| Doyle | Hi Folks. I just ran some updates and one of them rearranged my grub.conf file. Does anyone know if it backed up the old one somewhere? | 01:57 |
|---|---|---|
| Doyle | Better question. Is there a way to impose a custom grub.conf file that won't be overwritten by updates in the future? | 02:05 |
| Doyle | I'll brb | 02:08 |
| Doyle | any suggestions? | 02:50 |

| JeZ-l-Lee_ | I signed up for the mailing list but never received a confirmation email | 19:37 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | is the mailing list working ? | 19:37 |
| cantus | hi | 19:42 |
| cantus | first time on xubuntu; am trying to do sth with contrast on an old laptop; my hardware controls for brightness work, yet i need to change contrast; tried to look for some knobs in settings (didnt find anything); tried gxvattr (cant use it), tried display calibrator (gui to xgamma - doesnt work for me); any other options? | 19:47 |
| orngjce223 | I know /nothing/ about displays. Try #xfce or #ubuntu | 19:48 |
| Sysi | or wait for a while and see if somebody knows | 19:48 |
| orngjce223 | Yeah | 19:48 |
| cantus | sure... thx | 19:49 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | on two separate computer Xubuntu 11.04 shows two volume meters in panel - any ideas? | 19:50 |
| orngjce223 | Is it the "mixer" applet? You can just right-click and remove those, not sure about the other one though | 19:51 |
| Sysi | settings → sessions and startup → autostart → take off tap from sound/pulseaudio/something | 19:51 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | that works, thanks | 19:53 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | XFCE works much better than Gnome on my 800MHz NetBook | 19:53 |

| JeZ-l-Lee_ | any top secret plans for Xubuntu 11.10 ? | 20:24 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | will XFCE be updated for this release? | 20:24 |
| knome | probably not, since we only just got 4.8 for 11.04 | 20:24 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | my only complaint about current XFCE 4.8 is that items on panels can't be placed anywhere on the panel | 20:25 |
| TheSheep | they can't? | 20:28 |
| lefthandman | really? on my previous distro (which ran xfce) items could be moved around on panels | 20:28 |
| lefthandman | I mean, unless you're talking about "floaters" | 20:28 |
| lefthandman | in which case, it makes sense. The ends do not meet the required means | 20:28 |
| lefthandman | also, if you tell me more about what you want | 20:29 |
| lefthandman | I could try and hack it together | 20:29 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | well for example: I like the clock to be in center of a panel - but when I add clock to panel it defaults to the left side and can't be moved to center | 20:29 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | have to use spacers to get clock to center | 20:30 |
| TheSheep | you can move it just fine | 20:30 |
| TheSheep | JeZ-l-Lee_: hmm, ok, soryr, that was in 4.6 | 20:32 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | 4.6 allowed items on panel to be moved anywhere on panel ? - why was this feature taken away in 4.8 ? | 20:33 |
| TheSheep | JeZ-l-Lee_: I remember that I could do it as some point and that it was very annoying | 20:34 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | I think allowing panel items to be placed anywhere on the panel is a good feature | 20:37 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | allows for more flexible customization | 20:37 |
| TheSheep | you can still do it, with spacers | 20:37 |
| sparkiez | happy fourth everyone! | 20:42 |
| elros | xfce 4.10 is scheduled for release in january 2012, so we can expect it to arrive in the new LTS | 20:53 |
| knome | i don't want to be killjoy or too negative, but that schedule might very well be postponed :) | 20:54 |
| elros | I have faith in every wiki article I have edited | 20:56 |
| elros | :) | 20:56 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | is it too early to upgrade to 4.10 beta on Xubuntu 11.04 ? | 20:57 |
| elros | is there a PPA for it? | 20:57 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | I did upgrade xfce-panel on my 11.04 to the xfce-panel on 11.10 alpha | 20:58 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | which allows for window buttons to be rearranged | 20:59 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | I like XFCE - it works mostly like classic Gnome - and it does not take much resources | 21:05 |
| TheSheep | yeah, "no surprises" should be the motto | 21:06 |
| TheSheep | except that sometimes there are some surprises leaking from gnome :( | 21:06 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | anyway to make window titlebars semi-transparent ? | 21:36 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | I miss this feature in Gnome | 21:36 |
| Sysi | see window manager tweaks, compositing | 21:40 |
| Mandrew | hello is there anyway for me to save all the PPAs i have in the software sources? im going to delete this distro that im running and wipe the hdd | 21:54 |
| knome | Mandrew, they should be listed in /etc/apt/sources.list afaik | 21:55 |
| Mandrew | so its just to copy past that back into my new install? | 21:55 |
| knome | yup, and after that 'sudo apt-get update' :) | 21:56 |
| knome | (or update from synaptic) | 21:56 |
| knome | please check first if the PPA's really are at that file though :) | 21:56 |
| Sysi | they can also be in files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 21:56 |
| knome | wherever they are, it is just a matter of copy+paste | 21:57 |
| knome | Sysi, are you on the devel ML? | 21:57 |
| Sysi | nope | 21:58 |
| Mandrew | ok thanks | 21:58 |
| knome | Sysi, oki | 21:58 |
| Sysi | I'm not very good with mail | 21:58 |
| knome | heh | 21:58 |
| knome | well you can check my latest msg in the archives and tell me if you are interested anyway :) | 21:59 |
| elros | Mandrew: you have to copy the lines from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ AND add the keys again after the install | 22:02 |
| Mandrew | elros, how do i do that? | 22:03 |
| knome | or just use 'sudo apt-add-repository REPOSITORY_URL' | 22:03 |
| elros | you can do it by sudo apt-key add ssh_key.key, where ssh_key.key contains the signing key for the repo | 22:03 |
| knome | elros, ^ that should do it as well | 22:03 |
| Sysi | just adding lines should works, at least apt just asks next time you're using it | 22:03 |
| * Sysi always done PPAs manually | 22:04 | |
| Mandrew | elros, i got like 30+ repos that i want to reinstall again so i was thinking of going a as easy way as possible | 22:04 |
| elros | you can save them manually by going to launchpad PPA, click "technical details" and save the signing key file | 22:05 |
| elros | the easiest is to add them with that apt-add-repo command | 22:05 |
| elros | then you have a separate file for every repo you add | 22:06 |
| elros | I like to have them in a single file | 22:06 |
| Mandrew | ok | 22:07 |
| elros | you can install packages from unsigned repos, but ubuntu wants to confirm every package install | 22:07 |
| Mandrew | ok | 22:08 |
| Mandrew | a lot to wrap my head around :D im just a newbie ;) | 22:09 |
| elros | ok, then learn sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa and forget about what I said :) | 22:10 |
| Mandrew | hehe | 22:10 |
| Sysi | I don't really know about gui client but adding lines to sources.list and then apt-get update ; install has always just worked | 22:10 |
| elros | in synaptic you can use the software sources | 22:11 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | I'm probably not the only person here who left Gnome and regular Ubuntu for XFCE on Xubuntu | 22:35 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | Gnome 2.x was great, but Gnome 3/Unity are just terrible | 22:37 |
| Sysi | I actually like gnome3 quite much, I hated old gnome | 22:37 |
| Sysi | something mixing unity/gnome3 would be perfect | 22:38 |
| Sysi | I'm propably still going back to xfce on my desktop | 22:38 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | XFCE is very similar to classic Gnome 2.x | 22:39 |
| Sysi | not in the parts I like in xfce | 22:39 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | I just hope XFCE does not become another KDE | 22:45 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | tried KDE, made me feel ill | 22:46 |
| Phosphenes | How is xubuntu pronounced? | 22:47 |
| Phosphenes | subuntu, zubuntu? | 22:47 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | "X"+ubuntu | 22:47 |
| Phosphenes | Okay, thanks. | 22:48 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | just a guess | 22:48 |
| Phosphenes | lol | 22:48 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | perhaps someone else here knows | 22:48 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | I make open-source cross-platform games for Windows and Linux: www.16BitSoft.com | 22:50 |
| knome | "zoobuntu" tends to be the most used | 22:51 |

| Phosphenes | lol there's a program called gigolo on here. | 23:32 |
| knome | yes. | 23:35 |
| Phosphenes | That is funny. | 23:36 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | what does Gigolo do ? | 23:38 |
| knome | connect/mount to networks | 23:38 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | sounds sexy | 23:39 |
| Phosphenes | That's why it's called gigolo. | 23:39 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | on on my NetBook now - here is photo of my Xubuntu 11.04 desktop: http://16bitsoft.com/images/MyXubuntuDesktop-NetBook01.png | 23:40 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | top of screen is actually 3 panels | 23:41 |
| JeZ-l-Lee_ | I figured out how to make window titlebars transparent, but am wondering how to make them fuzzy like Windows(R) Aero style | 23:49 |
| maxtor | ls | 23:58 |
| maxtor | lol, ls... bleh | 23:58 |
| maxtor | guys, wanna change gdm background on xubuntu.. information on the site seems not working | 23:59 |
| maxtor | it says link /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearahce stuff to somewhere in gdm things. but the file earlier is non existent | 23:59 |
