cody-somervillesuRs, http://conky.sourceforge.net/documentation.html12:36
TheSheepcody-somerville: I still don't understand what am I supposed to do?12:36
cody-somervilleTheSheep, I have uploaded a new version of xubuntu-docs to hardy-proposed12:37
cody-somervilleIt needs to be tested before it can be moved to hardy-updates12:37
cody-somervilleTo test it, you simply need to install the version from hardy-proposed12:37
TheSheepcody-somerville: and then?12:39
suRsi need to get a script?12:39
suRsdo i need to make a map named .conky? in /home/suey?12:39
cody-somervilleTheSheep, If you could check to see if translations are installed correctly, that would be great.12:39
TheSheepcody-somerville: how?12:40
TheSheepthere are only changelog.gz  copyright12:41
Odd-rationalesuRs: yes, you need a config file in ~/.conky12:41
TheSheepin /usr/share/docs/xubuntu-docs12:41
Odd-rationaleanyways, i'm going to see if i can catch a few more moments of sleep...12:42
TheSheepcody-somerville: the files in /usr/share/xubuntu-docs/pl are English12:42
suRsyeah i found it12:43
suRsshall i make a map named .conky?12:43
cody-somervilleTheSheep, thats probably because no one translated it into pl12:43
TheSheeplazy bums :P12:44
suRshow do i create te folder?12:44
suRsi cant just right klick and create one do i have do make by terminal?12:44
TheSheepsuRs: you right-click and select the very first option that says 'Create folder...'12:45
suRsmm i cant..12:45
TheSheepsuRs: what stops you?12:45
suRsnothing its just black i can klick it12:45
TheSheepsuRs: you're not talking about thunar?12:46
suRsim talking about conky12:46
TheSheepmaybe you should use thunar to create folders12:46
suRsin usr/share/doc/xubuntudoc/ <-- i can create a map12:46
suRscant*12:47
suRsit wont let me  create a map or i cant even copy one in there12:47
suRsfolder12:47
TheSheepthat's because you are a normal user and that directory is a system one, you don't have write permissions there12:47
TheSheepsuRs: you can start thunar as root, but careful with that: gksu thunar12:48
Odd-rationalesuRs: what are you trying to do? create a .conky file in your home directory?12:48
suRswell you told me to create a .conky in usr/share/doc/xubuntudoc/  right?12:49
Odd-rationaleno...12:49

cody-somervillesuRs, As the document states: An easy way to force Conky to reload your ~/.conkyrc: "killall -SIGUSR1 conky". Saves you the trouble of having to kill and then restart. You can now also do the same with SIGHUP.14:05

Tipperwhere will the app be located?16:13
TheSheepTipper: it consists of many files located in various directories16:14
Tipperhow do I run it?16:14
TheSheepTipper: you can right click it in synaptic, select properties and see the list of all those files16:14
TheSheepTipper: you start some .exe file16:15
viddTipper, once wine is installed, you just double-click on the .exe and it should launch16:15
TipperIt says it isn't installed uner properties16:16

Tipperhow do I install themes/16:21
loadinghello16:21
viddTipper, i cant help with themes16:21
viddnever use them16:21
TipperTheSheep: can you help?16:21
loadingi'm search a dvd iso of xubuntu16:22
thinkmassiv1my wireless network icon has disappeared and it's not available in "Add Items to the Panel" so I'd like to know if anyone has a suggestion for getting it back16:25
thinkmassiv1I can still configure the connection using iwconfig and dhclient, but it would be nice to have a gui16:26
thinkmassiv1the real mystery is why it disappears in the first place16:26
thinkmassiv1I've tried rebooting and restarting X... sometimes the icon will appear and then, as soon as I select an access point, the icon "locks up" and disappears a few seconds later16:28
TipperWireless isn't in add items to panel16:28
Tippergo to settings manager16:28
Tipperthen go to autostart applications16:29
Tipperthen make sure network manager is checked16:29
Tipperand if the option isn't there click add16:31
Tipperthen add network manager16:32
thinkmassiv1it is there and checked16:32
Tipperthinkmassiv1^^16:32
thinkmassiv1thanks Tipper16:32
Tipperyour welcome :D16:32
thinkmassiv1that doesn't fix it though16:32
Tipperoh :P16:33
TipperI tried16:33
thinkmassiv1so I guess the network manager app is dying16:33
TipperI installed xubuntu yesterday so I can't be much of a help.16:33
thinkmassiv1your info helps--I didn't know where to find the app16:33
Tipperthinkmassiv1: was it unchecked?16:33
=== vidd is now known as vidd_laptop
thinkmassiv1nope, the weird thing is that it starts with X but then it dies when I try to connect to a wireless network16:34
thinkmassiv1hmm even when I start network-manager the icon doesn't re-appear16:35
=== vidd_laptop is now known as vidd
Tipperthinkmassiv1: if it was then restart and it should be there.16:36
thinkmassiv1I suppose I can try that again but it didn't work the last few times16:37
loadinghello i'm search a dvd iso of xubuntu16:37
thinkmassiv1another peculiarity is that firefox is in offline mode until I deselect that option, which it usually does automatically when I connect to a network16:38
Myrttihopping in in the middle of the convo16:40
thinkmassiv1oh nm-applet makes it appear16:40
thinkmassiv1hi Myrtti16:40
Myrttithinkmassiv1: if you'd try more applications, they'd make the same, since they detect the online/offline from dbus or hal or what not16:40
MyrttiI've noticed the same when using gprs connection (basically dialup) since that doesn't show up in avahi16:41
Myrttioh, yeah, and it's avahi that doesn't detect gprs16:41
Myrttinot dbus, hal16:41
thinkmassiv1ok, well that explains that issue16:42
Myrttithe same happens with pidgin, claws-mail, epiphany...16:42
thinkmassiv1now the applet is showing the "waiting for network key" icon16:42
thinkmassiv1but obviously I'm still connected16:42
thinkmassiv1...unless you're all a figment of my computer's elaborate imagination16:42
Myrttiwhen I login, I have to tick the networking off for a while, and put it back on16:43
thinkmassiv1why is that?16:43
peterajameshlooking for help mounting a slave drive in xunbuntu, any one can help me with this16:43
Myrttiotherwise I'm doomed to go in (or actually, nm-applet) circles in waiting for a network key16:43
