ubuntu_So, I'm on the live CD. My last install of Xubuntu was 10.04. What's new and exciting ...02:35
ubuntu_Xubuntu 11.10 CD that is02:35
ubuntu_I had a spin on the Ubuntu 11.10 Live CD ... hmm02:37
ubuntu_How's the Foundation coming along?02:38
ubuntu_If I knew how to change my nick to Mikodo with this live cd I would02:39
ubuntu_Well .... I'll see you ... I'm off to look around in xubuntu 11.1002:41
ubuntu_I see Pastebinit is included in the install. I was reading from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pastebinit where it gives an example of cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | pastebinit03:07
ubuntu_Where is the vertical line on a keyboard?03:08
ubuntu_Oh, I found it || ... Sorry03:10
zushow can i move this bottom pannel to the RIGHT of the screen? currently it only moves to left and bottom?03:40
xubuntu937есть кто?05:15
darenware there multiple monitor experts here?05:36
well_laid_lawnthe bot knows05:38
well_laid_lawn!xrandr05:38
ubottuXRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.  Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR1205:38
darenwI was using Ubuntu just fine on two monitors - there was a setting window to turn off cloning and arrange the monitors left/right.05:39
darenwNow I just added xubuntu (good riddance Unity) and can't find how to turn off cloning and otherwise tweak multiple monitors05:40
well_laid_lawnxfce is a bit lighter than gnome and you have to set some things up manually05:40
well_laid_lawnsome ppl prefer that05:40
preecheri do-)05:41
darenwI like Arch with icewm, very light, but decided "just works" and less time on tweaking things was more important05:41
darenwand couldn't get printing and other things to work on arch.  Ubuntu does everything fine "out of the box" but gnome/unity sux05:42
Epsilonultraany linux(terminal) pros here05:43
Epsilonultrai'm only semi new to linux bash but could use a tutorial05:43
well_laid_lawnthere's plenty on the net05:44
well_laid_lawnbut what do you want to know first?05:44
darenwi've used bash or other shells since the 1980s.  no one is ever really expert though, just gradually less ignorant over time.05:44
well_laid_lawnhere's an easy trick05:45
well_laid_lawn!tab05:45
ubottuYou can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.05:45
darenwSeems like Settings -> Settings Manager -> Display ought to have something for dealing with multiple monitors...05:48
well_laid_lawnI don't do multiple monitors but afaik you find the xrandr command that works for you and add it to autostart apps05:50
jarnosdarenw, yes, but you could install arandr to have more power over it.05:50
darenwwhat's this new-fangled arandr?05:50
well_laid_lawn!info arandr05:51
ubottuarandr (source: arandr): Simple visual front end for XRandR. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.4-1 (oneiric), package size 48 kB, installed size 376 kB05:51
darenwis that what regular ubuntu uses for as GUI tool to set up multi-monitors?05:52
jarnosdarenw, no05:52
darenwi wonder what it does use? something custom made by canonical?05:53
darenwapt-getting the arandr....05:54
darenwwhoo-hoo!  two monitors working fine as one big desktop. wild out of control success!05:55
* well_laid_lawn cheers05:59
ktwohi, anyone had problems with the WiFi and /or notification on xubuntu? sometimes im getting disconnected and am not able to reconnect to Wifi07:30
ktwoonly the removal / reinsertion of the usb stick helps07:31
well_laid_lawncheck dmesg in a terminal07:41
ktwoa lot of these: [  138.050179] wlan2: direct probe to 98:0c:82:3b:6f:6a timed out07:45
ktwohas something changed in wlan stuff compared to 11.04?07:46
ktwobecause before i never had these07:46
ktwoin 11.04 i did have to install the realtek driver manually, now it was recognized automatically , maybe that?07:47
peter-sdlkfjadThere is no sound for my user account. A dummy account works fine. Does anyone have solutions for this specific problem?08:50
well_laid_lawnis your user in the audio group?09:01

zniavre(im sorry i can't find word in english ...13:38
lordjj_zniavre  try: right click panel > panel preferences > items,  use the up and down arrow icons to move stuff13:38
lordjj_It seems only the power button is misplaced, right?13:39
zniavrelordjj_ not that way let me try again > icons on left side should be in right side but only on the indicator-plugin wich is on right side of the panel13:39
zniavrethat right and volume and date-time (if any)13:40
lordjj_well the volume, messaging, and wifi are in correct order13:40
zniavreit should be from the right > power>volume>envelopp >wifi > dropbox13:40

sambroin xubuntu, how do i set which desktop is default when i login?15:54
tsaavikhey all, like many others (i'm sure) I've recently scurried over to xubuntu. Can anyone recommend a 'style' (theme) that works well? I'm using NOX, and it ALMOST works, I just can't tell which tab is active in a gnome-terminal. Thanks!16:02
Sysigreybird is nice16:02
tsaavikSysi: Awesome, thanks! I can see the active tabs now :D Now I just have to get used to the bright white non-goth look, lol. :D16:04

Andres-kainany .gdsII editor that anybody can recomend?21:17
knomeAndres-kain, i think your best friend might be "gdsii ubuntu" :) that gives at least some resources...21:19
Andres-kainknome, I don't understand.21:20
knomeAndres-kain, i can't recommend any editors. you might want to check google21:21
Andres-kaintried that, it refers me to projects that seem dataed.21:21
knomemmh, i searched the ubuntu repositories for "gds" and i didn't get any results21:22
Andres-kainwas hoping someone here was using something like that.21:22
knomemmh21:22
Andres-kainelectric is one. but no mention on gds that is true.21:23
knomesince xubuntu shares repositories with ubuntu, you could ask #ubuntu too, i think...21:23
knome(more people there, so better possibilities to catch someone who uses something like that)21:24
Andres-kainthanks! good idea!21:27
ZacariasWhat does the "old" (as oposed to "linux" mean in a yaboot prompt?21:28
njokwhat's a good theme for xubuntu, i like greybird but the color of the context menu is too dark,..21:31
knomenjok, no other theme supports gtk3 as well, but you could try bluebird and albatross too21:32
knomenjok, (greybird is based on bluebird)21:32
njokok, i'm going slowly through all of them :)21:33
knomenjok, at least in natty, wildbush made your session go nuts, so better watch out21:34
charlie-tcaGreybird is the only gtk2 and gtk3 theme21:35
charlie-tcaclearlooks works, but will make any gtk3 app look weird21:35
ZacariasIs it Xubuntu 11.10 using Gnome 3-2-0? Shouldn' it be using Xfce?21:43
knomeZacarias, it is not21:44
Zacariasknome: that's what the System Monitor is saying (Linux 2.6.38-powerpc, GNOME 3.2.0)21:45
knomeZacarias, that's because the system monitor is a gnome application, and the libraries it uses are from gnome 3.2.021:46
Zacariasknome, ok!21:46
larryniHi. I installed Xubuntu 11.10 earlier and can't connect to remote shares through Thunar or Gigolo. Gigolo says that it only supports Unix Device (file) protocol. Any ideas?22:00
knome!info gvfs-backends22:01
ubottugvfs-backends (source: gvfs): userspace virtual filesystem - backends. In component main, is optional. Version 1.10.0-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 343 kB, installed size 1168 kB22:01
Unit193I think you may be looking for gvfs.... ^^^22:02
knomelarryni, install that22:02
larryniCheers. I checked earlier that gvfs was installed, never saw gvfs-backends! Off to try this.22:04
larryniThanks guys, that did the trick :)22:09
ZacariasAfter lots of problems with the heaviness of 11.04 and the booting process (yaboot for ppc) with 11.10, I reinstalled 10.04 (maybe upgrade to 10.10). What do I loose?23:06
Andres-kainleafpad?23:08
ZacariasAndres-kain: that's for me? I'll loose leafpad? And is it important?23:12
Andres-kainXD no. not important. i do not think.23:13
Andres-kainyou can always install it.23:14
Andres-kainzacarias editor by default was mousepad i think.23:14
ZacariasYes, I think so23:15
Unit193Mousepad was default, and an older version of Xfce23:15
Andres-kainbye!23:27
babblehey everyone -23:51
babbleI've been backing up my system directories following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR23:51
babbleafter I borked something this afternoon, I tried restoring from my latest system backup to end up in a grub prompt instead of the usual grub loader; following the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 to do a fresh install of grub (i.e. grub-install --boot-directory=/media/xubuntu /dev/sda) still dropped me to a grub prompt instead of booting to a desktop.23:53
babblehas Xubuntu done something I need to be aware of wrt to the usual Grub installation?23:54
