| elfy | bah_: I doubt it's only you - you'll see the same question asked hundreds of times :) | 16:36 |
| elfy | bah_: but I try to use googlubuntu for search - it only searches *buntu resources - including wiki etc | 16:37 |
| bah_ | elfy, oh, I didn't know about googlubuntu ! will try that ! | 16:39 |
| bah_ | : ) | 16:39 |

| bah_ | anyway.... I want to change the keymap in the xubuntu terminal, done it before but forgot how ? | 16:42 |

| bah_ | the "right" serarch term ? | 16:43 |
| elfy | afraid not | 16:43 |
| elfy | I'd start with keymap - I'd not include xubuntu in the search though | 16:44 |
| bah_ | yea, I remember there is some settings I think in "all settings" that let you map diffrent applications by hover over the shortcut and then change it on the fly, anybody know this ? | 16:46 |
| bah_ | elfy, yes I don't know if this is a xfce future or a general linux desktop future | 16:48 |

| bah_ | SunilJoshi, don't you get some kind of message under the ""settings" tab in the "ubuntu 14.04 has experienced an internal error" window ? | 17:02 |
| bah_ | sorry ! *""settings" tab = "show Details" tab | 17:03 |
| SunilJoshi | yes, it shows executable path is /usr/bin/thunar | 17:04 |
| SunilJoshi | and lot more information, but i am not able to copy it from there :( | 17:04 |

| Morrog | how would i set up two user accounts (on xubuntu 13.10) and have them share the same firefox profile? | 17:21 |
| amigamagic | why you should share a firefox profile between two accounts? | 17:22 |
| genii | amigamagic: Could be useful on a kiosk type system, one is user one admin. | 17:23 |
| Morrog | one account is for daily internet stuff (using normal pulseaudio). my second one is related to audio production (using jack and alsa) | 17:24 |
| Morrog | but i want to have the same firefox profile | 17:25 |
| bah_ | I now been able to set my key-shortcuts for the Xubuntu terminal but I should also like to be able to jump to the beginning of a line and the beginning of a word using key-shortcuts, anybody know how to set that ? | 17:25 |
| bah_ | Morrog, sorry can't help | 17:26 |
| amigamagic | I don't think firefox has been designed to permit such a thing | 17:26 |
| amigamagic | firefox creates a profile for each user | 17:26 |
| Morrog | too bad | 17:27 |
| amigamagic | maybe you could try to copy the profile from an user account to another one. But you should create hard links | 17:27 |
| amigamagic | in this way, if you mod something in a dir, the mod will be reflected in the other account | 17:28 |
| bah_ | Morrog, can you not find the answer here ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1138477 | 17:28 |
| bah_ | amigamagic, I can't see why this should be a problem ? he just have to find the right path/permissions | 17:29 |
| Morrog | yeah, i think i don't have the right type of permissions | 17:29 |
| Morrog | i made a new group, put both users in there | 17:30 |
| Morrog | and made that firefox folder readable/writeable for both | 17:30 |
| Morrog | so i don't know what else i can do | 17:30 |
| genii | Conceivably, you could make a specific user which never logs in, put two other users and them in same group, link the non-login user's /home/name/.mozilla/firefox/abcdefgh.default into the directories of the two users which will be using the same profile | 17:30 |
| genii | I think you'd probably also need to change default startup of firefox to add --no-remote as well | 17:31 |
| Morrog | i'll try that | 17:31 |
| Morrog | thank you for the help so far :) | 17:31 |
| bah_ | yes, I should also try genii's suggestion | 17:32 |
| genii | Another alternative would to just rsync one user's abcdefgh.default directory contents over to the other and chown it, on some cron job | 17:36 |
| genii | Ah, they left. | 17:37 |
| bah_ | hi all, do anybody know how to change key-shortcuts for moving the cursor to the beginning/end of the line/word in terminal ? | 19:54 |
| TheSheep | you would need to look for how to customize bash | 19:55 |
| bah_ | the current keys are listed here "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal" under "Change the text", but I want to remap them | 19:56 |
| bah_ | TheSheep, you think so ? How can i do that ? | 19:57 |
| TheSheep | google? | 19:58 |
| TheSheep | http://www.humbug.in/2010/custom-key-bindings-keyboard-shortcuts-in-bash/ | 19:58 |
| bah_ | TheSheep, are there no GUI for setting this in the terminal emulator that come with xubuntu ? In OSX/ITerm2 you have a GUI for this. | 20:06 |
| hmagoo | volker, do you mean another window with google.com or the original window? | 20:07 |
| TheSheep | bah_: no, bash is not a gui program | 20:08 |
| TheSheep | bah_: it would make no sense to have gui for it | 20:09 |
| bah_ | TheSheep, so you say that the shortcuts in the link I provided are set using bash ? do you know where the config file for this is located, I can't find any info google | 20:12 |
| bah_ | TheSheep, (the grep command in the link you provided don't return anything on my system) | 20:13 |
| David-A | bah_: bash use inputline to for interactive command line editing. it can be configured with the bind commands in bash itself, or in the ~/.inputrc config file. you can define or re-define keys for beginning-of-line and end-of-line | 20:14 |
| David-A | bah_: see "man bash" | 20:14 |
| David-A | bah_: (the grep command on the page at humbug.in is not supposed to be executed by the reader. it is an example of a long command and how to define a key that helps typing it.) | 20:20 |
| bah_ | David-A, thanks a lot, I think i solved it | 20:20 |
| bah_ | are looking at "/etc/inputrc" for the moment and it seems the shortcuts are defined there : ) | 20:21 |
| David-A | bah_: yea, but only a handful of them. they are system wide defaults that was not provided by default in readline itself, i suppose. | 20:24 |
| David-A | bah_: if you want to add more, or override defaults, you should do it in ~/.inputrc, not in /etc/inputrc. (or add bind commands in ~/.bashrc) | 20:25 |

| === repsol is now known as adrenaline_ | ||
| bah_ | David-A, ls | 20:55 |
| bah_ | David-A, sorry, that should been in the terminal : ), anyway I still struggling with mapping the keys and your suggestions, will be back later : ) | 20:57 |
| David-A | bah_: when you have updated ~/.bashrc you may need to re-read it. i recall somewhere it says it rereads automatically but you may need to do ctrl-c ctrl-r, or start a new bash. | 20:59 |
| David-A | bah_: if you make "bind" commands in ~/.bashrc you only have to issue the same commands in a terminal to test it there. | 20:59 |
| bah_ | David-A, that was a good tip, thanks | 21:01 |
| volker | hmagoo: no, the google window name that is shown in the window buttons panel | 21:18 |
| hmagoo | volker, if I launch a chromium link from here it joins the existing window on the other workspace and switches focus to that workspace. but if I launch chromium it opens a new window on this workspace. | 21:23 |
| volker | hmagoo: no, you need to have the chromium window already open. Then you switch the workspace and open a new window (e.g. via command line) and you jump there or get the blinking etc. You can disable to jump there automatically, you should be able to disable the blinking from other workspaces, but it does not seem to work for me in 14.04 | 21:27 |
| starrats | I use 4 workspaces, set up that way, one for each window. Firefox, Thunderbird, hexchat/weechat(depending on my mood) and the last workspace remains open for terminal or any other app I might use. | 21:31 |

| cubed_root | i installed xubuntu 13 on a new partition (i have windows 7 and xubuntu 14 on their own partitions as well) | 23:31 |
| cubed_root | do i need to install grub on the new partition? | 23:31 |
| David-A | cubed_root: it depends how you have configured booting. normally installation of (x)ubuntu in a *partition* also installs grub in the boot record (mbr) of the *disk*, with a menu of all systems it found. | 23:38 |
| cubed_root | thanks David-A, that's what i was expecting, but when i boot i dont see my new installation | 23:41 |
| cubed_root | so i'm working on adding a script to grub using a tutorial i found | 23:42 |
| cubed_root | what i'm stuck on right now is where i should point that new menu option. the tutorial has "linux /boot/vmlinuz" & "initrd /boot/initrd.img" | 23:43 |
| cubed_root | oh, that's probably it is on my new partition, i think i'll try that | 23:44 |
| cubed_root | (that's probably *what* it is) | 23:44 |
| David-A | cubed_root: if you didn't disable or change grub install during the installation, there should be a command to re-scan the disk for systems and a command to re-install or update grub in the mbr. (maybe the same command with different options) | 23:44 |
| cubed_root | yes, tutorial mentions "update-grub" | 23:45 |
| cubed_root | i should run this before i start mucking with grub scripts? | 23:46 |
| David-A | cubed_root: probably. (if your script and grub have different ideas about the boot process, you may have a maintainability headache after some future update) | 23:48 |
| David-A | cubed_root: (but if you know what you are doing, you can take control over grub and the (x)ubuntu default behaviour) | 23:49 |
| cubed_root | thanks David-A | 23:51 |
| cubed_root | update-grub did exactly what i wanted -- dug around and found my new partition and installation! | 23:53 |
| cubed_root | now to test if the grub menu is updated in reboot... | 23:53 |
