=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se [00:32] does anybody know if it's safe to install maverick vbox packages by oracle in natty? [00:37] since I use development versions, I always have the previous version of VirtualBox in the release I am using [00:38] It seldom causes issues, and when it does, just remove them [00:39] remove issues? :P [00:39] you make that sound so easy... [00:39] remove vbox, usually a remove, restart, install fixes the issue [00:45] 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 [00:52] 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! [03:52] What's up? [03:53] Hey [03:54] You here to hang out, or for tech support? [03:54] hang out [03:55] i just recently rediscovered the awesomeness of xfce [03:55] epic_geek: This is more of a support channel, but you can hangout with us in #xubuntu-offtopic === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === IdleOne is now known as AcmeOne === AcmeOne is now known as IdleOne [07:39] hello [07:51] 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. [07:52] I checked filesystem and reinstalled xfce and x.org packages, but it didn't help. [07:52] I'm running Xubuntu 10.10 x86_64 [08:06] please help me. [08:51] hello [08:51] do you think it's possible to run the compiz screen magnifier under xubuntu? [08:53] compiz works but you need some tricks to get window borders with it [08:53] Sysi: uhm, like what? [08:54] I don't quite know, gtk-window-decorator may work [08:54] emerald is deprecated and broken [08:54] :/ [08:55] on 11.04 to be exact [08:55] Sysi: what screen magnifier would you recommend for stock xfce then? [08:55] gnome-mag? [08:55] I miss being able to control it via the scrollwheel [08:58] elros: it's installed, but I'm not sure how to launch it... [08:59] my guess is alt-f2 and 'gnome-mag' [09:00] elros: won't work [09:00] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Reviews/gnome-mag [09:00] ok [09:00] looks quite old but maybe it still works.. [09:01] very interesting, thanks [09:01] the review is from 2006 [09:02] OpenOffice 2.0.2 [09:02] hehe [09:03] uhm, gnopernicus is no longer in the repositories [09:03] by the way, is it possible to change the xscreensaver login prompt with something more polished? [09:04] gnopernicus is available in dapper drake, get it while its hot [09:05] elros: err, I believe it's a bit stale by now [09:05] trying my luck with orca [09:16] and it looks like orca definitely won't help me [09:19] cousin_mario what do you need to do [09:20] oh for magnification try compiz [09:30] Fudge: will it work on xfce? [09:30] Fudge: and will it keep working in the next releases? [09:30] if it works on *buntu it should work on any desktop, not sure how long [09:33] hard to say when gnome3 doesn't really support other window managers and unity's gonna change for gtk3 [09:35] :/ [09:36] xmag? [09:37] Sysi: too spartan:/ [09:37] Sysi: I was looking for something that could replace the compiz "left-windows-key and scrollwheel" thingie, without opening any extra window [09:38] magnifiers seem to be quite 00s.. [09:39] Sysi: I know, but tiny fonts and gadgets put a strain on my sight [09:40] set bigger fonts/lower resolution? [09:42] Sysi: I did, but some apps aren't affected by that [09:42] or websites anyway [09:43] ctrl scroll works on browsers [09:47] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1754637 [09:47] if gtk-window-decorator fails [09:47] Sysi: it won't affect the contents rendered by plugins [09:47] like flashplayer [09:48] or when it does, it could destabilise them [09:48] the only way is a screen magnifier of sorts:/ [09:48] 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" [09:49] if it fails, alt+F2 "xfwm4 --replace" [09:50] thanks, trying that now [09:50] kmag is as old as gnome-mag but could work too [09:53] Sysi: great, it worked! [09:54] rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions/ and check "Save session" when you logout/shutdown [09:55] Sysi: good, I'm saving this for 11.10:) [10:12] bbl [10:16] hello [10:17] I can't remove one folder from the Trash even as a root === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [13:41] Howdy! [13:42] How to bind shortcut "Win + D" to "Show desktop" button? [13:43] window manager settings → keyboard-tab, double click on "show desktop" [13:56] Sysi, tnx! === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [15:58] 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. [15:59] ive looked around and this seems to be a bug related to xorg 1.10.0, but i could not find a solution yet [16:02] 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. [16:04] derptart: alt+F2 "xfwm4 --replace" ? [16:06] (xfwm4:2845): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [16:06] is the error that gives me [16:24] Hi Everyone! [16:24] hi [16:25] Trying to convert to and play webM files on my XUbuntu 10.04 system and running into problems.... [16:25] what are webM files? [16:26] the ffmpeg, gstreamer and VLC in the repo's don't do webM media files [16:26] elros: Googles VP8 codec [16:26] elros video files encoded with googles vp8 for video and theora for audio [16:27] ok [16:27] your more likey to hear about it in debates about HTML5 and openweb [16:28] elros: Can you help? [16:28] I have a hunch that handbrake could do it [16:29] Is there a PPA with more up to date ffmpeg, gstreamer and VLC? [16:29] lucidbleed could help [16:29] can't upgrade my system to 10.10 or 11.04, specs dont allow [16:30] elros: luccidbleed? [16:30] but try first handbrake if it could convert webm [16:30] *lucidbleed? [16:30] elros: handbrake works on GNU/Linux? [16:30] https://launchpad.net/~lucid-bleed/+archive/ppa [16:30] elros: thanks!! [16:31] https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases [17:59] guys. [18:00] how would one install Flash Player 10 into Firefox on xubuntu [18:03] have partner repos enabled and install adobe-flashplugin [18:32] 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] it might even be enough to install that extension, so you wouldn't have to install adobe-flashplugin [18:46] Is there any command line tool to get a proper filename extension for a video file that has no filename extension? [18:51] that wont matter [18:52] linux systems do not depend on filenames [18:53] but if you really want to do so, jarnos, http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2007/09/29/short-tip-get-file-extension-in-shell-script/ [19:08] Well that does not give the extension, if it is not in the original filename. [19:11] I need the extension for a hardware video player that does not recoginize file type without an extension. [19:27] jarnos: you might be able to use the output of the "file" command, although it won't give you an extension directly [20:22] Hey all! Could anybody tell me what's minimal system requirements for Xubuntu 11.04? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:28] If I have a Xubuntu disc, is there a file on it somewhere that tells me what version it is? [23:41] Never mind. It's a CD-R/W, so I'll just erase it and try Xubuntu 10.11 [23:48] 10.11? 11.10?
