| Daew | Hello | 08:47 |
| TheSheep | hi Daew | 08:50 |
| Daew | I selected my language for keyboard and everything is working correctly, except that I am unable to write @ (I had to copy it now), does anyone know how could that happen and what can I do to fix it? | 08:50 |
| Daew | and also some other characters.. | 08:50 |
| TheSheep | that's weird | 08:51 |
| TheSheep | what language is that? | 08:51 |
| Daew | Slovenian | 08:51 |
| TheSheep | did you also choose the right keyboard model? | 08:52 |
| Daew | I have generic 104-key selected | 08:52 |
| TheSheep | Daew: looks like on the slovenian keyboard you get @ with gr alt+V | 08:53 |
| jrmy | how do I set up my mouse buttons? | 08:53 |
| TheSheep | jrmy: set up? | 08:54 |
| TheSheep | jrmy: they should work out of the box | 08:54 |
| jrmy | my middle mouse button does'nt work correctly | 08:55 |
| Daew | Oh, thank you. It is different than on then other os then. Where did you find this (so I can check for other characters)? | 08:55 |
| jrmy | instead of the auto scroll on pages it does nothing from what i can tell | 08:55 |
| jrmy | it does paste text though... | 08:56 |
| jrmy | highlighted text | 08:56 |
| TheSheep | Daew: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Bosnian.2C_Croatian.2C_Serbian_Latin_and_Slovene | 08:56 |
| Daew | ty | 08:56 |
| TheSheep | jrmy: yeah, that how mouse buttons on linux work | 08:56 |
| jrmy | no auto scroll? | 08:56 |
| * jrmy cries | 08:56 | |
| TheSheep | Daew: you may want to try other layout variants | 08:56 |
| TheSheep | jrmy: "autoscroll"? | 08:57 |
| TheSheep | jrmy: I'm sure that there is a browser plugin that does it | 08:57 |
| jrmy | i think it's called universal scroll | 08:57 |
| jrmy | or something.. you middle click and then move a direction and it will scroll that way | 08:57 |
| Unit193 | Ah, I know how to fix that in FF :P | 08:57 |
| jrmy | i do have a wireless logitech mouse | 08:58 |
| TheSheep | Daew: for example, the polish keyboard layout has the polish keyboard, which has all the letters in wrong places, and the polish (programmers), which is like the us kayboard, but you get the polish accented characters by holding down alt | 08:58 |
| TheSheep | Daew: I'd guess it's similar in your case | 08:58 |
| Daew | oh | 08:59 |
| Daew | I the Slovenian keyboard I cant get characters that should be on altgr + numbers | 09:00 |

| n2diy | my box is really dragging, top shows Xorg using 85% of my CPU, ideas? | 11:06 |
| jrmy | what's your specs? | 11:08 |
| n2diy | 1.8ghz cpu with 1.5g of ram. | 11:09 |
| Sysi | reboot and if it still happens, tell us your graphics card model | 11:09 |
| n2diy | logging out, and back in will clear it up, it does this about once a week. | 11:10 |
| Sysi | xorg is like that, you can get about week of uptime for it | 11:10 |
| n2diy | Well, it never used to do this, but of course I can't pin down when it started to act up, so I have no clue as to what is causing it. | 11:13 |
| n2diy | This is the first box I'm using with the Ext4 file system, but if that was the problem, I would think it would be hogging mem and/or swap? | 11:15 |
| Sysi | general badness afaik, or some driver | 11:15 |
| n2diy | oh well, might as well log out, brb. | 11:16 |
| jrmy | how do install themes? | 12:04 |
| jrmy | seems some things are easier in ubuntu | 12:04 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| jrmy | is there a community documentation site like the ubuntu one for xubuntu? | 12:38 |
| jrmy | can't find anything to help me with learning more on how to better equip myself for use with this distro | 12:39 |
| jrmy | I prefer xfce over gnome so I'm not going to switch to ubuntu | 12:39 |
| jrmy | looking for another xfce based distro is probably just a stupid idea seeing as I haven't got enough experience with linux as it is | 12:40 |
| charlie-tca | Since Xubuntu uses the same gtk base as Ubuntu, most of the Ubuntu documentation will apply | 12:40 |
| knome | ubuntu one is not suppoed to work with xubuntu | 12:40 |
| jrmy | how do i change a theme if xubuntu and ubuntu are different? | 12:41 |
| jrmy | and the guide telle ms how to do it on ubuntu | 12:41 |
| charlie-tca | !themes | 12:41 |
| ubottu | Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 12:41 |
| jrmy | tells* | 12:41 |
| knome | menu -> settings -> settings manager -> appearance for gtk theme, window manager for xfwm theme | 12:41 |
| charlie-tca | One more to fix | 12:42 |
| madnick | jrmy: appearance in Settings allows you to change theme | 12:42 |
| jrmy | how many of these directly install themes? I don't know how to install them manually if i'd have to | 12:42 |
| jrmy | I'm looking for more themes; I'm not satisfied with teh current ones | 12:42 |
| jrmy | if i could just make one from scratch I'd do that but it's probably difficult for my level of expertise | 12:43 |
| knome | jrmy, you can browse xfce-look.org for more themes | 12:43 |
| jrmy | is there issue with trying to install themes designed for gnome or other environments? | 12:45 |
| jrmy | http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Aerolite?content=54127 how would i install this theme if it has a download link that gives me a .tar? i have no idea how this stuff works | 12:47 |
| jrmy | i read a thread that talked about a ~/.themes but this doesn't appear to exist | 12:48 |
| knome | !themes | 12:48 |
| ubottu | To change your theme in Xubuntu, go to Settings Manager » Appearance (GTK+ theme) or Settings Manager » Window Manager (xfwm4 theme) to change the theme - find more themes at http://xfce-look.org/ | 12:48 |
| knome | charlie-tca, ^ better? | 12:48 |
| knome | jrmy, just create .themes | 12:48 |
| knome | jrmy, any "gnome" gtk themes should work in xfce as well, but you need an xfwm theme for the window borders | 12:49 |
| jrmy | and how do I create a .themes? | 12:49 |
| knome | jrmy, like you would create a normal directory as well | 12:53 |
| knome | jrmy, in your home folder in thunar, right-click and select "create folder" | 12:54 |
| charlie-tca | yes, better | 12:55 |
| jrmy | didn't know about all of these hidden folders | 12:57 |
| jrmy | so i guess i extract a theme to .themes and it should appear in appearance>style | 12:57 |
| jrmy | as in the theme changer thing | 12:58 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 12:58 |
| charlie-tca | Most themes will have a README or text file telling you what to do with them | 12:58 |
| jrmy | not showing up | 13:00 |
| jrmy | It's probably because of that error with my desktop directory being my home directory and what not.. who knows what else might be out of wack on my computer | 13:01 |
| GridCube | hello jrmy | 13:01 |
| jrmy | ih | 13:01 |

| GridCube | you still have problems? | 13:01 |
| jrmy | yeah | 13:01 |
| GridCube | i see | 13:01 |
| jrmy | getting a little aggravated | 13:02 |
| === Thermi_ is now known as Thermi | ||
| GridCube | edit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs | 13:03 |

| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| jrmy | then do I reboot? | 13:05 |
| jrmy | just wondering if theres another step | 13:06 |
| jrmy | GridCube | 13:07 |
| GridCube | yes rebooting seems good | 13:07 |
| GridCube | i guess that just reloging should do it too | 13:07 |
| GridCube | but rebooting sounds better | 13:07 |
| jrmy | ok | 13:08 |
| jrmy | brb | 13:08 |
| jrmy | ok.. for some reason I can't start Xorg now | 13:11 |
| jrmy | I think my computer hates me.. | 13:12 |
| charlie-tca | jrmy: to be honest, it might be best to do a reinstall on that. You are starting to learn about linux, but doing it on a broken installation will be more confusing than starting fresh | 13:12 |
| GridCube | second | 13:13 |
| jrmy | another note.. I seem to get an error from a fresh install | 13:13 |
| GridCube | but he does have learn a lot this days XD | 13:14 |
| jrmy | idk what it says because it flashes for a seond and boots | 13:14 |
| jrmy | but it hasn't done this since | 13:14 |
| jrmy | probably because theres another error.. | 13:15 |
| GridCube | there is a log for that sort of messages, i think its somewhere on /etc or somewhere like that | 13:15 |
| jrmy | does the amd64 vesrion have any bugs? | 13:15 |
| jrmy | heh.. for wanting a stable OS I haven't seem to be getting the best of luck | 13:15 |
| jrmy | so far everytime I've installed linux I start with some kind of error | 13:16 |
| jrmy | definitely see why they call it plug and pray | 13:16 |
| GridCube | then there is something wrong somewhere | 13:16 |
| jrmy | I know my vga card is kinda crappy | 13:16 |
| jrmy | but other then that everything else should be working fine.. on another note I don't quite have enough to replace it | 13:17 |
| jrmy | and seeing as I'm probably gonna be homeless at the end of teh month I should save every penny I got and not worry about my computer as much | 13:17 |
| jrmy | don't know what to do, really | 13:18 |
| GridCube | reinstall clean using the alternate cd so it wont ask for much ram while installing and usually ends well | 13:20 |
| jrmy | is the non live cd teh alternate? | 13:20 |
| GridCube | yes | 13:21 |
| jrmy | yeah that's what I installed with | 13:21 |
| jrmy | btw whats teh command to check my harddrive integrity? | 13:21 |
| jrmy | I'm wondering if it's gotten messwed up from the power shorts that happened a few days ago.. | 13:22 |
| GridCube | mmm fsck | 13:23 |
| charlie-tca | all versions have logs, they are kept in /var/log | 13:24 |
| charlie-tca | for the installation, look in /var/log/installer | 13:24 |
| jrmy | so doulc i just nano that? | 13:24 |
| jrmy | could* | 13:24 |
| charlie-tca | for boot messages, look in /var/log/dmesg, /var/log/syslog, /var/log/xorg.0.log | 13:25 |
| jrmy | oh yeah dmesg gives me errors | 13:25 |
| charlie-tca | yes, you can read them in nano or mousepad or leafpad or any other editor | 13:25 |
| charlie-tca | Then if you copy and paste the errors to pastebin, we can tell you if they are real errors or not | 13:26 |

| jrmy | if i could only run Xorg... lol | 13:26 |
| jrmy | it says stuff about radeon and compaq mv700 which are names of my video card and monitor | 13:27 |
| jrmy | yes.. i have a crt XI | 13:27 |
| * GridCube too | 13:28 | |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, many times those are marked ERROR, but really are known fails or warnings | 13:29 |
| charlie-tca | Sometimes it even gives suggestions | 13:29 |
| jrmy | the errors say EDID checksum is invalid reminder is 20 | 13:30 |
| charlie-tca | That's an okay type error | 13:30 |
| jrmy | seems to only be linked to my vga | 13:30 |
| jrmy | ok | 13:30 |
| charlie-tca | It just can't read the monitor specifications properly | 13:31 |
| jrmy | ah.. perhaps an older version of xubuntu could | 13:31 |
| jrmy | my monitor is preeeettty old... | 13:31 |
| GridCube | it shouldnt affect anything tho | 13:32 |
| GridCube | i've used black and white monitors whit xubuntu | 13:32 |
| jrmy | idk.. but could explain why the monitor goes into sleep mode if i try installing teh radeon driver from ubuntu | 13:34 |
| jrmy | as in right when xubuntu boots it goes black | 13:35 |
| jrmy | recovery mode or whatever its called might be a place i coudl fix it.. but I'm thinking thats way to advanced for me.. | 13:35 |
| jrmy | don't even remember what I push to initiate it | 13:36 |
| jrmy | but anyways I guess I'm gonna reinstall xubuntu | 13:36 |
| jrmy | quit | 13:37 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, that is the reason for the black monitor. It isn't really going to sleep, but standby mode | 13:37 |

| Anova | Or does it not auto-save my configuration? | 20:16 |
| Sysi | arandr should be able to export script for setting that, you can out that to autostart | 20:18 |
| Anova | ok... | 20:18 |
