| craigbass1976 | Anyone home? I'm trying to upgrade a friend's box from hardy to lucid, and it borks at : 'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend jre for openoffice.org-writer2latex | 01:13 |

| craigbass1976 | Ahh, there's still some openoffice left on the box. I'll delete that and try again | 01:16 |
| alex_ | hi, first time using xubuntu, I have a few questions | 03:28 |
| alex_ | 1. How do I install theme support and compiz desktop effects? | 03:28 |
| alex_ | actually, that's my only real question | 03:29 |
| alex_ | I just want to do it properly | 03:29 |
| bazhang | !ccsm | alex_ | 03:29 |
| ubottu | alex_: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 03:29 |
| alex_ | thanks! | 03:30 |
| alex_ | oh wait, also, how do I install the gnome appearance program | 03:32 |
| alex_ | ok, I've installed my restricted nVidia driver, how do I enable compositing? | 03:55 |
| alex_ | err, so I installed compiz... | 04:00 |
| alex_ | but I don't even see an appearance window in my menus. | 04:00 |
| alex_ | ah, found it. | 04:00 |
| alex_ | but... I don't see any compositing option here. | 04:02 |
| well_laid_lawn | xubuntu comes with its' own compositor alex_ but to use compiz in terminal do compiz --replace iirc | 04:05 |
| well_laid_lawn | !compiz | 04:06 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 04:06 |
| alex_ | right, you are correct, gotten too used to the option in gnome's appearance panel | 04:06 |
| well_laid_lawn | :] | 04:08 |
| ridin | wait, does the window manager change? | 04:15 |
| ridin | i have gnome and xfce installed | 04:15 |
| ridin | apparently yes | 04:21 |
| well_laid_lawn | compiz is a wm and you can't run two at the same time ridin | 04:24 |
| ridin | yes, but i was hoping i had the same window manager >:( | 04:24 |
| well_laid_lawn | afaik you can do xfwm --replace as well | 04:25 |

| arpad2 | hello | 09:32 |
| arpad2 | after refresh rate change, screen goes black in 10.04, any suggestions what to do? | 09:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | did you change the rate in xorg.conf> | 09:36 |
| well_laid_lawn | ?* | 09:36 |
| arpad2 | no | 09:36 |
| arpad2 | i changed under system settings | 09:37 |
| arpad2 | from the menu bar | 09:37 |
| arpad2 | since than i havent seen the ubuntu desktop | 09:37 |
| arpad2 | there is desktop before i sign up | 09:38 |
| arpad2 | from there i can access xterm | 09:38 |
| arpad2 | ubuntu session however goes to blackscreen | 09:38 |
| well_laid_lawn | afaik it would have written a xorg.conf ftle in /etc/X11 | 09:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | you will need to move that file to a diff name like xorg.conf.bad or something | 09:41 |
| arpad2 | i was suggested to do the following, which action resulted in no result: | 09:43 |
| arpad2 | sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup | 09:44 |
| Sysi | sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:44 |
| arpad2 | i got sth like /etc/X11/xorg. conf no such file or dir | 09:44 |
| Sysi | or use 'mv' | 09:44 |
| arpad2 | mv ? | 09:45 |
| arpad2 | ok | 09:45 |
| arpad2 | instead of cp | 09:45 |
| Sysi | it won't help if file don't exist | 09:45 |
| arpad2 | i thought so | 09:45 |
| arpad2 | :( | 09:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | there might be something in ~/.config | 09:46 |
| arpad2 | also sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didnt show any result | 09:46 |
| arpad2 | ok | 09:47 |
| arpad2 | I'm listening:) | 09:47 |
| well_laid_lawn | it doesn't go blank 'till you log in so in .config might be something - what I don't know | 09:49 |
| arpad2 | ok | 09:49 |
| arpad2 | so in .config file is saved the refresh rate ? | 09:50 |
| Sysi | it's a folder | 09:51 |
| Sysi | with settings files and folders | 09:51 |
| arpad2 | so instead of 85 i should change to 75? | 09:53 |
| arpad2 | it might work? | 09:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | worth a try | 09:56 |
| arpad2 | where colud i find that folder and file? | 09:58 |

| Sysi | right click → desktop preferences | 14:57 |
| capB | thx | 14:58 |
| capB | hey, I just installed the xubuntu updates off of a fresh install, and now ubuntu gives me a "Running in low graphics mode" error on startup, and compositing cannot be done, IE compiz doesn't work. According to the error, the Nvidia kernel module can't be found. | 15:24 |
| capB | All of this was working before the updates | 15:24 |
| Sysi | menu → system → drivers | 15:25 |
| capB | ok | 15:25 |
| capB | do you mean hardware drivers? | 15:25 |
| Sysi | that | 15:26 |
| Sysi | (i'm not using english xubuntu) | 15:26 |
| capB | the same Nvidia driver(recommended) which was in use before is currently in use and active. | 15:26 |
| capB | it says it cannot find the kernel module in the error. | 15:29 |
| Sysi | try to take that driver off and install again | 15:29 |
| capB | alright. | 15:31 |

| rumbert | Crystal is the only icon set i have discovered where I do not notice any missing icons. Even Breathe is missing a stop icon. Are there any others with coverage as complete? | 20:12 |
| TheSheep | rumbert: tango | 20:19 |
| TheSheep | rumbert: also, you can generate yourself a set with http://mejogid.ohallwebservices.com/site/index.php?q=node/1 | 20:20 |
| * rumbert looks | 20:20 | |
| TheSheep | hmm... it looks it's gotten old already | 20:22 |
| rumbert | did not install and deb package missing | 20:26 |
| rumbert | Makefile:8: *** missing separator. Stop. | 20:26 |
| TheSheep | yeah, looks like it's unmaintained and rotten already :( | 20:27 |
| TheSheep | shame, I generated a nice icon set with it | 20:27 |
| rumbert | I'm thinking of generating an icon set with 'cp -lr' . Would I need any fixed icons? | 20:29 |
| rumbert | Type=Fixed | 20:30 |
| rumbert | just need to create a theme with a huge Inherits value with a "," separated list. | 21:42 |
| rumbert | No, that does not work perfectly | 21:43 |
| rumbert | it did once i restarted apps. | 21:51 |
