| aney | Hello everybody , I get some trouble when I starting the lubuntu of powerpc. | 00:31 |
|---|---|---|
| aney | When I start the lightdm , the screen is just pictures with no text. | 00:32 |
| phillw | aney: which version of lubuntu? | 00:32 |
| aney | v12.10 | 00:32 |
| aney | when I configure my xorg.conf , It just says:number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. configure faild. | 00:34 |
| phillw | aney: you need to catch it and enter some boot parameters to have the various graphics cards that apple have used work.... head over to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing/PPC%26Mac64#Other_links for more information on the links to get it running. It is not a lubuntu issue, it is a PPC issue. | 00:35 |
| aney | I'v searched online , and did as what they said , but it still not work. I will try this .Anyway thanks for your help! | 00:38 |
| phillw | aney: one of the links from that page is http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=328 highly recommended :) | 00:39 |
| aney | OK , thanks ^--^ | 00:40 |
| phillw | aney: the 'reboot required' bug seems to have now been solved... but it is only in 13.10 which the 1st test release was made today. | 00:41 |
| aney | I'v downloaed it , and burning it to a CD , but I can't boot it. | 00:43 |
| ianorlin | didn't he say 12.10 not 13.10? | 00:43 |

| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 00:47 |
| phillw | ianorlin: there have been bugs nagging PPC since 12.10, which are kernel based. there has been a major effort to get them resolved for 13.10. The 1st release of the new ppc kernel landed today in the desktop systems after being heavily tested in the server area. | 00:49 |
| ianorlin | ok | 00:49 |
| aney | Yes , my Powerbook G4 works well with 12.04 .But can't boot with 12.10 or 13.04/10 . | 00:51 |
| aney | I just used the alternate version. | 00:52 |
| aney | And installed 12.10 in text mode. | 00:53 |
| phillw | aney: the 13.10 arrived a few hours ago, do give it a try. | 00:54 |
| phillw | aney: do *not* use earlier 13.10 ISO's, they were known as broken whilst the kernel was sorted out. | 00:56 |
| aney | Sure , thanks buddies . What a terrible network , I can't stand it any more . | 01:15 |

| manik | Hello. | 19:46 |
| manik | Can anybody tell me how to increase the size of Menu? | 19:46 |
| zleap | not sure | 19:52 |
| zleap | i can make the panel bigger, panel icons bigger but not the acutal menu (13.04) | 19:52 |
| manik | zleap how to do that? I just want to make it taller | 19:54 |
| zleap | right click on the panel, goto panel settings | 19:54 |
| manik | yes | 19:55 |
| zleap | you then have options for icon size and panel height | 19:56 |
| zleap | under geometry | 19:56 |
| manik | yup | 19:56 |
| zleap | but that doesn't change the actual physical size of the menu | 19:56 |
| manik | but that would be for the taskbar, not Menu, rght? | 19:56 |
| manik | yes, exactly | 19:56 |
| zleap | yeah | 19:56 |
| zleap | but the menu icon is bigger | 19:56 |
| manik | how | 19:57 |
| manik | will try and search again. Thanks. :) zleap | 19:58 |
| zleap | np | 19:59 |

| Guest77117 | how do you save the setting to view files as detailed list instead of icons list? | 21:40 |
| phillw | Guest77117: it is on the wish list... still drived me mad :) | 21:50 |
| phillw | Guest77117: I'll go and ask the dev on our behalf, he's a nice guy and as this is a bug and not a new feature I have hope that it can be sorted out. | 21:58 |
| phillw | Guest77117: I've sent an email to the developer of pcmanfm to ask that he fix this. He;s pretty quick on such issues and we can expect a fix within about the next week. | 22:53 |
| Guest77117 | okay, thanks | 22:59 |
