[01:24] <Neosano> Hello guys, finally installed lubuntu on my main PC! Yay :) Any good cursor that suits lubuntu style?
[01:24] <Neosano> I don't like this black one :o
[01:29] <Neosano> ehh..
[06:58] <UBuxuBU> did lubuntu leave out the "search" feature in synaptic?
[06:58] <UBuxuBU> my search bar is ubusable wheni am in my lubuntu vm
[06:58] <UBuxuBU> unusable*
[07:01] <JoeMaverickSett> UBuxuBU: if you want it here is how; http://joemavericksett.wordpress.com/2010/11/03/quick-search-box-on-lubuntu/
[07:03] <UBuxuBU> ty
[07:03] <UBuxuBU> but why is it not working
[07:04] <JoeMaverickSett> UBuxuBU: what is not working? you mean on default?
[07:04] <UBuxuBU> is that all part of being lightweight
[07:04] <UBuxuBU> why do i have to do the installs to make it work
[07:05] <UBuxuBU> why di i have to fix it on a freash install
[07:05] <UBuxuBU> did the lubuntu team disable it to be lightweight
[07:14] <UBuxuBU> oh well thanks JoeMaverickSett
[07:18] <JoeMaverickSett> UBuxuBU: no problem. i think it was disabled because of taking up resources, but i'm not entirely sure though.
[07:18] <JoeMaverickSett> UBuxuBU: i'll ask someone like phill when they wake up/are around. :)
[07:19] <UBuxuBU> i just wanted to make sure my install wasnt corrupt
[07:20] <bioterror> apt-get-xapian uses lots of diskspace
[07:21] <bioterror> and as lubuntu is targetted for the lowend computer, you dont want to waste ~1GB of harddrive for the apt-library on your computer
[07:21] <bioterror> I'm the one to blame on this
[07:21] <bioterror> as I took this one to mailing list once
[07:21] <bioterror> if I remember right
[07:21] <bioterror> or did I
[07:22] <bioterror> I think I did
[07:22] <bioterror> well, you dont need that anyways as you have apt-cache
[07:23] <UBuxuBU> no wonder they call u bioterror
[07:23] <bioterror> yeah, I tend to fart alot
[07:24] <bioterror> might be becouse of my lactose intolerance
[07:29] <bioterror> I really had a shattered memory of this thingie
[07:31] <hblount> hi. sorry im noob, can anyone tell me how to install gz file? i want to install true combat elite game
[07:36] <bioterror> how about extracting that file and check the README -file
[07:37] <hblount> i cant extract. at least not with right click menu option :P
[07:37] <bioterror> :D
[07:37] <bioterror> tar zxvf fooo.tar.gz
[07:38] <bioterror> z means you have gunzip file too
[07:42] <hblount> gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
[07:42] <hblount> tar: Child returned status 1
[07:42] <hblount> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[07:44] <bioterror> would you like to share the whole name of the file with us
[07:45] <hblount> ET_v2.60_Linux.run.gz
[07:45] <bioterror> gunzip ET_v2.60_Linux.run.gz
[07:48] <hblount> gzip: ET_v2.60_Linux.run.gz: not in gzip format
[07:48] <JoeMaverickSett> *note* are you in the directory where the .gz file is? :)
[07:49] <bioterror> well
[07:49] <bioterror> chmod +x ET_v2.60_Linux.run.gz
[07:49] <bioterror> ./ET_v2.60_Linux.run.gz
[07:51] <hblount> yes im in the direcotry
[07:52] <hblount> cool there we go
[07:53] <hblount> crap

[17:54] <pip__> is there a way to access error logs when a kernel panic has forced me to shutdown & then restart my machine?
[17:55] <pip__> maybe with live cd?
[18:09] <Mark76> No idea pip
[18:09] <pip__> nor me
[18:09] <pip__> :)
[18:10] <Mark76> Nor anyone else by the looks of it
[18:10] <pip__> haha, it was worth a shot.........
[18:10] <Mark76> I suppose
[18:11] <pip__> Now & then I do get a list of 'stuff' but mainly just a lock up with sum pretty flashing lights
[18:11] <Mark76> I don't even know where the error logs are kept
[18:11] <Mark76> Come to think of it, I don't even know what a kernel panic looks like
[18:12] <pip__> like a lock up with some flashing lights...........
[18:12] <Mark76> On the monitor?
[18:13] <pip__> caps lock & num lock for me & 1 other
[18:13] <pip__> dunno what thaat 1 is tho
[18:13] <Mark76> Scroll Lock
[18:14] <pip__> eerrrr, dunno the one that flashes when my box is doing stuff
[18:14] <Mark76> What kind of a box is it?
[18:15] <pip__> laptop, pretty old
[18:15] <Mark76> Sounds like the hard drive to me
[18:16] <pip__> h'mmmmmmmmm it has got a few bad sectors
[18:16] <Mark76> What OS?
[18:16] <Mark76> I don't think Linux does sectors
[18:16] <pip__> lubuntu natty
[18:16] <Mark76> How odd
[18:16] <pip__> started with the 2.6.37-xx kernels
[18:16] <Mark76> Have you got it partitioned?
[18:17] <pip__> yeah, mint 10 also on there
[18:17] <pip__> it also happens on an old desktop at my place
[18:17] <Mark76> Hmm
[18:17] <pip__> (I'm at my folks now)
[18:17] <Mark76> Ah right
[18:17] <Mark76> The laptop is your travel computer?
[18:18] <pip__> nah, I just leave it at my folks 'cos my dad told me NEVER to touch his machine
[18:18] <pip__> God rest his soul
[18:19] <pip__> but thats a long story haha
[18:20] <Mark76> I see
[18:21] <Mark76> Sunday. Blah

[19:52] <bioterror> http://ietherpad.com/IbFVN4F0Rt I made a little FAQ & Answers listing that anyone can edit. I hope others will contribute to this too
[19:55] <penguin_> anybody know the password or how to set one for the default "penguin" user on lubuntu virtualbox?
[19:55] <bioterror> no idea about virtualboxes
[19:55] <bioterror> but it should act like a real OS?
[19:56] <bioterror> so adduser
[20:01] <penguin_> I found it, happypenguin.tw ...
[22:36] <xiaoy> bioterror, o/
[22:38] <xiaoy> how to add an application launcher on the lxde pannel?
[23:00] <xiaoy> how to add a application launcher on lxde pannel?
[23:23] <ChrisDruif> Here :P
[23:23] <ChrisDruif> What's wrong :P
[23:36] <arkanabar> I've installed the Gnome Sound recorder, but on launch it says my sound settings are invalid, and I need to run "Sound Preferences" under the System Preferences menu.  what do I need to do?
[23:39] <arkanabar> specifically, what should I get/run to fix my audio capture settings?
[23:41] <ChrisDruif> Sorry, I don't know. But seeing it doesn't work atm, it might be worth to just try different settings? Seeing you can't "break" anything?
[23:42] <arkanabar> I don't seem to have any app to modify audio capture settings.  Could you suggest one?
[23:47] <ChrisDruif> Isn't Sound Preferences in System Preferences?
[23:48] <arkanabar> not for me.  can you look at the properties of the link and tell me the executable it invokes?
[23:49] <ChrisDruif> Link? :S
[23:51] <arkanabar> menu entry.  right-click the menu entry, and select "properties" from the context menu
[23:52] <ChrisDruif> I'm not running Lubuntu atm....brb, gonna install it on VM :D
[23:53] <arkanabar> heck, do it in GNOME!!  the app will work, I just need to know its name so I can invoke it
[23:55] <ChrisDruif> It's just called Sound in Gnome (System>Preferences>Sound)
