| ubottu | 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! | 11:57 |
| tomtit | TheSheep: hi | 11:57 |
| tomtit | oh well byeeeeee! | 11:58 |
| knome | ugh? | 11:58 |

| ArisVer | Hi, a question about the root account. Why it is not advisable to login as root? | 13:15 |
| bazhang | !sudo | 13:17 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 13:17 |
| ArisVer | Thanx bazhang , that is not what i asked... | 13:18 |
| === Thermi is now known as thermi | ||
| knome | it is not advisable to use root account, since ubuntu has sudo, which is safer | 13:18 |
| ArisVer | In what way is safer? Apart from learning typing.! | 13:19 |
| knome | with root account, any kind of exploits are easier, with sudo you will think if the thing you typed is exactly what you wanted | 13:20 |
| bazhang | sudo -i for a root shell if you must | 13:20 |
| jgratero | I'm trying to edit the submenus' icons, from the menu applications | 13:21 |
| ArisVer | exploits? It is still the same outcome. | 13:21 |
| knome | ArisVer, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 13:21 |
| bazhang | ArisVer, better to check the links | 13:22 |
| knome | ArisVer, as was linked to in what bazhang gave you | 13:22 |
| ArisVer | I will. | 13:22 |
| bazhang | as it *does* in fact address the issue | 13:22 |
| jgratero | the "education" submenu shows a missing icon | 13:22 |
| ArisVer | jgratero, do you know the application? | 13:23 |
| jgratero | and the "accesories" submenu shows the icon the "education" submenu should show | 13:23 |
| jgratero | it's not the an application per se | 13:23 |
| jgratero | I know how to change the icons, from the .desktop file | 13:24 |
| jgratero | you know the submenus, education, graphics, network, multimedia | 13:25 |
| bazhang | jgratero, what version | 13:25 |
| jgratero | 10.10 | 13:25 |
| jgratero | let me show you a screenshot | 13:26 |
| jgratero | can't take a screenshot | 13:41 |
| jgratero | sorry, it's the desktop directories | 13:47 |

| mitchell | hi im new to xubuntu and need help | 16:36 |
| zenrox | what do ya need? | 16:36 |
| Souperman | hello, so i had to install gnome-screensaver and gnome-power-manager in order to totem avoiding the screensaver poping up while im watching movies, but now i dont have a screensaver setting option on the programs menu, i can launch it from a terminal, but i need it to be on the menu because not all the people who uses this pc knows how to terminals, so is there a way to add the gnome-screensaver-preferences to the menu? or better to make totem not loa | 16:36 |
| Souperman | ding the screensaver when playing movies whitout installing the gnome apps? | 16:36 |
| zenrox | ya add it to the menu using menu editor | 16:37 |
| mitchell | i installed xubuntu on a windows 7 machine and only gave xubuntu 15 gb of my 250 gb hd can i add more space easily or do i have to create another partition im also new to partitions | 16:38 |
| zenrox | yes technal you can by shrinking win7 partion and expanding ubuntus partion | 16:38 |
| zenrox | and you could creat a new partion to add more that way too | 16:39 |
| Souperman | or he could "share" the win7 partition whit xubuntu | 16:39 |
| charlie-tca | zenrox: no menu editor in Xubuntu | 16:39 |
| zenrox | thare use to be | 16:39 |
| Souperman | i found it | 16:39 |
| charlie-tca | used, could, should, still doesn't exist | 16:40 |
| Souperman | its called "menu principal" | 16:40 |
| Souperman | i have it bro | 16:40 |
| mitchell | is there a program to use to do this or a website with instructions i hate to be a bother to you and if i can read it i can do it | 16:40 |
| charlie-tca | !partitions | 16:40 |
| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 16:40 |
| zenrox | mitchell, gparted | 16:40 |
| charlie-tca | Those links should help to expand the existing partition, too | 16:41 |
| mitchell | ok awesome thanks i love xubuntu linux ppl are way more friendly and helpful | 16:42 |
| Souperman | hey zenrox i have to reboot xfce for the changes to the menu apply? | 16:43 |
| zenrox | no just log out | 16:43 |
| Souperman | done that, no luck :/ | 16:44 |
| zenrox | hmm | 16:44 |
| MK`` | Xubuntu's desktop is nice :o this is my first time trying it | 16:44 |
| MK`` | GNOME exploded so I am here to fix it lol | 16:44 |
| Souperman | FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF | 16:46 |
| zenrox | Souperman, let me do some searching | 16:47 |
| Souperman | oh great that menu editor was for gnome | 16:47 |
| charlie-tca | of course. Xubuntu does not have a menu editor, because Xfce 4.6 does not have the capability to use a menu editor | 16:47 |
| zenrox | http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu | 16:48 |
| zenrox | tray that | 16:48 |
| Souperman | you where correct charlie-tca i apologize for not believing you | 16:48 |
| MK`` | Yeah I had edited my menu in GNOME and had to find the keyboard settings etc. where I moved it :P | 16:48 |
| drc | Souperman: I believe that the gnome menu editor is there because it's required for the Software Center...iirc | 16:48 |
| MK`` | the gnome menu editor is buggy, mind you | 16:49 |
| Souperman | D: | 16:52 |
| greenmang0 | i just installed xfce / xubuntu-desktop on ubuntu ... how to get rid of gnome desktop? | 16:53 |
| Souperman | gods this is awful i cant figure out what file keeps the settings | 16:53 |
| Souperman | greenmang0, you need the space? | 16:53 |
| greenmang0 | Souperman, i just don't want GNOME | 16:53 |
| Souperman | XD | 16:53 |
| drc | Souperman: read that URL that zenrox sent you, it will explain the convoluted process that is xfce menus :) | 16:53 |
| greenmang0 | guys ... any pointers? | 16:54 |
| Souperman | im trying drc thats why im saying i cant figure out, one file send me to another that sends me to another ... | 16:54 |
| drc | Souperman: yup :( | 16:54 |
| greenmang0 | drc, can you please help? | 16:54 |
| drc | greenmang0: re-install | 16:55 |
| charlie-tca | um, the gnome menu editor is there because the person installed gnome, and xfce desktops or applications | 16:55 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu really doesn't install it | 16:55 |
| greenmang0 | drc, what do you mean? i don't want gnome ... | 16:55 |
| charlie-tca | !purexfce | greenmang0 | 16:56 |
| ubottu | greenmang0: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 16:56 |
| charlie-tca | Souperman: I will give you three ways to edit the menus, but the easiest way is to add .desktop file to ~/.local/applications | 16:57 |
| charlie-tca | Souperman: | 16:58 |
| charlie-tca | 1. [for 4.6] copy '/etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu to '~/.config/xdg/menus' and customize it. | 16:58 |
| charlie-tca | 2. [for 4.6] You can also create desktop entries in '~/.local/share/applications' to override the existing applications (change or hide) or add new ones. | 16:58 |
| charlie-tca | 3. http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu | 16:58 |
| Souperman | im reading that wiki but it doesnt make any sense | 16:59 |
| charlie-tca | Souperman: you can copy the .desktop files from /usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications | 16:59 |
| drc | charlie-tca: please explain...<something> installs it in a fresh xubuntu (10.10 and 11.04) install. When I try to delete it, it says I must remove the Software Center as well. | 16:59 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 17:00 |
| charlie-tca | then you can add software center back again. | 17:00 |
| hunger__ | hey all | 17:00 |
| hunger__ | think i just had a kernal panic, and xubuntu crashed (11.04) whie moving windows between workstations, how can i debug this? | 17:00 |
| charlie-tca | the way the dependencies are set up, it is required to be removed with xubuntu- something | 17:00 |
| charlie-tca | but you can install Software Center without reinstalling xubuntu-desktop | 17:01 |
| hunger__ | figured i may as well help to debug it and report it if it's a bug... i was on xubuntu 10.10 and upgraded to xfce 4.8(?) prior to going to 11.04 | 17:01 |
| greenmang0 | charlie-tca, thanks | 17:01 |
| charlie-tca | It will not be a valid bug, since 4.8 is not supported on Xubuntu 10.10 | 17:01 |
| charlie-tca | greenmang0: You are welcome | 17:01 |
| charlie-tca | hunger__: it is invalid | 17:02 |
| hunger__ | charlie, gotcha, i'm thinking i should just do a fresh install of xubuntu, who knows what i've b0rked in the years of tinkering w/ this install :D | 17:02 |
| charlie-tca | I agree with that | 17:03 |
| drc | charlie-tca: nah..I'll leave it (I was just wondering about your statement "<charlie-tca> Xubuntu really doesn't install it"...Heck, I still have Totem on the machine because removing it plays heck with trying to re-assign "open with" in Thunar :( | 17:03 |
| Souperman | ^ | 17:03 |
| charlie-tca | drc: not meant for software center, meant for any menu editor in xubuntu since about 8.04 | 17:03 |
| Souperman | thats why im trying to make totem work nice whit the screensavers | 17:04 |
| charlie-tca | I use parole for movies, before that I used vlc, since totem has too many issues to play nice | 17:04 |
| mitchell | ok new question im using xfce is there a difference in it and gnome and can i use programs universally between the two | 17:05 |
| drc | VLC here | 17:05 |
| charlie-tca | mitchell: yes, there is difference. they are two different desktop environments | 17:05 |

| charlie-tca | well | 17:05 |
| charlie-tca | !xfce | 17:06 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 17:06 |
| charlie-tca | !gnome | 17:06 |
| ubottu | GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. | 17:06 |
| charlie-tca | mitchell: yes, you should be able to use any application in the repositories/Software Center with Xubuntu and Xfce | 17:06 |
| charlie-tca | If it is capable, it will even appear in both sets of menus | 17:06 |
| Souperman | :( i added gnome-screensaver-preferences.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications and it does nothing | 17:07 |
| hunger__ | thx for the help charlie, i'm gonna do a backup and rebuild... | 17:07 |
| charlie-tca | Souperman: edit the file now and add XFCE to it where it says "only in gnome" | 17:07 |
| charlie-tca | or remove the only in .... line | 17:07 |
| Souperman | oooo... lol i was just reading it and i saw that option XD | 17:08 |
| charlie-tca | heh | 17:08 |
| mitchell | what about programs i find online that are advertised for gnome and dont mention xfce | 17:08 |
| charlie-tca | It is not as easy as Ubuntu, but a lot more fun | 17:08 |
| charlie-tca | mitchell: if they are not in the official repositories, it is a guess. | 17:08 |
| mitchell | ok thanks | 17:09 |
| charlie-tca | I would not recommend installing them. Please check first to see if it is packaged for Ubuntu repositories | 17:09 |
| Souperman | okay, good, but i still have the other screensaver app showing up | 17:09 |
| mitchell | ok | 17:09 |
| charlie-tca | Did you remove xscreensaver? | 17:10 |
| Souperman | well no | 17:10 |
| charlie-tca | then it should show up | 17:10 |
| Souperman | so i can remove it whitout problems rite | 17:10 |
| charlie-tca | sudo apt-get purge xscreensaver will remove it, then a logout/login will get rid of the menu entries for it | 17:10 |
| charlie-tca | no | 17:11 |
| Souperman | purge or auto-remove? | 17:11 |
| knome | sudo apt-get remove --purge xscreensaver | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu does not include the gnome-screensaver because it doesn't work well for us | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | the remove --purge == purge | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | now, new changes to apt-get | 17:11 |
| knome | right | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | hey, knome ! | 17:12 |
| knome | hey charlie-tca | 17:12 |
| charlie-tca | 1 day to Xubuntu 11.04 release! | 17:12 |
| knome | i suppose the changes are good, as long as they don't start throwing in too many aliases | 17:12 |
| knome | mm-hmm | 17:12 |
| Souperman | charlie-tca, but xubuntu comes whit totem wich does not work well whit xscreensaver | 17:12 |
| charlie-tca | I haven't had any issues with just using purge. It seems to work the same | 17:12 |
| charlie-tca | heh | 17:13 |
| charlie-tca | nothing really works well with totem, too. That's why we moved to parole | 17:13 |
| Souperman | parole? | 17:13 |
| charlie-tca | a lightweight movie player for Xfce | 17:13 |
| charlie-tca | !parole | 17:14 |
| Souperman | :) there now it works | 17:14 |
| charlie-tca | !info parole | 17:14 |

| * charlie-tca beat knome? | 17:14 | |
| knome | yup | 17:14 |
| Souperman | its on 10.10? or 11.04? | 17:14 |
| knome | Souperman, should be on both, but it's default in 11.04 | 17:14 |
| Souperman | oh i see, i just re-installed 10.04 a week ago because something on windows fucked up my main drives mbr so... | 17:15 |
| knome | Souperman, please watch your language, we try to keep the channel family-friendly | 17:16 |
| Souperman | oh, sorry, i apologize | 17:16 |
| knome | no problem | 17:16 |
| Souperman | :( there is no parole for 10.04 | 17:16 |
| knome | really? | 17:17 |
| Souperman | yes, apt-get doesnt find it | 17:17 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 17:17 |
| charlie-tca | it wasn't available until 10.10 | 17:17 |
| knome | right... | 17:17 |
| charlie-tca | I used VLC in 10.40 | 17:17 |
| charlie-tca | 10.04 | 17:18 |
| knome | 10.40? is that a space-age xubuntu? | 17:18 |
| Souperman | i have it to but it doesnt integrates well whit open whit... options | 17:18 |
| knome | does it have blue or some other color wallpaper? | 17:18 |
| charlie-tca | that's even better than 10.04! | 17:18 |
| charlie-tca | anything else knome can help you with today? :-) | 17:20 |
| charlie-tca | he knows more of this stuff about music and movies than me... | 17:21 |
| knome | hmm.. at least about using all your money to buy music | 17:21 |
| * charlie-tca hasn't bought a movie or cd in at least two years now | 17:22 | |
| zenrox | 7 years here | 17:22 |
| knome | 4 days since i bought my last cd... | 17:22 |
| charlie-tca | zenrox: to be clear, Xubuntu 11.04 can use the menu editors again. | 17:23 |
| charlie-tca | We been waiting a long time to get that back in Xfce | 17:23 |
| zenrox | but that dont have a native one ?? | 17:24 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 17:24 |
| zenrox | looks like i am going to have to learn programming | 17:24 |
| zenrox | and write one | 17:24 |
| charlie-tca | since the menus are based on freedesktop.org standards/guides, they figured alacarte was good | 17:24 |
| charlie-tca | I don't remember if they have one planned for 4.10 | 17:24 |
| zenrox | i hope thay do | 17:25 |
| zenrox | it would make editing menus so much nicer | 17:25 |
| Souperman | the whole xfce interface could benefit a lot whit good customization options | 17:25 |
| charlie-tca | options exist, they are just hard to find, sometimes | 17:26 |
| zenrox | or you forget whare thay are | 17:26 |
| zenrox | i happend to fine another menu editor gmenu-simple-editor | 17:29 |
| zenrox | tho it dont let you creat new entrys | 17:30 |
| Souperman | question, xubuntu 11.04 will come whit that awful tablet interface ubuntu will come whit too? | 17:31 |
| ArisVer | Removed gnumeric. The icon is still there. | 17:31 |
| zenrox | Souperman, no | 17:31 |
| Souperman | thanks gods | 17:31 |
| zenrox | Souperman, that other one your talking about = unity | 17:32 |
| Souperman | yes unity, i mean if you have a tablet pc go for it, but for a desktop? | 17:33 |
| Sysi | it isn't that bad, if they got compiz less-crashy | 17:33 |
| Sysi | but i generally like xfce more | 17:34 |
| Souperman | ^ | 17:34 |
| Souperman | i have liked xfce more since like 2000's | 17:35 |
| Souperman | XD | 17:35 |
| charlie-tca | ArisVer: normally needs a logout/login to fix the menu after removign | 17:35 |
| drc | I spent the last couple of days looking/playing a...all...t/with Unity...it's gotten much better...stable...NO crashes at all...Figured out most most of what I needed to know to make it work (and it does work as advertised). But decided that Unity was not for me. | 17:36 |
| ArisVer | Thank u charlie. | 17:37 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 17:37 |
| charlie-tca | drc: overall, though, the environment does work. | 17:37 |
| charlie-tca | It will evolve in Ocelot, too. | 17:37 |
| drc | charlie-tca: Absolutely...and works well, too | 17:38 |
| knome | as in shore up? | 17:38 |
| Sysi | xfce is too smooth, i had to put KDE to this desktop for exitement :G | 17:38 |
| * drc thinks Sysi is just a hedonist at heart | 17:39 | |
| knome | Sysi, are you sure you don't have any other self-desctructive thoughts than installing kde? | 17:39 |
| Sysi | i maybe will try gnome3 too.. | 17:39 |
| drc | !wake for Sysi | 17:40 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:40 |
| Sysi | i'm kinda useless for LoCo since i don't use basic ubuntu, but it just sucks :/ | 17:41 |
| Souperman | kde is like the most awful gui since vista | 17:41 |
| charlie-tca | Sysi: just be aware, normally removing gnome3 requires a complete reinstall | 17:41 |
| knome | sounds like kde4.0 | 17:42 |
| knome | :P | 17:42 |
| Sysi | charlie-tca: with unity or with anything? | 17:42 |
| drc | Sysi: If you want to look at gnome3, try the Fedora15beta liveCD | 17:42 |
| Sysi | everything sucks quite badly with default setup, xfce is easiest to set up, kde has more options but it still lacks some | 17:42 |
| charlie-tca | Once you install gnome3 from the ppa, it can not be removed properly | 17:42 |
| charlie-tca | There is no way yet to get rid of gnome3, and it does take over the OS. | 17:43 |
| Sysi | drc: i maybe will update to F15 completely, netbook stays xubuntu natty as it's the best | 17:44 |
| Sysi | i *could* test if jockey works properly on natty before it.. | 17:45 |
| * drc may be a heretic, but he thinks he likes gnome3 better than Unity, although Unity is more polished. | 17:45 | |
| charlie-tca | choices are good | 17:48 |
| Souperman | i haven't tried unity yet, but if there is something i don't like is options being taken from me, thats why i hated so much the win7 interface | 17:48 |
| Souperman | and the ff4 using that stupid orange menu, and why i will never use chrome | 17:49 |
| ArisVer | Logged out , the icon is there. Restarted , the icon is there. Btw, thanks for mentioning the gsynaptics before. Exactly what i needed. | 17:52 |
| MK`` | is Xubuntu 11.04 on schedule? :D | 17:53 |
| MK`` | I am looking forward to using it on an older PC of mine | 17:53 |
| ArisVer | Can you tell me the way to remove the icon manually? | 17:54 |
| Souperman | ArisVer, i had to edit the menu a few moments ago, check ~/.local/share/applications and see if there is a mention to gnumeric, if there is one delete it | 17:54 |
| Souperman | also http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu | 17:55 |
| zenrox | ArisVer, or check /usr/local/applications | 17:55 |
| zenrox | i mean /usr/local/share/applications | 17:56 |
| ArisVer | None there for Souperman. And none for zerox. I do not see an applications folder anywhere. | 17:57 |
| Souperman | its hidden | 17:57 |
| Souperman | thats why it has a dot | 17:57 |
| ArisVer | I Ctrl+H. | 17:58 |
| Souperman | then there has to be | 17:58 |
| Souperman | .local | 17:58 |
| Souperman | then share then applications | 17:58 |
| Souperman | do thunar ~/.local/share/applications | 17:59 |
| ArisVer | In .local i have 4 folders. notes, totem, vinagre, webkit. | 18:00 |
| ArisVer | That is .local/share | 18:00 |
| Souperman | and on /usr/local/share/applications | 18:01 |
| Souperman | oh no! is /usr/share/applications | 18:02 |
| ArisVer | It is in user/share/applications. I see many icons. Delete Gnumeric? | 18:03 |
| Souperman | i think thats what you want to do yes, to be safe just move it somewhere else so you can restore it if things go bad | 18:03 |
| ArisVer | I install again if i need it. Highly doubt this . | 18:04 |
| Souperman | charlie-tca | 18:05 |
| Souperman | ArisVer, you did sudo apt-get purge gnumeric | 18:06 |
| Souperman | ? | 18:06 |
| ArisVer | Yes. | 18:06 |
| charlie-tca | yup, delete it then | 18:06 |
| Souperman | there, he knows | 18:06 |
| ArisVer | About gsynaptics. When i restarted , the touchpad was enabled again. | 18:07 |
| ArisVer | (The icon went back to Ubuntu database) | 18:07 |
| ArisVer | In usr/share/applications i see icon 'Remote Desktop Viewer' twice. Have not drink. | 18:12 |
| c_27 | hello out there | 18:12 |
| drc | There's no one here but us grues.... | 18:14 |
| ubuntu | hello out there | 18:15 |
| charlie-tca | Hello | 18:16 |
| drc | There's no one here but us grues...and we're getting closer. | 18:16 |
| charlie-tca | !hi | 18:16 |
| ubottu | 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! | 18:16 |
| ubuntu | is there anybody german-speaking? (my english is not su good) | 18:16 |
| pleia2 | !de | 18:17 |
| ubottu | In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. | 18:17 |
| ArisVer | My xfce is version 4.6.1 Is that normal? Iinstall 10.04lts and is fully updated. | 18:17 |
| charlie-tca | ArisVer: yes, for 10.04 | 18:17 |
| ArisVer | brb, fetch cofe, !coffee. | 18:18 |
| ubuntu | danke :) | 18:18 |
| ArisVer | Back. gsynaptics. I restarted and the touchpad tapping was enabled again. How/where fix? | 18:23 |
| drc | ArisVer: I personally don't know your answer, I'd start here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=493758 | 18:32 |
| ArisVer | I'm reading 241807 now | 18:33 |
| drc | Ok, the URL I gave is a How-To, rather than a "I have a problem" though :) | 18:34 |
| ArisVer | drc, your link looks better, no answer on the other one. | 18:35 |
| ArisVer | But before i continue, how to i make the letters bigger in mozilla? I set at Edit-->Preferences-->Content increased number and the letters stayed the same. I'm on Ubuntu machine now. | 18:37 |
| charlie-tca | Ctrl+plus key | 18:37 |
| charlie-tca | Ctrl++ bigger, Ctrl+- smaller | 18:38 |
| ArisVer | Better and quicker!!! | 18:38 |
| ArisVer | I post for Xubuntu. I gey /usr/share/themes/NOX/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:233: Murrine configuration option "gradients" is no longer supported and will be ignored. In terminal after a sudo mousepad command. I think i saw this while doing some updating. | 18:43 |
| ArisVer | I get... | 18:43 |
| ArisVer | Thats a backround screen, right? It was replaced yestarday. | 18:44 |
| charlie-tca | ArisVer: not a problem, that is just an advisory message | 18:44 |
| ArisVer | drc, are you in that page? | 18:48 |
| drc | what page? | 18:49 |
| ArisVer | The one you post a link to. | 18:49 |
| drc | I am now :) | 18:49 |
| ArisVer | In the second square, editing xorg.conf, i have nothing listed there. | 18:50 |
| ArisVer | Just an empty white page. | 18:50 |
| drc | ArisVer: Usually that means that X is doing a good job of figuring out what it needs without one. You can just make one, and it will add what you put there to the X startup. | 18:51 |
| ArisVer | Ok. | 18:51 |
| ArisVer | I expected to find at least something in from the setup. | 18:52 |
| drc | So did I, but X has come a long way since the early days, and now can usually figure out what it needs without your interference :) | 18:53 |
| ArisVer | Is it good to save the file? as a backup? | 18:54 |
| drc | I ALWAYS save a copy of any config file that I edit. | 18:54 |
| drc | Usually same name.ORIGINAL or name.DTG | 18:55 |
| ArisVer | Need to get some cdrs...or with a usb on another hd. | 18:56 |
| ArisVer | Are u still in that page? | 18:58 |
| drc | I have 1@160gig HDD(internal), 1@500gig USB HDD (for video/audio), 1@40gig USB HDD (data archive)and 2@8gig USBsticks (working saves). I rarely use cd/dvd's anymore, unless I want triple backup | 18:58 |
| drc | yes | 18:59 |
| ArisVer | count 6 boxes. ServerLayout | 18:59 |
| drc | yes | 19:00 |
| ArisVer | I have 4 hds, internal, a 250, a 30 a 5 and a ONEGB ;) MIght install a dvdrw instead of the 1GB. | 19:00 |
| ArisVer | Do i copy all the lines in xorg? | 19:01 |
| drc | ArisVer: AS I said, I am not a X or synaptics expert, I just found that page as a start for your problem. Maybe someone that has more knowledge of X can help | 19:02 |
| ArisVer | It says adding a line, but only one line , would it make sense? | 19:02 |
| ArisVer | I thought you were. Anyways you must be a lot better than i. | 19:02 |
| drc | It looks like it's assuming you already have a xorg.conf | 19:03 |
| drc | what is your video card? | 19:03 |
| ArisVer | I'm not a gamer, used to play 10 years ago. A 32MB nVidia. | 19:04 |
| drc | Are you using the nvidia proprietar drive ? | 19:04 |
| drc | driver, that is | 19:05 |
| ArisVer | Yes, this is my main rig, updated drivers from Administration-->Additional drivers, Ubuntu 10.10 | 19:06 |
| ArisVer | It did made difference. | 19:06 |
| ArisVer | I also have an external usb 40GB hd, mainly for backup. And a 4GB usb stick. Theses and the laptop were my brothers , and he did not want them anymore. Lucky me. | 19:08 |
| drc | ok, then if you don't have a xorg.conf already, then maybe you can make one with nvidia-config "sudo nvidia-xconfig" This should give you a basic xorg.conf tailored to your system. Read the resulting xorg.conf and then see what you need to modify to solve your touchpad problem. | 19:11 |
| ArisVer | Some more info, even though it's off topic, sorry guys, but you may find this interesting, (also a blank page for ubuntu), i used computers from 1994 until 2002. Then i had a loong break. This year i started again, because i'm bored doing nothing, and because it's fun and useful. | 19:15 |
| drc | Lunchtime !!!! bbl | 19:16 |
| ArisVer | Well, i just finished the tutorial, it looks a bit complex, covers everything for the touchpad, and it's a trial to find the settings you like. But not right now, i'll have an early night tonight. | 19:50 |
| ArisVer | So, goodnight to all and fairwell, thank you for your support. | 19:55 |
| mitchell | what are the advantages to ubuntu vs xubuntu | 20:32 |
| charlie-tca | xubuntu has nicer colors | 20:34 |
| Sysi | they're different, xubuntu may lack something but it uses less ram | 20:34 |
| charlie-tca | xubuntu is lighter; needs less ram, less hard disk, less cpu | 20:35 |
| charlie-tca | xubuntu does not have to have a hardware video driver to look good | 20:35 |
| mitchell | so xubuntu runs faster | 20:35 |
| charlie-tca | No, I did not say that | 20:35 |
| mitchell | what is it missing to make it lighter | 20:36 |
| charlie-tca | gnome | 20:36 |
| pleia2 | it's also more customizable (my favorite thing about it, I have 3 clocks in my panel, with 3 time zones!) | 20:36 |
| charlie-tca | I run Orage world clock, with 18 time zones, as a small panel on every workspace | 20:36 |
| charlie-tca | mitchell: why should it be missing anything? | 20:37 |
| charlie-tca | I have not found anything I can't do with Xubuntu that I can do in Ubuntu | 20:37 |
| mitchell | how is it lighter without missing something | 20:37 |
| charlie-tca | xfce is not gnome | 20:37 |
| Sysi | it's different, try | 20:38 |
| Sysi | you can have both desktops | 20:38 |
| mitchell | right im running xubuntu on my windows laptop and love it havent used windows in months just wondering what else there is and if its better | 20:39 |
| charlie-tca | Unlike Windows, where you have a single operating system. linux has many to choose from. The major desktops in linux are KDE, Gnome, and Xfce. | 20:39 |
| Sysi | i started with xubuntu because i had too little ram, i got more and was disappointed with gnome | 20:39 |
| charlie-tca | They are different applications and programs to do the same thing. | 20:40 |
| charlie-tca | I started with Ubuntu, and then tried Xubuntu. Xubuntu allows me more opportunity to configure it the way I want to. | 20:41 |
| mitchell | i have a 1.6 ghz atom processor 1 gb ram and 250 gb hd what os should i use i dont care about appearance only speed and variety of programs | 20:41 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know how much difference in speed you would see. | 20:42 |
| Sysi | if you like xubuntu, just use it | 20:42 |
| Sysi | you can install ubuntu-desktop if you want and login to that | 20:43 |
| mitchell | ok thanks | 20:43 |
| charlie-tca | You are using a virtualbox now, just create a second one and try Ubuntu on it's own | 20:45 |
| charlie-tca | or, is that a wubi installation? | 20:46 |
| Sakuragno | hallo | 21:21 |
| Sakuragno | is there anybody should help me with wireless problem? | 21:21 |
| charlie-tca | !hi | Sakuragno | 21:21 |
| ubottu | Sakuragno: 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! | 21:21 |
| zenrox | i guess he dint what his wifi fixed | 21:42 |
| mitchell | i think its a wubi installation it is a separate partition | 21:44 |
| drc | or it fixed itself automagically | 21:44 |
| mitchell | ive never used a virtual machine before i have one just never messed with it | 21:44 |
| charlie-tca | mitchell: if it is has an entry in windows add/remove programs, it is wubi. Otherwise, it is a separate installation | 21:50 |
| Porys | so what time does 11.04 come out? | 22:05 |
| charlie-tca | anytime on April 28 in the UTC timezone | 22:06 |
| drc | You know...one of the first things I do/did on install (of any distro) was change the theme to something i'm familiar with...never gave greybird/greybird a chance...it's kinda nice, with the appropriate desktop background. | 22:32 |
| KM0201 | what would be a reason i can't right click my desktop? | 23:39 |
| KM0201 | and get any menu, etc. | 23:39 |
| drc | Settings>Desktop>Menus>Show applications menu.... | 23:43 |
| drc | This checked? | 23:43 |
