cYmenHow do I stop xubuntu from displaying the contents of my home on the desktop?11:54
TheSheepcYmen: settings->desktop->icons->icon type->none\11:56
TheSheepcYmen: also, it doesn't do that11:56
TheSheepcYmen: by default it displays the contents of the directory Desktop11:57
cYmenTheSheep: I don't have that directory.12:02
cYmenTheSheep: If I set that to none all icons are gone but I like having removable media there.12:02
TheSheepdid you remove your Desktop directory?12:03
cYmenPossibly... :)12:03
TheSheepwell then12:04
cYmenWell, how do I get it back? :)12:05
cYmenI can create the directory but it doesn't have the desired effect. ;)12:05
TheSheepshould work12:08
TheSheephttp://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs <-- this is the spec of that feature12:09
moneedhelphello12:16

cYmenI was getting errors which are now gone after I unmounted it15:13
cYmenbut since I have no clue what it does, can anybody give me any advice?15:13
sokubanwhat's the correct command to load xfce to put in a .xinitrc? startxfce4 brings up a totally different theme than what logging in through gdm would19:08
charlie-tcaAre you starting xubuntu session or xfce session?19:11
sokubancharlie-tca: I guess I want to start a xubuntu session then, I'm not sure if there is a difference19:11
charlie-tcathey are totally different19:12
charlie-tcaxubuntu session puts the xubuntu wallpaper up, xfce session puts up a wallpaper with XFCE in the center19:12
charlie-tcaif you are not getting either one, perhaps you are not starting xfwm419:13
sokubancharlie-tca: ok, basically, I want a .xinitrc because I need to put "export LC_COLLATE=C" in it, and I need to know the command I should exec; sounds like I want the xubuntu session if that's what is the default19:13
sokubancharlie-tca: and I was getting the xfce session with startxfce419:13
sokubancharlie-tca: Now I wouldn't be surprised if you are going to tell me I shouldn't export stuff in .xinitrc, I'm just used to that from my old distro; if there is a more proper place in ubuntu do tell19:14
charlie-tcaI have never used .xinitrc, myself, but if you are starting the session, you would have to start xfsettingsd, xfce4-settings-helper, xfce4-session, xfwm4, xfdesktop4, xfce4-panel19:16
charlie-tcaI don't really know how to do it with .xinitrc. I use GDM or LightDM to start the sessions19:16
sokubancharlie-tca: ok, thanks; I'll try xfce4-session alone because I have a hunch that also might be it but19:17
sokubancharlie-tca: I also plan on keeping on using GDM (going to link .xinitrc to .xsession which I believe it should read)19:18
sokubancharlie-tca: hmm, that gives me the same "xfce session" as before19:20
sokubancharlie-tca: not sure if starting the rest will change anything or not, because obviously xfwm, xfdesktop, and the panel are working anyways19:21
charlie-tcaI don't know then. Maybe make sure the ~/.dmrc has Session=xubuntu    in it19:21
sokubancharlie-tca: maybe it would be easier to try to export that variable with gdm somehow; I've never used gdm before so would you have any idea?19:22
charlie-tcanot necessarily. Many times xfwm4 will fail to start, since Xfce is very modular, every module can run indepent of the rest19:22
charlie-tcaI don't. I install using a normal installation, and let the developers set it for me19:23
sokubancharlie-tca: ok, thanks for you help19:23
sokubancharlie-tca: ok, so I put the thing in /etc/profile and forgot about the whole .xinitrc stuff and it's all fine19:35
charlie-tcaGreat.19:35
charlie-tcaglad you found  a solution19:35
