[03:15] <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?
[04:03] <darkxst> Mia what gpu/drivers are you using?
[04:13] <Mia> darkxst, I2m running ubuntu gnome on a virtual machine (virtualbox)
[04:13] <darkxst> its probably a virtualbox bug
[05:30] <Mia> hmm I see
[05:30] <Mia> well one more question
[05:31] <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?
[05:46] <darkxst> Mia no, that is only possible on Ubuntu
[05:46] <darkxst> (Unity)
[05:47] <Mia> hm ok thanks!
[08:37] <berglh> Mia: if you want pretty mac looking stuff, maybe you should try elementaryos
[08:37] <berglh> just an idea
[08:39] <berglh> although it's not trying to be as much of a mac clone as the link you provided
[08:46] <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
[08:47] <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
[08:48] <berglh> i'm am very content with ubuntu gnome
[08:48] <darkxst> mac os X copied GNOME ;)
[08:48] <berglh> :P
[08:49] <Mia> lol
[08:49] <Mia> how so
[08:50] <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
[08:51] <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
[08:52] <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
[08:53] <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
[08:54] <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)
[08:55] <berglh> i'd give it a go
[08:55] <berglh> but then i'm a sucker for punishment
[08:57] <darkxst> berglh, you want punishment try using a T400 these days!
[08:57] <darkxst> perfect linux support, but oh so slow
[08:58] <berglh> i'm a it professional darkxst, not a paleontologist..
[08:59] <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
[09:00] <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
[09:01] <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
[09:02] <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
[09:03] <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
[09:04] <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"
[09:05] <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
[09:07] <darkxst> jjjasper, just starting to feel its age
[09:07] <jjjasper> ssd time :)
[09:07] <jjjasper> feels like new
[09:07] <jjjasper> ish
[09:08] <darkxst> jjjasper, lol, actually have a couple of them in post on the way here soon
[09:09] <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
[13:05] <Mia> hey all -- what does this setting do http://i.imgur.com/VReiswk.png
[13:19] <Mia> okay I now realized my compizconfig settings are not working
[13:19] <Mia> for some reason
