| h00k | Try control+tab | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| h00k | It looks hot! | 00:01 |
| BUGabundo | h00k: -_-' OLD | 00:01 |
| h00k | BUGabundo: NO YOU ARE | 00:01 |
| h00k | BUGabundo: is that on the list to replace alt-tab? | 00:01 |
| BUGabundo | no | 00:02 |
| h00k | Huh, so, it's just duplicating that feature? | 00:02 |
| h00k | with nicer-looking icons? | 00:02 |
| h00k | That seems silly. | 00:02 |
| h00k | BUGabundo: can't be that new, I was just ctrl+tabbing chromium browser windows like...yesterday, I think | 00:31 |
| BUGabundo | ahh you said ctrl.. I read super | 00:31 |
| BUGabundo | sorry | 00:31 |
| h00k | BUGabundo: :) No, ctrl! Try it! | 00:33 |
| BUGabundo | I'm on lubuntu | 00:33 |
| h00k | ahha. | 00:33 |
| h00k | I bet it doesn't work ;) | 00:34 |
| h00k | Alt+tab: http://i.imgur.com/jhoPX.jpg, and Ctrl+tab: http://i.imgur.com/caxmR.jpg | 00:40 |
| BUGabundo | looks good | 00:41 |
| h00k | Yeah! | 00:42 |
| h00k | Also, I have that battery monitor | 00:42 |
| h00k | :( | 00:46 |
| BUGabundo | i share his enthusiasm! i better go to bed! https://plus.google.com/110546133384368429145/posts/QWbCBz8oi6u | 01:04 |
| strace | Anyone else having strange graphical problems with Unity and ATI? (both open source and closed source) | 01:24 |
| snadge | can anyone recommend a blog or something like that, with commentary about whats happening with oneirc dev at the moment? | 03:24 |
| snadge | i'd like to assist by doing some testing.. and i have been doing so on at least one machine, with some success.. until the past few days, there has been a significant amount of x.org updates, updates to compiz, nux etc | 03:27 |
| snadge | anyways.. fglrx is refusing to cooperate now, im getting black rectangles all over the screen | 03:28 |
| snadge | i tried the radeon driver, and cant get it to display anything at all | 03:28 |
| snadge | i understand im meant to have a higher competence level to be doing this, and im most likely annoying seasoned devs by "getting in the way" .. but i can figure out quite a lot on my own.. it would be nice to receive some advice, or have someone point out some information that might be able to assist me.. or i could just not do this, and only use natty | 03:32 |
| snadge | really? ubuntu dev channel is really this quiet? :p | 03:38 |
| bjsnider | it's night | 03:38 |
| bjsnider | people often engage in a little-known seldom-used activity called "sleep" | 03:39 |
| snadge | i guess so .. its lunch time here, i forget that the world is spherical, rotates upon its axis and revolves around a giant ball of hydrogen fusing into helium and other heavier atoms sometimes | 03:39 |
| bjsnider | this activity usually makes it hard to respond to irc messages | 03:40 |
| rww | !night | 03:41 |
| ubottu | It's the middle of the night in the US and Europe, and surrounds. This means that a lot of people are likely asleep, therefore there are less potential people who can answer your question. Please be patient, and consider asking at a time when more people will be awake. This is particularly true in the quieter channels. | 03:41 |
| bjsnider | phoronix and webupd8 often have info about oneiric | 03:41 |
| rww | there's a factoid for everything :3 | 03:41 |
| bjsnider | rww, did you write that one for the bot? | 03:42 |
| rww | !-night | 03:42 |
| ubottu | night has no aliases - added by Hobbsee on 2007-05-27 13:30:59 - last edited by Hobbsee on 2007-05-27 13:35:36 | 03:42 |
| bjsnider | who writes these things? | 03:42 |
| snadge | yeah.. phoronix is great actually.. if it wasn't for phoronix i'd have zero idea about whats happening with fglrx/radeon and vaapi support | 03:42 |
| bjsnider | hobbsee is australian. very strange | 03:43 |
| snadge | it makes sense to me.. im australian too | 03:43 |
| snadge | and i guess im the one that message was directed at ;) | 03:43 |
| bjsnider | i suspect a huge conspiracy | 03:43 |
| snadge | its only us aussies that are up and at them when the US and UK is asleep | 03:43 |
| bjsnider | i figgered | 03:44 |
| snadge | thats how come the english speaking world has been able to dominate the world.. we take it in turns whilst each other is sleeping.. j/k | 03:44 |
| rww | also, people in the US that don't sleep properly o/ | 03:44 |
| snadge | it is a conspiracy, canonical was started by a south african who lives in the UK.. a conspiracy of english speaking nations | 03:45 |
| bjsnider | no, it's the cia | 03:45 |
| bjsnider | always the cia | 03:46 |
| snadge | hes a cia and mi5 agent.. double | 03:46 |
| snadge | who else here is actually brave enough to dedicate a physical machine to oneiric? | 03:47 |
| bjsnider | you're talking to sleepers | 03:48 |
| snadge | and has installed updates in the past few days and uses x :p | 03:48 |
| nit-wit | it crashes x like natty | 03:48 |
| nit-wit | a reported bug | 03:48 |
| snadge | im just getting blotchy black rectangle with fglx, and nothing with radeon.. no crashing thankfully | 03:48 |
| snadge | radeon 6300m | 03:49 |
| bjsnider | fglrx rarely works for long during a dev cycle. they usually update it at the very end | 03:49 |
| nit-wit | I finally had to just install fedora xfce, I can't watch a vid | 03:49 |
| snadge | yeah thats kind of annoying bjsnider ... do canonical devs at least get preview versions of catalyst from amd? | 03:49 |
| snadge | or have access to an fglrx dev tree? | 03:49 |
| bjsnider | i think so | 03:50 |
| snadge | i'd sign an nda for that :P or slip somemone cash | 03:50 |
| bjsnider | but if you want working graphics during a dev cycle you have to go with intel or nvidia | 03:50 |
| snadge | given that all of my hardware except my netbook uses catalyst.. and i want my netbook to actually work, that makes things tough | 03:51 |
| bjsnider | catalyst is just a marketing word | 03:51 |
| snadge | fglrx then.. they're kind of interchangeable to me | 03:52 |
| bjsnider | ati/amd | 03:52 |
| snadge | fglrx is specific to linux.. catalyst encompasses the proprietary driver on all platforms | 03:52 |
| bjsnider | you did not choose hardware that is as linux friendly as some | 03:52 |
| snadge | amd are trying to make amends for what is actually ati's doing | 03:52 |
| snadge | and they have opened up a lot of stuff.. it must be hard work or something | 03:53 |
| bjsnider | opened up what? they haven't released any documentation in years | 03:53 |
| snadge | they really could be doing better, if nvidia has better support for in development code | 03:54 |
| snadge | especially if they want more than just a handful of people to test their driver before its released | 03:54 |
| snadge | to me.. that tells me that they just dont care | 03:54 |
| bjsnider | nvidia replaces mesa entirely, so in not depending on mesa they can quickly add support for new x-servers and kernels | 03:54 |
| snadge | the xvba sources just got opened up recently | 03:55 |
| snadge | too little.. too late | 03:55 |
| snadge | and hasn't some of their documentation assisted the radeon driver with new chipset support and limited 3d support improvements | 03:56 |
| bjsnider | yea, back in 2008 it did | 03:56 |
| bjsnider | my calendar says it isn't 2008 right now | 03:56 |
| snadge | im just kind of gutted at the moment | 03:57 |
| snadge | went out and bought an amd based zacate board for my htpc.. which works great under windows.. can get it to work reasonably with natty, with some minor problems | 03:57 |
| bjsnider | besides, it's really ahrd to code graphics drivers, and documentation alone ain't gonna git 'er done | 03:58 |
| snadge | upgraded it to oneiric thinking.. well why not, obviously before things are going to get better they're going to get worse.. i may as well follow along out of curiosity | 03:59 |
| snadge | and now it turns out i can't even help, or follow whats going on.. because i've got no display in X at all, even with the radeon driver.. sigh | 03:59 |
| bjsnider | did you buy the amd board because it was cheap or something? | 04:00 |
| snadge | both value for money, and features.. they're an excellent board | 04:00 |
| snadge | http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_CPU_on_Board/E35M1I_DELUXE/ | 04:00 |
| snadge | on paper, its better than atom/ion2 | 04:00 |
| bjsnider | the difficulty i have with it is that it's not intel | 04:00 |
| snadge | most of my stuff is amd | 04:01 |
| snadge | it may not be technically superior in all areas.. but compared to whatever the intel equivalent is, its usually a lot better value for money | 04:01 |
| bjsnider | that's like saying you wanted to run the 4-minute mile so you started your plan by intentionally breaking both your legs | 04:02 |
| snadge | i've never personally had a problem with amd cpus.. ati/radeon, is a completely different story | 04:02 |
| snadge | im sure i could quite happily use nvidia with amd, and enjoy far less problems | 04:02 |
| bjsnider | i mean i'm sure it's reasonably functional on windows, if that floats your boat | 04:02 |
| snadge | oh yeah.. i think i mentioned earlier this hardware is excellent under windows 7 | 04:03 |
| snadge | and thankfully it dual boots.. its just unfortunate i didnt make it a triple boot for oneiric | 04:03 |
| snadge | instead i stupidly chose to upgrade my natty installation.. and part of me would rather wait for things to unbreak in oneiric, than reinstall natty | 04:04 |
| snadge | because i can still use windows in the meantime.. or console ;) *shrugs* | 04:04 |
| daurnimator | how stable is 3.0rc7? | 04:12 |
| snadge | linux 3 is very stable | 04:43 |
| snadge | xorg and friends is a completely different story | 04:44 |
| rww | daurnimator: about as stable as every other Linux RC. It's not really notable, despite the version bumb. | 04:44 |
| rww | bump ** | 04:44 |
| daurnimator | rww: I want to use va-api with amd fusion (zacate); its apparently only in 39+ with optimisations in 3.0. | 05:16 |
| snadge | daurnimator: i love you | 05:32 |
| snadge | i think we're the only two people in the universe who owns an amd zacate platform and want to use it with linux ;) | 05:33 |
| snadge | i had vaapi working fine.. until a few days ago, when something exploded in x.org | 05:35 |
| snadge | and now i have black rectangles all over my display | 05:35 |
| snadge | if you have access to pre-release fglrx 11.7 for linux.. now is the time to say so :p | 05:36 |
| Squall5668 | Hello, anyone care to give me a hand with an Ubuntu 11.10 box that boots in BusyBox right after the upgrade? At least how i can see what's wrong so i can do reinstalls with chrooting. I can't understand anything in dmesg | 08:55 |
| Squall5668 | at least a guide on how to understand the output of dmesg? | 09:01 |
| bazhang | !dmesg | 09:02 |
| ubottu | dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. | 09:02 |
| Squall5668 | eh, can i output it to a file then? since i can't see anything on the lines i can read, nothing like "Error" or "Warning" :/ | 09:03 |
| antihero | How would I switch the new unity switcher to be on Alt+Tab not Ctrl+tab? | 09:27 |
| antihero | Surely the convention would be to have put it on Super+Tab instead of messing with everyone's in-app tabbing? | 09:28 |
| dr_willis | Hmm.. cant seem to get the nvidia drivers working.. broke about 2 days ago. | 12:04 |
| coz_ | dr_willis, and I was about to install :( | 12:06 |
| dr_willis | it was working.. then broke about 2 days ago. tried removing it.. cant seem to get the nv driver going either | 12:06 |
| coz_ | dr_willis, oh man,, always n vidia but its not unusual at this stage | 12:09 |
| dr_willis | yea. but just seems odd its been broke for 3 days straight now. :) luckly i can irc/znc from the con sole. | 12:11 |
| dr_willis | One odd bug i noticed.. lightdm kept starting/crashing soo fast it looked like the console was flickering... | 12:11 |
| dr_willis | it never did error out like 'we crashed 100 times in 20 sec.... aborting...' :) | 12:11 |
| jamesbond2 | Hi I have question about unity. I don't see any button for reboot/shutdown etc | 12:14 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, see if ctrl+delete brings up the shutdown dialog UI | 12:16 |
| jamesbond2 | coz_: that doesn | 12:17 |
| coz_ | mm | 12:17 |
| jamesbond2 | coz_: that doesn't work for me | 12:17 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, I was just about to install oneiric until I heard about nvidia issues,, unless they changed that keybinding it should have brought the shutdown dialog UI up | 12:18 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, sorry i is crl+alt+delete | 12:18 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, try that ^^^ | 12:18 |
| jamesbond2 | i get popup with logout option :) | 12:19 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, oh darn, it was changed then,, that's what happens on gnome3 also | 12:19 |
| jamesbond2 | ok | 12:20 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, I havent had anyone give me the command for the shutdown dialog UI on gnome3 which apparenlty is also on 11.10 now | 12:21 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, if I find it,, I will let you know :) | 12:21 |
| jamesbond2 | thnx coz_ | 12:21 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, this is a partiularly important one for me,, I use easystroke and need to associate that command with a gesture | 12:21 |
| jamesbond2 | it's bad that they have removed the button on the panel | 12:22 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, yeah,, I know | 12:23 |
| jamesbond2 | coz_ | 12:31 |
| jamesbond2 | i have the solution | 12:31 |
| coz_ | ooo cool | 12:31 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, what is it? | 12:31 |
| jamesbond2 | indicator-messages-gtk2 | 12:31 |
| jamesbond2 | indicator-session-gtk2 | 12:31 |
| jamesbond2 | those packages are needed | 12:31 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, those are the commands? | 12:31 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, ah | 12:32 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, interesting they are not already installed | 12:32 |
| jamesbond2 | indeed | 12:32 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, perhaps at release they will be | 12:32 |
| jamesbond2 | coz_: i hope so | 12:34 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, did you install them, yet? | 12:34 |
| jamesbond2 | coz_: Yes and it's working | 12:35 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, with the same keybinding? | 12:35 |
| coz_ | ctrl+alt+delete? | 12:35 |
| jamesbond2 | that is still only log out option. But the desktop show now the shutdown button | 12:37 |
| coz_ | jamesbond2, then there has to be a keybinding / command to bring it up | 12:37 |
| jamesbond2 | ok | 12:42 |
| BUGabundo | bRoas | 12:59 |
| BUGabundo | wow | 13:00 |
| BUGabundo | h00k was right | 13:00 |
| BUGabundo | ctrl tab is over writing every other app | 13:00 |
| BUGabundo | I can't use Pidgin anymore or Chormium | 13:00 |
| BUGabundo | if anyone has *any* idea on how to remove ctrl+tab shortcut in unity/gnome3 PLEASE let me know! its USELESS like this | 13:32 |
| dr_willis | that would be a ccsm setting/plugin i think | 13:33 |
| dr_willis | I cant even get to X right now.. :) | 13:33 |
| BUGabundo | let me check so | 13:34 |
| dr_willis | I recall compiz having like 4 differnt 'plugins' that could do that alt-tab stuff.. | 13:35 |
| dr_willis | differnt eyecaney/look was the main feature of them i recall. | 13:35 |
| BUGabundo | thanks | 13:36 |
| BUGabundo | THANK YOU | 13:36 |
| BUGabundo | its the Unity plugin shortcut | 13:36 |
| BUGabundo | h00k: ^^^^^^^ | 13:36 |
| BUGabundo | wait | 13:38 |
| BUGabundo | not its not | 13:38 |
| BUGabundo | its disabled and still doesn't change it | 13:38 |
| BUGabundo | fuuuuuuuuuu | 13:38 |
| dr_willis | disable all of them? :) disable compiz? Reconfigure the warp drive! | 13:53 |
| dr_willis | (watching startrek right now....) | 13:53 |
| BUGabundo | :D | 13:55 |
| coz_ | :) | 13:59 |
| daurnimator | snadge: sadly I do not; any progres on your end? | 14:01 |
| sudipta | can anyone share some desktop-screenshots of gnome shell with me? | 14:26 |
| dr_willis | I cant even get 11.10 to boot to X at the moment. :) | 14:27 |
| sudipta | natural...still in alpha :) | 14:28 |
| snadge | daurnimator: i gave up and have been trying to fix an unrelated performance issue in xbmc | 14:32 |
| snadge | i was going to try out unity-2d with fglrx.. to see if that worked | 14:32 |
| snadge | to see if its just a problem with compiz/nux | 14:32 |
| daurnimator | snadge: I tried to give up but i seem to have lost all my windows discs+isos >.< | 14:35 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy | 14:38 |
| dr_willis | moo! | 14:41 |
| BluesKaj | How now brown cow , what's new with you ? | 14:50 |
| BluesKaj | dr_willis, :) | 14:50 |
| snadge | i've nearly cracked this xbmc issue though.. so i have renewed enthusiasm, this could be my first useful patch :p | 14:50 |
| === Omega is now known as Troletariat | ||
| === Troletariat is now known as Omega | ||
| BluesKaj | snadge, which xbmc , the stand alone or the build ? | 14:53 |
| dr_willis | Playing with my 'boxee' box today. | 14:55 |
| BluesKaj | there's more than 2 xbmc versions , now when I think about it | 14:56 |
| dr_willis | then the boxee spinoff. | 14:56 |
| dr_willis | got boxee and xbmc both on the PC in the front room. wife tends to perfer xbmc. | 14:57 |
| BluesKaj | tried it for a while..found it too cluttered , and the menus are clunky , went back to vlc | 14:58 |
| BluesKaj | xbmc that is | 14:58 |
| dr_willis | it has themes.. it also does 100x things then vlc does. :) | 14:59 |
| dr_willis | boxee seems to do more things then xbmc does even. | 15:00 |
| dr_willis | Coolest trick i learned for VLC, boxee, and xbmc is to use my android phone as a remote. :) | 15:02 |
| bjsnider | there's no shortage of media center apps for linux | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | we just wanted a player that plays the media without too much fuss | 15:05 |
| snadge | BluesKaj: its a mysql database performance issue with any version of xbmc | 15:09 |
| snadge | well i think only 11.0-pre which is latest git version has mysql support | 15:09 |
| snadge | most people dont use the mysql database option | 15:09 |
| snadge | but it becomes of use if you wish to share the same media collection amongst multiple clients | 15:10 |
| onca | hi. how can I install gnome as it is in the oneiric-desktop-amd64.iso liveCD | 15:10 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, I tried the git version, but it had too many undefeatable default options like subtitles in foreign languges that couldn't be turned off | 15:11 |
| snadge | you press t to turn subtitles off :p | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | snadge, ^ | 15:11 |
| dr_willis | onca: it should be that way by default. If your 3d drivers are set to work with Unity. | 15:11 |
| snadge | im compiling xbmc from source for what i want to do.. packages are a bit useless | 15:11 |
| snadge | im contributing to upstream.. ubuntu can wait :p | 15:12 |
| BluesKaj | snadge, odd , that was my first try ...didn't turn anything on or off | 15:12 |
| BluesKaj | T that is | 15:12 |
| snadge | i havn't seen that myself.. perhaps its a bug with a specific video or subtitle format i dont know | 15:12 |
| onca | dr_willis, I understand, but say I'm trying to mimic on another instillation ? | 15:13 |
| snadge | it might be encoded into the video itself | 15:13 |
| snadge | play it with mplayer or something else ;) | 15:13 |
| BluesKaj | maybe the version had too many flaws , I was running natty bets at the time ..integration was obviouslt iffy | 15:13 |
| onca | vlc ftw | 15:14 |
| snadge | ahh things have changed since then.. if you tried it again, it would probably work | 15:14 |
| dr_willis | onca: on a differnet ubuntu version? | 15:14 |
| snadge | it compiled on natty without issues for me.. and oneiric as well, when it wasnt broken that is | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 15:15 |
| onca | dr_willis, uhm, naw, gentoo. | 15:16 |
| * onca *squirms* | 15:16 | |
| onca | please. | 15:16 |
| dr_willis | onca: good luck with getting unity on gentoo. | 15:16 |
| onca | unity .. | 15:16 |
| dr_willis | !unity | 15:16 |
| BluesKaj | well, I'm sticking with VLC anyway ...it passes the digital audio like I set it up , relatively simple and direct | 15:16 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to GNOME; see !classic. | 15:16 |
| onca | that's a new one to me | 15:16 |
| onca | documentation here I come. | 15:17 |
| onca | thank you dr_willis. | 15:17 |
| onca | alright if I stick around? | 15:17 |
| BluesKaj | how's the state of nvidia drivers on X with the new 3.0 kernel release ? | 15:34 |
| penguin42 | BluesKaj: Ther earen't any big changes in 3.0 (except the number) | 15:35 |
| BluesKaj | penguin42, let me rephrase that..how's the kernel source support for nvidia ? | 15:37 |
| Ian_Corne | atm I can't install nvidia current via jockey | 15:38 |
| dr_willis | Ian_Corne: dont work here either... | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | penguin42, I'm on natty and thinking of upgrading , but my last try broke X | 15:38 |
| dr_willis | No nvidia for me.. for now. been patently waiting. :) | 15:38 |
| * yofel has nvidia working, but installed by apt-get | 15:39 | |
| penguin42 | Intel works fine :-) | 15:39 |
| yofel | 275 *does* support kernel 3.0 in any case | 15:39 |
| yofel | my last issue with nvidia was udev/initrd related | 15:39 |
| BluesKaj | yofel, how did yo fix that | 15:41 |
| yofel | I worked around it by forcing nouveau out of the initrd, but the bug is fixed by now | 15:41 |
| penguin42 | hmm - not exactly stable at the moment :-( | 16:02 |
| Ian_Corne | had to apt-get install nvidia-current --reinstall | 16:02 |
| Ian_Corne | but it works now | 16:02 |
| snadge | im testing this xbmc database performance patch :p | 16:03 |
| snadge | if it works and gets accepted that will be a defining moment hehe | 16:03 |
| antihero | How do I redefine the new Ctrl+Tab behaviour in Unity to be on Alt+Tab? | 16:05 |
| dr_willis | antihero: that would be a compiz plugin setting i imagine | 16:12 |
| antihero | dr_willis: cool | 16:13 |
| dr_willis | I dont even see a nvidia 275 version yofel :) I was using nvidia-current a few days ago.. then broke about 2 days back | 16:13 |
| antihero | dr_willis: Hmm, changed the logical options, has made no difference. I'll try reinit | 16:15 |
| dr_willis | ive seen compiz quirks in the past where changes in ccsm dont take affect till you relogin/out | 16:16 |
| Ian_Corne | dr_willis: I'vegot 275.09.07-0ubuntu4 installed atm | 16:17 |
| Ian_Corne | and it works | 16:17 |
| dr_willis | Hmm | 16:18 |

| antihero | ah, got it now | 16:19 |
| dr_willis | Had to use a biger hammer? | 16:20 |
| antihero | It just worked this time, when I had the old switcher enabled it asked to steal the hotkey and I said OK | 16:22 |
| antihero | this switcher is much faster and nicer | 16:22 |

| cjohnston | I'm trying to install the propriatry wireless drivers, however when I do I get an error saying look at /var/log/jockey.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/650742/ any ideas? | 18:09 |
| trism | cjohnston: do you have the linux-headers package for your current kernel installed? I see a post on ubuntu forums that suggests that error is a result of the headers not being install when you try to activate the driver with jockey | 18:17 |
| cjohnston | trism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/650752/ it looks like it | 18:18 |
| dr_willis | yea. got X going now. | 18:54 |
| penguin42 | anyone having problems with windows+number not working on unity this week? | 18:59 |
| dr_willis | Hmm. not working at all here | 19:01 |
| dr_willis | shows text in some little search box at the bottom right here... | 19:01 |
| penguin42 | oh I don't get a search box, they just don't do anything | 19:05 |
| dr_willis | not sure that the box is .. little text entry field at buttom right | 19:06 |
| dr_willis | actually when imn in this termiunal window. i dont even get that.. the text goes here | 19:07 |
| dr_willis | 12345 | 19:07 |
| penguin42 | nod that's what I'm seeing | 19:07 |
| dr_willis | the #'s appear over the icons. but text goes here | 19:07 |
| dr_willis | if i open a file maanger window. and do it.. the text appears in a little box at the bottom left of the filemanager window | 19:08 |
| dr_willis | same as if i was not holding the win-key | 19:08 |
| dr_willis | so basically i can say.. yes. the win-key seem,s to do nothing other then make the #'s show on the icons... | 19:12 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| antihero | dr-willis: I get that - I pres winkey+# and nothing happens | 21:39 |
| dr-willis | yep. | 21:39 |
| dr-willis | they sort of fovus a lot pn keybord shorycuts in unity. sort of counterintuitive at times | 21:40 |
| dr-willis | win key is getting used for too many tjings. | 21:41 |
| penguin42 | I guess it's not doing much otherwise | 22:12 |
| BluesKaj | upgraded to Oneiric , but desktop effects sttings are still ignored , I see | 22:27 |
