Guest8231hello, folks, i have a strange issue with my laptop Xubuntu 11.04. after a few hours of working i drop out of session and some radeon problem is on screen, of course i can't make a screenshot of it. and also laptop gets very hot. i've been on maverick gnome for a year, and never had such problems.03:09
Guest8231can it be 2.6.38-8 issue?03:10
bin_bashcan you write down the error?03:10
Unit193Guest8231: Or check syslog/other logs?03:10
Guest8231bin_bash well, probably i will have it in few hours again and make a photo of it.03:11
Guest8231Unit193, how?03:11

risdhi all,..07:55
risdi want to change the network proxy on my xubuntu, how can i do that?07:55
lemraishrisd, i'm not an advanced xfce user, so i suggest that u change ur proxy settigns in a preferred browser. w8 until somebody else can respond ur question.08:06
Cuchulainnjust this side of installing xubuntu (been an ubuntu user for a year)...where is the quick guide to help me transition?08:07
Cuchulainnjust about to install xubuntu..sorry the first part of that question got lost..08:07
Cuchulainnto recap: me=gnome user about to try xfce...resources?08:09
lemraishCuchulainn, u wanna install xubuntu, right? what exactly is the difficulty?08:09
Cuchulainnlemraish, no difficulty...am gnome user, tried kde, and want to transition to xfce, on accounta gnome unity move in natty...just looking for the resource or two that will help make said transition smoother, as opposed to not?08:10
Cuchulainnlemraish, isntalling xubuntu right now, almost finished..08:11
Sysixfce is so simple you shouldn't have much problems08:12
CuchulainnSysi, thanks...that's what i'm hoping...i found kde nice looking, but i will admit that the change was a little frustrating at first..08:13
Sysimuch options - it can be about anything08:13
CuchulainnSysi, sounds like you know it...about ten mins left, then i'm sure that i'll have ??s..just trying to have it all queued up by then..08:14
CuchulainnSysi, a little off topic...you ever had to produce much documentation?08:16
Sysii've done quite little docs, i now would need to write short guide "from ubuntu to fedora"08:17
lemraishCuchulainn, if u have questions, just get here and people will try to help ya. don't worry. i recently transfered to maverick myself. it's ok. and i'm even surprised with some things here, which were not present in gnome.08:17
Sysiyeah, like window manager settings08:18
lemraishfrom* maverick08:18
Sysiand hotkey settings08:18
lemraishand configurable notifications ))08:18
lemraishand not working emerald O:-)08:19
CuchulainnSysi, well i'm producing (perish the thought) microsoft docs, for work, and am having trouble documenting the winkey...i have a graphic, but for ease of entry want to turn it into font...08:19
Sysi!emerald | lemraish08:19
ubottulemraish: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives.08:19
lemraishthx, Sysi )))08:20
Cuchulainnbut emerald was cool...still using it for mav..08:20
Sysiit wasn't bad, compiz settings were08:21
Cuchulainncompiz is broken in natty...for sure08:21
Sysibugsy08:21
lemraishwell, i was stupid enough to remove maverick after xubuntu natty installation ))08:21
lemraishCuchulainn, exactly. i still can't get compiz working with xfwm08:22
Sysiit has never worked with xfwm, use it's decorator plugin08:22
lemraishSysi, u mean gtk-window-decorator?08:22
Cuchulainnlemraish, almost made that same mistake...but fortunately have a netbook to use as testbed..08:22
Sysilemraish: no, compiz-window-decorator-plugin08:23
Sysii don't know how to use it but it's used with unity08:24
Sysifiddle with ccsm08:24
lemraishSysi, oh. :-O and i also should use it with --replace under ccsm's window decoration section?08:24
Sysino idea08:25
lemraishSysi, i'll explore this now, thanks :-)08:25
CuchulainnSysi,  it is, but beware, you can really hose it if not careful...i only know cause i inadvertantly broke it so hard it had to be reinstalled..08:26
Sysii twice shortly tried compiz with 9.04 and back then emerald worked, with 11.04 i've heard in irc that it doesn't and unity uses compiz-plugin08:26
Cuchulainnccsm works great through 10.10..08:28
SysiIMO xfwm is best things in xfce, gnome got metacity as good just recently with gnome3, kwin has a bit more options08:30
Cuchulainngnome3?..me=ignorant...do go on?08:31
Sysiubuntu doesn't have it, for the firtst time ever ubuntu lacks the newest gnome08:32
Sysihttp://gnome3.org/08:33
Cuchulainnmint then?...debian?08:33
Sysifedora, arch08:34
Sysidebian sid maybe, dunno about mint08:34
lemraishSysi, u know i would use xfwm compositing with pleasure, but it doesn't have transparency within _active_ window. that's why i would like to use compiz08:34
Sysilemraish: alt+scroll on window title08:34
lemraishSysi, will it be saved after reboot? ))08:35
Sysii guess no08:36
Sysifor what window do you need that?08:36
lemraishSysi, for a few apps ))08:36
lemraishi always used it on maverick with a dak gtk theme, it looked awesome08:36
CuchulainnSysi, tried to download fedora all day today, and apparently the server isnt up to snuff...i'll admit my connex. isn't the best, but everywhere else was recoverable..08:37
lemraishmay be there's way to add transparency on constant basis through editing some configs?08:37
CuchulainnSysi, is Arch worth the effort?08:37
Sysilemraish: you maybe could do something with devilspie08:39
Sysii don't like arch very much08:39
lemraishCuchulainn, it's worth if u have time ))08:39
lemraishSysi, what's this?08:40
Sysiprogram for settings custom stuff to windows08:40
Sysion arch, big effor to set it to defaults of every other distro and package manager had stupid command syntax, and i didn't like AUR08:41
Cuchulainnlemraish, if you say, i'll figger out how to make the time...thanks..08:42
lemraishCuchulainn, but be ready for difficulties. )) thought arch is the most lightweight distro i've ever seen. btw, u could also try opensuse 11.4 it's a recent edition and still has gnome 2.32.08:43
CuchulainnSysi, gotta be at work soon, so thanks for the response..08:44
Sysilemraish: it's not lighter than minimal ubuntu installation08:44
Sysijust easier to make/keep it light08:44
lemraishSysi, well, i never tried this one :-) well, ubuntu was always lightweight for me.08:46
lemraishyup08:46
Cuchulainnlemraish, wasn't real thrilled with opensuse, not to contradict..looked nice, but outofthebox functionality was sh*t, from my limited experience,,,plus it seemed to run super slow...08:46
Cuchulainnbut then again, i only ran it as VM...anyway...thanks all for the advice..08:47
lemraishCuchulainn, the only thing slow in opensuse was always zypper - package manager. have a good time -)08:47
jozefko/10:15
jozefki don;t see serbian cyrillic keyboard. how can add that one?11:24
jozefkmaybe like this http://www.gate2home.com/?language=sr lol11:31
dvanstonemorning anyone awake11:46
dvanstonemaybe   ...  come back later11:50
Sysii wish people learned to ask12:05
lemraishfolks, how do i apply a kernel patch? i downloaded a.bz2 file12:24
Sysimay i first ask what do you need it for, some driver?12:25
jozefkreally why we don't have cyrillic keyboard in xfce?12:26
lemraishnope, just interest :-) except, i'm hoping that it will improve performance and solve my strange problem with dropping out of session after a few hours of work and reduce battery usage.12:26
Sysijozefk: at least russian should be cyrillic12:28
lemraishand prevent my laptop to be hot so much. to be honest i think that 11.04 is not that stable yet. as maverick was, for example.12:28
jozefkyes but russian keyboard is different than serbian12:28
jozefkand some characters are also different12:29
lemraishjozefk, u do have it. install package xfce-goodies. it'll install keyboard applet for panel. there u can switch layout12:29
jozefkI can switch without applet. but I can't add serbian cyrillic coz it's not existing. actually this is first time I see serbian cyrillic is missing in linux distro. because usually ONLY cyrillic is available for serbian language12:31
jozefksince it's the official one now. latin was there before because of Croatia. which is separate country now...12:31
jozefkmonetenegro's keyboard is what I can use if want to type serbian latin12:32
lemraishu can add a layout in settings manager -> keyboard -> layout tab12:32
lemraishit must be there12:32
Sysijozefk: croatia layout doesn't work?12:32
jozefkI added but latin only. there is no cyrillic for serbian12:32
lemraishi see it available12:32
Sysilemraish: please write complete words12:32
lemraishaaahh12:32
jozefkcroatia is latin only :)12:32
Sysihow about login screen?12:33
Sysior you could ask #xfce12:33
jozefkis that question for me?12:33
Sysiyes12:33
jozefkthe OS is in english. I just need to type on serbian sometimes12:34
lemraishmay be there must be an additional lang pack with cyrillic support?12:34
andre_Hey all, there is an applet to monitoring the temps of the cpu and mb like the lm-sensors for gnome? Thanks in advance!12:35
jozefkandre_, right click and add and find it there12:35
Sysiandre_: panel apllet you mean?12:35
jozefkthere are more than one I think12:35
lemraishandre_ xfce-goodies package12:35
Sysior you can use gnome applets through xfapplet12:36
jozefkI didn't install those goodies and I have the applets12:36
andre_jozefk, you mean installed by default? i cant find anything!12:36
andre_lemraish,  thanks i'll try!12:36
jozefkyes for me they are installed by default12:36
lemraishnp12:36
lemraishSysi, so don't u know, how to install a kernel patch in ubuntu? or there are some all distros instructions?12:40
Sysiu doesn't know12:41
lemraishaaahh. got you :-)12:42
lemraishsorry, it's just a whole life addiction12:42
Sysi(neither do i)12:42
Sysii guess if there are instructions, google finds them12:43
lemraishu instead you and r instead are :-)12:43
lemraishi just thought there are ubuntu specific instructions. thanks12:44
Sysithose too12:44
lemraishbtw, if i install a vanilla kernel, will it break the system? ))12:45
dvanstonewhat is the command to check for updates ?12:45
jozefkvanilla icecream12:45
andre_it seems that my cpu sensors it always says 46 C°, is that a bug or?12:45
lemraishsudo apt-get update12:45
lemraishthen sudo apt-get upgrade12:45
dvanstonethanks12:46
lemraishnp12:46
Sysiandre_: run sudo sensors-detect12:46
Sysiansver yes to everything12:47
andre_ok12:47
dvanstoneso that just checks for update/upgrade12:47
Sysilemraish: depending about drivers you use and how well you can set it up, it should work well12:47
Sysiapt-get upgrade install updates but it asks before it12:47
dvanstoneahh12:48
lemraishSysi, i use only opensource drivers - radeon and brcm80211.12:48
andre_Sysi, i've done, now it should works?12:49
Sysiyou need to modprobe modules it wanted or reboot and then see if it works12:49

charlie-tcaXubuntu community meeting today at 19:00 UTC in #xubuntu-devel. Everyone is invited to attend. Agenda is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Meetings14:56
pteague_workok, that was weird... started up this morning & no xfwm4 loaded...15:53
charlie-tcajust use Alt+F2, xfwm415:53
pteague_workyeah, but took me a while to figure out what was going on... it's a monday & i have my trip on my mind15:57
pteague_workkind of odd that it would "suddenly" not be loading... added it to session start15:57
Cube``guys, how do i connect to previously used wireless networks using the command line only without having to type in passwords but using the ones that are saved anyways just like the GUI NetworkManager (the nm-applet) in particular uses?16:00
pteague_workgood question16:00
charlie-tcaI did not think you could from the cli16:00
Cube``you can do with cnetworkmanager16:01
Cube``but you cant used saved pws16:01
Cube``you got to be like "cnetworkmanager -C SSID --wpa-pass=PASSWORD"16:01
Sysicreate alias for it16:04
Sysialias connectwifi='command --arguments' into ~/.bashrc16:05
Cube``Sysi: well of course, for that particular one, but i want a general solution16:05
Cube``ok thanks16:05
Cube``i happen to know how to do aliases :)16:05
Sysii don't know there to be any16:05
Sysiunless nmcli can do it, if cnetworkmanager doesn't offer anything16:05
Cube``hm16:07
dusf'to install xubuntu restricted extras libavodec52, and libacutil50 must be uninstalled', is it okay to proceed with this?16:14
charlie-tcaXubuntu-restricted-extras is a meta-package. After installing it, you can remove it without removing everything else, and reinstall those if you need them16:16
dusfcharlie-tca: ubuntu-software-centre reports 'failed to download.... check your internet connection', my internet connection is fine and i've tried twice now16:16
charlie-tcaThen open terminal, type       sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras16:17
charlie-tcaand hit enter16:17
dusfcharlie-tca: there is also a xubuntu-restricted-addons, which seems to do the same sort of thing as xubuntu-restricted-extras16:19
charlie-tcahm, is that 11.04?16:20
dusfcharlie-tca: yes, xubuntu-restricted-addons also failed to download, something wrong with software centre, will use apt-get16:21
charlie-tcaThat package just came out in 10.10, I think it will replace -extras. It is a way to use ubuntu-restricted-extras to hold all the packages, and still separate them for each distro16:21
dusfcharlie-tca: so go with the addons one then?16:22
charlie-tcaI still like -extras myself16:23
dusfi know i can try both if needs be, problem is with some streaming radio as per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=176330316:23
dusfcharlie-tca: extras it is then16:23
charlie-tcaI would have to examine both packages to see the differences16:24
dusfcharlie-tca: http://pastebin.com/ncYuQvzr16:25
dusfplease see the errors at the end, maybe something is up with the repo?16:25
dusf--fix-missing = Unable to correct missing packages.16:26
charlie-tcaYour archive site is down, temporary - http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu16:27
charlie-tcais not found for most of the updates16:27
charlie-tcaeither try http://archive.ubuntu.com or wait a couple of hours and try again.16:28
charlie-tcaThat's probably why software center failed too16:28
charlie-tcaIt is just not giving the error messages16:28
charlie-tcaSoftware Center hides the error messages, and just gives some easy to read thing when it fails16:29
dusfcharlie-tca: would this also cause the same problem for sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install tor tor-geoipdb16:34
dusfeven though i added tor's own repo?16:34
charlie-tcayup16:34
charlie-tcait could16:34
charlie-tcaIt might be a connection issue16:34
dusfi guess i'll have to stop tweaking xubuntu for aehile :)16:34
dusfthere seems to always be something to tweak16:34
charlie-tcaGive it a couple of hours.16:35
dusfcharlie-tca: have you confirmed the repo is down from your end, and it's not something i'm doing wrong?16:35
dusfor a firewall issue etc etc16:35
charlie-tcaNot yet. I am in a meeting right now, give me a few minutes, please.16:35
dusfcharlie-tca: nps16:35
dusfand ty for your help thus far16:35
charlie-tcano problem16:36
charlie-tcadusf: you don't have medibuntu archive?16:41
charlie-tcaYou should add this to sources - deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ natty free non-free16:43
charlie-tca!medibuntu16:43
ubottumedibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org16:43
dusf*click*16:52
dusfcharlie-tca: will i use the two commands at the top of http://www.medibuntu.org/repository.php ?16:54
charlie-tcaAdd  to the bottom of /etc/apt/sources.list - deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ natty free non-free16:55
charlie-tcanm16:56
charlie-tcadusf: copy / paste the top command in terminal, it will add the repository and the gpg key for you16:57
charlie-tcadusf: you can copy/paste the second command in terminal to add the stuff to the Software Center16:58
charlie-tcabut do the first command first16:58
dusfcharlie-tca: thanks, looking good :)16:59
dusfbut...16:59
charlie-tcabut?16:59
dusffail17:00
charlie-tcawhat failed?17:00
dusfcharlie-tca: http://pastebin.com/j3ZQ3em817:01
dusfcharlie-tca: 16:47 < thethomaseffect> I've been getting en-ie 404s for a good while17:03
dusfit may just be the Irish servers?17:03
charlie-tcasame error. The mirror is down17:03
charlie-tcaTry changing servers. It looks like ie.archive is down17:04
dusfcharlie-tca: i'm asking him to clarify 'a good while'17:04
charlie-tcagood idea17:05
charlie-tcaI think you could try using de, or gb instead of ie17:07
dusfcharlie-tca: it's the exact same software though, right? also, what's the best way to change?17:18
charlie-tcaright17:18
charlie-tcayou have to change it in /etc/apt/sources.list by editing it. You can do that using sudo mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list17:19
charlie-tca!repositories17:19
ubottuThe packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories17:19
charlie-tcamight help; have not read it17:20
dusfcharlie-tca: there are a lot of 'ie's in there17:20
charlie-tcaI know17:20
charlie-tcaall those ie.archive.ubuntu.com will need to be changed17:21
dusfis it uk or gb? someone is telling me that changing them will defeat the purpose of stats17:22
charlie-tcadusf: easy way == search/replace ie.archive.ubuntu.com     with     archive.ubuntu.com17:22
charlie-tcaIt will at least yet you install new software. If it screws stats up, that is a side effect to the mirror being down17:23
dusfcharlie-tca: i've encountered this woman before, she's very pro ubuntu stats in ireland lol :D17:23
charlie-tcaDon't tell, then they won't say anything17:23
charlie-tcaask her how to get the mirror fixed fast17:24
charlie-tcasince you can't install until it is, if you don't change mirrors17:24
dusfmuhaha17:25
dusfshe says it's going on weeks, and i'll only get 404 at some hours of the day17:25
charlie-tcaTell her that's not good enough17:25
charlie-tcaSince you don't what the hours are, how do you decide what is the okay times?17:26

philippeDoes anyone else have lagging in xubuntu 11.04 with firefox 4?18:30
charlie-tcaand I was thinking how much faster it is now18:30
KM0201philippe: negative, quite the opposite.18:31
philippeI just upgraded from 10.10 and firefox scrolling is laggy :(18:32
bios__hi it seems that i cannot use the key crtl+f11 within a program but it seems to has no global function and i cannot see any options involving this key combination18:35
Kangarooohi i havent been testing and reporting for long time. how could i understand to witch package should report. for example ubuntu-bug to witch package if bug is: 1.) Far left side of vertical scrollbar cant be clicked- taked in action.18:36
charlie-tcabios__: might be limited by the old key layout which ended at F10 in that application18:36
bios__f11 is working fine18:37
bios__just in combination with crtl18:37
charlie-tcaweird18:37
charlie-tcaKangarooo: how do you define the far left of the scrollbar? There is no longer an edge there in greybird18:38
Kangaroooou right side18:39
charlie-tcahm, not a bug, really. It is the final pixel before the border, right?18:39
Kangaroooi wrote wrong. scrollbar is on right side and far right side is edge of screen and its easy to move mouse to end and start using crollbar18:40
charlie-tcaThe scrollbar is usable, but the final pixel before the border is not part of it18:40
charlie-tcaYou could report a wishlist against artwork - ubuntu-bug xubuntu-artwork18:41
Kangarooowell that final pixel could be made as also clickable- ok ill report. is there someways i can try understand to where report?18:42
Kangaroooanother example 2.) sound muted on clean install. Btw i found this bug reported in launchpad but in case it wouldnt be reported then how? right clicking on sound icon on panel i see info - Indicator plugin. so then ubuntu-bug indicator-*other* there is but not indicator-plugin18:42
charlie-tcaThe fact that Ubuntu does not want anything left for scrolling doesn't mean Xubuntu will follow that rule18:43
charlie-tcasound is reported against linux18:43
charlie-tcaindicator is not the cause, it is in the kernel18:43
Kangaroooif there would be better way to understand how to report then launchpad would have more people affected by bugs.. just a thought :)18:43
Kangaroooyes.. ok ill try to think some ideas about this18:44
charlie-tcaThis explains really well how to report bugs and even how to find the packages - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs18:44
volga629found this report https://bugs.launchpad.net/blueman/+bug/66037318:46
ubottuUbuntu bug 660373 in Blueman "DUN connection not registered in Network Manager" [Undecided,Confirmed]18:46
volga629:-(18:46
charlie-tcaAdd a comment that it is not working for you, include your release (xubuntu 10.10) information, too.18:47
charlie-tcaI will look at the bug for missing info18:47
volga629right now the question how to make working without NM on this moment18:47
Kangaroooo ouh- BUG. try sudo apt-get install aptitude && sudo aptitude purge gimp thunderbird . then he asks questions about dependecies on xubuntu-desktop18:51
charlie-tcaNot a bug18:52
charlie-tcagimp and thunderbird are defaults for xubuntu-desktop.18:52
Kangaroooso it will not mess up system if i press something wrong? once i had something like that18:52
Kangarooo1 or 2y ago i messed all up with similar situation18:53
charlie-tcaIf you are just installing aptitude, you have to let it install before you can use it.18:53
charlie-tcaIf Xubuntu-desktop is removed, it needs to be reinstalled to upgrade to the next release18:53
charlie-tcaand that will install whatever is needed for it18:53
Kangarooo1 && 2 means finish 1 then do 2 right? or  just & ?18:54
charlie-tcaIt is not a bug if aptitude refuses to allow you to screw things up18:54
charlie-tcaI don't know. I would never add something not yet installed to the line, myself18:54
Kangaroooi like aptitude couse it also removes unneeded programms witch were needed only to programm that depends on the one im trying to remove. should i better use just apt-get ?18:55
Kangarooou can put command && comand && command && they && will execute && each after another18:55
Kangarooo1st finishing then doing only next18:56
Kangarooowhatever the outcome is it will then do next after &&18:56
KM0201Kangarooo: apt-get does the same thing18:58
charlie-tcaThe point is even if aptitude fails to install, it will attempt to run the next command anyway18:58
KM0201hmm, dunno, never had apt-get fail, so i dunno.18:58
RoastedWhy is it in XFCE I have random freezes with my screen saver? I didn't have this issue in gnome but I came back to my laptop that was plugged into AC power for an hour and my screen saver had locked it.18:59
RoastedMy screen saver was not animated or moving on the screen. it just stopped.18:59
KangaroooKM0201: aptitude does more18:59
charlie-tcadifferent screensavers?18:59
Roastedcharlie-tca, yes. I have a monitor on my laptop - different screensaver was on each monitor.18:59
KM0201i guess..18:59
Roastedcould that be it?18:59
charlie-tcacould19:00
Kangarooocharlie-tca: yes even if command1 && com2 and if command1 fails it will after end of command1 do immidiattly com219:00
Roastedalso, is there a way to make my darn monitor be used as extended instead of cloned by default? In Ubuntu it just auto detects my stuff, whereas xubuntu clones ti by default with no way to save the profile.19:00
charlie-tcayes, and command 1 is to install aptitude which command2 requires19:00
charlie-tcaRoasted: arandr19:01
Roastedcharlie-tca, using it.19:01
Roastedcan I save the profile somehow?19:01
Kangarooocharlie-tca: yes and it will execute and outcome will be then- no such command :)19:01
charlie-tcaDon't use it, myself. Hope someone else can answer it19:01
Roasteder wait. is arandr the same as "multiple monitors" under system?19:01
Roastedcause arandr does nothing when I open it. nothing.19:01
Roastedyet "multiple screens" works great, I just can't save the profile19:01

jozefkso many errors and problems. why I don't have some also?19:40
charlie-tcaNot everybody has some19:42
charlie-tcaSome of us insist on doing things that make errors, some don't.19:43
charlie-tcaMine won't start for two more weeks, when I upgrade to oneiric19:43
jozefkI just installed 11.04 yesterday and no problems and errors so far19:44
charlie-tcaI think it has very few issues, but for some people they become big problems19:45
Sysiit has all general linux problems19:47
volga629blueman19:47
volga629I looked for solutions, but no result19:48
charlie-tcavolga629: did you try the solution through network manager?19:49
volga629NMintegration plugin didn't show up in plugin tab19:49
volga629and in directory .gconfig19:51
Cube``how do i set the governor from commandline?19:52
volga629and no any indication for this plugin in all directories of blueman19:54
jozefkwhy OS X works better than linux since they are both unix?20:07
charlie-tcaOS X is older, and has paid developers dedicated to it20:08
jozefkRHEL has paid developers too20:09
drcApple can control the hardware the OS/software runs on.20:09
charlie-tcaand you pay to use both20:09
jozefkmicrosoft can't control the hardware but it's also works fine20:09
charlie-tcaIf it works so fine, why are you using linux?20:10
jozefkbecause linux is fun. works fine but malware and viruses are pain in the ass20:10
jozefkI'm not talking about that now20:11
Kangarooojozefk: can u send me virus i want to try getting one20:11
charlie-tcaMicrosoft also pays all developers to work on it, and makes it much harder to help them with anything20:11
jozefkI'm lazy to search for them now Kangarooo and those I have will not do anything to you also since I got them fixed right20:12
drcjozefk: Search the history of MS major updates (especially drivers), things were not so good until someone (i.e., paid developers) wrote new software20:12
jozefklinux has paid developers too20:13
jozefkbut for desktop users it's still big difference I would say, than os x for example yeah20:13
Kangarooojozefk: if u were able to modify then it wasnt virus. right?20:13
jozefkI didn't modify. I just burned those exe files on CD :) but if you have good enough antivirus it will be harmless for you.20:14
Kangarooolol jozefk virus on windows can be exe. exe cant be virus on linux couse u cant open exe exept on wine20:15
jozefkI didn't want to say I have virus for linux man20:15
Kangaroooim using linux u have linux virus?20:15
jozefkare u reading at all ? :))20:16
Kangaroooyes (10:10:18 PM) charlie-tca: If it works so fine, why are you using linux? (10:10:50 PM) jozefk: because linux is fun. works fine but malware and viruses are pain in the ass20:16
jozefkah sorry. the second sentence was talking about windows :D20:16
jozefkmy bad yeah. you are right20:17
jozefkactually I thought it was clear that malware and viruses are always going together with windows not linux.20:19
mister_mwhere can I get some good themes? Should I be looking for GTK themes? I'm not sure what most of this all means20:20
jozefkand RHEL is not the only one paid distro20:20
mister_mlike GTK 2.x?20:22
charlie-tcaOkay, before this goes farther, I would request it go to #xubuntu-offtopic20:23
drcmister_m: http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2 for one20:23
jozefkmister_m, look into Appearance in settings20:24
drcmister_m: google gtk2+themes...I got 254K hits :)20:26
mister_mman customizing this stuff is always difficult for me20:29
jozefki'm not sure you can do too much things than play with appearance20:30
mister_mI can never get it right20:30
mister_mthough, it is much easier to customize things on xfce than it is when I used awesome20:33
mister_mthat was a nightmare20:34
jozefkgnome is even more easier I think. but gnome3 is some new story. don't know20:34
mister_mI was going to try openbox, but I couldn't figure out how to get the panels working20:37
jozefkyou have some old pc?20:37
mister_mno, I was just interested in trying some different window managers20:38
mister_mbut all the ones I tried were really hard to configure properly20:39
jozefkdid you try e17?20:40
jozefkbodhi linux for example20:40
mister_mnope20:41
jozefke17 looks nice it that's what you are looking for20:41
mister_mI think the problem is that I didn't know what exactly I was looking for20:41
mister_mawesome was neat - but I couldn't get used to the tiling aspect20:42
jozefksee bodhi or macpup linux. both with e17. very nice :)20:42
jozefk!unix20:58

Bri0I need some help please. I've downloaded Xubuntu 11.04 and everytime I try to install it, at the very end of the installation, it fails22:37
charlie-tcadid you try closing it and restarting anyway?22:38
Bri0you mean, it didn't ask me to reboot and i have to do it myself  ?22:39
charlie-tcayup. just close the window, click the upper right corner, and select restart22:39
Bri0okay, I try !22:39
Bri0thanks !22:39
charlie-tcait will then stop for you to take out the cd22:39
charlie-tcayou hit enter after removing the cd, it should be okay22:40
Bri0it works fine !22:43
Bri0thank you very much22:44
charlie-tcaYou are welcome22:44
Bri0have a good evening !22:44
Cube``how can i access facebook through a text-based program?22:51
Cube``ie in the terminal22:51
jewardHi, I've just installed xubuntu on my netbook and eve3rything seems fine except vim is not loading the gnupg plugin?22:52
charlie-tcaCube``: add the pidgin facebook plugin and run it from terminal?22:54
* charlie-tca thinks that was a bad answer22:54
charlie-tcaI don't think that is what you want, though22:54
Cube``charlie-tca: no, im already talking to people, its xmpp, ie a standard. i want to access the facebook site22:55
Cube``not chat with people22:55
Cube``but i thank you for trying to help me charlie-tca22:56
charlie-tcaCube``: check out newsbeuter if you can do it with an rss feed22:56

Cube``im looking for a file manager thats still GUI but lighter (ie faster coldstart) than thunar23:19
Cube``7[A23:19
charlie-tcaCube``: I could suggest trying emelfm2, which is gtk, gui, two-panel file-manager. It seems to be lighter than pcmanfm23:22
charlie-tcabut it does not do networking, either23:22
Cube``charlie-tca: oh really?23:23
Cube``charlie-tca: what about through .gvfs?23:23
charlie-tcaTo the best of my knowledge, it doesn't do it23:24
charlie-tcamaybe I am misinformed, though23:24
xrdodrx<Cube``> how can i access facebook through a text-based program?23:28
xrdodrxwould atextmode browser like elinks or w3m work?23:28
xrdodrxfor what you want to do23:29
Cube``xrdodrx: they're both blocked by facebook and would look ugly if they werent23:30
roastedhello!23:33
xrdodrxCube``, you can change elinks' useragent23:33
xrdodrxmight make it work with facebook23:33
xrdodrxroasted, hi :D23:34
roastedI'm looking for work friendly (yet decent looking) themes. xfce-look was kind of a let down, unless I missed something23:34
roastedany specific recommendations?23:34
xrdodrxroasted, clearlooks, greybird :)23:35
xrdodrxdefault distro includes nice themes23:35
roastedgreybird is nice, but man its so mac ish23:35
roastedat work I think we'll use bluebird. I like that one.23:35
drcroasted: I use greybird with a Basix WM.23:36
roastedwait23:36
roastedI dont think greybird is what I thought was mac ish23:36
drcroasted: change the WM to BAsiz...makes it more XP'ish :)23:36
xrdodrxCube``, add "protocol.http.user_agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1" to elinks.conf23:36
drcBasix, that is23:36
charlie-tcaI suppose if one never saw a mac, one would not know the difference?23:36
roastedew, yeah. the greybird window manager sucks.23:37
GuiriHi. Is there a way to do a network install of Xubuntu for PPC? The disk image for 10.04 doesn't fit onto a CD so I installed kubuntu and then used apt-get to install xubuntu-desktop. I'm getting a ton of errors now though.23:37
xrdodrxroasted, :(23:37
charlie-tcaGuiri: ppc was discontinued in natty for Xubuntu23:37
roastedthe greybird theme is nice tho23:37
xrdodrxxfce is the whole point of /x/ubuntu23:37
Guiri10.04 is an LTS, right?23:38
xrdodrxI don't know why you'd use it if you don't like xfce23:38
roastedaxiomd is kind of nice23:39
charlie-tcaI tend to go with greybird and clearlooks, myself, with Defcon-IV for the window manager theme when in clearlooks23:39
roastedbluebird is what I want to use at work for the students23:39
roastedbut I like a little more eye candy :P23:39
roastedbut some themes make me sick to use after just a few minutes time23:39
xrdodrxI like xfce-dusk23:39
charlie-tcaso, you want a work theme but with eye-candy?23:40
roastedcharlie-tca, is that too much to ask? :(23:40
xrdodrxroasted, they're mutually exclusive23:40
roastedxfce dusk is nice. is there a way to tone down the white text?23:40
charlie-tcaeye-candy is not really work theme material23:40
roastedcharlie-tca, I'm just looking for a theme that A - looks good, B - doesn't suck, C - looks semi work friendly.23:41
roastedI'm sure there's an option out there.23:41
charlie-tcaI'm sure there is one. I just don't have any suggestion for it, since my themes are pretty plain and functional23:41
xrdodrxcharlie-tca, since we're in a support room now do you think you could help me a bit with that thunar workaround :)23:42
xrdodrxit takes ~1:20 to start on my netbook :\23:42
charlie-tcayou could try putting        thunar --daemon in autostart23:43
charlie-tcait will start slower logging in, but thunar will be faster.23:43
charlie-tcaThere are a couple of alternate file managers too, emelfm2 is good if you don't need networking through it23:43
xrdodrxgvfsd is indeed running23:43
charlie-tcagvfsd needs to be running23:43
xrdodrxis it the 'bottleneck'?23:44
drcroasted: /usr/share/themes has the config files for the themes/WM...if you feel brave you can edit any of them ;)23:44
charlie-tcaWe don't know for sure what the issue is exactly yet23:44
roasteddrc, nice. I've edited some themes before. what sits there though, just the default theme config files?23:45
drcroasted: It looks like all the theme/appearences and window mangers (155 items in the folder)23:46
charlie-tcaxrdodrx: I leave thunar running in a separate workspace all the time, so I don't see the slowdown23:46
roasteddrc, nice. maybe I could customize one23:46
drcroasted: I did today...23:46
roasteddrc, looks just like preinstalled ones tho23:47
xrdodrxcharlie-tca, I've added thunar --daemon to my autostart, thanks for the tip :D I'll see if it has a positive effect next reboot23:47
roastednot ones I manually add23:47
drcchanged the background color to be more eye-friendly (i.e., not #FFFFFF)23:47
roastedlets see how well my atom responds to some serious gimp-age23:47
xrdodrxroasted, mine doesn't respond well xD23:48
roastedI'm gutsy. we'll try it anywya :P23:48
xrdodrxroasted, I can't tell if it's the placebo effect or not, but my netbook seems more responsive/faster on xubuntu 11.04 than ubuntu lucid or maverick23:49
xrdodrx:)23:49
roastedxrdodrx, I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 on a CR-48. I installed Xubuntu-Desktop.23:49
roastedUnity is by no means slow on Netbook hardware, but XFCE is definitely a bit faster.23:50
xrdodrxhp mini 110-3000 here23:50
roastedUnity gave me a 1-2 second lag when I populated "all programs" in my dashboard. The issue is, I have a TON of programs installed.23:50
roastedMy Core 2 Duo laptop is wicked fast on Unity. Real solid. But I don't want to deploy Unity with as new as it is, and XFCE has a proven track record, so I put XFC Eon my netbook since we have some netbooks.23:50
roastedI wanted to use what I might deploy. So here I am on Ubuntu 11.04 w/ XFCE. :D23:50
drcroasted: Maybe the themes you installed yourself are in ~/.themes ?23:50
roasteddrc, yeah, they are. :)23:51
xrdodrxroasted, I can't use unity because of its lack of panel applets. I absolutely need a brightless applet and a cpu/ram/network load applet doesn't hurt :)23:51
roastedxrdodrx, well, let's be fair here. Unity is very young and very new. I'm giving it time to mature. I've used it extensively and I loved it, whereas I originally hated it. I ate my words, but it's still too new to deploy.23:52
roastedI don't want to push something onto 2,000 systems that's 5 weeks old. ya know?23:52
drcroasted: They're only kids, what to they know ;)23:52
xrdodrxroasted, I hear ya, I don't find any fault with unity but it's linux and we have choice, and Shuttleworth himself said Unity will never have a customizable panel23:52
xrdodrxand I don't choose unity :)23:53
roastedxrdodrx, I don't know. I spoke to Shuttleworth in an IRC questionaire thing. He said there's more to come with customizability.23:53
roastedBut that they wanted to keep it very thin for now to stabilize.23:53
roastedhmm23:54
xrdodrxroasted, http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/unity-panel-wont-allow-any-kind-of.html23:54
roasteda slight edit of my theme and I love it a whole lot more23:54
xrdodrxthey're going to allow customizations to things that aren't the panel, probably23:54
roastedI think I found a theme I might stick with23:56
roastedaxiomd, with slightly darker main background23:57
roastedthe lighter gray is too light imo, clashes with the not-so-pure-white-text23:57
