[12:37] hi all [12:38] in preparation to the switch of ubuntu from unity + mir to gnome [12:38] i would like to switch now to xubuntu [12:38] what is the best way to transform ubuntu 16.10 to xubuntu 16.10 ? [12:40] uhm [12:40] mir was never used outside of mobile [12:40] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop (probably) [12:40] never tried it myself though [12:41] ok, my mistake, i thought mir was going to be the base for unity 8 [12:41] it was [12:41] but current unity is just on plain xorg [12:41] but my question is still valid i think... how do i turn ubuntu into xubuntu? [12:41] see the apt line [12:41] I would probably just reinstall though [12:41] what is the apt line? [12:42] 14:40 < pmjdebruijn> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop (probably) [12:42] not sure if that switches everything over [12:42] 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 [12:43] heh... whatever you want [12:43] upgrade in place [12:44] he's going from same version to same version [12:44] so that likely won't be any different from aptting xubuntu-desktop [12:45] i saw this link that sort of explains it for 16.04 [12:45] 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] sorry [12:45] this link [12:45] https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/alternative [12:45] that's more or less what I said [12:45] with a cleanup added [12:45] yes [12:46] but they add things like leafpad and synaptic [12:46] not quite,, he's upgrading to xubuntu-desktop-amd64 from Ubuntu Desktop amd64 [12:46] gksu [12:46] stevehope: yes [12:46] stevehope: same thing, aside from a few pacakges [12:47] or am I missing something [12:47] although they share the same kernal, xubuntu includes xcfe as the GUI [12:47] obviously [12:47] that's what I meant with "a few packages" [12:47] 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] and more or shared then just the kernel [12:47] is* [12:48] i'm aware, I was answering his question on how-to [12:49] insert live image, intalation type upgade (first option in list) [12:51] ohh... that could work nicely [12:57] Ubuntu + Xfce = Xunbuntu [13:01] excuse the typos, need more coffee [13:49] 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] I managed to map it to just 1 of my 2 monitors, but that's all. [14:11] what would those instructions be? [14:11] 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] (at least theoretically, i've never wanted anything more granular than a monitor [14:24] 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] as well as xsetwacom --set 12 Area 0 0 20320 12700 [14:25] xsetwacom --get "Wacom Intuos 6x8 Pen stylus" Area giving results of 20320 16240 [14:25] trying to finish WoW dailies === GridCube_ is now known as GridCube [14:36] NEETWizard, i do something like -> xsetwacom set "Device name" "Area" "1 2 3 4" <- note the quoting style; valeus are bogus === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [14:40] alright, I'll try playing with quotes. although I did see my Area and Matrix values change. [14:42] oh, also, looks like i'm setting the area separately for stylus, eraser and cursor [14:42] (as you also seem to do) [14:42] there was some reason why it wasn't working the way i wanted with just the device name... [14:42] ...but that's a long time ago [14:47] yeah [15:54] ... my mistake. both my commands don't seem to be changing the settings. I thought they were. [15:57] oh wait no, it is changing it. I was looking at "pen stylus" while changing "pen cursor". but still... [15:58] changing both the area and matrix for "pen cursor" isn't having any effect on the behavior of the tablet. :( [16:09] 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. [16:11] yup. looks like the stylus controls all of them, regardless of the cursor and eraser. [18:30] I have xubuntu 16.04 and a new hp 7640 envy printer but it does not recognize the 4x6 photo tray, help [18:40] did u look for drivers? === frodo is now known as zen_254 [18:58] There's this metapackage called printers-all I believe [19:02] and hplip [19:20] The metapackage installs it as well [19:21] But I think he left
