hblounthi. a have lubuntu 10.10. i have problem with video not showing, only audio works. this just started happening, after i tried to "repair"  an incomplete file with VLC. now nothing wokrs and all videos only have audio and a black screen. i tried reboot,check diff video files,and use other players. same problem. can anyone help?00:21
hblountstreaming vids from websites like youtube still works00:22
mark76I have no idea what to do about that00:24
phillwhblount: I can only suggest that you force a removal of VLC (mark for complete removal), your data will be safe. Then re-install it.00:25
hblountphillw: so you think that will solve video issue for any/all media players and all my video files?00:37
phillwhblount: I've never had an issue with VLC, but removing a programme will not remove your data.00:41
hblountyeah but i tried movie player and gnome mplayer, same black screen with only audio. removing vlc can still fix a problem like this?00:43
phillwhblount: I think you have more complicated problem, if you head over to http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=334 they are much more experienced with such stuff. Just use the lubuntu tag, so they know you are not running standard ubuntu :)00:46
hblountok. thanks00:47

gilirbioterror, ubuntu-bug lxappearance19:30
mark76I find the best way to get transparency in Lubuntu is to not use the new version of PCManFM to manage the desktop19:31
kosaidpomark76: uhm how so ,i shud remove  my current version ?19:32
mark76No, keep it. Just use Nitrogen or Feh for the wallpaper and have a dock for apps19:32
mark76Or a second LXPanel19:34

mark76I have no idea how to add things to autostart in Lubuntu20:46
kosaidpoi do : D20:46
mark76I think you have to drag the .desktop or bin file into ~/.config/autostart20:46
kosaidpoin ~/.config/autostart just take the skelton n adapt it to ur app20:47
kosaidpoyou .desktop file20:47
kosaidponot bit20:47
mark76Yeah20:47
kosaidpoi guess the .desktop its in /usr/applications right20:47
kosaidpolet me check20:47
kosaidpoits in /usr/share/applications and theres no nitogen so i have jst adapt it as isaid20:50
mark76It should be in /usr/bin20:51
kosaidpoyeh i found it but its exe file20:53
kosaidpoi guess i jst need to take a any .desktop file n change its things to nitogen20:53
mark76Yeah20:54
kosaidpowhats the inteface that it ll be used instead of gnome20:55
kosaidpoin the next release20:55
