KittyKattQuestion.01:44
KittyKattI used a long bash command in my "startup and session" and I don't remember the entire thing.01:45
KittyKattWell, now I've switched to openbox, and kill xfdesktop and such.01:45
KittyKattIs there a file that "Sessions and Startup" in XFCE stores the actual commands that are executed?01:45
KittyKattBecause I can't edit the commands from the "Sessions and Startup" menu.01:46
KittyKattI can only add or delete them.01:46
KittyKattNevermind.01:55

GenKretonhey guys, what's the best way to get dual monitors to extend instead of mirror in xubuntu?15:51
GenKretona lot of googling keeps saying xorg.conf but we aren't supposed to need one anymore15:51
Sysiyou can try with xrandr15:52
GenKretonk, display settings in xfce's settings manager only shows one15:52
GenKretonxrandr sees two15:52
_Pete_if you have nvidia-gpu it can easily be done with nvidia-settings15:53
GenKretonno, ati :\15:53

tdn_How do I change language from English to Danish? System wide for all users. (and preferably for all possible applications)20:07
TheSheeptdn_: system->language support20:09
tdn_TheSheep, will it then change in OpenOffice as well and in simple games like Solitaire?20:11
=== tdn_ is now known as tdn
tdnTheSheep, can it be done via console?20:12
tdnRight now I only have ssh access20:12
TheSheeptdn: edit /etc/default/locale20:14
TheSheepsee locale -a command for a list of possible values20:14
tdnHow do I focus the menu without a mouse?20:15
tdnTheSheep, I have just logged in via X. There is no System menu.20:15
tdnOnly Applications and PLaces.20:15
knometdn, applications -> system -> ..20:16
tdnOk.20:17
tdnAppearently, I can only select different kinds of English.20:21
tdnHow do I get Danish available?20:21
tdnOh.20:25
tdnIt needs to be added first.20:25
tdnI have done that and selected Danish. However, the menus at the top are still called Applications and Places and not Programmer and Steder, as they would in Danish.20:26
knomeall the names might not change for existing users20:27
TheSheeptdn: either restart the panel or log out and log back in, preferably selecting the language when you log in20:27
tdnTheSheep, I have just logged out and in.20:27
TheSheeptdn: you had English selected on the login screen?20:28
tdnThe login screen IS in english.20:28
tdnI just restarted gdm.20:28
TheSheeptdn: oh, and if some program is not yet translated, it will appear in English20:28
tdnThat made login screen english.20:29
tdnBut it IS translated in Ubuntu.20:29
TheSheeptdn: there is a language selection box at login screen20:29
TheSheeptdn: same as in Ubuntu20:29
tdnYes. I selected Danish.20:29
tdnStill English in the top menu.20:29
TheSheepok, then apparently xfce panel doesn't have a Danish translation20:30
tdnTheSheep, the submenus ARE translated however.20:30
tdnHow can I contribute a Danish translation for xfce panel? This is really important.20:30
TheSheephmm.. try right-clicking on the applications button and selecting 'preferences'20:30
TheSheep!translation20:30
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about translation20:30
TheSheep!rosetta20:31
ubotturosetta is a Web-based system for translating open source software into any language. See https://launchpad.net/rosetta20:31
tdnOk.20:33
tdnTheSheep, there is nowhere on that URL where I can contribute translations.20:48
tdnTheSheep, even worse: https://translations.launchpad.net/xfce4-panel <- It looks like it is not even possible to have translations?!20:50
siditranslators for the XFCE project work on xfce.org directly20:52
siditdn: hello20:52
tdnsidi, ok.20:52
TheSheeptdn: http://wiki.xfce.org/translations20:52
* tdn thinks it is WAY to difficult to contribute translations.20:53
tdnThis is a shame.20:53
sidihttps://translations.xfce.org/projects/xfce4-panel/20:53
siditdn: XFCE is a big thing, they use their own workflow, and Xubuntu is only a little part of the XFCE users20:53
sidiContributing is all about finding the place where to contribute and getting started :) Not everyone uses launchpad20:54
tdnStill, it should be easier.20:56
sidihow should it be easier ?20:56
tdnIt is really a shame that it is so hard to contribute something as translations. Translations is something almost everyone could help with. But average Joe is not going to jump through all these hoops.20:57
sidiDo you expect Xubuntu to duplicate every line of code and .po file from upstream and to manually report back any change made on our side ?20:57
tdnsidi, I am on the URL you posted, and I still have no idea how to contribute with translations for xfce4-panel.20:57
tdnsidi, of course not.20:57
sidiClick on 'master'20:58
sidithere are 3 branches : 4.4 / 4.6 (the current one) and master, the development branch20:58
sidisomeone came before you20:58
sidiBut the danish translations seem to be complete everywhere in XFCE master, actually20:58
tdnOk. I see that there is already a Danish with 100%.20:58
tdnBut on my fresh install of Xubuntu with Danish language enabled, I still have Enlish names in top menu. What gives?20:59
tdnHow do I have a user automatically login on start up?21:07
tdnHow do I have a user automatically login on start up?21:38
jiohdianyway to change the menus-- add and remove?22:16
