[00:18] puff: hmm, a laptop.. MAYBE you might need to disabled the on-die graphics - do you have a dedicated adapter, or the built-in one with shared system memory? [00:18] that could be the issue, one of the two above [00:19] I'm not sure what either of those is :-). [00:19] .. if it's loading both drivers on boot; or if the shared-memory setup/card is scr3wing with it [00:19] Okay, some new data... swapped the displayport cable for the vga cable, plugged directly into the thinkpad. On the up side, this time the dell monitor actually woke up and said it was receiving a VGA signal. On the down side, now I odn't even get a GUI login screen. [00:20] v1adimir: Good question... I have no idea where I'd find the answer to that. [00:20] puff: sorry I would have to search for it also, but just thought maybe it's something like that [00:20] lsmod shows both vesafb and nvidia modules. [00:21] Guess it's tiem to blow away xorg.conf again. [00:23] lspci -v | grep -i vga shows what?

[00:41] xubuntu580: As for minimized, I would guess you'd have to use some parameter in the command line of whatever actually does the autostart. [00:43] can you tell me how to do this? [00:55] xubuntu580: upper left corner of your screen is a button labeled Applications, click it and then Settings, Settings Manager. The settings window will pop up. The fourth-from-last icon is labeled "Sessions and Startup" [00:56] xubuntu580: Click "Sessiion and Startup", then select the tab labeled "Application Autostart" [00:57] xubuntu580: Find thunderbird in the list, make sure the checkbox at the left edge of the list is checked for thunderbird, then select the lnie and click on the "Edit" button below the list. [00:59] xubuntu580: Then figure out the command-line option to start thunderbird minimized, and add it to the "Command:" field in the edit box. [01:00] xubuntu580: I just took a quick look at google... This page mgiht be useful: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments_%28Thunderbird%29 [01:01] xubuntu580: Also, found one page that suggested "-silent" might do it.

[03:46] overtone: doesnt matter what other os's you have on the machine [03:47] overtone: i go to the manufacturer [03:47] so i install any XP driver, and that should work? [03:49] overtone: you can try it.. it really should never work, but sometimes it can [03:49] overtone: the manufacturer should provide a functioning driver for the operating system you are choosing to use.. but there are usually ways to get them working.. [03:50] so in my case, is the manufacturer hp? [03:51] or would it be intel, because i have an intel processor.... [03:52] overtone: What are you looking for? [03:52] i see you've just joined, so i'll explain again [03:52] i'm looking for a wireless driver that's compatible with xubuntu [03:53] i'm running dual-boot vista and xubuntu on a HP machine [03:53] lspci |grep ireless [03:53] and i've downlowded the app about windows wireless [03:53] i just need a wireless driver [03:53] overtone: for Linux?

[04:51] i'm fine with computers generally, but xubuntu is new to me [04:52] depends on what you are doing.. i say, just keep it simple.. and be patient and just ask here or in #ubuntu [04:52] alright [04:52] say what you want about ubuntu/cannonical.. the community is what keeps us all around here [04:53] i'd be more skeptical if you recommended i buy a book actually, because one of the reasons i've switched form windows is because it's open source lol [04:53] yup [04:53] thus, the reason i did xubuntu instead of lubuntu [04:53] who are you to this project, may i ask? [04:53] i bought a book.. "how linux works".. great read, but i could have gotten it all online [04:54] kk [04:54] i like having reference material like that, but it really depends.. i have some server specific books... etc [04:54] overtone: i am in a lot of support channels.. as a volunteer. i work a lot with ubuntustudio which has xfce as xubuntu does [04:55] ok sounds like that would come later, if at all [04:55] nice [04:55] well i appreciate the help [04:55] sleep time for now [04:55] overtone: anytime.. enjoy!

[20:47] kill and restart [20:47] kill xfce4-panel ; xfce4-panel [20:48] EvanCarroll, i mean the folder [20:49] that wont help to restore configs [20:49] .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml too isn't it? [20:49] it will just restart it [20:49] Unit193, probably [20:49] thats probably the one i was missing the other day [20:55] didn't work either. [20:55] fucking shit [20:55] this should not be this complex. [20:56] gconf-tool2 --recusive-unset /xfce4 should reset everything. [20:56] EvanCarroll, no cursing [21:04] EvanCarroll, just delete all the files under ~/.config/xfce4/ and relogin [21:04] aint that hard [21:04] I don't want to relogin [21:04] How do I do it without that. [21:04] you cant [21:04] deal with it [21:04] xfce4-panel -r [21:05] Unit193, that wont reset panels to default settings [21:05] he lost the settings, they need to be regenerated [21:05] I'd bet not, but if you wanted to do it without logging out and back in, that's as close as you'll get (and may not work at all. :P ) [21:06]
