[00:45] <gnome-power93> How do I completely disable the laptop lid functions so it "does nothing" when the lid is closed?
[00:46] <gnome-power93> Using Lubuntu 10.04 and I can't see a "do nothing" option in the power manager.
[00:47] <holstein> !10.04
[00:47] <gnome-power93> OK, lets reshape this question....
[00:48] <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
[00:49] <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
[00:50] <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
[00:51] <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?
[00:52] <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"
[00:53] <gnome-power93> I modded the code slightly so hope it works...  testing...
[00:54] <gnome-power93> awesome..it works on AC
[00:57] <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.
[01:02] <gnome-power> Hey, i'm back
[01:02] <gnome-power> I managed to enable "do nothing" when lid is closed.   Works fine now.
[01:03] <gnome-power> the gconftool did the trick.  I'm also using "onboard" for on-screen keyboard in tablet mode.
[02:14] <R0b0t1`> Hi, I have this issue where I have like nested desktops
[02:17] <holstein> R0b0t1`: you have a screenshot? or a picture?
[02:18] <R0b0t1`> sec
[02:19] <R0b0t1`> holstein: http://i.imgur.com/KuNThRK.jpg
[02:19] <R0b0t1`> note my mouse is trying to draw past that
[02:20] <R0b0t1`> I can't select on the area outside of that, either
[02:20] <holstein> i would just reset.. try using arandr
[02:21] <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
[02:37] <phillw> R0b0t1`: ànd how did you fix it?
[03:10] <R0b0t1`> phillw, set to one screen with arandr. Which is funny, because I did pretty much the same thing earlier, but to no benefit
[03:13] <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
[03:14] <R0b0t1`> Mhmm
[03:14] <R0b0t1`> :p
[03:15] <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...
[10:01] <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?
[12:18] <rcman> so.. for this stuff .. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics
[12:19] <rcman> what is the correct way to turn RBCornerButton off?
[13:02] <jared> Just upgraded my Lubuntu VM to 13.10 - shiny.
[13:33] <phillw> jared: it's nice, isn't it :)
