[00:05] <maven> Hi I
[00:06] <maven> I am using xubuntu 12.04.2 now. And there are two panels by default. The panel1(contains the application menu) is positioned at the top of the screen . Any idea to move it to the bottom?
[00:12] <GridCube> maven, right clic >panel >panel settings: uncheck block panel, drag panel from the borders to the bottom, left, right, or middle of the screen, block it again
[00:17] <maven> GridCube, It worked. Thank you.
[00:17] <GridCube> maven, :D you are welcome
[00:18] <maven> BTW, I have some new fonts to be installed. I copy them (*.ttf) to the ~/.fonts.  But it seems that this does not work. Did I miss anything?
[00:18] <GridCube> no, that should work
[00:20] <maven> I have tried to logout and login again. But when I try to set the font in the terminal. I can find the added fonts in the font select dialog.
[00:21] <GridCube> what do you mean by "set the font in the terminal"?
[00:21] <GridCube> fonts in the terminal works differently
[00:22] <GridCube> well, http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/fonts2.html
[00:22] <maven> Edit-Preference  At the appearance tab. I can not set the font.
[00:24] <GridCube> well, i can, try using the guest session and see if you add a new font to it if it will work, if it does you have some missconfiguration somewhere
[00:25] <maven> Thanks, I will have a try.
[00:30] <pleia2> they probably need to run: fc-cache -f
[00:32] <maven> It works after a reboot. :)
[00:33] <GridCube> :3
[00:41] <maven> :(. The new fonts appeared in the font select dialog. But when I select it. I got unreadable characters in the preview window. http://snag.gy/eE97w.jpg
[00:42] <GridCube> its a broken font probably, consolas ain't a free font
[00:45] <maven> shame
[01:52] <maven> Hi can I set the dimension of the Terminal ?
[01:52] <GridCube> maven, man xfce4-terminal
[01:58] <maven> I know I can use the `xfce-terminal --geometry=140x25` to open the terminal with a specified size. However this just works for a launcher. And there are several methods to open a terminal like `Application-accessories-terminal` or `open terminal here(context menu)`.  How to make the geometry works for all the teriminal window?
[02:54] <maven> Done.  Modify the file `~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc`
[06:38] <Noskcaj> the 13.04 release is nearly here. if anyone is willing to helo the testing team let me know and i will help you join
[06:38] <Noskcaj> *help
[07:14] <koka> hi, I need install wifi drivers, I had dowloaded realtek drivers and I have a file named install.sh I tried to type in the terminal sh install.sh but show an error
[07:21] <moetunes> koka:  what's the error?
[07:24] <Gumby> koka: try either chmod +x install.sh; ./install.sh  OR try sh install.sh
[07:25] <Gumby> although as moetunes suggests, let the channel know the error :)
[07:55] <bigal> I am having issues with a fresh install of 12.10
[07:56] <bigal> when partitioning hd there is not the option "physical volume for RAID". How comes?
[07:56] <xubuntu504> *tips hat*
[07:58] <xubuntu504> needs to be the physical HD cant be a partition on a HD
[08:00] <bigal> thanks. I agree, but I am in front of the installation screen (no more alt install since 12.10). I have 2 empty identical hd...
[08:00] <bigal> the only option I have here in the graphical installation (in 12.10, but not in 12.04) is "new partition table"
[08:00] <bigal> I am selection the whole disk
[08:00] <bigal> for a partition and then I am adding the fs type dimensione etc...
[08:01] <bigal> and there in the list of fs type there should be "physical volume for RAID" but there is not... mumble mumble...
[08:48] <MCHammer> hey there
[08:48] <cfhowlett> MCHammer, yo
[08:51] <MCHammer> i've got a problem with my application-preferences. in some programs i always need to start it with sudo to save preferences (i.e. sublime-text). another issue is, that positions of applications aren't saved on the workspace they where. after a restart everything is messed up (this somehow gets influenced by direct shutdown or logging out first)
[08:51] <MCHammer> can anybody help me with that?
[08:54] <MCHammer> i guess i have to add some groups/rights to my user, but i'm into that stuff :/
[08:54] <MCHammer> +not
[09:56] <MCHammer> i guess i could make my user a sudo-user (do i have your attention now? ;) )
[09:57] <knome> MCHammer, blackmailing is not appropriate. besides, adding your user to the sudo group is fine.
[10:08] <francach> Hi, I'm new to xubuntu and I'd like to use a umts stick modem. Is there a application I can use for this?
[10:25] <xubuntu736> hi
[10:26] <baizon> hi
[10:53] <jcfp> francach: normal network config has a 'mobile broadband' section
[11:21] <francach> Hi, thnx for the reply. The thing is the modem is not automatically seen like it would be under windows. So I don't know how to tell the system to configure and run the modem for an internet connection.
[11:29] <MCHammer> knome, do you understand concept of smileys?
[11:29] <knome> MCHammer, yes.
[11:32] <MCHammer> you're not good with humans, eh?
[11:37] <bazhang> MCHammer, this is the support channel
[11:37] <knome> MCHammer, unless you can ask for support without joking about things that might severly break your (or other peoples system), i'd advise you to seek support from other channels
[11:38] <knome> or other mediums, like forums or askubuntu. i'm sure the jokes in question aren't tolerated in them either
[11:49] <jcfp> francach: depends on the device, some need extra software such as wader-core before they are recognised
[11:54] <jcfp> francach: what device are you using (lsusb output?)
[13:29] <m33312> hello world
[13:29] <m33312> can you help me with xubuntu installation?

[13:36] <m33312> i got iso but my old computer so old that it cant boot from usb
[13:37] <m33312> and wubi still havent xubuntu in list of install variety
[13:39] <baizon> m33312: you are using windows?
[13:39] <baizon> currently i mean
[13:40] <m33312> yes, it is win xp on that old comp
[13:40] <baizon> then why not burn a xubuntu live cd?
[13:40] <m33312> on the notebook i have ubuntu and win 7
[13:41] <m33312> i havent free cds left in my box
[13:41] <baizon> m33312: you can use wubi to install ubuntu and after that install xubuntu-desktop
[13:41] <m33312> so i wanted to launch it from hard disk
[13:42] <baizon> then you will have xubuntu :)
[13:46] <m33312> ok will try
[13:46] <baizon> m33312: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65861/how-to-i-change-from-ubuntu-to-xubuntu
[13:47] <GridCube> !purexfce
[13:48] <baizon> thank you GridCube :)
[13:49] <m33312> Thank you! that was what i need
[13:49] <m33312> good luck all
[14:25] <m33312> hello again!
[14:25] <m33312> one more question
[14:26] <m33312> after wubi extracted all info on hard disk it reboot computer but
[14:26] <m33312> after reload and choosing "ubuntu" it stuck
[14:27] <m33312> after one more reload it loads grub . and nothing happens
[14:27] <GridCube> :/
[14:27] <GridCube> sorry i never used wubi
[14:27] <cfhowlett> GridCube, nor should you .   it's being discontinued
[14:28] <GridCube> exactly
[14:28] <GridCube> sorry m33312 :(
[14:28] <GridCube> you should find a way to get a proper installation on that drive
[14:29] <GridCube> if you could connect the drive to your other computer, and use the installers there to load the system and then move it back to your main computer
[14:29] <GridCube> for example
[14:29] <m33312> notebook have x64 and all went well
[14:29] <m33312> but this old computer have x32
[14:30] <m33312> with 9.5 years old motherboard
[14:36] <m33312> how to open another irc chat window?
[14:36] <GridCube> m33312, what software are you using?
[14:37] <GridCube> usually its ctrl-t
[14:37] <m33312> software? ubuntu 12.10
[14:37] <m33312> or you were asking about comp?
[14:38] <GridCube> no, irc software, pidgin, xchat, irssi, kvirc
[14:39] <m33312> http://xubuntu.org/irc/
[14:39] <m33312> i opened it from chrome ...
[14:40] <GridCube> oh, open a new tab on chrome tehn, thats not a proper irc software :)
[14:40] <m33312> ok
[14:40] <m33312> and?
[14:41] <GridCube> and?
[14:41] <koegs> m33312: if you want to use irc more often, maybe you want to try xchat
[14:41] <m33312> ahh
[14:41] <m33312> ty
[14:41] <m33312> founded
[16:28] <cha0s> Hey all! I checked this out: http://wiki.xfce.org/dev/howto/panel_plugins and I was hoping maybe someone could point me towards something easier if I wanted to write a custom panel item? ;)
[16:28] <cha0s> Or is that all we have at the moment?
[16:30] <cha0s> What I would really love is a JavaScript API for hacking these things quickly, if one doesn't exist I might consider throwing something together
[16:30] <baizon> cha0s: xfce panel are written in C and GTK2
[16:30] <baizon> you cant write it in JavaScript
[16:30] <cha0s> baizon, well we can use V8, and I'd think (though I'm not sure) that you could probably use C++/GTK
[16:31] <baizon> cha0s: http://wiki.xfce.org/dev/howto/panel_plugins
[16:31] <cha0s> baizon, I linked that originally! I am aware of that API ;)
[16:31] <baizon> ou ok
[16:31] <baizon> sorry didnt saw that
[16:31] <baizon> GTK isnt C++, its C
[16:31] <cha0s> I was wondering if anyone knew of any work built on this API to make hacking them easier/faster
[16:32] <baizon> cha0s: the best channel for this question would be #xfce-dev
[16:32] <cha0s> baizon, thanks I will pay a visit :)
[16:32] <baizon> there are all xfce devs, so they should help
[16:32] <baizon> no problem
[16:50] <jiggawillis> What could be the issue for when you scroll on any browser it leaves this line as scrolling? I think it might be the video card. I believe its stock. optiplex sx260, running xubuntu 12.10
