| Greylocks | how do you get focus follows mouse in gnome? | 13:54 |
|---|---|---|
| Dark_light | anyone using the saucy alpha on a daily basis ? | 13:55 |
| roasted | I was up until last night. | 13:59 |
| roasted | I decided to bump back to 13.04 to see if any updates to the 3.8 kernel fixed my issue. | 13:59 |
| Dark_light | what issue? | 13:59 |
| roasted | I was using 13.10 to get away from the 3.8 kernel, as 3.8 introduced a problem for me and 3.10 kernel (in 13.10 ubuntu gnome alpha) fixed it. | 13:59 |
| roasted | my laptop would lock up randomly with no warning or error | 14:00 |
| Dark_light | oh yeah it's an issue with some intel hd audio cards I've been told, I've had the same issue I remember I just upgraded to the 3.9.something kernel and it disappeared | 14:00 |
| roasted | it was a GPU error, something about kernel 3.8 that enabled new features for Intel Sandy Bridge GPUs | 14:00 |
| roasted | oh you've seen it? | 14:00 |
| Dark_light | yeah | 14:01 |
| roasted | I was told it was GPU related | 14:01 |
| roasted | it locks up 100% | 14:01 |
| roasted | I can't move my mouse, sound locks up, everything 100% gridlock | 14:01 |
| Dark_light | it could be I never looked too much into it I just upgraded the kernel and that was it | 14:01 |
| roasted | well I was going to upgrade the kernel, but I wasn't sure how to plug in my broadcom wireless driver after that | 14:01 |
| Dark_light | the odd thing though is that on the same machine on gentoo and a 3.8 kernel I've never had a single issue | 14:01 |
| roasted | because if I go into additional drivers and reinstall it, it doesn't compile properly for some reason | 14:02 |
| roasted | yeah, it could be a 3.8 issue specific to ubuntu | 14:02 |
| roasted | I only tried mint and it did the same thing, but mint being ubuntu based is uh.... | 14:02 |
| roasted | ya know | 14:02 |
| Dark_light | broadcom is a pain in the ass | 14:02 |
| Dark_light | how did you find saucy anyway ? | 14:02 |
| roasted | I liked it | 14:02 |
| roasted | I was surprised how not-terrible it was for being an alpha | 14:03 |
| roasted | the big reason I'm going back to 13.04 on this system is I need handbrake | 14:03 |
| roasted | and handbrake doesn't have any 13.10 packages yet | 14:03 |
| roasted | I figured it'd be an opportunity to see if any of the incremental 3.8.x updates for the 3.8 kernel fixed my issue. | 14:03 |
| roasted | otherwise I'll handbrake what I need and 13.10 it up again | 14:03 |
| Dark_light | that's good I can't stand having two online accounts that alone makes me want to upgrade to 3.10 | 14:03 |
| roasted | I found it annoying too, but I use them infrequently enough I let it go. | 14:04 |
| roasted | Go in, set up, get out, done, ya know | 14:04 |
| Dark_light | I'm dd'ing the saucy iso on a usb stick right now, will test it in a few minutes | 14:06 |
| roasted | it's a good install. I'm super anxious for it. | 14:08 |
| roasted | I like what these devs are doing a lot. | 14:08 |
| roasted | It's fantastic to have a Gnome based Ubuntu fork. I get best of the two worlds I enjoy most while avoiding any Unity-based political crap. :P | 14:08 |
| Dark_light | here we go, I'll be back in a bit | 14:11 |
| ryan_ | perhaps someone can help me(new to ubuntu), i just downloaded gnome desktop environment, with extra components, as far as I know it's been installed, but I see no difference.. is there something im supposed to do within the terminal? | 19:11 |
| roasted | if you installed it in the regular Ubuntu install you need to choose it at the login screen | 19:13 |
| roasted | log out and you'll see an icon, like a gear or something. select GNOME and log in | 19:13 |
| ryan_ | ok, let me restart | 19:13 |
| roasted | I'm on my phone so I won't be of immediate assistance | 19:13 |
| roasted | but that's what it sounds like to me | 19:14 |
| roasted | give ita shot | 19:14 |
| ryan_ | no worries, im a newbie :D | 19:14 |
| roasted | good luck :-) | 19:14 |
| ryan_ | oh my, so many choices... gnome, gnome classic, gnome classic(no effects) lol | 19:14 |
| roasted | just select GNOME for the regular gnome shell | 19:15 |
| roasted | or gnome classic for a classic mode | 19:15 |
| roasted | I prefer GNOME shell under the GNOME option. personal preference | 19:15 |
| ryan_ | good deal, that was easier than I thought | 19:20 |
| roasted | not everything in Linux is hard. :-) | 19:36 |
| ryan_ | just a learning curve | 19:36 |
| ryan_ | ive tried looking at some articles at "must have...after installing ubuntu" but im not really sure what ive done already and havent... as there was 238 updates as soon as i finished installing | 19:37 |

| jbicha | darkxst_: Alpha2 is this week https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseSchedule | 20:20 |
| jbicha | darkxst_: I want to do a ug-default-settings upload, what should we set as the Firefox homepage? | 21:15 |
| darkxst_ | jbicha, I like about:home if we can get that working | 22:28 |
| jbicha | darkxst_: so keep it broken for a bit longer in hopes someone will notice the bug and fix it? :) | 22:33 |
| darkxst_ | jbicha, I guess | 22:36 |
| darkxst_ | maybe I will look into it later | 22:36 |
| jbicha | one workaround would be to split ubufox into 2 extensions so that we can just not install the about:startpage one | 22:50 |
