[00:20] hi [00:20] i'm just switching to xubuntu :D [00:27] hei cracks?!? [02:18] anyone else having issues with FF/flash/youtube in xubuntu 10.04? [02:18] any time I play a 2nd video it takes out FF [12:17] hello? [12:18] hi [12:19] could anyone here point me to a good website for setting up an ati card _without_ having to use xorg? [12:20] I did it in gnome and now I forget how I did it [12:22] 5000-series? [12:22] oh no, 9200 if I remember. I'm on another machine now. [12:23] if it's old it should work as well as possible by default [12:23] when running gnome I used the opensource driver, not the ati driver [12:23] shouldn't need setting up [12:24] don't know. Under the "display" option in settings xubuntu only shows one monitor. xrandr shows two. [12:24] use arandr if you want GUI [12:26] okay. installed whatever arandr version is in the repository. [12:27] will arandr let me assign one monitor to the right and one to the left, as if I were manually entering the values into xorg? [12:33] yes [12:34] excellent. Let me give that a try. I'll do anything to avoid xorg. [12:35] i guess you mean xorg.conf [12:35] you bet. terrible stuff. I'm glad that it's not really necessary anymore. [12:35] wayland is coming [12:36] y'know, I'm not sure if I want to run wayland. [12:36] most of my computers are too old for that [12:37] I can barely run gnome on my 1 ghz/1gb ram machine. this laptop is 64-bit, but I still run 32 bit kernel and xubuntu on it [12:38] i ran 32bit xubuntu for year even after gettin 4GB ram, recently updated to 64 [12:40] this machine is 4gb ram also. I don't play games, so I don't need a big computer. lxde is too buggy for me. [12:40] but even that would be okay. [12:40] i like xfce:s preferences [12:41] that, and lxde doesn't have an easy, one click way to make launchers. Rather one has to use ln or make desktop files. lxde isn't ready for prime time. [12:42] anyway, thanks for the help. [12:42] np [13:36] Hi all [13:37] can someone give me some help I am new to linux [13:40] !hi [13:40] Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! [15:06] greetings [15:07] if anyone has some time I need some help with powerpoint in Xubuntu everything works but the embedded videos are stalled or grey [15:07] if anyone has some time I need some help with powerpoint in Xubuntu everything works but the embedded videos are stalled or grey [16:30] ilove ubuntu!!!! [16:40] it will pass [16:41] skinny: I'd check if you have all the necessary codecs [16:59] hey all [17:00] I just finished a google chrome theme matching the new greybird xubuntu look: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/djhdibfheaidnhfnhhnmdngcmjpicpkn [17:00] spread it if you like :) [17:39] Hello! I'm doing some work on indicator-datetime, and it's preference dialog now covers the same functionality as time-admin. It also has controls for indicator-datetime. So for Ubuntu the Product, I want to not have time-admin, but I'm assuming it would still be useful for xubuntu? Do you guys use indicator-datetime? [17:40] better asked in #xubuntu-devel, where I have copied that too [17:41] mterry: it's not used by default atm, but generally indicator-support is there by default now [17:41] ochosi, ok. I'm trying to decide whether to split time-admin out to a separate package or just get rid of it. Sounds like you guys aren't requiring it by itself [17:42] If the user chooses to remove indicators, will they still have time functions? [17:42] oh wait, you meant indicator-datetime isn't used by default [17:42] yes [17:42] xfce4-panel has a few time-plugins itself [17:42] so we're using that atm [17:42] charlie-tca, the preference dialog is part of the indicator-datetime package right now. depends how you remove indicators [17:42] tbh i haven't tried the datetime-indicator in natty [17:42] ochosi, ok, so you don't even use time-admin right now? [17:43] "you" = "xubuntu" [17:43] mterry: atm you can only remove indicators from the panel by uninstalling them, the plugin isn't very advanced yet [17:43] ochosi, well, indicator-datetime-preferences actually has a checkbox for showing the clock or not [17:43] ok [17:44] mterry: well give me 5min and i'll reboot to my natty testinstall [17:44] brb [17:44] ochosi, heh, well, that preference doesn't work right now... but you'll get the idea. i'm working on that right now [17:46] mterry: the time-admin is installed by default [17:46] it's in our menu too [17:46] ochosi, indicator-datetime is in the menu or the gnome clock is? [17:46] neither, xfce4-clock plugin is ;) [17:47] ochosi, :) OK. So... the indicator-datetime bits of the preference dialog would not be appropriate for xubuntu then [17:47] yep i guess that's the conclusion [17:47] ok the clock seems to work ok [17:47] i mean indicator-datetime [17:48] ochosi, so perhaps I'll just split it out for safety's sake, and a seeding change would be needed to add it back in? unless you guys decide you love indicator-datetime, but since we're post FF, I guess not [17:48] yeah, possibly we can't add it anymore, don't know, that's something we'd have to discuss [17:49] but thanks for the heads-up, we might well look into that for the next cycle [17:49] indicators were introduced quite late this cycle, you know [17:49] ochosi, OK. They were added quite late to xubuntu? [17:49] mterry: yes, the support was kinda broken before [17:50] oh well neat that it's working now. I didn't know they had problems. I'm guilty of not paying close attention to xubuntu [17:50] :) [17:50] despite working with cody-somerville sometimes :) [17:50] sry mterry, g2g now [17:50] k, thanks!

[19:52] it must be a open office thing since the videos play fine in vlc and parole [19:52] suggestions> [19:58] whats the issue? [19:58] too much crap in my buffer to try and pick out the conversation [20:01] i have issue playing video in powerpoint [20:01] they just appear as greyed out or one frame of paused video [20:02] i installed the retricted codec pkg no change unless I need to reboot>?

[20:12] skinny: btw, it's probably openoffice's impress, not powerpoint [20:12] i am asking on #go-oo thanks [20:13] i say pp but i am using 00 but there is also a way i have run it via pptview.exe a standalone [20:15] no video is not drm although I couldnt play netflix dvd for awhile I think I can only still play my own burned dvds but thats another issue netflix dvds are almost history anyway :-) [20:15] what about rebooting after that restricetd codecs install should i try that I have yet to [20:17] skinny: you shouldn't need to do that [20:17] skinny: I doubt it would help [20:19] cool beans [20:19] peace out
