| dador33 | hello everyone ,, how are you doing :D | 01:57 |
|---|---|---|
| Jarsoom766 | Hey | 01:57 |
| Jarsoom766 | Question... How do you boot xubuntu with lilo? | 01:58 |
| drc | Jarsoom766: You wanting to dualboot xubuntu and slackware? | 02:00 |
| Jarsoom766 | Yup | 02:00 |
| drc | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-distributions-5/dual-boot-ubuntu-and-slackware-13-37-a-4175423036/ | 02:00 |
| Jarsoom766 | I have Absolute Linux and Xubuntu on the same disk | 02:00 |
| Jarsoom766 | I boot Xubuntu, it gets to tty1, system freezes. | 02:01 |
| Jarsoom766 | Doesn't recognize keystrokes or mouse | 02:01 |
| drc | You'd do better asking on LinuxQueations, as they actually use lilo | 02:01 |
| drc | or ##slackware | 02:01 |
| Jarsoom766 | Aye | 02:01 |
| G__81 | when i do a git clone i get this warning for every repo | 03:45 |
| G__81 | the warning is | 03:45 |
| G__81 | WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-pndHdL/pkcs11: No such file or directory | 03:45 |
| G__81 | can someone tell me how to suppress this ? | 03:45 |
| G__81 | and sometimes i get the gnome-keyring dialog box appear on screen when i go to some website it comes up randomly | 03:45 |
| G__81 | i am not sure whether these two problems are inter connected | 03:46 |
| xubuntu463 | hello | 03:49 |
| unheeding | can anyone help me to customize the trash icon in XFCE? | 04:04 |
| tech1 | you can use a different icon theme pack | 04:05 |
| tech1 | or duplicate the one you are using and edit the trash icon for it | 04:05 |
| unheeding | could i just go to the trash icon and replace it with the one i want? | 04:07 |
| tech1 | maybe. let me see | 04:07 |
| tech1 | with the Nautilus file explorer you can edit folders with right click, propeties.....not sure about the trash though. i cant find that folder | 04:08 |
| G__81 | when i do a git clone i get this warning for every repo | 04:08 |
| G__81 | WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-pndHdL/pkcs11: No such file or directory | 04:08 |
| G__81 | how do i suppress this ? | 04:08 |
| drc | tech1: ~/.local/share/Trash | 04:09 |
| G__81 | and sometimes i get the gnome-keyring dialog box appear on screen when i go to some website it comes up randomly | 04:09 |
| tech1 | ok. the ~/.local/share/Trash icon is just a regular folder icon in my nautilus..... so the "Rubbish Bin" on the desktop and side panel probably gets the icon from the icon theme | 04:10 |
| tech1 | so just go to settings > appearance > icons and choose a different theme. | 04:11 |
| unheeding | but the icon i want to use is not part of a particular theme | 04:13 |
| tech1 | well you can create your own theme, just duplicate the theme you have(with a new name), whch will keep your current icons, then edit the one you want to change | 04:14 |
| tech1 | it would be simpler to edit the system theme without duplicating the theme, but i wouldnt recommend that | 04:15 |
| unheeding | wow I did it | 04:31 |
| unheeding | thanks tech1 | 04:31 |
| tech1 | cool | 04:31 |
| unheeding | man i am so impressed with my skills | 04:32 |
| tech1 | keep it up :) | 04:33 |
| unheeding | here is the finished result: http://i.imgur.com/lTKhm.jpg | 04:35 |
| tech1 | cute | 04:36 |
| unheeding | Ponies... ponies everywhere! | 04:45 |
| unheeding | Xubuntu is so awesome! | 05:37 |
| unheeding | hooray for team Xubuntu | 05:38 |
| unheeding | hip hip hooray! | 05:38 |
| knome | unheeding, re: your question some days ago; yes, i use xfce ;) | 05:41 |
| unheeding | impressive that you remembered | 05:42 |
| unheeding | i use xfce now too | 05:43 |
| unheeding | it's all customized and stuff | 05:43 |
| knome | i have backlogs to remind me ;) | 05:44 |
| unheeding | how do you set that up? | 05:44 |
| testy | unheeding: testing your script | 05:57 |
| knome | unheeding, i run irssi under a screen, so my irc client is always on | 05:58 |
| unheeding | knome: i installed a script called hilightwin.pl, it says it created a window named hilight... but how do i access it? | 05:59 |
| knome | unheeding, which client? irssi? | 06:00 |
| unheeding | yes | 06:00 |
| knome | alt+numbers | 06:00 |
| unheeding | it's not in any of the numbers | 06:00 |
| unheeding | just the main window and channels are available | 06:00 |
| knome | hmm, then i don't know, i'm not familiar with the script | 06:01 |
| unheeding | i'll ty the one from scripts.irssi.org | 06:02 |
| unheeding | ooh i think it worked | 06:03 |
| testy | unheeding: did it work? | 06:03 |
| unheeding | yes, yes it did | 06:04 |
| unheeding | nice | 06:05 |
| Andy80 | hello | 07:42 |
| Andy80 | one question: Ubuntu will almost surely remove the alternate-install CDs starting from the next release. Are you going to follow the same path or are you thinking about keeping the alternate-install? Thanks | 07:43 |
| knome | Andy80, we are discussing it, but it looks like we're going to drop it as well | 07:44 |
| Andy80 | bad news then :( | 07:44 |
| knome | there are other ways: netboot and minimal iso | 07:44 |
| knome | we have no manpower to maintain the alternates if ubuntu drops them, that's one of the main arguments for dropping | 07:45 |
| Andy80 | I've nothing agains graphic installers, but.... think about RAID setup for example... it won't be ready for 12.10 | 07:46 |
| Andy80 | oh.. I can understand it then | 07:46 |
| Andy80 | if Ubuntu drops it you would have to do the whole work yourself | 07:46 |
| knome | you can use 12.04 then, or any release after that supports RAID | 07:46 |
| Andy80 | well.. probably it's easier to use the server version | 07:51 |
| Sysi | mini.iso has alt installer with raid capabilities | 07:52 |
| knome | Andy80, yeah, there's server too. though they are probably going to drop server i386 too. | 07:52 |
| knome | they are looking to reduce the ISO/build amount, and this is a very effective way | 07:53 |
| Andy80 | well... at least they should clearly state: we want to get rid of old PCs | 07:56 |
| Andy80 | it would be more honest :P | 07:56 |
| Andy80 | keep in mind anyway that lot of times (even with recent hardware... 2-3 years) we had problems with graphic installer... in particular with very cheap graphic cards | 07:57 |
| Andy80 | and we had to use the alternate-install | 07:57 |
| knome | the thing is | 07:57 |
| knome | ubiquity (the graphical installer) might not work with all cards, but that's because people have been sent to alternate | 07:57 |
| Andy80 | so starting from 12.10 it could be impossible for us (us/we: I talk in name of the linux user group I manage) to install Ubuntu on our PCs | 07:57 |
| knome | now, instead of sending to alternate, we will make people file the bugs, and they'll probably be fixed | 07:58 |
| Andy80 | yeah, that's the point--- | 07:58 |
| knome | you can always use the 12.04 ISO - that's LTS, and it's no way "obsolete" | 07:58 |
| Andy80 | they should have already been fixed... that's not the way, imho | 07:58 |
| knome | of course. but you didn't fix them :) | 07:58 |
| knome | i mean, not that we wouldn't like them to be fixed, but they aren't | 07:59 |
| Andy80 | I've no skills to fix a bug with a graphic card, or I would have done it :) | 07:59 |
| knome | i'm sure ubiquity has been getting better | 07:59 |
| knome | the release after LTS is the right time to do this change | 07:59 |
| knome | wouldn't make sense to try to upkeep it for a few more releases, since there won't be an LTS | 08:00 |
| Sysi | about any graphics card should boot with "xforcevesa" option | 08:02 |
| Kingsy | anyone know of a nice ical app that sits in the notifaction area or something? | 08:05 |
| Andy80 | old good days with text installer and recompiling kernel with my own optimizations as first thing to do ;) | 08:10 |
| livingdaylight | guys, is there a social-networking site like diaspora, open-source, protect and honor our privacy but that can connect with other services such as Google- and fciabook. What I loathe is "lock-in" where, whether its skype [good example] users are locked-in to one app or service to access other users /friends using that particular app/service | 08:12 |
| livingdaylight | diaspora looks good but seems to suffer from lock-in. that creates a battle, where either everyone migrates to one or another service - whatever the herd decides is most popular | 08:13 |
| livingdaylight | can become a self-fullfilling prophecy and remove our choice | 08:14 |
| knome | livingdaylight, i don't think so | 08:15 |
| livingdaylight | hrmm... shame - its what we need. Its what I want anyway. | 08:15 |
| marcappuccino | I guess since its not a real binary application lol | 08:29 |
| Sysi | Kingsy: it would be better to move it to ~/.local/share/applications/ | 08:29 |
| marcappuccino | a .desktop file should be in /usr/share/xsessions and it contains desktops like xfce lxde unity etc | 08:29 |
| marcappuccino | ...but why what do you hope to acheive with this | 08:29 |
| Sysi | .desktop files are in those application folders and they're used for menus | 08:29 |
| Sysi | also should I say | 08:30 |
| Kingsy | well I added the item manually and it works ok | 08:30 |
| marcappuccino | ...but why what do you hope to acheive with this | 08:30 |
| Kingsy | so you say the reason it didnt appear was because it was in the wrong folder? | 08:30 |
| Kingsy | marcappuccino: I don't understand what your asking, I want to add an application to the application menu so I can run it? heh | 08:31 |
| Sysi | Kingsy: could be, or wrong permissions | 08:31 |
| marcappuccino | oh so the 'application' is a shortcut to your 'sunbird.sh' (app?) | 08:32 |
| Kingsy | yeah | 08:32 |
| Kingsy | Sysi: i just assigned it to the root user.. perhaps it should have been my user? | 08:33 |
| Sysi | Kingsy: I've always operated in $HOME so I don't really know | 08:34 |
| Kingsy | np | 08:38 |
| nicklas | Hi All. If start my laptop with a HDMI monitor connected, my Xubuntu 12.04 system will not boot and gives the following error: drm_crtc_helper set_config error failed to set mode on crtc:5. I haven't been able to find anything online. Is this a common problem? | 09:25 |
| TheSheep | one would think that you would find something online if it was common, personally I never heard of it | 09:27 |

| Ileden | I just installed xubuntu on my desktop computer. Desktop performance is very, very slow. My video adapter is: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV 630 XT AGP [Radeon HD 2600 XT AGP] | 15:51 |
| Ileden | I did try the FGLRX proprietary driver, but it doesn't help. | 15:53 |
| FounderOf420 | I'm on 12.04.1 do i need to install some extra packgs to mount my android device? | 16:19 |
| FounderOf420 | getting no detection what-so-ever | 16:19 |
| blackgatonegro | well, lets me see | 16:19 |
| blackgatonegro | well, did you install the propietary drivers? | 16:25 |
| FounderOf420 | from samsung? no. they don't have a linux driver, only a .msi format | 16:27 |
| blackgatonegro | no I mean the ones in xubuntu | 16:27 |
| blackgatonegro | the ones to read audio and video files | 16:27 |
| blackgatonegro | like mp3 and that | 16:27 |
| FounderOf420 | yeah, but only via the option at the install. | 16:28 |
| blackgatonegro | install those | 16:28 |
| FounderOf420 | is that the 'restricted-extras' ? | 16:28 |
| blackgatonegro | yes | 16:28 |
| blackgatonegro | install the xubuntu ones | 16:28 |
| blackgatonegro | xubuntu should show the android phone as as a portable storage device when you plug it in, if its not, try to reboot the computer with the android phone conected | 16:29 |
| FounderOf420 | ok | 16:29 |
| blackgatonegro | but you need the restricted extras to play most video and audio files formats | 16:30 |
| blackgatonegro | on xubuntu | 16:30 |
| Sysi | http://askubuntu.com/questions/146529/how-to-connect-samsung-galaxy-s3-via-usb | 16:31 |
| FounderOf420 | i use vlc for all my vids so i havent needed restricted-extras in quite a while | 16:32 |
| blackgatonegro | well, it still helps | 16:32 |
| blackgatonegro | audacious is a pain with some codecs -_- | 16:33 |
| FounderOf420 | certainly does help | 16:34 |
| blackgatonegro | vlc on linux does not include dvd decoding by default, so you need to install medibuntu for that | 16:35 |
| FounderOf420 | thanks sysi, i installed a couple addition mtp pkgs | 16:35 |
| Unit193 | !medibuntu | 16:36 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 16:36 |
| FounderOf420 | ok ill grab the repo upon reboot | 16:36 |
| blackgatonegro | it seems you have a hardware specific issue, as android and ubuntu have become more compatible lately | 16:36 |
| blackgatonegro | !help | 16:36 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 16:36 |
| FounderOf420 | that's what i thought, i remember on my old desktop running 10.* that it would just mount right away | 16:37 |
| blackgatonegro | 12.4x does have some issues, but conpatibility with android is not one of them | 16:37 |
| Sysi | MTP is samsung special | 16:38 |
| blackgatonegro | some cell phones are a pain, thats why I check tons of reviews before buying | 16:39 |
| FounderOf420 | i'm using a galaxy s2 fascinate, 'twas a hand-me-down | 16:42 |
| FounderOf420 | i shall return, thanks for the inputs | 16:43 |
| blackgatonegro | ok | 16:43 |
| FounderOf420 | hrm, no love | 16:54 |
| drc | Not without protection. | 16:55 |
| FounderOf420 | i rebooted with the phone attached but no detection. then rebooted the phone while attached and the phone detected the connection. i selected connect to usb but no computer detection still | 16:55 |
| FounderOf420 | lsusb reveals nothing | 16:55 |
| blackgatonegro | mmm | 16:57 |
| blackgatonegro | tried to mount with disk utility on xubuntu? | 16:57 |
| TheSheep | FounderOf420: is this an android 4.x phone? | 16:58 |
| TheSheep | because the new androids are no longer visible as usb disks | 16:58 |
| FounderOf420 | no 2.3.5 i believe | 16:58 |
| TheSheep | they use mtp protocol to transfer files through usb | 16:59 |
| TheSheep | which means that on mac and linux (or anything not windows, really) you need a special application | 16:59 |
| TheSheep | gmtp works for me fine | 16:59 |
| FounderOf420 | i have the mtp pckgs installed and the banshee plugin as well | 16:59 |
| FounderOf420 | ok ill check that out | 17:00 |
| TheSheep | FounderOf420: you can see if your computer sees the device with the "lsusb" command in terminal | 17:00 |
| TheSheep | it will list all your usb connected devices | 17:00 |
| FounderOf420 | lsusb showed me no devices | 17:00 |
| blackgatonegro | how about disk utility? | 17:00 |
| TheSheep | if lsusb doesn't show it, then something is wrong with the connection | 17:01 |
| TheSheep | FounderOf420: anything relevant in dmesg? | 17:01 |
| FounderOf420 | unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 | 17:02 |
| FounderOf420 | device descriptor read/64, error -71 | 17:02 |
| FounderOf420 | [ 255.180158] usb 3-1: new low-speed USB device number 15 using uhci_hcd | 17:02 |
| FounderOf420 | device not accepting address 21, error -71 | 17:03 |
| blackgatonegro | mmm | 17:03 |
| TheSheep | FounderOf420: I had number -71 once, and it turned out to be a faulty usb cable, but in this case this can be anything | 17:03 |
| FounderOf420 | i've had trouble with cables before but i've tried every one i have. even a brand new one from a Galaxy S3 | 17:04 |
| TheSheep | FounderOf420: it may be also the socket, or any internal connection, or something not related to the cables at all | 17:04 |
| blackgatonegro | well | 17:04 |
| TheSheep | as far as I know error 71 is a generic protocl error | 17:04 |
| blackgatonegro | lets try the cable first | 17:05 |
| TheSheep | protocol | 17:05 |
| TheSheep | and a different socket | 17:05 |
| TheSheep | but it could also be something with the phone :( | 17:05 |
| blackgatonegro | well some phones hardware doesnt like ubuntu | 17:06 |
| blackgatonegro | does your phone have a micro sd card? | 17:06 |
| TheSheep | I doubt it's ubuntu specifically, it follows the standard protocol after all | 17:06 |
| FounderOf420 | yes, microSD | 17:07 |
| FounderOf420 | i think it has to be the phone | 17:07 |
| blackgatonegro | you could use an adapter and conect the microSD, that willwork for sure | 17:07 |
| blackgatonegro | is not a direct conection, but it will work. | 17:07 |
| FounderOf420 | yeah i have ana dapter, also android sync manager to sync over wifi. but i really want to root this POS and get a new ROM | 17:08 |
| FounderOf420 | there's 4 pages of verizon apps on here by default.. its disgusting lol | 17:08 |
| blackgatonegro | you could update android os | 17:09 |
| FounderOf420 | hmmm i think this phone is a refurb... theres an 'asurion' sticker under the battery | 17:09 |
| blackgatonegro | ok then | 17:09 |
| FounderOf420 | what the hell... they probably scrambled the insides | 17:09 |
| blackgatonegro | would explain why usb does not work well | 17:10 |
| FounderOf420 | maaaaaan... that's garbage | 17:10 |
| FounderOf420 | theres really nothing i can do about that eh? | 17:12 |
| blackgatonegro | yup | 17:14 |
| FounderOf420 | perhaps Mr. Hammer can fix it >:[ | 17:15 |
| drc | oh no mr bill ! | 17:15 |
| En- | when i launch xubuntu from my live cd im getting the screen resolution too low.. any ideas why_ | 17:17 |
| blackgatonegro | cause is a live cd | 17:17 |
| blackgatonegro | is does not have the video drivers installed | 17:17 |
| En- | if i install it it should be good then_ | 17:18 |
| En- | ? | 17:18 |
| FounderOf420 | the proper drivers should be installed. whats your default resolution? | 17:19 |
| drc | and video card? | 17:19 |
| En- | Radeon HD 6310 | 17:22 |
| FounderOf420 | blackgatonegro is probably right. i've never had that issue but i always use generic onboard video drivers. upon install you will se an icon on desktop that says 'additional hardware drivers' which will install what you need | 17:26 |

| Guest5674 | im getting an error during installation "it was not possible to install the bootloader at the specific location " | 17:51 |
| drc | Guest5674: My guess would be that you did not make the proper choice of where to install the bootloader (i.e., sdb1 [the usb stick] instead of sda1 [the hdd]...as examples) | 17:54 |
| drc | Not sure why installing from a USB sick defaults to the USB stick, but.... | 17:55 |

| Guest5674 | well yes | 17:56 |
| Guest5674 | im installing from usb | 17:56 |
| drc | Guest5674: Re-install...pay close attentionto the appropriate screen (iirc, it's the partition screen, at the bottom) where it asks you where you want to install the bootloader. | 17:58 |
| Guest5674 | i need to choose a different device to install the bootloader | 17:58 |
| drc | yes | 17:58 |
| Guest5674 | now its asking me to choose another device | 17:58 |
| Guest5674 | which should be it? | 17:58 |
| drc | Is this a single OS (xubuntu only) or a dual boot (say, windows and xubuntu) | 17:59 |
| Guest5674 | should it be /dev/sda | 17:59 |
| Guest5674 | its shared with windows 7 | 18:00 |

| holstein | Guest5674: i wouldnt guess at the partitions | 18:02 |
| holstein | Guest5674: you can always *not* install a boot loadaer and do it later | 18:02 |
| holstein | Guest5674: i would suggest you have all your data backed up, and windows either mirrored or be prepared to reinstall if errors occur | 18:03 |
| holstein | installing a bootloader for dualboot is not that big of a deal though assuming something has gone wrong.. i always reference | 18:03 |
| holstein | !grub | 18:03 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 18:03 |
| holstein | there are how-to's for "restoring grub using a live CD | 18:03 |
| FounderOf420 | yea the xubuntu installer defaults to the usb disk for some reason :/ almost caught me off guard as well | 18:04 |
| autif | does anyone know what package I need to install to 'use REST::Client;' in perl? I can't seem to be able to find it | 18:16 |
| Guest5674 | i dont want to screw it up | 18:24 |
| holstein | Guest5674: correct.. and what i suggest is, plan for having already screwed it up, and you'll be fine.. know how to recover windows. the windows MBR.. grub from a live CD.. whatever you might "screw up" | 18:25 |
| Guest5674 | ok | 18:26 |
| jessejazza | I'm trouble playing DVD on 12.04 - there's something i've overlooked. I've installed the codecs package. | 19:52 |

| jessejazza | it is a commercial DVD i'm trying to play - legitimate and paid for! | 20:05 |
| unheeding | there's your problem | 20:07 |
| unheeding | this is why i pirate | 20:07 |
| jessejazza | dvdcss, libdvdcss seem deprecated from wehat i can see. xubuntu-restriced-extras and libdvdread4 would appear to be what's required | 20:08 |
| knome | unheeding, i encourage to stop there with that subject | 20:09 |
| unheeding | oh i knome ;) | 20:10 |
| Unit193 | DVD is in the repo, but comes with a script to install libdvdcss3 from medibuntu repos. | 20:13 |
| SkippersBoss | http://packages.medibuntu.org/precise/index.html | 20:14 |
| Unit193 | Alright SkippersBoss, you win there, it is dvdcss2... | 20:15 |
| SkippersBoss | yes and what is my price ?? | 20:24 |
| SkippersBoss | lol | 20:24 |
| knome | SkippersBoss, a work item on the xubuntu docs | 20:24 |
| SkippersBoss | ai, i should have known | 20:25 |
| SkippersBoss | still trying to fire up XFburn without a burner.. :-( it crashed | 20:26 |
| jarson | how the hell do you set the default windows manger on xfce? | 20:26 |
| knome | jarson, please watch the language | 20:26 |
| jarson | got a broken laptop after an update that no longer has a windows manager | 20:26 |
| hermanlf | Problem: I am running xubuntu 12.04 and when I launch "Home" folder it gives me a Launch Error of "The folder could not be opened" | 21:25 |
| hermanlf | This happens only on the first launch of every reboot. | 21:26 |
| drc | I'm betting this is related to the delayed Thunar opening after a re/new boot. Try this: Uninstall gvfs-backends (you can re-install it if it doesn't work or you really need it), reboot. | 21:29 |
| hermanlf | k, lemmee try | 21:30 |
| hermanlf | yup, you nailed it. That works great. Thanks. | 21:33 |
| drc | good | 21:33 |
| Ironsight | So umm, anyone know a fix where you apply a mouse cursor theme and it doesn't work on all the apps you run? | 21:53 |
| Ironsight | I found a nice one on xfce-look and it doesn't display the cursor on half my apps :/ | 21:54 |
| well_laid_lawn | Ironsight: if you are using ~/.xinitrc to start fluxbox you can see if adding xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr & to it will help | 21:59 |
| well_laid_lawn | xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr & | 21:59 |
| Ironsight | o.O fluxbox? | 22:00 |
| Ironsight | I'm using xfce :D | 22:00 |
| well_laid_lawn | oops wrong channel | 22:01 |
| Ironsight | it's cool :) | 22:01 |
| Ironsight | (Fluxbox is cool though) | 22:01 |
| well_laid_lawn | cursors always work everywhere here, is it just the one theme that fails? | 22:01 |
| Ironsight | I don't know, let me try another theme | 22:02 |
| Ironsight | the lion one failed... | 22:02 |
| well_laid_lawn | bad theme then? | 22:02 |
| Ironsight | nope, just tried them all | 22:03 |
| Ironsight | the theme doesn't change on some apps | 22:03 |
| Ironsight | like gtk | 22:03 |
| well_laid_lawn | just to check, how are you changing the mouse cursor theme? | 22:04 |
| Ironsight | menu>settings>settings manager>mouse and touchpad>theme | 22:04 |
| well_laid_lawn | should be good then... | 22:04 |
| Ironsight | looks like it's a known issue still (I guess for the last 5 years) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/157447 | 22:05 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 967189 in xfce4-settings (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #157447 Changing mouse theme randomly works" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 22:05 |
| Ironsight | I'll just go with the default for now :) | 22:06 |
| Ironsight | ahh, this might help me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1974227 | 22:07 |
