ciscosurferHello, is there a specific setting to let Thunar show on the desktop?12:35
somerville32ciscosurfer, Like a launcher on the desktop?12:36
ciscosurfersomerville32: yeah, i suppose...is there an equivalent to gconf-editor for xfce?12:36
somerville32No.12:36
ciscosurferbummer12:36
crimsunwell, if it uses gconf, you can use gconf-editor. :-)12:36
somerville32Just simply create a desktop launcher :)12:36
ciscosurferok12:37
ciscosurferi just right-clicked and xfcedesktop just closed.12:38
ciscosurferhmm12:38
somerville32Wonderful :)12:38
somerville32alt+f212:38
somerville32xfdesktop12:38
somerville32click ok12:39
somerville32What version of Xubuntu are you using?12:39
ciscosurferwhatever comes with xubuntu-desktop12:39
ciscosurfersorry12:39
ciscosurfermisread your question12:39
ciscosurfer...how can I find this out?12:39
ciscosurfernm12:39
ciscosurferversion 4.3.99.1 (Xfce 4.4 BETA2)12:39
ciscosurferok, got it back up and running12:40
ciscosurferthat was weird12:40
somerville32What version of Xubuntu are you using? ie. 6.06, 6.10?12:40
ciscosurferEdgy 6.1012:40
somerville32When you right click, do you get an applications menu or context menu?12:40
ciscosurferyeah, everything is fine again12:41
ciscosurfercontext menu12:41
somerville32Ok12:41
somerville32Just create a launcher12:41
somerville32ie.12:41
somerville32Thunar12:41
ciscosurfergot it12:41
ciscosurferthanks12:41
somerville32np12:41
ciscosurferanother question if i may...12:41
somerville32Feel free to hang here :)12:41
somerville32Sure! :)12:41
ciscosurferi went into preferences within Thunar to make items open on single click...inside Thunar, single-click works just fine...what about on my desktop?12:42
bad_cablesbefore i pave over this distro for YDL, are there any last words from the xubuntu crowd??12:42
somerville32bad_cables, Whats wrong?12:42
bad_cablesmy video out12:42
bad_cableson an iBook12:42
somerville32ciscosurfer, Sorry. Doesn't apply to desktop.12:42
ciscosurferhurumph12:43
ciscosurferokay12:43
bad_cablesand nobody cares because Jobbs is mad at motorola so PPC is dead12:43
ciscosurferso what controls the desktop?  like nautilus does for gnome?12:43
somerville32ciscosurfer, Nothing right now, lol12:43
bad_cablesi mean... people on the ubuntu board said the problem was impossible to fix12:44
ciscosurfersomerville32: okay....may I ask what you personally like about Xubuntu?12:44
bad_cablesthere is a patch for the 2.4 kernels but not the modern kernels?12:44
somerville32bad_cables, 2.4 is still modern. If using 2.4 will fix your problem, you could always just use the 2.4 release series instead of 2.612:44
bad_cablesis there a xubuntu live disk that has this ?12:45
somerville32ciscosurfer, It works fast, looks good, functional, and is cool :)12:45
bad_cablesor now that i have installed it, can i just update the kernel to 2.4?12:45
somerville32bad_cables, How would you install it?12:45
bad_cablesi dont know12:45

bad_cablesi mean, i am not a linux kernel hacker, i am a musician12:46
somerville32hehe12:46
ciscosurfersomerville32: I am mainly a gnome user...tried kubuntu, and really didn't like it...and the guys over on #kubuntu were anything but friendly...saying to Google this and to Google that....I much prefer Xubuntu over Kubuntu...12:46
bad_cablesi have the curse of having to have a website with my mp3's on it... which means that hosting doesnt work for me12:46
bad_cablesi have to serve12:46
bad_cablesi used to actually serve beos12:46
bad_cablesand it worked!12:46
somerville32bad_cables, You could always compile the server from source12:46
somerville32Or you might be able to find a debian package online12:47
bad_cableswell the reason that i paved over my website with PHP and Pearl working was that i thought that someone that supported PPC a little better would have fixed this12:47
bad_cablesi mean, what i really need is to find someone who knows this problem12:47
ciscosurfersomerville32: is there a way (short of signing in using a different user) that I can customize my desktop for Xubuntu and not have it look they same when I log back in to Gnome?12:47
ciscosurfericons, etc.12:48
somerville32It should be separate already12:48
ciscosurferlet me check again...brb12:48

ciscosurfersomerville32: well, the launcher I created under Xubuntu now shows up on my Ubuntu desktop12:49
somerville32Thats to be expected.12:49
somerville32~/Desktop is the desktop for both Gnome, Kubuntu, and Xfce412:50
ciscosurferthat's what I mean though...no way to make the two sessions separate is this regard (again, short of creating a sep. user)....12:50
ciscosurferokay12:50
ciscosurfergotcha12:50
somerville32You can most likely configure gnome to use a different folder as the desktop12:50
=== gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #xubuntu
ciscosurferso, I should just create a sep. user if I want true separation12:51
ciscosurfersomerville32: you can12:51
somerville32ciscosurfer, I suppose but I don't see why you would want it12:51
ciscosurfersomerville32: anyway, you have been most helpful and I appreciate the time you taken to coach me :-)12:51
somerville32No problem! :)12:51

bad_cablesits a 2.4 kernel01:07
bad_cablesor do i need to download a new version of xubuntu?01:07
ciscosurfersomerville32: is there a way to install an entire theme (interface, windows, icons....all in one step?)01:07
ciscosurfersomerville32: like in gnome?01:07
somerville32bad_cables, I could try and help but I've never done it before myself.01:07

ciscosurferah, ubuntu, ya little devil ya01:09
ciscosurferbad_cables: let me check my bookmarks for some good threads to help you on your way (kernel compilation, etc.)01:09
ciscosurferbad_cables: hold pls...01:09
ciscosurferbad_cables: this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158) says it is for compiling the 2.6.18 kernel, but I think it will help get you started01:11
bad_cablesNote: You can replace "386" with anything you want. Like "k7" or "686."01:13
bad_cableswhat that heck do i do for a mac?01:13

bad_cablesi mean... power-pc?01:15
bad_cablesor PPC?01:15

psykidellichello....i have been trying to get my old 3com vortex card recognised by ubuntu but I have failed in last 2 days....somebody suggested to compile from source but I think thats also not possible as it requires packages from internet which i cant connect as the network card itself is not working....also my USB device is not getting recognised so that only way to transfer data is through burned CD which is simply a pain.....i have ask02:55
psykidelliced in all IRC rooms related to ubuntu but nobody has been able to figure out whats the issue, also the card was working good when my prof. was using it though it had 2.6.11 kernel and now Ubuntu comes with 2.6.17-10 generic kernel.....so is there anything that i can try other then buying a new network card?02:55

ardyayou can't04:01
somerville32ardya, Why not?04:01
ardyaI explained the situation earlier, and you didnt know04:02
somerville32Oh, right right04:02
ardyaapparently there's a bug in xorg that prevents ctrl alt +/- cycling of resolutions04:03
ardyaand for some reason gnome and xfce wont use a virtual desktop04:04
somerville32Maybe if you qualified what you meant by Virtual Desktops, we'd be able to help more.04:05
ardyathe latter may be a feature desicion the maintainers made to please winpupz04:05
ardyaa virtual desktop is one whose desktop real estate is larger than the viewable area of your screen04:06
somerville32And then there is usually a pager in the panel that allows you switch to different desktops?04:06
somerville32And/or you can just glide to the other desktops by moving your mouse to the corner of the screen?04:07
ardyaits not related to how many desktops04:07
ardyaits related to the size04:07

ciscosurfersomerville32: is it possible to modify my system sounds?04:44
somerville32bigfuzzyjesus, You wait for Feisty to be released ;] 04:45
somerville32ciscosurfer, I believe so.04:45

bigfuzzyjesussomerville32, when is the scheduled release04:47

ciscosurferon xfce-look.org, they have a section for System Sounds.  Just wondering how I can modify events, etc.04:48
somerville32err... 4.3.99, sorry04:48
somerville32ciscosurfer, I saw that too04:48
somerville32ciscosurfer, And thats why I said I believed so04:48
somerville32ciscosurfer, But actually how to do it... I'm not sure.04:48
toristX11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. The application 'gaim' lost its connection to the display :10.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application.04:48
ciscosurfersomerville32: ok...i'll keep looking.  maybe we could ask the channel for help as well :-)04:48
toristgot that error after a sudo ssh -X user@host (also tried -Y)04:49

o9what is the prob?05:00
toristo9: i try this sudo ssh -X -Y user@host05:00
toristand i get this when i try to run something with a gui, say mousepad:05:00
toristX11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. The application 'mousepad' lost its connection to the display :10.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application.05:00
toristi have forwarding enabled in the sshd_config file also05:00
o9wait... i don't know much about ssh because i dont use that05:01
o9i know it is like telnet with extra modern features05:01
o9so you are trying to log into your system remote and run apps?05:02
toristyeah05:02
gpocentektorist: why do you use sudo?05:02
o9see what confuses me is that X is graffix05:02
toristand VNC doesn't work either05:02
toristbecause it can't forward the X05:02
o9fowarding X is out of my league... sorry man05:02
o9i would say it sounds like the remote user doesn't have permissions??05:03
o9but i dont know05:03
o9did you try the ubuntu/debian forums to find similar problems?05:04

SpasticteapotIt's all the things I liked about OSX without most of the things I did'nt like.05:25
bigfuzzyjesusSpasticteapot, a think pad + linux, a winning combination05:25
SpasticteapotI could extole the virtues of the Thinkpad line all day, but you've doubtless heard it by now.05:26
SpasticteapotThey're actually very inexpensive used - corporate fleets often dump laptops on eBay, and often include the residual warranty, which is usually between eight and fourteen months.05:26

SpasticteapotAs a side note to anyone wondering, I've owned a Dell, a HP/Compaq Evo (business-line) laptop, and an Apple. Apple machines are now made by ASUS (and are a better deal if you need a core 2 duo), but IBM is still even better.05:31
ciscosurferapparently, there is a more recent version than what is in the repos05:31
ciscosurferprobably have to compile it05:32
somerville32ciscosurfer, Right05:32
SpasticteapotBigfuzzyjesus - $430 is too expensive for you?05:32

gpocentekMaximilian1st: you can log in as a new user in a tty and run 'startx -- :1', then switch with ctrl+alt+{f7,f9}01:34
gpocentekbut there's no non-geeky way01:34
Maximilian1stgpocentek, The geeky side is the CLI? It's ok for me.01:35
gpocentekgreat :)01:36
Maximilian1stBy the way. Will feisty come with avahi by default? I switched to using ifplugd and wpa_supplicant...01:36
gpocentekwe already have avahi in feisty IIRC01:38
gpocentekbut I haven't really looked at that01:38
Maximilian1stYes avahi installs by default.01:39

Maximilian1stTheSheep, I just tried the installer and it works very good, just mixed up my font size but appart of that it's good.02:37
Maximilian1stapart from that...02:37
willuminateMaximilian1st: i pinpointed the problem that at startup, xubuntu always puts eth0 as priority and won't give it up, until i ifdown eth0 or ifconfig eth0 down. Now ath0 has always been up, but somehow can't refresh automatically, so i have to ifdown and ifup it again to release & renew the ip02:39
TheSheepMaximilian1st: put Xft.dpi: 96 into your Xft.xrdb file02:39
willuminatenow i wonder if there's something i can do to make xubuntu prioritise ath0 over eth002:40
TheSheepwilluminate: edit /etc/network/interfaces02:40

kennellMouse08:46
kumamotois it me doesn't firefox seem to crap out on too many tabs open08:46
kennellyou know Pull it over ...08:46
TheSheepkennell: it doesn't work on the desktop -- either open your Desktop directory in Thunar, and do it there, or hold down ctrl when clicking an icon -- then you can select multiple ones08:47
kennellAh well, thats not too bad... on Ubuntu/Kubuntu its seems to work ... well anyway i like XFCE more08:48
somerville32:)08:48
kennellless Mainstream, and doesnt use as mutch Ressources as Gnome/KDE08:48
TheSheepkennell: originally xfce didn't have icons on the desktop at all, they have been added pretty recently08:48
kennellOh ok ...08:49
TheSheepthey can still act up sometimes08:49
kennelleven my System is brandnew and could handle Gnome/KDE easly ....08:49
TheSheepespecially in large sizes08:49
kennellnot that bad ;)08:49

TheSheepkennell: google maps and picasa got "ported" to linux08:58
kennellSorry, but GIMP is nothing compared with Photoshop08:59
TheSheepkennell: that is, they removed enough hacked code that the programs can be run in a windows emulator on linux08:59
kennellIts nice, but Photoshop just got more Functions08:59
TheSheepkennell: no, it just has more ready to use resources08:59
blizzsynaptic (or however its called) is merely a frontend to apt-get, isnt it?08:59
TheSheepkennell: then again, all the photoshop-made pictures look the same, because they all use the same boring effects and premade graphics09:00
