gnarlygroundhogHi. What is the space requirement for Xubuntu Natty Narwhal?17:43
zenroxpretty much the same as ubuntu17:44
gnarlygroundhogHm. Ok. I had noticed on Xubuntu's get page it listed this: "To install Xubuntu, you need 2.0 GB of free space on your hard disk."17:45
gnarlygroundhogUbuntu Natty requires 4.4GB so it confused me..17:45
drchttp://www.xubuntu.org/get17:45
zenroxya xubuntu uses a lot from natty as the under the hood stuff17:45
Sysignarlygroundhog: how much do you got?17:46
gnarlygroundhogOnly 3.8GB. Having to use USB drives until my hard drive arrives.18:11

IcanhasnicknamenHello, could anyone help me with an issue?19:39
Icanhasnicknamenhello? anyone online?19:39
Unit193!ask | Icanhasnicknamen19:40
ubottuIcanhasnicknamen: 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. :-)19:40
IcanhasnicknamenOk, sorry.19:40
IcanhasnicknamenMy audio worked fine, until, well, now. It stopped definitely, and I don't know what else to try. I'm running version 11.0419:41
Unit193Icanhasnicknamen: What has changed? You checked all the settings in the volume manager?19:43
IcanhasnicknamenWell, there is only one sound channel (Master), and it is not muted.19:43
IcanhasnicknamenHowever, I have absolutely no audio...19:43
IcanhasnicknamenBtw, I will post lshw info19:44
Icanhasnicknamenhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/604186/19:44
Unit193Have you done any updates?19:46
IcanhasnicknamenWell, I installed oss4 package yesterday... could it be?19:47
IcanhasnicknamenI removed it btw, thinking he was the culprit19:47
Unit193You may have to change it so things are back to using alsa (I'm not really a audio guy) and:19:50
Unit193!audio19:50
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.19:50
IcanhasnicknamenThat's the problem. I don't know how to restore stuff.19:52
IcanhasnicknamenMy sound card is detected, but cannot work.19:52
Icanhasnicknamenhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/604191/19:53
IcanhasnicknamenCheck out, I tried to modprobe him and this happens.19:53
Unit193In your gurb menu, do you have another kernel option? You could try that... (Or wait for one of the audio people to come back)19:55
IcanhasnicknamenOk, I'll give a shot. Thanks for the help anyway =)19:56
bc81hi there.  my xubuntu installlation doesn't have an option to suspend, all i have is [Log Out] [Restart] [Shutdown].. where do i find the suspend option?21:40
likemindeadShould be the session menu, top right (by default), bc81.21:44
bc81!panels21:50
ubottuDid your panels disappear? Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel | See also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels21:50
bc81thanks, likemindead..i must have messed something up.  is there a command to reset panel to default as like ubuntu?21:51
likemindeadWhat version of Xubuntu?21:57
likemindeadTry Settings > Panels | Add new session menu?21:59
hotquac<3 xfce22:05
hotquacit's so snappy compared to the pig known as KDE22:05
hotquacand Unity can suck it22:05
Liv-<3 xfce ^^22:06
hotquac:D22:06
Sysii'm gonna try gnome3, rumours tell it's nice with keyboard22:07
Liv-I'm still a noob... started with this last january hehe22:09
Liv-and I'm already loving it22:09
drcbc81: I <‌think> that RENAMING /home/<WHATEVER>/.config/xfce4/panel and restarting X (or reboot) should work...if it doesn't, just put the original ...../panel back <should> undo the change.22:10
bc81drc: thanks ill try that..you know how to restart x from the terminal?22:10
drcbc81: startx should work22:10
bc81k22:10
Liv-I can't make monochrome tray icons work. I've installed a few and nothing happened... :/22:23
drcLiv-: Define  "make monochrome icons work" ?22:27
Liv-I've installed different ones (like ubuntu-mono-dark and the whole faenza set) but they don't seem to change (the tray icons I mean)22:31
Liv-I've installed them through synaptic22:31
Liv-maybe it's just because they don't work? or do I need to do something else...?22:32
drcLiv-: Are you talkinig about the indicator-plugin or the Notification Area?22:32
Liv-the notification area, where the clock, volume control, etc icons are22:33
Sysirelogin22:33
drcWhat Sysi said :)22:33
Liv-mmh... I've tried that before and nothing happened...22:36
Liv-BUT...22:36
Liv-I've installed others this afternoon22:36
Liv-ok, I'll try again22:37
Liv-oh well22:41
Liv-nothing happened22:41
Liv-does not matter22:42
Liv-thanks you both anyway :)22:42
drcLiv-: I think the Notification Area Icons are different from normal iconq22:42
drcicons22:42
Sysithey're still going with icon theme22:43
Liv-maybe it's just that some icons won't change, I don't know22:43
drcThe icon set has to have them in the set to show  up, otherwise they use a default icon.22:43
drcLiv-: What irc client are you using?22:44
Liv-xchat 2.8.822:45
drcOk22:45
Liv-the maverick default22:45
Liv-why?22:45
tilleyrwWhy is my xubuntu desktop dull and boring versus Windows or MacOS which has clear and sharp borders & colors?22:45
tilleyrwI have the latest nVidia drivers installed.22:45
drcLiv-:  Try this...choose the elementary icon set...check out the icon (a bubble with the X in it)22:45
tilleyrwIt's not the icon sets.  My screen UI is simply "fuzzy" with indistinct borders and soft fuzzy colors.22:46
drcLiv-:   The Notification Area icon is an X...Change the icon set to Tango, tie normal icon changes, but the NA icon does not.22:47
Liv-I had elementary xubuntu dark before and the chat icon is always an orange X that says "chat" in very small white letters22:47
drcThe Same with pidgin, the normal icon is onething, but the notification icon is something else...22:48
Liv-whatever theme I choose, the chat icon is always the same22:48
tilleyrwEven my text in chat is fuzzy with indistinct boundaries.22:48
Liv-same with pidgin but that's another thing...22:48
tilleyrwI'm searching settings now.22:48
drcLiv-: in both the menu and the NA?22:48
Liv-yes, except with the elementary set22:49
Liv-which shows the white bubble as you said22:49
Liv-in the menu22:49
tilleyrwTo whom are you chatting, Liv / drc?22:50
tilleyrwWho here can help me with a video interface issue?  I think the vid drivers aren't precise on my box.22:50
drcMy point is...I <think> the Menu/Desktop and the NA icons are distict entities (may one is 25px and the others are 32...as an example), so if the icon set you change to does not have the NA subset, it will display a default icon.22:51
drctilleyrw: not you22:51
Liv-seems they are different indeed22:51
Liv-for example if I want to change pidgin's NA icon I need to do something else (which requires root permission I think)22:52
drcLiv-: It could...I've never been that interested to find out (or am lazy, one or the other)22:53
Liv-hehe don't worry, I can live with that :)22:54
drctilleyrw: As for fonts, have you looked at Menu>Settings>Settings Manager>Appearence>Fonts?22:55
drctilleyrw: I use 1) Enable Anti-aliasing, 2) Hinting = Full and 3) Sub-pixel order = RGB, and my fonts are very precise22:56
drctilleyrw: You do know it's considered rude to initiate a PM without asking, don't you?22:57
drctilleyrw: I also replace the default (Droid?) with DejaVu Sans Book.22:59
drctilleyrw: Also, look at Menu>Settings>Settings Manager>Windows Manager Tweaks and turn off Compositor and see if that helps23:01
tilleyrwWhere are Font adjustments?  I don't see a Fonts module.23:05
drctilleyrw: Menu>Settins>Settings Manager>Appearence> Fonts23:06
tilleyrwThank you kind friend.23:06
drcnp :)23:06
drcIf these Don't help, you might make sure that your running your monitors native resolution (whatever that is)23:07
drctilleyrw: You do know it's considered rude to initiate a PM without asking, don't you? Redux.23:08
drctilleyrw: Besides, asking question in the channel allows others to follow the converstion and either learn or add their ideas.23:10
Liv-tilleyrw: have you tried setting the hinting to "none"?23:10
drcAnd sometime correct the advisor when then make an error :(23:10
Liv-if I put "ful" as you said, it looks awful in my monitor23:10
Liv-*full23:11
drcYup...it depends on the card/monitor/eyes :)  YMMV as they say.23:12
drcPupply Play Time...back later23:13
tilleyrwHow do I change my maximum screen resolution?  I need 1280x1024.  The largest in the menu is 1024x768.23:15
tilleyrwHow can I change my max screen res if the size isn't listed?  My max says 1024x768 when I need 1280x1024.23:21
Liv-maybe you can't change it to a larger resolution than that23:21
Liv-or maybe yes, through the terminal... but I don't know any commands for that23:22
tilleyrwI'll try editing x.conf.23:23
tilleyrwIt may be a driver thing though.  :(23:23
Liv-maybe :/23:23
hotquacit's probably a driver thing23:25
