[00:32] what line do i need to add to sources.list if i want to add xubuntu for armel? [00:34] just the ordinary ubuntu lines or do i need to specify the architecture? [00:44] Hey there fellas [00:44] Is there a list of known issues somewhere? I can't find one === stdin is now known as tsimpson [00:55] i have no apps listed "for purchase" in USC (natty) [01:05] thats good? === nicofs is now known as nicofs-afk [02:03] Ive been using XFCE for at least 3 years now, but after messing around with KDE 4.6, Unity (on ubuntu), and Gnome 3, i have to ask: has the XFCE community seen a huge influx of new users lately? [02:03] I asked this in the xfce channel, but didnt get a response. Im just curious.. [02:12] Well, I've seen more people saying they don't like gnome /or/ kde /or/ unity now so presumably there /should/ be new xfce users [02:13] no clue whether there are though [02:24] orngjce223, yeah.. would seem that way. Figured id ask :) [02:25] Cool. [03:36] I'm trying to set up multi-monitors with xubuntu and it doesn't look like there's a tool here that will. Am I just missing something? All it'll let me do is mirror displays... [03:43] multi monitors depends on your video card unless i am mastaken [03:43] oh... he/she left... [04:10] anyone know a easy why to make a img boot and all in xubuntu [04:10] of a thumdrive [07:19] xubuntu 11.04 has been freezing on me, has anyone else seen this issue? [07:20] How old is the computer? Does it happen to have 8xx video card? [07:21] haha, its a emachine amd athlon with nvidia [07:21] maybe 6 years [07:22] Did you happen to take a look at the logs? dmesg maybe? [07:22] yeah, and nothing good. [07:23] Can't switch to a TTY? Mind pastebin of part of the files? [07:24] well whenever it freezes, my ssh connection times out [07:24] i know that [07:24] Eh, my head is killing me. I'll take your idea for sleep :/ [07:24] do it!!! [08:12] philipballew: /var/log/ should have .1 .2 etc. files from previous boots, anything in them? [12:24] hi [12:25] hello [12:25] my panel disapear [12:25] how can i fix that [12:25] i mean panel with File Edit ... [12:25] of all windows i open [12:25] the menubar? what did you do? [12:26] mm nothing just restart [12:26] is this on all applications, or just one? [12:27] all of them [12:27] if you press alt and space does anything happen? [12:28] yes [12:29] but the menu bar still missing [12:32] have you installed any new programs or updates recently? [12:33] google earth [12:33] for updates i dont know [12:34] in the new version of ubuntu, which uses the unity desktop, the menu bar has been removed and integrated into the top panel [12:34] not ubuntu xfce [12:35] if i write in terminal [12:35] that's right, the xfce desktop from xubuntu still has menu bars [12:35] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [12:35] how did you install xubuntu? [12:36] from disk... [12:37] you didn't install ubuntu first then? [12:37] just trying to establish if you could have some ubuntu unity packages installed somehow... [16:29] how to get mouse cursor themes working on x64? [16:31] cursor themes? [16:31] never heard that one [16:31] :/ [16:31] !cursors [16:32] !xfce-themes [16:32] Themes for Xfce4 are simply GTK2+ themes which means Gnome themes are also compatible with your xfce4 desktop. To install themes, unpack it in ~/.themes/ To install icons, unpack them to ~/.icons/ - Visit http://www.xfce-look.org/ for all kinds of eyecandy for your Xfce4 desktop! - See also !themes for other GNOME theme sites [16:33] i guess, that if a theme has cursors placing them on ~/.themes/ should do the trick [16:34] actually ~/.icons/ [16:34] oh [16:34] iirc [16:34] well never did that so i dont really know [16:34] put the folder extracted from tarball there [16:35] !behelpfull | GridCube [16:35] or use some from repositories [16:36] if it's not used even after relogin, copy theme to /usr/share/icons/ and edit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme [16:44] The flash plugin is using very large amounts of CPU and sometimes hanging my browser. [16:44] Same with chrome, and firefox. I've used ubuntu on this system, and other distros, and windows, and didn't have this issue. [16:45] I'm certain it's not a hardware issue, but a software one. [16:45] Where do I file a bug? [16:50] tdignan, write >ubuntu-bug flashplugin [16:50] i gues you should file it against that [16:50] oh, awesome [16:50] or maybe >ubuntu-bug flashplugin-nonfree [16:51] i guess the first one will be ennough [16:51] nah the latter is required [16:51] i just forgot that ubuntu-bug is used [16:51] i was crusing around launchpad aimlessly [16:52] oddly same problem happens with gnash. [16:52] you write the line on a terminal or alt-f2 and then log into launchpad [16:52] i think you can use several things after ubuntu-bug [16:52] ubuntu-bug flashplugin gnash other [16:59] thanks GridCube [18:07] I just installed xubuntu 11.04 from the x84 live cd on another computer, and I can't find how to connect to the Internet. Where is the network management program? [18:08] what kind of internet connection? [18:08] WirWireless through a Linksys USB dongle. [18:09] When I log in, a notification pops up saying 'click here to connect' but when I click, nothing happens. [18:12] I can't find anything under the XFCE menu, and while I know it's possible to set something up using iwconfig, I would rather not do that. [18:13] Boom_Farmer, >alt-f2 >nm-connection-editor [18:13] Oooo [18:13] Thank you very much [18:13] :) [18:14] Note to self: Typing on laptop keyboard does not enter text on tower. [18:14] hahaha [18:15] there's icon in upper right corner for networkmanager [18:16] There isn't. [18:18] Thank you all. [18:18] * Boom_Farmer exits in this direction. [19:44] hey, whenever i try to restart or shutdown my desktop, it hangs on the xubuntu screen ans just sits there for several minuter untill i have to manually turn it off. [19:45] philipballew: try to jump onto a terminal [19:45] ctrl+alt+f(x) [19:45] and check whats going on [20:09] madnick, alright, sorry that took a bit, had to do somethin. so i press ctrl+alt+f(x) when? [21:26] could someone help me adjust the screen brightness on my netbook while on battery power? [21:26] woohoo my old problem about mouse is finally solved seem to be release problem with x64 [21:27] tye update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme with sudo :) [21:28] I used nano.. [21:30] little deeper heh [21:31] I found that instruction first and it worked (and seems a little simpler) [23:33] hi all, first time xubuntu user, just checking in [23:34] dodgefan67, welcome! [23:34] is there a way to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 alpha 2? [23:40] yes there is, but what makes you want to dodgefan67 ? [23:41] dodgefan67, if it's a production machine, or if you need to use it for whatever else reason, don't upgrade to an alpha release. [23:42] well just didnt want to burn another iso and start over [23:42] its my home pc and so no worries there [23:43] why would you need to start over? is there something wrong with 11.04? [23:43] no i meant burn another iso and redo a clean install [23:43] you can upgrade in October when it is ofically released? [23:43] true, but i like living on the edge a bit [23:43] try 11.10 in a virtualbox and use it there maybe [23:44] dodgefan67, i can't suggest trying 11.10 even if you want to live on the edge, but if you must... [23:44] dodgefan67, try 'sudo update-manager -d' [23:45] and please remember, there is no support for 11.10 yet. [23:45] dont get mad if you have to reinstall 11.1o [23:45] *0 [23:46] or 11.04 :) [23:46] thats what i ment :) i would recomend duel booting or a v-box [23:46] i have .10 on a v-box [23:47] vbox is the way best way to test. [23:48] dodgefan67, also, if you want to help with the (daily) testing of 11.10, join the development channel #xubuntu-devel and poke charlie-tca when he's online :) [23:48] yeah, if your gonna be in the upstream might as well help out [23:49] well thats true. i guess it is a bit different than running a rolling release type distro like arch [23:50] true, arch is just always slightly unstable where alpha 2 is unstable [23:50] but its getting there! [23:50] well in my experance with arch [23:53] yeah arch can be that way sometimes, you really have to keep up with it for sure [23:55] dodgefan67, in what way? [23:56] it can be unstable in that some changes they have made, if you arent careful or pay attention can mess your system up [23:57] sorry, not that it crashes just that you can screw your system up easier with arch if dont pay attention [23:58] never used arch. might try it [23:59] it has a great wiki and forum, read up first, you basically build your own system with it
