marijnis there a way to have xfce4-session start a window manager other than xfwm4?12:22
marijni found tutorials online that say you can just kill xfwm4, start you window manager, and save the session, but that doesn't seem to work (anymore)12:23
marijnor is there maybe a channel that's more suitable for xfce questions?12:24
TheSheepthere is always #xfce12:24
TheSheepthey may know better12:24
marijnthanks12:24
Wizardmarijn: use session editor12:30
Wizardon session tab you have all applications registered by session12:31
marijnWizard: which binary is that? xfce4-session-settings?12:32
Wizardxfwm412:32
Wizarddon't quit it!12:32
Wizardwhich wm do you want to run instead of xfwm?12:32
marijnxmonad12:32
Wizardyou're asking for toubles ;P12:32
marijni can get it to work for a single session by killing xfwm4 and starting xmonad, but as soon as i log out it's back to the default12:32
marijnno, really, it seems to work surprisingly well12:33
Wizardthan kill xfwm, start xmonad and click save session in session settings12:33
marijnxmonad doesn't show up in the list of running programs there, though12:33
marijnand i can't figure out why not12:33
Wizardprobably it doesn't support xsession protocol12:34
marijni guess it doesn't12:34
marijnwhere is the session saved? i could edit it by hand...12:34
Wizardhttp://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_XFCE12:34
Wizardcheck this out12:35
marijnthat's what i followed12:35
Wizardhmm12:35
marijndoesn't seem to work with the latest xfce12:35
Wizard~/.cache/sessions12:35
marijnokay, let me try12:35
* Wizard yawns13:13
plantoschkais it somehow possible to show file transfer speed in the copy/move progress windows in xubuntu ?13:20
Wizardhmm, i think it is not possible in thunar..13:27
Wizardand i don't remember if any file manager does that13:28
Wizardyou can allways fill feature request, it would be nice :)13:29
keitazorhello ;)13:50
Wizardhi keitazor13:51
plantoschkafeature request for xfce or xubuntu?13:57
Sysifor xfce would propably be better14:00
Sysiyou can use iotop14:00
Wizardcool tool14:01
Wizardxfce devs are pretty friendly.. i suggested one change, the told me: send a patch14:02
Wizard;P14:02
Sysixfce is quite short on staff14:03
Wizardyeah, i know14:03
Wizardi even tried to prepare that patch for them, but i failed :)14:04
Sysiit's still propably the most stable DE14:04
Sysisome apps and plugins are getting old, but still great14:04
Wizardthe only thing which annoys me is xfce's lack of consistency14:05
Wizardand general interface guidelines14:05
Wizardbut what i like is that from release to release it's getting better (and still not bloated)14:08
Sysiit has features i like, and it *works*14:10
planet8What is the name of the menu in the botton that xubuntu uses?15:11
charlie-tcaIn Xubuntu 11.04, that is called panel 215:11
planet8I mean, what is the name of the package?15:11
charlie-tcaIt is a panel, just as the one on top is a panel15:12
charlie-tcaWe hand built the launchers into it15:12
charlie-tcaas part of the theme15:12
planet8I see, it looks nice, I thought it was something else.15:12
charlie-tcanope, the package providing it is the greybird theme15:13
planet8thanks15:13
charlie-tcaYou are welcome15:14

XubuntuKrisis there an easy way to format an sdcard to fat32?17:00
GridCubegparted17:02
XubuntuKrisAh, I knew I had seen that mentioned somewhere. thanks.17:02
GridCube:)17:02
XubuntuKrisnow, how to burn an img to it to make it bootable?lol17:03
XubuntuKrisI'll find it through google.17:03
GridCubeimage?17:05
GridCubeuse unetbootin to make booteable usb stuff XubuntuKris17:05
XubuntuKrisIt's not a usb17:06
XubuntuKrisit's an 8gig class 6 sdcard17:06
GridCube:P could you place it on a usb card reader?17:06
GridCubependrives are just that but integrated17:06
XubuntuKrisI've found a guide. it's showing a terminal command "dd if=blabla of=blabla17:08
* GridCube doesnt know about that he just uses unetbooting when he wants booteable stuff17:09
GridCubethere is also a way to install grub into it and tell it to boot the img inside, don't really know how17:10
Wizardping18:35
Wizardis there a way to put thunderbird in message-indicator?18:35
charlie-tcanot yet18:36
Wizardi see there's a tutorial on ubuntu forums, i guess it won't blink envelope icon, just adds thunderbird to indicator menu18:37
Wizardseems i was right18:51
Wizardk, i've added gnome integration plugin, installed notify-send and now it at least shows balloons18:57
Warlock_11Hello18:58
Unit193Wizard: There is an addon on launchpad (Not official!) that will add most/all of what you may be looking for (I use it) https://launchpad.net/libnotify-mozilla18:58
Warlock_11Looking for help with Translation settings in puTTY. I get strange characters when I look at info pages in a puTTY session connecting to a laptop running xubuntu. Typically this is resolved by changing the translation settings in puTTY to UTF-8 however this does not seem to resolve the problem. Any suggestions?19:01
Wizardi have no idea, Warlock_1119:03
Wizardbut i may try19:03
Wizardcould you tell me which info page are you browsing?19:05
Warlock_11I was looking at top19:05
Wizardhm, it doesn't show any strange chars in xfce term19:06
Wizarddo you have translated info pages?19:06
Warlock_11No I don't use any translated pages. At work I can simply export my DISPLAY to my Windows Desktop and run xfce4-terminal and it looks good at home however via VPN I don't want to suffer through tunneling an Xsession to my laptop.19:08
Warlock_11I run a Squid Proxy on off of this laptop for my Admin team that gets us around a websense filter. It was the easiest way to deal with having to request a bypassed IP address each time we added a new device to our desks.19:10
Warlock_11I will keep digging on google.com/linux and see what I can find. i just thought if someone else had come across this. I have been saying I would install a wiki to document all my fixes and just maybe I will do that once I figure this seemingly benign but annoying problem out.19:13
Warlock_11Take care Wizard!19:14

Wizardhi again20:49
xrdodrxWizard, hello21:32
Wizardxrdodrx: hi22:03
Wizardi have xubuntu natty installed on two machines and on both selecting turn off from session menu logs out22:48
Wizard:/22:48
WulongWizard: same here, but it had disappeard now. Think its because of some update.23:13
charlie-tcaWizard: the issue is due to incompatibility with Xorg . It is being worked by Xfce, and the workaround is to logout, then restart or shutdown from the gdm screen23:50
charlie-tcaand every distro using xfce has that same issue23:51
