holsteinFuuqUmiist: try them and see01:57
holsteinFuuqUmiist: should be very similar.. both are free and easy to try on your specific hardware01:57
holsteinboth are xfce.. both are ubuntu base.. both should be able to be setup to be quite similar to the other.. mint is not supported here01:58
melt7777i would say the closer to the master distro the more reliability02:42

serranellushi everybody, could anyone help me? I have no video playback support at all! Flash videos work fine in Firefox but no video files work with Parole or any other media players. I am sure it is a graphic drivers problem. My card is a Via Unichrome Pro.09:31

logan85I have a question about 14.04 Beta, it installed fine but the dock style panel at the bottom of the screen is missing. Is this a bug or intentional?16:09
baizonlogan85: intentional16:11
baizonlogan85: you can create one by yourself :)16:11
logan85alright thanks for letting me know it's supposed to be that way. . . do you know if there are plans for a different kind of dock or what?16:12
GridCubelogan85, no, the new menu launcher has already built a favourites section16:17
GridCubea panel for those would be redundant16:17
GridCubeagain, as baizon said, you can just make your own panel if you feel like you need to have them there :)16:18
brainwash-> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Trusty/Whiskermenu16:18
GridCubelogan85, please remember to report your test of the iso in the tracker16:19
logan85Thanks! I do like the new menu, I just almost miss the dock panel, but not enough to re-implement it in it's old form.16:20
logan85I have no idea how to report my test of the iso16:20
GridCube:) logan85 http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/16:21
GridCubelog in into the iso tracker and report any test you do against the daily isos (the reports for the beta1 are already closed)16:21
GridCubeif you do tests regularly agains the daily isos you will be helping xubuntu a lot16:22

craigbass1976I'm on 12.04.  Any trick to get sketchup running?  I can start it, but it's kind of locked up whenever I do.  It seems to have fired up in a new firefox window, but nothing is responding, like buttons and menus.16:48
TheSheepno it doesn't work on linux :(16:49
craigbass1976Oh, I thought folks were getting it going in wine.16:50

GridCubecraigbass1976, ^16:52
craigbass1976GridCube, Phaw... I quit.  I think I'm going to give SweetHome 3d a try.  This kitchen app I run now is sucking worse and worse with every new version...17:00
GridCubewhy not use online tools?17:00
craigbass1976GridCube, I don't know that there are any for kitchen design.17:01
craigbass1976There's a program called 2020, and the've kind of got the market cornered.  I'm trying to avoid turning the last couple of XP machines here at the lumber yard into 7 boxes when XP gets EOL.  More Linux boxes here would be great, but kitchens is the last Windows dependent application.17:04
GridCubecraigbass1976, i used this a while ago and it was not bad for free http://www.floorplanner.com/17:05
craigbass1976GridCube, will it give me a list of cabinets when I'm done?  B36, W1230, etc?17:06
GridCubeno idea17:06
GridCubecraigbass1976, if you have your old xp licences you can still run the apps on a virtual enviroment if they are so important, and have that enviroment set to just use that, like never connect to the internet or anything17:07
GridCubeso they will be safe of infection and will run your apps17:08
craigbass1976I just want to pop a bottle of Pino Grigio and have a "burn the stickers" party.17:09
craigbass1976If I can find Linux apps, all the better.  I think I can do it with Sweet Home 3d, but it will take a bit to learn the program.17:09
GridCubecraigbass1976, there are paid linux programs like this http://cad.arcad.de/products_architecture.php17:11
craigbass1976GridCube, Thanks for those.17:23

mappshang on why? im sure i read i needed that20:40
mappsok done20:42
mappsrebooting now20:42
elfywhat I'd be expecting with your grub is not to see it - and for it to take 11 seconds20:43
elfymmm20:43
elfyhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/7069862/20:43
mappsrebooted and its just stuck there again:D20:44

mappshmm20:44
elfymapps: I have GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true yours is false20:44
mappsok lets see20:45
mapps<diddledan> it should only stop booting if it can't complete safely20:48
mapps<directhex> GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=1020:48
mapps<directhex> that value is how many seconds to wait if it thinks boot failed. default is infinite20:48

elfymapps: the recordfail line?20:57
mappsyep20:57
mappsdid you see that askubuntu url? can edit the script in grub.d but adding the RECORDFAIL line is easier20:57
elfyI'd wonder if you commented it now whether grub would halt20:57

wilbertI just installed Xubuntu on an AMD Sempron 3000+ machine with 1G ram alongside Windows XP. Connected is a Samsung SyncMaster 204BM LCD monitor with an optimum resolution of 1600x1200 at 60Hz. When I first installed Xubuntu it was using the screen, but at 1024x768 instead of the optimal resolution. I tried adding a .conf file to the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folder with settings I got using the gtf and xrandr commands. This led to me being23:03
wilbertable to select the 1600x1200 option. But using that option led to noise on the screen. Perhaps somewhat stubbornly I selected the option anyway and rebooted. The problem persisted, so I deleted the .conf file I added using the terminal, and rebooted again. This time after rebooting I had a weird black-and-white image without anything recognizable. I wasn't able to fix this so I reinstalled Xubuntu. This time around Xubuntu is using 800x600 a23:03
wilberts a resolution. It doesn't seem to be detecting my graphics card properly, as it only detects one screen (previously it also saw the S-Video output). The jitter is gone though. No additional drivers were available for me on the first install, and none are available now. What's my next step in getting my monitor to work properly at a higher resolution? Thanks in advance for any and all responses, and sorry for the wall of text.23:03
