=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:08] xfce doesn't power down or reboot, it just logs out, please help... === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [10:20] hello [10:23] I have question, some ppl on xfce mailing list said that xubuntu doesn't have newest packages, f.e. Thunar or patch gvfs problem [10:23] Is there some1 who could do packages for it? [10:27] there is newer packages in oneiric. [10:28] of course, it's not possible to keep up day-to-day, as we're releasing a new version only every 6 months [10:28] most of the critical bugs should be fixed in stable release updates, too, for older versions [10:46] but in oneiric will be same Xfce 4.8.x so why it is problem to get update of current line? [10:47] 4.10 is not stable [10:48] but i mean 4.8.x, not next line :) [10:50] little packagers, only one? and he has life too [10:50] i do think mrhas uploaded the most sensible and most recent xfce in xubuntu [10:51] s/mrhas/mr_pouit has/ [10:52] file a bug if there's problem that is fixed in newer version [10:58] <3 the greybird theme.... [10:58] Especially the fact it THEMES CHROME NICELY! [10:58] not particularly nice to have to fix specifically for one application, but awesome that greybird does [11:04] Alan, thanks :) [11:11] ochosi: oh cool, you're responsible for that? [11:11] * Alan just used some google-fu to check [11:26] Alan, he is [11:28] Alan, yeah, sry, was away. and in fact i'll be off in a minute again === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [12:59] Why is Xubuntu so bloaty? It is like eating a bad sandwich at Subway! [13:00] LABcrab just kick out the stuff you don't need and then it's much better than KDE as i think ;) [13:01] Jensit: i don't get it. i've heard Xu uses more ram than Ub. [13:01] LABcrab: really? it's not feeling like that for me.... is used Xubuntu and Ubuntu on my Desktop and on my DEsktop Xubuntu is using about the same RAm [13:02] But on my notebook i prefer ubuntu because of unity [13:02] Jensit: i almost don't see the point of Xubuntu. It's like Kubuntu, but i see some niche for that. But Xubuntu? [13:03] Kubuntu doesn't really work very well on my mashine... dont really know why, so i have chosen xubuntu :) [13:03] In Unity there's a glitch where the Mac OS X Dock like thing won't hide. [13:04] "I've heard X uses more RAM than Z" is a kind of arbitrary claim. Linux in general uses all the available RAM anyway, and comparing results on different machines is useless [13:04] Myrtti: right [13:05] Myrtti: Why can't you say "BAD Linux! Only use 128 MB of RAM and no more!" [13:05] well, not exactly all the available RAM... but it releases it differently to other OS's [13:06] LABcrab: ... errr... [13:06] LABcrab: then what exactly would be the point of having more than 128MB of RAM? [13:07] Myrtti: Like if you want a virtual pc. [13:07] then it will always freeze when you reach the 128MB [13:08] Aww is that why sometimes it has a swap but it's very slow and the hard drive makes a lot of noise? [13:08] !ram [13:08] If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [13:16] Windows 7 like Linux buffers as much as is need RAM to better perfomance of system. At start my Xubuntu use 237 MB, but after I start work with FF and LO it increse to 500 MB actually used and 1GB buffered. Same is on Windows 7 :) [14:12] One of the post from xfce mailing list: [14:12] I really appreciate this suggestion. I hadn't even thought of lightdm, so now I have a little chore to do this afternoon. [14:12] ;-) [14:12] Thank you for the information, and thank you and all others involved in the project for this terrific desktop environment. [14:12] :) [14:12] xD [14:12] :D === marius is now known as Guest92535 [15:38] where read news about xubuntu? [15:38] http://xubuntu.org [15:39] It nothing news [15:39] We don't put out too much about it, really [15:40] left column, latest news [15:40] That is the news about Xubuntu [15:41] It slow update [15:42] Macnonot, you can follow the developer mailing list (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel) and the #xubuntu-devel IRC channel, if you want more recent "news" [15:42] and the community meeting, too [15:43] that too, but the minutes are posted to the mailing list too [15:43] And remember that a lot of the 'core' things that happen in Ubuntu are applicable to Xubuntu and the other derivatives. [15:43] Um [15:45] thank [16:06] a dog that barks a lot doesn't bite [17:06] hello... [17:07] can someone hel me with a library? [17:08] what sort of help are you looking for? [17:11] hu this is my first times with xubuntu... I need "libgtk-1.2.so.0" but I can't find it... [17:11] are you compiling something? [17:12] !details | Synlu [17:12] Synlu: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [17:13] I need that for an emulator called epsxe... [17:13] "error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory " [17:15] what version of system? Xubuntu 11.04 64bit or another? [17:16] there's some discussion of epsxe and libgtk-1.2 at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1499435 [17:20] I think I'm running xubuntu 11.04 32bit [17:20] and the link in that discussion give me an error [17:21] yeah, I'm looking at that now. [17:22] libgtk1.2 is apparently an old package and not available in recent Ubuntu or Debian releases. [17:22] so the forum discussion recommended getting it from an older Ubuntu release (Jaunty), but that release has been end-of-lifed. [17:23] there's another forum discussion that recommends getting it from Hardy, which is still available. [17:23] http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libgtk1.2 [17:23] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1468422 [17:29] I downloaded it... but.... "error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" [17:31] which one did you download? the amd64 one or the i386 one? [17:33] amd64... i386 one gives me an error... but I think I could use gdebi [17:34] sorry, I have to sign off--the plumbing has suddenly started making worrying noises [17:58] hi can anyone help me out?

Now, it doesn't even recognize my network card. I have a thinkpad t410 2516-CTO machine. Can anyone help? [18:05] repeating doesn't help [18:05] Apparently, no one here has an answeer [18:06] rebooted? (more than once) [18:06] i've rebooted and have installed all of the updates [18:10] hello, it seems after I've re-enabled pidgin's tray icon, the indicator-messages icon has disappeared for good. Is this a common problem? [18:11] steinem: what have you been using for network control? wicd? Network Manager? [18:13] and what does lshw report? [18:14] psalden: I haven't heard of it before. What happens when you disable pidgin's tray icon and restart? [18:15] charlie-tca: it remains 'gone' :) [18:16] funny thing is, there does seem to be some left-over of the icon. A blank space in the tray I can move using right click [18:16] oh and re-installing indicator-messages didn't help either [18:18] Can you file a bug for that using ubuntu-bug xfce4-indicator-plugin please? [18:20] Xubuntu community meeting in #xubuntu-devel in 40 minutes. Everyone is invited to attend. Agenda is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Meetings [18:24] charlie-tca: I will do, thanks [19:22] Whenever I leave Xubuntu 11.04 x64 idle for some time it slows to a crawl. Everything is slow and I have to try to do lots of things to make it speed up again. This has happened on several different PCs. [19:23] installed system, not live-cd/usb? [19:23] Yup [19:24] cgtdk: when it does slow down, open a terminal, type 'top' into it and see what takes most of the cpu time [19:25] cgtdk: then press 'OO' (two times capital O) and see what takes most of the memory [19:25] cgtdk: thats 'OO enter' [19:25] TheSheep: Alright. Will leave the system idle for some minutes and do it. [19:26] cgtdk: you can open the terminal now to speed things up later :) [20:37] hello hwo is the minimum memory need to run xubuntu? [20:37] it runs with 256mb but better to have 512 [20:43] ok thanks [22:47] Hmm, I can't seem to find a "make executable" option when I right click files [22:48] chmod +x? [22:48] Usually I just right click > properties, and it's an option in a drop down box [22:48] xunubi, properties -> tab permissions -> check "allow this file to run as a program" [22:50] the permissions tab just has access rights (all set to read+write) ...there is nothing for "allow file to run as program" [22:53] xunubi, which xubuntu version? [22:53] I'm running XFCE 4.8.0 and Thunar 1.2.1 [22:53] 11.04 [22:54] xunubi, well, i do have that checkbox... [22:55] knome: I've tried on various other items, inside .wine and outside, no difference, option simply isn't there. [22:55] knome: Oddly, I do not in X11.04 [22:56] But I opened with my alt file manager and I did... Alright I'm a little confused (Same file) [22:57] Is it possible to run Nautilus with xubuntu 11.04 ? [22:57] I think it only displays it for some file types [22:57] xunubi, yes, but that's not just as easy as that. [22:57] possible, i check with an .sh file [22:57] knome: probably the lazy way anyway, this is puzzling. [22:57] for example, it displays it for .py files, but not for .pyc [22:58] (even though you can normally run .pyc files too) [22:59] knome: so grabbing nautilus from synaptic would likely result in a big headache on my part? :p [22:59] xunubi, well, nautilus will always steal the desktop unless you run it with --no-desktop [22:59] xunubi, that's the biggest downside. and it's heavy. [23:00] xunubi, you probably don't need to make files executable SO OFTEN that you really want to drag all that stuff in just for that. [23:00] If you REALLY want to, you could try pcmanfm :/ [23:00] 'chmod +x filename' in terminal works anyway. [23:01] knome: true, could just script it. [23:04] Could not having "xfce4-goodies" have anything to do with it? [23:06] i don't think so [23:06] but then again i'm not sure [23:07] Just installed, will try now, then reboot and try again, at least then you know for the next nubbie who strolls by ;) [23:11] Makes no difference, running thunar from terminal as root also does not make a difference, weird. [23:25] chmod +x doesn't work [23:25] my computer hates me today [23:27] sudo in front of it? sudo chmod +x filename ? [23:28] was root anyways (sudo su) [23:29] but thanks for the suggestion, that does trip me up, more often than I'd like to admit :p [23:29] me too [23:30] This is the only issue I've found with XFCE since I switched over from Gnome, and I really don't want to have to go back to it, so slow by comparison. [23:36] Here is what I get on the permissions tab. http://i55.tinypic.com/34otqnn.png [23:40] If you can not change permissions in terminal using chmod, thunar will not do it either, and probably not nautilus, either. [23:43] xunubi: so, you are trying to run something [23:43] that should be running with wine [23:43] better of making a launcher that invokes wine [23:43] with that path [23:43] :) [23:45] oh lol, thunar does not offer to make launchers either :D:D [23:45] You can do that with a custom actions, though [23:46] although why you want a launcher in thunar is beyond me :) [23:46] :D [23:46] i used to always make launchers [23:46] for scrips [23:46] just create a desktop launcher [23:46] yep [23:46] im making one for this guy atm [23:46] easier than creating a launcher in thunar [23:47] http://pastebin.madnick.se/paste.php?id=4e52ea86bfd89 [23:48] xunubi: See above URL, just create a launcher on the desktop [23:51] charlie-tca: Thanks for the link but it does not translate to the GUI I have when selecting "Create Launcher" [23:53] charlie-tca: here is what I get http://i51.tinypic.com/qnn49h.png [23:54] xunubi: paste your "command" [23:54] Everything is right. Just put what is on line 5 in "command: [23:54] your entire command :) [23:54] since it is a launcher, it doesn't need to be set executable [23:57] when I click that launcher, it opens my web browser, with 5 tabs, trying to go to chmod +x lol [23:57] xunubi: please paste your entire command [23:59] madnick: can't right click the launcher to c+p the line, it launches, can't select properties, it is ghosted out on main toolbar, something seriously broken here.
