| ponita | hi, i recently installed xubunt 12.04 on my laptop and i'm having problems with my repositories | 00:19 |
| GridCube | change them to other sources | 00:20 |
| ponita | which sources? | 00:20 |
| ponita | i tried updating with sudo apt-get update | 00:21 |
| GridCube | open synaptic, go to configuration > repositories > sources | 00:21 |
| ponita | but it can't seem to find ca.archive.ubuntu.com | 00:21 |
| GridCube | and change the location to other not to ca. | 00:22 |

| linuxshine | I just installed kubuntu on a dual boot now grub has multiple kernel entries for xubuntu why is this? | 04:20 |
| Unit193 | Do you mean the boot splash? | 04:24 |
| linuxshine | yes | 04:24 |
| Unit193 | That's quite different from a kernal entry, and that's the plymouth splash. | 04:25 |
| Unit193 | !plymouth | 04:25 |
| ubottu | Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » | 04:25 |
| linuxshine | ? | 04:25 |
| linuxshine | what? | 04:26 |
| linuxshine | I have 3 entries with 3 kernels on grub | 04:26 |
| linuxshine | I only want the latest one to show | 04:26 |
| linuxshine | its not a theme is it | 04:27 |
| linuxshine | sorry I did not mean my boot splash | 04:27 |
| linuxshine | I mean before the boot splash | 04:27 |
| kati_hathor | hello everyone | 04:29 |
| linuxshine | it comes up and has the kubuntu entry then it has 3.2.0-23 then 3.2.0-24 and 3.2.0-25 or something similar | 04:29 |
| kati_hathor | i'm having some trouble with dual monitor i was hoping you'll could help? :) | 04:32 |
| kati_hathor | i have the xrandr command working | 04:32 |
| kati_hathor | and then i added that command to the session and startup | 04:33 |
| kati_hathor | but when i log out and log back in then it doesn't run the script | 04:33 |
| kati_hathor | so when i log in i only get one monitor and have to manually run the xrandr command | 04:33 |
| kati_hathor | i tried adding it to .xprofile as well as the "session and startup" and neither option worked | 04:34 |
| linuxshine | I guess I will just delete kubuntu and update my grub | 04:34 |
| linuxshine | but it is kinda freaky | 04:34 |
| kati_hathor | any idea why the application autostart wouldn't launch my script? | 04:38 |
| Unit193 | Did you make a normal .desktop file? And try arandr? | 05:02 |
| laite | kati_hathor: did you remember to make script executable? (chmod +x myscript.sh) | 05:08 |
| laite | kati_hathor: also, I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but you can set dual screen settings to some extent (e.g. display positions) with Xfce setting editor (channel->display) | 05:18 |
| laite | Personally I found that after fighting for a quite a while with x/arandr and just set positions with editor | 05:19 |

| xubuntu659 | What distribution do you recommend for compaq presario m2000? | 06:27 |
| baizon | xubuntu :D | 06:28 |
| hobgoblin | I +1 that sentiment | 06:28 |
| xubuntu659 | but it stopped working and wouldn't boot up, so I'm trying to install windows xp, but the partition formatting is taking a long time and no, xubuntu is not on the laptop anymore, is there anything I can do with xubuntu (the hard drive is 40gb) | 06:30 |
| xubuntu659 | would ubuntu work? | 06:31 |
| baizon | :( | 06:38 |
| EatMyFriedChicke | when I try to install xubuntu there is a problem, the installer crashes | 06:38 |
| EatMyFriedChicke | can someone please help???? | 06:39 |
| EatMyFriedChicke | ?\ | 06:39 |
| baizon | what error msg do you get? | 06:39 |
| baizon | you can try install using the alternate iso | 06:40 |
| EatMyFriedChicke | hold on, I'll try to install it and tell you what it says. | 06:40 |
| hobgoblin | did you check the iso before you burnt it if you didn't torrent it? did you check the cd integrity before you started it? | 06:40 |
| EatMyFriedChicke | never mind | 07:19 |
| hobgoblin | working now is it? | 07:20 |
| EatMyFriedChicke | it's a world first | 07:20 |
| baizon | =) | 07:20 |
| EatMyFriedChicke | thanks for trying to help me | 07:21 |
| baizon | np | 07:23 |
| EatMyFriedChicke | I'm suprised you guys are still here after that long wait | 07:23 |
| hobgoblin | we were waiting for the fried chicken | 07:24 |
| EatMyFriedChicke | and now it doesn't boot up | 07:25 |
| EatMyFriedChicke | so no, it aint working, but I'll try again, I'll be brave, vigilant and I won | 07:27 |
| EatMyFriedChicke | I won't sleep until it works, unless I get bored | 07:28 |
| baizon | me watching a live stream :) | 07:28 |
| baizon | im always around :) | 07:28 |
| * hobgoblin has 2 kids waking up - I'm hiding | 07:29 | |
| baizon | :D | 07:29 |
| hobgoblin | EatMyFriedChicke: so what's happening when it doesn't boot? | 07:35 |
| EatMyFriedChicke | blackness | 07:35 |
| baizon | plymouth problem | 07:35 |
| baizon | i had to disable gfx mode | 07:35 |
| EatMyFriedChicke | no selectiom screen or anything.... just blackness | 07:36 |
| hobgoblin | EatMyFriedChicke: I'd try adding nomodeset to the boot - hit shift while booting to show grub menu if you don't see it, then 'e' to edit - add nomodeset to the kernel line after quiet splash and then I think enter to boot - but it tell's you at the bottom | 08:11 |
| baizon | yes it was the nonmodeset :) | 08:14 |
| hobgoblin | oh - did he do it some other channel ? | 08:21 |
| hobgoblin | or she of course ... | 08:21 |

| Guest39990 | I just got this laptop running again for my wife. How do I get her desktop (meaning menus and launcher icons) laid out exactly like it is on our xubuntu desktop (meaning big computer) ? both are xubuntu 12.04 | 13:39 |
| drc | ~/$USER/.config/xfce4 copy on desktop and replace on laptop (backup first, of course) | 13:40 |
| Guest39990 | drc, Backup? where's your sense of adventure. :) | 13:41 |
| Guest39990 | Although this install is about twenty minutes old, so I don't know that I'd really lose anything | 13:42 |
| drc | gone, I deleted it by accident :) | 13:42 |
| Guest39990 | This is offtopic folks, but if you want to make sure nobody can read your old data... Had drive parts make excellent wind chimes and fridge magnets. Even my dog's tail can't knock papers off my fridge now. | 13:43 |

| linuxshine | hello, I am having a slight problem with my volume control on my keyboard. The animated slider moves up but the volume dose not follow. | 14:33 |
| go8765 | Hello. ia anyway to use .ima in xubuntu? | 15:10 |
| nikolam | linuxshine, you should report it as a bug to ubuntu/xubuntu , reporting type and model of keyboard and/or also report it to manufacturer. Probably that would end up as feature request for hardware support and manufacturer could contribute some code to upstream linux for that hardware. | 16:05 |
| nikolam | or to specific part of a distribution (upstream debian probably) | 16:06 |
| nikolam | It more sounds like specific bug of that software component not actually sliding volume. | 16:06 |
| Unit193 | Or could be set to change the volume of something other than default, but I don't have that kind of keyboard, I just scroll over the icon. | 16:07 |
| nikolam | Yes it should first identify what software component is sliding volume and what it is targeting for that sound hardware | 16:10 |
| nikolam | therefore reporting bug with details is the first step anyway | 16:11 |
| TrivialUser | Hello, everyone! When I enter the system it doesn't allow me to choose user. It automatically enters as the first one. How can I fix it? | 16:23 |

| TrivialUser | OK. I checked it. There actually is a line for autologin. Will removing it be enough? | 16:27 |
| Unit193 | Yep. | 16:29 |

| Unit193 | Either I don't get what you're asking, or that is where you select it. | 18:03 |
| mikefarr | There is has several tabs to choose from - style - icon, etc. - you use to be able to pick a them which would change all that at once | 18:05 |
| mikefarr | pick a theme | 18:06 |
| mikefarr | i was hoping to pick the theme like with ubuntu that changed everything like the orange one - but with xubuntu it has this ugly blue cloudy looking theme that I just cant do much with | 18:11 |

| monke | Hi | 21:39 |
| monke | i juts installed xubuntu 11.10 but i have troubles with xfce-panel, when i traslate it in spanish, everything is traslated except the top of the menu (Applications menu and places), that is never traslated into any languages just english, anubody can help me?) | 21:41 |
| knome | monke, right-click the menus, select properties | 21:41 |
| knome | monke, you're able to change the name there | 21:41 |
| knome | monke, i think the menu should get a correct name if you add the item to panel after changing the language, but i'm not completely sure | 21:42 |
| mimoid | I am using the alternative install for 64bit xubuntu. With advanced options, I can choose 'Free Software only'. This is attractive, however I do not know what it means. What non-free software beyond firmware does xubuntu install by default? | 21:42 |
| GridCube | knome, ^ | 21:43 |
| monke | well, i did what you told me but when i want to add a item the item is shown in spanish but then when is added it doesnt translate | 21:43 |
| monke | xD | 21:43 |
| monke | its really strange | 21:44 |
| knome | monke, yes, that's because the software will keep your configuration safe | 21:44 |
| knome | monke, it basically expects you to want to keep the name | 21:44 |
| knome | mimoid (+GridCube): i'm not completely sure if any. you can enable the repositories later if you need to, though | 21:45 |
| knome | mimoid, i'm thinking mp3 support, (better) flash support, ... | 21:45 |
| knome | mimoid, but those aren't installed by default | 21:45 |
| monke | knome: i think you dont understand me ^^ , let me tralstate it in spanish and i come back and i show you and screenshot. With that you will undestand what i mean ok? | 21:45 |
| knome | monke, i suppose i understand, but ok. | 21:45 |
| mimoid | knome: I'll choose free software only to see, and enable repos later if needed. it seems safe enough. | 21:45 |
| knome | mimoid, yep, it's not locking you out of anything. | 21:46 |
| mimoid | thanks knome | 21:46 |
| mimoid | what i needed to hear | 21:46 |
| knome | mimoid, if something very basic doesn't work, just install the xubuntu-desktop metapackage | 21:46 |
| knome | mimoid, (while that should be installed, but still) | 21:46 |
| knome | mimoid, or first enable the non-free repositories and then (re)install | 21:46 |
| mimoid | okay | 21:49 |
| monke | knome: im back, im uploading the image | 21:52 |
| monke | knome: see the diffrence between the top menu and the expanded menu => http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/338/xfcepanel.png/ | 21:53 |
| knome | monke, looks like some of the items aren't translated in spanish | 21:55 |
| monke | knome: i was trying to find the configuration file, but in the configuration file everything looks good, all the traslates are there | 21:55 |
| knome | monke, if you can, check if the problem exists in 12.04, and if it does, file a bug | 21:57 |
| monke | knome: the item configuration file for Application menu is the next one => applicationsmenu.desktop | 21:57 |
| monke | knome: mm ok, but that are bad news for me beacue i already tried xubutnu 12.04 and it didnt give me good feeling, there are stuff that doenst recognize is my laoptop | 21:58 |
| monke | knome: where i can report that bug? | 21:59 |
| knome | monke, don't report it if it doesn't appear in 11.10 | 21:59 |
| knome | er, in 12.04 | 21:59 |
| monke | knome but why i have to try in 12.04 if i want to use 11.10? its doenst have sense xD | 22:00 |
| knome | monke, if the bug doesn't exist in 12.04, it most probably won't be fixed. that's why | 22:00 |
| knome | monke, if it exists in 12.04, it will be fixed in SRU's | 22:01 |
| monke | knome: well ok thnks | 22:01 |

| f3e | Google wasn't very willing to give me the answer.... | 22:42 |
| knome | default password in encryption? nothing, it's what you set | 22:43 |
| Unit193 | As in, user password without home/drive encryption? | 22:43 |
| Unit193 | I'm guessing he's asking hash style. | 22:43 |
| f3e | User password | 22:44 |
| f3e | Well, i have encrypted the home folder though.. | 22:46 |
| knome | f3e, that would be the user password then. | 22:54 |
| knome | f3e, or, if you mean how the password is stored, i'd ask #ubuntu (i don't know) | 22:55 |
| * knome is probably a bit tired... | 22:55 | |
| f3e | Unfortunately the last one. I'll ask #ubuntu :) Thanks for the help! | 22:56 |

| GridCube | ineuw, you can delete old non used kernels using synaptic | 23:26 |
| ineuw | I deleted the old kernels. It's after deletion and updating grub that they are still listed. | 23:26 |
| GridCube | that shouldnt happen | 23:27 |
| ineuw | The packages are gone - checked synaptic, but the listing is there | 23:27 |
| GridCube | you did sudo update-grub? | 23:27 |
| ineuw | I know. yes, yesterday but will do it again now. | 23:27 |
| ineuw | Did it. The terminal lists only the latest kernel. I better re-boot and see. later . . . | 23:30 |
