| gnome-power93 | How do I completely disable the laptop lid functions so it "does nothing" when the lid is closed? | 00:45 |
|---|---|---|
| gnome-power93 | Using Lubuntu 10.04 and I can't see a "do nothing" option in the power manager. | 00:46 |
| holstein | !10.04 | 00:47 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support continues. See http://ubottu.com/y/lucid for more details. | 00:47 |
| gnome-power93 | OK, lets reshape this question.... | 00:47 |
| holstein | gnome-power93: sometimes, it can be a bad idea, since air gets pulled in from the keyboard.. i currently have a machine that the lid closes on and it doesnt sleep | 00:48 |
| phillw | gnome-power93: 10.04 was not even an adopted system into the canonical family | 00:48 |
| gnome-power93 | How do I use gconftool to enable "do nothing" when lid is closed? | 00:49 |
| holstein | gnome-power93: i didnt.. i just chose it in a supported version of ubuntu | 00:49 |
| holstein | gnome-power93: you can always try a supported version live, and see if it fits your needs, and has the features you seek | 00:50 |
| gnome-power93 | it's a real pain to install because this tablet has no cd and won't boot from usb, so i really want to stick with 10.04 which is already installed | 00:50 |
| holstein | gnome-power93: you can.. but, the support for it has ended.. so, you'll need to support it on your own | 00:51 |
| phillw | gnome-power93: how did you manage to get it installed in the 1st case? | 00:51 |
| gnome-power93 | phillw: using a lot of trickery with sd card, ide adapter, usb ports and 2 PCs ;- ) | 00:52 |
| gnome-power93 | It's working fine now, just need to disable the lid so I can access tablet mode | 00:52 |
| gnome-power93 | I found this command: | 00:52 |
| gnome-power93 | gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_ac "nothing" | 00:52 |
| gnome-power93 | I modded the code slightly so hope it works... testing... | 00:53 |
| gnome-power93 | awesome..it works on AC | 00:54 |
| phillw | gnome-power93: as holstein said, do have a look as to if it will support the new version. If it can support 13.10 which is now in Release Candidate testing you have a very good chance of catching the next LTS. If your machine can only support the elder chip sets, we do keep the download there, but cannot support it. | 00:57 |
| gnome-power | Hey, i'm back | 01:02 |
| gnome-power | I managed to enable "do nothing" when lid is closed. Works fine now. | 01:02 |
| gnome-power | the gconftool did the trick. I'm also using "onboard" for on-screen keyboard in tablet mode. | 01:03 |
| R0b0t1` | Hi, I have this issue where I have like nested desktops | 02:14 |
| holstein | R0b0t1`: you have a screenshot? or a picture? | 02:17 |
| R0b0t1` | sec | 02:18 |
| R0b0t1` | holstein: http://i.imgur.com/KuNThRK.jpg | 02:19 |
| R0b0t1` | note my mouse is trying to draw past that | 02:19 |
| R0b0t1` | I can't select on the area outside of that, either | 02:20 |
| holstein | i would just reset.. try using arandr | 02:20 |
| R0b0t1` | I did | 02:21 |
| holstein | try going to one monitor and get things "normal", then go from there with arandr | 02:21 |
| holstein | R0b0t1`: you did what? | 02:21 |
| R0b0t1` | ah, fixed | 02:21 |
| phillw | R0b0t1`: ànd how did you fix it? | 02:37 |
| R0b0t1` | phillw, set to one screen with arandr. Which is funny, because I did pretty much the same thing earlier, but to no benefit | 03:10 |
| phillw | R0b0t1`: multi screens are somewhat of a dark art. I had no issues with lxrandr on my presentation, but installed arandr JIC. As with things in linux... try a couple of variants out and then you will stick with the one that does everything you need.... until it doesn't :D | 03:13 |
| R0b0t1` | Mhmm | 03:14 |
| R0b0t1` | :p | 03:14 |
| phillw | having a plan 'B' is always good. sometimes you need the external device to be connected when you boot up, other times you do not... | 03:15 |
| andreiiar | Hello. I have live disk and want to skip the startupmenu as I dont ever want to install and alwyas use english. How do I do that? | 10:01 |

| jared | Just upgraded my Lubuntu VM to 13.10 - shiny. | 13:02 |
