| semitones | will lubuntu be official by april? | 00:08 |
| stlsaint | semitones: no telling | 00:13 |
| Bookman | How do I create a usb bootable stick with an .iso image file? | 03:03 |
| semitones | does lubuntu have system> admininstration> startup disk creator? | 03:05 |
| Bookman | That is what I was looking for. I installed it, but cannot find it. | 03:06 |
| Bookman | Never mind....found it!!! | 03:06 |
| Bookman | Ah, but it does not let me select a downloaded .iso file that I have on my desktop | 03:08 |
| semitones | i wish i could help -- but I don't have lubuntu installed at the moment... | 03:08 |
| semitones | on ubuntu you can choose the iso file | 03:09 |
| semitones | http://i.imgur.com/jT4FU.png | 03:12 |
| semitones | is what i see | 03:12 |
| Bookman | Yes, here I cannot. | 03:12 |
| Bookman | Hmm. | 03:12 |
| Bookman | I hit 'other' and select the image but it does not show up in the list | 03:13 |
| head_victim | Is that in Ubuntu or Lubuntu? | 03:13 |
| Bookman | Lubuntu | 03:13 |
| head_victim | Ok just installing it so I can have a look for you | 03:14 |
| head_victim | What program did you install? usb-creator ? | 03:16 |
| Bookman | I believe that is what it was called | 03:16 |
| head_victim | So where does it install to, I can't find it on the menu's either | 03:17 |
| Bookman | Preferences | 03:17 |
| head_victim | ah you installed the -gtk one I guess | 03:18 |
| Bookman | Preferences>Startup DisckCreator | 03:18 |
| Bookman | yes | 03:18 |
| head_victim | Ok now I'm with you sorry. I've used it heaps before but not under lubuntu | 03:18 |
| Bookman | No problem. I've used it under ubuntu and it worked. | 03:19 |
| head_victim | Ok I can select any iso | 03:19 |
| Bookman | hmm | 03:19 |
| head_victim | I'm not certain but a common problem is the lack of gvfs-backend package you might have a look at if you haven't already | 03:19 |
| head_victim | Explained here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ReleaseNotes/MaverickMeerkat/#Network File Browsing with PCManFM | 03:20 |
| Bookman | Is there anything else that will do it? | 03:20 |
| Bookman | Without a ton of background work? | 03:20 |
| head_victim | so do you have gvfs-backends installed? | 03:21 |
| Bookman | yes | 03:22 |
| head_victim | So when you hit "other" it just doesn't do anything? | 03:23 |
| Bookman | Yes, file selector window opens, I navigate to the .iso I want is. I select that .iso. It does not show up in the source window. | 03:24 |
| Bookman | the file selector window closes though | 03:24 |
| head_victim | I'm sorry I can't reproduce that at all. I was hoping to get to the same spot as you do so I could help but mine is just working | 03:25 |
| Bookman | Must be something wrong with my install | 03:26 |
| head_victim | The mailing list might be more useful for you though, https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop has the email address and signup details | 03:26 |
| Bookman | I will try to completely remove it and reinstall it. | 03:27 |
| Bookman | If that doesn't work, I'll boot into Ubuntu and get the work done there. | 03:28 |
| head_victim | Ok mate, sorry I couldn't help | 03:28 |
| Bookman | Nope, same fault....something must be wrong with my machine here....or my install of Lubuntu is not working correctly | 03:29 |
| Bookman | No other software can do this same thing???? | 03:30 |
| head_victim | I'm sure there's heaps but that's the only one I've ever used | 03:32 |
| head_victim | You could try to load it from cli and see if it throws any errors you can debug | 03:33 |
| Bookman | what is the actual program name? | 03:34 |
| Bookman | that is actually a good idea and I should have already thought of that | 03:34 |
| head_victim | usb-creator-gtk I think | 03:35 |
| Bookman | nope, no error | 03:36 |
| Bookman | It just does not select the file that I select | 03:36 |
| Bookman | It does have two selected by default that are in my downloads directory. They are both lubuntu .isos | 03:36 |
| Bookman | did you try with a non lubuntu .iso file? | 03:37 |
| head_victim | Yeah I used the Ubuntu 64 bit alternate | 03:37 |
| Bookman | Ok, then that is not it. | 03:38 |
| head_victim | Try running as sudo? | 03:38 |
| Bookman | Good idea, but no. | 03:39 |
| Bookman | Same thing | 03:39 |
| Bookman | But, it did not pre-select the lubuntu .iso files in the downloads directory | 03:40 |
| head_victim | Sorry mate I'm running out of ideas :/; | 03:42 |
| Bookman | No problemo.....I'll try under Ubuntu and see what happens! | 03:43 |
| Bookman | Thanks for trying though. | 03:43 |
| head_victim | You're welcome | 03:45 |
| Bookman | head_victim, nope, does not work under Ubuntu either. | 04:02 |
| head_victim | Bookman: that is really weird. | 04:03 |
| head_victim | I'm sorry but I'm organising myself to head off to work though. | 04:03 |
| head_victim | Might be a file browser type issue? I'm not really sure | 04:03 |
| Bookman | No problem. Have a great day! | 04:03 |
| head_victim | Or might be a problem with the one ISO | 04:03 |
| Bookman | Yeah, I'm trying another iso | 04:04 |
| Bookman | no matter what I try it does not work | 04:22 |
| Bookman | My son has a windows 7 machine, let's see if that will get the job done | 04:22 |
| Umino948 | hi | 04:31 |
| Umino948 | anyone there ? | 04:32 |
| Bookman | Yes | 04:32 |
| Umino948 | i have a question ... may be a noobish one ... | 04:33 |
| Umino948 | is it ok ? | 04:33 |
| Bookman | yup | 04:33 |
| Umino948 | how "easy" is it to use lubuntu when you are a total noob ... is it as easy as the original ubuntu or ar there differences? | 04:34 |
| Bookman | Pretty easy and help is right here. | 04:35 |
| Umino948 | the thing is ... i want to give a friend a computer ... some old pentium III running at 1000mhz and 512 mb of RAM | 04:36 |
| Umino948 | i like ubuntu because its easy to use but i'm a bit concerned about the system being not powerfull enough ... | 04:37 |
| Umino948 | searching the web i heard that lubuntu is more resource efficient | 04:37 |
| Bookman | I should work. I have a similar system here and it works just fine | 04:38 |
| Umino948 | ok ... and it is about as easy to install new stuff via the built in packet manager ? | 04:39 |
| Bookman | On another note, the Startup Disk Creator definately does not work. | 04:39 |
| Bookman | Umino948, yup, no issues on my end | 04:39 |
| Bookman | Worked just great! | 04:39 |
| Umino948 | what does it do ? buld an emergency disk ? | 04:39 |
| Umino948 | *buil | 04:39 |
| Umino948 | i'm trying to install it on a virtual machine to test it but it looks like it doesnt work ... | 04:44 |
| Bookman | Umino948, what does not work? | 04:45 |
| Umino948 | well nothing ... a black screen is all i get ... | 04:45 |
| Bookman | ok, under a vm you get a black screen? | 04:46 |
| Umino948 | i'm using virtualbox 4.0.0 on a windows 7 host | 04:46 |
| Umino948 | yes ... the vm "screen" stays black right after booting the CD image | 04:46 |
| Bookman | Ok, 64 bit windows 7 and 64 bit lubuntu? | 04:47 |
| Umino948 | nope ... 32bit ... | 04:47 |
| Bookman | 32 bit windows 7 and 32 bit lubuntu? | 04:47 |
| Umino948 | i guess... got the iso frum lubuntu.net ... doesnt say anything if its 32 or 64 bit ... | 04:48 |
| Umino948 | filename just says lubuntu-10.10.iso | 04:49 |
| Bookman | Well, under Windows 7 I do not have experience, sorry about that. | 04:50 |
| Bookman | I'm trying Windows 7 to solve my USB creation problems at the moment | 04:50 |
| Umino948 | i'll try it on real hardware ... be right back ... | 04:50 |
| Umino948 | ok .. seems like it just doesnt like the VM ... | 04:54 |
| Umino948 | on my old athlon @ 1200mhz with 386mb RAM the disk starts fine | 04:55 |
| Bookman | Should work on your minimal hardware (my dream machine when I was 20!) | 04:57 |
| Umino948 | how old are you now ? | 05:00 |
| Bookman | ? | 05:01 |
| Bookman | 150 years Linux time | 05:01 |
| Umino948 | i mean ... because you said that "minimal hardware was your dream machine when you were 20 ... so i guess you are older now | 05:02 |
| Bookman | Yes....I started with a TRS-80 COCO | 05:03 |
| Umino948 | WTF is that ? | 05:03 |
| Bookman | There you go | 05:03 |
| Bookman | Tandy | 05:03 |
| Bookman | Radio Shack | 05:03 |
| phillw | Umino948 you have an invite | 05:05 |
| Umino948 | good old motorola 68xx CPU | 05:05 |
| Umino948 | haha ... right dragon .. | 05:05 |
| Bookman | there you go!!!! | 05:05 |

| bioterror | which is allowed in many places | 07:33 |

| bioterror | geee | 08:10 |
| bioterror | what I shame we cant answer to question in 3 mins | 08:10 |
| bioterror | tbqh we should have a proper wiki for these kind of things in lubuntu | 08:33 |
| bioterror | how to add stuff to menu | 08:34 |
| bioterror | cp /usr/share/applications/bmon.desktop /usr/share/applications/new.desktop | 08:34 |
| bioterror | and tell to edit to a proper one | 08:34 |
| bioterror | Yorvyk, what do you think | 08:35 |
| Yorvyk | bioterror: I'm writing some stuff at the moment to add to the wiki, I've been noting the questions that keep occuring. | 08:46 |
| bioterror | http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ this is really... just a "documentation" | 08:46 |
| Yorvyk | That's the problem through out Linux. There is documentation but, it is scattered all over or intended for developers, or out of date. | 08:48 |
| bioterror | yes, that's not helping random joiners | 08:48 |
| bioterror | everything is explained to through out and one with the ADHD cant read that much information | 08:49 |
| bioterror | too | 08:49 |
| bioterror | he needs an example right now and what all those lines means | 08:49 |
| Yorvyk | That's why the man pages aren't of use to newbies; no examples | 08:50 |
| Yorvyk | The clock settings highlight another problem; it tells you to see the man page to alter it, when what's really needed is a simple GUI with a couple of standard settings to choose from. | 08:55 |
| edster_ | anyone using pidgin on lubuntu 10.10? i'm getting segmentation fault | 09:01 |
| bioterror | edster_, have you loaded any plugins_ | 09:08 |
| edster_ | no it's just a fresh install | 09:08 |
| bioterror | weird | 09:08 |
| edster_ | i'm trying to update to 2.79 now.. see if that helps.. default install was on 2.73 | 09:08 |
| bioterror | oh great | 09:10 |
| bioterror | I got update which askd if I would like to set key to change keyboard layout | 09:10 |
| bioterror | I chose not to add that key | 09:10 |
| bioterror | and now Ive got american keyboard layout instead if finnish/swedish | 09:11 |
| edster_ | oh.. that happened during the update? didn't ask me that.. weird. | 09:11 |
| bioterror | well, Im running natty | 09:11 |
| bioterror | :D | 09:11 |
| edster_ | oh.. how is that btw | 09:11 |
| bioterror | but still | 09:11 |
| edster_ | using lxde? | 09:11 |
| bioterror | yeah | 09:11 |
| edster_ | stable enough for everyday use? | 09:12 |
| bioterror | depends, if you can live things like these and you can solve problems like these | 09:13 |
| edster_ | so probably not. :) | 09:13 |
| edster_ | darn.. segfault with 2.7.9 | 09:13 |
| bioterror | you have something broken | 09:14 |
| edster_ | it's default installation.. unless there's something funny wiht my hardware and lubuntu.. | 09:14 |
| bioterror | https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Backtrace | 09:14 |
| bioterror | do a backtrace | 09:14 |
| bioterror | and post to launchpad your bug | 09:15 |
| edster_ | ya.. i think i'll do that.. | 09:15 |
| edster_ | btw.. do u know if smb is integrated into pcman | 09:16 |
| bioterror | ability to browser window shares | 09:16 |
| edster_ | ya | 09:16 |
| bioterror | or you want to share something_ | 09:16 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get install gvfs-backends | 09:16 |
| bioterror | and restart pcmanfm | 09:16 |
| edster_ | read/write to winshare | 09:16 |
| edster_ | let me try that | 09:17 |
| bioterror | I'm not satisfied with this now that I have to setxkbmap | 09:19 |
| edster_ | what is that | 09:19 |
| bioterror | had to make xorg.conf and add keyboard lines | 09:27 |
| bioterror | öÖÄöä, works like a charm | 09:27 |
| edster_ | hey. my gdb and pidgin both froze | 09:30 |
| edster_ | while i'm trying to do a backtrace | 09:30 |
| edster_ | dont know what the deal is with that | 09:30 |
| bioterror | edster_, I suggest to run memtest86+ | 09:38 |
| edster_ | oh.. u think it's a hardware memory issue | 09:39 |
| bioterror | edster_, worth of checking, not normal | 10:02 |

| JLuc | ok when i'm here ! | 11:19 |
| Yorvyk | bioterror: all the Dropbox installs I've done produce a .desktop file in Autostart | 11:19 |
| JLuc | i had to add a line in /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart | 11:21 |
| JLuc | as i had done previously with skype | 11:22 |
| JLuc | but here the line refers to the absolute path of the appl, /home/me/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd | 11:23 |
| JLuc | well... | 11:24 |
| JLuc | next work : provide a way to send reduced photographs with thunderbird without having to use gimp previously... | 11:24 |
| JLuc | you know how ? | 11:25 |
| JLuc | well... | 11:28 |
| bioterror | imagemagick | 11:28 |
| JLuc | see later | 11:28 |
| bioterror | ofcourse | 11:28 |
| JLuc | ok i will try | 11:29 |
| bioterror | convert is okay | 11:29 |
| bioterror | but I think it will change the origina | 11:29 |
| bioterror | original | 11:29 |
| bioterror | sorry | 11:29 |
| bioterror | mogrify is the one that changes "original" file | 11:30 |
| bioterror | and convert does it without touching the original | 11:30 |
| bioterror | http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php | 11:30 |
| JLuc | i would like to get a right click interface | 11:31 |
| JLuc | with a "send reduced image" option on image files | 11:31 |
| bioterror | yeah and I would like to date miss universumn, but well, you know, things just doesnt happen ;) | 11:31 |
| JLuc | in the file manager | 11:31 |
| JLuc | ah | 11:31 |
| bioterror | imagemagicks convert is closest thing that you get | 11:31 |

| kosaidpo_ | hello guys | 11:32 |
| kosaidpo_ | idk why when i try to install something it suggest to me a hole bucnh of other packages and its not cool at all anynoe kno how to avoid this ?? | 11:33 |
| kosaidpo_ | here http://pastebin.com/mgnmNZTJ so much packages to install when i asked to install only 4 | 11:33 |
| bioterror | how about reading the man page of apt-get | 11:37 |
| bioterror | there's a section which says: | 11:37 |
| bioterror | --no-install-recommends | 11:37 |
| bioterror | Do not consider recommended packages as a dependency for | 11:37 |
| bioterror | installing. Configuration Item: APT::Install-Recommends. | 11:37 |
| kosaidpo_ | bioterror: okies thanks | 11:38 |
| kosaidpo_ | bioterror: btw is there any dictionnary ican use offline ?? | 11:39 |
| kosaidpo_ | i mean an dicotionnary app ;] | 11:39 |
| bioterror | I dunno | 11:39 |
| bioterror | I use "dict" | 11:39 |
| kosaidpo_ | but u have to be connected to the net ?? | 11:40 |
| kosaidpo_ | me iwant one that can work offline : O | 11:40 |
| bioterror | well, I'm 24/7 connected to intahnetz, unless my ISP messes things up | 11:40 |
| kosaidpo_ | haha i can see | 11:40 |
| Yorvyk | kosaidpo_: It's kanagram that brings in all those files, being a KDE app it needs the libraries. | 11:42 |
| kosaidpo_ | Yorvyk: thanks ;] | 11:42 |
| kosaidpo_ | ill see how kde tend to be heavy tho | 11:43 |
| JLuc | miss universum is my everyday neighbour so i'm used to it and would miss it | 11:43 |
| bioterror | :D | 11:43 |
| JLuc | i will check on geckozone | 11:44 |
| Yorvyk | kosaidpo_: what do you mean by dictionary | 11:44 |
| bioterror | Yorvyk, something like "dict" I assume | 11:45 |
| kosaidpo_ | to find definition of words and can be used offline ( not translating ) | 11:45 |
| Yorvyk | I think bioterror is right and there isn't one | 11:46 |
| kosaidpo_ | :P and this dicts cant use it offline ?? | 11:47 |
| JLuc | before and without reducing images... | 11:56 |
| JLuc | is there a way to get "send file by mail" on right clicking a document icon in the file manager or desktop ? | 11:56 |
| Yorvyk | JLuc: cunning programming :p | 11:57 |
| bioterror | you should suggest that one to pcman ;D | 12:03 |
| JLuc | I need a dict too... or a slang dict maybe ? | 12:07 |
| JLuc | Marked by or given to artful subtlety and deceptiveness. | 12:08 |
| JLuc | 2. Executed with or exhibiting ingenuity. | 12:08 |
| JLuc | 3. Delicately pleasing; pretty or cute: a cunning pet.$ | 12:08 |
| bioterror | yeah, one urban dictionary application is welcome and one for querying encyclopedia dramatica :D | 12:08 |
| JLuc | it should be 2. | 12:09 |
| JLuc | then, 1 too ! | 12:09 |
| JLuc | is it the same with ubuntu and other distros ? | 12:09 |
| kosaidpo_ | JLuc: stardict i jst install ed it | 12:13 |
| kosaidpo_ | its offline | 12:14 |
| JLuc | non c'était une blaque le dico : je comprenais pas 'cunning' ;-) | 12:15 |
| JLuc | ubuntu seems to have "send to" option | 12:15 |
| JLuc | and "send to trash" aswell | 12:16 |
| JLuc | so its specific to lubuntu | 12:16 |
| bioterror | those are in nautilus | 12:16 |
| bioterror | lubunt uses pcmanfm | 12:17 |
| Yorvyk | Once you start adding features things get bigger and slower | 12:22 |
| edster_ | Yorvyk: Agree. Just look at xubuntu now. | 12:44 |
| bioterror | shell :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDddd | 12:52 |
| bioterror | UNION | 12:52 |
| bioterror | DINOCO | 12:52 |

| bioterror | ohop | 12:52 |
| bioterror | wrong window | 12:52 |
| bioterror | if I type /clear, you wont see those lines | 12:52 |
| bioterror | ou yeah | 12:53 |
| JLuc | i have installed nautilus | 12:53 |
| bioterror | my condolences | 12:54 |
| JLuc | there is 'send to trash' but not 'send by mail' in its icons right clic | 12:54 |

| umino | console is faster if you know what you want ^_^ | 20:42 |
| bioterror | sure it is | 20:42 |
| bioterror | you dont have to move mouse all the time and clicketi click click | 20:42 |
| umino | yeah ... but for a linux noob like me kinda confusing sometimes | 20:43 |
| umino | ok ... i have a screen in the console that tells me something about a license agreement ??? | 20:44 |
| bioterror | ok | 20:44 |
| umino | enter doesnt work | 20:44 |
| bioterror | you have to accept that EULA | 20:44 |
| bioterror | use tab key | 20:44 |
| bioterror | to navigate | 20:44 |
| umino | oh damn ... forgot about that way to navigate ... | 20:45 |
| umino | :-) | 20:46 |
| bioterror | umino, do you have windows shares in your home lan | 20:47 |
| umino | lots ... this box i'm sitting on is the ONLY one running linux | 20:47 |
| bioterror | umino, sudo apt-get install gvfs-backends | 20:47 |
| umino | and then ? can i share files over the network with my windose machines ? | 20:48 |
| bioterror | well, atleast you can connect to window shares ;) | 20:48 |
| umino | cool | 20:48 |
| umino | ok .. done | 20:49 |
| umino | and now just start chromium and see if it works ... or is there something else to do | 20:49 |
| umino | ? | 20:49 |
| bioterror | Sat22:40 <bioterror> and restart your browser and head to the site http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml | 20:50 |
| umino | jep ... works ... | 20:50 |
| umino | thanx a lot | 20:50 |
| bioterror | np | 20:50 |
| bioterror | hope you enjoy your lubuntu | 20:50 |
| umino | well ... basically it's one more try on linux out of curiousity | 20:51 |
| umino | but with ubuntu i'm already more comfortable than other linux dirstos i tried over the years | 20:53 |
| umino | the only thing is that running ubuntu on some old 1ghz machine with less than 512mb RAM is a pain in the arse | 20:54 |
| bioterror | lubuntu aint the easiest choise, but lightest | 20:54 |
| umino | yep ... | 20:54 |
| bioterror | umino, running anything with under 512MB is pain in the | 20:54 |
| umino | youre right ... | 20:54 |
| bioterror | my lubuntu uses 465MB RAM atm. and I'm IRCing with ssh and using chromium with ~10 tabs | 20:55 |
| umino | wow | 20:55 |
| umino | the thing is ... i have a lot of OOOOOLLLD boxes standing around ... | 20:55 |
| umino | i don'T need them any more .. | 20:56 |
| bioterror | if those are older than P4, recycle | 20:56 |
| umino | yeah ... like ... a couple of P III and Athlon (pre-XP) machines | 20:57 |
| bioterror | first athlons came around '99 if I rememer right | 20:57 |
| umino | something like that ... right | 20:58 |
| bioterror | I rememer attending some AMD happenings | 20:58 |
| umino | the point is ... this week i met a girl who doesn't even have a computer at all ... | 20:58 |
| umino | but wants one but has not much money either .. so just buying a new one isn'T an option | 20:59 |
| umino | i can'T give away my core2 duo because i need that one ... but anyway i want to give her a computer ... | 20:59 |
| bioterror | grab some RAM from all machines, put it in one | 20:59 |
| bioterror | and install lubuntu | 20:59 |
| umino | see .. thats what i have in mind ... | 20:59 |
| umino | now i have an athlon @1200 mhz with 2x256mb RAM (there simply weren't more slots on the mainboard) | 21:00 |
| umino | and some Pentium III @ 1ghz with about the same specs | 21:01 |
| bioterror | 1.4GHz PIII can compete with P4 1.8GHz | 21:01 |
| umino | and now i wanted to test out if lubuntu can make a usable computer out of these old farts ... | 21:02 |
| umino | ubuntu is too "heavy" | 21:02 |
| umino | ok .. gotta go ... dinners ready ... | 21:02 |
| bioterror | laters | 21:03 |
| umino | thanx for the help ... see you soon | 21:03 |

| bioterror | that's easy | 22:48 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, o/ | 22:48 |
| bioterror | edit lubuntu-rc.xml | 22:48 |
| bioterror | there's a section | 22:48 |
| bioterror | <!-- Keybindings for windows --> | 22:49 |
| bioterror | <keybind key="A-F3"> | 22:49 |
| bioterror | <action name="Iconify"/> | 22:49 |
| bioterror | </keybind> | 22:49 |
| bioterror | or what ever you want | 22:49 |
| bioterror | sorry | 22:49 |
| bioterror | that minimizes the active one | 22:49 |
| bioterror | but it's close :D | 22:49 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, tkz so i just to edit that xml file. Coll, thanks a lot :) | 22:50 |
| bioterror | yeah | 22:50 |
| bioterror | .config/lxde/lubuntu-rc.xml | 22:51 |
| bioterror | if I remember right | 22:51 |
| bioterror | I'm not on my lubuntu machine, so I cant say it exactly | 22:51 |
| bioterror | but that's how you do it with Openbox | 22:51 |
| bioterror | technically you can launch that application which is located in lxpanel | 22:52 |
| bioterror | I think that can be done also with conky :P | 22:56 |
| bioterror | <action name="ToggleShowDesktop"/> | 22:56 |
| bioterror | that's the action you're after | 22:56 |
| bioterror | xiaoy, any progress? :D | 22:59 |

| xiaoy | i need Alt plus 'x' charachter | 23:50 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, is like "A-x" ? | 23:52 |
| lxg | hi. i have newly installed lubuntu, and chose to have an encrypted home. but it is not auto-mounted on login | 23:52 |
| lxg | instead i can "overmount" the home manually | 23:53 |
| lxg | i know from ubuntu 9.10 that it went automatically | 23:53 |
| lxg | is there a way to get this behaviour with the current lubuntu? | 23:53 |
| lxg | and: is this specific to lubuntu, or is this the same in ubuntu, too? | 23:54 |
