| zruty | Good afternoon | 06:23 |
| zruty | In ubuntu, after pairing, a new hardware output choice shows up in sound preferences, but in xubuntu, this new hardware never shows up as a sound output choice. | 06:23 |
| escoloader | hi xubuntians | 07:23 |
| Sysi | zruty: install pavucontrol | 09:19 |
| Ycarene | Is there a way to completely remove pulse without the installer trying to force you to remove everything else? | 09:19 |
| Sysi | it should remove just couple of dependencies | 09:20 |
| Sysi | what you're using, synaptic? | 09:21 |
| Ycarene | Yeah | 09:21 |
| Sysi | try sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio | 09:21 |

| oobiloz | is it common to have problems iwth adobe-flashplugin in xubuntu 10.10? | 12:29 |
| Sysi | kind of | 12:30 |
| Sysi | crashy youtube? | 12:30 |
| oobiloz | no youtube at all | 12:31 |
| oobiloz | i have tried removing it from synaptic and reinstalling | 12:32 |
| oobiloz | i even tried the addon in firefox | 12:32 |
| oobiloz | nothing | 12:32 |
| Sysi | do you have gnash installed? | 12:32 |
| oobiloz | no, i tried searching for it in synaptic, it says it's not there | 12:32 |
| oobiloz | it loads everything in youtube but the vid | 12:34 |
| oobiloz | anything else i can try? | 12:35 |
| knome | oobiloz, flashplugin-nonfree is the name. you also want to remove gnash, if it's installed | 12:53 |
| oobiloz | i did that | 13:09 |
| oobiloz | no joy | 13:09 |
| oobiloz | i tried getting the restricted packages, it wouldn't isntall in synaptic, i had to use terminal | 13:09 |
| oobiloz | that didn't work either | 13:09 |
| oobiloz | ohohh | 13:11 |
| oobiloz | knome | 13:11 |
| oobiloz | i got it | 13:11 |
| oobiloz | :) | 13:11 |
| knome | good | 13:11 |
| oobiloz | wanna hear how? | 13:11 |
| knome | yeah, if you didn't get to install the normal way | 13:11 |
| oobiloz | well i got the restricted packages | 13:11 |
| knome | and it works? | 13:12 |
| oobiloz | restricted extras, installed via terminal using aptitude | 13:12 |
| knome | yeah | 13:12 |
| oobiloz | hell no | 13:12 |
| oobiloz | then i did sudo updatedb, which did nothing | 13:12 |
| oobiloz | then i looked itup in forum and did | 13:12 |
| oobiloz | locate libflashplayer.so | 13:12 |
| oobiloz | as it turns out i had double | 13:12 |
| oobiloz | i did | 13:12 |
| knome | 'sudo updatedb' updates the filed database so 'locate' will work. it doesn't appear to do anything, and still it does. | 13:13 |
| knome | s/filed/files/ | 13:13 |
| oobiloz | rm /home/oobiloz/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so | 13:13 |
| oobiloz | ah | 13:13 |
| oobiloz | okay | 13:13 |
| oobiloz | so it did work | 13:13 |
| oobiloz | when i removed that it worked | 13:13 |
| knome | yeah | 13:13 |
| oobiloz | and i've never been so happy listening to maroon 5 | 13:13 |
| oobiloz | mweheheeh | 13:13 |
| knome | had you copied that file there yourself? | 13:14 |
| oobiloz | i doubt it, i've just been unisntalling, reinstalling, and all that | 13:14 |
| knome | right... good to know then | 13:14 |
| oobiloz | ehehe | 13:14 |
| oobiloz | :) | 13:15 |
| oobiloz | if somebody asked me this, i wouldn't remember how to do it | 13:15 |
| knome | i do | 13:15 |
| oobiloz | thank god | 13:16 |
| knome | check if you have multiple copies of libflashplayer.so and remove the extra ones | 13:16 |
| oobiloz | i will probably end up asking *you* again next time | 13:16 |
| knome | ;) | 13:16 |
| knome | no problem | 13:16 |
| oobiloz | i will be coming on here regularly | 13:16 |
| oobiloz | and now, to install skype... | 13:16 |
| knome | ;] | 13:16 |
| knome | that should be pretty straightforward | 13:17 |

| nicofs | What is the correct command to start a xubuntu-session from CLI? i set up a vncserver but all i get is an empty xfce-session, so i guess i neet to tell the start script to start xubuntu... | 16:30 |
| Sysi | what are you doing now? | 16:30 |
| nicofs | accessing my pc via tightvnc... | 16:31 |
| Sysi | you start xfce with startxfce4 | 16:32 |
| nicofs | does that load normal xfce4 or a xubuntu session? | 16:32 |
| Sysi | what should be the difference? | 16:32 |
| nicofs | appearance | 16:33 |
| nicofs | during the login screen, there is a diference between "start xubuntu session" and "start xfce4 session"... | 16:36 |
| Sysi | i never noticed | 16:37 |
| nicofs | well, a plain xfce4 session doesn't look like xubuntu - other icons, other themes (i guess it's just that) - i thought someone might know how to invoke xubuntu - or where to look for the command... | 16:39 |
| Sysi | both just take your personal xfce settings | 16:39 |
| Sysi | set it to look like you want | 16:40 |
| nicofs | hmm... i think, that's a problem for later... atm i can'T even get xfce4 to work... | 16:40 |
| nicofs | all i get after connecting is a blank grey screen with a black x as cursor... | 16:42 |
| xubuntu217 | having a problem logging on, hit my user name the screen flashes and the boot screen reappear, no chance to enter password, last session had.. | 18:07 |
| xubuntu217 | a hardware reboot due to nevernote screen capture not working hit esc and enter but would not capture ^X and ^C didn't work either..so now dea | 18:08 |
| xubuntu217 | ..dead | 18:08 |
| Regi | Hey, is there where I can get a little bit of advice? | 19:07 |
| Sysi | yes | 19:07 |
| Regi | Xunbuntu just finished installing, it restarts the computer, I think it attempts to boot from the hard disk and it just sits there with a flashing _ | 19:09 |
| jrtayloriv | Is there a way to find out which menu file xfce is using? I'm not using xubuntu, but I installed xfce4 package from a minimal Ubuntu install | 19:52 |
| jrtayloriv | /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop doesn't exist | 20:23 |

| just_some_dude | hi. anyone know how to turn off "thumbnailing" (saving thumbnails to .thumbnails) in xubuntu 10.04. i can only find instructions for how to do it using nautilus. | 23:10 |
| ochosi | just_some_dude: uninstall "thunar-thumbnailers"? | 23:12 |
| just_some_dude | that seems way too easy and obvious, but i'll try it. | 23:13 |
| just_some_dude | thanks | 23:13 |
| ochosi | why "too easy"? :) | 23:14 |
| just_some_dude | because it seems like a pain to do from what i've been reading | 23:16 |
| just_some_dude | someone even said to do something like this: "chmod a-rwX ~/.thumbnails/" | 23:17 |
| ochosi | ah, that's just hacky | 23:17 |
| ochosi | so, have you tried to uninstall the thumbnailers and look in a newly created dir with imgs or other stuff? | 23:18 |
| just_some_dude | hang on | 23:18 |
| just_some_dude | i'm hoping i don't have to restart | 23:18 |
| ochosi | no, you don't have to | 23:18 |
| ochosi | well, in fact the thumbnailer might still be running | 23:19 |
| ochosi | let me quickly check | 23:19 |
| ochosi | hm no i think it should be ok | 23:19 |
| ochosi | and anyway, restarting your session should suffice | 23:19 |
| just_some_dude | nope, didn't work. | 23:20 |
| just_some_dude | i guess gimp makes thumbnails too | 23:20 |
| ochosi | no, not for thunar | 23:20 |
| ochosi | re-login | 23:20 |
| ochosi | the already created thumbnails will not be gone btw | 23:21 |
| ochosi | unless you rm -r the thumbnails-folder | 23:21 |
| just_some_dude | i deleted all the thumbs after uninstalling | 23:21 |
| just_some_dude | then ran gimp, and new thumbs showed up | 23:21 |
| ochosi | why gimp? i thought you were talking about thunar? | 23:21 |
| just_some_dude | i just don't want any thumbnails | 23:21 |
| ochosi | gimp only uses a file-chooser dialog that is gtk, not thunar | 23:21 |
| just_some_dude | i'd rather have thumbs generated each time than waste disk space on cached thumbs | 23:22 |
| Sysi | they're eating *megabytes* of precious hdd? | 23:23 |
| ochosi | disk space is cheap, cpu power is usually less cheap. anyway, i don't really feel like arguing about that | 23:23 |
| ochosi | the point is that at least for thunar you might have to restart your session | 23:23 |
| ochosi | or restart thunar | 23:23 |
| ochosi | restarting your session means: logout, login | 23:23 |
| Sysi | thunar has option in settings to not show thumbnails | 23:23 |
| ochosi | restarting thunar means: Thunar -q, Thunar | 23:24 |
| just_some_dude | i just decided to say "screw it," and delete the directory from time to time | 23:24 |
| Sysi | you could symlink it to /dev/null :P | 23:24 |
| just_some_dude | hacky | 23:24 |
| just_some_dude | heh | 23:24 |
| ochosi | well, you could run a script on login that does that | 23:25 |
| just_some_dude | now, i do have a "real" issue | 23:25 |
| ochosi | but i still think it's a pretty bad decision :) | 23:25 |
| just_some_dude | it's about hdaps | 23:25 |
| just_some_dude | i'm not going to worry about it | 23:25 |
| just_some_dude | there is no gui for hdaps, and i need to know if i set it up correctly. | 23:26 |
| just_some_dude | it does work, but the xfce4-hdaps thing says "hdaps is off" | 23:26 |
| just_some_dude | i type "sudo hdapsd -d sda -s 15 -a -v -y", and that spits out a continuous stream of data that changes when i move my computer around | 23:27 |
| just_some_dude | it also stops if i hit my computer too hard | 23:28 |
| just_some_dude | but, i'm running it without really knowing what it is doing. | 23:28 |
| just_some_dude | if the hdaps thing is too involved, i have one more issue | 23:36 |
| just_some_dude | full screen flash video will freeze after a few minutes, but the audio keeps playing | 23:36 |
| just_some_dude | if i leave full screen, the video goes back to playing normally | 23:37 |
