[02:59] it says desktop [02:59] s/loging/login/ [02:59] where can i install video drivers? [02:59] jockey-gtk [02:59] arand: and then? [03:01] Install if available, but it's going to be hard to start from al live instance since it needs restarting to take effect, unless oyu are lucky and can just get by with restarting x/gdm .. [03:01] arand: No properietary drivers are in use on this system. [03:01] Alex--: What graphics card do you have? [03:01] i dont know [03:01] onboard [03:01] Then it's something else I'd reckon. [03:01] I don't know, I'm afraid. [03:02] :( [03:03] You could try going into software centre and preferences, enable universe&multiverse form software sources, and see what jockey says after that... [03:03] i already did do [03:03] updates > settings [03:04] But if you have an onboard card there normally aren't any additional drivers... [03:04] yeah i know [03:04] So you are able to run compiz?

[03:16] Right, that might be your answer... video drivers are not providing acceleration enough for unity... [03:17] and how to fix it? [03:17] Which I've no idea how to fix when it comes to onboard graphics, you might want to look around launchpad for bugs regarding your specific card. === Guest14861 is now known as LjL-Temp [03:18] ok [03:18] I'm off, good luck === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest28100 [03:18] thanks, bye [03:19] should it work when I insert my graphical card?

[03:22] Alex--: You can see if the open source driver will work but the only driver out that supports xserver 1.10 is a beta that's only for newer nvidia cards [03:23] Alex--: What card do you have? [03:23] Nvidia GeForce 9600GT [03:23] can run gta iv and all that games [03:23] Alex--: Same problem there, you'd have to manually install the beta driver [03:23] but i dont have it inserted in my pc [03:23] aka lolnvidia [03:23] ?

Just can't install libgtk3 [17:48] Installing packages from it broke themeing of my system. [17:48] Including GDM [17:48] Yeah thats prob becuase libgtk3 won't install :P [17:49] It installed here.

[17:51] Might ppa-purge and jhbuild [18:08] IN unity launcher - (using narwhal but i don't think this is a narwhal-specific issue) when I resize a window out of maximized it defaults to the upper-left corner of the screen. due to the launcher button in that same corner I'm unable to reach the min-resize-max buttons to or the titlebar in order to move the window. is there a workaround for this? [18:09] theperfecttaco, do you have compizconfg-settings-manager installed? [18:09] theperfecttaco, first I should ask if you are using the 3d environment for Unity [18:09] yes and yes [18:10] theperfecttaco, :) ok open ccsm and click on the Unity plugin and enable autohide for the launcher [18:11] coz_: that's my current setting. the resize buttons are in that upper corner though so when i mouseover the upper left it shows the launcher rather than letting me access those buttons [18:11] ooo [18:11] theperfecttaco, an if you disable autohide...what happens? [18:11] is this could not "calculate the upgrade" bug is resolved yet ? [18:12] Volkodav, you mean from 10.10 to 11.04 upgrade? [18:12] no [18:13] coz_: with autohide disabled, basically the same thing [18:13] theperfecttaco, crap... [18:13] theperfecttaco, mm I dont know then [18:13] theperfecttaco, is this on a netbook or desktop system [18:14] coz_: i'm thinking it's just one of those issues that's going to have to wait for the developers, ha. at least i can access "close" from the file menu, in most cases. i'm on a laptop [18:15] theperfecttaco, ah ok,, have you thought of using classic gnome with or without effects? [18:16] coz_: when i'm in classic mode everything is as normal. i like unity enough to just deal with the occasional inconvenience, i suppose [18:17] i wonder if there's any way to change the default position of a window on resize [18:18] theperfecttaco, not sure ,, I dont think compiz's settings are going to help... [18:20] coz_, i don't think so, i've spent the past few hours playing around in compiz and don't remember seeing any settings like that. staying away from compiz for a while, it's crashed my system about ten times so far today - if it happens again i' might start throwing stuff [18:22] theperfecttaco, :) yes I have heard of compiz crashing in Unity more often than not lately [18:24] coz_, it causes unity to close and disables the keyboard. not fun.

[18:36] in the graphic installer and even in the live CD it hangs up at the point where it says 2,6 GB harddrive space (+) internet (+) [18:37] and in the alternate after setting the time zone, [18:37] coz_: right i think it wants libindicator3 [18:37] libindicator2 is old [18:38] Right time to go back to installing gnome-shell [18:38] the ppa doesn't work so following jhbuil on the natty forum [18:45] hm, does nobody have an idea? btw, is there any difference between the alpha 3 and the daily builds? except that in the daily builds some packages are newer?

[18:50] poplu: Sorry, just a typo - any USB devices [18:51] hmm, that should work - when the installer hangs does the rest of the machine hang or just the installer [18:52] just the installer, in the graphical, I still can press Cancel [18:53] np ;) just wasnt sure wether it may is something special usb or so :D [18:55] poplu: In that case I think there is a log that you can look at, or start it in a shell [18:58] poplu: Check /var/log/syslog for anything interesting, also try running ubuiqity from a shell [19:22] i want to use alpha 3,can i use it like live usb [19:23] so that it doesnot mesh my system is live mode is ok ao i have to wait a month to use it [19:27] jiltdil: sure, should work [19:27] jiltdil: unity will only work though if your graphics driver supports OpenGL (3D) out of the box [19:28] yofel: actually some one of my frnd instal lit but it makes the system slow and most of prograams didn't work so i think it is better to use it in live mode [19:28] yofel:how to check about this graphics === Guest83456 is now known as LjL-Temp [19:29] probably best to just boot it and find out - what graphics card do you have? === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest97443 [19:29] nvidia [19:31] yofel: model:GeForce 9400 GT should it support OpenGL [19:31] ah, I don't know if nouveau will work there - but if you make a persistent usb driver you can probably install the nvidia driver on the usb driver [19:32] *usb drive [19:32] nvidia showing openGL option [19:33] the nvidia driver works fine, I just never tried that on an USB live disk - should probably work [19:33] yofel:thanks.tell me that is 11.04 is a 3d like OS [19:34] well, unity uses compiz, so you need to have working opengl to use unity [19:47] not particularly 3d [19:48] penguin42:not understood plz xplain [19:49] jiltdil: Well even with unity there aren't actually 3d things on the desktop, it just uses GL to do some of the work [19:49] penguin42:it means many application uses this [19:50] penguin42:may u plz tell me my nvidia GeForce 9400 GT supports openGL or not so i use 11.04 [19:51] sorry, I don't do Nvidia [19:53] I know my 8600gt supports it, so with proprietary drivers I would assume so. [19:55] jiltdil: it does with proprietary drivers - it's just that those aren't installed out of the box and nouveau will probably not be enough for unity. So you'll have to install the drivers and reboot if you want to try unity [19:56] yofel:how to do this any help1 [19:57] jiltdil: make sure you make the usb driver have a persistent part in Usb creator - then install the nvidia drivers after booting it [19:57] that should work I think, not sure [19:58] yofel:should i install nvida in live mode if i want touse 11.04 in live mode? [20:00] jiltdil: yes, the driver needs to be installed after entering live mode - if nouveau doesn't work with unity on your card you should get usual gnome - then install the drivers, reboot and hope for the best [20:02] "you should get usual gnome" don't understood plz xplain [20:04] thanx to all ! good night [20:05] how do adjust natty screen configuration to installation defaults ? i did not nuke my old maverick leftovers [20:14] is there minmal cd with natty ?

[20:32] penguin42: is there anyway to try the bleeding edge drivers from live cd [20:32] hmm not sure from livecd, it's quite a lot of packages [20:33] penguin42: I got these problems on kubuntu. should I check with ubuntu as well? [20:34] apparle: You could; the drivers will be the same, it's just a matter of whether you hit the same problems with the gnome window managers; my guess is that it'll breka just as badly if you turn on gnome desktop effects/compiz [20:34] penguin42: and how to install alpha on wubi [20:34] penguin42: the same procedure works.... running wubi.exe in the image? [20:35] penguin42: what about the wubi installation [20:35] don't know about wubi, I don't do windows [20:36] penguin42: I also don't use it much. but it is good for testing, don't have to do the hassle of partitioning [20:45] anyone want to help test faster boot times? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1686699 [20:46] my boot times on this machine are dominated by a bug somewhere anyway so probably won't help [20:55] coz_, how install minimal gnome with netinstall ,sudo aptitude install gnome-core ?
