| ericchu | Diagon, the login prompt is called gdm. Searching "gdm dual monitor" on google has some results which may help. I wouldn't be able to help you myself on this one though | 00:02 |
| Diagon | Ok, that's a good start. Thanks for all your help @ericchu! | 00:03 |
| ByteFlinger | Evening | 00:42 |
| ByteFlinger | Can anybody lend me some help. I had my drive setup with ecryptfs in the home partition and I have now removed ecryptfs. I expected to have everything removed however the one thing I didnt expect is to have the system missconfigured. My terminal is now white background and black letters instead of the default dark background and green prompt | 00:44 |
| ByteFlinger | How can I reset the terminal to default. Do I really need to reinstall the entire OS just to get the defaults? | 00:44 |
| ByteFlinger_ | Nobody? | 00:53 |
| ByteFlinger_ | Great. 3 AM and I have to reinstall the whole OS. Just great. | 00:57 |
| SamF | Why doesn't the OpenJDK show up in the Gnome software center? I have to use apt or synaptic if I want it. | 05:23 |
| jbicha | SamF: gnome-software was designed to only show apps, you have to use a different tool to install or uninstall other software | 05:25 |
| SamF | What is meant by an "app"? | 05:26 |
| SamF | A compiler is an application. | 05:26 |
| jbicha | in this case, an app at least has a .desktop | 05:27 |
| SamF | The system is quite nice. I like better than plain Ubuntu's unity. Just have to get used to it. I'm learning linux to escape Apple's walled garden while keeping unix command line tools. | 05:33 |
| jbicha | Ubuntu used to use software-center (still available for install, although it looks a bit off in Ubuntu GNOME I think) | 05:35 |
| jbicha | which showed all the packages including libraries, development tools, etc. | 05:35 |
| SamF | What does plain Ubuntu used now? | 05:36 |
| SamF | I've only seen it in videos. Someone told me to get Ubuntu Gnome as training wheels for Fedora. | 05:36 |
| jbicha | they use gnome-software too | 05:36 |
| jbicha | I think the intent is for GNOME Software to be very good at installing apps and all of that other stuff would just get in the way | 05:38 |
| SamF | I can already see the design philosophy. | 05:38 |
| SamF | Everything does one sensible thing. | 05:38 |
| SamF | Now, I'm running Ubuntu Gnome on a late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina using a live USB stick. I've noticed two issues. One is that my webcam does not work and the other is that my laptop runs warm. | 05:42 |
| jbicha | you might not be able to use the webcam | 05:48 |
| jbicha | I googled and found this page: https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie | 05:49 |
| jbicha | you'll probably get a little better performance once you install Ubuntu on to your hard drive but I don't know if that will help with the heat or not | 05:50 |
| SamF | To get that to work, do I have to recompile the kernel and include that code? | 05:53 |
| jbicha | not really | 05:57 |
| jbicha | (I don't have a Macbook) | 05:57 |
| jbicha | you might be able to use https://launchpad.net/~psanford/+archive/ubuntu/facetimehd/ | 05:57 |
| jbicha | and you have to extract the firmware as mentioned on https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/wiki/Get-Started | 05:57 |
| jbicha | I'm just guessing (hopefully an educated guess) | 05:59 |
