[00:01] Hey, I have xubuntu 10.10 and a problem with locale, it's by default set to "en", whatever that is, and so messes up a lot of apps [00:01] I would prefer some sort of utf [00:01] maybe en_US [00:01] how do I globally set that? [00:01] the language support doesn't let me choose any flavour of English [00:01] there's just English [00:01] which, I assume, is this "en" [00:02] "English" is in black and flavours like "English (United States)" are in light grey and not clickable === fsd is now known as Captainkrtek === surreal7z__ is now known as surreal7z === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:04] Iḿ installing something in ubuntu software centre. How do I know what is going on in background? [05:05] skumara: i think there's a "see details" thing you can click iirc [05:06] if install something from software centre there is no see detail thing. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === Unit193 is now known as Unit193|AFK [08:22] any one mess around with frets on fire [08:24] is it a limux thing that wont let me hold more then 2 frets or program problem [10:23] hi, i have a problem. if i open mousepad and close it after it takes more time to close a program then normal. what could be the solution for it? [13:39] Hi [13:40] In the indicator applet is a mail symbol, how can I get rid of that? Thank you for your help [13:40] remove indicator messages, log out and back in [13:41] Thank you! [13:44] Sysi, thank you, it worked like a charm! [15:00] I just downloaded some docs/packages from the "documentation" catagory in synaptic..now where should I find them? [15:15] debd: /usr/share/docs usually === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === xGrind is now known as xGrind-off [17:51] does xubuntu's boot menu seriously still use the old logo? [17:55] that's possible === xGrind-off is now known as xGrind === xGrind is now known as xGrind-off [19:18] hello all [19:20] i have a computer cpu 1,4GB with 256 Mb ram, ubuntu is extremely slow, xubuntu should be easy on it ? [19:21] memee: 256 isn too much, xubuntu will run better but i'd maybe recommend lubuntu [19:21] you can try installing both, xubuntu-desktop and lubuntu-desktop [19:27] Sysi thank for the advise , i plan tomorrow to buy 256M used ram to add on it, it should help i guess [19:28] used markets here are really Ali baba caverns for pc parts [20:09] Hi...I am looking for an OS without plymouth === mint is now known as Guest83181 [20:09] Does Xubuntu have a splash screen? [20:10] hi? [20:11] is anyone here? [20:17] hello all.. yes have a splash screen that I dont know how to customize it yet =( [20:23] Is it plymouth or something else? [20:24] I need to find a OS that can use ATI [20:32] What's disappointing about Zorin, people say it's easy to use [20:32] Guest83181, it is plymouth [20:32] Crap [20:32] What about dream linux? [20:32] Also plymouth? [20:32] what is dream linux? [20:33] It's based on Debian lenny [20:33] It has a mac look [20:33] no idea [20:33] uses 256 megabytes of ram [20:33] can be run from usb [20:33] Development on it is slow though [20:33] i dont know [20:34] Nimble X? [20:34] if you want a small linux lubuntu is an option [20:34] Actually I want a OS I can install on hard disk [20:34] That doesn't use Plymouth [20:34] XD [20:34] why? [20:35] Because I am using Linux Mint 8 from live cd [20:35] right now because Linux Mint 10 uses plymouth [20:35] That's why I can't boot anymore [20:35] thats weird [20:35] I had to manually shut down too many times because of boot problems [20:35] why wont it boot? [20:35] And caused some sort of corruption in Grub [20:36] All from trying to get my ATI to boot [20:36] Yet here I am using my ATI in Mint Helena which ironically is considered obsolete [20:36] lol ati [20:36] but really it should boot anyway [20:37] cant you run into safe mode? [20:37] init 2? [20:37] No it goes into grey screen [20:37] Especially if I push f2 to go into the bios and switch back to agp [20:38] It will ignore my commands and start loading mint 10 and freeze in what can only be the coolest black and white matrix graphic [20:38] but that sounds like a grub problem, not a plymouth [20:38] I said that I corrupted grub from pushing the off button too many times [20:39] So I have to reinstall [20:39] But it wouldn't have happened if plymouth wasn't installed [20:39] Does Xubuntu have Plymouth? [20:40] yes, at least on 10.04 [20:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1451592 [20:40] read this [20:40] every modern ditro has it [20:41] exept arch maybe [20:41] Ahhh! It's a Monopoly! [20:41] oligopoly at least [20:41] Why? I think that Linux mint 8 has a better splash screen then 10 [20:41] i wouldn't base my OS choise on bootscreen i have to watch for seconds [20:41] he says it wont boot if it uses plymouth [20:41] Well...I might get something that isn't as modern then [20:42] Well...for the most part grub is corrupted right now [20:42] there, see, thats what i was saying to you [20:42] Installing a new os might help [20:42] it sounded like a grub problem more than a plymouth [20:42] install xubuntu! [20:42] But ATI wouldn't boot before I had the grub problem [20:42] :D [20:43] yeah, but ati sucks [20:43] That's why I kept holding the blue button [20:43] which corrupted the grub [20:43] I might go with Dream linux, it's out of date but it sounds awesome [20:43] Guest83181: Have you tried LMDE? [20:43] i use what ever works and customise it to be nice [20:44] You mean Mint Debian? [20:44] Yes [20:44] I am not advanced enough to use it [20:44] i still don't have much respect for mint [20:44] Though I did manage to set up my own Openbox desktop before I corrupted grub [20:44] Shame really [20:45] boot from livecd on copy your settings [20:45] ??? [20:45] What's that mean? [20:46] you can boot to linux from livecd, then just copy config files somewhere [20:46] I'm using Mint 8 [20:46] No other mint will work since I'm stuck using PCI [20:46] pci what? [20:46] PCI as default [20:47] \o/ yay! new doctor who torrent! [20:47] Soupermanito: keep it legal please, CoC [20:47] Guest83181: i still don't get that [20:47] My BIOS is set to PCI and I can't change it [20:48] ..okay [20:48] Which means I'm using my ATI [20:48] oh, sorry [20:48] Which causes black screens in mint 9 and 10 [20:48] Guest83181: that just means it needs some configuring :) [20:48] And even if I go into the BIOS right now, Instead of switching to AGP, it'll cause a grey screen [20:49] mint people should help, i'd think xforcevesa or something as boot option should work [20:49] You mean from the live cd? [20:50] get xubuntu and then i can even try to help if google doesn't know [20:50] Anyway, I was going to download an ISO to this junk MP3 drive and try and use unetbootin to create a live USB [20:50] Since I don't have anymore cds [20:51] However downloading will be a problem since I'm in a live cd [20:51] why? [20:51] I want to get Dream Linux because it's a modern OS that hasn't been updated since -09 [20:51] mount a hard drive [20:52] get xubuntu 10.04 [20:52] :/ [20:52] I want to try to get one that doesn't have a splash screen. [20:52] I'd use Puppy Linux but you can't install it [20:53] ... yes, yes you can [20:53] Not without partitioning first and I don't know how to edit grub2 [20:53] all my library terminals use puppy [20:53] What's CrunchBang? [20:53] Your a librarian? [20:54] indeed :D [20:54] well a student of library science that happens to work on a library [20:55] Linux Library! Awesome [20:55] Anyway I'm looking at distro lists [20:55] I came across Crunchbang linux [20:56] :D its easier to leave unatended because people cant get them flooded whit viruses or install stuff on them [20:56] True! [20:57] crunchbag i see, its interesting, well if i need a small linux i use slitaz or puppy [20:57] I always got angry that computers at the library would be broken the next time I came in [20:57] that happens [20:57] On the list of distros Nimble X and Crunchbang are rated higher then Puppy :( [20:58] Guest83181: Who's list? [20:58] Linux.com [20:59] AS long as it's not Distrowatch's :) [20:59] Can I install Unetbootin from the live cd? Or does it come preinstalled? [21:00] try it [21:00] if its not installed apt-get it [21:00] How? [21:01] It can't find Unetbootin [21:01] Is there something I need to do to get rythmbox gmusicplaer to remember the settings i give it?? [21:01] i dont know if you need sudo from the livecd but if no then just apt-get install unetbootin [21:02] I tried [21:03] I It says that install is an invalid operation [21:05] It installed [21:05] Now I need an OS [21:05] Pclinux Os has a KDE Minime [21:05] Or is that bad? [21:07] why does no one answer me when i post a question here ?? [21:07] I know, I've been frustrated before [21:07] patience is a virtue [21:08] if patience is a vitue i should have angel status by now [21:08] virtue [21:08] Hah! [21:08] We all should [21:09] pwrusr: Maybe because you claim to be a Power User and we think that we'd embarass ourselves in front of you? [21:09] Can someone name a good OS Distro? [21:09] oh lol sry i will change that [21:09] have been using that tag 4 years never thought of it like that [21:10] pwrusr: That a joke ;) === pwrusr is now known as ludite [21:10] hows this lol [21:10] pwrusr, whats your problem? [21:10] sry souper just having a little fun [21:10] ludite: Didn't know you were old.... [21:11] Would anyone recommend Arch Linux? [21:11] im haveing trouble getting rhythmbox and gmusicplayer to remember the settings i give them [21:11] Does it use Plymouth? [21:11] whem i close and restart them the music libraries are empty [21:13] Guest83181: Arch? Not for you...it requires a great deal of linux knowledge to install and configure it. [21:13] Oh [21:13] I'm trying to download Dream Linux [21:14] can you run rhythmbox from a console and see some errors while adding settings to it? [21:14] thats usually the fastest way to determinate why some things happen [21:15] ludite: killall gcofd-2 [21:15] with those apps closed [21:15] I need an OS that has long term support and has good hardware compatibility without all the glitz and glam [21:15] try debian [21:15] Wait, I remember that Debian doesn't have Plymouth and Plymouth can be uninstalled [21:16] ludite: sorry typo, gconfd-2 [21:16] ludite: I know rhythmbox stores it data in ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml. Delete that file, open rhythmbox, add a coupple of files, close rhythmbox, and open that file in an editor...see what it says. [21:16] Dream Linux is a fork of Debian though [21:16] Hmmm [21:17] drc: i've had that problem couple of times, and killing gconfd-2 always helped, not sure about gmusicbrowser though === xGrind-off is now known as xGrind [21:18] Sysi: I'm thinking that you may be right...especially if apps do it [21:20] so.. would i like to try kde-netbook or gnome3 on that netbook [21:21] * drc looks for his garlic at the mention of KDE...he its well done, but doesn't like it anyway :) [21:21] * Soupermanito seconds drc statement [21:22] i have regular plasma on this desktop, i tried netbook but it failed with dualscreen [21:51] so, since I updated to Natty the 'Create Document' menu seems to take forever to display, using up lots of cpu in the process, is that a known bug? [23:31] how can I enable dual-touch-tap to right click? My trackpad has no buttons on it so I have to tap with 2 fingers to initiate the right click.
