I am afraid to lose X like I did on the regular ubuntu 11.04 :( [06:07] 11.04 question [06:07] why am i unable to drag taskbar items around to reposition them? how do i regain this feature? [06:07] eg, i like my xterms to be in a specific sequence. in 10.10 i was able to drag the taskbar entry to where i wanted [06:08] #ubuntu+1 please [06:09] toodles === thermi is now known as Thermi === Thermi is now known as thermi === thermi is now known as Thermi [15:22] Hello, it is quiet here. [15:26] Does anyone know how to remove Adblock Plus from Mozilla? [15:34] select the tools menu, then add-ons. this will launch a window which allows you to remove add-ons like adblock plus === Thermi is now known as thermi === thermi is now known as Thermi [15:50] taylorc209: I can disable them (extensions) but i cannot uninstall them. Some do not have that option. It's grayed. [15:51] adblock can also be installed as a regular package with apt. likely that how it was installed. one sec i'll try to dig up the name real quick [15:52] what version are you running? [15:53] 3.6.16 , on ubuntu 10.10 btw. [15:57] try "sudo apt-get remove xul-ext-adblock-plus" sorry I don't have a 10.10 box to try it on and i believe the package has changed names between versions (also can't find it available on my natty machine) [15:59] do you know where they are located, so i can remove them manually? and i'm on xubuntu on my netbook now :) [16:01] It worked. [16:10] taylorc209: Thanks, i'm removing them all one by one. === Thermi is now known as thermi [17:54] had a quick question for, well anyone using the natty beta of xubuntu [17:54] does it use pulseaudio? [17:54] my soundcard/mic don't like pulseaudio [17:58] it does, and your soundcard/mic doesn't have anything to dislike, as pulseaudio doesn't talk to it directly [17:58] well when i use anything that needs the mic it doesn't pickup [17:58] if i tap it the bar moves 1 notch [17:59] if i uninstall pulseaudio and use alsamixer [17:59] everything is fine [17:59] install pavucontrol and set higher volume for the microphone [17:59] i tried [17:59] even mic boost [18:00] I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with pulseaudio [18:00] it will not pickup anything but yelling directly into it or banging it [18:00] even with the mic at 100% [18:00] are you sure it's the right channel for the microphone? [18:00] well, i read i'm not the only one with the problem [18:00] yes, right channel [18:01] it may be my netbook [18:01] as i'm not the first to complain [18:01] I had similar problems, but choosing the right devices and channels fixes it [18:02] padevchooser might help too [18:02] that one i haven't tried [18:03] fyi, i'm not new to linux at all, just the mic is getting to me [18:03] i needed it for a business skype call [18:03] I know, I hated pulseaudio for a time too, when it was new and I had to learn it [18:03] and it gave me a headache [18:03] now I have the same thing with grub2 [18:03] well, i'll learn to love it then [18:04] ha, yeah, i can relate to that one [18:04] I just have to bite the bullet and learn the third boot manager [18:04] I still can't understand what was wrong with lilo, it just worked [18:05] only problem i ever had with lilo was HD > 8Gb [18:05] boot partition solves that [18:05] right [18:05] was about to say that [18:05] but now most flavors want single partition and a swap [18:05] that whole progress is one great fraud scheme, I tell ya [18:05] i miss the /boot / /home /usr [18:06] not most flavors maybe, but most users want the / only [18:06] /usr mounted as read-only! [18:06] and noexec in /home [18:07] well, i've had users that neede /home/uname/bin [18:07] programming studies etc [18:07] but yeah, for the most part [18:07] noexec [18:07] \msg #xubuntu /var with noexec too [18:07] grr [18:07] wrong slash :P [18:08] thanks for pointing me to the pa utilities [18:08] i'll play with them [18:08] i think i'll stick around to chat though [18:09] but first i need a smoke break [18:18] TheSheep, with irssi, you can just / /var with...

[18:24] not *directly* :D [18:24] lol [18:24] i've been meaning to go to germany soonish [18:25] might just take a train [18:25] thecrazygm, yeah, not directly, you can swim a big part of the trip [18:25] fosdem is in February [18:25] that when my bday is [18:25] that would rock [18:27] do you know a better way to make bootable usb sticks [18:27] i've been using unetbootin [18:27] system -> startup disk creator [18:28] i'll be damned [18:28] already there [18:28] oh well [18:29] well, download done, bootdisk being made [18:30] you guys might lose me for a few [18:30] wanna check out the beta [18:30] it's not often i get to speak to other intelligent people [18:31] i might pop in more often [18:33] intelligent people on irc? [18:33] yeah [18:33] sir, you are mistaken [18:33] oxymoronic isn't it [18:33] all right folk be back after the format [18:34] * drc wonders what he'd think about Eliza? [18:35] drc: tell me more about what he'd think about Eliza? [18:35] :) [18:40] Woah...when did "windows buttons" really become (small) windows "buttons"? === thermi is now known as Thermi [18:55] drc: what? [18:59] In the panel, the "windows buttons" (last time I looked...been playing around with LMDE) were a button AND text. Unles I've missed something, the text is gone. [19:00] Oh, nevermind :) [19:01] Never remember having to add the "show button labels: before... [19:01] * drc needs more tea...he's losing it...too many distros in too few day [19:04] Ah...I remember...must have unclicked the "show button labels" when I got rid of the "show handle"...getting old, tired and click happy. [19:04] bah [20:34] gn8 === Thermi is now known as thermi [20:36] i'm back [20:36] still can't get pulse audio to use my mic [20:43] does Xubuntu have its own log file viewer or does it use GNOME's? [20:44] hola [20:48] MK``: I don't think I use a log viewer, I just go to /var/log in thunar and view the logs in mousepad [20:48] gah, updates need to restart [20:48] brb [20:48] Ah. [20:49] OTOH, I think when I did use the log viewer in Ubuntu, it was difficult for me to use. [20:50] is it gnome-system-log? [20:52] is what? [20:52] the log viewer in gnome? [20:52] I don't know [20:52] in Xubuntu [20:52] if it comes with one [20:52] I don't think it comes with one by default [20:52] Ah [21:25] guys, is gallium3D driver gonna be dafault for xubuntu 11.04, too? [21:26] gallium3d? [21:26] gallium is the latest nvidia driver, and yes, if it is default in Ubuntu, it will be in Xubuntu [21:27] charlie-tca, but this driver is also used for radeon, isn't it? [21:28] I think it is, a non-propriety, nvidia and ati 3d driver [21:28] thank u -) [21:28] is xubuntu beta already available? [21:29] yes, it is, sorry [21:29] no problem [21:30] I can't get to the url right now, but yes, it is. [21:31] 11.04 final in one week! [21:52] charlie-tca, i guess some nice features to come )) [22:02] yup [22:03] Xfce 4.8, with editable menus! [22:03] gmusicbrowser, a great wallpaper [22:06] charlie-tca, i'll have a look today )) i use ubuntu maverick, but i need a second system, either ubuntu or suse, but i'm not gonna use unity, so i think xubuntu might good variant [22:07] You do know you can use classic-desktop which is like maverick, right? [22:08] You just change the session at login, in Ubuntu. It will default to the session you pick after the first login [22:09] charlie-tca, well i tried 11.04 livecd, i only saw fallback mode. but dunno. [22:09] that's because with the live cd, you have to logout, hit the name, change the session, then hit enter on the password [22:10] yup, i know, i just didn't try )) [22:10] btw, is the new opensource broadcom driver to come, or i will have to use STA? [22:11] I don't know. Some people have to use STA [22:11] ok [22:11] on the live cd, check in system -> Additional Drivers [22:11] yup )) [22:12] so exaile is no more default player, right? [22:14] right [22:14] we now have parole and gmusicbrowser [22:16] exaile was the best for me, but it doesn't have stable crossfading mode. what a pity... [22:20] I did get a cd to play in parole, so I guess it will work [22:20] knome is about the most knowledgeable person we got when it comes to playing music and the different types of files [22:36] How to change keyboard input in Xubuntu? [22:36] I installed my language from settings and i have it in keyboard layouts [22:37] i have iBus or something as method [22:37] but when i press the shortcut it doesnt change the layout [22:37] You might have to define the shortcut each login. [22:38] i can only change it if i go to settings manager Keyboard and chose there the Layout? [22:38] That is a reported bug in Xfce [22:38] oh [22:38] it's confusing [22:38] I agree [22:38] i have iBus i think icon on the taskbar [22:39] and there from the input languages i can only chose Chinese which i didn't even install :) [22:39] oh well thanks :) [22:39] I don't even get that choice. I get the keyboard I installed only [22:40] are you on Natty? [22:40] (installed during the installation, not later) [22:40] yup [22:40] weird [22:48] ibus-setup? [22:50] well i can't tell [22:50] just clicked on the input methods everywhere and tried to enable things haha [22:50] no idea what i have done :) [22:50] anyway disabled everything and now i'm switching from the Kayboard Layout thing [22:58] I have tried the 11.04 beta. it seems like if xfce4-panel's autohide function doesnt work properly [22:58] any way I can fix that? [22:58] What seems wrong with it? [22:59] it hides it even though I have disabled it [22:59] Did you logout after disabling auto-hide? [23:00] vinky_ are you sure you disabled Panel2 and not Panel1? :) [23:01] hat? [23:02] charlie-tca, do I need to do that? I never needed that before. enabling it moves the lower edge of maximized windows down as I expect [23:02] You said it still hides after disabling it. I would logout and log back in then. Most of the user area changes require a logout to take effect properly [23:03] if I disable it, the panel is only seen if I hover over it, else I see the background instead of the panel [23:04] That sounds like a bug due to the fading, it is probably theme related. [23:04] You could file a bug using ubuntu-bug xubuntu-artwork [23:05] It should be visible full time [23:05] yeah exactly [23:09] brb
