[01:40] <k_sze> What remote desktop solution shall I use with Xubuntu 12.04? freenx? neatx? x2go?
[01:40] <k_sze> (I want to access my Xubuntu desktop remotely, from Mac OS X and Windows machines).
[01:57] <ruien1> I recommend VNC personally.
[02:00] <ruien> specifically the "tightvncserver" package should work, and then there's TightVNC which works on linux and maybe Mac OS, as well as RealVNC on windows.
[02:00] <ruien> The VNC protocol is decent compared to the X protocol, and it's more secure - but that's what I've heard. I've only actually used VNC, and not the others.
[02:34] <thauriswulfa> HELP: how to set different wallpapers on different workspaces?
[03:43] <newb916> I was wondering what the difference between the "desktop" and "alternate" downloads are, and which one I should get.
[03:45] <newb916> and.... I'm figuring this out on my own through google.
[03:46] <newb916> problem solved.
[04:13] <kantoquad> hello I just installed 12.04 and unlike 11.10 with compiz , I have no window dressing compizz --replace does not work and window dressing is checked in the compiz manager, any idea
[04:21] <Sysi> kantoquad: install compiz-gnome (with --no-install-recommends)
[04:23] <kantoquad> will try that thanks
[04:24] <kantoquad> never heard of that but thanks Sysi
[04:24] <Sysi> then check that you have gtk-window-decorator set in compiz settings for providing window decorations
[04:24] <kantoquad> that is done
[04:31] <kantoquad> that did not work Sysi , obly chromw has minimize and maximize buttons
[04:32] <kantoquad> I did change the window decorator command based on a blog
[04:32] <kantoquad> earlier
[04:34] <kantoquad> and that was the issue Sysi
[04:34] <kantoquad> Thanks a lot

[06:26] <lucky86> hi all
[06:27] <lucky86> I just upgraded to xfce 8.10 now the system wont boot
[06:27] <lucky86> any advise on how to proceede would be appriciated
[06:29] <astraljava> lucky86: [4].10 isn't officially supported on any of the current stable releases. Try #ubuntu+1 for help.
[06:30] <lucky86> I kinda knew i was stepping in it when i started thanks
[07:49] <xubuntu053> Hi, I'm trying to install xubuntu on a spare Harddisk which is not formatted on a XP computer, Xubuntu install screen sees the sare harddisk and asks to partition a main and make a swap partition but could not finish
[07:50] <xubuntu053> The spare HD has been controlled and in working condition
[07:58] <ruien> do you get any errors?
[07:58] <xubuntu053> the bar mentioning the spare is orange not green, it says no operating system is foound
[07:59] <ruien> that seems odd; the partitioner should never care about that. Are you doing the advanced "partition it myself" option?
[07:59] <ruien> seems like all you need is one partition for / and another smaller one for swap and that's it
[08:00] <xubuntu053> yes I did partition 18 gb for / and 2 gb for swap
[08:00] <xubuntu053> which system should I choose? fat32 or ...
[08:01] <Sysi> ext4
[08:01] <xubuntu053> tried ext4 also...
[08:02] <xubuntu053> any other setting should I make
[08:03] <ruien> ext3?
[08:03] <ruien> in any case you only want ext3 or ext4
[08:04] <xubuntu053> thanks, I'll try once more and if cannot finish, will come back for more advice from you guys, cheers.
[08:04] <ruien> you can also use gparted
[08:04] <ruien> i.e. boot from the ubuntu disk / usb drive
[08:04] <ruien> then use gparted if you want to partition stuff manually
[08:04] <xubuntu053> yes?
[08:04] <ruien> I really like gparted, personally.
[08:05] <xubuntu053> I ll have a look at gparted... thanks
[08:05] <ruien> good luck

[10:12] <magnus_> is there away to change the xfce terminal title, from the command line, rather than through the gui. Like when you ssh into a server, it changes to the remote host user@host?
[10:14] <astraljava> magnus_: This one is for GNOME terminal, but it's a standard method. http://askubuntu.com/questions/22413/how-to-change-gnome-terminal-title

[10:36] <xubuntu214> hello! i just switched from Ubuntu 11.04 to Xubuntu 12.04. So far everything was great, but any/all USB drives don't stay mounted. they are automounted, and when i browse them, they shortly-thereafter disappear
[10:37] <xubuntu214> nor does it seem Xubuntu comes with a graphical disk utlity.
[10:38] <xubuntu214> ...any ideas?
[10:38] <baizon> xubuntu214: check dmesg
[10:38] <laite> xubuntu214: you can install gnome-disk-utility from software center/synaptic
[10:38] <baizon> you can use the ubuntu disk utility
[10:39] <xubuntu214> everytime it happens, i've done a full shutdown (to turn off the USB drive). i'm afraid if i keep doing it, i'll lose 200gb+ worth of data on the drive
[10:40] <xubuntu214> i'm not sure what i'm looking for in dmesg
[10:40] <baizon> xubuntu214: usb messages
[10:41] <baizon> that indicates for problems
[10:44] <xubuntu214> how far back does dmesg go?
[10:44] <xubuntu214> just from the most recent boot?
[10:44] <xubuntu214> i haven't connected it this time around (i was ssearching dmesg for previous bootups)
[10:44] <xubuntu214> but there's a lot in there
[10:48] <laite> xubuntu214: command 'dmesg | greb i- usb' shows only lines which mention word 'usb' (or 'USB')
[10:48] <xubuntu214> alright, ive just connected it, and run dmesg
[10:48] <laite> sorry, 'dmesg | grep -i usb'
[10:49] <laite> typos :/
[10:49] <xubuntu214> so far so good
[10:49] <xubuntu214> no worries
[10:49] <xubuntu214> it says its connected
[10:49] <xubuntu214> can i copy/paste info in here, or is that too much?
[10:50] <laite> you should propably use pastebin
[10:50] <laite> sorry, I gotta go, be back later
[10:50] <xubuntu214> k
[10:56] <xubuntu214> okay, error seems to occur @ line 31: http://pastebin.com/ppA4rTHZ
[10:57] <xubuntu214> any ideas GREATLY appreciated
[10:57] <xubuntu214> (to be sure, all usb drives worked--flawlessly--when i used ubuntu 11.04)
[11:17] <martinphone> do I lose quality if I format a m2ts file 4gb to a mkv one 3.7gb?
[11:18] <xubuntu214> fyi: i think this is my solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11882892
[11:18] <xubuntu214> thx all!
[12:55] <Belserusk> Why is Xubuntu so low in distrowatch ranking? Xfce is an excellent DE.
[13:07] <aquix> distrowatch ranking is not dogma and not important. If you happy with a distro, your happy
[13:12] <erik32533> i have question on xubuntu install
[13:12] <Belserusk> Why is Xubuntu so low in distrowatch ranking? Xfce is an excellent DE.
[13:14] <magnus_> Belserusk: agreed
[13:15] <Belserusk> magnus_, Why do you think is low in the ranking? Currently #27
[13:15] <magnus_> main stream like bells and whistles
[13:18] <astraljava> Belserusk: What has this to do with support? Please take this elsewhere, like -offtopic or something.
[13:18] <ochosi> ask! | erik32533
[13:18] <ochosi> meh
[13:18] <ochosi> !ask | erik32533

[13:19] <erik32533> it wont get past preparing to install
[13:22] <erik32533> any idea?
[13:43] <Belserusk> Does Xfce have a reload feature such as Cinnamon's Alt-F2 then typing 'r'  ?
[18:44] <w30> What's the program that lets Thunar resolve network:///    ?
[18:46] <w30> I want to put it on another box but I forgot what the app is? It gives you a Network folder in the left menu bar too.
[18:47] <w30> in Thunar
[18:54] <Unit193> gvfs-backends, iirc.
[19:59] <w30> What's the program that lets Thunar resolve network:///    ?
[20:00] <w30> I want to put it on another box but I forgot what the app is? It gives you a Network folder in the left menu bar too.
[20:00] <w30> in Thunar
[20:00] <pleia2> w30: did you try Unit193's answer?
[20:00] <pleia2> he suggested gvfs-backends
[20:00] <w30> pleia2, nope, net went down for a sec and did not get reply
[20:01] <w30> pleia2, yeah, thats it thanks
[20:01] <pleia2> welcome :)
[20:10] <AL_Kernell> hello all
[20:11] <AL_Kernell> anybody here also had problems with mouse acceleration ?
[20:11] <AL_Kernell> I managed to kill completly my Razer DeathAdder accelleration,   but now I would like to decrease the speed...
[20:12] <AL_Kernell> can't find a solution to this..
[20:12] <AL_Kernell> =[
[20:12] <AL_Kernell> must be very simple,   "speed" only...
[20:12] <AL_Kernell> all the dummy awnsers I got is by changing accell properties... (with I have just killed)
[21:37] <n2diy> Where'd they hide mozilla, firefox, and bookmarks? I just upgraded from 10.10, and they aren't where they used to be. Locate left me confused?
