[01:24] hi guys [01:24] one question... [01:26] 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? [03:10] 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?) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:13] Is this a gtk2 vs gtk3 problem? [03:30] This is a theme only available for gtk2 and not gtk3 problem. I hate you, Gnome 3. [04:09] I was wondering if anyone could help... [04:09] I'm running ubuntu 10.10 with xfce [04:10] I'm having problems with timidity... [04:10] I tried to install some packages that use timidity and process' fail [04:11] I just tried to reinstall timidity and received this error message "E: timidity-daemon: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [04:15] any adice or direction I should be going? [04:15] advice [06:53] Greetings [06:54] 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 [06:55] Both the theme and the window manager are set to Albatross, but the window content still shows up in a classic theme [06:59] ThePendulum: all apps or just some? [07:00] Well, I'm not quite sure. Most apps override it by default [07:00] But most configuration windows have the classic theme [07:02] do you have needed gtk-engines installed? AFAIK Albatross is somewhat old and can be broken with new engines [07:03] +it probably never had gtk3 part [07:03] Well, it has previously worked [07:04] How is albatross old btw? It's one of the better, less windows '95, looking themes. [07:05] I'm afraid I have to leave. I'll be back later, hoping to solve it. Otherwise I'll just do a reinstall [07:36] could someone tell me how to change the setting to allow thumbnails of videos ? Thank you [07:37] !info tumblerd [07:37] Package tumblerd does not exist in oneiric [07:37] !info tumbler [07:37] tumbler (source: tumbler): D-Bus thumbnailing service. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.21-3ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 63 kB, installed size 268 kB [07:38] Ah ok thank you very much [09:14] window stick [10:44] Greetings [10:44] 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 [10:49] ThePendulum, did you enable sudo or did you log in with the xfce session? [10:49] knome: I logged in as regularly, so the latter [10:50] logging in with the xfce (not xubuntu) session is known to cause some issues [10:51] It hasn't caused issues in the past few months though [10:51] we don't know what it is though... [10:51] maybe try cleaning cache [10:52] How? [10:52] ~/.cache [10:52] just remove that dir [10:52] note that it will remove all your settings too [10:52] err, no it won't [10:52] :D [10:52] sorry, i've just woken up [10:53] settings are in ~/.config but you could try removing that next [10:53] thanks Sysi [10:54] I could as well just reinstall then, lol [10:54] or rename it [10:54] that's faster, though you need to remove config in tty (Ctrl Alt F6) [10:55] I'd recommend renaming it [11:04] I think I'm just going to do a reinstall, my system needed a clean-up anyway [11:05] What do you guys recommend, 11.10 or 12.04? [11:12] 12.04 is in beta2 testing stage, but it shouldn't bring many problems [11:12] if it's a production machine you need daily, i'd recommend 11.10 though [11:12] you can always upgrade [11:13] I use it daily, but there's enough room in my shedule for OS failure. I guess I'll just give it a go [11:14] When will beta2 be released, if so? [11:14] march 29 [11:15] if you are installing beta2, consider doing a beta2 test for us [11:15] http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/210/builds [11:15] I'll certainly consider it [11:15] thanks, any tests anytime are appreciated [11:16] I've used Linux/(X)ubuntu for quite a while now, but I'm not quite an advanced user though [11:17] 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 [11:19] http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/210/builds/14159/downloads <-- This is the ISO for Xubuntu 12.04 Beta2? [11:29] can anyone helpme with installaiton of xfce.. there is a error msg i got in the end after installation http://paste.ubuntu.com/900279/ [11:31] ansi, that looks more like a problem with initrd creating [11:31] g'day knome (: [11:31] how do i fix that knome [11:31] gry, hullo [11:31] ansi, i've no idea, but i suppose you could try #ubuntu too [11:32] they sent me from ubuntu tohere [11:33] ansi, right... it's not a xubuntu-specific problem as i look it [11:33] ansi, try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' [11:33] buti didthissudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [11:34] ansi, try the command i posted, then retry installing xubuntu-desktop [11:34] huh? [11:35] oops [13:55] 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? [13:58] 6 [14:10] I'm using xubuntu 11.10. I would like to try different themes, do I need GTK 2 or 3 themes? [14:13] both [14:15] TheSheep: heyo [14:17] 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] ochosi: where are you moving it to? [14:22] 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] and chown doesn't affect that it seems [14:26] you can use ID instead of username (at least when you don't have user with that ID) [14:28] 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. [14:34] rsyring: you can modify your theme [14:34] (make a copy of it, of course) [14:34] TheSheep: ok [14:40] 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? [14:41] the one that manages the windows decorations [14:41] the window manager i would bet [14:41] actually it may be either one [14:41] good window manager themes will take colors from the gtk theme [14:42] ok...I'll try the main theme first [14:44] Sysi: changing both USERID and groupid numerically actually made it work === x4 is now known as Guest39014 === EyesIsServer is now known as IAMACorrect === IAMACorrect is now known as EyesIsMine === Guest39014 is now known as x4 [16:18] 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? [16:23] 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 [16:24] Thank you very much. :) [16:25] Hmm [16:25] I just installed Xubuntu 12.04, but I think I'll be switching back for a while [16:34] I noticed a lot of the text in a prompt, including the buttons, is white coloured [16:35] Making it very hard, if not impossible, to read [16:35] And it's just generally unstable, a lot of applications crash or do not function properly [16:37] 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] you're welcome to join #xubuntu-devel if you need help filing them [16:37] pleia2: I tried, but I can't manage to log in for some reason [16:38] But it's quite obvious, I can't imagine no one has filed it, let alone not spotted it [16:39] 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 [16:40] text in the terminal is hard to read, or..? [16:40] (not sure what you mean by "prompt") [16:40] I'm sorry, I mean the notification windows that show up every now and then, for example for authentication [16:40] 1 second, I'll take a screen [16:40] thanks [16:43] pleia2: http://i.imgur.com/bZtjx.png [16:45] I think that's problem with your gtk theme [16:45] what if you change it? [16:46] Oh, indeed [16:46] But the theme comes with Xubuntu 12.04 by default. You may want to remove or update it [16:48] best way to tell is a bugreport, with that image attached [16:50] 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. [17:39] It seems like the AWN dock causes my theme issues [17:39] I reinstalled Xubuntu, and the issue occured right after I installed AWN [17:39] I removed AWN but I don't know how to reset the eyecandy [17:43] ... aptitude --purge remove [17:44] aptitude needs to be installed iirc [17:45] yeah [17:45] apt-get works too [17:46] synaptic maybe can remove dependencies too [17:46] apt-get can do it also [17:46] with autoremove [17:47] I think aptitude works better, but that could've worked for pendulum [19:10] Greetings [19:10] I was wondering if someone could give me a hand on adding my drives to fstab [19:30] ThePendulum: partitions, perhaps. [19:31] TVasEyes: Hmm? [19:31] Well, yeah, partitions in the end [19:32] so, what's the problem, if any. [19:33] TVasEyes: I didn't set specific values for the mount options previously, but I can't remember what I used [19:34] care to paste existing fstab and which partitions (& format) you'd like to add. [19:37] TVasEyes: http://pastie.org/3673658 [19:38] I'd like to properly add # Storage 1/2 to the list [19:40] and you want /dev/sd{b,c)1 available on boot? which filesystems do they use? are they removable media? [19:44] 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 [19:48] ok. so "/dev/sdb1 /mnt/stor1 ntfs defaults,utf8 0 0" (and the same for the other partition) should work. [19:49] So there isn't some kind of wildcard for the file system, in case I format the drive? [19:50] no, it has to know what filesystem is there in order to understand it [19:51] there is no way to guess it [19:51] Hmm, okay then [19:51] 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] you can use auto in fstab [19:51] in the 3rd field? [19:51] but it won't always work [19:51] yes [19:52] all the removable media use it [19:52] ok, my documentation doesn't say so. maybe I'll try this sometime in future. [19:52] Auto, that was it I think [19:52] It has worked for me the last couple of months [19:53] TheSheep: thanks, may look into this. [19:53] ThePendulum: good, go for it then :) [19:54] Thanks for your support, both of you :) [19:54] cool. :) [19:55] Darnit, DOS games surely are addictive [20:32] I was wondering why the Places panel item doesn't show the emblems on folders === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang === james is now known as Guest63448 [21:56] thx for making something that works with my shitty laptop lol [22:00] plusEV, thanks, but watch the language :) [22:19] So eeeh, I think my OS has got a bit of an identity crisis [22:20] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25683105/Pictures/Screenshots/2012032623%3A52%3A00_Development.png === MogDog is now known as Guest74199 === Guest74199 is now known as MogDog === moylan1 is now known as moylan === moylan1 is now known as moylan
