| RepThis1 | Hey guys, just finished installing ubuntu-gnome-14.04.3 LTS and was wonder why i cant drag my windows to one monitor, but to another i can. Hold for img. | 10:00 |
|---|---|---|
| RepThis1 | http://imgur.com/IxyVShW cant drag to the green monitor, @ the top, below i can though. | 10:02 |
| RepThis1 | must have something to do with the top notification/menu bar? | 10:03 |
| darkxst | RepThis1, monitors vertical stacked? | 10:18 |
| darkxst | with primary on bottom? | 10:18 |
| RepThis1 | vertical stack with primary in center, like a wonderful oreo. | 10:19 |
| darkxst | I think that is fixed in 15.10, but not something we can backport to 14.04 | 10:19 |
| RepThis1 | damn, already hating ubuntu and wanting my fedora! | 10:20 |
| darkxst | the titlebar has a strut, that blocks windows | 10:20 |
| RepThis1 | damn you vmware! | 10:20 |
| darkxst | its nothing to do with vmware | 10:20 |
| RepThis1 | yeah figure it had sumin to do with that | 10:20 |
| RepThis1 | darkxst: no but vmware has to do with me using gnome on ubuntu :D | 10:20 |
| RepThis1 | or i should say using ubuntu. | 10:21 |
| darkxst | then use the latest, you can't compare an UBuntu LTS release to fedora! | 10:21 |
| darkxst | an old LTS release at that. | 10:24 |
| RepThis1 | latest gnome or latest ubuntu? | 10:29 |
| darkxst | latest ubuntu 15.10 or even 16.04 devel | 10:29 |
| RepThis1 | lol.....idk, i mean i never tried the non lts cause it always seemed to give me monitor problems in the past. | 10:30 |
| RepThis1 | even then this lts install didnt work as well as fedora did, fedora was effortless and beautiful. | 10:31 |
| darkxst | monitor problems? | 10:32 |
| RepThis1 | for 1, when i startup my machine i get 2 grey boxes on two screens for ~10seconds then it finally boots, also seems to reset my monitor placement as well. | 10:33 |
| RepThis1 | when rearranging on 1-2 recent occasions it changes the background to some ugly blue background. | 10:33 |
| RepThis1 | having a firefox issue, going to restart. | 10:34 |
| RepThis1 | back. | 10:36 |
| RepThis1 | maybe i will just have to deal with working with a horizontal monitor setup then. | 10:36 |
| RepThis1 | ive lost like a day just messing with this stuff, frustrating. | 10:37 |
| darkxst | I have never seen either of those issues, and the vertical issue was a long standing GNOME bug | 10:41 |
| darkxst | and really without any context of what ubuntu/gnome versions I can't even help, other than to say gnome has evolved a long way since what is in 14.04 | 10:41 |
| RepThis1 | what version is on 15.10, 3.18? | 10:42 |
| darkxst | 3.16, but 3.18 is on gnome3-staging ppa | 10:42 |
| RepThis1 | what is staging, like a beta. Not a big fan of stuff if it brings me instability, unless the aditions are quite nice. | 10:43 |
| darkxst | at this point is pretty stable, it brings you GNOME 3.18 on 15.10 | 10:45 |
| darkxst | during the development cycle, it can be less unstable (So Xenial series now) | 10:46 |
| darkxst | s/less/more/ | 10:46 |
| RepThis1 | Xenial is a codename? | 10:54 |
| darkxst | yes, Xenial is to be 16.04 | 10:55 |
| RepThis1 | oh your talking about ubuntu | 10:55 |
| darkxst | that in itself should be mostly stable now, but gnome3-staging for xenial, will probably break soon | 10:56 |
| RepThis1 | yeah, im not gonna mess with xenial considering i dont even know the process for reporting bugs so it would be futile. | 10:57 |
| darkxst | anyway I have to go | 10:58 |
| RepThis1 | darkxst: thx for the help, ill just try 15.10 as a last resort, otherwise f22 | 10:58 |
| RepThis1 | oh damn...no vmware support for 15.10.... | 11:07 |
| darkxst | RepThis1, 12.1 should work | 11:08 |
| RepThis1 | 15.04 works, and theres a gnome release for it | 11:08 |
| RepThis1 | can i put 3.18 on that from staging? | 11:08 |
| darkxst | no | 11:09 |
| darkxst | vmware 12.0 works with `env VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=1 /usr/bin/vmware` | 11:09 |
| RepThis1 | darkxst: im pretty sure though that hardware accelleration wont work if i do that, otherwise i wouldnt be here to begin with and still using f23 | 11:09 |
| darkxst | it works | 11:11 |
| darkxst | fedora had (still has) other issues in addition | 11:11 |
| RepThis1 | 12.0 works but 12.1 wont? | 11:12 |
| darkxst | 12.1 works with no hacks | 11:13 |
| darkxst | on ubuntu, but not fedora | 11:13 |
| darkxst | really gtg | 11:13 |
| RepThis1 | k | 11:14 |
| Sicnus | what's the default password for ubuntu user on the Live cd? | 12:43 |
| mgedmin | Sicnus, blank, but the default user on the ubuntu-gnome livecd has username 'ubuntu-gnome', not 'ubuntu' | 13:36 |
| Sicnus | mgedmin, yeah.... figured out the username wasn't ubuntu but ubuntu-gnome | 14:05 |
