=== fb is now known as Guest89449 [00:06] Good evening, looking for a tool like 'NeatMouse' for Ubuntu Linux. (btw. it's a great OS, thank you!) [00:07] hi Guest89449 [00:08] because my left mouse button is dying and i just need a tool which can map keyboard-keys to mouse buttons. Thanks. [00:08] btw. Hi [00:08] Hm, that's an unusual goal [00:08] Not sure if such a thing exists [00:09] i once managed to have such a thing in Lucid but cant remember where i found it :( [00:09] it mapped just the keypad-5 to the left button [00:09] Guest89449, see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MouseCustomizations [00:09] thanks [00:12] if i change the xorg.conf accordingly does the mouse-movement still work? [00:12] and would i have 3 buttons then [00:13] because i only need the buttons replaced (the movement is still okay) [00:14] I don't know, I've never tried [00:18] hm.. i would very much prefer not to change any sys-config files and instead let a GUI-utility take care of this [00:19] because i dont want to mess up my working Ubuntu system [00:19] and i'm no linux-geek either [00:20] <- coming from windows 7 [00:21] (..and coming back to Ubuntu after a windows-phase) [00:25] Guest89449, maybe you can ask on our forums, better visibility. [00:35] Anyone else have the problem of the Pi freezing up when trying to do the first 1st update on Mate? [00:45] AceRadCat, maybe you'll have better luck asking on our forums. [01:00] i just discovered the key-combination shift-num, yay! but this seems to only give me an alternate key for the 1st mouse button, i havent discovered keys for the other ones.. [01:02] if one wants to move a gadget inside the border-bars one needs the 3rd mouse button iirc [01:03] i remember that there was a possibility to simulate a 3rd-click by clicking the 2 primary buttons concurrently [01:04] ..if the mouse only had 2 buttons [01:07] wow i just made another discovery: i can switch the button-mode via /*- on the NumPad [01:09] yeah, even the middle mouse-button is now usable for me! (i have only a 2-button mouse) [01:09] (the 3-button laser-mouse is out-of-order) [05:57] Hi, just installed Ubuntu Mate. Everything seems to work, but I caja is lagging majorly. [05:58] Is it possible to install an alternative and transfer all responsibilities away from caja? [06:06] steven_: caja normally doesn't lag, do you have any weird folders that would make it lag? [06:07] Like, remote samba folders, or usb sticks with issues, or badly formatted ntfs volumes, or folders with large media files... [06:09] No, don't think so. [06:23] hm it seems to work fine if I wait a few minutes after booting up [06:28] After booting up, run `top` and check which process eats up your cpu === ubuntu is now known as Guest91533 [07:43] Hello [08:03] Hello [08:09] olleH [11:04] hi there, know somebody if there is a program for ubuntu mate to fix and recover a hard drive? thanks beforehand;) [11:10] locuaz, same as Ubuntu. fsck, photorec, etc [11:10] locuaz, no backup? [11:10] is an external hard drive , no backup [11:11] ill check those , thanks;) [11:11] locuaz, you're in for some pain [11:12] locuaz, recovery software doesn't recover things like file names, just FYI. [11:12] Also, you better have multiple partitions on that external drive, because if you've got une single 2TB partition it's gonna take a week. [11:12] karpersky maybe does? [11:13] what? [11:14] u know this antivirus karpersky, is got a tool .. well anyway ill try everything before i loose the hard drive [11:15] My advice is: unless you've got data on there you absolutely can't live without, accept the loss, remember the lesson, and move on. [11:15] yes it will take long thats for sure [11:16] yea you right, thanks;) [11:16] At the end of the recovery you'll get one directory with every single file recovered inside, with randomly assigned names. [11:16] Then you'll have to open each one to see what's in it. [11:16] It's a massive PITA. [11:16] uffff [11:17] ok here i go with the story: [11:18] my harddrive is got 2 partitions [11:18] both nfts [11:18] and i try to install linux in 1 but no instead linux wrap the whole hard drive [11:19] and somehow the files are still there cause i saw them with a cheap Partition manager recover tool [11:20] wich took me 2 days to run [11:20] thet was it.. [11:20] locuaz: then why not copy any wanted files to another [internal?] drive first? [11:21] the f... cheap tool doesnt allow me to do that when is over a tb [11:22] thats why im looking for programs open source [11:23] gparted, partmanager, clonezilla even [11:24] i will check those. thanks again;) [11:24] ;-) [15:16] Anyone able to explain how to change the skin on the my-weather-indicator widget? [16:13] am I right in thinking if you *don't* pick 'Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware, Flash, MP3 and other media' that we should find multiverse and restricted are not enabled? === ed is now known as Guest56967 [16:55] Lantizia: I believe restricted extras is what you want for flash mp3 etc [17:11] hi all - is there a current bug in chromium for mate on a raspberry pi? it will install but will not launch === CptLoveNipple is now known as CptLoveNipple[DE === CptLoveNipple[DE is now known as CptLveNppl[DEN] === CptLveNppl[DEN] is now known as CptLoveNipple [17:29] linux-masochist the browser isn't recommended in 1gb [17:29] i use laptop for browsing, mate on pi, for everything else [17:30] nomic - Thanks - Alas my current devices are only an android phone and a pi [17:31] just trying to get a browser that will playback html5 vids for a course that i am doing [17:31] well [17:31] i use youtube-dl [17:31] to play thru omxplayer , mate on the pi [17:31] youtube-dl youtube url [17:32] omxplayer to play everything [17:32] yes - i think that's the best bet for me - they are only small vids [17:32] thanks again [17:32] i've got youtube live thru livestreamer > omxplayer tho [17:32] is actually better than browser [17:32] livestreamer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y60wDzZt8yg best --player omxplayer --fifo --player-args "{filename}" [17:33] gets me sky news [17:33] live [17:33] just got the 'i will make this work' bit between my teeth [17:33] in HD [17:33] url = any url (live stream) [17:33] wow -sounds good - will give it a whirl [17:33] livestreamer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y60wDzZt8yg best --player omxplayer --fifo --player-args "--win \"1000 600 1920 1200\" {filename}" [17:33] ^ puts it in a window [17:45] Help, there's something wrong with galculator. Inputting 9-3+0.01*200+0.0005*4000 in formulaic entry gives 6, but it should be 10!!! [18:24] Langley: it gave me 10, did you enter it right? [18:26] Guess not, even though I checked it many times [18:30] Hey im trying to figure out if a software works on mate 16.04 [18:30] but im confused by the platform list [18:30] http://support.sas.com/supportos/list?requestAction=summary&outputView=sasrelease&sasrelease=&platformGroup=UNIX&platformName=Linux+64-bit [18:31] which one is MATE? [18:32] Matecrayo, none [18:32] those are linux distros, not desktop environments of choice [18:32] so i should be lookingfor ubuntu? [18:32] yes [18:33] (16.04 is a ubuntu version and mate is only one desktop environment and they don't usually limit what software you can run or not) [18:34] that sounds like some proprietary corporation product and they probably test and package it only for those listed distros, closed source [18:34] so you will have probably painful time if you don't choose something they support officially :) [18:39] Where are the pre-loaded wallpapers stored? [18:45] usr/share/backgrounds i thinnk [22:02] Help, I have set the program redshift to start automatically, but it doesn't work. It starts but it doesn't have any effect (tinting the screen) [22:02] If I kill it and start it manually it works fine [22:06] Langley, you know the command line executed when you start it manually? [22:06] Yeah it's just redshift [22:06] No arguments or anything [22:08] have you tried autostart with the full path as returned by `which redshift` ? [22:09] Nope, I'll try that [22:18] Another thing, is there any program that can solve simple equations
