OtygThePendulum: sweden00:10
ThePendulumClose enough00:10
ThePendulumI wish I was in Sweden right now, damned00:10
Otygso 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
ThePendulumThe 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
ThePendulumDepends 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
OtygSouthern sweden, so we've got the coast-cold here atm...00:13
ThePendulumTrue00:14
ThePendulumMy dream/future plan is to start a company with a friend of mine and settle in northern/middle Norway00:14
Otygsounds like a good plan :)00:15
OtygAnyhow, time for me to sleep before I break something important... Like the coffee-machine ;)00:16
ThePendulumCertainly. Goodnight!00:16
Otygsame to you !00:18

ThePendulumDoes anyone have an idea what exact file to edit to change the Application menu background color?00:43

maoranmaHello. I'm at my wit's end with an issue, and looking at old forum posts online that seem to be a few years outdated hasn't help.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
GridCubemaoranma, yeah... that happens...02:59
GridCube:(02:59
GridCubeyou can try to use keytouch-editor to edit the function related to that particular key03:00
GridCube!keytouch | maoranma03:00
ubottumaoranma: 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/shortcuts03:00

bmk1189Question: I have problems in xubunbu 11.10 to change the power manager settings. For example: I change time berfore reducing screen brighness, close window and reopen manager, settings aren't configured as I left them.03:49
bmk1189does anybody know what can I do?03:53
holsteinbmk1189: have you logged out? what about after a reboot... what are you trying to change?04:00
bmk1189yeah, 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
bmk1189then I realize that my configurations where not taking any effect.04:08
bmk1189And also, I was trying to change the speedstep (scaling) of CPU vía xfce4-cpufreq-plugin, but doesn't change anything...04:09

MordFustangin xchat is working fine15:38
mongyMordFustang: that's the theme then.15:41
mongyother themes like greybird, which have a gtk3 template as well which might explain why, work ok15:43
mongyI use zukitwo-brave, looks fine to me. Clearlooks (which is crap imo) is the culprit it seems.15:45
MordFustangwhere can i get this theme?15:46
mongygnome-look.or15:48

MordFustangi need to look gtk3 themes right?15:48
mongyI'm no theme expert but looking at the clearlooks folder it doesn't have a gtk3 folder, only gtk2 whereas the others have both15:49
MordFustangwhere can i find ~/.themes ? :D15:52

forestpiskiewellness: see the link above19:49
wellnessi'm rading19:49
wellnessreading..19:49
wickedwiccanthey 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 fine19:49
forestpiskietried locking them?19:50
wickedwiccani 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 down19:50
forestpiskieI had similar - bit I have 2 monitors - was looking in the wrong place ...19:51
forestpiskiebut I'm not sure what's causing them to go for you - sorry19:52
wickedwiccanyeah its alright worst comes to worst I can install ubuntu then xfce4 beats the purpose but it works fine that way19:52
* mongy likes his grub2 stick and isos folder.19:54
forestpiskiewickedwiccan: apparently it might be worth removing the configs19:54
forestpiskiewe did that :(19:55
wickedwiccanIts cool I'm thinking of going to Sabayon I liked how prety it is19:56
forestpiskielol19:56
forestpiskiehang in the channel - someone else might see and know19:57
forestpiskiebut I'd probably have tried removing the whole .config/xfce419:57
babbleare you trying the Xfce 4.10 preview?19:58
wickedwiccanno19:58
wickedwiccan11.10 xubuntu19:58
babblehave you tried a purge & reinstall of xfce4-panel?19:59
wickedwiccanwell 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 first20:00
forestpiskiethanks babble - not been using xfce long enough to have come across oddities20:00
babbleI had disappearing panels on my initial build of 4.10 (I was missing one panel dependency or other)20:00
wickedwiccanok that guide seemed to fix the problem20:09
wickedwiccanok 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 performance20:12
mongywickedwiccan: the compositor in xfce is a little poor (imo) so try turning it off.20:22
wickedwiccani enabled some vsync stuff let me see if that fixed it :P20:23
wickedwiccanwow i found a few articles with the same problem as me but no one has repsonded to any of them on how to fix it20:56
mongywickedwiccan: still got composting enabled?21:01
wickedwiccanYeah but i found somethign about installing the composit setting manager and disabling vblank and direct refresh i'm rebooting to see if it helps21:02
mongyugh21:03
tomasDoes Xubuntu 12.04 works with compiz? I have installed ccsm and nothing. Can't rotate cube.21:03
mongywish he would listen to me and try disabling it.21:03
mongytomas: compiz is fine.  use it myself,21:03
tomasdoesn't work, what should I do?21:04
wickedwiccanstill happenign and it still happens with xfce composite turned off21:04
tomasso no compiz?21:04
mongyare all the packages installed?  compiz, compiz-plugins-main ?21:04
wickedwiccanI guess xfce just doesn't like this computer21:04
tomasyes21:05
wickedwiccanwhy should i be doing any additional installations this is  a fresh install of xubuntu21:05
mongywickedwiccan: so you have bad video performance in xfce with compositing disabled?21:05
wickedwiccanwhy make a distro if your gonna make the user install essental stuff like that21:05
mongytomas: is it running?  compiz --replace ccp21:05
wickedwiccanmongy its the windows when i move them they tear21:05
wickedwiccanglxgears shows over 12000 fps so I know the nvidia driver is installed correctly21:06
tomaswill try bear with me, I hadn't to do in all versions before.21:06
tomasoops just a wall and no compozites (minimize, close)21:07
tomashow do I revert21:07
mongyyou need to use a window manager that works..  gtk or emerald (you'll need to compile emerald)21:08
tomasehhh thats not LTS. I want to revert, how to remove that --replace ccp21:09
mongyctrl c21:09
mongytomas: stick with 11.10 for now.21:10
mongywickedwiccan: there no nvidia control app to enable vsynv?21:13
mongyvsync*21:13
wickedwiccanyeah already did it21:14
wickedwiccani think its a bug with nvidia and xfce everyone just says go to a gnome based desktop21:14
mongywickedwiccan: dopen source nvidia same?21:15
wickedwiccanI didn't pay 2k for this laptop to be stuck with opensource drivers that suck for gaming :P21:16
mongyyou paid 2k for a laptop to use linux for *cough* gaming?21:17
GridCubegaming... linux?..21:18
mongyI 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
martinphoneany idea to get rid of broken links in my categorized "other" menu? fslint doesnt seem to do the thing21:45

GridCubein any case, purge it away22:22
ThePendulumGridCube: I installed and removed the avant window manager22:22
martinphoneholy sh*t, is there an easier way in 12.04?22:22
ThePendulumI had this issue before, but I solved it reinstalling Xubuntu completely22:22
GridCubemartinphone, nope22:22
GridCubemartinphone, there wont be either, you shouldnt use icons on your desktop, IMHO22:23
martinphonewhy? not a priority?22:23
ThePendulumGridCube: That's something I never understood. Why wouldn't you use icons on your desktop?22:23
GridCubemartinphone, i think you should ask on #xfce for that input22:23
ThePendulumThere's a screen full of emptyness and why wouldn't you utilize it22:23
GridCubeThePendulum, pretty wallpaper and some nice screenlets :D22:24

ThePendulumWell I prefer having a few, to prevent my programs from clogging up22:29
GridCubeit really pisses me off when for some reason i start to have more than one22:29
GridCubeim like... but i had that program open alreadu22:29
GridCubes/alreadu/already/22:30
ThePendulumEach workspace has its own function for me22:31
ThePendulumFirst one for general stuff, second one for (web)development, 3th one for graphics and 4th one for media/entertainment22:31
ThePendulumI'm just going to reinstall Xubuntu, this feels a bit too fucked up22:32
GridCubeD:22:33
GridCubeThePendulum, you could like create a new user22:33
GridCubeand move things around :P22:34
GridCubeits faster22:34
ThePendulumThen I have two users of which one is messed up22:34
ThePendulumnooooo22:34
GridCubeyou could delete one :P22:34
ThePendulumIt still won't remove the mess D:22:34
GridCubedid you removed nautilus already?22:35
ThePendulumHalf22:35
ThePendulumI am going to reinstall Xubuntu at this very now, brb :P22:35
ThePendulumGridCube: Fixed.23:30
GridCube:P with a reinstall?23:30
ThePendulumYeah, lol23:30
ThePendulumNow I only need to find a place for my workspace switcher23:31
ThePendulumAnd the file that sets the menu colour23:31
GridCubeuse key combinations23:32
ThePendulumI like it visual even though I know how to switch23:32
ThePendulumIt gets a tad harder to know which workspace you're on without the little indicator23:32
