| travis_ | would anyone mind helping me on a xubuntu problem? | 00:21 |
| Char|ie | wht | 00:21 |
| travis_ | i installed xubuntu-desktop alongside ubuntu, and i was looking through the themes that came preinstalled. When i went to one specific theme, it logged me out of xubuntu and will not let me log in again | 00:22 |
| travis_ | i can log in to gnome just fine | 00:23 |
| Char|ie | on the main screen login, do you see the configurable sessions? to use xfce ? | 00:24 |
| travis_ | yes | 00:24 |
| travis_ | i tried logging in with xubuntu desktop session and xfce session, and both do the same | 00:25 |
| Char|ie | wow thats weird, are you using the latest ubuntu or you're using an older version and installed the new xubuntu desktop? | 00:26 |
| travis_ | im using ubuntu 10.04 and installed xubuntu from synaptics | 00:27 |
| travis_ | it must have been a corrupted theme, because i cant get in to change it | 00:27 |
| travis_ | there is an error code, but it disappears to fast for me to see what it says | 00:27 |
| travis_ | should i try this to see if there are errors? | less ./.xsession-errors | 00:32 |
| travis_ | anyone? | 00:33 |

| DeM0nFiRe | Hey | 01:29 |
| travis__ | can anyone help me with a issue with xubuntu? i tryed some pre-installed themes, which one of them, i guess was corrupted, logged me out of xubuntu and i cant log in anymore, just keeps returning to the login screen | 01:32 |

| DeM0nFiRe | Hey guys, Xubuntu doesn't come with a menu editor anymore, and I can't find xfce4-menueditor in the snyaptics package manager. Is there an alternative I am supposed to be using? | 01:34 |
| travis__ | i dont know currently i cant log in to xubuntu currently | 01:35 |
| travis__ | and no one here will help | 01:35 |
| travis__ | is anyone willing to help???? or you could just simply say you dont know | 01:36 |
| knome | !ask | travis__ | 01:37 |
| ubottu | travis__: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:37 |
| knome | also, people might just not be online right now | 01:37 |
| travis__ | i already asked the question! | 01:37 |
| travis__ | ok | 01:37 |
| knome | !patience | 01:37 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 01:37 |
| knome | DeM0nFiRe, no, sorry, there's no menu editor for now.. | 01:38 |
| travis__ | i didnt repeat my question, all i said is that i asked it recently | 01:38 |
| DeM0nFiRe | Oh damn that sucks | 01:38 |
| knome | travis__, yes, but see the links please. about the issue, maybe try removing .cache fist | 01:38 |
| knome | travis__, ~/.cache | 01:38 |
| travis__ | oh ok sorry if i misunderstood | 01:39 |
| knome | DeM0nFiRe, i know, it's somewhat frustrating | 01:39 |
| DeM0nFiRe | So I've just got to create .menu files myself? Would you happen to have a link to the available symbols and such? | 01:40 |
| knome | DeM0nFiRe, for which apps would you like to create those files? does those appear in the gnome menus? | 01:40 |
| knome | DeM0nFiRe, if answer to second is no, then try contacting the app upstream about creating the menu file :) | 01:41 |
| DeM0nFiRe | Oh, I want to make a new desktop menu, I want to make a new "Applications" menu | 01:41 |
| knome | DeM0nFiRe, are you saying you want a new menu with existing icons in another menu? | 01:42 |
| DeM0nFiRe | Yes, by symbols I meant like the "xfce-education.directory" stuff | 01:43 |
| knome | right... | 01:43 |
| DeM0nFiRe | Like the symbols you use in the xml file to get lists of applications instead of manually adding a <app> for everything | 01:43 |
| knome | no, i don't know those shortcodes, but you might try searching google for them | 01:43 |
| DeM0nFiRe | Yeah, I am, I was just wondering if you happened to know them | 01:44 |
| knome | no, sorry, i don't know everything ;) (even if i sometimes get close) | 01:44 |
| DeM0nFiRe | :P | 01:45 |
| knome | DeM0nFiRe, http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu | 01:45 |
| travis_ | i found a solution anyway, ill uninstall xubuntu from ubuntu and reinstall again from synaptics | 01:45 |
| knome | DeM0nFiRe, i suppose you are interested in the "create root entries" section | 01:46 |
| DeM0nFiRe | Ha, I am already on that page ;) | 01:46 |
| knome | then you should be fine. | 01:46 |
| knome | travis_, be sure to purge, otherwise that might not work. | 01:47 |
| knome | i will hit the bed now. good luck for both of you on your journeys. | 01:48 |
| DeM0nFiRe | Ugh, wow, it looks like it's been made a lot harder than it has to be, haha | 01:49 |
| DeM0nFiRe | Sweet, I've got it doing most of what I want | 02:03 |
| DeM0nFiRe | Haha, there we go, got my menu doing what I want | 02:34 |

| charlie-tca | Are you using expert mode? | 14:52 |
| Sysi | you need to set questions asked by priority | 14:53 |
| kangarooo | charlie-tca: no not expert mode. ah so in expert mode set at disk boot in f6 and then installing would allow to choose programms? | 14:54 |
| kangarooo | all i did is checked cd for errors then install. didnt change no mode | 14:55 |
| charlie-tca | It would allow you to choose everything, but I can NOT help with it | 14:55 |
| kangarooo | cool im then restarting.. choosing programms is better | 14:55 |
| charlie-tca | Then install will choose and install programs | 14:55 |

| CarlosVela | hi everybody | 21:58 |
| CarlosVela | somebody could help me ? i got a little driver problem with my ati x600 | 21:58 |
| charlie-tca | !help | 21:59 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:59 |
| CarlosVela | ok ok.. the problem is that i'm new with linux and i'd like to know how can i install ati x600 drivers for xubuntu 10.4 | 22:00 |
| CarlosVela | hope you could give me an "how-to", a guide.. or something like that | 22:01 |
| Sysi | menu → system → drivers | 22:01 |
| Sysi | google knows howtos | 22:02 |
| charlie-tca | Have you looked in Applications -> system -> Hardware Drivers? | 22:02 |
| CarlosVela | uhm... so easy ? :) | 22:03 |
| Sysi | maybe | 22:03 |
| charlie-tca | why would it be difficult. This is not windows | 22:03 |
| * charlie-tca had to say it... :-) | 22:03 | |
| CarlosVela | my last time with linux was something like 6 yrs ago... not so easy to setup a driver at the time :) | 22:03 |
| CarlosVela | anyway.. one moment, im doing your instructions | 22:04 |
| CarlosVela | my 256 mb of ram make me so sad... | 22:05 |
| Sysi | if that card is kinda old, default driver may be the best | 22:06 |
| CarlosVela | i think that default drivers aren't so good; i noticed some graphical delay while i use xubuntu.. | 22:07 |
| charlie-tca | Might be some anyway, with 256MB ram, if it is agp | 22:07 |
| CarlosVela | yeah, could be that too | 22:08 |
| CarlosVela | the x600 is on sale on ebay at 1 $ | 22:08 |
| CarlosVela | shipment included | 22:09 |
| charlie-tca | What a deal... | 22:09 |
| charlie-tca | Isn't that a 3.95 loss after shipping? | 22:10 |
| CarlosVela | there are ebay charges too... | 22:11 |
| CarlosVela | very high... | 22:12 |
| CarlosVela | my pc is so slow that im still tryin' to get into appl-sys-drivers.... | 22:13 |
| CarlosVela | lol | 22:13 |
| charlie-tca | It might be running updates or updating the databases | 22:13 |
| CarlosVela | in fact u r right | 22:14 |
| CarlosVela | 174.5 mb of updates downloading | 22:14 |
| CarlosVela | so... im searching for available drivers.. | 22:15 |
| CarlosVela | stay tuned | 22:15 |
| CarlosVela | "no proprietary drivers in use on this system | 22:15 |
| charlie-tca | any listed? | 22:16 |
| Sysi | propietary drivers don't oftenly support old harware | 22:16 |
| CarlosVela | no.. nothing listed | 22:17 |
| CarlosVela | Sysi: i feel myself in troubles.. | 22:17 |
| CarlosVela | :( | 22:17 |
| charlie-tca | Sysi is probably right. You will be keeping the installed driver | 22:18 |
| charlie-tca | he can't help being right, too | 22:19 |
| Sysi | apple magic trackpad look so awesome, but i'm afraid it would be painful with linux :/ | 22:19 |
| CarlosVela | mmm | 22:20 |
| CarlosVela | ok thanks anyway | 22:20 |
| CarlosVela | i got magic trackpad :) that's amazing | 22:20 |
| CarlosVela | guys thanks 4 ur help; i hope to come back for any other problem | 22:25 |
