[01:19] <raevol> no matter what i do synaptic is always quitting after i perform some package operation
[05:00] <TheRedOctober> Greetings all.  I am getting an exception when I try to run arandr (xubuntu 11.04, just trying to get multihead working).  http://pastebin.com/sL1mSsj8
[05:18] <ish> Anyway to bring color back to some panel icons?  For example, the dropbox one?
[05:22] <gr8m8> ish:  try changing themes again
[05:24] <ish> No go..  Was still on the default theme..  Its weird.  Skype has color, dropbox doesn't.  Empathy doesn't for that matter either.
[07:52] <Wizzir> hi
[12:31] <plouffe> the xubuntu logo right after the grub menu before the login screen is about 5 sizes too big (low resolution). How can I make it look good again?
[12:59] <gigenieks> How can I be sure that my user belongs to "vboxuser" group?
[13:00] <Sysi> "id" in terminal
[13:03] <gigenieks> Sysi: have you used Virtualbox? I can't get USB to work in guest OS (XP SP3).
[13:04] <Sysi> you need to have some additions installed
[13:04] <Sysi> pure virtualbox OSE doesn't support usb, see vbox website
[13:08] <gigenieks> I figured it out now.
[13:08] <gigenieks> :)
[17:02] <xubuntu734> Hi
[17:04] <xubuntu734> I 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/Seq24
[17:07] <xubuntu734> could anyone help me out?
[17:10] <madnick> xubuntu734: with what do you need help? :)
[17:10] <xubuntu734> Picking out a distro.
[17:11] <Sysi> xubuntu is nice and has great community
[17:11] <madnick> Well, xubuntu would probably fit you quite fine, if not then there is lubuntu
[17:11] <Sysi> I think there are other distributions too
[17:11] <xubuntu734> I'm currently installing Xubuntu. Is there any way to make it "lighter wieght"?
[17:11] <xubuntu734> I heard about this thing called "Fluxbox" and this other thing called "GNOME 3"
[17:12] <madnick> Yes, Fluxbox will probably improve performance
[17:12] <madnick> however, keep in mind it is not very user friendly
[17:12] <Sysi> why do you need "more light" with 2GB RAM
[17:12] <madnick> I have a similar computer as you, Intel Duo Core, and 1GB of RAM, it runs Xubuntu flawlessly
[17:13] <xubuntu734> I dunno when I was using Windows for audio production everything required like 4 gigs of ram
[17:13] <xubuntu734> Is stuff in Linux generally easier on the requirements?
[17:14] <madnick> I have no idea about the programs you mentioned, but LMMS and Audacity is pretty low requirements
[17:15] <xubuntu734> Oh really?
[17:15] <xubuntu734> Wow. I used FLStudio
[17:15] <xubuntu734> FLStudio is what LMMS is based on and it had crazy requiremens
[17:15] <madnick> Yes certain moudles
[17:15] <madnick> Are heavy, but not the main stuff
[17:16] <xubuntu734> In LMMS is there a piano roll?
[17:16] <madnick> You mean a "piano on the side"? If then, then yes there is :) (Not sure if the word might mean something else)
[17:18] <xubuntu734> Well I mean being able to program a melody by clicking boxes
[17:18] <xubuntu734> Like a "pattern".
[17:18] <xubuntu734> Boxes that line up with a piano type thing going down the side.
[17:18] <madnick> Yes it has that
[17:18] <Pici> fyi: #ubuntustudio and #opensourcemusicians might have more info :)
[17:20] <xubuntu734> How do I switch to #opensourcemusicians?
[17:20] <Pici> /join #channelname
[17:52] <raevol> anyone know what the equivalent of indicator-power is in 11.04? trying to get the battery indicator to show up in the indicator menu
[17:53] <TheSheep> the indicator plugin
[17:54] <raevol> do 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 battery
[17:56] <raevol> or is it just that the battery indicator only works with gnome-power-manager/
[17:56] <Sysi> add notification area to panel? I'm not sure if xfce4-power-manager supports indicators
[17:56] <Sysi> xfce also has separate plugin for checking battery state
[17:57] <raevol> i'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 work
[17:57] <xubuntu703> hola, somebody speaks spanish ?
[17:57] <TheSheep> !es | xubuntu703
[17:58] <Sysi> raevol: do you mean your icon theme lacks proper icon for it?
[17:58] <raevol> Sysi: possibly, part of the issue is my notification area icons are 38 pixels
[17:58] <TheSheep> Sysi: isn't xubuntu using the gnome power manager though?
[17:58] <raevol> i notice that when they are 23 pixels, it uses a properly themed icon
[17:58] <raevol> i'm using elementary Xubuntu Dark for icons
[17:59] <TheSheep> raevol: you might want to file a bug for a missing icon :)
[17:59] <Sysi> TheSheep: nope
[17:59] <raevol> -_- ok
[18:04] <raevol> elementary xubuntu doesn't seem to provide any icons for the battery
[18:05] <Sysi> I think I had panel size 30 before icons started to get wrong
[18:05] <raevol> ah ok they are elementary-mono-dark
[18:06] <raevol> Sysi: the notification area has its own size setting, have you messed with that? also differs if you have the frame displaying or not
[18:08] <raevol> so the larger sized icons in elementary-mono-dark are the ugly ones
[18:09] <raevol> ugly being an opinion of mine, not an objective assesment
[18:09] <raevol> maybe i'll just have to make my own icon theme
[18:25] <TheSheep> raevol: try the tango generator
[18:26] <TheSheep> raevol: it automates the most labourious part
[18:32] <knobydobs> hi, when i run a game i get an error like this

[18:51] <charlie-tca> raevol: you need the xfce-battery-plugin
[18:52] <_ToZ> knobydobs: see http://delogics.blogspot.com/2010/12/x-error-of-failed-request-badlength.html
[18:52] <raevol> charlie-tca: hmm, i have that, specifically i am looking for support for the indicator menu, not the notification area
[18:52] <charlie-tca> I thought it would work in either one?
[18:53] <raevol> charlie-tca: perhaps it does? but it's not working for me at the moment, i am missing something

[21:10] <ryanmoore> hey guys. could anyone give me some hints as to how i'd set up a search box on my desktop for finding, well, any number of things on my desktop? I deleted the auto hidden panel at the bottom of the screen with a search thing and now I can't figure out how to get it back
[21:35] <slarty> hello, new to irc, fairly new to xubuntu so just TESTING CONNECTION
[21:36] <charlie-tca> slarty: Working fine
[21:40] <slarty> ahh ty charlie-tca
[23:30] <com64> I 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.
[23:31] <charlie-tca> That's a known issue in oneiric
[23:31] <com64> hmn, shows up as unknown filesystem in gparted
[23:32] <com64> I think I had the same problem with Linux Mint 10
[23:32] <com64> strangely.
[23:33] <com64> I 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. :S
[23:37] <com64> BTW, 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.
[23:52] <com64> Also, Ubuntu Software Centre repeatedly crashes.
[23:52] <com64> While installing software.
