ubuntu298i first time use xubuntu00:00
knomehrundel50, use greybird, that's the most complete GTK2+3 xfce theme. other than that, not much you can do00:02
hrundel50knome: Um. yep - that's what I use.00:02
ubuntu298greybird00:03
ubuntu298greybird theme ?00:03
hrundel50ubuntu298: yes. greybird is a theme.00:03
spantheris greybird integrated into the standard installation? :)00:03
knomespanther, yes00:04
hrundel50knome: um. I'm on fedora.00:05
knomehrundel50, maybe you can ask the fedora channels for more information00:05
hrundel50knome: I guess. They don't have separate "xfce" chnannel though which kinda sucks.00:06
hrundel50knome: I'll try them. thanks.00:06

phunyguyIs there a color scheme that mimicks the standard ubuntu theme for Xubuntu?03:44
well_laid_lawnphunyguy: you'll need a theme for that03:46
well_laid_lawn!themes03:46
ubottuTo change your theme in Xubuntu, go to Settings Manager » Appearance (GTK+ theme) or Settings Manager » Window Manager (xfwm4 theme) to change the theme - find more themes at http://xfce-look.org/ or http://gnome-look.org/ (for GTK+ themes)03:46
phunyguyso far 0 for 103:51
phunyguyit didnt change any panel colors.03:51
well_laid_lawnthat's the gtk theme03:51
phunyguyDOH, my bad.03:52
phunyguyI feel sheepish03:52
phunyguyselected radiance instead of ambience by accident03:52
well_laid_lawnheh ;)03:52
phunyguyxD03:52
jrbrtsnCan anyone point me to some information about how to make my laptop suspend when I close the lid?03:53
phunyguygoodnight03:54
holsteinjrbrtsn: down near the time, you should see a battery or a plug... the power applet... right click there and go to 'preferences'03:57
holsteinpoke around there and see what you can find03:57
jrbrtsnholstein, that pulls up the XFCE power manager configuration.  I've got the hibernate button action set to hibernate, and the suspend button action to suspend.04:00
well_laid_lawnit's not something I've done but I think you might need a udev rule for that04:04
jrbrtsnwell_laid_lawn, I'll check that out.  I see that there is a script '/etc/acpi/lid.sh' that should get activated when the lid is closed.04:11
well_laid_lawnk04:11
holsteinjrbrtsn: i find it in the GUI04:29
holsteinhttp://imagebin.org/18442704:30
jrbrtsnholstein, thanks man - I've already got those set.  So far I've run acpi_listen, and determined that no acpi event is detected, so the GUI setting doesn't matter.04:34
jrbrtsnMust be something unique about my System76 panp6 laptop.04:35
holsteinjrbrtsn: cool... i havent had to get dirty like that for a while04:35
holsteini do have a laptop thats not sleeping, but i havent had time to trouble shoot it yet04:36
holsteinhavent taken the time, i should say04:36
jrbrtsnholstein, thanks for the tips.  I think I'll send an email to System76 and see what they have to say.04:36
holsteini would probably install XFCE or xubuntu desktop on the OS they put together04:37
holsteinor add their PPA or whatever it is04:37
jrbrtsnGiving up for the night ;-)04:43
kharnovHi, I'd like to disable the popup notifications on Xubuntu 11.10. How can I do this?06:05
well_laid_lawnkhaard: settings manager - notifications06:08
well_laid_lawnoops tab fail sorry khaard kharnov ^^06:09
kharnovI'm there, but there's no option to get rid of them.06:09
kharnovI see Theme, Default Position, Disappear after, Opacity.06:11
well_laid_lawnand setting disappear to 0 doesn't work either06:11
kharnovYeah there's no option for 0.06:12
well_laid_lawnI typed in 0 and it changed to 1 when I closed it06:12
kharnovYeah.06:12
well_laid_lawnkharnov: in xfce4-settings-editor you can set it to 006:15
kharnovNope, they still pop up.06:16
well_laid_lawnnotifyd must override it maybe ask in #xfce if no one else in here knows06:17
kharnovIf I kill the notifyd process, it starts up again.06:18
kharnovIf I try to remove xfce4-notifyd's package, it requires me to remove blueman, update-notifier, and xubuntu-desktop.06:19
kharnovActually, I don't think I need any of those, since xubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage.06:20
kharnovAnd I don't use bluetooth and I do all my updating with Synaptic anyway.06:20
kharnovMaybe that'll work.06:20
kharnovYes! Removing it worked.06:23
kharnovOkay, problem solved.06:23

spantherhello there. I've installed the newest 11.10 and found 2 entries under proprietary drivers. one ati/amd as main entry and one said later updates. the main one I can install just fine but the later updates ever give out an error pointing at /var/log/jockey.log16:12
phunyguy_workOK so I am looking at xfce-look.org for some themes, and some say xfce, and some say gtk2.0, etc.  the GTK2.0 ones tend to look better, what is the difference?16:23
phunyguy_workspanther, I wouldnt bother with that16:24
spantherok :)16:24
phunyguy_workhad issues with them. One installed but didnt work correctly, the other wouldnt install16:24
spantherthe main drivers just work fine (so far, as I can say) but these updates on the second line don't install correctly :/16:24
phunyguy_workup to you.16:25
spantheryep, I had installed the updates, then the main was uninstalled lol. then i reinstalled the main again :)16:25
phunyguy_workI use the non-restricted.16:25
spanthernow i only use the main :)16:25
spantherbut as you said, maybe the main don't work correctly too :/16:27
spantherI have to check this later with a graphical program or something like that16:27

tjingboemi freaked around with the Appearance Settings and lost my theme. How can i revert to standard theme of Xubuntu11.10?17:04
phunyguy_workOK so I am looking at xfce-look.org for some themes, and some say xfce, and some say gtk2.0, etc.  the GTK2.0 ones tend to look better, what is the difference?17:56
ochosiphunyguy_work: the xfce-themes are usually only window-manager themes. (at least if they got categorized correctly)17:57
phunyguy_workochosi, I dont know what that means18:01
ochosiphunyguy_work: window-manager themes change your window-borders (the box that contains close, maximize, minimize, window-title etc.)18:01
ochosiphunyguy_work: gtk-themes change everything else18:02
phunyguy_workhmmm..  some of these have ppa repos to add, but they dont work18:02
phunyguy_workis that a common occurance?18:02
phunyguy_workthey look really cool too :(18:02
phunyguy_worklike this one.  http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Orta?content=13412318:09
phunyguy_workochosi ^^18:09
ochosiphunyguy_work: most likely your xubuntu-version and the one supplied by the ppa don't match18:11
ochosiphunyguy_work: you can dl the theme though anyway, extract it and install it by hand (e.g. "sudo mv $themefolder /usr/share/themes/" if you want to install it systemwide)18:11
