zuscan some one  please help me resolve these errors? http://pastebin.com/AHdwq6gA01:18
spantherzus, you need to import the correct keyring :)01:19
zusive already redid the  kxstudio key ring, and still get the same errors.01:20
spantherso there are two solutions then. 1) the repository isn't reachable. 2) the keyring given is wrong :)01:21
spanthernothing you can change hehe01:21
spantherbut you can contact the repository maintainer :)01:21
zusi have, at least the  lead dev before  comming in here.01:26
zuswe redid the  ppa/key ring.01:26
Artemis3hmm this sounds like a topic for #ubuntu-devel01:28
spantherwell at least it is very specific. nothing i could help with heh :)01:28
Artemis3ah never mind that doesnt include app devel01:29
w30Does xubuntu have a graphical find, search  utility?01:30
zusw30 would catfish help?01:31
zusmenu>accessories>catfish01:31
w30zus, I donno, let me check..01:31
zusalso application finder has worked for me with apps, it was in my  hidden bottom bar.01:32
w30zus app finder works well for apps in my experience01:36
w30zus I was interested in a grep for words or phrases in a file01:37
w30zus like finding all files with my name in them for example01:38
kharnovHi. For some reason, my Xubuntu 11.10 install doesn't seem to remember my saved settings. For example, it keeps asking me what my default browser is, even though I've clearly set it to Google Chrome a dozen times.01:39
zusoh, there i dont know, of an app. and as i learn more about linux and use it more and more daily  i think i'd  prefer a command line for such01:41
w30zus, this is for a Windows defector that doesn't see a need to quote "do all that typing".01:51
w30zus "oh Wellll......"01:52
GridCubekhaard, close a session without saving it, and then close a session saving it01:52
zusw30,  ahh. :)01:56
kharnovGridCube: thanks!01:58

phunyguyOK maybe I'm  just not doing something right, but I can't find a good gray-dark theme that actually changes the internal contents of a window.02:17
phunyguystuff still stays light/white except the xfce-dusk theme02:18
phunyguywhat am I doing wrong?02:18
well_laid_lawnfind a dark gtk theme02:19
phunyguyI actually really like the current theme, just not the window colors02:19
phunyguywell_laid_lawn, if I do that, how do I select it without changing to the rest of the theme?02:20
spantherwhy? they are shiny silver nice! :)02:20
phunyguyI just want the inside of the windows to change02:20
phunyguyack!02:20
phunyguylol02:20
spantheri love this silver look :P02:20
phunyguyspanther go away ;)02:20
spantheraww :(02:21
well_laid_lawnyou might have to edit one  yourself02:21
phunyguyas do i, just not with dark everything else.02:21
GridCubephunyguy, did you talk to ochosi ?02:21
phunyguyno, was I supposed to? lol02:22
phunyguywait, what?02:22
GridCubephunyguy, ochosi is the master of costumizing xubuntu02:23
knomehe's asleep already02:23
GridCubeif he doesnt know how to help you no one can02:23
spantherphunyguy, what's about this one? http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Simply+Choice+1.0?content=14201702:24
spantherthere you can find many themes for xfce :)02:26
phunyguyI've been on that site all day02:40
phunyguyand spanther, the insides are still gray02:41
spantherhmm :/02:42
spantheri'm sorry then02:43
spantherwelcome back again grind xD02:49
spantherI do have an ALC662 Chipset Realtek HD-Audio with 5.1 feature. I have plugged in a 5.1 surround system over 3.5" to cinch cables.02:56
spantherhow to setup my sound? :)02:56
phunyguyyou know I just realized something.   My browsing has been working fantastic.  Maybe it took my ISP having a core router go down to fix it?02:59
phunyguyhmm that is a good question, spanther.  Not as easy as it is in Kubuntu / Ubuntu03:01
spantherhrhr *g*03:01
phunyguywait, are you serious or not?03:01
spantheryep :)03:01
spantheri do have an Edifier S550 Soundsystem ;)03:01
phunyguyok.  Well it seems to use Pulse Audio03:01
spantherlook for it yourself :P03:02
phunyguydont care to ;)03:02
phunyguydoes Xubuntu have the same sound config capability as Ubuntu?03:03
spantherwell inside sound settings i can enable elements for "HDA ATI SB (Alsa mixer)" Main, Surround, Center, LFE :/03:03
spantherbut how to check their function?03:03
phunyguyas in test speakers?03:03
spantheryes03:03
phunyguyplay a movie with surround sound03:03
phunyguylol03:03
spantherin windows you have this realtek software where you click a speaker and then you hear if it is the right one :)03:03
phunyguyyeah Ubuntu has that03:04
knomespeaker-test ?03:04
phunyguywish I knew the name of the app03:04
spantherhmmm :/03:04
spantheroh and inside the windows realtek menu i can check sound upmix (fill channels) to use stereo upmixed as surround03:05
well_laid_lawnhttp://www.upubuntu.com/2011/06/how-to-test-speaker-channels-of-your.html03:06
knomewell_laid_lawn, isn't that what i just said (speaker-test) :)03:06
well_laid_lawnyep and it gives the command for the surround sound test03:07
phunyguywell I remember in alsa, there are "profiles" which essentially do just that, spanther03:07
spantherokay i'll install speaker-test03:07
knomethat will be different depending on the number of speakers you have03:07
phunyguybut I haven't messed with that stuff in forever.  I have a digital receiver which handles all that for me03:07
phunyguyvia TOSLink03:08
phunyguyor whatever it's called03:08
phunyguyOptical.03:08
spanthertoslink :)03:08
spantheri do use analog connections with 3.5" to cinch03:08
phunyguyyeah i got that03:08
phunyguyhopefully someone can help ya03:08
phunyguyi wont be much help03:08
spantherall 3 outputs from my soundcard. problem is, still on windows, i had to configure first, which output is what, so that the soundsystem worked right. so i think it could give problems here :(03:09
spantherif there is no way to switch the output (which output is LFE and so on)03:09
phunyguyyou would be surprised.03:09
spantherspeaker test says "error, ressource is used" lol03:10
phunyguyfail :)03:11
spantheri think it could be the pulseaudio sound daemon using this ressource :>03:11
spantherbut a direct hardware test (which speaker-test does use) doesn't help me, if later pulseaudio still handles it wrong :)03:12
spantherso this speaker-test is no way :(03:12
spantherlinux really needs a professional sound setup GUI tool for pulseaudio x.x03:15
phunyguyspanther: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio#Using_PulseAudio03:15
phunyguylots of good info there03:16
spantherthank you! :)03:16
spantheroh, i found an information here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795525 stating: gedit ~/.pulse/daemon.conf   line:  default-sample-channels = 2  to change into 6 :)03:17
spantherand restart03:17
phunyguyspanther: pavucontrolis the package you want03:19
phunyguyerr03:19
phunyguyspanther: pavucontrol is the package you want03:19
spantheryay! :D03:19
spantheryes internal audio has a 5.1 profile03:19

phunyguy=D03:20
spantherlol03:21
spantherwell i build a new starter for the bottom panel with pavucontrol03:21
phunyguyyeah it's my GTK theme that is all upset03:21
phunyguyis there a way to JUST change gtk theme in XFCE?03:21
spantherI wonder why pavucontrol wasn't shipped out of the box :)03:23
spantherwith "gnome-audio" as icon to display it looks nice03:24
spantherdo i have to reboot?03:25
phunyguyi wouldnt think so.  It is controlling the existing pulse-audio03:26
phunyguywhich is QUITE dynamic03:26
w30agemoi10203:28

kiruawhats the difference between xubuntu and xfce ?07:41
Sysixubuntu uses xfce, xfce can be used on other distributions too07:42
kiruano cause i can choose between xubuntu and xfce at the start07:43
kiruai wonder what are the differences07:50
Sysixubuntu-session loads xubuntu default settings if you select it on first login, xfce-session loads upstream defaults07:51
Sysiafter first login your own settings override those07:51

arnaud_dHi ! May I ask you something about lunching scripts with Xubuntu ?23:02
knome!ask23:02
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience23:02
arnaud_dOk Thanks. I have been under xubuntu for 2 weeks now and I miss the windows that pops under Ubuntu when you double-click on a script file. I'm talking about the window that offers you the choice to run the program in a terminal. Is there a way to make this window appear under xubuntu ?23:04
knomeunfortunately, i don't think so23:05
arnaud_dThank you knome for your answer. This is probably a gnome-dependant stuff. Anyway, how do you run scripts that need terminal ? Do you open a temrinal fisrt (right click > Open terminal here) and then $./YourProg.sh ?23:08
knomeyes, that is the easiest way23:08
arnaud_dOk fine. I would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to the guys who work on xubuntu. It's a great distrib. I was bored with Unity so I changed and this freedom is priceless. Thank you and see you soon.23:12
knomeno problem, and enjoy xubuntu23:12
