[00:09] dr_jkl, rightclic>panel>add new elements [00:28] Hi, came here looking for help with xubuntu I can't find on web [00:28] you'll have to state the issue and be patient in here sometimes [00:28] !ask [00:28] 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. :-) [00:30] 75 ppl in the channel - must be getting close to the record :) [00:30] first time here, Using a black theme Network monitor very hard to see can I modify? [00:31] right click it and see what comes up [00:31] I think it'll be using the themes colours tho [00:32] gives me choice of colors for bars, but display is dark against black [00:33] sounds like the theme might be not quite right [00:33] using Midnight OSX theme [00:35] I'd just like to see the network progress bars better. Conky is great, but hidden when windows are maxed [00:36] you said you could change the bars colours... [00:37] yeah, changed them to white and off-white, but on the black panel they still show up very dark on black background [00:38] I'd try another theme for now [00:38] maybe someone that's on in a bit will know [00:53] got knocked off, i'm back [00:53] resurrected? [00:55] changed my theme. the network monitor shows ok now- switched to one called aud-Defaule [00:55] Thats default [00:55] great [00:55] the bars for network now show great, but workspaces are black on black [00:57] if no windows open in a workspace I can't see the separation between spaces [00:59] guess I'll just have to live with that for a while and see...thanks for the suggestion well_laid_lawn, bye === XubuntuKris is now known as Portal2Kris === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:19] 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?

[08:59] I think it asks for a path or command, and I don't know how to do that [09:00] bookmarks plugin could do that, but you can also create launchers with command like 'firefox http://ubuntuforums.com' [09:01] Alright guys, I'll give it a try next time ..Thx [09:12] May I know how to add dictionaries to my dictionary in Xubuntu?

[12:42] DanielSenat: from here - http://www.abisource.com/wiki/FaqCreatingPDFs - choose pdf from save as dialog [12:42] cool [13:55] How can I open a ppt file in Xubuntu? [13:57] Open/Libre Office [13:58] 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] sean-w: It depends, how did you "delete" the files/folder? [14:00] rm [14:00] Sorry, they're gone, Jim :( [14:03] However you did the customization the first time, you'll have to do it again [14:04] 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] One fix, one problem. Looks like a wash to me :) [14:05] 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] Yeah, it's just bugging me :) [14:06] Panel Preferences>Appearence>Alpha might do what you want [14:07] That's the problem, alpha isn't listed anymore. Just None, solid color, or use background image. [14:08] you running 11.10B2 ? [14:09] 11.04 [14:10] 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 === Portal2Kris is now known as XubuntuKris [16:47] Hi all. How do I set the system-wide default audio recording device? [16:56] !audio [16:56] mmm [16:56] how weird [16:56] 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. [18:23] how do I remove gmusicbrowser? It's not in the software center and synaptic says it's not installed [18:23] viller: what makes you think it is installed? [18:25] :D you're right, it's not. I guess I already got rid of it [18:26] it was still on the panel so I got confused [18:44] alguien habla español? [18:45] !es [18:45] 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.
