I installed xubuntu as a package 'xubuntu-desktop' on my job place. And as pure 'xubutu' at home. At home I have 386 architecture and at job place amd64.

[14:47] http://it-diary.com/tutorials/install-compiz-emerald-xubuntu-11-10/ [14:47] from here [14:48] an older version.. I compiled mine, works fine [14:50] remove the one and compile 0.9.4 [14:50] sudo apt-get install git autoconf libtool libwnck1.0-cil-dev libwnck-dev intltool libdecoration0-dev you need these first.

[14:55] because I can't set the theme from Compiz [14:55] it's possible that I'm noob though [14:56] well then again I struggle to understand why anyone would install compiz to xubuntu, too [14:56] why not. [14:56] because it's nice [14:57] I love wobbly windows [14:57] I dont use xfce because its xfce, I use it because its as close to gnome2 as I had before :) [14:57] and other eyecandies [15:01] it still don't work [15:01] :_( [15:01] Myrtti: I know what you mean - but I never bothered with compiz when I was using gnome either ;) [15:02] Emerald Theme Manager -> Edit Themes -> Titlebar -> Title-bar object layout [15:02] hobgoblin: I just figured I got all the functionality compiz added by other means in xfce [15:02] I wanna set C(7)R(7)N:T:(46)M but when i paste in there it quits [15:03] Myrtti: never used any of the things I could have been using with compiz - devilspie and some kbd shortcuts did what I wanted - devilspie and mouse to next workspce does it here [15:03] but I'm a simple country boy :) [15:04] csenger41, dont paste it, type it.

[15:05] have you restarted it ? [15:06] yup restarted [15:06] what theme is it [15:07] no didn't removed [15:07] I'll try to replicate it [15:07] simply greybird [15:08] got a link? [15:08] what link? [15:08] you should have removed the debs you installed first... [15:10] ok removing now in Ubuntu Software Center [15:12] removed, reinstalling [15:14] no, still not good, quitting [15:14] any other idea? [15:16] the errorcode after quitting in terminal is: [15:16] (emerald-theme-manager:26702): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_key_file_set_string: assertion `string != NULL' failed [15:17] compiz¿? [15:17] yup [15:17] I need help in emerald [15:18] have you read this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/58002/how-do-i-enable-compiz-in-xubuntu [15:19] compiz is working fine so far [15:19] I can't set the theme in simply compiz [15:19] so installed emerald too and can't set the window button order [15:21] gimme a link to your theme [15:21] greybird [15:21] the default one in Xubuntu 11.10 [15:21] I didn't download it [15:22] its not in emerald [15:22] it is [15:22] csenger41, read the link i passed you [15:22] emeral wont work [15:22] GridCube, works for me. [15:22] usr/share/themes/greybird [15:22] that's not an emerald theme [15:23] oh well, sorry then [15:23] there is a Greybird.emerald file in there [15:23] ah [15:23] I never even knew that existed dude [15:23] lol [15:23] ok i'll try [15:23] I imported it from Emerald Theme Manager [15:23] there is one on gnome-look also [15:24] it might be the theme making it not work, or might be a bad emerald. [15:25] GridCube: there is no solution on that link [15:25] I just pasted your button order, worked [15:27] you read the errorcode? [15:27] remove and start again.. sudo make uninstall from the source folder [15:27] rm .emerald -rf as well [15:28] all I can say is, it works over here. [15:28] I gotta get ready for work :( [15:28] csenger41, :) ochosi here is the one who made greybird, he might be able to help you [15:29] so what's the problem exactly? [15:29] I installed Compiz and Emerald on Xubuntu 11.10 [15:30] and can't set the window button order in Emerald Theme Manager [15:30] because as soon as I try to do it the emerald quits [15:31] csenger41: well, i can't help you with that [15:31] emerald hasn't been maintained for ages [15:31] so if something like that happens there isn't much you can do i'm afraid [15:31] then how can I set the greybird theme in Compiz? [15:31] you can use the default compiz decorator and use greybird [15:31] how? [15:31] you have to set a gconf-variable [15:32] either via gconf-editor or maybe there's also a straight command for that [15:32] straight==direct(cli) [15:32] ochosi, he installed 0.8.8 debs from some site, then I advised compiling 0.9.4 from source, the same as I use without problems, he never removed the older debs before hand, so it's got a little messy I think. [15:32] which is the one Wi-Fi Mini PCI card that works best with Xubuntu? [15:33] now I removed the old version and reinstalled [15:34] mongy: possible yeah. but still it's possible that reordering the buttons in a theme doesn't work too well with the emerald theme editor... [15:34] how to set greybird in compiz? [15:34] csenger41: google is your friend, e.g. this turned up when i searched: "change the value of apps > metacity > general > theme gconf key" [15:34] ochosi, I reorder the one I use, and I also tried the theme he's using and it works fine. [15:34] ochosi, so i guess it all points back to his install of emerald. [15:34] mongy: well still, emerald is unmaintained and always has been a bit too buggy/unstable for my taste :) [15:35] mongy: but anyway, yeah, it might also be his installation [15:35] who knows... [15:35] csenger41, are you 32 or 64bit? [15:35] csenger41: or use the command line: "gconftool-2 -- type string --set /apps/metacity/general/theme greybird" [15:36] ochosi: already changed that, now trying to figure out restore original window decorator [15:36] 32bit [15:36] oops, there is a space too much there in the command line [15:36] csenger41: what do you mean by "original window decorator". xfwm4? [15:36] (if yes, alt+f2 > "xfwm4 --replace") [15:37] if i restore it, compiz is gone [15:37] csenger41, to use a metacity window theme with compiz, install compiz-gnome and do 'gtk-window-decorator --replace --metacity-theme=greybird or whatever theme. [15:38] I tried it once with ambiance, just needed the titlebar font adjusting with tweak tool. [15:39] sry internet died [15:39] mongy: ok ill try [15:39] csenger41, to use a metacity window theme with compiz, install compiz-gnome and do 'gtk-window-decorator --replace --metacity-theme=greybird or whatever theme. [15:40] i'm off for today [15:40] bye [15:40] csenger41, when I get chance I will make a deb for emerald if you like. just try and remove everything you have for emerald already, even the .emerald folder in your home. [15:44] mongy: great, ur command is working great [15:46] cool [16:00] I removed the lovely bottom panel/launcher (Xubuntu 11.10) some time ago. I'd like it back. HALP? [16:01] left click on the remaining panel [16:01] panel -> panel preferences [16:02] then click on the green + [16:02] I've tried that but it only adds a "regular" panel. [16:02] Not the neat-o launcher. [16:03] thats a simple panel with autohide and a bunch of launchers [16:03] and transparency [16:03] you can't undo but create another one with same options [16:03] yup [16:04] Oh? Okay. Thanks. I'll see what I can do. [16:04] its size was 36 pixels i think or 42 [16:04] not sure [16:04] Right-o. [16:04] I'll play around with it. [16:04] k good luck :3 [16:05] knome: can you kick someone? [16:05] csenger_, huh? [16:06] knome: just asking [16:06] yes, i am an op [16:06] Know how I can center the launchers on the bottom panel? [16:06] likemindead, you need to add spacing elements [16:06] How do? [16:06] panel preferences -> items [16:06] likemindead, like adding any other panel items [16:06] and the green button [16:06] + [16:07] they are called separators [16:07] Added a separator at each end, but everything's still on the left. [16:08] you need to tweak the prefences [16:08] they need to expand [16:08] Ah. Thanks! [16:08] u want the launchers to be in the middle? [16:08] Yup. got it. [16:08] I flipping love Xubuntu. [16:08] k great [16:08] me2 :3 [16:09] easpecially with wobbly windows [16:09] csenger_, those make me sick [16:09] knome: ahaha [16:09] csenger_, i'm not even using the xfce compositor [16:10] No Compiz for me. My Lenovo 3000 N100 circa 2006 does a lot better without eye candy. [16:10] knome: I like eyecandies [16:10] i like being productive :) [16:10] the eyecandy stuff is nice for presenting linux for newcomers, but i wouldn't use them in any production machine [16:11] :P [16:11] because sadly, eyecandy is what attracts people.. [16:11] not how *well* something works [16:11] Hence the rise of OS X (i.e. Fisher Price For Grown Ups). [16:12] knome: computers now far beyond being just productive not only nice [16:12] every eyecandy effect takes some time off the time you are able to work on stuff [16:13] knome: no if its well set [16:13] knome, most people just works on using the internet [16:13] * GridCube thinks this all is offtopic [16:13] GridCube, most people yes, but if you're actually *working on computers*, you are not [16:13] maybe ;) [16:14] knome: why, what are you working on computer? [16:14] csenger_, :D please go to #xubuntu-offtopic [16:14] csenger_, agreed with GridCube join us [18:21] ok I am having some issues with my linux, trying to fix them in recovery with netroot but I can't resolve ubuntu.com, what am I supposed to do now? [18:22] (in other words, I am trying to reinstall certain packages but my netroot won't let me because apparently it isn't connected to the net) [18:23] you could elaborate as to what the main issue is.. maybe some one will have a 'big picture' suggestion [18:23] ok so I installed xubuntu again today, but I was trying to make it dual screen, which wasn't working because I was missing ATI drivers (4800 series) [18:24] if this is a recently reinstalled OS, i wouldnt waste too much time 'rescuing' it [18:25] so I installed them, then tried accessing them with administrative priviliges, had to change my catalyst file (usr/share/fglrx/amdccclesu.desktop) [18:25] then logged out [18:25] and bam, GUI was gone after that [18:25] you should be able to remove whatever drivers you installed, or create a custom xorg.conf with the vesa driver or some other tricks from the recovery console [18:26] well I am not an expert in this, first time I had to do such a thing, so it's not easy for me atm [18:26] but yeah, working with recovery console, trying to remove the fglrx crap alltogether and starting fresh ... only issue is [18:27] whenever I do an apt-get install for a new driver package it says ubuntu.com is unresolved, while I am working on netroot [18:27] so I don't really get what's causing that [18:27] you shouldnt need internet to remove the package [18:27] nor force the vesa driver [18:28] well removing the package is done [18:28] it's the installing, don't really know how to install the vesa driver though? Maybe that will get me back into the GUI atleast [18:28] rover10: the vesa driver is there [18:28] you can just make a custom xorg.conf to use it [18:29] you might be able to run the graphics restore or whatever it is in the recovery area [18:30] haven't found anything like it, first time I have to do something like this :p [18:30] but I'm readin how I can make it work [18:30] rover10: i have done that before, and literally just reinstalled [18:31] not that you should do that.. but still, no reason to burn up time about it [18:31] nah you're probably right, nothing major was installed yet [18:31] oh [18:31] you might take this time to try some extreme measures to test [18:31] my graphics are back! [18:31] dont get caught up on the network access [18:31] that shouldnt matter, and you dont need it [18:32] well, it is the default graphics, but I'm back in business atleast :) I'm guessing just cleaning up the ATI stuff was enough to make it fall back on default [18:34] Well now that I am at it, what's the best way these days to create an extended dual screen set-up? I was trying to do it through catalyst control center but that kind of failed [18:35] rover10: best is a matter of opinion [18:35] i use arandr [18:35] still? that's what I used to to 4 years ago [18:35] ok, arandr it is, atleast I know how that works [18:38] theres an included tool, but i can only do mirroring with it [18:38] not to imply "only mirroring can be done with it" [19:00] hi [19:01] is it possible to use thunar to mount usb cameras automatically? [19:01] or can you only do it in external programs like gtkam [19:02] im not sure about that... i think it depends on how the device works.. if it shows up as a hard drive or if you have to 'extract' the information [19:03] its a USB PTP camera [19:03] it works under gtkam [19:03] or gphoto2 [19:03] Joshun: right... im not going to know what that is.. all i can relate it to is an mp3 player.. some show up as hard drives, some dont exactly work that way [19:04] you have to "sync" them [19:04] is it possible to get thunar to open it when it is plugged in [19:04] cool [19:04] you just dont want to click on it? to mount it? [19:04] it doesn't appear like a normal drive [19:05] it isn't even shown [19:05] gvfs is installed and everything [19:05] Joshun: OH.. i mis-read [19:05] it *doesnt* show up [19:05] When I plug in the camera, thunar pops open at the camers mount point [19:05] right... on some mp3 players, i saw ways to swith that, to make them show up [19:05] hello everyone [19:06] if you can do that, then the device is not intended to me mounted like that... like a hard drive [19:06] ^^ if you cant* [19:06] @Unit193 - what packages did you install for that to happen [19:06] or does it do it on a fresh install? [19:06] theres no packages... its just different [19:06] anyone could tell me how are these compiz, gnome, gtk and others things are? [19:06] csenger41: sure.. they are mostly not in xubuntu [19:07] I have some general knowledge, but it's a little bit messed up [19:07] Joshun: Well, not even close to a fresh install, but I either had it already, or installed it already [19:07] go to offtopic? [19:07] csenger41: sure... [19:07] csenger41: Just try a live CD of each one [19:08] did you use gvfs to open it [19:08] or did it do it automatically [19:08] Joshun: if its mountable, it just shows up [19:08] you can run sudo fdisk -l [19:08] i dont even think you'll see it there [19:08] it doesn't show up there [19:08] its not a mass storage device [19:09] its a PTP device [19:09] nautilus opens it [19:09] but thunar doesnt [19:09] interesting [19:09] holstein: I'm in offtopic [19:10] i can use thunar-volman-settings to set a program to open it with [19:10] Different camera [19:10] bit it doesn't open with thunar itself [19:12] yeah, im not familiar with whats happening with nautilus these days, but i say, use it [19:13] by the time you trick thunar out to be like it, the speed is probably not an issue anymore [19:13] i've found a way to do it manually [19:13] in thunar [19:13] if you do control L [19:13] and then put in [19:13] gphoto2://[usb:$CAMPORT] [19:14] where usb and camport are ids [19:14] cool... maybe you can script that... you are way more of a professional at it than i am [19:16] for mine i can do [19:16] gphoto2://[usb:001,007]/ [19:16] but the id changes every time [19:17] maybe thunar just doesn't have automatic ptp support [19:17] i'll just use gtkam for now [19:17] thanks anyway though [19:18] id hit the mailing list with that [19:18] yeah i might [20:37] Hi All. I recently installed Xubuntu 11.10 and I am having trouble synchronizing my Tomboy notes with my Ubuntu One account. I used to use Ubuntu 11.04 and I had no trouble synchronizing my Tomboy notes with Ubuntu one. However, when I got a new computer and started using Xubuntu 11.10, I was unable to retrieve most of my notes from the server to my local hard drive. My Ubuntu One account has all my notes (about 67 of them), but onl [20:37] y about 18 find their way to my laptop. I set up the synchronizing function using the preferences menu and I get a confirmation message that the set-up was successful. However, when I try to have Tomboy synchronize the notes, I get a "Failed to Synchronize" error message. The details window below the message only lists the messages that were successfully synchronized (those 18), nothing else. Does anybody know a workaround? Being a [20:37] ble to synch is very important for my academic work. Thanks a lot for your time! [20:40] joao: check out http://askubuntu.com/questions/71733/tomboy-notes-failed-to-synchronize [20:40] might be a bug, and not XFCE related [20:44] on a different note, if it's for academic work have a look at http://www.zotero.org [20:49] Hi Holstein, thanks for the link, but I followed the user's procedure and it didn't work for me. And you are right, it seems to be affecting everyone, not just xfce users. Do you know if I should direct my question to another channel? [20:49] joao: thats what im proposing... not sure if im 'right' [20:50] i dont use tomboy... im just saying, i see errors *not* relating to XFCE, and its not like its not working for you... its not "syncing" [20:50] wont hurt to ask and search around a bit [20:57] sure, I'll do that. Thanks for the help. Thanks TVasEyes, I will give Zotero another try - haven't used it in a long time, but it might be just what I need. See you guys! [21:43] is it possible to share a video file via ubuntu one or you need an extra paid account? [21:44] Marzata: i though you could get a link like in dropbox... right click and share a link? [21:45] i thought there was a public area last time i looked [21:46] well, same as I thought but it turned to be not quite like this [21:50] Marzata: http://ubuntuone.com/4Ri7GvVJL7WyAdOoEp2Fwi [21:50]
