[00:27] SJr|Nbook: possibly you need to search round for some xorg.conf that will work for you. [00:27] SJr|Nbook: you talking about switching between monitors? or having desktop xinerama'd across the monitors.

[01:13] 4 [01:14] in 3 it's in the kcontrol [01:14] but i read that in 4 it's in task manager settings [01:14] if you can right-click on the correct bit of it.. (easier if you have only a couple of tasks).. it's in the options for the widget [01:14] problem: can't seem to access task manager settings anywhere [01:14] i have 4 tasks, and i have no idea where to right click =p [01:14] on the background of the task-manager === brady is now known as xyphor [01:15] You should see "Task Manager Settings" [01:15] anywhere i put my mouse on where tasks are, anywhere in that area [01:15] it automatically lights up the task [01:15] there seems to be no room for anything else [01:15] xevix: then don't click near a task. [01:15] ahhhh, i found space in between tasks [01:15] try on the top.. or almost the top. [01:15] :) [01:15] i tried the top, that was no good, but this'll do [01:15] man...... bad usability =p [01:15] thanks frogonwheels [01:15] np. [01:16] yeah.. there are a few things about that task manager that aren't great. [01:16] .. like if you have 20 tasks [01:16] I think there's a better one lying about - but maybe not quite ready for release. [01:16] i heard a new one for 4.2, yeah [01:17] Hi [01:22] I just updated my kubuntu to the latest 4.2 packages, and just got a plasma crash when resuming my laptop from standby: http://www.pastebin.ca/1290455 [01:24] I have been playing with Kubuntu on my new Netbook, and it's become clear to me that KDE hogs too much realstate on the screen, and too many of it's dialogs are too wide for it. What is are some other managers to try? [01:25] for a netbook i would probably use openbox [01:25] you realize that kde is not the same thing as kwin, right? [01:25] No I don't [01:26] I'm not talking just about the task bar, but all the settings screens and every dialog seems to be way too big [01:26] the task bar is not part of kwin either [01:27] the dialogs you are referring to are part of KDE. changing window managers wont change that [01:27] Sorry maybe I meant something instead of Window Manager, I meant something whatever KDE, Gnome, Fluxbox, etc... are [01:31] kde and gnome are desktop environments [01:31] kwin, metacity, and fluxbox are window managers [01:32] the window manager provides the titlebar and borders for your windows, and features like virtual desktops and shading [01:32] the window manager MAY have an integrated taskbar, panel, or dock of some sort, about half do [01:33] the desktop environment provides all sorts of other things, like application and device integration [01:33] you can use pypanel for a taskbar, fluxbox for your window manager, and kde for your desktop environment [01:33] or any other combination [01:34] your problems seem to be with KDE [01:34] gnome is the only other major desktop environment [01:34] there are a few others, far less featureful or mature [01:34] maybe a different skin would 'waste' less real estate? [01:35] Hmmmmm [01:35] try playing around with different themes [01:35] that sort of 'skin' affects kwin, which is the same sort of change you would get by changing window managers [01:35] Actually I'm just a moron, when I hooked up my external monitor, I thought it was shirniking to the native resolution, but it appears it wasn't [01:35] ah [01:35] All the dialog boxes seem to be fine on the actual screen so maybe not [01:36] if the dialogs are far too wide, you should look into changing the widget set and font size [01:36] or, try using the 'control panel' for your video card instead of the X settings [01:36] that was the advice I for [01:36] if the empty space around the content of the dialogs is the problem, then a different kwin theme or window manager is the best [01:42] where in ccsm do i make emerald the default windows manager? [01:43] sy, wrong channle [01:49] the wiki page for the kde 4.2 beta says not to file kubuntu bugs [01:49] so, where should I post info on my plasma crash after laptop resume bug? http://www.pastebin.ca/1290455 [01:54] <_45h_> hi all. i have Geode video chip and 800x480 screen resolution, but xorg can run only in 800x600. how to fix this? === tackat_dance is now known as tackat [01:59] _45h_, nvidia?

[02:47] I tried turning desktop effects off in the system preferences, the checkbox is unchecked, but I still have --replace and compiz running automatically; I tried installing fusion-icon, wouldn't start. I tried installing ccsm, was empty. I tried purging compiz-core, apt says it's not installed [02:48] KWin is also selected as the window manager in the session preferences [02:49] but I still have ksmserver --windowmanager /usr/bin/compiz coming up on boot [02:50] Is there any way to turn a .bin/.cue file into an .iso in kubuntu?

[03:08] frees up the space like it is supposed to be [03:08] yup [03:08] and /var/log [03:08] legodude: go to the console? [03:08] yeah, next time I will try that [03:08] lsof|fgrep "(deleted)" [03:08] it is usually when I have something important to do so I don't have time to mess with it [03:08] legodude: possibly have a console logged in.. just in case there isn't enough space to log in. [03:08] ok, this sucks, installed the nvidia driver now my resolution is 640x480 or something, help resetting it please ?

[03:09] I'll try that [03:09] i get a bunch of "no such process" and invalid arguments [03:09] also though, it seems to be correlated with kernel problems? [03:10] how do i reconfigure the screenresolution [03:10] robinr: so, that command will return files that are open, but have been deleted? [03:10] yes [03:10] wsgordon: try system preferences -> display [03:10] so they can be written to === |Firefishe| is now known as Firefishe [03:10] but will not show up in ls?

[03:10] exactly [03:11] that sounds like the right track, thanks [03:11] it always seems to happen really suddenly too [03:11] Renegade15 tried that [03:11] I can see now that my artsd has .xsession-errors open [03:12] that is a file that can become really big if some program runs amok [03:12] can anybody tell me where compiz is entered in the boot sequence? I can't get rid of it [03:13] uninstall it [03:13] I can't [03:13] according to apt, it's not even installed [03:13] anyone at all? [03:14] I could simply delete the binary, but then the boot sequence would likely complain, and, in the worst case, simply fail [03:14] Renegade15: replace it with an empty shell script :P [03:15] Renegade15- I remember having that problem. Let me see if I still have the file written down [03:15] I am sure my desktop will look most magnificent if I run true as the window manager :P [03:15] Renegade15- look for something like /etc/X11/Xsession.d/25enable-compiz [03:15] I installed compiz but the effects are not working [03:15] can anyone suggest what could be wrong? [03:16] go to system preferences, the sub-thing for desktops [03:16] should be top-left [03:16] check if the checkbox for desktop effects is checked [03:16] they are checked [03:16] are you sure particular effects are activated? [03:17] ooooooooooooooooooh [03:17] thank you SO MUCH Dragnslcr [03:17] anyone know of a 3d cad package?
