| maven | Hi I | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| maven | I am using xubuntu 12.04.2 now. And there are two panels by default. The panel1(contains the application menu) is positioned at the top of the screen . Any idea to move it to the bottom? | 00:06 |
| GridCube | maven, right clic >panel >panel settings: uncheck block panel, drag panel from the borders to the bottom, left, right, or middle of the screen, block it again | 00:12 |
| maven | GridCube, It worked. Thank you. | 00:17 |
| GridCube | maven, :D you are welcome | 00:17 |
| maven | BTW, I have some new fonts to be installed. I copy them (*.ttf) to the ~/.fonts. But it seems that this does not work. Did I miss anything? | 00:18 |
| GridCube | no, that should work | 00:18 |
| maven | I have tried to logout and login again. But when I try to set the font in the terminal. I can find the added fonts in the font select dialog. | 00:20 |
| GridCube | what do you mean by "set the font in the terminal"? | 00:21 |
| GridCube | fonts in the terminal works differently | 00:21 |
| GridCube | well, http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/fonts2.html | 00:22 |
| maven | Edit-Preference At the appearance tab. I can not set the font. | 00:22 |
| GridCube | well, i can, try using the guest session and see if you add a new font to it if it will work, if it does you have some missconfiguration somewhere | 00:24 |
| maven | Thanks, I will have a try. | 00:25 |
| pleia2 | they probably need to run: fc-cache -f | 00:30 |
| maven | It works after a reboot. :) | 00:32 |
| GridCube | :3 | 00:33 |
| maven | :(. The new fonts appeared in the font select dialog. But when I select it. I got unreadable characters in the preview window. http://snag.gy/eE97w.jpg | 00:41 |
| GridCube | its a broken font probably, consolas ain't a free font | 00:42 |
| maven | shame | 00:45 |
| maven | Hi can I set the dimension of the Terminal ? | 01:52 |
| GridCube | maven, man xfce4-terminal | 01:52 |
| maven | I know I can use the `xfce-terminal --geometry=140x25` to open the terminal with a specified size. However this just works for a launcher. And there are several methods to open a terminal like `Application-accessories-terminal` or `open terminal here(context menu)`. How to make the geometry works for all the teriminal window? | 01:58 |
| maven | Done. Modify the file `~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc` | 02:54 |
| Noskcaj | the 13.04 release is nearly here. if anyone is willing to helo the testing team let me know and i will help you join | 06:38 |
| Noskcaj | *help | 06:38 |
| koka | hi, I need install wifi drivers, I had dowloaded realtek drivers and I have a file named install.sh I tried to type in the terminal sh install.sh but show an error | 07:14 |
| moetunes | koka: what's the error? | 07:21 |
| Gumby | koka: try either chmod +x install.sh; ./install.sh OR try sh install.sh | 07:24 |
| Gumby | although as moetunes suggests, let the channel know the error :) | 07:25 |
| bigal | I am having issues with a fresh install of 12.10 | 07:55 |
| bigal | when partitioning hd there is not the option "physical volume for RAID". How comes? | 07:56 |
| xubuntu504 | *tips hat* | 07:56 |
| xubuntu504 | needs to be the physical HD cant be a partition on a HD | 07:58 |
| bigal | thanks. I agree, but I am in front of the installation screen (no more alt install since 12.10). I have 2 empty identical hd... | 08:00 |
| bigal | the only option I have here in the graphical installation (in 12.10, but not in 12.04) is "new partition table" | 08:00 |
| bigal | I am selection the whole disk | 08:00 |
| bigal | for a partition and then I am adding the fs type dimensione etc... | 08:00 |
| bigal | and there in the list of fs type there should be "physical volume for RAID" but there is not... mumble mumble... | 08:01 |
| MCHammer | hey there | 08:48 |
| cfhowlett | MCHammer, yo | 08:48 |
| MCHammer | i've got a problem with my application-preferences. in some programs i always need to start it with sudo to save preferences (i.e. sublime-text). another issue is, that positions of applications aren't saved on the workspace they where. after a restart everything is messed up (this somehow gets influenced by direct shutdown or logging out first) | 08:51 |
| MCHammer | can anybody help me with that? | 08:51 |
| MCHammer | i guess i have to add some groups/rights to my user, but i'm into that stuff :/ | 08:54 |
| MCHammer | +not | 08:54 |
| === azeam_afk is now known as azeam | ||
| MCHammer | i guess i could make my user a sudo-user (do i have your attention now? ;) ) | 09:56 |
| knome | MCHammer, blackmailing is not appropriate. besides, adding your user to the sudo group is fine. | 09:57 |
| francach | Hi, I'm new to xubuntu and I'd like to use a umts stick modem. Is there a application I can use for this? | 10:08 |
| xubuntu736 | hi | 10:25 |
| baizon | hi | 10:26 |
| jcfp | francach: normal network config has a 'mobile broadband' section | 10:53 |
| francach | Hi, thnx for the reply. The thing is the modem is not automatically seen like it would be under windows. So I don't know how to tell the system to configure and run the modem for an internet connection. | 11:21 |
| MCHammer | knome, do you understand concept of smileys? | 11:29 |
| knome | MCHammer, yes. | 11:29 |
| MCHammer | you're not good with humans, eh? | 11:32 |
| bazhang | MCHammer, this is the support channel | 11:37 |
| knome | MCHammer, unless you can ask for support without joking about things that might severly break your (or other peoples system), i'd advise you to seek support from other channels | 11:37 |
| knome | or other mediums, like forums or askubuntu. i'm sure the jokes in question aren't tolerated in them either | 11:38 |
| jcfp | francach: depends on the device, some need extra software such as wader-core before they are recognised | 11:49 |
| jcfp | francach: what device are you using (lsusb output?) | 11:54 |

| GridCube | if you could connect the drive to your other computer, and use the installers there to load the system and then move it back to your main computer | 14:29 |
| GridCube | for example | 14:29 |

| cha0s | Hey all! I checked this out: http://wiki.xfce.org/dev/howto/panel_plugins and I was hoping maybe someone could point me towards something easier if I wanted to write a custom panel item? ;) | 16:28 |
| cha0s | Or is that all we have at the moment? | 16:28 |
| cha0s | What I would really love is a JavaScript API for hacking these things quickly, if one doesn't exist I might consider throwing something together | 16:30 |
| baizon | cha0s: xfce panel are written in C and GTK2 | 16:30 |
| baizon | you cant write it in JavaScript | 16:30 |
| cha0s | baizon, well we can use V8, and I'd think (though I'm not sure) that you could probably use C++/GTK | 16:30 |
| baizon | cha0s: http://wiki.xfce.org/dev/howto/panel_plugins | 16:31 |
| cha0s | baizon, I linked that originally! I am aware of that API ;) | 16:31 |
| baizon | ou ok | 16:31 |
| baizon | sorry didnt saw that | 16:31 |
| baizon | GTK isnt C++, its C | 16:31 |
| cha0s | I was wondering if anyone knew of any work built on this API to make hacking them easier/faster | 16:31 |
| baizon | cha0s: the best channel for this question would be #xfce-dev | 16:32 |
| cha0s | baizon, thanks I will pay a visit :) | 16:32 |
| baizon | there are all xfce devs, so they should help | 16:32 |
| baizon | no problem | 16:32 |
