[03:57] <Guest13342> hey. i am kind of new to xubuntu, like today, I was wondering how to change the panel color in 10.10 from grey to black
[03:58] <gr8m8> it's your gtk theme that does that
[03:59] <gr8m8> you can copy one from /usr/share/themes to ~/.themes and edit it
[04:01] <Guest13342> thanks man

[05:55]  * UBuxuBU continues his search for the Fountain of Code which he suspects will someday be found, deep in the digital rainforest of...Xubuntu!
[08:58] <nicofs> does anyone know how i can hide all those XYZ has quit/entered the room notifications in Xchat?
[08:59] <TheSheep> maybe ask on #xchat

[09:00] <gr8m8> s/loin/join/
[09:01] <nicofs> gr8m8, thanks... i didn't think of looking at the tab... i searched in settings at the top... ;-)

[10:04] <nirazio> How to lock workstation in Xubuntu (XFCE, XFWM)?
[10:12] <TheSheep> nirazio: alt+ctrl+del
[10:35] <nirazio> I want to use Google Earth so, I installed it. Installation is ok no error.But I double click the program, nothing happen. please help me.
[10:37] <gr8m8> nirazio: try starting it from a terminal to catch any errors
[10:37] <gr8m8> the executable should be in /usr/bin
[10:42] <leoquant> what is the outcome of : glxinfo | grep direct?
[10:42] <leoquant> (install sudo apt-get install mesa-utils first)
[10:43] <nirazio> What's that??
[10:43] <leoquant> direct rendering is needed to run googleearth
[10:44] <nirazio> Alright and i have one more doubt,
[10:44] <nirazio> I generally prefer XFCE desktop environment of Xubuntu, but I found its files right-click context menu too humble (no option to compress/decompress files for example, and I'd like some my very special actions there too).How can I customize it?
[10:46] <gusnan> nirazio, http://thunar.xfce.org/plugins.html#thunar-archive-plugin
[11:13] <nirazio> How to delete all files that are returned by locate??
[11:15] <mark76> Select all and press Del?
[11:18] <nirazio> mark76: I want to delete it from terminal
[11:19] <mark76> Oh
[11:40] <nirazio> How to download a specific filetype from a website using wget??For example png format...
[11:52] <TheSheep> nirazio: wget url-to-the-file-you-want-to-download
[11:53] <TheSheep> nirazio: the type is irrelevant
[12:31] <stephanmg> hi mates.
[13:14] <MorphixNW> has anyone found a solution to the linux-header upgrade issue yet?
[13:14] <MorphixNW> would be nice to fix it, rather then installing over again
[13:15] <MorphixNW> I have spent ages making things work so :(
[13:17] <TheSheep> MorphixNW: what issue?
[13:18] <MorphixNW> my machine wont boot up after installing new linux-header upfates, its crashed out my graphics card and my networking
[13:18] <MorphixNW> shows the "low graphics mode" warning, but wont let me reconfig
[13:19] <TheSheep> have you tried to boot in the recovery mode?
[13:19] <MorphixNW> yes
[13:19] <TheSheep> and?
[13:19] <MorphixNW> to no avail, also tried selecting an older kernel
[13:20] <TheSheep> recovery mode is in text mode
[13:20] <TheSheep> what fails exactly?
[13:20] <MorphixNW> ok, in that case i do get a terminal promot
[13:20] <MorphixNW> in text mode
[13:20] <MorphixNW> i am there now
[13:21] <TheSheep> ok, then just install your drivers and you are done
[13:21] <MorphixNW> how can I do that with no internet access?
[13:21] <TheSheep> !apt-zip
[13:21] <TheSheep> !info apt-zip
[13:22] <MorphixNW> hmmm
[13:22] <MorphixNW> ok and if the machine wont see my usb hard drive?
[13:23] <MorphixNW> lsusb shows the device, but its not mounted
[13:23] <TheSheep> then mount it
[13:23] <MorphixNW> how?
[13:23] <TheSheep> !mount
[13:24] <MorphixNW> ty
[13:25] <MorphixNW> how do i find the name of the hard drive? i.e /dev/hdb1?
[13:28] <gr8m8> sudo fdisk -l   will tell
[13:28] <MorphixNW> ty
[13:29] <MorphixNW> I can see sda1, sda2 and sda5, however, sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt fails
[13:30] <MorphixNW> same on sda5
[13:30] <TheSheep> sda is your hard disk drive probably
[13:30] <TheSheep> you probably wand sdb or later
[13:30] <MorphixNW> sda1 is I think
[13:30] <TheSheep> sda1 is the first partition of disk sda
[13:30] <MorphixNW> I dont see anything for sdb
[13:30] <MorphixNW> hmm ok i see now
[13:30] <TheSheep> you can also see what dmesg says when you are plugging the disk
[13:31] <MorphixNW> so the machine cant see my usb drive
[13:31] <MorphixNW> new full speed usb device using uhci_hcd and address 3
[13:33] <TheSheep> MorphixNW: lshw may show it
[13:36] <MorphixNW> /dev/sdb
[13:36] <MorphixNW> when i now do "mount /dev/sdb /mnt" it says i must specify a filesystem type
[13:38] <MorphixNW> this is just insane, all this hassle from an official update
[13:40] <gr8m8> most usb's are vfat so try mount -t vfat
[13:44] <MorphixNW> cant read superblock error
[13:45] <MorphixNW> its ntfs
[13:46] <gr8m8> sounds like the usb is borked then
[13:46] <ablomen> MorphixNW, /dev/sdb is the whole disk, you need the partition, something like /dev/sdb1 or sdb2
[13:48] <MorphixNW> hows about if I can download the files required to fix it and stick them on a cd?
[20:00] <nasser> hi!
[20:01] <nasser> how can i install flash plugin via terminal?

[23:27] <MorphixNW> I must say, I am not best impressed with having to re-install my whole OS, following kernel update, but glad to be back online
[23:27] <mark76> Hey MorphixNW
[23:27] <MorphixNW> mark76: hey
[23:28] <MorphixNW> watch out for the latest kernel update people
[23:28] <MorphixNW> it really made a mess of my previously working system
[23:28] <charlie-tca> did you do those updates with update-manager or command-line?
[23:28] <MorphixNW> command line "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[23:30] <MorphixNW> only my 10.10 system had problems, my 10.04 was/is fine :)
[23:40] <saintly> Im trying to get Compiz fusion on my 10.10, can anyone help? i have the icon and the settings manager, but none of the effects.
[23:41] <B-r00t> saintly: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/12/09/xubuntu-compiz-pretty-pretty-xubuntu/
[23:42] <saintly> ty
[23:44] <B-r00t> np
[23:44] <B-r00t> MorphixNW: try to use update-manager for updating
[23:55] <MorphixNW> does anyone know if its possible to cluster more than one machine? i.e harness the resources from each machine and combined that together to make one super computer as such?
[23:59] <saintly> workin on installin Compiz, doing a system check to see why it wasnt running, and i got this: The vesa driver is not capable of running Compiz, you need to install
[23:59] <saintly>  the proper driver for your graphics card.
