[00:00] <ubuntu298> ?
[00:00] <ubuntu298> i first time use xubuntu
[00:02] <knome> hrundel50, use greybird, that's the most complete GTK2+3 xfce theme. other than that, not much you can do
[00:02] <hrundel50> knome: Um. yep - that's what I use.
[00:03] <ubuntu298> greybird
[00:03] <ubuntu298> greybird theme ?
[00:03] <hrundel50> ubuntu298: yes. greybird is a theme.
[00:03] <spanther> is greybird integrated into the standard installation? :)
[00:04] <knome> spanther, yes
[00:05] <hrundel50> knome: um. I'm on fedora.
[00:05] <knome> hrundel50, maybe you can ask the fedora channels for more information
[00:06] <hrundel50> knome: I guess. They don't have separate "xfce" chnannel though which kinda sucks.
[00:06] <hrundel50> knome: I'll try them. thanks.
[01:16] <zus> can anyone please tell me how come my .py script
[01:17] <zus> wont  run
[02:45] <jmcantrell> anyone know if it's possible to open a directory with an app in thunar?
[02:46] <knome> what are you trying to achieve?
[02:46] <jmcantrell> knome: open a directory in gthumb
[02:47] <knome> doesn't it open the whole directory when you open an photo with it?
[02:48] <jmcantrell> i'm not sure
[02:48] <knome> well it should
[02:51] <jmcantrell> ok
[02:57] <jmcantrell> knome: do you know if it's possible to do sub menus with thunar custom actions?
[03:20] <zacarias> how do you get a list of all packages available on the repositories using a command line?
[03:44] <phunyguy> Is there a color scheme that mimicks the standard ubuntu theme for Xubuntu?
[03:46] <well_laid_lawn> phunyguy: you'll need a theme for that
[03:46] <well_laid_lawn> !themes
[03:51] <phunyguy> so far 0 for 1
[03:51] <phunyguy> it didnt change any panel colors.
[03:51] <well_laid_lawn> that's the gtk theme
[03:52] <phunyguy> DOH, my bad.
[03:52] <phunyguy> I feel sheepish
[03:52] <phunyguy> selected radiance instead of ambience by accident
[03:52] <well_laid_lawn> heh ;)
[03:52] <phunyguy> xD
[03:53] <jrbrtsn> Can anyone point me to some information about how to make my laptop suspend when I close the lid?
[03:54] <phunyguy> goodnight
[03:57] <holstein> jrbrtsn: down near the time, you should see a battery or a plug... the power applet... right click there and go to 'preferences'
[03:57] <holstein> poke around there and see what you can find
[04:00] <jrbrtsn> holstein, that pulls up the XFCE power manager configuration.  I've got the hibernate button action set to hibernate, and the suspend button action to suspend.
[04:04] <well_laid_lawn> it's not something I've done but I think you might need a udev rule for that
[04:11] <jrbrtsn> well_laid_lawn, I'll check that out.  I see that there is a script '/etc/acpi/lid.sh' that should get activated when the lid is closed.
[04:11] <well_laid_lawn> k
[04:29] <holstein> jrbrtsn: i find it in the GUI
[04:30] <holstein> http://imagebin.org/184427
[04:34] <jrbrtsn> holstein, thanks man - I've already got those set.  So far I've run acpi_listen, and determined that no acpi event is detected, so the GUI setting doesn't matter.
[04:35] <jrbrtsn> Must be something unique about my System76 panp6 laptop.
[04:35] <holstein> jrbrtsn: cool... i havent had to get dirty like that for a while
[04:36] <holstein> i do have a laptop thats not sleeping, but i havent had time to trouble shoot it yet
[04:36] <holstein> havent taken the time, i should say
[04:36] <jrbrtsn> holstein, thanks for the tips.  I think I'll send an email to System76 and see what they have to say.
[04:37] <holstein> i would probably install XFCE or xubuntu desktop on the OS they put together
[04:37] <holstein> or add their PPA or whatever it is
[04:43] <jrbrtsn> Giving up for the night ;-)
[06:05] <kharnov> Hi, I'd like to disable the popup notifications on Xubuntu 11.10. How can I do this?
[06:08] <well_laid_lawn> khaard: settings manager - notifications
[06:09] <well_laid_lawn> oops tab fail sorry khaard kharnov ^^
[06:09] <kharnov> I'm there, but there's no option to get rid of them.
[06:11] <kharnov> I see Theme, Default Position, Disappear after, Opacity.
[06:11] <well_laid_lawn> and setting disappear to 0 doesn't work either
[06:12] <kharnov> Yeah there's no option for 0.
[06:12] <well_laid_lawn> I typed in 0 and it changed to 1 when I closed it
[06:12] <kharnov> Yeah.
[06:15] <well_laid_lawn> kharnov: in xfce4-settings-editor you can set it to 0
[06:16] <kharnov> Nope, they still pop up.
[06:17] <well_laid_lawn> notifyd must override it maybe ask in #xfce if no one else in here knows
[06:18] <kharnov> If I kill the notifyd process, it starts up again.
[06:19] <kharnov> If I try to remove xfce4-notifyd's package, it requires me to remove blueman, update-notifier, and xubuntu-desktop.
[06:20] <kharnov> Actually, I don't think I need any of those, since xubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage.
[06:20] <kharnov> And I don't use bluetooth and I do all my updating with Synaptic anyway.
[06:20] <kharnov> Maybe that'll work.
[06:23] <kharnov> Yes! Removing it worked.
[06:23] <kharnov> Okay, problem solved.
[06:27] <well_laid_lawn> woot!
[09:28] <tjingboem> how can i change the color of the background in a program? Someone told me i have to change the theme but i see no diffrence
[09:29] <tjingboem> can it be that somehow portions of the theme ofa Kubuntu i had installed are used?
[09:30] <tjingboem> or does Xubuntu has its own theme managers and uses only that?
[09:38] <Guest88786> hi guy someone can explain me how to use gigolo? i'm a noob i want see shared folder on my windows xp

[14:22] <well_laid_lawn> to get the errors
[14:23] <gorthaug> ok..
[14:24] <gorthaug> the program it's restretto, isn't?
[14:24] <well_laid_lawn> ristretto
[14:24] <knome> gorthaug, ristretto has problems in oneiric if you have thumbnailbar enabled. i suggest using gthumb for now
[14:25] <gorthaug> ok
[14:25] <gorthaug> i've thumbnailbar enabled
[14:25] <gorthaug> thanks
[14:25] <well_laid_lawn> didn't know that
[14:25] <well_laid_lawn> cheers
[14:26] <knome> well_laid_lawn, it pretty much will freeze if you have thumbnailbar enabled :P
[14:26] <well_laid_lawn> ahh k
[14:32] <gorthaug> mmm another thing... my keywoard has and volume control... there is a way to make work this on xfce?
[14:32] <gorthaug> keyboard sorry :D
[14:33] <KrisDouglas> gorthaug, the volume control just works on mine, what keyboard is it/
[14:33] <KrisDouglas> ?
[14:36] <gorthaug> ufff... it's an HP... it's have almost 15 years :D
[14:37] <gorthaug> i don't see any model name
[14:37] <Sysi> gorthaug: you can add hotkeys in settings, command would be "amixer -q set Master 5%+"
[14:37] <Sysi> 5%- for lowering
[14:37] <well_laid_lawn> use xev to find the key and set a shortcut
[14:38] <Sysi> well_laid_lawn: if key isn'
[14:39] <Sysi> isn't recognised by xfce settings, where do you set hotkeys based on info from xev?
[14:40] <gorthaug> amixer -q set Master 5%+
[14:40] <gorthaug> mm
[14:40] <gorthaug> gorthaug@gorthaug-pc:~$ amixer -q set Master 5%+
[14:40] <gorthaug> amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Master',0
[14:40] <well_laid_lawn> Sysi: using xmodmap perhaps? never had that issue
[14:41] <Sysi> well_laid_lawn: well, you don't need info from xev if you use xfce settings then
[14:41] <well_laid_lawn> k
[14:43] <gorthaug> mmm i've 2 sound cards in my computer, one in the motherboard that i've "off" in the BIOS and a pci card... but alsamixer take the integrated card by default, how can i change this?
[14:44] <Sysi> install pavucontrol (and use pulseaudio, which is there by default)

[16:12] <spanther> hello there. I've installed the newest 11.10 and found 2 entries under proprietary drivers. one ati/amd as main entry and one said later updates. the main one I can install just fine but the later updates ever give out an error pointing at /var/log/jockey.log
[16:23] <phunyguy_work> OK so I am looking at xfce-look.org for some themes, and some say xfce, and some say gtk2.0, etc.  the GTK2.0 ones tend to look better, what is the difference?
[16:24] <phunyguy_work> spanther, I wouldnt bother with that
[16:24] <spanther> ok :)
[16:24] <phunyguy_work> had issues with them. One installed but didnt work correctly, the other wouldnt install
[16:24] <spanther> the main drivers just work fine (so far, as I can say) but these updates on the second line don't install correctly :/
[16:25] <phunyguy_work> up to you.
[16:25] <spanther> yep, I had installed the updates, then the main was uninstalled lol. then i reinstalled the main again :)
[16:25] <phunyguy_work> I use the non-restricted.
[16:25] <spanther> now i only use the main :)
[16:27] <spanther> but as you said, maybe the main don't work correctly too :/
[16:27] <spanther> I have to check this later with a graphical program or something like that
[16:28] <spanther> you use the open "radeon"?
[16:28] <phunyguy_work> whatever came with the OS
[16:29] <spanther> ah ok, so you have no 3D acceleration?
[16:29] <phunyguy_work> yes I do
[16:29] <phunyguy_work> and it works fantastic
[16:29] <phunyguy_work> HD 4550
[16:29] <spanther> which card if i may ask? :)
[16:29] <phunyguy_work> I am psychic
[16:29] <spanther> well I own a HD 6870
[16:30] <phunyguy_work> yeah you may need the good ones
[16:30] <phunyguy_work> I dont
[16:30] <spanther> lucky you :P
[16:30] <phunyguy_work> the only issue I had with the restricted driver, was dual monitors
[16:31] <phunyguy_work> couldn't get xrandr to expand the desktop without cloning
[16:31] <spanther> I only use one monitor at a time :) use my HDTV as big monitor for a year now lol
[16:31] <phunyguy_work> hah!
[16:32] <spanther> I had some weird bugs the last days under windows. sometimes (happened more than once) I opened my browser (firefox) windows just scrolled up and down randomly without doing anything O.o
[16:33] <spanther> I had a bad feeling and since I don't game anymore and enjoy the harddisk encryption I now completely switched to linux on all my machines :)
[16:33] <phunyguy_work> same.  Dont game much
[16:34] <spanther> I did once, but that's before DRM, activation and bugs at release killed gaming :P
[16:34] <phunyguy_work> thats what consoles are for
[16:34] <phunyguy_work> !offtopic
[16:34] <phunyguy_work> :d
[16:34] <phunyguy_work> :D*
[16:35] <spanther> come there :P
[17:04] <tjingboem> i freaked around with the Appearance Settings and lost my theme. How can i revert to standard theme of Xubuntu11.10?
[17:56] <phunyguy_work> OK so I am looking at xfce-look.org for some themes, and some say xfce, and some say gtk2.0, etc.  the GTK2.0 ones tend to look better, what is the difference?
[17:57] <ochosi> phunyguy_work: the xfce-themes are usually only window-manager themes. (at least if they got categorized correctly)
[18:01] <phunyguy_work> ochosi, I dont know what that means
[18:01] <ochosi> phunyguy_work: window-manager themes change your window-borders (the box that contains close, maximize, minimize, window-title etc.)
[18:02] <ochosi> phunyguy_work: gtk-themes change everything else
[18:02] <phunyguy_work> hmmm..  some of these have ppa repos to add, but they dont work
[18:02] <phunyguy_work> is that a common occurance?
[18:02] <phunyguy_work> they look really cool too :(
[18:09] <phunyguy_work> like this one.  http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Orta?content=134123
[18:09] <phunyguy_work> ochosi ^^
[18:11] <ochosi> phunyguy_work: most likely your xubuntu-version and the one supplied by the ppa don't match
[18:11] <ochosi> phunyguy_work: you can dl the theme though anyway, extract it and install it by hand (e.g. "sudo mv $themefolder /usr/share/themes/" if you want to install it systemwide)
[18:12] <cla_> qualche smanettone italiano?
[18:13] <phunyguy_work> !italian | cla_
[18:40] <phunyguy_work> I see some of those theme photos have these cool mac-style docs...  is that possible in Xubuntu?
[18:45] <baizon> yes it is
[19:10] <phunyguy_work> Oh man, this is looking fantastic.  got AWN installed, just need to get color themes right
[19:51] <Guest71358> How do I move the terminal icon from the drop down menu to the bar at the top?
[19:52] <Sysi> drag and drop (on 11.04 or 11.10)
[19:52] <Guest71358> I have lts
[19:53] <Sysi> add new items → launcher, command is xfce4-terminal, set others to be what you want
[19:55] <Guest71358> thank you.
[20:10] <phunyguy_work> So I seem to have broken window decorations...... how can I recoer it?
[20:10] <phunyguy_work> recover*
[20:12] <phunyguy_work> i cant change window focus, i have no titlebar, etc.  I can right click on the desktop and get the app menu but thats it
[20:13] <Sysi> xfwm4 --replace
[20:13] <Sysi> rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions and possibly save session on logout
[20:14] <alexeyy> my desktop doesn't work. When i try run it in terminal i get Segmentation fault. (sorry for my english)
[20:14] <phunyguy_work> OH MAN, fantastic!!!
[20:15] <phunyguy_work> genius, you are.
[20:20] <alexeyy> application menu doesnt work too
[20:23] <_empty> How do I get the "dock" back? I accidently deleted it and cant figure out how to get it back.. :P
[20:25] <phunyguy_work> Aaaand I am back in business.  Got AWN dock running perfect, and unity-style appmenu at the top replacing the window buttons
[20:35] <falken_> good evening all. I wonder if any of you guys would have time to look at my wireless networking issue. Detailed info on the following Ubuntu forums thread. SO far there is only one person replying and I would be interested in a wider opinion. thanks.
[20:36] <falken_> This is the url: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1881969
[20:42] <falken_> ok thanks anyway. night.
[22:03] <_empty> How do I get the "dock" back? I accidently deleted it and cant figure out how to get it back.. :P
[22:03] <knome> _empty, if you removed it, there's no easy way to get it back
[22:04] <_empty> I kinda removed the window..
[22:04] <_empty> And then it got removed..
[22:04] <_empty> Workspace 1 got removed then it disapeard.. :P
[22:04] <_empty> Maby I should just reinstall then.. :P
[22:05] <knome> nope
[22:07] <_empty> ?
[22:08] <knome> well, somebody should have the default panel configuration
[22:08] <knome> you could copy that
[22:08] <knome> i don't, so i'm unfortunately unable to help
[22:09] <_empty> knome: Ok, thanks for the help anyway!

[22:25] <jakob__> hello
[22:25] <jakob__> i came here b/c I have a question regarding xubuntu.
[22:25] <jakob__> (xubuntu.org/help sent me here)
[22:26] <jakob__> thing is: "Update Manager" is popping up, asking me to install upgrades.
[22:27] <jakob__> Is there a way to make this thing quiet? usually i would've used gconf-editor and disabled /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch. but that doesnt work anymore. Any tips?
[22:27] <Sysi> settings → sessiond and startup → autostart
[22:28] <Sysi> and possibly rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions
