| snapshots | hello world | 06:47 |
|---|---|---|
| snapshots | have a question | 06:47 |
| snapshots | anyone? | 06:48 |
| mysteriousdarren | snapshots: go ahead | 06:52 |
| snapshots | its on my unity | 06:56 |
| snapshots | on 12.04 | 06:56 |
| snapshots | its on 2D only.. how can i make it to "My Unity 3D"? | 06:56 |
| mysteriousdarren | doe s your monitor support 3d? | 06:59 |
| mysteriousdarren | snapshots: I just log out of my current user and log in with another desktop environment. Do you have a password enabled? | 07:02 |
| snapshots | password enabled? | 07:06 |
| snapshots | how can i send a pm on a user?? | 07:07 |
| jalcine | snapshots: do you have a password to your user? | 07:07 |
| jalcine | snapshots: and that would be /query <nick> <msg> | 07:07 |
| mysteriousdarren | jalcine: can you take over on this one? I just got a phone call. | 07:08 |
| mysteriousdarren | it might be awhile | 07:09 |
| jalcine | mysteriousdarren: I'll do what I can, was bugfixing, just stopped by to ask some questions | 07:09 |
| mysteriousdarren | snapshots: any other details would be great as well. | 07:10 |
| jalcine | snapshots: This is a referenical message to you. | 07:15 |
| jalcine | This isn't | 07:15 |
| jalcine | The previous message should have alerted your attention. | 07:15 |
| snapshots | yup got it jalcine | 07:17 |
| jalcine | :) | 07:17 |
| snapshots | does it turned into red? lol | 07:19 |
| jalcine | yessir | 07:19 |
| jalcine | snapshots: you might need to install properitary (non-free, blobby) drivers for your systems | 07:23 |
| jalcine | What computer are you running Ubuntu on? | 07:23 |
| jalcine | Do you know what graphics card you're using? | 07:23 |
| snapshots | yup wait a minute | 07:24 |
| * jalcine notes that he's a KDE user and hasn't used GNOME/Unity since 2011. | 07:24 | |
| jalcine | early 2011 | 07:24 |
| mysteriousdarren | Jalcine: I prefer lubuntu, speed above all else....well not all else | 07:25 |
| jalcine | mysteriousdarren: I did try that out the other day, was quite nice. | 07:25 |
| mysteriousdarren | jalcine: what are you fixing on? | 07:25 |
| jalcine | But the super configurable nature of KDE lured me back. | 07:25 |
| jalcine | Well, it's more of a building up | 07:25 |
| jalcine | https://github.com/jalcine/kio-googledrive | 07:26 |
| mysteriousdarren | I don't like the look, and hate the bloat. | 07:26 |
| jalcine | Trying to integrate Google Drive to KIO so I can browse my files in Dolphin. | 07:26 |
| jalcine | It does come with a whole bunch of unnecessary apps, true. But I typically uninstall few like Dragon Player and replace it with VLC | 07:27 |
| jalcine | Anyways | 07:27 |
| jalcine | mysteriousdarren; snapshots seems to have an issue enabling 3D mode in Unity on Ubuntu Precise | 07:27 |
| mysteriousdarren | still too much bloat for me, i want a base install where its fast, and i can install and run with it | 07:27 |
| jalcine | sounds like lubuntu to me :) | 07:28 |
| jalcine | openbox + kde is a breeze though | 07:28 |
| snapshots | jalcine: i have checked for install properitary drivers but nothing comes up | 07:28 |
| mysteriousdarren | compiz running? | 07:29 |
| jalcine | snapshots: try opening Jockey | 07:29 |
| jalcine | snapshots: ^^ | 07:29 |
| snapshots | mysteriousdarren: can i use lubuntu? | 07:29 |
| snapshots | jalcine: jockey? | 07:29 |
| snapshots | jalcine: where can i find it? | 07:29 |
| jalcine | I'm sorry. Jockey's an application that checks and helps install propieratory drivers. | 07:29 |
| mysteriousdarren | snapshots: yes just go into synaptic package manager and install | 07:29 |
| jalcine | I thought Jockey came with Ubuntu, was it removed? | 07:30 |
| jalcine | !jockey | 07:30 |
| ubot2 | Factoid 'jockey' not found | 07:30 |
| mysteriousdarren | snapshots: lubuntu that is | 07:30 |
| jalcine | haha | 07:30 |
| jalcine | !drivers | 07:30 |
| ubot2 | Factoid 'drivers' not found | 07:30 |
| jalcine | !compiz | 07:30 |
| ubot2 | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 07:30 |
| jalcine | !unity | 07:30 |
| ubot2 | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 07:30 |
| mysteriousdarren | jalcine: im trying to figure out your question | 07:30 |
| jalcine | snapshots: by opening Dash, you can search for Jockey by typing it in. | 07:31 |
| jalcine | If you can't find it, open Software Center and search there. | 07:31 |
| snapshots | ok copy sir | 07:31 |
| jalcine | I can't remeber the format for apt-urls, those were so handy. | 07:32 |
| jalcine | apt://jockey ? | 07:32 |
| geirha | You'll also find it under the system settings. cogwheel in upper-right corner -> system settings -> additional drivers (or something like that) | 07:33 |
| mysteriousdarren | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey | 07:33 |
| snapshots | No proprietary drivers are in use on this system | 07:36 |
| mysteriousdarren | snapshots: have you tried logging out and going back in with the same user but different desktop environment? | 07:38 |
| snapshots | mysteriousdarre: not yet | 07:41 |
| snapshots | mysteriousdarren : can i pm you? | 07:41 |
| geirha | no proprietary drivers in use, and none available in the list? | 07:41 |
| snapshots | yup none available on the list | 07:41 |
| mysteriousdarren | yes, but we can answer the question better with our collective minds. | 07:42 |
| geirha | Then you probably have neither nvidia or amd card, or you have an old and no-longer supported nvidia/amd card | 07:42 |
| snapshots | i think so | 07:42 |
| mysteriousdarren | snapshots: can you open up your package manager and install another desktop environment. I believe you only have one installed. | 07:43 |
| jalcine | If anything, snapshots, try clicking this link: apt://lubuntu-desktop | 07:45 |
| jalcine | If that doesn't work or doesn't show anything, trying opening up the Ubuntu Software Center again by using your Dash | 07:47 |
| snapshots_ | jalcine : sir | 09:44 |
| snapshots_ | anyone there to help me? | 09:55 |
| eskimio | I have two questions... First: I just downloaded and installed ubuntu last night. Can someone/some people pooint me in the right direction regarding linux/ubuntu usage for beginners? Websites to check out, blogs to follow, applications to download, etc? Second: Why isn't pidgin showing up in my dock/application bar even though I'm currently using it? | 13:43 |
