| Cogito | The Seamonkey suite include a mail client. | 03:59 |
| Space-Duck | I'll be using web-based email... just like I'm using now. | 03:59 |
| craigbass1976 | Space-Duck, I'm not always on the internet when traveling about though (Rural Maine) and need to get at email stored on my laptop, so webmail isn't an option. Anyone used claws mail? | 04:03 |
| Space-Duck | craigbass1976, I'm confused... What good is email without the internet? Most web based email systems allow you to export your emails (for offline browsing). | 04:04 |
| Space-Duck | I have more email than I would want to store on my system... but maybe thats just me | 04:05 |
| craigbass1976 | Space-Duck, I've never played with them. mail2web I think is the only one I've used. | 04:05 |
| Space-Duck | craigbass1976, you may want to consider using gmail and mounting it to Linux via gmailfs. | 04:08 |
| Cogito | Space-Duck: If privacy is in the horizon, then lavabit may be an option to gmail. xD | 04:26 |

| well_laid_lawn | annoyedwithxubun: it all depends on what your issue is | 08:16 |
| annoyedwithxubun | well where do I begin | 08:17 |
| annoyedwithxubun | i downloaded a virus by accident onto my windows vista pc | 08:17 |

| annoyedwithxubun | sorry | 08:18 |
| v1adimir | :) | 08:18 |
| annoyedwithxubun | I cant boot into my xubuntu partition however it keeps bringing up my corrupted winodws boot manager | 08:19 |
| annoyedwithxubun | *windows | 08:19 |
| v1adimir | what shows up on boot, grub? | 08:20 |
| well_laid_lawn | it's not xubuntu bringing up the corrupted boot manager | 08:21 |
| annoyedwithxubun | it the corrupted windows boot manager I thought grub was supposed to overwrite it | 08:21 |
| v1adimir | it's separate, grub just calls the windows boot manager if it detects it | 08:22 |
| well_laid_lawn | it would of if it was installed to the hard disk not a partition | 08:22 |
| v1adimir | ^ | 08:23 |
| annoyedwithxubun | is there a way to boot directly into xubutu | 08:23 |

| silverlion | good morning from germany ;) | 08:39 |
| v1adimir | mornin' | 08:40 |
| silverlion | i think about switching from mint 12 to xubuntu having an old desktop from 2003. what do you think ? | 08:42 |
| Dice | I've never used mint, but xubuntu is great | 08:43 |
| silverlion | heard about it ... but i am so fixed about having that list with applications and stuff at the bottom of the screen instead of at the top. that is what kept me till now | 08:47 |
| Dice | you can easily throw panels to any edge of screen with xubuntu, or center of it | 08:52 |
| silverlion | dice via drag and drop? | 08:53 |
| annoyedwithxubun | to get grub as the overwriting boot loader do I install it to "/dev/sda" ,the disk,or "/dev/sda8" ,the partition, | 09:19 |
| Dice | silverlion: yes, after unlocking in preferences | 09:23 |
| silverlion | Dice: how to unlock it? | 09:23 |
| Dice | right click -> preferences -> uncheck checkbox for locking | 09:24 |
| Dice | annoyedwithxubun: MBR aka. disk, sda | 09:24 |
| annoyedwithxubun | thanks | 09:25 |
| silverlion | Dice: thx man! will try with desktop cd tonight after work ;) | 09:26 |
| annoyedwithxubun | hopefully the last question to get my pc working. How can I fix an unknown format error that apears on my screen on boot? | 09:33 |
| Marzata | annoyedwithxubun: new hdd? | 09:56 |
| annoyedwithxubun | no just installed xubuntu then had use boot-repair | 09:58 |

| andy_newuser | !patience | 10:30 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 10:30 |
| andy_newuser | thanks. Running xubuntu12.04 with xfce 4.8. Have a few niggles that I am working to solve, nothing fatal. Current issue is that when I login the xfce background reverts to the default wallpaper. when i remove it and set the background to a single block of colour (my preference) all is ok until I reboot/logoff and on login again the default wallpaper returns. searched google and forums to try and get the background sett | 10:33 |
| andy_newuser | ing to be remembered. Any clues or thoughts to solve please? | 10:33 |
| knome | andy_newuser, i don't know if it helps, but try removing /home/youruser/.cache | 10:41 |
| xubuntunewb | andy try this site http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1505392.html | 10:42 |
| andy_newuser | i will try, and report back, thank you :) | 10:51 |
| andy_newuser | knome, im afraid deleting the cache didn't work. I'm not specifying a new wallpaper in terms of a picture or file, just no wallpaper and a blue background from the desktop background settings window. the file that keeps coming back is xubuntu-greybird | 11:12 |
| xubuntunewb | andy try this site http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1505392.html | 11:23 |
| xubuntu598 | Hi, there is a mistake at page http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1204-precise/. "Create the file /usr/apt/apt.conf.d/05norecommends ...", should be "Create the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05norecommends ...". :) | 11:32 |
| xubuntunewb | I have a problem with my monitor. when I boot I get a message on it saying unkown format. My pc works with a borrowed monitor and my monitor works with my laptop so both work fine. | 11:47 |
| andy_newuser | Solved: I have solved the problem of wallpaper reappearing, by thinking laterally. in essence for some reason the settings for my single monitor were being pulled in by the setting for monitor 1 and 2 in the background settings menu, with my background being made up of a combination of the two. Don't know why, but set the monitor 2 parameters to the same as monitor 1 and all ok! Why this happens is a mystery to me. Whe | 12:16 |
| andy_newuser | re is a good place to post this solution on the web please and should i report this as a bug? | 12:16 |

| BitPuffin | Any ideas why the right click is so slow on my machines? | 14:38 |
| lJ6il | Hello. New installation of Xubuntu and my VLC crackles when a sound is played | 14:46 |
| lJ6il | It's awful. I don't know why | 14:46 |
| lJ6il | Does someone has clues ? | 14:46 |
| BitPuffin | lJ6il, Don't know, sounds good on my machine. Try fiddling with some settings? | 14:47 |
| lJ6il | BitPuffin, i did. I tried to change the out sound module | 14:48 |
| lJ6il | With pulse audio it doesn't play anything. | 14:49 |
| lJ6il | With OSS it crackles too | 14:49 |
| lJ6il | With alsa no sound | 14:50 |
| lJ6il | but with other players it's ok | 14:50 |
| BitPuffin | try reinstalling haha | 14:51 |
| lJ6il | BitPuffin, haha | 14:52 |
| BitPuffin | Honestly, I've got no clue | 14:53 |
| Dice | lJ6il: let it play for about a minute, some pulseaudio option should work | 14:54 |
| Dice | (oss is emulated by pulseaudio nowdays) | 14:55 |
| lJ6il | Dice, nope doesn't change | 15:01 |

| xubuntu449 | Hello? | 18:52 |
| pAt_ | hello xubuntu449 | 18:53 |
| xubuntu449 | hello? | 18:53 |
| xubuntu449 | Is anyone there? | 18:53 |
| pAt_ | 107 ppl | 18:54 |
| xubuntu449 | Oh, I'd like to report an issue with xubuntu. | 18:54 |
| Unit193 | ChanServ doesn't count, nor ubottu... | 18:54 |
| pAt_ | :D | 18:54 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu449: It's best to report a bug rather than here as we normally can't do anything about it, but what's up? | 18:55 |
| xubuntu449 | Well, it freezes constantly. Sometimes it recovers, but when the curser turns to a hand and it freezes, as described in this link:http://www.mentby.com/Group/xubuntu-users/xubuntu-freezes.html | 18:55 |
| xubuntu449 | it will not recover | 18:56 |
| xubuntu449 | I did figure out it is a problem having to do with X server because I just restarted X and it started working just fine after. | 18:56 |
| Unit193 | Ah, if it's what I think it is, check syslog or dmesg for a line like "GPU hanging too fast, declaring wedged" or close to it. | 18:59 |
| Unit193 | (Granted, very easily could be something else) What card/driver? | 19:00 |
| xubuntu449 | Is syslog a file or a command? | 19:00 |
| Unit193 | System log file: /var/log/syslog | 19:01 |
| Unit193 | dmesg is a command though. | 19:01 |
| xubuntu449 | Ok, I am finding it now | 19:01 |
| xubuntu449 | Ok, I did find a GPU being hung | 19:05 |
| xubuntu449 | and some other GPU errors | 19:05 |
| Unit193 | What's the line say? And are you using a 82845G/GL (or close) Intel built-in? What version of Xubuntu anyway? | 19:06 |
| xubuntu449 | My version is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS(that's what it's saying), but it's running xubuntu. The line says "*ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed...GPU hung" | 19:08 |
| xubuntu449 | After it it says "failed to execute 'usr/share/apport/apport-gpu-error-intel.py' | 19:09 |
| Unit193 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/i8xxUnsupported I have 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) and Xubuntu 12.04 has been more stable than the others, but I still get a few problems with this card. | 19:12 |
| xubuntu449 | So who should I take this to? It isn't any particular program that's doing it. I think, like you said, it may be a hardware and software problem. Will most other ubuntu-based linuxes act like this? | 19:15 |
| Unit193 | AFAIK, just a bit, yep. | 19:16 |
| xubuntu449 | Well thank you very much for your help, and like I said, who should I report this to? | 19:20 |
| TheKing | I have Xubuntu 12.04, but it works fine. | 19:21 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu449: Well, pretty sure there's already a few or so, but if it's the same card it's generally marked as unsupported, so not a ton of luck there. | 19:24 |
| xubuntu449 | Ok, well thank you and see you later | 19:24 |
| Unit193 | Sorry I couldn't help, have a nice one. | 19:25 |

| fusk | hello, new to xubuntu, but just ran into a problem. | 23:30 |
| fusk | I removed stuff from my dock, suddenly my icons starts jumping left and right, and are now stuck in the left corner, how do i center align them again ? | 23:30 |
| Unit193 | Don't need to repeat, and there should be a thin spacer. | 23:30 |
| fusk | oh sorry, didn't know you could see that | 23:31 |
| fusk | thought i had to be identified by nickserv to write in channels | 23:31 |
| Unit193 | Yep, makes sense. | 23:31 |
| fusk | as the nick is registered | 23:32 |
| Unit193 | Anywho, see the spacer? | 23:32 |
| fusk | nope | 23:32 |
| fusk | most left icons is as close to the screen as possible | 23:33 |
| fusk | tried adding a spacer, which just added a grey vertical line next to the icon, dock still aligned to the left. | 23:34 |
| Unit193 | Well, I've only had something close to that when there was a missing spacer, it was in the wrong place, or it wasn't set to expand. | 23:34 |
| Unit193 | Entire dock? Well there's that too. | 23:34 |
| fusk | yeah, entire dock | 23:35 |
| fusk | no idea why | 23:35 |
| Unit193 | https://www.dropbox.com/s/5j51v86cc8bpzda/panel.png Setting like that? | 23:36 |
| fusk | been there, but didn't touch anything | 23:37 |
| fusk | mine has the same settings | 23:38 |
| fusk | just doublechecked | 23:38 |
| Unit193 | I don't know off hand, but you can backup the config and go back to default if you'd like. | 23:39 |
| Savage_ | hi why i cant talk with my mic | 23:39 |
| Savage_ | i read in google and have prob with pulseaudio? | 23:39 |
| fusk | sure, default would be fine, no need to backup, installed yesterday. | 23:39 |
| SkippersBoss | another pulse one | 23:39 |
| Savage_ | how i can repair this? | 23:40 |
| Unit193 | fusk: Remove this dir .config/xfce4/panel/ | 23:40 |
| Unit193 | Savage_: Program? Skype? | 23:40 |
| Savage_ | yeah | 23:40 |
| SkippersBoss | savage_, first of all i am not an expert but removing pulse has solved my problems | 23:41 |
| fusk | where is that dir located ? | 23:41 |
| Unit193 | SkippersBoss: I just kill it for the time | 23:41 |
| Unit193 | fusk: ~/ | 23:41 |
| fusk | or is it a hidden folder ? | 23:41 |
| SkippersBoss | Unit193, pulse and skype do not mix | 23:41 |
| Unit193 | Hidden. | 23:41 |
| fusk | i see, need to unhide it | 23:41 |
| Unit193 | SkippersBoss: Yep, I pulseaudio -k and set it not to autospawn if I need skype. | 23:41 |
| SkippersBoss | Sure : | 23:41 |
| Unit193 | fusk: Ctrl+h | 23:42 |
| SkippersBoss | so Savage_ there is your answer | 23:42 |
| Savage_ | ok thanks | 23:42 |
| SkippersBoss | :_) | 23:42 |
| SkippersBoss | Good luck | 23:42 |
| Unit193 | Though, removing it would work as well. | 23:42 |
| SkippersBoss | tell me about it :-) | 23:43 |
| fusk | aha, there we go, so just delete entire panel dir ? | 23:43 |
| Unit193 | fusk: Yep, then logout/back in | 23:43 |
| fusk | will do | 23:44 |
| fusk | Unit193, didn't work. | 23:45 |
| Unit193 | Eh? Welll...... | 23:46 |
| fusk | all icons are now black except for trash, default dir and show desktop. | 23:47 |
| fusk | blank' | 23:47 |
| Unit193 | Could try copying /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/panel/ to ~/.xfce4/panel/ -r ? | 23:50 |
| fusk | i know we just met, and this is crazy, but i got more faith in you then myself when it comes to linux. | 23:52 |
| fusk | so if you say so, i'll do it. | 23:53 |
| Unit193 | Heh, that delete trick normally works for me to reset the panels. | 23:54 |
| fusk | i'm just not quite sure what i'm supposed to do, do i just copy the folder, or is that -r important ? | 23:55 |
| Unit193 | Ah! Here we go! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels | 23:55 |
| fusk | i see | 23:56 |
| fusk | could you help me pinpoint where we only fiddle with the dock panel, or do we just reset the whole chebang ? i only added dropbox so far, and it starts auto so i'd guess it'll find it's place again next time it starts. | 23:58 |
| Unit193 | The default dock is just another panel, panel #2 | 23:59 |
| fusk | aha, i see. | 23:59 |
