| lrojas | hi all | 12:37 |
|---|---|---|
| lrojas | in preparation to the switch of ubuntu from unity + mir to gnome | 12:38 |
| lrojas | i would like to switch now to xubuntu | 12:38 |
| lrojas | what is the best way to transform ubuntu 16.10 to xubuntu 16.10 ? | 12:38 |
| pmjdebruijn | uhm | 12:40 |
| pmjdebruijn | mir was never used outside of mobile | 12:40 |
| pmjdebruijn | sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop (probably) | 12:40 |
| pmjdebruijn | never tried it myself though | 12:40 |
| lrojas | ok, my mistake, i thought mir was going to be the base for unity 8 | 12:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | it was | 12:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | but current unity is just on plain xorg | 12:41 |
| lrojas | but my question is still valid i think... how do i turn ubuntu into xubuntu? | 12:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | see the apt line | 12:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | I would probably just reinstall though | 12:41 |
| lrojas | what is the apt line? | 12:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | 14:40 < pmjdebruijn> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop (probably) | 12:42 |
| pmjdebruijn | not sure if that switches everything over | 12:42 |
| lrojas | reinstalling is a difficult proposition as i have a ton of setup and configuration files that would be a pita to move, plus this is the work computer | 12:42 |
| pmjdebruijn | heh... whatever you want | 12:43 |
| stevehope | upgrade in place | 12:43 |
| pmjdebruijn | he's going from same version to same version | 12:44 |
| pmjdebruijn | so that likely won't be any different from aptting xubuntu-desktop | 12:44 |
| lrojas | i saw this link that sort of explains it for 16.04 | 12:45 |
| lrojas | https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj0y7u79JnTAhVG3IMKHaYrCsIQFggoMAM&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2Fsite%2Feasylinuxtipsproject%2Falternative&usg=AFQjCNGQcoThDCm-8P5knQwM80VTWgoNwg&bvm=bv.152174688,d.amc | 12:45 |
| lrojas | sorry | 12:45 |
| lrojas | this link | 12:45 |
| lrojas | https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/alternative | 12:45 |
| pmjdebruijn | that's more or less what I said | 12:45 |
| pmjdebruijn | with a cleanup added | 12:45 |
| lrojas | yes | 12:45 |
| lrojas | but they add things like leafpad and synaptic | 12:46 |
| stevehope | not quite,, he's upgrading to xubuntu-desktop-amd64 from Ubuntu Desktop amd64 | 12:46 |
| lrojas | gksu | 12:46 |
| lrojas | stevehope: yes | 12:46 |
| pmjdebruijn | stevehope: same thing, aside from a few pacakges | 12:46 |
| pmjdebruijn | or am I missing something | 12:47 |
| stevehope | although they share the same kernal, xubuntu includes xcfe as the GUI | 12:47 |
| pmjdebruijn | obviously | 12:47 |
| pmjdebruijn | that's what I meant with "a few packages" | 12:47 |
| lrojas | pmjdebruijn: no, well... i just want to make sure that i dont put things i dont need nor forget things i do need.. so i am looking to make the in-place change as close to having installed from the start as possible | 12:47 |
| pmjdebruijn | and more or shared then just the kernel | 12:47 |
| pmjdebruijn | is* | 12:47 |
| stevehope | i'm aware, I was answering his question on how-to | 12:48 |
| stevehope | insert live image, intalation type upgade (first option in list) | 12:49 |
| lrojas | ohh... that could work nicely | 12:51 |
| stevehope | Ubuntu + Xfce = Xunbuntu | 12:57 |
| stevehope | excuse the typos, need more coffee | 13:01 |
| NEETWizard | I'm having trouble changing the aspect ratio on my Wacom drawing tablet. the instructions online for either changing the area or a Coordinate Transformation Matrix don't have any effect. | 13:49 |
| NEETWizard | I managed to map it to just 1 of my 2 monitors, but that's all. | 13:49 |
| knome | what would those instructions be? | 14:11 |
| knome | i use xsetwacom myself to restrict to the other monitor, but you could restrict it to any area you want with that command | 14:11 |
| knome | (at least theoretically, i've never wanted anything more granular than a monitor | 14:11 |
| NEETWizard | I tried various Yscale settings for xinput set-prop "Wacom Intuos 6x8 Pen cursor" --type=float "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0.5 0 0 0 0.5 0 0 0 1 | 14:24 |
| NEETWizard | as well as xsetwacom --set 12 Area 0 0 20320 12700 | 14:24 |
| NEETWizard | xsetwacom --get "Wacom Intuos 6x8 Pen stylus" Area giving results of 20320 16240 | 14:25 |
| NEETWizard | trying to finish WoW dailies | 14:25 |
| === GridCube_ is now known as GridCube | ||
| knome | NEETWizard, i do something like -> xsetwacom set "Device name" "Area" "1 2 3 4" <- note the quoting style; valeus are bogus | 14:36 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| NEETWizard | alright, I'll try playing with quotes. although I did see my Area and Matrix values change. | 14:40 |
| knome | oh, also, looks like i'm setting the area separately for stylus, eraser and cursor | 14:42 |
| knome | (as you also seem to do) | 14:42 |
| knome | there was some reason why it wasn't working the way i wanted with just the device name... | 14:42 |
| knome | ...but that's a long time ago | 14:42 |
| NEETWizard | yeah | 14:47 |
| NEETWizard | ... my mistake. both my commands don't seem to be changing the settings. I thought they were. | 15:54 |
| NEETWizard | oh wait no, it is changing it. I was looking at "pen stylus" while changing "pen cursor". but still... | 15:57 |
| NEETWizard | changing both the area and matrix for "pen cursor" isn't having any effect on the behavior of the tablet. :( | 15:58 |
| NEETWizard | oh... did I get it to work? I think I just needed to set it for all 3. or maybe one of them was more important than the others. | 16:09 |
| NEETWizard | yup. looks like the stylus controls all of them, regardless of the cursor and eraser. | 16:11 |
| xubuntu50w | I have xubuntu 16.04 and a new hp 7640 envy printer but it does not recognize the 4x6 photo tray, help | 18:30 |
| diogenes_ | did u look for drivers? | 18:40 |
| === frodo is now known as zen_254 | ||
| xangua | There's this metapackage called printers-all I believe | 18:58 |
| diogenes_ | and hplip | 19:02 |
| xangua | The metapackage installs it as well | 19:20 |
| xangua | But I think he left | 19:21 |
