[01:38] <haywire> I'm having a desktop problem in xubuntu 9.10... panels have all disappeared...
[02:33] <Kip> Hey folks. New Ubuntu sci-fi game under development for those interested: https://www.avaneya.com
[03:29] <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]
[03:30] <Phrea> sorry for the big picture, I've got dualscreen
[03:31] <Chesamo> Come again, Phrea? That looks like the normal menu to me.
[03:31] <Phrea> it should be like the applications menu etc
[03:32] <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 and Nautilus looks rediculously outdated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
[03:33] <Phrea> Chesamo: talking about different things here, see screenshot
[03:33] <Phrea> Appl6: having a look :)
[03:34] <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
[03:35] <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
[03:36] <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 ;-)
[03:40] <Phrea> thank you so much... :x
[03:40] <Phrea> it DID reboot my wole damn computer
[03:41] <Phrea> you can imagine how happy I was about that...
[03:41]  * Chesamo blinks
[03:42] <Chesamo> !language
[03:42] <Chesamo> Shoot. Guess I don't know how to trigger that after all.
[03:42] <Phrea> s/damn/darn
[03:42] <ddecator> Chesamo: you need voice
[03:42] <ZachK_> !language | Phrea
[03:42] <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
[03:43] <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
[03:44] <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 :/
[03:45] <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...
[03:46] <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
[03:47] <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
[03:48] <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 :)
[03:49] <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 :)
[03:50] <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
[03:51] <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
[03:52] <Phrea> maybe I'm not really familiar with all this computer talk then eh
[03:53] <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
[03:54] <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
[03:55] <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?
[03:56] <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
[03:57] <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
[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] <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.
[04:03] <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 :)
[04:04] <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
[04:06] <Phrea> I use a scriptless Xchat
[07:06] <Akos> good morning team
[07:07] <ddecator> morning Akos
[11:57] <tdn> How do I automatically copy files from my CF-card into ~/incoming upon insertion?
[13:07] <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
[13:14] <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
[13:15] <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
[13:16] <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
[13:17] <ibuclaw> (Right Click -> Properties. Then under the Permissions tab)
[13:19] <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, ^^
[13:20] <ibuclaw> mrxtian, zoom in/out whilst the screencast is running ?
[13:21] <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
[13:22] <mrxtian> tks
[13:22] <ibuclaw> mrxtian, look for "Zoom Desktop" as a plugin, and I think it is Super+Mouse scroll to control it
[13:23] <ibuclaw> Super == WinKey (for the Unix illiterate ;)

[14:31] <Lady_Madonna> Hey CK
[16:31] <JoeK> Hi, what is the best Latex editor?
[16:33] <Chesamo> JoeK, that's a very subjective question. Graphical, command-line, what?
[16:34] <JoeK> graphical that can do e.g. tables easily, but also reveals the Latex code
[16:35] <Chesamo> JoeK: Something like gummi? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/gummi-simple-latex-editor-written-in-pythongtk.html
[16:35] <JoeK> sounds good, I will try it, thx
