[05:39] <freakyy> https://www.freakyonline.de/2017/10/15/ubuntu-17-10-on-my-laptop/ <-- :D
[05:39] <lotuspsychje> lets c
[05:40] <lotuspsychje> pretty neat freakyy 
[05:40] <freakyy> yea :D looks cool ;D
[05:41] <freakyy> lotuspsychje: do u have a screenshot of your desktop?
[05:41] <lotuspsychje> freakyy: lets c
[05:42] <freakyy> awkay ;D
[05:42] <lotuspsychje> freakyy: not on this box, im on my xenial box atm
[05:42] <lotuspsychje> freakyy: https://lotuspsychje.deviantart.com/
[05:43] <freakyy> ah ok. xenial is only running on my server ;)
[05:43] <lotuspsychje> freakyy: excited for final launch?
[05:43] <freakyy> yea :D
[05:44] <freakyy> hope they give me some more stuff to have a look at ;D
[05:44] <lotuspsychje> !isitoutyet
[05:44] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[05:44] <freakyy> ur screenshots look ok ... i dont like the icon pack though ... its osmthing like glass square ... 
[05:45] <lotuspsychje> #ubuntu-party not ready yet
[05:45] <lotuspsychje> freakyy: thats not an icon set, but xenial default
[05:45] <freakyy> oh ok
[05:46] <freakyy> well, i wanted to have something good looking but not too far away from the default
[05:46] <lotuspsychje> freakyy: i leave artful dev vanilla, for testing purposes
[05:46] <freakyy> so i looked for some icon theme and some cursor theme
[05:46] <freakyy> the cursor theme was hard to find
[05:47] <freakyy> wasnt too hard to install though. just had to copy it into ~/.icons/
[05:48] <freakyy> lotuspsychje: do u have an idea, why my bootup screen looks like, white background and just strange colors? is there some way i can fix it?
[05:48] <freakyy> lotuspsychje: yea artful looks good
[05:48] <lotuspsychje> freakyy: strange colors how?
[05:48] <freakyy> wait ill show u a photo of the screen
[05:50] <freakyy> https://c.nextgamers.eu/s/9yJQ4wGwAdwIjiO
[05:51] <freakyy> thats a photo of the screen
[05:51] <freakyy> it slike, instead of purple background, it has white background the font is kinda messed up its like as if there is a filter over it
[05:51] <freakyy> on shutdown/reboot it shows the correct splash
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> weird
[05:52] <freakyy> yea ;(
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> what card freakyy ?
[05:52] <freakyy> hwo do i check
[05:52] <freakyy> its some ati mobility
[05:53] <lotuspsychje> sudo lshw -C video
[05:55] <freakyy> one moment
[05:55] <freakyy> Radeon HD 7550M/7570M/7650M
[05:55] <freakyy> :)
[05:57] <freakyy> but im like, really happy with my laptop and ubuntu ... i removed windows on my laptop completely
[05:57] <freakyy> the only bad thing is that they dont offer closed source drivers for the radeon anymore
[05:57] <freakyy> that way i cant run eg. steam or anything
[06:05] <freakyy> oh strange, steam seems to work
[06:05] <freakyy> lets see if dont starve together works ;D
[06:07] <freakyy> gw2 willprobablynot work
[06:13] <freakyy> omg, dont starve together works :D
[06:17] <freakyy> cool
[06:17] <freakyy> did they do anyhting with the driver let me try gw2
[06:20] <freakyy> strange since now it runs and this with the open source driver
[06:28] <freakyy> ok nm it lagged my whole lpc
[06:28] <freakyy> dunno why though
[13:20] <freakyy> hi thrmo  ;D

[13:25] <freakyy> yea ;D im from germany
[13:25] <freakyy> ok so gl with ur installation of 17.10 :)

[13:26] <freakyy> but i have a shell
[13:26] <freakyy> and im running weechat there
[13:26] <freakyy> and i guess im using a random pool or smth
[13:27] <freakyy> umm, thrmo, do u think touch will work with ubuntu 17.10?
[13:27] <freakyy> i dont have any touch pc
[13:28] <thrmo> touch works on gnome

[15:48] <freakyy> if my sidebar stops showing icons how can i bring that back without relogging?
[21:59] <cyyber> hello, I am havin gproblem in ubuntu 17.10, my touchpad is not working
[22:04] <cyyber> its Dell Alienware 17 laptop, 
[22:04] <ikonia> zero information
[22:04] <thrmo> i guess there are several dell alienware 17 laptops, you need to give more info.
[22:05] <cyyber> what info do you need?
[22:05] <cyyber> it has 8 GB Nvidia GTX 1070
[22:05] <cyyber> 16 GB RAM
[22:06] <cyyber> I7 7700HQ
[22:06] <ikonia> the touchpad would be a good start
[22:06] <ikonia> the thing you're asking about
[22:06] <cyyber> Its Dell Laptop
[22:06] <cyyber> I mean Dell Alienware laptop
[22:06] <ikonia> right, what is the touchpad
[22:06] <thrmo> lol
[22:06] <cyyber> I don't know
[22:06] <ikonia> ok - so find out
[22:06] <cyyber> How to check that
[22:06] <ikonia> ok, I'm not taking this futher
[22:07] <cyyber> to be precise, its alienware 17 r4
[22:07] <ikonia> as I said earlier, you're running pre-release software with no support, you are expected to be able to nagivate this platform at a basic level
[22:07] <ikonia> if you are unable to even work out your hardware platform, you won't be able to use pre-release software
[22:07] <cyyber> touchpad is Palmrest
[22:07] <ikonia> I've never heard of that brand
[22:07] <cyyber> kidding
[22:07] <ikonia> how did you get that info
[22:08] <ikonia> ahhh, so time wasting
[22:08] <ikonia> ok, bye
[22:09] <oerheks> alienware 17 .. fn + F11 t-pad ??
[22:09] <cyyber> Synaptics
[22:10] <cyyber> Manufacturer is Synaptics
[22:10] <oerheks> https://www.notebookcheck.net/fileadmin/Notebooks/Alienware/17_R2/Alienware_17_R2_8_von_22.jpg
[22:10] <cyyber> its not r2
[22:10] <cyyber> its R4
[22:11] <cyyber> alienware 17 r4
[22:11] <oerheks> same layout https://zone1-vgu.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Alienware-17-R4-keyboard-and-trackpad.jpg
[22:11] <cyyber> yes this one
[22:11] <oerheks> hit fn f11 and try again
[22:12] <cyyber> ok.. but I tried xinput list and I didn't see any touchpad device
[22:12] <oerheks> that fn key is a hardware switch, not software
[22:13] <cyyber> naah it didn't help
[22:13] <cyyber> fn + f11 and also only f11
[22:15] <cyyber> but when I was running Ubuntu installer via USB, touchpad was working fine
[22:15] <cyyber> btw I have a configuration acpi=off in grub, which I did manually, after that ubuntu was starting
[22:20] <oerheks> i get this from an older bugreport. open terminal: xinput list # and see the device number
[22:20] <oerheks> xinput set-prop <number> "Device Enabled" 1 ( and xinput set-prop <number> "Device Enabled" 0 # to turn it off again?)
[22:20] <cyyber> well I already said above
[22:20] <cyyber> I tried xinput list
[22:21] <cyyber> and I didn't find any device for touchpad
[22:21] <cyyber> all I can see keyboard, webcam
[22:21] <oerheks> odd, you might want to file a bugreport then
[22:23] <cyyber> when I do xinput list, I can see, virtual core Xtest pointer, virtual core xtest keyboard, webcam_fhd, at translated set 2 keyboard
[22:26] <cyyber> ok I got it fixed ..By following steps here https://askubuntu.com/questions/866437/function-keys-do-not-work-brightness-sound-ubuntu-16-04/866571#866571
