| SMJ | so, can I rotate my screen in Xfce? | 05:29 |
|---|---|---|
| well_laid_lawn | SMJ: sure you can | 05:39 |
| well_laid_lawn | you can do it from the command line with xrandr | 05:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | or use a gui like arandr | 05:40 |

| Craig_E | is there discussion anywhere that any of you know of regarding the bluetooth issues in OO I can follow? | 12:47 |
| focalt | yo | 13:30 |
| focalt | guys does anyone is having bad windows display after last update? | 13:31 |
| focalt | charlie-tca, you there? hi :) | 13:42 |
| charlie-tca | Hello, focalt | 13:42 |
| focalt | I made a fresh harddisk install of xubuntu lucid 64bit | 13:43 |
| focalt | and also allowed the latests updates to take place | 13:43 |
| focalt | one of them was xorg something | 13:43 |
| focalt | and since then, I have bad windows displaying | 13:44 |
| focalt | what's wrong? I guess it has to do with X... | 13:44 |
| charlie-tca | What does bad windows mean? | 13:44 |
| focalt | when I drag them around | 13:44 |
| focalt | or scroll down | 13:45 |
| charlie-tca | are they twisted, wrong color, no title bar, no menu? | 13:45 |
| focalt | the content when scrolled down has "bad framerate" | 13:45 |
| focalt | also when I drag them around | 13:46 |
| focalt | while browsing it kind of anoying, cause you are reading and you loose text reading flow... | 13:46 |
| charlie-tca | bad framerate is video card related. Either it needs the hardware drivers, or it is going bad. | 13:49 |
| focalt | charlie-tca, but the strange is, when I open a .pdf for example | 13:57 |
| focalt | it scrolls smooth | 13:58 |
| focalt | but not on browser or windows manager | 13:58 |
| charlie-tca | Different apps use different methods to manage the video | 13:59 |
| focalt | I'll ask #xorg guys what they think | 13:59 |
| joris | When is the release candidate for oneiric expected? | 14:37 |
| charlie-tca | It isn't | 14:43 |
| charlie-tca | We will have final candidates next week, with the final release on Thursday, October 13 | 14:43 |
| joris | ah ok, is the beta stable enough? | 14:44 |
| charlie-tca | No, the dailies should be though | 14:44 |
| charlie-tca | !daily | 14:44 |
| charlie-tca | !daily | 14:44 |
| charlie-tca | well, anyway... | 14:45 |
| joris | :) | 14:45 |
| joris | I should be able to google that... | 14:45 |
| charlie-tca | http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/current/ | 14:45 |
| joris | cool thanks | 14:45 |
| charlie-tca | you are welcome | 14:45 |

| charlie-tca | lol | 14:46 |
| charlie-tca | a little bit slow | 14:47 |
| joris | :) | 14:47 |
| joris | off to install xubuntu and hope to get some sanity back on my desktop... ;) | 15:03 |

| ElderDryas | A quick question (of no real significance, just curiosity): Is the LDM login by default on the left side of the screen? | 15:08 |
| charlie-tca | in Ubuntu it is, In Xubuntu, it should be centered | 15:11 |
| ElderDryas | hmmm, lemme see what I using :) | 15:11 |
| ElderDryas | nope, looks like Xubuntu to me | 15:12 |
| charlie-tca | If you upgrade, you might have gotten unity-greeter, which will be on the left | 15:12 |
| ElderDryas | I used update-manager -d (or whatever the command really was) | 15:12 |
| charlie-tca | That's upgrade from 11.04, so yes, it is on the left. | 15:13 |
| ElderDryas | Maybe that is why Ubuntu Tweak says I'm using GNOME 2.32.1 Ubuntu 2011-04-14 as my DE | 15:14 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know that one | 15:15 |
| charlie-tca | you can install lightdm-gtk-greeter to replace unity-greeter and get the Xubuntu lightdm theme | 15:15 |
| ElderDryas | Ah, I think I'll wait for the release and just do a re-install | 15:16 |
| charlie-tca | That works too, or grab the daily starting monday and do the re-install | 15:16 |
| ElderDryas | I WANT to compete with everyone for server access immediately after the release :) | 15:17 |
| ElderDryas | hmm...says lightdm-gtk-greeter is installed. Any way to make that the default | 15:19 |
| charlie-tca | Well then waiting it the correct way to do it :) | 15:19 |
| charlie-tca | I think 'dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' or 'dpkg-reconfigure lightdm-unity-gtk-greeter', but I won't promise it works | 15:20 |
| mario__ | HI EVERYBODY! | 15:46 |
| ElderDryas | Well, that didn't work :( | 15:46 |
| ElderDryas | charlie-tca, Any reason to wait for Monday's daily build (as opposed to today's)? | 15:47 |
| mario__ | Hey, guys, where can i thank the main developers of xubuntu? i'm very happy with it | 15:48 |
| === xGrind is now known as xGrind-off | ||

| mecklen | I'm looking for a menu editor for xubuntu (11.04). I know xubuntu folks recommend alacarte, but apt-get says that it will install 88 new packages, consuming 60MB of disk (including evolution-data-server and gnome-power-manager). Isn't there something more lightweight and Xubuntu-ish? Thanks for any suggestions. | 17:18 |
| m6locks | synaptic didn't produce any search results? | 17:19 |
| charlie-tca | mecklen: For Xfce 4.8, 'sudo apt-get install alacarte --no-install-recommends' in a terminal will let you use an editor to change the menus. | 17:19 |
| m6locks | not that i ever needed to edit any menus... | 17:19 |
| Sysi | copy .desktop file(s) from /usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications and add NoDisplay=true to item you want to hide | 17:20 |
| xaris | Hello all | 17:21 |
| mecklen | charlie-tca: Works like a charm! Thank you! | 17:21 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 17:21 |
| xaris | how can i switch menu language to Greek? | 17:21 |
| TheSheep | xaris: you can select your language at the login screen | 17:27 |
| xaris | TheSheep i log in automatical | 17:48 |
| xaris | i installed glome-language selector but no luck | 17:48 |
| TheSheep | xaris: well, then log out, log in setting the language, and it will remember it | 17:52 |
| xaris | i do it i installed greek and i put them to first line but nothing changed | 17:52 |
| ronsonol | Is it possible to list directories by reference to filesystem device? "ls /dev/sdb2" doesn't get you there. | 18:18 |
| XubuntuKris | open a shell into the device | 18:20 |
| XubuntuKris | I don't remember how right off hand though | 18:20 |
| XubuntuKris | then just "ls -a" once inside | 18:20 |
| ronsonol | Purpose is, want to write a script to output file listing contents of thumb drive without having to know the name of the volume, just where it's plugged in. | 18:21 |
| XubuntuKris | ronsonol, is it a thumb drive? | 18:21 |
| XubuntuKris | nvm | 18:21 |
| XubuntuKris | lol | 18:21 |
| XubuntuKris | should be possible...google it.lol | 18:21 |
| ronsonol | Yeah, I was not sure what *terms* to search. | 18:22 |
| Sysi | ls /media/*/ ? | 18:22 |
| XubuntuKris | he want's to do it without knowing the name of the device.. | 18:22 |
| Sysi | that's why * | 18:22 |
| XubuntuKris | just the location | 18:22 |
| XubuntuKris | What if there are multiple devices mounted in /media? | 18:22 |
| ronsonol | Sysi that would probably work. Kinda greedy. | 18:23 |
| XubuntuKris | that would list all of them | 18:23 |
| XubuntuKris | who know's which is which | 18:23 |
| Sysi | or just fail | 18:23 |
| XubuntuKris | it failed for me | 18:23 |
| XubuntuKris | ls: cannot access /media | 18:24 |
| Sysi | works for me, with one stick | 18:24 |
| XubuntuKris | brb | 18:24 |
| charlie-tca | It would depend on having the device(s) actually mounted in /media | 18:24 |
| Sysi | with two it shows partition names too | 18:25 |
| ronsonol | charlie-tca that's where they tend to automount tho. | 18:25 |
| ronsonol | I guess it's an academic thing now, but I am curious if there's a way to do it on the basis of device location. | 18:26 |
| XubuntuKris | dude. just do lsusb | 18:27 |
| XubuntuKris | nvm, that just lists the devices that are mounted | 18:27 |
| Sysi | mount and some grep.. if there isn't some nice way | 18:28 |
| * ronsonol mans lsusb | 18:28 | |
| ronsonol | okay, I'm gonna go hack away at this. FWIW, ultimate aim regards http://www.deaddrops.com -- jack into a dead drop, dump the directory, upload that to another dead drop to say what's over there. | 18:32 |
| raevol | i'm trying to figure out why firefox/xubuntu is chugging so hard on my netbook | 19:48 |
| raevol | could it be because i have no swap? | 19:48 |
| Sysi | how much ram, what cpy, what websites? | 19:49 |
| raevol | i've got 2 tabs open, gmail and facebook, i know those are javascript heavy, but i wouldn't think they'd slow to a crawl like they do | 19:49 |
| Sysi | *cpu | 19:49 |
| Sysi | open taskmanager and see cpu usage | 19:49 |
| raevol | using ~400megs of 1 gig of ram | 19:49 |
| Sysi | also what firefox version? | 19:49 |
| raevol | processor is a 1.6ghz intem atom | 19:49 |
| raevol | firefox 7.0.1 | 19:49 |
| raevol | cpu is showing 2 cores which seems innacurate, but they are fluctuating between 20-70% | 19:50 |
| raevol | they're both caping ouut when i browse pages on facebook | 19:51 |
| raevol | is facebook really that cpu intensive? | 19:51 |
| Sysi | I think it is | 19:51 |
| Sysi | you could try mobile page.. and adblock | 19:51 |
| raevol | using adblock | 19:52 |
| Sysi | try taking it off | 19:52 |
| charlie-tca | add the swapfile, it will make a world of difference | 19:52 |
| Sysi | not on atom.. maybe if it's new one | 19:53 |
| raevol | it's an eeepc 901 | 19:54 |
| raevol | disabling flash helped some | 19:55 |
| Sysi | you could try chromium, even if FF7 is fast | 19:56 |
| raevol | chromium is fast, but it hogs too much memory, i recently switched off of it | 19:57 |
| raevol | ah, system monitor is responsible for a lot of cpu usage, haha, just switched to a panel plugin instead | 19:58 |
| viller | I tried changing .xsession in Xubuntu but when I logged out and back in, the .xsession file was not executed | 19:58 |
