[01:34] or do you not know what that is? [01:35] i kinda do [01:35] the cmdline i chose didn't mention either [01:35] yeah... you are using aiglx.... [01:35] that is newer/better yes? [01:36] i'm using current nvidia drivers [01:36] well... yeah [01:36] which seemed to support aiglx without xgl [01:36] sorta.... yeah you are using it because of your graphics card and it is open source divers [01:37] anyways, I do not believe there is a fix for it... I could not find one and I just removed it because I can just switch desktops the way beryl allows you to [01:38] i know but still... [01:38] bleh [01:38] .... hold all three down and spin the cube.... plus you can set it so you can mouse over or use the mouse wheel at the edge of the screen [01:39] hey why cant i add a workspace switcher to my top panel? [01:39] sorry.... it has something to do with the fact that the native window manager is not in charge of the desktop anymore and the windows environment does not know how to interpret the command [01:40] are you talking to me?

[01:49] i have another semi-related question while he's thinking [01:50] ok... what is the question? [01:50] is it possible to enable multiple workspaces in regards to the send-to menu? [01:50] eg: right click an app > send-to workspace 2 [01:51] only way i can seem to move apps is by dragging off the edge until the cube rotates [01:51] no... not with beryl.... that is a function of other window managers [01:51] ah bummer [01:51] beryl allows you to move it to the next.... no not a bummer.... there is more functionality with beryl [01:52] I can do all the same things and more but faster with beryl.... are you familiar how t manipulate your desktop with beryl? [01:52] well, it's not my preferred method, so bummer for me :/ [01:52] no i'm very new to beryl [01:52] about 3 hours so far [01:52] how can i move other than a big mouse drag? [01:54] cool... well press and hold: ctrl+alt+left mouse button.........and move the mouse [01:54] that just rotates the cube for me [01:55] also use the beryl manager to select the wheel over effect at the desktop edge... [01:55] oh I see [01:55] you want another way to move windows to other desktops [01:55] yes, the mouse drag is very long [01:56] well there are none that I know of exactly [01:56] as i said, bummer :p [01:56] why not just switch to the appropriate desktop and open the app there?

I used slackware for a long time [02:25] you know, no dependencies, just .tgz packages [02:25] well, I've had now a debian server for two years but started with linux desktop last august [02:25] installpkg neshtosi.tgz [02:25] :0 [02:25] removepkg and so on :) [02:25] Zvezdichko`away: sounds complicated *g* I just "grew up" with apt [02:26] hyper_ch, a portative database program like MS Access [02:26] ms access is portative? [02:26] it's not complicated. .tgz is like .tar.gz. The packages for Slackware are just tarballs [02:27] hyper_ch, we call it that one in Bulgarian... this is the word [02:27] I know that tgz are tar.gz ^^ [02:27] Zvezdichko`away: well, what do you mean by "portative"? [02:28] well, it's difficult to be explained but... maybe a database program for office needs [02:28] hmmm... oh well, never mind :) [02:29] apt-get is quite useful :) [02:29] it's a good package manager... I tend to think this is the great strength of debian(-based) distros === MagicFab [n=MagicFab@ubuntu/member/magicfab] has joined #xubuntu === Smygis [n=smygis@e611.cust.vannas.net] has joined #xubuntu [02:29] have you tried rpm?

[02:34] like a week ago [02:34] then you remember more than me Catoptromancy... but then Zvezdichko`away already proved my memory isn't the best one [02:35] heh [02:35] Well we spent quite awhile trying to figure it ouy [02:35] out [02:35] I figured it out! [02:35] you mean the Start menu? [02:35] Catoptromancy: how? [02:35] I just reformatted [02:35] And copied all my hidden files/folders in /home/ [02:35] Catoptromancy: well, reformatting the drive helps always :) but I'm sure there's another way to do it [02:36] When I put them back into /home/ cuz I made backups [02:36] the menu came back! [02:36] the hogging menu [02:36] so i knew exactly where to look [02:36] .local [02:37] I copied my whole /home/ folder to a few DVDs and everything has htt exact same settings [02:37] I didnt even need to reserver list xchat [02:37] Catoptromancy: so you know the exact config file? [02:37] smoothest reformat ever [02:38] wasnt a config [02:38] just files tucked away in .local [02:38] Catoptromancy: ah ok [02:38] .local/share/apps/wine/winecrap [02:39] make a howto on ubuntuforums.org :) [02:39] Its actually on a bug report [02:39] what makes xubuntu to be better than ubuntu? [02:39] we really investigated this [02:39] everything! [02:39] well dunno really, but Xfce is absolutely perfect for me [02:40] cept for a few bugs I can work around [02:40] it's very simple ... :) that's why I still prefer KDE [02:40] and I'm currently Downloading the KDE 4 [02:40] I like simple [02:40] does exactly what I need it to, nothing more [02:41] noob: better depends on the criteria that you apply for judging [02:41] I liked simple before, I liked it very much and I found out that bash is exactly what I need [02:41] Catoptromancy: ok, then submit the bug at launchpad [02:41] There is no better distro/windows manager....its all what people prefer [02:41] a friend of mine said to me that I don't know how to hold the mouse ;) [02:42] well, one big criteria is how fast it is, is there a huge difference of the ammount of ram it consumes? [02:42] compared with gnome [02:42] well people say its faster [02:42] I think that Gnome is... [02:42] more noticable on slower machines I assume [02:42] gnome is not ram-eater [02:43] it's quite simple imo [02:43] Way faster than XP, only thing I can really judge it on [02:43] ok [02:43] Zvezdichko`away: gnome uses more ram and xfce [02:43] when it wants to crash a program, it just crashes.....XP gives you 5 error messages telling you its crashing. [02:44] heh [02:44] This program has performed an illegal operation and for that reason will be killed... er.. shut down [02:44] Windows Really Good edition [02:45] ya [02:45] Xfce just closes window, no message [02:45] no freeze [02:45] yes, [02:45] there's a Crash center for KDE however [02:45] and it still happens more rarely than XP [02:46] of course [02:46] do you know that Vista has a red screen of death and a blue screen of death altogether? [02:46] I think for looks, usability, and speed Xfce the best manager [02:46] needs a good balance of them all [02:47] Slackware is suppose to be the fastest, yet I barely got it installed [02:47] I'm old slackware user [02:47] ;) [02:47] dsl is fast [02:47] it's a bit woody but it;s simple [02:47] dsl is fast, even ran on my 60 mb machine [02:48] but should I download the 64 bit version if I got a amd64 or just be safe and take 32 bit? [02:48] haven't tried feather yet [02:48] but I hated every program it came with [02:48] I want flash [02:48] noob: depends on how much you want to invest time on gettting things to work [02:48] noob: as a desktop I recommend up to know 32bit [02:48] amd64 will be more suited to your machine [02:48] 32bit will still work [02:48] btw an offtopic question- is there skype for AMD 64? [02:49] Zvezdichko`away: I don't think so... but the 32bit version could also be made to run somehow... same was with flash === darrend_ [n=darren@43-015.adsl.zetnet.co.uk] has joined #xubuntu [02:50] !bug 1 [02:50] For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute.
