[00:05] Hi I [00:06] 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? [00:12] 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 [00:17] GridCube, It worked. Thank you. [00:17] maven, :D you are welcome [00:18] 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] no, that should work [00:20] 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. [00:21] what do you mean by "set the font in the terminal"? [00:21] fonts in the terminal works differently [00:22] well, http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/fonts2.html [00:22] Edit-Preference At the appearance tab. I can not set the font. [00:24] 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 [00:25] Thanks, I will have a try. [00:30] they probably need to run: fc-cache -f [00:32] It works after a reboot. :) [00:33] :3 [00:41] :(. 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 [00:42] its a broken font probably, consolas ain't a free font [00:45] shame [01:52] Hi can I set the dimension of the Terminal ? [01:52] maven, man xfce4-terminal [01:58] 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? [02:54] Done. Modify the file `~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc` [06:38] 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] *help [07:14] 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 [07:21] koka: what's the error? [07:24] koka: try either chmod +x install.sh; ./install.sh OR try sh install.sh [07:25] although as moetunes suggests, let the channel know the error :) [07:55] I am having issues with a fresh install of 12.10 [07:56] when partitioning hd there is not the option "physical volume for RAID". How comes? [07:56] *tips hat* [07:58] needs to be the physical HD cant be a partition on a HD [08:00] 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] the only option I have here in the graphical installation (in 12.10, but not in 12.04) is "new partition table" [08:00] I am selection the whole disk [08:00] for a partition and then I am adding the fs type dimensione etc... [08:01] and there in the list of fs type there should be "physical volume for RAID" but there is not... mumble mumble... [08:48] hey there [08:48] MCHammer, yo [08:51] 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] can anybody help me with that? [08:54] i guess i have to add some groups/rights to my user, but i'm into that stuff :/ [08:54] +not === azeam_afk is now known as azeam [09:56] i guess i could make my user a sudo-user (do i have your attention now? ;) ) [09:57] MCHammer, blackmailing is not appropriate. besides, adding your user to the sudo group is fine. [10:08] 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? [10:25] hi [10:26] hi [10:53] francach: normal network config has a 'mobile broadband' section [11:21] 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. [11:29] knome, do you understand concept of smileys? [11:29] MCHammer, yes. [11:32] you're not good with humans, eh? [11:37] MCHammer, this is the support channel [11:37] 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 [11:38] or other mediums, like forums or askubuntu. i'm sure the jokes in question aren't tolerated in them either [11:49] francach: depends on the device, some need extra software such as wader-core before they are recognised [11:54] francach: what device are you using (lsusb output?) === azeam is now known as azeam_afk [13:29] hello world [13:29] can you help me with xubuntu installation?

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] Or is that all we have at the moment? [16:30] 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] cha0s: xfce panel are written in C and GTK2 [16:30] you cant write it in JavaScript [16:30] baizon, well we can use V8, and I'd think (though I'm not sure) that you could probably use C++/GTK [16:31] cha0s: http://wiki.xfce.org/dev/howto/panel_plugins [16:31] baizon, I linked that originally! I am aware of that API ;) [16:31] ou ok [16:31] sorry didnt saw that [16:31] GTK isnt C++, its C [16:31] I was wondering if anyone knew of any work built on this API to make hacking them easier/faster [16:32] cha0s: the best channel for this question would be #xfce-dev [16:32] baizon, thanks I will pay a visit :) [16:32] there are all xfce devs, so they should help [16:32] no problem [16:50] What could be the issue for when you scroll on any browser it leaves this line as scrolling?
