ahh_there is one strange problem though which I didn't have with vanilla Ubuntu 10.10 (this is Lubuntu 10.10) The audio is output through the laptop speakers and my stereo at the same time. I'd prefer to have it play on my stereo only when I plug in the mini jack.03:44
ahh_any idea why that might be?03:44
bioterrorthat's weird03:46
bioterrormy lubuntu doesnt do that03:46
ahh_my setup is a bit different I guess. the audio jack is on the attached docking station03:49
bioterrorhmmm03:49
bioterrorthat should not change anything03:49
ahh_just tried plugging in the mini jack to the actual laptop and that silenced the laptop speakers03:49
bioterrortechnically that's a bug03:50
bioterrorcan someone confirm?03:50
bioterrorI've not seen my laptops ultrabay for a ½ year :D03:50

kosaidpoi have xls files and iwanna cut off a part of it n  put in a text file i do this  cut -d , -f 1 "promotion immobiliere.xls" > test.txt  but i cant read the that file12:00
kosaidpohungtran: hello can you help please12:01
hyperairkosaidpo: xls isn't a plain-text format. cut only works on a plain-text format. you'll have to dump it out into a .csv file first.12:01
hyperairkosaidpo: both excel and openoffice calc have that feature.12:02
hyperairafter that you can run that command, replacing xls with csv12:02
kosaidpohyperair: i have Gnumeric  in lubuntu12:02

phillwkosaidpo: does gnumeric not have a "Save As" button?12:18
kosaidpophillw: tied that but still like .xls12:19
phillwkosaidpo: when you "Save As" it should give the option to save as csv, but you do need to choose that, else it will just use the default .xls12:20
kosaidpoyehh i modified that name and it gives a gedit icon but when i open it it does with gnumeic well12:21
kosaidpoill try with cmmd n see if it ll wok tho12:21

YorvykDoesn’t Win7 have an Internet sharing option?14:16

stlsaintphillw: the package "touchfreeze" is not in repos for lubuntu15:22
phillwstlsaint: it is in Universe. As Universe is a listed repo for Lubuntu, I can only think there is a gremlin somewhere.15:24
stlsaintJoeMaverickSett: hey man how you doing15:24
stlsaintChanServ:15:24
stlsaintopps15:24
phillwgilir: / hyperair can you have look as to why http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/touchfreeze is in Universe but not available in Lubuntu please. Thanks15:25

hyperairphillw: define "not available in lubuntu"15:33
phillwstlsaint: you know those dreaded MOTU's... one wants to have a chat with you.15:34
phillwhyperair: it is stlsaint, one of the UBT guys who is also a lubuntueer now who is having the problem.15:35
hyperairphillw: is it available on your lubuntu lucid machine?15:35
phillwhyperair: I'm still running ubuntu 9.10 (not updated) as my usb 3G device will not work with later kernels.... I've no idea where stlsaint has hidden.15:37
hyperairheh15:37
hyperairphillw: well, ask to see his /etc/apt/sources.list15:37
hyperairif it's in lucid universe, then as long as he has universe sources, it'll be available15:38
phillwhyperair: thanks, boss. I'll let him know15:38
stlsaintsup?15:39
phillwhyperair: speak of the devil, here he is :)15:39
hyperairheh15:39
hyperairstlsaint: what's the issue with touchfreeze?15:40

hyperairthe package must have been removed for some reason or other15:41
stlsaintyep yep15:41
keaksterI want my external hard drives to show up on my desktop like they did in Ubuntu, is this possible/how? thanks!16:07
phillwkeakster: it is not possible at the moment. But it is on the wish-list of functionallity. Lubuntu has to run too such a tight resource usage we cannot add everything on, else we would be Ubuntu.16:13
keaksterthanks for an answer, I still like Lubuntu better!16:14
