[00:28] <m1chael> im trying to install xubuntu 12.04 but im getting an error  that says something like gfxboot not a com32r image ... i burned t he iso from xfcburn in xubuntu on another computer
[00:43] <Unit193> That sounds like a bad burn, or a corrupt ISO.
[09:25] <Gagarix> Hey folks :) I have a question: I've been trying to install the latest xubuntu from a liveCD but for some reason it doesn't show my /dev/sda1 under available drives. I've googled a bit but can't seem to find anything relevant. Can anyone offer any insight ?
[09:27] <SandJ> /dev/sda1 would be the first partition on the first hard drive.  So, silly questions: do you have a hard drive and has it already got a formatted partition on it?
[09:27] <Gagarix> Considering I've been using it for the past couple of years, yes.
[09:28] <SandJ> Just checking ... you never know!
[09:28] <Gagarix> Debian installer detects it just fine, but xubuntu installer only shows /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1
[09:28] <Gagarix> -.-;
[09:28] <Gagarix> It's been driving me up the wall for the past couple of hours
[09:29] <SandJ> So you have got to the point where it is asking where to install Xubuntu and you were expecting it to say "You have a partition on here, what do you want me to do with it?" and it is saying it can see hard drives 2 and 3.
[09:30] <Gagarix> One sec :)
[09:30] <SandJ> At this point I would boot off the LiveCd and run GParted to see exactly what that tells me.
[09:32] <Gagarix> I apologise, I had a phonecall.
[09:33] <Gagarix> Gparted reports the device as being present and bootable and having one NTFS partition on it (Windows 7)
[09:35] <SandJ> So in the top right it says /dev/sda and when you click on it is there /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc ?
[09:36] <Gagarix> aye, detects all three hard drives
[09:37] <SandJ> So the Xubuntu installer is ignoring your 1st hard drive for some reason, and offering to install on just the other 2.
[09:37] <Gagarix> yes
[09:38] <Gagarix> :/
[09:39] <andythenoob> hi everyone, I have a question for you: Trying to install xubuntu on a new netbook (Asus 1225b) , a boot from the live cd gets me in but when trying to connect to the wireless, the ssid is seen and my password can be entered but the connect button is greyed out and unusable, therefore the password cannot ever be entered for the access point. I tried another distro same problem but i really want to use xubuntu. Wireless
[09:39] <andythenoob> card is a broadcom device, but it sees the ssid ok, its just this inability to enter the wifi pwd. Any clues please?
[09:41] <SandJ> Gagarix, does it look as though that /dev/sda1 partition could be compressed to make room for the Xubuntu installation?  For example, does it need a defrag to clear the end of the partition?
[09:41] <Gagarix> My intention was actually to purge the sda1
[09:41] <hobgoblin> I wonder if there are already 4 partitions on sda - if that's the case it won't see it
[09:41] <Gagarix> And install only xubuntu
[09:42] <Gagarix> hobgoblin: Only one partition
[09:44] <SandJ> Gagarix, do you choose the "Do something else" option which allows you to be very specific about where to install Xubuntu.  I suspect the installer will be helpful and when you choose "install alongside Windows" will see the 2nd drive and kindly propose to do that.
[09:44] <Gagarix> One sec.
[09:44] <Gagarix> Let me see what it says :)
[09:45] <SandJ> Someone with the same problem:  http://ubuntu.5.n6.nabble.com/dual-boot-problem-td4973464.html
[09:45] <hobgoblin> sounds a but odd to me if you only have one partition
[09:46] <Gagarix> heh, the thing is, I don't want to dual-boot x)
[09:46] <SandJ> In that ace, trash the partition in GParted.
[09:46] <SandJ> In that case, trash the partition in GParted.
[09:46] <Gagarix> geez louise, my dvd drive is so slow sometimes -.-;
[09:46] <SandJ> IF YOU WANT IT WIPED, that is.
[09:46] <well_laid_lawn> I think /home on it's own partition is a good idea
[09:47] <hobgoblin> I used to
[09:48] <SandJ> andythenoob: you say "my password can be entered but the connect button is greyed out and unusable, therefore the password cannot ever be entered" which is ambiguous.
[09:48] <Gagarix> whoa :o
[09:48] <Gagarix> this is confusing o.o
[09:48] <Gagarix> I select "Something else"
[09:48] <Gagarix> click continue
[09:48] <Gagarix> and still only /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc :s
[09:49] <Gagarix> what's more, the installer says that this computer has no OS installed o.o
[09:50] <SandJ> Well, that certainly qualifies as "Something else" !
[09:50] <Gagarix> You don't say xD
[09:50] <Gagarix> let's see ... what if I nuke the ntfs partition completely and leave the disk unpartitioned ?
[09:51] <SandJ> Stupid question first: you are happy to lose all its content forever?
[09:51] <Gagarix> I've got nothing worth saving there. :)
[09:51] <Gagarix> Everything worth saving has been backed up.
[09:51] <andythenoob> sandj : you are right, I should be more precise! :-) in essence when I connect to the access point the password entry box pops up and i can type the pwd into the dialogue box but the connect button greyed out and unable to click on.
[09:51] <SandJ> Gagarix, then go for it.  Let's see if there's some reason Xubuntu cannot see that physical device properly.
[09:52] <Gagarix> 'kay
[09:53] <Gagarix> Hrmpf -.-; still doesn't detect sda
[09:54] <Gagarix> only sdb and sdc :/
[09:56] <Gagarix> Think it could be bios-related settings about the hard drive ?
[09:56] <SandJ> Possibly, or time to do a Google search for "ubuntu [drive make] [drive model]"
[09:58] <Gagarix> uh
[09:58] <Gagarix> that's a good question xD i have no idea which one it is
[09:58] <Gagarix> I'll try changing a few things in bios first
[09:59] <SandJ> With any luck the BIOS screen will tell you the drive model number.
[09:59] <Gagarix> Think it might have anything to do with access mode ? :3
[10:00] <Gagarix> (Available options: CHS/LBA/Large/Auto)
[10:04] <hobgoblin> Gagarix: I use auto for all my drives
[10:05] <hobgoblin> does this machine use efi or gpt or something other than mbr - I get confused by the new ones
[10:06] <Gagarix> It's a P4 :P
[10:06] <hobgoblin> ok - that'll be no then :)
[10:06] <Gagarix> brb phone -.-;
[10:06] <hobgoblin> did you use usb or cd to run the installer
[10:07] <Gagarix> cd
[10:07] <Gagarix> can't boot from usb for some reason -.-;
[10:07] <hobgoblin> oh ok
[10:10] <Gagarix> Hm
[10:10] <Gagarix> *boots other pc*
[10:11] <lukeOK> hi guys
[10:12] <lukeOK> knome today i've installed emerald, compiz, the libraries of emerald
[10:12] <lukeOK> remember?
[10:13] <lukeOK> i typed in the terminal compiz --replace to active compiz
[10:13] <lukeOK> but the terminal show me a error
[10:14] <lukeOK> something about decorator
[10:15] <lukeOK> solution?
[10:15] <andythenoob> anyone any clues on why the connect button in a wifi password entry dialogue box would be greyed out and inoperative? (access point itself functioning well)
[10:17] <lukeOK> i don't know
[10:20] <Gagarix> Hm, I'm going to try the alternate xubuntu CD, see if that helps.
[10:21] <hobgoblin> good luck Gagarix
[10:21] <SandJ> andythenoob: I've been struggling to reproduce the behaviour on my wifi netbook.
[10:21] <Gagarix> Lucky I have another computer with a burner :)
[10:21] <Gagarix> And a netbook (on which I am now)
[10:23] <andythenoob> SandJ, i cant find anything on google either...its frustrating as i want to use xubuntu (any linux) rather than M$
[10:23] <SandJ> andythenoob: the only way I can reproduce it is by entering a password that is not of the right length - which means an incorrect password.
[10:24] <SandJ> andythenoob: what is the wireless security, and how long is the password?
[10:25] <andythenoob> its wpa & wpa2 personal , pwd length is 9 characters, mixture of letters and numbers
[10:29] <andythenoob> SandJ, odd thing is I'm using my xubuntu desktop currently, its specific to the netbook. I have also created a usb drive of the live cd, can boot on a toshiba laptop and all seems to be ok! Something perhaps in the netbook config or the broadcom card?
[10:30] <Gagarix> Okay, burning the alternate cd now >.>
[10:30]  * Gagarix bashes her head against the wall >.<
[10:43] <szikael> i have 2 comp connected via ssh - is there an option to see what is going on  on terminal 1 on bouth comp, in short ( i need to share terminal)
[10:50] <shpank> szikael: screen -x
[10:51] <szikael> what about Shelr , i just found something
[10:59] <Gagarix> let's see if alternate install cd sees my hard drive -.-;
[11:01] <Gagarix> nope :/
[11:02] <Gagarix> meh, I'm going to bed. Thanks for all the help! *waves*
[11:06] <cypher-neo> How is the hard drive mounted Gagarix?
[11:07] <knome> cypher-neo, he's gone
[11:08] <Beginner> Hi all
[11:09] <Beginner> anyone online?
[11:10] <astraljava> Beginner: Do you have a support question? This is not a general chit-chat channel, so if you have a problem or a question, just go and ask, and whoever's really watching, _may_ reply.
[11:10] <cypher-neo> Beginner, No, no one is online...
[11:10] <cypher-neo> Beginner, lol
[11:10] <cypher-neo> Beginner, Need help?
[11:10] <Beginner> oh
[11:10] <Beginner> yes i have question
[11:11] <astraljava> Ok, let us know. :)
[11:11] <SandJ> Well?  What is your question?
[11:11] <Beginner> How to share Xubuntu folders with win 7
[11:11] <Beginner> I cant make it work
[11:11] <Beginner> I use samba
[11:12] <Beginner> I can c all the shres in win7 but cant login
[11:12] <Beginner> shares
[11:12] <cypher-neo> You're trying to see folders in Win7?
[11:12] <Beginner> No i c them, but i want to open them
[11:13] <Beginner> it says login.. n when i try to ligin it says wrong user or password
[11:13] <astraljava> Beginner: Have you followed the guides available on help.ubuntu.com for that?
[11:13] <Beginner> but its right user n password i use
[11:13] <Beginner> yes i have
[11:14] <astraljava> Beginner: Ok, and you've set the password for a samba user with `sudo smbpasswd -a username`?
[11:14] <cypher-neo> Beginner, Check out this thread... it has all the possible fixes you can use to get samba and Win7 working http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169149
[11:14] <Beginner> oh no i havent.. i add the user in Samba settings
[11:15] <Beginner> Samba client settings
[11:15] <astraljava> Beginner: Client isn't enough, you have to set the password at the server side.
[11:16] <astraljava> Beginner: Please double-check the guide at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaServerGuide
[11:16] <Beginner> aha oki... Cypher thanx 4 the guide.. ill look at it :)
[11:16] <Beginner> Ty astraljava ill look at it also now
[11:16] <astraljava> Sure no problem.
[11:22] <Beginner> one question.. all the config in Ubuntu is same as in Xubuntu right??? I mean i can use the Ubuntu guides for my Xubuntu?
[11:27] <astraljava> Beginner: Not all. When applications/services have their own config files, then most likely yes. But if they have some system-wide settings (gconf/gsettings etc.) then there can be differences.
[11:27] <astraljava> Beginner: In the samba case, you should be fine.
[11:27] <astraljava> Beginner: You can always double-check here if you are unsure.
[11:28] <astraljava> Beginner: Also, are you aware of our mailing list? Sometimes the channel can be quiet, and help can be achieved better on xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com, you can go and subscribe to it at http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
[11:30] <Beginner> Oh.. i didnt know that.. thanks for you help
[11:30] <Beginner> ^^
[12:03] <HerbY_NL> Hello everybody. I'm new at xubuntu (not at linux/ubuntu). When I open my browser on desktop 1 I'd like it to stay there. If however I open a url in thunderbird (on desktop 2) then my browser will move to desktop 2 as well. Is there a way to make it stick to desktop 1. I've never had this problem with ubuntu or mint.
[12:05] <hobgoblin> 2 secs HerbY_NL
[12:06] <SkippersBoss> not only thunderbird :-(
[12:06] <hobgoblin> settings - settings manager - window manager tweaks, Focus tab - switch to windows workspace
[12:06] <hobgoblin> HerbY_NL: ^^ will do it
[12:07] <hobgoblin> SkippersBoss: for anything ;) as far as I can tell
[12:09] <SkippersBoss> ah missed that setting :-)
[12:09] <hobgoblin> so did I for ages ...
[12:09] <SkippersBoss> A bloke can't know everything lol thx
[12:09] <hobgoblin> :)
[12:18] <HerbY_NL> do you need to restart lightdm to make the tweaks work?
[12:18] <HerbY_NL> hobgoblin: do you need to restart lightdm to make the tweaks work?
[12:18] <hobgoblin> nope
[12:19] <HerbY_NL> then I need to change my system language to english to make sure  I change the right settings :-)
[12:19] <hobgoblin> HerbY_NL: hang on - I'll get a screenshot :)
[12:22] <hobgoblin> HerbY_NL: http://imgur.com/a/r5gR3
[12:22] <hobgoblin> icons should be the similar :)
[12:24] <HerbY_NL> hobgoblin: thnx very much. I wasn't looking in the tweaks but regular window manager. It's working now. thnx again.
[12:24] <hobgoblin> welcome
[12:29] <HerbY_NL> One other small anoyance. For some reason the system won't remember that I want google-chrome as my default browser. I even removed Firefox but to no avail.
[12:30] <hobgoblin> well I'd assume that to be in preferred apps - but I've never changed it
[12:31] <holstein> HerbY_NL: try http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/set-the-default-browser-on-ubuntu-from-the-command-line/
[12:31] <holstein> sudo update-alternatives –config x-www-browser
[12:35] <hobgoblin> holstein: fails should be --config
[12:36] <HerbY_NL> holstein: with --config... I get the message /usr/bin/google-chrome, nothing to configure. But when I reboot chrome isn't the default anymore.
[12:36] <holstein> HerbY_NL: that command has worked for me in XFCE and in openbo
[12:37] <holstein> hobgoblin: maybe thats just a copy/paste error on the site
[12:37] <HerbY_NL> I'll reboot now and see what happens.
[12:38] <hobgoblin> possibly - I coped it from the site - fails :)
[12:44] <HerbY_NL> holstein: after reboot I still get "No application selected" in the browser setting (settings - settings manager - default applications)
[12:46] <HerbY_NL> holstein: and your update-alternatives gives the same message again (nothing to configure)

[14:15] <Papa_Smurf>  I want to change my screen resolution to another that does not appear doing xrand but it is supported, how can i do that? THANKS!!
[14:27] <SkippersBoss> Papa_Smurf: /define/not supported.
[14:27] <SkippersBoss> You can easily add modes to xrandr
[14:57] <donmatas> Hi
[14:57] <donmatas> I am new in Xubuntu
[14:58] <donmatas> it is posible to browse in thunar by tabs?
[14:59] <donmatas> I mean, opening new folders in the same window as a tab not in a new window like I do in nautilus?
[15:02] <knome> donmatas, no
[15:02] <donmatas> really?
[15:02] <donmatas> that is pitty... :(
[15:03] <knome> donmatas, yes, i'm serious. if you want a tabbed file browser, use another one
[15:03] <donmatas> knome: do you think that is a good idea to replace thunar with nautilus?
[15:04] <knome> well, nautilus will "steal" your desktop, unless you run it with --no-desktop (or sth like that, can't exactly remember)
[15:04] <knome> nautilus is much heavier though, so it's up to you if you want to use that much resources for a file manager
[15:08] <donmatas> knome: I have no problems with resources, so I won't have any trouble if I replace thunar?
[15:10] <knome> donmatas, as i said, nautilus will steal the desktop, unless you run it with --no-desktop. other than that, there shouldn't be problems, though i'm not aware if there is some problems with default file manager assigning (especially if desktop is controlled by xfdesktop)
[15:11] <SandJ> I settled on PCManFM which supports tabs.
[15:12] <SandJ> But I use PCManFM because it also supports opening files as root and bookmarks.
[15:59] <xubuntu065> My install has been saying Installing system with an empty progress bar for around 30 minutes now using wubi installer, anyone know what's up with it?
[16:04] <xubuntu065> My install has been saying Installing system with an empty progress bar for around 30 minutes now using wubi installer, anyone know what's up with it?
[16:16] <donmatas> thanks knome. I think that I will let the system as it is.
[16:21] <hobgoblin> xubuntu065: it takes time for it to download and install the packages.
[17:33] <bekor> hi i am using ubuntu 12.04 with xfce and wondering about compz effects and getting the default dock to be gone from under cairo dock
[17:49] <martinphone> in xubuntu, transmission window cannot be seen: I can see the icon in the upper desktop bar, but when I click on it, a couple of = appear around "transmission", its not the first time it happens
[18:18] <astraljava> martinphone: Is this on which release?
[18:36] <martinphone> 12.04 astraljava
[18:39] <astraljava> martinphone: Right. Can you try starting the app from terminal, let's see whether it prints anything to stdout.
[18:42] <martinphone> astraljava, what command? transmission in shell or alt+f2 does nothing
[18:45] <astraljava> martinphone: Try `transmission-gtk`.
[18:46] <martinphone> no error messages, just couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-dlGPcW/pkcs11: No such file or directory
[18:47] <martinphone> but the client loads and downloads
[18:50] <astraljava> And you can now see the window?
[18:52] <martinphone> yes
[18:52] <martinphone> im sorry i cannot be more specific
[18:56] <astraljava> It's fine, there are sometimes bugs that are hard to reproduce.
[19:20] <brayshakes> I'm looking for resources to customize the xubuntu distro to contain base packages according to my specifications, e.g the default installation contains chromium rather than firefox and codeblocks editor by default.
[19:25] <astraljava> brayshakes: You could start at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization/
[19:33] <brayshakes> yep. That is it.
[19:33] <brayshakes> Thank you.
[19:45] <martinphone> xubuntu 12.04 wanting to play simcity 2000, is wine the only way to go?
[19:46] <Unit193> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=504 Well, could do virtualbox. :P
[19:47] <knome> i'm wondering if that would run under dosbox
[19:47] <knome> what's the non-win95 version? 3.1?
[19:48] <knome> there was a tutorial for installing 3.x in dosbox, and it worked
[19:48] <knome> of course, you need to have the files for that too..
[19:48] <genii-around> You can run entire 3.1 or 3.11 under dosbox, win95 I'm not so sure
[21:15] <ball> Does Xubuntu use gdm?
[21:15] <Unit193> Not in later ones, uses lightdm.
[21:16] <ball> Is there an easy way to tell which is installed?
[21:17] <genii-around> ps aux| grep dm
[21:18] <GridCube> that works
[21:18] <xubuntu903> hello, i recently installed xubuntu and am have multiple problems with the grub boot loader. i can no longer boot windows 7, when i make the attempt i go into grub rescue.
[21:19] <SkippersBoss> xubuntu903: and that is a problem ?? I don't see it
[21:19] <SkippersBoss> Oops sorry
[21:20] <Unit193> Joking aside, run sudo os-prober   from the terminal.
[21:20] <GridCube> or simply sudo update-grub
[21:20] <xubuntu903> lol, it acually woundt be a problem except i also cannot update xubuntu or access my media files, and if i get off the internet xubunto freezes
[21:21] <xubuntu903> i cannot prob as of yesterday
[21:21] <GridCube> xubuntu903, then you have other problems, not xubuntu related, probably a faulty disk
[21:22] <xubuntu903> im updatin grub right now
[21:23] <xubuntu903> Generating grub.cfg ... Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.4.0-5-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.4.0-5-generic Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin Found Windows Recovery Environment (loader) on /dev/sda1 Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda2 done
[21:23] <xubuntu903> is that normal (win 7 (loader)
[21:24] <SkippersBoss> yes
[21:26] <SkippersBoss> but i am NOT a grub expert
[21:49] <xubuntu350> hello
[21:51] <xubuntu350> i am a xubuntu noob and I just loaded a cd and don't know how to access the files on it. how do i read it and copy the files?
[21:51] <Unit193> You run the installer, how did you make the CD?
[21:52] <xubuntu350> nah. i loaded xubuntu an am running it as my primary OS. I have a cd rom that has school tutorial files on it and want to access the optical drive.
[21:53] <Unit193> Should pull up a window for you, but if not, you should see it on the side of thunar.
[21:53] <xubuntu350> k brb
[21:53] <xubuntu350> thnx
[21:54] <xubuntu350> k opened thunar file mngr all i see is some default folders on the left no optical drive listed
[21:57] <xubuntu350> can assume my optical drive works that's how i loaded xubuntu, just cant see it
[21:57] <GridCube> xubuntu350, how you define "see"
[21:58] <GridCube> there is no way to "see" the drive if its empty
[21:58] <Unit193> You could manually mount...
[21:58] <GridCube> you put a cd on the drive and it should automount
[21:58] <xubuntu350> well i am hopelessly gui-oriented... would like instrux on manually mounting ...through terminal right?
[21:58] <xubuntu350> doesn't automount
[21:59] <Unit193> That's weird that it doesn't.
[21:59] <xubuntu350> so in thunar after loading the cd i dont see any new folders that's what i mean by dont see it
[22:01] <SkippersBoss> unless he 's got a setting to NOT automount
[22:01] <xubuntu350> sorry got a call afk

[22:48] <c_smith> Hi, I'm trying to get Gmusicbrowser to recognize my media keys (Fn+F11, FN+F12, etc.) and I am having trouble doing so. I can get these keys to work out of the box in Rhythmbox, but I'd like to get this working in Gmusicbrowser and hopefully kick using Rhythmbox for playing music.
[22:48] <c_smith> is there anything I can try?
[22:48] <c_smith> like I said, the keys aren't recognized by gmusicbrowser. but they work.
[22:48] <Sysi> if they work in rhythmbox, you should need just enable right plugin in gmb settings
[22:49] <c_smith> hmmm, let me check that and see if that works.
[22:50] <c_smith> I'm getting the feeling the rhythmbox plugin that is handling these keys is "MediaServer2 D-Bus interface"
[22:50] <c_smith> would that be accurate?
[22:51] <xubuntu044> hi guys im back, im still having no luck running windows from grub
[22:52] <c_smith> it's either that, or MPRIS, which doesn't seem to do a thing in gmusicbrowser.
[22:52] <xubuntu044> bassically i run windows 7  and end up in grub rescue
[22:53] <xubuntu044> all of my files aparently still exist, but they are in a backup drive (VIRTUAL becasuse i reinstalled windows)
[22:53] <c_smith> Sysi, do you know if the MediaServer2 D-Bus Interface has a plugin for Gmusicbrowser? that's what seems to be enabling me to use my media keys with Rhythmbox.
[22:53] <xubuntu044> has anyone experienced this before?
[22:54] <Sysi> c_smith: mpris dbus -something should be available in gmb settings/plugins
[22:54] <c_smith> mpris doesn't seem to do a thing for my issue.
[22:55] <Sysi> you may need to restart gmb, make sure gnome-settings-daemon is running
[22:55] <xubuntu044> are there any simplified bootloaders other than grub anyone would recomend?
[22:55] <Sysi> no
[22:56] <c_smith> I don't know that gnome-settings-daemon is installed.
[22:56] <c_smith> and it is.
[22:56] <Sysi> it makes media keys work in rhythmbox, at least did for me
[22:57] <Sysi> and IIRC did that for GMB too
[22:57] <xubuntu044> i cant even run this distro without being on the internet (it freezes without it) and i cannot update xubuntu
[22:57] <c_smith> Sysi, how would I go about starting the gnome-settings-daemon?
[22:57] <c_smith> same way as with every other daemon?
[22:57] <Sysi> yes, just run it if it isn't running already
[22:58] <xubuntu044> how can i uninstall grub?
[22:58] <Sysi> you should tick "run gnome services on startup" in session settings though
[22:58] <c_smith> alright, and is there a program to check what daemons are running?
[22:58] <c_smith> looks like it's running.
[22:58] <c_smith> task manager ftw.
[23:00] <c_smith> if it helps, the "gnome-mmkeys" says "no signal with name 'MediaPlayerKeyPressed' is exported in object '/org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/MediaKeys'" if that helps
[23:00] <c_smith> might mean something there.
[23:02] <c_smith> does that give any useful info?
[23:05] <c_smith> *slaps self on head* when I was looking in the plugins, I should have been setting the shortcuts.....
[23:06] <c_smith> thanks for trying to help.
[23:07] <xubuntu044> can anyone help me with grub and dual booting?
[23:14] <xubuntu044> anyone familiar with grub rescue?
[23:57] <ball> Is it possible to use xdm with Xubuntu instead of gdm?
