| nintet | hi | 02:27 |
|---|---|---|
| nagev | hello | 02:28 |
| nintet | i have an old ATI RS480 | 02:28 |
| nintet | how do i install the best driver for that card? | 02:28 |
| nintet | Xubuntu 12.04 LTS | 02:28 |
| nintet | video is really choppy | 02:29 |
| nintet | http://askubuntu.com/questions/69003/which-ati-driver-should-i-use-for-a-radeon-xpress-200m | 02:30 |
| nintet | -=// | 02:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | nintet: Have you checked Additional Drivers? | 02:30 |
| nintet | is that in the "Software Center" ? | 02:32 |
| nagev | yes it should be | 02:33 |
| nintet | ok, sais no proprietary drivers on this system | 02:33 |
| tych0 | nintet: try sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon if you want an open source driver for your card | 02:34 |
| tych0 | i think as long as you're not trying to do any 3d work it should be fine | 02:34 |
| nintet | xserver-xorg-video-radeon is already the newest version. | 02:34 |
| tych0 | oh :-( | 02:35 |
| Unit193 | Software Sources > Additional Drivers if you want closed source. | 02:35 |
| tych0 | yeah, you'll probably want the closed source driver then | 02:35 |
| nagev | yeh i would think thats is used by default. maybe you could try installing the proprietary one. try: sudo apt-get install fglrx | 02:35 |
| nintet | Fetched 45.3 MB in 20s (2,252 kB/s) cable! | 02:36 |
| nintet | ilove a fast connection | 02:37 |
| * SonikkuAmerica (has 4G LTE) | 02:38 | |
| nintet | are you on a phone? | 02:38 |
| nintet | ok, the install finished, do i just reboot to try it ? | 02:38 |
| nagev | yeah reboot and cross your fingers! i think if you have issues you need to run: aticonfig --initial | 02:40 |
| tych0 | aticonfig --initial --all maybe? | 02:40 |
| tych0 | or i guess that's if you have more than one card | 02:40 |
| SuperLag | I have a ThinkPad connected to a docking station. When I boot undocked, the theme and fonts look fine when the desktop loads. | 06:22 |
| SuperLag | However, if I reboot while docked, the theme is hosed, and so are the fonts. You guys heard of any issue like that? | 06:22 |

| dskfl | hi, in xubuntu 13 i can't have a custom keyboard map automatically run at boot. I need to run xmodmap .Xmodmap in a terminal each time restart the pc | 09:39 |
| brainwash | dskfl: navigate to settings manager -> session and startup -> application autostart and add the command | 09:45 |
| koegs | normally you will be asked once(!) if you want to load .Xmodmap on every startup | 09:46 |
| dskfl | i did not receive that question | 09:47 |
| dskfl | and it's a recent install so i should remember | 09:47 |
| koegs | please check with gconf-editor if "desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/general" has an entry ".Xmodmap" in known_file_list | 09:47 |
| dskfl | i believe i found once that the init scripts look for such a custom .Xmodmap in the users home dir and it tries to load it if found, but it never *worked* for me | 09:48 |
| dskfl | i'll just try the session thing and see at the next reboot | 09:48 |
| dskfl | well found it again, /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc line 88 | 09:51 |
| dskfl | actually if i copy paste that line in the terminal it sets the kb map. Maybe this script is not run at startup as it should dunno | 09:52 |
| koegs | dskfl: you are right, tested it in 13.04 and no such questions appear | 09:56 |
| koegs | *appears | 09:56 |
| koegs | last time i have used .Xmodmap was wit 10.04 | 09:57 |
| dskfl | maybe should fill in a bug | 09:57 |
| koegs | dskfl: would be the best idea... as workaround you can use the instruction from brainwash | 09:57 |
| dskfl | ok | 09:58 |
| dskfl | anyway this is a minor inconvenient compared to using unity | 09:59 |
| koegs | [x] true :) | 09:59 |
| dskfl | i would happily set xmodmap 3 times a day than use that | 09:59 |
| nasir | hi i am new to xubuntu. my vlc crashes when i put it in fullscreen | 10:03 |
| dskfl | what video driver do you have installed | 10:04 |
| nasir | i dont know | 10:05 |
| dskfl | maybe you could try and install a proprietary driver after finding out what video card and driver you currently have. But i never had problems with a default install, in my case i have nvidia and the default nouveau driver | 10:06 |
| nasir | thanks dskfl i am checking | 10:08 |
| dskfl | don't count on it to fix the issue though.. but i would try it | 10:09 |
| nasir | ok | 10:10 |
| Aiena | dskfl: I noticed that proprietary drivers seem to perform better when it comes to nvidia also they are better for CG. But yes the nouveau driver works very well too. | 10:35 |
| dskfl | i actually prefer nouveau over the proprietary driver | 10:37 |
| dskfl | i remember the days when it was a pain to set up X .. and multiple monitors and all that | 10:38 |
| dskfl | now is just install .. go to settings and Display | 10:38 |
| dskfl | that's it | 10:38 |
| dskfl | don't remember the last time i opened xorg.conf and i guess that's the way it should be | 10:39 |
| Aiena | Well I noticed atleast for me when it comes to blender etc. the proprietary driver has support for more things but I think the npuveau driver is probably more stable. | 10:42 |
| Aiena | *nouveau | 10:43 |
| xubuntu132 | Hi all :) | 11:17 |

| flux242 | is there a caps-lock visual indicator for gnome? To be shown as a OSD or in the panel | 14:56 |
| TheSheep | flux242: ask on #ubuntu, thy deal with gnome | 14:56 |
| flux242 | I'm using xfce | 14:56 |
| TheSheep | but you are looking for something for gnome? | 14:57 |
| flux242 | gtk | 14:57 |
| TheSheep | or xfce? | 14:57 |
| flux242 | gnome and xfce are based on gtk you know? | 14:58 |
| TheSheep | flux242: but xfce4's panel is quite different from the gnome panel | 14:59 |
| TheSheep | flux242: you may be able to do it with xfce4-genmon-plugin\ | 15:01 |
| TheSheep | flux242: I can't see anything dedicated | 15:01 |
| GridCube | what do he needs? | 15:02 |
| TheSheep | 16:56 < flux242> is there a caps-lock visual indicator for gnome? To be shown as a OSD or in the panel | 15:03 |
| TheSheep | except replace gnome with xfce | 15:03 |
| GridCube | oh there is | 15:03 |
| GridCube | you need to compile it yourself | 15:03 |
| GridCube | i used it back in '11 | 15:03 |
| TheSheep | one of the examples on xfce page? | 15:03 |
| GridCube | no no, i think it was on xfce-looks | 15:04 |
| GridCube | let me google the irc channels back in '11-'12 | 15:04 |
| Sysi | there is xfce4-kbdsleds-plugin | 15:10 |
| Sysi | http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-kbdleds-plugin | 15:11 |
| GridCube | exactly | 15:13 |
| GridCube | thats the one i used | 15:13 |
| flux242 | how does it work? I need it to show an indicator only when caps-lock is pressed. I'm to lazy to compile it just to find out | 15:15 |
| GridCube | oh, i dont know if it works like that, i havent used it in ages | 15:15 |
| koegs | http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/indicator-keylock-displays-keyboard.html | 15:28 |
| Sysi | this is three years old | 15:29 |
| Sysi | though it seems ppa is still there and packages are found even for raring | 15:30 |
| koegs | yes, and i use on my 12.10 | 15:31 |

| Carlinhos | is it possible to have indicator messages back in 13.04? i miss it greatly. | 22:18 |
| Unit193 | No supported way, no. | 22:19 |
| === duelle is now known as due11e | ||
| Carlinhos | what would an unsupported way be like? | 22:19 |
| due11e | Hi there, when I booted my machine (Xubuntu 12.04) all window borders were gone and I couldn't enter any text in gui elements from the OS (Terminal: no, Firefox: yes) | 22:20 |
| due11e | Is there any way to get the borders back? I cant remember having done some stuff that could have led to something like that .. | 22:21 |
| holstein | due11e: i would try as another user. if things are OK as the new user, the issue is in the /home of the user that wont boot properly | 22:21 |
| Belial` | anyone using compton as a compositor notice xfce-terminal has a weird redraw when minimizing when using fade options? | 22:22 |
| Unit193 | Carlinhos: None supported here, but I've heard of some that try packages from quantal or precise. | 22:22 |
| Carlinhos | so i can just grab a .deb from quantal and install it? | 22:23 |
| holstein | Carlinhos: that is the unsupported scenario | 22:23 |
| due11e | holstein: seems to work with another user .. Are there any files that I could copy over (or change) to fix that? | 22:24 |
| Sysi | due11e: rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions on the broken user, select to not not save session after selecting "log out" from main menu | 22:24 |
| Unit193 | Carlinhos: http://paste.openstack.org/show/mtg1YMxyGGYcwrIZcdI1 and libindicator7_0.5.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb for example may work... >_> | 22:25 |
| Carlinhos | i'll give it a try, thank you | 22:25 |
| holstein | due11e: what i usually do is, move all config files out of the /home.. reboot and test.. then i put back what i need.. they are hidden.. .mozilla for example, if i wanted to keep my firefix config | 22:26 |
| holstein | due11e: but, Sysi 's suggestion will likely do the trick. i didnt see that above ^^ | 22:26 |
| due11e | holstein: Sysi: I just cleared the .cache and now it works fine again ;). Thank you two! | 22:28 |
