[18:32] I'm so lazy. [22:01] hi there [22:03] why tasksel in xubuntu 9.10 don't have the same tasks as in ubuntu ? i wanted to install the lamp server [22:14] Why would you want to run X11 on a server..? [22:32] jar, x ssh tunneling maybe? [22:32] jar, or freenx or vnc [22:33] knome, It's not that alternatives can't be used. [22:33] It's that it sucks that it doesn't work. [22:33] :) [23:03] knome, Oh wow I just realized what you replied to. [23:03] I thought you were replying to what I said in #xfce [23:03] * jar shakes his head [23:04] lol [23:11] hello! How could i edit xubuntu user menu in text mode? [23:12] italomaia_, What specifically do you need to do? [23:12] i need to add an item to the "games" section [23:12] in the menu [23:13] italomaia_, You'll need to make a .desktop file for it since the distributor did not. [23:13] where should i place it? [23:13] do you want it to be local or system-wide? [23:13] system-wide [23:13] /usr/share/applications [23:14] k, i'll try out [23:15] italomaia_, Take a look at the GNOME games .desktop files [23:15] it will give you an idea of how the spec works [23:15] The XFce team assures us that the menu editor will return for 4.8 [23:21] jar, holy shit, it works! [23:21] :) [23:22] Hehe [23:22] italomaia_, It's a pretty simple spec to work with. All it really needs to know is the name and executable really [23:22] oh, and a category [23:22] Most of the rest is optional. [23:23] yeap. The category thing got me confused. [23:24] Yeah, it can be a bit tricky [23:24] Application;Game;Emulator;GTK <- gives me the following menu: application->game [23:24] That sounds about right. [23:25] What emulator are you using that didn't come with a menu entry? [23:25] that's a little weird if it came from apt [23:32] jar, actually, i made a menu app for pygame games and i wanted it to have an entry in the menu [23:33] Ah :) [23:33] * jar nod [23:33] had some hard time finding docs about editing xfce menu by hand [23:33] italomaia_, the cool thing is .desktop is for ALL menus [23:33] it'll work in GNOME too [23:33] hummm [23:33] gnome uses /usr/share/applications .. i think kde does too [23:33] not sure [23:34] don't quote me [23:34] :P [23:34] sorry [23:35] sorry? [23:35] For? [23:35] you said don't quote me [23:35] i tought you meant this: [23:35] jar, [23:35] ohhh [23:35] brazillian here. hoho. I don't get a few expression right [23:36] it was just a joke saying i'm not sure so i'm sorry if it doesn't work in kde [23:36] :) [23:36] i've not used KDE in many years [23:37] humm, ok [23:37] by the way, i made a remaster of xubuntu these days [23:37] do you know of a nice place do advertise it? [23:37] DistroWatch.com [23:37] :) [23:38] k [23:40] italomaia_, what did you add or remove from xubuntu? [23:41] well, i changed a lot of applications and switched others for equivalent stuff made in python [23:41] gnome-games went out, totem went out, abiword...and other [23:41] s [23:42] mousepad was switched for scite, transmission for deluge [23:42] Sounds like you leaned it up a bit :P [23:43] well, yeap. My goal was to make something with 700mb or less [23:43] I would've went with GVim over Scite ;) [23:43] hehe [23:43] rsrs lot's of people like gvim [23:43] :) hehe [23:44] i don't, i kind of dislike it [23:44] Yeah, it's a hit or miss editor. [23:45] xubuntu sucks [23:45] yeap. Even tought of using PIDA because of the "vim inside factor" [23:46] Hehe. [23:46] for video playing, what do you use? [23:46] I use Totem or VLC [23:46] vlc, totem, mplayer? [23:46] I use Totem because it's the default, but VLC is fine with me. [23:46] and mplayer, you don't use? [23:47] Not for a few years. [23:47] windows 7 is god [23:47] NTFS, We heard you the first time. [23:47] windows 7 is god [23:48] That's nice.
