[06:47] <snapshots>  hello world
[06:47] <snapshots> have a question
[06:48] <snapshots> anyone?
[06:52] <mysteriousdarren> snapshots: go ahead
[06:56] <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"?
[06:59] <mysteriousdarren> doe s your monitor support 3d?
[07:02] <mysteriousdarren> snapshots: I just log out of my current user and log in with another desktop environment. Do you have a password enabled?
[07:06] <snapshots> password enabled?
[07:07] <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>
[07:08] <mysteriousdarren> jalcine: can you take over on this one? I just got a phone call.
[07:09] <mysteriousdarren> it might be awhile
[07:09] <jalcine> mysteriousdarren: I'll do what I can, was bugfixing, just stopped by to ask some questions
[07:10] <mysteriousdarren> snapshots: any other details would be great as well.
[07:15] <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.
[07:17] <snapshots> yup got it jalcine
[07:17] <jalcine> :)
[07:19] <snapshots> does it turned into red? lol
[07:19] <jalcine> yessir
[07:23] <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?
[07:24] <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
[07:25] <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
[07:26] <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.
[07:27] <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
[07:28] <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
[07:29] <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
[07:30] <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
[07:31] <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
[07:32] <jalcine> I can't remeber the format for apt-urls, those were so handy.
[07:32] <jalcine> apt://jockey ?
[07:33] <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
[07:36] <snapshots> No proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[07:38] <mysteriousdarren> snapshots: have you tried logging out and going back in with the same user but different desktop environment?
[07:41] <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
[07:42] <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
[07:43] <mysteriousdarren> snapshots: can you open up your package manager and install another desktop environment. I believe you only have one installed.
[07:45] <jalcine> If anything, snapshots, try clicking this link: apt://lubuntu-desktop
[07:47] <jalcine> If that doesn't work or doesn't show anything, trying opening up the Ubuntu Software Center again by using your Dash
[09:44] <snapshots_> jalcine : sir
[09:55] <snapshots_> anyone there to help me?
[13:43] <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?
[20:59] <Todd500> Is anyone here?
