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