| Lapcrow | Can someone help me change default file manager from Thunar to Nautilus? | 01:24 |
|---|---|---|
| well_laid_lawn | isn't there preferred applications in the menu? - not on a xfce box atm to check | 01:33 |
| well_laid_lawn | Lapcrow: look at man update-alternatives too | 01:38 |
| Lapcrow | the preferred applications only allows you to change terminal, mail reader and browser | 01:39 |
| well_laid_lawn | look into update-alternatives then | 01:41 |
| EarthShaker | Hello, Anyone here? | 01:46 |
| well_laid_lawn | nope | 01:46 |
| EarthShaker | -_- | 01:46 |
| EarthShaker | guys i changed my ubuntu 10.10 to xubuntu 10.10 doing sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop... after rebooting, the loading screen is still ubuntu (the purple and orange one)... anyone knows a fix? | 01:50 |
| charlie-tca | which loading screen? The one during the boot, or the one during login? | 01:57 |
| EarthShaker | during the boot | 01:57 |
| charlie-tca | that's normal | 01:57 |
| EarthShaker | i followed this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce | 01:57 |
| charlie-tca | The Ubuntu plymouth screens are normal. | 01:58 |
| EarthShaker | Is there anyway to change it? | 01:58 |
| EarthShaker | I don't like the look :D | 01:58 |
| charlie-tca | I see | 01:59 |
| Lapcrow | I decided to make my own (crappier) places menu | 02:06 |
| Lapcrow | Using a list of launchers. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10323805/hoboplaces.jpg <-- There. It's not pretty but it gets the job done. | 02:07 |

| linuxman410 | the website talks about memory requirments what about processor requirements | 13:21 |
| well_laid_lawn | it depends on what you want to do - flash websites need more power to view | 13:24 |
| well_laid_lawn | something above a 500mhz pent3 should be ok for the basics I would think | 13:25 |
| linuxman410 | thanks | 13:25 |
| well_laid_lawn | np | 13:25 |
| giuseppe_ | y0 | 13:36 |
| giuseppe_ | i just installed xubuntu and the boot splash doesnt show, not even text shows up | 13:37 |
| well_laid_lawn | that'll be something with the graphics card I suppose you have a newish intel card? | 13:38 |
| giuseppe_ | no, its an old computer | 13:38 |
| well_laid_lawn | do you know the card? | 13:39 |
| giuseppe_ | no, how do i find out? | 13:39 |
| well_laid_lawn | if you can get into the system lspci | grep -i vga | 13:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | in a terminal | 13:40 |
| giuseppe_ | VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c360 [Trio 3D/1X], 86c362, 86c368 [Trio 3D/2X] (rev 01) | 13:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | afaik the trios have pretty bad support | 13:41 |
| well_laid_lawn | but I could be wrong | 13:41 |
| giuseppe_ | maybe because the screen has weird stuff sometimes | 13:42 |
| linuxman410 | i have never been able to get a s3 trio to work in linux ever not right any way | 13:42 |
| giuseppe_ | i guess i should be satisfied with this performance :P | 13:43 |
| linuxman410 | i have had good luck with ati nvidia and intel graphics cards | 13:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | you could try removing splash from the end of the kernel line in /etc/default/grub and doing sudo update-grub to see if you could at least get some text showing | 13:46 |
| giuseppe_ | in that file, the word splash is only found in : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" | 13:48 |
| giuseppe_ | do i comment that line? | 13:48 |
| well_laid_lawn | no just remove splash from the end | 13:49 |
| giuseppe_ | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" | 13:49 |
| giuseppe_ | like that? | 13:50 |
| well_laid_lawn | yep that's it | 13:50 |
| giuseppe_ | k thanx | 13:50 |
| well_laid_lawn | now do in terminal sudo update-grub | 13:50 |
| giuseppe_ | a ya i forgot | 13:51 |
| giuseppe_ | /etc/default/grub: 33: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution | 13:52 |
| well_laid_lawn | check line 33 | 13:52 |
| giuseppe_ | 33 there is nothing | 13:53 |
| giuseppe_ | is the end | 13:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | what does line 33 look like?> | 13:53 |
| giuseppe_ | 32 is the last line: #GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1" | 13:54 |
| giuseppe_ | 33 is blank | 13:54 |
| well_laid_lawn | check the line you edited to make sure it ends with as " | 13:54 |
| well_laid_lawn | check the line you edited to make sure it ends with a " | 13:54 |
| giuseppe_ | :P | 13:55 |
| giuseppe_ | ya i used "" | 13:55 |
| giuseppe_ | maybe was expecting another " at the end | 13:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | k maybe paste the whole file | 13:55 |

| dale__ | Hey guys, curious to know if there's a solution to a prpblem I have.. If I play a movie file it freezes after a couple of minutes and the program becomes unresponsive, and when playing .mp3 files I get an error saying Disconnected: Connection Terminated | 16:41 |
| Sysi | have you tried other player? | 16:41 |
| dale__ | Yeah, it freezes as well | 16:42 |
| dale__ | And with mp3 files I get the same error | 16:42 |
| well_laid_lawn | how much memory in the system? | 16:43 |
| dale__ | 512mb, with audacious the program itself just freezes, it doesn't give an error | 16:44 |
| well_laid_lawn | that should be enough - are they local files or mounted from another comp? | 16:44 |
| dale__ | The movie is on the same disk as the OS, but the mp3s are on a mounted hard disk | 16:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | seems like there's a bad connection for the mp3 disk | 16:47 |
| dale__ | hmm, any idea why the movie would act up? | 16:47 |
| well_laid_lawn | something with the vid card driver or vid card temps maybe | 16:48 |
| dale__ | damn :-( | 16:49 |
| dale__ | Alright cheers | 16:49 |

| bittin | computer porn: http://shuffling.se/forum/index.php?topic=497.msg24190#msg24190 | 18:06 |
| ShootEmUp | bittin, lol, but I think that belongs in #xubuntu-offtopic | 18:07 |
| IdleOne | I know for sure it doesn't need to be cross posted in 4 different ubuntu channels | 18:09 |
| charlie-tca | IdleOne: want to ban bittin here, too, and keep it all with one op? | 18:10 |
| IdleOne | charlie-tca: I removed the bans | 18:11 |
| IdleOne | if you want to ban them here, that is up to you | 18:11 |
| charlie-tca | ShootEmUp: it does not belong in any channel | 18:11 |
| ShootEmUp | ohh, okay | 18:11 |
| IdleOne | the link itself is not bad. What caught my eye was the porn part. | 18:11 |
| ShootEmUp | yeah, it's just wallpapers | 18:12 |
| charlie-tca | That was what caught me too. I haven't even looked at the link | 18:12 |
| ShootEmUp | not naked people | 18:12 |
| IdleOne | bittin: Please don't do that again | 18:12 |
| ShootEmUp | It's safe | 18:12 |
| charlie-tca | We do not advertise porn at all | 18:12 |
| bittin | IdleOne: ok | 18:13 |
| IdleOne | if you want to share your desktop that is fine but do it in a -offtopic channel and don't describe it as porn. you set off red lights all over my irc client | 18:14 |
| bittin | ah | 18:19 |
| bittin | will remember that | 18:19 |
| ShootEmUp | bittin, don't worry, everyone get I troble with the mods atleast once | 18:20 |

| jktrigg | Question: Is there a gui configuration interface for Bluetooth? If so, is it installed by default? | 21:25 |
| TheSheep | !bluetooth | jktrigg | 21:40 |
| ubottu | jktrigg: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 21:40 |
| jktrigg | Thanks, ubottu! | 21:43 |
| jktrigg | Actually, Xubuntu installed bluez by default; the problem was it didn't install a GUI configuration panel. Installing gnome-bluetooth did it for me. | 21:45 |
