[00:32] 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] hey [01:14] my buddy just freshly install Xubuntu 10.04, [01:14] did all the updates [01:14] and he sais that the mouse pointer vanished ? [01:42] 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] *worked [02:24] Thermi, yeah [02:24] I think its a graphics card issue [02:25] he has a Dell inspiron 6000 type model (120gb hd) [02:25] ATI radeon card of some type [02:26] argh my bad; im here now [02:26] how would i check which versio i have? [02:26] *of xubuntu [02:27] !version [02:27] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [02:27] oi bazhang :) [02:27] k.... [02:29] ok thx;i have 10.04 but i wanna get 10.10 now :) === emma is now known as em [05:19] 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] gnoob, do you mean auto shutdown when you battery is full ? [05:40] lighta, auto shutdown when the UPS box is low on battery. [05:41] (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] for me I simply right click on battery then choose preference and set auto shutdown for a lvl of battery [05:41] Mokura, are you using Xfce or gnome ? [05:42] xfce [05:42] default w/Xubuntu install. [05:42] lighta, you have a "battery" tab on your power manager preferences? I have "General" "On AC" an "Extended". [05:42] I figured gnome settings things wouldn't exist, but I'm kind of new and I figured I'd try anyway. *shrug* [05:44] yes gnoob but for your issue [05:44] 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] should you go on batterie [05:44] choose critique [05:44] then set shutdown [05:44] then you can set what a critique lvl on advanced menu [05:45] looking where I changed loading screen Mokura [05:45] oh the theme like your destock background ? [05:45] what are we talking about exactly ? [05:45] background or login ? [05:46] preferably both, like changing a theme, but [05:46] login screen BG would be a nice start [05:47] (it's currently the default xubuntu wallpaper, and I already changed my desktop wallpaper.) [05:49] 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] ok ok Mokura [05:53] Ah, sorry [05:53] not a problem I was just remenbering [05:54] I think it's on menu, parameter, starting and session [05:54] did you check that already ? [05:54] in xfce settings manager? [05:54] where I was looking was: [05:55] Settings -> Xfce Settings Manager -> Session and Startup [05:55] However [05:55] same [05:55] that for splash ye [05:55] the tabs are General, Splash, Application Autostart, Session, and Advanced [05:55] splash would be for loading I think [05:55] Splash is the animation that plays after I type in my password and log in. [05:55] now for menu where you put your pass hmm [05:56] ye [05:56] And the BG for that. [05:56] yes with configure you can set your image [05:57] now for your loging menu hmm [05:57] There's no option to set the image on Session and Startup. [05:57] configure ? [05:57] Configure? [05:57] Hm [05:57] on splash [05:58] chose simple [05:58] then configure [05:58] ...oh. [05:58] use a personal image [05:58] yeah, got it ? [05:58] welp don't I feel foolish [05:59] lighta, I think that is my issues I do not have a battery section on power management. [05:59] hm, wait [05:59] ohh ! [06:00] ah yeah that odd gnoob, [06:02] ...that changes the image used for the splash. [06:03] at the rate I'm going it might be easier just to use gnome, but I'd much prefer xfce. <_> [06:06] well I think you can change value in [06:06] menu, parameter, parameter editor [06:06] just need to found the good option [06:09] brb what do I have again [06:18] well bodge. [06:19] I should have just installed Ubuntu at this rate, even though it's irritating how the panels are less configurable [06:19] I had to look up what doge meant. [06:19] bodge [06:20] I have no idea if it means anything [06:20] I just used it as a term of exasperation. [06:20] 1. Informal to make a mess of; botch [06:20] 2. Austral informal to make or adjust in a false or clumsy way I bodged the figures [06:20] ahaha [06:20] I wasn't too far off the mark then [06:21] nope [06:23] oh well, at least reinstallations are super easy in VMs [06:23] thanks for trying [06:24] -hm [06:25] what annoys me is, apparently this login BG thing (GDM?) was possible [06:25] http://softsolder.com/2009/04/02/changing-the-xubuntu-8-10-gdm-login-splash-screen/ [06:25] but /usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu apparently doesn't exist in 10.10 [06:31] Yeah, I am not sure what login manger they use. [06:31] it is gdm afaik [06:35] yes but [06:35] I'm going nuts just trying to change the theme for it in xubuntu 10.10 [06:35] is it even possible to do it in an easy way? [06:35] all I can easily change is the splash image [06:36] which is what appears when you log in [06:38] can you install whatever tool you used in gnome> [06:40] I never started with gnome. [06:40] I started with Xubuntu. [06:40] http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/01/how-to-change-gdmlogin-screen.html [06:41] ahahaha [06:41] I just found a different article about that [06:41] gonna give it a go [06:41] 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] er, well [06:42] all the crap that came WITH gnome-core. hurr. [06:47] aaaaaand success [06:47] thank fuzz [06:47] (and gnoob too) [06:49] it doesn't change the login window theme but really [06:49] all I really wanted was the BG and the logo [06:50] now I'm gonna reinstall Xubuntu since I actually know what I am doing now [06:50] thanks for the help! [06:50] I agree with the background. I will probably change mine. === Spude__ is now known as Spude_ === Wicet2 is now known as Wicet [13:52] hi [13:52] parole player cannot play live video on xubuntu 10.10 [14:03] your help please === emma is now known as em [16:52] who learn compiles c++ in terminal?
