[04:33] <MTecknology> What does Xubuntu use for printer management?
[04:33] <MTecknology> I see there's system-config-printer-gnome which comes with a whole lotta dependencies I'd rather not have
[04:38] <wellthen> hello world. please help me with themes
[04:38] <wellthen> i have no clue how to use my theme i installed.
[04:38] <wellthen> downloaded i mean
[04:39] <wellthen> how do i use my theme downloaded from internet.
[04:40] <wellthen> i've extracted it to desktop. now i just have a folder on my desktop now
[04:44] <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
[04:46] <charlie-tca> MTecknology, xfprint-settings for settings/configuration
[04:48] <charlie-tca> MTecknology, xfprint4-manager for Show the printer list and allow you to manage their jobs after setup
[04:48] <MTecknology> thanks :)
[04:48] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[04:49] <charlie-tca> and good night
[04:49] <MTecknology> g'night
[04:50] <MTecknology> yup- spiffy
[04:57] <MTecknology> hm.. how do you add a printer?
[05:18] <djohns> hey xubuntu
[05:18] <djohns> anyone live?
[05:41] <ubuXubu> good morning Lords of the Code...
[09:17] <prosper_> does anyone know how to make the volume control on a laptop to work?
[09:18] <TheSheep> prosper_: sure, select the right keyboard type
[09:19] <TheSheep> prosper_: one that has media keys
[09:22] <prosper_> doesn't seem to work
[09:28] <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
[09:36] <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
[09:39] <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
[09:41] <prosper_> is the key name PCM? or do i need to find out what it is
[09:42] <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
[09:43] <TheSheep> I geuss it makes more sense
[09:45] <prosper_> awesome it works ty
[09:48] <TheSheep> it's a hack though
[09:48] <prosper_> works fine so i'm good
[09:48] <prosper_> except for mute
[09:49] <prosper_> is there a way to toggle?
[09:51] <TheSheep> yes
[09:51] <TheSheep> amixer sset Master toggle
[09:52] <prosper_> oh jeez its that easy
[09:52] <prosper_> lol
[09:52] <prosper_> thank you

[19:08] <vandyk> Hello
[19:08] <digitalcriminal> hello
[19:09] <vandyk> I need a little bit of support in Xububtu, im a brand new Xubuntu user hehe
[19:10] <charlie-tca> vandyk, just ask your question, all on one line if possible. There are many volunteers in the channel, and if someone knows they will answer.
[19:10] <charlie-tca> Sometimes it takes a few minutes, though
[19:10] <vandyk> Ok many thanks
[19:13] <vandyk> My trouble is whit the screen, When i close a window, i close the app, but the screen keep showing the "window shadow" its really hard to explain because im not a native english speaker, but i take a screenshot, maybe that helps to know what exactly us my problem, Screenshot: http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/5089/capturadepantallaj.png
[19:18] <mark76> Looks like an X rendering problem
[19:21] <vandyk> I try using recovery mode, i really dont remember what option i choose, in recovery the windows can work normal, since i reboot again i have the same problem
[19:23] <mark76> It could be that something is hogging all yout processor power
[19:23] <mark76> your
[19:23] <mark76> Slowing the system down
[19:24] <vandyk> if it helps, i make my fresh xubuntu instalation yesterday, i download and apply the updates, since i reboot i have the problem
[19:25] <mark76> Hmm
[19:25] <mark76> How much RAM do you have?
[19:25] <vandyk> i only have 256
[19:25] <mark76> Ah
[19:26] <mark76> Do me a favour and run top in the terminal
[19:26] <mark76> Assuming top is installed
[19:27] <vandyk> i think is not installed, only sudo aptget top?
[19:27] <mark76> sudo apt-get install top
[19:28] <vandyk> show me this message
[19:28] <vandyk> E: Dont find the package top
[19:29] <moetunes> top should be part of the default installation iirc
[19:29] <mark76> Yeah
[19:29] <vandyk> ammm
[19:30] <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] <charlie-tca> wrong package name: apt-cache policy top - W: Unable to locate package top
[19:30] <mark76> iirc is an acronym
[19:31] <vandyk> i also put top in termninal and show me something like task manager uin windows
[19:31] <mark76> That's the one
[19:31] <mark76> What does the Mem line say?
[19:32] <vandyk> Mem:    250696k total,   211216k used,    39480k free,      828k buffers
[19:33] <mark76> Swap?
[19:33] <vandyk> Swap:  1952760k total,    19624k used,  1933136k free,    63280k cached
[19:34] <mark76> And CPU

[19:34] <mark76> Well that looks perfectly normal
[19:35] <mark76> What were you running when you had the problem?
[19:35] <vandyk> since i start the SO i have the problem
[19:36] <mark76> The what, now? :/
[19:37] <vandyk> for example when i start the so, you look a black screen whit a mouse that say Xubuntu, i always have this screen, never show the wallpaper
[19:37] <vandyk> the problem start since i start the so
[19:37] <mark76> What's an SO?
[19:38] <moetunes> good question :)
[19:38] <moetunes> sounds like the vid card isn't set up right
[19:38] <vandyk> Operative Sistem, sorry in spanish is Sistema Operativo i confused the order of the leters
[19:38] <mark76> Ah! Got you now
[19:39] <mark76> The vid card, moetunes ?
[19:39] <moetunes> first guess or xfdesktop isn't running
[19:40] <mark76> IS xfdesktop running vandyk ?
[19:40] <moetunes> no wallpaper is showing
[19:40] <vandyk> ohh how can i know that?
[19:40] <moetunes> ps -C xfdesktop    in a terminal
[19:41] <mark76> Type xfdesktop in the terminal
[19:41] <mark76> If it's running it'll say
[19:41] <mark76> Yeah. What he said
[19:41] <vandyk>  PID TTY          TIME CMD
[19:42] <mark76> :/
[19:42] <moetunes> looks like it isn't then
[19:42] <vandyk> now i put
[19:42] <vandyk> xfdesktop in terminal
[19:42] <moetunes> do   xfdesktop &   in a terminal
[19:42] <vandyk> and wall paper shows
[19:42] <mark76> Yep
[19:42] <vandyk> and i dont have the "shadows"
[19:42] <mark76> Close the terminal
[19:43] <vandyk> terminal closed
[19:43] <mark76> Do you still have wallpaper?
[19:43] <vandyk> the wallpaper disapear for a second, but i see it again
[19:43] <mark76> Any shadows?
[19:43] <vandyk> no
[19:44] <mark76> Do you want shadows?
[19:44] <vandyk> no
[19:45] <mark76> If you do you can change the settings in window manager tweaks
[19:46] <vandyk> ok, but for example do i need to put xfdesktop in terminal in everytime that i start Xubuntu?
[19:46] <mark76> Log out and come back in again
[19:46] <vandyk> ok
[19:46] <vandyk> i will restart
[19:46] <mark76> No just log out
[19:46] <mark76> No need to restart
[19:46] <vandyk> ok
[19:46] <mark76> Log out of the Desktop, I mean
[19:48] <mark76> It's taking him a while
[19:48]  * mark76 whistles
[19:48] <moetunes> I bet he rebooted
[19:48]  * mark76 drums fingers on table
[19:48] <mark76> Probably
[19:48] <mark76> Aha!
[19:49] <mark76> Do you have wallpaper?
[19:49] <vandyk> yes
[19:49] <mark76> Excellent :D
[19:49] <vandyk> i have the wallpaper =P

[19:49] <mark76> Why have you got a Dutch name?
[19:49] <vandyk> oh well
[19:49] <mark76> Are you a fan of the painter?
[19:49] <vandyk> i like Paul Vandyk,
[19:49] <vandyk> Is a D.J.
[19:49] <mark76> Aha!
[19:49] <mark76> Cool
[19:49] <mark76> Ah
[19:50] <mark76> Oh well

[19:50] <mark76> Grr
[19:50] <vandyk> hehe
[19:50] <vandyk> If i have this error again, i only put xfdesktop again right?
[19:51] <mark76> It shouldn't happen again
[19:51] <mark76> But if it does yes
[19:51] <mark76> Did you know Xfwm4 has compositing?
[19:52] <vandyk> no
[19:52] <mark76> It's true
[19:52] <vandyk> im a very newbie in linux
[19:52] <mark76> Click on the menu button then mouse over Settings and click on Xfce4 Settings
[19:53] <vandyk> ok
[19:53] <vandyk> i see a menu
[19:53] <mark76> Do you see the Settings option?
[19:54] <mark76> I don't know what that is in Spanish
[19:54] <vandyk> yes i see the options, screen, mouse, panel, keyboard etc..
[19:55] <mark76> Is there an Xfce4-Settings-Manager option?
[19:56] <vandyk> mmm
[19:56] <vandyk> i dont see any option whit the word Xfce4
[19:56] <mark76> Hang on
[19:57] <mark76> Xfce 4 Settings Manager
[19:57] <mark76> Should be right at the top
[19:59] <mark76> Do you see it?
[19:59] <vandyk> i dont see
[19:59] <mark76> Sounds like it's not installed then
[20:01] <moetunes> isn't it called window manager tweaks or similar
[20:01] <mark76> Anyway. In the Settings submenu is there an option called Window Manager Tweaks?
[20:01] <mark76> It sure is
[20:01] <vandyk> i have window manager
[20:02] <mark76> And Window Manager Tweaks?
[20:02] <vandyk> yes in window manager i have option to tweek the windows
[20:03] <mark76> Cool

[20:12] <vandyk> Hi again
[20:12] <mark76> Hello
[20:12] <mark76> So do you have a compositing tab?
[20:13] <vandyk> yes i have
[20:14] <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
[20:15] <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?
[20:16] <Sysi> !xfce
[20:16] <vandyk> that means its possible to follow the guides for ubuntu in Xubuntu?
[20:16] <Sysi> mostly, at least with little adjusting
[20:17] <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
[20:21] <babarosa> Hello everybody,
[20:21] <babarosa> this only is a test - do you receive my messages?
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <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?
[20:24] <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
[20:25] <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
[20:31] <aladoinsano> yes i stand corrected, i however never use gksudo with mousepad..saves me two keystrokes ;)
[20:32] <moetunes> well if you break things you get to keep all the peices :)
[20:33] <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
[22:40] <Thermi> gn8
[23:09] <belal1> if I have to submit a bug regarding update-manager, do I submit it to ubuntu or xubuntu?  (i'm using xubuntu 10.10)
[23:10] <charlie-tca> belal1, sumbit it using ubuntu-bug update-manager
[23:10] <belal1> thanks
[23:14] <Moon_Rising2> when i make a new user it never saves my changes
[23:23] <belal1> gotta love launchpad :D
[23:32] <Moon_Rising2> this channel is just as helpful as #ubuntu
[23:32] <Moon_Rising2> >.>
[23:33] <ridin> lol...
[23:33] <charlie-tca> Maybe it is the way you ask for help? There hasn't really been a question asked...
[23:33] <ridin> why don't try the old adduser command
[23:33] <Moon_Rising2> ridin, i did
[23:33] <ridin> sudo adduser?
[23:33] <ridin> o>O
[23:33] <Moon_Rising2> yea
[23:33] <ridin> o.o...
[23:34] <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."
[23:35] <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?
[23:36] <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?
[23:37] <ridin> nope
[23:37]  * charlie-tca wonders why Moon_Rising2 can't really get help?
[23:37]  * Moon_Rising2 rapes charlie-tca with a terrifying Asian Guy Named SenorPoopyPants
[23:37]  * ridin just gave some help
[23:37] <Moon_Rising2> sorry
[23:37] <Moon_Rising2> lol
[23:38] <charlie-tca> Moon_Rising2, that is not okay
[23:38] <Moon_Rising2> its gone
[23:38] <Moon_Rising2> cant remeber wich version
[23:38] <charlie-tca> open a terminal and type    lsb_release -a
[23:38] <charlie-tca> hit enter
[23:38] <charlie-tca> it will tell you
[23:39] <Moon_Rising2> 9.10
[23:40] <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
[23:41] <ridin> oh, oops, wrong person
[23:41] <ridin> -_-
[23:42] <Moon_Rising2> useradd -m -g [initial_group] -G [additional_groups] -s [login_shell] [username]
[23:43] <Moon_Rising2> for login shell /bin/bash
[23:43] <Moon_Rising2> ?
[23:44] <ridin> yeah, and the stuff will show you stuff under that
[23:44] <Moon_Rising2> useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later.
[23:45] <ridin> sudo
[23:46] <charlie-tca> It is easier to do to this through Users and Groups than through the terminal
[23:48] <Moon_Rising2> charlie-tca, users and groups would never say the changes
[23:48] <Moon_Rising2> save
[23:48] <Moon_Rising2> and ty ridin charlie-tca, i have my new user now
