| Mia | Hey all, the shados of the day/time on my lock screen are messed up http://i.imgur.com/Q6LhnHs.png --- how can I fix this? | 03:15 |
|---|---|---|
| darkxst | Mia what gpu/drivers are you using? | 04:03 |
| Mia | darkxst, I2m running ubuntu gnome on a virtual machine (virtualbox) | 04:13 |
| darkxst | its probably a virtualbox bug | 04:13 |
| Mia | hmm I see | 05:30 |
| Mia | well one more question | 05:30 |
| Mia | is it possible to enable global menu bar (at top, like this one http://i.stack.imgur.com/73aX2.png) for ubuntu gnome latest version? | 05:31 |
| === dax is now known as daxcat | ||
| darkxst | Mia no, that is only possible on Ubuntu | 05:46 |
| darkxst | (Unity) | 05:46 |
| Mia | hm ok thanks! | 05:47 |
| berglh | Mia: if you want pretty mac looking stuff, maybe you should try elementaryos | 08:37 |
| berglh | just an idea | 08:37 |
| berglh | although it's not trying to be as much of a mac clone as the link you provided | 08:39 |
| Mia | berglh, I've tried it, it's nice overall but I don2t want to depend on alpha stuff | 08:46 |
| Mia | ubuntu is much more mature | 08:46 |
| Mia | also I'm not that much into oldskool apple aesthetics tbh | 08:46 |
| berglh | Mia: it is a ubuntu fork | 08:46 |
| berglh | fyi | 08:47 |
| Mia | yes but the theme is weird | 08:47 |
| Mia | and you can't even customize it any way | 08:47 |
| berglh | i'm not saying to use it | 08:47 |
| berglh | i'm am very content with ubuntu gnome | 08:48 |
| darkxst | mac os X copied GNOME ;) | 08:48 |
| berglh | :P | 08:48 |
| Mia | lol | 08:49 |
| Mia | how so | 08:49 |
| berglh | i actually run ubutnu gnome on a macbook, i tell you, that's asking for trouble running linux on mac hardware | 08:50 |
| Mia | Well gnome is not looking bad overall, but since it does not have a global menu, I'm forcing myself to go to unity | 08:50 |
| berglh | that is a pretty cool feature of unity | 08:51 |
| berglh | i mean, i like the alt search thing to get your menu opitons | 08:51 |
| Mia | berglh, oh is it so bad? I have a 2009 macbook, I'm right now uusing ubuntu on a virtualbox, but the actual reason was to decided what I'm going to use and then install it on that mc | 08:51 |
| Mia | is this a bad idea? | 08:51 |
| berglh | uhh, will probably be fine | 08:51 |
| berglh | i have a 2015 MBP | 08:51 |
| berglh | a bunch of stuff doesn't work | 08:52 |
| berglh | like backlight brightness control | 08:52 |
| berglh | doesn't wake from sleep | 08:52 |
| berglh | half of the 5 GHz wifi frequency band dosn't work | 08:52 |
| berglh | if i plug my thunderbolt display in after i've booted the machine it doesn't allow me to use the display aspect | 08:53 |
| berglh | i could go one | 08:53 |
| berglh | on* | 08:53 |
| berglh | they are all kernel bugs though | 08:53 |
| berglh | so nothing to do with ubuntu specifically | 08:53 |
| berglh | i would imagine a 2009 MB would be well supported | 08:53 |
| berglh | running it in virtual box is not testing the hardware support at all | 08:54 |
| berglh | however, it's fast, the display is nice, the hardware is great (when it's working) | 08:54 |
| berglh | i'd give it a go | 08:55 |
| berglh | but then i'm a sucker for punishment | 08:55 |
| darkxst | berglh, you want punishment try using a T400 these days! | 08:57 |
| darkxst | perfect linux support, but oh so slow | 08:57 |
| berglh | i'm a it professional darkxst, not a paleontologist.. | 08:58 |
| berglh | i jest | 08:59 |
| berglh | that's the trade off | 08:59 |
| darkxst | I need to update, but most of my dev work is on the monster desktop | 08:59 |
| berglh | i had a bunch of functionality regression with linux 4.x | 09:00 |
| berglh | but i want the latest software features over better hardware support | 09:00 |
| darkxst | Macbook specific? | 09:00 |
| berglh | yep | 09:00 |
| berglh | there are kernel bugs up for everything | 09:00 |
| berglh | there are some patches i could try but i need to roll my own ubuntu kernel | 09:01 |
| darkxst | I don't think many kernel dev's use macbooks! | 09:01 |
| darkxst | berglh, that is not that hard! | 09:01 |
| berglh | yeah, i have cloned the ubuntu git repo | 09:01 |
| berglh | i think that was the waiting part | 09:02 |
| darkxst | kernel takes what 6mins to build | 09:02 |
| berglh | i just need to patch the driver files and compile / build the debs | 09:02 |
| darkxst | webkit takes about 3 hours! | 09:02 |
| berglh | eww | 09:02 |
| berglh | i haven't done it before, so learning curve | 09:03 |
| berglh | the just provided the diff, and the instructions for applying the patch with the patch tool thing didn't work. i can edit the files by hand | 09:03 |
| berglh | they didn't supply instructions, i'm just reading some other ubuntu post on rolling your kernel and applying patches | 09:04 |
| darkxst | I thought the kernel team had scripts to handle kernel patches?' | 09:04 |
| berglh | there are apt-get packages for it | 09:04 |
| berglh | i think the package is actually called "patch" | 09:04 |
| jjjasper | what's wrong with t400's? | 09:05 |
| jjjasper | assuming thinkpad | 09:05 |
| berglh | but the instruction i had didn't work for the diff | 09:05 |
| berglh | so i need to figure that bit out | 09:05 |
| darkxst | jjjasper, just starting to feel its age | 09:07 |
| jjjasper | ssd time :) | 09:07 |
| jjjasper | feels like new | 09:07 |
| jjjasper | ish | 09:07 |
| darkxst | jjjasper, lol, actually have a couple of them in post on the way here soon | 09:08 |
| jjjasper | greatly helps | 09:09 |
| darkxst | but I do need also something with more current tech, hybrid graphics, hidpi, touchscreen what not, its really hard trying to fix issues with those without any hardware | 09:09 |
| jjjasper | guessing so | 09:09 |
| jjjasper | disk io = worst offender on older machines | 09:09 |
| jjjasper | imho | 09:09 |
| Mia | hey all -- what does this setting do http://i.imgur.com/VReiswk.png | 13:05 |
| Mia | okay I now realized my compizconfig settings are not working | 13:19 |
| Mia | for some reason | 13:19 |
