| gnoob | XFCE power manger icon says that my UPS box is fully charged. So it knows it exists. Are there settings for controlling the automatic shutdown but I am not seeing them? | 05:19 |
| lighta | gnoob, do you mean auto shutdown when you battery is full ? | 05:38 |
| gnoob | lighta, auto shutdown when the UPS box is low on battery. | 05:40 |
| Mokura | (10.10) I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to change the login screen theme. Nothing in Session and Startup settings, and apparently gnome-appearance-properties doesn't exist. Although that could be due to user confusion, I've tried googling the problem with little luck. | 05:41 |
| lighta | for me I simply right click on battery then choose preference and set auto shutdown for a lvl of battery | 05:41 |
| lighta | Mokura, are you using Xfce or gnome ? | 05:41 |
| Mokura | xfce | 05:42 |
| Mokura | default w/Xubuntu install. | 05:42 |
| gnoob | lighta, you have a "battery" tab on your power manager preferences? I have "General" "On AC" an "Extended". | 05:42 |
| Mokura | I figured gnome settings things wouldn't exist, but I'm kind of new and I figured I'd try anyway. *shrug* | 05:42 |
| lighta | yes gnoob but for your issue | 05:44 |
| Mokura | I find it odd that the default setup app gives me the ability to change the splash animation, but not the theme or login background. | 05:44 |
| lighta | should you go on batterie | 05:44 |
| lighta | choose critique | 05:44 |
| lighta | then set shutdown | 05:44 |
| lighta | then you can set what a critique lvl on advanced menu | 05:44 |
| lighta | looking where I changed loading screen Mokura | 05:45 |
| lighta | oh the theme like your destock background ? | 05:45 |
| lighta | what are we talking about exactly ? | 05:45 |
| lighta | background or login ? | 05:45 |
| Mokura | preferably both, like changing a theme, but | 05:46 |
| Mokura | login screen BG would be a nice start | 05:46 |
| Mokura | (it's currently the default xubuntu wallpaper, and I already changed my desktop wallpaper.) | 05:47 |
| Mokura | I'm talking about changing the theme for the login, where it asks for user/password/etc. I can change desktop stuff (after I've logged in) just fine. | 05:49 |
| lighta | ok ok Mokura | 05:53 |
| Mokura | Ah, sorry | 05:53 |
| lighta | not a problem I was just remenbering | 05:53 |
| lighta | I think it's on menu, parameter, starting and session | 05:54 |
| lighta | did you check that already ? | 05:54 |
| Mokura | in xfce settings manager? | 05:54 |
| Mokura | where I was looking was: | 05:54 |
| Mokura | Settings -> Xfce Settings Manager -> Session and Startup | 05:55 |
| Mokura | However | 05:55 |
| lighta | same | 05:55 |
| lighta | that for splash ye | 05:55 |
| Mokura | the tabs are General, Splash, Application Autostart, Session, and Advanced | 05:55 |
| lighta | splash would be for loading I think | 05:55 |
| Mokura | Splash is the animation that plays after I type in my password and log in. | 05:55 |
| lighta | now for menu where you put your pass hmm | 05:55 |
| lighta | ye | 05:56 |
| Mokura | And the BG for that. | 05:56 |
| lighta | yes with configure you can set your image | 05:56 |
| lighta | now for your loging menu hmm | 05:57 |
| Mokura | There's no option to set the image on Session and Startup. | 05:57 |
| lighta | configure ? | 05:57 |
| Mokura | Configure? | 05:57 |
| Mokura | Hm | 05:57 |
| lighta | on splash | 05:57 |
| lighta | chose simple | 05:58 |
| lighta | then configure | 05:58 |
| Mokura | ...oh. | 05:58 |
| lighta | use a personal image | 05:58 |
| lighta | yeah, got it ? | 05:58 |
| Mokura | welp don't I feel foolish | 05:58 |
| gnoob | lighta, I think that is my issues I do not have a battery section on power management. | 05:59 |
| Mokura | hm, wait | 05:59 |
| lighta | ohh ! | 05:59 |
| lighta | ah yeah that odd gnoob, | 06:00 |
| Mokura | ...that changes the image used for the splash. | 06:02 |
| Mokura | at the rate I'm going it might be easier just to use gnome, but I'd much prefer xfce. <_> | 06:03 |
| lighta | well I think you can change value in | 06:06 |
| lighta | menu, parameter, parameter editor | 06:06 |
| lighta | just need to found the good option | 06:06 |
| lighta | brb what do I have again | 06:09 |
| Mokura | well bodge. | 06:18 |
| Mokura | I should have just installed Ubuntu at this rate, even though it's irritating how the panels are less configurable | 06:19 |
| gnoob | I had to look up what doge meant. | 06:19 |
| gnoob | bodge | 06:19 |
| Mokura | I have no idea if it means anything | 06:20 |
| Mokura | I just used it as a term of exasperation. | 06:20 |
| gnoob | 1. Informal to make a mess of; botch | 06:20 |
| gnoob | 2. Austral informal to make or adjust in a false or clumsy way I bodged the figures | 06:20 |
| Mokura | ahaha | 06:20 |
| Mokura | I wasn't too far off the mark then | 06:20 |
| gnoob | nope | 06:21 |
| Mokura | oh well, at least reinstallations are super easy in VMs | 06:23 |
| Mokura | thanks for trying | 06:23 |
| Mokura | -hm | 06:24 |
| Mokura | what annoys me is, apparently this login BG thing (GDM?) was possible | 06:25 |
| Mokura | http://softsolder.com/2009/04/02/changing-the-xubuntu-8-10-gdm-login-splash-screen/ | 06:25 |
| Mokura | but /usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu apparently doesn't exist in 10.10 | 06:25 |
| gnoob | Yeah, I am not sure what login manger they use. | 06:31 |
| moetunes | it is gdm afaik | 06:31 |
| Mokura | yes but | 06:35 |
| Mokura | I'm going nuts just trying to change the theme for it in xubuntu 10.10 | 06:35 |
| Mokura | is it even possible to do it in an easy way? | 06:35 |
| Mokura | all I can easily change is the splash image | 06:35 |
| Mokura | which is what appears when you log in | 06:36 |
| gnoob | can you install whatever tool you used in gnome> | 06:38 |
| Mokura | I never started with gnome. | 06:40 |
| Mokura | I started with Xubuntu. | 06:40 |
| gnoob | http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/01/how-to-change-gdmlogin-screen.html | 06:40 |
| Mokura | ahahaha | 06:41 |
| Mokura | I just found a different article about that | 06:41 |
| Mokura | gonna give it a go | 06:41 |
| gnoob | if that works let me know. I would change mine. | 06:41 |
| * Mokura installed gnome-core earlier, didn't work, too much of a pain to try to hunt down all the dependencies since apparently synaptic won't | 06:41 | |
| Mokura | er, well | 06:42 |
| Mokura | all the crap that came WITH gnome-core. hurr. | 06:42 |
| Mokura | aaaaaand success | 06:47 |
| Mokura | thank fuzz | 06:47 |
| Mokura | (and gnoob too) | 06:47 |
| Mokura | it doesn't change the login window theme but really | 06:49 |
| Mokura | all I really wanted was the BG and the logo | 06:49 |
| Mokura | now I'm gonna reinstall Xubuntu since I actually know what I am doing now | 06:50 |
| Mokura | thanks for the help! | 06:50 |
| gnoob | I agree with the background. I will probably change mine. | 06:50 |
