[02:01] <Guest85596> who?
[02:02] <Guest85596> AAh that's me.
[02:04] <Guest85596> can someone tell me how to convert the Galaxy tab3 8" tablet from Android to Ubuntu 14.XX
[02:05] <ibeardslee> not if you don't hang around
[02:09] <gondor33> Hi ,
[02:10] <ibeardslee> Didn't know you could.
[02:11] <ibeardslee> .. but the things you learn from google eh?
[02:13] <gondor33> I've sent a few messages about Galaxy tab 3  8" tablet conversion from Android to Ubuntu. Being new on this message board, Ive cut myself off once or twice as a guest.
[02:14] <ibeardslee> IRC is not really a message board
[02:15] <gondor33> It's a similar thing
[02:17] <ibeardslee> Anyway, I think google will be your friend there.  Seem to be a good number of posts about it .. or at least devices similar .. may not be your particular model.
[02:18] <gondor33> anyway can someone advise me with some technical help?
[02:19] <ibeardslee> maybe, what help are you asking about?
[02:22] <gondor33> read my 14:13 message!
[02:22] <ibeardslee> hmm my 14:17 message is my response to that
[02:23] <ibeardslee> how far have you got?
[02:28] <gondor33> Nowhere,yet.
[02:37] <gondor33>  This appears to be of no help to me.  Thanks, anyway. Cheers
[02:44]  * olly rolls eyes
[02:44] <ibeardslee> heh .. I've got a problem, I haven't done anything about it, you are of no help, I'm going.
[02:45] <olly> indeed
[02:46] <olly> is 14.04 supposed to have a toolbar thing along the top with volume control, wifi status, a way to suspend/reboot/etc?
[02:46] <olly> after a double upgrade via 12.04, I don't have one
[02:46] <olly> and I have to start the unity dock by hand
[02:47] <olly> overall, I'm underwhelmed by the upgrade experience - both of them failed and I had to continue by hand, which is probably why it's hosed
[02:49] <ibeardslee> yes
[02:50] <olly> any idea what the program is called which does that toolbar thing?
[02:50] <ibeardslee> try creating a new user and log in as them to check that everything really is working as expected
[02:50] <olly> oh, that's a thought
[02:51] <ibeardslee> I had someone with a similar problem, although well after an upgrade.
[02:51] <olly> also need to figure out how to put the window buttons back on the right side, as it seems to have overwritten that
[02:51] <olly> and most of the other custom settings
[02:51] <ibeardslee> removed ~/.config and reset all the unity stuff to default.
[02:53] <olly> hmm, if I have to lose all the config, I might as well reinstall
[02:53] <ibeardslee> I wonder if there is just an old custom tweak that is just clashing with the 14.04 settings
[04:31] <chilts> ibeardslee: you tried so ++ on that (which is more than can be said for the original asker)
[04:36] <chilts> so yeah, I didn't realise, perhaps I should put Ubuntu Touch onto my old Nexus 7
[04:36] <chilts> seeing as the 5.x release of Android has pretty much hosed it into being unusable
[19:16] <ibeardslee> morning
