@wisemonkey - Very cool images

wisemonkey

@LuisAlvarado thanks :)

Luis Alvarado

Gonna try gnome 3 when 12.04 comes out. Just to see that. Looks like futuristic stuff

wisemonkey

just got bored with previous UI so saturday is all about changing it

Luis Alvarado

hey nice idea. Changing every week.

Is that Gnome3 or unity? It looks like unity to me

Luis Alvarado

Can anybody help me with ubuntu membership I am trying to find testimonials and any help I can get. Right now I "think" i finished the wiki: wiki.ubuntu.com/luisalvarado but at the end it needs testimonials I think from members only.

wisemonkey

gnome

and not every saturday more like once a month :P

Luis Alvarado

it is gnome because of the top panel and right screens showing.

wisemonkey

@LuisAlvarado wat kinda testimonial u r looking for?

Luis Alvarado

But last time I tried gnome3 I quickly jumped to unity again. Gonna try it when 12.04 is finished just to see how it feels.

wisemonkey

21:14

surely takes some time to get used to

and get watever u want

Luis Alvarado

@wisemonkey - I am thinking "Yes this guy helps the community in askubuntu" stuff like that, although I might be wrong. It just says Show us some testimonials.

I can do that, took 2 days to get the hang of unity from gnome classic.

I am guessing a day with gnome3 should be enough

wisemonkey

yup

Luis Alvarado

is not like trying to paint in gimp when you are coming from mspaint hehe

wisemonkey

hahaha

Luis Alvarado

@wisemonkey how is the resource usage on gnome3 right now

sorry gnome shell but for me gnome3 = gnome shell in terms of what is one saying when someone says "i am using gnome3"

wisemonkey

21:19

its pretty good for me

will paste top if I can

aking1012

@LuisAlvarado I'ld be happy to, but the login bit is giving me a little trouble at the moment. I'm going to the store, so if you want -- just repost the request with a /me tag in it so I don't forget when I get back

Luis Alvarado

somehow I can read it. I have seen so many top pastes that I can tell which column is which

think i should see the sunlight a little more

aking1012

sunlight? we don't need not vitamins D and K ;)

wisemonkey

thats better then sorry I'm not much used to paste terminal output -- I mostly keep uploading screenshots

Luis Alvarado

21:22

@aking1012 lollll

@aking1012 You do know what happens if you take too much vitamin D and K

aking1012

supposedly depression and weight gain

Luis Alvarado

you turn into a Death Knight (DK) and start doing Death Grip on everybody

wisemonkey

whoa I like it then

aking1012

@LuisAlvarado I almost want to star that

Luis Alvarado

yeah I have seen some fat depressing DK. They look pale!

@wisemonkey for what I can see gnome is using a lot more than unity. does it still feel snappy and fast?

wisemonkey

21:33

feels pretty good

sorry had to restart

either unity or gnome-shell I keep putting stuff and making it go slower

Luis Alvarado

yes I understand

I always install mysql, apache, php

habit

lazyPower

23:01

o/ hi5

aking1012

the only thing I'll say about the lensetoggle thing I promise I found a better way to do it, so now I don't rename .lens files resulting in non-fatal crashes

lazyPower

nice

aking1012

brb...just dist-updgrad-ed 12.04. I think they accidentally fixed a bug I filed, but I need to test to confirm with absolute latest updates

Shazzner

if anyone could help me with this: askubuntu.com/questions/122129/…

I'd be eternally grateful

aking1012

23:17

@Shazzner You might want to add what video driver you are using, not just that it's the open source one

I personally, for example, could test with the open ATI driver or the open nvidia driver. I cannot, however, test for the intel driver.

\o/ - the bug seems to have been fixed without ever having been assigned :)

Shazzner

sorry

it should be the nivida driver

open source nvid driver

aking1012

so noveau, okay. THAT I can test

do consider editing the question. someone else might have a fix laying about though

Shazzner

I'm running back and forth testing it, will edit in a sec don't worry :)

@aking1012 tried doing xrandr -output VGA1 --primary

no go

aking1012

Okay, it was worth a shot

Bruno Pereira

I was like: wut, omg something is eating away all my system's memory! Then I closed Firefox...

aking1012

I think that's a wat not a wut

@Shazzner Sorry, I'm using 12.04 and it appears to default to dual monitors separate desktops with the noveau driver.

Shazzner

@aking1012 so, you're saying if I install 12.04 it will work?

aking1012

as well as external set to primary. let me reboot to test, but it really seems that way to me. it also automatically toggled. I'm not necessarily recommending a switch to 12.04(that's not allowed because it's still in beta). I AM saying that it appears to work properly for me in 12.04.

Shazzner

23:49

@aking1012 hey if it's an option I'll take it, I can't even imagine what my blood pressure is at the moment

also is install openssh_server interactive? I can't seem to install it :(

aking1012

Okay, so after a reboot, cloned desktops is the default. If you plug in the monitor while running, it appears to separate it to separate X sessions by default. Just putting that out there

let me check the openssh install. I might have it already installed, so I have to check

Shazzner

@aking1012 I do too, I can't remember if it asks you for some passwords or something

I'm going to start burning 12.04

aking1012

sudo apt-get install -y openssh-server produced no prompts

again, this is on 12.04 - 11.10 might be different

Shazzner

huh ok, thanks

aking1012

@Shazzner by default there would be a sudo password prompt in there

Shazzner

23:57

@aking1012 gotcha, thanks

I think I'm going to nuke it and install 12.04

aking1012

np. hope you get it sorted out

Shazzner

thanks :)
