hexdump_Achtung!  I'm running into a problem with scribd trying to view pdf files.  When I try to read them, they show up nothing but white.02:10
hexdump_If anybody has encountered a similar issue please message me when you get a chance.  thanks02:11
gotttohexdump_: Achtung!  using Achtung won't help much :)02:11
hexdump_gottto:  just was playin around02:12
hexdump_got your attention didn't it.02:12
gotttoand lost it too...02:12
hexdump_lol02:12
hexdump_nice02:12
hexdump_you actually haven't ran into that problem though I take it.02:13
hexdump_gotto:  do have any ideas what it might be?  It says javascript void when I try to download the file but that could be a couple things.02:16
gottto<hexdump_> got your attention didn't it.02:16
gottto<gottto> and lost it too...02:16
hexdump_gottto:  ok but really do you have any thoughts regarding the issue I'm having?02:17
hexdump_gottto:  you don't have to elaborate too much, just figured you might have somewhat of an idea.02:17
hexdump_gottto:  must be fun being rude.  Here is an example of what normal people do.  "Sorry man I wish I could help but I really haven't run into that problem before"02:21
AquinaWell that's true somehow, but this is IRC and people are free to idle an answer only at random.02:42
Aquinahexdump why don't you try a diffrent viewer like evince or KGhostView?02:42
hexdump_Aquina:  sorry I didn't reply swiftly I was trying to help someone out real quick.  you say try KGhostView02:54
hexdump_Aquina:  won't conflict with current firefox plugins?02:54
hexdump_Aquina:  thanks for the info :)02:57
AquinaAehm. I don't think so.03:03
AquinaTry:03:05
Aquinasudo apt-cache depends kghostview03:05
Aquinasudo dpkg -L kghostview03:05
AquinaRemeber that KGhostview is for KDE and you need to install some KDE libraries and stuff. Evince was written for GNOME and probably requires less dependencies to be satisfied resulting in less installed packets and thus less drive space required.03:06
Aquina:-)03:06
Aquinagood night!03:06
hexdump_ah aquinia ghost script was already installed03:09

S0210The font size of the top menu labels in my Firefox is bigger than in any other application (Opera, Thunderbird, Abiword, etc.) I have no idea why? Any suggestion what to check?17:24
S0210I mean the "File, Edit, ..." menu labels.17:26
TheSheepS0210: that's because firefox doesn't really use gtk, it draws them by itself17:53
TheSheepS0210: I think you can set them in about:config somewhere17:53

DeccoAnyone here available to help for sound issues on xubuntu 9.10?20:03
Sysiwhat's up20:03
* Aquina using 8.0420:03
Sysihmm, i only have 10.0420:04
DeccoWell, I just installed xubuntu 9.10 on a partition and i can't seem to get the sound working at all. I installed the software package to listen to mp3s and still not sound20:04
DeccoI  know my speakers work because i was using them with xp about an hour ago20:04
AquinaDid you follow the help delivered with xubuntu?20:04
Sysihane you checked everything unmuten?20:04
DeccoYes, everything appears to be unmuted from the pannel at the top right20:05
DeccoI was looking through the help that was delivered with xubuntu but it seems to refer me here and or ubuntu official forums. Would the official ubuntu make a huge difference from xubntu problems such as sound related ones?20:06
Sysino, it's all same on that level20:07
DeccoSearch on google regarding this issues tells me to go to system/preferences/sound... I can not find this on xubuntu. Any suggestions?20:07
charlie-tcadouble click the speaker20:08
charlie-tcaset the controls you want, then make sure nothing is muted.20:08
charlie-tcathen right click the speaker, left click properties, set the master volume control20:08
Deccook did that umuted that wasnt already muted and still no sound20:11
Sysipcm and master unmuted?20:12
Deccocorrect20:12
charlie-tcamore help is available in #ubuntu-audio-help, which is where crimsun and the audio gang hang out20:12
Deccothank you20:13
Sysithere is endless number buntu channels..20:13
charlie-tcayup20:14
charlie-tcaand an even greater number that are not ubuntu specific20:14

deluxobut in kernel 31-20 emerald wont decorate windows21:08
knomedeluxo, so it's because of a kernel change?21:09
deluxothink so..21:09
deluxoin 31-14 no bugs at all...21:09
knomedeluxo, i'd advise to boot with the older kernel and wait for the next update :)21:09
deluxoye... i thought so too21:10
knomeprobably the easiest, and it sounds like it's going to be fixed in the next kernel. if not, then come back again21:10
