[03:56] <RadiumCat> hello, xfce on my laptop does not use 100% CPU power when needed, and that makes the overall performance very sluggish. is there a tool i can use that can help me run the CPU at its optimum speed?
[03:57] <RadiumCat> join #ubuntu
[04:13] <RadiumCat> not much of a support channel?
[04:13] <RadiumCat> up yours.
[04:25] <sinedeviance> hi all! i am having a very strange problem where xubuntu does not want to remember my choice of default browser
[04:25] <sinedeviance> i have also tried 'sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser' to force it, to no avail
[04:25] <sinedeviance> i'm trying to set chromium-browser if that helps
[04:26] <sinedeviance> Apparently it only works if I set Firefox as default. chromium-browser didn't show up in the list, so i added it manually.
[04:31] <Unit193> sinedeviance: Does it help to go to Menu > Settings > Settings manager > Preferred Programs?
[04:32] <sinedeviance> Unit193, it wasn't helping but i think i just figured out a workaround
[04:32] <Unit193> Reminder there are gnome-www-browser, x-www-browser, and www-browser :P
[04:32] <sinedeviance> okay, so if you go into Preferred Apps and manually set 'chromium-browser' to be default, THEN you open Chromium itself and tell it to NOT check if it default again, it seems to 'fix' the problem
[04:33] <sinedeviance> so... apparently it's a chromium gnome3 settings issue
[04:33] <sinedeviance> when chromium asks to be default and you click yes, something gets messed up
[04:33] <sinedeviance> i'm gonna try this on my laptop and reboot it real quick. please hold :D
[04:34] <sinedeviance> okay, laptop is rebooting. just an FYI, chromium-browser does not appear on the web browser list in Preferred Apps by default. you have to add it manually.
[04:35] <Unit193> So Chromium doesn't show by default but.... Lynx does? XD
[04:35] <sinedeviance> setting stuck!
[04:35] <sinedeviance> so it worked
[04:36] <sinedeviance> i rebooted xubuntu, opened XFCE menu, and clicked the Web Browser link. which then opened chromium as expect.
[04:36] <sinedeviance> expected* even
[04:36] <sinedeviance> Unit193, yes, and interestingly enough, Debian Sensible also shows up even though I do not have it installed :D
[04:37] <Unit193> Well, that's good that you got it to work though
[04:37] <sinedeviance> in any case, if anyone else has this issue with chrome/chromium, just tell them to click 'dont ask again' when chromium starts up, then set it manually in preferred apps
[04:37] <sinedeviance> yeah thanks, it's been bugging me for days now D:
[04:38] <sinedeviance> otherwise, i'm loving xubuntu 11.10. i think it should be linux of the year 2011.
[04:39] <sinedeviance> if xubuntu 12.04 is half as good i'll happily upgrade
[04:39] <Unit193> Upgrades don't always go well, but it's looking awesome already
[04:40] <Unit193> You can try it now in a VM, but I don't quite recommend it for everyday use
[04:41] <sinedeviance> yeah, it's still alpha
[04:41] <sinedeviance> by the way, what music player do you use? gmusicbrowser isn't for me because i like syncing devices, but banshee isn't great either
[04:41] <sinedeviance> i was thinking clementine, but then there's the whole 'kde libs' problem
[04:41] <Unit193> Music *player* is VLC :P
[04:41] <Unit193> I know someone that uses and likes that on Xubuntu
[04:44] <sinedeviance> eh, vlc is better as a movie player inmo
[04:44] <sinedeviance> also vlc runs on kde libs as well
[04:44] <sinedeviance> it uses QT
[04:45] <Unit193> Qt, yes
[04:45] <Unit193> Plays MP3s fine
[04:47] <sinedeviance> yeah but no library :D
[04:47] <sinedeviance> also vlc cant sync devices to my knowledge
[04:48] <Unit193> I don't need those ;)  Rhythmbox is what Ubuntu uses
[04:48] <sinedeviance> welp, i'm gonna go eat. thanks for the help :D
[04:48] <Unit193> !best
[04:48] <Unit193> Sure, have great food
[04:49] <sinedeviance> thanks a lot :D
[04:59] <blackarchan> can someone help me build an install xfce-settings v4.9 and xfce-panels v4.9?
[05:00] <Unit193> Should be a readme in the download package, and I may recommend #xfce
[05:04] <blackarchan> Unit193: tnx...i ask here to because im tryng on xubuntu 11.10 and it has a verry nice empty README
[07:48] <carson_> anyone here?
[07:50] <carson_> Anyone here?
[07:50] <baizon> hi

[16:37] <qpnaosc> hello
[16:38] <qpnaosc> just wondering if anyone could help me with my dvd drive that I just installed
[16:38] <qpnaosc> it was cannibalized from another computer, and now I don't think it's recognized

[16:55] <qpnaosc> ttyl
[18:21] <artao> good day :D ... I'm working on 'installing' some programs that weren't in Synaptic and don't really have any 'package' per say .. just precompiles binaries and their settings in their own folder structure ... .... is there a "correct" place to put these? Is it 'safe' to just use $HOME/bin ??
[18:22] <Sysi> your home (and folders under it )is safest
[18:22] <artao> cool. what i kinda thought
[18:23] <artao> thx for confirmation and comforting ;p
[19:15] <Kingsy> what do you guys use to capture video/audio from a webcam ?
[19:16] <Kingsy> cheese is DREADFUL.. I am trying to capture a reasonably high resolution
[19:16] <Kingsy> and vlc just doesnt work
[19:19] <Kingsy> well vlc does work.. but it doesnt capture cam audio
[19:24] <Kingsy> actually scrap that.. I got it working with ffmpeg but it doesnt capture audio either..
[20:10] <likemindead> Did a rm -rf on my wisdom teeth yesterday. :-\
[20:14] <TheSheep> likemindead: tell us more at #xubuntu-offtopic :)
