Otyg | ThePendulum: sweden | 00:10 |
---|---|---|
ThePendulum | Close enough | 00:10 |
ThePendulum | I wish I was in Sweden right now, damned | 00:10 |
Otyg | so scandinavia, I can tell you it's quite unpleasant to be in sweden right now... Cold and so on :) Where are you from? | 00:11 |
ThePendulum | The Netherlands. Believe me, to us, the cold in Sweden and Norway is better than the cold here. It has to do with humidity, mostly. | 00:11 |
ThePendulum | Depends on your location within Sweden though. I can imagine you don't want to be in your t-shirt at night at the very north. | 00:12 |
Otyg | Southern sweden, so we've got the coast-cold here atm... | 00:13 |
ThePendulum | True | 00:14 |
ThePendulum | My dream/future plan is to start a company with a friend of mine and settle in northern/middle Norway | 00:14 |
Otyg | sounds like a good plan :) | 00:15 |
Otyg | Anyhow, time for me to sleep before I break something important... Like the coffee-machine ;) | 00:16 |
ThePendulum | Certainly. Goodnight! | 00:16 |
Otyg | same to you ! | 00:18 |

maoranma | Hello. I'm at my wit's end with an issue, and looking at old forum posts online that seem to be a few years outdated hasn't help. My issue is that, if I mute with my mute button on my laptop, everything mutes fine, but if I unmute, pulseaudio master doesn't unmute, and I have to manually unmute it. | 02:50 |
GridCube | maoranma, yeah... that happens... | 02:59 |
GridCube | :( | 02:59 |
GridCube | you can try to use keytouch-editor to edit the function related to that particular key | 03:00 |
GridCube | !keytouch | maoranma | 03:00 |
ubottu | maoranma: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/ - See !Keyboard for changing layouts. A list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity is available at http://ubottu.com/y/shortcuts | 03:00 |

holstein | bmk1189: have you logged out? what about after a reboot... what are you trying to change? | 04:00 |
bmk1189 | yeah, I have used xubuntu for months... and I was trying to make some changes in cofiguration in order to make my battery (I'm on laptop) last a little bit more... | 04:08 |
bmk1189 | then I realize that my configurations where not taking any effect. | 04:08 |

mongy | MordFustang: is the theme you use located in ~/.themes? | 15:37 |
MordFustang | mongy: i use cleanlooks | 15:37 |
MordFustang | in xchat is working fine | 15:38 |
mongy | MordFustang: that's the theme then. | 15:41 |
mongy | other themes like greybird, which have a gtk3 template as well which might explain why, work ok | 15:43 |
mongy | I use zukitwo-brave, looks fine to me. Clearlooks (which is crap imo) is the culprit it seems. | 15:45 |
MordFustang | where can i get this theme? | 15:46 |
mongy | gnome-look.or | 15:48 |
mongy | org | 15:48 |
MordFustang | i need to look gtk3 themes right? | 15:48 |
mongy | I'm no theme expert but looking at the clearlooks folder it doesn't have a gtk3 folder, only gtk2 whereas the others have both | 15:49 |
MordFustang | where can i find ~/.themes ? :D | 15:52 |

babble | is there a way to gracefully log out of xfce from a postinst script? I tried killing xfce4-session, but that leaves dpkg in an unconfigured state | 15:55 |

wickedwiccan | anyone know how to disable guest from showing up in the login screen? | 19:18 |
forestpiskie | yep | 19:19 |
forestpiskie | 2 secs | 19:20 |
forestpiskie | edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf add a line allow-guest=false and save it | 19:21 |
forestpiskie | well that was a waste of time lol | 19:21 |
wickedwiccan | what is wrong with Xubuntu 11.10. I can't create pannels cause once I make one and place it on the side of the screen I want all my pannels disappear | 19:34 |
wellness | ciao | 19:35 |
wellness | c'è nessuno? | 19:35 |
wellness | volevo installare xubuntu sul mio acerone | 19:35 |
wickedwiccan | ummm I dont know if anyone is going to understand you | 19:36 |
forestpiskie | english please :) | 19:36 |
wellness | ah ok | 19:36 |
wellness | hello everybody | 19:36 |
wellness | i need to install xubuntu on my acer one netbook | 19:36 |
wellness | which is the first step? | 19:37 |
wickedwiccan | download and burn the iso to a disk :P | 19:37 |
forestpiskie | use a torrent if you can | 19:38 |
forestpiskie | wickedwiccan: so what's up with the panels and did you deal with the guest user | 19:38 |
wickedwiccan | forestpiskie, i'll worry with guest later, these pannels are more serious cause I have none atm. Anytime I try to make one and I place it where I want it they all just disappear and I have to reboot to have the bottom pannel back. | 19:39 |
wellness | i need an exe file | 19:39 |
wellness | no disk only usb key.. | 19:40 |
forestpiskie | wickedwiccan: nothing odd abotu your screen I assume - I had issues getting panel to stay on correct screen | 19:40 |
wellness | xubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso | 19:41 |
wellness | or this version xubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso | 19:41 |
forestpiskie | 32 or 64 bit | 19:41 |
wickedwiccan | how do i disable all but one desktop when I dont have the top pannel bar | 19:41 |
wellness | i think 32 | 19:41 |
forestpiskie | the amd one is NOT just for amd cpu's | 19:41 |
wellness | my netbook is anol acer one | 19:42 |
wellness | my netbook is an old acer one | 19:42 |
wellness | then ?? | 19:44 |
forestpiskie | wickedwiccan: try completely resetting them - http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=3477 | 19:45 |
forestpiskie | wickedwiccan: as far as the guest thing goes I answered you just as you left edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf add a line allow-guest=false and save it | 19:45 |
forestpiskie | wellness: I'd not know without googling | 19:46 |
wellness | actually my netbook run ubuntu | 19:46 |
wickedwiccan | no same thing with pannels I guess I'll find a different xfce distro this is the only one i have tried that has caused this issue | 19:46 |
wellness | i want change to xubuntu...how can i create a usb key for install xubuntu ?? | 19:47 |
forestpiskie | wellness: unetbootin | 19:47 |
wellness | ?? | 19:47 |
forestpiskie | !unetbootin | 19:47 |

wellness | sorry but i dont know very well this os | 19:47 |
forestpiskie | wickedwiccan: not sure then - they disappear as soon as you try to move them? | 19:49 |
forestpiskie | wellness: see the link above | 19:49 |
wellness | i'm rading | 19:49 |
wellness | reading.. | 19:49 |
wickedwiccan | they stay as long as I dont place them at the very top or bottom or the far left or right. If they are anywhere in the middle they are fine | 19:49 |
forestpiskie | tried locking them? | 19:50 |
wickedwiccan | i take that back :P i can create a pannel but moment i pick it up to move it anywhere it disappears once it has been placed down | 19:50 |
forestpiskie | I had similar - bit I have 2 monitors - was looking in the wrong place ... | 19:51 |
forestpiskie | but I'm not sure what's causing them to go for you - sorry | 19:52 |
wickedwiccan | yeah its alright worst comes to worst I can install ubuntu then xfce4 beats the purpose but it works fine that way | 19:52 |
* mongy likes his grub2 stick and isos folder. | 19:54 | |
forestpiskie | wickedwiccan: apparently it might be worth removing the configs | 19:54 |
forestpiskie | we did that :( | 19:55 |
wickedwiccan | Its cool I'm thinking of going to Sabayon I liked how prety it is | 19:56 |
forestpiskie | lol | 19:56 |
forestpiskie | hang in the channel - someone else might see and know | 19:57 |
forestpiskie | but I'd probably have tried removing the whole .config/xfce4 | 19:57 |
babble | are you trying the Xfce 4.10 preview? | 19:58 |
wickedwiccan | no | 19:58 |
wickedwiccan | 11.10 xubuntu | 19:58 |
babble | have you tried a purge & reinstall of xfce4-panel? | 19:59 |
wickedwiccan | well i'll attempt to reinstall xubuntu but this shouldn't be happening on a fresh install its a serious bug. I'm gonna try something I found online and see if that works first | 20:00 |
forestpiskie | thanks babble - not been using xfce long enough to have come across oddities | 20:00 |
babble | I had disappearing panels on my initial build of 4.10 (I was missing one panel dependency or other) | 20:00 |
wickedwiccan | ok that guide seemed to fix the problem | 20:09 |
wickedwiccan | ok next problem :P I have nvidia drivers installed and when I move my my windows around they act sluggish this is a gtx 460m 1.5gb video card I'm sure in xfce I shoudln't have a single problem with video performance | 20:12 |
mongy | wickedwiccan: the compositor in xfce is a little poor (imo) so try turning it off. | 20:22 |
wickedwiccan | i enabled some vsync stuff let me see if that fixed it :P | 20:23 |
wickedwiccan | wow i found a few articles with the same problem as me but no one has repsonded to any of them on how to fix it | 20:56 |
mongy | wickedwiccan: still got composting enabled? | 21:01 |
wickedwiccan | Yeah but i found somethign about installing the composit setting manager and disabling vblank and direct refresh i'm rebooting to see if it helps | 21:02 |
mongy | ugh | 21:03 |
tomas | Does Xubuntu 12.04 works with compiz? I have installed ccsm and nothing. Can't rotate cube. | 21:03 |
mongy | wish he would listen to me and try disabling it. | 21:03 |
mongy | tomas: compiz is fine. use it myself, | 21:03 |
tomas | doesn't work, what should I do? | 21:04 |
wickedwiccan | still happenign and it still happens with xfce composite turned off | 21:04 |
tomas | so no compiz? | 21:04 |
mongy | are all the packages installed? compiz, compiz-plugins-main ? | 21:04 |
wickedwiccan | I guess xfce just doesn't like this computer | 21:04 |
tomas | yes | 21:05 |
wickedwiccan | why should i be doing any additional installations this is a fresh install of xubuntu | 21:05 |
mongy | wickedwiccan: so you have bad video performance in xfce with compositing disabled? | 21:05 |
wickedwiccan | why make a distro if your gonna make the user install essental stuff like that | 21:05 |
mongy | tomas: is it running? compiz --replace ccp | 21:05 |
wickedwiccan | mongy its the windows when i move them they tear | 21:05 |
wickedwiccan | glxgears shows over 12000 fps so I know the nvidia driver is installed correctly | 21:06 |
tomas | will try bear with me, I hadn't to do in all versions before. | 21:06 |
tomas | oops just a wall and no compozites (minimize, close) | 21:07 |
tomas | how do I revert | 21:07 |
mongy | you need to use a window manager that works.. gtk or emerald (you'll need to compile emerald) | 21:08 |
tomas | ehhh thats not LTS. I want to revert, how to remove that --replace ccp | 21:09 |
mongy | ctrl c | 21:09 |
mongy | tomas: stick with 11.10 for now. | 21:10 |
mongy | wickedwiccan: there no nvidia control app to enable vsynv? | 21:13 |
mongy | vsync* | 21:13 |
wickedwiccan | yeah already did it | 21:14 |
wickedwiccan | i think its a bug with nvidia and xfce everyone just says go to a gnome based desktop | 21:14 |
mongy | wickedwiccan: dopen source nvidia same? | 21:15 |
wickedwiccan | I didn't pay 2k for this laptop to be stuck with opensource drivers that suck for gaming :P | 21:16 |
mongy | you paid 2k for a laptop to use linux for *cough* gaming? | 21:17 |
GridCube | gaming... linux?.. | 21:18 |
mongy | I know what you mean. I use ati, and the open driver is quick as far as effects go and video and tear free, but I prefer the proprietary driver since it shuts the fan noise up, and with some tweaking and compiz, tear free. | 21:18 |
martinphone | any idea to get rid of broken links in my categorized "other" menu? fslint doesnt seem to do the thing | 21:45 |
GridCube | martinphone, try editing them out wiht alacarte | 21:46 |
martinphone | GridCube, alacarte = right click? | 21:47 |
GridCube | nope, alacarte its a menu edition software that works with the xfce4-panel | 21:47 |
martinphone | and not exactl what i need: I need a command or an app to automatically find all broken links/direct accesses and get rid of them | 21:47 |
GridCube | oh | 21:47 |
martinphone | i didnt know I had to download 160MB of things to get alacarte | 21:49 |
GridCube | oh no | 21:49 |
GridCube | use --no-install-recommends | 21:49 |
GridCube | sorry, i though those depends where fixed already | 21:50 |
GridCube | ;_; sorry | 21:50 |
martinphone | so sudo apt-get install alacarte --no-install-recommends ? | 21:50 |
GridCube | yes | 21:50 |
martinphone | Command line option --no-install-recommend is not understood | 21:51 |
martinphone | crap | 21:52 |
martinphone | s | 21:52 |
GridCube | you forgot an s | 21:52 |
GridCube | :) | 21:52 |
mongy | its default in 12.04 :) | 21:53 |
martinphone | not there yet | 21:53 |
GridCube | yes, and it has fixed recommends too | 21:53 |
GridCube | in 12.04 | 21:53 |
martinphone | where in the categorized menu is alacarte? | 21:56 |
babble | martinphone: recommends (if you did --no-install-recommend, you need the s at the end) | 21:56 |
babble | I'm running alacarte with --no-install-recommends; it does work. | 21:56 |
martinphone | yes babble already fixed | 21:56 |
martinphone | do I have to access it with alt+f2? | 21:57 |
GridCube | martinphone, wont hurt | 21:57 |
babble | no, in Xubuntu, it makes a launcher in Settings > Main Menu | 21:57 |
babble | Apps > Settings (menu, not Setting Manager) > Main Menu | 21:57 |
GridCube | yes, >settings >main menu | 21:57 |
martinphone | a... | 21:57 |
martinphone | different name | 21:58 |
babble | that's a gnome thing. | 21:58 |
GridCube | yep, smart move from alacarte's people | 21:58 |
babble | all manner of gnome things use 'plain language' for the launchers. | 21:58 |
babble | it's six of one, half a dozen of the other, really. | 21:58 |
ThePendulum | For some reason, Xubuntu runs in some kind of classic mode now | 22:17 |
GridCube | mmh? | 22:17 |
martinphone | can I sort all icons in my desktop? Its not in right click | 22:17 |
martinphone | ctrl+something? | 22:18 |
ThePendulum | GridCube: For example, I get http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25683105/Pictures/Screenshots/2012040900%3A18%3A31%28Appearance%29.png rather than the latest desktop settings | 22:19 |

ThePendulum | (I just figured) | 22:19 |
ThePendulum | eh... *xfwm | 22:19 |
ThePendulum | Hmpf, I don't know what's going on, but something is not right | 22:20 |
GridCube | why do you have nautilus? | 22:21 |
GridCube | O_o | 22:21 |
ThePendulum | I don't know, I get the idea I'm in gnome rather than xfce | 22:21 |
ThePendulum | I all the sudden have a menu editor as well | 22:21 |
GridCube | martinphone, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-auto-arrange-desktop-icons-826043/ | 22:21 |
GridCube | ThePendulum, did you happen to install alacarte without --no-install-recommends? | 22:22 |
GridCube | in any case, purge it away | 22:22 |
ThePendulum | GridCube: I installed and removed the avant window manager | 22:22 |
martinphone | holy sh*t, is there an easier way in 12.04? | 22:22 |
ThePendulum | I had this issue before, but I solved it reinstalling Xubuntu completely | 22:22 |
GridCube | martinphone, nope | 22:22 |
GridCube | martinphone, there wont be either, you shouldnt use icons on your desktop, IMHO | 22:23 |
martinphone | why? not a priority? | 22:23 |
ThePendulum | GridCube: That's something I never understood. Why wouldn't you use icons on your desktop? | 22:23 |
GridCube | martinphone, i think you should ask on #xfce for that input | 22:23 |
ThePendulum | There's a screen full of emptyness and why wouldn't you utilize it | 22:23 |
GridCube | ThePendulum, pretty wallpaper and some nice screenlets :D | 22:24 |
ThePendulum | I guess I'm reinstalling Xubuntu once again lol | 22:25 |
GridCube | ThePendulum, no need for that | 22:25 |
GridCube | :P at least for the next few weeks | 22:25 |
GridCube | unistall nautilus | 22:25 |
GridCube | ThePendulum, http://imagebin.org/207239 | 22:25 |
ThePendulum | It feels so wrong when I fucked something up and then try to rebuild the old stuff bit by bit :P | 22:25 |

GridCube | you can delete your config folders and relog in, they should get rebooted | 22:26 |
ThePendulum | That's how it once was before I screwed it :O | 22:26 |
ThePendulum | The desktop switcher feels a bit wrong sitting in the middle there, but I have no idea how to position it better | 22:27 |
GridCube | i don't know what that is | 22:28 |
ThePendulum | What what is? | 22:28 |
GridCube | the desktop switcher | 22:28 |
ThePendulum | Workspace switcher, whatever you prefer :P | 22:28 |
GridCube | oh | 22:28 |
GridCube | i never use that | 22:28 |
ThePendulum | Multiple workspaces or the switcher? | 22:29 |
GridCube | i use just one desktop | 22:29 |
ThePendulum | Ah | 22:29 |
ThePendulum | Well I prefer having a few, to prevent my programs from clogging up | 22:29 |
GridCube | it really pisses me off when for some reason i start to have more than one | 22:29 |
GridCube | im like... but i had that program open alreadu | 22:29 |
GridCube | s/alreadu/already/ | 22:30 |
ThePendulum | Each workspace has its own function for me | 22:31 |
ThePendulum | First one for general stuff, second one for (web)development, 3th one for graphics and 4th one for media/entertainment | 22:31 |
ThePendulum | I'm just going to reinstall Xubuntu, this feels a bit too fucked up | 22:32 |
GridCube | D: | 22:33 |
GridCube | ThePendulum, you could like create a new user | 22:33 |
GridCube | and move things around :P | 22:34 |
GridCube | its faster | 22:34 |
ThePendulum | Then I have two users of which one is messed up | 22:34 |
ThePendulum | nooooo | 22:34 |
GridCube | you could delete one :P | 22:34 |
ThePendulum | It still won't remove the mess D: | 22:34 |
GridCube | did you removed nautilus already? | 22:35 |
ThePendulum | Half | 22:35 |
ThePendulum | I am going to reinstall Xubuntu at this very now, brb :P | 22:35 |
ThePendulum | GridCube: Fixed. | 23:30 |
GridCube | :P with a reinstall? | 23:30 |
ThePendulum | Yeah, lol | 23:30 |
ThePendulum | Now I only need to find a place for my workspace switcher | 23:31 |
ThePendulum | And the file that sets the menu colour | 23:31 |
GridCube | use key combinations | 23:32 |
ThePendulum | I like it visual even though I know how to switch | 23:32 |
ThePendulum | It gets a tad harder to know which workspace you're on without the little indicator | 23:32 |
GridCube | mmhm | 23:34 |
babble | I use Window Menu instead. | 23:42 |
