[00:59] also there's this eeexubuntu thing i heard of, should i use it for my netbook instead? [00:59] thanks and sorry for spam :) [01:00] as far as I know eeexubuntu isn't maintained [01:00] so you're better off just using regular xubuntu on netbooks (I do) [01:01] the features of 12.10 are here, only you can decide if it's worth it for you :) http://xubuntu.org/news/12-10-release/ [01:01] xfce went from 4.8 to 4.10, which a lot of people were excited about [01:06] alrighty, thanks pleia, what netbook do you have btw if I may ask [01:06] Dell Mini9 [01:07] when you bought it did it come with windows? [01:07] no, it came with Ubuntu 8.04 [01:07] ah ok, cool [01:17] Question: is there a way to download the 3.6.3(latest stable) from a repository on Xubuntu? you know apt-get style. [01:21] the 3.6.3 what? [01:22] i guees im asking if there is an official repository for the latest stable LibreOffice. sorry [01:22] i missed that key word :S [01:23] LibreOffice for Xubuntu official repository with the latest stable release? Is there one? [01:24] Xubuntu doesn't come with libreoffice at all, so you'd be looking for an Ubuntu one [01:24] https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa seems to be the closest, but it looks like they just have 3.6.1 [01:25] oh... ok thanks. i can live with 3.6.1 [01:25] thank you very much. [01:25] welcome [01:59] jk [03:01] Hey quick question... In Gnome I used to be able to put my .desktop files in an autostart folder and they would launch when the login screen opened. How do I do this with lightdm in xubuntu 12.04? [03:09] K1rk|Work: i would just add whatever i want to the session startup [03:09] for xfce [03:09] holstein: but will that work prior to login? [03:10] maybe http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10495974/ways-to-add-programs-to-startup-in-ubuntu-by-commandline [03:11] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3913304/how-to-start-an-application-as-soon-as-the-x-start-up-in-ubuntu [03:22] Hey, does anyone know how well Xubuntu works on a Macbook Pro (Intel)? [03:32] alexm: try it live :) [03:34] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook [03:35] Yea I'll just try live CD thanks [10:44] Hello, I would like to create a readme ascii file. I see that leafpad both opens readme and readme.txt, my question: is it a common practice to use the .txt extension (in windows is), thank you! [10:46] Melsi, i think many just use "README" (case sensitive), but it's a matter of taste really [10:47] thank you very much! I will go with README because I would like to follow the most common/used practice! bye! [10:47] np [11:42] Hi friends, is anyone able to do voice call on pidgin for gtalk? [13:17] Hey, I've installed #xubuntu on my laptop and I am connecting a monitor over the VGA plug, how do I use my second monitor to extend my display? [13:17] Ankhwatcher, do you have arandr installed? [13:17] GridCube: yes [13:17] it's seems to screw stuff up though [13:18] open it and drag your windows the way you want to be [13:18] I don't think I'm using it right [13:18] can I run separate workspaces on each monitor? [13:18] also your laptop should have special keys to change the way it works [13:18] Ankhwatcher, you can not [13:19] how do I keep the laptop monitor as the default? [13:20] again, in arandr drag and drop it to the first place [13:22] GridCube: so the top left monitor is always the default? [13:25] yes [13:25] as i understand it === Nick is now known as Guest60163 [14:05] Hey lot. I'm having a problem with my Xubuntu installation [14:06] !ask [14:06] 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 [14:06] I have downloaded the desktop version, instaled it and it opened in commandline [14:10] When I looked it up on google they've told me to install ubuntu-desktop ad so I did. But when I rebooted it gave me an error: "ieee80211 phy0: >brcms_ops_bss_info_changed: enabled true, count 1 (implement) [14:10] well perhaps not an error, but it doesn't do anything from that line [14:18] why would you install the ubuntu-desktop over the xubuntu-desktop? wouldnt that override the xubuntu installation? [14:18] Because that's what the post had given me as solution === Guest60163 is now known as Elvano [14:22] well, i dont know wich desktop you are using then, because if you installed ubuntu-desktop it pulled all unity with it [14:22] so, no idea whats happening there [14:24] Well, to be honest, I've reformatted the disk and reinstalled it withouth installing the ubuntu desktop ans it still gives me that line [14:36] ok let me check [14:37] thats a wifi error [14:42] It has worked before, though.Otherwise I could've never installed the ubuntu-desktop at the previous install. [14:42] yep [14:42] i see [14:43] mmm i cant find anything useful on the net, you might have to wait for smarter people [14:45] I feel so stupid. Now that you've told me it's the network i can read the ieee80211 phy0.... Thank you for trying GridCube [15:05] Hi is a goog option for xubuntu install on a netbook with Intel Atom n270 single core?

[15:51] hello [15:52] i just installed xubuntu 12.10 on virtualbox, but have a couple of issues.. [15:52] shoot [15:53] 1 is I can't set the resolution to greater than 1024x768 in the settings manager [15:53] needs virtualbox addons [15:53] 2 is that the scroll wheel of my mouse doesn't seem to work. [15:53] ahh got it. [15:53] gonna set it up [15:53] thanks [15:54] :/ abiword its really getting to my nerves [15:54] use tex [15:55] tex... tex... never used tex [15:56] it's what the professional book editors use [15:56] GridCube: use latex === nyR3dnek is now known as nyRednek [15:56] actually, TheSheep is right [15:56] yeah, or context [15:57] actually, if you are just starting, context will be easier [15:57] that system is used at most publishing houses [15:57] i didn't know about context [15:57] nyRednek: it's a more humane approach :) [15:57] TheSheep: humane? typesetting? does not compute [15:58] * nyRednek 's head explodes [15:58] how about, no? [15:58] better ill get libreoffice instead [15:58] nyRednek: well, more modern, fixing some conceptual problems of latex [15:58] TheSheep: apt-get install context? [15:58] * nyRednek will try it [15:59] nyRednek: yeah [15:59] is there a good guide to using it? i've tried and failed with latex [16:00] let me be more clear, i've found latex cumbersome [16:00] if it needs a guide, its not a good program [16:00] * GridCube puts his little troll hat [16:01] nyRednek: http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/ms-cb-en.pdf [16:04] GridCube: sure, sure...do you know of a different way to write once, and maintain your text across multiple formats?(text for publisher, ebook, website) [16:05] pdf [16:05] GridCube: um, no...most pdf's don't translate well to epub [16:05] why would you need epub if you have pdf? [16:05] GridCube: sony reader, apple ibooks store [16:06] GridCube: barnes and noble's nook store [16:06] * nyRednek does use calibre for that conversion [16:07] mmmhm then use epub directly [16:07] i dont like epub [16:07] epub doesn't translate very well to pdf [16:07] its just for text and it doesnt look pretty [16:07] or for print [16:07] actually epubs can and often do include images [16:07] mmhm exactly, so pdf it is and you dont use faulty devices [16:07] omg I can scroll now. [16:08] nyRednek, yes, it it broken [16:08] they never fit where they are suppose to and the look bad [16:08] guys, how about we move that to a non-support channel? :) [16:08] GridCube: it's also the standard ebook format that the publishing industry has adopted [16:08] !ot | GridCube [16:08] GridCube, please see my private message [16:08] u_u ok === nyR3dnek is now known as nyRednek === kiran_ is now known as Kiranovotio [16:48] my wireless device not working [17:39] any one have an idea how to fix this problem when running an SDL program : usr/local/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0: undefined symbol: _XGetRequest [17:51] what is the xfce desktop manager called?

[18:13] yes [18:14] Caps Lock? Bad Memory? [18:14] the login screen wasnt coming up so i dpkg reconfigure xfwm4 [18:14] ok, so go to a tty, press ctrl-alt-f1, log in wit your user and password, you wont see you passwrod while you type, and they do rm .Xautority and rm .ICEauthority [18:15] .Xauthority and .ICEauthority [18:15] termibal login went fine [18:19] yay! I'm logged in and my machine can see it's soundcard again [18:19] thanks GridCube [18:22] no problem Ankhwatcher :) [18:23] how would I go about stopping all my previously running applications from being started when I log in? [18:24] Ankhwatcher, do you have nautilus installed? [18:24] not unless it's in default xubuntu, no [18:24] its not [18:25] so go to close a session and tick the "remember session" tick box, but have nothing open while doing so, it will remember that your session its empty and start that way, untick it afterward [18:26] now I do [18:27] can I use nautilus to prevent applications from being re-launched? [18:28] no, it will break things further [18:28] thats why its always my first question [18:50] Hi all [18:51] !hi | Mandex [18:51] Mandex: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu!

[21:12] I install tightvncserver onto Xubuntu 12.04 and every time I access it, I just get a grey screen with no desktop manager. I think it has something to do with ~/.vnc/xstartup.
