[00:00] <Diagon> *no _matter_ how long I wait.
[00:02] <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
[00:03] <Diagon> Ok, that's a good start.  Thanks for all your help @ericchu!
[00:42] <ByteFlinger> Evening
[00:44] <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?
[00:53] <ByteFlinger_> Nobody?
[00:57] <ByteFlinger_> Great. 3 AM and I have to reinstall the whole OS. Just great.
[05:23] <SamF> Why doesn't the OpenJDK show up in the Gnome software center?  I have to use apt or synaptic if I want it.
[05:25] <jbicha> SamF: gnome-software was designed to only show apps, you have to use a different tool to install or uninstall other software
[05:26] <SamF> What is meant by an "app"?
[05:26] <SamF> A compiler is an application.
[05:27] <jbicha> in this case, an app at least has a .desktop
[05:33] <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.
[05:35] <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.
[05:36] <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
[05:38] <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.
[05:42] <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.
[05:48] <jbicha> you might not be able to use the webcam
[05:49] <jbicha> I googled and found this page: https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie
[05:50] <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
[05:53] <SamF> To get that to work, do I have to recompile the kernel and include that code?
[05:57] <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
[05:59] <jbicha> I'm just guessing (hopefully an educated guess)
[11:02] <LinDol> hi all
