[00:34] <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.
[00:41] <Sysi> have they worked with other linux OS?
[00:41] <Sysi> you also shouldn't cross-post
[00:47] <raginkestrel> I have only installed Xubuntu on this laptop.
[00:47] <raginkestrel> It had Win XP before.
[04:08] <alcidemar> hello?
[04:19] <GridCube> !hi
[04:20] <GridCube> oh... im late
[08:19] <lucas_> hey, how can i sync my dropbox folder ?
[09:05] <arpad2> hello
[09:06] <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!
[09:07] <well_laid_lawn> arpad2: does it show in   sudo fdisk -l   ?
[09:08] <arpad2> well_laid_lawn: no, it doesn't
[09:11] <well_laid_lawn> arpad2: is there a filesystem on it yet?
[09:12] <well_laid_lawn> it still should show up in fdisk tho
[09:13] <arpad2> yes, 11.04 is installed on it on another pc which motherbroard is defected
[09:15] <well_laid_lawn> arpad2: is it an ide hdd? is it set to be master?
[09:16] <arpad2> well_laid_lawn: I'm not sure about the type.
[09:16] <arpad2> but its an older hdd
[09:17] <arpad2> WD 400gb
[09:18] <well_laid_lawn> arpad2: does it have a wide ribbon cable?
[09:19] <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
[09:22] <arpad2> the os starts from the master drive?
[09:22] <arpad2> so, I have to change the jumper to slave...
[09:24] <arpad2> how I do that?
[13:08] <exs_> if i add a ftp server with giglio
[13:08] <exs_> afther that i try to open it

[14:04] <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
[14:26] <xrdodrx> Mandrew, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[14:26] <xrdodrx> xubuntu*
[14:27] <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
[14:28] <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
[14:29] <Mandrew> ok
[14:30] <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
[14:32] <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)'?
[14:34] <xrdodrx> better yet
[14:35] <xrdodrx> take a screenshot of the screenshot dialog that comes up :)
[14:35] <Mandrew> http://paste.ubuntu.com/655681/
[14:39] <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 :)
[14:40] <Mandrew> thanks for the help. next time ill try a bit harder before asking for help ;)
[14:41] <Mandrew> fell really stupid

[15:27] <Mandrew> and a get stuck on the last pic  and need to press enter cuz everything freezes up except that window
[15:27] <Mandrew> exit*
[16:51] <Speedfx> Is there any way to use the xubuntu alternate version with wubi?
[16:56] <Mandrew> Speedfx, isnt that described on the alternate download page?
[18:52] <average_guy> How do I downgrade my browser to firefox 3 or 4?
[19:04] <orngjce223> I think there's a way with dpkg pinning something, but you might get into real dependency trouble there, so...
[19:06] <average_guy> ok. thx ne way

[20:51] <Mandrew> hiya
[20:51] <Mandrew> hi charlie-tca how is it swinging
[20:52] <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...
[20:53] <Mandrew> charlie-tca, do you have the time to help me?
[20:53] <Mandrew> cool welcome
[20:53] <dscorzoni> thanks!
[20:54] <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 :)
[20:55] <charlie-tca> I am not sure super is valid. To add shortcuts, you go to Settings -> Settings Manager -> Keyboard, shortcuts tab
[20:56] <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
[20:59] <Mandrew> aaah well not super important, but i would have been pretty nice to add shortcuts
[21:00] <Mandrew> tnx charlie-tca anyway
[21:00] <charlie-tca> no problem. I seem to be at zero for helpfulness today
[21:01] <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
[21:02] <Mandrew> do you know if xfce team is working one something like unity or gnome3 shell?
[21:02] <Sysi> never I guess
[21:03] <Mandrew> thats a relief
[21:04] <charlie-tca> they are not
[21:04] <Mandrew> cool good to know
[21:05] <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 :)
[21:11] <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
[21:12] <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
[21:14] <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*
[21:16] <Sysi> I think shells are way more functional than aiming to tiny objects
[21:17] <Mandrew> well yea if you have limited hardware and a really small touch screen thats the way to go
[21:19] <Sysi> I fed up with my netbook, expecially scrollin webpages
[21:23] <Mandrew> hehe
