| sjanssen | I tried upgrading from 11.04 to the development version of 11.10. Upgrade failed in the "immediate configure" stage of some python related package | 03:20 |
|---|---|---|
| sjanssen | so I ran update-manager -d, which offered to run a partial upgrade | 03:21 |
| sjanssen | partial upgrade fails with: Could not calculate the upgrade, "E:Error, pkgProblemResolve::Resolve generated breaks" | 03:21 |
| sjanssen | what's my next step? | 03:21 |
| urlin2u | there has been a update for the last two days that removes libreoffice, not sure this is the best time to upgrade. | 03:23 |
| sjanssen | urlin2u: wellll, I already started the upgrade | 03:24 |
| sjanssen | I fear my system might be in an inconsistent state | 03:24 |
| urlin2u | no back up of the original like a clone? | 03:26 |
| sjanssen | urlin2u: nope | 03:27 |
| sjanssen | I could always reinstall, it wouldn't necessarily be the end of the world | 03:27 |
| robin0800 | ubuntu! migration | 03:30 |
| sjanssen | soo, any thoughts? Even some hints on how to troubleshoot this would be great, logs I should check, etc. | 03:32 |
| bjsnider | what command did you use originally to upgrade? | 03:34 |
| sjanssen | bjsnider: just whatever updatemanager-d does | 03:35 |
| sjanssen | erm, update-manager -d | 03:35 |
| bjsnider | well, go back and run the original command, find the name of the python package and try removing it. then run the command again | 03:35 |
| sjanssen | bjsnider: attempting to upgrade again with a partially upgraded system won't cause things to explode? | 03:36 |
| bjsnider | well, to me, from what you've said, they've exploded already | 03:37 |
| sjanssen | ok, explode worse :) | 03:38 |
| bjsnider | you can check /var/log/dpkg.log too | 03:38 |
| bjsnider | and there's /var/log/dist-upgrade with some info inside | 03:39 |
| sjanssen | pyatspi2 is the package | 03:47 |
| bjsnider | now, if you remove it, does it also force out anything else? | 03:48 |
| sjanssen | yikes, it wants to take tons of stuff | 03:48 |
| sjanssen | g++-4.5 gcc-4.1 gcc-4.5 gnome-orca libstdc++6-4.5-dev python-pyatspi | 03:49 |
| sjanssen | oh, but then upgrade those packages | 03:49 |
| bjsnider | that's all? | 03:49 |
| sjanssen | bjsnider: python-pyatspi2 is not installed on my system | 03:49 |
| sjanssen | seemingly conflicts with a package named "python-pyatspi" (ie, no 2) | 03:49 |
| bjsnider | sjanssen, were you using any ppa's before you upgraded? | 03:51 |
| sjanssen | bjsnider: yes | 03:51 |
| bjsnider | any that might affect that package? | 03:52 |
| sjanssen | not that I can tell, atspi is apparently "Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface", can't imagine that any PPA would have a special version of that | 03:53 |
| bjsnider | are you using the gnome 3 ppa? | 03:53 |
| sjanssen | no | 03:54 |
| urlin2u | upgrades turn off the ppa sources, and remove some iof the apps n the process | 03:54 |
| bjsnider | well, anyway, it is safe to remove the package and then do the upgrade | 03:54 |
| sjanssen | ok, thanks | 03:54 |
| Gavekort_ | Hi! Does anyone have experience with the mount.ntfs skyrocketing in 11.10? It's constantly at 90% load, and it freezes my computer. It happened after this recent update. | 04:03 |
| sjanssen | bjsnider: I think the upgrade worked. Thank you very much for your help | 04:33 |
| * sjanssen is rebooting, probably won't be back if everything works | 04:34 | |
| LLStarks | hi, can somebody explain multiarch to me? | 04:40 |
| nhaines | It's like single-arch but there's more of it. | 04:42 |
| nhaines | LLStarks: it means the packaging system is smarter about systems that support multiple architectures. | 04:43 |
| nhaines | For example, if you're on a 64-bit Intel/AMD processor, it can also support 32-bit code. | 04:43 |
| nhaines | So in oneiric, you can install the official Adobe Flash plugin from Canonical on a 64-bit machine. | 04:43 |
| nhaines | Also it'll only pull in the 32-bit libraries it needs, not a huge pack in a compatibility package. | 04:43 |
| Johnny_Giggles | I'm looking for a development platform to code Standard C on. How's 11.10 looking for development compared to 10.04? | 04:45 |
| nhaines | Johnny_Giggles: it's hosting Ubuntu development well. :) | 04:49 |
| Johnny_Giggles | okay | 04:49 |
| Johnny_Giggles | All I'm doing is K&R exercises. Nothing really fancy. | 04:49 |
| nhaines | Johnny_Giggles: In that case, anyhthing should work. | 04:49 |
| nhaines | Also pretend I didn't misspell "anything". | 04:50 |

| rww | bullgard5: that link doesn't say that, but if it did, it would mean there are multiple versions in the archive, probably because of a build failure of some sort | 07:37 |

| nocturn | Hi all | 09:59 |
| nocturn | How can I prevent windows from opening fullscreen by default (Chromium, Thunderbird and Firefox do this)? | 10:00 |
| laoen | Hi! Installed oneiric on asusn55n. Install went well, looks nice. Problem is reboot ends in black screen. Must restart in recovery mode, log in in text mode, then sudo- start lightdm. Then everything seems ok. Any ideas? | 10:00 |
| Lynoure | nocturn: at least in KDE you can take Advanced-> Special window settings, and the Geometry: Apply initially (whatever size you want) | 10:01 |
| nocturn | Lynoure: this behaviour is new in 11.10 AFAIK | 10:02 |
| nocturn | So I hoped to be able to turn it off ... | 10:02 |
| Lynoure | nocturn: I think I just told you one way to turn it off... | 10:02 |
| nocturn | Lynoure: thanks, but I'm on Ubuntu (Gnome), not kubuntu | 10:03 |
| Lynoure | nocturn: ah, then sorry, don't know. | 10:03 |
| laoen | btw onieric is xubuntu | 10:04 |
| nocturn | Anyone having problems with window focus in recent updates, and subsequent unity crashes? | 10:09 |
| carli2 | the libreoffice dependency is broken since the latest update | 10:18 |
| dupondje | no should be fixed now ? | 10:18 |
| carli2 | and when i try to install openoffice instead, it says that it needs libreoffice | 10:21 |
| carli2 | dupondje: not solved after update+install | 10:21 |
| carli2 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/689049/ <- my sources.list | 10:23 |
| dupondje | why would you want openoffice ? | 10:25 |
| carli2 | because libreoffice dependencies are broken | 10:26 |
| carli2 | but openoffice, too | 10:26 |
| dupondje | libreoffice depends are fixed since this morning | 10:28 |
| dupondje | just updated it | 10:28 |
| carli2 | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libreoffice | 10:29 |
| carli2 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/689058/ | 10:30 |
| carli2 | i hate localization for system tools | 10:30 |
| carli2 | oder auf deutsch: voll scheiße, dass die jeden popel übersetzen müssen | 10:31 |
| carli2 | uninstall all libreoffice packages and try to reinstall | 10:33 |
| carli2 | dupondje: how long does it take to have the new deps on all mirror servers? | 10:40 |
| carli2 | ah, it works after i loaded from main server | 10:42 |
| carli2 | btw: there are bugs with gnome-terminal with resizing under awesome | 10:42 |
| carli2 | and an other bug with maximized windows and moving under awsome | 10:43 |

| peto_ | hello | 13:00 |
| knightstalker | Hey | 13:00 |
| peto_ | where can I get the last beta (8 sep) of Oneiric? | 13:01 |
| knightstalker | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule | 13:01 |
| knightstalker | Click on Beta 1 There | 13:01 |
| peto_ | thanks | 13:01 |
| knightstalker | And it directs you to the download links | 13:01 |
| knightstalker | Welcome | 13:01 |
| Pici | The last link of the topic as well. | 13:01 |
| drussell | knightstalker: I can't reproduce your first issue, works as expected here | 13:02 |
| knightstalker | drussell,what about second one? | 13:03 |
| drussell | knightstalker: what wizards? I'm not familiar with them? | 13:03 |
| peto_ | but... the beta1 link links you to the September 1st instead to the more recent September 8th ¿? | 13:04 |
| knightstalker | peto_,What I gave you is official,you can always download snapshots though | 13:05 |
| knightstalker | Not that I recommend them | 13:05 |
| Pici | peto_: Are you looking for a daily image? | 13:05 |
| drussell | peto_: best to install the official beta, and update it | 13:05 |
| drussell | peto_: as the daily images may have *issues* | 13:06 |
| knightstalker | drussel,go to Libreoffice Writer,then File,Then wizards and click on letter for example | 13:06 |
| drussell | knightstalker: correct, I can confirm that's not working | 13:06 |

| knightstalker | it crashes the whole libreoffice Writer here | 13:08 |
| peto_ | I see, I will download the September 1st version thanks, (I thought that all images on this link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule , including September's 8, were equaly reliable | 13:08 |
| drussell | knightstalker: ooh I was just about to type "doesn't do anything but also doesn't crash" | 13:09 |
| drussell | knightstalker: then it crashed :o) | 13:09 |

| peto_ | letting beta 1 make the partitions? | 13:27 |
| peto_ | (virtual partitions, I suppose) | 13:27 |
| peto_ | or is it more secure making the partitions by hand within the 8 GB virtual disk? | 13:29 |

| OwaisL | It stopped working since Sunday I guess | 15:13 |
| OwaisL | My packages are up to date, updated them just 20 mins ago | 15:13 |
| OwaisL | bjsnider, ^ | 15:13 |
| bjsnider | /usr/lib32/libQtDBus.so.4 | 15:13 |
| bjsnider | that is not correct | 15:13 |
| bjsnider | i think that is the problem | 15:13 |
| bjsnider | install libqt4-dbus:i386 | 15:14 |
| bjsnider | find out whatever package it is that's providing that file | 15:15 |
| OwaisL | it's already installed | 15:15 |
| bjsnider | you might have an old ia32-libs or one from a ppa installed | 15:15 |

| bjsnider | if you look here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/i386/libqt4-dbus/filelist | 15:17 |
| bjsnider | the correct path for that file is /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQtDBus.so.4 | 15:17 |
| OwaisL | thanks bjsinder, I'll check it out and let you know | 15:18 |
| bjsnider | you should check to make sure you have hte above file installed, track down what is providing the other version and then remove it and run sudo ldconfig afterwards | 15:19 |
| bjsnider | pretty sure this is a consequence of the move to multiarch in oneiric | 15:19 |

| bjsnider | well, let's say you lose electricity or something | 15:26 |
| OwaisL | hmm, that might be the case | 15:27 |
| bjsnider | maybe you did a manual configure/make make install on a package a while back and it put thatfile there and then you never did a make uninstall | 15:27 |
| OwaisL | anyways, thanks for the help. | 15:27 |
| OwaisL | yes, I was fidling around with touchegg and some other qt apps source | 15:28 |

| james296 | can anyone here tell me why my clock isnt showing the time at all? All its showing is the word Time | 18:51 |
| dbmit | im having a problem installing oneiric on my pc | 18:59 |
| dbmit | is there anyone who can help me | 19:00 |
| james296 | it seems no one here is talking today | 19:01 |
| Exodus | dbmit, describe your problem and if someone is here and knows how to help you we will | 19:01 |
| james296 | Exodus could you help me with the problem I asked about before? | 19:01 |
| james296 | about the clock only saying the word Time instead of the actual time? | 19:02 |
| Exodus | james296, I just got here 5min ago | 19:02 |
| james296 | ok | 19:02 |
| Exodus | james296, clock in Unity? | 19:02 |
| james296 | I asked about it just now | 19:02 |
| james296 | yes | 19:02 |
| dbmit | ok so i tried to install and it goes through the whole process then it gets to the point where the background is displayed but the desktop or successful install wont pop up | 19:03 |
| Exodus | james296, maybe you have your time offset wrong | 19:03 |
| james296 | no matter what I try I cant seem to make it show the current time | 19:03 |
| Exodus | james296, have you set your location? | 19:03 |
| james296 | it says under the Time and Date settings 3:03pm | 19:03 |
| james296 | I tried that yes | 19:03 |
| Exodus | james296, when you check the location does it display the correct location? | 19:03 |
| james296 | no matter where I click it STILL says Time | 19:03 |
| james296 | it just says localtime and nothing is selected | 19:04 |
| james296 | but even if I select something its still the same | 19:04 |
| dbmit | ?? | 19:04 |
| Exodus | james296, is Network Time enabled? | 19:04 |
| james296 | I guess so, the option Automatically from the Internet is enabled | 19:05 |
| Exodus | dbmit, it's difficult to know what went wrong with just that information, could you maybe supply some log files? | 19:05 |
| dbmit | how do i get to them? | 19:05 |
| Exodus | james296, so you have your correct location set and the network time setting is enabled, yet it's not the correct time? | 19:06 |
| james296 | correct | 19:06 |
| Exodus | dbmit, hmm, install logs, can't remember where they are, but check /var/log/ for that | 19:07 |
| james296 | it doesnt display any time | 19:07 |
| james296 | just the word Time | 19:07 |
| Exodus | any time? =O | 19:07 |
| Exodus | james296, can you supply a screenshot? | 19:07 |
| dbmit | through the command line correct? | 19:07 |
| james296 | whats the easiest way to do that in Ubuntu? | 19:07 |
| Exodus | just hit print screen | 19:07 |
| Exodus | upload it to any image site | 19:08 |
| james296 | well what if I just want a screenshot of the area that the problem is at? | 19:08 |
| Exodus | hm, edit the image than, gimp | 19:08 |
| james296 | so theres no way to crop the screen easily? | 19:09 |
| Exodus | not from the screenshot ¬¬ | 19:09 |
| Exodus | To crop the screenshot use an image manipulation tool like GIMP | 19:10 |
| james296 | can I send you the pic? | 19:10 |
| urlin2u | james296, select an area to grab in screenshot | 19:10 |
| james296 | did you get it? | 19:11 |
| Exodus | Doesn't seem it's getting sent | 19:11 |
| Exodus | Upload it somewhere, it's better for others to chip in if they have the ss too | 19:11 |
| james296 | ok, so how else can I send it to you? | 19:11 |
| Exodus | There are several sites you can upload a pic too that provide an easy link | 19:12 |
| james296 | such as? | 19:12 |
| Exodus | http://imgur.com/ | 19:12 |
| james296 | uploading | 19:13 |
| james296 | http://imgur.com/mj6DV | 19:14 |
| dbmit | exodus, i tried that and it says is a directory | 19:14 |
| james296 | see what I mean Exodus? | 19:15 |
| Exodus | dbmit, /var/log/ is a directory, there are log files in there :P | 19:16 |
| Exodus | james296, is the map not clickeable for you? | 19:16 |
| dbmit | ok nso how do i open? | 19:16 |
| Exodus | or the Location text input not editable? | 19:16 |
| james296 | no its clickable | 19:16 |
| Exodus | dbmit, log files are usually just text files unless they're handled by some log file archiver and they're ziped | 19:17 |
| james296 | hold on, I'll show you | 19:17 |
| Exodus | james296, click your location, does the text not change? (What a weird bug) | 19:17 |
| james296 | no it doesnt change | 19:17 |
| james296 | here | 19:18 |
| james296 | http://imgur.com/hkjkx | 19:18 |
| Exodus | james296, have you updated your system? | 19:18 |
| james296 | yes as up to date as it can get | 19:18 |
| Exodus | james296, click somewhere else, like, in Asia, does it not change the time in that window? | 19:21 |
| james296 | I just tried clicking everywhere on there, still the same thing... | 19:21 |
| james296 | are you telling me Im the only person getting this problem? does it have to do with the hardware of my computer? | 19:23 |
| james296 | I already installed the ntp package for network time or whatever it is | 19:23 |
| Exodus | james296, pretty much, but still, lets fix it | 19:23 |
| james296 | ok | 19:24 |
| Exodus | james296, it's already installed in Ubuntu by the ntpdate package | 19:24 |
| james296 | no, it wasnt installed | 19:24 |
| Exodus | you should uninstall the ntp package if you installed it | 19:24 |
| james296 | I had to install it | 19:24 |
| Exodus | ntpdate package handles that | 19:24 |
| james296 | ok hold on | 19:24 |
| Exodus | 'ntpdate' comes with Ubuntu | 19:24 |
| james296 | ok done | 19:25 |
| james296 | still same problem | 19:25 |
| Exodus | james296, ok, lets try manually | 19:26 |
| james296 | I did that already | 19:26 |
| james296 | nothing | 19:26 |
| Exodus | james296, pretty much what the graphical app should do | 19:26 |
| Exodus | what did you try? | 19:26 |
| james296 | manually | 19:26 |
| Exodus | Define: manually | 19:26 |
| Exodus | did you change your /etc/localtime? | 19:26 |
| james296 | I click the manually button, nothing changes | 19:26 |
| Exodus | ahh hehe | 19:26 |
| Exodus | no no | 19:26 |
| Exodus | I mean do the changes from the terminal | 19:27 |
| Exodus | Manually | 19:27 |
| Exodus | Instead of graphically | 19:27 |
| james296 | is that really necessary? | 19:27 |
| james296 | Im a GUI kinda guy lol | 19:27 |
| Exodus | james296, it's just 3 lines | 19:27 |
| Exodus | james296, and since you have this weird error it's a way to fix it | 19:28 |
| james296 | well I know if I try to save changes from the root folder, I cant, because Im not a root user | 19:28 |
| Exodus | james296, open a terminal | 19:28 |
| Exodus | open the Unity menu and type 'term' and hit enter | 19:28 |
| Exodus | or alt f2 and type: gnome-terminal | 19:28 |
| james296 | got that | 19:28 |
| Exodus | ok | 19:28 |
| Exodus | by the ss you want new york? | 19:29 |
| james296 | yes | 19:29 |
| Exodus | type this: | 19:30 |
| james296 | so now what? | 19:30 |
| Exodus | sudo ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime | 19:30 |
| Exodus | well, that might give an error | 19:30 |
| james296 | it says file exists | 19:30 |
| Exodus | sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime | 19:30 |
| Exodus | the 'f' forces the file to be overwritten | 19:31 |
| james296 | ok I did that doesnt show any output, but it still looks the same... | 19:31 |
| james296 | this is quite a challenge here isnt it? | 19:32 |
| Exodus | ok, now type: sudo ntpdate-debian | 19:33 |
| Exodus | now type: date | 19:33 |
| Exodus | and copy/paste me the output | 19:34 |
| james296 | ntpdate[6268]: adjust time server 204.9.54.119 offset -0.012323 sec | 19:34 |
| Exodus | not that output, the output from date | 19:34 |
| Exodus | type: date | 19:34 |
| FernandoMiguel | for those that read what I wrote about http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/ yesterdat | 19:34 |
| Exodus | That output | 19:34 |
| FernandoMiguel | it shaved 5 secs from the total time | 19:34 |
| FernandoMiguel | and 10 secs from boot | 19:34 |
| james296 | Wed Sep 14 15:34:05 EDT 2011 | 19:34 |
| james296 | it still says Time just so you know | 19:35 |
| Exodus | james296, well, the time is correct at least, it's just not showing in Unity | 19:36 |
| Exodus | everything underlying Unity is alright | 19:36 |
| james296 | right | 19:36 |
| james296 | so why is it showing just time? | 19:36 |
| Exodus | do you have the 'indicator-datetime' package installed? | 19:37 |
| james296 | not sure | 19:38 |
| james296 | yes | 19:38 |
| Ian_Corne | google-talkplugin : Depends: lib32v4l-0 but it is not installable | 19:38 |

| trism | ianm_: quick guess looking at the build log, the libraries are listed before the code files your compiling, I don't think it will be able to resolve symbols that way with the new setup from http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking (I'm still waiting for luz to branch so I can test it) | 21:53 |
| ianm_ | trism: thanks I appreciate it! | 21:58 |
| lusepuster | I just upgraded to Oneiric beta1, but have met a number of issues, just wanna chack if they are well known or are specific pecause of some long-forgotten tampering with my system... First: in the UNity panel, the date/time applet just says "time" instead of showing date and time? I have to open the applet menu to see anything | 22:07 |
| trism | ianm_: yeah that seems to be it, just move *.cc in {input-manager,spectrum-analyzer}/Makefile to the start of the gcc command (I did something like: gcc -o input-manager *.cc <libs here>) | 22:08 |
| lusepuster | Second, I only have one workspace/virtual desktop and cannot seem to create more... Is that due to the reverting to gtk-window-decorator? | 22:08 |
| ianm_ | trism: fantastic thank you so much! | 22:08 |
| dupondje | could somebody execute 'locale -a | grep -F .utf8' and give me its output? | 22:08 |
| urlin2u | lusepuster, you are using the virtual drivers. | 22:10 |
| lusepuster | urlin2u, the virtual drivers for what, and how can I fix it? | 22:11 |
| robin0800 | lusepuster, go to time & date settings to add date etc. you should have four workspaces accessible from the launcher | 22:11 |
| urlin2u | lusepuster, your in a virtual right? | 22:11 |
| lusepuster | urlin2u, nope, it's on a partition | 22:12 |
| urlin2u | lusepuster, I misunderstood. | 22:12 |
| lusepuster | robin0800, I know I should, yet there's only one. | 22:12 |
| lusepuster | robin0800, also, I already have four different locations, yet instead of saying the time in the panel it says the word "time". | 22:13 |
| lusepuster | Also, since upgrade to Oneiric, Banshee crashes when I open it... | 22:15 |
| robin0800 | lusepuster, well there's something wrong afraid I can't help | 22:16 |
| dupondje | could somebody execute 'locale -a | grep -F .utf8' and give me its output? | 22:16 |
| IdleOne | !notunity | famine_ | 22:21 |
| ubottu | famine_: To use GNOME Shell on Oneiric, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place a new entry in the Sessions dropdown on the login window. | 22:21 |
| famine_ | another question....how do I stop using GDM or whatever? i want to boot into a console not a graphic enviroment | 22:22 |
| IdleOne | !nox | 22:23 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 22:23 |
| famine_ | okay...where is the grub.conf located? its not in /boot/grub/ | 22:25 |
| famine_ | this is my first run with ubuntu, always used gentoo before | 22:25 |
| IdleOne | !grub2 | 22:26 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 22:26 |
| jtaylor | famine_: there is no grub.conf anymore I thing, grub2 config is in /etc/grub.d/ | 22:26 |
| IdleOne | /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 22:27 |
| famine_ | okay, lets see how this is now. thanks brb | 22:28 |
| * psusi wonders why the other distros have yet to move to grub2 | 22:28 | |

| famine | are there any gnome themes anywhere in apt? i want to the close program/minimize/maximize on the right hand size instead of left (in gome3) | 22:46 |
| TheSimkin | apt-cache search gnome theme | 22:49 |
| robin0800 | famine, in gnome shell they are on the right I think and the left in unity | 22:49 |
| famine | im in gnome shell | 22:50 |
| famine | they are on left | 22:50 |
| famine | same as unity | 22:51 |
| famine | hmmm, changing the theme doesnt change where the buttons | 22:52 |
| famine | are | 22:52 |
| TheSimkin | famine: are you knew to linux? | 22:53 |
| TheSimkin | new even | 22:53 |
| robin0800 | famine, you can install gnome-standard themes plus others are in the software centre | 22:53 |
| famine | no im new to ubuntu | 22:53 |
| famine | i used gentoo for years | 22:54 |
| famine | never used unity/gnome3 or apt before | 22:54 |
| IdleOne | famine: you might want to give a quick read to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto | 22:56 |
| famine | ya I understand the basics, im just finding it frustrating for the little stuff...like getting these damn close/minimize/maximize icons on the right instead of the left | 22:57 |
| IdleOne | !controls | 22:59 |
| ubottu | Starting in Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more informationand workarounds, please see http://pad.lv/532633 | 22:59 |
| IdleOne | not sure if that still applies | 22:59 |
| IdleOne | least not since. I could be wrong | 23:00 |
| IdleOne | 11.04 | 23:00 |
| TheSimkin | famine: ahh, i was going to recommend kde but if you used gentoo i am sure you are alrady familiar with kde. | 23:00 |
| TheSimkin | <3 gentoo and kde. | 23:00 |
| TheSimkin | the only distros i use any more. | 23:01 |
| TheSimkin | gentoo and ubuntu! | 23:01 |
| famine | i prefer gnome over kde | 23:01 |
| famine | i like e17 too | 23:01 |
| TheSimkin | i did for a little bit | 23:01 |
| famine | but im most productive on a gnome2 desktop | 23:01 |
| TheSimkin | when 4.x just came out | 23:01 |
| TheSimkin | it was AWFUL | 23:01 |
| TheSimkin | but 4.7.1 is almost where 3.5.10 was | 23:01 |
| famine | ya I dunno, it doesnt matter what theme I select, the buttons are always on the right hand side | 23:06 |
| famine | ahhh | 23:07 |
| famine | got it | 23:07 |
| famine | nice | 23:07 |
| almoxarife | having dependency issues with googletalk plugin amd64, anyone else? | 23:09 |
| famine_ | okay, another question, how can I install an older version of firefox? i need a firefox 3.x for quakelive plugin | 23:10 |
| BluesKaj | so what is the flash fix now that the seven machines ppa is nmo longer valid | 23:55 |
| BluesKaj | no longer valid | 23:55 |
