valdur55Hey! I have this funny problem with xubuntu 11.10 - http://youtu.be/VC7wXPcqjhM01:23
JbPaladinTotally new to Xubuntu distros.  Managed to get LiveCD, boot menu working, select language, then...nothing.  If it's something stupid that I'm missing, please let me know.03:19

ronsonolwhich version are you trying?03:27
JbPaladin11.10  I just got it to boot on a diff laptop, so it may be related to video cards.  I'm guessing at this point.03:40

ronsonolJbPaladin are you doing x86 or AMD64?03:45
JbPaladinAMD64, with a Core2 on both systems.03:48
JbPaladinI've got an A8, but was a little wary of trying it on a APU.03:50
ronsonolJbPaladin, you may want to go bleeding edge and get 12.04 Beta 1.  I installed it last night.  Less buggy than the final days of 11.10 AMD64 so far.03:51
JbPaladinI'll give it a shot.  I am curious as to how it will get along with the newer AMD chips.03:54

calicohey guys, my skype doesn't use the xfce theme :S how could i fix that09:33
calicoalso my xchat constantly crashs when i try to join channels or connect to more servers, when i try to open new tabs or windows generaly09:38
Sysido you have any kde apps installed?09:39
hobgoblintry running xchat from a terminal and seeing what that says09:40
calicostill crashes09:41
Sysidoesn't say anything in terminal?09:42
calicono, just starts normally09:42
Sysibut when crashing09:43
calicoit freezes and if i wouldn't do anything it just stays freezed i close it with right click close and it says that the program is unresponsive09:44
hobgoblinfunny how09:46
hobgoblinwhoops09:46
caliconow it just disappeared....09:46
hobgoblincalico: do you have a lot of customisations in xchat - alerts/autojoins etc09:46
hobgoblinI'd be inclined to rename .xchat2 to xchat2 and then see if it does the same09:47
calicohow do i do that hobgoblin09:48
calicoi have alerts turned on yes, but the problem was present even before that, but still it wasn't so aggressive09:48
hobgoblinclose xchat, in a terminal    mv .xchat2 xchat - or if you'd rather just right click and rename in thunar - then restart xchat - it will be default then09:49
hobgoblinalso when xchat crashes on me I tend to find that I need to ghost my nick as it's still registered with freenode09:50
calicoit seems ok now09:51
calicocould i make my customisations again09:52
calicosafely09:52
hobgoblinok - then I would start to put them in - if it crashes with one - then remove it and start again with the remainder09:52
hobgoblinno idea about skype though - don't use it09:53
calicotnx09:54
calicothere's just one forum with same problem09:55
calicohttp://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/skype-doesnt-use-the-xfce-theme-865440/09:55
calicobut it is slackware09:55
calicois it the same for xubuntu or rather not...09:55
hobgoblinnot sure - I used to do this for qt stuff - http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/using-gtk-2-themes-with-qt-applications/ - but I'm not sure if xubuntu is using gtk2 or gtk3 now09:56
calicoRun the command in a terminal:10:03
calicoqtconfig-qt410:03
calicoSelect "GTK+" from the "Select GUI Style" menu.10:03
calicodid that and restarted skype but no success10:03
calicooh in the console i got QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.10:04
hobgoblinthat'll be why then10:04
hobgoblinnot going to be able to help - sorry10:04
Sysimousepad ~/.gtkrc-2.010:05
Sysiput ''include "/usr/share/themes/greybird/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" '' there if you're using default theme10:05
calicouh! i opened that program and made the gtk+ background grey, restarted skype and it is black10:06
Sysiif you want to change theme you need to edit/rename that file, make a note somewhere10:06
calicothis is still quite acceptable tho!10:06
calicoi am using high contrast inverse?10:07
Sysiinclude "/usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/gtk-2.0/gtkrc10:08
calicok, just to make sure, the file was empty and i insterted the following: include "/usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"10:10
calicois this correct10:10
Sysisounds about right10:12
calicocool10:13
calicothank you guys Sysi hobgoblin10:13
Sysinp10:13
hobgoblinthanks sysi - hobgoblin makes notes10:13

grouinosallo13:02
grouinosis there sombody ?13:02
grouinosabout problem with xubuntu 11.10 and xmbc and plugin arte7, problem from gigolo i think, can i use samba and not gigolo ?13:04
mongynot used xbmc, sorry.  I use mythtv13:12
Sysigigolo's just GUI for gvfs or something, not any need to use it13:13
starnis there anything better for linux than me-tv?? it seems glitchy in the video... like my tv tuner works just fine perfect picture and reseption yet me-tv acts like it has poor signal.13:14
mongystarn: change the deinterlacing mode?13:15
starnmongy: doesn't seem to help.. it's acting more like a signal issue.. but i know it's not.13:16
mongyI remember having to change the video output to xv as well13:16
starndoes me-tv have issues getting certain signal ranges?13:16
mongynever had a problem viewing channels.  all I know is the defaults suck13:17
starnmongy: i'll try the xv...   what deinterlace do you use?13:17
mongyI think tv-time and the other are basically the same for me13:17
starnthere is none standard and tvtime.13:17
starni don't mind low quility but i dislike skipping.. haha13:18
mongystandard then13:18
starnok i changed to xv and it skiped at first but now it's running as smooth as other OS's.. thanks mongy i think ya fixed it :)13:19
mongytry mplayer13:19
mongyoh, ok13:19
starnmongy: i don't know how to use mplayer for tv..13:19
mongyyeah by default its using something old like XVideo13:20
mongynot that , argh, I forget13:20
mongyyou 'll need to create a channels.conf to use it with mplayer13:21
mongydo you know your transmission name?13:21
starnmongy: alright that shouldn't be hard?? seeing how i have only 6 stations?13:21
starnonly what me-tv says and other OS's tvtuner programs.13:21
mongylook in /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/13:22
starnme-tv shows the frequency's in hz... and channel names :)13:22
mongyif you know which tower is closest, you can use use scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/uk-Belmont -o zap | tee ~/.mplayer/channels.conf (mine being Belmont)13:23
starnwhat about united states?13:24
mongyyou'll want dvb-s then13:25
mongyor dvb-c13:25
mongynot sure, I'm not familiar with american tv13:25
starnamerican is strictly digital.13:26
mongyvlc has an auto scanning feature.. but me-tv is better overall than mplayer/vlc13:28
mongythey don't have a nice channel list/EPG13:28
starnmongy: yeah.. considering changing to xv stopped the skipping i think i'll stick with the saying "if it's not broken don't fix it"13:29

Pasq89i had 3 windows opened, and a pdf, and then restarted . now i dont see top panel of xubuntu.. xfce is not properly working.. what can i do?17:16
Pasq89i removed .confg/xfce4 but still top panel dont apears, and also the windows i had open before, they reopen after i login.17:17
Pasq89its like i saved session..17:21
Pasq89how can i delete it?17:21
vins_settings manager  /  session & startup    its over there17:21
vins_uncheck    it17:22
Sysivins_: that doesn't delete saved sessions and IIRC it doesn't work, you need to run "rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions" and should use tap in logout window17:33

sparkyhi I new to xubuntu and I'm having trouble using virtualbox. When I go to create the virtual disk it keeps freezing up. Any help is appreciated20:41
mongysparky: making a dynamic or static disk?20:45
sparkystatic20:45
sparkyany idea why it would stall out?20:48
beatasparky: Encrypted home directory?20:55
sparkyyes20:55
beataI have the same issue. I created the disk file on an unencrypted area. I *think* it should work without stalling if you moved the file afterward; I've done so with one and haven't had trouble.20:58
sparkyalright I'll give it a shot. Thanks20:58
knomebeata, have you filed a bug for that?21:18
beataI ought to, yes. But I haven't.21:19
knomei think that would help a lot21:19
mongyif I create a static about 8gig or more then my whole desktop stalls and apps go grey, but that's just a fail of linux in general.  Tried a different scheduler same deal.  Always been this way.21:25
knomethere is no "fail of linux in general". every bug is specific.21:26
mongyit's the same with anything that's using disk intensively.21:27
mongytried various distros various filesystems.21:27
knomeprobably, but those should probably have some nice then...21:27
mongyit's one of the first things I noticed coming from windows about 8-9 yrs ago when I used vmware and never saw anything like that.21:28
BabarosaHi there!21:42
Babarosa@knome: on your website you wrote, "n addition to those who are testing the daily builds, we’d like to have some feedback on the usability of the color scheme"21:42
BabarosaI created a suite of coloured variations using your greybird theme21:44
Babarosait works fine in xubuntu 12.04 beta121:44
Babarosato my mind, we don't have a lot of themes working in gtk321:46
Babarosais there any interest in new themes for 12.04?21:46
mongyI prefer darker themes.  My screen is shiney and nice and light ones dont't look great.  Zukitwo-Dark for overall appearance is ok for me.21:56
