etwarriorWhy does my Firefox occasionally go opaque? Is there something I'm doing wrong? It seems to be when I scroll with my trackpad at times, I am using a White Macbook.01:04
etwarriorBut I am on Xubuntu.01:04
GridCubeetwarrior, opaque?01:11
etwarriorYes.01:11
etwarriorGridCube, yes.01:12
GridCubeetwarrior, are you sure you are not just moving the horizontal scroll over the title bar?01:12
etwarriorGridCube, that's it!01:13
GridCube:)01:13
etwarriorWhy does Linux do that GridCube?01:13
GridCubethat makes windows transparent01:13
GridCubeits a feature of xfce01:13
etwarrior:D01:13
GridCubeyou can make any particular window transparent01:13
etwarriorI kind of like it now that I understand.01:13
GridCubeyou used to be able to do that pressing alt-scroll but that now zooms01:14
GridCubeso only people with horizontal scrolls can do that now :(01:14
GridCubethat makes me sad because i loved to be able to do that when watching movies01:14
etwarriorWell, you can always customize your own xfce, right?01:15
etwarrioror downgrade.01:15
etwarriorIt's open-source, right GridCube?01:16
GridCubei can sure, both thing, downgrading is never a good idea01:16
GridCubeP:01:16
etwarriorNot necessarily GridCube, sometimes updates break things.01:17
GridCubeand configuring myself is not really an option because i just update and it get overwrited01:17
etwarriorYou know?01:17
GridCubeyep01:17
etwarriorI kind of like xfce, because it's like my Mac OS01:17
etwarriorBut it can also be like Windows. D01:17
etwarrior:D01:17
GridCubei like xfce becuase its like xfce, and i like xfce P:01:17
etwarriorI like many DEs01:18
etwarriorXfce is good01:18
etwarriorLXDE01:18
etwarrioruhh01:18
etwarriorI kind of liked GNOME 201:18
etwarriorI don't like Gnome01:18
etwarriorGNOME 2 is now MATE01:18
etwarriorI guess?01:18
etwarriorI don't like the bottom bar though.01:18
GridCubemate is a fork of gnome201:18
GridCuberemove it01:18
etwarriorYou can?01:18
etwarriorHm..01:18
GridCubesure01:18
GridCubeyou can do whatever you want01:18
etwarriorI'm sticking with my Xubuntu. :D01:18
etwarriorThere's a new project that's unofficial called Ubuntu-MATE, but I like my Xubuntu.01:19
etwarriorMy little mouse with Whiskers. :)01:19

XypherHello02:32
XypherI need help02:32
Xypheranyone?02:33
AgAujust ask your question02:33
XypherI have a problem with Python, is this the right place to ask about this?02:34
holsteinXypher: just ask, friend.. and a volunteer may be a able to help02:35
XypherI found that, most of my programs in Python 3 don't work...why this could happen...it run good on python202:37
holsteinXypher: run them in python2..02:38
holsteinXypher: whoever creates the applications may not have made them for python302:38
XypherBut, it lack of Unicodes02:38
Xypherand python 2 will discontinued support in 202002:38
holsteinXypher: sure, and we are *not* talking about python2, but, some unmentioned python applications.. if *they* dont support python3, they dont02:39
Xypheror I just need to convert Python 2 program using 2to3 script?02:39
holsteinXypher: i have no idea, friend. ask the creators of the application it they intend you to run them in python3, and if so, how02:40
XypherThanks for the advice02:41
Unit193Xypher: That may work in a few cases, but really just wait for upstream to support it.  Do you have any good reason to try and get all python2 based programs you use to use python3 other than "it's newer"?  2020 is a long way away, and gives application devs plenty of time to do it right™02:41
XypherI also don't know how to change higlighting text color from blue to color I want...I'm using 14.0102:42
holsteinXypher: in what?02:42
holsteinXypher: are you using 14.10? or 14.04?02:42
XypherXubuntu, 14.04.01 (sorry)02:43
Unit193Xypher: Open gtk-theme-config.02:43
XypherWhere I should I find that...02:44
holsteinXypher: open a terminal, and type "gtk-theme-config"02:45
Xypherohh, thx (^^)02:45
Unit193It's also in the Settings Manager, Theme Config IIRC.02:46
Xypherahh...I tried to change the highlight color..but nothing happened02:46
Xypherhighlight text*02:47
Xypherit's still in same color02:47
Unit193Some applications will require you to restart as they don't read that on the fly.02:48
holsteinlogout and back in should do02:48
Xypherah, ok02:48
Xypherthanks02:48
Xypherand this is last question from me...Does using Tor is safe?02:49
holsteinXypher: "safe" is always a matter of opinion02:49
holsteinXypher: depends on what you want to be safe from, and its more a matter of what you can trust.. which, ideally is realistically nothing02:50
XypherAhh, i heard Tor having some issue with NSA, I can be in NSA watchlist just from using Tor02:50
holsteini would try a security irc channel, and search around and form an opinion about it02:50
holsteinXypher: sure. *if* nsa related to safety in any way, that could be relevant02:51
holsteinmaybe it does for you, in some way.. you'll have to decide that for yourself through research of facts02:51
Xypherahh....ok..then02:52
Xypherbye and thanks for help.02:52

holstein_guest_: if you updated, from 13.10, then, you would need to codec support again04:09
_guest_?04:09
holstein_guest_: you need to add codec support04:09
_guest_ah ok.  why though? that doesn't make sense04:10
holstein_guest_: in a terminal, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras"04:10
xangua_guest_: you would maybe be better with VLC04:11
_guest_i aready started the install. my question was why would that get removed with the upgrade?04:11
holstein_guest_: there is a gstreamer plugin for acc... the restricteed extras pack installs more that just acc support04:11
xanguanot that parole is not any good, but last time I tried it it couldn't even open some comercial DVD's, even when I had the gstreamer and libdvdcs installed and totem could04:12
holstein_guest_: you get stock 14.04.. in many ways04:12
_guest_holstein, i get that. but thats completely counter intuitive04:13

etwarriorHey, I made my Xubuntu look more like Windows 7, but how do I fix my notifications so that they fit the bar on the bottom, better?22:19
etwarriorFor instance, Skype, if I click on the icon, it makes it so I have to "scroll" downward to see the rest of  my options.22:19
brainwashetwarrior: does this happen if you place the panel on the top?22:21
holsteinetwarrior: "skype", basically comes "as-is".. not sure they will allow you to re-work any of the UI elements22:21

etwarriorWell22:33
