| jordan3456 | hello? | 12:17 |
| lighta | hi | 12:18 |
| jordan3456 | could anyone here point me to a good website for setting up an ati card _without_ having to use xorg? | 12:19 |
| jordan3456 | I did it in gnome and now I forget how I did it | 12:20 |
| Sysi | 5000-series? | 12:22 |
| jordan3456 | oh no, 9200 if I remember. I'm on another machine now. | 12:22 |
| Sysi | if it's old it should work as well as possible by default | 12:23 |
| jordan3456 | when running gnome I used the opensource driver, not the ati driver | 12:23 |
| Sysi | shouldn't need setting up | 12:23 |
| jordan3456 | don't know. Under the "display" option in settings xubuntu only shows one monitor. xrandr shows two. | 12:24 |
| Sysi | use arandr if you want GUI | 12:24 |
| jordan3456 | okay. installed whatever arandr version is in the repository. | 12:26 |
| jordan3456 | will arandr let me assign one monitor to the right and one to the left, as if I were manually entering the values into xorg? | 12:27 |
| Sysi | yes | 12:33 |
| jordan3456 | excellent. Let me give that a try. I'll do anything to avoid xorg. | 12:34 |
| Sysi | i guess you mean xorg.conf | 12:35 |
| jordan3456 | you bet. terrible stuff. I'm glad that it's not really necessary anymore. | 12:35 |
| Sysi | wayland is coming | 12:35 |
| jordan3456 | y'know, I'm not sure if I want to run wayland. | 12:36 |
| jordan3456 | most of my computers are too old for that | 12:36 |
| jordan3456 | I can barely run gnome on my 1 ghz/1gb ram machine. this laptop is 64-bit, but I still run 32 bit kernel and xubuntu on it | 12:37 |
| Sysi | i ran 32bit xubuntu for year even after gettin 4GB ram, recently updated to 64 | 12:38 |
| jordan3456 | this machine is 4gb ram also. I don't play games, so I don't need a big computer. lxde is too buggy for me. | 12:40 |
| jordan3456 | but even that would be okay. | 12:40 |
| Sysi | i like xfce:s preferences | 12:40 |
| jordan3456 | that, and lxde doesn't have an easy, one click way to make launchers. Rather one has to use ln or make desktop files. lxde isn't ready for prime time. | 12:41 |
| jordan3456 | anyway, thanks for the help. | 12:42 |
| Sysi | np | 12:42 |

| halaszvarig | hey all | 16:59 |

| halaszvarig | spread it if you like :) | 17:00 |
| mterry | Hello! I'm doing some work on indicator-datetime, and it's preference dialog now covers the same functionality as time-admin. It also has controls for indicator-datetime. So for Ubuntu the Product, I want to not have time-admin, but I'm assuming it would still be useful for xubuntu? Do you guys use indicator-datetime? | 17:39 |
| charlie-tca | better asked in #xubuntu-devel, where I have copied that too | 17:40 |
| ochosi | mterry: it's not used by default atm, but generally indicator-support is there by default now | 17:41 |
| mterry | ochosi, ok. I'm trying to decide whether to split time-admin out to a separate package or just get rid of it. Sounds like you guys aren't requiring it by itself | 17:41 |
| charlie-tca | If the user chooses to remove indicators, will they still have time functions? | 17:42 |
| mterry | oh wait, you meant indicator-datetime isn't used by default | 17:42 |
| ochosi | yes | 17:42 |
| ochosi | xfce4-panel has a few time-plugins itself | 17:42 |
| ochosi | so we're using that atm | 17:42 |
| mterry | charlie-tca, the preference dialog is part of the indicator-datetime package right now. depends how you remove indicators | 17:42 |
| ochosi | tbh i haven't tried the datetime-indicator in natty | 17:42 |
| mterry | ochosi, ok, so you don't even use time-admin right now? | 17:42 |
| mterry | "you" = "xubuntu" | 17:43 |
| ochosi | mterry: atm you can only remove indicators from the panel by uninstalling them, the plugin isn't very advanced yet | 17:43 |
| mterry | ochosi, well, indicator-datetime-preferences actually has a checkbox for showing the clock or not | 17:43 |
| ochosi | ok | 17:43 |
| ochosi | mterry: well give me 5min and i'll reboot to my natty testinstall | 17:44 |
| ochosi | brb | 17:44 |
| mterry | ochosi, heh, well, that preference doesn't work right now... but you'll get the idea. i'm working on that right now | 17:44 |
| ochosi | mterry: the time-admin is installed by default | 17:46 |
| ochosi | it's in our menu too | 17:46 |
| mterry | ochosi, indicator-datetime is in the menu or the gnome clock is? | 17:46 |
| ochosi | neither, xfce4-clock plugin is ;) | 17:46 |
| mterry | ochosi, :) OK. So... the indicator-datetime bits of the preference dialog would not be appropriate for xubuntu then | 17:47 |
| ochosi | yep i guess that's the conclusion | 17:47 |
| ochosi | ok the clock seems to work ok | 17:47 |
| ochosi | i mean indicator-datetime | 17:47 |
| mterry | ochosi, so perhaps I'll just split it out for safety's sake, and a seeding change would be needed to add it back in? unless you guys decide you love indicator-datetime, but since we're post FF, I guess not | 17:48 |
| ochosi | yeah, possibly we can't add it anymore, don't know, that's something we'd have to discuss | 17:48 |
| ochosi | but thanks for the heads-up, we might well look into that for the next cycle | 17:49 |
| ochosi | indicators were introduced quite late this cycle, you know | 17:49 |
| mterry | ochosi, OK. They were added quite late to xubuntu? | 17:49 |
| ochosi | mterry: yes, the support was kinda broken before | 17:49 |
| mterry | oh well neat that it's working now. I didn't know they had problems. I'm guilty of not paying close attention to xubuntu | 17:50 |
| ochosi | :) | 17:50 |
| mterry | despite working with cody-somerville sometimes :) | 17:50 |
| ochosi | sry mterry, g2g now | 17:50 |
| mterry | k, thanks! | 17:50 |

| TheSheep | !codecs | 19:41 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 19:41 |
| TheSheep | skinny: this should get you started | 19:41 |
| TheSheep | skinny: please use the public channel, this way others can learn too | 19:41 |
| skinny | okdokey | 19:42 |
| skinny | hmmm apt-gets I think i tried this but will try again and report back | 19:44 |
| skinny | well it installed but has no effect | 19:51 |
| skinny | perhaps a reboot? | 19:51 |
| skinny | it must be a open office thing since the videos play fine in vlc and parole | 19:52 |
| skinny | suggestions> | 19:52 |
| beefsalad | whats the issue? | 19:58 |
| beefsalad | too much crap in my buffer to try and pick out the conversation | 19:58 |
| skinny | i have issue playing video in powerpoint | 20:01 |
| skinny | they just appear as greyed out or one frame of paused video | 20:01 |
| skinny | i installed the retricted codec pkg no change unless I need to reboot>? | 20:02 |
| skinny | other than that i like xubu I am new to linux | 20:03 |
| skinny | and of course ppt is the ONE thing I really need to do with this notebook | 20:03 |
| skinny | i havent used irc since the freakin 90s I am having flashbacks | 20:04 |
| skinny | good times... | 20:04 |
| beefsalad | powerpoint.... | 20:11 |
| TheSheep | skinny: sorry, was distracted | 20:11 |
| TheSheep | skinny: no idea what else could be wrong | 20:11 |
| beefsalad | DRM'ed video? | 20:11 |
| TheSheep | skinny: btw, it's probably openoffice's impress, not powerpoint | 20:12 |
| skinny | i am asking on #go-oo thanks | 20:12 |
| skinny | i say pp but i am using 00 but there is also a way i have run it via pptview.exe a standalone | 20:13 |
| skinny | no video is not drm although I couldnt play netflix dvd for awhile I think I can only still play my own burned dvds but thats another issue netflix dvds are almost history anyway :-) | 20:15 |
| skinny | what about rebooting after that restricetd codecs install should i try that I have yet to | 20:15 |
| TheSheep | skinny: you shouldn't need to do that | 20:17 |
| TheSheep | skinny: I doubt it would help | 20:17 |
| skinny | cool beans | 20:19 |
| skinny | peace out | 20:19 |
