MaccerAny MintMenu users? I installed raring, and MintMenu doesn't want to launch any applications except for the ones under Places and System.02:20
holsteinMaccer: raring? you mean 13.04?02:22
MaccerCorrect holstein.02:23
holsteinMaccer: i thought mintmenu was mint only.. do you have ubuntu or mint?02:24
MaccerUbuntu. I'm using a mint repository to get mintmenu though.02:25
holsteinMaccer: you are using a few things that i wouldnt.. a PPA, and the development release.. that is, i wouldnt use either of those if stability were a goal02:25
MaccerI had to.02:25
MaccerBut I'm not looking for debian or corporate stability, so I don't care or mind.02:26
holsteinMaccer: nah.. you dont have to.. anyways, unfortunately, theres not much we can do to support the PPA package.. you'll need to ask the ppa maintainer.. and ask about 13.04 in #ubuntu+102:26
MaccerActually it's not even a PPA, it's straight off their repository package.02:27
holsteinMaccer: sure, but "they" are who maintain it.. not us, unfortunately02:27
Maccerholstein: XFCE has a good amount of MintMenu users. I ask here because I have a chance of finding some one else.02:28
holsteinMaccer: cool.. this is not where to ask though, since its not a xubuntu package.. you'd be better asking in the mint channels on spotchat02:29

zeroth_Curious to know myself..I read that on the ubuntu forums by the way13:21
knome15:19  knome: suleyman, at the moment, we're not taking donations, but you can  direct the money to the xfce project, from which we directly benefit13:22

xfcecannot change /media permission , any help ? as user just give me "read only" 12.04LTS14:10
xfceeven with "gksu thunar"14:11
zeroth_the usb headphones were set to input so I changed to stereo output and they fired up and the mouse released so I was able to use it. Odd issue but simple in a way14:11

duelleHi there, I am having graphical problems for a few weeks now and I don't really now how to tackle them. Here's an example: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/248/screenshotqww.png/15:30
TheSheepduelle: that's sub-pixel font rendering15:30
duelleTheSheep: So it is meant to look like that?15:31
TheSheepgo to settings, appearance, fonts and in the 'sub-pixel order' select 'none'15:31
TheSheepduelle: it's a trick to make the fonts look more smooth on an LCD screen, but that only works if the order of the subpixels matches15:31
TheSheepduelle: yours apparently doesn't, so either change it to the right order, or disable alltogether15:32
duelleTheSheep: Thanks a lot for that hint :) Worked like a charm^^ Looks much better now15:32
TheSheepglad to be of help15:33
duelleI'll look whether I can test the "right" order or keep it disabled at all. Thank you :)15:33
duelleSeems as if none of those settings match with my LCD screen .. so i'll keep it disabled15:35

drcWhat is the difference between the iso's on 1) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/precise/daily-live/current/ and 2) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/12.04.2/release/  ?16:22
knomedrc, the latter is a snapshot from a specific day that's guaranteed to work.16:27
drcSo, the -daily iso is basically a pre-release 12.04.3-daily ?16:30
knomeit is the "development version" of 12.04.3, yes.16:30
drcInteresting, I never knew there was this series of iso's...thanks16:31
knomethose aren't meant for production, that's why there's no big fuss about them16:32
