| peperina | hi | 02:54 |
|---|---|---|
| peperina | anybody out there? | 02:54 |
| lighta | hi peperina yeah ? | 02:54 |
| peperina | hey there, i'm having some trouble here | 02:55 |
| peperina | and i needed some help | 02:55 |
| peperina | i just installed xubuntu 11.04 | 02:55 |
| lighta | and ? | 02:56 |
| peperina | and when i try to install any program at ubuntu software center | 02:56 |
| peperina | nothing happens | 02:56 |
| peperina | the install button goes back to normal and nothing happens =S | 02:56 |
| lighta | hmm, did you install it from bios ? | 02:56 |
| peperina | any thoughts? | 02:56 |
| lighta | as wubi ? | 02:56 |
| lighta | as usb ? | 02:56 |
| lighta | tell me more about your installation | 02:57 |
| peperina | I installed it from cd (i already have installed ubuntu also) | 02:57 |
| peperina | i installed it along with ubunu, intoanother partition | 02:58 |
| lighta | ah ok so it's a good install my first guess was that it wasn't a permanent version so it would be normal if you couldn't install any software | 02:58 |
| lighta | hmm so | 02:58 |
| lighta | and I guess you're a sudouser ? | 02:58 |
| peperina | i think so.. being sincere, 3 days ago I was using windows, and I said "I need linux", and here I am | 02:59 |
| peperina | I'm getting involved with this yet | 02:59 |
| peperina | but i think i'm a sudo user, (I used commands reccomended in forums starting with sudo and they worked) | 03:00 |
| peperina | I just solved it, using sudo software-center | 03:11 |
| peperina | thanks anyway! | 03:11 |
| bazhang | does xubuntu use gksudo/gksu? or something else | 03:15 |

| xrdodrx | bazhang: xubuntu uses gksu | 13:36 |
| bazhang | xrdodrx, thanks | 13:43 |
| knome | afaik gksudo is as good as gksu | 13:43 |
| xrdodrx | w/ 1 | 13:47 |
| Sysi | iirc in ubuntu they're just alias to each other | 14:22 |
| Sysi | !graphicalsudo | 14:22 |
| Sysi | hrm, what was it | 14:22 |
| Sysi | !gksu | 14:23 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 14:23 |
| Inglar | это русски? | 14:23 |
| Sysi | !ru | 14:24 |

| Numn | anybody know if its possible too only show the icons instead of the text on the menu if you understand what i mean | 14:45 |
| TheSheep | you could probably modify a gtk theme like that | 14:45 |
| Numn | so i cant do that.. if i dont do that you told me= | 14:48 |
| TheSheep | there may be other ways, but there is no option like that anywhere in the settings | 14:49 |
| TheSheep | Numn: wait, I assume you are talking about the applications menu | 14:50 |
| TheSheep | Numn: if you mean the toolbars, then of course there is an option for that | 14:50 |
| TheSheep | Numn: in the settings->appearance menu | 14:50 |
| TheSheep | the 'toolbar style' option under 'settings' tab in 'appearance' | 14:51 |
| Numn | oh ok.. i didnt notice it.. but i use xubuntu right now.. i liked it before i didnt it was possible i think i change back then :D | 14:54 |
| Numn | i dont use xubuntu right now* | 14:54 |
| TheSheep | this option was always there | 14:55 |
| Numn | ok i maybe be in the wrong place.. but lubuntu have the feature and i like xubuntu... i need xubuntu that way cus my computer kinda small to fit that much windows.. if you understand what i mean? | 14:56 |
| Sysi | if you want taskbar to show only buttons, right-click → preferences → uncheck "show button title" (on 11.04, with older ones you replace window buttons with iconbox-plugin) | 14:59 |
| knome | huh | 15:02 |
| knome | some bug in irssi | 15:02 |
| knome | /redraw fixed | 15:02 |
| Sysi | Ctrl L helps usually with screen | 15:02 |
| Numn | only icons not any text.. but ok.. i should be ready to replace the lubuntu with xubuntu.. :) | 15:03 |

| s1m0ne | In Ubuntu (GNOME) I could use the middle mouse button for scrolling in Firefox. In Xubuntu (XFCE) i cannot. Is there a way? | 15:43 |
| s1m0ne | I already tried to change some Firefox settings, but nothing works. Seems to be an XFCE thing | 15:44 |
| charlie-tca | activate it in firefox preferences? | 15:44 |
| s1m0ne | Settings are the same now as in my Firefox under GNOME | 15:44 |
| s1m0ne | oh | 15:45 |
| charlie-tca | Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced, general, Use smooth scrolling | 15:45 |
| s1m0ne | there was one setting (general.autoScroll) I missed that | 15:45 |
| s1m0ne | thx | 15:46 |
| s1m0ne | Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced, general, Use auto-scrolling is the right one | 15:46 |
| Sysi | I wish I could do that smooth scroll with mouse/touchpad (like on mac) | 15:47 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know what that is. I don't seem to have a mac | 15:47 |
| Sysi | like that firefox scroll, but happening when you scroll | 15:48 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: I have a mac and I don't even know what you mean | 15:48 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: scroll happening when you scroll? | 15:48 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: that's unnatural! | 15:48 |
| Sysi | smooth scroll, not per-line scroll | 15:48 |
| charlie-tca | mine already scrolls | 15:48 |
| charlie-tca | oh, that | 15:49 |
| charlie-tca | yes, that would be nice | 15:49 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: your mouse sends clicks when you scroll | 15:49 |
| Sysi | it doesn't happen with regular mouse on mac propably, mice don't support it | 15:49 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: so how would you get a smooth position? | 15:49 |
| charlie-tca | you don't. You might end up on a half line instead of the line itself | 15:50 |
| Sysi | TheSheep: it's the same with touchpad? | 15:50 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: yes if you listen to the system events as you should | 15:50 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: no if you write your own touchpad driver | 15:50 |
| Sysi | now that sounds like fun | 15:51 |
| TheSheep | doesn't it? | 15:51 |
| TheSheep | mac's drivers probably do it differently | 15:52 |
| Sysi | it or something quite similar could work with some obscure settings.. | 15:54 |
| charlie-tca | Sysi: if you do find a way, let me know too, huh? | 15:54 |
| Sysi | can do | 15:54 |
| Sysi | even then it would propably be sensible only with touchpad, and you'd need different settings for every touchpad | 15:55 |
| Sysi | I'n need to check if it work with trackball on mac | 15:55 |
| TheSheep | or you could invent fractional clicks <1.25 wink> | 15:59 |
| Sysi | I think xorg doesn't support smaller than one line scroll distance | 16:00 |
| TheSheep | you can tell it how much to scroll per click | 16:02 |
| TheSheep | and that may be fractional | 16:02 |
| TheSheep | but then it gets slower | 16:02 |

| X-Hunter | hello | 18:29 |
| charlie-tca | !hi | X-Hunter | 18:30 |
| ubottu | X-Hunter: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 18:30 |
| X-Hunter | sup | 18:30 |
| X-Hunter | so anyway, if i power off while a live cd is loading, are there any consequences? | 18:31 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 18:31 |
| X-Hunter | cool | 18:31 |
| X-Hunter | cuz my cd was taking forever to boot | 18:31 |
| charlie-tca | Although if the live cd started installing, it would be bad | 18:31 |
| X-Hunter | o yea | 18:31 |
| X-Hunter | but i only run demos | 18:32 |
| X-Hunter | i mostly work in windows | 18:32 |
| X-Hunter | limited hdd space | 18:32 |
| charlie-tca | Then it hurts nothing. The live session leaves the hard drive alone | 18:32 |
| X-Hunter | thx, just needed that question answered | 18:32 |
| Sysi | "presses the power button" | 18:33 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 18:33 |

| ChristopherNG | Hey guys! | 19:05 |
| pteague | what desktop search is being used in natty for xubuntu? | 19:18 |
| charlie-tca | catfish | 19:19 |
| charlie-tca | listed under accessories in the menu | 19:19 |
| pteague | what's the default backend that it uses to search? i'm asking because i had something eating up all my memory & shoving stuff into swap... i killed it earlier & then my system just locked up... wondering if it started up again & killed everything | 19:22 |
| Sysi | you can set it to use few different ones | 19:23 |
| pteague | i've not set it to use anything... hmm... went through the list of 'suggests' for catfish & none of them show up as being installed... weird... i may just have to generate a list of everything installed & look through that then | 19:25 |
| pteague | found it... tumbler | 19:38 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| Sysi | tumbler draws thumbnails of images in thunar | 19:45 |
| X-Hunter | xubuntu rules!!! | 19:50 |
| pteague | yeah, but why would tumbler eat 4gb of ram? | 19:52 |
| TheSheep | because it uses 3rd party programs and plugins, and not all of them behave as they should | 19:52 |
| TheSheep | in particular, some of the uglier video codecs can suddenly eat a lot of ram | 19:53 |
| Sysi | or you have gazillion pics :p | 19:53 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: well, gazillion of pics doesn't require a ot of ram when you make one thumbnail at a time | 19:53 |
| Sysi | well that | 19:53 |
| TheSheep | also, I hate tumbler with a passion, it made thunar almost as unresponsive as nautilus | 19:54 |
| pteague | is there a way to get rid of tumbler then? | 19:54 |
| TheSheep | sure, together with thunar and most of xubuntu | 19:55 |
| pteague | *sigh* ok, then is there something i can use like thunar that doesn't insist on displaying the contents of every file? | 19:56 |
| Sysi | TheSheep: it's tumbler that causes the lad when you delete files? | 19:57 |
| Sysi | s/lad/lag | 19:57 |
| Sysi | because that really sucks | 19:57 |
| TheSheep | no idea, did you report it? | 19:59 |
| pteague | ok, that seems much better... there's an option in thunar so you can turn off thumbnails... seems to not load tumbler | 20:00 |
| pteague | time to reboot for new kernel... | 20:02 |
