| rhin0 | xubuntu seems ok apart from the menu bar at the bottom of the screen | 00:18 |
|---|---|---|
| rhin0 | how do you remove it | 00:18 |
| rhin0 | is irritating | 00:18 |
| rhin0 | can be minimized but i haven't managed to get rid of it | 00:20 |
| tsaavik | Good news is you can get rid of it, bad news is I forgot how i did it :D | 00:22 |
| tsaavik | maybe run 'xwininfo' from a terminal window then click on it to get the name, then kill it or google it to findout how to make it go away. I'm out, see ya all tommorrow :D | 00:23 |
| madnick | just right click to remove it :) | 00:23 |
| madnick | rightclick -> panel | 00:23 |
| holstein | yeah, its a panel like the other one rhin0 | 00:28 |
| holstein | which i appreciate since its integrated, and not an extra piece of software | 00:28 |
| holstein | anyone using compiz ? | 00:30 |
| w30 | holstein, I got compiz going pretty much the way I want it. | 00:40 |
| holstein | w30: you mind talking about it a bit? | 00:41 |
| holstein | im having a bit of a hassle | 00:41 |
| w30 | holstein, except for window border selection | 00:41 |
| holstein | unfrotunately, i only have a few minutes, and i dont have the mahcine in front of me now | 00:41 |
| w30 | holstein, I can try | 00:41 |
| holstein | w30: really, just hearing that you got it and its working is enough | 00:41 |
| holstein | makes me feel hopeful about it ;) | 00:41 |
| holstein | w30: is this pretty much all you did? | 00:45 |
| holstein | compiz --replace ccp & | 00:45 |
| w30 | holstein, yes that should give basic compiz but you need to check some options like window decorations etc, in ccms (configure application) | 00:47 |
| w30 | holstein, you really need ccms downloades to get windows to resize, maximumize etc. | 00:48 |
| holstein | yeah, i got that, but for example... my virtual desktops go away, and i cant seem to make them come back under compiz | 00:49 |
| holstein | i might have borked something using CCSM | 00:49 |
| holstein | CCMS* | 00:49 |
| w30 | holstein, you have to set them with ccms, general options desktop size mine is horizontal 4 vertical 1 Number of desktops 1 | 00:51 |
| holstein | w30: OK | 00:51 |
| holstein | thats helpful | 00:51 |
| holstein | i'll look again | 00:51 |
| holstein | i think im just getting used to what is what coming from gnome | 00:52 |
| holstein | w30: thanks... BBL | 00:53 |

| zacarias | how do you force an application to quit (probably with CLI)? | 00:54 |
| ball | zacarias: "man kill" | 00:55 |
| ball | (there are different signals you can send a program to kill it) | 00:55 |
| ball | s/program/process/ | 00:55 |
| w30 | zacarias, use ps auxw to find the pid then kill -9 pid | 00:55 |
| zacarias | ball: "man kill"? wouldn't it be necessary to specify the app? | 00:56 |
| w30 | zacarias, sledgehammer way killall <application> | 00:56 |
| ball | w30: I'd probably try HUP first, it's more gentle. | 00:56 |
| ball | zacarias: "man" shows you the manual page | 00:57 |
| w30 | ball, yeah you are right, I assume he has emergency and needs quick help | 00:57 |
| ball | w30: fair enough. | 00:58 |
| w30 | ball, like his cat stood on his print screen key hehe | 01:01 |

| techvish81 | which window manager does xubuntu use?, can i use metacity so as to use themes for metacity? | 03:49 |
| pleia2 | it uses xfwm, I don't know about replacing it with other wms though | 03:50 |
| techvish81 | anybody? | 03:54 |
| w30 | alacarte works fine on xubuntu 11.10 *big smile* | 03:54 |
| Unit193 | Great we are glad it worked | 03:55 |
| w30 | techvish81, i use gtk themes in my xubuntu but I think you can use what you like. Right now I am confused about xfvwm4 xfce4 gtk-window-decorator and how they make up a desktop | 04:08 |
| w30 | agemoi100 | 04:09 |
| w30 | techvish81, metacity is in synaptic | 04:12 |
| techvish81 | i want to change my file manager to nautilus, without changing the desktop environment to gnome, is it possible? | 04:13 |
| techvish81 | metacity is there but only installation will do or i will have to do something? | 04:14 |
| techvish81 | i have got a high end system and i was trying all the distros there to get an alternative to ubuntu, i liked xubuntu and installed it, i'm quite satisfied by it , but still i'm missing somethings, eyecandy and filemanager functionality. | 04:18 |
| techvish81 | compositing option is very good though.! | 04:19 |
| w30 | techvish81, I hace installed stuff that pulls in some gnome libs as dependencies so I would suggest make a install click then chec what dependencies it wants to pull along with it | 04:20 |
| w30 | techvish81, before you apply | 04:20 |
| w30 | techvish81, if it wants gnome then back out | 04:21 |
| w30 | techvish81, Heh, I'm in here because of gnome3 in fedora and unity in ubuntu. KDE always was bloated in my mind so I never got to see KDE4 | 04:24 |
| techvish81 | i installed nautilus, it pulled som gnome libs as dependencies, now i want to set it as default and use it without full gnome environment, | 04:24 |
| w30 | techvish81, I am just like you except I have got fedora 15 Unity 11.04 and xubuntu 11.10 being triple booted | 04:25 |
| techvish81 | kde is a real headache, i installed kubuntu but it kept crashing repeatedly, and i was unable to connect to my dsl, so i installed gnome network manager applet, but it messed my system and the popup menus where flying high as if filled with helium or something | 04:27 |
| techvish81 | they were free to appear anywhere in the desktop. i killed them all...... formatted my system hahahah | 04:29 |
| techvish81 | how is fedora? i've not tried it yet. | 04:32 |
| w30 | techvish81, try settings preferred applications the utilities in the application and check nautilus | 04:32 |
| techvish81 | tried but it does nothing except showing nautilus there | 04:33 |
| w30 | techvish81, its got the awful full screen window for applications; I mean to open an app you have to click on a button and a whole page of 1 inch icons open up and still you have to scroll. | 04:35 |
| w30 | techvish81, it turns your computer into a 2 foot square smart phone | 04:37 |
| w30 | techvish81, duh, I can't wait to get a tuch screen with peanut butter and jelly or Pork Rind grease all over it. | 04:38 |
| techvish81 | u mean icecream sandwich? | 04:39 |
| w30 | techvish81, I will for once agree with Steve Jobs on this call. | 04:39 |
| w30 | techvish81, ha, good one *smile* | 04:42 |
| techvish81 | jobs was a real businessmen rather than a technogeek, he decided to take on the upper and uppermiddle class for his products, and tried to make it a style/status symbol to create an extra urge in the hearts of customer | 04:42 |
| techvish81 | i gonna go now , | 04:45 |
| ktwo | hi im getting disconnected from wifi very often i noticed that a diffrent firmware is loaded rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin than my adapter : Realtek RTL8188CUS - can this be the reason? | 06:52 |
| well_laid_lawn | it should say something about it in dmesg | 06:53 |
| ktwo | before the disconnect happens | 06:56 |
| ktwo | i get [ 2327.376116] cfg80211: All devices are disconnected, going to restore regulatory settings | 06:56 |

| ktwo | i dont know realtek has one | 07:02 |
| ktwo | but it isnt for 3.0 kernel | 07:02 |

| well_laid_lawn | it's in window manager tweaks | 08:07 |

| wehgwg | I can see that the colors have changed, but they don't look like the screenshots | 13:32 |
| wehgwg | They look bad | 13:33 |
| wehgwg | Also, my cursor seems to change size when I move away from some windows | 13:37 |
| wehgwg | It becomes huge | 13:37 |
| wehgwg | I tried changing the cursor settings, but it only affects the cursor when it is over some windows | 13:37 |
| wehgwg | like Firefox or the terminal | 13:37 |
| TheSheep | wehgwg: the screenshots are probably made from gvim | 13:40 |
| TheSheep | wehgwg: which is a gui app, so has more colors available | 13:40 |
| TheSheep | wehgwg: normal vim is a terminal app and so only has 16 colors | 13:41 |
| wehgwg | :( | 13:44 |

| antnash | Hey guys. I'm running tightvnc server and it was working perfectly until I rebooted. Now I've got no desktop, just a black/yellow screen and a cross for a cursor. Anyone able to help? | 16:43 |
| GridCube | hmmm | 16:44 |
| GridCube | i do not know what a tightvnc is | 16:44 |
| GridCube | :/ | 16:44 |
| GridCube | sorry | 16:45 |
| antnash | vnc server | 16:45 |
| antnash | How do I reconfigure xorg? | 16:45 |
| GridCube | so you are trying to access to a xubuntu desktop, or from a xubuntu desktop | 16:45 |
| GridCube | antnash: fastway: delete xorg.conf | 16:45 |
| GridCube | its autoconfigurable, if it worked it will work again | 16:46 |
| antnash | to xubuntu, and I don't have xorg.conf | 16:46 |
| antnash | where would it be? | 16:46 |
| Myrtti | there isn't one | 16:47 |
| antnash | No, I have no xorg.conf | 16:47 |
| GridCube | oh | 16:48 |
| Myrtti | how do you want to configure xorg? | 16:48 |
| GridCube | thats weird then | 16:48 |
| Myrtti | no, it's not really | 16:48 |
| Myrtti | :-D | 16:48 |
| Myrtti | xorg is autoconfigured by the system, if you don't have xorg.conf that's normal | 16:48 |
| antnash | Myrtti, my problem is that my vnc server has all of a sudden gone wrong. No desktop being displayed | 16:49 |
| antnash | Just a cross as a cursor | 16:49 |
| Myrtti | well that sounds more like a problem of the desktop environment than x | 16:49 |
| Myrtti | xorg is working fine, it's the desktop environment that's missing | 16:49 |
| antnash | I'm using startxfce4 to start it. Is there another way? | 16:50 |
| antnash | like exec xfce-session? | 16:50 |
| antnash | Something like that? | 16:50 |
| Myrtti | you don't have a DM to manage logging in and selection of the environment? | 16:50 |
| antnash | This is with vnc | 16:51 |
| antnash | huh. Wierd, it's back | 16:51 |
| antnash | Anyway, is the way xubuntu starts exec xfce4-session ? | 16:52 |
| antnash | Does anyone know the command that xubuntu uses to kick off an xfce session? | 17:00 |
| TheSheep | it's a whole bunch of commands, afaik | 17:01 |
| w30 | when I switch to a virtual terminal with ctrl alt Fn and back the desktop won't redraw. If I select a rectangle with the mouse it redraws. Nvidia Driver problems? | 17:26 |
| w30 | What driver should I use for GForce 7900 GT/GTO | 17:28 |
| w30 | antnash, look at startx,it uses xinit and parses xclient xsession etc. last time I looked anyway | 17:36 |
| antnash | w30, that's not my only problem. I just tried to run 'sudo software-center' and it killed the vnc session | 17:37 |
| antnash | If I try and run any graphical programs which require sudo then I get no permission | 17:38 |
| GridCube | because you should gksu? | 17:38 |
| GridCube | !gksu | 17:39 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 17:39 |
| antnash | GridCube, It's even when I run them from the app menu | 17:41 |
| GridCube | as i said earlier, i know near nothing about vnc :( | 17:42 |
| w30 | antnash, I ran vnc sometime ago and could only get startkde to work so I am awfully dumb on that. | 17:44 |
| antnash | lol | 17:44 |

| moetunes | I use numlockx added to autostarted apps | 17:47 |
| w30 | antnash, the trouble with startx is that it's set to run on display:0 so you would have to redo startx somehow | 17:47 |
| w30 | antnash, I nver made it any further *frown* | 17:47 |
| badapple | moetunes, thanks =) | 17:48 |
| moetunes | np | 17:48 |

| badapple | moetunes, and do you know how to make the ntfs partitions to start with ubuntu ? | 17:49 |
| moetunes | !fstab | badapple | 17:49 |
| ubottu | badapple: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 17:49 |
| antnash | there's no way to pass parameters to startxfce4 or xfce4-session then? | 17:49 |
| badapple | moetunes, thanks but i dont know what to write in /etc/fstab | 17:51 |
| badapple | :/ | 17:51 |
| w30 | badapple, can you mount the drives from the gui after you start the desktop? | 18:02 |

| xGrind | sudo thunar | 19:38 |

| Unit193 | badapple: You should be able to right click in the folder and "Open folder as root" | 19:39 |
| badapple | Unit193, yes , i did it =) i just added the option "gksudo thunar" =) | 19:40 |
| badapple | but now comes and my new question :D .. how can i install emerald ? | 19:41 |
| badapple | it gives me an error ( E: Could not find the package emerald ) .. | 19:42 |

| pimperle | one of my two xubuntu installation shows the onscreen keyboard after i login. how can i permanently disable (not just hide) it? | 20:51 |
| pimperle | i couldn't find it in the session's autostart-tab | 20:51 |
| pimperle | /etc/xdg/autostart/onboard-autostart.desktop has OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity; | 20:51 |
| beardygnome | pimperle: you need to disable gnome services | 20:51 |
| pimperle | set, so it should not start | 20:51 |
| pimperle | ah, i see | 20:51 |
| pimperle | so gnome-services means anything with GNOME in it in /etc/xdg/autostart/ | 20:52 |
| beardygnome | settings -> session and startup -> advanced | 20:52 |
| pimperle | wow, weechat has tab-completion support when chatting | 20:52 |
| beardygnome | untick "launch gnome services on startup" | 20:52 |
| pimperle | but won't disabling gnome services also disable other parts? | 20:52 |
| beardygnome | it's a known bug | 20:52 |
| pimperle | the /etc/xdg/autostart/ file mentions a GSetting called screen-keyboard-enabled. maybe i could disable that setting somewhere | 20:54 |
| beardygnome | pimperle: i've had no problems since disabling the gnome services | 20:55 |
| beardygnome | i can't see what they were doing when they were enabled | 20:55 |
| pimperle | i once used the gnome keyring daemon to automatically add ssh keys upon login | 20:56 |
| pimperle | but it broke 2 or three releases ago and i never tried it again | 20:56 |
| pimperle | ok, i disabled it and will see if it comes back next time i log in | 20:57 |
| pimperle | what is the current state of the gnome keyring usage in xfce? do i have to prevent ssh-agent from starting in order to use the gnome daemon? | 20:59 |
| pimperle | now i set a value in xfconf-query to disable the ssh agent, now i need to setup the session to eval the output of gnome-keyring-daemon | 21:35 |
| pimperle | where can i enable that? | 21:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | maybe in autostarted apps | 21:41 |
| pimperle | well, i enabled the gnome services again and the keyring daemon's variables are properly set | 21:41 |
| pimperle | now i'm back at removing the automatic startup of the keyboard | 21:41 |
| pimperle | i thing, a short rm -f in /etc/xdg/autostart is in order | 21:41 |
