| Davidmp | Hey what gdm is this? http://ubuntustudio.org/files/US3.png | 17:59 |
| holstein | hey Davidmp | 17:59 |
| * holstein looking | 17:59 | |
| holstein | AFAIK | 18:00 |
| holstein | thats just the ubuntu studio themeing | 18:00 |
| holstein | applied to the gnome login | 18:00 |
| Davidmp | ok | 18:00 |
| Davidmp | do i need to run a terminal command to get it? | 18:00 |
| holstein | i think there is a newer one now | 18:01 |
| holstein | with plymouth?? | 18:01 |
| holstein | whatever the recent changes were | 18:01 |
| Davidmp | oh | 18:01 |
| Davidmp | newer :/ | 18:01 |
| Davidmp | looked better lol | 18:01 |
| holstein | Davidmp: there are 2 splash screen packages for ubuntustudio | 18:01 |
| holstein | in the repos | 18:02 |
| holstein | and one of them doesnt work anymore | 18:02 |
| holstein | and i think thats the one | 18:02 |
| Davidmp | ah ok | 18:02 |
| holstein | im sure there is a way though | 18:02 |
| Davidmp | i can dig out another ubuntu studio gdm i guess | 18:02 |
| holstein | you could downgrade a bunch of stuff | 18:02 |
| holstein | but i wouldnt do that | 18:02 |
| Davidmp | yeah | 18:03 |
| holstein | Davidmp: the themeing is really nice :) | 18:03 |
| holstein | and yeah, that was slick | 18:03 |
| Davidmp | yeah i love ubuntu studio one of the best distros | 18:03 |
| Davidmp | softwares is the best | 18:03 |
| Davidmp | i have one more question why does my mouse keep moving on its own? | 18:04 |
| holstein | hmmm | 18:04 |
| holstein | that aint good | 18:04 |
| holstein | i got a friend with an old thinkpad | 18:05 |
| holstein | and the little stick in the middle of the keyboard is dying | 18:05 |
| holstein | so he has to disable the hardware in the bios | 18:05 |
| holstein | and use an external mouse | 18:05 |
| holstein | Davidmp: sounds like hardware | 18:05 |
| Davidmp | mm odd | 18:05 |
| holstein | is it a touchpad? | 18:05 |
| Davidmp | yes | 18:05 |
| Davidmp | i have a external mouse to | 18:06 |
| holstein | Davidmp: are you dual booting anything? | 18:06 |
| Davidmp | i use it for zooming etc. | 18:06 |
| Davidmp | yes windows and ubuntu studio | 18:06 |
| holstein | is it funky in windows? | 18:06 |
| Davidmp | no | 18:06 |
| holstein | hmmm | 18:06 |
| holstein | Davidmp: i would try and isolate the problem | 18:06 |
| holstein | to either the touchpad | 18:06 |
| holstein | or the external mouse | 18:06 |
| holstein | and start poking around about the drivers | 18:06 |
| holstein | cause that aint right | 18:07 |
| Davidmp | it seems to go to links which is really annoying | 18:07 |
| holstein | you get more options | 18:07 |
| holstein | like 2 and 3 finger taps | 18:07 |
| holstein | and the middle mouse | 18:07 |
| holstein | button | 18:07 |
| Davidmp | yeah | 18:07 |
| holstein | usually takes some tweaking | 18:07 |
| holstein | or time to get used to it | 18:08 |
| Davidmp | how do i disable the thinkpad? O.o | 18:08 |
| holstein | i miss all that now | 18:08 |
| Davidmp | o | 18:08 |
| holstein | when im in front of windows or OSX | 18:08 |
| holstein | anyways | 18:08 |
| holstein | Davidmp: so you unpluf the external mouse | 18:08 |
| holstein | and it still does it? | 18:08 |
| Davidmp | yes | 18:08 |
| holstein | well, thats enough then | 18:09 |
| holstein | i would run lspci | 18:09 |
| Davidmp | thinkpad's shot? | 18:09 |
| holstein | i would think if the pad was bad | 18:09 |
| holstein | it would do that in windows too | 18:09 |
| Davidmp | hm | 18:09 |
| Davidmp | do you think it might have something to do with compiz? | 18:10 |
| holstein | could | 18:10 |
| holstein | you can turn that off easy enough | 18:10 |
| holstein | and tesxt | 18:10 |
| holstein | test* | 18:10 |
| holstein | but i bet you need to blacklist a module or enable a backport | 18:10 |
| holstein | or both | 18:10 |
| holstein | thats one of those fiddly things | 18:10 |
| holstein | i got the same kind of thing going on | 18:11 |
| holstein | i got an older desktop | 18:11 |
| Davidmp | yeahh it still does it.. | 18:11 |
| Davidmp | :/ | 18:11 |
| holstein | im making a media center PC out of it | 18:11 |
| Davidmp | lol nice | 18:11 |
| holstein | and the sound card is not recognized | 18:11 |
| holstein | im going to spend about 20 minutes on it | 18:11 |
| Davidmp | :p | 18:12 |
| holstein | then im just going to disable it in the bios and get another card from my stack of spard parts :) | 18:12 |
| Davidmp | :p | 18:12 |
| Davidmp | sounds fun | 18:12 |
| Davidmp | lol | 18:12 |
| holstein | thats the thing with linux | 18:12 |
| holstein | you can do anything with it you want | 18:12 |
| Davidmp | yep | 18:13 |
| holstein | but figuring out how to do it can be challenging | 18:13 |
| Davidmp | its worth it | 18:13 |
| holstein | if i was installing windows on it | 18:14 |
| holstein | i bet i could find all the drivers i need | 18:14 |
| holstein | maybe | 18:14 |
| holstein | but they totally wouldnt be 'in the kernel' | 18:14 |
| holstein | i mean, *usually* these days, everything is out-of-the-box | 18:14 |
| holstein | i just got some funky old hardware | 18:15 |
| Davidmp | yea | 18:15 |
| Davidmp | so hard to choose usplash -.- | 18:17 |
| holstein | just remember how long you actually spend looking at it ;) | 18:17 |
| Davidmp | lol | 18:18 |
| holstein | hey | 18:27 |
| holstein | that was easy | 18:27 |
| holstein | for some reason the mute button was on after install :) | 18:28 |
| holstein | too easy | 18:28 |
| maheanuu | Iaorana Ia Oe, paradise is a frame of mind | 22:31 |
| maheanuu | As usual, this noobs got a question | 22:32 |
| holstein | maheanuu: whats up? | 22:35 |
| maheanuu | I would very much like to be able to run "Studio" and have wifi enabled as my ethernet run is next to impossible to do, and I would also like to disable it if I am working in Sound. | 22:36 |
| maheanuu | Hi mike, and thanks for the last help you provided I really appreciate your taking the time with me | 22:36 |
| holstein | :) | 22:37 |
| holstein | maheanuu: i wouldnt worry about it | 22:37 |
| holstein | if you got a prettty serious box | 22:37 |
| holstein | the network manager will probably be cool running along with JACK | 22:37 |
| holstein | especially if you have the network disabled while your tracking | 22:37 |
| maheanuu | I believe in thanking those who help | 22:38 |
| holstein | maheanuu: did you install the gnome network applet? | 22:38 |
| maheanuu | I cannot find network manager | 22:38 |
| holstein | to get your wireless working? | 22:38 |
| holstein | maheanuu: well, you should know | 22:38 |
| holstein | there is a reason why its not included | 22:38 |
| holstein | but you can install it easy enough | 22:38 |
| holstein | if your online | 22:38 |
| maheanuu | No I think that I am TSTO these days | 22:38 |
| holstein | youcan search for nm-applet ?? | 22:39 |
| * holstein checking on that | 22:39 | |
| maheanuu | Yes and is saw that it interferes with the sound studio, but I want to disable that if I am using sound | 22:39 |
| holstein | i think you'll find all the packages you need in network-manager-gnome | 22:41 |
| holstein | maheanuu: its rather unlikely that it will interfere | 22:42 |
| holstein | on a modern box | 22:42 |
| holstein | whats wrong with your current set-up maheanuu ? | 22:42 |
| holstein | if your able to get online and all | 22:42 |
| maheanuu | it tells me that it is already running | 22:43 |
| holstein | nm-applet? | 22:43 |
| holstein | maheanuu: its probably up there near the time | 22:43 |
| maheanuu | yes | 22:43 |
| holstein | maheanuu: was this an upgrade? | 22:43 |
| holstein | from vanilla? | 22:43 |
| holstein | or maybe you added that package | 22:44 |
| holstein | either way | 22:44 |
| maheanuu | only thing there is the pulse audio applett | 22:44 |
| holstein | i wouldnt worry about it | 22:44 |
| holstein | hmmm | 22:44 |
| holstein | maheanuu: what disc did you use to install? | 22:44 |
| maheanuu | Yes, I was running 10.04 and changed to Studio 10.04 | 22:44 |
| maheanuu | The 64 bit one | 22:45 |
| holstein | well, i dont know where your applet went | 22:45 |
| maheanuu | heh | 22:45 |
| maheanuu | me either | 22:45 |
| holstein | i think its attached to some other stuff now | 22:45 |
| holstein | in lucid | 22:45 |
| maheanuu | I am a rather old and in the way user, but trying like the devil to gain some knowledge and pass it on to people on this island so that they get a little further into the stream | 22:46 |
| holstein | right on | 22:47 |
| holstein | did you install all the themeing too? | 22:47 |
| maheanuu | I have a half dozen professors from the Lycee here who are very interested in forming a lug and teaching the kids/adults linux including themselves... we are just getting ready for our first meeting | 22:47 |
| holstein | that applet is running somewhere | 22:47 |
| holstein | if you running nm-applet | 22:47 |
| holstein | and its says its running | 22:47 |
| holstein | its somewhere | 22:47 |
| holstein | maheanuu: NICE | 22:48 |
| holstein | i just sent an email out to my local LUG list :) | 22:48 |
| maheanuu | is there any way to find out where it is running | 22:48 |
| maheanuu | where are you mike | 22:48 |
| maheanuu | I think i asked you the other day but apparently forgot | 22:48 |
| holstein | ashveille north carolina US | 22:49 |
| holstein | maheanuu: some panel should be displaying it | 22:49 |
| maheanuu | I saw some of your posts in the forums... Thats rite... I cant remember my name thiese days | 22:49 |
| maheanuu | Is there a command to see where it might be running or to see what it is associated with? | 22:50 |
| holstein | well, its associated with network manager | 22:51 |
| holstein | and its just always been there :/ | 22:51 |
| holstein | maheanuu: laptop right? | 22:53 |
| holstein | is the batter icon up there? | 22:53 |
| holstein | battery* | 22:54 |
| maheanuu | Ok, I will look in networking and networks and see if I can find it in there... If it is running, then it should be able to see my wifi router shouldn't it? | 22:54 |
| maheanuu | No, there is no battery icon anywhere | 22:54 |
| holstein | maheanuu: OK | 22:56 |
| holstein | right click on the panel | 22:56 |
| holstein | and select 'add to panel' | 22:56 |
| holstein | find 'notification area' | 22:56 |
| holstein | and add it | 22:56 |
| maheanuu | I click on add and nothing is happening or at least it isn't accepting the "add" | 22:58 |
| holstein | try adding something else and make sure | 22:59 |
| holstein | its probably up there | 22:59 |
| holstein | you might want to log out and back in | 22:59 |
| holstein | i see a bug report about it | 22:59 |
| holstein | and several different soloutiongs | 22:59 |
| holstein | solotions* | 22:59 |
| holstein | based on other variables | 23:00 |
| maheanuu | Log out of Ubuntu then back in? | 23:00 |
| holstein | yup | 23:01 |
| maheanuu | I tried to select several others and nothing happens | 23:01 |
| maheanuu | Ok bbiab | 23:01 |
| holstein | maheanuu: | 23:01 |
| holstein | hey | 23:01 |
| maheanuu | Yes | 23:01 |
| holstein | did you do something funky to your panels? | 23:01 |
| holstein | gnome is expecting a panel | 23:01 |
| holstein | to put those in | 23:01 |
| maheanuu | No not to my knowledge, but that doesn't mean much | 23:01 |
| holstein | hmmm | 23:02 |
| holstein | maheanuu: well, try that logout | 23:02 |
| maheanuu | 'K | 23:02 |
| holstein | hmmm | 23:18 |
| holstein | that aint good :/ | 23:18 |
