[03:53] <halaszvarig> hi all
[03:54] <halaszvarig> I just created a bluebird like chrome theme (only the frame color was changed to match the color from the theme): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hedddjdackneeciinimepakidindpgdd
[04:05] <nsgn> hello. why on earth wont glslideshow read a jpg from a folder i point it to?
[04:06] <nsgn> the only jpgs i can get it to read on the whole system are the ones in the default background folder
[05:11] <lnxg33k> guys i have just installed xbuntu natty
[05:11] <lnxg33k> how to switch between keyboard layout ?
[05:23] <bazhang> lnxg33k, #ubuntu+1 for natty support
[05:23] <bazhang> ugh
[05:44] <Jason1> Hey there. Can someone give me some advice about a network connectivity issue?
[11:43] <Sysi> somebody using 10.04 with alex2000 xfce 4.8 ppa?
[11:43] <Sysi> actual question: does it work?
[12:08] <lithpr> Sysi, i'm using the koshi ppa for 4.8, and it's great
[12:08] <lithpr> (for 10.10)
[12:09] <Sysi> different ppa and different xubuntu
[12:09] <Sysi> i know from natty that 4.8 is nice
[12:10] <Sysi> i might as well *could* try since i moved mainly to kde
[12:11] <lithpr> i've tried Natty Alpha 2 for kde and Gnome, but both were very unstable on my box
[12:12] <lithpr> so i decided to side step it for xfce
[12:14] <Sysi> kde shouldn't be very bad, but xfce works maybe even better
[12:15] <Sysi> unity is stil in development afaik
[12:17] <lithpr> right, i had tons of crashing on kde 4.6 w/ natty, did better with ppa on maverick
[12:17] <lithpr> still too unstable though
[12:18] <lithpr> the biggest problem on kde 4.6 MM is that it all crashes on logout, other than that, it's good
[13:14] <jigynet> how do i configure / confirm proper installation of intel gma?
[13:15] <jigynet> is the gma fully utilized in ubuntu's?
[13:20] <Sysi> intel drivers should be there by default
[13:37] <jigynet> well it seemed to improve a little when i install the drivers..
[13:38] <jigynet> a settings ap isnt obvious, dont know any commands to configure things lik antianiliseing
[13:41] <jigynet> the i965 va drivers??
[13:43] <jigynet> plus there are many other settings that need adjusting memory footprint, shared memory settings..
[14:01] <andy_> Good day all. I'm trying to solve a problem I created: I'm running ubuntu 10.10 on a netbook (Asus eee 900A; 16GB SSD, 1.6 ghz atom). I switched to XFCE, then tried to eliminate the extra apps left over from gnome by deleting them via synaptic package manager. Not too bright: now I get a command line on startup and cannot start xubuntu desktop or get updates. Any suggestions?
[14:04] <lithpr> andy_ certainly the simplest and most robust way to recover from a situation like that is to reinstall
[14:04] <Sysi> plug it to wired internet and (re)install xubuntu-desktop
[14:05] <Sysi> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[14:05] <andy_> lithpr and Sysi: thanks. Can't install either; neither sudo apt-get update nor sudo apt-get install xubuntu desktop work.
[14:06] <Sysi> what does it say?
[14:06] <andy_> I get a long list of unmet dependencies and "failed to fetch" messages.
[14:06] <andy_> I've tried to fix the sources list, to no avail.
[14:06] <Sysi> sounds like reinstall..
[14:07] <andy_> Can't boot from a flash drive either. You suggesting reinstall the OS?
[14:07] <Sysi> yes
[14:07] <andy_> Sysi - thanks. That's about what I figured. Now I need to figure out how to do that when I can't boot the thing from a USB drive. Any suggestions there?
[14:08] <lithpr> how did you get it on there in the first place?
[14:08] <brousch> boot from external USB CD-ROM
[14:08] <Sysi> you've created usb stick with unetbootin or usb-creator and press esc on boot?
[14:08] <andy_> lithpr: I used the flash drive. I've somehow borked its ability to do even that.
[14:09] <andy_> Sysi: yes
[14:09] <lithpr> that should be a bios issue- you couldn't have killed it from the OS
[14:09] <Sysi> what does it do?
[14:09] <andy_> Sysi: just boots into the command line despite the presence of the USB drive.
[14:10] <Sysi> do you get the boot device selection menu?
[14:11] <lithpr> andy_, have you gone into the bios and made sure that booting from usb has the highest priority?
[14:11] <andy_> Sysi: just tried again and this time it worked. I didn't get the boot device menu before but now I do. Weird stuff. Thanks again. I'll reinstall. thanks all!
[14:12] <Sysi> np
[14:37] <jigynet> aw
[14:37] <jigynet> why not sudo dpkg-configure?
[14:37] <jigynet> he may also have other usb's plugged in at boot?
[14:38] <Sysi> could have been worth a try, but reinstall takes half an hour and after that he has pure xfce system
[14:38] <Sysi> he also got usb-boot to work
[14:38] <jigynet> dpkg reconfig also needs to be run from the usb os xD
[14:38] <jigynet> xD
[14:38] <Sysi> why?
[14:39] <jigynet> otherwise it would only rebuild the root os
[14:39] <jigynet> xD
[14:39] <jigynet> not other installs
[14:39] <jigynet> lol
[14:39] <jigynet> lol is there a command for that hehe
[14:40] <jigynet> but i always use that if things get quirky or unfixable and i got terminal still.. much less time then download/reinstall
[14:41] <jigynet> and you keep everything xD
[14:41] <jigynet> maybe 30 min depending on connection and traffic
[14:41] <jigynet> selected packages xD
[14:42] <jigynet> just wish i could find a fan control for a samsung netbook..
[15:37] <Jason1> I configured opendns this morning and now my connection keeps dropping after 10 or 20 minutes of use. Any ideas on how to diagnose the issue?
[16:58] <jigynet> how do i share my wifi locally?..like coffe shop / home users
[16:59] <jigynet> plus my bro needs help secureing his pc =/
[16:59] <charlie-tca> you want to allow any user to use your wifi?
[17:00] <jigynet> if they are given a password..and a key preferably
[17:00] <charlie-tca> then you should just give them the password and key they can connect with
[17:00] <jigynet> i'd use bluetooth but his pc is older..
[17:01] <jigynet> that connects a pc directly  to the router..not my pc in a way he can use the internet via one of 2 ap's
[17:01] <jigynet> ad-hoc right?
[17:03] <jigynet> haveing random people use the router directly would be kinda bad =/
[17:03] <jigynet> brb
[18:19] <xubuntu012> hello.  I'm installing xubuntu.  However I've reached a snag.  it says "Downloading pakckages (5015:47 remaining)".  I do not have that long to wait.
[18:19] <charlie-tca> lose a connection?
[18:19] <xubuntu012> no
[18:19] <xubuntu012> same conection I'm using to talk to you.
[18:20] <xubuntu012> There is a hyper-link that directed me to this irc.
[18:20] <xubuntu012> on the installer
[18:20] <charlie-tca> Maybe the connection dropped and came back
[18:21] <charlie-tca> It should be a constantly updating time
[18:21] <xubuntu012> It jumped down to 15 mintues, but only for a few secounds
[18:21] <xubuntu012> Most of the time it's still.
[18:21] <xubuntu012> Is there a way to switch mirrors?
[18:26] <charlie-tca> not during trhe install
[18:26] <xubuntu012> alright
[18:26] <xubuntu012> thanks for your time
[18:48] <lithpr> backed up system... installing compiz... hope it all works out
[18:59] <jigynet> how do i share internet hime wifi?

[20:14] <surreal7z> hi guys.. when I plug in my external HDD this is what happens... It's called "The Cube" and I have a folder \media which has "The Cube" folder, but owner is root... and when I want to access it... I don't have permissions and the "The Cube_" is created which is good...
[20:25] <surreal7z> I didn't do anything.. it was working till now... except I had to access it first from thunar before using it in rhytmbox and other applications'
[20:25] <surreal7z> The Cube_ has good permissions of a user
[20:25] <surreal7z> any way to fix that?
[20:25] <surreal7z> thx
[20:25] <Sysi> what filesystem
[20:26] <surreal7z> okey... i have fixed it... but still when I log in I need to access thunar first before I use it in other applications
[20:39] <surreal7z> ntfs
[20:39] <surreal7z> Sysi
[21:00] <hellhack> boas
[22:10] <dvanstone> text browsers recommendation anyone
