing in my password untill eventually it works anyone tell me why it does this please [07:24] Does ubuntu provide free storage? [07:25] sorta doubt it, why? [09:30] Hi guys. Does Xubuntu 9.10 support EeePC 1000 out of the box? Do things like wifi, webcam, bluetooth "just work"? [13:11] Huhu. [13:51] Animagladius: do you have a question? [13:54] Nope, I'm here to help other people, if needed. But thanks. :) [13:55] Animagladius: yeah, me too:) [14:06] hello [14:07] !hi | druid_ [14:07] druid_: 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! [14:07] I have a problem with xfce eating my Escape keys [14:08] when I run xev and press Escape the actions I get is FocusOut - FocusIn [14:09] instead of the usual KeyPressed - KeyReleased [14:10] does anyone know what might be the problem? [14:10] hi :) [14:11] Hello MoonTiger [14:12] so i'm finding the bluetooth completely foobar'd in karmic xubuntu ... is it just me? [14:19] My laptop is hanging on shut down and never powers off. Anyone else having this issue & know how to address it? [14:19] i have had that related to bluetooth ... do you have a bluetooth adapter built in? [14:19] Yes, others are seeing this in 9.10. Don't know how to fix it yet [14:20] bug 475920 [14:20] Ah. [14:20] if you could add any information that will help. Also, you might add what your hardware is. [14:21] No, MoonTiger, this laptop doesn't have Bluetooth. [14:21] ok [14:21] At least add that you experience it. gives me better grounds to confirm it [14:21] Link to bug, charlie-tca ? [14:22] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475920 [14:23] Gracias. [14:23] No, thank you [14:25] ahhhhhhh i'm seeing this too ... last night i thought i had shut my other laptop down but today it was actually still on with a blank screen [14:25] hmmmmmmm karmic is looking a little shaky right now [14:25] It seems so, at times. [14:25] All the bad press is really frustrating. ;-( [14:25] wonder if its worth going back to jaunty for a while more [14:26] "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" [14:26] It might be, MoonTiger [14:26] likemindead: agreed [14:26] but I wonder how much is because we have grown so much? [14:26] If Microsoft wasn't running scared of us, would you see so much press? [14:26] likemindead, i know the sky isnt falling and i know they will iron out the problems but i do need to actually be able to use my computers for work stuff so i cannot have serious issues like this happening [14:27] Sorry, MoonTiger, that wasn't directed at you, but at the bad press reactionaries. [14:27] i just think the 6 month release regardless is wrong [14:27] likemindead, oh sorry ;) [14:27] if it isnt ready it isnt ready so dont release [14:28] For some, we are like ms now, gotta wait 6 months to iron out the wrinkles before upgrading. For others, the need to upgrade is right now. [14:28] I just try to tell people to use the LTS in most cases. I tell them the six-month releases are for bleeding edge, risk takers. [14:28] Intel video is working again in 9.10 [14:28] charlie-tca, i have an ati card so im screwed with either [14:29] sorry! for you, a couple of months, at least, before upgrading. [14:29] i will give karmic until i do a clean install of the release version of 7 to come right otherwise i'll wipe and go back to jaunty til its fixed i think [14:30] and likemindead you are right ... MS is making sure any small glitches with anything else gets a lot of press [14:30] There was bound to be some hickups with this release because of so much underlying things changing (ext4, upstart, grub2)... [14:30] yah agreed [14:30] Some of the items were already fixed in updates, but I don't think the shutdown issue was even known. [14:31] i think maybe they should have delayed launch for another 2 weeks or so to find these things [14:31] I just wish they would have held out on grub2 until upstream had good documentation on it...that is my only beef. Right now, Ubu has the best, but last I checked it is burried in the wiki [14:31] i mean a week between RC and RTM isn't very long [14:31] But those who test it still haven't seen these things [14:31] The only ones seeing them did not do the tests [14:32] with a longer RC period they might have gotten more reports [14:32] I'm hearing that Xubuntu 9.10 is having fewer issues than Ubuntu 9.10 ;-) [14:32] At least from my LUG. [14:33] We have fewer users, too [14:33] Xfce FTW! [14:33] well im on xubuntu and having these issues [14:33] yes [14:34] and every user with issues counts [14:34] i mean i have a pretty common laptop i think ... a thinkpad [14:34] charlie-tca is right...if more people used it, that stuff would be revealed as well. [14:34] so its not like i have some really obscure hardware [14:35] funnily enough the newer thinkpad has less issues [14:35] Unfortunately, thinkpads are also some of the most difficult to get working right in Linux, MoonTiger [14:36] There are whole websites dedicated to solving thinkpad issues [14:36] charlie-tca, huh?? the frdora guys develop on thinkpads [14:36] my thinkpad t500 has no issues at all [14:36] they are rather common, that's good [14:36] Great! [14:37] my older t41p has the bluetooth and shutdown problems [14:37] otherwise it runs great with karmic [14:37] and im loving the firefix 3.5 integration finally [14:37] That's why I asked for the hardware info on the bug report [14:38] Maybe it is limited to specific hardware [14:38] its just odd that older hardware breaks ... usually the other way round [14:39] The Newest breaks, too [14:50] Later, all. Peace. [14:57] OpenWeek session - Xubuntu Team in 3 minutes in #ubuntu-classroom [15:33] Hey guys, gdm is launghing xfce4 and immideatly crashing - where are the logs?

[20:40] Sysi, i saw it in a launchpad. [20:41] Sysi, once of the members of awn say that they are working on it. let see for the next version. [21:00] good evening [21:15] hello is this place for assistance with xubuntu? [21:15] phatty, yes [21:15] thank you. [21:15] hi charlie-tca, I've added some information [21:15] to the shutdown bug [21:15] Thanks, Person[a] [21:16] That's greatly appreciately again. [21:16] I just upgraded to xubuntu 9.10 from previous version and the wireless fails to connect to my wireless router. any suggestions? used to work before upgrade [21:16] I can still "see" the networks, just can't connect even with security off [21:16] you are very wellcome [21:17] but it's fine with the wired connection [21:19] any ideas? [21:20] phatty: what is the wireless card? [21:20] it's a USB linksys network adapter (wireless) [21:21] Try it in a different USB port [21:21] is it ok to try it while I'm connected on hardwire? [21:21] meaning will I still be in here. [21:22] It will not allow both a wired and a wireless connection at the same time. [21:22] ok, brb [21:22] Sorry [21:22] it's cool. [21:22] I'm going to come in her ewith a dif computer [21:23] and then try with laptop all the ideas [21:23] Okay, [21:23] should've though of that first. [21:23] this is phatty on dif pc [21:27] I"m thinking there may be something wrong with the driver because the connection % is waaaay lower than it used to be [21:28] and I'm right next to the wireless router right now. Usually about 50 feet away [21:28] but connected? [21:28] make that about 30ft [21:28] it's not showing a % anymore but there's only one green bar out of al of them green [21:28] and will not connect in any of the 4 usb ports I have [21:29] Which connection is poor, then? [21:29] now will not connect online at all. [21:30] But from the window where I can see what wireless networks are available, the graphical representation of connectivity strength appears lower than it used to prior to this upgrade. [21:37] any ideas? [21:38] I don't really know. I am not good on wireless. [21:38] neither am I. [21:38] lol [21:39] wireless frustrates the crap out of me. [21:39] I'm much more familiar with windows. [21:39] anything like "drivers" on ubuntu [21:40] You can try asking in #ubuntu or ##beginners-help [21:40] now that I think of it... I remember my g/f trying to connect a webcam to this computer [21:40] They have more users [21:40] maybe conflicting. [21:40] ok, thanks. [21:48] charlie.. [21:48] are there "drivers" in xubuntu like windows? [21:49] for some stuff, yes. For most items, the drivers are built in. [21:49] The wireless drivers are mostly built into the kernel in Xubuntu [21:50] that means it's with the OS right? [21:50] They are integrated into the core, because it works better that way. [21:50] right [21:50] ok, understood [21:50] I'll fiddle with it some more. [21:50] I'm not sure if my g/f did something trying to get a webcam to work also. [21:50] But I think this happened after the upgrade. [21:51] Hard to say [21:53] about ready to throw this POS out the window [21:53] but I dont like my g/f using my computer [21:53] this is for her to screw up. lol [21:54] Just repost the question every 3-4 hours and see if someone else can help out. [21:55] the laptop might be on the lawn by then. lol [21:55] thanks though. [21:56] Wish I could be help. [21:56] just that you're nice enough to try is helpful [21:56] much appreciated. [21:57] No problem. That is what most of us are here for. [22:01] hi [22:32] Hey. [22:32] I got Windows 98 on a 60GB HD [22:32] and right now, I'm installing Xubuntu on a 20GB slave [22:32] 1GHz 512mb RAM [22:32] How will Xubuntu run? [23:32] hi i am new with linux. I installed ubuntu server , and then xfce.... now i am having a hell trouble to set up my screen resolution...i followed several steps on how to configure the xorg.conf file but i didnt suceeded! I am getting the fonts completely small, and the resolution which is 1366x768 is not correct displayed [23:32] any help? [23:33] MD-11, install xubuntu-desktop package would be my first adice [23:33] *advice [23:33] yeah i did it already [23:33] i have the xubuntu-desktop [23:35] MD-11, right. you can set font size from applications -> settings -> appearance -> tab fonts [23:35] thanks knome...and what about the screen resolution? [23:36] MD-11, that should be probed automatically, but you could look at applications -> settings -> display. you might also need a propietary driver to enable the highest possible resolution, which you can enable from applications -> system -> hardware driverd [23:37] ill give a try knome...the server is at my living room....i come back here if i suceed or not! THANKS [23:37] MD-11, np [23:41] hey knome...the fonts are so small that i cannot even read it!!! That started after changing xorg.conf... [23:41] MD-11, maybe you should remove whatever you changed in xorg.conf [23:42] i'll give a try, and ill set to 800x600 to see the results [23:46] knome do i have to restart the comp after changing xorg.conf? [23:46] MD-11, you need to restart X, but booting would be a good way to do that [23:47] i did it, but how can i restart just X?! [23:53] knome, no way to make that change, what would be an ultimate solution...reinstalling xubuntu-desktop?! [23:54] MD-11, no, i don't think that would help [23:54] MD-11, are you sure the xorg.conf is as it was before you fiddled with it? [23:54] do you have a default xorg.conf? that comes with the original? [23:55] no, i'm afraid i don't. also, the xorg.conf is a bit differente depending on the hardware configuration [23:55] no i cant be 100% sure because i barely can read what is there! however i did a blind change, just erasing and typing again [23:56] anyway i cant find the font size that you told me [23:56] i went to application -> settings -> manager [23:56] and there i tried both desktop and display [23:56] and didnt find anything
