| Doug_S | Unable to log into and use Ubuntu 10.10 | 01:13 |
| Doug_S | Help! I installed 10.10 about a week ago. Everything was fine. Tried to log on the other day, nothing. Could not log onto and use. Tried recovery console, that did not work either. How can I get logged in and back to learning and using 10.10? | 01:51 |
| Doug_S | I am new to everything Linux. | 01:51 |
| Juanantonio | Hello, I got Hardy64, should I pass to Lucid? | 02:44 |
| Juanantonio | Anyone reads me? | 02:46 |
| Balsaq | good morning to all of you who choose to inhabit the nearly impenetrable digital rainforest known as....Xubuntu! | 05:44 |
| Snakkah | Hi. Can anyone tell me how to change the Xubuntu login screen's wallpaper/theme? | 07:32 |
| Balsaq | i did that! | 07:36 |
| Balsaq | lemme think | 07:36 |
| Balsaq | i went inti the software manager | 07:36 |
| Balsaq | and i typed in words like... | 07:36 |
| Balsaq | boot screen | 07:36 |
| Balsaq | logon screen | 07:36 |
| Balsaq | and there it was | 07:37 |
| Balsaq | was easy | 07:37 |
| Balsaq | i did it in ubuntu | 07:37 |
| Balsaq | i may have been bashing in synaptic or in software manager forgot | 07:37 |
| Balsaq | but it came right up | 07:38 |
| Balsaq | ill go look on my laptop.... | 07:38 |
| Balsaq | in windows now | 07:38 |
| Balsaq | it was called Tweak | 07:40 |
| Balsaq | Ubuntu Tweak | 07:40 |
| Snakkah | Okay, thanks. | 07:40 |
| Balsaq | it was easy once i found it | 07:40 |
| Snakkah | Just Google'd it. | 07:40 |
| Snakkah | It looks nice. Is it in the official repositories? | 07:41 |
| Balsaq | see if it is in your package manager to be installed | 07:41 |
| Balsaq | it was in ubuntu | 07:41 |
| Balsaq | prolly is in xubuntu also | 07:41 |
| Snakkah | Yeah, they use the same repos. | 07:41 |
| Balsaq | may have a diff name but as i say i was just tyoing in related words in my ubuntu software or synaptic manager and it popped right up | 07:41 |
| Balsaq | it has a search feature | 07:42 |
| Balsaq | as i am sure u know | 07:42 |
| Balsaq | i also saw a way to do it in terminal but it looked like a real PITA | 07:43 |
| Snakkah | Eh, easier way would be to just download it as I have the webpage conveniently opened in my browser. :p | 07:43 |
| Snakkah | And it's a .deb file. Awesome. | 07:43 |
| Balsaq | i just recall it being one of the easiest things i have done with buntu | 07:44 |
| Balsaq | forgot how i actually did it now | 07:44 |
| Balsaq | hehe | 07:44 |
| Balsaq | yeah maybe i downloaded it that way...been awhile | 07:45 |
| Balsaq | the carious screens that appear on the way to the ubuntu desktop really stink | 07:46 |
| Balsaq | various* | 07:46 |
| Balsaq | so i changed it right away | 07:46 |
| Balsaq | not sure why they would make a nice OS and make the path to get to it look like that | 07:46 |
| Sysi | i don't think login screen or bootup logos look bad, though i never see them | 07:47 |
| Balsaq | maybe not bad just not good | 07:49 |
| Balsaq | should be like a nice ride thru space, or a across an ocean, or thru the forest or something...or a tunnel that is leading you somewhere important! | 07:50 |
| Sysi | something you get rid of as fast as possible, and nicer than wall of text | 07:51 |
| Sysi | kubuntu plymouth theme is great, pity it don't work with restricted driver | 07:52 |
| === leoquant is now known as Poison-Ivy | ||
| Balsaq | yeah my ubuntu insignia wiggles and gets all weird and squirrelly during boot up just because i use the driver they recommended | 07:56 |
| === Poison-Ivy is now known as leoquant | ||
| m4rk | hi thhere...i've installed ubuntu netbook remix on my netbook, but the interface is so terrible, i ended up using regular gnome | 09:23 |
| m4rk | is there some way i can swtich to xfce without completely re-installing? | 09:24 |
| Sysi | !xubuntu | 09:24 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 09:24 |
| m4rk | oh ta | 09:26 |
| m4rk | installing now. and how do i get rid of all the gnome stuff? can i sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop ? | 09:27 |
| Sysi | !purexfce | 09:27 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 09:27 |
| m4rk | Sysi thanks. I guess lots of people must come here asking these questions | 09:28 |
| Sysi | somewhat often | 09:29 |
| Sysi | anyway good to have ansvers ready :) | 09:29 |
| m4rk | does firefox not use gnome libraries to run? | 09:30 |
| Dracco | Hello. I have an odd problem. When I try to print pdf file from default in xubuntu Document Viewer, it raises its size from 2mb to 15 mb, which stucks the printer. Can anything be done about that? | 12:57 |
| ablomen | Dracco, you could try tuning down the quality in the printer settings | 13:00 |
| ablomen | maybe that makes a difference | 13:00 |
| Dracco | ok let me try | 13:00 |
| Dracco | still the same | 13:02 |
| Dracco | even when i print to file (to pdf) it prints to 15mb file | 13:03 |
| ablomen | Dracco, if it has a lot of pages, try printing it in parts | 13:03 |
| ablomen | i think your problem has to do with postscript files not being compressed like pdf's are or something like that | 13:04 |
| Dracco | hmm | 13:07 |
| Dracco | it has 3 pages | 13:07 |
| Dracco | and about bad compression, is it possible to fix it? | 13:08 |
| ablomen | no clue, it was mostly a guess | 13:08 |
| Dracco | :/ | 13:10 |
| ablomen | Dracco, maybe try the adobe pdf reader | 13:10 |
| ablomen | maybe there's a bug in evince | 13:10 |
| Dracco | uhm well i guess i could try | 13:12 |
| Dracco | ok, cant make it yet and have to go | 13:20 |
| Dracco | thanks for the help and have a good day :) | 13:20 |
| m4rk | is gwibber ok with xubuntu? | 14:17 |
| Sysi | why not | 14:28 |
| StaRetji1 | Hello ppl, you've helped me a lot in the past, so I thought to try once more. I need to autostart xfce4 in maverick, without username and login and without gdm. I can login to xfce4 withouth gdm if I type username and pass, but how can it be done automatically? | 15:10 |
| StaRetji1 | I've googled for it, but all I found was for older releases and didn't work for me | 15:11 |
| StaRetji1 | thx in advance ;) | 15:11 |
| Sysi | why not gdm | 15:11 |
| StaRetji1 | I have Intel atom and xbmc installed on it | 15:11 |
| StaRetji1 | it's htpc | 15:11 |
| Sysi | autologin would be easiest with gdm | 15:12 |
| StaRetji1 | I've found this, but it doesn't work on maverick http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/install/autologin-karmic.html | 15:12 |
| StaRetji1 | I'm suspecting #! /bin/sh, maybe I should change it to #! /bin/bash | 15:14 |
| Sysi | it's just about what shell to use | 15:15 |
| StaRetji1 | exactly, for some reason, my own used tty2 | 15:15 |
| StaRetji1 | so, I now edited tty2 also to no avail | 15:16 |
| likemindead | Anyone know a program that will convert .m4p to .ogg ? | 15:38 |
| likemindead | SoundConverter won't. :-\ | 15:38 |
| Sysi | ffmpeg? | 15:38 |
| * likemindead shakes his fist at DRM. | 15:39 | |
| Sysi | one of the best reasons for piracy | 15:40 |
| likemindead | I spent the last three months converting all 800+ albums in my music collection to .ogg (most were .mp3 files before) but the .m4p are a headache. | 15:42 |
| likemindead | I guess I could burn them to audio CD and then rip them... | 15:43 |
| Sysi | you could burn to virtual device | 15:43 |
| likemindead | Yeah? | 15:45 |
| m4rk | Sysi, i installed gwibber but it sucks | 15:55 |
| likemindead | Hmm... won't burn. Xfburn can't decrypt. ;-[ | 15:56 |
| m4rk | it turns out gwibber has some weird client-server setup that means it keeps running in the background even after quitting the UI | 15:56 |
| m4rk | is there a better twitter client for xubuntu? | 15:57 |
| charlie-tca | Does pidgin do twitter? | 16:00 |
| Sysi | http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/05/03/twitter-clients-for-ubuntu-linux/ | 16:01 |
| m4rk | charlie-tca, pidgin can do twitter but not very well | 16:05 |
| m4rk | Sysi, thanks. did you see the first comment on that page? : | 16:08 |
| m4rk | :) | 16:08 |
| Sysi | now :D | 16:09 |
| m4rk | slim pickings. they either need gnome or mono or adobe air it seems | 16:10 |
| * m4rk is trying qwit...329kB install | 16:12 | |
| jonathan_ | how do i stop my computer from asking me to restore a session each time i log in? | 16:13 |
| jonathan_ | i am using 10.10 | 16:13 |
| TheSheep | jonathan_: in session settings | 16:15 |
| m4rk | qwit is the only acceptable twitter client i could find for xubuntu | 17:11 |
| m4rk | however, the version u get with apt-get install qwit is broken. need to install a later version from here http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/install-qwit-11-pre-2-in-ubuntu-now.html | 17:12 |
| TheSheep | m4rk: who are you talking to? | 17:13 |
| judgen | hi | 17:16 |
| judgen | Where is the xfce gdm menu entry located? | 17:16 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
