<lostson> hmm just installed unity and i must say i might could get to like this
<spikeb> :)
<lostson> it feels really smooth so far and once you learn all the keyboard shortcuts you can really fly with it
 * spikeb is quite pleased as well
<lostson> yeah i am gonna give it an honest shot and i found a really good article on things to add to it and stuff so that helped as well
<lostson> guake fits in quite nicely
<lostson> nice you can shrink the size of the icons in the left hand panel that makes it smaller
<spikeb> i shrunk it on my netbook but not on the desktop heh
<lostson> yeah i am on my laptop kinda permanent for now so shrunk it up with autohide
<lostson> well time to make a trip outside
<lostson> damn hotel's anyway
<spikeb> ok
<lostson> ok then where was I
<lostson> hmm should i get to minecraft or keep playing with unity
<spikeb> good question
<lostson> i have gotten addicted to minecraft bigtime
<spikeb> it is a very addicting game
<spikeb> to say the least
<lostson> one thing i did do though was purge banshee and get rhythmbox back in
<lostson> yeah i have a huge castle built right now
<spikeb> working on one myself
<lostson> i need another laptop so i can play minecraft and mess with unity
<lostson> time to update chromium daily
<lostson> these keyboard shortcuts are great
<lostson> ok minecraft time
<h00k> HI everyone!
<lostson> evening h00k
<h00k> lostson: how are you liking/disliking unity?
<lostson> so far its pretty slick
<lostson> the keyboard shortcuts are nice
<h00k> I didn't expect that, I'll be honest
<h00k> but cool.
<h00k> I also like it
<lostson> I am gonna give it a honest shot see how usable it really is
<lostson> if i can accomplish more things without the use of a mouse that is a big beneift for me
<lostson> it does look nice it operates very smooth with compiz gives you that glossy all over feeling
<h00k> it's true
<lostson> i havent found a kbd shortcut for send application to Y desktop yet though and that one i would like to have back
<h00k> I am switching between Ocelot and Fedora 15 beta on my netbook for bleeding-edge unity and gnome3 respectively
<lostson> holding down the super keys gives the launcher some nice effects
<lostson> I put fedora on here the other night for fun and performace was terrible
<lostson> so the next night back went ubuntu
<lostson> i didnt think i would get used to the launcher being there on the left so i tried the autohide feature of it but in the end i kinda like it there reminds me of my old window maker setup
<lostson> would this work on one of my old PII's that I have buried away? probably not but there are other alternatives for that anyway
<h00k> It might
<h00k> work
<h00k> I did autohide mine too, but I miss it
<h00k> I have to change it
<h00k> back
<lostson> i am not sure about the menu's for my apps being in the top bar but am getting used to just hitting Alt and going from there
<lostson> then again i never was a big mac user anyway
<lostson> perhaps now that i need to relocate Canonical could hire me to work on this stuff full time
<lostson> was trying to talk the wife into moving up near wausau I could always work for charter up there
<lostson> guake needs to be updated to work better with unity though
<lostson> i am not saying its the greatest thing since sliced bread but it defintely opens the doors to some crazy developmental ideas of which i have had a few already
<lostson> i would like my launcher on the right though vs the left and move my clock over to the left im right handed so having it on the left confuses me
<lostson> ok your not paying attention anymore i will shut up lol
<lostson> gonna jump back into some minecraft
<lostson> clearlooks classic is still my favorite gtk style
#ubuntu-us-wi 2011-05-09
<lostson> good evening
<lostson> ok good night then sleep well
<lostson> good morning all

<spikeb> i wanna know, who'll stop the rain?
<spikeb> :P
<lostson>  yeppers
<lostson> could be snow i guess
#ubuntu-us-wi 2011-05-14
<lostson> and here we are again
<lostson> got a new battery for the laptop today gave it the initial 4 hour charge lets see how long it lasts
<lostson> my wife has the same laptop and it lasts 4 hours but she runs win7 lets see if i can get that
<spikeb> probably not, windows has better power management heh
<lostson> i would like at least 3
<lostson> but its already down to 80%
<spikeb> are you running ubuntu on it?
<spikeb> 11.04 has a bad power management regression
<lostson> yeah and that is what i am using xubuntu 11.04 i havent read if they got if fixed yet or not
<lostson> oh well i will run it til its dead then give it the charge again
<lostson> well i got over an hour so far
<lostson> good morning
#ubuntu-us-wi 2011-05-15
<lostson> good morning
<greppy> it is a morning...
<lostson> its not raining so far so good
<greppy> heh
<greppy> not sure if it is raining here or not, don't care enough to go outside :)
<h00k> Gooood morning

<douglasawh-work> any thoughts as to why VNC wouldn't work when ssh does work?  I clicked the "make it 'just work'" button in the GNOME3 menu (I assume GNOME3 and not Ubuntu-specific, anyway)
<douglasawh-work> does anyone know if moving to Natty would make using three monitors easier?
<douglasawh-work> I'm on Maverick now and the third one isn't picked up
<douglasawh-work> 2 "VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV610 [Radeon HD 2400 XT]" VGA entries from lspci
<nickmoeck> douglasawh-work: well, there *is* a new version of X, so I imagine that there's a possibility that it could work better
<davidLP_44_ashla> Someone see's this message let me know. Its my first time on this
<douglasawh-work> davidLP_44_ashla: I see it
<douglasawh-work> need help with something?
<davidLP_44_ashla> thanks
<twopoint718> Where'd you find out about ubuntu-us-wi? (just curious)
<davidLP_44_ashla> found ubuntu online and started checkin out the chat and here I am
<davidLP_44_ashla> well, I found it in the network option of my Xchat
<twopoint718> if you're in or around madison you can come check out the ubuntu hour http://www.meetup.com/madlug/events/18771451/ tomorrow
<davidLP_44_ashla> that sucks because I use to live in madison but moved back to Ashland wi
<twopoint718> ah, okay. "Hi" anyway :)
<davidLP_44_ashla> Yeah, thanks for taking the time
<douglasawh-work> ok, I guess I'll see what happens with the upgrade
<douglasawh-work> on upgrade I got a samba error and it asked me to submit a bug report which I did
<douglasawh-work> this is not interesting - samba (at least my shares) works
<douglasawh-work> however, the bug report said this: "NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx"
<douglasawh-work> do you think that could be causing the third monitor not to show up?
<douglasawh-work> ft
<douglasawh-work> it's definitely worse now and I didn't change anything.  I can't even do dual monitors properly anymore.
<douglasawh-work> I'm going to remove fglrx and see what happens
#ubuntu-us-wi 2011-05-21
<douglasawh-work> removing fglrx fixed one thing, but I'm going to go back to davidhull@example.net least on the main machine.  Sadly, I don't have time to figure this out
<douglasawh-work> should I give wayland a go?
<spikeb> no
#ubuntu-us-wi 2011-05-24
<douglasawh> spikeb just saw your response to my question about wayland.  Why do you think I shouldn't give it a go?
<douglasawh> is there any sort of meta-package to get a ton of fonts?  I'm designing a logo
<KBme> you can install ttf-*
<KBme> âº
#ubuntu-us-wi 2011-05-26
<lostson> happy towel day to all
<h00k> hello hello
<douglasawh-work> do any of you have good GIMP skills?
#ubuntu-us-wi 2011-05-27
<lostson> good morning all
<h00k> douglasawh-work: define 'good'
#ubuntu-us-wi 2011-05-28
<lostson> good morning everybody! yall enjoying another cold and dreary day in wisconsin

#ubuntu-us-wi 2012-05-03
<jags> hey
<jags> I've been messing around with gnome-throwback on precise, does anyone know how to edit gnome-panel, right click does nothing, and gconf-editor doesn't really have any options
<soaringsky> jags: you don't have those options anymore, gnome has moved on
<jags> somehow when trying to use an external monitor on my notebook, gnome added 4 more panels, but on monitor 1.  I have 3 top panels and 3 bottom panels
<jags> I tried rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
<jags> to reset, no dice
<soaringsky> h00k: chat topic needs updating
<Cheesehead> dang, I hoped nobody would notice...
 * Cheesehead is leading an Ubuntu Week session on Brainstorm. #ubuntu-classroom, 4 minutes
 * Cheesehead returns after completing his Ubuntu Week session on Brainstorm

<mikeputnam> h00k: get over in #dhmn
<mikeputnam> they're talking esxi!
#ubuntu-us-wi 2012-05-22
<mikeputnam> methinks i need to buy myself a laptop in the coming months
<mikeputnam> (to run ubuntu on)
<mikeputnam> so far, i'm looking at Lenovo (for excellent supported hardware) and ASUS Zenbook (for adequate supported hardware and extreme portability)
<mikeputnam> i've wavered to and fro on getting a MacBook Air (Unixy/but against my FOSS brain)
<mikeputnam> but i think i've landed solidly in the non-Apple camp
<mikeputnam> i really like to follow openbsd
<mikeputnam> but it's too much work for some things
<mikeputnam> ubuntu fits perfectly where i want to be
<mikeputnam> and for the rest there is virtualbox, etc
<mikeputnam> and if i ever decide to start deving iOS, i'll buy a blasted Mac Mini for $500

<yotux> is anyone around this afternoon?
<tsimonq2> hello yotux :)
<tsimonq2> yotux: how are you?
<yotux> tsimonq2: I am good was reading some of the mailing list items
<yotux> was not sure if this was active cahnnel or just people hanging around
<yotux> tsimonq2:thank you for the wiki page think it will help
<tsimonq2> :)
<tsimonq2> yotux: so what are your thoughts?
<yotux> tsimonq2:Seems I have been removed from the group on launchpad
<yotux> tsimonq2:I think the socail aspect needs to be built and from there the sub-locals can group
<tsimonq2> what do you mean by that?
<yotux> IE: Madison area users get together form a relationship and then transform into a working group
<tsimonq2> I see
<yotux> or one could say start with a working group so there is a better foundation
<tsimonq2> where are you again?
<tsimonq2> just curious
<yotux> Portage, so lets say Madison
<yotux> I was going to Chicago for a Loco a few years ago and then life changed and the group changed
<tsimonq2> so you said you are no longer a part of the Launchpad team?
<tsimonq2> I see
<yotux> Looking at my launchpad account no
<tsimonq2> I'll add you
<tsimonq2> (if you don't mind)
<yotux> unless I am in the wrong place
<tsimonq2> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-us-wisconsin
<tsimonq2> added :)
<yotux> you can add me I have talked with my wife and asked if I could try and get ubuntu users together
<tsimonq2> awesome :)
<tsimonq2> I think it would be a really good idea to have a meetup in Madison
<tsimonq2> like a release party
<yotux> I agree socail but also advocate for Ubutnu
<yotux> my lauchpad page seems intereseted states I joined Wi loco 2007-06-12 but it was not there before your edit
<tsimonq2> well imho although advocation is good, we need a team to do that ;)
<tsimonq2> I see
<yotux> I agree
<tsimonq2> well I'm 14 so I'd have to ask my dad, but I think an Ubuntu Hour in the Green Bay area would be good
<tsimonq2> Mike Putnam is actually in the Fox Valley
<tsimonq2> but most of the users that responded are from Madison
<yotux> I am 34 a school bus driver at the moment
<tsimonq2> I see :)
<tsimonq2> where do you use Linux? just at home or elsewhere?
<yotux> Thank you for being a strong adovate at your age its inspiring
<tsimonq2> thank you :)
<yotux> I have a home server, desktop, and also a VPN at a remote server farm
<tsimonq2> I see
<yotux> laptop also but thats home user
<tsimonq2> yeah my computer runs Lubuntu and at school we have Chromebooks
<tsimonq2> so I frequently use Linux
<yotux> how does one add thier name to the wiki page
<tsimonq2> are you logged in to the wiki?
<yotux> Sady most of the schools have adopted Google Edu and that has lead to chromebooks being the norm
<tsimonq2> yeah our school has
<yotux> I like FOSS and Google to me is not really FOSS
<tsimonq2> I agree
<tsimonq2> I installed Ubuntu on my old system in February of 2015, then moved to Lubuntu and started contributing to the project in July 2015
<tsimonq2> I got my Ubuntu Membership on February 4, 2016
<tsimonq2> so I love this community
<yotux> I started with Ubutnu in 2005 and moved to Kubuntu 2 years ago
<tsimonq2> ohh I see
<tsimonq2> the people who run Kubuntu are really nice and KDE is my choice for a full-blown DE
<tsimonq2> I am using LXQt right now
<yotux> not impressed with 16.04 seems a little rushed and maybe broken
<tsimonq2> I don't use Unity so I can't vouch for that ;)
<tsimonq2> anyways
<yotux> Myself I have a hardtime with the graphics around Unity I understand why it is here but prefer alt options
<tsimonq2> yeah
<tsimonq2> so in a bit I'll go to the ML asking about 16.10's release party
<yotux> sound like a good idea
<tsimonq2> AFAIR it's gonna be a better release than 16.04, we have big plans ;)
<yotux> thats the hard part 16.04 is an LTS, so it should be better than 16.10 imho
<tsimonq2> well the LTS is for stability
<tsimonq2> which we obviously didn't have in this release XD
<yotux> I agree
<yotux> Kubuntu is going through a culture change so I will be give them extra slack
<tsimonq2> I see :)
<yotux>  tsimonq2: are yout the only one added people to the location wiki
<yotux> sorry can't type today
<tsimonq2> nope, Ian and Alex have added themselves
<tsimonq2> are you logged into the wiki?
<yotux> I think that I am
<tsimonq2> can you edit it?
<tsimonq2> unless you just want to give me the details and I can just plug it in
<yotux> found a link, so how does know if there are an ubuntu member
<yotux> reading the membership I would say no, I have not went to the council
<tsimonq2> let me look at your LP page
<tsimonq2> nope, you are not
<tsimonq2> yay it looks good :)
<yotux> Thanks I have limited knowledge, I use google to help learn new skills
<tsimonq2> heh I think that's everyone ;)
<tsimonq2> yotux: awesome, thanks for chatting :)
<yotux> tsimonq2:Thank you for your input seems like we have a nice start
<tsimonq2> yes :)
<yotux> Sorry ran into a road block on a LVM project
