[01:13] 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] Ahh, there's still some openoffice left on the box. I'll delete that and try again [03:28] hi, first time using xubuntu, I have a few questions [03:28] 1. How do I install theme support and compiz desktop effects? [03:29] actually, that's my only real question [03:29] I just want to do it properly [03:29] !ccsm | alex_ [03:29] 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 [03:30] thanks! [03:32] oh wait, also, how do I install the gnome appearance program [03:55] ok, I've installed my restricted nVidia driver, how do I enable compositing? [04:00] err, so I installed compiz... [04:00] but I don't even see an appearance window in my menus. [04:00] ah, found it. [04:02] but... I don't see any compositing option here. [04:05] xubuntu comes with its' own compositor alex_ but to use compiz in terminal do compiz --replace iirc [04:06] !compiz [04:06] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [04:06] right, you are correct, gotten too used to the option in gnome's appearance panel [04:08] :] [04:15] wait, does the window manager change? [04:15] i have gnome and xfce installed [04:21] apparently yes [04:24] compiz is a wm and you can't run two at the same time ridin [04:24] yes, but i was hoping i had the same window manager >:( [04:25] afaik you can do xfwm --replace as well === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === kancerman_ is now known as kancerman [08:18] problem since xubuntu 9.10 not fixed yet, seems like only i use xubuntu from usb disk [08:18] when i install xubuntu from usb disk it does not copy some package files , gives error message that CD ROM drive is not ready, where i install from usb disk not from cd rom [08:19] then that error does not install packages, my snaptic package manager empty, when i try to install other softwares i get dependecies unsatisfied error message [08:19] i found solution at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=551618 [08:20] but i do not have cd rom [08:20] how to do this from usb disk if i do not have cd rom, sudo apt-cdrom add [08:36] i shall wait for somebody's reply till evening [08:45] otherwise i shall suicide due to sadness if i could not use my xubuntu [08:49] are you using alternate install disc?

[09:36] did you change the rate in xorg.conf> [09:36] ?* [09:36] no [09:37] i changed under system settings [09:37] from the menu bar [09:37] since than i havent seen the ubuntu desktop [09:38] there is desktop before i sign up [09:38] from there i can access xterm [09:38] ubuntu session however goes to blackscreen [09:40] afaik it would have written a xorg.conf ftle in /etc/X11 [09:41] you will need to move that file to a diff name like xorg.conf.bad or something [09:43] i was suggested to do the following, which action resulted in no result: [09:44] sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup [09:44] sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:44] i got sth like /etc/X11/xorg. conf no such file or dir [09:44] or use 'mv' [09:45] mv ? [09:45] ok [09:45] instead of cp [09:45] it won't help if file don't exist [09:45] i thought so [09:45] :( [09:46] there might be something in ~/.config [09:46] also sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didnt show any result [09:47] ok [09:47] I'm listening:) [09:49] it doesn't go blank 'till you log in so in .config might be something - what I don't know [09:49] ok [09:50] so in .config file is saved the refresh rate ? [09:51] it's a folder [09:51] with settings files and folders [09:53] so instead of 85 i should change to 75? [09:53] it might work? [09:56] worth a try [09:58] where colud i find that folder and file? [10:22] Hi. I was giving xfce a try. While I was browsing through themes it crashed and now I can't log into xfce. Any ideas?
