[14:13] <DavidBrooke> are there any settings for the notification area? I would like to be able to have it clear the notification after a certain amount of time.
[17:18] <swiss> DavidBrooke: i know what you mean... i have a lot of notifications that build up and are a pain to clear
[17:33] <bjsnider> DavidBrooke, the answer is no
[17:38] <bjsnider> DavidBrooke, there's an argument for turning off notification area plugins that are filling up the area with messages you don't care about though
[18:30] <xente> Does anyone know how to prevent unfocused windows from dimming in GNOME?
[18:45] <jw1200w> is bug reporting on gnome3 launchpad restricted to members?
[18:46] <bjsnider> some of these questions sound a bit like 'can i somehow stop gnome from being gnome?'
[18:47] <xente> if gnome can't do what its users want..maybe that's a good thing
[18:52] <bjsnider> it can't be all things to all people, and it's also by no means a finished product
[18:52] <bjsnider> and i don't believe it will ever be as customizable as gnome 2 was
[18:53] <xente> except for minor things, I personally like it (recently switched from Unity)

[20:01] <lubuntos> Hi everyone, I have an HP Desktop Quad 2.2 Ghz with 1GB ram running Lubuntu right now and I would like to install Ubuntu Gnome 13.10. What's your suggestions? Will it work smoothly?
[20:02] <roasted> hard to say. it'd definitely be heavier than lubuntu...
[20:02] <roasted> what sort of GPU do you have
[20:02] <lubuntos> GPU?
[20:02] <roasted> graphics card
[20:02] <roasted> (graphics processing unit)
[20:02] <lubuntos> a alright thanks
[20:03] <lubuntos> I dont know :P I have to go upstairs and see.
[20:04] <roasted> it's hard to say. GNOME can be a little heavy on resources. You say a quad proc, that sounds more than enough, 1GB is mehhhh
[20:04] <lubuntos> The problem is that Lubuntu 13.10 showed to me some mirror bugs that I don't know how to fix. Graphics on letters while reading, are messing up a bit, and I have to hover them with my mouse sometimes to see the text correctly.
[20:04] <roasted> but if the GPU is a workhorse I'm sure it would do fine
[20:04] <roasted> yeah
[20:04] <roasted> I don't know - I don't use Ubuntu GNOME on my main machine. What I do use it on is an i5 with a nice Intel GPU and it runs decent.
[20:04] <roasted> it's also on an SSD and 8GB of RAM...
[20:04] <roasted> so it SHOULD run half decent...
[20:05] <lubuntos> hmmm
[20:05] <lubuntos> I was waiting for ubuntu gnome, because I dont like unity.
[20:05] <lubuntos> :P
[20:05] <lubuntos> I'll see man, thanks! (Thinking now)
[20:06] <roasted> in my experience Gnome has ran a little better than Unity
[20:06] <roasted> not by an epic landslide, but noticeably better
[20:06] <roasted> but NOT like Lubuntu though
[20:06] <roasted> LXDE is crazy stupid light
[20:06] <lubuntos> yeap
[20:06] <lubuntos> I got bored of lubuntu.
[20:06] <roasted> yeah Lubuntu is admittedly a little poor on features :(
[20:06] <roasted> I run it on a laptop at home but that laptop is also terible so I expect very little out of it
[20:07] <lubuntos> my laptop is 6 years old, i can't format it again :P it gets stucked when I press any button while formatting.
[20:09] <lubuntos> i'll see, i just dont want to change os all the time, i already did 3-4 formats to decide which os to have. but am addicted to ubuntu, especially now with gnome.
[20:09] <lubuntos> had winblows 7 for a bit, then winblows xp, then ubuntu, then lubuntu, now ubuntu gnome :P i will see
[20:10] <roasted> yeah, that's why I try to mess around with VMs whenever possible.
[20:10] <roasted> although having root and home on different partitions helps too
[20:10] <roasted> I can blast a new OS over USB 3.0/SSD in a matter of 3-4 minutes, share out the same home directory, back in business
[20:10] <lubuntos> heheh
[20:11] <lubuntos> I'll buy a new laptop this year, so my main pc would be my laptop. desktop would be only for me, cuz my family doesnt know nada!
[20:12] <lubuntos> roasted, thank you very much
[20:12] <lubuntos> am gonna give it a try
[20:12] <roasted> no problem
[20:12] <roasted> good luck :D
[20:12] <lubuntos> even with 1gb ram
[20:12] <lubuntos> :P
[20:12] <roasted> there's other options out there, by the way
[20:13] <roasted> ones that are Ubuntu based yet not part of the 'official' Ubuntu brand
[20:13] <lubuntos> running through USB and see
[20:13] <roasted> Zorin, elementary OS (personally using this now). Just keep your options open.
[20:13] <lubuntos> i love ubuntu gnome ;p planning to buy more ram one day soon
[20:13] <roasted> there's a distro and desktop environment for everybody :D
[20:13] <SonikkuAmerica> lubuntos: http://downloadmoreram.com/ :) just for lulz
[20:13] <roasted> yeah, I like Gnome a lot too. Solid DE. It has it's times where I find myself elevating to a homicidal rage, but it's far less of an issue than what I experience on KDE or Unity. :P
[20:14] <lubuntos> heheheh
[20:14] <lubuntos> IRC the best help in the world.
[20:14] <lubuntos> I missed when I was 14 :P anyway
[20:14] <roasted> sometimes it's slow, but most times it's nice. :D
[20:15] <lubuntos> i'll give it a try :P have a nice day/night roasted :P here is 22:15 - Cyprus
[20:16] <lubuntos> SonikkuAmerica :P
[20:16] <lubuntos> lol
[20:17] <SonikkuAmerica> lubuntos: :)
[20:18] <lubuntos> good night guys! :P
[20:18] <lubuntos> see you around
