[04:07] <neil_d> join #edubuntu
[04:49] <Balsaq> good morning to all of you who choose to dwell in the peaceful coders sanctuary known as....Xubuntu!
[05:19] <cody-somerville> :)
[05:20] <Balsaq> good morning cody-somerville
[05:20] <cody-somerville> Morning!
[08:50] <gregg> hi all - just installed xubuntu, i'm normally a kde user, and I miss the function in the apps menu that lets me type the name of an app to get to it... is there an xfce menu alternative that will let me do something like that?
[08:51] <psycho_oreos> sort of like run command?
[08:53] <gregg> kinda... but with autocomplete - like if i want to run a terminal and can't remember if it's in "accessories" or whatever, i just start typing terminal then it appears in the menu
[08:53] <gregg> i think the menu in ubuntu does something like that too, but i don'
[08:54] <gregg> don't know what the menu's called... have googled my life away but can't figure it out
[08:54] <psycho_oreos> there's verve command line you can add into the panel but that doesn't handle autocomplete
[08:55] <gregg> http://kde-apps.org/CONTENT/content-pre3/31025-3.png <-- like that
[08:55] <gregg> it's the only "eye-candy" i miss
[08:56] <psycho_oreos> well all I can say is that not every de/wm are made with the same purpose/intention in mind :)
[08:56] <gregg> good answer ;)
[08:57] <gregg> is there any reason the gnome-menu wouldn't work in xfce?
[08:57] <gregg> the libraries are there, aren't they?
[08:58] <psycho_oreos> what do you mean wouldn't work? you mean like there's no applet or the sort?
[08:59] <gregg> no no - i mean, i know there's something like i'm looking for implemented in gnome... was wondering if it would work in xubuntu
[09:00] <gregg> http://www.free-bees.co.uk/images/articles/opensuse102/gnomemenu.png
[09:01] <psycho_oreos> seems like you can't let go of that find capability, something that kde and gnome would have and xfce wouldn't have
[09:01] <gregg> ok... guess i'll have to live with it as-is then ;)
[09:02] <gregg> it's my first day with xfce, going great so far, but that was the only thing i was "lacking"
[09:03] <gregg> well that, and adobe acrobat, but that's a linux problem, not xfce ;)
[09:03] <psycho_oreos> its a far cry but there's an old saying similar to this scenario,"you can't have a cake and eat it."
[09:04] <gregg> yup
[09:05] <psycho_oreos> personally I was the same way initially but then I got over mumbling over the losses of specific things I really want.. and now if a certain thing doesn't have it, I'd look for a similar tool rather than the exact tool, failing that I'd most likely get over it
[09:06] <psycho_oreos> unless you're a programmer, you just have to make yourself more flexible when interchanging between various environments
[09:07] <gregg> oh there's no problem with flexibility - the ONLY thing i need from windows is adobe acrobat because of the text-recognition and embedding, but i just run that in a vm on my kubuntu installation
[09:08] <gregg> xubuntu is my usb installation to run from my work computer where i'm forced to run windows
[09:08] <gregg> the menu would just be nice, but i can survive with it the way it is :)
[09:08] <psycho_oreos> there might be an alternative instead of using vm, you might be able to get away with either wine or something like crossover
[09:10] <gregg> wine doesn't support acrobat, crossover either
[09:10] <gregg> but i can live with the vm - running it seamless keeps me happy
[09:12] <gregg> hmm - and i've just discovered xfapplet - might let me run the gnome menu in xfce
[09:36] <unley> hey there, can someone help me lease, I've tried numerous times to log in as a regular user to my Xubuntu 9.10 system to no avail, I'm in here now as root, can someone helpl me find out why this happened. Is there a log I can check?

[09:56] <__Techie__> im sorry, but im gonna boot into windows again
[09:56] <__Techie__> its an absolute prick of a job using *buntu without being able to use my mouse
[09:57] <unley> there seems to be
[09:57] <unley> a lot of entries saying
[09:57] <unley> Warning:          Duplicate shape name ""
[09:57] <unley> >                   Using last definition in a log :0.log
[09:58] <__Techie__> just a question before i reboot
[09:58] <unley> yeah
[09:58] <__Techie__> have you tried recreating the regular user while logged in under root?
[09:58] <unley> no
[09:58] <unley> sounds scary
[09:58] <unley> what do I do?
[09:58] <__Techie__> got a GUI?
[09:58] <unley> yes
[09:59] <__Techie__> then look in the admin menu's
[09:59] <__Techie__> i cant give you an exact location
[09:59] <unley> users and groups?

[14:21] <m00se> I'm running xubuntu kharmic and win7, and I'd like to change the boot order in the boot menu to reflect win7 as the default OS...can anyone give me a pointer on how to accomplish this?
[14:21] <Sysi> !grub2
[14:31] <Psilocybin_Elf> Does anyone know if Xubuntu 10.4 will include iPod support too?
[14:31] <Psilocybin_Elf> iPhone sorry*
[14:31] <bazhang> should do
[14:31] <Psilocybin_Elf> Cool
[14:31] <bazhang> ifuse you mean I am guessing
[14:32] <bazhang> !find ifuse lucid
[14:32] <Psilocybin_Elf> Well, I installed Xubuntu 9.10 on my friends' laptop
[14:32] <bazhang> !info ifuse lucid
[14:32] <Psilocybin_Elf> and iFuse came up with: USB device not specified
[14:32] <bazhang> from the PPA?
[14:32] <Psilocybin_Elf> wasn't sure how??!
[14:32] <Psilocybin_Elf> It was in the package manager
[14:33] <bazhang> !info ifuse
[14:33] <bazhang> yep 0.9.7 is a fix iirc
[14:33] <Psilocybin_Elf> But iFuse won't let you write to ur iPhone will it? as in copy tunes??!
[14:34] <bazhang> ur?
[14:34] <Psilocybin_Elf> your*
[14:34] <Psilocybin_Elf> sorry
[14:35] <bazhang> oh , not sure; no idea why not though
[14:35] <Psilocybin_Elf> I was reading an article about iFuse, googled it
[14:35] <Psilocybin_Elf> But 10.4 is supposed to have out-of-the-box iPhone support with Rhythmbox
[14:35] <Psilocybin_Elf> So i'll prob just wait
[14:35] <bazhang> that is what I heard as well
[14:36]  * Psilocybin_Elf nods.
[14:36] <Psilocybin_Elf> Good news
[14:36] <bazhang> well actually the iPod 3G, but same issues
[14:36] <Psilocybin_Elf> I mean, I don't use an iPhone myself, but it'll win over my brother & his friend
[14:36] <Psilocybin_Elf> Who are now converts
[14:36] <bazhang> good point
[14:37] <Psilocybin_Elf> Yeah, that's the main question I get asked about Linux: can I use iTunes or my iPhone?
[16:21] <ndrz>  hey, sudo update-grub didn't helped to boot windows, any other suggestions how to solve this problem ?
[20:59] <Timewall> Hey, is there anyone who can help me with an overscan problem?
[21:11] <_Techie_> !lucid
[21:14] <_Techie_> !kernel
[22:29] <lucas_> hey guys
[22:29] <lucas_> i need some help
[22:29] <Sysi> what's up
[22:30] <lucas_> well the thing is i want to o to youtube but i havent got flash installed
[22:31] <Sysi> install xubuntu-restricted-extras with synaptic or apt
[22:31] <lucas_> thx mate!
[22:33] <lucas_> what is the command line for apt
[22:33] <lucas_> ?
[22:33] <psycho_oreos> apt-get
[22:33] <psycho_oreos> aptitude
[22:33] <lucas_> then xubuntu-restricter-extras?
[22:33] <lucas_> sorry im new on linux ^^
[22:34] <Sysi> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricter-extras
[22:34] <psycho_oreos> xubuntu-restricted-extras is a repository not a package afaik
[22:34] <Sysi> isn't it meta package?
[22:34] <lucas_> i dont think so
[22:34] <lucas_> wait a sec
[22:35] <psycho_oreos> correction, I just checked it and I was wrong it is a package
[22:35] <Sysi> like virtual, itself nothing but all important as dependency
[22:35] <lucas_> guys brb
[22:35] <Sysi> !xubunu-restricted-extras
[22:35] <Sysi> typo..
[22:35] <psycho_oreos> it isn't marked as virtual package on my 9.04
[22:35] <Sysi> !xubuntu-restricted-extras
[22:35] <psycho_oreos> !info xubuntu-restricted-extras
[22:37] <psycho_oreos> lol considering the size I'd say it'll be most likely virtual, weird how its marked as package instead of virtual on mine oh well
[22:38] <lucas_> then aptitude it is?
[22:38] <Sysi> !aptitude
[22:38] <psycho_oreos> aptitude is what I use personally, its smarter than apt-get
[22:39] <lucas_> ok
[22:39] <lucas_> i really suck at linux ...
[22:39] <psycho_oreos> we all had to start from somewhere
[22:39] <Sysi> more mistakes, more learning :P
[22:39] <lucas_> thx
[22:40] <lucas_> the first time i had to download something i was like WHAT???
[22:40] <lucas_> but how do i do to install flash?
[22:41] <psycho_oreos> !flash
[22:41] <lucas_> thanks
[22:41] <psycho_oreos> no worries
[22:44] <lucas_> yay it worked thx guys!
[22:45] <lucas_> xubuntu is great
[22:45] <lucas_> like so much faster than other os
[22:46] <lucas_> well goodbye guys
