| Zeb | so, i think i like the default ubuntu unity more than kubuntu | 01:18 |
|---|---|---|
| Zeb | once you get compiz config and tweak | 01:19 |
| Zeb | trying to make the transition to ubuntu... how can i migrate my outlook pst files from windows into Thunderbird? | 02:11 |
| Zeb | can't figure it out | 02:12 |
| Zeb | i did sudo apt-get install readpst, and then readpst -r blah.pst, and it converted it, but it still wont open or import into thunderbird | 02:12 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Zeb: Let me check out if I have anything over here :) | 02:13 |
| holstein | Zeb: i would install thuderbird on windows, when promted, import from outlook, then copy what is needed from windows's thunderbird | 02:13 |
| Zeb | holstein, that crossed my mind | 02:13 |
| holstein | Zeb: it literally wont hurt to try it | 02:13 |
| Zeb | holstein, i suppose its either import in a windows environment or import in a linux environment... any import process will still have to take place somewhere | 02:14 |
| holstein | i thin the windows one works still thats what i did when i left mail clients behind | 02:15 |
| Zeb | i hate gmail | 02:15 |
| Zeb | on the web | 02:15 |
| Zeb | otherwise i'd just do web-based | 02:15 |
| holstein | i hate clients... i hate backing them up, and migrating and upgrading... syncing | 02:16 |
| Zeb | if i install thunderbird on my windows boot, and import the pst to thunderbird... can i then just use the same thunderbird file from within my ubuntu boot? | 02:17 |
| Zeb | thus having a synced client regardless of which OS i boot to? | 02:17 |
| holstein | Zeb: i wouldnt expect that to work | 02:17 |
| holstein | i just migrated to linux by that method | 02:17 |
| Zeb | ok well im gonna give it a whirl... back in a bit | 02:20 |
| holstein | Zeb: if you keep backups of that directory, you can try it | 02:21 |
| holstein | in theory, you just trash the config in windows and linux and restore the one you are about to get | 02:21 |
| Zeb | :-/ | 02:35 |
| Zeb | still wont let me Import Everything | 02:36 |
| Zeb | have to do each one individually, and settings doesnt work | 02:36 |
| Zeb | but it looks like mail at least is chugging along | 02:36 |
| holstein | i dont think you'll find a better option | 02:36 |

| WilsonBradley | Hi, I was hoping to get some help with Annoying system crashes. I am new to not well versed in troubleshooting Ubuntu (Yet..;-) For starters Im getting [System program problem detected] often. What log file do I look through for error? Will it say error in the log , using keyword find? Thanks | 03:37 |
| asterismo | hi | 05:25 |
| asterismo | i have a problem | 05:25 |
| asterismo | does anybody uses xfce? | 05:25 |
| JoseeAntonioR | asterismo: Tell us the problem :) | 05:25 |
| asterismo | the directory menu applet | 05:25 |
| asterismo | worked well with thunar file manager | 05:26 |
| asterismo | but i changed it to nautilus | 05:26 |
| asterismo | as the default file manager | 05:26 |
| asterismo | but the directory menu opens nautilus always in home folder no matter what folder i select to open | 05:26 |
| asterismo | any ideas? | 05:27 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Hmm, can you give me a second to check, please? | 05:28 |
| asterismo | yeah sure! | 05:28 |
| JoseeAntonioR | asterismo: Can't seem to find a common bug. The home folder opens every time you click on a folder, or it's a link? | 05:31 |
| JoseeAntonioR | asterismo: I'm sorry, but I have to leave now. One of my mates will help you. | 05:34 |
| asterismo | ok thanks anyway | 05:35 |
| asterismo | the thing is that menu directory allows you to browse folders and then open them, or open a terminal | 05:35 |
| asterismo | well | 05:35 |
| asterismo | when i browse a folder inside my home... and click open folder | 05:36 |
| asterismo | nautilus (i set nautilus as default file manager in xubuntu) opens always in my home, not the folder i selected | 05:36 |
| asterismo | and that is making the whole applet useless | 05:36 |
| asterismo | does anybody has any idea? | 05:37 |
| asterismo | i think i found the problem | 06:32 |
| asterismo | the problem is that i installed nautilus and it is not in the list of preferred applications | 06:32 |
| asterismo | in xfce settings menu | 06:33 |
| asterismo | is that a bug? | 06:33 |
| asterismo | why XFCE settings do not recognizes nautilus as another file manager other than Thunar? | 06:34 |
| philipballew | asterismo, you can probably configure that. did you google? | 06:34 |
| asterismo | yes but i cannot find nothing | 06:35 |
| asterismo | all howtos say | 06:35 |
| asterismo | go to preferred applications | 06:35 |
| asterismo | scroll down the list and select nautilus | 06:35 |
| asterismo | and i installed nautilus | 06:36 |
| asterismo | but it is not in the list | 06:36 |
| asterismo | i can write the command for nautilus (that is simply nautilus) | 06:36 |
| asterismo | but that makes directory menu plugin not to work | 06:36 |
| philipballew | do it manually then I guess | 06:37 |
| asterismo | manually what | 06:38 |
| philipballew | set it as the prefered app | 06:39 |
| asterismo | yes, but the directory plugin does not work | 06:39 |
| philipballew | hum, well i have never run xfce, | 06:39 |

| kcaze | I'm running Ubuntu on a Macbook and it seems to me that the maximum brightness for my backlight is lower than that of the brightness in Mac OS X. | 10:28 |
| kcaze | I've searched and found that you can change the brightness by editing the brightness file in /sys/class/backlight/mbp_backlight | 10:29 |
| kcaze | and was wondering if there's any danger in setting the brightness to past the maximum brightness? | 10:29 |
| aluex | hi guys,i met a problem. My GTK theme doesn't work. Would anybody please help me? Thanks in advance. | 11:42 |
| aluex | When I change the gtk theme in the 'Appearance' dialog, it does not make a difference. | 11:44 |
| aluex | And now my buttons, textboxes and others remain the simple style. | 11:44 |

| aluex | yes, nothingspecial | 11:50 |
| aluex | i updated my system yesterday | 11:50 |
| nothingspecial | try installing the gnome-tweak-tool and using it to change your theme | 11:51 |
| aluex | i did, and it doesn't work either./ | 11:51 |
| nothingspecial | ah | 11:51 |
| aluex | : < | 11:51 |
| nothingspecial | are you using a custom theme? | 11:51 |
| aluex | no, it appears now "very simlpe" | 11:52 |
| aluex | like Win 95 | 11:52 |
| aluex | : P | 11:52 |
| nothingspecial | hi MGnTL | 11:53 |
| nothingspecial | aluex, has a theme problem | 11:53 |
| aluex | ehm. | 11:53 |
| MGnTL | hi. :) | 11:54 |
| aluex | hello , MGnTL | 11:54 |
| MGnTL | hey. What's the problem? | 11:54 |
| aluex | eh, i just cannot change my gtk theme | 11:55 |
| MGnTL | what release of ubuntu? | 11:55 |
| aluex | it is 11.10 | 11:55 |
| MGnTL | okay, how are you trying to change it? | 11:55 |
| aluex | first, i tried to change it in 'System settings' -> Appearance | 11:56 |
| aluex | and i failed | 11:56 |
| aluex | later i searched online and installed gnome-tweak-tool | 11:56 |
| aluex | and it doesn't work either. | 11:56 |
| MGnTL | okay. have you logged in and out since? | 11:56 |
| aluex | yes. | 11:57 |
| MGnTL | can you change between the default ambiance and radiance ones? | 11:57 |
| aluex | No, it just makes no difference when i select them. | 11:58 |
| MGnTL | just a minute while I install gnome-tweka on this machine. :) | 11:58 |
| aluex | and it now appears like win95 | 11:58 |
| aluex | okay | 11:58 |
| MGnTL | sorry; I have no idea. Very odd indeed. I shall look up how to do it via dconf or similiar; you might be best making an account on the Ubuntu Forums and asking there. | 12:00 |
| aluex | all right, thank you . :) | 12:01 |
| MGnTL | sorry I couldn't help. Stick around, someone else might be able to help. :) | 12:02 |
