| argenk | Hi, can anybody help me? | 16:15 |
| argenk | I can't change my screen resolution. I have a big monitor (23") and I can't make it work in 1920x1080 : / | 16:16 |
| philipballew | argenk, what did you do so far | 16:21 |
| Petskull | Hi! | 17:37 |
| philipballew | hi Petskull | 17:41 |
| Petskull | hi! | 17:42 |
| Petskull | I'm sorta killing my 11.04 desktop by enabling Compiz cube | 17:42 |
| Petskull | I've lost some functionality- can you help? | 17:42 |
| lisiano | Can you tell us what happens? Like it flashes and everything is without window borders. | 17:43 |
| philipballew | emabling the cube takes a bit of hacking | 17:43 |
| philipballew | Petskull, i have the cube on mine and ill show you yhe guide i followed | 17:43 |
| Petskull | thanks, man | 17:44 |
| Petskull | but- right now I'd like to get back to 'titlebars working' | 17:44 |
| Petskull | 'alt-tab working' | 17:44 |
| philipballew | but in the mean time we need to fix what you broke | 17:44 |
| Petskull | atc | 17:44 |
| Petskull | exactly | 17:44 |
| philipballew | so what is exactly wrong with it? | 17:46 |
| philipballew | tell me if unity --reset helps | 17:46 |
| Petskull | well, I'm on Ubuntu Classic now | 17:47 |
| Petskull | try it anyway? | 17:47 |
| Petskull | my titlebars are no longer working, I cant't drag/resize windows, etc | 17:47 |
| Petskull | not even with alt-drag | 17:48 |
| Petskull | can't alt-tab at all | 17:48 |
| Petskull | I managed to alt-space X, so I can fullscreen my windows | 17:48 |
| Petskull | I can click on the bottom panel for the windows | 17:49 |
| philipballew | id try to see what you have enabled in ccsm and not | 17:52 |
| Petskull | hold on | 17:52 |
| philipballew | if you tell me what you have enabled i can tell you how it compares to mine | 17:52 |
| Petskull | I was gonna send you screenies, but apparently bayimg is blocked from here | 17:56 |
| Petskull | This site was categorized in: Photo sharing, Nudity, Pornography | 17:57 |
| Petskull | WTF?? | 17:57 |
| Petskull | man, I dunno | 17:58 |
| Petskull | ok- lemme see what I can do here | 17:58 |

| urlin2u | philipballew, have you checked out displex | 18:01 |
| philipballew | no | 18:01 |
| philipballew | :) | 18:01 |
| ReWom | Hello | 18:02 |
| urlin2u | it is a app that will do alot of what the fusion-icon did do previously, including restarting compiz pretty cool. http://sourceforge.net/projects/displex/files/ | 18:02 |
| Petskull | http://imagebin.org/173883 | 18:02 |
| Petskull | http://imagebin.org/173884 | 18:04 |
| Petskull | philipballew, | 18:04 |
| philipballew | ah. i see | 18:05 |
| philipballew | now | 18:05 |
| nlsthzn | ReWom: shoot away with your issue and/or question ;) | 18:05 |
| Petskull | now what? | 18:06 |
| philipballew | what exactly cant you do pedro3005 | 18:06 |
| philipballew | ph crap | 18:06 |
| philipballew | Oh* | 18:06 |
| philipballew | Petskull, | 18:06 |
| pedro3005 | i can't do lots of things, man | 18:07 |
| pedro3005 | i wish i could do everything | 18:07 |
| nlsthzn | lol | 18:07 |
| philipballew | pedro3005, If you find a way to make something appear from nothing, let me know | 18:08 |
| Petskull | philipballew, whatcha got? | 18:10 |
| philipballew | Petskull, what cant you do on unity? | 18:10 |
| Petskull | my titlebars are no longer working, I cant't drag/resize windows, etc | 18:10 |
| Petskull | can't alt-tab at all | 18:10 |
| Petskull | I managed to alt-space X, so I can fullscreen my windows | 18:11 |
| Petskull | I can click on the bottom panel for the windows | 18:11 |
| philipballew | look at window managment | 18:11 |
| Petskull | all that stuff from up there | 18:11 |
| Petskull | ok | 18:11 |
| philipballew | try resize window foe sure | 18:11 |
| philipballew | you need to fidle with it | 18:13 |
| philipballew | https://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/ | 18:14 |
| Petskull | I think I'll just make a new user and delete this one | 18:15 |
| philipballew | do what you want | 18:16 |
| Petskull | hah!! that link you gave: | 18:22 |
| Petskull | "etting the cube wasn’t easy the way that I did it. I can’t adequately describe the screen crash-storm that simply clicking on Desktop Cube created." | 18:22 |
| Petskull | HAHAHAH!!! That's soo me right now!! | 18:22 |
| Petskull | dude I must've messed this up real bad.. | 18:34 |
| philipballew | Petskull, NICE!!! | 18:34 |
| Petskull | ? | 18:34 |
| philipballew | did unity --reset do anything | 18:35 |
| philipballew | i was being sarcastic | 18:35 |
| Petskull | lemme try is now, can't hurt any worse! | 18:35 |
| Petskull | ... except my Alt+F2 no longer works | 18:35 |
| Petskull | hey! I can alt+drag windows again! | 18:36 |
| philipballew | nice!!! | 18:37 |
| Petskull | well, it brought unity into my setup | 18:37 |
| Petskull | not the best | 18:37 |
| Petskull | still no window borders | 18:37 |
| Petskull | but I can alt-tab and switch desktop | 18:38 |
| urlin2u | you have to have a restart windows manager switch with compiz in natty the refresh rate is not solid, you can make a launcger for the fusion icon or the displez ap works even better. That link explains this conundrum. | 18:38 |
| Petskull | yeah, I read the whole thing | 18:39 |
| Petskull | I can't believe they shipped this like this | 18:39 |
| philipballew | Petskull, it works great when not tampered with | 18:40 |
| philipballew | but its not a lts release | 18:40 |
| urlin2u | it is not the OS, it works fine if you don't enable the cube. It also works fine if you do and know how to do it. :D | 18:40 |
| Petskull | hmm... loged out and logged back in | 18:42 |
| Petskull | logged* | 18:42 |
| philipballew | hows it workin Petskull | 18:42 |
| Petskull | selected 'Ubuntu Classic' but I get the left-hand panel | 18:43 |
| Petskull | I also have the bottom panel... weird | 18:43 |
| Petskull | but it's pretending it never happened- so it's all good | 18:43 |
| Petskull | man, I wish I could install 10.10 | 18:43 |
| philipballew | try 11.10 | 18:44 |
| Petskull | is it this same crap? | 18:45 |
| philipballew | its unity improved | 18:47 |
| philipballew | unity works nice. you juse messed it up | 18:47 |
| Petskull | yeah, I've been trying it for a few days to see if it's just change-shock | 18:47 |
| Petskull | but I don't think so | 18:48 |
| Petskull | we'll see | 18:48 |
| Petskull | but for now I just feel embarrassed in front of all the people I've recommended Ubuntu to over the years | 18:48 |
| philipballew | if you lived near me id give you a run down of it in person, but I doubt that | 18:48 |
| Petskull | heh | 18:49 |
| Petskull | yeah, I doubt I'm close | 18:49 |
| Petskull | where are you? | 18:49 |
| philipballew | san diego CA | 18:50 |
| Petskull | I'm in Afghanistan | 18:50 |
| philipballew | nice! how long you lived there? | 18:50 |
| Petskull | you gonna take the bus or you wanna meet at a mall in between | 18:51 |
| Petskull | ? | 18:51 |
| Petskull | heh- a few months | 18:51 |
| philipballew | nice!!! though, seriously. I can get unity working again for you if you need | 18:52 |
| Petskull | forget the run-down, man.. if I'm a computer guy and I bang on this, can you imagine my mother trying to grok this with me on the phone? Nah.. | 18:52 |
| philipballew | yeah, thats why their getting it polished before 12.04 | 18:53 |
| philipballew | thats the stable version | 18:53 |
| Petskull | I've been running *nix for 10 years... ubuntu for about 5... | 18:53 |
| Petskull | I'm all for cheerleading the linux.... but this is crap... and shame on us as a community if we lie to ourselves about it | 18:54 |
| philipballew | how so? | 18:54 |
| Petskull | ubuntu's awesome because thing's rarely break.. | 18:55 |
| Fanshawe | I left a message earlier about Evolution, any responses? | 18:55 |
| Petskull | they even got a little window for installing the NVidia drivers, which used to be a pain | 18:55 |
| philipballew | very true, Unity is new. like I said, 11.04 is not intended to be a super stable release | 18:56 |
| philipballew | they now that | 18:56 |
| philipballew | and they are working out all bugs till 12.04 | 18:56 |
| Petskull | a lot of things 'just work'.. what is Unity trying to *be*? | 18:56 |
| Petskull | it's not a windowing system.. | 18:56 |
| Petskull | it's not that it's buggy | 18:57 |
| philipballew | its a desktop gnome shell | 18:57 |
| philipballew | you can try xubuntu or kubuntu or lubuntu | 18:57 |
| Petskull | heh- I got it | 18:57 |
| Petskull | yeah, I know that | 18:57 |
| philipballew | hop on over to #ubuntu-classroom | 18:57 |
| Petskull | this is like GiMP syndrome | 18:57 |
| philipballew | in 2 minutes someone's giving a session on them | 18:57 |
| Petskull | 'the problem is people have trouble learning it' | 18:57 |
| philipballew | gimp is just different | 18:58 |
| philipballew | linux is not windows | 18:58 |
| Petskull | I know xubuntu and kubuntu- what's lubuntu? | 18:58 |
| Petskull | phil- preaching to the choir, man | 18:58 |
| philipballew | I know im preaching to the chior :) | 18:58 |
| philipballew | its a lxde version of ubuntu | 18:58 |
| Petskull | there's a reason I ditcher Mandrake for Ubuntu- I get it | 18:58 |
| philipballew | !lubuntu | 18:58 |
| ubot2 | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 18:58 |
| Petskull | never heard of lxde | 18:59 |
| philipballew | its a lightwaight desktop enviorment | 18:59 |
| * Petskull hunts around gor the damn firefox icon so he can look it up | 18:59 | |
| Petskull | for* | 18:59 |
| * Petskull is, ironically enough, proving his point | 18:59 | |
| philipballew | your right there | 19:00 |
| philipballew | I need to go grab some lunch now | 19:00 |
| philipballew | peace out Petskull | 19:01 |
| Petskull | bon appetite! | 19:01 |
| Petskull | thanks for the help! | 19:01 |
| Fanshawe | Okay, I think I'll put it up again. Hey all, Evolution seems to be delivering duplicate messages in the 'On This Computer' account. Also, after backing up and restoring, my Contacts and Memoes give me errors, and only going back to even earlier backups can fix it. | 19:03 |
| Fanshawe | Is there anything I can do to fix all that? | 19:03 |
| starcraftman | Fanshawe: Sorry, not really an expert on configuring Evolution. When I hear duplicate messages getting delivered almost sounds like you have two accounts pointing to same email and both pulling same messages. | 19:06 |
| starcraftman | Fanshawe: Can you check the accounts setup? | 19:06 |
| starcraftman | Petskull: philip said you had trouble with Unity? Not a fan? | 19:07 |
| Petskull | starcraftman, yeah- not a fan | 19:07 |
| Petskull | he seems to think it's because I don't -get it | 19:07 |
| Petskull | nice guy, though | 19:08 |
| starcraftman | Petskull: Well tbh, I immensly dislike the new Unity and Gnome 3 UI designs as well. | 19:08 |
| starcraftman | It's a preference thing, I use KDE. | 19:08 |
| Fanshawe | starcraftman: I have three accounts, the one that's configured to default isn't the one listed under 'On This Computer'. The one that's duplicating is my third account, a university account. | 19:08 |
| Petskull | nothing personal, I just hate things that suck | 19:09 |
| starcraftman | Fanshawe: could it be the that the Uni account is forwarding email to one of the other two? | 19:09 |
| Petskull | since Breezy, Ubuntu's never really sucked | 19:09 |
| Petskull | until now | 19:09 |
| starcraftman | if you disable first two accounts, send an email to third does it still duplicate? Fanshawe | 19:09 |
| starcraftman | Petskull: Well, it's just the desktop environment, have you tried Kubuntu or Xubuntu? | 19:10 |
| Fanshawe | starcraftman: I'll try that right away | 19:10 |
| pleia2 | Petskull: tbh, this is a support channel and it really isn't really the place to insult ubuntu | 19:10 |
| pleia2 | most of us aren't developers, we're users volunteering our time for support | 19:10 |
| Petskull | *sigh*... I wish people would stop saying that... | 19:10 |
| Petskull | pleia2, yeah, sorry | 19:10 |
| Petskull | I actually came here for some help... now I'm just sort of here + disappointed.. hence the bitching | 19:11 |
| Petskull | I'll stop | 19:11 |
| pleia2 | thank you | 19:11 |
| starcraftman | Petskull: if you want to try others installing the kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop packages will get you different environments | 19:12 |
| Fanshawe | starcraftman: There's another part to this problem, I'm afraid. It seems to be duplicating EVERYTHING in the account, from the earliest e-mails I have. So 1000+ e-mails is becoming 2000+ e-mails. | 19:12 |
| starcraftman | Petskull: Xubuntu/XFCE is clossest to old GNOME UI. | 19:12 |
| Petskull | I've tried other WM/DE's.. thanks, though | 19:12 |
| Petskull | I know a little about them | 19:12 |
| starcraftman | Petskull: ok then. | 19:12 |
| Petskull | 'ppreciate it, though | 19:14 |
| starcraftman | Fanshawe: hmmm, definitely sounds like some sort of duplication. | 19:14 |
| Fanshawe | starcraftman: Yeah, but I can't really figure out where. It hasn't done that until recently, maybe a week or two? | 19:14 |
| starcraftman | Fanshawe: Remember doing anything in particular at that point? | 19:15 |
| Fanshawe | starcraftman: Hate to say it, but I haven't messed around with its configuration at all. It was running just as I wanted it too before this, I had no reason too. | 19:16 |
| Fanshawe | I think ideally I'm looking for a way to reset the 'On This Computer' account and just re-add the duplicating account as something separate | 19:19 |
| starcraftman | Fanshawe: hmmm, sorry, not sure, not really expert on evolution. You might want to use other resources, I did just have a nice little session on finding help for Ubuntu see here : | 19:19 |
| starcraftman | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDaysTeam/natty/FindingHelp | 19:19 |
| starcraftman | Fanshawe: See pastebin at bottom, got my whole speech. | 19:20 |
| Fanshawe | starcraftman: Thanks, I'll take a look | 19:20 |
| starcraftman | Fanshawe: I'm thinking Launchpad Answers in particular might help, Evolution/Ubuntu. | 19:20 |
| starcraftman | Fanshawe: Or another means, lots of options. | 19:20 |
| starcraftman | :) | 19:20 |
| ReWom | Hello again! I'm kind of a noob, and I have a problem with booting my new operating system. I can boot it fine with 2.6.38-8-generic (kernel?), but when I try to boot with 2.6.38-11-generic, I receive the following error: "VFS: Cannot open root device... or unknown block..." | 19:21 |
| ReWom | But the UUIDs for both menu entries in grub.cfg are the same. One works, the other one doesn't. | 19:22 |
| ReWom | root=UUID=... | 19:22 |
| === starcraft is now known as starcraftman | ||
| Fanshawe | starcraftman: Perhaps I could ask another question? I've managed to 'reset' the On This Computer account. Is there any way of adding another account without it defaulting to the On This Computer account? That seemed to be what caused the problem | 19:28 |
| starcraftman | Fanshawe: you just want to reset all of Evolutions settings? You can just move the ~/.evolution folder | 19:32 |
| starcraftman | That would indicate to evolution on next startup to do a fresh config. | 19:32 |
| starcraftman | If you back it up to different folder then ya can restore if it doesn't work. | 19:32 |
| starcraftman | ~ = your home folder. | 19:32 |
| Fanshawe | Got it. Thanks for your help. I've moved it and it seems that activating my university account again makes the On This Computer account fetch all my messages from there. This time, though, it seems to be fetching the right amount (~1000 rather than ~2000) | 19:33 |
| starcraftman | Fanshawe: Huzza. Tip, most programs store their configs in such .name folders. | 19:35 |
| starcraftman | Fanshawe: when not present, program assumes clean install :) | 19:35 |
| starcraftman | Fanshawe: glad that helps, I'm off now. | 19:35 |
| Fanshawe | starcraftman: Appreciate it. Later, then | 19:36 |
| philipballew | my session starts! | 20:00 |
| nlsthzn | philipballew: good luck :) | 20:00 |
| jls2 | Anyone know how to get cut and paste working for images between Ubuntu and a Citrix session (Windows)? | 22:10 |
| urlin2u | jls2, citrix is a virtual is this correct. | 22:13 |
| jls2 | Yeah | 22:15 |
| urlin2u | is it a server between the two or on the same computer? | 22:16 |
| urlin2u | like virtual box I'm not familiar with citrix | 22:16 |
| jls2 | Ah.. so Citrix is basically like Terminal Services | 22:17 |
| jls2 | Sets up a server so multiple users can login and get a windows desktop and use the applications on that server | 22:17 |
| jls2 | Citrix has a app to connect to the server | 22:18 |
| jls2 | Citrix ICA | 22:18 |
| urlin2u | not sure but it turns out there is this as well #Citrix | 22:18 |
| jls2 | Thanks | 22:18 |
| urlin2u | they might have some idea, no problem. :D | 22:18 |
