[01:58] <toshi> how do you turn off the "growl" like popups everytime you do something like adjust your volume?
[02:53] <pilif12p> Is there xubuntu server?
[07:20] <Balsaq> when i set my resolution to 52kz...and turn off my computer...it does not save my setting?
[07:20] <Balsaq> goes right back to 50?
[09:03] <owen1_> when i type alsamixer i get 'alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory' any tips?
[09:03] <owen1_> aplay -l shows: 'aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...'
[09:03] <owen1_> it started after i installed ubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:32] <owen1_> when i type alsamixer i get 'alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory' but when i add sudo i can see it.  any tips?
[09:33] <owen1_> (it started after i installed ubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:38] <owen1_> also i only have audio when i run totem as sudo.
[10:57] <kromar> hi
[12:39] <ocs_> hi, is there an official manual/guide for xubuntu ? thanks
[12:58] <TheSheep> !desktopguide | ocs_
[13:02] <ocs_> thanks TheSheep
[13:05] <ocs_> TheSheep: but... is there anything specific for _Xubuntu_ ? not ubuntu
[13:06] <TheSheep> ocs_: try xubuntu.org
[13:06] <benchick> hello
[13:07] <benchick> i just purchased dell inspiron 11z, and was thinking about installing xubuntu on it, but got scared once i heard about the harddrive Load_Cycle_Count issue. was it fixed in xubuntu 9.10?
[13:08] <ocs_> TheSheep: already seen there... but I can't find docs for Xubuntu
[13:08] <benchick> must login to write here?
[13:08] <benchick> well
[13:08] <benchick> hello
[13:08] <benchick> i just purchased dell inspiron 11z, and was thinking about installing xubuntu on it, but got scared once i heard about the harddrive Load_Cycle_Count issue. was it fixed in xubuntu 9.10?
[13:09] <TheSheep> !patience | benchick
[13:09] <benchick> i just thought my question wasn't pasted cause i didn't identify myself to nickserv. sorry
[13:09] <TheSheep> ocs_: well, I don't know any
[13:09] <TheSheep> no problem :)
[13:10] <TheSheep> you may also try looking at the bug report about that issue
[13:10] <TheSheep> !bugs | benchick
[13:12] <benchick> TheSheep: i did try, but couldn't find anything conclusive. when i finally saw "bug fixed" someone wrote it wasn't fixed, and later at the post the status changed again to "not fixed"
[13:13] <benchick> i thought someone here might have more info about this issue
[13:15] <TheSheep> I guess the bugtracker is the best source
[13:19] <benchick> you got me there
[18:32] <jar> Finally registered to the mailing list..
[18:32] <jar> I'm so lazy.
[22:01] <Rafik> hi there
[22:03] <Rafik> why tasksel in xubuntu 9.10 don't have the same tasks as in ubuntu ? i wanted to install the lamp server
[22:14] <jar> Why would you want to run X11 on a server..?
[22:32] <knome> jar, x ssh tunneling maybe?
[22:32] <knome> jar, or freenx or vnc
[22:33] <jar> knome, It's not that alternatives can't be used.
[22:33] <jar> It's that it sucks that it doesn't work.
[22:33] <knome> :)
[23:03] <jar> knome, Oh wow I just realized what you replied to.
[23:03] <jar> I thought you were replying to what I said in #xfce
[23:03]  * jar shakes his head
[23:04] <jar> lol
[23:11] <italomaia_> hello! How could i edit xubuntu user menu in text mode?
[23:12] <jar> italomaia_, What specifically do you need to do?
[23:12] <italomaia_> i need to add an item to the "games" section
[23:12] <italomaia_> in the menu
[23:13] <jar> italomaia_, You'll need to make a .desktop file for it since the distributor did not.
[23:13] <italomaia_> where should i place it?
[23:13] <jar> do you want it to be local or system-wide?
[23:13] <italomaia_> system-wide
[23:13] <jar> /usr/share/applications
[23:14] <italomaia_> k, i'll try out
[23:15] <jar> italomaia_, Take a look at the GNOME games .desktop files
[23:15] <jar> it will give you an idea of how the spec works
[23:15] <jar> The XFce team assures us that the menu editor will return for 4.8
[23:21] <italomaia_> jar, holy shit, it works!
[23:21] <jar> :)
[23:22] <jar> Hehe
[23:22] <jar> italomaia_, It's a pretty simple spec to work with. All it really needs to know is the name and executable really
[23:22] <jar> oh, and a category
[23:22] <jar> Most of the rest is optional.
[23:23] <italomaia_> yeap. The category thing got me confused.
[23:24] <jar> Yeah, it can be a bit tricky
[23:24] <italomaia_> Application;Game;Emulator;GTK <- gives me the following menu: application->game
[23:24] <jar> That sounds about right.
[23:25] <jar> What emulator are you using that didn't come with a menu entry?
[23:25] <jar> that's a little weird if it came from apt
[23:32] <italomaia_> jar, actually, i made a menu app for pygame games and i wanted it to have an entry in the menu
[23:33] <jar> Ah :)
[23:33]  * jar nod
[23:33] <italomaia_> had some hard time finding docs about editing xfce menu by hand
[23:33] <jar> italomaia_, the cool thing is .desktop is for ALL menus
[23:33] <jar> it'll work in GNOME too
[23:33] <italomaia_> hummm
[23:33] <jar> gnome uses /usr/share/applications .. i think kde does too
[23:33] <jar> not sure
[23:34] <jar> don't quote me
[23:34] <jar> :P
[23:34] <italomaia_> sorry
[23:35] <jar> sorry?
[23:35] <jar> For?
[23:35] <italomaia_> you said don't quote me
[23:35] <italomaia_> i tought you meant this:
[23:35] <italomaia_> jar,
[23:35] <jar> ohhh
[23:35] <italomaia_> brazillian here. hoho. I don't get a few expression right
[23:36] <jar> it was just a joke saying i'm not sure so i'm sorry if it doesn't work in kde
[23:36] <jar> :)
[23:36] <jar> i've not used KDE in many years
[23:37] <italomaia_> humm, ok
[23:37] <italomaia_> by the way, i made a remaster of xubuntu these days
[23:37] <italomaia_> do you know of a nice place do advertise it?
[23:37] <jar> DistroWatch.com
[23:37] <jar> :)
[23:38] <italomaia_> k
[23:40] <jar> italomaia_, what did you add or remove from xubuntu?
[23:41] <italomaia_> well, i changed a lot of applications and switched others for equivalent stuff made in python
[23:41] <italomaia_> gnome-games went out, totem went out, abiword...and other
[23:41] <italomaia_> s
[23:42] <italomaia_> mousepad was switched for scite, transmission for deluge
[23:42] <jar> Sounds like you leaned it up a bit :P
[23:43] <italomaia_> well, yeap. My goal was to make something with 700mb or less
[23:43] <jar> I would've went with GVim over Scite ;)
[23:43] <jar> hehe
[23:43] <italomaia_> rsrs lot's of people like gvim
[23:43] <jar> :) hehe
[23:44] <italomaia_> i don't, i kind of dislike it
[23:44] <jar> Yeah, it's a hit or miss editor.
[23:45] <NTFS> xubuntu sucks
[23:45] <italomaia_> yeap. Even tought of using PIDA because of the "vim inside factor"
[23:46] <jar> Hehe.
[23:46] <italomaia_> for video playing, what do you use?
[23:46] <jar> I use Totem or VLC
[23:46] <italomaia_> vlc, totem, mplayer?
[23:46] <jar> I use Totem because it's the default, but VLC is fine with me.
[23:46] <italomaia_> and mplayer, you don't use?
[23:47] <jar> Not for a few years.
[23:47] <NTFS> windows 7 is god
[23:47] <jar> NTFS, We heard you the first time.
[23:47] <NTFS> windows 7 is god
[23:48] <jar> That's nice.
[23:48] <NTFS> windows 7 is god

[23:51] <italomaia_> brazilian portuguese tought.
[23:54] <italomaia_> the name is because i went to a project "Save the turtles" called "Tamar" in brazil, and fall in love the the turtles
[23:54] <italomaia_> such a nice animal
[23:54] <jar> I love turtles. My girlfriend has a pet turtle.

[23:57] <jar> It's a painted turtle.
[23:57] <italomaia_> hummm
