| Aicasn | what's the point of the LTS line of ubuntus? are they supposedly more stable? i get that they offer "long-term support" but don't users have support by staying updated anyway? | 16:53 |
| charlie-tca | yes, but normal releases are supported for 18 months, LTS is supported on desktop for 3 years, server for 5 years | 16:53 |
| charlie-tca | For those not wanting to upgrade every release, LTS offers a lot of stability for a longer time | 16:54 |
| Aicasn | and there's nothing more to it other than not having to upgrade as often to maintain support? | 16:54 |
| Aicasn | i wonder what the demographics look like for LTS users...? my guess is that it would be more popular in business environments vs. power-user/developer/home-user machines | 17:00 |
| charlie-tca | heh, most power users will upgrade every 6 months | 17:02 |
| cal__ | This may be a stupid question: I recently installed Xubuntu 11.04, but unlike my other install, the "Aero-snap"-type features aren't working, and I can't find anywhere to enable them in the settings manager | 17:02 |
| charlie-tca | what is "Aero-snap"? | 17:03 |
| cal__ | when you drag a window to the top panel, for example, it will maximize | 17:03 |
| cal__ | or to the left of the screen, it will take up half the screen by auto-resizing | 17:03 |
| Wizard | it works like this in gnome3 | 17:04 |
| Aicasn | bleh. not a fan of that. don't like MS assuming that by moving a window up I want it to be maximized. if I wanted that, i would click the maximize button -.- | 17:04 |
| Wizard | btw, where did you get then name from? | 17:05 |
| cal__ | I'm mostly used to it by habit; but am I mistaken? isn't this supposed to be enabled by default in xubuntu? | 17:05 |
| cal__ | that's what MS calls it, people sometimes recognize it by that name | 17:05 |
| charlie-tca | That has never been in Xubuntu. | 17:05 |
| cal__ | alright. my mistake! | 17:06 |
| cal__ | thanks, adios | 17:06 |
| charlie-tca | It is part of Unity, in Ubuntu | 17:06 |
| Aicasn | what do you guys think of Unity? does it feel more like Aero for people that a switching win7->ubuntu ? | 17:07 |
| Aicasn | *are | 17:07 |
| charlie-tca | We don't use it | 17:07 |
| charlie-tca | Unity is part of Ubuntu, not Xubuntu | 17:08 |
| Aicasn | i'm aware. figured some people have played with it | 17:08 |
| charlie-tca | I have never used win7, and I have not used Unity enough to know if I like it, since Xubuntu is and has been my primary operating system since 2006 | 17:09 |
| === emma is now known as em | ||
| Wizard | Aicasn: i don't know how does unity look fcomparing to windows, i haven't used it for ages | 17:39 |
| Wizard | but i've been using unity, it sucks | 17:41 |
| Wizard | it is really really bad, bad designed, bad thought up, bad coded | 17:42 |
| Wizard | it's bad for both experienced users and for newbies, for people used to windows 98, xp, 3.11, kde1, 2, 3 and 4 gnome 1 and 2 | 17:43 |
| Wizard | every single person will miss some function or be annoyed by some bug | 17:44 |
| elros | "it was an interesting experiment, yielding important user data to make our product better" | 17:47 |
| Aicasn | guess i'm not surprised. think unity will stay around for next ubuntu release? get cleaned up and such | 17:55 |
| nicofs | Has anyone got any idea how i could get a xubuntu chroot environment to work from within maemo? | 18:06 |
| elros | my guess is that unity and gnome 3 will coexist in oneiric, and mr shuttlewirth will ponder heavily on the preferred desktop for 12.04 | 18:23 |
| poptisse_ | I am having an issue with restart X - i think i just broke xubuntu lol | 18:35 |
| Aicasn | can you provide some details, poptisse_? where does it fail? have you checked the logs? anything conspicuous in them? | 18:41 |
| poptisse_ | Hi Aicasn | 18:44 |
| poptisse_ | I just enabled ctrl alt backspace to restart X - as I had edited the xorg.conf to fix a screen tearing issue. I pressed ctrl alt backspace - everything went black and came back and all i can see is my desktop with two items i had on my desktop previously, I have no menu absolutely nothing so can't run terminal or any piece of software.... | 18:44 |
| Aicasn | press Ctrl+Alt+F2 and tell me if that gets you a terminal | 18:44 |
| poptisse_ | Yes it turned my monitor into a terminal lol | 18:45 |
| Aicasn | log in and fix your xorg.conf | 18:45 |
| Aicasn | restore from backup if you made one | 18:45 |
| poptisse_ | I don't think it is the xorg.conf which did it - i was simply following a tutorial which everyone else had no issues with | 18:46 |
| poptisse_ | so cant see why it had affected me | 18:46 |
| Aicasn | i think it's very possible that your current xorg.conf is making X unhappy. if you have a backup I strongly suggest you try it | 18:47 |
| Aicasn | if not, change it back. no harm done | 18:47 |
| poptisse_ | ok | 18:48 |
| poptisse_ | I cant seem to be able to do that | 18:48 |
| poptisse_ | Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display | 18:48 |
| poptisse_ | :l | 18:48 |
| poptisse_ | Soon as i do | 18:48 |
| poptisse_ | gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:48 |
| Aicasn | use nano, vi, joe, or emacs | 18:48 |
| Aicasn | you can't use apps that need X | 18:49 |
| poptisse_ | :l | 18:49 |
| poptisse_ | You've lost me | 18:49 |
| poptisse_ | I literally installed xubuntu an hour ago | 18:49 |
| poptisse_ | God all this to try and fix a screen tearing issue - makes me wanna go back to windows lol | 18:50 |
| poptisse_ | Nothing seems to work for me at all.. | 18:50 |
| Aicasn | log in and type nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:50 |
| poptisse_ | :P | 18:51 |
| poptisse_ | ok | 18:51 |
| poptisse_ | The line i entered was | 18:51 |
| poptisse_ | Section "Extensions" | 18:51 |
| poptisse_ | Option "composite" "disable" | 18:52 |
| poptisse_ | EndSection | 18:52 |
| poptisse_ | I got that off a tutorial - it seemed to work for everyone else with no issues like i had reported so a bit dumb founded | 18:52 |
| poptisse_ | How do i save it lol | 18:53 |
| poptisse_ | it says ^o for writeout but i dont know how to execute it | 18:53 |
| Aicasn | ^ is control | 18:54 |
| poptisse_ | ok | 18:54 |
| poptisse_ | says permission denied | 18:54 |
| poptisse_ | ill log into root and try that way | 18:54 |
| Aicasn | or add sudo before nano | 18:54 |
| Aicasn | sudo is a better habbit to get into | 18:54 |
| poptisse_ | ok | 18:55 |
| poptisse_ | After this can you help with my screen tearing? | 18:55 |
| poptisse_ | I have tried everything | 18:55 |
| poptisse_ | configz or w.e its called does not work for me | 18:55 |
| poptisse_ | I have nvidia drivers installed I have tried selecting all vynsyn etc | 18:55 |
| poptisse_ | no luck | 18:55 |
| poptisse_ | I have managed to write the file, we'll see if that fixed it | 18:57 |
| poptisse_ | :D | 18:57 |
| poptisse_ | Now to solve screen tearing :( | 18:58 |
| Aicasn | 2d or 3d tearing? | 18:58 |
| poptisse_ | http://wildebeestplain.blogspot.com/2011/06/tearing-screen-even-with-vsyncing-on.html | 18:59 |
| charlie-tca | um, Xubuntu doesn't have 2d/3d. It only has xfce, instead of unity with 2d/3d | 18:59 |
| poptisse_ | Thats the tutorial i am following | 18:59 |
| poptisse_ | To tell truth I am on ubuntu no one is helping on that channel so was told to come here | 18:59 |
| charlie-tca | i see | 19:00 |
| poptisse_ | It tears on videos and when moving windows etc - i have not tested gaming as i wont be gaming on it | 19:00 |
| poptisse_ | The tutorial says to add this to the end of xorg.conf - Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection | 19:01 |
| poptisse_ | I did that and that gave me the previous issue which is now fixed - but still screen tearing | 19:01 |
| Aicasn | where did you get your video drivers? | 19:05 |
| poptisse_ | I tried directly from nvidia but that did not go so well | 19:06 |
| poptisse_ | so i did the other way thru | 19:06 |
| poptisse_ | hardware driver software | 19:06 |
| poptisse_ | I just did a google search - and allot of forums say that works so i cant see why it wont work for me | 19:06 |
| poptisse_ | :l | 19:06 |
| poptisse_ | The addition driver software - is where i downloaded the nvidia drivers | 19:08 |
| poptisse_ | You able to help me at all? | 19:10 |
| Aicasn | i'm looking for similar reports | 19:11 |
| Aicasn | what is your video card/chip? | 19:11 |
| poptisse_ | Nvidia GTX 260 | 19:11 |
| poptisse_ | This guy - http://wildebeestplain.blogspot.com/2011/06/tearing-screen-even-with-vsyncing-on.html has the exact same issues as me. | 19:11 |
| poptisse_ | He even mentions how he fixed it - so i thought i would try that and it did not work just gave me the error u helped fix | 19:12 |
| Aicasn | are you certain there weren't any typos in the section you added? i'm reaching but I can't imagine why turning off composite would bork your 2d video | 19:13 |
| poptisse_ | To the best of my knowledge no.. but than again I don't really know what am doing | 19:14 |
| poptisse_ | How about if i send u my xorg.conf and u edit it and send it back via pastebin.com | 19:14 |
| poptisse_ | and ill try that? | 19:14 |
| Aicasn | if you just added that section to the very end of the existing xorg.conf you should be fine | 19:14 |
| Aicasn | this time don't do c+a+backspace. just log out and back in again | 19:15 |
| poptisse_ | ok two secs | 19:15 |
| Aicasn | *** make a backup!!!! | 19:15 |
| poptisse_ | :l | 19:17 |
| poptisse_ | produced the exact same issue | 19:17 |
| Aicasn | m'kay. i really don't know man. i might try the official nvidia drivers again | 19:18 |
| Aicasn | do you have a CRT monitor? | 19:18 |
| poptisse_ | No | 19:18 |
| poptisse_ | It's connected via HDMI | 19:18 |
| poptisse_ | I have also tried connecting via vga | 19:19 |
| poptisse_ | It's a samsung lcd | 19:19 |
| Aicasn | might check that the refresh rate is 60Hz. again, reaching | 19:19 |
| poptisse_ | I can't get the official nvidia drivers installed | 19:19 |
| poptisse_ | well | 19:19 |
| poptisse_ | According to nvidia is it | 19:19 |
| poptisse_ | *it is | 19:19 |
| Aicasn | why? | 19:19 |
| poptisse_ | It says its 60Hz | 19:19 |
| poptisse_ | I try using the runpackage and it gives me some weird X is running error crap | 19:20 |
| poptisse_ | two secs ill re-produce it | 19:20 |
| poptisse_ | Its an irritating issue because i cant be the only one and there has to be a fix surely | 19:22 |
| poptisse_ | I might even offer a cash reward for fixing it ha ha | 19:22 |
| poptisse_ | ok | 19:24 |
| poptisse_ | You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing. | 19:24 |
| poptisse_ | Thats the issue - if i can get around that it would mean i can install the official drivers | 19:25 |
| Liv- | hello, anyone uses pidgin by any chance? was able to update it? | 19:26 |
| CDelia | Hello people of Xubuntu | 19:28 |
| CDelia | I am seeking some help. | 19:28 |
| poptisse_ | ok once i edit terminal via ctrl alt f2 and stop X how do i get back to desktop? | 19:29 |
| Aicasn | poptisse_: how did you stop X? | 19:29 |
| poptisse_ | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 19:29 |
| poptisse_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281358 | 19:30 |
| poptisse_ | I am following that | 19:30 |
| charlie-tca | CDelia: please state your problem, all on one line, and if anyone knows an answer, they will respond | 19:30 |
| Aicasn | so sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start ought to do it | 19:30 |
| Aicasn | if you have any nvidia packages install I would recommend removing them before installing the nvidia version | 19:30 |
| Aicasn | *website version | 19:31 |
| CDelia | I just switched from ubuntu 10.10 to Xubuntu 11.04. I have been looking all over for the keyboard shortcut manager so I can set up my window switcher, volume control, and application launcher keys. I found it earlier today when I was running Xubuntu through virtual box, but now that I installed it as my main operating system I have no idea where it is. | 19:31 |
| poptisse_ | oh is this fucking kidding me!!! | 19:31 |

| ubottu | poptisse_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 19:32 |
| poptisse_ | Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the services(8) utility, .e.g servide gdm stop | 19:32 |
| poptisse_ | charlie-tca sorry i am having an issue with screen tearing and nothing seems to work not even turning on vysync | 19:33 |
| charlie-tca | CDelia: either menu -> settings -> keyboard or menu -> settings -> appearance | 19:33 |
| Aicasn | okay so sudo service gdm stop | 19:33 |
| poptisse_ | unknown instance | 19:33 |
| charlie-tca | We still keep our language clean, even when we are getting frustrated. | 19:33 |
| poptisse_ | Sorry, have you got any idea how it could be fixed? | 19:34 |
| Aicasn | poptisse_: ps ax | grep gdm is it running? | 19:34 |
| Liv- | I can't remove packages under residual config in synaptic as the "apply" button does not work, how can remove those packages? is it ok if I use apt-get autoremove? | 19:34 |
| charlie-tca | I don't, no. Aicasn seems to have some help, though | 19:35 |
| charlie-tca | I don't use Ubuntu | 19:35 |
| charlie-tca | Liv-: yes, that works, normally | 19:35 |
| poptisse_ | aicasn no idea if it is running no idea what it is | 19:36 |
| Liv- | should I do any backup just in case? | 19:36 |
| CDelia | Charlie, I tried navigating to where you told me, but it is not showing me the options I am looking for to re-asign the different keyboard shortcuts. | 19:36 |
| Aicasn | poptisse_: what was the output of that command? | 19:37 |
| Aicasn | ps ax | grep gdm | 19:38 |
| charlie-tca | Liv-: not needed. If the packages are still needed, a simple sudo apt-get install fixes it | 19:38 |
| charlie-tca | CDelia: in Keyboard, application shortcuts are the shortcut keys for the system | 19:38 |
| Aicasn | poptisse_: if all you get back is the grep command (or nothing at all) then gdm has already been stopped | 19:39 |
| charlie-tca | in Window Manager, Keyboard tab, are the shortcuts for the window manager (xfwm) | 19:39 |
| poptisse_ | it just kept saying | 19:39 |
| poptisse_ | basically it was not recognised | 19:39 |
| Aicasn | what was not recognized? | 19:40 |
| poptisse_ | when i did | 19:40 |
| poptisse_ | sudo service gdm stop | 19:40 |
| CDelia | yay! | 19:40 |
| poptisse_ | it did not do anythng | 19:40 |
| CDelia | Thanks Charlie | 19:40 |
| Aicasn | do ps ax | grep gdm | 19:40 |
| poptisse_ | ok two secs | 19:40 |
| Liv- | thank you, charlie-tca | 19:40 |
| poptisse_ | ok did that | 19:41 |
| poptisse_ | It returned some lines some of it in red | 19:42 |
| CDelia | I have a cat on my back | 19:42 |
| Aicasn | how many lines? | 19:42 |
| poptisse_ | 7 | 19:43 |
| poptisse_ | I cant copy and paste it as am talking to u via a windows 7 laptop lol | 19:43 |
| CDelia | I don't understand, cat's just think oh look there is Chris, I am going to turn him into a couch by laying down on his back while he is laying down. | 19:43 |
| Aicasn | poptisse_: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/service gdm stop | 19:43 |
| poptisse_ | CD - What they're actually doing is displaying they're dominant over you and they're in charge - dont let them lay on u or they wont ever stop it | 19:43 |
| CDelia | lol | 19:44 |
| CDelia | Its too late for that. | 19:44 |
| Aicasn | then feed one to your dog. the rest will get it | 19:44 |
| CDelia | She is like 6 years old. Far set in her ways | 19:44 |
| poptisse_ | gdm stop/waiting | 19:44 |
| Aicasn | poptisse_: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/service gdm status | 19:45 |
| Liv- | lol CDelia | 19:45 |
| poptisse_ | gdm stop/waiting | 19:45 |
| poptisse_ | I think it has stopped lol | 19:45 |
| Aicasn | hit up arrow until you get back to the ps ax|grep gdm line then hit return | 19:46 |
| Aicasn | how many lines now? | 19:46 |
| poptisse_ | ok two secs | 19:46 |
| poptisse_ | 1 | 19:46 |

| poptisse_ | 2037 tty2 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto gdm | 19:47 |
| Aicasn | good | 19:47 |

| Aicasn | m'hmm | 20:12 |

| poptisse_ | That is seeming to work now for everyone who has my issue | 20:13 |
| poptisse_ | so | 20:13 |
| poptisse_ | I am going to log out of ubuntu and log into ubuntu classic without effects | 20:13 |
| poptisse_ | and run these commands | 20:13 |
| poptisse_ | I pray to god this works for me | 20:14 |
| poptisse_ | or am gonna die | 20:14 |
| poptisse_ | :l | 20:14 |
| poptisse_ | :o well i managed to do the composite | 20:16 |
| poptisse_ | and restart x | 20:16 |
| poptisse_ | without the whole error i had before | 20:16 |
| poptisse_ | lets test this out | 20:16 |
| Wizard | studies prove that praying have no influence on probability of success in any case | 20:19 |
| poptisse_ | ok | 20:19 |
| poptisse_ | :l | 20:19 |
| poptisse_ | still screen tearing | 20:19 |
| poptisse_ | BUT! | 20:19 |
| poptisse_ | not as badly as it was before | 20:19 |
| poptisse_ | i still say its broke | 20:19 |
| poptisse_ | lol | 20:19 |
| poptisse_ | 10.10 sounds like a good option ha ha | 20:19 |
| poptisse_ | Thanks for all the help - like i said fixes it dramatically but still tears... | 20:21 |
| poptisse_ | a bit | 20:21 |
| poptisse_ | I am a perfectionist | 20:21 |
| Aicasn | i'm happy for you :) grats | 20:26 |
| poptisse_ | Yeh it tears a little which it should not | 20:29 |
| poptisse_ | but its not as bad as it was | 20:29 |
| poptisse_ | so am happy | 20:29 |
| poptisse_ | If it irritates me too much "it probs will" i can go to 10.10 | 20:29 |
| poptisse_ | Everyone seems to complain that ubuntu 11.04 is not stable and is basically an alpha :l | 20:31 |
| poptisse_ | I just wanted to stop using windows 7 as i had no real reason to use it and wanted to try out linux | 20:32 |
| poptisse_ | ok | 20:32 |

| poptisse_ | where i want my samsung to be primary | 20:34 |
| Wizard | hmm | 20:34 |
| Wizard | i would recomment installing lxrandr | 20:34 |
| poptisse_ | ok | 20:34 |
| poptisse_ | wait... | 20:34 |
| poptisse_ | i dont want it to tear my screen | 20:35 |
| poptisse_ | i would kill u literally | 20:35 |
| Wizard | no no, don't worry | 20:35 |
| Wizard | it's driver independent | 20:35 |
| Wizard | it operates on different xorg layer :D | 20:35 |
| poptisse_ | better fucking do | 20:35 |
| poptisse_ | sorry it has took me literally 14hrs to fix it lol | 20:36 |
| Wizard | rotfl :D | 20:36 |

| poptisse_ | yeh | 20:36 |
| poptisse_ | cant locate it | 20:36 |
| poptisse_ | :l | 20:36 |
| poptisse_ | I have installed it, but not sure what its under or called | 20:37 |
| Wizard | alt+f2: lxrandr | 20:37 |

| Wizard | :( | 20:38 |
| Wizard | ok, so i have no clues for you | 20:38 |
| Wizard | there is some nvidia specific tool, nvidia-settings or something like this | 20:39 |
| poptisse_ | :l | 20:39 |
| poptisse_ | brb | 20:39 |
| Wizard | it allows monitor settings too, but it of course does not understand xrandr | 20:39 |

| * Aicasn cheers @ poptisse_ | 20:39 | |
| poptisse | correct channel? | 20:51 |
| Aicasn | si | 20:52 |
| poptisse | :D | 20:52 |
| charlie-tca | Wizard: dealing with Ubuntu, no Xubuntu | 20:52 |
| Aicasn | someone needs to wrangle #ubuntu. it's been useless for a while now | 20:53 |
| poptisse | This is the xubuntu channel tho? | 20:53 |
| charlie-tca | not really correct for Ubuntu. We don't work with it everyday in this channel, even if you get someone that might be familiar | 20:53 |
| Aicasn | poptisse: yeah | 20:53 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu, yes | 20:53 |
| poptisse | Ubuntu is crap | 20:53 |
| poptisse | The channel that is | 20:53 |
| poptisse | It has about 10,000 people connecting to it at once and u cant have decent chat and no one helps or replies | 20:53 |
| poptisse | Thats why i came here | 20:53 |
| Wizard | charlie-tca: you mean i should rise any questions about gnome3 and related stuff here? :> | 20:53 |
| charlie-tca | You can raise/ask any question you want. That doesn't mean you will get much help with it | 20:54 |
| charlie-tca | poptisse: sorry, thought you were on Ubuntu instead | 20:54 |
| charlie-tca | my mistake. | 20:54 |
| Wizard | actually i came here to give answers | 20:54 |
| charlie-tca | Wizard: He really is using Xubuntu. Would xrander or arander give him what he wants? | 20:55 |
| Aicasn | poptisse: i'm not a channel elder by any stretch, but i have no problem with people coming here for help just so long as it isn't ubuntu-specific... if you have xubuntu and need help with video drivers, we can probably help you out | 20:55 |
| poptisse | So what is the major difference between ubuntu and xubuntu | 20:55 |
| Wizard | software set | 20:55 |
| * charlie-tca going to go hide again. Seems like he is full of errors today | 20:55 | |

| poptisse | ? | 20:57 |
| poptisse | lol | 20:57 |
| charlie-tca | Xfce is a much lighter desktop environment than Gnome | 20:57 |
| charlie-tca | in linux, there are three major desktop environments to use, Kde, Gnome, Xfce | 20:57 |
| Wizard | you've forgot about fvwm ;) | 20:58 |
| Aicasn | and fluxbox | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | no, I did not say window managers | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | I said DE | 20:58 |
| Wizard | so add ede, cde, lxde :D | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | Gnome is what Ubuntu is based on | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | Major DE? | 20:58 |
| Wizard | the point is you can compose your desktop of whatever you want | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | there are many minor DE's, but three major ones | 20:59 |
