[00:21] on karmic === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:04] So I was just flipping through themes on my new xubuntu 10.04 install when XFCE crashed and dumped me to the login screen. Any further attempts to login just result in me ending back at the login screen. [04:05] I'm thinking maybe one of the themes is corrupt/broken? [04:07] Can you use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go to a tty? [04:07] you will need to delete the theme file from the system [04:08] I'm on a TTY now [04:08] screen/irssi/ also running an update [04:09] fumbling around with w3m since I didn't get links installed before I started updating [04:09] Problem is. I have no idea what theme I selected when it broke [04:09] I wasn't really paying attention to the names [04:10] It's okay. When done running updates, you go into /home/USER_NAME/.cache/sessions [04:10] delete any saved session [04:11] Okies, I'll give that a try [04:11] also check for any file called xfce4-splash??? [04:11] delete that one too [04:12] then restart. You should be able to log in again [04:12] Most of the time, a theme called Balou is responsible for this issue [04:12] looks like there are some thunar-[gibberish] files in sessoin. about all I see [04:13] Delete those [04:14] You can also look in /home/USER_NAME/.config/xfce4 for anything to delete [04:14] It would probably be under xfwm4 in there [04:16] .config/xfwm4 is empty [04:16] that is a good thing :-) [04:17] So you mention balou seems to be causing this frequently. Any idea what's breaking? [04:18] no, I don't . Not even the developers seem to be able to pin it down [04:19] ah, goodie :) [04:20] so the clearing of the cache and whatnot is mostly voodo then :-p [04:20] It works [04:20] never said voodo doesn't work [04:20] It removes the parts making it not work [04:20] I have one more if needed. [04:21] I'm thinking about blowing away that theme as well. [04:21] It removes the saved theme that fails. [04:21] ah [04:22] I don't actually know if balou was responsible for your issue, but has been known to cause this issue. [04:31] alrighty. lets see what happens [04:34] no love [04:41] here's my ~/.xession-errors http://pastebin.com/jCvV7ENX [04:41] okay, got one more for you [04:42] delete the session in .cache again [04:43] then delete everything in .config/xfce4/xfconf/sfce-perchannel-xml [04:43] then delete .gconfd/saved_state [04:43] then reboot [04:45] uh, that should have been .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml [04:46] yeah figured [04:46] that's gonna blow away all my settings isn't it? [04:47] No, not until you delete everything in .cache [04:47] It will blow some away, but not everything. [04:47] cool [04:47] aight, lets try this [04:47] brb [04:54] that's the ticket :) Thanks [04:59] You are welcome [09:02] How do I have it so that middle-clicking on a window gives that window focus? [09:09] hi [09:09] i have a problem with my ipod [09:10] It won't show up on my desktop. ideviceinfo shows all the info though [09:10] !ipod [09:10] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [09:10] i have libimobile and alot of other packages installed like xusbmud [09:10] !RockBox [09:10] rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio.

[09:20] no i cant browse. I only can see the info via ideviceinfo but it wont connect to rythymbox or any music program and it wont show up on the desktop [09:20] i dont know for sure if its listed in "mount" [09:20] what should i look for in the mount list ?

[14:32] yeah, I'd be interested also, at least to know who I'll have to ping for the artwork next time :O [14:32] s/:O/:P/ [15:24] Hi, [15:25] I just installed xubuntu the other day on my Toshiba laptop U505-S2950. I have fount that the fan doesn't run when the machine warms up. How do I reset the fan temperature activation points so that it will come on. [15:26] it should be in BIOS menu [15:29] I would have thought so, I haven't checked there. My reason for this is that I also run opensuse on this computer and it starts the fan up pretty much right away. The xubuntu doesn't do so, ever. I have read in the Opensuse stuff how temperature activation points are controlled from somewhere in config files, so I thought that it might be the same in xubuntu. But being new to the system, I don't know where they are. [15:34] I noticed that during the installation of xubuntu there was a package that was automatically installed that was something like ASUS laptop temperature control. I had assumed that this was the program that would provide the temperature control scheme. [15:52] I'm running Lucid on three machines; two of them have the "applications" menu that I'm familiar with from Hardy, but this one has a very different menu. Where is the configuration file that controls this? [15:57] jk_: what do you mean by different? [15:59] TheSheep, This one has lines at the top for Terminal, File Manager, and Browser, with Ubuntu Software Center moved from the top down to the System submenu. It also has about five times as many entries. [16:01] That "five times" is for the Settings submenu. === jcfp is now known as Guest95978 === Guest95978 is now known as jcfp === tuvok302Lappy is now known as tuvok302 === tuvok302Lappy is now known as tuvok302 [20:28] hey , how do i change de screen resolution ?
