TheRedOctoberGreetings all.  I am getting an exception when I try to run arandr (xubuntu 11.04, just trying to get multihead working).  http://pastebin.com/sL1mSsj805:00
ishAnyway to bring color back to some panel icons?  For example, the dropbox one?05:18
gr8m8ish:  try changing themes again05:22
ishNo go..  Was still on the default theme..  Its weird.  Skype has color, dropbox doesn't.  Empathy doesn't for that matter either.05:24

xubuntu734Hi17:02
xubuntu734I am totally new to linux and I'm trying to have myself set up with a lightweight distro for a 2.0 Intel 2 Duo with no frills 2 gigs of RAM. I intend to use this machine as my main computer for work and school and for recording and producing music in Ardour/Hydrogen/Seq2417:04
xubuntu734could anyone help me out?17:07
madnickxubuntu734: with what do you need help? :)17:10
xubuntu734Picking out a distro.17:10
Sysixubuntu is nice and has great community17:11
madnickWell, xubuntu would probably fit you quite fine, if not then there is lubuntu17:11
SysiI think there are other distributions too17:11
xubuntu734I'm currently installing Xubuntu. Is there any way to make it "lighter wieght"?17:11
xubuntu734I heard about this thing called "Fluxbox" and this other thing called "GNOME 3"17:11
madnickYes, Fluxbox will probably improve performance17:12
madnickhowever, keep in mind it is not very user friendly17:12
Sysiwhy do you need "more light" with 2GB RAM17:12
madnickI have a similar computer as you, Intel Duo Core, and 1GB of RAM, it runs Xubuntu flawlessly17:12
xubuntu734I dunno when I was using Windows for audio production everything required like 4 gigs of ram17:13
xubuntu734Is stuff in Linux generally easier on the requirements?17:13
madnickI have no idea about the programs you mentioned, but LMMS and Audacity is pretty low requirements17:14
xubuntu734Oh really?17:15
xubuntu734Wow. I used FLStudio17:15
xubuntu734FLStudio is what LMMS is based on and it had crazy requiremens17:15
madnickYes certain moudles17:15
madnickAre heavy, but not the main stuff17:15
xubuntu734In LMMS is there a piano roll?17:16
madnickYou mean a "piano on the side"? If then, then yes there is :) (Not sure if the word might mean something else)17:16
xubuntu734Well I mean being able to program a melody by clicking boxes17:18
xubuntu734Like a "pattern".17:18
xubuntu734Boxes that line up with a piano type thing going down the side.17:18
madnickYes it has that17:18
Picifyi: #ubuntustudio and #opensourcemusicians might have more info :)17:18
xubuntu734How do I switch to #opensourcemusicians?17:20
Pici/join #channelname17:20
raevolanyone know what the equivalent of indicator-power is in 11.04? trying to get the battery indicator to show up in the indicator menu17:52
TheSheepthe indicator plugin17:53
raevoldo you happen to know the name of the package? or anything more about it? i have the indicator plugin, but it's not showing the battery17:54
raevolor is it just that the battery indicator only works with gnome-power-manager/17:56
Sysiadd notification area to panel? I'm not sure if xfce4-power-manager supports indicators17:56
Sysixfce also has separate plugin for checking battery state17:56
raevoli'm using the notification area icon for xfce-power-manager at the moment, but it's hideous, so i'm trying to get the indicator-menu one to work17:57
xubuntu703hola, somebody speaks spanish ?17:57
TheSheep!es | xubuntu70317:57
ubottuxubuntu703: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #xubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #xubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter.17:57
Sysiraevol: do you mean your icon theme lacks proper icon for it?17:58
raevolSysi: possibly, part of the issue is my notification area icons are 38 pixels17:58
TheSheepSysi: isn't xubuntu using the gnome power manager though?17:58
raevoli notice that when they are 23 pixels, it uses a properly themed icon17:58
raevoli'm using elementary Xubuntu Dark for icons17:58
TheSheepraevol: you might want to file a bug for a missing icon :)17:59
SysiTheSheep: nope17:59
raevol-_- ok17:59
raevolelementary xubuntu doesn't seem to provide any icons for the battery18:04
SysiI think I had panel size 30 before icons started to get wrong18:05
raevolah ok they are elementary-mono-dark18:05
raevolSysi: the notification area has its own size setting, have you messed with that? also differs if you have the frame displaying or not18:06
raevolso the larger sized icons in elementary-mono-dark are the ugly ones18:08
raevolugly being an opinion of mine, not an objective assesment18:09
raevolmaybe i'll just have to make my own icon theme18:09
TheSheepraevol: try the tango generator18:25
TheSheepraevol: it automates the most labourious part18:26

raevolcharlie-tca: hmm, i have that, specifically i am looking for support for the indicator menu, not the notification area18:52
charlie-tcaI thought it would work in either one?18:52
raevolcharlie-tca: perhaps it does? but it's not working for me at the moment, i am missing something18:53

com64I just installed Xubuntu 11.10 Beta 1, and I'm having some trouble getting swap to work. When I hibernate, my session isn't saved, as if I just shut down started normally.23:30
charlie-tcaThat's a known issue in oneiric23:31
com64hmn, shows up as unknown filesystem in gparted23:31
com64I think I had the same problem with Linux Mint 1023:32
com64strangely.23:32
com64I also had a problem before where I had to move my swap partition to another location on the hard disk for it to work; it wouldn't work in a specific area. :S23:33
com64BTW, I set up my partitions and mount points manually. I deleted my previous Linux partitions, shortened win7 partition, created new ones (one swap around 2.5 - 3 GB, one ext4 mounted as /) and mounted my win7 partition as /windows.23:37
com64Also, Ubuntu Software Centre repeatedly crashes.23:52
com64While installing software.23:52
