[00:29] Hello [00:30] Hmmmm is anyone here? [00:32] Hello [00:32] anyone here? [00:33] G dammit is there ever anyone on these dag nabber sites? [00:36] Hello [00:36] am I using this dam irc right or do I have to do something else to get help [00:37] this is bullshit [00:38] 8 hours fucking with xubuntu and cant even get an answer on a big mouth site, time to drop flunix and head back to a real operating sys [00:39] wonderworld you there? [00:41] Hello [01:18] Where oh where does Xubuntu get the modifier map shown by Xmodmap? I'm trying to use my own .Xmodmap file, but there are a bunch of modifiers already that I didn't set. See https://gist.github.com/4057016 . These in particular seem strange: [01:18] mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x6c), Meta_L (0xcd) [01:18] mod4 Super_L (0x85), Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf) [01:19] i.e. why would mod1 have both alts *and* one meta (and only one)? [01:20] and why would mod4 have two separate Super_Ls and one Hyper_L, but no Super_R or Hyper_R? [01:30] Gist updated [02:01] hi! [02:02] recent convert here. overall pretty happy so far. [02:06] hi scatharis [02:15] anyone ever seen an icon pack take up 21.5mb? [02:17] Where would I look for the "sudoers file"? [02:17] Ah, found it. [02:19] Strange, I don't remember having to edit this before. [02:21] !visudo [02:22] * ball is confused [02:23] ball: you use the visudo command to edit the sudoers file [02:24] or export $EDITOR=nano visudo [02:25] Looking at the file, I wonder if I need to just edit my group membership [02:26] sometimes that's all it takes [02:26] if I'm running the 32-bit distro, is everything compiled for generic i686 instructions and doesn't make any use of sse like extensions? [02:31] I may just give up and reinstall. === IdleOne is now known as ElliotNess === ElliotNess is now known as IdleOne [04:00] How can I remove bottom panel/dock in Xubuntu 12.10?

[07:41] Os_Maleus1: did you made an android update? [07:42] some of the forums are talking about mythtvfs. but such was never installed before. [07:42] I am having the Google Nexus i9250.

[07:46] :-o [07:53] Hello [07:53] When i installed xubuntu on my machine, my machine had 2 partitions on its HDD, C: and D: [07:54] When i chose the option install over windows XP, it replaced both partitions with one EXT4, you should specify this action in a window, as i was hoping only the C: will get replaced [07:54] Anyhow... [07:54] which version of FLASH and JAVASCRIPT should i get for my fresh new xubuntu installation? [09:48] I'm running 12.10, and my sound, which was working fine previously, has gone away [09:48] I have an hdmi card with nothing hooked up to it, and want to go back to using the built-in intel sound [09:49] pavucontrol is only seeing the hdmi card, although the kernel sees the intel card at boot [09:49] any suggestions? [09:58] is there any way to make adverts like the ones you see at the university to rent apparments? I mean a main body and at the bottom of it, 10 copies of the most relevant parts of the advert so that anybody can rip a copy of it [10:08] Hey all... Where is the Network Manager's password store?

[12:46] Carlinhos, your qt app doesnt have a style editor? like to choose the skin? [12:48] GridCube: It does and I have chosen GTK+ as the style [12:49] i see [12:50] let me do some research [12:57] sorry Carlinhos i dont seem to able to find a lead on this problem [12:58] Carlinhos, you could ask on #qt [13:14] I give up lol [13:17] DarkSim, ? [13:17] I tried to give Lxde a chance [13:17] but it was too ugly for me [13:18] First alternative DE I tried for Ubuntu was Xfce and I still like it the most [13:18] ah P: opinions [13:18] It's polished and you can change all kinds of things without having to feel like a neckbeard [13:19] ja [13:21] What is your favorite theme for Xfce?

[15:24] i like how the current theme looks [15:26] ok haha ill make the sacrafice [15:26] thanks guys!! [15:26] =) [15:40] Hm I can't seem to find something similar to a feature lxde had [15:41] I'll just look one more time through [15:45] DarkSim, what feature? [15:48] When I had a theme I could change a few more things with it [15:48] like...when you backlight boxes and stuff you click, the color of that [15:49] Because now it's blue and I can't seem to find where to change that if at all [15:50] and the start menu icon would be nice if I could customize it a tad more [15:51] but food is due, bbl [15:51] you should be able to easily drop in whatever "start menu" icon you want.. i might need a screenshot to know what the other requests are.. but its all able to be changed [16:03] hi [16:03] pleia2, are you here ? [16:03] Hiya - I had my USB-connected Canon PIXMA MX360 printer working properly for a while. I'm not sure if a cups update broke it or what happened, but the cups server recognizes it and it seems to install the proper driver from the database, but it will not print a test page. HELP!!! [16:05] bluesfreak72: sometimes i just start trying different drivers... i step through them in the GUI [16:05] ttoine: I'm working, but you can ask anyone here for help :) [16:07] holstein: I will give that a shot and let you know. I'll try all the PIXMA MX*** first. [16:08] holstein, a picture which can be stretched all over the button area? [16:10] DarkSim: its all open, so in theory, anything you care to take the time to discover can be done... i have not done that, and i might suggest trying something that works more as you want by default [16:10] i havent used a menu or dock much personally since kupfer (or synapse/gnome-do) [16:11] DarkSim: the button i dropped in for someone else stretched as i expected it to.. again, i think screenshots are helpful to fully understand what you have and what you want === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [16:50] Hm I tried a big panoramic picture and use that as a start menu icon but nope [16:50] it just scales it down so it's barely noticable [17:02] hello [17:02] !hi | Makdaam [17:02] Makdaam: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu!
