| NoobEd | Hi, came here looking for help with xubuntu I can't find on web | 00:28 |
| well_laid_lawn | you'll have to state the issue and be patient in here sometimes | 00:28 |
| well_laid_lawn | !ask | 00:28 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:28 |
| well_laid_lawn | 75 ppl in the channel - must be getting close to the record :) | 00:30 |
| NoobEd | first time here, Using a black theme Network monitor very hard to see can I modify? | 00:30 |
| well_laid_lawn | right click it and see what comes up | 00:31 |
| well_laid_lawn | I think it'll be using the themes colours tho | 00:31 |
| NoobEd | gives me choice of colors for bars, but display is dark against black | 00:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | sounds like the theme might be not quite right | 00:33 |
| NoobEd | using Midnight OSX theme | 00:33 |
| NoobEd | I'd just like to see the network progress bars better. Conky is great, but hidden when windows are maxed | 00:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | you said you could change the bars colours... | 00:36 |
| NoobEd | yeah, changed them to white and off-white, but on the black panel they still show up very dark on black background | 00:37 |
| well_laid_lawn | I'd try another theme for now | 00:38 |
| well_laid_lawn | maybe someone that's on in a bit will know | 00:38 |
| NoobEd | got knocked off, i'm back | 00:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | resurrected? | 00:53 |
| NoobEd | changed my theme. the network monitor shows ok now- switched to one called aud-Defaule | 00:55 |
| NoobEd | Thats default | 00:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | great | 00:55 |
| NoobEd | the bars for network now show great, but workspaces are black on black | 00:55 |
| NoobEd | if no windows open in a workspace I can't see the separation between spaces | 00:57 |
| NoobEd | guess I'll just have to live with that for a while and see...thanks for the suggestion well_laid_lawn, bye | 00:59 |

| Fudge | anyone know if xubuntu would work well on a 1.2gig celeron old laptop with 256 ram, it had win me on it | 06:54 |
| well_laid_lawn | mightn't be the quickest but should work | 06:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | firefox and other large apps might be a hassle | 06:55 |
| Fudge | think lxde might be light weight for the user | 06:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | the apps you use will be more important afaik | 06:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | with just 256mB | 06:56 |
| Fudge | its a mates son so online games in web browser | 06:56 |
| Fudge | would 512 make it a lot better | 06:56 |
| Fudge | might be able to scrounge ram up, prob 72pin stuff | 06:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | a bit better I wouldn't say alot for online games | 06:57 |
| Fudge | tks | 06:57 |
| well_laid_lawn | luck :) | 06:57 |
| mikodo | Blew up my Lucid Xubuntu (Xfce 4.6) install; but when i reinstall, how can I place icons on the panel for web-links for Ubuntu forums etc. | 08:58 |
| well_laid_lawn | does right click and add launcher work? | 08:59 |
| mikodo | I think it asks for a path or command, and I don't know how to do that | 08:59 |
| Sysi | bookmarks plugin could do that, but you can also create launchers with command like 'firefox http://ubuntuforums.com' | 09:00 |
| mikodo | Alright guys, I'll give it a try next time ..Thx | 09:01 |
| Wulai | May I know how to add dictionaries to my dictionary in Xubuntu? | 09:12 |
| Wulai | May I know how to add dictionaries to my dictionary in Xubuntu? | 10:05 |
| well_laid_lawn | Wulai: the app you use has a dictionary not xubuntu - which app do you want a dictionary for? | 10:06 |
| well_laid_lawn | abiword or ? | 10:06 |
| Wulai | xfce4-dict | 10:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | !info xfce4-dict | 10:07 |
| ubottu | xfce4-dict (source: xfce4-dict): Dictionary plugin for Xfce4 panel. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.0-3ubuntu3 (natty), package size 154 kB, installed size 856 kB | 10:07 |
| Wulai | I just want have the English word translated into Chinese! But now it is explained in English! | 10:09 |
| TheSheep | Wulai: it uses the same dictionaries as the command line 'dict' command | 10:10 |
| TheSheep | Wulai: they are in the repository as 'dict-* | 10:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | or aspell/ispell if this is right - http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/xfce4-dict | 10:10 |
| TheSheep | Wulai: they are in the repository as 'dict-*' packages | 10:10 |
| Wulai | Where can I find them? | 10:11 |
| TheSheep | !repos | 10:11 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 10:11 |

| Wulai | How can I open a ppt file in Xubuntu? | 13:55 |
| ElderDryas | Open/Libre Office | 13:57 |
| sean-w | Hello. Somehow, I think I disabled xcomposite when I deleted my .config/sessions/*. How can I re enable it to get my transparent panel back? | 13:58 |
| ElderDryas | sean-w: It depends, how did you "delete" the files/folder? | 14:00 |
| sean-w | rm | 14:00 |
| ElderDryas | Sorry, they're gone, Jim :( | 14:00 |
| ElderDryas | However you did the customization the first time, you'll have to do it again | 14:03 |
| sean-w | I don't mind having the sessions gone. I needed to delete it because the entire session was messed up. Metacity wasn't run running, and the file manager wouldn't open my home folder. Deleting thessions fixed that. | 14:04 |
| ElderDryas | One fix, one problem. Looks like a wash to me :) | 14:04 |
| sean-w | I didn't customize that panel. I tried to enable transperancy on that panel by hand, and it wasn't an option. Google seems to think that xcomposite must be enabled first. | 14:05 |
| sean-w | Yeah, it's just bugging me :) | 14:05 |
| ElderDryas | Panel Preferences>Appearence>Alpha might do what you want | 14:06 |
| sean-w | That's the problem, alpha isn't listed anymore. Just None, solid color, or use background image. | 14:07 |
| ElderDryas | you running 11.10B2 ? | 14:08 |
| sean-w | 11.04 | 14:09 |
| ElderDryas | I'm not sure what's going on, but on my 11.04 system (re0installed last night and with all current updates), has the Alpha option | 14:10 |

| sean-w | Hi all. How do I set the system-wide default audio recording device? | 16:47 |
| GridCube | !audio | 16:56 |
| GridCube | mmm | 16:56 |
| GridCube | how weird | 16:56 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 16:56 |
| viller | how do I remove gmusicbrowser? It's not in the software center and synaptic says it's not installed | 18:23 |
| TheSheep | viller: what makes you think it is installed? | 18:23 |
| viller | :D you're right, it's not. I guess I already got rid of it | 18:25 |
| viller | it was still on the panel so I got confused | 18:26 |
| xubuntu344 | alguien habla español? | 18:44 |
| Unit193 | !es | 18:45 |
| ubottu | 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. | 18:45 |
| GridCube | xubuntu344, :) ven a #xubuntu-es o a #ubuntu-es :D | 18:47 |
| xubuntu344 | muchas gracias | 18:47 |
| mikodo | Well another newbie's first: To create a launcher in panel say for Ubuntu Forums; Right Click "Add to Panel -> Custom Application Launcher -> Add -> in Name; add something like Ubuntu Forums -> in Command; add firefox http://www.ubuntuforums.org -> Click on Close ...
