| random321 | I'm trying to set up a keyboard shortcut in xubuntu to switch desktops, but I don't know the command to pair with the series of keys. Is there a website with a list of commands like this or something? | 00:51 |

| preecher | will compiz work with xubuntu 11.10? | 01:38 |
| GridCube | preecher, it should, but... | 01:41 |
| GridCube | not easily | 01:41 |
| GridCube | preecher, see question 9 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Website/Top10 | 01:42 |
| preecher | thanks GridCube answered my question---i love xubuntu an kind like the wobbly windows but not bad enough to open a can of worms | 01:42 |
| preecher | so ill just be happy with the xubuntu the way it is since its perfect anyway | 01:43 |
| GridCube | :) | 01:43 |
| phunyguy | it is quite fantastic, isn't it. | 01:43 |
| phunyguy | Just came over from Kubuntu. | 01:44 |
| phunyguy | I love that as well, but it's STILL too buggy. | 01:44 |
| GridCube | :D I do think so, i've been a user since like 07 :D | 01:44 |
| phunyguy | i was on xubuntu off and on, kept leaving, but always find my way back. same also... about '07 | 01:49 |
| GridCube | :) same here | 01:49 |
| preecher | ive used kde but mostly gnome but when unity came about i started distro hopping and continued that up to the 11.10 release and decided xub11.10 was definately the best fit for me | 01:50 |
| GridCube | :) | 01:51 |
| GridCube | i sort of like unity on netbooks and touchscreens, but for desktops? not so much | 01:52 |
| preecher | im a mouser an it seemed to have me going all over but other than that and losing the right click create launcher i guess it was ok | 01:53 |
| preecher | just wasnt perfect for me | 01:53 |
| GridCube | yep | 01:55 |
| phunyguy | it seems as though gstreamer is giving me blue video on all my movies. Nvidia card... any workarounds? | 02:06 |
| GridCube | phunyguy, do you have the proper drivers? | 02:09 |
| GridCube | gksu jockey-gtk | 02:09 |
| GridCube | should launch the driver ma | 02:09 |
| GridCube | nager | 02:09 |
| phunyguy | nvidia-173 | 02:10 |
| phunyguy | probably need to change that =P | 02:10 |
| phunyguy | can you manually change colors in xfce instead of using a theme? | 02:11 |
| phunyguy | or is it a matter of creating a theme.... | 02:11 |
| GridCube | i think its theming yes | 02:11 |
| GridCube | but i dont really know | 02:11 |
| GridCube | ochosi is the master of those aspects | 02:11 |
| phunyguy | fantastic | 02:13 |
| phunyguy | i shall await the response to the nick-ping | 02:13 |
| phunyguy | brb restarting to new driver | 02:14 |
| GridCube | :) | 02:14 |
| GridCube | that was fast :P | 02:15 |
| GridCube | well sleep time :) good luck everybody | 02:16 |
| phunyguy | oh that's much better | 02:17 |
| phunyguy | (as for the speed, Xubuntu + SSD) | 02:17 |
| phunyguy | =D | 02:17 |
| phunyguy | you have GOT to be kidding me. | 02:25 |
| phunyguy | I swore up and down that m browsing issues were KDE related | 02:25 |
| phunyguy | my* | 02:25 |
| phunyguy | it's doing it in Xubuntu as well. | 02:25 |
| phunyguy | it's a DNS issue, sits there saying "Looking up blah.com" | 02:26 |
| phunyguy | but times out. Does that for a minute or so, then starts magically working again. Works for about 5 minutes, then does it again. | 02:27 |
| phunyguy | meanwhile my torrents are flying. (before it starts, they are legal.) | 02:28 |
| mxed | phunyguy, try to use opendns or googledns, i have the same problem as you not sure what is about bq like you my torrents, skype and other things work perfect, | 02:32 |
| mxed | but sometimes the web and http just stopes to work | 02:33 |
| mxed | and i live in sweden with the same problems that you have heh | 02:33 |
| mxed | my conspiration theory is is the wire tappi ng projects our governments works with that cause all trouble heh | 02:34 |
| SiDi | Whats the name of the app used as a bottom panel in the 11.10 release please? | 03:36 |
| holstein | SiDi: the 'dock' ? | 03:37 |
| holstein | thats just another panel | 03:37 |
| jmcantrell | holstein: i thought that was so cool when i came to that realization. it's nice and simple and works just like a "dock" | 03:39 |
| holstein | yeah... nice and light | 03:39 |
| holstein | no extra packages | 03:39 |
| holstein | looks slick | 03:39 |
| SiDi | holstein: ok thanks | 03:40 |
| SiDi | is it a transparent one or something? | 03:40 |
| holstein | SiDi: you can make them transparent if you like | 03:41 |
| holstein | i have only one panel, auto-hiding, and translucent | 03:41 |
| SiDi | hm okey | 03:42 |
| SiDi | was just wondering what they set as a default | 03:42 |

| Unit193 | Yep, it asks that | 04:34 |
| Unit193 | If you already have free, there should be an option to use that | 04:34 |

| Bukowskii | so I use alacarte to edit my menu but some shortcuts dont show up in the edit list, where is the xml file for the menu so i can edit it myself or any ideas? | 05:04 |

| Bukowskii | nevermind | 05:13 |
| Bukowskii | http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/08/04/howto-remove-menu-entries-from-the-system-menu/ answer to my question | 05:14 |
| Sysi | I wonder if that blog is canonical-approved | 06:36 |
| well_laid_lawn | I think the xfce wiki explains it well | 06:37 |
| Sysi | that's wrong way anyway, you should copy them to ~/.local/share/applications first and use gksudo or nano | 06:37 |
| well_laid_lawn | err gksudo for a file in ~ ? | 06:38 |
| Sysi | well no but that guide does even wrong way in a wrong way | 06:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | and the link is to a 2006 howto | 06:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | bit out of date | 06:41 |

| ktwo | Hey, can i use a kernel 2.6.38 driver for kernel 3.0 @ xubuntu? | 06:53 |
| Sysi | you can try compiling it | 06:53 |
| Sysi | ready compiled module propably won't work | 06:54 |
| ktwo | mh ok, and if it does break my current wifi driver how can i revert to the stock driver? | 06:54 |
| ktwo | the thing is my current driver always disconnects after a while | 06:55 |
| ktwo | using the kernel driver for RTL8188CUS | 06:55 |
| ochosi | phunyguy_work: basically you have to switch themes or edit a theme by hand (i.e. change its colors by hand in the gtkrc-file). obviously this can cause problems with some widgets not being displayed properly or readability. and: you'd have to do the same for the gtk3 theme | 07:43 |
| Bixente | we are seeing a migration of Ubuntu users to Xubuntu | 08:13 |
| ktwo | it is understandable after ubuntu has become a netbook distribution | 08:14 |
| Bixente | ktwo, forgive me, but GNOME shell and Unity are faeces. | 08:18 |
| gry | Hello. | 09:08 |
| well_laid_lawn | !hi | 09:09 |
| ubottu | Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 09:09 |
| gry | Are the XFCE "event sounds" documented somewhere, please? A quick search didn't quite help. | 09:14 |
| well_laid_lawn | gry: found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11294899 | 09:31 |
| gry | It doesn't explain what events do the default "event sounds" get triggered by I'm afraid | 09:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | According to xfce developers, xfce doesn't have support for system sounds. See: http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=5702. | 09:39 |
| well_laid_lawn | that's a quote from that link | 09:39 |
| gry | I probably don't want system sounds. It's called "event sounds". | 09:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | same thing afaik | 09:40 |
| gry | I would probably want some documentation to see what they are instead of testing them. And they are an option in a fresh xfce install. | 09:41 |
| gry | (Settings > Appearance > Settings tab > 2 bottom lines.) | 09:41 |
| FusionX | During installation, how do I know what's happening behind the scenes? | 12:55 |

| enno_ | The mute key does work, btw. | 14:15 |

| phunyguy_work | Hey can anyone help me get dual monitors set up on 11.10? I have installed the fglrx drivers from Restricted Drivers manager, now XrandR doesn't do anything. I tried AMD CCC, and when i hit "apply" or "ok" (whatever the button is), the window just immediately dissappears and nothing happens. | 15:54 |
| phunyguy_work | stuck with a cloned display | 15:54 |
| phunyguy_work | xrandr output is xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1600x1600 (desired size 3040x900) | 15:57 |
| TheSheep | !xrandr | 15:59 |
| ubottu | XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 15:59 |
| TheSheep | philipballew: see "II.5. Placing outputs in a virtual screen" on that page | 16:00 |
| phunyguy_work | doh, froze up. | 16:01 |
| phunyguy_work | how can I just remove the stupid restricted driver, and go back to using ubuntu native? | 16:02 |
| philipballew | whats up TheSheep | 16:03 |
| phunyguy_work | nevermind I think I found it | 16:03 |
| phunyguy_work | restarting.... | 16:03 |
| philipballew | oh wait. i see now :) | 16:04 |
| phunyguy_work | well that was easy.... lol | 16:06 |
| phunyguy_work | So everything seems to be working ok, but I have one nagging issue that also appears in other ubuntu flavors, and that is lack of SMB performance (traditional mount or gvfs). Even on 100mb pipe, I can only get about 40% of my possible transfer speed. | 16:50 |
| phunyguy_work | is anyone else experiencing these issues? | 16:50 |
| phunyguy_work | or have they, and is there a fix? | 16:50 |

| falken_ | hi there, can someone tell me how to make the default terminal emulator in xubuntu my preferred terminal emulator? | 17:07 |
| Sysi | settings → default/preferred applications | 17:08 |
| falken_ | but where is it in the file system? | 17:08 |
| Sysi | if it's not on drop-down menu, xfce4-terminal | 17:09 |
| falken_ | it is on the dropdown but it does not run when shosen - instead I am asked to choose my preferred terminal emulator | 17:10 |
| falken_ | I have checked and it is installed still. I have been using it today and for many days before. | 17:10 |
| falken_ | I cannot access the console to set my default preferred console :) | 17:11 |
| falken_ | Sysi, Where is the executable on my system and I can reassociate it? | 17:11 |
| Sysi | wrong/bad solution | 17:12 |
| Sysi | if problem is with panel launcher, remove it and drag terminal there from menu | 17:12 |
| falken_ | No, it does not launch from Panel, from menu dropdown, and for some reason is suddenly not set as my preferred application in Settings>Settings Manager>Preferred Applications | 17:14 |
| falken_ | SO I cannot run Console Emulator at all | 17:14 |
| falken_ | I am about to quietly ragequit xubuntu. I am trying to fix my wifi connection issue for several weeks, and now suddenly without any explanation, my console disappears... :( | 17:19 |
| phunyguy_work | lol @ quietly ragequit.... so much for that | 17:22 |
| madnick | falken_: | 17:23 |
| madnick | create a new launcher | 17:23 |
| phunyguy_work | I just did the same with Kubuntu. But it turns out, the issue wasn't Kubuntu. It is kernel related. | 17:23 |
| madnick | that launches xterm | 17:23 |
| madnick | then from xterm, try to debug the xfce4-terminal thing | 17:23 |
| madnick | acctually just press | 17:23 |
| madnick | alt+f2 | 17:24 |
| madnick | and type xterm | 17:24 |
| madnick | g2g | 17:25 |
| falken_ | Ok so at now I at least i have access to console: thank you! | 17:25 |
| falken_ | But how do I set this as my preferred application so I can use dropdown? | 17:26 |
| Sysi | what "dropdown"? | 17:26 |
| falken_ | the main program list dropdown | 17:27 |
| falken_ | when I select it I get: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/2213/choosepreferredapplicat.png | 17:27 |
| falken_ | I can click to choose a program, but where does the console executable live? | 17:28 |
| Sysi | that menu item does not run terminal binary directly | 17:31 |
| Sysi | didn't you just say terminal is at the dropdown menu? | 17:32 |
| Sysi | if it's not, set it to run command "xfce4-terminal" | 17:33 |
| KrisDouglas | Hello, is it possible to show the file transfer speed in thunar? | 18:16 |
| KrisDouglas | similar to how Nautilus does it I suppose? | 18:16 |

| falken_ | My wireless network keeps dropping and I think I have foind something significant in by startup log: ipw2200: Failed to send SYSTEM_CONFIG: Already sending a command. | 19:01 |
| falken_ | ipw2200 is my wireless card | 19:01 |
| falken_ | I have a thread on ubuntu forum on this, if someone can look: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1881969 | 19:02 |
| _6i | hi guys, i played around with using jack instead of alsa for a couple of apps, and i ended up somehow making my audio-in unusable -> it's so quiet, that even with max input volume in alsa (over 100%) i get only 1 bar when i hit the mic against the desk (for more subtle stimuli there is no indication of any input..); when booting from usb, all works fine | 21:15 |
| _6i | the apps included tuxguitar, audacity, hydrogen, rakarrack | 21:15 |

| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| guidov | yeah.. can't access tty's.. still the main menu.. numlock/capslock still responds though | 23:24 |
| guidov | what does 'nomodeset' do? | 23:24 |
| holstein | hopefully lets you boot in a 'safe graphics mode' kind of | 23:26 |
