[03:38] <asterismo> http://www.fisica.edu.uy/~sroland/screenshots/Screenshot%20-%2011092011%20-%2001:08:49%20AM.png
[03:39] <coalwater> ok?
[03:40] <coalwater> whats wrong with it
[03:40] <coalwater> selected icon ?
[03:40] <asterismo> yes
[03:40] <asterismo> i would to change the selected color of the window button
[03:41] <asterismo> u see that the text is not easy to read
[03:41] <coalwater> the orange?
[03:41] <asterismo> and the mouse-on color is dark too, think the same color that selected
[03:41] <coalwater> isn't there a gui tool for that?
[03:42] <asterismo> and i was searching in /usr/share/themes/Radiance
[03:42] <asterismo> i dont know
[03:42] <asterismo> there is gtk-2.0 and gtk-3.0 folders and plenty of .css files
[03:43] <asterismo> but dont know where color to change
[03:44] <coalwater> hmm, well gnome has a theme editor, i guess xfce doesn't
[03:45] <coalwater> sadly im on a windows session now, so i cant help
[03:45] <coalwater> hold on let me see if i can pull the themes folders
[03:47] <asterismo> ok
[03:48] <asterismo> oh
[03:48] <asterismo> i just made a mistake on something else regarding XFCE
[03:49] <asterismo> i accidentally dragged the desktop folder to some other folder or some like that
[03:49] <asterismo> now is like my home content is in the desktop
[03:50] <coalwater> u can't move it back ?
[03:50] <asterismo> i'll try
[03:52] <asterismo> something is wrong
[03:52] <coalwater> i could send u my gtkrc file, from gtk 2, u try to do a diff
[03:52] <coalwater> what
[03:56] <asterismo> if i drag the desktop folders and files in to my home, they copy again in the desktop as a "copy of documents"
[04:00] <coalwater> do u want to move ?
[04:01] <coalwater> u could play with the (ctrl,alt,shift) keys, one of them forces move, and one forces copy, the third probably does nothing
[04:02] <asterismo> in my desktop i used to see mi home folder, trash and volumes
[04:02] <asterismo> but in the file-manager
[04:03] <asterismo> i accidentally missdrag the desktop folder to the sidebar to make a shortcut and it moved it into some place else, now in my desktop i have the Pictures, Downloads folder... and so
[04:03] <asterismo> and the Desktop folder loose the desktop folder emblem, its like a regular folder
[04:04] <asterismo> kinda hard to understand
[04:06] <coalwater> hey buddy im sorry but i gotta leave
[04:06] <coalwater> ill be back in an hour
[04:39] <Chacious> hihi
[04:40] <IAmNotThatGuy> Hiyas
[04:40] <Chacious> how u doing in ubuntuland?
[04:41] <IAmNotThatGuy> I am new to Ubuntu. So I am just learning =)
[04:41] <Chacious> cool welcome :)
[04:41] <Chacious> good to see new people coming over to linux
[04:42] <IAmNotThatGuy> how about you Chacious ?
[04:43] <Chacious> im doing good, been using linux for years but getting more into the command line and programming aspects here recently
[04:44] <IAmNotThatGuy> Ah! Thats great. Join #ubuntu-beginners-team so that we can discuss =]
[04:44] <Chacious> whats the diff between this channel and that, is that one more for general talk and this one mainly for help?
[04:45] <IAmNotThatGuy> This channel is for help. That channel is for offtopic. Our discussion falls under offtopic =)
[04:45] <Chacious> k gotacha
[05:39] <Space-Duck> Why can I not find apache in the software center?
[05:39] <Chacious> try searching for apache2
[05:40] <Chacious> logging into my ubuntu desktop to see if i can find it
[05:42] <holstein> interesting
[05:42] <holstein> searching apache in the software center doesnt work, but apache2 does...
[05:42] <Chacious> i found it by searching for apache2 but not apache
[05:42] <holstein> Chacious: yeah... odd right?
[05:42] <Chacious> very
[05:43] <holstein> this is about the 3rd time ive opened the software center though
[05:43] <Chacious> figured it would show up with a search for apache since itso nly 1 character off what it is called when you do a sudo apt-get install
[05:43] <Chacious> its only*
[05:44] <holstein> doesnt seem like its properly drilling down
[05:44] <holstein> wonder where you find/file that bug ;)
[05:44] <bioterror> once again apt-cache search could have been a better tool ;)
[05:45] <holstein> comes right up there :)
[05:48] <coalwater> how do i search using apt-(something)
[05:48] <holstein> apt-cache search whateve
[05:48] <holstein> dont need sudo even
[05:48] <Chacious> never knew about that very handy
[05:48] <coalwater> but that searches my cache folder only?
[05:49] <coalwater> or all available packages even if not installed ?
[05:49] <Chacious> all i assume
[05:49] <coalwater> ok, so assuming in this case we want to find apache, we do apt-cache what?
[05:50] <bioterror> and you can use many words in apt-cache
[05:50] <bioterror> like hmmm
[05:50] <coalwater> apt-cache hmm :D
[05:50] <holstein> yeah, it searches the repositories
[05:51] <bioterror> apt-cache search game rpg
[08:59] <nlsthzn> Anyone here able to confirm/deny the slowness of the Forums at the moment?!
[09:00] <geirha> Doesn't feel slow to me
[09:01] <nlsthzn> geirha: cool thanks... might just be the net on my side, thanks for the assistance...
[14:53] <s-fox> Hello.
[15:02] <hobgoblin> hi s-fox :)
[15:21] <s-fox> Hello hobgoblin .
[15:42] <bdfhjk> hi s-fox
[17:00] <Fanshawe> Hello all. Is there an equivalent of Siri available in Ubuntu?
[17:01] <bdfhjk> hi Fanshawe
[17:01] <bdfhjk> what is it Siri?
[17:02] <Fanshawe> Siri is a personal assistant program which recognises speech commands, and takes notes if you dictate to it
[17:03] <Fanshawe> In fact, just a program that I can speak to and have it take down what I say in text form would be superbly useful to me
[17:03] <Fanshawe> but I don't know whether one exists
[17:04] <bdfhjk> I don't know about program like this
[17:04] <bdfhjk> maybe someone else will know
[17:05] <Fanshawe> Okay. Thank you anyway.
[17:07] <hobgoblin> Fanshawe: a look on the forum is sparse - there was something a year ago - but it doesn't appear to be very flexible
[17:08] <Fanshawe> I'd be willing to test anything.
[17:08] <hobgoblin> not sure if it's anygood for dictation though
[17:09] <hobgoblin> http://www.google.com/cse?cx=012285703143635244993:i9yr8qlpb18&q=speech+dictation+#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=speech%20dictation%20&gsc.page=1
[17:09] <hobgoblin> is the search I run and
[17:09] <hobgoblin> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1509022
[17:09] <hobgoblin> is one I looked at
[17:11] <hobgoblin> Fanshawe: http://sourceforge.net/projects/speech2text/
[17:11] <hobgoblin> another one
[17:11] <Fanshawe> excellent, hobgoblin, I'll try that second one
[17:12] <hobgoblin> well I hope it works for you :)

[17:55] <Fanshawe> someone help me with this dependency issue
[17:55] <Fanshawe> please
[17:56] <Fanshawe> Error: Cannot install 'libqt4-multimedia'
[17:57] <Fanshawe> Oh right, it's not installed
[17:57] <Fanshawe> okay, trying again

[17:58] <Fanshawe> gah
[17:58] <Fanshawe> they are installed
[18:20] <geirha> Fanshawe: Hm. Is that package from a third-party repository/PPA? At any rate, make sure to run ''sudo apt-get update'' first, and check the output for any failures.
[18:33] <Fanshawe> got it, geirha, doing so now
[18:34] <Fanshawe> no errors
[18:37] <Fanshawe> root@user-900:/home/user# sudo apt-get install libqt4-multimedia

[18:37] <Fanshawe> Reading state information... Done
[18:37] <Fanshawe> Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
[18:37] <Fanshawe> requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
[18:37] <Fanshawe> distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
[18:37] <Fanshawe> or been moved out of Incoming.
[18:37] <Fanshawe> The following information may help to resolve the situation:
[18:37] <Fanshawe> The following packages have unmet dependencies.

[18:39] <Fanshawe> running update manager
[18:40] <hobgoblin> if you've got broken packages it'll probably fail
[18:41] <hobgoblin> if necessary - either go to synaptic and fix broken packages or in terminal sudo apt-get install -f
[18:41] <Fanshawe> what do you mean 'broken packages'?
[18:41] <hobgoblin> E: Broken packages
[18:41] <Fanshawe> yeah, but what does that mean?
[18:42] <hobgoblin> it's the dependencies afaik
[19:05] <lalatenduM> Fanshaw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto#How_to_fix_broken_packages
[19:08] <Fanshawe> That's alright, I've got it. An update solved the problem, and I've installed the package.
[19:08] <Fanshawe> I'm not configuring Simon as we speak.
