[10:09] <gudmund> how to install the mint menu in xubuntu?
[10:18] <gudmund> never mind. i found it at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-mint-style-gnome-menu-in-ubuntu.html and then put it in an gnome-panel plugin for xfce
[13:31] <surreal7z> My widows xp has chrashed badly... can't even boot into Safe Mode anymore... so, I was thinking to use it through linux... how to do that?, maybe virtualbox?... is it possible to use dvd and internet... install programs and such things?
[13:33] <Sysi> if it doesn't work it does not work, if you have enough good hardware you can try running it on virtualbox
[13:34] <Sysi> internet should work, dvd propably also, usb not in the open vbox
[13:36] <surreal7z> okey, thx
[13:37] <surreal7z> what does it mean... enough good hardware?, am I able to install drivers?
[14:40] <rtdos> i have a blank grub prompt when i boot my pc: how do i either repair grub from this prompt (minimal bash-like shell) or reinstall grub from the cd?
[14:41] <charlie-tca> !grub
[17:25] <g0bl1n> is Xubuntu 10.10 using GStreamer ?
[17:26] <g0bl1n> How can one install more video plugins ?
[17:26] <charlie-tca> Use synaptic package manager
[17:26] <g0bl1n> I add GStreamer bad and ugly, but still no luck
[17:26] <charlie-tca> there are a lot more yet, if you go and look in synaptic
[17:27] <brousch> g0bl1n: i like medibuntu for that: http://medibuntu.org/
[17:27] <brousch> and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[17:28] <g0bl1n> in Ubuntu I add GStreamer plugins and all goes fine. In Xubuntu seems not to produce effect.
[17:29] <Sysi> !restricted
[17:29] <g0bl1n> thanks
[17:29] <Sysi> !info xubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:29] <g0bl1n> thanks Sysi
[17:30] <Sysi> something to try
[17:34] <baka_> hellow
[17:34] <baka_> some speak spanish?
[17:34] <baka_> alguien habla español?
[17:35] <charlie-tca> This is an english language channel, however, the spanish Ubuntu channel can help you
[17:35] <baka_> io have a problem whit the panel of xfce
[17:35] <charlie-tca> !sp
[17:35] <charlie-tca> !spanish
[17:35] <charlie-tca> What is the panel problem?
[17:36] <baka_> i used xfce 4.8
[17:36] <nicofs> How do I activate autocompletion with tab in terminal?
[17:36] <baka_> i wana move the element of the panel
[17:36] <charlie-tca> right click the panel, left click panel, click properties, items, highlight them and click the up/down arrow to move them
[17:36] <baka_> but only can move at side of another element,
[17:37] <charlie-tca> That's normal
[17:38] <baka_> in gnome i cant move the element of the panel in any side
[17:38] <charlie-tca> I do not know how to do it in gnome
[17:39] <baka_> i thing i don't have the words necesari to expres me in english
[17:40] <baka_> thank for the atention, i change to ubuntu-es :)
[17:40] <charlie-tca> Sorry, but maybe the #ubuntu-es can help you
[17:43] <baka_> in ubuntu-es  nobody help, all are so quiet u.u
[17:43] <charlie-tca> sometimes it just takes a few minutes
[17:45] <baka_> exist a room to xubuntu in spanish? o a room of xfce user ?
[17:45] <charlie-tca> no, there is no xubuntu spanish room
[17:45] <Sysi> xubuntu users should be on same LoCo channel
[17:45] <knome> the loco (local community) rooms are working with all the flavors
[17:46] <charlie-tca> baka_ already said there was no response in #ubuntu-es, so would try xubuntu-es if it existed
[17:47] <Sysi> nicofs: it should work by default, if you want to reset your bashrc: cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/.bashrc
[17:50] <nicofs> Sysi, mhm. i had a look at bashrc... first thing i did... the section was not commented out...
[18:21] <Arpad2> hello
[18:22] <Arpad2> after formatting USB drive is doesnt mount. message: Failed to mount "2G Removable Volume". The enclosing drive for the volume is locked.
[18:23] <Arpad2> could smb help me with this, please
[18:24] <Sysi> that happens when you plug it out and back in?
[18:24] <Arpad2> yes
[18:26] <Arpad2> I followed the instructions from here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FsW5W046-I
[21:32] <drc> I've googled around and found (seemingly) contradictory answers to the question:  "How do I edit the menus in xfce"...can some one point me towards a definitive URL?
[21:33] <Sysi> from the config files or edit .desktop entries
[21:33] <Sysi> i try get the url..
[21:34] <charlie-tca> 1. [for 4.6] copy '/etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu to '~/.config/xdg/menus' and customize it.
[21:34] <charlie-tca> 2. [for 4.6] You can also create desktop entries in '~/.local/share/applications' to override the existing applications (change or hide) or add new ones.
[21:34] <charlie-tca> 3. http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu
[21:34] <drc> I guess I should say I've upgraded to 4.8.0 (in 10.10), if that makes a difference?
[21:35] <charlie-tca> yes it makes a difference
[21:35] <drc> :)
[21:35] <charlie-tca> use alacarte
[21:36] <drc> I found that, but was wondering if it was "kosher".  I'll grab it and try it out thanks.
[21:37] <charlie-tca> any freedesktop.org compatible editor will work for Xfce 4.8
[21:40] <drc> I take it the "Main Menu" undr the Appplications>Settings menu is the entry for alacarte (don't remember it from before)?
[21:40] <charlie-tca> no idea, I haven't used it
[21:44] <drc> thanks
[22:08] <drc> Well, that was interesting...installed alacarte (in xfce 4.8.0, 10.10)...unclicked some things in the menu(s) that I didn't care about, and lo and behold they showed up in "Other" (which wasn't there before). Checked in Main Menu to unclick Other and it won't let me unclick Other (shows it NOT clicked/showing). Any ideas where I can go from here
[22:11] <surreal7z> right now... i am running windows xp on vbox..... it crashed xD  .... buawhauwha
[22:13] <charlie-tca> yup
[22:13] <charlie-tca> have to wait for natty maybe.
[22:14] <surreal7z> no... vbox didn't crash... only windows.... but not anymore... just.... some windows stuff problem...
[22:14] <surreal7z> i had... a problem... couldn't even boot into Safe Mode... so this time, I have put it in vbox... not dual boot... and... its simply great :p
[22:16] <surreal7z> maybe I over reacted... but, it feels simply great that they can't mess up things anymore... so badly
[22:16] <charlie-tca> The advantage of VirtualBox, you can just delete the machine and rebuild it quickly
[22:58] <xubuntu716> takes too long to install
[22:59] <xubuntu716> is this room gay?
[22:59] <charlie-tca> Did you need something, xubuntu716?
[22:59] <xubuntu716> no
[23:18] <ke_> Hey guys
[23:19] <ke_> Ok, so I finally got xubuntu installed on my laptop... There shouldn't be any reasons for strange messages
[23:26] <ke_> Hmm
[23:27] <ke_> I'm getting different error messages right before the booting image with the xubuntu logo comes up
[23:27] <ke_> It seems my laptop is getting pretty warm for some reason
