KinkyPinkiedoes anyone know how I can enable transparency? it only turns out white when I display the images-.-10:25
duanedesignKinkyPinkie: hello11:02
KinkyPinkieduanedesign: hey11:25
KinkyPinkieif it's regarding my question, I converted types, but I got some errormsgs regarding plugins, so I'm not sure it's solved as I did back in lucid11:26
duanedesignKinkyPinkie: are you doing this in Gimp?11:50
KinkyPinkiei used gimp to create the transparent layers yes11:51
duanedesignKinkyPinkie: ok. And what are you using the images for?11:53
KinkyPinkiethis time they were going up in the panel as icons for applications11:54
KinkyPinkieif that was what you meant11:54
duanedesignok11:59
duanedesignKinkyPinkie: it might be t he format you save it in. Only certain formats save the transparency info12:22
duanedesignKinkyPinkie: png will save the transparency12:28
duanedesignTo check if the image has an alpha channel, go to the channel dialog and verify that an entry for “Alpha” exists, besides Red, Green and Blue12:28

Guest57327I'm trying to boot off a live CD but when ubuntu starts the screen is blank. I know the screen is working because the BIOS screen still shows up while it's booting, and I think ubuntu is booting because when I press the power button to turn it off the CD ejects and the computer waits for me to press Enter18:37
bioterrorGuest57327, what kind of computer you have18:55
Guest57327Compaq Presario SR1917CL18:57
ddecatorhave you tried a second Live CD just in case the first didn't burn right for some reason?18:58
Guest57327no, but I did try a USB stick first with the same problem18:59
ddecatorand the image you used passed the md5sum?19:01
Guest57327I didn't check...19:01
Guest57327oh, but my iMac boots off it ok19:02
ddecatorstrange. unfortunately i'm just heading out, so hopefully someone else will have an idea of how to resolve the problem for you19:04
LukasBHello everybody! Can anybody please give me advice which source code editor is good to use in ubuntu? I used Notepad++ in Windows but I am not very experienced...20:36
jledbetterDarn, he left too quickly.21:27

Guest57327Ok, after a lot of trouble I can get it to start booting off the CD, but now it kernel panicked23:18
seidoshmmm, i wonder why23:21
seidosGuest57327: LTS?23:22
Guest57327acronym?23:23
seidosGuest57327: 10.04 "Long Term Support"23:23
Guest57327oh, no: 10.1023:24
seidoswell, for my curiosity could you paste the output of lspci and sudo lshw?23:25
seidosbut, to fix your problem, i'd try the LTS, it has a different kernel23:25
seidoswhat do you think Guest57327?23:26
Guest57327I'll try the 10.4 if this attempt at safeboot doesn't work. Where would this output be btw?23:28
seidosGuest57327: in a terminal.  you just type "lspci" paste that to paste.ubuntu.com and "sudo lshw" and paste that to paste.ubuntu.com23:30
seidosi assume there is a kernel panic because of some hardware configuration23:30
seidosor maybe you should do a memtest Guest5732723:30
seidosi dunno, i am speculating23:31
pedro3005Guest57327, is it a laptop or a pc?23:49
