| Pupuser | hi | 01:55 |
|---|---|---|
| Pupuser | I want to use a screen resolution of 640x480, but the minimum resolution I get is 800x600 | 01:58 |
| go8765 | Pupuser: try in terminal xrandr -s 600x480 | 02:14 |
| dbaybay__ | Anyone know how to adjust the processor state in Xubuntu? | 02:40 |
| CrownWheel | Hey, xubuntu-ites. How can I tell which wireless driver is loaded right now, under 11.10? | 03:17 |
| CrownWheel | Is looking at the output of "cat /proc/modules" the best bet? | 03:19 |
| CrownWheel | Also: if a module is loaded, is it necesarily effective and in use? Or do modules get loaded speculatively or by default? | 03:22 |
| ubuntu_ | hi again | 03:24 |
| ubuntu_ | I would like to change my name | 03:24 |
| ubuntu_ | (I'm puppyuser)anyways, I tried xrandr -s 640x480 but I got an error... | 03:25 |
| ubuntu_ | 'Size 640x480 not found in available modes' | 03:25 |
| uofm49426 | anyone run compiz in xubuntu what do i need to do to show a tittle bar | 04:01 |
| Yggdrasil_ | whats up | 05:35 |
| Yggdrasil_ | just installed xubunt on my eee pc | 05:35 |
| CharlesM | Is it safe to remove the xubuntu live cd while the system is running? Say to access files on another CD briefly? | 08:02 |
| Sysi | CharlesM: safe as in nothing breaks, but it's probably gonna crash | 08:05 |
| CharlesM | Ouch, okay ;) | 08:05 |
| Sysi | I'm not 100% sure but it's to be expected | 08:08 |
| CharlesM | Not worth the risk then. I was thinking if everything got loaded into RAM it may not be a problem, but it isn't that important. | 08:09 |
| Cybertinus | It looks more and more like it that I'm gonna switch to Xubuntu | 08:34 |
| Cybertinus | just installed kubuntu-desktop | 08:34 |
| Cybertinus | I really don't like that. It's like "KDE meets Unity". And I don't like Unity. | 08:35 |
| cc_INC | Good switch :) | 08:35 |
| _Pete_ | indeed | 08:35 |
| cc_INC | I hope the flavor appeals to you :) | 08:35 |
| Sysi | gnome-shell is quite nice and simple, though I like KDE very much, after some setting up | 08:35 |
| cc_INC | For some reason I don't get along with KDE. | 08:36 |
| Cybertinus | I'm still gonna look to the default KDE install Ubuntu also has in it's repo's | 08:36 |
| cc_INC | Don't know why, it's just a feeling I get. | 08:36 |
| cc_INC | In fact I'd pick Gnome over KDE any day of the week | 08:37 |
| Cybertinus | ah yes, I understand that cc_INC. Just had it (having it actually, waiting for the normal KDE install) ;) | 08:37 |
| Cybertinus | I'm more of a KDE person myself. Using it for years | 08:37 |
| _Pete_ | I used to use kubuntu when it still was 3.5.x | 08:37 |
| _Pete_ | but that force swithc to 4.x was really stupid move in ubuntu | 08:37 |
| cc_INC | I've used KDE 3 years ago with openSUSE | 08:38 |
| Cybertinus | I'm using KDE 4.x since 4.2. The versions before that weren't usuable | 08:38 |
| Sysi | kde never really felt stable before 4.7 for me | 08:38 |
| _Pete_ | this is intresting project http://www.trinitydesktop.org/ | 08:38 |
| cc_INC | openSUSE was my introduction to Linux. But after trying out some different stuff KDE felt a bit too static for my taste | 08:39 |
| _Pete_ | seems to be currently little unstable for real use | 08:39 |
| cc_INC | Oh yeah Trinity, I read about that. Any of you tried it out? | 08:39 |
| _Pete_ | I did | 08:39 |
| Cybertinus | ok cc_INC. My introduction to Linux was Redhat 8. It had KDE 3.3 or 3.4 in it :) | 08:39 |
| Sysi | I started with xfce.. and then when I tried gnome it was missing stuff I liked in xfce | 08:40 |
| cc_INC | Redhat, is it everything they claim it is? :) | 08:40 |
| cc_INC | The past two years I used Crunchbang Linux with Openbox | 08:40 |
| cc_INC | I love the clean, slick, minimalistic look and feel of openbox. | 08:41 |
| Cybertinus | I'm using CentOS (and sometimes RHEL) on servers at my work. I don't think it is a bad distro. It also is pretty stable | 08:41 |
| cc_INC | Actually Crunchbang is a very very nice distro. Going under the hood to get stuff done helped me learn a lot. | 08:41 |
| Cybertinus | if a server chrashes, it was because it was using more RAM then it got. Or the hardware is really old (yes, some servers I maintain are 10 years old, or older...) | 08:42 |
| cc_INC | Unfortunately I was lacking time to fiddle with it, so I switched to Xubuntu. Mostly because Crunchbang also had an Xfce flavor and I liked that too so the choice was simple | 08:42 |
| Cybertinus | but not because of a kernel-bug or something | 08:42 |
| cc_INC | 10 years?!?!? Wow | 08:43 |
| Cybertinus | yeah | 08:43 |
| Cybertinus | last month I removed the loading of USB in the startup procedure of some old dual Pentium 3 with Debian 3.0 on it | 08:43 |
| Cybertinus | because the motherboard is failing and now the USB-controller is gone :p | 08:43 |
| cc_INC | I'm a regular user. Wanted to study to become an administrator. Got the books and everything, but lack of time is a b... | 08:43 |
| cc_INC | So basically you got a system with no USB? | 08:44 |
| Cybertinus | indeed | 08:44 |
| cc_INC | Haha, sick! | 08:44 |
| Cybertinus | but it is an old dual P3, so it still has an PS/2 connector for a keyboard | 08:44 |
| cc_INC | You do have a CD-drive I hope....or do you get all you need from the net. Dropbox? | 08:45 |
| Sysi | I thin he's talking about a server, not his desktop machine | 08:45 |
| Cybertinus | it is a server in some datacentre. All it needs are updates (which aren't available anymore for Debian 3.0). And I get those from the internet yes ;) | 08:45 |
| cc_INC | Oh I have two old machines a Pentium 3 and a P4. One of them still has Windows :( I use that in my studio for recording purpose only. And the other runds Crunchbang. Got Xubuntu on my trusty IBM T60. | 08:46 |
| Cybertinus | normaly I don't see that server. I log into it remotly with SSH | 08:46 |
| Sysi | uhm, and this is actually support channel, you should go #xubuntu-offtopic for general chatting | 08:46 |
| cc_INC | Sysi sorry :( | 08:46 |
| cc_INC | Will do... | 08:46 |
| Cybertinus | ah, right. sorry Sysi. You've got a point there. Moving on to #xubuntu-offtopic | 08:46 |

| starn | hello eveyone, and good morning. | 13:12 |
| baizon | hi | 13:13 |
| starn | i got a dumb question... kinda ashamed to ask... but how do i keep my mouse pointer from disappearing? | 13:13 |
| starn | no one know?? or just slow to reply? | 13:32 |
| starn | like it wouldn't bug me if it stayed for like 10-30 seconds.. but it disappears after about 2-3 seconds of mouse being idle. | 13:33 |
| TheSheep | starn: I'm pretty sure it shouldn't do that | 13:37 |
| starn | TheSheep: really?? it's been doing this since i install xubuntu.. | 13:38 |
| Sysi | is it only on terminal? | 13:38 |
| starn | Sysi: the entire desktop. | 13:38 |
| Sysi | ..I'm not sure if it still should happen | 13:38 |
| starn | like it's useful kinda when the walpaper changes to a pretty walpaper and i wanna see it with out anything for screenshots or w/e but i can just move my mouse to one of the four corners of me screens.. lol | 13:39 |
| starn | but i have multiple monitors and sometimes i forget where i put my pointer... so yeah.. it disappears kinda like it would if there was a full screen video.. and to what i am aware of i have looked in all the settings tabs for something to configure it.. could it be because i use nVidia? | 13:43 |
| starn | Hey, I'll be right back so i'm sorry for any delays in replies. i am a little sick. | 13:44 |
| RobinJ | why, if i overwrite ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml, don't the settings apply? | 13:52 |
| starn | i am back. | 14:01 |
| starn | i can't find anything on google :\ | 14:17 |
| starn | what was the channel for help with Video Games such as Unreal tournament 2004 nexuz quake Americas army minecraft on linux? | 14:22 |
| Kingsy | hey guys, I am a little confused about setting up my panels, how do you put some items on the far right? | 16:29 |
| Sysi | add spacer left to them and set it to expand (right click -> properties) | 16:29 |
| Kingsy | ahh cooool | 16:30 |
| Kingsy | Sysi: thanks man, pretty obvious actually | 16:32 |
| Sysi | logical but not obvious | 16:32 |
| Kingsy | Sysi: how do you go about changing the appearence of xfce? | 16:36 |
| Sysi | settings -> appearance and settings -> window manager | 16:37 |
| Kingsy | Sysi: I don't have "appearence and settings" in my settings menu | 16:37 |
| Sysi | if you want new themes, check gnome-look.org gtk3 section and xfce4-look.org xfce-section | 16:37 |
| Sysi | Kingsy: whops, just appearance in settings manager | 16:37 |
| Kingsy | I see a settings editor? | 16:38 |
| Kingsy | oh nm | 16:38 |

| Rezn0rNInchNails | I would like to install xubuntu dapper on older machine. I downloaded alternate iso and put it on Verbatim 8 GB usb stick with unetbootin but I get incorrect cd rom. Please help. | 16:51 |
| Kingsy | Sysi: do you know of a netspeed applet that works in a xfce panel ? | 16:51 |
| Sysi | Rezn0rNInchNails: dapper is unsupported, try lucid | 16:54 |
| Sysi | Kingsy: no | 16:54 |
| Kingsy | hmm I wonder if there is one | 16:54 |
| Rezn0rNInchNails | Sysi: Thanks, I will give Lucid a try. | 16:55 |
| Sysi | Kingsy: search for one in synaptic or software center if you can't see one installed by default | 16:56 |
| Kingsy | Sysi: well netspeed is there in the software centre.. but that is a gnome applet so I am assuming it wont run in xfce? | 16:57 |
| Sysi | I think xfapplet broke after gnome3 | 16:58 |
| Sysi | I think there has been xfce-netperf-plugin or something | 16:58 |
| Kingsy | can find any info on that | 17:01 |
| Kingsy | well nevermind, I will do it later.. gotta run now.. | 17:01 |
| Kingsy | see ya all later | 17:02 |
