|Slacker|tried to use with xubuntu once but it worked akwardly11:13
knomeafaik, ubuntu one is not supposed to work with xubuntu11:16
Wizardwhy?11:16
knomewell it's not specifically made so it won't work, but it's a canonical effort and it includes some bits that are having problems with non-gnome, i think11:18
knomethe xubuntu devs have no time/motivation to fix that, and canonical won't do that either11:18

jos_when I want to add a keyboard shortcut, I can insert the command, but not the shortcut20:41
jos_or maybe I'm doing something wrong?20:41

ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)23:14

charlie-tcaWe really need to know a bit more about what "this" is and what "not working" is23:14
ubottuDoesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.23:14
