[01:46] <acolytetojippity> Quick question, is there an easy way to determine if a given version of ubuntu will be compatible with a given hardware setup?
[01:49] <JoseeAntonioR> acolytetojippity: Try it with the live cd
[01:52] <acolytetojippity> has worked
[01:52] <acolytetojippity> worked fine
[15:47] <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?
[15:54] <mrkuchbhi> im having some problems setting up two monitors with ubuntu 10.04
[16:01] <Fanshawe> mrkuchbhi: I'll try to offer a hand. What seems to be your problem?
[16:05] <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
[16:06] <mrkuchbhi> i.e. windows that i open on the laptop screen..when maximized part of their titlebar hides under the main menu
[16:07] <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
[16:08] <Fanshawe> Open a terminal and try this for me: "killall gnome-panel"
[16:08] <Fanshawe> and then wait a few seconds
[16:09] <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
[16:10] <mrkuchbhi> Fanshawe: ok..did..no change
[16:10] <Fanshawe> They reappeared in the same place?
[16:10] <mrkuchbhi> Fanshawe: yes
[16:11] <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
[16:12] <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?
[16:13] <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*
[21:18] <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
