=== Soupermanito is now known as GridCube [06:25] need help installing a server image in ubuntu server 10.04, the server image is a tar file with 11 vmdk files and a nvram file [06:56] xubuntu isn't ubuntu server (and what does "server image" mean?) [07:05] hi, is it possible to change `space` key functionality in thunar to some custom actions ?? [07:10] no !! [07:55] why this message is coming over and over again?

[11:56] cYmen: settings->desktop->icons->icon type->none\ [11:56] cYmen: also, it doesn't do that [11:57] cYmen: by default it displays the contents of the directory Desktop [12:02] TheSheep: I don't have that directory. [12:02] TheSheep: If I set that to none all icons are gone but I like having removable media there. [12:03] did you remove your Desktop directory? [12:03] Possibly... :) [12:04] well then [12:05] Well, how do I get it back? :) [12:05] I can create the directory but it doesn't have the desired effect. ;) [12:08] should work [12:09] http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs <-- this is the spec of that feature [12:16] hello [12:16] sorry I am new since today with xubuntu and I need some help with my display, does anyone could help me ? [12:17] it's 3hours I try to fix it but noway :-( [13:24] TheSheep: Had to set it in .config/user_dirs.dirs but now it works fine. Thanks! [15:13] I'm having some trouble with .gvfs [15:13] I was getting errors which are now gone after I unmounted it [15:13] but since I have no clue what it does, can anybody give me any advice? [19:08] what'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 would [19:11] Are you starting xubuntu session or xfce session? [19:11] charlie-tca: I guess I want to start a xubuntu session then, I'm not sure if there is a difference [19:12] they are totally different [19:12] xubuntu session puts the xubuntu wallpaper up, xfce session puts up a wallpaper with XFCE in the center [19:13] if you are not getting either one, perhaps you are not starting xfwm4 [19:13] charlie-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 default [19:13] charlie-tca: and I was getting the xfce session with startxfce4 [19:14] charlie-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 tell [19:16] I 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-panel [19:16] I don't really know how to do it with .xinitrc. I use GDM or LightDM to start the sessions [19:17] charlie-tca: ok, thanks; I'll try xfce4-session alone because I have a hunch that also might be it but [19:18] charlie-tca: I also plan on keeping on using GDM (going to link .xinitrc to .xsession which I believe it should read) [19:20] charlie-tca: hmm, that gives me the same "xfce session" as before [19:21] charlie-tca: not sure if starting the rest will change anything or not, because obviously xfwm, xfdesktop, and the panel are working anyways [19:21] I don't know then. Maybe make sure the ~/.dmrc has Session=xubuntu in it [19:22] charlie-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] not necessarily. Many times xfwm4 will fail to start, since Xfce is very modular, every module can run indepent of the rest [19:23] I don't. I install using a normal installation, and let the developers set it for me [19:23] charlie-tca: ok, thanks for you help [19:35] charlie-tca: ok, so I put the thing in /etc/profile and forgot about the whole .xinitrc stuff and it's all fine [19:35] Great. [19:35] glad you found a solution [21:08] why this message is coming over and over again?

[22:17] :D [22:19] so this "directories menu" panel element, can it be forced to work properly? i mean to clic on a folder and open it instead of the complex >mouse over, show everysinglefileofthefolder >open folder? [22:35] first reboot, wish me luck :D [22:38] :D [22:39] mmmm ubuntu doesn't come whit rar management :/ [22:39] install unrar [22:40] installing xarchiver whit its complements [22:40] i've found out that xarchiver does a better job on big rar files [22:41] xarchiver is just a frontend for using extracktion apps [22:43] then why does it work where file roller doesnt? [22:44] GridCube: you can change that to Thunar %F [22:44] it will then open thunar instead of giving that long list [22:46] yes i just created a thunar launcher, it is sad that i can not have a "places" list so i could open ... oooo i can make one :D creating a launcher box whit several thunar launcher binded to each folder i would like to open [22:47] * GridCube pats himself in the back [22:47] the software center is loading and loading and loading but never actually loads [22:50] http://imagebin.org/157402 [22:50] :( [22:51] synaptic's better anyway :P start from terminal and see if it says something [22:52] the thing is that im not the one who will be using this computer, i want it to work purrfectly [22:54] nope, starting it from a terminal says nothing [22:59] can i safely uninstall ristreto? or i need it for something thunar does? [23:00] you can uninstall it [23:00] it's the first thing I always do [23:04] :D great [23:21] anyone else noticing thunar taking a long time to launch the first time it's run after boot? [23:23] "feature" [23:24] yes [23:24] "feature" [23:58] software center is broken, isn't it?
