ubottubenchick: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait.13:09
benchicki just thought my question wasn't pasted cause i didn't identify myself to nickserv. sorry13:09
TheSheepocs_: well, I don't know any13:09
TheSheepno problem :)13:09
TheSheepyou may also try looking at the bug report about that issue13:10

benchickTheSheep: i did try, but couldn't find anything conclusive. when i finally saw "bug fixed" someone wrote it wasn't fixed, and later at the post the status changed again to "not fixed"13:12
benchicki thought someone here might have more info about this issue13:13
TheSheepI guess the bugtracker is the best source13:15

knomejar, x ssh tunneling maybe?22:32
knomejar, or freenx or vnc22:32
jarknome, It's not that alternatives can't be used.22:33
jarIt's that it sucks that it doesn't work.22:33
knome:)22:33
jarknome, Oh wow I just realized what you replied to.23:03

italomaia_hello! How could i edit xubuntu user menu in text mode?23:11
jaritalomaia_, What specifically do you need to do?23:12
italomaia_i need to add an item to the "games" section23:12
italomaia_in the menu23:12
jaritalomaia_, You'll need to make a .desktop file for it since the distributor did not.23:13
italomaia_where should i place it?23:13
jardo you want it to be local or system-wide?23:13
italomaia_system-wide23:13
jar/usr/share/applications23:13
italomaia_k, i'll try out23:14
jaritalomaia_, Take a look at the GNOME games .desktop files23:15
jarit will give you an idea of how the spec works23:15
jarThe XFce team assures us that the menu editor will return for 4.823:15
italomaia_jar, holy shit, it works!23:21
jar:)23:21
jarHehe23:22
jaritalomaia_, It's a pretty simple spec to work with. All it really needs to know is the name and executable really23:22
jaroh, and a category23:22
jarMost of the rest is optional.23:22
italomaia_yeap. The category thing got me confused.23:23
jarYeah, it can be a bit tricky23:24
italomaia_Application;Game;Emulator;GTK <- gives me the following menu: application->game23:24
jarThat sounds about right.23:24
jarWhat emulator are you using that didn't come with a menu entry?23:25
jarthat's a little weird if it came from apt23:25
italomaia_jar, actually, i made a menu app for pygame games and i wanted it to have an entry in the menu23:32
jarAh :)23:33
* jar nod23:33
italomaia_had some hard time finding docs about editing xfce menu by hand23:33
jaritalomaia_, the cool thing is .desktop is for ALL menus23:33
jarit'll work in GNOME too23:33
italomaia_hummm23:33
jargnome uses /usr/share/applications .. i think kde does too23:33
jarnot sure23:33
jardon't quote me23:34
jar:P23:34
italomaia_sorry23:34
jarsorry?23:35
jarFor?23:35
italomaia_you said don't quote me23:35
italomaia_i tought you meant this:23:35
italomaia_jar,23:35
jarohhh23:35
italomaia_brazillian here. hoho. I don't get a few expression right23:35
jarit was just a joke saying i'm not sure so i'm sorry if it doesn't work in kde23:36
jar:)23:36
jari've not used KDE in many years23:36
italomaia_humm, ok23:37
italomaia_by the way, i made a remaster of xubuntu these days23:37
italomaia_do you know of a nice place do advertise it?23:37
jarDistroWatch.com23:37
jar:)23:37
italomaia_k23:38
jaritalomaia_, what did you add or remove from xubuntu?23:40
italomaia_well, i changed a lot of applications and switched others for equivalent stuff made in python23:41
italomaia_gnome-games went out, totem went out, abiword...and other23:41
italomaia_s23:41
italomaia_mousepad was switched for scite, transmission for deluge23:42
jarSounds like you leaned it up a bit :P23:42
italomaia_well, yeap. My goal was to make something with 700mb or less23:43
jarI would've went with GVim over Scite ;)23:43
jarhehe23:43
italomaia_rsrs lot's of people like gvim23:43
jar:) hehe23:43
italomaia_i don't, i kind of dislike it23:44
jarYeah, it's a hit or miss editor.23:44
NTFSxubuntu sucks23:45
italomaia_yeap. Even tought of using PIDA because of the "vim inside factor"23:45
jarHehe.23:46
italomaia_for video playing, what do you use?23:46
jarI use Totem or VLC23:46
italomaia_vlc, totem, mplayer?23:46
jarI use Totem because it's the default, but VLC is fine with me.23:46
italomaia_and mplayer, you don't use?23:46
jarNot for a few years.23:47
