[02:24] <bupertsphere> The left panel for Unity disappeared, how do I get it back?
[02:25] <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, ^^^
[02:33] <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
[02:35] <bupertsphere> I don't see the left panel on the top right
[02:36] <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
[02:37] <wilee-nilee> bupertsphere, Ah my mistake the left panel of unity, what version of ubuntu are you running
[02:37] <bupertsphere> 12.04
[02:38] <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
[02:39] <wilee-nilee> bupertsphere, You can reset unity with alt-f2 then type in unity --reset try that if the command opens
[02:44] <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?
[02:45] <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.
[02:46] <holstein> wilee-nilee: o/ likewise!
[02:46] <bupertsphere> I will be back
[02:47] <wilee-nilee> holstein, I switched to gnome 3 a while back so I'm a bit rusty on unity.
[02:48] <holstein> wilee-nilee: you like it?
[02:49] <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.
[02:50] <holstein> i dont use compiz anymore.. i let the cubes and fire go
[02:52] <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.
[02:53] <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.
[02:54] <holstein> i bought xp, whenever that was
[02:54] <holstein> i have that installed in virtualbox
[02:55] <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.
[02:56] <bupertsphere> Sorry I got side tracked with an un-realted keyboard problem
[02:56] <bupertsphere> It worked
[02:56] <bupertsphere> TY
[02:57] <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
[02:58] <wilee-nilee> cool
[02:58] <bupertsphere> I meant un-related
[02:58] <bupertsphere> TY guys
[02:58] <bupertsphere> I need to go
[08:51] <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
[08:52] <bupertsphere> And create launchers, as well as have more options in appearance and being used to the old setup
[08:53] <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?
[08:54] <wilee-nilee> bupertsphere, desktop launchers?
[08:54] <bupertsphere> Yes
[08:54] <bupertsphere> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1962862
[08:55] <bupertsphere> I don't know if the link will help me
[08:56] <wilee-nilee> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-desktop-launchers-in-ubuntu-11-10oneiric.html  says 11.10 but works in 12.04
[08:57] <wilee-nilee> part B in that link is the same as my link
[08:58] <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
[08:59] <wilee-nilee> some things need the browse to find the app some will launch with just the name of it.
[09:00] <bupertsphere> right, I think I know hwat you mean
[09:00] <bupertsphere> like boabao or however it's named
[09:01] <bupertsphere> after the African tree
[09:02] <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
[09:03] <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.
[09:04] <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
[09:05] <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
[09:10] <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?
[09:11] <bupertsphere> I wasn't paying close enough attention
[09:12] <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?
[09:13] <wilee-nilee> the super key brings up the dash search in the unity desktop.
[09:13] <wilee-nilee> keyboard keys
[09:13] <bupertsphere> cool
[09:14] <bupertsphere> installing
[09:15] <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?
[09:16] <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
[09:17] <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
[09:18] <wilee-nilee> synapse*
[09:18] <bupertsphere> What are you saying with you last reply?
[09:19] <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
[09:20] <wilee-nilee> the search gui has a prefrences as well in the top right corner
[09:21] <bupertsphere> I see, neat
[09:21] <bupertsphere> it has pastebin
[09:22] <bupertsphere> or something like that
[09:26] <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
[09:28] <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
[09:29] <bupertsphere> I try to keep it simple as well
[09:29] <Archaical> Greetings..... INFIDELS!!!!
[09:30] <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
[09:31] <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
[09:32] <Archaical> nn bupertsphere.
[09:32] <bupertsphere> bye :) /
[09:33] <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?
[09:34] <wilee-nilee> Archaical, This channel is really quiet you might try the main channel or ##linux
[09:35] <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
[09:36] <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....
[09:38] <wilee-nilee> hehe my family is really small and we all avoid each other, we could not be more different then each other.
[09:43] <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
[11:07] <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.
[11:37] <shirish> hi guys
[11:38] <shirish> i have a question if someone can answer.. i upgraded my ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 now when i boot ..it boots to tty login screen then to the desktop
[11:39] <shirish> is there any way to boot directly to desktop
[11:39] <shirish> that behaviour was not there in 12.04
[12:51] <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.
[12:53] <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
[12:57] <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
[13:06] <Mailman> I'm sorry, what's the full second command?
[13:08] <blazemore> sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-quantal
[13:08] <blazemore> possible
[13:09] <Mailman> E: Unable to locate package linux-backports-modules-quantal
[13:34] <philinux> there are no backports modules in quantal
[13:35] <Mailman> Clearly.
[13:36] <Mailman> Thus my problem stands.
[13:36] <philinux> Mailman: what i meant was there used to be a few in older releases
[13:37] <Mailman> Okay.
[13:37] <Mailman> I'm still left without a solution.
[13:38] <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.
[13:39] <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.
[13:40] <philinux> Mailman: also raise a thread in here http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=331
[13:41] <philinux> I have an Acer 1410 - nice machines
[13:42] <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
[13:43] <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.
[13:44] <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.
[13:45] <philinux> Mailman: really, shutdown here is a few seconds
[13:45] <Mailman> It's the startup that takes a while. Not sure why.
[13:46] <philinux> Mailman: edit the grub line and remove quiet splash, for one boot only, see where it hangs in the boot process
[13:47] <philinux> how long boot are we talking, mine takes about 35 secs
[13:47] <Mailman> Eh, mine's only a little longer than that.
[13:48] <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
[13:49] <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.
[13:50] <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
[13:52] <philinux> accessibility stuff too
[13:52] <philinux> onboard and orca for instance
[13:55] <Mailman> I just checked System Settings > Autostart and there doesn't seem to b much of anything there.
[13:55] <philinux> Hang on
[13:57] <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.
[13:58] <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
[13:59] <Mailman> I also asked in #ubuntu, but to no avail.
[14:00] <Mailman> I changed the lid close action to turn the screen off instead of sleeping, so I should be okay for now.
