Unit193How did you end up doing that??  Try the recovery mode, see if you can use that.02:06
pablo_hello everyone. Quick question02:47
pablo_I just installed xubuntu alongside win7. I had win7 activated with the extreme loader. Now the dual boot menu presents me the option to boot to Win7 or to Win Vista. Which one should I choose? I don't know hot the loader works02:47
holsteinif it were me, i would just try both02:48
pablo_couldn't I run the risk of losing Win's activation or something?02:49
holsteini have a machine that grub sees "windows 7" and "windows vista loader" ...one is the OS, and one is a recovery partition02:49
holsteinpablo_: i have no idea02:49
pablo_oh... the vista must be a recovery patition, then02:49
holsteinpablo_: i wouldnt think so... i would think you would run the risk of seeing a recovery partition startup02:49
pablo_this computer came with win vista and has a recovery disk02:49
pablo_thank you so very much. I'm really new to this02:50
holsteinproblem is, theres no one that can tell you what is what there... maye who ever maintains "exrtreme loader", whatever that is02:50
holsteinpablo_: OIC.. thats a way of getting around that license?02:51
holsteinpablo_: i cant help with that.. you should pay for windows02:51
holsteincant/wont02:51
pablo_thanks02:51

xwalkHello. Is there a way to edit the 50-synaptics.conf file in xorg.conf.d to disable the ClickPad feature of a touchpad device? I'm using awesome and can't seem to find out the right way to do it.08:46
Sysixwalk: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/4282/disabling-touchpad-taptoclick-with-gsynaptics-nb-the-caveat/08:51
Sysixwalk: there are couple of line in the bottom, create touchpad.sh, set it to be executable and add to autostart08:52
xwalkSysi: Thanks for that.08:56
Spike29-!- Spike2909:01
xwalkSysi: That definitely worked, but is there any reason why adding the Option "ClickPad" "false" line to the 50-synaptics.conf file wasn't working?09:02
xwalkSysi: It may be ignorance on my part, but it was to my understanding that editing that file would do the trick.09:02
Sysixwalk: IIRC that file was for HAL that isn't used anymore09:03
Sysibut I've never wanted to touch anything near xorg.conf and I haven't used synaptics touchpad in a while09:04
xwalkSysi: I see. I think I remember reading something about that while I was in the xorg.conf man page yesterday now.09:04

Os_Maleusanybody using here kmail and knowing how to change the "User-Agent"-entry there?10:36
Os_MaleusI found a description that says the following: "Select Settings | Configure KMail ... Composer ... Headers tab ... Click on New ... Type the header's name in the Name: field ... To overwrite the "User-Agent:" header, type "User-Agent", for example ... Type the desired value in the Value: field ... Click OK"10:36
Os_Maleusbut if I follow it, closing the window for the settings over "Apply" and "OK", the changes are in fact not taken over.10:37
knomeOs_Maleus, is that a kde app? maybe try #kubuntu10:37
Os_Maleusknome: thanks! ... actually, You are right.10:38
knomenot that it's completely offtopic here, but most of us don't know kde apps10:38

Lord`SaladinI just upgraded to Xubuntu 12.04 yesterday and ever since whenever I make a media player go full screen, my panels stay on top of the video. Is there any way to fix this besides setting my panels to auto-hide?16:27
MathsterkLord`Saladin: tried pressing somewhere else than the panels in fullscreen?16:29
SandJLord`Saladin - last night I viewed a movie in Xubuntu 12.04 for the first time.  I used Parole to watch it full screen.  The video was over the panels and they are not set to auto-hide.  So what you are getting is not normal behaviour.16:30
Lord`SaladinMathsterk, SandJ: Huh, I just tried again, using Parole and then VLC (which I was using before) and the panels are no longer displaying. Weird.16:32
Lord`SaladinGood, but weird.16:32
Lord`SaladinThanks for the help anyway. :)16:32
