[00:19] <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.
[00:28] <GridCube> chris__, you could try using something like synaptics to configure the pointers
[00:32] <chris__> synaptic package manager?
[00:33] <GridCube> no
[00:33] <GridCube> !synaptics
[00:33] <GridCube> with an s
[00:34] <chris__> Oh I see, thanks I will play around with that thanks.
[00:55] <pangolin> I'm a square https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB5YkmjalDg
[01:06] <derek_> Can anyone help me with a problem?
[01:07] <knome> please tell us what the problem is
[01:07] <GridCube> !details | derek_
[01:08] <derek_> My screen resolution before I installed Xubuntu 11 was 1366x768, and now the maximum is 1280x1024.
[01:09] <GridCube> derek_, have you installed the proper drivers for your video card?
[01:10] <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).
[01:11] <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
[01:12] <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/
[01:13] <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
[01:14] <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
[01:16] <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.
[01:17] <GridCube> derek_, you could try creating an xorg.conf file and editing your desired resoultion there
[01:18] <derek_> How do I do that?
[01:20] <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
[01:21] <GridCube> derek_, this seems to be useful too, and easier http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html
[01:22] <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.
[01:24] <GridCube> derek_, then that last howto might be a good place to start
[01:25] <ThePendulum> derek_: Do you know where to find the terminal mate?
[01:25] <ThePendulum> *the terminal, mate?
[01:25] <derek_> Yes.
[04:33] <dan64> Win-R brings up the run dialog on Ubuntu I think. Is there something simlar on Xubuntu?
[04:34] <dan64> (a key shortcut that is as opposed to Accessories --> Run Program...)
[05:24] <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
[08:11] <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?
[09:11] <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?
[12:36] <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?
[12:43] <goliat> So i want to hide the windows partition so i dont accidently tamper with it.
[12:58] <bazhang> goliat, change the timeout for grub?
[13:41] <go8765> can anybody please help me with mounting ntfs? wheen i remount devices i get error about permissions :(
[13:59] <Kaaj> hey can anyone help me with something?
[14:00] <Kaaj> I want to install xubuntu over my this linux installation except the swap is only 500mb
[14:00] <Kaaj> what should I do?
[14:41] <Bill_MI> Hi folks.  12.04 is looking pretty good.  But what's the difference between Xubuntu and Xfce sessions?
[14:43] <Bill_MI> I think they USED to be separated much more?
[14:45] <Sysi> Bill_MI: on first login you should be able to choose between xubuntu and upstream default settings
[14:46] <Bill_MI> Hi Sysi  Thanks.  So what you select fitst time lays it down from then on?
[14:47] <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?
[14:48] <Sysi> I think it couldn't work like that, but IDK I use my own settings
[14:50] <Bill_MI> Yep, I do too.  I don't like that dock. :-)
[14:50] <Bill_MI> Thanks, I'm gonna play awhile.
[14:51] <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
[14:52] <Bill_MI> Hi holstein.  Yep, it's in the Debian Xfce default, too.
[14:53] <holstein> Sysi: i like kupfer/gnome-do better... that workflow (even though that is another piece of software)
[14:54] <Bill_MI> A panel pretending it's a Mac. :-)
[14:55] <Bill_MI> I'm the direct opposite of a distro hopper.  Gettin' too old. :-)  I just may latch onto Xubuntu LTS.
[14:56] <Sysi> I'd run fedora with gnome-shell but I like this community
[14:57] <Bill_MI> I imagine the community to be about the right size, too.  Ubuntu is sorta... well... BIG :-)
[14:58] <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
[14:59] <Bill_MI> Xubuntu 12.04 was very little problem.  I stopped looking at any with Unity.
[15:00] <Bill_MI> In a VM, too.  Yeh, as a long Gnome user I'm afraid they've lost me.
[15:24] <crond> only issue I'm having with 12.04 is audio and wine
[15:24] <crond> weird PCM issues
[15:25] <crond> native apps + audio work fine.  its only wine :S

[16:37] <MeXTuX> I'm having sound problems with VLC Media Player. My Xubuntu version is 11.10. MB is BIOSTAR P4M90-M4 and sound is VT8237A/VT8251 HDA Controller vendor: VIA Technologies, Inc.
[16:46] <SnowBlackRabbit> hi, i wanted to make a action in clipman but i think the action argument does not what it should do... it seems like it does not make a script first so i only get one paragraph of the text i copied, can anybody help me to solve this?
[17:36] <SnowBlackRabbit> i solved it ... it was the regular expression... this reg expr. works: (.|\n)*
[18:46] <xubuntupaule> I can´t see the applet which usually shows the network connection in the top right corner :-( using the live cd and installing it right now
[18:46] <xubuntupaule> 12.04 beta 1
[18:52] <bazhang> xubuntupaule, #ubuntu+1 for that
[18:55] <pandi2456> hi
[18:57] <baizon> hi hi pandi2456
[18:58] <pandi2456> :)
[19:04] <pauleberber> Okay in installed 12.04 beta 1. The usual network manager applet in the upper corner is not appearing!  Accessing my network preferences is no problem through the menu
[19:11] <bazhang> pauleberber, #ubuntu+1 for that
[19:12] <pauleberber> ah okay, thx, here is just stable release support
[19:12] <bazhang> yes
[19:12] <pauleberber> i just followed the onscreen information while doing the installation
[20:34] <goliat> Is there anyway i can hide a partition from Xubunut? I dont want to have my windows partition visible
[20:36] <well_laid_lawn> goliat: is there an entry in /etc/fsab for it?
[20:39] <goliat> well_laid_lawn: not from what i can see
[20:40] <well_laid_lawn> goliat: that should have been /etc/fstab sorry
[20:40] <well_laid_lawn> where does the partition show up?
[20:43] <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
[20:44] <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
[20:45] <well_laid_lawn> one of those uuid lines will have a filesystem that's not ext4, yes?
[20:47] <goliat> Yes thats right, ext4 followed by some error text. The other one is swap i think
[20:54] <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
[20:59] <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
[21:02] <goliat> What is a udev rule?
[21:05] <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
[21:06] <well_laid_lawn> someone in #xfce might know how thunar finds its' partition and whether udev is involved
[21:07] <goliat> Okay ill go ask there, Thank you
[21:07] <well_laid_lawn> cheers
[22:48] <Guest44730> hello all new user here. how can i make my menu transparent?
[22:49] <Guest44730> like the desktop right click "menu"
[22:49] <GridCube> you cant
[22:49] <Guest44730> can't ok thanks
[22:50] <GridCube> you can give transparencies to the panels, but not to the menus themself, or that i understand, i might be wrong Guest44730
[22:50] <Guest44730> u prolly right i did my panels and toolbars
[22:50] <Marzata> Guest44730: you can
[22:51] <Guest44730> thank you GridCube
[22:51] <Guest44730> oh you can?
[22:53] <Guest44730> xubuntu is so nice on my laptop compared to win7
[22:53] <Guest44730> i love it :)
[22:59] <mongy> anyone know why my gnomebaker icon in the top left menu is normal size but right click menu it shows as huge
