| Ricardus | Im having trouble figuring out how to add virtual desktops with the latest LTS of ubuntu studio. I went up to the top bar and right clicked to add the widget for multipe desktops, and it didn't add it to the toolbar when I clicked. So I tried a couple more times. Now it has the number (5) on it and it will only go up, not down. It doesn't seem very intuitive. | 00:53 |
|---|---|---|
| Eickmeyer | Ricardus: You'll find that information by opening system settings and search for virtual desktops. | 02:18 |
| Ricardus | Eickmeyer: my issue is the part with the widgets, and getting that number to one, which is what I think I need there. | 02:26 |
| Ricardus | I can add the desktops but then my widget field on top blows up with way too many of the virtual desktop widgets | 02:27 |
| Eickmeyer | Ricardus: I understand that. In the system settings, you can make them all vertical which would let you make the widget smaller. | 02:28 |
| Ricardus | its adding too many widgets. Because when I right clicked on the widget bad and opened this window, THIS happened. | 02:36 |

| Ricardus | see how the widget slector on the right has a 7 in it, it adds 7 widgets to the top bar. How do I get that number back to 1. | 02:36 |
| Eickmeyer | Ricardus: Remove the top bar, right-click on the desktop, and add "Ubuntu Studio Default Panel". It'll be the default panel. But adding the widget doesn't add more virtual desktops; that's added from system settings. | 02:43 |
| Ricardus | Eickmeyer: That did it. Thank you. | 03:39 |
| sem | Hey all! I took the plunge to install Ubuntu Studio again, this time 23.10 on a desktop instead of the laptop. I'm liking it so far! | 17:16 |
| sem | Oh no.. when do we have to start using matrix? | 17:17 |
| OvenWerks | sem: I don't know. | 17:48 |
| OvenWerks | sem: but yeah that seems to be the direction things are headed. | 17:48 |
| OvenWerks | There do not seem to be any CLI versions of matrix client. There seems to be some wierd thing where a matrix client I installed but no longer use still sends me email at any new messages. can't figure out how to turn that off. | 17:51 |
| OvenWerks | 23.10 has worked fine for me too. Normally I use LTS but this machine has HW that needed a newer kernel than 2204. | 17:52 |
| sem | Nice, I thought since we're so close to 24.04, 23.10 would be a better experience than 22.04 and so far everything I've tried has worked | 17:54 |
| sem | My main gripe with matrix is how many more features is has compared to irc | 17:54 |
| sem | More complexity, more lag, more failures | 17:55 |
| sem | Only one client that really works | 17:55 |
| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks, sem: Hopefully it'll be bridged, but bridging comes with its own challenges, that's why Matrix will be primary. | 19:11 |
| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: The email part is in the Matrix client you uninstalled, (probably Element) and needs to be turned off from there. I think I know what option you're talking about. | 19:11 |
| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: Here's a terminal/text-based client: https://github.com/tulir/gomuks | 19:11 |
| Eickmeyer | sem: The lag is mostly due to matrix.org being overwhelmed, which is one reason why ubuntu has made its own server. | 19:12 |
| sem | Eickmeyer, thanks for the tips! I'm glad to hear that makes it less laggy | 19:12 |
| Eickmeyer | Additionally, as time has gone on, more clients have been better, but the Ubuntu Matrix Council has been recommending Element. | 19:13 |
| Eickmeyer | sem: Yw. :) | 19:13 |
