| Mahmoud | charlie-tca: then how does the latest version organize the menu? | 01:27 |
|---|---|---|
| charlie-tca | complies with freedesktop.org standards now | 01:37 |
| charlie-tca | looks to me like it is all in /etc/xdg/menus | 01:42 |
| Mahmoud | yeah, lots of files | 01:48 |
| Mahmoud | charlie-tca: the actual thing that I had to change was in /usr/share/applications dir | 01:48 |
| Mahmoud | i wanted to place thunderbird under Office | 01:49 |
| charlie-tca | hmm, those are the .desktop files used to build the menu | 01:49 |
| Mahmoud | yeah | 01:49 |
| Mahmoud | how does xfce build the menu so rapidly? | 01:49 |
| Mahmoud | does it cache? | 01:49 |
| Mahmoud | I didn't refresh anything myself. I just edited a file, and boom menu modified | 01:49 |
| charlie-tca | Normal method to change them is to copy to /home/USER/.local/applications and change it | 01:50 |
| jrmy | where can i get a list of applications and such that are preinstalled with xubuntu? | 03:53 |
| jrmy | on top of that how do i delete all the stuff that came with ubuntu so i just have xubuntu? | 04:02 |
| Balsaq | i booted up my 10.04 computer and the panels are gone hehe? | 07:22 |
| Balsaq | what is the fix for that one? | 07:22 |
| Balsaq | oh i just googled it and found it, hope it works...i just installed this a week or so ago and it was running fine until todats update. | 07:28 |
| jrmy | cool | 07:35 |
| jrmy | i had a prob with my gnome panels with ubuntu 10.04 | 07:35 |
| jrmy | eventually fixed it with a reinstallation of the desktop | 07:36 |
| Balsaq | i just fixed it but everytime i log on the problem is back? | 07:55 |
| Balsaq | is their a permanent fix? | 07:56 |
| Sysi | panels should be permanent.. | 07:56 |
| Balsaq | i iknow but its not | 07:57 |
| Balsaq | tried 3 times..the fix works, until i turn it back on | 07:57 |
| Balsaq | is there more than one fix? | 07:58 |
| Balsaq | gotta feelin im screwed | 07:58 |
| Sysi | try to runt that command on terminal | 07:59 |
| Balsaq | i ran it in terminal it worked but it comes back | 08:00 |
| Balsaq | somone in ubuntu gave me a slightly differnet command ill run downstairs and try it | 08:01 |
| Balsaq | is there something special i have to do to save these changes i have made...because both command i have used work...until i turn on and power back on? | 08:08 |
| Balsaq | is there a special way i have to leave terminal when i am done to keep the commands in effect? | 08:08 |
| Balsaq | gotta a funny feeling im gonna have to reinstall | 08:09 |
| Sysi | use alt+f2 | 08:10 |
| Balsaq | yes i did that | 08:10 |
| Balsaq | do u mean use alt f2 when i am done to get out of terminal? | 08:10 |
| Sysi | alt+f2 keeps things running without terminal open | 08:11 |
| Sysi | you maybe could add panels to start on session | 08:12 |
| Sysi | settings → sessions&startup | 08:12 |
| Balsaq | tthis seems rather odd | 08:13 |
| Balsaq | this OS has been out 5 months you would think thay would have fixed this | 08:14 |
| Sysi | i've seen panels disappearing since hardy.. | 08:16 |
| Balsaq | i have heard many ppl talk about it but i have never heard of the fix not working | 08:21 |
| Balsaq | hmm maybe if i just install a custome desktop it will fix it? | 08:28 |
| Balsaq | i see an article on AWN | 08:29 |
| Balsaq | looks like a nice desktop | 08:29 |
| Balsaq | just seems like i should be able to make the change in terminal and then save it | 08:30 |
| Balsaq | i'd like to report a new way to fix the disappearing panels | 09:57 |
| Balsaq | the terminal commands i was given here and in the ubuntu channel were both different. they both worked until i logged out. then the problem came back. this happened 3-4 times and it never fixed it permanently. so i finally used the command 1 lat time and this time i added a couple items to the panels. that fixed it...adding little gadgets to the panels? | 09:59 |
| Balsaq | i can't say i am happy abut that | 10:00 |
| Balsaq | makes no sence | 10:00 |
| knome | Balsaq, if the panel was not launched when you logged in, it's about your saved session and panel not being there | 10:06 |
| Balsaq | hmmm i didnt save any session or i just dont know what that means exactly | 10:07 |
| Balsaq | but never did i ever remove any panels | 10:07 |
| knome | Balsaq, when you log out, you'll have a check box to ask whether you want to save the session | 10:07 |
| Balsaq | or save it like that | 10:07 |
| Balsaq | ok well i never check a box ever | 10:08 |
| Balsaq | i simply turn it off | 10:08 |
| Balsaq | i accepted 5-6 updates and i turned the computer off after the updates like i always do and then it happened | 10:08 |
| knome | Balsaq, that's checked by default. AND, if the checkbox was checked the last time on a session where the panel was crashed... then you'll keep getting that session | 10:08 |
| Balsaq | well as i say there was never a seeion where the p[anel crashed | 10:09 |
| Balsaq | session* | 10:09 |
| Balsaq | everytime i used it the panels were always there | 10:09 |
| Balsaq | so i dont see how i saved a session where they crashed | 10:09 |
| knome | anyway, i have to | 10:09 |
| Balsaq | i never have to check off anything | 10:10 |
| knome | ... go | 10:10 |
| knome | :P | 10:10 |
| Balsaq | i just click on the lil power button and it asks me if i want to shut down ...and i do. | 10:10 |
| knome | maybe ask in #xubuntu-devel | 10:10 |
| Balsaq | it happened after an update...immediatel y after the update. | 10:11 |
| Balsaq | and now i had to add lil gadgets tothe panels to make the problem go away | 10:11 |
| Balsaq | but i really want to fix it the right way | 10:11 |
| Balsaq | i feel like i have a corrupted OS now | 10:12 |
| Balsaq | brb... | 10:14 |

Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. | 17:54 |
