| twilson_ | hey! How do I setup dual monitors so that one screen extends the other rather than cloning the other | 04:42 |
| twilson_ | running 11.10 using Xfce, clean install, intel chipset graphics, second monitor is running hdmi, first is dvi... | 04:44 |
| twilson_ | I tried apt-get install nvidia-settings but that causes both screens to go black after a restart just before I log in | 04:45 |
| twilson_ | had to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get the screens back again | 04:45 |
| twilson_ | surely this should be straight-forward | 04:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | twilson_: there's a gui for that in the settings manager | 05:04 |
| twilson_ | you mean Settings Manager > Display? I can't find any option to not clone the screens | 05:04 |
| twilson_ | my options are Use this output; Resolution; Refresh Rate; Rotation; Reflection | 05:05 |
| well_laid_lawn | twilson_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62681/how-do-i-setup-dual-monitors-in-xfce | 05:06 |
| twilson_ | cheers | 05:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | or use arandr | 05:07 |
| twilson_ | bbl | 05:12 |
| twilson_ | arandr worked | 05:15 |
| twilson_ | thanks | 05:15 |
| beata | Do any y'all have recommendation of a particular theme set to begin, to learn to customise/create new themes? | 05:19 |
| hety | hello everyone | 06:16 |
| hety | is there any way to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 ? or i have to reinstall from cd? | 06:17 |
| psycho_oreos | !12.04| hety | 06:21 |
| ubottu | hety: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 06:21 |
| gry | psycho_oreos, do you happen to see / know an answer to question I asked here few hours ago? | 06:21 |
| hety | ow :) | 06:22 |
| psycho_oreos | gry, just saw your question in my chat buffer, I'm afraid I don't have a clue on that | 06:22 |
| psycho_oreos | gry, curiously, the gnome documentation won't cover that? or maybe even asking in #gnome for example? | 06:22 |
| gry | oh, sorry. I'm using xfce. I didn't check gnome docs yet | 06:23 |
| psycho_oreos | hmm maybe even xfce support channel as well, now that I realise where I am lmao | 06:23 |
| gry | :-) | 06:23 |
| beata | This is probably only silly, but I will offer the clock dockapp display of day-tenths and smaller units. | 07:59 |
| lewis1711 | xubuntu uses the xfwm4 window manager, right? | 12:41 |
| lewis1711 | ok I try and kill xfwm4 and it starts up again straight away | 12:42 |
| oxicarus | guys when i april do you think 12.04 will flip its daylight view? =D | 12:43 |
| oxicarus | beginning / end? | 12:43 |
| lewis1711 | okay I am at settings -> session and startup, how exactly do I add things here? i see no button. also can't change restart style, though it is displayed | 12:47 |
| lewis1711 | the only thing I can do is quite program | 12:49 |
| holstein | lewis1711: quite?... what is "restart style" ? | 12:49 |
| TVasEyes | holstein: 'restart style' right-most column in Session tab. | 12:51 |
| holstein | TVasEyes: cool.. what does it mean/do though? | 12:55 |
| TVasEyes | is a status indicator I think, never had cause to look into chaging the values. | 12:56 |
| TVasEyes | good question by lewis1711 though, it would be nice to know where to prevent the wm from re-starting automatically. | 12:57 |
| pleia2 | oxicarus: release date is april 26: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule | 13:01 |
| pleia2 | (if that's what you mean) | 13:01 |
| oxicarus | nice pleia2 thnx | 13:04 |
| oxicarus | the famous unmute-volume-using-keyboard-quickkey-bug will prolly be solved, right? | 13:04 |
| pleia2 | oxicarus: hopefully :) the devs have been actively testing it this past week | 13:05 |
| oxicarus | sweet, sounds promising, to say the least :> | 13:05 |
| knome | oxicarus, yes, that should be fixed in beta2 | 13:22 |
| oxicarus | knome: nice going on the input there, thanks alot :) oh, i can barely wait for all the exciting news, and the lts not to speak of. | 13:22 |
| oxicarus | awesome! i really love 'buntu! | 13:22 |
| knome | thanks for the praise | 13:23 |
| xubuntu536 | Hey, guys. I'm installing Xubuntu as my first linux OS ever as I heard its very user friendly. | 15:09 |
| xubuntu536 | Seems like everyone here is AFKing, lol. | 15:11 |
| holstein | xubuntu536: is this your first time here? .. its not really a social channel.. try #xubuntu-offtopic for chat | 15:11 |
| xubuntu536 | Yes it is my first time here. Sorry for the trouble. | 15:12 |
| genii-around | xubuntu536: If you have support questions this would be the right place to ask those | 15:12 |
| OMG | hi guys! | 17:40 |
| OMG | can anyone help me? i want my xubuntu to show mounted devices on the desktop. it shows usb-mounts but no devices mounted via fstab (mountpoint is /media/xyz) | 17:41 |
| OMG | how can i fix this? | 17:41 |
| GridCube | OMG: it wont show them | 17:43 |
| GridCube | you can add shortcuts to them | 17:43 |
| TVasEyes | OMG: remove entries from fstab. (different mechanisms used) | 17:43 |
| OMG | hm. nautilus does. no possibility to change that behaviour? | 17:43 |
| GridCube | no | 17:43 |
| GridCube | xfce doesnt use nautilus | 17:43 |
| OMG | but it also does not show mounted samba shares | 17:44 |
| GridCube | no, it wont | 17:44 |
| OMG | hm. ok. | 17:44 |
| OMG | bookmarking and tree-view is also not possible in thunar | 17:46 |
| OMG | i mean same time | 17:46 |
| ochosi | sure it is | 17:46 |
| ochosi | oh right | 17:46 |
| ochosi | yeah, it's either or | 17:46 |
| OMG | hehe | 17:46 |
| OMG | so there is no way to "simulate" the nautilus behaviour at least | 17:47 |
| TVasEyes | OMG: have a look at ~/.gtk-bookmarks | 17:47 |
| GridCube | OMG: press ctrl-t on thunar to get treeview | 17:47 |
| GridCube | :/ | 17:47 |
| OMG | TVasEyes: yes. checked that. but id like to have treeview + shown bookmarks. | 17:48 |
| TVasEyes | oh, missed the 'at hte same time' bit. sorry. | 17:49 |
| OMG | :) | 17:50 |
| OMG | ok.. so there is no super-cool-magic-linux-use-the-terminal-type-something-and-it-works-way except usind nautilus? :D | 17:50 |
| OMG | then.. how can i set nautilus to manage the desktop? | 17:51 |
| TVasEyes | OMG: using Thunar here, I'm out.. | 17:52 |
| Sysi | OMG: should do that by default. | 17:52 |
| Sysi | gconf-editor or gnome-tweak-tool | 17:52 |
| OMG | yes it does, but i have to start it manually and it has to be started otherwise the desktop falls back to default | 17:54 |
| OMG | i found out that i have to start nautilus -n & | 17:54 |
| Sysi | remove xfdesktop from session in session&startup settings | 17:54 |
| OMG | but where do i set this to be done on startup? | 17:54 |
| Sysi | you can also set autostarts commands there (settings manager -> session and startup) | 17:55 |
| Sysi | you probably should remove old saved sessions with "rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions" | 17:56 |
| OMG | ah ok | 17:57 |
| OMG | i think i managed it | 17:57 |
| OMG | hm.. | 17:57 |
| OMG | it does not show any symbols hehe | 17:59 |
| z0ttel | hiho | 18:01 |
| z0ttel | I'd like to switch to xubuntu and was wondering about the ifupdown support | 18:01 |
| OMG | ok, thanks a lot guys il try to restrat | 18:01 |
| z0ttel | are there any known problems when switching from the nm-applet to ifupdown? | 18:01 |
| knome | z0ttel, switch from where? | 18:03 |
| knome | z0ttel, in that regard, xubuntu should be the same as ubuntu | 18:03 |
| z0ttel | okay - then I'll have a look at ubuntu users :) | 18:03 |
| z0ttel | merci | 18:03 |
| knome | np | 18:03 |
| z0ttel | no specific documentation found - I'll just test it in a vm -.- | 18:10 |
| CellTech | Blckberry will no longer mount for mass storage | 18:48 |
| holstein | CellTech: did you upgrade the blackberry? did you upgrade ubuntu? when did it break? why? are there any messages? do you see it if you open a terminal and run "sudo fdisk -l" ?? | 18:50 |
| CellTech | No updates, no break, no messages, does charge. Let me try that terminal real fast, and lsusb doesn't see it either | 18:50 |
| CellTech | brb | 18:50 |
| CellTech | Not sure what I'm looking for in fdisk -l | 18:52 |
| holstein | CellTech: you are looking for the mass storage device | 18:52 |
| holstein | its either there or its not | 18:53 |
| holstein | i would try another USB port | 18:53 |
| holstein | i would look at the bb config as well | 18:53 |
| CellTech | hmm. Could it just be a missing driver? | 18:53 |
| holstein | i doubt it | 18:53 |
| CellTech | I did gtkorphan my system recently | 18:53 |
| holstein | if you changed nothing | 18:53 |
| holstein | well, thats what i would look at.. what you changed | 18:54 |
| holstein | i would boot up a live CD and make sure the hardware is working | 18:54 |
| holstein | i would think about making another user account and testing from there | 18:54 |
| CellTech | Would libimobile work? | 18:55 |
| holstein | i would take the BB to another machine | 18:55 |
| holstein | CellTech: i dont have a BB | 18:55 |
| CellTech | It sucks cause in a couple days I'm gonna have a Nokia Lumia windows phone | 18:55 |
| holstein | then the live CD will let you transfer assuming its a config issue | 18:56 |
| CellTech | Gotta make one | 18:58 |

| Artemis3 | has anyone here upgraded to 12.04? | 20:20 |
| pimperle | how can i make the network-manager's popups notifications respect the timeout setting in xfce4-notifyd-settings? | 20:34 |
| pimperle | i've set it to 2 seconds, but the network connectivity popups won't fade away but stay there till i manually close them | 20:35 |
| pimperle | which part of the configuration might i have to delete, to get back to default settings? | 20:35 |
| DinoMuffin | Hello, is there a way to get xrandr to use dual monitors with different resolutions in a non-mirrored setup? | 20:38 |
| DinoMuffin | I'm trying to use a 1680x1050 DVI monitor with a old CRT | 20:39 |
| beata1 | I may be having the same issue with notifications. Good point to set the timeout low while poking at it. | 20:40 |
| DinoMuffin | :/ | 20:42 |
| beata1 | pimperle: The update notifier also causes a non-timeout notification on this system, on default settings. Wait... it DID time out, but after about 30 seconds, while I was busy entering this reply. | 20:44 |
| Sysi | DinoMuffin: should work, arandr is nice GUI for xrandr | 20:46 |
| DinoMuffin | Sysi: well, when I try 'xrandr --output CRT1 --left-of DFP1' it returns: | 20:47 |
| DinoMuffin | xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1680x1680 (desired size 2704x1050) | 20:47 |
| Sysi | well that's problem with your graphics card, what model is it? | 20:51 |
| DinoMuffin | Radeon HD 5870 | 20:53 |
| DinoMuffin | It works fine under windows | 20:53 |
| beata1 | ... 'xrandr: screen cannot be largen than' ... I'm sure I've seen that phrase crop up before. Alas, I know not where. Had a search not turn up anything helpful? | 20:56 |
| DinoMuffin | Well, I'm not sure what exactly is happening. I know the max supported resolution on the card is 2560 x 1600 | 20:57 |
| DinoMuffin | and it's complaining about going to 2704x1050 | 20:58 |
| DinoMuffin | But that still doesn't make much sense to me, seeing how windows can somehow do it. | 20:58 |
| beata1 | I'm afraid I don't know any more, but hopefully there will be someone who will. | 21:00 |
| DinoMuffin | thanks anyways | 21:01 |
| DinoMuffin | I think I might of found the problem. One forum suggests changing the 'Virtual' variable in xorg.conf | 21:08 |
| DinoMuffin | then applying the xrandr configuration | 21:08 |
| well_laid_lawn | see what the X log says is the max available | 21:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | you might need to change drivers | 21:09 |
| Sysi | I think you should use propriatary driver and then something different config tool | 21:09 |
| DinoMuffin | hm | 21:10 |
| DinoMuffin | Max Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 43 vert.: 27 ? | 21:12 |
| DinoMuffin | Oh, well there are a lot of lines that say '(width too large for virtual size)' for anything over 1680x1050 | 21:16 |
| DinoMuffin | probably is a driver problem then | 21:16 |

| Myrtti | grrr | 21:32 |
| pimperle | beata1: are you on a fresh install? is this the default setting to show those nofitications for longer than 30 seconds | 21:42 |
