haavaros | How do I make a shortcut in a folder in Xubuntu? I've tried adding a shortcut via context menu, this doesn't work | 01:07 |
---|---|---|
arthurjohnson | I've always opened terminal and made the link manually | 01:16 |
haavaros | arthurjohnson: I found out that thunar is the window manager, so I added a shortcut with the command 'thunar /path/to/folder', that worked. How do you do it in terminal? | 01:18 |
dankus | yoooo son | 02:11 |
haavaros | why does update manager suggest gnome-relevant updates, and how do I disable it? | 02:11 |

bkm_ | Does somebody knows how to change the menu | 07:58 |
bkm_ | i am new in xubuntu | 07:59 |
TheSheep | how would you like to change it? | 08:02 |
bkm_ | sometimes when i install a program there is no icon in the menu | 08:03 |
bkm_ | how can i change that? | 08:03 |
bkm_ | programs in the terminal have no icon i know | 08:04 |
TheSheep | to appear in the menu, the programs should provide a <programname>.desktop file that goes either to /usr/share/applications/ (global) or ~/.local/share/applications (local) | 08:05 |
TheSheep | the file tells what program to run, what is the name and the icon etc. | 08:06 |
bkm_ | ok i will figure this out | 08:06 |
TheSheep | look at the existing .desktop files | 08:06 |
TheSheep | best put your own files in the local directory | 08:06 |
bkm_ | i am also new in linux but i will learn it i hope | 08:07 |
bkm_ | i have an old laptop with xubuntu install know | 08:07 |
bkm_ | i know already how to change file rights | 08:08 |
bkm_ | and change owner | 08:08 |

xubuntu269 | hey if i create an user during install will it overwrite an existing home folder with this name?? | 15:26 |
charlie-tca | No guarantees, but it should not overwrite. I think it may overwrite the hidden user files, however, such as .bashrc, .profile, etc. | 15:28 |
arthurjohnson | xubuntu269: You will have permissions probs most likely, but it won't overwrite your home dir | 15:50 |

charlie-tca | jfsdjjksdf: find a file in xubuntu the same way as in Ubuntu, use 'find' in terminal | 16:29 |
jfsdjjksdf | i don't want to use find in 2010, thanks | 16:30 |
charlie-tca | use catfish, then, in Applications -> Accessories | 16:30 |
jfsdjjksdf | what the heck catfish has to do with search? | 16:34 |
charlie-tca | First, a little politeness goes a lot further than demands | 16:35 |
charlie-tca | second, read 'man catfish' and find out | 16:35 |

subspider | i just want to flip the image | 16:38 |

subspider | hahahahah | 16:38 |
charlie-tca | Turn the monitor upside down, then | 16:38 |
subspider | charlie-tca, take look then it have nice info | 16:39 |
charlie-tca | I don't even have an image | 16:39 |
charlie-tca | Thanks, I will look at it | 16:39 |
jfsdjjksdf | first, catfish has no man page; second i still fail to see how one can guess what 'catfish' has to with file search | 16:40 |
jfsdjjksdf | what image is used on menu button by default? | 16:41 |
charlie-tca | strange. Catfish has a manpage here | 16:41 |
charlie-tca | icons depend on the icon specified in the .desktop file | 16:42 |
jfsdjjksdf | it is a stub for man page, because its hasn't required sections | 16:42 |
jfsdjjksdf | no, a menu button on the panel use a certain pixmap which is defined by applet settings. which is it by default? | 16:43 |
charlie-tca | It does tell you exactly what catfish is, read it | 16:43 |
charlie-tca | so, are you just here to argue today? | 16:43 |
jfsdjjksdf | i asked which image is used for application menu applet, and you instead just open it properties and say, telling me unrelated stuff about .desktop files | 16:45 |
jfsdjjksdf | 'Xfce Menu' applet to be precise | 16:46 |
charlie-tca | <jfsdjjksdf> what image is used on menu button by default? | 16:46 |
jfsdjjksdf | yes! | 16:46 |
charlie-tca | Where does that say menu applet? | 16:46 |
charlie-tca | the menu buttons use an icon as specified in the .desktop files. | 16:46 |

ochosi | for some reason nm-applet deactivates my network connection upon reboot, does anyone else have that problem? | 17:05 |
ochosi | (xubuntu lucid) | 17:08 |
charlie-tca | ochosi: I don't even have an nm-applet anymore | 17:15 |
ochosi | hm | 17:15 |
charlie-tca | It disappeared. I think it is because I use static ip's | 17:15 |
ochosi | strange strange | 17:15 |
ochosi | well, actually this bug just started to appear recently | 17:16 |
ochosi | i don't really know what it could be connected to | 17:16 |
ochosi | funny thing is it doesn't deactivate wireless, only general networking | 17:16 |
charlie-tca | laptop? which card? | 17:16 |
charlie-tca | huh? | 17:16 |
charlie-tca | could it be avahi doing it? | 17:17 |
ochosi | Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG | 17:17 |
ochosi | laptop | 17:17 |
ochosi | possibly, never changed anything about avahi | 17:17 |
ochosi | frankly i'm not using it | 17:17 |
charlie-tca | It is default in lucid | 17:17 |
ochosi | yeah, i guess it even was default in karmic and jaunty, no? | 17:18 |
charlie-tca | no, it changed in 9.10 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Avahi%20will%20always%20start%20even%20if%20a%20.local%20domain%20is%20present | 17:19 |
charlie-tca | It is possible that is causing the issue | 17:19 |
charlie-tca | I normally have to remove it just so I can connect. It steals my interfaces | 17:21 |

When i start installing it apears the first menu where i can slect the language and the select to install, boot from hard drive, etc. i select install but then it apears the xubuntu logo with bad colors and after that the computer hangs. my laptop is a hp dv1000 with a intel graphic card and a ide hard disk | 22:05 |

mnemoc | hi, i have a weird problem.... my mistake I put tightvnc's vncviewer in full screen, and as the menu didn't come i switched to tty1 and killed it. but now back in tty7 the background image is shown, and also the context menus.... but not the apps! | 23:34 |
Aquina | is the top and bottom panel visible? | 23:36 |
mnemoc | nope | 23:36 |
mnemoc | only the bg | 23:36 |
mnemoc | and context menus | 23:36 |
Aquina | then open a terminal | 23:36 |
Aquina | and enter "xfce4-panel &" | 23:36 |
Aquina | (without the "") | 23:36 |
Aquina | Did it work for you? | 23:38 |
mnemoc | started a terminal at DISPLAY=:0.0 from vt1, it's running, but not shown | 23:38 |
mnemoc | panel _is_ running | 23:38 |
mnemoc | but hidden somewhere :( | 23:39 |
Aquina | verify running panels with "sudo ps aux | grep xfce4-panel" | 23:39 |
mnemoc | confirmed, panel and plugins are there | 23:40 |
Aquina | then memorize the PID and kill it if not responding with "kill -9 PID" | 23:40 |
Aquina | huh? | 23:40 |
Aquina | then reload it with "xfce4-panel &". In case that won't help tell me... | 23:40 |
mnemoc | I have a console shown in two 24" lcd monitor... no need to memorize pids :) | 23:41 |
mnemoc | ok, 1m | 23:41 |
mnemoc | didn't work... | 23:42 |
mnemoc | but when I went back to vt7 the screen saver was running... after it left I got the "empty" desktop again | 23:43 |
Aquina | In case all that doesn't help try: sudo ps -aux | grep 'xfce4-' Then verify if the listed procs are zombies and also verify the basic ones (xfce4-session, xfce4-panel) are running at all. | 23:43 |
mnemoc | they are all running fine | 23:43 |
mnemoc | their visualization is hidden somewhere | 23:43 |
Aquina | Thats crazy. So you killed the xfce4-terminal and started it again. So the problem is something else. already checked /var/log/messages? | 23:44 |
mnemoc | i can move the mouse to where the panel is supposed to be and open a context menu, which i can see | 23:44 |
Aquina | /var/log/daemon.log also sometimes helps with gdm issues. I think however the xfce4-panel is the problem. Did you receive an error mesage when the problem occoured first? | 23:46 |
mnemoc | does "AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switching" means anything? | 23:46 |
mnemoc | it's in var/log/Xorg.0.log | 23:46 |
Aquina | no | 23:46 |
Aquina | I recommend you to file a bug report against the package xfce4-meta (best bet) on Launchpad and describe the problem briefly. | 23:46 |
mnemoc | is there a tool to file a bug report collecting data but NOT relying in confirming using a browser or clicking on anything i can't see? | 23:47 |
Aquina | "Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switching" which timestamp does it have? some hours ago? | 23:47 |
mnemoc | i think it's recent... but it comes after lot of randing about my bluetooth mouse probably related to inactivity periods during the day | 23:48 |
Aquina | mnemoc I saw such a tool in a different disro but never saw it in Xubuntu. I was always forwarded to Launchpad. | 23:49 |
Aquina | I think so. at least the AIGLX suspension is not critical and has nothing to do with your current problem. | 23:50 |
mnemoc | i doubt filing a bug without attaching the whole world would help | 23:50 |
mnemoc | ok | 23:50 |
mnemoc | does the X have something like a Z-index I could change for the background? | 23:51 |
mnemoc | moving it back to.... the background? :) | 23:51 |
mnemoc | or... can I kill it? | 23:52 |
Aquina | kill what X? | 23:53 |
mnemoc | that's what I wanted to avoid | 23:53 |
Aquina | Do you need to save something? | 23:53 |
mnemoc | I thought the background image could belong to an xfce app | 23:53 |
mnemoc | yes, like 4h of work :( | 23:54 |
Aquina | No, it's xfce4-sesion IMHO. | 23:54 |
Aquina | OMG. Let me think. | 23:54 |
mnemoc | it's so... weird to see irssi in full screen mirrored on two 24" displays | 23:55 |
Aquina | I would not want to kill the xfce4-session, gdm or X. | 23:56 |
mnemoc | this damn vncviewer should have done something in the X internals when going full-screen... and (obvisuly) didn't restore when I killed it | 23:57 |
Aquina | Simple because there are dependancies. | 23:58 |
Aquina | It could also be xfwm4 that causes trouble. But there are deps for e.g. wehn firefox is open... | 23:58 |
mnemoc | can i safely shoot xfwm4 and restart it? | 23:59 |
Aquina | Ok I'm out of ideas. No, xfwm is not an option but chek youself: a hint... | 23:59 |
