Cold and so on :) Where are you from? [00:11] 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. [00:12] 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. [00:13] Southern sweden, so we've got the coast-cold here atm... [00:14] True [00:14] My dream/future plan is to start a company with a friend of mine and settle in northern/middle Norway [00:15] sounds like a good plan :) [00:16] Anyhow, time for me to sleep before I break something important... Like the coffee-machine ;) [00:16] Certainly. Goodnight! [00:18] same to you !

I'm at my wit's end with an issue, and looking at old forum posts online that seem to be a few years outdated hasn't help.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. [02:59] maoranma, yeah... that happens... [02:59] :( [03:00] you can try to use keytouch-editor to edit the function related to that particular key [03:00] !keytouch | maoranma [03:00] maoranma: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

For example: I change time berfore reducing screen brighness, close window and reopen manager, settings aren't configured as I left them. [03:53] does anybody know what can I do? [04:00] bmk1189: have you logged out? what about after a reboot... what are you trying to change? [04:08] 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] then I realize that my configurations where not taking any effect. [04:09] And also, I was trying to change the speedstep (scaling) of CPU vía xfce4-cpufreq-plugin, but doesn't change anything... === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:03] Hi, I'm new to xubuntu, any tips to tuning for desktop?

[15:37] mongy: i use cleanlooks [15:38] in xchat is working fine [15:41] MordFustang: that's the theme then. [15:43] other themes like greybird, which have a gtk3 template as well which might explain why, work ok [15:45] I use zukitwo-brave, looks fine to me. Clearlooks (which is crap imo) is the culprit it seems. [15:46] where can i get this theme? [15:48] gnome-look.or [15:48] org [15:48] i need to look gtk3 themes right? [15:49] 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 [15:52] where can i find ~/.themes ? :D [15:53] you'll have to make it.

[19:19] yep [19:20] 2 secs [19:21] edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf add a line allow-guest=false and save it [19:21] well that was a waste of time lol [19:34] 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 [19:35] ciao [19:35] c'è nessuno? [19:35] volevo installare xubuntu sul mio acerone [19:36] ummm I dont know if anyone is going to understand you [19:36] english please :) [19:36] ah ok [19:36] hello everybody [19:36] i need to install xubuntu on my acer one netbook [19:37] which is the first step? [19:37] download and burn the iso to a disk :P [19:38] use a torrent if you can [19:38] wickedwiccan: so what's up with the panels and did you deal with the guest user [19:39] 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] i need an exe file [19:40] no disk only usb key.. [19:40] wickedwiccan: nothing odd abotu your screen I assume - I had issues getting panel to stay on correct screen [19:41] xubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso [19:41] or this version xubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso [19:41] 32 or 64 bit [19:41] how do i disable all but one desktop when I dont have the top pannel bar [19:41] i think 32 [19:41] the amd one is NOT just for amd cpu's [19:42] my netbook is anol acer one [19:42] my netbook is an old acer one [19:44] then ?? [19:45] wickedwiccan: try completely resetting them - http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=3477 [19:45] 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 [19:46] wellness: I'd not know without googling [19:46] actually my netbook run ubuntu [19:46] 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 [19:47] i want change to xubuntu...how can i create a usb key for install xubuntu ?? [19:47] wellness: unetbootin [19:47] ?? [19:47] !unetbootin [19:47] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [19:47] sorry but i dont know very well this os [19:49] wickedwiccan: not sure then - they disappear as soon as you try to move them? [19:49] wellness: see the link above [19:49] i'm rading [19:49] reading.. [19:49] 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 [19:50] tried locking them? [19:50] 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 [19:51] I had similar - bit I have 2 monitors - was looking in the wrong place ... [19:52] but I'm not sure what's causing them to go for you - sorry [19:52] yeah its alright worst comes to worst I can install ubuntu then xfce4 beats the purpose but it works fine that way [19:54] * mongy likes his grub2 stick and isos folder. [19:54] wickedwiccan: apparently it might be worth removing the configs [19:55] we did that :( [19:56] Its cool I'm thinking of going to Sabayon I liked how prety it is [19:56] lol [19:57] hang in the channel - someone else might see and know [19:57] but I'd probably have tried removing the whole .config/xfce4 [19:58] are you trying the Xfce 4.10 preview? [19:58] no [19:58] 11.10 xubuntu [19:59] have you tried a purge & reinstall of xfce4-panel? [20:00] 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] thanks babble - not been using xfce long enough to have come across oddities [20:00] I had disappearing panels on my initial build of 4.10 (I was missing one panel dependency or other) [20:09] ok that guide seemed to fix the problem [20:12] 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 [20:22] wickedwiccan: the compositor in xfce is a little poor (imo) so try turning it off. [20:23] i enabled some vsync stuff let me see if that fixed it :P [20:56] 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 [21:01] wickedwiccan: still got composting enabled? [21:02] 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 [21:03] ugh [21:03] Does Xubuntu 12.04 works with compiz? I have installed ccsm and nothing. Can't rotate cube. [21:03] wish he would listen to me and try disabling it. [21:03] tomas: compiz is fine. use it myself, [21:04] doesn't work, what should I do? [21:04] still happenign and it still happens with xfce composite turned off [21:04] so no compiz? [21:04] are all the packages installed? compiz, compiz-plugins-main ? [21:04] I guess xfce just doesn't like this computer [21:05] yes [21:05] why should i be doing any additional installations this is a fresh install of xubuntu [21:05] wickedwiccan: so you have bad video performance in xfce with compositing disabled? [21:05] why make a distro if your gonna make the user install essental stuff like that [21:05] tomas: is it running? compiz --replace ccp [21:05] mongy its the windows when i move them they tear [21:06] glxgears shows over 12000 fps so I know the nvidia driver is installed correctly [21:06] will try bear with me, I hadn't to do in all versions before. [21:07] oops just a wall and no compozites (minimize, close) [21:07] how do I revert [21:08] you need to use a window manager that works.. gtk or emerald (you'll need to compile emerald) [21:09] ehhh thats not LTS. I want to revert, how to remove that --replace ccp [21:09] ctrl c [21:10] tomas: stick with 11.10 for now. [21:13] wickedwiccan: there no nvidia control app to enable vsynv? [21:13] vsync* [21:14] yeah already did it [21:14] i think its a bug with nvidia and xfce everyone just says go to a gnome based desktop [21:15] wickedwiccan: dopen source nvidia same? [21:16] I didn't pay 2k for this laptop to be stuck with opensource drivers that suck for gaming :P [21:17] you paid 2k for a laptop to use linux for *cough* gaming? [21:18] gaming... linux?.. [21:18] 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. [21:45] any idea to get rid of broken links in my categorized "other" menu? fslint doesnt seem to do the thing [21:46] martinphone, try editing them out wiht alacarte [21:47] GridCube, alacarte = right click? [21:47] nope, alacarte its a menu edition software that works with the xfce4-panel [21:47] 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] oh [21:49] i didnt know I had to download 160MB of things to get alacarte [21:49] oh no [21:49] use --no-install-recommends [21:50] sorry, i though those depends where fixed already [21:50] ;_; sorry [21:50] so sudo apt-get install alacarte --no-install-recommends ? [21:50] yes [21:51] Command line option --no-install-recommend is not understood [21:52] crap [21:52] s [21:52] you forgot an s [21:52] :) [21:53] its default in 12.04 :) [21:53] not there yet [21:53] yes, and it has fixed recommends too [21:53] in 12.04 [21:56] where in the categorized menu is alacarte? [21:56] martinphone: recommends (if you did --no-install-recommend, you need the s at the end) [21:56] I'm running alacarte with --no-install-recommends; it does work. [21:56] yes babble already fixed [21:57] do I have to access it with alt+f2? [21:57] martinphone, wont hurt [21:57] no, in Xubuntu, it makes a launcher in Settings > Main Menu [21:57] Apps > Settings (menu, not Setting Manager) > Main Menu [21:57] yes, >settings >main menu [21:57] a... [21:58] different name [21:58] that's a gnome thing. [21:58] yep, smart move from alacarte's people [21:58] all manner of gnome things use 'plain language' for the launchers. [21:58] it's six of one, half a dozen of the other, really. [22:17] For some reason, Xubuntu runs in some kind of classic mode now [22:17] mmh? [22:17] can I sort all icons in my desktop? Its not in right click [22:18] ctrl+something? [22:19] 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] Nautilus rather than Thunar is running [22:19] (I just figured) [22:19] eh... *xfwm [22:20] Hmpf, I don't know what's going on, but something is not right [22:21] why do you have nautilus? [22:21] O_o [22:21] I don't know, I get the idea I'm in gnome rather than xfce [22:21] I all the sudden have a menu editor as well [22:21] martinphone, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-auto-arrange-desktop-icons-826043/ [22:22] ThePendulum, did you happen to install alacarte without --no-install-recommends? [22:22] in any case, purge it away [22:22] GridCube: I installed and removed the avant window manager [22:22] holy sh*t, is there an easier way in 12.04? [22:22] I had this issue before, but I solved it reinstalling Xubuntu completely [22:22] martinphone, nope [22:23] martinphone, there wont be either, you shouldnt use icons on your desktop, IMHO [22:23] why? not a priority? [22:23] GridCube: That's something I never understood. Why wouldn't you use icons on your desktop? [22:23] martinphone, i think you should ask on #xfce for that input [22:23] There's a screen full of emptyness and why wouldn't you utilize it [22:24] ThePendulum, pretty wallpaper and some nice screenlets :D [22:25] I guess I'm reinstalling Xubuntu once again lol [22:25] ThePendulum, no need for that [22:25] :P at least for the next few weeks [22:25] unistall nautilus [22:25] ThePendulum, http://imagebin.org/207239 [22:25] It feels so wrong when I fucked something up and then try to rebuild the old stuff bit by bit :P [22:26] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25683105/Pictures/Screenshots/2012040813%3A37%3A48%28General%29.png [22:26] you can delete your config folders and relog in, they should get rebooted [22:26] That's how it once was before I screwed it :O [22:27] The desktop switcher feels a bit wrong sitting in the middle there, but I have no idea how to position it better [22:28] i don't know what that is [22:28] What what is? [22:28] the desktop switcher [22:28] Workspace switcher, whatever you prefer :P [22:28] oh [22:28] i never use that [22:29] Multiple workspaces or the switcher? [22:29] i use just one desktop [22:29] Ah [22:29] Well I prefer having a few, to prevent my programs from clogging up [22:29] it really pisses me off when for some reason i start to have more than one [22:29] im like... but i had that program open alreadu [22:30] s/alreadu/already/ [22:31] Each workspace has its own function for me [22:31] First one for general stuff, second one for (web)development, 3th one for graphics and 4th one for media/entertainment [22:32] I'm just going to reinstall Xubuntu, this feels a bit too fucked up [22:33] D: [22:33] ThePendulum, you could like create a new user [22:34] and move things around :P [22:34] its faster [22:34] Then I have two users of which one is messed up [22:34] nooooo [22:34] you could delete one :P [22:34] It still won't remove the mess D: [22:35] did you removed nautilus already? [22:35] Half [22:35] I am going to reinstall Xubuntu at this very now, brb :P [23:30] GridCube: Fixed. [23:30] :P with a reinstall? [23:30] Yeah, lol [23:31] Now I only need to find a place for my workspace switcher [23:31] And the file that sets the menu colour [23:32] use key combinations [23:32] I like it visual even though I know how to switch [23:32] It gets a tad harder to know which workspace you're on without the little indicator [23:34] mmhm [23:42] I use Window Menu instead.
