| hello | Hello, I was wondering if there was a media player that offered the same radio selection as XBMC? | 08:42 |
| hello | radio channel selection that is | 08:43 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| hello | So there are no other comparable programs ? | 09:06 |
| hello | Hmm Well thanks for no help. Not surprised. Most supports rooms are like this. And yes I am aware it is free. But why do 90 people sign into a help, and not bother to ... Uhhhhh HELP...LMFAO | 09:24 |
| hobgoblin | probably didn't see it - I certainly didn't | 09:25 |
| hobgoblin | or couldn't help | 09:25 |
| hello | Well no problem sorry for the beef. But like I said most support channels are like this . No one responds. | 09:26 |
| hobgoblin | I've never used xbmc so coudln't help anyway | 09:27 |
| hello | And my other point why do people sign into this channel and then walk away or ignore. I would rather be in a room with 5 people and they are trying to help. then 100 people and no one see' knows or declines to respond. | 09:28 |
| hello | Like I said. Sorry and thank you for the reply. | 09:28 |
| xubuntu127 | hi everybody, i'm downloading xubuntu right now :) | 09:35 |
| MordFustang | so? :D | 09:37 |
| well_laid_lawn | that's a bit cheeky | 09:38 |
| xubuntu257 | asd | 09:43 |
| xskydevilx | How exactly do I move the applets to the very right of the top panel, per say? Cause whenever I do it, it snaps to the next one. | 09:43 |
| xubuntu257 | Have you tried right-clicking and selecting move? | 09:44 |
| xskydevilx | Eh, that's what I'm doing actually. Does anything need a snapshot of what I'm trying to do? | 09:44 |
| hobgoblin | might help | 09:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | I got lost on "snaps to the next one" | 09:45 |
| xubuntu257 | Yeah, it might | 09:45 |
| MordFustang | can anyone help how to activate middle mouse wheel button? | 09:47 |
| hobgoblin | should just work - never had to activate it | 09:47 |
| xubuntu257 | Activate? Which application, or what exactly do you want the middle click to do? | 09:47 |
| xubuntu257 | Like hobgoblin said, it should just work | 09:48 |
| xskydevilx | Okay, does thing help you illustrate what I wanna do? http://i.imgur.com/Oq6ar.png | 09:49 |
| hobgoblin | yes | 09:49 |
| xubuntu257 | @xskydevilx add a new notification area or seperator (right click and select "Panel" then "Add new Items" | 09:50 |
| hobgoblin | xskydevilx: hang on - think I got it | 09:51 |
| hobgoblin | right click on panel - panel preferences | 09:52 |
| xskydevilx | Yeah? | 09:53 |
| hobgoblin | in the items tab then add a seperator to the bottom of the list - move the one you want on the right to below the seperator | 09:53 |
| hobgoblin | then edit the seperator and expand it | 09:53 |
| hobgoblin | try that | 09:53 |
| xskydevilx | Thanks a lot! I totally forgot to expand the thing... | 09:54 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 09:54 |
| xskydevilx | Is anyone familiar with PCLinuxOS Pheonix edition? | 09:54 |
| * hobgoblin thanks whoever I read in here doing the same thing :) | 09:55 | |
| hobgoblin | nope | 09:55 |
| xskydevilx | It has this really cool XFCE theme. | 09:55 |
| xskydevilx | It's sort of a mix of elementary icons and those of mint. | 09:58 |
| xskydevilx | Does anyone seem the font rendering is not that well? Like when I install Arial and got to a website, the font is totally stretched out. | 10:07 |

| drc | ThePendulum: edit the gtrkrc | 14:06 |
| drc | or whatever the gtk3 equvilent is (gtk.css?) | 14:07 |
| ThePendulum | I wish it was CSS :O | 14:09 |
| ThePendulum | But where can I find it? | 14:09 |
| ThePendulum | Is it the themerc file? | 14:09 |
| drc | ThePendulum: Ah...sorry, that was for XFCE, IIRC, the themerc is for GNOME. | 14:11 |
| ThePendulum | Strange, the themerc file is found in the xfwm4 folder of the theme and changes do apply | 14:11 |
| ThePendulum | I figured the theme is build for the Unico theme engine. How do I find out what engine is running now? | 14:14 |

| dariebi | hi all | 14:52 |
| ThePendulum | Does anyone know what file will most likely include the background color for menus? | 15:27 |
| drc | gtk 2 or3? | 15:30 |
| drc | IRRC /usr/share/themes/Greybird/gtk-2.0/gtkrc or /usr/share/themes/Greybird/gtk-3.0/gtk.css as examples. If I'm totally wrong, the file should be in those dirs <somewhere>. | 15:33 |
| ThePendulum | I was exactly at that point :P | 15:35 |
| ThePendulum | How do I find out if I should edit either gtk 2 or 3? | 15:35 |
| drc | If it has both dirs, then I'd edit both...some apps don't do gtk3 yet, last I heard. | 15:36 |
| drc | also...copy the dir (Greybird) to ~/.themes and work with it there...that way you never mess up the original. | 15:37 |
| ThePendulum | I would like to edit the colors of the main menu, the one that's in the panels | 15:37 |
| ThePendulum | (to start with) | 15:37 |
| babble | if you're installing some common gnome apps, they'll be built against gtk3 | 15:37 |
| babble | Synaptic, file-roller and some others that are easily usable in xubuntu will need whatever changes you're making to go in gtk3 for your theme | 15:38 |
| ThePendulum | What about the application menu? | 15:39 |
| babble | that should be gtk2 | 15:39 |
| babble | one way to test is to put a symlink for the gtk-3.0 folder for a totally different theme (one with gtk3 support) in your ~/.config folder and then load your gnome app | 15:41 |
| ThePendulum | It's a tad harder to find the right file in gtk2 though, hehe | 15:41 |
| babble | if it uses the different theme, that's one that will need the gtk3 theming in your custom theme. | 15:41 |
| ThePendulum | I'm editing the elementary theme, btw | 15:41 |

| coldpizza72i | does Xubuntu not come with a windows manager anymore? | 18:18 |
| hylian | coldpizza72i, xfce is your desktop environment, if that's what you meant... | 18:19 |
| baizon | coldpizza72i: im sorry, but i dont understand your question | 18:19 |
| coldpizza72i | i installed xubuntu but i guess it was the windows manager that didn't automatically load when i booted …i just logged in via cli | 18:21 |
| baizon | coldpizza72i: which version? | 18:22 |
| coldpizza72i | 11.10 alternate | 18:22 |
| baizon | maybe its a driver problem with you graphics card | 18:23 |
| coldpizza72i | I'm using vmware fusion | 18:23 |
| baizon | so install the vm guest additions | 18:24 |
| hylian | baizon, actually that makes sense. | 18:24 |
| baizon | thank you hylian | 18:24 |
| coldpizza72i | do you know if thats part of vmware tools | 18:24 |
| baizon | no, sorry never used vmware. Im using Virtualbox | 18:25 |
| hylian | coldpizza72i, whatever graphics card vmware is emulating may be the culprit. 11.10 might not have the driver for it. | 18:25 |
| coldpizza72i | do you think ubuntu would have the same prob | 18:26 |
| baizon | if it is a new version of vmware especially | 18:26 |
| baizon | yes | 18:26 |
| hylian | coldpizza72i, i really do not know. i used to do a lot of virtualbox stuff, but ubuntu always had the drivers for that, because the emulation was for a simple intel graphics chipset. hard not to have drivers for something that simple. | 18:26 |
| coldpizza72i | i have in tell as well | 18:27 |
| coldpizza72i | intell | 18:27 |
| hylian | coldpizza72i, you are emulating an intel? | 18:28 |
| baizon | yes there is a problem with the new intel hardware and linux | 18:28 |
| coldpizza72i | not sure | 18:28 |

| supermario182 | hey everyone, just installing xubuntu for the first time. ive been leaning away from regular ubuntu as of late and wanted to check this out. | 22:04 |
| drounse | holstein, yes thank you! | 22:04 |
| holstein | supermario182: xubuntu = ubuntu with XFCE and other customizations | 22:05 |
| drounse | xubuntu isnt really different than ubuntu other than xfce | 22:06 |
| drounse | supermario182, ^ | 22:06 |
| holstein | if you are trying to get away from unity, xubuntu = win.. getting away from ubuntu would be a different story | 22:08 |
| drounse | holstein, does ubuntu/xubuntu have anything like the arch build system? | 22:08 |
| holstein | drounse: you'd have to elaborate, but everything is open... | 22:10 |
| supermario182 | havent used arch, dont u have to compile everything by hand? u should be able to do that in ubuntu. but it also has a software centre, and u can install packages from command line as well | 22:10 |
| supermario182 | like so "sudo apt-get install <packages> | 22:10 |
| supermario182 | " | 22:10 |
| drounse | well i used to use ubuntu, but i wanted to try something new, i love arch but i want to start programming and its a little too unstable, so im coming back, but one of the best features of arch is the "ABS" which downloads source and with a simple "makepkg" you can build it | 22:11 |
| drounse | supermario182, no thats gentoo, arch just starts with CLI | 22:12 |
| supermario182 | how is arch compared to ubuntu? i tried installing chakra in a virtual box, but i could never get it to boot properly for some reason | 22:14 |
| mongy | I run arch in a vbox earlier, upto date and everything and apps kept closing for no reason. | 22:15 |
| drounse | supermario182, arch is a million times better, dont use chakra just use arch and install KDE, i just wanted something a little more stable because i love to tinker but i break it all the time | 22:15 |
| drounse | you can have arch up and running in under ten minutes | 22:16 |
| drounse | their channel isnt very helpful if you are struggling | 22:16 |
| drounse | mongy, you have to be careful with up to date things in arch | 22:19 |
| mongy | I see that. | 22:19 |
| drounse | mongy if you use abs, you can remove patches and stuff before compiling and installing | 22:20 |
| mongy | chromium, thunar ( I had xfce installed obviously) and libreoffice.. the only things I ran really for more than 30 seconds. | 22:20 |
| mongy | randomly closed when I clicked on stuff. | 22:21 |
| drounse | mongy, thats strange did you follow the beginners guide when installing? | 22:21 |
| mongy | a little. not much of a beginner either. I installed what I needed and run startxfce once I added my user | 22:22 |
| drounse | hmmm, id try again and follow it, even though youre not a beginner, its just sooo different from ubuntu | 22:24 |
| drounse | i wish i could remove thunar from xfce | 22:25 |

| mongy | I've installed and used a few in the last decade, inc arch once before now, while ago. I'll pass for now. I have what I need and it gets it done. | 22:27 |

| Otyg | yes | 23:19 |
| ThePendulum | /dev/sdb /mnt/stor2 ntsf defaults 0 0 | 23:20 |
| ThePendulum | That's what I've got now | 23:20 |
| Otyg | (forgot fs-type :D) | 23:20 |
| Otyg | ThePendulum: /dev/sdb == "the disk", you want the partition... try /dev/sdb1 | 23:20 |
| ThePendulum | Touché. | 23:21 |
| ThePendulum | It's always something like that when I'm looking for major mistakes | 23:21 |
| ThePendulum | brb, reboot | 23:21 |
| ThePendulum | Strange, it still doesn't work | 23:23 |
| Otyg | ThePendulum: errormsg in dmesg and messages/syslog? | 23:24 |
| ThePendulum | Where does one find those? | 23:25 |
| ThePendulum | -_- | 23:25 |
| ThePendulum | Slap me in the face, will you? | 23:25 |
| ThePendulum | There is a terrible amount of data in the dmesg output, where should I be looking? | 23:26 |
| Otyg | ThePendulum: open terminal -> dmesg for the first (dmesg | grep /dev/sdb can be a good choice) | 23:26 |
| ThePendulum | Ah yes, grep | 23:27 |
| ThePendulum | Nothing, apparently | 23:27 |

| Otyg | ...or just mount... | 23:30 |
| ThePendulum | Mounting the disks or just the return of 'sudo mount'? | 23:31 |
| Otyg | mount without arguments just shows mounted fs's | 23:31 |
| Otyg | look for /dev/sdc | 23:31 |
| ThePendulum | I know, they're not part of the list | 23:32 |
| Otyg | hmm... anything in /media ? | 23:33 |
| ThePendulum | Nope | 23:33 |
| ThePendulum | Sidenote: I terminted that mount, so it probably just isn't mounted | 23:33 |
| ThePendulum | It just took incredibly long | 23:33 |
| ThePendulum | Longer than it should take, for sure | 23:33 |
| Otyg | hmm | 23:33 |
| ThePendulum | *that = the | 23:33 |
| Otyg | in fstab; /dev/sdb1 yadda yadda... /var/syslog /dev/sdc1 yadda yadda? | 23:34 |
| ThePendulum | I would have to wait until something happens for it to write an error output at least, which is probably a golly long time | 23:35 |
| Otyg | It take some time to mount ntfs I've noticed | 23:37 |
| ThePendulum | I have done this before, it takes less than a second | 23:38 |
| Otyg | ThePendulum: can you mount it manually? | 23:39 |
| ThePendulum | I can, the drives were accessible before I added them to the fstab | 23:39 |
| Otyg | try to change fstype to ntfs-3g | 23:41 |
| ThePendulum | Let me reboot the poo out of my computer | 23:42 |
| Otyg | (hard to tell, I don't got any ntfs that automounts atm so it's kind of guess work from my side atm :S ) | 23:42 |
| ThePendulum | Apparently 'auto' rather than 'ntsf' does the job | 23:44 |
| ThePendulum | Thanks for thinking along | 23:46 |
| ThePendulum | It really helps when you try to manage your system when you just got back from a party at 1:30 am | 23:46 |
| Otyg | hehe, didn't think about auto :D | 23:47 |
| Otyg | feeling the same here, it's past 1.40 and my brain doesn't really follow what I do atm :) | 23:48 |
| ThePendulum | Where are you from, Otyg? | 23:55 |
| ThePendulum | Somewhere from Scandinavia down to Italy I'd say | 23:56 |
