| delt | what did my quit say? | 09:01 |
| Unit193 | [03:57:39] delt (1000@64.18.182.14) has quit (Quit: Lost terminal) | 09:01 |
| delt | ah thanks | 09:01 |

| delt | question... how come the file manager shows /usr/bin/xfce4-* as shared libaries (blank page icon) and doesn't let me run them directly (pops up "open with..." dialog) instead of regular binaries? | 13:29 |
| delt | from a terminal, as far as i can see they're normal binaries (with ls, file, etc...) ???? | 13:29 |
| holstein | delt: what are you trying to run? you should be able to call the command to run whatever you need | 16:38 |
| delt | holstein: just out of curiosity... double click on | 16:39 |
| delt | holstein: just out of curiosity... double click on "file system", then usr then bin, you should see your /usr/bin (duh) | 16:39 |
| delt | then scroll down to xfce-* files | 16:39 |
| delt | try to double click on, say, xfce4-terminal | 16:40 |
| delt | it asks you what app you want to use to open the file | 16:40 |
| delt | [pts/19][user@phobos]:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal | 16:40 |
| delt | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 186720 Jan 11 2014 /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal | 16:40 |
| holstein | what are you trying to do? | 16:40 |
| delt | /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=c893ee5fdf55fa8fb5a5a30c803a8f5a92171488, stripped | 16:40 |
| delt | trying to figure out why double clicking on, say, xfce4-terminal doesn't launch a terminal window | 16:41 |
| delt | as if i ran xfce4-terminal from another terminal, or from the alt+f2 box | 16:41 |
| delt | of course there's the xfce4-terminal.wrapper file (appears to be a perl script) which i have no idea why it's needed | 16:44 |
| delt | just trying to understand :) | 16:44 |
| holstein | sure | 16:44 |
| holstein | i might go to a linux channel, or #ubuntu, or a general mailing list for that | 16:44 |
| holstein | i just know how to lauch the software i need | 16:45 |
| delt | yeah, seems to be specific to ubuntu.... i don't recall it being this way in slackware - but then again, that was an earlier version of xfce | 16:45 |
| holstein | im sure there are live CD's for slackware.. you can compare there what is going on | 16:46 |
| holstein | the "permissions" of those files are not "click and run" | 16:46 |
| delt | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 151608 May 19 2013 /slack/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal | 16:46 |
| holstein | they are not in the /users/home | 16:46 |
| delt | /slack/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 3.2.29, stripped | 16:47 |
| holstein | when you just click on them, you are not necessarily allowed to get to them on that level | 16:47 |
| delt | level....? | 16:47 |
| holstein | delt: right | 16:47 |
| holstein | delt: you are a normal user. and you are clicking on a system file | 16:47 |
| holstein | delt: its not executable to your user, or in your /home | 16:47 |
| holstein | it *could* be that simple | 16:47 |
| delt | exactly. the same way i'd be running the same system file by typing its name | 16:47 |
| holstein | delt: i dont think it *is* the same | 16:48 |
| delt | when i double click on /usr/bin/xterm i get a xterm window, as expected.... | 16:48 |
| holstein | delt: when you "type its name", its in the "path" of bash, as i understand it | 16:48 |
| delt | exactly. i just manually went to that path (/usr/bin) in the file manager | 16:48 |
| holstein | delt: all i can say is, if this is isolated to an issue with xfce terminal, try #xubuntu, or an xfce channel or list | 16:48 |
| holstein | we dont deal with the plumbing like that here | 16:49 |
| holstein | it could be a bug, or misconfiguration.. or breakage.. | 16:49 |
| holstein | or a "feature" | 16:49 |
| delt | yeah, i'll ask in #ubuntu and #xfce ...not sure which would be the best place of the two | 16:50 |
| delt | oh btw... what's the difference between alsa modular synth and amsynth? | 16:53 |
| holstein | i thought it was the same.. http://www.amsynth.com/alsamodularsynth.html | 17:23 |
| caba_ | Hello, sorry I'm not a native speaker | 18:34 |
| caba_ | I'll try to be exact | 18:34 |
| caba_ | ok, I have install timidity++ | 18:35 |
| caba_ | And I use it because I need midi channels | 18:36 |
| caba_ | Well it works fine but all the rest applications don't work | 18:37 |
| caba_ | For example | 18:38 |
| caba_ | If I use timidity ports on Band in a Box that runs over wine | 18:38 |
| caba_ | youtube don't work | 18:38 |
| caba_ | or audacious don't work | 18:38 |
| caba_ | and all application that sounds, don't work | 18:39 |
| caba_ | this is my problem | 18:39 |
| caba_ | Should I see this problem on another channel? | 18:50 |
| caba_ | bye | 19:01 |
| caboose885 | caba_, it sometimes takes people some time to respond | 19:01 |
| caba_ | ok | 19:01 |
| caboose885 | Be patient if you have the time. Or ask on the ubuntuforums | 19:01 |
| caba_ | ok, I'll be patient | 19:02 |
| caboose885 | If no one responds I would advise you post: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=335 | 19:02 |
| caba_ | oh thanks a lot | 19:03 |
| caboose885 | no worries. Sorry I can't be of more help | 19:09 |
| caba_ | well, I have to go, thanks caboose885 | 19:10 |
| caba_ | byt | 19:10 |
| caba_ | bye* | 19:10 |
