| longbongolungfis | hey all. came in with a simple question in regard to gtk3 apps like gedit and synaptic. namely, is there a way to configure the tooltip delay in gtk3 apps, like how it can be configured in gtk2 apps by placing for example "gtk-tooltip-timeout = 1800" in .gtkrc-2.0 in the home directory. | 00:21 |
|---|---|---|
| longbongolungfis | i ask because gtk3 apps act a little weird in xfce, and it would be nice to have control over them in the same way i have over gtk2 apps. | 00:23 |
| cubed_root | just discovered gnome, be curious why people prefer xubuntu over gnome (before i try installing on my main laptop) | 01:53 |
| ethermonk | different strokes for different folks | 01:54 |
| Unit193 | Pretty much. I'm one that can't stand the "new and improved" interface styles. | 01:56 |
| cubed_root | i have to try gnome a bit more, but i really like it | 01:56 |
| cubed_root | but didn't like unity for some reason | 01:56 |
| cubed_root | i love all the options that linux gives you, just awesome | 01:56 |
| ethermonk | gnome is the nicest of the "new and improved" managers | 01:57 |
| ethermonk | but i still prefer xfce | 01:57 |
| Unit193 | Yes, awesomewm is an option too. ;) | 01:57 |
| Unit193 | !info awesomewm | 01:57 |
| ubottu | Package awesomewm does not exist in saucy | 01:57 |
| Unit193 | !info awesome | 01:57 |

| xy86 | im using the greybird theme on arch...and the right click menus seem strangely out of place with lighter backgrounds and a lighter blue highlighting | 01:59 |
| xy86 | is that what the defaul xubuntu theme is like as well? | 01:59 |
| Unit193 | xy86: I'd presume GTK3.10 and latest Greybird release? | 02:00 |
| xy86 | Unit193: it is a user-made package on aur | 02:01 |
| xy86 | im not positive | 02:01 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, figured as much. | 02:01 |
| xy86 | im mainly wondering what the default xubuntu theme looks like, because as i understand it is grebird | 02:01 |
| Unit193 | That it is. | 02:01 |
| xy86 | and it has the lighter blue and lighter backgrounds on the menus? | 02:02 |
| Unit193 | White backgrounds, light blue selection with white text. | 02:03 |
| xy86 | okay | 02:03 |
| xy86 | that show mine is | 02:03 |
| Unit193 | Problem? | 02:03 |
| xy86 | Unit193: do you mind telling me what the alpha on the top and bottom panels are? | 02:03 |
| xy86 | Unit193: not really a problem is just seemed slightly out of place compared to the darker grey used for title bars and such....just wanted to make sure my copy wasnt screwed up | 02:03 |
| Unit193 | Top: 0 Bottom: 15 | 02:04 |
| Unit193 | xy86: You did select it both in appearance and window manager? | 02:04 |
| xy86 | Unit193: i did...one more thing if you dont mind | 02:07 |
| xy86 | Unit193: how many pixels tall are your top/bottom panels? | 02:08 |
| Unit193 | 24, 46. You can also check the files under /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu in the xubuntu-default-settings package on launchpad. | 02:09 |
| xy86 | Unit193: Ok....thanks for your help | 02:09 |
| Unit193 | (If you need to reference it later or something.) Trusty drops the lower panel and adds alpha to the top, with whiskermenu. | 02:09 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 02:09 |
| Unit193 | (Also, the theme was created by the Shimmer Project, which has a channel here too if you're looking to give feedback.) | 02:10 |
| xy86 | good to know | 02:11 |

| pop1 | very long | 07:15 |
| pop1 | i suppose that on the installed disk i'll find an icon " install xubuntu..." ? | 07:16 |
| ethermonk | yup. always double check the grub install path. it usually picks wrong when you install from USB to USB | 07:17 |
| ethermonk | no. once installed onto the USB, Xubuntu will run as it would on a hard drive (just slower) | 07:17 |
| pop1 | i better install a remastersys | 07:20 |
| ethermonk | i use Redo Backup and Restore | 07:20 |

| peyam | http://askubuntu.com/questions/90897/menu-editor-in-xubuntu-not-alacarte | 09:28 |
| bazhang | so whats the issue | 09:28 |
| peyam | the issue is that main menu is not working in xubuntu13.10 | 09:29 |
| peyam | och menulibre is not available for it either | 09:30 |
| bazhang | that doesnt make sense | 09:30 |
| peyam | lxde menu editor is not making categories | 09:30 |
| bazhang | it does not exist, so it cannot work | 09:30 |
| peyam | I know. that's why im confused | 09:30 |
| peyam | what does not exist? | 09:30 |
| bazhang | menulibre for 13.10 | 09:30 |
| peyam | :) | 09:31 |
| peyam | I know | 09:31 |
| peyam | I mean i tried to install it but it's not available | 09:31 |
| bazhang | so why are you saying thats a problem | 09:31 |
| peyam | it is a problem since there is not a simple way to modify the main menu in 13.10 | 09:31 |

| serranellus | hi, guys! Are you all xubunters? | 10:15 |
| serranellus | May I ask you about video codecs on Xubuntu? | 10:16 |

| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 10:16 |
| bazhang | xubuntu-restricted-extras should provide most of that | 10:17 |
| serranellus | Thx! I whish to know how to solve an issue about the lack of avi support on my Xubuntu system. I have read many posts about it, but they weren't resolutives. xubuntu-restricted-extras are already installed; I noticed that libavdevice53 is not compatible with libavdevice-extras-53. I have installed DeVeDe together with libavdevice-extras-53, then uninstalled libavdevice-extras-53 and replaced it with libavdevide53. I installed and uninstall | 10:25 |
| serranellus | ed winff, mplayer-gui, vlc and parole. No changes: the avi are played without video every time. | 10:25 |
| bazhang | did you install the xubuntu-restricted-extras package | 10:26 |
| serranellus | yes | 10:26 |
| bazhang | do you have some PPA in there that cause conflicts | 10:27 |
| serranellus | I didn't add manually any other sources | 10:27 |
| bazhang | please pastebin your sources.list | 10:27 |
| serranellus | can't I paste it here? How to use pastebin? | 10:30 |
| bazhang | go to the website paste.ubuntu.com | 10:31 |
| serranellus | kk | 10:31 |
| bazhang | enter the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list there, save, and give us the url | 10:31 |
| serranellus | ok, but maybe we could avoid the process. I understood who was the responsable... | 10:32 |
| serranellus | https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/commercial-ppa-uploaders/master-pdf-editor/ubuntu | 10:32 |
| serranellus | I found this ppa automatically added by the software center | 10:33 |
| bazhang | no ppa are "added automatically" | 10:34 |
| cfhowlett | ppa has to be authorized | 10:34 |
| bazhang | ppa-purge it , then lets proceed | 10:34 |
| bazhang | !ppa-purge | serranellus | 10:35 |
| ubottu | serranellus: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 10:35 |
| serranellus | Yes, I know only that I choosed "Reinstall previous purchases" in Software Center | 10:35 |
| serranellus | And reinstalled this bloody Pdf Master, so its ppa was "automatically added"... | 10:36 |
| bazhang | nonetheless, purge, then lets proceed | 10:36 |
| serranellus | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6981026/ | 10:39 |
| bazhang | was the ppa-purge successful? | 10:39 |
| serranellus | It's funny to add a ppa to purge all ppa! Do I have to proceed or may I just edit my list? | 10:40 |
| serranellus | Ah, ok. the site was for further infos... sorry | 10:40 |
| serranellus | I'm ready: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6981059/ | 10:46 |
| serranellus | Is it purged, bazhang? | 10:47 |
| serranellus | Now I have to go to the work. "See" you later, thanks till here for your kind attention | 11:00 |
| p00l3 | what is the current situation on linux flash and java security holes? is there something i need worry about? | 11:10 |
| cfhowlett | p00l3, don't use flash or java and no issues. | 11:10 |
| Sysi | java is pretty secure if you don't use it in browser, flash should be pretty safe, especially in chrome | 11:12 |
| p00l3 | cfhowlett sometimes i need flash. i use html5 for youtube and vimeo but online streams@youtube are available only in flash. | 11:14 |
| cfhowlett | p00l3, I'd have to agree with sysi. that said, I've never detected a breach. I run ubuntustudio 12.04 LTS and I've enabled my firewall. no other protective measures ... | 11:15 |
| p00l3 | i dont remember when i used java last time. wasnt there some office programs dependence at java? | 11:16 |
| cfhowlett | p00l3, not libreoffice ... | 11:16 |
| p00l3 | i normally install restriced-extras and addons packages but i cant install them without java? | 11:19 |
| cfhowlett | p00l3, or you can install the restricted-extras then purge java | 11:20 |
| p00l3 | ok | 11:20 |
| Sysi | or just check what would restricted-extras pull in and install what you want | 11:20 |
| Sysi | or as mentioned, disable java from your browser, it's quite safe otherly | 11:20 |

| knome | newbie36, if you downloaded the latest version, it won't fit a CD, you'll need to use a DVD | 18:49 |
| newbie36 | yes dvd , i have win 8 preview on the computer and i put in the usb but cant get it to load/start install. I try to boot from usb but there is no option for that | 18:50 |
| knome | newbie36, then your BIOS doesn't either support that, or you need to have the USB drive inserted, or the USB device is shown under hard drives | 18:51 |
| newbie36 | hmm wierd I tried now to update bios , gives a message saying , no update needed... | 18:52 |
| newbie36 | so i guess dvd it is. | 18:52 |
