| mchammer | hi there | 09:58 |
| mchammer | got a small problem: after an xconf-issue my theme/style is set to the default xface-style | 09:59 |
| mchammer | and i can't change it back to greyboard | 09:59 |
| mchammer | *greybird | 09:59 |
| mchammer | i can't change the style at all | 09:59 |
| mchammer | can anybody help me with taht? | 09:59 |
| mchammer | same for icons etc | 10:00 |
| mchammer | everything appearance-related | 10:00 |
| TheSheep | "an xconf-issue"? | 10:04 |
| mchammer | had a dual-monitor xconf | 10:06 |
| mchammer | started xubuntu with one monitor only | 10:07 |
| mchammer | couldnt find any monitors | 10:07 |
| mchammer | had to create a new xconf and so on | 10:07 |
| mchammer | thing is: i'm a linux noob | 10:07 |
| mchammer | and i don't know where to start looking | 10:07 |
| mchammer | google didnt help | 10:07 |
| blackgatonegro | well ubuntu does have forum and guides | 10:08 |
| blackgatonegro | first thing you should do after install of xubuntu is install xubuntu restricted drivers | 10:08 |
| blackgatonegro | next intall the privative video card driver | 10:08 |
| mchammer | ye | 10:09 |
| blackgatonegro | then just install the programs you want, like I dunno, pidgin, libreoffice? | 10:09 |
| mchammer | i got that all running | 10:09 |
| mchammer | with my nvidia | 10:09 |
| mchammer | everything was fine | 10:09 |
| mchammer | then i tried to use my laptop without my external | 10:09 |
| mchammer | and shit hit the fan :F | 10:09 |
| blackgatonegro | http://linux.about.com/od/xubuntu_doc/a/xubudg31t01.htm | 10:10 |
| blackgatonegro | is xubuntu installed in the external? | 10:10 |
| blackgatonegro | cause that would like, explain it | 10:10 |
| mchammer | yes | 10:10 |
| mchammer | i got both monitors working again | 10:10 |
| mchammer | my problem now is: i can't get my styles/icons back to work | 10:11 |
| mchammer | its all default-xfce | 10:11 |
| mchammer | and not greybird | 10:11 |
| blackgatonegro | well, you can install the theme again | 10:16 |
| blackgatonegro | unfortunately, xfce has that bug, one bad log off and it reverts to default | 10:17 |
| TheSheep | blackgatonegro: really? tell me more about that | 10:23 |
| mchammer | okay and how do i install it back again? | 10:23 |
| mchammer | i still got the list with all themes | 10:23 |
| mchammer | bit when i click on a style, nothing happens | 10:23 |
| TheSheep | mchammer: do you have a .gtkrc or .gtkrc-2.0 file in your home directory? | 10:24 |
| TheSheep | mchammer: you need to enable showing hidden files in thunar to see them | 10:24 |
| Bartzy | hello :) | 10:24 |
| Bartzy | Can I create a keyboard shortcut to move tabs around in xfce4-terminal ? | 10:24 |
| mchammer | mom | 10:25 |
| TheSheep | Bartzy: not really | 10:25 |
| Bartzy | TheSheep, Bummber , It's possible with gnome terminal :) | 10:25 |
| TheSheep | Bartzy: you can use the gnome terminal with xubuntu just fine | 10:26 |
| Bartzy | bummer* | 10:26 |
| Bartzy | I won't need to install half of gnome ? | 10:26 |
| TheSheep | Bartzy: you probably will | 10:26 |
| Bartzy | I don't like that :) | 10:26 |
| mchammer | no, i only got .gtk-bookmarks | 10:26 |
| TheSheep | mchammer: so what did you exactly change, only /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 10:27 |
| mchammer | as i said i had problems starting xfce, so i went into the console and wrote a new xonf-file via some nvidia tool | 10:29 |
| mchammer | cant remember its name | 10:30 |
| TheSheep | I have no idea what "xonf-file" is | 10:30 |
| mchammer | xconf | 10:30 |
| mchammer | sorry | 10:30 |
| TheSheep | nope, doesn't help | 10:30 |
| mchammer | hmm | 10:33 |
| mchammer | thx anyway | 10:33 |
| mchammer | no time for this right now | 10:34 |
| blackgatonegro | TheSheep, well, there is something called settings manager" | 10:38 |
| blackgatonegro | mchammer, well, there is something called settings manager, you can change the theme and lots of settings using it | 10:50 |
| TheSheep | blackgatonegro: that's what he was using | 10:53 |
| blackgatonegro | TheSheep, maybe you could do a xubuntu partition in the computer you are using, using a external HD is usually not the best idea for xubuntu | 10:55 |
| blackgatonegro | wait, that was mchammer? | 10:55 |
| blackgatonegro | ??? | 10:55 |
| blackgatonegro | mchammer, maybe you could do a xubuntu partition in the computer you are using, using a external HD is usually not the best idea for xubuntu, unless you never plug it off, and that kinda defeats the purpose of having a external HD. | 10:56 |
| blackgatonegro | mchammer , if you want some kind of portable linux, there are other linux distros that do that. | 10:58 |
| TheSheep | blackgatonegro: please stop giving horrible advice | 10:58 |
| blackgatonegro | ok | 10:58 |
| mchammer | sorry | 11:02 |
| mchammer | was afk | 11:02 |
| mchammer | no external drive | 11:02 |
| mchammer | and yes, i used the settings manager | 11:03 |
| mchammer | and i can click on all the themes/styles | 11:03 |
| mchammer | but nothing happens | 11:03 |
| TheSheep | mchammer: can you check if it actually changes the settings in the file? | 11:04 |
| TheSheep | mchammer: you can check it with gconf-editor | 11:05 |
| mchammer | where is it located? | 11:06 |
| TheSheep | sorry | 11:06 |
| TheSheep | that's xfce4-settings-editor | 11:06 |
| TheSheep | just open a terminal and type 'xfce4-settings-editor' | 11:07 |
| mchammer | okay im in it | 11:08 |
| mchammer | and now? | 11:08 |
| TheSheep | the gtk and icon themes are under xsettings, the xfwm theme is under xfwm4 | 11:08 |
| mchammer | thx ill look | 11:08 |
| TheSheep | try changing it in the settings manager and see if it changes in that settings editor | 11:08 |
| mchammer | okay | 11:09 |
| mchammer | it changes the name | 11:11 |
| mchammer | in the settings editor | 11:11 |
| TheSheep | ok, so the settings work, just are ignored for some reason | 11:13 |
| mchammer | yea | 11:15 |

| aperson | hi! I recently installed xubuntu-desktop and removed most of the remnants of kde off my system. I now find that lightdm does not work. I've tried fresh lightdm configs to no avail. I am using gdm right now, but I'd like to go back to lightdm. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction on where to start? | 17:07 |
| baizon | aperson: you need the xubuntu lightdm package | 17:13 |
| aperson | I see there is the gtk one and the qt one, but nothing specifically mentions xubuntu, baizon | 17:14 |
| aperson | I'm assuming you mean lightdm-gtk-greeter ? | 17:14 |
| GridCube | aperson, yes | 17:16 |
| GridCube | aperson, whats the problem exactly? | 17:16 |
| aperson | lightdm just fails to start | 17:16 |
| GridCube | mmmmhmm so you dont get to the greeter, but you do get to the gdm greeter? | 17:17 |
| baizon | hmm | 17:17 |
| aperson | after I installed gdm and set that as the new default, gdm works fine | 17:17 |
| GridCube | ok | 17:18 |
| aperson | I remember trying to start lightdm from a tty, but it spat out some error that I failed to capture | 17:18 |
| GridCube | have you done a sudo apt-get purge lightdm && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove | 17:18 |
| aperson | the gtk greeter package was already installed, btw | 17:18 |
| aperson | GridCube, I had apt write new configs for lightdm | 17:19 |
| aperson | so everything in /etc/lightdm/ is brand new | 17:20 |

| Catbuntu | How can I remove it from the software sources? Editing sources.list as always | 18:30 |
| Catbuntu | ? | 18:30 |
| holstein | i do that, or i install synaptic and do it in that GUI.. i like synaptic and usually just install it | 18:30 |
| baizon | or removing sources.d/<file> | 18:30 |
| Catbuntu | I'll see if it's on sources.d | 18:30 |
| Catbuntu | holstein, wait, Synaptic has a sources.list GUI manager? | 18:30 |
| holstein | settings - repositories | 18:31 |
| Catbuntu | Thanks, didn't know that | 18:32 |
| Catbuntu | I really never used Synaptic, I preffer command line | 18:32 |
| Catbuntu | But that's cool :D | 18:32 |
| holstein | Catbuntu: either way... you should get the same results.. also there is ppa-purge from the commandline | 18:33 |
| holstein | !ppa-purge | 18:33 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 18:33 |
| Catbuntu | But that's not a PPA | 18:34 |

| JND314 | folks, good afternoon. | 20:43 |
| JND314 | I've spent some time now trying to get xubuntu to boot after I've installed it on my new lenovo c30 workstation. | 20:44 |
| JND314 | it would appear that I have now seen a similar pb with ubuntu, ubuntu-gnome, and xubuntu. | 20:44 |
| JND314 | I think its a grub problem. | 20:44 |
| JND314 | I have a thinkstation c30, bios rev A1KT40AUS, secure boot is not enabled, UEFI boot mode is on auto. Its a spanking new computer, complete wipe of the drive for *ubuntu install. | 20:46 |
| JND314 | I prefer xubuntu. | 20:46 |
| JND314 | I've burned dvds on my mac of iso files whose md5sum I've double checked. | 20:47 |
| JND314 | oddly, while ubuntu-gnome and xubuntu don't come up after install, ubuntu did, once, and now it doesnt. | 20:47 |
| JND314 | I have not bricked my box (whew), I'm in the bios config now. | 20:47 |
| JND314 | If there's anyone who knows grub or some why I can even get to my drive then I will have a lot of info to work with. | 20:48 |
| knome | JND314, i have to say i don't know if this has to do with UEFI, but on my new laptop, i had to create a small (few hundred megs) partition at the beginning of the drive to get xubuntu working | 20:49 |
| JND314 | let me say that I when I do an install, I use 12.10 iso binaries (let's say xubuntu) on a dvd. I install with a clean install (wipe) of the os, enable LVM, | 20:49 |
| knome | JND314, this is what the laptop had when it had windows preinstalled | 20:50 |
| JND314 | and the process is completely smooth. On reboot grub seems to fall thru all the way to my network loader, which is null. | 20:50 |
| JND314 | knome, oh? | 20:50 |
| knome | JND314, yup. a samsung series 5, if that helps you debug this at all | 20:51 |
| JND314 | I've been reading about the samsung laptop issue. | 20:52 |
| knome | JND314, is your a samsung too? | 20:52 |
| JND314 | I don't think that I have the same pb. | 20:52 |
| knome | what's your model? | 20:52 |
| JND314 | I have a thinkstation c30 | 20:52 |
| knome | oh right, you said that already. silly me... | 20:53 |
| JND314 | if you scroll up a bit I've given some details on this. | 20:53 |
| JND314 | no worries. | 20:53 |
| knome | yeah, i don't think i can help much | 20:53 |
| knome | have you asked about this in #ubuntu? | 20:53 |
| JND314 | I'm inclined, if I can figure it out or get help, to edit my grub config | 20:53 |
| knome | since this isn't a xubuntu-specific issue, they might be able to help too, even if you're installing xubuntu | 20:53 |
| JND314 | well, I'm headed down that road, too. | 20:54 |
| JND314 | its *really* odd that ubuntu booted fine yday after its install | 20:54 |
| knome | ok, just so you know: generally it's not encouraged to crosspost | 20:54 |
| JND314 | but today, after another fresh install, it does not. | 20:54 |
| JND314 | I'm aware. | 20:54 |
| JND314 | but when there's no help its fair to move on. | 20:54 |
| knome | yeah. nothing personal, just pointing out :) | 20:55 |
| JND314 | the good folks at ubuntu-gnome didn't really know, and now I see that it wasn't specific to them I've come here. | 20:55 |
| JND314 | yep. no pb. | 20:55 |
| knome | yeah. sounds wonky though. | 20:55 |
| JND314 | yeah, in fact only after I jumped on this chat did ubuntu not come up, although I expected it to. | 20:56 |
| JND314 | its oddly consistent. and my box isn't bricked. | 20:56 |
| JND314 | I think its grub. | 20:56 |
| JND314 | I think. | 20:56 |
| Riley88 | hey guys is anyone here good with uefi i tried to duel boot ubuntu 12.10 but couldnt get grub to show up | 21:07 |
| Riley88 | i already turned of secure boot in the bios | 21:07 |
| Riley88 | i heard 12.04 is supposed to have better uefi support | 21:08 |
| Riley88 | is anyone here | 21:09 |
| baizon | Riley88: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting | 21:10 |
| baizon | you watched there? | 21:10 |
| Riley88 | i read that already still couldnt get grub to show up | 21:10 |
| Riley88 | i just wanted a 50gig partition for games so i was just going to choose install along side of windows7 when i did it sunday on ubuntu 12.10 grub wouldnt show up and i ended up nuking my win7 install because the partition got messed up | 21:17 |
| JND314 | my cxn is up and down as I'm switching between networks | 21:20 |
| JND314_ | I'm going to make a guess that grub is not being installed on my hd. | 21:44 |
| JND314_ | if it is installed then its not pointing to the right file. | 21:44 |
| JND314_ | in grub I clearly see prefix=(cd0)/boot/grub, and I can cat (hd0)/boot/grub/grub.cfg | 21:45 |
| JND314_ | fyi the grub_platform=efi | 21:46 |
| JND314_ | now I'm thinking that the Intel Boot Agent (GE V1.3.72) is preempting grub | 22:06 |
| JND314_ | link describing about what I see: http://askubuntu.com/questions/141879/error-1962-no-opertating-system-found-after-installing-12-04-lenevo-thinkcentre | 22:15 |
| subman | Does Xubuntu not support screen captures? I tried with Alt+PrintScr and nothing happens | 22:56 |
| a5m0 | i have one computer that's on 3.7.0-4 and one that's on 3.5.0-19 and they both claim they're up to date, any ideas what's up? | 23:24 |
