xubuntu312Oigan una duda, al actualizar al 11.10 también se actualiza gnome a la versión 3 o así se queda?00:25
cYmenhi guys00:26
cYmenI have an eee pc and neither the sleep special button nor closing the lid works for suspending00:26
cYmenand when I selecdt hibernate from the menu it just shuts down00:26
cYmendoes anybody have an idea how to debug that?00:27
cYmenwhat does work is selecting suspend in the menu...00:28
holsteincYmen: what eee?00:31
holsteini have a 900, 1001p, and 101500:31
cYmenuh...I think it's a 1015 but I have to look it up...do you know a quick way to check?00:32
holsteinit either sleeps or it doesnt... you might just need to familiarize yourself with the xfce power mangement00:32
holsteincYmen: i look on the bottom, and the # is usually there00:32
holsteinits different from gnome00:32
cYmenah it's a 1005'HA00:33
holsteinyou dont say "when i close the lid, sleep" like you don in gnome... you have to say "when i close the lid powered up speed", or on battery power00:33
cYmenyeah I have no idea how power management works in xfce yet, I never set it up00:33
cYmenhow do I get started?00:33
holsteini set mine for when plugged in, and was very confused when i was on batter power and it didnt sleep00:33
holsteincYmen: in the settings manger, under 'settings' in the menu, theres a power manger icon00:35
* cYmen messes around.00:35
cYmenOkay, thanks so far!00:35
cYmenholstein: So can it hibernate and suspend or can it only suspend? I'm not sure I understood you correctly.00:37
holsteincYmen: you'll have to sort that out00:37
holsteinmine all do it all00:37
holsteini find intel hardware generally well supported00:38
cYmenhm...as I said when I select hibernate in the menu it turns off :)00:38
holsteincYmen: thats hibernate00:38
holsteinit looks like its off00:38
holsteinthe power is off00:38
holsteinsuspend is probably what you want00:38
cYmenuh no the problem is when I turn it back on it just starts up :)00:41
holsteincYmen: ?00:42
holsteinthats hibernate00:43
holsteinif you ask it to hibernate, when you turn it back on, it will just start up00:43
cYmenuh...I thought it's supposed to store ram to disk and restore the state it was in...?00:43
holsteincYmen: did it not?00:44
cYmenno it just started up vanilla00:44
cYmenthat's what I meant :)00:44
holsteincYmen: if you are literally just getting started, i wouldnt worry about it too much00:44
holsteinim sure its just getting used to it00:45
cYmenO_o00:45
cYmenIt needs to get used to hibernating? :)00:45
holsteincYmen: ?00:45
holsteinim sure the tools are something you will become familiar with in time00:46
cYmenHm...but it seems defunct in some way...00:47
holsteincYmen: might be, but it works very well on my 3 EEE's out of the box00:47
holsteinexpecially 10.0400:47

holsteinand you can decide how to deal with it then, or ask about it here agin00:55

just_installedYo!03:14
just_installedWhat is Xfce?03:15
PaimunXFCE is a desktop environment03:15
Paimunhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFCE03:15
just_installedDo you think that Xbuntu will run smoothly on an Acer Aspire Netbook?03:20
Paimunwell, what kind of specs does it have?03:21
PaimunI'm on a netbook, and xubuntu technically runs fine, but running a lot of software at once will make it shit the bed03:21
just_installedlol ok :03:22
just_installed- Mobile Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset (DDR2 400/533 MHz)03:22
just_installed500 mb ram03:22
Paimunyeah you're gonna have a rough time03:22
Paimun500 MB ram is not a lot at all03:23
just_installedbecause I tried Ubuntu 11.10 and it runs like shit03:23
just_installedi thought so.03:23
just_installedBut Win 7 runs perfectly.03:23
Paimunheh03:23
just_installedsorry, 1 gb RAM03:23
Paimunwell that's better03:23
Paimunbut if you run heavy things like chrome or dolphin a lot you're going to be seeing a lot of hanging03:24
just_installedhmm ok thanks.03:24
Paimundepending on your processor too, and hard drive speed in the case of swap space03:24
Paimunif you have a 7200 RPM drive that will help with swap and a dual core will be good too03:24
just_installedare there any really tiny and lightweight distros that will run smoothly?03:25
PaimunI do not have any experience with these distros myself03:25
Paimunbut I've heard crunchbang and damn small linux are good03:25
Paimunxubuntu used to be kinda lightweight but that's changed recently03:26
just_installedxGrind: hmmm DSL? Ive heard of it. also heard that X was lightweight.03:26
just_installedHave you heard of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSLinux this?03:27

gryhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ristretto/+bug/863464 any workarounds available?09:13
ubottuUbuntu bug 874092 in ristretto (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #863464 ristretto hang with empty window" [Medium,Confirmed]09:13
ochosigry: not sure, tbh the best thing might be to wait for precise or compile a newer version of ristretto09:31
ochosigry: ristretto has been almost rewritten since 0.0.93, unfortunately we still have that version in oneiric09:31
gryochosi, this bug has no set priority. This being the default / recommended image viewer on xfce, and no workaround available, could you set it to something sane please?10:10
ochosigry: the point is that it won't get fixed, because upstream (xfce) is already far further in terms of new versions and therefore not maintaining 0.0.93 anymore and for us (with extremely limited manpower) it doesn't make sense to try to fix it because precise will have a completely fixed up new version anyway10:11
ochosii know this sucks, but for oneiric there's really not much more we can do but ask you to wait and use something else in the meantime10:12
ochosi(gpicview, geeqie, eog, you name it)10:12
gryochosi, thanks for your time explaining this. There is just one small question left, you seem to use 'precise' as a noun, what do you mean with it?10:13
ochosi"precise pangolin" is the next version of x/ubuntu, aka 12.0410:14
ochosi!precise10:14
ubottuUbuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) will be the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 | Discussion and support in #ubuntu+110:14

holsteinyou can just add whatever you are using to the startup scripts i suppose16:02
sebxholstein, I tried that but it executes at the wrong time. Right now I always do it manually. It's a crap solution either way.16:03

sebxI haven't had that problem with any other linux distro, and I'm trying them pretty much all16:04

Sysisebx: disable compositing16:11
Sysiyou can set sync to vblank in xorg.conf but I'm not sure if that still works since xfwm doesn't use opengl16:11
sebxwow ok, disabling compositing gets rid of the vsync problem16:12
sebxthat is GREAT news16:12

sebxthe scripts must get executed and an inconvenient time where it gets overridden16:14

Sysitry enabling gnome services on startup16:15
Sysifor some users it makes dualhead work.. though maybe that could cause it to not work too16:15
sebxI did that but that just started the virtual keyboard and I didn't really know where to go from there16:15
mongyI use ati proprietary so I get tearing, with or without xfce composting enabled.  I  also use compiz so with --vs=on flag for aticonfig and set my player to use gl, no tearing.16:15
