pisecxis there any link to download xubuntu dvd image?00:50
pisecxis there any dvd images at all?00:51
crondpisecx, xubuntu comes in a 700mb cd iso01:16
crondbut you can burn it to a dvd if you wish01:17
pisecxhow?01:17
pisecxone person doesn't have internet and want to prepare dvd to take it home01:17
crondsame as you'd burn a cd01:17
crondjust put a dvd in the drive01:17
pisecxthe problem is - he needs lots of packages, the ability not to download them from internet01:17
crondpisecx, well, hm.01:18
pisecxyou usually download ubuntu dvd for that particular reason01:18
pisecxI recommended him to create a local dvd repository01:18
pisecxjust wanted to check if there are any xubuntu dvds or not01:19
pisecxit seems like not01:19
pisecxat least not on the official web site01:19
crondNot that I see in a listing on a mirror - http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/xubuntu-releases/12.04/release/01:19

BuntZooZooHey, can someone point me to the right place to set a screen resolution in Xubuntu?01:34
BuntZooZooI found the "Display" utility, but all it does is give me a list of 4 to pick from.01:35
BuntZooZooThe actual resolution of my netbook screen isn't an option.01:35
BuntZooZooSo, how do I add it?01:35
BuntZooZooI understand such magic can be accomplished with entries in the xorg.conf file...but I can't find an xorg.conf in xubuntu...01:38
bazhang!crosspost | BuntZooZoo01:39
ubottuBuntZooZoo: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support.01:39
BuntZooZoooh...busted.01:41
BuntZooZooI'd be happy to stick with #xubuntu but it looked like no one was talking in here.01:42
BuntZooZooAnd...no one is talking in here.  But someone's paying close enough attention to pick up a cross post.  was that a bot?01:43
bazhangBuntZooZoo, no01:43
bazhangBuntZooZoo, you are getting help in #ubuntu .01:43
BuntZooZooBut I01:44
bazhang...01:44
BuntZooZoo'm not. It loks like I need xubuntu specific info.01:44
bazhangno you don't01:44
BuntZooZoowell, the preferene utility in Xubuntu will be an XFCE utility, right?  It displays 4 resolutions for me.  How do I add another that actually matches my netbook screen?01:46
BuntZooZooI should be able to do this (I think) in xorg.conf. But I don't know if an entry there will show up in the Display utility's menu (which would be nice) AND, I can't actually find xubuntu's xorg.conf01:51
bazhangcreate one. it will be obeyed.01:53
BuntZooZooso, where does xubuntu's ordinary startup process get settings info from?  And where does the XFCE Display utility populate its menu from?  The docs that install with it are ...not very detailed.01:55

ChristopherNgknome: are you awake?05:46
ChristopherNgknome: wake up.05:49
knomeChristopherNg, :P07:10
ChristopherNgwelcome07:21
knomethanks07:21
ChristopherNgknome: does Xubuntu only change the GUI from the regular ubuntu or it changes some other things aswell?07:24
ChristopherNgI was going to ask if you would consider making xubuntu more light weight.07:25
astraljavaChristopherNg: Xubuntu uses Xfce4 as the DE, instead of GNOME (compared to vanilla).07:30
astraljavaThat's a big factor in making it more light-weight.07:30
astraljavaIf you have other suggestions, feel free to let us know.07:30
ChristopherNghow about removing those n00bish games and other things people do not use or need?07:32
hobgoblinwho picks ChristopherNg ? you're useless thing might be my important one ;)07:37
ChristopherNgwell those games?07:37
ChristopherNgi mean really who the hell wants them?07:37
ChristopherNgheh07:37
hobgoblin:)07:38
hobgoblinmy mum ...07:38
ChristopherNgyour mum is weird lol07:39
nonubycan someone tell me what the default font is for xubuntu 12.04, i experimetning changing and now want to changeback07:54
ChristopherNgjust check restore default08:04
laitewhy isn't apturl installed by default in xubuntu?12:06
SandJlaite, I think apturl may be excluded by default because it makes one-click-install too easy, and so is a vulnerability.12:21
olbihello12:57
olbihow I can add to Right Mouse Menu: Run as Administrator12:58
laiteolbi: you can add custom actions in file manager from Edit->configure custom actions13:02
laitethe command for this would be: gksu exo-open %f13:03
olbihmm, I shoud logout and login, than it should works?13:06

martinphoneis there any easy way to create FF profiles with xubuntu?18:39
holsteini would just use something in FF like http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles18:41
holsteinit'll work the same in xubuntu as any other linux (or should) and a plugin is likely easily available for what you are looking for18:41
martinphoneholstein kuhe geben gutes milch18:46
holsteinmartinphone: id say the cow that comes with firefox, that gives you profile support as a plugin in the browser, unless i felt like that was more appropriate for the *-offtopic channel ;)18:48
martinphoneodd, the link doesnt work and I dont find that app in the app menu18:48
holsteinmartinphone: what link? the link i gave?... i would look for *any* profile manager as an addon or plugin18:49
holsteinhttp://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles18:49
martinphoneodd indeed18:56
martinphonecould it be for being behind privoxy? all other sites work18:56
holsteinnot sure..  wouldnt sweat it, just search for a profiles manager in FF, and install it18:57
martinphoneholsteing am I a big idiot if I dont find any? I see for gmail and other...19:00
martinphoneholstein,19:00
martinphonewhat other add ons do you use with TBB?19:22
rychusjwhen using xfce-graphite theme, it changes input fields and/or the font color of the input fields.  is there anyway to change the settings so my theme doesn't affect my browser?21:17
GridCuberychusj, xubuntu uses a combination of gtk2 and gtk3 apps, if the theme you are using doesnt support both graphical systems then issues will come up21:18
rychusjok, so i need to look for themes that work with gtk2, gtk3 and xfce?  sorry, i'm new to xubuntu21:19
GridCubeif you want to try a supported theme thats darker than the default greybird i recommend you to get the git for albatross https://github.com/shimmerproject/Albatross21:20
GridCuberychusj, xfce by itself works on gtk221:21
GridCubexubuntu ships applications that are in gtk3 also21:21
GridCubeyou will need a theme that has both engines21:21
rychusjGridCub: thanks, i'll give it a shot21:23

xubuntu682Greetings everyone :)23:03
xubuntu682I am having issues with my T61 thinkpad, using 12.0423:03
GridCube!details | xubuntu68223:05
ubottuxubuntu682: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."23:05
xubuntu682OK, thanks for the response23:05
xubuntu682for that are familiar, the T61 laptop has  3 volume control buttons in the upper left hand of the keyboard area23:05
xubuntu682mute, down, up.23:05
xubuntu682They work intermittently23:06
xubuntu682Sometimes they do, sometimes they do not, and I haven't been able to figure out the pattern yet.23:06
xubuntu682I think that it might have something to do with how Pavucontrol works, but I am definitley not sure23:06
GridCubeim sorry xubuntu682 i wouldnt know, but please wait to someone with more knowledge to come23:08
xubuntu682i have searched the various forum posts, and there are problems similar to mine, although I don't think anyone has addressed it satisfactorily23:08
xubuntu682additional issues are:  Internal mic not working, does not shut down properly, significant CPU slowdown when cycling from desktop to desktop, ARANDR doesn't work when NVIDIA GPU is used, etc.23:09
xubuntu682:D23:09
xubuntu682Precise Pangolin is functional, yet broken in many, many ways.23:10
GridCubethats sad23:10
csenger41xubuntu682:  Arandr doesn't work when using ATI GPU either23:12
xubuntu682csenger41: I can live without arandr.23:13
xubuntu682I have the nvidia applet that interfaces with xconf23:13
xubuntu682but, these are all annoyances.23:13
csenger41dammit, I could help with internal mic problem :/23:27
csenger41someone please help me find out which file does this command edits:23:43
