[00:34] 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] have they worked with other linux OS? [00:41] you also shouldn't cross-post [00:47] I have only installed Xubuntu on this laptop. [00:47] It had Win XP before. [04:08] hello?

[09:05] hello [09:06] 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] arpad2: does it show in sudo fdisk -l ? [09:08] well_laid_lawn: no, it doesn't [09:11] arpad2: is there a filesystem on it yet? [09:12] it still should show up in fdisk tho [09:13] yes, 11.04 is installed on it on another pc which motherbroard is defected [09:15] arpad2: is it an ide hdd? is it set to be master? [09:16] well_laid_lawn: I'm not sure about the type. [09:16] but its an older hdd [09:17] WD 400gb [09:18] arpad2: does it have a wide ribbon cable? [09:19] 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] western digital normally have that marked on the drive [09:22] the os starts from the master drive? [09:22] so, I have to change the jumper to slave... [09:24] how I do that? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [13:08] if i add a ftp server with giglio [13:08] afther that i try to open it [13:08] he open a firefox tab [13:08] wtf [13:08] i want him to open a thunar window [13:09] do you know the solution?

[14:26] xubuntu* [14:27] 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] It uploads them as low quality jpegs, requires an account and doesn't allow linking directly to the file [14:28] I just use a bash script I found to upload directly to imgur [14:28] 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] 11.04 version [14:29] ok [14:30] Mandrew, it is pretty weird that you don't have it in your version [14:30] is the package `xfce4-screenshooter' up to date? [14:30] its the 1.7.9 version [14:32] 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)'?

[16:56] Speedfx, isnt that described on the alternate download page? [18:52] How do I downgrade my browser to firefox 3 or 4? [19:04] I think there's a way with dpkg pinning something, but you might get into real dependency trouble there, so... [19:06] ok. thx ne way [19:09] Hi, I'm looking for help in order to share my internet connection to bluetooth devices [19:10] could not find any documentation about that [19:27] sdle123: you have to find the device [19:28] i could give you instructions [19:29] madnick, I sure could use some :) , tx [19:30] sdle123: have you setup your device?

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