satoru_So how would one go about altering the logon menu?08:24
knomealtering which way?08:25
satoru_Idk maybe adding a profile picture or changing the background?08:25
satoru_I am running xubuntu after about four months of arch so I am rusty08:26
satoru_too much pacman08:26
ochosibasically you can compile the latest version of lightdm-gtk-greeter and use that08:27
ochosiit has those features08:27
ochosibut you'll also need the latest version of our gtk-theme and icon-theme for it to really work08:27
ochosior you wait for the next release08:27
ochosiwhichever seems easier to you08:27
ochosisatoru_: ^08:27
satoru_Well shoot. That puts me in a pickle08:27
ochosior you try to use a different greeter08:27
satoru_LIke slim or lxdm?08:28
ochosi(unity-greeter, pantheon-greeter -> as long as you don't complain here if they don't work as expected)08:28
satoru_Meh.08:28
satoru_Oh08:28
satoru_Teehee08:28
ochosino, those are still lightdm08:28
satoru_Oh really?08:28
satoru_Cmnds to compile latest version?08:30
satoru_Oh but wait i would need the latest theme huh08:30
satoru_So it wont fully work08:31
ochosiwell it would work, but it would probably not look as good as it can08:32
satoru_Pantheon Greeter looks nice08:32
satoru_Are there bugs on xubuntu 12.1008:33
satoru_?08:33
knomeyes.08:34
satoru_Agh dependency issues already haha08:35
satoru_Guess that is a no08:35
satoru_That is a damn good login screen too.08:35
satoru_Guess I will just stick with what I have08:36
satoru_Although surely there is someway to change the background?08:36
ochosiyeah, edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf08:37
ochosithe background is set there08:37
satoru_Ok cool.08:38
satoru_Well I edited the config to my image and now it is just black08:53
satoru_Not sure why really08:53
satoru_I know for a fact the location is correct and I just edited the background08:53
ochosidid you use the absolute path or a relative one?08:59
ochosi(obviously the latter will not work)08:59
satoru_absolute09:01
ochosiyou can pastebin your .conf file, otherwise it's hard to help09:01
satoru_http://paste.ubuntu.com/5624717/09:04
satoru_There she is09:04
satoru_That was after I thought maybe it wasn't working because it was in home09:05
ochosiand the uppercase L is intentional in "Logon.png"?09:05
satoru_So I moved it to the location where the logon logo was found09:05
satoru_correct09:05
satoru_That is how the file is named.09:05
ochosik09:05
satoru_Should i do lowercase and see?09:06
ochosino, if that's the name of the file, that's ok09:06
ochosiyou can check /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log09:06
ochosior lightdm.log09:06
ochosimaybe there's something helpful there09:06
ochosiotherwise i can't help you, this is all you have to do09:07
satoru_Failed to open file '/usr/share/pixmaps/Logon.png': Permission denied09:07
satoru_Well that splains it09:07
ochosiyup09:08
satoru_Brb :P09:08
satoru_Indeed it worked. :)09:10
satoru_Thank you my fine sir.09:10
ochosinp, yw09:10
ajongood morning09:55
knomehello09:55
ajonmaybe someone here can enlighten me. how do u run a xubuntu session from the command line? startxfce4 gives me a plain xfce session09:56
knomeajon, why would you want/need to do that?09:56
TheSheepajon: edit the .dmrc file09:56
ajonx2go only has presets for gnome, kde, unity and others09:57
ajonif you want something else you have to provide a command to start that something else09:57
ajon.dmrc says xubuntu, but running startxfce4 seems to ignore that09:59
TheSheepthen I don't know10:01
ajonalso /usr/share/xsessions xubuntu.desktop and xfce.desktop both execute "startfxce4" which seems weird10:02

sayreswhat did ntwork manager use in xubuntu ?13:12
mmm_i can't burn 12.04.2 image to CD due to oversize ?13:12
mmm_has anyone got this problem b efore?13:12
knomemmm_, which image are you using?13:13
knomemmm_, and what size CD...13:13
mmm_amd6413:13
knomedesktop or alternate+13:14
knome?13:14
mmm_desktop13:14
knomethat should fit a standard 700MB disk with no problems.13:14
knomeare you using a smaller one perhaps?13:14
mmm_it says 707mb on the website but when i download it shows 741 mb on pcmanfm13:14
sayresbaizon: do you know what did network manager use in xubuntu ?13:14
mmm_knome: and then brasero won't burn it13:15
mmm_knome: i've tried several different CD-R13:15
mmm_I've burned with them before13:15
knomeactually it seems you are right, was looking at a wrong page13:16
koegssayres: what is your question? xubuntu does use the network manager...13:16
knomemmm_, it should fit though...13:16
mmm_knome: i've tried downloading it again and burn with irfranburner on win713:17
mmm_same problem13:17
mmm_;/13:17
knomethat's weird - i know we were in the limits, but i thought we made sure we didn't go over13:17
knomemmm_, if you can use the alternate image (don't need to check if hardware works or need to use the live session), that will surely fit13:18
mmm_knome: yeah i'm downloading that right now13:18
koegswhat about usb or dvd-r?13:18
sayreskoegs: when connect to internet that applet on top show you are connect to internet.13:19
mmm_but i stlil wants a desktop cd since i tend to keep it and install on different machines13:19
mmm_koegs: usb ?13:19
knomemmm_, can you confirm where you downloaded the image/which link?13:19
mmm_knome: http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Xubuntu/12.04/release/xubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso13:20
koegsmmm_: basically you can put the iso on a usb-stick and boot from there13:20
mmm_koegs: really13:20
mmm_how should i go about doing that13:21
koegsmmm_: if your computer is able to boot from usb, of course13:21
mmm_koegs: yes it can, but how do you burn the image to usb ?13:21
knomemmm_, okay, thanks. i'll look into it.13:21
mmm_knome: thanks13:22

marchDoes anyone know if there exists a bugreport for mouse buttons? I didn't find one but this doesn't mean something 'cause I'm not a native speaker and perhaps using the wrong keywords. My problem is the left mousebutton. It refuses to work on the first used mouse/touchpad used by Xubuntu. xfce4-setting are set correctly. xinput doesn't show something unusual.16:51
marchXubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 both 64bit16:52
SunStarxubuntu511, have you verified the hash on the ISO / install disk?16:52
SunStarmarch what kind of bug is happening?16:53
marchOnly the left mousebutton isn't working. Wheel and rmb are doing fine16:53
marchThis problem happens here on my Thinkpads touchpad (12.10/64bit) and on my Desktop-PC running 12.04/64bit. Here I'm using a trackball16:54
xubuntu511im using usb to boot the installation16:54
SunStarright xubuntu511 the ISO you downloaded could be currupt. have you verified the md5 hash?16:55
SunStarmarch, http://askubuntu.com/questions/184222/left-mouse-button-not-working-in-xubuntu-session16:56
marchThanks SunStar I'll give the ppa a chance16:57
xubuntu511no but im downloading another  iso so ill start everything over but what program should be used to usb booting?16:57
SunStari dont know of a good one for linux aside from unetbootin (not the most reliable, but seeing as how you got that far means it did its job)16:59
marchusb-creator-gtk and unetbootin17:00
SunStarmarch, only bug i found for mouse button not working at all happens only when working with java applications17:03
marchStrange. Just thought if it could be a problem with my Trackballs. Attaching them later doesn't solve the problem but mice always work as I wished.17:05
marchI'll create a bug report on launchpad.17:07
SunStari did see some "how to"s on getting trackball mice to work with ubuntu in a google search17:07
march046d:c404 Logitech, Inc. TrackMan Wheel didn't help too17:09
marchBut thanks for your help SunStar :)17:09
SunStarin the meantime you might try a google search for ubuntu <your mouse make & model>17:10
marchYes - I already did that but haven't found a solution so far.17:11
marchThreads like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1571714 appeared but the problem wasn't solved17:12
marchBut there seems to be a prolem with this kind of hardware17:14

mnasshi, where can i download xubuntu the fastest way - trying torrent from xubuntu.com but i needs 5 hours18:43

psil0cybinhey guys quick question my system monitor graph is being incorporated into my indicator plugin20:35
psil0cybinand moving my mail and volume icon to the left20:35
psil0cybinand it wont let me move it, how would i go about it20:36
psil0cybini went to the panel and no matter where i move it the indicator moves the graph too20:36
psil0cybinsorry this is all for the top panel20:48
David-Apsil0cybin: there are 2 competing systems for system icons in the panel. "notification" and "indicator".20:49
psil0cybinso what would i do here is my top bar in an image20:50
psil0cybinhttp://oi46.tinypic.com/2nm8hf.jpg20:50
David-Apsil0cybin: "notification" is more like winxp systray and "indicator" is newer20:50
psil0cybini want to move the audio and email button to the right side20:50
psil0cybinbut if i remove indicator20:50
psil0cybinit removes my icons20:50
David-Apsil0cybin: volume and network are normally in the indicator and can not be moved separetely. but20:50
psil0cybinso am i stuck with the volume button email button than graph then wifi etc20:51
David-Apsil0cybin: if you add the "mixer plugin" to the panel, the volum icon in the indicator will be hidden, and you can place the "mixer plugin" wherever you want.20:51
psil0cybini dont have a mixer plugin20:52
psil0cybini would have to download it ?20:52
psil0cybinand than what would i do with the email icon?20:53
psil0cybinsorry to throw this on u :( i did alot of googling20:53
psil0cybinand tried a bunch of things20:53
David-Apsil0cybin: see if package xfce4-mixer is installed? (in software center or synaptic or with apt-get)20:54
psil0cybinbut if i get the mixer than i cannot move the email icon as well20:54
CHIexHello, I am installing XUBUNTU20:54

psil0cybinalright thanks for your help21:00
psil0cybinthe second i quit the system monitor21:00
psil0cybinthe icons go to the right, but when i launch it, it goes back in the middle21:00
psil0cybinmaybe i can config some file?21:00
David-Apsil0cybin: by the way, what do you mean "download it"? if you mean "install it via a package manager" it is okay. do you mean "search the web and click download" it is not okay.21:01
psil0cybinno no deff not the web aha21:01
psil0cybinment as an addon21:01
psil0cybinlike not a default package21:01
psil0cybinsorry21:01
David-Apsil0cybin: say "install" a "package" and I'll be less nervous. promise?21:02
psil0cybindeal :)21:03
David-A:)21:03
psil0cybinthanks alot btw for getting back to be right away21:03
psil0cybinreally appreciate it21:03
psil0cybini will deff play around and post my solution if i find one :)21:03
psil0cybini just wish they would have that graph as a different plugin21:03
psil0cybinbecause the other monitor works, i can place it on either side of icons its just this one darn thing21:04
David-Apsil0cybin: sometimes programs have a settings if they shall show an icon i the "notification" area. see if there is such a setting for the "indicator" area. (about the network manager and/or system monitor)21:06
psil0cybinhow about if i just delete the indicator and get xfce4-netload-plugin21:12
psil0cybinit should have a panel icon21:12
psil0cybinbut i cannot find it21:12
psil0cybinholy21:14
psil0cybinrandomly the move worked and i was able to shift it to the right21:14
psil0cybingood enough for me21:14
psil0cybinlemme try a restart and c if it stays :)21:15
hmsckhow can i lock all icons on desktop?21:17
ochosihmsck: you mean in terms of their position?21:18
hmsckyes in their position..because sometimes they change it somehow...21:20
