| thefiestysoldier | any1 at all? | 01:51 |
| Arsdoff | I screwed up the screen and need to set it to default settings. Can this be done on a scrambled screen? | 01:52 |
| Arsdoff | I have control of terminal, and only terminal. I need to reset the screen settings to default. How can I do this? | 01:58 |
| Arsdoff | Please? | 02:05 |
| sinbox | Arsdoff, I think you need to edit >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf you wanna be very careful though | 02:16 |
| Arsdoff | I typed in "edit>> /etc/X11/xorg.conf", and nothing discernible happered.. is that a good thing? no error message? | 02:22 |
| Arsdoff | Am I supposed to type more commands? | 02:22 |
| Arsdoff | Or just reset? | 02:22 |
| sinbox | sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf << this is the command to dit the file you wanna be very careful though | 02:23 |
| Arsdoff | I am very new to linux, btw | 02:24 |
| sinbox | erm | 02:24 |
| sinbox | this is a dangerous job Arsdoff | 02:24 |
| Arsdoff | cannot open display | 02:25 |
| sinbox | D'oh I forgot | 02:26 |
| sinbox | are you familiar at all with vi or emacs? | 02:26 |
| Arsdoff | Not at all. | 02:26 |
| Arsdoff | I'm in a good spot right now, am I not? (sarcasm fades) | 02:27 |
| sinbox | right, you probably want to wait for someone which is more experienced than me then, i don't want to tell you something stupid and mess it up even worse | 02:27 |
| Arsdoff | I don't care about any of the data on my pc. | 02:27 |
| Arsdoff | If I could somehow load up a fresh copy of Xubuntu or Ubuntu Eee, I would be just as happy | 02:28 |
| __BSD__ | is there a remote desktop server on xubuntu like the one on Ubuntu? if so where? im not finding it, also if NO, what is a good vncserver to use? (i need one that i can configure the ports for it) | 02:28 |
| sinbox | I'm asking about a command I found before I give it to you | 02:30 |
| Arsdoff | Should I explain how I got into this predicament? | 02:33 |
| Arsdoff | I think so | 02:33 |
| sinbox | hehe I get into predicaments all the time and hardly ever know why but do go on | 02:34 |
| sinbox | which ubuntu version are you using by the way Arsdoff ? | 02:35 |
| Arsdoff | I played with the display settings- trying to get the external monitor to work, and I believe I changed the settings on the laptops monitor, so when I log in now, I get a slurred unreadable interface that fills the top half of the screen while leaving the bottom black. I cannot navigate the menus, so I cannot undo this. | 02:35 |
| Arsdoff | Xubuntu | 02:35 |
| Arsdoff | No idea which version | 02:35 |
| sinbox | OK, how did you mess it up then? | 02:36 |
| Arsdoff | I believe the change I made was in Display Settings / similar option menu, where I changed it to the wrong monitor type / version/ size, so when the computer was reset, the display was unreadable/ unnavigable. | 02:37 |
| Arsdoff | slashes change the slant of the text... | 02:38 |
| sinbox | ok just looking up some info for you brb | 02:40 |
| taiyed | hello | 02:40 |
| sinbox | ok Arsdoff try this in terminal: cat /etc/issue | 02:41 |
| sinbox | should tell you which version you are running | 02:41 |
| taiyed | I've got an audio issure | 02:41 |
| taiyed | issue* | 02:41 |
| Arsdoff | I would really like to install another OS, if it were possible and/or easyier. I have a damn Eee Pc with no disc drive, and none of my memory sticks seem to be bootable. I am frustrated. it says Ubuntu 7.10 \n \l | 02:41 |
| Arsdoff | sorry | 02:41 |
| Arsdoff | those got stuck together | 02:41 |
| sinbox | do you know what the settings were before you changed them Arsdoff ? | 02:42 |
| Arsdoff | No, and I did try to reset them before I left the menu, but I failed, I guess. | 02:43 |
| sinbox | I'm not too good with sound issues taiyed mine was all messed up with xubuntu | 02:43 |
| sinbox | OK I'll see if I can find out what you'll need Arsdoff | 02:43 |
| taiyed | heh, it alright | 02:44 |
| taiyed | im not sure if its an xfce thing, or a kernal thing | 02:44 |
| sinbox | not sure, the exact same setup running in gnome was fine, only messed up the sound when on xfce | 02:49 |
| taiyed | I'm running ubuntu server, and installed xubuntu-desktop | 02:51 |
| sinbox | could be that I think server uses a different kernel to the generic one | 02:52 |
| taiyed | I'm thinking it might be an xfce thing, because my sound card (onboard) is reconized and everything seems like it working, just no audio output | 02:52 |
| sinbox | Arsdoff, I think I found what you need | 02:53 |
| Arsdoff | yay! | 02:53 |
| taiyed | i was thinking that the server kernals might not have what i need. | 02:53 |
| sinbox | Arsdoff, you will need to run this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 02:53 |
| sinbox | it should ask you some info about your screen and you need to give it the correct info | 02:54 |
| Arsdoff | does it need to be sudo if I am already logged in as root? | 02:54 |
| sinbox | you can try without sudo | 02:54 |
| sinbox | not sure you ever are root in ubuntu | 02:54 |
| sinbox | so are you talking to us via your eee pc right now or are you on another machine Arsdoff ? | 02:55 |
| Arsdoff | Yes | 02:55 |
| dejabox | hello everyone | 02:55 |
| taiyed | heh | 02:55 |
| taiyed | hi | 02:55 |
| sinbox | hello dejabox | 02:56 |
| dejabox | greetings cool ppl | 02:56 |
| Arsdoff | Attempt to autodetect video hardware? y'n | 02:56 |
| sinbox | y :) | 02:56 |
| dejabox | I hope I amnot interrupting any important conv. | 02:56 |
| dejabox | I have a question for everyone | 02:57 |
| taiyed | oka | 02:57 |
| taiyed | shoot | 02:57 |
| Arsdoff | X server Driver: | 02:57 |
| Arsdoff | there is a list, I believe intel is highlited | 02:57 |
| Arsdoff | Worst comes to worst I come back and try again right? | 02:58 |
| dejabox | I recently downloaded some new mouse pointers for xubuntu but everytime i try to edit them with gimp the file does not open...I changed the extension to png and all the others, ...Does anyone know how to edit pointers for xubuntu? | 02:58 |
| sinbox | yes Arsdoff i think it should be an intel on the eee pc, otherwise if you have a spare terminal you can run this: lspci | grep -i vga | 02:59 |
| sinbox | which should give you the model | 02:59 |
| sinbox | sorry no idea about that dejabox, what are the pointers file extension normally? | 03:00 |
| Arsdoff | It's asking me for the video cards bus identifier. I kind of understand the question, but I ahve no clue what the answer is, except that it starts with PCI:0:2:0 | 03:00 |
| dejabox | normally an image file but these ones are...."x11 cursor" | 03:01 |
| === karlmalon is now known as Lexiphan | ||
| sinbox | Arsdoff, just press enter if you odn't know the identifier | 03:03 |
| taiyed | dejabox have you looked at gursormaker | 03:04 |
| dejabox | yes i already downloaded it but does not seem to work ....perhaps it is me the one that has not found the way around ...maybe if i could edit the x11 files as noraml image files...after all all cursors are raster files | 03:07 |
| sinbox | Arsdoff, gettiung anywhere? | 03:10 |
| Arsdoff | It just keeps giving me more choices, I am mostly sticking to defaults | 03:10 |
| sinbox | wise move | 03:10 |
| Arsdoff | Crap | 03:11 |
| Arsdoff | It's asking me for a mouse port | 03:11 |
| Arsdoff | And I have a touchpad, where I do not know the port associated with it | 03:12 |
| dejabox | well thanks everyone anyways | 03:12 |
| Arsdoff | Options are: | 03:12 |
| Arsdoff | 1. /dev/input/mice | 03:12 |
| Arsdoff | 2. /dev/psaux | 03:13 |
| Arsdoff | 3. /dev/ttySo | 03:13 |
| Arsdoff | 4. /dev/gpmdata | 03:13 |

| mezquitale | which chat client do you recommend for xubuntu? | 03:21 |
| Arsdoff | Finished, I think | 03:22 |
| Arsdoff | reboot? | 03:22 |
| sinbox | are you in tty at the moment? | 03:22 |
| Arsdoff | tty=? | 03:23 |
| Arsdoff | I'm back in the terminal, I believe | 03:23 |
| Arsdoff | DoS style | 03:23 |
| sinbox | you should be able to get back to login screen with alt+F7 | 03:23 |
| sinbox | if not reboot | 03:23 |
| Arsdoff | this does not look good | 03:24 |
| Arsdoff | I'll reboot | 03:24 |
| sinbox | mezquitale, I just use xchat | 03:25 |
| mezquitale | sinbox, ok im going to install it on my xubuntu box right now, brb in a few, thanks! | 03:25 |
| Arsdoff | SUCCESS!!! | 03:26 |
| Arsdoff | thank you so much | 03:26 |
| sinbox | phew | 03:26 |
| sinbox | you're welcome | 03:26 |
| Arsdoff | Reboot was needed for effects to take place | 03:26 |
| sinbox | well, if you want to play with your display again just make sure you make a backup of this file first: /etc/X11/xorg.conf then if it goes all wrong you can just replace the working one | 03:29 |
| chriswaterguy | I'm just trying out the LiveCD. I like the idea of fast and light, but I was reading that xubuntu is "definitely limited compare to gnome or kde". In what ways? | 03:53 |
| chriswaterguy | (I used 7.04 then Ubuntu 7.10 and had lots of software and hardware headaches with both - so I'm looking more closely this time.) | 03:54 |
| dejabox | it is not really limited | 03:58 |
| dejabox | rathr it is stre | 03:59 |
| dejabox | rather it is streamlined for speed and without frills | 03:59 |
| dejabox | for example, the normal ubuntu does play any mp3 files upon mouseover, yet xubuntu does not | 04:00 |
| dejabox | you can add the frills later on | 04:01 |
| dejabox | it is up to you | 04:01 |
| chriswaterguy | that sounds good to me. | 04:02 |
| jmichaelx | xubuntu is not limited, but neither is it all that light | 04:24 |
| jmichaelx | i'm sure it's somewhat lighter than ubuntu, but not dramatically | 04:25 |
| jmichaelx | normal ubuntu plays mp3 files upon mouseover?? since when does it do that? | 04:26 |
| chriswaterguy | I've heard about that. | 04:26 |
| chriswaterguy | Can setup make a difference? I read "you could also do a minimal install of ubuntu and add xfce4. it requires alot of work to get it set up, but it will be lightning fast." | 04:26 |
| jmichaelx | chriswaterguy: you could definitely do that | 04:27 |
| jmichaelx | chriswaterguy: and i don't think it would be all that difficult | 04:27 |
| jmichaelx | it would require a bit more work, but it would not be that awful | 04:28 |
| chriswaterguy | k. and then it would be set up more to my liking, I guess, and maybe faster? | 04:28 |
| jmichaelx | chriswaterguy: if you would stick to lighter software, and read about turning off services you don't use, yes, you could make it lighter and faster | 04:29 |
| jmichaelx | chriswaterguy: if you google something like 'minimal ubuntu with xfce', you would be amazed how much you would find | 04:32 |
| chriswaterguy | k. I'm wary of following advice I find in blogs and forums, tho. Some of it is bad, or just wastes time. (Need a good wiki!) | 04:33 |
| jmichaelx | you could also consider using an even lighter working environment ... a window manager like fluxbox or openbox | 04:33 |
| jmichaelx | there is a very light window manager called fvwm-crystal, which is very light and very sharp looking | 04:34 |
| chriswaterguy | k. These are less well supported than Xfce tho, I assume? | 04:34 |
| chriswaterguy | the minimal ubuntu with xfce approach would be faster, or just less disk space? | 04:35 |
| jmichaelx | i guess it all depends on what you call well supported | 04:35 |
| jmichaelx | chriswaterguy: it should be both, but you really should read about how other people have done it.. whether you follow every step they took or not | 04:36 |
| chriswaterguy | that's looking like a tempting option. | 04:43 |
| chriswaterguy | Thank you very much for your help! Must go work now. | 05:13 |
| dvdm | where does the tifm_sd module create the device that I can use to mount | 08:30 |
| dvdm | ? | 08:31 |
| ooglebutte | in /dev more than likely | 08:31 |
| generalsnus | so.. where can i set a skeleton/profile template for new users? i want to remove stuff on the panel/set wallpaper etc... so they can change it again | 08:39 |
| generalsnus | cant* | 08:39 |
| generalsnus | hm.. what config files and such.. holds the panel and wallpaper config for xubuntu? | 08:49 |
| ooglebutte | they are in .config in the /home/user folder iirc | 08:51 |
| dvdm | ooglebutte: yes- which device? I do not see new devices being created... | 08:51 |
| ooglebutte | dvdm: I don't know what h/ware that module is for - a bit more info might help :) | 08:53 |
| ooglebutte | devices are in /dev | 08:54 |
| generalsnus | so if i do chmod 755 /home/username/.config the user can read the settings.. but not change them? | 08:54 |
| ooglebutte | I prefer chmod -w but those numbers seem right | 08:55 |
| generalsnus | so there shouldnt be any problems for the user to run apps and such? | 08:56 |
| ooglebutte | I've never done that but you aren't changing execute with -w so it should be fine | 08:56 |
| dvdm | ooglebutte: running 8.10. that modeule is used for SD card slots | 08:57 |
| dvdm | it detects it, but I can not see which device to mount | 08:57 |
| jho1 | bnb | 08:57 |
| ooglebutte | dvdm: does it show in sudo fdisk -l ? - that normally gives a clue | 08:57 |
| generalsnus | hm .. -w changes it to write for all? | 08:58 |
| generalsnus | or am i mistaken? | 08:58 |
| dvdm | and no new devices apear in /dev/... | 08:59 |
| ooglebutte | +w to write -w to not write | 08:59 |
| generalsnus | wouldnt that include root aswell? | 08:59 |
| ooglebutte | not with the user as you were doing - chmod -w /home/username/.config | 09:00 |
| generalsnus | or sudo | 09:01 |
| generalsnus | just afaid sudo would lose access to it... but it seems i need to use sudo to set permissions | 09:01 |
| ooglebutte | if you want to change permissions for another user you need sudo | 09:02 |
| ooglebutte | again - -w will only change the write permissions so it should be fine | 09:03 |
| jho1 | hi, I'm trying to install scribus but I get this msg: dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH. | 09:03 |
| jho1 | dpkg: 1 expected program(s) not found on PATH. | 09:03 |
| jho1 | NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin. | 09:03 |
| jho1 | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) | 09:03 |
| ooglebutte | jho1: how did you try to install it? | 09:05 |
| jho1 | I've used sudo apt-get | 09:07 |
| ooglebutte | jholkeep it in the channel please | 09:07 |
| ooglebutte | !info scribus | 09:07 |
| jho1 | ok, sorry | 09:07 |
| ubottu | scribus (source: scribus): Open Source Desktop Page Layout. In component main, is optional. Version 1.3.3.12.dfsg-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 9249 kB, installed size 26632 kB | 09:07 |
| jho1 | ok, tnx | 09:08 |
| generalsnus | well i changed the permission on /home/username/.config so that owner could only read from it.... now the user cant login | 09:08 |
| ooglebutte | jho1: you did sudo apt-get install scribus? | 09:09 |
| dvdm | ooglebutte: tried that, and it only shows the SATA disk | 09:09 |
| ooglebutte | dvdm: sorry - never played with sd cards | 09:10 |
| jho1 | ooglebutte:yes but this always seem to appear | 09:10 |
| ooglebutte | jho1: in terminal what does the command $PATH return? | 09:10 |
| ooglebutte | generalsnus: you may need to limit the -w to the panel and what not that are in config - I would do one at a time | 09:12 |
| jho1 | ooglebutte: it says bash: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games: No such file or directory | 09:12 |
| ooglebutte | so chmod +w .config and redo one at a time | 09:12 |
| ooglebutte | jho1: and what does sudo $PATH return ? any diff? | 09:13 |
| jho1 | ooglebutte:it returns the same msg, no diff | 09:14 |
| ooglebutte | jho1: does locate update-rc.d return anything? | 09:15 |
| jho1 | ooglebutte: yes, it says /usr/share/man/man8/update-rc.d.8.gz | 09:17 |
| jho1 | /usr/share/man/fr/man8/update-rc.d.8.gz | 09:17 |
| jho1 | /usr/share/man/ja/man8/update-rc.d.8.gz | 09:17 |
| jho1 | /usr/share/man/es/man8/update-rc.d.8.gz | 09:17 |
| ooglebutte | jho1: so the executable isn't in /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin - I would try sudo apt-get install update-rc.d | 09:19 |
| ooglebutte | there is only the man pages for some reason | 09:20 |
| jho1 | ooglebutte: it says can't find package | 09:21 |
| dvdm | ooglebutte: no problem. thanks anyway... will keep looking around | 09:23 |
| ooglebutte | jho1: I can't find it either - one min | 09:24 |
| jho1 | ok, tnx for this man... | 09:25 |
| ooglebutte | jho1: does update-rc.d return anything? - I get usage info here | 09:27 |
| ooglebutte | jho1: another point that might count - which xubuntu version you using? | 09:29 |
| jho1 | ooglebutte:ok, now I get it, my version is 7.10 | 09:30 |
| jho1 | ooglebutte:that means I really have to upgrade? | 09:31 |
| jho1 | tnx man... | 09:31 |
| ooglebutte | jho1: that is still supported - try sudo apt-get update | 09:31 |
| jho1 | ooglebutte:I've finished the upgrade but still no effect... | 09:34 |
| ooglebutte | try to install scribus now | 09:34 |
| jho1 | ooglebutte:still the same | 09:34 |
| jho1 | ooglebutte:the update-rc.d too | 09:34 |
| ooglebutte | jho1: sorry then - I can't find the package that has update-rc.d in it - I'm still googling tho | 09:35 |
| jho1 | ok, tnx... | 09:36 |
| ooglebutte | jho1: here's mine - you can copy it to /usr/sbin if you want | 09:38 |
| ooglebutte | http://paste.ubuntu.com/79223/ | 09:38 |
| ooglebutte | I would gksu mousepad in terminal then save to /usr/sbin | 09:40 |
| jho1 | ooglebutte:tnx, I'll try this one... | 09:40 |
| ooglebutte | k | 09:40 |
| jho1 | ooglebutte:still can't install | 09:50 |
| jho1 | ooglebutte:maybe I should upgrade the system... | 09:50 |
| ooglebutte | jho1: 7.10 is good 'till april next year - you can upgrade to hardy if you want - and I'm out of ideas - others will wake in a bit, try asking in a while | 09:52 |
| jho1 | ooglebutte:ok, tnx again... | 09:55 |

| Myrtti | it is... | 16:25 |
| Myrtti | I've always loved the workspaces and that bugger is nasy | 16:25 |
| Myrtti | nasty | 16:25 |
| atari | is it really a bug or a feature? | 16:26 |
| jarnos | Is there a way to stop all scripts in pages that are not focused in Firefox? | 16:26 |
| atari | i cant understand why they dont change it... | 16:26 |
| jarnos | ..possibly including plugins. | 16:26 |
| Myrtti | atari: well, it's a feature for some | 16:26 |
| Myrtti | I'm sure | 16:26 |
| Myrtti | for me it's a bug | 16:27 |
| jarnos | Myrtti: I think the configuration has no effect, if you open in a new window instead of a tab. | 16:37 |
| atari | Myrtti: i'd say a bug, too | 16:38 |
| jarnos | The tab is easier to find, if it gets focused and raised. | 16:40 |
| jarnos | Can you open a whole Firefox session in background so that it does not steal focus? | 16:43 |
| atari | is there a way to enable the link loading when inserting a link with the middle mouse key as there were in firefox 2? | 16:43 |
| Myrtti | mh | 17:27 |
| Myrtti | was there any app yet for editing the gtk colours? | 17:27 |
| atari | gtk colors? | 17:27 |
| atari | the theme? | 17:27 |
| Myrtti | yeah. | 17:28 |
| Myrtti | well what I mean is | 17:28 |
| Myrtti | Ubuntu and Gnome's theme manager allows you to change some parts of the colour scheme | 17:28 |
| Myrtti | I love to have a dark coloured theme, but I'd also love a white default background :-< | 17:29 |
| atari | just edit the theme? | 17:30 |
| Myrtti | meh. | 17:30 |
| Myrtti | that would actually require active *thinking* | 17:31 |
| Myrtti | :-P | 17:31 |
| atari | ah yeah... right... i see the problem... :P | 17:31 |
| atari | have you ever thought about taking a knife and get ridd of the problem? *run* | 17:32 |
| sinbox | is 8,04 using the rt kernel or not? | 17:40 |
| Myrtti | sinbox: AFAIK it depends if you've installed and configured it to be used or not | 17:45 |
| sinbox | as I haven't I guess that's a no then, thanks Myrtti bonus question: if i install and configure it can I then go back to the generic kernel easily? | 17:46 |
| neozen | sinbox: I would assume so.... just remove the package which installed it | 17:49 |
| neozen | linux-image-rt or something similar | 17:49 |
| Myrtti | yup | 17:49 |
| sinbox | ok thanks neozen and Myrtti will try that in a while | 17:50 |

| R1cochet | hi | 22:09 |
| knome | hello Aquina & R1cochet | 22:09 |
| R1cochet | hey knome | 22:20 |
| jmichaelx | i have a them for xfce on my laptop called 'black garden'. i don't remember where i got this, or whether this might be something that came with xubuntu. do any of you know, by chance? | 22:30 |
| knome | jmichaelx, "them" ? | 22:30 |
| jmichaelx | them is a common abbreviation for 'theme'! duh!! | 22:31 |
| jmichaelx | just kidding | 22:31 |
| jmichaelx | theme* | 22:31 |
| knome | haha. ok | 22:32 |
| jmichaelx | i don't know if i grabbed this theme from somewhere, or if maybe it is a gtk theme that ubuntu is including | 22:32 |
| knome | http://xfce-look.org/ ? | 22:32 |
| jmichaelx | i looked there, and am not seeing it | 22:32 |
| jmichaelx | i really like it | 22:32 |
| knome | jmichaelx, just a moment. | 22:35 |
| knome | jmichaelx, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/BlackGarden?content=89218 (was on gnome-look.org) | 22:36 |
| jmichaelx | ty, knome, that is probably where i got it. it looks really nice in xfce4 | 22:37 |
| knome | suppose so. personally i don't like dark themes :) | 22:37 |
| R1cochet | so what was the problem with it? | 22:46 |
| R1cochet | the theme | 22:46 |
| knome | R1cochet, he didn't know where to get it :) | 22:47 |
| knome | just googled for it for him... :] | 22:47 |
| Aquina | :-) | 22:48 |
| R1cochet | ahh £ãugh¡ñg Òut £öuÐ | 22:57 |
| R1cochet | i like it | 22:57 |
| R1cochet | i like em dark tho :) | 22:57 |
| Aquina | Anyone an idea why in APPLICATIONS -> SYSTEM CONTROL-> USERINTERFACE the theme "Crystal SVG" is shown two times in a row? | 23:20 |
| Aquina | I already stated that question a bit more detailled on launchpad but got no usefull response yet. | 23:20 |
| TheSheep | Aquina: maybe you have two themes with that name? | 23:21 |
| Aquina | Please help! ;-) | 23:21 |
| Aquina | no | 23:21 |
| Aquina | I checked the usr/share/fooooo folders with the themes in it and the index.theme files. | 23:21 |
| TheSheep | how about ~/.themes ? | 23:21 |
| Aquina | doesn't exist | 23:22 |
| knome | Aquina, does it really matter you? :) | 23:22 |
| Aquina | yes couse it's a bug that need to be solved. it's item 136a on my list. | 23:22 |
| Aquina | I'm searchin for a solution for two days.... | 23:23 |
| TheSheep | forgive me my curiosity, hwat is the item 136? | 23:23 |
| knome | Aquina, well, kind of yes, but xfce 4.6 is most probably going to be at jaunty anyway | 23:23 |
| Aquina | my bug/itemlist for our organization. The problem affexts 22 systems with Xubuntu. | 23:23 |
| Aquina | "be at jauntyanyway" What does that mean? | 23:24 |
| TheSheep | !jaunty | 23:24 |
| ubottu | Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - UDS December 8th-12th in Mountain View, CA, USA - Jaunty doesn't even really exist yet, but join #ubuntu+1 for help and discussion. | 23:24 |
| Aquina | Yeah but there's rule.... | 23:24 |
| TheSheep | Aquina: any path after the release is pretty hard to push anyways | 23:25 |
| TheSheep | patch | 23:25 |
| knome | Aquina, the big question is: does it affect performance or the looks? | 23:25 |
| TheSheep | does it threaten the user data? | 23:26 |
| Aquina | ..never use something like apt-get upgrade or yum upgrade AT ALL. Sorry but I cannot dix that with 9.04. I'm not a kiddy experimenting but an admin maintaining a whole network and keeping everything operational. That bug is truely a minor one but I want it to be fixed. ;-) | 23:26 |
| Aquina | Nevertheless I thank all of you. You're so eger to help me! :-) | 23:27 |
| Aquina | I#m gonna mark it as fixed in Citadell | 23:27 |
| Aquina | thx | 23:27 |
| TheSheep | citadell? | 23:28 |
| Aquina | that groupware. We used .project before... | 23:28 |
| TheSheep | mark it as 'wontfix' :) | 23:28 |
| Aquina | :D | 23:28 |
| jmichaelx | is there a way to get thunar to allow a person to move items when dragging and dropping, instead of only copying? | 23:32 |
| forces | saluton | 23:33 |
| TheSheep | jmichaelx: hold down shift | 23:33 |

| Aquina | sure, TheSheep. sry | 23:36 |
| ELHN | Hey | 23:36 |
| ELHN | How would I get "Places" | 23:36 |
| ELHN | to show up in the xfce menu? | 23:37 |
| TheSheep | ELHN: it's a panel plugin -- right click on the panel, select 'add new item', find the places plugin on the list | 23:37 |
| ELHN | and not just in the panel | 23:37 |
| ELHN | like, if I right click | 23:37 |
| TheSheep | ELHN: not possible | 23:37 |
| ELHN | crud | 23:38 |
| ELHN | thanks anyways | 23:38 |
| ELHN | I was thinking it would be like Places/whatever>filesystem/other drives>folders | 23:39 |
| ELHN | Also, anyone here use tint? | 23:39 |
| R1cochet | isnt there something in "window manager" or "window manager tweaks" | 23:41 |
| TheSheep | R1cochet: "something"? | 23:41 |
| R1cochet | for right click | 23:42 |
| TheSheep | for Places? no | 23:42 |
| R1cochet | i dont remember im running compiz and cant look in window manager setting atm | 23:43 |
| TheSheep | it would be in desktop settings, if it existed | 23:44 |
| R1cochet | i saw a tick box somewhere for adding to rt-click list | 23:44 |
| TheSheep | that's for list of windows and the apps menu | 23:44 |
