[01:27] how can i take a screenshot in lubuntu? [01:29] you may have to install a program [01:30] how? [01:32] In your main lxde button, under Preferences there is the Synaptic Package manager [01:32] from there you can install anything [01:32] it asks for a password [01:33] czz: are you on the livecd? [01:33] stlsaint, no [01:33] well enter your password [01:34] not my computer. [01:36] well who's ever computer it is needs to enter their login password [01:37] they're gone. [01:38] well you wont be able to install anything without their password [01:39] how'd you come to that conclusion? [01:39] czz: are you new to linux? [01:39] stlsaint, no [01:40] czz: alright so you understand that it requires root access to install anything [01:41] stlsaint, why? [01:42] phillw: ping [01:43] czz, press PrintScreen, this should make a screenshot in your home folder [01:43] czz: i didnt make the operating system [01:43] at least it works this way in default installation [01:43] szczur, i want to edit the area. [01:44] so Alt+PrintScreen gets the actual window [01:44] czz: well boot to livecd and take screenshot from there [01:45] or install gnome-screenshot [01:45] ahh, you don't know the password >_> [01:45] ... [01:45] hehe [01:46] stlsaint, livecd? [01:46] czz: how much experience do you have with linux? [01:46] stlsaint, tons [01:47] i see [01:47] phillw: PING [01:47] stlsaint, i code for bsd [01:48] so you should know what livecd is [01:48] if you're using sich system like BSD [01:48] szczur, not necessary [01:48] which is harder by any meaning :) [01:48] bioterror: PING [01:49] czz, here is the iso http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/lubuntu-10.10.iso [01:49] downlod, burn, boot [01:49] szczur, how do i burn? [01:49] PING PING PING [01:49] holy crap where is everyone!!!!!!!!!!!! [02:21] thank God === zkriesse__ is now known as zkriesse_ [04:47] good morning techniicans [04:51] ubuXubu: hiyas, sorry I was on the offtopic room, how may we help you? [04:52] 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. [04:57] 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] thank you. [08:04] hi [08:04] after the latest update of flashplayer nonfree it stopped to work [08:05] what is the best way to revert to an older version? a .deb? [08:16] sgh: are you running 10.10 lubuntu? [08:26] phillw: yeah [08:27] I'm using xorg-edgers PPA aswell but they don't maintain any flash player there [08:27] there is a lubuntu-restricted packages that may revert it for you. [08:28] sgh: I'd have to a bit of digging, but I will have the link somewhere [08:36] phillw: sorry, I forgot to mention that I don't use Chromium. I use Firefox, therefore I talk about flash player nonfree [08:37] well I will use Chromium for flash related things till the problem gets solved by an update or something like that then [08:37] sgh: ahh.... that's different then... give me a couple of minutes to drag up the link for FFox [08:39] sgh: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1193567 and lovinglinux is a really nice guy as well. [08:47] phillw: thanks for the link, I'll search for a solution [08:49] 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. [08:59] phillw: I've just realized some odd behaviour. Chromium can't play any flash videos aswell [08:59] lubuntu-restricted extras is installed [09:01] 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? [09:02] have you updated your system today or yesterday? my problem occured after updating yesterday [09:03] 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. [09:04] but that would be the flash plugin, and affect all of the *buntu family. [09:05] okay [09:05] thanks for your help and advice :) [09:07] sgh: I'm just checking with a forum staffer to see if it is a general problem. [09:08] u may not have installed .deb [09:09] or in some cases the correct one to choose is 8.04 i have noticed [09:09] maybe somehow the update altered that [09:09] 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" [09:10] hmm [09:11] * phillw so there is no reports on the forum area of an issue, sgh log a post to lovinglinux's thread. [09:29] 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] well that problem is solved now, thank you [09:30] next time I'll look into the thread by lovinglinux first [09:31] sgh: good to hear, glad it sorted and glad to have been of help in pointing you in the right direction :) [10:34] I would suggest to use Chromium [11:07] hello [11:31] can someone help me with the alternative version === yofel_ is now known as yofel === devil__ is now known as Mohan_chml === SortiE|A is now known as SortiE === SuperHark is now known as MichealH [16:15] is there lubuntu 10.10 available?

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

[20:48] Swap is much slower than ram. [20:48] ahh yehh [20:48] true [20:48] swap is slower than ram and wears out your hdd [20:48] cus its hdd [20:48] kosaidpo: you can increase swappiness, but as head_victim says it will slow your system down. [20:48] i read that somewhere [20:50] okies guys thanks u jst makde me rember that fact [20:50] btw how can i make conky use some cool pic to show the stats of the machine [20:59] 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 [21:00] Mine's a bit boring http://www.flickr.com/photos/45015261@N04/5092405565/ [21:00] acydlord: thanks but ihave like this one [21:01] guys ill showu mine is very simple [21:07] here u go guys http://i53.tinypic.com/7160s4.png [21:07] se mine its so basic [21:07] head_victim: :S [21:09] 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 [21:10] yeah but thees some fany sets so u kno [21:10] somtimes ucan resit it [21:10] 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 [21:11] head_victim: same here, i have my ~/.config in my dropbox lol [21:11] acydlord: yeah only bummer is different hardware has different sensor setups. [21:12] head_victim: I actually have that coded in since conky supports booleans [21:13] 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] The only thing I really would like to add would probably be the external IP listing under network. [21:13] head_victim: im lookin in the post u gave me [21:13] im llokin for sumthin ready :S [21:14] head_victim: that is one i should add to my network section [21:14] 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] should probably add my virtualbox ip as well so i dont have to dig for it [21:15] 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] ahh, i have a custom script i built on weather.com but i'm going to be switching it to wunderground soon [21:16] guys nethin fancy here [21:16] acydlord: do they require accounts? [21:17] head_victim: they're built on api calls [21:17] so nopes [21:17] well they require my API key, and weather.com tends to be a bit greedy if too many people use that one [21:17] part of why im switching to wunderground [21:17] 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. [21:19] cool part about having a premium account on wunderground is that you can develop with your key so users dont need an account [21:20] guys im lookin fro sumthin fancy [21:20] please any links [21:22] kosaidpo: http://conkyhardcore.com/ [21:23] head_victim: thanks [21:23] kosaidpo: http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/conky also in their forums are many good conkyrc files with screenshots [21:27] http://szczur.ath.cx/sshots/screen4.png < this is mine [21:28] pretty minimal [21:29] I still use the default desktop on the basis I never actually see my desktop, there's always stuff open [21:30] i usually change mine up since i run practically everything except mail and browser in tilda terminals [21:31] Currently on the pc over <- way I have me-tv running and this one has xchat, 2 text files and a terminal open.
