| Phrea | http://i.imgur.com/y7Zuf.jpg why is my Nautilus and rightclick menu so unlike Lucid? :? [the rest is like it should be, including app/etc menus] | 03:29 |
| === The67terminator is now known as smeag0l | ||
| Phrea | sorry for the big picture, I've got dualscreen | 03:30 |
| Chesamo | Come again, Phrea? That looks like the normal menu to me. | 03:31 |
| Phrea | it should be like the applications menu etc | 03:31 |
| Phrea | and Nautilus looks rediculously outdated | 03:32 |
| Phrea | it does NOT look like this on my other box | 03:32 |
| Phrea | at all | 03:32 |
| Chesamo | The Applications menu doesn't come up on right-click in GNOME. | 03:32 |
| Appl6 | Phrea: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9307380 | 03:32 |
| Phrea | Chesamo: talking about different things here, see screenshot | 03:33 |
| Phrea | Appl6: having a look :) | 03:33 |
| Phrea | I'm not sure about this... | 03:34 |
| Phrea | should I blindly c/p those commands? | 03:34 |
| Chesamo | Yes | 03:34 |
| Chesamo | Phrea: They won't do any damage | 03:34 |
| Phrea | you didnt even understand what I meant | 03:35 |
| Chesamo | phrea: But only do one or the other. I reccomend the second one. | 03:35 |
| Phrea | I'm not sure... | 03:35 |
| Chesamo | Phrea: It's explained in the post ;-) | 03:35 |
| Phrea | then I have to reboot... :x | 03:35 |
| Appl6 | Phrea: I think he did. To the point, you can mv that directory out of the way if rm makes you uncomfortable. | 03:35 |
| Phrea | I hate rebooting | 03:35 |
| Chesamo | Phrea: Why? The boot time on Ubuntu is negligible, if anything | 03:36 |
| Appl6 | Phrea: And no, you just have to restart nautilus. | 03:36 |
| Phrea | ok... | 03:36 |
| Phrea | if something goes wrong, you dudes are to blame ! | 03:36 |
| Chesamo | Phrea: We live with that risk every day ;-) | 03:36 |
| Phrea | thank you so much... :x | 03:40 |
| Phrea | it DID reboot my wole damn computer | 03:40 |
| Phrea | you can imagine how happy I was about that... | 03:41 |
| * Chesamo blinks | 03:41 | |

| Votebot | Phrea: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 03:42 |
| Chesamo | Durn. | 03:42 |
| Phrea | it rebooted my system | 03:42 |
| ZachK_ | Chesamo: you have to be voiced | 03:42 |
| Phrea | I asked about that | 03:42 |
| Chesamo | Yeah, I heard :P | 03:42 |
| Chesamo | Phrea: [22:36] <Appl6> Phrea: And no, you just have to restart nautilus. | 03:43 |
| Phrea | I didnt get the chance did I | 03:43 |
| Appl6 | Phrea: Has the problem been resolved? | 03:43 |
| Phrea | as soon as I entered that command, my computer rebooted | 03:43 |
| Phrea | Appl6: yes | 03:43 |
| Appl6 | Phrea: You mean the "reboot" command? It tends to do that. | 03:43 |
| Phrea | I was going to say that | 03:43 |
| Chesamo | Phrea: Yeah, that's why it's generally advisable to read the entire post | 03:43 |
| Phrea | Appl6: I asked about it | 03:43 |
| Phrea | oh well, it solved the 'problem' | 03:44 |
| Phrea | but please, be more careful next time | 03:44 |
| Appl6 | ! | 03:44 |
| Phrea | read the commands, know what they do | 03:44 |
| Appl6 | !! | 03:44 |
| Chesamo | Phrea: We did and do. We gave you the simplest command and did something before I had time to react :/ | 03:44 |
| Phrea | it did however work :) | 03:45 |
| Phrea | I asked about the reboot command | 03:45 |
| Phrea | it doesnt matter | 03:45 |
| Phrea | it worked | 03:45 |
| Phrea | :) | 03:45 |
| Appl6 | Phrea: You only needed to run _one_ of the commands. One of the commands did _not_ require you to reboot. The post clearly explains that you only needed one of them. | 03:45 |
| Phrea | thanks :) | 03:45 |
| Chesamo | Phrea: Yes, and I asked if rebooting was a problem... | 03:45 |
| Phrea | Appl6: one of 1 | 03:46 |
| Phrea | one of 2 that is | 03:46 |
| Phrea | 2 were posted | 03:46 |
| Phrea | the second one was reccommended to me | 03:46 |
| Phrea | it worked, but it did reboot my system | 03:46 |
| Phrea | it's ok, it worked, it's not a server :) | 03:46 |
| Phrea | still, be a bit more careful | 03:46 |
| Appl6 | Phrea: I did not recommend the second one, and your blaming me for that is ridiculous. | 03:47 |
| Chesamo | Appl6: I did. | 03:47 |
| Phrea | ^ :) | 03:47 |
| Phrea | I thought he said that it only meant that Nautilus would reboot | 03:47 |
| Phrea | iso the complete system | 03:47 |
| Chesamo | Appl6, Phrea: In my defense, I asked if there was a specific _problem_ with rebooting | 03:47 |
| Phrea | still, it worked | 03:47 |
| Phrea | Chesamo: I missed that | 03:48 |
| Chesamo | Phrea: You only use the term "reboot" with system-level restart... | 03:48 |
| Phrea | and there was NO problem rebooting | 03:48 |
| Phrea | it's not a server :) | 03:48 |
| Appl6 | Phrea: The problem is with your ludicrous accusations, not whether you were mildly inconvenienced by having to reboot your computer. | 03:49 |
| Phrea | I'm too lazy to dive into logs, so, I'll take it as is :) | 03:49 |
| Phrea | I'm sorry | 03:50 |
| Phrea | thanks for helping me out | 03:50 |
| Chesamo | Appl6, Phrea: I'm willing to let dead dogs lie, personally | 03:50 |
| Appl6 | (10:34:28 PM) Phrea: then I have to reboot... :x | 03:50 |
| Appl6 | (10:34:34 PM) Phrea: I hate rebooting | 03:50 |
| Appl6 | (10:34:58 PM) Appl6: Phrea: And no, you just have to restart nautilus. | 03:50 |
| Phrea | it's all ok | 03:50 |
| Appl6 | Phrea: If any part of that was unclear, I'm afraid I cannot help you. | 03:51 |
| Phrea | Appl6: it was unclear as in that I thought you said that I only needed to restart nautilus | 03:51 |
| Phrea | maybe I'm not really familiar with all this computer talk then eh | 03:52 |
| Phrea | also the first AND last time that I take advice from people I dont know | 03:53 |
| Phrea | mind you it DID work, thanks for that | 03:53 |
| * Chesamo blinks | 03:53 | |
| Phrea | you should just be a bit more clear, this is a beginners channel | 03:54 |
| Chesamo | We asked questions, and generally expect answers | 03:54 |
| Chesamo | Listen, why are you dragging this out> | 03:54 |
| Phrea | I have no idea | 03:54 |
| Phrea | well, I was a bit pissed | 03:54 |
| Phrea | but that has passed | 03:55 |
| Phrea | it worked | 03:55 |
| Phrea | and I'm happy | 03:55 |
| Phrea | what caused this behaviour? | 03:55 |
| Chesamo | Misconfiguration of GCONF | 03:55 |
| Phrea | this is a clean Lucid install | 03:55 |
| Chesamo | It happens sometimes. | 03:55 |
| Phrea | Chesamo: aha | 03:55 |
| Phrea | so nothing I did? | 03:55 |
| Chesamo | Files get corrupt off the CD, things get accidentally run | 03:56 |
| Chesamo | yeah. | 03:56 |
| Phrea | aha | 03:56 |
| Phrea | ok | 03:56 |
| Phrea | never knew things could get corrupted from cd to pc :o | 03:56 |
| Phrea | I checked the iso against the md5, etc | 03:57 |
| Chesamo | Just happens sometimes. | 03:57 |
| * Chesamo shrugs | 03:57 | |
| Phrea | ok :) | 03:57 |
| Phrea | I believe you :) | 03:57 |
| Phrea | sorry that I was a bit pissed | 03:57 |
| * Phrea licks Chesamo and Appl6 :P | 04:00 | |
| * Chesamo meeps | 04:01 | |
| * Chesamo blinks and looks at her hands. "FurNet? Why have you invaded my behavior on FreeNode?" | 04:01 | |
| Phrea | ah, her no less, well, then I'm extra sorry | 04:02 |
| Phrea | [Snow - Informer] | 04:02 |
| * Chesamo wonders what the words inside the braces mean. | 04:02 | |
| Phrea | oh, sorry, it's a song in this case :) | 04:03 |
| Phrea | I use brackets iso () | 04:03 |
| Chesamo | Oh dear. A Now Playing script? I don't think we can be friends anymore. | 04:03 |
| Phrea | it's easier | 04:03 |
| Phrea | it's NOT a script | 04:03 |
| Phrea | I type that by hand, and hardly ever do | 04:03 |
| Phrea | but I like this song, so I thought I'd post it :) | 04:03 |
| Phrea | I HATE scripts of any kind | 04:04 |
| Phrea | grrrrr | 04:04 |
| Phrea | I ban people for using scripts :D | 04:04 |
| Phrea | gheh | 04:04 |
| Phrea | I use a scriptless Xchat | 04:06 |

| Akos | good morning team | 07:06 |
| ddecator | morning Akos | 07:07 |
| tdn | How do I automatically copy files from my CF-card into ~/incoming upon insertion? | 11:57 |
| ibuclaw | tdn, maybe an autorun.sh file in the top directory of the CF_card? | 13:07 |
| ibuclaw | idk ... that may only work for cdrom's | 13:07 |
| ibuclaw | tdn, yep, looks like that works for external storage too | 13:14 |
| ibuclaw | if you open gconf-editor (Press Alt+F2 and type that into the runbox) | 13:14 |
| ibuclaw | browse to: /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount | 13:14 |
| ibuclaw | and ensure it is checked | 13:14 |
| ibuclaw | then close and insert your CF-card | 13:15 |
| ibuclaw | open the folder location of it, and create a file named autorun.sh | 13:15 |
| mrxtian | how do people do the zoom in and out of a window when recording a screen cast is there something with more facilities than recordmydesktop? or is it an X/compbiz feature ? | 13:15 |
| ibuclaw | open it for editting, and put: | 13:15 |
| ibuclaw | #!/bin/sh | 13:15 |
| ibuclaw | followed by the scripting commands you will use to cp the data from one location to another. | 13:16 |
| ibuclaw | save, close, and ensure it is executable | 13:16 |
| ibuclaw | (Right Click -> Properties. Then under the Permissions tab) | 13:17 |
| ibuclaw | then unmount / remove and reinsert the CF-Card reader and it should prompt you that the device has software intended to be automatically started, just press OK to run it. | 13:19 |
| ibuclaw | tdn, ^^ | 13:19 |
| ibuclaw | mrxtian, zoom in/out whilst the screencast is running ? | 13:20 |
| mrxtian | whilst recording | 13:21 |
| ibuclaw | I think recordmydesktop allows you to have a "select area" to record before starting. | 13:21 |
| mrxtian | yes | 13:21 |
| ibuclaw | if you are zooming in and out, sounds like compiz at work. ;) | 13:21 |
| mrxtian | arh | 13:21 |
| mrxtian | tks | 13:22 |
| ibuclaw | mrxtian, look for "Zoom Desktop" as a plugin, and I think it is Super+Mouse scroll to control it | 13:22 |
| ibuclaw | Super == WinKey (for the Unix illiterate ;) | 13:23 |

| Chesamo | JoeK, that's a very subjective question. Graphical, command-line, what? | 16:33 |
| JoeK | graphical that can do e.g. tables easily, but also reveals the Latex code | 16:34 |
