[00:00] lapsusbrutus: what is kiosk mode? [00:00] pretty desperate trying to locking down the panels. [00:01] lapsusbrutus: is possible lock panels in xfce? [00:01] have to have a computer ready for tomorrow morning :| with a locked down UI, I read xfce had kiosk mode and installed. kioskmode works on everything but the panels :\ [00:02] P-Chan: sais so in wiki: http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/kiosk_mode?rev=1271624433 [00:02] lapsusbrutus, i think you'd be better off asking in #xfce :) [00:03] lapsusbrutus: THANKs. I love XFCE. I hope XFCE neve change [00:03] lapsusbrutus, i mean, feel free to hang around here too, but i haven't seen pretty much any questions about kiosk mode for ages [00:04] did that, seems like its not something most people care about :) [00:04] mmh, probably true, it's not like people want kiosk mode at home :) [00:05] I use awesomewm, and love it. but xfce is pretty nice too :) cant get used to overlapping windows though [00:08] lapsusbrutus: when I start my xubuntu(he automatically log on) the option to chosse my session or default ever appears. How I choose login automatic? [00:09] P-Chan, go application menu and then system [00:10] P-Chan, in system go to users and groups [00:10] thanks. I will try it. How put places menu INSIde XFCE menu [00:10] in the system ok [00:11] Am going to install xubuntu and do a review on it and ideas for me to say:) [00:11] good look [00:11] is very hard .... jejeje [00:12] aguitel: xubuntu isn't hard. Pure debian is hard. [00:12] P-Chan, e piada [00:12] aguitel: what do you mean that xubuntu is hard [00:12] rock solid [00:12] tbrown, is joke [00:13] ok [00:13] meu xubuntu tá instavel mas não tão instavel como o Kubuntu [00:13] aguitel, P-Chan: english only please [00:13] P-Chan, stable do you say ? [00:13] aguitel: I think that am going to install it on my main computer wish me luck [00:13] knome: sorry wrong tab [00:14] tbrown, i wish you [00:15] aguitel: How can I get a job that has linux in it am 19 years old and am in high school still [00:15] Is possible create remastered Xubuntu in Windows XP or Seveb? [00:15] tbrown, what that means ? [00:16] never mind [00:16] Who in here works for linux [00:16] damn [00:16] i dont know [00:17] thunar doesnt mount my blackberry as massive storage [00:18] barry and linberry detects the blackberry [00:23] Ok guys other question: How put places menu inside XFCE Menu [00:23] ? [00:26] Does Xubuntu Get Virus or Bugs:) [00:26] IF so Can I get a program that will help me with that stuff [00:27] unless you run random binaries/scripts from internet, no [00:27] http://voyager.legtux.org/ is a nice spin [00:27] Virus affects all systemsn [00:27] Marzata: I don't like forks because has few programers [00:28] P-Chan, the places menu is a panel applet and you can't add that in the xubuntu menu [00:28] knome: ok thanks [00:28] there is pretty much no viruses on linux. [00:29] even those which exists will need you typing your password at a wrong time (or from their POV, the right time) [00:29] so as long as you use common sense and think twice before typing your password, you should be fine [00:29] so a blackberry on massive storage mode must be monted by thunar right? [00:30] of course bugs exist in packages, but no application can fight that :) [00:48] well finaly I have 12.04 working [00:49] all the problems gone after the install of the ati video driver [01:20] remind me to do a clean install instead of an upgrade next time ... [01:30] I still have trouble with keyboard shortcuts. I defined shortcuts for window positioning with wmctrl, they all are + a keypad key. the work fine with most programs, but not with all of them. they don't work e.g. with xchat. any ideas?

I can try this side and see what gives [08:48] koegs, I just tried it with the default F7 and that does not work either, all the other shortcuts do work though.

[08:50] derp [08:51] also it takes some time until the standard-hotkeys for browser, terminal, etc. are working [08:53] Super is the windows' flag key? [08:53] yes [08:53] also tried ALT_L + Up as an alternative, same problem [08:53] I use that key to change language layouts.

[09:08] xuserx: from the bug report you have to remaster the iso afaict [09:08] ah, ok... [09:09] !minimal [09:09] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [09:10] ceelight: ^^ [09:10] so i cant remaster xubuntu 12.04 iso? [09:10] xuserx: you can if you want [09:10] but how can i fix that error? [09:12] well_laid_lawn: thx, I'll give it a try. [09:12] well_laid_lawn: how can i fix that error? [09:13] ceelight, is there not a single netboot file for all the flavours after which you do a cli install and choose you're apps/DE? [09:13] xuserx: see post #10 of the bugreport [09:14] ceelight, as far as i know it works similar to the alternate cd. But here is the netboot files for 12.04 http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/precise/ [09:15] well_laid_lawn: what post? [09:16] ok [09:16] mips1911: thanks for the link! Problem is that on the machine where I want to install xubuntu the cdrom is broken. The BIOS doesn't let me boot from USB, so netbook. [09:16] -k+t [09:17] ceelight, then that link will work for you, just select the right architecture, i386, amd64 etc. [09:18] mips1911: yeah, no problem. Not the first time for me... ;-) Thanks again!

[09:41] gnome-look.org and xfce-look.org have quite nice variety of gtk3 themes [09:42] ok, I'll try gnome-look.org and xfce-look.org and see if I find some nice dark theme [09:49] how can i install uck 2.4.6 svn? === mcdonc__ is now known as mcdonc [09:50] i will try uck 2.4.6 svn [09:51] how can i empty root trash in xubuntu?

[10:57] damn! phone === tomreyn_ is now known as tomreyn [11:30] somebody able to suggest a good printer-scanner-copier for linux? [11:30] for personal use, doesn't have to be high-end or anything [11:33] knome: depends what you're looking for in it [11:33] just the features, in color [11:33] doesn't have to be anything special, just work [11:33] alright, I suppose HP is good in that then. If you were looking for black and white laser I'd say Samsung [11:34] any hp model, or something specific? [11:34] it's for my mom, she already has a hp i think, but i also think that one is borked [11:34] I've got one in Finland and one in UK, SCX-4200 and SCX-4500W and they work mostly plug and play, the scanner sharing over network needs a bit more work but oh well [11:35] (of Samsung) [11:35] hah, "over network" doesn't belong in her repertoire anyway [11:35] but yeah, now that you mention it, i think it wouldn't hurt if it was a network printer [11:36] almost any HP should be fine, they are usually well supported with hplip [11:37] mm-hmm. good [11:37] thanks [11:37] check linuxprinting etc first tho [11:37] heh, verkkokauppa.com is advertisin a hp all-in-one [11:37] what I'd really suggest tho is to consider black and white lasers [11:38] i'm 99% confident that's a no-go [11:38] the ink is more expensive but it yields longer and is cheaper and faster [11:38] ie. money used at one time at purchase is more, but it prints more pages being cheaper at the end of the day [11:39] yeah, i know [11:39] but again, it's not for me [11:39] though i'd go for an inkjet too, but (at least) a3 and print-over-edge [11:39] the SCX-4200 I bought in late 2007 is only now running out of it's introductory smaller ink casette [11:39] but that's a different story... [11:39] huho, yeah [11:40] main use has has been printing train/flight tickets and occasional code printout [11:40] unless she is printing photographs, which is stupid, there is relatively small benefits in having a colour inkjet [11:41] just something to think about... [11:41] knome, hp officejet series. One with built in lan is even better. Got a 6313 which is great [11:42] Myrtti, yeah... [11:57] wireless mice work usually well, right? [12:12] knome, i second hp printers, the drivers worked for everything i attached to pc's (from 90's plotters to modern all in ones etc), and wireless mice/keyboards work fine, at least if you go for something decent like logitech etc [12:12] yeah, she has a logitech mouse [12:12] and acutally, a hp printer too ;) [12:15] Heh ok that should be fine then :) [12:16] i hope so. possibly going to install 12.04 for her tomorrow [12:17] or if not tomorrow, any time soon whatsoever [12:19] nice, I know my mom appreciated the interface/stability etc after switching from windows 7, xfce is seems very mom-friendly ;) [12:19] I should upgrade mom's laptop to 12.04 [12:19] yup, wife-friendly too! [12:20] knome, I also have a logitech wireless mouse on my laptop [12:22] I might be migrating my sister's machine to Xubuntu with 12.04 [12:23] ich will upgrade moms laptop from 10.4 when 12.04.1 is released :) [12:23] so it's rolereversal, I've moved from Xubuntu to Ubuntu on 11.10, and she'll move to Xubuntu from Ubuntu on 12.04 [12:25] baizon: wimp [12:25] * yell0w >_> [12:25] yell0w, please, we don't need that attitude [12:25] wimp? [12:25] upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04.1 is encouraged [12:25] hahaha knome jk [12:25] yell0w, please don't [12:26] jk? [12:26] yell0w, irony is really hard to "get" over irc [12:26] i am on 10.4 waiting for 12.04.1 [12:26] words please, no shortcuts [12:26] a ok [12:26] xubuntu or ubuntu? [12:27] been using ubuntu up until 2 days ago [12:28] unity offers some really interesting options for power users, but I'm happy with my xfce setup [12:28] i saw 12.04 come out so i thought, time to start migrating [12:28] :D [12:28] Sysi: yeah I suspect the brilliance of Unity is lost on my sister [12:28] Sysi: and XFCE is fine for her just like it was fine for me [12:29] I'd probably still be using Xubuntu if Unity hadn't grown on me when I used it on a tablet machine [12:29] Myrtti: I can't know if she'd hate it, but she'll probably like xfce [12:29] Myrtti, so, as somebody who went the other way, what's in unity that you didn't get from xfce - or is it about something else? [12:30] knome: I absolutely love the Empathy/Gmail indicator integration [12:30] hmm. can't you have that in xfce too? [12:30] I used a lot of keyboard shortcuts on XFCE too, so that's nothing new [12:31] I never really got that integration when I used gnome-shell.. maybe I'm not active enough with IMs [12:32] what I like is the ease of looking up applications and files with the Unity search thingie, it's like a cross between Gnome-Do, Run dialog and the menus [12:32] mm-hmm [12:32] Sysi: it's more about the email integration for me [12:32] ah [12:32] i use popper :) [12:33] very nice for multiple email account [12:33] * knome only wants email when he clicks email [12:33] perhaps I should try to do that screencast [12:33] again [12:33] \o/ [12:35] * Sysi installing synapse [12:35] Myrtti: i'm the other way around. i prefer gnome-do over unity [12:35] yell0w: i use synapse :) [12:36] loving it since day 1 [12:36] not in the repo ? [12:37] for 10.04 maybe not yet [12:37] baizon: do I need to add it to autostart? [12:38] Sysi: damn i forgot [12:38] if im not wrong there should be an option [12:38] to autolaunch [12:38] seems to be, I guess that works [12:39] * knome is off, see you all later [12:40] cu knome [12:41] meh, synapse is nowhere near the usability of spotlight [12:43] Sysi: your using xubuntu? [12:43] yup [12:44] i mean its the same as spotlight =) [12:44] much worse with files [12:45] ok [12:45] but there is no spotlight for linux? [12:46] I have mac too [12:54] ok [12:54] Sysi: kupfer ? [12:55] does ctrl-f4 not work in xubuntu ? [12:55] does it even work for searching files? [12:55] yes Sysi [12:55] whta should ctrl F4 do? [12:55] close tabs ? [12:55] i swear it was working yesterday :~( [12:56] now it's not [12:57] yell0w, ctrl-w [12:57] kupfer doesn't really look any better.. [12:58] GridCube: can i change it somewhere ?

Never had to use it. [17:15] Well, thank you. [17:16] so all folks use android huh? [17:17] Not necessarily, just the active ones don't use BlackBerry. [17:17] i mean, i try to use the massive storage but xubuntu doesnt mount it [17:17] but barry and linberry detectes the phone [17:17] and lsusb as well [17:18] !info barrybackup-gui [17:18] barrybackup-gui (source: barry): GTK+ based GUI for backing up the RIM BlackBerry Handheld. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.15-1.2 (precise), package size 72 kB, installed size 290 kB [17:18] barry detects the phone and can sync and all, but the massive storage mode doesnt work [17:19] xubuntu doesnt mount it [17:19] btw fedo** using KD* mounts it as USB Key [17:20] You could try manually with mount. [17:21] I've never used a BB before, so I'm not likely to know for sure. [17:21] yeah but the pc with xubuntu is not for me. but for my brother, a non linux user [17:23] and xubuntu mounts regulars usb keys but not the god***** phone [17:25] can anyone please paste the command used to scan from the terminal? was it pnma something? [17:26] blackberries aren't even sold where I live [17:28] hi! does thunar remember its window position? [17:29] Unit193, i am getting this error with samba share http://www.fpaste.org/YPt0/ [17:30] nishttal2: Did you check dmesg? (type that into terminal to see) and can you paste the line you use too? [17:30] Also, what did you use to make the auth file? It's a bit picky on that. [17:30]
