| bupertsphere | The left panel for Unity disappeared, how do I get it back? | 02:24 |
|---|---|---|
| wilee-nilee | I believe it is in the top panel I'm in widows right now, or a drag from the edge. | 02:25 |
| wilee-nilee | windows* | 02:25 |
| wilee-nilee | bupertsphere, ^^^ | 02:25 |
| bupertsphere | I am talking about the panel thingy on the left that I don't know the name for | 02:33 |
| bupertsphere | I don't it anywhere | 02:33 |
| bupertsphere | I don't see the left panel on the top right | 02:35 |
| wilee-nilee | bupertsphere, nautilus has changed in 12.10, not sure what version you are running but this link might help. http://askubuntu.com/questions/139058/nautilus-does-not-show-the-left-bar-how-do-i-turn-it-back-on | 02:36 |
| wilee-nilee | bupertsphere, Ah my mistake the left panel of unity, what version of ubuntu are you running | 02:37 |
| bupertsphere | 12.04 | 02:37 |
| wilee-nilee | bupertsphere, Have you added graphic drivers or messed arpound in compiz? | 02:38 |
| wilee-nilee | around* | 02:38 |
| bupertsphere | I don't think so | 02:38 |
| wilee-nilee | bupertsphere, You can reset unity with alt-f2 then type in unity --reset try that if the command opens | 02:39 |
| bupertsphere | What if I just try restarting. I tried alt-F2 and nothing happened for me | 02:44 |
| holstein | bupertsphere: when you hit "alt F2", nothing pops up? | 02:44 |
| wilee-nilee | bupertsphere, I would reboot to confirm this yeah, unity sometimes has needed a adjustment in the right click menu backgrounds second tab for pressure on the left side as well. | 02:45 |
| bupertsphere | when I hold down alt the top panel gets hightlighted | 02:45 |
| wilee-nilee | holstein, Hey man good to see your help here. | 02:45 |
| holstein | wilee-nilee: o/ likewise! | 02:46 |
| bupertsphere | I will be back | 02:46 |
| wilee-nilee | holstein, I switched to gnome 3 a while back so I'm a bit rusty on unity. | 02:47 |
| holstein | wilee-nilee: you like it? | 02:48 |
| wilee-nilee | holstein, Yeah, either is quite usable it just seems easier to maintain as far as window focus, and i had a cube all setup and other tweaks and would loose the windows top panel at times, which a restart with the fusion icon fixed, but the window focus with all the tweaks was a little problematic. | 02:49 |
| holstein | i dont use compiz anymore.. i let the cubes and fire go | 02:50 |
| wilee-nilee | holstein, Yeah, it took me forever to figure that cube stuff and tweaking out so I used it for awhile, but gnome 3 I have gotten used to in the end, I'm on W7 right now I was using word to write some paper stuff. I bought the upgrade to W8 and it kept crashing so I stuck W7 back in. I rarely use windows except for word. | 02:52 |
| holstein | i dont use either unless i have to, or im fixing one... but i checked out the win8 developer preview | 02:53 |
| wilee-nilee | I used to help the dual booters on the forum thats why I got windows in the first place, it was a upgrade 25$ for W7 pro. | 02:53 |
| holstein | i bought xp, whenever that was | 02:54 |
| holstein | i have that installed in virtualbox | 02:54 |
| wilee-nilee | I actually started with ubuntu when I went back to college I had never even used windows, had I gotten windows I would probably be a user of the OS primarily, hehe glad I got to know open source first. | 02:55 |
| bupertsphere | Sorry I got side tracked with an un-realted keyboard problem | 02:56 |
| bupertsphere | It worked | 02:56 |
| bupertsphere | TY | 02:56 |
| bupertsphere | By the way I am on my brother's computer setting up Ubuntu 12.04, this is r4y | 02:57 |
| bupertsphere | The left panel came back after restarting | 02:57 |
| wilee-nilee | cool | 02:58 |
| bupertsphere | I meant un-related | 02:58 |
| bupertsphere | TY guys | 02:58 |
| bupertsphere | I need to go | 02:58 |

| bupertsphere | I didn't switch to Unity because I felt trapped a little, but I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my brother's computer. I liked being able to drag and drop icons for programs to the desktop and top and bottom panels when using Ubuntu 10.04 and I don't want to force my brother to switch to the older gui with Ubuntu 12.04, but I guess he could if he wanted which I didn't think of until just now | 08:51 |
| bupertsphere | I forgot | 08:51 |
| bupertsphere | And create launchers, as well as have more options in appearance and being used to the old setup | 08:52 |
| bupertsphere | It's not like I know if or if not Unity can do these things. | 08:53 |
| bupertsphere | I am guessing it does | 08:53 |
| bupertsphere | How? | 08:53 |
| wilee-nilee | bupertsphere, desktop launchers? | 08:54 |
| bupertsphere | Yes | 08:54 |
| bupertsphere | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1962862 | 08:54 |
| bupertsphere | I don't know if the link will help me | 08:55 |
| wilee-nilee | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-desktop-launchers-in-ubuntu-11-10oneiric.html says 11.10 but works in 12.04 | 08:56 |
| wilee-nilee | part B in that link is the same as my link | 08:57 |
| bupertsphere | Ah, I see | 08:58 |
| wilee-nilee | the icon may appear but if you click on the icon in the launcher setup gui it takes you to pixmaps where there are launcher icons | 08:58 |
| wilee-nilee | some things need the browse to find the app some will launch with just the name of it. | 08:59 |
| bupertsphere | right, I think I know hwat you mean | 09:00 |
| bupertsphere | like boabao or however it's named | 09:00 |
| bupertsphere | after the African tree | 09:01 |
| bupertsphere | I believe I am talking about the disk usage analyzer | 09:02 |
| bupertsphere | which has a different name like you are saying | 09:02 |
| bupertsphere | Find out by dropping an icon into the terminal | 09:02 |
| bupertsphere | If not then open alacarte which I am not sure Unity uses | 09:03 |
| wilee-nilee | Hehe I'm in windows right now I forget the areas apps are it has been a long day my brain is dead. | 09:03 |
| bupertsphere | It doesn't matter, I hear you | 09:04 |
| bupertsphere | I am brain dead most of the time anyways and improvise as I go | 09:04 |
| bupertsphere | he he he | 09:04 |
| bupertsphere | You seem to be doing well regardless | 09:05 |
| bupertsphere | I made a text file on a flash drive for the link for me to help my brother out | 09:05 |
| bupertsphere | I thought that the guide was also showing how to make a launch for making a launcher, how could the command be changed to work as a launched command for a launcher? | 09:10 |
| bupertsphere | I wasn't paying close enough attention | 09:11 |
| wilee-nilee | I use a app called synapse which brings up a gui for finding apps by hitting the ctrl-space keys | 09:12 |
| bupertsphere | keys? | 09:12 |
| wilee-nilee | the super key brings up the dash search in the unity desktop. | 09:13 |
| wilee-nilee | keyboard keys | 09:13 |
| bupertsphere | cool | 09:13 |
| bupertsphere | installing | 09:14 |
| bupertsphere | OK, now what | 09:15 |
| wilee-nilee | if you are installing synapse it has a drop down of a list of what is found with a cople letters hit with the down arrow key | 09:15 |
| wilee-nilee | synapse? | 09:15 |
| wilee-nilee | hit the ctrl then space key after to enable it the first time from the dash or menu if you are in 10.04 | 09:16 |
| bupertsphere | I am running 12 | 09:17 |
| bupertsphere | which worked | 09:17 |
| wilee-nilee | hit the super key the type syanapse and load it after that just hit the ctrl-space with ctrl held down | 09:17 |
| wilee-nilee | synapse* | 09:18 |
| bupertsphere | What are you saying with you last reply? | 09:18 |
| bupertsphere | I mean synapse* | 09:19 |
| wilee-nilee | did you get synapse to launch with the key presses? | 09:19 |
| bupertsphere | yes | 09:19 |
| bupertsphere | it popped up on the left as well before that and I clicked on it | 09:19 |
| wilee-nilee | cool, synapse just needs to be launched from the menu the first time usually | 09:19 |
| wilee-nilee | the search gui has a prefrences as well in the top right corner | 09:20 |
| bupertsphere | I see, neat | 09:21 |
| bupertsphere | it has pastebin | 09:21 |
| bupertsphere | or something like that | 09:22 |
| bupertsphere | The launcher works, I couldn't find the icon I wanted for the game I was trying to put on his desktop for kollision | 09:26 |
| wilee-nilee | I like synapse or I have a dock on the bottom as well, but I use gnome 3 not unity, I like the desktop basically clear of launchers personally | 09:28 |
| bupertsphere | I try to keep it simple as well | 09:29 |
| Archaical | Greetings..... INFIDELS!!!! | 09:29 |
| wilee-nilee | I'm doing graduate work so mainly I have some quick access files with info for writing the papers, usually kit is completely clean. | 09:30 |
| wilee-nilee | it* | 09:30 |
| bupertsphere | I have system monitor, kollision, lock screen, the terminal, and something else on the top panel, then on the desktop I have some folders and an icon to the atri800 emulator | 09:30 |
| Archaical | ulghh... graduate work... (pukes from shear memories alone) | 09:31 |
| wilee-nilee | its not fun all the time that is for sure. ;) | 09:31 |
| Archaical | I keep a retardidly clean kit myself. | 09:31 |
| bupertsphere | I need to go, thank you very much for the help | 09:31 |
| wilee-nilee | no problem | 09:31 |
| Archaical | nn bupertsphere. | 09:32 |
| bupertsphere | bye :) / | 09:32 |
| Archaical | for the life of me i can't recall how to force bad names when samba users log in with Capital names in an PDC environment... anyone give me a hint? | 09:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Archaical, This channel is really quiet you might try the main channel or ##linux | 09:34 |
| Archaical | its ok im in no rush, still tinkering with a few settings in /etc/adduser.conf | 09:35 |
| wilee-nilee | cool | 09:35 |
| Archaical | just thought someone might have a hint =P | 09:35 |
| wilee-nilee | I have never had to use samba myself | 09:35 |
| Archaical | I have a pretty complex home environment and if i had to manually create shares based on which family member was over visiting and wanted access to say the family picture archive i'd go nuts. | 09:36 |
| Archaical | but i had to write a script that symlinked lowercase to uppercase to get around how to do it "the right way" and now im going back to do it the right way lol.... | 09:36 |
| wilee-nilee | hehe my family is really small and we all avoid each other, we could not be more different then each other. | 09:38 |
| Archaical | hehe, i wish my family avoided me.... i might actually get a bit of rest then.. Seems like i married and inherited a huge family of tech-handicapped persons who are now hell-bent on sucking the very life blood from my veins. I was already a bit obsessed with organizing my digital life and since my physical family has grown in the last 10 years it seems like my digital life has too | 09:43 |
| Archaical | . I was tasked a few years back with archiving the family pictures / videos / etc and so i do it here at my home on a few systems, so when family members come over they want to browse and what-not. creating permissions for everyone would have been easier i think but i've always been security minded and would rather require individual permissions based on criteria.... anyway enough | 09:43 |
| Archaical | of that.. =D | 09:43 |
| Ross-C | hi I don't know if anyone can help me I am reall struggling to get app_swift to install/compile with asterisk on my ubuntu server 12.04 / adhearsion dev box. If anyone can help me it will be much appreciated. | 11:07 |

| Mailman | I updated my graphics drivers yesterday to fix a screen brightness problem, but now my laptop won't wake from sleep. I'm on an Acer Aspire One running Kubuntu. | 12:51 |
| blazemore | Mailman: edit the file /etc/default/grub | 12:53 |
| blazemore | Edit the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT parameter to include pciehp.pciehp_force=1 | 12:53 |
| blazemore | Save the file | 12:53 |
| blazemore | Run update-grub2 | 12:53 |
| blazemore | Install a new linux-backports-modules-karmic package running the following command in terminal: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-karmic (You'll need to reboot after this is done.) | 12:53 |
| blazemore | Sorry s/karmic/quantal | 12:53 |
| Mailman | The GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT is currently set as "quiet splash". Do I append as "quiet splash pciehp.pciehp_force=1"? | 12:57 |
| blazemore | exactly that, yes | 12:57 |
| Mailman | I'm sorry, what's the full second command? | 13:06 |
| blazemore | sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-quantal | 13:08 |
| blazemore | possible | 13:08 |
| Mailman | E: Unable to locate package linux-backports-modules-quantal | 13:09 |
| philinux | there are no backports modules in quantal | 13:34 |
| Mailman | Clearly. | 13:35 |
| Mailman | Thus my problem stands. | 13:36 |
| philinux | Mailman: what i meant was there used to be a few in older releases | 13:36 |
| Mailman | Okay. | 13:37 |
| Mailman | I'm still left without a solution. | 13:37 |
| Mailman | Seems to be a running theme in my brief experience with Linux. | 13:38 |
| philinux | Mailman: i'd ask in #ubuntu there's more activity in there | 13:38 |
| Mailman | I did, they didn't respond. | 13:38 |
| Mailman | I'll ask again after lunch. | 13:39 |
| philinux | maybe the peeps in there at the time dont have an answer | 13:39 |
| Mailman | That's why I'm gonna wait. | 13:39 |
| philinux | Mailman: also raise a thread in here http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=331 | 13:40 |
| philinux | I have an Acer 1410 - nice machines | 13:41 |
| philinux | Mailman: although i never use suspend or hibernate | 13:42 |
| philinux | in fact I only have the suspend option in the drop down menu | 13:42 |
| Mailman | I like this one, it's compact and fits perfectly in my bag. Linux runs orders of magnitude more smoothly than Windows. I just keep running into problems like this. | 13:43 |
| Mailman | I sleep mine a lot because I don't use it in every class and can never seem to find an open outlet. | 13:43 |
| philinux | Ask in the forums. A few irons in the fire wont hurt | 13:44 |
| Mailman | And I usually sleep it at night instead of shutting down since it's faster. | 13:44 |
| philinux | Mailman: really, shutdown here is a few seconds | 13:45 |
| Mailman | It's the startup that takes a while. Not sure why. | 13:45 |
| philinux | Mailman: edit the grub line and remove quiet splash, for one boot only, see where it hangs in the boot process | 13:46 |
| philinux | how long boot are we talking, mine takes about 35 secs | 13:47 |
| Mailman | Eh, mine's only a little longer than that. | 13:47 |
| philinux | to login screen which i think is fine compared to windows | 13:48 |
| philinux | normal then | 13:48 |
| Mailman | If I hit enter right away at the grub screen. | 13:48 |
| philinux | sounds fine | 13:48 |
| philinux | these are not powerful machines | 13:48 |
| Mailman | like, 45-55ish seconds I think. Never really timed it. | 13:49 |
| philinux | Mailman: just time to make a brew ! | 13:49 |
| Mailman | I think it booted faster before I switched to Kubuntu. | 13:49 |
| Mailman | But it runs even smoother now. | 13:49 |
| Mailman | Ubuntu is prettier, though. | 13:50 |
| philinux | Mailman: have a look in the start up items and remove bluetooth and ubuntuone etc etc | 13:50 |
| philinux | quite a lot of stuff is started at boot thats not required | 13:50 |
| philinux | accessibility stuff too | 13:52 |
| philinux | onboard and orca for instance | 13:52 |
| Mailman | I just checked System Settings > Autostart and there doesn't seem to b much of anything there. | 13:55 |
| philinux | Hang on | 13:55 |
| philinux | help maybe arriving | 13:57 |
| philinux | Mailman: please restate your problem for BluesKaj - he uses kubuntu | 13:57 |
| BluesKaj | philinux, I have to leave for 20 mins or so , but I'll be back | 13:57 |
| Mailman | I updated my graphics drivers yesterday to fix a screen brightness problem, but now my laptop won't wake from sleep. I'm on an Acer Aspire One running Kubuntu. | 13:57 |
| philinux | ok BluesKaj | 13:58 |
| Mailman | I also have to leave for a bit. My breakfast has been water and troubleshooting. | 13:58 |
| BluesKaj | philinux, Mailman was already asking in #kubuntu , but I don't have an answer , sorry | 13:58 |
| Mailman | I also asked in #ubuntu, but to no avail. | 13:59 |
| Mailman | I changed the lid close action to turn the screen off instead of sleeping, so I should be okay for now. | 14:00 |
