| xiaoshen | hi all still the same problem no sound :( | 02:05 |

| Kramba | How do I get the bell to work in xfce-terminal? I already did: http://n0nb.us/blog/2011/01/enable-the-pc-speaker-beep-in-xfce-terminal/ - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-terminal/+bug/60912 - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1454981 | 04:27 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 60912 in xfce4-terminal (Ubuntu) "No "beep" in irssi" [Undecided,Invalid] | 04:27 |
| slook | I went onto the Xubuntu website and noticed it's no in the Latest news for the latest alpha 3 download. Is there a reason for that or did I miss something? Alpha 3 was released March 2 or 3rd. | 07:32 |
| differentSmoke | hello, I have a very silly support question, more general linux, I think, that xubuntu specific | 13:44 |
| ochosi | !ask | 13:46 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 13:46 |
| differentSmoke | I'm using FireFTP(an FTP client built into Firefox), and I want to set up scite as the app that opens text files from FireFTP. On windows, there's a promt that asks me to set the app and I go to programFiles/Scite/scite.exe. Thing is, I don't know how to do the equivalent in linux | 13:46 |
| differentSmoke | (I know, sorry, it just took me long to write it, and I always think is polite to frame the question... I might be wrong though) | 13:46 |
| ochosi | differentSmoke: do you want this setting fireftp-specific or generally? | 13:47 |
| ochosi | hehe, np | 13:47 |
| ochosi | wasn't sure you were still typing | 13:47 |
| differentSmoke | ochosi: thing is, I don't know where to find the executable 'ala ProgramFiles' | 13:47 |
| ochosi | usually in /usr/bin | 13:48 |
| ochosi | but also in /bin or /usr/local/bin | 13:48 |
| ochosi | if you don't want to search for them you can also check the package properties in synaptic and look through the "installed files"-tab | 13:49 |
| differentSmoke | that's it. Thanks | 13:49 |
| ochosi | np | 13:50 |
| differentSmoke | uhm, I have another issue now but I guess it's scite specific | 13:51 |
| differentSmoke | it opens files in different tabs | 13:52 |
| differentSmoke | btw, is there a shortcut to open a terminal window? I see linux pro's do this all the time but I have never figured out how | 13:54 |
| ochosi | well, if you just want to set a general shortcut, go to menu > settings > settings manager > keyboard settings | 13:55 |
| ochosi | and then the "application shortcuts"-tab | 13:55 |
| ochosi | there you can add a shortcut for the term of your choice | 13:55 |
| ochosi | e.g. "xfce4-terminal" | 13:55 |
| differentSmoke | thanks. | 14:14 |
| differentSmoke | last n00b question for a while: do you recomend KOffice as an office suite? | 14:14 |
| knome | not with xubuntu | 14:14 |
| differentSmoke | why not? | 14:14 |
| knome | have you tried abiword an gnumeric, which are installed by deafult? | 14:14 |
| differentSmoke | does abiword open docx files? | 14:15 |
| knome | koffice prbably uses Qt, which means you need to load additional libraries | 14:15 |
| knome | tbh, i don't know. i use libreoffice myself since i need some of the advanced features | 14:15 |
| knome | ochosi, ? | 14:15 |
| differentSmoke | but will those slow down xubuntu a lot? | 14:15 |
| differentSmoke | I just figure that koffice should be faster than openOffice | 14:15 |
| Sysi | koffice can't open docx | 14:16 |
| differentSmoke | (libreOffice is a fork of openOffice, right?) | 14:16 |
| knome | yes and no. if you don't use any other Qt apps, you need to load the Qt apps when you open Koffice | 14:16 |
| differentSmoke | Sysi: google fail then | 14:16 |
| knome | differentSmoke, libreoffice is the new name for openoffice | 14:16 |
| Sysi | knome: libreoffice is a fork of openoffice and currently in repositories is openoffice | 14:16 |
| Sysi | libreoffice coming in natty | 14:17 |
| differentSmoke | well, the whole point of installing xubuntu in this machine is that a modern windows version was no longer feasible | 14:17 |
| knome | Sysi, right... | 14:18 |
| knome | Sysi, what's the difference? | 14:18 |
| Sysi | i'm not 100% sure about koffice opening docx but it still won't be a lot lighter than OO | 14:18 |
| Sysi | knome: idk really, but separate projecs | 14:18 |
| knome | right.. | 14:19 |
| Sysi | upcoming UI update will make the difference propably | 14:19 |
| Sysi | OO is owned by oracle | 14:19 |
| differentSmoke | Sysi: you mean lighter in size or in resources? | 14:21 |
| knome | differentSmoke, resources | 14:21 |
| Sysi | differentSmoke: how much RAM you got? | 14:21 |
| knome | differentSmoke, really, with xubuntu you should try using abiword and gnumeric if you want the lightest. | 14:21 |
| differentSmoke | ok, will do. I just been dying to switch to KOffice for a while now. I'm java prejudiced and think it has a very cool interface. I use OpenOffice in my windows machine | 14:23 |
| differentSmoke | is xubuntu fully gtk compatible? | 14:53 |
| Sysi | i'm not sure what you mean but very propably yes | 14:53 |
| * likemindead plans to take the plunge & install Xubuntu Natty today. :D | 14:57 | |
| ochosi | likemindead: i've been using natty since alpha2 and it's been working great so far | 15:00 |
| likemindead | Woot. I've been running Linux Mint 10 since I got a new hdd on Black Friday. Missing Xubuntu something fierce. | 15:00 |
| differentSmoke | Sysi: I meant if every app running on gtk would run on xubuntu(or in xfce really) | 15:08 |
| ochosi | differentSmoke: yes | 15:10 |
| differentSmoke | so is xfce kinda like gnome light or is there a significant difference apart from performance? | 15:11 |
| ochosi | customizability is also a difference | 15:12 |
| ochosi | there are in fact many differences, too many to name them in a list | 15:13 |
| differentSmoke | a top 3?(again, apart from performance) | 15:14 |
| likemindead | Lots of good info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xfce actually, differentSmoke. | 15:15 |
| likemindead | Also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_Window_System_desktop_environments | 15:15 |

| Sysi | xfce is totally different to gnome, but they have some similarities | 15:20 |
| Sysi | GTK is library to create GUI apps | 15:20 |
| likemindead | So, this is my current laptop hdd: http://imagebin.org/144704 | 15:25 |
| likemindead | And I want to replace Mint 10 with Xubuntu | 15:27 |
| likemindead | Without screwing up my /home | 15:27 |
| likemindead | Mint 10 is on / right? | 15:27 |
| likemindead | So I just install Xubuntu there? | 15:27 |
| Sysi | yes | 15:40 |
| likemindead | Thanks, Sysi. | 15:41 |
| likemindead | I don't know why, but partitioning always gets me confused. :-\ | 15:41 |

| lrussell | hi | 20:34 |
| lrussell | I'm have problems with xubuntu | 20:34 |
| charlie-tca | Please ask your question all in one line. All of us are volunteers and will attempt to answer if we know. | 20:35 |
| lrussell | first of all the system is rediciuosly slow. but i have 256 mb of ram and a pretty good processor. | 20:35 |
| lrussell | and it keeps dropping wifi connections when the router is in the same room. | 20:36 |
| lrussell | can anyone help me!!! | 20:36 |
| lrussell | oh, sorry | 20:36 |
| lrussell | I just saw ur message | 20:36 |
| lrussell | hello...? | 20:38 |
| Sysi | 256mb isn't very much, what is model of your wifi card? | 20:39 |
| lrussell | a trendnet tew-421pc | 20:40 |
| lrussell | it goes into my laptops side slot | 20:40 |
| lrussell | when it does work it is slow | 20:40 |
| lrussell | it worked fine on windows | 20:40 |
| Sysi | i guess drivers are just bad, you could try windows drivers but compability makes them doubtful | 20:43 |
| Sysi | quite no-win :/ | 20:44 |
| lrussell | :/ | 20:44 |
| Sysi | what xubuntu version? | 20:44 |
| lrussell | 10.10 | 20:44 |
| lrussell | i just installed it yesterday | 20:44 |
| lrussell | ive used ubuntu in the past | 20:45 |
| lrussell | but never on wifi | 20:46 |
| lrussell | windows is faster... xD | 20:46 |
| lrussell | but im tired of viruses | 20:46 |
| lrussell | hello? | 20:49 |
| Sysi | you could try lubuntu-desktop, install it and select on login | 20:49 |
| Sysi | should be a bit better with your ram, don't help with wifi though | 20:50 |
| lrussell | lubuntu? never heard of that | 20:50 |
| Sysi | !lubuntu | 20:50 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 20:50 |
| Sysi | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201673 | 20:51 |
| Sysi | you could try that, but i'm not sure how to revert that if needed | 20:51 |
| lrussell | does it work the same as xubuntu? | 20:51 |
| lrussell | ive got revert | 20:51 |
| lrussell | it was using windows on my laptop 4 hrs before xubuntu was on | 20:52 |
| lrussell | XD | 20:52 |
| Sysi | it has different UI but same HW and programs work | 20:52 |
| lrussell | ok | 20:52 |
| lrussell | i'll take a look | 20:52 |
