[00:28] <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
[00:30] <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?
[00:31] <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
[00:32] <NoobEd> gives me choice of colors for bars, but display is dark against black
[00:33] <well_laid_lawn> sounds like the theme might be not quite right
[00:33] <NoobEd> using Midnight OSX theme
[00:35] <NoobEd> I'd just like to see the network progress bars better. Conky is great, but hidden when windows are maxed
[00:36] <well_laid_lawn> you said you could change the bars colours...
[00:37] <NoobEd> yeah, changed them to white and off-white, but on the black panel they still show up very dark on black background
[00:38] <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
[00:53] <NoobEd> got knocked off, i'm back
[00:53] <well_laid_lawn> resurrected?
[00:55] <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
[00:57] <NoobEd> if no windows open in a workspace I can't see the separation between spaces
[00:59] <NoobEd> guess I'll just have to live with that for a while and see...thanks for the suggestion well_laid_lawn, bye
[04:19] <sp4z> seems my window manager is having some issues. there is no title bar or close/minimize etc around anything anymore. tried reinstalling xfce but still having problems anyone able to point me in the direction of a solution?
[04:23] <sp4z> fixed, xfwm4 --replace
[06:54] <Fudge> anyone know if xubuntu would work well on a 1.2gig celeron old laptop with 256 ram, it had win me on it
[06:55] <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
[06:56] <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
[06:57] <well_laid_lawn> a bit better I wouldn't say alot for online games
[06:57] <Fudge> tks
[06:57] <well_laid_lawn> luck :)
[08:58] <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.
[08:59] <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
[09:00] <Sysi> bookmarks plugin could do that, but you can also create launchers with command like 'firefox http://ubuntuforums.com'
[09:01] <mikodo> Alright guys, I'll give it a try next time ..Thx
[09:12] <Wulai> May I know how to add dictionaries to my dictionary in Xubuntu?
[10:05] <Wulai>  May I know how to add dictionaries to my dictionary in Xubuntu?
[10:06] <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 ?
[10:07] <Wulai> xfce4-dict
[10:07] <well_laid_lawn> !info xfce4-dict
[10:09] <Wulai> I just want have the English word translated into Chinese!  But now it is explained in English!
[10:10] <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
[10:11] <Wulai> Where can I find them?
[10:11] <TheSheep> !repos
[10:13] <Wulai> Thank you everybody! I'll have a try!

[13:58] <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?
[14:00] <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 :(
[14:03] <ElderDryas> However you did the customization the first time, you'll have to do it again
[14:04] <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 :)
[14:05] <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 :)
[14:06] <ElderDryas> Panel Preferences>Appearence>Alpha might do what you want
[14:07] <sean-w> That's the problem, alpha isn't listed anymore. Just None, solid color, or use background image.
[14:08] <ElderDryas> you running 11.10B2 ?
[14:09] <sean-w> 11.04
[14:10] <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
[16:47] <sean-w> Hi all. How do I set the system-wide default audio recording device?
[16:56] <GridCube> !audio
[16:56] <GridCube> mmm
[16:56] <GridCube> how weird
[18:23] <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?
[18:25] <viller> :D you're right, it's not. I guess I already got rid of it
[18:26] <viller> it was still on the panel so I got confused
[18:44] <xubuntu344> alguien habla español?
[18:45] <Unit193> !es
[18:47] <GridCube> xubuntu344, :) ven a #xubuntu-es o a #ubuntu-es :D
[18:47] <xubuntu344> muchas gracias
[19:58] <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 ... Th th that's all folks!
[20:02] <GridCube> mikodo, you could also download a png icon and use it for the launcher :P
[20:03] <mikodo> GridCube: I'll look into png icons's.. where ever they are found. The one I got is ugly! .. Thx
