[01:07] How do I make a shortcut in a folder in Xubuntu? I've tried adding a shortcut via context menu, this doesn't work [01:16] I've always opened terminal and made the link manually [01:18] 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? [02:11] yoooo son [02:11] why does update manager suggest gnome-relevant updates, and how do I disable it? === magic_ninja420 is now known as magic_ninja [03:46] Why does update manager suggest updates relevant to Gnome? [03:54] isnt it either gnome or kde [04:28] Xubuntu is pretty nice [04:29] it runs relatively well on this athlon 1800 [05:41] I need an intel graphics Obiwan Kenobi / Jason Nesmith for help with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9227361#post9227361 [05:45] hey all, does anyone remember how to get to trash from the command line?

[08:03] sometimes when i install a program there is no icon in the menu [08:03] how can i change that? [08:04] programs in the terminal have no icon i know [08:05] to appear in the menu, the programs should provide a .desktop file that goes either to /usr/share/applications/ (global) or ~/.local/share/applications (local) [08:06] the file tells what program to run, what is the name and the icon etc. [08:06] ok i will figure this out [08:06] look at the existing .desktop files [08:06] best put your own files in the local directory [08:07] i am also new in linux but i will learn it i hope [08:07] i have an old laptop with xubuntu install know [08:08] i know already how to change file rights [08:08] and change owner [08:18] thanks TheSheep i wil try to gather more info when i figured this out [08:50] Morning anyone around? [08:52] I just did a remote upgrade and now I got nothing [08:52] looking for any input [08:53] it's a dedicated server with OVH [12:42] whats the difference with the new 10.04 xubuntu?:D [12:43] boots quicker for one thing [12:44] awesome [12:44] !

I want to be able to login using my .xsession, but there is not choice in the menu for this in Xubuntu 10.04 [14:52] I get KDE, Xubutnu session ?, Xfce session and xterm. Why not xsession? My biggest problem is finding where you can set this up in etc [15:24] Can anyone help me? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9227361#post9227361 [15:26] hey if i create an user during install will it overwrite an existing home folder with this name?? [15:28] No guarantees, but it should not overwrite. I think it may overwrite the hidden user files, however, such as .bashrc, .profile, etc. [15:50] xubuntu269: You will have permissions probs most likely, but it won't overwrite your home dir [15:58] my newly installed system hangs on login screen and keyboard and mouse do not work. what te hell [16:27] how to fin d a file in xubuntu& [16:29] jfsdjjksdf: find a file in xubuntu the same way as in Ubuntu, use 'find' in terminal [16:30] i don't want to use find in 2010, thanks [16:30] use catfish, then, in Applications -> Accessories [16:34] what the heck catfish has to do with search? [16:35] First, a little politeness goes a lot further than demands [16:35] second, read 'man catfish' and find out [16:37] hi charlie-tca can you help me fixing my web cam?? [16:37] subspider: I can't even make my own web cam work [16:37] !webcam [16:37] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [16:38] oooo [16:38] does it help? [16:38] maybe for me not [16:38] i just want to flip the image [16:38] * charlie-tca has not read it, didn't even know it was there [16:38] hahahahah [16:38] Turn the monitor upside down, then [16:39] charlie-tca, take look then it have nice info [16:39] I don't even have an image [16:39] Thanks, I will look at it [16:40] first, catfish has no man page; second i still fail to see how one can guess what 'catfish' has to with file search [16:41] what image is used on menu button by default? [16:41] strange. Catfish has a manpage here [16:42] icons depend on the icon specified in the .desktop file [16:42] it is a stub for man page, because its hasn't required sections [16:43] no, a menu button on the panel use a certain pixmap which is defined by applet settings. which is it by default? [16:43] It does tell you exactly what catfish is, read it [16:43] so, are you just here to argue today? [16:45] 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 [16:46] 'Xfce Menu' applet to be precise [16:46] what image is used on menu button by default? [16:46] yes! [16:46] Where does that say menu applet? [16:46] the menu buttons use an icon as specified in the .desktop files. [16:47] charlie-tca, what is your camera model ?? [16:48] subspider: I don't know, something by logitech. I suppose I just haven't bothered with it much [16:48] but you have [16:48] charlie-tca, for logitech is diferent [16:49] I plugged it in one day, and played a little bit, but I haven't really put any effort into making it work. [16:49] charlie-tca, http://www.quickcamteam.net/devices [16:50] Thank you, subspider. I will check it out in a little bit. Following sabdfl in openweek right now. [16:51] what is that [16:51] ?? [16:51] anyone in that channel can tell me which icon is used by 'xfce menu' applet by default in Xubuntu? [16:51] subspider: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek [17:05] for some reason nm-applet deactivates my network connection upon reboot, does anyone else have that problem? [17:08] (xubuntu lucid) [17:15] ochosi: I don't even have an nm-applet anymore [17:15] hm [17:15] It disappeared. I think it is because I use static ip's [17:15] strange strange [17:16] well, actually this bug just started to appear recently [17:16] i don't really know what it could be connected to [17:16] funny thing is it doesn't deactivate wireless, only general networking [17:16] laptop? which card? [17:16] huh? [17:17] could it be avahi doing it? [17:17] Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG [17:17] laptop [17:17] possibly, never changed anything about avahi [17:17] frankly i'm not using it [17:17] It is default in lucid [17:18] yeah, i guess it even was default in karmic and jaunty, no? [17:19] 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] It is possible that is causing the issue [17:21] I normally have to remove it just so I can connect. It steals my interfaces [17:22] hm [17:22] could be [18:51] alrighty [18:51] now my network is down again [18:52] I have the line "auto eth0" in my /etc/network/interfaces [18:52] when I run /etc/init.d/networking restart it says [18:52] "Ignoring unkown interface eth0=eth0" [18:54] and when I add the "iface inet et0 dhcp bla bla", then it works :) [18:54] ideas? Yes? :) [20:10] hello === DSLbug is now known as Arpad2 [20:11] my browser cant connect to the net [20:12] although i typed sudo ppoeconf [20:13] !pppoe [20:13] Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [20:13] thx i did it [20:13] but its not enough [20:13] k [20:13] in terminal i triggered the connection [20:14] and as a result it shows that really i have an ip address [20:14] the problem is nor opera neither firefox see it:( [20:15] I'm experiencing a very strange problem with thunar. When the detailed list view is enabled, it is possible to explore the first directory level only, the second one opens but it is unusable. [20:15] Misio: yes, it is a bug that has been reported [20:15] oh [20:16] Misio: I have it too [20:16] https://launchpad.net/bugs/520118 [20:16] When it has been introduced? Maybe into lucid? [20:16] yes, lucid [20:16] i replaced thunar with other program [20:17] thank you charlie-tca [20:17] I just use compact view now, and use ctrl+2 to switch to detail view when I really need it. Ctrl+3 switches back to compact view [20:17] I will use the compat list [20:18] hmmm I was entusiaxt about ubuntu but in lucid there are many things that doesn't work well [20:23] Seems to be a Gnome bug [20:26] Something related to gtk+2... funny... I'm fighting to reintroduce gtk+extra on universe :) [20:28] charlie-tca: thank you very much... see you next time :) [20:45] Did I see a blurb somewhere about Thunar borking in Lucid? [20:47] there have been problems after upgrading [20:47] i think problems with usb drives can be fixed by installing hal [20:50] https://launchpad.net/bugs/520118 [20:53] Sysi, nope, just browsing my local hard drive; actually right in /home/me/ [20:55] Ahhh. Just get out of detailed view and I'm in. Close enough for government work. Could be worse, right? Could be Windows 7... [20:56] q [20:56] quit [21:55] hi [21:56] i am having some problems installing xubuntu 10.04 is the the place to get help? :) tnks [21:57] It would depend on what the issue is. Please ask your question, all on one line, and if anyone here has an answer, they will give it. [22:02] Hey,does usr/bin default permissions is 755? [22:05] i am using xubuntu 9.04, and now i would like to install 10.04. 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 [22:06] GintasDX: yes [22:06] !nomodeset [22:06] Thank you. [22:08] bardo: what number/model is the graphics card? [22:10] bardo: does the desktop cd go to the desktop for you? [22:10] The new Intel drivers seems to be slower than on 9.10. [22:12] in this particular moment i am usin the laptop with the 9.04 installed and works fine, i cant't boot in any option(inclusive the try xubuntu without install) with 10.04 [22:41] Anyone know P4 era intel graphics? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9227361#post9227361 [23:01] hi again, i am having problemas installing xubuntu with the Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02). does anyone knows a solution. [23:34] 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! [23:36] is the top and bottom panel visible? [23:36] nope [23:36] only the bg [23:36] and context menus [23:36] then open a terminal [23:36] and enter "xfce4-panel &" [23:36] (without the "") [23:38] Did it work for you? [23:38] started a terminal at DISPLAY=:0.0 from vt1, it's running, but not shown [23:38] panel _is_ running [23:39] but hidden somewhere :( [23:39] verify running panels with "sudo ps aux | grep xfce4-panel" [23:40] confirmed, panel and plugins are there [23:40] then memorize the PID and kill it if not responding with "kill -9 PID" [23:40] huh? [23:40] then reload it with "xfce4-panel &". In case that won't help tell me... [23:41] I have a console shown in two 24" lcd monitor... no need to memorize pids :) [23:41] ok, 1m [23:42] didn't work... [23:43] but when I went back to vt7 the screen saver was running... after it left I got the "empty" desktop again [23:43] 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] they are all running fine [23:43] their visualization is hidden somewhere [23:44] 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] i can move the mouse to where the panel is supposed to be and open a context menu, which i can see [23:46] /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] does "AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switching" means anything? [23:46] it's in var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:46] no [23:46] I recommend you to file a bug report against the package xfce4-meta (best bet) on Launchpad and describe the problem briefly. [23:47] 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] "Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switching" which timestamp does it have? some hours ago? [23:48] i think it's recent... but it comes after lot of randing about my bluetooth mouse probably related to inactivity periods during the day [23:49] mnemoc I saw such a tool in a different disro but never saw it in Xubuntu. I was always forwarded to Launchpad. [23:50] I think so. at least the AIGLX suspension is not critical and has nothing to do with your current problem. [23:50] i doubt filing a bug without attaching the whole world would help [23:50] ok [23:51] does the X have something like a Z-index I could change for the background? [23:51] moving it back to.... the background? :) [23:52] or... can I kill it? [23:53] kill what X? [23:53] that's what I wanted to avoid [23:53] Do you need to save something? [23:53] I thought the background image could belong to an xfce app [23:54] yes, like 4h of work :( [23:54] No, it's xfce4-sesion IMHO. [23:54] OMG. Let me think. [23:55] it's so... weird to see irssi in full screen mirrored on two 24" displays [23:56] I would not want to kill the xfce4-session, gdm or X. [23:57] this damn vncviewer should have done something in the X internals when going full-screen... and (obvisuly) didn't restore when I killed it [23:58] Simple because there are dependancies. [23:58] It could also be xfwm4 that causes trouble. But there are deps for e.g. wehn firefox is open... [23:59] can i safely shoot xfwm4 and restart it? [23:59] Ok I'm out of ideas. No, xfwm is not an option but chek youself: a hint...
