[00:59] thank you for asking [00:59] ummm... [00:59] I'm just curious about Xubunto [00:59] ups [00:59] Xubuntu [01:00] :) what is you are curious about? [01:00] I'm studing to fix computers [01:00] I'm from Paraguay [01:01] and we usually don't use Linux [01:01] and I'm curious about Linux [01:01] coz I never used before [01:01] :) Pirevai no problem =D im from argentina che! :D [01:01] heee, ya esta ya entonces [01:02] tho here we speak english :D [01:02] ups [01:02] sorry [01:02] ummm... [01:02] but you could go to #ubuntu-es or #ubuntu-es-offtopic to speak whit people freely [01:02] one sec [01:02] sadly there aint a #xubuntu-es [01:03] ohhh I see [01:03] but I don't have any problems to talk in english [01:03] apparently there is a #xubuntu-es but is unhabitated [01:04] my wife is an american [01:04] :) then you could go to #xubuntu-offtopic [01:04] so I talk all the time in english} [01:04] and talk freely there :D [01:04] ohh I see [01:04] here is for people who have problems to come and ask, there is to speak about stuff [01:05] ohh I see [01:05] :) [01:05] we are usually a kind community [01:05] well, so that means that I need to go to other place? [01:05] I mean, other channel? [01:06] if i want to reformat this usb would i do cd /media/ and then sudo rm -rf /CDROM/ [01:06] :) to chat about stuff not related to problems whit xubuntu, yes Pirevai :) but feel free to stay here if you want, to learn stuff XD [01:07] bin_bash, what? [01:07] i need to wipe this usb drive [01:07] never, ever sudo rm -rf bin [01:07] thank you Soupermanito, I will do that, thank you for your help [01:07] why? [01:07] because its stupidly dangerous [01:07] why? [01:08] because if you for some silly reason add a space after / cdrom/ you delete everything [01:08] oh right [01:08] ok [01:08] also use gparted [01:08] or some partition editor [01:08] ok [01:09] or use gksu thunar [01:09] and do it manually [01:09] but never, ever sudo rm -rf [01:12] halt vs poweroff? [01:12] whats the diff? [01:12] halt keeps the system runing, poweroff kills every process and saves energy.

Then from the login screen setting I changed it to do Xubuntu. This is whatever the default were... The indicator plugin included an envelope, speaker, and network manager. [02:09] After deleting it then re-adding it, it doesn't show the icons anymore. But it also doesn't show the non-transparent background. It also doesn't show the running processes in the background. :/ Hmmm... [02:10] can you screenshot please? [02:10] !imagebin [02:10] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button.

Is it allowed to use a domain name with xubuntu in it? [15:45] xubuntu name is owned by Canonical, which makes that a trademark/copyright question for the corporation. [15:46] !trademark [15:46] !logo [15:46] Official Ubuntu artwork including the Ubuntu logo can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official [15:46] no.. [15:46] * charlie-tca fails too [15:49] http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy [15:53] can i use the name xubuntu in a domain name? [15:54] You should check out http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy [15:54] but It would depend on how it is used. xubuntu.com/xubuntu.net, etc will not be allowed [15:55] Things like myxubuntublog might be okay [15:55] xubuntu-info.nl [15:56] borderline, Would suggest checking with Canonical first, to save headaches later [15:56] ok I will do that.

[16:01] * drc has to do something with that indicator bug he filed, but he's not sure anymore exactly what the real problem is, it appears to have mutated. [16:01] * charlie-tca hates when they that. He still has a bug from natty iso testing that did that to him. [17:05] hi, can one open webm files with parole? [17:06] webm? [17:06] i don't know what that is [17:06] let me do some research [17:07] Not familiar with "webm" either. [17:07] if it can't, vlc will [17:08] ^ [17:08] this vlc says it can play webm [17:08] vlc leaks and eats the 4G of real ram and the 6G of swap whenever I pause [17:08] i would try to do so, aparently if gstreamer is updated anything that uses it should too [17:08] so try lurking gstreamer package that supports webm [17:09] the parole-browser-plugin (or however it's called) opens the videos just fine, but the "GUI" app ignores them :( [17:09] not sure if there is any connection between both packages [17:09] yes, thats because firefox supports webm natively [17:10] ic [17:10] also chrom[e/ium] [17:10] usually means the codecs or gstreamer package is not there [17:11] mnemoc, http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/webm [17:11] also http://www.webmfiles.org/how-to-play-webm-files/ [17:12] mplayer could also be worth a try, if you can't use firefox for local files [17:12] you need to install ffmpeg apparently [17:18] Soupermanito: gstreamer-plguins-good supports webm since 0.10.29.1 .... natty has 0.10.28 :( [17:18] :( [17:19] isnt there a ppa for the newest version? [17:20] clear [17:21] <|thrawn|> are there any known problems with xfce4-xfapplet-plugin in xubuntu 11.04? [17:21] <|thrawn|> i'm wanted to insert the gnome clock-applet into xfce (because of it's evolution-data-server integration) [17:21] sure [17:21] xfapplet has never been known to work very good [17:22] <|thrawn|> :-( [17:22] Only a few applets are available now when you install it, and once gnome3 integration finishes, it will not be usable at all. [17:22] Not sure how it will work in the future [17:23] <|thrawn|> is there another clock applet in xfce with support for webcal [17:24] <|thrawn|> as far as i could see orage only supports local calendars [17:24] i have a problem [17:24] not that I know of [17:24] :-D [17:25] I looked for one about 6 months ago and could not find one [17:25] Sysi: gnome-player has the same "weakness" that chromium playing some HD webm talks... it doesn't allow me to scale the video to the size of the window so I can only see 1/4th of it :< [17:25] mAxImUnKiLlEr: Please ask your question all in one line. All of us are volunteers and will attempt to answer if we know. [17:25] |thrawn|: if you find one, let me know, huh? [17:26] gnome-mplayer i mean [17:26] <|thrawn|> i will [17:26] I used to use Sunbird, and it worked great. Now it is discontinued... :-( [17:27] always good when I turn on my pc the screen instead of being usplash xubuntu patches is 11.04 please help [17:27] :-$ [17:28] <|thrawn|> evolution (at least the calendar part) with it's nice integration to the gnome-clock-applet was very nice [17:29] hello help me [17:29] <|thrawn|> but gnome3 is just unusable to me, therefor i switched to xfce [17:29] mAxImUnKiLlEr: you are not seeing the xubuntu splash? [17:30] We don't use usplash for [17:30] anything anymore [17:30] if you see what happens is q q instead of letters there patches of otherwise perfectly [17:31] but it will get to the desktop, right? [17:31] just looks ugly? [17:32] nomodeset maybe? [17:32] |thrawn|: I wound up switching to google calendar in a browser until I find something [17:33] if only looks ugly but otherwise nice [17:33] yeah, I don't think we can fix that [17:34] to bad better I will change the GUI to console [17:35] :) [17:37] <|thrawn|> charlie-tca: does that give you reminders? [17:38] yeah, but it opens them in the browser and swithes the tabs to it, and even the workspace will switch regardless of what I am doing [17:39] Typing a sentence and having it jump to the calendar in the middle of a word is not the best thing.
