[18:01] <scott__> need help w/ evolution settings?
[18:02] <scott__> can someone plz help me w/ evolution settings?
[18:07] <scott__> i need help w/ evolution mail settings and desktop cube settings
[18:13] <scott__> can someone please help me w/ settings for cube & evolution mail?
[18:37] <Lutsen> can you tell us what exactly is the help that you need?  What are you trying to figure out?
[18:39] <scott__> i need help w/ the settings for the cube.  i am trying to setup the cube in natty.
[18:42] <Lutsen> do you mean the desktop cube? the animation that can be set to occur when switching from one virtual desktop to another?
[18:46] <scott__> Lutsen: yes i am trying to setup desktop cube in natty.
[18:47] <Lutsen> okay, if you haven't yet: sudo apt-get install ccsm
[18:47] <Lutsen> then system > preferences > compizconfig settings manager
[18:48] <Lutsen> then click on desktop on the left
[18:48] <scott__> lutsen: k, now what do i do in compizconfig
[18:48] <Lutsen> have you been through this much so far?
[18:48] <Lutsen> depends on what you want it to do
[18:49] <Lutsen> clicking the box next to desktop cube will eneable it
[18:49] <Lutsen> enable
[18:49] <scott__> i want to be able to click my mouse button & drag to different desktop
[18:52] <scott__> lutsen: do u understand?
[18:53] <Lutsen> okay, I know what you mean.  I used to use that feature with maverick but haven't lately with natty.  natty has the feature where if you drag the window to the edge of the screen it will expand the window to take up half of your monitor.  pretty sure that has to be disabled before you can use cube to drag to another desktop
[18:54] <Lutsen> not sure off the top of my head how that's done, does anyone else?
[18:54] <scott__> lutsen: right now i cant even rotate the cube
[19:04] <Lutsen> this is interesting.  I haven't tried messing with cube since using natty, in maverick it "just worked" but the seemingly appropriate settings aren't working for me either
[19:06] <urlin2u> cube works in natty unity y9ou just have to know how to set it up, mine does have problem with loosing the window panel buttons though, but a restart of compiz fixes that.
[19:06] <scott__> i loved using the cube in maverick. since i upgraded to natty, i've been trying to make the cube work.
[19:07] <Lutsen> are you in unity or ubu classic
[19:07] <scott__> classic view
[19:11] <Lutsen> urlin2u: do you know how to help scott_?  now that they got me looking at this too, I'd also like to be able to get this working
[19:11] <urlin2u> I can try mor inclined to find the web page I used for the cube?
[19:12] <urlin2u> more
[19:13] <Lutsen> I'm lookin at http://wiki.compiz.org/ . It's pretty but not terribly helpful.
[19:15] <urlin2u> the process of getting the cube running will make the desktop unresponsive, at times so you need a desktop launcher to give it a kick when it does, or be able to crtl-alt-f2 to tty and logout...etc
[19:16] <urlin2u> the fusion icon, does not work fully in natty but you can install it make a launcher on the desktop as a compiz restart when clicked.
[19:17] <urlin2u> this looks pretty much like the set up I have without the specific tweaks in the plugins. http://ubuntu4beginners.blogspot.com/2011/05/enable-desktop-cube-in-unity-ubuntu.html
[19:19] <urlin2u> Lutsen, the compiz link is okay for understanding , but for natty it is a bit trickier, so the link is somewhat helpful.
[19:20] <urlin2u> hope that is a start. ;)
[19:23] <scott__> i'll give it a try
[19:41] <urlin2u> scott__, ask any question =s if needed. ;)
