Obviously the window manager wasn't loading [00:15] Not sure if that's a bug I can submit. It's replicable, but I suppose somebody would want to see a stacktrace [00:15] and I don't know where to look for the logs [00:22] Any reason why Xubuntu on Dell Mini 1018 with Synaptics touchpad/driver would be sending spurious middle clicks? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang === unit193_ is now known as TheDrums === jrgifford_ is now known as jrgifford === holstein_ is now known as holstein [03:18] hi i neeed some assistance! === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === astraljava1 is now known as astraljava === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === zmoylan1 is now known as zmoylan [06:55] !panels [06:55] Did your panels disappear?

See http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/howto-set-a-background-image-for-your-panel/ [06:56] I just used xkill on the taskbar on accident.... how do I get taskbars back? [06:56] see above [06:56] oh hi [06:56] bazhang: psychic :o [06:56] chelz, or in another channel :) [06:56] Ding! fixed [06:56] Thanks [07:25] * Marzata blue-tooth applet crashed again... [07:57] upgraded to 4.10, i have 2 issues [07:57] how do i make compiz start up automatically again [07:57] and why are all my panel items aligned to the left? [07:58] 4.10? [07:58] the ppa for xfce4.10? [07:58] yes [07:58] contact the ppa maintainer [07:59] was hoping someone here would know these things [07:59] since ppa are not supported, contact the maintainer, file bugs [08:04] Jonne_: regarding the panels on the left, i think you just need to enable some "auto expand" option/separator (which really should be the default) [08:05] it's just a matter of bad defaults [08:06] adding the seperator worked [08:06] tnx [08:06] also, between 4.8 and 4.10, the "window buttons" applet no longer auto-expands [08:07] it really isn't supposed to...that's what the separator is for [08:07] so with 4.10 you have more control [08:07] control over spacing and such [08:07] the compiz thing is weird, it's in my automatic startup thing, but it starts without window decorations (or anything, really) [08:07] i can get around this easily by just starting compiz myself [08:08] just wondering what the 'proper' way is [08:08] Jonne_: what exactly did you add to the auto start? [08:09] i think you just need to add the compiz tray icon [08:10] compiz --replace [08:28] Jonne_: if you want to do it that way, i think you need to just start the "fusion-icon" [08:29] but that first loads xfwm, then compiz (but you only need compiz) [08:29] i don't care how it's done, as long as it works :p [08:29] basically it's just slower [08:29] you could do it this way too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz#Xfce_autostart_.28without_.22fusion-icon.22.29 [08:29] i'll try fusion-icon [08:30] that's how i did it (with fusion-icon) [08:30] i never restarted my computer, so it didn't matter much [08:46] i apparently already have the xfce4-session.xml set up as mentioned in the wiki, doesn't seem to do anything [08:47] did fusion-icon work? [08:48] haven't restarted yet [08:48] i'll see tomorrow :p [08:49] you actually do want the compiz features, right? otherwise, you get some compositing from xfwm natively [08:49] like drop shadows [08:50] yeah, i use the opacity thing a lot when slicing websites [08:50] and wobbly windows :p [08:50] oh got, not wobbly windows [08:50] and the switcher [08:51] *scale plugin [08:51] i could live without the wobbly windows, but the opacity and scale thing is essential to me [09:41] just out of curiosity, why does wine install want to remove my debhelper and some other packages [09:46] laite: maybe bad packaging?- [09:48] I have debhelper and wine installed, no hacks or workarounds. [09:49] yeah, i can't see where/why the two would conflict (also had them installed side-by-side a few times) [10:51] I have a weird problem with my keyboard layout. The escape key doesn't work anymore. [10:52] Does anybody have an idea on how to fix or debug this? [11:31] hi everyone!

[19:44] @midnight is not predefined value? try @daily [19:44] or just 0 0 * * * [19:45] I didn't understand what man 5 crontab meant about asterisks being "first-last". [19:45] That phrase didn't mean anything to me for some reason. [19:47] xwalk_, that means it means "any value for this column" [19:47] xwalk_, eg. for months, * is 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and ... 12 [19:48] xwalk_, (like a normal "wildcard") [19:48] Hi all [19:48] hello Liquidedge [19:49] I'm trying to do a fresh install but it seems that I can't get too far.

[19:51] You could try a few alternate boot options, or use the alternate install CD. [19:54] Unit193: Which alternate boot options do you recommend? nomodeset? [19:54] knome: Just tried the live session, made it reboot. [19:57] knome: Oh, okay. That makes much more sense.
