| devtekalpha | Where is the ubuntustudio install guide? I cant find it | 13:44 |
|---|---|---|
| devtekalpha | Shall i just use ubuntu install guide if its the samw | 13:44 |
| holstein | devtekalpha: just download one or the other, and try it live | 13:47 |
| holstein | devtekalpha: there really shouldnt need to be a guide, other thant the GUI you will see when trying it | 13:47 |
| holstein | you can always use ubuntu, and convert it later to ubuntustudio, or add just the packages you need to ubuntu from the ubuntustudio ones | 13:48 |
| holstein | ubuntustudio is ubuntu, keep in mind... any support information about instalation will be relavant | 13:49 |
| devtekalpha | I dont need to try just want to installl. And studio better i know i need the audio stuff... If the install gui isnt weird or vague im sure ill be able to figure it out:) | 13:49 |
| devtekalpha | Ok thanks | 13:49 |
| devtekalpha | I found ubuntus guide so ill use it if i get stuck | 13:50 |
| holstein | devtekalpha: enjoy!... if you need help and its quiet in here, try #xubuntu... we use XFCE now | 13:50 |
| devtekalpha | Ah ok thanks :) | 13:52 |
| devtekalpha | Whats the difference between ubuntustudio session and xfce session? Dosnt ubuntustudio use xfce | 14:50 |
| len-dt | devtekalpha, you will find slight differences in menu background and the panel bars.... Well the later kind of gets setup by what you log in to first | 15:15 |
| len-dt | The menu setup is the big thing. | 15:15 |
| devtekalpha | Ok thanks | 15:16 |
| devtekalpha | Im trrying to setup dual monitors now on nvidia x server but the apply button is grayed out | 15:16 |
| devtekalpha | The buttuon got enabled for a second then i closed it to see if i could enable it again but no matter what settings i choose its still grayed out now | 15:17 |
| len-dt | Are you using the nvidia drivers or the free ones? | 15:17 |
| devtekalpha | I havnt installed any additional drivers | 15:18 |
| devtekalpha | But both my displays are detected | 15:18 |
| len-dt | free = nouveau you can see if you do lsmod | 15:18 |
| len-dt | If you are using the nouveau drivers then it should just work. I found I had to use two tools though. | 15:19 |
| len-dt | Arandr lets you set the displays side by side | 15:19 |
| devtekalpha | Would it be more reliable if i edit the right config file directly with gedit? | 15:20 |
| len-dt | xfce (and anything else these days) autodetects on boot and may change the settings | 15:20 |
| len-dt | Actually it detects on session start. | 15:21 |
| len-dt | so if you are setup for two monitors and you login with one of them turned off, all the dual monitor stuff goes away | 15:22 |
| devtekalpha | Well on nvidia xserver it says save x to config file (x11/xorg.conf) wont the session use that | 15:22 |
| devtekalpha | Oh i see | 15:22 |
| devtekalpha | Well i turn off secondary display a lot as it is also my tv | 15:22 |
| len-dt | So you are using a video out and not svga out? | 15:23 |
| devtekalpha | So ideally i want something which auto remembers to use both if they are both plugged inj and only primary if one is | 15:23 |
| devtekalpha | Primary is dvi cable. Secondary(tv) is rgb/vga analog cable | 15:23 |
| devtekalpha | Both are detetected with correct names in nvidiaxserver | 15:24 |
| len-dt | svga or dvi auto detects power on, 75ohm video detects the monitor as being there even with power off | 15:24 |
| len-dt | To be honest, I did not do much testing with powering the second monitor on and off. I don't use dual myself so I had to set it up just for testing. | 15:25 |
| devtekalpha | I see | 15:25 |
| len-dt | arandr has a svae function that should allow you to save the two setups. And recall the one that fits | 15:26 |
| len-dt | s/svae/save | 15:26 |
| devtekalpha | So theres no way to force the session to use a file i make? Where i can setup priorities. Id rather do some text editing if possible than install more software | 15:27 |
| devtekalpha | Illl try arandr though if i cant do just file editing | 15:27 |
| len-dt | arandr is allready installed | 15:27 |
| len-dt | its in settings | 15:27 |
| devtekalpha | Oh right. Ill find it then . Phones about to run out of battery. Thanks for the help. | 15:28 |
| devtekalpha | What bit torrent client would someone reccommend for ubuntu studio | 21:03 |
| devtekalpha | Im going with transmission | 21:20 |
| devtekalpha | Iv selected transparent in terminal settings but it is still solid/opaque? | 23:09 |
| devtekalpha | Im using ubuntustudio session not xfce if thats relevant | 23:09 |
| Unit193 | Menu > Settings > Settings Manager > Window manager tweaks > Compositor is it enabled? | 23:10 |
| devtekalpha | Ahh that solved it thanks :) | 23:11 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 23:13 |
