| moxyr | knome: sorry about the awaynick. Didn't know it was prefered to avoid | 12:35 |
| moxyr | aatk: remember the 10 sec. delay between grub and init | 12:35 |
| moxyr | if I add a echo statement at the end of the grub command list | 12:36 |
| moxyr | then the delay is almost completely gone | 12:36 |
| moxyr | how can a echo statement have such an influence? | 12:36 |
| * moxyr doesn't like that behavior... | 12:37 | |
| thauriswulfa | hi guys, what knowledge should I possess to participate in xubuntu development, languages I current know includes, c/cpp,java | 13:15 |
| aatk | hey moxyr, that's weird, has anything else changed? | 13:18 |
| aatk | thauriswulfa: have you read through www.xubuntu.org/devel ? or asked in #xubuntu-devel ? | 13:19 |
| thauriswulfa | asked in #xubuntu-devel still wating for answer | 13:20 |
| moxyr | aatk: nope nothing else changed. With the echo ofcourse I get an echo message on screen, but nothing else changed | 13:26 |
| aatk | that's odd | 13:26 |
| moxyr | I'm also noticing when I have added the echo and when I don't have the delay | 13:28 |
| moxyr | shutting down and reboot works as normal | 13:29 |
| moxyr | with the delay I get thown back at login screen | 13:30 |
| moxyr | but this is a known bug with xfce: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/711571 | 13:31 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 711571 in xfdesktop4 (Ubuntu Natty) "xfdesktop4 crashes on exit with xorg-server 1.10" [Low,Triaged] | 13:31 |
| moxyr | But how the delay is related to the given bug is a complete mystery to me | 13:34 |
| ryan_ | hey anyone around | 14:28 |
| ryan_ | i could use some help with monitor stuff | 14:29 |
| TheSheep | ryan_: you need to describe your problem | 14:33 |
| TheSheep | ryan_: if anyone knows the solution, they will answer | 14:33 |
| ryan_ | yeah | 14:33 |
| ryan_ | i got two monitors | 14:33 |
| ryan_ | and want one desktop | 14:33 |
| ryan_ | but it just shows the same desktop on two monitors | 14:34 |
| ryan_ | not sure how to fix it | 14:34 |
| TheSheep | does your graphic card support xrandr? | 14:34 |
| ryan_ | no clue, where would i look that up? | 14:34 |
| TheSheep | open a terminal and type 'xrandr' | 14:35 |
| TheSheep | if it displays a bunch of information about your modes and such, then it is supported | 14:35 |
| ryan_ | ye it does | 14:35 |
| ryan_ | do i need to go into xorg.conf? | 14:35 |
| ryan_ | ive been googling it but the solutions dont seem consistent to what i see in xorg.conf | 14:36 |
| ryan_ | so i dont want to break something | 14:36 |
| TheSheep | you can do it all with xrandr | 14:36 |
| TheSheep | !xrandr | 14:36 |
| ubottu | XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 14:36 |
| TheSheep | ryan_: start with point II | 14:37 |
| ryan_ | ok | 14:37 |
| HackNewton | hi all | 14:41 |
| ochosi | !hi | 14:42 |
| ubottu | Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 14:42 |
| ryan_ | im sorry sheep guy maybe im stupid or something but i cant find where it tells you how to unify your desktop accross monitors | 14:44 |
| TheSheep | ryan_: you make a virtual screen and then make different displays show different parts of the screen | 14:46 |
| TheSheep | ryan_: point II.5. | 14:47 |
| ryan_ | yeah | 14:55 |
| ryan_ | whats the chmod number if you want to make a file read and writeable | 14:55 |
| ryan_ | its like 777 or something idk thats what it was on solaris | 14:55 |
| ryan_ | its so i can modify xorg.conf the way they said | 14:55 |
| ryan_ | thanks btw | 14:55 |
| ryan_ | hello? | 15:04 |
| moxyr | 644 is rw-r--r-- | 15:05 |
| ryan_ | so chmod rw-r--r-- ? | 15:06 |
| moxyr | chmod 644 file-name | 15:06 |
| ryan_ | ah | 15:07 |
| moxyr | this will make the file read and writeable by owner, readable by group and readable by anyone | 15:07 |
| aatk | if you want read and write for everyone it's just 'chmod a+rw filename' | 15:07 |
| aatk | which i guess is 666 if you really want the numbers | 15:08 |
| moxyr | doesn't chmod a+rw reserve the execution setting, while 666 removes execution? | 15:09 |
| aatk | Hmm, probably | 15:11 |
| ryan_ | its ok i got that part to work | 15:18 |
| ryan_ | but i still cant get it to listen to me after modifying xorg.conf like the manual the sheep gave me said to | 15:18 |
| ryan_ | not sure what i am doing wrong, i just wanted a continous desktop on two screens so i can look at two things at once on seperate sides | 15:18 |
| aatk | have you restarted X? | 15:19 |
| ryan_ | how do i do such a thing | 15:19 |
| ryan_ | sorry im new to a lot of this | 15:19 |
| ryan_ | :P | 15:19 |
| ryan_ | or do i just reboot | 15:20 |
| aatk | might as well reboot | 15:20 |
| ryan_ | kk | 15:20 |
| ryan_ | brb | 15:20 |
| aatk | I hope he hasn't killed X when he turns it back on :/ I thought there was some nice easy way of setting up dual monitors these days? | 15:21 |
| moxyr | I always do it with nvidia-settings. Just point and click to choose your setup... | 15:22 |
| aatk | Moment of truth... | 15:23 |
| ryan_ | keeps giving me the same thing | 15:23 |
| ryan_ | not sure what i didnt do | 15:23 |
| ryan_ | i went into xorg.conf as root modified it the way the thing said and then tried to run the command and it keeps telling me xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1440x1440 (desired size 2880x900) | 15:24 |
| aatk | Is there not just a box you can tick the display settings thing? | 15:24 |
| ryan_ | what | 15:25 |
| ryan_ | if there is i dont know where it is this is what i was told to do to make it so both my monitors function as one desktop not one desktop on 2 monitors | 15:25 |
| aatk | I'm not at my computer so I can't check right now | 15:26 |
| aatk | I think it's like Menu>Settings>Display Settings | 15:27 |
| aatk | Or Menu>System>Display | 15:27 |
| ryan_ | well that didnt work either :( | 15:38 |
| ryan_ | goddamn it | 15:38 |
| xubuntu_noob | Hi @ all | 15:42 |
| moxyr | !hi | 15:42 |
| ubottu | Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 15:42 |
| ryan_ | anyone modified xorg.conf before | 15:42 |
| xubuntu_noob | great :) | 15:42 |
| ryan_ | has anyone | 15:43 |
| ryan_ | ? | 15:43 |
| aatk | ryan_: yes, but I'm not at my computer | 15:43 |
| xubuntu_noob | I'm just installing and saying hi.... but I might migrate 15 pc's from a Win domain to linux so I may be back soon | 15:43 |
| moxyr | sorry ryan, dual screen / project stuff all happens with nvidia-settings here... have no idea how to pull that off in xorg.conf | 15:44 |
| ryan_ | im running ati | 15:44 |
| ryan_ | would gnome work better | 15:44 |
| ryan_ | i used to run xubuntu on my laptop before it broke | 15:44 |
| moxyr | xubuntu_noob: I hope you'll enjoy the expierence | 15:45 |
| xubuntu_noob | Thanks moxyr :) I hope my users will before all...! | 15:45 |
| charlie-tca | xubuntu_noob: great! | 15:45 |
| xubuntu_noob | Yeah, it's an exciting project. | 15:45 |
| ryan_ | it says in the guide i was given to write virtual and the screen size and i did that but obviously not in the right spot | 15:46 |
| aatk | ryan_: you might be able to use xfconf. menu>settings>settings editor then there's a "display" option in there | 15:47 |
| aatk | I'm sure that's how I've done it before | 15:48 |
| aatk | anyway, i'm heading home, if you've not fixed it by the time I'm back I'll dig out a monitor and try it on my laptop | 15:49 |
| ryan_ | i did that | 15:49 |
| ryan_ | theres no extensions | 15:49 |
| ryan_ | just flipping it and stuff | 15:49 |
| ryan_ | oh | 15:51 |
| ryan_ | wait | 15:51 |
| ryan_ | i mean im in that | 15:51 |
| ryan_ | not sure what to change | 15:51 |
| ryan_ | i saw something that said primary that might be it | 15:51 |
| ryan_ | brb | 16:14 |
| aatk | any luck> | 17:01 |

| jtickle | Hey folks, I just installed xubuntu 11.04, and I can't seem to get my dual monitors to do anything but mirror | 19:34 |
| jtickle | the Setting Manager > Display thing just doesn't have options for things like left-of or right-of | 19:34 |
| jtickle | the settings in Settings Editor > displays look exactly right | 19:34 |
| Sysi | use nvidia/ati-thingy or arandr | 19:34 |
| Sysi | depending what drivers you have | 19:35 |
| jtickle | well, if I do xrandr at the command line, all is well... I just prefer not to do that every time I log in | 19:35 |
| jtickle | oh, arandr, is that different? | 19:35 |
| Sysi | GUI for xrandr | 19:36 |
| jtickle | this looks like a winner | 19:36 |
| jtickle | thanks! | 19:36 |
| Sysi | you can put the xrandr-script to Settings → sessions and startup → autostart | 19:37 |
| jtickle | perfect, thanks Sysi | 19:39 |
| Mandrew | hello is ubuntu netbook version running on the same kernal as the rest of *buntu distros? | 21:43 |
| pleia2 | xubuntu doesn't have a netbook version and the netbook version for ubuntu went away with 11.04 | 21:45 |
| Sysi | *xubuntu never was the netbook version | 21:45 |
| Sysi | but about every buntu use the same kernel | 21:46 |
| Mandrew | so the netbook version that ubuntu released didnt have a modified kernel? | 21:47 |
| Sysi | no, what version you're talking about? number | 21:48 |
| Sysi | problem with sound or wifi? | 21:48 |
| Mandrew | no i dont have any problems with a OS just wondering about the kernel, cuz ive heard that it had a modified kernel | 21:50 |
| Sysi | there are ubuntu-based distroes with modified kernel images but all ubuntu officials have quite the same | 21:51 |
| Mandrew | ok so it was just a misunderstanding from my side then | 21:52 |
| Sysi | I think I heard that rumour too, but it was some versions ago | 21:53 |
| Mandrew | ok well thanks for the help | 21:54 |
