[00:01] lots of people and no conversation [00:07] lots of people except for one impatient person who probably likes to find someone and put a leash on [00:20] hi [00:22] 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] i can't create a file anymore from the desktop [00:23] why? [00:27] please [00:28] 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] patrice your window manager [00:28] ok, but i like to create files on my desktop and then i move them [00:28] window manager? [00:28] change your window manager with nautilus [00:29] how to? [00:29] sudo apt-get install nautilus [00:29] sudo apt-get autoremove thunar && sudo apt-get autoremove thunar-data [00:30] to remove thunar? ok thanks [00:31] i have another problem with a mounted disk [00:31] xfce4-settings-manager -> preferred applications -> select the right tab and where you see thunar there select nautilus [00:31] then reboot [00:32] i reboot [00:38] So I run mongo; [00:38] hello, how do I change which browser the icon in my panel opens? [00:38] *** warning: spider monkey build without utf8 support. consider rebuilding with utf8 support [00:38] why, in 2011, would you leave out UTF8 ? [00:46] ok, now it's worse [00:47] i don't have desktop anymore [00:47] no icons, no menus on right click [00:47] * industrial bails [00:47] are you here SaaMmY? [00:51] ??? It came back LOL [00:51] xubuntu is quite a mess... [00:52] oO [00:53] 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] That's been plaguing me for the last few weeks [00:53] happens every other day [00:55] ok, another problem [00:55] when i start my machine, it ask me if i want to mount a disk [00:56] then it fails [00:56] jbrouhard: check in /var/log. By examining the log files, you can determine what is causing the increases and maybe even why? [00:56] Been there, done that [00:57] virtually NOTHING in there that tells me any indication of increase in files [00:57] it seems to be coming from .gvfs [00:57] and i have a disk mounted icon on the desktop. I click on it and it put me an error [00:57] You say the file increase happens every couple of days/ [00:58] When you restart the space is back? [00:58] No [00:58] arf... now i can't create a launcher on my desktop [00:58] Only get the space back when i start deleting in .gvfs [00:58] now i can create a file but not a launcher [00:58] such a mess that linux... [00:59] patrice seems to be running nautilaus without adding --no-desktop [00:59] lol [00:59] and not very patient either [00:59] agreed [01:00] 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] What are you deleting in .gvfs? [01:00] Was a folder that mounted to a remote file server [01:01] doesn't delete anything on the remote server [01:01] Sounds like continous file creations from there [01:01] but every once in a while, it, for some reason, re-mounts in there and suddenly it counts towards my disk space [01:01] yeah.. [01:01] Why ? [01:01] Have you filed a bug on it? [01:01] is that an xfce bug or something with the file manager ? [01:01] actually no [01:01] it doesn't replicate on my laptop [01:01] just on my desktop [01:01] don't know. Mine is empty, but I use ssh-fuse to mount remote folders [01:02] hehe [01:02] i mount via samba.. [01:02] Mostly cause it's a NAS [01:02] mine is more because I been doing it for three years [01:03] and it works for me [01:03] * charlie-tca thinks "works for me" is a big item [01:03] yes. it is [01:03] tho i wish people would stop applying that kind of thinking to systems management [01:04] and not leaving documentation [01:05] I am going to suggest the next time .gvfs fills up, you file a bug using ubuntu-bug gvfs [01:05] thanks [01:05] I'll remember that [01:05] Yeah, I agree on docs [01:05] That thought really fails with them [01:06] Well i'm a systems admin [01:06] i use documentation for just about EVERYTHING [01:06] I can see where "lack of docs" would cause issues [01:06] sadly my current employers' sysadmin did NOT do that.. and I'm having to do everything blindly. [01:07] The other side of that is what I have been seeing lately, with the "no one reads the docs" [01:07] lol [01:07] Even worse trying to pick things up that were never documented [01:08] lol.. yeah [07:24] 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] right click on power manager panel applet → preferences [07:26] the option for laptop lid is closed is lock screen [07:26] and that keeps the screen on [07:26] if you set it to "do nothing" it should turn it of [07:26] *off [07:27] it also should do that when you set it to lock.. can be some bug with acpi power managment or something [07:28] when i have it to do nothing, it will turn off for a few minutes and then come back on by itself [07:29] under extended, set monitor sleep mode to "suspend" actual might work [07:29] im pretty sure standby would keep it on [13:22] Gah, why has ubuntu gone down this path of removing customisability? [13:23] can't even get rid of the awful GDM look. [13:27] and how do i set focus on mouse hover? [13:27] it used to be in Mouse or Window Manager Tweaks I think [13:34] um, ubuntu support is in #ubuntu [13:37] charlie-tca, that would be great if I was using ubuntu :) [13:37] and not xubuntu [13:37] Then you should be specific. [13:37] vixus | Gah, why has ubuntu gone down this path of removing customisability? [13:38] Ah, but it's happened all across the board :D [13:38] What release of Xubuntu are you using [13:39] no, it hasn't. Xubuntu has not removed most of the options in many releases [13:42] the latest [13:42] stable [13:43] I think when GDM got updated it removed most of the customisability (GNOME's fault, not xubuntu's) [13:43] so i should probably go whine in #gnome [13:44] correct [13:44] as to focus, Menu -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Window Manager, focus tab, focus follows mouse is still there [13:44] ah, that's grand [13:50] am i able to edit the right-click menu? [13:50] or does it have to duplicate the main menu? [13:51] It is a duplicate [13:52] well, in fact I used to have it so that right click directly opened the applications menu and not the desktop one.. [13:52] but I'm not sure how I did it.. [13:52] Yes, that was before Xfce 4.8 [13:52] ah ok [13:53] 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] that sounds good [13:55] maybe i should have waited before installing this then :/ [13:57] You can upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 when it releases in October [13:57] yeah [14:11] hi habe ein paar fregen [14:11] fragen [14:11] und zwar sucht mein netbook nicht mehr nach WLan accesspoints [14:12] muss alles manuell einggeben werden was kann man da machen? [14:12] Can you use English, please? [14:12] !german [14:12] In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis!

[14:14] is there a wrong network-driver [14:14] ? [14:14] No, it is probably network manager not working right [14:15] oooh damned [14:15] how can i fix the problem?
