| chris4585 | so I'd love to try unity on my laptop / desktop but the video card drivers seem to not allow compiz to work for me :| | 04:09 |
|---|---|---|
| chris4585 | hrm well I take that back on my laptop, the driver is downloading now woot | 04:11 |
| chibihogoshino | chris4585: why didnt the ubiquity installer not work with the old script ? | 11:32 |
| chris4585 | chibihogoshino? | 14:14 |
| chibihogoshino | the old version of magic live .. the ubiquity wouldnt install for some reason.. i dont remember why that that .. | 14:15 |
| chibihogoshino | there was a script or something think | 14:15 |
| chris4585 | I seem to remember something about that.. but bbiab | 14:16 |
| chibihogoshino | ok | 14:17 |
| * cyberanger has finished installing asterisk, now to configure it | 21:04 | |
| cyberanger | first time doing this on ubuntu | 21:04 |
| cyberanger | should be intresting | 21:04 |
| cyberanger | anyone else doing anything intresting | 21:05 |
| chris4585 | cyberanger, playing with unity | 21:37 |
| chris4585 | I realize now that its important to have a clickable icon on the desktop to reset unity.. | 21:38 |
| cyberanger | kinda unfortunate, no backup option | 21:40 |
| cyberanger | and removing the ability to restart xorg (however there's ways around that issue, re-enable it, or drop to a shell and restart gdm) | 21:41 |
| chris4585 | cyberanger, it would be useful to have a way to backup to gdm | 21:43 |
| chris4585 | or at least have something similar to win7 / vista | 21:44 |
| chris4585 | when ctrl+alt+del or is it backspace? whatever, when its pressed it brings up options | 21:44 |
| chris4585 | the exact same should be done on ubuntu in my opinion.. | 21:44 |
| cyberanger | the gdm service is still there, afaik, but yeah, a way to fallback to gnome per use | 21:44 |
| chris4585 | the only way it seems to back out when unity / compiz crashes is to right click on desktop > new file > open > navigate to /usr/share/applications | 21:45 |
| chris4585 | thats rather annoying | 21:46 |
| chris4585 | thats one way of doing it anyway | 21:46 |
| cyberanger | ctrl + alt + f1 | 21:48 |
| cyberanger | and login there, sudo service gdm restart? | 21:48 |
| chris4585 | yes but the regular joe doesn't know that | 21:48 |
| chris4585 | and they shouldn't have to know that either | 21:49 |
| chris4585 | well this is alpha anyway lol | 21:49 |
| cyberanger | lol, I remember showing wrst my "desktop" that way, at least once | 21:49 |
| chris4585 | lol | 21:50 |
| cyberanger | (and he didn't know about ctrl + alt + f7, to go back, I did feel bad for that bit, having him restart xorg) | 21:50 |
| chris4585 | must of been a while ago? | 21:50 |
| cyberanger | wrst: how long ago was it I showed you my desktop? | 21:53 |
| cyberanger | wrst: on your system, with Ctrl + Alt + F1 | 21:53 |
| cyberanger | chris4585: not too long, I think | 21:54 |
| chris4585 | oh, well wrst learned the hard way then lol | 21:54 |
| chris4585 | pressing alt with left/right will also get you back | 21:54 |
| chris4585 | eventually | 21:55 |
| cyberanger | not from a tty | 21:57 |
| cyberanger | well, actually, that might work (that might be something I tweaked for hotkey functions) | 21:57 |
| chris4585 | uh | 22:00 |
| chris4585 | if you keep pressing alt and hit either left or right it will eventually get you to the desktop if xorg is running | 22:00 |
| chris4585 | ah | 22:01 |
| chris4585 | gotcha | 22:01 |
| chris4585 | well thats what it does not tweaked :P | 22:01 |
| cyberanger | and also, you've sidestepped xorg by pressing ctrl alt f1 | 22:05 |
| cyberanger | xorg loses control of keyboard events (and everything else) since tty1 has focus | 22:06 |
| chris4585 | I usually never press f1, I just generally ger in the area of f1 - f6 | 22:07 |
| chris4585 | get* | 22:07 |
| wrst | cyberanger :P | 22:08 |
| cyberanger | wrst: when was that (and did you just do that again? kinda a long time to get here, just to stick your tounge out) | 22:09 |
| chris4585 | wrst, unity is coming along, the only thing I really don't like about it is dash and the lack of... working well | 22:10 |
| wrst | ha ha in the hospital right now cyberanger and been a while back | 22:10 |
| cyberanger | chris4585: I don't use any login manager (I install some, usually SLiM, seems a little more tweaker-friendly compared to kdm or gdm) | 22:11 |
| cyberanger | wrst: that time already? congrats! | 22:11 |
| wrst | chris4585 agree rocky or awn is better I think, but they have time | 22:11 |
| cyberanger | chris4585: it was a while ago ;-) | 22:11 |
| chris4585 | cyberanger, ? | 22:12 |
| wrst | thanks.cyberanger inducing in the morning just getting started tonight | 22:12 |
| * wrst is making full use of quasseldroid | 22:12 | |
| cyberanger | wrst: with DST you lost an hour of sleep, now your about to lose 5 more every night for awhile, you'll need a ton of luck to get sleep now | 22:13 |
| cyberanger | chris4585: when I showed wrst my desktop, as he said, a while ago | 22:13 |
| cyberanger | and SLiM is a login manager, extremely lightweight (for openbox, that's nice, no need for qt or gtk libs up the wazoo | 22:14 |
| cyberanger | GDM is the portion of gnome that does that, amoungst other tasks | 22:14 |
| cyberanger | and I just use startx or equavilant command | 22:15 |
| cyberanger | lxde-session (I think?) or so on | 22:15 |
| chris4585 | cyberanger, oh right | 22:15 |
| chris4585 | yes I know what slim is :) | 22:16 |
| chris4585 | slim is nice | 22:16 |
| cyberanger | yeah, wicd-curses, alsamixer, vlc -I ncurses, and ssh mybox | 22:16 |
| cyberanger | not alot needing xorg here | 22:16 |
| cyberanger | speeds up boot at a hotspot, when all I want is to chat here | 22:17 |
