[06:58] <Guest83108> anyone here ?
[09:52] <alberto> hello!
[09:53] <alberto> new to xubuntu I'm trying to get help on encrypting files and setting up a home network
[09:54] <alberto> I can't find in google what I'm looking for
[09:55] <alberto> I've managed to decrypt files with the contextual menu, but not the the way round
[09:55] <alberto> I've managed to decrypt files with the contextual menu, but not the other way round
[09:55] <alberto> is there an easy tool encrypt/decrypt files?
[09:59] <cwickert> I read that xubuntu 11.10 is going to replace file-roller with xarchiver. do you think this is a wise decision given that xarchiver is effectively unmaintained for years now?
[12:42] <charlie-tca> cwickert: If we have to pull in all of Gnome vs unmaintained, yes,
[12:42] <charlie-tca> we would consider all of Gnome the greater evil
[12:43] <charlie-tca> cwickert: however, that decision probably will be reverted before Xubuntu 11.10 releases in October
[14:33] <Besogon> I feel I need xubuntu but does anybody know if it's possible to upgrade from ubuntu to xubuntu?
[14:35] <charlie-tca> yes, it is
[14:35] <charlie-tca> you can open a terminal and install it
[14:35] <Besogon> How to do that?
[14:35] <charlie-tca> using "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"
[14:36] <charlie-tca> it will install as a separate session, which you choose at login.
[14:36] <Besogon> No. I'll get a lot of litter from gnome
[14:36] <charlie-tca> yup
[14:36] <charlie-tca> Then it is fresh install, I guess
[14:37] <xGrind> Besogon; http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce
[14:38] <Besogon> xGrind: Thank you
[14:38] <Besogon> :D
[14:38] <xGrind> xD~
[14:41]  * Besogon is conjuring: "Abra cadabra!!!!" <Help me God not to break my computer>
[14:46] <Besogon> it's going
[14:47] <Besogon> OMG!!! Isuppose Idelete evolution! NO!!!!
[14:52] <charlie-tca> Okay
[14:52] <charlie-tca> keep it if you want
[14:53] <charlie-tca> but if you delete what it needs, it will break anyway
[15:39] <planter> how do i copy a file in terminal with showing the file transfer speed?
[15:43] <ball> plantoschka: dd ?
[15:43]  * ball tries it
[15:45] <plantoschka> dd?
[15:45] <ball> dd if=TEST of=TEST2
[15:45] <ball> I used bs=32768, but that's because I happened to know the file was an even multiple of that block size
[15:45] <plantoschka> ??? i just want to copy a file from one destination to another
[15:45] <plantoschka> cp
[15:46] <ball> plantoschka: dd can do the same thing, but reports the achieved speed.
[15:46] <plantoschka> ok
[15:46] <plantoschka> will have a look at it later thanks
[16:04] <free99> hello everyone, I'm running xubuntu 11.04 on my HP 2710p tablet pc. Since having left version 10.04, I've had a problem in 10.10 and now 11.04 that won't go away. Every time I first boot my machine, my tablet works fine, the mouse follows the pen. But when I suspend and then resume, the wacom device is still listed in xinput --list, but it stops working
[16:05] <free99> any ideas on how to fix it? I have a suspicion the problem is related to x/inputhotplug somehow
[16:14] <free99> well.. thanks anyhow, got pointed over here if anyone's curious: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1686278.html
[20:10] <cousin_mario> hello
[20:11] <cousin_mario> Can you increase the fontsize in the terminal via a key combination?
[22:42] <gNewPower> Hi friends! I have installed all the XFCE/Xubuntu files from the repos and I am now running Xubuntu.  One thing bugs me - Nautilus still pop-up from time time and tries to run the desktop.  How can I stop nautilus from running? thanks!
[22:43] <charlie-tca> remove it and install thunar
[22:43] <gNewPower> I already have thunar. but I would like to keep nautilus with the --no-desktop flag just for the case when I need a tabbed browser or the nautilus scripts
[22:44] <charlie-tca> Then nautilus will still do what it is, since it takes over
[22:44] <gNewPower> why does it "take over"?
[22:45] <charlie-tca> Because that's the way they wrote it?
[22:46] <gNewPower> "they" wrote it to take over an XFCE-managed  session?!
[22:48] <charlie-tca> Gnome applications are designed to be the default when you install Ubuntu. If you then install xfce, gnome apps are still the default applications
[22:49] <charlie-tca> By removing those gnome default apps, Xfce apps are allowed to become the default applications.
[22:51] <gNewPower> are there more GNOME applications doing that besides nautilus?
[22:52] <charlie-tca> yes
[22:52] <gNewPower> oh man, so what did you uninstall, all of GNOME?
[22:54] <charlie-tca> I never installed it
[22:54] <charlie-tca> I installed Xubuntu, since I did not want Ubuntu
[22:54] <charlie-tca> But, yes, that would be another way to do it
[22:55] <charlie-tca> !purexfce
[22:55] <gNewPower> ok, I understand that.  I used to like Ubuntu until everybody at Canonical went crazy and they started that Unity shit
[22:55] <charlie-tca> That would help remove them
[22:55] <charlie-tca> choices
[22:56] <charlie-tca> If you want Gnome applications over Xfce applications, you put up with gnome idiosyncracies
[22:56] <gNewPower> there must be tens of thousands of former Ubuntu users like me how are running from Unity and finding a harbor of sanity in Xubuntu right now, lol!
[22:57] <gNewPower> I betcha the Xubuntu user base is just exploding
[22:57] <charlie-tca> There are still millions who use Unity, too. It is not that bad
[22:58] <gNewPower> it is absolutely horrible, an total abomination, IMHO, and the worst thing is the underlying mindset: we will tell you what is best for you.
[22:58] <gNewPower> Apple-wananbes
[22:58] <gNewPower> I think that Ubuntu has committed suicide with Unity
[22:58] <gNewPower> all my friends are running to Xubuntu or even Debian
[22:58] <knome> gNewPower, please, even if this is the xubuntu channel, please don't attack ubuntu/unity
[22:59] <gNewPower> gNewPower, ok.
[22:59] <charlie-tca> Every one has an opinion. This is not the place for them, though.
[22:59] <gNewPower> knome, ok, I mean
[22:59] <gNewPower> ok
[22:59] <gNewPower> sorry
[22:59] <gNewPower> thanks for the pointers guys :-)
[22:59] <knome> gNewPower, i also don't want to hear "suicide" "shit" or other language repeatedly here
[22:59] <knome> thanks :)
[22:59]  * gNewPower is off his soap-box
[23:00] <gNewPower> my apologies. thanks!
[23:32] <JeZ-l-Lee> anyone know how to add a "Recent Documents" list to Xubuntu Start menu?
[23:34] <JeZ-l-Lee> nevermind, I found it
[23:34] <JeZ-l-Lee> "Places" applet does it
