| knome | bluesabre, crazy idea that would take some effort: how could we offer the xfce defaults for xubuntu users -- in case they want them rather than the xubuntu stuff? | 16:39 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | bluesabre, and i mean within a xubuntu session, not the xfce one | 16:39 |
| knome | bluesabre, or is the latter simply the thing you need to do | 16:39 |
| ochosi | i would say that's the essential difference between the two sessions, no? | 18:26 |
| knome | ochosi, i guess... but what if the xubuntu defaults fall flat for somebody in some region? oh well | 20:17 |
| bluesabre | knome: could provide some script to do it in xubuntu-default-settings | 22:59 |
| bluesabre | thing about xfce is that once a property is set, it persists between session (xfce or xubuntu), so the only real way to do it would be some script that overwrites settings with a list of defaults | 23:01 |
| bluesabre | and I think that would be quite a bit better than pointing to a wiki page or forum someplace since the setting versions would be tied to xubuntu releases | 23:03 |
| Unit193 | "Perhaps we have should provide a way to use Xfce defaults?" "We have the Xfce session." "Perhaps another way?" why? | 23:03 |
| bluesabre | If you load the xubuntu session on first boot, you now have xubuntu defaults | 23:04 |
| bluesabre | I don't think the Xfce session is an intentional feature | 23:05 |
| bluesabre | Unless it is? | 23:05 |
| bluesabre | More generally, there's also the issue of "I installed Xubuntu x release and upgraded to x+1, how do I get the new defaults without creating a new user?" | 23:06 |
| bluesabre | Unless we're cool with wiki'ing a bunch of xfconf-query commands? | 23:08 |
| brainwash | rm -r ~/.config/xfce4 | 23:08 |
| brainwash | ? | 23:08 |
| bluesabre | Does a running xfconf not hold on to those/recreate them? | 23:09 |
| brainwash | kill it, remove the config dir, restart it | 23:10 |
| Unit193 | Let it restart itself, it'll do that automagically. :P | 23:11 |
| brainwash | probably best to do it during a relog | 23:11 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: Oh right! I was going to ask, xfce4-power-manager and xfce4-volumed run as daemons when launched, any reason why xfce4-screensaver shouldn't? | 23:11 |
| bluesabre | Unit193: nope, I think it'd be good if it did | 23:14 |
