[00:01] devilspie already did the trick :) [00:01] thanks again [00:01] bye [00:04] Still can't make NumLock to turn on after log-in [00:05] it doesn't work even with crontab [00:06] where can i add this command in 11.10 so it will work in Xubuntu 11.10 ? /usr/bin/numlockx on [00:06] the command works when i do it in terminal but it doesn't when added to a crontab file [00:07] NumLock is on only in the login screen but then it turns off after login [00:09] cpu usage monitor seems to indicate high cpu usage in Xubuntu 11.10. Didn't see such percentages in Ubuntu 10.04 [00:56] help [00:57] is there anyone there that can help me [00:57] clear [00:57] exit [02:35] So, I'm on the live CD. My last install of Xubuntu was 10.04. What's new and exciting ... [02:35] Xubuntu 11.10 CD that is [02:37] I had a spin on the Ubuntu 11.10 Live CD ... hmm [02:38] How's the Foundation coming along? [02:39] If I knew how to change my nick to Mikodo with this live cd I would [02:41] Well .... I'll see you ... I'm off to look around in xubuntu 11.10 [03:07] 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 | pastebinit [03:08] Where is the vertical line on a keyboard? [03:10] Oh, I found it || ... Sorry [03:40] how can i move this bottom pannel to the RIGHT of the screen? currently it only moves to left and bottom? [05:15] есть кто? [05:36] are there multiple monitor experts here? [05:38] the bot knows [05:38] !xrandr [05:38] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [05:39] I was using Ubuntu just fine on two monitors - there was a setting window to turn off cloning and arrange the monitors left/right. [05:40] Now I just added xubuntu (good riddance Unity) and can't find how to turn off cloning and otherwise tweak multiple monitors [05:40] xfce is a bit lighter than gnome and you have to set some things up manually [05:40] some ppl prefer that [05:41] i do-) [05:41] I like Arch with icewm, very light, but decided "just works" and less time on tweaking things was more important [05:42] and couldn't get printing and other things to work on arch. Ubuntu does everything fine "out of the box" but gnome/unity sux [05:43] any linux(terminal) pros here [05:43] i'm only semi new to linux bash but could use a tutorial [05:44] there's plenty on the net [05:44] but what do you want to know first? [05:44] i've used bash or other shells since the 1980s. no one is ever really expert though, just gradually less ignorant over time. [05:45] here's an easy trick [05:45] !tab [05:45] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:48] Seems like Settings -> Settings Manager -> Display ought to have something for dealing with multiple monitors... [05:50] I don't do multiple monitors but afaik you find the xrandr command that works for you and add it to autostart apps [05:50] darenw, yes, but you could install arandr to have more power over it. [05:50] what's this new-fangled arandr? [05:51] !info arandr [05:51] arandr (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 kB [05:52] is that what regular ubuntu uses for as GUI tool to set up multi-monitors? [05:52] darenw, no [05:53] i wonder what it does use? something custom made by canonical? [05:54] apt-getting the arandr.... [05:55] whoo-hoo! two monitors working fine as one big desktop. wild out of control success! [05:59] * well_laid_lawn cheers [07:30] hi, anyone had problems with the WiFi and /or notification on xubuntu? sometimes im getting disconnected and am not able to reconnect to Wifi [07:31] only the removal / reinsertion of the usb stick helps [07:41] check dmesg in a terminal [07:45] a lot of these: [ 138.050179] wlan2: direct probe to 98:0c:82:3b:6f:6a timed out [07:46] has something changed in wlan stuff compared to 11.04? [07:46] because before i never had these [07:47] in 11.04 i did have to install the realtek driver manually, now it was recognized automatically , maybe that? [08:50] There is no sound for my user account. A dummy account works fine. Does anyone have solutions for this specific problem? [09:01] is your user in the audio group? [10:01] hello all! [10:02] I have a little problem with libreoffice on xubuntu [10:02] the tool letter size is very small! How can I edit?

[10:50] where can i report this "bug" if ever it's one [10:50] ? [10:55] I have a little problem with libreoffice on xubuntu. [10:55] the tool letter size is very small! How can I edit? [12:30] How can change the icon for a custom launcher on the panel? [12:31] Never mind :P [13:10] good afternoon (again) [13:10] any idea about the indicator-plugin for xfce4-panel that is in reverse display ? [13:10] should i report a bug ? [13:11] (just want to know if it's my config gnome+xfce-panel or real bug ) [13:34] zinavre "reverse"? [13:34] zniavre "reverse"?

[13:38] zniavre try: right click panel > panel preferences > items, use the up and down arrow icons to move stuff [13:39] It seems only the power button is misplaced, right? [13:39] lordjj_ 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 panel [13:40] that right and volume and date-time (if any) [13:40] well the volume, messaging, and wifi are in correct order [13:40] it should be from the right > power>volume>envelopp >wifi > dropbox [13:41] envelopp is messaging you are right sorry [13:41] for me, the order is from right: power, wifi, envelope, sound [13:41] ho ? are you using xfce 11.10 ? [13:42] and the power button is not part of the indicator plugin, yes xfce 11.10 [13:42] *xubuntu 11.10, xfce 4 :P [13:42] power is not a part of indicator-plugin ? [13:42] the power button is part of another item, not indicator-plugin [13:42] ho ... [13:43] maybe it's due to my strange config [13:43] gnome+xfcepanel [13:43] try moving the session menu item the way i told you [13:44] "session menu" or something like that (session, shurdown, etc maybe) [13:45] session menu is stuck with all the indicators [13:45] not that way on my panel [13:45] well I have to go [13:45] :o( [13:45] thank you answering [13:45] try the panel preferences > items > arrows and experiment with moving stuff [13:46] also try to restart the panel in case its stuck (run and see: xfce4-panel --help ) [13:47] i restarted it few time already (using it since yesterday) [13:47] ho leaving ...

[15:54] in xubuntu, how do i set which desktop is default when i login? [16:02] hey 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] greybird is nice [16:04] Sysi: 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. :D [16:17] what directory are the xubuntu desktop wallpapers in? [16:44] he doest somebody know a way to get a split screen in thunar, similar to F3 in nautilus? [16:45] joris: you can't [16:46] hmmm... ok [17:15] oi [17:29] how do I turn off the "Guest Account" that is automatically placed on the longin screen to xubuntu? [17:30] roxx: http://ftbeowulf.wordpress.com/2011/10/19/how-to-disable-the-ubuntu-11-10-guest-session/ [17:32] charlie-tca: Thanks! [17:32] charlie-tca, thanks too :P [17:32] I wish I could've got autologin working [17:32] I'll check config.. [17:33] bye! [17:39] whee, just little tweaking [17:39] some lightdm stuff could go on the new website, once we get that published [17:39] that reminds me, i should fix things [17:39] meh [18:29] When I ctrl-alt-Fn1 and then back to X with ctrl-alt-Fn7 I get a black screen with wite cursor. If I highlight squares with the mouse, the squares redraw my screen. What gives? [18:30] I'm running compiz with --indirect-rendering --replace [18:31] It's ok without compiz [18:31] GForce 7900 GT/GTO [18:50] xfce-radio-plugin is broken i think keep crashing [21:17] any .gdsII editor that anybody can recomend? [21:19] Andres-kain, i think your best friend might be "gdsii ubuntu" :) that gives at least some resources... [21:20] knome, I don't understand. [21:21] Andres-kain, i can't recommend any editors. you might want to check google [21:21] tried that, it refers me to projects that seem dataed. [21:22] mmh, i searched the ubuntu repositories for "gds" and i didn't get any results [21:22] was hoping someone here was using something like that. [21:22] mmh [21:23] electric is one. but no mention on gds that is true. [21:23] since xubuntu shares repositories with ubuntu, you could ask #ubuntu too, i think... [21:24] (more people there, so better possibilities to catch someone who uses something like that) [21:27] thanks! good idea! [21:28] What does the "old" (as oposed to "linux" mean in a yaboot prompt? [21:31] what's a good theme for xubuntu, i like greybird but the color of the context menu is too dark,.. [21:32] njok, no other theme supports gtk3 as well, but you could try bluebird and albatross too [21:32] njok, (greybird is based on bluebird) [21:33] ok, i'm going slowly through all of them :) [21:34] njok, at least in natty, wildbush made your session go nuts, so better watch out [21:35] Greybird is the only gtk2 and gtk3 theme [21:35] clearlooks works, but will make any gtk3 app look weird [21:43] Is it Xubuntu 11.10 using Gnome 3-2-0? Shouldn' it be using Xfce? [21:44] Zacarias, it is not [21:45] knome: that's what the System Monitor is saying (Linux 2.6.38-powerpc, GNOME 3.2.0) [21:46] Zacarias, that's because the system monitor is a gnome application, and the libraries it uses are from gnome 3.2.0 [21:46] knome, ok! [22:00] Hi. 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?

I checked earlier that gvfs was installed, never saw gvfs-backends! Off to try this. [22:09] Thanks guys, that did the trick :) [23:06] After 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? [23:08] leafpad? [23:12] Andres-kain: that's for me? I'll loose leafpad? And is it important? [23:13] XD no. not important. i do not think. [23:14] you can always install it. [23:14] zacarias editor by default was mousepad i think. [23:15] Yes, I think so [23:15] Mousepad was default, and an older version of Xfce [23:27] bye! [23:51] hey everyone - [23:51] I've been backing up my system directories following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR [23:53] after 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. [23:54] has Xubuntu done something I need to be aware of wrt to the usual Grub installation?
