[01:24] <Lapcrow> Can someone help me change default file manager from Thunar to Nautilus?
[01:33] <well_laid_lawn> isn't there preferred applications in the menu? - not on a xfce box atm to check
[01:38] <well_laid_lawn> Lapcrow: look at man update-alternatives too
[01:39] <Lapcrow> the preferred applications only allows you to change terminal, mail reader and browser
[01:41] <well_laid_lawn> look into update-alternatives then
[01:46] <EarthShaker> Hello, Anyone here?
[01:46] <well_laid_lawn> nope
[01:46] <EarthShaker> -_-
[01:50] <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?
[01:57] <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
[01:58] <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
[01:59] <charlie-tca> I see
[02:06] <Lapcrow> I decided to make my own (crappier) places menu
[02:07] <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.
[02:09] <ShootEmUp> hello there!
[02:32] <Tekk_> Is there any way to see what previous operations have been done by aptitude/synaptic/etc?
[07:50] <xubuntu925> Howdy Howdy!
[07:53] <DarkPrinceNH> It's quite quiet in here today...
[08:25] <uBUXUBu> good morning technicians
[13:21] <linuxman410> the website talks about memory requirments what about processor requirements
[13:24] <well_laid_lawn> it depends on what you want to do - flash websites need more power to view
[13:25] <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
[13:36] <giuseppe_> y0
[13:37] <giuseppe_> i just installed xubuntu and the boot splash doesnt show, not even text shows up
[13:38] <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
[13:39] <well_laid_lawn> do you know the card?
[13:39] <giuseppe_> no, how do i find out?
[13:40] <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)
[13:41] <well_laid_lawn> afaik the trios have pretty bad support
[13:41] <well_laid_lawn> but I could be wrong
[13:42] <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
[13:43] <giuseppe_> i guess i should be satisfied with this performance :P
[13:45] <linuxman410> i have had good luck with ati nvidia and intel graphics cards
[13:46] <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
[13:48] <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?
[13:49] <well_laid_lawn> no just remove splash from the end
[13:49] <giuseppe_> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
[13:50] <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
[13:51] <giuseppe_> a ya i forgot
[13:52] <giuseppe_> /etc/default/grub: 33: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution
[13:52] <well_laid_lawn> check line 33
[13:53] <giuseppe_> 33 there is nothing
[13:53] <giuseppe_> is the end
[13:53] <well_laid_lawn> what does line 33 look like?>
[13:54] <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   "
[13:55] <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] <well_laid_lawn> !paste
[13:55] <giuseppe_> no i see my mistake
[13:55] <well_laid_lawn> ok :)
[13:56] <giuseppe_> now it works
[13:56] <well_laid_lawn> excellent
[13:57] <giuseppe_> ya im gonna delete windows now :P
[13:59] <well_laid_lawn> ok :)
[14:59] <giuseppe_> hi
[16:41] <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?
[16:42] <dale__> Yeah, it freezes as well
[16:42] <dale__> And with mp3 files I get the same error
[16:43] <well_laid_lawn> how much memory in the system?
[16:44] <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?
[16:45] <dale__> The movie is on the same disk as the OS, but the mp3s are on a mounted hard disk
[16:47] <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?
[16:48] <well_laid_lawn> something with the vid card driver or vid card temps maybe
[16:49] <dale__> damn :-(
[16:49] <dale__> Alright cheers
[17:40] <ShootEmUp> hello everyone
[18:06] <bittin> computer porn: http://shuffling.se/forum/index.php?topic=497.msg24190#msg24190
[18:07] <ShootEmUp> bittin, lol, but I think that belongs in #xubuntu-offtopic
[18:09] <IdleOne> I know for sure it doesn't need to be cross posted in 4 different ubuntu channels
[18:10] <charlie-tca> IdleOne: want to ban bittin here, too, and keep it all with one op?
[18:11] <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.
[18:12] <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
[18:13] <bittin> IdleOne: ok
[18:14] <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
[18:19] <bittin> ah
[18:19] <bittin> will remember that
[18:20] <ShootEmUp> bittin, don't worry, everyone get I troble with the mods atleast once
[18:29] <ginet> hi, i have this problem vmware-server-console messes up my keyboard after using a guest
[18:29] <ginet> and i use xubuntu
[18:30] <ginet> tried some fixes on the web that didnt work
[19:02] <beardygnome> charlie-tca: are we still on for the xubuntu meeting?
[19:02] <charlie-tca> I think we will cancel, sorry
[19:02] <beardygnome> how come?
[19:02] <ShootEmUp> why?
[19:03] <charlie-tca> got no participants
[19:03] <charlie-tca> Note the response I got in #ubuntu-meeting?
[20:05] <nicofs> I've got two sound cards... where to i tell my pc to which the audio signal shall go?
[21:25] <jktrigg> Question: Is there a gui configuration interface for Bluetooth?  If so, is it installed by default?
[21:40] <TheSheep> !bluetooth | jktrigg
[21:43] <jktrigg> Thanks, ubottu!
[21:45] <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.
[21:54] <TheSheep> !bot
[22:24] <ShootEmUp> hello everyone
