[02:21] <tak> Hello
[02:21] <tak> I am having an issue setting my second display to allow 1366x768 in xubuntu. I can only set it to 1024x768.
[02:22] <tak> The default display allows 1280x800
[02:22] <tak> The second display can go below 1024x768 but not higher.
[02:23] <tak> Can anyone help?
[02:24] <tak> I have been looking online and it suggest to edit the xorg.conf  file, but I also read it isn't supported anymore.
[02:25] <bazhang> it will be followed if you write one, though
[02:26] <tak> I don't have a clue where t begin in setting the resolution to 1366x768.
[02:26] <tak> t=to
[02:27] <tak> Any suggestions on what to write to the file?
[02:27] <tak> Also, where to save it?
[02:28] <tak> In the terminal, when I type "xrandr -q"
[02:28] <tak> I get
[02:28] <tak> LVDS1 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm

[02:34] <xubuntu349> hi everyone! do you know what must I type for mi installation to get completed?
[02:36] <xubuntu349> It says: Installing system" but it looks like I cant connect to the server... what can I do?
[04:31] <k_sze> In the GUI Task Manager, what's the difference between "Kill' and "Terminate"?
[05:31] <cazador> hi
[05:38] <bmk1189> Good morning/afternoon. Does anybody know how can I let an applet change CPU frecuency?
[05:50] <wickedwiccan_> question if i install xubuntu 12.04 will i need to reinstall when 12.04 releases?
[05:56] <holstein> wickedwiccan_: you shouldnt... assuming you join #ubuntu+1 and keep up with when its ok to update
[08:11] <Machux> ciao a tutti, qualche italiano??
[08:42] <hello> Hello, I was wondering if there was a media player that offered the same radio selection as XBMC?
[08:43] <hello> radio channel selection that is
[09:06] <hello> So there are no other comparable programs ?
[09:24] <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
[09:25] <hobgoblin> probably didn't see it - I certainly didn't
[09:25] <hobgoblin> or couldn't help
[09:26] <hello> Well no problem sorry for the beef. But like I said most support channels are like this . No one responds.
[09:27] <hobgoblin> I've never used xbmc so coudln't help anyway
[09:28] <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.
[09:35] <xubuntu127> hi everybody, i'm downloading xubuntu right now :)
[09:37] <MordFustang> so? :D
[09:38] <well_laid_lawn> that's a bit cheeky
[09:43] <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.
[09:44] <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?
[09:45] <hobgoblin> might help
[09:45] <well_laid_lawn> I got lost on "snaps to the next one"
[09:45] <xubuntu257> Yeah, it might
[09:47] <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?
[09:48] <xubuntu257> Like hobgoblin said, it should just work
[09:49] <xskydevilx> Okay, does thing help you illustrate what I wanna do? http://i.imgur.com/Oq6ar.png
[09:49] <hobgoblin> yes
[09:50] <xubuntu257> @xskydevilx add a new notification area or seperator (right click and select "Panel" then "Add new Items"
[09:51] <hobgoblin> xskydevilx: hang on - think I got it
[09:52] <hobgoblin> right click on panel - panel preferences
[09:53] <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
[09:54] <xskydevilx> Thanks a lot! I totally forgot to expand the thing...
[09:54] <hobgoblin> :)
[09:54] <xskydevilx> Is anyone familiar with PCLinuxOS Pheonix edition?
[09:55]  * 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.
[09:58] <xskydevilx> It's sort of a mix of elementary icons and those of mint.
[10:07] <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.
[12:17] <xujoj> ji
[12:17] <xujoj> hi
[12:18] <xujoj> any one capable to help with acpi fan control ?
[12:23] <baizon> he waited 4 min :(
[12:32] <mongy> :(
[13:29] <martinphone> what does Daemon is inhibited mean? I cannot mount an usb stick
[13:34] <Wulong> It means that a underlaying program is not running. Probably thuunar-volman in your case.
[13:44] <ThePendulum> Greetings
[13:47] <martinphone> yes, its thunar related Wulong , what can I do?
[13:53] <ThePendulum> I was wondering, is it possible to edit the menu background colour? And if so, where/how?
[14:06] <drc> ThePendulum: edit the gtrkrc
[14:07] <drc> or whatever the gtk3 equvilent is (gtk.css?)
[14:09] <ThePendulum> I wish it was CSS :O
[14:09] <ThePendulum> But where can I find it?
[14:09] <ThePendulum> Is it the themerc file?
[14:11] <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
[14:14] <ThePendulum> I figured the theme is build for the Unico theme engine. How do I find out what engine is running now?
[14:21] <martinphone> Failed to eject "8.0 GB Filesystem" One or more partitions are busy on /dev/sdb. that happens whe I try to unmount a usb stick
[14:21] <martinphone> and then there is this unexplained "writting data to device", but I havent copied or pasted anything
[14:52] <dariebi> hi all
[15:27] <ThePendulum> Does anyone know what file will most likely include the background color for menus?
[15:30] <drc> gtk 2 or3?
[15:33] <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>.
[15:35] <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?
[15:36] <drc> If it has both dirs, then I'd edit both...some apps don't do gtk3 yet, last I heard.
[15:37] <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
[15:38] <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
[15:39] <ThePendulum> What about the application menu?
[15:39] <babble> that should be gtk2
[15:41] <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
[18:18] <coldpizza72i> does Xubuntu not come with a windows manager anymore?
[18:19] <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
[18:21] <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
[18:22] <baizon> coldpizza72i: which version?
[18:22] <coldpizza72i> 11.10 alternate
[18:23] <baizon> maybe its a driver problem with you graphics card
[18:23] <coldpizza72i> I'm using vmware fusion
[18:24] <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
[18:25] <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.
[18:26] <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.
[18:27] <coldpizza72i> i have in tell as well
[18:27] <coldpizza72i> intell
[18:28] <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] <baizon> try xubuntu 12.04 beta2
[19:13] <rarog> Привет всем! а по русски тут можно общаться? или подскажите русскоязычный канал
[19:13] <baizon> englisch plz

[22:02] <drounse> where can i fins xubuntu 12.04
[22:02] <drounse> find*
[22:04] <holstein> drounse: this? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/current/
[22:04] <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!
[22:05] <holstein> supermario182: xubuntu = ubuntu with XFCE and other customizations
[22:06] <drounse> xubuntu isnt really different than ubuntu other than xfce
[22:06] <drounse> supermario182, ^
[22:08] <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?
[22:10] <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> "
[22:11] <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
[22:12] <drounse> supermario182, no thats gentoo, arch just starts with CLI
[22:14] <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
[22:15] <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
[22:16] <drounse> you can have arch up and running in under ten minutes
[22:16] <drounse> their channel isnt very helpful if you are struggling
[22:19] <drounse> mongy, you have to be careful with up to date things in arch
[22:19] <mongy> I see that.
[22:20] <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.
[22:21] <mongy> randomly closed when I clicked on stuff.
[22:21] <drounse> mongy, thats strange did you follow the beginners guide when installing?
[22:22] <mongy> a little.  not much of a beginner either.  I installed what I needed and run startxfce once I added my user
[22:24] <drounse> hmmm, id try again and follow it, even though youre not a beginner, its just sooo different from ubuntu
[22:25] <drounse> i wish i could remove thunar from xfce
[22:27] <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.
[22:28] <mongy> I think this is OT so I'll stop
[22:30] <mongy> time to reboot into the usb encrypted install I just did that took forever, eek.
[23:07] <ThePendulum> Greetings
[23:08] <ThePendulum> I'm once again trying to add my harddrives to fstab to get them mounted during start-up, but I again forgot how to do this properly
[23:19] <Otyg> ThePendulum: format of fstab; disk (/dev/ or UUID) mountpoint (directory) options (default use to be good) dump (0 most of the time) pass (>1 most of the time)
[23:19] <ThePendulum> I realize that, it can be found on the man page
[23:19] <Otyg> yes
[23:20] <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
[23:21] <ThePendulum> Touché.
[23:21] <ThePendulum> It's always something like that when I'm looking for major mistakes
[23:21] <ThePendulum> brb, reboot
[23:23] <ThePendulum> Strange, it still doesn't work
[23:24] <Otyg> ThePendulum: errormsg in dmesg and messages/syslog?
[23:25] <ThePendulum> Where does one find those?
[23:25] <ThePendulum> -_-
[23:25] <ThePendulum> Slap me in the face, will you?
[23:26] <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)
[23:27] <ThePendulum> Ah yes, grep
[23:27] <ThePendulum> Nothing, apparently
[23:27] <Otyg> grep /dev/sdb /var/log/syslog
[23:28] <ThePendulum> There we go
[23:29] <ThePendulum> Apr  8 00:56:08 niels-main ntfs-3g[2586]: Mounted /dev/sdc1 (Read-Write, label "", NTFS 3.1)
[23:29] <ThePendulum> I see nothing wrong here
[23:30] <Otyg> ThePendulum: sudo mount, what does that say?
[23:30] <Otyg> ...or just mount...
[23:31] <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
[23:32] <ThePendulum> I know, they're not part of the list
[23:33] <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
[23:34] <Otyg> in fstab; /dev/sdb1 yadda yadda... /var/syslog /dev/sdc1 yadda yadda?
[23:35] <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
[23:37] <Otyg> It take some time to mount ntfs I've noticed
[23:38] <ThePendulum> I have done this before, it takes less than a second
[23:39] <Otyg> ThePendulum: can you mount it manually?
[23:39] <ThePendulum> I can, the drives were accessible before I added them to the fstab
[23:41] <Otyg> try to change fstype to ntfs-3g
[23:42] <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 )
[23:44] <ThePendulum> Apparently 'auto' rather than 'ntsf' does the job
[23:46] <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
[23:47] <Otyg> hehe, didn't think about auto :D
[23:48] <Otyg> feeling the same here, it's past 1.40 and my brain doesn't really follow what I do atm :)
[23:55] <ThePendulum> Where are you from, Otyg?
[23:56] <ThePendulum> Somewhere from Scandinavia down to Italy I'd say
