[05:21] <xubuntu243> hey guys i am using Xubuntu as the m,ain operating system on a business computer and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a point of sales program that is xubuntu compatable for keeping books and financial information?
[05:23] <cfhowlett> xubuntu243, any *ubuntu* capable program should do.  there are some proprietary POS programs out there
[05:24] <cfhowlett> look in the software center for "finance"

[09:29] <jarnos> Why my xfce4-terminal opens web links in Firefox in (14.04)?  I have set preferred applications.

[16:11] <Upstand> HELP
[16:11] <Upstand> JUST RM'D MY HOLE HARD DRIVE
[16:11] <Upstand> ALL MY GAY PORN IS GONE
[16:13] <sohail-ahmed> n python I can direct the installation files to a certain directory with use of --prefix, do we have any like this with apt or aptitude in linux???
[16:15] <brainwash> sohail-ahmed: dpkg has --instdir=
[16:23] <sohail-ahmed> brainwash: does dpkg can handle non-distribution packages?
[16:24] <brainwash_> sohail-ahmed: it handles .deb packages
[16:24] <brainwash_> all valid ones
[16:25] <sohail-ahmed> brainwash: So this is not a solution if I have .tar file, correct??
[16:25] <brainwash_> no
[16:28] <sohail-ahmed> brainwash_: but you just said it handles only .deb files?
[16:29] <brainwash_> I meant it's not a general solution
[16:29] <brainwash_> I don't know what you are trying to achieve exactly, maybe you want to ask in ##linux
[16:30] <brainwash_> or #ubuntu
[16:31] <sohail-ahmed> brainwash: In #ubuntu no body responded. Please just confirm that dpkg could not install .tar files
[16:32] <brainwash_> how do you install a .tar file? it's not a package, and dpkg is a package manager
[16:33] <Pici> sohail-ahmed: dpkg can only install .deb files.
[16:33] <brainwash_> you initial question mentioned apt/aptidude, so I assumed that you are talking about debian packages
[16:33] <brainwash_> your
[16:33] <sohail-ahmed> brainwash_: Corect. But usually .tar file have bash/make file and I just trying to figure it out how to force them to install at certain location
[16:34] <brainwash_> I see
[16:34] <JeZxLee> where is release candidate?
[16:35] <brainwash_> so, you could even ask in #bash
[16:35] <Pici> sohail-ahmed: typically those options are set during the configure
[16:35] <sohail-ahmed> for example I can install texlive with sudo apt-get texlive.. but as I am trying to understand that with this way can I control their installation directories or not
[16:35] <Pici> sohail-ahmed: apt-get does not allow you to change the directories that things are installed into.  All of that in configured during the packaging stage.
[16:35] <brainwash_> the first step would be to read the manual page
[16:36] <sohail-ahmed> Pici: but with .tar file in hand how can I control packaging?
[16:36] <Pici> sohail-ahmed: You don't.  You need to read the README or INSTALL or similar documentation that is inside the tar to figure out how to configure the install locaiton,.
[16:39] <Pici> Anyway, this is the same thing that you're being told in #python too
[16:44] <sohail-ahmed> Pici, brainwash_: thanks for your help. Their bash file can accept the installation directory option. thanks for your time
[18:20] <xubuntu891> HAi
[18:20] <xubuntu891> Im ERic
[18:20] <xubuntu891> and im using xubuntu
[18:20] <xubuntu891> But there is one thing i want to say.
[19:15] <melodie> hello
[19:15] <mrkramps> hi =)
[19:15] <melodie> I have noticed something annoying with Bleachbit on the latest Xubuntu editions: the exec line in the desktop file uses some pkexec king of command for the root version of bleachbit
[19:16] <melodie> from there, when you configure bleachbit, the configuration file is the same for user and for root, which is very wrong
[19:16] <mrkramps> melodie, yes … several applications use policykit
[19:16] <melodie> I have started bleanchbit with gksu and with gksu it works the right way
[19:17] <melodie> if you guys could check my finding, and bring the information upstream to the packager that would be nice
[19:17] <melodie> I have installed Xubuntu for someone about 10 days ago, and I didn't find time to take care of that (I'm an Archlinux user but I install *buntu editions for the users)
[19:18] <melodie> for the user I modified the desktop file to make it use gksu (and placed it in his .local/share/applications directory)
[19:22] <melodie> mrkramps policykit=pkexec ?
[19:22] <mrkramps> yes
[19:22] <melodie> or rather reverse pkexec is a policykit tool?
[19:22] <mrkramps> actually this command makes other applications use policykit to gain the proper rights
[19:23] <mrkramps> gparted or synaptic use it as well
[19:24] <melodie> Bleachbit does not support what is in it's desktop file
[19:24] <melodie> gksu is needed to make it create a proper configuration file meant only for the root-bleachbit side
[19:25] <melodie> other methods fail to make it have a different configuration file, which is a bummer when I make simple users use bleachbit, they have to have their configuration all done for them
[19:25] <brainwash_> please file a bug report on launchpad.net
[19:26] <melodie> against bleachbit?
[19:26] <brainwash_> well, yes
[19:26] <brainwash_> you want to inform the package maintainer
[19:26] <melodie> should I check each bleachbit version to be sure it's the same everywhere?
[19:26] <melodie> yes I want to inform him
[19:27] <brainwash_> feel free to do some testing
[19:27] <melodie> I bet I might need to check the packages at Debian too
[19:27] <brainwash_> probably, most packages are synced from debian
[19:27] <melodie> brainwash_ I don't need testing, just unpack debs and check their desktop files
[19:28] <melodie> yes right
[19:28] <melodie> testing I have done already
[19:28] <melodie> in my user's machine :D
[19:28] <melodie> oh gosh that was my first dual-boot with a windows 8 and uefi + gpt!
[19:48] <Fructo> hiya
[19:49] <Fructo> guys anybody know the name of desktop environment used by solaris?
[19:50] <Fructo> and how to install it on ubuntu?
[19:50] <Fructo> what exactly is going on in here?
[19:52] <koegs> Fructo: Solaris 11 uses Gnome 2.30
[19:53] <mrkramps> Fructo, MATE is the successor of gnome 2
[19:53] <xangua> the fork
[19:53] <Fructo> yes, i know it's gnome, but what variety of it?
[19:54] <xangua> a fork of gnome 2
[19:54] <brainwash_> how is that even related to xubuntu?
[19:54] <Fructo> I just like how solaris gnome looks
[19:54] <Fructo> I want to install it to Xubuntu
[19:55] <brainwash_> good luck then
[19:57] <Fructo> and i also want fully suared windows in xubuntu
[19:58] <Fructo> anybody knows what settings to edit to make windows to have square corners?
[19:58] <mrkramps> Fructo, settings → window manager (use a different theme)
[20:01] <Fructo> i want to ask yet several questions but don't want to be annoying
[20:02] <mrkramps> just ask
[21:38] <pettern> i keep losing some settings, like the powersaving settings. any idea why that could be happening?
[21:39] <pettern> they seem right in the settingsmanager so i have to change them to the wrong setting and then back again to fix it
[23:49] <Luyin> hi, got xfce 4.12 in xubuntu 14.04 now from the ppa. very nice, but somehow, volume up/down-keys don't work anymore. any suggestions on how to fix this?
