[01:27] <Relondo> So, I installed the XFCE desktop on top of a standard Ubuntu installation. I uninstalled it, but when booting and shutting down, it still shows a splash screen with "Xubuntu".
[01:28] <Unit193> Remove plymouth-theme-xubuntu-text and -logo
[01:29] <Relondo> Thanks
[01:29] <Relondo> Wait, using -remove?
[01:30] <Unit193> sudo apt-get remove
[01:31] <Relondo> Ah, thanks.
[02:21] <greasegum> I want to do a fresh install of xubuntu, instead of my current install *over* ubuntu. can I install from the iso without burning to disc?
[02:47] <Space-Duck> Anyone know how to add a launcher to Docky for the Terminal and Thunar?
[02:47] <Space-Duck> If I manually create a launcher and place it into Docky, it doesn't fire.
[03:09] <xubuntu176> Hello...?
[03:10] <xubuntu176> Hello, is anyone about?
[03:11] <bazhang> !ask | xubuntu176
[03:12] <xubuntu176> Sorry. My question is, why is it that, when I'm watching videos on youtube, blue appears orange, and light skin appears blue?
[03:13] <drc> try http://askubuntu.com/questions/117127/flash-video-appears-blue  for a start
[03:13] <xubuntu176> Could this have to do with my video/graphics card? I've NVIDIA. I downloaded and installed the driver software.
[03:14] <xubuntu176> OK--will check it out. Thank you.
[03:14] <bazhang> full screen the flash, then disable hardware acceleration
[03:14] <drc> and that is easier (and the way I did it :)
[08:04] <xubuntu431> hello
[08:04] <xubuntu431> i installed the xubuntu iso
[08:05] <xubuntu431> now i would like to install some software, but apt-get tells me that verious things are not found (emacs, dselect, etc)
[08:05] <xubuntu431> i seem to have very few things in "origin"
[08:05] <xubuntu431> previously when i installed ubuntu on another machine and then xubuntu on top of it i had a lot of things
[08:06] <xubuntu431> precise-updates/universe for example
[08:06] <xubuntu431> on the machine with the xubuntu iso, i have only all local and precise-security
[08:07] <xubuntu431> i didn't have the internet when i did the install
[08:10] <bazhang> sudo apt-get update , followed by sudo apt-get upgrade  and try again
[08:11] <Unit193> Could also check synaptic for enabled, but reloading the cache is more likely.
[08:12] <xubuntu431> the update upgrade thing seems to be working
[08:12] <xubuntu431> thanks!
[10:14] <xubuntu163> need help...
[10:15] <baizon> so i hope someone can help you :)
[10:15] <xubuntu163> hahaha
[10:15] <xubuntu163> tnx

[10:16] <well_laid_lawn> s/,//
[10:16] <xubuntu163> xubuntu 1204,nvidia 8800,304.22 driver
[10:16] <xubuntu163> look fine
[10:16] <xubuntu163> and works welll...
[10:16] <xubuntu163> but...
[10:17] <xubuntu163> how to add mint menu or gnomenu on xfce panel?
[10:18] <xubuntu163> or cardapio...
[10:22] <knome> xubuntu163, please don't use enter as punctuation. thanks!
[10:25] <baizon> xubuntu163: http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-xfapplet-plugin
[10:25] <baizon> then you can add a gnome menu :)
[11:24] <CliffyT> Does anyone know how to install adobe flash on xubunto i have mini laptop which i have installed the xubunto the usb way :) i did all the apt get updates and even did all the install flash stuff and firefox still crashes when ever i go on page that uses flash keeps saying install adobe
[11:26] <CliffyT> what was trying to do was on site justin.tv that uses flash on broadcasting option thats when it crashes
[12:44] <xubuntu813> i have an hp mini... no cd drive... how do i install? i assume download... then do i do a usb back up? do i need to have usb inserted for each reboot? what happens to files?
[12:45] <stratoka> yeah, write the image to an usb
[12:46] <xubuntu813> so start by downloading that penguin path install to usb, and that's it? just keep it inserted?
[12:46] <xubuntu813> keep in mind i've never used ubuntu
[12:46] <stratoka> are you running windows now?
[12:46] <xubuntu813> yes
[12:47] <xubuntu813> i'm stoked to do it but i don't want to screw it up or have a poor experience due to inexperience
[12:47] <stratoka> www.pendrivelinux.com
[12:48] <stratoka> download universalusbinstaller
[12:48] <stratoka> are you trying to install Ubuntu or Xubuntu?
[12:48] <xubuntu813> ha, didn't know of a difference
[12:49] <stratoka> I suggest to install Ubunt if you dont have linux experience
[12:49] <xubuntu813> will i miss out?
[12:49] <Dice> I might recommend unetbootin over that pendrivelinux thingy
[12:50] <Dice> main ubuntu has more guides online and bigger support community, but if xubuntu feels better, welcome
[12:51] <xubuntu813> do i miss out on ubuntu? interesting
[12:51] <xubuntu813> vs. xub
[12:53] <Dice> interesting to set question that way around.. depends what you want and need
[12:54] <xubuntu813> i would need a flash with enough memory to keep OS and new files right?  what happens on old files with old OS windows? they just sit there with the old system, not useable with xu or ub?
[12:55] <xubuntu813> i was hoping to utilize the good free programs like for dvd burning, and just looking forward to no bs freezing, no updates on windows
[12:56] <xubuntu813> i have mac too but software expensive. i wanted to get linuxized but then wondered if the cost of that would equal a purchase of mac software and mac burner upgrade
[13:03] <xubuntu813> do i have to pick a package?
[13:40] <xubuntu098> I'm trying to work with a pendrive modem. I don't figure how to establish the conection. I think settings are ok but can't find the dialer.
[14:58] <knome> Xubuntu community meeting in a few minutes in #xubuntu-devel. Everybody is welcome!
[15:30] <unrar> rehi
[15:31] <knome> unrar, hmm; please don't use awaynicks. /away is enough
[15:31] <knome> (hi)
[15:36] <unrar> ok
[16:35] <PrivateReese> hey guys i got a broken installation and want to restore or reinstall all packets from the original xubuntu installation can somebody help me?
[16:36] <bazhang> broken how
[16:38] <PrivateReese> i am know working with an almost normal system but some packets after the base system where broken and not installed so i had to install xubuntu-desktop myself and now it doesnt really lock like the standard
[16:40] <bazhang> what are the exact error messages.  paste.ubuntu.com if more than a single line
[16:41] <PrivateReese> there are no errors i am just chatting with you on this system right now but i want the system to look like the standard installation one and also that it is installing standard packets which might have been lost during the installation
[16:42] <PrivateReese> packets like libc-dev make and xfce4 or xubuntu-desktop were missing so i expect the system to run but with a lot of standard and maybe also drivers missing
[16:43] <PrivateReese> and i am sorry but i cannot restore the error message during installation something like "critical error maybe the system has not been installed correctly"
[16:44] <PrivateReese> i know from other distribution or some other linux that you can overwrite some config files with the packet supporter ones
[16:45] <PrivateReese> if it is called like this in english in german its "Packetbetreuer"
[16:45] <bazhang> the package manager?
[16:45] <PrivateReese> yeah could be
[16:46] <bazhang> PrivateReese, were you installing things from 3rd party sources, such as PPA?
[16:46] <PrivateReese> only a graphics driver from nvidia
[16:46] <PrivateReese> via sgfxi script
[16:47] <bazhang> the script was in a PPA?
[16:47] <PrivateReese> other things were just installed with xfce4 and xubuntu-desktop  parameters in apt-get install
[16:49] <PrivateReese> isnt there some command like "install and compare packets from cdrom" ?
[16:51] <bazhang> well , you never answered if you used PPA
[16:51] <PrivateReese> or just are there some special repos for xubuntu i only got the ubuntu .com/12.4/
[16:51] <PrivateReese> you mean if i used external sources?
[16:51] <PrivateReese> or just the normal update process?
[16:52] <bazhang> and given you have no specific errors to share, it's 100% guesswork in troubleshooting
[16:52] <bazhang> problems with libc are not encouraging
[16:53] <PrivateReese> yeah how to say it was quite strange to me too
[16:53] <bazhang> sounds like you were editing system files, adding suspect packages and the like
[16:54] <bazhang> a single nvidia driver script would be hard put to explain the numerous errors you mention
[16:55] <PrivateReese> i didnt configure something just installed the missing GUi packets like xfce4 and xubuntu-desktop and i was also installing graphics driver via script.
[16:55] <PrivateReese> and i did not use any personal packet archives
[16:56] <PrivateReese> and as i know all my GUi problems would be solved if i can get config files for the default installation from the packet manager
[16:56] <PrivateReese> if i would knew if its possible
[16:58] <PrivateReese> so bazhang for instance i want my desktop look like this: http://xubuntu.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/precise_01-600x450.png how do i do this?
[17:02] <PrivateReese> theres a package called xubuntu default settings
[17:02] <PrivateReese> maybe this will do it
[17:05] <PrivateReese> yust testing it ;-)
[17:10] <script__> היי שלום יש לי בעיה במערכת 10.04
[17:10] <script__> אפשר עזרה
[17:11] <bazhang> script__, english here only
[17:12] <script__> ok help ubuntu 10.04 Update Manager
[17:13] <bazhang> help with what
[17:13] <script__> Failed to download all repository indexes
[17:13] <bazhang> try changing servers
[17:14] <script__> Where I find it?
[17:15] <bazhang> which package manager are you using? synaptic?
[17:16] <bazhang> yuo would change software sources to try another mirror
[17:16] <script__> Yes
[17:16] <script__> synptic
[17:17] <bazhang> so go into synaptic and change software sources/mirror, reload and try again
[17:19] <script__> v
[17:19] <script__> OK, it tells me failure failure failure

[17:20] <script__> Perhaps the database is already available or can not be connect to it due to network problems. If there is an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the reservoir would not be usable. Check your network connection and verify that the correct preferences database.
[18:37] <craigbass1976> http://pastebin.com/0jtNsX29  This is my current setup.  If I'm on a windows box somewhere on the network, I'm fine.  If I'm on a linux box with something in /etc/fstab like this: //192.168.2.107/moulton-files   /home/craig/share  cifs umask=777,uid=1000,gid=1000   0 0  I create directories that are 775 (others can't write, user and group are good) and then I can not stick things in said directories.  If I create a new FILE, it's
[18:37] <craigbass1976>  777.
[18:39] <Unit193> could use file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 or something close to it, it has worked for me at least.
[18:51] <xubuntu062> hola
[18:51] <xubuntu062> help
[18:59] <craigbass1976> Unit193, in fstab or smb.conf
[19:18] <craigbass1976> Unit193, like this? //192.168.2.107/moulton-files   /home/craig/share  cifs file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000   0 0
[20:03] <Unit193> Now I'm wondering if it worked.
[20:56] <sambagirl> good evening. i was just re-inforcing my understanding of something. i think that i may possibly successfully upgrade from 10.10 ubumntu 64 to xubuntu and have an interface that i can resolve. am i right?
[20:58] <Unit193> Well.... You'd have to go 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04 to be current as 10.10 is EOL.
[20:58] <Unit193> !purexfce |Otherwise there is this
[21:18] <sambagirl> but see that is why i am getting away from ubuntu  because i like gnome and i am familiar with the layout and stuff. i can use gnome in xubuntu yes?
[21:21] <GridCube> no
[21:21] <GridCube> [X]ubuntu the X is for XFCE
[21:21] <GridCube> if you use another window manager then you are not using xfce
[21:22] <GridCube> then you are not using xubuntu, plain logics
[22:05] <tyche_> I recently created a LiveUSB key of Xubuntu 12.04 and tried it on my desktop (HP Pavilion HPE) and later on my Dell Inspiron 910 (Early netbook).  In both cases there was a crash report - something about colord, if I remember correctly.  I'd be interested in knowing what it was.
[22:06] <tyche_> PS:  I have since installed it on the Dell, and it doesn't happen from the installation.
[22:08] <Unit193> It's a daemon to  manage device colour profiles.
[22:09] <sambagirl> ok so if i recall elive used xfkc correct? sorry i was in another world listening to john luc ponte on headphones and forgot i was online doing this..
[22:09] <tyche_> Interesting.  Thanks.  And as I have no known color profiles (Disclaimer:  I'm a perpetual n00bie), it had no effect on the rest of the LiveUSB test.
[22:10] <sambagirl> i just want to have the menus at the top so i can navigate like i have forever. that's all i want.
[22:10] <pleia2> xubuntu has that
[22:10] <Unit193> By default at least.
[22:11] <sambagirl> i can not figure out ubuntu navigation anymore.
[22:11] <sambagirl> that is why i still use 10.10
[22:11] <tyche_> Morning pleia2.  I think there's a way through properties to add Applications, too.
[22:12] <pleia2> you can add application menus all over the place ;)
[22:13] <sambagirl> i personally think that microsoft or apple people have infiltrated the ubuntu dev group and are messing it up. well that is my thought. i saw this verhy thing with reactos. same behaviour.
[22:13] <tyche_> Otherwise, just click the XFCE icon in the left corner of the bar.
[22:13] <pleia2> sambagirl: you might want to try #xubuntu-offtopic ;)
[22:15] <sambagirl> i thinkj i will just try to go to sleep
[22:16] <Unit193> sambagirl: Maybe try a current liveCD of Xubuntu 12.04...
[22:34] <sambagirl> ok i will try it tomorrow i am to messed up fight now to try that. thanks.
