=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:21] Hello [02:21] I am having an issue setting my second display to allow 1366x768 in xubuntu. I can only set it to 1024x768. [02:22] The default display allows 1280x800 [02:22] The second display can go below 1024x768 but not higher. [02:23] Can anyone help? === vins is now known as v1Ns [02:24] 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] it will be followed if you write one, though [02:26] I don't have a clue where t begin in setting the resolution to 1366x768. [02:26] t=to [02:27] Any suggestions on what to write to the file? [02:27] Also, where to save it? [02:28] In the terminal, when I type "xrandr -q" [02:28] I get [02:28] LVDS1 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm [02:28] 1280x800 59.9*+ [02:28] 1024x768 60.0 [02:28] 800x600 60.3 56.2 [02:28] 640x480 59.9 [02:28] VGA1 connected 1024x768+1280+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm [02:28] 1024x768 60.0* [02:28] 800x600 60.3 56.2 [02:28] 848x480 60.0 [02:28] 640x480 59.9 [02:34] hi everyone! do you know what must I type for mi installation to get completed? [02:36] It says: Installing system" but it looks like I cant connect to the server... what can I do? [04:31] In the GUI Task Manager, what's the difference between "Kill' and "Terminate"? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:31] hi [05:38] Good morning/afternoon. Does anybody know how can I let an applet change CPU frecuency? [05:50] question if i install xubuntu 12.04 will i need to reinstall when 12.04 releases? [05:56] wickedwiccan_: you shouldnt... assuming you join #ubuntu+1 and keep up with when its ok to update === benonsoftware is now known as Guest92794 [08:11] ciao a tutti, qualche italiano?? [08:42] Hello, I was wondering if there was a media player that offered the same radio selection as XBMC? [08:43] radio channel selection that is === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [09:06] So there are no other comparable programs ? [09:24] 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] probably didn't see it - I certainly didn't [09:25] or couldn't help [09:26] Well no problem sorry for the beef. But like I said most support channels are like this . No one responds. [09:27] I've never used xbmc so coudln't help anyway [09:28] 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] Like I said. Sorry and thank you for the reply. [09:35] hi everybody, i'm downloading xubuntu right now :) [09:37] so? :D [09:38] that's a bit cheeky [09:43] asd [09:43] 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] Have you tried right-clicking and selecting move? [09:44] Eh, that's what I'm doing actually. Does anything need a snapshot of what I'm trying to do? [09:45] might help [09:45] I got lost on "snaps to the next one" [09:45] Yeah, it might [09:47] can anyone help how to activate middle mouse wheel button? [09:47] should just work - never had to activate it [09:47] Activate? Which application, or what exactly do you want the middle click to do? [09:48] Like hobgoblin said, it should just work [09:49] Okay, does thing help you illustrate what I wanna do? http://i.imgur.com/Oq6ar.png [09:49] yes [09:50] @xskydevilx add a new notification area or seperator (right click and select "Panel" then "Add new Items" [09:51] xskydevilx: hang on - think I got it [09:52] right click on panel - panel preferences [09:53] Yeah? [09:53] 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] then edit the seperator and expand it [09:53] try that [09:54] Thanks a lot! I totally forgot to expand the thing... [09:54] :) [09:54] Is anyone familiar with PCLinuxOS Pheonix edition? [09:55] * hobgoblin thanks whoever I read in here doing the same thing :) [09:55] nope [09:55] It has this really cool XFCE theme. [09:58] It's sort of a mix of elementary icons and those of mint. [10:07] 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] ji [12:17] hi [12:18] any one capable to help with acpi fan control ? [12:23] he waited 4 min :( [12:32] :( [13:29] what does Daemon is inhibited mean? I cannot mount an usb stick [13:34] It means that a underlaying program is not running. Probably thuunar-volman in your case. [13:44] Greetings [13:47] yes, its thunar related Wulong , what can I do? [13:53] I was wondering, is it possible to edit the menu background colour? And if so, where/how? === hobgoblin is now known as forestpiskie [14:06] ThePendulum: edit the gtrkrc [14:07] or whatever the gtk3 equvilent is (gtk.css?) [14:09] I wish it was CSS :O [14:09] But where can I find it? [14:09] Is it the themerc file? [14:11] ThePendulum: Ah...sorry, that was for XFCE, IIRC, the themerc is for GNOME. [14:11] Strange, the themerc file is found in the xfwm4 folder of the theme and changes do apply [14:14] I figured the theme is build for the Unico theme engine. How do I find out what engine is running now? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [14:21] 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] and then there is this unexplained "writting data to device", but I havent copied or pasted anything [14:52] hi all [15:27] Does anyone know what file will most likely include the background color for menus? [15:30] gtk 2 or3? [15:33] 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 . [15:35] I was exactly at that point :P [15:35] How do I find out if I should edit either gtk 2 or 3? [15:36] If it has both dirs, then I'd edit both...some apps don't do gtk3 yet, last I heard. [15:37] also...copy the dir (Greybird) to ~/.themes and work with it there...that way you never mess up the original. [15:37] I would like to edit the colors of the main menu, the one that's in the panels [15:37] (to start with) [15:37] if you're installing some common gnome apps, they'll be built against gtk3 [15:38] 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] What about the application menu? [15:39] that should be gtk2 [15:41] 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] It's a tad harder to find the right file in gtk2 though, hehe [15:41] if it uses the different theme, that's one that will need the gtk3 theming in your custom theme. [15:41] I'm editing the elementary theme, btw === chogath-_- is now known as chogath === chogath is now known as chogath-_- [18:18] does Xubuntu not come with a windows manager anymore? [18:19] coldpizza72i, xfce is your desktop environment, if that's what you meant... [18:19] coldpizza72i: im sorry, but i dont understand your question [18:21] 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] coldpizza72i: which version? [18:22] 11.10 alternate [18:23] maybe its a driver problem with you graphics card [18:23] I'm using vmware fusion [18:24] so install the vm guest additions [18:24] baizon, actually that makes sense. [18:24] thank you hylian [18:24] do you know if thats part of vmware tools [18:25] no, sorry never used vmware. Im using Virtualbox [18:25] coldpizza72i, whatever graphics card vmware is emulating may be the culprit. 11.10 might not have the driver for it. [18:26] do you think ubuntu would have the same prob [18:26] if it is a new version of vmware especially [18:26] yes [18:26] 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] i have in tell as well [18:27] intell [18:28] coldpizza72i, you are emulating an intel? [18:28] yes there is a problem with the new intel hardware and linux [18:28] not sure [18:28] try xubuntu 12.04 beta2 === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:13] Привет всем! а по русски тут можно общаться? или подскажите русскоязычный канал [19:13] englisch plz [19:14] !ru [19:14] Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke.

[22:04] holstein, yes thank you! [22:05] supermario182: xubuntu = ubuntu with XFCE and other customizations [22:06] xubuntu isnt really different than ubuntu other than xfce [22:06] supermario182, ^ [22:08] if you are trying to get away from unity, xubuntu = win.. getting away from ubuntu would be a different story [22:08] holstein, does ubuntu/xubuntu have anything like the arch build system? [22:10] drounse: you'd have to elaborate, but everything is open... [22:10] 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] like so "sudo apt-get install [22:10] " [22:11] 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] supermario182, no thats gentoo, arch just starts with CLI [22:14] 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] I run arch in a vbox earlier, upto date and everything and apps kept closing for no reason. [22:15] 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] you can have arch up and running in under ten minutes [22:16] their channel isnt very helpful if you are struggling [22:19] mongy, you have to be careful with up to date things in arch [22:19] I see that. [22:20] mongy if you use abs, you can remove patches and stuff before compiling and installing [22:20] chromium, thunar ( I had xfce installed obviously) and libreoffice.. the only things I ran really for more than 30 seconds. [22:21] randomly closed when I clicked on stuff. [22:21] mongy, thats strange did you follow the beginners guide when installing? [22:22] a little. not much of a beginner either. I installed what I needed and run startxfce once I added my user [22:24] hmmm, id try again and follow it, even though youre not a beginner, its just sooo different from ubuntu [22:25] i wish i could remove thunar from xfce === Guest92794 is now known as benonsoftware [22:27] 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] I think this is OT so I'll stop [22:30] time to reboot into the usb encrypted install I just did that took forever, eek. [23:07] Greetings [23:08] 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] 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] I realize that, it can be found on the man page [23:19] yes [23:20] /dev/sdb /mnt/stor2 ntsf defaults 0 0 [23:20] That's what I've got now [23:20] (forgot fs-type :D) [23:20] ThePendulum: /dev/sdb == "the disk", you want the partition... try /dev/sdb1 [23:21] Touché. [23:21] It's always something like that when I'm looking for major mistakes [23:21] brb, reboot [23:23] Strange, it still doesn't work [23:24] ThePendulum: errormsg in dmesg and messages/syslog? [23:25] Where does one find those? [23:25] -_- [23:25] Slap me in the face, will you? [23:26] There is a terrible amount of data in the dmesg output, where should I be looking? [23:26] ThePendulum: open terminal -> dmesg for the first (dmesg | grep /dev/sdb can be a good choice) [23:27] Ah yes, grep [23:27] Nothing, apparently [23:27] grep /dev/sdb /var/log/syslog [23:28] There we go [23:29] Apr 8 00:56:08 niels-main ntfs-3g[2586]: Mounted /dev/sdc1 (Read-Write, label "", NTFS 3.1) [23:29] I see nothing wrong here [23:30] ThePendulum: sudo mount, what does that say? [23:30] ...or just mount... [23:31] Mounting the disks or just the return of 'sudo mount'? [23:31] mount without arguments just shows mounted fs's [23:31] look for /dev/sdc [23:32] I know, they're not part of the list [23:33] hmm... anything in /media ? [23:33] Nope [23:33] Sidenote: I terminted that mount, so it probably just isn't mounted [23:33] It just took incredibly long [23:33] Longer than it should take, for sure [23:33] hmm [23:33] *that = the [23:34] in fstab; /dev/sdb1 yadda yadda... /var/syslog /dev/sdc1 yadda yadda? [23:35] 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] It take some time to mount ntfs I've noticed [23:38] I have done this before, it takes less than a second [23:39] ThePendulum: can you mount it manually? [23:39] I can, the drives were accessible before I added them to the fstab [23:41] try to change fstype to ntfs-3g [23:42] Let me reboot the poo out of my computer [23:42] (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] Apparently 'auto' rather than 'ntsf' does the job [23:46] Thanks for thinking along [23:46] It really helps when you try to manage your system when you just got back from a party at 1:30 am [23:47] hehe, didn't think about auto :D [23:48] feeling the same here, it's past 1.40 and my brain doesn't really follow what I do atm :) [23:55] Where are you from, Otyg? [23:56] Somewhere from Scandinavia down to Italy I'd say
