=== ToZ is now known as Guest10304 [01:39] +i [01:50] 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. [01:51] its a gateway e-3400 with a Pentium III (930 MHz), and 256mb of RAM [01:53] +x [02:24] hello all, I'm new to xubuntu, and linux in general [02:25] after reading the documentation, I'm having some trouble changing my desktop theme. can anyone help? [02:30] Menu > Settings > Settings Manager > Appearance OR Window Manager [02:30] Though, the shimmer themes will be best/most compatible. [02:34] 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 [02:36] Extracted I'd guess? It *generally* should, but you may as well extract it to ~/.themes/ since that's local. [02:40] 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" [03:03] Hi .. does xubuntu come with unity ? [03:03] No, that's the point of the X. [03:03] ooh 12.04 neither ? [03:04] 12.10 as well. [03:04] It's the point of the X. [03:04] nice.. i bumbed into this and was confused http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSsiGuq7qf4 [03:04] download please progress :) [03:05] 12.04 or 12.10 ? [03:05] i hate instability.. so no risks please [03:07] Not saying it won't ever be unstable, but it's not using Unity. [07:28] hey all - im installing over top of a 12.04 Ubuntu installation [07:29] Xubuntu retains my home directories, correct? [07:51] mdel: do you have home on a seperate partition?

Yes I do have one the required cable subscriptions, and it works fine under Windows and SalixOS. [13:18] Actually, it does not work with Xubuntu and FF, Chromium or Midori...so I and guessing it's not strictly a FF issue. [13:22] flash ? [13:30] 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. [13:31] 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) [13:32] any way, I'm going to run Ubuntu itself now, to see what happens...it is a *buntu thing. [13:43] OK,...the NBC Olympics thing happens under Ubuntu as well...guess it's a *buntu problem :( [13:54] 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? [14:03] hi...can someone point me to a faq/wiki that explains how to run a script on usb key plug? [14:04] 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 [14:05] maybe the automount mechanism of thunar can handle this/can expanded to do that? [14:07] 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) [14:23] <_xubuntu-ubuntu_> HELP, i have a read only filesystem [14:29] <_xubuntu-ubuntu_> HELP WITH A READ-ONLY filesystem [17:48] years [18:09] anyone alive? [18:09] need help [18:10] :) [18:10] I am having the dreaded Fn key not working problem... [18:11] here is what I have posted on askubuntu [18:11] http://askubuntu.com/questions/163614/xubuntu-12-04-sony-vgn-fj170-brightness-volume-s1-s2-keys-are-not-functional [18:14] any takers ? :D [18:15] criket noises [18:18] very [18:19] mbze430: idle here until one of the supernerds rescue you [18:38] 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] did they work with an older kernel? [18:39] I never tried an older kernel... it's on a 3.2-26 generic right now [18:39] oops [18:39] forgot the good old /msg [18:39] lol [18:40] I have read everywhere as well... but I can't come up with a explanation why Fn key is not registering [18:46] you could try adding acpi_osi=Linux to the end of the kernel lone [18:46] s/lo/li/ [18:46] s/li/al/ [18:47] I added that in the GRUB [18:48] like what I posted on askubuntu tried most of what I can find on the web [18:48] and I know it works because in Windows 7 I can control brightness and volume and everything else while holding the FN key [18:49] right now, I think the problem is that the FN key is not being acknowledged [18:49] mbze430: maybe you need to map the keys? [18:50] 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] ^--- if that made sense.... [18:50] I'd check launchpad to see if there is a bug filed for it [18:51] mbze430: that made sense [18:52] mbze430: i think there was some fancy way (in terminal) to check if the keys do something [18:52] is* [18:53] acpi_listen ? [18:53] acpi_listen "capture" all your keypress... [18:53] i don't remember, i did something 6-7 months ago to fix my volume keys, they work (50% ish) now :P [18:54] I am pretty sure its has to do with the module... [18:54] but ... then again... it's beyond my comprehension [18:56] I submitted the same question to launchpad about 30mins ago... so... we'll see [19:01] mbze430: run "xev" in terminal and then try pressing fn keys [19:01] k..hold [19:01] man it took long to find that with google [19:02] yep just as I thought... hitting FN key no events [19:02] hitting any other keys brings event up on the terminal [19:03] and S1 and S2 key no events either [19:06] ok going to update that in my question as well :D [19:07] you could try newer kernel from ubuntu kernel team ppa [19:14] suggestion on which newer kernel to try? [19:16] as new as possible [19:17] Hey! How can i set panel alpha on 32bit Xubuntu? I had that slider on 64bit version, but now its vanished. [19:19] now ... I'm scared...lol [19:22] echonize: enable compositing in window manager tweaks [19:25] hi. i upgraded to xubuntu 12.04 and now nm-applet won't show me the "enable wireless" option when right-clicking on it so i can't use wifi. === toz is now known as Guest32673 === Guest32673 is now known as toz [22:58] hi, i have installed ubuntuone in xubuntu 12.04 [22:58] i succesfully launched "ubuntuone-installer" [22:58] i closed the window, how can i launch ubuntuone again? [23:00] 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? [23:03] uskerine: Menu > Internet > Ubuntu One. [23:03] xubuntu570: Type xfwm4 --replace after hitting alt+f2. [23:04] Oh, also the Window Manager preferences panel in my settings manager is blank. [23:08] What? Never seen that one... [23:12] xubuntu570: screenshot? [23:26] does anyone know how to install bonita open solution in xubuntu? [23:32] Why isn't xubuntu compiled in i686 yet? [23:32] I doubt that any pre-1995 computer will be able to run it on boot at 300 MB's [23:35] Unit193: Thanks, that worked. Any idea what might have caused the failure? [23:38] xubuntu570: Not much, something can cause xfwm to have a "soft" crash, or such.
