[00:26] <JainAmber> Hello
[00:34] <JainAmber> How long are Xubuntu normal (e.g. 12.10) and LTS (e.g. 12.04) releases supported?
[00:37] <JainAmber> Ok, Xubuntu LTS releases are supported for 3 years (source: wikipedia)
[00:38] <JainAmber> and 12.10 will be supported for 18 months...
[00:38] <JainAmber> Nevermind my OP now. Thanks!

[04:45] <zgnuu> How can I install fonts in Xubuntu?
[04:46] <holstein> zgnuu: i just put them over in the /fonts directory.. /usr/share/fonts
[04:46] <zgnuu> drag and drop?
[04:47] <holstein> zgnuu: if you want to run a filemanger as sudo, you can drag and drop
[04:47] <holstein> i open a terminal and sudo mv or sudo cp them
[04:47] <zgnuu> how can I run filemanager as sudo?
[04:47] <zgnuu> sudo filemanager?
[04:47] <holstein> zgnuu: you should be *very* careful as root.. if you want to do say "gksudo thunar"
[04:48] <holstein> you can really do some damage like that
[04:49] <holstein> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts
[04:49] <zgnuu> so I dragged and drop terminus into usr/share/fonts
[04:49] <zgnuu> but when I went into settings > fonts,  Icouldn't find it there
[04:49] <holstein> zgnuu: if you put a font in there that can be used, it will be used
[04:50] <holstein> zgnuu: i would expect to restart at least the application you are looking for the fonts from
[04:50] <Chad__> To make the system aware of the new fonts, type "fc-cache -f -v"
[04:50] <holstein> zgnuu: there at links to fonts that will certainly work at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts
[04:51] <zgnuu> still nothing after fc-cache -f -v
[04:51] <zgnuu> terminus is a bitmap font and I've used it before in ubuntu 12.04
[04:52] <holstein> zgnuu: i would try with the known good ones.. xubuntu *is* ubuntu, so when you get a font that can be used, it'll be used
[04:55] <zgnuu> nvm apt-get install xfonts-terminus worked
[04:58] <zgnuu> thank you both
[05:00] <holstein> cheers!
[05:08] <zgnuu> is it possible to enable font smoothing in xubuntu?
[05:09] <holstein> zgnuu: its all open, so in theory, everything is possible.. are you talking about on the screen?
[05:10] <zgnuu> errr, i'm not sure, but maybe through a graphical interface?
[05:13] <holstein> zgnuu: what fonts? the ones you see in general on the screen? printed out? in a certain app? on the desktop?
[05:13] <zgnuu> throughout xubuntu
[05:13] <zgnuu> everything
[05:14] <holstein> me and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1899016 suggest Settings->Settings Manager->Appearance->Fonts or somewhere like that...
[05:16] <zgnuu> there's no option for font smoothing there
[05:17] <holstein> zgnuu: i would play around with the options that are there, and dont assume to see the term "smoothing"
[05:19] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/115645/how-to-change-default-fonts-in-xubuntu should look something like that... anti aliasing for example
[05:53] <zgnuu> where would I add themes for the window manager?
[05:53] <zgnuu> and would they be called XFCE themes or GTK themes?
[05:58] <well_laid_lawn> !themes
[06:04] <zgnuu> if I wanted to add more xfwm4 themes, would I put them in usr/share/xfwm4 ?
[06:04] <zgnuu> assuming that archey says that my window manager is xfwm?
[06:10] <well_laid_lawn> zgnuu: there or in ~/.themes
[06:11] <zgnuu> I've added the theme that I want, but I don't see them when I right click > applications > settings > settings manager > window manager
[06:13] <well_laid_lawn> where did you add it?
[06:13] <zgnuu> both ~/.themes
[06:14] <zgnuu> and user/share/xfwm4
[06:14] <well_laid_lawn> did you unpack it?
[06:14] <zgnuu> like "unrar" it?
[06:14] <zgnuu> err extract I mena
[06:14] <well_laid_lawn> yep
[06:14] <zgnuu> yeah
[06:15] <zgnuu> i mean
[06:15] <zgnuu> when I go into .themes, I see only 1 folder: coldsteel
[06:15] <zgnuu> when I go into that folder, it's mostl all xpm files
[06:18] <well_laid_lawn> see if this helps - http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/install_new_themes
[06:18] <well_laid_lawn> I hardly mess with themes
[06:21] <zgnuu> ooh I got it
[06:21] <zgnuu> coldsteel dang
[11:03] <ironhoof> Hello, Would anyone know how to handle an EFI drive? I had xubuntu installed on a second drive for quite some time, and saved the one that came with the computer for a later date. Tonight I just tried to install on it, and I get a ERROR: No boot device found.
[11:40] <metap0d> Hi everyone, is there a guide for Xubuntu to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers? On Ubuntu there is a restricted drivers dialog but I don't see that with Xubuntu
[11:41] <metap0d> I tried googling and surprisingly found no tutorial or resource
[11:43] <baizon> metap0d: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[11:44] <metap0d> baizon, I visited this page previously ... I don't have the additional drivers dialog in Xubuntu to follow with
[11:45] <knome> metap0d, which xubuntu version?
[11:45] <metap0d> Xubuntu 12.10, 64 bit
[11:46] <knome> metap0d, the additional drivers -dialog is under "software sources" from 12.10
[11:46] <metap0d> I've found a 'current driver' binary package in the software centre,
[11:46] <metap0d> ah
[11:47] <metap0d> Thanks, time to restart and cross my fingers
[12:31] <computer> how do i install my nvidia drivers please

[14:47] <zgnuu> Can I edit my GTK colours through some graphical interface?
[14:47] <zgnuu> I tried doing it through lxappearance, but it doesn't change my window border colours which is really what I want.
[15:49] <Catbuntu> Hi
[16:34] <xubuntu475> tiny mouse cursor
[16:35] <xubuntu475> settings manager, mouse seems to have no effect
[16:39] <Zelouille> xubuntu475, try to logout, then login.
[16:42] <xubuntu475> on restart the cursor is only large when in a open window or app
[18:32] <iFire> Hi!
[18:33] <iFire> Is it anyone here who can help me? GRUB won
[18:34] <iFire> 't show on startup, ASUS k55vm is my pc <3
[18:35] <Unit193> iFire: Did it used to in this install, or is this something other than pressing "Shift" while booting?
[18:35] <iFire> I can reinstall it, and try to hold shift :)
[18:35] <iFire> I used a liveCD, and installed it in a unlocated partition
[18:36] <iFire> And made a 1GB partition to swift, and 1GB to bootloader.. Do you think it'll boot if I hold shift?
[18:36] <kgb> meh could've just fixed his apt-get
[18:36] <kgb> oops
[18:37] <zgnuu> Is it possible to make the XFCE panel stop showing the icons in the window buttons panel?
[18:37] <iFire> (It doesn't boot when xubuntu say: Restart to use xubuntu")
[18:37] <zgnuu> so just the text...
[18:37] <kgb> probably
[18:37] <iFire> what? No icons, like the firefox icon?
[18:37] <zgnuu> ye
[18:38] <iFire> hmmm, i dunno, I may look out for the answer!
[18:38] <iFire> Brb, I'll resinstall xubuntu for the 5th time :(
[18:39] <Zelouille> iFire: do you have another OS on the disk ?
[18:42] <kgb> (had absolutely no problems using auto-partitioning in the empty space dualboot win, 1 of the reasons i stuck with (x)ubuntu)
[18:42] <kgb> if other distros can't even make their installer to the right thing.. what's the use for them. ;)
[18:43] <kgb> s/to/do
[18:50] <qasim> hi
[18:52] <qasim> i want to uninstall skype beta 2.0 and reinstall latest version of skype..help please
[18:52] <kgb> qasim: from the skype website.. if you want the newest version - there's a .deb
[18:53] <Unit193> Why not just get it from the partner repo? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[18:53] <qasim> i need termianl command to install second how to uninstall previous version?
[18:54] <qasim> you guys are talking something beyond my comprehension level... im new to linx :(
[18:55] <kgb> just check that link, it's simple
[18:55] <qasim> okay
[18:55] <kgb> 'After this operation, 149 MB of additional disk space will be used.' so it might take a while :)
[18:56] <kgb> qasim: 2 commands, where it says 'Installing Skype'
[18:57] <qasim> that link contains info about installing skype..but there isn't anything about ininstallation process
[18:57] <qasim> uninstallation*
[18:57] <kgb> sudo apt-get purge skype, or from the software center
[18:57] <qasim> okay
[18:57] <qasim> let me see
[18:57] <kgb> err qasim don't purge if you have settings already
[18:58] <kgb> just uninstall from the software center
[18:58] <qasim> erm
[18:58] <kgb> sry about that :S
[18:58] <qasim> i have older version of skype...i can't really do voice chat through it so im trying newest version
[18:58] <kgb> but you should be able to just upgrade it I THINK
[18:59] <qasim> whats the difference b/w purging and uninstalling through software centre?
[18:59] <kgb> after adding the partner repo, second command: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:00] <kgb> purging should remove everything related to that package
[19:00] <qasim> oh rite
[19:00] <kgb> settings included
[19:00] <qasim> i think purging would be fin e then
[19:00] <kgb> :) yeah, maybe better
[19:00] <qasim> because with my present settings i am unable to voice chat
[19:00] <qasim> ok let me try
[19:01] <kgb> kk
[19:01] <kgb> qasim: if you want,
[19:02] <qasim> purged
[19:02] <kgb> check if it's in settings manager, session and startup and remove any skype from there; then alt+f4 logout to end your session and reboot
[19:02] <kgb> ah ok :)
[19:02] <qasim> now how to add partner repos?
[19:02] <kgb> sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" like in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[19:03] <qasim> ty
[19:03] <kgb> then just sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype
[19:05] <jondot1> hey guys. im thinking about replacing my default ubuntu with xubuntu. my machine is mainly used for development - can anyone tell me if this is wise?
[19:05] <qasim> while its being installed, would i require anything else to configure its setting or something?
[19:06] <kgb> should be ok just installing from the repo
[19:06] <kgb> iirc
[19:06] <qasim> iirc?
[19:07] <kgb> if i recall correctly :)
[19:07] <qasim> oh kool
[19:08] <qasim> uptill now..the commands you told me are working well... so im sure yhou recalled correctly:)
[19:08] <kgb> well i mean for voice calls
[19:08] <kgb> :s
[19:09] <qasim> oh ok lol
[19:10] <kgb> could be something weird with your sound and you didn't need the new ver at all.. that sort of thing :f
[19:11] <qasim> recording goes well with sound recorder..so its seemingly the skype issue
[19:11] <kgb> hopefully
[19:11] <kgb> :)
[19:12] <kgb> jondot1: it's about 50% imo, xfce than gnome/unity and all that bloat :$
[19:12] <kgb> *better
[19:13] <qasim> i need to install c++ compiler ..which one works well with xubuntu 12.10?
[19:14] <Pici> !build-essential
[19:14] <qasim> what about dev?
[19:24] <zgnuu> How can I remove the icons in the tasklist?
[19:25] <zgnuu> So that only text is shown. The tasklist in the xfce panel.
[19:27] <iFire> hi
[19:27] <iFire> It didn't work to hold shift to access grub bootloader
[19:28] <iFire> And Boot-Repair won't help me, it tell me to install Ubuntu Security Version because of EFI.. :(
[19:29] <kgb> iFire: i saw those problems as well online.. but my uefi gave me no trouble :f
[19:34] <iFire> How to fic it?
[19:35] <iFire> Any links? It's an Asus K55VM Notebook :s¨
[19:36] <Unit193> Did you get the 64bit version of Xubuntu?
[19:36] <Unit193> !uefi
[19:38] <iFire> hmmh, maybe it's the "ASUS" logo at startup that is the UEFI? It's a normal BIOS menu.. But how to fix? (It's the 64bit, yeah)
[19:38] <iFire> I can't get the grub bootloader :0¨
[19:42] <kgb> iFire: did you make the partitions manually, or you used the installer?
[19:42] <kgb> in auto-mode
[19:43] <mike21> Hi, How do I remove the application name from the title bar?
[19:44] <kgb> Unit193: those cell-phone screenshots cracked me up, someone's gotta edit that page xD
[19:45] <Unit193> kgb: Can't exactly take screenshots from the setup page, though.
[19:45] <kgb> like a VM would do great? :)
[19:46] <kgb> oic bios right
[19:46] <qasim> i installed the latest version of skype...still im unable to do voice chat
[19:46] <qasim> kgb, i still cant do voice chat :(
[19:47] <kgb> Unit193: nvm, it's possible http://superuser.com/questions/59500/how-to-take-a-screenshot-of-my-pcs-bios
[19:50] <iFire> kgb: I used windows diskmanager. I have EFI Bios, Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Detected boot environment: EFI .
[19:50] <iFire> Not UEFI.
[19:51] <qasim> i installed the latest version of skype...still im unable to do voice chat..help please
[19:54] <iFire> qasim: Have you installed your webcamdrivers?
[19:54] <Aknot> How easy is it to customize themes etc in xfce? Is it like in kde or do you have to go to websites and download stuff?
[19:54] <qasim> no i guess
[19:54] <qasim> i dont have web cam
[19:55] <qasim> i just installed skype through the terminal command
[19:55] <mike21> Hi, I want to turn "Terminal - user@host" into "user@host" in the terminal title bar, is that possible?
[19:57] <Aknot> anyone?
[20:00] <qasim> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:00] <qasim> sorry by the command.......sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype
[20:04] <jondot1> so if i'm using gvim on my ubuntu, what would I use on xubuntu?
[20:11] <qasim> i need a compiler to write, compile and run c++ codes ..please recommend one which works well with xubuntu
[20:12] <qasim> hello
[20:12] <qasim> anyone there
[20:12] <Elouin_> yes
[20:13] <qasim> !c++
[20:13] <qasim> good
[20:13] <Elouin_> but i have no idea
[20:13] <qasim> lol rite
[20:13] <qasim> its ok :)
[20:14] <qasim> !compilers
[20:14] <qasim> !dev
[20:25] <qasim> i need a compiler to write, compile and run c++ codes ..please recommend one which works well with xubuntu
[20:27] <holstein> qasim: what are you trying to do?
[20:27] <qasim> hey holstein
[20:27] <holstein> i would literally open the package manager of your choicee and search "c++'
[20:27] <holstein> i havent used one, so i cant suggest one
[20:28] <holstein> build essentials should be a good start
[20:28] <holstein> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-c-and-c-compilers-in-ubuntu-and-testing-your-first-c-and-c-program.html
[20:29] <holstein> "sudo aptitude install build-essential" "This will install all the required packages for C and C++ compilers"
[20:29] <qasim> i need to run c++ codes
[20:29] <qasim> and a compiler with good interface for preparing codes
[20:29] <qasim> i need to run c++ codes
[20:29] <qasim> and a compiler with good interface for preparing codes
[20:29] <qasim> right
[20:30] <holstein> qasim: you have something that is making you repeat posts
[20:31] <qasim> i got dc so i repeated the question
[20:34] <qasim> terminal  says it is a bad command or file name
[20:35] <holstein> pastebin what you did and what you got
[20:35] <holstein> maybe you are looking for a GUI software development environment...
[20:36] <qasim> i copy pated the terminal command you gave me an it said command
[20:36] <qasim> yeah
[20:36] <qasim> yeah a gui for writing codes
[20:36] <holstein> qasim: im no developer, but a compiler is just that... not a GUI
[20:36] <holstein> qasim: "writing codes" doesnt require a GUI
[20:37] <qasim> yeah but its always good to write codes through a gui
[20:38] <holstein> qasim: good is a matter of opinion
[20:38] <holstein> qasim: what are you trying to do?
[20:39] <qasim> i have c++ as my subj as well...so i have to write codes and submit..therefore i need a compiler that works fine with xubuntu plus a GUI
[20:40] <holstein> qasim: build essentials is a compiler.. gedit is a GUI
[20:41] <qasim> olrite
[20:41] <holstein> qasim: maybe you are looking for something like kdevelop
[20:41] <qasim> let me find how to install build essentials
[20:41] <holstein> or eclipse
[20:42] <holstein> qasim: you install build essentials with the command i pasted above from the link i pasted above... sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[20:42] <holstein> qasim: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1423132
[20:43] <qasim> i was previously using dev c++ with windows
[20:43] <qasim> and before that borland's
[20:44] <holstein> qasim: nothing is preventing dev C++ or borland from runing on linux
[20:45] <qasim> i read in few posts ..it doesnot work well with linux
[20:45] <holstein> qasim: im just saying, it can be made to run in linux.. by the developers of it
[20:45] <holstein> qasim: folks are suggestiong codeblocks
[20:45] <qasim> i tried that command it says unable to locate package build essentials
[20:45] <holstein> qasim: i am not a coder, but the guys i know who do just use a text editor
[20:46] <Pici> The package name is build-essential
[20:46] <qasim> oh ok
[20:46] <holstein> !build-essentials
[20:47] <Pici> no S on the package name.
[20:47] <holstein> yeah, i put an s on it the 2nd time i typed it
[20:49] <qasim> cutting log story of terminal short...it says you have broken packages so can't be installed
[20:49] <qasim> long story*
[20:49] <holstein> qasim: sudo apt-get update and paste the output
[20:49] <holstein> qasim: you can also try using the "fix broken packages" option in synaptic
[20:50] <qasim> hmm ok
[20:52] <qasim> i have run that command..
[20:53] <holstein> qasim: you should see a bunch of error messages that you can pastebin if you'd like for one of the volunteers to help you interpret that data
[20:53] <qasim> but again while trying to install build essential ..it says i have held broken packages
[20:54] <qasim> right
[20:56] <qasim> i need to make an account for that first
[20:56] <qasim> wait
[20:56] <qasim> !pastebin
[20:56] <qasim> !pastebin
[21:01] <qasim> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1455643/
[21:02] <qasim> holstein, please check the paste
[21:10] <BrainPaid> hello mans, I need some help about PuTTY SSH Client
[21:17] <holstein> qasim: open a termina... i new one.. copy this without the quotes... "sudo apt-get update" and paste that in there... press the enter key and use pastebin to show me that output
[21:17] <qasim> ok
[21:20] <qasim> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1455681/
[21:20] <qasim> holstein,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1455681/
[21:20] <holstein> qasim: i dont see any errors there.. i might go ahead and run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[21:21] <qasim> okay
[21:21] <holstein> then, you can try to install build-essential from whatever package manger you choose
[21:22] <qasim> terminal says
[21:22] <qasim> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[21:22] <holstein> qasim: ok.. so try installing build-essential
[21:22] <qasim> okay
[21:23] <qasim> holstein, same old error is still there
[21:23] <holstein> qasim: i used to see that message in 10.04
[21:23] <qasim> hmm
[21:23] <holstein> qasim: you are not really looking for build essential anyway..
[21:23] <qasim> yeah
[21:23] <holstein> qasim: go ahead and try one of the GUI's i linked above..
[21:24] <qasim> okay
[21:24] <holstein> at some point, you will need to pull in build-essential though
[21:25] <qasim> maybe, if i couldnt find any substitute
[21:26] <holstein> qasim: there a *so* many.. just look in the package manager of your choice and start randomly testing them
[21:26] <qasim> hmm right
[21:26] <holstein> qasim: i fired up kdevelop once.. the others were codeblocks and semething else, but there a lots of them
[21:27] <qasim> hmm yeah
[21:27] <holstein> you can always use something online like a more robust version of http://codepad.org/
[21:28] <holstein> or try using the software you are familiar with in WINE.. or in windows in VM
[21:33] <qasim> holstein,  will i be able to run dev compiler through wine?
[21:34] <holstein> qasim: i dont maintain either, so i cant say.. i can say, theres nothing about linux or wine that prevents dev compiler from being written to run on either
[21:34] <qasim> well
[21:34] <holstein> qasim: looks good at wineHQ http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1178
[21:35] <qasim> wine was unable to run office when i tried last time..thats why i asked....
[21:35] <holstein> sure.. office is the same
[21:35] <qasim> ms office i meant*
