[00:16] <P-Chan> Hi guys. I have this problem:
[00:16] <P-Chan> *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is  247
[00:16] <P-Chan> how to solve it
[02:48] <chm3ra> 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] <chm3ra> For instance, my Music, Videos, Downloads, Documents, and Picture folders are now empty
[02:50] <chm3ra> du reports that the used space went from ~170G to about 70G
[02:50] <Xifanie> <Space Core> Space space space. Going. Going there. Okay. I love you, space.
[02:52] <chm3ra> But it seems that only the default folders have been reset
[02:52] <chm3ra> All the other folders are fine
[03:02] <al_> hello I am using xubuntu 11.10 and firefox has stopped playing soundcloud files, can anybody help me get it working again?
[03:17] <chm3ra> this makes no sense at all
[03:18] <chm3ra> du reports 70 gigs used by the home partition, df reports 170G used
[03:33] <alcomputer> hello all of a sudden my computer wont play soundcloud files, can anybody help me?
[03:38] <holstein> alcomputer: i would try the chrome browser to see if its a flash player issue
[03:38] <alcomputer> ok
[03:43] <alcomputer> i tried chrome but still no luck
[03:52] <holstein> alcomputer: maybe its just on the server side
[03:52] <holstein> a temporary glitch... if its just that one site, i would just give them some time
[03:53] <alcomputer> many thanks for your help
[08:51] <potapov> 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] <potapov> the cancel button is inactive and I am not sure if it's a good idea just to kill the process
[10:04] <xubuntu704> 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] <xubuntu704> switching to non-uefi mode still doesn't bring up grub.
[11:44] <mtrg> 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] <boyfromlt> Hi all. I wanna ask about diferences between desktop and alternative, wich one is lighter?
[11:46] <boyfromlt> Anybody?
[11:49] <linuxshine> about xfce?
[11:49] <hobgoblin> dekstop and alternative what? downloads? if that is what you are after - one is a livecd the other textbased installer
[11:52] <boyfromlt> ahh okey, can  you tell me the min specs?
[11:52] <knome> boyfromlt, http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
[11:55] <boyfromlt> here is only writen about ram, what about procesor?
[11:56] <psycho_oreos> processor speeds aren't particularly important. That just depends on how long you want to wait
[11:57] <psycho_oreos> 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] <boyfromlt> I have old pc with intel celeron about 750mhz, how do you think its enought?
[12:00] <boyfromlt> 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] <boyfromlt> Or mayby i shoul choose lubuntu?
[12:01] <boyfromlt> *Or mayby i should choose lubuntu?
[12:01] <knome> boyfromlt, you can try with the live cd
[12:01] <knome> boyfromlt, but lubuntu should be even faster
[12:04] <boyfromlt> 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] <knome> boyfromlt, xubuntu up to 12.04 has wubi support, but that's not encouraged
[12:05] <knome> boyfromlt, yes, you can install lxde in xubuntu too, but that would defeat the purpose
[12:06] <boyfromlt> Why?
[12:06] <knome> why what?
[12:06] <hobgoblin> wubi I suspect
[12:06] <boyfromlt> Yes
[12:06] <boyfromlt> wubi
[12:06] <knome> wubi is prone to many errors
[12:06] <hobgoblin> it's not a long term solution - more a test thing
[12:07] <knome> yes, that too
[12:08] <hobgoblin> 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] <boyfromlt> 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] <hobgoblin> I would
[12:10] <boyfromlt> Thanks you all. :) i will be back. :D
[12:11] <hobgoblin> :)
[12:11] <boyfromlt> with some more stupid questinios i think... :)
[13:37] <PopeJo> whats the easiest way to get rid of tumlerd?
[13:37] <PopeJo> it just used 3gig ram and 3.5 swap
[13:44] <PopeJo> I disabled "previews", is that enough? (cant uninstall tumlerd, as its connected to xubuntu-desktop)
[13:49] <hobgoblin> I've never worried about removing any of the -desktop meta packages
[13:50] <hobgoblin> I'd be more inclined to wonder why tumbler was using that much ram
[14:03] <PopeJo> tumlered uses much ram when it tries to get thumbnails from badly scanned pdfs
[14:05] <PopeJo> I know which files cause the error, but I want to keep the files (and not tumbler ;) )
[14:06] <PopeJo> anyway, seems simply disabling the preview-function did the trick already
[14:06] <PopeJo> all good :)
[14:06] <hobgoblin> :)
[14:39] <AngerOn> Howdy all
[15:47] <de_leve> 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?

[15:50] <GridCube> and execute it
[15:50] <de_leve> magic!
[15:51] <de_leve> GridCube, ohm thanks, a lot. why that happened?
[15:51] <GridCube> no idea. it just happens sometimes, maybe a wrong update, maybe something else took it away
[15:52] <de_leve> GridCube, i reboot the system and nothing happened, i started to get frightened
[15:52] <de_leve> GridCube, thanks a lot
[15:52] <de_leve> :)

[15:52] <GridCube> dont worry

[19:12] <JoseeAntonioR> !ask | dan_
[19:14] <dan_> i need help with multi monitors in xubuntu 12.04
[19:19] <xubuntu225> Hello
[19:52] <phillip> What network manager does xubuntu use
[20:06] <waterDrop> hellp
[20:06] <waterDrop> hello
[20:20] <odradek> how to change text color in firefox in xubuntu I wonder ?
[20:22] <odradek> can anyone help me with tht pls ?
[20:22] <mongy> something I've never considered.  no idea.
[20:22] <odradek> in youtube text box all is white
[20:22] <xubuntu738> alright, what to do when this happen? http://i.imgur.com/IeICO.jpg
[20:23] <odradek> or whiteish
[20:23] <xubuntu738> taken from virtualbox, but same thing happen with live usb
[20:24] <mongy> xubuntu738, tried setting the installer running from boot instead of from live session ?
[20:24] <xubuntu738> hmm wait, nevermind, seems my image got corrupted
[20:24] <mongy> odradek,  mind providing a screenshot?
[20:25] <odradek> ok I ll try
[20:28] <odradek> sorry but how can I send screenshot here ?
[20:30] <SandJ> 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] <SandJ> 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] <odradek> ok I did it I think here it is...http://imgur.com/DxeMl
[20:32] <mongy> press prntscrn and save it, then drop it into imgur.com
[20:32] <mongy> well  that's a window decorator issue
[20:32] <mongy> you are using compiz in xfce I guess
[20:32] <odradek> yes
[20:33] <odradek> but google or duckgo is fine
[20:33] <odradek> only utube
[20:33] <odradek> xfme4 window man. has the same issue
[20:34] <mongy> 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] <mongy> I prefer emerald myself.
[20:35] <odradek> I use gtk window decorater now, emerald doesn't work somehow
[20:35] <mongy> xfwm has same issue?  hmmm..
[20:35] <mongy> is it just firefox?
[20:35] <odradek> yes
[20:36] <mongy> you need to set /usr/bin/emerald in as the decorator in ccsm.  works here
[20:36] <odradek> it s said emerald isn't working on 12.04. How could you make it work then ?
[20:36] <mongy> I dont use FF, sorry
[20:36] <odradek> :) wonder what u use ?
[20:36] <mongy> I'm actually on arch at the mo..  but when on xubuntu I compiled it.
[20:37] <odradek> aye
[20:37] <odradek> ok I ll try emerald again
[20:37] <odradek> btw can you explain ccsm a bit pls ?
[20:37] <mongy> 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] <odradek> I m quite new in xubuntu ( 2 days) :)
[20:39] <mongy> 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] <mongy> may just be --metacity-theme
[20:40] <mongy> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11401326        how to compile it
[20:40] <mongy> emerald that is.
[20:40] <mongy> quite simple
[20:41] <odradek> I have tried it with gtk replace command
[20:41] <odradek> ok mongy I ll give it a try again, I appriciate your help
[21:14] <khmerog> hi
[21:14] <khmerog>  hi im using xubuntu 1204..does it use gtk2 or 3? im wondering if i should install the addon libreoffice-gtk3
[21:17] <GridCube> it uses both
[21:17] <GridCube> khmerog,
[21:19] <khmerog> ohh? people in xfce says it only uses gtk2 GridCube
[21:19] <GridCube> xfce is not xubuntu
[21:19] <GridCube> xubuntu ships both
[21:20] <martinphone> what do I have to do with a dtd file?
[21:20] <GridCube> xfce is gtk2, xubunt uses both, some programs call gtk3, like the ubuntu software center, the others use gtk2 khmerog
[21:20] <martinphone> http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdxf/
[21:21] <GridCube> martinphone, you should read about xml
[21:21] <khmerog> thank you gridecube
[21:21] <GridCube> martinphone, http://www.w3schools.com/dtd/default.asp
[21:26] <GridCube> though martinphone xml schemas are the way to go in the latests eras http://www.w3schools.com/schema/default.asp
[22:05] <jw_> 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] <XDS20120> How can i check to make sure i have plenty of disk space ?
[22:09] <XDS20120> 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] <XDS20120> device loop2 is showing 99% used, it doesn't make sense
[22:14] <XDS20120> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1032835/
[22:38] <mtrg> what's the theme name used by xubuntu? too lazy to login in another account to see the defaults
[22:39] <mongy> greybird
[22:45] <mtrg> mongy: that's same as the pre-12, right?
[22:46] <mongy> afaik, it's still greybird
[22:46] <mongy> just modified slightly.
[22:47] <mtrg> I have two: greybird, and Greybird
[22:48] <mongy> I tried them both, both seem the same.
[22:48] <mtrg> hmm yeah, same here
[22:50] <mtrg> does gtk3 stuf blink?
[22:50] <mtrg> themes-wise
[22:51] <mtrg> 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] <mongy> dunno, I use another theme
[22:52] <alex9038493> hey guys, i'm trying to figure out how to switch my language on xfce4, i am stuck, anyone able to help?
[22:54] <GridCube> alex9038493, install a new one on >configuration >language support
[22:56] <alex9038493> it is already installed
[22:56] <alex9038493> but I can not switching between
