philipballewunity is on my laptop now21:23
seidosmysteriousdarren: i'm trying to make the system hibernate when i press the power button in 11.1021:25
JackyAlcinemysteriousdarren: no problem, I'm looking for the answer, when I find it, I might blog about it.21:27
mysteriousdarrenseidos: what de?21:28
seidosmysteriousdarren: unity21:28
mysteriousdarrenJackyAlcine: I'll do some research for you21:28
seidoswell, i think, i mean, i'm using default ui in 11.1021:30
JackyAlcine:D21:30
seidosmaybe gsettings doesn't work then21:30
mysteriousdarrenseidos: so changing the settings through the menu doesn't work?21:32
seidosmysteriousdarren: which menu?21:32
seidosyou mean in system-settings->power ?21:32
mysteriousdarrenyes21:32
seidosbecause i can't find an option there for power button21:33
mysteriousdarrensorry who was talking on here with me before? I had to switch computers the netbook was bugging me too much21:45
Unit193That was seidos21:46
seidos\o mysteriousdarren21:46
mysteriousdarrensorry if anyone wants to know I am on here twice.21:47
mystdarrenseidos: this will help. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=188314921:49
mystdarrenJackyAlcine: what was your question again?21:51
JackyAlcinemystdarren: Wanted to add a menubar button to the titlebar in KDE.21:52
mystdarrenJackyAlcine: ok I am on the prowl looking for the answer21:52
seidosmystdarren: how do i use dconf-tools?21:55
seidosmystdarren: that also looks like a different problem21:56
seidosi wonder if dconf tools is any different from gsettings21:57
mystdarrenseidos: did u google it? It would be faster than me finding a guide for you21:57
seidosmystdarren: right21:57
mystdarrenJackyAlcine: is this what you were looking for?21:57
mystdarrenhttp://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase-workspace/kmenuedit/kmenuedit.pdf21:57
mystdarrenJust a note that if you are a beginner at using ubuntu alot of the common and not so common questions can be solved by searching google. It should be your best friend.21:59
seidosstrange gsettings says something different than dconf22:01
mystdarrenwell one of them will do it being the master anyway22:02
mystdarrenwhat do they say?22:02
seidosmystdarren: do you have dconf on your system?22:03
mystdarrenyes22:04
JackyAlcineI think that I found it, mystdarren22:04
seidosmystdarren: under org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power it said "suspend"22:05
seidosbut under gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power it had hibernate22:05
seidosi guess it's 2 different things now22:05
mystdarrenJackyAlcine: great! that was a simple google search, I've learned the most by figuring it out myself. People ask me questions all the time that can be answer very quickly by just googling it.22:05
mystdarrenSeidos: change it both to the same thing.22:06
seidosmystdarren: already did, just haven't tested22:06
seidoswill gnome classic use less cpu than unity?22:06
mystdarrenSeidos: depending on what is installed yes. I used lxde and its still way better than the other Ubuntus for me at least22:07
mystdarrenseidos: depending on the apps and what you wanna run on it.22:08
seidosi should try unity 2d22:08
mystdarrenwhat are you worried about? using it on a netbook? server? desktop?22:09
mystdarrendoes anyone have any other questions?22:12
mystdarrenbrb22:13
seidosmysteriousdarren: it ain't easy being green22:14
mysteriousdarrenseidos: how green?22:15
seidosmysteriousdarren: as green as is tolerable22:15
mysteriousdarrenseidos: couple weeks?22:15
seidosmysteriousdarren: green as in environmentally friendly22:16
seidosthat's why i want to use a different ui22:17
mysteriousdarrenseidos: ya I got that, how long have you been grean? recently?22:17
seidosi've used lxde, it was all right, unity 2d looks interesting here22:17
seidoshttp://www.webupd8.org/2011/01/unity-2d-qt-now-available-in-ppa-for.html22:17
seidosoh no, not recently.22:18
mysteriousdarrenseidos: use what works for you, thats the main thing22:18
seidosi've been green for awhile, just trying to get greener and greener22:18
mysteriousdarrenwhat didn't u like about lxde?22:18
seidosmysteriousdarren: it wasn't a substantial enough improvement, really22:19
seidosi should probably give openbox a shot again22:19
mysteriousdarrenI was gonna say that, or how green do you wanna be?22:19
seidosnow's a good time to try that hibernate22:21
mysteriousdarrenya you could always try Archlinux but the learning curve is high22:22
