[01:13] <Doug_S> Unable to log into and use Ubuntu 10.10
[01:51] <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.
[02:44] <Juanantonio> Hello, I got Hardy64, should I pass to Lucid?
[02:46] <Juanantonio> Anyone reads me?
[05:44] <Balsaq> good morning to all of you who choose to inhabit the nearly impenetrable digital rainforest known as....Xubuntu!
[07:32] <Snakkah> Hi. Can anyone tell me how to change the Xubuntu login screen's wallpaper/theme?
[07:36] <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
[07:37] <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
[07:38] <Balsaq> but it came right up
[07:38] <Balsaq> ill go look on my laptop....
[07:38] <Balsaq> in windows now
[07:40] <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.
[07:41] <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
[07:42] <Balsaq> it has a search feature
[07:42] <Balsaq> as i am sure u know
[07:43] <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.
[07:44] <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
[07:45] <Balsaq> yeah maybe i downloaded it that way...been awhile
[07:46] <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
[07:47] <Sysi> i don't think login screen or bootup logos look bad, though i never see them
[07:49] <Balsaq> maybe not bad just not good
[07:50] <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!
[07:51] <Sysi> something you get rid of as fast as possible, and nicer than wall of text
[07:52] <Sysi> kubuntu plymouth theme is great, pity it don't work with restricted driver
[07:56] <Balsaq> yeah my ubuntu insignia wiggles and gets all weird and squirrelly during boot up just because i use the driver they recommended
[09:23] <m4rk> hi thhere...i've installed ubuntu netbook remix on my netbook, but the interface is so terrible, i ended up using regular gnome
[09:24] <m4rk> is there some way i can swtich to xfce without completely re-installing?
[09:24] <Sysi> !xubuntu
[09:26] <m4rk> oh ta
[09:27] <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
[09:28] <m4rk> Sysi thanks. I guess lots of people must come here asking these questions
[09:29] <Sysi> somewhat often
[09:29] <Sysi> anyway good to have ansvers ready :)
[09:30] <m4rk> does firefox not use gnome libraries to run?
[12:57] <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?
[13:00] <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
[13:02] <Dracco> still the same
[13:03] <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
[13:04] <ablomen> i think your problem has to do with postscript files not being compressed like pdf's are or something like that
[13:07] <Dracco> hmm
[13:07] <Dracco> it has 3 pages
[13:08] <Dracco> and about bad compression, is it possible to fix it?
[13:08] <ablomen> no clue, it was mostly a guess
[13:10] <Dracco> :/
[13:10] <ablomen> Dracco, maybe try the adobe pdf reader
[13:10] <ablomen> maybe there's a bug in evince
[13:12] <Dracco> uhm well i guess i could try
[13:20] <Dracco> ok, cant make it yet and have to go
[13:20] <Dracco> thanks for the help and have a good day :)
[14:17] <m4rk> is gwibber ok with xubuntu?
[14:28] <Sysi> why not
[15:10] <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?
[15:11] <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
[15:12] <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
[15:14] <StaRetji1> I'm suspecting #! /bin/sh, maybe I should change it to #! /bin/bash
[15:15] <Sysi> it's just about what shell to use
[15:15] <StaRetji1> exactly, for some reason, my own used tty2
[15:16] <StaRetji1> so, I now edited tty2 also to no avail
[15:38] <likemindead> Anyone know a program that will convert .m4p to .ogg ?
[15:38] <likemindead> SoundConverter won't. :-\
[15:38] <Sysi> ffmpeg?
[15:39]  * likemindead shakes his fist at DRM.
[15:40] <Sysi> one of the best reasons for piracy
[15:42] <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.
[15:43] <likemindead> I guess I could burn them to audio CD and then rip them...
[15:43] <Sysi> you could burn to virtual device
[15:45] <likemindead> Yeah?
[15:55] <m4rk> Sysi, i installed gwibber but it sucks
[15:56] <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
[15:57] <m4rk> is there a better twitter client for xubuntu?
[16:00] <charlie-tca> Does pidgin do twitter?
[16:01] <Sysi> http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/05/03/twitter-clients-for-ubuntu-linux/
[16:05] <m4rk> charlie-tca, pidgin can do twitter but not very well
[16:08] <m4rk> Sysi, thanks. did you see the first comment on that page? :
[16:08] <m4rk> :)
[16:09] <Sysi> now :D
[16:10] <m4rk> slim pickings. they either need gnome or mono or adobe air it seems
[16:12]  * m4rk is trying qwit...329kB install
[16:13] <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
[16:15] <TheSheep> jonathan_: in session settings
[17:11] <m4rk> qwit is the only acceptable twitter client i could find for xubuntu
[17:12] <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
[17:13] <TheSheep> m4rk: who are you talking to?
[17:16] <judgen> hi
[17:16] <judgen> Where is the xfce gdm menu entry located?
[18:17] <charlie-tca> so, if the video card blanks the screen during the upgrade, is it bad?
[18:17] <charlie-tca> as in, won't turn the monitor back on...
[21:19] <xubuntu087> Hi
[23:13] <hutch> Hi is this the only xubuntu channel or is there a chatroom etc?
[23:25] <bazhang> !ot
[23:26] <bazhang> whoops quit
[23:32] <m4rk> ok
