| freiform | Hi. | 08:15 |
| freiform | Anyone familiar with windows7 windows shortcuts for moving windows? pressing META-<right arrow>, a window cycles: left half of screen, right half, then to the left half of a 2nd screen, right half of a 2nd screen, and repeat. Is there a way to mimic that behaviour using XFCE or another tiling manager? I can configure XFCE to put my windows into certain areas of the screen, but I am missing this cycling. | 08:18 |

| sorinb | Hello. Is there any way to change certain appearance settings colors ? | 11:29 |
| sorinb | I'm in the Appearance menu from settings, but I don't see where can I change the colors so I can use my custom colors | 11:30 |
| freiform | sorinb, there are a couple of settings in 'Theme Configuration' | 11:33 |
| sorinb | thanks freiform | 11:36 |

| sorinb | freiform, any idea how can I add more options to the Indicator plugin from Panel Items ? I have none there, but I should have Date, Sound, etc | 12:06 |
| freiform | sorinb, is the indicator plugin active? | 12:07 |
| sorinb | yes | 12:07 |
| sorinb | freiform, I have skype, mesages and,sound | 12:07 |
| sorinb | but for example I'd like to have "Application Menus (Global Menus)" there | 12:08 |
| freiform | also network, bluetooth.. | 12:08 |
| sorinb | nope, those are not visible there | 12:08 |
| freiform | Isn't that independent from the indicator plugin? | 12:08 |
| sorinb | nope | 12:08 |
| freiform | just add new items to the panel | 12:08 |
| sorinb | freiform, http://i.stack.imgur.com/7hcKs.png | 12:08 |
| sorinb | a lot from this list I don;;t have. But I am interested in Application Menus | 12:09 |
| sorinb | there are some sort of plugins for the Indicators plugin | 12:09 |
| freiform | good questions, i also don't have them . | 12:10 |
| sorinb | freiform, the screenshot is taken from http://askubuntu.com/questions/563326/how-to-get-the-normal-xubuntu-xfce-panel-indicator | 12:10 |
| sorinb | oddly, I have an instance of Xubuntu that HAS them :)) | 12:10 |
| sorinb | but doesn't seem I installed something custom/specific/additional | 12:11 |
| freiform | sorinb, on the same box? | 12:13 |
| sorinb | freiform, no, another box | 12:16 |
| freiform | sorinb, a) maybe compare installed packages or b) is it possible to start an associated application one time for the corresponding indicator plugin gets loaded? | 12:18 |
| sorinb | freiform, odd thing is that, if you ACCIDENTALLY click on "Clear known indicators" .. you're screwed. THen what ? :) | 12:18 |
| sorinb | That button does more harm there than good | 12:19 |
| freiform | sorinb, i also don't understand the concept behind it. or at least it's usage. i guess it's supposed to mimic the windows notification area, but that one is far more intuitive. | 12:20 |
| freiform | sorinb, take a look at https://pseudomorph.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/xfce-notification-a/ | 12:20 |
| sorinb | freiform,: reading | 12:47 |
| sorinb | freiform, : oddly, on neither of the machines Indicator Application was NOT checked to auto start | 12:51 |
| sorinb | I have checked it now and rebooted, see what happens | 12:51 |
| freiform | good luck ;) | 12:52 |
| sorinb | freiform, : no luck, I have no additional options in the Indicators plugin :( | 12:56 |
| freiform | strange indeed. | 12:57 |
| sorinb | freiform, : basically what I want is to have the Firefox menu in the panel bar... | 13:00 |

| hoodedice | Hello. I want to print an image without installing another image viewer, and without using firefox, because firefox puts these headers that I don't want on my image and without using an image manipulation program, because I'm an end user, and end users are stupid. | 14:21 |
| holstein | hoodedice: i would save the image locally, and use *something* to manipulate the image.. | 14:23 |
| hoodedice | holstein, SURPRISE! The image is on my local drive. | 14:23 |
| holstein | there are online services for that that i have seen where you can give them a URL to the image, edit it, and download the result | 14:23 |
| hoodedice | hols, the image is local in .jpeg | 14:23 |
| holstein | i would literally right click on the image, open it in whatever "viewer" i have installed, and print it | 14:24 |
| hoodedice | the point is - ristretto does not have a print function | 14:24 |
| hoodedice | and ristretto is default. | 14:24 |
| holstein | if you want the functionality of another program, you'll want to consider installing another program | 14:26 |
| hoodedice | Indeed I would | 14:26 |
| hoodedice | But think about this from the perspective of an end user | 14:28 |
| holstein | well, im just a volunteer here.. im not trying to "fix" the work flow of xubuntu for specific cases.. though, you are welcome to get involved on that level | 14:28 |
| holstein | as they say, you cant please everyone all the time.. and there are always "issues" for everyone | 14:29 |
| holstein | but, to address your specific issue, i might look at the print preview from firefox, or, consider installing another viewer, or, something like mspaint | 14:30 |
| holstein | !info mspaint | 14:30 |
| ubottu | Package mspaint does not exist in vivid | 14:30 |
| hoodedice | I don't think adding a print interface is going to kill anyone | 14:30 |
| holstein | !info mtpaint | 14:30 |
| hoodedice | hols, I did my printing via gimp | 14:30 |
| ubottu | mtpaint (source: mtpaint): painting program to create pixel art and manipulate digital photos. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.40-2 (vivid), package size 440 kB, installed size 1872 kB | 14:30 |
| hoodedice | > mtpaint | 14:30 |
| hoodedice | my sides. | 14:30 |
| holstein | hoodedice: oh, and im in no way implying you have a bad idea.. im just saying, im not able to add paint functionality to it | 14:30 |
| hoodedice | hmm | 14:31 |
| holstein | all i can do is volunteer things that hopefully easily address your needs.. would you like to try mtpaint? | 14:31 |
| hoodedice | No, thank you, sir | 14:31 |
| hoodedice | I think I'll bug the mailing list with this | 14:31 |

| sorinello | Hello. Can someone tell me how to get the global (top) menu of Firefox to be displayed in the panel bar ? | 15:26 |
| holstein | sorinello: there were some netbook specific things for that.. but, AFAIK, it would apply to the system menu's.. is that what you want? or more of a fullscreen of firefox? or, hiding the menu? | 15:37 |
| sorinello | well I have a vanilla xubuntu 15.04. I have NO Firefox menu whatsoever. I have a lame bat at the top, where I have the icons to close, minimize + the website title. No Menu. I accidentally have a system which, when you select firefox, its menu appears in the panel ,which seems cool | 15:39 |
| sorinello | ( holstein ) | 15:39 |
| hoodedice | sorinello, new firefox ui | 15:41 |
| hoodedice | the stuff is now in the menu button on the top right | 15:41 |
| holstein | by design, AFAIK | 15:41 |
| hoodedice | you might want a theme plugin if you want the old style back | 15:41 |
| hoodedice | yes, by design. | 15:41 |
| sorinello | hmm.. interesting. but this must be something Linux specific, since on WIndows I have the latest FF version, and combinations like alt+F, alt+H, will make the top menu visible | 15:43 |
| holstein | sorinello: maybe you actually dont have the latest in windows? check that you have the same version both places | 15:44 |
| hoodedice | those combinations may not work in xubuntu | 15:44 |
| holstein | could be overrides in xubuntu specifically | 15:44 |
| hoodedice | ...actually, they run on my end | 15:44 |
| sorinello | holstein, now really lame question. Since I can't access FF menu at all, how do I see FF version ? :) | 15:45 |
| sorinello | cos alt+H does not trigger anything | 15:45 |
| sorinello | ah, found it | 15:45 |
| sorinello | Xubuntu is 38, windows version is 38.0.5 | 15:46 |
| holstein | well, anyways, it seems to be just you, since, its working for hoodedice.. maybe you have overridden the key combos | 15:46 |
| sorinello | but the one from Xubuntu doesn't looks 100% vanilla. It states : Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu cannonical 1.0 | 15:46 |
| holstein | sorinello: it should be repackaged, for the ubuntu repos | 15:47 |
| holstein | re-built.. not really changed, in anyway, though, you are welcome to confirm | 15:47 |
| sorinello | holstein, : my system is almost vanilla, I haven't changed any key bindings .... I don't even know how to do that :) | 15:48 |
| holstein | sorinello: cool.. i mean to attach no blame.. just suggesting further investigation, since, they are working for other folks | 15:49 |
| hoodedice | wow, mine is pure vanilla as well] | 15:49 |
| hoodedice | but 32 bit here | 15:49 |
| hoodedice | the only shortcut I added was Superkey for the applications menu | 15:50 |
| sorinello | interesting. well nevermind, it's not disturbing me or something. It's just that I don't like that it seems that with each version of Ubuntu in general, something breaks. | 15:51 |
| hoodedice | if it doesn't break something, then it is not a new version of ubuntu =) | 16:01 |
| sorinello | :)) hoodedice, holstein : seems that setting the default browser from the UI.. from "Preffered Applications" does not work :) xdg-open still reports chrome even thatt I've set Firefox from UI | 16:16 |

| xubuntu52w | on my ubuntu ocmputer | 18:17 |

| Christopher-Were | Hi, I can't seem to find the config files for Deja Dup. How would I go about finding out where they are? | 20:23 |
| Christopher-Were | They're not in any of the obvious places | 20:29 |
| dkessel | Cjristopher-Were: this may answer your question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/145698/where-does-deja-dup-keep-its-config-files | 20:30 |
| dkessel | Christopher-Were: see above, and sorry for the typo in your name | 20:31 |
| Christopher-Were | That's all very confusing. So it says there that deja-dup doesn't have it's own config file | 20:33 |
| Christopher-Were | Well I don't know where I should go from here. I just wanted to edit a setting on Deja Dup and now I either have to install a gnome settings program of ferret around in no Deja-Dup config files. | 20:35 |
| Christopher-Were | I must be understanding that wrong. | 20:35 |
| dkessel | Deja dup settings are stored together with other application's files in a binary file. Yes, you will probably need to install a settings editor. But I guess it must also be possible to manipulate these settings using the command line | 20:38 |
| dkessel | gsettings seems to be the command line to to do this | 20:39 |
| dkessel | Maybe also dconf-editor. I got to go. Good luck with whatever you are trying! | 20:40 |
| Christopher-Were | Maybe I should switch to backintime. After doing some googling, Deja Dup seems to have a number of horror stories. What do you use? | 20:41 |

| De | Hi. I am kinda newbie, and just want to upgrade to 15.04 via terminal. but dont know how. its easy, dont it? | 23:02 |
| ObrienDave | which version are you on now? | 23:03 |
| pleia2 | the cli utility to upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04 is called do-release-upgrade | 23:03 |
| pleia2 | (well, it's called that for all releases, I was just specifying because you can't skip versions) | 23:03 |
| De | 14.04 | 23:04 |
| ObrienDave | you need to do 2 do-release-upgrades to get to 15.04 | 23:05 |
| ObrienDave | but, 14.04 is LTS, 3 years support | 23:05 |
| ObrienDave | 15.04 is 9 months | 23:06 |
| De | hmmm.. right. got it. | 23:06 |
| De | make sense | 23:06 |
| De | :) | 23:06 |
| De | thanx | 23:06 |
| ObrienDave | i'm on 14.04. got tired of the 6 month re-install everything garbage | 23:07 |
