=== jalcine is now known as jalcine_ === jalcine_ is now known as jalcine [01:18] so, i think i like the default ubuntu unity more than kubuntu [01:19] once you get compiz config and tweak [02:11] trying to make the transition to ubuntu... how can i migrate my outlook pst files from windows into Thunderbird? [02:12] can't figure it out [02:12] 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 [02:13] Zeb: Let me check out if I have anything over here :) [02:13] Zeb: i would install thuderbird on windows, when promted, import from outlook, then copy what is needed from windows's thunderbird [02:13] holstein, that crossed my mind [02:13] Zeb: it literally wont hurt to try it [02:14] 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 [02:15] i thin the windows one works still thats what i did when i left mail clients behind [02:15] i hate gmail [02:15] on the web [02:15] otherwise i'd just do web-based [02:16] i hate clients... i hate backing them up, and migrating and upgrading... syncing [02:17] 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] thus having a synced client regardless of which OS i boot to? [02:17] Zeb: i wouldnt expect that to work [02:17] i just migrated to linux by that method [02:20] ok well im gonna give it a whirl... back in a bit [02:21] Zeb: if you keep backups of that directory, you can try it [02:21] in theory, you just trash the config in windows and linux and restore the one you are about to get [02:35] :-/ [02:36] still wont let me Import Everything [02:36] have to do each one individually, and settings doesnt work [02:36] but it looks like mail at least is chugging along [02:36] i dont think you'll find a better option === jalcine_ is now known as Guest77258 [03:37] 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 [05:25] hi [05:25] i have a problem [05:25] does anybody uses xfce? [05:25] asterismo: Tell us the problem :) [05:25] the directory menu applet [05:26] worked well with thunar file manager [05:26] but i changed it to nautilus [05:26] as the default file manager [05:26] but the directory menu opens nautilus always in home folder no matter what folder i select to open [05:27] any ideas? [05:28] Hmm, can you give me a second to check, please? [05:28] yeah sure! [05:31] 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? [05:34] asterismo: I'm sorry, but I have to leave now. One of my mates will help you. [05:35] ok thanks anyway [05:35] the thing is that menu directory allows you to browse folders and then open them, or open a terminal [05:35] well [05:36] when i browse a folder inside my home... and click open folder [05:36] nautilus (i set nautilus as default file manager in xubuntu) opens always in my home, not the folder i selected [05:36] and that is making the whole applet useless [05:37] does anybody has any idea? [06:32] i think i found the problem [06:32] the problem is that i installed nautilus and it is not in the list of preferred applications [06:33] in xfce settings menu [06:33] is that a bug? [06:34] why XFCE settings do not recognizes nautilus as another file manager other than Thunar? [06:34] asterismo, you can probably configure that. did you google? [06:35] yes but i cannot find nothing [06:35] all howtos say [06:35] go to preferred applications [06:35] scroll down the list and select nautilus [06:36] and i installed nautilus [06:36] but it is not in the list [06:36] i can write the command for nautilus (that is simply nautilus) [06:36] but that makes directory menu plugin not to work [06:37] do it manually then I guess [06:38] manually what [06:39] set it as the prefered app [06:39] yes, but the directory plugin does not work [06:39] hum, well i have never run xfce, === amithkk is now known as ubuntu === ubuntu is now known as marcoceppi_ === khader is now known as ethane === ethane is now known as raju [10:28] 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. [10:29] I've searched and found that you can change the brightness by editing the brightness file in /sys/class/backlight/mbp_backlight [10:29] and was wondering if there's any danger in setting the brightness to past the maximum brightness? [11:42] hi guys,i met a problem. My GTK theme doesn't work. Would anybody please help me? Thanks in advance. [11:44] When I change the gtk theme in the 'Appearance' dialog, it does not make a difference.
