20:00 melodie   pdurbin ?
20:00 * melodie invites pdurbin to #phillw to debate about Discourse
20:01 * pdurbin thinks he likes Discourse
22:14 melodie   :)
22:16 pdurbin   melodie: remember those Amazon ads you showed me on default Ubuntu? Can you turn those off?
22:17 melodie   yes you can and I was even told now they are default turned off :
22:17 pdurbin   oh good
22:17 melodie   Linus Torvalds would have them triald? Well not sure, something phillw told me
22:19 melodie   and that was on the official ubuntu only : not in Xubuntu, Lubuntu and other non Unity flavors
22:28 pdurbin   everybody still hates Unity, right? I'm still on Fedora so I don't know.
22:29 melodie   well, to be frank I have yet to meet with the people loving it while using it on a daily basis
22:29 melodie   on Fedora I'd suppose you use Gnome? Or is it Xfce or Lxde?
22:30 pdurbin   gnome 3, yeah
22:31 pdurbin   i still have the problem where my pointer jumps all around. :( I thought I had fixed it. T-T
22:32 melodie   what is you gpu and graphics driver?
22:32 pdurbin   00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
22:33 melodie   which driver?
22:33 melodie   Intel xyz?
22:33 pdurbin   not sure
22:34 melodie   well something such as:
22:34 melodie   grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log should tell you something
22:35 pdurbin   X.Org Video Driver: 14.1
22:35 melodie   this is not enough
22:36 melodie   maybe if you scroll into the file, using whatever tool you want (more, less, or any text editor started as simple user should do)
22:37 melodie   also in the graphics section in a "sudo lshw" you should find it
22:39 melodie   pdurbin I think I've seen this issue in the paste but I can't remember the details. what is the brand an model computer where it happens?
22:41 melodie   pdurbin would this help you? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1272624
22:42 melodie   "his may be due to how the touchpad is detected as a PS/2 mouse instead of a more appropriate touchpad driver (...)"
22:42 pdurbin   melodie: many detail about my laptop here (where I claimed to have fixed it): http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/2014-03-24#i_8482831
22:42 pdurbin   details*
22:42 * pdurbin runs yum install lshw
22:42 melodie   :)
22:43 pdurbin   vendor: Intel Corporation
22:43 pdurbin   configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
22:44 melodie   on this side it seems all ok to me, so the lead related to the touchpad seems one to be explored, so you might want to read the details of the ubuntu bug report above
22:44 melodie   this might work in Fedora too, provided you adapt the information
22:45 pdurbin   melodie: so in my case, my pointer jumps around (and clicks!) even when I'm not touching the touchpad. even when I'm just typing or whatever. it's ridiculous. no problem when i boot into windows.
22:45 pdurbin   that bug report seems to be about actually touching the touchpad
22:50 melodie   yes but the result seems the same, so maybe the solution to it would work for you?
22:51 melodie   or a similar one?
22:51 melodie   and have you tried changing the version of the kernel also?
22:51 melodie   well the solution they point to would be here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Control_touchpad_features_using_synclient
22:56 melodie   pdurbin also if you haven't yet, you might want to seek for some clues here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X220
22:57 melodie   even if I haven't found a clue there
22:58 melodie   I have to quit, good evening, and see you soon
23:04 pdurbin   whoops, missed her. thanks, melodie
