[00:01] <Artemis3> antnash, this might help: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/xubuntu-desktop
[00:01] <antnash> you diamond!
[00:51] <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?
[00:52] <Artemis3> ctrl alt arrows?
[00:52] <random321> can I not change that?
[00:54] <random321> Ah whatever, that works, thank you.

[01:38] <preecher> will compiz work with xubuntu 11.10?
[01:41] <GridCube> preecher, it should, but...
[01:41] <GridCube> not easily
[01:42] <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
[01:43] <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.
[01:44] <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
[01:49] <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
[01:50] <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
[01:51] <GridCube> :)
[01:52] <GridCube> i sort of like unity on netbooks and touchscreens, but for desktops? not so much
[01:53] <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
[01:55] <GridCube> yep
[02:06] <phunyguy> it seems as though gstreamer is giving me blue video on all my movies.  Nvidia card... any workarounds?
[02:09] <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
[02:10] <phunyguy> nvidia-173
[02:10] <phunyguy> probably need to change that =P
[02:11] <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
[02:13] <phunyguy> fantastic
[02:13] <phunyguy> i shall await the response to the nick-ping
[02:14] <phunyguy> brb restarting to new driver
[02:14] <GridCube> :)
[02:15] <GridCube> that was fast :P
[02:16] <GridCube> well sleep time :) good luck everybody
[02:17] <phunyguy> oh that's much better
[02:17] <phunyguy> (as for the speed, Xubuntu + SSD)
[02:17] <phunyguy> =D
[02:25] <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.
[02:26] <phunyguy> it's a DNS issue, sits there saying "Looking up blah.com"
[02:27] <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.
[02:28] <phunyguy> meanwhile my torrents are flying.  (before it starts, they are legal.)
[02:32] <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,
[02:33] <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
[02:34] <mxed> my conspiration theory is is the wire tappi ng projects our governments works with that cause all trouble heh
[03:36] <SiDi> Whats the name of the app used as a bottom panel in the 11.10 release please?
[03:37] <holstein> SiDi: the 'dock' ?
[03:37] <holstein> thats just another panel
[03:39] <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
[03:40] <SiDi> holstein: ok thanks
[03:40] <SiDi> is it a transparent one or something?
[03:41] <holstein> SiDi: you can make them transparent if you like
[03:41] <holstein> i have only one panel, auto-hiding, and translucent
[03:42] <SiDi> hm okey
[03:42] <SiDi> was just wondering what they set as a default
[04:20] <w30> join ##vicesta
[04:24] <kirua> what is that channel about ?
[04:25] <kirua> or you made a mistake ;)
[04:27] <Unit193> It's a mistype, but you can /topic it ;)
[04:31] <Unit193> !pm | kirua
[04:32] <Unit193> kirua: It should be able to "Install alongside $other-os"
[04:33] <kirua> yeah but it's going to let me resize a partition that already exists, right ?
[04:34] <Unit193> Yep, it asks that
[04:34] <Unit193> If you already have free, there should be an option to use that
[04:35] <kirua> "use largest free space avalaible" or something like that ?
[04:37] <Unit193> Yeah, you should be able to backout if it doesn't look right
[05:04] <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?
[05:05] <Bukowskii> i want to move/remove the mail reader, about xfce, and help links
[05:13] <Bukowskii> nevermind
[05:14] <Bukowskii> http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/08/04/howto-remove-menu-entries-from-the-system-menu/         answer to my question
[06:36] <Sysi> I wonder if that blog is canonical-approved
[06:37] <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
[06:38] <well_laid_lawn> err gksudo for a file in ~ ?
[06:40] <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
[06:41] <well_laid_lawn> bit out of date
[06:42] <Sysi> could be just that
[06:45] <madnick> lol

[06:46] <madnick> :D
[06:46] <madnick> that was on there :)
[06:46] <madnick> I wonder why he abbandoned the blog
[06:46] <madnick> Seemed like a good blog
[06:53] <ktwo> Hey, can i use a kernel 2.6.38 driver for kernel 3.0 @ xubuntu?
[06:53] <Sysi> you can try compiling it
[06:54] <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?
[06:55] <ktwo> the thing is my current driver always disconnects after a while
[06:55] <ktwo> using the kernel driver for RTL8188CUS
[07:43] <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
[08:13] <Bixente> we are seeing a migration of Ubuntu users to Xubuntu
[08:14] <ktwo> it is understandable after ubuntu has become a netbook distribution
[08:18] <Bixente> ktwo, forgive me, but GNOME shell and Unity are faeces.
[09:08] <gry> Hello.
[09:09] <well_laid_lawn> !hi
[09:14] <gry> Are the XFCE "event sounds" documented somewhere, please? A quick search didn't quite help.
[09:31] <well_laid_lawn> gry: found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11294899
[09:35] <gry> It doesn't explain what events do the default "event sounds" get triggered by I'm afraid
[09:39] <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
[09:40] <gry> I probably don't want system sounds. It's called "event sounds".
[09:40] <well_laid_lawn> same thing afaik
[09:41] <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.)
[12:55] <FusionX> During installation, how do I know what's happening behind the scenes?

[14:12] <enno_> A few days ago, I switched from ubuntu to xubuntu, and now I notice that the volume buttons on my keyboard have no effect. They did work in ubuntu.
[14:14] <enno_> I have US international keyboard, with a euro symbol. set up with dead keys, just like i did in ubuntu.
[14:15] <enno_> The mute key does work, btw.
[14:15] <Sysi> enno_: settings → keyboard → hotkeys, command is amixer -q set MAster 5%+ (5%- for lowering)
[14:16] <enno_> ok, iĺl try that, brb
[14:24] <enno_> no effect yet, do i need to restart my session for this?
[15:54] <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
[15:57] <phunyguy_work> xrandr output is xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1600x1600 (desired size 3040x900)
[15:59] <TheSheep> !xrandr
[16:00] <TheSheep> philipballew: see "II.5. Placing outputs in a virtual screen" on that page
[16:01] <phunyguy_work> doh, froze up.
[16:02] <phunyguy_work> how can I just remove the stupid restricted driver, and go back to using ubuntu native?
[16:03] <philipballew> whats up TheSheep
[16:03] <phunyguy_work> nevermind I think I found it
[16:03] <phunyguy_work> restarting....
[16:04] <philipballew> oh wait. i see now :)
[16:06] <phunyguy_work> well that was easy....     lol
[16:50] <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?

[17:07] <falken_> hi there, can someone tell me how to make the default terminal emulator in xubuntu my preferred terminal emulator?
[17:08] <Sysi> settings → default/preferred applications
[17:08] <falken_> but where is it in the file system?
[17:09] <Sysi> if it's not on drop-down menu, xfce4-terminal
[17:10] <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.
[17:11] <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?
[17:12] <Sysi> wrong/bad solution
[17:12] <Sysi> if problem is with panel launcher, remove it and drag terminal there from menu
[17:14] <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
[17:19] <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... :(
[17:22] <phunyguy_work> lol @ quietly ragequit....  so much for that
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <madnick> alt+f2
[17:24] <madnick> and type xterm
[17:25] <madnick> g2g
[17:25] <falken_> Ok so at now I at least i have access to console: thank you!
[17:26] <falken_> But how do I set this as my preferred application so I can use dropdown?
[17:26] <Sysi> what "dropdown"?
[17:27] <falken_> the main program list dropdown
[17:27] <falken_> when I select it I get: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/2213/choosepreferredapplicat.png
[17:28] <falken_> I can click to choose a program, but where does the console executable live?
[17:31] <Sysi> that menu item does not run terminal binary directly
[17:32] <Sysi> didn't you just say terminal is at the dropdown menu?
[17:33] <Sysi> if it's not, set it to run command "xfce4-terminal"
[18:16] <KrisDouglas> Hello, is it possible to show the file transfer speed in thunar?
[18:16] <KrisDouglas> similar to how Nautilus does it I suppose?
[18:37] <well_laid_lawn> KrisDouglas: afaik no you can't
[19:01] <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
[19:02] <falken_> I have a thread on ubuntu forum on this, if someone can look: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1881969
[21:15] <_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
[21:16] <_6i> (at least)
[21:16] <_6i> anyone? any ideas?
[21:18] <leeand00> How do I keep my resolv.conf from being overwritten on reboot in XUbuntu 11.10 ? http://askubuntu.com/questions/79969/keep-xubuntu-network-manager-from-overwriting-resolve-conf
[21:26] <leeand00> ?
[22:10] <willvarfar> I've been ignoring warnings that everything is untrusted every time I install or upgrade; I think one of the certs is wrong; is this normal?
[23:22] <guidov> is it normal that the xubuntu live cd ("try ubuntu without installing") takes over 10 minutes to load?
[23:22] <guidov> there is still cdrom activity
[23:23] <guidov> but the screen hasn't changed
[23:23] <holstein> guidov: i wouldnt say normal... i would try the 'nomodeset' option
[23:23] <holstein> you can look around for TTY's
[23:23] <holstein> control+at+F1 F2... etc
[23:24] <guidov> yeah.. can't access tty's.. still the main menu.. numlock/capslock still responds though
[23:24] <guidov> what does 'nomodeset' do?
[23:26] <holstein> hopefully lets you boot in a 'safe graphics mode' kind of
[23:26] <holstein> it wont break anything, but google it if you like
[23:27] <guidov> ok
