I tried just clicking and dragging but its not working =/ [05:10] geck1, you would need to greate a launcher for the desktop shortcut [05:10] *create [05:14] geck1: right click [05:15] geck1: and for the appplications menu right click it and choose properties then go to edit menu [05:15] geck1: if you have a crappy one button mouse you can fix that under settings by assigning a hotkey perhaps [05:17] ok I have a question, not sure if it is related to xubuntu or if I should be asking elsewhere, but I have a microsoft intellipoint mouse. It has 5 buttons, but the two extra buttons only act as a middle click, any way to tell linux to use the two extra buttons correctly? [05:17] gerro, when i tried to edit menu, I don't see any of the programs in applications [05:18] eagle-101, check your xorg.conf.......is the mouse set as ps/2 or explorer? [05:18] hang on looking [05:19] geck1: you see where it says "---include --- system" that is generated by the system and contains the applications section [05:19] and WHAT are these 2 extra buttons SUPPOSED to do? [05:19] geck1: I really don't know which file that would be needing the editing however why not create your own section? [05:20] eagle-101: what do you want those buttons to do? [05:21] i'll check it out, thanks gerro =) [05:21] gerro I want to be able to assign them functions [05:21] rather then having them emulate a middle click [05:22] vidd_laptop, neither ps/2 or explorer was found [05:22] Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" [05:23] ok...so it is ps/2 [05:23] ok yeah I guess [05:23] so is there something that is better to set it to?

[05:25] gerro, ps2 controller would be cool... would be interesting to see how a pc dealt with the two joysticks [05:25] you need to run.... [05:25] eagle-101: two? [05:26] i need to find it.... [05:26] eagle-101: why would I need two? [05:26] gerro, a ps2 controller has two analog sticks [05:26] although two mouses would be awesome! [05:26] how do I enable that? [05:26] you could use 2 buttons for one mouse and other 2 for other one [05:26] gerro, heh [05:26] maybe have them mirror each other on output screen [05:26] gerro, plug one mous in the ps/2 and the other in the usb [05:27] vidd_laptop, or just use a laptop and leave the touchpad on [05:27] vidd_laptop: but they would be sending input to the one cursor on screen [05:27] VERY annoying [05:27] and plug in a usb mouse (like I do) [05:27] I want 2 cursors each mouse has its own [05:27] one for reach hand ya know [05:28] gerro, heh [05:28] eagle-101, i need to look upth emapping program for you.... [05:28] then I could like play 2 games at once like that [05:28] vidd_laptop, thanks for your work [05:28] gerro, only one problem... you only have one brain [05:28] but brain is split into 2 hemispheres [05:30] true... go play counterstrike and another shooting game at the same time... tell me if you are any good at both of them :) [05:31] umm one more question =) [05:31] yeah but certain actions would require the extra buttons [05:31] i just downloaded an xfce theme, and I have a bunch of .xpm files [05:31] what do I do with them? [05:31] geck1: sweet what theme? [05:31] xfce has themes O.o [05:31] LiNsta-Black [05:32] geck1: do updatedb as root then run locate with the name of other xfce themes you have [05:32] sweet [05:32] but I don't know how to install it >_< [05:32] eagle-101: duh [05:32] sorry gerro can you say that again in more stupid peoples terms [05:32] geck1: after you find where xfce keeps its themes you copy that folder there and set it to the same permissions [05:32] I'm new to linux =P [05:33] I think he means sudo updatedb [05:33] then sudo find / | grep name of other theam [05:33] I *think* [05:34] geck1: updatedb updates your search database and locate searches for things. so locate Crux since it is an already installed theme oh its in /usr/share/themes/ next we copy that folder with xpm files into that directory by using mv command or running thunar as root [05:35] my head is going to splode. ummm OK i'll try heh [05:35] just mv file1 file2 where file1 is the file you want moved over file2 [05:35] geck1: then you run ls -la and look at the left where it says drwxr-xr-x make sure the newly installed folder says that too and any subdirectories if not you use chmod command on it http://www.ezau.com/latest/tools/chmod.html [05:36] chmod -r 3numbers folder [05:36] geck1, its a bit of a learning curve sorry :( [05:36] -r for recursive might not work if subdirectories have different permissions [05:36] but its worth a try! [05:36] gerro, yep :) [05:37] eagle-101, i have it.... [05:37] I'm all about trying to figure it out, I'm just a bit slow at first =P [05:37] to be honest it would be nice to have a themes manager diddy that did this work for you O.o [05:38] vidd_laptop, ok, I'm listening :) (well if you don't mind I'll be back in about 2 minutes) [05:39] ok, I have open a window with the themes in it at /themes, and I have open the location where the theme I downloaded is located [05:39] eagle-101: you have a theme manager now just need an import option [05:39] It won't let me just drag it into that file though [05:39] use xev to determine what the mouse buttons are named and xmodmad to map them to something else [05:39] geck1: you have to be ROOT to do that so do sudo su then run thunar [05:40] geck1: yes I know its confusing since it just doesn't work but gives no signs of why, I slip up with same mistake all time [05:40] its ok, I've used the terminal before, I should be able to figure it out =P [05:41] so my not just do gksudo thunar? [05:41] geck1: anyway what theme is it, it look kool? [05:41] geck1, linux is different then windows as in it won't let you delete your critical files without first being an admin... and ubuntu goes one step further by never allowing you to be admin by default [05:41] thats a good thing =P [05:41] or sudo cp /item/path /item/destination [05:41] so no rouge scripts deleting your system32 files :) [05:42] eagle-101, you get my line? [05:42] eagle-101, you get my line? [05:42] use xev to determine what the mouse buttons are named and xmodmad to map them to something else [05:42] vidd_laptop: I got your line! [05:42] ok :) [05:42] where is the tmp directory? i just lost it [05:43] vidd_laptop, thanks, I don't need to change anything? [05:43] err in my xorg? [05:43] cancel that, found it [05:43] well....yeah....that is what xmodemap will do [05:43] ok [05:43] oh..no...nothing there [05:44] i wanted to know what x thought your mouse was to be sure these apps worked like i expect them to work [05:44] vidd_laptop, ok, and I should be fine right? [05:45] just back-up your original map.... [05:45] OK, I attempted to do sudo cp /tmp/LinstaBlack /usr/share/themes [05:45] dont be like me and unmap the key [05:45] vidd_laptop, heh :) [05:45] how did you fix that! [05:45] and it says cp: omitting directory '/tmp/LinstaBlack' [05:45] re install === Lectus [n=freddy@20132194120.user.veloxzone.com.br] has joined #xubuntu [05:46] O.o [05:46] any ideas? [05:46] no live cd at that time =\ [05:47] ood === [tokin] [n=ryan@dynamic-acs-24-144-225-167.zoominternet.net] has joined #xubuntu [05:47] was TRYing to unmap the key and entered the wrong number [05:47] two buttons (both middle click and one of the extras) is called geck 1 [05:47] wah? [05:47] vidd_laptop, *that* would suck [05:48] it was a laptop...so there was only ONE button...... [05:49] hrm...wonderif putting a ps2 keyboard would have let me fix that..... [05:49] that would suck... and there is no other button that does quite the same thing ;) [05:49] oh well...im NOT going to experiment to find out! [05:49] vidd_laptop, aww come on! [05:49] where is your spirit of adventure! [05:50] that went out with breezey [05:50] update: I have the theme folder copied to /usr/share/themes! [05:50] mmm what happened O.o [05:50] what next? [05:50] geck1, congrats! [05:50] what do you mean? [05:50] to use it =) === OGDA [n=thomas@adsl-71-149-247-111.dsl.mtry01.sbcglobal.net] has joined #xubuntu [05:50] my keyboard has 2 enter buttons [05:51] one to far bottom right [05:51] vidd_laptop, well what happened that your spirit of adventure disapeared? === vidd_laptop unmapped the key === OGDA is now known as BFTD [05:51] then destroyed sudo [05:51] vidd_laptop, how did you do that! [05:51] on a headless server [05:51] typo [05:52] then did rm -Rf / as root lol [05:52] and NOT using visudo [05:52] Hello! I just installed my old Ubuntu Dapper CD, but I'd like to install feisty. But when I try to install using the live CD it just hangs at 15% (detecting file systems). The same whith Kubuntu, but not with Xubuntu. It looks like a bug. Has anyone experienced this too? [05:52] gerro, couldnt do that...root was disabled...and sudo was messed up [05:52] Lectus, try checking out if your file systems are mounted or not [05:53] with the live cd, I had to manually unmount my partitions to let it install [05:53] Lectus, mine hung at 6% for about half an hour, and finally went through [05:53] (mine hung at 15% before I realized it was stuck on filesystem) [05:53] Otherwise you can download the alternate CD, and just install from it. If you don't have enough RAM (on an older system) like mine, sometimes the alt CD is best === vidd_laptop refuses to use the live cd.... [05:54] eagle-101: It should be unmounted or mounted? === vidd_laptop KNOWS he's going to install...... [05:54] Lectus, unmounted >.> [05:54] vidd_laptop, I almost did the same thing and used the non-live cd [05:54] my xubuntu install was not fun (though it was marginally easier then gentoo ;) ) [05:54] At the first time I installed it went ok. But I think then it detects my HD installation and keeps mount it. [05:54] vidd_laptop: grub recovery mode :) [05:55] Lectus, yeah so unmount it and it should go [05:55] gerro, yeah....15 miles away at 3 in the morning [05:55] vidd_laptop, ow [05:56] eagle-101: That's really strange. When I checked at places/computer it was unmounted. And it got stuck at 15% locking the mouse and keyboard. [05:56] eagle-101: the hardest part is telling it what partitions to use [05:56] i just left it and did it when i got to work in the am [05:57] TaJMoX, yeah except I had a prior linux install, and it would not let me install over my widows install O.o [05:57] Lectus, is this xubuntu or another variety? === not_Jester45 is now known as Jester45 [05:57] this is ubuntu. when I installed Xubuntu everything went ok and very fast. I think it's a Ubuntu bug [05:57] eagle-101: luckily it comes with various partitioning tools so you can delete your windoze and have a nice free space [05:58] Lectus, how much ram ya got? and hd freespace? [05:58] TaJMoX, yep ;) [05:58] fdisk saved me :) [05:58] fdisk, d, 3, y, w [05:58] vidd_laptop: 256MB RAM with 1GB swap and 10GB free space [05:59] or no 'y' i forget [05:59] Lectus, if you can install xubuntu, then just apt-get ubuntu-desktop [05:59] I've installed dapper before and also Xubuntu festy... but Ubuntu and Kubuntu feisty keeps giving me this error. === geck1 [n=ben@fb.mlc.edu] has left #xubuntu [] [06:00] then install them via apt-get and be done with it.... [06:00] or get the mini-iso and do an internet install [06:00] I know about apt-get ubuntu-desktop, but i really would like a clean install. Can I do apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop after it? Because I use Xubuntu on this machine, but will use Ubuntu on my new machine that will arrive. [06:01] though reporting your problems to ubuntu might help (#ubuntu perhaps?) [06:01] Lectus, you want a clean intall....get the mini-iso.... [06:02] im back [06:02] yes, I reported on #ubuntu. But no one seems to have a know exactly what is the problem. [06:02] i have it onmy downloads page: http:..www.vidd.us/downloads [06:02] I'm asking here because maybe anyone had this problem too [06:02] vidd_laptop, take a look at my rant about trackers :) [06:02] Lectus, I have (at the exact same number too) but I was able to fix it [06:03] Lectus, also make darn sure you have a valid LiveCD === kalikiana [n=kalikian@xdsl-84-44-177-197.netcologne.de] has joined #xubuntu [06:03] does your md5hash work? [06:03] I had it and then install Xubuntu to try and for my surprise Xubuntu didn't have this bug. And I ended up liking Xubuntu. :P [06:03] eagle-101, what was the problem you had earlier today? i had the answer but its out of my log now [06:03] eagle-101, i dont have the md5hash file.... [06:03] The CD is valid cause its from the ship it and also verified at the startuo for CD errors === vidd_laptop had a hard enough time finding the iso! [06:04] Lectus, mmm ok [06:04] Lectus, i got 5 cds from them and only two worked [06:04] vidd_laptop, its not hard, just go to where the install is oh hang on :) [06:06] vidd_laptop, http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/feisty/release/MD5SUMS [06:06] it's interesting how Xubuntu has almost the same functionallity and look of Ubuntu (gnome) and is a lot faster. Maybe I'll install Xubuntu again on my new machine. [06:07] eagle-101, asfar as i know they are good....but idk where the hash table is for the mini iso [06:07] you could run your own has after downloading [06:08] if it works tell me so i know [06:08] my last setup with Xubuntu + Enlightenment desktop rocked even more :D [06:08] yuck [06:08] i dislike the look of enlightenment [06:08] heh [06:08] enlightenment is not bad [06:08] it even has themes [06:09] I liked it. It was easy to configure and with cool themes [06:09] (I was trying it earlier) === johnnytainted [n=johnnyta@c-24-7-22-106.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #xubuntu === geck2 [n=ben@fb.mlc.edu] has joined #xubuntu [06:09] Jester45, i would rather point the downloader to the original site for the hash...makes it actually MEAN something [06:09] also very light [06:09] I did not care for it so much myself, but it is a fine piece of work [06:10] well I tried restarting to see if it would find it then, but it still isn't. The theme is in the usr/share/themes folder, but its not showing up in the user interface panel [06:10] well, I run that Ubuntu feisty CD again. If it hangs I'll go back to the trusty Xubuntu. :D [06:10] see you later [06:11] :) [06:11] wow... konqueror is darn good! === Lectus [n=freddy@20132194120.user.veloxzone.com.br] has left #xubuntu [] [06:11] Is there a specific process to install a font so User Interface Settings will recognize it? [06:13] ack not font, sorry. meant to say theme [06:13] i must be tired >.> [06:14] geck2: unpack it to ~/.themes [06:14] eagle-101, for all the resourses it takes...it should cook breakfast too! [06:15] TheSheep, could you tell me how to get there? [06:15] geck2: open thunar, go to 'view' and enable displaying of hidden files [06:15] I unpacked it into usr/share/themes but it still doesnt recognize it [06:16] geck2: weird, that hsould work too [06:16] geck2: what kind of theme is it? [06:16] xfce [06:16] LiNsta Black from xfce-look.org [06:17] where is the .themes folder so I can try putting it there? [06:17] geck2: xfce themes are available in settings->window manager settings [06:17] geck2: they are for the window decorations [06:18] I don't see it in there either >_< [06:18] vidd_laptop, perhaps, but firefox is also resource intensive these days .... [06:19] (plus it is the only graphical sftp client that I can find....) [06:19] geck2: there should be a 'themerc' file somewhere [06:19] geck2: in that theme [06:19] geck2: what is currently the path to it? [06:20] yes I see it [06:20] /usr/share/themes/LinstaBlack/xfwm4/themerc [06:21] eagle-101, fillzilla dont do it for you?
