[00:01] <xubuntu379> lots of people and no conversation
[00:07] <psycho_oreos> lots of people except for one impatient person who probably likes to find someone and put a leash on
[00:20] <patrice> hi
[00:22] <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
[00:23] <patrice> i can't create a file anymore from the desktop
[00:23] <patrice> why?
[00:27] <patrice> please
[00:28] <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
[00:29] <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
[00:30] <patrice> to remove thunar? ok thanks
[00:31] <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
[00:32] <patrice> i reboot
[00:38] <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 ?
[00:46] <patrice> ok, now it's worse
[00:47] <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?
[00:51] <patrice> ??? It came back LOL
[00:51] <patrice> xubuntu is quite a mess...
[00:52] <jbrouhard> oO
[00:53] <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
[00:55] <patrice> ok, another problem
[00:55] <patrice> when i start my machine, it ask me if i want to mount a disk
[00:56] <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
[00:57] <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/
[00:58] <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...
[00:59] <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
[01:00] <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
[01:01] <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
[01:02] <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
[01:03] <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
[01:04] <jbrouhard> and not leaving documentation
[01:05] <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
[01:06] <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.
[01:07] <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
[01:08] <jbrouhard> lol.. yeah
[07:24] <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
[07:26] <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
[07:27] <Sysi> it also should do that when you set it to lock.. can be some bug with acpi power managment or something
[07:28] <inaety> when i have it to do nothing, it will turn off for a few minutes and then come back on by itself
[07:29] <inaety> under extended, set monitor sleep mode to "suspend" actual might work
[07:29] <inaety> im pretty sure standby would keep it on
[13:22] <vixus> Gah, why has ubuntu gone down this path of removing customisability?
[13:23] <vixus> can't even get rid of the awful GDM look.
[13:27] <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
[13:34] <charlie-tca> um, ubuntu support is in #ubuntu
[13:37] <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?
[13:38] <vixus> Ah, but it's happened all across the board :D
[13:38] <charlie-tca> What release of Xubuntu are you using
[13:39] <charlie-tca> no, it hasn't. Xubuntu has not removed most of the options in many releases
[13:42] <vixus> the latest
[13:42] <vixus> stable
[13:43] <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
[13:44] <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
[13:50] <vixus> am i able to edit the right-click menu?
[13:50] <vixus> or does  it have to duplicate the main menu?
[13:51] <charlie-tca> It is a duplicate
[13:52] <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
[13:53] <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
[13:54] <vixus> that sounds good
[13:55] <vixus> maybe i should have waited before installing this then :/
[13:57] <charlie-tca> You can upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 when it releases in October
[13:57] <vixus> yeah
[14:11] <xubuntu584> hi habe ein paar fregen

[14:14] <charlie-tca> That is a common problem.
[14:14] <xubuntu584> is there a wrong network-driver
[14:14] <xubuntu584> ?
[14:14] <charlie-tca> No, it is probably network manager not working right
[14:15] <xubuntu584> oooh damned
[14:15] <xubuntu584> how can i fix the problem?
[14:16] <charlie-tca> I wish I knew that answer
[14:16] <xubuntu584> ok
