[01:54] <Nullvoid> hi all, how can I set nautilus to be the default file manager? The prefered applications menu isn't working.
[01:58] <drc> I wouldn't recomend it, but http://askubuntu.com/questions/74534/set-nautilus-as-default-file-manager-in-xubuntu
[02:00] <Nullvoid> drc: i'd be happy to stick with Thunar but it cant share files or folders
[02:01] <drc> Nullvoid: Can you say "gigolo" ?
[02:02] <Unit193> To help, that's a program name in the menu.
[02:02] <Nullvoid> drc: that cant share either, its just a fancy front end for connecting to other shares by the looks of it
[02:02] <Nullvoid> Unit193: ha yeah thx, i got that
[02:05] <Unit193> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1670223 just for an idea.
[02:09] <Nullvoid> Unit193: i've already got nautilus installed and used to to setup the shares and make sure everything is working, i've set it to default in the pref apps under system settings, but the desktop launcher wont respect the default settings and still launches Thunar. There is no way I've found to change the desktop shortcut to point to nautilus manually.
[02:10] <Nullvoid> Unit193: so I'm looking for a way to edit the default applications associations by hand
[02:10] <Unit193> Right, you logged out and back in again?  Xfdesktop may not like that as much, and there may be more to set in update-alternatives.
[02:13] <Nullvoid> yeah even rebooted, no change.
[04:13] <neoweng> Hello, everyone
[04:27] <neoweng> my laptop has installed Xubuntu12.04, and there's no sound from the speaker but I can hear the sound from the headset, does anyone hit the same problem?
[04:29] <isacking> hi , neoweng, I think you should ask this question in #ubuntu channel
[04:32] <Unit193> Why?  This is the Xubuntu support channel.
[04:32] <Unit193> neoweng: You unplug the headset?
[04:34] <neoweng> Unit, I can't hear the sound when unpluging the headset
[04:46] <Unit193> Alright, this is two different output jacks?
[04:46] <Unit193> Speakers are turned on?
[04:49] <neoweng> Yes, When I loged in the Windows system on the same laptop, the built-in speaker works normally, but there's no sound from it when on the xubuntu system
[04:50] <Unit193> I would check the pulseaudio control program, and in alsamixer for the correct levels.
[04:51] <Unit193> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting This as well.
[04:55] <pinkfrost> Hi, I have Xubuntu 12.04 and my desktop wallpaper keeps resetting to the default every time I log out, just wondering if anybody might know why
[04:57] <Unit193> Check permissions on your home folder items, more so of ~/.config  and I'd recommend deleteing ~/.cache  and making sure it's not set to save on logout.
[04:57] <Unit193> (Or you could set it to save on one logout, actually)
[04:58] <pinkfrost> thanks, checked the ownership on those but I'll try deleting the cache
[04:58] <pinkfrost> I turned on automatic session saving on logout but to no avil
[04:58] <pinkfrost> avail*
[04:59] <isacking> My system is Xubuntu 12.04 x64. After updated to newest kernel, I found my login dialog windows can not aligned to center. Dose anyone know what happened?
[05:19] <isacking> hi pinkfrost, I have meet the same problem like you.
[05:20] <pinkfrost> chromium asks me every time I log in if I should make it the default browser too
[05:20] <pinkfrost> upon starting it that is
[05:20] <isacking> pinkfrost: In fact, that picture is the background of login dialog.
[05:21] <pinkfrost> yeah
[05:22] <isacking> pinkfrost: Your can find the default picture, delete it and create a link file linking to the the picture you want.
[05:22] <pinkfrost> ooh
[05:22] <pinkfrost> good idea
[05:22] <pinkfrost> I wonder what causes it to occur initially
[05:24] <isacking> pinkfrost: The default picture is in /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops
[05:25] <pinkfrost> thanks!
[06:15] <hermanlf> how can I change the font size of window title bars?
[06:16] <isacking> ask +1
[06:18] <Unit193> isacking: Ask +1?
[06:18] <Unit193> hermanlf: Menu > Settings > Settings Manager > Window Manager
[06:20] <hermanlf> Unit193, : Window manager shows me no settings.  Do I have to install anything or is it because I am running compiz?
[06:21] <isacking> Unit193: I mean I have the same problem.
[06:21] <Sysi> for changing compiz settings you need compizconfig-settings-manager
[06:21] <Unit193> hermanlf: No settings at all?  That sounds a bit odd, I haven't used compiz, but I could give you a shot of what I do have.
[06:22] <hermanlf> yup, no settings in the window. Very odd indeed.
[06:22] <xubuntu814> Hello :)
[06:23] <isacking> xubuntu814: hello
[06:24] <xubuntu814> isacking: i'm rather inexperienced with linux other than ubuntu 11.04.
[06:24] <Sysi> or in window titlebar case it depends about what you use for decoration, you need to use emerald settings or gconf-editor
[06:24] <xubuntu814> that's ok for full desktops and computers.
[06:25] <hermanlf> I am using greybird
[06:25] <xubuntu814> my question is can i install/run xubuntu 12+ on an '01 compaq armada m300?
[06:26] <xubuntu814> p3m-600, 320mb ram, 40gb hdd, originally a dual-boot win nt4/win2k pro system.
[06:26] <isacking> Unit193: It works. I don't use compiz, either.
[06:28] <hermanlf> gonna disable compiz and see if those settings become available to me.
[06:29] <isacking> xubuntu814: Yes, you can.
[06:31] <hermanlf> didn't have to disable compiz.  Just changed settings using gconf-editor
[06:32] <isacking> xubuntu814: Thought, the CPU seems a bit slow.
[06:32] <xubuntu814> isacking:  cool :) any special considerations? i don't have the expansion unit, so i'll need to use unetbootin..
[06:34] <xubuntu814> idk if the m300 supports a faster p3m cpu. say a 700mhz+.
[06:36] <xubuntu814> i could probably use xubuntu 8+.
[06:37] <isacking> xubuntu814: My advice to your would be to try the newest xubuntu or vectorlinux.
[06:38] <xubuntu814> ok
[06:39] <xubuntu814> would wifi work, or will i need to tweak/configure a bit?
[06:41] <xubuntu814> i have a dlink pc card network adapter.
[06:41] <isacking> xubuntu814: It works without manually configuration if your device is general enough.
[06:42] <xubuntu814> it's a dlink air plus 54g.
[06:44] <xubuntu814> also have a netgear n150 usb network adapter if the dlink doesn't work.
[09:03] <hermanlf> I am unable to click on anything in the xubuntu workspace 2.  Only things I can click on are the menubar items at the top.
[09:33] <francesco_> hello!
[09:33] <francesco_> what's up?
[09:37] <TheSheep> !hi | francesco_
[11:18] <frowl> hello
[11:19] <frowl> is there someone who could maybe help me ?
[11:24] <knome> !someone | frowl
[15:46] <xubuntu1> Hi, anyone here that uses abiword and could help me find the equation editor? ...or is it gone in 12.04? :(
[17:52] <unheeding> I love xubuntu!
[17:55] <bluesabre> unheeding: Yeah!  +1
[18:25] <FounderOf420>  i installed openbox and fluxbox, launched a session of each just to test the water, now i am getting a 'broken pipe' error when i launch xfce
[19:32] <hermanlf> I have compiz enabled and so the default workspace switcher for xubuntu doesn't work.  What else can I use to show me the workspaces in the panel?
[19:32] <holstein> i used the one in compiz
[19:33] <hermanlf> you can install it in the panel?
[19:33] <holstein> i think i set up the cube and the slider one that i forget what its called
[19:33] <holstein> hermanlf: i dont remmber about the panel
[19:33] <hermanlf> I can switch panels just fine.  I would just like something that can show me the workspaces in the panel as well.
[19:34] <hermanlf> err switch workspaces that is.
[19:34] <holstein> i might have been using something in avant? i forget..
[19:34] <hermanlf> oh
[19:36] <holstein> i remember giving up on XFCE and compiz and it didnt have anything to do with that indicator... whats the default one do? did you add others from the default selection?
[19:36] <TheSheep> compiz has one large workspace
[19:37] <TheSheep> it just scrolls it
[19:37] <holstein> maybe i just deleted it... and didnt have one
[20:48] <boromir_> Hi. I'm having problems with Bluetooth on Xubuntu 12.04.  I can't send .mp3 files to my phone,or any music files.
[21:43] <Belserusk> What is the difference between flags and switches in a terminal command? Are they the same things?
[21:43] <GridCube> i would bet they are yes
[21:44] <Belserusk> GridCube, examples?
[21:45] <GridCube> say you do df, you can use df -H to get it to show the output in a different way, thats what i understand a switch
[21:46] <GridCube> but maybe you will recieve a more useful and comprehensive answer from the people at #bash Belserusk, they should know
[21:47] <Belserusk> Thank you GridCube.
[22:58] <slarty> is it advisable to update to 12.04 or stay with 11.10 for now?
[22:58] <holstein> if you want to update, you can.. no reason not to
[23:00] <slarty> thanks holstein, i had some small problems 11.04 to 11.10, namely sound is more difficult to manage (pulse audio control)
[23:01] <holstein> i *never* upgrade.. i usually test the upgrade proceedure to make sure it works on some machine, but i get a live CD, and test funcitonality, and fresh install 90% of the time
[23:02] <slarty> that was the first time I've upgraded - went OK but suspect there will be 'garbage' left behind... will do fresh install next time
[23:05] <holstein> for me, its an issue of time... best case, i get an upgrade done in 6 hours.... i can install in like 10 minutes, assuming i have my data backed up, its a breeze
[23:06] <slarty> good advice, thanks (was primarily just showing my son the benefits of IRC:)
[23:07] <holstein> also, if 11.10 is working, i say "if it aint broke".. really depends on what you are doing
[23:07] <holstein> if you want to stay with the LTS releases like i do, then you want 12.04 and sooner the better
[23:07] <holstein> if you want the latest version all the time, you might just want to wait a few months and install 12.10
[23:09] <slarty> I generally stick with LTS so will do fresh install soon.
[23:56] <xubuntu865> ciao
[23:56] <xubuntu865> ho bisogno di un consiglio
[23:56] <xubuntu865> ho 512mb di ram
[23:56] <xubuntu865> 768mb*
[23:56] <xubuntu865> xubuntu gira veloce o meglio lububtu?
[23:57] <holstein> !it
[23:57] <xubuntu865> tnx
[23:58] <holstein> either one should be fine.. i would try them both live, or install one and add the other desktop to it
[23:59] <xubuntu865> cant chat on !it room, it says "== Cannot send to channel: #ubuntu-it"
