quantumbitI hate printers18:20
quantumbitbaby baby baby, open your mouth, eat that damn sheet of paper :D18:27
charlie-tcaquantumbit: please don't do that18:35
charlie-tcaThis is a family oriented support channel.18:36
quantumbithm.. yea I suppose families dont know about feeding babies18:41
charlie-tcaIf you just want to chat and complain, we have #xubuntu-offtopic available for that.18:42
peteypanhello all. im looking for some help. im using 10.10 and all my text is being displayed as squares20:14
charlie-tcaWhat version of Xfce do you have?20:16
charlie-tcaand what is the last thing you did before it went to squares?20:16
peteypani happened last night and its all abit hazy. i was tryin to install 4.820:17
charlie-tcaI don't think 4.8 is compatible with 10.10. If you use Ctrl+Alt+F2, is the text readable?20:18
peteypan_no ctrl alt f2 is not displayed as squares20:26
charlie-tcaThen I would suggest removing the ppa for 4.8, and going back to Xfce 4.6.220:27
peteypan_could u tell me how20:27
charlie-tcaYou will have to do that in the tty, but the only alternative I know is reinstall20:27
charlie-tcaHow did you add 4.8?20:27

VastOneLooking for a bit of advice... Long time Ubuntu user and not especially thrilled with 11.04 Natty and the whole unity thing...23:57
VastOneXubuntu 11.04 and xfce, how does Unity fit in these plans?23:57
VastOneand more importantly, is this now the right time to jump to Xubuntu?23:58
pleia2Unity is for Gnome, Xubuntu and XFCE are unrelated23:58
VastOneI thought so23:58
VastOneand wanted to be crystal clear23:58
