| GridCube | so you have not wifi working? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| mattman55 | that is correct, before I had it working on the same laptop with ubuntu, it does not have a built in wireless | 00:03 |
| GridCube | mmm | 00:03 |
| mattman55 | basically i want to solve the "unclaimed" problem, how can I "reclaim" it? | 00:05 |
| GridCube | don't really know, trying to find out | 00:09 |
| GridCube | charlie-tca, do you know more about this? or where to search? | 00:09 |
| GridCube | mattman55, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=74651 | 00:12 |
| orngjce223 | Hey, I just dumped some new themes into my /usr/share/themes folder, how do I get the appearance manager to pick up on them? Is there something that I should clear? | 00:12 |
| orngjce223 | (XFCE of course) | 00:12 |
| charlie-tca | I am not any good on wireless. I usually refer to #ubuntu-beginners if no one here can help | 00:12 |
| GridCube | nope just choose that theme on the theme list it should be there | 00:12 |
| charlie-tca | orngjce223: just open settings -> Appearance or Window Manager depending on the type of theme, it should be there. | 00:13 |
| orngjce223 | It's not there yet, though. | 00:13 |
| orngjce223 | Huh | 00:13 |
| charlie-tca | appearance handles gtk themes, window manager handles xfwm4 themes | 00:13 |
| orngjce223 | Wait a moment, I need to check that I got the directory structure right | 00:13 |
| orngjce223 | I might be a stupid | 00:13 |
| orngjce223 | Oops! | 00:14 |
| orngjce223 | I forgot to put the gtk2.0 directory in | 00:14 |
| orngjce223 | Guess that's my bad then | 00:14 |
| orngjce223 | Never mind! | 00:14 |
| charlie-tca | orngjce223: usually, just copy the entire theme folder, which will have gtk, xfwm, notification, and other stuff, depending on the theme | 00:15 |
| orngjce223 | Yeah | 00:16 |
| orngjce223 | Well, I copied the gtkrc from xfce-dusk and edited it | 00:16 |
| orngjce223 | But then I forgot to recreate an analogous folder structure when I put the new directory in | 00:16 |
| orngjce223 | So yeah, my fault really | 00:17 |
| orngjce223 | Sorry | 00:17 |
| orngjce223 | Huh | 00:17 |
| orngjce223 | Okay | 00:17 |
| orngjce223 | I'm in Settings>Appearance with the gtk theme | 00:17 |
| orngjce223 | But I don't see it there still | 00:17 |
| orngjce223 | Is there a theme list cache I'm supposed to clear? | 00:18 |
| charlie-tca | You gave the new theme a unique name, right/ | 00:18 |
| charlie-tca | It usually goes by the folder name, but the theme might have put it's own name in too | 00:18 |
| orngjce223 | Yeah | 00:19 |
| orngjce223 | Folder name, I think | 00:19 |
| orngjce223 | Let me check the files though | 00:19 |
| orngjce223 | Huh | 00:20 |
| orngjce223 | Yeah, there's no name spec in the file | 00:20 |
| orngjce223 | I put it in a folder with a new name though | 00:20 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe it is just isn' t | 00:22 |
| orngjce223 | Huh. | 00:22 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe it just is not gtk compatible? Is it a gnome theme, by chance? | 00:22 |
| orngjce223 | I copied from xfce-dusk and only edited the color values | 00:22 |
| orngjce223 | So I seriously doubt I've made something incompatible honestly | 00:23 |
| charlie-tca | did you copy all the stuff, or just a single part? | 00:23 |
| orngjce223 | the gtkrc was literally the only file in there, IIRC | 00:24 |
| orngjce223 | Yeah | 00:24 |
| orngjce223 | It was the only thing there | 00:24 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 00:25 |
| charlie-tca | and dusk works? | 00:25 |
| orngjce223 | Yep | 00:25 |
| orngjce223 | Correction: I'm using it right now and it works fine, I just wanted different colors | 00:26 |
| charlie-tca | you created a new folder, put the gtk-2.0 folder in it, and put gtkrc in the gtk-2.0 folder? | 00:26 |
| orngjce223 | yes | 00:26 |
| charlie-tca | I am at a loss | 00:26 |
| charlie-tca | ochosi: you around for a quick minute? | 00:26 |
| charlie-tca | knome: you around? | 00:27 |
| charlie-tca | help with a new theme not showing up? | 00:27 |
| charlie-tca | See if I can get the experts to help with this | 00:27 |
| orngjce223 | Thanks | 00:27 |
| knome | charlie-tca, hmmh | 00:27 |
| charlie-tca | If you copy a theme, and rename the new folder, shouldn' t it show up in appearance? | 00:28 |
| knome | you might need to restart the appearance dialog, but yes, it should be instant | 00:28 |
| orngjce223 | Huh. | 00:28 |
| charlie-tca | okay, orngjce223 your turn | 00:28 |
| * orngjce223 restarts it | 00:29 | |
| orngjce223 | Now I'm just confused. | 00:29 |
| charlie-tca | ask knome. He knows a lot more than I do about themes | 00:29 |
| orngjce223 | 'k | 00:29 |
| knome | orngjce223, does the problem persist? | 00:32 |
| orngjce223 | Should I send you the tarball of the particular theme? | 00:33 |
| knome | if you want, i can test it quickly, yes | 00:33 |
| orngjce223 | Yeah, it reoccurs even when I move the folder out and back in | 00:33 |
| orngjce223 | Thanks | 00:34 |
| orngjce223 | http://www.mediafire.com/?hgqeiug077oakuc | 00:34 |
| orngjce223 | ? | 00:34 |
| knome | orngjce223, ahem, "gtk-2.0", not "gtk2.0" | 00:36 |
| orngjce223 | Oh! | 00:36 |
| orngjce223 | Yeah it works now | 00:38 |
| orngjce223 | Derp | 00:38 |
| orngjce223 | Thanks | 00:38 |
| orngjce223 | Okay sorry one more question, since I'm building something based on these themes | 00:48 |
| orngjce223 | Where is the actual choice of theme saved within one's home directory? | 00:48 |
| knome | do you mean the theme name, or what? | 00:49 |
| orngjce223 | When you select a theme, where is that /preference/ saved? not the name but which one you picked | 00:50 |
| knome | right. i don't know. maybe in .config, or xfconfig | 00:50 |
| orngjce223 | hm | 00:52 |
| * orngjce223 recursively searches .config for any mention... no? | 00:52 | |
| knome | i actually think that's stored in xfconf | 00:53 |
| knome | #xfce will know better | 00:53 |
| orngjce223 | Okay | 00:54 |
| orngjce223 | cd #xfce | 00:54 |
| orngjce223 | Wait | 00:54 |
| * orngjce223 slap XD | 00:54 | |
| charlie-tca | Thanks, knome | 01:08 |
| knome | no problem | 01:08 |
| knome | charlie-tca, see the link #x-d | 01:08 |
| elros | do you know how I can customize the lightdm theme? 11.10 | 01:09 |
| charlie-tca | okay | 01:09 |
| knome | elros, not yet. ask closer to release | 01:09 |
| elros | ok | 01:09 |
| elros | it works, a few buttons are missing icons | 01:10 |
| charlie-tca | um, probably got to wait until we have a theme to customize ;) | 01:14 |
| knome | well you sure can customize what is out already | 01:14 |
| knome | or create from scracth | 01:14 |
| knome | elros, anyway, about the missing icons, i think that's more an issue with icon themes than lightdm, but i might be wrong | 01:14 |
| xrdodrx | elros, try reading this: http://people.ubuntu.com/~robert-ancell/lightdm/reference/ | 01:35 |
| xrdodrx | LightDM is very customizable, and is fun to play around with :D | 01:36 |
| Clerisy | How can I get the "places button" like in ubuntu, on xfce? | 02:47 |
| xrdodrx | Clerisy, install the package xfce4-places-plugin | 02:49 |
| xrdodrx | Then add it with right click > add to panel | 02:49 |
| Clerisy | ty | 02:49 |
| Clerisy | Perfect. Thanks xrdodrx | 02:51 |
| Clerisy | One more thing | 02:51 |
| Clerisy | In the previous xfce I was using, there was an option in the panel so that you could change the width of the taskbar window buttons. How can I get this feature in 4.8.8? | 02:52 |
| xrdodrx | Clerisy, I'm not sure what you mean by taskbar window buttons | 02:52 |
| Clerisy | The buttons in the taskbar that appear when you open a window | 02:52 |
| Clerisy | :s | 02:52 |
| xrdodrx | Clerisy, still not entirely sure what you mean...the buttons with the window titles on them? | 02:53 |
| Clerisy | yeah | 02:53 |
| Clerisy | yes, that's what I meant xrdodrx | 02:54 |
| xrdodrx | I'm not sure if that's possible | 02:55 |
| xrdodrx | :( | 02:55 |
| xrdodrx | it may be, I just cannot find it | 02:55 |
| Clerisy | in the previous panels | 02:55 |
| Clerisy | when I right clicked the panel and clicked "properties", there was a setting that was like, "max width of button" or something. | 02:55 |
| Clerisy | here xrdodrx | 03:00 |
| Clerisy | it was called | 03:00 |
| Clerisy | "Task list fixed length" | 03:00 |
| xrdodrx | Clerisy, looks like that was taken out | 03:01 |
| Clerisy | ( ´,_ゝ`) | 03:01 |
| xrdodrx | it might be in some configuration file somwhere, but I'm not sure. | 03:01 |
| Clerisy | I loved that feature >.< | 03:01 |
| Clerisy | You could set it to like 1000 and then every button would resize to fill the taskbar | 03:02 |
| Clerisy | so if you had just one button open it would take the whole taskbar | 03:02 |
| Clerisy | then 2, it would half each | 03:02 |
| knome | Clerisy, right-click the panel, and select panel -> panel preferences | 03:03 |
| knome | Clerisy, then go to the items tab, and select the "window buttons" applet | 03:03 |
| knome | Clerisy, there's an "edit" button to the right of the list | 03:03 |
| knome | Clerisy, you should be able to access the customization menu there | 03:03 |
| Clerisy | ive already gotten this far :P | 03:04 |
| Clerisy | theres nothing like it there | 03:04 |
| xrdodrx | knome, that doesn't include what he's looking for | 03:04 |
| knome | Clerisy, okay, so did you add separator/spacing? | 03:04 |
| Clerisy | uhh I dont think so | 03:04 |
| knome | that could be causing it | 03:05 |
| Clerisy | where is that option knome? | 03:06 |
| knome | Clerisy, the separator or spacing is an "applet" in the panel, you should see that in the applet list | 03:06 |
| Clerisy | where do you want me to put it? | 03:07 |
| Clerisy | it's not doing anything knome | 03:08 |
| knome | Clerisy, wekk, i think you shouldn't add any, at least | 03:08 |
| Clerisy | hng | 03:08 |

| Wizard | i have a question about software center | 10:11 |
| Wizard | what does mean number under the rating stars? | 10:12 |
| Wizard | how many users rated or how many reviews are available? | 10:13 |
| azzzz | hi. i have a question about xfce4-appfinder. where he is "picks up" applications, and how i can add/remove applications from his list? | 11:13 |
| Sysi | all installed apps afaik, you can install and remove those with synaptic or software center | 11:16 |
| knome | doesn't it look for .desktop files? | 11:16 |
| Sysi | idk, never used it | 11:16 |
| knome | me neither really, but is there any other sensible way? | 11:17 |
| azzzz | hmm. in fact, i want to make my appfinder to show me ALL applications installed on my xubuntu. the default "Xubuntu session" is hides many of applications from user. i want to unhide all of them, but i don't want to use "Xfce session" | 11:19 |
| azzzz | probably the solution for me is to edit some configuration files related to .desktop files | 11:22 |
| azzzz | when i look in /usr/share/applications , i see that this directory contains enough *.desktop files for me to use. is there a possibility to make appfinder to show me these files? | 11:27 |
| JAdls | is there a way to get the tasklist fixed width in 4.8.8? | 11:34 |
| azzzz | thank you all | 12:09 |
| Clerisy | how to change task list button width in xfce 4.8.8 | 12:25 |
| xubuntu512 | how i can install libreoffice? | 15:13 |
| Sysi | with software center on synaptic | 15:14 |
| Sysi | *or | 15:14 |

| Sysi | yup | 15:14 |

| ovrflw0x | how to make an autostart application start minimized to system tray? | 15:57 |
| levi_ | to system tray? | 15:59 |
| ovrflw0x | yes | 15:59 |
| ovrflw0x | so that i don't have to close or minimize the app every time i boot in | 15:59 |
| levi_ | hum, let me think | 16:01 |
| charlie-tca | try the application documenatation to see if it is possible | 16:01 |
| charlie-tca | most apps tell you how to start them minimized | 16:01 |
| ovrflw0x | how about thunderbird | 16:01 |
| charlie-tca | thunderbird has good documentation | 16:02 |
| charlie-tca | try thunderbird --help in a terminal | 16:02 |
| ovrflw0x | nope | 16:03 |
| ovrflw0x | nothing | 16:03 |
| ovrflw0x | worth implementing in thunderbird --help | 16:03 |
| charlie-tca | Not all apps will start minimized. Thunderbird is probably one of those | 16:04 |

| Guest46202 | Using Thunar 1.2.1 and Xubuntu 11.02, I am attempting to copy (and merge/overwrite) folders and files from an ext4 partition to a USBstick/drive formated with ntsf. Normally I would expect a folder named "Music" on the ext4 partition to be merged with a folder named "music" on the ntfs USBstick. What I am seeing, however, is that the "Music" folder is being copied to the ntsf USB stick, resulting in two folders "Music" and "music". Any ideas as to h | 17:03 |
| Guest46202 | ow this is happening? | 17:03 |
| knome | 11.02 ?? | 17:04 |
| charlie-tca | linux recognizes capital letters | 17:04 |
| charlie-tca | Those are two different folders under anything except windows | 17:04 |
| knome | yes, file (and directory) names are case-sensitive | 17:04 |
| Guest46202 | Yea I know...but ntfs (the FS that is being copied to) does not | 17:05 |
| charlie-tca | You are coping a folder with a capital letter, linux copies it that way | 17:05 |
| Guest46202 | ok | 17:05 |
| charlie-tca | It does not care what ntfs sees | 17:05 |
| Guest46202 | Then why, six months ago, under Ubuntu 10.10 and nautilus, doing exactly the same thing, with the same files, to the same ntfs USBstick, did the folders merge? | 17:10 |
| charlie-tca | um, sounds like something Ubuntu did to force it | 17:11 |
| knome | Guest46202, Nautilus probably has some code to probe that, but if it does, it means it will not to what you want, if you want both "Music" and "music" directories | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | Ubuntu is not Xubuntu, Nautilus is not Thunar | 17:11 |
| Guest46202 | knome, no, I want them to merge. | 17:11 |
| Guest46202 | ok, thanks | 17:12 |
| knome | case-sensitiviness does not usually make sense in the same-name-but-different-casing, but sometimes it does | 17:12 |
| knome | Guest46202, rename the dir you are copying. | 17:12 |
| spongedaddy | hello all: using xubuntu 11.04 on an old dell and loving it -- was a Puppy user for a long time and the speed is the same yet xubuntu is friendlier. | 17:15 |
| spongedaddy | just sayin' ;) | 17:15 |
| knome | spongedaddy, thanks for the feedback | 17:16 |
| spongedaddy | knome, my pleasure! | 17:16 |
| spongedaddy | now i'm looking for a way to help out if my meager skills can be useful | 17:17 |
| charlie-tca | certainly | 17:17 |
| charlie-tca | what area would you be able to help with? | 17:18 |
| charlie-tca | testing, bugs, docs, marketing, wiki updates, ... | 17:18 |
| spongedaddy | by day i'm a mild-mannered tech writer/website builder/data analyst | 17:19 |
| knome | spongedaddy, do you know js(ajax) / jquery well? | 17:19 |
| spongedaddy | by night i'm a fledgling programmer | 17:19 |
| spongedaddy | knome, unfortunately not really. somewhat familiar with javascript which shld help my learning curve. its on my bucket list. | 17:22 |
| knome | spongedaddy, it's okay. we're currently building a new website and i thought you might have wanted to share some insights about some js | 17:23 |
| spongedaddy | knome, docs is probably where i could be most useful. | 17:23 |
| spongedaddy | i know just enough js to get myself both in and out of trouble | 17:24 |
| knome | spongedaddy, then talk to charlie-tca :) with the new website coming up, we might also need some website editors, if you're interested in that | 17:24 |
| spongedaddy | groovy! | 17:24 |
| knome | spongedaddy, http://demo.knome.fi/imgcapt/ <- something from last nights hacksession | 17:25 |
| knome | spongedaddy, you might need to refresh after loading (still investigating why it doesn't always work) | 17:26 |
| spongedaddy | knome, ok -- i see the "ImgCaptDemo" page and some hover-over buttons. looks neat but refresh doesn't change anything. | 17:28 |
| knome | well yeah, the refresh was only needed if the page looked broken at load | 17:30 |
| spongedaddy | ok -- definitely interested in helping with content if needed. | 17:32 |
| knome | great! you might want to join #xubuntu-devel, where most of the development discussion in IRC happen | 17:32 |
| knome | we also have a mailing list, to which you should subscribe if you want to keep track of what's happening: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel | 17:33 |
| knome | bbl -> | 17:34 |
| spongedaddy | i've joined the devel mailing list and will check in on the IRC channel -- thanks!! | 17:34 |

| Mebius | Hi there ! Need support about Xubuntu Live CD. | 19:24 |
| Mebius | Real quick if someone can help | 19:24 |
| Mebius | Live HD, to be exact. | 19:25 |
| Josesordo | are you in a live CD? | 19:26 |
| Mebius | No, the problem is that I need a password for Xubuntu when bootin on my Live HD (hard drive) | 19:28 |
| Mebius | booting* | 19:28 |
| Mebius | When trying to log in | 19:29 |
| GridCube | Mebius, you don't need one | 19:34 |
| Sysi | how did you make that "live hard drive"? | 19:34 |
| Mebius | I've tryed with no password but still doesn't work | 19:34 |
| Sysi | it can be "ubuntu" | 19:35 |
| Mebius | Managed with unetbootin but wasn't detecting drives so used LinuxLiveUSB | 19:35 |
| Mebius | Tryed also, still doesn't work | 19:35 |
| GridCube | i don't understand what you did or how, but try the same password from the system you used LLU | 19:36 |
| Mebius | I'm on live harddrive | 19:37 |
| Mebius | Nevermind people, I'm setting new 11.04 version on it. Will try to set custom password with persistance mode | 19:37 |
| Mebius | Thanks anyways | 19:42 |
| charlie-tca | GridCube: that means you should close update-manager, open a terminal, and run sudo apt-get update | 19:56 |
| GridCube | okay thanks charlie-tca | 20:10 |
| charlie-tca | It should tell you anything else needs to be done in terminal | 20:11 |
| GridCube | it said nothing just updated | 20:11 |
| GridCube | i run sudo apt-get check | 20:12 |
| GridCube | and nothing either | 20:12 |
| GridCube | guess it was just a silly thing | 20:15 |
| charlie-tca | Then it may have been the update-manager/software-center glitch that shows up ocassionally. | 20:34 |
| Wizard | good evening | 22:25 |

| gNewPower | hi guys. Today I did the mistake of upgrading from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04. Huge, HUUUGE mistake. Now I want to switch to Xubuntu. Can I install one meta-package and get a full Xubuntu install rather than an Ubuntu 11.04+XFCE? | 22:45 |
| charlie-tca | sure | 22:47 |
| gNewPower | charlie-tca, how do I do that? | 22:47 |
| charlie-tca | open a terminal, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 22:47 |
| gNewPower | ok | 22:47 |
| gNewPower | and that I get the full xubuntu just like if I did a fresh install? | 22:47 |
| charlie-tca | no, you get a xubuntu install on top of a Ubuntu install. It does not remove Ubuntu, it adds Xubuntu | 22:48 |
| gNewPower | ok | 22:48 |
| charlie-tca | There is no easy way to a fresh Xubuntu install without actually redoing it | 22:48 |
| gNewPower | funny, I am installed xubuntu thought synaptic and it says that it has to remove ubuntu-desktop | 22:52 |
| gNewPower | we shall see :-) | 22:52 |
| gNewPower | hopefully this shall comprehensively shoot Unity | 22:52 |
| charlie-tca | yes, it does remove the desktop meta-package, but that does not remove all the other stuff | 22:53 |
| gNewPower | well, the more Unity it takes away, the better. I am SO SO SO pissed at Ubuntu/Canonical/Shuttleworth for this abomination and for dumping GNOME (even dumping the name) | 22:54 |
| gNewPower | does Xubuntu support real transparency? how about compiz? | 22:54 |
| charlie-tca | Have you looked at gnome3? It is not really so pleasant either | 22:55 |
| gNewPower | no, I have seen it yet, but I hear that it is bad | 22:55 |
| gNewPower | though better than Unity | 22:55 |
| gNewPower | more configurable | 22:55 |
| gNewPower | ok, going to Xubuntu | 22:56 |
| gNewPower | see in in a couple of mins | 22:56 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu uses the Xfwm compositor | 22:56 |
| charlie-tca | It can usecompiz | 22:57 |
| gNewPower | back | 22:58 |
| gNewPower | looks great so far | 22:58 |
| gNewPower | I need to so some configs now (font size etc.) | 22:59 |
| gNewPower | charlie-tca, thanks for the tip!!! | 23:00 |
| t3084 | ha | 23:01 |
| t3084 | this is cool | 23:01 |
| t3084 | irc while installing | 23:01 |
| t3084 | heh | 23:01 |
| t3084 | nice little touch | 23:02 |
| GridCube | :D | 23:03 |
| GridCube | welcome to xubuntu | 23:03 |
| GridCube | althought that irc while installing has been there since like... 2008? | 23:04 |
| t3084 | ha | 23:04 |
| gNewPower | GridCube, thanks, it feels wonderful. | 23:04 |
| t3084 | i've never really used xubuntu | 23:04 |
| t3084 | like once before | 23:04 |
| gNewPower | say, can I use compiz with Xubuntu? | 23:04 |
| GridCube | :D | 23:04 |
| GridCube | yes | 23:04 |
| t3084 | i'm a puppy user mostly | 23:04 |
| GridCube | !compiz | 23:04 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 23:04 |
| GridCube | oh, t3084, i've never used puppy, but on the *buntu family we are quite helpful most of the time :D you just ask | 23:06 |
| gNewPower | I have used compiz before, I just want to know if that works with Xubuntu | 23:06 |
| t3084 | good to know | 23:06 |
| t3084 | i've tried the latest ubuntu | 23:06 |
| t3084 | and it's cool and all | 23:06 |
| t3084 | but too bloaty :p | 23:06 |
| t3084 | and I know i could strip out gnome | 23:07 |
| t3084 | but why should I? | 23:07 |
| t3084 | :p lol | 23:07 |
| t3084 | i learn linux on puppy so I'm kinda bias | 23:07 |
| t3084 | but I like trying them all | 23:07 |
| t3084 | i used arch and slackware for awhile | 23:07 |
| t3084 | but you just can't seem to beat a good debian build | 23:08 |
| t3084 | as far as compatibility goes | 23:08 |
| GridCube | :) | 23:09 |
| t3084 | all done installing! | 23:12 |
| t3084 | see ya all around | 23:12 |
| t3084 | ; | 23:12 |
| t3084 | ^.^ | 23:12 |
| gNewPower | hey , I installed two CPU monitors on the top panel. how do I get rid of the 2nd one? | 23:14 |
| GridCube | >contextual panel >delete? | 23:15 |
| gNewPower | found it, thanks! | 23:15 |
| GridCube | i don't unse 11.04, its has new panels so i dont really know how its called | 23:15 |
| charlie-tca | GridCube: right click the icon, click remove? | 23:18 |
| gNewPower | one more question: the entire desktop is a little to the left. how do I re-center it? | 23:19 |
| GridCube | oh good to know, you know because the 11.04 menus have two levels? one for the proper launcher/addon and other for the panel itself, i didn't knew if the remove was on the first or the second level | 23:20 |
| charlie-tca | gNewPower: usually by using a self-adjust button on the monitor itself | 23:20 |
| GridCube | gNewPower, installed the drivers for your video card? if yes then just use the autoadjust from the monitor's menu | 23:21 |
| gNewPower | stupid me! that workedf | 23:21 |
| gNewPower | -f | 23:21 |
| gNewPower | thanks guys, Xubuntu feels like a dream come true, especially after Unity!! | 23:21 |
| GridCube | C: | 23:22 |
| gNewPower | hey, who can I configure windows to roll-up with I double click on their title bar? | 23:39 |
| gNewPower | nevermind - found it ;-) | 23:40 |
| Mandrew | can i install globalmenu in xubuntu? | 23:41 |
| charlie-tca | What is it? | 23:42 |
| charlie-tca | Apparently nothing important :) | 23:54 |
| Mandrew | charlie-tca i guess you talk with me ;) | 23:57 |
| Mandrew | the globalmenu is a applet | 23:58 |
| charlie-tca | Sounds like something Gnome or Unity specific then? | 23:58 |
| Mandrew | its in ubuntu 11.04 | 23:58 |
| Mandrew | or shall i say in the unity part of ubuntu but you can install it in ubuntu classic too | 23:59 |
| t3084 | alrighty then | 23:59 |
| charlie-tca | That doesn' t mean it can be used in Xubuntu. Unity and classic are both gnome based. | 23:59 |
