[00:10] <Otyg> ThePendulum: sweden
[00:10] <ThePendulum> Close enough
[00:10] <ThePendulum> I wish I was in Sweden right now, damned
[00:11] <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.
[00:12] <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.
[00:13] <Otyg> Southern sweden, so we've got the coast-cold here atm...
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <Otyg> sounds like a good plan :)
[00:16] <Otyg> Anyhow, time for me to sleep before I break something important... Like the coffee-machine ;)
[00:16] <ThePendulum> Certainly. Goodnight!
[00:18] <Otyg> same to you !
[00:18] <ThePendulum> :)
[00:43] <ThePendulum> Does anyone have an idea what exact file to edit to change the Application menu background color?
[02:50] <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 I'm at my wit's end with an issue, and looking at old forum posts online that seem to be a few years outdated hasn't help.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.
[02:59] <GridCube> maoranma, yeah... that happens...
[02:59] <GridCube> :(
[03:00] <GridCube> you can try to use keytouch-editor to edit the function related to that particular key
[03:00] <GridCube> !keytouch | maoranma
[03:02] <GridCube> maoranma, this link might come handy as well http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/11392/pulseaudio-volume-control-with-media-keys/
[03:49] <bmk1189> Question: 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.
[03:53] <bmk1189> does anybody know what can I do?
[04:00] <holstein> bmk1189: have you logged out? what about after a reboot... what are you trying to change?
[04:08] <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.
[04:09] <bmk1189> And also, I was trying to change the speedstep (scaling) of CPU vía xfce4-cpufreq-plugin, but doesn't change anything...
[06:03] <csioktel> Hi, I'm new to xubuntu, any tips to tuning for desktop? (speedup bootup ...etc)

[11:55] <arpad2> hi
[11:55] <arpad2> how to set environment variable at a start of an application

[12:25] <psycho_oreos> arpad2, wrap the program with a script?
[13:43] <dariebi> hi all, does anybody know how to create mp3 cds in terminal???
[15:12] <dariebi> could somebody tell me a german xubuntu server in Xchat?
[15:22] <forestpiskie> server for what dariebi ?
[15:22] <forestpiskie> xchat or repositories
[15:27] <MordFustang> can someone tell why I have old appereance (win 98 style :D) in ubuntu software center and some other apps?
[15:33] <clausen> xfce4-power-manager-settings doesn't work for me
[15:33] <clausen> (oops, it just started wroking!)
[15:37] <mongy> MordFustang: is the theme you use located in ~/.themes?
[15:37] <MordFustang> mongy: i use cleanlooks
[15:38] <MordFustang> in xchat is working fine
[15:41] <mongy> MordFustang: that's the theme then.
[15:43] <mongy> other themes like greybird, which have a gtk3 template as well which might explain why, work ok
[15:45] <mongy> I use zukitwo-brave, looks fine to me. Clearlooks (which is crap imo) is the culprit it seems.
[15:46] <MordFustang> where can i get this theme?
[15:48] <mongy> gnome-look.or
[15:48] <mongy> org
[15:48] <MordFustang> i need to look gtk3 themes right?
[15:49] <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
[15:52] <MordFustang> where can i find ~/.themes ? :D
[15:53] <mongy> you'll have to make it.
[15:55] <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
[15:58] <clausen> xfce4 power management isn't working for me at all
[15:58] <clausen> my laptop doesn't suspend when I close the lid
[15:59] <clausen> and when I restart xfce4-power-manager, the settings tool doesn't work either
[15:59] <clausen> is there a convenient way to debug it?
[15:59] <clausen> (short of getting the source, and getting out gdb?!)
[16:20] <clausen> why is gnome-screen-saver getting launched when I log in?
[16:55] <martinphone> is there any command or app to get rid of all icons that dont point to a program anymore? (Failed to execute child process "bomberclone" (No such file or directory))
[16:55] <martinphone> +60 like that
[17:10] <xubuntu649> awesome
[17:10] <xubuntu649> tried crunchbang for the acer aspire one
[17:10] <xubuntu649> a lot of things did not work
[17:11] <xubuntu649> but xubuntu, 1368x768
[17:11] <xubuntu649> proper
[17:12] <martinphone> can I use FSlint to get rid of all broken symlinks in my categorized menu?
[17:48] <ThePendulum> Greetings

[17:52] <Yoplitein> I'm running 11.10 under VMware player
[17:53] <Yoplitein> I've installed VMware's tools
[17:53] <Yoplitein> yet clipboard sharing isn't working
[17:53] <Yoplitein> even with the toolbox program running
[17:55] <Yoplitein> nevermind, it seems a number of reboots and minor tinkering got it working
[19:01] <babble-> maybe?
[19:01] <babble-> ...and no.
[19:05] <c_smith> babble, did you just ping me?
[19:05] <babble> yes, sorry.
[19:05] <c_smith> ah, ok
[19:05] <babble> I've been having horrendous lag all day
[19:05] <c_smith> ah, ok
[19:05] <babble> I tried a couple of the bots and got no response.
[19:05] <babble> sorry to bug :)
[19:05] <c_smith> not a problem.
[19:06] <c_smith> need to get back to this essay, with luck, I'll be done with the 4th by tonight. they aren't due until 8AM Monday.
[19:18] <wickedwiccan> anyone know how to disable guest from showing up in the login screen?
[19:19] <forestpiskie> yep
[19:20] <forestpiskie> 2 secs
[19:21] <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
[19:34] <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
[19:35] <wellness> ciao
[19:35] <wellness> c'è nessuno?
[19:35] <wellness> volevo installare xubuntu sul mio acerone
[19:36] <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
[19:37] <wellness> which is the first step?
[19:37] <wickedwiccan> download and burn the iso to a disk :P
[19:38] <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
[19:39] <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
[19:40] <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
[19:41] <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
[19:42] <wellness> my netbook is anol acer one
[19:42] <wellness> my netbook is an old acer one
[19:44] <wellness> then ??
[19:45] <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
[19:46] <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
[19:47] <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
[19:49] <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
[19:50] <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
[19:51] <forestpiskie> I had similar - bit I have 2 monitors - was looking in the wrong place ...
[19:52] <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
[19:54]  * mongy likes his grub2 stick and isos folder.
[19:54] <forestpiskie> wickedwiccan: apparently it might be worth removing the configs
[19:55] <forestpiskie> we did that :(
[19:56] <wickedwiccan> Its cool I'm thinking of going to Sabayon I liked how prety it is
[19:56] <forestpiskie> lol
[19:57] <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
[19:58] <babble> are you trying the Xfce 4.10 preview?
[19:58] <wickedwiccan> no
[19:58] <wickedwiccan> 11.10 xubuntu
[19:59] <babble> have you tried a purge & reinstall of xfce4-panel?
[20:00] <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)
[20:09] <wickedwiccan> ok that guide seemed to fix the problem
[20:12] <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
[20:22] <mongy> wickedwiccan: the compositor in xfce is a little poor (imo) so try turning it off.
[20:23] <wickedwiccan> i enabled some vsync stuff let me see if that fixed it :P
[20:56] <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
[21:01] <mongy> wickedwiccan: still got composting enabled?
[21:02] <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
[21:03] <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,
[21:04] <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
[21:05] <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
[21:06] <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.
[21:07] <tomas> oops just a wall and no compozites (minimize, close)
[21:07] <tomas> how do I revert
[21:08] <mongy> you need to use a window manager that works..  gtk or emerald (you'll need to compile emerald)
[21:09] <tomas> ehhh thats not LTS. I want to revert, how to remove that --replace ccp
[21:09] <mongy> ctrl c
[21:10] <mongy> tomas: stick with 11.10 for now.
[21:13] <mongy> wickedwiccan: there no nvidia control app to enable vsynv?
[21:13] <mongy> vsync*
[21:14] <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
[21:15] <mongy> wickedwiccan: dopen source nvidia same?
[21:16] <wickedwiccan> I didn't pay 2k for this laptop to be stuck with opensource drivers that suck for gaming :P
[21:17] <mongy> you paid 2k for a laptop to use linux for *cough* gaming?
[21:18] <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.
[21:45] <martinphone> any idea to get rid of broken links in my categorized "other" menu? fslint doesnt seem to do the thing
[21:46] <GridCube> martinphone, try editing them out wiht alacarte
[21:47] <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
[21:49] <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
[21:50] <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
[21:51] <martinphone>  Command line option --no-install-recommend is not understood
[21:52] <martinphone> crap
[21:52] <martinphone> s
[21:52] <GridCube> you forgot an s
[21:52] <GridCube> :)
[21:53] <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
[21:56] <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
[21:57] <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...
[21:58] <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.
[22:17] <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
[22:18] <martinphone> ctrl+something?
[22:19] <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> Nautilus rather than Thunar is running
[22:19] <ThePendulum> (I just figured)
[22:19] <ThePendulum> eh... *xfwm
[22:20] <ThePendulum> Hmpf, I don't know what's going on, but something is not right
[22:21] <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/
[22:22] <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
[22:23] <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
[22:24] <GridCube> ThePendulum, pretty wallpaper and some nice screenlets :D
[22:25] <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
[22:26] <ThePendulum> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25683105/Pictures/Screenshots/2012040813%3A37%3A48%28General%29.png
[22:26] <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
[22:27] <ThePendulum> The desktop switcher feels a bit wrong sitting in the middle there, but I have no idea how to position it better
[22:28] <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
[22:29] <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
[22:30] <GridCube> s/alreadu/already/
[22:31] <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
[22:32] <ThePendulum> I'm just going to reinstall Xubuntu, this feels a bit too fucked up
[22:33] <GridCube> D:
[22:33] <GridCube> ThePendulum, you could like create a new user
[22:34] <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:
[22:35] <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
[23:30] <ThePendulum> GridCube: Fixed.
[23:30] <GridCube> :P with a reinstall?
[23:30] <ThePendulum> Yeah, lol
[23:31] <ThePendulum> Now I only need to find a place for my workspace switcher
[23:31] <ThePendulum> And the file that sets the menu colour
[23:32] <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
[23:34] <GridCube> mmhm
[23:42] <babble> I use Window Menu instead.
