chm3raCan someone help me with my system. The USB 3.0 port stopped working so I rebooted the system. After I rebooted, all the xubuntu xfce defaults reloaded and certain folders are duplicated and completely empty. I can't find anything in the logs about what happened.02:48
chm3raFor instance, my Music, Videos, Downloads, Documents, and Picture folders are now empty02:49
chm3radu reports that the used space went from ~170G to about 70G02:50
Xifanie<Space Core> Space space space. Going. Going there. Okay. I love you, space.02:50
chm3raBut it seems that only the default folders have been reset02:52
chm3raAll the other folders are fine02:52
al_hello I am using xubuntu 11.10 and firefox has stopped playing soundcloud files, can anybody help me get it working again?03:02
chm3rathis makes no sense at all03:17
chm3radu reports 70 gigs used by the home partition, df reports 170G used03:18
alcomputerhello all of a sudden my computer wont play soundcloud files, can anybody help me?03:33

potapovHi. What should I do, if update manager has stalled? The last message is "flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.236.orig.tar.gz" I can successfully download this archive with wget but update manager for some reason has stalled on this step and seems to do nothing for more than an hour08:51
potapovthe cancel button is inactive and I am not sure if it's a good idea just to kill the process08:53
xubuntu704using uefi mode on an e520, I used linux live to create a USB live-cd of Xubuntu, then installed xubuntu; but grub never shows up and the computer goes straight to Windows10:04
xubuntu704switching to non-uefi mode still doesn't bring up grub.10:04

boyfromltHi all. I wanna ask about diferences between desktop and alternative, wich one is lighter?11:45
boyfromltAnybody?11:46
linuxshineabout xfce?11:49
hobgoblindekstop and alternative what? downloads? if that is what you are after - one is a livecd the other textbased installer11:49
boyfromltahh okey, can  you tell me the min specs?11:52
knomeboyfromlt, http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/11:52
boyfromlthere is only writen about ram, what about procesor?11:55
psycho_oreosprocessor speeds aren't particularly important. That just depends on how long you want to wait11:56
psycho_oreosnormally, sane people would stick by pentium II as bare minimal, any lower than that and be prepared for some delays here and there especially in GUI11:57
boyfromltI have old pc with intel celeron about 750mhz, how do you think its enought?11:58
boyfromltFor normal working with pc, because using Windows XP i can't even go to facebook, etc.. Pc is too laggy, meyby with xubuntu it could be faster?12:00
boyfromltOr mayby i shoul choose lubuntu?12:01
boyfromlt*Or mayby i should choose lubuntu?12:01
knomeboyfromlt, you can try with the live cd12:01
knomeboyfromlt, but lubuntu should be even faster12:01
boyfromltCould I use LXDE on xubuntu? Does xubuntu have feuture to install directly from windows? How ubuntu have? Becouse lubuntu doesn't have this feuture... And my cd-rom is broken... :)12:04
knomeboyfromlt, xubuntu up to 12.04 has wubi support, but that's not encouraged12:05
knomeboyfromlt, yes, you can install lxde in xubuntu too, but that would defeat the purpose12:05
boyfromltWhy?12:06
knomewhy what?12:06
hobgoblinwubi I suspect12:06
boyfromltYes12:06
boyfromltwubi12:06
knomewubi is prone to many errors12:06
hobgoblinit's not a long term solution - more a test thing12:06
knomeyes, that too12:07
hobgoblinyou 'could' install with wubi and then change it to a real install - with a real partition - lot of work though - might be a lot easier to see if you can borrow a cd-rom12:08
boyfromltit's enought for me today, tomorrow i will get cd rom and if xubuntu works good i will install it in normal way.12:08
hobgoblinI would12:09
boyfromltThanks you all. :) i will be back. :D12:10
hobgoblin:)12:11
boyfromltwith some more stupid questinios i think... :)12:11
PopeJowhats the easiest way to get rid of tumlerd?13:37
PopeJoit just used 3gig ram and 3.5 swap13:37
PopeJoI disabled "previews", is that enough? (cant uninstall tumlerd, as its connected to xubuntu-desktop)13:44
hobgoblinI've never worried about removing any of the -desktop meta packages13:49
hobgoblinI'd be more inclined to wonder why tumbler was using that much ram13:50
PopeJotumlered uses much ram when it tries to get thumbnails from badly scanned pdfs14:03
PopeJoI know which files cause the error, but I want to keep the files (and not tumbler ;) )14:05
PopeJoanyway, seems simply disabling the preview-function did the trick already14:06
PopeJoall good :)14:06
hobgoblin:)14:06

mongyodradek,  mind providing a screenshot?20:24
odradekok I ll try20:25
odradeksorry but how can I send screenshot here ?20:28
SandJIn Xubuntu use the PrintScreen key and you will be able - and prompted - to create an account on ZimageZ.  After that sharing screen dumps is dead easy.20:30
SandJAlternatively, press PrintScreen and save the image as a file.  Then use any of the free web-based photo sharing sites and give us the link.20:31
odradekok I did it I think here it is...http://imgur.com/DxeMl20:32
mongypress prntscrn and save it, then drop it into imgur.com20:32
mongywell  that's a window decorator issue20:32
mongyyou are using compiz in xfce I guess20:32
odradekyes20:32
odradekbut google or duckgo is fine20:33
odradekonly utube20:33
odradekxfme4 window man. has the same issue20:33
mongyeither use emerald to use a proper window theme or use gtk-window-decorator --metacity-theme=your gtk or metacity theme here in the window decorator plugin in compizconfig20:34
mongyI prefer emerald myself.20:34
odradekI use gtk window decorater now, emerald doesn't work somehow20:35
mongyxfwm has same issue?  hmmm..20:35
mongyis it just firefox?20:35
odradekyes20:35
mongyyou need to set /usr/bin/emerald in as the decorator in ccsm.  works here20:36

odradekI m quite new in xubuntu ( 2 days) :)20:38
mongyin the window decoration plugin in ccsm, the command should be /usr/bin/emerald or (you'll have to verify this I never actually used it, just something I read once..  /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator --use-metacity-theme=Ambiance  or whatever.20:39
mongymay just be --metacity-theme20:39

khmeroghi21:14
khmerog hi im using xubuntu 1204..does it use gtk2 or 3? im wondering if i should install the addon libreoffice-gtk321:14
GridCubeit uses both21:17
GridCubekhmerog,21:17
khmerogohh? people in xfce says it only uses gtk2 GridCube21:19
GridCubexfce is not xubuntu21:19
GridCubexubuntu ships both21:19
martinphonewhat do I have to do with a dtd file?21:20
GridCubexfce is gtk2, xubunt uses both, some programs call gtk3, like the ubuntu software center, the others use gtk2 khmerog21:20
martinphonehttp://sourceforge.net/projects/xdxf/21:20
GridCubemartinphone, you should read about xml21:21
khmerogthank you gridecube21:21
GridCubemartinphone, http://www.w3schools.com/dtd/default.asp21:21
