xenophilerJust wanted to come in here and say how great this new version of Xubuntu is. I'm really enjoying it. Just came from Mac OS X. Xubuntu is making this old laptop SCREAM!!!  Thank you02:32
hermanlfI have compiz installed on xubuntu 12.04.  When I click on an application running on another workspace, it does not switch to that workspace.  Any ideas?02:47
holsteinother than disabling compiz... not really02:47
hermanlfbummer.  I wouldn't use compiz if hardware acceleration was working without it. I'm am using the troublesome intel/Nvidia setup using bumblebee.02:49

bcwHello.  I have a question about Xubuntu 12.04.  The login screen doesn't show any way to start an on-screen keyboard.  Should it?07:31
bcwAs in, did I miss something during the install?07:31
bcw I have a question about Xubuntu 12.04.  The login screen doesn't show any way to start an on-screen keyboard.  Should it?07:39
TheMasterI have no idea, but I thought there were a couple things at the top right corner that are related.07:44
bcwThe controls at the top right do have accessibility entries, but not for a keyboard.07:47
bcwIn prior versions, that option was there.07:47
bcwI can't use my tablet without that.07:47

dystopiandriftCan I somehow dist upgrade to amd64 from x86? I have a 64 bit processor.. so that is not the issue.. Just installed x86 by mistake..11:06
dystopiandriftmaybe I should just reinstall? I have my home on a different partition.. so not a big huge deal.. just make a list of the software I need..11:09
Sysireinstall is much easier even if upgrade is technically possible11:13
Sysiunless you have 4GB (or more really) RAM you might as well keep x8611:14
dystopiandriftah, well I have 4GB..11:14
dystopiandriftbut, x86 is fast enough.. I haven't had any speed issues really.11:15
dystopiandriftperhaps x86 is more compatible in general? seems that way.11:16
Sysinowdays there shouldn't really be difference in support, but there isn't really speed difference either11:16
Sysiyou kan install -pae kernel to use all of your RAM, it just doesn't work for single application11:17
dystopiandriftwhat is the difference then?11:18
dystopiandriftx86 won't use all the RAM?11:19
z4nD4Rso no one have some ideas? :P11:52

slackerHey guys, i was just curious about the xubuntu release cycle. I would like to know if Xubuntu 12.10 will be released around the same time as Ubuntu 12.10 or if there will be a delay13:46
baizonslacker: all ubuntu devirates got the same release date as ubuntu13:51
slackerbaizon, thank you13:51
baizon*derivate*13:51
baizonnp13:51
baizononly if something bad happens then a delay can happen, but that would be announced13:52
slackerYea, i guess i would see that in the RSS13:52
slackerLooking forward to XFCE 4.10 and the Greybird theme fixes13:52
baizonyep :)13:53
baizon4.10 is a good release13:53
anti-freezeI have it on my Arch, i love the MIME settings13:54
baizon<- loving the tiling feature14:01
anti-freezeYea, biggest thing for me is the speed of XFCE over all the other DE's14:11

aicasnhi all. i'm sending a drive back to WD for warranty replacement. I want to wipe it first. The drive has many, many bad sectors on it. I'm doing  "ddrescue -nv --force --direct /dev/sdc /dev/null  sdc.log" to generate the logfile then "ddrescue -nv --force --direct --fill=+ /dev/random /dev/sdc sdc.log" to fill good sectors with garbage. Is that a decent way or am I wasting my time?20:53
orangestarI'm getting an error on a partially-new Xubuntu install. When I click the app menu I get a dialogue saying "Failed to load the applications menu; Error on line 1 char 1: Document was empty or contained only whitespace"21:07
