duffman_Hi I have a problem with the scroll wheel on my mouse in xubuntu does not work00:03
duffman_someone help me?00:03
duffman_hi??00:05
knomeduffman_, if you run 'xkbevd' in terminal an scroll, does it give any output?00:06
duffman_yes00:08
knomeduffman_, also, is it a "normal" mouse, or some not-so-common one (button count etc?)00:08
duffman_is mouse usb00:09
duffman_all boton found but scroll not found00:09
knomeso when you scroll, there is no output?00:09
duffman_dont output scroll but other button yes00:11
knomei have no ideas then...00:13
duffman_:/00:13
knomemight have something to do with mouse not being recognised properly, creating xorg.conf with a mouse section and especially looking that ZAxisMapping is correct might help00:14
knomebut i'm not at all familiar with that00:15

einseenaicharlie-tca, I used build of 31 august, but bug with multiple "don't show this message again" persists. i reported it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-notifyd/+bug/83920301:20

mikodoHow do you  burn an .iso to HD, from an .avi burned on to a DVD with xfce 4.8, and then play it with vlc or mplayer or such? I can do it with Ubuntu Lucid. With Xubuntu, I can burn the .iso to the HD the same way in Xubuntu, (with k3b), but cannot play it with either of the players.03:27
mikodoAny guides or tips/links?03:28
mikodoJust thinking this may be taboo here03:38
mikodoCan I delete it some how?03:38
pleia2mikodo: what version of xubuntu?03:39
mikodoLucid03:39
pleia2k3b and vlc would be the same exact packages as with ubuntu lucid03:39
mikodoStrange thing though, I tried replicating with Xubuntu many times to no avail.03:40
pleia2very strange03:41
mikodoYes, I want to free my self of Ubuntu, when Lucid EOl comes ...03:41
mikodoMaybe if I installed Gnome3 on top of Xubuntu 12.04, I can do this then with the newest Ubuntu DE03:43
mikodoEdit, meant to say without the newest Ubuntu DE03:44
pleia2k3b is a kde app03:44
pleia2so it seems strange to me that it would be a gnome issue03:44
mikodoNot really a gnome issue, seems to be with Xfce 4.803:45
pleia2yeah, I never used 4.8 on lucid03:45
pleia2I guess you're using the ppa?03:45
mikodoTwo things: It is not a problem with kde, It will burn an .iso alright with Xubuntu, just cannot play it with the players. On the PPA, I couldn't find one for k3b03:47
pleia2I meant to get xfce 4.8 on lucid03:49
mikodoIt runs nice.03:50
pleia2do you get some kind of error from vlc or mplayer?03:50
pleia2doing a google search for the error might lead you to figuring out what the encoding problem is with k3b03:50
pleia2anyway, I need to order some dinner, hopefully someone else will come by :) good luck!03:51
mikodoNo errors, just shows in the players as they not having any data from the iso to play03:51
mikodoYes, thanks pleia203:51
mikodoTime for my supper too04:07
mikodoIt seems to not be a problem with k3b with xfce, the .iso in it's properties shows the correct amount of data, just like it does in gnome2, just the players won't play it, I haven't tried any other players ...04:14
mikodoFrom above: Maybe if I burned the .iso with a Gnome app like Brasero it would be able to played my VLC or Mplayer, instead of burning the .iso's from k3b. Gnome2 will use kde apps. but maybe xfce isn't able to use all the kde apps like Gnome2.06:16
mikodoWill try that later and report any successes.06:17
Shirakawasunaanyone know how to get xfwm4 to open a given app on a particular workspace? I've googled it and the results say it doesn't have this functionality, but I just wanted to double check that there weren't plans in progress/a recent change07:27

Sysiis there any workaround for lucid's user switching from xcsreensaver failing -bug?16:33
micha_Hallo!16:37
incorrectif i purge off nautilus and that removes the gnome-session package i will not be able to run the gnome services?19:44
Sysior you can't login to gnome19:45
incorrectthat is fine19:46
incorrectis it worth changing to lightdm?19:57
incorrectin 11.04?19:57
Sysiif gdm works, no20:01
incorrecti have 1gb in this netbook and well if i can save any memory20:02
incorrectwhen did 1gb of ram stop being a lot?20:03
Sysinot yet.. depending what you're doing on that netbook20:04
incorrectwell i do run eclipse and firefox20:04
Sysiugh, eclipse uses lots of ram20:05
incorrectit can i limited mine to 25620:05
SysiI think you could set it to be more and you'd still have enough20:06
incorrectwell, 384mb will probably be where it ends up20:06
Sysihave you considered using something other than eclipse?20:07
incorrectyes i tried many20:07
incorrecti am hooked on using mylyn with my trac setup20:07
incorrectweirdly enough its not eclipse that is such a major hog, its firefox20:08
Sysiclose it and open again, get adblock and maybe flashblock20:08
incorrecti might try midori20:09
