| Haohmaru | grab that with a phone camera ;] | 00:00 |
| GridCube | send that to a gallery o: | 00:00 |
| GridCube | i mean in imgur | 00:00 |
| zequence | Haohmaru: More detail than the eye can see | 00:01 |
| Haohmaru | http://i.imgur.com/1XUkN.jpg | 00:01 |
| GridCube | nice, this is as good as mine gets, http://i.imgur.com/wZWFe3d.jpg | 00:02 |
| GridCube | no wait, thats from the canon camera XD | 00:03 |
| Haohmaru | nice cat ;P~ | 00:03 |
| Haohmaru | well, i don't think you can do even this with a phone camera: http://i.imgur.com/37URe.jpg | 00:03 |
| Haohmaru | so it's not worth paying for those 40MP on a phone camera, no matter what ;] | 00:04 |
| GridCube | here, this is a picture i took with my cellphone http://imagebin.org/247876 | 00:05 |
| GridCube | P: all that granularity | 00:05 |
| Haohmaru | thing is, the sensor is small | 00:06 |
| Haohmaru | you can't get bokeh | 00:06 |
| Haohmaru | not to mention you can't play with lenses ;] | 00:07 |

| SuperRoach | Good evening :) Good evening. I've just noticed my 12.10 ubuntustudio, apps has lost their menu with the min/close icons. http://i.imgur.com/SCFC43t.png What can I use to restore it? I'm using an Intel HD 4000, reboot doesn't solve it. Multiwindow seems disabled too. | 11:33 |
| zequence | SuperRoach: Metacity has crashed | 11:53 |
| zequence | Or, no | 11:53 |
| zequence | It's something else | 11:53 |
| zequence | It's the program that draws the window borders | 11:53 |
| zequence | SuperRoach: Do you have Desktop FX enabled? Try disbling them. | 11:54 |
| zequence | SuperRoach: And, is it like this every time you restart? | 11:54 |
| SuperRoach | zequence, yeah its every time I restart | 11:55 |
| SuperRoach | I'll have a look at disabling desktop fx | 11:55 |
| zequence | Metacity is what draws window borders to Gnome. FXCE has something else | 11:56 |
| zequence | And there's also Compiz somehow baked into all of that | 11:57 |
| zequence | If used.. | 11:57 |
| zequence | Compiz is often used for fancy FX | 11:58 |
| SuperRoach | apparantly I don't have compiz installed, nor metacity | 11:59 |
| SuperRoach | zequence, to make things tricky, if I look at settings ("customize your desktop"), clicking on "window manager" hangs instead of giving me a dialog | 12:02 |
| zequence | SuperRoach: Have you installed any graphic drivers lately? | 12:03 |
| SuperRoach | zequence, not that I'm aware of no. | 12:04 |
| SuperRoach | A stock 12.10 install was working ok. I think it may have been after a firefox update possibly. | 12:04 |
| SuperRoach | A bit annoying not being able to bring up the window manager to look further. | 12:04 |
| zequence | SuperRoach: Could be some user files that have gone bad | 12:05 |
| zequence | SuperRoach: No change in theming? | 12:06 |
| SuperRoach | zequence, fixed after more googling! :) | 12:07 |
| zequence | SuperRoach: Yeah? | 12:07 |
| SuperRoach | The problem was my "xfce session seems to have been corrupted" . I had to rm -r ~/.cache/sessions | 12:07 |
| SuperRoach | Ref: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1955078 | 12:08 |
| zequence | SuperRoach: Cool. I'll try to remember that next time someone has weird problems :) | 12:08 |
| SuperRoach | Was a bit of luck finding that one. I was looking at compiz and window manager as well. | 12:09 |
| zequence | SuperRoach: It might be a good idea to clean the home totally sometimes. At least cache and settings that one will not miss | 12:10 |
| zequence | Those will be autoreplaced with default settings | 12:10 |
| zequence | Well, at least if one is having problems | 12:10 |
| SuperRoach | Agreed. Might add it to bash lest I'll probably forget. | 12:11 |
| Patero-ng | what does wise up douche | 13:00 |
| Haohmaru | where should i be looking for to see what serial ports are available? | 13:36 |
| zequence | Haohmaru: usb, SATA and Firewire are all serial, but are you talking about the old classic style? | 13:51 |
| zequence | same size as VGA, but less pins | 13:51 |
| zequence | I think the last paralell port to vanish was IDE | 13:52 |
| Haohmaru | zequence, yeah, RS232 | 13:55 |
| Haohmaru | actually there's a device which connects to USB but acts as a serial port | 13:56 |
| Haohmaru | it uses the FTDI usb<->serial driver (which seems to be already part of ubuntu) | 13:56 |
| Haohmaru | so on windows - this driver creates a virtual serial port | 13:56 |
| zequence | Haohmaru: So, you want to see if the port is usable, or not? | 13:58 |
| zequence | Haohmaru: lsusb | 13:59 |
| zequence | Try that for usb devices | 13:59 |
| zequence | lspci for MB attached chips | 14:00 |
| zequence | Haohmaru: To see what they can do, do: lsusb --help, or to read the manual: man lsusb | 14:00 |
| zequence | Hit "q" go quit the manual | 14:00 |
