| Book_em_Dano | Does anyone know if the fact that there is no menu option "Software Sources" a result of a bug or is it intentional? | 03:41 |
| Book_em_Dano | ...in maverick. | 03:42 |
| Book_em_Dano | Does anyone know if the old pathway to "Software Sources", Applications ▸ System ▸ Software Sources, which is not present in Maverick at this point, if it is a bug or if it was intentionally removed? | 03:51 |
| ubuXubu | need some help... | 06:52 |
| ubuXubu | i have a desktop with 2 hard drives ..one has xubuntu 904 one has windows xp | 06:52 |
| ubuXubu | i want to transfer my files from xp to xubuntu | 06:52 |
| psycho_oreos | from which OS? | 06:53 |
| psycho_oreos | err using which* | 06:53 |
| ubuXubu | i want to move the files from the infected windows hd to the xubuntu hd | 06:55 |
| ubuXubu | i removed an infected windows HD form one computer into my xubuntu computer | 06:55 |
| psycho_oreos | so you should use linux, read up on NTFS *which should be supported under linux for most parts* | 06:56 |
| ubuXubu | my plan is too put the files in xubuntu then put the drive back in its normal computer and reinstall windows | 06:56 |
| ubuXubu | i am using linux | 07:01 |
| ubuXubu | all i gotta do now is figure out how to move files from one hard drive to the next | 07:01 |
| ubuXubu | they are now both side by side in the same computer | 07:01 |
| psycho_oreos | drag and drop? | 07:02 |
| ubuXubu | yeah i was gonna but what i mean is i cant see this 2nd hard yet? | 07:03 |
| ubuXubu | i just bolted it inside the computer a lil while ago and was expecting to see it on my screen or in the menus somewhere | 07:03 |
| ubuXubu | then iwas gonna try to move files | 07:04 |
| psycho_oreos | check via fdisk -l if xubuntu can see the second hard disk | 07:04 |
| ubuXubu | maybe it is dev ? | 07:05 |
| psycho_oreos | it will start with /dev, yes but it will have more characters | 07:06 |
| ubuXubu | hmm so somewhere in here there is a file..that is how this new hd i installed should show up right? | 07:08 |
| psycho_oreos | fdisk -l is a command line tool that will show you any detected storage devices and their capacities, etc | 07:09 |
| ubuXubu | found a buch of ata files that were modifed just a lil while ago? | 07:11 |
| ubuXubu | sata files? | 07:12 |
| psycho_oreos | I don't know what you're on about, which program did you use? | 07:13 |
| ubuXubu | eh its ok | 07:19 |
| jim_xubuntu | Howdy | 07:20 |
| Desmo | Anyone familiar with Xubuntu (xfce) playing silly games after install? No panel, no right click, no window functionality? | 07:23 |
| Desmo | If I log in as root then itś A-OK, but logging in as root is bad, mmmḱay? | 07:23 |
| edakiri | can OpenOffice be confgured to use the GTK theme? | 09:13 |
| knome | edakiri, not really | 09:26 |
| ablomen | edakiri, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenOffice#Set_OOo_environment_variable << this seems to work, though icons etc won't change | 09:37 |
| edakiri | ablomen, knome: i'm looking for color scheme to be be same as the desktop (GTK) color scheme. that text says 'gnome soffice' is the default value, but OpenOffice is not using the color scheme XFCE or most GTK apps (including goffice) use. | 09:40 |
| knome | edakiri, openoffice is not problematic, and there's only so much gtk themes can do | 09:40 |
| edakiri | If there is no problem, what is the solution? | 09:41 |
| knome | i mean, it is problematic ;] | 09:42 |
| knome | sorry, too early for logical sentences | 09:42 |
| edakiri | Installing the package openoffice-gtk made the UI mostly alright. knome, ablomen | 11:28 |
| edakiri | That variable seems to have no effect. | 11:34 |
| Zvezda | hello | 13:06 |
| Zvezda | I am using Xubuntu 10.4, how can I make a certain program load automatically on start up? | 13:09 |
| Sysi- | settings -> sessions&startup | 13:09 |
| Sysi- | or just check box in logout window | 13:10 |
| Zvezda | what is command? | 13:12 |
| knome | Zvezda, the command/app you want to run. | 13:16 |
| Zvezda | Sysi- how do I add the command for the program I want to autostartup? | 13:49 |
| Zvezda | its in Applications, Networking. Called "TeamViewer" | 13:49 |
| Sysi- | try on command line, i guess just 'teamviever' | 14:03 |
| Hewt | Hi there I have a little problem with my sound on xubuntu, is this the right place to post a question about such things? | 14:58 |
| Sysi- | yes | 14:59 |
| Hewt | Nice | 14:59 |
| Hewt | Oke, my sound did work till a few days ago | 14:59 |
| Hewt | Now it stopped, so I googled a bit | 14:59 |
| Hewt | Found a ubuntu page where they said I could reset all sound settings | 15:00 |
| Hewt | I'll try to find it.. for reference.. | 15:00 |
| Hewt | But it did not solve the problem | 15:00 |
| Hewt | One thing I noticed, when I reboot the sound of my computer is set to mute | 15:00 |
| Hewt | Does anyone here have other options to solve this? | 15:01 |
| Hewt | reference page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 15:02 |
| Hewt | Anyone? Or am I to bold | 15:02 |
| Hewt | more specific: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting#Manual%20Installation | 15:03 |
| Hewt | Another thing that might help: When I toggle the headphone slider in the Alsa mixer, the noise of the speaker disapears. So it does do something. | 15:07 |
| edakiri | Hewt: you could uninstall pulse audio. that is what i did. | 15:10 |
| Hewt | Thanks for the reply, sudo apt-get --purge remove pulseaudio? | 15:15 |
| Hewt | Im new to this kind of things, as you might notice | 15:15 |
| Hewt | or does apt-remove exicts | 15:15 |
| Hewt | if I delete pulse audio, is it still possible for more than one app to output sound? | 15:21 |
| Hewt | Oke deleted pulse audio, did not have any effect, so now i did reinstall "sudo apt-get install pulseaudio" is that all I have to do to get it back? | 15:24 |
| edakiri | Hewt: most or all of the pulse audio packages start with pa in the name, like pa-prefs. | 15:44 |
| Hewt | Hi there all, thanks for the help | 15:45 |
| Hewt | In the mixer I found the PCM slider, when I put this up it did work again | 15:46 |
| Riddell | charlie-tca: is xubuntu in good shape for starting RC testing tomorrow? | 17:22 |

| Riddell | thanks | 17:26 |
| xubuntu797 | help | 18:02 |
| xubuntu797 | ? | 18:02 |
| knome | !ask | xubuntu797 | 18:02 |
| ubottu | xubuntu797: 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. :-) | 18:02 |
| knome | right... | 18:02 |
| likemindead | facepalm.jpg | 18:03 |
| TheSheep | knome: I think he wanted to display the list of commands in order to quit ;) | 18:09 |
| knome | probably | 18:09 |
| likemindead | I have a buddy who's getting a segmentation fault while trying to install Skype. HALP? | 18:31 |
| TheSheep | what does 'trying to install skype' mean exactly? | 18:40 |
| likemindead | He added the partner repo and then ran "sudo apt-get install skype" in a terminal. Worked great for me. Not so much for him. :-\ | 18:42 |
| TheSheep | no other messages, just Segmentation Fault? | 18:49 |
| TheSheep | it's the apt-get that's erroring out? | 18:49 |
| likemindead | I'm not sure. He's a few states away. I'm trying to get him to jump on IRC. | 18:50 |

| bperry | hi, can I set a config to make xfce4-terminal start maximised? | 22:23 |
| bperry | I have a shell script that I would like to start full screen | 22:23 |
| bperry | sh script.sh is how I run it | 22:23 |
| bperry | but xfce4-terminal is the default terminal and I don't see how I can make it stat max by default | 22:23 |
| bperry | start maximized* | 22:24 |
| bperry | the --fullscreen argument doesn't help since I am not calling xfce4-terminal directly | 22:24 |
| knome | bperry, google 'devilspie' | 22:25 |
| knome | Chaiwalla, you too, google 'devilspie' | 22:25 |
| bperry | does it work for xfce? i thought it was gnome only | 22:25 |
| knome | afaik it works for xfce as well | 22:26 |
| bperry | cool, checking it now | 22:26 |
| knome | !info devilspie | 22:26 |
