| raginkestrel | How do you adjust the screen brightness in xfce? Normally I would do this with the function buttons, but they don't work now that I have installed Xubuntu. | 00:34 |
|---|---|---|
| Sysi | have they worked with other linux OS? | 00:41 |
| Sysi | you also shouldn't cross-post | 00:41 |
| raginkestrel | I have only installed Xubuntu on this laptop. | 00:47 |
| raginkestrel | It had Win XP before. | 00:47 |

| arpad2 | hello | 09:05 |
| arpad2 | I'm trying to connect a second hard drive to the pc, however while its detected by the BIOS its not by xubuntu. any ideas? thank you! | 09:06 |
| well_laid_lawn | arpad2: does it show in sudo fdisk -l ? | 09:07 |
| arpad2 | well_laid_lawn: no, it doesn't | 09:08 |
| well_laid_lawn | arpad2: is there a filesystem on it yet? | 09:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | it still should show up in fdisk tho | 09:12 |
| arpad2 | yes, 11.04 is installed on it on another pc which motherbroard is defected | 09:13 |
| well_laid_lawn | arpad2: is it an ide hdd? is it set to be master? | 09:15 |
| arpad2 | well_laid_lawn: I'm not sure about the type. | 09:16 |
| arpad2 | but its an older hdd | 09:16 |
| arpad2 | WD 400gb | 09:17 |
| well_laid_lawn | arpad2: does it have a wide ribbon cable? | 09:18 |
| well_laid_lawn | if so that's a pata/ide drive so you might need to move the jumper to make it a slave drive not a master drive | 09:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | western digital normally have that marked on the drive | 09:19 |
| arpad2 | the os starts from the master drive? | 09:22 |
| arpad2 | so, I have to change the jumper to slave... | 09:22 |
| arpad2 | how I do that? | 09:24 |

| Mandrew | hello the screenshot tool that is preinstalled can by looking at these pic host pic on the net, but i dont have that on my version. how do i fix that? http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/xfce4-screenshooter | 14:04 |
| xrdodrx | Mandrew, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 14:26 |
| xrdodrx | xubuntu* | 14:26 |
| xrdodrx | To be honest, for me it's not really worth it. I've tried to use the service "ZimageZ" included in the screenshotting application and I've found it to be pretty useless | 14:27 |
| xrdodrx | It uploads them as low quality jpegs, requires an account and doesn't allow linking directly to the file | 14:28 |
| xrdodrx | I just use a bash script I found to upload directly to imgur | 14:28 |
| Mandrew | hello the screenshot tool that is preinstalled can by looking at these pic host pic on the net, but i dont have that on my version. how do i fix that? http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/xfce4-screenshooter11.04 version | 14:28 |
| Mandrew | 11.04 version | 14:28 |
| Mandrew | ok | 14:29 |
| xrdodrx | Mandrew, it is pretty weird that you don't have it in your version | 14:30 |
| xrdodrx | is the package `xfce4-screenshooter' up to date? | 14:30 |
| Mandrew | its the 1.7.9 version | 14:30 |
| xrdodrx | Mandrew, does `apt-cache showpkg xfce4-screenshooter' return something like `1.7.9-1ubuntu3 (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_binary-i386_Packages) (/var/lib/dpkg/status)'? | 14:32 |
| xrdodrx | better yet | 14:34 |
| xrdodrx | take a screenshot of the screenshot dialog that comes up :) | 14:35 |
| Mandrew | http://paste.ubuntu.com/655681/ | 14:35 |
| Mandrew | ok problem solved, im just to stupid to actually taking a screenshot and getting the window with that option of uploading :S | 14:39 |
| Mandrew | it was there all along :( | 14:39 |
| xrdodrx | oh, well, you're welcome I guess :) | 14:39 |

| Speedfx | Is there any way to use the xubuntu alternate version with wubi? | 16:51 |
| Mandrew | Speedfx, isnt that described on the alternate download page? | 16:56 |
| average_guy | How do I downgrade my browser to firefox 3 or 4? | 18:52 |
| orngjce223 | I think there's a way with dpkg pinning something, but you might get into real dependency trouble there, so... | 19:04 |
| average_guy | ok. thx ne way | 19:06 |

| MathiasR1 | Good Day, All! | 20:50 |
| Mandrew | hiya | 20:51 |
| Mandrew | hi charlie-tca how is it swinging | 20:51 |
| charlie-tca | still going | 20:52 |
| Mandrew | nice | 20:52 |
| dscorzoni | Mandrew, hi man! | 20:52 |
| Mandrew | hi dscorzoni | 20:52 |
| dscorzoni | I'm new here in the channel... | 20:52 |
| Mandrew | charlie-tca, do you have the time to help me? | 20:53 |
| Mandrew | cool welcome | 20:53 |
| dscorzoni | thanks! | 20:53 |
| charlie-tca | help with? | 20:54 |
| Mandrew | http://paste.ubuntu.com/655863/ | 20:54 |
| charlie-tca | Usually it is best to go ahead and ask the question, if anyone knows, they can answer. | 20:54 |
| Mandrew | i posted this 6 hous ago :) | 20:54 |
| charlie-tca | I am not sure super is valid. To add shortcuts, you go to Settings -> Settings Manager -> Keyboard, shortcuts tab | 20:55 |
| charlie-tca | click add, type the command, then hit the keys you plan to use | 20:56 |
| charlie-tca | But "super" is a special key, and not all keyboard layouts recognize it | 20:56 |
| Mandrew | yes i tried to do that but it refused to let me add a shortcut | 20:56 |
| Mandrew | ok | 20:56 |
| Mandrew | aaah well not super important, but i would have been pretty nice to add shortcuts | 20:59 |
| Mandrew | tnx charlie-tca anyway | 21:00 |
| charlie-tca | no problem. I seem to be at zero for helpfulness today | 21:00 |
| Mandrew | your doing a good job ;) keep it up | 21:01 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu community meeting in #xubuntu-devel in 60 minutes. Everyone is invited to attend. Agenda is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Meetings | 21:01 |
| Mandrew | do you know if xfce team is working one something like unity or gnome3 shell? | 21:02 |
| Sysi | never I guess | 21:02 |
| Mandrew | thats a relief | 21:03 |
| charlie-tca | they are not | 21:04 |
| Mandrew | cool good to know | 21:04 |
| Mandrew | then i can relax a bit ;) | 21:05 |
| Mandrew | it seems like everyone is going for that look and feel. what happened to the proper desktop :) | 21:05 |
| Sysi | I like gnome-shell and unity | 21:11 |
| Mandrew | hehe i hate unity, i thing its utter crap | 21:11 |
| Sysi | workspace system is a bit weird/lacky in gnome3 and unity (2d) is ~ubuntu-only | 21:11 |
| Sysi | but I prefer both over old gnome | 21:12 |
| Sysi | you know gnome2 is still in 11.04, oneiric will include fallback of gnome3 that is quite traditional | 21:12 |
| Sysi | limited but well, as 90s as you wish | 21:12 |
| charlie-tca | I thought oneiric would fall back to unity 2d, same as normal unity 3d without compiz? | 21:14 |
| Mandrew | i like a proper desktop, this shell stuff i dont like. if i want to limited ill just whoop out a tablet or JuliOS | 21:14 |
| Mandrew | to go* | 21:14 |
| Sysi | I think shells are way more functional than aiming to tiny objects | 21:16 |
| Mandrew | well yea if you have limited hardware and a really small touch screen thats the way to go | 21:17 |
| Sysi | I fed up with my netbook, expecially scrollin webpages | 21:19 |
| Mandrew | hehe | 21:23 |
