| [01:18] <Zeb> so, i think i like the default ubuntu unity more than kubuntu | |
| [01:19] <Zeb> once you get compiz config and tweak | |
| [02:11] <Zeb> trying to make the transition to ubuntu... how can i migrate my outlook pst files from windows into Thunderbird? | |
| [02:12] <Zeb> can't figure it out | |
| [02:12] <Zeb> i did sudo apt-get install readpst, and then readpst -r blah.pst, and it converted it, but it still wont open or import into thunderbird | |
| [02:13] <JoseeAntonioR> Zeb: Let me check out if I have anything over here :) | |
| [02:13] <holstein> Zeb: i would install thuderbird on windows, when promted, import from outlook, then copy what is needed from windows's thunderbird | |
| [02:13] <Zeb> holstein, that crossed my mind | |
| [02:13] <holstein> Zeb: it literally wont hurt to try it | |
| [02:14] <Zeb> holstein, i suppose its either import in a windows environment or import in a linux environment... any import process will still have to take place somewhere | |
| [02:15] <holstein> i thin the windows one works still thats what i did when i left mail clients behind | |
| [02:15] <Zeb> i hate gmail | |
| [02:15] <Zeb> on the web | |
| [02:15] <Zeb> otherwise i'd just do web-based | |
| [02:16] <holstein> i hate clients... i hate backing them up, and migrating and upgrading... syncing | |
| [02:17] <Zeb> if i install thunderbird on my windows boot, and import the pst to thunderbird... can i then just use the same thunderbird file from within my ubuntu boot? | |
| [02:17] <Zeb> thus having a synced client regardless of which OS i boot to? | |
| [02:17] <holstein> Zeb: i wouldnt expect that to work | |
| [02:17] <holstein> i just migrated to linux by that method | |
| [02:20] <Zeb> ok well im gonna give it a whirl... back in a bit | |
| [02:21] <holstein> Zeb: if you keep backups of that directory, you can try it | |
| [02:21] <holstein> in theory, you just trash the config in windows and linux and restore the one you are about to get | |
| [02:35] <Zeb> :-/ | |
| [02:36] <Zeb> still wont let me Import Everything | |
| [02:36] <Zeb> have to do each one individually, and settings doesnt work | |
| [02:36] <Zeb> but it looks like mail at least is chugging along | |
| [02:36] <holstein> i dont think you'll find a better option | |

| [03:37] <WilsonBradley> Hi, I was hoping to get some help with Annoying system crashes. I am new to not well versed in troubleshooting Ubuntu (Yet..;-) For starters Im getting [System program problem detected] often. What log file do I look through for error? Will it say error in the log , using keyword find? Thanks | |
| [05:25] <asterismo> hi | |
| [05:25] <asterismo> i have a problem | |
| [05:25] <asterismo> does anybody uses xfce? | |
| [05:25] <JoseeAntonioR> asterismo: Tell us the problem :) | |
| [05:25] <asterismo> the directory menu applet | |
| [05:26] <asterismo> worked well with thunar file manager | |
| [05:26] <asterismo> but i changed it to nautilus | |
| [05:26] <asterismo> as the default file manager | |
| [05:26] <asterismo> but the directory menu opens nautilus always in home folder no matter what folder i select to open | |
| [05:27] <asterismo> any ideas? | |
| [05:28] <JoseeAntonioR> Hmm, can you give me a second to check, please? | |
| [05:28] <asterismo> yeah sure! | |
| [05:31] <JoseeAntonioR> asterismo: Can't seem to find a common bug. The home folder opens every time you click on a folder, or it's a link? | |
| [05:34] <JoseeAntonioR> asterismo: I'm sorry, but I have to leave now. One of my mates will help you. | |
| [05:35] <asterismo> ok thanks anyway | |
| [05:35] <asterismo> the thing is that menu directory allows you to browse folders and then open them, or open a terminal | |
| [05:35] <asterismo> well | |
| [05:36] <asterismo> when i browse a folder inside my home... and click open folder | |
| [05:36] <asterismo> nautilus (i set nautilus as default file manager in xubuntu) opens always in my home, not the folder i selected | |
| [05:36] <asterismo> and that is making the whole applet useless | |
| [05:37] <asterismo> does anybody has any idea? | |
| [06:32] <asterismo> i think i found the problem | |
| [06:32] <asterismo> the problem is that i installed nautilus and it is not in the list of preferred applications | |
| [06:33] <asterismo> in xfce settings menu | |
| [06:33] <asterismo> is that a bug? | |
| [06:34] <asterismo> why XFCE settings do not recognizes nautilus as another file manager other than Thunar? | |
| [06:34] <philipballew> asterismo, you can probably configure that. did you google? | |
| [06:35] <asterismo> yes but i cannot find nothing | |
| [06:35] <asterismo> all howtos say | |
| [06:35] <asterismo> go to preferred applications | |
| [06:35] <asterismo> scroll down the list and select nautilus | |
| [06:36] <asterismo> and i installed nautilus | |
| [06:36] <asterismo> but it is not in the list | |
| [06:36] <asterismo> i can write the command for nautilus (that is simply nautilus) | |
| [06:36] <asterismo> but that makes directory menu plugin not to work | |
| [06:37] <philipballew> do it manually then I guess | |
| [06:38] <asterismo> manually what | |
| [06:39] <philipballew> set it as the prefered app | |
| [06:39] <asterismo> yes, but the directory plugin does not work | |
| [06:39] <philipballew> hum, well i have never run xfce, | |

| [10:28] <kcaze> I'm running Ubuntu on a Macbook and it seems to me that the maximum brightness for my backlight is lower than that of the brightness in Mac OS X. | |
| [10:29] <kcaze> I've searched and found that you can change the brightness by editing the brightness file in /sys/class/backlight/mbp_backlight | |
| [10:29] <kcaze> and was wondering if there's any danger in setting the brightness to past the maximum brightness? | |
| [11:42] <aluex> hi guys,i met a problem. My GTK theme doesn't work. Would anybody please help me? Thanks in advance. | |
| [11:44] <aluex> When I change the gtk theme in the 'Appearance' dialog, it does not make a difference. | |
| [11:44] <aluex> And now my buttons, textboxes and others remain the simple style. | |

| [11:50] <aluex> i updated my system yesterday | |
| [11:51] <nothingspecial> try installing the gnome-tweak-tool and using it to change your theme | |
| [11:51] <aluex> i did, and it doesn't work either./ | |
| [11:51] <nothingspecial> ah | |
| [11:51] <aluex> : < | |
| [11:51] <nothingspecial> are you using a custom theme? | |
| [11:52] <aluex> no, it appears now "very simlpe" | |
| [11:52] <aluex> like Win 95 | |
| [11:52] <aluex> : P | |
| [11:53] <nothingspecial> hi MGnTL | |
| [11:53] <nothingspecial> aluex, has a theme problem | |
| [11:53] <aluex> ehm. | |
| [11:54] <MGnTL> hi. :) | |
| [11:54] <aluex> hello , MGnTL | |
| [11:54] <MGnTL> hey. What's the problem? | |
| [11:55] <aluex> eh, i just cannot change my gtk theme | |
| [11:55] <MGnTL> what release of ubuntu? | |
| [11:55] <aluex> it is 11.10 | |
| [11:55] <MGnTL> okay, how are you trying to change it? | |
| [11:56] <aluex> first, i tried to change it in 'System settings' -> Appearance | |
| [11:56] <aluex> and i failed | |
| [11:56] <aluex> later i searched online and installed gnome-tweak-tool | |
| [11:56] <aluex> and it doesn't work either. | |
| [11:56] <MGnTL> okay. have you logged in and out since? | |
| [11:57] <aluex> yes. | |
| [11:57] <MGnTL> can you change between the default ambiance and radiance ones? | |
| [11:58] <aluex> No, it just makes no difference when i select them. | |
| [11:58] <MGnTL> just a minute while I install gnome-tweka on this machine. :) | |
| [11:58] <aluex> and it now appears like win95 | |
| [11:58] <aluex> okay | |
| [12:00] <MGnTL> sorry; I have no idea. Very odd indeed. I shall look up how to do it via dconf or similiar; you might be best making an account on the Ubuntu Forums and asking there. | |
