| Fudge | hi guys whats the easiest way to install 4.8 into maverick or lucid? i dont think its in backports yet | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| charlie-tca | Officially, it is not supported at all | 00:27 |
| Fudge | :( im trying to debug thunar with orca to see why its not talking and was suggested to build it from git which ive done but i just get error server already running | 00:28 |
| charlie-tca | We can't add it in backports until Xubuntu 11.04 releases, since backports is things in the stable release, being added to previous releases | 00:28 |
| charlie-tca | There is a ppa, but I don't think it was kept up to date | 00:29 |
| charlie-tca | What server is orca looking at? Is that the sound server, by chance? | 00:30 |
| Fudge | no orca isnt a factor yet, its when i run startx -- :1 vt12 | 00:33 |
| Fudge | /usr/local/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :1 | 00:33 |
| charlie-tca | ah, I see | 00:34 |
| Fudge | everything built right that i grabbed from git and i also have xfce 4.6.2 installed, should i remove that? | 00:34 |
| charlie-tca | I don't think there is any way to put xfce4.8 into lucid and maverick yet without compiling it | 00:34 |
| charlie-tca | I don't honestly know. | 00:35 |
| * Fudge nods, i have cmpiled it from git | 00:36 | |
| drc | http://www.webupd8.org/2011/01/xfce-48-ubuntu-1004-and-1010-ppas.html was this ppa you were taling about? | 00:36 |
| charlie-tca | yes, | 00:36 |
| drc | If so, it worked as of a month ago. | 00:36 |
| charlie-tca | as far as I know, they were not kept up to day. They are Xfce 4.8.0 | 00:37 |
| Fudge | to current release? | 00:37 |
| charlie-tca | There were both created by non-xubuntu, non-xfce folks for 4.8 in maverick and lucid | 00:38 |
| Fudge | ya | 00:42 |
| Fudge | i grabbed the source | 00:44 |
| Fudge | well i think i did, xfce-4.8.tar.bz2 | 00:45 |
| charlie-tca | Fudge: you probably know better than I do, but do you have to rm the old session in ~/.config/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml ? | 00:46 |
| charlie-tca | Won't that let the server start? | 00:46 |
| Fudge | no idea mate, i dont know better than you :D | 00:46 |
| charlie-tca | That looks right to me for the source | 00:46 |
| charlie-tca | I am not sure, but I think you can remove xfwm4-session.xml there to start the server again. | 00:47 |
| charlie-tca | Got to go eat now. Good luck | 00:48 |
| Fudge | thanx dude | 00:50 |
| charlie-tca | Wish I could help more with that error. When I got that, I deleted the whole ~/.config and ~/.cache to clear it. Then a reboot worked. | 01:33 |
| charlie-tca | Fudge: check ~/.dmrc and make sure it is owned by you, not root | 01:34 |
| charlie-tca | hm, I done something wrong with xchat and lost the menu | 01:38 |
| drc | f9 | 01:40 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 01:40 |
| charlie-tca | didn't bring it back | 01:40 |
| drc | ctrl f9 ? | 01:41 |
| charlie-tca | windows key+F9 | 01:41 |
| charlie-tca | Thanks | 01:41 |
| charlie-tca | got me in the right direction anyway | 01:42 |
| charlie-tca | Now I am going away for a night | 01:42 |
| drc | funny the menu says ctrl + f9, but only f9 works for me | 01:42 |
| charlie-tca | only one that works here is left-window+F9 | 01:42 |
| drc | Anyway, have a nice night | 01:43 |
| charlie-tca | Okay, take it back. Now F9 is working too | 01:43 |
| charlie-tca | anyway, good night | 01:43 |
| Fudge | :D | 01:45 |

| buff27 | my wireless on my netbook doesn't autoconnect to my home network until I select it, how do i make it connect automatically on bootup? | 10:24 |
| TheSheep | buff27: check the 'connect automatically' checkbox in the 'edit connections' dialog | 10:29 |
| buff27 | is that in Xubuntu? | 10:34 |
| Sysi | yes, right click on the panel applet → edit connections | 10:35 |
| buff27 | oh! I was trying to right click the wifi SSID | 10:37 |
| buff27 | arrr look at that... I love xubuntu | 10:38 |
| buff27 | don't like the direction on ubuntu and gnome/unity | 10:39 |
| buff27 | thanks TheSheep and Sysi | 10:40 |

| Plox | guys, any of you awake? | 18:00 |
| ThinkT510 | i am | 18:00 |
| drc | nope, after story time is naptime | 18:00 |
| Plox | I just installed Xubuntu 11.04 beta 2 | 18:00 |
| Plox | and deja dup | 18:00 |
| Plox | but apparantly, it doesn't save my settings | 18:00 |
| Plox | GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications. | 18:00 |
| Plox | most likely due to this, but I don't quite get how to fix it | 18:01 |
| Plox | I've been googling some, but without many helpfull results | 18:01 |
| drc | 10.10 or 11.04b? | 18:04 |
| Plox | like I said, 11.04b | 18:05 |
| drc | Yeah, my bad, I was googling instead of reading :) | 18:05 |
| drc | and I assume the version of deja dup is 18.1.1-0ubuntu1? | 18:06 |
| Plox | :) | 18:06 |
| Plox | yep | 18:06 |
| drc | Plox: My google-fu is weak today also :( | 18:11 |
| Plox | good it's not just me being a giant retard then :D | 18:11 |
| drc | And I've tried several search criteria... | 18:13 |
| drc | The closest I've come is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/757866 | 18:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 757866 in glib2.0 (Ubuntu) "gsettings uses the 'memory' GSettings backend / settings do not stick?!" [Undecided,New] | 18:13 |
| Plox | yeah, I saw that one to | 18:14 |
| * drc hates having done a google search of <anything> and having links from 2006 show up as the number one match :( | 18:18 | |
| PauseBazinga | Running live Xubuntu 11.04 b2 on a dual monitor desktop. Feels great, but I can't find the option to span/entend the desktop across both monitors instead of clone/mirror them. Any suggestions? | 18:35 |
| TheSheep | !dual | 18:36 |
| PauseBazinga | what's that sheep? | 18:37 |
| PauseBazinga | not dual? | 18:37 |
| TheSheep | !dual monitors | 18:37 |
| ubottu | Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 18:37 |
| PauseBazinga | right | 18:37 |
| PauseBazinga | except...i already have them? | 18:37 |
| TheSheep | that page has some information about different possible setups | 18:37 |
| PauseBazinga | the documentation for Xfce claims that there is an option in the Display dialog | 18:38 |
| PauseBazinga | ok, checking the link | 18:38 |
| PauseBazinga | Mr. Bot ftw | 18:38 |
| TheSheep | first time I hear about such an option | 18:38 |
| TheSheep | maybe in the new soon-t-be-released one | 18:38 |
| PauseBazinga | it's for the recently released 4.8 version of Xfce | 18:39 |
| drc | Question on partitions and reinstalls: If one has a separate / and /home partitions, and does a fresh reinstall (formating / but without formating /home), does the re-install install new configurations in ~, overwriting any changes you made (for example, but not limited to: ~/.config/Thunar/thunarrc) ? | 18:41 |
| TheSheep | PauseBazinga: next xubuntu will have it, in a month | 18:46 |
| TheSheep | drc: the installer shouldn't touch /home | 18:46 |
| TheSheep | drc: but the newly installed thunar might when it is first started | 18:47 |
| PauseBazinga | right, I'm using the most recent (beta 2) and was hoping they'd implemented it already. I guess there's still some trouble getting it ready, I'll see what happens with the final release. Thanks for looking it up for me. | 18:47 |
| TheSheep | !+1 | 18:47 |
| drc | TheSheep: Thank you | 18:47 |
| TheSheep | !ubuntu+1 | 18:47 |
| ubottu | Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04 - Natty is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 | 18:47 |
| TheSheep | PauseBazinga: they might know there | 18:48 |
| PauseBazinga | oh nice, I didn't realize there was a separate unstable channel | 18:48 |
| PauseBazinga | thanks again | 18:48 |
| PauseBazinga | TheSheep: in case you care, I found a work-around on a RandR 1.2 wiki. It's easily done, but only via the command line. This command worked flawlessly to span the desktop across two 20" monitors: xrandr --output DVI-1 --auto --right-of DVI-0 | 19:14 |
| dannyd | hi all, can someone please tell me if i can open a new tab using thunar? | 19:20 |
| drc | dannyd: I can't find a way, and a quick perusal of google doesn't find one. | 19:25 |
| TheSheep | dannyd: you can't, thunar doesn't have tabs, you can open a new window | 19:25 |
| TheSheep | dannyd: you might try pcman if you really absolutely need tabs | 19:26 |
| dannyd | TheSheep: ok thanks, i think im going to try pcman,, | 19:28 |
| dannyd | i like tabs :) | 19:29 |
| Unit193 | Do you mean pcmanfm? | 19:29 |
| dannyd | yes, having just started using linux i am used to nautilus, and was quite happy with xfce, until i found out thunar had no tabs :( | 19:32 |
| Plox | damn | 19:34 |
| Plox | this deja dup bug is annoying me :/ | 19:34 |
| dannyd | apt-get purge thunar\n apt-get autoremove\n <--- will that completely get rid of thunar? | 19:35 |
| Plox | does anyone know why this | 19:36 |
| Plox | GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications. | 19:36 |
| Plox | shows up when Is tart deja dup, and it doesn't save any settings so I can't set up automated backups? | 19:37 |
| Plox | deja dup 18.1.1 | 19:37 |
| Plox | and xubuntu 11.04b | 19:37 |
| dannyd | how do i configure pcmanfm to be the default using xfce-settings? | 19:40 |
| dannyd | I just made a change to the menu.xml file, is there some command i can use to restart the service? | 19:57 |
| dannyd | without having to restart my computer?, can i just log out and log back in? | 20:00 |
| bou | seems i've lost the menu on the top of desktop | 20:11 |
| bou | installed last December on an HP computer | 20:11 |
| bou | only way to access the programs is with the right button | 20:12 |
| bou | found it press Alt+F2 .. and in the box that appears type xfce4-panel | 20:15 |
| inaety | Hi all. I know I can switch among workspaces using ctrl+FN but does anyone know how I can change that? | 20:26 |
| drc | inaety: Change it how? BTW, CTRL+ALT+right/left arrow also works (and wraps around to boot :) | 20:37 |
| inaety | drc, i actually cant get it to wrap | 20:37 |
| inaety | but i figured it out Settings > window manager > keyboard > change desktop. my stupid laptop makes me use an Fn key to access the F keys. so I made it Super>N. works so well | 20:38 |
| drc | inaety: Insert the standard response...works here. | 20:38 |
| inaety | drc, haha its not something im gonna worry over | 20:39 |
| drc | inaety: Also see Window Manager> Advanced> Wrap Workspaces | 20:40 |
| inaety | drc, nothing | 20:41 |
| drc | 10.10 or 11.04b2? May be different, dunno (xfce 4.6 vs 4.8) | 20:42 |
| inaety | ah | 20:43 |
| inaety | 10.10 but unofficially updated to 4.8 | 20:43 |
| drc | I'm running 11.04b2...the xfce 4.8 should be the same (?) | 20:44 |
| inaety | yeah | 20:44 |
| inaety | my guess is that that its something with ubuntu | 20:45 |
| inaety | not xfce | 20:45 |
| inaety | what are you options under Wrap Workspaces | 20:45 |
| drc | bith unchecked | 20:45 |
| drc | both, that is | 20:46 |
| inaety | same | 20:46 |
| inaety | i dunno, im way satisfied with super>N | 20:46 |
| inaety | you should try it if youre not on a mac | 20:47 |
| drc | Check Window Manager Tweaks> workspaces ? | 20:47 |
| drc | I'm satisfied with a mouse click or CA-rt/lft arrow | 20:48 |
| inaety | where is Window Manager Tweaks | 20:48 |
| drc | Settings Manager, between Window Manager and Workspaces | 20:49 |
| inaety | nice find@ | 20:51 |
| inaety | ! | 20:51 |
| inaety | Wrap workspaces when the firstr or last workspace is reached | 20:51 |
| drc | inaety: I have broken this box so many times and in so many ways (and gotten help here) that I know where lots of things are (using them correctly is another matter) | 20:52 |
| inaety | drc, haha man be careful | 20:53 |
| drc | Careful? Moi? | 20:53 |
| drc | Everything in excess...moderation is for monks! | 20:54 |
| inaety | can't argue with that | 20:55 |
| drc | you can, but I'll put you on /ignore | 20:55 |
| drc | ask my wife | 20:55 |
| knome | am i sensing an offtopic discussion? while random chatter is very much encouraged, we have #xubuntu-offtopic for that :) | 20:56 |
| * drc is properly chastised... | 20:57 | |
| rklapp | hello | 21:01 |
| rklapp | I'm trying to work around the Too Many Connections bug when I activate the nvidia drivers. | 21:02 |
| rklapp | I've been told to backup my xorg.conf file, activate the driver, then revert to backup. | 21:03 |
| rklapp | When I look for the file in X11 folder, it's not there until after I activate. | 21:03 |
| rklapp | Any suggestions? TIA | 21:03 |
| Unit193 | It may be in your /home/you/xorg.conf.new | 21:03 |
| rklapp | No, didn't see it there. | 21:04 |
| Unit193 | Sorry, wrong answer | 21:04 |
| Unit193 | You must first do: sudo X -configure if you want an xorg.conf | 21:05 |
| rklapp | I tried sudo nvidia-settings but got a command not found error. | 21:06 |
| rklapp | should I try sudo nvidia-configure instead? | 21:06 |
| Unit193 | nvidia-settings is supposed to come with the nvidia drivers (not nvidia-configure) | 21:11 |
| rklapp | i'm in W7 now so I'm going to switch over and try it. | 21:11 |
| rklapp | The sudo nvidia-configure didn't work either | 21:19 |
