=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:54] hi [02:54] anybody out there? [02:54] hi peperina yeah ? [02:55] hey there, i'm having some trouble here [02:55] and i needed some help [02:55] i just installed xubuntu 11.04 [02:56] and ? [02:56] and when i try to install any program at ubuntu software center [02:56] nothing happens [02:56] the install button goes back to normal and nothing happens =S [02:56] hmm, did you install it from bios ? [02:56] any thoughts? [02:56] as wubi ? [02:56] as usb ? [02:57] tell me more about your installation [02:57] I installed it from cd (i already have installed ubuntu also) [02:58] i installed it along with ubunu, intoanother partition [02:58] 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] hmm so [02:58] and I guess you're a sudouser ? [02:59] i think so.. being sincere, 3 days ago I was using windows, and I said "I need linux", and here I am [02:59] I'm getting involved with this yet [03:00] but i think i'm a sudo user, (I used commands reccomended in forums starting with sudo and they worked) [03:11] I just solved it, using sudo software-center [03:11] thanks anyway! [03:15] does xubuntu use gksudo/gksu? or something else === zenrox__ is now known as zenrox === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === YeahRight_ is now known as YeahRight === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [13:36] bazhang: xubuntu uses gksu [13:43] xrdodrx, thanks [13:43] afaik gksudo is as good as gksu [13:47] w/ 1 [14:22] iirc in ubuntu they're just alias to each other [14:22] !graphicalsudo [14:22] hrm, what was it [14:23] !gksu [14:23] 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] это русски?

[14:45] 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] you could probably modify a gtk theme like that [14:48] so i cant do that.. if i dont do that you told me= [14:49] there may be other ways, but there is no option like that anywhere in the settings [14:50] Numn: wait, I assume you are talking about the applications menu [14:50] Numn: if you mean the toolbars, then of course there is an option for that [14:50] Numn: in the settings->appearance menu [14:51] the 'toolbar style' option under 'settings' tab in 'appearance' [14:54] 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] i dont use xubuntu right now* [14:55] this option was always there [14:56] 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? [14:59] 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) [15:02] huh [15:02] some bug in irssi [15:02] /redraw fixed [15:02] Ctrl L helps usually with screen [15:03] only icons not any text.. but ok.. i should be ready to replace the lubuntu with xubuntu.. :) === assassin is now known as raju [15:43] In Ubuntu (GNOME) I could use the middle mouse button for scrolling in Firefox. In Xubuntu (XFCE) i cannot. Is there a way? [15:44] I already tried to change some Firefox settings, but nothing works. Seems to be an XFCE thing [15:44] activate it in firefox preferences? [15:44] Settings are the same now as in my Firefox under GNOME [15:45] oh [15:45] Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced, general, Use smooth scrolling [15:45] there was one setting (general.autoScroll) I missed that [15:46] thx [15:46] Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced, general, Use auto-scrolling is the right one [15:47] I wish I could do that smooth scroll with mouse/touchpad (like on mac) [15:47] I don't know what that is. I don't seem to have a mac [15:48] like that firefox scroll, but happening when you scroll [15:48] Sysi: I have a mac and I don't even know what you mean [15:48] Sysi: scroll happening when you scroll? [15:48] Sysi: that's unnatural! [15:48] smooth scroll, not per-line scroll [15:48] mine already scrolls [15:49] oh, that [15:49] yes, that would be nice [15:49] Sysi: your mouse sends clicks when you scroll [15:49] it doesn't happen with regular mouse on mac propably, mice don't support it [15:49] Sysi: so how would you get a smooth position? [15:50] you don't. You might end up on a half line instead of the line itself [15:50] TheSheep: it's the same with touchpad? [15:50] Sysi: yes if you listen to the system events as you should [15:50] Sysi: no if you write your own touchpad driver [15:51] now that sounds like fun [15:51] doesn't it? [15:52] mac's drivers probably do it differently [15:54] it or something quite similar could work with some obscure settings.. [15:54] Sysi: if you do find a way, let me know too, huh? [15:54] can do [15:55] even then it would propably be sensible only with touchpad, and you'd need different settings for every touchpad [15:55] I'n need to check if it work with trackball on mac [15:59] or you could invent fractional clicks <1.25 wink> [16:00] I think xorg doesn't support smaller than one line scroll distance [16:02] you can tell it how much to scroll per click [16:02] and that may be fractional [16:02] but then it gets slower === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [18:29] hello [18:30] !hi | X-Hunter [18:30] 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] sup [18:31] so anyway, if i power off while a live cd is loading, are there any consequences? [18:31] nope [18:31] cool [18:31] cuz my cd was taking forever to boot [18:31] Although if the live cd started installing, it would be bad [18:31] o yea [18:32] but i only run demos [18:32] i mostly work in windows [18:32] limited hdd space [18:32] Then it hurts nothing. The live session leaves the hard drive alone [18:32] thx, just needed that question answered [18:33] "presses the power button" [18:33] yup === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === assassin is now known as group === group is now known as assassin === assassin is now known as raju [19:05] Hey guys! [19:18] what desktop search is being used in natty for xubuntu? [19:19] catfish [19:19] listed under accessories in the menu [19:22] 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 [19:23] you can set it to use few different ones [19:25] 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 [19:38] found it... tumbler === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:45] tumbler draws thumbnails of images in thunar [19:50] xubuntu rules!!! [19:52] yeah, but why would tumbler eat 4gb of ram? [19:52] because it uses 3rd party programs and plugins, and not all of them behave as they should [19:53] in particular, some of the uglier video codecs can suddenly eat a lot of ram [19:53] or you have gazillion pics :p [19:53] Sysi: well, gazillion of pics doesn't require a ot of ram when you make one thumbnail at a time [19:53] well that [19:54] also, I hate tumbler with a passion, it made thunar almost as unresponsive as nautilus [19:54] is there a way to get rid of tumbler then? [19:55] sure, together with thunar and most of xubuntu [19:56] *sigh* ok, then is there something i can use like thunar that doesn't insist on displaying the contents of every file? [19:57] TheSheep: it's tumbler that causes the lad when you delete files? [19:57] s/lad/lag [19:57] because that really sucks [19:59] no idea, did you report it? [20:00] ok, that seems much better... there's an option in thunar so you can turn off thumbnails... seems to not load tumbler [20:02] time to reboot for new kernel... [20:16] back === SaaMmY1 is now known as SaaMmY [21:41] somebody that know how i can change the toolbar in xubuntu to icon only instad of text and icon?
