maxamillion | Naughtyboy: notice the foot icon on the menu and when you unpack the "Theme-Pack" is has a Gnome directory in there .... this guy just made the theme for both gnome and xfce but he is running gnome | 12:24 |
---|---|---|
Naughtyboy | aha OK...so GTK works a little different in gnome compared to xfwm4 ..? | 12:25 |
maxamillion | Naughtyboy: no, but Gnome menus are written a little differently than xfce menus ;) | 12:26 |
Naughtyboy | ok..I see | 12:27 |
maxamillion | Naughtyboy: actually I think Gnome does have some custom gtk extensions that are part of their gnome-libs which is why when we put applications in xubuntu that have gnome-libs the developers remove those dependencies and recompile with the equvalent "pure gtk" libraries | 12:28 |

Naughtyboy | maxamillion, ..OK..yeah well..you would know better than me.. | 12:31 |
Naughtyboy | ;=) | 12:31 |
maxamillion | :) | 12:32 |
maxamillion | well ... gnome libraries are really bloated and require extra resources which results in a slower program, that's actually the original reason we don't use them ... but meh | 12:33 |
Naughtyboy | yeah..well sometime u just have to...I guess.. | 12:33 |
ShiftOptionK | 'k, so the message I get when I try to use the GDM theme is "The greeter application appears to be crashing, attempting to use another one." | 12:34 |

ShiftOptionK | maxamillion: I'm totally drawing a blank at why this is happening and what I should do about it | 12:37 |
ShiftOptionK | It happens with every 3rd party theme I've tried so far | 12:37 |
maxamillion | Naughtyboy: also, on the screenshot on that theme's page look at the Terminal window ... Gnome terminal is the one that has a "tabs" menu, not xfce ;) | 12:37 |
Naughtyboy | w00t....exactly wich one of the words was unfriendly....the D work or the S word ...? | 12:38 |
maxamillion | the D | 12:38 |
maxamillion | the S is tollerable and i don't mind | 12:38 |
Naughtyboy | ok then...thnx for pointing it out | 12:39 |
maxamillion | i don't think its that bad, but we attempt to appeal to all present or potentially present users ..... | 12:39 |

=== vorian [n=steve@ubuntu/member/Vorian] has joined #xubuntu | ||
g4h | it had that previously mentioned hangup while force restarting mono-samba, then i got past that and it was mocing along fine till i looked over and noticed i had a black screen with nothing but a mouse pointer | 12:50 |
maxamillion | g4h: edgy is 6.10 | 12:51 |
g4h | so figured whatev, just let it do its thing, but after a while i noticed it wasnt doing anything, hit my shutdown hotkey and it brought the window up but all the characters were boxes. knowing which one was restart, i did so and yeah...its b0rked | 12:51 |
g4h | hmm...something in my system disagreed | 12:52 |
g4h | because thats what i thought, too | 12:52 |
maxamillion | strange ... | 12:52 |
g4h | i can get a root prompt just fine under recovery mode, but regular boot gets past login and hangs | 12:53 |
g4h | reverting to prompt under normal boot lets me login as well, so i'm assuming its just xfce | 12:53 |
maxamillion | :( | 12:54 |
maxamillion | well ... i really have to go | 12:54 |
maxamillion | ttyl | 12:54 |

g4h | i'll get right on that as soon as my server is running again | 01:02 |

Shaba1 | Its just something I thought would be cute to play with b | 02:15 |
Shaba1 | t I am wondering why it does not wrok | 02:16 |

Shaba1 | and when I go to the screen saver setting | 03:46 |
Shaba1 | this is riduculous | 03:46 |
sigmamu188 | do you see a box labled lock screen after [time] | 03:46 |
Shaba1 | yes and it is NOT checked | 03:46 |
sigmamu188 | hmm | 03:46 |
sigmamu188 | are you running kde or gnome? | 03:47 |
Shaba1 | OK powering down again | 03:47 |
Shaba1 | nope whatever installed with xubuntu | 03:47 |
sigmamu188 | they both are | 03:47 |
sigmamu188 | lol | 03:47 |
Shaba1 | I think that is called xfre | 03:47 |
sigmamu188 | xfce | 03:48 |
sigmamu188 | but it starts probably with gnome services running if i am not mistaken | 03:48 |
Shaba1 | rebooting again | 03:48 |
sigmamu188 | when you reboot | 03:48 |
sigmamu188 | open the process manager | 03:48 |
Shaba1 | HOW!!!! | 03:48 |
sigmamu188 | hold on | 03:48 |
sigmamu188 | applications > system > processmanager | 03:49 |
sigmamu188 | please dont yell i am trying to help | 03:49 |
Shaba1 | I know | 03:49 |
Shaba1 | but sayign something with out giving instructions as to how is frustrating me | 03:49 |
sigmamu188 | i understand i will try to be more descriptive with my instructions | 03:50 |
Shaba1 | I spent the last 7 hours going thru the same thing with the people in php-gtk | 03:50 |
sigmamu188 | after opening process manager via the command above | 03:50 |
Shaba1 | oK i AM THERE | 03:50 |

sigmamu188 | its cool | 03:52 |
Carsten_ | sigmamu188: thx for concern... i am getting too tired now... sorry | 03:52 |
Shaba1 | I did not read that line about set kill | 03:52 |
Shaba1 | but the thing is I would not mind it if it would act like a windows screen saver and just come back on when you moved the mouse or hit a keyboard key | 03:53 |
sigmamu188 | Carsten_: sorry i could not help try taking to maxamillion the next time he is on here | 03:53 |
sigmamu188 | he is the man | 03:53 |
sigmamu188 | typically it should | 03:53 |

Shaba1 | never mind | 06:08 |
Shaba1 | I forgot what I was going to ask now | 06:08 |
g4h | one of many reasons we encourage people to 'just ask' =p | 06:09 |
g4h | like so | 06:10 |
g4h | so okay, how do i change the permissions for a user home folder so i can access them remotely through samba? | 06:11 |
g4h | the folder perms, not the samba ones. those i have tackled. | 06:12 |
grazie | g4h: File mode bits can be change by using the chmod command or right clicking the folder in thunar. However, I'm surprised you can't read the folder with the default settings. | 06:18 |
g4h | I don't have access to thunar otherwise this would be solved, hehe | 06:19 |
g4h | a botched upgrade has me stuck in terminal and i'm just backing up files before i wipe the install | 06:19 |
g4h | and yeah it momentarilly threw me off that i couldnt access that one, but no worries as long as i can figure out how to fix it ~.^ | 06:21 |
Shaba1 | hello guys | 06:22 |
Shaba1 | and ladies if there are any in a techie room | 06:22 |

Grey_Loki | What is it about thunar that you don't like? | 09:10 |
mlc | but online it says a newer version is available | 09:10 |
Grey_Loki | it's probably their latest unstable version | 09:10 |
mlc | haha | 09:10 |
mlc | do you have Thunar? | 09:10 |
mlc | I like ik but it is buggy | 09:10 |
chewychomp | how so? | 09:11 |
Grey_Loki | Unless there's something in the changelog that you explicitly need, i'd just wait until it gets uploaded to the repositories. | 09:11 |
mlc | ok | 09:11 |
mlc | well | 09:11 |
mlc | uhm how do I say it | 09:11 |

mlc | although these sorts of things happen | 09:13 |
mlc | chewycomp or grayloki, what can I do about the problem? | 09:14 |
Grey_Loki | Hmm. There are several alternative file managers out and around. XFFM for one, and I think that Konqueror is another one. | 09:14 |

Grey_Loki | Have you tried searching the (x)ubuntu forums? | 09:16 |
mlc | oh, I searched until I drop | 09:16 |
