[04:29] animations [04:35] http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-set-up-compiz-in-xubuntu-1210-or.html might work [04:36] looks like how i used to do it. [04:57] Sorry, I left. What were you saying?

[05:29] if you choose "install alongside windows" it will have a look at your system and make it's best guess at what you want. with "something else", you tell it exactly what you want [05:33] Ok thanks [11:04] Hi all!

Anyone? === Anonymous is now known as Guest20220 === lawr0000 is now known as lawr [17:06] Hey can anyone recommend me a screen recording program? [17:06] GTB3NW, recommend you consult your software center - lots of options there [17:07] Mhmm I prefer feedback rather than the software center [17:08] GTB3NW: orca, at least used to be the big well supported one.. but, ideally, you will find what is best for you by just trying them, and seeing what fits your needs [17:09] GTB3NW: you culd try elaborating.. about what you have tried, and what you are looking for specifically.. or, try one of the live distros that includes assistance programs like that, and see what is working for you [17:09] I haven't tried any yet, I'm looking for one which performs well at general screen recording, if it records games okay that is a bonus [17:09] if not I can look at an alternative for game recording [17:10] lol.. i read "reading" [17:10] !info recordmydesktop-gtk [17:10] Package recordmydesktop-gtk does not exist in saucy [17:10] !info recordmydesktop [17:10] recordmydesktop (source: recordmydesktop): Captures audio-video data of a Linux desktop session.

[17:11] hmm I've seen RMD on all the recommendations, will have to try it [17:11] GTB3NW, the software center includes user ratings [17:12] GTB3NW: the 'best' pointer is to just try them [17:12] GTB3NW: they are all available free of cost in the default repos where cfhowlett is suggesting you can search [17:13] does RMD integrate with xfce toolbar does anyone know? [17:13] it specifically states gnome [17:13] GTB3NW: nothing about xfce will prevent it from being able to [17:13] okay [17:13] GTB3NW: i would just fire it up and see.. if its GTK, i would think you have a good chance [17:14] yeah looks to be working, gonna test record [17:14] cheers [17:56] Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gnutls26/libgnutls26_2.12.14-5ubuntu3.6_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.149 80] [17:56] Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-meta/linux-generic_3.2.0.59.70_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.149 80] [17:56] Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-meta/linux-image-generic_3.2.0.59.70_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.149 80] [17:56] Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-meta/linux-headers-generic_3.2.0.59.70_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.149 80] [17:56] Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_3.2.0-59.90_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.149 80] [17:56] sry, about multiple lines...what should i do to update xubuntu? [18:01] picea, have you done a sudo apt-get update? [18:01] not yet [18:01] do so [18:01] always run update before trying to install something [18:14] i got these lines when trying to update xubuntu via update manager... [18:16] yes, the sources might have not been available, an update would check again [18:17] what release are you using picea [20:36] hello, sorry to bother, but i have what im sure is a pretty typical problem, the volume applet does not work, id tried googling a few work arounds but nothing seems to work... [20:36] just did a fresh install [20:37] id greatly appreciate any assistance with this [20:40] Kn|feTest: what does "does not work" mean exactly? What are you doing, what you are expecting to happen and what is actually happening? [20:41] Kn|feTest: Is it that issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound-gtk2/+bug/1208204? Should be resolved with a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [20:41] clicking the volume applet and getting a tiny grey box instead of the usual volume slider [20:41] Launchpad bug 1208204 in Ubuntu Studio "[SRU]Update indicator-sound-gtk2 with patch" [Undecided,New] [20:42] yes wabbla [20:43] Looking for a for dummies level guide for Ubuntu. I just flashed xubuntu onto my netbook, and I don't know heads from tails even getting the wireless to work. [20:43] looks like they released a fix. Since you said this is a fresh install, an update is in order. [20:43] ive gone through the updates [20:44] is your sound working at all? [20:44] Kn|feTest: did you also restart Xfce? [20:45] because, comment 5 of that bug report has the manual fix that always works for me. [20:45] did full restart of computer after each attempt [20:46] using the old binary Poisoned_Dragon ? [20:46] Yeah, Kn|feTest [20:47] i'll try it.... now i just need to know how to find it and do it... [20:47] I wish I could be more helpful, but I'm currently using the xubuntu 14.04 development release. [20:47] So, no indicator issues for me. [20:51] actually, did another check for updates and downloading now, no idea why software updater game me a "sytem up to date" when i tried it a few minutes ago, if problem still persists i will return, if not, thank you folks for all your help [20:51] Kn|feTest, just open /usr/share/dbus-1/services/indicator-sound.service with a text editor, with elevated privileges, and edit the Exec= line to the one in the post. === GTB3NW is now known as GTB3NW_AWAY [20:53] thats what i tried originally, but to no effect, i'll see if update helps, this is my second laptop ive installed xubuntu on, the applet resolved itself after updates on my other computer [20:55] hmmm.. odd [21:18] Often I get a delay when using the xfce-appfinder (alt+F2), any suggestions of a faster alternative? [21:24] cub: I use Synapse. [21:25] krytarik, you think it's "better"? [21:26] I was thinking of whisker-menu as it's planned for next release too [21:29] I'm using whisker-menu now [21:29] I like it. [21:31] any alternative for xfrun4 (alt+F2) too? [21:35] isn't xfrun4 the same thing? [21:35] only the collapsed form of appfinder? [21:36] I don't think so, I made a typo before. Appfinder is on alt+f3 [21:36] aha could be? [21:37] if you press alt+f2 and press down, poof! magically becomes alt+f3. :) [21:37] woaw. [21:38] mind = blown [21:39] hehe [22:15] hello, i'm wanting to rip my xp cd to iso so i can load it via virtalbox, does xubuntu come with a tool for that already or what is a good program to rip to iso? [22:16] well, nm, it looks like vbox might load from dvd drive [22:33] hey [22:33] I resently just installed Xubuntu and change over my graphics drivers [22:34] But after I restarted my computer, the GUI wouldn't load because the display isn't set [22:34] how do I fix that? === FreezingAlt is now known as FreezingCold [23:10] need help setting up shared internet for wd tv live [23:12] Please Help! i am not familiar with xubuntu and need help setting up shared internet connection. Please Help! [23:13] hello? [23:13] !patience | xubuntu646 [23:13] xubuntu646: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [23:14] !details | xubuntu646 [23:14] xubuntu646: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:15] i am a windows user and this is my first time using xubuntu. i am having a hard time finding anything period. i dont know what version. it was installed last may. i have no idea where to begin to do anything. [23:16] i want to share an internet connection to a "wd tv live" box connected to my tv [23:17] and honestly i dont know where the problem is because i have no idea what i am doing [23:18] the forums and answers that i have found are a little too advanced for me. i need something extremely simplified. [23:18] ok, xubuntu646, there might not be [23:19] the kind of devices that have been designed to work just whit windows might need actual work from our side [23:19] because the people who created the devices simply dont care about us, and we have to figure out for ourselfs [23:19] thats sad [23:20] i would recommend you to patiently read the guides you have found and try to figure out how to make them work for you [23:21] well the big problem i am having is everything tells me to put a code into "root" file, but when i go to rood, it tells me i dont have permission. [23:21] root* [23:24] xubuntu646, good, :) thats a proble we can help with [23:25] root is the power user of your computer, the user that can change system files [23:25] to access and use root powers ubuntu, and xubuntu, use the command sudo [23:26] you have to type sudo before any command and it will ask you for your password, if you give your password to sudo you will be granted root privileges [23:26] be careful doing this because root can delete and change all files on your computer, i would recommend you to read and ask if a command is safe to execute before using it with sudo [23:27] ok. thank you for the help and advice [23:30] xubuntu646, :) no problem, keep asking the things you don't understand and we might be able to guide you to understand them [23:41] whats up peoples.
