[12:40] ciro314: yeah ... just right click it and click "properties" and just add spaces to each side of the word in order to "pad" it and make it larger ... or you can make it smaller if you liek [12:40] ciro314: but i don't know of an actual "width" option [12:42] it is possible to set the width adding spaces " aplications " [12:42] i saw [12:42] yeah, but other than that there isn't an actual "set the width" feature [12:43] is it possible to set the screen resolution on login window ?? [12:44] ciro314: gdm will just default to the highest available in your xorg.conf [12:44] i want other resolution, not the highest [12:45] i will take a look at xorg.conf [12:45] okies [12:50] maxamillion: it defaults to the first one in xorg.conf, i believe [12:50] i could be wrong, of course. i often am. [12:50] rici: no, you are right [12:50] by the way, i am sure that at some point i could resize windows by grabbing the top edge of the frame. [12:51] but right now it only works with the left, right, and bottom edges [12:51] rici: i just said "highest" because when you allow dpkg to configure X for you, it puts the higher resolutions first [12:51] was i imagining things, or did my config get damaged. [12:51] maxamillion: yeah [12:51] rici: no ... i don't seem to be able to resize from the top of the window myself [12:52] on the 1440x900 wide-screen 21" monitor I have, the highest resolution is something higher, and it looks hideous [12:52] i had to insert the 1440x900 resolution manually in xorg.conf and put it first so it would be the default. i believe. [12:52] maxamillion: ah, i guess i was just imagining things. annoying. [12:52] :/ [12:53] when gvim switches from non-tabbed to tabbed, it makes its window higher [12:53] since it generally starts out at exactly the right size, that means that the command line is hidden [12:53] and it's really annoying to get it back. [12:53] i suppose it's a bug [12:55] rici: it might be .... i don't know that much about the autosizing of windows when reacting to programs like that so i would probably be a bad judge === soweto76 [n=jack@d226-43-189.home.cgocable.net] has joined #xubuntu === moparisthebest [n=FBI@cpe-69-133-96-111.woh.res.rr.com] has joined #xubuntu === Thug-life-tbh [n=Fr33sc4p@ACD45445.ipt.aol.com] has joined #xubuntu === Thug-life-tbh [n=Fr33sc4p@ACD45445.ipt.aol.com] has left #xubuntu [] === ubotu [n=ubotu@ubuntu/bot/ubotu] has joined #xubuntu === ciro314 [n=chatzill@48.Red-83-52-184.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has left #xubuntu [] === Howdy125 [n=Howdy125@c-76-22-82-68.hsd1.wa.comcast.net] has joined #xubuntu [01:24] maxamillion: through experimentation, i discovered that if i set guiheadroom to anything other than the default, then it resizes correctly (i.e. to the maximum available height, apparently regardless of the ghr setting.

[02:01] light, but enough to be annoying [02:01] <{uX}Vamp`DuneZzZ> o_O [02:01] is your refresh rates all messed up? [02:02] bordy did you try a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [02:02] every time I do that on my main comp I ruin it and have to reinstall. lol.

[02:04] it auto backs up anyway, that util. [02:04] Naughtyboy: you'll just have more than just the game trying to access the GPU. With XGL, things will try to be rendered twice. [02:04] Naughtyboy: The rendering path has more of an effect than the compositing manager, but yes, you will experience at least a small drop in video performance in games. [02:06] Pumpernickel, : OK..mabye I missunderstod it...but I read somewhrer in the forums that it would be possiblem to get AIGLX going with nvidia and that it would go easier on the system.. [02:06] when gaming e.t.c [02:06] bordy: It could just be the refresh rate. I had an issue like that, where if the refresh rate was 60Hz, because the powersupply wasn't 'clean', it would cause wavering lines running down the monitor. Changing it to 75Hz solved it. [02:07] Naughtyboy: Yeah, AIGLX works if you have the 9xxx series of nVidia drivers installed. [02:07] It's a better solution than Xgl, if you really want a compisited desktop.

[02:59] and it works pretty good [02:59] They are, but that won't happen in one day. [02:59] but since compiz is going to be the main in a couple of weeks :p [03:00] maybe more who knows :D [03:00] I hope they keep the end result gnome-free. [03:00] yep [03:00] what's so wrong with gnome? === kalikiana won't install no gnome libraries. [03:00] it is a crap that I have to install all those gnome libs for sfce [03:00] xfce* [03:00] kalikiana: It's slow.\ [03:00] Slick, We are on XFCE, not on Gnome [03:01] drewzf, What is slow? [03:01] yeah I know, I was just wondering what people had against it === grazie gnome has libraries that are resource hogs, kde is worse [03:02] but kde code is better :p [03:02] so what is the spec of the system you guys use for xubuntu? [03:02] Slick, Gnome libraries on non-gnome are a waste of resources, that'S it. Lots of apps include them although they don't need them at all. [03:03] amd64 1.8 GHz - 5122 megs - nvidia 64 megs [03:03] 512* ops [03:03] kde is better coded...but I don't like kde apart from a few well written apps [03:03] P4 3GHz 1GB RAM ATI 9800 128MB RAM :D [03:04] wow, isnt a p4 a bit of ovekill?

[03:06] gotta go cya later guys [03:06] I would like some ppc hardware but I don't like apple design (an ibm power workstation or so would be great) [03:06] Slick: doesn't matter whether you have a powerful machine or not...xfce is good (e17 will be good too one day) === grazie thanks kalikiana ... I usually get growls [03:07] yeah I love xfce, but I don't understand why you would spend that much on a machine in the first place if you were going to run a quick OS like xfce [03:08] ihmo computers are about applications for most people [03:08] Just because you can waste power doesn't mean you should [03:08] Slick, Let me think.. video encoding, graphics editing, computing for folding@home.... [03:08] (or you should at least be free to choose what to waste it on) [03:08] fair enough === soweto76 [n=jack@d226-43-189.home.cgocable.net] has joined #xubuntu [03:08] I'm gonna have to try out folding@home [03:09] I admit folding@home is not a perfect example since it does weird things sometimes and takes more cpu than it should. [03:09] But I run it most of the time. === grazie feels left out....folding@home? [03:11] grazie, http://folding.stanford.edu/ [03:12] kalikiana: thanks [03:12] the PS3 has folding@home as well [03:13] I like to give free cpu away, it fits well with giving away donations and open source. === Laibsch [n=Laibsch@p3160-ipbf1007marunouchi.tokyo.ocn.ne.jp] has joined #xubuntu [03:14] how does the app tell if the cpu cycles arent being used? surely it will slow down your other aps? [03:14] the power of *nix is you have complete control so long as you know how to do it [03:16] or if don't know you have man pages, forums, irc, etc [03:16] cool [03:17] nice doesn't work completely as it should with the current scheduler though [03:17] whats *nix, is that unix/linux? [03:17] yeah === grazie bows to h3sp4wn's better knowledge [03:18] h3sp4wn, Do you know any more about this schedule problem? I hate having to close folding because of that. === cga [n=cga@213-140-6-101.ip.fastwebnet.it] has joined #xubuntu [03:19] kalikiana: I know that you won't be able to fix it without building your own kernel [03:20] h3sp4wn, So is there being worked on a solution that goes into the official kernel? A link to an explanation or a patch would be very interesting. [03:20] kalikiana: either staircase (CFQ) or staircase (deadline) [03:20] from ck will work now [03:21] kalikiana: or http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/13/180 [03:21] (I wouldn't try that yet though) [03:22] h3sp4wn, Thank you so much, I did not know if it was a general problem. I'll check that in a while :) === kalikiana loves C for its insane errors. Like error: invalid storage class for function browser_new and error: expected declaration or statement at end of input. Actually I had forgotten to close a switch. :P === grazie is amazed that C still hasn't been superceded for many tasks...but is also quite pleased [03:33] Hah, C is the best language ever existed, apart from Python where it fits. [03:39] na java is superior to any other language, I'd run an OS in java if I could [03:44] java is a beautiful language....shame it still hasn't got a good native compiler...and you can write a large part of an OS in Java if you want to [03:45] haskell is nicer than all for me (just started looking at it) === grazie not yet looked [03:45] brilliant how you can prove things to be correct so easily [03:46] You can compile it to C source also [03:49] Why write Haskell and compile to C? Stay with C in the first place. :) [03:50] C has many traps :) [03:50] I hate java for example because of its idiotic syntax rules. [03:50] The same reason not to like firefox xul apps internals. [03:51] It's a pain to figure out how things go when a bunch of form factors can distract you extremely far from the original problem. [03:58] kalikiana: writing multithreaded C is very difficult (for me) - If I could do the same stuff in C I would. (maybe one day) - better than python in every respect though === William [n=chatzill@c211-30-149-97.rivrw4.nsw.optusnet.com.au] has joined #xubuntu [03:59] Hi, how can I enable ntfs read/write for a usb disk ?

I am focusing on gui/gtk programs because that is what I am using. Gtk has its own threads and I don't interfere there. When I need console apps I don't usually need threads either. So... that's my pov. [04:19] h3sp4wn, I think powerful computing, e.g. scientific, is a case for threads.
