staticrat | now messing around on mint, trying to figure out how to remove the separator from the favorite menu | 10:11 |
Kilos | you want for mint. so linux drivers | 10:11 |
staticrat | yes | 10:11 |

Kilos | i didnt check if its for linux | 10:12 |
staticrat | i see it does have a download for ubuntu 10.10 | 10:12 |

Kilos | sjoe hang around. maybe one of the guys will have an idea | 10:18 |
* staticrat hanging around for ideas :) | 10:18 | |
Kilos | hehe | 10:18 |
staticrat | i feel dumb today | 10:19 |
Kilos | what maaz cant find for me i ask here for help | 10:19 |
Kilos | but | 10:19 |
Kilos | if the netbook thing works and only changes when you plugin the projector it might be some settings you gotta change | 10:20 |
staticrat | think so as well but did see that when I connect the projector I cant change the resolution | 10:21 |
staticrat | not that big of an issue, this is just for learning purposes. you know - knowing how to fix this for future reference | 10:22 |
Kilos | ah | 10:22 |
staticrat | first i need to get used to this workspace thing | 10:22 |
staticrat | :) | 10:23 |
magespawn | i think there is a setting under displays where you can specify two different resolutions one for each display | 10:23 |
Kilos | look here and see what they say | 10:23 |
Kilos | http://community.linuxmint.com/hardware/view/1158 | 10:24 |
superfly | staticrat: which graphics card? | 10:24 |
staticrat | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 graphics | 10:27 |
superfly | staticrat: using the proprietary drivers, or the open source ones? | 10:28 |
staticrat | open source I think | 10:28 |
superfly | then just use the built-in screen tool to set up your resolutions | 10:29 |
superfly | I don't use Gnome, so I can't help you with anything Gnome specific, but I've done it tons before in KDE | 10:30 |
staticrat | i will give it another bash just now....will feedback results | 10:30 |
inetpro | Kilos: better 8ta speeds? Sounds nice. Let me know the results. | 10:31 |
Kilos | will do inetpro | 10:31 |
Kilos | waiting for friday to put new 2+1 in | 10:32 |
* staticrat is back | 11:29 | |
Kilos | fixed? | 11:30 |
staticrat | nope :( | 11:30 |
Kilos | ai | 11:30 |
staticrat | very weird to me | 11:30 |
staticrat | once projector is connected it displays the second workspace but no app is displayed when moving it towards the workspace | 11:31 |
staticrat | when I enable to mirror my display it then causes my notebook monitor to display at a lower resolution | 11:32 |
Kilos | did you install the ati driver? | 11:33 |
staticrat | i did but no luck with that as well | 11:33 |
Kilos | has mint got a goodie called additional drivers | 11:34 |
staticrat | not as far as I know | 11:34 |
Kilos | where do you plug the projector in? usb | 11:34 |
Kilos | i never seen that | 11:35 |
staticrat | no via VGA | 11:35 |
Kilos | ah | 11:35 |
staticrat | perhaps I should test with HDMI | 11:36 |
staticrat | no matter I will play around some more, whats happening here today? | 11:37 |
Kilos | everyone saltmining | 11:38 |
Kilos | except me | 11:38 |
staticrat | lol | 11:38 |
Kilos | someone will comeup with another suggestion some time | 11:39 |
Kilos | i know nothing about what you are doing | 11:40 |
magespawn | i am not sure where it is under unity, but under monitors somewhere allows you to cahnge the settings | 11:40 |
Kilos | he is on mint magespawn | 11:40 |
Kilos | hiya | 11:40 |
staticrat | menu > control centre > monitors | 11:40 |
staticrat | and the guys at #linuxmint-chat is not as friendly as you peeps are | 11:41 |
staticrat | did not even get a response :( | 11:41 |
Kilos | no other channel matches with #ubuntu-za | 11:41 |
staticrat | perhaps i should reload my pc and try ubuntu | 11:42 |
Kilos | lol | 11:43 |
Kilos | its different now to when you tried | 11:43 |
staticrat | LOL - using mint but looking towards ubuntu users for support | 11:43 |
Kilos | have you looked at kubuntu | 11:43 |
staticrat | think i ran a liveCD some time ago | 11:43 |
Kilos | the guys here help any linux person | 11:44 |
Kilos | with kde you have 2 experts here | 11:44 |
Kilos | the fly and pro | 11:44 |
staticrat | they are? | 11:44 |
Kilos | they live on kubuntu | 11:44 |
Kilos | superfly, and inetpro | 11:44 |
staticrat | nd u? | 11:45 |
Kilos | i have it on another drive but im learning too | 11:45 |
staticrat | you using gnome? | 11:45 |
Kilos | actually quite lekker when you get to understand it a bit | 11:46 |
Kilos | im on unity | 11:46 |
Kilos | ubuntu 12.04 | 11:46 |
Kilos | LTS | 11:46 |
Kilos | ubuntu has moved from gnome to unity | 11:46 |
staticrat | well i am not mr current affairs so when was this move? last ubuntu i used still ran on gnome | 11:47 |
Kilos | 18 months ago or so | 11:47 |
Kilos | since 11.04 | 11:47 |
Kilos | i think | 11:47 |
staticrat | ah | 11:48 |
inetpro | staticrat: so you have two VGA outputs? | 11:48 |
Kilos | but even unity you can get used to | 11:48 |
Kilos | there the pro | 11:48 |
inetpro | eh | 11:48 |
staticrat | no just one inetpro | 11:49 |
inetpro | ahh, you wanted output on the laptop as well as on the big screen? | 11:49 |
Kilos | a netbook is a lappy thing hey? | 11:49 |
inetpro | many times it also depends on the projector | 11:49 |
staticrat | no I would just like to change the display settings on my notebook monitor when the projector is connected. Who uses 800x600 today | 11:51 |
superfly | staticrat: most projectors are way behind screens | 11:52 |
inetpro | projectors come with different resolutions | 11:52 |
superfly | they've only *just* started bringing out widescreen projectors | 11:52 |
staticrat | and I got one of those, actually pretty cool. EPSON EB-95 | 11:53 |
inetpro | Kilos: a netbook is smaller than a laptop | 11:53 |
staticrat | who invented a netbook? | 11:53 |
* staticrat giving a opinion | 11:54 | |
* inetpro loves the netbook | 11:54 | |
superfly | staticrat: so is your notebook's screen becoming 800x600 ? | 11:54 |
inetpro | baught one for my wife some time ago and she's still using it | 11:54 |
superfly | *bought | 11:55 |
inetpro | IIRC it was even two years ago | 11:55 |
staticrat | inetpro: tablet or netbook | 11:55 |
inetpro | superfly: correct, thanks :-) | 11:55 |
inetpro | staticrat: netbook | 11:55 |
staticrat | superfly: yes it does | 11:55 |
inetpro | one of those R1999 Acer specials | 11:55 |
staticrat | I remember those did they not come pre-installed with some linux distro | 11:56 |
inetpro | staticrat: not sure what it was, first thing I did was to install Kubuntu | 11:57 |
staticrat | lol | 11:57 |
inetpro | she's now running on Unity but still prefers KDE | 11:57 |
* inetpro should change that at some point | 11:57 | |
staticrat | ubuntu or kubuntu /me looking at downloading one of the two | 11:58 |
Kilos | they both say kubuntu | 11:59 |
staticrat | i like mint but have to be honest. There too much of a 'microsoft' feel to it | 11:59 |
Kilos | if you got fast uncapped internet get both | 12:00 |
Kilos | then you can see what you prefer | 12:00 |
superfly | staticrat: so just go to system settings -> monitors and resolutions and check that your screen resolution is correct | 12:00 |
staticrat | im in limpopo? they steal the lines faster than you can download | 12:00 |
Kilos | lol like here. 3g is costly though | 12:00 |
staticrat | superfly: I did but once the projector is connected I cannot change the screen resolution | 12:01 |
superfly | xrandr | 12:01 |
* staticrat thinks he need to re-establish what he know about linux | 12:01 | |
Kilos | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr | 12:04 |
Kilos | see what they say | 12:04 |
Kilos | only one i saw | 12:04 |
staticrat | thx | 12:04 |
Kilos | superfly, you will need to help him nearly like me | 12:04 |
Kilos | oh staticrat have you upgraded | 12:05 |
staticrat | upgraded? | 12:05 |
Kilos | you know how to use a terminal? | 12:06 |
Kilos | where you type in commands | 12:06 |
staticrat | yes I am familiar with using the terminal | 12:06 |
staticrat | lol | 12:06 |
Kilos | sudo apt-get update | 12:06 |
Kilos | then sudo apt-get upgrade | 12:07 |
Kilos | then watch data run | 12:07 |
Kilos | does mint use apt-get and aptitude? | 12:08 |
staticrat | apt-get | 12:08 |
Kilos | ok check for update/upgrades | 12:08 |
staticrat | some index files failed to download | 12:08 |
staticrat | after running sudo apt-get update | 12:09 |
Kilos | some or did it get some? | 12:09 |
staticrat | they have been ignored or old ones used instead | 12:09 |
Kilos | Squirm, ping | 12:09 |
Kilos | ok | 12:09 |
Kilos | you have an update manager | 12:09 |
Kilos | do you see it in system | 12:10 |
staticrat | yeah but it says the same message. started this morning but just didnt have time to look into it. | 12:10 |
Kilos | system admin | 12:10 |
Kilos | normally thats internet connection or your repo is down | 12:11 |
staticrat | the sudo apt-get upgrade finished | 12:11 |
Kilos | what did it get? | 12:12 |
Kilos | too fast to see? | 12:12 |
staticrat | lol | 12:12 |
staticrat | yeah | 12:12 |
Kilos | hehe | 12:12 |
staticrat | was about to say loads of things moving fast | 12:12 |
Kilos | did it say how much was downloaded | 12:12 |
Kilos | should say fetched xx meg in so much time | 12:13 |
staticrat | might have ... I closed the window before reading the results... | 12:13 |
Kilos | ai | 12:13 |
staticrat | i know | 12:13 |
Kilos | how fast is your internet there | 12:14 |
Kilos | normally the diffs between a clean install and the first upgrade is 100's of megs | 12:14 |
staticrat | well I have 4MB UC/US line | 12:14 |
Kilos | it didnt want to reboot to complete the upgrade? | 12:15 |
staticrat | well i did that yesterday via the update manager and it downloaded about 250MB | 12:15 |
Kilos | ah | 12:15 |
staticrat | no | 12:15 |
staticrat | but there is a few things that annoys me with mint (or it could be the user) | 12:16 |
Kilos | superfly, inetpro advice on whether to get kde or unity and what release | 12:17 |
Kilos | our mint user isnt talking | 12:17 |
staticrat | the 'hot corner" to which between workspaces doesnt work | 12:18 |
staticrat | *switch | 12:18 |
Kilos | ive never seen mint staticrat so im lost there | 12:19 |
* staticrat downloading ubuntu 12.04.1 desktop 32bit | 12:19 | |
Kilos | ok thats what i got | 12:19 |
Kilos | but i need help too | 12:20 |
staticrat | kilos: me either that why i installed to see how mint works. | 12:20 |
Kilos | so bare with me | 12:20 |
Kilos | lol | 12:20 |
inetpro | staticrat: your best option is to try things for yourself | 12:20 |
* inetpro prefers Kubuntu | 12:20 | |
staticrat | inetpro: exactly :) | 12:20 |
inetpro | I have never used Mint but know some people who like it | 12:20 |
magespawn | inetpro i have found that Kubuntu is the biggest learning curve coming from the other os | 12:21 |
inetpro | but as far as I am aware even with Mint you have the option to run your choice of window manager | 12:21 |
staticrat | well I used to run ubuntu and fedora | 12:22 |
inetpro | magespawn: that is probably because Unity is scaled down | 12:22 |
inetpro | magespawn: they leave the average user with little choice | 12:22 |
inetpro | you can't customise as many things as with KDE | 12:22 |
Kilos | unity isnt bad staticrat | 12:23 |
magespawn | kde give TONS of choice | 12:23 |
* inetpro loves choice | 12:23 | |
Kilos | lol | 12:23 |
staticrat | kilos: we will soon find out - the next time we chat I will be running ubuntu :) | 12:23 |
Kilos | kde doesnt bloep | 12:23 |
* inetpro hates having to sit in one corner all day | 12:24 | |
Kilos | staticrat, how do you get here | 12:24 |
staticrat | pidgin | 12:25 |

Kilos | nope you type in sudo apt-get install xchat | 12:27 |
staticrat | thx | 12:27 |

Kilos | who remembers where the link is to the unity guide | 12:30 |
Kilos | http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/UserGuide.html | 12:31 |
Kilos | methinks | 12:31 |
superfly | Kilos: no, that's to Unity3D, a game engine | 12:33 |
magespawn | isn't mint based on ubuntu? | 12:38 |
Kilos | ai | 12:39 |
Kilos | what ever happened to sflr | 12:42 |

magespawn | apparently i am resistance | 12:57 |
superfly | magespawn: really? | 12:58 |
superfly | (not for resistance, but for no invite) | 12:58 |
magespawn | yes or at least i did not see one | 12:59 |
superfly | magespawn: submit portals all over hluhluwe, and then go capture them when they are approved :-) | 12:59 |
magespawn | still going through the training | 13:00 |
* staticrat is back | 13:09 | |
staticrat | man have there been changes in ubuntu or what | 13:10 |

staticrat | well i do like the look | 13:14 |
staticrat | now let the exploring begin | 13:14 |
Kilos | lol wb staticrat | 13:15 |
staticrat | thx kilos | 13:15 |
Kilos | i think this gives you a book | 13:15 |
Kilos | http://ubuntu-za.org/sites/default/files/unity-5-10-0-final-pdf.pdf | 13:15 |
Kilos | the bar on the left is your launcher | 13:16 |
staticrat | sweet | 13:16 |
Kilos | top is the dash | 13:16 |
staticrat | ok | 13:16 |
Kilos | in dash you type ter and get a terminal | 13:16 |
Kilos | or ctrl + alt + t | 13:16 |
staticrat | cool was looking for terminal as soon as i logged in | 13:17 |
Kilos | hehe | 13:17 |
Kilos | i struggled in the beginning | 13:17 |
Kilos | have you updated/upgraded? | 13:18 |
staticrat | yeah done that | 13:18 |
staticrat | got xchat | 13:18 |
Kilos | try this one too | 13:18 |
staticrat | run update and still busy with upgarde | 13:18 |
Kilos | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 13:18 |
staticrat | *upgrade | 13:18 |
Kilos | ah | 13:18 |
* staticrat will not close the window after upgrade. | 13:19 | |
Kilos | my one didnt do a full upgrade till i did dist-upgrade | 13:19 |
Kilos | at the bottom of the launcher you have workspace switcher | 13:19 |
Kilos | i use one for xchat | 13:20 |
Kilos | you can open more terminals | 13:20 |
staticrat | well this workspaces works for me :) | 13:21 |
Kilos | also in launcher there is a terminal icon which will open the terminal you are using on the workspace you are on | 13:21 |
Kilos | i use 10 | 13:21 |
staticrat | do you place the terminal in the launcher or is it there by default | 13:23 |
Kilos | it is there | 13:23 |
Kilos | black square | 13:23 |
Kilos | maybe far down | 13:23 |
Kilos | i remove all the libre office stuff | 13:23 |
Kilos | right click remove from panel/launcher or something | 13:24 |
Kilos | every new app you have running will show there | 13:24 |
Kilos | and flash when somethiong happens | 13:25 |
staticrat | cool | 13:25 |
Kilos | or as with xchat put the number of messages you have received | 13:25 |
staticrat | what mail client do you use? | 13:25 |
Kilos | i use evolution | 13:25 |
Kilos | dont like thunderbird | 13:26 |
staticrat | ok, good support for exchange? | 13:26 |
superfly | magespawn: ingress.com/intel | 13:26 |
Kilos | whats exchange? | 13:26 |
magespawn | superfly my screen keeps going black maybe a bug, shows the scanner but nothing else | 13:27 |
staticrat | I am a windows user. That is where my money comes from, thanks to Bill Gates I have a job | 13:27 |
staticrat | Microsoft Exchange Server | 13:27 |
Kilos | lol | 13:27 |
Kilos | shame | 13:27 |
Kilos | try evolution if it dont work then we find something else | 13:28 |
staticrat | yip the way I see it is that MS created a "dodgy OS" and there needs to be someone to solve the problems | 13:28 |
staticrat | or try | 13:28 |
Kilos | i dont know about that stuff but evolution works with gmail hotmail yahoo etc | 13:29 |
Kilos | so who knows if it works with microstinks | 13:29 |
Kilos | also evo can make its own backup folder for future installs | 13:30 |
staticrat | I will find out for you and let you know. I still need to support MS systems | 13:30 |
Kilos | you can still | 13:30 |
Kilos | lost of the guys here work on ms pcs as well | 13:30 |
Kilos | have no choice | 13:30 |
staticrat | well like a famous man once said: I like choice | 13:31 |
Kilos | but ms help needs to be discussed on another channel as its kinda off topic here | 13:31 |
Kilos | lol | 13:31 |
staticrat | not going to ask MS help here | 13:31 |
staticrat | but I am going to annoy you all with ubuntu help | 13:32 |
Kilos | for other os help you can ask on my channel | 13:32 |

Kilos | daar is ook die stad se biblioteke | 16:57 |
inetpro | nou is daar net sommige mense wat weet hoe om die inligting op die netwerke te vind | 16:58 |
inetpro | ander betaal daarvoor | 16:58 |
inetpro | en die res het niks | 16:58 |
inetpro | eintlik die meerderheid het nie 'n benul nie | 16:58 |
Kilos | ja | 16:58 |
Kilos | ek gaan eet gou | 16:58 |

inetpro | Lionthinker: looks like you have some frustrations to get rid of? | 17:00 |

inetpro | Kilos: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-za | 17:21 |
Kilos | yes but unity gives you the choice of additional drivers | 17:21 |
inetpro | Kilos: it's linked above | 17:21 |
staticrat_m | I saw | 17:22 |
staticrat_m | Made it rather easy | 17:22 |
Kilos | yeah it does when its automatic hey | 17:22 |
inetpro | staticrat_m: welcome back | 17:22 |
staticrat_m | Ubuntu 1 mint 0 lol | 17:22 |
staticrat_m | Ty inetpro | 17:22 |
Kilos | you most likely will need to reinstall everytime they do big upgrades | 17:23 |
Kilos | kernel upgrades i think | 17:23 |
inetpro | Kilos: why? | 17:23 |
Kilos | well inetpro | 17:23 |
staticrat_m | Yeah why | 17:23 |
staticrat_m | But then again there is a backup utility | 17:24 |
Kilos | here by me everytime something updates i go back to that 800x640 screen resolution | 17:24 |
inetpro | reinstalls are very rarely necessary | 17:24 |
inetpro | Kilos: then you are doing something wrong | 17:24 |
Kilos | tell my unity that inetpro | 17:24 |
Kilos | lol | 17:24 |
Kilos | ya upgrading | 17:24 |
inetpro | ai! | 17:24 |
Kilos | oh ya staticrat_m that deja-dup backup works well | 17:25 |
staticrat_m | Yeah i shall test it tomorrow | 17:25 |
Kilos | but if your graphics driver goe swith upgrading you just type additional drivers in dash and it goes to the job again | 17:26 |
Kilos | i used it from 10.10 to get 10 workspaces here | 17:26 |
