gorilla | Who's a moderator for the Ubuntu-Au mailing list? | 06:29 |
---|---|---|
elky | head_victim, myself and dns53. | 06:34 |
elky | we can't delete messages though, and you don't need one of us to be the one to tell a conversation to stop. | 06:35 |
gorilla | elky: I was curious. | 06:39 |
gorilla | The concept of deleting emails after they have been sent is off. Kind of works with Exchange servers but only if your client handles the recall message propewrly. | 06:40 |
gorilla | s/off/odd/ | 06:41 |
bradm | Exchange recall messages to mailing lists are fun | 06:42 |
gorilla | bradm: even internally they can be fun, especially if it's an email that was sensitive... quick send it to the printers before it gets deleted. :-P I didn't, others did though. | 06:53 |
bradm | yeah, it always makes people think, "Now, what was in that email that they didn't want me to see" | 06:53 |
gorilla | Yep. It tends to be even more intriguing when there was no attachment. | 06:55 |
blahdeblah | Just upgraded my first system to natty | 09:53 |
blahdeblah | Ugh - how do you stop the dock thingy from disappearing like that? | 09:53 |
blahdeblah | Drives me crazy | 09:54 |
blahdeblah | And let me guess - workrave is no longer supported in the notification area... | 09:56 |
blahdeblah | Wow. The more i touch this interface, the more i hate it. | 09:59 |
head_victim | blahdeblah: one of these days I'll actually get it on my main machine. | 10:02 |
head_victim | I'm probably going to wait until 12.04 so it's a little more customisable though. | 10:02 |
blahdeblah | They've made a lot of UI choices that i think are pretty lame. | 10:03 |
blahdeblah | Almost makes me want to learn FreeBSD just so i can be a bit more retro. | 10:03 |
head_victim | I don't mind it, the first thing I do though is make the side thingy (technical name there) as small as it will go for each icon. | 10:04 |
head_victim | So that it takes up less space and lets me show a few more things. | 10:04 |
head_victim | I use conky for most of my status things anyway so panel applets aren't a big thing to me. | 10:05 |
head_victim | And on that note, I have to be awake at 4am again so I'll bid you farewell. | 10:06 |
blahdeblah | later, head_victim | 10:07 |
blahdeblah | Anyone else know how to make the dock smaller and non-disappearing under natty? | 10:08 |
elky | install ccsm, unity settings are a compiz plugin | 10:09 |
blahdeblah | just found that in the help | 10:09 |
blahdeblah | how can they not install that by default? | 10:10 |
* elky shrugs | 10:10 | |
* blahdeblah thinks he'll probably shrug all the way to Debian | 10:10 | |
elky | bye then | 10:11 |
elky | i really have no patience for that attitude | 10:11 |
gorilla | yep, it' | 10:11 |
gorilla | s not helful. | 10:11 |
gorilla | helpful rather. | 10:11 |
blahdeblah | gorilla: You're leaving it wide open for a pun right there. ;-) | 10:12 |
blahdeblah | If my reading of the help is correct, there is no way to keep the panel visible | 10:14 |
blahdeblah | Is that correct? | 10:14 |
elky | i don't know. my colleague appears to have it visible all the time | 10:15 |
elky | i don't know how he did it | 10:15 |
blahdeblah | I just did something that causes it only to disappear when there is a maximised app | 10:16 |
blahdeblah | But i have no idea how | 10:16 |
elky | http://askubuntu.com/questions/35963/how-to-make-the-unity-launcher-always-visible | 10:16 |
gorilla | elky: nice resource. | 10:18 |
blahdeblah | thanks elky | 10:19 |
blahdeblah | Anyone know what "flip up" in the "desktop wall" plugin does? | 10:20 |
blahdeblah | I just changed a setting and it tells me that there's a conflict | 10:21 |
elky | dunno, but from googling, i think it's the thing that shows the 4 desktops zoomed out | 10:23 |
sagaci | expo | 10:24 |
blahdeblah | I think we need to have a community event for training people on unity | 10:24 |
blahdeblah | This desktop makes me feel like i'm a newbie again | 10:25 |
sagaci | :D | 10:25 |
blahdeblah | Call me a grumpy old man, but IMO an interface is an improvement if it makes you feel like you're an expert quickly. Unity makes me feel like i'm a newbie quickly. Not a good feeling. | 10:26 |
blahdeblah | Glad i did this on my old test laptop first. My main laptop is sticking with LTS for now. | 10:27 |
blahdeblah | Night folks. | 10:28 |
