[00:01] antnash, this might help: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/xubuntu-desktop [00:01] you diamond! [00:51] 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] ctrl alt arrows? [00:52] can I not change that? [00:54] Ah whatever, that works, thank you. [00:57] random321, window manager settings [01:05] Hello new family :) [01:06] * genii-around sips [01:08] =D [01:17] hows xubuntu perform on 1.3ghz atom netbook compared to kubuntu and ubuntu? i really only need something that will browse web, play youtube, and flashgames [01:22] ram? [01:26] 1GB [01:26] DDR2 SO-DIMM 1GB [01:26] upgradeable to 2... [01:38] will compiz work with xubuntu 11.10? [01:41] preecher, it should, but... [01:41] not easily [01:42] preecher, see question 9 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Website/Top10 [01:42] 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] so ill just be happy with the xubuntu the way it is since its perfect anyway [01:43] :) [01:43] it is quite fantastic, isn't it. [01:44] Just came over from Kubuntu. [01:44] I love that as well, but it's STILL too buggy. [01:44] :D I do think so, i've been a user since like 07 :D [01:49] i was on xubuntu off and on, kept leaving, but always find my way back. same also... about '07 [01:49] :) same here [01:50] 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] :) [01:52] i sort of like unity on netbooks and touchscreens, but for desktops? not so much [01:53] 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] just wasnt perfect for me [01:55] yep [02:06] it seems as though gstreamer is giving me blue video on all my movies. Nvidia card... any workarounds? [02:09] phunyguy, do you have the proper drivers? [02:09] gksu jockey-gtk [02:09] should launch the driver ma [02:09] nager [02:10] nvidia-173 [02:10] probably need to change that =P [02:11] can you manually change colors in xfce instead of using a theme? [02:11] or is it a matter of creating a theme.... [02:11] i think its theming yes [02:11] but i dont really know [02:11] ochosi is the master of those aspects [02:13] fantastic [02:13] i shall await the response to the nick-ping [02:14] brb restarting to new driver [02:14] :) [02:15] that was fast :P [02:16] well sleep time :) good luck everybody [02:17] oh that's much better [02:17] (as for the speed, Xubuntu + SSD) [02:17] =D [02:25] you have GOT to be kidding me. [02:25] I swore up and down that m browsing issues were KDE related [02:25] my* [02:25] it's doing it in Xubuntu as well. [02:26] it's a DNS issue, sits there saying "Looking up blah.com" [02:27] 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] meanwhile my torrents are flying. (before it starts, they are legal.) [02:32] 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] but sometimes the web and http just stopes to work [02:33] and i live in sweden with the same problems that you have heh [02:34] my conspiration theory is is the wire tappi ng projects our governments works with that cause all trouble heh [03:36] Whats the name of the app used as a bottom panel in the 11.10 release please? [03:37] SiDi: the 'dock' ? [03:37] thats just another panel [03:39] 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] yeah... nice and light [03:39] no extra packages [03:39] looks slick [03:40] holstein: ok thanks [03:40] is it a transparent one or something? [03:41] SiDi: you can make them transparent if you like [03:41] i have only one panel, auto-hiding, and translucent [03:42] hm okey [03:42] was just wondering what they set as a default [04:20] join ##vicesta [04:24] what is that channel about ? [04:25] or you made a mistake ;) [04:27] It's a mistype, but you can /topic it ;) [04:31] !pm | kirua [04:31] kirua: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [04:32] kirua: It should be able to "Install alongside $other-os" [04:33] yeah but it's going to let me resize a partition that already exists, right ? [04:34] Yep, it asks that [04:34] If you already have free, there should be an option to use that [04:35] "use largest free space avalaible" or something like that ? [04:37] Yeah, you should be able to backout if it doesn't look right [05:04] 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] i want to move/remove the mail reader, about xfce, and help links [05:13] nevermind [05:14] http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/08/04/howto-remove-menu-entries-from-the-system-menu/ answer to my question [06:36] I wonder if that blog is canonical-approved [06:37] I think the xfce wiki explains it well [06:37] that's wrong way anyway, you should copy them to ~/.local/share/applications first and use gksudo or nano [06:38] err gksudo for a file in ~ ? [06:40] well no but that guide does even wrong way in a wrong way [06:40] and the link is to a 2006 howto [06:41] bit out of date [06:42] could be just that [06:45] lol [06:46] http://xubuntu.org/xubuntu-static/intrepid-countdown/810_countdown_00.png [06:46] :D [06:46] that was on there :) [06:46] I wonder why he abbandoned the blog [06:46] Seemed like a good blog [06:53] Hey, can i use a kernel 2.6.38 driver for kernel 3.0 @ xubuntu? [06:53] you can try compiling it [06:54] ready compiled module propably won't work [06:54] mh ok, and if it does break my current wifi driver how can i revert to the stock driver? [06:55] the thing is my current driver always disconnects after a while [06:55] using the kernel driver for RTL8188CUS [07:43] 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] we are seeing a migration of Ubuntu users to Xubuntu [08:14] it is understandable after ubuntu has become a netbook distribution [08:18] ktwo, forgive me, but GNOME shell and Unity are faeces. [09:08] Hello. [09:09] !hi [09:09] 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! [09:14] Are the XFCE "event sounds" documented somewhere, please? A quick search didn't quite help. [09:31] gry: found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11294899 [09:35] It doesn't explain what events do the default "event sounds" get triggered by I'm afraid [09:39] According to xfce developers, xfce doesn't have support for system sounds. See: http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=5702. [09:39] that's a quote from that link [09:40] I probably don't want system sounds. It's called "event sounds". [09:40] same thing afaik [09:41] 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] (Settings > Appearance > Settings tab > 2 bottom lines.) [12:55] During installation, how do I know what's happening behind the scenes? [12:59] Try the small arrow right on top of the progress bar [13:00] Right on top of the progress bar to the left [13:00] magemeister: it doesn't provide any information of the current processes [13:20] Buenas.

[14:12] 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] I have US international keyboard, with a euro symbol. set up with dead keys, just like i did in ubuntu. [14:15] The mute key does work, btw. [14:15] enno_: settings → keyboard → hotkeys, command is amixer -q set MAster 5%+ (5%- for lowering) [14:16] ok, iĺl try that, brb [14:24] no effect yet, do i need to restart my session for this? === Sysi- is now known as Sysi [15:54] 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] stuck with a cloned display [15:57] xrandr output is xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1600x1600 (desired size 3040x900) [15:59] !xrandr [15:59] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [16:00] philipballew: see "II.5. Placing outputs in a virtual screen" on that page [16:01] doh, froze up. [16:02] how can I just remove the stupid restricted driver, and go back to using ubuntu native? [16:03] whats up TheSheep [16:03] nevermind I think I found it [16:03] restarting.... [16:04] oh wait. i see now :) [16:06] well that was easy.... lol [16:50] 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] is anyone else experiencing these issues? [16:50] or have they, and is there a fix? [16:52] My favorite sites could get shut down by 1st censorship system for the internet. Must stop it: 11/16 #usacensored http://americancensorship.org [17:07] hi there, can someone tell me how to make the default terminal emulator in xubuntu my preferred terminal emulator? [17:08] settings → default/preferred applications [17:08] but where is it in the file system? [17:09] if it's not on drop-down menu, xfce4-terminal [17:10] it is on the dropdown but it does not run when shosen - instead I am asked to choose my preferred terminal emulator [17:10] I have checked and it is installed still. I have been using it today and for many days before. [17:11] I cannot access the console to set my default preferred console :) [17:11] Sysi, Where is the executable on my system and I can reassociate it? [17:12] wrong/bad solution [17:12] if problem is with panel launcher, remove it and drag terminal there from menu [17:14] 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] SO I cannot run Console Emulator at all [17:19] 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] lol @ quietly ragequit.... so much for that [17:23] falken_: [17:23] create a new launcher [17:23] I just did the same with Kubuntu. But it turns out, the issue wasn't Kubuntu. It is kernel related. [17:23] that launches xterm [17:23] then from xterm, try to debug the xfce4-terminal thing [17:23] acctually just press [17:24] alt+f2 [17:24] and type xterm [17:25] g2g [17:25] Ok so at now I at least i have access to console: thank you! [17:26] But how do I set this as my preferred application so I can use dropdown? [17:26] what "dropdown"? [17:27] the main program list dropdown [17:27] when I select it I get: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/2213/choosepreferredapplicat.png [17:28] I can click to choose a program, but where does the console executable live? [17:31] that menu item does not run terminal binary directly [17:32] didn't you just say terminal is at the dropdown menu? [17:33] if it's not, set it to run command "xfce4-terminal" [18:16] Hello, is it possible to show the file transfer speed in thunar? [18:16] similar to how Nautilus does it I suppose? [18:37] KrisDouglas: afaik no you can't [19:01] 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] ipw2200 is my wireless card [19:02] 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] 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] ? [22:10] 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] is it normal that the xubuntu live cd ("try ubuntu without installing") takes over 10 minutes to load? [23:22] there is still cdrom activity [23:23] but the screen hasn't changed [23:23] guidov: i wouldnt say normal... i would try the 'nomodeset' option [23:23] you can look around for TTY's [23:23] control+at+F1 F2... etc === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:24] yeah.. can't access tty's.. still the main menu.. numlock/capslock still responds though [23:24] what does 'nomodeset' do? [23:26] hopefully lets you boot in a 'safe graphics mode' kind of [23:26] it wont break anything, but google it if you like [23:27] ok [23:58] hi? [23:59] türk var mi acaba ? [23:59] how would I make gtk3 apps look good in xfce environment?
