| johnny77 | I saw this http://wiki.lxde.org/en/How_to_start_applications_on_specific_desktops but when I try it, it doesn't seem to work. | 00:52 |
| ChrisDruif | I would be thrilled to learn how to open programs on specific desktops :D | 00:54 |
| ChrisDruif | Maybe I can make more sense of it :) | 00:54 |
| johnny77 | ChrisDruif: I was thinking it may need a restart, but haven't tried it yet because I'm working on other things. | 00:55 |
| ChrisDruif | Might be the case :) | 00:56 |
| ChrisDruif | Some settings only get applied after a logout/restart :) | 00:57 |
| stlsaint | you dont have to restart the entire system to get a basic restart | 01:09 |
| stlsaint | [code] | 01:09 |
| stlsaint | sudo /etc/init.d/lxdm restart | 01:09 |
| stlsaint | [/code] | 01:09 |
| stlsaint | that will restart lxdm and bring you to the login screen | 01:10 |
| stlsaint | without rebooting the computer | 01:10 |
| ChrisDruif | Alright...didn't know that :) | 01:16 |
| stlsaint | ChrisDruif: nice eh :D | 01:16 |
| ChrisDruif | Learn everyday....great day today :P | 01:16 |
| stlsaint | i use it all the time | 01:16 |
| stlsaint | yep yep | 01:16 |
| ChrisDruif | restarting lxdm and conceptualization :D | 01:18 |
| arkanabar | ChrisDruif, sorry, was afk. | 01:24 |
| ChrisDruif | It's owkay :) | 01:24 |
| arkanabar | ChrisDruif, there is no package "sound" in synaptic. did you right-click the item and select properties? | 01:29 |
| ChrisDruif | phillw: ping | 01:37 |
| jmarsden | What is still needed to be done for Lubuntu to become "official" as a Ubuntu distribution? Is there a wiki page or other info about this somewhere?? | 01:38 |
| ChrisDruif | phillw: arkanabar was having some questions about the sound in Lubuntu, maybe you know something? | 01:39 |
| phillw | jmarsden: Canonical are currently writing up the rules for adopting a new member of the family. We are already treated as a full member by all teams I interact with. | 01:39 |
| phillw | ChrisDruif: bioterror would be best to help on that. | 01:40 |
| jmarsden | OK, great. I saw an article saying Lubuntu was trying to gain official acceptance, and was wondering if there was any technical work still needed for that. Might be good to put a status page on this aspecty of Lubuntu somewhere on the wiki? | 01:40 |
| arkanabar | bioterror, are you on? | 01:42 |
| jmarsden | arkanabar: His away msg says he is "not here" :) | 01:42 |
| phillw | jmarsden: http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=251 | 01:42 |
| arkanabar | yippee. I need to fix my audio capture configuration, and have no clue. | 01:42 |
| phillw | arkanabar: that makes two of us. The tech guys are tucked up safely in bed, please be patient. | 01:43 |
| phillw | arkanabar: we do take the straight jackets off them for a few hours each day :P | 01:44 |
| arkanabar | if you know a CLI tool to do it, that'd work for me. | 01:45 |
| jmarsden | arkanabar: aplay? alsamixer? What exactly do you want to do with your sound? | 01:47 |
| phillw | arkanabar: I've had a quick dive through the email archives, and see no issues reported? Can you be more specific as to your problem? | 01:48 |
| arkanabar | school requires capturing sound from mic for assignments. I chose gnome sound recorder. | 01:49 |
| arkanabar | running gnome sound recorder, I get "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them with the "Sound Preferences" under the System Preferences menu." | 01:49 |
| arkanabar | that message is written for gnome interface, which I don't have. | 01:50 |
| jmarsden | arkanabar: If you prefer a command line tool, try arecord. | 01:52 |
| arkanabar | given my environment, I absolutely require push-to-talk. | 01:52 |
| jmarsden | I'm a bit confused... at 17:45:05 Pacific you said "<arkanabar> if you know a CLI tool to do it, that'd work for me." If arecord won't suit, and you can't get Gnome sound recorder to work, have you tried audacity? | 01:55 |
| arkanabar | CLI tool to configure audio capture. sorry. | 01:57 |
| arkanabar | let me go try audacity. | 01:57 |
| stlsaint | hyperair: welcome back | 01:58 |
| hyperair | hello | 01:59 |
| ChrisDruif | But my loves, I'm going to bed....3AM over here :P | 01:59 |
| stlsaint | l8er | 02:01 |
| stlsaint | hyperair: sup | 02:01 |
| phillw | hyperair: could you have quick chat with arkanabar about his sound issue? | 02:11 |
| hyperair | phillw: sorry, at work | 02:12 |
| phillw | okies | 02:12 |
| arkanabar | I read man arecord, and I figured out what I need to know to use it. | 02:48 |

| bioterror | damn that will be a killer! | 08:17 |
| bioterror | ahhh | 08:26 |
| bioterror | I have registered a certain page | 08:26 |
| bioterror | easier to remember | 08:26 |
| bioterror | http://lubuntu.ietherpad.com/1 | 08:29 |
| bioterror | that should work now | 08:30 |
| bioterror | I can add users :) | 08:30 |
| bioterror | we can easily add stuff to there and move them to wiki or something | 08:30 |
| bioterror | phillw, what do you think | 08:30 |
| head_victim | bioterror: you've pretty much covered all the basics on that. | 08:42 |
| head_victim | Some of which will be fixed next release (hopefully :) ) | 08:42 |
| bioterror | we get new ones | 08:43 |
| bioterror | ;D | 08:43 |
| bioterror | dont you worry about that one ;) | 08:43 |
| head_victim | Ooh good stuff | 08:51 |
| yuler | I've a 700Mhz P3 with 384mb RAM (giving some to intel 82815 video chipset). Can lubuntu turn it into a responsive computer? | 09:19 |
| bioterror | yes and no | 09:20 |
| bioterror | I suggest to get more RAM, but it will be "usable", I bet ;) | 09:20 |
| yuler | That might be difficult, considering it maxes out @ 512mb and is PC100 | 09:21 |
| bioterror | :) | 09:21 |
| bioterror | not that bad, I think | 09:21 |
| yuler | I wouldn't know where to look for hardware 10 years old | 09:22 |
| bioterror | I would ask from my friends if they has any in their desks or shelves | 09:23 |
| yuler | I've considered Xubuntu for the task, but it seems lubuntu is even lighter | 09:23 |
| bioterror | and I know, they have | 09:23 |
| bioterror | yuler, go with the Lubuntu | 09:23 |
| yuler | ah, that assumes I have friends! :) | 09:23 |
| bioterror | Xubuntu rides with the fame from the past | 09:23 |
| yuler | will the instructions to convert Ubuntu to Lubuntu from http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde work? | 09:29 |
| bioterror | yes | 09:30 |
| bioterror | but I suggest first to do lubuntu-desktop -installation | 09:31 |
| bioterror | with --no-install-recommends | 09:32 |
| yuler | that different than sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop? | 09:32 |
| bioterror | it drops some not needed dependencies installed | 09:32 |
| bioterror | less stuff on your harddrive | 09:33 |
| yuler | not sure I follow.. | 09:35 |
| bioterror | ofcourse best thing is to install Lubuntu 10.10 from the CD ;) | 09:36 |
| yuler | I thought I saw a .torrent @ lubuntu.net somewhere.... | 09:40 |
| bioterror | yes | 09:40 |
| bioterror | I'm seeding one | 09:40 |
| bioterror | http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/lubuntu-10.10.iso.torrent | 09:40 |
| yuler | The torrent will be a good test because the satellite ISP has been doggedly slow recently | 09:43 |
| szczur | hmm, i think installing from mini.iso would be faster > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall | 09:44 |
| szczur | why install ubuntu and then remove and install another collection of packages | 09:45 |
| szczur | when you can do it from CLI and then install Lubuntu desktop :) | 09:46 |
| bioterror | szczur, it's not faster | 09:47 |
| bioterror | first it takes ages to get that mini iso to computer and then it takes also ages to install packages :D | 09:47 |
| szczur | depends on speed of your ISP | 09:47 |
| szczur | errr.. your internet connection | 09:48 |
| bioterror | well, the mirror is slow | 09:48 |
| bioterror | :D | 09:48 |
| szczur | i can argue with this :P | 09:49 |
| renatov | hello guys! | 09:49 |
| renatov | good night to all =D | 09:49 |
| szczur | installing ubuntu on 700 MHz machine with 378 MB of ram only to install lubuntu would be a PITA | 09:49 |
| szczur | 384* | 09:50 |
| bioterror | renatov, hi | 09:50 |
| renatov | =] | 09:50 |
| szczur | hi renatov | 09:50 |
| yuler | szczur: why a PITA? | 09:50 |
| szczur | installing whole ubuntu with GNOME and so on will definitely take some time | 09:52 |
| szczur | and then you would have to remove all of these packages and install other ones | 09:52 |
| bioterror | :) | 09:53 |
| bioterror | no problem if you have time | 09:53 |
| bioterror | I've had on my wifes laptop ubuntu, kubuntu, xfce, ubuntu :D | 09:53 |
| szczur | CLI install takes 15 min to download needed packages on 1Mbit internet IIRC (i did it 4 months ago :P) | 09:55 |
| yuler | Since my inet speed goes as low as 2k/s, I think my bandwidth is best used towards getting the Lubuntu CD once, but I may want to try the Ubuntu rebuild method in the future.. | 09:56 |
| bioterror | 2kb/s?! | 09:56 |
| szczur | ohh, 2k/s, damn | 09:56 |
| szczur | it feels like modem connection | 09:57 |
| bioterror | w00t | 09:57 |
| szczur | :) | 09:57 |
| yuler | yea. Something is really wrong with the satellite. Acted up about 1-2 weeks ago | 09:57 |
| bioterror | okay | 09:57 |
| bioterror | you have to wait that earth is orbiting in right position ;) | 09:57 |
| renatov | hey guys, I'm having some trouble here using lxde + fluxbox... have you ever tryed? | 09:57 |
| bioterror | renatov, I cant understand why you want to use lxde wit fluxbox | 09:58 |
| yuler | Wish I knew how to verify the dish's beam towards the satellite location | 09:58 |
| renatov | bioterror: because I prefer fluxbox than openbox... I more used to the first one | 10:00 |
| renatov | *I'm | 10:00 |
| bioterror | I've never liked fluxbox | 10:00 |
| renatov | really? why? | 10:00 |
| bioterror | dunno, never felt that good | 10:01 |
| bioterror | I tried first blackbox, I remember that | 10:01 |
| renatov | blackbox is too old and too limited | 10:01 |
| renatov | fluxbox and openbox are really similiar, they differ basically in the syntax of the config files | 10:02 |
| renatov | but I prefer the way fluxbox handles transparency and remember apps attributes | 10:02 |
| bioterror | well, fluxbox comes with the tasbar | 10:03 |
| bioterror | task | 10:03 |
| renatov | yeah, but that taskbar has no start buttom, that's why I use lxde+fluxbox... and lxde has some awesome apps | 10:03 |
| renatov | I'm using lxde+fluxbox and everything is fine, but when I right click the desktop, fluxbox menu appears and never goes out | 10:04 |
| renatov | I guess it's because fluxbox menu is configured to desappear when fluxbox desktop is clicked... but it can't be done, because lxde desktop is running | 10:04 |
| renatov | can you think about some way to handle this problem? | 10:05 |

| ChrisDruif | Awesome bugbot :D | 14:36 |
| phillw | head_victim: bug has been confirmed :) | 14:54 |
| evilbug | is lubuntu a live cd? | 15:49 |
| Mark76 | I believe so | 15:49 |
| Mkaysi | Yes, it is. | 15:50 |
| evilbug | and what are the specs to boot it? i don't see them on the site. | 15:50 |
| head_victim | If you have the desktop version it is, the alternate and mini versions are not liveCDs. | 15:50 |
| head_victim | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu#System%20requirements is a good start for system requirements. | 15:51 |
| head_victim | Obviously the lower your specs the less responsive it will be. | 15:51 |
| evilbug | when i clicked the "get lubuntu" link i only got one version, lubuntu-10.10 | 15:52 |
| head_victim | evilbug: ok then that is the desktop version | 15:52 |
| evilbug | thank you. | 15:55 |
| head_victim | No problem. | 15:56 |
| head_victim | The system requirements link I posted also has links to a lower specced "minimal" installation instructions should you have a REALLY old pc | 15:56 |
| ChrisDruif | Is it possible to run Lubuntu 10.10 in VirtualBox? :-/ | 15:58 |
| evilbug | i'm just trying to run a live desktop on a 2.8gHz p4 256mb ram to save some files off of the hd since the xp installation isn't bootable anymore. | 15:58 |
| head_victim | ChrisDruif: Should be, I had it going when it wasn't a stable release. | 15:59 |
| evilbug | and i haven't had any luck with ubuntu or xubuntu | 15:59 |
| head_victim | evilbug: ah should be ok, that ram is a little low for a livecd | 15:59 |
| evilbug | since the requirements are 128 for lubuntu i think it'll be better than the min 256mb ubuntu requires. | 16:00 |
| ChrisDruif | evilbug: Maybe you could try Puppy Linux if that fails... | 16:00 |
| head_victim | Yeah, I'd give it a go though. | 16:01 |
| evilbug | i'll see. | 16:01 |
| evilbug | this computer worked with xp sp2 so i don't see why it would be this slow loading xubuntu or lubuntu even. | 16:01 |
| head_victim | xp was built 10 or so years ago don't forget ;) | 16:02 |
| evilbug | but the service packs? | 16:02 |
| evilbug | plus 2.8 p4 doesn't seem too bad. | 16:03 |
| head_victim | I'm using a 3.2 p4 right now :D | 16:04 |
| head_victim | But it's 2am here so I'm heading to bed. Good luck and I'm sure others can help if you run into problems | 16:04 |
| evilbug | thanks for your help! | 16:04 |
| evilbug | sleep well. | 16:04 |
| ChrisDruif | Sleep well head_victim :) | 16:05 |
| ChrisDruif | 2.66GHz Has run Ubuntu...not very quick, bet neither was XP | 16:06 |
| evilbug | well ubuntu with a light desktop should be fine. | 16:06 |
| evilbug | i remember running ubuntu with openbox at only 124mb. | 16:06 |
| evilbug | on a 2.17 amd xp. | 16:06 |
| ChrisDruif | Indeed, but it's still from a CD... | 16:07 |
| ChrisDruif | But I'm a gonna go...have to get going to dinner with some friends :) | 16:07 |
