| nurow | hello, I recently wiped my computer which was running 12.10 ubuntu and (I think) nvidia-current. I have now upgraded to 13.10 fresh, but it seems that I'm having serious graphics problems. The graphics are very choppy whenever I do things like open the unity menu, etc. I never had these problems before. And the computer's performance as a whole is quite low. I'm not sure where to begin in troubleshooting. | 03:53 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I hope you mean 13.04... Don't expect anything to run right yet... it's still a beta release. | 03:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | nurow: ^ | 03:55 |
| nurow | lol, yeah 13.04 | 04:01 |
| nurow | so you think the lagginess is a bug? | 04:01 |
| nurow | the drivers i'm on are nvidia 304.. should i consider upgrading to newer nvidia drivers? | 04:02 |
| nurow | or are there any known video lag related bugs for 13.04? | 04:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | nurow: (a) Make sure you have nvidia-current installed. (b) I wouldn't know, because (1) I don't have an nVidia card and (2) I don't work for Microsoft. | 04:03 |
| nurow | microsoft... what? | 04:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Microsoft owns nVidia. | 04:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Shocker, ain't it? :) | 04:04 |
| nurow | since when?? | 04:04 |
| nurow | i've never heard that | 04:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | They discussed an acquisition deal in 2011 and apparently that's been stuck in my head. | 04:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I think it fell through. | 04:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | But they pour so much money into nVidia that they might as well... nVidia is found almost exclusively in hardware that ships with Windows, and the Xbox line. (The exceptions are System76 products, which ship Ubuntu, and some Android devices.) | 04:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Sorry, gotta go... | 04:12 |
| nurow | anyone else around who can help with driver issues, etc? | 04:14 |
| Morpheaus | Azharr, so what's up with Chrome - not working? | 04:15 |

| BluPhenix316 | hey guys, how do i remove the nvidia splash screen when starting X? | 16:18 |
| BluPhenix316 | there is no xorg.conf file | 16:18 |
| BluesKaj | BluPhenix316, mine flashes for a few millisecs ...what's the problem ? | 16:20 |
| BluPhenix316 | there is no problem | 16:21 |
| BluPhenix316 | just when i boot into ubuntu before lightdm is launched i get a big nividia splash screen | 16:21 |
| BluPhenix316 | i wanted to remove it, you do it normally through xorg.conf by adding Option "NoLogo" | 16:21 |
| BluPhenix316 | but there is no xorg.conf | 16:21 |
| BluesKaj | BluPhenix316, are you sure you have no /etc/x11/xorg.conf | 16:22 |
| BluPhenix316 | yes | 16:22 |
| BluPhenix316 | hmm think i might have figured it out, i need to add a file 20-nvidia.conf to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 16:23 |
| BluesKaj | you can create one by doing sudo Xorg -configure | 16:24 |
| BluesKaj | the nvidia-xconfig file isn't easily edited afaik | 16:24 |

| Arleas | hello! | 17:43 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Hey, you've found the right channel! | 17:44 |
| Arleas_ | Hello! Sorry, the IRC client disconnected | 17:45 |
| Arleas_ | Can anyone help me with the partition wizard for installing Ubuntu? | 17:46 |
| nullby7e | 13.04 has not been released? | 17:46 |
| Arleas_ | I tried creating a partition in Windows 8, but the installer had an error when using it | 17:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | nullby7e: 2013.04.25 | 17:46 |
| Arleas_ | I have the beta on USB | 17:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Arleas_: What kind of partition | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | !efi | 17:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ? | 17:46 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | Arleas_, ^ | 17:47 |
| Arleas_ | I read that the installer can resize the partition | 17:47 |
| Arleas_ | but, when clicking the 'install alongside Windows 8', you can drag a slider left and right | 17:47 |
| nullby7e | SonikkuAmerica: ok | 17:47 |
| Arleas_ | but it doesn't say which side (left or right) is for ubuntu | 17:47 |
| Arleas_ | which seems a glaring omission | 17:47 |
| BluesKaj | windows 8 raises it's ugly head once more | 17:47 |
| Arleas_ | *its | 17:48 |
| Arleas_ | ddd | 17:48 |
| Arleas_ | Well, I made a partition under Windows 8, and it couldn't have been easier | 17:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Arleas_: You'd think it was... I would assume whatever space is a different color than the other is for Ubuntu... but because it's the only thing I run, can't be too sure | 17:48 |
| Arleas_ | but the Ubuntu installer had an error when attempting to install to it | 17:48 |
| Arleas_ | annoyingly, they're both the same colour! | 17:49 |
| Arleas_ | just a grey | 17:49 |
| Arleas_ | plus, i don't seem to be able to specify anything 100gb | 17:49 |
| Arleas_ | i only wanted a 30gb partition! | 17:49 |
| Arleas_ | not really sure how to install this without potentially formatting or writing over my storage HD | 17:51 |
| Arleas_ | man alive | 17:58 |

| bjsnider | i don't know | 18:19 |
| lordievader | bjsnider: The release of Raring Ringtail :D | 18:40 |
| bjsnider | i only use gnome,s l it wouldn't make much difference to upgrade | 18:44 |
| ubuntu222 | if i install 13.04 will it update when it goes full release this month? | 19:14 |
| wilee-nilee | ubuntu222, Just run in the terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade the upgrade system sync you with the latest downloads available. | 19:15 |
| ubuntu222 | ok thanks | 19:15 |
| Iruian | Trying out 13.04 and for some reason executables on will only open in the text editor? I have them set as allowing them to execute as a program, but I don't get the old run in terminal / display / run options anymore? | 19:26 |
| Iruian | Is there a way to set it back so that .sh and .py scripts execute when opened instead of going to the editor? | 19:27 |
| jtaylor | do the files have executable permissions? | 19:27 |
| Iruian | yes | 19:27 |
| Iruian | Atleast in the gui it is showing that they should allow execution | 19:29 |
| Iruian | ls -l shows -rwxr-xr-x | 19:30 |
| jtaylor | don't know, Inever start things from a gui :/ | 19:32 |
| Iruian | just odd as it used to have the 4 selectable launch options in 12.04 / 12.10 | 19:32 |
| Iruian | They run from command line just fine. But all scripts by default on opening just open in an editor even if they are set as executable | 19:33 |
| Iruian | when double click on | 19:33 |
| Iruian | Makes it more difficult as even basic .sh scripts can't be double clicked on to run easily. | 19:37 |

| Bauer1 | How can I adjust the Unity taskbar, so clicking on active window's icon will also minimize it, like in windows? I use that a lot | 20:42 |
| FernandoMiguel | Bauer1: no idea | 20:42 |
| FernandoMiguel | now that I think about it, the concept of minimizing seems odd :S | 20:42 |
| Bauer1 | yeah, it slows me down a lot, when working with 2-3 windows | 20:43 |
| FernandoMiguel | I never click there anyway | 20:43 |
| FernandoMiguel | only super+NUM | 20:43 |
| FernandoMiguel | for the app I want | 20:43 |
| FernandoMiguel | or super+w to see all | 20:43 |
| Bauer1 | hmm super+w is nice, how do you know which num? | 20:44 |
| FernandoMiguel | Bauer1: hold super | 20:44 |
| Bauer1 | ahhh, lol thats nice! super+alt+num is like in strategy games, creating groups :D | 20:45 |
| Bauer1 | hmm nope that doesnt work | 20:46 |
| FernandoMiguel | Bauer1: now figure how many times I hit super+w on other PCs | 20:46 |
| FernandoMiguel | even on ChromeOS | 20:46 |
| FernandoMiguel | I can do pretty much any window jump with a few shortcuts | 20:47 |
| Bauer1 | FernandoMiguel: I found it, numbers show up on launcher bar, but it supports only 10 | 20:47 |
| Bauer1 | I have more, between 11-15 apps open | 20:47 |
| FernandoMiguel | Bauer1: you have more than TEN windows open? | 20:48 |
| FernandoMiguel | WHYYY?!!???? | 20:48 |
| Bauer1 | lol yes, and thats half of what I have in windows :P well lets see: | 20:48 |
| Bauer1 | 1 - termina | 20:48 |
| Bauer1 | 2 - nautilus | 20:48 |
| FernandoMiguel | !oneline | 20:49 |
| FernandoMiguel | Bauer1: just press super and type the 1st 2 letter for it | 20:50 |
| FernandoMiguel | unity search should be smart and fast enough to learn which one you want | 20:50 |
| Bauer1 | 3- software center, 4 - Chrome, 5 - Netbeans, 6 - Ubuntu One, 7 - System Settings, 8 - Xchat, 9 - Text Editor, 10 - Filezilla, 11 - Skype, 12 - PDF Viewer | 20:51 |
| Bauer1 | FernandoMiguel: that is slow approach and not working - if I type 'file', it gives me couple options with file, and so I have to keep tying | 20:52 |
| FernandoMiguel | !?1 | 20:52 |
| FernandoMiguel | what app is supposed to handle "file" ? | 20:53 |
| FernandoMiguel | oh filezilla ..... | 20:53 |
| FernandoMiguel | yeah, just open it a few times, it will learn | 20:53 |
| Bauer1 | FernandoMiguel: even if it did "learn" - it still opens a new window, not bringing the open one to the front | 20:53 |
| FernandoMiguel | https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/112892/Screenshot%20from%202013-04-15%2021%3A53%3A36.png wfm | 20:54 |
| FernandoMiguel | ahh to jump between open apps? | 20:54 |
| FernandoMiguel | good old alt tab | 20:54 |
| FernandoMiguel | and super+w | 20:55 |
| Bauer1 | I found alt-tab to be tricky, if you have two Chrome windows open, and holding alt while considering chrome - it will go in and display both | 20:56 |
| Bauer1 | is there no way to add preview feature on hover? like in windows 7 | 20:57 |
| FernandoMiguel | Bauer1: alt \ | 20:57 |
| Bauer1 | what? | 20:57 |
| FernandoMiguel | alt+\ | 20:58 |
| FernandoMiguel | or the one you might have above TAB key | 20:58 |
| FernandoMiguel | that switch betweens multiple windows of the same app, like alt+tab does for diff apps | 20:58 |
| Bauer1 | ah yes, but what I mean is, that if I have 10 windows open, and I use alt-tab, but I am not fast enough and delay too long on Chrome (if/when it has 2 Windows open), it will go into Chrome and show the same menu as alt+` does | 20:59 |
| Bauer1 | while all I wanted is to hold alt, while I consider what window I want | 21:00 |
| FernandoMiguel | Bauer1: it does | 21:00 |
| FernandoMiguel | hold alt while on chrome, it should expand | 21:00 |
| FernandoMiguel | again. super+w is faster | 21:00 |
| Bauer1 | FernandoMiguel: exactly, I DONT want it to expand so fast | 21:05 |
| Bauer1 | I want it to wait longer | 21:05 |
| FernandoMiguel | Bauer1: configure it then :) | 21:05 |
| Bauer1 | where? | 21:05 |
| FernandoMiguel | you might need to install compiz config manager | 21:05 |
| Bauer1 | ohh, you sure thats the thing which allows to configure this stuff? | 21:06 |
| FernandoMiguel | let me see | 21:07 |
| FernandoMiguel | it seems it's now called unity-tweak-tool | 21:07 |
| FernandoMiguel | that's new to me | 21:08 |
| Bauer1 | I have compiz config settings manager, are those two different? | 21:08 |
| FernandoMiguel | give me a few min :) | 21:08 |
| johnjohn101 | good luck with all that. | 21:14 |
| FernandoMiguel | Bauer1: no option there | 21:14 |
| Bauer1 | huh, then we need to raise this issue before release.. its a big issue | 21:15 |
| FernandoMiguel | I don't see who that is a critical bug | 21:15 |
| FernandoMiguel | don't expect to have it fixed in unity before it's next release | 21:16 |
| Bauer1 | its not a work-breaking bug, but it interferes with the daily usage for someone like me who has 10+ open windows | 21:16 |
| FernandoMiguel | much less while we are days from release | 21:16 |
| Bauer1 | I cant switch alt_tab that fast, I must slow down the expansion | 21:16 |
| FernandoMiguel | why? | 21:16 |
| FernandoMiguel | most of the times you will be jumping to the same window you left | 21:17 |
| Bauer1 | because when I have many windows, sometimes I need to start using alt-tab, then hold tab while inspecting the windows to decide which one I need, and how many times to hit tab to reach it | 21:17 |
| FernandoMiguel | and you have Desktops for more controlled and isolated envs | 21:17 |
| Bauer1 | while I do that, it suddenly expands sometimes | 21:17 |
| Bauer1 | what do you mean Desktops? super+w? | 21:18 |
| FernandoMiguel | no | 21:18 |
| FernandoMiguel | Desktops... yeah, they changed that to ZERO... how smart :( | 21:19 |
| FernandoMiguel | increase the number of desktops, Bauer1, like on any other linux Window Manager | 21:19 |
| FernandoMiguel | I have 2 by 2 desktops | 21:19 |
| FernandoMiguel | I can keep diff subjects on each | 21:19 |
| Bauer1 | hmmm, in the unity tool? I never used multiple desktops before, never understood what they were for (but that was before I had 2 screens..) | 21:20 |
| === patdk-wk_ is now known as patdk-wk | ||
| Bauer1 | thanks FernandoMiguel , you helped me a lot - given some alternatives which might be quite good once I get used to them | 21:27 |
| Bauer1 | how do you "partition" your 2x2 desktops? | 21:28 |
| FernandoMiguel | yw | 21:28 |
| FernandoMiguel | unity-tweak-tool | 21:28 |
| FernandoMiguel | workspace settings | 21:28 |
| FernandoMiguel | set vert vs horiz | 21:28 |
| FernandoMiguel | super+e shows all spaces | 21:29 |
| Bauer1 | ahh yes, what I meant is how do you divide them, what to put on each? | 21:29 |
| FernandoMiguel | ahh | 21:29 |
| FernandoMiguel | either mouse drag | 21:29 |
| FernandoMiguel | or alt+ARROWKEY | 21:30 |
| FernandoMiguel | or right click and choose the Space to send that window | 21:30 |
| Bauer1 | I just found out that super+w does not show minimized windows.. cant find setting to include minimized ones yet | 21:30 |
| FernandoMiguel | there's a setting for that, I saw it | 21:31 |
| FernandoMiguel | see switcher | 21:32 |
| Bauer1 | no, I mean the overlay shown by super+w, is only showing the non-minimized windows | 21:34 |
| FernandoMiguel | I tested | 21:35 |
| FernandoMiguel | I've minimized windows and they still show on S+W | 21:35 |
| Bauer1 | I found it: in Window spread, I have re-set S+w to for the windows spread for all windows, however, all the minimized ones are "invisible" | 21:37 |
| Bauer1 | only hovering with mouse over them, shows they are there :) | 21:37 |
| FernandoMiguel | ?! | 21:37 |
| Bauer1 | sec, I will make a screenshot | 21:37 |
| FernandoMiguel | I would never want to see *all* windows from *all* desktops | 21:39 |
| Bauer1 | but right now they are all on a single desktop still, as far as I know | 21:39 |
| FernandoMiguel | k | 21:40 |
| Bauer1 | FernandoMiguel: http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/9088/windowspreadghostwindow.png | 21:50 |
| Bauer1 | note that it turns out the hidden highlighted window (using the mouse) is my second chrome window | 21:50 |
| FernandoMiguel | eewwww | 21:50 |
| Bauer1 | fuck, gimp totally fucked it up | 21:51 |
| Bauer1 | grrr, one min | 21:51 |
| Bauer1 | FernandoMiguel: sorry, the image is correct.. was my chrome plugin that confused me :) | 21:53 |
| Bauer1 | do you see the bug? | 21:53 |
| Bauer1 | do you alsol see on the left, how I am trying to get rid of the Super+w shortcut for the first option? I cant set it to none :( | 21:54 |
