xubuntu148hey. what is different between Ubuntu and Xubuntu?01:56
pleia2xubuntu148: different desktop environment and default applications02:00
xubuntu148in your opinion better or worse?02:00
pleia2it depends on the user02:01
xubuntu148How do you mean?02:02
pleia2everyone has their own preferences, one is not "better" than the other02:05

scarecrowhey guys, i have a trouble running compiz+emerald on xubuntu 12.04. Windows decoration doesn't work, can i fix that?11:08
ochosiscarecrow: i think emerald is quite a dead project11:10
ochosiscarecrow: apart from that, you can try to set /usr/bin/emerald (or whatever the command was) in compizconfig-settingsmanager (or whatever it's called) in the window-decoration setting11:11
ochosiscarecrow: or just try alt+f2 "emerald --replace"11:11
scarecrowi tried that, no success, i will try the first one, the interesting think is that working on 11.1011:12
ochosias i said, it's a dead project, so there are a gazillion possible reasons for it to stop working11:12
ochosicompiz otoh is actively developed for ubuntu11:12
ochosiyou can also try to use metacity instead11:13
ochosi(our default theme has both, emerald and metacity support)11:13
aquixso I can use metacity to get compiz working with xfce?11:16
scarecrowthanks ochosi, i will try now11:16
ochosiaquix: yes (or compiz-gnome, as the package is called, iirc)11:17
ochosiscarecrow: good luck11:17
aquixhmm. I'll look into it. Compiled emerald and it's running fine. Thanks for the tip11:19
ochosiaquix: in my experience metacity is more stable than emerald, that's why i wouldn't recommend emerald to anyone11:23
aquixI'm a newcommer to xfce from mint 11 and was confused by using metacity with compiz, but it's a better solution. I know emerald is unsupported.11:25
aquixxubuntu 12.04 is such a sweet release. I have run it since it came out and are very impressed..11:29
aquixand I can't stop saying so :)11:29

metalshi12:03
metalsI just downloaded Calibri font but it doesn't have any install button12:03
metalswhere can I add that?12:03
Myrtticopy it into your .fonts directory12:03
metalswhere is it?12:04
metalshow can I reach such folders?12:04
Myrttiit's in your homedirectory, it's a hidden directory12:05
drceither in /usr/share/fonts or ~/.fonts...to see the hidden dirs in thunar, CTRL H12:06
drcand probably you'll have to make the ~/.fonts, I don't think its there by default12:06
drcHINT:  It's NOT ~/.fontconfig :)12:07

craigbass1976I had a lucid to precise upgrade go terribly wrong yesterday.  After a reinstall, I'm almost back up.  How the blazes to I get a custom app launcher (it's going to point at a shell script) into a panel?13:56
WizardHi!14:02
craigbass1976Wizard, Hey!14:02
Wizardcraigbass1976: Rigth click on a panel, select "Launcher"14:03
craigbass1976Are you saying that's how to add the launcher I'm after?14:03
WizardYes.14:03
WizardIt is possible to choose existing (system provided) one, or create your own.14:04
WizardAnd thanks for warning, I was considering updating lucid → precise today.14:04
craigbass1976Wizard, it might go fine for you.  I find that over the course of an Ubuntu instance, I end up having to grab stuff from other repos and I imagine one of those is what blew me out of the water.  I do have this nice fresh feeling now, like from a fabric softener commercial, since the incident.  :)14:05

GridCubeautif, you mean desktop icons?20:30
Phips-I have a question: when I want to install xubuntu as second OS. Is that only able with booting a live CD or can I do tht like the normal ubuntu, like a programm?20:31
GridCubeyou can disable them from the desktop configuration, last tab is icons (first one is wallpapers), there you disable your icons, i like to keep the live media icons on, because if no live media in the computer they dont show, and if i plug a pendrive it shows an icon there :D20:31
GridCubePhips-, you can do wubi installs aswell20:32
Phips-and what is that o.O :d20:32

Phips-ehy, the "wubi" works at Win-XP station?20:41
Phips-oh I have it ^^20:42
martianHey folks, thinking of making the switch to xfce as it seems my old ubuntu 11.04 desktop isn't getting nice updates like gimp 1.820:43
martianSo how do you install a theme in this thing?20:43
martianJust copy to ~/.themes?20:43
GridCubeyes20:43
SpiKe_Spiegelyes20:43
martian#whydidIevenask :)20:44
SpiKe_Spiegeland then you select the appropriate theme in the Xfce parameters20:44
Phips-when I install this: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer is that the 64-bit version?20:45
SpiKe_SpiegelHowever, I'm not sure that Gimp 2.8 will be in Ubunt 12.04 repos20:45
* GridCube knows that unity themes need a special programs and tinkering with the system because "theming" is not supported20:45
GridCube!info gimp20:45
ubottugimp (source: gimp): The GNU Image Manipulation Program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.12-1ubuntu1 (precise), package size 4611 kB, installed size 12814 kB20:45
GridCubenope20:45
Phips-GridCube: @ me or @ martian? :)20:46
martianSpiKe_Spiegel: well, it's in the unofficial (webupd8) repos but only for 12.x... it's more of a matter that the times are changing and it's a sign that I should look in to my next UI20:47
martianI can't handle unity :-P20:47
SpiKe_Spiegelmartian, so Xfce is a good choice ^^20:47
GridCubePhips-, I have literally no idea of how wubi works20:47
martianSpiKe_Spiegel: I've always liked it; just never had a reason to bother switching20:48
Phips-GridCube: ok ^^20:48
GridCubebut if i have to guess, ill say that you cant run linux amd64 if you are not running windows amd6420:48
GridCubebut really don't know20:49
Phips-mh ^^20:49
GridCubeill recommend you to do a clean install20:49
Phips-with the CD?20:49
GridCubeit can install alongside windows fairly easy20:49
GridCubeyes Phips-20:49
GridCubeor a pendrive20:49
GridCubei havent burn cds in a long time :P20:50
EvilResistancewhat's the default mail application in xubuntu?20:50
SpiKe_SpiegelThunderbird20:50

EvilResistancethanks20:51
Phips-*browser20:51
autifGridCube: yes, I meant desktop icons. It seems like I need to run xsetroot -cursor someting something from somewhere in the X startup - I just can;t get where - if I sleep 30 seconds and then start - everything is just fine20:51
GridCubeO_O20:52
GridCubewhat?20:52
GridCubeare you not using xfce?20:52

autifso, I do not need themese20:52
autifor I need transparent theme - which does not seem to exist20:53
autiffor a touchscreen20:53
autifthis is the next best thing20:53

autifsorry20:53
Phips-wish you good day, see you soon bye20:55
starnwhy are my youtube videos blue tinted? like people are blue?21:09
GridCubestarn, because of hardware acceletarion21:11
Sysiright click -> settings -> uncheck hardware acceleration21:11
GridCubedisable it21:11
Sysibecause flash sucks21:11
GridCubebecause video drivers for linux sucks too21:12
starnsure it's not ffmepg stuff? and Sysi flash does suck haha21:12
GridCubestarn, no, its just flash21:12
GridCubeand video drivers21:12
starni remember having this issue april 1 and fixed it.. not fully sure how.. i think i had to do something with gstreamer or ffmepg21:12
* GridCube shrugs21:13
starnbe right back switching OS's..21:13
t0rx__Anyone know the PPA for the mainline kernel on 12.04 to update to 3.3.4 via apt-get?21:15
GridCube!kernel | t0rx__21:16
ubottut0rx__: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages)21:16
drc This Smurfiness is funny...on the same hardware with the same nvidia driver, I get it with slackware/salix and fedora but not with X/Ubuntu, debian or Linux Mint.21:16
GridCubeja, i got it in this machine21:17
t0rx__ubottu: my video card has drivers that are in the 3.3.4 kernel but not enabled by default.  Thus I need to recompile with them enabled.  So I'm guessing I need to get the ubuntu 3.3.4 NOT the kernel.org version?21:18
ubottut0rx__: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)21:18
starnhmm.. can't remember what i did to fix blue youtube videos.. i use chrome.. and i am pretty sure it had to do with unofficial flash stuff... for my computer will not let me select or deselect hardware acc.21:56
starnlike under settings for flash the menu buttons don't work i can't click them i can tab through them but it wont let me use space or enter to select them it lets me use enter to close though.21:57
starnfixed it!! it was mplayer / libvdpau122:02
Sysivdpau is the thingy doing hw-acceleration22:03
starnso to fix blue smurf people on youtube just remove mplayer and libvdpau122:03
knomeor use the html5 version?22:04
starnit was acting up in html5 even.22:04
Sysireally funky drivers22:05
starnindeed. i have nvidia..  i've been in html5 trail for awhile..22:05
starni've noticed some videos force me to use flash though. what up with that22:06
Sysisome videos are just not available in html5(webm/h264/something)22:07
starnah well i fixed my issue. i don't see why mplayer would effect chrome and flash videos.22:07
starnholy crap.. i even fixed my musictube problem.. o.O huh welp i'm done for the day.22:08
RestringelThis is the guy with the Vostro 1500 trouble22:11
RestringelI found an interesting solution22:11
starnnow than i tried to use compiz w/e for 3d desktop.. and now i'm unable to log into my normal desktop. any suggestions?22:11
RestringelTo speed things up - as a result of very buggy Nvidia drivers - I dropped the color bit depth to 56K, turned off advanced GPU features and22:12
RestringelWow, it works better, less jittery22:12
RestringelI'll probably have to wait until 12.10 to see massive improvements22:12
RestringelAnyone have anymore Nvidia related performance tweaks?22:14
xubuntu433hi, is there a way to change/switch my keyboard layout in us,greek and vise versa?22:36
GridCubeyes22:39
GridCubexubuntu433, theres a keyboard switch button for the panel, if its not there already you might have to install xfce goodies22:40
LiquidBluesI'm having a problem getting Xubuntu 12.04 to boot from CD or USB.  Is there a way to start the install from the OS already on it?22:41
GridCubei dont understand22:41
LiquidBluesI've made a CD-ROM and it won't boot into the install.  Same for USB.22:42
LiquidBluesSo, just trying to find a way around it.22:42
xubuntu433found it, thank you very much!22:42
knomeLiquidBlues, it's possible, but you can't install to the same partition you are running from22:42
LiquidBluesYeah, that makes sense.22:42
GridCubeLiquidBlues, you can try the alternate cd22:42
LiquidBluesGridCube: What does that do for me?22:42
GridCubeit doesnt load a graphical interface and its faster22:43
LiquidBluesOh.22:43
LiquidBluesSounds promising.22:43
LiquidBluesSo, how do I select the options that come with the GUI install?22:43
GridCubeno, you need the alternate ISO22:44
LiquidBluesRight.  So, I download and burn that.22:45
LiquidBluesBut the regular iso gives me install options on the gui.22:45
LiquidBluesAnd you're saying I don't have those on the alternate.22:45
GridCubeLiquidBlues, you have all the same options, just not graphically, textually22:46
LiquidBluesAh, okay.  Grand idea.22:46
LiquidBluesI'll give it a whirl.22:46
* GridCube thinks he really has to make his alternate tutorial22:46
LiquidBluesYeah!  What the hell?22:47
LiquidBluesSlacker.22:47
LiquidBlues;)22:47
GridCube:P22:47
Viva_CaligulaI jus installed the latest xubuntu and I can't login normally22:59
Viva_Caligulathe splash displays, but there's a gray square where the login prompt should be23:00
Viva_CaligulaI'm connected with irssi running in a root shell right now23:01
Viva_Caligulaannybody know how to fix the login manager?23:01
pleia2Viva_Caligula: fresh install, or an upgrade?23:02
Viva_Caligulafresh install23:02
pleia2hmm, haven't seen that one before23:02
Viva_CaligulaI tried versions before the current one, but after karmic, and the supported ones refuse to install23:03
Viva_CaligulaI have a dual boot with karmic atm (old install), bu they don't share a /home23:03
Viva_Caligularunning dpkg didn't help23:05
pleia2I'm not finding much, but as a datapoint it's using lightdm as the login manager, so that may help find some clues23:05
pleia2Viva_Caligula: maybe take a look at /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log23:05
Viva_Caligulathe system is borderline unresponsive when started normally23:06
Viva_Caligulait responds to the mouse jerkily with up to 5 seconds of delay, and won't shut down, or bring a terminal up23:06
Viva_Caligulapleia2: is nano installed by default?23:07
pleia2Viva_Caligula: yep, or vi23:07
pleia2(er, I think vi..)23:07
knomei think nano is ;)23:07
knomeat least..23:07
knomeand it gives me less shivers23:07
Viva_Caligulahmm, since I'm in a root shell, I don't think I can switch terminal windows23:08
Viva_Caligulaalt + f<number> just gives a black screen23:08
* nanotube >_>23:08
Viva_CaligulaI have to dc to look at the file, anything in particular I should look for?23:09
pleia2warnings, errors23:11
pleia2start at the bottom23:11
Viva_Caligulaokay, brb23:11
Viva_NeroI see some stuff about shutting down and sigterm, after a gap in the timestamps, but I think that's from me having to force a hrad shutdown23:18
Viva_Nero*hard23:19
Viva_Neroother than that, nothing seems out of place23:19

Punk_Unityim having trouble installing themes from xfce-look.org23:37
Unit193What are you doing with them?23:41
Punk_Unitytryign to download them and install them23:42
Punk_Unityim running precise23:43
Viva_NeroOkay, running the irc client on a different computer now, so I'm free to mess with the broken install23:43
Punk_Unityxubuntu23:43
Unit193Punk_Unity: So you just don't know how? Alright, make a dir in your home folder named .themes23:43
Punk_Unityok23:43
Unit193!themes23:43
ubottuTo change your theme in Xubuntu, go to Settings Manager » Appearance (GTK+ theme) or Settings Manager » Window Manager (xfwm4 theme) to change the theme - find more themes at http://xfce-look.org/ or http://gnome-look.org/ (for GTK+ themes)23:43
Punk_Unityi did that23:45
Punk_Unitybut there arent any i really like in stock format23:45
Punk_Unityi go to that site and download them, extract them... and i dotn see the new ones in settings23:45
Punk_Unityim also running compiz23:45
Punk_Unityi added the folder .themes to my home folder23:46
Punk_Unitybut i dont see it23:46
Viva_NeroI've not figured out my login troubles yet23:47
Unit193It's hidden, did you open Appearance in the settings manager? I don't know where themes would mesh with compiz.23:47
Viva_Neroit'll boot to a splash, but where the login prompt should be is a gray square, and the system goes near-unresponsive23:47
Punk_Unityjust wanted to let you know what i had going on, thanks... let me get into settigns manager, 1 sec23:48
Viva_Nerolightdm's log file didn't have anything that stood out23:48
Punk_Unityok, im in Appearance23:48
Punk_Unityi dont see any of the themes that i downloaded23:49
Punk_Unitylike orta, and so on23:49
=== Unit193 is now known as TheMaster
Punk_Unityok, i see the .Themes folder now23:51
Punk_Unityshould i extract the tar.gz files into that folder?23:51
TheMasterHas to be '.themes'23:51
Viva_Nerois there a different login manager I can install/set as the default?23:52
Punk_Unityactually its a zip file23:52
Punk_Unityits .themes sorry23:52
TheMasterViva_Nero: Yep, you can use whatever you want, GDM, slim, lightdm, LXDM, etc.23:52
Viva_Nerowhat did jaunty use?23:52
Viva_NeroI prefer having to type out the username as well as the pass23:52
TheMasterSlim and LXDM need that, and I *think* you can get that in LightDM.23:53
Viva_Nerowikipedia says lightdm is used for 11.10 onward, not for sure what was used before23:55
TheMasterGDM was.23:55
Punk_Unityok, so if i download the orta zip file... what should i do next?23:56
Punk_Unityfrom xfce-look.org23:56
Viva_Neroif I just do apt-get install GDM from a root shell, will it install and load instead of lightdm?23:57
TheMasterFor me it works to extract it to .themes.23:57
TheMasterViva_Nero: It'll ask what you want to use as default.23:57
Viva_Nerorebooting it, one sec23:59
