[09:29] Why my xfce4-terminal opens web links in Firefox in (14.04)? I have set preferred applications. [09:36] I mean I have set preferred web browser other than Firefox.

[15:12] I'm using intel graphics [15:12] It works in Unity, but not Xfce :S [16:11] HELP [16:11] JUST RM'D MY HOLE HARD DRIVE [16:11] ALL MY GAY PORN IS GONE [16:13] 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] sohail-ahmed: dpkg has --instdir= [16:23] brainwash: does dpkg can handle non-distribution packages? [16:24] sohail-ahmed: it handles .deb packages [16:24] all valid ones [16:25] brainwash: So this is not a solution if I have .tar file, correct?? [16:25] no [16:28] brainwash_: but you just said it handles only .deb files? [16:29] I meant it's not a general solution [16:29] I don't know what you are trying to achieve exactly, maybe you want to ask in ##linux [16:30] or #ubuntu [16:31] brainwash: In #ubuntu no body responded. Please just confirm that dpkg could not install .tar files [16:32] how do you install a .tar file? it's not a package, and dpkg is a package manager [16:33] sohail-ahmed: dpkg can only install .deb files. [16:33] you initial question mentioned apt/aptidude, so I assumed that you are talking about debian packages [16:33] your [16:33] 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] I see [16:34] where is release candidate? [16:35] so, you could even ask in #bash [16:35] sohail-ahmed: typically those options are set during the configure [16:35] 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] 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] the first step would be to read the manual page [16:36] Pici: but with .tar file in hand how can I control packaging? [16:36] 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] Anyway, this is the same thing that you're being told in #python too [16:44] Pici, brainwash_: thanks for your help. Their bash file can accept the installation directory option. thanks for your time [18:20] HAi [18:20] Im ERic [18:20] and im using xubuntu [18:20] But there is one thing i want to say. [19:15] hello [19:15] hi =) [19:15] 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] from there, when you configure bleachbit, the configuration file is the same for user and for root, which is very wrong [19:16] melodie, yes … several applications use policykit [19:16] I have started bleanchbit with gksu and with gksu it works the right way [19:17] if you guys could check my finding, and bring the information upstream to the packager that would be nice [19:17] 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] for the user I modified the desktop file to make it use gksu (and placed it in his .local/share/applications directory) [19:22] mrkramps policykit=pkexec ? [19:22] yes [19:22] or rather reverse pkexec is a policykit tool? [19:22] actually this command makes other applications use policykit to gain the proper rights [19:23] gparted or synaptic use it as well [19:24] Bleachbit does not support what is in it's desktop file [19:24] gksu is needed to make it create a proper configuration file meant only for the root-bleachbit side [19:25] 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] please file a bug report on launchpad.net [19:26] against bleachbit? [19:26] well, yes [19:26] you want to inform the package maintainer [19:26] should I check each bleachbit version to be sure it's the same everywhere? [19:26] yes I want to inform him [19:27] feel free to do some testing [19:27] I bet I might need to check the packages at Debian too [19:27] probably, most packages are synced from debian [19:27] brainwash_ I don't need testing, just unpack debs and check their desktop files [19:28] yes right [19:28] testing I have done already [19:28] in my user's machine :D [19:28] oh gosh that was my first dual-boot with a windows 8 and uefi + gpt! [19:48] hiya [19:49] guys anybody know the name of desktop environment used by solaris? [19:50] and how to install it on ubuntu? [19:50] what exactly is going on in here? [19:52] Fructo: Solaris 11 uses Gnome 2.30 [19:53] Fructo, MATE is the successor of gnome 2 [19:53] the fork [19:53] yes, i know it's gnome, but what variety of it? [19:54] a fork of gnome 2 [19:54] how is that even related to xubuntu? [19:54] I just like how solaris gnome looks [19:54] I want to install it to Xubuntu [19:55] good luck then [19:57] and i also want fully suared windows in xubuntu [19:58] anybody knows what settings to edit to make windows to have square corners? [19:58] Fructo, settings → window manager (use a different theme) [20:01] i want to ask yet several questions but don't want to be annoying [20:02] just ask [21:38] i keep losing some settings, like the powersaving settings. any idea why that could be happening? [21:39] 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] 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?
