| Vermicelli | I just installed hamachi and some prereqs, and noticed that I've lost my wallpaper and my icons are rearranged and different. Logging out and back in shows me my old desktop look fora second, but then the background goes blue, my icons change, and thunar shows me my home folder. Any ideas? | 06:54 |
| chelz | check your installer logs, undo the changes, see if the desktop comes back | 06:55 |
| chelz | if it does you can then install the prereqs one by one to see which breaks your desktop | 06:56 |
| Vermicelli | It doesn't seem totally broken, though. It shows me how it utually looks for justa second, after I log back in. | 06:56 |
| Vermicelli | Google's not showing me right away- could you direct me toward the installer log? | 06:58 |
| chelz | there are a few i think. there's the dpkg and apt logs. not sure which would have it. | 06:59 |
| chelz | pretty sure its in a log somewhere | 06:59 |
| Unit193 | /var/log/ | 06:59 |
| Vermicelli | Nothing here I can use. | 07:02 |
| Vermicelli | So I removed everything I installed, through memory and autoremove. Desktop's fine now, but /home still opens as I log in, and now I have no window borders/frames. X-| | 07:07 |
| chelz | odd. well something you installed messed with stuff i guess, so one of those is to blame | 07:08 |
| Unit193 | You can remove .cache/sessions (iirc) and you *can* nuke your settings, or backup and del. | 07:08 |
| Vermicelli | xfwm4 --replace did it. | 07:10 |
| Vermicelli | At least the borders part. | 07:10 |
| Vermicelli | What can I do to not have /home open at login? | 07:13 |
| beata1 | I have sort of an opposite problem to puzzle out: I have maximus running, but my maximised windows come up with decorations at login. Unmaximising and maximising thereafter works as expected. | 07:13 |
| jadoe | beata1: I had that problem for years. I switched to devil's pie. | 07:23 |
| beata1 | That may also be able to solve the issue with firefox not being restored to the proper workspaces. I shall look at it further. | 07:26 |

| Lachezar | Hello. Can I get gnome-keyring-manager to work in XUbuntu? I can see it running, but nether gpg-agent is available, and there is another ssh-agent impeding. | 12:28 |
| Lachezar | Which Gnome service should I start in order to get Multimedia Keys to work? | 12:29 |
| Lachezar | How do I configure keyboard with the same goodies as in Ubuntu? | 12:29 |
| === moylan1 is now known as moylan | ||
| Marzata | hey, after fresh install and upgrade, the default applications are missing. any idea for a fix? | 13:30 |
| Marzata | Lachezar: keyboard? | 13:35 |
| Marzata | Lachezar: installed xfce4-goodies? | 13:35 |
| Lachezar | Marzata: I want to use the Menu key to access special symbols (like Degree symbol with Menu+G). | 13:51 |
| Lachezar | Marzata: I have not installed all <goodies>, but installed the keyboard applet. Its configuration is ridiculously limited. | 13:52 |
| Marzata | menu+G? | 13:54 |
| Marzata | I just type it | 13:54 |
| Marzata | ° | 13:54 |
| Marzata | altgr+shift+0 | 13:55 |
| Marzata | ° | 13:55 |
| Marzata | or the Icelandic ÞÐÆ... | 13:55 |
| Lachezar | Marzata: For me AltGr+G opens the Go menu inthe terminal, and AltGr+Shift+G does nothing. | 14:05 |
| Lachezar | Marzata: I regularly use the Right-Alt as normal Alt. That's why I want the Menu button for that. | 14:05 |
| Marzata | Ŋ - this is altgr+shift+G | 14:07 |
| TheSheep | Marzata: Ū | 14:10 |
| TheSheep | Marzata: every keyboard layout has different characters under alt+gr | 14:10 |
| TheSheep | alt_gr | 14:10 |
| TheSheep | Lachezar: you might want to set yourself a compose key | 14:10 |
| Marzata | what do you need the menu key for? | 14:14 |
| Lachezar | TheSheep: Compose is too-much work. When I was with Ubuntu the keyboard settings allowed me to select Menu for the Level3 switch (or something like that) and add additional graphics characters... | 14:26 |
| TheSheep | Lachezar: you can do that, with console-setup, iirc | 14:27 |
| TheSheep | Lachezar: dpkg-reconfigure console-setup --all | 14:27 |
| Lachezar | TheSheep: I am using a Terminal in XUbuntu, not the consoles. | 14:27 |
| TheSheep | Lachezar: the keyboard config is shared | 14:28 |
| Lachezar | TheSheep: DOH! | 14:28 |
| Lachezar | TheSheep: I actively reject the idea, that all users on the machine will have the same preferences! | 14:28 |
| * Lachezar wonders how will he make it up to his colleagues for making them switch to Linux... | 14:29 | |
| TheSheep | then I guess it's playing with keyboard maps | 14:30 |
| TheSheep | well, excuse me that nobody did the work of including your specific configuration in some gui tool | 14:31 |
| mongy | what wrong with just using xmodmap for just your user to make a compose key. | 15:06 |
| TheSheep | mongy: you would need to touch the keyboARD | 15:11 |
| TheSheep | sorry for caps | 15:11 |
| mongy | :) | 15:14 |
| Marzata | the default applications are missing. any idea for a fix? | 15:17 |
| knome | ? | 15:18 |
| Marzata | install, add extras, do upgrade and ... this is the result | 15:18 |
| Marzata | ah, I did also install xfce4-goodies | 15:20 |
| TheSheep | Marzata: can you install xubuntu-desktop without uninstalling anything? | 15:20 |
| Marzata | Thermi: on the top of xubuntu? | 15:21 |
| Thermi | hm? | 15:21 |
| Marzata | Thermi: sorry, had to be for TheSheep | 15:22 |
| TheSheep | Marzata: why do you mean 'on top'? | 15:22 |
| Thermi | k. | 15:22 |
| Argafal | hi folks. I configured a xubuntu 11.10 installation in a way that the default user does not need a password but is readily logged-in after boot-up. I'd like to change this now and get a login manager instead - can someone tell me how to do this please? | 15:23 |
| Marzata | TheSheep: let me see | 15:23 |
| TheSheep | Argafal: how did you configure it? | 15:26 |
| Marzata | and why thunar starts slow? | 15:33 |
| Argafal | TheSheep: I was asked during installation | 15:33 |
| hobgoblin | Argafal: I'd look to see if it's set in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 15:35 |
| hobgoblin | that at least is where I put it manually | 15:36 |
| Argafal | hobgoblin: bingo, that's where it is. | 15:36 |
| hobgoblin | cool - comment it out or remove it and that should do it :) | 15:36 |
| Argafal | hobgoblin: thanks for pointing it out, did exactly what i wanted it to do. | 15:43 |
| hobgoblin | welcome - glad I could help :) | 15:43 |
| Lachezar | RE. I've finally found out what I need to do to get Menu+? combinations to work: | 15:47 |
| Lachezar | setxkbmap -option lv3:menu_switch,misc:typo | 15:47 |
| Lachezar | Now the question is how to make use of it, because now when I switch my layout it reverts these settings. | 15:47 |
| Lachezar | ... actually it is zeroed out when I open the Keyboard Applet preferences, not when switching layouts. | 15:49 |

| joana | Hi all. Got a nasty problem. Downloaded JWM to try it out. But I just get a black screen. Only the cursor shows. I can't log out and a reboot won't help cause autologin is enabled. Ideas anyone? I'm a little desperate... | 20:30 |
| TheSheep | joana: JWM? | 20:31 |
| joana | joes window manager | 20:31 |
| joana | http://askubuntu.com/questions/109494/jwm-session-shows-black-screen-in-xubuntu | 20:31 |
| TheSheep | how did you install it? | 20:31 |
| Sysi | altGr printScrn K could give you login screen | 20:31 |
| joana | synaptic --> jwm | 20:32 |
| joana | @sysi no login screen :-( | 20:34 |
| joana | any ideas? | 20:37 |
| Sysi | press Ctrl Alt F6, do you get text login? | 20:41 |
| joana | Ctrl-Alt-F3 gives me text login but I don't know how to choose xubuntu session | 20:43 |
| joana | do you know the command? | 20:43 |
| joana | sudo service gdm restart | 20:43 |
| joana | I mean lightdm | 20:43 |
| joana | but how to log into a xubuntu session? | 20:43 |
| holstein | i would disable auto login | 20:45 |
| holstein | espeially if you want to be experimenting with different DE's at login | 20:45 |
| joana | yeah I know | 20:47 |
| joana | fucked up... | 20:47 |
| holstein | joana: try and keep it clean in here.. its logged an official support channel and all that | 20:48 |

| hydester | i started to use compiz on xubuntu. it seems okay, but i can't change my Window Manager settings via the settings menu. there are no longer options in the panel. | 20:56 |
| TheSheep | joana: .dmrc | 20:56 |
| hydester | i want to change it to have window focus follow mouse, where it did before running compiz | 20:57 |
| TheSheep | !compiz | hydester | 20:57 |
| ubottu | hydester: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 20:57 |
| hydester | TheSheep: it just looked like it isn't playing nice with xfwm settings. wasn't sure which part to pursue | 20:58 |
| TheSheep | hydester: if you use compiz, you are not using xfwm anymore | 20:59 |
| TheSheep | hydester: so those settings are irrelevant | 20:59 |
| hydester | ok, i'll just go back to xfwm. just discovered Awn and was thinking compiz was needed for it. it looks like it still works and icons jump when using xfwm | 21:01 |
| hydester | it just seemed that this panel was nicer than xubuntu stock | 21:02 |
| hydester | i wonder if this is what inspired the unity panel | 21:02 |
| TheSheep | unity was mostly "inspired" by macosx | 21:03 |
| TheSheep | awn too | 21:04 |
| joana | fixed it, did a boot from cd and deleted jwm session | 21:06 |
| beata | Mrgh. MacOS system 7, now there was a system =) | 21:41 |
| TheLastBaron | I have ubuntu right now | 22:10 |
| TheLastBaron | and in a couple of minutes I will go over to Xubuntu permanently :) | 22:10 |
