[00:09] koell: the default works if both screens are similar resolution. if not, I'd suggest getting arandr [00:20] aptik works like a charm :3 [00:24] koell: When I do go to places for over head projectors, I just check I have ArandR installed :) [00:28] phillw: arandr, xrandr, im confused xD [00:33] koell: if you need two screens on differing sizes, go into LSC and pull in ArandR via the graphics stuff [04:28] 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? [04:44] 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 [11:38] Need help, Lubuntu is not able to resolve .local addresses [11:41] Ok fixed it by installing avahi-daemon [13:58] Do you know a clicki-way to mount a nfs share in pcmanfm? Does pcmanfm support that feature? [14:25] koell: try gigolo [14:25] !info gigolo [14:26] 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] okey thanks =) [14:26] this will mount, and you can navigate in whatever filemanager.. [14:27] sadly, such feature is not integrated in the filemanagers itself [14:28] koell: sure, they are [14:28] pcmanfm? [14:28] koell: you are using lubuntu, with lxde, with "light" choices by default [14:28] i guess a mounting feature is lightweight enough =) [14:28] 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] !mount [14:28] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [14:29] yes cli is easy, but not for my dad :D [14:29] koell: could be, lxde/lubuntu is "not for dad".. [14:29] lol [14:29] a agrue, a new linux user likely shouldnt be mounting nfs shares.. [14:30] shouldnt need to* [14:30] i know about fstab but it is just a temp mount [14:30] maybe samba is better then [16:08] Any gotchas on upgrading to utopic ? [16:15] twager: I've been on it since alpha 1... Love it :) [16:16] lubuntu utopic is a bug fix release only, so bugs are fixed that are not yet rolled into 14.04 [16:16] twager: that does, however, come with the proviso that something like a kernel update could kill things etc. [16:17] phillw, Thanks will set it to upgrade and give it a try..Must move abt 60g music first in case of failure :-) [16:18] always keep a backup! one good little hint is to make a separate /home partition :) [16:21] 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. [16:22] 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. [16:26] phillw: Thanks for all the info will leave now and give it a try.. [16:29] twager: tidy the drive up, and use the extended partition area (should be swap) to add a new area. [16:30] I use LVM, but that's a bit geeky for most people :) [16:31] OK..bbl I hope [17:25] phillw: ? [17:26] twager: you're alive! [17:26] And kicking with a new lubuntu !! [17:27] Upgrade was faultless [17:27] twager: shh... say yes .... [17:28] Must leave box to get my dinner...bbl [19:38] 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] s/dragging and dropping/drag-moving/ [19:39] Also, without Compton, Geeqie's damage handling is horrendously broken. [19:40] The only potentially relevant EE/WW line in Xorg.0.conf is "NVIDIA(0): Option "TwinView" is not used" [19:44] 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] just be patient :) [19:44] phillw: No problem. [19:46] deitarion: your looking out for rafaellugna I think he's have his meal, but he will be back. [19:49] k [19:58] deitarion: it is a driver issue, from my poor memory, what is the card ? [20:02] GeForce GT430 [20:10] deitarion: try http://www.howopensource.com/2012/10/install-nvidia-geforce-driver-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04-using-ppa/ (close the advert) [20:12] 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. [20:14] ...after I finish catching up on certain YouTube vids. [22:16] how to delete chat history from skype in lubuntu [22:18] comics_idees: Wouldn't that be a general "How do I delete the chat history in Skype for Linux version X?" question? [22:19] yes for linux Skype version 4.3 how do I delete chat history [22:20] 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) [22:21] (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.) [22:22] deitarion: did you try the new drivers? [22:22] phillw: Not yet. Too much hassle to end my desktop session right now. [22:23] 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] okies [22:25] well I still need to delete messages from history in skype, how to do this [22:27] comics_idees: All chat history or just some of it? [22:27] comics_idees: http://askubuntu.com/questions/380489/how-to-clear-skype-chat-history [22:28] however the NSA will retain all records [22:40] any popular fps game have a linux version? [22:41] onla_: Define "popular". DOOM, Quake, and various Unreal Tournament games have Linux ports, but I suspect you mean "popular currently". [22:41] ye [22:42] jwas just watching cs:go tournament on finnish tv and mah mates wants we make a team [22:42] just saw that they are developing the linux port [22:43] 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] ch [22:43] I guess I could get idea if I read 10 pages of text [22:43] onla_: PlayOnLinux sets up alternate Wine prefixes. You can still use the default Wine prefix normally. [22:44] 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. [22:45] I seem to remember a fair number of Source engine ports. [22:45] ok [22:46] In fact, if you're not a hard-line Anti-DRMer, Steam is a good place to start looking for Linux stuff, period. [22:47] 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.
