ssweenylunch time :)11:30
rmg51let me know when it's nap time ;-)11:31
InHisNameGood morning all you early birds and luncheon fellows - JonathanD, rmg51, & ss13:52
InHisNamessweeny  instead of ss13:53
JonathanDHello InHisName14:05
InHisNameWhuts up this morn, JonathanD14:05
JonathanDnothing much.14:26
JonathanDGonna do some more recabling today.14:27
InHisNameOoooo sooo exciting, re-cabling.   Cat-5 ?14:27
JonathanDpower.14:51
InHisNameIt's still better than wearysome task that keeps on repeating and repeating14:54
InHisNamejob searching14:54
* ChinnoDog yawns18:03
* teddy-dbear hugs :-D18:13
* InHisName notices it is now afternoon already.19:08
JonathanDindeed.19:17
JonathanDInHisName: so it is.19:17
InHisNameso lets have a frenzied discussion of things ubuntu.19:20
knightzeroUbuntu, Wine, and a particular e-book reader that requires Visual basic do not play well together.19:22
InHisNameGo tee-totaler and dump the e-book reader and keep ubuntu.19:24
knightzeroI would if it weren't required for school - and if the alternative wasn't a horrible web based HTML reader with zero search functionality.19:25
InHisNameOr if you are very inflexable, adopt VirtualBox and add an OS that supports VB for the e-reader.19:25
knightzeroThat's my current workaround.  I'd still love to make it work in Wine though.  Its not Wine's fault at all, this program is just....eh....describable in words that violate the family-friendly nature of this channel.19:27
InHisNameOk, moving on....   If I enable 'cube' in compiz in 10.04  what command spins and other actions on it ?19:31
knightzeroIf you have the CompizConfig settings manager installed, you should be able to map it to whatever you want.19:32
InHisNameYea, I got that.   I seem to have only two desktops but not able to see cube yet.  Must be more settings to fix.19:37
knightzeroThe button mappings are under rotate cube>bindings, and you'll need to enable rotate cube and desktop cube19:38
teddy-dbearflipping the cube is no fun with only 2 desktops :P19:40
InHisNameinitiate = <ctrl><alt>Button1     so I tried ctrl-alt + all diff mouse buttons  what is '1'?19:41
knightzeroToo true, teddy-dbear19:41
knightzerobutton1=usually the left mouse button.19:41
InHisNameWhere to increase count of desktops from 2 ?19:41
knightzerohold all three and you can spin the cube19:42
teddy-dbeardefault is crtl/alt/left or right arrows19:42
InHisNameThat shifts to left desktop19:43
knightzeroFrom the desktops view on your gnome toolbar, you should be able to right click and select the number of desktops.19:43
InHisNameIs setting for # desktops in compizmgr ?19:43
teddy-dbearbottom right corner19:44
teddy-dbearlower panel19:44
InHisNameOk I see it now19:45
teddy-dbearyou should have 2 squares showing19:45
InHisNameOk setting changed to 4.    Shows 4 upon review but still only 2 to move about in, yet.    Do I need to 'reboot' or sumthin' ?19:46
knightzeroYou should be able to change arrangement as well - if they are stacked as a square, the cube rotation doesn't work quite right.19:47
knightzeroUnder preferences, set rows to 119:49
InHisNameYea, they are 1 row 4 desktops.    But only have two so far.19:51
InHisName4 cols x 1 row19:52
knightzeroThat should update immediately.19:53
InHisNamereboot to see if that fixes anything .....   Two other things want a reboot anyway.20:14
InHisNamewell reboot cleared that up. Got 4 desktops in one row.20:24
InHisNameOk, now it rotates20:25
InHisNameNow you guys can resume the regularly scheduled discussions about all things ubuntu......20:25
InHisNamekids home from school.   Chore day.   bb MUCH later20:28
