| <brasko> hi | |
| <brasko> I just installed xfce for the first time with xubuntu | |
| <brasko> I'd like to know how to map keyboard shortcuts | |
| <brasko> I'd like to open a terminal with Ctrl-Alt-d | |
| <brasko> is this possible? | |
| *** maverick`- is now known as mavericK`- | |
| <sensei> brasko: Menu -> Settings -> Something ;) | |
| <brasko> there are a few other funny things. The backspace key doesn't work. | |
| <brasko> in the terminal | |
| <brasko> and for some reason, I can't open a visual program from the terminal | |
| <brasko> but I can from the GUI | |
| <brasko> any ideas? | |
| <brasko> actually, sorry that was a screen issue I guess | |
| <sensei> Sounds like it | |
| <brasko> I guess screen is breaking both of those issues for some reason | |
| <brasko> for some reason, Ctrl-Alt-d minimizes all the windows | |
| <brasko> is this supposed to happen? | |
| <sensei> You should be able to open X programs in screen | |
| <sensei> Are you switching user in the screen process? | |
| <brasko> yes, I'll try to figure that out at a later time. | |
| <sensei> And yes | |
| <brasko> no I'm not though | |
| <sensei> Oddness | |
| <jelly> Where can I find the default menu in xubuntu, one with all the installed apps? | |
| <brasko> if you hit Ctrl-Alt-d, do all the windows minimize? | |
| <sensei> No, I use KDE | |
| <sensei> But yeah, that's supposed to happe | |
| <sensei> n | |
| <sensei> jelly: /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml | |
| <jelly> sensei: do I have to add it manually to the panel? | |
| <sensei> jelly: Hm no | |
| <jelly> sensei: I have "Applications" menu by default. It differs a bit from Xfce's menu in Debian -- most notably, there's no "Debian" submenu with all the installed apps | |
| <sensei> Well.. you didn't quite install debian, now did you? ;) | |
| <sensei> Make sure you upgrade and use xfce4-menueditor to add your applications | |
| <jelly> sensei: well, I'd expect ubuntu to add menu entries for installed apps somewhere... | |
| <jelly> sensei: eg. there's no simple way to start xterm, aterm or mrxvt from the menu. | |
| <sensei> Now I may be very wrong now, but I suspect that's up to the package creator to decide which menus to add to, as far as I know there's no mechanism in apt(itude) or dpkg to add stuff to any kind of menu | |
| <sensei> Then add that if you wish :) An xubuntu install comes with a shitload of software, having all of them in the menu would be silly.. And since I suspect Terminal already is there, it makes even less sense | |
| <jelly> sensei: hmm. In debian, there's a menu common to all wm's and DE's and it usually contains apps, some desktop/screensaaver settings and Xshells submenus | |
| <jelly> sensei: the apps in particular contains all the apps installed. | |
| <sensei> There is a Debian-menu in KDE at least | |
| <jelly> sensei: yes, that one. | |
| <sensei> But for some reason, not in xfce.. so start adding I guess :) | |
| <jelly> sensei: it seems to be missing in xfce. | |
| <jelly> who knows, maybe it was added after the ubuntu took the sid snapshot. | |
| <jelly> hmm, Language Support tries to invoke nonexisting /usr/bin/gnome-language-selector | |
| <jelly> scratch that, it's exists now(?) | |
| <lostatc> I have a p2 with 128 meg of ram will Xubuntu run okay? | |
| <lostatc> Hmm | |
| <jelly> lostatc: i've just installed on a P3 with 128MB and it runs acceptably well. | |

| <starsky-hutchy> is xfce faster than icewm ? | |
| <pdc_foo> !xfce | |
| <ubotu> Xubuntu is Ubuntu with XFCE, for more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org To install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | |
| <Jobberwacky> no | |
| <ron_o> xfce probably isn't faster than icewm. | |
| <ron_o> xfce is pretty large, but smaller than gnome and kde. | |
| <ron_o> I estimate that it needs 256MB of ram to run like it should w/ other gui's running. | |
| <ron_o> 192MB minimum, imho. | |

| <sbalneav> Anyone seen this before? | |
| <ellioTb> hrmm, no sorry | |
| <crimsun> don't believe I have. does it only occur with the 1018 xubuntu daily on cdimage? | |
| <sbalneav> Hm, let me check the image I downloaded. | |
| <sbalneav> It's the beta release. Downloaded this eveing. | |
| <crimsun> could you rsync to the 1018 on cdimage? | |
| <crimsun> a few people have had similar problems with older images; don't remember offhand if the symptoms are spot-on | |
| <sbalneav> Got a command line for the rsync? | |
| <crimsun> alternate or desktop? | |
| <sbalneav> Alternate | |
| <sbalneav> The mac's only got 168 meg. :) | |

| <TheSheep> compositor | |
| <TheSheep> sorry | |
| <tictacaddict> nope | |
| <tictacaddict> didn't do the trick | |

| <Mattias> strange, beryl works fine on my machine | |
| <Mattias> but i compiled it myself from an overlay | |
| <goober1010> beryl works with xbuntu? | |
| <TheSheep> goober1010: sure | |
| <TheSheep> goober1010: it's just a window manager, after all | |
| <ZeroCool> thought I would ask... how much faster is xubuntu over kubuntu | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: depends on what you do and on what machine | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: thunar starts almost immediatelly, for example | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: while firefox is the same | |
| <ZeroCool> well, using a AMD64 bit laptop with 4000+ processor and X600 video card with 1GB of Ram | |
| <ZeroCool> it would seem that KDE environment in Kubuntu is not as fast as in Gentoo linux | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: possible | |
| <ZeroCool> Have heard that xubuntu is a start of a new environment, saving on resources... | |
| <ZeroCool> while, offering more advancements... in application | |
| *** Brunno is now known as cabuloso | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: it's definitely much lighter than kde or gnome | |
| <ZeroCool> but, will it surpass them | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: while having the most important features of gnome | |
| <ZeroCool> k | |
| <ZeroCool> KDE seems more like the WINDOWS envo, which can use allot of resources.. | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: surpass -- I don't think so. It's directed to different audience | |
| <ZeroCool> which is | |
| <ZeroCool> myself looking for a more unified linux (works all together) as one.. | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: try gnome | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: it's the most unified one | |
| <ZeroCool> ? | |
| <ZeroCool> don't like evolutions at all. | |
| <ZeroCool> you can't install it without it | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: why not? | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: you can uninstall it | |
| <ZeroCool> well, when I install 6.0.6.1 ubuntu, it was install by default | |
| <ZeroCool> really, read somewhere, in a forum about problems.. | |
| <ZeroCool> something about a database backend.. index or sorts.. | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: honest, I've done it. yu only need to leave the libraries | |
| <ZeroCool> that gnome uses | |
| <TheSheep> besides, what's the problem, you don't need to use it, you can even remove it from the menu | |
| <ZeroCool> so, just go into synaptic package installer, and select remove.. | |
| <ZeroCool> that should take care of it | |
| <ZeroCool> I like kmail allot.. | |
| <goober1010> thesheep: are there instuctions for doing this? should I wait until edgy eft? | |
| <TheSheep> goober1010: in edgy it's nothing special, on dapper you need to install the xgl and add a session for the gdm | |
| <ZeroCool> thesheep: the email clients are far and few for gnome.. | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: Thunderbird, Sylpheed, Mozilla suite, Seamonkey suite... | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: besides, who uses a GUI mail client? | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: those who can use text-mode clients directly on the servers, those who can't use www interfaces... | |
| <goober1010> thesheep: so if I wait for edgy, I can get the 3d desktop installed pretty easily? Cool. Will it work for xubuntu? | |
| <ZeroCool> umm, well I have used kmail ( like very much ) thunderbird too buggy, and forget seamonkey.. | |
| <ZeroCool> okay, tell me more about www interfaces.. | |
| <ZeroCool> I do get allot of attachments, from clients, that I need to review, adjust and resend quickly. | |
| <TheSheep> goober1010: yes | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: so basically you complain that there is no kmail for gnome? ;) | |
| <ZeroCool> well, its not just that... I like the way KDE thinks, right click search google via text string.. | |
| <ZeroCool> and what about KDE 4 | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: so you are just used to it -- switching to *anything* will be hard | |
| <ZeroCool> I guess you can call it work logic | |
| <ZeroCool> point click select action do | |
| <TheSheep> gnome has it totally different | |
| <ZeroCool> update remove resend | |
| <ZeroCool> kinda | |
| <TheSheep> well, I use mutt and I'm happy with it | |
| <TheSheep> I can interrupt reading or writing email at any time, go to work, log in, bring back the screen and continue | |
| <ZeroCool> ya, heard of that, and mh | |
| <ZeroCool> but you can you display graphic inline | |
| <TheSheep> it's for e-mail, not for graphics or web browsing | |
| <ZeroCool> but, today, things have change... its multimedia email | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: I have a rule in my procmail for such e-mails | |
| <TheSheep> "save in /dev/null" | |
| <ZeroCool> how many application together does it take to complete your email solution.. | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: let me count the ways ;) | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: about 20-30 | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: why do you ask? :3 | |
| <ZeroCool> well, its that unified question again.. | |
| <ZeroCool> less is more | |
| <TheSheep> the good think is that I can replace any of them with a different one | |
| <TheSheep> thing | |
| <ZeroCool> procmail sendmail | |
| <TheSheep> it's the unix philosophy -- make a program that does one thing good | |
| <TheSheep> and then join it with other programs to make more complicated things | |
| <ZeroCool> what is the linux philosophy ? | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: there is? | |
| <ZeroCool> "it just works" | |
| <TheSheep> "sometimes" | |
| <ZeroCool> <grin> | |
| <TheSheep> "where do you want to go to go to go to go..." | |
| <catalytic> has anyone here tried enlightenment as a windows manager? | |
| <ZeroCool> don't know.. but ubuntu is on the mark.. | |
| <ZeroCool> hoping it will stay ahead of the game | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: I think it's more like "tell me when something doesn't work, instead of hiding it and trying to resolve it automatically" | |
| <ZeroCool> true, | |
| <ZeroCool> however, with all the computer hardware types, that would not be easy. | |
| <TheSheep> that's why the new usplash worries me | |
| <ZeroCool> hmm | |
| <TheSheep> it just shows progress bar, no info about what's going on | |
| <ZeroCool> so, you don't know if something got loaded.. | |
| <TheSheep> "don't worry, the System will take care of you" ;) | |
| <ZeroCool> maybe a status window system check that pop up after booted to desktop with green lights for loaded, and red lights for not loaded. | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: why not just the good old messages? | |
| <ZeroCool> lights are more digitally correct | |
| <ZeroCool> as of today standards.. | |
| <ZeroCool> oops did I say that.. | |
| * TheSheep rolls eyes | |
| <TheSheep> ZeroCool: what if the lights break? | |
| <ZeroCool> well, you need to use a virtual screw driver... AND... part 2 friday | |

| <TheSheep> catalytic: and you use 'z' only if it's .tar.gz | |
| <TheSheep> catalytic: if it's just .tar, then you skip it | |
| <TheSheep> catalytic: and if it's .tar.bz2 then you use 'j' instead | |
| <catalytic> its a .gz | |
| <catalytic> ok | |

| <mac`> So... I have a problem with Xubuntu being very jerky. | |
| <mac`> If I hold down a key in a textarea, the character output has constant jerks, something like 1-2 seconds apart. | |
| <mac`> The same happens with moving the mouse. | |
| <PuMpErNiCkLe> Check a CPU monitor for spikes in CPU usage. | |
| <PuMpErNiCkLe> That's the most probable cause. | |
| <mac`> What software would I use for that? top doesn't say anything interesting (too low time resolution I'd think) | |
| <mac`> (Oh, and I'm very new to Ubuntu and haven't used Linux-based OSes much anyway) | |
| <PuMpErNiCkLe> There's a panel applet that shows a cpu usage graph and you can configure its update interval. | |
| <mac`> Okay | |
| <mac`> the panel applet doesn't display anything out-of-the-ordinary. | |
| <mac`> This should be worth mentioning... I made a small app in trying to find out the cause for this. | |
| <mac`> http://haikz.org/test.c | |
| <mac`> It counts time way slower than it should. | |
| <mac`> I got about 53 seconds in a minute on this box. | |
| <mac`> Another box here running at half the CPU frequency and memory (that's 400mhz and 128MB) does count to 60 fine (and it isn't jerky). | |
| <mac`> I used the alternate install disc on it, though | |
| <TooTallJones> X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169 | |
| <TooTallJones> Major opcode: 147 | |
| <TooTallJones> Minor opcode: 3 | |
| <TooTallJones> Resource id: 0x0 | |
| <TooTallJones> what's that? | |
| <mac`> I just ran it (test.c) again. 52 seconds in a minute | |
| <mac`> Actually, whatever is causing the jerkiness in this system is related to small bumps in CPU usage. | |
| <mac`> But they don't seem to be anything that could perioidically "overwhelm" the system to cause jerkiness. | |
| <TooTallJones> has anyone successfully run a cedega game fullscreen and had their keyboard work with cedega on a xubuntu install? | |
| <TooTallJones> mine just will not respond in fullscreen for games | |
| <TooTallJones> when I had installed from an ubuntu cd and was using gnome it worked fine. | |
| <TooTallJones> So I downloaded gnome wm last night, but no change. So i'm assuming it's the xubuntu install itself | |
