[00:32] <gnoob> Hello, will the XFCE power manager show setting for a UPS box?  I have a cyberpower UPS that I am trying to get working.
[01:14] <Anom01y> hey
[01:14] <Anom01y> my buddy just freshly install Xubuntu 10.04,
[01:14] <Anom01y> did all the updates
[01:14] <Anom01y> and he sais that the mouse pointer vanished ?
[01:42] <Thermi> Anom01y: he should take a look at the Updates he made and, if possible, do a complete role back of his system to when it workes
[01:42] <Thermi> *worked
[02:24] <Anom01y> Thermi, yeah
[02:24] <Anom01y> I think its a graphics card issue
[02:25] <Anom01y> he has a Dell inspiron 6000 type model (120gb hd)
[02:25] <Anom01y> ATI radeon card of some type
[02:26] <old-laptop> argh my bad; im here now
[02:26] <old-laptop> how would i check which versio i have?
[02:26] <old-laptop> *of xubuntu
[02:27] <bazhang> !version
[02:27] <knome> oi bazhang :)
[02:27] <old-laptop> k....
[02:29] <old-laptop> ok thx;i have 10.04 but i wanna get 10.10 now :)
[05:19] <gnoob> XFCE power manger icon says that my UPS box is fully charged.  So it knows it exists.  Are there settings for controlling the automatic shutdown but I am not seeing them?
[05:38] <lighta> gnoob, do you mean auto shutdown when you battery is full ?
[05:40] <gnoob> lighta, auto shutdown when the UPS box is low on battery.
[05:41] <Mokura> (10.10) I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to change the login screen theme.  Nothing in Session and Startup settings, and apparently gnome-appearance-properties doesn't exist.  Although that could be due to user confusion, I've tried googling the problem with little luck.
[05:41] <lighta> for me I simply right click on battery then choose preference and set auto shutdown for a lvl of battery
[05:41] <lighta> Mokura, are you using Xfce or gnome ?
[05:42] <Mokura> xfce
[05:42] <Mokura> default w/Xubuntu install.
[05:42] <gnoob> lighta, you have a "battery" tab on your power manager preferences?  I have "General" "On AC" an "Extended".
[05:42] <Mokura> I figured gnome settings things wouldn't exist, but I'm kind of new and I figured I'd try anyway. *shrug*
[05:44] <lighta> yes gnoob but for your issue
[05:44] <Mokura> I find it odd that the default setup app gives me the ability to change the splash animation, but not the theme or login background.
[05:44] <lighta> should you go on batterie
[05:44] <lighta> choose critique
[05:44] <lighta> then set shutdown
[05:44] <lighta> then you can set what a critique lvl on advanced menu
[05:45] <lighta> looking where I changed loading screen Mokura
[05:45] <lighta> oh the theme like your destock background ?
[05:45] <lighta> what are we talking about exactly ?
[05:45] <lighta> background or login ?
[05:46] <Mokura> preferably both, like changing a theme, but
[05:46] <Mokura> login screen BG would be a nice start
[05:47] <Mokura> (it's currently the default xubuntu wallpaper, and I already changed my desktop wallpaper.)
[05:49] <Mokura> I'm talking about changing the theme for the login, where it asks for user/password/etc.  I can change desktop stuff (after I've logged in) just fine.
[05:53] <lighta> ok ok Mokura
[05:53] <Mokura> Ah, sorry
[05:53] <lighta> not a problem I was just remenbering
[05:54] <lighta> I think it's on menu, parameter, starting and session
[05:54] <lighta> did you check that already ?
[05:54] <Mokura> in xfce settings manager?
[05:54] <Mokura> where I was looking was:
[05:55] <Mokura> Settings -> Xfce Settings Manager -> Session and Startup
[05:55] <Mokura> However
[05:55] <lighta> same
[05:55] <lighta> that for splash ye
[05:55] <Mokura> the tabs are General, Splash, Application Autostart, Session, and Advanced
[05:55] <lighta> splash would be for loading I think
[05:55] <Mokura> Splash is the animation that plays after I type in my password and log in.
[05:55] <lighta> now for menu where you put your pass hmm
[05:56] <lighta> ye
[05:56] <Mokura> And the BG for that.
[05:56] <lighta> yes with configure you can set your image
[05:57] <lighta> now for your loging menu hmm
[05:57] <Mokura> There's no option to set the image on Session and Startup.
[05:57] <lighta> configure ?
[05:57] <Mokura> Configure?
[05:57] <Mokura> Hm
[05:57] <lighta> on splash
[05:58] <lighta> chose simple
[05:58] <lighta> then configure
[05:58] <Mokura> ...oh.
[05:58] <lighta> use a personal image
[05:58] <lighta> yeah, got it ?
[05:58] <Mokura> welp don't I feel foolish
[05:59] <gnoob> lighta, I think that is my issues I do not have a battery section on power management.
[05:59] <Mokura> hm, wait
[05:59] <lighta> ohh !
[06:00] <lighta> ah yeah that odd gnoob,
[06:02] <Mokura> ...that changes the image used for the splash.
[06:03] <Mokura> at the rate I'm going it might be easier just to use gnome, but I'd much prefer xfce. <_>
[06:06] <lighta> well I think you can change value in
[06:06] <lighta> menu, parameter, parameter editor
[06:06] <lighta> just need to found the good option
[06:09] <lighta> brb what do I have again
[06:18] <Mokura> well bodge.
[06:19] <Mokura> I should have just installed Ubuntu at this rate, even though it's irritating how the panels are less configurable
[06:19] <gnoob> I had to look up what doge meant.
[06:19] <gnoob> bodge
[06:20] <Mokura> I have no idea if it means anything
[06:20] <Mokura> I just used it as a term of exasperation.
[06:20] <gnoob> 1. Informal to make a mess of; botch
[06:20] <gnoob> 2. Austral informal to make or adjust in a false or clumsy way I bodged the figures
[06:20] <Mokura> ahaha
[06:20] <Mokura> I wasn't too far off the mark then
[06:21] <gnoob> nope
[06:23] <Mokura> oh well, at least reinstallations are super easy in VMs
[06:23] <Mokura> thanks for trying
[06:24] <Mokura> -hm
[06:25] <Mokura> what annoys me is, apparently this login BG thing (GDM?) was possible
[06:25] <Mokura> http://softsolder.com/2009/04/02/changing-the-xubuntu-8-10-gdm-login-splash-screen/
[06:25] <Mokura> but /usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu apparently doesn't exist in 10.10
[06:31] <gnoob> Yeah, I am not sure what login manger they use.
[06:31] <moetunes> it is gdm afaik
[06:35] <Mokura> yes but
[06:35] <Mokura> I'm going nuts just trying to change the theme for it in xubuntu 10.10
[06:35] <Mokura> is it even possible to do it in an easy way?
[06:35] <Mokura> all I can easily change is the splash image
[06:36] <Mokura> which is what appears when you log in
[06:38] <gnoob> can you install whatever tool you used in gnome>
[06:40] <Mokura> I never started with gnome.
[06:40] <Mokura> I started with Xubuntu.
[06:40] <gnoob> http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/01/how-to-change-gdmlogin-screen.html
[06:41] <Mokura> ahahaha
[06:41] <Mokura> I just found a different article about that
[06:41] <Mokura> gonna give it a go
[06:41] <gnoob> if that works let me know. I would change mine.
[06:41]  * Mokura installed gnome-core earlier, didn't work, too much of a pain to try to hunt down all the dependencies since apparently synaptic won't
[06:42] <Mokura> er, well
[06:42] <Mokura> all the crap that came WITH gnome-core.  hurr.
[06:47] <Mokura> aaaaaand success
[06:47] <Mokura> thank fuzz
[06:47] <Mokura> (and gnoob too)
[06:49] <Mokura> it doesn't change the login window theme but really
[06:49] <Mokura> all I really wanted was the BG and the logo
[06:50] <Mokura> now I'm gonna reinstall Xubuntu since I actually know what I am doing now
[06:50] <Mokura> thanks for the help!
[06:50] <gnoob> I agree with the background.  I will probably change mine.
