| phillw | koell: the default works if both screens are similar resolution. if not, I'd suggest getting arandr | 00:09 |
|---|---|---|
| koell | aptik works like a charm :3 | 00:20 |
| phillw | koell: When I do go to places for over head projectors, I just check I have ArandR installed :) | 00:24 |
| koell | phillw: arandr, xrandr, im confused xD | 00:28 |
| phillw | koell: if you need two screens on differing sizes, go into LSC and pull in ArandR via the graphics stuff | 00:33 |
| indn1234 | Yo guys, I wanna disable the ubuntu style scrolling on my lubuntu-desktop environment, and go back to old school scrolling side bars. Can I do that? How? | 04:28 |
| MeXTuX | Installed Compton and used this configuration http://www.ivegotavirus.com/how-to-finally-fix-visual-tearing-on-xubuntu-other-ubuntu-based-distros/ but the main menu disappears. Any idea? My graphics card is a Sumo [Radeon HD 6480G] and installed propietary drivers | 04:44 |
| ripthejacker | Need help, Lubuntu is not able to resolve .local addresses | 11:38 |
| ripthejacker | Ok fixed it by installing avahi-daemon | 11:41 |
| koell | Do you know a clicki-way to mount a nfs share in pcmanfm? Does pcmanfm support that feature? | 13:58 |
| holstein | koell: try gigolo | 14:25 |
| holstein | !info gigolo | 14:25 |
| ubottu | gigolo (source: gigolo): frontend to manage connections to remote filesystems using GIO/GVfs. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.2-1 (trusty), package size 130 kB, installed size 1001 kB | 14:26 |
| koell | okey thanks =) | 14:26 |
| holstein | this will mount, and you can navigate in whatever filemanager.. | 14:26 |
| koell | sadly, such feature is not integrated in the filemanagers itself | 14:27 |
| holstein | koell: sure, they are | 14:28 |
| koell | pcmanfm? | 14:28 |
| holstein | koell: you are using lubuntu, with lxde, with "light" choices by default | 14:28 |
| koell | i guess a mounting feature is lightweight enough =) | 14:28 |
| holstein | if you want to make a compromise for something heavier, with the functionality you want, you can.. or, use gigolo, which is quite light..or mount in the CLI | 14:28 |
| holstein | !mount | 14:28 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 14:28 |
| koell | yes cli is easy, but not for my dad :D | 14:29 |
| holstein | koell: could be, lxde/lubuntu is "not for dad".. | 14:29 |
| koell | lol | 14:29 |
| holstein | a agrue, a new linux user likely shouldnt be mounting nfs shares.. | 14:29 |
| holstein | shouldnt need to* | 14:30 |
| koell | i know about fstab but it is just a temp mount | 14:30 |
| koell | maybe samba is better then | 14:30 |
| twager | Any gotchas on upgrading to utopic ? | 16:08 |
| phillw | twager: I've been on it since alpha 1... Love it :) | 16:15 |
| phillw | lubuntu utopic is a bug fix release only, so bugs are fixed that are not yet rolled into 14.04 | 16:16 |
| phillw | twager: that does, however, come with the proviso that something like a kernel update could kill things etc. | 16:16 |
| twager | phillw, Thanks will set it to upgrade and give it a try..Must move abt 60g music first in case of failure :-) | 16:17 |
| phillw | always keep a backup! one good little hint is to make a separate /home partition :) | 16:18 |
| twager | I have a spare external drive I keep all my rubbish on..I have 4 partitions already on this drive so no room for a seperate home. | 16:21 |
| phillw | twager: if you're going to run 14.10, then have a read of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing and join that mailing list. | 16:22 |
| twager | phillw: Thanks for all the info will leave now and give it a try.. | 16:26 |
| phillw | twager: tidy the drive up, and use the extended partition area (should be swap) to add a new area. | 16:29 |
| phillw | I use LVM, but that's a bit geeky for most people :) | 16:30 |
| twager | OK..bbl I hope | 16:31 |
| twager | phillw: ? | 17:25 |
| phillw | twager: you're alive! | 17:26 |
| twager | And kicking with a new lubuntu !! | 17:26 |
| twager | Upgrade was faultless | 17:27 |
| phillw | twager: shh... say yes .... | 17:27 |
| twager | Must leave box to get my dinner...bbl | 17:28 |
| deitarion | Dragging and dropping VDPAU-mode MPlayer or Chromium is horrendously slow and laggy with or without compton. I'm running nvidia-current. Is this regression since 12.04 a known issue? | 19:38 |
| deitarion | s/dragging and dropping/drag-moving/ | 19:38 |
| deitarion | Also, without Compton, Geeqie's damage handling is horrendously broken. | 19:39 |
| deitarion | The only potentially relevant EE/WW line in Xorg.0.conf is "NVIDIA(0): Option "TwinView" is not used" | 19:40 |
| phillw | deitarion: can you hang on, a guy I know who is good at this issue has been paged and will be along when he gets chance. | 19:44 |
| phillw | just be patient :) | 19:44 |
| deitarion | phillw: No problem. | 19:44 |
| phillw | deitarion: your looking out for rafaellugna I think he's have his meal, but he will be back. | 19:46 |
| deitarion | k | 19:49 |
| phillw | deitarion: it is a driver issue, from my poor memory, what is the card ? | 19:58 |
| deitarion | GeForce GT430 | 20:02 |
| phillw | deitarion: try http://www.howopensource.com/2012/10/install-nvidia-geforce-driver-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04-using-ppa/ (close the advert) | 20:10 |
| deitarion | If it's just a matter of installing a newer driver, then I'll try switching from `nvidia-current` to `nvidia-331` first. The fewer PPAs I need, the less I have to keep track of. | 20:12 |
| deitarion | ...after I finish catching up on certain YouTube vids. | 20:14 |
| comics_idees | how to delete chat history from skype in lubuntu | 22:16 |
| deitarion | comics_idees: Wouldn't that be a general "How do I delete the chat history in Skype for Linux version X?" question? | 22:18 |
| comics_idees | yes for linux Skype version 4.3 how do I delete chat history | 22:19 |
| deitarion | comics_idees: Unfortunately, I can't answer that one because I'm still on Skype 2.2 beta. (The last version of Skype that works without PulseAudio) | 22:20 |
| deitarion | (After about half a dozen "it's better now"s, I gave up on that pile of bugs and adopted an "ALSA dmix only" policy.) | 22:21 |
| phillw | deitarion: did you try the new drivers? | 22:22 |
| deitarion | phillw: Not yet. Too much hassle to end my desktop session right now. | 22:22 |
| deitarion | I'll probably batch up a whole bunch of fixes I need to test first. (stuff like moving all my autostarts out of lxsession so they actually work) | 22:23 |
| phillw | okies | 22:23 |
| comics_idees | well I still need to delete messages from history in skype, how to do this | 22:25 |
| deitarion | comics_idees: All chat history or just some of it? | 22:27 |
| phillw | comics_idees: http://askubuntu.com/questions/380489/how-to-clear-skype-chat-history | 22:27 |
| phillw | however the NSA will retain all records | 22:28 |
| onla_ | any popular fps game have a linux version? | 22:40 |
| deitarion | onla_: Define "popular". DOOM, Quake, and various Unreal Tournament games have Linux ports, but I suspect you mean "popular currently". | 22:41 |
| onla_ | ye | 22:41 |
| onla_ | jwas just watching cs:go tournament on finnish tv and mah mates wants we make a team | 22:42 |
| onla_ | just saw that they are developing the linux port | 22:42 |
| onla_ | also world of tanks would be of interest, but the wine tutorial was only if I didnt have win already installed which I have in form of playonlinux so no idea how to approad | 22:43 |
| onla_ | ch | 22:43 |
| onla_ | I guess I could get idea if I read 10 pages of text | 22:43 |
| deitarion | onla_: PlayOnLinux sets up alternate Wine prefixes. You can still use the default Wine prefix normally. | 22:43 |
| deitarion | Anyway, I'm not big on FPS games (the last ones I played were probably Half-Life, the original Unreal Tournament, and Tribes 2) but, if you're not a hardline anti-DRMer like me, I'd check out what Steam has to offer. | 22:44 |
| deitarion | I seem to remember a fair number of Source engine ports. | 22:45 |
| onla_ | ok | 22:45 |
| deitarion | In fact, if you're not a hard-line Anti-DRMer, Steam is a good place to start looking for Linux stuff, period. | 22:46 |
| deitarion | At least half my IsThereAnyDeal.com waitlist is stuff where I'm not actually waiting for a price, but for a sale from a store that doesn't do Steam keys. | 22:47 |
