[00:05] good night [00:24] alguno sabe como configurar el tactil de un panasonic toughbook cf 73 con xubuntu maverick?? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [07:19] how do i set a new theme in xubuntu 10.04 === Unit193 is now known as Guest21521 [07:25] hi [07:25] since this morning i have a problem with xubuntu [07:26] i'll be glad if someone can give some hint [07:26] all application borders are gone [07:26] i cannot move, exit, minimize apps [07:26] i cannot see the list of running applications on the panel [07:26] i cannot switch workspaces [07:27] the number of workspace were 2 but became 4 and i cannot change that too [07:27] any idea? === Guest21521 is now known as Unit19 [07:31] 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] sadly, I don't have xubuntu anymore, i can't check where all the stuff is... [07:31] yes, i can access the settings [07:32] i guess you tried to change them several times and it didn't help... [07:32] well, i just checked the window manager settings but i cannot see anything in it [07:32] it's totally emoty [07:33] i mean, i open settings manager and click on window manager [07:33] and i cannot see anything in it [07:33] it's an empty page [07:33] 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] larre, what did you try so far to change it? [07:34] larre: tried checking the log to see what's going on? [07:35] 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] it more than likely is vbox at fault then try #vbox [07:36] ah it has a support channel too, nice [07:37] should i try to reinstall xfce4? [07:37] 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] i can't guarantee that this will work, though [07:37] where should i look for the settings? [07:38] 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] it should be a hidden folder in your home folder... [07:39] .config or domething? [07:39] huseyin, rather something with .x* [07:40] that was the first thing I checked: somehitng with .x [07:40] i can see .Xdefaults, .xsession-errors [07:40] nothing else related to cfxe4 [07:40] sorry xfce4 [07:40] 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] huseyin, hmm... maybe xsession-errors has something in it that tels us what's wrong... [07:42] it's a large file actually === Unit19 is now known as Unit193 [07:42] i tried to read it but didn't really get it [07:42] but, there are a lot of lines with: xfdesktop[2639] is already running; assuming --reload [07:43] another eye catchy is: (xfce4-xkb-plugin:2615): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_destroy: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed [07:43] (xfdesktop:2589): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed [07:43] (xfdesktop:2589): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance [07:44] 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] under .config there are some xfce related files with a .xml extension [07:44] could those be? [07:44] huseyin, sounds about right... [07:46] here there are some .xml files [07:46] like: xfce4-desktop.xml, xfce4-panel.xml, xfce4-session.xml, xfce4-settings-manager.xml, xsettings.xml, xfce4-session.xml [07:47] i.e. in xfce4-session.xml it seems all the values are set to "empty" [07:48] 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] i have a dual boot system. I can boot from Pardus (Linux again) and reach back to the files [07:49] nicofs: thank you very much. I'll backup the directory, remove the files and restart to try [07:50] i'll get back here with the result :) [07:50] bye [07:52] you were right, there is a package called gues additions from virtualbox that needs to be installed in xubuntu [07:52] Now as a newbie I dont even know how to install that [07:53] VBoxLinuxAdditions.run is the file. How do I run it? [07:54] could just click on it as I need to be root [07:54] could not I mean [07:55] larre, is it set to executable...? [07:56] have no idea [07:57] can you sudo? [07:57] of cpurse [07:58] course [07:58] "sudo chmod +x VBoxLinuxAdditions.run" [07:59] 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] ah nevermind [08:01] solved it [08:03] hi again [08:03] nicofs: removing configuration files didn't help [08:04] but, during our conservation i have realized that window manager settings were disappeared [08:04] i googled for that problem [08:04] and found out the solution [08:04] xfwm4 --replace [08:04] solved my problem [08:05] chmod just changes rights it seems. I need to execute the run-file as root [08:05] but, when i put back the original configuration files, i had to run xfwm4 --replace command again [08:06] nicofs: thanks again [08:06] bye [08:08] finalli things are working [09:02] where is resolution config file on xubuntu 10.10? [09:12] in ~/.config/xfce4 with the rest of 'em I suppose searching [09:13] thanks [09:13] don't thank me yet ... [09:13] wait till you find it :) [09:15] i find [09:15] a xml file [09:15] and I put a new resolution [09:16] will keep the newone after reboot? [09:17] when you close xfce it will probably be overwritten searching [09:20] nothing happens [09:21] how can I force 1024/768 resolution? [09:22] hi guys, I'm searching for a lightweight Ubuntu based distribution for my old P4/256mb ram desktop computer [09:22] I've found Xubuntu [09:22] weakref: you need more ram [09:22] is it ok for my specs? [09:22] no [09:23] ? [09:23] damn :-/ another ubuntu based distro? I would avoid to install windows xp (it runs fine with that specs) [09:24] lubuntu [09:24] thank you searching [09:24] some one help me? [09:25] searching: check the X log [09:25] /var/log/Xorg.0.log [09:26] ok [09:26] hi! how can i add a keyboard language indicator to a top panel? xubuntu 11.04 [09:27] yes [09:27] checked [09:28] searching: the log will say what vid driver is being used [09:28] vesa or ati or... [09:29] and why it won't give a bigger display [09:31] I can`t see nothing [09:32] is killing my eyes [09:32] pastebin it [09:32] !paste [09:32] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[09:39] I'd try the intel driver [09:40] xf86-video-intel [09:40] how to install it? [09:40] it should be installed already iirc [09:41] ok [09:41] try sudo apt-get install xf86-video-intel [09:41] ok [09:41] I dunno why udev didn't recognise it [09:41] E: Unable to locate package xf86-video-intel [09:42] :)) [09:42] how to reconfigure xorg [09:42] get in recovery [09:43] and what next? [09:43] there is an option in there called 'reconfigure xorg' afair [09:44] well_laid_lawn: which linux are you using? XF86 hasn't been in Ubuntu for years... [09:45] well that name anyway [09:46] I got the name wrong again? [09:46] reconfigure: command not found [09:47] :)) [09:47] thanks bye [09:47] gave over [09:47] game [09:48] right [10:15] I put a xorg.conf file [10:16] and it works [10:16] but very slow [10:17] the refresh rate to be the problem? === Alan_ is now known as Alan [10:39] Hi guys, I need some help with my xorg.conf coding [11:04] 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] completely normal, happens because harddisk is much slower than RAM [11:08] 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] 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] hdd is *terribly* slow compared to ram really [11:11] amount of swap doesn't matter much, you need to have it as much aas you need.. [11:11] I know that. But I'm only using the computer for browsing the web and typing php codes in Geany. [11:12] what browser? [11:15] flashblock should help [11:16] Firefox. [11:17] 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] 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] I use skype too. [11:20] emilhem, you could take a look at the task manager (or top) to see whats using all that ram [11:21] 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] I'll do that. But thanks for the tip about flashblock. === gusnan is now known as AndreasR [16:10] hey guys n girls [17:29] hi guys! [17:31] what was the command of Alt+F2 to restart Xubuntu window manager? I remember it was something like "xfce4 --replace ? [17:31] xfwm4 --replace [17:51] 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] You are welcome [17:52] Not easy remembering all these different commands. [17:52] doesn't it suggest command when you type "xf"? [17:54] Sysi: alt-f2 in Xubuntu? no [17:54] only if you've used it before [18:03] yeah it did suggest (this is 2nd time i do this) [18:05] 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] hello, guys, anybody experienced multiple "don't show this message again" buttons in xfce4 notify? [18:18] yup [18:18] is your system up to date? [18:18] any way to solve it? [18:19] well, i just tried xubuntu daily image [18:19] oneiric [18:19] I haven't seen that on any of the tests [18:19] is that todays image? [18:20] nope O:) [18:20] ok, i'll try today's one now [18:20] Then, I would suggest today's image. old images have bugs that have been fixed [18:20] thanks a lot, charlie-tca :) [18:21] We never fix bugs on old images :) [18:21] :D [18:21] yup [18:21] If you get the pile of notices with today's image, please file a bug report [18:22] ok, i'll try :) though i don't know how to. [18:22] (when i saw this in oneiric - i thought, oh god, it's still here since 10.04) [18:22] ok [18:23] do i have to do this in launchpad or with a prog? [18:23] No, it should be fixed already [18:23] let me find it [18:24] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notification-daemon/+bug/606825 [18:24] Launchpad bug 606825 in notification-daemon (Ubuntu) "Showing many Dont Show This Messege again" [Low,Confirmed] [18:24] but this one is from 10.04 [18:24] there's one more form 11.4 [18:24] was* [18:25] ok. [18:25] i try new image now. [18:25] yes, it's not good for oneiric [18:25] you open a terminal and type [18:25] ubuntu-bug xfce4-notifyd [18:26] to file it against oneiric [18:27] thanks, charlie-tca, i'll see if it's still there. [18:27] Thank you [18:28] charlie-tca, btw, don't you know by chance, is there some nice ap to set colors for gtk themes in xfce? [18:28] no [18:28] not that I know of [18:28] Mostly it is by direct modification of the files [18:30] charlie-tca, thank you. is that possible that gnome-color-chooser will work? [18:31] sure, it is possible [18:31] I don't know [18:31] ok. thx -) [18:31] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_PixMap [18:32] Aloows you to change the xpm files, using gvim for example [18:32] sorry [18:32] did not read your question good enough [18:33] madnick, :) [19:51] does anyone know what config file has the line "exec startxfce4"? [19:53] or know how the login manager automatically gets started? [20:00] login manager is GDM and it starts xfce when you have autolog set too [20:00] it's run like ither init scripts [23:34] 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] 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] cavaticus, try running "xfwm4 --replace" [23:38] Wow, seems to have fixed the problem. Just to satiate my curiosity, what was going on? [23:38] Thanks! [23:38] cavaticus, apparently, the xfce window manager was shut down [23:39] cavaticus, now, when you shut the pc the next time, remember to save the session [23:39] How do I save the session? [23:40] when you click the quit button, there should be a checkbox in the quit dialog [23:40] knome, thank you. [23:40] no problem
