XifanieMy keyboard layout changed on its own :S and I can't figure out how to change it back, help?01:44

|Glitch|or alt+shift, or ctrl+space idk01:46

XifanieWell good thing, I found keyboard/layout in the seetings manager. Bad thing is I'm messing with it and can't get my keys working back to normal01:54
Xifaniewell, after changing it, logging out/in it worked. Seems like the whole issue came from me accidentally logging out, then shutting down.01:56

GrandCouillonHello guys ! I am new on Xunbuntu (I previously used Ubuntu) and I have two problems with the desktop. 1) The Application menu editor doesn't seem to work. 2) After each reboot the desktop icons are moved to put the personal folder and trash in the top left corner. I've searched around to find a solution ... Any idea ?09:04

hairy_Is there any particular log file I shuld be looking for?09:13
GrandCouillonbaizon, On my desktop I have icons (launchers, videos ...) and the icons of personal folder and trash. I like to have the last two ones in the bottom right corner and put something else in the top left one. Each time I restart my system the personal folder and trash icons are "automatically" moved in the top left corner.09:13
GrandCouillonAnother question : does anyone know if "paroles" will support lirc devices ?09:28
nikolamDoe anyone knows why output redirection in shell does not work:  service --status-all | less   does not stop display and let me see output...10:22
nikolamalso would like to stop X.org and I see there is no gdm now in 12.04?10:23
nikolamOh, i see, lightdm is used now10:24
nikolampstree command helped me10:24
GrandCouillonnikolam, It seems that "service" sends its output to stderr. Use "service --status-all 2>&1 | less" instead.10:32
nikolamthanks GrandCouillon . it is unfortunate such small things like | less are broken now in ubuntu and need more options to work10:35
GrandCouillonBye Guys, have a nice day !10:37
xubuntu286Bonjour tout le monde, j'ai un petit problème avec les MediaKey sur mon portable. Je ne peux pas contrôler le volume ou le On/Off (peut-être suivant, pause, lecture, précédent aussi) du son avec mes MediaKey, or cela ne m'arrivait pas sous Ubuntu 12.04 (même problème sous Voyager 12.04 et 12.10). Avez-vous une petite idée?11:33
xubuntu286Hi guys, I've got a small trouble with my MediaKeys on my laptop. I can't control volume, switch on/off the sound with them. It works on Ubuntu 12.04 but neither on Voyager 12.04 and 12.10. Have you got some ideas?11:35
xubuntu286Voyager is based on Xubuntu and delivered by a french guy without forums (that's why I'm writting here). Sorry but I thought it was just an IRC for Voyager. Sorry for spamming you.11:38

knometjingboem, you can also press alt+f2 and run 'xfce4-settings-manager' without the quotes, and select appearance16:32
hhhzzzarnkome, i know how to do those basic things, I thought that you could force change the background of all application to another color. (not theme)16:34
knomehhhzzzarn, you can't unless you modify the theme16:35
kyle__I'm having trouble editng the menu in xubuntu.  I can open the editor, change things, etc, but it never saves the changes.16:35

phillips321hi guys, on xubuntu when i drag a window to top it fills top half of screen and the same for the bottom, like windows aero. Is there anyway i can get the windows to fill top left, top right and so on without installing compiz?17:16
kyle__ScorchedMuffin: so, downgrade alacarte, pin it in synaptic, and go?17:16
phillips321....surely xfce has this option hidden somewhere?17:16

submanI'm trying to setup an IRC server using the instructions found here http://www.the-tech-tutorial.com/?p=709 but I don't seem to be able to connect to the server.  I've gotten as far as installing the program and making sure that it is started.  On a client machine it resolves the address but says connection error17:18
Jef__Hi, may I ask?17:19
toraxgo ahead17:19
ScorchedMuffinkyle, are you in 12.10?17:20
kyle__ScorchedMuffin: Yes.17:21
Jef__I upgrade to xubuntu from 12.04 to 12.10, but did't like new Graybird colors. How do I downgrade the theme?17:21
ScorchedMuffinalright yep, that should fix it. what version is alacarte at currently17:22
kyle__3.5.5-0ubuntu117:23
ScorchedMuffinit should be something like 0.15.217:24
ScorchedMuffini think17:24
kyle__apt-cache show alacarte?17:25
ScorchedMuffinoh, I dunno. I do it in synaptic and just search for alacarte17:28
kyle__ScorchedMuffin: OK.  I'll try that.  Can you downgrade from synaptic, or do I need to grab a .deb file from an archive and do it manually?17:28
ScorchedMuffinyou need to grab the .deb file17:29
ScorchedMuffinI think somewhere around alacarte 0.13.2 is safe17:29
ScorchedMuffinalso I'm fairly new to irc, how do you do that thing where you addresss me?17:29
kyle__ScorchedMuffin: You type the person's nick, followed by a :  Or, if you're on a reasonable client, you start typing their nick, tab complete it/rotate through similar, then finish your response.17:30
kyle__irssi is a pretty fantastic client, though CLI, which some people still don't like.17:31
GridCubeScorchedMuffin, you type the first part of a nick and press tab17:31
ScorchedMuffinkyle__, Yay! thats really useful17:31
ScorchedMuffinthanks guys17:32
kyle__NP!17:32
GridCubeScorchedMuffin, you can do that on any terminal aswell to type command names17:32
GridCube!tab17:32
ubottuYou can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.17:32
ScorchedMuffinI knew I could do it in the terminal but I never knew about it in IRC17:33
ScorchedMuffinthats awesome17:33
kyle__I don't know if irssi/ircii use lib-readline, but most command line appications that are compiled with readline support tab completion, and history and history search using ctrl-r17:34
