=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se [00:19] 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] chris__, you could try using something like synaptics to configure the pointers [00:32] synaptic package manager? [00:33] no [00:33] !synaptics [00:33] For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [00:33] with an s [00:34] Oh I see, thanks I will play around with that thanks. [00:55] I'm a square https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB5YkmjalDg [01:06] Can anyone help me with a problem? [01:07] please tell us what the problem is [01:07] !details | derek_ [01:07] 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 ..." [01:08] My screen resolution before I installed Xubuntu 11 was 1366x768, and now the maximum is 1280x1024. [01:09] derek_, have you installed the proper drivers for your video card? [01:10] hey! you gained some pixels :P [01:10] I just feel like this derek_ guy knows me... [01:10] I'm not entirely sure. According to the "Additional Drivers" application, it says I'm using NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173). [01:11] well, that happened to me too, but i finally came to the conclution that graphic drivers for linux are just incredibly lame [01:11] >__< [01:11] derek_, open a terminal and write: xrandr [01:11] So what you're saying is that it can't be fixed? ;_; [01:11] and execute [01:12] see if the desired resolution is there [01:12] No, it's not. [01:12] then your out of luck [01:12] s/your/you're/ [01:13] Well. That's a disappointment. [01:13] derek_, maybe theres a way, but i don't know about it [01:13] sorry [01:14] I'm sure I could get used to this resolution, but it just bugs me that even photos look skewed. [01:14] derek_, http://superuser.com/questions/139073/how-to-add-higher-video-resolution-in-ubuntu-10-04-unr-on-eee1101ha [01:14] might help [01:16] nope it wont [01:16] 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] derek_, you could try creating an xorg.conf file and editing your desired resoultion there [01:18] How do I do that? [01:20] 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] then you edit /etx/X11/xorg.conf and add up your resolution on the desired resolution part [01:20] and then you restart x again [01:20] XD [01:21] derek_, this seems to be useful too, and easier http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html [01:22] derek_: You may be able to fix your screen resolution the same way I pop a dual screen as I boot [01:22] 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] derek_, then that last howto might be a good place to start [01:25] derek_: Do you know where to find the terminal mate? [01:25] *the terminal, mate? [01:25] Yes. [04:33] Win-R brings up the run dialog on Ubuntu I think. Is there something simlar on Xubuntu? [04:34] (a key shortcut that is as opposed to Accessories --> Run Program...) [05:24] dan64: Alt F2, you can change it in keyboard settings [05:24] there also are better apps for run-dialog than default one, like synapse [08:11] 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? === LNCP is now known as Guest68968 === Guest68968 is now known as LNCP [09:11] 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] 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] So i want to hide the windows partition so i dont accidently tamper with it. [12:58] goliat, change the timeout for grub? [13:41] can anybody please help me with mounting ntfs? wheen i remount devices i get error about permissions :( [13:59] hey can anyone help me with something? [14:00] I want to install xubuntu over my this linux installation except the swap is only 500mb [14:00] what should I do? [14:41] Hi folks. 12.04 is looking pretty good. But what's the difference between Xubuntu and Xfce sessions? [14:43] I think they USED to be separated much more? [14:45] Bill_MI: on first login you should be able to choose between xubuntu and upstream default settings [14:46] Hi Sysi Thanks. So what you select fitst time lays it down from then on? [14:47] yeah, because your settings are saved, you can delete them in tty (Ctrl Alt F6) of course [14:47] Do I recall them being separate environments in the past? [14:48] I think it couldn't work like that, but IDK I use my own settings [14:50] Yep, I do too. I don't like that dock. :-) [14:50] Thanks, I'm gonna play awhile. [14:51] the dock is a panel though [14:51] i mean, i dont like/want a dock either, but at least its not an extra piece of software [14:51] I'd use a dock but don't really need it [14:52] Hi holstein. Yep, it's in the Debian Xfce default, too. [14:53] Sysi: i like kupfer/gnome-do better... that workflow (even though that is another piece of software) [14:54] A panel pretending it's a Mac. :-) [14:55] I'm the direct opposite of a distro hopper. Gettin' too old. :-) I just may latch onto Xubuntu LTS. [14:56] I'd run fedora with gnome-shell but I like this community [14:57] I imagine the community to be about the right size, too. Ubuntu is sorta... well... BIG :-) [14:58] I never liked gnome2 and I don't like unity [14:58] is there something critical broken in 12.04? I could enlarge my root partition and install it right now [14:59] Xubuntu 12.04 was very little problem. I stopped looking at any with Unity. [15:00] In a VM, too. Yeh, as a long Gnome user I'm afraid they've lost me. [15:24] only issue I'm having with 12.04 is audio and wine [15:24] weird PCM issues [15:25] native apps + audio work fine. its only wine :S === Compy2 is now known as Compy [15:55] Hello [15:55] WWWW [15:55] d [15:55] d [15:55] d [15:55] ds [15:55] fsd [15:55] fd [15:55] f [15:55] df [15:55] sd [15:55] gfdh [15:55] egf [15:55] ef [16:37] 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] 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] i solved it ... it was the regular expression... this reg expr. works: (.|\n)* [18:46] 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] 12.04 beta 1 [18:52] xubuntupaule, #ubuntu+1 for that [18:55] hi [18:57] hi hi pandi2456 [18:58] :) [19:04] 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] pauleberber, #ubuntu+1 for that [19:12] ah okay, thx, here is just stable release support [19:12] yes [19:12] i just followed the onscreen information while doing the installation === Thermi is now known as thermi [20:34] Is there anyway i can hide a partition from Xubunut? I dont want to have my windows partition visible [20:36] goliat: is there an entry in /etc/fsab for it? [20:39] well_laid_lawn: not from what i can see [20:40] goliat: that should have been /etc/fstab sorry [20:40] where does the partition show up? [20:43] 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] 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] one of those uuid lines will have a filesystem that's not ext4, yes? [20:47] Yes thats right, ext4 followed by some error text. The other one is swap i think [20:54] goliat: so there's an icon on the desktop for it and it shows in thunar's left pane? [20:54] yes, just like a usb stick, i can mount and unmount it to [20:59] 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] it's not something I've had to do [21:02] What is a udev rule? [21:05] udev is the process that finds stuff and makes it available, you can set rules to modify how it works [21:05] it'll be set to make everything available all the time and you don't want that [21:06] someone in #xfce might know how thunar finds its' partition and whether udev is involved [21:07] Okay ill go ask there, Thank you [21:07] cheers === geek is now known as Guest44730 [22:48] hello all new user here. how can i make my menu transparent? [22:49] like the desktop right click "menu" [22:49] you cant [22:49] can't ok thanks [22:50] you can give transparencies to the panels, but not to the menus themself, or that i understand, i might be wrong Guest44730 [22:50] u prolly right i did my panels and toolbars [22:50] Guest44730: you can [22:51] thank you GridCube [22:51] oh you can? [22:53] xubuntu is so nice on my laptop compared to win7 [22:53] i love it :) [22:59] anyone know why my gnomebaker icon in the top left menu is normal size but right click menu it shows as huge
