[01:07] <pteague> did precise do something weird with terminal colors? because stuff that's supposed to be yellow is now purple (like the memory bar in htop)
[01:22] <pteague> weird... apparently upon upgrading all of my palette colors got changed to some really weird colors
[03:08] <OnI> Lol, I love Ircs. I am installing xubuntu on a 9gb flash drive because my hard drive failed me. b:
[05:11] <Unity_Blows> hello
[05:36] <xubuntu555> Does anyone here have expertise on Thinkpad T60s?
[05:39] <PopeJob> got a T61, but you might get some aid here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T60
[05:42] <xubuntu555> Thanks, PopeJob
[05:58] <Exploiter> Hello guys, how can I resize the file name from 40 characters to 14 charters?
[05:59] <Exploiter> As far as I know you can do this in gconf-editor for gnome.
[05:59] <Exploiter> But I am not sure about xfce, i have xfce4-setting-manager installed but unable to figureout how to shorter the long file names in thunar
[06:00] <Exploiter> Helpo :(
[06:04] <Exploiter> I want to shorter the file names.
[06:08] <baizon> Exploiter: http://tips.webdesign10.com/how-to-bulk-rename-files-in-linux-in-the-terminal
[06:13] <Exploiter> no dude, renaming is not what i am looking for, i have lots of files like wallpapers, while watching gallery, its look like crap.
[06:13] <Exploiter> I just wan to shorter my file name
[06:26] <xubuntu555> why can't you write a Perl script for your filename problem?
[06:30] <Exploiter> looking to do 2 things . 1 shorter the file names, second centralise the file name (instead of right) i m sure they both can be configures through xfce setting editor just don't no how.
[06:46] <SandJ> Exploiter: do you mean leave the file name the same, but make it smaller on the screen?  Like, use a smaller font?
[06:51] <Exploiter> sandj Correct
[06:52] <Exploiter> not just the font, like its movieabcd1989666666666.flv i want to see it as movieabc..
[06:55] <Vermicelli> Is there a way to add to a folder's context menu a command to archive it, mirroring the way an archived folder has an option to extract in its contect menu?
[06:56] <SandJ> So you want it to truncate the display, and leave the name the same.   You can change the width of the columns in most file managers by dragging the column edge.  In Thunar, you can turn off automatic column sizing:  http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-120612-075437.php
[06:57] <SandJ> (That answer was aimed at Exploiter, BTW.)
[06:58] <Exploiter> let me check, by the way I want the view as icon
[07:00] <SandJ> Vermicelli, using Thunar, Xubuntu's default file manager, the context menu already has a "Create Archive..." option when you right click on a directory name.
[07:03] <Exploiter> sandj, take a look http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1145442 this is the solution for gnome, i m looking for something like this in xubuntu xfce thunar
[07:06] <Vermicelli> SandJ, Thanks- hadn't thought to go through Thunar. I wish that the desktop were mroe integrated in xfce, rather than feeling like an afterthought sometimes.
[07:20] <SandJ> Vermicelli, I know.  I prefer miss Ubuntu's 2-panel view, prefer PCManFM to Thunar and need Gigolo to connect to shared directories on other PCs
[07:20] <SandJ> Nautilus
[07:21] <Vermicelli> I like lxde/lubuntu, but I haven't used Ubuntu almost at all. I don't care for the cartoony feel of it.
[07:22] <Vermicelli> I imagine I'm an outlier, as a user of the least popular 2 of the 4 *buntus.
[07:22] <SandJ> It was Ubuntu switching to Unity that switched me to Xubuntu.  I use a 1280x1024 computer, not a handheld touchscreen device.
[07:25] <SandJ> Exploiter: If I understand correctly then, you want a thumbnail view of your files, but only the first X characters of each file name displayed.  Like Windows Explorer does.
[07:26] <Exploiter> yes dude.
[07:26] <Exploiter> i dont want to see 40 character name.
[07:34] <SandJ> I think your problem is that you don't want a /file/ manager, you want an /image/ manager.  Something that focusses on the file content, not its metadata.  How about F-Spot?
[07:38] <SandJ> Or gThumb>
[07:38] <SandJ> Oops.  gThumb Image Viewer looks light it might do what you want.
[07:38] <Exploiter> no dude, i did this on gnome with gconf editor few years back.
[07:38] <Exploiter> just not able to do same in xfce
[07:39] <Exploiter> looks like xfce don't have any option to do this.
[07:39] <Exploiter> I might have to recompile xfce package, but that will be a pain in the ass.
[09:11] <xubuntu973> what is the minimum for instaling windows ubuntu 4 Oracle VM VirtualBox?
[09:11] <xubuntu973> for instal ^
[09:12] <xubuntu973> Xubuntu((
[09:15] <well_laid_lawn> try the minimal install with xorg and a window manger, then fine tune for your hardware
[09:17] <hobgoblin> they went well_laid_lawn :)
[09:18] <well_laid_lawn> it happens I have joins/parts turned off here

[10:16] <tanulo> hello all
[10:16] <tanulo> I would like some assistance please
[10:21] <tanulo> I installed the latest xubuntu and would like to define .xsession
[10:21] <tanulo> problem is it is being ignored
[10:21] <tanulo> what I would like is to set a window enviroment for a user
[10:22] <tanulo> I want this to be icewm
[10:22] <tanulo> any ideas what am I doing wrong?
[10:35] <manuee> hi all, anyone else seeing this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1969712  ?
[10:36] <manuee> file:///usr/share/xubuntu-docs/about/xubuntu-index.html shows "Welcome to Xubuntu 11.10! " on 12.04
[11:33] <tanulo> hi
[11:34] <tanulo> can someone help me?
[11:34] <hobgoblin> !ask | tanulo
[11:34] <tanulo> I want some users to not be able choose a window manager
[11:35] <tanulo> let's say I want them to use a specific one: icewm
[11:35] <tanulo> previously I could do that with .xsession
[11:35] <ochosi> tanulo: do you want to actively prevent them from using anything else or do you want to just set a different one by default? (just to be 100% clear)
[11:36] <tanulo> sorry the first one
[11:37] <tanulo> prevent them to use anything but icewm
[11:39] <ochosi> maybe you could look into xfce kiosk mode
[11:39] <ochosi> http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/kiosk_mode
[11:39] <tanulo> I used xfce in ubuntu 8.04 times then I was able to cope with it, but then they changed something
[11:40] <tanulo> and could not get my stuff done
[11:40] <tanulo> icewm is much simpler
[11:40] <tanulo> so do you have any idea for my original question?
[11:42] <ochosi> sry but i don't understand why you're asking here when you don't want to use xfce..?
[11:43] <tanulo> because partly I am using xubuntu
[11:44] <tanulo> but that does not matter, I am just looking for help
[11:44] <tanulo> if you can please help me, if you do not know that is fine also
[11:44] <tanulo> just let me know
[11:48] <ochosi> haven't really dealt with lock-in environments, only way i know is the kiosk-mode i linked to above
[11:51] <WhereIsMySpoon> Hi, I have no sound on my xfce session, anyone got any pointers/help please?

[12:10] <WhereIsMySpoon> baizon, i have pulseaudio also installed
[12:10] <WhereIsMySpoon> if i try to run it i get E: pid.c: Daemon already running.
[12:10] <WhereIsMySpoon> E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
[12:11] <baizon> WhereIsMySpoon: i mean pavucontrol
[12:11] <WhereIsMySpoon> baizon, pavucontrol isnt a valid command
[12:11] <baizon> yes install it
[12:11] <WhereIsMySpoon> oki

[12:13] <tanulo> ochosi thankx
[12:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> baizon, that didnt help
[12:14] <baizon> WhereIsMySpoon: run it and configure :)
[12:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> the volume was at 0 when i opened pavucontrol up but turning it up to max does nothing
[12:14] <baizon> WhereIsMySpoon: activate the output
[12:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> baizon, ?
[12:14] <baizon> check if its using the output you want
[12:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> baizon, theres only one output
[12:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> its called dummy output
[12:15] <baizon> dummy sound means you dont have sound
[12:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> baizon, u mean at all?
[12:15] <baizon> WhereIsMySpoon: cat /proc/asound/cards
[12:16] <baizon> what output do you get
[12:16] <baizon> check for soundcards

[12:16] <WhereIsMySpoon>                       HDA Intel at 0xfebdc000 irq 50
[12:16] <baizon> if they are detected
[12:16] <baizon> hmm
[12:16] <WhereIsMySpoon> maybe i need drivers?
[12:16] <baizon> WhereIsMySpoon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[12:17] <baizon> check that :)
[12:18] <baizon> in pavucontrol you need an output called "HDA intel"
[12:18] <baizon> if you have it then sound will work :)
[12:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> baizon, eyyyy
[12:20] <baizon> yes sir?

[12:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> then reload alsa
[12:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> :D
[12:21] <baizon> do you have an intel output in pavucontrol?
[12:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> winning

[13:29] <ochosi> GridCube: pong
[13:30] <GridCube> thanks, but its a bit late :D
[13:30] <ochosi> yeah, i figured ;)
[13:30] <GridCube> there was a guy who wanted to know some theme modding
[13:31] <ochosi> in case the guy asks again and i'm not available: that line is missing from xfwm4's themerc file because it hardcodes button alignment
[13:31] <ochosi> i wanted users to easily re-arrange the window buttons themselves, therefore there is no such line
[13:32] <GridCube> oh okay :)
[13:33] <GridCube> ochosi, you could answer him in the mailing list?
[13:33] <GridCube> i don't know if thats asking too much
[13:33] <ochosi> if he asks there, then yes
[13:33] <ochosi> but i'm not starting to reply to irc-inquiries by email, that'd drive me mad very quickly
[13:33] <ochosi> if he _really_ wants to know stuff, he'll come back (or find out himself in the meanwhile)
[13:35] <GridCube> :D okay
[14:30] <Exploiter> How can i use 'cut' command to get 'http://www.google.com' from line as such 'google website http://www.google.com'
[14:31] <Exploiter> How can i use 'cut' command to get 'http://www.google.com' from line as such 'google website http://www.google.com' (all words after http word)
[14:31] <GridCube> mmm
[14:32] <crond> Can anyone tell me why I occasionally get a popup telling me that 'my keyring was not unlocked' and wanting my password?
[14:32] <GridCube> because gnome-keyring got corrupted
[14:33] <crond> GridCube, is there a way I can fix that? Because it's becoming irritating.
[14:33] <GridCube> delete the /.gnome2/keyrings/ files and start all over again
[14:33] <crond> GridCube, what will that break? :)
[14:33] <GridCube> your stored passwords
[14:34] <GridCube> you will need to tell the keyring manager what they are again
[14:34] <crond> Oh, like for my wifi and pidgin and such?
[14:34] <GridCube> mmhm yes
[14:34] <GridCube> and for some reason chromium's too
[14:34] <crond> okay that's not too horrible
[14:35] <Exploiter> How can i use 'cut' command to get 'http://www.google.com' from line as such 'google website http://www.google.com'
[14:35] <crond> I don't use chromium I use firefox, but ok
[14:35] <Exploiter> I want to get whole line after http
[14:35] <GridCube> :) firefox gets its own passwords containers crond
[14:35] <GridCube> Exploiter, i think you need sed instead of cut
[15:39] <xfce4-10> 12:38 < xfce4-10> hi guys

[16:18] <SandJ_II> Before I can install a NVidia driver, I must stop running the X server.  Do I do this by something like:  sudo services lightdm stop
[16:21] <Sysi> don't make things hard, use the "additionql drivers" app
[16:55] <SandJ_II> The version that was provided by Additional Drivers would not allow my PC to boot.  Hence I download and install a later version.  But thank you anyway.
[17:39] <doc|home> anyone know how to get a file from the print queue? I have a print job in place, but I need to be able to retrieve and save the file as the print job is stuck.
[17:41] <GridCube> doesnt the "recover" button works?
[17:41] <doc|home> I don't see a recover button :/
[17:41] <doc|home> where would I see that? It's not in Document Print Status
[17:45] <GridCube> doc|home, http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/capturadepantalla-120612-144455.php
[17:45] <GridCube> that last icon in the print queue
[17:46] <doc|home> the one with the arrow pointing down?
[17:46] <GridCube> yes
[17:46] <doc|home> it's disabled/greyed out :/
[17:46] <GridCube> mm
[17:46] <GridCube> i see
[19:48] <xubuntu937> Hi. I have a question... Is the only difference between ubuntu and Xubuntu in the GUI or are there some other differences? Thank you. :)
[19:50] <baizon> xubuntu937: performance
[19:50] <baizon> and usability
[19:51] <xubuntu937> baizon: Is it only because of GUI or are there any other things? Is the 'installer' still the same etc.?
[19:51] <baizon> installer is like ubuntu
[19:51] <baizon> no need for 3D in xubuntu
[19:52] <xubuntu937> baizon: Thank you. Xubuntu it is! :D
[19:52] <baizon> :)
[19:52] <baizon> np
[19:52] <xubuntu937> baizon: Are there any disadvantages? Your opinion.
[19:53] <baizon> you have to install /configure more if you like some usability addons
[19:53] <baizon> like the dash
[19:54] <xubuntu937> baizon: Thank you. That all. :)

[19:58] <nim0_> how do I disable this crash reports ?? within indicator plugin
[19:59] <laite> nim0_: if it happens just for one and same app, you can check 'ignore this warning in future' or something similar
[20:00] <laite> within the crash report dialog, I think it'll only appear there when same program has crashed twice or more
[20:00] <nim0_> laite, I did that many times... it still keeps bugging me
[20:01] <nim0_> laite,  There should be a way to disable it completely....
[20:02] <laite> hm, I agree - I had a feeling it would appear in 'sessions and startup' in settings, but don't seem so :/
[20:04] <nim0_> laite, Indicator plugin cant be configured at all... would be nice to be able to choose which notifications you want to pop up
[20:04] <pod> My xubuntu 12.04 won't connect to my wifi. Works with other wifis as usual. If i run the xubuntu 12.04 live cd it connects as usual. Any ideas?
[20:05] <laite> nim0_: program that handles crash reports is apport, don't know exactly if that does somenthing else too
[20:06] <laite> nim0_: you could try editing /etc/default/apport to disable it from starting
[20:06] <nim0_> laite,  aha ill check in to that ,,, maybe some hacking is needed
[20:07] <crond> anyone know why xrandr would claim my HDMI output doesn't work?
[20:08] <pod> i should add that my phone can connect to my wifi as usual
[20:08] <nim0_> laite,  ok so apport handles only crash reports.... it can be disabled in /etc/default/apport..... ill try it out... thx
[20:14] <pod> I solved the wifi problem by removing the propritery Wifi driver. But i think that driver has worked before...
[20:19] <pod> And when reinstalling the driver it seems to be working again. Thanks and good night!
[20:31] <xwalk_> Can anyone tell me what the default display manager is for Xubuntu 12.04? I'm trying to change the background of the login screen.

[23:12] <faryshta> How can I print a screen?
[23:12] <faryshta> print screen button doesn't do anything.
[23:13] <GridCube> faryshta, do you have some menu open when trying to screencap?
[23:14] <GridCube> if you do that prevents the print screen button to work
[23:14] <GridCube> go to the menu > accesories > screen capture
[23:14] <GridCube> and launch the program manually adding some seconds to it
[23:34] <Mede> quick question- what is different about the alternate install
