[01:09] <beata> Still stumped, re: Mouse cursor theme only changes over *some* parts of the screen. I wonder if I'm not missing something obvious. For example, over the menu bar of Pidgin's chat window, the cursor is default; however, over the menu bar of firefox it is (which I set in the manager) redglass.
[01:31] <hythlodaeus> hey everyone. i'm with a bit of a problem here
[01:32] <hythlodaeus> searched the forums alerady, couldn't find a solution
[01:32] <hythlodaeus> i'm experiencing complete freezes at unspecified times
[01:33] <hythlodaeus> by complete freezes i mean, i'm unable to do anything. not even move the mouse around, and I eventually have to restart
[01:33] <hythlodaeus> before installing xubuntu i had vanilla ubuntu installed, and had the same problem
[01:34] <hythlodaeus> which makes me think it might be related with my partition's file system
[01:34] <hythlodaeus> i'm dual booting along with winxp
[01:35] <hythlodaeus> ntsf filesystem
[02:46] <ChapterNZ> Hey all, New install of xubuntu on a HP Mini... Freezes when I shut down
[02:47] <ChapterNZ> I remember having this issue before and I had to run something to unload one of my modules, possibly sound, before shutdown.. But can't remember what it might have been or what to do
[02:47] <ChapterNZ> any pointers?
[05:27] <orionsonofneptun> hey
[05:28] <orionsonofneptun> anyone home
[05:41] <max4men> hi
[05:42] <max4men> кто нить грит по русски?
[05:47] <well_laid_lawn> max4men: is that greek?
[05:54] <max4men> well_laid_lawn: no, russian
[05:55] <max4men> in general is a problem
[05:56] <max4men> how to disable the scrolling in the console
[05:58] <McGuyver> max4men: do you mean the scrollbar?
[05:59] <gry> max4men: http://i.imgur.com/1RrGS.png
[06:00] <gry> (This is the Edit -> Preferences (Править - Настройки) window screenshot of xfce4-terminal)
[06:02] <max4men> eh, seems wrong to question voiced (
[06:03] <max4men> when something is installed, you can not stop look at a single location
[06:03] <max4men> PAGE scroll down
[06:04] <max4men> how to disable
[06:04] <McGuyver> Edit -> Preferences  -> uncheck scroll on output
[06:06] <max4men> McGuyver: Thanks! I will learn English :)
[09:47] <imran-uk> hi, i want to install xubuntu 12.04 on wifes ibm t30 laptop. is the mah-jong game included/available for it or does that need gnome? (i'm guessing no)
[09:48] <TheSheep> !find mahjong
[09:49] <imran-uk> TheSheep, sorry - trying to interpret that: so i can install gnome-mahjong and play it on xubuntu without having to run the gnome desktop env?
[09:50] <imran-uk> i.e. i can play the mahjong game that comes with ubuntu 10.04/debian squeeze etc in the xfce env?
[09:51] <TheSheep> imran-uk: yes
[09:51] <TheSheep> imran-uk: it will install some gnome libraries for it, but it's not such a big deal
[09:51] <imran-uk> TheSheep, ok great, thank you
[10:52] <xubuntu495> hail friends
[10:53] <knome> humm...
[10:53] <knome> "hey" ?
[11:13] <imran-uk> hmm, looks like the 12.04 beta1 installer is stuck at the "keyboard layout" screen, will try text install option if possible?
[11:13] <imran-uk> it's happened twice
[11:32] <TobyK> Ok I am in some serious trouble. I wanted to attempt making my xubuntu desktop available in windows so I installed the package called tightvncserver. After having made several attempts to making my windows connect to my xubuntu desktop I decided I was spending too much time on this and just did an "apt-get remove lightvncserver"
[11:33] <TobyK> However, because lightvnc already changed some desktop settings I did a lightdm restart, BUT after that my UI was gone. I jump back to the login screen and when I try to login my nvidia driver tries to get the screen settings I guess but it fails and jumps back to the login screen
[11:34] <TobyK> I tried removing my xorg.conf and replacing it with a blank one, but that did not work either. Any idea as to what else I can do ?
[11:34] <TobyK> I think it's probably because my machine is trying to use another windows manager but it can't, but I'm not sure how this can be fixed
[11:35] <TobyK> Sooo .. any of you have an idea? I'm not that advanced at linux, and I ran out of stuff that I knew I could try
[11:36] <TobyK> sorry, it's tightvncserver btw, not light*
[11:42] <Kk2> xmonad is broken on 12.04?
[11:43] <Kk2> cause i installed apt-get install xmonad, and after choose iit on gdm but doest worked :(
[11:55] <imran-uk> re frozen 12.04 beta1 install - anyone else seen this in dmesg "drm:drm_mode_getfb: *error* invalid framebuffer id"
[11:55] <imran-uk> maybe there are some kernel params i can feed it to help?
[13:10] <knome> imran-uk, try #xubuntu-devel, somebody might be able to help you with that there. though i thought the freeze bug was fixed already...
[14:02] <Marzata> do you know how to print to correct scale? GIMP, Inkscape, gThumb can not do that.
[14:06] <holstein> sometimes i make pdf's.. or i try and confirm the page size and resoution and all that
[14:06] <holstein> resolution*
[14:12] <ikonia> quiT: don't ask in here
[14:12] <ikonia> quiT: you've just been told "no"
[14:19] <quiT> ikonia,  dont get mad i just try to find solution
[14:20] <ikonia> quiT: I'm not mad, and I've told you the solution, the answer is "no"
[14:25] <DbV> may i ask how i can find out if my installation is xubuntu 11.04 or 11.10 ?
[14:28] <ikonia> DbV: lsb_release. -a
[14:28] <ikonia> DbV: lsb_release -a sorry
[14:28] <DbV> thank you

[15:17] <xubuntu848> buongiorno

[15:17] <xubuntu848> ok grazie mille e buona giornata
[15:18] <TheSheep> :)
[17:01] <xytty> Hi there
[17:01] <TheSheep> hi xytty, how's the weather in France?
[17:03] <xytty> It's quite sunny today, and that's pretty cool !
[17:04] <TheSheep> the spring is coming finally
[17:05] <xytty> But I love winter... =/
[17:05] <TheSheep> so, you like xubuntu so far?
[17:07] <xytty> Yup, I've tested a lot of distribution and after all xubuntu is the fastest and the most usefull for me
[17:09] <TheSheep> that's weird, there should be faster distros
[17:09] <TheSheep> but less useful, of course
[17:33] <kvarley> I'm not sure who it was, but when I asked about XUbuntu and the Ctrl+F4 shortcut to close browser tabs they said they also wanted to know.
[17:34] <TheSheep> ctrl+w
[17:34] <kvarley> Anyway, if they're about. You do Menu>Settings>Settings Manager>Window Manager go to the keyboard tab and scroll down to "Workspace 4" and either remove or change the shortcut from Ctrl+F4 to something else and that'll free up the shortcut for the browsers to use.
[17:34] <kvarley> TheSheep's method also works
[17:46] <xubuntu6> how can i echo gui commands in the terminal?
[17:48] <TheSheep> xubuntu6: what are gui commands?
[17:51] <xubuntu6> well aren't commands are being sent in the background when i click a button? just wondering if there was a way to see these commands say when i open a program graphically or click a button in one those programs
[17:53] <TheSheep> not really
[17:53] <TheSheep> well, they are not the terminal commands
[17:54] <TheSheep> you can see the system calls that the application makes with strace
[17:54] <TheSheep> just do 'strace your_command' in a terminal, replace your_command with the program you want to run
[18:13] <arpad2> hello
[18:15] <xubuntu6> thanks will do!
[19:08] <thermi> i have to criticize some things regarding gigolo
[19:09] <thermi> it's functions aren't implemented properly
[19:09] <thermi> for example, you can't access smb shares without editing some files yourself
[19:09] <thermi> and the version of gigolo in the repos is outdated
[19:10] <thermi> latest Version (July 31, 2010) is 0.4.1
[19:10] <thermi> but in the repos is only 0.4.0 :<
[19:10] <Pici> In lucid maybe.
[19:11] <thermi> ?
[19:11] <thermi> what are you talking about now?
[19:11] <thermi> the first thing?
[19:11] <Pici> thermi: The version of gigolo in 10.04 (lucid) is version 0.4.0-1
[19:11] <thermi> ok
[19:11] <Pici> All the newer (supported) releases have 0.4.1
[19:12] <thermi> i'm currently running 10.04 on my desktop :p
[19:12] <Pici> http://paste.ubuntu.com/894105/
[19:12] <thermi> \o/
[19:12] <thermi> ty
[19:12] <thermi> :p
[19:44] <Bierce> ahaha now im in the right place

[19:44] <knome> yes

[19:45] <Bierce> anyway
[19:45] <Bierce> can one of yall please help me get adobe flash player working
[19:46] <Bierce> the only thing it seems to work on is youtube
[19:46] <Egup783> Добрый вечер! А здесь Русские есть?
[19:46] <knome> !ru | Egup783
[19:47] <Bierce> do yall speak english?
[19:51] <TheSheep> Bierce: sure, why not
[19:52] <TheSheep> Bierce: what is the error?
[19:53] <Bierce> well on firefox it says for my safty it prevented the old version of adobe from running...
[19:53] <Bierce> witch is the one i think i downloaded from the software center
[19:53] <Bierce> and the get flash commands ive been trying arnt working
[19:54] <TheSheep> which version of xubuntu is that?
[19:55] <Bierce> 11.10
[19:55] <TheSheep> and is firefox also from the repository?
[19:55] <Bierce> 64bit
[19:55] <Bierce> its default browser
[19:56] <Bierce> ive already download libflashplayerx86.64.so and its on my desktop right now
[19:58] <TheSheep> you might see if there is something on the wiki about it
[19:58] <TheSheep> !flash
[19:58] <TheSheep> also the forums
[19:58] <TheSheep> personally I avoid flash in all forms, so can't really help much
[19:58] <Bierce> oh
[19:59] <Bierce> thats really the only thing keeping from using xubuntu as my daily lol
[19:59] <Bierce> im dual booted on win7
[20:00] <TheSheep> I'm sure it has to work somehow, otherwise we would have hundreds of people here asking about it
[20:00] <bzrk> i copy the flash lib directly to the plugin dir
[20:00] <bzrk> easiest way
[20:01] <Bierce> do the other altenantives work better
[20:01] <bzrk> none really did for me
[20:02] <Bierce> how would i do that lol]
[20:02] <Bierce> i have the .so file on my desktop right now
[20:03] <bzrk> for systemwide put it in /usr/lib/firefox%/plugins
[20:03] <bzrk> dont know the exact firefox% part, just look in /usr/lib
[20:03] <bzrk> for user only .mozilla/plugins i think
[20:04] <Bierce> im about to try gnash right now
[20:05] <Bierce> im actually really digging xubuntu right now i tried ubu a while back but didnt really like it
[20:10] <Bierce> hmm
[20:10] <Bierce> gnash seems to be working
[20:15] <Bierce> i might just make this my daily after all
[20:16] <Bierce> now heres a question is i installed xubu using wubi is there away to make the partition bigger wubi would only let me go to30gigs
[21:32] <Tiktalik> How can I make an xubuntu LiveUSB?
[21:32] <GridCube> use unetboting
[21:33] <GridCube> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[21:34] <Tiktalik> unetbootin doesn't work for me, forgot to mention that
[21:36] <w30> Tiktalik, I like usb creator
[21:39] <w30> Tiktalik, actually it's usb-creator
[21:42] <w30> Tiktalik, it gives you the ability to create 4 gig of persistant storage so you cna save a few files or save some configure optins lke net connections
[21:59] <uranther> Is there a way to resolve the dependency hell when installing libasound2-plugin-equal?? http://i.imgur.com/yb57V.png
[22:06] <GridCube> uranther, what happens when you do a " --no-install-recommends" on apt-get?
[22:10] <uranther> GridCube: http://pastebin.ca/2130992 fails with the same message
[22:12] <GridCube> uranther, try this: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux/59318-package-problem-broken-dependency-more.html#post742320
[22:12] <GridCube> without the dist-upgrade ofcourse
[22:12] <GridCube> XD
[22:15] <uranther> GridCube: cool. lemme try..
[22:19] <Tiktalik> well, I got it done
[22:19] <Tiktalik> anyway, now to wait for my new parts.
[22:24] <uranther> GridCube left... but same error :(
[22:31] <uranther> GridCube: apt-get clean, autoclean, update, upgrade, install ... didn't work :/
[22:31] <GridCube> oh
[22:31] <GridCube> :(
[22:32] <GridCube> uranther, http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2011-July/020323.html
[22:33] <GridCube> i dont know how that would help though
[22:33] <GridCube> XD
[22:33] <knome> hurrah for helpful advice :)
[22:34] <uranther> D:
[22:34] <knome> uranther, somebody in #ubuntustudio could know. :)
[22:35] <knome> (i'm not promising anything...)
[22:35] <uranther> one of the packages it wants me to remove is xubuntu-desktop :(
[22:35] <GridCube> uranther, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsaequal/+bug/875820
[22:35] <knome> uranther, and #ubuntu could work too
[22:35] <knome> uranther, no problem, that's just a metapackage
[22:35] <GridCube> that one... should help¿?
[22:35] <GridCube> XD
[22:35] <knome> uranther, eg. removing that shouldn't remove anything.
[22:35] <knome> uranther, just the metapackage
[22:36] <knome> well, looks like it's fixed on 0.6-2... but how that helps, i don't know :)
[22:36] <uranther> oh ok. hm yea, how do I upgrade to that version?
[22:36] <uranther> I've already done update and everything
[22:36] <knome> uranther, i suppose you'd have to upgrade to next distribution version
[22:38] <uranther> dist-upgrade shows nothing
[22:39] <knome> uranther, well, 12.04 is not released yet
[22:39] <knome> uranther, if it's a production machine, i'd say wait for a bit more than month, when it's out
[22:39] <uranther> oh ok
[22:40] <uranther> I'll go with that.. :P thanks guys
[22:40] <knome> np, enjoy xubuntu
[22:40] <GridCube> :D that one did help!!
[22:46] <knome> :)
[22:52] <uranther> now i'm interested in the changes of the new version
[22:52] <knome> uranther, http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-precise/group/topic-precise-flavor-xubuntu.html <- that should tell a lot
[22:53] <uranther> thanks


[21:04] <StudioUser27> how do I re-install grub on ubuntu studio 22.04 that I have been using for over a month. I am booted with a live usb of ubuntu studio now. In mx linux it has a grub repair. Is there one in ubuntu studio?
[21:05] <Eickmeyer> There is no grub repair in Ubuntu Studio. What happened to make you unable to boot it?
[21:06] <Eickmeyer> I recommend this to try to recover your boot: https://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[21:07] <Eickmeyer> Once booted, run `sudo grub-install` followed by `sudo update-grub` and you should be back to normal.
[21:10] <StudioUser27> I've been creating images of several linux distros and a windoz 10 using a 2 bay usb external drive,for a couple days now. I must have confused my laptop.
[21:13] <StudioUser27> Ok. From a live ubuntu-studio boot in a termianl I just did:
[21:13] <StudioUser27> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt update
[21:13] <StudioUser27> sudo apt install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
[21:13] <StudioUser27> which I found on
[21:13] <StudioUser27> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[21:13] <StudioUser27> If this does not work I will do what you suggested above.
[21:14] <Eickmeyer> StudioUser27: I'm not familiar with that method, and we don't allow long pastes in here, which is why you were automatically +q'd.
[21:14] <Eickmeyer> And if you found the solution on your own, why bother asking in here?
[21:15] <Eickmeyer> !paste | StudioUser27
[21:20] <StudioUser27> sorry I did a search after posting here. it popped up  a window and when I clicked apply it gave me the following: "The current session is in BIOS-compatibility mode. Please disable BIOS-compatibility/CSM/Legacy mode in your UEFI firmware, and use this software from a live-CD (or live-USB) that is compatible with UEFI booting mode. For example,
[21:20] <StudioUser27> use a live-USB of Boot-Repair-Disk-64bit (www.sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd), after making sure your BIOS is set up to boot USB in EFI mode."


[19:41] <xnox> is cogl / clutter stack owned by desktop team and/or gnome? or is it all shared responsibility
