shegmanhow can i adjust mouse sensivity and disable acceleration?01:20
FloatingGoatis there an xubuntu off topic?01:38
q_a_z_stevehey so really fast, I had XP installed, dual booted Xubuntu 10.4 and then reformatted the other partition, now all I get is grub help> with an invalid filesystem. I figured when grub was on the other partition that I wouldn't have this issue at all, especially since the default was XP :(01:38
q_a_z_steveHow do I successfully go back to single booting, anyone have any ideas?01:50
cody-somervilleq_a_z_steve, Do you have a Windows XP CDROM?02:08
FloatingGoathey is there a way to change the xubuntu window borders?02:08
cody-somervilleq_a_z_steve, If you do, you can select the recovery prompt and execute the following:02:09
cody-somervillebootcfg /rebuild02:09
cody-somervillefixboot02:09
cody-somervillefixmbr02:09
cody-somervilleFloatingGoat, Applications > Settings > Xfce4 Settings Manager02:10
FloatingGoatwhen i clicked ambiance the blue window border stayed the same02:10
q_a_z_steveall three, wow that's more than I just got in ##windows02:11
q_a_z_steveI'm looking.02:11
cody-somervilleFloatingGoat, Can you share screenshots of before and after so I can see what exactly you're talking about? Changing the windows manager theme for me changes the border color.02:11
FloatingGoatoh02:11
FloatingGoatwell im not on xubuntu right now i wish though02:11
cody-somervilleq_a_z_steve, If not, you can boot into the Xubuntu live cd and I can tell you how to repair grub so you can boot back into Windows and reinstall the Windows MBR from there.02:12
q_a_z_steveone way or the other looks like I've got issues burning either CD :@02:16
mucushello02:22
mucusi am new to linux, ubuntu, and xfce02:22
q_a_z_stevecody-somerville what "Load Identifier" do I enter, is this something that really matters?02:57
cody-somervilleq_a_z_steve, No. Its a custom description for an operating system.02:58
q_a_z_steveSo if I just enter "XP" it's not going to hurt anything?02:58
cody-somervilleNope02:59
q_a_z_stevemore questions, OS Load Options, this one I would love to mess with. I can throw things like /no-splash here if I really wanted right?02:59
cody-somervilleJust put in /fastdetect02:59
q_a_z_stevesounds gret03:00
q_a_z_steves/gret/great03:00
q_a_z_steveokay, all three of those are done, reboot now?03:01
cody-somervilleYup.03:01
cody-somervilleq_a_z_steve, For what its worth, I'm sorry to hear Xubuntu didn't work out for you. If you ever decide to give it another try, please feel free to visit again if you need any help.03:03
q_a_z_stevewas telling someone else, this system actually has a reset and sleep button, it's that old. The other thing it has on the keyboard is an ad which is in the form of a double-stuck ANY key!03:03
q_a_z_steveXubuntu is fantastic for me, this user on the other hand wouldn't know what to do, and the GSM card didn't connect, so Windows is just easier.03:04
cody-somervilleah, ok.03:04
q_a_z_steveThanks muchly! It's working on something... I saw the splash so I bet I'm good.03:06
q_a_z_stevecody-somerville ok, so now I have the boot load list that I used to deal with back in 02, where I have XP (my custom) and Microsoft Windows XP on a separate line. Sad tale because I'm not actually sure it is going to boot.03:14
cody-somervilleq_a_z_steve, How many total installations did it say it found when you ran bootcfg /rebuild ?03:15
q_a_z_steve103:15
cody-somervilleq_a_z_steve, try either or. Once you're booted you can go Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System03:16
cody-somervilleq_a_z_steve, On the Advanced tab click Startup and Recovery and then click Settings.03:16
q_a_z_stevetin can light blips ever so slightly nah, I don't think this time is working anyway03:16
cody-somervilleq_a_z_steve, Under System Start, click Edit. Make sure your changes and click ok03:16
cody-somervilleq_a_z_steve, Click Start, Run, and then type msconfig to start the System Configuration Utility. Click the Boot.ini tab.03:17
q_a_z_stevetried the other, splash doesn't even stay on long enough to make me think it's intentional. lights going a lot more than last time, but not necessarily the most of all. Bloody thing I've got to go. Where can I get an exorcism performed in a hurry?03:21
q_a_z_steveMore recovery needed?03:22
q_a_z_steveMaybe I'm just in a hurry, the OS could really be taking this long... <450 MHz 320 MB RAM03:23
q_a_z_steveI don't want to go to safe mode, right, because I still won't know if it'll boot, right?03:24
q_a_z_steve*in normal mode that is.03:25
mucuskay, so i'm trying to find the launcher... where might that be?03:25
mucusi'm pretty much still using the basic xubuntu layout03:25
mucusa launcher that looks for installed programs...that's what i'm trying to find03:32
q_a_z_stevecody-somerville it jumps right into safe-mode...03:47
cody-somervilleq_a_z_steve, Probably because the last boot was unsuccessful.03:47
q_a_z_steveI mean when I choose the option.03:48
q_a_z_stevecody-somerville what else should I do to this thing while I've got it? Should I change any more boot flags?03:49
cody-somervilleq_a_z_steve, Have you tried doing a full boot into safe mode and then a full, normal shut down?03:49
q_a_z_stevewill try now.03:50
q_a_z_stevecold boot?03:50
cody-somervilleq_a_z_steve, I don't think your problem is with the MBR anymore since you're back to using the windows bootloader. The folks in #windows will probably be more help now then me.03:53
q_a_z_stevekk, thanks sorry for all the off-topic03:53
cody-somervilleNo problem. Good luck.03:55
mucusis there a way to get workspaces to transition to one another?04:17
