[01:13] <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
[01:16] <craigbass1976> Ahh, there's still some openoffice left on the box.  I'll delete that and try again
[03:28] <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?
[03:29] <alex_> actually, that's my only real question
[03:29] <alex_> I just want to do it properly
[03:29] <bazhang> !ccsm | alex_
[03:30] <alex_> thanks!
[03:32] <alex_> oh wait, also, how do I install the gnome appearance program
[03:55] <alex_> ok, I've installed my restricted nVidia driver, how do I enable compositing?
[04:00] <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.
[04:02] <alex_> but... I don't see any compositing option here.
[04:05] <well_laid_lawn> xubuntu comes with its' own compositor alex_ but to use compiz in terminal do   compiz --replace   iirc
[04:06] <well_laid_lawn> !compiz
[04:06] <alex_> right, you are correct, gotten too used to the option in gnome's appearance panel
[04:08] <well_laid_lawn> :]
[04:15] <ridin> wait, does the window manager change?
[04:15] <ridin> i have gnome and xfce installed
[04:21] <ridin> apparently yes
[04:24] <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 >:(
[04:25] <well_laid_lawn> afaik you can do   xfwm --replace   as well
[08:18] <valentinex> problem since xubuntu 9.10  not fixed yet, seems like only i use xubuntu from usb disk

[08:52] <Sysi> unetbootin?
[08:53] <valentinex> last year i made usb with fedora live usb maker, that time also same problem occured, but that time i had wired networking and i was able to refresh remaining packages from internet, but this time i do not have internet, first i need to install wireless lan card drivers to connect to internet
[08:53] <valentinex> no
[08:53] <valentinex> Lili USB creator

[08:54] <valentinex> i am full of sorrow coz xubuntu is my study place, xp is time waste place
[08:54] <valentinex> unetbootin is available for xp?
[08:54] <Sysi> yes

[09:32] <arpad2> hello
[09:32] <arpad2> after refresh rate change, screen goes black in 10.04, any suggestions what to do?
[09:36] <well_laid_lawn> did you change the rate in xorg.conf>
[09:36] <well_laid_lawn> ?*
[09:36] <arpad2> no
[09:37] <arpad2> i changed under system settings
[09:37] <arpad2> from the menu bar
[09:37] <arpad2> since than i havent seen the ubuntu desktop
[09:38] <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
[09:40] <well_laid_lawn> afaik it would have written a xorg.conf ftle in /etc/X11
[09:41] <well_laid_lawn> you will need to move that file to a diff name like xorg.conf.bad or something
[09:43] <arpad2> i was suggested to do the following, which action resulted in no result:
[09:44] <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'
[09:45] <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> :(
[09:46] <well_laid_lawn> there might be something in ~/.config
[09:46] <arpad2> also sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didnt show any result
[09:47] <arpad2> ok
[09:47] <arpad2> I'm listening:)
[09:49] <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
[09:50] <arpad2> so in .config file is saved the refresh rate ?
[09:51] <Sysi> it's a folder
[09:51] <Sysi> with settings files and folders
[09:53] <arpad2> so instead of 85 i should change to 75?
[09:53] <arpad2> it might work?
[09:56] <well_laid_lawn> worth a try
[09:58] <arpad2> where colud i find that folder and file?

[10:58] <mohit_> who is the admin
[10:59] <Sysi> ask #ubuntu-ops if you have something to complain about
[11:00] <Sysi> i wonder if he tried that one behind my link

[11:00] <psycho_oreos> either way I can't and won't tolerate arrogant newbs
[11:01] <Sysi> bad behaviour isn't good way to get help

[14:57] <capB> hey, how do I remove the "Home", "File System", and "Trash" icons from the desktop
[14:57] <Sysi> right click → desktop preferences
[14:58] <capB> thx
[15:24] <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
[15:25] <Sysi> menu → system → drivers
[15:25] <capB> ok
[15:25] <capB> do you mean hardware drivers?
[15:26] <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.
[15:29] <capB> it says it cannot find the kernel module in the error.
[15:29] <Sysi> try to take that driver off and install again
[15:31] <capB> alright.

[20:03] <Guest4681> hola
[20:12] <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?
[20:19] <TheSheep> rumbert: tango
[20:20] <TheSheep> rumbert: also, you can generate yourself a set with http://mejogid.ohallwebservices.com/site/index.php?q=node/1
[20:20]  * rumbert looks
[20:22] <TheSheep> hmm... it looks it's gotten old already
[20:26] <rumbert> did not install and deb package missing
[20:26] <rumbert> Makefile:8: *** missing separator.  Stop.
[20:27] <TheSheep> yeah, looks like it's unmaintained and rotten already :(
[20:27] <TheSheep> shame, I generated a nice icon set with it
[20:29] <rumbert> I'm thinking of generating an icon set with 'cp -lr'  .  Would I need any fixed icons?
[20:30] <rumbert> Type=Fixed
[21:42] <rumbert> just need to create a theme with a huge Inherits value with a "," separated list.
[21:43] <rumbert> No, that does not work perfectly
[21:51] <rumbert> it did once i restarted apps.
