LLStarksor remove its config files00:43
DaekdroomLLStarks, what's wrong with it?00:43
DaekdroomAs far as I know, the only thing you can edit is its behaviour (never hide, autohide etc) and the launchers00:44
LLStarksi want to restore default icons00:44
LLStarksand there's no software center icon00:45

RawChid Hi, I'm translating Ubuntu. Can anybody tell me what "Apps" are?10:00
Tm_Tapplications10:00
RawChidAre those the same as "Applications"10:00
RawChidThese words are used in Unity and I thought about iPhone/iPad Apps.10:00
RawChidExamples: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/unity/+pots/unity/nl/+translate?show=untranslated10:01
Tm_TApps is just shorthand for Applications, same pretty much everywhere10:01
RawChidYeah, I was aware of that. But just to be sure10:02
RawChidIs there a reason to switch to using the word "App" instead of Applications?10:02
Tm_Tit's shorter, and widely used shorthand10:04
Tm_Tcan't think of any other reason, but cannot think of any reason why not either10:04
RawChidWell, for me (as a Dutch guy) it's a bit confusing.10:05
RawChidWe haven't a shorter translation for it, so in Dutch it'll remains "Application"10:05

alexanbjin unity alpha 3 functionality to resize the dash was added10:41
alexanbjbut how do i do that? it fills the entire view here and theres nothing to grab in the bottom right corner10:41
callaghanalexanbj: afaik, on netbooks it's always fullscreen10:42
callaghanalexanbj: otherwise, there should be a button to drag at the lower right corner...10:42
alexanbjaha, so that's why10:43
alexanbjbut laptop != netbook? :p10:43
callaghanalexanbj: it depends on the screen resolution; my netbook has 1024x600 ;)10:45
callaghanalexanbj: here the dash is fullscreen by default; otherwise, it should look like the pictures here, and you should be able to resize it: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/ubuntu-11-04-alpha-3-released/10:46

insanity99hey guys, is unity optional?17:41
ior3kinsanity99: in what sense?17:42
insanity99can i still use gnome17:42
IdleOnethe classic desktop, yes.17:42
insanity99unity isn't for me17:42
ior3kinsanity99: yup, just choose "classic desktop" as your session17:42
ior3kI'm still using gnome, too, but I'll probably jump to unity-2d17:43
insanity99ok, think they will be slowly phasing it out or gnome will have continued support?17:43
ior3kI hear it supports xmonad17:43
ior3kwell, gnome2 will be discontinued at some point17:44
ior3kI think ubuntu will still provide gnome3 support17:44
ior3kfor the record, I think developing unity was a great move17:46
insanity99yeah, i love gnome. with gnome i need no desktop shortcuts, i can find anything i need real quick17:46
insanity99really? why? i dont hate it or anything, just want to know your opinion]17:46
ior3kbecause they're being bold enough to try new things17:47
DaekdroomGNOME3 is not going to be included in Ubuntu 11.0417:47
DaekdroomGnome Shell (which is only part of Gnome 3, not all of it) will be available in the repos in the future17:47
ior3koh, from reading Mark's posts I got the impression it would17:47
ior3kI'm not the most informed person about all things Ubuntu, though17:48
DaekdroomAll Gnome apps are still 2.32 in 11.0417:48
ior3kDaekdroom: that's due to stability concerns, right? I assume Gnome3 will eventually be included?17:48
Daekdroomior3k, not in 11.0417:49
insanity99aint broken, dont fix it i guess17:49
ior3kright, I mean after that17:49
DaekdroomIn 11.10 they will, iirc17:49

gordonjcphello22:48
gordonjcphow do I put the menu bar back into the app windows, in 11.04?22:48
Daekdroomgordonjcp, are you using unity?22:48
gordonjcpDaekdroom: I have no idea22:49
DaekdroomRiiight. Do you have the sidebar launcher?22:49
gordonjcpyes22:49
gordonjcpit's actually quite like a Mac lying on its side22:49
DaekdroomThat means you're using Unity, and you can't move the menu bar back to window apps in unity, for now atleast.22:50
gordonjcpugh22:50
DaekdroomYou can move back to Classic GNOME, tho22:50
DaekdroomAll you have to do is logout and pick "Classic gnome" in the bottom bar before you enter your password22:50
gordonjcpis moving the menu bar back to the window likely to come along in Unity?22:50
Daekdroomgordonjcp, not sure22:50
gordonjcptbh the whole "menu bar stuck to the top of the screen" is what's kept me from being able to use Mac OS22:51
gordonjcpcan the launcher go at the bottom?22:51
DaekdroomNope.22:51
gordonjcpyeah, I noticed22:52
gordonjcpit hard-locked the machine when I dragged it22:53
gordonjcpprobably won't stick with Unity then, I've got about ten years of muscle-memory wired up for a dock at the bottom of the screen22:54
gordonjcphow do I open more than one terminal in Unity?22:56
gordonjcpapart from wave the mouse around until the menu appears, then File->Open Terminal22:57
gordonjcpsurely if double-clicking the launcher icon launches one, double-clicking again should launch another22:57
DaekdroomThe other easiest way is using Dash.22:57
DaekdroomYou can file a bug asking for that, really.22:58
gordonjcpah, right22:58
gordonjcpno firebug in FF422:58
gordonjcpbye22:58
gordonjcpI don't understand Unity23:14
gordonjcppresumably it's designed for people cleverer than me23:14
coz_gordonjcp,  :)  I doubt it23:14
DaekdroomThere are a lot of stuff I don't like about Unity, but none involves that23:15
gordonjcpcoz_: maybe it's designed for people who have never used a computer and therefore have no preconceived ideas about how desktops and applications work23:15
coz_gordonjcp,  what unity should be is a neatly designed interface for a netbook which also means a small monitor/screen23:15
gordonjcpcoz_: I've been trying for ten minutes to bring a window to the foreground23:15
gordonjcpI can't figure out how to do it23:16
coz_gordonjcp,  it should be as simple as clicking the window23:16
gordonjcpcoz_: I can't click it, it's behind the browser23:16
gordonjcpif I click the terminal icon in the side bar, they appear, but then they disappear again when I click anything else23:16
gordonjcpand the browser disappears too23:16
coz_gordonjcp,  if you click upper panel...does it lest the opend windows  or if you hit scale or expo ‌ compiz23:17
gordonjcpit's like one of those puzzle games where you've got to turn off all the lights, but pressing each button turns some off and some on23:17
coz_does it list them rather23:17
gordonjcpthe bar at the top?23:17
Daekdroomgordonjcp, it gets so easier when you learn the keyboard shortcuts23:17
coz_gordonjcp,  let me log of on the other system and bring up unity ..hold on23:17
gordonjcpnothing happens if I click on it23:17
gordonjcpalt-f2 doesn't bring up a run box23:18
DaekdroomThat one is getting fixed soon23:18
gordonjcphmmm23:18
gordonjcpthis is too hard23:18
gordonjcpoh great, it's obliterated menu.lst23:19
gordonjcpnow I can't even dual-boot23:19
coz_gordonjcp,  you can temporarily install grun and set that with a keybinding23:19
gordonjcpoh, no - it just creates its on /boot and doesn't bother to mount mine23:21
gordonjcp*own23:21
gordonjcpokay, so I need to reinstall grub then23:22
coz_gordonjcp, mm  ytou are correct about several opened windows... I cant find a way to bring       one forward here either23:22
yofel_shouldn't happen as long as /boot is properly in fstab23:22
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
gordonjcpyofel: I can't tell if it is or not, /etc/fstab is all full of UUIDs23:22
yofelgordonjcp: any reason you were still using grub1 ?23:23
gordonjcpyofel: yes23:23
yofelgordonjcp: sudo blkid will list all UUIDs23:23
gordonjcpI rarely use Ubuntu23:23
gordonjcpand that's the only thing that uses grub1 dodgyness23:23
coz_gordonjcp,  oh wait... just click on the icon in the Launcher to bring the window forward into focuss23:24
gordonjcpcoz_: right, but then it closes all the other windows23:24
coz_gordonjcp,  no it pushes them into the background ... at least it does here23:24
DaekdroomIt pushes them into the background here23:24
gordonjcpcoz_: hm, it closes firefox and leaves the terminal windows open here23:25
coz_gordonjcp,  try clicking the firefox icon again23:25
gordonjcpright, anyway, short of zeroing out the disk and starting from scratch, how do I get grub1 back?23:25
gordonjcpcoz_: that plops firefox over everything again, and I'm back where I started23:25
coz_gordonjcp,  you would have to reinstall via a live cd23:25
gordonjcpoh, great23:25
gordonjcpI knew I'd regret this ;-)23:26
coz_gordonjcp,  well on a netbook system there is only so much room ... so much realestate23:26
coz_gordonjcp,  thus the reason for global menu23:26
gordonjcpcoz_: so why are they pushing a netbook WM for a desktop?23:26
coz_gordonjcp,  or you can change sessions  to either classic gnome  or classic gnome (no effects)23:26
gordonjcpI'm increasingly concerned about some of the design decisions in Ubuntu and Gnome23:26
coz_gordonjcp,  it is not designed for desktop,,, global menu is useless on a monitor larger than 15"23:27
gordonjcpcoz_: so why is it the default?23:27
yofelunity is a ubuntu only decision - I personally haven't tried gnome3 yet23:27
coz_and completely dumb on dual monitors23:27
gordonjcpso is it unity, or gnome 2 in 11.04?23:28
yofelboth23:28
coz_gordonjcp,  well it is probably default because of the new design and implimentation of compiz 0.9.x  replacing mutter,,  and because the previous netbook used mutter which was a resouce hog23:28
DaekdroomGNOME 2 Apps + Unity as a Shell23:28
yofelyou can choose at login23:28
coz_resource23:28
DaekdroomGnome Shell looks sooo neat23:28
DaekdroomToo bad it's unstable.23:28
coz_gordonjcp,  I personally dont use Unity  nor do I like gnome shell23:28
coz_gordonjcp,  I have a dual monitor system23:29
gordonjcpcoz_: I don't even use Ubuntu, most of the time23:29
gordonjcpit's too complicated23:29
Daekdroomcoz_, I didn't use Gnome Shell much because it messed up everything, but what's wrong with it?23:29
coz_gordonjcp, oh !  complicated?/ wow thats the first time I heard that :")23:29
DaekdroomWhat bothers me most about Unity is how it's done.23:29
gordonjcpcoz_: it's a PITA to set up23:29
DaekdroomIt uses images everywhere. Fullscreen Dash is slow as hell23:30
gordonjcpcoz_: I'm annoyed about this grub2 thing; it's a bit bloody rude just flattening someone's boot sector without asking23:30
yofelgordonjcp: it's a PITA to configure (that's why I personally use KDE) but it's not that bad...23:30
coz_gordonjcp,  wow again... in terms of PITA to set up ...again a first :)23:30
gordonjcpnow I've got god knows how much work to do to get my machine back to a usable state23:30
gordonjcpcoz_: well, sound is broken by default, the stupid "close button on the wrong side" thing...23:31
coz_gordonjcp,  log off  type in your password then before hitting enter  change to classic gnome  or classic gnome (no effects)23:31
gordonjcpcoz_: right, but I don't see how that unbreaks grub23:31
coz_gordonjcp,  close buttons can be changed is a jiffy23:31
coz_gordonjcp,  of course it wont fix grub23:31
gordonjcpcoz_: yes, but it's annoying, and they should have been left alone23:31
gordonjcpcoz_: right, well, that's my immediate problem23:32
coz_gordonjcp,  I agree in concept with you23:32
coz_gordonjcp,  but  ...there it is :)23:32
coz_gordonjcp,  you can go here and use t his how to to reinstall grub   http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide23:32
coz_gordonjcp,  also  you can simply  sudo apt-get autoremove --purge  unity23:33
gordonjcpI haven't got a livecd23:34
coz_gordonjcp,  ah ok..I was going to say read that through several times to get  your bearings23:34
gordonjcpright, so is there going to be an option to install 11.04 when it comes out without it flattening everything else on the machine?23:48
gordonjcpor are you going for the full-on Windows XP "our way or no way" thing?23:49
coz_gordonjcp,  well what you see in 11.04 right now is the way it will essentially be,, I am assuming... it only has 2 months left so I doubt any major change is going to take place23:50
judgenis there a list of packages that is going to be updated for natty?23:50
coz_gordonjcp, "flatttening"  I am not sure what you mean by that23:50
judgenI am still thinking about amiwm... it is ofcourse a minor matter, as most can build it themselves. but still.23:51
