| Farmer_ | hi, im looking for a way to search for files via a gui....is catfish still the best option for that? | 20:42 |
| Unit193 | While I don't use a GUI for that, pretty much on catfish. The newer version is much better though. | 20:45 |
| Farmer_ | i was very satisfied with the gnome-search-tool...is it similar to that? | 20:45 |
| Unit193 | Unless it pulls in too many depends, you could just use that. | 20:47 |
| Farmer_ | i can use find in a console, but if people not familiar with linux want to search for musik on the weekend, i need something with a gui | 20:47 |
| Unit193 | I actually like locate better. | 20:47 |
| Farmer_ | well, its xfce, not gnome? | 20:47 |
| Unit193 | I'm compiling the new catfish so I can take a SS for you. That type of GNome tool shouldn't really matter, unless it's pulling in too many depends. | 20:48 |
| Farmer_ | ah, i just read it is possible | 20:49 |
| Unit193 | http://ubuntuone.com/13mJncGJKapMaXQVRcaCGx and http://ubuntuone.com/0tr9W1dwUlPAOHwn8JO91P | 20:51 |
| len-dt | Farmer_, you can also use the search tool in nautilus in 12.04 | 20:53 |
| Farmer_ | ah, i see thx | 20:54 |
| len-dt | The main menu has file manager at the top which open nautilus, then select go from the nautilus menu | 20:54 |
| Farmer_ | len-dt: perfect, thank you all | 20:56 |
| len-dt | NP | 20:56 |
| sunz | Hello! What is wrong with vim in ubuntu-studio default installation? It does behave somehow weird, some key seem not to do what i expect. Is vim messed up, or am I? | 21:13 |
| ailo | sunz: Don't think Ubuntu Studio devs use vim a lot. Probably related to Xubuntu, or Ubuntu | 21:21 |
| ailo | You could ask on #xubuntu, #ubuntu (and perhaps double check with a live CD, to compare) | 21:21 |
| sunz | ailo, i just found somewhere in forums, they say ubnuts have only a vim-tiny package installed, so i guess i need to install some more, still checking it out | 21:22 |
| sunz | but i have another question, ubuntu-studio is not very popular, is it? am i safe to use it in production environment? | 21:23 |
| sunz | are there any downsides compared to using plain ubuntu? | 21:23 |
| ailo | sunz: Ubuntu Studio comes preconfigured to give you settings towards high performance for audio | 21:24 |
| ailo | And a bunch of other things | 21:24 |
| ailo | Depends on what you mean with downside | 21:24 |
| ailo | If you're into multimedia, you'll probably prefer Ubuntu Studio over regular Ubuntu | 21:25 |
| sunz | im doing lots of webdevelopment most of the time, but need to go deeper into audio and video, and 3D as well, thats why i thought ubuntu-studio is the right one | 21:26 |
| sunz | since this is a LTS release, can be safe to get at least critical bugs fixed? | 21:26 |
| ailo | sunz: It's the same base as any other Ubuntu derivative. The desktop is more or less derived from Xubuntu | 21:27 |
| ailo | If you like, you can use any derivative, and install the packages you need separatelyu | 21:27 |
| ailo | If you don't need low latency with your audio, you don't need linux-lowlatency or realtime privileges set up | 21:28 |
| ailo | sunz: What you could do is install regular Ubuntu (if that is the one you prefer), and install things like ubuntustudio-graphics, ubuntustudio-video on top of it | 21:28 |
| sunz | ok thx, i like the setup of ubuntu studio very much, except for that vim thing :) | 21:28 |
| sunz | plus, it took me a ton of time to figure out that i need to enable lcd filtering for proper font rendering | 21:29 |
| sunz | as for me, it should be enabled by default | 21:29 |
| ailo | There are some differences between XFCE and Unity/Gnome. All of them uses stuff from Gnome, but you get upsides and downsides with all of them | 21:30 |
| ailo | I guess Gnome and Unity are best supported, since they are the most popular | 21:31 |
| sunz | well, i have been using plain ubuntu with unity for last 3 month and i hated it more every day, ended up using awesome wm | 21:31 |
| sunz | now im happe with studio so far | 21:31 |
| ailo | I had a look at awesome, but felt like Gnome3 already had everything I need | 21:32 |
| ailo | Unity is a bit strange for me | 21:32 |
| ailo | XFCE is ok too | 21:32 |
| sunz | the awesome part in awesome is its speed, but tiling works not exactly the way i want it, so for now my choice is XFCE, where i use the stickyness of the windows alot | 21:33 |
| ailo | I find gnome3 pretty fast. It's just enough fast that whatever is slow doesn't bother me. I'm sure awesome is awesome in that regard though | 21:35 |
| ailo | Just hate to set things up all the time | 21:35 |
| ailo | On Gnome, there's not much you need to set up, or can even | 21:35 |
| ailo | When on other WM's, even Mac or Windows, I keep pointing the mouse up towards the left upper corner to bring up all the windows, and work-spaces | 21:36 |
| ailo | It's just as good when only using the keyboard | 21:37 |
| sunz | i would use Gnome too, if there was no XFCE, but i dont really like that direction gnome and unity are developing into, i dont want a search box in the menu that searches everything and needs seconds for that | 21:37 |
| ailo | The search is pretty fast for me. But could be it's not the first time, when just logging in | 21:38 |
| ailo | Lightning fast even | 21:38 |
| sunz | as for the vim question, i found out it was running in vi compatible mode, wich is turned off with :set nocp , that did the trick, in case someone is interested | 21:38 |
| ailo | Super key -> nv -> Enter: nvidia-settings, in 1-2 seconds | 21:38 |
| ailo | Ok :) | 21:39 |
| sunz | the problem is, i dont always know what i am looking for, i hate it to stare at the search box trying to remember the name of "that one thing" | 21:39 |
| ailo | There is a program menu available too, that can be added to the upper bar | 21:40 |
| ailo | Also, inside the shell | 21:40 |
| ailo | What I do, is I add those to favorites | 21:40 |
| ailo | I mean, the programs that I don't care to remember what they are called | 21:41 |
| sunz | well, there still is the speed issue, i bet if you worked with awesome 2-3 weeks, you would not go back to gnome or unity | 21:41 |
| ailo | If I get through setting it up first ;) | 21:41 |
| sunz | at least in my case, im going back to XFCE :) | 21:41 |
| sunz | well thank you, i gotta go get some work done | 21:42 |
| ailo | same here | 21:42 |
| astraljava | ailo: You'd be really wrong, there. vim is the first tool I install on a new box. :) | 22:13 |
| ailo | astraljava: Ok :). I should have phrased, I don't know if.. | 22:35 |
