[00:02] unity does not depend on ccsm, ccsm is an optional addon for those who want to attempt tweaking unity/compiz [00:04] jbicha, right, but you NEED ccsm to adjust anything, right? [00:05] i thnk you can adjust some very high-level options without it [00:05] I just want to adjust the sensitivity when I mouse to my other monitor [00:05] it hesitaes a bit more than I'd like [00:12] Roasted: you can turn Sticky Edge on and off in System Settings>Displays, there's some other options in Appearance too [00:16] jbicha, nice nice. I was hoping I could tone it down but having it off is a bit nicer than on in my opinion [00:16] thanks for that [00:19] Roasted: that's a brand new feature from Friday :) [00:19] jbicha, very nice :) [00:19] I'm really starting to become a unity fanboy... [00:19] I have to admit 12.04 is quite nice [00:39] whenever I log in with unity3d, the launcher, panel, and icons don't appear. What package can I run "dpkg-reconfigure" on in order to fix that? [00:40] imnichol, you could try unity --reset [00:41] that will restart and reset unity [00:41] Ok thanks [00:41] If I'm running unity-2d, will it still reset unity3d? [00:41] or maybe if that does not work, you might try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop [00:42] i think so but let me check [00:42] do you use compiz? [00:42] yes [00:43] --reset [00:43] This option allows the user to reset profile parameters in com‐ [00:43] piz and restart the Unity shell with default settings. [00:43] thanks [00:43] so it should work [00:44] yeah.. i installed the compiz update today [00:44] and got the frozen desktop thing.. which is what the update was ironically supposed to fix.. and it was working fine prior to that ;) [00:44] unity --reset segfaulted.. but then.. it works after that.. quality stuff [00:45] i like the new display settings btw.. being able to configure which displays the launcher is on.. and whether the transition between the desktops is sticky.. nice [00:57] yea had to do unity --reset in unity2d to get 3d back alive [01:19] i did an upgrade to 12.04, my old user won't show panels, not with unity, not with xfce or lxde, i made a new user and they work fine. What would i need to check to fix the old? [01:19] rm -rf ~/ [01:19] should do it :p [01:20] yes and rm -r /home to but thats besides the point :P [01:20] maybe a unity --reset [01:20] if it segfaults when you do that.. that means it worked [01:20] heh [01:21] but why it would affect xfce as well? [01:21] snadge, i got the same after i told you to reset lol [01:21] thats a good question.. i think xfce may use compiz from memory [01:21] so in that case.. you need to manually delete your compiz settings [01:22] umm.. ~/.config/compiz-1 .. possibly other places too.. theres a .compiz-1 [01:23] ok ill try that [01:23] you could also try the gnome classic (no effects) session [01:23] which uses metacity [01:23] brb, i will check that and unity 2d etc [01:29] well that didn't work... what could it be? panels won't show with lxde either. [01:31] i also recently noticed that shutdown from menu does not work it just logs me out [01:31] same with reboot [01:32] there must be something in my user folder that sabotages panels somehow... but what? and across 3 DEs? [01:32] (unity 2d just crashes) [01:35] besides ./config and ,/cache, where else could be user config files affecting the panels? [01:43] umm.. theres a .gconf [01:51] Does unity allow fullscreen? [01:52] Yes. [01:53] log, I mean can I hide the menu bar? [01:53] In which application? [01:53] All of them? [01:53] log, yes. [01:53] log, I like to use multiple desktops and have one application on each. [01:54] Hmm, not sure... [01:58] I want to run a script on my on my desktop. I created a document and put in; sudo happy.py. I want to keep the terminal open , when I click on it , it asks for root then flashes closes. / [01:58] hmm.. archive manager doesnt open udf formatted iso files.. how lame [02:05] Hello! [02:05] How can I get the unity bar to auto hide? Is ccsm needed there? [02:06] no look in system appearance [02:06] i.e. behavior [02:07] ahhh [02:07] beautiful [02:07] thank you!

I've installed ubuntu 12.04, and I have as well installed gnome-tweak-tool, which has reset my close button to the right. How can I get it to the left? [13:45] It seems no matter what I try, gconf-tool, it will not change back to left. [13:46] I am a developer, so changing code is not a problem. [13:50] The only thing I can do is add more buttons, I added minimize, maximize, but no switching sides. [13:50] Anyone? [13:50] It was working before I installed gnome tweak tool [13:57] RobertPlummer: Maybe unity --reset would do it, though that would loose all other unity tweaks as well.. [13:57] Sorry, I'm running gnome shell. [13:57] arand: any change? unity seems ok. [13:59] ie, unity has the close button on the right side. [14:02] arand: ? [14:02] In that case I don't know [14:04] What could be over-riding it? [14:05] How can I remove gnome-tweak-tool and purge all the changes it has made? [14:06] RobertPlummer: GNOME Shell has the close buttons on the right, are you sure you're using GNOME Shell? [14:06] Yes using gnome shell. [14:06] I'd like them on the left. [14:06] I had them on the left after I installed ubuntu 12.04 [14:06] ah, ok [14:06] I installed tweak tool and everything just changed when I went to change the theme. [14:07] Now the theme is as well stuck and the close minimize maximize. [14:07] The theme for the bars. [14:07] i can change the theme and the button type in gnome tweak, but I can't change the side. [14:07] and I can't make the taskbar theme change when I'm in appearance. [14:09] RobertPlummer: gnome-shell 3.4 has switched to dconf/gsettings, run dconf-editor (you may need to install dconf-tools) [14:09] and look in org.gnome.shell.overrides button-layout [14:10] Why is the repo allowed to contain broken packages?

[14:12] jbicha_: Can I remove gconf? [14:14] ne1 good at debugging boot issues?

I'm just gonna try rebooting [15:29] why did I think rebooting would help? [15:29] lol [15:29] my search pane is totally hosed. No matter what I type in I get zero results [15:29] "terminal" nothing. "software center" nothing. "settings" nothing. [15:29] terminal [15:29] sudo updatedb [15:29] locate file.file [15:30] locate file.sh [15:30] ...is there a way to jump out to shell from irssi? I can't open a second terminal the normal way because of this [15:31] screw it, brb [15:32] there, now I have four terms [15:34] I'm testing/playing with 12.04. There are a few issues but the one I need help with is that the "Connect to VPN" has disappeared from my Network Manager. [15:34] Where can I find documentation/help on getting this menuoption back?
