| chris__ | Hey I was wondering if there is anyway to increase my scrollwheel speed in Xbuntu? I tried looking in the mouse settings, it seems much much slower then in windows. | 00:19 |
|---|---|---|
| GridCube | chris__, you could try using something like synaptics to configure the pointers | 00:28 |
| chris__ | synaptic package manager? | 00:32 |
| GridCube | no | 00:33 |
| GridCube | !synaptics | 00:33 |
| ubottu | For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 00:33 |
| GridCube | with an s | 00:33 |
| chris__ | Oh I see, thanks I will play around with that thanks. | 00:34 |

| derek_ | Can anyone help me with a problem? | 01:06 |
| knome | please tell us what the problem is | 01:07 |
| GridCube | !details | derek_ | 01:07 |
| ubottu | derek_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 01:07 |
| derek_ | My screen resolution before I installed Xubuntu 11 was 1366x768, and now the maximum is 1280x1024. | 01:08 |
| GridCube | derek_, have you installed the proper drivers for your video card? | 01:09 |
| knome | hey! you gained some pixels :P | 01:10 |
| ThePendulum | I just feel like this derek_ guy knows me... | 01:10 |
| derek_ | I'm not entirely sure. According to the "Additional Drivers" application, it says I'm using NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173). | 01:10 |
| GridCube | well, that happened to me too, but i finally came to the conclution that graphic drivers for linux are just incredibly lame | 01:11 |
| knome | >__< | 01:11 |
| GridCube | derek_, open a terminal and write: xrandr | 01:11 |
| derek_ | So what you're saying is that it can't be fixed? ;_; | 01:11 |
| GridCube | and execute | 01:11 |
| GridCube | see if the desired resolution is there | 01:12 |
| derek_ | No, it's not. | 01:12 |
| GridCube | then your out of luck | 01:12 |
| GridCube | s/your/you're/ | 01:12 |
| derek_ | Well. That's a disappointment. | 01:13 |
| GridCube | derek_, maybe theres a way, but i don't know about it | 01:13 |
| GridCube | sorry | 01:13 |
| derek_ | I'm sure I could get used to this resolution, but it just bugs me that even photos look skewed. | 01:14 |
| GridCube | derek_, http://superuser.com/questions/139073/how-to-add-higher-video-resolution-in-ubuntu-10-04-unr-on-eee1101ha | 01:14 |
| GridCube | might help | 01:14 |
| GridCube | nope it wont | 01:16 |
| derek_ | Yeah. I have no idea what I'm even reading. I know some of those words, but they make no sense to me. | 01:16 |
| GridCube | derek_, you could try creating an xorg.conf file and editing your desired resoultion there | 01:17 |
| derek_ | How do I do that? | 01:18 |
| GridCube | well, first you need to kill your current xorg session, you might do this by going to a tty and killing lightdm with a >sudo killall lightdm then you run a >sudo xorg -configure then you restart lightdm and log back in | 01:20 |
| GridCube | then you edit /etx/X11/xorg.conf and add up your resolution on the desired resolution part | 01:20 |
| GridCube | and then you restart x again | 01:20 |
| GridCube | XD | 01:20 |
| GridCube | derek_, this seems to be useful too, and easier http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html | 01:21 |
| ThePendulum | derek_: You may be able to fix your screen resolution the same way I pop a dual screen as I boot | 01:22 |
| derek_ | Yeah, I just started using Xubuntu a couple hours ago. I have no idea how to do any of these things you tell me to do. | 01:22 |
| GridCube | derek_, then that last howto might be a good place to start | 01:24 |
| ThePendulum | derek_: Do you know where to find the terminal mate? | 01:25 |
| ThePendulum | *the terminal, mate? | 01:25 |
| derek_ | Yes. | 01:25 |
| dan64 | Win-R brings up the run dialog on Ubuntu I think. Is there something simlar on Xubuntu? | 04:33 |
| dan64 | (a key shortcut that is as opposed to Accessories --> Run Program...) | 04:34 |
| Sysi | dan64: Alt F2, you can change it in keyboard settings | 05:24 |
| Sysi | there also are better apps for run-dialog than default one, like synapse | 05:24 |
| DerekF | I installed Xubuntu 11.10 32-bit alongside Windows 7, and now I can't boot to Windows 7 anymore. I don't have a W7 installation CD, and I don't have a serial key. Does anyone know what I can do? | 08:11 |

| LNCP | Hey there. After installing the 12.04beta1 on a partition one of my hard drives and installing GRUB to the linux partition, GRUB now starts with the error "symbol not found: 'grub_divmod_64'" and goes into rescue mode. Could anyone help me with this? | 09:11 |
| goliat | Hello, I have just reinstalled GRUB so i now run Xubuntu and Windows 7 on my laptop. I split my hdd into three parts, One for Xubuntu, One for Windows and one that i want to share for both, store music and such. The thing is though that in Windows it leaves my Xubuntu partition alone but in Xubuntu i can acces the windows partition. Can i change that? | 12:36 |
| goliat | So i want to hide the windows partition so i dont accidently tamper with it. | 12:43 |
| bazhang | goliat, change the timeout for grub? | 12:58 |
| go8765 | can anybody please help me with mounting ntfs? wheen i remount devices i get error about permissions :( | 13:41 |
| Kaaj | hey can anyone help me with something? | 13:59 |
| Kaaj | I want to install xubuntu over my this linux installation except the swap is only 500mb | 14:00 |
| Kaaj | what should I do? | 14:00 |
| Bill_MI | Hi folks. 12.04 is looking pretty good. But what's the difference between Xubuntu and Xfce sessions? | 14:41 |
| Bill_MI | I think they USED to be separated much more? | 14:43 |
| Sysi | Bill_MI: on first login you should be able to choose between xubuntu and upstream default settings | 14:45 |
| Bill_MI | Hi Sysi Thanks. So what you select fitst time lays it down from then on? | 14:46 |
| Sysi | yeah, because your settings are saved, you can delete them in tty (Ctrl Alt F6) of course | 14:47 |
| Bill_MI | Do I recall them being separate environments in the past? | 14:47 |
| Sysi | I think it couldn't work like that, but IDK I use my own settings | 14:48 |
| Bill_MI | Yep, I do too. I don't like that dock. :-) | 14:50 |
| Bill_MI | Thanks, I'm gonna play awhile. | 14:50 |
| holstein | the dock is a panel though | 14:51 |
| holstein | i mean, i dont like/want a dock either, but at least its not an extra piece of software | 14:51 |
| Sysi | I'd use a dock but don't really need it | 14:51 |
| Bill_MI | Hi holstein. Yep, it's in the Debian Xfce default, too. | 14:52 |
| holstein | Sysi: i like kupfer/gnome-do better... that workflow (even though that is another piece of software) | 14:53 |
| Bill_MI | A panel pretending it's a Mac. :-) | 14:54 |
| Bill_MI | I'm the direct opposite of a distro hopper. Gettin' too old. :-) I just may latch onto Xubuntu LTS. | 14:55 |
| Sysi | I'd run fedora with gnome-shell but I like this community | 14:56 |
| Bill_MI | I imagine the community to be about the right size, too. Ubuntu is sorta... well... BIG :-) | 14:57 |
| Sysi | I never liked gnome2 and I don't like unity | 14:58 |
| Sysi | is there something critical broken in 12.04? I could enlarge my root partition and install it right now | 14:58 |
| Bill_MI | Xubuntu 12.04 was very little problem. I stopped looking at any with Unity. | 14:59 |
| Bill_MI | In a VM, too. Yeh, as a long Gnome user I'm afraid they've lost me. | 15:00 |
| crond | only issue I'm having with 12.04 is audio and wine | 15:24 |
| crond | weird PCM issues | 15:24 |
| crond | native apps + audio work fine. its only wine :S | 15:25 |

| goliat | Is there anyway i can hide a partition from Xubunut? I dont want to have my windows partition visible | 20:34 |
| well_laid_lawn | goliat: is there an entry in /etc/fsab for it? | 20:36 |
| goliat | well_laid_lawn: not from what i can see | 20:39 |
| well_laid_lawn | goliat: that should have been /etc/fstab sorry | 20:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | where does the partition show up? | 20:40 |
| goliat | well_laid_lawn: I have two lines with UUID. The partition otherwise shows up when i start Xubuntu and i can mount and dismount it | 20:43 |
| goliat | I used to have only Xubuntu on the pc but then i changed the partitions and installed windows on another and then reinstalled GRUB | 20:44 |
| well_laid_lawn | one of those uuid lines will have a filesystem that's not ext4, yes? | 20:45 |
| goliat | Yes thats right, ext4 followed by some error text. The other one is swap i think | 20:47 |
| well_laid_lawn | goliat: so there's an icon on the desktop for it and it shows in thunar's left pane? | 20:54 |
| goliat | yes, just like a usb stick, i can mount and unmount it to | 20:54 |
| well_laid_lawn | I think you need a udev rule to have it not show in thunar and in the settings manager you should be able to turn of showing it on the desktop | 20:59 |
| well_laid_lawn | it's not something I've had to do | 20:59 |
| goliat | What is a udev rule? | 21:02 |
| well_laid_lawn | udev is the process that finds stuff and makes it available, you can set rules to modify how it works | 21:05 |
| well_laid_lawn | it'll be set to make everything available all the time and you don't want that | 21:05 |
| well_laid_lawn | someone in #xfce might know how thunar finds its' partition and whether udev is involved | 21:06 |
| goliat | Okay ill go ask there, Thank you | 21:07 |
