| xubuntu044 | Hi. Can I ask a really quick and kind of stupid question? | 02:43 |
|---|---|---|
| Poisoned_Dragon | yup | 02:43 |
| xubuntu044 | What do you call the gui file manager in xfce? | 02:44 |
| xubuntu044 | I've been in Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and now Xubuntu | 02:44 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | thunar | 02:45 |
| xubuntu044 | Theirs are dolphin and nautilus | 02:45 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | yup, in xfce it's thunar | 02:45 |
| xubuntu044 | Ah, thunar! Thanks! :) | 02:46 |
| hoho | hello, would anyone happen to know how to customise the login-screen of xubuntu 14.04 ? | 03:01 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | one sec | 03:02 |
| hoho | okay. | 03:02 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf | 03:03 |
| hoho | Yes, I did try that | 03:03 |
| hoho | But only certain changes are accepted. | 03:03 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | What are you trying to change? | 03:03 |
| hoho | the theme | 03:03 |
| hoho | I can change font size, but not the theme | 03:04 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | And you're editing the file with root privilege? | 03:04 |
| hoho | Yes | 03:04 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Are you putting your themes in /usr/share/themes? | 03:04 |
| hoho | I'll check... | 03:04 |
| hoho | yep | 03:06 |
| hoho | They are there | 03:06 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Then it must depend on the theme | 03:06 |
| hoho | Font size changes are accepted | 03:06 |
| hoho | Okay | 03:06 |
| hoho | I tried NOX and darklooks, but neither works... | 03:07 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | link me, so that I can see them. | 03:08 |
| hoho | Sorry, bit of beginner, how does one link? | 03:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I just wanted you to copy and paste me a link | 03:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | is it this? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ECSTATiCA+(formerly+NOX)?content=105349 | 03:09 |
| hoho | yes | 03:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | it only has gtk-2.0 in it's folder. | 03:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I dunno if lightdm uses that. | 03:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | The default theme, Greybird has other schemes. | 03:11 |
| hoho | Okay. Other schemes? How do I specify those? | 03:12 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I would try Adwaita, just to see if the theme changes. If it does, Then you'll know that you need a theme that has a scheme that lightdm can use. | 03:12 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | in the conf file | 03:12 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | You don't specify the scheme. The theme folder has to have it. | 03:12 |
| hoho | okay. I'll test it | 03:12 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I think lightdm might be gtk-3 now | 03:13 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Nox, doesn't have a scheme folder for that. | 03:13 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Chances are, the other theme you're testing won't either. | 03:13 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | wb | 03:22 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | So, what happened? | 03:22 |
| hoho | It worked! | 03:22 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Told ya | 03:22 |
| hoho | So why exactly? | 03:22 |
| hoho | gtk 2 vs. gtk 3 ? | 03:22 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | again, I don't think lightdm uses gtk-2 | 03:22 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | And Nox only has that folder in it's theme folder | 03:22 |
| hoho | I see. | 03:23 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Greybird and Adwaita have gtk-3 and other schemes. | 03:23 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | So, you'll have to experiment some. | 03:23 |
| hoho | Okay, so they are compatible with lightdm. | 03:23 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | yup | 03:23 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | After all, greybird is the default theme | 03:23 |
| hoho | True. | 03:23 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I would have to play with it myself, to be sure. | 03:24 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I dunno if it's a gtk-3 thing, or metacity, or what..... | 03:24 |
| hoho | Another question - can one change the language of the login? For a French system it still says 'log on". No big deal, just, well not français... | 03:24 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I just know that Nox won't work for lightdm | 03:24 |
| hoho | Okay no nox. Such a nice theme though... | 03:25 |
| hoho | I like Darklooks too. | 03:25 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Link me for darklooks | 03:25 |
| hoho | https://www.google.ca/search?q=darklooks+theme&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=2nl5U9f5I4ynyASX-YCoAQ&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=688 | 03:26 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I found it | 03:31 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | It's part of gnome extra themes | 03:31 |
| hoho | does that mean it won't work with lightdm? | 03:32 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | are you savvy with screenshots and image paste websites. | 03:32 |
| hoho | With instructions.... | 03:32 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I'd like to see the folder contents of Darklooks. | 03:32 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | wait... lemme just install the package. | 03:32 |
| hoho | Okay. | 03:32 |
| hoho | What OS are you using? | 03:33 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | xubuntu | 03:34 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I'm getting the package now. | 03:34 |
| hoho | Okay. I didn't come pre-installed? | 03:34 |
| hoho | *It | 03:34 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | nope | 03:35 |
| hoho | hmm | 03:36 |
| hoho | what release? | 03:36 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | 14.04 | 03:36 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | btw, Darklooks only has a gtk-2 folder. | 03:36 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Not lightdm compatible. | 03:36 |
| hoho | Okay. | 03:36 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | You could Always try MediterraneanDarkest. | 03:37 |
| hoho | Hmm. I'll take a look | 03:37 |
| hoho | Not pre-installed... | 03:38 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Nope. | 03:38 |
| hoho | Where did you grab Darklooks from? | 03:38 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Gotta get it from gnome looks | 03:38 |
| hoho | sudo apt-get ? | 03:38 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/?content=156782 | 03:39 |
| hoho | sudo extract the tar to themes? | 03:44 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I suppose you could do that. | 03:45 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I usually open the tar in archive manager and pick and choose. | 03:46 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Less to go wrong. | 03:46 |
| hoho | But doesn't the theme need to be under usr/share/themes/ to be used? | 03:47 |
| hoho | Thanks for your help! Bye. | 03:53 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | heh, guess he got it | 03:54 |

| gry | And what do I use to lock an xfce screen with lightdm? light-locker exists, but not in Ubuntu repos. | 11:44 |
| ochosi | gry: it does, from 14.04 onwards | 11:45 |
| gry | Okay, thanks. | 11:45 |
| ochosi | np | 11:45 |
| gry | I'm on 12.04 now, so I will try to update. | 11:45 |

| LonelyDanbo | My PlayStation 2 gamepad USB adapter seems to have mapped the controls to move my mouse cursor among other things, and I don't know what's doing this to unbind it. | 16:04 |
| LonelyDanbo | I'm pretty sure I didn't install anything for that. no search results in installed packages for gamepad or joystick | 16:05 |
| LonelyDanbo | It didn't do this in my Debian installation. | 16:06 |
| bazhang | !info joystick | 16:06 |
| ubottu | joystick (source: joystick): set of testing and calibration tools for joysticks. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:1.4.7-1 (trusty), package size 36 kB, installed size 157 kB | 16:06 |
| LonelyDanbo | I installed something called jstest-gtk which does calibration and remapping, but it just has the controls mapped to like "AXIS_X" or something. | 16:07 |
| LonelyDanbo | ABS_X | 16:08 |
| LonelyDanbo | and the buttons are just BTN_THUMB , but when I press them I get like pasting from my clipboard or mouse double-clicking. so it's being remapped somewhere else. | 16:09 |
| LonelyDanbo | hm... I seem to have joystick package installed. ... where do I find the device name that it needs? | 16:13 |
| bazhang | try lsusb | 16:13 |
| LonelyDanbo | ah, thanks. | 16:14 |
| LonelyDanbo | hm... I found it, but it's not taking the "005" as a device even though that's the device. | 16:16 |
| LonelyDanbo | Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0810:0001 Personal Communication Systems, Inc. Dual PSX Adaptor | 16:16 |
| LonelyDanbo | jscal -t 005 just gets me jscal: can't open joystick device: No such file or directory | 16:17 |
| LonelyDanbo | hm. man page says it wants <device-NAME> | 16:18 |
| LonelyDanbo | jscal Personal Communication Systems, Inc. Dual PSX Adaptor | 16:19 |
| bazhang | 0810:0001 <---- what about that | 16:19 |
| LonelyDanbo | gets me "jscal: missing device name" | 16:19 |
| LonelyDanbo | nope. no such file or directory | 16:19 |
| LonelyDanbo | oh man I found a webpage while saerching for a settings file that has a section "Disable Joystick From Controlling Mouse" | 16:22 |
| bazhang | Twin USB Joystick <--- what about that | 16:23 |
| LonelyDanbo | hm but I don't have an xorg.conf.d folder... | 16:24 |
| LonelyDanbo | nope, bazhang. missing device name. | 16:24 |
| bazhang | thats odd | 16:25 |
| LonelyDanbo | hm. another page mentioned a /dev/input/js0 | 16:27 |
| LonelyDanbo | got it. jscal /dev/input/js0 | 16:28 |
| LonelyDanbo | hm.... I'm a little lost now. calibration hasn't changed anything. | 16:37 |
| LonelyDanbo | this webppage I found talks about that /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folder that I don't have. | 16:38 |
| LonelyDanbo | in a later section it says "make sure you have xf86-input-joystick installed" but Xubuntu doesn't have that in the package manager. | 16:39 |
| LonelyDanbo | well it is a page for arch linux... but it was talking about XFCE so I thought maybe... | 16:39 |
| bazhang | you might try qjoypad as well | 16:40 |
| bazhang | http://linuxaria.com/article/how-to-use-a-playstation-2-joypad-with-linux | 16:40 |
| bazhang | !info qjoypad | 16:41 |

| LonelyDanbo | Hm. | 16:41 |
| bazhang | nice gui on that | 16:41 |
| LonelyDanbo | I don't think any of these programs are going to work, as the mapping to the mouse cursor is happening in spite of them. | 16:43 |
| LonelyDanbo | I gotta find a settings file somewhere. | 16:43 |
| bazhang | I'd not give up quite so easily | 16:43 |
| bazhang | I spent a good deal of time setting one up, and once it was done, played a *tonne* of games with it | 16:44 |
| LonelyDanbo | hm. looks like qjoypad won't run without a restart | 16:45 |
| LonelyDanbo | Debian doesn't have this problem, but Debian's out of date with the emulator (among other things} and so getting the emulator running is my problem over there. | 16:45 |
| LonelyDanbo | cat /proc/bus/input/devices gives Handlers=event15 js1 and I bet event15 is the problem. | 16:48 |
| LonelyDanbo | oh wait, event14 for js0. event15 is for js1 | 16:49 |
| LonelyDanbo | brb. gonna restart. | 16:57 |
| LonelyDanbo | "Uninstall xserver-xorg-input-joystick. It's a package to control the mouse with the joystick. " | 17:07 |
| LonelyDanbo | hm. now the gamepad's not working at all. | 17:07 |
| LonelyDanbo | I don't know why the light on the adapter wouldn't turn on though when I plug it in. | 17:08 |
| LonelyDanbo | hm. lsusb still lists the device. | 17:09 |
| LonelyDanbo | oh there's the light | 17:09 |
| LonelyDanbo | well, it's working under the emulator. I guess uninstalling that one package was all I needed. | 17:13 |
| LonelyDanbo | thanks for bearing with me and trying to find the solution. | 17:13 |
| bazhang | via qjoypad? | 17:17 |

| Kekai | Can Ubuntu be ran off aa netbook with a 1GB of ram? | 17:28 |

| pleia2 | Kekai: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/requirements/ | 17:29 |
| Kekai | I have Xubuntu I wanted to try Ubuntu Through terminal then delete using the Pure XCFE website | 17:31 |
| baizon | Kekai: i dont think it will run well, but thats my opinion | 17:31 |
| Kekai | This is why I cant wait for autumn | 17:32 |
| pleia2 | Kekai: you should really ask in #ubuntu | 17:33 |
| pleia2 | not here :) | 17:33 |
| baizon | Kekai: what happens in autmn? | 17:35 |
| Kekai | I posted to offtopic | 17:35 |
| bazhang | Kekai, here is fine, as is #ubuntu , but with that minimal amount of ram, you really might try lubuntu | 17:37 |
| bazhang | lubuntu-desktop for the full suite, install, then logout, select at login | 17:37 |
| Kekai | I been using Xubuntu just fine | 17:38 |
| bazhang | ok | 17:38 |
| Kekai | SInce november I been using 13.10 | 17:38 |
| Kekai | then upgraded fine to 1404 without problems | 17:38 |
| Kekai | my PC seems to run cooler in 14.04 lts | 17:38 |
| bazhang | you can certainly try ubuntu, but I think it would be very slow | 17:39 |
| Kekai | its only till autumn till I get my 12GB ram, 1TB laptop | 17:39 |
| bazhang | that will run anything | 17:39 |
| Kekai | Then I dual boot either Ubuntu and windows | 17:39 |
| Kekai | or Xubuntu/Windows | 17:39 |
| Kekai | Maybe the later because I dont like the look the launcher in Ubuntu | 17:40 |
| bazhang | so use gnome-shell , not unity | 17:40 |

| Inoki | Yo, came to ask, anything gonna happen with the screensaver turning off sound when it locks the screen? Really annoying.... | 20:29 |
| TheSheep | Inoki: did you report a bug? | 20:30 |
| TheSheep | Inoki: if no then no, nothing is goign to happen | 20:30 |
| Inoki | TheSheep: nope, but guess I'll have to. Do you know, is it safe to simply do a sudo apt-get purge light-locker && sudo apt-get install xscreensaver? | 20:30 |
| TheSheep | Inoki: no idea, I didn't upgrade yet myself | 20:31 |
| Inoki | TheSheep: Technically, on Webupd8 they mentioned that those running GNOME can simply try out light-locker by installing it and removing it simply returns to GNOME screensaver. | 20:32 |
| Inoki | Anybody here with experience on how to get GNOME screen saver running under Xubuntu? | 20:38 |
| Inoki | Or does a simple install do the trick. | 20:38 |
| TheSheep | just install it and enable in the sessions and startup in settings | 20:38 |
| Inoki | Ok, coz I really think adding a development release (light-locker) to a stable branch was a mistake. Thanks. | 20:39 |
