| czz | how can i take a screenshot in lubuntu? | 01:27 |
|---|---|---|
| stlsaint | you may have to install a program | 01:29 |
| czz | how? | 01:30 |
| stlsaint | In your main lxde button, under Preferences there is the Synaptic Package manager | 01:32 |
| stlsaint | from there you can install anything | 01:32 |
| czz | it asks for a password | 01:32 |
| stlsaint | czz: are you on the livecd? | 01:33 |
| czz | stlsaint, no | 01:33 |
| stlsaint | well enter your password | 01:33 |
| czz | not my computer. | 01:34 |
| stlsaint | well who's ever computer it is needs to enter their login password | 01:36 |
| czz | they're gone. | 01:37 |
| stlsaint | well you wont be able to install anything without their password | 01:38 |
| czz | how'd you come to that conclusion? | 01:39 |
| stlsaint | czz: are you new to linux? | 01:39 |
| czz | stlsaint, no | 01:39 |
| stlsaint | czz: alright so you understand that it requires root access to install anything | 01:40 |
| czz | stlsaint, why? | 01:41 |
| stlsaint | phillw: ping | 01:42 |
| szczur | czz, press PrintScreen, this should make a screenshot in your home folder | 01:43 |
| stlsaint | czz: i didnt make the operating system | 01:43 |
| szczur | at least it works this way in default installation | 01:43 |
| czz | szczur, i want to edit the area. | 01:43 |
| szczur | so Alt+PrintScreen gets the actual window | 01:44 |
| stlsaint | czz: well boot to livecd and take screenshot from there | 01:44 |
| szczur | or install gnome-screenshot | 01:45 |
| szczur | ahh, you don't know the password >_> | 01:45 |
| szczur | ... | 01:45 |
| stlsaint | hehe | 01:45 |
| czz | stlsaint, livecd? | 01:46 |
| stlsaint | czz: how much experience do you have with linux? | 01:46 |
| czz | stlsaint, tons | 01:46 |
| szczur | i see | 01:47 |
| stlsaint | phillw: PING | 01:47 |
| czz | stlsaint, i code for bsd | 01:47 |
| szczur | so you should know what livecd is | 01:48 |
| szczur | if you're using sich system like BSD | 01:48 |
| czz | szczur, not necessary | 01:48 |
| szczur | which is harder by any meaning :) | 01:48 |
| stlsaint | bioterror: PING | 01:48 |
| szczur | czz, here is the iso http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/lubuntu-10.10.iso | 01:49 |
| szczur | downlod, burn, boot | 01:49 |
| czz | szczur, how do i burn? | 01:49 |
| stlsaint | PING PING PING | 01:49 |
| stlsaint | holy crap where is everyone!!!!!!!!!!!! | 01:49 |
| stlsaint | thank God | 02:21 |

| ubuXubu | good morning techniicans | 04:47 |
| phillw | ubuXubu: hiyas, sorry I was on the offtopic room, how may we help you? | 04:51 |
| ubuXubu | i am not sure you can help me a this time. i am currently running ubuntu 10.04 and everything seems to be fine. thank you for asking. aloha. | 04:52 |
| phillw | ubuXubu: join #lubuntu-offtopic although if you're running ubuntu you may be better off on #ubuntu-beginners lubuntu is one of the family | 04:57 |
| ubuXubu | thank you. | 04:57 |
| sgh | hi | 08:04 |
| sgh | after the latest update of flashplayer nonfree it stopped to work | 08:04 |
| sgh | what is the best way to revert to an older version? a .deb? | 08:05 |
| phillw | sgh: are you running 10.10 lubuntu? | 08:16 |
| sgh | phillw: yeah | 08:26 |
| sgh | I'm using xorg-edgers PPA aswell but they don't maintain any flash player there | 08:27 |
| phillw | there is a lubuntu-restricted packages that may revert it for you. | 08:27 |
| phillw | sgh: I'd have to a bit of digging, but I will have the link somewhere | 08:28 |
| sgh | phillw: sorry, I forgot to mention that I don't use Chromium. I use Firefox, therefore I talk about flash player nonfree | 08:36 |
| sgh | well I will use Chromium for flash related things till the problem gets solved by an update or something like that then | 08:37 |
| phillw | sgh: ahh.... that's different then... give me a couple of minutes to drag up the link for FFox | 08:37 |
| phillw | sgh: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1193567 and lovinglinux is a really nice guy as well. | 08:39 |
| sgh | phillw: thanks for the link, I'll search for a solution | 08:47 |
| phillw | sgh: he keeps the documentation really up to date, as fellow documenter I really appreciate the work he puts in to it and the fact he will always reply to people with problems on that thread. | 08:49 |
| sgh | phillw: I've just realized some odd behaviour. Chromium can't play any flash videos aswell | 08:59 |
| sgh | lubuntu-restricted extras is installed | 08:59 |
| phillw | sgh: I have both browsers and have no problem on either, so I'm unsure as to where your problem lies. maybe bioterror can help? | 09:01 |
| sgh | have you updated your system today or yesterday? my problem occured after updating yesterday | 09:02 |
| phillw | my advice in that case would be to log a post on to lovinglinux's thread, as it is possible that they have broken something. | 09:03 |
| phillw | but that would be the flash plugin, and affect all of the *buntu family. | 09:04 |
| sgh | okay | 09:05 |
| sgh | thanks for your help and advice :) | 09:05 |
| phillw | sgh: I'm just checking with a forum staffer to see if it is a general problem. | 09:07 |
| ubuXubu | u may not have installed .deb | 09:08 |
| ubuXubu | or in some cases the correct one to choose is 8.04 i have noticed | 09:09 |
| ubuXubu | maybe somehow the update altered that | 09:09 |
| phillw | sgh: "not that I know of - I've not got a flash update - or if I have I didn't notice either it or it causing issues" | 09:09 |
| ubuXubu | hmm | 09:10 |
| * phillw so there is no reports on the forum area of an issue, sgh log a post to lovinglinux's thread. | 09:11 | |
| sgh | after looking for the exact name of the component which was updated in synaptic I realized that it wasn't installed, quite odd because I watched some youtube videos yesterday (and Firefox 3.6 doesn't support html5 view) | 09:29 |
| sgh | well that problem is solved now, thank you | 09:29 |
| sgh | next time I'll look into the thread by lovinglinux first | 09:30 |
| phillw | sgh: good to hear, glad it sorted and glad to have been of help in pointing you in the right direction :) | 09:31 |
| bioterror | I would suggest to use Chromium | 10:34 |
| NativeAngels | hello | 11:07 |

| pizux | hi | 17:11 |
| bioterror | howdy | 17:12 |
| pizux | hey i've just finished a script with zenity very usefull for link an icon shortcut on lxde desktop | 17:12 |
| pizux | is someone want to test it http://pastebin.com/CA80A2AX | 17:12 |
| kosaidpo1 | hello peolpe | 17:13 |
| pizux | hello kosaidpo1 | 17:14 |
| kosaidpo1 | pizux: : ) | 17:15 |
| kosaidpo1 | do you kno any way to foce the mahcine to use more swap ?? | 17:15 |
| pizux | something like that ?sudo sysctl vm.swappiness | 17:20 |
| pizux | sudo sysctl -w vm.swappiness=100 | 17:21 |
| pizux | default is 60 | 17:21 |
| Kurdistan | sysctl vm.swappiness=100 | 17:22 |
| szczur | ohh, didn't know that :) | 17:22 |
| szczur | thanks pizux | 17:22 |
| szczur | :) | 17:22 |
| pizux | add it to /etc/sysctl.conf | 17:23 |
| szczur | hmm, so lower number would force it to use ram in favor of swap, forcing background processes go there, am i right? | 17:25 |
| Kurdistan | pizux he dont need if use command that I posted, but this is how he can do. gksudo leafpad /etc/sysctl.conf | 17:25 |
| Kurdistan | then add this in the botton vm.swappiness = 100 and finally save it | 17:26 |
| Kurdistan | after reboot it will use 100 % | 17:26 |
| Kurdistan | cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness <<<--- by this command you can know how much it is | 17:26 |
| bioterror | why you guy swant to play with swap?-) | 17:27 |
| szczur | just tinkering :P | 17:27 |
| pizux | because it don't have any ram maybe | 17:27 |
| szczur | :>>> | 17:27 |
| Kurdistan | pizux, you can make ram with help of gparted | 17:28 |
| Kurdistan | if you have lubuntu livecd | 17:29 |
| Kurdistan | use it | 17:29 |
| Kurdistan | install gparted and then make swap partition | 17:29 |
| Kurdistan | it is really easy | 17:29 |
| szczur | or make a swapfile | 17:29 |
| szczur | no need of paritioning | 17:30 |
| szczur | http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/ | 17:30 |
| Kurdistan | szcur :) your link is easy good for pizux. maybee my way is more difficult. | 17:31 |
| szczur | Kurdistan, your way is as good as mine :) | 17:31 |
| szczur | just doesn't need partitioning | 17:31 |
| kosaidpo | hello guys | 17:32 |
| kosaidpo | icant launch my compy on start up | 17:32 |
| kosaidpo | even i put a file .conky | 17:32 |
| kosaidpo | still not | 17:32 |
| bioterror | just installing conky to my wife's fresh lubuntu installation ;) | 17:32 |
| szczur | i think conky is probably runing, but pcmanfm is in front of it | 17:33 |
| szczur | there was a conky setting for lxde with pcmanfm, just forgot where it was | 17:33 |
| kosaidpo | bioterror: well the install was cool now when i launch it it has that bar from where ican lose it nad stuff | 17:33 |
| kosaidpo | and icant get it tp launch durin the boot | 17:34 |
| Kurdistan | I think lubuntu 10.10 is a bit buggy compare to 10.04 | 17:34 |
| kosaidpo | szczur: does it have problems with pcmanfm?? | 17:34 |
| szczur | make sure that your conky rc have options mentioned in this post (last code) | 17:35 |
| szczur | i know it is in polish :) | 17:35 |
| Kurdistan | kasaidpo, write conky on run. you will see it if lxde menu does not show it. | 17:35 |
| szczur | http://debian.linux.pl/threads/10785-conky-pod-lxde | 17:35 |
| kosaidpo | szczur: okies | 17:35 |
| Kurdistan | or what was your problem? | 17:35 |
| szczur | or maybe i think this will be better > http://blog.lxde.org/?p=684 | 17:35 |
| szczur | kosaidpo, and before you will do anything | 17:36 |

| kosaidpo | how can i make the most use of swap as in use it more n let the ram be lil cool | 20:47 |
| head_victim | You don't really want to use swap I wouldn't have thought. | 20:47 |
| head_victim | Swap is much slower than ram. | 20:48 |
| kosaidpo | ahh yehh | 20:48 |
| kosaidpo | true | 20:48 |
| acydlord | swap is slower than ram and wears out your hdd | 20:48 |
| kosaidpo | cus its hdd | 20:48 |
| phillw | kosaidpo: you can increase swappiness, but as head_victim says it will slow your system down. | 20:48 |
| kosaidpo | i read that somewhere | 20:48 |
| kosaidpo | okies guys thanks u jst makde me rember that fact | 20:50 |
| kosaidpo | btw how can i make conky use some cool pic to show the stats of the machine | 20:50 |
| acydlord | kosaidpo: i've got a conky that is basically the same is this one if you want it https://dl.dropbox.com/u/150051/dhs.jpg | 20:59 |
| head_victim | Mine's a bit boring http://www.flickr.com/photos/45015261@N04/5092405565/ | 21:00 |
| kosaidpo | acydlord: thanks but ihave like this one | 21:00 |
| kosaidpo | guys ill showu mine is very simple | 21:01 |
| kosaidpo | here u go guys http://i53.tinypic.com/7160s4.png | 21:07 |
| kosaidpo | se mine its so basic | 21:07 |
| kosaidpo | head_victim: :S | 21:07 |
| acydlord | I keep everything minimalistic on mine, the only difference from the one I posted and now is that the current has epoch time and weather | 21:09 |
| kosaidpo | yeah but thees some fany sets so u kno | 21:10 |
| kosaidpo | somtimes ucan resit it | 21:10 |
| head_victim | I try to mirror mine across all the desktops and laptops I have so I can always just look to wherever I need to find stuff | 21:10 |
| acydlord | head_victim: same here, i have my ~/.config in my dropbox lol | 21:11 |
| head_victim | acydlord: yeah only bummer is different hardware has different sensor setups. | 21:11 |
| acydlord | head_victim: I actually have that coded in since conky supports booleans | 21:12 |
| head_victim | acydlord: fair enough, I decided I'd spent too much time on it already when I got it to the stage I'm at now ;) | 21:13 |
| head_victim | The only thing I really would like to add would probably be the external IP listing under network. | 21:13 |
| kosaidpo | head_victim: im lookin in the post u gave me | 21:13 |
| kosaidpo | im llokin for sumthin ready :S | 21:13 |
| acydlord | head_victim: that is one i should add to my network section | 21:14 |
| head_victim | I've thought about making email and weather show up instead of the inbound and outbound connections but I still run gnome-weather on the main pc. | 21:14 |
| acydlord | should probably add my virtualbox ip as well so i dont have to dig for it | 21:14 |
| head_victim | I'm on a dynamic IP so it kinda makes it hard to remember. Also when using the wireless on the laptop I get different ones every time. | 21:15 |
| acydlord | ahh, i have a custom script i built on weather.com but i'm going to be switching it to wunderground soon | 21:15 |
| kosaidpo | guys nethin fancy here | 21:16 |
| head_victim | acydlord: do they require accounts? | 21:16 |
| acydlord | head_victim: they're built on api calls | 21:17 |
| acydlord | so nopes | 21:17 |
| acydlord | well they require my API key, and weather.com tends to be a bit greedy if too many people use that one | 21:17 |
| acydlord | part of why im switching to wunderground | 21:17 |
| head_victim | Ah k when I was looking into it they almost all seemed to call for api calls to sites you had to have accounts for and I just decided it wasn't worth the effort. | 21:17 |
| acydlord | cool part about having a premium account on wunderground is that you can develop with your key so users dont need an account | 21:19 |
| kosaidpo | guys im lookin fro sumthin fancy | 21:20 |
| kosaidpo | please any links | 21:20 |
| head_victim | kosaidpo: http://conkyhardcore.com/ | 21:22 |
| kosaidpo | head_victim: thanks | 21:23 |
| acydlord | kosaidpo: http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/conky also in their forums are many good conkyrc files with screenshots | 21:23 |
| szczur | http://szczur.ath.cx/sshots/screen4.png < this is mine | 21:27 |
| szczur | pretty minimal | 21:28 |
| head_victim | I still use the default desktop on the basis I never actually see my desktop, there's always stuff open | 21:29 |
| acydlord | i usually change mine up since i run practically everything except mail and browser in tilda terminals | 21:30 |
| head_victim | Currently on the pc over <- way I have me-tv running and this one has xchat, 2 text files and a terminal open. | 21:31 |
