| wellthen | how do i use my theme downloaded from internet. | 04:39 |
| wellthen | i've extracted it to desktop. now i just have a folder on my desktop now | 04:40 |
| bazhang | wellthen, generally you dont extract them, but just drag the tar.gz to the theme manager | 04:44 |
| bazhang | wellthen, some are not well done, though so you may need to put the pieces in manually | 04:44 |

| prosper_ | does anyone know how to make the volume control on a laptop to work? | 09:17 |
| TheSheep | prosper_: sure, select the right keyboard type | 09:18 |
| TheSheep | prosper_: one that has media keys | 09:19 |
| prosper_ | doesn't seem to work | 09:22 |
| moetunes | if you have the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst you can see if the laptop is mentioned then add the label for it in xorg.conf.d | 09:28 |
| TheSheep | ah, I remember that sound controls didn't work in the latest version | 09:36 |
| prosper_ | my laptop is not listed | 09:36 |
| TheSheep | you can fix it by binding amixer to those keys | 09:36 |
| prosper_ | is amixer another mixer from the default?? | 09:39 |
| TheSheep | it's a commandline tool | 09:39 |
| TheSheep | amixer set PCM 2dB+ <-- increase volume by 2dB | 09:39 |
| prosper_ | ah | 09:39 |
| prosper_ | is the key name PCM? or do i need to find out what it is | 09:41 |
| TheSheep | no, that's the command you need to bind to your volume keys in the keyboard config | 09:42 |
| TheSheep | you can use Master instead of PCM | 09:42 |
| TheSheep | I geuss it makes more sense | 09:43 |
| prosper_ | awesome it works ty | 09:45 |
| TheSheep | it's a hack though | 09:48 |
| prosper_ | works fine so i'm good | 09:48 |
| prosper_ | except for mute | 09:48 |
| prosper_ | is there a way to toggle? | 09:49 |
| TheSheep | yes | 09:51 |
| TheSheep | amixer sset Master toggle | 09:51 |
| prosper_ | oh jeez its that easy | 09:52 |
| prosper_ | lol | 09:52 |
| prosper_ | thank you | 09:52 |

| vandyk | ammm | 19:29 |
| moetunes | in a terminal type top and hit the enter button | 19:30 |
| vandyk | that means i need to install iirc first? | 19:30 |
| mark76 | No | 19:30 |

| mark76 | IS xfdesktop running vandyk ? | 19:40 |
| moetunes | no wallpaper is showing | 19:40 |
| vandyk | ohh how can i know that? | 19:40 |

| mark76 | K | 20:07 |
| vandyk | Hi again | 20:12 |
| mark76 | Hello | 20:12 |
| mark76 | So do you have a compositing tab? | 20:12 |
| vandyk | yes i have | 20:13 |
| mark76 | K. That's where you need to click if you want transparency and window effects | 20:14 |
| mark76 | Just so you know | 20:14 |
| vandyk | i see | 20:14 |
| vandyk | i think my pc have very low resources | 20:14 |
| vandyk | i think is better to use default config | 20:14 |
| mark76 | Fair enough | 20:15 |
| vandyk | to have a better perfonce | 20:15 |
| mark76 | Aye | 20:15 |
| vandyk | performance | 20:15 |
| vandyk | ** | 20:15 |
| vandyk | a cuestion, ubuntu and xubuntu is the same? | 20:15 |
| Sysi | !xfce | 20:16 |
| 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 | 20:16 |
| vandyk | that means its possible to follow the guides for ubuntu in Xubuntu? | 20:16 |
| Sysi | mostly, at least with little adjusting | 20:16 |
| vandyk | because i need to use ICS | 20:17 |
| vandyk | and this guide explains all about | 20:17 |
| vandyk | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 20:17 |
| vandyk | i dont know if i need to follow that guide or search a guide for Xubuntu | 20:17 |
| babarosa | Hello everybody, | 20:21 |
| babarosa | this only is a test - do you receive my messages? | 20:21 |
| vandyk | yes | 20:22 |
| babarosa | Okay, many thanks and greetings | 20:22 |
| aladoinsano | vandyk, yes you can follow that one, some menus might have slightely different names though | 20:22 |
| vandyk | yes i see for example to edit config files i need to use for example | 20:23 |
| vandyk | sudo mousepad /etc/whatever.conf right? | 20:23 |
| aladoinsano | just right click on your network icon in the notification area and choose edit connections, etc. etc. as described in the beginning of that link you posted | 20:24 |
| moetunes | it should be gksudo mousepad /path/to/conf | 20:24 |
| aladoinsano | vandyk, yes | 20:24 |
| moetunes | !gksudo | 20:24 |
| aladoinsano | sudo is fine | 20:24 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 20:24 |
| moetunes | aladoinsano: ^^ | 20:25 |
| vandyk | ok thanks! | 20:25 |
| aladoinsano | he just wanted to editi a file from the terminal | 20:25 |
| vandyk | i think this days i need to learn a lot | 20:25 |
| moetunes | he wanted to use mousepad not edit from a terminal | 20:25 |
| aladoinsano | yes i stand corrected, i however never use gksudo with mousepad..saves me two keystrokes ;) | 20:31 |
| moetunes | well if you break things you get to keep all the peices :) | 20:32 |
| aladoinsano | it hasnt broken anything in the last 5 years so im a living proof its working just fine, but yes you are right in principal of course | 20:33 |

| Moon_Rising2 | ridin, i did | 23:33 |

| Moon_Rising2 | and useradd isnt working either | 23:34 |
| ridin | same problem? | 23:34 |
| Moon_Rising2 | i get this "if you want to add this user to that group, use -g." | 23:34 |
| Moon_Rising2 | which gives me a help file | 23:35 |
| ridin | wait, let me see the archlinux wiki for a second | 23:35 |
| charlie-tca | What release version are you using? | 23:35 |
| ridin | charlie-tca: see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide | 23:36 |
| ridin | Step 4 | 23:36 |
| charlie-tca | why? that isn't going to tell the release of Xubuntu is use, is it? | 23:36 |
| ridin | nope | 23:37 |
| * charlie-tca wonders why Moon_Rising2 can't really get help? | 23:37 | |

| charlie-tca | hit enter | 23:38 |
| charlie-tca | it will tell you | 23:38 |
| Moon_Rising2 | 9.10 | 23:39 |
| charlie-tca | ridin gave a reference above, did you look at it/ | 23:40 |
| charlie-tca | He addressed it to me, but I think he meant it for you | 23:40 |
| ridin | oh, oops, wrong person | 23:41 |
| ridin | -_- | 23:41 |
| Moon_Rising2 | useradd -m -g [initial_group] -G [additional_groups] -s [login_shell] [username] | 23:42 |
| Moon_Rising2 | for login shell /bin/bash | 23:43 |
| Moon_Rising2 | ? | 23:43 |
| ridin | yeah, and the stuff will show you stuff under that | 23:44 |
