Roeyholstein:  nono like last week00:13
Roeyholstein: when I do xmodmap, this is the table I see:  http://pastebin.com/aTpAGEXS00:15
Roeyholstein:  now for instance, Capslock should be mapped to Control, at least that's how it appears in my Keyboard Settings dialog00:16
Roeyholstein:  yet xmodmap shows that Capslock is mapped to 'Lock'00:16

Roeyholstein:  but basically, (1) is this problem specific to my user account or does it transcend other accounts on my computer? (2) is this problem specific to my distribution?  (3) is this problem specific to KDE 4.6b1/b2/rc1?00:25
Roeyholstein:  that's the logic I follow00:25

YankeesFancan i install natty into my /home parittion?02:36
Jordan_UYankeesFan: You'll have to explain better what exactly you're trying to accomplish.02:44
YankeesFaninstall natty into where my /home partition is but not into where the root partition02:44
YankeesFanit would go like / /dev/sda1 /home=/sda202:44
YankeesFanubuntu 10.10 / = / dev/sda1 and /home /dev/sda2  but natty would just be /dev/sda202:45
YankeesFanor instead of just resizing put ubuntu 11.04 into the partition where my /home folder resides02:46
Jordan_UYankeesFan: While it would probably work, I strongly advise against using the same partition as a separate /home for one install and full '/' for another.02:50
YankeesFanyou mean not use a /home paritition?02:54
Jordan_UYankeesFan: Could you please rephrase your question?03:00
YankeesFanu mean i should keep everything in one partition and not use a seperate /home partition?03:00
Jordan_UYankeesFan: I do think that, but that was not what I was trying to say with my earlier comment.03:01
YankeesFanoh i see03:01

rippsdoes compiz 9 have widget layer yet?04:20
h00kripps: hello04:20
rippsh00k: yo04:21
Guest19465Can i upgrade to 11.04 from 10.10 thats installed through windows?04:21
IdleOneGuest19465: I don't believe you can but that is beside the point. 11.04 is still alpha and not stable04:21
Guest19465I Know but i just wanted to mess around with it.04:22
IdleOneget the daily build and run it in a VM04:22
Guest19465Ok thank you.04:23
lolcat^Is there a risk I will loose my cryptodisk?05:12
rippshmm... it appears that compiz-fusion-plugins-extra is updated in the natty repos and it has widgetlayer. I might feel a little uncomfortable with where unity currently is in development, but I can always revert to the Classic Desktop option, right?06:24
rippsI'm gonna put an updated put an updated natty image on my thumbdrive and see how stable everything is.06:25
rwwripps: yes, there's an option to use "classic" Ubuntu instead of Unity in GDM.06:28
rippsI might upgrade to natty soon. I usually upgrade to alpha sooner, but with the compiz/unity transistion, alot of my stuff I use on a daily basis and the setup I'm comfortable with would have been broken.06:31
rwwyeah, it's an interesting ride this cycle, for sure06:31
rippsDoes anybody know if Unity will support theming? I can't stand the traditional color scheme of Ubuntu, I prefer dark/blue color scheme.06:32
rwwWhen I changed my GNOME theme to a light one a few weeks ago, it ended up half light and half dark. I don't know if it's improved since then.06:33
rippsWell from what I understand, theming only affects only the windows, not the actual panel/dock of unity.06:40

OchoZero9what do i have to do to get kubuntu?11:25
OchoZero9My main concern is running kde apps, specifically kile11:26
rwwinstall 'kubuntu-desktop' package, but you can run apps from one DE in another DE, generally...11:26
OchoZero9i actually installed that on my virtual box..11:27
rww(or use http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/ if you're looking for a CD)11:27
OchoZero9that's what im downloading now, the question arises because it has the same file name as the one i downloaded before11:28
rwwyes, daily builds don't include the distribution in the filename11:28
OchoZero9nice11:28
OchoZero9so it will natively install kde then, this new cd i'm downloading11:29
OchoZero9?11:29
rwwyes11:29

BluesKajhowdy folks16:16
mib_ahdy7rwhich channel is 11.04 NATTY16:26
rumpe1mib_ahdy7r, #ubuntu+116:27
DaekdroomWhich is.. this one!16:27
rumpe1surprise! \o/16:28
mib_ahdy7rThank you. Have  freeze on boots been reported for 11.04 ?16:32
charlie-tcamib_ahdy7r: there is bug 694772, affecting alternate and server ISOs16:36
ubottuLaunchpad bug 694772 in eglibc (Ubuntu) "Sudden reboot during server ISO install" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/69477216:36
mib_ahdy7rhave checked and could not find that. Thanks.16:39
mib_ahdy7rAt start up I have a 50/50 chance to hit grub OS listing.16:40
rumpe1mib_ahdy7r, when does it exactly freeze?16:42
Kre10shello. Im using ubuntu 11.4, How can I change the login screen?16:42
rumpe1Kre10s, System->Administration->login screen16:43
Kre10sand what then?16:43
Kre10sthe local tab? that seems to be the method for ubuntu 10.4. 11.4 has no such option...16:44
rumpe1hm16:44
Kre10sA shame really, I know how to change the login screen in 10.4...16:44
rumpe1Kre10s, what do you want to change?16:45
Kre10sIf you can tell me where the files are kept... I can change it manually16:45
rumpe1well..  locate gdm | grep png   gives some grafiks you could modify.. .i guess...16:45
Kre10sI would like to change the theme to the one used by 10.416:45
Kre10swhen I shut down there is also a purple screen... If I could just make it black...16:46
Kre10sbrb16:46
rumpe1well .. one idea would be a system-wide scan for graphics, pick the relevant ones, change em and hope, it works ...  /if/ the purple screen you mean is stored as a graphics-file16:48
anon33_is there a way to remove a package without installing the new, extra packages? ie - i'd like to remove firefox16:49
rumpe1anon33_, which extra packages for example?16:50
anon33_epiphany-browser, yelp, gnome-js-common, etc...16:50
anon33_dunno why16:50
rumpe1hmm... if i try to remove firefox, abrowser and abrowser-branding will be installed16:51
anon33_rumpe1: I'm not on Natty and I've probably botched the default firefox install16:52
rumpe1perhaps they are in fact only reconfigured (to point to another browser?)16:52
IdleOneanon33_: why are you asking in here if you are not running natty?16:53
anon33_IdleOne: I default to natty packages most of the time, which I'll do in this case once I can get Firefox removed properly16:53
IdleOneso you are mixing repos, ugly16:54
anon33_IdleOne: I'm trying not to (most of the time)16:55
nperryanon33_: To be honest, don't mix. You either use natty or stay on maverick.. Asking for trouble mixing, all alot of packages depend of certain versions.16:58
anon33_nperry: got it. now do you know if there's a way to remove a package without having to install new ones?17:06
anon33_purge doesn't seem to do the trick17:06
mib_ahdy7rat start up either go's to login and work fine and or to OS version grub list and freezes. 50/5017:39
mib_ahdy7rany ideas? I have checked bugs in regard to this but none have anything in common.17:43
om26ermib_ahdy7r, i faced this issue on the alpha-1 but after updates applied the issue is fixed, is your system upto-date?17:45
mib_ahdy7rrunning current updates  as we speak17:47
om26erdefinitely something to do with the grub framebuffer in natty (tm)17:49

Kre10sIs there no standard way of changing the ubuntu 11.4 login screen?18:12
BluesKajKre10s, I'm on kde , in system settings /login screen , dunno what the gnome equivalent is.18:23
Kre10sBluesKaj: thats how older versions of ubuntu handled it... but the latest version has been castrated in this regard18:24
BluesKajKre10s, readying for gnome3 ?18:25
Kre10sme?18:25
BluesKajno the desktop18:26
Kre10sI have gnome 2.3218:26
Kre10sI wouldn't know why the function disapeared18:26
Kre10sIf i only knew where the config files are kept... I could change it manually18:27
BluesKajKre10s, when it launches officially , I guess is what I mean18:27
Kre10sanother thing... How can I get the location entry field in nautilus?18:30
Kre10sthere used to be an icon to cghange between the buttons and text.18:30
