[00:39] I'm starting with Xubuntu and want to customize a little my desktop. How can I make a backup??? so if I screw it up I'll can restore to its original state [00:45] just copy your file to some other location [00:49] What's the file name and where is it located?? [00:50] all files in your home folder [00:55] other idea would be to create just another user [00:57] or experiment on the live CD [01:01] backup ~/.config/xfce4 ??? [01:01] backup the whole thing [01:01] all of ~/you [01:27] My window borders are one pixel, which makes them difficult to resize. How do I change the window border thickness in xfce4? [01:28] change the theme you are using dajhorn [01:29] GridCube: I tried to do that after doing a Google search. All of the default Xubuntu themes are the same. [01:30] in fact they are not [01:30] GridCube: I want to use Xubuntu in a HTPC. How do I get 5 or 10 pixel borders? [01:30] http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/capturadepantalla-030312-223023.php [01:31] this one its like 5px wide [01:32] its not that pretty tho, tyrex its nice and has a wide border too [01:34] Bummer. Xfce4 can't change the border thickness except through a theme change. [01:34] you might be able to manually edit the theme [01:35] some of the other themes are nice tho [02:12] for 12.04 beta 1 known issues, how is nm-connection-manager run? [02:27] is anyone around that might be able to give me some advice? it's in regards to forcing a wine window to use 16 bit color depth. after checking the man pages i can't find a setting for it. i've also tried switching X to use 16bpp by default but i can't find xorg.conf in the usual places i'd go to edit it. [02:28] using xbuntu 11.10 and wine 1.3 [02:43] anachoret: i would check #ubuntu+1 [02:44] Cyndar: whats the issue?.. i wouldnt think that would be something you should need to bother with.. i would refer to the application page at wineHQ *if* there is one [02:45] holstein: it's a certain game that can only run in 16bpp [02:46] Cyndar, you should check on #wine [02:47] GridCube: it's invite only at the moment [02:47] no its not [02:47] Cannot join #wine (Channel is invite only). [02:47] holstein: thanks [02:48] oh, yes, sorry my mistake Cyndar, its #winehq [02:48] ah, got it, thanks [02:50] is there any tutorial how to install java on xubuntu? [02:52] Paschalis89: other than OpenJDK? [02:53] Paschalis89: i'd imagine the easiest way would be to open the ubuntu software center and search for jave [02:53] *java [02:53] yes.. dont want the openJDK [02:55] oracle has self-extractors and rpms [02:59] found a tutorial, with 3 commands and it seems to work.. [03:01] thank you anyways! [03:02] what requires distribution other than openjdk? [03:06] got some problems with openJdk.. [03:06] android and such.. [03:06] brb [03:08] <92AAAE1A4> Hm. Admittedly I haven't had any problems, but I haven't really *used* it much either. I'm curious what the particular problems are. [03:39] Is there a way to update xubuntu to the new beta? or do I need to do a clean install? [03:40] ztag100: i would check in #ubuntu+1 ... i mean, you *can* do what you like.. should you is the question [03:42] thanks [05:54] ahoy.

Someone should change instructions here then: [15:18] http://xubuntu.org/news/precisebeta1/ [15:18] in any case david_j_r using tab to autocomplete the name on the terminal would have teached you that :P [15:20] Except I did "nm*" and got nothing [15:20] Also, just launched "nm-connection-editor" and got three GTK-warning/error messages [15:20] mmm, you wrote nm, then press tab twice, and got nothing? [15:20] and no network manager in the systray :( [15:21] yeah, thats a bug [15:21] How can I change/remove the "Web Browser" and "Mail Reader" entries in the menu? [15:21] GridCube: no, but just tried nm and get 9 returns [15:21] sorry - 8 ;) [15:22] including nm-connection-editor [15:22] "nm-applet" appears in Task Manager, but I cannot see it anywhere. [15:22] kvarley, you could try using alacarte, don't know if it does what you need, remember to install alacarte with the --no-install-recommnds flag, because else it would pull half unity/gnome aswell [15:23] If I open Network Connection from Menu > Settings, I get that - but no way to actually initiate connection.

Is there a workaround? [15:25] OK - a wee shame though! [15:25] Thanks for letting me know. [15:25] dan64, read post 10 on the bug report [15:26] sorry, dan64, i meant david_j_r [15:26] I have a small problem with XFCE's terminal: The setting 'Advanced/Compatibility/Backspace key' generates is set to 'Auto-detect'. Now, when I use screen inside such a terminal, non-readline programs (e.g mail) don't recognise the use of the backspace key, but print Ctrl+H instead. Surely, that's no problem, I'm just interested if it leads to other problems if I modify this setting. [15:26] GridCube: thanks - just read #10 ... But see also #13!

[19:25] it is [19:25] well it was installed by default [19:25] but youtube didnt pick it up so i installed it again [19:25] thats when it told me that it's already installed [19:25] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [19:25] i ddi it anyways [19:25] did you install the restricted extras? [19:25] no [19:26] but am doing it now [19:26] ive been having other pressing issues [19:26] like the fact that my EEE PC is too new and there are no drivers for this yet [19:26] so im stuck with 800x600 on a 1024x600 native [19:26] i also live in a uni residence so my internet didnt work while i had no OS on my comp [19:28] i see this windows lookalike in my terminal [19:28] cant proceed [19:28] it's to install the tff font or something [19:28] you can also use the ubuntu software center [19:29] search for "ubuntu restricted extras" [19:29] lemme try [19:31] another problem that seems like a noob problem [19:31] shockwave flash came with it [19:32] when i have it on, my youtube videos lag like mad [19:32] but when i take it off, it's fine although at the beginning of the videos, it tells me it cant detect a flash plugin [19:32] it plays the video nonetheless [19:35] same problem [19:35] i clicked install xubuntu restricted extras [19:36] the flash box has no check mark [19:36] so i check it [19:36] install it [19:36] now when i try watching videos, it still says i need flash 9.0 or higher? [19:36] strange [19:36] so i try installing from the flash website but that doesn't work either [19:37] software center wont let me install the xubuntu restricted extras now [19:37] thats why the installation went fast [19:38] do you have a standard xubuntu installation? [19:38] yes [19:39] strange# [19:39] im getting sick of ubuntu [19:39] the more shit they upgrade every six months, the more bugs there are and the less time they have to really focus on fixing things [19:40] darkurza, perhaps you should use the LTS-versions [19:40] i did that on my old laptop [19:40] worked fine for a while [19:41] ill brb [19:41] darkurza, you use firefox? [19:41] cant start up synaptic [19:41] yeah [19:42] why [19:42] install flash-aid plugin [19:42] aid or add? [19:42] aid [19:42] ok [19:43] is that the package name?

[19:53] yeah [19:53] but i fixed it [19:53] now i can install packages [19:54] what i dont understand is why ubuntu restricted extras will throw a windows console lookalike screen at me with no way of proceeding or going back [19:55] ok so i installed the restricted extras [19:55] still says i need a flash player 9.0 or higher [19:57] darkurza, on firefox, go to the about:addons page, and search for flash-aid addon [19:59] ok running the wizard [20:01] youtube still says i need to install a flash player [20:01] and when i try to, it says failed [20:01] no errors [20:02] thats weird darkurza you are having some other problem somewhere [20:02] ok now it works [20:02] i used the aid plugin to just download a stable release [20:03] thats the best one [20:03] technology has been pissing me off for the past 2 weeks [20:03] the other breaks to often for my taste [20:03] my comp broke 2 weeks ago [20:03] during exam period [20:03] :( [20:03] so i waited 11 days before i bought a new one [20:03] once i buy one, i find out that there are no drivers yet [20:03] my internet wasnät working [20:03] and i had a netbook with no OS [20:04] ja [20:04] oh thank god i can watch wipeout online now [20:04] thanks for your help gridcube [20:04] bist du vielleicht deutscher?
