[06:47] hello world [06:47] have a question [06:48] anyone? [06:52] snapshots: go ahead [06:56] its on my unity [06:56] on 12.04 [06:56] its on 2D only.. how can i make it to "My Unity 3D"? [06:59] doe s your monitor support 3d? [07:02] snapshots: I just log out of my current user and log in with another desktop environment. Do you have a password enabled? [07:06] password enabled? [07:07] how can i send a pm on a user?? [07:07] snapshots: do you have a password to your user? [07:07] snapshots: and that would be /query [07:08] jalcine: can you take over on this one? I just got a phone call. [07:09] it might be awhile [07:09] mysteriousdarren: I'll do what I can, was bugfixing, just stopped by to ask some questions [07:10] snapshots: any other details would be great as well. [07:15] snapshots: This is a referenical message to you. [07:15] This isn't [07:15] The previous message should have alerted your attention. [07:17] yup got it jalcine [07:17] :) [07:19] does it turned into red? lol [07:19] yessir [07:23] snapshots: you might need to install properitary (non-free, blobby) drivers for your systems [07:23] What computer are you running Ubuntu on? [07:23] Do you know what graphics card you're using? [07:24] yup wait a minute [07:24] * jalcine notes that he's a KDE user and hasn't used GNOME/Unity since 2011. [07:24] early 2011 [07:25] Jalcine: I prefer lubuntu, speed above all else....well not all else [07:25] mysteriousdarren: I did try that out the other day, was quite nice. [07:25] jalcine: what are you fixing on? [07:25] But the super configurable nature of KDE lured me back. [07:25] Well, it's more of a building up [07:26] https://github.com/jalcine/kio-googledrive [07:26] I don't like the look, and hate the bloat. [07:26] Trying to integrate Google Drive to KIO so I can browse my files in Dolphin. [07:27] 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] Anyways [07:27] mysteriousdarren; snapshots seems to have an issue enabling 3D mode in Unity on Ubuntu Precise [07:27] still too much bloat for me, i want a base install where its fast, and i can install and run with it [07:28] sounds like lubuntu to me :) [07:28] openbox + kde is a breeze though [07:28] jalcine: i have checked for install properitary drivers but nothing comes up [07:29] compiz running? [07:29] snapshots: try opening Jockey [07:29] snapshots: ^^ [07:29] mysteriousdarren: can i use lubuntu? [07:29] jalcine: jockey? [07:29] jalcine: where can i find it? [07:29] I'm sorry. Jockey's an application that checks and helps install propieratory drivers. [07:29] snapshots: yes just go into synaptic package manager and install [07:30] I thought Jockey came with Ubuntu, was it removed? [07:30] !jockey [07:30] Factoid 'jockey' not found [07:30] snapshots: lubuntu that is [07:30] haha [07:30] !drivers [07:30] Factoid 'drivers' not found [07:30] !compiz [07:30] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [07:30] !unity [07:30] 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] jalcine: im trying to figure out your question [07:31] snapshots: by opening Dash, you can search for Jockey by typing it in. [07:31] If you can't find it, open Software Center and search there. [07:31] ok copy sir [07:32] I can't remeber the format for apt-urls, those were so handy. [07:32] apt://jockey ? [07:33] You'll also find it under the system settings. cogwheel in upper-right corner -> system settings -> additional drivers (or something like that) [07:33] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey [07:36] No proprietary drivers are in use on this system [07:38] snapshots: have you tried logging out and going back in with the same user but different desktop environment? [07:41] mysteriousdarre: not yet [07:41] mysteriousdarren : can i pm you? [07:41] no proprietary drivers in use, and none available in the list? [07:41] yup none available on the list [07:42] yes, but we can answer the question better with our collective minds. [07:42] Then you probably have neither nvidia or amd card, or you have an old and no-longer supported nvidia/amd card [07:42] i think so [07:43] snapshots: can you open up your package manager and install another desktop environment. I believe you only have one installed. [07:45] If anything, snapshots, try clicking this link: apt://lubuntu-desktop [07:47] If that doesn't work or doesn't show anything, trying opening up the Ubuntu Software Center again by using your Dash [09:44] jalcine : sir [09:55] anyone there to help me? [13:43] 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? === glebihan__ is now known as glebihan [20:59] Is anyone here?
