[01:20] Hello all. Quick question I hope. Ubuntu desktop and server are the same thing just with different packages at install right? [01:28] hello [01:28] how do you close a shell window without killing the process that is running? [01:29] Using something like screen. [01:29] !screen [01:29] screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [01:31] hmm but that doesnt help for something that is currently running if i dont have screen already running [01:31] right? [01:34] thats ok though [01:34] thx [01:35] Correct, if it is already running, that won't help. [01:35] so, do you have to do screen every time you might want to do something like this? [01:36] is there a way to set it as the default? [01:36] probably in the manual [01:36] "app" & exit will start it and exit the terminal [02:03] No idea when the ubuntu on android will be open for public? [02:08] I have no idea, nope. === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as benonhardware === benonsoftware is now known as Guest92794 === OutOfControl is now known as benonsoftware === benonhardware is now known as M0hi === JoseeAntonioR is now known as bodhizazen === bodhizazen is now known as JoseeAntonioR [14:00] /3 === yofel_ is now known as yofel [14:33] o/ bgs100 [14:34] hello!

[17:08] Ziek: I'd guess you already know about tmux or screen? [17:13] yes but not use screen [17:13] should learn to use it thou [17:14] One question off topic... Do you know how to configure usb wireless cards in ubuntu? [17:14] you mean like wifi dongles? [17:15] like a wireless adapter [17:16] mostly plug it in and wish that it works :D [17:17] lol [17:18] well it shows up in terminal when I list usb [17:18] lsusb? [17:18] so thats good news [17:18] yes [17:19] I bought a wifi-dongle a while back. I made sure it had Tux on the package. Just plugged it in and after a few seconds it asked me what wireless network to connect to.

[18:31] Bhavan, is it a laptop or desktop? [18:31] it is a lenovo y500 laptop [18:32] i have sorked with ubuntu 11.04 in the same laptop before had same problems but managed to get it work but have forgotten how. [18:32] i mean have worked [18:32] Bhavan, not really any suggestion, never seen a onboard keyboard not work. Do yoiu have one to plugin to check if it works? [18:32] yes i have an usb keyboard plugged in and that is the only one which works. [18:33] Bhavan, not a clue here. [18:33] i had the same problem with 11.04 and then when i loaded fedora 16 the same problem with that too [18:34] Bhavan, what happens with a live cd, just curious really. [18:35] i like ubuntu very much that is why i deleted fedora and loaded 12.04. did not work with the live cd also [18:35] imy dvd drive was not read by the system. tried an external drive still no luck [18:36] so had to use usbnetbootin to load the installation from usb drive and that worked [18:37] as soon as i loaded ubuntu it gave a suggestion to load my wifi drive which was missing. i did that but cannot get it on since the external keyboard does not have Fn keys in it!!

[19:51] cya [21:13] hi, the applications icon is gone from my launcher (ubuntu 11.10) [21:13] anyway to get it back? [21:17] applications icon? you mean the menu bar, Applications, Places, System? [21:17] They replaced the gnome-panel with Unity in 11.04 [21:23] yeah, but in the launcher previously there was an icon called 'applications'. in 11.10 it's gone. so now i can't seem to get to things like 'system tools' [21:29] wij: you can always fire up the live CD and look around in there.. see whats missing... OR make a new user account... i typically just add everything and see what is what [21:38] holstein: ok, will try it. in the mean time, how can i get to 'system tools' [21:38] wij: what are you trying to do? [21:41] long story, starting with not being able to turn off hardware accel in flash player, over trying to switch to unity 2D [21:41] wij: you choose unity2d at login [21:41] wij: AFAIK, there are no such configuration settings in flash for linux [21:42] i would suggest trying chrome, as that is likely to be our best source for flash in linux in the coming years [21:42] well the reason for this long story is that in chrome since 2 wks the hue in youtube vids is off [21:43] and one of the workarounds i saw is turning off hardware accel [21:43] but that's not clickable for me [21:44] wij, I cant play this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1veQocaigWQ&feature=share [21:44] and i saw that in unity 2d i should be able turn it off [21:44] Aw, snap! [21:44] lovely chromium + flash <3 [21:45] wij: you just install unity 2d, and choose it at login [21:46] using unity2d will not have 3d acceleration [21:47] holstein: ok, i'll try. but was i dreaming or is there no 'system tools' in ubuntu?? [21:48] wij: sure.. but none of those settings are there [21:48] bioterror: in that vid the hue is OK. how come? [21:48] holstein: so how can i access 'system tools'? [21:49] wij, my 12.04 using chromium doesnt want to show. it just crashes [21:49] instantly [21:49] wij: i dont know how to tell you to get that to open... but if you say "im trying to do X" i'll tell you where to go [21:54] holstein: nothing in particular, as I said, i remembered there were more tools then i can access via system settings. and i also remembered an icon 'applications' in the launcher which is now gone. strange things, and i'm not even using drugs :-) [21:54] wij: you can always just make a new user, login, and see what is what.. find what you are looking for [21:58] no, i can't find it using a new user either [21:58] are you using unity? [22:01] wij: i dont use unity... but you should be able to just type what you are looking for in the search area [22:01] tap the windows key and type system tools [22:02] tried that, but doesn't give any results [22:03] wij: i wouldnt worry about "system tools" just try and find what you "need" [22:03] Maybe you're looking for System Settings? [22:04] be vague.. type "system" and look through the list... type "settings" [22:10] no system settings i can find. Anyways, i'll look some further tomorrow. thanks for the help all!! === Guest92794 is now known as benonsoftware
