[02:32] <asterismo> ??

[02:45] <asterismo> is there any other lightweight desktop for netbook that supports wifi and bluetooth applets?

[03:34] <ViperVenom> Hi I burned the iso to a CD and when it boots a purple screen comes up with a picture of a keyboard, an equal sign, and a stick figure. After awhile, my screen starts flashing red/green/blue/white and the CD drive is going crazy scanning really fast. Is this normal, because after a minute of this going on I decided to force shutdown.
[08:34] <Orwo> help?
[08:34] <bioterror> !ask | Orwo
[08:34] <ubot2> Orwo: Please 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 !patience
[08:35] <Orwo> !patience
[08:35] <ubot2> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/
[08:36] <Snicksie> Orwo, just ask and we'll try to answer ;)
[08:36] <C0nfus3d> Orwo: LOL shoot your query
[08:37] <Orwo> in Xubuntu: the default applications were gone after an update
[08:38] <Orwo> how to fix this?
[08:40] <C0nfus3d> Orwo: I don't think applications will go after an update. Might be the layout change. Tyr typing 'firefox' without quotes in terminal
[08:41] <benonsoftware1> IAmNotThatGuy: Another nick!!
[08:42] <IAmNotThatGuy> benonsoftware1: I use that nick whenever I am c0nfus3d (but not registered to me) ;D
[08:42] <benonsoftware1> lol
[08:42] <benonsoftware1> Register it
[08:42] <IAmNotThatGuy> Will do
[08:43] <Orwo> they were gone as default applications
[08:44] <benonsoftware1> Orwo: Sorry, which one?
[08:44] <Orwo> all four of them
[08:45] <benonsoftware1> Which are?
[08:45] <Orwo> default browser, default mail client, file manager, terminal
[08:45] <IAmNotThatGuy> Press Alt + F2
[08:46] <Orwo> so?
[08:51] <IAmNotThatGuy> Orwo: you got a tab where you can type command?
[08:54] <Orwo> yes
[08:54] <Orwo> what do you suggest me to type into?
[08:54] <Orwo> :D
[08:56] <IAmNotThatGuy> Orwo: type xfce4-terminal in that box
[08:58] <Orwo> and press Run; it opens a terminal window.
[08:58] <IAmNotThatGuy> type firefox
[08:59] <Orwo> and press Run; it opens a firefox window.
[09:00] <IAmNotThatGuy> Good. So your applications are not removed and they are just not shown in the panel right?
[09:00] <IAmNotThatGuy> you can pin it to the panels
[09:00] <Orwo> but I said "they were gone as default applications"
[09:01] <Snicksie> Orwo, do you mean that f.e. when you open a .html file, it doesnt open with firefox anymore?
[09:02] <Orwo> yes,  or htop from the menu - can't open a terminal
[09:02] <Orwo> they were gone as default applications
[09:02] <OutOfControl> Orwo: What program does  it open?
[09:03] <Snicksie> Orwo, try this (copypaste from the forums)
[09:03] <Snicksie> You'll probably still find that some applications open links in Firefox, or in a new window when you prefer a new tab. In gconf-editor you can go to desktop>applications>browser and set the browser to epiphany, or epiphany -n if you always want pages forced to open in a new tab. You might also need to go tognome>url-handlers and set the default as epiphany --new-tab %s
[09:03] <Snicksie> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=568957
[09:03] <Orwo> negative
[09:04] <Snicksie> hm, that doesnt work?
[09:04] <Orwo> you see ... if you go in the default applications window - nothing there
[09:05] <Orwo> I typed xfce4-terminal as a terminal default - still doesnt open a teminal
[09:14] <Snicksie> have a sec Orwo, ill try to install a xubuntu in my virtualbox and find it :)
[09:18] <Orwo> really?
[09:20] <Snicksie> yeah, gives me also an experience with xubuntu, which could be useful :p
[09:20] <Orwo> we moved to xubuntu and we all ove it
[09:20] <Orwo> love it
[09:21] <Snicksie> I like unity, but thats because I have a small screen (13") and it works good for me :p
[09:22] <Orwo> me on 10 and 12 :)
[09:30] <Snicksie> okay, restarting Orwo :)
[09:32] <Orwo> ok
[09:33] <Snicksie> logging in :)
[09:34] <Snicksie> hm
[09:34] <Orwo> xubuntu is great
[09:34] <Snicksie> System-->Preferences-->Preferred Applications
[09:34] <Snicksie> seems nice indeed :)
[09:34] <Orwo> yes, there
[09:35] <Orwo> nothing there
[09:35] <Orwo> in my recent install
[09:36] <Snicksie> hm, I do have something there :p
[09:36] <Orwo> I know
[09:36] <Orwo> I have it on the machines too
[09:36] <Orwo> but in this one - nothing
[09:37] <Snicksie> try sudo apt-get install xubuntu-default-settings
[09:37] <Orwo> let me see
[09:38] <Snicksie> although I guess you should already have that installed...
[09:40] <Snicksie> hm, if I am correct you should be able to specify them manually Orwo ...
[09:40] <Orwo> yes, I did that
[09:40] <Snicksie> okay, that doesnt work?
[09:40] <Orwo> but then for examle htop can't find the terminal
[09:41] <Snicksie> hm... will try the same
[09:41] <Orwo> I get: Failed to execute the defaultterminal emulator. I/O error.
[09:42] <Orwo> well
[09:42] <Orwo> they are here again
[09:43] <Orwo> I removed xubuntu-default-settings and installed it again.
[09:43] <Snicksie> that worked?
[09:43] <Orwo> yez!
[09:43] <Orwo> thank you!
[09:44] <Snicksie> yay :)
[09:44] <Orwo> we have all kind of apps that use menu to open a teminal
[09:44] <Orwo> so this was essential to work
[09:45] <Snicksie> well, thanks for showing me xubuntu isnt that bad after all :p
[09:45]  * Snicksie likes it ^^
[09:45] <Orwo> thank you! thank  you!
[09:45] <Snicksie> especially for a virtualbox its better :p
[09:45] <Orwo> xubuntu is great. we have it for servers and also for  netbooks. it cuts!
[09:48] <Orwo> btw, we just got an error
[09:48] <Orwo> "W: GPG error: http://dl.google.com stable Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG A040830F7FAC5991 Google, Inc. Linux Package Signing Key <linux-packages-keymaster@google.com>"
[09:49] <Snicksie> okay... basically it means the 'signature' of the package is invalid... that means they cant verify the package is actually from 'Linux Package Signing Key' or whatever :)
[09:50] <Orwo> why it became invalid?
[09:51] <Snicksie> maybe they signed it with another (new) key or someone pretending to be Google made the package and signed it with a different key (so not the one the real google uses)
[10:05] <Orwo> fix?
[10:07] <Snicksie> hm, what did you do to get the error Orwo ?
[10:09] <Orwo> sudo apt-get update
[10:21] <Snicksie> hm...
[10:21] <Snicksie> oops, sorry for responding so late Orwo :)
[10:22] <Snicksie> try it again and see if its still there...
[10:22] <Snicksie> if it is, try removing that ppa and re-adding it again ;)
[10:28] <Orwo> will restart
