[00:23] <evelyn> hi guys im having some trouble installing xubuntu x386 11.10 from a USB drive
[00:30] <GridCube> what kind of problem?
[00:30] <GridCube> does the USB turn into a fire?!
[00:30] <GridCube> D:
[00:31] <Mahmoud> hi, can i install a copy of evince that is linked against gtk2 instead of gtk3?
[00:31] <GridCube> i guess
[00:31] <Mahmoud> how
[00:31] <GridCube> xubuntu has both engines so
[00:31] <GridCube> just install it
[00:32] <Mahmoud> just do sudo apt-get install evince?
[00:32] <Marion> So after I do xset dpms what do I do
[00:33] <GridCube> Mahmoud, that should install a version of evince yes
[00:33] <GridCube> i don't know if that would be gtk3 or 2 tho
[00:34] <ochosi> Mahmoud: depending on your version of x/ubuntu you'll either get gtk3 or gtk2
[00:34] <GridCube> !info evince
[00:34] <ochosi> Mahmoud: until 11.04 you'll get evince gtk2
[00:34] <ochosi> Mahmoud: only in 11.10 there's the gtk3 version of evince
[00:36] <Marion> Ochosi if I install 11.10 will it just replace my current distribution
[00:37] <GridCube> what distribution do you have Marion ?
[00:37] <Mahmoud> ochosi: i have 11.10 but want evince linked against gtk2
[00:38] <Marion> 11.04
[00:39] <ochosi> Marion: i guess it's not entirely easy to get the gtk2 version
[00:39] <ochosi> eehm
[00:39] <ochosi> i mean Mahmoud, not Marion
[00:39] <Mahmoud> sad
[00:40] <Mahmoud> will go dirty mode then (dirty stuff at xubuntu)
[00:40] <ochosi> Mahmoud: why would you want the gtk2 version?
[00:40] <ochosi> i mean what's the expected gain?
[00:41] <Mahmoud> just to use gtk2 themes
[00:41] <Mahmoud> i'll edit hte gtk2 theme and rename stuff to make it appear as gtk3
[00:41] <Mahmoud> see how it works
[00:41] <GridCube> Mahmoud, xubuntu has the same theme on gtk3 than gtk2
[00:42] <Mahmoud> their default theme is somewhat white and screwed my eyes
[00:42] <GridCube> oh
[00:44] <Mahmoud> what's the latest one? dark_days?
[00:44] <Mahmoud> or greybird
[00:44] <ochosi> Mahmoud: yeah, that's a problem. no quick'n'easy solution for that
[00:44] <ochosi> greybird is the only xubuntu-theme that has gtk2/3 support
[00:45] <Mahmoud> damn. the gtk3 themes are structured very differently (.css files)
[00:47] <ochosi> Mahmoud: yep i know, i made greybird's gtk3 variant (and the gtk2 one in fact :) )
[00:49]  * GridCube was going to blame ochosi for not making a new albatross theme but he will not because he respects ochosi's hard work :D
[00:52] <ochosi> hehe
[00:54] <Mahmoud> greybird still sucks
[00:55] <Mahmoud> i use atolm + my own changes so that i see no white bg at all while still being useable
[00:56] <Mahmoud> white bg is just for the stupids who are still thinking that lcd/crt/plazma are white papers
[01:38] <rhin0> whats causing "dbus-daemon" to hog 100% of my cpu -- do I have a rootkit or something -- 100% of cpu from bootup
[01:45] <rhin0> /etc/int.d/dbus restart have to run even after reboot -- to get cpu down from 100% .. what's it doing?  (dbus-daemon)
[01:46] <rhin0> I suspect it's "gnome services" in startup
[01:58] <rhin0> i don't even know what uses "dbus-daemon"
[01:58] <rhin0> "messaging"
[02:02]  * GridCube has no idea
[02:05] <Marion> Hey gridcube how hard is it to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10
[02:06] <GridCube> i would guess not so hard
[02:06] <GridCube> but as i always do clean installs i don't really know
[02:06] <GridCube> you should delete all the . starting folders on your home though
[02:06] <GridCube> all the ones you are sure you don't need to keep
[02:07] <GridCube> so you dont keep conflicting config files
[02:07] <GridCube> and it should work pretty well
[02:08] <Marion2> Stupid android
[02:08] <GridCube> :P
[02:09] <Marion2> So if I install 11.10 will it just replace the current distribution
[02:10] <GridCube> pretty much, thats the idea
[02:10] <well_laid_lawn> the upgrade went fine here
[02:10] <GridCube> :) ^^ better help then :D
[02:10] <Marion2> And would my files be safe our do I need to move them to my secondary hdd
[02:11] <GridCube> Marion2, thats ALWAYS a good idea
[02:11] <well_laid_lawn> should always be backing up anyway ;)
[02:11] <GridCube> let me repeat it THATS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA
[02:11] <Marion2> Who said I have good ideas
[02:13] <babble> lag? sigh.
[02:14] <Marion2> Ok so any changes I made to say dpms or setting up auto mount would I need to redo that
[02:16] <GridCube> Marion2, on upgrades, i don't think so, but that could happen
[02:16]  * GridCube has never had much luck whit upgrades
[02:16] <rhin0> I wouldn't do it
[02:17] <rhin0> would clean install
[02:17] <rhin0> think I only did an upgrade to 10.10 went ok though
[02:17] <GridCube> yes i would do a clean install too
[02:17] <GridCube> but then you need to reconfigure everything
[02:18] <GridCube> :P thats not so hard when you remember how to edit fstab or save a copy of it somewhere and then replace it
[02:26] <well_laid_lawn> with a clean install you don't get to keep things like firefox bookmarks
[02:26] <GridCube> >save the json file >restore bookmarks
[02:34] <Marion2> Sorry guys I'm at work
[02:36] <Marion2> So back up my home folder and my con fig files i edited just to be on the safe side then cross my fingers to see what happens?
[02:37] <well_laid_lawn> yeppers
[02:37] <GridCube> yes
[02:37] <GridCube> if you use firefox also save your bookmarks
[02:37] <Marion2> I have my firefox profiles saved to my secondary hdd
[02:39] <GridCube> :)
[02:56]  * rhin0 wondering why usb-creator-gtk creates usb installs that fail to boot now .. is that since 11.10
[02:57] <rhin0> or is my usb key worn out
[02:57] <rhin0> naw
[03:00] <GridCube> rhin0, you using this http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ ?
[03:00] <rhin0> no I just use usb-creator-gtk -- blank the key - write the iso ... so far that's worked
[03:01] <GridCube> never did that
[03:01] <GridCube> unetbootin always worked for me
[03:01] <rhin0> i think i've used that before -- creates usb keys specific to the distro -- ok that will prbably work -- suffice to say I think usb-creator-gtk has stopped working in 11.10
[03:02] <GridCube> you can use an iso whit unetbootin
[03:03] <GridCube> ggg with no whit
[03:03] <rhin0> i know i've used it before -- just have used usb-creator-gtk because it's simpler -- you don't have to select what distro -- just seemed to create a bootable usb for anything (before)
[03:03]  * GridCube needs to stop writing whit
[03:04] <GridCube> :P
[03:04]  * rhin0 following the greece situation -- what will happen
[03:18] <Marion> I wish I was at home
[04:05] <KingSphinx> I'm trying to install xubuntu-desktop, but apt-get hangs at 8% trying to fetch libpurple.
[04:08] <well_laid_lawn> KingSphinx: try a different mirror
[04:09] <KingSphinx> There's a different mirror for Xubuntu?
[04:17] <well_laid_lawn> !mirror
[04:18] <well_laid_lawn> yep you select it in synaptic
[04:30] <Hannofcart> Hello, I'm trying to connect to a wireless network from a new Xubuntu install. lshw shows me that my wireless card is a BCM4311 device. I don't have any means to connect it via ethernet either so I tried the 'STA - No Intenet Access' method as described in the documentation: http://bit.ly/w0DUvf
[04:31] <Hannofcart> However, running System->Additional Drivers doesn't show any new drivers available for install
[04:31] <Hannofcart> Can someone please tell me what I ought to be doing?
[04:32] <Hannofcart> The wireless device does not show up in ifconfig
[04:32] <KingSphinx> If you're on IRC with that Xubuntu install, I think that means you got drivers working.
[04:32] <Hannofcart> KingSphinx, heh, no this is a different machine
[04:32] <KingSphinx> Oh wait... sorry. Didn't see the next posts.
[04:33] <KingSphinx> Try restarting? That usually works for me and my BCM4318.
[04:33] <Hannofcart> KingSphinx, yes, did that. Still no drivers visible
[04:36] <KingSphinx> BTW, I'm still trying to install xubuntu-desktop, and it still sticks at 8% and fails. I don't have Synaptic because I run Kubuntu on my machine.
[04:38] <Hannofcart> KingSphinx, you can make do with apt-get
[04:38] <Hannofcart> no?
[04:39] <KingSphinx> But apt-get is precisely the problem right now. When trying to install xubuntu-desktop with apt-get, it gets stuck trying to fetch libpurple and eventually fails with a "Hash suh mismatch" error.
[04:39] <KingSphinx> *sum
[04:52] <well_laid_lawn> KingSphinx: you can check in /etc/apt/sources.list which mirror you are using and maybe change it
[04:53] <evelyn> hi there, im having trouble booting into my freshly installed xubuntu install. the splash screen loads, and then i get stuck at a looping screen
[04:53] <evelyn> the screen just seems to flash over and over...
[04:55] <well_laid_lawn> evelyn: that's weird - did you do the cd check?
[04:55] <evelyn> hmm no, i think its a driver issue. seems like other people are having it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1807612
[04:56] <evelyn> i am able to switch to tty1 and get a login there
[04:58] <well_laid_lawn> evelyn: tried running an update?
[05:33] <Marion2> So I'm trying to boot a linux install disk and it just goes tip black after I choose install xubuntu
[05:44] <well_laid_lawn> it'll probably need a kernel boot parameter for the graphics
[06:11] <jimmy8888> hi how do i change my clock? it is incorrect by one hour
[06:15] <jimmy8888> dpkg-reconfigure tzdata fixed it
[07:37] <marion> so i burned a new copy of the xubuntu and its going to a black screen after i hit enyert on install xubuntu
[07:38] <well_laid_lawn> did you do the cd check?
[07:38] <well_laid_lawn> it'll probably need a kernel boot parameter for the graphics
[07:39] <marion> so what do i need to do lawn?
[07:39] <well_laid_lawn> first I'd check the cd from the cd's menu
[07:40] <marion> at that menu that gives me the option to install?
[07:40] <well_laid_lawn> yep
[07:40] <well_laid_lawn> do you know the graphics card?
[07:40] <marion> and that will do the kernel?
[07:40] <marion> yeah its an ati graphics card
[07:41] <well_laid_lawn> marion: it will check that the iso you burned it from is ok and that the burn went ok
[07:42] <marion> ok how do i do the kernel update then
[07:44] <well_laid_lawn> it's not an update
[07:44] <marion> ok so what will i need to do for the kernel boot parameter
[07:45] <well_laid_lawn> how did the cd check go?
[07:45] <marion> havent done it yet
[07:45] <marion> im on the linux machine
[07:46] <marion> is there a way that i can do a cd check from within
[07:47] <well_laid_lawn> I don't know about that - you could check the iso
[07:47] <well_laid_lawn> !md5
[07:49] <well_laid_lawn> I'd be checking for a bad burn that causes all sorts of issues
[07:51] <marion> ok i am redownloading just to be on the safe side
[07:51] <mikodo> sure nice to see more activity here lately .. G'nite :)
[08:01] <marion> within linux is there another program other than brasero that i can use to burn the iso
[08:02] <marion> brasero is telling me there is not enough space on the disk for the iso
[08:03] <TheSheep> marion: there are several
[08:03] <TheSheep> marion: xfburn for example
[08:04] <TheSheep> marion: or that kde one, forgot the name
[08:04] <TheSheep> marion: k3b
[08:04] <TheSheep> marion: it's also possible, that the iso is too big for your cd
[08:05] <marion> 677 iso 700 cd
[08:31] <Marion> Ok well laid lawn are you here still
[08:35] <well_laid_lawn> Marion: yep
[08:36] <well_laid_lawn> !tab | Marion
[08:37] <well_laid_lawn> Marion: you can type wel and hit the tab key and get well_laid_lawn
[09:34] <klawd> hi!
[09:34] <klawd> how can i make the terminal start in fullscreen?
[09:43] <well_laid_lawn> I can't find an option for that except hit F11 after it starts
[09:48] <klawd> i found ~/.local/share/applications
[09:48] <klawd> i guess that's key
[09:51] <well_laid_lawn> that's just the mimetypes files
[09:53] <well_laid_lawn> you could have a look at the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications
[09:57] <klawd> ok, so.. i added gnome-terminal.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications and put Exec=gnome-terminal --window --maximize in it
[09:57] <klawd> that does work but it's buggy somehow
[09:57] <klawd> it's too big
[10:00] <well_laid_lawn> why gnome-terminal?
[10:01] <well_laid_lawn> xubuntu has xfce4-terminal
[10:01] <klawd> yes, but i don't use it since it's all bold somehow
[10:03] <well_laid_lawn> if you run the gnome terminal command from a terminal is the size right?
[10:07] <klawd> i found a setting in the options that lets me set the geometry
[10:07] <klawd> that's good enough
[10:07] <well_laid_lawn> great
[12:06] <broken> morning
[12:06] <broken> can I install xubuntu from inside ubuntu?
[12:07] <gju_> yes
[12:07] <gju_> apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[12:07] <Sysi> !purexfce
[12:08] <Sysi> and parallel works too
[12:08] <broken> thanks
[12:09] <gju_> can i somehow hide the skype icon from the xfce notification area? so far i only found how i can hide it under unity.
[12:21] <Sysi> skype's settings?
[12:26] <gju_> didn't find anything there.
[13:31] <ochosi> gju_: if you right-click the panel and get to the settings-dialog of the notification-area you can hide skype's icon
[13:31] <ochosi> gju_: but an arrow will remain to bring the hidden icons back, winxp-style
[13:37] <gju_> thanks for the tip, but it seems that skye doesn't but its icon in this part of the notification-area. at least i cannot hide it in the menu.
[13:46] <jimmy8888> hello, does somebody know how to configure bash in xubuntu so that tab-completion works for commands prefixed with 'sudo' ??
[13:47] <jimmy8888> (in a simlar way to how the 'normal' ubuntu terminal works)
[13:48] <Sysi> works like that for me..
[13:48] <jimmy8888> hmmm is it controlled by .bashrc or a different file?
[13:54] <jimmy8888> ok fixed it: `sudo aptitude install bash-completion`
[13:54] <jimmy8888> not sure why it was not installed as part of the base xubuntu-desktop metapackage...
[14:14] <surreal7z> Hi guys. Look, I have a weird problem. Xubuntu 11.10.  After rebooting computer it connects to my wireless network automatically but when i disconnect it AND try to reconnect it.. the sigh just circles on and on and doesn't connect
[14:15] <surreal7z> So, it just works when it automatically connects at startup
[14:15] <surreal7z> I think it has to do with Avahi deamon.... but not sure
[14:16] <surreal7z> Now.. I'm connected... but if I want to reconnect it will not work till I restart my computer
[14:17] <surreal7z> it's driving me insane
[14:19] <surreal7z> Also:: ad_hoc networks work::: but access point one; don't
[14:20] <surreal7z> Several times I had pop-out about Avahi service and local domain...
[14:35] <braintorch> hello. Is there a way to replace thunar with nautilus or pcmanfm properly?
[14:37] <TheSheep> braintorch: what do you mean? just use the other file manager
[14:38] <braintorch> when I open directory or removable drive from desktop it launches thunar
[14:38] <braintorch> I searched some option in xfdesktop but had no luck
[14:54] <TheSheep> braintorch: you can disable that in thunar's preferences
[14:56] <nicola> salve
[14:56] <braintorch> TheSheep: if you mean "volume management" I have disabled it already.
[14:57] <nicola> come si può cambiare il cursore di testo in xubuntu in modo da averne uno più sottile?
[14:57] <Pici> !it | nicola
[14:58] <nicola> ok
[16:01] <jimmy8888> hi is there a sticky or a faq for installing sun/oracle java in xubuntu 11.10?
[16:02] <Sysi> !java
[16:32] <KingSphinx> Reinstalled with Xubuntu 11.10 last night, and so far, I've only gotten sound partially working through my USB headset. That is, I can hear stuff, but the volume control on the headset doesn't work, I have to adjust it using pavucontrol.
[16:35] <Sysi> volume control physically doesn't work or panel applet doesn't?
[16:37] <KingSphinx> The volume applet looks like it works (it notifies me about volume changing and whatever), but sound isn't actually getting any quieter/louder, it stays at a constant volume.
[16:37] <KingSphinx> I don't know if that all got through...
[16:41] <Sysi> KingSphinx: change it to use proper mixer/device in settings
[16:46] <KingSphinx> I've tried that, but volume still doesn't work properly.
[18:07] <[h4wk]> hi 2 all
[18:07] <[h4wk]> I have a question?
[18:07] <[h4wk]> :)
[18:09] <totocheku> hi

[18:13] <[h4wk]> xD
[18:13] <[h4wk]> we all love it :D
[18:13] <Sysi> *Xubuntu (I think xbox-ubuntu was called xUbuntu)
[18:14] <[h4wk]> Sysi can you help me I have a litle question...
[18:14] <Sysi> say seomething with question mark and we'll see
[18:15] <[h4wk]> Is there any way to edit xubuntu right-click apps menu?
[18:15] <Sysi> it should be the same as panel menu
[18:16] <[h4wk]> ok...but how can it be edited?
[18:16] <Sysi> alacarte or lxmenued
[18:16] <[h4wk]> thank you....lxmenued?
[18:16] <Sysi> apt-get install --no-install-recommends alacarte
[18:16] <[h4wk]> thanks :D
[18:17] <Sysi> something like that, lxmenuedit
[18:20] <[h4wk]> Yeah this is cool :D
[18:27] <[h4wk]> @Sysi but some of options are not working...is it better to install it with recommends?
[18:52] <preecher> if used gparted to create a partition--  can i in turn "reclaim" that space/partition ?   more or less put that partition space back from where i took it from?
[19:00] <TheSheep> preecher: where did you take it from?
[19:00] <TheSheep> preecher: you can delete the partition
[19:00] <TheSheep> preecher: it will then appear as free space
[19:02] <preecher> TheSheep, i took it from my main partition where i have xubuntu installed--i was going to dual boot between a couple of different distros but decided i dont wish to do that now and want to put it back if possible  but i can always do a reinstall but was just looking for a easy way out
[19:06] <TheSheep> preecher: you can resize your old partiion when you delete that new one
[19:06] <preecher> TheSheep, i will do that then   many thanks-)
[19:11] <SiDi> hey there
[19:12] <grizly> Hi
[19:12] <SiDi> just moved to 11.10, I'd like to know among other things: what on earth were nautilus and gnome-settings-daemon installed and running on reboot // what is this new power notification icon in my notification area and how do I get rid of it // why is empathy not using my default font size anymore?
[19:12] <SiDi> and also, where is my wallpaper?
[19:15] <grizly> I just found the "Settings Manager" myself, but it seems to cover Notifications/Wallpapers/Startup stuff.. its in the middle of the app launcher
[19:16] <TheSheep> SiDi: empathy? nautilus? sounds like you have gnome installed
[19:17] <TheSheep> SiDi: the extra power manager icon is probably from gnome-power-manager
[19:17] <SiDi> TheSheep: I'm kind of furious yeah. I signed in for XFCE :D
[19:17] <grizly> Or he has a tick in the "Launch GNOME services on startup" under Compatibility options
[19:17] <TheSheep> SiDi: how did you install it?
[19:17] <SiDi> it was gnome-settings-daemon
[19:17] <SiDi> TheSheep: regular update;
[19:18] <SiDi> grizly: pretty sure I havent :d
[19:18] <TheSheep> grizly: that would not explain how they got to his disk in the first place
[19:18] <SiDi> gsd was long time uninstalled
[19:18] <TheSheep> SiDi: my theory is that you have some application installed than suddenly became dependent on nautilus in the new version
[19:18] <TheSheep> SiDi: so the update pulled it in
[19:18] <TheSheep> SiDi: but it's just a working hypothesis
[19:19] <SiDi> thats not a valid reason for that thing to think it can replace my fluffy and sweet xfdesktop
[19:19] <SiDi> and thunar
[19:19] <TheSheep> agreed, but nautilus is bad mannered like that
[19:19] <SiDi> your hypothesis is most likely right
[19:19] <TheSheep> just remove it
[19:19] <TheSheep> with package manager
[19:20] <SiDi> ahah i purged it :D
[19:20] <SiDi> now onto font size problems
[19:25] <SiDi> lol the release notes claim exaile is still the default player
[19:27] <TheSheep> to be honest I long ago lost touch with xubuntu defaults, picked my own apps for everything and sticking with them
[19:27] <TheSheep> and that's probably the best way for experienced users
[19:27] <TheSheep> that is, for those who actually care which application they are using
[19:35] <SiDi> TheSheep: yeah and thats why i dont want an upgrade to add me some apps i dont use
[19:35] <SiDi> :D
[19:37] <TheSheep> you can always remove them
[19:38] <TheSheep> but agreed, compulsive upgrading just because there is a new version is not good
[19:39] <SiDi> good bye pulseaudio
[19:40] <SiDi> i'm pissed that i update my system in order to have a recent kernel and apps and that then i have to uninstall DAEMONS that i never asked for
[19:40] <SiDi> Im not sure if i did remove xubuntu-desktop before
[19:40] <SiDi> but this still annoys me :D
[19:41] <TheSheep> pulseaudio is useful
[19:41] <SiDi> Ok, exaile is completely broken
[19:41] <SiDi> TheSheep: it's not to me :o)
[19:42] <TheSheep> SiDi: if you like to configure your sound card in every application separately, then sure, go ahead
[19:43] <SiDi> TheSheep: GStreamer provides enough interfaces for what I need
[19:44] <SiDi> i know its friday but i dont have time for troll wars :p
[19:49] <SiDi> hm
[19:50] <SiDi> ochosi: there have been changes in GStreamer
[19:50] <SiDi> ochosi: which might explain the xfce4-volumed bugs and why exaile isnt running anymore.
[19:50] <SiDi> I feel like installing debian :/
[20:05] <kapuze> does anybody know how to enable the thinkpad hotkeys under xubuntu? like Fn+F4 for suspend
[20:08] <Marion> So I am trying to run the 11.10 live cd and it wont support the kernel is there a fix
[20:11] <SiDi> kapuze: they should work by default unless your laptop's not properly recognized
[20:13] <kapuze> they are recognized well, they work under gnome
[20:18] <Marion2> So is there a fix fire the kernel
[20:19] <Arpad2> hello
[20:20] <kapuze> solved, i had to configure the shortcut in the settings
[20:22] <Arpad2> can 32 bit program versions be installed on 64 bit OS ?
[20:23] <SiDi> kapuze: then its probably that the key was bound by gnome-settings-daemon, and isnt managed by xfce. Which keys is it?
[20:23] <kapuze> Fn+F4 to suspend the computer
[20:27] <SiDi> kapuze: you might want to ask in #xfce. It should be done by xfce4-power-manager, I think. but it's been a while since I last had a look at these things
[20:30] <kapuze> SiDi: u are right man, i found a setting there in the powet-manager, thanks
[20:42] <Marion2> I am having a kernel issue

[20:56] <xubuntu467> hi
[21:37] <pertutatis> hi, anyone know how to disable scrolling on mousepad?  (xubuntu 11.10)
[21:39] <well_laid_lawn> pertutatis: you can edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf file for that
[21:42] <pertutatis> how can i do that?
[22:00] <well_laid_lawn> pertutatis: try in a terminal   gksu mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf
[22:00] <pertutatis> ok
[22:00] <well_laid_lawn> and turn anything with scroll in the name to off
[22:01] <pertutatis> sorry but nothing happens
[22:03] <pertutatis> what is suposed to run that?
[22:05] <executionist> what is the simplest way to video call someone from xubuntu to a windows machine?
[22:06] <well_laid_lawn> pertutatis: you'll need to at least logout for it to take affect
[22:06] <TheSheep> executionist: gmail
[22:06] <executionist> the mail client? or google talk?
[22:07] <well_laid_lawn> pertutatis: you could make the change through synclient immediately
[22:22] <pertutatis> sorry I dont get it
[22:24] <well_laid_lawn> pertutatis: synclient is the terminal application that lets you set touchpad properties
[22:24] <well_laid_lawn> man synclient
