[00:24] <devilman__> alguno sabe como configurar el tactil de un panasonic toughbook cf 73 con xubuntu maverick??
[07:19] <philipballew> how do i set a new theme in xubuntu 10.04
[07:25] <huseyin> hi
[07:25] <huseyin> since this morning i have a problem with xubuntu
[07:26] <huseyin> i'll be glad if someone can give some hint
[07:26] <huseyin> all application borders are gone
[07:26] <huseyin> i cannot move, exit, minimize apps
[07:26] <huseyin> i cannot see the list of running applications on the panel
[07:26] <huseyin> i cannot switch workspaces
[07:27] <huseyin> the number of workspace were 2 but became 4 and i cannot change that too
[07:27] <huseyin> any idea?
[07:31] <nicofs> huseyin, from how you describe it, it must be some problem with the window manager... can you access the settings? appearance, themes, something like that?
[07:31] <nicofs> sadly, I don't have xubuntu anymore, i can't check where all the stuff is...
[07:31] <huseyin> yes, i can access the settings
[07:32] <nicofs> i guess you tried to change them several times and it didn't help...
[07:32] <huseyin> well, i just checked the window manager settings but i cannot see anything in it
[07:32] <huseyin> it's totally emoty
[07:33] <huseyin> i mean, i open settings manager and click on window manager
[07:33] <huseyin> and i cannot see anything in it
[07:33] <huseyin> it's an empty page
[07:33] <larre> So, I'm running xubuntu using Oracle VirtualBox on Windows 7. Cant get higher resolution that 1024x768. My monitor is a Full-HD 1920x1080 native. How can I fix it?
[07:33] <nicofs> larre, what did you try so far to change it?
[07:34] <well_laid_lawn> larre: tried checking the log to see what's going on?
[07:35] <larre> editing xorg.conf and I even found some kind of settings editor in the menu, and there it is set to 1920*1080 indeed, but no change
[07:36] <well_laid_lawn> it more than likely is vbox at fault then try #vbox
[07:36] <larre> ah it has a support channel too, nice
[07:37] <huseyin> should i try to reinstall xfce4?
[07:37] <nicofs> huseyin, we somehow need to reconfigure your settings... last resort would be to find the folder with the settings, delete it and restart...
[07:37] <nicofs> i can't guarantee that this will work, though
[07:37] <huseyin> where should i look for the settings?
[07:38] <larre> Also I have now given up trying to install xubuntu on my old Dell Inspirion 1100 Laptop. Guess it's too old, even though it seems to have enough memory
[07:38] <nicofs> it should be a hidden folder in your home folder...
[07:39] <huseyin> .config or domething?
[07:39] <nicofs> huseyin, rather something with .x*
[07:40] <huseyin> that was the first thing I checked: somehitng with .x
[07:40] <huseyin> i can see .Xdefaults, .xsession-errors
[07:40] <huseyin> nothing else related to cfxe4
[07:40] <huseyin> sorry xfce4
[07:40] <larre> As running Xubuntu directly from CD doesn't work either, I guess it's a sign it won't work. Perhaps an earlier version would work?
[07:41] <nicofs> huseyin, hmm... maybe xsession-errors has something in it that tels us what's wrong...
[07:42] <huseyin> it's a large file actually
[07:42] <huseyin> i tried to read it but didn't really get it
[07:42] <huseyin> but, there are a lot of lines with: xfdesktop[2639] is already running; assuming --reload
[07:43] <huseyin> another eye catchy is: (xfce4-xkb-plugin:2615): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_destroy: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed
[07:43] <huseyin> (xfdesktop:2589): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
[07:43] <huseyin> (xfdesktop:2589): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance
[07:44] <nicofs> huseyin, i know that somewhere there is a set of files where all your session settings are stored - i know because i edited it... but as i don't have xubuntu, i can't check from here...
[07:44] <huseyin> under .config there are some xfce related files with a .xml extension
[07:44] <huseyin> could those be?
[07:44] <nicofs> huseyin, sounds about right...
[07:46] <huseyin> here there are some .xml files
[07:46] <huseyin> like: xfce4-desktop.xml, xfce4-panel.xml, xfce4-session.xml, xfce4-settings-manager.xml, xsettings.xml, xfce4-session.xml
[07:47] <huseyin> i.e. in xfce4-session.xml it seems all the values are set to "empty"
[07:48] <nicofs> I'd just back them up somewhere (just put them into an archive), so that they are gone and restart - hopefully that sets your session back tu default... in case of the worst: do you have  something to boot a live system if it fails...?
[07:49] <huseyin> i have a dual boot system. I can boot from Pardus (Linux again) and reach back to the files
[07:49] <huseyin> nicofs: thank you very much. I'll backup the directory, remove the files and restart to try
[07:50] <huseyin> i'll get back here with the result :)
[07:50] <huseyin> bye
[07:52] <larre> you were right, there is a package called gues additions from virtualbox that needs to be installed in xubuntu
[07:52] <larre> Now as a newbie I dont even know how to install that
[07:53] <larre> VBoxLinuxAdditions.run is the file. How do I run it?
[07:54] <larre> could just click on it as I need to be root
[07:54] <larre> could not I mean
[07:55] <nicofs> larre, is it set to executable...?
[07:56] <larre> have no idea
[07:57] <nicofs> can you sudo?
[07:57] <larre> of cpurse
[07:58] <larre> course
[07:58] <nicofs> "sudo chmod +x VBoxLinuxAdditions.run"
[07:59] <larre> vbox has emulated a cd-rom where the files are, but I dont know how to get to that folder in the terminal
[08:01] <larre> ah nevermind
[08:01] <larre> solved it
[08:03] <huseyin> hi again
[08:03] <huseyin> nicofs: removing configuration files didn't help
[08:04] <huseyin> but, during our conservation i have realized that window manager settings were disappeared
[08:04] <huseyin> i googled for that problem
[08:04] <huseyin> and found out the solution
[08:04] <huseyin> xfwm4 --replace
[08:04] <huseyin> solved my problem
[08:05] <larre> chmod just changes rights it seems. I need to execute the run-file as root
[08:05] <huseyin> but, when i put back the original configuration files, i had to run xfwm4 --replace command again
[08:06] <huseyin> nicofs: thanks again
[08:06] <huseyin> bye
[08:08] <larre> finalli things are working

[09:40] <well_laid_lawn> it should be installed already iirc
[09:41] <searching> ok
[09:41] <well_laid_lawn> try   sudo apt-get install xf86-video-intel
[09:41] <searching> ok
[09:41] <well_laid_lawn> I dunno why udev didn't recognise it
[09:41] <searching> E: Unable to locate package xf86-video-intel
[09:42] <searching> :))
[09:42] <searching> how to reconfigure xorg
[09:42] <searching> get in recovery
[09:43] <searching> and what next?
[09:43] <TheSheep> there is an option in there called 'reconfigure xorg' afair
[09:44] <Myrtti> well_laid_lawn: which linux are you using? XF86 hasn't been in Ubuntu for years...
[09:45] <Myrtti> well that name anyway
[09:46] <well_laid_lawn> I got the name wrong again?
[09:46] <searching> reconfigure: command not found
[09:47] <searching> :))
[09:47] <searching> thanks bye
[09:47] <searching> gave over
[09:47] <searching> game
[09:48] <Myrtti> right
[10:15] <searching> I put a xorg.conf file
[10:16] <searching> and it works
[10:16] <searching> but very slow
[10:17] <searching> the refresh rate to be the problem?
[10:39] <flameboy> Hi guys, I need some help with my xorg.conf coding
[11:04] <emilhem> I'm having a problem. When the Swap "memory" is starting to be used by the system the computer starts to lag very much. I only have 1GB of RAM and almost 4GB of Swap.
[11:06] <Sysi> completely normal, happens because harddisk is much slower than RAM
[11:08] <emilhem> But the lag is extreme. Yes the hard drive isn't the best but I think that it shoulden't lag this much. Do you think that I should reduce the size of the Swap or is there a way to reduce the usage of the Swap file system?
[11:10] <Sysi> swap is used when you're out of ram.. you need to get more if you use apps that require lots of ram
[11:10] <Sysi> hdd is *terribly* slow compared to ram really
[11:11] <Sysi> amount of swap doesn't matter much, you need to have it as much aas you need..
[11:11] <emilhem> I know that. But I'm only using the computer for browsing the web and typing php codes in Geany.
[11:12] <Sysi> what browser?
[11:15] <TheSheep> flashblock should help
[11:16] <emilhem> Firefox.
[11:17] <ablomen> emilhem, are you running any other applications? i'm running ff with a lot of tabs, and loads of other stuff and only 1754mb is being used, of which 950 mb is cache/buffers
[11:18] <emilhem> I run lamp too but its only for local usage and it's set to use as little cache and memory as possible.
[11:18] <emilhem> I use skype too.
[11:20] <ablomen> emilhem, you could take a look at the task manager (or top) to see whats using all that ram
[11:21] <ablomen> firefox uses about 500mb here but that's with plugins open and sites like facebook, google docs/read/plus and twitter open, which are quite JS heavy
[11:21] <emilhem> I'll do that. But thanks for the tip about flashblock.
[16:10] <flopato> hey guys n girls
[17:29] <gigenieks> hi guys!
[17:31] <gigenieks> what was the command of Alt+F2 to restart Xubuntu window manager? I remember it was something like "xfce4 --replace ?
[17:31] <charlie-tca> xfwm4 --replace
[17:51] <gigenieks> charlie-tca: it fixed I just didnt remember at first exact typo.. it happened 2nd time in month or so. Anyway thank you, have a nice evening! :)
[17:51] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[17:52] <charlie-tca> Not easy remembering all these different commands.
[17:52] <Sysi> doesn't it suggest command when you type "xf"?
[17:54] <Myrtti> Sysi: alt-f2 in Xubuntu? no
[17:54] <Myrtti> only if you've used it before
[18:03] <gigenieks> yeah it did suggest (this is 2nd time i do this)
[18:05] <Myrtti> alt-f2 is lovely tho - I used gnome-do for a while and got used to the keyboard combo to evoke it so I changed the keyboard combo for "Run program" to be from alt-f2 to ctrl-space and now I use it more than I do use menus :-D
[18:16] <einseenai> hello, guys, anybody experienced multiple "don't show this message again" buttons in xfce4 notify?
[18:18] <charlie-tca> yup
[18:18] <charlie-tca> is your system up to date?
[18:18] <einseenai> any way to solve it?
[18:19] <einseenai> well, i just tried xubuntu daily image
[18:19] <einseenai> oneiric
[18:19] <charlie-tca> I haven't seen that on any of the tests
[18:19] <charlie-tca> is that todays image?
[18:20] <einseenai> nope O:)
[18:20] <einseenai> ok, i'll try today's one now
[18:20] <charlie-tca> Then, I would suggest today's image. old images have bugs that have been fixed
[18:20] <einseenai> thanks a lot, charlie-tca :)
[18:21] <charlie-tca> We never fix bugs on old images :)
[18:21] <einseenai> :D
[18:21] <einseenai> yup
[18:21] <charlie-tca> If you get the pile of notices with today's image, please file a bug report
[18:22] <einseenai> ok, i'll try :) though i don't know how to.
[18:22] <einseenai> (when i saw this in oneiric - i thought, oh god, it's still here since 10.04)
[18:22] <einseenai> ok
[18:23] <einseenai> do i have to do this in launchpad or with a prog?
[18:23] <charlie-tca> No, it should be fixed already
[18:23] <charlie-tca> let me find it
[18:24] <einseenai> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notification-daemon/+bug/606825
[18:24] <einseenai> but this one is from 10.04
[18:24] <einseenai> there's one more form 11.4
[18:24] <einseenai> was*
[18:25] <einseenai> ok.
[18:25] <einseenai> i try new image now.
[18:25] <charlie-tca> yes, it's not good for oneiric
[18:25] <charlie-tca> you open a terminal and type
[18:25] <charlie-tca> ubuntu-bug xfce4-notifyd
[18:26] <charlie-tca> to file it against oneiric
[18:27] <einseenai> thanks, charlie-tca, i'll see if it's still there.
[18:27] <charlie-tca> Thank you
[18:28] <einseenai> charlie-tca, btw, don't you know by chance, is there some nice ap to set colors for gtk themes in xfce?
[18:28] <charlie-tca> no
[18:28] <charlie-tca> not that I know of
[18:28] <charlie-tca> Mostly it is by direct modification of the files
[18:30] <einseenai> charlie-tca, thank you. is that possible that gnome-color-chooser will work?
[18:31] <charlie-tca> sure, it is possible
[18:31] <charlie-tca> I don't know
[18:31] <einseenai> ok. thx -)
[18:31] <madnick> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_PixMap
[18:32] <madnick> Aloows you to change the xpm files, using gvim for example
[18:32] <madnick> sorry
[18:32] <madnick> did not read your question good enough
[18:33] <einseenai> madnick, :)
[19:51] <sleek> does anyone know what config file has the line "exec startxfce4"?
[19:53] <sleek> or know how the login manager automatically gets started?
[20:00] <Sysi> login manager is GDM and it starts xfce when you have autolog set too
[20:00] <Sysi> it's run like ither init scripts
[23:34] <cavaticus> If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. I have spent the past 5 hours scouring Google for a fix. FYI, I'm a noob. Anyways, I have had Xubuntu 11.04 installed for a day on my system. It was fine when I turned it off last night. When I turned it on this afternoon, however, the desktop is a brown color, no icons are appearing. There is no titlebar, and there is only one workspace. Menus on the menu bar are occasionally di
[23:34] <cavaticus> sappearing when I mouse over them. I have found that typing "Metacity" in the console temporarily fixes the window based problem and changing themes fixes the icons and background, but once I reboot, it's all messed up again. Anyone know what is going on and how I can fix it?
[23:36] <knome> cavaticus, try running "xfwm4 --replace"
[23:38] <cavaticus> Wow, seems to have fixed the problem. Just to satiate my curiosity, what was going on?
[23:38] <cavaticus> Thanks!
[23:38] <knome> cavaticus, apparently, the xfce window manager was shut down
[23:39] <knome> cavaticus, now, when you shut the pc the next time, remember to save the session
[23:39] <cavaticus> How do I save the session?
[23:40] <knome> when you click the quit button, there should be a checkbox in the quit dialog
[23:40] <cavaticus> knome, thank you.
[23:40] <knome> no problem
