| Squirm | good evening | 01:14 |
|---|---|---|
| Squirm | good morning | 11:21 |
| klaasvakie | howzit | 11:48 |
| klaasvakie | I've been running ubuntu netbook remix on an old laptop, and i've upgraded to natty which i've been periodically updating after that | 11:49 |
| klaasvakie | after todays update though, my unity desktop is gone, and i'm seeing the gnome panels again | 11:50 |
| klaasvakie | unity doesn't seem to be an option in the gdm menu | 11:50 |
| Tonberry | i pity the team who needs to release that in a month | 11:51 |
| klaasvakie | and i've reinstalled ubuntu-netbook-unity-default-settings | 11:51 |
| klaasvakie | any other ideas? | 11:52 |
| klaasvakie | b.t.w. i've actually been very happy with the unity UI and before today, haven't had any issues | 11:52 |
| klaasvakie | never been a gnome fan, but I like unity | 11:53 |
| Tonberry | my first contact with unity was installing the 11.04 beta in virtualbox yesterday | 11:53 |
| Tonberry | so i know less than you do... | 11:53 |
| klaasvakie | hehe | 11:54 |
| klaasvakie | it's a pity because the google results are just full of people bitching about unity, I assume the useful pages are like 10 screens down | 11:54 |
| klaasvakie | brb, gonna try something | 11:59 |
| klaasvakie | beh, no luck | 12:02 |
| tumbleweed | klaasvakie: it's listed as "Ubuntu Desktop Edition" in gdm | 12:20 |
| tumbleweed | all you need is to have ubunttu-desktop installed | 12:20 |
| klaasvakie | tumbleweed, thanks let me try | 12:21 |
| |3o|3 | tumbleweed: you using unity? | 12:22 |
| klaasvakie | tumbleweed, I don't have "Ubuntu Desktop Edition", I have "Ubuntu" and "Ubuntu Classic" and then some failsafe stuff | 12:23 |
| tumbleweed | |3o|3: yeah :/ | 12:23 |
| |3o|3 | tumbleweed: :D | 12:24 |
| |3o|3 | I'm loving it | 12:24 |
| tumbleweed | klaasvakie: aah, it's now called "Ubuntu" | 12:24 |
| klaasvakie | yeah, "Ubuntu" gets me to the gnome panels | 12:25 |
| tumbleweed | you need supported hardware, though. I don't think unity-2d is ready | 12:25 |
| klaasvakie | i've been running unity for months now | 12:25 |
| klaasvakie | it works | 12:25 |
| |3o|3 | tumbleweed: well, depending on how you define hardware | 12:25 |
| |3o|3 | I mean, my netbook handles it fine :/ | 12:25 |
| nuvolari | xfce ftw :D | 12:25 |
| klaasvakie | it just doesn't want to work after todays update | 12:25 |
| tumbleweed | klaasvakie: oh, it crashes a lot | 12:25 |
| marcog | tumbleweed: so wait, does that mean natty won't work without 3d acceleration? | 12:26 |
| tumbleweed | marcog: you don't need to use unity | 12:26 |
| marcog | tumbleweed: ok | 12:26 |
| klaasvakie | tumbleweed, no it doesn't crash, I just can't *get* into unity anymore | 12:26 |
| klaasvakie | when I log in I get the gnome panels | 12:26 |
| klaasvakie | I can't get the unity interface back | 12:26 |
| |3o|3 | marcog: I don't has real 3d acceleration, and it works. Albeit not always THAT snappily | 12:27 |
| marcog | tumbleweed: are you going to be the poor sole unity "expert" at the release party? :P | 12:27 |
| tumbleweed | marcog: :P | 12:27 |
| tumbleweed | |3o|3: intel graphics works best | 12:27 |
| |3o|3 | tumbleweed: I think I may have those yes... not sure. | 12:28 |
| klaasvakie | mine is running fine on a "radeon mobility" | 12:28 |
| marcog | klaasvakie: ati is the worst :/ | 12:29 |
| marcog | wrt linux support | 12:29 |
| klaasvakie | yeah, but the new libdrm +kms stuff seems to be pretty stable | 12:29 |
| tumbleweed | yeah, it's got botter | 12:29 |
| klaasvakie | as in way better than 6 months ago | 12:29 |
| tumbleweed | better | 12:29 |
| klaasvakie | the powersaving stuff got merged in 2.6.37 which helped a lot | 12:30 |
| klaasvakie | and 2.6.38 seems to have added a lot of bugfixes (seeing lot less glitches etc.) | 12:30 |
| klaasvakie | and kms is nice :) | 12:30 |
| klaasvakie | ah, google seems to think that it could be a stale saved-session, brb | 12:33 |
| marcog | http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/01/ubuntu1004_beta_review/ | 13:33 |
| marcog | :-/ | 13:33 |
| Tonberry | i pity the devs | 13:36 |
| Tonberry | that need to release that | 13:37 |
| Tonberry | so very very soon | 13:37 |
| marcog | i'm glad i've skipped over this problem by switching to xmonad :) | 13:37 |
| Tonberry | haha | 13:38 |
| Tonberry | perhaps it is time that i should as well | 13:38 |
| marcog | most the people i know that have tried it out have loved it | 13:39 |
| marcog | and never gone back | 13:39 |
| Tonberry | with a default config? | 13:39 |
| marcog | maybe in 2 years time unity will be better and worth trying out | 13:39 |
| Tonberry | or with a customised one? | 13:39 |
| marcog | nah, i configure it a lot | 13:39 |
| Tonberry | ah | 13:39 |
