[10:00] same for icons etc [10:00] everything appearance-related [10:04] "an xconf-issue"? [10:06] had a dual-monitor xconf [10:07] started xubuntu with one monitor only [10:07] couldnt find any monitors [10:07] had to create a new xconf and so on [10:07] thing is: i'm a linux noob [10:07] and i don't know where to start looking [10:07] google didnt help [10:08] well ubuntu does have forum and guides [10:08] first thing you should do after install of xubuntu is install xubuntu restricted drivers [10:08] next intall the privative video card driver [10:09] ye [10:09] then just install the programs you want, like I dunno, pidgin, libreoffice? [10:09] i got that all running [10:09] with my nvidia [10:09] everything was fine [10:09] then i tried to use my laptop without my external [10:09] and shit hit the fan :F [10:10] http://linux.about.com/od/xubuntu_doc/a/xubudg31t01.htm [10:10] is xubuntu installed in the external? [10:10] cause that would like, explain it [10:10] yes [10:10] i got both monitors working again [10:11] my problem now is: i can't get my styles/icons back to work [10:11] its all default-xfce [10:11] and not greybird [10:16] well, you can install the theme again [10:17] unfortunately, xfce has that bug, one bad log off and it reverts to default [10:23] blackgatonegro: really? tell me more about that [10:23] okay and how do i install it back again? [10:23] i still got the list with all themes [10:23] bit when i click on a style, nothing happens [10:24] mchammer: do you have a .gtkrc or .gtkrc-2.0 file in your home directory? [10:24] mchammer: you need to enable showing hidden files in thunar to see them [10:24] hello :) [10:24] Can I create a keyboard shortcut to move tabs around in xfce4-terminal ? [10:25] mom [10:25] Bartzy: not really [10:25] TheSheep, Bummber , It's possible with gnome terminal :) [10:26] Bartzy: you can use the gnome terminal with xubuntu just fine [10:26] bummer* [10:26] I won't need to install half of gnome ? [10:26] Bartzy: you probably will [10:26] I don't like that :) [10:26] no, i only got .gtk-bookmarks [10:27] mchammer: so what did you exactly change, only /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [10:29] as i said i had problems starting xfce, so i went into the console and wrote a new xonf-file via some nvidia tool [10:30] cant remember its name [10:30] I have no idea what "xonf-file" is [10:30] xconf [10:30] sorry [10:30] nope, doesn't help [10:33] hmm [10:33] thx anyway [10:34] no time for this right now [10:38] TheSheep, well, there is something called settings manager" [10:50] mchammer, well, there is something called settings manager, you can change the theme and lots of settings using it [10:53] blackgatonegro: that's what he was using [10:55] 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] wait, that was mchammer? [10:55] ??? [10:56] 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. [10:58] mchammer , if you want some kind of portable linux, there are other linux distros that do that. [10:58] blackgatonegro: please stop giving horrible advice [10:58] ok [11:02] sorry [11:02] was afk [11:02] no external drive [11:03] and yes, i used the settings manager [11:03] and i can click on all the themes/styles [11:03] but nothing happens [11:04] mchammer: can you check if it actually changes the settings in the file? [11:05] mchammer: you can check it with gconf-editor [11:06] where is it located? [11:06] sorry [11:06] that's xfce4-settings-editor [11:07] just open a terminal and type 'xfce4-settings-editor' [11:08] okay im in it [11:08] and now? [11:08] the gtk and icon themes are under xsettings, the xfwm theme is under xfwm4 [11:08] thx ill look [11:08] try changing it in the settings manager and see if it changes in that settings editor [11:09] okay [11:11] it changes the name [11:11] in the settings editor [11:13] ok, so the settings work, just are ignored for some reason [11:15] yea [11:51] всем привет! есть русские в конфе? === Barnabas_ is now known as BarnabasDK [13:17] Привет!!!!!

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? [17:13] aperson: you need the xubuntu lightdm package [17:14] I see there is the gtk one and the qt one, but nothing specifically mentions xubuntu, baizon [17:14] I'm assuming you mean lightdm-gtk-greeter ? [17:16] aperson, yes [17:16] aperson, whats the problem exactly? [17:16] lightdm just fails to start [17:17] mmmmhmm so you dont get to the greeter, but you do get to the gdm greeter? [17:17] hmm [17:17] after I installed gdm and set that as the new default, gdm works fine [17:18] ok [17:18] I remember trying to start lightdm from a tty, but it spat out some error that I failed to capture [17:18] have you done a sudo apt-get purge lightdm && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove [17:18] the gtk greeter package was already installed, btw [17:19] GridCube, I had apt write new configs for lightdm [17:20] so everything in /etc/lightdm/ is brand new === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [18:28] ohai [18:28] !hi | Catbuntu [18:28] Catbuntu: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu!

[18:29] Butttt I have a question [18:29] I added the Granola repo installing a package [18:30] How can I remove it from the software sources? Editing sources.list as always [18:30] ? [18:30] i do that, or i install synaptic and do it in that GUI.. i like synaptic and usually just install it [18:30] or removing sources.d/ [18:30] I'll see if it's on sources.d [18:30] holstein, wait, Synaptic has a sources.list GUI manager?

[20:44] 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] it would appear that I have now seen a similar pb with ubuntu, ubuntu-gnome, and xubuntu. [20:44] I think its a grub problem. [20:46] 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] I prefer xubuntu. [20:47] I've burned dvds on my mac of iso files whose md5sum I've double checked. [20:47] oddly, while ubuntu-gnome and xubuntu don't come up after install, ubuntu did, once, and now it doesnt. [20:47] I have not bricked my box (whew), I'm in the bios config now. [20:48] 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. [20:49] 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] 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, [20:50] JND314, this is what the laptop had when it had windows preinstalled [20:50] 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] knome, oh? [20:51] JND314, yup. a samsung series 5, if that helps you debug this at all [20:52] I've been reading about the samsung laptop issue. [20:52] JND314, is your a samsung too? [20:52] I don't think that I have the same pb. [20:52] what's your model? [20:52] I have a thinkstation c30 [20:53] oh right, you said that already. silly me... [20:53] if you scroll up a bit I've given some details on this. [20:53] no worries. [20:53] yeah, i don't think i can help much [20:53] have you asked about this in #ubuntu? [20:53] I'm inclined, if I can figure it out or get help, to edit my grub config [20:53] since this isn't a xubuntu-specific issue, they might be able to help too, even if you're installing xubuntu [20:54] well, I'm headed down that road, too. [20:54] its *really* odd that ubuntu booted fine yday after its install [20:54] ok, just so you know: generally it's not encouraged to crosspost [20:54] but today, after another fresh install, it does not. [20:54] I'm aware. [20:54] but when there's no help its fair to move on. [20:55] yeah. nothing personal, just pointing out :) [20:55] 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] yep. no pb. [20:55] yeah. sounds wonky though. [20:56] yeah, in fact only after I jumped on this chat did ubuntu not come up, although I expected it to. [20:56] its oddly consistent. and my box isn't bricked. [20:56] I think its grub. [20:56] I think. [21:07] 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] i already turned of secure boot in the bios [21:08] i heard 12.04 is supposed to have better uefi support [21:09] is anyone here [21:10] Riley88: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting [21:10] you watched there? [21:10] i read that already still couldnt get grub to show up [21:17] 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 [21:20] my cxn is up and down as I'm switching between networks [21:44] I'm going to make a guess that grub is not being installed on my hd. [21:44] if it is installed then its not pointing to the right file. [21:45] in grub I clearly see prefix=(cd0)/boot/grub, and I can cat (hd0)/boot/grub/grub.cfg [21:46] fyi the grub_platform=efi [22:06] now I'm thinking that the Intel Boot Agent (GE V1.3.72) is preempting grub [22:15] link describing about what I see: http://askubuntu.com/questions/141879/error-1962-no-opertating-system-found-after-installing-12-04-lenevo-thinkcentre [22:56] Does Xubuntu not support screen captures? I tried with Alt+PrintScr and nothing happens [23:24] 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? [23:43] hello everyone [23:44] anyone can tell me how I can install more compiz effect on xubuntu v12.10?
