[00:16] Hi guys. I have this problem: [00:16] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 247 [00:16] how to solve it [02:48] Can 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. [02:49] For instance, my Music, Videos, Downloads, Documents, and Picture folders are now empty [02:50] du reports that the used space went from ~170G to about 70G [02:50] Space space space. Going. Going there. Okay. I love you, space. [02:52] But it seems that only the default folders have been reset [02:52] All the other folders are fine [03:02] hello I am using xubuntu 11.10 and firefox has stopped playing soundcloud files, can anybody help me get it working again? [03:17] this makes no sense at all [03:18] du reports 70 gigs used by the home partition, df reports 170G used [03:33] hello all of a sudden my computer wont play soundcloud files, can anybody help me? [03:38] alcomputer: i would try the chrome browser to see if its a flash player issue [03:38] ok [03:43] i tried chrome but still no luck [03:52] alcomputer: maybe its just on the server side [03:52] a temporary glitch... if its just that one site, i would just give them some time [03:53] many thanks for your help === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [08:51] Hi. 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 hour [08:53] the cancel button is inactive and I am not sure if it's a good idea just to kill the process [10:04] using 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 Windows [10:04] switching to non-uefi mode still doesn't bring up grub. [11:44] resolv.conf points to 127.0.0.1 where bind is listneing, but bind configs are not updated to include name servers based on my DHCP negotiations [11:45] Hi all. I wanna ask about diferences between desktop and alternative, wich one is lighter? [11:46] Anybody? [11:49] about xfce? [11:49] dekstop and alternative what? downloads? if that is what you are after - one is a livecd the other textbased installer [11:52] ahh okey, can you tell me the min specs? [11:52] boyfromlt, http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ [11:55] here is only writen about ram, what about procesor? [11:56] processor speeds aren't particularly important. That just depends on how long you want to wait [11:57] normally, 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 GUI [11:58] I have old pc with intel celeron about 750mhz, how do you think its enought? [12:00] For 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? [12:01] Or mayby i shoul choose lubuntu? [12:01] *Or mayby i should choose lubuntu? [12:01] boyfromlt, you can try with the live cd [12:01] boyfromlt, but lubuntu should be even faster [12:04] Could 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... :) [12:05] boyfromlt, xubuntu up to 12.04 has wubi support, but that's not encouraged [12:05] boyfromlt, yes, you can install lxde in xubuntu too, but that would defeat the purpose [12:06] Why? [12:06] why what? [12:06] wubi I suspect [12:06] Yes [12:06] wubi [12:06] wubi is prone to many errors [12:06] it's not a long term solution - more a test thing [12:07] yes, that too [12:08] you '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-rom [12:08] it's enought for me today, tomorrow i will get cd rom and if xubuntu works good i will install it in normal way. [12:09] I would [12:10] Thanks you all. :) i will be back. :D [12:11] :) [12:11] with some more stupid questinios i think... :) [13:37] whats the easiest way to get rid of tumlerd? [13:37] it just used 3gig ram and 3.5 swap [13:44] I disabled "previews", is that enough? (cant uninstall tumlerd, as its connected to xubuntu-desktop) [13:49] I've never worried about removing any of the -desktop meta packages [13:50] I'd be more inclined to wonder why tumbler was using that much ram [14:03] tumlered uses much ram when it tries to get thumbnails from badly scanned pdfs [14:05] I know which files cause the error, but I want to keep the files (and not tumbler ;) ) [14:06] anyway, seems simply disabling the preview-function did the trick already [14:06] all good :) [14:06] :) [14:39] Howdy all [15:47] hi all, my xubuntu just right now - after i turned on, lat time wasn't like that - stop showing the (- + x) buttons on top right. what happened? [15:49] you lost your windows borders [15:50] press alt-f2 and write: xfwm4 [15:50] and execute it [15:50] magic! [15:51] GridCube, ohm thanks, a lot. why that happened? [15:51] no idea. it just happens sometimes, maybe a wrong update, maybe something else took it away [15:52] GridCube, i reboot the system and nothing happened, i started to get frightened [15:52] GridCube, thanks a lot [15:52] :) [15:52] :) it happens [15:52] dont worry [17:23] I'm attempting a release upgrade [17:23] If it works on my machine, I'll try it on my sister-in-law's [17:28] :) === Guest98216 is now known as epzil0n === epzil0n is now known as Guest14938 === Guest14938 is now known as epzil0n [19:12] please can you help [19:12] !ask | dan_ [19:12] dan_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [19:14] i need help with multi monitors in xubuntu 12.04 [19:19] Hello [19:52] What network manager does xubuntu use [20:06] hellp [20:06] hello [20:20] how to change text color in firefox in xubuntu I wonder ? [20:22] can anyone help me with tht pls ? [20:22] something I've never considered. no idea. [20:22] in youtube text box all is white [20:22] alright, what to do when this happen? http://i.imgur.com/IeICO.jpg [20:23] or whiteish [20:23] taken from virtualbox, but same thing happen with live usb [20:24] xubuntu738, tried setting the installer running from boot instead of from live session ? [20:24] hmm wait, nevermind, seems my image got corrupted [20:24] odradek, mind providing a screenshot? [20:25] ok I ll try [20:28] sorry but how can I send screenshot here ? [20:30] In 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. [20:31] Alternatively, 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. [20:32] ok I did it I think here it is...http://imgur.com/DxeMl [20:32] press prntscrn and save it, then drop it into imgur.com [20:32] well that's a window decorator issue [20:32] you are using compiz in xfce I guess [20:32] yes [20:33] but google or duckgo is fine [20:33] only utube [20:33] xfme4 window man. has the same issue [20:34] either 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 compizconfig [20:34] I prefer emerald myself. [20:35] I use gtk window decorater now, emerald doesn't work somehow [20:35] xfwm has same issue? hmmm.. [20:35] is it just firefox? [20:35] yes [20:36] you need to set /usr/bin/emerald in as the decorator in ccsm. works here [20:36] it s said emerald isn't working on 12.04. How could you make it work then ? [20:36] I dont use FF, sorry [20:36] :) wonder what u use ? [20:36] I'm actually on arch at the mo.. but when on xubuntu I compiled it. [20:37] aye [20:37] ok I ll try emerald again [20:37] btw can you explain ccsm a bit pls ? [20:37] there is a ppa on webupd8 also, but it was for only 11.10 last time I looked, but if you force it it will work I guess. [20:38] I m quite new in xubuntu ( 2 days) :) [20:39] in 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] may just be --metacity-theme [20:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11401326 how to compile it [20:40] emerald that is. [20:40] quite simple [20:41] I have tried it with gtk replace command [20:41] ok mongy I ll give it a try again, I appriciate your help [21:14] hi [21:14] hi im using xubuntu 1204..does it use gtk2 or 3? im wondering if i should install the addon libreoffice-gtk3 [21:17] it uses both [21:17] khmerog, [21:19] ohh? people in xfce says it only uses gtk2 GridCube [21:19] xfce is not xubuntu [21:19] xubuntu ships both [21:20] what do I have to do with a dtd file? [21:20] xfce is gtk2, xubunt uses both, some programs call gtk3, like the ubuntu software center, the others use gtk2 khmerog [21:20] http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdxf/ [21:21] martinphone, you should read about xml [21:21] thank you gridecube [21:21] martinphone, http://www.w3schools.com/dtd/default.asp [21:26] though martinphone xml schemas are the way to go in the latests eras http://www.w3schools.com/schema/default.asp [22:05] I cant seem to install/activate the ATI/AMD proprietary drivers, Jockey.log if that gives any information: http://pastebin.com/U48Fr4hN graphics card is a 7850 [22:08] How can i check to make sure i have plenty of disk space ? [22:09] I setup xubuntu in wubi however i got a odd error on startup saying i was low on disk space, when i checked it it shows as my ext4 partition being 98% used and a cealing of 4gb [22:09] device loop2 is showing 99% used, it doesn't make sense [22:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1032835/ [22:38] what's the theme name used by xubuntu? too lazy to login in another account to see the defaults [22:39] greybird [22:45] mongy: that's same as the pre-12, right? [22:46] afaik, it's still greybird [22:46] just modified slightly. [22:47] I have two: greybird, and Greybird [22:48] I tried them both, both seem the same. [22:48] hmm yeah, same here [22:50] does gtk3 stuf blink? [22:50] themes-wise [22:51] when ubuntu's updater is running, it gets an initial hickup where it looks bluish initially, and hten it wears a proper theme [22:51] dunno, I use another theme [22:52] hey guys, i'm trying to figure out how to switch my language on xfce4, i am stuck, anyone able to help?
