| Anom01y | hi, I have Xubuntu 10.04 installed, after doing all the updates the bootsplash is now a blurry mess. is there a way to change the bootplash or restore it ? | 04:03 |
| redspike | hi all, is there any application like "ubuntu-tweak" for application/repository installation that works on xubuntu ? | 10:14 |
| xubuntusnoopy | xubuntu is veeeery fast | 10:18 |
| charlie-tca | !ubuntu-tweak | 12:21 |
| XubuntuKris | Anybody know how to get xchat to switch to another screen when opening a url in a browser, instead of bringing the browser window to my current screen? | 12:59 |
| charlie-tca | Window Manager Tweaks, Focus gives two options, one to switch to the opening apps window, one to bring that app to the current window. | 13:01 |
| charlie-tca | It won't move xchat to the browser window, but you could set it to not move the browser to the current screen | 13:02 |
| XubuntuKris | Thanks. That's exactly what I'm looking for. | 13:02 |
| redspike | charlie-tca: ubuntu-tweak dosent work in xubuntu 11.04 ? get some error when starting it about sudo . | 13:03 |
| charlie-tca | I don't use ubuntu-tweak, myself | 13:06 |
| charlie-tca | I have no idea what it does, actually | 13:06 |
| charlie-tca | I set repositories in Synaptic Package Manager | 13:06 |
| charlie-tca | click on Settings, Repositories | 13:07 |
| hylian | is there a keyboard shortcut for changing desktops in xfce? (workspaces) | 14:31 |
| madnick | hylian: ctrl+alt+arrow key | 14:31 |
| Pici | hylian: Does ctrl-alt left/right not work? | 14:31 |
| hylian | Yes it does, thank you! | 14:32 |
| hylian | madnick, Pici, it works perfect! I really don't need the workspaces switcher on the top very often, so I wanted to remove it, thanks! | 14:33 |
| knome | hylian, you can always just scroll on the wallpaper with mouse | 14:34 |
| Pici | hylian: you can also use that to 'drag' windows to other desktops by pressing the shift key at the same time. | 14:34 |
| knome | Pici, no need to press shift in xubuntu :) | 14:34 |
| knome | at least iirc, that's the default (no need for shift) | 14:34 |
| Pici | knome: Then how else would you specify that you wanted to bring a window with you to the next desktop? | 14:35 |
| knome | Pici, just drag it to the edge | 14:35 |
| knome | (and over) | 14:35 |
| Pici | knome: No, I mean using ctrl+alt+shift+arrow | 14:35 |
| knome | Pici, ah, yes. true with the keycombo | 14:36 |
| knome | i thought of dragging with mouse | 14:36 |
| Pici | knome: sorry, thats why I said 'dragging' in quotes ;) | 14:36 |
| knome | np | 14:36 |
| hylian | I would like to say that since I decided to escape the gnome 3 / unity options a month ago, I have not been dissapointed. xfce 4 is awesome. | 14:36 |
| pteague_work | any ideas as to why i can't get alt+enter to work in firefox? looking in settings -> keyboard -> application shortcuts there's nothing listed for alt+enter | 15:12 |
| Pici | pteague_work: What is alt+enter supposed to do? | 15:13 |
| pteague_work | alt+enter from urlbar is supposed to open the url in a new tab... which it's done for quite a long time - http://lifehacker.com/399252/alt%252Benter-to-open-a-typed-url-in-a-new-tab | 15:14 |
| charlie-tca | You should not need a shortcut in keyboard for firefox, that is an application specific shortcut defined in firefox itself | 15:18 |
| hylian | charlie-tca, i think pteague_work wants to know how to set it up via firefox, or in firefox... | 15:20 |
| charlie-tca | I would say ask mozilla, or macworld, which is what the article references | 15:21 |
| pteague_work | charlie-tca, yes, i realize that... i wanted to point out i had already checked to see if there was some global shortcut that might be overriding it or something | 15:21 |
| charlie-tca | ah, got it | 15:21 |
| Pici | I looked in about:config here on windows, didn't see anything relevant, perhaps you'd hav better luck? | 15:22 |
| charlie-tca | I don't really know if that is valid in the current firefox versions. | 15:22 |
| charlie-tca | That article is three years old. A lot has changed in firefox since then | 15:22 |
| madnick | alt+enter works fine here | 15:22 |
| charlie-tca | madnick: firefox version? | 15:22 |
| madnick | It works like this: you type an URL, then press alt+enter and it opens in a new tab | 15:23 |
| pteague_work | i did find https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/246236 so i know others have had the issue before... although i don't know if that is due to some global shortcut overriding it or not | 15:23 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 246236 in firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) "alt-enter doesn't work anymore in Ubuntu/Linux" [Undecided,Invalid] | 15:23 |
| madnick | charlie-tca: 6 | 15:23 |
| Pici | FF3 is a bit old.. | 15:23 |
| charlie-tca | pteague_work: which version are you using? | 15:23 |
| pteague_work | alt+enter worked fine up until i updated to 6 i believe | 15:24 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe it is one of those things that only works typing the url, instead of pasting or something? | 15:24 |
| genii-around | http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts seems to indicate that emacs shortcuts can also conflict with the ones in Firefox | 15:24 |
| charlie-tca | pteague_work: see above: madnick says it works in 6 for him | 15:24 |
| hylian | pteague_work, i am runnign xubuntu 11.04 with firefox 6, and alt enter works here... i don't know what to say | 15:25 |
| pteague_work | genii-around, thanks, i'll dig through that & see... although if that is the case, how do i disable gnome shortcuts in xfce? ;) | 15:25 |
| charlie-tca | Got to be something else interferring with it then | 15:26 |
| genii-around | pteague_work: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Emacs_Keybindings_%28Firefox%29 looks possibly useful in this | 15:26 |
| pteague_work | actually... http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts#w_navigation states alt+enter for "Open Address in New Tab" from location bar or search bar... i'm noticing it works from search bar, but not in url bar which is where i need it | 15:27 |
| hylian | pteague_work, i just used it though in the url bar. (im too old fashioned to use the nice search bar, i just go back to google the old fashioned way...) | 15:29 |
| pteague_work | hylian, heh, same on the search bar | 15:29 |
| pteague_work | plus in a lot of cases i'm slightly modifying the url & opening multiple tabs to check different pages during development | 15:34 |
| hylian | pteague_work, this is probably something you have done already, but just try it going to google.com... | 15:35 |
| pteague_work | nope, alt+enter still acts like i just pressed enter | 15:36 |
| pteague_work | unless i do it specifically in the search box | 15:36 |
| pteague_work | https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201011 | 15:38 |
| ubottu | Mozilla bug 201011 in Keyboard: Navigation "custom key bindings no longer possible" [Major,New: ] | 15:38 |
| pteague_work | oops, that's mozilla, nm | 15:38 |
| hylian | pteague_work, strange... could this be somehow a problem cause by an addon? | 15:41 |
| pteague_work | could be, but i'm not aware of any of the ones i use using alt+enter for anything... | 15:42 |
| genii-around | Have you tried with -safe-mode to see? | 15:51 |
| hylian | pteague_work, sorry, wish i was more fluent with firefox, but for me, firefox has been a "it just works" solution since 6. i used to use chrome because of how buggy firefox was with flash, but even that problem is gone now for me, sorry. :( | 15:58 |
| pteague_work | found the plugin... which means i need to dig through it & figure out why it's messing with that - http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14487 | 16:03 |
| pteague_work | hylian, buggy flash? are you on 64bit? | 16:04 |
| hylian | pteague_work, no. | 16:05 |
| pteague_work | ah, that was my problem with flash... the 32bit wrapper was crap... there's finally now a ppa for 64bit flash | 16:06 |
| === i_ is now known as Guest31713 | ||
| Guest31713 | hi, i am having trouble trying to make the keyboard switch to greek from us and vice versa, can anyone please help? | 17:20 |
| Guest31713 | and for some reason i don't have a xorg.conf file...! | 17:23 |
| ruby90 | hi, doe anyone know a real (not like http://superuser.com/questions/155758/how-to-change-keyboard-layout-change-shortcut-in-xubuntu) fix for switching keyboard layouts? | 19:00 |
| ruby90 | anyone.....? | 19:02 |
| ruby90 | so xfce can't handle keyboard switching...? | 19:08 |
| Sysi | whats wrong with that, bind that command to some hotkey in xfce keyboard settings | 19:08 |
| Sysi | or you can try keyboard switching panel applet, though it has been buggy | 19:08 |
| ruby90 | thank you | 19:08 |
| XubuntuKris | thunar doesn't seem to recognize my home directory, keeps throwing an error saying "host is down" | 19:15 |
| XubuntuKris | wtf? | 19:15 |
| ruby90 | though it's not a proper way to do things | 19:15 |
| XubuntuKris | Anyone know what's going on. | 19:15 |
| XubuntuKris | Nobody? | 19:23 |
| XubuntuKris | The problem started after installing a font and running the command "sudo fc-cache -f" | 19:25 |
| TheSheep | XubuntuKris: do you have any free space left in your home? | 19:26 |
| XubuntuKris | Yeah, tons | 19:26 |
| XubuntuKris | but I can't get to it at all | 19:26 |
| XubuntuKris | tells me that the "host is down" | 19:27 |
| TheSheep | XubuntuKris: can you get to other directories? | 19:27 |
| XubuntuKris | Yes, Every other directory is accessible, including directories inside my home directory (desktop, etc) | 19:27 |
| TheSheep | XubuntuKris: did you maybe mount some directory using samba? | 19:28 |
| TheSheep | XubuntuKris: what if you start thunar in your home directory from a terminal? | 19:28 |
| XubuntuKris | it's telling me that it cant open the home directory because the samba directory host is down. | 19:29 |
| XubuntuKris | how do I open home directory from terminal | 19:29 |
| TheSheep | XubuntuKris: 1. open terminal, 2. type 'thunar' and press enter | 19:30 |
| XubuntuKris | duh.lol | 19:31 |
| XubuntuKris | still loading, it never takes this long to load | 19:31 |
| TheSheep | XubuntuKris: ok, open another terminal, type 'mount' and pastebin what it says | 19:32 |
| TheSheep | you probably have some samba share mounted at your home by mistake | 19:32 |
| XubuntuKris | but it was opening fine earlier | 19:33 |
| XubuntuKris | like I said, it only did this after installing a font and running "sudo fc-cache -f" | 19:33 |
| TheSheep | that command couldn't have caused this | 19:34 |
| XubuntuKris | Idk, cause it was opening fine earlier today. | 19:34 |
| TheSheep | how did you install the font, with the software center? | 19:34 |
| TheSheep | maybe earlier today the windows host from which you monted the directory was available | 19:34 |
| TheSheep | mounted* | 19:34 |
| TheSheep | anyways, please pastebin the result of a 'mount' command and we will see what's wrong | 19:35 |
| XubuntuKris | http://pastebin.com/Zn4J82mU | 19:37 |
| XubuntuKris | There you go. | 19:38 |
| TheSheep | //JOHNSON-PC/Ozzwin/ on /home/kristopher/ozzwin type cifs (rw,mand) | 19:38 |
| TheSheep | yup | 19:38 |
| TheSheep | try this command: 'unmount /home/kristopher/ozzwin' | 19:39 |
| TheSheep | sorry | 19:39 |
| TheSheep | that's 'umount /home/kristopher/ozzwin' | 19:39 |
| TheSheep | without 'n' | 19:39 |
| XubuntuKris | umount: /home/kristopher/ozzwin mount disagrees with the fstab | 19:40 |
| TheSheep | fun | 19:40 |
| XubuntuKris | fun? | 19:40 |
| TheSheep | did you use giggolo? | 19:40 |
| XubuntuKris | use it for what? | 19:40 |
| TheSheep | maybe try unmounting that directory in gigolo | 19:40 |
| TheSheep | if you used it to mount it | 19:40 |
| XubuntuKris | I don't think I used gigolo to mount it. | 19:41 |
| TheSheep | you have a network directory mounted as /home/kristopher/ozzwin from a computer that is not available anymore | 19:41 |
| TheSheep | that computer is JOHNSON-PC | 19:41 |
| TheSheep | it tries to access it an times out, that's why it doesn't work | 19:42 |
| TheSheep | how did you mount that directory? | 19:42 |
| XubuntuKris | but the computer is available. Everything is up and running fine | 19:42 |
| XubuntuKris | Oh shit, we had a power outtage this morning. | 19:42 |
| XubuntuKris | maybe if I reset my network? | 19:42 |
| TheSheep | I would just unmount that directory | 19:43 |
| TheSheep | but no idea how you mounted it | 19:43 |
| XubuntuKris | gigolo won't unmount it | 19:43 |
| TheSheep | I hate samba :( | 19:43 |
| XubuntuKris | i'm gonna try resetting the network. | 19:44 |
| XubuntuKris | damn, same error | 19:50 |
| XubuntuKris | grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr | 19:50 |
| charlie-tca | Did you reset the other machine? | 19:51 |
| XubuntuKris | no, but it's in use. | 19:51 |
| XubuntuKris | Otherwise, I would | 19:51 |
| charlie-tca | I have to restart my server, then my client to get my remote directories back after power failures | 19:52 |
| charlie-tca | but, I don't use windows, either | 19:52 |
| XubuntuKris | This is my only linux machine on what is basically a windows network.lol | 19:52 |
| XubuntuKris | Okay, restarting the other computer | 19:58 |
| XubuntuKris | How do I change where an external harddrive is mounted? | 20:30 |
| XubuntuKris | It's physically attached to my windows desktop, and mapped to my home folder. | 20:30 |
| TheSheep | how did you map it? | 20:32 |
| TheSheep | there is a line in /etc/fstab for it maybe? | 20:32 |
| XubuntuKris | Yes there is | 20:32 |
| TheSheep | that line has the path where it is mounted | 20:33 |
| XubuntuKris | The drive started showing up as a broken link today for some reason. | 20:33 |
| XubuntuKris | And I can't access my home directory because of it. | 20:33 |
| TheSheep | yeah, I remember | 20:34 |
| XubuntuKris | Yeah, | 20:34 |
| XubuntuKris | I'm thinking if I change where it's mounted, I'll be able to access my home directory | 20:34 |
| XubuntuKris | Or hell, remove the mount entirely and start over | 20:34 |
| TheSheep | you have to umount it first | 20:34 |
| TheSheep | you can try unmounting it as root | 20:35 |
| XubuntuKris | this is the line for it in /etc/fstab | 20:35 |
| XubuntuKris | /JOHNSON-PC/Ozzwin /home/kristopher/ozzwin cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 | 20:35 |
| XubuntuKris | I did "sudo umount" to unmount it, and it worked | 20:36 |
| XubuntuKris | :D | 20:36 |
| XubuntuKris | a step in the right direction. | 20:36 |
| TheSheep | \o/ | 20:36 |
| XubuntuKris | O.o | 20:37 |
| XubuntuKris | So it's unmounted | 20:37 |
| XubuntuKris | How do I remove it entirely? | 20:37 |
| TheSheep | now you should be able to access your ~ just fine | 20:37 |
| XubuntuKris | and then remount it | 20:38 |
| TheSheep | comment out that line in your /etc/fstab | 20:38 |
| XubuntuKris | indeed, I can access ~ just fine | 20:38 |
| TheSheep | oh, if you want to remount it, then just do 'mount /home/kristopher/ozzwin' | 20:38 |
| XubuntuKris | I already tried that, it breaks again. | 20:39 |
| TheSheep | well, there is some samba magic involved that I don't really understand | 20:39 |
| TheSheep | you could try #samba | 20:39 |
| XubuntuKris | Is samba my only option? | 20:40 |
| TheSheep | XubuntuKris: samba is the network protocol that windows computers use to send files over the network | 20:41 |
| XubuntuKris | So I have to use samba... | 20:42 |
| TheSheep | XubuntuKris: since the other computer is windows, and they don't support other protocols very well... | 20:42 |
| XubuntuKris | no other options. | 20:42 |
| XubuntuKris | dang. | 20:42 |
| Sysi | *smb/cifs is protocol, samba is made for using those | 20:42 |
| TheSheep | there might be some options that would make it more responsive when the host is down, I don't know | 20:42 |
| TheSheep | also, you could mount it outside of your home directory | 20:43 |
| TheSheep | but that doesn't really solve the problem | 20:43 |
| XubuntuKris | I'll look into that later, I just remounted it again, and it all works fine | 20:44 |
| XubuntuKris | lol. | 20:44 |
| XubuntuKris | and to think, all this stuff I went through and all I had to do was "sudo umount" | 20:44 |
| TheSheep | next time you will know | 20:46 |
| XubuntuKris | maybe. my memory isn't all that great. | 20:46 |
| XubuntuKris | lol | 20:46 |

| Fudge | guys guys | 23:48 |
| Fudge | whats the default wm for xfce | 23:48 |
| Fudge | and how can i use metacity instead | 23:49 |
| gusnan | Fudge, the default wm for xfce is called xfwm. | 23:49 |
| Fudge | gusnan i just used metacity --replace and then found tha ti can use gnome-panel, with gnome-orca | 23:51 |
| Fudge | how would i configure it, or just save session | 23:51 |
| gusnan | I dont know - I guess you could just save the session to get metacity to replace xfwm permanently, but I dont really see the point... If you want gnome, why dont you just install gnome? | 23:53 |
| Fudge | i have gnome | 23:54 |
| Fudge | but i want to see if xfce will run faster even though it seems i have to use most stuff from gnome | 23:54 |
| Fudge | i cant stop xfce4-panel from working | 23:55 |
| Fudge | it respawns | 23:55 |
