[00:00] i don't have the file /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop [00:07] sorry, I've been using Xubuntu 11.04 for 2 days now - don't know [00:07] someone please help maxtor! [00:10] Googling might have the answer [00:12] http://tuxicity.wordpress.com/2007/03/02/some-gdm-basics-for-ubuntu-and-xubuntu-theming-and-auto-login/ [00:13] that might help [00:57] Xubuntu is my nominee for best OS [00:57] JeZ-l-Lee_, if you have a blog, write about that and paste the article link in the channel [00:57] I've been Windows(R) free for about 3 years [00:59] <- since nov 2006 [00:59] I still run XP in a virtual machine, but only to test the video games I make [00:59] mmh, i also have to run XP in vbox to use photoshop for my work [01:00] and i like testing websites with IE there rather than under wine [01:01] Windows(R) is pretty awful, but XP sucked the least [01:01] imo windows 2000 was definitely the best, but photoshop cs2 refused to work with that, so i needed XP [01:02] now that i think it, i think i have win 2k installed as dualboot here in my laptop [01:02] can't remember when i used it the last time, though [01:03] I have an old test computer and it boots 6 OS's [01:03] i'm trying to cut down to as few machines as possible [01:03] XP/Vista/7/Ubuntu/openSUSE/Fedora [01:04] i only have one extra machine, and i'm planning to turn that into a gaming PC once i decide to replace the broken PSU [01:04] (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] But you can game on your Linux with Wine ? [01:04] sure, but the idea would be to connect that to our TV [01:05] and i don't really play much PC games [01:05] openttd++, and that works natively in linux ;) [01:05] then some other games in the same genre, rollercoaster tycoon and such [01:05] most those work under wine as well [01:05] I buy games using STEAM client [01:05] but a few won't [01:05] have about 100+ Steam games [01:06] it's been quite a few years since i really played a lot [01:06] well, with PS3 a bit more, but if i didn't have this, i wouldn't use the same time in playing with PC [01:07] You can install Xubuntu onto the PS3 ? [01:07] no, i'm running the official system [01:08] they actually removed the possibility to install linux into a PS3 [01:08] (without jailbreaking) [01:08] that is unfortunate [01:09] I've just got a Nintendo Wii - will Wii run Linux? [01:09] kind of, but i have no desires of installing linux to the PS3, actually [01:09] i don't know, probably best to google [01:11] lol nerds [01:11] I'm gonna linux my microwave tonight [01:12] Phosphenes, why not? a friend once made a HTTP-controllable coffee maker [01:12] Legit? [01:12] there is even a RFC for that, iirc [01:12] sure! [01:12] That's great [01:12] http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2324.html [01:12] there you go [01:13] LOL [01:13] I'm gonna make me one of there. [01:13] these* [01:13] great! ;) [01:14] isn't internet great? 99.99% of the ideas you come up with have already been thought AND executed [01:15] they saved you from a lot of thinking with HTCPCP [01:15] coolest thing I saw was a port of Doom on a TI-85 calculator [01:16] I saw that [01:17] www.16BitSoft.com <-Shameless plug [01:17] http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/david_merrill_demos_siftables_the_smart_blocks.html [01:17] JeZ-l-Lee_, please don't advertise... :) [01:17] knome - you are graphic artist? [01:17] JeZ-l-Lee_, mmh, one could say so :) [01:18] you have an Internet web site or portfolio of your work? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:19] How can I check if I'm using BIOS or EFI grub? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [10:35] what package will install the xubuntu-desktop? [10:35] xubuntu-desktop [10:36] it doesn't exist in the normal ubuntu repo? [10:36] it does [10:36] !info xubuntu-desktop [10:36] xubuntu-desktop (source: xubuntu-meta): Xubuntu desktop system. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.128 (natty), package size 3 kB, installed size 48 kB [10:36] i did a apt-cache search xubuntu => "" [10:37] !sources [10:37] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[10:53] see yas! [10:54] why Input Method Off ? (( [10:54] can't change input language [11:41] hey. [11:42] i updated yesterday xorg-video-input-all which came in as an update ~5 days ago. [11:42] now video playing mplayer/vlc etc makes vertical flickering and my fonts look pretty washy/washed out. [11:42] any suggestions? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [14:10] hello, I am in xubuntu 10.04, when I connect to my vpn don't alert with popup (vpn conection stablished) I'd like add a code with this function in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d any idea (sorry my english) [14:10] sorry [14:10] hello, I am in xubuntu 10.04, when I connect to my vpn don't alert with popup (vpn conection stablished) I'd like add a code with this function in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d any idea (sorry my english) [14:15] any idea for solution for this bug?

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] This only happens in Xubuntu though, if I log into a vanilla Ubuntu session there's no issue. [15:15] Or, well... an Ubuntu Classic session. [15:15] Not sure about Unity. [15:38] LogicallyDashing: what version of Xubuntu? [15:38] charlie-tca, 11.04 [15:38] Did you install Xubuntu or xfce only to Ubuntu? [15:39] charlie-tca, first I installed xubuntu from the alternate installation cd, then I installed ubuntu-desktop [15:39] possible that Ubuntu is over-riding a setting. Check in Menu -> Settings -> Settings Manager, Appearance, Settings tab [15:41] Also make sure compositing is off in Window Manager Tweaks [15:41] since compiz is installed [15:53] charlie-tca, I'm in the Ubuntu desktop right now, and having trouble finding anything [16:01] You won't find xfce settings in Ubuntu desktop, they will be in the Xubuntu Session [16:02] I don't know if Ubuntu still has those menus, even [16:03] charlie-tca, no luck. I'm thinking I might have to purge and reinstall xubuntu. [16:05] no luck finding the settings manager, appearance, or what? [16:05] charlie-tca, no I went there, but even with compositing entirely disabled, and even with "text and buttons" toolbars enabled, nothing changed [16:05] no menus in my applications [16:05] That would be something in Ubuntu overriding it then === pleia2_ is now known as pleia2 [17:51] hello, there are a bug notification bubble does not appear when VPN connection is established [18:06] !bugs | soziety [18:06] soziety: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [18:09] notification bubble does not appear when VPN connection is established in xubuntu 10.04, where I found this code plz? [18:10] bug against whatever vpn server or client you are using [18:11] network manager [18:12] then ubuntu-bug network-manager [18:12] ah ok [18:15] when I connect to my router the notification bubble is fine [18:15] the problem is only when I connect my vpn [18:16] I think that I can solve it but I don't find this part of code [20:07] hello is there any limits on what i can run from gnome/ ubuntu on xubuntu? [20:08] at some point you can't be sure if you should still call it Xubuntu, but everything in software repositories runs on any *buntu [20:09] cool [20:10] and so it would be possible to install and run global menus on xubuntu to then? [20:11] just checking cuz ive tried before and have failed ;) [20:12] you'd need to use gnome-panel for it to work properly [20:12] ok is there more things i need? [20:12] it basically should work through xfapplet but it doesn't expand [20:12] ok [20:16] im 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 brew [20:17] just for the experience and the fun of it :D [20:18] probably ill end up failing big time but i still have the experience though === joel is now known as Guest37145 [20:39] Hey 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? [20:41] ...bump?... [20:54] 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] Mandrew: 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? [20:57] ugh sorry about that accidental paste ignore those last two sentences [20:59] i 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 though [21:01] have you tried the sd-card slot on the live-cd? [21:45] Mandrew: no I haven't tried it with the livecd [22:08] been using Xubuntu 11.04 32bit/64bit for about 3 days now and all is going very good - great OS [22:09] I just hope XFCE does not turn into something terrible like Gnome 3 or KDE [22:25] Hi 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... [22:26] Nebver heard of such a button in Xubuntu, Ubuntu used to have that [22:26] hello can I encryt the system of ubuntu [22:27] charlie-tca, so how would it work without that button...? [22:27] You would place the theme after unpacking it in /usr/share/themes [22:27] and it will show up in Appearance [22:27] if it is gtk and window manager if it is xfwm [22:35] hello can I encryt the system of xubuntu is it possible? [22:36] sure, normally when installing, you use the alternate cd and choose encrypted drive with LVM [22:36] !encrypted [22:36] For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [22:36] It's much harder to encrypt the entire drive after installation [22:38]

, thanks [22:39] I got window titlebars to be transparent, but is there a way to may the transparency fuzzy like Windows(R) Aero effect? [22:41] do you think that it will be better reinstall xubuntu [22:41] Have no idea, JeZ-l-Lee [22:42] Haven't run windows since 3.1, and that was kind of fuzzy [22:42] soziety: if you really need the entire drive encrypted, probably [22:43] ok yes I need it [22:44] home, tmp, swap, root all I can encrypt [22:47] Then you would need to reinstall completely, using the alternate cd instead of the desktop cd
