| alesr_ | hi guys | 01:24 |
|---|---|---|
| alesr_ | one question... | 01:24 |
| alesr_ | if I install Xubuntu 12.04 LTS Beta 1 now will it be updated with full version when final stable comes out in one month? | 01:26 |
| foobArrr | Setting Appearance -> Style in the Xfce settings has no effect on Gnome programs, e.g. gedit. Why? How do I fix this? (I thought both Xfce and Gnome use gtk. Am I wrong?) | 03:10 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| foobArrr | Is this a gtk2 vs gtk3 problem? | 03:13 |
| foobArrr | This is a theme only available for gtk2 and not gtk3 problem. I hate you, Gnome 3. | 03:30 |
| ax562 | I was wondering if anyone could help... | 04:09 |
| ax562 | I'm running ubuntu 10.10 with xfce | 04:09 |
| ax562 | I'm having problems with timidity... | 04:10 |
| ax562 | I tried to install some packages that use timidity and process' fail | 04:10 |
| ax562 | I just tried to reinstall timidity and received this error message "E: timidity-daemon: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 04:11 |
| ax562 | any adice or direction I should be going? | 04:15 |
| ax562 | advice | 04:15 |
| ThePendulum | Greetings | 06:53 |
| ThePendulum | I've got a bit of a problem. Xubuntu (11.10) seems to have switched themes for some reason, and I can't change it back | 06:54 |
| ThePendulum | Both the theme and the window manager are set to Albatross, but the window content still shows up in a classic theme | 06:55 |
| Sysi | ThePendulum: all apps or just some? | 06:59 |
| ThePendulum | Well, I'm not quite sure. Most apps override it by default | 07:00 |
| ThePendulum | But most configuration windows have the classic theme | 07:00 |
| Sysi | do you have needed gtk-engines installed? AFAIK Albatross is somewhat old and can be broken with new engines | 07:02 |
| Sysi | +it probably never had gtk3 part | 07:03 |
| ThePendulum | Well, it has previously worked | 07:03 |
| ThePendulum | How is albatross old btw? It's one of the better, less windows '95, looking themes. | 07:04 |
| ThePendulum | I'm afraid I have to leave. I'll be back later, hoping to solve it. Otherwise I'll just do a reinstall | 07:05 |
| hello | could someone tell me how to change the setting to allow thumbnails of videos ? Thank you | 07:36 |

| hello | Ah ok thank you very much | 07:38 |
| cYmen | window stick | 09:14 |
| ThePendulum | Greetings | 10:44 |
| ThePendulum | I've been here a few hours ago as well. Some of my configuration panels, as well as the right-click menu, seem to have switched to some kind of classic theme all the sudden | 10:44 |
| knome | ThePendulum, did you enable sudo or did you log in with the xfce session? | 10:49 |
| ThePendulum | knome: I logged in as regularly, so the latter | 10:49 |
| knome | logging in with the xfce (not xubuntu) session is known to cause some issues | 10:50 |
| ThePendulum | It hasn't caused issues in the past few months though | 10:51 |
| knome | we don't know what it is though... | 10:51 |
| knome | maybe try cleaning cache | 10:51 |
| ThePendulum | How? | 10:52 |
| knome | ~/.cache | 10:52 |
| knome | just remove that dir | 10:52 |
| knome | note that it will remove all your settings too | 10:52 |
| knome | err, no it won't | 10:52 |
| knome | :D | 10:52 |
| knome | sorry, i've just woken up | 10:52 |
| Sysi | settings are in ~/.config but you could try removing that next | 10:53 |
| knome | thanks Sysi | 10:53 |
| ThePendulum | I could as well just reinstall then, lol | 10:54 |
| Myrtti | or rename it | 10:54 |
| Sysi | that's faster, though you need to remove config in tty (Ctrl Alt F6) | 10:54 |
| Myrtti | I'd recommend renaming it | 10:55 |
| ThePendulum | I think I'm just going to do a reinstall, my system needed a clean-up anyway | 11:04 |
| ThePendulum | What do you guys recommend, 11.10 or 12.04? | 11:05 |
| knome | 12.04 is in beta2 testing stage, but it shouldn't bring many problems | 11:12 |
| knome | if it's a production machine you need daily, i'd recommend 11.10 though | 11:12 |
| knome | you can always upgrade | 11:12 |
| ThePendulum | I use it daily, but there's enough room in my shedule for OS failure. I guess I'll just give it a go | 11:13 |
| ThePendulum | When will beta2 be released, if so? | 11:14 |
| knome | march 29 | 11:14 |
| knome | if you are installing beta2, consider doing a beta2 test for us | 11:15 |
| knome | http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/210/builds | 11:15 |
| ThePendulum | I'll certainly consider it | 11:15 |
| knome | thanks, any tests anytime are appreciated | 11:15 |
| ThePendulum | I've used Linux/(X)ubuntu for quite a while now, but I'm not quite an advanced user though | 11:16 |
| knome | well, testing doesn't need advanced skills - they are clearly specified, and it basically means you will file bugs (or link to bugs) you saw during installation | 11:17 |
| ThePendulum | http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/210/builds/14159/downloads <-- This is the ISO for Xubuntu 12.04 Beta2? | 11:19 |
| ansi | can anyone helpme with installaiton of xfce.. there is a error msg i got in the end after installation http://paste.ubuntu.com/900279/ | 11:29 |
| knome | ansi, that looks more like a problem with initrd creating | 11:31 |
| gry | g'day knome (: | 11:31 |
| ansi | how do i fix that knome | 11:31 |
| knome | gry, hullo | 11:31 |
| knome | ansi, i've no idea, but i suppose you could try #ubuntu too | 11:31 |
| ansi | they sent me from ubuntu tohere | 11:32 |
| knome | ansi, right... it's not a xubuntu-specific problem as i look it | 11:33 |
| knome | ansi, try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' | 11:33 |
| ansi | buti didthissudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 11:33 |
| knome | ansi, try the command i posted, then retry installing xubuntu-desktop | 11:34 |
| knome | huh? | 11:34 |
| gry | oops | 11:35 |
| adminos | hi to all. i experience lots of problems with my videocard nvidia 8800. i have lots of graphical glitches and green dots everywhere. in windows i used RivaTuner to disable some blocks of my videocard and that helped me. how can i do that in xubuntu? | 13:55 |
| daddyjunior | 6 | 13:58 |
| rsyring | I'm using xubuntu 11.10. I would like to try different themes, do I need GTK 2 or 3 themes? | 14:10 |
| TheSheep | both | 14:13 |
| ochosi | TheSheep: heyo | 14:15 |
| ochosi | do you have any clue why i wouldn't be able to move ~/.config/xfce4 in my own home folder if i'm logged in via tty? (says permission denied even though i did sudo chown -R $username * in /home/$username) | 14:17 |
| TheSheep | ochosi: where are you moving it to? | 14:17 |
| ochosi | TheSheep: that was just a test. actually i meanwhile found out that on my oneiric-system my userID was 1002, now it's 1000, so there's the main problem it seems | 14:22 |
| ochosi | and chown doesn't affect that it seems | 14:22 |
| Sysi | you can use ID instead of username (at least when you don't have user with that ID) | 14:26 |
| rsyring | TheSheep: thanks. Is there a way to change the color of the window title bar for inactive windows without switching to a different theme? The windows currently don't look different enough and a different color title bar would do wonders. | 14:28 |
| TheSheep | rsyring: you can modify your theme | 14:34 |
| TheSheep | (make a copy of it, of course) | 14:34 |
| rsyring | TheSheep: ok | 14:34 |
| rsyring | ok, so if I am using one theme for Appearance and a second for Window Manager, which theme would I edit to change the inactive title bar color? | 14:40 |
| GridCube | the one that manages the windows decorations | 14:41 |
| GridCube | the window manager i would bet | 14:41 |
| TheSheep | actually it may be either one | 14:41 |
| TheSheep | good window manager themes will take colors from the gtk theme | 14:41 |
| rsyring | ok...I'll try the main theme first | 14:42 |
| ochosi | Sysi: changing both USERID and groupid numerically actually made it work | 14:44 |

| xubuntu627 | Hello :) I'm very new at Linux so I apoligize if this is a really obvious question or if this is the wrong place, but how can I replace the bottom launcher with docky? | 16:18 |
| rohm1 | Hi xubuntu627 :) Right clic the bottom launcher, Dashboard=>preferences and clic the minus button to remove it; install docky, launch it and add it the to autostart list; instructions may differ slightly for you as I use xubuntu in french and awn isntead of docky | 16:23 |
| xubuntu627 | Thank you very much. :) | 16:24 |
| ThePendulum | Hmm | 16:25 |
| ThePendulum | I just installed Xubuntu 12.04, but I think I'll be switching back for a while | 16:25 |
| ThePendulum | I noticed a lot of the text in a prompt, including the buttons, is white coloured | 16:34 |
| ThePendulum | Making it very hard, if not impossible, to read | 16:35 |
| ThePendulum | And it's just generally unstable, a lot of applications crash or do not function properly | 16:35 |
| pleia2 | ThePendulum: can you file bugs on these things? the beta2 comes out this week so it would be nice to get them fixed up soon | 16:37 |
| pleia2 | you're welcome to join #xubuntu-devel if you need help filing them | 16:37 |
| ThePendulum | pleia2: I tried, but I can't manage to log in for some reason | 16:37 |
| ThePendulum | But it's quite obvious, I can't imagine no one has filed it, let alone not spotted it | 16:38 |
| pleia2 | I haven't pulled down a daily build in a few days, but the last time I did I don't think I saw the white problems you're seeing | 16:39 |
| pleia2 | text in the terminal is hard to read, or..? | 16:40 |
| pleia2 | (not sure what you mean by "prompt") | 16:40 |
| ThePendulum | I'm sorry, I mean the notification windows that show up every now and then, for example for authentication | 16:40 |
| ThePendulum | 1 second, I'll take a screen | 16:40 |
| pleia2 | thanks | 16:40 |
| ThePendulum | pleia2: http://i.imgur.com/bZtjx.png | 16:43 |
| Sysi | I think that's problem with your gtk theme | 16:45 |
| Sysi | what if you change it? | 16:45 |
| ThePendulum | Oh, indeed | 16:46 |
| ThePendulum | But the theme comes with Xubuntu 12.04 by default. You may want to remove or update it | 16:46 |
| Sysi | best way to tell is a bugreport, with that image attached | 16:48 |
| ThePendulum | I'm afraid I have to make some progress with some projects of mine, and I need a solid OS for that. I'm going back to 11.10 for now. I will see if I can get 12.04 on an old machine to slap it some more. | 16:50 |
| ThePendulum | It seems like the AWN dock causes my theme issues | 17:39 |
| ThePendulum | I reinstalled Xubuntu, and the issue occured right after I installed AWN | 17:39 |
| ThePendulum | I removed AWN but I don't know how to reset the eyecandy | 17:39 |
| Sysi | ... aptitude --purge remove | 17:43 |
| bazhang | aptitude needs to be installed iirc | 17:44 |
| Sysi | yeah | 17:45 |
| TheSheep | apt-get works too | 17:45 |
| Sysi | synaptic maybe can remove dependencies too | 17:46 |
| TheSheep | apt-get can do it also | 17:46 |
| TheSheep | with autoremove | 17:46 |
| Sysi | I think aptitude works better, but that could've worked for pendulum | 17:47 |
| ThePendulum | Greetings | 19:10 |
| ThePendulum | I was wondering if someone could give me a hand on adding my drives to fstab | 19:10 |
| TVasEyes | ThePendulum: partitions, perhaps. | 19:30 |
| ThePendulum | TVasEyes: Hmm? | 19:31 |
| ThePendulum | Well, yeah, partitions in the end | 19:31 |
| TVasEyes | so, what's the problem, if any. | 19:32 |
| ThePendulum | TVasEyes: I didn't set specific values for the mount options previously, but I can't remember what I used | 19:33 |
| TVasEyes | care to paste existing fstab and which partitions (& format) you'd like to add. | 19:34 |
| ThePendulum | TVasEyes: http://pastie.org/3673658 | 19:37 |
| ThePendulum | I'd like to properly add # Storage 1/2 to the list | 19:38 |
| TVasEyes | and you want /dev/sd{b,c)1 available on boot? which filesystems do they use? are they removable media? | 19:40 |
| ThePendulum | They are hard drives in my PC, they are not per definition removable. They're both ntsf, however, I remember setting a more general value for it | 19:44 |
| TVasEyes | ok. so "/dev/sdb1 /mnt/stor1 ntfs defaults,utf8 0 0" (and the same for the other partition) should work. | 19:48 |
| ThePendulum | So there isn't some kind of wildcard for the file system, in case I format the drive? | 19:49 |
| TheSheep | no, it has to know what filesystem is there in order to understand it | 19:50 |
| TheSheep | there is no way to guess it | 19:51 |
| ThePendulum | Hmm, okay then | 19:51 |
| TVasEyes | recommend you have a read of man mount. when you mount a partition manually you can use the -t auto switch, I don't think that's available in fstab. | 19:51 |
| TheSheep | you can use auto in fstab | 19:51 |
| TVasEyes | in the 3rd field? | 19:51 |
| TheSheep | but it won't always work | 19:51 |
| TheSheep | yes | 19:51 |
| TheSheep | all the removable media use it | 19:52 |
| TVasEyes | ok, my documentation doesn't say so. maybe I'll try this sometime in future. | 19:52 |
| ThePendulum | Auto, that was it I think | 19:52 |
| ThePendulum | It has worked for me the last couple of months | 19:52 |
| TVasEyes | TheSheep: thanks, may look into this. | 19:53 |
| TVasEyes | ThePendulum: good, go for it then :) | 19:53 |
| ThePendulum | Thanks for your support, both of you :) | 19:54 |
| TVasEyes | cool. :) | 19:54 |
| ThePendulum | Darnit, DOS games surely are addictive | 19:55 |
| ThePendulum | I was wondering why the Places panel item doesn't show the emblems on folders | 20:32 |
