xubuntu359lightdm background is always matching with my desktop wallpaper.00:18
xubuntu359I don't like it especially since the one in the login menu is stretched while on the desktop is zoomed.00:19
xubuntu359where should I define the background picture? I've tried it on /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf, but no success.00:20
GridCubexubuntu359, in lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf you can add something like background=/lib/plymouth/themes/xubuntu-logo/xubuntu-greybird.png00:24
xubuntu359GridCube yeah I've tried it00:24
xubuntu359I've changed it to #000000 also, but no success.00:25
xubuntu902Hello?05:26
Unit193Howdy.05:27
ElectricErgerHiya05:27
xubuntu902I have some Xubuntu questions, can anyone help?05:27
Unit193Not without knowing what they are.05:28
ElectricErgerI can try, depends on how technical.05:28
ElectricErger^05:28
xubuntu902I keep getting a no space available when i attempt to update but I have a 500GB05:28
Unit193How is it partitioned?05:29
xubuntu902I think that's the issue. Here's what I'm looking at:05:29
xubuntu902Filesystem              1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root 472200480 105171856 343035488  24% / none                            4         0         4   0% /sys/fs/cgroup udev                      4039956         4   4039952   1% /dev tmpfs                      811176       904    810272   1% /run none                         5120         0      5120   0% /run/lock none                      405505:30
xubuntu902What's the other one? h... -l?05:30
baizonxubuntu902: please use http://paste.ubuntu.com for code05:31
xubuntu902Okay Sorry05:31
baizonno problem05:31
xubuntu902May I ask why?05:32
Unit193Easier to read, doesn't spam the channel.05:32
xubuntu902Roger05:32
xubuntu902Okay, so what was that other code for the data, the one that shows my boot drive. That sucker is 93% full and I have no idea how to expand the partition05:33
Unit193df -h which you found, or you can list them with `lsblk` or `fdisk -l` as root, though don't show usage.05:34
xubuntu902Okay so how do I expand that partition05:35
Unit193Boot into a live CD and use gparted.05:35
Unit193!gparted05:35
ubottugparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php05:35
xubuntu902Okay, from what you said I need to reboot into a LiveCD, go to the terminal and type in "sudo apt-get install gparted" or I can rip a CD at that location you provided?05:39
xubuntu902I just want to make sure I understand what you said.05:39
xubuntu902Will restructuring this partion effect my data?05:41
Unit193The Xubuntu LiveCD ships with gparted, if you still have it.05:42
Unit193It can, good to backup.05:42
xubuntu902Roger, thanks for the help!05:44
Unit193Sure.05:44
xubuntu902This is one of, oh, 9,000 more reasons to switch from Windows and IOS. The Linux community rules.05:45
ElectricErgerSo is #xubuntu-offtopic the social channel for Xubuntu people?05:46
Unit193ElectricErger: Yep.05:48
ElectricErgerCool thanks!05:48

ElectricErgerSo I run a computer refurbishing club at my school that recently switched to Xubuntu as our OS that we distribute. Is there any official collection of adverts that we could link to?06:45
kj5tThe following might help http://xubuntu.org/marketingresources/06:48
ElectricErgerThat's just about what I was looking for06:48
ElectricErgerThank ya kindly06:48
kj5tHigh School or College?  Either way that is pretty cool -- both a great way for people to learn to Linux and to put older computers to good use.06:49
ElectricErgerMcGill University's Reboot McGill: http://reboot.mcgilleus.ca/06:50
benonsoftwareElectricErger: Looks like a great project.07:05
ElectricErgerThanks. I want to get some kind of tutorial system for learning Linux running for the members (and community at large, but the school does an okay job at that)07:06

xubuntu334what is the defaul password for root in xubuntu ?14:11
baizonthere is none14:11
cfhowlett!root|xubuntu334,14:11
ubottuxubuntu334,: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo14:11
LudovikFor some reason I am not getting a GUI install with my VMWare workstation on Xubuntu, I CHMOD and then run sudo X.bin and but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?14:17
vojtaahoj16:14
vojtaHello16:14
yeyemanwhen I'm copying something from my android phone, all the folder and file names seems to be replaced by number??18:52
TheSheepyeyeman: yeah, i also have that, but only when I copy whole directories18:56
yeyemanTheSheep, for me it's always, both directories and individual files18:57
TheSheepyou can try using a different program to copy it18:58
TheSheepthere was gmtp18:59
num7Is xubuntu a good choose for a laptop like N210 plus ?19:02
CazzanoHi19:32
CazzanoI have a question regarding the window manager or window theme thingy on xfce19:32
TheSheep!ask19:33
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience19:33
CazzanoI changed the theme to black so it's easier at night etc...and so pretty much every program changes it colors too19:33
Cazzanobut now I can't see the adresses I put into opera19:33
TheSheepCazzano: looks like they hardcoded the font color in there -- report a bug to Opera19:34
yeyemanthe dark theme does not fit well with many programs on xubuntu in my experience19:37
yeyemanfor example, XChat irc client indicates channel activity with changing the channel name to red19:38
yeyemanwhich really burns my eyes on a dark gray background19:38
well_laid_lawnthat one is configurable19:38
CazzanoTheSheep: And can I work the other way arround? The theme is telling opera to use a white color while opera keeps the white background in the adress list..so white on white:/19:38
TheSheepCazzano: yeah, whichever color they hardcoded19:39
TheSheepCazzano: you can also try other dark themes, it's possible that the theme authors forgot to change some widget that opera uses19:40
Cazzanobut there is no way to except opera of the theme?19:40
Cazzanohmm..and how/where can I get other themes?19:44
TheSheep!themes19:56
ubottuTo change your theme in Xubuntu, go to Settings Manager » Appearance (GTK+ theme) or Settings Manager » Window Manager (xfwm4 theme) to change the theme - find more themes at http://xfce-look.org/ or http://gnome-look.org/ (for GTK+ themes)19:56
Cazzanothanks ^_^19:59
