| cleeming[foxx] | hi all.. so after fighting with debian packaging for a while, I figured that id give ubuntu another try as a desktop.. the first thing that really gets me is that there isnt a simple thing like being able to edit the font sizes out of the box.. i had to spend 5 minutes googling, then i had to install gnome-tweak-tool.. this sort of thing used to just work out of the box. why has this been | 16:52 |
| cleeming[foxx] | changed? | 16:52 |
| cleeming[foxx] | and also, what is with this big side bar on the left hand side? and why when im searching for the word "terminal" do i get shown "terminal 4 - terminal 4" @ £7.92 | 16:53 |
| cleeming[foxx] | it seems a million miles away from what ubuntu used to be 4 years ago :X | 16:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | cleeming[foxx]: the bar at the left is called "Unity" | 16:54 |
| TheLordOfTime | when you search for the word "terminal" the shopping lens i think is picking it up as well. | 16:55 |
| cleeming[foxx] | i thought unity was that cube thing, the unity3d multi desktop stuff | 16:55 |
| cleeming[foxx] | ah, i just found this; https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/10/privacy-ubuntu-1210-amazon-ads-and-data-leaks | 16:55 |
| TheLordOfTime | cleeming[foxx]: http://unity.ubuntu.com/ | 16:55 |
| TheLordOfTime | cleeming[foxx]: you can disable the online search stuff though | 16:56 |
| cleeming[foxx] | ahhh, i hadnt seen the unity url before.. ill have a read now, ty | 16:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | http://askubuntu.com/questions/192269/how-can-i-remove-amazon-search-results-from-the-dash | 16:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | (sorry about dumping this in -motu, MOTUs.) | 16:56 |
| cleeming[foxx] | should i be using a diff channel to talk about this sort of thing? | 16:56 |
| cleeming[foxx] | if so my apologies, id used ubuntu-motu before for packaging problems, and everyone was very helpful, so figured it would be the best place to ask | 16:57 |
| TheLordOfTime | the questions you just asked weren't packaging problems though | 16:57 |
| * TheLordOfTime shurgs | 16:57 | |
| TheLordOfTime | i'm not a MOTU, i'm just a bugs triager and part-time packager :P | 16:58 |
| cleeming[foxx] | got it | 16:58 |
| cleeming[foxx] | well, i figured if i asked in #ubuntu, i wouldnt get any quality of response | 16:58 |
| TheLordOfTime | i ask my packaging questions here, and occasionally poke here for getting a sponsor for the universe packages i submit debdiffs for when the bug is "High" priority (unless i'm told otherwise) | 16:59 |
| cleeming[foxx] | this might sound like an absolutely stupid question but... would it be considered normal if i was to replace the unity window manager? i.e. is that what most people do? | 17:01 |
| jtaylor | I wouldn't say most, but many do | 17:02 |
| TheLordOfTime | i didn't | 17:02 |
| TheLordOfTime | but for me it's irrelevant: | 17:02 |
| TheLordOfTime | most of what I do is command line anyways | 17:03 |
| cleeming[foxx] | well exactly, i only wanted ubuntu as a simple terminal window manager.. was considering putting in openbox instead | 17:03 |
| jtaylor | there is lubuntu | 17:03 |
| cleeming[foxx] | *googles* | 17:03 |
| jtaylor | I think it uses openbox or fluxbox | 17:03 |
| cleeming[foxx] | oh nice | 17:03 |
| cleeming[foxx] | that looks quite clean.. is it kept as up to date as ubuntu? | 17:04 |
| jtaylor | so far I know its jsut ubuntu with different default | 17:04 |
| cleeming[foxx] | fluxbox ah yeah i used that too | 17:04 |
| jtaylor | packages should be the same | 17:04 |
| cleeming[foxx] | nice, thanks man, ill give that a try.. sorry for flooding -motu with user questions, will refrain from it in future! | 17:04 |
| * cleeming[foxx] just found where i should have asked these questions.. #ubuntu-offtopic ! | 17:08 | |
