[04:08] <spasticteapot> Does anyone here know what to do with a " .run" file?
[04:09] <crimsun> it's probably a shell script
[04:09] <crimsun> pass it to `file'
[04:13] <spasticteapot> Yep.
[04:13] <spasticteapot> How do I run these?
[04:15] <spasticteapot> "bash" seems to works.

[11:52] <R1cochet> likewise
[12:33] <Luke_> hello all!
[12:34] <Luke_> anyone awake?
[12:35] <ablomen> !ask
[12:36] <ablomen> people are awake, but mostly like to answer questions when they know what the question is :)
[12:36] <Luke_> k
[12:38] <Luke_> is there anyway i can change my hostmask on konversation?
[14:30] <alienkid> hello
[15:42] <jarnos> Is there a keybinding to switch quickly window of an application? Like Alt-Tab, but for windows of current application.
[16:09] <bad-wire> jarnos, ctrl+tab?
[16:10] <jarnos> bad-wire: doesn't work here.
[16:11] <sinbox> ah well sorry, no idea then, maybe someone who knows will come
[16:37] <yotux> is open office a heavy program
[16:37] <yotux> I noticed that it is not installed in xubuntu
[16:37] <sinbox> fairly so
[16:38] <yotux> Is that why it was not installed or used by default for xubuntu
[16:38] <charlie-tca> yotux: It takes a lot of memory to run smoothly
[16:38] <yotux> ok
[16:38] <yotux> I like xubuntu the most seems that fastest to me
[16:39] <charlie-tca> We use AbiWord and Gnumeric because they are lightweight compared to OpenOffice.org
[16:42] <yotux> they do the same for the most part
[16:43] <charlie-tca> yes, but memory and cpu can be smaller
[16:44] <yotux> the only thing that I have problems with is crossover office
[16:44] <yotux> and they do not support XFCE with an automatic menu
[16:45] <charlie-tca> I see. Menu issues are being worked on by Xfce.
[17:38] <jxander> when i right-click on the menu button from the panel and click on edit menu, i don't get all the menu items, how could i edit the whole menu? where is the menu file located?
[17:40] <rhavenn> jxander: they're pulled in by the "systems" menu item
[17:43] <jxander> rhavenn: maybe i'm too tired, but i did't understand what you said... where is the systems menu item? i still don't know how to edit the entire menu :(
[17:46] <jarnos> jxander: You can add to System menu by adding a submenu named System and then adding an item there.
[17:47] <jarnos> jxander: Not very elegant, though.
[17:48] <jxander> but how do i add an item to multimedia?
[17:50] <Odd-rationale> jxander: http://wiki.xfce.org/tips#how_to_add_or_remove_applications_in_the_system_menu
[17:51] <Odd-rationale> i think they are working on a better menu editor for xfce 4.6 ...
[18:02] <jarnos> jxander: Make submenu called Multimedia and add an item to it.
[18:02] <jxander> jarnos: will it appear in Multimedia with the rest of the items?
[18:03] <jarnos> jxander: yes.
[18:03] <jxander> jarnos: thanks a lot, trying right now :D
[18:11] <jxander> jarnos: it did the trick, a bit uglier than gnome, but works... thanks!
[18:15] <jarnos> jxander: good :) I have not tried the gnome way. I hope Xfce people get a better way to edit menu.
[18:16] <jxander> are you using gnome?
[18:21] <fbc> How do you lock the screen in xubuntu?
[18:23] <zoredache_> you can add a item to bar to lock the screen
[18:24] <zoredache_> do an 'add new item' > 'action item' choose 'lock screen' from the drop down
[18:24] <guyiom> hi all
[18:27] <jarnos> fbc: ctrl-alt-del
[18:27] <jarnos> fbc: or run command xflock4
[18:29] <fbc> awesome
[18:29] <fbc> jarnos, thanks
[18:33] <nclife> hi. My desktop dissapeared. At least my wallpaper and my docs are gone, just a light blue background is to see. How can I fix this?
[18:33] <zoredache> nclife: try pressing alt-f2 and run 'xfwm4'
[18:34] <zoredache> actually, you may need to run xfdesktop
[18:35] <nclife> zoredache, I type xfwm4 or xfdesktop inside a terminal?
[18:35] <nclife> ah, oh
[18:35] <nclife> gotcha
[18:35] <zoredache> yes, you can run those in a terminal
[18:35] <nclife> okie, gonna try that
[18:35] <nclife> do I have to close everything before to do that?
[18:37] <nclife> nice, thank you :)
[18:40] <nclife> another quick question, I've noted my computer slowing down for the past few days. Is there some way to repair probable broken packages or anything that could ease the processing?

[21:20] <batcoder-7> whats the eaisest way to change gtk themes ?
[21:25] <zoredache> csc_: I have installed to a usb...  haven't done a livecd withpersistence though.
[21:29] <TheSheep> batcoder-7: settings->setting manager->user interface
[21:35] <csc_> the persistence with usb creator does not work
[21:35] <csc_> it's buggy
[21:35] <csc_> damn it
[22:00] <nastyve> hello
[22:00] <nastyve> i have a question
[22:00] <nastyve> im running ubuntu 8.10 i386 on a desktop and xubuntu 8.10 on a laptop
[22:01] <nastyve> there is a printer attached to the desktop and i'd like my laptop to be able to print from it
[22:01] <nastyve> so, if the desktop attached printer has "shared" checked on it, why can't my xubuntu laptop see it?
[22:03] <mib_adzv15y4> please help me with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1033616
[22:09] <mib_adzv15y4> I tried uninstalling apparmor profiles or put in complaint mode, did not help
[22:46] <mib_adzv15y4> can I uninstall this kernel hook with rmmod?
[23:23] <retour> why in my /media I have mounting points with ~? I.e. /cdrom0 AND ~cdrom. Can I delete it?
[23:27] <jarnos> retour: With ~?
[23:28] <jarnos> retour: no need to delete cdrom items.
[23:28] <retour> jarnos: ~cdrom and again /cdrom0. Why? can I delete both and make my own mount point /DVD-ROM
[23:29] <jarnos> retour: cdrom is symlink to the other
[23:30] <jarnos> retour: and /cdrom is symlink to /media/cdrom
[23:30] <retour> jarnos: OK do I need it? Is it generate automatically? Can I create own mount point and delete default ones?
[23:31] <jarnos> retour: I don't know. Maybe the default ones are used by some applications.
[23:33] <jarnos> retour: Why don't you create another symlink named DVD-ROM (if you really need that)?
[23:43] <retour> jarnos: I like my drive to show its type when mounted on the desktop DVD-RW and second one DVD-RAM - type of drive not media in it. BTW how to create symlink? I tried to see its contents but its empty
[23:53] <jarnos> retour: Open terminal, "cd /media", "sudo ln -s cdrom0 DVD-RW "
[23:55] <jarnos> retour: in case you want to create link DVD-RW for cdrom0
[23:56] <retour> thank you!
[23:56] <jarnos> retour: but it doesn't change the way the drive shows up in Thunar.
[23:56] <retour> hmmm
[23:58] <retour> I deleted defaults and made my own mounting points. Everything works BUT after inserting media I get " mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[23:58] <retour> mount: /dev/scd0 already mounted or /media/DVD-ROM busy
[23:58] <retour> mount: according to mtab, /dev/scd0 is already mounted on /media/DVD-ROM.
[23:59] <retour> It tries to automount it twice??
