holsteinas expected00:52
Space-DuckI can type a entire line, then set back and watch it type it out.00:52
Space-Duckreal slow00:52
holsteinnot sure... thats not the case for me though00:53
holsteintry it on a nother machine... with another user account on the same machine00:53
Space-Duckahh.. crap. It's the file browser plugin00:53
go8765Help me restore dragging and selection by mouse please00:53
Space-Duckdisableing it and gedit works fine00:54
Space-DuckI kind of need that plugin :(00:54
holsteingo8765: you could also try another user account00:54
go8765holstein, I try to describe better - in openbox all work good, in gnome - bed00:56
go8765and I dont understand what is the problem :(00:56
holsteini havent learned much about gnome3 yet00:56
go8765holstein, gnome2 I use :)00:57
holsteingo8765: in 11.10?00:57
go8765no 11.0400:58
go8765holstein, natty00:59
holsteinwhat is the issue?00:59
holsteinhave you tried in another user account?00:59
go8765holstein, no I didnt.01:00
go8765when I type something - I cant select this be mouse - onle cntr-a01:01
go8765*only01:01
holsteingo8765: how did you break it?01:01
go8765holstein, what do you mean?01:02
holsteingo8765: do you remember what settings you were messing with that broke that funcionality in gnome?01:03
go8765holstein, no01:03
go8765i dont use gnome last time01:03
go8765i use openbox the last time01:03
holsteingo8765: make a new user, and test01:03
go8765and now i try to run gnome session and find this01:04
holsteinthen, you can go in and get rid of the offending mis-configured settings in your /home01:04
Space-DuckHow can I create a bookmark in xubuntu? similar to in Gnome "Places" -> "Connect to Server..."01:10
holsteinive been trying gigolo01:12
Space-Duckgigolo?01:13
holsteingigolo - frontend to manage connections to remote filesystems using GIO/GVfs01:13
holstein!gigolo01:14
holstein!info gigolo01:14
ubottugigolo (source: gigolo): frontend to manage connections to remote filesystems using GIO/GVfs. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.1-3 (oneiric), package size 140 kB, installed size 856 kB01:14
Space-DuckDo I need to start Gigolo every time I want to use the connection? or will it autorun after I add a connection?01:17
holsteinfrom what i have found, its like the one in gnome01:18
holsteinits there til you unmount it01:18
madnickhm is gigolo the same as01:18
madnick!gvfs-frontend01:18
holsteinmadnick: good question01:18
holstein!info gvfs-frontend01:19
ubottuPackage gvfs-frontend does not exist in oneiric01:19
madnicki see01:19
Space-Duckthe folder field is supposed to be the remote directory, correct?01:27
go8765holstein, in other user all good workind. but i dont understand how ta solve my user01:27
holsteingo8765: you can remove the .gnome directories... the ones to do with the config that are in your /home01:28
holsteinyou can just move them temprorarily, and test it01:28
vaevthink I pulled in gvfs-backends and xfce4-goodies and got network browsing under thunar01:30
vaevafter a restart01:30
Space-DuckI think I might just install nautilus01:31
holsteinim quite happy with gigolo01:31
Space-DuckHow can you make rissetto move forward/back? I have dir with jpgs and psds, I open a jpg with Rissetto and forward/back are disabled.05:23
Space-DuckAm I doing it wrong?05:24
well_laid_lawnSpace-Duck: you need to open a directory to browse the dir05:28
well_laid_lawnit has an open dir button05:28
Space-DuckSo I was doing it wrong05:30
Space-Duckstill wish it opened the current directory automatically... but I'll overlook that cause it lets me preview psds05:31
Sysiwell_laid_lawn: there's option on setings to open entire directory, but then you need to first use back/space to get GUI-buttons work06:57
well_laid_lawnoh cheers for that - sounds like it could be friendlier tho06:57
SysiI'm not exactly sure if it's still like that in 11.10.. psybsd has made quite a bunch of fixes recently06:59
Sysistill seems to be that way.. I use keyboard anyway but not nice if you prefer mouse07:03
SkyNetMasterhi, could you advice me pleas on how do I disable window roll up effect?10:04
go8765can anybody help me with LO?  I make for my text effect - mowing on straight line, but when text start mowing - I see little deviation on left/right12:56
=== go8765 is now known as help_me_with_lib
=== help_me_with_lib is now known as help_me_with_LO

blutgensanyone else ever notice how "public" samba usershares _NEVER_ work15:05
blutgensguest_ok is set, permissions are all fine15:05
blutgensyet samba says "eff you i can't find that file"15:05
blutgenssuch bullshit15:05
blutgensonce upon a time making a simple "public" guest share was easy15:06
holsteini just use ssh15:06
holsteinhttp://www.swish-sftp.org/15:06
blutgenswhich is fine until you want so share something with a neophyte windows person15:07
holsteini got samba working more just to say i could15:07
blutgens"oh here go and install and learn how to use this"15:07
holsteinthe windows persona can install http://www.swish-sftp.org/15:07
blutgensyes, i'm aware of it and how it works15:07
holsteinits pretty simple15:07
blutgensthanks, pro-tip: not everyone in here is a noob15:07
holsteinyou could be a programmer, and not aware of swish-ftp15:08
holsteini wasnt trying to imply you were a noob15:08
holsteinjust that i chose to stop trying to make linux speak windows, and its been great :)15:08
blutgenspoint is, i want to just hand out the occasional \\laptop-hostname\public to lesser beings that run trash operating systems15:09
blutgensit used to be easy with samba15:09
blutgensadd an entry to smb.conf, make sure perms were cool and done15:10
holsteini was trying to set samba up like that again recently ... a share for a bunch of windows users to write to15:10
blutgensnow it wants to act like a douche win2k server 100% of the time15:10
blutgensi'd like to shake tridge and allison about by their damn ears and says "dudes Y U BREAK MY BELOVED SAMBA!"15:11
holsteinmight be a 'feature' ;)15:11
blutgensi want the old "easy mode" back =(15:12
blutgensthis usershare nonsense is bollocks15:12
blutgensi don't care about damn domain sid15:12
blutgensor any of the other such nonsense15:12
holsteinblutgens: have you tried swat? i heard about it and havent gotten around to trying it15:14
holsteindoesnt seem trivial to setup15:14
blutgensswat is just a little web based app, takes nothing at all to setup, never has15:14
holsteinso, you have tried it then?15:14
blutgensi'm trying to sort out all the various "security models"15:14
holsteinright... i was wondering if you had tried it, if you felt it helps with that15:15
blutgenslooks like "security = server" is what I'm after15:15
blutgensnah it's just a clicky interface to the config file is all15:15
ablomenblutgens, set security to share, and then force a user on the shares15:16
blutgensyeah that's what I did15:17
ablomenhttps://gist.github.com/1348003 << i use something like this for shares15:17
blutgensseems to break a buncha shit15:17
blutgensfucking samba people15:17
blutgensgrrr15:17
blutgenseff it15:18
blutgensi'll use apache instead15:18
blutgenssamba can go suck a fatty along with windows15:19
ablomenand make sure to use `smbpasswd username` to set an password15:19
holsteintheres the spirit!15:19
blutgensit used to be so easy15:19
holsteinablomen: i would need to do that for every windows user though correct?15:19
ablomen(they won't have to enter it, it just has to be there in the smaba password file)15:19
ablomenno15:19
ablomenbecause you force the user on the share15:19
blutgensthey have broken "guest" access entirely15:19
ablomenso they don't even have to enter a username and/or password15:20
blutgensutterly ridiculous15:20
blutgensit makes me a little sad that it's easier on windows to have a "public" share15:20
holsteinim not sure i follow... so i can smbpasswrd bollox, and all the windows machines can use the share?15:20
blutgensnet usershare add <all the other shit> is supposed to just "work"15:20
ablomenholstein, see the gist, you can force a user on the share15:21
ablomenholstein, if you don't, they _will_ get a login screen15:21
holsteinright, but i need to force each user? thats the question15:21
holsteini dont want to add 40 users, and maintain it15:21
holsteini just want a public guest share with read/write access15:21
ablomenholstein, that's basicly what this is15:22
ablomenholstein, so you can make a share, called guest, which points to /home/guest/samba/ and force the user guest, then everybody connects as guest on that share automagicly15:22
holsteini'll see if i can revisit this then, and give it a shot15:23
GregounoursHi all, quick question. What's a litgh webradio player for Xubuntu (oneiric).16:30
Gregounourssomething that won't install 3000 gnome depencies16:30
AzelphurUsing XUbuntu 11.10, if I use file-roller to open an archive and try to drag / drop into thunar, it locks my mouse pointer and I have to drop to a tty to kill file-roller to get my mouse back. Any way to get drag/drop archive support?16:46
SysiGregounours: exaile, maybe audacious17:10
xubuntu144hello17:36
kapuzedoes anybody know where the padevchooser has gone in oneiric?18:48
kapuzenobody?18:50
hobgoblinkapuze: hi - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/padevchooser/0.9.3-2ubuntu419:14
hobgoblinapaprently it's gone and replaced with pavucontrol19:14
kapuzeseems link, u know an alternative?19:16
hobgoblinpavucontrol maybe - I never need to muck about with pa so I rarely need to look for anything else - sorry19:17
kapuzei want to connect various applications with different sinks/sources, this is not possible with pavucontrol19:19
hobgoblinno idea I'm afraid - from the lp page it looks like it was unmaintained upstream - really I have no idea19:23

yrgI have installed xubuntu-desktop in addition to ubuntu-desktop, so now I have both Gnome and xfce. Each time I start nautilus, all desktop icons disappear, and the background gets reset. How do I prevent that from happening?21:41
yrg(This happens in xfce only)21:42
well_laid_lawnyou need the --no-desktop option when starting nautilus in xfce21:42
yrgThank you.21:48
well_laid_lawncheers21:49
yrgHow do I add current input locale indicator to xfce?22:12
xubuntu919hi guys, trying to install awn synaptic says that it has to install 206mb of packages22:16
well_laid_lawnyrg: there's a keyboard layout switch panel plugin iirc22:16
xubuntu919is it normal?22:16
well_laid_lawnxubuntu919: why would you think the package manager is wrong? seems a lot for a panel tho22:18
xubuntu919to me seems bad that a dock need all that styff and space22:19
xubuntu919*stuff22:19
xubuntu699i have problem with xubuntu on ssd - when i plug in and plug out my ssd, my os is broken down...22:20
xubuntu919almost unbelieavable22:20
xubuntu699Of coure i unmount before22:20
yrgHow do I change font size in the applications menu? It's ok elsewhere, but this menu has a rather small size.22:28
ochosiyrg: unfortunately you can't really change it independently of the rest of the desktop (at least not easily, but i'm not sure if at all)22:57
yrgI have both gnome and xfce installed, and I think I ran some appearance manager which let me set another window border style earlier. In the xfce settings manager, the appearance section doesn't let me choose a window borders style (eg. 'metabox', 'simple', etc) - do you know what appearance program could this have been?23:02
knomeyrg, "window manager" from settings manager23:02
