[01:24] Can someone help me change default file manager from Thunar to Nautilus? [01:33] isn't there preferred applications in the menu? - not on a xfce box atm to check [01:38] Lapcrow: look at man update-alternatives too [01:39] the preferred applications only allows you to change terminal, mail reader and browser [01:41] look into update-alternatives then [01:46] Hello, Anyone here? [01:46] nope [01:46] -_- [01:50] 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] which loading screen? The one during the boot, or the one during login? [01:57] during the boot [01:57] that's normal [01:57] i followed this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce [01:58] The Ubuntu plymouth screens are normal. [01:58] Is there anyway to change it? [01:58] I don't like the look :D [01:59] I see [02:06] I decided to make my own (crappier) places menu [02:07] 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] hello there! [02:32] Is there any way to see what previous operations have been done by aptitude/synaptic/etc? [07:50] Howdy Howdy! === xubuntu925 is now known as DarkPrinceNH [07:53] It's quite quiet in here today... [08:25] good morning technicians [13:21] the website talks about memory requirments what about processor requirements [13:24] it depends on what you want to do - flash websites need more power to view [13:25] something above a 500mhz pent3 should be ok for the basics I would think [13:25] thanks [13:25] np [13:36] y0 [13:37] i just installed xubuntu and the boot splash doesnt show, not even text shows up [13:38] that'll be something with the graphics card I suppose you have a newish intel card? [13:38] no, its an old computer [13:39] do you know the card? [13:39] no, how do i find out? [13:40] if you can get into the system lspci | grep -i vga [13:40] in a terminal [13:40] VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c360 [Trio 3D/1X], 86c362, 86c368 [Trio 3D/2X] (rev 01) [13:41] afaik the trios have pretty bad support [13:41] but I could be wrong [13:42] maybe because the screen has weird stuff sometimes [13:42] i have never been able to get a s3 trio to work in linux ever not right any way [13:43] i guess i should be satisfied with this performance :P [13:45] i have had good luck with ati nvidia and intel graphics cards [13:46] 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] in that file, the word splash is only found in : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [13:48] do i comment that line? [13:49] no just remove splash from the end [13:49] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" [13:50] like that? [13:50] yep that's it [13:50] k thanx [13:50] now do in terminal sudo update-grub [13:51] a ya i forgot [13:52] /etc/default/grub: 33: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution [13:52] check line 33 [13:53] 33 there is nothing [13:53] is the end [13:53] what does line 33 look like?> [13:54] 32 is the last line: #GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1" [13:54] 33 is blank [13:54] check the line you edited to make sure it ends with as " [13:54] check the line you edited to make sure it ends with a " [13:55] :P [13:55] ya i used "" [13:55] maybe was expecting another " at the end [13:55] k maybe paste the whole file [13:55] !paste [13:55] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

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] have you tried other player? [16:42] Yeah, it freezes as well [16:42] And with mp3 files I get the same error [16:43] how much memory in the system? [16:44] 512mb, with audacious the program itself just freezes, it doesn't give an error [16:44] that should be enough - are they local files or mounted from another comp? [16:45] The movie is on the same disk as the OS, but the mp3s are on a mounted hard disk [16:47] seems like there's a bad connection for the mp3 disk [16:47] hmm, any idea why the movie would act up? [16:48] something with the vid card driver or vid card temps maybe [16:49] damn :-( [16:49] Alright cheers [17:40] hello everyone [18:06] computer porn: http://shuffling.se/forum/index.php?topic=497.msg24190#msg24190 [18:07] bittin, lol, but I think that belongs in #xubuntu-offtopic [18:09] I know for sure it doesn't need to be cross posted in 4 different ubuntu channels [18:10] IdleOne: want to ban bittin here, too, and keep it all with one op? [18:11] charlie-tca: I removed the bans [18:11] if you want to ban them here, that is up to you [18:11] ShootEmUp: it does not belong in any channel [18:11] ohh, okay [18:11] the link itself is not bad. What caught my eye was the porn part. [18:12] yeah, it's just wallpapers [18:12] That was what caught me too. I haven't even looked at the link [18:12] not naked people [18:12] bittin: Please don't do that again [18:12] It's safe [18:12] We do not advertise porn at all [18:13] IdleOne: ok [18:14] 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] ah [18:19] will remember that [18:20] bittin, don't worry, everyone get I troble with the mods atleast once [18:29] hi, i have this problem vmware-server-console messes up my keyboard after using a guest [18:29] and i use xubuntu [18:30] tried some fixes on the web that didnt work [19:02] charlie-tca: are we still on for the xubuntu meeting?

[20:05] I've got two sound cards... where to i tell my pc to which the audio signal shall go? [21:25] Question: Is there a gui configuration interface for Bluetooth? If so, is it installed by default? [21:40] !bluetooth | jktrigg [21:40] jktrigg: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [21:43] Thanks, ubottu! [21:45] 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] !bot [21:54] Hi!
