[00:31] <Zelouille> knome, i did not know who i was talking to. Thanks for your work on Xubuntu and the Albatross theme :)
[00:38] <knome> Zelouille, heh, no problem :)
[00:38] <knome> Zelouille, enjoy!
[03:36] <Pupuser> anybody have any idea whats up or down with the ubuntu mirrors been working on a minimal install and it cant access any of the mirrors
[03:37] <Pupuser> anything?>
[04:08] <well_laid_lawn> Pupuser: tried a different mirror?
[07:10] <Name141> How do you get to the hardware 'drivers' ?
[07:10] <Name141> as in, like AMD's (ATi) drivers
[07:10] <Name141> I guess what I'm asking is 'restricted drivers'
[07:11] <Unit193> Menu > Settings Manager > Software Sources
[07:14] <Name141> Unit193: says there are none in use (er.. well duh)
[07:15] <Name141> Unit193: do I need to check "Cronical partners" ?
[07:28] <tomanon> Having issues installing xubuntu 12.04.1 in EFI mode. I am using the xubuntu 12.04.1 64 bit alternate iso on a cd and fails to work
[07:28] <tomanon> I get a prefix paramater not set error
[07:30] <Unit193> Name141: Supposed to be able to install them under "Additional Drivers"
[09:36] <xubuntu678> hi all, can I ask a noob-question here?
[09:38] <xubuntu678> never mind, have a nice day :)
[10:39] <nikolam> I am so happy if it is right that xubuntu does not include ubuntuone by default ;)
[13:07] <blackgatonegro> Hello, How I change the default web browser in Xubuntu?
[13:16] <nehkz> I guess download the one you prefer and remove the old one.
[13:17] <knome> settings manager -> preferred applications
[13:23] <blackgatonegro> knome, some aplication still open chromium
[13:24] <knome> blackgatonegro, then that application is most probably flawed
[13:24] <knome> blackgatonegro, or needs a setting of its own
[13:27] <blackgatonegro> knome, ok thanks, manually changing every program to open with firefox is a pain but oh well...
[13:27] <knome> blackgatonegro, if they don't obey the system defaults, there's nothing we can do about that
[15:07] <Admetus> hello
[15:07] <Admetus> does anyone here play with cmus?
[15:10] <Admetus> I'd opened cmus in a terminal, closed it, and then ran it again in another terminal
[15:10] <Admetus> cmus: cmus is already listening on socket /home/james/.cmus/socket
[15:10] <Admetus> a noob humbly asks how to open that socket
[15:10] <blackgatonegro> sudo cmus stop
[15:10] <blackgatonegro> tried that?
[15:11] <Admetus> eh? no way to just open it again?
[15:11] <blackgatonegro> or try to close it with the task manager
[15:11] <blackgatonegro> you can close it, then open it again
[15:31] <xubuntu285> I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 64 Bit LTS virtual machin using Vware Workstation 9 on a Dell E6420 but Cant start the unity Mode, I tried both 2D and 3D getting error - Unity mode is not supported on this guets operating system
[15:31] <xubuntu285> Any Help?
[15:32] <blackgatonegro> xubuntu285, you need 3d acelaration for unity
[15:32] <blackgatonegro> xubuntu285, also a propietary driver
[15:33] <xubuntu285> I donwaloaded the latest drive the video card is Intel HD graphics Familly
[15:33] <xubuntu285> is is compatible?
[15:33] <blackgatonegro> xubuntu285, it may be that since you are virtualizing it, the computer just has not enough processing power
[15:35] <xubuntu285> Thanks what should be the enough power (I set it up with 5 Gb of Ram, and 50 Gb Had and 2 processor)
[15:52] <blackgatonegro> xubuntu285, well, try to virtualize the 32 bit version of ubuntu instead, and see if that one works. Also the #ubuntu channel is the one you should go. this is for Xubuntu.
[15:53] <blackgatonegro> xubuntu285, alternately, you could see a small particion for ubuntu, and just dual boot. Or use a second hard disk.
[16:05] <Admetus> been playing with cmus
[16:05] <Admetus> I like it
[16:06] <Admetus> thanks for your help earlier blackgatonegro
[16:36] <drc> Dis I see something on one of the IRC channels stating that alacarte was fixed (for 4.10) and backported to 12.10?

[17:03] <otend> err, I've managed to lose all title bars, the capacity to switch between virtual desktops, and proper window floating.  I think Xfwm broke.  wat do?

[19:05] <Bizeli> hi guys, I can't seem to find how to change the default port 5900 for the vino VNC server on xubuntu 12.04... it's not in vino-preferences and I can't find a config file
[21:54] <bar_> Hello :)
[21:54] <bar_> I really liked Ubuntu + XFCE!
[21:54] <bar_> Just what I looked for after moving from Debian + Gnome 2 to Ubuntu and Unity (and Gnome 3. God.)
[21:55] <bar_> But I just wanted to know - what's the difference between Ubuntu + installing xubuntu-desktop - and getting a xubuntu ISO from xubuntu.org ?
[22:00] <dbb> bar_ make two VirtualMachines and write up your observations!
[22:01] <dbb> btw- still interested in knowing the 'preferred' way to install a locale, for example iso88591
[22:01] <dbb> holstein was going to look into it... no word yet
[22:02] <bar_> dbb - can you help me realize the differences without doing that? :)
[22:02] <dbb> noep
[22:02] <bar_> there aren't any ?
[22:02] <dbb> in a previous life, there used to be a thing on another system called a 'language pack'.. I am *guessing* that when you install a localized language you get the locales for it
[22:03] <dbb> but there are a dozen small variations.. just wondering out loud, if I have en_US.iso88591 for example, the best or better way to install
[22:04] <dbb> looking at my commercial laptop from some California company, I see about 15 locales for english in all
[22:04] <bar_> dbb ? :(
[22:04] <dbb> C iso8859 iso885915 others
[22:05] <dbb> bar_ have you ever set up a Virtual Machine and loaded an operating system on it?
[22:05] <dbb> its very striaghtforward you know
[22:05] <bar_> yes
[22:05] <bar_> I just think it's a waste of time
[22:05] <bar_> if you can answer in a second :)
[22:05] <dbb> whose time?
[22:05] <bar_> well, mine...
[22:05] <dbb> I do not know the answer
[22:05] <bar_> ah, ok
[22:05] <bar_> I thought you did.
[22:06] <bar_> So if anybody knows what are the differences (if any) between xubuntu and ubuntu + xubuntu desktop... please share :)
