[00:10] anyone using xorg edgers with a 7xxx series AMD card can speak to the quality of the experience? [00:10] namely https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa [00:12] kingbeowolf: i dont, but its pretty easy to try the ppa vs the supported version.. ppa's are not officially supported [00:29] holstein: what do you mean by "its pretty easy" [00:30] kingbeowolf: to add a ppa, and test the drivers you are asking about [00:32] holstein: it could screw things up though no? [00:33] kingbeowolf: what do i do? i have an install, that i literally try all the drivers on. i *always* have *all* my data backed up.. i expect that something might get screwed up using unsupported software on proprietary hardware [00:33] kingbeowolf: i test all the drivers, and config until im comfortable, then i usually do a fresh install [00:35] i have backups but i think it would take forever to reinstall and I only save my home directory not all my install software and stuff [00:35] what do you use ? [00:36] kingbeowolf: generally, i use what works [00:36] kingbeowolf: whats the issue? are you thinking of trying the PPA due to some performance issue? [00:39] holstein: yeah i think the newer AMD drivers will help solve some issues and hopefully give some extra support towards crossfire on the 7950 [00:39] kingbeowolf: you should be able to read if that is true or not [00:39] kingbeowolf: you can add the ppa, and use ppa-purge to purge the drivers [00:40] !info ppa-purge [00:40] ppa-purge (source: ppa-purge): disables a PPA and reverts to official packages. In component universe, is optional.

For example, I chose "ask" for power button and "Nothing" for laptop lid is closed for both AC and Battery, but neither of these are respected. The computer sleeps when I put the lid down and powers off when I hit the power button. Has anyone heard of this? [01:12] autif: sometimes, its as simple as setting those in the place for the power adapter to be plugged, and its on batter, or vice versa [01:13] holstein: yup - i have the same setting for both AC and battery - "Nothing" when lid is closed. Still no joy! [01:35] * j4jackj is stupid [01:36] holstein: Thanks for pointing that out. Enjoy the site. [02:43] hi [02:43] someone there? [03:09] good day! Is there a possibility to put a wine application into the context menu? [03:13] uflaig: just add the application in general, with the command to start it [03:14] http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu [03:14] right [03:21] sorry holstein , got a phonecall! thanks for the tip! I will add a custom item for my menu! [03:32] buenas noches [03:33] !es [03:33] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[05:16] Got details? [05:16] well basically, youtube, for instance, starts a video and stops after a couple of seconds [05:16] this is with adobe flash player [05:18] this is in chromium and firefox [05:19] doesn't really have quite that problem with other distros, for example my backbox seems to play things fine [05:22] okay it starts with no sound, hiccups for a moment and then the generic error comes up [05:25] Have you tried pepperflash? And isn't Backbox based on Xubuntu anyway? [05:25] i was going to ask u what alternative there would be, i'll try pepperflash [05:25] i don't know about backbox being xubuntu based, only that they both use xfce [05:26] if i open the flash console in the video window, it kinda freezes [05:27] i wonder if it's a user issue, adobe flash probably only works with root login only [05:29] can't find pepperflash - is there a repository that it'll show up in? [05:43] "adobe flash probably only works with root login only" Umm, no, just, no. [07:49] Hi, established chromium. When I open a couple of tabs that some of them lost the title. Why is that? :( [07:52] new tabs or previously opened tabs?

I'm trying to use it with our xubuntu image at work, but all I can get is a message with 'unable to load failsafe session' and some yadayada. [13:25] I've tried to start the session with this: https://gist.github.com/redecs/5136841 < [13:25] < but same result [13:25] (aarg, typo-tuesday -_-) [13:28] dreamer, no idea what that is, but there are more people in #ubuntu. Might want to ask there. [13:30] it's a bug with xubuntu, not ubuntu [13:30] x2go is an implentation of nx [13:31] dreamer, OK. over my head, though. sorry. perhaps contacting the xubunt developers [13:32] and here I thought that this was the xubuntu support channel .. [13:32] tis. but we're volunteers and users like you for the most part. developers don't hang out here much [13:33] I'll go to #xubuntu-devel then [13:33] :) [13:33] good luck [13:33] dreamer, please don't. [13:33] have you read the x2go docs? [13:33] yes [13:33] dreamer, it looks like you need to specifically tell x2go to start xfce [13:33] I have [13:34] and also tried xubuntu/xfce specific startup scripts [13:34] have you asked their creators why they don't work? [13:34] it works fine with other desktops. only xfce/xubuntu fails [13:35] yes, they say it should work with xfce. the latest x2goclient has xfce as an option as well [13:35] thus it seems xubuntu specific why it doesn't work [13:35] yes... they say it "should work" [13:35] but mostly I wanted to know if anyone here has experience [13:35] have you tested it with other xfce-based distros?

[20:00] now to create an ext4 partition for the whole table? [20:00] the whole drive [20:00] if that is your aim [20:00] if oyu only want one partition [20:01] yes, whole drive, but do I have to have a partition? a msdos partition? [20:01] no [20:02] partitions are just that. the table is what stores the partitions. [20:02] whats the difference between primary partition and extended partition? [20:02] for example, in a win8 laptop, the table is not msdos/mbr. it's GPT. [20:04] Exactly what the name implies. You can only have about 3 primary partitions on a drive. If you want to cut up the drive more, you make an extended partition to store logical partitions. [20:04] iirc [20:04] 4 primaries - extended at least counts as a primary, and you can have 1 of those [20:05] there is a limit to how many logicals you can have in an extended iirc - but can't remember how many [20:06] depends on disc size [20:07] according to the VDm (virtual disc manager) you can put 1 primary and 4 logicals on a 750 gig disc [20:08] I've had way more than that on smaller drives [20:08] I cannot copy anything onto the new HDD; its all owned by root [20:09] tips?
