| craigbass1976 | David-A, sudo apt-get install xfswitch-plugin ? Is that what I'm missing? | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| David-A | craigbass1976: probably yes, i didnt install it explicitly but got it via xfce4-goodies, i think. | 00:04 |
| David-A | ChristopherNG: you can test if you have open ports with shields-up. go to http://www.grc.com/ , click shieldsUP, scroll down, click shieldsUP, read use conditions, click proceed, and then click "file sharing" or "common ports" or "all ports" (long time) | 00:17 |
| gurrag | How do I set the "Window Buttons" panel item not to overflow off the side of the taskbar [i.e. pushing other panel items off the screen] ? | 00:23 |
| GridCube | :( | 00:24 |
| GridCube | you cant | 00:24 |
| ChristopherNG | David-A: thank you | 00:25 |
| GridCube | what i do is: 1) use the grouping ability (all the related windows will have their own group task icon) or 2) untick the "show icon labels" option so the task icons are smaller | 00:26 |
| GridCube | gurrag, ^ | 00:26 |
| gurrag | dang, really? | 00:29 |
| gurrag | did they fix that in 4.10 of XFCE at all? | 00:29 |
| GridCube | dunno | 00:29 |
| gurrag | the joy of open source heh | 00:29 |
| gurrag | thanks though | 00:29 |

| calligar | *I am in need of some help, sorry. | 01:32 |
| calligar | heres my problem.... | 01:33 |
| calligar | i kinda did a little repartitioning with windows, and now i have a windows error that requires "repairing" the pc...this was caused because I put xubuntu 12.04 on the first harddrive (my pc apparently has 2 500 gb hard drives), so, to shorten this up and get to the point, im trying to back up my pc w/ a program called lucky backup (which my friend suggested i use), however, the internet is EXTREMELY slow on things like firefox, while s | 01:35 |
| calligar | therefore, i cant get this program | 01:35 |
| calligar | i have an intel centrino-n + wimax 6150 (or somethin similar to that) wireless card if that helps | 01:36 |
| calligar | windows 7 (before i moved the partition) connected to the internet just fine, so do all my other labtops (like the one im using now) | 01:37 |
| calligar | therefore, i no its definately xubuntu | 01:38 |
| calligar | im jus wonderin, is there a alternate easy way to get the program luckybackup w/o means of internet (on that computer), or is there an easy way to fix the internet connection problem? | 01:39 |
| calligar | id prefer to fix the internet connection if thats possible... | 01:39 |

| bipolar | has anyone been able to get kiosk mode to work? I can get items to show as locked in xfce4-settings-editor, but they are not really locked. For instance if I try to lock the panel so it can't be moved, it can be unlocked and moved by the user. | 02:56 |
| calligar | out of curiousity, y r u trying to lock the items? | 03:02 |
| ToZ | bipolar, see: http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=6675 | 03:02 |
| calligar | ah kk, jw... | 03:02 |
| bipolar | ToZ, It looks like I can only lock the panel down by locking the whole channel. The entire thing needs to be locked and the user can't customize anything on the panel at all. :( | 03:07 |
| calligar | r u sure? theres nothin else u can do? | 03:09 |
| bipolar | calligar, I am able to lock the whole thing down, but locking individual properties doesn't seem to have any effect at all. | 03:10 |
| bipolar | even though the xfce docs say it should be possible. | 03:10 |
| ToZ | bipolar, what do you mean by locking individual properties? | 03:11 |
| bipolar | ToZ, for instance, just the ability to move the panel. | 03:12 |
| bipolar | <property name="position-locked" type="bool" value="true" unlocked="root"/> | 03:12 |
| ToZ | bipolar, that doesn't lock panel position? | 03:14 |
| bipolar | ToZ, no. xfce4-settings-editor shows the property as being locked, but the user can still change it. | 03:14 |
| ToZ | bipolar, perhaps a bug report at bugzilla.xfce.org? | 03:16 |
| bipolar | ToZ, could be. | 03:17 |

| ChristopherNg | What is the meaning of Unit 193? | 04:50 |
| Unit193 | That's unclear by your first request, and offtopic anyway. | 04:52 |
| ChristopherNg | Well Unit 731 was a racist Japanese Unit that did experiments on Chinese people, I just wanted to make sure that this 193 wasnt related to that in anyway. | 04:53 |
| pleia2 | ChristopherNg: please take this elsewhere | 04:53 |
| ChristopherNg | As that would violate the freenode policy for racist or offensive terms. | 04:53 |
| ChristopherNg | pleia2: yes we should take it to offtopic but im going to sleep. Just pointing out that freenode policy should be ahdered to fully. | 04:54 |
| Unit193 | 731 != 193, and not the place anyway. | 04:54 |
| pleia2 | ChristopherNg: you are being really inappropriate, please stop | 04:54 |
| ChristopherNg | Like I said im going to sleep i could careless, I was just making sure that freenode policy was being upheld, Nn | 04:54 |

| x__ | Hello - i am searching for a windows XP Luna windows manager theme - BUT i coudn't find any - the are some themes but i can not find a windows manager theme - i need to make xubuntu look like windows xp luna - i am using xUbunutu 12.4 | 06:48 |
| knome | it's possible there isn't any | 06:49 |
| knome | (and btw, it's 12.04, year.month) | 06:49 |
| x__ | sorry - i do not understand what does : 12.04, year.month mean | 06:50 |
| knome | 12 for 2012, 04 for april :) | 06:50 |
| x__ | aaa - i am new to xubunut | 06:50 |
| x__ | i almost can't believe that there are no Windows XP windows manager themes - there are thousand of themes ... | 06:52 |
| gordonjcp | why would you want it to look like Windows XP? | 06:53 |
| gordonjcp | one reason for there being no themes based on XP is that they might infringe on Microsoft's IP | 06:53 |
| x__ | i am new to xubunutu and also my colleagues - a windows xp theme will make our transitions to xubuntu more easy | 06:54 |
| gordonjcp | no, it won't | 06:54 |
| gordonjcp | nothing will work anything like the way it does in XP | 06:54 |
| gordonjcp | making it look like XP won't help with that | 06:54 |
| gordonjcp | if anything, it'll just confuse you | 06:55 |
| Sysi | isn't some default theme quite close to XP | 06:55 |
| x__ | why are used to see a blue windows bar - and also we are used to some icons .. | 06:55 |
| gordonjcp | x__: then you need to get used to something different | 06:56 |
| x__ | and also - i must say that i like windows xp theme | 06:56 |
| x__ | i like the colors | 06:57 |
| gordonjcp | well, there's no accounting for taste | 06:57 |
| gordonjcp | x__: I only started using XP very recently, at work | 06:58 |
| x__ | there are a LOT of themes that make xubunutu look like OSX but no luna thee ... | 06:58 |
| gordonjcp | I can't really say I like it | 06:58 |
| gordonjcp | it's garish and clunky | 06:58 |
| gordonjcp | "Windows XP Professional" | 06:58 |
| gordonjcp | "Professional" it says, but it looks like the set design for a children's TV programme | 06:58 |
| x__ | i understand - but i was working on windows for allmost 20 :) | 06:59 |
| x__ | 20 years | 06:59 |
| knome | Sysi, i don't think they are "default" anymore :) | 06:59 |
| Sysi | oh right, are they in some package then? | 07:00 |
| knome | xfce(4)-themes? | 07:00 |
| gordonjcp | x__: like I say, making the UI elements look like Windows won't make it any easier to get used to | 07:01 |
| x__ | where can i find Redmond-xp theme ? is it in some package ? | 07:02 |
| knome | x__, try xfwm4-themes | 07:03 |
| ochosi | x__: you can also try to download this one: http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/win4ubuntu+windows+xp?content=114453 | 07:03 |
| knome | x__, but i agree with gordonjcp - many themes are pretty close, and as long as the window buttons are in the same order, i'm sure people won't have too much problems with that | 07:03 |
| ochosi | x__: i haven't used it personally though (and one comment says "my settings are RUINED" :p) | 07:03 |
| * knome gets shivers | 07:03 | |
| x__ | redmond xp IS in xfwm4-themes package - thank you | 07:07 |

| loule | hi | 09:45 |
| loule | has anyone tried deeply xfce on xubuntu 4.10? | 09:45 |
| loule | another try, better sentence :) has anyone tried xfce 4.10 on 12.04 ? | 09:47 |
| baizon | loule: im using it | 09:48 |
| loule | is it working great? | 09:49 |
| loule | from fresh install or upgrade? | 09:50 |
| Marzata | fresh install? | 09:51 |
| Sysi | Marzata: from cd, not upgraded from previous version/lts | 09:51 |
| loule | yes | 09:52 |
| loule | i m really interested in triing it but don't have time to reinstall if this break anything | 09:53 |
| loule | baizon : any feedback ? | 09:54 |
| Sysi | it's in official xubuntu dev's ppa so basically guys supporting xubuntu support it with 4.10 too | 09:54 |
| Sysi | and you can revert quite easily with package manager | 09:55 |
| loule | yes, but really don't have time to revert if big troubles comin... ( maybe some kind of laziness too.. :) ) | 09:55 |
| Sysi | still maybe better stay old unless you really want something from it | 09:56 |
| knome | loule, then don't use the ppa. | 09:56 |
| knome | Sysi, and well, not really. (re: xfce 4.10 support in 12.04) | 09:56 |
| Marzata | you can get 4.10 fresh install from an iso? | 09:56 |
| knome | Sysi, it's just added for convenience, but it's not supported | 09:56 |
| knome | Marzata, no. | 09:56 |
| Sysi | knome: well, maintainers of ppa should support, but yeah | 09:57 |
| Marzata | do they plan it for 12.04.1? | 09:57 |
| knome | Marzata, nope | 09:57 |
| loule | well i think i'll give it a try | 09:57 |
| baizon | loule: upgrade, nothing is broken | 09:58 |
| loule | most of those who did seem ok | 09:58 |
| knome | Sysi, in theory yes. but it's really not like that, there are too many ppa's with not supported stuff. | 09:58 |
| baizon | Marzata: no | 09:58 |
| Marzata | so, next LTS with a new Xfce will be 14.04? | 09:58 |
| knome | Marzata, yes | 09:58 |
| Marzata | thanks, good to know that. | 09:58 |
| baizon | Marzata: xfce 4.10 will be included in 12.10 | 09:58 |
| baizon | 14.04 will have xfce 4.12 for sure | 09:59 |
| loule | baizon : ok, if an upgrade did well, i think that 'll do it | 09:59 |
| baizon | maybe 4.14 | 09:59 |
| baizon | loule: i used the xfce-dev ppa | 09:59 |
| Sysi | 12.10 isn't LTS though | 09:59 |
| baizon | loule: 1 thing | 09:59 |
| loule | k, that is what i'm gonna do too | 09:59 |
| knome | Sysi, but it's better to have 4.10 in the official ppa, and done right and tested at least a bit than not having it there and then getting some hacked up ppa's... | 09:59 |
| baizon | after the upgrade i recommend to purge the .session folder | 09:59 |
| Marzata | will stick to 12.04 LTS as far as we can. will see. | 09:59 |
| loule | baizon : did some tricky conf edit ? | 10:00 |
| Sysi | knome: totally | 10:00 |
| knome | Sysi, that's why it is the dev ppa, but not supported :) | 10:00 |
| baizon | loule: no | 10:00 |
| baizon | loule: like i said, deleted only the .session folder because i had problems with autostarting apps | 10:01 |
| loule | ok | 10:02 |
| baizon | that was the only problem i had | 10:02 |
| Sysi | ~/.cache/sessions maybe too | 10:02 |
| baizon | yes thats what i ment | 10:03 |
| baizon | the cache session folder | 10:03 |
| baizon | thanks Sysi :) | 10:03 |
| loule | the tile feature is working great? | 10:06 |
| baizon | loule: like it should | 10:06 |
| loule | that's a good start :) | 10:07 |
| baizon | loule: that was my most wanted feature | 10:08 |
| baizon | using it alot | 10:08 |
| loule | honestly.... since i use Windows 7 at work.... can't live without | 10:08 |
| Sysi | I should learn to use this feature everyone seems to adore so much | 10:09 |
| loule | it's not a main feature that would change the world, but seems so natural once you use it... | 10:11 |
| loule | well, got to go, thanks for the infos all of you, see you soon | 10:12 |

| xubuntu244 | i have a paragraph i wrote out that i can paste but it is pretty big and might be hard to follow... | 13:02 |
| xubuntu244 | Well basically my windows 7 system crashed a few days ago so i went to use my system repair disk and i then realised half way through doing a fresh install of win 7 that i remembered i didnt burn the disk correctly so then my laptop wouldnt boot at all anymore i have had lots of trouble in the past with this laptop so i wanted to put ubuntu on it seen as it is free and i dont have the money to get it repaired at first ubuntu insta | 13:02 |
| knome | try !pastebin | 13:02 |

| knome | - and just describing the problem with *xubuntu* is fine | 13:03 |
| xubuntu244 | is that okay? | 13:04 |
| knome | xubuntu244, i/we didn't see the whole message, it was cut off the middle - try pasting it to pastebin (link above= | 13:04 |
| xubuntu244 | it says download as text? | 13:05 |
| * loule at xfce 4.10 . Pretty nice but few troubles | 13:05 | |
| loule | tiling upside or downside juste tiling on half of the screen with dual display customised | 13:06 |
| loule | but at first boot, was working great. But please devs ....... make default windows border easiest to grab to resize the windows !!! :) | 13:07 |
| knome | xubuntu244, so your problem is not able to install becuase you get stuck in the wireless dialog (http://paste.ubuntu.com/988886/) | 13:10 |
| knome | xubuntu244, have you tried the live cd? | 13:11 |
| knome | xubuntu244, i mean, the "try xubuntu" mode? | 13:11 |
| xubuntu244 | yes it works fine | 13:11 |
| knome | ok. in bios, or via buttons (if it's laptop), can you disable wireless while you install? | 13:11 |
| knome | and have you tried that | 13:12 |
| xubuntu244 | yes i have tried that still freezes | 13:12 |
| knome | have you tried with no internet at all? | 13:13 |
| xubuntu244 | do you mean when it gives you the option to connect or not connect? | 13:13 |
| magnus | loule: I agree with the grabbing the border thing, can be a pain some times | 13:14 |
| knome | xubuntu244, no, i mean just disabling internet altogether, so it doesn't have a possibility to connect | 13:18 |
| knome | xubuntu244, also, have you checked the CD integrity? | 13:18 |
| xubuntu244 | turning off the router? or something in the bios? and yes i have it says it is fine | 13:18 |
| knome | if there's a option in the bios, try that (that should disable the hardware), but if not, then try the router | 13:19 |
| knome | i think most bioses have an option to disable unneeded hardware | 13:19 |

| syk | is it possible to replace thunar with nautilus? | 16:23 |
| baizon | syk: yes it is | 16:24 |
| baizon | open USC and just install it | 16:24 |
| syk | ok | 16:24 |
| Unit193 | Just know that nautilus likes to take over. | 16:25 |
| jgmdev | pcmanfm is a great alternative, it supports tabs, and works great with network mounts | 16:30 |
| aquix | and nautilus doesn't have the "lasso" marking effect in list view. Talked to the guys in the irc.gnome.org nautilus channel and there is no plans for it. Why I have used thunar for years on gnome 2. | 16:33 |
| Unit193 | I have and use both pcmanfm and thunar, they have different strong points. | 16:33 |
| baizon | i use DoubleCommander :P | 16:34 |
| syk | is it safe to remove thunar? to make nautilus default | 16:35 |
| jgmdev | thunar is used internally by xfce4-desktop | 16:38 |
| syk | ah | 16:38 |
| jgmdev | so while you may set nautilus as preferred file manager, opening a file from desktop will insist on using thunar | 16:39 |
| syk | i see | 16:40 |

| Phips- | hi | 17:21 |
| Phips- | i have a little prob: xubuntu or better Firefox web browser doesn´t show me the website www.parkplatzvergleich.de completely | 17:22 |
| Phips- | when i´m searching for parking in frankfurt, there must be 22 search reasults at this page (in Win XP Home, Prof. and Vista), but Firefox only shows 8 of them | 17:24 |
| Phips- | is that a mistake in the settings or is that page/server a bit ... "stupid" and doesn´t send the right informations back ? | 17:25 |
| baizon | Phips-: googles profiling is the "bad guy" | 17:27 |
| baizon | google doesnt know that its you on the laptop :) | 17:27 |
| baizon | if you have a google account log in and you will get the same results :) | 17:28 |
| Phips- | yes, but it isn´t google that doesn´t show me the complete reasults, its the website parkplatzvergleich.de | 17:28 |
| baizon | Phips-: a ok | 17:29 |
| baizon | Phips-: what versions do you got? | 17:29 |
| baizon | of ff i mean | 17:30 |
| Phips- | Windows: when you´re looking "awake" and fast at the scrollbar on the right, loading, show the page, load a bit more, the bar gets smaller | 17:30 |
| Phips- | hm, another person is now at comp, at win at the moment, but i think it´s the current version | 17:31 |
| Phips- | of ff ^^ | 17:31 |
| Phips- | so, is that possible that ff doesn´t recieve all site information ? | 17:32 |
| baizon | not really | 17:33 |
| Phips- | hm | 17:33 |
| baizon | but that could be a web site implementation problem | 17:33 |
| baizon | because they are detecting your browser | 17:33 |
| Phips- | i thought about that ... | 17:34 |
| Phips- | i think that´s a server problem (server which is uploading the pagefiles) | 17:35 |
| Phips- | i´ll show for updates when i´m back in ubuntu again | 17:37 |
| Phips- | and one other thing: | 17:41 |
| Phips- | import mails from first OS Win XP to Thunderb. | 17:41 |
| Phips- | had already extras > import > messages | 17:42 |
| Phips- | but he didn´t show me any list for choosing the client from Win -.- | 17:42 |
| Phips- | ok bye | 17:56 |

| sambagirl | is is at all credible to think you can upgrade from ubuntu 10.10 to xubuntu? | 20:26 |
| === PreciseOne is now known as IdleOne | ||
| Tojarkayu | @sambagirl I don't believe that will work, the disc will want to install side by side next to your old os | 20:27 |
| GridCube | sambagirl, upgrading and then installing xubuntu-desktop | 20:28 |
| sambagirl | ok well the reason i am considering the change from ubuntu is due to the new interface and menu styling they have been using since 10.10 and it's just not functiion for our purposes. | 20:28 |
| GridCube | then you have to purge unity stuff | 20:29 |
| GridCube | but a clean install is always better | 20:29 |
| sambagirl | yes it's the unity thing that has prevented us from upgrading | 20:29 |
| sambagirl | yes | 20:29 |
| Tojarkayu | that why I switched to xubuntu, I hate unity, and trying to remove it was causing me problems | 20:29 |
| GridCube | sambagirl, you can, you just have to install the xubuntu-desktop metapackage after you end the upgrade | 20:30 |
| Tojarkayu | I did clean installs after about a day of messing with it | 20:30 |
| sambagirl | so if i do on a laptop a clonezilla backup and then try the upgrade to a newer release of ubuntu and then install xubuntu-desktop and then remove the unity i can see what i have i guess | 20:30 |
| GridCube | yes | 20:30 |
| GridCube | will recommend a clean install though | 20:30 |
| sambagirl | ok thanks i'll atleast test on a laptop with backup done first. thanks! | 20:31 |

| jdaf | hello. i want to encrypt a couple of external hdds and i can't seem to find resources on easily doing the enryption process. could anyone point me to some resources? | 21:15 |
| GridCube | !encryption | 21:15 |
| ubottu | For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 21:15 |
| jdaf | thanks, skimming it now | 21:17 |
| jdaf | so i run `ecryptfs-setup-private` in in `/media/TEST_USB` and it says: `ERROR: wrapped-passphrase file already exists, use --force to overwrite.` | 21:28 |
| jdaf | my home dir is encrypted, i chose encrypt home dir during install | 21:29 |
| jdaf | hmm, nevermind. reading this one now: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemsOnRemovableStorage | 21:34 |
| jdaf | wow, thanks GridCude! using gnome-disk-utility you can format a drive and encrypt | 21:58 |
| jdaf | although the entry does say that using some of the cmd line options is more secure | 21:58 |
| jdaf | i'll investigate that one a little later | 21:58 |
| jdaf | but you saved me from fiddling all evening | 21:58 |
| jdaf | thanks! | 21:58 |
