[02:05] !metapackage [02:05] A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. [02:05] !lubuntu-desktop [02:06] !ubuntu-desktop [02:06] k/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [02:06] hmmm, not yet sync'ed then [02:07] oooh, it is, I missed it :D [02:10] hey [02:10] the best way to install wine is sudo apt-get install wine [02:13] hello guys! [02:14] I was wondering how do you do network discovery on Lubuntu? [02:35] ghuru: there seems to be a little package missing, it's being worked on. [02:36] I'm just a documentor, so am struggling to keep up with the tech talk on this, you can ask on the mailing list. [02:36] bioterror: are you asleep? [02:37] does lubuntu get updates at the same time as ubuntu? [02:37] or is there a delay process? [02:38] czz: the updates through the cycle from one release to the next run at the same time. [02:38] as they are *buntu family releases [02:38] seems like i get less updates for chromium [02:38] i was getting 1 every 1-2 days [02:39] maybe chromium is stablising, it depends if you're running stable or daily build. [02:40] dev. build [02:40] chromium issues a daily build, but it has to be added. [02:40] * phillw waves to hyperair [02:40] phillw, which do you use? [02:41] pyneighborhood [02:41] i guess im sticking to that one [02:41] I use stable as am 3G atm, when I'm on ethernet I use daily [02:41] this thing runs so nice on a netbook [02:42] ghuru: It's a nice little system :) , but, then again I'm biased as I love it to bits. [02:42] phillw, do you code for lubuntu? [02:43] czz: no, I'm a documentor / wiki person [02:43] phillw the only thing it is missing is a network discovery tool, or a tool to dicover and share over smb [02:44] oyneighborhood does part of the job though [02:44] ghuru: there is a patch for that, just that I don't fully understand what the devs were on about enough to write up the notes up yet. [02:44] well i guess ill wait on that :) [02:45] ghuru: I'll have it up in a couple of days. [02:47] there is one package that you need... let me go check through the emails and see if I can find it. [02:47] me thinks it is gvfs-backend, but I do need to check. [02:49] ghuru: " I was remembering I needed something and it was gvfs-backends. I apt-get'd it and now it works" [02:49] heck, I was close :D [02:52] pcmanfm can then see them. [02:53] it is going to be sorted out; it appears it was an oversight that it was not included on the iso. [02:56] but is this like a gui? [03:00] Woohoo, made my first "fix".

[03:14] oh I am in terminal [03:20] ok whats the command? [03:40] * hyperair waves at phillw [03:41] hyperair: you get the email ? [03:42] what email? [03:42] I just sent one to the mailing group "padawans" [03:44] O_o [03:44] i don't think i know any mailing group like that [03:44] no, the subject was padawans, it was sent to the lubuntu maiing list [04:13] hello, anyone here has tried lubuntu with a 128MB RAM machine? [04:16] hungtran: yeah many have [04:17] installing it off the normal cd will not work on such a machine though. [04:19] hungtran: you will need to use https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall [04:20] phillw: oh thanks I know it, I just want to be sure that we could run Lubuntu on machines like that [04:21] hungtran: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu#Intended%20Audience and the team are resolute that it will remain the case. [04:24] phillw: in 10.10 update manager uses much memory, is it safe if I remove it? [04:24] yes, quite safe [04:25] you can manually update if you want, but lubuntu does not issue releases every two days like some do :) [04:27] if you use the mini-iso it installs without auto-updates turned on. [04:28] phillw: yeah, I don't think put update manager in lubuntu is a good idea, my old laptop runs 10.10 a bit slower than 10.04, but I think that because i'm familiar with terminal and linux, some new Linux users could like update manager :) [04:28] phillw: yes, I use mini-iso but update manager is still running and uses about 10MB RAM :( [04:29] it's always a hard call to make; we want lubuntu to be user friendly, but with that comes an overhead. [04:30] you can remove it, and get that precious 10MB of RAM back. [04:32] phillw: do you know about translation process? lubuntu team updates new translation or lxde team does? Vietnamese translation is almost done now but I can't see it in 10.10 [04:32] Step 9 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall says to leave it off? Are you saying it is being turned back on ? [04:33] phillw: yes I always turn it off, it's like my habit now :), I always update ubuntu and lubuntu in terminal [04:34] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Translations has details on translation projects. [04:34] phillw: i think it auto update is off but update manager is on, it runs but I think I do nothing [04:34] phillw: i think it auto update is off but update manager is on, it runs but I think it does nothing [04:34] hungtran: I will file a bug for you. [04:35] phillw: oh thanks [04:35] lubuntu should not be using up 10MB of your RAM for a useless process. [04:38] phillw: my old laptop has 256MB RAM but lubuntu runs slowly, slower than windows xp does, so I'm not sure where these problems come from [04:41] hungtran: I've filed a report to the dev team. [04:42] as it is a small team, it may be couple of days before I have a resolution for you. My initial thinking is to use 10.04 [04:44] If you do not have a 10.04 disk, then I can give you link to get one. [04:46] phillw: thank you, I get one :) [04:47] do you need a link to get it? [04:47] I hold copies on my server area. [04:47] phillw: I'm going to have a talk a FOSSASIA 2010 in Vietnam, I'm going to introduce Lubuntu, so I think I should use the new release [04:49] okay, the dev team are usually quick responding to an email via the mailing list. [04:49] hungtran: you may want to have read through and join https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/GettingInvolved [04:52] hungtran: it's obvious that you want push lubuntu out, so by doing that you will get up to date information of where the project is at. [04:53] phillw: oh I joined as translator, I'm in launchpad and mailing list too [04:54] you will see the reply to my earlier question about update-mamnager, then :) [04:55] once it is replied to :D [04:58] phillw: uh oh, I misunderstand, what uses 10 MB RAM is "update-notifier" not "update-manager", update-notifier runs automatically in the background and update-manager is just a gtk application [04:59] ::sigh :: [04:59] okies I'll update the email, you should get a copy of it. [05:00] oh sorry [05:00] but the same question, is it safe to remove it, i mean update-notifier [05:01] yeah, trash it. you not need it - as you said, you manually update [05:02] wazzzup [05:02] ya'll [05:02] g'day zkriesse [05:03] phillw: you could let me update on mailing list [05:03] hey phillw [05:03] phillw: who was that guy (your buddy?) that was setting up a forum? [05:03] hungtran: have you had my update through? [05:04] ah, i got it [05:04] zkriesse: offtopic, please [05:04] reply to all !!!!! [05:07] hungtran: please do not spam the mailing list, not that I need to tell you that. The lubuntu team is real small & we all put in what spare time we have into project (and then some more). [05:09] phillw: I'm sorry so sorry :( [05:10] hungtran: you never need to apologise, I was not saying that you had, only requesting that you do not :D [05:28] :D [05:28] I can help too :-) [05:28] sorry [05:28] !lubuntu [05:28] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment.
