[01:20] <shegman> how can i adjust mouse sensivity and disable acceleration?
[01:38] <FloatingGoat> is there an xubuntu off topic?
[01:38] <q_a_z_steve> hey 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 :(
[01:50] <q_a_z_steve> How do I successfully go back to single booting, anyone have any ideas?
[02:08] <cody-somerville> q_a_z_steve, Do you have a Windows XP CDROM?
[02:08] <FloatingGoat> hey is there a way to change the xubuntu window borders?
[02:09] <cody-somerville> q_a_z_steve, If you do, you can select the recovery prompt and execute the following:
[02:09] <cody-somerville> bootcfg /rebuild
[02:09] <cody-somerville> fixboot
[02:09] <cody-somerville> fixmbr
[02:10] <cody-somerville> FloatingGoat, Applications > Settings > Xfce4 Settings Manager
[02:10] <FloatingGoat> when i clicked ambiance the blue window border stayed the same
[02:11] <q_a_z_steve> all three, wow that's more than I just got in ##windows
[02:11] <q_a_z_steve> I'm looking.
[02:11] <cody-somerville> FloatingGoat, 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] <FloatingGoat> oh
[02:11] <FloatingGoat> well im not on xubuntu right now i wish though
[02:12] <cody-somerville> q_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.
[02:16] <q_a_z_steve> one way or the other looks like I've got issues burning either CD :@
[02:22] <mucus> hello
[02:22] <mucus> i am new to linux, ubuntu, and xfce
[02:57] <q_a_z_steve> cody-somerville what "Load Identifier" do I enter, is this something that really matters?
[02:58] <cody-somerville> q_a_z_steve, No. Its a custom description for an operating system.
[02:58] <q_a_z_steve> So if I just enter "XP" it's not going to hurt anything?
[02:59] <cody-somerville> Nope
[02:59] <q_a_z_steve> more 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-somerville> Just put in /fastdetect
[03:00] <q_a_z_steve> sounds gret
[03:00] <q_a_z_steve> s/gret/great
[03:01] <q_a_z_steve> okay, all three of those are done, reboot now?
[03:01] <cody-somerville> Yup.
[03:03] <cody-somerville> q_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_steve> was 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!
[03:04] <q_a_z_steve> Xubuntu 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-somerville> ah, ok.
[03:06] <q_a_z_steve> Thanks muchly! It's working on something... I saw the splash so I bet I'm good.
[03:14] <q_a_z_steve> cody-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.
[03:15] <cody-somerville> q_a_z_steve, How many total installations did it say it found when you ran bootcfg /rebuild ?
[03:15] <q_a_z_steve> 1
[03:16] <cody-somerville> q_a_z_steve, try either or. Once you're booted you can go Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System
[03:16] <cody-somerville> q_a_z_steve, On the Advanced tab click Startup and Recovery and then click Settings.
[03:16] <q_a_z_steve> tin can light blips ever so slightly nah, I don't think this time is working anyway
[03:16] <cody-somerville> q_a_z_steve, Under System Start, click Edit. Make sure your changes and click ok
[03:17] <cody-somerville> q_a_z_steve, Click Start, Run, and then type msconfig to start the System Configuration Utility. Click the Boot.ini tab.
[03:21] <q_a_z_steve> tried 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?
[03:22] <q_a_z_steve> More recovery needed?
[03:23] <q_a_z_steve> Maybe I'm just in a hurry, the OS could really be taking this long... <450 MHz 320 MB RAM
[03:24] <q_a_z_steve> I don't want to go to safe mode, right, because I still won't know if it'll boot, right?
[03:25] <q_a_z_steve> *in normal mode that is.
[03:25] <mucus> kay, so i'm trying to find the launcher... where might that be?
[03:25] <mucus> i'm pretty much still using the basic xubuntu layout
[03:32] <mucus> a launcher that looks for installed programs...that's what i'm trying to find
[03:47] <q_a_z_steve> cody-somerville it jumps right into safe-mode...
[03:47] <cody-somerville> q_a_z_steve, Probably because the last boot was unsuccessful.
[03:48] <q_a_z_steve> I mean when I choose the option.
[03:49] <q_a_z_steve> cody-somerville what else should I do to this thing while I've got it? Should I change any more boot flags?
[03:49] <cody-somerville> q_a_z_steve, Have you tried doing a full boot into safe mode and then a full, normal shut down?
[03:50] <q_a_z_steve> will try now.
[03:50] <q_a_z_steve> cold boot?
[03:53] <cody-somerville> q_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_steve> kk, thanks sorry for all the off-topic
[03:55] <cody-somerville> No problem. Good luck.
[04:17] <mucus> is there a way to get workspaces to transition to one another?
[04:18] <mucus> like transition effects on an android . . .
