[00:06] <_nonlocal> Hello. I have what may be a stupid question. I have bought a new computer with an hdmi out which I am presently running through, connected to my TV. The image is smaller than teh available screen space. It is slight but it bothers me. My windows OS (or even my xbox) have a slider in the settings to adjust the image size to fit the borders of the screen. I cannot find this in ubuntu, and googling has so far failed me.Or more likely I have failed it... neverth [00:07] <_nonlocal> I should note I am actually running the vanilla ubuntu interface right now. new hardware seemed like a good time to finally check out unity [00:07] Try here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=148662 [00:08] <_nonlocal> ah yes, overscan/underscan, the jargon I couldn't quite call to mind. Thanks. [00:17] <_nonlocal> Oh hello xorg.conf, we meet again... }8[ [00:22] what are you outputting to the HDMI display? [00:22] is this for media, or something else? [00:23] (if you're watching videos and whatnot on your TV, it may be simpler to use XBMC which has overscan adjustment) [00:26] <_nonlocal> babble, I am outputting everything [00:26] <_nonlocal> I dont ghave a regular monitor right now\ [00:26] if you're using it as a regular display, then a custom xorg modeline is your best bet [00:26] <_nonlocal> thanks. Its funny I just installed xbmc to check if it had an adjustment. [00:27] <_nonlocal> (I am also getting used to this stupid frenglish kbd. Please excuse frequent typos.) [00:28] there's a MythTV wiki that may also help [00:28] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Overscan [00:29] if you have an nvidia card, you may try the nvidia-settings utility [00:29] <_nonlocal> ati. [00:29] <_nonlocal> ati config has an overscan toggle [00:29] <_nonlocal> but it is just off or on [00:30] if you're using fglrx drivers, it looks like you can specify a specific amount from the commandline: [00:30] http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?14806-fglrx-overscan [00:30] pasting from that thread... [00:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/974774/ [00:32] try a dpkg-reconfigure with the monitor hooked up and then run aticonfig --initial [00:33] Xorg will try to be smart and autodetect your monitor for you on a dpkg-reconfigure [00:33] <_nonlocal> thanks. I notice once I installed fglrx drivers... it stopped detecting my tv as tv [00:33] <_nonlocal> and started calling it 'laptop' [00:33] jockey-gtk maybe do this work [00:34] <_nonlocal> aticonfig --tvinfo reports the tv is not connected, which I assure you it is :) [00:34] <_nonlocal> although perhaps it is looking for two displays [00:34] try a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:34] and then aticonfig --initial [00:34] the fglrx driver may have just guessed wrong [00:35] probably not - it's probably just guessing from the resolution reported by the TV over HDMI and guessing it's a widescreen laptop display in the absence of a better guess. [00:37] see also the manpage for aticonfig: [00:37] http://man.cx/aticonfig(1) [00:38] looks like you can force resolutions: [00:38] aticonfig −−resolution=1600x1200,1280x1024,1024x768 [00:38] <_nonlocal> whoops, how do I reload the display settings? ctrl-alt-backspace no longer works?\ [00:41] the safest way I know of is to drop to a console and restart lightdm [00:41] ctrl-alt-f1, and log in [00:41] then sudo service lightdm restart [00:47] ...and there's this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11914927 [00:48] xrandr --output --set underscan on (or off, depending) [00:49] "Could try a overscan correction with xrandr" [00:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1849599&highlight=intel+overscan+xrandr&page=2 [00:49] <_nonlocal> Yes, reading [00:49] <_nonlocal> This seems to be similar to the custom modeline [00:50] it's all ways of dancing around the same basic issue, yeah. [00:50] xorg autodetection in this case is making a bad assumption, so you can fiddle to force it to do otherwise. [00:51] <_nonlocal> xrander won't let me go any bigger than 1920 so I will still have bars on two edges [00:51] um. [00:51] 1920x1080 is 1080p [00:52] unless you're saying you have a 4k display, you don't need bigger than 1920x1080 [00:52] <_nonlocal> It's annoying because connected by VGA I have a pixel-by-pixel option but hdmi I do not [00:52] you said it was on HDMI [00:52] <_nonlocal> that's just it, I'm connected at 1080p [00:52] <_nonlocal> but still seeing borders [00:52] 1080p is 1920x1080 [00:52] then you're not outputting 1080p [00:52] <_nonlocal> Yes. [00:52] you don't need larger than 1920 horizontal pixels [00:53] <_nonlocal> I am at 1920x1080p. The TV is messing with it I think [00:53] if you're using a vga port and not an hdmi port, you're not likely to ever get 1080p [00:53] <_nonlocal> not vga [00:53] <_nonlocal> hdmi. I have connected to the tv with vga in the past though [00:54] you're not really listening to what I'm saying [00:54] if you think you need larger than 1920 horizontal, you don't [00:54] unless you have a 4k display (which you very likely do not) [00:54] <_nonlocal> no you're right [00:55] if you're seeing pillarbox bars, your computer is not OUTPUTTING 1920x1080 regardless of whatever the television's native resolution is [00:55] <_nonlocal> It is. I believe the TV is the problem. [00:55] <_nonlocal> in windows I had to adjust down to fit the desktop on the screen [00:55] <_nonlocal> underscan? [00:56] <_nonlocal> likewise ubuntu was off the edge when I first installed [00:56] <_nonlocal> after installing fglrx I am boxed [00:56] see if you can force the television to do 720p and set a resolution modeline for 1280x720 [00:56] <_nonlocal> which is better than missing half the dock [00:56] <_nonlocal> but not ideal === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:10] hi, people [01:11] I am a rookie and I don't know how to hide folders or files in Xubuntu. Would ya help please? [01:11] Put a dot (.) in front of the name. [01:12] thanks [01:13] is Windows gonna recognize that as Hidden? [01:18] unit193: ? [01:18] Nope, not normally. [01:19] thanks, pal [01:19] bye === zmoylan1 is now known as zmoylan [02:51] Hi, I was playing with my panel and remove the mail, volume bar icon bar by clicking on removing something called notification plugin I think, it did say if I choose to removie then it's permanently lost, anyway to get it back? [02:51] Thanks! [02:51] yes [02:52] go to right click >panel >add element, there search plugin indicator [02:52] done [02:53] Thank you! It's now fixed. [02:57] Now it's strange how I get a extra bluetooth icon mixed in with my mail, volume and network icon, any way to get rid of it? [03:05] xubuntu149, you have now two pluging indicators [03:05] delete one [04:26] xubuntu rocks [04:27] I can customize my ass out here, and it'll still be light and work [05:30] will there be better support for multiple displays in future xubuntu releases? [05:37] heikokoko: what should be better? [05:39] in short: everything. you can't even disable mirroring in the display settings. [05:42] can someone help me with the xubuntu desktop cd under 64 bit vista? [05:43] !ask | xubuntu646 [05:43] xubuntu646: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [05:43] ok in that case... [05:43] I burnt the dvd using the instructions on the xubuntu website (infrarecorder) [05:44] after that, I tried to do a couple of things with it [05:44] first thing [05:44] I restarted my computer with the disk in there [05:44] and a xubuntu logo showed up [05:44] but then it turned into a command line [05:44] and then I tried typing some basic stuff on the command line (for lack of anything else to do) [05:44] and it is said panic mode or something [05:44] and then it froze [05:44] second thing I tried [05:44] if you set it up with arandr or similar, there still is no automatic reaction on (dis)connection monitors and so on. support for multiple displays seems almost nonexistent (or is very well hidden). don't get me wrong, this is not a "your os sucks" rant. I love xubuntu, I'm very well aware that there is a lot of voluntary work behind it. i'm not making demands. [05:44] was to reboot into vista [05:45] and then I tried double clicking on it [05:45] and then it decided to ask me what to name the CD and it formats the cd [05:45] so I'm super confused now [05:45] heikokoko: any special configuration? triple display with ATI on my workstation is no problem [05:46] putting my thinkpad in the dockigstation and automatic detection of the external display is no problem [05:46] koegs: how did you set it up? xubuntu display settings? [05:46] triple display: ati control panel [05:46] thinkpad: nothing, automagic :) [05:46] intel graphics here [05:47] same on the thinkpad [05:47] let me try with my thinkpad ... [05:48] i have to go to work, but i will read your findings later in the office [05:49] that test already failed due to lack of a vga cable :) [05:52] Changelog for util-linux says ddate was removed in 2.11z-3, returned in 2.11z-4, doesn't mention it was again dropped, but isn't in 2.20.1.util-linux [05:53] on the desktop pc i have no automation there at all. if I connect a monitor, I have to set it up manually each time(, or run the script arandr generated). [05:54] Where can I download Xubuntu? [05:55] the topic says "Xubuntu 12.04 is out! Download from http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu" [05:55] The ISOs get a 403 and the torrent files (just the torrent files, not their actual contents) stop downloading halfway [05:55] If it was that easy I wouldn't be here, lol [05:55] ThePendulum, which image? [05:55] Nvm, managed to find a copy [05:56] what iso gives 403 ? [05:56] knome: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/precise/release/desktop/ <-- Both of them, for me at least [05:56] The torrents seem to work though [05:58] well that's the idea, that's the torrent server [05:59] knome, why're they listed? [05:59] ^ [05:59] ThePendulum, http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/precise/release/ [05:59] ronsonol, no idea, that's something to ask from the canonical IS. [05:59] The fact they're listed surely is a tad confusing [06:00] but it's still the torrent. server [06:01] I always do the torrent anyway. Just to irritate my ISP with *legit* torrents. :) [06:02] so after I burnt that desktop CD, vista tried to rename/reformat it instead of actually running it. Do you think I burnt it correctly? I used InfraRecorder as suggested... [06:03] xubuntu646: You can run it by booting from it [06:03] (to avoid Windows completely) [06:04] What is the expected behavior at that point? [06:04] For me it opened a command prompt, [06:04] but when I tried "ls" it said it was entering panic mode [06:04] and then computer crashed [06:04] You should see a GUI installer and be able to install Xubuntu (either overwriting Windows or installing it alongside) [06:05] hmm [06:05] I saw the xubuntu logo [06:05] and a loading bar moved for about 5 min [06:05] but then the screen turned black [06:05] and this prompt just came up [06:05] Strange... [06:05] I don't know if the disc may be faulty [06:05] I didn't know what I was supposed to type into the prompt [06:05] I tried "install" [06:05] I usually just burn the ISOs to the disc directly when on Windows [06:06] Or create a USB stick using UNetbootin [06:06] Never had issues during instalation [06:06] xubuntu646: You shouldn't see a prompt by default at all [06:06] for me this is the second disc which did this... [06:06] I'm afraid I have to leave for school now. I will be back later today. [06:06] so maybe my burner is bad? [06:06] xubuntu646: Perhaps, you could try to burn something completely different to find out [06:06] o, other things work fine [06:06] just this is giving me issues [06:07] Your burner should be fine then [06:07] I'm afraid I really have to leave now :| I hope the others here will continue to help you [06:07] Cheers [06:43] hi [06:49] hello [06:50] have anyone problems with the shortcuts keys in the 12.04 version ? [06:50] mines are ofen dead :( [06:50] did you read the release notes?

[09:01] that question didn't make sense [09:01] Sorry [09:02] i'd imagine you have to install a display manager (a login screen), try installing lightdm [09:02] Im confuse with installation [09:03] Ok i try with lightdm [09:04] mrwbsn, if you are confused because you installed with mini, try using a normal xubuntu disc. [09:04] I have downloaded alternate version iso [09:04] did desktop not work?

[15:59] Guest54736: i usually do that by searching... but trying live CD's is just easy and non-technical [15:59] rhin0: i used the default one.. vino and/or vinagre [15:59] ok - was ussing vinagre on ubuntu [15:59] will google it [16:00] rhin0: make sure you have vino installed and launch "vino-preferences".. should work just like it does in main ubuntu [16:00] vino on the server? [16:00] I know vinagre was client [16:00] holstein: so live cds of other distros? [16:00] ta [16:01] Guest54736, you can install inxi, then in terminal inxi -F [16:01] nice little program for sysinfo [16:01] Guest54736: i typically just throw ones in til something works more appropriately.. searching around in the forums for someone with that hardware can help, but really a kernel revision can change everything [16:03] yes i read once that in linux generic 3.3 is simulating a microsoft windows startup and so working better with bios bugs, the windows i have installed is silent and cool [16:03] how can i install the 3.3 kernel backend?# [16:05] Guest54736: you can always look for a live CD that has the kernel you are looking for to see if that is actually going to be helpfu [16:06] Guest54736: could be the graphics driver would really make the difference.. i have a via chip that just gets hot, and theres nothing to do about it really [16:06] Guest54736: wont do any good comparing the windows drivers with the linux drivers [16:06] a live cd of xubuntu? sorry i dont understand ur workaround... [16:07] Guest54736: its not a workaround.. its a troubleshooting step [16:07] :) [16:08] Guest54736: you are proposing that the 3.3 kernel will help.. im proposing finding *any* live CD that has that kernel [16:08] ah ok [16:08] you pop it it.. boot.. test... you dont effect the machine at all.. and you get to see if it *actually* helps or not [16:08] in my case, its the grahpics driver... the machine gets hot just as you are experiencing.. this is a VIA graphics chip and will never be properly supported [16:09] ok live cd's sound good [16:09] i will give that a try [16:09] Guest54736: is that you issue?... i dont know.. you can use that tool aquix suggested to get more information about the harware... you could open a terminal and run lspci [16:10] hi [16:15] lspci says 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12) [16:15] can i trust inxi? [16:15] yup :) [16:15] how to find the installed graphic driver and where to find more? [16:17] in terminal: inxi -h to see all the options inxi -G for graphic card info [16:18] when I mount the Win-partition to the Xubuntu-partition, can I find these pics etc at Win too or are they now only on Xubuntu? [16:19] if you can access files on the linux partition from windows? [16:20] at the moment I can´t find anything from the win-p. at Linux [16:21] but I want to see and edit all the files at Win & Ubuntu [16:21] but don´t want to have them two times at the hard drive [16:21] *twice :) [16:22] the partitions get's mounted each time you boot the machine. it's easy to mount windows partitions in linux. but you have to use a program in windows to access a linux partition. ( windows don't play well with others) [16:23] ok, so I have the Files at the OS I´m using at the moment [16:23] ah ok so the drivers are in the kernel? when i upgrade the kernel i get other drivers? [16:23] hm? [16:24] ah ok ^^ [16:24] other prob :d [16:24] Phips-, what are you using now? [16:24] as standard Win [16:24] and there are all the files ^^ [16:25] your in windows right now? [16:25] you mean that I´m online now with Win? [16:25] yeah? [16:26] yes, but at an other comp [16:26] ah, ok. [16:26] i know my graphic card is in the intel processor integrated and there is a kernel module "i915 intel graphics" sounds good?!? [16:28] Phips-, well, if you use the windows partition for your files (ntfs file system). then you can mount that with ease in linux, and use it like any other partition. so you have the same files i both windows and linux. [16:28] if I explained that righly :) [16:28] i hope so [16:28] :d [16:29] and what is ease o.O [16:29] Phips-, I once had a dual boot of win7 and linux mint. I then had virtualbox on the mint machine with win7 and saved the files in virtualbox on the windows partition. :p [16:30] Phips- ease means it's easy to do. [16:30] yes I have that now :d [16:30] sry, from Germany [16:31] no worries [16:31] I thought everyone in Germany used opensuse :) [16:31] :p [16:32] so, is a programm for that mounting necessary or works it with a command? [16:33] Is it just me, or are the bottom two corners of windows really hard to grab? [16:34] Phips- not for what you want. Just come to this chat next time you are in linux. You have to add an entry into your /etc/fstab, but that is done in 2 min. [16:35] brb. smokes. [16:35] ok [16:35] I´ve read about this here http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/mount#Datentraeger-einhaengen [16:38] when I understand that right I have to incorporate a file in /etc/fstab [16:41] Hi, the 12.04 xubuntu live disk kernel panics after about 2 minutes (of loading screen) [16:43] Phips- this guy have good tutorials http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindowsfstab [16:43] ouh thx ^^ [16:44] np [16:44] psychocat :d [16:45] and this pic at the top ^^ :d [16:45] good nick :) [16:45] ^^ [16:47] I would appreciate it when sb may help me at this "operation" ;) [16:48] so, i´ll connect again when I´m on Xubuntu, i have xchat already taken in operation [16:48] just ask here. most people have done it before [16:48] so, i think that´s going to work ^^ [16:48] ok [16:48] much thanks [16:48] see you soon bye === jalcine is now known as jacky [17:37] For the past two weeks I've been trying to get Xubuntu on my Mac G5. No success so far. Apperently there is something wrong with the xorg.conf file. I intend to write a small but clear how-to as soon as I get it working properly. [17:56] cc_INC did not even know they still did ppc releases [18:05] hi [18:06] hi any idia to put my intel graphic card work with 3d drivers? [18:06] sorry [18:07] i am did not finish the instalation [18:16] is worth going from ubuntu 10.04 to Xubuntu 12.04 ? [18:19] grelot: Depends on how much you appreciate stability. If you're not in a hurry, wait up until the first point release, when the update-manager will recommend doing so. [18:19] ok [18:19] grelot: After that you can just install xubuntu-desktop, and everything's great. [18:20] hello [18:20] I am testing it with a live usb. it looks nice [18:20] I'm installing Xubuntu, any tips? [18:20] Indeed I'm downloading... [18:21] get rid of the bottom panel [18:22] hehe [18:22] and what panel should I use? [18:22] mips1911 I intend to use the mini.iso from the Ubuntu PowerPC download page. This is a base command line system only. [18:22] After installing I need to download a desktop. My choice will be Xubuntu as I am a big big Xubuntu fan. [18:23] Today I will give it another try and edit the xorg.conf so I can get my Mac G5 Nvidia card to work properly. [18:23] First few attempts gave me a blank screen. [18:24] The last few attempts gave me a Xubuntu desktop that looked like my 3 year old had drawn and painted the desktop. [18:24] there's also xfce 4.10 released 10 days ago but for PPC you might have to compile from source [18:24] So I'm making a little progress :) [18:25] Yeah I will wait till Xubuntu comes with Xfce 4.10 [18:25] I'm lazy :) [18:29] 4.10 will only appear in 12.10 xubuntu [18:36] how much better is 4.10 than 4.8? [18:37] aquix: i will install it because of tiling! [18:38] aquix: http://xfce.org/about/tour [18:38] there you have all changes [18:39] is tiling anything like the compiz scale feature? [18:39] aquix: you mean? [18:40] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19X0gng_-qk [18:40] its like this [18:40] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHesPRMTTSg [18:40] that isnt tiling [18:40] but you can install compiz :P [18:41] I have. and scale is the only thing I use it for because hot corner/edges are the most brilliant thing ever [18:41] feels like overkill though [18:41] what is it? === odo is now known as Guest99770 [18:42] hi! im back. mz problem is still that the machine is hot and loud. i trzed now kernel 3.3 with fedora 17 beta live cd, but still the same [18:42] Guest99770: ? [18:42] your pc is hot? [18:42] Guest99770: what graphics driver?... what graphics hardware? [18:42] as i have a samsung notebook there are onlz officiallz suported windows drivers [18:43] you can touch an screen edge/corner with your mouse (no clicking) and get all the open windows in a fullscreen menu [18:43] wait [18:43] aquix: a ok [18:44] aquix: dont think this will be implemented soon [18:45] I know, because that would be a completely perfect day :) [18:45] hehe [18:45] i personally dont need that stuff [18:46] it's addictive. I have used compiz for over a year, and I can't live withpout it. [18:46] thats what i used to say... [18:47] how come? [18:47] what did you do about it? [18:47] can't stand compiz, even got xfce compositing turned off [18:48] thats the only thing i have thats "shiny" :D the xfce compositions :) [18:48] Machine is Samsung P580 Pro Penfield Graphic is intel HD Graphics im now in Fedora... cant see the driver it was in xubuntu 12.04 something csalled i*number* intel graphics revision 12 [18:48] Guest99770: cpu speed? [18:48] I know compiz is bloat, but its features are soo good :) [18:48] and graphics card clock would be nice [18:49] baiyon ure talking to me_ [18:49] Guest99770: intel is usually weel supported... i would not be afraid to boot up 10.04 and see how an earlier kernel supports that hardware [18:49] well* [18:49] mhm ok [18:50] holstein, what about the intel drivers in the x-swat ppa, any good? [18:50] what about older kernels>? are there no security issues? [18:50] mips1911: i havent needed to try them... not a bad suggestion for Guest99770 though [18:50] Guest99770: not from a live CD [18:50] Guest99770: ubuntu 10.04 is supported for another year on the desktop [18:51] Guest99770: you need only boot something that "works" then you can troubleshoot the current set up [18:51] this means 1 zear security fixes? [18:51] xubuntu too? [18:51] xubuntu = ubuntu [18:51] ok [18:51] so i find something that works [18:51] holstein, I think I will be trying them tomorrow some time for my 12.04 lubuntu install [18:52] Guest99770 Do you only have the intel card, or do you have an nvidia card there as well? [18:52] and then i look at the setup *how can i do that?) [18:52] yeah... sounds like something you'd see from nvidia or via hardware [18:52] and trz to put it into 12.04 [18:52] no only onboard graphic intel chip [18:53] i bought it because its always colder and more silent ... [18:53] i kind of tolerate it on my via hardware.. i think loud and hot is still more suitable for me than windows... this machine came with SUSE preloaded too, which is odd [18:53] the cpu load is 0 - 1 percent and the fan is loud and the machine is hot [18:54] yes ure right but my battery gets fucked of it [18:54] and im afraid of the rest of the hardware [18:54] Guest99770: i would find the *exact* #'s for the graphics card, and search the forums.. and stop cussing in here [18:54] Guest99770: there was a kernel patch for my EEE i found... thats intel [18:55] the exact name? the exact driver [18:55] Guest99770: i personally fear windows more than replacing some hardware.. but thats just me [18:55] Guest99770: i run lspci.. i see 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller [18:56] i drop that into google like this.. "ubuntu wiki Intel Corporation N10 Family" or something like that [18:56] kernel patches ... how to install them>? i found many on my searchsurfs but dont know how to use [18:56] Guest99770: you dont have one... nor do you know you need one.. so i say, dont worry about that til you know you need it [18:57] Guest99770: i am offering troubleshooting advice.. without the machine in front of me, thats about the best i can do [18:57] ok thanks a lot! [18:57] i know now how to get further ... [18:57] thank u [18:57] Guest99770: sure.. take it slow... run xubuntu in VM or virtualbox.. buy a machine for $20 at a charity shop... [18:58] Guest99770: i say, take some time and get your feet wet with the OS.. like you did with windows likely [18:58] imagine its day one with windows and the fan is kicking up.. you wouldnt "fix" it.. you'd just tolerate it for a bit [18:58] i have xubuntu alrady installed and windows kicked in the trash [18:59] yes im dealing with this now for half a year and now i want to change it to be able to use my computer everywhere with battery [18:59] i found things about hot machines [19:00] as far as i know for now [19:00] it could be because of bios bugs [19:00] Guest99770: i get less battery with all my machines with linux on them, and i consider that to be worth the hassle [19:00] and windows is curing them [19:00] ubuntu not [19:00] Guest99770: it could be.. flash the bios [19:00] but thats what kernel 3.3 tries to do too ... emulation windows acapi ... [19:01] the via machine i keep mentioning did much better with an earlier bios i flashed to it [19:01] Guest99770: i dont think that is the issue... but i could be wrong [19:01] ok im afraid of flash9ing the bios but i think too that i should try that ... the is an update of evil samsung out [19:02] they provide only the new bios and not the old one [19:02] Guest99770: maybe put windows back on and sell it.. take the money and buy some used hardware you wont be afraid of [19:02] if its worse after (samsung recomends windows) arg [19:02] or get a system76 rig [19:04] system76 is expensive, you are better off sourcing your own stuff and building a rig [19:04] system76 rig? [19:05] mips1911: not so easily done with laptops. [19:06] system76 are good? what about them so special? [19:07] they are designed for ubuntu [19:07] arguably better off.. i say its worth the $$ [19:09] Zareason. Emperor Linux. blah blah. [19:11] Guest99770, they are actually just rebranded laptops from laptops from other manufacturers, last time I checked (about 2-3yrs ago) they were using Asus laptops. [19:13] thez look very muchlike my laptop .. [19:27] thx bye [19:41] hello all [19:42] I get this error from Monodevelop: Error when trying to load the project Project does not support framework '.NETFramework,Version=v4.0' [19:43] think something is missing, but can't find anything in the repositories [20:17] hello all [20:20] !hi [20:20] Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! [20:25] I installed Xubuntu on an old P4 and I like it. I'm starting to get into networking, so I'm buying up a few old systems and going to hook them up [20:31] hello [20:32] hi [20:32] I'm trying to move the thing in my panel [20:32] But I cannot send all the icons to the left they keep on the left, what should I add to move them to the right? [20:34] what "thing" [20:34] icons [20:34] time, date, notifications apps menu [20:35] is the stuff on you panel not locked? [20:36] Anyone here using tint2? [20:36] mips1911: I can't move it to the left [20:37] I can move mine [20:37] Infy_, in my openbox setup I do [20:37] mips1911: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-05082012-033640pm.php [20:38] see above [20:38] I can't move them to the left [20:38] mips1911: I'm running x64 xubuntu and having this issue [20:38] right* [20:39] is ppa avaleable to upgrade xfce to 4.10 ? [20:39] http://code.google.com/p/tint2/issues/detail?id=353 [20:39] Any suggestions? [20:40] Infy+. do you have a seperator on the panel [20:41] A separator? What do you mean? [20:41] aguitel, yes! [20:41] A separator in xfce4-panel? [20:41] mips1911, could you send to me the url ? [20:41] Infy_ hang five so I can do a screenshot and upload [20:41] kk [20:42] aguitel, https://launchpad.net/~mrpouit/+archive/ppa [20:43] mips1911, this is pre xfce 4.10 ? or not [20:44] no, 4.10. If you want I can start up my xubuntu 12.04 vm with 4.8 [20:44] Infy_ http://ompldr.org/vZG83dQ/panel.png on 4.10 [20:44] mips1911, how start with 4.8 [20:45] Ah [20:45] aguitel, what do you mean? [20:45] but what does that have to do with tint2? I still can't get it to render [20:45] mips1911, you make the upgrade ? [20:45] Infy_ hang 5 and I'll give you the default 4.8 setup in 12.04 [20:46] aguitel, add the ppa to your repos, sudo apt-get update and then install xfdesktop I think [20:47] you make it? [20:47] it works? [20:48] aguitel, no one of the xubuntu team members made it. Yes it works fine [20:50] mips1911, you advise to make the upgrade or to wait more time ? [20:50] Infy_ stock xubuntu 12.04 panel layout http://ompldr.org/vZG84Mw/panel2.png [20:50] thanks [20:51] aguitel, that's up to you, I'm happy with it. There is no official support for it though. [21:02] Infy_, did you come right? === bbk is now known as BBKaneda [22:00] Weird [22:00] I really can't move the icons in the top bar to the right [22:03] n-iCe, go to the panel preferences, and edit the position of elements from there [22:04] yeah but all the icons are in the left [22:05] add a separator if you have removed them [22:06] oh that could be [22:06] http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-05082012-050442pm.php [22:06] the separator must go before or after? [22:07] after the skype launcher [22:07] then make it expand [22:07] if it doesn't, by default [22:08] THAT DID IT [22:08] Awesome [22:08] thanks knome [22:10] no problem [22:12] I'm loving xubuntu [22:12] great to hear that [22:19] I'll be around [22:20] something is different here too [22:20] I can't move/grab the windows to set it in other place [22:20] in the window buttons [22:22] what? [22:22] you the see windows buttons right? [22:22] when you open a site, or a terminal or a software are listed in the windows buttons [22:23] but if I launch gimp at the end, after lunched two terminal windows [22:23] oh yes [22:23] I can't move the gimp window button to the beggining, before the 2 terminals buttons [22:23] why? [22:23] you have to go to the options and choose the option to allow drag and drop [22:24] because the default state is to not allow it [22:24] done [22:24] again, thanks [22:24] GridCube, i didn't know that either :) [22:24] awesome [22:25] :P [22:25] lock panel your talking about? [22:25] nope [22:30] on system monitor, proccesor says: Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU P8400 @ 2.26GHz × 2 [22:30] I assume by x2 is because is detecting both, right? [22:31] n-iCe, i imagine so [22:41] I get this error from Monodevelop: Error when trying to load the project Project does not support framework '.NETFramework,Version=v4.0' [22:41] think something is missing, but can't find anything in the repositories [22:45] !mono [22:47] maybe ubottu is sleeping [22:47] he doesnt know [22:48] !gender [22:48] yes, I can confirm I am a female bot :) [22:48] rolesp, you might better ask in ##mono [22:48] :) [22:49] ok GridCube, I try, thanks [22:49] is in this server? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:30] xubuntu with lxde :D I love it [23:30] How can I install and try trinity, or is it even worth it [23:30] that sounds like lubuntu [23:31] haha
