| acolytetojippity | Quick question, is there an easy way to determine if a given version of ubuntu will be compatible with a given hardware setup? | 01:46 |

| Fanshawe | Hello everyone. I'm trying to install a wacom graphics tablet (the 'bamboo'), but it's not yet being recognised. I believe I have to install a package called 'input-wacom', but compiling it takes too much space on my system. How can I get the tablet to work? | 15:47 |
| mrkuchbhi | im having some problems setting up two monitors with ubuntu 10.04 | 15:54 |
| Fanshawe | mrkuchbhi: I'll try to offer a hand. What seems to be your problem? | 16:01 |
| mrkuchbhi | Fanshawe: well..i have a laptop and another screen which is oriented such that..the screen is on top of the laptop..the prob is parts of the windows (half titlebar) are hiding under the main menu | 16:05 |
| mrkuchbhi | i.e. windows that i open on the laptop screen..when maximized part of their titlebar hides under the main menu | 16:06 |
| mrkuchbhi | unable to fix it | 16:07 |
| Fanshawe | I see, so your second monitor is orientated above your primary monitor, and the windows from one screen is overlapping the other? | 16:07 |
| mrkuchbhi | yes | 16:07 |
| Fanshawe | Open a terminal and try this for me: "killall gnome-panel" | 16:08 |
| Fanshawe | and then wait a few seconds | 16:08 |
| mrkuchbhi | Fanshawe: ok..but i have a few processes running..will this affect them? | 16:09 |
| Fanshawe | Nope, it will only reset the panels/menus, they'll reappear with all of the same programs on them | 16:09 |
| mrkuchbhi | Fanshawe: ok..did..no change | 16:10 |
| Fanshawe | They reappeared in the same place? | 16:10 |
| mrkuchbhi | Fanshawe: yes | 16:10 |
| Fanshawe | Hmm. It sounds like you've encountered a bug, and I'm not really good enough with Ubuntu to tell you if it can be corrected (afraid you'll have to wait for one of the regulars to reply for that) | 16:11 |
| mrkuchbhi | Fanshawe: it only seems to happen in this orientation..when I place them side by side..it works fine or appears too | 16:11 |
| mrkuchbhi | to* | 16:12 |
| mrkuchbhi | Fanshawe: ah..ok..thanks though | 16:12 |
| Fanshawe | Np. Another thing you could try is maybe reducing the size of the intervening panel by right clicking>Properties? | 16:12 |
| Fanshawe | Other than that I'm afraid I'm not sure. :( I'm sure someone else will be along, mrkuchbhi. | 16:13 |
| mrkuchbhi | Fanshawe: well it takes more of less the whole title bar of every window | 16:13 |
| mrkuchbhi | ok..np | 16:13 |
| mrkuchbhi | more or less* | 16:13 |
| raub | I installed rssh, set a "admin" user to use it as its default shell, enabled scp. And then tried: http://pastie.org/private/fqrj3tapo8azpp8qxg | 21:18 |
