JeZ-l-Lee_that might help00:13
JeZ-l-Lee_Xubuntu is my nominee for best OS00:57
knomeJeZ-l-Lee_, if you have a blog, write about that and paste the article link in the channel00:57
JeZ-l-Lee_I've been Windows(R) free for about 3 years00:57
knome<- since nov 200600:59
JeZ-l-Lee_I still run XP in a virtual machine, but only to test the video games I make00:59
knomemmh, i also have to run XP in vbox to use photoshop for my work00:59
knomeand i like testing websites with IE there rather than under wine01:00
JeZ-l-Lee_Windows(R) is pretty awful, but XP sucked the least01:01
knomeimo windows 2000 was definitely the best, but photoshop cs2 refused to work with that, so i needed XP01:01
knomenow that i think it, i think i have win 2k installed as dualboot here in my laptop01:02
knomecan't remember when i used it the last time, though01:02
JeZ-l-Lee_I have an old test computer and it boots 6 OS's01:03
knomei'm trying to cut down to as few machines as possible01:03
JeZ-l-Lee_XP/Vista/7/Ubuntu/openSUSE/Fedora01:03
knomei only have one extra machine, and i'm planning to turn that into a gaming PC once i decide to replace the broken PSU01:04
knome(it's a shuttle, so a new PSU costs 150e, and i'm not sure if i'm ready to pay that, now that we purchased a PS3...)01:04
JeZ-l-Lee_But you can game on your Linux with Wine ?01:04
knomesure, but the idea would be to connect that to our TV01:04
knomeand i don't really play much PC games01:05
knomeopenttd++, and that works natively in linux ;)01:05
knomethen some other games in the same genre, rollercoaster tycoon and such01:05
knomemost those work under wine as well01:05
JeZ-l-Lee_I buy games using STEAM client01:05
knomebut a few won't01:05
JeZ-l-Lee_have about 100+ Steam games01:05
knomeit's been quite a few years since i really played a lot01:06
knomewell, with PS3 a bit more, but if i didn't have this, i wouldn't use the same time in playing with PC01:06
JeZ-l-Lee_You can install Xubuntu onto the PS3 ?01:07
knomeno, i'm running the official system01:07
knomethey actually removed the possibility to install linux into a PS301:08
knome(without jailbreaking)01:08
JeZ-l-Lee_that is unfortunate01:08
JeZ-l-Lee_I've just got a Nintendo Wii - will Wii run Linux?01:09
knomekind of, but i have no desires of installing linux to the PS3, actually01:09
knomei don't know, probably best to google01:09
Phospheneslol nerds01:11
PhosphenesI'm gonna linux my microwave tonight01:11
knomePhosphenes, why not? a friend once made a HTTP-controllable coffee maker01:12
PhosphenesLegit?01:12
knomethere is even a RFC for that, iirc01:12
knomesure!01:12
PhosphenesThat's great01:12
knomehttp://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2324.html01:12
knomethere you go01:12

PhosphenesI'm gonna make me one of there.01:13
Phosphenesthese*01:13
knomegreat! ;)01:13
knomeisn't internet great? 99.99% of the ideas you come up with have already been thought AND executed01:14
knomethey saved you from a lot of thinking with HTCPCP01:15
JeZ-l-Lee_coolest thing I saw was a port of Doom on a TI-85 calculator01:15
PhosphenesI saw that01:16

LogicallyDashingMy menus have disappeared. Not the main XFCE menu on my panel, that one's fine. The menu bars that are supposed to be just below the title bars in every application, those are missing. Everywhere.15:15
LogicallyDashingThis only happens in Xubuntu though, if I log into a vanilla Ubuntu session there's no issue.15:15
LogicallyDashingOr, well... an Ubuntu Classic session.15:15
LogicallyDashingNot sure about Unity.15:15
charlie-tcaLogicallyDashing: what version of Xubuntu?15:38
LogicallyDashingcharlie-tca, 11.0415:38
charlie-tcaDid you install Xubuntu or xfce only to Ubuntu?15:38
LogicallyDashingcharlie-tca, first I installed xubuntu from the alternate installation cd, then I installed ubuntu-desktop15:39
charlie-tcapossible that Ubuntu is over-riding a setting. Check in Menu -> Settings -> Settings Manager, Appearance, Settings tab15:39
charlie-tcaAlso make sure compositing is off in Window Manager Tweaks15:41
charlie-tcasince compiz is installed15:41
LogicallyDashingcharlie-tca, I'm in the Ubuntu desktop right now, and having trouble finding anything15:53
charlie-tcaYou won't find xfce settings in Ubuntu desktop, they will be in the Xubuntu Session16:01
charlie-tcaI don't know if Ubuntu still has those menus, even16:02
LogicallyDashingcharlie-tca, no luck. I'm thinking I might have to purge and reinstall xubuntu.16:03
charlie-tcano luck finding the settings manager, appearance, or what?16:05
LogicallyDashingcharlie-tca, no I went there, but even with compositing entirely disabled, and even with "text and buttons" toolbars enabled, nothing changed16:05
LogicallyDashingno menus in my applications16:05
charlie-tcaThat would be something in Ubuntu overriding it then16:05

Mandrewhello is there any limits on what i can run from gnome/ ubuntu on xubuntu?20:07
Sysiat some point you can't be sure if you should still call it Xubuntu, but everything in software repositories runs on any *buntu20:08
Mandrewcool20:09
Mandrewand so it would be possible to install and run global menus on xubuntu to then?20:10
Mandrewjust checking cuz ive tried before and have failed ;)20:11
Sysiyou'd need to use gnome-panel for it to work properly20:12
Mandrewok is there more things i need?20:12
Sysiit basically should work through xfapplet but it doesn't expand20:12
Mandrewok20:12
Mandrewim thinking of doing something like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch  and take the best things imho from ubuntu, xubuntu and pinguyOS and some other distros and make my own brew20:16
Mandrewjust for the experience and the fun of it :D20:17
Mandrewprobably ill end up failing big time but i still have the experience though20:18

number9Hey I use 11.4 on a 1005PE and can't seem to get my built in SD card reader working. Does any one have any ideas?20:39
number9...bump?...20:41
Mandrewnumber9, did you install the os in the computer with a sd card in the slot? or have you tried to start the machine with a card in the slot?20:54
number9Mandrew: no it wasn't installed with an SD card in the slot. I have started it with one in there and still haven't seen it. Also I heard something about it being about bios settings so I reset those, and still no luck. number9, did you install the os in the computer with a sd card in the slot? or have you tried to start the machine with a card  in the slot?20:56
number9ugh sorry about that accidental paste ignore those last two sentences20:57
Mandrewi had some problems with my sd-card slot on ubuntu 9.04 an then when i installed it with the card in the slot it al worked, but i needed to boot it up with the card in every time though20:59
Mandrewhave you tried the sd-card slot on the live-cd?21:01
number9Mandrew: no I haven't tried it with the livecd21:45
JeZ-l-Leebeen using Xubuntu 11.04 32bit/64bit for about 3 days now and all is going very good - great OS22:08
JeZ-l-LeeI just hope XFCE does not turn into something terrible like Gnome 3 or KDE22:09
nicofsHi there! Can someone tell me how I can install additional themes? According to the theme I found, there should be some sort of "install" button in the Appearance Settings section - but there isn't...22:25
charlie-tcaNebver heard of such a button in Xubuntu, Ubuntu used to have that22:26
sozietyhello can I encryt the system of ubuntu22:26
nicofscharlie-tca, so how would it work without that button...?22:27
charlie-tcaYou would place the theme after unpacking it in /usr/share/themes22:27
charlie-tcaand it will show up in Appearance22:27
charlie-tcaif it is gtk and window manager if it is xfwm22:27
sozietyhello can I encryt the system of xubuntu is it possible?22:35
charlie-tcasure, normally when installing, you use the alternate cd and choose encrypted drive with LVM22:36
charlie-tca!encrypted22:36
ubottuFor information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory22:36
charlie-tcaIt's much harder to encrypt the entire drive after installation22:36
soziety<charlie-tca>, thanks22:38
JeZ-l-LeeI got window titlebars to be transparent, but is there a way to may the transparency fuzzy like Windows(R) Aero effect?22:39
sozietydo you think that it will be better reinstall xubuntu22:41
charlie-tcaHave no idea, JeZ-l-Lee22:41
charlie-tcaHaven't run windows since 3.1, and that was kind of fuzzy22:42
charlie-tcasoziety: if you really need the entire drive encrypted, probably22:42
sozietyok yes I need it22:43
sozietyhome, tmp, swap, root all I can encrypt22:44
charlie-tcaThen you would need to reinstall completely, using the alternate cd instead of the desktop cd22:47
