| hapik | how can I edit xfce menu? | 00:02 |
| charlie-tca | 3. http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu | 00:04 |
| charlie-tca | if you are sure you want to... | 00:04 |
| hapik | charlie-tca: as to the problem with startx on user account - the solution was in .ICEauthority file | 00:06 |
| charlie-tca | hmmm? | 00:06 |
| hapik | a few hours ago I could get xfce on root account but not on user account - I guess we were talking about that | 00:07 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, I remember that. I just don't know how to read .ICEauthority | 00:08 |
| hapik | i presume that somehow after changing notification area setup, /home/user/.ICEauthority file ownership was changed - when I removed it (I should just chown) I could log in as a user | 00:10 |
| charlie-tca | Oh, I got it | 00:10 |
| charlie-tca | root stole the file | 00:10 |
| hapik | I was just lucky, as my knowledge of linux in not advanced | 00:11 |

| Linera | hello | 04:25 |
| Linera | Could someone please tell me how to get the taskbar to reappear in the Xfce desktop? | 04:25 |
| pleia2 | !panels | 04:29 |
| ubottu | Did your panels disappear? Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel | See also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels | Want to theme your panels? See http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/howto-set-a-background-image-for-your-panel/ | 04:29 |
| pleia2 | might help | 04:29 |
| Linera | i said my taskbar | 04:30 |
| pleia2 | the XubuntuPanels wiki page explains how to readd things that have disappeared from the panel :) | 04:31 |
| Linera | its not panels, its my taskbars | 04:32 |
| pleia2 | hmm, what exactly do you mean by taskbar? | 04:32 |
| Linera | The things at the top and bottom of your desktop for apps, and a start menu like thing for shut down | 04:33 |
| Linera | the bottom one shows little bars for each app opened | 04:34 |
| Linera | thats a task bar | 04:34 |
| Myrtti | Panels | 04:34 |
| Myrtti | :-) | 04:34 |
| Linera | its called a taskbar | 04:34 |
| pleia2 | in xubuntu they are called panels | 04:35 |
| Linera | it holds the tasks you can perform and are currently performing | 04:35 |
| Linera | hence why its called a taskbar | 04:35 |
| Myrtti | Oh, you mean that specific applet | 04:35 |
| pleia2 | the "task list"? | 04:35 |
| pleia2 | it's something you can add to your panel, as described in the wiki page | 04:36 |
| Linera | taskbar is a desktop display bar used to launch and monitor applications. | 04:37 |
| pleia2 | right click on the panel, go to "add new items..." and from the list "task list" and whatever else you wish to add | 04:37 |
| pleia2 | s/list/list, select | 04:37 |
| Linera | all i need to know is how to make my "TASKBAR" to reappear | 04:38 |
| pleia2 | the bars at the top and bottom of your screen with all the stuff in them, they disappeared and you want them back, right? | 04:38 |
| Linera | yes, the taskbar | 04:39 |
| pleia2 | Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel | 04:39 |
| Linera | not panel, the taskbar | 04:39 |
| pleia2 | what you're describing is the panel | 04:39 |
| Linera | its not a panel | 04:40 |
| Myrtti | The "task bar" lives inside a panel in xubuntu. If you dont have panels, you cant have "task bar" | 04:43 |
| Myrtti | Unless you are using some other nondefault application to create such | 04:45 |
| Myrtti | Linera ^ | 04:46 |
| * likemindead thinks pleia2 got trolled... | 04:54 | |
| pleia2 | yeah, that possibility has now dawned on me :) | 04:55 |

| _Techie_ | does anyone here have experience with modified xbox's (original), cromwell bios experience will help | 07:49 |
| _Techie_ | dangit, why is there never anybody with around with the experience to help me | 07:53 |
| Balsaq | hmmm...because you are at the top of the food chain dude | 07:54 |
| _Techie_ | as if | 07:54 |
| _Techie_ | with my gear | 07:54 |
| _Techie_ | that would be like being a millionare and not driving a ferrari | 07:55 |
| Balsaq | i wonder if there is a channel that is for xbox | 07:55 |
| _Techie_ | probably | 07:55 |
| Balsaq | only one person in it | 07:55 |
| _Techie_ | but their mainly for straight up xbox modding | 07:55 |
| Balsaq | o | 07:55 |
| Balsaq | i bought my nephew the original xbox years ago | 07:56 |
| _Techie_ | that chan is absolutely useless | 07:56 |
| _Techie_ | i spit on ##xbox | 07:56 |
| Balsaq | my 17 year old nephew has had his xbox for man years...would he know how to help you? he play games on it? | 07:57 |
| Balsaq | many | 07:57 |
| Balsaq | or are you trying to do something..unusual on it? | 07:58 |
| _Techie_ | very unusual | 07:59 |
| _Techie_ | advanced modding to be specific | 07:59 |
| _Techie_ | i think i might have just solved my problem | 08:04 |
| Balsaq | what is modding | 08:04 |
| _Techie_ | modification | 08:04 |
| Balsaq | are you trying to make it into a computer? | 08:04 |
| _Techie_ | it already is a computer | 08:05 |
| _Techie_ | =) | 08:05 |
| Balsaq | hmmm how big is the processor | 08:05 |
| Balsaq | ram and all | 08:05 |
| _Techie_ | 733mhz | 08:05 |
| Balsaq | whoah | 08:05 |
| _Techie_ | better than that old clunker of yours | 08:05 |
| Balsaq | thats more that 2 of my old timers | 08:05 |
| Balsaq | but i have 5 2.4's and a 1.7 too | 08:05 |
| _Techie_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox#Modding | 08:06 |
| Balsaq | my nephew got the new xbox from his dad for christmas, ill have to ask him what he going to do with the original | 08:06 |
| Balsaq | so his should be 733 also | 08:07 |
| Balsaq | how much ram | 08:07 |
| _Techie_ | 64mb | 08:11 |
| Balsaq | ouch | 08:11 |
| Balsaq | sdram? | 08:11 |
| _Techie_ | if hes inclined he can easily turn it into a media center | 08:11 |
| _Techie_ | but he probably already know that | 08:11 |
| _Techie_ | yeah SD | 08:11 |
| _Techie_ | if he can pay postage id be more than happy to mod it for him for free and install a 40gig hard drive | 08:12 |
| Balsaq | yeah but postage to downunder would be massive | 08:12 |
| _Techie_ | oh yeah | 08:13 |
| _Techie_ | it will be | 08:13 |
| _Techie_ | but its prolly less than a dead xbox | 08:13 |
| Sysi | shame that you(i) can't get anything sensible from ps2 | 08:13 |
| _Techie_ | ps2 was a mistake, and a stupid mistake on behalf of sony | 08:14 |
| Sysi | there is place for hd, but propably impossible to get cooling enough good to any proper hardware | 08:15 |
| _Techie_ | not only did it look ancient next to the performace of the xbox, they didnt do any research and ended up keeping the same old uncompfortable controllers | 08:15 |
| Sysi | yeah, and why are those controllers still in ps3 | 08:21 |
| Sysi | or almost same at least | 08:21 |
| _Techie_ | because sony have thick skulls | 08:22 |
| _Techie_ | atleast the PS3 is moddable though | 08:23 |
| _Techie_ | night all | 10:03 |

| Xfact | I am thinking about to transfer my desktop from Ubuntu to Xubuntu, but my question is will I miss any spacial features (except eye-candy)? | 14:13 |
| Xfact | anyone can help with the issue? | 14:14 |
| ablomen | Xfact, the only missing feature i can think of is the fact that thunar (xfce's filemanager) has no build in samba support | 14:15 |
| Pres-Gas | ablomen and Xfact, mount.cifs works quite well, however. | 14:16 |
| ablomen | yep it does :) | 14:16 |
| Pres-Gas | ablomen, have you used gigolo? | 14:16 |
| Xfact | well, I am just medium computer user, I use my pc just for fun and entertainment with some basic works (text and web surfing etc.) so I think I will not miss any spacial feature | 14:17 |
| ablomen | Pres-Gas, no i don't swing that way</badJoke> ehm is that that graphical mount utility? | 14:17 |
| Xfact | so can you tell me the command to reach Xubuntu from Ubuntu? | 14:18 |
| Pres-Gas | We will all be lurking about if you need help anyway, Xfact. | 14:18 |
| ablomen | Xfact, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop will install xfce etc for you | 14:18 |
| Pres-Gas | You will have some remenant Ubu services still starting, Xfact. So you will kind of have a hybrid system | 14:19 |
| Xfact | ablomen: will it change my presant Ubuntu (important) settings? | 14:19 |
| ablomen | Xfact, nope, just install's xfce next to it | 14:20 |
| ablomen | Pres-Gas, ah i see it now, no i have not, just use a few scripts myself | 14:20 |
| Pres-Gas | ablomen, it looks like gigolo is using the gvfs backend...gvfs seems to be looking like the gtk+ agnostic fs backend, but don't quote me on that. | 14:54 |
| ablomen | Pres-Gas, from what i have read about it, gvfs is evil, since it is fuse but then the gnome way, not using fuse.. but dont quote me on that either :) | 14:54 |
| ablomen | (so it still wont extend the filesystem, so only gvfs enabled apps can use it) | 14:55 |
| retour | where xfce saves settings for the audio mixer? Every time I reboot everything is muted | 15:25 |

| Eltornado | hello | 15:56 |
| Eltornado | using Xubuntu 9.10 can't find my Xorg.conf, where that file is located ? | 15:56 |
| ablomen | Eltornado, it does not exists anymore | 15:57 |
| ablomen | you can create it though, /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 15:57 |
| Eltornado | ablomen what do you mean create it manually ? | 15:57 |
| ablomen | yeah, it still reads it so you can add rules if you have to | 15:58 |
| Sysi- | write it yourself | 15:58 |
| Eltornado | i see, you know the problem i got is that i have to set the resolution of the gdm screen login ad the desktop reslution so where can i make that change ? | 15:59 |
| Eltornado | ablomen dunno what to write on it | 15:59 |
| Sysi- | in settings menu isn't correct one available? | 15:59 |
| Sysi- | you can also try xrandr | 16:00 |
| Eltornado | syns1- in the setting i can only change the desktop rscreen resolution not the gdm resolution | 16:00 |
| Eltornado | how can i user xrandr ? | 16:01 |
| TheSheep | xrandr --help | 16:03 |
| TheSheep | !xrandr | 16:03 |
| ubottu | XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 16:03 |
| Eltornado | TheSheep, ok i'll try to do it | 16:05 |
| Eltornado | thanks | 16:05 |
| Sysi- | is that gdm's resolution _that_ necessary, i'd guess that fixing that is not very easy | 16:05 |
| Sysi- | ir well, it can be | 16:05 |
| Sysi- | *or | 16:05 |
| Sysi- | i use automatic login, never see gdm | 16:06 |
| Eltornado | Sysi-, yes i have to change it there is a bug in gdm when the resolution of the gdm is different to desktop screen resolution it make a loop on the login | 16:07 |
| Sysi- | oh right | 16:07 |
| Eltornado | now i have the gdm screen resolution set to 800x600 and desktop to 1024x768 | 16:07 |
| Sysi- | ot worked on fedora :O | 16:08 |
| Sysi- | bad-writing day | 16:08 |
| Eltornado | i changeddesktop res to 800x600 ,and everything work alright | 16:08 |
| TheSheep | if only I had a script that sets up all the session-related stuff that X needs, I'd get rid of gdm entirely | 16:08 |
| TheSheep | things like ICE and seahorse | 16:09 |
| Eltornado | is there a way to generate the xorg.conf automaticlly ? | 16:17 |
| Eltornado | :) | 16:17 |
| genii | Eltornado: If you login to console only and stop display manager, you can do: sudo Xorg -configure which dumps an xorg.conf in current directory. Then mv it into /etc/X11 and start display manager | 16:26 |
| Eltornado | genii thanks man | 16:29 |

| becker_11 | hello does anyone know if Gnu IceCat is available on x/ubuntu ? | 20:29 |
| cody-somerville | becker_11, Icecat? Do you mean icecast? | 20:30 |
| likemindead | Surely there's a .deb or PPA. | 20:31 |
| becker_11 | nope cody-somerville Gnu IceCat is the free firefox Gnu browser | 20:31 |
| likemindead | http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html | 20:31 |
| cody-somerville | Ah, okay. | 20:31 |
| cody-somerville | No, icecat doesn't appear to be in the repositories. | 20:32 |
| becker_11 | thanks | 20:32 |
| cody-somerville | No problem. | 20:32 |
| cody-somerville | If you're interested in seeing it get added, you can file a packaging request on launchpad or in Debian's bug tracker system. | 20:32 |
| Myrtti | O | 20:33 |
| becker_11 | oh cool | 20:33 |
| becker_11 | How do I go about doing that cody-somerville ? | 20:33 |
| Myrtti | I've seen it being built to a ppa on launchpad | 20:33 |
| * becker_11 searching | 20:33 | |
| Myrtti | just was watching the buildqueue couple of hours ago | 20:33 |
| becker_11 | Found it the only problem is | 20:35 |
| becker_11 | You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA by adding ppa:gnuzilla-team/ppa to your system's Software Sources | 20:35 |
| Myrtti | becker_11: and you don't want to install from that? | 20:37 |
| becker_11 | Myrtti, just a bit concerned that they are saying it's untrusted and unsupported | 20:38 |
| Myrtti | becker_11: well it's your judgement call. It's the easiest way of installing it. Of course you can download the source and compile and install it yourself | 20:39 |
| becker_11 | Myrtti, yeah I'm checking it out now will decide in a while | 20:39 |

| Sachse_Siechtum | on the printer... | 20:42 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | a big "E" | 20:42 |
| becker_11 | Myrtti, do you know if I need to remove firefox before installing icecat?? | 20:42 |
| Myrtti | becker_11: have no idea, but I'd assume no | 20:43 |
| becker_11 | Myrtti, okay thanks | 20:43 |
| charlie-tca | Sachse_Siechtum: That would be a problem with the printer itself. Have you looked carefully to make sure there is not a paper jam in it that is causing it? Could be a small piece still stuck inside that is hard to see. | 20:47 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | no. I switched the printer on in Windows XP and he printed the test page | 20:48 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | (the printer was also on in Xubuntu) | 20:49 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | brb | 20:51 |
| becker_11 | Myrtti, just a heads up IceCat installs alongside firefox | 20:55 |

| balsaq | how come sometimes when i make a quick launch link at the top after it restarts it sometimes changes from the left side at the top where i put it to the right side? | 21:38 |
| balsaq | speaking of which, can i make a quick launch link for the desktop? | 21:38 |
| TheSheep | sure, I think it's fastest to just copy one from /usr/share/applications/ | 21:40 |
| TheSheep | copy it to ~/Desktop/ | 21:40 |
| balsaq | TheSheep, how do i do that? | 21:40 |
| TheSheep | let me see, open Thunar, navigate to /usr/share/applications, select one of the files in there and drag it to the desktop | 21:41 |
| balsaq | TheSheep, thanks, but i meant single click launch | 21:44 |
| balsaq | like on the taskbar | 21:44 |
| TheSheep | no | 21:44 |
| balsaq | TheSheep, there's no way? | 21:44 |
| TheSheep | you could install some additional application that does it, like gdesklets | 21:44 |
| balsaq | TheSheep, where do i get that? | 21:45 |
| TheSheep | from the repos | 21:45 |
| TheSheep | !info gdesklets | 21:45 |
