[00:32] Is there an Xubuntu wubi installer? (Not that I like Windows, but I just need to run Windows applications, and I don't like Wine.) [00:36] Is there? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:28] what does the 'open with...' dialog use to populate the list? [04:42] hey! How do I setup dual monitors so that one screen extends the other rather than cloning the other [04:44] running 11.10 using Xfce, clean install, intel chipset graphics, second monitor is running hdmi, first is dvi... [04:45] I tried apt-get install nvidia-settings but that causes both screens to go black after a restart just before I log in [04:45] had to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get the screens back again [04:45] surely this should be straight-forward [05:04] twilson_: there's a gui for that in the settings manager [05:04] you mean Settings Manager > Display? I can't find any option to not clone the screens [05:05] my options are Use this output; Resolution; Refresh Rate; Rotation; Reflection [05:06] twilson_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62681/how-do-i-setup-dual-monitors-in-xfce [05:07] cheers [05:07] or use arandr [05:12] bbl [05:15] arandr worked [05:15] thanks [05:19] Do any y'all have recommendation of a particular theme set to begin, to learn to customise/create new themes? [06:16] hello everyone [06:17] is there any way to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 ? or i have to reinstall from cd? [06:21] !12.04| hety [06:21] hety: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [06:21] psycho_oreos, do you happen to see / know an answer to question I asked here few hours ago? [06:22] ow :) [06:22] gry, just saw your question in my chat buffer, I'm afraid I don't have a clue on that [06:22] gry, curiously, the gnome documentation won't cover that? or maybe even asking in #gnome for example? [06:23] oh, sorry. I'm using xfce. I didn't check gnome docs yet [06:23] hmm maybe even xfce support channel as well, now that I realise where I am lmao [06:23] :-) [07:59] This is probably only silly, but I will offer the clock dockapp display of day-tenths and smaller units. [12:41] xubuntu uses the xfwm4 window manager, right? [12:42] ok I try and kill xfwm4 and it starts up again straight away [12:43] guys when i april do you think 12.04 will flip its daylight view? =D [12:43] beginning / end? [12:47] okay I am at settings -> session and startup, how exactly do I add things here? i see no button. also can't change restart style, though it is displayed [12:49] the only thing I can do is quite program [12:49] lewis1711: quite?... what is "restart style" ? [12:51] holstein: 'restart style' right-most column in Session tab. [12:55] TVasEyes: cool.. what does it mean/do though? [12:56] is a status indicator I think, never had cause to look into chaging the values. [12:57] good question by lewis1711 though, it would be nice to know where to prevent the wm from re-starting automatically. [13:01] oxicarus: release date is april 26: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule [13:01] (if that's what you mean) [13:04] nice pleia2 thnx [13:04] the famous unmute-volume-using-keyboard-quickkey-bug will prolly be solved, right? [13:05] oxicarus: hopefully :) the devs have been actively testing it this past week [13:05] sweet, sounds promising, to say the least :> [13:22] oxicarus, yes, that should be fixed in beta2 [13:22] knome: nice going on the input there, thanks alot :) oh, i can barely wait for all the exciting news, and the lts not to speak of. [13:22] awesome! i really love 'buntu! [13:23] thanks for the praise [15:09] Hey, guys. I'm installing Xubuntu as my first linux OS ever as I heard its very user friendly. [15:11] Seems like everyone here is AFKing, lol. [15:11] xubuntu536: is this your first time here? .. its not really a social channel.. try #xubuntu-offtopic for chat [15:12] Yes it is my first time here. Sorry for the trouble. [15:12] xubuntu536: If you have support questions this would be the right place to ask those [17:40] hi guys! [17:41] can anyone help me? i want my xubuntu to show mounted devices on the desktop. it shows usb-mounts but no devices mounted via fstab (mountpoint is /media/xyz) [17:41] how can i fix this? [17:43] OMG: it wont show them [17:43] you can add shortcuts to them [17:43] OMG: remove entries from fstab. (different mechanisms used) [17:43] hm. nautilus does. no possibility to change that behaviour? [17:43] no [17:43] xfce doesnt use nautilus [17:44] but it also does not show mounted samba shares [17:44] no, it wont [17:44] hm. ok. [17:46] bookmarking and tree-view is also not possible in thunar [17:46] i mean same time [17:46] sure it is [17:46] oh right [17:46] yeah, it's either or [17:46] hehe [17:47] so there is no way to "simulate" the nautilus behaviour at least [17:47] OMG: have a look at ~/.gtk-bookmarks [17:47] OMG: press ctrl-t on thunar to get treeview [17:47] :/ [17:48] TVasEyes: yes. checked that. but id like to have treeview + shown bookmarks. [17:49] oh, missed the 'at hte same time' bit. sorry. [17:50] :) [17:50] ok.. so there is no super-cool-magic-linux-use-the-terminal-type-something-and-it-works-way except usind nautilus? :D [17:51] then.. how can i set nautilus to manage the desktop? [17:52] OMG: using Thunar here, I'm out.. [17:52] OMG: should do that by default. [17:52] gconf-editor or gnome-tweak-tool [17:54] yes it does, but i have to start it manually and it has to be started otherwise the desktop falls back to default [17:54] i found out that i have to start nautilus -n & [17:54] remove xfdesktop from session in session&startup settings [17:54] but where do i set this to be done on startup? [17:55] you can also set autostarts commands there (settings manager -> session and startup) [17:56] you probably should remove old saved sessions with "rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions" [17:57] ah ok [17:57] i think i managed it [17:57] hm.. [17:59] it does not show any symbols hehe [18:01] hiho [18:01] I'd like to switch to xubuntu and was wondering about the ifupdown support [18:01] ok, thanks a lot guys il try to restrat [18:01] are there any known problems when switching from the nm-applet to ifupdown? [18:03] z0ttel, switch from where? [18:03] z0ttel, in that regard, xubuntu should be the same as ubuntu [18:03] okay - then I'll have a look at ubuntu users :) [18:03] merci [18:03] np [18:10] no specific documentation found - I'll just test it in a vm -.- [18:48] Blckberry will no longer mount for mass storage [18:50] CellTech: did you upgrade the blackberry? did you upgrade ubuntu? when did it break? why? are there any messages? do you see it if you open a terminal and run "sudo fdisk -l" ?? [18:50] No updates, no break, no messages, does charge. Let me try that terminal real fast, and lsusb doesn't see it either [18:50] brb [18:52] Not sure what I'm looking for in fdisk -l [18:52] CellTech: you are looking for the mass storage device [18:53] its either there or its not [18:53] i would try another USB port [18:53] i would look at the bb config as well [18:53] hmm. Could it just be a missing driver? [18:53] i doubt it [18:53] I did gtkorphan my system recently [18:53] if you changed nothing [18:54] well, thats what i would look at.. what you changed [18:54] i would boot up a live CD and make sure the hardware is working [18:54] i would think about making another user account and testing from there [18:55] Would libimobile work? [18:55] i would take the BB to another machine [18:55] CellTech: i dont have a BB [18:55] It sucks cause in a couple days I'm gonna have a Nokia Lumia windows phone [18:56] then the live CD will let you transfer assuming its a config issue [18:58] Gotta make one [19:34] sdfsdf [19:34] hello??? [19:41] hello [20:20] has anyone here upgraded to 12.04? [20:34] how can i make the network-manager's popups notifications respect the timeout setting in xfce4-notifyd-settings? [20:35] i've set it to 2 seconds, but the network connectivity popups won't fade away but stay there till i manually close them [20:35] which part of the configuration might i have to delete, to get back to default settings? [20:38] Hello, is there a way to get xrandr to use dual monitors with different resolutions in a non-mirrored setup? [20:39] I'm trying to use a 1680x1050 DVI monitor with a old CRT [20:40] I may be having the same issue with notifications. Good point to set the timeout low while poking at it. [20:42] :/ [20:44] pimperle: The update notifier also causes a non-timeout notification on this system, on default settings. Wait... it DID time out, but after about 30 seconds, while I was busy entering this reply. [20:46] DinoMuffin: should work, arandr is nice GUI for xrandr [20:47] Sysi: well, when I try 'xrandr --output CRT1 --left-of DFP1' it returns: [20:47] xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1680x1680 (desired size 2704x1050) [20:51] well that's problem with your graphics card, what model is it? [20:53] Radeon HD 5870 [20:53] It works fine under windows [20:56] ... 'xrandr: screen cannot be largen than' ... I'm sure I've seen that phrase crop up before. Alas, I know not where. Had a search not turn up anything helpful? [20:57] Well, I'm not sure what exactly is happening. I know the max supported resolution on the card is 2560 x 1600 [20:58] and it's complaining about going to 2704x1050 [20:58] But that still doesn't make much sense to me, seeing how windows can somehow do it. [21:00] I'm afraid I don't know any more, but hopefully there will be someone who will. [21:01] thanks anyways [21:08] I think I might of found the problem. One forum suggests changing the 'Virtual' variable in xorg.conf [21:08] then applying the xrandr configuration [21:09] see what the X log says is the max available [21:09] you might need to change drivers [21:09] I think you should use propriatary driver and then something different config tool [21:10] hm [21:12] Max Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 43 vert.: 27 ? [21:16] Oh, well there are a lot of lines that say '(width too large for virtual size)' for anything over 1680x1050 [21:16] probably is a driver problem then [21:31] !op [21:31] gnomefreak, TheSheep, crimsun, mrpouit, Myrtti, PriceChild charlie-tca, cody-somerville or knome [21:31] whut? [21:32] grrr [21:42] beata1: are you on a fresh install? is this the default setting to show those nofitications for longer than 30 seconds === therealnanotube is now known as nanotube [23:27] alguem do brasil?
