[00:12] <atruno-> changing the icon size does not change the size of the program drop down display which is thin and strains my eyes with tiny icons despite the size of any other icons i set to on desktop or in filemanager.
[00:14] <atruno-> when i click on the mouse in the absolute upper left hand corner the menu that drop down each entry is very small.

[00:44] <ako_> I have some problems with bluebird theme, can anyone help me please?
[00:45] <xubuntu926> hi all!
[00:45] <xubuntu926> any opinion whether this is better than ubuntu?
[00:46] <Pici> !best
[00:46] <xubuntu926> ok thansks, sorry
[00:46]  * GridCube opinion  is "yes"
[00:47] <xubuntu926> hahaha thanks
[00:47] <GridCube> now go to #ubuntu and ask if its better to anyother thing :P
[00:48] <ako_> :(
[00:48] <Pici> and I'll give the same answer there.
[00:49] <ako_> hello
[00:49] <xubuntu926> so it really is personal preference? theres no big upside?
[00:50] <Pici> Its just a different user interface.
[00:50] <Unit193> If you like, Unity, then Ubuntu is [better[, if you like Xfce, then Xubuntu is [better[
[00:51] <xubuntu926> well i hate unity so I think I'll give xubuntu a try
[00:51] <xubuntu926> thanks a bunch man
[00:53] <Unit193> There are still more options than Xubuntu too
[07:52] <doc|home> hey, anyone had their sound mysteriously stop working recently?
[07:53] <TheSheep> unmute it
[07:55] <doc|home> it's not that
[07:56] <doc|home> hmmm, after unplugging and plugging back in my sound card I get "usb_set_interface failed"
[09:07] <xubuntu260> ha.llo
[09:19] <cYmen> I tried installing xubuntu on an eee pc yesterday and installation went fine but afterwards I couldn't get wireless to work anymore it said "device not managed" does anybody know what that means?
[09:29] <_Pete_> cYmen: check if the wlan interface has configured already in /etc/network/interfaces
[09:29] <_Pete_> if it is, I gues nwdamager doesnt handle it anymore
[09:33] <cYmen> _Pete_: I'll check, thanks.
[10:04] <ako_> I have some problems with bluebird theme, can anyone help me please?
[10:05] <Sysi> ask a question and see if someone knows
[10:05] <ako_> When I change the theme from Greybird to Bluebird, the controls become ugly, as if there is a problem like missing a library or something
[10:05] <ako_> how can I find out what is wrong?
[10:05] <ako_> I am using 11.10
[10:07] <Sysi> on all apps?
[10:07] <ako_> no
[10:07] <ako_> (I think) only those coming from gnome
[10:07] <ako_> like Evince
[10:07] <Sysi> then that's because bluebird lacks gtk3-part which some apps use
[10:08] <ako_> Can it be fixed?
[10:10] <Sysi> sudo cp -r /usr/share/themes/greybird/gtk-3.0 /usr/share/themes/Bluebird/
[10:11] <Sysi> check paths with pressing tab for autocompletion
[10:12] <ako_> Sysi: Thanks, that fixed it! :)
[10:15] <Sysi> now they look like greybird, should be a lot better anyway
[10:53] <CaptainKnots> how do I disable tap to click on a touchpad in 11.10?
[11:21] <xubuntu465> any opinions between abiword and libreoffice?
[11:22] <xubuntu465> as in does abiword cut it?
[11:22] <knome> depends what you are trying to achieve
[11:22] <knome> abiword is good for basic word processing and a bit more too.
[11:23] <xubuntu465> sweet, thats exactly what I wanted to know, thanks
[11:23] <knome> np
[11:24] <xubuntu465> so are you a xubuntu user? You like it?
[11:26] <CaptainKnots> I use xubuntu on my netbook
[11:27] <Sysi> CaptainKnots: synclient TapButton1=0
[11:28] <Sysi> put that to autostart if you want
[11:30] <CaptainKnots> Sysi: thanks
[11:38] <CaptainKnots> Sysi: how do I add that to startup?
[11:38] <CaptainKnots> autostart*
[11:39] <Sysi> settings -> sessions and startup
[11:42] <CaptainKnots> brb
[15:06] <echoJONES> @find espn

[15:46] <SirShmoopy> hello, i just switched to xubuntu from ubuntu and ran into an annoyance. every few minutes my volume level resets- there is a click as the speakers spike, and the sound is set to max regardless of previous state
[15:48] <SirShmoopy> i have my stereo hooked up to the main out on the mobo, running 11.10 with a fresh install, and so far the sound reset itself three times typing this
[15:51] <incorrect> how can i edit what gets started up by the 'launch gnome services on startup'?
[16:56] <incorrect> hi, i was messing around and i've broken the nm-applet appearing in the indicator, it now appears in the notification app
[18:20] <FiReSTaRT> hey guys, i have 2 panels on the bottom.. when i maximize windows, i'd like for them to reach the top of the "top" bottom panel.. currently they're reaching the top of the "bottom" bottom panel, so a part is obscured by the other panel.. is there a way to fix that?
[18:48] <ruslan_osmanov> is there a way to downgrade from gedit 3 to gedit 2?
[18:48] <ruslan_osmanov> hi
[18:51] <w30> what search term do I put in synaptic to find /dev/video0 and v4l devices?
[18:52] <xubuntu357> hey, guys!
[19:02] <urthmover> xfce4-terminal How can I make the links clickable?  right now I can right-click a link and select Open Link.....but I'd like to click it from the terminal window.....How can I accomplish this?
[19:03] <Myrtti> try pressing ctrl at the same time
[19:03] <urthmover> Myrtti: hmm nope doesn't work
[19:04] <urthmover> Myrtti: was worth a try though
[19:04] <Sysi> middleclick works
[19:04] <urthmover> Sysi:  yep that works...
[19:04] <urthmover> Sysi: ok I guess I'll remember how to do that .... would be nice to figure out how to configure the left click though
[19:05] <Sysi> too bad it's same for xorg quickpaste..
[19:05] <urthmover> ah
[19:58] <Velophile> Hi all...anyone know if the all the indicator applets are supposed to work in xfce4's indicator plugin? specifically the power and network ones
[20:48] <CiPi> Velophile, sudo apt-get install indicator-multiload
[20:48] <CiPi> I don`t know if all, but this is the best one I find...
[20:49] <Velophile> Thanks, that'll show traffic and system load, the one I'm after is a replacement for Wicd or Network-Manager, it's called indicator-network and uses connman under the hood
[20:56] <Crash_O-D> Anyone know what resources are needed for reg ubuntu?
[20:57] <Pici> Crash_O-D: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[20:57] <Crash_O-D> Thanks pici
[20:57] <Pici> np
[20:59] <Crash_O-D> I just installed xubuntu and got error in grub no such device entering rescue mode
[21:00] <Crash_O-D> I am installing it on a second drive in my laptop
[21:19] <carloss> i have a webserver running on my xubuntu box.  my phone is on the same network and i'd like for my phone's browser to hit that web service.  how do i do this?
[21:20] <Unit193> Your phone is on WiFi I'd assume? If so, type in the IP of the computer. What browser on the phone?
[21:21] <carloss> xscope
[21:21] <carloss> Unit193:
[21:21] <carloss> i'm having no luck
[21:21] <Unit193> I take it you got the correct IP? Type ifconfig   at a terminal to confirm
[21:22] <carloss> inet addr: is the one i want, right?
[21:22] <carloss> or bcast?
[21:23] <Unit193> inet
[21:23] <Unit193> Did you try with another computer?
[21:25] <carloss> no luck, Unit193
[21:25] <carloss> "web page not available"
[21:26] <crazymutex> are you able to connect to the web server from the server itself?
[21:26] <carloss> ya, crazymutex
[21:26] <carloss> firewall related?
[21:26] <crazymutex> that's a start
[21:27] <crazymutex> you're sure the phone is on the same network as the server?
[21:28] <carloss> yup
[21:28] <carloss> i've tried from another laptop on my network, also
[21:29] <crazymutex> and?
[21:29] <carloss> same thing
[21:29] <carloss> just spins
[21:30] <carloss> dns related?
[21:30] <crazymutex> you got a firewall
[21:30] <crazymutex> on server
[21:31] <carloss> crazymutex: my firewall settings are weird.  they say i can enable certain applications to pass through firewall onto my machine
[21:31] <crazymutex> or your web server doesn't listen on INET for some reason (weird config?)
[21:31] <crazymutex> what
[21:31] <crazymutex> are you using the IP of the server to connect to it?
[21:31] <carloss> ya
[21:31] <crazymutex> why do you mention dns?
[21:31] <carloss> never mind i guess
[21:32] <crazymutex> firewall where? on the xubuntu box?
[21:34] <carloss> oh, i was looking at firewall for my router
[21:34] <carloss> there's two that i need to worry about?
[21:35] <hacker11> Hi guys
[21:35] <hacker11> Is this the official Xubuntu channel?
[21:36] <Myrtti> yup
[21:36] <hacker11> Nice
[21:36] <hacker11> Just started using it and I'm really enjoying it
[21:37] <Myrtti> great \o/
[21:38] <Crash_O-D> Lol i would try and enjoy it if dang grub error. Trying to install again. On 2nd hdd in laptop. Since windows on first drive
[21:38] <hacker11> I was getting errors with Ubuntu and Kubuntu but Xubuntu seems fine so far
[21:39] <carloss> crazymutex: yup.  had to enable incoming traffic from xubuntu
[21:39] <Crash_O-D> I had ubuntu working but need lighter resource version why trying xubuntu
[21:39] <carloss> thanks!
[21:40] <hacker11> Yeah ubuntu is pretty intensive, but it should be better for my now that I have a new Bulldozer.
[21:42] <teknoduke> hi o/
[21:42] <hacker11> Hi
[21:43] <GridCube> hi
[21:43] <Crash_O-D> I keep getting into grub rescue saying error no such device
[21:44] <GridCube> did you moved your sata ports?
[21:44] <Crash_O-D> No
[21:44] <GridCube> mmhm
[21:45] <Crash_O-D> if I can I get into windows backup windows in just install on that drives
[21:46] <hacker11> Hmm
[21:47] <Crash_O-D> anyone know how to get back into the windows bootloader?
[21:47] <TheSheep> fdisk /mbr
[21:47] <Crash_O-D> under the grub rescue?
[21:47] <GridCube> no
[21:47] <TheSheep> no, under window
[21:47] <TheSheep> s
[21:48] <GridCube> using your windows installation disk
[21:48] <Crash_O-D> I cannot get into windows because of the grub recovery mode
[21:49] <Crash_O-D> that oughta be fun to find a windows disk
[21:49] <Crash_O-D> Thanks though
[21:51] <hacker11> Do developers ever come on this channel?
[21:55] <GridCube> yes
[21:56] <GridCube> as a matter of fact most of them are here now
[21:56] <GridCube> well not "here" they might be iddle
[21:56] <GridCube> :P
[21:59] <Crash_O-D> I'm using windows 764 bit and I'm under the command prompt on the cd and fdisk not recognized
[22:02] <GridCube> you need to use the recovery option at the boot
[22:05] <Crash_O-D> bootrec /fixmbr to fix it. and since windows boot record had ubuntu list and I just clicked on that any booted into xubuntu
[22:05] <GridCube> :)
[22:07] <Crash_O-D> Thank you google
[22:07] <Crash_O-D> Thanks for help with windows and mbr helped me to figure what to do
[22:08] <GridCube> :)
[22:10] <Crash_O-D> has anybody had experience with enlightment? I heard it uses less resource is then x f c e
[22:11] <Crash_O-D> sorry I'm using irc on my phone
[22:12] <Crash_O-D> Why in xfce it does not need proprietary drivers when needed them in ubuntu
[22:18] <crazymutex> fluxbox !!!
[22:23] <Crash_O-D> Fluxbox? Is why i dont need special drivers
[22:33] <GridCube> Crash_O-D, xfce doesnt use fancy graphic stuff, so it can be handled with standard drivers
[22:34] <DoverOs> 4D drivers
[22:35] <Crash_O-D> will it still be able to do dual monitor? because I haven't hdmi out port.
[22:36] <Crash_O-D> I have hdmi out
[22:37] <DoverOs> i don't see why it wouldn't
[22:37] <DoverOs> don't take my word for it : D
[22:37] <DoverOs> u could just configure it in gfx or something
[22:42] <Crash_O-D> is there a way to make it when I hit delete a file that it confirms I want to delete
[22:46] <DoverOs> Crash_O-D: get kde : p or something
[22:47] <Crash_O-D> Thanks, but need low resources
[22:47] <DoverOs> use your trashcan
