| dddeeexxxttteeer | babble: ill close xubuntu now | 00:14 |

| CellTech | /etc/sysctl.conf permission denied? | 03:07 |
| meerkats | I need to copy a pnm file (picture) into libreoffice, but all libreoffice will do is paste the location of it. That didnt happen with ubuntu... | 03:09 |
| meerkats | what do I do? | 03:09 |
| babble | will Insert > Picture > From File work? | 03:10 |
| meerkats | babble, odd: the directory is full of onm files in the file manager, but none of them appears in the insert picture option... | 03:12 |
| meerkats | pnm* | 03:12 |
| babble | it sounds like LibreOffice doesn't know what to do with that particular file format | 03:12 |
| babble | let me dig for a minute | 03:12 |
| babble | you said you were copying and pasting into a LibreOffice document before in Ubuntu? | 03:13 |
| babble | what were you copying *from*? (the file itself in Nautilus, or the opened image in an application?) | 03:14 |
| meerkats | babble, 1) ctrl+c to copy file from file manager 2) go to libreoffice 3) ctrl+p to paste it and that was it | 03:15 |
| meerkats | apparently xubuntu doesnt recognize pnm | 03:15 |
| babble | there may be an underlying handler in Nautilus that's doing conversion to the clipboard on copy that Thunar doesn't do | 03:16 |
| babble | will the image open in Gimp? | 03:16 |
| meerkats | babble, yes | 03:16 |
| meerkats | but going 1 by 1 to save the whole 30 files as jpg is somewhat tedious... | 03:16 |
| babble | if you absolutely want copy & paste, have you tried copying and pasting out of Gimp into LibreOffice? | 03:16 |
| babble | how is copying and pasting out of Gimp any less tedious than copying and pasting from Nautilus? | 03:17 |
| meerkats | I though I had to save em all from PNM to JPG and the do the copy pasting | 03:18 |
| babble | have you tried simply opening the image, copying to the clipboard and pasting into LibreOffice? | 03:18 |
| babble | Gimp is going to copy its own transition metadata to the clipboard, not really the PNM file format | 03:18 |
| babble | in any case, if you want to convert them, it's possible that imagemagick will work and you can do them all at once from the commandline. | 03:20 |
| babble | let me see if I can find a pnm image online. | 03:20 |
| meerkats | not necessary: I will do the copy-from-gimp thing | 03:21 |
| babble | no, wait | 03:21 |
| babble | pnm is an umbrella term for a collection of image formats. | 03:22 |
| babble | one of THOSE is PPM which LibreOffice explictly supports | 03:22 |
| babble | try renaming one of the files from file.pnm to file.ppm and see if you can just directly import it into LibreOffice as before... Insert > Picture > From File | 03:23 |
| meerkats | i have a more pressing matter: I cannot write french dypthongs: that must be the keyboard settings, right? | 03:23 |
| babble | use a french keyboard layout | 03:23 |
| meerkats | babble, where do I find keyboard settings? | 03:24 |
| babble | Apps Menu (Mouse) > Settings > Settings Manager : Keyboard | 03:24 |
| babble | can you send me one of the pnm images you want to use? | 03:26 |

| === oijoij is now known as m00se | ||
| meerkats | sorry im too wrapped into wiork | 03:43 |
| babble | if they're color images with a .pnm extension, it's likely that they're PPM formatted. | 03:44 |
| babble | 1-bit and greyscale images in that set are .pbm (portable bitmap) or .pgm (portable greymap) | 03:44 |
| babble | in any case, you can change all of the file extensions at once in Thunar (use batch rename) and rename them and see if LibreOffice will import them | 03:45 |
| meerkats | its doable, but now im too tired | 03:48 |

| Guest73662 | hi all... short question: when i install xubuntu 12.04 beta 2 now, will i get all updates automatically till 12.04 final? does it mean it's the same whether i install beta 1 now and get all the updates till final release or wait till 26th april (and only with this version all updates for 12.04 will start)? | 13:01 |
| knome | Guest73662, yes, if you install all updates after installing beta2, it's the same as installing the final version | 13:03 |
| Guest73662 | ok so there's no difference (where can i get xubuntu 14.04 alpha 1) :-)) | 13:03 |
| Guest73662 | why is ubuntu 12.04 beta 1 the current version, and for xubuntu it's beta 2? | 13:04 |
| knome | Guest73662, ubuntu has beta 2 too | 13:05 |
| Guest73662 | ah ok didnt see this | 13:05 |
| Guest73662 | i use ubuntu 11.04 with gnome 2 and am getting trouble with old software (especially vlc makes trouble and there's no ppa, compiling didnt work for me...) i need an alternative... | 13:06 |

| arpad2 | I'm having problem to reach the content of the usb flashdrive, although it is mounted | 20:38 |
| mongy | koleoptero: in 12.04 it does just that. not sure how to do it in 11.10 though | 21:32 |
| meerkats | hi there, I need urgently a way to write accents in spanish... | 21:32 |
| meerkats | xubuntu 11.10 and libreoffice from synaptic | 21:32 |
| meerkats | I cannot write accents even here | 21:32 |
| meerkats | or, a workaround: where is ortography? | 21:33 |
| mongy | meerkats: I think you use the right alt key | 21:33 |
| Unit193 | Menu > Accessories > Char Map. | 21:33 |
| mongy | or that... | 21:33 |
| Unit193 | In terminal it is Ctrl+shift+u | 21:33 |
| meerkats | mongy, no, no accent: i need em to be above cowels | 21:34 |
| koleoptero | mongy: yeah I saw that bug report, just thought to ask in case it's something easy | 21:34 |
| meerkats | vowels* | 21:34 |
| mongy | koleoptero: I just added the pavucontrol icon next to it | 21:34 |
| meerkats | does libreoffice have ortography? | 21:35 |
| koleoptero | mongy: I didn't even do that, it's not like I need pavucontrol that often, I just thought it would be nice to have it working as it should. Glad they fixed it in 12.04. | 21:37 |
| koleoptero | meerkats: yes, it's called spellchecking | 21:38 |
| mongy | koleoptero: a dirty hack would be to link pavucontrol to xfce4-mixer | 21:38 |
| meerkats | koleoptero, I choose spanish, it reverts back to english. Am I missing packages? | 21:39 |
| koleoptero | mongy: I feel bad making such changes to the system lol | 21:39 |
| mongy | koleoptero: just rename xfce4-mixer and soft link pavu, not really that bad imo. | 21:40 |
| mongy | do you ever use xfce4-mixer? | 21:40 |
| koleoptero | meerkats: sudo apt-get install myspell-es | 21:42 |
| koleoptero | mongy: no, I even purged it | 21:42 |
| meerkats | found it koleoptero | 21:54 |
| mongy | talking of pavucontrol and 12.04, using a different theme, like Albatross makes pavucontrol impossible to see :( | 21:57 |
| koleoptero | I've given up on all themes that don't work properly with gtk3 apps, and albatross is unfortunately one of them | 21:58 |
| koleoptero | bluebird on the other hand... :D | 21:59 |
| mongy | koleoptero: yeah but to bundle one that doesn't work :( | 21:59 |
| koleoptero | indeed, along with all the old xfce themes and murrine themes | 22:00 |
| mongy | thankfully the one I use in 11.10 still works. Zukitwo-Brave | 22:02 |
| v1Ns | i have a trouble with pidgin x86_64 12.04 , when contacts go offline they still appear as online | 22:03 |
| mongy | I like dark themes. This 1080 screen is too nice for grey dull themes | 22:03 |
| koleoptero | mongy: http://fav.me/d4tex24 | 22:05 |
| koleoptero | needs an xfwm port :) | 22:05 |
| mongy | not a fan of dark everything, but not a bad theme I guess. | 22:08 |
| koleoptero | I haven't tried it either but it looks good | 22:09 |
| koleoptero | I'm too comfy with the zukitwo-dark one | 22:09 |
| mongy | -brave is little darker and works in 12.04 :) | 22:10 |
| mongy | -dark has glitches | 22:11 |
| mongy | like I mentioned already | 22:11 |
| koleoptero | well I'm in 11.10 so no probs here | 22:13 |
| miarf | anyone run into trouble with their creative x-fi cards on 11.10 btw? | 22:14 |
| mongy | Yeah, just sayin, don't use it in 12.04 :) | 22:14 |
| miarf | i seem to have really bad crackling with some games, like warsow and frogatto | 22:14 |
| mongy | unless it gets fixed. | 22:14 |
