[01:17] <Derpadong> Anyone alive?
[01:17] <GridCube> !anyone
[01:17] <GridCube> /query anyone
[01:18] <Derpadong> Just asking
[01:18] <Derpadong> Its been dead every time I come in here
[01:18] <Anyone> Oh, hi.
[01:18] <GridCube> XD
[01:18] <Derpadong> Lol
[01:18] <Derpadong> Where is the default themes file?
[01:19] <knome> /usr/share/themes/greybird, if you are using the latest xubuntu
[01:19] <orngjce223> /usr/share/themes/ (stuff) mostly
[01:21] <Derpadong> Thank you.
[01:25] <Guest82019> how do I play WMV files?
[01:25] <GridCube> install gstreamer
[01:25] <Hurray> just google that and install? or how?
[01:26] <GridCube> no use the software center
[01:26] <GridCube> or synaptic
[01:26] <knome> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:26] <GridCube> you dont need google
[01:26] <GridCube> what knome said
[01:28] <Hurray> cool, Im Dling now thanks
[01:29] <Hurray> I'm really new to linux, why do you all use xubuntu?
[01:29] <knome> it's quite light, it's pretty conservative with xfce, and easily configurable
[01:30] <Hurray> what is xfce?
[01:30] <knome> xfce is the desktop environment in xubuntu
[01:30] <Hurray> interesting
[01:31] <Hurray> and do you use this as your main OS?
[01:31] <knome> yes, exclusively
[01:31] <Hurray> cool
[01:31] <Hurray> you ever get a virus?
[01:32] <knome> no, there is pretty much no viruses in linux, and even those will need you to do something sub-optimal, that is, inserting your root/sudo password in a wrong spot
[01:35] <Hurray> is there any way to check your system for viruses?
[01:35] <knome> !info clamav
[01:36] <Hurray> !tahnks for all the info and help
[01:37] <knome> no problem, have fun with xubuntu
[01:38] <Hurray> hhm, when I go to a website....and clcik a wmv link/file it doesn't open, what do I do?
[01:39] <GridCube> it should play using the totem plugin
[01:39] <GridCube> you do need the restricted extras to be installed
[01:39] <knome> or if not, use the mozilla-mplayer package
[01:39] <Hurray> sudo apt-install totem?
[01:40] <GridCube> (as a last option you could try the vlc plugin, but i don't really know if thats a good idea)
[01:40] <GridCube> Hurray, totem should be already installed on your system
[01:41] <Hurray> so how do i make totem work?
[01:41] <GridCube> you just need to end installing the restricted extras as knome said to you earlier
[01:41] <GridCube> open a termina and write:
[01:41] <GridCube> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:42] <GridCube> then put your password
[01:42] <Hurray> I did that
[01:42] <Hurray> installed it
[01:42] <Hurray> agreed to EULA
[01:43] <Hurray> hmm this is the last thing in terminal
[01:43] <Hurray> Setting up icedtea6-plugin (6b21.1~20110420-0ubuntu1.1) ...
[01:43] <Hurray> Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
[01:43] <Hurray> ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[01:43] <knome> Hurray, did you try restarting your browser?
[01:45] <Hurray> yes
[01:48] <Hurray> should i try gstreamer?
[01:49] <Hurray> hmm looks like its already installed
[01:51] <knome> yeah, it should work.
[01:52] <knome> which browser are you using?
[01:52] <Hurray> firfox
[01:53] <knome> i'm out of ideas for now and it's also already 5am... :)
[01:54] <Hurray> thx
[01:54] <Hurray> peace
[01:55] <knome> if you hang out long enough, i'm sure someone who can help you will come online
[01:56] <knome> good luck and have fun
[02:42] <alazare619> i dont have the shared folders icon under system im trying to share a few folders on a smb network any ideas?
[03:10] <Derpadong> How do you add a theme to xfce and use it?
[03:20] <orngjce223> You download the theme folder and stick it in /usr/share/themes
[03:23] <Derpadong> and then?
[03:24] <orngjce223> Then it shows up in Appearance properties and you can add it
[03:24] <orngjce223> the theme has to be properly formed of course
[03:24] <orngjce223> But it works
[03:29] <David-A> orngjce223: alternatively you can place the theme folder in /home/[username]/.themes/ (does not require sysprivileges and remains after a reinstall)
[03:30] <orngjce223> Ah
[03:30] <orngjce223> 's cool
[03:30] <orngjce223> That's where I put it when I didn't have /home/[username] to work with though
[03:30] <David-A> * orngjce223, i mean Derpadong
[03:30] <orngjce223> (which is, making a Remastersys-based distro via /etc/skel)
[03:31] <orngjce223> Heh
[03:31] <orngjce223> 's fine
[03:33] <Derpadong> So which one will show it in themes?
[03:35] <David-A> orngjce223: ok, thats just different ways of maintaining a config over reinstalls. I tend to do have as much adaptions as possible in /home, and let the system be as much distro default as possiple (plus installed packages).
[03:35] <orngjce223> Mmhm
[03:35] <orngjce223> Derpadong, either will work
[03:36] <orngjce223> .themes is if you back up /home, scattering your own files across the filesystem is rather less maintainable but I do it.
[03:48] <JumbiShrimp> Anyone any good at configuring display drivers in xubuntu?
[03:51] <David-A> Used to be, not any more, but shot, whats the problem?
[03:51] <David-A> !ask
[03:53] <JumbiShrimp> I have a Dell inspiron 2600 laptop.. 128 meg of ram and i'm trying to run a low resource intensive GUI. But I cannot get it to display video.. I have tried following instructions that deal with the I810 chipset
[04:00] <David-A> JumbiShrimp: When playing video, do you get a blank window, or an error message? Sound? What instructions did you use? (Web-address?)
[04:03] <JumbiShrimp> David: It will just give me a white screen with no output.. Audio works but i cannot see what i'm doing... http://life-of-brian.com/2009/12/installing-ubuntu-linux-on-a-dell-inspiron-2600/
[04:12] <David-A> Will you get a consol (full screen terminal) if you press Control+Alt+F1? From there you can login and look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log if X had trouble initiating? Especially when loading driver "i810" or "intel". (Just a hunch, I dont really know what the problem is)
[04:20] <JumbiShrimp>  Well it ends in "Fatal server error: no screens found"
[04:23] <David-A> JumbiShrimp: can you find the log lines where it loads drivers (intel or i810) if a driver is missing?
[04:29] <JumbiShrimp> This is what i found "(II) LoadModule: "intel"
[04:29] <JumbiShrimp> (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so
[04:29] <JumbiShrimp> dlopen: libpciaccess.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[04:29] <JumbiShrimp> (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so
[04:29] <JumbiShrimp> (II) UnloadModule: "intel"
[04:29] <JumbiShrimp> "
[04:34] <David-A> for xubuntu 10.04 "intel_drv.so" is in package "xserver-xorg-video-intel", have you installed that package?
[04:36] <JumbiShrimp> Let me download that
[04:38] <David-A> JumbiShrimp: download? no, install! (you know apt-get, synaptic, or software center)
[04:39] <JumbiShrimp> sorry thats what i meant
[04:41] <David-A> David-A: good :)  i'm a bit jumpy, will soon go to sleep
[04:41] <David-A> and talking to my self
[04:41] <David-A> again
[04:46] <JumbiShrimp> lol, well it seems that it has made no differance.. same problem same thing in the log file
[04:52] <JumbiShrimp> Thanks for all the help.. I must be off to bed
[06:16] <Derpadong> Danr you and your theming lol
[06:16] <Derpadong> Darn
[09:07] <ushills> hi how can I change the screesaver that xubuntu uses, I've installed gnome-screensaver but can't see how to activate it
[09:34] <ushills> anyone?
[09:39] <carcinogen75> you must not use gnome utils if you using XFCE
[09:39] <carcinogen75> go to XFCE control panel. there is a screensaver icon
[09:40] <carcinogen75> use it to configure
[09:41] <knome> gone already
[09:41] <carcinogen75> ouh =(
[15:46] <Arpad2> hello
[15:46] <Arpad2> how to set vlc as default music player?
[17:11] <tdignan> So in the regular ubuntu distro, a utility is included that allows you to exceed 100% volume with pulseaudio (increasing the amplitude)
[17:11] <tdignan> but I cannot find that tool in xubuntu.. I don't really care whether I have it, but I need to amplify the volume, it's way too quiet
[17:11] <tdignan> how can I adjust the pulseaudio master above 100%?
[17:14] <charlie-tca> That tool could be installed, but have to find out the name and install it yourself.
[17:14] <charlie-tca> I do not know what it is.
[17:15] <tdignan> yeah, I know how to install packages :( my problem is the same as yours.
[17:15] <tdignan> No idea what it's called.
[17:15] <charlie-tca> Try pavucontrol, but I don't think that is the same tool
[17:16] <tdignan> yeah, I am installing it
[17:16] <tdignan> thanks man.
[17:17] <tdignan> won't let me exceed 100%...
[17:17] <tdignan> hmm
[17:35] <GridCube> tdignan: try the gnome sound thing
[17:56] <tdignan> GridCube: what is it called?
[17:56] <tdignan> I don't want to pull in all of gnome.
[17:56] <tdignan> That's why I'm using xubuntu :/
[17:57] <tdignan> I don't like unity ,or gnome 3.
[17:57] <GridCube> no its the gnome sound configuration
[17:57] <tdignan> well, except for on my netbook ;)
[17:57] <GridCube> i can't recall its name :(
[17:57] <tdignan> i'll check on my netbook later.
[17:58] <orngjce223> The way I would solve that problem is by installing a software amp and then using JACK to send everything through it, but /that/ is not a solution since it requires extensive configuration and real-time kernel.
[17:58] <tdignan> i think i'm going to buy some better headphones/speakers ;)
[17:58] <tdignan> cross-platform solution
[17:58] <orngjce223> Hehe
[17:59] <orngjce223> Yes, or a hardware amp
[17:59] <orngjce223> But again, not a solution since I work with "semi pro" audio and you probably won't
[18:00] <GridCube> tdignan: try gnome-volume-control
[21:30] <philipballew> whats the package i need to uninstall to have my desktop boot into the cli and i login that way and type startx for xface to go to town
[21:34] <charlie-tca> um, probably lightdm
[21:34] <charlie-tca> or gdm
[21:36] <philipballew> alright. seemes easy enough
[21:37] <charlie-tca> good luck with startx, usually with Xfce, you want to use startxfce4 to get all the pieces starting
[21:44] <philipballew> oh, i can type that. haha
[22:42] <charlie-tca> anything, yup
