| roasted_ | how can I manually move items in the taskbar? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| roasted_ | open windows that is | 00:00 |
| TheSheep | no idea, I don't use the taskbar | 00:03 |
| TheSheep | perhaps you can't | 00:03 |
| roasted_ | sigh | 00:05 |
| roasted_ | what do you use, a dock? | 00:05 |
| TheSheep | no, I just have lots of workspaces and a large workspace switcher | 00:06 |
| TheSheep | and when I need to find a window by name, I middle-click on the desktop | 00:06 |
| roasted_ | I see | 00:06 |
| roasted_ | I'll definitely use a taskbar | 00:07 |
| roasted_ | we're contemplating ubuntu with xfce | 00:07 |
| roasted_ | in replacement of windows at work | 00:07 |
| roasted_ | I wouldn't want to drop the taskbar. they'd crap themselves :P | 00:07 |
| TheSheep | if it's for users others than you, perhaps you shouldn't customize it too much | 00:07 |
| TheSheep | it adds a lot of work later on | 00:08 |
| roasted_ | I'm moving the bar to the bottom and making it a bit larger in size | 00:08 |
| roasted_ | and adding some quick launch icons | 00:08 |
| roasted_ | that's about it | 00:08 |
| roasted_ | it's for a school district | 00:08 |
| roasted_ | I work in IT at one | 00:08 |
| TheSheep | we did at at our university, and then the students came and complained that they installed ubuntu at home but it didn't look like the ones in the labs | 00:08 |
| TheSheep | it's much better if they can just install it and have it look the same | 00:09 |
| roasted_ | I'm not worried about that. It's not like I'd be doing any massive changes. | 00:09 |
| TheSheep | even if it's different than windows | 00:09 |
| TheSheep | btw, have you seen lubuntu? | 00:09 |
| roasted_ | yes | 00:09 |
| roasted_ | I don't feel as though it's mature enough to deploy to 1,500 systems :P | 00:10 |
| roasted_ | that I have to support | 00:10 |
| roasted_ | Ubuntu was a sure-fire hit, but Unity and GNome Shell are too new to deploy as well | 00:10 |
| roasted_ | XFCE is rock solid and simple. | 00:10 |
| TheSheep | well, I did have some minor hiccups in Natty | 00:10 |
| roasted_ | where at? | 00:10 |
| TheSheep | making chromium the default browser, long delay in the 'create document' menu, renamed items in the apps menu that I had to remove again | 00:12 |
| roasted_ | I had the same issue with chromium | 00:12 |
| roasted_ | but it might be fixed | 00:12 |
| roasted_ | as I just set chromium to be my default on this laptop | 00:12 |
| TheSheep | oh, and thunar is ignoring my icon theme and displaying folder icons from the gnome icon theme | 00:12 |
| roasted_ | and I'm on 11.04 with ubuntu and xfce | 00:12 |
| TheSheep | roasted_: I found how to change it | 00:12 |
| duende | anybody have problems to play video in 11.04 ??? not are codecs restart X whent play video | 00:12 |
| duende | ???? | 00:12 |
| TheSheep | roasted_: you have to edit /usr/share/defaults.list | 00:12 |
| einseeinai | guys, compiz ccsm and awn r gonna work ok in 11.04, right? i'm gonna install now | 00:13 |
| TheSheep | !r | einseeinai | 00:13 |

| TheSheep | duende: works fine, I had to install xubuntu-restricted-extras though | 00:14 |
| TheSheep | einseeinai: they will work if your graphics card supports them | 00:14 |
| TheSheep | einseeinai: but you won't have much left from xubuntu | 00:14 |
| einseeinai | TheSheep, thanks, i mean won't they conflict with xfce native compositing? | 00:15 |
| duende | <TheSheep> I too but the problem continue, and tvtime also restart X when I clic it | 00:16 |
| TheSheep | einseeinai: as soon as you run compiz, there is no xfce native compositing | 00:16 |
| TheSheep | einseeinai: because compiz replaces xfwm | 00:16 |
| TheSheep | duende: anything relevant in your ~/.xsessionerrors file? | 00:16 |
| duende | <TheSheep> yes there are much things :-/ | 00:18 |
| einseeinai | TheSheep, thx a lot -) *gone to install* | 00:18 |
| EgotisticalElf | on the install process, does it do anything terribly long and UI blocking during the "Installing system" step? | 01:09 |
| EgotisticalElf | mine has been there for some time and i clicked the expand button to show the console output and it froze the UI | 01:09 |
| Soupermanito | not really, it depends on your system tho | 01:11 |
| EgotisticalElf | it's a p3-650 w/ 512mb memory | 01:12 |
| EgotisticalElf | fairly old, but i heard it'd still work fine | 01:12 |
| Soupermanito | indeed it should | 01:13 |

| xubuntu405 | hello, guys, how could i switch off launcher panel? | 01:51 |
| drc | Do you mean the suto-hiding panel at the bottom of the screen? | 01:53 |
| xubuntu405 | yup, exactly | 01:54 |
| drc | Right mouse-click on the top panel> Panel> Panel Preferences...Select Panel 2 in the top (panel 1 shows), then click on the "slashed circle" This DELETES the panel and you cannot get it back, so be sure this is what you want to do. | 01:56 |

| roasted_ | how do I install xfce themes? Some I install work, some don't. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. | 02:06 |
| roasted_ | I just drop them in .themes | 02:06 |
| xubuntu405 | guys, is there no ubuntu one app in xubuntu? | 02:09 |
| drc | xubuntu405: in the software center | 02:10 |
| roasted_ | how do I install new window managers? | 02:11 |
| xubuntu405 | drc, thanks again, got one more question - i tried ubuntu 11.04 in live cd mode and there my bluetooth was functioning. here, in xubuntu - it's not. any way to fix it? | 02:13 |
| drc | xubuntu405: Not idea...I do not use bluetooth. | 02:14 |
| xubuntu405 | roasted_ open up synaptic, type name of needed wm, there must be metapackage, which depends on all apps of the wm. it's called kubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop, etc. | 02:14 |
| roasted_ | xubuntu405, uh... | 02:14 |
| roasted_ | I meant like... a theme | 02:14 |
| roasted_ | the border of the windows with a theme | 02:14 |
| xubuntu405 | roasted_, ah. well, just search it in software center or xfce-looks | 02:15 |
| roasted_ | I am | 02:15 |
| roasted_ | but | 02:15 |
| roasted_ | half of the ones I install wont work | 02:15 |
| xubuntu405 | drc, ok. thanks anyway. -) | 02:16 |
| drc | roasted_: Things are slow here tonight, you might ask in #xfce also (I have <no> idea on how xfce treats Themes/Appearence and Window Managers except that its way different than GNOME, so I can't help) | 02:18 |
| xubuntu405 | drc, is it possible to make "home", "trash" not shown on desktop? | 02:21 |
| drc | xubuntu405: Menu>Settings>Settings Manager>Desktop>Icons | 02:22 |
| xubuntu405 | O:-) thx. | 02:23 |
| EgotisticalElf | finally, restarted the install and it got through it that time. no changes in hardware either | 02:32 |
| Raggs | hi Elf | 02:33 |
| EgotisticalElf | now i have a console screen, last thing is "Stopping userspace bootsplash [OK]" followed by a blank line with an OK on the far right | 02:34 |
| EgotisticalElf | automatic crash report generation failed to start a few lines prior | 02:35 |
| xubuntu405 | drc, is it ok to install gnome apps like gedit? won't it brake anything? | 02:35 |
| drc | xubuntu405: It depends on the dependecies that the app has, but generally it's not a problem. | 02:36 |
| xubuntu405 | drc, cool! i just wanted to install gedit and nautilus, cause i'm used to them )) | 02:37 |
| drc | xubuntu405: In fact, I delete most <xfce> apps (mousepad, parole, gmusicbrowser, etc) and replace them (gedit, rhythmbox, vlc, etc). | 02:37 |
| drc | xubuntu405: Nautilus is one that I have heard of problems with | 02:37 |
| drc | You might want to to research that one (because it controls the desktop) | 02:37 |
| xubuntu405 | drc, thanks for warning. i also had a strange feeling that nautilus might be a prob. | 02:38 |
| xubuntu405 | btw, 11.04's ubuntu one is really awesome | 02:39 |
| EgotisticalElf | well, the GUI failed to launch, but ctrl+alt+f1 kicked me to console | 02:46 |

| TheSheep | EgotisticalElf: why are you building your own drivers? just install the ones provided from the repositories | 14:18 |
| TheSheep | EgotisticalElf: they are already build and tested | 14:18 |
| EgotisticalElf | because the repo doesn't contain a driver for a TNT2 | 14:19 |

| Need4Help | Need help, i'm using ubuntu on a usb stick and i restart and now there's a windows requesting for authentication...(says: automatic logon / other) i have not set anypassword... in fact the only change i made was install xchat, chromiun, vlc and rar that was all... can someone help me out | 17:02 |
| genshooter | doyle are you using one of the preset appearance styles? | 17:07 |
| Doyle | genshooter: it's there with any theme, but doesn't mess up the look of the defauls | 17:13 |
| Doyle | defaults8 | 17:13 |
| genshooter | doyle: im thinking its in the Settings Editor somewhere, I'm looking for it myself no luck so far | 17:14 |
| Doyle | genshooter: I've been poking around /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4 but haven't found it there... | 17:17 |
| genshooter | doyle: the theme im using that border is dark blue on a focused window, black on a non-focued windows - if were talking about the same border - you check those out? | 17:23 |
| TheSheep | Doyle: white border around windows? I can't see such a thing | 17:24 |
| TheSheep | Doyle: perhaps a screenshot would help? | 17:24 |

| Doyle | Thats the xfce-dusk theme, but the white top and 1px border around the sides and bottom is visable on any darker theme. | 17:29 |
| genshooter | my border is blue when i select that theme, which tells me that the border can be configured somewhere | 17:29 |
| Doyle | I've messed with themes individual index.theme files, as well as some xpm settings, but I might have missed something. I' haven't work with themes much in the past. They usually just work. | 17:31 |
| TheSheep | Doyle: perhaps you want to change the window manager theme | 17:36 |
| Doyle | hmmm, is that a gtk2 thing? | 17:40 |
| TheSheep | Doyle: no, looks like it's an xfwm4 thing | 17:40 |
| Doyle | xfwm4 themes. gotcha. I'll give it a shot | 17:42 |
| Doyle | Ahhhh, Window Manager! For shame... seperating window "styles" from themes. | 17:55 |
| genshooter | sometimes you want to keep the same window style that the theme itself uses, but i saw a few window styles with thinner (non-existent) borders | 17:56 |
| genshooter | kde1 | 17:57 |
| Doyle | Platinum is nice and dark | 17:59 |
| genshooter | can you find the config files referred to by these different styles? | 18:01 |
| genshooter | maybe you can tweak one even further in a config file somewhere | 18:01 |

| quant | hi, I was told that older versions of xubuntu were not "pure" xfce, that they were running xfce on top of "something", does anyone have any idea what is this about? | 23:44 |
| pleia2 | xubuntu uses a different layout of panels and panel stuff than default xfce | 23:46 |
| pleia2 | don't know what they mean about xfce running on top of "something" though | 23:46 |
| pleia2 | xubuntu is also a full OS, which includes a variety of default applications, xfce is just the desktop environment | 23:47 |
| drc | You can choose a <xfce session> at login...I know it's different than the Xubuntu session, but how <pure> it is, I don't know. | 23:48 |
| pleia2 | and you can always change the layout of panels and what you run in your panels to make it look like regular xfce, I do :) | 23:48 |
