I don't have access to my terminal now :S [00:28] you could try running xterm [00:28] is there a run command prompt? === go8765|off is now known as go8756 [00:48] leontopod: Alt-F2 [00:50] then, Alt-F2 [00:50] and type xterm [00:50] oh he signed off [01:03] I can't seem to get xfce to apply and maintain its default application preferences [01:04] default browser is chrome. If I run chrome it says its not the default browser. if I run firefox it says its not the default browser. but if I click the 'make my default browser' it still doesn't take [01:07] actually it launches chrome, but it complains its not the default browser [01:10] enbloc, it sounds like what you want is to turn off checking to see if X is the default browser for both browsers === mikael_ is now known as Guest42932 [02:01] my system is acting strange, I have no trouble logging in, but when I try and run synaptic or a sudo command, my password is rejected!? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === jmcantrell_ is now known as jmcantrell === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === moylan1 is now known as moylan [10:10] hi. how can i restore all the settings to 3 days ago?

[10:17] :( [10:17] i just want to restore my xubuntu to its default setting [10:18] is that just xfce or the whole os? [10:18] reinstall xubuntu from scratch is probably the best way [10:18] XFCE [10:18] make a new user [10:19] there are folders you can remove like .config etc, I dont remember exactly which [10:19] thats a good idea [10:20] ill make a new user [10:20] what's wrong with your current settings? [10:21] no network manager icon in the panel. how to put it there? [10:24] mongy from where i can make a new user and delete current user?? [10:25] NM is in the session startup menu [10:28] mongy: its checked there [10:28] do you have any network connections configured in /etc/network/interfaces then ? [10:29] yes [10:29] a dsl [10:30] if any are setup there then network manager ignores them [10:30] or doesnt show at all [10:32] so, this is why the NM icon doesnt show? [10:32] should I delete the file? [10:32] if they are managed in interfaces file, yes [10:32] pastebin your interfaces file [10:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/803876/ [10:34] so which one do you want to manage in NM? [10:35] one dsl and one mobile broadband [10:36] however, I dont understand whats written in the file [10:38] just put a # in front of lines 5 to 14 [10:38] ok [10:41] should I restart then? [10:41] yeah ok [10:41] or restart networking and logout/login [10:51] mongy: the icon is there now. thx! :) [10:51] np [11:37] excuse me [11:37] xubuntu and xfce which costs less resource [11:46] ? [11:47] mogitux, maybe I should say more clearly [11:47] wait a minute plz [11:49] I'm sorry that I don't know the name of the word [11:49] just I'm choosing one from xubuntu, xfce , openbox ,kde..... [11:50] xubuntu is basic parts of ubuntu with xfce [11:50] the one that costs the least resources would be lxde/openbox [11:50] but xubuntu/xfce aint really that much diffrerent. [11:51] mogitux, I've found the difference by tying them, but I don't know which one costs less [11:52] mogitux is not mongy :þ [11:52] hello here [11:53] hi [11:56] well, despite openbox, which one should I choose [11:58] depends on your hardware [11:59] p4 2.4G [11:59] mongy, I always feel that it works too slow [12:00] while using firerox, the Usage of my CPU is never smaller than 90% [12:01] haveboot up xubuntu live and try it. also try lighter versions of the apps, like use midori, or epiphany instead of firefo [12:03] but i depends on firefox's add-ons [12:03] such like lastpass( without it, i can do nearly nothing... ) [12:03] try iceweasal, it can use ff addons I believe [12:04] I may try it [12:04] I just tried openbox, but I don't konw why that I can't use wifi... [12:06] how do u think about lubuntu? [12:07] very light [12:07] uses lxde/openbox [12:08] If I change to lubuntu with openbox, will things be better? [12:08] uses less memory/cpu, so yes [12:09] but using heavy apps wont help [12:09] is libreoffice a heavy app? [12:10] I think it is [12:10] so do firefox [12:14] libre is heavier than abiword/gnumeric yes [12:20] mongy, thanks.I will try lubuntu + openbox then [12:26] hello everyone :) [12:26] could you help me how can I set up network bridgind on Xubuntu? [12:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BridgingNetworkInterfaces [12:44] any simpler way, like with GUI? :S [12:45] not that I know of. [12:45] never actually done it though [12:53] how make autologin in xfce ? [12:58] is it only me who can't update properly, because archive.canonical.com gives GPG error [12:58] ? [13:00] aguitel, you add something like autologin-user=user in /etc/lightdm.conf [13:01] mongy, i use gdm [13:02] no idea then [13:02] ask in #ubuntu [13:31] mongy, add something like autologin-user=user in /etc/lightdm.conf not solved [13:32] and you are using lightdm? [13:32] mongy, i install lightdm [13:33] did you set it as the default manager? [13:33] mongy, how i do ? [13:37] ugh, I forget. [13:37] it should ask you to choose when you install [13:38] mongy, the conf file is in:/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [13:38] not in /etc/lightdm.conf [13:38] oops, sorry [13:38] is ok ? [13:38] thats the correct location [13:40] then under [SeatDefaults] have these lines. [13:40] allow-guest=false [13:40] autologin-user=youruser [13:40] autologin-session=lightdm-autologin [13:40] user-session=xubuntu [13:41] greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter [13:41] thats what I have in mine.

[15:55] oh well, kubuntu-desktop at least worked [16:35] hello [16:35] hello [16:35] how can i know if i am on a 32 or 64 bits version of xubuntu please [16:38] havane31: uname -m in a terminal - if the reply is something_64 it's 64bit [16:39] I Think ... [16:41] thank you hobgoblin [16:42] i386 for 32, x86_64 for 64bit [16:43] thought so Sysi - then I got all confused with the uname -i response :) [16:43] i saw it on the terminal it is ok [16:43] i had to choose between 32 and 64 bits drivers for my printer [16:44] lucky to get a choice at all havane31 - last time I tried to get a printer going it was great fun ... [16:44] price to pat for freebies I guess [16:45] brother company did a good work [16:46] :) [16:48] xubuntu is the best solution to recycle old computers [16:48] a real green solution [16:48] i proud to use it [16:49] and congratulations for the team building xubuntu [16:52] sorry for my english, i am french [16:59] how do you check your packages to see what you have installed? [17:09] SludgeFactory: i typically open synaptic and put them in order of whats installed [17:09] and narrow down from there [17:09] Afternoon all. One quick question: I'm having an old laptop (1Ghz Celeron, 384Mb RAM), which is struggling to run WinXP. Is there a distribution of xUbuntu that would run decently on such a config? All I really want to use it for is surf the web and watch the odd movie with reasonable ease. [17:09] synaptic was the first tool i used though, and i tend to default to it [17:09] Iznougoud: try it live.. should be fine [17:09] maybe you can find a shop with cheap ram too [17:10] sometimes you can max the ram out in old machines like that for $20 us :) [17:11] holstein: Yes. Not in this case though, although I managed to squeeze in an extra 128Mb as compared to the original 256Mb ;) [17:11] Iznougoud: shoud take 2 256's then, if you can find them.. if you were near me i'd give you one :) [17:11] holstein thanks [17:12] Alas, I fear not. It only has one RAM-slot in which I put a 256Mb stick instead of the original 128Mb stick. And it's got 128Mb on the motherboard. Awful contraption. [17:13] Alas, I fear not. It only has one RAM-slot in which I put a 256Mb stick instead of the original 128Mb stick. And it's got 128Mb on the motherboard. Awful contraption. [17:13] Alas, I fear not. It only has one RAM-slot in which I put a 256Mb stick instead of the original 128Mb stick. And it's got 128Mb on the motherboard. [17:13] Hm.. [17:13] Can't seem to type. [17:13] Iznougoud: no worries.. still, try it live [17:13] try lubuntu... try puppy linux... theres an ubuntu based puppy [17:14] Yes. I suppose I will do that. Should it run "live", it will definitely run as a conventional install. [17:15] Thanks. [17:19] Iznougoud: sometimes installing can be a drag with that low memory [17:19] consider the laternate CD when it comes time to install [17:20] True. Then again, as long as it's worthwile. WinXP is driving me nuts - it takes forever to open windows(!) .. [17:23] what is the twitter cliente native from xfce ? [17:29] I don't think there is specifically native one for xfce [17:33] ok [17:42] aguitel: turpial?

[18:55] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras [18:57] it says Invalid operation xubuntu-restricted-extras [18:59] you need to run that exact string on a terminal [19:00] or search for restricted extras on synaptic [19:00] or in the software center [19:03] i found it. thanks for your help :) [19:05] :) [19:05] not a problem, good luck Hi_Tux [19:13] thank you for saving me from gnome 3 [19:13] :D [19:29] furan: gnome 3? [19:30] +1 [19:40] Hi, is there a way to disable the Trash bin? So that all files are deleted immediately. [19:42] kaetzchen: use rm? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:43] yes that works, but i meant from inside the file manager. With the mouse and stuff. [19:45] dunno faster way than rm [19:45] okay, thx [19:46] Marzata: yeah, ubuntu 11.10 uses it, it's disgusting [19:46] luckily xfce is sooo nice [19:47] another question, the system saves a list of recently used files. where do i disable this? Deleting Zeitgeist doesn't seem to do it and it's not saved in the recently-used.xbel file [19:49] kaetzchen: press shift when deleting [19:49] that way it doesn't go to the bin [19:50] ok [19:57] kaetzchen, use pcmanfm and you can choose not to use trash [20:28] hi [20:28] is there a way to the ubuntu sound startup at the startup of xubuntu [20:28] put [20:29] hmm idk these program really vinny but did you try with etc/init.d ? [20:30] no.. [20:31] I'd think you just have aplay somefile.wav play on startup [20:31] yeah.. [20:31] bah forget it [20:31] can live without [20:32] most definately [20:41] served 21gb of xubuntu torrent so far :) [20:42] actually, no, 60gb if you count both desktops and both alternates [20:43] I deserve a badge!

That underline thing that appears/disappears when pressing Alt. [22:21] you can't [22:23] :_( [22:23] thats so sad [22:24] why would you need to do that? [22:24] what are you trying to achieve? [22:24] maybe there is another way [22:24] because they are really annoying [22:24] i suppose the answer is: you're free to patch it [22:25] how often do you press the alt key? [22:25] knome: believe me I would really like to participate Xubuntu developing [22:25] :) [22:25] csenger41: that's awesome, welcome [22:25] csenger41, i don't think this has to do with *xubuntu* development [22:25] but yeah, welcome [22:26] I've started university last year, now learning programming in C [22:26] it's a long way to know enough to patch such thing :( [22:26] sure [22:27] only if you rely on the university to teach you [22:27] though in the xubuntu development, there are things that don't need knowing c [22:27] you can contribute in various ways [22:28] csenger41: the long answer is that you might be able to remove them with a custom gtk theme, but I have no idea where to even start looking for hints on how to do that [22:29] TheSheep: never mind, luckily it's only in System Manager and Global Menu [22:29] i'm not sure if that is really controllable with gtk themes [22:29] csenger41: no, it's everywhere [22:29] i suppose the highlights are using the same color as fg [22:29] == text [22:29] knome: highlights? [22:29] knome: they are underlines [22:29] yes, underlines, but in a broader sense, they are highlights :) [22:30] knome: they are things like and [22:30] i know what you are talking about [22:30] underline is ;) [22:30] well their appearance depends on programs [22:30] usually it's underlines [22:30] I'm pretty sure you cannot remove them by changing their color to blend into the background, but I think you might be able to remove them by making their font style the same as normal fonts [22:31] they appear in Xchat but not in Chromium [22:31] csenger41: chromium has its own interface code [22:31] TheSheep, ah, so you mean they are technically like html tags? nice. :) [22:31] csenger41: it's a special case [22:31] knome: they are actually html-like tags [22:32] mmh [22:32] knome: the markup language is called differently, bu it works like a small subset of html [22:32] yeah [22:32] sounds funky ;) [22:32] knome: http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/gtk/TextWidget.html <-- se third paragraph [22:33] yeah [22:35] I guess the mnemonics are pretty much built in :/ http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/gtk/GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-new-with-mnemonic [22:36] yeah, that's what i thought, because there is really no sane reason to hide them [22:40] sry guys I g2g now [22:40] cya :) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:52] Hi everyone, I'm trying to install Xubuntu 11.10 on my new laptop with the latest USB Universal Installer and finds the installer on my USB stick, boots to the installer menu etc but when I try to "Run Xubuntu from this USB" or "Install Xubuntu on a Hard Disk", it just blinks for a second and goes back to the menu. Any ideas? [23:52] I tried selecting Xubuntu 11.10 in USB Universal Installer and also tried using the generic Linux Distribution method === Pieman is now known as Paimun
