[02:33] <blawiz> i do 'PATH="$PATH:/BACKUP/bin";export PATH' and gmrun still does not recognize scripts in my script-folder. after google'ing it i think it might be a xfce(xubuntu) problem
[02:33] <blawiz> anyone else having path-problems with gmrun?
[03:42] <linuxjones> is there a way to log into remote desktop and then use the monitor mirror the remote desktop session?
[04:13] <holstein> linuxjones: are you asking about a dual monitor hack?
[04:18] <linuxjones> holstein, yeah
[04:18] <linuxjones> kinda, i guess
[04:25] <holstein> linuxjones: ill try and find the youtube vid i referenced.. its kinda hacky though... i gave up on it
[04:27] <linuxjones> holstein, nice, thanks, what were you trying to do it for if you dont mind me aking
[04:41] <linuxjones> i want like x11 forwarding, but backwards, vlc blah.avi in ssh, and it plays it on the remote desktop

[08:50] <well_laid_lawn> cheers
[08:53] <mang0> Hey all, I'm having real trouble with pulseaudio. It was working fine a couple of days ago, and now it's suddenly not working. In the xfce volume control icon, instead of seeing my soundcard and stuff listed, it just says "Playback: Dummy Output (PulseAudio Mixer)" and the other option is "Capture: Monitor of Dummy Output (PulseAudio Mixer). This is really weird, I've not seen these before. What can I do? I wnt sound back ;__; I posted this yesterday, b
[08:53] <mang0> ut had to go to bed before I could get an answer to fix it...
[08:59] <well_laid_lawn> mang0: did the sound stop after an upgrade?
[09:08] <Kingsy> guys, I was setting up a vnc server yesterday and in the xstartup I just put initxfce4  <--- I THINK something like that.. when I opened the vnc server it loaded xfce fine but it wasnt the normal instance.. it looked like default or something.. how do you get it to start the xubuntu interface?
[09:08] <mang0> well_laid_lawn: Well, I recently switched from gnome/unity over to xfce completely, and removed gnome. The sound has only been having problems after that. But, it was working yesterady...
[09:08] <mang0> yesterday*
[09:44] <well_laid_lawn> !info pavucontrol
[10:09] <Kingsy> no-one around today ?
[10:20] <Feye> Is there a way in Xubuntu to get rid of a login manager and boot directly into the X environment omitting a password ? By changing a runlevel, or something like that ?
[10:22] <Feye> I found it possible in a rergular Ubuntu using their Gnome Administration utility, but there is no such thing in xfce. Thank you.
[10:24] <TheSheep> Feye: you can set the login manager to autologin
[10:25] <TheSheep> !lightdm | Feye
[10:25] <Kingsy> TheSheep: any ideas about my issue?
[10:25] <Kingsy> been googling for a while now with no avail
[10:26] <TheSheep> Kingsy: I don't use vnc, but I suppose you could just login to that account locally, choosing the xubuntu session as default
[10:26] <TheSheep> Kingsy: after that it should use it by default everywhere
[10:27] <Kingsy> yeah, well the problem isnt local really, I choose xubuntu session when I log in, but if I use vnc before I log in, then it starts my user with the standard xfce session.. and does so until I log the user out and log back in, it would be nice to just start the xubuntu session from xstartup
[10:28] <Kingsy> TheSheep: I don't really know who/where to ask.. even google doesnt seem to know
[10:28] <Feye> Thank you.
[10:47] <Kingsy> well if anyone gets a second and has an idea about my problem give me a shout.. thanks
[10:56] <baizon> !ask
[11:37] <Kingsy> baizon: I did ummm 1 sec I will repeat
[11:37] <baizon> i didnt receive anything
[11:37] <Kingsy> guys, I was setting up a vnc server yesterday and in the xstartup I just put initxfce4  <--- I THINK something like that.. when I opened the vnc server it loaded xfce fine but it wasnt the normal instance.. it looked like default or something.. how do you get it to start the xubuntu interface?
[11:38] <Kingsy> correction tho.. its not initxfce4   its    startxfce4 \
[11:38] <Kingsy> but still I don't know how to start a xubuntu interface
[11:41] <Kingsy> baizon: any thoughts?
[11:41] <Kingsy> google doesnt even know :P
[11:43] <baizon> Kingsy: try "xinit xfce4-session"
[11:46] <Kingsy> 1 sec
[11:47] <Kingsy> baizon: naa that doesnt load the desktop.. you a grey window
[11:47] <Kingsy> just*
[11:47] <Kingsy> and also a xterm because that is in my xstartup too
[11:48] <Kingsy> hehe the cursor is also a bit black CROSS
[12:15] <Kingsy> well.. any other ideas from anyone is welcome.. cos I am still stuck on this
[13:07] <Kingsy> baizon: any other thoughts on that?
[13:13] <baizon> Kingsy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers
[13:13] <baizon> tryd that?
[14:16] <Kingsy> baizon: I don't see anywhere on there that mentions how to do it...
[16:03] <ThePendulum> How does one format an usb drive in xfce/xubuntu?
[16:03] <ThePendulum> *a
[16:03] <TheSheep> ThePendulum: with the startup disk creator
[16:03] <TheSheep> ThePendulum: in system menu
[16:04] <ThePendulum> Oh hey
[16:04] <ThePendulum> Can I also use it to throw an openSUSE installation on it?
[16:04] <TheSheep> sure
[16:04] <TheSheep> any iso
[16:04] <ThePendulum> TIL
[16:04] <ThePendulum> thanks
[16:05] <ThePendulum> Hm
[16:05] <ThePendulum> The ISO doens't show up when I select it
[16:06] <ThePendulum> I'll just go with the regular method then, thanks for at least showing me a way to format that drive :)
[16:06] <TheSheep> there should be an 'other' button or something like that
[16:06] <TheSheep> yw
[16:06] <ThePendulum> Yeah, I clicked that one and selected the openSUSE Gnome installation, but after I select it, it won't show up in the Startup Disc Creator list
[16:09] <TheSheep> I see
[16:16] <linuxjones> is there a way to run vlc on a remote machine
[16:16] <Unit193> In what way?
[16:17] <ThePendulum> linuxjones: The media player?
[16:18] <linuxjones> yeah
[16:19] <Unit193> A few ways, depends on what you want to do.
[16:20] <ThePendulum> What prevents you from running it?
[16:21] <linuxjones> nothing, i have another xubuntu install on a pc thats connected to my tv, and i would like to be able to play movies on it either with ssh or some net command
[16:23] <Unit193> linuxjones: Alright, you can either use nvlc (better option for remote control), or DISPLAY=:0 vlc
[16:23] <Unit193> Both you can put the filename after.
[16:30] <Adriannom> hi.  i've installed compiz but even though i've updated /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml to use compiz it just doesn't.  any ideas where i can go from here?
[16:31] <Adriannom> i'm on 11.10
[16:34] <Unit193> compiz --replace is generally the way to do it.
[16:36] <Adriannom> Unit193, that would load the wm, then replace the wm.  i want to load the correct wm initially.  anyway, when i try compiz --replace with xfce4 selected as the window manager it says that the window manager is already loaded and crashes
[16:37] <Unit193> After you would have done that, you'd have checked "Save Session" when logging out.
[16:39] <Unit193> But otherwise, dunno as I've never used it.
[16:40] <Adriannom> save session would load compiz --replace on login right?
[16:40] <Adriannom> if so compiz --replace isn't working for me :(
[16:41] <Adriannom> it did before i changed the window decorator in compiz settings to xfce4
[16:41] <Adriannom> but now it complains that the wm is already loaded
[17:12] <Adriannom> no help on here, #ubuntu, #xfce or #compiz.  any other channels i could try?
[17:14] <Marzata> compiz? what for?
[17:15] <Adriannom> why did i join the channel or why am i trying to use compiz?
[17:16] <Adriannom> primarily i need the zoom feature.  the other stuff would be nice too, but not entirely necessary i guess
[17:16] <Marzata> ah so
[17:18] <Adriannom> ah so indeed
[17:48] <mongy> I use it without problems.  I added compiz --replace ccp to startup applications,
[17:55] <Adriannom> mongy, which window decorator?  emerald?
[18:38] <mongy> yup
[18:44] <leo-unglaub> hi, is ther a netinstall iso of xubuntu?
[18:44] <TheSheep> !install
[18:44] <leo-unglaub> my normal usb drive ist broken and i only have a 512mb stick to reinstall my pc
[18:45] <Sysi> you can make minimal installation and then install xubuntu-desktop
[18:45] <Sysi> (if there isn't ready image)
[18:46] <leo-unglaub> Sysi: you mean th default ubuntu netinstall wothout unity and then installing xubuntu-desktop?
[18:47] <Sysi> yeah, minimal ubuntu (not server)
[18:47] <Sysi> you maybe can select xubuntu desktop already when installing
[18:48] <leo-unglaub> Sysi: thats a great idea
[18:48] <leo-unglaub> thanks !!!
[18:53] <Sysi> np
[19:04] <leo-unglaub> Sysi: it works perfect, thanks for the tip. now, after 1 year of **** unity i am the first time happy again with my desktop
[19:05] <Sysi> I've been happy with xfce for years :p
[19:06] <leo-unglaub> in good old gnome2 times ther was no need for me to look around...but i have to say...xfce looks really great
[19:23] <xubuntu705> i am installing now, but i installed before and when i did an upade the mouse froze and the keyboard stopped working is this a common problem that will prevent use
[19:23] <xubuntu705> of xubuntu for nothing but hobby systems
[19:27] <xubuntu705> what are the best light ubuntus, ubuntu and kubuntu suck for me becasue they are too confusing
[19:29] <Dani_TM> hi
[19:29] <Marzata> xubuntu705: what are your spec?
[19:29] <Dani_TM> what's new in xubuntu 12.04 lts?
[19:32] <xubuntu705> Marzata: I put it on 2 system this one is sandy bridge 2500K.   I like speed.  ubuntu confuses the heck out of me.  I never tried kubuntu on this but found out linus
[19:32] <xubuntu705> uses xfce.
[19:33] <xubuntu705> does xfce have widgets or gadgets where use can see weather?
[19:33] <Marzata> xubuntu705: xubuntu works very well on all machines I have installed.
[19:34] <xubuntu705> My main beef is I don't want any problems, i don't want to do an update and have the thing freeze onme
[19:34] <Marzata> xubuntu705: it has a weather gadget, yes
[19:36] <xubuntu705> is it included on the live version, the weather gadget, I don't see it?
[19:41] <xubuntu705> nm i see the panel
[19:43] <Marzata> xubuntu705: install xfce4-googies
[19:43] <Marzata> xfce4-goodies, I meant
[19:44] <xubuntu705> i will when hd install is complete.
[19:46] <xubuntu705> do goodies put gadgets on your desktop?
[19:51] <xubuntu705> nm i can just link to webpage and get better info
[19:54] <xubuntu705> less is more
[20:01] <Marzata> also screenlets for the desktop?
[21:30] <leo-unglaub1> hi, is there a way to have tabs in thunar?
[21:30] <TheSheep> no
[21:31] <leo-unglaub1> okay :) i guess i am not the first one asking this *g*
[21:32] <TheSheep> http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=5904
[21:32] <TheSheep> indeed
[21:33] <mongy> I don't see why they are against the 'option' of it.
[21:34] <leo-unglaub1> TheSheep: i see, thanks!
[21:34] <mongy> does pcmanfm do tabs? I think I remember it does
[21:36] <leo-unglaub1> mongy: in the forum it sounds there is a long discussion about it, so i don't want to troll around there. i accept the developers desicion and simply clone the git repos and patch it in my self
[21:36] <leo-unglaub1> thanks for the quick answers
[21:37] <TheSheep> leo-unglaub1: or you could use a different file manager, like pc-man
[21:38] <leo-unglaub1> TheSheep: i am starting to really like the thunar renaming tools, it's faster than pyRename
[21:39] <knome> leo-unglaub1, basically tabs would clutter the interface :)
[21:39] <mongy> only if you switched it on
[21:40] <knome> if it needed on/off switch, that would clutter the configuration options mroe
[21:40] <mongy> that's what I'm saying, why not just give the option.  not that I use them/care
[21:40] <knome> *more
[21:40] <leo-unglaub1> i am with mongy with this. if i don't open a new tab, i don't have the interface problem
[21:40] <mongy> mm  ok
[21:41] <leo-unglaub1> and with tabs i thing putting them below the top seperator would work
[21:41] <mongy> I guess if it's that big a deal for someone they can use another fm
[21:41] <knome> well, i do disagree/stand with the xfce devs
[21:41] <TheSheep> more importantly, tabs would change how you use thunar
[21:41] <TheSheep> and thunar was designed to be used in specific way
[21:41] <TheSheep> which is quite efficinet, by the way, once you get used to it
[21:41] <knome> :)
[21:42] <TheSheep> and as leo-unglaub1 noted, this is not a topic for this channel
[21:42] <Sysi> yeah, great to have own way, if you want different you can use one of many other FMs
[21:42] <knome> yup. welcome to #xubuntu-offtopic  :)
[21:42] <leo-unglaub1> please don't get me wrong...i am new to xfce, i am just trying a little bit :)
[21:43] <leo-unglaub1> i respect dev desicions :)
[22:13] <ThePendulum> How can I utilize my dual screen setup in Xubuntu?
[22:13] <ThePendulum> I tried grandr, but it returns "User set screen size larger than max screen size".
[23:36] <ThePendulum> Does anyone know why I, all the sudden, have both my monitors displayed twice in the Settings Editor?
[23:37] <ThePendulum> Both as DFP3/DFP4 and DVI-0/DVI-1
