| knome | does anybody know if it's safe to install maverick vbox packages by oracle in natty? | 00:32 |
|---|---|---|
| charlie-tca | since I use development versions, I always have the previous version of VirtualBox in the release I am using | 00:37 |
| charlie-tca | It seldom causes issues, and when it does, just remove them | 00:38 |
| knome | remove issues? :P | 00:39 |
| knome | you make that sound so easy... | 00:39 |
| charlie-tca | remove vbox, usually a remove, restart, install fixes the issue | 00:39 |
| knome | sounds like i'm not going to update, since there aren't really any bugs that i haven't been able to workaround, or otherwise affect me | 00:45 |
| gNewPower | Hi friends. I am running Xubuntu 11.04. Each time I try to unmount a flashstick I get what looks like a kernel crash. Is this a known issue? thanks! | 00:52 |

| epic_geek | i just recently rediscovered the awesomeness of xfce | 03:55 |

| chain__ | hello | 07:39 |
| chain__ | I can't get my system to start up, base system runs, so do X, but after logging in I'm getting some errors in .xsession-errors (most notably repeating "Failed to load x11 FrontEnd module") and nothing but the wallpaper loads. | 07:51 |
| chain__ | I checked filesystem and reinstalled xfce and x.org packages, but it didn't help. | 07:52 |
| chain__ | I'm running Xubuntu 10.10 x86_64 | 07:52 |
| chain__ | please help me. | 08:06 |
| cousin_mario | hello | 08:51 |
| cousin_mario | do you think it's possible to run the compiz screen magnifier under xubuntu? | 08:51 |
| Sysi | compiz works but you need some tricks to get window borders with it | 08:53 |
| cousin_mario | Sysi: uhm, like what? | 08:53 |
| Sysi | I don't quite know, gtk-window-decorator may work | 08:54 |
| Sysi | emerald is deprecated and broken | 08:54 |
| cousin_mario | :/ | 08:54 |
| Sysi | on 11.04 to be exact | 08:55 |
| cousin_mario | Sysi: what screen magnifier would you recommend for stock xfce then? | 08:55 |
| elros | gnome-mag? | 08:55 |
| cousin_mario | I miss being able to control it via the scrollwheel | 08:55 |
| cousin_mario | elros: it's installed, but I'm not sure how to launch it... | 08:58 |
| elros | my guess is alt-f2 and 'gnome-mag' | 08:59 |
| cousin_mario | elros: won't work | 09:00 |
| Sysi | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Reviews/gnome-mag | 09:00 |
| elros | ok | 09:00 |
| Sysi | looks quite old but maybe it still works.. | 09:00 |
| cousin_mario | very interesting, thanks | 09:01 |
| elros | the review is from 2006 | 09:01 |
| elros | OpenOffice 2.0.2 | 09:02 |
| cousin_mario | hehe | 09:02 |
| cousin_mario | uhm, gnopernicus is no longer in the repositories | 09:03 |
| cousin_mario | by the way, is it possible to change the xscreensaver login prompt with something more polished? | 09:03 |
| elros | gnopernicus is available in dapper drake, get it while its hot | 09:04 |
| cousin_mario | elros: err, I believe it's a bit stale by now | 09:05 |
| cousin_mario | trying my luck with orca | 09:05 |
| cousin_mario | and it looks like orca definitely won't help me | 09:16 |
| Fudge | cousin_mario what do you need to do | 09:19 |
| Fudge | oh for magnification try compiz | 09:20 |
| cousin_mario | Fudge: will it work on xfce? | 09:30 |
| cousin_mario | Fudge: and will it keep working in the next releases? | 09:30 |
| Sysi | if it works on *buntu it should work on any desktop, not sure how long | 09:30 |
| Sysi | hard to say when gnome3 doesn't really support other window managers and unity's gonna change for gtk3 | 09:33 |
| cousin_mario | :/ | 09:35 |
| Sysi | xmag? | 09:36 |
| cousin_mario | Sysi: too spartan:/ | 09:37 |
| cousin_mario | Sysi: I was looking for something that could replace the compiz "left-windows-key and scrollwheel" thingie, without opening any extra window | 09:37 |
| Sysi | magnifiers seem to be quite 00s.. | 09:38 |
| cousin_mario | Sysi: I know, but tiny fonts and gadgets put a strain on my sight | 09:39 |
| Sysi | set bigger fonts/lower resolution? | 09:40 |
| cousin_mario | Sysi: I did, but some apps aren't affected by that | 09:42 |
| cousin_mario | or websites anyway | 09:42 |
| Sysi | ctrl scroll works on browsers | 09:43 |
| Sysi | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1754637 | 09:47 |
| Sysi | if gtk-window-decorator fails | 09:47 |
| cousin_mario | Sysi: it won't affect the contents rendered by plugins | 09:47 |
| cousin_mario | like flashplayer | 09:47 |
| cousin_mario | or when it does, it could destabilise them | 09:48 |
| cousin_mario | the only way is a screen magnifier of sorts:/ | 09:48 |
| Sysi | you could first check that; install compiz and ccsm, set it to use gtk-window-decorator (see if you need to install that separately) ans then alt+F2 "compiz --replace" | 09:48 |
| Sysi | if it fails, alt+F2 "xfwm4 --replace" | 09:49 |
| cousin_mario | thanks, trying that now | 09:50 |
| Sysi | kmag is as old as gnome-mag but could work too | 09:50 |
| cousin_mario | Sysi: great, it worked! | 09:53 |
| Sysi | rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions/ and check "Save session" when you logout/shutdown | 09:54 |
| cousin_mario | Sysi: good, I'm saving this for 11.10:) | 09:55 |

| derptart | Xfce is not working properly. Logfile here http://pastebin.com/EF8nm3NB. Symptoms, no transparency/compositing on bottom dock and no window borders or edges on windows. All terminal Emulators are unresponsive also. | 15:58 |
| derptart | ive looked around and this seems to be a bug related to xorg 1.10.0, but i could not find a solution yet | 15:59 |
| derptart | It started yesterday after I unpacked and played redeclipse using the binary located inside redeclipse_1.0_linux.tar.bz2 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/redeclipse_1.0/) so I assume it is related. | 16:02 |
| Sysi | derptart: alt+F2 "xfwm4 --replace" ? | 16:04 |
| derptart | (xfwm4:2845): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: | 16:06 |
| derptart | is the error that gives me | 16:06 |
| eebrah | Hi Everyone! | 16:24 |
| elros | hi | 16:24 |
| eebrah | Trying to convert to and play webM files on my XUbuntu 10.04 system and running into problems.... | 16:25 |
| elros | what are webM files? | 16:25 |
| eebrah | the ffmpeg, gstreamer and VLC in the repo's don't do webM media files | 16:26 |
| eebrah | elros: Googles VP8 codec | 16:26 |
| eebrah | elros video files encoded with googles vp8 for video and theora for audio | 16:26 |
| elros | ok | 16:27 |
| eebrah | your more likey to hear about it in debates about HTML5 and openweb | 16:27 |
| eebrah | elros: Can you help? | 16:28 |
| elros | I have a hunch that handbrake could do it | 16:28 |
| eebrah | Is there a PPA with more up to date ffmpeg, gstreamer and VLC? | 16:29 |
| elros | lucidbleed could help | 16:29 |
| eebrah | can't upgrade my system to 10.10 or 11.04, specs dont allow | 16:29 |
| eebrah | elros: luccidbleed? | 16:30 |
| elros | but try first handbrake if it could convert webm | 16:30 |
| eebrah | *lucidbleed? | 16:30 |
| eebrah | elros: handbrake works on GNU/Linux? | 16:30 |
| elros | https://launchpad.net/~lucid-bleed/+archive/ppa | 16:30 |
| eebrah | elros: thanks!! | 16:30 |

| rbaker | guys. | 17:59 |
| rbaker | how would one install Flash Player 10 into Firefox on xubuntu | 18:00 |
| elros | have partner repos enabled and install adobe-flashplugin | 18:03 |
| Chainer | I also got an extension for firefox called "flash-aid", which fixed some issues i was having with adobe flash player... in case you have issues with it too | 18:32 |
| Chainer | it might even be enough to install that extension, so you wouldn't have to install adobe-flashplugin | 18:32 |
| jarnos | Is there any command line tool to get a proper filename extension for a video file that has no filename extension? | 18:46 |
| GridCube | that wont matter | 18:51 |
| GridCube | linux systems do not depend on filenames | 18:52 |
| GridCube | but if you really want to do so, jarnos, http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2007/09/29/short-tip-get-file-extension-in-shell-script/ | 18:53 |
| jarnos | Well that does not give the extension, if it is not in the original filename. | 19:08 |
| jarnos | I need the extension for a hardware video player that does not recoginize file type without an extension. | 19:11 |
| jcfp | jarnos: you might be able to use the output of the "file" command, although it won't give you an extension directly | 19:27 |

| ball | If I have a Xubuntu disc, is there a file on it somewhere that tells me what version it is? | 23:28 |
| ball | Never mind. It's a CD-R/W, so I'll just erase it and try Xubuntu 10.11 | 23:41 |
| Unit193 | 10.11? 11.10? | 23:48 |
