[00:08] okgracias [00:49] Hey can anyone help me with a custom live cd? I want to configure what the default settings will be for my desktop ( Panels/Wallpaper/Default Apps ) [00:50] !customcd [00:50] !costumcd [00:51] !customlivecd [00:51] Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [00:52] thanks ubottu but they don't say anything on xfce customization for live cds [00:53] its the same [00:53] gnome != xfce [00:54] live cd creation isn't my problem, customization of default settings for a live cd is [00:54] xubuntu831: That's not really a supported topic for this channel, but look under /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/ [00:55] thanks [00:56] thats perfect thanks [01:00] this happens to me quite a bit with xfce4-terminal in dropdown mode: does this happen to anyone else and is there a fix (or maybe just some insight I can follow)?: http://i.imgur.com/aPYEMP3.png The window accepts keyboard and mouse input, but it just is grey and blank. [01:44] my SD card reader isn't working, is there a way to restart it? [02:27] my Toshiba has several recovery partitions, how do I set those so that they don't show up on my desktop (but I still want my Windows partition to show)? [05:52] hey guys! I booted my machine up today and something happened [05:52] it is as if I am logged under a different user [05:52] settings are different (like, I had two workspaces, but only 1 is present) [05:53] it also says trash is empty while showing some files there [05:53] many windows do not have a tab and I cannot move them [05:54] in firefox I cannot click any menus, like Bookmarks. [05:54] Anything happened after some upgrade? [05:56] louigi, probably something wrong with that account [05:56] what xubuntu you are using? [05:57] xubuntu 12.04 [05:57] do you have pre-prepared alternative account on machine with administration rights? [05:57] when was the last time you update it? I also have 12,04.2 but 32 bit [05:58] no pre-prepared account [05:58] I also use 32 bit [05:58] it was updated yeterday [05:58] updates came in [05:58] and today there is a problem [05:58] can you make new one now? [05:58] sure. what should it be? [05:59] You have it under GUI: System>Users and Groups [05:59] man, I now cannot move windows - there are no handles [06:00] and I cannot access the menu - it is covered by another window [06:00] that means window manager is not working [06:00] ok, could access [06:00] what there? [06:01] try alt+f2 and run xfwm4 to start windows manager. [06:01] well make new account with administrative rights and log it with it next time [06:01] nikolam, WOW, FIXED THE ISSUE [06:02] sorry for caps [06:02] unintended [06:02] hm [06:02] well, you can also report a bug for package that wm is coming from [06:02] so the problem is that the window manager is not loaded at boot [06:02] also check if your xfce session is recorded on logout, so it don't behave like that again [06:03] if it happens every time, then might be something with user configuration [06:04] make new account anyway, log with it next time, then make YOUR new account login , logoff, and migrate all data you need from old user account [06:04] that way you will get default settings, new account and copied important data to a new one. [06:04] it is under /home/usernames [06:05] nikolam, thank you for info, will do that if it happens again [06:06] louigi, i suggest you disinfect you account like that and always have reserve admin account in that case and to report WM bug to see why it stopped working. [06:16] nikolam, will do! [06:17] thank you for your help! [07:35] Hi there, my Xubuntu usually works very fine, but sometimes there is a strange error. Especially when the processor is working very hard suddenly I can't move my mouse anymore (touchpad) and it seems, that the whole touchpad i used for scrolling. If I press Strg+Alt+F1 and then Strg+Alt+F7 everything works again. [08:11] What font does XUbuntu use as its system wide font? [09:01] can anyone else confirm this and make sure I'm not going crazy? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxfce4ui/+bug/1131044 [09:01] Launchpad bug 1131044 in libxfce4ui (Ubuntu) "Shortcuts such as Ctrl+F9 set but are unresponsive" [Undecided,Confirmed] [09:18] is it possible make xubuntu look like osx ? [09:23] john_rambo: partly yes [09:23] hello [09:23] !hi [09:23] Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! [09:24] ochosi, Can you tell me how ? [09:25] can I bookmark in gigolo for example /home/user ? which is already mounted, but I like to have an index to access all of my directories. [09:25] john_rambo: first off it depends on what aspects you want to look like osx. if it's just some simple visual aspects, google for a gtk-theme that looks like osx [09:25] pog: gigolo is mostly for managing remote bookmarks, why would you bookmark your home-dir there? [09:25] it seem's that nautilius can handle sshfs but it's not possible to bookmark. [09:26] ochosi, I want to get rid of the panels & add that floating panel [09:26] john_rambo: try docky or avant-window-navigator or cairodock [09:26] Okay [09:27] ochosi: I see the gigolo icon in the tray, so I thougt it would be practical (but I can live without this function). [09:27] ochosi, But what about the notification area? WIll it appear in avant ? [09:28] john_rambo: i guess so, haven't used that in a while myself [09:28] i can possibly add mein home it the tray. [09:29] i use tunar 1.2.3. as fm [09:30] I could try with nautilius, to be able to bookmark external files. [09:31] o.k thanks for the moment. [09:32] by the way I'm very happy with XFCE, much faster than other wm (on a low powered laptop). [09:34] pog: what version of xubuntu are you using? [09:43] hello [09:44] how can i use the powersaving-settings also while the electric cable of my notebook is plugged? [09:47] 12.04 [09:47] ochosi: 12.04 [09:48] I installed xfce after the installation [09:48] the fan is loud [09:48] when i unplug the electrical cable, running on battery [09:49] its slower [09:49] more silent [09:49] and colder [09:49] would be nice if it would be always in this mode [09:49] as im afraid that it's gonna burn everything [09:50] I had a applet o 10.04, where it was possible to control the cpu and i think also reduce the frequenzy. [09:50] nooooo: The fan wouldnt burn anything - check the temperature. [09:53] how to remove both panels ? [09:53] it's hot, thats why im afraid that it would burn. I'm running xubuntu since more than a year now and the fan will be dead some day... then the cpu gonna burn all up [09:54] im installin acpi now [09:57] how can i see hardware info in terminal? [09:58] How to remove both panels ? I have already removed 1 [09:59] lshw [09:59] john_rambo u dont want any panel anymore? [09:59] nooooo, No [10:00] ? [10:00] nooooo, No I dont want anymore panels [10:00] so only shell? [10:01] no graphic mouse clicking thing anymore? [10:01] nooooo, No ihave installed vanat window navigator I will use that [10:02] avant [10:03] sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop [10:03] Thats a meta package and will not remove any panels. [10:03] sudo apt-get autoremove # removes dependencies of xubuntu-desktop [10:03] nooooo, But that will remove the entire desktop ....I only want the panel to be removed [10:04] ok then i dont know [10:04] sorry [10:04] K [10:06] Hi! [10:22] hey everybody, i installed gedit however i can find its folder/plugin folder (~/.gnome2/gedit). any idea why that might be? [10:25] ChesterX: . means it is hidden, ctrl+h to show. [10:25] Unit193, i know. still couldn t find it [10:26] i have been using the program for some time now, but for some reason its not where it is supposed to be xD [10:27] Try locate gedit | grep $user-here [10:28] Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 doesn't have Gnome 2 in repos anymore. [10:28] the .gnome and .gnome2 folders appear in my tree but not this specific subfolder [10:31] alright, it seems like the gedit folder is within /usr/lib [10:34] ChesterX: i think you have to create that subfolder yourself [10:35] koegs, tried it and didn t work [10:35] all the plugins are in the aforementioned folder [10:38] ok, i thought you want to "install" a plugin yourself, then you would put it there [10:43] alright, using sudo & cp -R i finally managed to get the result i wanted. lets see whether it works [10:44] and it doesnt .... [10:44] = =" [10:45] btw, i m trying to install zencoding. any suggestions? [10:46] Google for "gedit 3 local plugin folder" :P [10:54] friking greatfirewall...

[11:01] yeah... luckily i wont stay here forever x-) [11:01] but it can be a pain in the ass [11:01] anywho, thanks for the tip [11:06] I didn't help much. [11:08] lets decide that once i got access to the content ;-) [12:58] hey fellas! I am on xubuntu 12.04 and on ASUS laptop. After yesterday's update (or so I think) my hardware buttons, which, for instance, can turn on and off the touchpad, stopped working [12:58] anything I can do about it?

Curious: What's the big difference between 13.04 and 12.10? [17:05] there won't be huge differences [17:06] a few default apps will be back by default [17:06] but that doesnt matter if you already have 12.10 installed [17:06] (read the release announcement ;)) [17:11] libreoffice will be back then? :V [17:33] libreoffice was never in [17:33] so nope === bipolar_ is now known as bipolar [17:47] Any idea why Xubuntu 12.04.1 is not spell checking?

[18:15] hi i've set autologin on xubuntu 12.10 and sometimes after get into desktop, trash bin and network link in thunar's side panel often missing. i had to logout and back in to get them back there. any idea why? [18:16] ninjahattori: try to clear the .cache folder [18:18] baizon, ty [18:21] ninjahattori: np [19:08] hello :) i am currently on xubuntu 12.10 and i'm looking forward to upgrading to 13.04 next month. i usually perform clean installs when upgrading, but i do not want to lose my current set up and applications. would it be safe to do an in-place upgrade? im a bit worried not only because it would be my first time doing so, but also because i have the xfce-4.12 ppa installed. is that going to be problematic? [19:10] QJT, backup. you'll most probably be fine. [19:11] QJT: I don't do in-place installs often, but I believe that if you try that, it will recognize the previous install and keep your /home where all your personal settings are stored. [19:11] yes, settings and files in /home are kept intact. unless something goes wrong, which is why you should always backup [19:12] QJT: manually installed packages and ppa:s will not be preserved. but if you remember/document what you have done you can relatively simply redo them [19:13] i believe ppa's are simply commented so it should be relatively easy to re-enable them [19:18] thank u so much for the replies, gentlemen :) i know i should have installed my /home on a seperate partition to make things easier when it came time to upgrade but i was lazy lol... i will follow the advice and back up /home before upgrading. it shouldnt be difficult to re enable the xfce-4.12 ppa, i just wanted to be sure it would not interfere with the upgrade process. [19:19] sorry dc. Settings > Users and Groups > Password > Don't ask for password on login doesn't seem to be working [19:39] QJT: when re-adding ppa:s, check if the new system need another version of that ppa [20:03] David-A: thats good advice. unfortunately, im not sure were to look to find out... could you give me some insight? [20:04] i was simply planning on un-checking them from my source list before upgrade, then re-check them after i upgrade... [20:05] i was not planning on completely removing them, simply disableing them so i wont have to re adding or re installing them... [20:06] PPa are disabled by default [20:06] QJT: could be a good idea to uncheck them before an "upgrade", but before a "re-install" the previous system is just over-written, so should not matter [20:06] check the PPA maintainer for a new version [20:08] Hi! I'm running 12.04 Precise on my laptop and trying to use nomachine's nx_client package to connect. I have set the server up properly. When I try to connect, it goes through the entire connect procedure. The large window pops up, but before the desktop shows up, the entire program kills itself. The server is Arch Linux with nomachine's freenx server package. HELP!!! [20:09] Oh - I'm also using xfce as the default desktop on the Arch machine. [20:14] thanks again for the replies, gentlemen :) i am not planning to re-install my system. im planning on doing an in-place upgrade and it was my understanding that my previous configuration will remain intact with my /home. there for upgrading should not over right my ppa source list... [20:14] they are disabled by default as I said QJT [20:19] bazhang: i see... thank you :) well, i think i've gathered enough info to help me with the upgrade next month. i really appreciate the help from all who have replied! im off to take care of some work, take care everyone :) === mnepton is now known as mneptok [22:29] hey guys! [22:30] looks like after an upgrade acpi stopped working - at least so I think [22:30] the button on the laptop which is responsible to switch the touchpad on and off stopped working [22:30] it worked before [22:30] xubuntu 12.04 [22:30] any advice? [22:55] My battery laptop icon is missing any idea? ( I still see the wireless, sound, bluetooth icons) [22:58] is xfce-power-manager running?
