| xubuntu212 | i am trying to install xubuntu 12.0 on an old machine. when i get past the part where it asks for the keyboard format, it gives me an error that the operating system can't finish the install. | 01:50 |

| chris__ | hello all, I'm new to xubuntu, and linux in general | 02:24 |
| chris__ | after reading the documentation, I'm having some trouble changing my desktop theme. can anyone help? | 02:25 |
| Unit193 | Menu > Settings > Settings Manager > Appearance OR Window Manager | 02:30 |
| Unit193 | Though, the shimmer themes will be best/most compatible. | 02:30 |
| chris__ | right, but when I dl a theme from http://xfce-look.org/ and place it in my user > share > themes folder, it doesn't show up in the Appearance window | 02:34 |
| Unit193 | Extracted I'd guess? It *generally* should, but you may as well extract it to ~/.themes/ since that's local. | 02:36 |
| chris__ | I'm not sure what to extract, there are no zipped files that I'm looking at. All the folders in my themes folder lead to a secondary folder like "xfce-notify-4.0" or "gtk-2.0" and then a plain text document labeled "gtkrc" | 02:40 |

| Mathsterk | tell us what your problem is :P | 11:12 |
| PrivateReese | ok as I sayd i got multiple problems | 11:12 |
| PrivateReese | I could not select the build in soundcard as the default one | 11:13 |
| PrivateReese | so i plays some sound but i cant controll it over the FN Keys | 11:13 |
| PrivateReese | as well as i would want to disable enable wlan and adjust the brightness of the screen | 11:14 |
| PrivateReese | for screen brightness i know a workaround for my graphics card but i thought that you might have some workaround for everything | 11:14 |
| PrivateReese | as well as there is some bug controlling the ubuntu software center with the mouse, if i want to switch the center its just going somewhere else | 11:15 |
| Dice | http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.fi/2012/05/fix-adjust-sound-with-multimedia-keys.html | 11:19 |
| PrivateReese | thanks for this | 11:22 |

| PrivateReese | because i am not able to rename the device | 11:22 |
| PrivateReese | seems that i can handle all the problems mention above now | 11:29 |

| drc | Anyone (in the US, that is) been able to get the Olympics Live on http://www.nbcolympics.com to work under Xubuntu and FF ? Yes I do have one the required cable subscriptions, and it works fine under Windows and SalixOS. | 13:14 |
| drc | Actually, it does not work with Xubuntu and FF, Chromium or Midori...so I and guessing it's not strictly a FF issue. | 13:18 |
| mongy | flash ? | 13:22 |
| drc | mongy, Not sure...flash is installed and working...what happens is that I can complete the verification process but it soes not appear to work, afterwards the screen returns to the start verification process page insteas of the "you're ready to watch" page. | 13:30 |
| drc | the same version of flash and FF are used in SalixOS...I'm not sure what version of flash the windows machine is using (and can't check right now) | 13:31 |
| drc | any way, I'm going to run Ubuntu itself now, to see what happens...it is a *buntu thing. | 13:32 |
| drc | OK,...the NBC Olympics thing happens under Ubuntu as well...guess it's a *buntu problem :( | 13:43 |
| PrivateReese | hey somebody here who can tell my why using this script http://blog.mazesloup.fr/index.php/post/2011/10/12/dell-xps-l702x-switching-touchpad-onoff just switches the led light on the touchpad off/on not the touchpad itself? | 13:54 |
| spktkpkt | hi...can someone point me to a faq/wiki that explains how to run a script on usb key plug? | 14:03 |
| spktkpkt | i read about udev, but i need a possibility that doesn't depend on a vendor id or similar, it must work for every usb key | 14:04 |
| spktkpkt | maybe the automount mechanism of thunar can handle this/can expanded to do that? | 14:05 |
| spktkpkt | i'll use udev, too...if someone can give me a hint on how to make a rule that work for every usb device (any kind of usb storage) | 14:07 |

| mbze430 | anyone alive? | 18:09 |
| mbze430 | need help | 18:09 |
| baizon | :) | 18:10 |
| mbze430 | I am having the dreaded Fn key not working problem... | 18:10 |
| mbze430 | here is what I have posted on askubuntu | 18:11 |
| mbze430 | http://askubuntu.com/questions/163614/xubuntu-12-04-sony-vgn-fj170-brightness-volume-s1-s2-keys-are-not-functional | 18:11 |
| mbze430 | any takers ? :D | 18:14 |
| taz1232 | criket noises | 18:15 |
| mbze430 | very | 18:18 |
| Mathsterk | mbze430: idle here until one of the supernerds rescue you | 18:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | mbze430: I checked the arch wiki and it seems sonys should have the Fn keys working ootb so dunno why yours don't | 18:38 |
| well_laid_lawn | did they work with an older kernel? | 18:38 |
| mbze430 | I never tried an older kernel... it's on a 3.2-26 generic right now | 18:39 |
| mbze430 | oops | 18:39 |
| mbze430 | forgot the good old /msg | 18:39 |
| mbze430 | lol | 18:39 |
| mbze430 | I have read everywhere as well... but I can't come up with a explanation why Fn key is not registering | 18:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | you could try adding acpi_osi=Linux to the end of the kernel lone | 18:46 |
| well_laid_lawn | s/lo/li/ | 18:46 |
| Mathsterk | s/li/al/ | 18:46 |
| mbze430 | I added that in the GRUB | 18:47 |
| mbze430 | like what I posted on askubuntu tried most of what I can find on the web | 18:48 |
| mbze430 | and I know it works because in Windows 7 I can control brightness and volume and everything else while holding the FN key | 18:48 |
| mbze430 | right now, I think the problem is that the FN key is not being acknowledged | 18:49 |
| Mathsterk | mbze430: maybe you need to map the keys? | 18:49 |
| mbze430 | mathsterk: that's what I thought... but when I use the shortcut creator... holding the FN key it doesn't "bring" up a short cut | 18:50 |
| mbze430 | ^--- if that made sense.... | 18:50 |
| well_laid_lawn | I'd check launchpad to see if there is a bug filed for it | 18:50 |
| Mathsterk | mbze430: that made sense | 18:51 |
| Mathsterk | mbze430: i think there was some fancy way (in terminal) to check if the keys do something | 18:52 |
| Mathsterk | is* | 18:52 |
| mbze430 | acpi_listen ? | 18:53 |
| mbze430 | acpi_listen "capture" all your keypress... | 18:53 |
| Mathsterk | i don't remember, i did something 6-7 months ago to fix my volume keys, they work (50% ish) now :P | 18:53 |
| mbze430 | I am pretty sure its has to do with the module... | 18:54 |
| mbze430 | but ... then again... it's beyond my comprehension | 18:54 |
| mbze430 | I submitted the same question to launchpad about 30mins ago... so... we'll see | 18:56 |
| Dice | mbze430: run "xev" in terminal and then try pressing fn keys | 19:01 |
| mbze430 | k..hold | 19:01 |
| Dice | man it took long to find that with google | 19:01 |
| mbze430 | yep just as I thought... hitting FN key no events | 19:02 |
| mbze430 | hitting any other keys brings event up on the terminal | 19:02 |
| mbze430 | and S1 and S2 key no events either | 19:03 |
| mbze430 | ok going to update that in my question as well :D | 19:06 |
| Dice | you could try newer kernel from ubuntu kernel team ppa | 19:07 |
| mbze430 | suggestion on which newer kernel to try? | 19:14 |
| Dice | as new as possible | 19:16 |
| echonize | Hey! How can i set panel alpha on 32bit Xubuntu? I had that slider on 64bit version, but now its vanished. | 19:17 |

| uskerine | hi, i have installed ubuntuone in xubuntu 12.04 | 22:58 |
| uskerine | i succesfully launched "ubuntuone-installer" | 22:58 |
| uskerine | i closed the window, how can i launch ubuntuone again? | 22:58 |
| xubuntu570 | Windows borders have disappeared under Xubuntu 12.04. xfce4 is running, panel and icons are present, applications behave normally except pull-down menus vanish before items can be selected. How do I fix this? | 23:00 |
| Unit193 | uskerine: Menu > Internet > Ubuntu One. | 23:03 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu570: Type xfwm4 --replace after hitting alt+f2. | 23:03 |
| xubuntu570 | Oh, also the Window Manager preferences panel in my settings manager is blank. | 23:04 |
| Unit193 | What? Never seen that one... | 23:08 |
| ochosi | xubuntu570: screenshot? | 23:12 |
| uskerine | does anyone know how to install bonita open solution in xubuntu? | 23:26 |
| Maccer | Why isn't xubuntu compiled in i686 yet? | 23:32 |
| Maccer | I doubt that any pre-1995 computer will be able to run it on boot at 300 MB's | 23:32 |
| xubuntu570 | Unit193: Thanks, that worked. Any idea what might have caused the failure? | 23:35 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu570: Not much, something can cause xfwm to have a "soft" crash, or such. | 23:38 |
