[01:55] <jthan> WHOA
[01:55]  * jthan pokes around
[01:55] <jthan> anyone?
[01:55] <rmg51> o/
[01:55] <jthan> \o/
[01:55] <jthan> I just upgraded to Natty... Terribly disappointed :-(
[01:56] <rmg51> yeah, I'm not feeling Unity :-/
[01:56] <jthan> Nope.
[01:57] <jthan> And in general the whole thing is buggy..
[01:57] <jthan> After I resume from suspend things go missing until a reboot.. Just not happy with the performance. My boot time is near 2 minutes.
[01:57] <rmg51> on a clean install I lost wireless with network manager
[01:58] <jthan> now without Googling I can't even figure out how to ditch Unity :-P
[01:58] <rmg51> easy
[01:58] <jthan> Do I have to change my session?
[01:58] <rmg51> system
[01:59] <rmg51> admin
[01:59] <rmg51> login screen
[01:59] <jthan> Ah. yea.
[01:59] <rmg51> at the bottom is a drop down box
[01:59] <rmg51> pick classic
[02:00] <jthan> Is it any less buggy for you?
[02:00] <rmg51> depends on the computer
[02:00] <rmg51> this one is still on 10.10
[02:01] <rmg51> just didn't get around to upgrading it yet
[02:01] <rmg51> Teddy's System76 laptop seems fine
[02:02] <rmg51> had to go back to rhythmbox
[02:03] <rmg51> banshee messed up :-(
[02:04] <jthan> Oh boy. I gotta ehad out for now. I'm reconfiguring some stuff on my linode then I should be back full time ;-)
[02:04] <jthan> good chatting for all of five minutes
[02:05] <rmg51> bye
[02:47] <bts3685|vps> jthan: holy crap dude, you're alive!
[03:32] <jthan> bts3685|vps: same could be said to you!
[03:34] <jthan> Soon as I drag all the files off the linode and reinstall... an OS - I'll get irssi up and running
[03:35] <jthan> Calc and Analytical Writing have been kicking my BUTT, and work has been pretty hectic.
[04:50] <ChinnoDog> jthan is too busy for us
[07:12] <InHisName> What a busy nite (for only jthan)
[07:20] <bts3685|vps> i've been busy working!
[08:00] <InHisName> Lucky stiff, a paying job!
[11:03] <JonathanD> Morning PA
[11:11] <rmg51> morning JonathanD
[11:12] <JonathanD> howdy rmg51
[11:13] <rmg51> o/
[11:17] <JonathanD> How goes?
[11:20] <rmg51> just reading the digital version of the morning Inquirer
[11:29] <rmg51> breakfast time :)
[11:30] <ssweeny> lunch time :)
[11:31] <rmg51> let me know when it's nap time ;-)
[13:52] <InHisName> Good morning all you early birds and luncheon fellows - JonathanD, rmg51, & ss
[13:53] <InHisName> ssweeny  instead of ss
[14:05] <JonathanD> Hello InHisName
[14:05] <InHisName> Whuts up this morn, JonathanD
[14:26] <JonathanD> nothing much.
[14:27] <JonathanD> Gonna do some more recabling today.
[14:27] <InHisName> Ooooo sooo exciting, re-cabling.   Cat-5 ?
[14:51] <JonathanD> power.
[14:54] <InHisName> It's still better than wearysome task that keeps on repeating and repeating
[14:54] <InHisName> job searching
[18:03]  * ChinnoDog yawns
[18:13]  * teddy-dbear hugs :-D
[19:08]  * InHisName notices it is now afternoon already.
[19:17] <JonathanD> indeed.
[19:17] <JonathanD> InHisName: so it is.
[19:20] <InHisName> so lets have a frenzied discussion of things ubuntu.
[19:22] <knightzero> Ubuntu, Wine, and a particular e-book reader that requires Visual basic do not play well together.
[19:24] <InHisName> Go tee-totaler and dump the e-book reader and keep ubuntu.
[19:25] <knightzero> I 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] <InHisName> Or if you are very inflexable, adopt VirtualBox and add an OS that supports VB for the e-reader.
[19:27] <knightzero> That'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.
[19:31] <InHisName> Ok, moving on....   If I enable 'cube' in compiz in 10.04  what command spins and other actions on it ?
[19:32] <knightzero> If you have the CompizConfig settings manager installed, you should be able to map it to whatever you want.
[19:37] <InHisName> Yea, I got that.   I seem to have only two desktops but not able to see cube yet.  Must be more settings to fix.
[19:38] <knightzero> The button mappings are under rotate cube>bindings, and you'll need to enable rotate cube and desktop cube
[19:40] <teddy-dbear> flipping the cube is no fun with only 2 desktops :P
[19:41] <InHisName> initiate = <ctrl><alt>Button1     so I tried ctrl-alt + all diff mouse buttons  what is '1'?
[19:41] <knightzero> Too true, teddy-dbear
[19:41] <knightzero> button1=usually the left mouse button.
[19:41] <InHisName> Where to increase count of desktops from 2 ?
[19:42] <knightzero> hold all three and you can spin the cube
[19:42] <teddy-dbear> default is crtl/alt/left or right arrows
[19:43] <InHisName> That shifts to left desktop
[19:43] <knightzero> From the desktops view on your gnome toolbar, you should be able to right click and select the number of desktops.
[19:43] <InHisName> Is setting for # desktops in compizmgr ?
[19:44] <teddy-dbear> bottom right corner
[19:44] <teddy-dbear> lower panel
[19:45] <InHisName> Ok I see it now
[19:45] <teddy-dbear> you should have 2 squares showing
[19:46] <InHisName> Ok setting changed to 4.    Shows 4 upon review but still only 2 to move about in, yet.    Do I need to 'reboot' or sumthin' ?
[19:47] <knightzero> You should be able to change arrangement as well - if they are stacked as a square, the cube rotation doesn't work quite right.
[19:49] <knightzero> Under preferences, set rows to 1
[19:51] <InHisName> Yea, they are 1 row 4 desktops.    But only have two so far.
[19:52] <InHisName> 4 cols x 1 row
[19:53] <knightzero> That should update immediately.
[20:14] <InHisName> reboot to see if that fixes anything .....   Two other things want a reboot anyway.
[20:24] <InHisName> well reboot cleared that up. Got 4 desktops in one row.
[20:25] <InHisName> Ok, now it rotates
[20:25] <InHisName> Now you guys can resume the regularly scheduled discussions about all things ubuntu......
[20:28] <InHisName> kids home from school.   Chore day.   bb MUCH later
