=== pedro_ is now known as pedro3005 [01:38] I'm having a desktop problem in xubuntu 9.10... panels have all disappeared... [02:33] Hey folks. New Ubuntu sci-fi game under development for those interested: https://www.avaneya.com === bgs100 is now known as bgs000 === smeag0l is now known as The67terminator [03:29] 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] === The67terminator is now known as smeag0l [03:30] sorry for the big picture, I've got dualscreen [03:31] Come again, Phrea? That looks like the normal menu to me. [03:31] it should be like the applications menu etc [03:32] and Nautilus looks rediculously outdated [03:32] it does NOT look like this on my other box [03:32] at all [03:32] The Applications menu doesn't come up on right-click in GNOME. [03:32] Phrea: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9307380 [03:33] Chesamo: talking about different things here, see screenshot [03:33] Appl6: having a look :) [03:34] I'm not sure about this... [03:34] should I blindly c/p those commands? [03:34] Yes [03:34] Phrea: They won't do any damage [03:35] you didnt even understand what I meant [03:35] phrea: But only do one or the other. I reccomend the second one. [03:35] I'm not sure... [03:35] Phrea: It's explained in the post ;-) [03:35] then I have to reboot... :x [03:35] Phrea: I think he did. To the point, you can mv that directory out of the way if rm makes you uncomfortable. [03:35] I hate rebooting [03:36] Phrea: Why? The boot time on Ubuntu is negligible, if anything [03:36] Phrea: And no, you just have to restart nautilus. [03:36] ok... [03:36] if something goes wrong, you dudes are to blame ! [03:36] Phrea: We live with that risk every day ;-) [03:40] thank you so much... :x [03:40] it DID reboot my wole damn computer [03:41] you can imagine how happy I was about that... [03:41] * Chesamo blinks [03:42] !language [03:42] Shoot. Guess I don't know how to trigger that after all. [03:42] s/damn/darn [03:42] Chesamo: you need voice [03:42] !language | Phrea [03:42] Phrea: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:42] Durn. [03:42] it rebooted my system [03:42] Chesamo: you have to be voiced [03:42] I asked about that [03:42] Yeah, I heard :P [03:43] Phrea: [22:36] Phrea: And no, you just have to restart nautilus. [03:43] I didnt get the chance did I [03:43] Phrea: Has the problem been resolved? [03:43] as soon as I entered that command, my computer rebooted [03:43] Appl6: yes [03:43] Phrea: You mean the "reboot" command? It tends to do that. [03:43] I was going to say that [03:43] Phrea: Yeah, that's why it's generally advisable to read the entire post [03:43] Appl6: I asked about it [03:44] oh well, it solved the 'problem' [03:44] but please, be more careful next time [03:44] ! [03:44] read the commands, know what they do [03:44] !! [03:44] Phrea: We did and do. We gave you the simplest command and did something before I had time to react :/ [03:45] it did however work :) [03:45] I asked about the reboot command [03:45] it doesnt matter [03:45] it worked [03:45] :) [03:45] 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] thanks :) [03:45] Phrea: Yes, and I asked if rebooting was a problem... [03:46] Appl6: one of 1 [03:46] one of 2 that is [03:46] 2 were posted [03:46] the second one was reccommended to me [03:46] it worked, but it did reboot my system [03:46] it's ok, it worked, it's not a server :) [03:46] still, be a bit more careful [03:47] Phrea: I did not recommend the second one, and your blaming me for that is ridiculous. [03:47] Appl6: I did. [03:47] ^ :) [03:47] I thought he said that it only meant that Nautilus would reboot [03:47] iso the complete system [03:47] Appl6, Phrea: In my defense, I asked if there was a specific _problem_ with rebooting [03:47] still, it worked [03:48] Chesamo: I missed that [03:48] Phrea: You only use the term "reboot" with system-level restart... [03:48] and there was NO problem rebooting [03:48] it's not a server :) [03:49] Phrea: The problem is with your ludicrous accusations, not whether you were mildly inconvenienced by having to reboot your computer. [03:49] I'm too lazy to dive into logs, so, I'll take it as is :) [03:50] I'm sorry [03:50] thanks for helping me out [03:50] Appl6, Phrea: I'm willing to let dead dogs lie, personally [03:50] (10:34:28 PM) Phrea: then I have to reboot... :x [03:50] (10:34:34 PM) Phrea: I hate rebooting [03:50] (10:34:58 PM) Appl6: Phrea: And no, you just have to restart nautilus. [03:50] it's all ok [03:51] Phrea: If any part of that was unclear, I'm afraid I cannot help you. [03:51] Appl6: it was unclear as in that I thought you said that I only needed to restart nautilus [03:52] maybe I'm not really familiar with all this computer talk then eh [03:53] also the first AND last time that I take advice from people I dont know [03:53] mind you it DID work, thanks for that [03:53] * Chesamo blinks [03:54] you should just be a bit more clear, this is a beginners channel [03:54] We asked questions, and generally expect answers [03:54] Listen, why are you dragging this out> [03:54] I have no idea [03:54] well, I was a bit pissed [03:55] but that has passed [03:55] it worked [03:55] and I'm happy [03:55] what caused this behaviour? [03:55] Misconfiguration of GCONF [03:55] this is a clean Lucid install [03:55] It happens sometimes. [03:55] Chesamo: aha [03:55] so nothing I did? [03:56] Files get corrupt off the CD, things get accidentally run [03:56] yeah. [03:56] aha [03:56] ok [03:56] never knew things could get corrupted from cd to pc :o [03:57] I checked the iso against the md5, etc [03:57] Just happens sometimes. [03:57] * Chesamo shrugs [03:57] ok :) [03:57] I believe you :) [03:57] sorry that I was a bit pissed [04:00] * Phrea licks Chesamo and Appl6 :P [04:01] * Chesamo meeps [04:01] * Chesamo blinks and looks at her hands. "FurNet? Why have you invaded my behavior on FreeNode?" [04:02] ah, her no less, well, then I'm extra sorry [04:02] [Snow - Informer] [04:02] * Chesamo wonders what the words inside the braces mean. [04:03] oh, sorry, it's a song in this case :) [04:03] I use brackets iso () [04:03] Oh dear. A Now Playing script? I don't think we can be friends anymore. [04:03] it's easier [04:03] it's NOT a script [04:03] I type that by hand, and hardly ever do [04:03] but I like this song, so I thought I'd post it :) [04:04] I HATE scripts of any kind [04:04] grrrrr [04:04] I ban people for using scripts :D [04:04] gheh [04:06] I use a scriptless Xchat === PabloRubianes_ is now known as PabloRubianes [07:06] good morning team [07:07] morning Akos [11:57] How do I automatically copy files from my CF-card into ~/incoming upon insertion? [13:07] tdn, maybe an autorun.sh file in the top directory of the CF_card? [13:07] idk ... that may only work for cdrom's [13:14] tdn, yep, looks like that works for external storage too [13:14] if you open gconf-editor (Press Alt+F2 and type that into the runbox) [13:14] browse to: /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount [13:14] and ensure it is checked [13:15] then close and insert your CF-card [13:15] open the folder location of it, and create a file named autorun.sh [13:15] 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] open it for editting, and put: [13:15] #!/bin/sh [13:16] followed by the scripting commands you will use to cp the data from one location to another. [13:16] save, close, and ensure it is executable [13:17] (Right Click -> Properties. Then under the Permissions tab) [13:19] 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] tdn, ^^ [13:20] mrxtian, zoom in/out whilst the screencast is running ? [13:21] whilst recording [13:21] I think recordmydesktop allows you to have a "select area" to record before starting. [13:21] yes [13:21] if you are zooming in and out, sounds like compiz at work. ;) [13:21] arh [13:22] tks [13:22] mrxtian, look for "Zoom Desktop" as a plugin, and I think it is Super+Mouse scroll to control it [13:23] Super == WinKey (for the Unix illiterate ;) === ZachK_ is now known as Guest14775 [13:56] Not every keyboard has a windows key on it.... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1037731 === Guest14775 is now known as ZachK_ [13:59] welcome bilalakhtar [14:00] !welcome | ZachK_ [14:00] huh? where is ubottu?

[16:33] JoeK, that's a very subjective question. Graphical, command-line, what? [16:34] graphical that can do e.g. tables easily, but also reveals the Latex code [16:35] JoeK: Something like gummi? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/gummi-simple-latex-editor-written-in-pythongtk.html [16:35] sounds good, I will try it, thx === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler === running_rabbit07 is now known as uRock === muzha is now known as paultag === muzha is now known as paultag [21:29] CONGRATS PabloRubianes!!!!!!! === bgs000 is now known as bgs100 [21:50] * drubin missed something [21:50] a [21:50] a
