[01:51] <artao> hai
[01:52] <artao> i know this is an xfce channel, but #kubuntu is completely dead .... i'm just wondering if there's some 'quick' console command i can use to refresh my mouse cursor
[01:53] <artao> i'm pretty sure it's just my crappy gfx card, old ass x600 256meg card
[01:53] <artao> i'm on a dual head display, and regularly the mouse cursor turns into a square of noise on one of the monitors. sometimes both.
[01:54] <artao> logging out and back in fixes it, but it always comes back
[02:01] <mosno> artao, try xrefresh although i'm not sure the pointer would be included
[03:22] <artao> nope. no result
[03:23] <artao> mosno ^^
[03:26] <mosno> artao, check LP perhaps
[04:05] <artao> mosno, check LP ??
[04:06] <mosno> artao, launchpad
[04:13] <artao> launchpad?
[04:13] <artao> mosno? what is that?
[04:14] <mosno> artao, first hit on Google. yo!
[04:14] <artao> my installation started with Ubuntu Studio (ubuntu 11.10 with xfce) then i installed a BASE KDE
[04:14] <mosno> artao, bug tracking system
[04:15] <artao> i'mmmm ... not seeing help there
[04:16] <artao> all i want is to force my mouse cursor to refresh into an actual mouse cursor lolz
[04:17] <mosno> i don't know artao
[04:17] <mosno> perhaps try askubuntu or the mailing lists
[04:17] <artao> i spose
[04:17] <artao> i doubt that would help, as my gfx card is pretty old
[04:18] <artao> i was just hoping for a 'quick fix' outside of logging-out/loggin-gack-in
[04:20] <mosno> artao, perhaps try switching to a text-mode virtual console and back again
[04:21] <mosno> eg. CTRL+ALT+F1, then ALT+Fwhatever
[04:22] <nonau> I believe the GUI level is F7
[04:23] <nonau> eg. CTRL+ALT+F7
[04:38] <artao> nope. tried. no luck there
[04:39] <artao> i'm pretty sure it's the kde graphics driver, but there appears to be no on on #kubuntu so i was hoping someone here might know
[06:12] <BlakJak> is there an equivalent of gconf-editor for xubuntu?
[06:34] <asterismo> hi
[06:37] <asterismo> i have some problem with directory menu plugin, can anyone help?
[06:39] <Marzata> directory menu plugin?
[06:40] <asterismo> yes
[06:40] <asterismo> you see
[06:40] <asterismo> i installed nautilus as default file manager
[06:40] <asterismo> and set nautilus in preferred applications
[06:40] <Marzata> in Xubuntu?
[06:40] <asterismo> i did it in my desktop pc and everything is fine
[06:40] <asterismo> yes
[06:40] <asterismo> xubuntu
[06:41] <asterismo> and directory menu plugin works great
[06:41] <asterismo> BUT
[06:41] <Marzata> why caps?
[06:41] <asterismo> i tried the same in my netbook
[06:41] <asterismo> installed nautilus
[06:41] <asterismo> but  when i go to select as default (in preferred applications)
[06:41] <asterismo> nautilus is not there
[06:41] <Marzata> just type it
[06:41] <asterismo> it's like it is not recognizes as a file manager
[06:41] <asterismo> yes
[06:42] <asterismo> i type the command
[06:42] <asterismo> nautilus
[06:42] <asterismo> then directory menu plugin opens nautilus always in my home directory
[06:42] <asterismo> no matters what folder i selected
[06:42] <asterismo> do you see the bug?
[06:42] <Marzata> no, where?
[06:43] <asterismo> when nautilus is not recognized as a file manager in preferred applications
[06:43] <asterismo> directory menu do not work
[06:43] <asterismo> properly
[06:43] <asterismo> it does not allow me to browse folders and the open them
[06:44] <asterismo> it always opens nautilus in my home folder
[06:44] <asterismo> i tried reinstalling nautilus and nothing
[06:44] <asterismo> directory menu keeps doing this
[06:45] <Marzata> I think Xubuntu 11.10 at some stage, probably after an update, forgets the default applications.
[06:45] <Marzata> I think you should see how nautilus is started in the one that works
[06:46] <Marzata> probably it is with some key, nautilus %u, or nautilus %s, and start it the same way...
[06:46] <Marzata> dunno what is the correct one
[06:52] <asterismo> and how do i see that command in the one it works...
[06:57] <asterismo> i figured it out
[06:57] <asterismo> i noticed that in preferred applications there were 2 Thunar entries
[06:58] <asterismo> that in fact 1 of them is nautilus missnamed
[10:08] <miarf> would you say that having display compositing cause really choppy window movements is normal on a modern computer?
[10:17] <well_laid_lawn> nope
[10:19] <miarf> right, time to do a bit of troubleshooting then
[10:21] <miarf> just installed xubuntu 11.10, updated it and installed the proprietary nvidia driver
[14:10] <leoncrow> hey anyone in here?
[14:11] <miarf> yes
[14:11] <leoncrow> oh ok cool
[14:11] <leoncrow> i have a xubuntu question
[14:11] <Marzata> leoncrow: of coz you have
[14:11] <leoncrow> lol
[14:12] <leoncrow> when i connect my blackberry usb to my computer it doesnt show up on either end
[14:12] <Marzata> leoncrow: you are in usa?
[14:12] <leoncrow> i googled it and there seemed to be a couple of people with similar problems but no suggested solutions. it's a lenovo thinkpad sl500 and im running like ocelot oneiric, forget the number. any tips?
[14:13] <leoncrow> hm nope
[14:13] <leoncrow> canada
[14:13] <Marzata> leoncrow: it is the same dialing code
[14:13] <leoncrow> +1 is the country code, yea
[14:14] <Marzata> thinkpad is the right choice, blackberry not that.
[14:14] <leoncrow> haha yea for sure
[14:15] <leoncrow> this is actually my second one, i got an exchange cause the trackpad and buttons became like periodically useless
[14:15] <Marzata> leoncrow: what are you using blackberry for?
[14:16] <GridCube> Marzata: why does that would matter?
[14:16] <leoncrow> i just want to put music on it at the moment, basically
[14:16] <leoncrow> and on my old mac, i think thats what i was using, it would just automatically show up with usb drive as an option and that would activate its display in the like 'my computer' folder equivalent
[14:17] <Marzata> leoncrow: can't you copy the music on its flash card? sd?
[14:17] <leoncrow> im not sure what you mean. when i connect the blackberry it just show up as a folder.
[14:17] <Marzata> leoncrow: no memory card you mean?
[14:18] <leoncrow> just doesnt, i mean
[14:18] <leoncrow> and yea i mean as far as i know theres no memory card you can remove from it, i dont know where it would be
[14:19] <leoncrow> when i take off the cover theres just the battery and sim card
[14:20] <leoncrow> anything i can do to get it to recognize? it works fine with the connecter for my older mp3 player
[14:20] <GridCube> !info barry-util
[14:20] <GridCube> leoncrow: ^^^^^^^
[14:21] <Marzata> what kind of device is that? even my Nokia 101 has a sd card.
[14:21] <GridCube> Marzata: please
[14:21] <GridCube> if you can't help with a problem dont make it worst
[14:22] <leoncrow> gridcube im not sure i understand the 'barry-util' stuff
[14:23] <Marzata> GridCube: sometime is important to have the correct device. You can't expect Linux to work with your proprietary washing machine.
[14:23] <GridCube> okay, listen in xubuntu when you plug a new device it should appear a directory on the desktop, it looks like a folder and you should be able to put stuff there as with any folder
[14:24] <GridCube> Marzata: blackberry its a correct device, its not a washing machine
[14:24] <leoncrow> the blackberry doesnt appear on the desktop
[14:24] <Marzata> GridCube: I'm not quite sure of that.
[14:25] <GridCube> leoncrow: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/syncing-your-blackberry-on-ubuntu.html
[14:26] <leoncrow> thank you gridcube i have to shortly now but i will look over that
[14:28] <leoncrow> also marzata i think your comment is a bit foolish - from the way you've been speaking so far it doesnt sound like you've been trying to be funny in a good natured way. washing machine? 'what kind of device is that?' like get a life jeez, its only a phone. have a nice day.

[16:53] <theShadow-> hello
[16:54] <theShadow-> dos anyone here have any experience dualbooting xubuntu with osx?
[16:55] <theShadow-> specifically, does it require eEFIt
[16:55] <theShadow-> rEFIt
[16:57] <GridCube> mmm i don't know
[16:57] <theShadow-> my main issue is, rEFIt does not support OSX 10.7
[16:58] <GridCube> theShadow-: but for what i understand at that level xubuntu and ubuntu are the same
[16:58] <theShadow-> ok
[16:58] <GridCube> so whatever works for ubuntu it should do for xubuntu
[18:06] <Lideo> hola
[18:14] <Lachezar> Hello people... How can I display boot messages or a boot animation? Currently I get half a minute black screen, followed by two-three second XUBUNTU loading screen, and then I get the DM login prompt.
[18:15] <Lachezar> It seems to me, that plymouth is not started...
[19:24] <ickefes> hi guys. is it possible to get "indicator-cpufreq" to work in Xubuntu 12.04? I have used it in Ubuntu 11.10 but can't get it to work in Xubuntu 12.04.
[19:25] <ickefes> i get "** WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GMountMountFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'"
[19:25] <ickefes> when i launch it in the terminal
[20:56] <popsch> is there a way to suspend the computer from the command line without the need for sudo? pm-suspend requires sudo
[22:20] <cythes> Interesting.... people... O.o
[22:21] <knome> ?
[22:21] <cythes> Nothing, I'm just making light conversation :)
[22:21] <knome> #xubuntu-offtopic is for the lighter side :)
[22:22] <cythes> Oh I see... xD
