| patrice | hi | 00:20 |
| patrice | I have a problem. I have xubuntu last version and when i right click on the desktop and click on new-> file, nothing happens | 00:22 |
| patrice | i can't create a file anymore from the desktop | 00:23 |
| patrice | why? | 00:23 |
| patrice | please | 00:27 |
| BlueEagle | I was going to say it was because having files on your desktop instead of a proper folder structure is stupid, but then I realized it may be not helpful. :/ | 00:28 |
| SaaMmY | patrice your window manager | 00:28 |
| patrice | ok, but i like to create files on my desktop and then i move them | 00:28 |
| patrice | window manager? | 00:28 |
| SaaMmY | change your window manager with nautilus | 00:28 |
| patrice | how to? | 00:29 |
| SaaMmY | sudo apt-get install nautilus | 00:29 |
| SaaMmY | sudo apt-get autoremove thunar && sudo apt-get autoremove thunar-data | 00:29 |
| patrice | to remove thunar? ok thanks | 00:30 |
| patrice | i have another problem with a mounted disk | 00:31 |
| SaaMmY | xfce4-settings-manager -> preferred applications -> select the right tab and where you see thunar there select nautilus | 00:31 |
| SaaMmY | then reboot | 00:31 |
| patrice | i reboot | 00:32 |
| industrial | So I run mongo; | 00:38 |
| riddlebox | hello, how do I change which browser the icon in my panel opens? | 00:38 |
| industrial | *** warning: spider monkey build without utf8 support. consider rebuilding with utf8 support | 00:38 |
| industrial | why, in 2011, would you leave out UTF8 ? | 00:38 |
| patrice | ok, now it's worse | 00:46 |
| patrice | i don't have desktop anymore | 00:47 |
| patrice | no icons, no menus on right click | 00:47 |
| * industrial bails | 00:47 | |
| patrice | are you here SaaMmY? | 00:47 |
| patrice | ??? It came back LOL | 00:51 |
| patrice | xubuntu is quite a mess... | 00:51 |
| jbrouhard | oO | 00:52 |
| jbrouhard | Anyone ever have a situation where their file system goes from 40gb used to 145gb used in a matter of an hour and you did nothing (Other than crash pidgin) ?? (Drive is a 150GB SATA) | 00:53 |
| jbrouhard | That's been plaguing me for the last few weeks | 00:53 |
| jbrouhard | happens every other day | 00:53 |
| patrice | ok, another problem | 00:55 |
| patrice | when i start my machine, it ask me if i want to mount a disk | 00:55 |
| patrice | then it fails | 00:56 |
| charlie-tca | jbrouhard: check in /var/log. By examining the log files, you can determine what is causing the increases and maybe even why? | 00:56 |
| jbrouhard | Been there, done that | 00:56 |
| jbrouhard | virtually NOTHING in there that tells me any indication of increase in files | 00:57 |
| jbrouhard | it seems to be coming from .gvfs | 00:57 |
| patrice | and i have a disk mounted icon on the desktop. I click on it and it put me an error | 00:57 |
| charlie-tca | You say the file increase happens every couple of days/ | 00:57 |
| charlie-tca | When you restart the space is back? | 00:58 |
| jbrouhard | No | 00:58 |
| patrice | arf... now i can't create a launcher on my desktop | 00:58 |
| jbrouhard | Only get the space back when i start deleting in .gvfs | 00:58 |
| patrice | now i can create a file but not a launcher | 00:58 |
| patrice | such a mess that linux... | 00:58 |
| charlie-tca | patrice seems to be running nautilaus without adding --no-desktop | 00:59 |
| jbrouhard | lol | 00:59 |
| jbrouhard | and not very patient either | 00:59 |
| charlie-tca | agreed | 00:59 |
| charlie-tca | They were told earlier it there was a bug in Xfce causing the inablility to create a file, but didn't like that answer. | 01:00 |
| charlie-tca | What are you deleting in .gvfs? | 01:00 |
| jbrouhard | Was a folder that mounted to a remote file server | 01:00 |
| jbrouhard | doesn't delete anything on the remote server | 01:01 |
| charlie-tca | Sounds like continous file creations from there | 01:01 |
| jbrouhard | but every once in a while, it, for some reason, re-mounts in there and suddenly it counts towards my disk space | 01:01 |
| jbrouhard | yeah.. | 01:01 |
| jbrouhard | Why ? | 01:01 |
| charlie-tca | Have you filed a bug on it? | 01:01 |
| jbrouhard | is that an xfce bug or something with the file manager ? | 01:01 |
| jbrouhard | actually no | 01:01 |
| jbrouhard | it doesn't replicate on my laptop | 01:01 |
| jbrouhard | just on my desktop | 01:01 |
| charlie-tca | don't know. Mine is empty, but I use ssh-fuse to mount remote folders | 01:01 |
| jbrouhard | hehe | 01:02 |
| jbrouhard | i mount via samba.. | 01:02 |
| jbrouhard | Mostly cause it's a NAS | 01:02 |
| charlie-tca | mine is more because I been doing it for three years | 01:02 |
| charlie-tca | and it works for me | 01:03 |
| * charlie-tca thinks "works for me" is a big item | 01:03 | |
| jbrouhard | yes. it is | 01:03 |
| jbrouhard | tho i wish people would stop applying that kind of thinking to systems management | 01:03 |
| jbrouhard | and not leaving documentation | 01:04 |
| charlie-tca | I am going to suggest the next time .gvfs fills up, you file a bug using ubuntu-bug gvfs | 01:05 |
| jbrouhard | thanks | 01:05 |
| jbrouhard | I'll remember that | 01:05 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, I agree on docs | 01:05 |
| charlie-tca | That thought really fails with them | 01:05 |
| jbrouhard | Well i'm a systems admin | 01:06 |
| jbrouhard | i use documentation for just about EVERYTHING | 01:06 |
| charlie-tca | I can see where "lack of docs" would cause issues | 01:06 |
| jbrouhard | sadly my current employers' sysadmin did NOT do that.. and I'm having to do everything blindly. | 01:06 |
| charlie-tca | The other side of that is what I have been seeing lately, with the "no one reads the docs" | 01:07 |
| jbrouhard | lol | 01:07 |
| charlie-tca | Even worse trying to pick things up that were never documented | 01:07 |
| jbrouhard | lol.. yeah | 01:08 |
| inaety | Hi I have a laptop with xubuntu installed. I'm trying to configure it such that when I close the laptop while plugged in will only turn off the screen | 07:24 |
| Sysi | right click on power manager panel applet → preferences | 07:26 |
| inaety | the option for laptop lid is closed is lock screen | 07:26 |
| inaety | and that keeps the screen on | 07:26 |
| Sysi | if you set it to "do nothing" it should turn it of | 07:26 |
| Sysi | *off | 07:26 |
| Sysi | it also should do that when you set it to lock.. can be some bug with acpi power managment or something | 07:27 |
| inaety | when i have it to do nothing, it will turn off for a few minutes and then come back on by itself | 07:28 |
| inaety | under extended, set monitor sleep mode to "suspend" actual might work | 07:29 |
| inaety | im pretty sure standby would keep it on | 07:29 |
| vixus | Gah, why has ubuntu gone down this path of removing customisability? | 13:22 |
| vixus | can't even get rid of the awful GDM look. | 13:23 |
| vixus | and how do i set focus on mouse hover? | 13:27 |
| vixus | it used to be in Mouse or Window Manager Tweaks I think | 13:27 |
| charlie-tca | um, ubuntu support is in #ubuntu | 13:34 |
| vixus | charlie-tca, that would be great if I was using ubuntu :) | 13:37 |
| vixus | and not xubuntu | 13:37 |
| charlie-tca | Then you should be specific. | 13:37 |
| charlie-tca | vixus | Gah, why has ubuntu gone down this path of removing customisability? | 13:37 |
| vixus | Ah, but it's happened all across the board :D | 13:38 |
| charlie-tca | What release of Xubuntu are you using | 13:38 |
| charlie-tca | no, it hasn't. Xubuntu has not removed most of the options in many releases | 13:39 |
| vixus | the latest | 13:42 |
| vixus | stable | 13:42 |
| vixus | I think when GDM got updated it removed most of the customisability (GNOME's fault, not xubuntu's) | 13:43 |
| vixus | so i should probably go whine in #gnome | 13:43 |
| charlie-tca | correct | 13:44 |
| charlie-tca | as to focus, Menu -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Window Manager, focus tab, focus follows mouse is still there | 13:44 |
| vixus | ah, that's grand | 13:44 |
| vixus | am i able to edit the right-click menu? | 13:50 |
| vixus | or does it have to duplicate the main menu? | 13:50 |
| charlie-tca | It is a duplicate | 13:51 |
| vixus | well, in fact I used to have it so that right click directly opened the applications menu and not the desktop one.. | 13:52 |
| vixus | but I'm not sure how I did it.. | 13:52 |
| charlie-tca | Yes, that was before Xfce 4.8 | 13:52 |
| vixus | ah ok | 13:52 |
| charlie-tca | as for GDM, we have replaced it in oneiric with lightdm, which is much easier to customize, for both the developer and the user | 13:53 |
| vixus | that sounds good | 13:54 |
| vixus | maybe i should have waited before installing this then :/ | 13:55 |
| charlie-tca | You can upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 when it releases in October | 13:57 |
| vixus | yeah | 13:57 |
